Happiness Consist in Contentment

Spring and winter come, and soon, Liu Fang will be fifteen.

Now the Liu family lives in the forest, and they are not only one family, but many people who have fled.

It's just that the mountain where the Liu family lives is still only them.

Those who came later, after staying in Liu's house for a while, consciously found another place to build a house and moved out.

They all reclaimed the farmland first, and after they had food, they exchanged supplies with the Liu family. Because the Liu family could do everything, they could not do without the Liu family, and they lived not far from the Liu family.

Now, there are people on several nearby hills, and the hills are no longer as quiet as before, on the contrary, it is somewhat lively.

Mother Liu will be talking to Liu Fang about her marriage. After all, she is not too young, and it is time to get married.

Over the years, the three Liu Feng brothers have each had sons, the oldest two years old and the youngest only seven months old.

Therefore, Mother Liu is now only staring at Liu Fang, the little girl.

As for getting married, Liu Fang is fine. After all, for this mission, she was already mentally prepared to get married.

She is also very relieved about Liu's choice.

What Liu mother took a fancy to was Liu Feng's daughter-in-law, the younger brother of her eldest sister-in-law - Li Ping, the eldest brother among the four brothers and sisters who first came here.

Li Ping is just one year older than Liu Fang. He has a good temperament, is gentle and honest, and he has read books at a young age and has good knowledge, so he can still chat with Liu Fang quite easily.

For Liu Fang's sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, if her younger brother can marry Liu Fang, it is simply burning incense, so she is naturally very happy.

The aunt's ability is not small. If her younger brother can marry the aunt, she will not have to worry about it in the future.

Moreover, the Li family may not be able to prosper again in the future.

Liu Fang also had a good impression of Li Ping, so she agreed to the marriage.

Li Ping also had a bit of admiration for Liu Fang, so he naturally nodded in agreement after hearing what his sister said.

Neither side had any opinions, so the marriage was settled. In March of the following year, Liu Fang married Li Ping and went to live with Li Ping.

The Li family's yard is on the nearest hill, and Li Ping has a younger brother, Li An, who is two years younger.

After Liu Fang entered the door, Li An was under her control, and he should get married soon, so Liu Fang was naturally paying attention to suitable candidates.

Marrying into the Li family is actually no different from the days in the Liu family. Liu Fang still collects medicines, gives people medical treatment, etc., and then takes care of the Li family's fields.

Not long after Liu Fang gave birth to her eldest son, Ang Lee's marriage was decided.

When she came down, she and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, chose it together—the only daughter of a family surnamed Yang who escaped later.

In Yang's family, she is the only daughter. Originally, her parents opened a cloth shop, but with the war, their shop could no longer be opened, and they couldn't even stay in the city, so they escaped with people.

It was just bad luck that they encountered robbers. In order to survive, they fled into the mountains and were rescued by others.

Yang's parents were very satisfied with the Liu family and the Li family. After all, these two families were the earliest households in the mountains, and they had the best life, not to mention the fields.

The Yang family is also very satisfied with Li An. The four sisters and brothers of the Li family are actually very good looking, and Li An even looks like a little white face. Therefore, the Yang family agreed very readily to this marriage.

Even Father Yang said that if he could go back to the city in the future and get his shop back, then the shop would be Yang's dowry.

Liu Fang had nothing to do with this, anyway, now everyone lives in the mountains, and they have to rely on themselves for everything. The so-called dowry is as elusive as the clouds in the sky.

However, Li An was married anyway, so naturally he built a yard and moved out, and completely separated from Li Ping.

This is also the benefit of Mrs. Li after watching the separation of the Liu family, so that his younger brother also learned to do it.

The days passed so leisurely. In addition to researching medical skills, Liu Fang's daily routine was raising children or giving birth to children. After she had three sons, she stopped and no longer had any more children.

In this regard, Mrs. Li has no objection: after all, after she gave birth to three sons, Mother Liu would not let her give birth. She is also a woman, so she naturally understands that Mother Liu is for her good.

Comparing heart to heart, Li also felt that it was enough for his younger brother to have three sons.

Besides, Li An and the Yang family also gave birth to three sons, which adds up to six, which is already quite a lot.

...

On this day, Father Liu came back from the foot of the mountain and brought his children home, including Li An and Yang.

He said to the crowd, "The world is at peace, and now there is no Chen country outside, it's changed to Yan country..."

After listening to Liu Fang, she was completely relieved. It was finally peaceful. She thought this war would last for ten or twenty years.

However, in fact, it is almost the same, a full nineteen years.

When a new country is established, it is natural to need to re-register the household registration. What Liu’s father means is that they all have to go and completely register the fields here under their own names. Generally speaking, the new dynasty will be better than the previous dynasty. After all, at the beginning, the emperor was all good,

They are all thinking about how to govern the country and how to treat the people favorably.

Whether it is a political need or a face-saving effort, for the common people, such a situation is the best time.

You can't be a black household from generation to generation, right?

Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking that Father Liu was right.

The next day, Father Liu informed about this from house to house. Soon, everyone gathered together, took their original household registration or something, and went to the city to apply for a new household registration.

...

