Chapter 343 Since he had already paid the grain tax once last year, he was familiar with the situation.
After A Nian had settled the grain tax matter, He Zijin also visited the ladies of Beichang Prefecture, and then he and A Nian I took the children to Beijingguan.
Jizhen is still a little homesick.
For such a young child, it is her first time away from home.
There is nothing she doesn’t want to do.
That is to say, the He family has many children and is lively.
Several children are together for twelve hours a day.
Ji Zhen does not feel lonely. , so I didn’t miss home so much.
But he knew he was going home, so he told Axi about his family affairs in the car along the way.
Of course, there were many words to show off his wealth, such as, "Go to my house this time and bring all the money I saved."
Come, I will buy you peach blossom cake every day.”
Axi was not unreasonable when she heard this.
She kept chanting "peach blossom cake, peach blossom cake" all the way, even in her dreams, she had to chant a few words about peach blossom cake.
Of course, Ji Zhen also promised different gifts to his friends.
What, he has a big ship and wants to give it to Brother Xing.
There is also a horse that I want to give to Aye.
As the three of them said, they yearn for brother Jizhen's home.
This time I went to General Ji's house and didn't hand over the post.
Ji Zhen is much more useful than the post.
When the concierge saw that the eldest young master was back, he wished he could carry Ji Zhen in personally.
He was even more polite to A Nian and He Zijin.
Since A Nian was a male guest, he also invited him to the outer study room for tea.
He took the children and went in with Ji Zhen.
Mrs.
Jiang had just finished confinement and her cheeks were a little rounded.
She was naturally happy to see her eldest son coming home.
She invited He Zijin and his party to sit down.
Before Mrs.
Jiang could say anything, Ji Zhen couldn't help but run to her mother and asked, "Mom, Where’s the little sister?”
Mrs.
Ji touched her son's round little face and smiled, "It's not a little sister, it's a little brother."
Ji Zhen's pretty little face couldn't help showing disappointment, and asked again, "Isn't she really my little sister?"
Mrs.
Ji pointed at A Xi and said, "Isn't this my little sister?"
Ji Zhen's mind was wandering, thinking about it, yes, he already has sister Xi, and his mother would be anxious to see the little brother even if she gave birth to a little brother.
Mrs.
Ji said to the maid, "You can take the children with you."
He Zijin inevitably warned the children a few more words, "The babies are still young.
We can't touch them now.
We can only stand on the side and take a look."
The four of them opened their mouths and shouted in unison, "I know."
Mrs.
Jiang couldn't help laughing and said to He Zijin, "It doesn't matter.
There are maids and nannies in the house.
Let them go and have a look.

Children all like children."
He Zijin said nothing more.
The children saw that the adults had no objections.
Ji Zhen took A Xi's hand, and A Ye Xing followed behind, and the four of them went to look at the baby together.
He Zijin said to Madam Jiang, "My husband and I went to the state capital to pay the summer grain tax.
Beichang Mansion is not far from here, so I brought A Zhen with me.
I thought Madam must also miss him."
Mrs.
Jiang smiled and said, "I was telling Ah Ying to go over and see Ah Zhen, but you guys came instead.
Ah Zhen is much more lively than when she was at home."
He Zijin said, "There are two naughty ones in my family.
Brother Xing also studied with my grandmother at my place.
It happened that A-Zhen went there, so we could keep company."
He also elaborated on A-Zhen's schoolwork. , Mrs.
Jiang is so discerning.
As soon as she saw her son coming back happily and growing taller by visual inspection, she knew that her son was living a good life in Shahe County.
"It's rare that you like children."
What Mrs.
Jiang said was true.
With her family's current power, no matter who the child is placed in, they will not be treated badly.
However, adequate food and clothing and education are two different things.
As long as He Zijin cares If you can take care of your children and give them advice on big and small matters, you will know that He Zijin is not someone who just spoils his children.
He Zijin smiled, "When I was a kid, our house was more lively.
Brothers and sisters were playmates when I was young.
Groups of people would often play at my house."
Mrs.
Jiang smiled, "You are a warm-hearted person."
"That's how I resemble Madam."
He Zijin never forgot Madam Jiang's kindness to her.
