Chapter 382 You are happy
Shen House.
"Master Xie, if you need anything, just ask one of your subordinates to come and summon him. Why bother you to come here in person?"
"Hahaha, Brother Shen, there's no one else here, and I'm wearing casual clothes today. Do we have to be so formal with each other?" Xie Xie said as he straightened the sleeves of his casual clothes and took a sip of the teacup on the table.
Shen Lin laughed out loud after being accused by him, "Brother is stupid, is there something that Ziyun needs to do to come here today?"
Xie Xie, whose courtesy name was Ziyun.
The county magistrate of Taohua Town, the people's father and mother.
Xie Xie had some connections with the Shen family. When he was young, he had the opportunity to receive guidance from Mr. Shen who had returned from the capital. He considered himself half of Mr. Shen's disciple and had interacted with the Shen family over the years.
Seeing Shen Lin asking, Xie Xie didn't beat around the bush. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Brother Shen, the summer tax was delivered to the warehouse a few days ago. The people below have sorted out the booklet for me to review. The yield of your farmland..." Xie Xie looked at Shen Lin's face carefully and said word by word, "Is it too high?"
Seeing that he came for this matter, Shen Lin couldn't help but feel more cheerful, "Ziyun found out?"
When Xie Ziyun heard him ask this, he knew that what the people below said was true.
He smiled bitterly, "Brother Shen, it's hard not to notice this. The people below learned something and came to me, saying that your family used some kind of 'fermented manure' and the crop yields in the fields were terrifying. I came here today just for this reason."
"Hahaha, I can't hide anything from you." Shen Lin laughed happily.
Xie Ziyun smiled undeniably, "Brother Shen, if you really have a way to increase production, you can't hide your incompetence. Even if I don't seek political achievements for myself, I want to seek food and clothing for the people of the whole county. Brother Shen, do you know that what you have is a great tool that benefits the people?"
The first half of Xie Ziyun's words were a joking request, but the second half reflected his broad mind as a county magistrate.
Shen Lin is not a fat, bloated, and uneducated person. On the contrary, he has a long-term vision.
At this time, after listening to Xie Ziyun's words, Shen Lin nodded, "I have such a method in my hand."
"Is it really that effective?" Xie Xie asked in surprise after hearing him admit it himself.
"Haven't you seen the grade book?" Shen Lin asked back.
"Hahahaha, I'm too excited. Since Brother Shen has this method to increase grain production, I wonder?"
The two talked for about two cups of tea, and Shen Lin watched Xie Xie leave at the gate.
Then she turned to Shen Shi and ordered, "Go to the Wen family tomorrow, and then..." Shen Lin gave him a series of orders.
The more Shen Shi listened, the more shocked he became, and finally he nodded heavily.
In the inner courtyard, Madam Shen was sitting in front of a low table with several pieces of fabric on it. She touched each piece and seemed to be reluctant to let go of them.
Hearing the noise and seeing her master coming in, Mrs. Shen's eyebrows and eyes curved wider in smile, with the corners of her mouth raised. Even though she was anxious, her gentleness and virtuousness made people feel a little happy.
"Master, please take a look at these materials and see which one is better. I want to make a set of clothes for our grandson myself, and the material must be the best." Mrs. Shen said.
Shen Lin shook her head and laughed, "Madam, Qingxue's hospital just found out yesterday that she's pregnant. It's still a long time before the baby is born. Why are you so anxious?"
Shen Lin felt sorry for his wife, but she complained to him, "What do you know, you are a grown man? You need to prepare things for the child in advance. There will be one more person in the family in more than eight months. What should we prepare? Besides, Qingxue can't eat anything now. She can hardly take care of herself. If I don't help worry about them, who will feel sorry for them?"
Shen Lin originally wanted to ask the servants in the mansion to prepare it, but then he thought about it and realized that he had just said "Why rush?" and the lady would complain. If he asked someone else to prepare it, would the lady still let him into the house today?
Mrs. Shen waited for a while but he didn't say anything. She looked up and saw that he seemed to be in a trance.
