It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

"We were in a hurry, so we just cleaned it. Fortunately, the yard is well maintained and doesn't need to be repaired. When you get married, we must replace the furniture. Should we find someone to make it custom? I heard that the step-out bed as a dowry is very labor-intensive."

Fenggu kept talking about getting married, but Weng Xiaoxiao knew that day would not come sooner, so she didn't take it to heart.

It was okay for the furniture to be old, solid wood furniture was still strong and durable even when it was old, she just asked someone to repaint the bad parts with tung oil. It was actually easy to replace the furniture, there was a carpenter on the farm, but it was not necessary.

"The east wing is a study?"

"Yes, it is used as a study, and the west wing is used as a storeroom, although it is empty inside."

Weng Xiaoxiao only bought some travel notes occasionally, and never any serious classics, history, or collections. Although she didn't have many books, a study was still necessary. Moreover, when she saw this house, she had a feeling that she would take root here and live here for a long time.

From the crescent door on the east side of the room, you can enter the back room, which is more private and is the last row of houses in the house. Weng Xiaoxiao arranged it for Mrs. Gan, Kang Bao, Chunxia and Xiaohua, and even left one room for Aunt Zhang, which is equivalent to a women's dormitory.

The large luggage had been moved in a long time ago, and today there were only some small bags that I carried with me.

Everyone went back to their rooms to put down their things and came out soon to visit each other and take a look at their new home. Everyone had a happy face.

Mrs. Gan took Xiaohua for a walk and then went to the kitchen. They were busy preparing meals for more than a dozen people, but fortunately they didn't have to worry about the shopping.

Look at the huge yard. Even if everyone cleans their own room, the courtyard is still quite large, and the servants are not allowed to go to the backyard without anything to do.

"Aunt, buy two more maids. Put one in the yard over there to wash clothes and cook for the bachelors. We also need someone to do rough work here. Mrs. Gan and Xiaohua are too busy to handle it."

Aunt Feng curled her lips, "Chunxia is always by your side, and she basically doesn't do any work. Qiuyue is pregnant, so she just needs to take care of the accounts and give instructions. There are so many places to clean, and so many people to cook. Even if we rely on Gan Sao and Xiaohua, adding one more person to do odd jobs won't be enough to handle it. I think we need at least two."

It's not a big problem to support one more person. "Okay, then, go and choose someone."

"Well, go ahead and do your thing. I know that I am very interested in sweet potatoes and I wish I could go to see them once a day."

Food was given in exchange for work, so the people were very motivated and the farmland had been cleared long ago.

The sweet potatoes have been transplanted into the fields, and Liu Zhuangtou's second son Liu Hongxiang is in charge of them.

The vegetables have also been planted. The temperature is high, so they are sprouting and growing quickly. The vegetable field is already green.

The rice seedlings have been planted in the paddy fields and everything is going well.

"After the Autumn Examination is over, we will also host a banquet for those two poor scholars."

Feng Gu looked at Weng Xiaoxiao, feeling both distressed and envious. For a woman to live like this, her life was worth it.

She was fortunate enough to witness it all and participate in many things, and she has no regrets in her life.

The autumn examination was divided into three sessions, held on August 9, 12, and 15. On the morning of the 9th, Weng Xiaoxiao rushed over to cheer for the two scholars and sent them to the examination room.

……

After a day's rest, on August 14, Feng Gu took Weng Xiaoxiao to the temple where Li Hong was staying.

The two of them first went to the main hall to burn incense and donate incense money before they met Li Hong in a pavilion in the back garden.

In the past few years, it was Fenggu who came to visit and help Li Hong. Weng Xiaoxiao had never come and had never seen him. In the past, she just treated him as a poor child and was helping him.

"Hello, sister."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Li Hong with interest. The boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, was tall and handsome. Even without taking his pulse, one could tell that he was a girl. His medical skills seemed good. In a few years, he would definitely be an extraordinary person.

"Mr. Li let me see the medical book, but what are your plans?" Weng Xiaoxiao did not hide anything.

Li Hong smiled, without any embarrassment, lifted up his monk robe, and knelt down. "Thanks to Master's care over the past few years, I was able to grow up safely. This was inseparable from your tacit approval and support. You and Master have done the same thing for me, and Li Hong will remember it in his heart."

Bang bang bang, he kowtowed three times.

"There's no need to do that. We just lent a hand to the best of our ability."

Li Hong stood up and sat directly opposite Weng Xiaoxiao, looking serious. "I want to carry forward the family's medical skills, and I want to avenge the extermination of my family. I live my life for these two things."

The boy's face was calm, but his clenched fists showed the strong emotions he was feeling.

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

"Revenge is not something that can be achieved by just talking about it. Only medical skills can make me stronger. I have memorized the medical books thoroughly. Now all I need to do is see more patients and gain experience. However, practicing medicine outside always carries the risk of being exposed. I cannot allow anything to happen before I take revenge. I know that you have been in the army and have connections in this area. Can you send me in to be a military doctor? I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

Weng Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't easily reveal her relationship with Yang Shuo, but just reminded him, "Most of the wounded soldiers in the army have external injuries. Even if you have a disease, there is no medicine for you. It doesn't seem to help you improve your medical skills. Moreover, you are in the military camp at such a young age, and you can only be at the mercy of others."

It's not that he hasn't thought about this. Li Hong bit his lip. He didn't want to stay in the temple anymore, but the world was so big. Not only would no one believe him as a teenager practicing medicine outside, he couldn't afford the risk of being exposed.

The army is not a good place to be, but it is safe.

"I have a manor in Qingyuan, Mobei. You can live there for two years. There are many special medicinal herbs in the north. You can go there to explore. If you want to help the army occasionally, I can also introduce you."

His hometown is in the southwestern border. If he went to Mobei, he wouldn't have to worry about being recognized.

"Thank you, I am willing to go to Mobei, but I don't want to be a slave. In the future, I will repay you with my medical skills, okay?" The young man stood up and knelt in front of Weng Xiaoxiao, his eyes alert. Favors must be repaid, but he didn't want to be controlled by others all his life.

He is clear about gratitude and resentment, and Weng Xiaoxiao really admires such a strong-willed young man.

"I don't want to need you any more, but people who eat all kinds of grains will inevitably get sick." Weng Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, "You need to apply for a travel permit when you go out, so you can register your household registration with me. I will recognize you as my brother, and you will still be free, okay?"

Li Hong was so excited that he couldn't speak and knelt down again.
