People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

For five days, Cai Xiaolan didn't even leave the house, and kept herself in the house the whole time. Xu Xiaoqin crossed the window and saw her holding a bamboo pen, standing in front of the table. On the table was a two-foot-square piece of paper, covered with Juanxiu's small characters.

It’s so densely packed that I can’t clearly see what the words are.

"Sister-in-law Xiaolan is so amazing, she can even write good articles!" Xu Xiaoqin couldn't help but sigh.

"Huh, little girl, you've become more powerful. Do you know what a good article is?" Xu Yinlian from the back couldn't help but cursed when she saw her daughter's arrogant look. There have been a lot of things going on at home these days. Xu Yinlian and the other two people did not go to the factory and stayed at home.

"Which one of us will accompany Xiaolan on this long trip?" Jiang Lihua asked.

"How about you go?" Xu Yinlian asked Jiang Lihua again.

Jiang Lihua shook her head. The two women looked at the only male again.

Fengcang shook his head, "I can't go, the carriage shop cannot do without me!" When doing business everywhere, the most inseparable thing from people is the carriage shop. Toyokura's refusal was justified.

At some point, Cai Xiaolan came outside and said, "You don't have to go, I will just take Xiaoqin."

When she said this, her mind was still on the article in the room, her brows furrowed as she considered the words.

This expression frightened the other three adults, and they quickly explained: "Xiaolan, don't be angry, it's not that we value money, but -"

At the word "but", the three of them paused. They were worried about their face and couldn't say anything out loud.

"I know, aren't you all afraid?" Cai Xiaolan doesn't mince words when talking to people close to her.

The three people's faces turned slightly red after being talked about what was on their mind. Especially Xu Xiaoqin was still watching from the side.

When we first went to Lingnan Road, everyone knew that the biggest suffering was just suffering from the environment. Among farmers living in the fields, who is afraid of suffering? But this time they were going to Chang'an, and they were facing all dignitaries. Just thinking about dealing with them made the three of them feel dizzy, let alone go there.

"You stay here to look after the house and follow the plan I set. It can be as short as two months, or as long as -" When it comes to the longest time, Cai Xiaolan is not sure, so she can only conclude: "Anyway, I will be back as soon as possible. .”

Selling cotton, cotton cloth, and picking orchids made a lot of money. Not only did they make up for the 100 taels of Luobao copper coins, but there were still more than 20 taels left. She divided 15 taels of gold from it and gave it to Cheng Mushi, which counted as the first round of investment. Tell the couple everything else.

After returning home, I contacted Fengcang about the cotton planting in Liujiazhuang and asked him to supervise and continue to advance the situation.

Early on the next morning, at dawn, Cai Xiaolan drove a carriage and arrived at the door of the inn with Xu Xiaoqin. The sergeants in the post station were fully equipped, and the leading general looked at Cai Xiaolan's carriage and frowned.

"Didn't I tell you not to bring heavy objects? Why did you prepare a carriage?"

"General, you are kind, but this little girl is not good at riding a horse." Cai Xiaolan replied calmly.

The scene turned silent, and the two vermilion-robed officials opened their mouths slightly, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. They must have considered it, but the person in charge of the team who picked them up obviously didn't realize that there were still people who couldn't ride horses.

Lang Jiang walked at the front of the team without saying a word. The deputy general followed closely behind and shouted, "Let's go!"

The group set off in great force.

……

There is nothing trivial in court. The news of Cai Xiaolan's entry into the court spread like wildfire. Officials from top to bottom knew that a country lady from Yangzhou Prefecture had been summoned by the emperor because of a military uniform. The thoughtful ministers have already sent retainers to Yangzhou Mansion to inquire about the situation and look for opportunities to intervene.

Cui Jijiu's house was very lively, with several visitors arriving at once.

"Brother, your ex-daughter-in-law is so awesome!" Lu Yong took off his official hat, sat on the chair next to Cui Le, and joked.

Cui Le's face was dark. Cui Lu had already made a scene just now. He said he looked down on others, gave blind orders, and drove away such a good daughter-in-law. At this moment, I heard that my brother-in-law was teasing me again, which made me feel even worse.

"That woman disrespects her elders and will only bring disaster if she stays at home. It's not necessarily a blessing or a curse for her to meet the saint." Cui Le said sourly.

"You have a hard heart and a hard mouth!" Lu Yong picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "Your tea is the best. Last month, Master Shangshu took us to Huayan Temple to drink tea. The monks ground the tea leaves into fine powder. , it doesn’t taste as quiet as yours.”

"Humph!"

Cui Jijiu snorted coldly. Wasn't this tea made by Cui Lu who was bored in her spare time and found someone to make it according to the method of picking Xiaolan?
"Master, Yangzhou Governor Lu Qingyun is here to visit." Outside the study, a servant came to report.

"Brother Le, Qingyun must be here to thank you. Your former daughter-in-law has earned No. 1 in the assessment for him. If the family can run it for him again, the future will be bright!" Although Lu Yong and Lu Qingyun do not belong to the same branch, they It’s all in a family tree, and I’m really happy for my cousin.

"Let's go, come with me." After Cui Le finished speaking, he shouted outside, "Hurry up and ask Governor Lu to come to Sheng'en Church, and then go and call Madam here. Tell her that your nephew is here."

The servant followed his instructions and took the guest to the Church of Holy Grace. Before he even reached the door, people in the room came out to greet him.

"Nephew Qingyun, come as soon as you come. What else can you bring?" The guest was Cui Lu. She saw a bunch of gift boxes in the servant's hands at a glance. She understood that her nephew had no other purpose for coming now, but just wanted to Move around more.

"Greetings to my aunt, I haven't seen you for several years, but you are still the same." Lu Qingyun performed a set of etiquette for a junior meeting an elder.

"You're too polite. Come inside quickly. Your uncle is waiting for you inside."

Anyone who can work as an errand in Master Guan's house has a high emotional intelligence. When the servant saw the scene of the guests and hosts enjoying themselves, he understood that the master of the house would definitely invite the guests to dinner, and immediately notified the chef to prepare a dinner.

The Hanlin Academy is a well-known place of cleanliness in the court. The news is polarized. Those who are related to national affairs are extremely well-informed; those who have nothing to do with national affairs are extremely closed-minded. Just now, Cui Boyan heard from the same year who was on duty in the palace that Li Shimin was going to meet the daughter of the people, Cai Xiaolan. The heart that was originally silent in the poetry book suddenly became active.

"Huh? Picking orchids? Cotton cloth?"

These two keywords can basically confirm that the person coming is indeed his ex-wife. He immediately took leave from Shangguan and left the palace. Halfway home, I woke up from a dream.

"What are you going to do when you go home?" Cui Boyan knew in his heart that he who stayed in the Hanlin Academy would always be the last to know such gossip. His parents must have known about it for a long time, but they didn't tell him.

He knew exactly what his parents were thinking.

Thinking of this, he seemed to be like a flying goose lost in the sky and earth, unable to find a place to stay.

"Forget it, I'm not going home, I'm going to have tea outside the building!"

Suddenly I remembered an omission in the previous article, the age of the protagonist was wrongly written. I don't have permission to make changes here, so I need to contact the editor. Correction here, it is 20 years old, not 17 years old.
