Xiyang County Mansion, Yuwen Wen and his wife and concubine gathered together to celebrate the eldest son Brother Que's one year old, today at noon, he just rushed back to Xiyang from Anlu and did not enter the city, so he went to the pig farm to guide the work, and then by the way to participate in the big competition in the barracks, personally distributed the rewards and tossed until the evening before getting out of the barracks and rushing back to the house.

Because there was a notice in advance when he would come back, after he finished bathing and changing, dinner was just ready, and the family happily gathered together to watch today's protagonist Xiao Que appear on the stage.

Brother Magpie began to learn to walk, and he could already 'snake maneuver' without help, looking at his son's staggering appearance, Yu Wenwen smiled so much that his mouth couldn't close, and he lifted the little guy around a few times before stopping.

According to the custom, when the baby reaches the age of one, he has to carry out the 'try', which is commonly known as the grasping week, Yuwenwen puts the eldest son who has been bathed and dressed in new clothes and sits on the ground in the hall, with bows, arrows, paper and pens in front of him, as well as many various pastries and jewelry, in order to see which one the baby chooses.

Babies of this age naturally don't understand anything, so what to take is completely based on 'instinct', so it is said that by looking at what they take, they can know what they are good at or like in the future, Brother Que looked at the dazzling things in front of him and 'tangled' for a moment and crawled to the bow and arrow and grabbed it.

Of course, this bow and arrow is not used in the normal military, but a toy-level bamboo bow and arrow, seeing the eldest son babbling with a bow and arrow, Yu Wenwen's eyes narrowed with a smile: Martial arts are good, just chanting poetry and writing calligraphy in this era is not able to make contributions!

Mrs. Wei Chi Chifan sat on the side with her eldest son Thorn Lang and looked at Mimi with a smile, Thorn Lang is now almost nine months old, and in a few months, it will be time to start learning to walk, and her responsibilities are getting heavier and heavier.

As a main room. All the children born in the side chamber are to recognize her as their mother and be raised by her. Even if the children born in the side room call their biological mother, they can only be called "aunt", which is similar to the "aunt" in later generations.

So as Brother Quezi grows up, she has to be responsible for raising her. Wei Chi Chifan, who had been tossed by the thorn and lacked sleep, now has to bear it again, although the two little ones are taken care of by the nurse, but she doesn't dare to be a little sloppy.

It's okay to say that if Brother Que hurts somewhere, then others will poke her back and scold and abuse her son.

As a person with a 'special background', Yu Wenwen thought about practicing 'fair' treatment at home, but finally gave up, and the strict etiquette of this era is not something he can resist alone.

Take sitting as an example, sitting in this era and sitting after the Song Dynasty are two different things, although the Hu bed has been popularized, but sitting on the Hu bed on formal occasions to let the legs hang down is a sign of rudeness (except for the military), even sitting like this, then it is natural to raise all the children of the husband in the main room, who will have a big problem if he 'messes up'.

Because if the main room can't raise the children in the side room, then it means that she is extremely disgusted with her husband, and she is not far from being divorced.

Yu Wenwen naturally will not divorce his wife, nor will he snub his wife. Brother Que is one year old and wants to leave Yang Lihua's side, although it is a little unkind, but it still has to be so, otherwise all kinds of thoughts of the servants in the house will be flooded.

He/they will think that the housemother has fallen out of favor, so it is foreseeable to befriend Yang Lihua or disobey the housemother, and Wei Chi's prestige will plummet, and it is very likely that he will be angry with Yang Lihua under all kinds of grievances, and all kinds of intrigues on weekdays will be inevitable, if this is the case, Yu Wenwen's backyard will not be upset, this is a situation that he tries his best to avoid.

Yuwen Wen can't reverse the traditional inertia with one person, so he can only follow the local customs, just like he is not used to 'sitting', he has to 'sit', and his stepdaughter Yuwen Eying can continue to call Yang Lihua to be 'A-Niang' is already the best he can do.

