Chapter 219: Happiness
Sending away Fan Liyang and Fan Chongyang was particularly turbulent, especially Fan Liyang's two uncles, who went to the government to sue Xiao Yuchen for wanting to make a career and dominate the property.
They also inquired and knew that the Xiao family was in decline now, and there was no way to take them.
When Wen Jin's winery had an accident, Xiao Yuchen also rushed to deal with it, where he met Shi Qihou Shiren, he saw that the other party helped his sister wholeheartedly, and he was extremely sincere in doing things to others, so he had special respect and gratitude to the Shi family.
Xiao Yuchen returned to Fan's house, the Shi family still came over from time to time, naturally, most of them were Shi Yaozong, he now has a father who is always strong, and his mother in the inner courtyard presides over the overall situation, he has no ability and no place to make it, so he walks around when he has nothing to do, especially with Xiao Yuchen, Xiao Yuchen is sensible and can understand people's hearts, he is bold and righteous, the two cherish each other, and soon become friends.
Hearing that the officials of Shigang County couldn't get along with Xiao Yuchen, Shi Yaozong couldn't help it, he was not familiar with the magistrate of Shigang County, but the prefect of Heping Ling Mansion knew each other, and after finding out the affairs of the Fan family, Shi Yaozong quickly went to Pingling.
The fifth prince of the Pingling prefect and Shi Yaozong are of the same age, and they have played together, Shi Yaozong thinks he is sloppy, and tries to distance himself as much as possible on weekdays, but he didn't expect that this time, he actually met on the street, and as soon as the other party asked what happened, Shi Yaozong couldn't help but say it. Some people bully men and women and do all kinds of evil, but this child from the Pingling prefect is so showy, he immediately went to find the magistrate of Shigang County with Shi Yaozong.
"Yaozong, don't bother my father about this matter, the magistrate of Shigang visited my house during the New Year, and specially asked me to go to his place to play, saying that there is a kind of fish in Shigang, which is extremely delicious, and I haven't tasted it yet."
Shigang Zhixian can ignore the Xiao family, but he doesn't dare to take the Shi family seriously, in the entire Pingling Mansion, who doesn't know that Shi Zhenzong is the emperor's trusted military attachΓ©? Besides, with the prefect's son, if he continues to bend the law for personal gain, and his boss sends it to the ministry, he won't be able to wear this black gauze hat.
Fan Liyang's biological mother and two younger brothers sued Xiao Yuchen, at first everyone in the county knew, but in the end they hid and didn't dare to see people, Xiao Yuchen successfully cleared out the mother's family of Fan Liyang and Fan Chongyang's two biological mothers, and then sent the two of them to study in other places. turned around to clean up the two aunts who stirred up the wind and rain.
Fan Liyang's biological mother's style of acting belongs to the kind of way of saying good things and coaxing people, she saw that she couldn't screw Xiao Yuchen, and immediately made a 180-degree turn, first admitting her mistake outside Fan Yuan, and then crying to Xiao Yuchen to admit her mistake, saying that she shouldn't have listened to her brother and did something wrong, she will definitely serve her master well in the future, and she will never dare to do it again, Fan Chongyang's biological mother watched coldly, admitting that she hadn't done anything wrong, even if Xiao Yuchen settled accounts after the autumn, she shouldn't involve herself.
Xiao Yuchen solicited Fan's opinion, and suddenly attacked the mother-in-law of the family and put the two of them under house arrest in the Zhuangzi of the Fan family.
For more than a year, Xiao Yuchen has almost always dealt with the government, has rich knowledge and experience, and has become more and more mature and stable.
Xiao Yi was very proud to see his son so good, although he was reluctant to let his son go, but thinking that his son could have today, it was all the credit of Fan Yuanwai, so he had to let go and let his son go to Fan's house to repay his kindness.
"Daddy, I've heard a lot of things about my sister in Shanyang, if you treat your sister as an ordinary deep and weak girl, it will be a waste of my sister's good skills."
"Alas, the water spilled by the married daughter is not easy for the father to interfere with."
"Then, what if Brother Jin really locked his sister in the house?"
"If your sister is willing to be locked up in the house, you can say anything, but if your sister is not willing, Daddy will say something to help. Don't worry, your brother-in-law thinks more about your sister than any of us, and he definitely doesn't want your sister to be wronged. β
"Uh-huh, I see."
