In the seventh year of Xuantong, the war in northern Xinjiang was chaotic, and the emperor issued an edict: Xiao Di, the Marquis of Zhenbei, took command of the seal and led the army to the north with 800,000 troops;

Xiao Di held a pair of children nostalgically, looked left and right, and felt that he couldn't see enough.

With a smile, her eyes were a little gloomy, and she took the child over and handed it to the nurse: "Master Hou must be careful, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, although it is to repay the emperor's kindness, but you must also take care of yourself." Don't worry about things at home, I'll take care of it. ”

Xiao Di nodded, his eyes soft: "I know, I believe in you." ”

Tears welled up in his eyes with a smile.

After Xiao Di left, Hanxiao was a little worried for a while, just practicing sword cultivation every day, and then paying attention to a pair of children, and nothing else could lift his spirits.

Sister Yue and Brother Xuan'er's full moon banquet was presided over by Yinluo, at that time, Hanxiao only lay on the bed to see a few guests, and did not ask anything else, but after hearing the little maids excitedly say how lively it was that day, how many troupes were invited, how many people came to give gifts, how many gifts the eldest lady and the eldest young master received, etc. Hanxiao also looked at the gift list and found that her pair of children were already considered a little rich, Happy Hanxiao hugged her daughter and turned around several times, Brother Xuan stretched out his hands on the side and cried, so he had to hold and turn around a few times with Xiaoxiao. At that time, he hugged Brother Xuan with a smile and said: "My temper is really big! I actually eat my sister's vinegar, this is not good!"

Although they are twins, Sister Yue and Brother Xuan don't look very similar. Sister Yue, who is about to be one year old, has long skin like first snow, eyes like flowing springs, and a smile like a flower, delicate and beautiful; Brother Xuan is white and fat like a bun, naïve and naïve, with a dull taste when looking left and right, it seems that she is not as smart and well-behaved as Sister Yue, but she is also very likable;

Hanxiao didn't plan to do a big deal at the first birthday banquet, Xiao Di was leading the troops outside, and the blessings and disasters were unpredictable; Hanxiao was really not in the mood to hold any banquets, and besides, there was no head of the family at home, so it was inconvenient to do anything. simply closed the door to thank the guests, and practiced quietly at home;

On the day of the first birthday, Shui Hanwu took the initiative to come to the door and gave Sister Yue and Brother Xuan a lot of gifts, all of which were objects for children to play with, all of which were exquisite and valuable. With a smile and didn't accept it, Hanwu hugged Brother Xuan and said: "This is a gift from my aunt to Sister Yue's Brother Xuan'er, you can't accept it as a mother, you have wronged the child, but my aunt is not dependent." ”

Laughing and laughing.

Hanwu held the child and teased for a while, and handed the child to the nurse; Hongdan took the initiative to retreat with someone when he saw this, leaving only two people in the hall.

"Your red pill is really getting more and more clever and cute. ”

"That's her own eyes. He smiled and said with a smile.

"I'll help your family Hongdan keep a matchmaker!" Shui Hanwu seemed to remember something, leaned forward slightly, and smiled at Hanwu with great interest: "That parents are civilians who have left our house, and they are in charge of a silk shop in the house, and the family has more than 500 acres of fertile land in the countryside, this child has been able to study since he was a child, and now he has passed the government examination and is preparing to participate in the college examination. ”

"How could such a person think of finding a maid?" Hanxiao frowned.

"If you want to say that he is not high or low, the real lady must not look down on them, but his parents have been working in our house since he was a child, and they have raised their horizons, and the small family is willing to marry but does not look down on them, and they feel that the small family is childish, and they are not worthy of their son, so they want to ask for my grace and marry the big girl around them.

I think their family conditions are really good, and they are kind, so I originally wanted to marry Brother Parrot. But Brother Parrot said that he wanted to be the housekeeper in my house, and he didn't want to get married, so he wanted to find a weaker husband in the house. ”

"So you started the idea of playing the red pill. He said with a smile.

"Isn't this your red pill outstanding? "Shui Hanwu is honest.

Hanxiao thought for a while and said, "I'll ask Hongdan's idea!"

"It should. Although we are planning for her, we have to like her!"

Shallow took a sip of tea, and said with a mist in the water: "I sent a letter to Mu Jia's makeup a few days ago. ”

"Oh!" smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"I only wrote one sentence: I intend to implement a new policy today, where will the money come from?" said Shui Hanwu softly.