And Yan Xiuming, who was far away in Kyoto, stood on the tower, looking at the entire majestic palace, overlooking the entire capital...

He finally reached this position, and in order to survive, he took it step by step.

Yan Xiuming's heart is full of agitation, he is full of pride, thinking about the future, this country will be thriving under his governance!

"Your Majesty, the Empress said that there is something important to discuss."

Yan Xiuming calmed down and nodded lightly, "I see."

He looked at the capital in front of him again, smiled slightly, and turned to go down the tower.

After going to Fengqi Palace and telling the Queen about the state banquet, Yan Xiuming took the opportunity to rest at Fengqi Palace.

The next day, he went to Tianjing to see his elder brother, Yan Xiuting.

Yan Xiuting sat in the cell with disheveled hair, looked at Yan Xiuming in a dragon robe, and sneered.

"The third brother is really lucky to be able to become the emperor! Brother, I really have no eyes!"

Yan Xiuming looked at him lightly and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, why?"

If he hadn't hidden his whereabouts and didn't show up back then, I'm afraid he would have been killed by this big brother again.

Yan Xiuting smiled, "Don't you understand? It's just for the sake of what you have now."

Yan Xiuming frowned, "If it weren't for you, how could I have the heart to compete for the world?"

Yan Xiuting smiled and shook his head, "Oh, yes, you don't have the heart, but I'm afraid! Do you know? From childhood to adulthood, you are better than me in everything. Whether it is people in the family or outside, you are all I have to sigh: The third son of the Yan family is amazing!

Heh, do you know the feeling of being the eldest brother of me, being held down by you all the time? You have no idea.

In your eyes, you are a good brother, and I am a good brother..."

Yan Xiuting's eyes reddened slightly, "The Yan family is destined to have a true dragon master, either me or you.

So, third brother, you and I are destined to not be good brothers..."

Yan Xiuming lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I understand."

After all, he turned to leave.

Yan Xiuting raised his head, closed his eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of his eyes.

That night, the eldest son of the Yan family died in his cell. The next day, a carriage drove out of the capital and headed for the south of the Yangtze River.

Yan Xiuting, no, now it should be said to be Yan Ting, he looked at the distant Jingdu with tears in his eyes, but a slight smile on his face: This younger brother is still so soft-hearted, really...

...

Huanshan Village, where Liu Fang and the others lived, has now been registered by the government.

Even after Liu Fang and others built a road to enter the village, it is convenient for people in the village to go out, and it is also convenient for people outside to enter the village.

On this day, a group of merchants passing by on horseback entered the village, and the villagers have long been accustomed to it.

Over the years, many businessmen passing by have come here to stay overnight, and they are always received by the village chief, so they have nothing to worry about.

Now the emperor of the state of Yan is better than the emperor of the former state of Chen. Not to mention the tax reduction and exemption for three consecutive years, the labor service has also been abolished. Now when I go to repair the city wall, I can get the wages. How many people want to pay it back? Can't go. And the food is also good. There is white rice and meat every day, which is better than the days at home.

Father Liu heard that the villagers came to report that they were doing business, and hurried over to receive him. When he saw the young man in the lead, he was stunned.

Yan Xiuming smiled, "Why, Uncle Liu forgot to be here?"

Father Liu said with a smile, "No, I just didn't expect it to be the son. I haven't seen him for many years. How is the son?"

Yan Xiuming said with a smile, "Thanks to you, everything is going well here. After all these years, I have finally bought a family business. Until today, I have time to repay my kindness. I hope Uncle Liu will not be surprised."

Father Liu waved his hand and said, "Young master is really polite. It was just a little effort at first, so I shouldn't be so worried about you."

Yan Xiuming shook his head and said, "No, if it wasn't for Uncle Liu and Miss Liu, I'd probably have died a long time ago, and I wouldn't be able to speak of today's wealth, so this is a great favor, and I should return it."

Father Liu didn't want to continue entanglement with him, so he said, "Young master came here on purpose this time?"

Yan Xiuming nodded, "Exactly."

Father Liu: …

No matter what, he took them back home, and asked someone to call Liu Fang over.

Along the way, Yan Xiuming talked to Liu's father about his experiences over the years, and also asked about the Liu family, and Liu's father naturally knew everything.

When Yan Xiuming found out that Liu Fang was married and even had a child, he paused and continued.

Laughing and walking with Father Liu.

Unexpectedly, the little girl from the beginning is now a man/wife and a mother.

Time flies so fast!

After Yan Xiuming saw Liu Fang, the original thoughts in his heart disappeared: after so many years, her demeanor was still the same as before, and she even became softer. It was obvious that her life was really good.

That's it.

Yan Xiuming stayed in Huanshan Village for three days and left a lot of gold and silver treasures for the Liu family before leaving.

After that, he never came again, and Liu Fang never thought of him again.

Two people are like two parallel lines, they only meet in an instant, and then they go forward separately.

Liu Fang had a very leisurely mission this time. Li Ping was a very responsible husband and treated her very well. Her sons were also very filial. When her grandchildren grew up, they all had their own futures. When she died, the Li family had already It is a famous scholar in the neighborhood, and many children are officials outside...
