Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

The morning light in winter came a little late, and the sky in the early morning was a little hazy. I took a deep breath, and saw a white mist gushing out of my mouth.Zhang San shook his body in an attempt to expel some of the chill in his body, but he was not dressed warmly, but he still felt the pain in his bones from the cold.

He didn't care to spend more time trying to get rid of the cold, and there were still many things waiting for him to do. After hearing the cock crowing again, he quickly ran out.

Today is the day when the Zhang family is going to worship the ancestors. As a servant of the Zhang family, he naturally can't delay the time. He gets up early to prepare for the ancestor worship with other servants, and the most important thing is to open the door first.

It was another winter solstice, and the Zhang family was still the same, but Zhang San felt that it was a little different from previous years—the members of the Zhang family seemed to be looking forward to Zhang He's arrival.Mrs. Liu also ordered him to send someone to inform her immediately if she saw Zhang He returning to the ancestral house.

Zhang San couldn't understand why Zhang He suddenly became the favorite in the eyes of the Zhang family, but he was just a servant, and it was not his turn to explore these things.

When it was time for breakfast, Zhang San saw Zhang He coming—even though he didn't see Zhang He's person, but the carriage was so special that he recognized it immediately.

Unlike other carriages, Zhang He's carriage has four wheels, and the two front wheels seem to be able to rotate.Even if someone is interested in it, they can't build it like Zhang He's, so her carriage is unique.

"Mr. Erlang!" When the carriage stopped safely in front of the door, Zhang San quickly ran forward to help hold the horse, and secretly looked at this peculiar carriage.

Zhang He smiled slightly and nodded.After she jumped off the carriage, she turned around and took the one big and one small in the carriage.Zhang San glanced secretly, but it was Xia Jiniang and their child, Little Peanut.

Little Peanut woke up early, and fell asleep in Xia Jiniang's arms as he was still sleepy in the carriage. He couldn't keep his eyes open until he got off the carriage.The interior of the carriage was improved by Zhang He again. Even though it was wobbly, it was as comfortable as a cradle to Little Peanut.

"Peanut, it's here." Zhang He took Peanut from Xia Jiniang's arms and hugged her, then poked her on the face again.

Little Peanut hugged Zhang He's neck, turned her head and looked around, her eyes brightened immediately, and she struggled to get out of Zhang He's arms.Zhang He had no choice but to put her on the ground. Fortunately, she could already walk, so he was not worried that she would fall.

"Here we are!" Peanut repeated.

"Yes, it's here." Zhang He smiled dotingly.

Looking at the warm appearance of the family of three, Zhang San couldn't help sighing when he thought about the relationship between his husband and the two young gentlemen.Suddenly, he remembered Liu Shi's order, so he hastily asked someone to report to Liu Shi.

Hearing this, Zhang He asked, "Zhang Yan—isn't elder brother at home?"

Zhang San hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has moved to the farm. In fact, the lady wanted to live in the farm, but the gentleman advised the lady to come back to the ancestral house, and he and the lady moved to the farm. And if Xiao Lang wants to go to school, he will also live here."

Zhang He and Xia Jiniang looked at each other in blank dismay, and didn't bother to pay attention to the matter of the mother and son.Suddenly, out of the corner of Zhang He's eye, he saw that when Little Peanut wanted to climb the steps, his legs were not long enough and he kicked the stone steps in front of him. He lost his balance and fell down, sitting on the floor.

The two of them jumped and rushed over. Although they were prepared for her to cry, they were caught off guard when she cried.

"Father, it hurts!" Little Peanut held out his hand to them.

"..." Your hands are white and clean, without any injuries, why does it hurt?

"Then I'll blow it to you." Zhang He grabbed her little hand, blew twice, and said, "Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, look, there are no wounds."

Little Peanut took a look at his palm and found that there was really no wound, so he immediately stopped crying and became happy.But she obviously didn't want to climb the stairs anymore, so she glanced at Xia Jiniang and Zhang He, after thinking about it, she stretched out her hand to Xia Jiniang: "Mother, give me a hug."

