She didn't see Jiang Mao when Jiang Mao came to visit her for the first time. Although the Li family didn't have the rule of a wealthy family that the daughter-in-law should not see the husband, but Jiang Mao was a junior and it was not her turn to accompany him.
The Li family's house was so big, so she didn't see Jiang Mao when Jiang Mao came to visit for the first time.
Jiang Mao's first performance was really bad, but Li Qiao had a good relationship with Jiang Zhifu, so it was a pity for Li Qiao, Tao Zhu, Li Liang and Wang Guihua.
It was originally a good marriage, but it was ruined by Jiang Mao himself.
Their regrets were overheard by Li Xiaolan, so Li Xiaolan became interested and wanted to see how good this Jiang Mao was, how dare he be so arrogant in front of her brother-in-law.
When Jiang Mao came to visit Li Qiao again, the rest of the Li family didn't think much about it, but Li Xiaolan paid attention, so Li Xiaolan quietly glanced at Jiang Mao a few times.
Jiang Mao's skin was extremely good, otherwise he wouldn't have confidently recommended himself in front of Li Qiao.
Just as Li Yuan secretly promised Xin Zhifang, Li Xiaolan fell in love at first sight.
Later, when Jiang Mao came to visit her several times, she would secretly look at them, and the more she looked at them, the deeper she got.
But she knew that the elders in her family had a bad impression of Jiang Mao, and she did not dare to express her feelings. The elders asked her to go on a blind date, so she went. After going, she looked at each other seriously, and secretly compared these people with Jiang Mao in her heart. compare with.
In terms of appearance, no one can beat Jiang Mao.
When it comes to talent and learning, Jiang Mao is a new talent and will not lose to anyone.
In terms of family background, Magistrate Jiang's rank was not bad. Jiang Mao himself had also registered with the Holy Emperor and was the Holy Emperor's grain inspector. Although he was on business trips all year round, he could meet the Holy Emperor directly when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties. It could be said that he had a bright future.
So the more people she met, the better she felt about Jiang Mao.
The last time I saw Jiang Mao, Jiang Mao was obviously a little darker and a little more steady than before. It can be seen that Jiang Mao was serious about running errands for the Lord and was not lazy.
But even so, the elders in the family still didn't consider Jiang Mao at all. Not only did they expand the scope of marriage to only those who were literate, they even wanted to find someone from other places.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. She couldn't hold it in anymore, so she couldn't help but shed tears.
After hearing this explanation, Tao Zhu and Wang Guihua couldn't help but look at each other.
It's so...
It was their chattering that aroused Li Xiaolan's curiosity about Jiang Mao.
However, Jiang Maozhen is not a good man.
The two people took turns persuading, but Li Xiaolan just cried quietly, with tears in her eyes. When Li Qiao returned home from get off work, Li Qiao stepped forward to persuade her.
At that time, Li Qiao was also very shocked after listening to Tao Zhu's retelling. The little girl had taken a fancy to her face...
But the current situation is not that Jiang Mao took the initiative to hook up with Li Xiaolan, but that Li Xiaolan fell in love with her, so he couldn't take his anger out on Jiang Mao. He could only elaborate on Jiang Mao's shortcomings.
He did have a bad impression of Jiang Mao at first.
But later, Magistrate Jiang apologized repeatedly, Jiang Mao also admitted his mistakes many times, and was actually very humble to the farmers, so his view of Jiang Mao changed a lot.
Ever since Jiang Mao became a grain inspector, he would visit him every time he returned to Beijing. The job of a grain inspector was difficult. First of all, he had to walk around the fields all the time. This was actually a hard job for a scholar who sat in his study all year round. .
Secondly, as a grain inspector, you cannot know nothing about growing crops. You have to identify the growth conditions of crops at a glance. You also have to be familiar with various farming tasks, such as when to water, when to catch insects and fertilize, and the corresponding corresponding pests for each type. You need to know what the hazards are, what kind of fertilizer is used, etc.
Otherwise, it will be superficial and the most authentic information cannot be fed back to Sheng Hong.
