Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Time flies so fast, and it has been half a month since Jiajun returned home. On this day, Jiajun came back from outside, but met a granddaughter of Shen's sister's family, named Pearl, in the front yard. When Pearl saw Jiajun, she immediately came to Jiajun with a smile on her face and said, "My cousin is back. Pearl has met my cousin."

Jiajun thought for a while and then remembered who the person in front of him was. "My cousin is so polite. When did my cousin come here?" Since he was a guest and a relative, he couldn't just leave without saying a few words. of.

"I came here a few days ago. My cousin is very busy. How can he have time to see the pearl?" The woman opposite looked at Jiajun with a resentful look.

Jiajun frowned, what's going on? How can a good girl look at people like this? He was unhappy and unwilling to talk to others. "I've been a little busy lately. I have to go to the study to sort things out, so I won't be here talking to my cousin." After saying that, Jiajun walked to the backyard.

"Cousin, let Pearl help my cousin clean up. Pearl is also literate." The woman looked at it and said anxiously.

"No, no outsiders are allowed to interfere with my things." Jiajun waved his hand and left without looking back.

The woman behind him was so angry that she almost shed tears. A few years ago, when she was still young, she admired this cousin very much. Unfortunately, her cousin married another woman. Her grandmother sent her over a few days ago, with the intention of secretly wanting her to be her cousin's concubine. Of course I am willing. Not only is my cousin good-looking, he is now a Jinshi. His future is unlimited. Even if he is a concubine, he is still much better than other people's wives. But it's been several days since I arrived, and I can't see my cousin at all. During the meal, my cousin didn't come over. He actually ate with his cousin in the backyard, saying he was afraid that his cousin would eat too little. I finally met him today, but it's a pity that I only said a few words.

Pearl bit her lower lip and came to the old lady's house.

During dinner, the old lady sent someone to call Jiajun over. After dinner, the old lady left Jiajun, Dong Shaochang and Feng behind.

"Jiajun, you are now a Jinshi and want to be an official in the capital. As for Jinghe, she just gave birth to a baby. She can't be allowed to follow you to the capital on a long journey. That's what I think. Why don't we just let Jinghe stay at home? , serve me and your mother. What do you think?" The old lady looked at Jiajun and Zhenzhu and felt that they were a perfect match.

Jiajun frowned, "Grandma, Jinghe is my wife. If she doesn't follow me to the capital, what should I do? No, I can't live without Jinghe. She must go to the capital with me." His grandma, this is What to do? Jiajun remembers how his grandma made things difficult for his mother and second aunt. Now beside the second uncle, there are two aunts whom grandma pushed over.

"Grandma's intention is to let Pearl follow you to the capital. Pearl is your aunt's granddaughter, so she matches our family. Grandma has made the decision and asked you to take Pearl as your second wife. What do you think?" The old lady thinks, Pearl This girl is good-looking, no worse than Jinghe, and her grandson should be more attracted to her.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? Jinghe and I are a young couple. Jinghe has been married to our family for four years and has given birth to three sons for me. She has nothing to say to me or our family. Where did Jinghe offend me? Grandma, she is still in confinement, you are going to poke her heart like this? No, I don't know how to take a concubine. Send this cousin Pearl back to their home quickly." Jiajun was furious when he heard this. , His good temper usually does not mean that he has no principles. No wonder Pearl looked at him so much today. She was thinking about these dirty things. She really looked down on him, Dong Jiajun.

"You bastard, grandma is doing it for your own good. Now that you are an official of the imperial court, you must have three wives and four concubines by your side to be worthy of your status. What's wrong with Pearl? She is good-looking and literate. It's your blessing to be your concubine." The old lady was a little angry. She was just arranging a woman for her grandson. Is she worthy of this?

"I don't want such a blessing. I only have Jinghe in my heart, and I only want to grow old with Jinghe. I'm too lazy to look at the other women. Someone, please send my cousin back to their Zhao family. From now on. , No one is allowed to pick her up without me." Jiajun got angry and stood up and shouted.

Jiajun's father has a soft temper, so since Jiajun got married, it was Jiajun who took over the family and outside the family. In the past few years, Jiajun's methods have been known to the servants in the family. At this time, several women came in from outside, supported Pearl and walked out.

"If you dare, stop it. I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn to take charge of this family. Who dares to touch the cousin girl?" The old lady was so angry that she shouted at the women.

"Which one of you who doesn't listen to me will be dragged out and beaten to death immediately, and sent away as soon as possible. I look disgusted and panicked." Jiajun didn't care about that and waved his hands towards the women.

Naturally, the ladies didn't dare to neglect, so they helped the cousin and went out.

