Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 255
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zixuan and Jinghan walked back together with most of the servants in the mansion.A group of nearly twenty carriages walked in the direction of Shuangdian County.

This season, the weather is the coldest.It is said that it is Laqi Laba, and the jaw is frozen. It has been two days since Laba, and it is so cold that people can't wait to lie on the hot kang and leave the house.

The drivers outside were all wearing thick leather jackets and leather pants, as well as leather boots on their feet.Don't look at them sitting on the shaft of the car, not moving very much, but these people are all strong and strong.Besides, driving a cart is also a laborious job, and the palm of the right hand holding the whip can sweat.

On the contrary, Jinghan and the others were sitting in the car. Not only were they dressed thickly, but they were also covered with thick fur and covered with quilts. They even held the heater in their hands.

Qingyuan wears a lot of clothes. She was already small, but now she has become a fluffy ball.Qian Shi hugged Qingyuan, Chunliu hugged Qingyao, these people sat in the same car.

Zixuan naturally sat in the same car with Jinghan, hugged Jinghan who was afraid of the cold, and held Jinghan's slightly cold little hand with his big hand. "Isn't there a heater? Why are your hands still cold?"

Nestling in Zixuan's arms, Jinghan smiled lazily, "Women are naturally cold, what's the use of just leaning on the stove?" Zixuan's body is warm, so it's very comfortable to lean on.

Zixuan also had no choice but to hug Jinghan tightly, "It's really hard to travel in this winter. Fortunately, we are relatively close to home, and we can get there in four or five days. We can only be patient on this journey. If my lady is afraid of the cold, I will hug you all the time." Over the past few years, business affairs have become more and more busy, especially this year, Zixuan felt that he hadn't been able to hold Jinghan in his arms and talk properly for a long time. "Let's rest in Fucheng today. I just have to go to see the magistrate. Although I have asked him for leave before, since we are here, we still have to pay a visit."

Zixuan went back to his hometown this time, but he reported it, and the emperor knew about it.The emperor said that he was grateful for Zixuan's contribution in Xizhou, and specially allowed him to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives.And because the birthday of Mr. Xu's family is the 25th of the first lunar month, Zixuan was given a two-month vacation, and he can wait until February to come back.

"By the way, let's go back, let's not talk about grandpa's birthday. In August this year, it's the old man's 66. We were so busy at that time that we all forgot. If the old man finds out about this, I'm afraid he will be angry." Jing Han It was Zixuan's grandfather who said it.

Zixuan froze for a moment, "It's true, I really forgot. There's nothing I can do about it. This is a good time, and it happens to be in the first month. My grandfather's birthday is in August, and I was busy at that time. I can't even take care of sleep, so how can I think of going home to celebrate the old man's birthday? So, when we go back this time, we will make it clear to them and spend more time with the old man."

Jing Han nodded and said nothing more.The old man of the Lin family is open-minded, but in this kind of matter, there will inevitably be comparisons.At that time, as long as Fan Zixuan could spare some effort, he had to go back no matter what.I thought about it at the time, and sent people to send a lot of things and money back, but I was afraid that the old man would have a lump in his heart, and it would be difficult to handle.

The carriage wandered around for a day, knowing that it was getting dark outside, and finally arrived at Fucheng.Fucheng had already received the news that the magistrate sent people from the government office to pick up Zixuan, and then sent everyone to the post station.

This inn was specially set up by the imperial court for officials to come and stay and exchange horses, so the inside of the inn is still very good, much better than the inn outside.

Zixuan helped Jinghan get off the carriage, and everyone entered the post station together.Changshun Chang'an and the others quickly settled the carriages and horses, and gave the person in charge of the post station a lot of silver to get them some good fodder to feed the horses.

The house provided by the post station is naturally not as big as the home, but the furnishings inside are still complete.In the post stations in the north, the houses are full of kangs, and the kangs are already very hot at this time.Jinghan hugged Qingyao and sat on the kang, Zixuan hugged Qingyuan and put him on the kang.

"This kang is well-heated and very hot. You take the children to have a good rest and let them go to Zhangluo to eat. I have to go to the government office first. The magistrate knows that I will be there today." Zixuan said Qingyuan put it on Jinghan's lap, and then said.

"Okay, then go quickly. If the magistrate wants to keep you, let the boy following you come back and report a letter, and we won't wait for you to eat." Jinghan held a child in each hand, and said to Zixuan .

"Well, I know this, you don't have to worry about anything else, eat something well, and then coax these two little things to sleep. It's cold, and there is no place to go out to play." Zixuan warned before going out road.

Zixuan went to the government office, and the magistrate really left him to eat there, so Jinghan and the others ate without waiting for Zixuan.Qingyao can now eat like an adult, but this kid is very clever, and he doesn't need to be fed by others, he can eat by himself with a spoon.Although he lost more than he ate, everyone didn't say anything, just wrapped a large piece of soft cotton cloth in front of him, and let him eat.

