Chapter 524 Chang Yuan 4

The only person who spoiled the mood turned out to be the biggest contributor.

Xu Xinshu complained that His Majesty had asked her to go to Beijing to express his gratitude, which had delayed her research progress.

Bei Jingchu: “…”

What could she do? She could only go to the harem and seek comfort from her ministers.

As for whether it is Minister Jiang or Minister Xu, it depends on the circumstances.

Xu Xinshu led a group of people back to Pingzhou with awards. Recently they have been recording the climate and soil of Pingzhou.

Although she herself didn't care about being a marquis or a duke, she knew that those kids still cared about what they could get for their efforts.

She didn't know how the situation in the capital changed, why the seemingly lustful, decadent and decadent little prince would suddenly become the new emperor and return to his former self.

But it's a good thing after all.

All she could protect was one and a half acres of land.

Thinking of the children under her charge, Xu Xinshu smiled expectantly.

Those who have made achievements have been rewarded with titles of varying sizes. I wonder how happy they will be when they hear this.

On the outskirts of Pingzhou, a young woman made a wish to the seedlings in the field: "It must sprout, it must sprout."

"Whether my petition is a fake or not depends on you!"

She was muttering something and kneeling down before the young seedlings.

If it were not forbidden, we would offer them incense and candles.

A senior brother was watching from the side, shaking his head in despair: "Another crazy one."

Then he knelt down in front of his own seed.

The mental state is like that of someone who has failed in many experiments.

The group was carrying out some mysterious cult-like ritual when a woman from a nearby village came running over and shouted anxiously, "A Luo, your father was beaten!"

The woman who was praying stood up in panic, ran over and asked, "What happened? Who hit my father?"

She grabbed the old lady and asked anxiously. The old lady was not vague. She took two breaths and paused for a while before telling him everything: "It's your brother-in-law. You know he has a bad temper."

"We usually give in to him, but we never thought he would actually dare to lay hands on his own father-in-law!"

Ah Luo thanked her and quickly ran home, pulling her husband, who was also her fellow apprentice who had gone mad with her.

When I got home, Ah Luo rushed over and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Aye! How are you?"

The elderly man sat in a chair and gasped for breath.

Both sisters were born late in life, especially the eldest sister, who was the first child that their grandfather had been looking forward to for a long time and was always doted on.

So she is still young, but Aye is already very old.

Under such circumstances, the sister-in-law actually fought with the old man, and Ah Luo was immediately furious!

Sister Luo smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, sister. Grandpa is fine. Yulang knows his limits and won't hit Grandpa too hard."

Listen, is this human language?

Ah Luo couldn't control his tone and said angrily, "What do you mean by knowing your limits? What do you mean by not hitting hard?"

"They love you so much, this thief beat up Aye, and you still protected him!"

"If my husband hurt his father-in-law, I would divorce him!"

The senior brother on the side quietly reduced his presence.

Ah Luo continued to support his father: "Fortunately, he is a teacher in the government school! Aye is already seriously ill, and he is too old to stand the slightest fright."

"Believe it or not, I will go to the official school and make a scene, so that everyone can see how a live-in son-in-law like you, a teacher, respects the elders!"

Sister Luo panicked and threatened, "He's the only scholar in our family. Why are you making a fuss about such a small family matter? Father, it's nothing!"

"If Yulang is expelled from the official school because of you, not only will I not be able to forgive you, but your parents will not be able to forgive you either!"

"You know, they are proud of having a son-in-law who is a teacher. Our family has gone from being a farmer to being a scholar."

At this time, the old lady on the side also persuaded: "It's okay, A Luo, your Aye and A Yu were just angry for a moment, isn't this person still fine?"

The old man who had recovered also took a long breath and echoed: "Ah Luo, Aye is fine. A Yu already knows he was wrong. Don't worry about it."

Ah Luo:?

No, how did it become her plan?

The senior brother stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders, sighing, "Why haven't you given up yet?"

Ah Luo knew what he was sighing about, sighing about her past expectations.

In a place where having a son is more important than anything else, the grandmother in the family only had two daughters, her and her elder sister. She never asked for a son, but raised them like treasures.

Everyone thinks she is very happy, including herself.

But......

She was silent for a while, then smiled helplessly: "It has been like this since I was a child. Everyone says that we don't have a son, and you won't even have a problem taking care of us in your old age."

"I have been competitive since I was a child, and I want to be as competitive as men."

"People say that if you take in a live-in son-in-law, you will be left with nothing. When I heard that my sister-in-law was disrespectful to you, I hurried over to support you."

"So my kindness and filial piety have all been used as a calculation?"

"Since you want to get used to my sister and her husband, why did you ask someone to pass the message to me? Why don't you wait for him to beat you to death and then send someone to tell me to collect the body?"

As soon as it was said, everyone's anger was redirected tacitly, as if they had found an outlet to vent.

"What should we do? Did your brother-in-law really lose his job?"

"You're the only promising child in our family. If you were more promising and studied hard, we wouldn't have to worry so much!"

"You follow that woman in the fields all day, working hard, even though the monthly salary is better than farming, it's still working in the fields!"

When she was born, the child her parents had been waiting for for a long time was a sister. Her arrival was icing on the cake, not a timely help.

So there are always redundant people, and they always prefer the boss.

She knew she was just deceiving herself.

Especially since my sister's husband is a teacher at the official school.

People in the village have a natural aura towards educated people.

A person who is well-versed in all sorts of things seems to be a god who knows everything.

When people tell others that their live-in son-in-law is a teacher, it seems as if the whole family is blessed with honor.

They are even more partial to my sister's family.

Although she could read, the books she read were about farming and agriculture, so she could not learn the nitty-gritty details of the scriptures.

Master Xu and the seniors also held official positions, but she did not.

Although the master said that she was talented and even had some achievements, she could have held an official position if all the vacancies ahead had not been filled.

But she felt that they were all words of comfort, and she just didn't have them.

He was just an ordinary person working in the fields with a group of people.

Although the master went to the capital to receive the award, Ah Luo did not think that he would receive a share of the award.

The villagers deal with the land every day and never think that they can achieve anything by working in the fields.

Aren't they the same as them?

He works from sunrise to sunset, and his trousers and legs are covered with mud, unlike those scholars who are fair and clean, and seem to have the scent of ink on their bodies.

She made a feeble defense: "Some of my seniors also hold official positions. Master said that as long as we make achievements, we will be rewarded faster than imperial examinations."

It's just that she hasn't seen it yet.

She herself did not believe it, but she brought it out as evidence, hoping that they would believe it.

Sister Luo snorted disdainfully: "Just brag! Who doesn't know how to farm?"

"What good can farming do?"

"It's a waste to clear a piece of land for you to make some strange things. The other acres of land can still be planted as usual and produce some food."

"You keep stirring the drums here and there. Last time I passed by and saw them, the seedlings were all wilted! It's such a waste!"

"It doesn't feel like I'm working, it feels like I'm just having fun, and I can even get a monthly salary."

"I don't know which rich family your master is from. She comes out to spend money for fun."

Ah Luo wanted to explain that it was not true.

They didn't play.

Just like this time, she discovered that the soil near their village was not suitable for growing crops, but was very suitable for growing fruits.

But no one listened to her, saying that if they didn't grow crops, they would have nothing to eat.

She didn't quite understand. Couldn't she use the fruit to exchange for food?

But she also knew that what she said was useless. Only her master and fellow students were happy and praised her as a genius.
