Chapter 728: Whispers One
The day of Du Yunqi's remarriage is set for November at the end of the year, just when he returns to Beijing to report on his work, if he is re-elected, he will return to office with his wife and children.
Ding Wenfu is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looks forward to her daughter getting married! She began to help her daughter prepare a dowry when she was very young, among which the wood used for making furniture is the most rare, to suit her wishes, the price is reasonable, the wood must be large enough, and it is best to be able to build a complete set of furniture, such as a bed and a set of tables and chairs, and cabinets, cages, no matter how bad, the bed should be made of a whole piece of wood, as for the tables, chairs, cabinets and cages, you can use different pieces of wood to do.
When she returned to Beijing to report on her work, she did not bring the wood prepared for her daughter into Beijing, but later sent the steward back to her hometown to send a festival gift, and let them be escorted into Beijing on the way back, and the size of the new house should be measured before the furniture was made.
Fan Anyang is very cooperative, the sister-in-law who is about to enter the door is also her best cousin, she only hopes that after her cousin enters the door, she can be harmonious with the family and the family.
Speaking of which, Wang Jinyuan's friendship with her is really much deeper than that of Ding Xiao'an's sisters, Ding Xiao'an's sisters only became intimate after entering Beijing, Wang Jinyuan is almost the first friend she made after she arrived in Tanglin, Ding Xiaolou didn't like himself at first! Wang Jinyuan is also at odds with Ding Xiaolou.
Who would have thought that three people would be so good now?
Thinking of Ding Xiaolou, Fan Anyang thought of several cousins of his second uncle's family, and asked Ding Wenfu, who came to measure the size again.
In fact, I have said it before, but I have said it in one sentence, and I didn't talk about it much. After all, she was raising a fetus at that time, and the elders were worried that she would not be able to raise it, and then the fetus was stable, so she was worried about giving birth to a boy and a girl.
Now that she asked, Ding Wenfu told her one by one that her cousins didn't need to be mentioned, they were all in Beijing, so Ding Wenfu started with her eldest niece Ding Xiaofen, Ding Xiaofen is the eldest daughter of the second room. She is also the eldest granddaughter of her generation. Her father-in-law passed away a few years ago, and her husband was worried because of this, and the husband and wife took their children back to their hometown to keep filial piety, and their sons had already entered school. The results are not bad.
Fan Anyang nodded. She hadn't seen this big cousin. When she went to Tanglin that year, she was already married, and it seemed that she had just given birth to a child. He did not return to his parents' house, so he went to his post with her husband.
The second cousin, the third cousin, the tenth cousin and the fourteenth cousin are all the daughters of the eldest uncle, the second cousin and the tenth cousin all passed away in the earthquake, the third cousin and the fourteenth cousin died early, and the fake Ding Xiaoqing is the position of the fourteenth cousin, her biological mother took her back to Beijing, and the real Ding Xiaoqing returned to her roots and was buried in the ancestral grave.
The fourth cousin Ding Xiaoxiang, the fifth cousin Ding Xiaozhen and the seventh cousin Ding Xiaoyan are all in the second room, and they are also those who took Fan Anyang to school and went out as guests at the beginning, Ding Xiaoxiang's mother-in-law is a steproom, and she is not very close to several stepchildren, but she has a good heart, and Ding Xiaoxiang has a good idea in the past few years.
Why not pick a place of abundance? First, the direction of the place is not good, there are many local fathers, factions, complex entanglements of interests, a little careless, maybe the errand is not done, it will be used as a scapegoat, the second is how many abilities of the children from home, their own family knows, rather than let him go to the place of wealth and glory, three or two will let people lead the nose away, it is better to let him go to a secluded place, more can have a chance to shine, although it is a little harder, but since the emperor is poor, he will not be able to come out if he does not endure hardships, I would rather let him suffer more when he is young and learn how to protect himself, And don't be calculated and unaware of the future.
Ding Xiaozhen's mother-in-law's ancestor passed away, her father-in-law and husband have to keep filial piety, she naturally wants to stay in Huzhou, Ding Xiaoyan just conceived her second child, her husband's magistrate died of a sudden illness last month, he and another colleague were ordered to temporarily manage the affairs of the yamen, he is young and shallow, and he thinks that another colleague is likely to make up for the lack of the magistrate.
"Your grandmother wrote to her and told her, don't worry, your grandson-in-law is still young and has an opportunity, besides, the other party is senior and has been operating in the local area for many years, if your grandson-in-law makes up for this shortage, it is difficult to ensure that the other party will not secretly stumble!"
Fan Anyang nodded frequently, Ding Wenfu came today and brought a small snack made by his daughter, saying that he wanted to give Fan Anyang a taste, but in fact, he wanted to give Xiao Niannian sister and brother to eat.
