The skilled widow is busy farming

Mrs. Xu also likes Qun Ge very much. He is protected by his uncle and his uncle who is a third-grade official. He does not need to be too aggressive, as long as he walks steadily without being stupid or pretentious, it is enough.

Because of this understanding, Li Qun neither fights for power nor fights for class power. He is not a scheming child. He is tolerant and tolerant of his brothers and sisters. He has a strong backbone and is very stable.

It has to be said that Xiu Niang calmly chose a very stable and upright path for her son. With Li Heng, Li Jing, and Li Rui having a good future ahead of them, the son of the Li family still had to carry Li Qun and Brother Chun with him. A child who will protect them for the rest of their lives.

This kind of stability is what the Xu family needs most. Our family doesn't need a wolf, it just needs to be stable and upright. The vision and strategy of the aristocratic family should not be underestimated. Each family's situation is different and the path they take is different.

Nobles like the Xu family, who have been passed down for generations, have seen too many ups and downs. What they want is stability and peace, and this wealth is indispensable for their own family.

The people looking at people through the cracks in the door are all new members of the family, and their eyes are a bit shallow. No first-class family will do this. They will not show face to you until the last moment, but they will still save some face for you. 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Who knows what will happen in the future.

After repeated discussions with her husband, Mrs. Xu finally decided on this marriage.

Mr. Xu is also optimistic about Li Qun, a child who is sincere, enthusiastic and cheerful, decent and knows the rules. Zhou Yi and his widowed mother have taught him well. He is also handsome and handsome, and is worthy of his own daughter.

After the Xu family gave the message, Mrs. Zhou started to make arrangements. She invited the official media to exchange the Geng post, combined the eight characters, followed the process step by step, and chose the auspicious day of the zodiac to get engaged.

Li Qun and Xu Jing were officially engaged.

On the day of the engagement, the aunt in front of the Queen Mother came to give a congratulatory gift, which was regarded as giving face to the Xu family and the Li family.

When Xiu Niang saw that the two were engaged and a major event was completed, she started busy buying property.

She also bought a small courtyard with three entrances. The location is good and the decoration is [-]% new, but it is a bit small. She wanted a four-entry courtyard but didn't buy it.

I bought two more shops, one for Qing'er and one under my own name, so I can allocate them again later.

He bought two more villages with forest land, and Li Yan bought another one with forest land on the south side of the Yangtze River. The village was very large and had a shop. After all, he actually had a lot of property in his hands.

"Brother Rui, I'm thinking that the yard next door should be given to your parents. In the future, the eldest brother, sister-in-law or Brother Jing will have a place to live. In the future, you will add more people and expand the entrance. I gave the fourth-in-law house to Brother Qun. , we will get married there in the future.”

"Auntie, why do I need such a big yard? I can't use it."

"Yes, brother and sister, how old is he? With such a big yard and thousands of taels of silver, how can he get by like this? It's impossible."

"Don't worry, I still have something to say. Brother Qun is going to get married in two years. You have to teach him to run the business independently. These properties will also be divided in a while. Brother Chun is young now, so he has to first Don't worry, I can't stay in the capital for a long time. You, the elder brother, have to help him support his family. Only when brothers are united can we be stronger. I will prepare the property for you. In the future, you can let go and work hard in the officialdom, and you will not be dismissed. It’s hard to live with three melons and two dates.”

Xiu Niang solved their financial difficulties for them and prevented them from having money difficulties.

"Auntie, I will keep the yard, and I will buy a property for Brother Chun and my sister later. Don't worry about it yourself. We are old enough to take care of it for you."

Li Rui begged with red eyes.

"Good boy, he's grown up and sensible, and can take on the responsibility for us."

"We are all married. It's long past time to take up the responsibility. Your aunt is old and can no longer work hard. Don't ask your aunt about the work that is yours. We are brothers who fight against tigers. Always remember the power of unity."

Li Mao warned his son solemnly.

"Dad, my son remembers it. Please stay with us while you stay. Let my elder brother be busy at home. I will go home during the Chinese New Year." Li Rui smiled at his father in a flattering manner. He couldn't keep his aunt, so he couldn't keep his parents. OK.

"Okay, I'll stay and keep an eye on you."

"hey-hey!"

Xiu Niang gave the property to Brother Rui, not to the group brothers. He has not yet taken charge of the family. It may be because his brother is supporting him. In addition, Li Jing and Li Rui love the younger brothers and sisters below, and they protect them like eyeballs. Although Li Qun's father has passed away, Li Mao loves their brothers. In some ways, he is not as smart as Li Rui and is a bit naive.

"Don't expand the clan's industry too fast. If you want to buy it, buy a farm. You still have to buy the ancestral field. If it expands too fast, I'm afraid I won't be able to support you. You have to be aware of it. You also need to keep your uncle Yan's silk weaving business. Give him some money to work around, take it easy in the next two years, walk more steadily with your hands, watch the brothers carefully, don't go astray, and don't go to unclean places."

"Don't worry, my dad and Uncle Erqing are keeping a close eye on it. Grandpa Fifth will be here in a few days. We have to build a wine shop here, so Grandpa Five won't be able to come."

"That's it, I don't have anything else to ask you. Your uncle is not here, so you have to bear the responsibility for the capital."

"Yes."

"Also, our family is a family with responsibilities. We cannot take concubines into the family. Live a good life with your wife, and don't do all those extravagant chores that will lead to bad luck for the brothers below."

"I know, my parents have told me this many times. I'm not that kind of person, and it's not like I have nothing to do and worry about my belt all day long. I've been extremely busy all day."

Li Rui nodded repeatedly, squinting to show his childish side.

"Second Aunt, if Brother Chun stays, I will send him to the Imperial College."

"No, your brother is too young and he's still making noises. I'll take him back and grind for a few more years. I'll send him back if he wins the imperial examination. It won't be a hurry. Besides, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother raised the child and took him away. They will feel uncomfortable when there is no one around them.”

Brother Chun was raised by an old lady and her mother-in-law. There is no child left, and the old lady doesn't even have anyone to support him. I'm afraid it's inappropriate.

"Ok."

"Your little uncle is not at home, so you should go and visit the yard from time to time. Don't forget the etiquette from the Zhang family during the New Year and the holidays. This time they have invited a Jinshi to be the wife of our family. Please remember the etiquette."

"Don't worry, it's all in my heart. Now my brothers can help me a lot. Qing'er is also here, so I can do it properly. I can't make a mistake."

After the explanation, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Xiu Niang took a boat back to Lijiacun, while Li Mao and his wife stayed in the capital to help regulate the clan's industry.

Another restaurant is about to open in the capital. This time, Fifth Grandpa and his friends are here to open a restaurant and sell their own drinks. Li Mao and his wife want to help.

Li Jing stayed in his hometown tavern. The wine shop needed him. His grandfather was old and could no longer do much work, so his father-in-law and second uncle took charge of the overall situation in the wine shop.

Young and steady men were sent here for training. These were all married and had children, and the young and middle-aged generation came to work for the clan.

The only ones left at home are the elderly and half-grown children, who can't do much and stay at home to learn their skills.

Li Qing went to buy waiters and stewards. The stall at home was running out of manpower, so all his minions were used.
