Although the snow on the side of the road has only melted for a few days, and the weather is still a little cold, walking on the road no longer makes people feel cold in winter.

Although it has not yet reached the time of "blowing the face and not chilling the willow wind", the spring flowers on the roadside have budded, and the willow trees can also see some greenery from a distance, adding a lot of fresh life to the gray and sudden Yanjing City.

The spring of Kangxi's fifty-fourth year came quietly.

The people in the capital have said that they pay the most attention to the solar terms, dress and eat, live and sit and lie down, all have their own regulations, and there is no chaos.

In the first month, it was warm and cold, and everyone changed out of the big wool clothes in the wax moon and changed into small sweater clothes such as silver rats and gray squirrels. To eat this, you have to eat vegetarian dumplings, rice cakes, and radish cakes.

In February, the weather is getting warmer, and the officials and guests and female dependents of various provinces change their small woolen clothes and change into clothes made of "silk" or thin tweed materials. In terms of diet, I also pick and eat fresh and tender.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, which was the time to pay attention to eating spring cakes.

Han Jiang is a native of the south, and he is used to the lightness of Jiangning cuisine, and he is very unaccustomed to the greasy diet in Beijing. Even if she went to Beijing, she also took the cook with her, and she really didn't want to treat her stomach badly.

Now, my uncle's house has burned down, and I live in Caofu with two maids, and the rest of my subordinates are still in the house there. The rear hood was far from the front, so it was not affected by the fire, and the rest of the people lived there temporarily.

Han Jiang's illness has just recovered these days, and Chu Yu has prepared light side dishes, but seeing that she still has no appetite, the whole person has lost weight quickly.

Speaking of age, Han Jiang is two or three years older than Chu Yu.

Although the two have met a few times in the past, they are talking about business and shop, and they have no personal relationship.

Now that he lives here, Han Jiang's family is still uncomfortable at the beginning, and he always feels that the powerful family, even the slaves and subordinates are also arrogant.

After all, in this world, business is regarded as a lowly business, and even farmers who dig and eat in the fields are more respected than their people.

The children of peasant families, who have been in the cold for ten years, study the books of sages, and still have the opportunity to get ahead; Merchants, but they are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination at all.

Although there is no shortage of money in hand, it cannot erase the contempt in the eyes of others.

When she was in Jiangning City, she was still young and saw few outsiders. Although she also suffered a lot of idleness because of the dispute between the Han family and the Jiang family, it was different from being in the capital.

In the year in the capital, the Han Jiang clan has grown a lot of knowledge, and the surname that was originally a little arrogant and exposed has gradually converged, and the whole person has softened a lot.

If there is any difference between the capital and the south, except that there is a lot of soil and sand in spring and autumn, and people shiver in winter, what makes Han Jiang clan uncomfortable the most is the increasingly serious cold.

lived in Cao's house for a few days, but Han Jiang's family was sincerely envious of Chu Yu.

Every day, I watched her get up early, go to greet the elders, and then return here to eat, either to deal with housework, or to coax her daughter, do needlework, and gossip with Han Jiang.

Today, after she went to ask her parents-in-law to say goodbye, she returned to Wutong Garden. Seeing that Han Jiang's family was staying in the East House and not coming out to live, she invited him to the West House to speak.

Tianhui is eight months old, which is the age to climb.

Because he can't see with his eyes, although the little guy is not honest with his hands and feet, he can't be naughty.

Most of the time, she stays there with her hands and feet on the ground, her little head tilted, and her mouth babbling, as if she doesn't dare to move the place.

Han Jiang sat on the chair on the ground, looked at Tianhui who was like a ball of flour on the kang, and secretly glanced at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu sat on the edge of the kang, looking at her daughter, with only joy on her face, and happily coaxed: "Baby, come here, there is something fun here." As she spoke, she picked up the small rattle she had at hand and shook it from side to side.

Earlier, Cao Yan and Chu Yu called their daughters "Tianhui" when they called them, and there were also times when they were called "Huihui" and "Hui'er".

When Jinghui and Ruhui entered the door, it was a little inconvenient to speak.

