Chapter 197 Two letters disturbed two hearts(3/4)

That night, the land leveling began, and Wang Yuan drew a sketch of a villa overnight.

Major construction has begun in the village, and craftsmen are working in two shifts.

On the other side, the three brothers Guo Cang, Guo Qiang and Guo Liang also went for a walk in the surrounding counties.

Not long ago, the barbarians invaded, and the counties took the opportunity to increase taxes, and there were people selling their children and daughters everywhere.

Every day the three of them went out, they would bring back dozens of people and place them in Sanhu Village.

Then Pingjian and Chang Sheng quietly went to Sanhu Village with carts of meat and grain.

Everything happens quietly!

Seven days passed by in a flash, and a group wedding was held for more than a dozen black-armored veterans!

New Year's Eve is here, and the whole village is bursting with joy!

The large dining hall was moved to the manor, and the women cooked rice and stewed meat together, and the aroma of meat filled the whole village.

Teenagers and young children clean the house, apply paste, put up Spring Festival couplets, and set off firecrackers.

Adults pay tribute, burn paper, and worship their ancestors.

Serve a well-cooked pig head and four hooves without salt, rice, and light two large red butter candles.

First, burn paper in the yard to offer sacrifices to heaven, and then kowtow three times and nine times under the altar table.

After Wang Yuan offered sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, Dahu brought out a basket of firecrackers, his face full of excitement!

"Let it go!"

Wang Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

Daye had firecrackers similar to those of later generations, but no one sold them in Fu County.

What Fuxian sells are firecrackers. The bamboo tubes are filled with saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. When they explode, they produce loud smoke.

I asked people to buy back the firecrackers and try them out. They found that the sound, smoke and light were very bad, but the effect was very poor.

Wang Yuan mixed some gunpowder, made some cannon twisters, and made firecrackers.

The villagers were shocked when he released it.

"okay!"

With permission, Dahu picked up a firecracker, lit it and threw it out!

The onlookers quickly covered their ears!

Bang bang!

Loud noise, fire, and smoke!

"Let me put one in!"

"Brother Tiger, let me put one in!"

"I want to let go too!"

Wang Sihai, Wang Ergou, Wang Tianterr, many villagers couldn't help but crowded forward one after another!

Dahu fired off firecrackers in distress, and the villagers set off the firecrackers cautiously!

Bang - bang!

The explosion spread throughout the village!

Some old people looked at it from a distance, with smiles on their faces. They laughed but cried.

In the past, not to mention firecrackers during the New Year, villagers couldn't afford them, so they just threw bamboo into the fire.

Now I finally have a decent year and live like a normal person.

Wang Yuan watched with a smile!

Suddenly, Guo Cang galloped over on his horse, shouting with joy: "My benefactor!"

"It's Chinese New Year. If you're not at home to celebrate the Chinese New Year, what are you doing here?"

Wang Yuan asked with a smile.

Three days before the Chinese New Year, all five factories are on holiday, and work will not resume until the eighth day of the new year.

Apart from building new villas, everyone else is idle!

However, he knew that the three Guo Cang brothers were not idle and were still buying people out every day.

"My benefactor, I went to the city today and there was a letter from the Li family in Zhoucheng. It seems to be from my wife!"

Guo Cang got off his horse, took out a letter from his arms, and held it in front of him with both hands.

"Shihan has a letter!"

Wang Yuan's eyes were bright and he quickly took the letter. He looked at the familiar Juanxiu boy and opened it quickly.

There were huge tigers all around, and many villagers held their breath, not daring to take a breath.

They all know how much Brother Yuan and Sister-in-law Shihan miss each other after being separated for so long.

Glancing at the handsome young man, Wang Yuan smiled, then gradually started to frown again.

"Husband, I welcome you!

After two months of separation, I have not seen my husband's face, and my family misses him day and night.

Three years ago, the Li family suffered a great disaster. No one in Fu County dared to marry a slave. Only the husband ignored the danger and married a slave. This kindness and love will never be forgotten by the slave family.

Therefore, after marriage, the husband often suffers humiliation, and the slave family does not change their original intention and swears to stay with her husband forever in this life.

However, your husband should not be greedy and want to take part in the great defeat of the deserters. If he fails to pass the imperial examination, he will never be used by the court.

Now that Your Majesty has abandoned her husband, if the Li family is related to her husband, they will be implicated sooner or later.

My father had a career full of ups and downs, and the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother Han Chuang studied hard for ten years.

The slave family can't bear that all their hard work has been wasted!

Therefore, I write this letter to inform my husband that our relationship as husband and wife is over now!

No need to come to Zhoucheng to welcome you again!

The slave family already has a good match, he is the governor of the state and city, and he has the reputation of being a civil servant!

I hope you respect yourself and don’t get entangled!”

Keenly noticing the change in Wang Yuan's expression, Guo Cang quickly asked: "My benefactor, what's wrong?"

All around, the big tigers also lowered their eyebrows, and they were keenly aware of this!

"Nothing, just a small matter, just deal with it later!"

Putting away the letter, Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Hurry up and go back to celebrate the New Year. No matter how late you are, you won't be able to catch the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Guo Cang rode away.

The other villagers in Dawang Village saw Wang Yuan smiling and didn't think much about it!

After setting off the firecrackers, the New Year’s Eve dinner begins!

The whole village gathered in the large manor and opened nearly a hundred tables, organized as families.

Of course, like Wang Ergou and some veterans, they all share the table together.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, New Year's money was distributed to the children, and the fuss lasted until midnight!

Returning to the old house, Wang Yuan stood in the yard, looking up at the stars!

"Cousin, are you worried? Why do I feel that you are unhappy?"

Zhao Qinghe walked out, holding a big cloak and draped it on Wang Yuan's shoulders.

"I miss you, sister-in-law Shihan!"

Wang Yuan wrapped himself in a big cloak, looked at his pretty and beautiful cousin, and sighed: "I haven't seen her for more than three months, and I don't know how she is doing in Zhoucheng!"

"I miss my sister-in-law Shihan, but you still want a little wife, you are such a philanderer!"

Zhao Qinghe hummed and turned around.

"Ahem!"

Wang Yuan's face turned red and he smiled: "Qinghe, my cousin is also an ordinary person!"'

"I don't blame you!"

Zhao Qinghe turned around and said with a blushing face: "Any man who is capable does not have three wives and four concubines, let alone you are so powerful! I have no objection to you marrying Miss Hu. The most unfilial thing is to have no offspring. You have been with your cousin for so long, so

If you don’t have a brother and a half-daughter, it’s right to renew your relationship. My father and I support you!”

"..."

Wang Yuan choked for words.

Women in this era are simply too tolerant towards capable men.
