In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the garden was broken.

The winter sun is always thin and weak, and it is easy to see the more powerful sun on this day, and the maids and maids do not need to be said, and they are busy taking out the pillows and bedding in each room to wash and wash, and dry.

The open space at the back of the garden that was leveled out for amusement and balling was filled with ropes horizontally and vertically, and was full of colorful bedding, which was also magnificent.

Sydney stood at the back door of the kitchen, squinted and smiled, and Aunt Zhang shouted, "Miss Sydney, it's okay!" ”

Sydney hurriedly walked in, "Hard work aunt." ”

"You're welcome? When the county lord eats happily, my face will shine. Aunt Zhang wrapped her hands in a thick rag, put a small lotus stew pot on the stove into the food box, put clean dishes and handed it to her, and suddenly sighed, "Alas, my uncle is not here, and the county lord has no appetite, this is the New Year soon, and I don't know if I can come back in time." ”

Sydney smiled, and the good mood that had just been aroused by the sun sank.

I used to be worried every day outside, but when I returned to the capital, it was not easy. If nothing else, just look at the plummeting amount of food from the county lord.

I just hope that Junma will come back soon, these messy things will pass quickly, and everyone will have a good New Year. Put a firecracker, go to get rid of bad luck, just like this washed out to dry the bedding, wait until the New Year, whether it is extremely Tai Lai, there is a new beginning.

She thought all the way and walked all the way to the yard with the food box. only then turned onto a small bridge, and happened to meet the little guy guarding the door to send a post to Nianfu. Sydney took it and walked into the house with her feet up. saw Cuirong coming back, and was on the kang with the sun under the window, settling accounts with Nianfu.

Cui Rong, who took over the position of the steward of Xianyuan, can now be jokingly called the God of Wealth sister by her family, and it will be a good thing for her to come back. Sydney pursed her lips and smiled, put the post aside, and gave Nian Fusheng soup first.

The Huaishan wolfberry quail soup that has been simmered for half a day is only such a small cup, and the soup is thick and delicious. As soon as the lid is lifted, the aroma tempts the appetite.

Sydney added a small bowl. Pray for blessings. "Add another bowl to Cui Rong and give her the quail."

Cui Rong hurriedly said, "How does this work?" County Lord, you are now a double body, but you need to eat more. ”

Nian Fu smiled. "It's not over. But I guess you've made me a lot of money this year. What's the point of rewarding you with a quail? ”

Cui Rong was about to excuse herself, but Sydney had already found another bowl and tore off the legs of the two quails to Nianfu. The rest of the meat was added to her, "The county lord rewards you, you can eat it." With someone to accompany her, she can also eat more deliciously. Look, the county lord, there is no other meat, just these few legs, if you don't appreciate your face anymore, Aunt Zhang should cry. ”

Cui Rong said angrily, "You little hoof, now you will make your own decisions?" ”

Sydney replied playfully, "That's also my sister's training!" ”

This made everyone laugh, Cui Rong smiled and said two strange words, and finally took the soup. Someone accompanied, Nianfu also ate the bowl of soup, and the two discussed the account of Xianyuan again.

Originally, Nianfu planned to recoup the capital in a year, but he didn't expect to start making a profit before the winter. Next year's business is already scheduled for March.

Since there is money to be made, she is not stingy, and orders all the top and bottom to be paid double salaries at the end of the year, and some of them are particularly well done, and there are other rewards.

"There are also people in the house, telling everyone that because of the new people in the family, everyone's monthly money will all rise by 10% next year. You ask the steward to make a new routine, go back and show me, and it will be sent from the first month. ”

This is really good news, and the maids thank you in unison. Cui Rong took the lead and congratulated, "Then we have to pray day and night that the county lord will add more new children to the family, and then it will be good to take advantage of the little master's advantage and increase the monthly money a few more times." ”

She didn't want to be a model worker. Nian Fu glanced at her, but looking at everyone's smiling faces, she was also in a happy mood.

Who would have thought that good things would start one after another.

First, the old lady sent someone over, saying that Ouyang Mulan had sent a letter again. She has given birth to a big fat boy of eight pounds in May this year, Wei Yinian was very happy, Gao Xiuru took the initiative to record the child in her name, and specially reported to the court to prove her identity.

Then there was Ouyang Zhuang, who was promoted.

Although he was only promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh grade, he was given a real shortage of a county order. If you do a good job, there is great hope for your future official career.

Ouyang Zhuang knew in his heart that he was able to be promoted, most likely because of his meritorious service in returning to his hometown with his eldest brother this time, so he fell into the eyes of the emperor. It is very respectful in front of Nianfu and thank you repeatedly.

Nian Fu said, "You don't have to thank your brother, if you don't make progress yourself, it will be useless for him to try his best." It's just that although you are not a big official, you have been gone for thousands of miles, and you don't want to come back within three years, what do you want to say about this family matter? ”

Tan Shi hurriedly said, "Isn't that so?" I'm in a hurry, too. So I want to come to the old lady to ask for an idea, whether to send someone to talk to the Fu family, if you can, you can hurry up and do things after the New Year, and let the little couple go on the road together. Otherwise, Zhuang'er has no one by his side to take care of him, and I don't feel at ease. ”

Nianfu immediately said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's take my post now. In the end, I am a sister-in-law, and I am also a junior, so I can open this mouth. If people are not happy, they will not lose the face of their grandmother. ”

The Tan family was very grateful in his heart, even if Nianfu was a junior, the county lord's face was much bigger than that of the old lady. With her out of the horse, the Fu family will definitely not make it difficult.

