The second beggar walked up to Dafang with trembling hands and slowly lifted the red veil.
Dafang lowered her head shyly, and Erlaizi was stunned by Dafang's beauty with light makeup on.
He stammered, "Dafang, you are so beautiful."
Dafang's face turned even redder. "Stop teasing me. Hurry up!"
"Huh? Hurry up, what?"
Dafang was a little annoyed and punched Erlaizi.
"Oh, I know. I'm too nervous right now, and my brain isn't working well."
He picked up the wine on the table and handed it to Dafang. They put their arms around each other, drank the wedding wine, and then each cut off a small tuft of hair and braided it together, implying that they would be husband and wife from now on.
After completing all the steps, Er Laizi was about to take off the hairpin on Dafang's head when he saw Dafang wearing the osmanthus hairpin he had given her.
I feel so happy and blessed! It feels so good to have a gift I gave valued.
The candle was blown out, and Er Laizi kissed her on the lips.
The next morning, when Dafang woke up, he found that he was the only one left in the room. He put on his clothes and walked into the yard, and found that Erlaizi had already started chopping wood and boiling water early.
"Thank you for your hard work last night," Erlaizi said shyly as he looked at the firewood and water in front of him.
Dafang cried out, turned around and went back to the house. After closing the door, she couldn't stop smiling.
At the Jiang family, Feng Xiaoli said, "Our Yubao will be one month old the day after tomorrow, so it's time to officially give him a name."
Jiang Dafeng looked at Li Jingchen with some embarrassment. After rescuing Li Jingchen, Jiang Dafeng saw that the boy was down-to-earth and capable, so he wanted to bring the two together.
She also clearly told Li Jingchen that her family wanted to find a son-in-law for Tuantuan, and that the child should be named Jiang, but she was also willing to find a good girl for Li Jingchen to marry, and not a son-in-law.
Li Jingchen firmly chose to be a son-in-law at that time, and said, "I like Tuantuan, I don't want to marry anyone else, and your family saved my life, I want to repay you with my whole life."
So the two got married successfully, but the current Li Jingchen was no longer the Li Jingchen who was about to starve to death.
Li Jingchen immediately understood Jiang Dafeng's concerns. "I think we can name Yubao Jiang Yuxin. Xin also represents a new beginning. What do you think?"
Jiang Dafeng was very moved. This child is really good.
Jiang Tuantuan thought the name was very good, Yuxin.
"Do you like this name, Yuxin?"
It was rare for Yubao to be awake now. When he heard these two words, he babbled and stretched out his chubby arms to ask for a hug.
Jiang Tuantuan held Yubao in his arms, and Li Jingchen called out, "Yuxin."
Yubao grinned and drooled.
The name was officially decided: "Jiang Yuxin."
In ancient times, many children died young, so no big celebration would be held on the full moon day, for fear that the child would not be able to contain the joy.
So on the day of the full moon ceremony, only the whole family was together. We plan to wait until Yubao is 100 days old to invite relatives and friends to join in the fun.
That day, Mr. Zhou planned to check on the winter wheat in the field. After all, it had been planted for more than half a month.
When the farmkeeper saw Master Zhou coming, he excitedly introduced the crops, "Master, look, all the seeds we planted have sprouted. Some are even showing signs of sprouting. It's truly miraculous."
Mr. Zhou was very happy looking at the malt in the field. He told the housekeeper to take good care of the wheat. When there was a harvest next year, you would definitely benefit from it.
The governor of Jizhou could not stay idle at home, so he went out for inspection again to see the situation of the refugees. He inspected several counties and found that the situation was very bad. The relief grain from the court should have been enough, but when he saw many refugees starting to chew tree bark, he knew that it must have been embezzled. He immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to the imperial city at full speed.
But when passing through Fujiang County, I saw a completely different scene. People in other places were lifeless, but here they were full of vitality.
The refugees were all working in the fields in turn, some were planting, some were clearing wasteland. Although no one was smiling, they were not like the people in other places who always had frowns on their faces.
The governor of Jizhou asked a refugee curiously, "Are you farming?"
The refugee took one look at his clothes and the horse he was leading and immediately knew he was a nobleman. He quickly replied, "It was the county magistrate who asked us to plant winter wheat."
The Jizhou governor was even more curious. "This is the first time I've heard of winter wheat being grown. Besides, the soil quality doesn't look good."
The refugee immediately brought the governor to the field excitedly and said, "Look, sir, we planted the seeds in just half a month. Now they are sprouting. In a few days they should be able to sprout."
The governor of Jizhou patted the refugee on the shoulder and said, "Do your best."
He mounted his horse and headed towards the county government office.
County Magistrate Zhao had just finished dealing with a bunch of things in the county two days ago, so today he wanted to go on strike at home and have a good rest. At noon, he would bask in the sun, drink tea in the yard, and play with birds. It was so comfortable.
As a result, he heard the servant report that someone had come to the county government office and wanted to see the county magistrate.
County Magistrate Zhao asked the servant to go out and refuse the invitation, saying that he had something to do today and asked the servant to come back tomorrow.
The servant took two steps back and said with some embarrassment: "You'd better go and take a look. I don't think the man's clothes are ordinary."
Magistrate Zhao suddenly felt that the tea in his hand no longer had any fragrance. He folded his fan and knocked the servant on the head, "Who is the magistrate between us?"
County Magistrate Zhao walked towards the county government office in a rage, his beard flying up in anger. As a result, when he looked up, he bumped face to face with the Governor of Jizhou. His hands trembled and his fan almost fell to the ground.
"I didn't know the Governor was coming today. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I'm so sorry."
The Jizhou Governor shook his head indifferently and walked to the lobby to sit down. "I happened to visit here today and saw the refugees outside the county town were all working on the land. They said they were planting winter wheat under the order of the county magistrate."
County Magistrate Zhao nodded immediately. "I asked them to plant. If the refugees waited for food at the county gate every day, they would have nothing to do and would easily riot. I happened to buy some winter wheat seeds from a woman a while ago, so I thought of letting them use their own labor to plant something and reclaim some wasteland. By next year, I can provide these homeless refugees with a home."
The Jizhou governor laughed, pleased with Magistrate Zhao's actions, but also curious. "Who is this woman? We haven't planted winter wheat in years, and our seeds can't adapt to the cold winter, yet I see the seeds in the field are sprouting."
"That woman is Lieutenant General Li's wife."
The governor of Jizhou suddenly thought of the extraordinary woman who suggested using dam piers to build the dam. After she left, she was never found again.
