Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Mr. Wang, then, did Fang Hai marry someone else in the capital?"

Wang Dongchang stroked his beard and smiled, "As far as I know, Lord Lu still lives in the palace and has not set up any property outside."

"Then, then does he have a mistress? Even the maids in the capital may be more charming than a yellow-faced woman like me. I, I..."

Du Wenxiu couldn't say a few words before she started crying again. Wang Dongchang couldn't sit still, so he comforted her with a few words and then hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

"Sister, what does he mean?" Du Wenchan was puzzled. Seeing Du Wenxiu wiping away the tears from her cheek, she walked up to her and asked her.

Du Wenxiu looked at A Luo closing the door, then sneered and said softly:

"I just came to find out how much I know about the capital and to confirm whether I have any intention of escaping."

"Escape?" Du Wenchan didn't know that the capital city had not been settled down until now because of the change of emperor.

Du Wenxiu didn't want to say more, so he changed the subject and talked about Qiao'er's daughter.

Du Wenxiu was pregnant and couldn't hold the baby, but Du Wenchan held the baby for a long time and refused to let go.

"Such a small ball, pink and tender, is so rare."

Du Wenchan talked to her in high spirits, gesticulating and dancing, while she listened quietly with a curved lip corner.

Qiao'er went with the Fan family. The new county magistrate was a serious man. Everyone said he was honest and upright, and was a decent official.

As the relative of the former county magistrate, Du Wenxiu now only hated the fact that she was a girl and was pregnant.

Otherwise, as the owner of Wenyuefang, to make a living in Dongxing County, wouldn't you have to first find out the preferences and bottom line of the local officials?

Forget it, whether it is a blessing or a curse, I will just take it on myself.

However, for many days in a row, in addition to hearing that the new county magistrate was looking for some old cases to sort out, he also checked the money and grain account books and met with the county magistrate Wang Dongchang.

I haven't heard of any other actions.

Du Wenxiu gradually felt relieved and only asked Du Wenchan to pay the taxes in full and not to get caught.

Du Wenxiu was feeling sleepy during the spring and in a trance, she thought of the watermelon and bean curd that she had been craving for.

Summer is coming, so watermelons should be on the market soon, right?

The fermented soybeans made in the workshops today always seem to be missing something.

Thinking about the salty and delicious watermelon bean sauce made at home, Du Wenxiu drooled in his dreams.

Later, he made his way in a big city. Every time he went home, he would call her and ask her to send money home and if there was anything she wanted.

She said she wanted to eat the watermelon bean sauce made by her grandma or mom, but her family always felt embarrassed to tell her: it's too far away, and it would go bad if sent over.

After saying it a few times, when I asked her again, she said she didn't want anything.

She just can’t forget the taste of her childhood, which has come to this season with her modern soul.

She also wants to eat watermelon pickled beans.

Especially.

Unable to bear it any longer, he asked Du Wenchan to prepare a carriage and go to Shihe Town.

"Oh my ancestor, you might be pregnant any day, why are you running around?"

A'Luo was anxious and unwilling, but Du Wenxiu just felt that she wanted to eat so much that she wanted to cry.

He was too embarrassed to tell A'Luo that he was craving for watermelon and pickled beans.

The two men were in a stalemate for a while, and Du Wenxiu had to give up.

Du Wenchan quietly asked her the reason, and she said softly: "Riyue Niang once said that the shopkeeper of Hui'an Tower knew the man selling watermelons."

"In that case, my sister is not feeling well, so I will just go there. Why should I make my aunt worry about this?"

Du Wenchan found out the location of Hui'an Tower and decided to go there in person.

Du Wenxiu hesitated: "The owner of Hui'anlou will definitely not recognize you. If you ask rashly, I'm afraid you won't be able to find out."

Du Wenchan burst out laughing and said:

"How do you think I'm asking? Am I going to ask your shopkeeper if he knows the Western merchant who sells watermelons? You really underestimate me, sister."

"Now I am under the guidance of my elder sister and sister Yue Niang. How do they say it? I make rapid progress. You can rest assured, elder sister."

Du Wenxiu changed her mind and realized that although Du Wenchan had not yet married due to mourning, she always treated her like a child.

But her age is not considered young nowadays.

If it weren't for family matters, women of the same age would have several children to raise.

I was indeed thinking wrongly. Young birds also need to fly outside to grow up.

In this case, he agreed to Du Wenchan's request, called a car from the workshop, and found someone he knew to drive her there.

A Luo was worried and kept nagging her at the door, but this only made her more impatient.

Du Wenxiu pulled A Luo back with a smile, and said jokingly: "If Auntie is worried, you might as well go with her, it will be more useful."

"Oh, that won't work. How can I be at ease leaving you alone at home?"

A Luo took it seriously and said this.

Du Wenxiu laughed and said, "My aunt is worried about my sister, and she is worried about me. It seems that she needs to find a way to split it in half to be satisfied."

A'Luo scolded her that she was almost a mother but still didn't behave properly.

When he turned around, Du Wenchan's carriage had gone far away. He knew that the two of them interrupted him because they were afraid that he would worry.

It will all pass in a mess.

It’s just that every day that Du Wenchan was gone, A Luo would be worried for a day.

While doing something, he would go to the street in front of his door from time to time to take a look, and his face was full of worry.

Du Wenxiu tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail, so he just let it go and ignored him.

It is said that a mother will worry about her child when he travels a thousand miles away, but a mother will not worry about her child when he travels a thousand miles away.

It can be seen that the ancients were not deceiving me. They were all summed up great principles.

Fortunately, Du Wenchan came back in the afternoon. A Luo saw her from afar and hurried to meet her.

He asked her all sorts of questions, until she became impatient.

Before he reached home, he jumped off the carriage and ran back.

She didn't respond when A Luo called her from behind, and she felt that A Luo was too nagging.

"Sister, I went to find the shopkeeper of Hui'an Tower and told him that I was the sister of Madam Du of Wenyuefang and that I had something confidential to ask him."

"The shopkeeper was very kind. He told me about the Western Region merchant he met last year, but he didn't come this year."

"Perhaps they know that the court here is unstable and dare not come."

Du Wenchan must have been thirsty for a long time, so she came back, picked up the scoop of cold well water and poured it into her mouth.

She drank it all in one gulp and felt relaxed all over. However, she was seen by A'luo who followed her. He came forward, snatched the water scoop from her hand, and kept scolding her.

Du Wenchan ignored her and went around to Du Wenxiu to talk to her about what happened today.

When Du Wenxiu heard this, he had an idea in mind and said to her, "Thank you for your hard work today. Go back to your room and have a good rest."

"Sister, do you think I did a good job today?" Du Wenchan proudly asked her sister for credit.

Du Wenxiu was about to say a few words to her perfunctorily, but then he realized that if he kept treating her like a child, how could she grow up?

Moreover, Du Wenchan's analysis of the matter at first was also very logical.

How can I look at her with my own fixed perspective and hinder her growth?

So, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you with your hard work today. You did a good job, but it's not as good as I expected."
