Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 606
That's the way it is said, but after all, the shop didn't just open on a whim.

Li Xin asked Guan Wen if he had considered what kind of shop he wanted to open, whether he should still open a fur shop or find another business, Guan Wen only shook his head.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I just feel that there is too much money in my hand, and it is useless to hold it in my hand."

Guan Wen told Li Xin what was on his mind, and Li Xin understood what he was thinking, so she didn't object, and followed him to think about it.

After all, this matter is not urgent, because the spring plowing will start soon.

Even though the family's field was watched by Mr. Niu, Guan Wen still stayed at home for more than ten days, wandering around the paddy fields that belonged to his family with Mr. Niu every day.

The coldness of winter gradually subsided, and the spring breeze in February was like scissors, and the temperature rose quickly. Yang'er took off his thick cotton jacket, and the frostbite on his ears gradually disappeared. About to look like a big boy.

Because of studying with Mr. Fu, Yang'er's scholarly taste became more and more intense, and his gestures and gestures were different from those of the mud monkeys in the village.

Hui County can be regarded as a wealthy county and town. The Three Treasures of Hui County are famous all over the world, and the economy of the nearby villages will not be bad.Xiahe Village is poorer than Lijia Village and Hehua Village because of its distance and inconvenient location.

Yizhou has a suitable climate and harmonious water and heat. It is a good place for people to live, and there are few disaster years.Except for the severe freeze in the winter of the previous year, in which some people's crops were frozen to death and damaged, there were no other natural disasters.

But after all, this is not the case everywhere. After the beginning of spring, news came one after another that the area around Yuzhou and Jingzhou was very cold this winter. Some villages froze to death, and countless crops were frozen to death. Seriously, a village was relocated, and people left without a trace. Many families were destroyed or sold themselves as slaves, or made a living by begging. The situation was terrible.

The magistrates of the two prefectures went to heaven to listen, and the young emperor immediately ordered disaster relief to help the victims rebuild their homes.What is the specific situation, I haven't heard anyone who can elaborate.

Inconvenient transportation hinders the dissemination of information.

Guan Wen let out a long sigh, his tone full of embarrassment: "Not everywhere is peaceful."

Li Xin nodded, with a worried look on his brows, but he quickly smiled and said: "Fortunately, the incumbent is a good emperor who governs the country with his heart, and the most fearful thing is that something will happen. Let the situation calm down or worsen." In a disaster year, human life is like a waste, and the current emperor can quickly send out news of disaster relief, but he is also a good emperor who cares about the people.

Guan Wen still frowned and said, "I just don't know how much relief money will reach the victims in the end."

This era can be regarded as a revival era. The reigning emperor was young, and he liked to recruit new and cutting-edge courtiers into his camp, and wanted to disintegrate and disintegrate the power of those pedantic and deeply rooted old courtiers.In the process of his reform, the old stubborn people always persuaded him with the patriarchal law of the ancestors, which made the reform ineffective. Although it was not difficult, there were really too few people who could be used by the emperor.

Although Guan Wen and Li Xin didn't understand the affairs of the court, they still knew a little bit after listening to the stories of the common people.

It's nothing more than the upper-level officials, but the middle-level officials are more corrupt. If each person digs a little, and finally falls into the hands of the victims, one-tenth of the allocated relief money will be considered good.

It's not that the common people spread rumors, but that there was such a case of corruption and fraud in the court a few years ago.That case involved a lot, and the final investigation revealed that the government and the public knew that the emperor had not long been on the throne at that time. With the trial of this case, "the new official took office three fires", and all the principal culprits in the case were sent to prison, showing his decisiveness. mind.Later, the perpetrator's home was raided, but only the perpetrator's family members were sentenced to exile. The crime was not as good as the innocent, and the people all over the world praised him, saying that the new emperor was a good emperor with a benevolent heart and benevolence, but he did not condone corrupt officials.

But then there was another incident where the dam collapsed, and the imperial court allocated money to rebuild the dam, but because the money was not in place, the whole project cut corners, causing the dam to collapse again the next year.

So since then, whenever there is a transfer of money from the imperial court, there will always be common people guessing, will there be corrupt officials to embezzle the money this time?If there is, will the emperor check it?
But after all, these are the concerns of those powerful and powerful people. Most of the common people are wise and safe people. At most, they sighed at the suffering of the victims, and then continued to live behind closed doors.

After spring plowing, the temperature rises faster, spring flowers bloom everywhere, and the wild flowers in the mountains seem to bloom overnight.

Feng Defa is very happy, the bees no longer lack nectar, and he has been smiling all these days.

Later, Mrs. Liu and Li Xin brought news that the marriage between Li Tie and the girl from the Lu family had been finalized.

Liu smiled and said to Li in a low voice: "Your aunt spent a lot of money, and it hurts me to look at her."

Li Xin grinned.

Mrs. Liu has been aggrieved for so many years, but now she is finally proud.

She can proudly say: "It doesn't matter if you are Boss Li or Youngest Li, whoever's baby is not as good as my baby!"

