Last time, Li Bottle followed Zhuang Fengshou back to his hometown, but her son Zhuang Fang stayed, she missed Zhuang Fang, and this time she came with Zhuang Wu.

The couple plans to live until the Grand Canal opens to navigation next year, and then go directly by water to Weiqing County and Zhuang Fengshou to meet.

Mr. and Mrs. Zheng missed Zheng Qianqian, his grandson, and his granddaughter, so they also came with him this time.

The family's business is temporarily handed over to Zheng Qi and Zheng Guang, whether the silver is not enough, or the son and grandson are important.

Li Liang and Li Ershan have been hanging out for more than half a year, seeing countless new things, and saving countless things to say.

Li Ershan was afraid that he would not be able to tell Fan Yuanyuan carefully about what he had seen and heard along the way after he came back, he didn't like to read and write since he was a child, and he developed the habit of writing notes every day.

This note of love was temporarily confiscated by Li Liang, and he didn't see his grandson and nephew for more than half a year, and he wanted to use this note to attract the children in the family to revolve around him every day!

Li Liang's slightly naïve behavior, Li Qian is very supportive, and he should indeed let the children in the family know how wide the world is outside.

However, Li Liang should not patronize the dolls of his grandchildren, and he also has to consider Li Xiaolan's daughter.

Li Xiaolan is now focused on Jiang Mao, but he has a headache for a long time.

Taking advantage of the early start of work that day, Li Qiao and Li Liang talked about Li Xiaolan's love for Jiang Mao from falling in love at first sight to falling deeper and deeper, and Li Liang was shocked after hearing it.

He, a little girl who has always had a sense of presence, is still so determined?

It made Xiao Qiao have a headache and was helpless, which was too unexpected for him!

"Xiao Qiao, don't have a headache, what's the headache here, you just follow her."

"Huh?" When Li Qiao heard this, her eyebrows instantly screwed together, her eyes widened a little, and she emphasized: "Big brother, Jiang Mao is not a good match. ”

"Saying that the Jiang family kid is not a good match means that he doesn't have time to accompany Xiaolan more, but a man, if he wants to make a name for himself, how can he stay at home every day?"

"Besides, Xiaolan doesn't care about this, what's the use of us stopping it? She has suffered herself, and she will turn back. ”

"She's going to want to eat the white and tender cream cake right now, but you have to stuff it on her nest head, can she be willing? She doesn't want to, you have a headache too, there's no need. ”

Li Liang said and raised his hand and patted Li Qiao's shoulder: "You just follow her, anyway, no matter how she lives after she gets married, our family will always leave a yard for her." ”

Li Qiao: "......"

Good guy, his big brother is really free.

It seems that he has drilled the horns.

Taking a slow breath, he asked, "Big brother, do you really think so?" ”

"Of course it's true, even if she is divorced in the future, we can give her a bite to eat, what are we afraid of? Anyway, she chose it herself, and she is happy now. ”

Li Liang said and patted Li Qiao's shoulder again: "It's decided, don't have a headache, I'll let her mother go and talk to her." ”

Li Qiao: "......"

That's it.

Li Liang asked Wang Guihua to go and tell Li Xiaolan that the family agreed with her and Jiang Mao's family affairs, Li Xiaolan was very happy after hearing this, her face was flushed, and her eyes were amazingly bright.

But soon she became apprehensive, and she agreed, but what about Jiang Mao?

I'll have to ask Jiang Mao's opinion.

Jiang Mao is now in the household department every day, and it is easy for Li Qiao to see him, and after lunch at noon that day, Li Qiao called Jiang Mao to his small office.

Jiang Mao should have agreed to this family business.

But there are some ugly things he has to say first.

Jiang Mao wants to climb up through him, but his character is not to interfere with the promotion of officials, so Jiang Mao should not expect to be promoted through him.

If you want to be promoted, you have to show real ability and attitude to satisfy Sheng Hong.

In addition, if Li Xiaolan does not have a good life in the future, or if Jiang Mao declines in the future, then Li Xiaolan has the right to reconcile.