"My sister is very good like this, let her think about it for herself, and if she understands it, she will have a choice and a decision. "With a smile on his face, the smile is quiet and elegant;

"I hope so!" Shui Hanwu sighed, she had done her best, and the rest depended on how the Mu family decided: "But I heard that the Mu family has been making a lot of trouble recently because of the separation of the family;"

"Isn't Mao Guogong still alive and well?" said with a smile.

"Yes, but Mao Guogong doesn't care about anything, and handed over all the affairs in the mansion to the eldest young master of the Mu family, probably because he wants to split the family first and then invite the prince to be felt!" Shui Hanwu is still very concerned about the affairs of the Mu family.

He nodded with a smile and didn't say anything.

In the family affairs of outsiders, she is neither a party nor a participant, so she is not praised.

The two talked for a while, and asked Hanwu to help take a look, and also found someone for Qingsha, and Hanwu nodded and promised. The Marquis of Zhenbei led the troops outside, smiling and closing the door to thank the guests, which is indeed not easy to look at;

……

"Madam, Lord Shuicheng has sent a letter. Hong Dan took a peach blossom pattern jade box and opened the curtain and entered.

With a smile in her heart, she took the jade box and put it on the small table beside her, did not open it immediately, pointed to the stool and smiled at Hong Dan and said, "Hong Dan, you sit down, I have something to tell you." ”

"Yes. Hongdan nodded puzzledly and sat down sideways.

"Hongdan is almost twenty this year!" said with a smile.

"Yes. Seeing that she asked her age with a smile, Hong Dan was stunned for a moment, and then as if she had thought of something, her cheeks were slightly red.

"Today, the second sister came to talk to me and helped you find a family affair. Seeing Hongdan's appearance with a smile, she knew that she probably thought of something, so she didn't beat around the bush and directly said her opinion. "I think the other party's conditions are good, but it is rare that the other party has a meritorious reputation, and he doesn't care about your slave status; What do you think?"

The rosy on Hong Dan's face faded little by little, and finally became pale.

Xiaoxiao frowned, stopped, and looked at Hongdan.

"Madame, is it that I have done something wrong, so Madame wants to send me out. Hong Dan asked with trembling lips.

"How could you think that. I see that the other party's conditions are very good, and your age is just right, so I want to match you, what are you thinking nonsense!" explained with a smile.

"That's... Why doesn't the lady find me a home in the mansion, or find it in the lady's companion room, just like Yinluo!" Hong Dan saw that his eyes were quiet and gentle, and he mustered up the courage to ask.

"Yinluo's marriage was set a long time ago. Steward Chi and several of them already have masters, or they have already married. He Shun and Ge Jin have been married for many years; Embedded's fiancée is in Shuicheng, and next year Ziwei and Lu will get married; Chenhong's fiancée you should have seen, her name is Wei Zi; Lian He also has both children; Chi Steward is the same as Embedded, he is already engaged, and the woman's parents want to keep their daughter for a few more years, and they must be willing to marry in time, so they will get married next year. ”

Hong Dan's face turned completely pale, "Late... Late... Steward Chi is already engaged. ”

Han Xiao understood Hong Dan's thoughts at this moment, and Hong Dan admired the chief steward Chi Xuanqi;

I was a little surprised in my heart, and after thinking about it carefully, I took it for granted: Chi Xuanqi had outstanding appearance and extraordinary manners, Hongdan had been in contact with him many times, and it was normal for Fang Xin to secretly agree, but the problem was that the other party was already engaged: "Chi Guan Shi was born in a martial arts family, his father is a side line, and he is unwilling to rely on his lineage to live, so he comes out to do business by himself; ”

After listening to the smiling words, Hong Dan sat there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

With a smile, he couldn't bear it, "Hongdan, you go down and think about it!"

Hong Dan nodded and walked out blankly.

He looked at Hongdan's back with a smile and was silent.

……

Open the jade box, and inside is a letter and a golden and slender key;

Looking at the envelope, the vermilion seal was neat, proving that it had not been opened halfway.

When the envelope was opened, there was a letter and a title deed—the title deed of a mountain forest in the state;

Shui Changxiao said in his heart: "The first emperor of Shuicheng knew the wealth in his heart, and he once beat the idea of the Shui family, and then he died suddenly, so there was no follow-up, but the first emperor must have told this matter to Jinshang."

