Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 226

In fact, to be honest, apart from Zhang Mantun, the royal family's tolerance for Lin Baozhu is due to Lin Baozhu's indifference to the court situation.It can even be said that in the emperor's secret report, apart from caring about Taoshuwan and business matters, this woman didn't bother about other major issues.

Most people are like this, and the emperor is full of guard against everyone. If Zhang Mandun's invincible fighter is paired with a smart woman, he is afraid that he will have a different heart.But now it seems that he is worrying too much.

So after knowing Lin Baozhu's plan to enter the palace to see the queen and then return to his hometown, he agreed to go without hesitation.Moreover, a team of imperial guards was also given to see them off all the way.

Because of the Mobei rebels, the emperor didn't close his pen until the 28th of the new year, and after the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, he began to give blessings.This is also a traditional rule. It stands to reason that in previous years, the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor had to personally write "Fu" in the inner court. Except for the first "Fu" that had to be hung in the Qianqing Palace, the rest had to be posted. Going to various places inside and outside the palace, naturally, some places for concubines in the harem will also be given.The blessings written later will be rewarded to close ministers and important ministers.

It's just that this year's war is tense, and he didn't have time to give blessings until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.Excluding those used in the palace, the first word "Fu" was sent to Prince Rui's residence as expected, and then sent to Zhang's family in Taoshuwan.

This can be regarded as an exception. It needs to be known that in the past, if the emperor wanted to give blessings outside the capital, it was mostly a feudal official, and it was a rare thing to go all the way to a small mountain village.

As for Lin Baozhu who returned to Taoshuwan, except that there were guards guarding the courtyard, her usual life was no different from the past.Originally, even the people who were working with the village in Zhangji were terrified when they saw the groups of people patrolling or holding sabers and weapons. He automatically ignored them, so he gradually calmed down, and even the aunt of the workshop would take the initiative to stay and help with cooking.After all, there were too many people, even if those people set up camp on the edge of the tea mountain, they still couldn't hold up the appetite of those buckets.

And when Lin Baozhu came back this time, not only the people in Taoshuwan were alarmed, but even the magistrate of the county brought people here every day.In fact, in his territory, there really has never been a Duke of the State, let alone a first-rank wife.If calculated by rank, when he met Lin Baozhu, he still had to salute and kneel down.

Today's Taoshuwan is not the same as before. Not only Lin Baozhu, the wife who ordered her to return home, made the county magistrate send people to repair the road early on, and even replaced the small stone tablet at the entrance of the village with a magnificent archway. With stone carving.More importantly, in the winter, everyone in Taoshuwan still had work to do.Of course, the original food workshop was expanded directly after Lin Baozhu left and Zhang Ji entered the capital and was favored.

Therefore, every household in the village has income, and some women in the nearby villages who know the basics can also come to find a rough job to do.

As the business expanded time after time, Lin Baozhu became more and more aware of the importance of decentralization.There are three sets of accounts for the left and right teahouses, the food workshops, and the river beach. They do not interfere with each other, and each is managed by someone. Naturally, regardless of whether it is employment or business, she rarely intervenes.

Now it seems that the effect is really good.

So when she returned to her hometown, besides thinking about some food every day, she just wandered around the village.Of course, when she saw the out-of-season vegetable shed that Wang Dakui and Gou Sheng had tampered with, she was really surprised for a long time, so she always liked to go and have a look during the day.

Because she is pregnant now, and Zhang Mandun is not around, and there are servants around to take care of everything, even cooking is done by Qiu Niang and Sister Cui, so for a while, she has nothing but peace of mind. The fetus has nothing else to do.

Fortunately, although she has been away for more than two months, the villagers are not unfamiliar with her.Even though at the beginning I was afraid and respectful, but after getting in touch with her for a long time, I found that she has become the only lady in the drama, the orb that even the county magistrate has to bow down and salute.So, the big guy was relieved, and would send some rare items at home from time to time.

As for Zhang Xiuniang's family, they came to eat with her from time to time, and then took advantage of the fact that they didn't have to watch the work in the workshop, and chatted with Lin Baozhu secretly.

On the other hand, Daya and Hongmei huddled beside Zhaodi and Qingqing, who were older, and learned to embroider some beautiful patterns.The life is happy and comfortable, and I am very happy.

Because of Lin Baozhu's return, Gousheng and Wang Dakui specially opened a small place to raise some flowers and plants with silver charcoal, thinking that they could make Lin Baozhu happier every day.And the off-season vegetable shed is not only supplying fresh vegetables and fruits to Zhang Ji's family, but has even been settled by some rich and powerful restaurants in the county and state cities.As soon as those vegetables and fruits grow, they are sent to the back kitchen of the restaurant overnight, and there is no counter-offer on the price.

