Chapter 919: Xiyuan
Because he planned to live in Fucheng for a few more days this time, Xiao Qi also followed. β»β»There are two children at home, Xiaolong and Xiaohu, although there are stewards and daughters-in-law to take care of, after all, they are still not very relieved, so before the family left, they sent the car and took Li from the pot.
When the farm is not working, the Li family has nothing to do at home. Come and live like this, first, you can help your daughter's aunt take care of the house, second, you can take care of your two grandchildren personally, and third, you can get closer to Zhang Caiyun, and it will be convenient to take care of Zhang Caiyun when she is about to give birth.
Because of these conveniences, both the Zhang family and the Li family are happy. Especially the Li family, although two more grandchildren have been added to the family in the past two years, Xiaolong and Xiaohu are always not around, and she misses them strangely.
The affairs of the school, with Mr. Qu, there is no need to worry about everything. The affairs of the family are left to the steward Han Zhong and Han Zhong's daughter-in-law to take care of them inside and outside, and as for other things, there are also people who are deacons such as the head of the village, as long as they act according to the previous rules.
The family left a message before going out, and as soon as the matter should be done, these people can follow the rules and make decisions, and if there is really an important matter that cannot be decided, they will send someone to the city to report the news. In addition, he also entrusted the Wu family, the Lu family and other relatives to help with the cooking.
Everything is well arranged, and the family is thirty miles away from the camp, so there is nothing to worry about.
When traveling, it was still in the morning, and I arrived at Jinyang County at noon, rested for a while, and got up the next day and went straight to Fucheng.
September in Liaodong Mansion has entered the frost season. The family got up early and went out of the city, and saw that the trees on both sides of the official road were covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, until nearly noon, when the sun warmed up, the frost on the trees melted away, but the frost on the acres on both sides of the land was difficult to disperse for a long time. You can still see the wet and cold soaking.
At this time, the wet cold is only immersed in the most surface layer of the acre, and when it enters the winter, the cold becomes more intense, and the surface layer of the entire acre will be frozen, which is the unique permafrost of Liaodong Prefecture. Although the frozen ground may sound cold and cold, it may seem bad, but it is actually a good thing.
Permafrost retains water and thaws the following year. It is the fertile soil that is most suitable for growing crops. The land of Liaodong Prefecture is fertile and the crops are abundant, thanks to this frozen soil.
There were a large number of carts in the family, and there were stewards, family members and servants who rode mules or walked on the left and right sides of the family. In the first car, Goro was seated. Immediately followed in the second cart. It was Zhang and Lian Man'er who sat in the car, and after that, Lian Shouxin and Xiaoqi father and son sat in a car. There were several big cars behind them, two of which were sitting on the girls and daughters-in-law who were waiting closely, and the rest of the cars were the personal luggage and belongings of a family of people, as well as the tuyi and other things brought from the village.
The very rear of the convoy. There were also a few tall horses on the leash, all of them fat and strong, with bright bridles, and there were special people to take care of them, which were prepared for Gorou and they to ride.
Family-oriented. It is also the largest number of people and the largest pomp and circumstance this time.
said that it was pomp, but outsiders looked at their many vehicles, and they were all neat and distinct. In fact, they walked on the road and did not put on any pomp. Even the deacons were not put out, but the vehicles were hung with lanterns that marked the rank of trustworthy officer. Be that as it may. The official rank and ligature marks are placed there, and ten people on the road know that it is her family. There may be other vehicles on the road, and everyone avoids or avoids them according to the rules.
On this day, the weather was warm and there was no wind, or when there were no people on the official road, Lian Man'er would lift the curtain and look at the scenery outside with Zhang.
On both sides of the official road are rows of poplar trees, and the mountains and forests near and far are all red and dyed all over the mountains, and under the high blue sky, it makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Lian Man'er was happy to see it, and Wulang and Xiaoqi both rode over and followed Lian Man'er and Zhang's carriage unhurriedly.
The weather was good, this road was smooth and there were few people, and the two brothers were tired of sitting in the car, so they came out to change horses and ride. When Lian Man'er saw it, he couldn't help but be a little envious.
Shen Liu gave her a good horse, and even Shouxin and Zhang's didn't stop her from learning to ride, but she could only ride in her own yard, and when she came out to ride, she couldn't. Not for anything else, but Zhang was worried that she would be a girl after all, and she was afraid that she would accidentally fall.
"That's not fun, your daughter's family is not the same as your brother and your brother." Zhang said to Lian Man'er.
Zhang's idea is very realistic, riding a horse is not as good as riding a car or walking, and in the eyes of the Zhuang family, it is dangerous after all. It doesn't matter if the boy falls on a horse. But girls can't, in case they hurt their faces, it's a big deal. Or if you hurt your hands and feet, it's also a big deal.
To put it bluntly, girls rely on their appearance, but boys don't need to rely on this.
Although Zhang is easy to talk to, Lian Man'er knows that there is no negotiable matter in the matter of horseback riding, so he doesn't mention it, only saying that the scenery is beautiful.
