farming female castellan

Zhang Yu waited in the main room for a long time, but before Jiang Hong came out, he knocked on the door, but no one responded.As soon as he was anxious, he pushed the door open.

Jiang Hong fell to the ground, and a long strip of cloth was hung on the beam, which was cut and tied from the bed sheet.

He checked Jiang Hong's breath, and when he was still angry, he quickly cut the strip of cloth, put it in the cabinet, helped Jiang Hong up, ran out of the yard in a panic, and called a child from the neighbor's house to go Find a doctor.

The doctor came and checked the pulse. He said that he had worked hard for many years and his health was already very poor.

His son and daughter-in-law are still working, and there is no one else in the family, so Zhang Yu has to make medicine by himself and find a way to feed it.

In the evening, the people working in the field workshops came back, and gathered around one after another to watch the excitement.

They couldn't enter the yard, so they talked outside the yard.

Li Zheng also came and stood there talking about Zhang Yu's family's past: Zhang Yu's family was not in good condition, and a large family supported him for decades, and they lived in miserable conditions, and even some people could not afford to eat The old man died long ago.

A fellow villager who came with him also began to add that when he was fleeing famine, he and his elder brother and younger brother’s family were separated, and Zhang Yu even complained, saying that without them to study, what would he do in the future.

Zhang Yu's wife is really able to endure hardship. When she came to Changping Township, she took her son to plant several acres of land and was willing to do any work. She married her son and bought a house with a loan.

Everyone sighed.

Seeing that Zhang Yu passed the Juren examination and received so much salary, the family can live a good life, but Zhang Yu first thought about taking concubines.Jiang Hong just said something unwilling, but was reprimanded by Zhang Yu for being jealous and committing seven crimes.Jiang Hong's accumulated years of hard work and grievances erupted all at once, arguing with Zhang Yu, and also fighting with Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu didn't want to be talked about, so he walked out of the yard and said: "My neighbors, I haven't woken up yet, I need to rest, please don't disturb the quietness."

Those who were outspoken immediately gave a "bah" sound: "Don't talk to us like this. You're still cheap, and you say that your wife is not good? It's also fortunate that you came to Changping Township, where reading is free, and the township gentleman brought you Let us live a good life, if you are still wandering outside, your wife will be exhausted to death by you. "

"That is, you have worked so hard for so many years. When you have money, don't you want to buy something for the lady, treat the lady better, and first think about taking a young and beautiful concubine. Isn't this what you think of the lady?"

"She does the work and suffers from it. Now that I have money, let my concubine enjoy it. No one would want to change it." People basically sided with Jiang Hong, sympathized with Jiang Hong, and accused Zhang Yugang of being rich and despising the chaff His wife, he will probably dote on his concubine and destroy his wife in the future.A few people who said that it is natural for men to take concubines were also educated by Li Zheng and others.

Zhang Yu's face was swollen like a pig's liver: "The Xiangjun Mansion agreed with me to take a concubine, and said that I would give the clerk after I calmed down the family."

Everyone laughed.Someone said loudly: "Xiangjun's mansion will allow you to take a concubine? You have a good idea, hurry up and treat your wife better, or the ink guards will come to beat you."

Everyone dispersed, and Zhang Yu returned home with a sullen face.

The story quickly spread throughout the villages.When Zhang Yu went to the academy the next day, he felt that his classmates looked at him a little strangely.

He ran to the office and asked Zhang Ci: "Teacher, some people say that the Xiangjun Mansion will not allow me to take a concubine. Why?"

Zhang Ci didn't raise his eyes: "What did Miss Chen Yue say yesterday?"

"Miss Chen said let me calm down the family first, otherwise the family will not live in peace if someone comes in after receiving the paperwork."

"Is this called disagreeing with your concubine?" Zhang Ci looked at him.

Zhang Yu hesitated.

"I heard that your wife passed out yesterday?"

Zhang Yu nodded: "I'm already awake, but I'm a little weak. I don't know what's wrong. I've been fine all the time, but suddenly I fainted on the ground."

