Chapter 124(1/2)
Lin was puzzled, and his daughter was so good, so he asked, "Why don't you say it?"
"I think I'm not worthy of him." Lin Yiran replied listlessly.
"Ah..." Lin was stunned.
Lin Yiran said: "So what use do you think they are good!"
Lin sighed and said, "No, didn't you say he likes you."
"Two things, I'm!"
Lin frowned and said, "Then let's do what we should do as soon as possible, but he can't delay it."
"I understand, I'm!"
Lin looked at his daughter worriedly. It was really hard to marry when he was bad, and it was really hard to marry when he was good.
Lingguo Xianfei Palace
The second prince and his uncle Chunpinghou sat in the side hall. The news from Youfu County made them look gloomy. All the killers they sent were wiped out, and the plan to kill Xia Zongze failed again.
"Uncle, what should we do?"
Chunpinghou's eyes were numb, and his two fingers were rubbing around his hands, "Don't be anxious, my uncle will definitely clear the obstacles for you."
"Uncle, you always say that, but now, neither Xia Zongze nor Qin Wuju are alive yet." The second prince shouted dissatisfiedly.
Chunpinghou looked at his nephew, "Xia, Qin and the two fought to the death, didn't you see?"
The second prince was extremely unhappy by Chunpinghou's gloomy gaze and bulged his mouth at him.
Chunpinghou's eyes became even more gloomy.
Prince of Lingguo
Prince Ling stood at the Lang and received a letter from Fei Ge. He opened the wax stick and took a look. He found that the news was not the news he wanted. He suddenly put his hand behind and failed again. Could it be that Ling Guo would be... He was unwilling to accept it?
Taipingzhai
In the evening, the Taiping Village was very lively. The women began to put their specialty dishes on the long table in the conference hall one by one. In less than half an hour, almost all the more than 100 families in the village took out their own dishes. The children ran around the table, peeking at the side dishes they thought about from time to time. They snatched them while the adults were not paying attention. They were chased by the adults.
Uncle Zhu and Auntie Zhu and Aunt Tian saw that each household brought the dishes over, walked around the long table, and greeted each household. Seeing that everyone's wishes were all here, they nodded with satisfaction.
Aunt Tian was still happy. Her daughter-in-law made a pasta dish today, which was very outstanding and was placed as a sacrifice on the main seat. She was so happy that she didn't bother her mouth.
Uncle Zhu's family is alone, and while he is happy, he feels sad. It would be great if his wife or sons were alive. Maybe he could enjoy today's feast, but it's a pity...
Uncle Zhu walked out of the door of the conference hall with his hands behind his back and looked outside. He was about to ask someone to call Lin Yiran, but everyone on the mountain ridge came and greeted him happily when he saw him.
Dai Xiaoliu and others who were chatting at the door were waiting for Lin Yiran. When they saw her coming, they stood up and smiled and shouted, "Miss Lin, you are here!"
Lin Yiran smiled at them, "It's cold outside, everyone goes in!"
"We'll go in immediately." Dai Xiaoliu replied with a smile, but his steps did not move. The villagers who were chatting in front of the Cave of the Conciliation Hall unknowingly made a way to make Lin Yiran advance.
Lin Yiran realized it and immediately turned around and shouted, "Uncle Zhu, please please!"
"Miss Lin, come first!" Uncle Zhu immediately replied humbly.
Lin Yiran still said, "Uncle, you are an elder, come first!"
Uncle Zhu smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Zhu, today I won't discuss matters, only talk about the elders and young people!"
"You kid..." Uncle Zhu said to Lin Deshuan, "Brother Lin, since we only talk about the elders and the younger generation, let's have two brothers together!"
Lin Deshuan waved his hand with a shy face, "Uncle Zhu, come, come..."
Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Dad, don't give in to Uncle Zhu. If this happens, the dishes on the table will be so cold!"
The honest Lin Deshuan heard that the food on the table was about to be cold, so he quickly followed Uncle Zhu into the meeting hall, without realizing that his father was already expensive by his daughter!
Lin followed behind and felt bright. The Lin family had already gained a place in the troubled times with their daughter, and their joy was revealed on their faces and they were satisfied.
Uncle Zhu and Lin Deshuan entered the meeting hall side by side, Lin Yiran and Ling Qixuan followed closely, and Lin and Mr. Du followed in.
After the main members of Taiping Village entered the meeting hall, the formal sacrifice to the heavens and the gods began. The people of Taiping Village followed Zhu and Lin and knelt on the heavens and the gods, thanking God and the gods for their blessings, which allowed Taiping Village to have a good harvest and happiness.
After worshiping the gods, Uncle Zhu asked Lin Yiran to say a few words, but Lin Yiran did not refuse. She really wanted to tell everyone about the plans for the coming year so that everyone could know what they wanted.
Lin Yiran stood in the middle of the altar and faced everyone with a calm expression, with a peaceful expression and majesty. He said with a sufficient sense of energy, "Two months ago, I told you that in the next year, our Taiping Village will build terraces, build houses, raise chickens and feed pigs. Do you still remember it?"
"Of course I remember!" Geng Musheng was the first to shout, "We are all waiting, Miss Lin."