It's not that those restaurants are all taken advantage of, it's that in the winter, there are too few fresh items, and fresh ingredients that can only be found in spring and autumn suddenly appear, which are much more expensive than meat.Not to mention that they are rushing to buy, even if they don't take the initiative to come to the door because of their relationship, they are afraid that other houses will buy at a high price.

So in the beginning, Zhang Ji was allowed to spend money to let Gou Sheng and Wang Dakui ruin the bottomless pit of the silver experiment. Everyone shook their heads and said it was whimsical. Mei Ying's sister-in-law, she was so shocked that she had nothing to say.

Later, when Lin Baozhu came back to talk about it, although sister-in-law Meiying was proud, she was still a little embarrassed.At the beginning, she thought that her son had a bad conscience, and she didn't know how many broom bumps he had broken.

"Sister-in-law, Gousheng is a good guy. Don't say he was grown up by me. Even if I look at the virtues of you and your aunt's family, I can trust him. He is your son, why don't you understand? Will you not understand him in the future? Dare to do it again, be careful to hurt the child." Anyway, Gou Sheng is only in his teens.In fact, according to Meiying's sister-in-law and Mrs. Lu's idea, they wanted him to learn how to read with his husband in the private school, and to be a champion in the future. When the time comes, the Liu family will be the champion.But I don't want to, when that brat talks about studying, it's like a thorn growing on his buttocks, and he can't sit still for a while.But now seeing that he has figured out a lot of ways, and Liu Jincai, the number one scholar, sent letters to persuade him from time to time, the family never forced him to study again.

Meiying's sister-in-law pulled the needle and thread from her hand, then sighed and said: "Baozhu, you don't know, you will no longer be at that time, and I can't control him. I'm really afraid that he will damage the material. Don't worry about it." Not to mention, you treated our family kindly, and I was really afraid that I would lose face to see you, so I acted harder."

Having said that, of course, nothing will happen.He was originally a real farmer, without so many twists and turns, and said whatever he thought.Even if there was some awe in the past few days, but when we really sat together and talked, it was just an ordinary chat.

I have to say, firstly, Lin Baozhu didn't have the habit of putting on airs, and secondly, he was a simple and honest peasant family. Although they would be in awe of officials' wives, in fact, they didn't have a clear concept of those officials' wives in their hearts. This is especially true when meeting someone like Lin Baozhu who doesn't care about his identity at all.After going back and forth, the former enthusiasm was restored to each other.

The days flowed slowly, because during the last war against the Huns, I hadn’t written a family letter for a long time, and my daughter-in-law had been thinking about it for so long, so when Zhang Mandun was a little free this time, he would ask Zhu Neng to write some words for him. .Of course, if there was a truce between the two sides, he would also scramble a few words by himself, just waiting for an opportunity to send them back when he sent a message.

In the twinkling of an eye, winter went to spring, and in March, the weather became warmer and warmer.After more than a year since the private school was opened, there are no illiterate people in Taoshuwan now. Even ordinary old women can read some simple characters. Maybe they can't write well, but they can know something when they see it.

And as Zhang Ji began to sponsor the children in the village to study, there were also a few bright children who passed the exams and passed the Tongsheng.Now they can be regarded as having the self to enter the county school. As long as they pass the county school selection, they will be students in the future.But in terms of the law, it is also possible to no longer perform military service, and no longer need to serve in corvee.

As for the rest, everyone has a craft, no matter whether it is carpentry or blacksmith work, they are enough to do it by themselves.In this day and age, with decent craftsmanship, no matter where you go or what kind of natural and man-made disasters you encounter, you will not worry about life.So the big guys are all smiling now, especially when they meet someone who used to worry about what to say about their daughter-in-law when their children grow up, their faces are full of joy.

If it were two years ago, they would not dare to think about the present day.Not to mention the matchmaker who came to the door every day to fight for marriage, just looking at the newly repaired courtyard wall and gate, and the increasingly spacious room, they are like a dream.

But regardless of how the villagers talked and laughed at Yan Yan's happy life, they only talked about the shopkeeper Xu of the Anping Tea Shop, and found Taoshuwan again.This time, he didn't come here because he wanted to do business with Zhang Ji, but he wanted to ask Lin Baozhu if he wanted to buy Anping Tea Shop full of hesitation.
