Jiang Jingzhi looked at Ye Mingze's profile, and slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was time to turn on the lights.Ye Mingze opened his eyes and found that Jiang Jingzhi was leaning on the kang, looking at him with a smile.

"Are you awake? If you don't wake up, you will miss your meal."

"Isn't it you? Even if I really missed it, wouldn't you save me a meal?" Ye Mingze stood up, pulled Jiang Jingzhi close, and kissed him lightly.He didn't miss Jiang Jingzhi's startled eyes at that moment.

"What, still reminiscing? Then do it again?" Seeing that he was still in a daze, Ye Mingze made a gesture to do it again.

Jiang Jingzhi quickly pushed his head away: "Hurry up, there seems to be a small banquet tonight, and you, one of the protagonists, cannot be absent."

Except for formal occasions, Ye Mingze seldom wears gowns. He usually wears close-fitting bunts.Jiang Jingzhi is just the opposite. After all, he has worn it for 18 years, and he doesn't want to change it without special circumstances.

Jiang Jingzhi is still recovering from illness, unless necessary, he will not appear at the Ye family's dinner, and today is no exception.

In fact, Jiang Jingzhi stayed in Ye's house for several months, so his sense of presence is really not strong.Most of the time, he stayed quietly in his room reading a book.Occasionally, accompanied by Ye Mingze, he walked around the village.He really doesn't have many opportunities to get along with the rest of the Ye family.

After Ye Mingze finished packing, he strode into the main room.Jiang Jingzhi began to eat on time. He saw that the dishes were very rich, but the taste was not very good. After all, most of the dishes were filled with medicinal materials. This is different from the medicinal diet that everyone can eat. Some of them taste very strange.

Sure enough, as Jiang Jingzhi said, there will be a small banquet in the evening.When Ye Mingze arrived, there were already many people sitting in the main room, including his grandfather, two younger brothers, the village chief and the patriarch.A few old people sat at a table, but Ye Zequan was the center of the topic.Seeing Ye Mingze come in, he greeted him cheerfully.

"Mingze, come, come and sit here." The patriarch motioned for him to take the empty seat next to him.Usually, he is a junior, how can he get this kind of treatment.

Ye Mingze was not in a hurry to take a seat, and first refilled tea for the elders one by one.

"Brother, why did our family's Feng Shui come to you?" Second Grandpa used to joke.

Third Grandpa: "Brother's home is all right, why don't we leave it alone?"

Don't look at the fact that the three grandpa brothers don't have much contact with each other, but the relationship is there!

According to the grandfather's way of life, there can be conflicts between sisters-in-law, but brothers have to break the bones and connect the tendons.The decades of brotherhood no longer need to be maintained by frequent walking.When I have nothing to do, I am busy with my own business. When I have something to do, I will naturally think of my brother.

"It's hard to say now. It doesn't matter if a person wants to be an official, it's difficult! If you continue to take the exam, judging from the current results of the two of them, it's very slim to think of getting a Jinshi in one pass." Grandpa paused, "Just now, all Discuss with me that next year Chunwei is not sure, so he will not go. In the next three years, we will get married first, and then see if there is a chance to be appointed. Mingze, I haven't asked you yet, what are your plans? "

"Grandpa, I don't take the exam this time either, I'm not sure, wait until next time."

"Well, fine. You two can handle it yourself, we old men don't know much about it."

After a while, the food was on the table, and everyone let go of their stomachs to eat and drink.

After drinking for three rounds, the topic became irrelevant, everyone was full and slowly dispersed.

Ye Mingze drank a lot of wine, his face was slightly drunk, and his steps were a little messy.Hearing the sound, Jiang Jingzhi opened the door, stepped forward to support him, and fed him hangover soup. This was prepared by Qin's mother earlier, and it had been warming on the stove.

"Why do you drink so much? It's not the way to drink."

"Didn't you take care of me when I was drunk?" Ye Mingze was still sane.

Jiang Jingzhi stopped talking to him, helped him wash up, and went to bed.

The next morning, Ye Mingze planned to go to see the harvest of Jiang Jingzhi's dowry field.Both sweet potatoes and wheat are harvested, potatoes are being harvested these days.

In the cellar of Jiang's house, bags of wheat are neatly stacked, and sweet potatoes are piled directly in the corner.Ye Mingze also saw some peanuts piled up in a mess.Peanut clothes can replenish blood, and it will be good for Jiang Jingzhi to eat more peanuts in the future.

At the beginning, when Jiang Jingzhi bought the land, the spring sowing was basically over. Anyway, when the land was in his hands, all [-] mu of land had been planted with crops.At that time, Uncle Zhang was in charge of all these things, so Ye Mingze didn't ask any more questions, so that he only now knew that there were many kinds of things planted in the field.

Peanuts, soybeans, mung beans and red beans, and even an acre of cotton.The light intensity here will be enough for the growth of cotton, so the output is not high, and few people in Yejia Village plant it.

An acre of cotton can always yield a hundred catties again, right?Just put new quilts on the family.Ye Mingze didn't regard his wife as an outsider, nor did he have the concept of shameful use of a daughter-in-law's dowry.From the day they got married, the two of them were one.When he was not capable, he had no pressure to spend his wife's money.

