"Mother, you will stay at Xiao Yuanbao's house, don't mention letting her be my concubine or anything like that. Just because of your words, I haven't seen Xiao Yuanbao for a year. ”

Liu Shu sat in the carriage and couldn't help but complain to his mother's wife, Xu.

Since his mother offended the old Bai family at the Lotus Festival last year, he has become the most unpopular person in the Bai family.

In the middle, he quietly went to Shenshu Village twice, once at the door of Bai's house, but was stopped by the white plank, and he stood for most of the day without entering the door.

The second time I wanted to stop Xiao Fuyuan from saying a few words at the door of the private school, I was trained by Xiao Fuyuan's second brother Bai Erzhuang with a gun and a stick.

Frightened, he didn't dare to come to the door again.

Today, his father is so easy that he is willing to take him to Shenshu Village, but he can't let his mother ruin the opportunity for him and Xiao Fuyuan to meet.

Xu was uncovered by his new son's unbearable old things last year, and he was at ease, and said with a straight face: "How did you talk to your mother?" Look at your anxious appearance, you don't have the temperament of a son. ”

Xu scolded in his mouth, worried in his heart.

She followed Liu Hong to Shenshu Village this time, mainly to Lao Bai's house.

What are you doing at Lao Bai's house, officially proposing to Lao Bai's family and hiring Xiao Fuyuan as Liu Shu's wife.

Originally, she thought that Xiao Fuyuan's background as a noble concubine was promoted, but now it is different.

The fourth child of the Lao Bai family is studying in Huaishui Academy, and judging from the trend of his two top rankings, Bao Buqi will shine in the imperial examination.

Now when he is not rising, he will have more help in the officialdom in the future, the Liu family and the Xu family.

The protégés of Huaishui Academy are all over the world, and the Xu family has not been able to insert it, so they plan to tear a hole in Xiao Fuyuan's fourth brother.

What's more, she inquired clearly that Xiao Fuyuan was the life-saving benefactor of the granddaughter of the Zhou family, the daughter of the Huaicheng Zhou family of the Marquis of Zhongjing's Mansion.

Now the ladies of the Marquis of Zhongjing have come to the door in person to thank them and live in Lao Bai's house, what kind of glory is this.

Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a small peasant family was able to get the blue eyes of the Hou Mansion, and there was no one else who was lucky.

Now the Lao Bai family is no longer a poor and dilapidated peasant family in Shenshu Village, but is related to the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion and the Huaicheng Confucian Zhou family.

In addition, Xiao Fuyuan himself has his own good luck, so he is barely qualified to be hired as Liu Shu's wife.

She also had to write a letter to Shuzhong's mother's family, and the family affairs of Liu Shu and her niece were put on hold for the time being. She has a new plan, that is, she wants to use these relationships to hire her niece to the Zhou family.

However, the hiring of Xiao Fuyuan as his wife was only a combination of Xu and Mrs. Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she did not mention it to Liu Shu, and even Liu Hong hid it.

The excuse for coming to Lao Bai's house was to visit the lady of the Marquis of Zhongjing's mansion.

She was worried that she offended Zhen at the Lotus Festival last year, and she didn't know how to mention it.

Let her be a county lady to put down her body to please a peasant woman, she is reluctant in her heart.

"Shu'er, when you arrive at Lao Bai's house, don't make Xiao Yuanbao angry, you have to play with her and make her happy, do you hear?" Xu told his son.

As long as the son and Xiao Fuyuan have a good relationship, they will not object to this family business if they want to come to the Bai family.

Liu Shu's eyes lit up, his mother had finally turned a corner, and she was willing to let him contact Xiao Yuanbao's sister.

Liu Hong sat in the sedan chair with his eyes closed, listened to Xu's instructions to his son, opened his eyes and said: "Madam, what Shu'er said is right, when you arrive at Lao Bai's house, you can no longer mention that Xiao Yuanbao should be Shu'er's eldest maid and concubine." It's not for the husband to say you, Xiao Yuanbao is not something that Shu'er can think about. ”

Xu sneered in his heart, No matter what, the old Bai family has not jumped out of the farm gate yet, and being able to marry the official family is already smoking from the ancestral tomb.

