The woman of Scorpio is a rare treasure

  The grain carts formed a long line, and the people of Xiaquan Village, as well as those from Changmu Village, were all busy with their faces flushed. Even those carrying grain sacks on their backs would greet Bainamei with a "hello".

  Not only is there grain, but also five kinds of grain, which is the intention of the Lu family to Bai Minghe. After all, Bai Minghe is a scholar, and he didn't have any grudges in the first place. It's a good thing to establish some good relationships, but it's just a hundred stones of grain, the Lu family doesn't take these things seriously.

  Bai Minghe thus became a hero in Xiaquan Village at this time.

  Bai Menghu used his own strength to stir up the old grudges of these 32 villages in the eight-mile area.

  Especially that one sentence, "If the problem of the 32 villages in Bali and Sanli is not solved, I swear not to participate in the imperial examination", shocked several tens of li around Fangyuan.

  What is a celebrity? This is a celebrity!

  Lanterns are hung and couplets are pasted to prepare for the Spring Festival. Even in a poor rural village, there is still a festive atmosphere during the New Year.

  Lai Shui County is less than 40 miles from Xiaquan Village, and Lu's family personally sent someone to the county to send the previously prepared plan that had been sealed, including the reasons for the failure, to Bai Minghe.

  The yamen of the prefecture did not have the face to let the Lu family open the document repository on New Year's Day.

  Followed Sun Yuankun back home, the fragrance was already smelled from afar. The village had slaughtered a chicken and sent the largest and plumpest one to Sun Yuankun's place for Bai Minghe to stew, along with several liang of distilled spirits and some other dried dishes.

  Dahai brought hot water for Baimenghe to wipe his face, and Sun Yuangjun said: "I heard from the person who reported the news that originally, the Lu family only let you write a letter by hand, but you left behind that treasure mirror."

  "You don't understand!" Bai Minghe smiled mysteriously.

  Bai Minghe didn't explain, but he understood in his heart. The first reason was that the smelly character dared to write characters? Another reason is deeper, a copper mirror, placed here no one knows, but placed in Lu's house will be more and more divine. Things will become more and more valuable. Bai Minghe believed that in the great Ming dynasty, there was still no one who dared to openly rob people of their belongings.

  Of course, using force to coerce someone, and forcing them to buy something is entirely possible.

  But when this thing was spreading like wildfire, even the strong buyers were gone. In the end, it just became a tool for self-proclaimed princesses. This, of course, couldn't be said to Sun Yuanchun, so he started planning, and decided to deceive a princess into becoming his concubine.

  A sentence you don't understand, in Bai Menghe's view this sentence is very normal. But Sun Yuangjun was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her small silver teeth clenched tightly, but as his wife, she couldn't go and question her husband, which made people even angrier. Sun Yuangjun lowered her head, thinking about how to bite Bai Menghe back.

  "Hey, I've heard of something called 'husband'?" Bai Minghe washed his face and said to Sun Yuangun: "I'm hungry!"

  Sun Yuanjun clenched his silver teeth, serving Bai Minghe rice while saying: "The Three Bonds refer to the ruler as the bond of the minister, the father as the bond of the son, and the husband as the bond of the wife. I really don't know how you, a scholar, passed your exams."

  "My head was hit by a stone." Bai Minghe didn't feel anything wrong at all.

  The bowl was brought forward, it was a bowl of chicken soup with some dried vegetables inside. Next to it was a piece of mixed flour pancake, which for an ordinary small household, this was already a good meal for the New Year.

  Bai Minghe moved his chopsticks and was stunned.

  There's only one chicken head and half a chicken claw in this chicken soup, it's almost just a clear broth.

  "This...” Bai Minghe saw that there was a whole chicken in the sand pot, but what he got for himself was just this little bit. He was about to ask a few questions, but then looked at Sun Yuangui eating, with only half a chicken claw, and then all clear soup, and the miscellaneous flatbread he ate was even blacker than his own.

  Alas! Bai Minghe let out a long sigh.

  He didn't know that Sun Yuanjun did it on purpose. Who let you pretend to be so profound, White Crane? The conversation was cut off halfway with a sentence: "You don't understand." It's worth noting that Scorpio women are very vengeful and love to play cold wars.

  "Boil some rice to eat, or have a plain pancake." Bai Minghe made a request to Sun Yuankun.

  "There are still many days ahead, and we can't just eat today and ignore tomorrow." Sun Yuanjun refused. Anyway, she had gotten used to the hardships over the years.

  Bai Minghe continued: "Believe it or not, within ten days of being your husband, I can make you have one hundred taels of silver."

  "Can we eat rice and noodles after those ten days?" Sun Yuanjun was asking, but in fact she was telling Bai Minghe that if he wanted to eat well today, forget it.

  "He is a hero of Xiaguang Village!" Bai Minghe immediately changed his train of thought.

  Sun Yuanjun remained unmoved: "Husband, you have merit, and when the time comes for your achievement to be recognized, the village will surely build a pavilion in your honor. But for now, nothing has been resolved. Borrowing grain is still something that needs to be repaid, and although I'm young, today I heard from the messenger some things about the past of Balian Santashi Village."

  This woman is so stubborn...