Jiang Mao sat opposite Li Qiao's desk, and listened to the two conditions mentioned by Li Qiao with a well-behaved face, he did not show joy or anger, he lowered his eyes and seriously considered these two conditions.

After a full quarter of an hour, he looked up at Li Qiao: "My lord, the student agrees to this family business." ”

"No remorse?" Li Qiao asked in a calm tone.

"No repentance." Jiang Mao replied very firmly, and looked at Li Qiao's eyes with clear and bright eyes.

"Okay, then you put your fingerprint on this agreement." Li Qiao took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago.

A verbal promise is nothing, after all, Jiang Mao is not an ordinary person like Song Shishi, who can be manipulated by him.

Jiang Mao is also an official of the imperial court.

In order for these two conditions to be legally valid, Jiang Mao had to sign the prenuptial agreement.

Jiang Mao was a little surprised, but after reading this contract, he did not hesitate to sign his name and press his handprint.

Marrying with Lord Li has no benefits on the surface, but the benefits in the secret are great.

Moreover, he doesn't plan to take a concubine, Li Xiaolan shouldn't be in love because of his declining color, and if he gets married, it will be a lifetime, what is he afraid of, just sign it.

Chapter 234: Jiang Mao didn't look down on Li Xiaolan and the Hu people committed crimes

Jiang Mao pressed his handprint on the contract, and this family business was completed.

Li Qiao sent a letter to the Jiang Governor's Mansion, informing the Jiang Governor of the matter, and suggesting that Li Xiaolan and Jiang Mao get married earlier.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to raise Li Xiaolan, it's that Li Xiaolan herself is too eager for this family business, and since he knew that Jiang Mao agreed, the whole person has been in a very floating state.

No matter what he was doing, he could suddenly laugh out loud, and he walked like Li Yu'an at the beginning, and he suddenly jumped twice while walking.

Of course, it's not all happy, because she and Jiang Mao are not in love, it's purely that Jiang Mao wants to marry the daughter of the Li family, and she happens to be surnamed Li.

Therefore, occasionally she will frown, bite her lip, and lose her soul.

Li Xiaolan in this state, Li Qiao just wants her to marry Jiang Mao soon, no need to fantasize at home, experience it for yourself, it doesn't matter if it's sweet or bitter, as Li Liang said, she chose it herself anyway.

When she really can't stand it anymore, she will turn back.

However, even if he planned for the worst, but in the end it was his own niece, Li Qiao still remembers the picture of seven-year-old Li Xiaolan carrying a small basket to bring him fish soup the day after crossing over.

The little girl back then, well-behaved, shy, and diligent, has not had a high sense of presence in the Li family for many years, and now the little girl has become a slim girl.

He, who is an uncle, how can he really watch her cry and return to the Li family after many years.

Therefore, as long as he was in the household department, he would call Jiang Mao to him every day and tell him about the current situation of Dasheng's cultivated land and grain production.

also mentioned that Jiang Mao, as Sheng Hong's grain supervisor, should work hard in which direction to win Sheng Hong's favor on weekdays.

Everyone said that the Phoenix man should be suppressed all the time and not promoted, lest the Phoenix man turn his face and deny people after gaining power.

But Jiang Mao is not a phoenix man, he is a tanhua, his grandfather is the prefect, with the ability and character of the prefect Jiang, it is a matter of time before he is promoted.

Jiang Mao's worth will rise sooner or later.

Besides, there is a friendship between the two families, how can he really suppress Jiang Mao.

He mentioned Jiang Mao at this time, just to make Jiang Mao be more gentle and considerate to Li Xiaolan in the future, even if the two of them will be separated in the future, but Li Xiaolan is at least really happy.

In addition, he also asked Jiang Mao to come to Loei to cultivate a relationship with Li Xiaolan.

The relationship is placed, and if the relationship is strong before marriage, the two can get along happily after marriage.

However, the nature of Jiang Mao's work doomed Li Xiaolan to endure hardships.

