Farming and reading family

It was true that Gao E felt awkward.

Tao Meiyun didn't want He Tangchun to take a concubine, but she still urged him to do so. This was her responsibility and magnanimity as the legal wife.

He Tangchun no longer had any temper towards Tao. At his age, he needed a good wife to help him at home.

However, he did not answer the question directly: "Since you have come to Hexian, you can stay for a while. I will write to my parents to let them know."

Tao Meiyun was secretly delighted, but refused on the surface: "We shouldn't travel far away when our parents are still alive. My parents are old. If both of us were to travel abroad, I'm afraid people would say we were unfilial."

He Tangchun thought of Gao E's treatment of the Chen family elders and smiled unconsciously: "While parents are still alive, one should not travel far, and if one does travel, one must have a plan. Now that I am serving the court, it is an honor for my parents. How can I be said to be unfilial?"

When Tao Meiyu heard her husband say this, she suddenly thought of Gao, who was also so self-righteous.

In the past, as long as she didn’t overstep the boundaries, her husband would generally approve of whatever she said.

Things are a little different now.

"Okay." Tao Meiyu nodded.

Returning to her residence, Tao Meiyu looked at her big feet.

She was the only girl in the family who did not have bound feet, so it was difficult for her to get married. In the end, she married He Tangchun, whose family was not well-off.

Fortunately, He Tangchun worked hard to get into official career, so she felt more confident when she returned to her parents' home.

She couldn't remember how painful it was to have her feet bound. She only remembered that she had a fever and was delirious, and almost lost her life. Her grandmother just said that she was unlucky and that was it.

Because of her big feet, her sisters at home often teased her, so she had to listen more to the female teacher and learn better.

Even if she marries into the He family when she grows up, she will feel that it is her blessing and she must keep it well.

Slowly... she became like this.

"Madam?" Sheng'er brought in the medicine and saw Madam staring at her feet in a daze. "It's time to take the medicine."

Tao Meiyu frowned when she heard about taking medicine. This medicine was requested by her mother-in-law, who said it could help her have children and asked her to drink it as long as she was with her husband.

"You said Gao'e gave birth to five sons?" Tao Meiyu gestured to Sheng'er to put the medicine aside.

Sheng'er nodded excitedly: "I heard that, but I didn't see it today."

Tao Meiyun looked at the medicine on the table and said, "I heard from the old people that being with a woman who is easy to get pregnant can help you get pregnant."

"That's what I said." Sheng'er and his wife had been worrying about this matter for a long time. "The woman wants to..."

Tao Meiyu tilted her head and thought seriously, she still had to have a son.

"Madam, please drink the medicine first." Sheng'er reminded, "It will get cold soon."

"Has Gao E taken the medicine?" Taowuwei asked suddenly.

This question stumped Sheng'er, and she shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

"Forget it, I won't drink it either." Tao Meiyun thought Sheng'er shook her head to mean that Gao'e had never drunk it. "Go prepare some toys for the children, and we'll go again tomorrow."

She was rude today. If Gao E hadn't helped her, she would have been in a very embarrassing situation.

Sheng'er thought that the Madam had come to Gao to accuse her of a crime, so why was she now trying to make peace with him? "Should I tell the Master about this?"

"I'll tell you later." Tao Meiyu thought about how her husband liked to eat such spicy food, so how could he eat such light meals when they were together before?

But eating light food is good for your health.

He Tangchun didn't object when his wife said she wanted to go see Gao E: "You don't know anyone in Hehe County, so it would be nice to have someone to chat with."

Tao Meiyun nodded: "Thank you for your consideration, sir."

He Tangchun originally wanted to say that Gao E's personality was completely different from Tao Meiyu's, so there should be nothing to say.

But then I thought that Gao E seemed to be able to talk to anyone, and besides, I stopped Tao from going, as if I had something to hide.

In the evening, Zheng Fengan came to the Chen family and asked about Mrs. He's visit. After all, she was the wife of a local official, and they would be hard to explain if something happened.

Zheng Fengan was relieved only when Gao E said she came to learn how to make kimchi.

"Why did you lie to them?" Lu Qingluo felt that Gao E didn't need to bear this matter alone.

"Then how should I tell them?" Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo.

Lu Qingluo was stunned by the question. She had never experienced such a thing.

"Should I tell them that Madam He suspected that Lord He and I had an affair and that's why she came here to accuse me?" Gao E spread her hands.

Lu Qingluo looked at Gao E and thought that no one would believe her if she said that.

Even if Gao E is good-looking, she is the mother of five children. Even if He Tangchun is blind, he would not fall in love with Gao E.

"So... there was nothing to worry about in the first place, so why make things more complicated?" Gao E ignored Lu Qingluo's gaze.

Lu Qingluo thought about it and agreed.

"Besides, Madam He didn't do anything. She was just demonstrating and observing. If she was really the kind of person who bullies others by taking advantage of her power, she wouldn't have brought just a few maids and servants today, but a group of ferocious guards." Gao E analyzed.

Gao E felt that this was unnecessary, and in fact she didn't understand these things.

After listening to Gao E's analysis, Lu Qingluo lay on his bed without saying a word.

Gao E didn't say anything else.

Although I was a little nervous at the time, it’s a bit funny now.

In the morning, the Chen family had breakfast and went out. Now Yang didn't insist on taking Yu Ning out, so Yu Ning stayed at home to embroider her dowry.

When Lu Qingluo had nothing to do, she would watch Luo Qing'er and Lu Qingluo embroider the dowry, but after a while she found it boring because these girls just thought about getting married every day.

Zheng Xiaoshun hid secretly at the door. When he saw Gao E saw him, he hurriedly waved to Gao E to go out.

Gao E turned her head and saw that Lu Qingluo had also seen it, so she stood up and went over.

"What's the matter?" Gao E looked at Zheng Xiaoshun's sneaky look.

"Someone in our village is willing to sell me the sloping land." Zheng Xiaoshun was happy. "I said I'll borrow money from my second sister-in-law."

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why he suddenly had money to buy land.

"Okay." Gao E nodded. "How much did you buy?"

"Thirty acres." Zheng Xiaoshun never thought that he would have so much land, even though it was a sloping land.

These thirty acres of sloping land cost him one hundred taels of silver, a huge sum of money.

"Have you opened it yet?" Gao E thought Zheng Xiaoshun was quite courageous.

"Now that the fields are open, maybe we can plant some rapeseed in the fall." Zheng Xiaoshun said with a smile.

Planting rapeseed does not require much manpower, just sow the seeds and then hire a few people to harvest them.

Gao E thought she could plant some rapeseed on her land first: "Okay, I understand."

Zheng Xiaoshun wanted to look into the yard but held back: "Is Qing'er doing well lately?"

Luo Dagang has been away recently, and Zheng Xiaoshun has not come to see him secretly, so he is quite open and honest.

"What's wrong with being in my house?" Gao E felt that Zheng Xiaoshun was quite patient. "You and Luo Dagang are quite familiar with each other, but you dare not say this."

After all, the two of them worked together to accomplish a great thing for Gao E, so they also had a common secret.

"This is not about whether Brother Luo and I are familiar with each other or not." Zheng Xiaoshun said a little depressed.
