Chapter 450 Xiao An's Growth
When he got home, Xiao An did not rush over and call "Second Sister" immediately. Instead, he dismounted and asked the people following him to lead the horse to the stable. Then he walked over steadily holding Hei Jin.
Song Liyun just stood by the door and watched.
Xiao An looked at her smiling second sister, her eyes reddened, but she suppressed them. She bowed and said, "Second sister!"
Song Liyun came over and took his arm: "Why are you so estranged from my second sister?"
Xiao An pursed her lips and said, "Second sister, you've worked hard all the way. Come inside and have a rest. Aunt Han is taking care of the house now. She might not have any charcoal. I'll go make some!"
Song Liyun couldn't help laughing: "Xiao An, this is still my home, are you trying to kick me out?"
Xiao An's face and eyes turned red, and she couldn't hold back any longer. She threw herself on Song Liyun's shoulder and sobbed, "Second sister, I miss you so much! Big brother isn't home, and you aren't home either!"
Hei Jin, who was standing next to him, was originally looking around to search Song Liyun's bag, but when he saw Xiao An crying, he hurried over, hugged his waist, and coaxed him with "oh oh".
Xiao An quickly pushed it away: "I'm not crying!"
This made Song Liyun laugh and cry.
As soon as the two entered the yard, they saw Wu Dan and Shi Tou sorting cardboard boxes, and a beautiful young wife making tea. She was Han Ming's current woman, Lang Guo.
When Xiao An saw Shitou Ge and Wu Dan, he immediately became happy and clamored to go to the kitchen to cook.
There was no need for him to cook. When Song Liyun came back, she had already gone to the town and booked a table at a newly opened restaurant, which would be delivered soon.
Han Ming and Shopkeeper Mu are now busy at Furuixiang, storing the cashmere, wool yarn, ox horn carvings, carpets and other goods that Song Liyun brought back.
Taking advantage of this gap, the brother and sister talked in the house.
"Xiao An, aren't you afraid of coming back and living alone every night?" Song Liyun asked.
Xiao An raised his head, looking proud. "Second sister, I'm your uncle now, and I'm an adult. Of course I'm not afraid. I also raise rabbits and vegetables in the backyard."
After Song Liyun got married, no one lived in Baolinju, so Han Mingzi stayed in the town.
But with Han Ming's young wife Lang Guo coming to clean every day, Baolinju is always clean.
Xiao An lived in Baolinju after he came back. Originally, Han Ming wanted Xiao An to live with him in the town, but Xiao An was unwilling, saying that he was already an adult and should live in his own home.
Xiao An cried for two nights after suddenly going from a lively environment to being alone. Fortunately, she was no longer afraid because she had Hei Jin by her side.
Xiao An naturally wouldn't tell such an embarrassing thing.
Song Liyun had already heard about Xiao An from Han Ming. Seeing that he showed no fear, she was also moved.
Ah Shi and Lin Qingyuan were right, Xiao An can grow up.
In fact, Baolinju has always been guarded by someone, and Han Ming knows Xiao An's every move. Seeing that he can live independently, he lets him do what he wants.
Now Xiao An works at Tianxianglou during the day and takes Heijin home at night. He also has to grow vegetables and feed rabbits. He is busy until midnight and only goes to bed after closing the front and back doors.
Every other day, Han Ming would come to Baolinju to see him, and would also talk about business, such as the sales of beef and mutton, how many vendors had sold wool yarn, etc.
Xiao An didn't stay in the tribe for a few months in vain. He knew a lot about cattle and sheep fur and could talk a little about it.
People often grow up overnight.
After only one Chinese New Year and three months of not seeing each other, Xiao An seemed to be a year older.
When talking to Song Liyun at this time, he was also very serious, less childish than before, which made Song Liyun happy and uncomfortable.
Xiao An stayed in Xiaoshi Village for half a month. Although his brother was busy every day, he was cheerful and happier than in Baolinju.
Especially the look of his elder brother happily holding Niu Niu made him feel lost.
I understand that I have grown up, just like a foal on the grassland, I must leave the big horse to find my own pasture.
Xiao An resolutely refused Song Zhenping's invitation and returned to Suijin Town alone.
The brother and sister chatted for a while, and then Han Ming, Manager Mu, and Old Man Xue Zhuang and Zhang all came and invited Song Liyun to a banquet in the town.
It is said that Captain Luo, General Wang and others will also come together.
Song Liyun is no longer a member of the Suijin Guards.
After two days of socializing in the town, Song Liyun submitted a letter to the county government office, requesting a meeting with Jiang Feng.
Years ago, Song Liyun had paid the money for the mountain farm that Han Ming bought, but the title deed was withheld by the county government, so she had to go and handle it in person.
Han Ming was worried: "Miss, could it be that because you married into the Di tribe, County Magistrate Jiang didn't allow us to buy land?"
Although Yunniang was the registered name used to buy the land, it could not be hidden from Jiang Feng and others. There must be a reason why they withheld the land deed for no reason.
Song Liyun pondered for a moment and said, "We can't delay the construction of the paper mill. Uncle Han should start construction immediately. One day earlier means one day more income."
"As for the land deed...Last year, Tianxianglou paid the county government three thousand taels of silver in dividends. This year, Zuichunlou and Jinxilou are also profitable. The county government won't make things difficult for us."
Song Liyun was certain that Jiang Feng would not make things difficult for her to transfer her household registration just because she married into the Di tribe. There must be other reasons that were inconvenient to say.
When she arrived at Qili County Magistrate Jiang Feng's place, she received unexpected news.
Jiang Feng is about to be promoted to the prefect of Pingyang Prefecture. It is an exception that he is promoted before the end of his three-year term in Qili County.
Song Liyun congratulated him, but Jiang Feng said, "I was just borrowing it, so it's normal for me to go back to the government office. But if the young lady knows the reason, please don't blame me for deliberately making things difficult for her."
"Master Jiang, you are worrying too much. How dare a common woman blame the imperial officials?
"But, if you are taking the wedding dress made by me this time, you should give me an explanation, Lord Jiang!" Song Liyun said with a faint smile.
Jiang Feng didn't laugh, but just looked at Song Liyun, who was now dressed in womanly makeup, for a moment before saying, "Although you are married, you are not as foolish as other women.
She was a crystal-like person before marriage, but she became stupid after marriage.
She only knows how to serve her husband and parents-in-law, and is jealous and scheming with concubines and maids, not knowing whether she is still herself.
Song Liyun was embarrassed.
Why do his words sound so familiar? Jia Baoyu said that unmarried women are pearls, and married women become fish eyes.
Could it be that Jiang Feng’s wife is also like that…
It’s not the woman’s fault if her focus shifts before and after marriage.
A man has many wives and concubines in his backyard, which is as chaotic as a fish pond, and he still hopes to raise a white lotus. However, he doesn't know that the roots of the white lotus will be dug up and eaten.
But Jiang Feng has been keeping himself clean here for two years and he doesn't even have a concubine!
etc!
Jiang Feng was not a talkative person, and what he meant by this was... obviously referring to Tang Qingluan and other palace maids.
Obviously, he knew everything that happened in the Wuda tribe.
Song Liyun thought about it and understood: the empress dowager has connections in the tribe, and the emperor also has spies.
Jiang Feng was not just idle talk, he was just reminding himself.
Song Liyun was stunned for a moment before she felt relieved.
Forget it, too many lice won’t make you itch, and too many bills won’t make you worry.
There was no telling how many spies there were among that group of dowries, and the Wuda tribe had nothing to hide.
Seeing that Song Liyun had already noticed something, Jiang Feng returned to the main topic.
