Farming and reading family

Yang said the same thing when she was looking for a husband for Yu Ning. The key is that everyone has a different definition of good.

"That's for sure." Gao E agreed. "Then what kind of family does the sister-in-law want?"

"I just want to have a house in He County, a shop at home, and some fields outside the city, so that I don't have to worry about food and drink and I have money." Yang felt that she was very thoughtful.

"It would be best if there were more brothers in the family so that they could help each other if something went wrong. The parents should be sensible and the family members should at least be literate, if not educated." Yang said a little critically, "It would be even better if they had some connections in the government."

Gao E felt that this was referring to their family: "Sister-in-law is so thoughtful."

Yang was so pleased with her approval that she beamed, "You think so too, don't you? But your eldest brother said that as long as Hanyue is satisfied, it's all good. I don't know what that damn girl Hanyue is thinking about every day."

"Given our family's current situation, Hanyue is indeed worthy of such a family." Gao E agreed deeply.

Yang was pleased: "My second brother and his wife are prejudiced."

"But... when my husband gets admitted to high school, a family like this will definitely not be worthy of Hanyue. Wouldn't that be unfair to Hanyue?" Gao E worried.

Yang agreed. When her second brother passed the imperial examination, they would be from an official family, and ordinary people would definitely not be worthy of him.

Gao E saw Yang's serious expression and said, "So if you're looking for a partner now, at the very least, you have to find someone from a wealthy family, with excellent character and looks."

Yang frowned slightly. She had never dared to think like this before.

"Even if my husband gets promoted in the future, the gap between the two sides won't be too big." Gao E said seriously.

As she said this, Yang took it seriously and felt that it was indeed the case.

"So sister-in-law must choose carefully." Gao E reminded.

"Of course I want to choose carefully, but...will people say I'm too picky, which will be bad for Hanyue's reputation?" Yang was worried.

"Those who say our family is too picky are simply not good enough." Gao E sneered, "Why bother, sister-in-law? We won't have much to do with each other in the future anyway."

This made Yang happy.

To put it bluntly, she also wanted to pick, but was afraid of being criticized.

The two of them had a rare chance to talk to each other, and Yang left happily in the end.

Gao E smiled helplessly as she sent Yang away, but it would become more difficult for Han Yue to get married in the future.

After a few days, Zhao Jiancheng finally found out Gao E's background. No wonder the people of Baotou Village protected Gao E so much. It turned out that she was the one who saved the people of Baotou Village.

In addition to many things related to Gao E, Zhao Jiancheng felt that Gao E was difficult to deal with.

"Brother, why don't we arrest her family and see if she still dares to be so arrogant." Zhao Jianye suggested.

Although his hands were not disabled, the doctor said it would be difficult for them to return to their original state.

Zhao Jiancheng thought for a long time: "We are seeking wealth, so we should not think about it unless it is absolutely necessary."

Zhao Jianye was angry: "Then what else can we do now, brother?"

"Xu Boyan." Zhao Jiancheng looked solemn.

"Xu Boyan and the Gao family are in cahoots." Zhao Jianye said unhappily, "You definitely can't count on him."

"I didn't say I was counting on him." Zhao Jiancheng's face was gloomy. "As soon as Ye Linchuan agreed to this matter, I was arrested. Afterwards, Xu Boyan said that Chen Tao went to him to ask Gao to take care of the taxes."

"Ah, what's the problem?" Zhao Jianye didn't understand.

"That's why we missed out on the tax farming opportunities offered by the Chen and Gao families." Zhao Jiancheng couldn't figure out the connection, but this was the process.

"Brother, do you want to... deal with Xu Boyan?" Zhao Jianye was a little uncertain.

"No matter who it is, blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents." Zhao Jiancheng thought that since there was a problem with Xu Boyan, he would solve it from Xu Boyan.

As for Gao...it's up to the magistrate to decide what to do. Why should he bother with a country woman?

Zhao Jianye was excited: "Brother, do you have an idea?"

"I'm going to Qinzhou City these few days. At home, listen to your third uncle." Zhao Jiancheng ordered.

The summer in Dancheng is hot and long, but it has nothing to do with the Tao family.

The Tao family dug a cold well to draw water to build the Rain Pavilion. In the pavilion, they placed an ice jar filled with fruits and vegetables, which made people feel cool and refreshed when they took a sip.

Tao Hongyuan calculated that his son should be back by now, but there was no news at all, which made him think that something might have happened.

News came from the capital that the imperial court planned to relax restrictions on pearl fields, and that except for yellow pearls, other pearls could also be used by the people.

Although this expanded the sales of pearls and also allowed more people to open pearl farms, it was not a good thing for the Tao family.

There was also Yunshuang who was sent to the palace and was awarded by the emperor to Prince Qing as a concubine. I don’t know whether the emperor was trying to warn the Tao family or whether Concubine Jing used some other means.

……

Any one of these things alone would make Tao Hongyuan think carefully, and if they happened at the same time, it would be enough to make him anxious.

"Father." Tao Meiyu entered the pavilion and saluted.

Tao Hongyuan glanced at Tao Meiyun and asked, "You've been in He County for so long, do you know anyone?"

"They are all people who try to associate with me because of He Tangchun's status. Now they are forgotten." Tao Meiyu knew that her sixth brother had not returned.

She was sure that something had happened to Tao Zhiyu because Xu Boyan was in He County.

She originally thought that Xu Boyan would not easily let the Tao family discover his existence and might avoid Tao Zhiyu, so she didn't care.

Now that Tao Zhiyu hasn't come back, Tao Meiyu thinks it was Xu Boyan who did it.

Tao Hongyuan glanced at Tao Meiyun and said, "If a woman from the Tao family is a good wife to your husband, you don't remember it at all."

Tao Meiyun hurriedly bowed: "My daughter was suffering from severe morning sickness..."

"Forget it!" Tao Hongyuan thought that she was of no use when he needed her.

Tao Meiyu lowered her head.

"Go back." Tao Hongyuan didn't want to say more. "Don't spread rumors about your discord with your mother-in-law in the future."

"Yes." Tao Meiyu heard her father say that he was planning to go to Xiangzhou.

However, before going to Xiangzhou, she had to deal with all the properties under her name. If the properties were not moved here, they would become targets of others.

After Tao Meiyu left, Tao Hongyuan found two managers and asked them to go to He County to inquire about Tao Zhiyu's whereabouts and to see the strange stones in He County.

Children are the most difficult to control in summer. If you don't keep an eye on them, they will run into the river to swim.

Now what is learned in the morning and afternoon is different, and several teachers thought that the students were with other teachers, so no one noticed that the students ran away halfway.

It was not until their parents discovered them and twisted their ears and sent them to school that the teachers realized that their students had gone out to play.

"What do you think we should do?" Hu Zhexing said he would not take the blame.

"Going to Fushui is not a big deal." Gao E saw that Hu Zhexing was about to pass the blame again.

Hu Zhexing looked at Gao E. In her eyes, nothing was a big deal.

"But it's not safe to go to the river," Gao E quickly added. "I'll have them dig a pond and build it with stones, just for the children to swim in."

Is this what Hu Zhexing thought he meant?

This is what Gao E meant. She was about to talk to Hu Zhexing about the reason when she looked up and saw Xu Boyan appear at the door.
