The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Xiao Liulang hired the fastest carriage and arrived at Qingquan Town at the end of August.

When passing by Tianxiang Academy, Feng Lin first moved his luggage back to the dormitory, and when he came out, he met Dean Li.

Dean Li was surprised to see him: "Huh? Why so fast? Didn't you go to the hometown for the test? You didn't catch up or what? Where's Liu Lang?"

"Catch up, catch up! We'll be back after the exam! That... I'll go back and tell you in detail, Liu Lang is waiting for me outside, goodbye Dean!" Feng Lingan said with a smile, and ran away in a hurry !

Who doesn't know that Xiao Liulang is Dean Li's baby bump. If he doesn't slip faster, Dean Li can pull him and ask him in the dark.

Feng Lin hopped on the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Liulang asked.

"President Li!" Feng Lin said, "Don't get caught by him, you won't be able to go home after a while!"

Xiao Liulang took this seriously and urged the driver to quickly drive the carriage back to the village.

The money for the car was settled early in the provincial capital, but the coachman followed them all the way to be a coachman and a servant.

The driver was flattered, and hurriedly bowed his hands.

"Be careful on the road." Xiao Liulang said.

"Hey! Thank you Mr. Xiao!" The driver happily got into the carriage.

Those who work in their line of work get hard-earned money. Even if they go out for more than a month, the money that really falls into their hands is only two or three taels. With this one or two, the life at home will be much better next month!

Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin walked to the village.

When they left the village at the end of June, the late rice in the village had just been planted. It was just a sparse small rice seedling. Now it has grown into a lush green patch.

"Wow! The wheat in your village is growing so well!"

The weather this year is abnormal, with scarce rain and dry farmland, causing many crops to die in the field. They walked all the way from the provincial capital, witnessed it with their own eyes, and were shocked.

However, the crops in Qingquan Village did not seem to be affected by the drought, and they grew so strong.

"It's rice." Xiao Liulang corrected him, but the same doubts flashed in his heart, why did the crops in his village grow so well?

"Oh." Feng Lin responded and suddenly pointed to the front, "Look! The canal! That's right, you have dug the canal in your village! It's just different when you change it!"

After Mr. Gu stepped down, a new Lizheng was elected in the village. The second uncle surnamed Luo was a family relative. It was said that five servers were about to be released. However, because they lived close together, the two families walked around a lot, so the relationship was still close.

Rory didn't care about the old man's culture, but he was a practical man. If any villager in the village was in trouble, he would help him.

Speaking of digging a canal...

It's not that Xiao Liulang looks down on Luo Lizheng, but everyone's neighbors and villagers. After getting along for so long, what will Luo Lizheng know? Xiao Liulang still sees it.

He is a relatively conservative Lizheng, and he will not be able to build large-scale construction easily, and there is no money for large-scale construction in the village.

"Hey! Roulang!" Feng Lin on the side shouted again, "Look! Waterwheel! Oh my god! I'm not dazzled, right? Your village actually has a waterwheel!"

Feng Lin grew up so big,

There are only a handful of times I have seen a waterwheel.

A waterwheel is a good thing. It can divert water from low places to high places, and it is best to use it to irrigate farmland.

It’s just that waterwheels are rare in such small counties. Generally, more prosperous villages can arrange waterwheels. They have seen waterwheels several times on the way back from the provincial capital, but all because of drought, the water in their own villages is poor. The pond has no water, so the waterwheel has become a decoration.

Feng Lin was puzzled: "By the way, where did the water in your village come from?"

Xiao Liulang's eyes followed the canal all the way to the mountain behind Luo's second uncle's house. He frowned and murmured, "Did you lead to the waterfall on the mountain?"

That is no ordinary canal. It spans half of the mountain and requires a lot of manpower and material resources to dig it out. Not only that, but also need to be very familiar with the terrain on the mountain.

"Oops! Rokuro is back!"

It's Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang just came out of Uncle Luo's house with a basket of wild fruits in her hand. She felt that she was 80% lucky, and she was the first person she saw every time Xiulang returned from the exam!

"Aunt Zhang." Xiao Liulang greeted.

"Aunt Zhang!" Feng Lin also greeted with a smile.

Feng Lin always came to the village. Aunt Zhang already recognized him. Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "I'm back. This time is longer than the last time! The provincial capital is far away!"

Country people don't understand the days of exams and rankings, and I don't know that Xiao Liulang is actually the first to go home among the out-of-town candidates for the rural exam. I just feel that he has been away for a month longer than the last time.

Xiao Liulang didn't explain anything and said, "Yes, the provincial capital is farther than the prefectural capital, and it took more than half a month to arrive."