Therefore, the husband and wife changed their words and called them "baby".

The rattle of "dong dong dong" sounded, and Tianhui's little face on her back also smiled, and she followed the drum and crawled to Chu Yu's side tentatively.

Although she climbs slowly and is not as lively as other children, Chu Yu's heart is only happy.

When her daughter climbed to her side, she reached out and hugged her daughter in her arms, kissed her, and said, "It's amazing, my good girl, she is crawling faster today than two days ago." ”

Tianhui was tickled, stretched out her little hand, grabbed Chu Yu's clothes and smiled.

Seeing that their mother and daughter were so close, Han Jiang sighed in his heart, but he couldn't move his eyes when he looked at Tianhui.

Small hands and feet, white and tender, not crying or making trouble, it is really rare. Even Han Jiang, who has never been in contact with children, also likes it in his heart.

Chu Yu finished coaxing Tianhui. I'm afraid that I will snub the guests.

She turned around and said with a little guilt: "Look at me, please come over and talk, but you are not empty." At the end of this day, I don't know what I'm busy with, and I won't be idle. ”

Before Han Jiang could speak, he heard the movement of the outhouse.

Han Jiang was shocked, and saw the curtain at the door slightly raised, and two little boys came in, it was Tianyou and Hengsheng's little brothers.

Han Jiang went to Orchid Garden with Chu Yu yesterday and saw these two little boys. I know that one of them who doesn't like to talk is the adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. Cao Yan; One who likes to laugh is Cao Li's sister-in-law.

The little brother entered the room, paused in front of Han Jiang's body, and glanced at his mother, all with a little confusion on his face.

Chu Yu saw it and said with a smile: "What are you still doing, call someone quickly?" This is Aunt Han, didn't you see you again yesterday?

Tianyou and Hengsheng gave Han Jiang a gift, although the two brothers were only three or four years old, but their identities were different, and Han Jiang was not easy to bear, so they got up and avoided it.

After taking the salute, Tianyou and Hengsheng shook off their calves and ran to Chu Yu's side to see their sister.

Tianhui was in Chu Yu's arms, not knowing that she had already called her brothers to watch, stretched out her arms, and grabbed them in the air.

Seeing this, Tianyou stretched out a finger and put it in the palm of his sister's hand.

Tianhui clenched her small fists, as if she had the strength to feed, and pulled her brother's fingers.

Hengsheng was originally lying on the edge of the kang, and he couldn't see Tianhui in Chu Yu's arms, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious. Tianyou saw it on the sidelines, and tried to pull Hengsheng with his empty hand.

The little brothers look very close. If it weren't for the fact that the Han Jiang clan had heard about the Cao family, they would have thought they were brothers.

Chu Yu hugged her daughter for a while, and her arms were a little sore. Seeing that Tianhui's strength was getting smaller and smaller, and she wanted to yawn, she got up and put her daughter back in the rocking car.

Han Jiang looked at Chu Yu's back and felt a little empty in his heart.

It seems that everyone else is living a hopeful life, but he thinks about abacus and account books all the time, could it be that he is going to become a miser...... At this time, there was another person coaxing the child in the house, that is, lying on the kang, resting the child on the belly, asking this and that.

That is the king of Pingjun, Nersu, he left the house after breakfast, and after ordering a meal at the yamen, he came back first.

Seeing her husband's lazy appearance, Cao Jiashi asked with a smile: "Which one is this annoyed, I look at my lord's interest in the morning." Didn't you say that you want to move your muscles and bones, and you want to take a few children to wander around the city? ”

Hearing this, Nersu smiled wryly and waved his hand, and said, "What are you still wandering around, now those idle princes, General Belle Guogong, are preparing to jointly impeach the eighth elder brother." When you see a person, you are going to be born. I don't have the patience to get involved in this, it's really boring. ”

Cao Jia's family has heard her husband mention the matter of the eighth elder brother.

It's just that the relationship between the two governments is ordinary, and Cao Jia's is just watching a play, and he can't really have sympathy.

The husband usually said that he was not good friends with the eighth elder brother, why did he sigh loudly, which is incomprehensible? Thinking of this, he looked at her husband with some concern.

