Chapter 234: Foreigners
On the second day of the lunar month, Huang Tie and Qian Xiaoyu got married. The two of them www.biquge.info have come through hardships with the Qian family, and their relationship with the masters is naturally much better.
On the first day, Qian Sangui rewarded them with fifty taels of silver, and each of the masters gave them congratulatory gifts. The two of them, plus Qian Hua and his wife, who had rushed back from the county seat, came to kowtow to the masters gratefully.
The wedding was very lively. Because Huang Tie is now in charge of the output of the moonlight in the lotus pond in the garden, and he is Qian Sangui's absolute henchman, Qian Xiaoyu's father Qian Hua is the treasurer of the splendid line, not only the subordinates of the family, long-term workers, and villagers with good relationships in the neighborhood came to the wedding banquet, but even many faceless people in the county came, including the Cui shopkeeper's family, Qian Mandie and his wife, and Xiao Zhang's divine doctor. In addition to Qian Sangui, the masters also went to the banquet very respectfully.
After getting married, Qian Xiaoyu will still work as an errand in Wangjiang Tower, and will be promoted to the housekeeper's mother, known as Huang Tie's family or Huang's sister-in-law. Replacing her place was a girl named Chenyu, who was newly bought two months ago, delicate and clever, just turned twelve years old, and followed Qian Xiaoyu to work in Wangjiang Tower as soon as she came.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the sun was shining. Although the sun at this time does not have much temperature, the bright smiling face is very comfortable.
At that time, Qian Yixiu left Linhe Garden after school. As soon as I entered the moon gate, I could faintly see the sister-in-law Huang who had combed the woman's head and was helping Cheng Yue in front of the Wangjiang Tower. The little lady was waiting for her to accompany her to Hexi Garden for a walk after school, and Chenyu on the side was still holding a cloak in her hand.
Cheng Yue's belly is already very big. She touched her stomach with one hand and held her waist with the other. Suddenly, she looked down at her stomach and said happily to Sister-in-law Huang, "It's moving, the child is moving again." ”
The joyful expression made her round face a little more vivid and beautiful. Because Qian Manjiang went to the border pass, Cheng Yue was really sad for a few days. Later, under the persuasion of his family, he gradually calmed down. I am pregnant with twins again, how capable I am, Brother Jiang will definitely be very happy when he knows it. For the sake of the child, she also has to rest well, give birth to the child peacefully, and wait for Brother Jiang to come back to praise her.
Qian Yixiu looked at the pot-bellied little mother, she has been pregnant for seven months, and in her previous life, she heard that pregnant women who are pregnant with twins are prone to premature birth. In this era, pregnant women giving birth are like walking around the ghost gate, and the danger of giving birth to twins is even greater. Although she often invited doctors and midwives to come to her home to check Cheng Yue's pulse or touch her stomach, she was still not at ease.
Qian Yixiu had an idea, and remembered Dr. Du in Sanxian Town, so he simply gave more money and invited Mrs. Du to live at home. With this experienced gynaecologist, you have to rest assured.
Qian Yixiu felt that this method was very good, and told Cheng Yue that she had something to do to go to her aunt's house, and asked Sister-in-law Huang to accompany her for a walk. Although Cheng Yue was a little disappointed, she still pouted and agreed.
Qian Yixiu praised, "My mother is really good," and touched her belly and said, "In the future, my younger brother will also be obedient and as well-behaved as my mother." ”
Cheng Yue pursed her lips and laughed, and with the support of Sister-in-law Huang, she slowly walked towards Hexi Garden.
Qian Yixiu went back to the house and put away the study supplies, and went to the main courtyard to discuss with Grandpa Sangui and Grandma Wu. Qian Sangui and his wife listened to this method, and they also felt good, but they didn't know if the family Du Yipo was willing, but now it was almost the New Year.
Qian Yixiu said, "Then let's give her more silver." I'll go to my aunt's house now and ask my brother-in-law to go to Sanxian Town to ask for Mrs. Du. ”
Qian Sangui asked Wu to take fifty taels of silver, ten feet of silk, and ten catties of snacks and candy for Qian Yixiu, and said, "Tell Doctor Du that these silver will be given first, and after the child is successfully born, she will be given fifty taels." ”
Qian Yixiu carried the silver ticket and walked towards Darong Village with the white beads and purple beads carrying many things.
When I entered the village, I saw many villagers talking in groups of five or three, and many others wiping their tears. Only then did she remember that today was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the day when the strong men left.
Just like many years ago, under the leadership of Li Zheng, the strong men first went to the county to gather, and then went to the Xizhou capital to train.
It depends on the situation that people sent the strong men away.
Seeing these sad people wiping away tears, Qian Yixiu remembered the sad appearance of the family when they sent their little father away more than ten years ago. Of the more than 30 people who left the village, only eight returned, and a few were disabled.
I don't know how many of these people who left will eventually come back. Qian Yixiu couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Except for Fan Erheizi, Qian Yixiu hopes that everyone can come back safely, including the annoying Li Shuzi. Although Li Shuzi is disgusted, his crime is not to death. But Fan Erheizi, he owes a life in his hands, I hope God accepts him.
