Chapter 29 Assumption of office

These days, Liu Ming has never been to the Mingxiang Pavilion where Aunt Jiang lives, and he hasn't even said a word to Aunt Jiang.

This was the result that Jiang Suqin had expected a long time ago, but she was not discouraged by it.

She knows very well that there is nothing that can be done overnight in this world, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done step by step.

Now, at the very least, she has achieved her first goal - to become a member of the Liu family, and she firmly believes that she will be able to achieve what she wants.

She abides by the duties of an aunt of the Liu family every day, gets up early to say hello to the Zhu family, gets up to freshen up, and then goes to greet the old lady Wang and serve the left and right.

Han and Zhu both have their own things to do, so she accompanies the old lady to play and amuse to make the old lady happy.

Although it was only a few days, the old lady Wang had already accepted her, and she had a good impression of her.

The reason why she is like this is, firstly, to gain a firm foothold in the Liu family, and secondly, although she is now Liu Ming's aunt who has crossed the Ming Road, but when Liu Ming goes to Yingzhou to take office, she may not take her with her, she must take precautions.

Sure enough, the night before Liu Ming's departure, he told the old lady Wang that Aunt Jiang served the old lady very dedicatedly, and planned to let her stay in Boling to fulfill her filial piety.

At that time, Aunt Jiang was waiting in front of the old lady Wang, and after listening to Liu Ming's words, her body involuntarily fell back.

The old lady Wang glared at Liu Ming fiercely, and let out a heavy breath: "Filial piety is not on this, is there a lack of people around me to serve?" You add another grandson to me, which is your serious filial piety. ”

One sentence blocked Liu Ming back.

Aunt Jiang silently buried her head very low, and breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.

Zhu stood beside Liu Ming and just smiled silently, and only after the matter was settled did he say something goodbye to the old lady Wang.

Before Willow? He told Liu Ming that he would not go to Yingzhou with him, and at this time, he was dismissed by the old lady about Aunt Jiang's matter, so he said: "Mother, my son told me yesterday that he wanted to stay in Boling with his grandmother and eldest sister, you see-"

The old lady Wang doesn't like Liu?, but Liu? In the end, it is the child of the Liu family, and she, like Liu Ke, is the child of the Su family, and it is not a bad thing to stay by her side to restrain her.

At that time, let Zhu bring willow? She entered Beijing because she was young and didn't understand anything, but now that she is older, she is really a little uneasy to follow Liu Ming.

Thinking of this, the old lady Wang said: "Since she is willing to stay, let's stay, anyway, Yingzhou is not very far from Boling, if you miss her, you can come back to see her at any time." ”

Liu Ming doesn't know Liu? The agreement with Liu Ke, thinking that she was angry that she took a concubine, so she didn't want to follow, and said in her heart: It's good to let her calm down in Boling, sooner or later she will understand that I am not as she thinks about Jiang.

Early the next morning, Liu Ming said goodbye to the old lady Liu Jiafu and the old lady Wang, and took Zhu, Aunt Jiang, and Liu Zhen to take office.

Liu Xu, Liu Yi, Xiao Wang, and the juniors in the family were all sent out of the gate, only the Han family thought that the owners of the various Zhuangzi had come to present the post this morning but did not come.

Liu Feng has never returned home since the last time he went to Liangyuan Village with Liu Ke to Dajue Temple.

This time, the family also ordered someone to send him a letter, but he still did not come back.

The elders in the family also knew about him, so they didn't take it to heart.

After sending Liu Ming and the others away, everyone turned around and entered the mansion one after another.

When Liu Ke came out just now, he passed by the door of the council hall and heard the discussion inside about Liangyuanzhuang, and when he came back, he deliberately walked towards this side.

At this time, the owners of the various farms had already left, and only the Han family was looking through the post.

Seeing Liu Ke walk in, he beckoned to Liu Ke and sighed: "Come and see, this autumn's entry is so much less than last year." ”

Liu Ke walked to the opposite side of Han and sat down, stretched out his hand to take the gift post handed over by Han and looked at it roughly.

Almost every Zhuangzi handed over a letter with a lower output than last year, and even if there was no reduction in production, the quantity of inferior grain was more than that of superior grain.

Liu Ke calculated carefully, and the input of high-quality grain this year was more than half less than last year.

In this way, if you cut the ones that were handed over to the imperial court and those that were sent to the second room in the capital, then there would be very little high-quality grain left in the Eastern Mansion.

Although it is said that there is a stock of grain from previous years in the house, it will not affect anything for the time being, but if it is still the case next year, the eastern government will inevitably be affected.

Liu Ke took the gift in his hand, pondered for a while and asked, "Third aunt, don't the owners of each village have a clear reason?" ”

After hearing this, Han said: "I asked, they all said that this year's drought is terrible, and the rats and insects are also strict, so the yield has been reduced, if one or two say so, it must be a lie, but they are all about it, and this year is drier than in previous years, so it can be seen that what they said is true." ”

Although Liu Ke had doubts in his heart when he heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, there is not much rain this year,

It was only after the 15th of July that a slightly heavier rain fell and stopped for a short time, and this did not necessarily affect the grain production.

The last time she went to Liangyuanzhuang, she didn't go to the farmland to have a look, and if she looked at it, she would know if what they said was true or false.

Now Liu Ke regrets that he was in a hurry last time, even if he didn't go to the farm, he should

Listening to Han Shi again: "There is another Zhuangzi that has not been delivered, I don't know what's going on, and it's not much better if I want to come." ”

At this time, Liu Ke realized that she didn't seem to see the gift of Liangyuanzhuang, and couldn't help but look through the gift in her hand again, and sure enough, Liangyuanzhuang was missing.

Liangyuan Village is closer to this than other farms, why have other farms arrived, but the owner of Liangyuan Village did not arrive?

"If there is no Liangyuan Village, could it be that something happened to the village?" Liu Ke said with doubts.

Han glanced at Liu Ke and said, "Didn't you go to Liangyuan Village a few days ago?" Didn't find anything out of the ordinary. ”

After Liu Ke heard this, he smiled at Han and said: "The third aunt also knows that I went to the Zhuangzi for less than noon and returned, and I took it to the Zhuangzi for less than an hour, and I went with a full playful heart, but when I arrived at the Zhuangzi, I had scruples, and I only picked some figs for the old lady and came back, not to mention that I found anything abnormal, but I didn't even say a few words." ”

Han retracted his eyes and chuckled: "That's right, let's wait, if the owner of Liangyuan Village hasn't arrived, we'll have to check it." ”

Liu Ke nodded yes.

It's just that I waited for three days in a row, and Liu Da didn't arrive.

Liu Ke's heart couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but it was not good to directly propose to go to Liangyuanzhuang.

On the fourth day, the owner of Liangyuan Village, Liu Da, finally arrived.

It's just that Liu Ke knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Liu Da's situation.
