Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

In Luoyang City, in the government office of Taifu Temple, Zhang Tingxuan was dealing with official business, when a subordinate official said that a postman from Fuzhou sent him a letter outside.Zhang Tingxuan thought it was a letter from Zhang Yan or Zhang Tingguan. After all, they usually corresponded between them, but he saw a name on the envelope that surprised him.

Zhang He was born as a concubine, and her birth did not attract much attention. However, the Liu family only gave birth to one child, Zhang Yan, and Zhang Tingyu informed Zhang Tingxuan of her existence out of consideration for the inheritance of incense.Zhang Tingxuan was already far away in Luoyang at this time, he only knew Zhang He's name, but he had never seen her.

Later, Zhang Tingxuan almost forgot about Zhang He's low profile, but Zhang Tingyu occasionally praised her for her intelligence in his letters, so he paid more attention to it.As for the separation of Zhang Yan and Zhang He after Zhang Tingyu's death, he also heard about it, but he had no intention of intervening.

All these years, their uncles and nephews have never been in touch, and he still couldn't figure out why Zhang He would suddenly write to him.But right now he was busy with his affairs, and the letter sent by Zhang He was very thick, with a book attached, he really didn't have time to read it, so he put it on hold for now.

After he was released from the Yamen, his colleagues invited him to drink. After thinking about it for a while, he went happily.As soon as he left the yamen office, a subordinate official ran over and reminded, "Zhang Shaoqing, you left behind a letter."

It was only then that Zhang Tingxuan remembered Zhang He's letter. After he got into the carriage, he opened Zhang He's letter and read it. There were three things mentioned in it. One was the discovery of a new crop of potatoes, the other was about sweet potatoes, and the third was about Zhang He's crown. matter of ceremony.

Now he is the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and Taifu Temple is in charge of the taxation, money and goods cashier affairs sent from the world to Beijing, which is equivalent to taking charge of the national treasury. The potatoes and yams mentioned by Zhang He produce several times as much as grains, He was also quite pleasantly surprised by the famine year.If these crops are as Zhang He said, if there is a famine in the coming year, there will be no need for too much trouble when Taifu Temple distributes money and silk for disaster relief and famine preparation.

It's just that he looked around, but he didn't see Zhang He mentioning how to farm. He suddenly remembered that when the letter was delivered, there was a book attached, but now there was no book!He hastily asked people to stop the carriage and drove back. Fortunately, the government office hadn't closed so soon. He found the book without any title on the desk. When he opened it, he found that it really contained the methods of cultivating potatoes.

Then he was a little puzzled. Although Zhang He told him that he had this crop, he didn't send it along with him. How would he cultivate it?He picked up the letter and read it several times, and found that Zhang He had mentioned in the letter that some potato seeds were also sent along with the letter.

Although the distance from Fuzhou to Luoyang is long, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions in the process of delivering the tokens, but Zhang He went to the government's post post, and losing the tokens is the dereliction of duty of the post.He was furious, and sent people to the post station the next day to pursue responsibility.

The postman who delivered the letter was at a loss. After interrogation, he found out that when he delivered the letter to Zhang He, he was delayed on the road for a while due to heavy snow. When he arrived in Luoyang, the potatoes had already sprouted.He was worried that Zhang Tingxuan would blame him, so he threw the potatoes halfway.

The punishment for dereliction of duty of the postmen was handled by the officials of the post station, but Zhang Tingxuan, who had lost the potato seeds, had no choice but to write back to Zhang He, asking her to send some potato seeds over, and at the same time, he had to say no to her as an elder. Be careful with your own words.

When Zhang He received Zhang Tingxuan's reply letter, it was the first month of Dacheng's 15th year.

The Lantern Festival has not yet passed, and there are lights and festoons everywhere.The Lantern Festival is also a veritable Lantern Festival. A mountain shed in the shape of a mountain forest is erected in Fuzhou City, with colorful lanterns of different shapes hanging on it, as well as calligraphy and paintings depicting fairy tales.

A few days before and after the Lantern Festival, there will be a variety of singing and dancing operas, and the government also organizes official prostitutes and musicians to perform on the streets, attracting common people to wait and see.At this time, the business of various restaurants is booming, and the colored lights hanging inside and outside are as bright as day, making it difficult to distinguish day from night.

Even in the countryside, there are lively ways of the common people.

Xia Jiniang began to tie the lanterns before the festival, while Zhang He cut the paper and glued it on the fabric, and then added a few strokes of paint on it to make it more consistent with the appearance of the lanterns.Zhang Xian followed Zhang He and imitated her to paint on the lantern, but he didn't know how to paint, so he drew a few random strokes.

When it came to the Lantern Festival, Zhang He and Xia Jiniang hung all the lanterns all over the mansion, and ran to the Qing River to release river lanterns.

The spring is cold and the river is gurgling.There is a real river lantern floating on the meandering Qinghe River, and the water flows gradually to the north, just like the fireflies seen in July, adding a touch of brightness to the starry night.

Zhang He watched the river lantern go away, then looked away, looked sideways at Xia Jiniang, and said, "Does Ji Niang make a wish?"

Xia Jiniang also looked away when she heard the words, and looked at Zhang He with a smile: "Yes, what wish did Erlang make?"

"I hope to live with you forever! There will be peace in the world, peace in the country and peace in the country, and the people will have enough food and clothing..."

"With so many wishes, Erlang is really greedy."

Zhang He pursed his lips and said, "I put so many river lanterns, why can I only make one wish?"

Xia Jiniang smiled and said, "If wishes are so easy to come true, wouldn't it be possible if everyone put more river lanterns?"

"Ji Niang's words are really bad for the atmosphere, I am not a child anymore, how can I not know this truth?"

