There were so many problems with Yan Xingjing that the servants who ran back and forth to deliver messages had to be replaced several times.
Fortunately, the results are encouraging.
Li Ning and Yan Xingjing went to the palace together and reported the matter to the emperor.
The farmers worked hard for several days before they finally harvested all the rice in the fields.
After that, he had to thresh the rice, dry it in the sun, store it in the warehouse, and also receive people sent by the Ministry of Revenue.
However, these have nothing to do with Baochai.
She just waited at home for her reward.
This reward was given after the autumn harvest of the following year, when the Ministry of Revenue grew rice with the same high yield.
The imperial edict was issued and Xue Baochai was conferred the title of county lady.
On the day the imperial edict was issued, someone from the Jia family came.
This time, it was Mrs. Wang who came in person, took Xue Baochai's hand, and praised her a lot.
Baochai just smiled and didn't respond.
The first step has been taken, and she plans to return to Jinling.
It just so happened that Xue Pan also had to go back to prepare for the provincial examination, so the brother and sister said goodbye to Aunt Xue and left.
By the time other families received the news and came to celebrate and inquire about Baochai's marriage, only Aunt Xue was left in the Xue family mansion.
Aunt Xue doesn't want to go back.
The Xue family members made her feel disgusted whenever she thought of them.
She had also tried to stop Baochai, but her son had gradually become more independent these days, and she had gradually gotten used to listening to her son.
The matter of going to the capital has nothing to do with Baochai and her siblings for the time being.
As soon as they returned to Jinling, the brother and sister were warmly received by their clansmen.
After a few days, Baochai officially took over the burden of the Xue family and became the new head of the Xue family.
It also means that in the days to come, the Xue family will stand together with Xue Baochai.
This matter was not concealed.
Soon, the news spread not only to Jinling, but also to the capital.
Some people question it, some people are surprised, but none of these can affect Baochai's current status.
Two years later, Baochai was already fifteen years old, but her marriage was still delayed.
Aunt Xue wanted to make arrangements for her daughter, but Baochai was now in charge of the Xue family and it was becoming increasingly difficult to talk to her.
With the support of her brother Xue Pan, who has already entered the court, Aunt Xue can only let go and do nothing.
In the past two years, the imperial court distributed high-yield rice seeds, and the people all knew where these high-yield seeds came from.
From then on, anyone who questioned Xue Baochai would be scolded by the people who heard him:
"Did Miss Xue make you eat too much?"
Go to the capital city.
The saint's health is getting worse day by day.
The old saint followed Concubine Zhen not long after she left.
The entire powerful class has undergone several major reshuffles. Although the Jia family has not moved out of the Ning and Rong mansions, their lives have become increasingly difficult.
Baochai has also done a lot in the past two years.
By opening factories and girls' schools, women's voice in the family was gradually increased, thereby improving their social status.
Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu were also recruited by her early on, and are now very busy.
Jia Lian could only take care of the children at home and didn't dare to complain.
After all, although the family has not been divided, everyone lives their own life in their own branch.
The living expenses of the couple are all earned by the daughter-in-law.
He's not the kind of man who would hit his wife.
Unfortunately, when it comes to an argument, he can't win against his wife, so in the end he can only comfort himself and think that it's fine this way.
Look at how tired his wife is getting day by day, while he is so relaxed and free.
Every day I can listen to Yuner talk about what's happening outside.
Lin Daiyu has always lived in Lixiangyuan in the Jia family.
When he grew older, Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing and went home.
The other girls in the Jia family all lived in the Grand View Garden with Baoyu, but she was unwilling to do so.
Now following Sister Bao, she realized that she seemed to have truly found the meaning of life, and she has never married since then.
Women's influence in society is growing, and Li Ning has visited Jinling several times.
Compared with other places, the lives of women here are very different from the past.
Even those old scholars only dared to mutter a few words behind her back, saying "it's not very elegant", but they didn't dare to say anything in front of the woman.
This time, Li Ning came to Xue's house again.
The saint's body was already at the end of its life, and he knew that it would not be so easy to come back again in the future.
He desperately wanted to see her again before that.
But unexpectedly, when I came this time, I found that there was another person following her.
"The Garden?"
When he saw Yan Zhiting, Li Ning was completely stunned.
Seeing Yan Zhiting serve her tea again, his eyes fell on her softly. What else did Li Ning not understand?
What made him completely give up was her indulgence in getting close to Yan Zhiting.
When Yan Zhiting saw Li Ning, he was also a little surprised. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Li, you are here."
The tone sounded like a host greeting a guest.
*
As a crown prince, Li Ning was taught from a young age that as an emperor, he should not pay too much attention to emotions.
Li Ning has always done this.
He felt that he had done a good job, but he was also always confused. Feelings were just like that. He didn't understand why someone would give up his kingdom for a woman.
Until he met that girl.
When they first met, he heard her boldly tell her brother that she wanted the Xue family.
There are heroines in this world, and her royal mother is one of them.
But when he was born, the imperial mausoleum had already been buried.
He had only heard of her deeds in his father's reminiscences.
He just thought it was interesting at the time, so he took Feng Ziying and Yan Zhiting to knock on the door.
If he had known what would happen later, he thought he would never have brought anyone in front of her to compete with her for her attention.