Seeing that Jiang Ying was a little thinner than before, she said, "I was just saying that before I came, sister Ying."
If you have time, you might as well come and stay with me for a while.
When Sister Ying left, Shahe County had just recovered, and the scenery was not good.
Now the scenery is excellent.
I will take Sister Ying to look around.
Now that everything is fine, I still want to go to the market.
I think Sister Jiang is not blindly in love with her.
The temperament of being bored at home.”
There was a trace of worry between Jiang Ying's brows.
Although he was a little moved by He Zijin's proposal, he still remembered that his second brother was young and his mother had just given birth and was weak.
Jiang Ying said, "Sister, I have good intentions.
Treat your second brother well."
I’ll go when I’m older.”
Mrs.
Jiang said, "Since Zijin invited you, you can go and relax.
I haven't been to the market for a long time.

Haven't you always wanted to go?"
"I'm at home, and I can help you take care of the housework."
Mrs.
Jiang smiled, "There are stewards, housekeepers, maids, and mothers-in-law at home.
You can go and have some fun.
Don't stay bored at home all the time.
Boredom will narrow your horizons."
Jiang Ying agreed and said to He Zijin, "I feel depressed and panic, and I also want to go to my sister's place."
When He Zijin saw that Jiang Ying was not shy about talking about her fiancé, he gave her a few words of advice, "Just don't be an outsider with me.
We have known each other for many years, and I have gone through some ups and downs.
However, what I have experienced is nothing like your mother."
Compared with the scriptures, it’s nothing.
It’s just that fate hasn’t arrived yet, it’s God’s will.”
Mrs.
Jiang said, "I said the same thing.
Ah Ying is still young, so he can't look away.
When the general and I are at this age, we know that there is no big or difficult thing in the world.
As long as you live, there is always a way to go." " He Zijin deeply agreed, "Yes, sometimes the road seems difficult to walk, but in fact, you will know when you walk up it, and it is not as difficult as you imagine.
Sometimes you will see a smooth plain, but walking up will be sour, sweet, and bitter, which is hard to describe in words."
Mrs.
Jiang was still young when she met He Zijin, and He Zijin was just a little girl at that time.
The two of them were actually more than ten years apart in age.
As a result, their friendship has continued to this day because of the three views between the two.
Very consistent.
Mrs.
Jiang experienced a legendary life and got married three times.
Finally, she was married to a village girl from a mountain village.
Mrs.
Jiang's experience is legendary, but because of her experience, there are very few people who truly agree that she can be friends with her.
Among them, He Zijin is one of them.
Mrs.
Jiang asked about He Zijin's life in Shahe County.
He Zijin smiled, "There is nothing going on now, the children are older, and I have been in Shahe County for some time.
Speaking of which, Beichang Prefecture is like this.
Not many people in the imperial capital know much about it.
They all say it is a bitter and cold place.
In fact, But it is a rare treasure.
Not to mention ginseng and velvet, there are not only red ginseng from Beiliang, but also rare wild ginseng.
Even though it is not common, Beichang Prefecture is the place where wild ginseng is produced.
I think the quality of the fur in Beichang Prefecture is better than that in other places.”
Mrs.
Jiang smiled, "Yes, you will know when you go to the market, there are more good things than you think."
He Zijin said, "If you ask me, even the local rice is better than the one in my hometown."
Jiang Ying laughed when he heard this and said, "Most of the people who come to Beichang from the imperial capital are not used to anything.
The climate, food, and everything are not to their liking.

But Sister Zijin, who just came to Beichang After living there for a year, everything in Beichang has improved. " He Zijin said with a smile, "I have long been interested in Beichang.
My sister doesn't know that when we first arrived in the Imperial Capital, the prices in the Imperial Capital were amazing, twice as much as in my hometown.
Later we arrived in Beichang.
In the Mansion, game is everywhere.
It’s much cheaper than the Imperial Capital, and the game here is not as good as the Imperial Capital.
I don't know if they are wild and domestic, and they taste more pure.
Moreover, in the imperial capital, dignitaries are everywhere, and we have to be careful when we sneeze when we go out.
It is true that the climate in Beichang is bitter and cold.
The weather is not good, and the delicate people can't stand it, so we have the opportunity here.
