The day.

Meixiang packed her luggage and went to the study with Xia Jifang.

Li Fengxian was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Mother Xia watched Li Fengxian drink the pregnancy-preserving medicine, and then ordered someone to open the warehouse to get supplements.

"I asked the doctor, you can drink all of these. Drink these after taking the pregnancy-preserving medicine every day."

Back in her courtyard, Xia's mother knelt in front of the Guanyin statue and said, "I pray to the gods and Buddhas to bless Feng Xian with a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby."

For a family like the Xia family, having many children is a blessing, while having no children is a disaster.

Since Li Fengxian is pregnant, she has to keep the baby even at the risk of her life.

After worshiping the Bodhisattva, Mother Xia stood up and told everyone in the family:

"Grandma's pregnancy is unstable. No one is allowed to discuss it, lest it startle the baby."

"From today on, Grandma and Jifang are not allowed to go out until Grandma's pregnancy is stable."

After giving the instructions, Xia's mother was angry and scared.

What made me angry was that Li Fengxian didn’t even know she was pregnant.

What she was afraid of was that Li Fengxian had been rubbing her shoulders for a long time today.

If Li Fengxian had committed suicide in the main hall, she would have been known as a wicked mother-in-law who tortured her daughter-in-law for the rest of her life.

"Go to the study and warn Meixiang."

Mother Xia frowned and said, "If she can persuade Ji Fang to read, I will allow her to be my aunt after Ji Fang passes the imperial examination."

It would be better for Li Fengxian to make a fuss at home than to go out and make a fuss.

The two women can play around as they please, as long as they don't disturb her son from reading.

Xia's mother dealt with the household affairs quickly and decisively without leaking any information to anyone else.

While the Xia family was busy with self-examination and keeping silent, the Wang family in the same county was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

People kept reporting good news and congratulating.

Wang Yongqing and Lu Bozhou stood on both sides of the door to welcome the guests.

By the afternoon, the number of guests gradually decreased.

Li Jinglan and Lu Bozhou finally had the opportunity to sit together and talk.

"During this time, translate the agricultural books, and go out with Brother Yongqing to meet friends more often."

“Always bring more people with you when you go out.”

Li Jinglan warned softly.

Lu Bozhou enjoyed this moment very much and nodded with a smile: "Got it."

"Zhongyu is growing very fast. I think his clothes are a little short. I'll have someone send him some new clothes in a couple of days."

"If there are any students over fifty years old, please pay attention and go home to be Xiao Yu'er's teacher."

Little fish?

This nickname is good.

Lu Bozhou smiled: "I'll keep an eye on it."

Then, he reached out to grab Li Jinglan's hand: "I have given instructions to my brothers and sisters, what about me?"

Li Jinglan couldn't help but look up at him.

He was not wearing glasses and his eyes were hazy.

His eyebrows are as sharp as swords and his nose is like a hanging gall bladder.

There was a faint and gentle smile on the corner of his lips.

This kind of people.

Why did he abandon his younger brothers and sisters a few years later and go to become a crown prince to enjoy wealth and glory?

Li Jinglan smiled and said, "Husband, it's getting late. I should go back too."

It's time to go indeed.

If we leave now, it will be dusk when we reach Xishui Village.

If it's any later, it will be dark when I get home.

Lu Bozhou stood up reluctantly: "I'll take you to the ox cart."

On the way, Li Jinglan talked about farming: "I want to buy a few more cows and find a farmer to raise them. The summer harvest will be ready in a few days."

"After a period of training, the ox can pull a cart loaded with wheat, and after another period of training, it can pull a plow."

Listening to Li Jinglan's clear and logical explanation, Lu Bozhou was very curious: "How do you know all this?"

"There is a golden house in the book. When wheat matures, it turns golden. Isn't it like a house full of gold?" Li Jinglan walked to the ox cart and smiled at Lu Bozhou, "My husband, go back."

Watched Li Jinglan get on the ox cart.

He then watched the ox cart leave the Wang family's gate.

He stood there until the bullock cart disappeared from his sight.

Only then did he turn around.

When Li Jinglan returned to Xishui Village, a group of people gathered in front of her house.

The patriarch came forward with a smile, leaning on a cane.

"Is your nephew's wife back?" The patriarch's attitude was very humble.

So many things happened today that the patriarch was shocked.

Li Jinglan sued Lu Cunren, who was beaten badly by the yamen runners and shackled at the gate of the county government office.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bozhou passed the exam and ranked first.

Although the clan leader was not very knowledgeable, he knew what the first place in the case represented.

This means that Lu Bozhou can be exempted from paying taxes on 80 acres of land and exempting one person from corvee labor.

"Today the county government came to announce the good news, but Miss Guanyu refused to open the gate, so we set up a few tables of wine outside the courtyard to celebrate for Bozhou."

The clan leader smiled attentively, which was very flattering.

You set up the banquet and you drink, and you still want me to pay?

Li Jinglan heard the clan leader complaining about Lu Guanyu in his words again, and her face darkened.

"Bozhou only passed the provincial examination, not the imperial examination. Clan leader, you are being too ostentatious by entertaining guests and setting up a banquet."

"But you mean well, and I appreciate it."

After saying that, Li Jinglan led a group of people into the Lu family’s gate.

There was a boom.

The door is closed.

The smile on the patriarch's face disappeared completely as the door closed.

The clan leader's wife walked over and said, "Why are you so arrogant? It's just that you got hit..."

Before he could finish his words, the clan leader slapped him in the face.

