Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 243
"Lu Shangshu, you have no proof and no certificate, you just slander the court officials with red lips and white teeth, what is your intention?" When Master Chen heard what Master Lu said about himself, he immediately exploded, and asked with a thick neck road.

"In the same way, what is the intention of Mr. Chen to slander Lin Zhi County with alcohol without evidence?" Lu Shaojin didn't take Mr. Chen seriously at all, and said calmly.

In a word, Master Chen choked there. "In short, it is true that he obtained more than one hundred thousand taels of silver from the merchants. More than 100 merchants have testified to this point. It is not the official who slandered him." Mr. Chen said, poking his neck.

"Then what if Lin Zhi County spent all the money on building dams? How can this be called Lin Zhi County's corruption?" Lord Lu smiled contemptuously, "I haven't found out the matter yet, just talking nonsense here, Mr. Chen I'm afraid the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials will be replaced?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that Linzhi County is doing the right thing. During the severe drought, the water level is also low, so the construction of the dam will be stronger. Who can guarantee that it will not happen in the future? Is there a flood? If it is repaired at this time, it will definitely save a lot of trouble in the future. Your Majesty, the predecessors have said that those who do not plan for eternity will not plan for a while. It is really rare for Linzhi County to see the long-term. Unlike some People are obviously short-sighted, but they don't realize it." Lu Shaojin didn't care about that, and directly said that Mr. Chen was short-sighted.

The emperor nodded, in a good mood.This Lu Shaojin is worthy of being his confidant, and these words really said everything he wanted to say. "Lu Aiqing is right. Lin Zixuan has already handed over the memorial regarding Lin Zixuan's construction of the dam, and I agree. As for collecting some money from merchants, this is also reasonable. In every state and county in the world, which one uses money? At that time, they didn’t collect it from the merchants? How come Lin Zixuan was impeached by others, but not others? Dear dear friends, could there be something tricky about it?”

The emperor's tone was cold, and all the ministers below were a little worried.This Lin Zixuan, who was the number one scholar at the beginning, was sent to such a remote place by the emperor.Everyone thought that the emperor had a grudge because of his refusal to marry the princess, so he got him to Zhendong and left him to fend for himself.But unexpectedly, in the past few years, Lin Zixuan has made a lot of achievements in Zhendong.Some people will inevitably have some thoughts in their hearts. Just now, there were a few ministers who wanted to echo Mr. Chen's words, but now they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, secretly thinking dangerously.

"If your family has nothing else to do, then retreat from the court." The emperor was a little disappointed.What happened in the court could not be said to be loyal, treacherous, good or evil, but it was only driven by interests.Over the years, he has already seen through it, these ministers, as long as they can do the things that have been handed down, they will be fine.If it doesn't involve the interests of these people, it's fine. If your own interests are damaged, then just wait for them to make trouble.

The eunuch next to him shouted, and then the emperor withdrew his court and left.

In June, there were two rains here in the east of the town, which finally eased the drought.Under Zixuan's order, the dikes and dams in various places have been completely built on June [-]th, and the moat has also been completely completed.However, because of the severe drought before, there was no water in the newly dug moat.

Zixuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. On the night when the work was completed, Zixuan lay down early to sleep.Until the end of the morning of the next day, he still hadn't woken up.Jinghan knew that Zixuan was really exhausted physically and mentally, and he should relax, so she told him not to disturb Zixuan, and let him have a good sleep.

The sky outside was a bit cloudy, Jinghan had nothing to do, so she coaxed her two sons to play in the yard.

"Jinghan, why do I look like it's going to rain this day? You said it's weird, the whole month of May, not even half a drop of rain fell. Now it's June, but it's raining continuously I have played several times. I hope it won’t rain continuously like this, otherwise, I’m afraid it will be like what those old farmers said, there will be a flood.” With something in his hand, Qian is feeding Jinghan’s second son Qingyao What about eating?

Jinghan looked up at the sky and sighed. "Auntie, God wants to show his power, and none of us can do anything about it. When we came to the east of this town, the weather has not been smooth and rainy for the past few years, but it is almost the same. The weather today is really abnormal. Fortunately, we have Do everything that needs to be done, and leave the rest to fate.”

While talking, Jing Han heard movement in the room, so she laughed. "Zixuan is awake, I'll go in and have a look." Then he got up and entered the room.

After entering the back room, Zixuan really woke up, maybe because he had slept a lot and was still a little dazed. "Lady, what time is it?"

"It's already the beginning of time. I see that you are sleeping soundly, so no one will disturb you. Anyway, things are almost the same now, and you should take a rest. You are really exhausted these days." Jinghan came to Zixuan's side , reached out and touched Zixuan's thin cheek.

