Cangzhou is located to the north. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info since December, there have been several goose feather snowfalls in the city. The cold air was bitter, the wind was cold, and the weather was completely cold.

When Lu Shuo noticed this situation, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Yuan came to write half a month, saying that the day of the return trip was in these days.

But the temperature is so low, Cangzhou Wharf may freeze at any time, and seeing that the day of the ban on ships is coming, I don't know if Yuan can come back in advance.

On the twelfth day of the lunar month, the steward who went to pick up the ship came with the news that the big ship on the return trip would arrive at noon on this day.

Lu Shuo was relieved.

On this day, the sky was clear for the first time in a long time.

At the beginning of the day after the snow, the world is still white. The winter sun is particularly mild, and when it shines on people's bodies, it is warm.

There were more than 20 cars to pick up Yuan's frame, which were filled with New Year's gifts and Jingshi specialties sent by the Jingguo Mansion.

By the time Yuan took everyone into the mansion and freshened up and settled down, it was already noon.

Lu Yun was at home, Lu Shuo had already finished school, and the family of four gathered in the small flower hall in the west room.

The earth dragon was burned in the small flower hall, and two braziers were caged, and the room was warm and coaxing. Yuan sat on the Luohan bed and rested for a while, drank a few sips of hot tea, and his cold body warmed up.

"Why is the weather in Cangzhou so cold this year? On the way back, there were two braziers on the carriage, and I was holding a soup woman in my hand, and I was still shivering with cold. ”

Yuan relieved himself, and picked up Lu Shunying, who was coquettish on his body, and said while making her laugh.

"How can it be so cold! Mother, it must be that you have been back in Beijing for too long, and you have forgotten what the winter in Cangzhou is like!"

Lu Shuo hadn't seen Yuan for a few months, and when he sat beside her at this time, he felt very cordial, and as soon as he heard her complain about the cold weather, he couldn't help but hug her arm and pick up the conversation.

Besides, he doesn't feel that cold!

In recent months, his physique has improved a lot, he will not get sick at every turn, and his ability to resist cold has also increased.

"You little monkey, I haven't seen you for a few months, your guts are really getting fatter and fatter, and now you even dare to make fun of your mother!"

Yuan listened to Lu Shuo's complaint, which seemed to be true and false, and liked this kind of long-lost intimacy in his heart, so he nodded his nose and said with a smile.

Lu Yun chuckled lightly and said, "Brother Shuo'er is not wrong in what he said, Jingshi is indeed much warmer now. You suddenly arrived in Cangzhou, and it's normal that you can't adapt for a while!"

After Lu Yun said this, he paused slightly, and when he saw Yuan Shi glancing at him with a smile, he couldn't help but feel half of his body.

Lu Yun coughed a little, concealed his strangeness, and then said: "But this year is indeed colder than last year. Since the beginning of winter, there have been several snowfalls in Cangzhou, and the temperature has dropped a lot! However, it is said that the snow will be a good year, and if this situation continues, the people will be able to have a good harvest next year. In this way, the adverse effects of the locust plague on the people can be eliminated as soon as possible!"

Yuan Shi smiled, suddenly remembered something, frowned, and opened his mouth to congratulate: "I haven't congratulated the master on his promotion! Speaking of which, in the past few months, although I have not been in Cangzhou, I have heard a lot about the deeds of the old man in curing locusts. The people of the Jingshi are now all telling you that you are amazing! Tell me how the master came up with this good method in the first place?"

Lu Yun didn't twist it, so he told the matter of locust control in detail in 1510, and focused on Sun Lao and Mrs. Tang.

Speaking of Sun Lao, when he was talking about rewarding meritorious deeds, Lu Yun felt that he had made the greatest contribution to the treatment of locusts, so he was ready to reward him.

It's just that his family is all white and can't be an official, so Lu Yun wants to reward him with 500 acres of fertile land and 3,000 taels of silver, so that he can be a rich man.

It's just that Sun Lao repeatedly refused, resolutely refused, and only made one request, hoping to let his great-grandson learn from Wei Fuzi.

