Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Upon hearing that a thief broke into Li Jinglan's house at night, she reported the matter to the authorities, and then County Magistrate Xu sent people to protect her.

Lu Bozhou was surprised and immediately sent a letter home.

Li Jinglan replied that everything was fine and asked Lu Bozhou to study in the capital and prepare for the next year's imperial examination.

The couple wrote letters every day.

As a result, Zhao Zhengyi had to run back and forth between the capital and Xishui Village every day, and he lost a lot of weight.

Since there is nothing to do at home, I might as well read.

There are all kinds of books in the Wang family courtyard, and it becomes a world of its own when you close the door.

Upon hearing that Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin were planning to stay in the capital to study, brothers Wang Zhenyan and Wang Yongqing also followed them to the capital.

Away from the hustle and bustle of human life, the four friends enjoyed reading very smoothly.

For a while, the sound of reading aloud could be heard in the Wang family’s courtyard in the capital.

King Jin expressed his understanding for Lu Bozhou's decision not to return.

This year and next year are the years for the imperial examination. If Lu Bozhou wants to take part in the examination, he must study hard.

People from the Lu family in Xishui Village come to congratulate and give gifts all day long, which is really not suitable for Qingxin to study.

Prince Jin seemed quite happy in Xishui Village.

He happily tells fortunes for people every day, and listens to Mr. Gu reading in his spare time.

I heard that Mr. Gu would chat with the farmers after reading the book.

The King of Jin was not only proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, but also paid great attention to farming.

After spending a few days wandering around the twenty acres of land that Yang Laoshi was in charge of, I was very impressed.

"If my brother saw this piece of land, he would be so happy." King Jin patted Yang Laoshi on the shoulder and praised him.

Yang Laoshi had no idea who the person who patted his shoulder was, let alone who Prince Jin’s biological brother was.

He only knew that the Taoist priest in front of him was witty and humorous and had no airs.

He grinned and said, "The wheat planted on my twenty acres of land is all of the best quality. I will continue to select the best quality wheat next year. If I keep selecting the best quality, the yield will get higher and higher."

The King of Jin asked curiously, "Who taught you this?"

Yang puffed out his chest and said, "I figured it out myself."

Speaking of Li Jinglan, "The lady gave me 100 coins a month and asked me to teach others how to farm."

He used his own money to let his tenants teach others how to farm.

This is a losing business.

Why did Li Jinglan do this?

Prince Jin stroked his beard and wanted to see Li Jinglan a little.

He had lived in the Lu family for half a month, but he and Li Jinglan had not met each other yet.

But Li Jinglan is in my ears every day.

Especially the little girl Lu Guanyu, who always keeps the word "sister-in-law" on her lips.

My sister-in-law always says we can do it, but she doesn’t allow us to do it. I can’t do it without her nod. Today, my sister-in-law said…

From Lu Guanyu, he also knew that not only the daughter of the Wang family lived in the backyard, but also Mr. Zhou's sister.

He also knew that Wang Ruoshui was very dexterous and Wang Ruolan liked painting.

At this time.

King Jin heard a commotion outside the courtyard.

He walked out.

"What's wrong?" asked King Jin.

Niu Dayi, who was busy, bowed and said, "It's the neighbors from the bamboo shop street who are here."

The King of Jin knew about the arson case.

He grew up in the palace and saw many intrigues and schemes in the court, including all kinds of schemes that he could not escape and had to watch himself fall into.

After a little thought, I understood what Lu Bozhou wanted to do.

Being able to endure four years of abuse, Lu Bozhou must be trying to establish a reputation as a virtuous person.

It is impossible to set fire to your own house to seek revenge.

It is of great benefit to Lu Bozhou that Lu Xuande's family lives a peaceful and healthy life.

Just like Han Xin who endured the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch, after he became successful, he invited the ruffian who humiliated him to serve in the army.

Doesn’t Han Xin hate ruffians?

Of course I hate it!

But the arrival of the ruffian in Han Xin's army made the soldiers feel at ease.

Han Xin could treat the ruffians who insulted him so well, so he would certainly treat the soldiers in the army well.

It's just giving up some insignificant little things.

What you can get in return is great benefits and admiration from outsiders.

