Chapter 228
In fact, to be honest, the royal family's tolerance of Lin Baozhu now is not only due to Zhang Manho, but also because of Lin Baozhu's indifference to the situation in the court. [Full text reading. It can even be said that in the emperor's secret report, this woman did not bother to work on other major matters except for Peachtree Bay and business.
That's probably the case, the emperor is even more wary of everyone, if Zhang Manchu's invincible general, with a very smart woman, I am afraid that there will be different hearts. But now it seems that he is too worried.
So after knowing Lin Baozhu's plan to enter the palace to see the queen and then return to his hometown, he had nothing to do. In addition, a team of forbidden army guards was also given to send them all the way.
Because of the affairs of the Mobei rebels, the emperor did not seal his pen until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and after the twenty-eighth month of the lunar month, he began to bless. This is also a rule of the past, it stands to reason that in previous years it was the beginning of the first month of the month, the emperor needed to write "Fu" in the inner court in person, in addition to the first "Fu" word to be hung in the Qianqing Palace, the rest should be posted to the palace and other places, naturally, will also give some to the harem concubines. After that, the blessings written will be rewarded to the close ministers and important ministers.
It's just that the war is tense this year, and it wasn't until the 28th of the lunar month that he was able to spare time to bless. In addition to the use in the palace, the first blessing word was sent to the Rui Wangfu as expected, and then it was sent to Zhang's house in Taoshuwan quickly.
This is also an exception, you need to know that in previous years, if the emperor wanted to bless outside the capital, most of them were feudal officials, and all the way to a small village in the mountains was a unique thing.
And Lin Baozhu, who returned to Peachtree Bay, except that there were guards and forbidden troops around the courtyard, his usual days were no different from the past. Originally, even the people who were working in Zhang Ji with the village were frightened when they saw the group of people patrolling or holding sabers and weapons, but after a long time, they also found that as long as they didn't have bad intentions, people would automatically ignore them, so they slowly calmed down, and even the aunts of the workshop would take the initiative to stay and help cook. After all, there are too many people, even if those people set up camp on the edge of the tea mountain, they can't stand the same amount of food as buckets.
And Lin Baozhu's return this time shocked not only the people of Pthamow Bay, but even the county magistrate brought people to order every day. In fact, in his realm, there has really not been a grandfather of the country, let alone a first-class lady. If it is calculated according to the grade, he saw Lin Baozhu, but he still had to bow and bow.
Now Peachtree Bay is not the same as before, not only Lin Baozhu, the wife of the decree, returned to her hometown, so that the county lord sent people to repair the road and clean it up early, and even replaced the small stone monument at the entrance of the village with a magnificent archway and stone carving. What's more, in the winter, everyone in Peachtree Bay still has a job. Of course, the original food workshop was directly expanded after Lin Baozhu left and Zhang Ji entered the capital and was favored.
Therefore, every household in the village has income, and some women in the nearby villages who know the bottom line can also come to find a rough job to do.
As the business expanded again and again, Lin Baozhu became more and more aware of the importance of decentralization. There are three sets of accounts on the left and right tea houses, food workshops and river flats, which do not interfere with each other, and each has someone to manage, so naturally she rarely interferes in whether it is employment or business.
Now it seems that the effect is really good.
So she returned to her hometown, in addition to pondering some food every day, she wandered around the village. Of course, she was really surprised for a long time when she saw the out-of-season vegetable shed that was pounded up by Wang Dakui and Gouyu, so she always likes to go over and take a look during the day.
Because she is pregnant now, and Zhang Manchu is not around, plus there are people around her to serve everything, and even cooking is Qiu Niang and Cui's sister-in-law Zhang Luo, so for a while, she has nothing to do except raise the fetus with peace of mind.
Fortunately, although she has been gone for more than two months, the people in the village are not very unfamiliar with her. Even if I was afraid at the beginning, but after a long time of contact, I found that it had become a lady who only existed in the play, and even the county lord had to grovel to the orb of salute, and it really didn't change much, and it was still so kind and easy to speak. So, the big guy also breathed a sigh of relief, and from time to time he would take some rare items at home and send them over.
And Zhang Xiuniang's family came to eat with her from time to time, and then took advantage of the fact that they didn't have to keep an eye on the work in the workshop now, and chatted with Lin Baozhu about gossip.
And the eldest girl is with Hongmei, gathering around the older Zhaodi and Qingqing, and learning to embroider some beautiful patterns. The life is peaceful and comfortable, and the beauty is very good.
