Chapter 512
Chu Lixiang was very attached to Jiang Xinyan, and Jiang Zihao was also very attached to his sister. The two stood on either side of Jiang Xinyan, and occasionally glared at each other.
Song Mingjiang told them to go out and play, because Jiang Zihao was not familiar with them, and Chu Lixiang was afraid that Jiang Zihao would take away his sister-in-law.
But the two of them are very smart and don't quarrel. They stare at each other twice at most, and Jiang Xinyan wants to laugh when she looks at them.
Jiang Xinyan chatted with her grandmother, grandmother, and Jinniang for half an hour, Chu Lixiang stood beside him pouring tea and water, and occasionally added a few words to make everyone laugh.
Jiang Zihao was different. He didn't know any of the people here, so he couldn't intervene, but he wasn't bothered at all, he really wanted to know everything about his sister.
That's why he especially likes to listen to everyone's greetings to his sister. When Shitai Jinghui learned that she was her grandson, Shitai, who had cultivated herself for most of her life, also burst into tears.
He took Jiang Zihao's hand and refused to let it go, "Child, you have endured hardship, and you will live here with your sister in the future."
"Thank you, Master." Jiang Zihao was very surprised that his sister's master actually liked him!
"Brother Xiang, it's still early for dinner. You call Xu Feng to drive the carriage and take Brother Zihao to pick the mansion. We will all move tomorrow."
Jiang Xinyan couldn't see her grandmother's sadness, and when she was still tearful at her age, she put away Jiang Zihao first.
"Okay, brother Zihao, we will live in a new home tomorrow. Sister-in-law, I have a book boy and a servant, but brother Zihao doesn't have one. Can I give him one?"
Chu Lixiang stared back, but he also knew that Jiang Zihao was his elder sister-in-law's younger brother, and he wanted to be nice to him.
"Two people around you are not enough. Last time Wei Dabin bought a group of maids and servants in Youzhou City for training. Tomorrow Zihao will pick a few people, and if you see suitable ones, pick two more." Jiang Xinyan instructed them.
"Hey, listen to the elder sister-in-law, as long as brother Zihao has it, let's go pick the yard first."
"Zihao's mansion will be next to you and Zheng's mansion. Go and choose the mansion first, then your brother-in-law will help you paint the interior and choose it for you. Tomorrow, I will move to Xiang's and Zheng's place to choose. Live in a yard first."
Jiang Xinyan was worried that Jiang Zihao lived alone in an empty mansion. They had not grown up yet, so they could live in one mansion first, and then they could be separated when they got married.
"Okay! There are still several yards in my mansion. Let's go, Brother Zihao, you can choose the yard."
Ha ha! It's best to live with me, so that you won't have the opportunity to occupy the eldest sister-in-law alone, Chu Lixiang is still a little careful.
He took Jiang Zihao very actively and went to his mansion to choose a yard. Jiang Zihao left with Chu Lixiang like a dream.
The people here are so nice! On the way, he began to rhetorically: "Brother Xiang, are your elder brother and elder sister-in-law the masters of this castle?"
"Not at all!"
Jiang Zihao: "..." Isn't it? Then why does everyone here listen to his brother-in-law and sister!
"Brother Zihao, this Xuanyan City belongs to my eldest sister-in-law alone, and my eldest brother also belongs to my eldest sister-in-law. We are all from my eldest sister-in-law."
Chu Lixiang patted his little chest and said arrogantly, anyway, the eldest sister-in-law's is his, and he would rather all this belong to his eldest sister-in-law, not his eldest brother's best.
It's too scary for his elder brother to not have his elder sister-in-law by his side. With his elder sister-in-law around, they are no longer afraid of his elder brother.
Jiang Zihao: "..." The little brat is really not cute, and he was startled by not writing an article but dividing his speech into paragraphs.
When they walked to Suzaku Street together, Jiang Zihao already knew everything he should know, his sister and brother-in-law were really amazing.
It turned out that he had raised so many people. Knowing that his brother-in-law was so powerful, he regretted that he did not pick up some refugees on the road.
For such a large castle, there were less than 80,000 people, so it was no wonder that his sister and brother-in-law were going to support the Zhenxi Army.
If the gates of the city are breached by Western Chu, and a large number of people have to die, then the population will be even smaller. It would be better if there was no war!
Jiang Zihao escaped hard all the way, and he has been painting a painting of Dongchen Kingdom's rivers and mountains in his heart. There are not many ink spots and tears, and the mountains and rivers are about to shatter.
He had been starving to death a few days ago, and in his dreams he was thinking that it would be great if the heaven sent an immortal to stop the war and distribute some food for everyone to eat.
Now that he heard that his brother-in-law and sister had more than enough food to eat, he wanted to stop the war immediately, and all the refugees who fled from the famine came to Xuanyan City to help his sister farm.
"Brother Zihao has arrived, what are you thinking? I've called you several times." Chu Lixiang shook Jiang Zihao's arm dissatisfied with wide eyes.
"Brother Xiang, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now, wow! This is your mansion? It's bigger than our Prime Minister's mansion!" Jiang Zihao was stunned.
"Brother Zihao, the opposite row has already been selected by the generals. You can only choose this side. Do you choose the mansion first or go to my mansion first to select the courtyard?"
"Go ahead and pick a yard in your house. We will move in tomorrow, and the rest is not in a hurry." Jiang Zihao is still a very measured person.
He has been under the guidance of his Prime Minister's father since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a stable boy, not to mention that he is extremely smart, so no matter how shocked he is, he will soon accept the truth.
The next day, all the people in the castle were busy moving, and their homemade firecrackers and fireworks were very lively.
Another feast of nine plates and ten bowls, happy to celebrate everyone's housewarming, Xu Feng rewarded two drumsticks, and Dai Yuntao took his subordinates to add a drumstick.
Others just eat braised chicken nuggets, because there are not enough chicken legs, no one is jealous of them, just thinking that they will be the ones who will try to add chicken legs next time.
Jiang Xinyan and his wife had been busy for a few days, so they took everyone to count the tools for harvesting the rice. They started preparing before they went to Yumen Pass.
Everyone is gearing up to harvest the rice, which is the fruit of their labor and their hope.
At this time, the scenery inside the castle was completely incomparable with the scenery outside. The outside was barren and overgrown with weeds.
Everyone felt that the sky in their castle was extraordinarily high, extraordinarily blue, with white clouds floating on the high blue sky.
Under the blue sky are the rice fields that can't be seen at a glance. The early rice has already begun to ripen, and the yellow and orange are like a floor of gold.
Everyone took stock of the newly struck sickle, the newly made rice threshing machine, and the newly made windmill. This is the standard for harvesting rice during the double rush.
The paddy threshing machine is a pedal paddy machine made in early later generations. It is mainly used for threshing rice. It consists of a rectangular open wooden barrel, pedals, gears, bearings and rolling cores.
It's impossible to use a modern, slightly advanced electric rice threshing machine, let alone a harvester.
Because there is no electricity, it is very good that Jiang Xinyan can make a foot paddy machine...