Prince Jin also wanted to see how Li Jinglan communicated with the neighbors involved in the arson case.

Follow Niu Dayi towards the main courtyard.

Niu Dayi saw King Jin following him and did not stop him.

Li Jinglan had already reminded him of this.

Taoist priests are not allowed to go to any other place except the backyard.

There was a fireplace in the east wing of the main courtyard, and the room was very warm.

There is a screen at the door of the inner room.

Li Jinglan sat in the inner room.

Several people were arguing and talking at the same time.

When they saw Prince Jin coming in, they didn't care.

King Jin found a place to sit and listened to everyone talking.

Neighbor A said, "The last time we paid one hundred taels of silver as compensation, each household was divided among them. I'm afraid we won't be able to live well for many years."

"That's right. We don't even have enough money to purchase supplies now." Neighbor B agreed.

Li Jinglan's beautiful and clear voice floated out from the inner room, "Since everyone has been discussing and can't come to a conclusion, why don't you listen to my thoughts?"

"What ideas do you have?" Neighbor A was unconvinced.

"Although the arson case has not been solved, we still have to go on with our lives and do business," said Li Jinglan.

Everyone liked to hear this and nodded.

"So, I suggest you stop arguing and build the house first."

Li Jinglan asked Zhao Zhengyi's family to go out and deliver the drawings.

"I asked someone to draw some blueprints. Please pass them around and have a look."

The neighbors took the drawings but couldn't understand what they meant.

After being passed around for a while, the drawings fell into the hands of Prince Jin.

This is an architectural drawing of a brick structure.

There is a two-story building in front and a small courtyard in the back.

The buildings along the entire street are exactly the same.

Li Jinglan spoke again in the inner room: "That's what I think."

"The arson case will definitely be solved! And my injustice will be cleared."

"So our Lu family paid to build the house for you first. But because our family helped you build the house, the compensation after the arson case is solved should all belong to us."

"What do you think?"

When the neighbors heard this, they looked at other people.

Their shops are all on one floor.

It would be a good thing if Li Jinglan was willing to build a two-story building for them.

Neighbor B took the blueprint from King Jin, took another look at it, and became more and more pleased.

The building on the blueprint really looks good. The neighbor was very happy to think that the shop would become a two-story building in the future.

"Is it built completely according to the blueprint?" asked Neighbor B.

Neighbor A was a little dissatisfied and interrupted: "You built a house for us, but we also lost the goods! Do you still have to compensate us for the goods?"

Li Jinglan smiled and said softly, "Before I opened the bamboo shop, I investigated all the shops on the street. They were all small businesses."

"Your family's goods, including furniture, should not exceed thirty taels!"

"After the two-story building is built, if you don't want to run the business, you can rent it out. Three or five taels of silver a month shouldn't be a problem!"

"After a year, not only can you recover your losses, but you can also get a stable source of income for decades. As long as the small building does not collapse, you can pass it on to your sons and grandchildren."

Although Neighbor A wanted to find fault with Li Jinglan, he did not refute this statement at all.

Li Jinglan said it well.

If all the shops on this street were transformed into such beautiful shops, they would definitely be rented out at a good price.

An elderly neighbor said something crucial: "Everyone, it's a good thing that the wife of the Jieyuan scholar is willing to pay for us to build a house. Think about it carefully. With the government's ability to handle cases, when will it be able to catch the arsonist?"

"If we wait for compensation, we don't know how many years it will take."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Li Jinglan asked Zhao Zhengyi's family to bring over a few documents. "If you are willing, sign the documents, and then I will pay for the registration and signature at the government office."

"As long as there is one household that disagrees, this batch of documents will be dropped."

Everyone took the document and looked at it, but did not sign it immediately. "Let's go back and discuss it first."

"Okay." Li Jinglan also knew that signing would not be a quick matter, and these people would definitely have to go back to discuss it.

The King of Jin also received a document.

I feel that this document is very unfavorable to Li Jinglan.

I can't figure it out.

Seeing that everyone had left, Prince Jin asked, "Is that the lady of the Lu family in the inner room? I am Taoist Wu You from the Taixuan Temple."

The King of Jin is here?

After a moment of surprise, Li Jinglan said, "It turns out to be Mr. Wu You. I wonder if you have any advice for me."