Because of Lin Baozhu's return, Gou Yu and Wang Dakui also specially opened a small place to raise some flowers and plants with silver charcoal, thinking that they could make Lin Baozhu happier every day. And the out-of-season vegetable shed is now not only for Zhang Ji's main family gòng yīng fresh vegetables and fruits, but even by the county and state towns some wealthy restaurants have been settled early. Just waited for those green vegetables and fruits to grow, and sent them to the back kitchen of the restaurant overnight, and there was no counteroffer at all.
It's not that those restaurants are all wronged, but in the winter, there are too few fresh things, and fresh ingredients that only exist in spring and autumn suddenly appear, which are much more expensive than meat. Not to mention that they are squeezing their heads and rushing to buy, that is, they don't take the initiative to climb the relationship, I'm afraid that other companies will also buy at a high price.
So at the beginning, Zhang Ji let Zhang Ji spend money to let the dog and Wang Dakui waste the bottomless pit of the silver experiment, everyone shook their heads and said that it was whimsical, and even Mei Ying's sister-in-law, who had been afraid that her son would be messy, cheated Baozhu silver and asked her son to give birth to a little more peace, was shocked and had nothing to say at this time.
Later, when Lin Baozhu came back to talk about it, although Mei Ying's sister-in-law was proud, she was still a little embarrassed. At the beginning, she didn't think that her son had a bad conscience, and she didn't know how many broom knots she had broken up.
"Sister-in-law, the dog is a good one, don't say that he is something I grew up watching, even if I look at the virtue of you and your sister-in-law's family, I can trust him. He's your son, can you still not understand? Don't dare to do it again in the future, beware of hurting the child" No matter how you say it, the dog is only a teenager. In fact, according to Mei Ying's sister-in-law and Mrs. Lu's thoughts, I wanted him to follow Mr. in the private school to read and write, and he would also take the top exam in the future. But I don't want to, as soon as the stinky boy says that he is studying, he will have thorns on his buttocks, and he can't sit still for half a moment. But now, seeing that he has figured out a lot of Taoism, coupled with Liu Jincai's champion from time to time to persuade him, his family has never forced him to study again.
Mei Ying's sister-in-law pulled the needle and thread on the side, and then sighed and said: "Baozhu, you don't know, you were no longer at that time, and I can't control him, I'm really afraid that he will break the material." Not to mention anything else, you treat our family well, and I'm really afraid that I won't have the face to see you, so I'm going to take it a little harder. ”
With that said, naturally there will be nothing to do. was originally a real cropper, and there were not so many twists and turns, and he thought of what to say. Even if there was still some awe a few days ago, but when you really sit together and talk, it is considered ordinary chatter.
I have to say that firstly, Lin Baozhu does not have the habit of holding the shelf, and secondly, he is really a simple and honest peasant family, although he will be in awe of the official wife, but in fact, in their hearts, they don't have a clear concept of those official wives, especially when they meet someone like Lin Baozhu who doesn't care about their identity at all, even more so. After coming and going, they regained their former eagerness with each other.
The days go by, because of the last war against the Huns, he hadn't written a letter to his family for a long time, so his daughter-in-law had been worried about it for so long, so Zhang Manchu was a little free this time, and he would ask Zhu Neng to write some words on his behalf. Of course, if there is a truce between the two sides, he will also say a few crooked words to himself, just waiting for an opportunity to send it back when he returns the letter.
In the blink of an eye, winter turned to spring, and in March, the weather became warmer and warmer. And more than a year after the private school opened, there are no more illiterate people in Peachtree Bay, even ordinary old women can recognize some simple words, maybe they can't write well, but they also know something when they see it.
And as Zhang Ji began to sponsor the children in his village to study, there were also a few smart children who ended up with kǎo shì and passed the child's life. Now they can be regarded as having their own to enter the county school, as long as they pass the county school selection, they will be students in the future, although they are not as famous as Xiucai, and they can be valued by the place. But in the law, it is also possible to no longer have to do military service, and there is no need to go out of military service.
For the rest, everyone has a craft, whether it is carpenter work or blacksmith work, they are enough to do it themselves. In this year, there is a serious craft, no matter where you go, no matter what natural disasters you encounter**, you don't have to worry about life. So the big guys are all smiling now, especially when they meet people who used to worry about what to say about their daughter-in-law when their children are older, their faces are full of joy.
If it had been two years ago, they would not have dared to think about the current days. Not to mention the matchmaker who came to say goodbye to the matchmaker that day, just looking at the newly repaired courtyard wall and gate, as well as the more and more spacious room, they were like a dream.
However, no matter how the people in the village talk and laugh at Yan Yan's festive life, they only said that the shopkeeper of Anping Tea Store Xu found Peachtree Bay again. This time, he didn't come to do business with Zhang Ji, but hesitantly wanted to ask Lin Baozhu if he had any intention of buying Anping Tea Shop.
