At a glance in the town, you can see trees every few meters, whether they are wolfberry, poplar, willow, or pine.yyls
Moreover, several trees are planted in the courtyard or at the gate of every household.
At this time, in Yan's house, Xiang Tao was persuading Luo Jiaochu earnestly: "Madam, it's freezing cold right now, and it will be winter in a few days. Why don't you go back to the capital?"
Luo Jiaochao and Bai Guli left the capital on August 17th and traveled for more than a month before arriving here in late September.
Now that she has been here for only a month, she would not want to ask him to go back now.
When he heard Xiang Tao's words, he replied directly: "I'm not going back. I'll just write a letter back to Beijing another day and ask the Marquis to come and celebrate the New Year together. It's lively here, and it's better than the deserted Marquis Mansion in the capital."
"
What's more, her illness hasn't been cured yet, so what should she do now?
When Xiangtao heard her answer, she suddenly felt very tired. How could she still be so willful despite her age?
She married into a Marquis, so what happened to the favors a year ago? Could she just let it go?
She is the mistress of the Hou Mansion, what would it be like not to go back?
However, Xiangtao didn't dare to say it directly, so she said tactfully: "Madam, before Sister Shiqing went out, she wrote a letter to the servant, saying that she would look after you and let you live a good life with the Marquis. This is almost a winter month.
It must be difficult to walk on the road. When we go back, it will be the twelfth lunar month after all. Once the twelfth lunar month arrives, we have to prepare things for the New Year. The favors of various palaces in the capital and the stewards of the properties under Sister Shiqing's name are also impossible.
Leave it all to Aunt Suxin, right? Madam, you are Sister Shiqing's mother, even if you can't do anything, you can even come out and say encouraging words to those in charge."
When Luo Jiaocheng heard Xiang Tao's words, she felt that they made sense. Since she had made up her mind to live a good life with Mr. Hou, she really had to take care of these things.
Shiqing is not in Dachu now. As a mother, she can't help with anything else, but she can still meet with the manager and say a few words of encouragement.
Moreover, she could also take this opportunity to get closer to the Marquis and ask him to teach her what to do.
It's just that she hasn't recovered well yet. If she goes back now, wouldn't it mean that her trip was in vain?
When she first arrived, Biyun only let her rest for a few days. Later, because everyone was busy collecting wolfberries and other things, there was no time to see a doctor for her.
Now that she finally has some free time, she is planning to recuperate.
Otherwise, she would take Biyun back with her?
But there is only one doctor in this town, Biyun. The creek is still so small and there is no doctor, so naturally it cannot be counted. If Biyun leaves, what will the people here do?
Seeing that she was thinking seriously, Shaoyao continued: "Madam, we have purchased a batch of wolfberry, and I am planning to have it transported to the capital. However, this is the first time I have cooperated with Concubine Lan, and I feel a little unsure.
.How about you send it to Concubine Lan on your behalf when you go back? Sister Shiqing said that Concubine Lan will be the one to sell this piece in the future."
This year's wolfberries have grown much more than last year. When Sister Shiqing got married, she gave them a gift. Now this piece has been given to Concubine Lan. She collected it here and naturally thought of selling it.
.
Otherwise, if she spends all her money without making any money, she will feel unhappy.
When Luo Jiaocheng heard that this matter still existed and that Concubine Lan was involved, he straightened his back and said, "Send it back to me?"
If he was sent back with her, wouldn't it mean that she was also very important in the process?
When I returned to the capital, I had something to say to the Marquis.
At her age, it is estimated that it is really difficult for her to have a child. Even if the old clam is pregnant with a pearl, she will have to give birth to half her life.
Well, she thought about it, what to do!
Shiqing is her daughter and a miracle doctor. If there was really no problem, she would have nursed her back to health before, right?
Since it doesn't, I'm afraid it really won't work.
Forget it, she would ask Biyun later to see if there was nothing she could do.
If not, she should go back.
In the future, she will have to rely on poetry to get along well with Mr. Hou.
It's just that it's her fault that the Marquis can't have an heir. Let's go back and discuss with the Marquis to see if they can adopt a child from somewhere else, or adopt one somewhere.
If that doesn't work, just find an honest girl and give birth to a son and bring him up to her knees.
While Luo Jiaocheng was thinking this, she was already inclined to inherit a child.
She really didn't want to find a child born from a concubine that was younger than Xiao Nian'an, so she asked Xiao Nian'an to call a child born from a concubine uncle.
"Yes, Madam, you will send it back. I am just a country girl, and I have never seen much of the world. Now that I have to give this wolfberry to Concubine Lan, and talk to her, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it. I want to
, it’s best for Madam to do this. First, Madam is Sister Shiqing’s mother, so it’s justifiable for you to come forward in this matter. Second, after things arrive in the capital, Madam is better than a slave to go into the palace and talk to Concubine Lan about these things. After all, Madam is
The wife of Zhenguo is waiting for you, and the servant is just a servant..."