Seeing that Zhang He was sullen, Xia Jiniang hurriedly said: "It's my fault, Erlang is going to be crowned soon, so don't be as knowledgeable as I am."

The auspicious day for Zhang He's coronation ceremony was chosen on the second day of February, the day of "welcoming wealth and honor", and that day also happened to be Zhang He's birthday.

Xia Jiniang prepared clothes for her crowning, because she needs to add clothes three times for the crowning ceremony. The first time is to wear a scarf, dark clothes, and a large belt, then add a gauze hat, a soap shirt, a leather belt, and shoes and socks, and finally the Futou, shirt and boots.

Xia Jiniang recalled that when she was attending the Ji ceremony, it was never so complicated, but the Zhang family valued these red tapes, so they just obeyed.

"It's fine if I don't have the same knowledge as you, just give me a kiss." Zhang He said.

Xia Jiniang scolded and said, "It's a black light, let people look at it, I'm afraid they will misunderstand us!"

Zhang He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the grass, and the movement was like the sound of a reptile slipping by, and he felt a chill down his spine.Xia Jiniang noticed that her expression was frozen, and asked, "What's wrong with Erlang?"

"Ji Niang..." Through the light of the lantern, Zhang He saw a shadow flashing by quickly, and almost cried, "Snake, snake!"

Shocked, Xia Jiniang's hairs stood on end, and she held the lantern to look around.But after looking for a while, she didn't see any trace of the snake. She raised her head to comfort Zhang He when she saw that her eyes were already tearing up.

"..."

"Ji Niang, let's go back quickly!" Zhang He said.

"Yeah." As soon as Xia Jiniang responded, Zhang He took her hand and ran home quickly.

Zhang He swore that she would never go to these places with a lot of grass and trees at night again!Although she had encountered snakes before, it was in broad daylight, and she ran away as soon as she found out, but now that the lights are out of control, she is really worried that she will accidentally step on a snake or be bitten.

After rushing home, she found the realgar from the utility room and sprinkled it at the door, for fear that snakes would follow them home.After thinking about it, I went to sprinkle some doors and holes everywhere, so that I felt more at ease.

Just as Zhang He was about to wipe her eyes with her hands, Xia Jiniang hurriedly pressed her arms and said, "How can you wipe your eyes if you haven't washed your hands?" Then she took out a towel and wiped her eyes, "Erlang earthworm and If you are not afraid of mice, why are you afraid of snakes?"

"Snakes can bite!" Zhang He said. In her previous life, she parked her small electric donkey under a tree, and when she was driving, a snake suddenly protruded from the front of the car, scaring her almost into a traffic accident.

Recalling this incident, Zhang He's heart beat terribly fast.Xia Jiniang held her cheeks, kissed her mouth, saw that she had diverted her thoughts, and kissed her softly and tenderly for a longer time... After repeating this three times, Zhang He's heartbeat had returned to calm.

"Okay, it's okay, I'm here!" Xia Jiniang said softly, it's been a long journey, and she still has a lot to learn about Zhang He!

"No, I still have something to do!" Zhang He said.

"Erlang, the scar is healed and he forgot the pain!" Xia Jiniang scolded with a meaningful smile.

Zhang He was silent for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Ji Niang, why don't we completely repair the house at home, now that we have horses, we also need stables, and..."

She hasn't had a chance to release a bunch of animals in Zhang He's system. If they are released in the future, there will naturally be not enough space. She not only needs to expand the back yard, but also the side yard.

With their current financial resources, Zhang He's wish is enough to come true, and the side yard that happened to be enough for livestock and poultry activities was indeed too small to fit all kinds of straw and fodder.Just like after Zhang He harvested potatoes and sweet potatoes, there was no place for those potato vines to be put aside.

But now it is quite difficult to rely on them to take care of these livestock and poultry. Zhang He still has to use the equipment that Qiu San asked to help him to figure out new agricultural equipment. of.

"How does Erlang want to repair it?" Xia Jiniang asked.

"I already have a thought in my mind, I will tell you another day!"

"Why another day?"

Zhang He hugged Xia Ji Niang and said, "Because I forgot about the pain when the scar was healed!"

"..."

After Zhang He planted ten acres of potatoes, he planted another ten acres of spring soybeans, ten acres of eggplants, and an additional acre of watermelons.Then he took out half of the bamboo basket and put the sprouted potatoes and sweet potatoes in sacks, ready to send them to Zhang Tingxuan's post office.

She suddenly remembered that the Chunwei exam was going to be next month, and Xia Luojin must have been in Luoyang, so in her reply to Zhang Tingxuan, she asked him to take care of Xia Luojin a little bit.

After handing over the reply letter to the post station, she specially instructed that this was what the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple wanted and should not be lost.If the postman lost these crops again and again, she would really be helpless.

In Zhang Tingxuan's reply to her, she also had some suggestions for her to choose the word. After thinking about it, she decided to use this word. After all, if she didn't use this word, she would have to wait for Zhang Yan to choose the word for her.

"What's the meaning of the word 'Qing'an' chosen by uncle for Erlang?" Xia Jiniang asked.

"Because of the elegance and tranquility of the white crane, 'Qing'an' was chosen as the character." Zhang Hedao, the character is the continuation or interpretation of the name, just as Zhang Tingyu chose the character for Zhang Yan at the beginning, and chose the character "Yu Fei" because of "Hong Yan Yu Fei". .

Although Zhang Tingxuan gave Zhang He another choice, "Heming" which symbolizes a noble gentleman, but Zhang He didn't think he was a noble and virtuous gentleman, so he chose "Qing'an".

Even the final words were decided, and the Zhang family also began to prepare for her crowning ceremony.
