Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 266 errands
The days of reunion passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, and the new year was about to be celebrated.

Zixuan and Jinghan wanted to go back to Lin's house, so they couldn't spend their young years in Xu's house.Qingyuan and Qingyao had a lot of fun these past few days. They were going crazy with so many brothers and sisters.So when they heard that they were going home, both of them burst into tears.After coaxing Zixuan for a long time, he finally agreed to go home.

"Brother Hongchang, brother Hongbo, after the new year is over, you must come and play with me." Qingyuan held Hongbo and Hongchang's hands, and said with some reluctance.He gets along best with these two brothers.

"Okay, we will definitely look for you when the time comes." Hongbo patted Qingyuan on the shoulder and agreed.

Jinghan bid farewell to everyone over there, "Grandpa, grandma, we are going back, and we will come back after the third day of the first lunar month."

"Hey, let's go back. We are all fine, so you don't need to worry about it. Besides, the town and the village are very close, so you can come back whenever you have time. Spend more time with your in-laws when you have time. It's not easy for them. "The old man nodded. Although he was reluctant to part with it, it was not good to keep them at home. After all, Jing Han had already married into the Lin family.

Everything has been packed here, and everyone has sent a lot of things, which they say are for the old couple of the Lin family.Naturally, Jinghan is not easy to say anything, besides, there is no need to be polite to her own family, just take it for whatever.In this way, they brought three carts and brought two carts back.This made Zixuan laugh straight away, if he had known this earlier, why did he go back and forth?

At the end of noon, everything outside was ready.Zixuan hugged Qingyuan, Jinghan hugged Qingyao, left Xu's house, got into the carriage and went back.Everyone in the Xu family watched at the door, and they didn't go back until the carriage was out of sight.

Jinghan sat in the car, feeling a little sad.The natal family is always very important in a woman's heart.

Zixuan understood Jinghan, and reached out to hold Jinghan's hand, "When we have time, we will come back to live for a while. Your mother's home will always be your home."

Jinghan leaned on Zixuan and shook her head, "A place with you is home. My natal family is just my natal family, not ours."

When they returned to Lin's house, they had just entered the yard, and before they entered the house, they heard someone inside the house saying this loudly.But listening to this movement, it seemed that the speaker was a little emotional.

Zixuan and Jinghan glanced at each other, and they both recognized that the one with the louder voice was Lin Xingye's wife, Liu Shi.I just don't know what Mr. Liu is here for.

The couple entered the house with the child in their arms, "Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, we are back. Second uncle and second aunt are also here. It just so happened that we brought some things back from the town, some of which came from the capital. Two Uncle happened to take it back, these things are rare." Zixuan greeted the elders with a smile.

When Erlin's daughter-in-law saw Zixuan came back, she showed a flattering smile on her face, "Yo, my eldest nephew and nephew's wife are back, come, Qingyuan, let the second grandma hug you." Hug Qingyuan.

Qingyuan didn't know what was going on, but he didn't want her to hug him, so he twisted his body to avoid Liu's hand.

Embarrassed, Mrs. Liu laughed dryly, "This child is still afraid of being born."

Jing Han secretly laughed, this son of her family never knew how to write the word fear of birth.There are too many people in the family, he looks for everyone, and follows everyone without crying or making trouble.I was worried before, what if a stranger wants to take him away?Looking at it now, it turns out that the son understands everything in his heart, but he just doesn't say anything.

Jinghan handed the child to Qian, "Auntie, take the two of them to the back to sleep for a while. I got up early in the morning, and I was a little sleepy just now in the car."

Qian and Chuncao hurriedly took Qingyuan and Qingyao away.

After the child had left, Jinghan moved to the old lady's side, "Grandma, we haven't been home these few days, do you miss us?"

The old lady smiled, "I think, of course I do. Before you were out all the time, you didn't think much of it. Now that you're back, I know you're just staying in the town for a few days, but you're just thinking about it. Just send someone to call you back. How is it? Are your grandparents all right?"

"Okay, everything is fine, my grandfather said, after the new year, I will go back to the village when I have time, and you have a good get together." Jinghan replied with a smile.

Here the old lady chatted with Jinghan, and Zixuan talked to the old man and Xingjia over there, but Xingye and his wife were ignored.Liu's face changed a few times, and then he smiled and said to Zixuan. "Nephew, it's just that you are back, and my aunt has something to ask for your help."

