Chapter 100: The Uninvited Guest
That night, the couple lay in bed. As always, we chatted about bedtime topics. Jiang Zhixuan first said that he wanted Jiang Erbo to go to the farm to be in charge of the fish pond, and he got a little strong approval. Not only that, Xiaoxiao also revealed a message that made him feel very excited:
"Husband, now our Jiang family, all rooms are thin. The uncle has only two daughters, and both of them have married far away. The second uncle also has only two cousins, Yun Feng, and both cousins are working on the farm. And in our family, now there are only you and me. Therefore, the concubine body moved a thought, I don't know what the husband wants? ”
Jiang Zhixuan half-leaned on the couch, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "Madam", what do you think about >? Let's talk about it, let the husband refer to it in detail! ”
Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "The concubine thinks, the three families will become one, and let the eldest uncle and the second uncle live on the farm!" ”
Jiang Zhixuan said strangely when he heard this: "Madam" >, other families, brothers will be separated when they become adults. Why do you do the opposite and want to be one family? ”
Xiaoxiao replied: "The husband said that the family has been divided, and it is all a farmer's family!" Husband, please look at those high-ranking families, which one is not prosperous, and which one has been separated? ”
Jiang Zhixuan recalled. It seems that in my own memory and understanding, there is really none. He shook his head honestly at the moment, and then continued to ask:
"But Madame" >, in this way, the family has a large population, will it be very chaotic? Besides, with such a big family, there should always be a head of the family, right? Few words in your mind, can there be a candidate for the head of the family? ”
Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Husband, what the concubine said about becoming a family is only a formal family." That is, to declare our Jiang family to the outside world, it is the Jiang family including the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and ourselves. The original intention of the concubine body was to make our Jiang family prosperous. As for the head of the family, now you have a reputation, and the concubine firmly believes that in the spring of three years, the husband will be able to be named on the gold list, and at that time, the husband will be the choice of the head of the family! ”
Jiang Zhixuan did not relent: "What about now?" When the three families become one, there should always be someone in charge, right? Fewer words"
Seeing that he was always screwing on this question, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Husband, now it's just a matter of letting the two uncles move to the farm, and the three families still have their own lives on weekdays, why do you have to be the head of the family?" Husband, you think, in the family of the uncle and the aunt, there are only the two elders now. The rest were more than a dozen servants. They are not young in their second year, and they live on the farm, and the concubines can often take care of them on weekdays. The same is true for the second uncle, when Cousin Yun and Qing'er get married, and after they have children, wouldn't it be good to let the four old people tease their grandchildren and enjoy the joy of family? ”
"It's naturally good to be good, but I'm afraid that my uncle won't agree to it. Today, he invited his husband to move to the farm to live, and by the way, he took care of the fish pond for the farm, and he also said that he should consider it! ”
Xiao Xiaoyan was silent for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Hehe, husband, the concubine knows what the second uncle's scruples are!" ”
"Huh?"
"Husband, you think, the second uncle is an elder, if we treat him like a farm worker, where is his face? must be upset because of this, and I can't shirk it. ”
Jiang Zhixuan thought carefully when he heard this, and nodded his head: "It must be so!" No wonder, in this case, the husband will take another free time in the past two days. Discuss with the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and ask him to move to the farm in the name of revitalizing the Jiang family, how about it? ”
Xiaoxiao smiled at him: "It's so good, it's just that I'm going to work hard for you these days, hehe!" ”
Jiang Zhixuan couldn't laugh, and stroked her hair affectionately: "Xiaoxiao, in the past year, you have run this farm and made our family's life more and more prosperous." Now I have come up with such a way to revitalize our Jiang family, compared with you, how can it be called hard to run this leg for your husband? ”
Xiaoxiao saw that he suddenly sighed again, and did not speak, so he gently buried his head in his arms, and after a long time, he raised his head again:
"Husband, the concubine thinks, take the time to go to Longzhou in the past two days, tell Qing'er about Qing'er's marriage with her mother, and take her old man over to participate in the wedding banquet by the way, and then take a look at our new house."
Jiang Zhixuan smiled dotingly: "Let's go with your husband, my mother-in-law has already asked my husband to accompany you to live in Longzhou, and I just took this opportunity to fulfill her old man's wish." ”
Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao refused: "No need, no one in the house can be in charge." Besides, don't you have to talk to two uncles about things these two days? By the way, where are the ten hectares of land newly given by His Majesty? The concubine hasn't been to see it until now! ”
Jiang Zhixuan smiled freely: "Silly girl, it is written on the holy decree that it is 'ten acres of wide land'." That's around today's farms. Stretch out ten more acres. My husband is still trying to ask you, where do you plan to extend? ”
Xiao Xiao asked in surprise, "Is that so?" The concubine still thought that it was given to our family ten hectares of official land! ”
"Hehe, now you know, right? Tell me about the husband with fewer words, where do you want to extend? The vacant land behind our house has almost been taken up by the farm. Outside the farm is an official road, and if you want to expand, you can only expand to the woods and mountains behind the farm! ”
Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart, thinking that there was official land to grow crops. I didn't expect to be able to occupy only some forests and mountains, and there were no chemical fertilizers or anything like that in these years, crops were grown in the mountains, and the harvest was extremely low. Therefore, few people want to grow crops in the mountains, and it seems that these ten hectares of land will not produce much benefit. Thinking like this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a little lost, so he said to Jiang Zhixuan listlessly:
"In that case, then the mountains and forests should each occupy five hectares!" , and then suddenly remembered something, and came to some spirit: "By the way, there are still dozens of acres of vacant land outside the farm, and those must be occupied." "In Xiaoxiao's opinion, the mountains are also good. Whether it's woodland or not, let's pull these lands under the name of Jiangfu first. As for what to do with it in the future, it is up to you to decide, and you don't have to worry about anyone from the government taking the title deed to find trouble. At that time, if you want to plant melons and beans, you can do whatever you want!