Zixuan held Jinghan's hand and smiled, "Aren't you the same? Look at you, you are darker and thinner than before. Jinghan, let's resign and return home after my term here is over. Right. I’m a little tired of being an official. Working hard and laboriously, my wife and children will not be safe. In the end, I will be criticized by the superior after doing something. This official’s work is really boring. Besides, we have been out for a few years I haven't even been able to go back to see my parents, it's really unfilial."

Since the two came to the east of this town, because of Jinghan's pregnancy and childbirth, they couldn't go back during the Chinese New Year.That is to say, it was only for a period of time that Jinghan lived at home, and Zixuan was involved in business affairs, so he had no chance to go back.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want. If you are an official, I will accompany you. When you go home to farm, I will also accompany you. No matter what you do, I am your wife, and I will always be by your side Yes." Jinghan smiled.To be honest, Zixuan's character is too upright, and he is also very serious in his work, and he doesn't know the methods of obedience and obedience.In the officialdom, if Li Mingrui hadn't taken care of him, he would have offended someone and been dismissed.

"If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?" Zixuan said with emotion.

"Okay, get up and wash up quickly, don't go to the Yamen today, play with me and my sons at home. Take a good rest for a day, and you can get up to deal with business tomorrow. We don't care about the future, we are still here If you are in a position, you have to be worthy of the local people. Being a monk for a day hits the clock, and we have to do what we have to do." Jinghan found clean clothes and gave them to Zixuan to change into.

After Zixuan changed his clothes and washed up again, the two of them left the room.It happened that Qingyuan got a grasshopper from nowhere and was playing with it.

As soon as Qingyuan saw his father, he ran over directly, "Daddy, hug me." As he said that, he stretched out his small arms for Zixuan to hug.

Qingyuan's appearance is much like Zixuan's.Only those eyes were very lively, and one could tell they were ghostly, like Jing Han.

Zixuan bent over to pick up his eldest son, looked at the big grasshopper in his hand, "Who caught this for you?"

"It was caught by Uncle Changxing. Uncle said that this thing can be roasted and eaten. He also said that when he was young, he loved to catch this thing the most." Qingyuan frowned slightly, a little hard to understand why Uncle Changxing loved it. What about eating this big bug?
Zixuan laughed, being reminded of his childhood memories by his son's words.Isn't it?What I used to love most was to go to the wild, catch this kind of big grasshopper, then pull off the head, throw it into the fire and cook it to eat.At that time, it was a rare delicacy.

"Son, these things were eaten by daddy when he was young. At that time, there was no good food to eat, so daddy would take the second uncle together, go outside to catch grasshoppers, and then burn them to eat. Now you have a lot of delicious food Yes, let’s keep this thing for fun.” Zixuan looked at the big grasshopper in Qingyuan’s hand, not to mention, it’s really big.The back thighs have been removed, and the wings have been taken off, leaving only the front four calves. This guy is doomed.

"Well, I don't want to eat it, so keep it to play with me." Although Qingyuan was small, he was articulate, not at all like a four-year-old child. "Daddy, my younger brother is looking at you. Let me down and hug my younger brother. You haven't played with us for a long time." Qingyuan loved his younger brother Qingyao very much, and twisted his small body to let Zixuan put him down.

Zixuan put down the eldest son, then took the younger son from Jinghan's arms, and kissed Qingyao's tender little face. "Son, do you miss Daddy?"

This little guy is only one year old and over two months old, and he still doesn't know a lot of words, but just lays on Zixuan's body with a smile.He called Daddy, and kissed Zixuan directly on the face.

Zixuan's heart was filled with satisfaction, "My lady, let's have a daughter sometime. It would be even better if we had another daughter." Zixuan still hoped to have a daughter, like Jinghan.

Jinghan laughed, how can they decide this matter?

Chun Xing came over, "Master, madam, lunch is ready in the kitchen, should we eat first? Master didn't eat in the morning." Now Chun Tao is married, Chun Xing is young, and has not yet engaged in marriage. Getting married.Of course, they did not marry anyone else, but the two young servants that Zixuan brought from home back then, Changxing and Changwang.These two people can now be in charge of their own affairs.

"Then let's eat first. After we eat, let's go out for a walk." Zixuan was also a little hungry at the moment, so he hugged his youngest son, led his eldest son, and the family entered the house.

After lunch, the family went shopping.Today's Zhendong County is full of shops, where you can buy everything.Zixuan bought a ceramic mask for Qingyuan and a small windmill for Qingyao, and the two little guys hugged Zixuan and kissed fiercely.

Jinghan walked behind, looking at the big and small in front of her, feeling really satisfied.Maybe there will be children again in the future. At that time, the scene will be more fun with a bunch of little radish heads back and forth.