"It's already here, do you know if you have to go by yourself?" Xia Jiniang taught earnestly, Xiao Huasheng's weight has increased significantly, and it is already a bit difficult for the two of them to hug her, and she can't develop a temperament of relying on them. Will pamper her.

Little Peanut seemed to have expected it. She curled her lips and could only get up from the ground and climbed up the steps step by step. Zhang He and Xia Jiniang followed behind with a sigh.

When Zhang Xian heard that Zhang He was coming, he ran out happily.Since he came back to the family school, he has always lived here, and he only has the opportunity to return to Qinghe Village every ten days.And Zhang He and Xia Jiniang went to Guangzhou, but he also failed to follow.It hasn't been long since Zhang He came back, so he missed Zhang He.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law—" Zhang Xian paused, glanced at Little Peanut, and said happily, "Little Peanut's niece."

"Peanut, do you remember third uncle?" Zhang He asked Little Peanut, who was holding her leg, and said.

Little Peanut obviously didn't remember Zhang Xian, after all, she hadn't seen Zhang Xian for more than half a year, but Zhang He had already given a reminder, so she called obediently: "Uncle Third."

"Little Peanut's articulation is so clear?!" Zhang Xian said.

"Aren't you a grown-up now?" Zhang He said with a smile.

"I'm almost ten years old!" Zhang Xian said.

"Father, how old am I?" Little Peanut asked curiously when he heard them discuss their age.

"Children are not allowed to ask their age." Xia Jiniang interjected.

"Why are you not allowed to ask?"

Just as Little Peanut was about to get to the bottom of it, Liu's figure also appeared in the front hall.Zhang He took Xiao Huasheng's hand, and Xia Jiniang and Zhang Xian stepped forward to salute.

Liu's eyes glanced at them, then looked at Xiao Huasheng, and said, "Come to grandma."

Immediately, Little Peanut let go of Zhang He's hand and trotted towards Liu Shi. Her arms could just reach the sitting Liu Shi's knees, so she lay down beside her legs.Liu Shi showed a shallow smile and patted her head.

Little Peanut looked up at her and said, "You are the great grandma!"

Mrs. Liu said "Yes", looked at Zhang He and Xia Jiniang again, and asked, "So, Peanut still has a second grandma?"

Little Peanut thought for a while and said, "There is little grandma, she came back from a long way with my parents and me!"

Liu looked up at Zhang He, then turned her gaze back to Little Peanut, and said, "How far is it?"

Little Peanut tilted his head, as if he couldn't understand, and could only look at Zhang He and Xia Jiniang as if asking for help.Xia Jiniang smiled, stepped forward and said, "Take the official road for a month and a half, pass the Mei Pass, and then go down the Zhenjiang River. It took more than 20 days to reach Guangzhou, and the journey is more than 2000 miles."

It was hot summer when they arrived in Guangzhou, and the climate there was much harsher than that in Fuzhou, and the humidity and heat were much more severe.After staying there for a month, both the big two and the little one got some minor illnesses to varying degrees, and it was the season of hurricanes, and the rain was endless all day long...

After Zhang He and Xia Jiniang came back, they secretly decided that they would never go there again in their lifetime!

However, Xia Jiniang was fortunate enough to see the appearance of the sea, as well as those foreigners who looked very different, and the exotic things they brought.There are many medicinal materials and spices that are strictly controlled by the imperial court and the government, and there are also many...

Liu Shi and Zhang Xian listened quietly to Xia Jiniang's story about what they had seen and heard in Guangzhou, but Little Peanut occasionally interrupted, and when they were about to have lunch at noon, Liu Shi asked Zhang He: "How is your lady?"

The Liu family has left the Zhang family and has her own hometown, so strictly speaking, she is no longer a member of the Zhang family.But as long as Zhang He is a member of the Zhang family, she can only be Zhang He's concubine.

Zhang He knew that Mrs. Liu had wanted to ask about Mrs. Liu's situation for a long time, but since they came back, Mrs. Liu had never seen Mrs. Liu.And Mrs. Liu never stepped out of the house, let alone came to see Mrs. Liu.

