Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 52
After Sun Shitou received the letter in Sunjia Village, because he didn't know many words, he didn't know what was written in Sun's letter written by his subordinates. He only knew after the person sent read it.When he heard that it was a major matter to run a school, and he had to come forward to discuss it with the head of the Sun clan and the head of the Li family village, he felt a little apprehensive.He is the least used to dealing with the villagers. When he was kicked out by his family, the whole village disliked him. It was better until he moved back to the village to live with the villagers.However, the patriarch of the Sun clan is still a good person, and he was allowed to have a meal back then.

He took the letter and told the patriarch of the Sun clan, and the patriarch thought it was a good thing when he heard it.The current emperor is in his prime, wise and powerful. The imperial examinations he set have given poor children a new way out. He is thinking of finding a place for his grandson to start his studies. If he runs a school in his village, everything will be easier.Mrs. Sun asked someone to bring 200 taels of silver, and said that the children in Sunjia Village and Lijia Village went to school free of charge. , The whole school only costs about ten taels of silver.The cost of inviting a scholar to teach is a big one. He happens to have one in mind for this candidate, and he also knows the cost. In short, the 200 taels is enough.

On the same day, he took Sun Shitou to discuss with the village chief of Lijia Village.Lijiacun is not like Sunjiacun where both patriarch and village head are held by one person. In addition to the common surname Li, there are two other common surnames in the village.The Cheng family was also a foreigner, and the Sun family didn't say that they could only let the Cheng family study for free. When the head of Lijia Village heard that there were such benefits, he immediately decided to buy the wood for the school.The three of them discussed again which children should go to school first. Of course, Sun Shitou just listened, but the more he listened, the more excited he became.

Sun Daniu has also reached the age of enlightenment. During the days when he lived in Cheng's mansion, he also learned characters from Zhuhua. Zhuhua said that this child is smart, and he is a good seed for reading. He also thinks that his own child is smart.If he can study, it would be good to be a shopkeeper in the future, with the Cheng family covering his head, as long as Sun Daniu's nature is not bad, he will still be a shopkeeper.The patriarch also said that even if the village confesses one person, it will be beneficial to the village.What's more, Mrs. Sun is in the capital now, so she can help out if something happens.

Sun Shitou admires this cheap sister even more now. Not only did she not look down on the country people when she became an official wife, but she was also willing to help the villagers. How could other people in the village have such a kind heart? Just follow whoever is in a hurry.People in the two villages praised Cheng and his wife as good people. The head of Lijia Village bragged after drinking and said that he had already seen that Cheng Dashan was not a treasure, and the others laughed when they heard it.

When Mrs. Sun received the servant's reply, Cheng Dashan's reply also arrived.Sun's handwriting is not good, and others write letters for him, but he can understand a few words.Cheng Dashan's letter is also simple, saying that there are many affairs over there, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return until the second half of the year.For Mrs. Sun, it's okay to wait half a year longer, at least there is a return date, and she is busy with other things, and the days will pass soon.

A few days ago, when Uncle Li sent Ah Zhu back, he talked about buying fruit trees grown in the mountains, and also said that chickens could be raised on the mountains.As soon as Mrs. Sun thought it made sense, she asked Uncle Li to buy the mountain he was looking for. She also bought a mountain near the Zhuangzi in Chang'an. In addition to raising chickens, the Zhuangzi also raised a lot of rabbits and pigs.These are all things she used to raise in the countryside before, she knows what to pay attention to.Apart from the affairs of the mansion, she would go to Zhuangzi to see the rabbit farm and pig farm every now and then.

Jinhua heard that there were many pigs raised in the Xiaoqu District near Chang'an, so she went to see it with Mrs. Sun, and asked Mrs. Sun to let her kill a few pigs for practice.After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Sun still agreed, but she had to watch from the sidelines and kill him quietly.With Sun's guidance, Jin Hua didn't ask why she killed her quietly.

Seeing that Mrs. Sun shifted the focus of her work to the farm, Zhuhua thought that the matter of running a school was over.That's right, her family is an outsider in Lijia Village, and Sun's family is a married woman, so she can't be married to help her mother's family like this. Maybe Cheng Dashan will blame her for being prodigal if she finds out.She was wrong about this matter, Cheng Dashan not only didn't blame him, but also asked her to pay more money to run the school more grandly.He has always admired scholars and is very enthusiastic about running a school. If he is not busy with military affairs, he would like to go back to his hometown to see for himself.

To say that his military affairs are actually not onerous, he was dispatched as reinforcements, so he didn't have much real military affairs to be responsible for, and besides his own cronies, he didn't have many people under his command.He was transferred because the second-in-command general in the local army was injured. He wanted General Fu to take over his post, but the former general who had been transferred for the past six months wanted his people to take over.

The relationship between the two has always been delicate. Originally, General Fu had been eyeing the position of the former general for many years. After finally getting rid of his predecessor, he parachuted a person whose qualifications were not as high as his. He was somewhat dissatisfied. convinced.But this person has something to do with Shen's family and is his boss, so he usually doesn't dare to offend him.

It's nothing more than hopeless promotion, if he can't even pass his current position to his own people, wouldn't he have spent so many years at the border for nothing.In order to hand over the position to his son, he began to make little trouble for General Yuan from time to time.Although General Yuan is young, he is not stupid, thinking that he has the backing of the Shen family and let his subordinates underestimate him, and his heart is filled with anger.So, the two hit it off.

Cheng Dashan didn't feel the subtle aura of his own people at the border at all. After several months in the police force, the foreigners tried to attack a few times and then retreated. It is reasonable for him to come back, but the Holy Majesty ordered him to stay longer day.Just stay, it's easier to stay at the border than staying in Chang'an, and for some reason, the generals in the city love to invite him to dinner.

When he first came to the border, he was not very popular. General Fu was worried that he was airborne to take up an important position, and General Yuan was because the Shen family deliberately kept him away.But Cheng Dashan didn't care about it, and he didn't notice it. He thought it was a disturbance from foreigners, and everyone was nervous and had no time to chat and laugh.After getting along for a period of time, the attitudes of both parties towards him changed.

In terms of being a man, Cheng Dashan is pretty good, he doesn't strive for success, and he can finish the tasks assigned to him well, even if he doesn't really need to do some tasks, he does it happily.General Yuan of the Shen family's faction was stumbled by General Fu several times, and there was a temporary shortage of people when he went on a mission. At this time, as long as he went to Cheng Dashan, he would go to the top without saying a word. Follow his love, no longer far away from him.Besides, he kept saying that he would be able to go home after the new year, so the other half of the people at the border also felt relieved of him, and gradually became close to him.He used to hold an important position in Beijing, and he has many friends with many paths. If he returns to Beijing in the future, he may help each other.

One side thinks he is good, another side thinks he is capable, and both parties often invite him to drink and complain about each other's faults. Cheng Dashan listens to each other, and it is not until half a year later that the situation in the city is not right.But he didn't care, he should eat and drink, he just wanted to go back to Chang'an as soon as possible.But because of the stalemate between the two factions at the border, he could ease the relationship between the two sides, so the supervisor secretly reported to the emperor that he wanted Cheng Dashan to stay at the border for a little longer, and the stay would only take half a year.

It was after the Dragon Boat Festival that Zhuhua thought about her father who had promised to come back in spring but hadn't come back. When she asked and found out that he would come back in autumn, she put the matter aside.She learns literature and martial arts every day, and also learns female red cooking skills. She is so busy, how can she have any fantasies about this not very close father.But amidst the busy schedule, she still has a glimmer of expectation, because her idol is going back to Chang'an soon.