It's not good for Zixuan to ignore Liu Shi anymore, so he looked back at Liu Shi and Xingye, and asked, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, what do you need from me?"

"That's the case. Isn't it Zifu who is also married? I wondered if I could ask my eldest nephew to help find some errand for Zifu. He has already married, so he must have an errand to support his family. The eldest nephew is now a prefect, and he is a senior official, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a better job for your younger brother?" Liu looked at Zixuan and said with a smile.

After Zixuan listened, he pondered for a while, and then said, "Second Aunt, you are my elder, and since you have spoken, I cannot refute your face."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately laughed, "Let me just say, my eldest nephew is not easy to make those six relatives deny him, and he will definitely help."

"Second Aunt, listen to me first. Second Aunt wants Zifu to find an errand with me, which is not too difficult. But, Second Aunt, do you understand? Zifu is not very literate, and There is no fame. Even in the yamen, you can only do a errand like a yamen servant, does Second Aunt think such an errand is okay?" Zixuan looked at Mrs. Liu, and then said.

Mrs. Liu nodded quickly, "Okay, any errand is fine."

The old man on the side was furious, "Ignorant fool, with a mother like you, Zifu will be killed by you for the rest of his life. The yamen servant who catches up quickly is a lowly servant, a slave who advocates high quality and so on. , future generations are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination. You ignorant woman, you are going to kill the descendants of my Lin family. Honestly farming at home, we are still farmers. I really don't know what else is going on in your mind?" The old man stared at his second son angrily.

When Mrs. Liu over there heard this, she quit immediately, "I said Zixuan, you don't think highly of your second uncle, you don't have your brother in your heart, do you? You are a high-ranking official yourself What do you think about letting your brother go to work as a slave? Do you want to harm us?"

Xingjia stood aside and quit, "Second daughter-in-law, what are you talking about? You are the one who has to find Zifu an errand. Zixuan just said what kind of errand he has, but it's not that Zixuan has to let Zifu Go. What does it matter to us whether you like to go or not?"

"I asked Zixuan to help Zifu find an errand, so didn't I want Zixuan to take care of his brother? People say that one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Our family Zixuan has done so much Why can't we let my brother get some credit? We don't ask for anything else, like the errands in the yamen, which are lighter and more lucrative, just arrange one for Zifu casually. But Zixuan said What kind of yamen servant catches up fast, isn’t that looking down on his brother? Do you still have people from our old Lin family in your eyes? Zixuan, you are promising, can’t you forget your ancestors?” Liu’s voice was a little sharp, In her opinion, this was an easy task, but Zixuan could do it with just one word.

Jing Han couldn't hold back anymore, "Second Aunt, if you say so, why do the court need officials? Those who are related to the royal family can just appoint anyone to be an official. Who cares?" Does he have the ability to be a good official? Anyway, they are all relatives of the royal family, who can't get a little bit of glory?"

Jinghan resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "There are rules for selecting officials in the imperial court. Even if you are a nine-rank master book or something, you must have a reputation as a scholar. My family is an upright official. If you want to choose a subordinate official, you have to have real talents and knowledge. How can you be cronyist, no matter whether the person has knowledge in his head or pretends to be a muddleheaded one?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately came to Jinghan, "Our elders are talking, how can it be your turn to speak? You said it lightly. Didn't your two younger brothers run to Zixuan that year?" , do you work in the county government?"

Jinghan snorted softly, "My two younger brothers did work in the county yamen, but they went there to practice and didn't get a penny. If Zifu didn't want money, Second Aunt, would you like it? Besides, Wenxuan and Wenchang already had the fame of scholars at that time, even if they worked in the county government office, they were in compliance with the rules. What is this?" Jinghan curled her lips, "Besides, even in Xianggong's government office If you really can employ people, then you have to follow Ziwen first, right? Ziwen is the younger brother of the husband, and he has a reputation as a scholar. From this point of view, even if it is the wheel, it will not be the turn of the second aunt's family Zifu. ?”

Mrs. Liu was robbed by Jing Han, and she blushed, "You, who taught you the rules? Are you so presumptuous in front of elders? Do you understand filial piety? Disrespecting elders, you are not filial."

Jinghan suddenly laughed, "Father, mother, some people say that my wife is not filial. I don't know if the second elder thinks the daughter-in-law is unfilial? If it is true, then ask the second elder to ask Zixuan to give me a letter of divorce and divorce me. That's it. Jinghan doesn't dare to put on the hat of being unfilial and stay with the Lin family."