This year's grain supervisor is to supervise the grain planting situation in Shengjing and Jibei Province, in case Sheng Hong lets these grain inspectors go to other provinces next year, it is really a big head to think about.

But Li Qiao has nothing to do about it, Sheng Hong has his own arrangements.

Entering the wax moon, there was another heavy snowfall, this time the snowfall made the weather swishing very cold, and last winter because the weather was too cold people were too lazy to go to the street The scene appeared again.

The cold wind is like a knife, dripping into ice, and before Laba Shenghong gave the officials a holiday, he didn't want the officials to rush to the yamen in the middle of the night to suffer in this weather.

But Li Qiao did not have a holiday.

As a celebrity in front of Sheng Hong, he has to help Sheng Hong deal with all kinds of cumbersome government affairs.

But fortunately, it was a holiday, so he didn't have to go out in the middle of the night as usual, he just rushed to the palace before dawn.

In this kind of weather, Li Dashan, Li Ershan and Li Shu don't go to the shop every day, anyway, the business is bleak, rather than being frozen on the road, it is better to nest in the greenhouse cat winter.

Although Tao Zhu is the manager of Shantang, he sent out the purchased cotton early this year, so now there is nothing big about Shantang, and he doesn't have to go out.

So, as the head of the family, Li Qiao needs to go out every day, but the rest of the people stay at home to eat and drink, tease the children, and prepare for the New Year by the way.

Now the daily life of the Li family is to study in the morning, Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng, Li Yunfan, Li Erbao, and Brother Tangerine, if the adults have nothing else to do, they will stay in the multi-functional leisure room in the front yard to save some dry firewood and coal.

In the afternoon, several children's physical education classes were canceled, the weather was too cold, and they wore round clothes and sweated in the yard, so it was easy to catch a cold.

Unable to play in the yard, a few children sat on the kang and listened to Li Liang tell them what they had seen on the way south.

Of course, this has to be combined with Li Ershan's diary, but Li Liang is illiterate, so he dictated, Zheng Qianqian or Li Dashan read it with notes, which can be regarded as a supplement for him.

He has been staying in the north in the past, this time he went south, saw the surging and majestic Yangtze River, but also saw the rice fields different from the dry land, but also saw the continuous hills, mountains, taste some fresh fruits, specialties.

And, of course, the customs along the way.

When Zheng Qianqian followed Li Qian to Shengjing before, he felt that the terrain and crops along the way were similar to those of Pingcheng, so he felt as if he had not left home.

But the terrain and crops in North Lakes Province are different from those in the north.

Having grown wheat for half his life, he really wanted to grow rice and raise fish in the rice fields, which was really fun.

Unfortunately, there are no paddy fields in Shengjing.

After Li Liang's regret was known by Li Qiao, Li Qiao couldn't help laughing, what's so difficult about this, there is no ready-made paddy field, and a few acres can be transformed, so that his idle eldest brother can live his addiction to planting rice.

But after Li Liang heard this, he refused again and again.

As for the land price in Shengjing, he was reluctant to toss around.

However, he was very moved by Li Qiao's proposal, Shengjing's arable land is expensive, but Weiqing County is cheap, and he will transform a few acres of paddy fields in Weiqing County in the future!

After Jiang Mao's holiday, he would come to visit Li's house every day, and Li Liang would pull Jiang Mao to chat, Jiang Mao was familiar with all kinds of agricultural affairs, and he and Jiang Mao could talk very well.

In his opinion, Jiang Mao is a good son-in-law, knows how to grow crops, and does not have the delicate problems of a scholar, what a good son-in-law.

Wang Guihua was originally not satisfied with Jiang Mao, but now that the family matter has been decided, she can only try her best to be good to Jiang Mao, so that Jiang Mao can treat Li Xiaolan well in the future.

The kindness and enthusiasm of the Li family made Jiang Mao a little helpless while enjoying it, and the Li family treated him as a beast, lest he treat Li Xiaolan well.