  No, this woman is a Scorpio, Bai Minghe finally reacted. This was him venting his anger on himself.

  "This Yuankun, do you know why Husband left the copper mirror for the Lu family?" Bai Minghe had a smile on his face. Sun Yuankun suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Minghe, but immediately lowered his head again and said in a low voice: "Husband's decisions are something I don't understand, and even if I heard it, I'm afraid I wouldn't understand."

  This son of a bitch is really stubborn.

  Bai Menghuo was from a later generation after all, although they hadn't truly gotten married, it wasn't like they hadn't ever been in love either.

  At this moment, hehe smiled: "If you really have no interest, I won't tell you. This is a great plan, related to whether or not you can be crowned as the lady!"

  Upon hearing the two words "Mrs.", all of Sun Yujun's persistence and stubbornness instantly vanished, her eyes filled with expectation staring at Bai Minghe. Bai Minghe directly ignored the birthmark on Sun Yujun's face, these eyes were truly too beautiful, another characteristic of Scorpios is their enchanting charm.

  "Two pieces of jade from another world..." Bai Minghe first told the story of two stamps, only replacing the stamps with jade. Then he continued: "The treasure in our hands is not a treasure. Only a big family like Lu's can make people recognize this treasure and make its value soar to hundreds or thousands of times. We are the real winners!"

  Sun Yuanjun was also well-read in poetry and books, and the title of "female master" was not called in vain.

  After some thought, it's clear that Bai Menghu is playing a very clever trick.

  At the moment, the contents of both bowls were poured out and replaced with a sand pot, as well as some previously prepared white noodles. A whole chicken was placed in front of Bai Minghe: "It's New Year's, husband should eat better, today is really tiring." Sun Yuanchun said many more caring words.

  Bai Minghe was sweating all over his head and his heart was also filled with cold sweat. Were the following days going to be a constant battle of wits and bravery?

  On New Year's Day, this day is used to worship ancestors. Although Bai Minghe has the surname Bai, he is actually the maternal uncle of the Sun family and also a holder of the imperial examination degree, so naturally he stands beside the elder uncle of the clan.

  Women in the Great Ming Dynasty were not low in status, and Sun Yuanchun was also rising with the tide, standing in a secondary position.

  The worship thing, Bai Minghe also barely completed it under Sun Yuanchun's reminder.

  On New Year's Day 2, Bai Minghe dared not stay at home anymore. He wanted to go and take a look at the situation around him, including the artificial canal and the spring water.

  The donkey is the first walking tool, and in addition to this, there are eight sturdy young men following behind, carrying the disassembled two-person stretcher on their backs. This is for when the donkey can't walk on a road, they can carry White Crane instead. The reason is simple: as people in the village think, Master Hui would naturally not have so much energy to walk mountain roads.

  Canal, what the heck is this canal?

  The Bai Minghe River is cursing, this is actually a canal, two zhang wide and one zhang deep. In the winter dry season, flat-bottomed boats can be used to transport four shi of rice, with two people on board, normally navigating in water over one chi deep.

  How can such a large amount of water possibly be insufficient for irrigation?

  Bai Minghe sat on a dismantled chair, watching the leaves slowly moving on the waterway, silently calculating the approximate amount of water in his heart.

  "White Aunt, this water will rise again in a few days. But for all the fields in our Xiaquan Village to cut off all the water flow, it will take two days to irrigate all the land. However, it is impossible to only irrigate once, and we will have to come again in a few days."

  After listening to this member of the Sun family, Bai Minghe also stopped calculating the water flow.

  Just by the number of days, this water looks deep, but it's actually flowing very slowly, which means there is little water. These thirty-two villages, even if one village has water for a day, all the other villages will still die of drought.

  The amount of water required per mu is quantifiable, and how many days to irrigate once can also be modeled mathematically.

  In the watercourse, the amount of water sinking into the ground can all be calculated.

  However, this is the Great Ming, not modern times. Bai Menghuo didn't have that many methods to calculate this, and could only rely on his intuition to come up with an approximate figure.

  The next whole day, Bai Minghe let the Sun family lead, running all over the mountains.

  Can't help but admire the physical strength of the ancients. Bai Minghe was exhausted and speechless after sitting on a slide, but these young people were still spirited.

  Before nightfall, I finally arrived at the upper reaches of this canal, a waterway in the mountains.

  A valley, a quarry abandoned for many years since the early Yongle years when Beijing was built, now overgrown with weeds. The villagers of Xiaquan Village are carrying a white crane, just passing through here, about two miles northwest is the highest point of the river course.

  "Halt!" shouted Bai Menghu suddenly.

  The head of Xiaquan Village didn't understand why, but they still followed Bai Jiu's orders.

  Bai Minghe stood at the top of the valley, thinking that this valley was absolutely usable. Thinking of this, Bai Minghe prepared to walk into the valley, but was blocked by several tribesmen: "Bai Gongye, going into the mountain is not arranged, and it's about to get dark, there are not only wolves in the mountain, but also wild boars!"

  Bai Minghe hesitated for a moment, but didn't want to go back now and decided to come again tomorrow.

  At this time, a wisp of smoke rose from the valley.