The two were chatting, and the next person came to report: "Grandpa and grandma have arrived!" β
There are only a few people in the Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao arranged two tables of wine and food, Xiao Yi, Shen Mingxi and her son and son-in-law had a table, and invited two henchmen to accompany her, Mrs. Xiao here, she didn't like outsiders to disturb, so she and Wen Jin, and then enjoyed Chunming and Xiayang and the other two maids and the old mother Qiushuang, Holly, and Huo's mother a table of dishes.
The people of the Xiao family heard that their aunt and grandmother were married, and the Jin family was very precious, and even a few people who were waiting for them were also leisurely, comfortable and powerful, and they were very envious.
Mrs. Xiao saw Wen Jin's look, and knew that she was doing very well, and the original questions were all waived, and she discussed the topic of cooking with her: "You dried a lot of dried vegetables last year, I used some this time, how about you taste it?" β
"Yes, Ni Lan's family is becoming more and more capable, and this kitchen is well managed."
"Well, I still listened to your suggestion and asked her to follow, sure enough."
"Madam, you are wrong, you let Ni Lan's family follow, I didn't say it." Wen Jin hurriedly corrected.
"That's because you praised this person twice in front of me, and I only took care to observe, and the credit for this today is yours."
"I've praised Ah Lai countless times, why don't you let me follow?"
Mrs. Xiao sighed: "If you want Ah to come over, you have to bring their family here, isn't her daughter about to give birth?" My grandson is small, I really can't give up, and I have to give it up if I can't bear it. β
"I know that Madame has a good heart."
"Alas!" Mrs. Xiao sighed, "What's the use of having a good heart." β
Wen Jin didn't know why she was so depressed, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so she had to change the topic: "Didn't Madam not like eating this shrimp ball before?" β
"Ni Lan's family didn't know who said that garlic fried was delicious, so I tried it, and I liked this garlic."
"Hehe, then, give a reward to Ni Lan's family and the cook in a while, and let them make more delicious food for Madame."
Mrs. Xiao nodded, but her mood was still a little not very high, Wen Jin was very strange, she could feel that Mrs. Xiao was welcoming her home, but she had something on her mind to make her look like this.
What's on your mind?
After lunch, Mrs. Xiao arranged for Wen Jin to rest, Wen Jin was not tired, and quietly called Ni Lan's house while she was taking a nap.
"What's on Madame's mind?"
"I don't know if I'm young, I probably don't want my aunt to get married, and my emotions have been wilting these days."
"But when I came back today, she was also a little absent-minded, and said, 'What's the use of being a good person', what did it stimulate her?"
Ni Lan's family blinked, still couldn't think of it, she called the maid Qiu Ju again, the two discussed for a long time, Qiu Ju said with some uncertainty: "Yesterday, Lord Shen came to visit, and Grandpa Guo got along very well, Grandpa Guo came back, and asked Mrs. to prepare gifts, saying that Lord Shen had a middle-aged child, which was very difficult, and Mrs. had red circles under her eyes at that time, I don't know why." β
Both Ni Lan's family and Wen Jin knew why, and the two looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort them.
Mrs. Shen Mingxi can still be pregnant at the age of thirty-one, and she has a man in one fell swoop, and the mother and child are safe, this news stimulated Mrs. Xiao, she is also a woman, a capable and kind woman, and naturally hopes that she can have a child, and thinks that she should have a child.
Wen Jin is married, and Xiao Yuchen is not in the house, Xiao Yi will definitely show regret about the emptiness under his knees, and Mrs. Xiao's desire for a child is even more urgent.
"Alas!" Wen Jin sighed, it would be nice if it was in the capital, those imperial doctors are all top masters, and now it is a wild place, and it is difficult to see even a good doctor.
Wen Jin secretly planned in his heart that if Qian Jun went out to walk around again, let him find a way to invite a gynecology expert to come over.
Wen Jin returned to the Jin family in the evening, reported to the second elder, and caught up for dinner, she was a little embarrassed, but Grandma Jin didn't seem to feel it, and was still very enthusiastic about her, Wen Jin was slightly more relaxed and more respectful to Grandma Jin. She was originally a person who respected me, I respected people, and in the later relationship, she respected this fake mother-in-law very much, and Grandma Jin was overjoyed to see that her daughter-in-law did not have the posture of her mother's family, and she was not hypocritical.