Mrs. Shen then remembered that the message from the front yard had just come, and seeing him in a trance, she thought something had happened. She put down the cloth that made her undecided, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Lin, and asked softly, "Did Ziyun come here just now for something?"
Shen Lin took the teacup, her face full of joy, "That's a good thing."
Then he told his wife what happened in the front yard, and finally said, "I'll ask Shen Shi to go over there tomorrow."
Madam Shen didn't pay much attention to the outside world, but she knew that this was a good thing. Then she suddenly said, "Hasn't Third Brother always wanted to thank Qingqing for saving his life? I see that he can walk well now. Do you want him to go with you tomorrow? Uncle will be back to Beijing in a while."
Shen Lin paused for a moment, as if she had remembered this incident, and laughed as she stood up and said, "I'll go talk to my uncle right away."
Madam Shen looked at her master's back, and thought that she would have to go there tomorrow to thank Madam Wen.
Qingxue was the girl he had set his eyes on. She had been married for several years but there had been no news of pregnancy. Recently, she seemed to be in poor spirits, so he sent someone to ask a doctor to come and check on her. The doctor found out that she was pregnant.
Thank God, the Shen family has descendants.
Moreover, she only found out yesterday that Qingqing and Qingxue had talked about so many ways to help with pregnancy.
She should be thankful for her past.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen hurriedly called out "Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui."
......
After the wheat was harvested, heavy rains one after another irrigated the crops in the fields. The most unanimous praise for God during this period was: God has eyes!
After the rain, the sky cleared and new crops were planted in the stubble fields.
At the same time, the heat wave after the rain swept across Daliang, and the cicadas chirped day and night, making people even more irritated.
In the dog days of summer with no air conditioning, no fans and no ice, Gu Qingqing was like a young grass on the roadside that had just sprouted its tips and could not withstand the sunlight.
It seems to be strong and resilient, but it seems to be sluggish in the heat wave.
The weak Weed Grass was lying on the bamboo-mat-covered kang with her arms and legs spread out, trying to endure the nausea in her stomach. She didn't even want to muster the strength to fan herself with a palm-leaf fan.
Several children wanted to enter the house, but were stopped outside the door by Wen Wuyan.
He walked into the house carrying a basin of washed cucumbers and tomatoes, and felt so distressed when he saw Qingqing's wilted look.
He quickly went forward and took the palm-leaf fan from the kang to fan her, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better? Do you still want to vomit? I washed some of your favorite cucumbers and tomatoes. Would you like to try them first?"
"I don't want to eat. I have no appetite. It's not sour enough." Gu Qingqing said as she turned over and lay on her side. She put one arm on Wen Wuyan's thigh, her fingers moving slightly, as if she was acting coquettishly.
"Just bear with it. I asked Meihua to buy some preserved sour fruits from town this morning. They should be back soon. I also asked her to help find a doctor, who should be here soon."
When Gu Qingqing heard the word "call a doctor", her confused eyes opened immediately. She wanted to say, "Why did you call a doctor?", but then she thought it was a good idea to call a doctor. It would be so embarrassing if she made a wrong diagnosis.
Besides, if she really does get pregnant, she will take good care of the baby.
If not, she can't be lazy.
After figuring it out, she said "Oh" and then whispered, "Wen Wuyan, don't talk. Let me rest for a while. I'm a little sleepy. Wait for the doctor to come and call me."
"Okay, I won't talk and I'll fan you."
Wen Wuyan seemed to be used to seeing Qingqing who was full of energy or noisy and aggressive every day. He had never seen her so weak. Just looking at her slightly frowned brows, he felt so distressed.
While helping to fan her with a palm-leaf fan, he reached out to smooth her frown.
Just when Gu Qingqing was about to go to sleep, the doctor from the town arrived.
Wen Wuyan hurriedly asked someone to come in. The children in the yard knew nothing about the situation. When they saw the doctor coming home, they thought their mother was sick and their eyes turned red with fear.
The doctor came quickly and left quickly.
Happy pulse.
