Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

However, all the property in Yang's shop was sold, and even if he had some wealth, he could only live a better life than the mud-legged people in the countryside. Yang Xu also got a lot of money from studying.

Every inch of land in Kyoto is expensive, and expenses are high. It is impossible for the Yang family to start living by pawning. Having such in-laws is like a lot of hindrances.

"Yang Xu passed the scholar examination, which shows that he is very talented. Why doesn't your father agree to the marriage?"

Li Haitang didn't understand that businessmen were interested in profit, but they still respected scholars. Scholars were knowledgeable. If they became officials and became masters in the future, smoke would rise from their ancestors' graves.

Although the reputation of a scholar is relatively low, Yang Xu is still young. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will have a lot of opportunities in the future.

"My father said that when Yang Xu passes the Jinshi examination and becomes an official, he will not be able to do it until he is seventy or eighty years old. The imperial examination is not so easy..."

Xiangli knew that her father just wanted to find a reason to regret the marriage, so after her mother passed away, he began to find a home for her. Rather than looking for it, it was better to sell it to the one with the highest price.

If she didn't run out, she would be tied up by her father and thrown to the old man.

Xiangli is naive and can only think of running away, and the only person she can trust is her nanny. The master and servant did not dare to tell anyone in the house. If the secret was leaked and her father knew about it, Xiangli thought, she would definitely be locked up until she got married.

"At the beginning of last year, Yang Xu, the young master of the Yang family, wrote a letter to our lady. This is how I learned that Yang Xu was at Songhe Academy in Kyoto, and the Yang family was also there."

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she was a little unsure. Calculating the time, more than a year had passed, and she didn't know if Yang Xu was still there.

Their master and servant had never been to Kyoto, and they had to walk thousands of miles along the way. After meeting the bandits and the coachman, the mother-in-law hesitated in her heart whether to go to the Yang family.

If Yang Xu changes academy, where will they find someone in such a big city like Kyoto?

Furthermore, I haven't received a letter from Yang Xu for more than a year, and my mother-in-law doesn't know whether Yang Xu is married or not. Perhaps Yang Xu wrote the letter, but his master secretly withheld it for his own selfish reasons.

"I don't know if the Yang family recognizes this marriage."

The mother-in-law murmured in her heart, but did not dare to say it out loud. She knew what her young lady was thinking and could not hide it from her.

The two were childhood sweethearts. If it hadn't been for the decline of the Yang family and the death of their wife, they would have gotten married by now.

Even if the Yang family does not recognize the marriage, Mrs. Yang will take good care of her young lady based on the handkerchief friendship between her and his wife. After much thought, the mother-in-law decided that it would be safer to go to Kyoto to find someone, because the master and servant had no escape route.

"Mrs. Xiao, our master and servant have never traveled far, so we don't know everything clearly, so we found such a coachman."

The mother-in-law felt that she had met a kind person and asked Li Haitang seriously for advice.

"Are you sure that Yang Xu is at Songhe Academy?"

There are at least thousands of students in Songhe Academy. It doesn't sound too easy to find out, but if you are a scholar and you are not in the north, it is relatively easy to outline the rules.

Li Haitang remembered that he was going to take over Ji Qiu's wine shop, and he had discussed it with Mr. Savage two days ago and talked about her business experience.

"Anyway, it was more than a year ago."

There has been no news for more than a year, and the mother-in-law is not very sure, so she can only go to Kyoto to live there until she finds someone.

On this trip, the master and servant brought with them silver notes and some scattered silver, which was the dowry left to the young lady before her wife passed away. They could not move away the large antique screens and ornaments, so they could only choose valuable jewelry and put them away. In the package, you can also use it as money in case of emergency.

The world is harsh on women, and it is not easy for women to survive. If they have no money, it will be even more difficult.

"If you think about going to Kyoto, it's not impossible."

Li Haitang thought about it, and then said, "Go to a nearby city and find a reliable caravan, preferably with women in it. The caravan should find a large shop, so as to ensure safety."

A sum of money was given to the caravan, and the master and the servant had a carriage. In fact, the other party only had one more person to help drive the carriage, and it was no trouble at all to carry it along.

When you go out, don't reveal your wealth, and try to be as low-key as possible.

"How about this? My husband and I are in a hurry for this trip. If you have no other arrangements, we can go together."

Li Haitang saw that the master and servant really knew nothing about each other, and it was easy to be deceived when they went out like this.

The two of them went to Songhe Academy in Kyoto and happened to be with her.

"Ma'am, that's great!"

The master and the servant were about to kneel down and kowtow again, but Li Haitang waved his hand to stop them. He had to say ugly things ahead. She had important things to do and couldn't stay in the town for too long. Besides, she would have to sleep in the wilderness if she couldn't catch up with Sutou.

"Mrs. Xiao, Xiangli is not a person who cannot endure hardships, and she will definitely not be held back."

Xiangli shook her head and put the unhappiness of last night behind her. She had always thought about it. When she saw Yang Xu in Kyoto, she wanted to ask why she had not heard from him for more than a year. Did she still remember this? Family affairs.

Her mother died of illness, and she had to observe mourning for three years. Yang Xu might not be willing to wait.

Since he decided to go together, Li Haitang did not waste time, but there was still a problem. The group still lacked a driver.

When mentioning the carriage driver, Xiangli couldn't help but wince. She was no longer a young lady after leaving home and could not always be pampered. She tugged at the hem of her clothes and asked, "I wonder if driving a carriage is easy, but Xiangli is willing to learn." "

"Madam, this slave can give it a try."

Ging Guo adjusted her sleeves, took out a hat to protect the sun from the sun in the carriage, and quickly wrapped her headscarf.

"Ging Guo, just try and let the carriage follow."

Li Haitang immediately agreed, and the group got on the carriage.

As for the coachman, Xiao Lingchuan tied him to his horse, beat him sideways, entered the nearest town, and threw him directly to the Yamen.

When she went to the Yamen to file a complaint, she had to be interrogated. Xiangli and her nanny wrote a piece of pleading paper and signed it, waiting for the county magistrate to convict her.

The coachman was not a local, so he was supposed to be detained for a period of time before being dealt with, but he didn't have much time to wait. Mrs. Wang, the fragrant pear nanny, was very sensible and didn't care about money. She gave a gift to the master next to the county magistrate and got it done immediately. Came down.

Even if this is the case, it will also waste nearly a day.

"Mrs. Xiao, I'm sorry...I..."

Xiangli wanted to apologize again. She didn't dare to talk to Xiao Lingchuan and stayed away. Every time she saw Li Haitang, she would always say three words, "I'm sorry."

"My maiden name is Haitang, and I'm only two or three years older than you. Just call me Sister Haitang."

We met twice. It was fate. We were traveling together and we were companions. There was no need to be so polite. The reason why Li Haitang was willing to bring the two of them was not without reason. Master Xiangli was not the kind of person who had too many things to do. Moreover, she found that the nanny Wang's hands were particularly skillful. She could weave beautiful little baskets out of roadside weeds. .
