Qian Manjiang said, "They are doing this favor to show goodwill to our Qian family, and the ultimate goal is to continue to get married." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info shows us to accept it, and it is also a blessing for our Qian family to be able to make friends with the Liang family. As for the rest, the fault is not ours. Liang Laoguogong's reputation in the court is very good, and they all say that he is shrewd and kind, worthy of befriending, and not so stingy. ”

Qian Sangui was relieved when he heard it. He added, "This time I accepted the kindness of the Liang family, but we owe them a great favor." ”

Qian Yixiu said, "Liang Guo's husband is chivalrous, and it is reasonable to know that we have difficulties and take the initiative to help. In the future, if they have anything difficult, we will also take the initiative to help. ”

After some discussion, the three ancestors and grandchildren all felt that they should accept the kindness of the Liang family.

In the evening, after the old man Qian and Mrs. Qian left, he asked people to go to Guixiangyuan to invite Wu Zuzhi and his son. The father and son also feel that Xijin County is better, not only because it is a level higher than the official university, but also because it is conducive to the development of their careers in the future.

Wu Zuzhi was so happy that his eyes turned red, and he said bluntly, "Such a good shortage, even Jinshi may not be able to find it." Brother-in-law, Man Jiang, Xiu'er, thank you. I never dreamed that we would have such a noble family. ”

Wu Qingshu stood up again and thanked them.

After several people discussed it, Qian Manjiang hurriedly went to the Liang Mansion and the Pan Mansion.

At the beginning of February, the weather is getting warmer. But on the 8th, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and the temperature also dropped suddenly.

On this day, Qian Manjiang was not on duty, and in the morning, he led Ming'er and Jing'er to build a snowman in the yard. Pan Yue opened the curtain and looked at her father-in-law's children with a good look, and went straight into the house regardless of the cold wind.

Frightened, Mama Zeng said, "County Lord, be careful of catching a cold." Uncle, brother and sister are moving, not afraid of the cold. You can't stand like that. ”

Seeing that Pan Yue didn't listen to persuasion, she asked the girl to put a cloak on her, and took a carved hand warmer and stuffed it into her hand.

Qian Manjiang is like Qian Sangui, especially protective of calves, and does not have the ideas of ancient fathers who must be strict or fathers do not hold their sons. He likes all three children and is willing to express his affection, which may be influenced by Pan Yue.

was having a lively time, and Qian Yixiu came, and he also ran over to play together. I was happy to play, and I grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into Daddy Jiang's neck. Ming'er and Jing'er did the same, and they both grabbed the snow and stuffed it into Qian Manjiang's sleeve. Qian Manjiang ran in front, and the three children chased behind, making Pan Yue and the girls giggle.

At this time, someone from the main courtyard reported that Uncle Wu had returned from the ministry, saying that he had sent the documents to the county magistrate. After Qian Manjiang heard this, he hurriedly took his children back to the house to change his clothes, and hurried to the main courtyard with Qian Yixiu.

Halfway down the road, I met Old Man Qian.

It was snowing today, so Old Man Qian didn't go out to drink tea and listen to books as usual. He was used to working all his life, and he couldn't stay idle in the house, so he went to the yard for a walk, and happened to meet Wu Qingshu, who was in high spirits.

Seeing that Wu Qingshu was elated, he asked, "Book boy, you are so happy, is it decided to go to the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Wu Qingshu stopped and gave him a look, and said, "The paperwork has come down, but instead of going to the Ministry of Rites, I will go to Xijin County to be a county magistrate." After saying that, he hurried to the main courtyard.

When the old man heard that he did not go to the Ministry of Rites, but went to some county to be a county leader, he was very happy. Walked back to Fuxi Hall quickly, and said to the old lady, "The boy of the Wu family didn't go to the Chengli Department, but went to some county to take care of mud legs." ”

The old lady crooked her mouth and asked, "Really?" Why? ”

"It's true, I just met him, and he said that the documents of the ministry have come down." Old man Qian said happily, wiped his beard again and said, "What else?" Then the boy of the Wu family is also a fellow Jinshi, and he still wants to enter the sixth department, and he also wants to be a close minister to the emperor, how is it possible? In the future, let Shanwa and Dewa be admitted to Jinshi and enter Beijing as Beijing officials. It is even more necessary to let San'er and Manjiang make more efforts and let them enter the Sixth Department as officials. ”

After speaking, he instructed a mother-in-law again, "Go, let your boy wait at the corner gate, and the old lady will go out to listen to the book." ”

Then, he combed his beard to the glass, put on a thick cotton robe, put on a leather hat, and went out singing a song.

Mrs. Qian scolded at his back, "If it snows so hard and you have to go out to wave, the dead old man is really looking for death." ”

As soon as Old Man Qian was discharged from the hospital, he saw Qian Manjiang and Qian Yixiu's father and daughter walking in the direction of the main courtyard.

