Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 167
Lin Xingjia, his wife and Zixuan Wenhan sent Jing Han and Jing Wan to the mountain.When the Zhixin brothers heard that such things had happened in the county, they became a little angry.

"Third brother, don't be on the mountain, hurry down to the county seat. If the third sibling is in the county, if something happens, she can't handle it at all. You are not alone in farming on the mountain, hurry over and help her As long as the restaurant can persevere, I will try my best to persevere. I will quickly write to Lao Wu to see what he can do. We have old and new grudges with the Qin family. I'm afraid the matter won't stop." Zhixin directly drove Zhiming down the mountain.

Zhiming also missed his wife, so he packed up two pieces of clothes and left.Although Wen Cheng was worried, there was too much work on the mountain, and he couldn't leave him anymore, so he didn't follow him.

Wen Han was thinking about these things at home, and decided not to go to the county school for the time being.Before they came back, Pengcheng sent his family boy to the Master's place, and he had already asked the Master for leave.It happens to be on the mountain, and I can also help my family with farming.

The Zhixin couple and the Xingjia couple discussed Zixuan and Jinghan's marriage together, and they unanimously decided to marry them on April [-]th.Today is already the first day of April, so the time is very tight.

"Father, is this too tight, can we get ready?" Zixuan asked.

"What's the matter? We don't plan to make a fuss. The house at home is newly built, and it can be lived in simply by cleaning it up. It's enough to invite the villagers to dinner on the wedding day." Xingjia said, looking at Jinghan , "Girl, I just wronged you a little bit."

Jinghan smiled, "Uncle, it's okay, I don't feel wronged, as long as I can be with Zixuan." Jinghan couldn't feel wronged at all, but in the current situation, she couldn't allow herself to think about anything else . "Uncle, auntie, you can discuss it here. I'm going to see the mountain. I haven't come up this year to see it. I don't know how the tussah silkworms are hatching." Jinghan turned and went out.

Zhixin looked at her daughter's back and felt very sad.Most of the Xu family's success today is due to Jing Han.But now, her daughter is going to get married, but she has to do it quietly.Zhixin couldn't let his daughter get married in a good manner, Zhixin felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Xingjia, this matter is so settled. We will also send some more silver taels here, and the rest is too late to prepare. Let's hurry up and plant all the land, and we can't patronize Jinghan. The land has been delayed, which is our foundation. The wine shop is not busy right now, so let Guoan and the others help you plant the land quickly. I have a lot of manpower here, and I will come over to help you after I finish planting the land. "The Lin family has more than 100 mu of land, more than the Xu family.Zhixin was afraid that Xingjia and the others would be too busy.

"Sure, it doesn't matter. In the past, we wait until the planting is almost done before we hire someone to help. It would be the best if you can keep up with it. Our brothers, I'm not being polite to you either. It’s best to finish planting as early as possible. It’s a lifelong affair for the children, and if you have more space, you can also prepare more things for them.” Xingjia nodded, but he was not polite, the key is the relationship between the two families. This, if you are too polite, will appear false.

After discussing the matter, the three members of the Lin family left. Zixuan went to find Jinghan before leaving, and talked to Jinghan for a while, and asked Jinghan to wait on the mountain with peace of mind.

After seeing off the Lin family, Zhixin quickly asked Wenhan to write a letter, and found someone to go to the town to find a way to deliver it to Zhixiang.

The matter of getting married has already been decided, so Jinghan is relieved.Jinghan who returned to the mountain was like a fish leaving the water and returning to the water again.Compared with the days in the county, it is much more comfortable.

Spring plowing has started and everyone is very busy.The Xu family now has a lot of people, but in order to save time, Jinghan and the others also went to work in the fields.After a whole winter, Jinghan, who was finally a little whiter, turned black again.When Xue saw it, she felt a little distressed, and rushed Jinghan back quickly.

"Mom, what else is there to do with this job? The big guys are all working, you let me idle? If it gets dark, it will get dark, isn't it the same for me in previous years? I can't be afraid of getting sunburned, and then I will Don't do anything, just hang out in the house." Jinghan didn't care about these things at all, and now she was on the mountain, her heart was very at ease, and she just wanted to do some work.

"Where can I be free? You are going to get married in more than ten days. You haven't made the wedding dress yet, so you can just make the wedding dress at home." Xue Shi actually knows, just relying on Jing Han, right? It is possible to finish the wedding dress in such a short time.Mrs. Xue sent someone to go to the town a long time ago to find an embroidery workshop to catch up with her. He told Jinghan that he just didn't want her to be troubled.Jing Han has been able to do it since she was a child, she can't do any work at home, and now she is about to get married, of course Xue wants her daughter to rest for a while.

