Chapter 111: Scattered chaff

Chen Shuangchuan could only smile bitterly and said: "They are all the emperor's people, so naturally they want to face the emperor and the queen."

Lu Sufen also felt that she was a little speechless, so she hurriedly changed the topic.

This is the first time He Xian has been a guest to live in someone's house, it is very fresh, and at first he can barely press his temperament, and he follows very obediently, just open his eyes wide, and after a while, his original form will be revealed, pestering Lu Sufen to ask where the little doll is.

Chen Shuangchuan was still about to talk about him, but Lu Sufen laughed and asked the maid to take He Zhu to see it, Chen Shuangchuan had to say: "You can't scare the little sister with a huff."

Although he has retaken over the power of the General's Mansion, there is still a Granny Li above. Since Chen Shuangchuan is here, he always has to say hello, but this time Chen Shuangchuan is prepared for a gift, and there is no need to be rude as the last time he was in a hurry to send silver bills directly.

Li Powu's attitude was a little light, and she didn't talk to her very well, so she could only withdraw after a few words.

Lu Sufen smiled and said: "I told you, she only loves money, and she doesn't know how to give good things."

Chen Shuangchuan quietly slapped her hand and said, "You mouth, beware of being heard, it's another right and wrong."

Although living in Zhuangzi is pure, sometimes it is too clean, very deserted, after living in the general's mansion, there are many people in the capital, and I watched Chen Shuangchuan be rewarded by Queen Tong. It is inevitable that some people want to come up to set up a relationship, Chen Shuangchuan only pretended not to know, it was not very popular, and it was a guest house, and he was low-key for a while, and these guests gradually decreased a lot.

Because he wanted to return to his hometown because of his old age, the master who used to teach also resigned, He Zhu was still young, He Ruyu was getting older, and he also had some requirements for the master, and he didn't find a suitable one for a while.

He first memorized a poem, practiced a few big characters, and then taught He Ruyu Nuhong to cook, and when he was free, he went to tease the little girl of the Li family to play, and the life was very leisurely.

There are also letters sent from the west occasionally, and the war naturally can't be written, and He Jinbao is not a careful person, so there are only a few sentences in the palm of the time, such as everything is okay and don't read it.

But Chen Shuangchuan looked a little complaining, why didn't he know how to write two more prisons.

General Li's letter to his family is much more detailed than He Jinbao's, and many things were relayed to her by Lu Sufen.

The place of Suizhou is very different from the capital, almost all of them are a sand and gravel beach, few trees and little water, and the yellow sand is rolling to cover the sky and the sun when the wind blows, a desolate scene.

Sure enough, it is the same as what Chen Shuang heard here, the heat during the day can dry people out of a layer of salt, and when it is dark, it is cold and shivering.

Except for a few officers, most of the soldiers below were born bitterly, although they were paid, after all, they were all linen and cotton clothes, which could not block much cold, and they were miserable.

The most comfortable person to wear is about He Jinbao, his cotton jacket is made by Chen Xuechuan with heart, the cotton wool is full, the wind is not permeable at all, it is warm, and he is so envious that General Li's eyes are about to burst out, and he insists on asking for a piece of the past before it counts.

The weather here is bad, the terrain is complicated, and the rebel Tang Changning is a cunning man, this battle is very difficult, and he has no choice but to settle down, although there is no great merit, but it is also a victory.

In the letter, General Li praised the padded jacket greatly, saying that the linen and cotton were much warmer. (Lu oqiu.) Just read the book,)

Although it is a rapid change on the battlefield, this letter to the capital has taken about two months, but with the news, after all, he is more at ease, and Chen Shuangchuan is a little relieved.

After living in the General's Mansion for a month or two, it was time to pay the rent, although some people watched, after all, they were still not very relieved, so Chen Shuangchuan resigned and went home.

This rent payment and rent collection, and the newly bought land had to be rented out, which was a pity, and it was enough for Lu Shuang to work for several days before he got things done.

Looking back at this, the rice harvested, all kinds of melons and fruits were piled up in the warehouse, only to let Chen Shuang get rid of his worries, when should he eat it. I could only call Liu Dashan over and say, "Let's go and find a grain store to sell some, and in the coming year, only a few acres of land will be kept, and the rest will be paid with silver money."

This matter was decided for the time being, and the specific articles of association had to be carefully thought about by Chen Shuangchuan and sign a lease with the tenant again.

After collecting the rent, Chen Shuang picked out some fresh melons and fruits, and sent them to the good families according to the rules, and received their return gifts one after another, and always felt that this year was going to be opened in advance.

Soon, the matter of cotton was also lost, and the imperial court came forward to form an agricultural department, which was under the household department to take care of these things.

Although Chen Shuangchuan didn't go to see it, Queen Tong sent a little eunuch to follow Chen Shuangchuan to inquire about cotton in detail. He also said that the agricultural scriptures that were all studying the commentary on the old frost were simmering, and the wheat they planted there grew well, and the cotton was probably cultivated by them before it could be distributed to all places.

