Chapter 652 Shortening the Gap

 On March 30th, Daohua knew that Xiao Yeyang was leaving, so she got up early and personally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for him: "Eat quickly, I'm afraid your birthday will be in Northern Xinjiang this year."

Passed."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

After breakfast, Xiao Yeyang went to say goodbye to Gu Jian. Gu Jian gave him some highly toxic drugs he had prepared, and after a few more words, he waved Daohua to see him off.

"I won't take away the people from the new house. If anything happens, just go to Deshou. He can contact Jin Lingwei here in Zhongzhou."

Xiao Yeyang led Daohua down the mountain, gave her careful instructions, and gave her his token to command Qianshi.

He didn't know how long it would take to go to Northern Xinjiang this time. He was really afraid that some unsighted people would bully Daohua during his absence.

Daohua looked at the token and asked: "What will you do if you gave the token to me? Don't you need to prove your identity to others?"

Xiao Yeyang laughed and said: "Do I still need a token to prove my identity?"

Seeing that he didn't care, Daohua stopped refusing and put the token in her purse.

Soon, the ferry arrived.

Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua: "Uncle, you have to take care of me."

Daohua glanced at him: "He is my master."

Thinking of being separated for several months or even longer, Xiao Yeyang was filled with reluctance. He stretched out his arms to hug Daohua tightly, buried his head in her neck and was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "Wait until I come back!"

Daohua's heart was also blocked at the moment, and she nodded: "When you go to Northern Xinjiang, you must be careful."

Xiao Yeyang took a deep breath, let go of the rice flowers, and got on the boat without looking back. When the boat started, he looked back at the people on the shore.

Daohua watched the boat go away silently, until the boat disappeared and could no longer be seen, then she turned around and returned to Taohua Temple.

Young lovers are most afraid of separation. Gu Jian was already ready to comfort his apprentice. Unexpectedly, as soon as his apprentice came back, Wang Maner came over with a lot of account books.

Daohua looked over the spring plowing conditions in each village and saw her master standing at the door looking straight at her, and asked in confusion: "Master, is something wrong?"

Gu Jian took a look at his apprentice's expression and felt that his worries were in vain. He hummed: "It's okay." After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and turned around to tend to the medicine field in the backyard.

Daohua was worried that Gu Jian would be immersed in pain again, so she quickly said: "Master, after I finish handling the spring plowing matters, you can teach me how to whip."

Gu Jian glanced at her and said lightly 'hmm'.

With something to do, Daohua had no time to think about it. After seeing the spring plowing conditions in several Zhuangzi, Wang Maner called Yan Shouhou.

"Have the two barren hills bought years ago been cleared out?"

Yan Shouhou nodded: "It has been cleared away, but the land that has been reclaimed is barren mountainous land. If we plant things on it, the yield may not be too high."

Daohua is not too worried: "It depends on what you plant."

Hearing this, Yan Shouhou thought of something and his eyes lit up: "Young lady, you want to grow potatoes on the mountain?"

Daohua smiled and nodded: "I have already prepared potato seeds here. You can quickly call in the day laborers and be sure to plant potatoes on both hills before mid-April."

Yan Shouhou nodded quickly: "I'll do it right away."

After waiting for the others to leave, Daohua put down her account book and couldn't help but become distracted while looking at the peach blossoms in the courtyard.

Although her mother-in-law made the decision and decided on her marriage to Xiao Yeyang, this does not mean that everything is fine.

In this ancient world where family status is important, the Yan family has a shallow foundation. She is marrying the son of a prince at a high level. Xiao Yeyang may not care, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is definitely not worthy of Xiao Yeyang.
p>

Three people become tigers. If you hear too much about some things, the person involved will definitely be affected. What she wants is an equal relationship between husband and wife, not some high-handedness and condescension.

But the identity gap between her and Xiao Yeyang is real. What she can do now is to shorten this gap as much as possible.

In this era, a woman's status is dependent on her family and her father and elder brothers.

She has no extravagant hopes for the Yan family, and her father and brother...

Although the eldest brother is already a civil servant, he still has a long way to go before he can become an official in the court.

Now the only one I can count on is my father.

In the past few years, although my father's political achievements have been good, and he is quite popular among the people because of his high-yielding grain seeds, but because the grain seeds have been promoted for a relatively short period of time, his reputation is limited to the surrounding areas of Zhongzhou, that is, among the many fourth-grade officials in Daxia.

There is nothing particularly conspicuous about one of them.

Furthermore, official promotion takes time to accumulate. Even if my father can be transferred to the capital after his term as the magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture expires, he will be promoted at most to a third-grade capital official.

Such a family background is still not enough to match the prince's son.

The official position cannot be promoted, and the accumulation of foundation cannot be completed overnight. Now, what she can do is to improve the reputation of the Yan family.

During this time, she heard Xiao Yeyang talk a lot about the situation in Northern Xinjiang. The Eight Kings conspired to rebel and seized the border city. This seemed to be a posture of long-term confrontation with the imperial court.

The war in northern Xinjiang will not subside so quickly.

War consumes money and food the most. At this time, what can be better than donating food to enhance your reputation and make it more widely known?

Thinking of this, Daohua got up and went down the mountain, walking around the village. She had accumulated a lot of seeds over the years, and now she has planted them. She thinks this year will be a good harvest.

Later, Daohua took Xiao Yeyang's place and became the target of the master's abuse. Although she was not as miserable as Xiao Yeyang, she was whipped several times every day.

Gu Jian controlled his strength, and there were no scars on Daohua's body when the whip was struck, but the pain was deep in his bones.

I nodded when I was tired, but Daohua's reaction speed, flexibility, and whipping skills were all significantly improved.

In the blink of an eye, May has entered.

After May 15th, the Yan Mansion began to be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Otherwise, May 20th is a happy day for Yan Wenxiu, the eldest son of the Yan family and his eldest grandson.

Mrs. Yan looked at Mrs. Li: "Have the arrangements for the Han family's relatives been arranged properly?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry, everything has been arranged properly. You will be able to see your grandson's wife in a few days."

Mrs. Yan nodded with a smile, and then said happily: "The date for Wen Xiu and Miss Han's marriage is really good, it just happened to be after Sister Gu's wedding time."

Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li agreed with their faces.

Other families don't know the identity of Grandma Gu, so it's understandable that they don't follow the rules, but if their family knows but doesn't abide by it, the emperor will definitely be dissatisfied.

Yan Zhigao smiled and said: "The boss's wife is a lucky one."

Mrs. Li smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Yan asked: "When will that girl Daohua come back?"

Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Li misses her very much. She has not seen her daughter for more than three months because she has to keep her filial piety to Mrs. Gu and take care of Mr. Gu. "I said I would come back today."

Mrs. Yan also missed her granddaughter and sighed: "Although Daohua and Yeyang's marriage has not been announced to the public, they have married each other after all, and they can be regarded as someone else's daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Li also sighed, who could say otherwise.
