Han Shulan had a very difficult pregnancy, vomiting everything she ate.
Li Lanzhen gave him spiritual spring water from her spatial dimension for all three meals a day, wishing she could soak herself in the spiritual spring water.
Bai Houpu and the others prepared herbal medicine and drank a bowl of medicinal soup every day.
However, these measures did not have much effect.
The whole family was worried, and Han Mingxiang was anxious and stressed all day long.
Li Lanzhen really wanted to bring Han Shulan into the space.
Thinking about it later, even if she had entered the space, she would still be in a deep sleep.
Given her condition, Li Lanzhen and Liu Zhaodi decided not to let her eat at the cafeteria anymore.
Every day, she has her mother-in-law cook for her in the kitchen in her own yard.
Of the eight maids and servants Li Lianzhen brought back, three were old women.
They all served under the matriarch in the original owner's household.
So Li Lanzhen chose an old woman to serve Han Shulan.
After the two pageboys returned, they were handed over directly to Han Mingxiang.
He gave Li Lanzhen a brief assessment and said that...
"Mother, these two children are of good character. They can write and recite the Hundred Family Surnames, and they are quite diligent."
Mom, thank you for thinking of me so much.
"What are you thanking me for? I'm your mother. Study hard and come back as a successful candidate in the imperial examination next year. That will make your mother happy."
Also, your wife has been vomiting a lot lately because she's pregnant.
Do you still have time to go into the secret place to read at night?
"Yes, I will come to find my mother after she falls asleep."
I have categorized all the books in my study.
He copied a book about various aspects of agricultural planting and gave it to Brother Zhang Songshu.
He said it was very useful after reading it.
I copied two copies of "The Thirty-Six Stratagems" and gave one to each of my second and eldest brothers.
Master Xu knows of this book's existence and wants me to ask you if it's possible for all the children to copy a copy.
Li Lanzhen looked up at him and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think this book can be promoted in Peach Blossom Spring, but it absolutely must not be circulated outside."
"That's right. Mingxiang, don't forget, there are still three imperial officials living in our Peach Blossom Spring!"
They absolutely must not find out about this!
Let's hold off for now and not make them copy it.
“Okay, that’s what I thought too. Su Chen and I can just copy it together.”
Li Lanzhen thought for a moment and then said.
"With Young Master Hao and Su Beisheng copying it together."
Han Mingxiang glanced at Li Lanzhen thoughtfully, then nodded without saying anything.
Li Lanzhen thought it would be good if the Crown Prince could be relieved of his duties as soon as possible using the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
He is the crown prince and will sit on that throne in the future. Learning strategy early will be beneficial for both governing the country and defending against foreign enemies.
"Mother, you have no idea, the math formulas you taught me were praised by both Master Xu and the two Master Lus as wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!!"
He was so happy that he was cheerful all day long.
I wish I could teach all the children, big and small, in the school in a single day.
Li Lanzhen also laughed, which was absolutely wonderful.
Before Han Minghai left, she taught him how to use spreadsheets for statistics, so he could use them to count goods in business or calculate accounts.
Han Minghai said at the time that this was very easy to learn and obvious.
Thinking of this, she said.
"I wonder how your older brother is doing now? He's been gone for over a month."
"Mother, don't worry, my eldest brother went out with Manager Hua. There will definitely be no problem."
That day, the mother and son talked on and on.
Li Lanzhen then took an old woman with her and gave her to his parents.
Li Erhan and Ye Shi thanked their daughter for understanding their hardships, and felt sorry for her for being so considerate and thoughtful in every way.
They didn't refuse, knowing it wouldn't make a difference, so they simply agreed to their daughter's request to make her happy.
"My dear daughter, thank you so much. Keep it for yourself, don't overwork yourself."
"Mother, I know. This Granny Hua is quite good at making snacks and tea. Just tell her what you want to eat."
Hua stepped forward and bowed to Li Erhan and Ye.
"This old servant greets Master and Madam. This old servant can make all kinds of pastries. Please just tell me what you would like to eat."
Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Alright, come to our house. As long as you don't betray us and do your job well, that's fine."