It's a good thing after all, Chen Shuang is wise, since there is a court coming forward, then Jiangnan is afraid that it will not be able to monopolize cotton, and this price is afraid that it will be greatly reduced, just like Ning Liang said. It's much cheaper than silk.

This year's new cotton was also harvested, and after Chen Shuang peeled off the cotton, only a small part of the seeds were left for next year's own planting, and the rest of the trustees were handed over to the Yamen of the Agricultural Division.

After this matter is over, the He family has another happy event, Liu Dashan is going to get married.

Since the early years, Liu Dashan has been in the He family, Chen Shuangchuan and He Jinbao have not treated him as an outsider, originally thought that he was about the same age, and he should be talking about family affairs, but Liu Dashan is a shy person, and he refuses to open his mouth no matter how he asks.

Waiting for these things to be done, Chen Shuangchuan thought that Chunhong would be seventeen this year, although she was reluctant, but if she was afraid that she would be an old girl, she would want to marry a good person.

When he said it at the time, Chunhong just ran away with a red face and shyness, who would have thought that two days later, Liu Dashan would rub his big hands uncomfortably and stumble towards Chen Shuang and beg Chunhong.

Chen Shuangchuan is quite strange, the last time she also mentioned Chunhong to Liu Da, he didn't agree at that time, why did he suddenly change his mind, and only after asking did he know that Liu Dashan saw Chen Shuangchuan stay in Chunhong until now, I was afraid that it was specially left for He Jinbao, but he didn't dare to respond, and later I understood that Chen Shuangchuan was not that kind of person, so he had the courage to beg.

Chen Shuangchuan smiled and said, "If you want to think about marrying a relative, hurry up and say it, so that it will be lively and lively."

This made everyone in the room laugh, Chunhong had already fled in shame, and Liu Dashan's face was even more red as if it was about to burn.

Chunhong and Liu Dashan both have no fathers and mothers, and this family affair was almost handled by Chen Shuangchuan single-handedly, and he called the tenants nearby, but he also got together for more than a dozen tables, and it was also lively.

When I waited for the evening, there were only a few of them, because there were few people, and there were no rules, all of them sat in groups, and they made a fuss for a while, which made Liu Xiao's face flushed and his steps were vain.

Chen Shuangchuan specially left Chunhong down, wrapped some gold and silver jewelry for her, and took out the deed of sale and returned it to Chunhong.

Chunhong only called out to Mrs. in a trembling voice.

Chen Shuangchuan said: "After getting married, you will live a good life, and you can't give birth to a child and go to his inferior."

Although Chunhong returned her freedom, she didn't go away, Liu Dashan was still the caretaker, and Chunhong could also help Chen Shuangchuan take care of some Zhuangzi's affairs.

At the end of the year, Chen Caichun also asked someone to send some dried fish and local products, the letter was written by He Jinyuan, half of it was Chen Caichun's chattering parents, and the other half was about the He family, Mrs. He also sent someone to collect the old industry, re-measured the field, and scraped away a lot of He Jinbao's share.

He Jinyuan is also not good at theorizing about this matter, so he can only say it in detail, waiting for He Jinbao to say it himself.

Chen Shuangchuan knew that this place was about to come back, and when the mud fought with him for her, although it was a last resort, He Jinbao was a filial person, and he was afraid that he was very guilty in his heart, and he would definitely not care about these things with Mrs. He.

It's just that if it's just like that, I'm afraid that it will be more arrogant in the future, Chen Shuangchuan thought about it, it is better to sell it, and buy a few acres, how can it be separated from the land over there. (Lu oqiu.) Just read the book,)

Because He Jinbao is not at home, it is not easy to make decisions about this matter just Chen Shuang ~~ , so he can only write to He Jinyuan and ask him to help pay attention to it first, and then start to do it when He Jinbao is ready.

Speaking of the letter, it seems that He Jinbao has not written for more than two months, and Chen Shuangchuan thought that the person had forgotten it carelessly. Taking the opportunity of the New Year's greetings, I specially asked Lu Sufen, who would have thought that even General Li had no news. Chen Shuangchuan knew that things were not very good, General Li was the commander of this western expedition, if even he failed to send any news, then it could only be that the battle situation over there was severe, and even reached a life-and-death juncture.

Seeing that Chen Shuang's face was not very good, Lu Sufen smiled bitterly and said, "You have to get used to it."

No matter how much you worry, it's useless, Chen Shuangchuan can only restrain his mind, try not to think about it, but he will feel better.

Just after the first lunar month, after a few months of searching, Renyazi finally brought a female master, saying that he was released from the palace and taught countless famous ladies.

Seeing that the master was a little arrogant, Chen Shuangchuan was a little disliked, originally thinking that it should be Fang Zhenma's best, but Fang Zhenzhen was old after all, and her health had become worse and worse in the past two years, and Chen Shuangchuan didn't dare to bother her with these things anymore.