"What do I say!" Aunt Zhang looked like I was really smart, "Okay, I've been away from home for so many days, think about the little girl, hurry back, she's here!"

Today, Tianxiang Academy is on holiday, and private schools are not on holiday. Gu Xiaoshun went to town to take care of the two babies, while Gu Jiao worked at home.

Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin entered the house, and the first thing they saw was not Gu Jiao, but a man dressed as a farmer.

Both were stunned.

Hearing the movement at the door, the man turned around, his eyes lit up: "Rokuro? This is... Feng Xiucai, right?"

Feng Lin was stunned: "Uh... I am, you are..."

"Lori is right." Xiao Liulang greeted.

Rory was scratching his head and smiling.

Feng Lin suddenly realized: "You are the newly appointed Lizheng? You are really amazing. You are both digging canals and making waterwheels, and you have revitalized the crops in the whole village!"

Luo Lizheng was stunned at first, then he smiled honestly and honestly: "Feng Xiucai boasted and mistaken it, it's not me who digs the canal, and it's not me who makes the waterwheel!"

Feng Lin looked surprised: "Who are you?"

There was a vague guess in Xiao Liulang's heart, he subconsciously looked towards the back door of the main room, just at this moment, Gu Jiao entered the main room while wiping her hands.

When she saw Xiao Liulang, her steps stopped.

She knew when the township exam was over, and she also knew when the rankings would be released. She estimated that Xiao Liulang would come back after the rankings were released, but unexpectedly it was so soon.

Her dazed look was a bit natural.

Xiao Liulang felt as if his heart trembled uncontrollably.

He looked away calmly and said hello to Rory.

Rory is confused, didn't he just say hello?

Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Liulang and bent her lips unconsciously: "Why did you come back so soon? Don't play in the provincial capital for a few more days."

Xiao Liulang said calmly: "There's nothing fun in the provincial capital."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Luo Lizheng smiled and said, "Just now when I was talking about you, Feng Xiucai asked me if I dug the canal and whether I made the waterwheel. Haha, where do I have such skills?"

He said, and said to Feng Lin, "It's a sweet girl!"

"Ah..." Feng Lin was stunned.

Gu Jiao planted medicinal fields in the mountains, and dug a fish pond. When the water from the waterfall was introduced into the fish pond, he also dug a canal that led directly to the village.

The weather is dry and the waterfalls on the mountains are much smaller, but it is still enough to irrigate the farmland in the village.

Xiao Liulang gave Gu Jiao a deep look.

"Isn't it? It's only been two months, and you even dug out the fish pond?" Feng Lin knew about Gu Jiao's purchase of mountains, but he didn't expect Gu Jiao to be so resolute.

Rory said to Gu Jiao: "By the way, the wooden cart you told us about threshing and Yangguzi last time, I went to the carpenter in the village to make it, but it was not done so quickly, they asked me to ask you, Which wood is better to use?"

Gu Jiao thought for a while, and said, "Korean pine, aspen, toon wood, and basswood are all fine. They have high hardness and are not easy to deform."

"Okay! Then I'll go first!" Rory was speaking, then turned his head to congratulate Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin in advance, and wished them both to be on the list.

"What threshing millet and Yang millet's car?" Feng Lin asked curiously.

Gu Jiao explained: "It's a cart that can separate the grains from the ears of rice, and a cart that screens out the grains that are not full enough, leaving only the normal grains."

"There is such a thing?" Feng Lin expressed doubts.

Although he couldn't tell the difference between wheat fields and rice fields, he still knew about threshing.

It was all about grabbing a bundle of rice and smashing it on the ground with brute force. It took a long time to smash it, and it might not be able to be taken off completely. The rice ears that were not taken off had to be carefully picked by hand.

When he was a child, he picked millet for people, half a coin a day.

As for separating the bad and good grains, the grains are usually dried first, and then a windy day is chosen to raise the grains. Good grain is heavier and will fall to the ground; bad grain is lighter and will be blown aside by the wind.

After the rice is pounded, the rice and the chaff are separated by raising the grain.

The grain-raising cart made by Gu Jiao is in principle the same as that of the grain-raising machine. It can separate the grains and the good grains, as well as the rice and the chaff, but the grain-raising cart is more efficient, less labor-saving, and cleaner and more thorough.

Originally, Rory was not convinced that there was such a useful thing. It can be seen that after Gu Jiao dug canals and made waterwheels for the villagers, Rory was convinced of her ability and character.

In the evening, the three Gu Yan brothers arrived home.

Xiao Jingkong's eyelids started to jump from noon, and when he entered the room and saw the bad brother-in-law, he finally understood why his eyelids jumped all afternoon!

He entered the room and looked at the bad brother-in-law with a serious face.

Well, not skinny.

