Chapter 10 Living in the capital is not easy

Early in the morning of the second day, a few mothers-in-law who came to find the work on the stove arrived, and Feng and Liu tasted their respective crafts, and chose two to stay, ready to try them for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As soon as the two of them arrived at the old lady's side hall to check the affairs of the house, only half of the affairs were reported, and a maid reported that there was a father-in-law surnamed An in the palace who came to pass on the words of the queen's mother.

The two of them hurriedly went to the main hall, and the old lady asked Yang Leyi to take Yang Leyi to play in the garden, and she also sorted out her appearance and sat in the main hall.

After a while, Father-in-law An, who was about twenty years old, walked in with a smile on his face.

"Ask the old lady, Mrs. Hou, and the general's wife."

"Gonggong An is polite, I have already made a trip for you, please take a seat."

Seeing that he was seated, the maid served tea.

"This is a unique peak tea in our border city, although it is not a famous tea, but the taste is strong, and Grandpa An can taste it."

An Gong thanked him fairly, took two sips, praised a few words, and went straight to the point.

"Niangniang asked the family to bring a word, the old lady has just entered Beijing, this period must be busy with trivial affairs, this is not Niangniang estimated the time, it should be almost, just sent our family over, I hope to enter the palace in three days to get together. Hou Ye and the general will know it in the morning today, and when the old lady and the two ladies bring the young ladies into the palace together, everyone is lively. ”

"Father-in-law An, this is really old, I originally thought that after some time, we will learn more rules in Beijing and then go to Niangniang to ask for peace, so as not to collide with Niangniang, I never thought that Lao Niangniang would be so troubled, and then I entered the palace, and if there is anything inappropriate, please ask my father-in-law to mention a few words."

"The old lady is polite, this is easy to say, no matter how strict the palace is, it will also act according to the rules, and when the time comes, our family will be a leader."

The old lady was very happy: "Thank you father-in-law for that." ”

Before leaving, Feng stuffed a red envelope, and Grandpa An did not shirk it, and left with a smile.

At this time, the sun is already high in the sky, but it is not hot, and the yard is full of insects and birds, and the branches are dense, which is very good to listen to and see.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked in the courtyard.

Feng Shi sighed with emotion: "This exchange of favors between Beijing and China is really amazing. ”

The old lady was also worried: "Our family foundation is not rich, and we can get by in the border city, but in this capital, if it weren't for the gold and silver that the emperor rewarded before, I don't know how to deal with it." That's why I haven't let you have a feast. ”

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in the border city, they were dedicated to family affairs, and the old lady never hid anything.

Feng and Liu are silent, the border city has been disturbed by war all the year round, and there is no good livelihood, although the two of them have some shops, granges or something, there has not been much harvest. It has been stable in the past few years, and it has been much better. The mother-in-law's dowry is also on the bright side, and the harvest can be slightly better than theirs. But these are far from enough expenses in the capital, the Hou Ye and the general's Yulu are customized, this mansion is so big, but they don't use many people, it is also out of this consideration.

"Seeing that these boys are all older, in a few years they will say that they will be married, or, mother, I discussed it with my younger brothers and sisters, we plan to take advantage of the peace of the border city in the past few years, and sell them all, to see if we can buy some land in or near Beijing, open a shop or something."

Liu also nodded: "Yes, mother, in addition to marrying a daughter-in-law, there is also Yi'er, I think I have to save some dowry for Yi'er." ”

Speaking of Yi'er, Liu felt that he was reluctant to do it now, thinking that she would have to leave him sooner or later, his heart immediately hurt.

The old lady was also stunned for a moment.

She grew up with the old general, who was an orphan and was adopted by her father, and was almost like a son, so he did not leave his parents' house after getting married. She herself only has two sons, both of whom are married daughters-in-law and enter the door, and at this moment she thinks of her only little granddaughter, and her heart is not good.

"Yes, it's not easy to live in the capital. Which family has no livelihood behind it, otherwise how can this big family be maintained. ”

"Well, mother, the Hou Ye and the second brother came back in the evening, let's sum it up, the three stinkers are still Zhuge Liang, what's more, we also have a female Zhuge , brother and sister, don't you say?" Feng Shi saw that the atmosphere was a little sad, and hurriedly laughed.

"That's it, we still have a mother, mother, you can rest assured, I listen to you and my sister-in-law, I am very stupid in this regard, if you and your sister-in-law have any instructions, even if I do it, it's no problem to make a effort."

"Strength? How strong you are! The old lady smiled and nodded her head, God treats her well, and the two daughters-in-law are as caring as two daughters.

The Liu family smirked for a while, and the Feng family was also happy, this Wenlin laughed very similar to the Liu family.

"You have a lot of reason in thinking, but you must find a proper livelihood, and if you don't ask for anything else, it's good to buy some rouge gouache. As for the expenses of the house, including the future of the children, let the men figure it out, because if they don't stand up in the front, we will have a limited strength in the back. ”

After speaking, he took the hands of the two and patted them: "There are many things to worry about in the future, you can think of doing it like this, it is already the greatest support for the eldest and second, don't be too anxious, there is always a solution to the matter." ”

Seeing that her mother-in-law was so considerate of the two of them, and could say such things, the two of them were moved, and for a while, the words seemed to be a little redundant.

So, the two of them took the old lady's arm and walked towards the main house.

Behind the big tree, Mama Qin kept wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, their young lady now lives in the capital, not to mention being the general's wife, and having a mother-in-law who treats her like this, this is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

Yang Leyi, who was beside her, looked up at her and understood her mood very well. Mama Qin is her mother's grandmother, her husband died in battle very early, and she couldn't keep the child, so she stayed by her mother's side wholeheartedly.

Looking at the distant figure, Yang Leyi was worried, her family didn't seem to be rich, she was too young to say now, and she was not familiar with the situation outside, so she had to wait for a little older to see if she could help, alas!

Under the big tree, the figures of an old man and a young man stood for a while.

Early the next morning, Mama Yin from the Yongle Hou Mansion sent a post to invite the old lady to the Hou Mansion the day after tomorrow.

This time happened to conflict with the time of entering the palace, and the old lady explained the reason and asked if she could spend a few more days.

Mama Yin is the grandma who came to talk in the Big Buddha Temple last time, she is the old man next to Mrs. Lin, she is very eye-catching and knows how to measure. After calculating the arrangements of his own Hou Mansion in his heart, he hurriedly decided five days later, and seeing that there was no problem here, he happily went back.

It is not uncommon for this queen to be summoned, and it is rare to keep it for dinner, which shows the importance attached to the Marquis of Wu'an.

The old lady met the people of the Yongle Marquis Mansion and the people in the palace, although it was not much, but she felt more and more that the gap came, and then looked at the people of their family, who were more than loyal, not clever enough, and the rules were much worse.

I turned around the beads and thought about how to improve the situation, so as not to make jokes when guests came to the door.
