Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 582
Hong Zhiyuan is engaged to a young lady of the Bai family—Bai Fanpeng's direct sister, Bai Fanrong, and they will get married in Chang'an in the first month of next year.

Hong Zhiyuan is the number one scholar in the new division and the most famous young man in Dingchao right now.

He is very handsome in appearance, gentle in temperament, and good at playing the piano. The senior officials in the court and the middle are vying to make him their son-in-law.

Bai Fanpeng contacted Hong Zhiyuan several times, fearing that he would be snatched away by other families, so he hurriedly passed on a letter to Luoyang Feige.

Hong Zhiyuan learned that Bai Fanrong also played the piano well on the day they met each other, and agreed to the marriage after the agreement of his grandfather and grandmother.

Master Dong Qi and Lin Bi'an's granddaughter Lin Ying made a marriage.

Young Master Dong Qi's grandfather, Dong Teng, was the Minister of Dali Temple and a full-time third-rank official, just like Lin Bian.

The Dong family didn't dislike Lin Ying's experience of getting engaged.The two families are rightly matched, the marriage is settled, everyone is happy, and the big wedding is scheduled for next month.

Young Master Dong Qi will take Lin Yingtong to the Northland after his wedding.

Niu Haoxing's marriage was not well-known because his biological mother, Bai Shi, once stayed in a brothel, so it is not easy to talk about the marriage.

This time Niu Haoxing passed the Tanhua exam and is an official in Longbei with a bright future. The Li family arranged for a marriage with Lu Heyue, the granddaughter of Duke Lu.

Lu Heyue's uncle is Ding Haitao's eldest son-in-law Lu Feng.

This girl has a beautiful appearance. She practiced martial arts because of her poor health when she was a child. Now she has achieved a small amount of martial arts.

Her brothers were studying at Chang'an Academy, and they had known for a long time that there was an alumnus Niu Haoxing who was talented in writing and made money by running a noodle shop.

Before that, Lu Heyue had been unknown among the military attache girls, but this time she got married with Tan Hualang, and suddenly stood out from the crowd.

More than a dozen young ladies from the civil servants and military officials were even jealous that she married Tanhua, the most handsome scientific researcher in the world.

The wedding of the two is also scheduled for next month, and then they will go to Longbei together.

In addition to several outstanding scientific research talents in this world, there is also a second place in the upper world, Liang Xusheng, who also got married after the meeting.

It turned out that Li Bing had mentioned marriage to Liang Xusheng. At that time, Liang Xusheng had always been obsessed with Li Jingjing, and he insisted on waiting until she was completely married before he would talk about marriage, so he declined the Hong family's young lady.

After Liang Xusheng and Di Yujie's niece Di Zheng met each other this time, they fell in love with each other, and the elders of both parties decided to marry each other.

Like Qin Shanyi, Liang Xusheng is the only son in the family, and shoulders the important responsibility of carrying on the family line.Even if the elders of his family had a son with Di Zheng, they would not let him go to Longbei.

Liang Xusheng could only stay in Chang'an Academy honestly, envious of all the young people.

At the end of August, Li Yunxiao, the number one scholar, returned to Longbei with fourteen Jinshi from Longbei, and was warmly welcomed by the people of Jincheng.

Fourteen Jinshi offered their loyalty to He Jingyan, and all of them asked to be magistrates in the most difficult counties.

The students in Longbei followed the example of Li Yunxiao and Hong Zhiyuan, studied hard, and prepared to be famous in Chang'an in three years.

Li Yunxiao, the champion who was newly released for less than a month, has become the most popular person in Jincheng. For several days, people came to the street opposite the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion to watch his heroic appearance on horseback.

Fortunately, He Dong acted quickly and had already appointed Li Yunxiao as his son-in-law, otherwise these girls in Jincheng would have snatched him away.

On this day, the autumn was crisp and the sun was shining brightly. Li Yunxiao and Li Jingjing rode horses to the outskirts of Jincheng to inspect the potatoes planted by farmers.

The land in Longbei is yellow, barren and lacks water, and the fields are used to grow wheat for rations.

Potatoes were planted for the first time, and the farmers did not know its yield, nor did they know that the tubers had been stored for a long time. At first, they all resisted. Later, the Longbei government ordered the potatoes to be planted in the sandy land so that the farmers would not boycott the potatoes. inside.

The farmers took the potatoes they brought back, cut them into pieces according to the method taught by the village planting masters, planted them in the sandy soil, and then watered them, and then left them alone.

Gradually, the aboveground parts of the potatoes grew green lush stems, pinnate compound leaves, and white, red, and purple flowers, which were pleasing to the eye.

The time to harvest potatoes is coming soon, and farmers feel that if they pay less, they will reap less, so they don't have much expectation.

Yexing Village is next to Jincheng. It is a big village with more than 100 households and nearly a thousand people. Belizheng gathered at the foot of the mountain at the head of the village to welcome the Li brothers and sisters.

Shi Qiner, the mayor of Jincheng, spoke in a not so smooth Longdi dialect, and said loudly: "Folks, Yexing Village is the first village in northern Longbei to plant potatoes, and it will also be the first village to harvest potatoes."

Farmers from every household in the village had no hope for potatoes at all, and they all looked at the two nobles standing next to Qin Er—the Li brothers and sisters.

The woman with a dark red face in the village held her baby's hand and talked in a very low voice in the chilly mountain wind.

"One is Wenchangxing descending to earth, and the other is God of Medicine descending to earth."

"It's really a feast for the eyes today, seeing two fairy-like characters."

"We have such beautiful women in this world, even more beautiful than the fairies in the paintings."

The villagers' disregard for potatoes fell into Li Yunxiao's eyes, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

Longbei agricultural innovation, planting potatoes in sandy soil is the first step, planting soybeans in the field is the second step, and there will be third and fourth steps in the future.

If potato cultivation failed and farmers no longer trusted the Longbei government, the next steps would be difficult to implement.

Li Jingjing glanced at Li Yunxiao's thick eyebrows raising his fists clenched as if he was about to fight, and asked, "Second Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yunxiao was afraid that Li Jingjing would be embarrassed by the farmers seeing the low yield of potatoes and scolding, so he said in a low voice, "Sister, I'm a little out of breath, will you go for a walk up the mountain with me?" After speaking, he walked up the mountain .

"Do you feel chest tightness, nausea, or dizziness?" Li Jingjing followed Li Yunxiao away from the foot of the mountain with great worry, and was accompanied by twenty soldiers to the mountain with dwarf wild apricot trees on both sides of the mountain road.

"Yeah. It's much better if I go up the mountain." Li Yunxiao walked more than a dozen steps, and turned around to see the black and black villagers at the foot of the mountain, following Qin Er and Li, who were digging potatoes in the sand.

Li Jingjing chased after him, grabbed Li Yunxiao's arm, and said, "Second Brother, I'll take your pulse."

Seeing Li Jingjing's worried face, Li Yunxiao lowered his head and said, "I just look at the crowd and feel a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine in a while."

Li Jingjing frowned and checked her pulse, and asked Li Yunxiao a dozen more questions, then waited for a while, took her pulse again, and said doubtfully, "You are in good health, you are not sick."

Li Yunxiao couldn't bear to make Li Jingjing worry, so he whispered: "Sister, I'm not sick. I'm afraid that the potato production will be low and the farmers' words will hurt you."

"Xiaozi, how dare you lie to me!" Li Jingjing stepped forward and gave Li Yunxiao a thump on the forehead like she did when she was a child.