Li Lanzhen glanced at Ye Shi and thought to herself that her mother was really good. In her original family, her parents doted on her and she lived a good life for several years.
They knew how to train servants without her teaching them.
Of the five maids, one was given to Han Yuemei, and Han Yumei named her Jiegeng.
They gave a maid to the eldest son's wife, Zhang Yuniang, and named her Zhijin. They also gave a maid to Xu Nizi and named her Zijiang.
Li Lanzhen laughed for a long time after she found out.
These children named the maids according to their own preferences and strengths.
The remaining old woman and two maids stayed with him.
The old woman's surname was Chen, and Li Lanzhen called her Chen Niang. She had two maids, one named Doukou and the other named Liuzhu.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone in Peach Blossom Spring, big and small, has been busy every day.
The people who are reclaiming wasteland are still continuing.
The rice plants have sprouted heavy ears of grain.
The largest fish in the rice paddies have grown to about 1.7 or 1.8 kilograms.
At first, Zhang Deshui was afraid that the fish would eat the rice seedlings.
All day long, the first thing I do when I open my eyes is to go to the rice paddies to observe the rice.
After more than ten days, he was both nervous and exhausted.
No one was found to have eaten the rice seedling in the paddy field.
On the contrary, the rice grew vigorously, and the fish in the water became increasingly plump.
Only then did he believe Li Lanzhen's explanation.
During meals, he always enjoys telling everyone how he saw the fish swimming happily in the rice paddies when he went to check on the rice today, and how the rice seedlings grow a bit every day.
I also want to tell everyone that I think this rice paddy fish will work!
The cornfield is where the most work is done.
While the land is fertile and the crops grow well, weeds also grow wildly.
Therefore, weeds need to be removed from cornfields.
Recently, people of all ages have been focusing on weeding in the cornfields.
This job is actually not easy.
Corn leaves are narrow and long, with invisible serrations along the edges.
If you're not careful, corn leaves can scratch your arms, neck, and face.
With a quick swipe, a red mark immediately appears, and the sweat drips down, causing a sharp pain!
Later, Li Lanzhen told the women about a type of hat.
The hat brim is long and can be woven from reeds or cattail leaves.
A piece of old cloth was sewn around the perimeter of the hat, which was then pulled up to the shoulders and tied in the front with a strap under the neck.
This not only prevents dust but also protects your neck and face from scratches caused by corn leaves.
On this day, Master Xu found Li Lanzhen and told her about Han Ming's studies.
“Lanzhen, I think it’s best to send Mingxiang to the Youzhou Academy to study.”
I feel that with my current level of expertise, I can't offer him much. To be on the safe side, I'll send him to the academy in Youzhou Prefecture.
That way, he'll have a better chance of passing the imperial examinations next autumn.
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with him."
That evening, Li Lanzhen went to talk to Han Mingxiang about the matter.
"Mother, I understand. The teacher told me about it."
However, I think it's still worthwhile to study here, partly because I can go to the Secret Study Room to read every day.
There were more books there than I had ever seen in bookstores, and the variety of books was vast. My son found it very beneficial.
Another thing is that studying in seclusion made my memory and energy levels very high.
Moreover, Master Xu's knowledge is sufficient to instruct me in how to participate in the imperial examinations.
I often exchange ideas with Master Lu Boyan.
So I don't want to leave here.
After saying that, he looked at Li Lanzhen, afraid that his mother would force him to go to the academy in Youzhou Prefecture.
Li Lanzhen thought about it and realized it made sense; she had heard Xuan Shen talk about Master Xu's family before.
It is said that he is very knowledgeable. Back then, the late emperor wanted him to come to the capital to serve as the Crown Prince's tutor, but he refused.
"Okay, I think your analysis is also correct. Then you can stay here. I don't want you to go to the academy either. The food and accommodation are not good."
Later, Li Lanzhen told Master Xu about the results of their discussion.
Hearing Li Lanzhen praise his extensive knowledge, Master Xu felt proud for a long time and became even more attentive to Han Mingxiang's teaching.
