Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Of course, along with the New Year gifts, there is also a letter announcing the good news. Zixuan invited a doctor from a nearby county to check Jinghan's pulse and found that she was indeed pregnant. Now, all these people in the family are extremely beautiful.

Those people sent by the Yue family also went back together. Jinghan gave each of them fifty taels of silver and brought many other things. "Manager Ding, thank you very much for coming. We really don't have that much wool this year. When spring comes next year, I will send people here to collect it, and then we will build a weaving workshop. This grassland is huge. The north of Daqi is covered with grassland, as well as the Beiyuan Kingdom. In the past few years, the Beiyuan Kingdom has not banned trade between the two countries. Then we will collect more wool and weave it in the summer so that it can be used in the autumn. Come on. I’m going to tell you how many of you will come when the time comes.”

"Don't worry, Madam. We are all looking forward to doing something big with Madam. Madam is inconvenient now, so please take care of yourself. We will come at the end of February next year, and then we will build the weaving workshop together." Manager Ding I also know in my heart that if I follow Jinghan, I will be able to achieve something great. The previous tussah silkworms made the Yue family make a lot of money.

After sending these people away, Jinghan will have nothing to do. She only eats and sleeps every day. In the middle of winter, there’s not much place to go. Zixuan was even more worried about her, so he asked Ruyu and the others to keep a close eye on Jinghan, and was only allowed to move around the house and was not allowed to go out. Although Jinghan knew that this was not good, she was too lazy to go out. The wind outside was so strong that when I went out I felt like the wind was cutting my face like a knife.

In the Xu family, Zhixin received the New Year's gift sent by Jinghan. "Father, mother, Zixuan and Jinghan sent people to send New Year gifts. Oh, I have never seen such a big fish." Of course, the fish Jinghan sent were mainly fish soaked in the moon. This But there is none at home. The rest are some local products there, such as mung beans, buckwheat, millet, melon seeds, etc. Zhixin was illiterate, so he couldn't understand the gift list sent by Jinghan, so he just took it in his hand and waited for Wenxuan and others to come back.

Now that there are fewer people in the family, the old man will not let Zhixin and his wife stay in the mountains in winter. The couple has returned to the town to live in the autumn after planting sticks. There were several families on the mountain, so Zhixin didn't need to worry. Mushrooms are still being grown, and Honglian and the others are responsible for the mushrooms in the greenhouse. These girls have long been very proficient in these things. The mushrooms are produced very well and the sales are also good.

Zhixin is not that stingy person, and he is not on the mountain now, so he said that he would leave 20% of the money from the mushroom sales to the four girls. Now, Guren and the others worked even more energetically.

Xue made the decision and arranged the marriage between Hong Lian and Lu Ping without going outside. They were members of her own family. Honglian went to Guoxing, and Luping went to Anshun. Now, the Wang family and the Fang family have become relatives. Mrs. Xue really couldn't bear to part with these girls. If she married them all off, the family would lose a lot of good helpers. However, the Xue family returned all the deeds of sale to the Fang family and the Wang family. From now on, these two families will be regarded as long-term employees of the Xu family.

The two families were naturally grateful to Zhixin and Xue. They were originally on the run and couldn't even eat. Now I not only have enough food and clothing, but also earn a lot of money a year. This also eliminated the slave status, and future generations would be able to make a difference in the future, so I was even more grateful to the Xu family and worked even harder.

The Zhou family also has three sons. The eldest, Changshun, was taken away by Jinghan, the second, Changxi, and the third, Changli, are getting older. The mother-in-law of the Zhou family took a fancy to red peony root and mentioned it to Mr. Xue. After asking about the meaning of red peony root, Mrs. Xue also decided on their marriage. However, Hong Shao is young and will have to wait another year or two to get married. Honglian and Luping got married together just this year.

The family is busy these days with the wedding of two newlyweds. Zhixin and Xue have prepared a lot of things for them. Honglian and Luping have each prepared generous dowries. These girls have worked hard, and now that they are getting married, they must all get married in a glorious manner, which can be regarded as a little bit of the master's wishes.

Inside the house, the old man and the old lady were talking about the happy events at home, when they heard their son say that Jinghan had sent someone to deliver New Year's gifts. "Boss, hurry up and call the person who delivered the things. I have to ask how Jinghan is doing over there?" The old lady was a little anxious and was about to get off the ground after putting on her shoes. The old man was calmer and grabbed her.

"Okay, just wait here. They are here, can they come to see us?" The old man was happy when he heard his granddaughter's letter, but he didn't show it like Chen.

Behind Zhixin was none other than Changshun. Changshun stepped forward and greeted the old man and the old lady. "The old man, the old lady, the young lady and my uncle are all fine. There are not many mountains over there, it's basically a plain, but the wind gets stronger in winter. The young lady went there and built a winery. The wine is selling well now. We also got a lot of wool, knitted wool, and a very thick cloth. The lady said that there was a little bit of stuff and we couldn’t share it, so we only gave it to the old man and the old lady. A sweater knitted with wool." Changshun told the people in the room little by little what was going on with Jinghan and the others.

