Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

Zhang He didn't stay in Zhang's house for two days, so he went to Zhangjiazhuang to pick up Zhang Xian back to Qinghe Village. She was worried about the situation at home, but Zhang Tingguan comforted her: "I sent someone to pick up Xian'er, and I thought you wouldn't be able to do it for a while. When I went back, I sent a servant to take care of you."

Sure enough, after Zhang He returned to Qinghe Village, the poultry and old cattle at home were fine, and she didn't need to worry about her belongings—she was very poor!

In the case of Tian Zhong, there was the kidnapper Li's family. Seeing that Zhang He hadn't returned for two days, they discussed to help her take care of it.

When Aunt Li saw that she had finally returned, she quickly asked her where she had been these days. Zhang He thought that she had already received the Xia family's draft post sent back by the official matchmaker, and the appointment of the post was also arranged by the Liu family. If there are no accidents, this marriage will be settled in this way, and it doesn't hurt to tell the truth.

But before she opened her mouth, Zhang Xian, who learned about this on the way back, hurriedly replied: "Second brother is going to propose marriage to sister Xia."

Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, Zhang He: "Is what Brother Lu said true?"

Zhang He smiled helplessly: "What Lu'er said is true."

Aunt Li immediately touched Li Qingshi with her palms and said, "I just said they are suitable, brother donkey finally got the hang of it, it's great!" Her joy was no less than when she proposed marriage for Li Qingshi.

Li Qing said honestly that she never said anything suitable about them, but he was filial and agreed: "Well, mother's eyesight, I have already seen that they are a natural match!"

Zhang He blinked: "Auntie thinks we are suitable?"

"Isn't that right? I always tell Niang Ji that you don't care if she has a dowry or not, but she just doesn't believe it and says you don't like her!" Aunt Li said, turning her head and muttering again, "Nor It's in vain for me to tie the line for you!"

Only then did Zhang He realize that Mrs. Li always sent Xia Jiniang to run to her, and she was hiding such thoughts!She couldn't laugh or cry, but she had to thank Aunt Li, otherwise she would never have gotten so close to Xia Jiniang in her life.

"How did she say that I look down on her?" Zhang He asked in astonishment, "Do I look defiant?"

Aunt Li smiled and said: "That's just her shyness, it's nonsense, don't take it seriously!"

Aunt Li asked a few more questions, and Zhang He came together one by one. At present, they are only in the stage of making a decision, but when the ceremony is agreed, the Liu family will send someone to inform her of the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the three days before the dowry will be announced. She has to handle the first step by herself.

Seeing the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang He sent a few rice dumplings that Aunt Li helped make to Gao Dalang's family, a few to the kidnapper Li's family, and a few to Zhang Baochang's family, and kept the rest for her and Zhang Xian. eat.

Qinghe Village didn't hold dragon boat races because the river was not too wide, and there were dragon boat races in villages with slightly wider rivers downstream. Zhang He took Zhang Xian to Xiahe Village in the lower reaches of Qinghe River to join in the fun.

After she came back, she started to plant a few acres of autumn eggplants. This was what she had agreed with Kidnap Li before, and he would plant them, and he would take care of all the plowing and other things.It took her a lot of energy and financial resources to burn fire dung, find fishy water, etc., but she wanted to give Xia Jiniang a bride price, so she was reluctant to spend a lot of money at this time.

Zhang He went to the city to sell eggplants a few more times, and then told Zhang Chun that her eggplants were sold out, and the rest were stale, so she could no longer sell them to her.Zhang Chun was surprised: "Don't you have a secret recipe that can be stored for a longer time?"

There are indeed many eggplants in Zhang He's system warehouse, but she has already attracted the attention of others by extending the sale period of eggplants. If she continues to sell them, others will say that people like Li Qinggui and Aunt Li can't fool around. Yes, sooner or later they doubt themselves.

To be on the safe side, Zhang He decided to save the remaining eggplants for sale next time. Anyway, its freshness period in the system warehouse will not expire.