When Luo Jiaocheng heard Xiang Tao's words of praise for her, she felt very comforted. She nodded every time Xiang Tao said something.
After Xiang Tao finished speaking, she said: "If that's the case, then I will go back. From now on, every year, I will come over and personally escort this matter, so I won't make it difficult for you. Then you go and make preparations first, Madam
Look at the weather and choose one before going out. But since Shiqing is no longer here, and you are all hers, before I leave, I will prepare New Year gifts for you. As long as you are loyal to her, I will
I won’t treat you badly.”
When Luo Jiaocheng said this, she felt that she had a unique attitude of being the mistress of the house. After saying this, she raised her head and stared at Xiang Tao carefully for a while, and then said after a long while: "It has been several years since you signed the contract of sale.
I see your loyalty in my eyes and remember it in my heart. In this way, when Shiqing returns to China, I will return the deed of betrayal to you. Every year from now on, your natal family, including Xiang Xingna, will also call me at the end of the year.
No matter how much or how little you give me as a New Year gift, it is my wife’s intention.”
Xiangtao never expected that Luo Jiaochou would say these words. She was stunned for a moment, and then the corner of her mouth slightly raised with a bright smile: "Thank you, madam, slave!"
In fact, for Xiangtao, it doesn't matter whether her marriage contract has been paid or not. She is going to follow Sister Shiqing anyway.
Not only her, but also Aoki.
The couple and their children lived a good life in Tuofeng Town. Although they were busy every day, they lived a fulfilling life.
Being able to do something for Sister Shiqing here and lead the people here to have a better life is something she has always thought about before.
The reason why she was happy was because the wife said she would take care of her natal family.
Xiangxing also got married this year, and she married into the Ruanjiakeng family. From now on, her parents, grandfather, and a younger brother will be the only ones left in her natal family.
With Madam's care, her parents' life will not be too bad in the future, even if they are old and young.
Luo Jiaochou saw the joy in Xiangtao's eyes, as if a door had suddenly been opened, and her whole body was filled with energy.
She likes the feeling of being supported and appreciated by others.
For her, it's just a matter of spending a little money and talking. This feeling is really great!
But she has to think carefully about who is worthy of her doing this. She can't come randomly, otherwise she will cause trouble for Shiqing later.
"If nothing happens, Madam, will you go down and prepare things now?"
Xiangtao actually really wanted to send Luo Jiaochi back tomorrow. The road from Tuofeng Town to the capital was not easy to walk, and the canals had not been opened that much. It was cold and freezing, and the daylight hours were short. She could
There really isn't much time for the journey.
The time spent on the road will definitely be longer than before. Even if we have to go back tomorrow, it will be good to arrive in the capital in time for Laba.
"Go! By the way, look where Bai Guli, the eldest lady of the Bai family, is now and ask her to come over."
Bai Guli came out with Luo Jiaocheng. Since she decided to go back, she must take Bai Guli back with her.
When Xiangtao heard the words Bai Guli, she couldn't help but think of her with one hand on her hips, pointing at Tang Ming and scolding him.
"Yes, slave, go call someone right now!"
I'm afraid Bai Guli is at Tang Ming's house at this time, right?
Just as Xiangtao thought, Bai Guli was at Tang Ming's house at the moment and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Xiaoba leaned in her arms obediently, and said in a sweet voice: "Auntie, Xiaoba is fine, Auntie, don't be angry!"
Bai Guli was changing Xiaoba's clothes. When he heard this, he lowered his head and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoba. Your aunt is here, and she will make the decision for you. Your father is a nerd, and he has become stupid in reading, so he calls you an idiot."
It’s up to the five-year-old to carry water.”
Yes, Bai Guli and Tang Ming couldn't deal with each other. It was when she first came to Tuofeng Town that she saw Xiaoba looking thin and pitifully standing in the middle of the street.
While people were coming and going around her, she just stood there with a confused look, which made her furious when she was still on the carriage.
This child is still so young, and he doesn't look as big as Huai Jin. Just standing there, he is not afraid of encountering a flower girl, let alone being bumped by someone, or being hit by a car.
What kind of parents are these? Since they gave birth, why can’t they give birth to children and educate them?
After she got out of the car, carried Xiaoba to the carriage, and took him to Yan's house, Tang Ming came over after dark.
When she met Tang Ming for the first time, her face turned dark. In her opinion, even though Tang Ming was a widower and had an old father to take care of at home, and he had a great reputation, but now he was managing the position of Tuofeng Town magistrate, so what?
Could it be that he was so busy that he didn't care about the child, and allowed her to walk around alone at such a young age?
In her opinion, it was not because Tang Ming disliked Xiaoba as a daughter that he abandoned her like this.
If it were a son, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this long ago, right?
Poor Xiaoba, her mother died just after she was born, her father still doesn't love her, and she is all alone.
Look, they are so skinny and skinny that they are destined to be hungry. Such a young child should have been fat and chubby.
Because of Bai Guli's preconceived notions, she has always been unhappy with Tang Ming.