"It was supposed to be celebrated yesterday, but my husband was still on business in Anlu and couldn't get out for a while, so I will be punished with three glasses of wine for my husband today!" Yuwen was cheeky and punished himself with three glasses of wine, he couldn't come back in time to 'brush his face' in Anlu in order to ask for more 'loot', and his face became thicker and thicker.

Yang Lihua took her son and teased her with a happy smile on her face, as a person who came over, she also knew that it was helpless for her concubine to be raised by the main room: when she was in the palace, the crown prince Yu Wenyun was taught by her on weekdays, and her biological mother Zhu Manyue couldn't interfere too much.

However, thinking of Yu Wenyun, who had 'died', she couldn't help but feel sad: he was just a nine-year-old child, father. Why are you so ruthless?

The abdicated little emperor Yu Wenyun has 'died of illness', but for people with a little brain, they know that there is something strange about this 'death of illness', Yang Lihua can naturally guess what is going on, but she is still sad for the cruelty of the palace struggle.

Xiao Jiuniang, who was sitting opposite, caught a glimpse of Yang Lihua's dejected appearance and hurriedly lowered her head. She is now pregnant, and she will be a mother next year, and the flesh and blood she gave birth to in October will also be recognized as a mother, and she will call herself an 'aunt'.

Wei Chi Chi fanned his son and didn't notice the abnormality of the two 'sisters', but Yu Wenwen immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and quickly coughed a few times, and then asked the maid to serve the food, he could understand the mood of the mother and son's 'separation', but he could only slowly alleviate it, and there was no other way.

It's not good! You have to be careful in the future, otherwise you won't be able to hold it!

The dishes served are much richer than before, since Yuwen Wen tried his best to get the artifact of the cast iron pot out, the recipes in the house have been officially updated after several twists and turns, and the most popular ones are naturally sauce elbow and Dongpo meat.

The cooking technology of this year is not 'fried', but mainly cooked, boiled, and baked, and the kitchen lady in the house thought that this thing was used to cook soup when she first saw the iron pot, and then Yuwenwen took the time to toss a few times to let the other party understand what 'stir-frying' is.

Stir-fry with oil, this era is still mainly meat oil, to the Song Dynasty after the vegetable oil (vegetable oil) will be fully promoted, from the perspective of future generations, with lard to fry vegetables has a fishy smell, not everyone can accept, but now this 'stir-fry' is still a new thing, where anyone will care about this.

But Wei Chi Chifan and Yang Lihua, the two women who were born in brocade clothes and jade food, really didn't like the fishy smell of lard, and Xiao Jiuniang was used to eating coarse tea and light rice, and she was not used to it for a while.

The eating appearance of the sauce elbow is too 'big open and closed', which is not suitable for the three beauties, and Yu Wenwen doesn't want them to gnaw on the elbow like a big man with his feet, which is not ladylike, so he adopted a compromise method: let the finished sauce elbow be cut into slices and then let them enjoy it.

Dongpo meat is much better, as long as the meat is cut smaller, with this treatment, the two new dishes make the three beauties finally able to dine 'elegantly'. Yu Wenwen doesn't have to worry about being too ugly to make himself stunned.

Yuwen Eying didn't have so many scruples, she saw 'Aya' gnawing her elbows happily, and naturally she was drawing a scoop with a gourd. At today's banquet, the two of them are holding sauce elbows and nibbling, while the other three are chewing slowly with chopsticks holding slices of meat.

Talk about homely things while eating. Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang also recovered from different thoughts, and the housekeeper Li Sanjiu came to report that the master Bo Zhengtong had something to see when the family was talking and laughing.

Yu Wenwen went out for a while, then turned back, and after eating dinner quietly, just as he was leaving, he first explained a few words to Yu Chi Chifan and Yang Lihua, and then stopped Xiao Jiuniang and asked her to go with him.

Xiao Jiuniang followed Yu Wenwen and walked in the corridor, a little uneasy, she was worried that the gaffe at the banquet just now would make her husband suspicious, and when she was about to explain, she was held by the other party and said softly: "Don't think so much, things won't get worse." ”

She was stunned for a moment, then nodded, didn't say anything, just let Yuwenwen pull her to the outer courtyard, and was puzzled, but she heard her husband say to take her to see someone.