How much Li Houzhong's family is now, Li Xin has never asked, but she knows that the money of her natal family is in her mother's hands.The money earned by the eldest brother and the second brother is their own pocket, and the wealth of the family makes everyone in the village envious.Of course there are those who speak sour words, and the first one is Li Houbo.

Uncle Li Xin is a little narrow-minded. When Li Yueshi was still alive, he had to calculate with his younger brother for the old lady's coffin, not to mention that when the family was separated, he was the eldest brother. He never thought about taking care of his younger brother, and took away all the valuables at home with Uncle Li Houzhong, leaving Li Houzhong alone to be so aggrieved, and lived through these years of hard life.

Now seeing that his second brother, who was not as wealthy as his at the beginning, has become richer, the words that come out of his mouth are a little sour.

What about "Second brother, you are so prosperous, you don't even talk about taking care of my elder brother and me", "Second brother, you have a rich family, don't let your mother-in-law take it all away, you have to keep some in your pocket to be confident, right? ", "When will the second brother be filial to my elder brother and me"... and so on.

Li Houzhong didn't tell his family that he was not a fool, so he could hear the sourness in his elder brother's words.But he also knew that if he told his mother-in-law, it might be another roar of the Lion in the River East.So he also went in with his left ear and out of his right ear, and lived his peaceful life leisurely, showing off his wife when he had nothing to do, teasing his little girl and granddaughter, and talking to his grandson, it was so beautiful.

As for Mrs. Liu, an old woman, after being shy in the previous period, she is proud now.She can still have a baby at her age!Who doesn't envy those women in the village who speak sour words?What's more, after Li Ge's face has grown a bit, his eyebrows are picturesque, pink and tender, and he looks like a beauty. Who doesn't envy her for giving birth to a beautiful daughter?
Not to mention that her sons and daughters are all promising, and now Mrs. Liu doesn't have to go to the fields to do work other than cooking and feeding the chickens. The days are very leisurely, her complexion has improved a lot, and she looks a few years younger The appearance is even more enviable.

So in comparison, Liu's life is much better than her two sisters-in-law.

Mrs. Jin is not in the village. Although Mrs. Zhu is usually peaceful, her face is a little ugly at the moment.

People are all compared, and Zhu's has no superiority in front of Liu's at all.

Fortunately, Li Tie's marriage has been settled this time, and Zhu Shi is relieved, but she has paid a lot of money, which still makes her a little depressed.

Mrs. Liu persuaded her, but of course she was happy in her heart.

In the past, she was the only one who worried about money, but now it's your turn to worry about money too?
Matchmaker Zeng learned a lot from a pitfall, and she still managed to do things properly. Mrs. Zhu said she would give benefits, but she didn't give anything. She gave Matchmaker Zeng a small red envelope. Matchmaker Zeng said secretly to Mrs. Zhu: Forget it, her niece and daughter don't give her that little money for doing things for her."

Mrs. Zhu had no choice. There were so many mouths waiting to eat at home. There was not much money left from the money that the Yang family had given at the beginning. When Li Yin got married, he still had to spend money, and the family didn't have much extra income...

Mrs. Liu said to Li Xin: "Your auntie is worried now. When her youngest son gets married, their family will be separated, and it will be a mess."

Li Xin was puzzled: "Separate the family, so the family will be separated. After the third brother gets married, the family will also be separated?"

Liu stared: "Of course the situation of your uncle's family is much more special. Originally, when the family was divided, the parents would live with the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law would take care of the elders for the rest of their lives, but your eldest brother is gone. It fell to the second cousin. But your sister-in-law and Dajiang nephew are still there, so what about this matter?"

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, then asked Liu Shi in a low voice: "Mother, you said that if the sister-in-law of the lobby remarries..."

In Li Xin's point of view, although the lobby sister-in-law Gu is a dead man, but she is less than thirty years old, is she going to be a widow for the rest of her life?The imperial court encourages widows to remarry, and does not advocate chastity.

Mrs. Liu quickly waved her hand and said, "You can't take this outside and talk about it."

Mrs. Liu looked outside the main room, and whispered to Li Xin just now: "Your uncle and the others definitely don't want your sister-in-law in the lobby to find someone to marry again. Anyway, there are three children below. What should I do? I don't like looking at your sister-in-law, I want to guard your brother-in-law in my heart."

Li Xin sighed a little, but he could only say: "In a few years, when Da Jiang grows up, he will be able to be filial to his sister-in-law after marrying a daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Liu snorted and said, "But the Gu family won't agree. Your elder sister-in-law's natal brother loves her. After the filial piety period is over, I will definitely find someone who knows the cold and hot for your lobby sister-in-law, so that she can take care of her." Marry again. Your sister-in-law in the lobby is not very old, and her elder brother must not be happy that his sister will stay like this for the rest of her life."

If the mother-in-law's family disagrees over this matter, it will indeed be a problem.Li Xin held his cheek and thought.