"Mother, why don't you go out of the house?" Zhang He said.

Mrs. Liu frowned, Zhang He glanced at the ancestral house, and said, "Mother, besides the mansion in Fuzhou and here, have you gone out for a step?"

It's like Liu Shi and Zhang Yan had a rift, she planned to live in the farm, but Zhang Yan would rather she go back to live in the ancestral house, and he moved to the farm.When Liu was a wife, she never left her ancestral house; when she was a mother, she never left her mansion in Fuzhou. Her freedom was imprisoned by Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Yan—thoughts.

Zhang He can't say anything great to Liu Shi, after all, everything she has now is bestowed by Liu Shi and Liu Shi, and she is the one who is least qualified to criticize them.She is just lamenting the injustice towards women in the current society from the standpoint of a modern person.

"Do I need you to teach me?" Liu Shi was displeased.

Zhang He pursed his lips, and after a while he said: "I don't dare, mother wants to know what's going on with her, so I'll tell mother—"

Liu Shi interrupted her abruptly: "No need!"

Zhang He and Xia Jiniang looked at her strangely, but swallowed back their words.Mrs. Liu rubbed her temples, and said: "Your third uncle and the others must be looking forward to you going to find them, so go ahead! I'm tired."

The maid helped Liu Shi away, Zhang He let out a breath, while Little Peanut and Zhang Xian looked at them blankly.Zhang Xian slowly remembered the figure that had disappeared in his mind for many years, but it was a little hazy and fuzzy. He asked, "What's wrong with Mother and Xiaoniang?"

"Nothing." Zhang He shook his head.

Zhang Xian's feelings for Liu Shi are much shallower than Zhang He's. After all, when Liu Shi had an accident, he was only four years old.At the beginning, he would cry for his parents, but after all, he was still young, and gradually forgot about this person over time.In addition, the Liu family was not very close to him in the past, so that now, Zhang Xian's existence to the Liu family is only "the person who gave birth to him".

And Zhang He's memories of Liu Shi are all from other people's mouths. Naturally, she doesn't have much mother-daughter affection for Liu Shi, but she is an adult and will be affected by the environment, and she will be a little psychologically. tendency.Fortunately, Mrs. Liu was not very warm to her, so she was relieved that the distance was not too close or far.

"Go home another day and meet my little lady." Zhang He said.

"Got it." Zhang Xian nodded.

Zhang He asked Xia Jiniang to play with Little Peanut, and went to Zhang Tingguan herself. After all, she also knew that not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he had carried out reforms on many suggestions put forward by Zhang Tingxuan. Everything that can be implemented has already been implemented.

Among them, the government advocates the planting of new crops, but after all, the planting area is not large and the number of seeds is limited, so the government believes that within ten years, the state capitals around Fuzhou must also plant such crops.So much so that starting from Fuzhou, Qinghe rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. have become hot crops.

The members of the Zhang family discovered business opportunities, but the problem was that they did not have enough "seeds" to sell abroad, so Zhang He became the person who could provide many "seeds".

Even when Zhang He went to Guangzhou, he arranged for people to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes as scheduled.As for the high-quality conventional rice, she mixed some traditional rice with it. After all, she was not in Qinghe Village and could not control the yield. She could only use this method to avoid revealing her actual yield.

The two seasons of potatoes and sweet potatoes she planted were bought by the government, except for the ones that were left to germinate as potato seeds according to her instructions. The Zhang family planned to ask her to keep some for them in the coming year when she came back.

Zhang He doesn't want to have too many calculations with them. After all, sweet potatoes and potatoes have already gained the attention of the government, and it is only a matter of time before they are promoted to the whole country. She has already done what she can do, and the next step is to spend her time cultivating tomatoes and pumpkins. And corn, peanuts and other crops above.

The author has something to say: Little Peanut: Mother, give me a hug!

Xia Jiniang glanced at the fat little peanut: Do you know how heavy you are?

(In fact, Peanut is not fat, it's purely a brain hole, hahaha)
