The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

A few days later, news of good news came from the north, Fang Qifeng led his men and horses to fight all the way north, and Bei Mo retreated in a row.

The prince of Beimo came forward to ask for peace, but the opinions of the various camps in the Beimo Dynasty were not unified, which gave Fang Qifeng another chance.Prince Beimo had no choice but to secretly take people to the capital overnight to ask to meet the emperor. Apart from seeking peace, he also wanted Jiaxiang's army to help quell the civil strife in Beimo and help him ascend the throne.The condition is that during his reign, Beimo will no longer provoke wars, and pay tribute every year, bowing his head to Jiaxiang as a vassal.

The emperor agreed to Bei Mo's conditions and promised to help quell the civil strife.The ministers knew that this was the last order of the emperor, and it was also beneficial to Jiaxiang, so they had no objection.

The emperor sent officials to go back to Beimo with Prince Beimo. Fang Qifeng adjusted his tactics immediately after receiving the order.Although Fang Qifeng has always been in a favorable position, after fighting for so long, he regained his prestige and avenged the harmed people in the north.But this is the territory of Beimo after all, these soldiers are still a little uncomfortable with the climate in the north, and it is still a bit overwhelming after spending so long.Now, joining forces with Prince Beimo to clear up the civil strife can be regarded as the final settlement.

Nurbilig regained power and immediately wrote a letter of peace after successfully ascending the throne, and attached a hundred good horses, fifty cows, and fifty sheep to express his sincerity.

Li Mingren looked at the news at the border, and said to Zhao Yunlan: "The new king of Beimo is not as weak as the one on the surface! He has a lot of heart."

Zhao Yunlan: "These people have been nurtured by fighting openly and secretly since they were born, don't be deceived by their appearance."

Li Mingren nodded, holding the milk doll in front of him: "My Qing'er has become a little heavier recently."

Zhao Yunlan was also very happy to see that the little girl was healthy and healthy. She just looked at the sky, turned her head to look at the happy father and daughter and asked, "Aren't you going to the county government office today?"

"Hey, I'll go in a while." Li Mingren's face collapsed.

Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but urged, "You've been too relaxed recently!"

Li Mingren: "No, I worry about the situation in the north every day."

"Come on, it's peaceful now, don't stay lazy at home every day, I think Chen Yiqing and the others are busy in the yamen every day."

Li Mingren said obediently: "Understood, lady."

"Let's go now!"

Li Mingren had no choice but to hand over his daughter to Nanny Cui, and walked back to the county government every step of the way.

After Li Mingren left, Zhao Yunlan fed Qing'er before getting busy.Because of this war in the school, many children dropped out of school, especially the girls. In the past few days, Li Mingyi was running around with his family trying to call these children back to continue school.

Zhuangzi's work started normally, and because of the large number of people, it went smoothly.It's just that the first stage of work is coming to an end, and the work in the Zhuangzi doesn't require so many people. Thinking of the children working on the Zhuangzi, Zhao Yunlan has some plans in mind.

"Mother Cui, I'll go to Zhuangzi in a while." Zhao Yunlan thought of the plan and wanted to implement it immediately.

Nanny Cui nodded: "Yes, Ma'am, I will take good care of Miss."

Zhao Yunlan took Chunxiang and Li Hua to Zhuangzi after finishing the work at hand. At the moment, everyone is weeding and preparing the field, and the work of finishing the last piece of land is probably over.

"Li Hua, go and bring those children to the Zhuangzi." After Zhao Yunlan gave the order, she turned and went to the Zhuangzi.He Wen has been watching the progress of the field on the farm for the past few days, and he will also ask the farmers in the surrounding villages about the schedule of planting crops in the north at any time.At this moment, He Wen just came back to sort out the information he got, when he heard someone coming in, he got up quickly and came out, seeing that it was his wife, he quickly stepped forward and saluted with a smile on his face: "Ma'am, why are you here today?"

Zhao Yunlan: "I'm here to talk to those children."

As soon as He Wen heard it, he knew that it was for the school. He Wen should have done this. After all, He Wen is now the head of the county magistrate's mansion, but he has been too busy recently and has little time in the mansion, so he asked the school There are few things to manage.

"Ma'am, I..."

Before He Wen could finish speaking, Zhao Yunlan waved her hand: "Don't blame yourself, you are useless by yourself, I'll just go out and take a walk to relax, it's not too difficult."

"Yes, ma'am."

Li Hua quickly brought these children here. There were six children in total, two of them were 13 years old, and they looked thin and small.

"Greetings, madam." The children saluted in unison.

Zhao Yunlan tried her best to be as amiable as possible, smiling and asking the children to get up.

"All of you introduce yourself, and tell your wife your name, age, where you live, and other people in your family." Li Hua said a long series with a serious face, and several children shrank together in fright.

Zhao Yunlan waved her hand to signal Li Hua to stand back, and said with a smile, "I already frightened them by calling them over, but now look at these children with a series of words. Don't be afraid, I just want to find you Let's talk, because you have worked hard on Zhuangzi, so I want to praise you."

Zhao Yunlan's slow tone made the children relax, "Is your work in the field going well?"

A bolder child said: "Successful, we have been used to doing these jobs since we were young, and besides, we can eat a full meal every day, so we are very happy."