Since she was in the mature period of eggplants, the market has gradually reduced eggplants. In addition to regularly providing more than a dozen baskets at the price of more than 50 yuan a basket to the main store of Zhangjiayuanzi, she also paid [-] yuan to the main store. There are also many other restaurants and foot shops.

In this way, plus the net profit in the previous period, the net income these days has reached 48 yuan.

When Liu's messenger handed her the betrothal gift list to be prepared in front of her, she took a deep breath, not to mention that the 48 pennies had to be spent in full, and even [-]% of her family's wealth would have to be taken away!But she didn't regret spending the money.

The auspicious day Liu chose was on the second day of July, which was the best day calculated by the presiding master of Longquan Temple himself after combining her and Xia Jiniang's birthdays, and even the auspicious time was calculated.

In the next 30 days, Zhang He prepared jewellery, skirt pleats, satin, etc. as gifts and sent them to Xia's family. Considering the situation of Xia's family, she asked Li Qingshi to secretly transfer more than 30 pieces of money to Xia Cui's family as gifts. It was used to buy Xia Jiniang's dowry.

Xia Cui's family was naturally unwilling to accept it, but she knew that Zhang He had sent so many valuable dowry gifts, but their family couldn't produce anything decent for Xia Jiniang to marry with her. The Zhang family would definitely despise Xia Jiniang and make her Wronged.So Li Qingshi persuaded her again and again, and she finally accepted the money, and prepared colorful satin, pearls, silk handkerchiefs, etc. for Xia Jiniang as a return gift to Zhang He.

Seeing that Xia Cuishi had given out so much money, Xia Da guessed something, but he didn't have the intention of rejecting Zhang He.On the contrary, his two younger brothers couldn't help but say bitter words: "It turns out that the eldest brother saved a lot of dowry for the aunt, why does he always say that there is no dowry?"

The old man Xia was also puzzled by their questioning, so he asked Xia Da for a question, Xia Da learned that it was Xia San who said a lot of ugly things in front of him, so he slapped himself, and said in a deep voice: "These are all Zhang Erlang saw that Ji Niang didn't even have a new set of clothes that fit him, so he gave it secretly. Otherwise, with my ability, Ji Niang might not have enough dowry when she gets old! Ji Niang can't even get married with dignity!"

He didn't blame Old Man Xia, let alone Xia Er and Xia San, but his self-blame made Old Man Xia realize that the filial and obedient Xia Da had also played a real role in Xia Jiniang's marriage.

Old man Xia had no choice but to comfort him: "Aren't you blaming me? You are too filial and take good care of your younger brother. If it weren't for my illness, Ji Niang would be able to marry without relying on the Zhang family's support. "

When he said this, Xia Da really couldn't blame others, but as long as Xia Jiniang was married, he no longer had to worry about Xia Jiniang being wronged.He can pin his hopes on Xia Luojin, and when he is a Jinshi, he can also become Xia Jiniang's backing.

After the betrothal ceremony was given, the betrothal gift was given. Zhang He sent the golden bracelet, the golden scorpion and the golden pendant, but Mrs. Liu felt that this was not enough, so she took out her own dowry to buy the golden sleeves, Red silk satin with large sleeves, yellow silk gold skirt, satin red long skirt, scented tea and fruit, reunion cakes, sheep wine, etc.

The gold-studded sleeves and yellow-golden skirt are inlaid with gold, which looks very gorgeous. Zhang He himself has never seen such extravagant clothing and accessories, but she imagines that Xia Jiniang's temperament will change greatly when she wears it. .Besides, the red satin with large sleeves and satin red dress, Xia Jiniang must be very beautiful in it!

Although he didn't understand why the Liu family would suddenly buy these betrothal gifts for her, Zhang He was already so busy with the betrothal gifts that he didn't have time to think about it.

Let's say that Xia Jiniang received these betrothal gifts, so she knew that Zhang He would not have prepared them.Xia Cui asked why?She replied: "The only time she knew about the marriage was when her real cousin was married, but her aunt's family couldn't bring out these valuables. It must be her aunt who arranged them for her."

Xia Cuishi stared at her for a long time, staring at her with fear, and asked, "Mother, why are you looking at me?"

