Chapter 347 Don't Make Me Guess
"You're right. Xi'er is a person with her own opinions. However, a formal visit is necessary. After all, our family has the intention of getting married. We can't let her parents have other ideas."

"Don't worry, if Nian'er finds out that Xi'er is coming back, he will definitely come here during the Chinese New Year. The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws. I'm preparing a gift right now. When my son comes back, we'll go to his house."

"Then why don't you go check on Xi'er first?"

"Okay, no problem, she just came back, let her be busy for a few days first."

Xi'er is really too busy these days, Liang Zhifu and Qi Yuan also came to join in the fun, after all, they had arranged for their rice before, and Quzhou became Xi'er's fiefdom, so she had to report when she came back.

Xi'er looked at the ledger while listening to their report.

"The second crop of rice is very successful, and now it has been promoted to the south. Some people in the north also buy seeds and plan to try planting"

"Um, any more?"

"In addition to the food handed over to the court every year, we keep a part of it privately for disaster relief."

"Where did the river go?"

“We are almost in Bianzhou”

"The speed is a bit slow, just find the construction section, and the states, counties and towns arrange manpower for excavation."

"The main reason is that the south is easy to be flooded. If it is flooded, the work will be stopped. In the north, in winter, the ground will freeze and digging will not be possible."

"Well, the river has been dug through. As long as there is no heavy rain in the future, the south will not be flooded again, and the north will have water to solve the drought."

Liang Zhifu put the account book in his hand on the table, "This is the account book for the past two years, do you want to have a look at it, Your Highness the Princess?"

"No, I believe you, if you need my help, just ask."

"I need your help."

"Just tell us anything, we are not outsiders."

"It's the one with the order, didn't you say let us come to you?"

Only then did Xi'er raise her head, "Sit down, what are you doing standing up, it turns out that you placed the order."

"Yes"

"What are you ordering that for? Tell me what you think."

"Our Quzhou has seven counties, fourteen towns, and more than 80 villages. It is considered a vast area, but the people work too hard. We applied for a sum of money from the imperial court and wanted to distribute a wheat thresher to each village. shell machine, milling machine, "

"Oh, I even thought of the name,"

"Do you know that there are more than 80 villages, and three of them in each village are more than 240 units. Do you know how valuable these things I make are?"

The two shook their heads, "One machine costs 1 taels, and three machines cost 3 taels. How much money did you two apply for?"

Governor Liang swallowed, "20 taels?"

"For 20 taels of silver, you want to buy something from me worth more than 200 million taels. Are you dreaming?"

"Hey, don't you want to discuss with His Royal Highness the eldest princess what to do?"

"Hehe, what can you do with what you said, except that I will do it for them at a loss? You won't pay the rest of the money, right?"

"I can't afford it, it's too much"

"Okay, I can make one wheat threshing machine for each village, but not the others."

"why?"

"The rice noodle shop is no longer in business?"

Liang Zhifu pondered for a while, "Understood, how about one threshing machine for each village?"

"Well, I can provide this to the villages for free, but you have to send someone to pull it, and then send someone to send it to the villages for resettlement."

"this is necessary"

"Come here at the end of April next year, I don't have time to do it now."

"Ok"

Liang Zhifu left, but Qi Yuan stayed and did not move, Xi'er looked up at him.

"Brother Qi, what else is there?"

"Little sister, I know you are busy. I heard that your medical skills are quite good?"

"Speak straight?"

"Do you have the kind of medicine that can make people lose their memory?"

"You want to feed your wife?"

Qi Yuan's face was not good-looking, "She is too troublesome, I want the family to be harmonious, she always picks and picks and finds troubles, I should divorce her, she has no natal family, I don't want to, but this family, everyone said It's hard for an upright official to break up family affairs, but my own family's affairs are really difficult to explain in one word."

"After so many years, it's time for her to calm down."

Xi'er flipped her hands and took out a porcelain bottle, "Give it to her, after a nap, it will be like what you said the next day."

"Thank you little sister."

Qi Yuan also left, Xi'er looked back at his slightly bent back, and sighed, saying that time makes people old, if this family is not harmonious, people will age quickly.

In a flash, a month passed, and Xi'er finally dealt with all the matters at hand.

Di Jiutian and his wife went to the fields with Mrs. Luo every day, planting this and that. They were very busy. Occasionally, they took a break to listen to books or listen to operas.

Either taste all kinds of delicacies in the small town, and the snow scene in winter makes the couple very happy.

They also gradually fell in love with this place. In fact, although the north is not as green all year round as the south, the four seasons are distinct in the north. Every season, you can experience the same things.

No, as soon as it entered the twelfth lunar month, God gave Huaishu Town another heavy snowfall.

With nothing to do, Xi'er just stayed in the house without going anywhere, reading a book and drinking tea, living a leisurely life.

It just so happened that at this time, Mrs. Qiao came. She didn't bring her children, but only two maids who were close to her. As soon as she entered the door, she winked at Xi'er.

"Busy working?"

"Just taking a breath, you came here, sit down, sister Qiao."

Xi'er poured her a cup of hot tea, "It's so cold outside, you must have something to do with me, right?"

Qiao Shi gave her a coquettish look, "Ask the question knowingly."

"I really don't know. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't let me guess."

"What about you and Jinnian?"

"The five-year test period has not passed, and I will not express my position on this matter."

"He is going to come back during the Chinese New Year, so you have to let your parents see him, and the old people on both sides should also clarify the matter?"

"There is no sign of horoscope, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Don't be in a hurry, I have to be in a hurry. My Mian'er is already twelve, and in a few years I will have a marriage discussion."

Speaking of this, Xi'er put down the book and took a sip of tea, "I have to talk about this, in the future try not to discuss marriage so early, and don't get married so early."

"What?"

"The statement that women are fourteen and ji can only mean that women have menarche at this age, but it does not mean that women have fully grown up."

"Huh? Menarche?"

"Women's sunflower water first comes, usually at the age of 14, so they ordered the women's 30th and Jiji, but the women are fully grown, and the uterus for the child is not fully grown until the age of [-]. This period is the most suitable for childbearing, don't ask Mian'er to get married too early, it will be bad for her health."

"But, everyone is like this. If Mian'er married late, then all the men her age would have married."

Xi'er nodded, "This problem will be resolved soon. Our Heavenly Empire will become richer and stronger in the future. The population issue should also be included in the national policy."

"When is the best time for a man and a woman to get married?"

"You can get engaged first and then get married. Females should be 20 years old and males should be over [-] years old. In fact, it is better for men and women to have a larger age difference."

"why?"

"Men mature late, and when men reach their fifties, they have a great need for intercourse, while women, after menopause at 49, are always unable to meet the needs of men. It is better to have a bigger difference."

"You look down on Jinnian, isn't it because of these?"

Xi'er was choked by her words, "I'm talking about business, can you stop mixing me with Jinnian?"
