That being said, the shop is not open after all.

Li Xin asked Guan Wen if he had thought about what kind of shop he wanted to open, whether he would still open a fur shop or find another business, and Guan Wen only shook his head.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I feel that I have too much money left in my hand, and it's useless to pinch it in my hand."

Guan Wen told Li Xin everything he thought in his heart, and Li Xin understood his mind, so he didn't object, and followed him to think about it.

This matter is not in a hurry, because spring ploughing will begin immediately.

Although the family field is watched by the old man Niu, Guan Wen still stays at home for more than ten days, and follows the old man Niu around the paddy fields that belong to him every day.

The cold of winter gradually fell, the spring breeze in February was like scissors, the temperature rose quickly, Yang'er took off her thick cotton jacket, and the chilblains on her ears gradually dispersed.

Because of studying with Mr. Fu, Yang'er's scholarly taste has become stronger and stronger, and his gestures are not quite the same as the mud monkeys in the village.

Huixian County can be regarded as a wealthy county town, Huixian Sanbao is famous all over the world, and the economy of several nearby villages will naturally not be bad. Xiahe Village is a little far away and the geographical location is not very convenient, so it is poorer than Lijia Village and Hehua Village.

Yizhou has a suitable climate, water and heat are coordinated, and it is a good place for people to live, and there are few disaster years. Except for the freezing of the previous winter, when some people's crops were frozen to death and some were damaged, there were no other natural disasters.

But in the end, this is not the case everywhere, after the spring. Then news came one after another, Yuzhou and Jingzhou were cold this winter, and many people in some villages froze to death, and countless crops were frozen to death. In one of the most serious villages, people disappeared without a trace, and many families were ruined or sold into slavery. or begging for a living, and the situation is unbearable.

The governors of the two states listened to the heavens, and the young emperor immediately ordered disaster relief to help the victims rebuild their homes. I haven't heard anyone who can elaborate on the specifics.

Lack of transportation hinders the dissemination of information.

Guan Wen sighed, and his tone was full of sighs: "It's not that everywhere is too peaceful. ”

Li Xin nodded, and her eyebrows were also dyed a little melancholy. But he quickly smiled: "Fortunately, the incumbent is a good emperor who governs the country with his heart, and what he is most afraid of is that something happens, but the incumbent doesn't care, and allows the situation to subside or deteriorate." "In a year of calamity, human life is like a mustard. Today's emperor can quickly send out disaster relief news, but he is also a good emperor who cares about all the people.

Guan Wen still frowned, and said, "I just don't know how much disaster relief money can be in the hands of the victims in the end." ”

This era is considered a renaissance era, the reigning emperor is young, and likes to recruit new courtiers in his camp, wanting to decompose and disintegrate the power of those pedantic and deep-rooted old courtiers. In the process of implementing reforms, the old diehards always used the patriarchal law to persuade them, so that the reform was ineffective, although it was not difficult. But there are too few people who can be used by the emperor.

Although Guan Wen and Li Xin didn't understand the affairs of the court, they still knew a little bit about listening to the people running around and telling each other.

The upper-level officials are not bad, but the middle-level officials are more corrupt, and it is good to dig a little bit and finally fall into the hands of the victims to have one-tenth of the disaster relief money that has been allocated.

It's not that the people are spreading falsehoods. But a few years ago, there was such a corruption and fraud case in the court. The case was widely implicated, and in the end, the investigation of the case was found to be known to the government and the opposition, and the emperor had not long been on the throne at that time. Later, he raided the criminal's home, but only sentenced the criminal's family members to exile, which was not as innocent as the crime, so that the people of the world rushed to praise him, saying that the new emperor was a good emperor with benevolence and benevolence, but did not condone corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

But then there was another embankment failure, and the imperial court allocated silver taels to rebuild the embankment, but because the silver taels were not in place, the whole project cut corners, resulting in the dam collapsing again the next year.

So since then, whenever there is a matter of the imperial court allocating silver twice, there will always be people speculating whether there will be corrupt officials who will deduct the money this time? If so, will the emperor check it?

But after all, these are the concerns of those who are powerful and powerful, and most of the people are wise people who protect themselves, and at most they sigh twice about the suffering of the victims, and continue to live behind closed doors.

After the spring ploughing, the temperature rises faster, the spring flowers bloom all over the place, and the wildflowers in the mountains seem to bloom overnight.

Feng Defa is very happy, the bees are no longer short of nectar, and he has been smiling all these days.

Later, the Liu family brought news to Li Xin, saying that the relationship between Li Tie and the girl of the Lu family had been decided.

Liu smiled and whispered: "Your aunt has spent a lot of money, and I see that her flesh hurts tightly." ”

Li Xin grinned.

Liu has been aggrieved for so many years, and now he is finally raising his eyebrows.

