The provincial examination was held in Shencheng in early August. Shencheng is the largest prefecture in the northeast and a very prosperous place. This era adopted a two-level system of prefecture and county, but in some places, states will be changed to prefecture. Generally speaking, such places are relatively prosperous or very important places, and Shencheng is the center of the politics and economy of Northeast China, and its status is naturally very important.

The place where Xu's family lives is quite far away. In addition, Wen Han and others are worried that they will not adapt to the environment outside, so they have to set off early. So they booked to leave on the eighth day of the seventh month.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Wen Han, Peng Cheng and Zixuan, took Guoqiang and a servant from the Yue family, and everyone drove the car together and was about to set off.

Jinghan did not go down the mountain to see Zixuan. She was afraid that she could not help but want to follow her. Anyway, what she should have said had been finished long ago, so it would be fine if she didn't go to see her off. Zixuan knew that Jinghan was still on the mountain, so the two had already discussed it, so she didn't feel lost or anything.

Jingya came to see Pengcheng with a big belly. She has been pregnant for more than eight months now and her body is already very heavy. Bai He and Bai Wei next to her carefully supported Jingya, for fear that she would make some mistakes.

Jingya looked at Pengcheng and reached out to smooth her husband's clothes, "Be careful when you go out and don't eat randomly. Also, don't trust others easily. People's hearts are separated from their belly. Who knows what they are all at ease? You have to take good care of yourself, do you know?" Jingya reminded earnestly.

Pengcheng couldn't help but hug Jingya in his arms, "I'm fine, I have my elder brother and Zixuan together. But you, be careful. You have been pregnant for more than eight months now, and I guess you will give birth when I come back. You must be careful at home. If you have anything, just look for your father and mother and take care of yourself."

Pengcheng bent down and reached out to touch Jingya's round belly, "Son, Dad is going out, have you heard it obediently at home? Protect your mother well and don't be naughty."

Jingya's belly suddenly moved, as if she agreed to Pengcheng's words. Pengcheng felt the fetal movement and smiled silly. "Jingya, look, my son has promised me."

Jingya smiled helplessly, "Okay, my son is making you feel at ease. It's getting late, so you can set off quickly. My son and I are waiting for your good news."

Wenhan and Zixuan couldn't stand Pengcheng's tumbling, "Okay, Pengcheng, it's just a month to come. Can you two be so sticky?"

Jingya was a little embarrassed and pushed Pengcheng and asked him to leave quickly. Pengcheng touched Jingya's stomach again, and then he reluctantly got on the carriage and waved to Jingya. "Okay, go back quickly. It's too tiring for a long time. You can't stand it."

Guoqiang raised his whip, the horse spread out his four hooves, and ran forward. Jingya waved her hands behind her until the carriage was out of sight.

The days passed like water, and in a blink of an eye, it was already August. Jinghan thought about Zixuan every day and couldn't get excited about anything. Jingxian looked at her and knew that she had something to do, so she wouldn't come to Jinghan for ordinary things.

The Lin Xingjia came to the mountain that day and brought the new fruit wine from the winery. "Come on, Jinghan, come and taste the wine brewed by uncle and see how it looks?"

Jinghan took the jar and opened the lid on it. A rich fruity aroma mixed with the aroma of wine floated out. If the dates themselves were to rot, they would produce a smell of wine, so after adding some ingredients, the smell of wine became even stronger. Jinghan took a sip of the aroma and said, "It smells so fragrant, Uncle Lin, you are so amazing, you actually brewed the wine."

"Hahaha, this is actually really simple, and you don't have to worry too much. I brewed more than 1,000 kilograms of fruit wine this time. I sent it to Baiweilou before coming and let Manager Sun taste it. He said it was pretty good, and there was no need for the poor wine brewed by the grain, and I asked all the wines to be asked. I thought you hadn't tasted this wine yet, so I brought some for everyone to try it." Lin Xingjia smiled proudly. The secret recipe for the Lin family's winemaking is really useful.

Xue found a few bowls and placed them on the table. Jinghan poured the wine into the bowl and asked her father and Wen Chengdu to taste it. In fact, Jinghan wanted to taste it in person, but how could she dare in front of her future father-in-law?

However, Xingjia didn't care about it at all. He got a bowl of wine and put it in front of Jinghan. "Jinghan, come, you can try it too. Manager Sun said that this wine is more suitable for women to drink. Please help uncle taste it and see how this wine is."

Jinghan had to pick up the bowl and take a sip. The wine felt very soft in her mouth, and the rich fruity aroma contained the wine aroma, which was quite good. Moreover, the sour and sweet taste was indeed more suitable for women to drink, but the degree of this wine may not be low, and ordinary people would also get drunk.