"Is the family taking care of it?"

"My daughter-in-law cooks food and medicine in the morning, and waits for her to eat and medicine before going to work."

"Did you buy your house? When will you move to a new house?"

Zhang Yu forced a smile: "I guess it will be next year. The crops and vegetables in the field are still growing, and it will be farther away to move to the academy."

Zhang Ci didn't say anything else, and asked him to study hard first, and strive to be admitted to Jinshi.Zhang Yu left happily again.

Chen Fan looked at Yan Qiong: "You let his wife lie on the bed, but his daughter-in-law will have to work hard. Zhang Yu will not personally serve tea and medicine."

"Then let his son and daughter-in-law be busy. It's not like there are people who live in the workshop."

Chen Fan smiled: "Maybe he wants to take a concubine even more, and let the concubine serve his wife."

Yan Qiong said: "He is reluctant to let the newly married concubine serve others, and he will definitely want to buy some maids and cooks, but there is no dental shop in Changping Township, so he has to go to other counties to buy them, so he can't take care of them for the time being. He wanted to accept Hu Xiaoju from the Women's Academy before, but Hu Xiaoju and her family disagreed. Even if Zhang Yu mentioned it again, the Hu family would not agree."

"Maybe someone else wants to be a concubine?"

Yan Qiong shook her head: "It's useless to think about it, we are still here. If he wants to take it from other places, just continue to promote it to him."

Chen Fan also shook his head: "It's too flattering for him, it takes so much effort. But taking concubines is too common, and it can't be changed by waving a whip. You have to slowly change everyone's minds, and then change their minds a little bit. "

Yan Qiong smiled: "This process is a bit long."

Xiu Niang and the others were going back to the capital, Chen Fan arranged some things and sent them away by boat.They are also going to see the Yangtze River.

On the evening of the third day, they arrived near the Yangtze River.

Zhang Ci said: "Further ahead is the Yangtze River. This is Baoqing County, Jingzhou, and you can come along the river. Chunzhou is very close to the river, but the shipping is impassable."

Chen Zhongyan nodded: "Going south of Langshan Mountain in Chunzhou is the Yangtze River. There are many people and many things, otherwise it would be good for us to take a horse-drawn carriage."

At dawn, the boatmen sailed into the Yangtze River.

"Oh—" the children howled a few times.Both Chen Fan and Zhang Ci couldn't help laughing.

"Have you been to the Yangtze River before?" Chen Fan asked him.

He shook his head: "What about you?"

"I've seen the Yangtze River, and I've been to the Three Gorges." Chen Fan recited an article describing the Three Gorges for him.The children all pricked up their ears.

"Elder sister is so powerful?" Chen Zhongzhu was surprised.

Chen Fan looked at Chen Ya, this little girl didn't respond?
Chen Ya has fallen into daydream, and can't care less about cheering.

The boat sailed to the other side for a long time before stopping.Mo Jian said that this distance is convenient for returning to the voyage, and there are too many variables to deal with.

The children are not reluctant either.Chen Zhongyan said: "Let's just take a look here. We are already shocked by such a wide river."

After stopping for half an hour, the ship returned.Everyone enjoyed the sunset on the boat.

Zhang Ci said: "The riverside is not far from the county seat. Let's go to the county seat tomorrow."

The next morning, they went shopping, bought some souvenirs, and had dinner on the street.

"Baoqing County is similar to Yuanfeng County, and Jingzhou is similar to Qingzhou," Chen Xiu said.

"The affluent states here are similar, but the food has its own characteristics." Chen Ying said.

"Can elder sister do it?" Chen Zhongyan asked.

Chen Fan looked at him: "There are a few dishes that you can guess how to cook, but some cooks may not be able to cook them."

"It's good to be able to make a few things." Chen Zhongyan was easily satisfied.

On the second day after returning to Changping Township, Eunuch Xiao came, not only bringing salary, but also imperial decree.