She can say proudly: "It doesn't matter if you are Boss Li or Li Laosan, no one's baby is as good as mine!" ”

Li Xin didn't ask what Li Houzhong's current family background is, but she knew that the money in her mother's family was in her mother's hands. The eldest brother and the second brother made the money by themselves, and the wealth of the family made everyone in the village envious. Of course, there are also people who say sour things, and the first one is Li Houbo.

Li Xin, the uncle, was a little cautious, when Li Yue's family was still alive, for the sake of this old lady's coffin, he had to calculate with his younger brother, not to mention that when he was separated, as the eldest brother, he didn't think about taking care of his younger brother at all, and he took away all the valuable things in the family with Uncle Li Hou, leaving Li Houzhong so aggrieved alone, and living all these years of hard life.

Now that I see that I was not as rich as my second brother no matter how I looked at it, the words that came out of my mouth were a little pantothenic.

What "Second brother, you are so prosperous, don't say take care of my brother", what "Second brother, you have a thick family, don't let your mother-in-law take it all, you have to keep some in your own pocket to have confidence", what "When will the second brother be filial to my brother and me"...... Etcetera.

Li Houzhong didn't say it to his family, he was not a stupid person, and naturally he could hear the sour taste in his eldest brother's words. But he also knew that if he told his mother-in-law, he might not be a Hedong lion's roar again. So he also went in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear, lived his stable life in a leisurely manner, had nothing to do with his wife, teased his little daughter and little granddaughter, and then choked with his eldest grandson, which was so beautiful.

As for the Liu family, the old woman is a woman, and after the shame of the previous period, she is proud now. She can still have a baby at her age! Those women in the village say sour things on their lips, who doesn't envy them in their hearts? Besides, after Li Ge's face grew a little, her eyebrows were picturesque, pink and tender, looking at it like a beautiful embryo, who didn't envy her for giving birth to a beautiful girl again?

Not to mention that her sons and daughters are all promising, and now Liu's no longer has to go to the field to do work except for cooking and feeding chickens, the days are very leisurely, the complexion is a lot better, and the person also looks a few years younger, which is even more enviable.

So in comparison, Liu's life is much better than her two concubines.

The Jin family is not in the village, and although the Zhu family is also peaceful on weekdays, his face is also a little ugly at this time.

People are all compared, and the Zhu family has completely lost its superiority in front of the Liu family.

Fortunately, Li Tie's marriage was decided this time, and the Zhu family was relieved, but she still paid a lot of money, which still made her a little depressed.

Liu persuaded on his lips, but of course he was happy in his heart.

In the past, she was the only one who was worried about the silver, but now it is your turn to worry about the silver?

Zhu said that he wanted to give benefits, but he didn't give anything, and sealed a small red envelope to Zeng Matchmaker, who secretly said to Zhu: "It's stingy, her niece doesn't give her so much money to help her do things." ”

The Zhu family has no choice, there are so many mouths waiting for dinner at home, there is not much money left when I asked the Yang family, and when Li Yin gets married, it will cost money, and there is no extra income in the family......

Liu said to Li Xin: "Your eldest aunt is worried now, when her youngest son becomes a parent, their family should be separated, and it will be a mess at that time." ”

Li Xin was puzzled: "If you divide the family, you will split the family, and after the third brother gets married, won't you also want to split the family?" ”

Liu glared: "Of course, the situation of your uncle's family is much more special. Originally, in this separation, the parents were going to live with the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law were used to support the elderly for the rest of their lives, but your lobby brother was gone, and this matter fell on the second cousin. But your sister-in-law and nephew are still there, how should this matter be calculated? ”

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, and asked Liu in a low voice: "Mother, you said that the sister-in-law in the lobby will marry again......

In Li Xin's concept, although the sister-in-law Gu is a dead man, she is not yet thirty years old, so will she have to be a widow for the rest of her life? The court encouraged widows to remarry and did not advocate observance.

Liu Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can't take this outside." ”

Liu looked at the outside of the hall, and then muttered to Li Xin in a low voice: "Your uncle, they definitely don't want your sister-in-law to find someone to marry again, but there are still three babies down there, if your sister-in-law remarries, what will happen to this baby?" I was not happy to look at your sister-in-law in the lobby, and I wanted to guard your lobby brother. ”

Li Xin sighed a little, but he could only say: "In a few years, Dajiang will grow up, and if he marries a daughter-in-law, he will be filial to his sister-in-law." ”

Liu snorted and said, "But the Gu family won't agree, your sister-in-law in the lobby and her eldest brother love her, and after the filial piety period has passed, she will definitely find someone for your sister-in-law who knows the cold and the hot, and let her remarry." Your sister-in-law is not very old, and her eldest brother must not be happy that his sister will keep it like this for the rest of her life. ”

If the mother-in-law's family disagrees on this matter, this is indeed a problem. Li Xin thought to himself.