The climate is already hot, not long after the New Year, the willow branches sprouted, and green and fluffy weeds also emerged on the ground, much earlier than the spring in the north, Wen Jin's honeymoon is really very pleasant, don't worry about anything, you are a rice worm, and her husband cares for her every day, especially Qian Jun talks about sweet words, which is also a master, which often makes Wen Jin smile from ear to ear.
The mulberry seedlings planted last year have sprouted, and in the winter they have built a reservoir on the top of the mountain and the connected irrigation canals and drainage ditches, and when spring arrives, the rain increases, and the Jin family has to hire people to patrol the canals to prevent them from being washed out, and they must also pay attention to the moisture situation, neither can the water be flooded, and the seedlings can not be drought, and Jin Guanshan alone can not be busy. Qian Jun took the initiative to help and rode around on horseback, he was afraid that Wen Jin would be too bored in the house, so he asked the second elder of the Jin family to ask if he could take Wen Jin out for a walk, and he said for a very good reason: "Mother, no matter how delicate Jin'er was, now that she marries into our family, she naturally has to learn to be a farmer's daughter-in-law, how can she succeed if she doesn't even know Sang Miao?" β
Grandma Jin used to be a woman in the mansion, but every spring, she had to help men take care of some mulberry garden affairs, especially after the flood, she was displaced, and she didn't know how much she suffered, these experiences made her think that women are always locked in the house, which is not a good thing for this family and herself, she has already helped men deal with outside affairs, so naturally she will not have to lock Wen Jin at home. What's more, she was already very tolerant of Wen Jin.
Qian Jun saw that Grandma Jin nodded in agreement, and gave her a big smile very happily, and Grandma Jin was immediately overjoyed. Her son has been lost for many years, and he already has some hysteria, and he can't see it in other aspects, in front of Qian Jun, it will be a little unpleasant, she can't see Qian Jun have a trace of unhappiness, and when she sees Qian Jun smiling, her emotions will be a little excited.
Since that day, Wen Jin often rides a tame old horse, hangs a handkerchief to cover half of her face, and walks outside with Qian Jun.
When the mulberry leaves grow to the size of copper coins, Grandma Jin begins to grow silkworm seeds.
On a piece of white cotton paper, about a few millimeters away, there was a silkworm, black and black, less than a millimeter in diameter, Wen Jin watched curiously as Grandma Jin folded the cotton paper into a cloth bag one by one, and distributed it to the maids at home, asking them to put the cloth bag on their chests to warm up.
There are no greenhouses, no incubators, and people with thermostatic animals have replaced those equipment at this time.
At this time, the women at home are particularly busy, to clean and expose the woven bamboo plaques, but also to spread cotton paper, ready to be the home of the silkworms, several large silkworm gardens have been built in front of the mountain, inside is a row of silkworm houses, clean inside, disinfected with lime, and then use bamboo poles to build a layer of shelves, put the bamboo plaques on it.
The silkworm will start to eat as soon as it is born, and when it comes to ten days and eleven days, the servant will carefully open the cotton bag, Wen Jin is curious to see, the silkworm is as big as an ant, black and black, crawling everywhere on the cotton paper, Grandma Jin taught the servant to use the boiled chicken feather to brush the silkworm into the small wooden box, the wooden box has holes in it, probably afraid of suffocating the silkworm to death. Mulberry leaves are picked from the tree, cut into thin silk, sprinkled in the box, the silkworm looks very small, the small mouth can really eat, and after a while, I saw a hole in the leaf, and its small body was exposed from the hole.
The silkworm grew very fast, and when I looked at it the next day, it was already a big circle, Wen Jin also asked for a box of silkworms and began to raise them, Grandma Jin was a little worried, but she didn't say anything.
Spring, summer, sun, autumn, and holly, I have never seen these, five women, every day with their heads on their heads, watching the silkworms eat mulberry leaves.