"What kind of food did Zhuangzi prepare here today?" Zhao Yunlan asked following the child's words.

When talking about eating, the child must be very excited: "The radish stew and big bone soup for lunch today."

Zhao Yunlan looked at He Wen, and He Wen nodded. Normally, Zhuangzi would eat a meal of meat every seven days when working here, and it just happened to happen today.

"Ma'am, can we stay in the village and do things? We can do other things besides the field work." The child was still immersed in the smell of meat at noon, and expressed his desire to stay for a while.

Zhao Yunlan smiled and said, "Okay, can you tell me your name? How old are you this year? I want to know you so I can keep you working!"

All the children's glasses lit up when they heard this, and they all raised their heads to look at Zhao Yunlan when they had buried their heads just now.

The bold child first introduced himself: "Ma'am, my name is Qin Di, seven years old." After the introduction, the child remembered what Li Hua said at the beginning, and continued: "My family lives in this Qin family village. There is my grandma, but she has bad legs and can’t walk for too long, otherwise the village head uncle should let her go to work, and my grandma can work quickly. Well, there is no one else in the family.”

The child felt that he had talked too much, so he smiled shyly and stood back.

Zhao Yunlan nodded without being unhappy, and said, "Okay, one of you will continue to talk about it."

The older child stood up and said: "My name is Qin Daniu, I am 13 years old, and I also live in Qinjia Village, which is the one with an apricot tree at the end of the village. I am the only one in the family, and there is no one else." Qin Daniu's parents are Because a few years ago, he and Qin Di's parents went hunting in the mountains and unfortunately died, and both passed away.When the person was found, his flesh and blood were bloody, rotten and smelly.

Zhao Yunlan nodded and looked at the other child.

"My name is Fang Jun. I am 13 years old and I am also from Qinjia Village. I live at the end of the village, next to Daniu's house. There is also a younger sister who is five years old."

Fang Jun's grandfather used to move from other places, and he got married very late when he came to Qinjia Village, so he came too late and had a son, Fang Jun's father. Later, Fang Jun's father got married and waited until Fang Jun's younger sister was born. I went to join the army, and Fang Jun's father died in a small battle the next year.Fang Jun's mother knew the news and followed Fang Jun's father, leaving only a pair of children for the old couple.

The family lost its support for a while. Fang Jun's grandmother was already weak and collapsed when she couldn't bear the blow. All the burdens were on Mr. Fang's head, and he had to take care of his old wife and two children at home. Fortunately, the county government issued a pension to maintain the difficult period, but after all, the years are not forgiving, and grandma passed away not long after her body couldn't bear it. Mr. Fang waited for Fang Jun with a sigh of relief He died at the age of 12.

Without waiting for Zhao Yunlan to signal, the remaining three children introduced themselves one by one.

"My name is Miss Qin. I am eight years old. I am from Qinjia Village. I live with my uncle and aunt." The third aunt of Miss Qin is the third sister-in-law who came to work in Zhuangzi. When there is no conflict of interest.Although it is not necessary to treat Miss Qin harshly, after all, she has been raising her for so many years and has no intention of selling someone else's daughter, but she is not so wholehearted to Miss Qin. Starve to death, have a place to live.

"My name is Goudaner. I should be seven years old this year. The uncle of the village head said that I live in the ancestral hall in the village. I don't know where my family is, or if they are still there. I have always been there since I can remember. It was the village head uncle and the uncles and aunts in the village who took care of me."

Zhao Yunlan looked at Goudaner, as if he wasn't talking about herself when he said this, her tone was flat and her expression was calm.

"I'm Qin Zhuang. I'm ten years old this year. My parents left last year at the head of the Qin Family Village, leaving only me and my two siblings. My siblings are four years old. They were born together." After talking, Qin Zhuang eyed There were tears in it, and I couldn't help but look up to keep the tears from falling.

Zhao Yunlan sighed a long time in her heart, tried to pull a smile on her face, and said softly: "Then do you know how to read? If you want to work in Zhuangzi for a long time, you must know how to read some characters." In fact, Zhao Yunlan knew that they were illiterate, This question is just to see what attitude these children have towards calligraphy.

However, several children said one after another: "Yes, I know Qin, Qin from Qinjia Village, and my name, as well as heaven, earth, and mountains"

"I still know Fang, his name is Fang Jun."

Several children laughed and laughed, Zhao Yunlan was a little surprised, but she could see that they were very interested in learning characters.

He Wen said at this time: "I was recording in the field before, and they gathered around to watch, and I couldn't help but teach them a few words."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, it should be that He Wen is paving the way for these children to enter the school.

"These characters are definitely not enough, so do you want to learn more characters? Or do you want to read books?"

Fang Jun: "Knowledge...Of course we are willing, but it's enough to study. We have no money. I heard that it costs a lot of money to study. It is our blessing to learn a few words from Mr. He."

Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, you should be the age to study in school at your age. You don't have to think so, but everyone has their own experience. If you want to study, I can let you go to my school, and you should too. I know that Xingshu Village opened a new school and it doesn’t stop repairing.”

Several children lowered their heads thoughtfully.

"How about it? If you want, you can go to the school to experience it."
