A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

"Considering your young age and your first offense," Huang Mulin paused, "give him twenty strokes of the cane as a warning to others."

For a girl who was only eleven and a half years old, this punishment was indeed severe.

If she wasn't careful, it would cost her her life.

But compared to throwing the child into jail, this is a much reduced sentence.

"Are you convinced?"

Huang Chunxi nodded palely. This punishment was much better than going to jail.

The crying of a child soon rang out among the crowd.

Many of the onlookers showed expressions of pity.

Huang Mulin sighed, this is human nature.

After the punishment, Huang Mulin asked An Ning to find a carriage to send Huang Chunxi back to Xiushan Village, together with Roland and Huang Ming. Her injuries were very serious and she needed Yan Bufan to treat her as soon as possible, so her family members had to be present.

"Everyone, disperse."

Jiang Guodong saw that the matter was resolved and spoke.

The crowd slowly dispersed, and Jiang Guodong said to Huang Mulin: "I hope County Lord Huang will not blame me for interfering in the affairs of Qiling County."

"No, I also want to thank the Governor for his great help."

If it weren't for Jiang Guodong, she would not have been able to step forward on this matter, and there would not have been such a good result.

"Master Jiang, why don't you take this opportunity to go for a walk in the village with me?"

"it is good."

"please."

Huang Mulin asked An Ning to find a carriage to send Huang Dachuan and the villagers back, and she took Jiang Guodong away first.

Jiang Guodong visited the pepper fields and buffalo farms, and then followed Huang Mulin to the villa in the back mountain.

“It is planned to be completed within this year.”

Huang Mulin pointed to a more remote courtyard in the distance and said, "That is the nursing home. If Grandpa Tai Shi retires and comes here in the future, he can live there."

Jiang Guodong was surprised every time he saw it.

I had never seen such peppers, and I had never known that buffaloes could produce milk that could be drunk. There was also this complex of buildings that looked like a palace.

He vaguely understood the emperor's intention.

Huang Mulin is a rare person, but unfortunately, in a sense, he cannot be won over.

Jiang Guodong returned to Beijing with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Huang Mulin didn't care to tell him this. The emperor had already sent people to keep an eye on him anyway, and it was just a matter of making it more obvious.

"Mother, how are you feeling lately?"

She helped Yang Lijun stroll in the yard.

At this time, the advantage of a large courtyard can be reflected. You don’t have to go out for walking and exercising, which is especially suitable for Yang Lijun who wants to hide from outsiders.

"Except for being a little sleepy, there isn't much reaction."

After becoming pregnant, Yang Lijun became much gentler.

"That's good. The child will have less trouble."

"Yes, I heard from Hui Niang that it was very difficult when she was pregnant with your brothers, especially the fourth one. She vomited for half a year and almost lost half her life."

"Hehe, I'm a very good boy."

"Look at you."

"Hee hee~"

Yang Hui and several elders were huddled together playing chess. Looking at them, he felt that this was the kind of seclusion they were pursuing.

Yu Zhenzhou wrote her a letter almost every few days, mostly expressing his concern for her health, which made Yang Lijun feel both sweet and annoyed. Fortunately, he was not around, otherwise she might even be disliked.

In the middle of the year, after the canal was dug and the huge waterwheel was installed, everyone was amazed at the operation of the water diverter.

This is a good thing for farming.

Of course, Huang Mulin has already sent people to various villages in Qiling County to arrange the construction of water wheels to bring water for irrigation. They can be built in any suitable place.

Her action won the favor and recognition of the grassroots people.

This is a county lord who will help and support the poor people.

He is an official who truly cares about the people.

For a time, Huang Mulin was the most popular person.

Xue Shaogui smashed a lot of things in the study, and the servants lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

In August of the same year, Huang Xilin took part in the provincial examination and passed the examination with the first place.

Xiushan Village was in a sensation again.

Huang Dachuan happily took Huang Bo to drink all night. People who didn’t know would think he was Huang Xilin’s biological grandfather.

There was an endless stream of people coming to the Huang family mansion to offer their blessings, and they were all received by Huang Bo, Huang Qilin, and Huang Haolin. Huang Mulin and the other women were all too lazy to get away.

By the end of the year, all the shops outside Nanzhenkou were completed while rushing to ensure quality, and even the boats had been tested.

The villa on the back mountain is basically completed, and it is open to welcome guests as soon as He Mingliang, his apprentices and workers finish making all the home furnishing components.

In addition, the fruit seedlings she planted on two of the mountains have been cultivated and are just waiting for large-scale maturity to enter the winemaking stage.

"Suddenly, I felt like I had reached a happy ending."

Huang Mulin caressed Wuxie in his arms and murmured unconsciously.

"Hey~"

"What are you talking about?"

Yang Lijun, who was just about to come over to look for her, heard it and said, "We're just getting started. There are still so many things to do."

"You're just being lazy all day now."

He Hui Niang, who was supporting Yang Lijun, said with a smile.

"Mother."

Yang Lijun is about to give birth, and the atmosphere in the family has been a little tense these days, especially for Yang Hui and other elders. As this is the first time they have experienced such a thing at such an age, they are inevitably a little worried.

Huang Mulin could understand.

Even in modern times, Yang Lijun, now 38 years old, is considered an elderly mother, and the risk of childbirth is indeed relatively high, not to mention that this is an ancient era with poor medical facilities.

She had already made plans. If there were any special circumstances, she would transfer Yang Lijun to the space to give birth, even if it meant exposing the space.

Now she can bring living people into the space. One day she tested it on the sleeping He Hui Niang.

"Has your brother been bothering you these days?"

Huang Mulin's current medical skills can tell the gender of a pregnant woman's baby by feeling her pulse, but it's not 100% accurate. Only Yang Lijun used other methods to know for sure.

"Fortunately, it's been quieter these past few days, not so noisy."

When talking about the baby in her belly, Yang Lijun's face was filled with maternal radiance.

"That's good. Don't worry, mother. Doctor Yan and I have prepared the midwife and other things for the birth. Just focus on giving birth to my brother."

"I know. I believe you."

While the mother and daughter were chatting happily here, Yu Zhenzhou in the capital was getting restless.

"Sir, what are you going to do?"

Yu Zheng knew that he didn't want to miss the birth of the child, because this child should be the only chance for Yu Zhenzhou to welcome a newborn in his life.

"Just say it."

Yu Zheng nodded, it was pretty much what he guessed.

"I can't keep this secret after all, so I might as well take this opportunity to make it public, so that people won't report me in the future and suspect my intentions."

"That's right."

The next day, after the morning court session, Yu Zhenzhou privately met with Li Jingchen.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a long vacation."

"Why?"

"My wife is about to give birth, and I have to go back to Linhai Town to take care of her."

"What!?"

Li Jingchen cried out in surprise, and even Eunuch Liu beside him widened his eyes.

"Aren't you... infertile?!"