Xia Cuishi sighed: "You know him so well, I'm afraid you already have him in your heart, why didn't you bring it up earlier, you almost missed it!"

Xia Jiniang felt that this was not easy to refute. If she said it was not what she thought, then what was the point of agreeing to this marriage?And she didn't know that she could know Zhang He so well!

Seeing those clothes, Xia Cui liked them very much, and said, "You should look beautiful in them!"

But Xia Jiniang thought of Zhang He. She had never seen Zhang He wearing women's clothing, and she didn't know if she would have the opportunity to see it in the future.

After receiving the betrothal gift, the Xia family had to return the gift. These gifts were also considered as one of Xia Jiniang's dowry. In addition to the cost of clothing and the preparation of more than a dozen items, there were also some belongings for the female workers.

After the wedding ceremony, the marriage between Zhang He and Xia Jiniang was settled, and it was already the first ten days of June.

After the Slight Heat of the June Festival, the weather starts to be hot and enters the summer drought period.

The south is prone to severe drought. If the fields are not looked after for a day or two, the water may dry up.The villagers in Qinghe Village tried every means to carry water for irrigation. Although there were drum carts, the water flow in the Qinghe section of Qinghe Village was not rushing, and hydraulic drum carts were useless.

Fortunately, there are still keel waterwheels. The county official and Zhang Baochang used several keel waterwheels to organize the villagers of Qinghe Village to pull the water from Qinghe into the ditches beside the river, so that the ditches more than one foot wide can be filled with water, so that the fields People who are far away can carry water in ditches for irrigation.

At this time, the fields in Qinghe Village are green and yellow, and the rice is densely packed to the waist, and the field ridges covered with weeds are hidden among them.Many villagers are busy among them, and those who grow other crops besides rice have to carry water for irrigation.

The summer soybeans that Zhang He had planted at the end of April and the autumn eggplants that had been replanted also needed to be watered, and the five acres of radish fields that were going to be planted at the end of the month also had to start accumulating.These three crops were all available in this era. Zhang He's planting did not attract the attention of others, but Kidnap Li, who helped her cultivate, found that Zhang He's seeds had a high germination rate, and there were almost no broken seeds.

Looking at her 55 mu of rice field is still green, but now it is time to dry the fields, and there is no need for water irrigation, but the original water has to be cleared out.

When the county magistrate passed by her rice field, he asked Zhang Baochang, "Why does this family's field grow so slowly?"

Zhang Baochang said: "He only planted it in April, and it is only two months now, so the growth is naturally slow."

The county magistrate said, "I'm not afraid of a bad harvest if I planted so late? Could it be that you didn't urge him to cultivate?"

Supervising taxes and taxes can be regarded as Zhang Baochang's business, but the county officials also have to take care of these things, so that the county lieutenant will not trouble him because of the poor taxation of the people.

Zhang Baochang smiled wryly: "He promises to pay all the taxes, so what can I do to him? After all, his uncle is Zhang Tingxuan."

The county officials were taken aback. These exile officials were very familiar with local officials who were officials in Beijing. Naturally, he also knew Zhang Tingxuan's name. He immediately changed his frowning expression and smiled flatteringly: "I see, Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhang Baochang knew that he was a snobbery, but a small official like the county official was not even an official, and was often looked down upon by the family of high-ranking officials. Why didn't he himself have the same mentality as the county official?

In June, taxes were collected everywhere, and he also went to every house to supervise, but Zhang He was going to have a wedding now, and he was really not sure that Zhang He could pay all the taxes.

But his worries were unnecessary. Zhang He went to the door early to pay the summer tax. She didn't have silk, silk, and cloth, but Zhang Baochang allowed her to convert them into cash and pay them together.After paying the summer tax, Zhang He took the proof, and said again: "The second day of July is my big day, and then I will invite the Baochang to come and have a glass of wedding wine."

Zhang Baochang didn't expect that Zhang He would invite him to a banquet, so he said happily: "Congratulations Zhang Erlang, I will definitely ask for a wedding wine then."

Zhang He reckoned in her heart that the people she invited should be enough, but for the family of the two uncles, she was really debating whether to entertain them or not.
