Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 597
The victims in the outer suburbs of Jincheng were given an urgent task to build a large Huiyiren area next to the victims' area.

Within half a month, more than 2000 Huiyi victims arrived in Jincheng one after another and lived in Huiyiren District.

The victims of Huiyi arrived here, and they have a fixed residence, food, clothes, bowls and chopsticks, and land. They are in heaven, and they are grateful to Longbei City.

In order to allow Huiyi abandoned people to quickly integrate with Jincheng people, the Longbei government issued a notice that Huiyi people and Han people intermarried, and the government rewarded three taels of money.

Less than half a month after the announcement was made, more than 300 Huiyi women married Han Chinese in the disaster-stricken areas.

These Huiyi women are all in their 40s and [-]s. They used to live in no fixed place in the Huiyi tribe. They didn't know how to farm at all, and they brought underage children with them. If you want to survive in Jincheng, you can only rely on Han men.

The Han men they married were all widowers who lost their wives during the earthquake. They had old people to take care of and children to take care of. It was impossible to have no women, but the widows in the disaster-stricken areas thought they were poor and married local men in Jincheng. , only to marry them.

The two parties lived together as partners, with different languages ​​and living habits, and it took a long time to get used to it. Fortunately, Longbei gave money and land. As long as the husband and wife work together, life will get better day by day.

He Jingyan secretly selected a hundred Huiyi orphans and placed them in Jingyuan County, Jincheng. Several old agents sent by Li Yunqing were trained to become Dingchao's agents.

This matter was done so quietly that Huiyiqi people didn't even know about it, let alone the local people.

After the heavy snowstorm, Longbei ushered in dry and cold weather, and the northwest wind howled every day, the wind was so hard that it could blow into people's bones.

The peach and pear trees on both sides of the Yellow River in Jincheng were bent over by the strong wind by the river, and the green leaves were still hanging firmly on the leaves, which became a spectacle and attracted famous painters from all over the world to paint here.

Li Jingjing finally ordered the people in the disaster-stricken area and Huiyi area to plant potatoes on the more than 3 mu of land reclaimed this summer.

These lands are new lands dug out through land reclamation, not lands registered by the imperial court, and the Longbei government has the final say on what to plant.

The He family wrote to He Jingyan and Li Jingjing again, and this time the content of the letter was about He Jingmiao's marriage.

Earlier, Mrs. He told He Jingmiao that the three teenagers were all new candidates in this year's imperial examination.

One of the young Scholars was a student from Tanzhou Academy in Hunan Province, named Zhang Xiangfeng.

This person used to be a classmate with Li Qubing, and the family population was simple, there was no common room or concubine room, and he did not participate in the scientific examination in the upper realm because his parents passed away and had to observe filial piety. , is now studying at Chang'an Academy, and plans to return to Tanzhou Academy as a teacher in two years.

He Qing, Kong Ye, He Jingyan, and Li Jingjing all thought this person was suitable, but He Jingmiao felt that he was not handsome and did not match him.

This time the He family only mentioned one young man in the letter, and that is Murong Qinggang, the direct son of the Murong family, who is also the second elder brother of Qin Shanyi's wife, Murong Qingfang.

Murong Qingfang was listed as a candidate for He Jingxin's wife, and now her second brother is listed as a candidate for He Jingmiao's husband.

Murong Qinggang is 19 years old this year. He just got the honor of a scholar in the spring of this year. Now he is studying in Chang'an Academy. It will take another three years before he can take the government examination.

Like the children of the Murong family, he has been in business since he was a child, and now that he has achieved fame, he has not given up on doing business.

Now his property is not less than that of Murong Qingfang, apart from nine large cargo ships, there are more than a dozen shops, and he has several properties in Chang'an and Luoyang.

He is relatively low-key, and he doesn't want to overwhelm his elder brother's limelight. People outside don't know that his business is big.

Li Jingjing had been to the Murong family and lived there for a few days, met everyone in the Murong family, and knew all of Murong Qinggang's family.

Murong Qinggang's biological father is Murong Feng's fourth son, Murong Lao Si, who has a quick temper and speaks bluntly.

The biological mother, Kou, is the daughter of a fourth-rank official of the Kai Dynasty. If the Kai Dynasty had not perished and the family fell into ruin, she would not have married Murong the fourth child.

She has a gentle temperament, but she thinks she is high-minded, and her relationship with her sisters-in-law is very ordinary. Since her mother-in-law passed away, whenever Murong's fourth brother went out to do business, she would go back to live with her mother's house.

Li Jingjing read half of the letter, and said to herself: "Murong Qinggang is not bad, but his biological mother Kou Shi is not easy to get along with. If Miaoniang becomes Kou Shi's daughter-in-law, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot."

When He Jingyan heard that it was the Murong family, he shook his head and said, "No way. The Murong family has too many people, Miaoniang can't marry into the Murong family!"

After Li Jingjing read He Shi's letter, she didn't say a word and asked He Jingyan to read it by herself.

It turned out that He Jingmiao fell in love with Murong Qinggang who took her schoolmates to eat tea in the teahouse opened by He Jingxin, and then she went to Kong Ye and told him that she must marry him.

Kong Ye asked the steward to inquire about Murong Qinggang's situation, and learned that this man was very handsome and had no problem with his character, but the city government was very careful, the family was large, and his biological mother, Kou, was tall and out of gregarious and difficult to serve. He felt that it was not suitable for the simple-minded He Jingmiao, so he disagreed.

He Jingmiao's character is very stubborn, and he doesn't eat when he is sad.

Kong Ye was so sad that he had to go to Qu Shi and He Shi for advice.

He quickly wrote a letter to Li Jingjing, asking her and He Jingyan to return to Chang'an first to persuade He Jingmiao.

After He Jingyan saw it, he slapped the table angrily, and said, "Miaoniang is so uneasy, the three teenagers I mentioned before, any family is simpler than Murong Qinggang's, and there is no room yet, so she just doesn't choose , I only met Murong Qing once in the teahouse, so I must marry him!"

Li Jingjing persuaded: "Don't be angry. Miao Niang hasn't married yet. I'll write to her to persuade her. If she still behaves like this, I'll go back to Chang'an first."

He Jingyan said angrily: "I also wrote to my parents. If she still goes on a hunger strike, let the housekeeper send her to Jincheng, and let her go to the disaster-stricken area and return to live in Yi District!"

Li Jingjing also thinks that He Jingmiao is too capricious this time, and needs to be disciplined properly, otherwise, even if they become relatives in the future, no matter how good the marriage is, it will be ruined.

The couple had to deal with a lot of affairs, so they wrote letters to He Shi and Kong Ye.

Two days later, at Prince Qing's Mansion in Chang'an, He Jingmiao, who had lost a lot of weight, was lying on the bed, crying and reading the letters from his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Kong Ye sat on the edge of the bed wiping tears and said softly: "Your father and I have made a decision. If you don't obey me again, I will send you to Longbei as your elder brother said."

He Jingmiao cried and said, "I found someone I love this time, why doesn't my sister-in-law support me?"

Kong Ye really wanted to slap his daughter in the face, and said angrily, "Your daughter, why don't you love her or not? It's embarrassing."

He Jingmiao saw that tears had soaked the ink written by Li Jingjing, so he quickly put the letter aside, slowly swallowed the tears, and said blankly: "Sister-in-law and elder brother will return to Chang'an in the twelfth lunar month, and I will have to stay there for a few days If I come back and cause trouble for them, I won’t go.”
