Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Mo Ran stopped Qin Liu who was hurriedly packing his luggage and tried to dissuade her: "Girl, girl, it's extremely cold in Yuquanying. It is said that the water from the dug wells is bitter and astringent, making it undrinkable. There is only one well whose water is barely drinkable." , that’s why it’s called Yuquanying… It’s really not suitable for a woman’s family to live in…”

Qin Liu avoided Mo Ran and continued to pack his belongings: "Who said I have to go to Yuquanying? Isn't it the same as finding a stable town or county to live nearby? Sister Mo Ran, you watched me play with Guangsi and Yongxiu for a long time. Brother Yongxiu has traveled thousands of miles to Yuquan Camp, how can I not rush there because of the hardship? You don’t need to follow me on this trip, I can just go by myself."

As soon as he said this, Mo Ran couldn't stop him anymore, otherwise it would be because he was afraid of hardship and prevented his master from going out.

Mo Ran sighed and went out to find his husband to discuss countermeasures.

The next day, Qin Liu had already got on the carriage and set off. Except for the woman who was cooking and stayed behind to look after the door, the rest of them all followed Qin Liu and set off towards Yuquanying.The housekeeper Ding Jicheng took the lead and rode to the vicinity of Yuquanying to find a place to stay.

Qin Liu had to sigh that the servants of wealthy families were really well-trained, organized and highly motivated.

She just gave a red envelope during the Chinese New Year, and distributed monthly money to these servants on time. All things at home were arranged clearly, and the accounts were clear, true and trustworthy.

Qin Liu had opened a shop and had done business. She was good at comparing money and money. She could tell the prices of grains, oils, rice and noodles by going to the market. If there was any fraud in the accounts, she could tell at a glance.

What Qin Liu didn't know was that the servants who could survive the Liu family, which had strict family laws and a clean and noble family style, would have a sense of pride in their hearts. Even if they were busy with daily trivial matters, they still had a sense of integrity in their hearts.

The carriage traveled day and night for several days and arrived at Anhua County, Qingyang Prefecture.The housekeeper Ding Jicheng rented a house in Anhua and has already cleaned it. Qin Liu and others can move in directly.

Looking at the newly bought pot lids and pots and pans in the house, Qin Liu felt strange in her heart. She picked up a teacup and asked: "How far is this Anhua County from Yuquanying?"

Ding Jicheng looked embarrassed and said: "There are still eight hundred miles of land."

Qin Liu looked at Ding Jicheng with cold eyes.

Butler Ding is so brave!He clearly said he was going to Yuquanying, but he made the decision and placed himself in Anhua County!
How long has it been since you started to be your own master?
Ding Jicheng felt his throat was dry.He half-bowed and explained with sincerity: "Girl, there is Lingzhou seven hundred miles to the north, but it is a bitter and cold place on the border. Girls are rich and should not take risks. Even if you want to reunite with old friends, you can still choose Here in Anhua County, which is much safer.”

Qin Liu loosened his fingers and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"I don't care, I will leave for Lingzhou tomorrow!"

"No, girl!" Ding Jicheng hurriedly took a few steps and knelt in front of Qin Liu, blocking her way. He had the aura of never giving up until he achieved his goal.

Qin Liu shouted angrily: "Wang Wu, Li Liu, come and drag him down!"

Wang Wu and Li Liu were her two bodyguards. They followed Qin Liu's orders and entered the house, but they were hesitant and unsure whether to attack Ding Jicheng.

Ding Jicheng, who was kneeling, turned around and cursed: "What are you doing standing still? How dare you not listen to what the girl says?!"

Wang Wu and Li Liu twisted Ding Jicheng out of the house in despair.