In the eyes of outsiders, the job of grain inspector meant that he had studied hard for more than ten years, but was sent to other provinces to grow crops by Sheng Hong.
But after Jiang Mao took office, he was very active in this job. He hired a bodyguard from Royal Logistics and immediately rushed to Jibei Province.
He went deep into villages and farms, talked with farmers, and asked for advice. He was not afraid of getting dirty or tired, and he did not complain about the difficult conditions. He could eat simple meals, sleep on simple wooden beds in thatched houses, and even sleep in the open air, eat game, and chew dry food.
After a summer of exposure and hard work, the originally fair and tender young man's complexion has become noticeably darker.
The last time Jiang Mao came to visit, he casually asked Jiang Mao a few questions. Jiang Mao answered clearly and clearly, like an experienced farmer.
As a superior, he really couldn't fault Jiang Mao. He was very pleased that Da Sheng had such a young man who was not ashamed to ask questions of his subordinates, was conscientious, and worked hard without complaining.
But from the perspective of choosing a niece and a son-in-law, Jiang Mao is too inappropriate.
Jiang Mao is ambitious and loves to pursue a career. This kind of person does not care about his family. He can only be a good official but not a good husband. He will not give Li Xiaolan the emotional needs that a husband and wife should have.
As long as they can climb up, no matter whether it is Li Xiaolan or Zhang Xiaolan or Wang Xiaolan, they are all the same in Jiang Mao's eyes.
Of course, he was confident that he could suppress Jiang Mao for the rest of his life, so that Jiang Mao would not dare to take a concubine in his life.
But given the nature of Jiang Mao’s current job, after Li Xiaolan gets married, will she follow Jiang Mao around the villages and farms in Jibei Province?
Or should Li Xiaolan stay in Shengjing and only see Jiang Mao for a month or even two months?
He listed the realistic conditions one by one, and Li Xiaolan shed tears silently. It wasn't until his mouth went dry as he talked that she raised her head, looked at him with eyes swollen like walnuts, and asked him something that made him helpless. If you retort.
He promised Li Chuntao that if the person he married was not his beloved, he could divorce her at any time.
Now it's Li Xiaolan's turn. Can she have the same chance to choose again like Aunt Chuntao?
As soon as these words came out, he really didn't know how to answer.
This girl is determined not to give up until she sees the Yellow River. She is determined to marry Jiang Mao. Even if there is a divorce in the future, she still wants to get married.
This left him powerless.
He delayed and did not give Li Xiaolan an answer. Li Xiaolan didn't make any fuss and just did whatever she had to do on weekdays. But if he talked about marriage with her, her answer would be:
Jiang Mao.
Now everyone in the family is worried about this matter.
After hearing Li Qiao's explanation, Xin Zhi was also very surprised. His family An An didn't know about this yet.
He will ask An An to persuade Li Xiaolan tomorrow.
The next day, there was light snowfall, and Li Yu'an braved the cold wind and light snow to come to Li's house.
After having a long talk with Li Xiaolan, Li Yu'an fell in love with Li Xiaolan. Yes, there is a chance for trial and error anyway. In this case, of course you must marry the person you like, otherwise you will have regrets in this life.
If they really reconcile in the future, then find a man whose status is far inferior to Li Xiaolan, calm down, and live a peaceful life, just like Bai You and Li Dazhong at that time.
Li Yu'an stood by Li Xiaolan's side. Shen Hua heard about this and also stood by Li Xiaolan's side.
If Shen Hua didn't marry Xu Ying back then, he would never be willing to do so in this life.
What are you afraid of?
Even if you make the wrong choice, you can still turn around. With so many people here, why can't you find another honest and honest person for Li Xiaolan?
With someone supporting her, Li Xiaolan became more determined to marry Jiang Mao.
Tao Zhu, Li Qiao, Wang Guihua were so worried that they didn't know what to do. Although Li Xiaolan did have the opportunity to try and make mistakes, Jiang Mao was really not a good husband.
There was no way, Li Qiao could only wait for Li Liang to come back and let Li Liang persuade her.
