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

It took seven busy days after moving to the new home before Cheng Xue finally smoothed the whole house.

Without Shunxi, I dare not do anything, but without Bai Shao, I really can't do anything.Fortunately, there is Bai Zhi. She was brought out by Bai Shao himself. It was originally planned to let Baizhu take over Bai Shao's job, but this girl is not the right one. Simply switch the two people and everyone can relax.

After packing up a lot of seasonal materials, Cheng Xue picked out a few pieces of linen with steady colors and said:
"Bai Zhi, give these to Hong Yun later and ask her to bring Hong Xue and Hong Yu to quickly make a few sets of clothes for Master Xin. Ask the eldest lady for the size, she has it."

Bai Zhi nodded and said while packing the ingredients:
"Madam, let's make these goose yellow and apricot pink clothes for the second lady. The second lady has grown taller recently and her sleeves are a little shorter."

Cheng Xue also saw it, but it was not too short, just a small length, and it could still be worn after being dealt with.But she didn't want to wrong her children, and it wasn't like there weren't any at home.

"Okay, you look at the arrangements. Pack up the small clothes for the young lady and the young master in advance, and ask Master Xin to bring them to your father when he returns to the village."

"Okay, ma'am."

The clothes worn by the children at home are all made of good materials. When they were young, they would save them and take them back to the village to give to people they had good relationships with.

For example, Yu Yingjie, Mian Ni, Yun Ni and others.

Many maids and servants have been added to the family, and the training started in Yaxing. Now Tiandong comes to the house to train them personally. There are no rules, but waiting for them closely will have to wait.

"Madam, on the day when Master Xin brings the official matchmaker to propose marriage, will it be just us as a family having dinner, or will Master Xin invite someone else?"

"It's just our family. Just set up two tables. You draw up the recipe first, and then I'll add more as appropriate."

"Yes." Bai Zhi saluted again and followed out of the warehouse.

It has been agreed that the two children will get engaged before the Dragon Boat Festival. As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival is over, Yan Yixin will go to live in Liaodong Mansion to prepare for this year's provincial examination.

The imperial examination has been completely reformed since Li Hui's batch. The once-a-year provincial examination and the biennial joint examination have become a thing of the past.The current provincial examination is once every two years, and the general examination is once every three years. It is said that it will be changed after two more rounds, and it will become the provincial examination once every three years, and the general examination once every five years.And the number of people will also be controlled. In short, it will become more and more difficult to take the exam in the future.

Yan Yixin is not worried. After all, she has gone to the south to practice with Pang Lao and Li Hui, and she has not left her hands on the books in the past two years, so her results will not be bad.On the contrary, Du Pingren and Wang Sen kept standing still.When the northern prefecture was short of scholars, Li Hui wrote to them immediately, but both of them declined on the grounds of "scientific examination" and wondered whether they would be successful this time.

"Mom, come and see what I've done, right?"

Li Tian's clear voice interrupted her thoughts, and looking at the little girl's excited expression, she knew that she must be calculating quickly and well.

Since moving here, she has been keeping all the family accounts, and Li Yue has been busy working on her wedding dress.

The wedding was planned to take place after the provincial examination, so that she could accompany Yan Yixin to the capital for the scientific examination, making it easier to take care of her.The wedding dress is time-consuming and labor-intensive to embroider, and it also has to be done to dress up old clothes.Yi Chengxue went directly to the cloth shop to spend the money, but the little girl insisted on making it herself.

After reading the account book, he nodded slowly and said approvingly:
"Yes, the work is very good. When Qingshui Bank and Shunxing Garden are opened, you will be the one to compile the accounts."

Those who are capable work hard. Since her daughter has this talent, she will give her children more opportunities to show off.

Li Tian was very happy and nodded hurriedly. She liked to hear the crisp sound of the abacus.

Bai Wei brought the hot milk, put it down and said:
"Madam, you don't know. The second lady is very arrogant when she is calculating the calculations. There is a crackling sound, and the servants don't even understand it. They have done the calculations."

"Mom, am I great?"

Seeing the little girl asking for credit, Cheng Xue praised her generously.She has always advocated encouraging education, and Li Tian has indeed done a good job.

"Where is the eldest young master? Are you back?"

"No." Bai Wei shook his head, "Gastrodia asked Da Mao to come back and report that the young master has not been back for the past few days. It seems that there is some training in the military camp."

Cheng Xue knew what was going on as soon as she heard it and stopped asking any more questions. "The young master went back to his room after practicing his calligraphy. The slave was preparing to wash up when he delivered the milk."

Now that Li Huai has his own courtyard, except for breakfast and dinner, he can hardly see him at other times.During the day, he studied in school, and when he took a bath, he went out to play with the children of Mou Haibin and Shen Jue's family.When it was time to have fun, she and Li Hui were not restrained.As long as you don't invite disaster or cause trouble, you can just play. After all, you are still young.

The door of the room opened, and Hong Lian and Hong Rong came in with hot water. Li Tian sensibly put away the account books, abacus, pen and ink, etc., and went to the ground to put on shoes.

The two of them preparing water meant that Li Hui was coming back.

Su Zhen is a person who enjoys herself. There is a small bathroom at the end of the house, which is convenient for calling for water at night.

When Li Tian walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he saw his father and ran into his arms——

"Dad, you're back!"

The little girl's crisp voice drove away the fatigue of the day. Li Hui hugged the little cotton-padded jacket in his arms and said "hmm" and asked:
"How is your accounting today? Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, I've already mastered it. My mother praised me for memorizing it well, and said that she would also give me the account books of Qingshui Bank and Shunxingyuan."

Seeing her excited face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Okay, my daughter is really awesome, keep it up."

Li Tian nodded heavily, stood firm on the ground and said:
"I'm going back first, Dad. You and Mom should rest early."

"Okay, you go to bed early, too."

"understood."

Looking at the backs of his son and daughter and Baizhu, Li Hui breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and entered the house.

Hot water was ready, and Li Hui went into the inner room to take a shower and change clothes.When he came out, they were the only couple in the room, and there was a steaming bowl of large wontons on the Kang table.

"You're getting later every day. It's bad for your stomach to be so hungry all the time."

Li Hui nodded, took a sip of wonton soup and said:

"I've asked Mou Haibin to do it. We plan to add a canteen so that everyone doesn't have to bring food at noon. It's getting hotter day by day and the food is prone to sourness."

There has been a lot going on in the Yamen recently, especially the four counties that were just taken back.After two months of running-in, conflicts and frictions gradually emerged. Although it was expected, the counties still did not pay attention to methods in handling it, resulting in a lot of troubles.

When Cheng Xue heard this, she knew that he had to be busy recently.

"Is there money to build an additional canteen? The court has not yet clarified the debt owed?"

"No." Li Hui shook his head, "I guess it will depend on the situation after the autumn harvest. If there is money for adding a canteen, it will come from the salary continuation."

"What about the cooks? Are they hired from outside?"

"Instead of hiring from outside, I plan to find a daughter-in-law who lives an average life in the government office. They can take away the leftovers and give them another [-] wages per month. I have done lunch and dinner recently, and only lunch after I finish my work. A meal.”

If you want the people under your control to be clean, you must first protect their lives.

If you are not satisfied with food and clothing, you will naturally have to find ways to make money. It is human nature... (End of Chapter)