Qin Liu looked at this farce dumbfounded. This Ding Jicheng is really a weirdo!
After a while, Mo Ran, who was busy on the stove, came into the room to comfort Qin Liu: "Girl, don't be angry about my stubborn donkey. He just accepts death and doesn't know what his identity is. In the early years, he followed Uncle Cheng En After a few years, the boy will recognize a few words and treat himself as a green onion. I will go back and scold him in the evening, and tomorrow I will definitely come over and kowtow to the girl to admit my mistake!"

The uncle refers to Liu Xuejiang’s eldest cousin Liu Chengen.To be able to work as a servant with Liu Jian's eldest grandson, Ding Jicheng must be something special.

The depression in Qin Liu's heart dissipated a lot.

Qin Liu chuckled. "Is Butler Ding a henpecked person?"

Mo Ran smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm not afraid of girls' jokes. My stubborn ass can help me with small matters, but if it's a big matter, he can make up his mind better than anyone else!"

Back then, Mrs. Hu's wife was seriously ill. The eldest wife was so worried that she wanted to send someone back to Qin'an County to take care of her. Everyone else hid behind her, for fear that it would happen to her.

Uncle Cheng En was preparing for the provincial examination at that time, so he planned to give up the examination and go to Qin'an to fulfill his filial piety on behalf of his mother.It was my stubborn donkey who kowtowed to stop the uncle, saying that he would go and serve the old lady wholeheartedly if he went to take a trip for the uncle.After returning to Qin'an, he never mentioned returning to the capital again. "

Qin Liu was curious: "Why doesn't he come back to the capital anymore?"

"The old lady of the Hu family has been in bed for several years, and she has to worry about sending doctors and asking for medicine. The uncle of the Hu family is working as an official away from home, and there is no one in charge of the family, so he cannot do without him. After taking the provincial examination, uncle Cheng En went to Qin'an to visit relatives, and he was also needed. Zhang Luo. Besides, if he leaves, Uncle Cheng En will have a new servant to replace him, so it will be unnecessary for him to return to the capital."

"How can it be redundant?"

Mo Ran didn't say anything anymore, he just tidied up the room and went to the stove to prepare meals.

Qin Liu understood that his last question was a bit redundant.

There are countless people who want to take the position of the servant next to the eldest grandson of the chief minister. The competition must be fierce.Ding Jicheng was open-minded.

Thinking of his cousin Liu Chengen, Qin Liu's heart ached.

The young man risked his life to escort his cousin Liu Xuejiang out of the sea of ​​​​fire, and this was how Qin Liu traveled through time.

This passionate passion for self-sacrifice made Qin Liu full of admiration and adoration for the cousin he had never met.

Now that the man has passed away, Qin Liu is a little more tolerant and generous to cousin Cheng En's former servant.

Early the next morning, Ding Jicheng came in with a gloomy face and kowtowed to Qin Liu to admit his mistake.

Qin Liu waved his hand and asked Ding Jicheng to get up: "Steward Ding, what you said is true. Lingzhou is close to the grassland border and is much more dangerous. I still can't go there. Please send a letter to cousin Guangsi. He said that I am in Anhua, and if he has time, he can come to Anhua for a small gathering."

Ding Jicheng was overjoyed: "Young lady is wise! So good, so good!"

"What are the characteristics of Anhua County?"

"Anhua County is the seat of Qingyang Prefecture, and the palace of King Anhua is also in the county. It is known as the "Granary of Longdong." Prairie people often invade the Huamachi near Lingzhou, and come to Anhua to wreak havoc. It’s not much, but it’s still a safe place.”

Qin Liu was curious: "Where is Huamachi?"

"Huamachi is the largest salt production area in Dusi, Shaanxi Province. The salt is regularly sold in northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, and even reaches prefectures and counties in Hanzhong Prefecture, Ningxia, and eastern Longxi. Since the Tianshun Year, the salt there has brought back many healthy Xixia Horses. When the grassland Tatars are short of salt, they often come to Huamachi to invade."

salt lake!

That's a treasure trove!
Qin Liu was almost crying. (End of chapter)
