Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

Chapter 377
The Dong and Yu families made a quick engagement the day before Li Hui's departure.

It was organized by Yu Zhao's family, and the Dong family hired a matchmaker.If the marriage is agreed upon in advance, the matchmaker will go through the motions and say a few beautiful words as the icing on the cake.

Mrs. Xu went to the town to purchase the small wedding ceremony. There were six items in total, and she was extremely cautious.

A large dark red tray was covered with plain satin. On the plain satin were placed a pair of small red gold phoenix hairpins and a pair of red gold rings. Each one was very heavy.A pair of gilt hollow bracelets. Although they are hollow, they feel heavy to the touch.Four pieces of fine material, and a pair of gold-reduced silver hanging from the handkerchief.

The matchmaker not only praised the two children, but also praised the betrothal gift.It's not that I've never seen a betrothal gift heavier than this, but it's really rare to see someone willing to spend 50 to [-] taels of silver on it in a farmhouse.

"...Old sister-in-law, you are so lucky. Look at this in-laws family, how much they value our daughter, I will never tell you in the future."

As soon as the matchmaker finished speaking, Mrs. Xu called Yu Wan to her and picked up a small phoenix hairpin and put it on her.

He looked around and praised it for its beauty.

Yu Wan lowered his head because of shyness, but Zhu Zhu was just silly when he saw it.

"Don't worry, in-laws. When my sister comes over in the evening, I will treat her as my own daughter, and I will definitely not wrong her."

"...Ah, good, good."

Xu can switch identities easily, but Liu is a bit slow.

When a woman gets married, it is like being reincarnated for the second time.If you marry well, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and be safe and smooth for the rest of your life.If you don't marry well, you will have to struggle.Although Liang Yan does not interfere with the marriage of men and women, whoever gets engaged or gets married does not just run away and leave.

Fortunately, the Dong family knows everything about him, and since Yu Zhao lives here, he will definitely be able to take care of her in the future.

After the engagement ceremony was completed, Yu Niang brought the dishes into the house. There were tables in the east and west rooms, including meat and vegetables, meat and fish.

The matchmaker was very busy during the dinner, picking up vegetables and serving soup, and she did not forget to talk to adjust the atmosphere.Cheng Xue watched from the sidelines, admiring this ancient big shrine cow in her heart.To be honest, she is an outsider, but she can close the distance with her in just a few words, and she talks a lot, so she doesn't annoy anyone if she talks too much.

After the engagement banquet, Li Hui ordered people to load the car and set off under the moon.I could foresee the farewell scene tomorrow morning, so in order not to disturb the whole army, I decided to go to Yujiatun first and head north from there.It just so happened that Yuhuai and the others had to go back, and it was time to plant Dongzi vegetables.

Jia Ning and Jia An stayed at home temporarily and were taken care of by Li Zhong and his wife.After recovering, it is up to the two children to choose whether to go to the north or stay in the village.The fields and real estate left by Master Jia during his lifetime were all taken back and sold by Tiandong, and Jia Ning took the money.As for the other three brothers...it's good to find them, but there's nothing you can do if you can't find them. After all, your abilities are limited.

After resting briefly at Yu's house for half the night, we transferred the carriage to continue heading north.

The further north you go, the cooler the temperature becomes. Before entering the northern state capital, the family has already put on thick cotton clothes, a full month earlier than in Wanghe Village.

After dinner that day, Li Hui sat on the kang and studied the map.

Cheng Xue came back after washing up. Seeing that he was still in that posture, she came forward and asked:
"What are you looking at? So entranced?"

Li Hui didn't raise his head, stretched out his arms to hug the person, and said:

"I want to take a new route to the Beijing Government Office, but it's a little detoured."

"What, are you planning to inspect the public sentiment in advance?"

"Absolutely." Li Hui nodded and placed his chin naturally on her neck. "There is not much to see at the inn on Zhuguan Road. If you want to get the truest understanding of the situation, you still have to walk these trails. But it will be hard work. Your living conditions must not be good." Cheng Xue looked at the map while listening. Although the northern state capital is not as big as Liaodong, it is not small in area.Rugged mountain roads, long winding trails...

"That's okay, as long as it doesn't delay your succession." Cheng Xue reminded.

Li Hui received support and went to the ground to put on shoes and start making arrangements.On the road again the next day, the convoy was divided into two groups. One group was Li Hui and his family.The other group, Shunxi and Shuangxi, took Tianma and the others to drive to Beijingfu Yamen first.

Sure enough, after changing the route, the official road became more and more difficult to walk, and the accommodation conditions at the inn became more and more difficult.Several of the inns lacked even the most basic food supplies.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still caught off guard when I faced it.

Li Hui felt sorry for his wife and children, and once again asked Cheng Xue to take the children back to the village.But this time Cheng Xue didn't need to speak, the children all shook their heads.

"Dad originally said that no matter where we go, the whole family stays together and never separates. How can he not keep his words?"

"That's right, Dad, what you're doing is wrong."

Li Hui looked at Li Tian and Li Heng who expressed their opinions excitedly, knowing that his love for them was not in vain.

"Good boy, dad knows that you are sensible, but the conditions will be more difficult in the future, and dad is reluctant to bear the hardship for you. This station is currently short of food, who knows what the next station will be short of!"

"Whatever is missing, just make up for it." Li Huai responded crisply, and then Cheng Xue added, "Mom, help me mix some eggplant, it's really delicious."

A strong mouth is Li Huai's advantage.No matter what dish he makes, as long as it's salty and salty just right, he can make a small bowl of it.It's a good thing that I can eat, otherwise it would be weird not to get sick if I was traveling so hard.

Li Yue helped put the eggplant into his brother's bowl and said softly:
"Dad feels sorry for our brothers and sisters, and we naturally feel sorry for him too. Not to mention that my mother doesn't agree with letting dad live alone in the north, even the rest of us are worried. Although there isn't much we can do, at least we can ensure that dad If you can eat something hot, your house will be warm when you get home."

"Yes, uncle, just listen to Tangtang."

Li Hui looked at Cheng Xue, who had been silent, knowing that he was angry again.He put some food into her bowl, and when she was satisfied, she got an eye roll, and she felt completely relaxed.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Dad won't mention it anymore from now on."

Children's emotions come and go quickly.When their father refused to send them away, they continued to eat while talking and laughing.

There was nothing to say all night, and we continued on our way the next day.

Just as Li Hui expected, the closer to the northern state capital, the more things the post station lacked. In the end, even basic firewood was insufficient, which annoyed him.

Yi Cheng also knew that he would not be able to escape the lesson today, so he simply broke the jar, took the account book of the Yi Station, and said frankly:

"These are all the account books that the villain has managed for the past eight years. Please take a look at them."

"Eight years? Just one book?" Li Hui wanted to curse.

Yi Cheng nodded, looked directly into his eyes, and said firmly:
"It's normal for adults not to believe it. After all, there has only been one account book for eight years. No one can trust it. But the villain didn't lie. There has been no caravan staying at this inn since the villain took it over. Naturally, if there is no check-in, there will be no accounts, even The villain's salary has been in arrears for two years, the county government has long since taken away the petty officials, and the post station cannot afford to hire laborers, so naturally there is no one to collect firewood."
