It is said that Xiao Fuyuan's reputation as a lucky girl spread from Shenshu Village to Nanguan Town, along Yangfeng County to Huaicheng.
Even the prefect wrote to Liu Hong asking about this matter.
The more Liu Hong thought about it, the more he felt that it was a blessing to have Xiao Fuyuan in Yangfeng County.
In particular, the iron ore and Yan millet matters not only contributed to his political achievements.
Let's talk about who can be kidnapped and discover an iron mine and weapons factory, which solves the problem of insufficient high-quality iron for casting armor for the imperial court; who can easily collect seeds and solve the drought problem in Yangfeng County.
Moreover, in such a severe drought, only Shenshu Village was green and green, especially the land of Lao Bai's family and the land surrounding Lao Bai's family, which was not affected by the drought at all.
There is no way to explain it by coincidence.
The only explanation is that God prefers Xiao Fuyuan.
More importantly, Liu Hong inquired carefully in Shenshu Village and found that the life of Lao Bai's family was getting better and better because of Xiao Fuyuan.
By chance, he learned that A Zhen was engaged to the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongjing, and he became interested in marrying Xiao Fuyuan to his son Liu Shu.
He objected to Xu's taking Xiao Fuyuan as Liu Shu's concubine, but he did not object to taking Xiao Fuyuan as Liu Shu's wife.
Not only did she not object, she even couldn't wait to make the marriage happen.
In the past few days, he had been thinking about this matter. The reason why he did not ventilate Mrs. Xu was because he was afraid that Mr. Xu's temper would make him think that the farmers of Lao Bai's family were causing trouble.
After arriving at Shenshu Village, Liu Hong became more and more eager to propose marriage to Lao Bai's family.
The child is young, so what are you afraid of? You can arrange a baby wedding first, and then give out a betrothal gift when the child is born.
Now that the prefect has written a letter, it means that Xiao Fuyuan's reputation has spread outside, and this cannot be stopped by human will.
After becoming famous, there will inevitably be many people who want to marry the Lao Bai family for Fu Nu's fate. It would be really difficult if a wealthy family like the prefect had an idea. According to his understanding, the prefect's young master is better than his own son. Just three years older.
So he wants to strike first.
Liu Hong came to Shenshu Village this time mainly because he was summoned by Meng Zhixu to discuss mining. He didn't even enter Lao Bai's house, so he went to see Meng Zhixu first.
"Old Liu, Old Liu, the military supervisor said that the iron mine in Nanguan Mountain can make iron armor and heavy weapons. You have made a great contribution. Long Yan is very happy, I am afraid that a promotion is just around the corner." Meng Zhixu said meaningfully.
"Thank you, General Meng, for your compliment. I just did what I was supposed to do." Liu Hong felt very happy.
As I walked out of Azhen's mansion, my heart was still floating in the clouds.
When I saw the door of Lao Bai's house, I became more and more excited, so as not to have long nights and dreams, I wished I could book Xiao Fuyuan and his son's doll right away.
The white wooden board carried the hammer and returned home from the iron mine. He saw Mr. Liu Hong standing at the door of his house, smiling and frowning for a while. He didn't know what happened.
"Grass people..."
"Oh, Brother Bai, it's no longer a common thing, but one of us brothers will give it to the other."
Liu Hong helped up the white board and took the hammer on the white board and put it on his shoulder.
White wooden board: "..."
He was a white man, but he didn't dare to give official opinions to one of his parents about the two brothers.
"It's all dust, staining Mr. Liu's official uniform." The white wooden board was covered with dust from the iron mine, which stained Liu Hong's crimson official uniform, and he felt quite sorry.
"It doesn't matter." Liu Hong flicked the ashes on his body and said.
Bai Banban felt that the magistrate smiled particularly enthusiastically when he saw him today, and his enthusiasm made people feel uncomfortable.
"Mr. Liu, please come in." The white board invited him.
The voices of female family members were heard in the room. Liu Hong knew that Mrs. Zhongjing Houfu was in the room, so it would be inconvenient for him to go in, so he said to Bai Banban: "Brother Bai, you're welcome. This is not the first time I've come back to your house. We Just talk in the yard.”
Liu Hong walked into the Bai family's yard familiarly, placed the white-board hammer against the wall, picked a cucumber from the vegetable field, and went to the well to fetch water and wash it himself.
White wooden board: "..."
The county magistrate really doesn't regard himself as an outsider.
"Master Liu, what are your orders when you come to my house?" Bai Banban asked suspiciously.
Liu Hong sat down on the chair next to the well and said, "Can't I come to your house if you have nothing to do?"
"When I came here this time, I saw that your wheat field is growing well and has not been affected by the drought at all." Liu Hong said.
"My boss is very good at taking care of the crops." Bai Banpan put the credit on Bai Dazhuang.
Liu Hong smiled meaningfully.
Bai Banban's heart skipped a beat, what does this mean?
"Brother Bai, do you know what I envy you most?" Liu Hong asked.
Bai Banban thought to himself, let's talk about business, don't ramble, but he still shook his head patiently and said: "There is nothing to envy, I am just a villager, digging in the fields all day long, and earlier I was hungry and gnawed tree bark. , and things have improved in the past few years."
Liu Hong smiled and shook his head: "But you have a good daughter. I envy you for having a daughter."
When he mentioned Xiao Fuyuan, Bai Banban smiled. Indeed, who wouldn't envy him for having a handsome and sensible daughter?
It's not his fault, Xiao Fuyuan is not inferior to the daughter of Zhongjing Hou Mansion.
"Then you are right to be envious. My daughter is really good, she looks very sensible, and she knows how to love me as a father. She just sent me out before going to work every day, filled the kettle with tea for me, and warned me to be careful of heatstroke. From then on, Come back from the iron ore mine, she will wet my handkerchief and wipe my face and never mind if I am dirty..."
Liu Hong: "..."
I'm just expressing my envy in a polite way, why are you still taking advantage of me?
But listening to Bai Banban's boastful tone, Liu Hong was really sour. His brat had never cared about him like this before, and he was even angry at him from time to time.
"Dad, Dad, you are back."
The white wooden board was piercing Liu Hong's heart. Xiao Fuyuan ran over, holding a handkerchief in his hand, and said: "Dad, is it hot today? Wipe off the sweat."
Then he scooped water for the white board and brought it to him, wetted the handkerchief and handed it to the white board.
Wiping his face with a handkerchief on the white wooden board, Xiao Fuyuan went to the kitchen and brought a large bowl of mung bean soup to his father. He said sweetly and glutinously: "Dad, you drink mung bean soup to relieve the heat."
The white wooden board's heart was sweeter than honey. He raised his neck and drank a large bowl of mung bean soup. He wiped his mouth, touched Xiao Fuyuan's head, and said to Liu Hong as if showing off: "Master Liu, you saw it, there is a My daughter is so considerate."
Then he said proudly: "Not only is she considerate, but my daughter is also handsome. How do you put it? My daughter is both good and beautiful."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
Dad, can we keep a low profile?
Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Fuyuan, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Yuanbao, the iron ore you discovered and the seeds you harvested have made great contributions."
Xiaofu Yuanfu bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Liu, I just did something small."
Liu Hong was even more happy. Seeing how modest and sensible this girl was, he even felt that his son was not worthy of Xiao Fuyuan except for his family status.
If he doesn't take action, he will be hired.
So he smiled and said to Bai Banban: "Brother Bai, I like Xiao Yuanbao very much. I wonder if our two families can get married?"