On the eighth day, the silkworms looked very wilted one by one, and they didn't eat well, which was completely different from the sleepless eating a few days ago, Xia Yang was the first to find out about this problem, and she was very anxious, Wen Jin came, she said with some concern: "Young grandma, are you eating?" Why didn't you move? β
Wen Jin smiled: "If you want to eat, it's one or two to eat, how can you eat this box?" This is going to be dormant, and when you wake up, this layer of skin on the body will recede, become white, and the grandmother will receive it together, put it in the garden to raise, in the future, sleep once every seven days, and after each time there will be a plaque, don't look at how much there is now, when the time comes, there will be more than a plaque, a silkworm knot and a cocoon, and a few cars can not be pulled up. β
Qian Jun was in the outhouse, listening to Wen Jin muttering to reason with the maid, not only was he dumbfounded, he didn't know where Wen Jin heard it, he was selling it here, and he didn't know if what Wen Jin said was right.
The little girl that the Jin family gave to Qian Jun was a silkworm raiser, and he was very surprised to say to his master: "Did the young grandmother's family also have a silkworm village before?" I know quite a bit. β
"Is Grandma right?" Qian Jun asked.
"yes, yes."
Qian Jun was surprised.
After the head sleep, Grandma Jin sent all the silkworms to the manor, and the rough maids of the family also went over to help, even herself, and went to check every day.
Silkworm keepers work very hard, almost all of them work around the clock to feed the silkworms and clean up the garbage they produce. Silkworm babies are very delicate, there can be no trace of unclean, and they can't be hungry, feed at any time, clean at any time, it's really not idle. Silkworms are very delicate, can not be caught by hand, every time the bamboo plaque is cleaned, put the mulberry leaves and branches into it, take advantage of the silkworm baby greedy, the mulberry branch is gently picked up, put into another clean bamboo plaque, so two or three times, a bamboo plaque of the silkworm baby will all be poured into another bamboo plaque.
Wen Jin saw the workers in the silkworm orchard collecting the silkworm garbage, silkworm sand, that is, their poop, and sending it outside the silkworm orchard to dry. Qian Jun is now learning and selling, and said to Wen Jin: "This is a good thing, remove the mulberry leaf debris and leaf stalks sticky on it, and dry it, it is a medicinal material, which has the effect of cooling and awakening the brain and lowering blood pressure, and is suitable for making pillows." β
"You don't need that much to make pillows."
Qian Jun smiled embarrassedly, he had seen so much in the book, and he couldn't say what the rest of the silkworm sand was for, he stopped a busy worker and asked, the man saw the young master asking, and hurriedly replied: "Silkworm sand can still be used in medicine, and now the road is too far, there is no medicine shop to collect it, and it can also be used as feed." Feed the pigs and ducks. β
"Oh." Qian Jun nodded and waved his hand to let the man leave.
"Xianggong, if you go out again, ask us a doctor here, preferably a gynecological holy hand......"
Qian Jun thought about it, and without waiting for Wen Jin to finish speaking, he asked anxiously, "Where are you uncomfortable?" He also looked around, saw that there was no one around, and asked in a low voice, "Is it because of me?" β
Wen Jin's face turned red all of a sudden, and she glared angrily: "I know and ask!" β
Qian Jun's eyes immediately felt extremely guilty, and he promised in a low voice: "I, I, never like that again-" After that, he was really light on Wen Jin, and he obviously couldn't enjoy it every time, but he tried his best to endure it, and even Wen Jin was not satisfied after a few times, so he told the truth, it was for Mrs. Xiao.
Qian Junru was amnestied, and finally vented happily, causing Wen Jin to not be able to go out for the next two days. Wen Jin found out that Qian Jun's physique was many times stronger than her, and the next day after each time, she was exhausted and couldn't even move, but he was alive and vigorous, as if he had eaten fairy fruit, and his spirit was full of energy. Shen Mingxi arrived at ***, at the beginning, Qian Jun was with his uncle almost every day, listening to him tell stories about his childhood, and sometimes discussing the current situation and future with his uncle, but after getting married, he couldn't pull out all of a sudden, and Shen Mingxi just scolded "stinky boy", so he played chess with Xiao Yi every day, or went out to play with a few followers alone. He is a talented person, not only does he read the Four Books and Five Classics well, but also reads more than 10,000 books such as poetry and history, especially when he has traveled south and north over the years, and has extensive knowledge, he pointed out in a word that the social pattern of soldiers and disaster victims here is the most prone to turmoil, and Xiao Yi should step up his efforts to supervise his subordinates and build a complete village and town joint security system.
