At sunset, in the southeast of Pheasant County, six fast horses galloped over.

Led by a young man in a cyan suit of about twenty, with a handsome face, a middle-aged man and a girl in a light blue dress beside him, followed by three cloth armor soldiers with tigers and bears.

These six people came from a long distance, and they saw the city wall of the county from afar, so they were all relieved to slow down their horses and enter the city, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw it, and shouted loudly to drive all the villagers who blocked the road away, and let the six people pass quickly.

The six people went straight to the county office, and after dismounting, the three soldiers packed their horses and luggage, and the middle-aged man took the young man and the girl straight into the county office.

After a busy day, Jiangbei Pavilion was about to pack up his paperwork and go to the small courtyard to rest.

"Sir! We're back! The middle-aged man hurriedly saluted after entering the lobby.

"Meet my father!" The young man in the power suit also hurriedly knelt down and saluted excitedly.

"I've seen Daddy!" The girl pouted and was upset.

"Hey, Xing'er Yue'er, why are you here together?" Jiang Beiting was amazed, dropped the bamboo slip in his hand and stood up.

"Dad, my mother ordered me to send my little sister here, here is a letter written by my uncle, you may know it at a glance!" After the young man stood up, he opened a package on his back, took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Jiangbei Pavilion.

Jiangbei Pavilion untied the hemp rope that tied the bamboo slips, opened it and only looked at a few words, his face changed greatly, and after closing it, he said: "Qingshan, you take Yue'er to wash and rest, and Xing'er will go to the study with me!" ”

"Hmph~, what's mysterious and mysterious to hide from me." The girl's face was even more unhappy, she rolled her eyes at the young man's back, and followed the middle-aged man to the backyard to wash and rest sullenly.

"Sit!" In the study, after Jiang Beiting gave his son a cup of tea, he sat on the couch and slowly unfolded the bamboo slips, his face became extremely gloomy, and his beard and eyebrows trembled a little after reading it.

"Dad, what did the uncle say in the letter?" The young man couldn't help but ask.

"Alas!" After a long time, Jiang Beiting let out a long sigh and quickly read the letter again, "Your uncle said that it may be Prime Minister Li Si who is in the way, which made Zhao Fuling refuse Yue'er's marriage!" ”

"How is that possible?" The young man's hands trembled, and the teacups fell to the ground with a clatter.

This volume of letters has never been opened and read since Xianyang, after all, it is something specially told by the uncle and mother, so even girls and middle-aged people don't know it.

"I also feel that this matter is strange, Li Sigui is the left minister of Great Qin, how can it be ...... How could he be so bored that he would interfere in Yue'er's marriage, and my Jiang clan is also a Great Qin Wang clan, and I have no grievances with him, so it's strange...... It's too weird......" Jiang Beiting seemed to mumble to himself.

"That'...... So what did Uncle say? The young man stammered as he picked up the teacup.

"Your uncle said that Li Si went to the palace to see the emperor at noon, and the emperor called Zhao Gao after the afternoon court meeting, and soon Zhao Gao caught up with him on the way home and rejected Yue'er's marriage, Zhao Gao was originally a member of the royal family, and the Zongzheng Mansion also had a record of marrying him, even if the emperor didn't know about it, Zhao Gao would also tell him, how could he suddenly turn his face, if it wasn't for Li Si to make a hindrance, he would definitely not change the hexagram, you must know that this will make the Jiang family and his Zhao family become a fire and water, and they will not get along with each other!"

"You...... You say yes...... Was it Prime Minister Li Cheng who let the emperor's order disrupt the marriage of the little sister? The youth was even more surprised.

"Yes, your uncle guessed the same in the letter, otherwise Zhao Gao would not have done this, it would not have done him any good, this is ...... How can this be? Jiang Beiting was also confused in his heart, and he was silent for a long time before asking, "Are your mother and brothers okay?" ”

"Back to my father, my mother is fine, and my brother and fourth brother are also fine!" Hearing the inquiry about the situation at home, the young man quickly stood up and said.

"That's good, what did your mother say about Yue'er?"

"Mother said that my little sister can't stay in Xianyang anymore, so I asked me to send her to Pheasant County, so that you can help him find a family here, and ...... Don't go back to Xianyang in the future! The young man replied uneasily.

Jiang Beiting was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then stroked his beard vigorously, his face was blue and white for a while.

It can be said that because of this change, his only daughter's life was ruined, although this era is not particularly important to the mountain villager, but as an official eunuch and a famous family, it is still very important, and the marriage is the primary consideration, and once the daughter marries in Pheasant County, and then he will be transferred to other places to serve, the father and daughter may not have the opportunity to meet again in their lives, not to mention that according to the daughter's temperament, after getting married, the whole family will not be at peace.

Tangled! Jiangbei Pavilion was angry, angry and helpless.

Suddenly, the figure of a young man came to mind, along with the jade pendant.

Jiang Beiting hurriedly recalled the situation of meeting just now, and it seemed that he really didn't see the jade pendant that he gave to his daughter on his tenth birthday, and he never left his body on weekdays, and suddenly a strange idea resurfaced.

Could it be that her daughter and that Chen Xu have already ......

If this is the case, the daughter's marriage may be settled.

He repeatedly recalled in his mind how his daughter had behaved after seeing Chen Xu come back last time, and then thought of some details of his daughter's actions, and after weighing it in his heart, he still shook his head, waved his hand weakly and said: "Xing'er, you have worked hard all the way, and you should go to wash and rest first, let me think about this matter carefully." ”

"Yes, Xing'er is retired!" The young man bowed and then exited the study, leaving Jiang Beiting alone in front of the window in a daze.

After a long time, a gritted snort sounded in the gloomy room: "Li Spiff, you actually secretly interfered with my daughter's marriage, my Jiang clan and you will never give up!" ”

Some people are depressed and angry, but Qinghe Town, dozens of miles away, has been very lively and happy in recent days.

Every day, there is an endless stream of cattle and horses to collect bags of grain from the surrounding villages into the warehouse, with the summer grain harvest into the end, the autumn grain tax has been basically collected, just wait for all ready to send to the county seat to deliver even if the collection of summer grain tax is successfully completed, and this year's summer grain tax collection is also very smooth, there is no slightest mistake.

And the newly appointed Lord Xiao Li Dian has also been moving recently, summoning the town's carpenter and stonemasons to build a house with a yard and a large pergola on a wasteland in the west of the town, and at the same time asking You Gui, the doctor and the pavilion chief to inform the villagers to go out to dig various medicinal materials in their spare time, and the samples of the medicinal materials have been placed on a wooden board in the center of the town, and the purchase price is also indicated.

The root of Banlan is one money and three catties, the turmeric is one money and two catties, the skullcap is one money and one catty, the licorice is two dollars and one catty, the pu yellow powder is one money and one catty, the honey is twenty dollars and one catty, and the dried bamboo tubes of various calibers range from ten to twenty dollars......

The doctor also repeatedly instructed the villagers on the rules of harvesting, that all medicinal herbs should be sliced and dried, and that there should be no soil and so on.

Recently, many people have begun to look for and dig medicinal herbs in the fields and nearby mountains, and almost every household is full of all kinds of medicinal herbs being dried.

In the newly repaired pergola, a row of earthen stoves were built, on which were placed large and small clay pots, specially used to fry medicinal materials, and three new composite stone mills were also placed, and a huge stone mill was also being processed under the leadership of two stonemasons and several apprentices.

In this case, the people in the entire Qinghe Town were very busy, and when they met, they all asked how many catties of medicinal materials they had dug up today, and how much money they could earn.