Lu Yun thought of his family's experience, but he understood Sun Lao's good intentions. In addition, after Wei Fuzi took the school examination for that Sun Zhe, he felt that his qualifications were not bad, so he officially accepted him as an apprentice.

Therefore, Lu Shuo now has another classmate.

Lu Shuo saw that the two of them chatted as if there was no one around, and they couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, expressing his hatred and contempt for this kind of public dog abuse.

After chatting for a while, and having dinner again, the two children were taken back to their rooms for a nap by their respective housekeepers.

Only then did Lu Yun have the opportunity to speak and ask about the Yuan family's affairs about Jingshi.

"Everything is fine in the house, my mother's body is very tough, I haven't seen you for two years, and I miss you and your two children very much. ”

As soon as Yuan heard Lu Yun's words, he consciously told Mrs. Lu about the recent situation first.

Lu Yun listened and nodded with satisfaction. Then he said with concern: "You went back to the house this time to preside over various affairs, and you didn't encounter any trouble!"

Although this question was vague, Yuan and he had been husband and wife for many years, and they immediately understood that Lu Yun wanted to know if his mother-in-law Luo was embarrassed by himself.

Over the years, because he has no children, as long as his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet, Luo always has to take the opportunity to find some excuses to make things difficult for himself.

Yuan Shi thought of her husband's thoughtfulness towards herself, and her heart softened, so she slowly grabbed Lu Yun's hand and said softly: "Master, don't worry! Now that I have Brother Shuo and Sister Ying, my mother is no longer angry, not to mention that there is a new sister-in-law who has entered the door, and my mother is really satisfied with me now!"

"Oh?"

Lu Yun listened to the first half of the words, his heart relaxed, and when he heard the last sentence, he was a little curious, and he couldn't help but speak out in confusion.

Yuan Shi solemnized his face, lowered his voice, and said: "When I returned to Jingshi, what Yu's mother said was vague, and I only thought that my mother disliked the Bai family's shortness and was dissatisfied with this bride. Later, when I returned to Beijing, I found out that the cat in here is very greasy!"

Although Lu Yun is not very interested in the affairs of the inner house, this matter is related to the long house, and if he returns to Beijing to take up his post in the future, he will have to deal with it on a daily basis, so he is concerned about this matter.

Yuan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "That old man Bai is famous for spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, and our eldest sister-in-law Bai is the daughter of that favorite concubine." The Bai family had set a family affair before, and the man's conditions were very good, I heard people say that this marriage was originally set for the eldest lady of their family, not only was it given by the Bai family, but she was a blessed one, and the fiancé went seriously ill before she passed the door. ”

When Lu Yun heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

It's just that the Bai family is low, and the family style is so bad, the Bai family doesn't sound like a fuel-efficient lamp, and just a maid dares to rob her sister's marriage, so she doesn't distinguish between concubines, I'm afraid it's not very good.

"As for the marriage with our Jingguo Mansion, it is said that after the Bai family died her fiancé, it was delayed again and again, and it was delayed until she was eighteen years old, and she became an old girl. Later, a chrysanthemum banquet was held in the old mansion of Yue Ge, and the Bai family somehow fell into the water and was rescued by our eldest brother. ”

Lu Yun was really speechless, such a clumsy way to touch porcelain, the eldest brother obediently took the bait! Lu Yun didn't know what to say about him!

Lu Yun didn't give up, and asked, "How did you marry in this way?"

Yuan looked at his reaction, pursed his lips, and said: "My mother originally only allowed my eldest brother to come back to be a concubine, but then I don't know what the Bai family said to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother directly made a decision to marry her back, but my mother disagreed, but I didn't resist the eldest brother in the end." For this matter, my mother was not less angry with my eldest brother. ”

When Lu Yun heard this, he helped his forehead, and he didn't want to make any comments.

He said: "I'm afraid this sister-in-law is not simple, we will return to Beijing in the future, but anyone who is involved with the big house is better to be less contaminated." ”

The Yuan family knew that he was talking about the position of the prince of the Jingguo Mansion.

It's just that the Bai family may not be able to give birth! Besides, even if it is born, it will be many years later!

Yuan was extremely tired, and he didn't want to say more, so he nodded,
