It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 320

When the cliff fruit leaf tea was delivered to Baoqin's hands in a roundabout way, Fu Weixin knew about it at the first moment.

Baoqin saw the girl leaning on the couch, staring intently at the porcelain cup of freshly brewed tea in her hand, and couldn't help but say, "Girl, if you want her, she wouldn't dare to refuse."

Fu Weixin glanced at Baoqin calmly and said, "No need. It makes no difference whether she's there or not."

On the night of March 26th of the first year of Jian'an, a pair of guards from Fu Mansion rode into Dongshan Village on horseback and bought up all the remaining cliff fruit leaf tea in the village.

At dawn on March 27th of the first year of Jian'an, the Fu Mansion was already brightly lit with candles.

Then the day dawned, joyful music sounded, and half of the guards of the Fu Mansion were dispatched to happily escort the girls of the mansion out of the city gate.

……

Jiang Xing put down the bucket, wiped away the dense beads of sweat on his forehead with his hand, and asked with a heavy breath: "Yan Ni'er, have you heard of Changning Mansion when you were outside? What's it like there? Is it a mess?"

Jiang Yan shook her head: "I only know that when our mansion was in turmoil two years ago, Changning Mansion didn't seem to have any problems. I don't know anything about it recently."

Jiang Xing sighed, "I don't know if Jiang He and Jiang Ju can handle being alone."

Jiang He is the grandson of Jiang Xing, and Jiang Ju is the grandson of Jiang Shun. The uncle and nephew were busy with other things and never came back after the New Year.

We had agreed to go back to the village with Jiang Ying and the other two a few days ago, but I suddenly had to go on a business trip and won't be able to come back for at least two months.

Jiang Xing thought about the grand ceremony of a wealthy family sending off a bride, and it was most likely that they were going to Changning Mansion.

"I don't know if there are many bandits along the way... May our ancestors keep them safe."

……

Time flies.

Just a month after sowing millet, Dongshan Village began to harvest wheat in full swing.

This time, Jiang Fu's family gathered in Dongshan Village after a long absence, and they were accompanied by several good brothers who had shared life and death with him - Zhou Duomu, He Er, Zhu Xiaohu and Xu Yuan.

Jiang Fu carried the last two loads of wheat from the field into the drying yard. After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind and walked over to Jiang Xing and Jiang Wang who were threshing the wheat with a thresher.

He said, "Grandpa Xing, Uncle Wang, I'm back this time... I'm back this time..."

The two old men looked up at him.

"General Song from the Northern Protectorate is about to completely repel the barbarians. Master Fu is planning to send another batch of weapons and food to them. I've signed up."

Jiang Xing was stunned for a moment, then patted Jiang Fu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is a good thing! You don't have to look so stern."

Jiang Fu said, "I'm going to be gone this time. I can't say for sure whether it will be half a year or one or two years before I come back. I'd like to ask the elders to take care of my wife, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian."

Jiang Xing was a little angry: "Do you even need to say this?"

Jiang Wang turned his head to look at Yu Qian, who was working silently without a smile, and Jiang Nian, who was silent and not with Jiang Yan. He sensed something was wrong and said in a hoarse voice:

"Tell me the truth, don't hide it. What are you going to do? Isn't it dangerous? There's a chance you won't be able to come back, right?

You've delivered it once before, and it was a cold, snowy day, and the round trip took only three months. How come it took even longer this time even though the weather is better?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xing dropped his hand that was still on Jiang Fu's shoulder heavily: "Explain clearly quickly."

Jiang Fu was silent for a long time before he whispered, "The government has agreed that we brothers can stay in the Northern Protectorate after delivering our gifts, and they will also recommend us to General Song's camp."

Jiang Xing roared, "You've dodged so many rounds of conscription, why are you willing to follow the same path that killed your uncles and brothers? If something were to happen, have you considered whether your wife Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian, and us old men and women, would be able to handle it?"

Everyone in the drying yard heard Jiang Xing's roar. They didn't understand what was going on, but they stopped what they were doing and gathered around worriedly.