Jiajun was also very angry, "Mom, starting from today, you should take over the affairs at home. You are now a grandma, can't you still take care of this at home?" He has disliked his grandma since he was a child. He bullied his mother, but at that time he had no ability and couldn't control it. If we don't care now, we don't know what will happen to our family. "Okay, it's time for me to go back and be with Jinghe. Don't let me hear anything about concubinage in the future. When Jinghe is out of confinement, we will go to Beijing together. For everyone in the house, I will only take Jinghe's dowry with me. Those people who came here. I don’t want any money from my family. From now on, you should stay out of my business." After Jiajun finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.

The old lady waited for Jiajun to leave, and then she calmed down. She was so angry that she kept crying. "What evil have I done to let a junior choke me like this? It's you and that little hooves who have been instigating my grandson all day long. Otherwise, could she have divorced me? Why am I blind? I was shocked to marry two prodigal women like this to the old Dong family." The old lady had no place to vent her anger, so she pointed at Feng and scolded her.

In the early years, Mrs. Feng suffered from the hardships of the old lady. Now that she is older, she will be better. Now that the son is so tough, the mother cannot let her son lose face. "Mom, my daughter-in-law is tired these days. You should have a good rest." Feng was secretly glad that she did not listen to her mother's family's instigation and bring her niece over. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little proud, and turned away.

Dong Shaochang was left behind, looking at his mother helplessly. Normally, this mother seemed quite smart. Why was she so confused this time? "Mom, what stupid trick did you do? Jinghe's sisters and the princesses, Prince Fu didn't even say that he would have a concubine or something. Our Jiajun, can we still be with them? Prince? If Jiajun really agrees to your promise, then he won't have to be an official anymore, and the Xu family will be able to find a way to get Jiajun back, and there will be nothing they can do to marry Jinghe into our family. , No matter who he is, he is gentle and polite, and our family cannot afford to be sorry for Jinghe after giving birth to so many children."

"What kind of princess is not a princess? When Xu Jinghe marries into our family, she has to listen to us. Which daughter-in-law is not like this? Why is the daughter of his Xu family so strong that she is not even allowed to have a concubine?" Although the old lady understood in her heart, she still refused to forgive her.

"Whether Jinghe gives in or not, we can't do this. Jiajun is just a Jinshi. He still has a long way to go in the future. He will inevitably need the help of the Xu family. How can we offend the Xu family like this? Isn't it uncomfortable to find it? What? A princess, a princess, and a marquis from the Xu family, if any one of them makes a move, even the second child, let alone Jiajun, will be in trouble, mother, you. Just calm down a little bit from now on." Dong Shaochang shook his head and came out of the old lady's house.

Jiajun came out of the old lady's house angrily. He didn't dare to go to Jinghe's house just like that. Although he didn't agree, he felt that grandma was a little sorry for Jinghe by doing this. So, I stood in the yard for a while, feeling calm before entering the house.

Jinghe actually already knew what happened just now. Jixiang and Ruyi came from the palace, and they were the smartest ones. Jinghe also had several girls who he bought later, all of whom were trained by Jixiang Ruyi. These few get along well in the house, and they will be the first to know if there is any trouble.

When Jixiang told Jinghe about this matter, Jinghe couldn't help but smile bitterly, but she was also very heart-warming. By the time Jiajun came in, Jinghe had already put the matter aside. Since her husband didn't agree, why bother holding on to it? After all, she is her husband's grandmother. She must not say anything else. As long as she firmly captures her husband's heart, everything else comes second. To put it bluntly, she, Xu Jing, has a backer from her natal family, has given birth to three sons, and has a large dowry. What is she afraid of?

"Ms. sir, come here quickly. The eldest and second son are here today." Grandma Sun happened to come over with her two sons to see her younger brother.

Jiajun looked at his three sons and felt very proud. He talked with them for a long time. It wasn't until the younger son was a little sleepy that he asked Grandma Sun to take them away. After waiting for his son to leave, Jiajun stepped forward and held Jinghe's hand, "Madam, don't worry, I will never let you down in this life."

Jinghe smiled, "Whatever, as long as you let go of your son, I don't care. If you dare to disrespect me, I will take all three sons away." Jinghe is no longer the timid little girl back then. Under the guidance of Mrs. Chen and her sisters, she has long since transformed into a virtuous, intelligent, but strong-minded woman.

Jiajun smiled, "Little rascal, don't think about it. In this life, you have to be with me and you will never escape from me." Jiajun leaned down and kissed Jinghe on the lips. "You will be pregnant in about ten days. Then, we will go to the capital together. Don't worry, the weather will be warm by then. I will take good care of you and won't let anything happen to you and the child."

On April 12, when the child was one month old, the Dong family held a full moon wine banquet for relatives and friends. It was also a farewell wine for Jiajun and his wife. On April 16th, the Jiajun couple took their children and the servants of the mansion and set off to the capital to start their new life.
