Chapter 402 Reunion (1)

The earth put on a golden coat, and the withered and yellow leaves fell down. When the frost came, only the green pines still stood green and green around the yard, appearing more verdant.

Yuxi woke up after taking a nap, and saw Nanny Quan strolling in the yard with Liu'er in her arms, and said, "Mammy, why didn't you take a nap?" Yuxi was very busy every day, but she still had to take a nap every day . Otherwise, I will not be energetic in the afternoon.

Sister Quan smiled and said: "Just got up! Governor Tan is waiting in the front yard, you go there quickly!" Yun Qing is here, and Yu Xi is so busy every day that she can't even take care of her children. I just hope that Yunqing will come back soon so that Yuxi can have a good rest

The winter wheat has just been planted, and now the people are free. Now the government has begun to let the people serve corvee. Even if there is no need to build canals and dams, roads must be built.

Tan Tuo came here to talk about the corvee service of the common people. Because in the past, the government exploited the common people badly, making the common people serve corvee, eat less, and work longer, which caused some people to die of exhaustion. They will definitely not do such a thing, they must let these corvee people have enough food and clothing, and they should not work too long every day, but in this way, the cost will increase.

Yuxi said lightly: "The money that should be spent is still spent. By the way, do you have a charter for planting mulberry trees?" Planting mulberry and raising silkworms, you don't need to go to Jiangnan to buy brocade, you can make it yourself .

Tan Tuo hurriedly said: "Ma'am, it should be done before the end of the year. However, if you want to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, you need someone to teach you!"

Yuxi said: "Don't worry about this, just go to the south of the Yangtze River and invite some master silkworm farmers to come over." Not only silkworm farmers must be invited, but also thread spinning.

Tan Tuo added: "Ma'am, not only do we need to invite experts in silkworm rearing, but we also have to let them bring mulberry seedlings, mulberry seeds, and silkworm tools." This is the disadvantage of half-knowledge.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "So you have to come up with a charter, so that there will be no mistakes." Yu Xi knows her own shortcomings, and will discuss everything with experienced officials such as Tan Tuo or An Zike before she can make mistakes. make a decision. For Yuxi, dealing with government affairs is actually crossing the river by feeling the stones and slowly accumulating experience.

This conversation is another afternoon.

In the evening, Han Jianming came back and told Yuxi about the case of Widow Zhang in Fu County: "The widow Zhang and Cao Han are good friends. Recently, someone helped Widow Zhang meet a family, and Widow Zhang's parents-in-law also agreed. She remarried, so Widow Zhang wanted to sever ties with Cao Han. However, Cao Han disagreed, and the two had a dispute, and accidentally beat Cao Han to death."

Yu Xi frowned and said: "The officials below are really poor in their ability to handle affairs." In this case, Widow Zhang must be sentenced, but the death penalty should not be imposed.

Han Jianming agreed with this point of view, saying: "The officials below should be rectified." The ability is too poor, which makes people worry.

Yuxi was a little annoyed, and said: "There is no problem with the rectification, but the trouble is that we can't find a suitable person to take over." There are really too few talents in the Northwest.

Han Jianming felt that Yuxi was thinking too much, and said: "It is not necessary to have fame, as long as you can read and do things for the common people sincerely, you will be fine."

Yuxi thought for a while and nodded and said: "Brother is right. When He Rui comes back, I will discuss with him before choosing someone." This candidate must be upright and not afraid of offending others.

Han Jianming couldn't handle the things at hand well, and he wouldn't take on this errand: "Mother is already on her way to Pickaxe City, and she will be there in about two days." Ye's body improved, A group of people set off to pickaxe city. It was also because there was a doctor following him, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to rush over so quickly.

Yu Xi naturally knew about such a big matter. Yuxi asked: "Has the house been tidied up? If there is something missing,

You tell me directly. "

Han Jianming shook his head, but brought up the last ransom: "Yuxi, I owe you the two hundred thousand taels of ransom first, and I will pay you back later." Seeing that Yuxi said no, Han Jianming said: "Yuxi, twenty thousand taels of ransom Ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, if such a large amount of money is not repaid, even if my brother-in-law is generous and has no objections, other people will definitely have ideas."

Yuxi knew Han Jianming's temperament, and since he opened his mouth, there would be no room for turning around. Yuxi said: "I still owe you one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver! To pay it back, you only need to pay back fifty thousand taels of silver."

Han Jianming did not evade this time, and confessed to Yuxi: "In the past two years, I have sold all the movable properties in private, and the gold and silver I got are hidden in secret places. Wait for some days to hear the news It’s over, and I’ll send someone to pick it up when the time comes.” That’s also a lot of money.

Yuxi's eyes flickered, and she said, "What do you mean, there is only an empty shell left in the Duke's Mansion?" She couldn't be happier not to let Han Jingyan take advantage of it.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "Almost. Apart from offering sacrifices to the fields, I also hid all the valuable antique calligraphy and paintings in the mansion." The real secret place of the Duke's Mansion is only known to the Patriarch.