"Uncle Lin, the taste of this wine is really good. Congratulations to Uncle Lin, you can make such good wine. By the way, it is not only jujubes, but also mountain grapes can make wine. This is the time when mountain grapes are ripe. Uncle Lin might as well try it. Maybe it can really make another wine." Jinghan didn't dare to drink too much, but just sucked it twice. After wiping his mouth with a veil, Jinghan made another suggestion.

"I'll just say it, I'll come up with a good idea when you find it. Since you say it can work, I'll try it. There are grapes all over the mountains and fields, and the children in the village have free time to do it. This is simple." Xingjia clapped his hands happily, and he really liked Jinghan's daughter-in-law. "By the way, your father said he would give you the part of the winery as a dowry. When he comes back, I'll bring the account here and see. Our winery has not distributed dividends since last year."

"Uncle Lin, why are you still so polite? Isn't mine just Zixuan's? Put it in the winery, collecting more food in autumn is important. If we want to make money, it is not only a secret recipe, but also a production capacity." Jinghan shook her head and smiled. She was just enjoying the feeling of making money, and she didn't have to figure out every penny.

"Don't, this dowry is a dependence on women. The court has a clear provision of law. Women's dowry can only be left to children, and the people from the in-laws cannot occupy it. Besides, our family does not lack the 30% of your members, so you should take care of it yourself." Xing's family waved his hand, and he clearly divided this.

Since he said so, Jinghan would not refuse and said that he could just look at the accounts and just keep the money in the winery to turn around.

Lin Xingjia was thinking about the winemaking of mountain grapes that Jinghan said, so after eating here at noon, he hurried back. This season is a good time for mountain grapes to mature, and the autumn harvest has not yet begun, and the children can also have the opportunity to go up the mountain to pick them. So Xingjia asked Guoping and others to go out to help harvest mountain grapes.

This mountain grape is easier to pick than a date, so the price is slightly lower. However, this thing is large, and it is easy to get 40 or 50 kilograms a day, and it is not very tiring for children to get 100 kilograms a day. One hundred kilograms is a considerable amount for a rural child. Although this money may not be all kept in the hands of the children, there are still some benefits for a lot of them, so it is very smooth to acquire mountain grapes.

The village agreed to start the baton on August 12th this year, so that it can be linked to the land collection. When the baton is finished, women are working at home and men can go to the land collection. Autumn is a season for busy people, and these work must be done one by one, and they must be done slowly.

Zhixin looked at the crops in the fields and felt that the soybeans were not dry yet. It was just right after the bait was raised. The Xu family still had about 70 acres of land this year, and the family had enough staff, so there was no need to worry.

On August 12th, everyone in the village came to play tricks, and of course, those servants in the yamen were indispensable. Everyone was really angry with these people, but there was no way, so they couldn't fight against the court, right?

Of course, the Xu family doesn't have to hand over the sticks this year. The 45-meter-long sticks have raised a total of about 900 kilograms. The old man also came to the mountain in advance. Looking at the several sacks of sticks in the field, the old man was so happy that he kept laughing.

After the bastard was raised, Xue led Li and the others to start making bastards. Jinghan led Honglian and the others to follow him, so he would do it faster.

Zhixin took the male servants in the family to collect land. The land was not too much for seventy acres, and they were all strong laborers. They were all taken back in a few days. There was a large open space next to the Xu family's new house, just to dry the grain in autumn, so all the grain was placed here. Zhixin took the people and processed the samples and then took them to the warehouse.

The Mid-Autumn Festival passed in a busy life. This year, Wenhan went to the provincial examination, while Wenxuan and Wenchang went to the school examination, and the family was a little deserted. So the old man discussed it with the old lady and said that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be enough to make up for the children and wait for the children to come back to have a good fun.

On August 18th, Jingya's stomach suddenly hurts so much. Now the Yue family is bustling. After three or four hours of trouble, Jingya gave birth to a fat boy.

Yue Siyuan was so happy that he quickly asked his wife to give the midwife a big red envelope. Since Pengcheng had not come back yet, he had to send the servants at home to report the news everywhere.

The Xu family was the first to receive the news. When the old lady heard that her granddaughter had a child, she was even more happy. She quickly sent someone to the mountain to report the good news and asked Xue and the others to come back quickly and prepare to wash the child three times.

Jinghan and Jingxian heard this good news on the mountain, and they were still staying there and had to come back with them, so the whole family returned to the town.