Or listen to Li Liang's opinion. After all, Li Liang is her father.
In Li Qiao's heart, the day of the bicycle race has arrived.
Although the original intention of the competition was to make Li Xiaorui happy, Sheng Shiyu's participation greatly increased the attention of the competition, so Li Qiao and Tao Zhu held it in a grand manner.
The competition location is on the official road outside the city. After reporting to Sheng Hong in advance, the road can be closed for the entire morning.
As for the track, the age group of seven to ten years old is five miles long, which is 2,500 meters.
For the age group of five to six years old, the track is three miles long, which is 1,500 meters.
The competition is divided into preliminary rounds and finals.
Li Qiao invited the seventh prince and the Minister of Rites, Yan Anbang, to be the referees. After consulting with Sheng Hong, he invited thirty people from the Guards to serve as supervisors to ensure that there would be no fights, disputes, etc. along the way - the children participating in the competition Either rich or noble, only Sheng Hong's Guards can shock the parents of these children.
Li Qiao also invited people from the Military and Horse Station to come over to maintain order and prevent onlookers from rushing to the middle of the road and affecting the children's competition.
Moreover, there are drink stations every fifty meters along the way to allow children to replenish their water and energy.
The competition day was during a holiday, and the weather was beautiful and sunny, so there were many people watching.
There are more than 400 children who have signed up to participate. When children come, their parents naturally have to follow.
So the battle outside the city was quite big, and all kinds of luxurious carriages almost blocked the road.
There are groups of people in brocade clothes. If you look up and glance at them casually, you will see all the people in luxurious clothes.
The entire Li family also came, including the youngest twins and Zhao Le.
Shen Hua, Xu Ying, the Meng family, and the Zhuang family also came over happily to watch the fun.
The eldest prince did not come. He accidentally caught the wind and cold when there was light snowfall a few days ago. He has not recovered yet and cannot go out.
However, the eldest prince's concubine, Sheng Shiyu's mother, came, as well as Sheng Shiyu's two brothers.
Sheng Shiyu was very happy. It was his first time to participate in this kind of competition, but he couldn't show his childish side in front of outsiders, so his back was straight and his movements were very steady.
Li Xiaorui was also very excited, jumping up and down on the spot.
He is relatively tall among his peers. Looking at a bunch of little carrot heads who are not as tall as him, his big eyes are full of confidence.
At 8:30 in the morning, the game starts.
There was no stopwatch at this time, and Li Qiao didn't want to bother with timing. The rules were very simple. The top two players in each group could advance to the finals. When the top two players reached the finish line, the game ended automatically, and the rest were eliminated.
The first is the competition for the age group of five to six years old. Children of this age are no match for Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan. Neither of them broke a sweat when they reached the finish line, beating the third place by 200 points. Many meters away.
This is the first time that Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan have appeared on such a big occasion.
The onlookers were all shocked. Are Li Da's two little babies so powerful?
Li Changfeng can forget it, but Li Yunfan is a little brother, and a little brother actually left all the boys in this group behind. This...
If Li Yunfan gets such good results in competitions such as embroidery and cooking, then there will be people coming to the door tomorrow wanting to get married.
But today's competition is about bicycles... The little guy pedaled so fast with two legs, beating all the boys in the same group. What's more important is that he was not out of breath or blushing after riding to the end. With this physical strength, he was not very It fits everyone’s impression of the little brother being delicate and soft.
A group of people couldn't help but look at Tao Zhu.
Hey, will Li Yunfan grow up to be as strong as Tao Zhu and look like a man?
Of course, Li Yunfan doesn't look like a boy. His face is round, white and tender, and his eyes are as big as black grapes and very lively.
Just looking at his appearance, Li Yunfan looks very attractive.
But this strength...
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are busy picking up Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Yunfan and lifting them up high. They are so awesome and they ride so fast!
Xiao Yunfan stayed in Tao Zhu's arms, giggling loudly. In fact, there was nothing to be proud of. After all, their eldest nephew Ruirui was no match for them.
However, it was my first time to participate in this kind of competition and get first place in front of everyone. It felt really good!