"This is good, but it can only be considered average." Gorou glanced around, then said with a smile, "When we get to Fucheng and pick a day with good weather, I will take you to Jiuyun Mountain outside the city, where there are large maple forests, and now is the best time to look." β
"Okay, that's settled." When Lian Man'er heard this, she immediately said happily, and turned her head to look at Zhang with a smile, "Mother, when the time comes, our family will go." β
"What's so nice about a mountain." Zhang laughed. She grew up in the mountains, and since she was a child, she has lived in beautiful scenery, and she sees these things as normal.
Although Zhang said so, he saw that his son and daughter were very happy, and then nodded.
"Okay, let's go, let's go as a family." Zhang said with a smile on his face. It doesn't matter where you go or what you do, what matters is that you are together as a family, then you are the happiest and happiest.
"Sister, let's bring a few horses with us then." Xiao Qi winked at Lian Man'er and said.
Lian Man'er understood, smiled and nodded.
Along the way, in addition to resting and drinking tea, the family only played a tip in Fuyuan County, and in the evening, they finally came to Fucheng and settled in the house in Songshu Hutong.
When everyone got out of the car, it was inevitable that they would be busy, and when they were roughly cleaned up, it was already time to turn the lights. Because of the fatigue of the journey, the family washed up a little, ate dinner, and rested.
Early the next morning, Lian Man'er got up, and after washing, he came out of the house with a few girls, went out of the moon gate in the west, and strolled into the garden.
This garden covers an area of about 15 acres, in which flowers, trees, mountains and stones, small bridges and flowing water, rockery waterfalls, and even pavilions and pavilions are all prepared. This is an industry that Lian Man'er's family coincidentally bought last year.
Originally, this large garden was owned by a wealthy merchant surnamed Chu, and it was only separated by a wall from the house of Lian Man'er. Last year, the wealthy merchant wanted to sell the garden because of something. Lian Man'er was in Fucheng at that time, and when she learned the news, she immediately asked Ya Yu to mediate the match, and neatly bought the garden and made her own garden.
Lian Man'er originally liked this garden very much, and after buying it, she didn't build any more civil engineering, and only opened two doors to facilitate her own entry and exit. Lian Man'er discussed with Gorou again, changed the name of the original garden, and put on a plaque, Gorou's handwriting, and nominated it as the West Garden.
Lian Man'er took a look at Xiyuan, didn't go far, only cut a few hibiscus, and went to Zhang's house.
Zhang got up earlier than Lian Man'er, and was sitting on the kang at the moment, with a red lacquer tray on the small kang table at hand, and a pile of posts on it.
"Went up into the garden? It's so early, it's weirdly cold, come and sit. Zhang beckoned Lian Man'er to sit down and pointed out those posts to her, "Take a look, it is a post for our mother." β
Lian Man'er greeted Zhang's and asked the girl to put the flowers in a bottle, and then sat opposite Zhang's, picked up the post and looked at it, it was really a post where the prefectures invited their mothers and daughters to eat wine and watch the play.
"Mother, this was sent early in the morning?" Lian Man'er looked at them one by one and asked Zhang.
"Your brother sent someone to send it just now, saying that they sent it two days ago." Zhang said. Before they came to Fucheng, they had informed them, and the people who had dealings with them also knew about the letter, so they specially sent invitations in advance.
Gorou and Xiaoqi have both passed the exam, and they have not yet served wine in Fucheng.
"And your father, your brother and theirs, your brother has stayed in front." Zhang told Lian Man'er again.
Even Man'er had already finished reading the post at this time, and calculated the recent arrangements in his heart, but the dates were all staggered, so he told Zhang one by one.
ββ¦β¦ These companies, we all have dealings, since the next post is invited, there is no reason not to go. Wait for someone to write a reply, instructing the person in charge in front of you, and then prepare for us to go out. Lian Man'er said.
"Okay." Zhang's full of promises that whenever the family should come and go for favors and entertainment, Zhang's will discuss with Lian Man'er, and he is almost obedient to Lian Man'er.
The two of them talked again, and the ladies in charge came in to deal with the matter, and even Man'er dealt with them one by one, and Zhang saw that the time was not early, so he ordered the meal to be opened, and sent people to the front yard to invite Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi to come over.
Lian Shouxin got up early like Zhang, and then went to the front yard.
After a while, even Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi came, the girls put breakfast on the table, and the family sat around the table, still the same as when they were in the countryside. As long as everyone is there, they usually eat together, and they feel that they are still so affectionate.
Because in autumn, in order to prevent autumn dryness, bird's nest porridge was prepared for breakfast, and various sweet or salty snacks such as crab roe buns and exquisite side dishes were set up on the table. After the family finished breakfast, the table was removed, and the little girl brought another fragrant tea, and everyone sat down to drink it, and then discussed family affairs.
The first thing is to go to visit everywhere, and then I plan to set up a two-day play and wine at home, and there is an invitation to go everywhere.
