The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

After a few days of hard work, I finally prepared all the food I needed.

Zhou Yue packed all his things and loaded them onto the donkey cart.

When he returned to the county town, Zhou Yue immediately went to find the people from Zheng's pharmacy and handed them all the replies, food, shoes, clothes and other things.

Now I hope Yuan Mo can have a better life in the military camp.

Zhou Yue soon put the matter out of his mind because the busiest time before the New Year had arrived.

Ning Yuanshan said that this period was really busy, the guys were extremely busy and the boss was so amused counting money.

For this purpose, Zhou Yue and Qing Mo prepared a lot of goods.

The scattered handicraft workshops in the village have now grown into a large scale.

Clothes and shoes are made almost day and night.

The same is true for winemaking. In order to meet everyone's needs, even customers don't mind if the wine is newly brewed.

Even some woodworking toys and daily necessities made by Qing Mo and Grandpa Ning, which did not sell well before, are almost sold out.

Old Man Ning was so happy that he would light a lamp and saw wood in the yard at night.

The guys in the shop are even happier, as they get a lot of commissions.

Qing Mo made a rough calculation and concluded that if the goods were sold in this way, the shareholders would be able to recover their capital soon, and it would be pure profit in the future.

Everyone was very happy, except Chunniang, who was very busy and looked tired every day.

While the child was being clingy, Chunniang wanted to be strong and wanted to contribute to the family business.

But the child's father was not at home and there was no one to help at night, so how could she take care of everything?

Zhou Yue has always said that he wants to hire a nanny to help her take care of the child, but Chunniang has always disagreed.

Chunniang is in charge of all the accounts in the household.

Chunniang is also responsible for the monthly inventory and reporting.

Qian could have helped Chunniang take care of the children, but she had a lot of things to do. Qian was in charge of quality inspection and ensuring the quality of the production of the garment workshop and handicraft workshop.

Qian and Chunniang were responsible for comparing and counting the orders and deliveries, and they were so busy every day that they were exhausted.

It seemed that they were so tired that Chunniang sometimes even fell asleep while standing.

Finally, Zhou Yue took the lead and forcefully invited a kind-hearted old lady from the village to live in his house and help Chunniang take care of the child.

Chunniang felt much more relaxed now. She took over many household chores, which also lightened Qian's burden.

If you have money, you should spend it.

Zhao Shouzhong came again that day.

He brought letters from his father, mother and concubine.

Princess Ning agreed with her son's proposal and in her letter she tried her best to invite Zhou Yue to develop in Beijing.

Zhou Yue considered it over and over again, wrote a reply, and took some of each kind of newly made incense and took it back to Zhao Shouzhong.

Zhao Shouzhong completed the task, but was in no hurry to leave.

He wanted to spend the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in Yi County, which is the Little New Year for people in the north.

Normally, we should go home and reunite with our families on this day.

But he said that he had many children in his family and they didn't need him.

As for the Ning family, his eldest brother is not at home, so he wants to temporarily take his eldest brother's place and spend the New Year with the Ning family.

There was a rumor a few years ago that the sage would issue an edict to appoint Master Cui as the magistrate of Yi County after the new year.

Normally, the former prime minister should not have been demoted to this extent, but Master Cui has been hiding and refused to return to the capital.

The sage had no choice but to settle for the next best option and temporarily appointed him as the county magistrate.

Since he likes this place, he can work here and protect the people here for Dahui.

As for Master Cui's refusal to show up, it is still unknown how the saint can deliver the imperial edict to him.

Zhou Yue asked Zhao Shouzhong about this rumor, and he said he didn't know.

Zhou Yue tried to find out indirectly why Master Cui had sneaked out.

Zhao Shouzhong is very tight-lipped, but Zhou Yue has lived many more years longer than him after all.

After a meal, Zhou Yue decided to trick him.

So Zhou Yue asked, "Prince, has the matter of Master Cui being impeached in the capital been resolved?"

Zhao Shouzhong stopped pouring tea and stood there in a daze.

"Auntie, no, no, you know everything?"

"Yes, this is known to everyone in the Dahui Dynasty, right?"

"Yes, has the news reached here? If you ask me, the saint did something wrong this time.

This chilled the hearts of all the old officials. "

Now that Zhou Yue knew about it, Zhao Shouzhong, who was far away from the capital, also wanted to find someone to complain to.

So, after eating and drinking, Zhao Shouzhong relaxed his guard and started talking.

“If you ask me, Prime Minister Cui really got into trouble this time.

Although the charges he was impeached with by the villain this time were very false and unfounded.

But it is still better than Han Shumishi."

Oh, any other gossip?

It's true that when you pull out a radish, you bring out some dirt. I didn't expect there would be other gains.

Zhou Yue took the teapot from Zhao Shouzhong and brewed tea while motioning Zhao Shouzhong to continue.

Zhao Shouzhong said: "Aunt, you said that the crime that Prime Minister Cui was impeached for was that he refused to dismount at the palace gate.

Our dynasty has never stipulated that officials must dismount at the palace gate. This rule is a continuation of the old system of the previous dynasty.

Everyone complied.

However, the emperor sympathized with Prime Minister Cui, who was old and frail, and had a heavy workload, so he traveled between Mingzheng Hall and Zhengshi Hall many times a day.

Although there was no explicit decree, it was generally accepted that Cui Xiang was able to ride a horse to Mingzheng Hall.

Otherwise, given the intensity and frequency of his walking, he might die of exhaustion on the way one day.

"It is indeed a bit inappropriate for a minister to ride a horse in the palace. Did Prime Minister Cui ride his horse at full speed on the road and hit a palace maid?"

"No, at most ministers, guards and minor eunuchs traveled along that road.

It is not a harem, so there are no concubines or even maids in the palace.

"Oh, who reported him?"

This matter has been done in the past few years, and the prime minister of the late emperor did the same.

If no one reports it, how can the saint know?

"It was a eunuch beside the Queen Mother. He passed by that road carrying the Queen Mother's things.

Then he said that the prime minister should not let the horse gallop in the palace and he was about to step forward to stop it.

It was the groom's duty not to let him get close, so he tried to stop him.

The eunuch knocked over what he was holding, and lying on the ground, he insisted that Prime Minister Cui's groom had beaten him and also broken the Queen Mother's favorite things.

"Oh, is the groom called Cui Da?"

"Yes, how come you have seen him?"

"Oh, no, I just heard a rumor that Prime Minister Cui has a groom who is very skilled in martial arts."

"Yes, that Cui Da is Cui Xiang's personal bodyguard, who usually leads his horse.

It is said that he is a master, but basically no one has ever seen him take action.

I heard that everyone who saw him take action died, except for the eunuch.

"I didn't expect him to be so powerful."

"Of course. How can someone who has always been by Cui Xiang's side be bad?"

It seems that Zhao Shouzhong admires Cui Xiang very much, and his tone is always protective of him.

There was some bias in what he said.

"How can you punish the prime minister of the dynasty with just this one small matter?"