He stopped Qian Manjiang, walked forward and said, "I heard that the boy of the Wu family was squeezed out of the Ministry of Rites by others and went to the county to take care of the mud legs?" ”

Qian Manjiang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully, "Alas, it's all because we don't have a hard way, and that person was kicked by someone else." ”

The old man was happy and said disapprovingly, "It's no wonder that our family is not hard, if you want to blame, you have to blame the Wu family boy for just being a fellow jinshi." Tongjinshi, like Mrs. Ru, how can he enter the six departments? ”

Qian Manjiang nodded and said, "That's what the master said." And he said, "Master, you can't take out these words and say them, for they will cause trouble." ”

Old man Qian waved his hand and said, "You are stupid." Ye is also a person who has seen the world, and he will not take out the door to say what he says at home. After saying that, he hummed a tune and left.

Qian Yixiu lowered his head and smiled secretly, Daddy Jiang has always been fooling.

In the landlord's side room, Wu Zuzhi's father and son were there, and they were talking to Qian Sangui and Wu. As soon as Qian Manjiang entered, Wu Qingshu got up and said, "The Ministry asked me to go to Xijin County to take up my post in half a month." ”

Qian Sangui also smiled, "When we get the paperwork, our hearts will be put in our stomachs, but the time is too rushed." ”

A few people discussed again, time was tight, and they had to let their subordinates go to Xijin County first to help the Wu family rent a two-entry yard. Wait until they have the ability to buy a house later. The father and son of the Wu family thanked Qian Sangui for his thoughtfulness, and they were even more anxious to hope that the rest of the Wu family would come to Beijing soon and go to work together at that time.

The Wu family was still a little reluctant to let them go. Wu Zuzhi said with a smile, "From the capital to Xijin County, it is more than three hours by car, and it is convenient to come and go." When the family is settled, my sister will go to my house for a few days. In the future, you will also have a place to hang out. Didn't you say that you still have a garden and a yard in Xijin County, and when you go there, you will come to live at my house. ”

At noon, Wu Zuzhi and his son were left to eat in the main courtyard, and the men also drank wine.

When the wine was drunk, the next person came to report that General Liang Jinzhao was here. When Qian Manjiang heard this, he hurriedly went to the front yard, and later, he sent someone to invite Wu Zuzhi and Wu Qingshu to the front yard and talked until it was getting dark.

Liang Jinzhao got up to say goodbye, and Qian Manjiang left him to drink. In normal times, Liang Jinzhao would definitely be willing, but not today. He shook his head and smiled, "No, I'll go home early today to accompany the old man, and I'll have to go to the camp early tomorrow morning." ”

Sending Liang Jinzhao away, Qian Manjiang and the three went back to the main courtyard directly.

In the hall, Mrs. Qian and Wu sat on the Luohan bed and talked, while Pan Yue played with the two children in the west room. It's almost dinner, except for Old Man Qian, all the masters have arrived.

In the east room, Qian Yixiu sat on the kang and hugged Qian Sangui's arm and laughed. Whenever he saw this scene, Qian Manjiang was envious, his daughter was much closer to her grandfather than her father.

Seeing the three of them coming, Qian Sangui asked, "What did the Liang family do in their later years?" ”

Qian Manjiang said that Liang Jinzhao asked people to understand the situation up and down in Xijin County, and specially came to tell them, so that Wu Qingshu could prepare in advance.

Wu Qingshu sighed, "I heard about General Liang's name in Zaozhou, saying that he was a military genius, born in a famous family, and had ambitions as a young man. But I didn't expect it to be so approachable. Although I have an old relationship with you, it is not easy to treat me, a sesame official from the seventh grade, so kindly...... With such a heavy snowfall, he rushed back to tell me these things. Tomorrow morning, I have to rush back again. Riding back and forth on this cold day, I really can't help it. ”

Grandma Wu also followed up, and when she heard this, she said to Qian Yixiu, "Then General Liang is also difficult for him." Come to think of it, since you knew him when you were a child, you have helped us a lot. Last time, Brother Monkey was trapped in Jiufengling, and he also led people to rescue them. ”

Qian Sangui also sighed and patted the back of Qian Yixiu's hand with his hand.

It snowed heavily for a whole day today, and Qian Yixiu thought about Liang Jinzhao running around in the wind and snow, and he felt a little uncomfortable. muttered, "He's just a fool, just write a letter and ask his subordinates to deliver it." ”

Wu Shi rushed out and said, "General Liang is not stupid, why did he run back in person......" Seeing his granddaughter's face was not good, he said, "Forget it, forget it, don't talk about that." ”

Qian Yixiu got up and went to the west room. When she went out, Wu Sangui said with a heavy face, "Look at you, just say these words, don't you want to make the child uncomfortable." ”

Wu Zuzhi and Wu Qingshu looked at each other, and seemed to understand why the Liang family was so enthusiastic. Seeing them like this, Qian Manjiang also told the story that the Liang family and the Qian family had been verbally engaged, but because of Liang Jinzhao's mother's opposition and being used by someone with a heart, they had to terminate the contract in the end.