We are not those who cannot bear hardships.
I like this kind of world.
I am not afraid of hard work, but I am afraid of not having the opportunity."
He Zijin said, "Sister, come with me.
I just harvested spring crops this year.
I grew fragrant glutinous rice.
This rice is rare now and you can’t find it normally.
It’s very fragrant.
I brought it with me.
I’ll bring some here and give it to you and my wife to taste.
Just be careful when eating.
Although this kind of rice tastes good, it’s not easy to digest.
Don’t eat too much.
If you have a bad stomach, don’t eat this.
Rice.
However, the fragrance is really good, and the texture in the mouth is, to be honest with my sister, I can just eat a bowl of it.”
Jiang Ying laughed, "You have to try it."
"First-class good rice has a low yield.
One acre of land yields only thirty kilograms.
If it is divided into colors and sifted, one acre of first-class fragrant glutinous rice only yields ten kilograms."
Speaking of which, the rice yield at this time is indeed not high, mainly because There are no pesticides, pest control or anything like that, it’s all artificial.
Of course, this is either hybrid rice or local fragrant glutinous rice.
Because of its low yield and good taste, locals think it is not enough to fill their stomachs, so very few are still grown.
He Zijin spent a lot of effort to find some fragrant glutinous rice seeds.
Most of the fields in his hands were planted with this kind of rice, and the yield was really amazing.
He Zijin talked about how good the rice was.
Mrs.
Jiang became interested and ordered the cook to steam the rice for lunch.
He Zijin also introduced how to steam the rice.
Mrs.
Jiang smiled, "I've heard for a long time that you have a lot of experience in food.
Now I see it for myself, and you really live up to your reputation."
He Zijin smiled, "I just learned a little bit from the master, I can't compare."
Mrs.
Jiang smiled, "You are very good now."
She said to her daughter Jiang Ying, "You go to Shahe County and learn from Zi Jin.

It doesn't matter if you know how to do it.
It doesn't matter if you know how to eat and read."
Jiang Ying said, "Sister Zijin's craftsmanship is extraordinary.
I think A-Zhen has become more mature after living at Sister Zijin's place for a while."
Mrs.
Jiang nodded in agreement.
Not only was her son taller, but his face was also rounder.
He Zijin said, "I really didn't care about them when they were eating.
Except for telling them to be careful with chicken bones and fish bones, they just ate whatever they wanted.
Sister Ying also knows that there is no shortage of chicken, fish and elbow meat in my house, but...
That's all , most of them are home-cooked dishes, and there are more vegetarian dishes than meat dishes in the evening.
There are more children, so the food is delicious.
A-Zhen was very reserved when she first went to eat, and then she gave them fried chicken nuggets, which were live chickens.
Chicken breasts and chicken legs with the meat removed from the bone Cut the head into dice size, marinate it with seasonings for an hour, wrap it in batter and fry it.
Children like to eat this.
I think it is too oily, and eating too much will make me angry, so I just fry it one plate at a time.
Fifteen or six yuan.
Azhen started by eating one.
He took one, ate one, and then ate the next one.
When he took it again, he saw that it was gone, but he was dumbfounded.
Later, when the chicken nuggets were fried, he said first that they would be divided according to the head, so he would not eat too much. , If you are slow, you will not eat less.”
Jiang Ying smiled, "I told my mother about this when I got back.
I also said that after four hours of simmering chicken soup at home, A-Zhen wouldn't take another sip.
Everything tastes delicious at my sister’s place.”
He Zijin smiled, "All children are like this, they join a group."
Mrs.
Jiang smiled and said, "In my hometown, most of the people in our village were poor.
There was a landowner who owned hundreds of acres of land and had the most money in the village.
There was a boy in his family, and nothing he ate at home tasted good.
As a result, , the pickled radish they eat at their neighbor’s house is delicious, and for no other reason, their neighbor’s house gave birth to eight children.
Children, eating is like fighting.
A bowl of pickled radish sticks was served and it was eaten in a hurry.
The landlord's boy thought it was delicious.
In fact, he didn't necessarily feel that a group of people were surrounding him when he was eating vegetables.
If you like to eat, you should stay in a group.