When Mrs. Xue heard from Ziwei that Jinghan had sent someone back, she hurried to the front room and happened to catch up with Changshun telling a story there. After hearing what Jinghan did there, Xue felt a little distressed. But everyone was listening to Chang Shun, and Xue didn't say anything.

"By the way, I have some good news to tell the old man and the old lady. Our young lady is pregnant. The doctor checked her pulse a few days ago and said everything is fine. My uncle specifically asked me to tell my family. , Don’t worry about that, my uncle will take good care of the young lady. "The Xu family is the head of Changshun, and if he calls Zixuan master, the title here will be messed up. So I still call Jinghan Miss and Zixuan Uncle, so that everyone can understand better.

This is good news, and the whole family was happy when they heard it. "Oh, God bless us, Jinghan is going to be a mother too. This is a good thing, boss and wife, hurry up and prepare some good things and more supplements. Our Jinghan was seriously ill before, and I'm afraid her health will be... We haven't raised them yet, and besides, they are still so poor there. We should prepare more supplements. Didn't Wen Han and the others send back a lot of good things a while ago? All of them. Even Jinghan, I feel really reluctant to go to such a place." The old lady said that she wanted to prepare more good things for Jinghan.

When Mrs. Xue heard this, she quickly went out to prepare. Her daughter was pregnant, which was a big deal. Now that he was far away, she naturally couldn't go over and take care of him, which made her feel so uncomfortable. I shed tears while packing my things.

Zhixin also came to help. Naturally, he felt uncomfortable seeing his wife like this. "Child, don't do this. This is a happy event, and we have to be happy. When the spring gets warm next year, you and Xing's wife will go over and see the children. Now our family has enough hands, so you can go over Look at Jinghan and take care of her until she gives birth. With you here, we can rest assured." Zhixin quickly gave his wife some advice.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xue quickly nodded in agreement. "Okay, Zixuan's mother and I will go there then." Xue finally stopped crying.

The couple was chatting while packing things to send to Jinghan. It took a while to realize that, good guys, the two of them actually picked a lot. The couple looked at each other and laughed. "Dad, are these too much? Where can Jinghan get some?"

"Okay, it's okay. Don't you still have to undergo confinement? Bring more. In their place, they don't have the money to buy these things. It's useless for us to keep them. Bring more for the children." Zhixincai No matter what, my daughter is the most important.

Changshun came back with Chang'an, and of course Chang'an went back to the village to give New Year's gifts to the Lin family. The Lin family were very happy when they heard the news of Jinghan's pregnancy. Young Master He had to prepare a lot of things, and then left Chang'an to stay at home for one night, and waited for the next day to go to town to meet Changshun and go back together.

On the other side of the capital, it was a few days late to receive the New Year's gift. Anfu and his people walked all the way for twelve days before arriving in the capital. Zixuan had sent Anfu to the capital before, so Anfu knew where Wenhan and the others lived.

Now Wenhan and Pengcheng were kept by the emperor in the Hanlin Academy, and became bachelors and lecturers, often accompanying the emperor. Of course, the emperor's care is indispensable here, otherwise, this kind of errand would not be their turn. The emperor gave Wenhan and Pengcheng each a house. The house was not too big, and the two families had a simple population, which was enough for them to live in. The two families are not too far apart, so it is convenient for them to move around each other.

An Fu arrived at Wen Han's place first, and Wen Han just came out of the palace. When he saw An Fu, he knew that Jing Han had sent someone to give him a New Year gift. Anfu clearly remembered the things he gave to each family. Each of the four families had a cart of things, and another cart was given to the emperor. In fact, there are no valuables. They are basically the same as those given to the family, except for a few extra clothes and the good wine from Jinghan Winery.

Wenhan took Jinghan's letter and read it, and quickly asked people to find Pengcheng, Mingyu, and Yunfei. Not long after, everyone gathered at Wenhan's house.

"Jinghan sent someone to deliver New Year's gifts. This is the gift list. All four of our families have the same gift. Mingyu, I need your help with something. Zixuan also brought a share to His Majesty. I'm afraid it's up to you. Send them over. These are the wishes of Jinghan and Zixuan. Whether your Majesty accepts them or not is another matter, but you must let your Majesty understand that Zixuan and the others are suffering there for the sake of the local people. "Jiangshan Sheji." Wenhan had read Jinghan's letter a long time ago. Jinghan said that we can't just keep doing things, but we must also let others know what we have done.

"Brother, this is easy to handle. I will send them to the palace in a moment. Don't look at how much these things are worth. If you buy them, you really can't buy them." Mingyu smiled, sister Jinghan liked it the most Do these weird things.