Wu Zuzhi sighed, "It's a pity." ”

Wu Qingshu shouted at him, and he stopped in embarrassment.

After dinner, Qian Yixiu returned to Xiangxue Courtyard and went directly into the bedroom, the warm breath and faint incense dispelled the cold on her body. She took out a lacquered box from the drawer of the dresser, which contained most of the box's contents. It is Uncle Liang who has given himself gifts and written letters over the years, including toys, palace flowers, combs, and recently "Uncle Liang" dolls. These things have witnessed the growth of her body, from a six-year-old child to a fourteen-year-old girl. The title on the letter is also, little girl, girl, embroidery. The content is even more about the transfer of money to children, the heart-to-heart talk to little adults, and her bold confession to her when she grows up.

Uncle Liang was not always by her side, but he also grew up with her and gave her a lot of help.

It's just that...... The fate was so short-lived, and finally had to break up.

She looked at these things for a long time, then sighed and closed the lid and put the box in the cabinet.

Besides, Liang Jinzhao, he hurriedly returned to Liang's mansion, first went back to his yard to wash up, and then went to the main courtyard to see his mother Cui.

At this time, the lights were already on, the main courtyard was quiet, and the branches on the roof of the courtyard were full of snowflakes, and it was white. Only the red plum trees in full bloom in front of the upper window were illuminated by the faint light from the window, and a little red could be seen.

The snow on the plum blossoms must have been flicked down regularly by his mother.

His mother is like this, no matter how lonely and sad she is, she must live an elegant and delicate life, as proud and beautiful as this plum blossom.

When Mama Cui saw that Liang Jinzhao was back, she was extremely happy, and shouted in a loud voice, "Ouch, it's the young master who is back." Grandma, grandma, the boy is back to see you after such a heavy snowfall. ”

This voice suddenly made the yard noisy.

Cui was eating in the side room, and when he heard that his son was back, he hurriedly got off the kang to welcome him out. Liang Jinzhao had already entered the door, and Cui Shi pulled him and said, "Zhao'er, you are on duty today, why did you return home after such a heavy snow?" ”

Qian Jinzhao said with a smile, "When I go back to Beijing to do business today, I will go back to the house to see my mother, and I will return to the camp early tomorrow." ”

The mother and son entered the side room hand in hand, and there were a few delicate and light side dishes on the red sandalwood carved kang table. Cui Shi pulled Liang Jinzhao onto the kang and ordered, "Take these dishes down, let the small kitchen get some dishes that the young master likes to eat, and then warm the pot of wine." ”

Mama Cui smiled, "I've already been told, the young master loves meat, and he has it in the kitchen, and it will be ready in a short time." ”

My mother doesn't like big fish and meat, so she eats lightly, and the small kitchen is ready with meat dishes at any time, so it must be for his father, right?

Liang Jinzhao was a little uncomfortable, for his own sake, he let his mother be wronged. was not only reprimanded by the queen mother, but also reprimanded by her elders, and estranged from her mother's family, and even her father began to snub her.

Cui Shi wore a lilac-colored embroidered plum blossom satin jacket and a pomegranate red flower-sprinkled long skirt, and the makeup on his face was meticulous. Glamorous, dignified, not like a woman of nearly forty. She sat cross-legged in front of the kang, holding her son's hand, and smiling brightly.

Only Liang Jinzhao could see that his mother was much more haggard than before the accident. Although the makeup is exquisite, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are much more noticeable. When you smile happily, there will always be a flash of grief in your eyes.

Cui Suying more than 20 years ago was the first beauty in the capital. At that time, the five great families were not as depressed as they are now, although they were suppressed by the emperor, there were still many high-ranking officials in the court who were from these families. Cui's deceased grandfather is the servant of the ministry.

At that time, many families wanted to marry the daughters of these families, including the prince. Cui Suying is the most beautiful and dazzling of these family girls, and it can be said that there are hundreds of women in the family.

At that time, many of the daughters of the family looked down on Jiangmen, thinking that they were reckless, had no talent, and did not understand elegance. Their favorite is a young man like Pan Yuma, who is both talented and gentle like jade.

And Cui and Liang Yiqian fell in love at first sight at the plum banquet, and married Liang Yiqian despite the ridicule of their sisters.

It's just that Cui's heirs are difficult. Although she was pregnant as soon as she entered the door, she almost died because the fetus was too big. After giving birth for three days and two nights, the child was born, but Cui's was difficult to get pregnant because of heavy bleeding. What's even more unfortunate is that when my son was two years old, he almost fell seriously ill and died, and it was found that he had six epilepsy. If you have this disease, not only will you not be able to inherit the title, you will not be able to take the career of public service, but you are also likely to die. Cui's heartbroken heart and the desire to die.
