Wang Can came in with a bowl of sweet water eggs. Seeing the shocked looks of his two cousins, he smiled and said, "Sisters, Caiwei has learned a lot from an expert. If you don't believe me, we'll be ready later. Take a look, sister." How beautiful.”
Li Yuan's skin was in good condition after being nourished by Lingquan water. Caiwei excitedly offered to help her with it, and she agreed.
It's just that the little girl has only a short time to learn makeup, and she has always only made herself look ugly, so after a while of fussing, she felt something was wrong.
Just as Wang Can was boasting, he saw her put down what she was holding in frustration and said hurriedly: "Sister, Caiwei, eat something first. It's still very early before the auspicious time, so don't be in a hurry!"
Xie Yanzhi found someone to determine the auspicious time, which was at the end of Weishi.
We had agreed to pick up the bride at noon, and the wedding wine happened to be served here. After having a meal together, the relatives would take the bride to the county seat.
No, the family members of the bride-to-be were all unmarried girls. Mrs. Wang did not use her clan members, but directly decided to let Caiwei, Qingsha and Li Miao escort the three little girls.
If the first two are given away, they don't have to come back. It will be their home from now on.
The latter will come back the next day with other people who are seeing off their relatives.
Other female family members, such as Wang Can, will attend the wedding banquet as the man's brother-in-law and can still stay with Li Yuan.
Sisters Li Shu and Li Lin felt a little embarrassed when they saw this situation.
Fortunately, there is no one else in the room now. Xiniang is eating snacks at the old house.
The two people who didn't know what was going on said to Caiwei one after another: "Caiwei, you are still young. It is normal that you don't have good makeup. It will be better when you are older."
"Yes, just study more. Now you eat first."
Caiwei, who was still depressed, heard this and thought that she had not studied for long, so she immediately cheered up and looked at Li Yuan.
"Mom, you'd better do it by yourself, I have to practice more. You can't just beautify yourself, you also have to learn how to beautify."
"Okay, let's eat first. When my mother transforms herself later, you can watch with your eyes wide open."
"good!"
Seeing this, sisters Li Shu and Li Lin asked while Li Yuan was washing her face: "Sister, why did I hear people say that the new county magistrate will arrive tomorrow. Have you heard about this?"
Li Yuan paused and turned to look at Li Shu: "Will you take office tomorrow?"
"Yes, I also heard what the child's father said. He also heard what others said, so I don't know if it is true or not! Mr. Chen is really good. Once he leaves, who knows what will happen next. Before, I listened to Master Speaking of which, my brother-in-law said that the new county magistrate is not very good, and I have been beating my heart. People will have to do hard labor in March and April. "
Originally, they should be happy on this big day, but when they heard these words, Li Yuan and Wang Can's hearts sank.
Xu Gouguan is finally here, what will be waiting for everyone next?
Perhaps feeling that she had said the wrong thing, Li Shu's right eyelid twitched wildly after seeing Li Yuan remain silent.
She believed that Li Yuan knew more than she did.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask: "Sister, do you know anything else?"
Li Yuan heard what Xie Yanzhi said and turned to look at Li Shu: "Second sister, Magistrate Xu is here to make money. He is a branch of the Xu family, the ancestor of the third prince. The third prince is already eighteen, no, he is Nineteen, I will move out of the palace next year. What do you think he will do after he takes office?"
Even Li Lin was a little nervous now: "You won't ask us to increase taxes, right? Sister, do you still remember that in Liuyun County, we used to have to pay money whenever we brought things into the city. Even if it was just a baggage, we would have to pay. Give me a penny."
Li Yuan: "..."
She really didn’t know about this!
Li Shu was a little nervous and had no intention of staying any longer. "Sister, I have to go to Mei Fang's father and tell him, don't worry about the family division. Otherwise, we will have to do hard labor. There are several men and children in our family." We are still young, and Father Mei Fang has decided to go there."
Li Lin's eyes lit up and she said: "Sister, I will also go to Qiu Yi's father and ask him to separate the family as soon as possible. Anyway, my mother-in-law is partial, no matter whether the family is separated or not, as long as the family is separated, as long as he does hard labor, it is Qiu Yi's father who will go. This The first time we go back, we will separate the families, and I will see who they let go after the separation."
With that said, Li Lin also hurried away.
Wang Can and Caiwei, who looked confused, were left behind.
"Caiwei, eat your food. After eating, go and see where your sister is. There are many people today. Don't let her run around. Bring her back to the room. Mom will wait for you to come back before putting on makeup."
"good!"
Caiwei finished her sweet-water eggs in a few seconds, then drank the soup, then got up and hurried out.
Wang Can frowned and asked: "Sister, did you say that my brother-in-law has completed all the road diversion matters? If County Magistrate Xu comes, they will take over. Once Magistrate Xu takes office, our village will be like this in the future. There are a lot of people, and if this road was the same as it was in my previous life, it would cost thousands of taels."
"Are you still worried about what he's doing? When he went back, he went to see Uncle Hua. He said he wanted the household registration booklet of all the people in Lijia'ao. I guess that's what he went to do. When he came at noon, I asked ask."
"Okay! As long as there is a road and a receiving place, then we don't have to worry. Brother Junzi and I have no children and no land. Even if we have a house, we can't pay much tax. My uncle, he is alone There is no household registration, no house or land, so there is no need to worry about taxes and corvee. But in the old house, the third brother is not a scholar yet, so it will be okay if he just wants money. If someone has to do labor service, it will not be a problem. Know who to send.”
"Don't panic. We'll wait until the others arrive. We'll turn around and the soldiers will cover up the water and earth. There will always be a way."
"Yes! If there wasn't something I couldn't say, I really wanted the people in Lijia'ao to run away quickly. In my last life, there was a flash flood in the mountains near Shuiyun Village. Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we would have died long ago. Shuiyun The village's terrain is high and still like that, but imagine that our Lijia'ao is so low-lying and close to the Liuyun River..."
"Don't think about it! It's useless to think about this. It will only make you anxious and worried, but you can't do anything. It's not even the Lantern Festival, but the weather is getting warmer. In the past few days, I've seen the snow piled up on the other side of the pond. The snow-capped mountains are melting faster than before. Maybe this year's drought, like the previous snow disasters, will be more serious than you remember. I promised me before that after the snow melts and the river rises, they will go to the Liufeng County dam. You see. As long as something goes wrong, they will definitely put the overall situation first and let people leave early."
Wang Can felt a little flustered for no reason. She covered her chest with her hands and frowned: "No matter how important food is, life is not as important. As long as you plant sweet potatoes, it doesn't matter how big they grow. When you decide to leave, dig them first." Just come out and take it away. Just sister, would they be willing to grow sweet potatoes all?"