Xiaobao had been thinking about it for a long time, but her sister grabbed it and didn't let him run around, "Auntie and aunt have something to do, let's help aunt take care of my brother, if you run around, my brother will cry for a while, who will help me coax him?" ”
Xiaobao thought about it, nodded obediently, he sat cross-legged on the kang with bamboo in the window, today because he was busy with the war, the emperor did not move to Xishan to leave the palace for summer vacation, their sister and brother are the first time to spend the summer in the capital, although the house has put ice, but it is still hot, especially since the end of April, there has not been a drop of rain, the whole Kyoto is like a big oven, some of the bluestone bricks in the yard can not withstand the sun and the heat burst out, Moxiang They have sent people to inspect, the crack is big, it has to be replaced and repaved.
Every afternoon, when the sun is in the west, the mother-in-law has to start sprinkling water on the ground to cool down.
At first, Xiaobao loved to see the water vapor steaming up the ground, but after a few days, he lost interest, and now he prefers to sit in a house with an ice basin and play with toys for his younger brother.
Xiaoxu is only a full moon soon, and there are many times to fall asleep, Mama Fan explained to the nurse early that she should adjust the child's time, if you can try to let him play every day, sleep at night, and don't make noise about him if he doesn't wake up after falling asleep, sleep quality is very important.
Fan Anyang nodded secretly, remembering that the dean's mother said that the sleeping baby grows up fast, and when the dean's mother said this, she kept looking at her and laughing, and several nuns also looked at her and smiled.
Said that when she arrived in the hospital, she was probably just born, thin and small, crying like a kitten, they thought they would not be able to support her, they were very worried about her, she was the youngest to the hospital, and the mother and nuns of the dean had never brought such a small child.
She always got up in the middle of the night to check if she was still breathing, but when she was about a month old, she didn't get up at night to drink milk, and she had drunk milk at ten or eleven o'clock the night before, and she slept until dawn. The nuns were very worried, afraid that she would be hungry, and always wanted to shake her up to drink milk, but the aunt who was in charge of the kitchen said, "It's all right!" It is a blessing for the child to be able to sleep, she is going to be hungry, she will wake up, do not be afraid.
The dean's mother said that they did as the kitchen aunt said, but she quickly grew milk fat because she was originally thin. It's so round and cute!
Xiao Xu was born at term. As soon as she was born, she was round and mellow, and I heard Mrs. Ding say that when she and Xiaolu were born, they were really like kittens. Neither of them combined is a little heavier. It was dangerous to be pregnant with twins. At that time, Aunt Zhou was still at home, and the woman had never been born in peace, so Mama Ding led people to guard it tightly. didn't let her succeed.
When Fan Anyang sent her aunt back, she saw Mama Fan smiling, and couldn't help but ask curiously, knowing that the little niece was sensible, her hands couldn't help but itch, so she took the album and drew that scene.
That night, Du Yunxun came back, and it was rare to return to the room and not plant himself in the studio, which surprised everyone, Fan Anyang also looked up at the sky, there was no vision!
"Why didn't you enter the studio today?"
"I want to rest." He didn't want to say that when he went out of Taixue today, he was blocked on the road, not a group, but two groups of people, the first group was two pretty maids, saying that the ten girls of her family wanted to invite him to the restaurant to talk, he ignored it, they were blocked on the road crying and making trouble, and the second group was sent by the palace, a group of eight people, mighty and majestic imperial guards.
The sound of their uniform horses' hooves came from far and near, and before they reached him, the two maids immediately lost their faces, turned around and wanted to leave, but they didn't want to be ordered to be taken down by the commander of the imperial guards, so he followed them into the palace, as he expected, the emperor summoned him into the palace, to ask him about the map of Suzhou City, and the other is when the painting on the day of the expedition can be good.
Du Yunxun was originally shocked by the magnificent military appearance, and wanted to paint that scene as soon as possible, but when the emperor asked him this, he calmed down instead, and replied to the emperor that if he wanted to paint it well, he couldn't be in a hurry, he had to take his time.
When he got home, he didn't want to go into the studio, he wanted to calm down for a few days.
Fan Anyang didn't say much, and asked people to bring the children, let their second uncle play with them, and handed over his son to Du Yunxun by the way.
Mo Xiang was so nervous that she couldn't do it, but it was Mama Fan who was very relieved, "It is to let them get along with each other more, and this relationship will be good, you see, when the eldest prince came back from Meizhou, this way was taken by his father, and when he returned to Beijing, what is delicious and fun, he has to leave it to his father!" ”
is also said, even now, the eldest prince still talks about his father from time to time, but the eldest lady has never talked about her father, but the first purse that her female red learned to make was given to her father, and the second young master was so red! didn't say anything, but when he turned around, he pestered the second young grandmother to make him a purse.
Fan Anyang is more sharp with a pen than with a needle, and the purse made can only be said to be unsatisfactory, but when she saw her husband's disgust, she was ruthless and asked Yanyue to sew her a plain purse, and after it was done, she directly painted it with oil paint.