Yuxi was very happy, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile: "This is very good. I think that after Han Jingyan moves to the Duke's Mansion, he will definitely vomit blood with anger."

After saying this, she found that Han Jianming's complexion was not very good-looking, Yu Xi asked, "Did Han Jingyan do something?"

Han Jianming has always respected Han Jingyan, the third uncle. Even if he was dissatisfied with what Han Jingyan did, he never disrespected him in the slightest: "After he knew where Aunt Jia and Brother Hua were staying, he arrested them and sent them to the Minister of General Affairs." Han Jianming originally planned to send someone to Pick up Aunt Jia and Brother Hua to the northwest. As a result, I got such a news.

Yuxi is not surprised that Han Jingyan did such a thing. He doesn't care about the life and death of his own daughter, let alone his nephew: "Brother, it's useless for the court to kill Brother Hua and his children, use it as a threat You work better. Don't you think?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "The child is gone. Now that I have taken this step, it is impossible to turn back. These people probably know this, so they will kill the child."

Yuxi was very sad and said: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm the one who got you both." If the eldest brother didn't come to the northwest, Brother Hua and the others wouldn't die.

Han Jianming didn't blame Yuxi, and said, "This has nothing to do with you. I made my own decision to come to the Northwest. Instead of trembling in the capital, I would rather come to the Northwest. At least I can live in peace for a few days."

Seeing the guilt on Yu Xi's face, Han Jianming immediately changed the subject and said, "After Yan Wushuang arrived in the capital, he didn't do anything. This is not like his temper."

Yuxi said: "No action now, it shows that he has a bigger plan." This kind of person, if he doesn't make a show, he will be a blockbuster. I think at the beginning of the year, after he disclosed the emperor's collusion with the Donghu people, he rebelled against the Communist Party of China. Therefore, Yan Wushuang must be planning something this time.

Han Jianming actually thought the same way: "Yan Wushuang acts very cautiously, and his confidantes are also very tight-lipped, so we can't get any news."

Yu Xi was not surprised by this: "As long as he doesn't set our minds on us, we don't have much to do with what he does." At least, Yan Wushuang won't set their minds on them for the time being.

At this moment, there was a sound of sonorous footsteps outside the study. A smile appeared on Yu Xi's face, and she said, "He Rui is back."

Han Jianming's brows twitched. From the sound of his footsteps, he could tell that Yunqing had returned. He was really interested in Yunqing.

After Yun Qing greeted Han Jianming, he went back to the backyard and didn't go to see Zao Zao and Liu Er, but went to take a bath first.

When Yuxi rubbed his back, he found a new scar on Yunqing Hebo. Fortunately, the scar was not deep, and new flesh had already grown. Yu Xi's face fell immediately, and she asked, "Is it because of this scar that I came back late?"

Yunqing naturally refused to admit it, and said: "It was injured during the war. I delayed my return until now because I borrowed sheep breeds for those displaced herdsmen." It has been greatly improved. It was also because of this idea that Yunqing put his greatest enthusiasm into it.

Although Yuxi was a little speechless about Yunqing's thoughts, lending sheep breeds to those herdsmen would definitely make it easier for them to submit: "The West Sea is rich in resources, and we must make good use of them in the future."

Wash from head to toe, clean. After washing, Yun Qing shaved again, and then went to find Zao Zao.

Hearing Zao Zao called Dad, Yun Qing hugged him and kissed him, then threw it on his head, then caught it and continued to throw it. Zao Zao was not afraid, she giggled happily.

Standing in the yard, Han Jianming watched the scene, and said to Yuxi in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that my brother-in-law will drop the child?" Once the child falls to the ground without catching it, his life will be in danger. That's not a joke.

Yuxi said: "This is not possible." Yuxi also said about Yunqing, but it is a pity that Yunqing will listen to her advice on other matters, but Yunqing never listens to her about children, and does what he wants to do.

Han Jianming was dumbfounded.

Yuxi said: "It's almost enough. Don't just focus on jujube, Liu Er doesn't care about it." Yuxi had suffered enough from her parents' partiality, so she asked Yunqing to treat the two children with a bowl of water. Of course, she did the same thing herself.

Seeing Yunqing put down Zaozao and picked up Liu'er, Han Jianming felt like he was going blind. He heard that Yunqing obeyed Yuxi's words, but he was not as shocked as what he saw with his own eyes.

Yun Qing hugged Liu'er now, kissed Yu Xi and said, "Liu'er is more than ten months old, I don't know when he can call someone?" Zao Zao's first call was Grandpa, I hope Liu'er was the first to be able to call her father.

Yuxi smiled and said: "When it's time to speak, the child will naturally speak. Don't stick around in the yard, go into the house!"

"Mother, hug..." Zaozao doesn't want Zeng's mother to hug her, but Yuxi.

Yuxi seldom holds jujubes now because the jujubes are too heavy and press their hands. After just hugging for a while, Yuxi couldn't bear it anymore. (to be continued)