"Say less!"

Ever since Li Jinglan got married, there is no part of her body that is easy to mess with.

In the past, Lu Xuande swore to heaven that Lu Cunren would definitely pass the imperial examination and was destined to become prime minister.

After he passed the imperial examination, his family was exempted from corvee labor.

He also told him that Lu Bozhou was a member of the Dazong clan after all, and even if he passed the imperial examination he would only be close to the Dazong clan.

He believed what Lu Xuande said.

As a result, Lu Cunren is now shackled at the gate of the county government office, and it seems that he will never have a chance to take the imperial examination.

The patriarch was filled with regret.

I should have known earlier that Lu Bozhou had a chance to turn things around.

I shouldn't have listened to Lu Xuande's sweet words.

On second thought, I felt that what Lu Xuande said made sense.

Lu Bozhou hasn't even passed the imperial examination yet, but Li Jinglan dared to treat him coldly.

"If they are not from the small clan, they cannot be tamed." The clan leader sighed.

It still depends on whether Xiaozong’s own people have a promising future.

The patriarch glanced in the direction of the county town.

I have to build a good relationship with Lu Ping in the future.

Lu Ping is a descendant of Xiao Zong, and this is the hope of Xiao Zong.

Li Jinglan entered the Chuihua Gate and saw Lu Guanyu waiting for her inside.

"Sister-in-law, you're back." Lu Guanyu ran over and clung to Li Jinglan like a kitten, "Did my brother really win the case?"

"Yes!" Li Jinglan told Lu Guanyu what happened in the county.

Hearing that Lu Cunren was shackled at the gate of the county government office, Lu Guanyu snorted, "He deserves it! Beat him with a few sticks."

Then, Lu Guanyu talked about someone coming to report good news today.

"I was originally going to open the door to let the person who brought the good news in, but the tribe leader and his men said outside that they would help us prepare the banquet or something. I was scared..."

At that time, Lu Zhang entered the Lu family in the name of funeral arrangements.

Then, the Lu family became the Lu family of Lu Zhangshi.

Li Jinglan understood Lu Guanyu and said gently, "You did the right thing. There were no adults at home, so you were right not to open the door. You should do the same in the future. When your elder brother and second brother are not at home, you don't have to open the door. If someone blames you, I will take the blame for you."

Lu Guanyu was particularly happy to be praised.

Li Jinglan asked about Lu Guanyu's homework again.

Lu Guanyu picked up the brush and wrote.

She had just started learning to write, and her handwriting was crooked, but she put a lot of care into every stroke.

Li Jinglan nodded.

But I was thinking about Mr. Zhang in my mind.

What tricks will Mr. Zhang use?

If Mr. Zhang takes action, he must be taken down with lightning speed.

They could not afford Mr. Zhang's counterattack.

"Sister-in-law, did I write it correctly?" Lu Guanyu's voice woke Li Jinglan from her thoughts.

"Well written! You did a good job on your homework today. Write fifty copies of each of these two words later."

Li Jinglan was preparing inkstone and ink, when Lu Guanyu stood up and poured water into the inkstone very skillfully: "I'll do it."

Li Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled, then wrote two words: "Sun, Moon."

What she is teaching Lu Guanyu now is "Thousand Character Classic", an enlightenment book.

Then, five more math problems of addition and subtraction within five were given.

Looking at Li Jinglan's calligraphy, Lu Guanyu was very envious.

When will she be able to write as beautifully as her sister-in-law?

Moreover, her sister-in-law was very generous to her. Not only did she leave the family to her, she also taught her to read and write.

She had nothing to repay her sister-in-law.

I can only listen to my sister-in-law more.

Thinking of this, Lu Guanyu poured a cup of tea for Li Jinglan: "Sister-in-law, please have some tea."

Li Jinglan picked up the tea bowl with a smile.

Lu Guanyu couldn't wait to pat Li Jinglan's shoulders again, and almost knocked the teacup out of Li Jinglan's hand.

"I want to eat fried water chestnuts and pork tonight." Li Jinglan said.

Lu Guanyu wrote it down, and then talked about the sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "I went to my aunt's house a few days ago and ate her sweet-scented osmanthus cake. It was very delicious."

"When I learn it, I'll make it for you." Lu Guanyu looked at Li Jinglan with anticipation.

Li Jinglan nodded: "Okay."

Lu Guanyu was very happy and said, "I will start learning tomorrow."

"But osmanthus flowers only bloom in August..." Lu Guanyu fell into deep thought.

"The nectar made from osmanthus flowers is sold in the county town." Li Jinglan smiled while pursing her lips.

Lu Guanyu's eyes lit up: "Tomorrow my family will go to the county town to buy things, I'll ask him to buy some back."

"Sister-in-law, what else do you want to eat?" Lu Guanyu wished that Li Jinglan would name hundreds of kinds of food in one breath so that she could make them tomorrow.

Li Jinglan wanted to test Lu Guanyu, so she asked, "I wonder how much a pound of frosted sugar costs now."

"Sixty-three cents per pound." Lu Guanyu answered quickly.

"What about brown sugar?" Li Jinglan asked again.

"Thirty-four to thirty-eight cents a pound."

"What about brown sugar?"

"Twenty cents per pound." Lu Guanyu hesitated.

"Sister-in-law, let's not buy black sugar. Black sugar is made of mud and needs to be boiled again, which costs firewood. The firewood at home is bought from the village at the price of three cents per pound."

Lu Sheng's family and Zhao Zhengyi's family looked at each other and smiled.