Jing Han smiled, she naturally understood what her mother was thinking, but she really didn't want to be idle now.With such a busy schedule, she won't think about it.Jinghan said with a smile, "Mother, just let me work. You see, I'm getting married, so I won't be able to farm for you anymore. This is the last time I will farm for my family. Leave me here."

Xue Shi was fine at first, but as soon as Jing Han's words came out, Xue Shi couldn't help but shed tears. "Why do you think you are going to die like this? Our family is watching life, and my brother and your father are planning to prepare more dowry for you, so that you can marry off in a good way. But who would have thought that it would come out Come out like this? Sigh."

Jinghan saw that her words had made her mother sad, so she hurried to persuade her. "Okay, mother, I don't care about these things. My family treats me so well, and I'm already very content. This is in our family. If there are other people around, aren't there those who sold their daughters? And Yes, even if the family has plenty of money, they don’t want to spend a little on the girl. One day, they can’t wait for the girl to only work and not eat. Are there few people like this? If you love me so much, what else can I be dissatisfied with? Things I provoked it myself, and let my parents and relatives worry about it. I am already disobedient. Parents don’t blame me, it’s fine.” Jinghan wiped her mother’s face with a handkerchief in her hand. "Okay, it's the busy spring, let's hurry up and finish the work early."

Jing Wan and Jing Xian also came over to persuade her a few words, Xue's feeling better now, and everyone hurried to work again.

The Xu family still planted about [-] mu of land this year. Although they bought a lot of woods, they were all for other purposes and could not be opened up for farming.The family is fairly well staffed, so it took six days to plant all the plants.

Zhixin led the people to do this and that on the mountain, while Mrs. Xue went down the mountain to prepare some dowry for her daughter, unfortunately, she didn't prepare anything at all.It might be too late for big pieces of furniture, but Mrs. Xue still prepared a lot for clothes, fabrics, jewelry, etc., which can be bought directly.

In the blink of an eye, Jinghan has been back on the mountain for about ten days.In addition to helping with farming, Jinghan pays attention to the hatching of silkworm cocoons every day, and of course those duck eggs brought from the capital.Two thousand duck eggs were placed on several kangs.Mrs. Li and the others are good at doing this. Jinghan once gave an idea to stitch together the animal skins, fill them with water, and make a big water bag.Then block it with wooden boards all around, and then put the eggs on the water bag, so that the temperature will be relatively constant, and there will be no sudden cold and hot things.In Jinghan's previous life, she always used plastic bags. There are no plastic bags here, so she has to use animal skins.As for the problem of water leakage, there is no need to worry about it. In fact, there are some glues that can be used.

It takes about 28 days for the duck eggs to hatch, and now there are still a few days before the ducklings hatch.Jinghan began to look forward to the scene when these little ducks hatched.

According to the news from the county town, the restaurant is not bad, and the Qin family didn't go over to make trouble.The Lu family had already written to Master Qin, and it might have played a role. In addition, the Lu family's steward was there, so no one went to find trouble.

When Jing Han heard the news, she felt relieved.It seems that the Qin family is still more scruples about the Lu family. If this is the case, this is probably the case.

In the county seat, the Qin Mansion.

"Master, the second master sent a letter from the capital." Mr. Yan handed the letter to Master Qin.

"Mr. Yan, just help me take a look. I'm out of energy for a while and don't want to look." Master Qin was half lying on the kang, talking listlessly.Ever since he met Jinghan, he has lost interest in other women, and since then he has been thinking about Jinghan every day, and he has been dazed.

Mr. Yan was a little helpless, so he couldn't persuade him any more.How can he not know what kind of virtue his master is?That is a lustful evil ghost, if he meets a beautiful woman, he will not be reconciled if he doesn't get it.Mr. Yan sighed, such a brother is also thanks to the ability of the second master, otherwise, he would have been sued not long ago.

"Master, this is good news. The third lady of the second master's family has become the prince's side concubine. Now, the second master is the prince's father-in-law." Mr. Yan was immediately happy when he saw the letter. up. "Looking at it this way, the situation in the capital must have become clearer, and the crown prince seems to have a winning chance, so the second master will publicly support the prince. In addition, the third lady also talked about the marriage with the fifth lady in our house. Said to be the wife of Dingbeihou. This Dingbeihou made great military exploits when he fought against the Beiyuan Kingdom in the north, and was named a marquis by the emperor. At the end of last year, Mrs. Dingbeihou died of illness. This Dingbeihou I'm only 35 years old this year, and I've been in the army all the time, so I only have one son who is only ten years old. The second master said, don't look at it as a stepmother, but when the fifth lady of our family marries, she can directly take charge of Zhongfu. That's Lord Hou My wife is not comparable to ordinary people. If Miss San doesn't have face, such a good marriage would not be our family's turn." Mr. Yan's words made Master Qin's eyes light up.
