LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 192 Go to the fiefdom
By May, the weather was warm and good news came from the border.
Not only were the three previously lost cities regained, but they also counterattacked two cities in Xihuang Kingdom.
It was equivalent to capturing five cities in a row.
For a time, both the government and the opposition were extremely excited.
Xue Qingsong and Chang Chun won successive victories. The Chang family's status was stable in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and those with small thoughts were suppressed.
Taking advantage of the improvement of the weather, the old lady suggested that everyone go out and relax.
Recently, I have been living in seclusion for a long time, and I have been feeling a little depressed.
The whole family naturally cheered.
There are many Zhuangzi in the Chang family, but when Mrs. Ning asked Long Baoer, Long Baoer thought for a while and asked Ning, "Auntie, does Long Baoer have a Zhuangzi?"
Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "Long Bao'er, that's not Zhuangzi, that's the fiefdom given to you by the Holy One."
The old lady also thought about this, "When the land was enfeoffed, people were allowed to open up wasteland for construction. To what extent has it reached now?"
"My wife doesn't pay much attention to this matter. I asked housekeeper Xiao Chen to call the steward to ask."
Ning said.
It's not that she is irresponsible, but this is Long Baoer's fiefdom. She, as the aunt, has a bad relationship. Chang Chun is responsible for this matter. She just found a few stewards to help.
However, in the past few months, Chang Chun led his troops on an expedition, and things kept happening in Beijing. She really forgot about this incident.
Butler Chen quickly called over the stewards responsible for these matters.
After learning about the progress, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This small fiefdom is like a small city.
Of course, nothing that big.
There are seven villages in the entire fiefdom, none of which are big villages. Each village has at least a dozen households or as many as dozens of households.
Just outside the suburbs of Beijing.
Among them, there are four relatively large ones on the periphery, which are equivalent to the natural barriers of this small fiefdom.
The three small villages inside are mostly in the mountains.
The construction of small fiefdoms is also good. The people responsible for this matter are all old men led by the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper has been following the old lady for decades and has a lot of knowledge and skills.
So although the old lady and Mr. Ning both neglected this matter, the construction was not sloppy at all.
A big house has risen over there. Although it is not as big as the Zhenyuan Uncle's Mansion, or as big as the General's Mansion, it can still be accommodated by their family and their servants to escort them there.
In addition, the surrounding farmland and orchards on the mountains have also been constructed.
Some will even be able to harvest this year.
After hearing the reports from the stewards, the old lady and Mrs. Ning both nodded with satisfaction and looked down at the little girl.
"Long Bao'er, do you want to play in your fief?"
Long Baoer nodded, "I think!"
"Okay, then tell me to go down, pack your things, and let's go and stay for a while."
As soon as this order was given, everyone in the Zhenyuan Mansion immediately started to move.
In the whole family, only the current Zhenyuan Bo, Chang Maozhi, looks bitter.
His leave has been canceled long ago, so he has to go to court every day and cannot go with him.
On the contrary, there are also some maids, servants, and cooks who are guarding him because he wants to stay.
Early the next morning, the Chang family's motorcade set off on the road.
The second child has been taking medicine for several days, and his legs no longer hurt as much as before.
This elixir is more effective than taking decoction. The reason why Yun Chengzi gave him thirty pills was to be on the safe side. Now it seems that he is already in good condition, and he can just consolidate it for a few more days.
Logically speaking, the second child was already able to ride a horse and follow, but for some unknown reason, the second child got on the carriage, half-nodding to the news about his good leg and not intending to reveal it.
The eldest brother, Xue Lei, and the third child, Xue Zhen, all went to the border. Only four and five children at home were riding on both sides of the convoy. Behind them, children such as the sixth child, Chang Yi, Chang Ying, and Long Baoer were all caught up. Got the carriage.
Mr. Cao and Mr. Ning sat with the old lady, followed by the guards of the Chang family.
The aristocratic families were quite resentful that the Chang family had so many guards.
Man Chao looked up and down to see who could have so many private soldiers. But for the people in the city, they are not repelled at all. On the contrary, they are very happy every time they see the guards of the Chang family.
The former Chang Jiajun and the current Xue Jiajun both loved the people like their own children, never disturbed the people, and would help them when they encountered difficulties.
It's not like those unscrupulous slaves from aristocratic families, who are so cynical that their chins are almost raised to the sky.
Moreover, it is so common to bully the people, and the people have no way to sue the officials.
Comparing the two, you can imagine who the people love.
Coming from the capital, Ning ordered people to buy a lot of fresh snacks and the like to eat on the way.
This road is for both the elderly and children. Although there are guards around, there is no need to worry about safety issues, but it is always not advisable to rush.
They set out early in the morning and didn't arrive until it was getting dark.
That was only to the outermost villages of the fiefdom.
It will take some time to get inside from here, at least more than an hour.
So Ning thought about it and ordered her people to go down and find someone to borrow their stove to eat some food and take a rest.
Wait until you are full and full before you go on your way.
Otherwise, after a day's journey, the bodies of the elderly and children will not be able to eat, and their stomachs will be starved. It's good to come down and have a sip of hot water to warm up the soup.
As for food and other things, they brought some with them so that they could barely eat a meal, and borrowed some of the others to give money to others or return the food the next day.
They quickly located one family and went to knock on the door.
Unexpectedly, it took a long time for someone to answer the door. When the door was opened, everyone was stunned.