Du Yun found love and couldn't put it down, and immediately put it on, and then he only used the purse painted by Fan Anyang, Fan Anyue's brain moved fast, so he launched a plain purse with a good pattern in the Yan family's calligraphy and painting shop, so that those who have the heart to paint, but don't have the confidence to paint well, buy it back and paint it themselves, because the pattern has been drawn, and after going back, as long as the color is filled in according to the color marked in the drawing, it is simple and not easy to make mistakes, and many people buy it back and do it themselves.
People with painting skills, naturally do not need to sell in a shop, they can do it themselves, but the general people in the market are happy to buy it back and let their children play, a set of two purses, different colors and patterns, a set of oil paints, a small box, painting two purses is more than enough.
Fan Anyang built him and named the suit filial piety bag, because there was no need to use needles and threads, even boys could draw beautiful purses to send to their mothers.
As soon as this filial piety package was launched, it quickly became a trend among students.
Girls learn needlework since childhood, it is easy to be a purse to honor the elders, but boys, they don't know how to needle, every time they meet the elders of the family to do a piece or have any happy events, when they need to give gifts, they always let them work hard, every time they send their own calligraphy and paintings, always feel that it is not better than the sisters' needlework, and now with this filial piety bag, it gives them one more choice.
Yan's calligraphy and painting shop because of this filial piety package, business is very good, at the end of the year, everyone is smiling toothless.
However, soon there were imitations, but the Yan family calligraphy and painting shop regularly innovated, the color of the purse will change with the season, of course, the pattern on the top also changed, and later evolved into someone specially collecting their filial piety bag.
After Yan Chi knew, he stroked his beard and said triumphantly to Old Man You, "Look, the apprentice I accepted is stronger than yours!" ”
Fan Anyue is really a good seedling for business!
Old man You's most proud apprentice became the son of the world, and began to learn to take care of the housework, although he was smart, but after all, he couldn't compare with Fan Anyue, Old Man You could only be in vain, the apprentice couldn't do business, and the apprentice's daughter-in-law was very business-minded.
It's just that compared with the Yan family's calligraphy and painting shop, it's not half a star!
On this day, Mrs. Nanjing Bo Shizi came to visit, and Fan Anyang almost couldn't recognize anyone, because Mrs. Mo Shizi was happy, and the whole person became round, not only with a round face, but also with flesh on the back of her hand, which greatly subverted the sad impression she had left on the people of Du Mansion before.
But also, when she took her sister and Du Yun to find Huzhou, she was persecuted by the clan during the period of filial piety for her parents, and she tried her best to protect the property left by her parents to their sisters, and to protect herself and her sister from being calculated by the clansmen.
Later, I went to my aunt's house, and I had to worry that I was not young, and my life's major events were still undecided, but now it's okay! married to a good family, the husband is young and promising, the husband and wife are harmonious, the in-laws are generous and loving, the son is lively and healthy, and the small life is very beautiful, and now she is pregnant with her second child, and the family almost did not worship her.
Her mood now is completely different from before she got married, and her appearance is very different.
"I'm here today to steal a teacher from you, and I want to learn how to do business with you." During the conversation, he was very envious of the prosperous business of the Yan family's calligraphy and painting shop.
"Then you have to ask your father-in-law to ask Xiaolu, my master has handed over the shop to him, he is now my master's treasure, and we can't catch up with him!"
"Whew! Look at what you said, yes! Your Xiaolu is not young anymore, why haven't you been engaged yet? ”
Fan Anyang spread his hands helplessly, "I don't know about this, my eldest brother's marriage is the master of my grandfather, and so is mine, I think he will not be an exception!" ”
Mrs. Yang Shizi mentioned that her in-laws had a few sisters-in-law of the right age and asked her if she was interested in seeing them.
"I have to ask my mother, Xiaolu seems to be very casual, but he has an idea in his heart, and I don't dare to make decisions for him."
"Oops! Just to take a look, what are you afraid of? Mrs. Mo Shizi said coquettishly, Fan Anyang smiled and dealt with the past, and soon she got up to say goodbye.
When Mo Xiang stepped forward to wait for Fan Anyang, she couldn't help but shake her head, "She has changed a lot!" ”
"Her identity is different now, so naturally she has to change, but she will come this time, probably forced by her mother-in-law's family, right?" Fan Anyang tilted his head and thought for a while, "I remember that her mother-in-law only gave birth to two sisters-in-law, and the sister-in-law she said was not from their room, right?" ”
Fan Anyue is a son-in-law, the Mo family shouldn't use a concubine to match him, right?
"Uncle Nanjing only has a concubine, and they are all married, and the sister-in-law that Mrs. Mo Shizi just said should be the sister-in-law in the next room!"
"I think so, forget it! Anyway, Xiaolu's marriage, my grandfather has his own idea, so let's not have too many things. (To be continued......)