Jiang Zhixuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her waving her little fist excitedly. But there was a slight sour feeling in his heart: his beloved wife cares about these things so much, it's not for his Jiang family! Thinking like this, he hugged her tighter.
On the second day, Xiaoxiao was very busy, and after getting up in the morning, he asked Yao Shan to go to the town to ask the tailor to come back and cut and make clothes for the Jiang family. She had planned to do this two days before. But later, because I was worried about my husband's affairs, it was delayed. He also asked Yao Hai to go to the county seat to hire a carriage, and prepared to leave for Longzhou in the afternoon, send brocade to his father-in-law, and pick up his mother by the way to attend Qing'er's wedding banquet.
After arranging these things, he hurried to the farm and found Qing'er, who had been hiding from people for the past two days. Let her go back to Jiangfu, and the tailor will first tailor a wedding dress and an auspicious dress for her. He also arranged for Jiang Feng to be fully responsible for the affairs of the farm in the near future, and if there was anything unclear or difficult to decide, he would go to Jiang Yun again. After all, these days, Jiang Yun also needs to make some preparations, such as dowry, new house decoration and so on.
The marriage of ordinary people is not as cumbersome as that of the emperor's relatives. In addition, Qing'er and Jiang Yun have already been in love, so the three gifts of Najib in the six ceremonies are omitted, and Jiang Yun and Jiang Erbo also need to complete the three ceremonies of recruitment, invitation, and greeting. That is, the three steps of giving a dowry, setting a date, and marrying the bride.
The two steps of accepting the levy and asking for the deadline were handed over to the husband and Jiang Erbo to complete in the few days when Xiaoxiao went to Longzhou. After all, no matter what, the husband is the head of the family. When Xiaoxiao picks up his stepmother and returns from Longzhou, he can complete the last step of welcoming his relatives.
After arranging the affairs of the farm, it was noon again when I returned to the house. The tailor invited back by Yao Shan had already measured the figures of everyone in the house, just waiting for her to come back. After measuring the figure and taking out the brocade, the tailor was in the house, making clothes on the spot. This is a long-term job, so many people's clothes, it will take at least seven or eight days to finish, Xiaoxiao will not pay attention to this stubble for the time being.
After lunch, Yao Hai rushed back from the county seat with a carriage. Xiaoxiao asked the Yao brothers to load the brocade to be given to their stepmother into the car, took the beard into the carriage, and Yao Hai drove towards Longzhou.
After a little walk. All the burdens of the Jiang Mansion and the Jiang Family Farm were pressed on Jiang Zhixuan. Just on the second day of Xiaoxiao's departure, the farm should deliver goods to Ruyi Restaurant according to the usual practice. In the past, Jiang Yun should have been in charge of this work, but now Jiang Yun is busy with his lifelong happiness and has no time. Jiang Zhixuan had no choice but to let Jiang Feng replace him and go to deliver the goods first. Fortunately, Jiang Feng is also quite flexible, and he has been the head of the pig farm for so long in Aixiao Farm, so he has cultivated some temperament.
Unexpectedly, this afternoon, after Jiang Feng returned from delivering goods from the county seat, he brought back an uninvited guest. Of course, this is only an uninvited guest for Jiang Zhixuan. Because what Jiang Feng brought back was the last time he delivered the goods at Ruyi Restaurant, he fell in love with Xiaoxiao at first sight and admired the young proprietor of Jingshi Zuiyue Building, Zhu Fugui!
Of course, Jiang Zhixuan didn't know that the guy in front of him was actually his rival! Or a guy who once wanted to pry into his corner, he heard people claiming to be businessmen, but he didn't mean to disdain it in the slightest. Instead, he politely welcomed him into the house, and when Qing'er served tea, he politely asked the other party's name and intention.
Since the first time they met, Zhu Fugui has been carefully observing the husband of the woman in front of him, Xie Yuangong, who he admired. At first glance, this Xie Yuangong gives people a feeling of spring breeze; Knowing that he was a businessman, he did not show the slightest contempt, but politely welcomed himself into the mansion and served tea to the guests; This cultivation alone made his heart break.
As the most famous restaurant owner in Beijing, there are countless rich and noble people. At this time, seeing this face like a crown of jade, Xie Yuangong, who has a gentle temperament, can't help but feel a little ashamed of himself. Finally wiped out all the unrealistic fantasies at the end, and calmly and politely said what he meant!
