Princess Jianing had thought that once she had property in the capital, Song Ning would surely come to the capital soon.
But the messenger returned and said it would have to wait until next year.
It's only April now, when will it be next year?
Her heart was in turmoil.
Her son is still bedridden, and she was thinking that if he played a trick on her, maybe the matter would be resolved.
Who would have thought we'd have to wait until next year?
Song Ning will be almost fifteen next year. Girls from ordinary families would usually get married at this age.
Zheng Gaoyi's letter also mentioned that many people were eyeing Song Ning.
She glanced at her son on the bed and glared at him irritably: "When are you finally going to bring Er Ya back to me?"
Xie Linzhou remained silent; he didn't know either.
He wished he could fly directly to Song Ning's side right now, but his current physical condition simply wouldn't allow it.
He was also anxious. Song Ning had no feelings for him. What if she really found someone she liked?
Princess Jianing, after all, was in a superior position, and her thinking was consistently domineering.
At this moment, he thought that if Song Ning really got married, it wouldn't matter, since there were examples of divorce and remarriage in the Jin Dynasty.
If that's the case, then we'll give that person some money, or introduce him to someone else. In any case, as long as we can get Song Ning to them, we'll accept any conditions.
Her son was the object of desire for countless women in the capital, yet now he can't even win over a young girl.
Xie Linzhou remained calm and composed, never saying a word.
He had misunderstood something. Someone like Song Ning was definitely not someone who would be content to stay at home.
I immediately felt at ease.
Although Song Ning didn't like him, she didn't like anyone else either.
Xie Linzhou suddenly felt that he could do it again.
Song Ning, far away in Tianxiang County, is busy planting cotton.
This year, the whole county will be planting cotton, and she is in charge of all these fields.
Before planting cotton, the precautions should be explained.
When planting cotton, the planting depth is important; it is best to plant between thirteen and sixteen centimeters.
The cotton seeds from last time were taken out of Song Ning's space and planted directly without any processing.
However, this year, these seeds were left over from last year. Before planting them, they need to be taken out to dry in the sun, and then soaked in warm water.
The fields had been fertilized with farmyard manure long before the ground thawed, and plastic film was laid on the ground, but now that's not possible, so that step is skipped. All that's left is to irrigate the fields with spring water, and when sowing, five or six seeds are planted in each planting hole, and the holes can't be too close together.
This year, every household has leased some land and bought oxen and plows. After receiving training from Song Ning, they have started sowing.
After the cotton is planted, you need to pay attention to irrigation once it sprouts. As it grows bigger, you also need to prevent pests and weed frequently. It's quite a busy time.
The entire county was engaged in cotton planting. Because of the busy farming season and the need for many people, Song Ning stopped his soap workshop, garment workshop, and braised food business, and told everyone to go home and farm first, and come back after they finished farming.
Every morning, noon, and evening, people carrying tools could be seen going out and returning home in the county. In just a few days, their faces were tanned dark.
As the owner, Song Ning didn't need to work in the fields herself, but she still had to go to the fields every day.
Spring is a season full of hope, and by mid-April, most of the families who had been engaged had finalized their marriages.
Liu Yuelan has stopped pressuring him. Having learned her lesson from the Qiu family, Liu Yuelan dares not casually propose marriage to Song Ning now.
She realized that her judgment was indeed flawed.
She used up all her luck on finding a man.
However, Aunt Zhao next door has not been very happy lately because Li Xingwang's marriage has been arranged, and the bride is Luo Yingying from the Luo family.
Aunt Zhao had always wanted Song Ning to be her daughter-in-law, but now all hope was gone.
When other people's sons get engaged, they are overjoyed and can't stop smiling.
Aunt Zhao always had a long face, full of dissatisfaction.
Li Daniu was quite satisfied. Recently, his family had also been planting cotton, and Luo Yingying would sometimes come to help. She was very sensible.
Every time Luo Yingying came, Aunt Zhao's expression would change. Luo Yingying was a smart woman, so how could she not know what Aunt Zhao was thinking?
She also told Li Xingwang about this.
"Don't let my mother's appearance fool you, she's not a mean person, it's just that..."
Luo Yingying smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know everything. Aunt Zhao likes Er Ya, I know that too."
Li Xingwang quickly explained, "It's my mother who likes it, not me. Er Ya is indeed very good, but neither of us has that intention."
"Don't worry, I know better than you what kind of person Er Ya is. I won't take it to heart."
There are plenty of men in the county who want Er Ya to be their daughter-in-law, so why would she think about it?
"Don't worry, my mother will be fine in a few days, and she won't make things difficult for you in the future."
Aunt Zhao was feeling really frustrated lately, so she went to talk to Liu Yuelan. Song Ning happened to be there too, and overheard Aunt Zhao and her mother complaining about Luo Yingying.
It is said that Luo Yingying does not even have a mother at home, and she has younger brothers and sisters. She is currently the eldest in the family, and she may have to bring her two younger brothers and sisters to live with her in the future.
Luo Yingying's eldest sister got married early because of the trouble caused by the Yu family. She married someone from a faraway place to avoid trouble from the Zhou family.
I haven't been back for so many years.
Nowadays, Luo Yingying is indeed in charge of managing the Luo family.
It's understandable that Aunt Zhao has this concern.
Whether in modern times or ancient times, the "brother-obsessed" type of woman is unacceptable.
"Alas, my unfilial son just won't listen. He's set his mind on the Luo family girl and won't budge. Ever since this matter was settled, I've been feeling uneasy."
Song Ning came out just in time to hear this, and laughed: "Auntie, you don't know how lucky you are. You have no idea how many people in our county want to marry Sister Luo. They all have to line up behind Sister Luo. If your family hadn't acted quickly, they probably wouldn't have made it in time."
Although Aunt Zhao didn't like Luo Yingying, she liked hearing these words.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. Sister Luo is very skillful. Many girls want to learn her craft. She has already taught quite a few students. If Sister Luo hadn't also been interested in Brother Xingwang, this marriage wouldn't have happened."
Having lost her mother at a young age and never having remarried, Luo Yingying is actually a very independent girl.
Now I earn a good income every month and I've raised my two younger siblings very well. I've also sent them to school.
Luo Wenxin also started a business at home, and the two children gradually grew up, so Luo Yingying no longer needed to take care of them.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Sister Luo is a lucky girl. Maybe you'll be able to hold your grandson next year."
These words struck a chord with Aunt Zhao, instantly easing her earlier annoyance.
See, Er Ya knows how to talk. After saying these few words, she also thinks Luo Yingying is not bad.
Well, what can be done now, even if she's still not satisfied?
Who can blame her when her son likes her?
