It wasn't until the group of people disappeared from sight that Jiang Ning turned to look at Yang Xiaohua and said lovingly: "Do you know what your father said?"

Yang Xiaohua nodded, "My father said that he has someone he knows, and he can ask the young lady to keep me by his side. From now on, I will follow the young lady to learn more, watch more, listen more and talk less. I want to be as powerful as my mother-in-law."

"Your mother-in-law?" Jiang Ning was a little shocked. Only then did she remember that she didn't seem to know the situation of Yang Xiaohua's mother.

Yang Xiaohua raised her head and said crisply: "My grandma used to work in a wealthy family, and she was released to marry my dad when she got older. My dad said that my grandma is amazing and can do everything!"

It turns out that there is a precedent, so Jiang Ning has nothing to worry about.

"Then you have to do a good job and protect yourself. When Xiaoya comes back, take her to see you if you have the chance."

Jiang Ning's words dispelled Yang Xiaohua's sadness, and she returned to her usual cheerful self. Since she had no playmates, she simply followed Jiang Ning into the mountains. Jiang Ning picked mushrooms while she dug bamboo shoots. On the way, she also met sisters Yang Daya. The two of us can still say a few words, but we are not alone.

Because there were two foreign men living at home, a widow in Jiangning couldn't live alone at home, so she simply found an excuse to move to her old house. She only went back to the east of the village to make rice paper during the day. Anyway, Old Man Yang and Old Man Yang were out working. , Yang Laigui was also taken to the county to study by Yang Laosan. The family was full of female relatives, so there was nothing to avoid.

Li and Zhou only thought Jiang Ning was alone and came to keep them company, so they didn't think much about it.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. During these two months, the spring plowing was over. This time she was still the same as last year. Except for planting rice in the paddy fields, only two acres of dry land were left to plant taro. The rest were all planted with peppers, peppers, and wild mountains. As for medicine, the focus this year is yam. If this thing can produce a high yield, it will be another food that can fill the stomach.

The most important thing is that she no longer has to travel hard into the mountains to find wild yams.

In order to increase the yield of crops, she used a large amount of shell ash to fertilize the fields in advance this time, allowing the four Fang brothers to plow deeply. The soft soil should be more conducive to the growth of tuber plants.

Jiang Ning was looking forward to the crops in the fields and wished he could see them three times a day.

Zhang was going to work in the workshop. When he saw her squatting in the field again, he couldn't help but come forward and said, "What's wrong? Are you thinking about it? Are you ready to go to the field?"

Jiang Ning looked back at her and sighed, "I'm helpless, I just took a look, but it doesn't seem to have changed at all?"

Mrs. Zhang was speechless, "Are you growing gold? Is it worthy of your attention?"

"It would be nice to grow gold."

"bang bang bang"

Before Jiang Ning finished speaking, he heard the rapid sound of a gong coming from the entrance of the village.

She stood up suddenly and looked at Mrs. Zhang, "Let's go! Go see what's going on!"

"Someone is coming to the village to cause trouble again! Don't do it! There are no men in the village who can fight! They are all women and old people. What will happen if something goes wrong!" Mrs. Zhang was worried as she quickly followed Jiang Ning's pace.

The two of them saw a group of officers and soldiers approaching on the way. They held spears and looked solemn, which frightened the villagers who came over.

The two old men who beat the gong stood close together, trembling with fear.

Jiang Ning was the first to react and hurried forward to salute, "I've met the official!"

The team stopped, and the people in the carriage stuck their heads out and smiled at Jiang Ning, "Ms. Jiang, you're fine!"

"Master Xu!" Jiang Ning was startled for a moment, then beamed with joy, "It's great that you're okay!" Xu Chun got off the carriage, stroking his beard and laughed: "Thanks to everyone, I escaped from death, everything Be well! I'm here to pick up Mr. Huang, he is still there!"

Xu Chun asked worriedly.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly and whispered: "Here they are! I let them live at home, and I moved in with my mother-in-law. During this time, Afeng is taking care of Mr. Huang."

"I've wronged you!" Xu Chun admired Jiang Ning more and more and walked towards Jiang Ning's house.

The villagers listened in confusion.

Li Shi winked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning walked over generously and said: "Auntie, Mr. Xu is a senior official in the capital. They are here to pick up the imperial envoy who is recuperating at my home. Aren't you wondering why I am living in my old house during this time? That's it. Because there is an imperial envoy living at home, I have to run in both directions every day just to avoid taboos."

Li was stunned, "The imperial envoy has been living in your house? Is he the only one?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "That's not true. There is also a confidant of the Imperial Envoy. He has been taking care of the Imperial Envoy these days. I just go back to work during the day to cover up others' eyes."

The Lis all breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter if there were still people around, and they weren't afraid of any gossip.

Liu said: "The Imperial Envoy must have had no choice but to stay in our village. Jiang cannot leak secrets and must avoid taboos. This is already very good. Please don't make random guesses."

The rest of the village nodded silently.

Jiang Ning added: "Master Xu is here. I say it's okay. The imperial envoy was seriously injured and fled to my house. He has been recuperating these days because he doesn't know who is behind it and is afraid of causing trouble to our village. So I had to help cover the imperial envoy."

The villagers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and several old ladies patted their chests in fear, "It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, you didn't reveal the secret. Otherwise, if the news spread, not only would the imperial envoy be in danger, but all of us would be in danger as well."

"Yes, yes! That's the imperial envoy, and he was seriously injured! It seems that high officials are not so easy to be!"

"Speaking of Jiang's cleverness, if it were me, the whole village would probably be so scared that even the mice would know someone is coming to my house!"

Everyone was amused and laughed.

Jiang Ning said to Mrs. Li, "Auntie, take everyone back to the workshop to work. I'll go home and take a look. Mr. Xu must be here to pick up the imperial envoy."

Ms. Li nodded repeatedly, "Go and do your work! If you need anything, let us know. We'll be on call."

Jiang Ning hurried home and saw the yard full of soldiers. Xu Chunzheng and Huang Zhengyang were sitting on the stone bench in the yard talking.

"The emperor already knows what happened in Quzhou. The Wei River bursting its embankments, the fraud in the imperial examinations, and the assassination of imperial envoys. No matter what happened, the emperor was furious. However, the emperor did not listen to one-sided words, so he also came to Quzhou for this private visit incognito. ”

Jiang Ning paused when he heard this.

Xu Chun looked at her, waved to her, and said thoughtfully: "Since Mrs. Jiang has heard it, it's okay for the emperor to pay a private visit and stay in your house temporarily."

"Me, me, me. The emperor lives in my house?" Jiang Ning could no longer treat this matter calmly. She had just entertained an imperial envoy, and now she was entertaining the emperor. When did her humble house become so popular? One and two must live in!
