Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

Lizheng of Dahuaishu Village was sharp-tongued, and now his expression was full of admiration.

"The original story of the Li family is that the imperial court moved the capital. We have too many people here, and we all need food to eat. They can't take advantage of the imperial court. After waiting for three years, the imperial court has gone through a difficult period at that time, and then accept us. The taxes and grains of several villages."

"That's right," said Li Zheng of Xiaowangzhuang, "The Li family said that the emperor's kindness is great, and they can repay a little bit!"

Everyone heard the sighs, some admired the Li family's open-mindedness and sincerity, some said that the Li family was sensationalizing, and some even said that the Li family was flattering the court!

However, the taxes and grains of the three villages, a total of more than 200 bags of grain, were all handed over.

The petty official in charge of grain collection saw it eagerly, and wanted to use his hands and feet to steal it, but he didn't dare, after all, hundreds of people present knew about it.

So, the petty official reported the extra grain.

Shangguan heard that it was Suijintan who took the initiative to pay taxes and food, so he reported it...

In the palace, the emperor left a few courtiers from the local gentry for lunch, and while they were gossiping, the matter was reported.

The chief eunuch is also smart. Knowing that the emperor has been worried about food recently, he said it in class, and finally he did not forget to praise a few words, "Your majesty, Lord Hou is loyal. I don't want Princess Kangle to be the same at such a young age. Hundreds of bags of food are not enough. If you are willing to accept it, you must send it to share your worries with the emperor."

The emperor glanced at several courtiers, and snorted coldly: "Yes, it is so simple to have a country first and then a family."

The truth, children even understand it, but many people pretend not to understand it. Tell me, are they pretending to be confused because they understand it? "

The head eunuch didn't respond well, and said vaguely: "This old slave is stupid. I really don't know what these people think, but this old slave knows that the fruit of Suijintan will be picked soon. I heard that the mountain is full of red, and it is like a new city. It's a scene.

"In a few days, the Li family will definitely pay tribute. At that time, the emperor will reward the old slave with one, okay? The old slave also wants to taste the taste of the fruit grown in the geomantic land!"

"Greedy!" The emperor laughed and cursed, and his expression eased, "When the time comes, look at the arrangements, don't let them go back empty-handed, the people are so sincere, I don't want to hurt their hearts."

The head eunuch hurriedly agreed, and then withdrew.

Several courtiers held chopsticks in their hands, which weighed a thousand catties.

Almost all of their families are local wealthy families, who have accumulated for several generations. The fields are calculated in thousands of acres, but there is not much tax and food.

Now the imperial court is short of food, and they also know it.

But no one is willing to fill the big hole of the imperial court at the expense of himself.

Originally, I thought that even if we wanted to support the food, we would have to stretch it out for a while, in exchange for some benefits for the family.

Don't want to, Cheng Yaojin, the Broken Gold Beach, is killed halfway.

If they don't donate food immediately, won't they even be inferior to the Li family who was born as a refugee? !

There was no other way, several people could only get up and kneel down, offering food one after another...

The emperor listened to their loyalty, but his eyes looked outside the hall, deeply

The autumn sky is dazzlingly blue, extremely pure.

My cousin often said that the Li family was his blessed land, and now it seems that this is really true!

Now, it is him, the emperor, who has followed suit...

In the Broken Gold Beach, everyone didn't even know that they were registered in the emperor's heart again.

Still actively preparing baskets, poles and other items, ready to start work tomorrow.

The men quickly built three thatched huts by the river.

There are three large hearths in one room, which are prepared for lunch for craftsmen and villagers, and the other two rooms are equipped with tables and chairs, which are convenient for meals and temporary rest.

There is no shortage of vegetables in this season, just bring a few bags of rice noodles from the granary, and each family gathers some pots and pans.

The village chief named a few women to be responsible for cooking and boiling tea, and gave four work points for the work in the middle of the morning.

The rest of the work is done by men, and the orchard on the mountain is left to the elderly and children.

Jiayin is too young to participate in these things.

She spent a while with the master and the two juniors who only knew how to eat and sleep in the morning, and then ran to Ye's yard.

Lord Hou has something to do temporarily, so he returned to Kyoto.

Dongmei took He Nanny, Shui Ling, and Shui Yun with her for several days, consciously describing the preferences and dispositions of everyone in the Li family, as well as the general situation of each family in the village.

So, she planned to send the three of them to Li's house, but Jiayin came first.

Several people hurriedly saluted, Jiayin waved her hands, and asked tenderly: "Nurse He, do you know who is married?"

rules? "

Mother He was stunned by the question, and quickly reacted and replied: "Miss Hui, although the old slave has been in the palace for many years, he doesn't know much about the rules of getting married. The old slave will talk to the miss first, if there is any If it is inappropriate, please forgive me, miss."

Jiayin said with a smile: "Mother He, foster father said that you will be my mother-in-law in the future, that you can be trusted, and that you can ask you if you don't understand. Don't be so polite, we don't beat and curse at people in our family, you are wrong No, don't be afraid."

Nanny He relaxed her tense back, raised her head slightly, and replied, "Miss, forgive me, this old slave is used to it, and I will definitely change it in the future."

Jiayin grabbed her hand and walked into the house, then called Shui Ling Shui Yun, "Help me and ask grandma to come here."

Shui Ling went out immediately, and quickly invited Mrs. Li into the East Wing.

The east wing of the Ye family is like the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion. Although Jiayin seldom comes to live in it, it is always tidied up, cleaned and ready for use at any time.

At this moment, Jiayin was sitting on the top of the kang eating snacks, and Nanny He and Dongmei were sitting on the edge of the kang.

Seeing the old lady approaching, everyone stood up.

Jiayin pulled the old lady onto the kang, "Grandma, Mother He wants to talk about the rules of getting married."

"Really?" The old lady was happy to hear that, took He Nanny's hand, and said, "Big sister, you have heard that my brother Huan is going to marry the daughter of Mr. Luo'an College. But, Our family comes from farming, so we really don't understand the rules of the scholar family.

"Tell us more

Well, it's a trivial matter to make jokes and embarrassment in our family. Don't let your daughter be wronged. After all, getting married is a big event in a lifetime. "

Nanny He didn't dare to put on airs, she quickly bowed her head and saluted, and then told some details she knew, and even mentioned some jokes in other people's homes, or small things that caused conflicts.

Everyone listened carefully, nodding or laughing from time to time.

In the end, Nanny He summed up a few words, "Lady, scholars actually value face more, and they call themselves noble. Therefore, whether it is a meeting gift or a betrothal gift, I don't like it to be too expensive, for fear that others will say that their family is greedy for money. daughter."

"Is that so," the old lady pondered, and asked, "Originally, I wanted to give the girl of the Peng family a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of pearl hair, and four pieces of brocade on the day of marriage proposal. From this point of view, I'm afraid it won't happen." ...then how do we change it?"

Jiayin blinked her big eyes twice, and interjected, "Grandma, Uncle brought back so many pearls earlier, give sister Peng a box and let her play with it, okay?"

Nanny He nodded immediately, "Ma'am, Miss, this is a good idea. I heard that Ms. Peng is skillful, why don't you give me two pieces of novelty fabrics, let her sew the dresses she likes, and send the pearls, and she can also make clothes she likes." jewelry.

"The most important thing is that when outsiders see it, they won't think that our family is showing off its wealth."

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll add a set of Four Treasures of the Study, two boxes of snacks, and make up four pieces." The old lady readily agreed.