'See a man? Xiao Jiuniang wondered in her heart, she didn't have any acquaintances in Bazhou, except for her parents and a few brothers and sisters who were far away in Liangguo, where did she have relatives, and there was no need for the people in the house to be like this.

'Why! Her heart pounded suddenly, because she remembered a possibility, but she didn't dare to think deeply. After coming to the study with mixed feelings, Yu Wenwen asked her to sit behind the screen, and after a while, Zhang Yu led someone in.

"This official Bazhou assassin Shi Yuwen Wenwen, who are you?"

"Under Zhang Ke." The man replied, and Xiao Jiuniang behind the screen covered her mouth violently when she heard the voice and the content of her speech.

"Zhang Ke, this official heard that Zheng Zhubo said that you are the younger brother of Empress Zhang of Liang State, why are you in Wuchang?"

"Yuwen envoy, last year the Chen army entered the Kouliang Kingdom to attack Jiangling, that day and his niece were outside the city, but they had no choice but to hide everywhere, helpless in the Loquat Temple" The man came to the truth one by one, and it was on the side of the Santai River embankment to meet Zhang Ke, who was not driving Xu Shao's complaint.

The Zhou army ambushed the Chen army at the loquat forest. He was mistaken for a comrade by the defeated Chen army, so he took him all the way to Jiangnan, and after being found out that he was a Liang national, he became a slave and worked in Wuchang, and was taken to Xiyang after the Zhou army attacked Wuchang.

Yu Wenwen looked at Zhang Ke, who had been identified by Zheng Tong and confirmed as the brother of Empress Zhang of the Genuine Liang Kingdom, and made a decision after pondering for a moment. He got up and pulled the screen open and invited Xiao Jiuniang out.

Zhang Ke was a little strange when he saw Yuwen Wen get up, but when he saw the woman who walked out behind the screen, he was stunned at first, and then stunned: "Jiujiu Niang?!! ”

"Uncle!" Xiao Jiuniang cried and ran forward to hug Zhang Ke, and then the two hugged and cried, Yuwen Wen couldn't help but jump out of the corner of his eyes when he saw that his woman was so close to other men.

"Forget it, who called someone her uncle, an uncle like her biological father" Yu Wenwen sighed helplessly and sat aside.

Xiao Jiuniang was born in February, and was considered ominous by his father, Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang, and then sent out of the palace to his imperial brother Xiao Qi and his wife to raise, but did not expect that Xiao Qi and his wife died one after another in less than a year, confirming Xiao Jiuniang's ominous rumors, so it was transferred to Zhang Ke, the brother of Empress Zhang, to raise.

Zhang Ke and his wife pulled this poor little princess to grow up like their own daughter, after the death of his wife, Zhang Ke and Xiao Jiuniang depended on each other, although he lived for the country's relatives, but he was very poor, and Xiao Jiuniang had to help with housework on weekdays.

If it is according to the normal historical trajectory, this princess of Liang who grew up in the folk will be selected this year as the princess of Yang Guang, the second son of Emperor Sui, to marry Chang'an, and more than 20 years later, she will become the famous Empress Xiao in the annals of history, and has experienced the prosperity and withering of Yang Sui and the prosperity of Li Tang.

However, all this changed with Yu Wenwen's 'mutation'.

When the Chen army invaded the Liang State and attacked Jiangling, Zhang Ke and Xiao Jiuniang outside the city could not return to the city, and later hid in the loquat temple, when the Chen army rushed into the loquat temple, Zhang Ke protected the beautiful Xiao Jiuniang and rushed out, and finally separated, Xiao Jiuniang met Yuwen Wen, and Zhang Ke was exiled to Chen Guoying, Wuchang, Yingzhou, Jiangnan, after several twists and turns, and finally met Xiao Jiuniang here.

'Happy to meet, I have a cheap uncle. Yuwen Wen thought so, then coughed dryly and tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said: "Uncle, Jiu Niang is pregnant now, so she can't be too sad and happy" (to be continued.) )