Jiaojiao shouldn't be worried.

He pulled Xiao Liulang to the backyard again and asked Xiao Liulang to pick dates from the jujube tree for him.

Xiao Liulang looked up at the branch: "It's almost September, where are the dates?"

Xiao Jingkong's eyes were fixed on the top of Xiao Liulang's head. He had strictly recorded the height of the bad brother-in-law before, and he was barely able to reach the first branch. Now the bad brother-in-law has surpassed the branch!

The bad brother-in-law has grown taller!

In fact, in the past two months, according to his close observation, not only the bad brother-in-law has grown taller, but Gu Yan and Xiao Shun have also grown taller, and even Jiaojiao has grown taller.

The only thing that hasn't changed in the family is him and his aunt.

Jiaojiao said that it was because he was still young.

But the dog baby is smaller than him, and the dog baby has grown taller!

Xiao Jingkong frowned!

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Liulang looked at him and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, don't talk about me." Xiao Jingkong sighed like a little adult, looked up at Xiao Liulang and said, "Tell me about you! How was the test this time? Is the question difficult? Is there any? Are you sure? If you can't make it, the family will have to pay you for another three years!"

Xiao Liulang never expected to escape Dean Li, but he did not escape the little monk...

What's the little tone of everyone's parents?

"You also know that the test is once every three years." Xiao Liulang moved his small head angrily and amusedly, and handed a red date he picked to his hand, "Here, take it to play."

Xiao Jingkong looked at the shriveled jujube in his hand and pouted.

Who wants to play? childish!

Xiao Liulang's family brought gifts, and the old lady's was hemp candy and soybean cakes.

Happy old lady!

Gu Jiao confiscated the sesame sugar, and she can only eat one piece of soybean cake a day.

The old lady is not happy!

Gu Yan brought a piece of jade inkstone, round, he likes round things, especially those made of jade.

Gu Yan: "Thank you brother-in-law."

For the small headroom is a set of nine chains.

Xiao Jingkong took it with a proud look on his face, saying "what, childish is dead", turned his head and hid in the room, secretly unraveling the nine chain!

Gu Xiaoshun was given a few pieces of high-quality wood carving materials. Now that he has no shortage of tools, he is short of good wood that will make him miserable.

"Brother-in-law, what kind of wood is this piece of wood? I've never seen it before!" Gu Xiaoshun asked as he weighed a piece of black wood in his hand.

"Ebony." Xiao Liulang said.

The ebony was not owned by the Zhao Kingdom and was shipped from the Qing Kingdom. They were lucky and met a caravan halfway.

Several people were very satisfied with their gifts.

Finally, it was Gu Jiao's turn.

Gu Jiao Xin said that this time she couldn't give her a writing brush anymore, but Xiao Liulang did not send a brush, but a stack of paper.

Gu Jiao: "..."

This is not the rough paper sold on the market, but a very expensive water pattern paper, which will show curtain patterns, bamboo patterns or patterns when facing the light, so it is also called pattern paper.

The craftsmanship of patterned paper is complicated and expensive, and it cannot even be sold in the prefectures, only in the provincial capitals.

In Zhao Kingdom, sending patterned paper is about the same as sending flowers.

Before the flowers and the moon, the red sleeves add fragrance.

However, Gu Jiao's smile gradually froze on her small face.

The old lady who was confiscated the hemp candy leaned forward and backward with laughter.

There is a kind of romance that Rokuro thinks is very romantic!

--

Feng Lin also brought something, a few large pieces of smoked donkey meat, a bottle of burning knife wine, the burning knife was given by the store.

Gu Jiao had never drank ancient wine, and it didn't smell too strong. She tasted two sips, but she didn't respond when she ate dinner.

Xiao Liulang first sent Feng Lin to the entrance of the village, and then came back to give Xiaojingkong a bath. When he went to the stove to find Gu Jiao, Gu Jiao had already threw the half-washed bowl into the pot and sat in the hall by himself. On the threshold of the back door.

With her back to Xiao Liulang, she stared at the starry sky without moving.

Xiao Liulang walked over: "What are you looking at?"

Gu Jiao slowly turned her head, her expression was dull and timid, her little face was flushed red, her big eyes were wet and gleaming with crystal water.

Her appearance was different from her usual cold and cold, but she seemed to have become a child in an instant, especially innocent.

"Look at the stars."

she says.

The voices are soft and waxy, with a hint of confused little milk sound.

Xiao Liulang took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Go back to the house, it's getting dark."

"No." She shook her head and muttered.

Yep, that's what the small headroom usually does.

Drink a drink and drink yourself until Gu is three years old.

Gu Jiao continued to look up at the stars.

"Rokuro." She said suddenly.
