Good luck every time

Li Ruyi glanced at Li Jixiang and keenly noticed that she was in a bad mood.

After all, they have been sisters for many years, and Li Ruyi has seen everything about her elder sister's temper and changes.

She nodded.

"Okay, I get it! But I have other plans for the future. As for my eldest sister's marriage, we still have to discuss it among ourselves. Auntie, do you want to exchange for food? If not, you can go back. If we think it's a good idea, I will come to discuss it with you in person. What do you think?"

Aunt Zhang was very panicked.

I always feel that Li Ruyi coming to my house in person may not be a good thing.

However, having said that, she really had no good excuse to stay.

He nodded in agreement.

"Okay...then you guys take your time to discuss it. There's no rush."

After saying that, she recalled her nephew and felt that she could not find any major flaws in him, so she left the Li family.

As soon as she left, Li Ruyi walked to Li Jixiang and helped her finish the work quickly. He asked the Li children to guard the door, and if someone came, he would say that there was something going on at home and asked them to come back in the afternoon.

You won’t die of hunger if you skip a meal.

Li Ruyi sat down on the kang only after everyone had left.

Over the years, she had talked a lot with the third sister, but she had never thought about the future of her eldest sister.

After all, the eldest sister has her own life and she is not in a hurry, so why should Li Ruyi urge her?

Li Jixiang sat there looking a little lazy.

The feeling of uneasiness as if she was about to get married lingered in her heart.

If you don’t find one, what will you do when you get old?

But if you find someone...

Li Jixiang couldn't help but think of Acai and the women in the village.

She panicked again.

But when asked why she was panicking, she couldn't tell.

Li Ruyi saw that she was silent, so he spoke first.

"My business may be transferred to the capital in the future, and the salt business will probably be handed over to someone I trust to continue to handle it."

"However, I can't stop now that I've reached the capital city. I may have to go to more distant places in the future."

"I never asked you whether you wanted to live like this with me or whether you wanted something more stable."

"Of course, being safe and secure doesn't mean that the matchmaker that Aunt Zhang arranged for you today is suitable."

"The man you will marry in the future must have something you like about him, otherwise life will be too long and you won't know when it will end."

Although marriage is a matter between two families.

But being isolated and helpless is also a dilemma.

The eldest sister nodded and spoke after a while.

"Ruyi, I want our family to be together forever."

Li Ruyi hesitated for a moment before she understood Li Jixiang's thoughts, and she smiled instantly.

"Big sister, this has nothing to do with us if it happens to someone else's family. This is our family, so you can do whatever you want!"

"No matter how old you are, no matter whether you have met the right person in the future, no matter what path you choose in the future, as long as you have no regrets or doubts and move forward bravely, I will support you completely."

After hearing this, Li Jixiang felt slightly relieved.

However, the blade of marriage still fell a little, and the edge seemed to have pierced her skin.

Li Ruyi reminded her.

"Don't take anything others say to heart from now on. Xiaoman and I both have our own plans. You are my eldest sister, so don't always think about whether you are a burden or not."

Li Jixiang nodded, not knowing whether he had heard it or not.

"Since you still want to follow me, I will arrange this marriage for you. I predict that you will definitely settle down in the capital within two to three years."

"During this period, if you meet someone you like and change your mind, tell me."

"If you don't meet him, you can find him in time when we get to the capital."

Only then did Li Jixiang feel a little relieved.

These two or three years finally gave her some space to escape.

It's much easier to refuse.

She brought some gifts and said that she was busy at home and couldn't leave her elder sister, so she wanted to wait until things were settled in two years.

Aunt Zhang cursed Li Ruyi in her heart, thinking that she was ruining Li Jixiang's good marriage.

But on the surface, she is still honest!

After Li Ruyi finished speaking to Aunt Zhang, he went to talk to some gossipers in the village.

Li Ruyi didn't even need to start the conversation, as someone asked her if Li Jixiang was about to get married.

As soon as Li Ruyi said this, those around him who wanted to introduce their own young men to Li Jixiang held back.

Introducing a man to Li Jixiang at this time is equivalent to competing with Li Ruyi for that person!

What good can come of this!?

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Many of them had conspiracy theories, thinking that Li Ruyi just didn't want Li Jixiang to live a good life in the future.

By the time these rumors reached Li Jixiang's ears, it was too late for her to refute them.

The more she explained, the more people said that it was Li Ruyi who forced her to do it.

The pressure of public opinion weighed on her shoulders in another way.

At this time, Li Ruyi had already gone to do other things.

Charcoal cannot be sold for long, and it is hot in the summer, so accidents can easily happen if it is not properly taken care of.

Li Ruyi had to find some other work for the villagers.

Just when she was scratching her head and thinking about what kind of job was suitable, news came from the county that the granaries were going to be opened to release grain.

This time the granaries were opened and grain was released much earlier than Li Ruyi remembered.

The imperial court had not taken the disaster here seriously before, and it was not until the end of spring or the beginning of summer of the following year that the approval was given.

It’s not like today, the New Year hasn’t even arrived yet!

It goes without saying what role Han Shian played in this.

However, Li Ruyi also has other concerns.

Putting food away too early may not necessarily produce good results.

Although it increased the chances of survival for many people, the amount of food released was not much, and it was impossible to survive until the next year when food arrived. How would they survive the next period?

Li Ruyi didn't know how to govern a city.

She can only start from her shallow understanding of the world and think about more problems.

There is a huge food gap. What should we do next?

She couldn't think of it.

But Han Shian had a charter.

The most appropriate way is to regulate food prices.

As long as the warehouse is opened, and as long as there is as much grain in it as Han Shian remembers, he will be able to control the price of grain for a period of time.

The county magistrate now has some trust in him.

Han Shian is young, but calm and experienced, and not pedantic. He would not advise him nonsense for no reason, and would help him get more money back.

To Han Shian, those were the scraps saved with great difficulty, but to the county magistrate who had no plan for governance, these were the best way to make money without disturbing the rabbits.

However, Han Shian is a low-key person and did not attract much attention.

Let the county magistrate take care of both the good and bad reputation so that it will not affect his imperial examinations in the future.

When the news of opening the granary and releasing grain spread, the people of Sanjia Village were in an uproar again.

It seemed that the days when Li Ruyi was suppressing them were coming to an end.

Some people even jumped in front of Li Ruyi.
