Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Chapter 230: Treat yourself like a guest



Hearing that there was no need to greet his aunt, Zhang Ruyi felt a little more at ease and no longer fidgeted.

Li Haitang was surprised, Miss Zhang was not afraid of anything, she dared to fight against her stepmother, but she was afraid of an aunt, it was really strange.

"The madam basically doesn't take care of it. Aunt Lan is taking care of everything in the house."

Madam Xia introduced that Aunt Lan is the daughter of a good family. In fact, she has another identity, the previous Empress Baihua.

The master just arrived in Licheng, he heard that Empress Baihua was not yet married, so he immediately sent someone to propose marriage, although she was only a concubine, but after all, it was a woman from a good family who came in, and the one who was going to be raised by a servant was higher.

Madam doesn't like to be in charge, and Aunt Lan will help take care of all big and small affairs.

"The last Baihua Empress?"

Zhang Ruyi is a little interested in this Aunt Lan, but not so much. Even if this person can get the sole favor and has no children, the situation in the future will not be much better.

The uncle was afraid that he liked Aunt Lan a little more, so he paid a lot of money to ask Dr. Li to come and visit her.

"It seems to be a bit troublesome."

Li Haitang rubbed his chin. It sounded simple, but it was actually not a trivial matter. Ten thousand taels of silver is not a small sum for an official family.

The Xia family has ancestral property, so they may not be short of this money. If Xia Zhifu could not find a famous doctor, he would not be able to think of her.

There are too many reasons for not being able to have children, and they are also very complicated. It may be a man's problem, or it may be a woman's problem.

The most depressing thing is that there is a situation where both of them are fine, but they are still unwilling to conceive.

"I also find it troublesome. If Aunt Lan is pregnant, I will offend my aunt."

Zhang Ruyi took it for granted, anyone who is the mistress of the house would hate the concubines and daughters jumping around in front of their eyes.

Furthermore, her cousin Xia Jixiang is a descendant of the concubine, so she doesn't know if she will feel uncomfortable if she has a few more sisters of concubines.

"Miss Biao, you can rest assured about this, our lady supports it."

Nanny Xia is embarrassed, Xia Jixiang's reason is that it is too lonely to be alone in the house, and he hopes to have some younger siblings to accompany him, so that he can help more when he gets married.

Xia Jixiang hadn't been close to his mother since he was a child, and he was raised by Nanny Xia. He became her nanny, and then became a foster mother, and her mother would only despise her. For many years, she was just a decoration in the house.

During the words, the carriage entered the magistrate's back office from the corner gate. Madam Xia asked the little girl to lead the way and took a few people to the small courtyard that had been prepared.

The yards where Zhang Ruyi and Li Haitang live are next to each other. There is a pond in the backyard, which is similar to a water pavilion. When you open the window, you can see a large pond, weeping willows and a small pavilion.

"Master Li, if you need anything, just tell the little girl to run errands."

Madam Xia was very polite to Li Haitang, as her master had explained, there were only four words, "serve as a guest".

"Nurse Xia is being polite."

Li Haitang seldom deals with shameless servants, and she doesn't like the twists and turns, but she still tries her best to be polite.

Now she is only in Licheng. In the future, she will bring her younger brother Li Jinhu to the capital to meet her relatives. The Ruan family has a great career and a higher status.

She is going to build her reputation as a genius doctor and become famous in the capital. At least, these servants who watch people cook must be polite to her.

"Master Li, this is what the master ordered. Now the master is in the yamen, and he will set up a table at home to clean up the dust for you."

In contrast, Zhang Ruyi is from her own family, and she is closer to the young lady than a real sister, so Nanny Xia doesn't say so many scenes.

Li Haitang breathed a sigh of relief when they left, but it was already so difficult to communicate with the magistrate's wife.

These people all have delicate hearts, and if you say a word, the other party will be able to detect your little thoughts.

The people he comes into contact with on weekdays are relatively simple, Li Haitang is too lazy to use his brain, and after a long time, he develops the habit of speaking out loud.

"Haitang, how is it? The courtyard is not bad, is it?"

Zhang Ruyi handed over the burden to the little maid who was running errands, ignored Lu Er, who was reading a book, and came to chat with Li Haitang.

The back office of the magistrate of Licheng is very large, several times better than that of Lucheng. Although the courtyard is not as rich and exquisite as the capital, it is not bad.

"indeed so."

Li Haitang agrees that she likes to be quiet, and the other party thinks that she has a calm temperament, so the decoration is mainly simple and quiet. There is a pot of elegant orchids on the table, which emits a faint fragrance, and the gauze curtains in the room are plain but warm. It can be seen that the other party is attentive.

Zhang Ruyi was taken aback, she really didn't think so much.

"Nurse Xia said that Aunt Lan arranged the room herself."

Marrying the magistrate is not an easy person. Aunt Lan is just eighteen years old this year, and she became the empress of Baihua last year. Countless wealthy families wanted to marry her, but she just waited until the magistrate Xia took office.

If you say you don't have any ambitions, who will believe it?

Zhang Ru has too many opinions on the fight between the rich and powerful women.

"Those women and Taoists are all idle, playing the piano and embroidering, and can't find anything to do, so they can only focus on fighting for men."

Zhang Ruyi pursed her lips, looking down on everything. Use incense powder today, and secret medicine tomorrow, it depends on who has the skill and coquettish enough, anyway, it is not the main family, so don't be too solemn.

Those who are favored have status, eat well and dress well, and the maids and wives around them will follow suit and have face, and those who can't stand out will have to be trampled underfoot and live in fear.

"If these women can use their minds to deal with the barbarians, it is estimated that Da Qi will have crushed the barbarians long ago."

After Zhang Ruyi finished speaking, she raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly, or threw the women in the back house onto the battlefield.

You have to cry for your father and mother within two days, and you still think about fighting for favor? It just hurts to be idle when you are full!

Li Haitang: ...

In that case, it is better to throw your uncle Xia Zhifu into the battlefield, worrying every day whether he will lose his head, and not thinking about women anymore.

"By the way, Haitang, I have to tell my uncle and send someone to look for Lanyi."

Zhang Ruyi had a headache. Without news of Lan Yi, she panicked completely, fearing that something might go wrong.

At that time they separated, Lan Yi should have come to Li City with the caravan, but it was a pity that she didn't have much thoughtfulness to inquire about the other party's situation.

"Everything can't be thought of as bad."

Li Haitang agreed to find someone, but there are several small counties under Licheng, with at least a million people, so it's not that easy!

"I have a way, I'm sure I can find Lan Yi!"

Zhang Ruyi rolled her eyes, and immediately came up with a bad idea. She could ask her uncle to issue a wanted warrant, saying that Lanyi was a Jiangyang thief.

"So, Lan Yi was captured alive by the officials..."

Li Haitang's face was dark, and he needed to be cautious when making friends. If she and Miss Zhang got separated, this guy couldn't use this method to find someone, right? It is imperative to be defensive, Li Haitang decided to listen to her husband's opinion and keep a distance from Zhang Ruyi. This cheater never says hello when cheating!