Seeing that his wife was worried, Nersu rubbed his forehead and said, "It's okay, don't panic, don't worry." I only got the news in the morning, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

Cao Jiashi saw her husband say this, and said, "Look at the prince's worry, is it bad news?" ”

Narsu sighed and said, "Although it is not related to us, it is indeed not good news. I heard that Shuntianfu got a secret report, and went to Shichahai in the middle of the night last night to arrest people, it seems that there are more than 20 people, all of them are young and strong, long live this morning, these people are all in Taiwan. ”

This can bother the officials of the Shuntian Mansion to come forward, and it is specified that it will not be a small case, these people are gathered in the inner city, so why did they come?

Nersu only felt that his brain hurt when he wanted to, and then he couldn't help laughing, and said to his wife: "You said that I was worried for a long time, isn't this a fool's heart?" As he spoke, he picked up his daughter on the kang, raised it in the air, and kissed it vigorously.

The husband and wife diverged from each other and talked about today's dinner.

Today, on the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, which is also a small section, and the palace has prepared a spring plate.

The palace is called Chunpan, in fact, it is the spring cake of the people outside, but it is more delicate, and the meat and vegetable dishes prepared are more...... * Zhangjiakou, post station.

From the pasture to Zhangjiakou, the fast horse is a three-day journey, because the return trip is a few days, the weather is fine, so Cao Yan arrived last night to catch up with the road for three days, everyone is tired, and the return trip does not need to be so rushed, so Cao Yan rested in Zhangjiakou for a day.

When he arrived at the post station, Cao Yan was not in the mood to rest, and immediately sent Xiaoman to find Cui Fei, the foreign manager of Prince Jian's mansion.

Cui Fei was flattered when he heard that Cao Fei personally asked someone to call him over.

When he came out of Cao's house, he was confused, as if he couldn't finalize some idea.

There was only one Cao Yan left in the room, and he sat on the chair, blaming himself a little for being "unkind"

Although it is a profitable business, it can be regarded as a meal from the bowl of the Mongolian prince, and the offended person must go to the sea.

Cao Yan has always had a bad heart, but he has no bad courage. He sympathized with the suffering of the herdsmen of Chahar, but he did not have the idea of sacrificing himself.

Prince Jian has an iron hat on his head, and the turtle shell is general, which is naturally not comparable to Cao Yan's weight.

Looking at Cui Fei's appearance, he didn't look like a cool one, and he was afraid that he didn't dare to make up his mind, so he wanted to go back to Beijing and ask his master.

Cao Yan was thinking. I heard Xiao Man say outside: "Uncle, the meal is ready." ”

In addition to Xiao Man, there is also Wei Hei carrying a huge cooked pig's head, which seems to have just come back from outside.

He raised the pig's head and said with a smile: "Childe, today is the second day of February, everything else can be improvised, why do you want to eat two bites of this pig's head meat." As he spoke, he handed the pig's head to Xiao Man and asked him to take it and cut it cold.

"It's the second year of junior high school, this is a good time, if Brother Wei doesn't mention it, I'm afraid I won't remember it." Cao Yan replied.

Cao Yan estimated in his heart that most of the months had passed since he left Beijing last month.

The Taifu Temple Ranch is farther away than the Eight Banners Ranch, and Cao Yan has already returned from the Taifu Temple Ranch, why haven't the people from the military department come back yet?

Others don't know that Taifu Temple is similar to Eight Banners Ranch, and they are all industry insiders.

Speaking of Eight Flags Ranch, the trickiest thing now is to hand over more than half of the folds, right?

*Beijing, Changchun Garden, Qingxi Book House.

In addition to Kangxi, there are also several scholars who stand with Shangshu, and they are silent.

Yesterday, the Governor of Caoyun. The news of Lang Tingji's death spread to the capital, and now these courtiers are summoned over, and Kangxi is for this general candidate.

Kangxi sat on the kang with the information of the officials at hand. He just wanted the ministers to recommend, but when he thought of the word "recommendation", he felt uncomfortable, so he lowered his head and continued to look at the file in his hand......