In order to prevent this day, he began to gradually transfer his secret business to neighboring countries eight years ago, and some of them were transferred to Yuanwu and Lin Chunguo; he built a resort on a small island in the sea; he built a few good houses in Jiangyang, Yuhang, and other places, and bought mountains and forests and fertile fields nearby; and some of his shops planned to be transferred to the old shopkeeper who had been in the Shui family for more than 40 years;

As for the silver treasures in the family, including the antique treasures left by Mrs. He, he divided them into five parts, and bought a mountain forest in the state capital where his five children had an estate, built a secret room in the mountains, and hid them in the mountains to be freely disposed of by their brothers and sisters;

All the business on the bright side was handed over to the eldest brother Shui Yunfan. ’

The letter also mentioned: "Your eldest brother saw Princess An Ning, my sister-in-law a few years ago, and I don't know how to look at the right eye; it just so happens that Qingzhou intends to marry the royal family, but it is not possible for a daughter to marry the prince, there are too many troubles, and the Shui family is not willing to toss, so he plans to be the master, and chooses Fan'er, I am afraid that Fan'er's appearance is also very happy in my heart."

Princess An Ning is about to be in time, and the Shui family has already discussed this matter with the Zongren Mansion. If it happens, Fan'er will take the business of the Shui family and his share of property into the princess's mansion, even if it is dedicated to the royal family, that is, it preserves our vein, and also diverts the attention of today. It's a good way out. ’

looked at the letter in his hand with a smile, and was speechless for a long time, it turned out that his father had thought of everything;

After thinking for a while, he called someone in.

Spring water and summer rain are waiting at the door.

"Whoever came to deliver the letter from Shuicheng and called him in. ”

Chunshui hurriedly ran to call someone, and in the middle of the sound, a middle-aged man in elegant costume, tall posture, and lofty bearing walked over.

Stunned with a smile, the person named Shui Jimin, is the old man next to his father, and he is also the chief steward, in charge of a lot of business, and his strength is also very strong, with eight layers of internal strength, and he is also a first-class master in the Shui family.

How could he send him over? Hanxiao wondered in her heart: Although things are very important and their contents are very confidential, wouldn't it be even more ghostly in the eyes of those who care about it? Daddy is thoughtful, he shouldn't show such flaws!

Shui Jimin knew what she was thinking when she saw her smiling expression, smiled slightly, and bowed: "The old slave greets the third aunt and grandmother, and greets the third aunt and grandmother." ”

"Uncle Ji, please get up, you are an old man next to your father, and you can't afford such a big gift with a smile. Hanxiao hurriedly returned the salute, instructed the maid to move the chair, and arranged for him to sit down.

"The old slave was cheeky, and when he heard that the old man had written a letter to the third aunt and grandmother, he recommended himself and brought his wife and children to the capital to harass the third aunt and grandmother. ”

"Where, Uncle Ji has something to say, please do your best with a smile. ”

"Thank you, three girls, for your grace. Shui Jimin hurriedly thanked him. "The little girl and the embedded in the early engagement, originally planned to get married with the Xuan, but seeing that the embedded is getting older, but there is no one around to take care of it, the old slave can't bear it, thinking about it is not bad this year, so he cheekily recommended himself, and asked the third aunt and grandmother to reward a grace. ”

Shui smiled suddenly, rejoiced in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is a great happy event, I don't know how happy I will be when the time comes! Uncle Ji can rest assured, I promise to make Ziwei's marriage lively." ”

"Thank you, Grandma San. The third aunt and grandmother are really kind-hearted! Ziwei will be blessed to follow the third aunt and grandmother in the future. ”

"Ziwei is smart and clever, it's too late for me to like it!"

When the little maids in the house heard that they knew that someone was married, they were all overjoyed.

The rules in the house are very strict on weekdays, and only when this kind of happy event can you indulge in fun;

……

Arrange Yinya to preside over the marriage of the water embedded, and ask that this marriage must be done lively.

When I returned to the house, I looked at the jade box in my hand and looked at the excitement outside, and I couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that Daddy has everything counted.

Ginger is still old and spicy. Sure enough, it's the truth!

Daddy is the old ginger;

In comparison, she is barely a little ginger!