If there are more children of the same age, the food will be more delicious. " He Zijin smiled, "There's another thing, children, they always look at the food in other people's hands to taste it.
My Axi has this problem.
She always thinks that the food in her brother's hand is delicious.
When I give them food, I They were always given exactly the same cake, so Ah Xi always looked at her brother's hand and gave them each a piece of peach blossom cake.
It was a big piece and cut into two halves, one half for each person.
Axi took a fancy to the cake in her brother's hand and wanted to trade it for life or death.
Aye was not happy, so he opened his mouth and bit off most of the cake in one bite, holding up the remaining small piece.
The cake asked his sister if she wanted to exchange it.
As a result, Axi still felt that the cake in her brother's hand was good, so she quickly exchanged the half cake in her brother's hand for what she had not eaten. " "Yes.
Why else would it be a child?"

Mrs.
Jiang had just given birth and was very happy to see her eldest son coming home.
She left He Zijin and his party to have dinner at the General's Mansion at noon.
Although General Ji was not at home at Anian's place, he was also accompanied by General Ji's staff.
During lunch, Mrs.
Jiang also praised the fragrant glutinous rice brought by He Zijin, nodded and said, "Don't tell me, this rice is good, more fragrant than what I usually eat, a little glutinous, but not sticky like glutinous rice." , good rice, really good rice.”
Jiang Ying also said the rice tastes good.
He Zijin smiled, "Madam, you think it's good.
I'll ask someone to bring some to Madam at some time."
Mrs.
Jiang said, "You don't have much on hand.
Give me more next year if you plant more."
"Although I don't have much in my hands, I still have some food for daily use."
He Zijin said, "I have left the rice seeds for next year.
I will plant more."
After lunch, He Zijin was about to get up and say goodbye.
As a result, Ji Zhen was reluctant to leave with his friends.
He Zijin smiled and said, "We are not leaving yet.
We are just going to visit relatives.
We will pick you up in a few days.
We have to go back to study together."
Ji Zhen thought for a while and said, "Sister He, let Ah Ye and Ah Xing accompany you, and leave Sister Xi to me."
Jiang Ying said, "It's the same thing if you play with your second brother first."
Ji Zhen said, "My second brother is so young.
When he gets a little older, he will cry, how can he play, and he can't understand what he says."
He Zijin smiled, "Well, today I have to go to the relatives' house to meet the elders, and tomorrow I will send them over to play with you, how about that?"
Ji Zhen was still a very sensible child.
Although she couldn't bear to leave Sister Xi, she still nodded in agreement.
However, she couldn't help but personally held Sister Xi's hand and told Sister Xi, "Come tomorrow.
I'll ask the cook to make peach blossoms."
The cake is waiting for you."
He said to Ah Ye, "Don't bully Sister Xi.
I'll give you some peach blossom cake tomorrow."
He told Brother Xing, "Look at Ah Ye."
Ji Zhen worried about Sister Xi's heart, and then sent Sister Xi away with some reluctance.
Ah Ye muttered to Jizhen, "Uncle Zhen, you are too partial.
Ah Xi often hits me.
Why don't you tell her to be more honest and stop hitting me."
Ji Zhen puffed up her chest and said, "A real man, what are you planning to do if you get hit by a girl a few times?"
Ah Ye, "That's because you haven't experienced it before."
Jizhen said to Ah Lie, "Sister Xi, please hit me."
Mrs.
Jiang: Is her son mentally ill for asking a little girl to want him?
Axi shook her head, "I won't hit Uncle Zhen."
Jiang Ying: Hey, this is a kid.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Ji Zhen taught Ah Ye again, saying to him, "If I didn't see you, sister Xi wouldn't hit you at all.
Otherwise, why wouldn't she hit me?
You just bully her all the time, so she hits you.
You You have to reflect on yourself, why do you deserve to be beaten so much?”
Mrs.
Jiang was amazed that her son could even speak advanced words like "reflection".
The children murmured for a while, and Ji Zhen waved her little hand to bid farewell to her friends for the time being, although they could meet again the next day.
Well, look at Ji Zhen waving her little hand inside the door, and Axi waving her little handkerchief outside the door.
This scene makes people want to laugh, okay?