I heard a few men say in a loud voice that this time Ji'an Province is going to gather 20,000 soldiers to go north, and more than 10,000 people have already gone in advance. And these thousands of recruits will train outside the Xizhou Mansion for half a month before going north, and the one who trains these thousands of recruits is a general surnamed Huo.
Qian Yixiu thought of General Huo Xiao, who came to his house to hunt, and General Huo, who led the recruits, didn't know if it was his father.
When I came to Wanjia, my little aunt was sitting in the yard with Sister Fang in her arms basking in the sun. The little aunt was wearing a willow blue embroidered satin cotton robe, because her plump figure looked even more exquisite, and her round face was full of maternal love and happiness.
Seeing Qian Yixiu coming, he hurriedly greeted, "Xiu'er, come and see Sister Fang'er, she can laugh out loud." ”
Sure enough, Qian Yixiu teased, and Sister Fang giggled with her toothless little mouth, and she looked like a little aunt when she laughed.
Qian Yixiu smiled, "Sister Fang looks more and more like an aunt the older she gets, and she laughs more like her." After speaking, he took out the small cloak and hat made by the Wu family and gestured to Sister Fang.
Wan Dazhong walked out of the wing room and said with a smile, "It's good to be like your aunt." If it's like an uncle, I'm afraid it's not easy to find my in-laws. ”
Then Wan Erniu, who came out of the upper room, was unhappy and scolded, "What did you say?" The daughter of my family, I don't have to worry about getting married. After speaking, he smiled and squinted his eyes and took Sister Fang from Qian Manxia's hand, and the two big hands like a pu fan were spread out side by side, as wide as half of Sister Fang's body.
Qian Yixiu told Wan Dazhong that he wanted to invite Dr. Du to take care of the little lady at home.
Wan Dazhong nodded and said, "This method is good, I'll go to Sanxian Town to find Doctor Du now." ”
Qian Yixiu ate dinner at Wanjia before returning to the garden.
In the evening, Wan Dazhong came to return to the garden, saying that Dr. Du had agreed and would come tomorrow.
Mrs. Qian, who was returning to the garden for dinner, heard that she had spent so much silver to invite her mother-in-law's family to take care of Cheng Yue, and her face was so distressed that her face wrinkled into buns. said, "God, it costs all that money to have a child, and she is not a princess or a county lord, is she so noble?" ”
Qian Yijin said with a smile, "Grandma, my mother is now the wife of a five-rank official, so she is naturally noble." ”
Mrs. Qian remembered that her grandson was a five-grade official, and Cheng Yue would be the wife of the Emperor in the future. smiled, "No, it's too big and confused." ”
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qian Yijin and Qian Yixiu's little brother and sister have a long vacation, and they will be put on the twentieth day of the first month of next year.
The day suddenly changed, the weather was gloomy and there was light snow. The little brother and sister were dressed thickly, sat in a carriage, and took two ox carts to Xishan County.
They went to give New Year's gifts to the county lord Wang's family, the county Chengwu family's family, the Zhang family, the Qian Xiang family, and the Lao Yu family. Now Lord Wang and Lord Wu are very polite to the Qian family, not only because Qian Manjiang is a five-grade military attaché, but also because he is now working under Prince Ning and is Prince Ning's henchman.
The New Year's gift sent to the Song family in the provincial capital was sent by Huang Tie a few days ago, and Steward Wang also sent the New Year's gift from the Song Mansion to the Qian family to the return garden. Now Song Siye, who manages the affairs of the Song family, has taken a look at the Qian family several times, and the New Year's gift to the Qian family is naturally much better than in previous years.
I heard that Master Song's family has returned to the capital, and through the relationship between Liang Lao Guogong, Lord Song has successfully recovered and continued to be a household attendant. And the person who succeeded him as the head of the household three years ago has been rebranded because he is a party of the three princes. Second Master Song is still waiting for a vacancy, and it is said that he already has eyebrows.
The New Year's gift that the Qian family sent to Cui's shopkeeper's house and the Guoliang Mansion in Beijing was sent at the beginning of the month, and Cui's shopkeeper had returned to Beijing.
At the same time, the shopkeeper Cui took it to the capital, as well as the letter and gift written by Qian Yixiu and Qian Yijin to Liang Jinzhao alone.
The letters of the two siblings were written separately, and the content written by Qian Yijin was mainly to wish Liang Jinzhao a hundred feet high, and wrote two pages. Qian Yixiu wrote more than a dozen pages and said some clichés wishing him success in his career, and then he wrote a lot of "imagination" about firearms, trying to open up new ideas for them in the development of firearms.
For example, can we make a fire cry that can fly in the sky like a bird, can we make a firearm that explodes when you step on it when it is buried under the surface, and can we make a firearm that explodes when thrown like a stone in the enemy's army...... At least a dozen, completely in the tone of an innocent little girl.
