Chapter 363 Grange
Mrs. Jiang naturally agreed when she heard the words, thinking that she didn't go to see her sister and brother-in-law when she returned to Zhangshui Town this time, so she said with a smile: "My sister and brother-in-law will be filial piety after the Chinese New Year. They should come to the state capital by then, right?"

Dong's brother-in-law Ding You has been working for the past three years, and he will definitely come to the state capital for activities when he is a filial piety, to see if he can find a fat job outside.

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "That's for sure, but I don't know if I can find a good job at that time."

"It must be no problem, grandma, didn't you say that my aunt is destined to be rich, and this time my uncle is a filial piety, and my aunt will be the wife of the county magistrate no matter what." Li Meier comforted Mrs. Li with a smile.

Only then did Mrs. Li have a smile on her face, and said very proudly: "That is, when your aunt was young, your grandfather used her horoscope to calculate, and the fortune teller said that your aunt has wealth in her life. Looking at it now, Didn't it come true?"

"Did the fortune teller tell me about my father's fate, and whether he will be a high official in the future?" Although Li Mei'er was skeptical about these superstitious activities, she still couldn't help being curious.

"That's naturally the fate of being a high official, and she said that she can meet the emperor in the future." Mrs. Li was still complacent, thinking that her son must have a bright future in the future, completely forgetting that the fortune teller also said that she and the old man would grow up in the future. Life is a hundred years old.

After talking about Li Qingqing and his wife for a while, Jiang also thought of his younger brother who was far away in the capital, and couldn't help thinking about it, and sighed: "I don't know how they are doing now?

Mrs. Li smiled, "What can I do? Be a master of the Imperial Academy, and be prestige."

Li Mei'er also echoed, "That's right, uncle has always been safe in the world, and being an official must be a good thing, mother, you don't have to worry."

"After two years when Ayan goes to the capital to take part in the examination, we will be able to see his in-laws and the others. It's just a blink of an eye. You don't have to worry about Mei Er's mother. Doesn't the uncle often write to me, saying They are doing well in the capital." Mrs. Li comforted her daughter-in-law again.

Jiang Shi nodded and smiled. She was actually afraid that Jiang Yanzhi would only report good news and not bad news in the letter. After all, living in the capital is not easy, and her natal family is not familiar with the place. It must have been very difficult when she first went there, but after all With the temperament of the elder brother, he would naturally pick out the good things and say those bad things by himself. Now she also hopes that the two years will pass quickly, so that she can go to the capital to visit her parents and brothers.

Regarding the mid-autumn festival ceremony, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed and decided, and then the harvest in the fields after autumn. Mrs. Li used to say that she helped Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing save money to buy land. Of course she didn't say that. By the way, apart from the hundreds of acres of ancestral land in Zhangshui Town, after the family arrived in the state capital, they actually bought a lot of land, although not all of them were high-quality fields. They were handed down from generation to generation by the big clans, and after all, they sold less, but they still relied on Li Xin's relationship to buy hundreds of acres of land in the suburbs of the city, including both high-grade and middle-grade fields.

The produce of the family's fields is naturally collected by Mrs. Li, and her old man is still the head of the family.Jiang's private house belongs to Jiang, and Mrs. Li doesn't want it either.What's more, she asked Mrs. Jiang to figure out Jiang Shanqing's income from the field, and took a special record to explain to Jiang Yanzhi and Jiang Shanqing in the future.

After calculating the income in the field, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang have been cheerful for several days, which shows that the harvest is not bad.

Taking advantage of the approaching Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone went to Baoguo Temple to burn incense and take an outing together. Furthermore, they also wanted to see the fields that their family owned, which was also at the foot of Baoguo Temple.

Although they are not all first-class fertile fields, they are not bad, and they are divided among several tenants.These tenants altogether appointed a man surnamed Zheng to be the steward, and reported to Jiang about the field.

This time, Mrs. Jiang wanted Li Meier to practice more, so she asked her to connect with the manager. Li Meier would pretend to listen, and then said, "I know you have worked hard this year. For those who celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, each household has two jars of wine and two pork legs. , Minger, Uncle Zheng, you can go to my house and get a point for everyone, which means celebrating the festival."

Guanshi Zheng smiled and expressed his gratitude, thinking that although the owner is young, he is very open-eyed.

Steward Zheng did not despise Li Meier because of her young age, but told Li Meier very respectfully about the things in the field, and asked the woman in the family to kill chickens and sheep to entertain Li's family for dinner. Going back to her noodle shop, she declined politely, and steward Zheng sent them all the way to see them get into the car.

In the car, Li Meier asked Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li for credit, "Mother, is what I just said still true?"

Jiang Shi laughed, "It's kind of like that."

Li Meier was delighted when she heard the words.

Mrs. Li was a little dissatisfied and said, "Why are you so generous this time, the family has two pig legs." There is also wine.

Li Mei'er has her own set of ideas, "It's what you get if you give up. Now we are being generous. The tenants know that we are good hosts, so it's easy to work. But there is a limit to being good. People must be good. , the bad-minded people will feel that you are easy to bully, so it’s good to be good, but you can’t make people think you are easy to bully.”

Mrs. Li didn't expect her granddaughter to think so transparently, she nodded and praised with a smile on her face, "Young girl finally has some sense."

Li Meier said solemnly, "Grandmother, I have always had great wisdom, it's just that you didn't realize it."

"I just praised you, but this tail is going to go up to the sky." Mrs. Li gave her an annoyed look, thinking that a girl's film really can't be praised.

The group went back to Li Meier's noodle shop again, and saw that the business was really good, and then Mrs. Li felt relieved, thinking that her granddaughter's purchase at this shop was not at a loss, and the group ate lunch in the noodle shop before going down the mountain went home.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Ang took his servants and Shutong to the state capital. Mrs. Jiang and Li Meier went to pick him up at the pier in person. Li Xin and Li Jian came with him, and the group went to Baiweilou for a banquet. Entrusted to Li Meier's family.

Li Ang didn't have any nostalgia for his own father and grandfather. He went home with Li Meier very happily. As soon as he entered her house, he said very familiarly: "Sister Meier, I know this house better than you. I came here when I was young." When I was playing in the state capital, I lived here, and now this is your home, it is really a fate." After finishing speaking, she turned around and asked Li Meier, "By the way, where do I live?"

Seeing his familiar appearance, Li Mei'er said angrily: "You live in the West Wing, there are still vacant rooms there, my mother has already packed it for you." As she said that, she was about to lead him there.
