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

This year the twelfth lunar month is a small month, with only twenty-eight days.

So Li Hui decided to seal the seal on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month and not open the office until the eighth day of the first lunar month. During this period, people will be arranged to be on duty to prevent temporary situations.

I still remember the scene when Beiqi invaded on New Year's Day last year. One year has passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, the troops stationed in the North did not dare to neglect. Xiao Song almost lived in the military camp. For this reason, Mrs. Xiao complained all kinds of things.

This year, the entire northern city is extremely lively, with red lanterns hanging everywhere. Some stores hang them themselves, and some yamen hang them collectively. Lanterns are also hung in the darker alleys, and the watchman is responsible for lighting candles every night to ensure that the whole city is bright during the Chinese New Year.

This year's salary continuation will be issued on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and everyone from the northern state capital to various officials, down to the Yamen, watchmen, etc., will receive it.

This is much more affordable than the Yamen distributing meat and materials. Everyone can have a good year this year.

Cheng Xue looked at the money Dexi had sent back for her salary extension and ordered someone to leave the job of counting money to her youngest daughter, Li Tian, ​​who was most willing to count the money.

She continued to hold the land deed she had just received and looked at it carefully.

A while ago, Xiao Qinglin wrote a letter saying that she would stay in the capital during the New Year and not come here. He also said that there was a piece of land for sale in Jinzhou and asked her if she wanted it. She had a lot of money in her hands this year, so naturally she would not waste the opportunity to make money by sending it to her door. She immediately sent the reply letter and the banknote to the capital, for fear that she would miss this good opportunity to make money if she was too late.

Jinzhou is very close to the capital, and it is difficult to buy land around the capital. Naturally, the next best thing is to buy land in the state capital near the capital.

Now that one dowry has been settled, another one has to be put on the agenda. For girls, these five things are indispensable: land, shop, house, and money.

Compared with Li Yue, Li Tian's marriage is more difficult to control. So what she can do is prepare enough for her child's dowry. If the day comes that she can't survive, her daughter will not suffer hardship if she has this dowry with her.

"Mom, dad received a total of three hundred and eighty taels of continued salary."

"So many? Are you counting correctly?"

"No." Li Tian smiled and shook his head.

Cheng Xue picked up two ten taels of silver ingots, played with them for a while, and said:

"Bai Wei, take the integers to the warehouse and put the zeros into the box. Take whatever you want."

"Yes, ma'am."

Cheng Xue casually handed the ingot to Li Tian and said:

"One ingot each for your brother and you, money to go out for the Chinese New Year."

The children are getting older day by day and have their own social circles. Although I am given an allowance every month, I spend a lot of money during the Chinese New Year, so I have to give some extra.

Li Tian didn't refuse. After putting it away, he rubbed his mother's arm and said:

"Mom, my little aunt is getting married next year, can we go back?"

"Gotta go back."

"What about my father?"

"He will definitely not be able to go back. When the time comes, Mom will take you back with Si Dan."

"Yeah, okay. I have prepared a six-panel screen for my sister-in-law, I think I can give it to her."

Logically speaking, given Nianzi's background, six screens are a bit out of order. But now Yu Wan's status is different, her brother is in the military camp, and the screen was given by Li Tian, ​​so there is no problem in using it.

"You know this and still ask me, naughty."

Li Tian chuckled "Hehe..." and continued to discuss the details of the New Year celebrations at Jishan Hall with his mother.

After more than half a year, ten children have officially left Jishan Hall. Although they are unable to buy a house for themselves, it is not easy to be self-sufficient and make money to support themselves. What's more, being left behind by the government office, buying a house is only a matter of time.

While we were chatting, there was a sound coming from outside the door——

"The master is back."

The mother and daughter looked at each other, both stunned, then got up and walked towards the door of the house. Li Hui pushed the door open and came in. Seeing his little daughter there, he touched the top of her hair and said:

"Uncle Zhou from Pingyang County has sent a new year's gift. You can take Bai Wei to see it."

"Got it, Dad."

Cheng Xue didn't speak the whole time.

Li Hui waited for the children to leave and closed the door, saying:

"Nanbian Yuxuan wrote to me saying that he had decided to decline the kindness of the Marquis of Zhennan and asked me for my opinion."

"Asking you? How can you give me your opinion on this?"

"That's why I'm coming back to discuss this with you."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Li Hui said. With his dedication and dedication to his job, if it was not a big deal, he would not go home at all during the day. But Cheng Xue has no way to answer this opinion. After all, many things can be mixed in, but some cannot.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Cheng Xue said:

"If you ask me for my opinion, I think you should tell him the two aspects of our analysis last time. Although he should be aware of these analyses, in the end he has to make the decision."

Li Hui was amused by her nonsense literature. He rubbed the top of her hair twice and sat down on the kang.

"I know it's useless to ask you. This is just an introduction. There's something else I need you to come forward with."

Cheng Xue rolled her eyes speechlessly and sat in front of the round table, not wanting to talk to him.

When Mr. Li, who had lost his temper, saw this, he quickly came over with an apologetic smile and said:

"That's right. When Mr. Du saw me today, he wanted to find you to marry his grandson and the Shen girl."

"……what?"

Li Hui nodded and continued with a smile:

"You heard me right, it's a marriage. Shen Jue personally found Mr. Du. The two chatted for a long time. It is said that Shen Xinyi and Du Pingren even met."

"You mean these two children are happy? Du Pingren is willing to wait?"

With Du Pingren's status and status today, there is absolutely no need to wait for a little girl who has not yet had haircuts. To say that the two of them fell in love at first sight is sheer nonsense. After all, neither of them is the kind of person who "takes everything out of the basket".

I'm afraid there is... some hidden secret in this, but they didn't mention it, and it was hard for her to ask.

Cheng Xue thought for a while, nodded, and said:

"I will ask Bai Wei to send a message to the Shen family later. As for the subsequent progress of the two families, it depends on them."

She doesn't like to do things like "keep a matchmaker and stretch women", but they have a good relationship, and it's natural to help them in a timely manner.

If it's just these two things, I think there is no need for Li Hui to come back. Could it be...

"But what's going on in the capital?"

"There are good news, and there are also unknown news. Anyway, listen to it, and we will discuss what to do next. The first one is that Luozi has been elected to the Yulin Guards. The young man is very confident and will report there after the new year. "

Cheng Xue nodded when she heard this, feeling happy for the child and also happy for Guo Dake and his wife.

Although it is clear that the couple will not go to the capital to live with their younger son, if they have a child there, they will go to the capital to stay for a while. Once people go out, their horizons will increase, which is a good thing and a blessing for the couple.

"What else? What is that 'unknown movement' you are talking about?"

"Li Heng accompanied Pang Yao to a villa on the outskirts of Beijing. He saw the pattern of your jade pendant in the late empress's dowry shop next door."