Sure enough, as soon as Nianfu's post went, the Fu family quickly sent someone back to express their willingness. Engaged for so long, the woman's things have already been prepared, even if there is a slight shortage, the Ouyang family will not be surprised. So someone said that they only had to wait for the Ouyang family to finalize the wedding date, and they could come to the door to marry.

Now the Tan family is going to be busy. The old lady hurriedly sent her back, saying that she would not need to respond to the New Year except for necessary occasions.

As soon as they sent their mother and son away, Ouyang Kang came back.

Nian Fu hurriedly asked, "How is the Shen family?" ”

Ouyang Kang stood by the fire with a cold air, "I have withdrawn from the marriage, but Miss Shen is affectionate and righteous, and I am really sad." I had just sent Yaozu home, and he ran in his single clothes and knelt in the snow for a while. A serious illness is inevitable. You see if there are any good ginseng at home, find a few branches and send them to him. ”

Nianfu also felt sad in his heart, but it was good news that the matter could be resolved smoothly. In the future, finding a good in-law for Shen Min is more useful than apologizing 10,000 times.

I told Ouyang Kang the good news of his family and asked him to change his clothes to eat quickly, but Ouyang Kang said, "Don't eat it." Find me some clean clothes, and I'll go to the house after I change. ”

How?

Nian Fu's heart sank, Ouyang Kang didn't want to alarm his grandmother. Only approached and whispered to Nianfu. "I just went to the Guan family, and I learned that the emperor had already decreed in the court that at noon tomorrow, the king of Jin would be killed. The Pei family is too. Yaozu had a high fever. I still insisted on going to see my husband again in person. I've changed my clothes now. I went to meet him first. Take Yaoqing back, and then prepare the things that should be prepared. ”

Nian Fu was silent, but Ouyang Kang raised her chin. "Let's laugh."

He has seen too many sad faces these days, and he also needs a smiling face to cheer himself up.

Nianfu suddenly spread his hand at him, "Give money." ”

Ouyang Kang was slightly stunned.

Nianfu said expressionlessly, "Isn't it necessary to give money to buy laughter?" ”

Ouyang Kang was stunned, and suddenly laughed to himself. Gently scraping her nose, her heart only felt much more relaxed, "Then I'll go." ”

"Go ahead." Nianfu looked at him with a smile, "Be careful on the road." It's dark and the road is slippery, so I'd rather slow down than rush home. ”

"Got it." Ouyang Kang looked back and smiled, suddenly playful, and reached out to flick on her slightly bulging lower abdomen, I wanted to ask, when will this watermelon be ripe?

Unexpectedly, Nianfu's stomach moved slightly.

Ouyang Kang's color changed instantly.

stared at his fingers in disbelief, then moved his gaze to Nian Fu's stomach, and said in a trembling voice, "This, this...... What happened to him? Hurry up and ask the doctor, go and ask the doctor! ”

Nianfu was speechless.

This person is embarrassed to boast that he is calmer than his own father, and when he looks at this, he is already scared and bloodless.

The old lady sitting there listened to the movement here, and laughed, "You stupid boy, it's been three months, and it's scary if there is no movement in your stomach." Your daughter-in-law started to move two days ago, but you are not at home and don't know. ”

What, what?

Ouyang Dashao nodded on one knee without caring about the image, listened to his daughter-in-law's stomach, and asked like a cannon, "Is this normal?" So he's moving inside, isn't he saying he's uncomfortable? ”

Stretched out his hand and poked cautiously again, his face full of confusion, "Why didn't he move again?" ”

Nianfu couldn't stand it anymore, and picked up the stupid father from the ground, "You hurry up and do your business, you have to study him, you still have time." ”

Not...... All right. Ouyang Kang was reluctant to give up, and looked back at her stomach step by step and walked out. He went out, but suddenly turned around and ran back, and said hurriedly, "He must be hungry!" Eat quickly, don't grind any more. Well, eat more. ”

The room was full of people laughing, but Ouyang Kang didn't realize it, and explained with a serious face, "Don't be picky." You don't like to eat anything, maybe he likes to eat? Take a walk after eating, and also move, don't be lazy and don't want to move. Let people hold on, just walk under the corridor, not cold and steady. Grandmother, you help me keep an eye on her. ”

"Okay." The old lady responded happily, and looked at the sky speechlessly.

Who the hell is this tuberculosis?

But this time, Ouyang Kang's mood was obviously much better than when he was laughed at by Nianfu before. In other words, there are more things to focus on, so no longer sad and sad.

grinning and patting her belly again, smiling silly, "That dad is gone, I'll be back in a while." You're obedient and obedient, you know? ”

After saying this, he left satisfied. With his head held high, it was as if he had done something great. So much so that Nianfu felt that if he had a tail at this moment, he would definitely be shaking high.

But with her hands on her stomach, she smiled.

Although there are always all kinds of unsatisfactory things in life, there are still many good things to look forward to.

Far away, I don't know which house lit the firecrackers. The new year is coming, and as long as they are alive, there is always hope to wait until spring blossoms. (To be continued......)