"Everyone just wait." Lin Yiran smiled, "I'm afraid everyone won't remember."
"No, Lin's family, I, Niu Deli, can count on sharing the land, growing grain, selling silver and getting married."
"So too, Lin's head of the family, I, Liu Songshan, are waiting!"
...
Everyone was waiting to divide the land, grow grain, sell silver and get married, and they were full of energy.
Lin Yiran's name is legitimate and no one doubts.
Lin Yiran nodded, "It's good for everyone to have this motivation, but you should know that it's not so easy to do it. Can you endure this hardship?"
"Can I have to suffer from any pain in my body without covering my body and food without covering my belly?"
"Yes, as long as you can eat and wear a lot, no matter how hard or tired you are, what's the point of being?"
"Okay, I, Lin Yiran, will listen to everyone's words. As long as everyone is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, I can make everyone eat and wear warmth, and even Yu Yin is a small landlord."
"Lin's boss said it well, we must be small landlords."
Lin Yiran said to the village people with confidence: "Okay, the freezing of the first month has not yet been resolved, so we will follow Brother Ling to practice protecting the village. After the dragon lifts on February 2, we will start building terraces. After all the grain is planted, we will start building our own houses in Cangqiu Mountain. I believe that by the end of next year, almost all of us will live a life of having enough food to eat and have surplus silver!"
Amid everyone's cheers, the New Year's Eve dinner in Taiping Village finally kicked off with everyone's expectations.
Su Dayi and Dai Xiaoliu and others moved out the wine sold from the county town. The men drank and played with the chess and women ate and chatted. The whole meeting hall was very lively inside and outside.
After half of the meal, Lin Yiran and Ling Qixuan left the dining table. They took a few people to the village lookout table to replace the people on duty and asked them to go to dinner.
Standing at the highest observation deck in Taiping Village and looking at the dark night, everything seemed quiet and mysterious.
"Brother Ling, how do you feel after reading my training plan?"
Ling Qixuan turned to look at Lin Yiran, "It's pretty good, I even think it's better than my grandfather's."
Lin Yiran shook her head, "My things are all things on paper, and they cannot be compared with your grandfather's actual combat."
Ling Qixuan said: "I know, I think if you train according to your things, there is no difference between them and soldiers. If their qualities are good enough, they may even be regular soldiers."
Lin Yiran looked at the dark night sky and said with emotion: "Maybe, this time the Youfu County support incident made me realize that the guards in the village could only fight some small bandits. If one day a large bandit came, we might be wiped out."
Ling Qixuan replied: "Your concern is right. Taiping Village has a good meal and clothing every day, and it is impossible for it to be without a glimpse. You must have the ability to protect yourself. If you do not protect yourself, it is better to let them maintain the status quo. Otherwise, it is not to help them, but to harm them."
Lin Yiran nodded.
The two young men stood in the observation deck and talked a lot about the future of Taipingzhai. They talked about themselves from Taipingzhai and from themselves to the future. They were full of hope for their lives.
The footsteps of the New Year have not only come with the hopes of the two young people, but also with the hopes of many people.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xia Zongze finally returned to the capital of Ningguo under the expectation of Prince Ning. He went to the palace without even returning to his own mansion.
Mr. Fan and others were not qualified to follow up, they each went home.
Fan Xiaochan was waiting at the main entrance. When she saw her father coming back, she lifted her skirt and trotted to her father. She was as happy as a bird and bowed to her father, "Father, you are back!"
Mr. Fan was in a state of mortality, but in good spirits. He nodded happily when he saw his daughter, and said, "It's cold outside, just be at home, what are you doing when you come out!"
"The father worked hard outside and his daughter met the door, which was one ten thousandth of that of his father."
After hearing his daughter's thoughtful words, Mr. Fan, who worked hard, felt very comforted and helped her to salute her daughter, "I am a sensible and good child, and I am very pleased with my father."
"Father, I have worked hard all the way, come in and rest quickly!"
"well!"
Fan Xiaochan held Mr. Fan's arm intimately, helped him into the yard, and chatted with him casually while walking, "Father, I heard from the prince that the third prince won the battle again, and he won the more with less, right, father?"
Mr. Fan nodded and replied: "That's right!"
"Wow, the third prince is indeed the God of War in our Ningguo, and he is much better than the Crown Princess's brother."
Mr. Fan shook his head slightly, "Xiao Chan, don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes, father!" Fan Xiaochan said as if, "Father, you have lost weight again!"
“It’s always like this when you go out!”
"Father, my daughter wants to follow you and help you cook hot food. You always feel sorry for your daughter is young and will not let her follow you. Now that my daughter has grown up, she can always follow her father."
Mr. Fan was about to reject his daughter's wishes, but suddenly the incident of Lin Yiran cooking for Ning Zu in Youfu County suddenly appeared in his mind. It seemed that a woman was good. She thought for a while and nodded, "If you have learned almost all the etiquette of your rituals, I really want to take you out for the prince and for the father."
Fan Xiaochan shouted in surprise: "Really, father?"
"Um."
"That's great, father, daughter can finally be filial!"
Mr. Fan said helplessly: "You, do you think it's so fun outside?"
Fan Xiaochan acts coquettishly: "Father——"
