The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 743
Afterwards, Gu Qingjia got an official position in the local area, and soon went to take up the post.Last winter, he was appreciated by his boss and married his boss' daughter.Two days ago, he returned home with his new wife to visit relatives.And the little lady refers to Gu Qingjia's daughter Gu Hui.Although Gu Hui was not born of Gu Qingjia's divorced ex-wife, Chen Shi, and could not be regarded as a direct descendant, but because of the love of her grandmother Ma Shi and the attention of her own father Gu Qingjia, as a stepmother, Lu Shi did not dare to neglect her.Mrs. Lu is a smart one, closely following in the footsteps of her mother-in-law and husband, and loving Gu Hui very much, thus winning the favor of her husband and even her mother-in-law, living a good life.

Qing Shu heard Su's mother's report at this moment, and said without thinking, "It just so happens that the young masters are recuperating after traveling, and it's convenient to see them if they don't leave the house for the time being."

Mother Su understood immediately.The young lady didn't refuse, she just agreed and was willing to let the young master contact the eldest son.

Qing Shu said again, "Send someone over to talk to the young master, and I will be free to entertain guests in the morning of the day after tomorrow."

Mother Su agreed, but she hesitated to speak before she left.

Qing Shu was puzzled, "Mama Su has something to say?"

Mother Su finally couldn't help it, and whispered with a worried face, "Miss, you are already 20 years old." When she said that she was 20 years old, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.She is worried!Mr. Yan has been away for more than three years, and he never came back, nor did he send a matchmaker over ahead of time, leaving her young lady here alone.What's the matter?What's the use of just having letters, no one, no matchmaker who proposes marriage comes to the door, dragging her beautiful young lady into an old girl.There is no shortage of gossiping people in the world.Some people don't dare to talk about her family's young lady on the surface, but there are no small gossips about the young lady behind their backs, which is really hateful.

After hearing Mama Su's words, Qing Shu immediately understood the real meaning behind Mama Su reminding her of her age.But how should she answer this?She had no choice but to pretend she didn't understand, to be stupid, and to respond in silence.

About the young lady's marriage, Su's mother was very worried.She murmured to the head of the house in private, every time the head of the house asked her not to talk too much, saying that the young lady knew it well.well!Her poor lady!When I met the hateful Sun family back then, I had to withdraw from the marriage.Later, when he met Mr. Zhou, who was so outstanding, and his wife passed away, the young lady had to keep her filial piety, which delayed the important matter of marriage discussion.Later, Miss's filial piety period passed, but Mr. Zhou never disappeared, alas!She finally couldn't hold back, and asked softly, "Miss, when will Mr. Zhou send a matchmaker to propose a marriage?" She was worried, fearing that Mr. Zhou would miss Miss and marry his wife in Beijing behind his back.

Mother Su asked such a straightforward question, Qingshu was at a loss for words, and didn't know how to answer.

Su's mother thought that the young lady was sad, and secretly scolded herself for being foolish, actually picking which pot was not opening.She hurriedly hid some entangled thoughts in her heart, and instead comforted the master with words, "Miss, don't worry, Mr. Zhou is on the way, maybe he has a few matchmakers with him!" No, she didn't dare to stay any longer, and left in a hurry on the pretext of going to see the young master.

Qing Shu smiled helplessly, propped her chin, and continued to look at the peach blossoms blooming outside the window.During the first two years of Zhou Boyan's departure, the situation in central Beijing was severe. Although she had never seen it in person, she knew that Zhou Boyan's life was not easy.It's not easy to walk on thin ice every step of the way, but the hardships and dangers are self-evident.When the court situation was unstable, another enemy country launched a war. It can be said that internal and external troubles came together, and the emperor was in a state of distress for a long time.

Until the fall of last year, news came from Beijing.The queen mother was seriously ill, and the emperor went to the royal temple to burn incense and worship Buddha to pray for the queen mother.At the end of autumn, there were rumors in Beijing that the Queen Mother's condition worsened.In winter, the Queen Mother finally went.Within the territory of Da'an, there should be no sound of stringing and bamboo, or any act of pleasure-seeking.

During this period, the war that had been stalemate for more than a year finally changed, and good news came frequently from the front of the war.In the end, the army of the Da'an Dynasty advanced more than 100 kilometers to the enemy's country and captured three cities of the opponent.One and a half months ago, the enemy country surrendered.The war is over, and post-war negotiations begin.

The war lasted for two years and one month and cost a lot of money.On the surface, she donated 15 shi of grain to the court and sold [-] shi of grain to the court.In secret, she secretly cultivated thousands of hectares of fertile land for the imperial court for two years to expand the national grain storage.Of course, this does not mean that she brought people to plant thousands of hectares of fertile land, but that she secretly arranged people to provide technical support.Afraid of exposing her and bringing her danger, I heard that Zhou Boyan used his tricks to attack the west, and used other people or his own people to do various tricks in the middle from time to time, which not only disturbed some people's sight, but also confused many people .

That's how it worked at the time.

Qing Shu avoided the people around her, and sent someone out early through Zhou Boyan.Then, in the other five states except Huizhou Prefecture, they helped to plant a large area of ​​fields, with a total of nearly a thousand hectares.

On the surface, it was Zhou Boyan's friends who bought a large area of ​​land, and then they heard that Zhou Boyan recognized a god-like figure who could ensure high grain production, so they dumped the land to Zhou Boyan.Zhou Boyan couldn't shirk his excuses, leaving his subordinates to worry about the field affairs.Zhou Boyan's subordinates were too busy to take care of it, so they leased the land to five interested Yuanwailang or big households in their respective areas.

After careful investigation, it was found that the owners of these lands were not only Zhou Boyan's friends, but also the land secretly purchased by the son of a certain official in the south.This person dumped the land to Zhou Boyan, firstly to cover up people's whispers, and secondly to seek Mr. Yan's protection.

Some people were not reconciled and continued to dig deep, but the owner of the dug out land was not Mr. Yan's friend, but it was true that this person sought Mr. Yan's protection.Since there is a request to be given to others, it is natural to bring something out to show favor.The man thought for a while, and finally came up with an idea, offering a third of the ground with both hands.Mr. Yan refused, but did not accept.This person tried his best, and finally Mr. Yan agreed to cover him, but he didn't want his land, as long as he handed over [-]% of the land output to Mr. Yan every year for five years.

It was also found out that the friends and the land secretly bought by the southern officials and sons were all nonsense.This is actually a large area of ​​land obtained by Zhou Boyan through his connections with foreign countries and accepting bribes.

Someone found out that this was not Zhou Boyan's land at all, and Zhou Boyan didn't even touch the edge.This land is divided into five, and each is hung under the names of the illegitimate children of Zhang, Bian, Song and others in the court who did not recognize their ancestors, but they are actually owned by the third prince.

The "insider information" detected by each force is different.The news found out is true and false, and false and true. Many people think that they are right, and some have been deceived.In short, the people who thought they knew the truth finally stopped, and the forces who thought it didn't matter whether they found out or not also stopped.It didn't involve their own interests, and the reason for it didn't affect him, so the people staring at Young Master Yan turned their eyes away one after another.
