Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

On the first day of the new year, the sun is shining brightly in Kyoto, and the winter sunshine shines on me, giving me a warm feeling.

Li Haitang squinted his eyes and leaned on the thick cushions of the carriage, feeling drowsy. Kyoto is different from the Northland. During the year, there are still many shops open, and people come and go, carrying things in their hands to visit relatives and friends. However, in the border towns of the Northland, it is much colder now, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. If there is a snowstorm, , you have to bring a shovel when you go out.

open circuit.

The streets are noisy and there is no sense of depression in the Northland.

Li Haitang closed his eyes and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.

She has been here for half a year and has no sense of belonging. She has a house, a village, and a shop in Kyoto, but she is still a passerby.

The prosperity of Kyoto was so out of place, but she still missed the warm feeling of the snow-capped mountains and the floor coverings at home.

Although there are many rich people here, there is no human touch.

The carriage entered the area close to the inner city. The Ruan Mansion occupied a small half of the street. The vermilion gate and the door beast were placed at the door. It can be seen that it was also in its heyday.

The main door of Ruan Mansion is not open, so all visiting guests must go through the small door.

At the entrance of the alley, a corner door is opened. Usually when servants come to give gifts, they can just use the corner door.

The high-ranking families in Kyoto have their own rules. It is almost unnecessary for the masters and wives of the family to personally send out New Year's gifts, etc. They can just find the servants around them who can use them to represent them.

The side door and the corner door are separated by a long distance, but they symbolize completely different statuses.

Li Haitang stared at the closed front door, guessing in his heart that what Fang Shaoyao said was probably the truth. The Wang family entered the house again and made a comeback.

"Hey, that potbellied guy at the door, don't block the way!"

The servants of the Ruan Mansion were very arrogant. There is a saying that goes well, among the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, although their master is not the prime minister, he is still the mainstay of the Qi Dynasty. The person who comes to the door to give gifts must look at his face.

If you know how to handle things, give him some benefits, and he will kindly inform you, or he will be responsible for recording without saying a word.

I'm afraid it will take a few months for the master and his wife to review the book.

The house was busy, and trivial matters such as giving gifts were left to their servants to take care of.

Return gifts will be distributed according to the level and thickness of the gift.

Usually those who come to give gifts are mostly to curry favor with the Ruan family and speak kindly to his servants.

When the gatekeeper saw the carriage blocking the road, he quickly came out to drive it away. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I left the gifts behind, but the master and his wife did not see the guests.

Li Haitang had already vaccinated himself and knew the virtues of the Ruan family, so he was not angry at all about this.

If you care about inferior people, you will become inferior. Why bother?

"Are you here to give gifts? Present the gifts, register them, and then you can go back."

The gatekeeper glanced at Xiao Lingchuan and felt that this man was not easy to mess with. He had an intimidating aura all over him. He put away his arrogance and refused to admit that he was scared by the other party, but when he spoke, he was obviously much more polite.

"My husband and I are here to visit relatives, should we open the front door?"

Li Haitang spread his hands, a gift? No, not a single copper. It would be great if she didn't come to exploit the Ruan family.

"relative?"

The gatekeeper sneered and tutted, another family of Autumn Wind Fighters came.

The Ruan family has a high status, so there are always people who pretend to be relatives, come to the house to win the autumn breeze, and cheat people out of food and drink. In the past, the master and his wife did not care, but now it is different. They have no time to deal with other people.

When the master spoke, someone pretended to recognize him, so there was no need to talk nonsense. He went directly to the Jingzhaoyi Yamen to report to the official and find something for Zhang Zheng to do.

Therefore, before Li Haitang knew it, the Ruan family had already sent someone to report to the Jingzhao Yi Yamen.

The gatekeeper was afraid that the group would run away, so he deliberately delayed time, "You say we are relatives, distant relatives, but close relatives are not like this."

"What kind of relative am I that I have to report to a slave of yours?"

Li Haitang smiled. If it weren't for the Ruan family's last words, it would seem that no one would like to come to the Ruan family. The so-called high-ranking family is just a bunch of petty rabble. It's hard to say who will take advantage of whom when she comes to recognize her relatives.

Regarding her identity, the Ruan family has no idea?

"I am friends with your young lady."

Li Haitang raised his eyebrows. It didn't matter if she couldn't get in now. The carriage was quite comfortable anyway, and she didn't want to see the faces of the Ruan family for the time being.

Now the question arises, who is the young lady of the Ruan family?

According to her guess, Zhang Ruyi was probably not recognized.

"Our young lady?"

The gatekeeper rolled his eyes and guessed Li Haitang's identity. The Wang family used to live in seclusion and had no sisters. However, after being away from home for a year, it was unknown if she had any sisters with whom she was close.

When the gatekeeper thought about it, he regretted reporting to the official. He said angrily, "Didn't you say he was a relative of the Ruan family?"

The gap between the relatives of the Ruan family and the young lady’s sisters is too big! You can't change the concept secretly. Isn't this a joke?

The young lady has just returned to the mansion, and she is very prosperous. From now on, she will be the mistress of the Ruan family. If he offends people so quickly, he will definitely be replaced in the future, and this lucrative job will be lost.

The gatekeeper was very angry, his face red and his neck thick.

"Your young lady and I are sworn sisters, aren't we relatives of the Ruan family?"

The gatekeeper changed his attitude again, looking frightened, and Li Haitang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. If it were Zhang Ruyi, the other party wouldn't be so afraid.

"This... I don't know. Our young lady has been away from home for more than a year, and she has made friends with sisters outside. She won't treat us as servants."

The gatekeeper replied nonchalantly, and Li Haitang understood instantly that he was talking about the Wang family.

"How many young ladies are there in your house?"

Li Haitang couldn't bear it anymore and asked again.

"Oh, do you know the young madam? Our young madam's father is now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the evaluation, promotion and high power of officials. Do you think there can be someone in the house? How many young ladies?"

The Yue family is powerful and they still hope to support the Ruan family. At this juncture, they still want to find a woman with an unclear identity. Isn't that going against the Wang family?

The gatekeeper glanced at Li Haitang suspiciously, feeling that this man was just here to cause trouble.

He was about to speak when he suddenly thought of the new rumors in his family and frowned, "You are not Zhang's sister, are you?"

My eldest young master brought home an unknown woman. I heard that she was married, but she was divorced for some reason. She was a woman who had had a miscarriage.

On New Year's Eve, there was a commotion at the dinner table. The house had been filled with smoke and smoke these past few days, and the servant was trembling with fear, fearing that the fire would burn him.

"If it's a sister named Zhang, then no wonder he had the opportunity to express his friendship with the young lady, so he had to send her to Jingzhaoyi Yamen as soon as possible!"

Thinking of this, the gatekeeper kept a straight face and said nothing. After a while, the servants came to the door with official servants. The leading official knew Li Haitang, and when he saw her here, he was surprised and said, "Doctor Li, why are you here at Ruan's house?"
