In the cold rain of November, all the good news came from the front, and the front line had been pushed directly outside the third city. The clean-up personnel of the Fourth City are making good progress, and the letters of safety from the relatives of the Zhong family in the old courtyard have also been delivered. Listening to the fourth lady with tears in her eyes, she could already feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war.

The people of the Fourth City, some of whom returned to dispose of some of their properties for their livelihood, were much cheaper than before, and at this time there were not many people who could afford them. After the relatives in the old yard took over a few houses, they didn't have much silver taels on them, and they didn't write to them to ask for some silver taels to live. The fourth lady sighed and said, "Their vision is good, but my daughters-in-law are so tired that they are busy day and night, and the silver taels that they have saved will be handed over in a blink of an eye." The fifth lady comforted her and said, "At this time, it is better to have two taels of silver to lend out, than to look for someone to borrow two taels of silver, but you can't borrow them." ”

The batch of goods that Wen Chunyi transported to Ancheng was rushed by the women of the two courtyards, and the fabrics were relatively delicate, but each one needed to be done with care. The people of the old courtyard gathered at the Zhong Mansion again. There weren't so many people sitting under the eaves, and those who had to rush to work were all crowded into the makeshift dining room next to the kitchen. The family of the fifth master is accustomed to eating together, and before the weather is cool, Wen Chunyi asked the nurse and man to ask someone to build a shed next to the kitchen to facilitate everyone's meal. Wen Chunyi didn't think about it, it was just right to use it at this time. The fifth lady's work has been completed, and according to her words: "If there is a new pattern, you need to think about it slowly." And now I can't think of it. ”

Zhong Chi gradually grew up with his wife's belly, and the people of Zhong House. Quite took care of her. The Zhong Chiyin brothers were too busy to stay home, and the two of them no longer did patrol work, and turned to the internal affairs of the government. Zhong Chiyin's wife quietly mentioned to Wen Chunyi that if it weren't for such a wartime, the general government would not allow the two brothers to do the same errand. She said that in fact, Zhong Chiyin prefers to do foreign work, so she can contact more people. People like Zhong Chiyin naturally found an opportunity to confess their determination to the magistrate, and incidentally mentioned their understanding and experience of foreign affairs.

Wen Chunyi immediately looked at Yin's sister-in-law and said, "Second Brother Yin has the identity of a showman, does he have the heart to participate in the state capital examination?" Sister-in-law Yin hurriedly shook her head and said, "Your second brother Yin said that you can get a showman." He's done his best...... As for such a big thing as a scientific expedition, I can only entrust my sons to complete it. "Wen Chunyi's brothers are all people who have undergone scientific research. The fifth master's family popularized her understanding of the exams of this era, and it turned out that the brothers around her could be regarded as people who were proficient in their studies. Students in general. After the state exam. If you get the proof of Xiucai, you will not go up to the top of the study.

Zhong Chiyin's wife calculated the students' accounts for Wen Chunyi, and concluded that studying is not something that ordinary families can afford. It's as hard as Mrs. Liu. It's not because I want my sons to study. Wen Chunyi's original thought of getting by was once again broken by reality, and for the sake of her son, she couldn't help but take advantage of her youth to save him some more silver taels for reading. What's more, most women in this era will have several children. The women of the Zhong family in Brown City are considered to have few children, and they generally have three children. Zhong Chiyin's wife obviously wanted to give birth to a third frame, and had already prescribed a health medicine from Dr. Wang for a month.

At the end of November, the Liu brothers prepared all the goods for Wen Chunyi, and Fang Cheng set off with the caravan. Half a month later, the third son came to the Zhong Mansion to discuss with Wen Chunyi about preparing for the New Year's gift. Wen Chunyi invited the fifth lady and the three sisters-in-law to come over to discuss, and the third son wrote down the amount of goods they needed. The third son already has an expert style, and has put forward a lot of opinions on the New Year's gifts for the fifth lady and the three daughters-in-law. After the fifth lady and the three daughters-in-law left satisfied, the third son and Wen Chunyi formally discussed the New Year's gift to Ancheng and the arrangement of the candidate to send the New Year's gift to Wen Chaolei.

The third son mentioned the man of the Wang family to Wen Chunyi, saying that this person was quite steady in his speech and behavior, so it was better for him to send a New Year's gift to Wen Chaolei. Wen Chun thought for a moment and shook his head lightly and said, "It's not appropriate." Everyone in my family knows that you and Fang Cheng are the people who have to be employed by my side, and being sent over by any of you can show my respect for my elders. If someone changes, I'm worried that my third uncle's family will think too much. I'll think about this candidate. Fang Cheng was already on the way, and when he returned, it was already the end of December, and at such a time, the third son had already taken the New Year's gift and the caravan to Ancheng, and counted, none of them had any leisure.

The third son took a look at the four places, and discussed with Wen Chunyi in a low voice: "If the uncle acts steadily, and he is the cousin of the young master, if the young grandmother can invite him to go, I think the third master's family must be quite happy." Wen Chunyi's eyes lit up, and he hesitated a little, and said, "Let me think about it again, if there is really no way, I can only discuss with them." Wen Chunyi's store in Ancheng will open after Fang Cheng arrives, but it is just the arrangement of candidates, Wen Chunyi was moved, she said to her third son: "In the spring of next year, I want Fang Cheng's family to go back to Ancheng, do you have any other thoughts in your heart?" ”

The third son shook his head lightly and said, "Young grandma, we have to work much harder than in previous years this year, but we have earned more than in previous years. When the children grew up, the money they had to send them to school was saved. Brother Fang went to Ancheng, I'd better do it as usual. The connections between the two of us are known to each other, and it is convenient to act. Wen Chunyi looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "Fang Cheng went to Ancheng this time, I have already told my father in a letter, and asked him to arrange for someone to take a look at Fang Cheng's body." Although you are young, I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear such hard work.

When you go back to Anseong to deliver New Year's goods, you will also go to my father to talk, and when the time comes, he will send someone to take you to see the doctor. I don't have any other ideas, just let the doctor take care of your body by the way. The third son looked at Wen Chunyi with a touched expression, and immediately knelt down and made a big salute, and when Wen Chunyi stopped him, he quickly got up and said: "Young grandma, the third son's family can be with a master like you and the young master, which is a great blessing." Young grandma rest assured, I will do it myself. My third son is not the kind of person who doesn't know good, and the third son only recognizes the young master and the young grandmother and Brother Chen as the master all his life. ”

Before Fang Cheng left, he knew that Wen Chunyi had such an arrangement, and he also gave her a big gift, but the masters he recognized in his words were Wen Chunyi and Brother Chen. And the third son has always remembered that he is a member of the Zhong family, and they all remember where each other came from. This may be the reason why when a woman gets married, her family will properly arrange the use of the bride candidate. (To be continued......)
