The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 136
On the day of Brother Sen's full moon, the Zhao family went to drink the full moon wine except Mrs. Wang, who was inconvenient to walk (he was limping).Now, Wei Xiuqin is much more cheerful than before, and gets along very well with An Ran; Xiuya can also talk and walk, but she is very curious about the newborn little brother, always wanting to reach out and scratch her, and she can't leave him for a moment...

Time passed day by day, month by month, and in a blink of an eye, two years passed.Wei Qingyuan has already passed the Juren examination, and Zhao Annan and Wang Moqian have also passed the examination for scholar.

After the new year, Zhao Shihua will be preparing to go to the capital for the exam.Unfortunately, Wei Qingyuan didn't plan to go with him.He said that he was not suitable to be an official, and it was better to stay at home with his wife and children and be free.Anyway, now that it is time to raise people, there are quite a few people who come to invest in the fields, and the income of the family is guaranteed. He is satisfied that he can support his wife and children, and he does not want to leave his mother, wife and children.

This year my aunt gave birth to another daughter.Seeing that there is basically one little aunt a year, An Ran always wants to sigh in her heart.It's not a pig, so it keeps giving birth and giving birth?

The lobby brother Zhao Annan and sister-in-law Qian Ying have consummated their marriage, but there is no good news yet.On the contrary, the eldest sister An Shu has already given birth to a son, and everyone says she is a lucky one.

In the past two years, Zhao Shihua and He Minglang and Qian Pengyang have been communicating frequently.Qian Pengyang has been very successful in planting ratooning rice in Huzhou, and has been praised by the emperor every year. It is estimated that he may be transferred back to the capital after another tenure.

In Xicheng, He Minglang used his tactful means to mediate disputes among various ethnic groups, maintain local stability, and successfully explored the three-crop rice planting method, which not only solved the food and clothing of the local people, but also sold surplus grain to merchants.It is said that the rice in Xicheng is very fragrant, and the price is higher than other rice, but in the local area, it is not worth much.So it's a good deal.

In addition, the cultivation of sugarcane in dry land has also developed rapidly. The Gu family invested in a sugar cooking workshop in the local area, and transported the boiled sugar back to the mainland for sale.At the same time, it is also an excellent business route to transport the local fruits.The double-layer insulated box designed by Anron has greatly reduced the damage rate of tropical fruits shipped out of Xicheng.Of course, if the Gu family made money, the Zhao family would also have a share.

Now that many businessmen have seen the benefits, they have poured into Xicheng, making the economy of Xicheng more and more prosperous. The county magistrate He Minglang's achievements are getting better every year.

Every time he came back from Xicheng, the little uncle would come to Zhao's house and bring Anran the special products there.It's a pity that Hejiang is too far away from Xicheng, those fruits rotted on the way, and An Ran never ate them.Later, An Ran thought of a way for his little uncle, asking him to add sucrose to the pulp of those fruits to make jam. As long as you pay attention to the initial disinfection and later sealing, the shelf life will be much longer.The Gu family sent these jams to Jiangnan for sale, which was very popular among women and earned a lot of money.

Every time the little uncle talked about things in the West City, he was always beaming, and the listeners were immersed in it and felt his joy.However, the little uncle always refused to get married, which made the grandfather and grandmother very anxious.

Gu Wanniang also advised him to start a family, but he always said that he didn't find a suitable person.The implication is that he doesn't want the kind of arranged marriage that the matchmaker said, but he actually wants to find someone he likes by himself.An Ran knew that her little uncle must have been influenced by those ethnic minorities in Xicheng.She thought that she would not be surprised if her little uncle brought her a little aunt of the Yi tribe back.

Gu Shengwu liked to talk about the West City with An Ran, because An Ran could always inspire him and give him countless good ideas.Moreover, no matter how strange the customs of the barbarians he said were, An Ran could understand them.Unknowingly, the uncle and nephew seemed to have forgotten their friendship.

While talking, An Ran inadvertently mentioned that a place further south of the West City produces a kind of jade, which is different from the existing jade, harder, brighter in color, pure and transparent emerald green, red like emerald Flame red jadeite, pure yellow chicken oil yellow, purple eyes, pure white jadeite, three colors of blessing, fortune and longevity, blue flower ice and so on...

An Ran said that those beautiful jade stones are hidden inside each piece of stone, and there may be nothing visible from the outside, or there may be some python belt pine flowers.Legend has it that it was the place where Nuwa repaired the sky and smelted colorful stones. Those jade stones were all useless waste for Nuwa to repair the sky...

Gu Shengwu was very excited when he heard that, An Ran suddenly became a little uneasy, and hurriedly warned him that there is a large rain forest to the south of the west city, and there are many snakes and insects in it, so he must not go there.Gu Shengwu nodded in agreement, saying that he was just curious, and told her not to worry.

At the end of the year, He became pregnant again.An Ran thought, maybe the third aunt is the kind of person who is more difficult to conceive.In fact, she thinks it's better like this, one a year like my little aunt, it's too hurtful, right?It's a pity that she is too young to teach my little aunt contraception.Now everyone pays attention to having many children and grandchildren!
This year has been very lively, the whole family is here, and there are a few children making noise, which is very joyous.It's just that An Ran watched her grandparents' health getting worse and worse.That's right, people who have been used to working have suddenly become old masters and old ladies. They are not allowed to do any work, and they eat better than before. After two years, the two elders have gained a lot of weight.Everyone said they were lucky, but An Ran was worried that they would get three highs.

After the Chinese New Year, Zhao Shihua took his young servant Wangqiu and set off for the capital Chang'an to catch up for the exam.

For some reason, since her father left, An Ran has always felt uneasy.On the night of the ninth day of February, An Ran had a nightmare. She dreamed that her father had come back with blood on her head. She said that she had been away for too long and was reluctant to part with her, so she came back to see her.After An Ran woke up from the dream, she was so frightened that she went to the nearest monastery the next day to offer incense and pray for her father.

Both Gu Wanniang and Rong were very strange, but no matter how they asked, she didn't tell the truth.She knew the ancients were superstitious, if she knew that she had such a nightmare, she would be so worried!
On March [-]th, a servant from the Zhao family suddenly came, saying that he wanted to see the head of the Zhao family and inform him about Zhao Juren.So, the concierge took him to the hall and asked someone to inform the old man and the old lady.

Now that the test has not yet started, the two elders of the Zhao family can't think of anything that their son needs to send back now, but unexpectedly, the yamen servant looked at the two elders of the Zhao family with a sad face and said: "Please give condolences to the two old people. On the tenth day of February , Zhenping County, Jinzhou received a report and found more than 20 corpses robbed and killed by robbers on a mountain road. They found Zhao Juren's identity document on one of the corpses, so they sent people to Hejiang County to report the report , please rush to Zhenping County to identify the corpse as soon as possible..."