After Qian Yijin read the letter last night, she pulled her bag and said, "Sister Yin, you think about it, you should make firearms as a little girl?" The birds and stones are all on it. ”
Qian Yixiu said with a smile, "No matter what you do, I'm not afraid that I can't do it, I'm just afraid that I can't think of it." Maybe they can make it. ”
The brother and sister had already discussed, and the two acted separately, Qian Yijin went to Wang's family, Wu's family, and Lao Yu's house to give New Year's gifts, and Qian Yixiu went to Qian Xiang's house and Zhang's family to give New Year's gifts. Finally, the two went to Fairview to meet and go home together.
Qian Yixiu sent it to Qian Xiang's family first, and then sent it to Zhang's family, but Mrs. Zhang stayed in Zhang's house for dinner, and teased Brother Yu'er. The child is one and a half years old, extremely beautiful, chubby, and handed a bald scoop, walks staggeringly, holding Qian Yixiu and calling "sister", very cute.
Huang Yuexian was pregnant again, which made the Zhang family crazy. The Zhang family has been passed down for several generations, but I didn't expect to find a daughter-in-law who seems to be delicate, and she is quite able to give birth.
Doctor Zhang Xiaoshen has now faded all his youth and grown into a gentle and elegant young uncle. When he went to Qian's house to give a New Year's gift three days ago, he also checked Cheng Yue's pulse.
After the meal, Huang Yuexian led Brother Yu to take a lunch break, and Qian Yixiu accompanied Mrs. Zhang to talk for a while, and then offered to leave.
The old lady pulled her and was reluctant to let go, and Song smiled, "Mother-in-law look outside, it's already raining lightly." I have to let my sister go back early, I'm afraid it will be colder if it's late. ”
The old lady couldn't, so she let people go.
Qian also embroidered out of Zhang's mansion and went directly to Jinxiuxing. Outside, it was even more gloomy, with light snow and light rain.
Wei had been waiting at the gate of the backyard of Jinxiuxing, and when he saw Qian Yixiu getting out of the carriage, he hurriedly wrapped a cloak in his hand around her, and led her into the courtyard with an umbrella. He also said, "Why did you choose to go out today, how cold it is." ”
Qian Yixiu said, "My brother and I just have a holiday today. ”
Entering a side room in the backyard, there was a carbon basin burning in it, and Wei took a small copper hand stove and handed it to Qian Yixiu.
Holding the warm hand stove, Qian Yixiu, who was so cold that his hands and feet were a little hairy, was better.
Wei said with a smile, "Sister will sit for a while, and my brother hasn't come back yet." It must be Yu Jiaqiang who stayed, and his brother was shallow, so he had to stay in his house for a while. He smiled mysteriously, "There is a golden haired ghost in the line today, his hair is golden, his eyes are green, his skin is as white as rice paper, and the hair on his face is half an inch long. Oh my God, it's scary to look at, even more scary than the Persians I saw in Beijing. ”
Qian Yixiu was stunned, isn't this what Europeans look like? She knew that in addition to the countries around Daqian, the people who often did business with Daqian were the people from the Western Regions, Persians, and Indians who came through the Silk Road. But this person's appearance is obviously not from Central Asia or West Asia, but from European.
He asked, "What is the monster doing here?" Where did it come from? ”
Wei Shi said in a low voice, "He was brought over by the Lin Qing brothers of the dart game. The Lin brothers went to Pengchu in Guangdong, and when they were playing at sea, they suddenly encountered a typhoon and were swept into the sea. I was rescued by the golden retriever who came to our big smuggling, and I heard that their ship was so big that they didn't dare to dock, and stopped on a small island not far from Pengchong. They would often go ashore quietly at night to come to Daqian in exchange for rare things. In order to thank them for saving their lives, Brother Lin brought a golden retriever to Ji'an, wanting to buy some good things to take back. ”
"What about people?" Qian Yixiu asked.
"I am on the third floor of the shop, and my head of the house is introducing him to the things of our splendid shop. He had spices in his hand, and glass ornaments and marbles that were so delicate that they were better than those that had been passed down from Persia. There was also a small box that could sing, which was really eye-opening. My boss said that these things are worth a lot of money, and I have to find a way to change them. ”
Qian Yixiu got up and walked out. Wei said in the back, "Sister, don't go, that golden retriever is very scary, don't scare you." ”
Qian Yixiu didn't stop, and said with a smile, "No matter how scary it is, can there be wild things scary?" I'm not afraid of wolves and snakes, but I'm afraid of him? ”
came to a room on the third floor, in which sat Qian Hua, Lin Qing, and a foreigner wearing a long brocade robe of the Great Qianchao. The foreigner is in his twenties, with shoulder-length instant noodle blonde hair, a high nose and blue eyes, and a golden beard around his lips.
When Qian Yixiu saw this foreigner, he actually had the feeling of seeing someone from his hometown. I would like to say a greeting:
hi,howareyou?
ps: Thank you for the tip and monthly pass, thank you! (To be continued.) )
