Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 228 Get Ready
The Guan family's new house is still the same. After the New Year's Eve, many things at home will start to get busy.

A-mei happily came to pick up Yang'er, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, is your natal family's business lively?"

"lively."

How could it not be lively, it was extremely lively when it was made like that.

A-mei didn't understand the meaning of Li Xin's words, and she was still congratulating Li Xin on his becoming the village head.

Guan Wen unloaded the back strap and put it in the kitchen. A-mei said to Li Xin, "By the way, sister-in-law, someone came to see you and elder brother yesterday..."

As soon as she said the words, Amei blushed slightly, and her head drooped slightly.

Li Xin asked in surprise, "Yesterday? February [-]nd?"

"That's right." A-mei said softly, "It's that... Wei Shusheng, who asked you to visit their house sometime..."

As Amei spoke, she kept twisting her fingers and looking around.After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked at Li Xin with an earnest expression on his face.

Li Xin paused, pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Let's find a date? He didn't mention the specific date?"

A-mei said softly: "No, he is afraid that the eldest brother and sister-in-law will not have time..."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Then sister, you didn't make an appointment with him?"

"I..." A-mei said in a soft voice: "I made a promise for my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and said that I will definitely go, but the date... the date has not been set yet..."

As she spoke, Amei looked around with a guilty conscience.

Seeing her like that, Li Xin wondered, did Amei have something for that Wei Shusheng?
Think about it, Wei Shusheng is young and handsome, good-looking, and a scholar. A scholarly boy looks fair and clean, and he is comfortable to look at overall.If Amei falls in love with Wei Shusheng, it will be a good thing that this marriage can be made.

Li Xin glanced at A-mei, and said with a smile: "In a few days, I think I will go to the town. If it is appropriate, I will go to see your fifth sister and ask her to help pass a letter. It seems that the last time your fifth sister came back I told me about Wei Shusheng's treat, but I forgot about it during this time."

A-mei nodded quickly, and Li Xin smiled and said, "Scholar Wei is indeed rare. Although he is a scholar, it is rare that he is not as impetuous as a scholar. He is kind, courteous, and filial. There is no marriage yet. I don't know which girl is so lucky..."

While talking, Li Xin secretly looked at Amei's expression, seeing that her face was really peach blossom, blushing, and naturally she felt a little bit more in her heart.

After thinking about it, it would be a good thing if the marriage of these two young children could be facilitated.

Guan Wu's new house has already started construction, Xing'er found an excuse to bring Xiao Kang to Guan's new house every day, but she always stays for a while before leaving, and occasionally meets Guan Wu, and the two of them whisper for a while.Li Xin's new house provided them with a good place.

Yang'er's personality gradually became cheerful, and he played with Xiaokang every day.After the New Year's Eve, the two kids didn't feel so cold anymore, and they started playing in the mud.Li Xin didn't care about them, he just told them not to freeze and let them play near home.

The "dog" Erhei is more sleepy than usual in winter, but now he is gradually getting better. He goes to the stone field every day to have fun, and when he comes back, he follows Li Xin's lap.

At the old juncture, he cheerfully continued to tidy up his bamboos, leaving all the work of cutting and moving the bamboos to Guan Wen.

As for Guan Wen...

Apart from watching him move the bamboo twice a day, Li Xin seldom saw other people. He even ate his meals in a hurry and left in a hurry.Li Xin thought he was helping his second brother with the house, so he couldn't help but went to ask Guan Wu, but Guan Wu told him that he didn't see his elder brother either.

So what has Guan Wen been up to lately?
Finally one night after dinner, Li Xin stood next to Guan Wen while he was washing up and asked him.

"What are you busy with all day long? Why can't you be seen?"

Li Xin poured some hot water into his basin, Guan Wen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Going to work."

"What are you doing?"

"No big deal."

Guan Wen smiled at her, picked up the basin and poured it into the foot basin, and said, "I've been tired all day, hurry up and go to bed."

Li Xin was so angry that she pursed her lips and looked at him and said, "Ah Wen, what did you do, you have to tell me and let me make wild guesses. Is it interesting?"

Hearing that his daughter-in-law's words were already tinged with anger, Guan Wen paused for a moment, sighed and said, "Okay, I'll just tell you, it's not a big deal."

Guan Wen said: "I went to Uncle He twice to inquire about the progress of the Hetanzi you mentioned, and then I went to the Hetanzi a few times to clean it up in the past two days."

Guan Wen smiled and said: "No matter what the result of Uncle He's question is, it is always right to prepare earlier."

Li Xin stared at him blankly, and suddenly asked him in a low voice: "What's wrong with telling me about this..."

"I'll tell you when it's done, you have too many things to worry about." Guan Wen stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder and said, "You take care of everything at home, and you can annoy you with everything you want. , I don’t have that face. I don’t have any other skills, but I still have strength. Although my brain is not as good as yours, I promise to help you finish what you say. Otherwise, Yang’er will say it too, dad No mother has the ability, so I lose face."

Li Xin laughed lightly, and gave him a sideways glance: "Fortunately, you are not a macho man..."

