Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

In order to prepare for the festival, Li Changle gathered Jiang and Ma, the two sisters-in-law Guihua, Jiang's niece-in-law, Hu's second wife, and Lin Miaomiao's mother Yun who was rescued from the pawnshop earlier.

Hu Liangmu's second sister-in-law still overcame all difficulties and came to work on the farm. Like Yun, she worked in the small material warehouse, doing work that was only done by women.

Li Changle and Jiang and Ma prepared several flavors of rice dumplings, including red bean paste, mung bean paste, braised pork and chestnut flavor, fresh meat and egg yolk, candied dates, and eight-treasure rice dumplings. Several women were busy in the house, making and boiling the rice dumplings. It took them two or three days to finish.

She first asked Erleng if there were any ice cubes for sale. If there were, she would send some holiday gifts to Kyoto. The ice cubes could keep the rice dumplings fresh.

How can the master not have what he wants? If he doesn’t have it, find a way to make it available to him!

Leng Yi went straight to the county magistrate.

Finally, the magistrate's wife Fang Ruyu brought a large wooden box of ice to Li Changle.

Li Changle sorted the rice dumplings of various flavors and placed nearly two hundred rice dumplings in the pile of ice.

Along with the rice dumplings, there was also a box of silk and cotton handkerchiefs, and a box of folding fans.

There are no space fruits this time, but in the flower beds in the inner courtyard of the house, bunches of Sunshine Rose grapes have grown on the vines. The skin is shiny green, the flesh is firm, and it is crispy, sweet and seedless when you bite it. There is also a scent of roses.

There is also a cherry tree that is already full of fruits. The fruits on the tree are bright red and mouth-watering.

The fruit trees in the farm have only been planted for more than a month. It is still too early for them to bear fruit, and some of them cannot be prepared in time.

There were only two grape vines and a cherry tree in the inner yard. In order for the children to have fresh fruit to eat every day, I planted grape seedlings and a cherry tree in the flower bed two months ago.

So, Li Changle, with a little pain, used scissors to cut a dozen bunches of grapes and a basket of cherries, carefully packed them in a foam box, and put them in the holiday gift.

There was no need to worry about food for the fish and shrimp in the puddle. I scooped up two large buckets of them, fed them with water, and took them away.

She collected two large truckloads of fresh and tender vegetables that had just grown in the vegetable area of ​​the farm, and she harvested them without mercy.

There was also a box, which Li Changle specifically instructed to be given to Sun Xiuduan.

Er Leng felt that the Gu family in Kyoto was under the control of their master, so if there were things that needed to be known to Li Changle, he would at least tell Li Changle, for example, there was good news about Sun Xiuduan.

This is to prevent Li Changle from being criticized by Gu Jingyan’s maternal family in the future, saying that as the eldest sister-in-law, she is indifferent to all family affairs.

The main reason is that Sun Xiuduan is the granddaughter of Gu Jingyan’s maternal grandfather.

It is better to do some things in a nice way so that when you return to Beijing to meet each other in the future, both of you will be able to look good.

In order to let his wife have some free time, Gu Jingyan even asked his cousin to take over the position of managing the household.

We should at least do a good job of superficial work.

When Leng Yi told her about this, Li Changle also felt that she should indeed express her gratitude. There was no grudge between them and it would not do any harm to make friends with them.

When Sun Xiuduan got married, she added makeup to her outfit.

Now that she was pregnant again, she thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of anything that a daughter from such a wealthy family would particularly want.

So she was too lazy to think and just picked a box and put a ginseng in it.

I heard that giving birth to a child is like stepping into a coffin for a woman. She has to fight for her life and is afraid of any accidents.

The best medicinal herb she has is probably ginseng.

After all, they are Gu Jingyan's ancestral family and maternal family. Previously, I saw that Gu Jingyan and the Sun family had frequent correspondence.

Anyway, she doesn't need to go to the father's house to show her filial piety for the time being. She can just send something to show her gratitude, and someone can do it for her, which will save her a lot of trouble.

I heard that traveling by water is faster, so this trip should be easier than delivering New Year gifts before the New Year.

However, just two days after she sent out her holiday gifts, the ones from Kyoto arrived here first. According to the leader, they were all gifts prepared by the Third Young Master’s wife.

He also said that some things were sent over from the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The wife of the third young master of the Gu family is Sun Xiuduan.

At that time, Li Changle felt that this sister-in-law was quite sensible and was still thinking about her, the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family.

I suddenly felt that the two cars of holiday gifts I gave out two days ago were worth it.

The gift from Kyoto, and from a family like that, naturally wouldn't be shabby.

There are also rice dumplings, but like the people here in Li County, they are filled with sweet fillings.

Most of them are filled with candied fruits or red dates, or are eight-treasure dumplings, which are made by mixing various beans and glutinous rice together.

It tastes sticky and sweet, which is probably the taste that many women like.

But Li Changle is used to eating big meat dumplings in modern times, so there are several kinds of fillings in the following operation scenes.

Others don’t know, but her Dragon Boat Festival gift box was well received by the county magistrate’s wife.

A box contains ten dumplings with five kinds of fillings, so the tastes of the whole family are catered for.

The braised pork dumplings and fresh meat dumplings went into the stomachs of Li Huaitong and Li Yiyang, two people who don’t like sweets.

……

Li Changle saw Li Ping and his son off, and happily returned to the inner courtyard to store her banknotes.

When I sent the gift box just now, I was thinking about my two carts of Dragon Boat Festival gifts. I wonder if they are still there when I arrive in Heian Kyoto. The Dragon Boat Festival is in three days. Don't let those rice dumplings go bad. There are about 200 of them.

Leng Yi promised her that if the ice melted on the road, he would find a place to rest and get new ice.

In fact, while Li Changle was muttering, her two carts of holiday gifts had already arrived in Heian Kyoto yesterday.

The ice cubes were replaced on the way, and her rice dumplings were still fine.

The holiday gifts were first sent to Gu’s house.

At that time, the doorman came to report that Li Changle had someone send something back, so Old Madam Gu, Ji, and the third daughter-in-law hurried to the flower hall to meet him.

The man who came was one of the eagle guards that the emperor had previously sent to Li County to protect the Li family courtyard.

He handed over the list of holiday gifts, said a few polite words that Li Changle had asked him to convey, and then handed a wooden box to Sun Xiuduan.

"The general's wife said that these things are prepared for you. You two can divide the things in the carriage between His Majesty and the Gu and Sun families."

The Eagle Guard who escorted the two carts of gift-giving back to the capital was feeling a little dissatisfied.

Doesn’t their Majesty deserve an independent festival gift?

They have been reduced to having to share it with others.

However, they did not dare to be perfunctory to His Majesty.

The Eagle Guard brought the things and the message and left the Gu family. He finally took the opportunity to return to Kyoto. He had to go to the palace to report to his master.

During these few months, I squatted in the dark where mosquitoes gathered every day and watched the general's wife going about her business in the village and the city every few days.

He couldn't eat or drink, and he couldn't sit or lie down, so he, the Eagle Guard, was almost losing his temper.
