Farming and reading family

This is true.

In order to prevent officials from being extravagant, the imperial court had various regulations on yamen. As a result, some officials were unwilling to live in dilapidated yamen and had to rent houses instead.

Even Xu Boyan had never thought of repairing the He County Government Office.

"I didn't say that Lord Cao could build it privately, but the court can't allow He County to be without a government office forever." Gao E said with a smile.

"That's going to have to wait for the imperial documents." Cao Geng said, thinking that he was still staying at Gao E's inn. "I'll find a place to move in as soon as possible."

"There's no one here right now, Lord Cao, you can stay here. My Master Xie is a famous craftsman in the area. Can you hire him to build the government office?"

Cao Geng thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

He is very confident in the work done by Gao'e's people.

Although the rebels were pacified, the people of He County did not dare to take it lightly. After all, it was a bloody lesson.

No one said anymore that Cao Geng shouldn't have been strictly disciplined.

Wu and Chen Tao went back only after they were sure that Hexian was fine. However, Chen Tao insisted on leaving the house deeds and land deeds with his master.

"Master, I'm still young. What if I can't hold on?" Chen Tao said pitifully.

He knew his master was soft-hearted.

"Are you really not afraid that I will sell you?" Gao E joked.

"That's my way of showing filial piety to my master." Chen Tao disagreed.

"If you want to put it here, put it here first." Gao E no longer refused. "But you must learn to take control of your family as soon as possible. Master can't take care of you forever."

"Yes." Chen Tao assured.

By the twelfth lunar month, there was still no snow. Gao E planned to kill more livestock this year, in addition to giving them as New Year gifts to the people below, and also to make some bacon.

If the drought continues, we must save as much food as possible.

That day, Gao E had just come out of Peng Can's house when she saw a carriage heading towards her house.

When she arrived home, she saw Luo Qing'er getting off the carriage.

Luo Qing'er was wearing a gray-blue narrow-sleeved jacket and skirt with many pleats, looking like a village woman.

"Qing'er?" Gao E looked at Luo Qing'er in surprise.

Shouldn't she be working as a boss lady in the capital now? Why did she risk coming back?

Luo Qing'er turned around and saw Sister Gao smiling, and she relaxed completely: "Sister."

"Why are you back?" Gao E felt that Luo Qing'er was a little different.

"Let's go inside and talk." Luo Qing'er said as she unconsciously rubbed her lower abdomen.

Seeing Luo Qing'er's action, Gao E reacted suddenly and realized that Luo Qing'er had a hint of mature charm.

The groom moved all the things into the yard and left.

Gao E looked at Luo Qing'er and asked, "What's going on?"

"I'm pregnant with Brother Boyan's child." Luo Qing'er said in a low voice.

Gao E was surprised: "Are you married?"

Hearing what Sister Gao said, Luo Qing'er felt a little lonely: "No, Brother Boyan is in great danger on his way to Shuoxi. I want to leave him a descendant."

Gao E suddenly realized something and looked at Luo Qing'er's belly, not knowing what to say: "Does he know?"

"know."

"How did he say?"

"He said he would marry me if he could come back safely." Luo Qing'er sighed slightly at this point. "Actually, I don't care whether he marries me or not."

Ever since Luo Qing'er opened her own Huanxizhu restaurant, she had no intention of getting married.

Brother Boyan wants to marry a girl from a wealthy family, but she doesn’t have anyone she wants to marry, so that guy is also a good choice.

"About this matter..." Gao E didn't know what to say. "Xu Boyan is not the kind of irresponsible person. And with the relationship between your two families, you can rest assured."

Luo Qing'er looked at Sister Gao. In fact, she knew that the person Brother Boyan liked was Sister Gao.

Only when he is with Sister Gao will Brother Boyan feel truly relaxed and happy.

But Brother Gao has always treated Brother Boyan as a friend.

She didn't do this out of integrity, she just wanted to have fewer regrets.

"I know." Luo Qing'er nodded.

Gao E thought that a scourge like Xu Boyan would be infamous for eternity and would not die easily.

"Since you're back, just stay home and have a good time." Gao E looked at Luo Qing'er. "Don't think too much when you're pregnant. Just give birth to the baby peacefully."

"Okay." Luo Qing'er nodded with a smile.

"By the way, what about the business in the capital?" Gao E suddenly thought of this.

"Leave it to my sister-in-law." Luo Qing'er has already made arrangements.

Now the relationship between Prince Qing and Brother Boyan is delicate, and the Princess is unlikely to do such a thing, so Luo Qing'er had no choice but to hand her over to Princess Bin.

Besides, the seasonings from Baotou Village cannot be transported there, so Huanxizhu will probably have to close temporarily soon after the New Year.

"Just make the arrangements." Gao E nodded.

Luo Qing'er needs to make money more now than ever. If something really happens to Xu Boyan, she will be able to live a more relaxed life.

Even in Batou Village, she could feel the ever-changing situation in the capital, as if everyone could change their choices at any time, which was very annoying.

After chatting for a while, Gao E asked He to clean up Luo Qing'er's room and let Luo Qing'er go to rest first.

This year, Baotou Village is not as lively as in previous years. Although we should avoid buying things if possible, we still have to celebrate the New Year.

Celebrate the New Year with great enthusiasm to drive away the God of Poverty, and maybe things will get better after the New Year.

As the Lunar New Year was approaching, a document came down from the prefect, asking Cao Geng to send the people who had surrounded and killed the rebels last time to Tanzhou City.

There have been a lot of refugees in Qinzhou City recently, and Deng Yu was worried about unrest, so he kept them all out of the city.

However, the refugees kept trying to enter the city, and Deng Yu did not have enough manpower, so he thought of temporarily borrowing the people who had suppressed the rebels in He County last time.

After receiving the document, Cao Geng went to find Gao E, who had to approve the matter.

Gao E laughed at what she saw.

Deng Yu appears to be gentle and polite, but he has made things difficult for her a lot. Now she wants to use his people?

If something goes wrong, will his people have to take the blame?

"No." Gao E said bluntly.

Cao Geng knew it wouldn't work: "The court has regulations that officials can recruit strong local laborers in times of emergency. If we really don't let them go, he will definitely use this as a reason to cause trouble."

Gao E was just about to ask if there was any law left, but then she changed her mind and thought that this was what the law stipulated, so there must be something wrong with the law.

"Qinzhou City is so big and there is no one here. Why do you have to come to He County to ask for people?" Gao E asked unhappily.

Cao Geng felt that this was somewhat of a personal vendetta: "There's nothing we can do now."

"What do you mean there's no way?" Gao E saw that Cao Geng didn't want to think about it. "Master Cao, please think carefully. If my people really go to Tanzhou City and something happens to Hexian County, there will be no way to save it."

Cao Geng was not worried about He County. The people in He County were very conscious now. Not to mention the refugees, even the beggars on the street must be familiar to him.

"Then what countermeasures do you have?" Cao Geng asked directly.

"My solution is to have no one." Gao E spread her hands.

Cao Geng wanted people to figure it out on their own.

Cao Geng could only smile bitterly when he heard Gao E say this: "The people of Tanzhou City are also people."

"Everyone is just ordinary people, and we are still poor people." Gao E would never give it to anyone.