"What... idea?" Guan Wen asked puzzledly, "I'm not some kind of man?"

"It's nothing." Li Xin pushed him: "Sometimes you are hateful, but sometimes you are a good man. Hurry up and wash up and go to sleep."

After a few days like this, before Li Xin went to town, Uncle He came to find him first.

He Fanchang still had a smile on his face when he came here, and when he sat down in Guan's new house, Li Xin poured red date tea for him, and He Fanchang smiled and said: "The thing you said last time, it's true. I asked about my eyebrows."

"Uncle He, just say it." Guan Wen asked hurriedly as he sat on the lower right of He Fanchang.

He Fanchang said: "Originally, that piece of land belonged to your Guan family. The Yamen doesn't care much about the division of the family. After all, the surname of the land is Guan. It's just that the river beach has never been cultivated. , so even though the surname of the land is Guan, I still have to go to the Yamen to make a clerk, write it down, and make a certificate."

He Fan often took a sip of tea and said, "Since our current sage was enthroned, the land and other things are very important. These are all to be certified. Now there are still rumors, It is said that the saint wants the officials and lords of the state capitals to re-count the types and quantities of land..."

He Fan often talked about this matter and vaguely felt that the emperor was "tossing around", but Li Xin was a little surprised, the emperor's mind is not simple!

According to her shallow knowledge of the dynasty, the emperor had always been controlled by his relatives and dignitaries before and after he came to the throne, and only after he came to power did he gradually show his benevolent style, and he acted vigorously and reformed one after another.It is not guaranteed that when he has no real power, those nobles enclose land and so on, and the land will fall into their hands.The emperor now wants to re-measure the land, and the intention is not unreasonable.

Of course, none of this had much to do with her.She now mainly wants to understand the paperwork issues about Hetanzi.

"...That's not difficult. Just wait and see, tomorrow. Is there anything wrong with your family? If there is nothing wrong, we will go to the yamen together and let the county lieutenant handle the paperwork."

He Fan often looked at Guan Wen, Guan Wen glanced at Li Xin, nodded and said, "Then do as Uncle He wants."

"Alright, I'll let Chunsheng bring the carriage tomorrow, hurry up."

Li Xin and Guan Wen thanked He Fanchang, and after seeing him off, Li Xin murmured to Guan Wen, "Do you think it takes a lot of money to do the paperwork?"

Guan Wen was taken aback, and Li Xin said, "I'm afraid that the county captain will procrastinate and want to collect money openly or secretly..."

"Probably not, Uncle He is here." Guan Wen comforted her, "It's okay, just go and have a look tomorrow."

To Li Xin's surprise, the next day, when he arrived at the entrance of the village in Uncle He's carriage, he saw a carriage driving towards him. The driver was wearing the clothes of a servant, and he vaguely saw a man on the flag of the carriage. "Shen" word.

Li Xin quickly asked He Chunsheng to stop the car, and shouted at the passing carriage, "Is it the Shen family?"

The carriage gradually stopped, and Han Kui stuck his head out of the window.

Han Kui immediately called out "Siblings and Sisters of the Guan Family", then retracted his head and got out of the car, and said to Li Xin with a smile, "I'm going to your house to pick you up, everything here has been arranged, just wait Brother and sister Guan, you are here to teach me."

Li Xin got out of the carriage, and after hearing this, he hurriedly smiled modestly: "I can't give you advice." Then he pointed to the carriageway of He's family: "Today, I happen to be going to the county government to do something."

"That's just right. Brother Guan and his younger siblings will put on shoes at our house together after finishing the business." Han Kui said with a smile, "Sister Guan will teach those workers how to work. One day may not be enough."

Since Han Kui said so, Li Xin couldn't refuse.Seeing that the He family's carriage was crowded, Han Kui offered Guan Wen and his wife to ride in the Shen's carriage, while he chatted with Uncle He, while He Chunsheng was still driving the carriage outside.

Feeling that it was still early in the town, they went to the Yamen to do paperwork first.

I don't know if it's because of He Bo's identity as the village head, or Han Kui's face, or because Catcher Lu who met halfway opened the door for them. He hummed twice, but the paperwork was done very smoothly.

Li Xin took the document and handed it to Guan Wen, said a few polite words with He Fanchang, thanked the father and son for making a special trip for their family affairs, and agreed to invite them to dinner next time, then Send them back to the village.

The Shen residence was very close to the yamen, and there was no need for a carriage. Han Kui asked the coachman to set up the carriage and went back to the residence, and asked Guan Wen and Li Xin to walk to the Shen residence.

On the way, Han Kui looked at Guan Wen more, and asked Guan Wen meaningfully: "Is Brother Guan's sister doing well in An He Tang?"

Guan Wen was a little puzzled, but he still said politely: "It should be pretty good, last time I looked at people more calmly."

Han Kui just laughed, but Li Xin's heart skipped a beat.

She only thought that Han Kui came to Shen's mansion to discuss with Mrs. Shen the process of teaching cream, water and skin care, but she forgot that there was also something between the third master of the Shen family and Axiu!
