Chapter 554: Great Harvest

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Dong Nuan packed everything up and was just waiting to set off back to Jingxian County the next day.

As a result, there was a knock on the door of the house in the middle of the night.

"Uncle, Mrs. Cao is gone." The person who came to report the news was a servant of the Cao Mansion. After coming in, he said sadly.

When Dong Nuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, his eyebrows drooped slightly, showing a sad look.

It's not that she is really sad, but she still has to be a bit playful in front of others.

Otherwise, it would not be good to spread the word back and be heard by others.

In fact, Dong Nuan doesn't have much feelings for Mrs. Cao.

She might have liked her at first, but after the Zheng incident, Dong Nuan basically kept away from Mrs. Cao.

Fortunately, she quickly followed Hanjiang Tower to Jingxian County, so she didn't have to stay in the capital anymore. She still had to entertain her.

Now that she came back, she was seriously ill, so she went back to Xiaowan Village.

Dong Nuan went to Cao Mansion to say goodbye yesterday, saying that she was going back to Jing County.

The old lady fell into a deep sleep. Dong Nuan only looked outside for a while and then left without ever seeing her face to face.

Now there is no need to see each other again, as the yin and yang are already separated forever.

"I know." Dong Nuan responded in a low voice, and then motioned the maid to start preparations.

She is the adopted daughter of the Cao family. When she heard the news, she had to express her feelings.

Although she was already a married woman, she was close to her and she heard the news immediately, so she would definitely have to return to Cao Mansion overnight.

My trip back to Jingxian County will also be delayed for a few days.

Dong Nuan simply tidied up, changed into plain clothes, and then asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Cao Mansion overnight.

At this moment, there were footsteps in the Cao Mansion and suppressed cries.

After Dong Nuan came over, he first met with Mrs. Cao. She was too busy, so she only exchanged a few brief greetings with Dong Nuan and then turned around to arrange other matters.

Dong Nuan doesn't need much help, because she has been away from Beijing for a long time and doesn't know much about the affairs of the Cao Mansion. If she starts to help at this time, she might not be able to help.

After a while, the daughters of Cao's family who were married outside also returned to the house one after another.

Except for Cao Xinyao, who is farthest away and cannot come back for the time being, everyone else has come back.

Everyone gathered together, and everyone was wiping away tears. When Dong Nuan saw them crying, she also squeezed away her tears.

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, white lanterns were hung up in the Cao Mansion, and relatives and friends were notified.

Magistrate Cao, who is far away in Liangzhou, probably won't be able to make it back even if he works hard.

The main reason is that the old lady's situation has been going on for more than a month. At first, Magistrate Cao came back to attend to her illness, but later he found that nothing happened. As a magistrate, he also had a lot of things to do, so he went back.

Who would have thought?

After putting it off for a month, I couldn't hold it off anymore.

Mrs. Cao's funeral lasted for three days. On the morning of the third day, she was officially buried and entered the Cao family's ancestral grave.

As expected, Magistrate Cao didn't come back in time, but if he wanted to hurry up, he could come back in time to give the old lady a gift.

Dong Nuan is also planning to wait until the old lady has had her first seven days before leaving.

After all, it’s not that short of a few days.

Because it was a trivial matter, Dong Nuan did not act in a high-profile manner. She only listened to the servants reporting to her about the matters in Zhuangzi, and she did not go to see them in person.

However, the harvest was good and much richer than last year.

Of course, the benefits of winter warmth will naturally become more.

Before Mrs. Cao's first seven days, Magistrate Cao finally came back from the trip.

After the first seven days, Dong Nuan returned to Jing County, Magistrate Cao and the others...

Well, Lord Cao and Magistrate Cao will most likely want Ding You.

Within three years, everyone must observe filial piety.

However, the influence of the grandchildren is not great.

As for what will happen in three years, who can say for sure?

After Dong Nuan said goodbye to everyone in the Cao Mansion, she set off back to Jing County.

She was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would have other things to do and she would be delayed again.

Fortunately, there were no other surprises this time.

Even so, it was already early November when I returned to Jingxian County.

Fortunately, the temperature in Jingxian County is good. Even in November, the temperature is at most lower than in summer, but it is still as warm as spring.

It was warmer than the cities we passed along the way, but it was much more comfortable.

Here in Jingxian County, there will naturally be a bumper harvest this year.

Because of land reclamation, improvement of seeds, and the promotion of homemade fertilizers.

Jingxian County had a great harvest, which directly envyed several other counties.

Not to mention other counties in Lizhou, Hezhou and Duanzhou also cried after hearing the news.

Then, the prefects, county magistrates, etc. in these places began to think of ways to get closer to Prefect Xu.

They had no way to directly talk to Hanjiang Tower, so they could only rely on Magistrate Xu to pull the strings.

Of course, the main reason is that Xu Zhifu, as the leader of Hanjiang Tower, should be able to help with a few words of advice on many things, right?

Who doesn’t want to increase production?

When people's lives are better, the local economy will be boosted, and prefectures, prefectures, and county governments will become fatter.

Who doesn't want to have a better life?

Even if they are corrupt officials, the economy below them must be improved so that they can become more corrupt.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to squeeze out the oil and water from the remote mountains and remote areas!

When the warmth of winter comes back, Hanjiang Tower is busy dealing with the magistrates and adults from all over the country.

The prefects will at least hold on to some, but the county magistrates say they don't care about face for the development of the villages under their control.

Therefore, they took the initiative to come to the door in batches. They did not come by themselves. Under normal circumstances, they would come together with the magistrate who they had good friends with. When they came together, they could still have a two-to-one advantage when lobbying.

Even though Hanjianglou is usually silent and silent, he can deal with these people in the officialdom very easily and his words are quite sharp.

If he didn't really consider the people, he wouldn't even look at him.

Fortunately, this area may be too poor, so the officials are pretty good. Even if they are a little greedy, they don't dare to go too far.

So my character is okay, everyone can do small tricks, don't exceed the bottom line and have principles, it's not a big problem.

Even if there is a big problem in the future, Hanjianglou said, I can still write a letter back to the capital to file a complaint against you.

Unexpectedly, hehe, there is a traitor from the capital among you!

"Go directly to the flower shop." Knowing that Hanjiang Tower was busy, Dong Nuan stopped waiting here and went directly to the workshop.

Nowadays, the sales of preserved flowers have entered a daily stage.

Compared with the initial order, it is definitely less now.

Moreover, most of the orders are located far away, requiring a decoration team and a carriage to drive there.

Because those nearby who want to install everlasting flower walls have already installed them.

So, the rest are those that are further away.
