Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Hua Murong didn't expect that he would actually suggest that she go to another place to be a local official. She was not annoyed, but just puzzled: "Why?"

"It is very difficult to rise in the capital where officials are everywhere, but if you are sent out, as long as you achieve certain political achievements, you will be promoted. At the same time, it will also allow the emperor and court officials to more clearly and intuitively see your ability.

For example, Chen, the magistrate of our county, has been the magistrate for more than ten years, but he has no remarkable political achievements either in this place or elsewhere. In addition, his superiors have always made things difficult for him, making it difficult for him to make a name for himself.

This time, because we discovered and planted sweet potatoes, and he was responsible for promoting them, the grain output increased significantly. He is bound to be able to move up in this year's assessment.

If big brother has connections, he can apply to be the magistrate of our Guyang County after County Magistrate Chen leaves. My wife and I know about other things besides these grains, so it's no problem for us to help big brother accumulate political achievements.

Of course, if Big Brother is unable to serve in Guyang County, we can provide the seeds to Big Brother and have him arrange for the villagers to plant them, which will also earn us political achievements. It’s just that we selfishly hope that Big Brother can be closer to us.”

After listening to Xin Ye's words, the brother and sister's eyes became brighter and brighter, especially Hua Murong, whose eyes were shining with a gleam like the brilliance after the clouds and mist have been cleared away.

“Hahahahaha…” Hua Murong rarely laughed so heartily. After laughing, he looked at Xin Ye with burning eyes, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, “Although I don’t know your identity, I appreciate your wholehearted advice to me. What’s more important is your love and care for Yi’er. I accept you as my brother-in-law.”

Xin Ye was stunned for a moment, then also burst into laughter.

In fact, his original intention was to trick his elder brother-in-law into coming over to act as a protective umbrella. Even though County Magistrate Chen was on good terms with them, he was not someone they could fully trust. It was not that he had bad character, but it was not impossible that if someone used County Magistrate Chen's family to threaten him to do something to hurt them.

If the magistrate of Guyang County was this brother-in-law, who is one of us, there would be no need to worry about such a thing happening to him.

Moreover, with the help of the brother-in-law to cover up, if the wife does something famous, there will be someone to help take responsibility. If she succeeds, the credit earned can be used for her own people, so it is not a loss at all.

I never expected that I would get the recognition of my brother-in-law by chance. It is such a pleasant surprise!

"In that case, why don't you stay in Dashan Village for the time being?" Xin Ye suggested, "Experience the life of the country folks, follow the agricultural officials and see how they serve the people, learn a thing or two, and when County Magistrate Chen comes to the countryside occasionally, you can also talk to him and ask him for advice on anything you don't understand.

No matter what happens in the future, at least County Magistrate Chen is on the same page with us now. If this relationship can last a little longer, when Big Brother makes his mark in the court, he might be able to get his support and help."

Hua Murong, who had originally planned to stay for about a month, listened to Xin Ye's suggestion and thought seriously. She thought her brother-in-law's suggestion was good and this opportunity was indeed rare.

As for the affairs at hand, the old father in the family is not too old to do the work. For the future of his son and the prosperity of the family, he should be happy to take over the affairs.

As for Yi'er...she's already married. Unless Dad moves the Hua family here, or persuades Yi'er to move back to Shacheng with her in-laws, it would be risky to let Yi'er take over the affairs. It would be better to hope to raise another little one!

Come to think of it, my sister and brother-in-law have been married for more than a year, why is there still no news?

Could it be that my sister’s physical condition was damaged when she lost her memory?

"Yier, you and your brother-in-law have been married for more than a year, but you're still not pregnant. Are you two healthy?" Hua Murong, who was determined to give birth to a little boy to be his father's heir, was not shy at all when she urged the couple to have a baby.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ye, one of the parties involved, suddenly turned red in the ears.

Yan Yiyi didn’t feel much, but she didn’t expect that the first person who urged her to have a baby would be this big brother who looked so kind and cheerful?

"I'm still young, so I don't plan to have children for now. If I want to have children, I'll have to be at least 20 years old."

"What!?" Hua Murong was shocked.

Xin Ye, who had already learned basic knowledge about fertility through TV dramas, was not surprised at all. Moreover, he and his wife had not planned to have a child so soon at the beginning.

Ever since I learned Yan Yiyi's real age from Hua Murong, I have become more certain about having another child a few years later.

"Brother, if a woman gives birth too early it will not only harm the child, but it will do even greater harm to the woman," Yan Yiyi explained.

"How does this work? My mother gave birth to me when she was sixteen, and I was healthy. She also gave birth to my second and third brothers later, and they are doing fine now."

"That's because you're lucky." Yan Yiyi sighed helplessly, "Of course it's not absolute, it's just a matter of probability. Women who marry and have children early are more likely to have difficult labors, and their children are more likely to die young or be weak.

In order to reduce the probability of this happening, my husband and I have reached a consensus to have children a few years later."

Hua Murong suddenly remembered that when she was a child, when she disobeyed her mother, her father always wanted to beat her to death and always said, "Your mother went through the gates of hell to give birth to you, and this is how you treat her."

Thinking of her sister's superb medical skills, Hua Murong stopped talking and blamed herself for being too ignorant.

Hua Murong let out a long breath and said, "It's okay to give birth later. The safety of Yi'er and my nephew is the most important thing."

In order to avoid continuing this embarrassing topic, Hua Murong walked forward and went straight to the pepper field. She looked at a field of thumb-sized peppers, some green and some red, but relatively fewer red ones.

"Yi'er, when do you plan to pick the peppers?"

"You can pick them now. Aye said that we need chili peppers to make boiled fish fillets tonight."

It sounded delicious, and Hua Murong couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "Do you need a lot? How about we pick some first?"

Yan Yiyi: "Not many, let's go back to the vegetable garden and pick them. We need to wait a little longer here. We need to wait until more peppers are ripe before we can pick them."

"Vegetable garden?" Hua Murong looked puzzled, as if this was probably a vegetable garden.

"There is a back door behind the room we live in, and behind the door is a vegetable garden." Xin Ye explained, "Let's go return the carriage first, and when we come back we can cook.

Besides, if those adults want to study the seeds we brought back and ask questions all the time, we will have to light a lamp to cook dinner tonight, which is not very convenient. It is better to go early and come back early. "

Xin Ye did not say that with more than a dozen mouths to feed in the family, it would take more time to cook, so as to avoid his eldest brother asking them to cook themselves. Anyway, for him, it was just cooking for a dozen people, which was not a big problem. If there were more people, he would just give up.