But his face was not obvious, and he said with kindness: "Don't worry, master, am I so stupid?" It's just a peasant girl, and I'm still going to beg for a boring thing? ”

That's it, let's not mention to the old man about marrying the old Bai family, and then talk about it after visiting the Bai family.

Liu Hong heard Xu say that Xiao Fuyuan was just a peasant girl, and couldn't help but shake his head, in the end, it was a woman with short knowledge.

"I'm afraid that after a while, her identity will change, and even I, the county magistrate, will salute her." Liu Hong couldn't help but say to Xu.

Xu Shi was puzzled: "Can she have such a big ability?" ”

Blow it!

Liu Hong ignored Xu no longer and opened the curtain to look at the scenery outside.

This year, the whole Huaicheng has suffered a major drought, and only the yellow crops in Yangfeng County are patches of green, and they have already set ears.

That green crop is the millet of the swallows, and with these millet grains, the farmers of Yangfeng County can survive.

If people can live, there is hope, there will be no displacement, there will be no chaos.

And these are all the credit of a few swallow millet seeds that Xiao Fuyuan casually pulled.

If there was no Xiao Fuyuan, how could Liu Hong sit in the carriage gracefully.

A few days ago, the prefect of Huaicheng praised him personally, and when this year passes, Liu Hong's career is only afraid that it will get wider and wider.

Liu Hong was grateful to Xiao Fuyuan from the bottom of his heart.

The more the carriage faces Nanguan Town, the better the swallow millet grows, and when it arrives in Shenshu Village, the swallow millet grows better, and the ears are full.

Liu Hong was full of joy when he saw it.

What is even more surprising is that the wheat in the village did not die like elsewhere, but was tasseled, and although some fields were not pumped well, there was a good harvest by visual inspection. In particular, the first few pieces of land connected together in the village did not show any traces of drought, and the ears of wheat lowered their heads heavily, which made people happy when they saw it.

Liu Hong sighed in his heart, it would be better if the wheat in Yangfeng County were like this land.

"Lao Zhao, whose land does it belong to?" Liu Hong saw several people standing next to the ridge, including the village chief Zhao Defu, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Liu, you're here." Village Chief Zhao snuffed out the dry tobacco pouch in his hand, trotted over and replied, "Go back to Lord Liu, these pieces of land are the land of the old Bai family." ”

The land of the old Bai family?

Liu Hong frowned.

How come their family's land is like a paradise, and there is no drought effect at all. Liu Hong couldn't help but think of the rumors about Xiao Fuyuan, and the prefect also wrote to him a few days ago to ask him about the rumors about Xiao Fuyuan's good luck.

"Their land is growing so well?" Liu Hong asked gossipingly.

Village Chief Zhao just wanted to reply, when Bai Dazhuang walked out of the field.

"Back to Lord Liu, as long as you are diligent and serve carefully, the crops will grow well." Bai Dazhuang carried the hoe, and then pointed to the land of other people's houses and said, "Not only my family, but also the land of the village chief's family is also good, and there are also a lot of wheat ears in Xia Qingpi's land." ”

Recently, there have been more rumors about his sister in the village, and they have even spread outside, and he doesn't want his sister's reputation to be exposed.

But I have to say that my own land is all thanks to my sister's blessing to protect the crops so well.

Village Chief Zhao thought to himself, just talk nonsense, why did your family be the most diligent family in the village before, but the harvest was the worst. Whether it is drought or flood, it is the old Bai family that suffers first.

It's not because of Xiaofuyuan that the land at home is so good, and even the drought has no impact at all.

However, Village Chief Zhao did not refute Bai Dazhuang, after all, his land was indeed growing well, and he thought that his land had been blessed by Xiao Fuyuan because of its proximity to the Bai family.

Since you have a bargain, you have to keep a low profile.

Liu Hong took a closer look at the crops close to the Bai family, and they were indeed growing well.

A bold thought rose in Liu Hong's heart.