Qingyuan's food looks much better, and the food is quite delicious with a bowl.Since the two children knew how to hold a spoon, Jinghan let them practice eating by themselves, and now they are very decent.Mrs. Qian kept picking some meat from Qingyuan's bowl for him. This little guy is a master who doesn't like meat.That's good, the little guy is very strong, and he has never had any problems since he was a child.

After the meal was over, Jinghan took the child to play on the kang, and the three mothers laughed and quarreled, and became crazy. "Okay, okay, mother admit defeat, you guys don't make trouble anymore, if you make trouble at night, you won't be able to sleep at night." Jinghan hugged Qingyuan tightly. This little thing is old and has a lot of ghosts. I can't beat my son anymore.

Qingyao has already slipped away very quickly, and threw herself into Jinghan's arms, calling mother in a childish voice.

Looking at the two little guys in front of her, Jing Han was naturally very happy, but she always wanted to have another daughter.It's a pity that in the past year, Zixuan and Jinghan have been together less and separated more, so how can there be a chance to conceive a child?
Qian looked at the three mothers and couldn't help laughing, "You are so old, and you are crazy with the children. It's getting late, give them to me and Chunliu, they should go to bed gone."

After the two children were weaned, they no longer slept with Jing Han, but with Qian Shi.There used to be Chunxing, but now Chunliu is helping to take care of her.The two little guys have adapted well to this, and they will go to bed with Mrs. Qian when the time comes.

So Qian Shi hugged Qingyao, Chunliu hugged Qingyuan, went to Xijian to sleep.Both Jinghan and Zixuan came from farming families, and they never put on such a pattern when it comes to employing people. They never need others to serve them at night, so there is no need for girls to be on duty at night. Everyone can rest at night.

Jinghan was also a little tired this day, lying on the kang, and soon fell asleep.

When Zixuan came back, he saw his wife was fast asleep.Zixuan didn't dare to disturb Jinghan, quietly took off his clothes, pulled off another quilt, and fell asleep like this.

A group of people walked for five days, and it was not until the evening of the [-]th day that they returned to the village.Originally, she was passing by the town, but Jing Han didn't let her stop, and went straight back to the village.After all, they are the Lin family, and it is rare to go back to their hometown. It would be bad if they went to the Xu family instead of going home first.

Chang Shun and Chang An rode back to the village first, and by the time Zixuan and the others arrived, the Lin family had already received the news.

Xingjia and Ziwen waited outside the door with their family members, and saw a large carriage coming from a distance, Ziwen shouted, "Father, those are big brother's cars, big brother is back."

As Ziwen said, he took a few steps forward and shouted loudly, "Brother."

Since Zixuan entered the village, he sat outside the carriage, saw his family from a distance, and was very excited.He waved his hand at Ziwen to show that he heard it.

When the carriage arrived at the door of Lin's house, Zixuan jumped out of the carriage.After a few steps, he came to the front of his parents, lifted his clothes and knelt down. "The unfilial son kowtowed to his parents, how are they going to be?"

With tears in He's eyes, Xingjia was also full of excitement, "Okay, okay, get up quickly, the ground is so cold, it's not good to be frozen. Hurry up and get in the house. As for Jinghan, let them all get out of the car and enter the house .Where are my two eldest grandsons?"

Jing Han got off the carriage, followed by Qian Shi and Chun Liu who carried the two little guys down as well.When Jinghan came in front of the Xingjia couple, she was about to kneel and kowtow.

He supported Jinghan, "Oh, you can't help it, it's freezing cold, be careful of hurting your body. Come in, come, let grandma hug my grandson." As he said, He Shi stepped forward to take Qingyao.

Xiao Qingyao was not afraid of strangers, her big eyes flickered at the old lady in front of her, and then at her mother. "Mom, grandma?" The little guy tilted his head and asked Jinghan.

Before coming back, Jinghan told Qingyuan and Qingyao.After returning home, I saw an old lady who was similar to Qian, and I called her grandma.Although Qingyao is young, he has a good brain. When he saw Mrs. He, he thought of his mother's advice.

He called grandma, and He smiled happily, "Oh, I am your grandma, baby grandson, come, grandma will take you home."

Xingjia over there also picked up Qingyuan, and then they all walked into the house together.

Zixuan and Jinghan followed their parents and entered the courtyard together. Qian Shi also entered with a group of girls and women.Ziwen stayed outside, commanding Chang'an and the others to unload everything from the car.Put everything that should be put in the warehouse, and move the luggage into the house.

When I came back this time, I pulled a dozen or so carts just for things. These people worked together and moved for a long time before it was done.
