April 28 is an auspicious day, everything is suitable.

In the morning, Li Hui asked for leave and stayed at home, waiting for Yan Yixin to bring the matchmaker.

Normally, Xiao Ding only needs four kinds of gifts, but Li Yue is the daughter of the governor, and Yan Yixin is reluctant to wrong her, so he prepares ten kinds.

I specially found a matchmaker surnamed Li. This person was really eloquent. There was nothing but laughter in the room, and there was no silence at all.

As soon as the two children finished their meeting, Li Hui hurried to the Yamen.

Matchmaker Li is an official matchmaker registered with the government office. She knows what is going on in the state government recently, and she sighed deeply when she saw this.

"Since Mr. Li came to the north, our life has been better than before, but the Wutanxia people are really dissatisfied. Oh, it's the slave family who has overstepped their bounds. Don't talk about this, don't talk about this. Mrs. Li, what are you looking at? Is it appropriate to appoint him? Yan Xiucai means that he plans to go on the fourth day of May, before he leaves for Liaodong."

"Okay, just do as Yixin said."

"Okay, okay, then we'll come back on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

This marriage is the icing on the cake for Matchmaker Li. The two families have decided in private, so there is no pressure at all.

After lunch, Yan Yixin went to the room with Li Heng and Li Huai to chat.

Matchmaker Li looked at the backs of sisters Li Yue and asked:
"Mrs. Li, how old is your little daughter this year? After all, we are also from the same family, and this second young lady's marriage..."

"She's still young, I have to stay for a few more years." Cheng Xue interrupted her directly, "What did you mean when you said Wutanxia was not satisfied?"

At this moment, there were only the two of them and Bai Wei in the room, and it was a good time to learn about the situation outside from the people's mouths.

When Matchmaker Li saw her taking the initiative to ask, she didn't hide her answer:
"Since Mrs. Li asked, the slave family will not hide it. These four counties seem to belong to us, Liangyan, but in fact the people are exclusive. The people here can't help Mr. Li with big things, but here we can't help with the marriage of women. I can take the initiative to help, but when people propose marriage, they don’t even consider our side. It’s really shameless.”

Cheng Xue understood her anger and felt sorry for the people's sacrifice.

"Since they are in a hurry and don't know how to do business, we don't have to think about it when we get married. Apart from the marriage, are there any conflicts?"

"Yes. After all, the name 'Bei Mengzi' is not for nothing. There are many people there. But fortunately, our government officials and patrols are very good, so we didn't cause any big trouble."

Cheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As for the petty frictions, these are definitely inevitable.There will be wars between villages over a well and a small river, not to mention that the people of the two dynasties wanted them to forcibly integrate.

"How's the Blacksmith Village? Is there anyone over there who's looking for you to be a matchmaker?"

"Yes, yes, quite a few. There are a lot of men and women. I've said there are five pairs in the past few days."

"Yeah, that's really good." Cheng Xue nodded with a smile and chatted with her.

Matchmaker Li is a talkative person. After lunch, she stayed here chatting with Cheng Xue for a full hour before going back.

Of course, Cheng Xue didn't treat her badly. She asked Bai Wei to wrap a red envelope and gave her two pieces of brightly colored material.The official media here is similar to what they see on TV. The clothes they wore when they were talking about getting married were very flashy, and they even had to wear big red silk flowers on their temples...

……

Around the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the best time to nibble green corn.

Li Hui kept busy with the day. On the morning of the second day of May, he finished all the things at hand and asked Dexi to go back to pick up his wife and daughter. He also asked Shen Jue and the others to get ready and wait to go to the experimental field in the north.

The original northern defense line had been moved to the Wadalu side. After the demolition of this area, a large open space was left, and Li Hui used it as a test field to grow corn.After adding enough chemical fertilizers, I came here to check every day in the early stage. Now the corn stalks are growing very well, just to see how the grain filling is going.

A group of people and five cars left the city in a mighty manner.

This is the top priority of the northern state capital this year, and every official and cadre pays special attention to it.Li Heng, Yan Yixin, and Li Huai were riding horses outside, while Li Hui and his wife took Li Tian in the carriage.Li Yue didn't come over, so it would be inconvenient to go out after the engagement, not to mention that Yan Yixin was still here today.

Talking and laughing along the way, Li Tian acted coquettishly and begged his father for a horse more than once.

The thing about "eye connection" is really wonderful. The relationship between Cheng Xue and Xiao's mother is average, but Xiao's mother likes Li Huai very much.The Li family all know how to ride horses, so Li Huai muttered something to Xiao's mother, and the next day he sent a three-month-old colt, and it was also a purebred Beiqi war horse.

Of the four cities recovered, except for Wutanxia, ​​which was dominated by cattle and sheep, the other three were all famous for their horses.Now the war horses stationed in the northern military camp have all been replaced, and they are slowly being transported to the northwest, southeast and other places.

"...Oh dad, please don't do it. I also want a horse, a white one with no stray hairs at all, okay?"

When his ten-year-old daughter held her arms and acted coquettishly, Li Hui felt as if he had picked her up and was very happy.

After enjoying enough, he nodded and said calmly:
"Okay, okay, dad, I promise, I promise you!"

"Really? Dad, you are so kind. Damn—"

Li Hui noticed the wetness on the left side of his face, shook his head in amusement and said:

"It's true. Dad has already said hello to your Uncle Xiao. He wants two fine horses as dowries for you and your sister."

"Okay, the dowry is good, the dowry is good." Li Tian nodded shamelessly.

Regardless of whether it's because of the dowry or something else, getting the horse is the way to go.

Cheng Xue looked at the little girl's appearance, poked her forehead lightly, and said "shameless".

Half an hour later, they arrived at the experimental field on the outskirts of the city. Everyone got out of the car and saw a large green cornfield in front of them, which was pleasant to look at.

Cheng Xue led Li Yue and walked forward, staying away from Li Hui and the others. After all, they were here for work and they couldn't be disturbed.

Just pick any corn in the field, crush it with your fingernails, and it will become pulpy instantly.

"Mom, it's boiling white. Is it healed?"

Cheng Xue nodded, then selected another ear and used her nails to crush the grains, which also became pulpy instantly.

"Tell your father that the crops are ready to be eaten green."

"Okay." After Li Tian agreed, he quickly walked over there to find his father.

This means there are outsiders. If Shen Jue and the others are not here, the little girl will definitely run away.

Cheng Xue walked from the end of the field to the end, and then from the east to the west.

So far, the weather has been relatively normal, so the corn, which has been carefully cared for, is growing very well.

The Yamen started to break the corn, and Li Heng led his sister over and said:
"Mom, my dad asked us to take some back and give some to Uncle Xiao on the way."

"understood."

After saying that, Cheng Xue went straight to breaking the corn.I haven’t done this job for a long time, and I didn’t expect that I was quite proficient at it.

Li Heng's brother and sister didn't watch the fun and followed her example in breaking corn.He broke off three bags in one breath, cut off the corn stalks and fed them directly to the horse.

Just when Dexi and others thought that the horses could not eat, they did not expect that several horses feasted on the food and even started to fight over it... (End of this chapter)