The fields were harvested, and he had no intention of selling them at all.In ancient times, the grain output was not high. This year, there was a drought, and the grain harvest was even less.Here, when there is a famine, there is no money to buy food, so it is better to store more food to be at ease.

In ancient times, security was indeed not high, so every household had the habit of storing food.

This year, only 800 catties of wheat were harvested from ten acres of top-grade fields, which fit into eighteen bags, and it was only a small pile.Sweet potatoes can harvest almost 350 catties per mu, and the production reduction is not much.

After reading it, Ye Mingze became concerned.Jiang Jingzhi had no objection. He was a young master, and he was trained in the officialdom at that time. He didn't control the land and shops. He had never contacted him, so how could he make any valuable suggestions.

Since the grain harvest cannot be sold in a short period of time, the two of them have no source of income.Ye Mingze remembered that he still had 300 taels of silver in his hand, and he didn't have time to tell Jiang Jingzhi yesterday in a hurry, so it's not too late to say it now.

The two discussed it for a while, and finally decided to buy a boat according to the original plan. It doesn't need to be too big. Of course, they can't afford a big boat.

After returning home, Ye Mingze found his father: "Father, where can I buy fishing boats?"

"Who's going to buy a boat?"

"Your daughter-in-law."

"How big do you want to buy?"

"With a budget of 200 taels, you can buy as much as you can." Ye Mingze can only take out so much, and with the remaining 100 taels, he can buy some land or forests.

"Okay, I'll take care of this, don't worry about it." Father Ye decisively took over the matter of buying the boat, "I bought the boat, who will use it?"

"Didn't Jingzhi have a dozen servants? I lead the team during the slack season and let them follow the boat."

"It's all over. I don't feel at ease if you go to sea, let alone your mother." Father Ye objected.

"Father, you may die if you fall down. What can guarantee absolute safety? How about this, dad, I will go out to sea with you a few times at that time."

"Okay, the eagle will always fly when it grows up, your mother, you can tell it yourself."

"Oh, I see."

Ye Mingze went back to the house and took out the ring box.I was so busy yesterday that I forgot that the gifts that Fucheng brought hadn't been distributed yet.

"Respect, this is for you." Ye Mingze took out the silver ring engraved with the word 'Ze' and put it on Jiang Jingzhi's left ring finger.He took another one himself and asked Jiang Jingzhi to help him wear it in the same place.

The pair of rings looked the same at first glance, and Jiang Jingzhi could guess the general meaning without Ye Mingze's explanation.

The ring is simple and elegant, and it is very beautiful to wear on the hand.The corners of Jiang Jingzhi's mouth curled into a bigger arc, it seems that he is not alone.

"How about it, are you satisfied?"

"You have a thick skin. I really don't know how my mother-in-law gave birth to a son like you. Could it be picked?" Jiang Jingzhi responded appropriately.

"Yo, it's terrible, my mouth has become sharper."

"You are poor!"

"Okay, I won't talk to you. I walked around just now, are you tired? Why don't you take a break first, and I'll deal with the presents."

"Okay, go on your own, don't worry about me."

It's already half-morning, and Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang are not here.

"Little sister, have you made up the rest of the net?"

"Well, it's almost done. There's one more kind left. It should be finished this month." Ye Liu is usually very busy and doesn't have so much time to do embroidery work. In addition, there are only patterns and no finished products, so it is very difficult to weave.Therefore, several months have passed, and not all of them have been compiled.

"Here, these are for you little girls. You choose a few, and you take the rest to my sister-in-law and a few cousins."

"Brother, you're so kind!" Ye Liu was very excited when she saw a pile of colorful head flowers.

After a busy day, all the presents that should be given have been sent out by the evening.Although the gift is not worth much, the person who receives the gift is still very happy.

Ye Mingze also gave the two younger brothers Mingxi and Mingjiang an extra tael of silver as pocket money.The girl in the family can embroider and tie nets to earn private money, but the boy is almost empty-handed.

"Wow, big brother, are you really giving this to me?" Ye Mingxi has never taken any money since he grew up so big.

"It's all in your hands, how can there be a fake?" Ye Mingze looked at his second brother with disgust.

"Brother, thank you." Ye Mingjiang, the third younger brother who usually talks less and is very steady, is a little excited at this time.

"They're all brothers, so don't thank them."

The two of them were having fun with the money, Ye Mingze really couldn't see it, so he went back to the room to find Jiang Jingzhi's tenderness.

"Is the money still enough?" Ye Mingze saw that Jiang Jingzhi ate the medicinal food specially prepared for him by the doctor for several months, and it seemed that the expenses were not small.

"Well, it's enough for now. I'll ask you for money. It's only natural for a husband to support his wife. I won't be embarrassed."

"What should I do, you are getting worse and worse?" Ye Mingze pretended to be angry.

"What else can I do? Let's just make do with it." Jiang Jingzhi himself felt that his mouth became more and more fierce. It was really red when he was close to the vermilion, and black when he was close to the ink. He still wanted to talk about himself.

Since the consummation of the wedding night in the bridal chamber, the two have not had a husband and wife behavior.Ye Mingze was a little moved, but he still held back.Wait for another month, when Jiang Jingzhi recovers, he will come to clean him up again.
