The Legend of the Farm Girl

By the time Yunfang's child, Li Weiheng, was one month old, the caravan, which had been on the road for more than two months, still hadn't sent back any news.

The entire Liangzhou city seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud. Although no one knew where the two hundred people had gone, everyone knew that the Yun's Trading Company had not been open for two months.

Yunfang was also a little anxious. She had studied many travel notes and combined with the knowledge she had learned, she deduced that the country producing alfalfa should be only 20 days away from Liangzhou. How could it take two months to go back and forth?

But now there was no news about the 200 people, and Yunfang felt a little worried.

On the day of the baby's full month, Li Muwen and Yunfang decided to have a big feast. Spring ploughing was about to begin, and this year the wheat seeds would still be soaked in the juice of Oxalis.

The two knew that last year the families from the three counties must have been watching them, and seeing that they did have a good harvest, they would definitely use Oxalis to soak the wheat seeds this year.

But they certainly didn't know how to soak it specifically, so Li Muwen decided to tell them at the banquet, but he had to make an agreement with them that they could not monopolize the Oxalis juice, and that the people in several counties and the prefectural capital could all get a share of the Oxalis juice.

Li Muwen sent invitations to the county magistrates of the three counties and the leaders of the families.

These people came as promised, and Li Muwen's prestige in Liangzhou City is very high now. It is not the time when they can ignore it when they first arrived in Liangzhou.

Some people may regret not setting some difficulties for Li Muwen when he first arrived in Liangzhou. Some people also regret not currying favor with him at the beginning, and it may be too late to curry favor with him now.

But they didn't show it on their faces and came to attend Li Weiheng's full moon banquet happily.

Li Muwen received male guests in the front hall, while Yunfang and his mother received female guests in the backyard.

Li Muwen's work in the front hall was progressing smoothly. He reached a unanimous agreement with the heads of various families and the county magistrates. Everyone would not compete for Oxalis, and everyone would popularize Oxalis throughout the region.

Yunfang in the backyard was experiencing a scene she had never experienced before.

The wives of the Song, Zhou and Tang families from the three counties brought a girl who had just come of age.

When the banquet started, the three girls sat next to the three ladies respectively, and Yunfang did not pay much attention to them.

But I don't know which lady said, "Madam, you are kind, but there are really not enough servants in this mansion."

Yunfang didn't know what to say.

The three ladies from the Song, Zhou and Tang families started talking to each other.

"Madam, this is my youngest daughter, Song Qianru."

"Madam, this is my daughter, Zhou Yiran."

"Madam, this is my girl, Tang Sijia."

"Madam, do you think the girls from our three families would be lucky enough to come to the prefectural government to serve you, my Lord and Madam?"

Yunfang immediately understood the intention of the three ladies. They wanted to send these three girls to Li Muwen as concubines.

If she followed her heart, Yun Fang would definitely refuse. With the birth of their child, the relationship between her and Li Muwen became even deeper.

However, if he rashly rejected the proposals of these three parties, that means he did not accept the goodwill of the three parties, then it might be more difficult for Li Muwen to take back the management rights of the three counties.

Just when Yunfang was at a loss for words, her mother said bluntly, "How can these beautiful girls be servants? Besides, the people around my daughter have sold their bodies to serve. I really don't feel comfortable leaving them with my daughter and my grandson!"

After hearing Yun Fangniang's answer, the third lady didn't know whether he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. She was embarrassed and didn't continue to speak. She only thought about the next countermeasure in her mind.

This also gave Yunfang time to go to the front hall to ask Li Muwen what to do about this matter.

Yunfang sent Han Jingxin to the front hall and found an opportunity to tell Li Muwen about this matter.

Li Muwen thought for a while, and said to Han Jingxin: "Go back and tell Yunfang to just reject this matter. Don't let the daughters of the three families enter the mansion."

After getting a positive answer, Han Jingxin immediately went back to tell Yunfang, and Yunfang felt relieved after hearing it.

No matter how the three ladies raised this issue indirectly, Yunfang refused to respond. Due to the women's dignity, they could not say it directly, and they wanted to send the daughters of the three families to Li Muwen as concubines.

When the banquet was over, the three ladies left with their daughters in a huff. It was obvious that they were going to complain to their master.

When she saw Li Muwen, Yun Fang asked him worriedly, "Will refusing the three ladies' decision to send their daughters to the mansion today offend the people of those three families?"

Li Muwen shook his head slowly and said, "They want to send their daughters to my mansion to be my concubines, just because they are afraid that I will really take power in the future and deprive them of their rights to bully others in the county. But if I can really take charge of the entire Liangzhou, how can I allow them to continue to bully others? I am confident that I will be able to take charge of the entire Liangzhou one day, so I will not let those three girls enter the mansion to influence my future decisions."

Yunfang stared at Li Muwen in a daze. She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was a little strange.

He thought that Li Muwen took his feelings into consideration and refused to let the three girls enter his house because he could not accept any woman other than himself.

But from Li Muwen's words, she didn't hear any such considerations at all.

Today, these three families wanted to send three girls to restrain Li Muwen, but Li Muwen refused them. What if tomorrow they just wanted to show goodwill? What if other officials sent girls to restrain Li Muwen? Can Li Muwen refuse them as concubines?

With this in mind, Yunfang stared at Li Muwen, but Li Muwen had drunk a lot of wine at the banquet and was a little tired, so he didn't notice. Yunfang looked at him with a meaningful look and soon fell asleep.

Yunfang looked at Li Muwen who had fallen asleep. She went to the child's room. Han Jingxin was accompanying Yunfang's mother to take care of Li Weiheng.

After Yunfang fed the child, she asked Yunfang's mother to take care of the child, and she called Han Jingxin out.

Han Jingxin looked at Yunfang's worried face and asked, "Madam must be thinking about the three girls today!"

Yunfang nodded and asked, "Jingxin, you have come into contact with more officials and their families than I have. Tell me, are there any officials who never take concubines?"

Han Jingxin thought for a moment and then replied, "Of course there are officials who never take concubines, but they all marry noble ladies. Madam, you have to be open-minded. I know you have a very good relationship with the Lord, but there are some things that we women cannot decide."
