Xiaobei came from Huizhou, in addition to the shocking news that Wang Fulin may be about to be promoted to a grandfather, there is also good news about Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei. Although it was also mentioned in the family letter before, how can there be the vividness of Xiaobei's painting and color? Wang Erniang, who married into the Wu family in Xixi South, gave birth to a girl in her first child, but because of her mother's ability, the Wu family in Xixi South and the Wang family in Songmingshan have been married for several generations. And Wang Xiaomei paid for her father-in-law's treatment with private money, and after receiving Wang Fulin's subsidy, she was also pregnant at the end of the year, and now she is being offered as a baby by her mother-in-law.

Xiaomei also said that after her father-in-law recovered from his illness, he complained to her mother-in-law fiercely, and her mother-in-law's mother-in-law also sent a group of relatives and friends, and almost didn't make her mother-in-law faint, and even Mrs. Fang wrote a letter. Before the housekeeper took over to her, although the mother-in-law said that she wanted to find a stumbling block, but she always cleaned it up when she came and went, and now she is pregnant, and her mother-in-law is about to take over the housekeeper, but her father-in-law spoke, she and her aunt moved to the other courtyard under the south mountain of Yanzhen to have a baby, just to have a care with her uncle. ”

"The eldest brother-in-law also donated a prisoner in Nanjing Guozijian, and now he is a classmate with Qiu Feng, and the mother-in-law at home nodded, and the eldest sister went to Nanjing to take care of it. Although the eldest brother-in-law rarely comes back for a day or two a month, and the couple get together less and leave more, I heard that life is very good, and there are many people in Huizhou over Nanjing, and there are always people who take care of them. ”

has always stayed in a place like the capital, but now after a long absence, after a long absence, Wang Fulin does not feel bored, but feels that he is much more relaxed. Xiaobei is the same, in the past, she hated these trivial things the most, but now she couldn't help but talk about them one by one, until she finally closed her eyes in a daze, she seemed to faintly hear Wang Fulin's murmur coming from the pillow.

"It's good that their lives can live peacefully......"

As an official of the imperial court, as long as it is not a day off, it is light to get up when you smell the chicken, and when you encounter the early dynasty, you have to get up before dawn. Wang Fulin's biological clock is now extremely accurate, and when he opened his eyes, it was still dark outside. In this kind of weather that has not fully warmed up, the sun naturally rises very late, so after taking a look at Xiaobei, who was sleeping on the side of the bed and his eyes were in full swing, he stepped lightly into bed and dressed, trying not to alarm her. However, when he pulled his shoes and walked to the door leading to the outer room, he only heard a somewhat confused voice behind him.

"Who? Who walks around the house on the big night? Is Ah Mao crying again? ”

Wang Fulin looked back and saw Xiaobei half-sitting up, sleepy-eyed, looking like he was about to wake up, so he simply walked back, sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "What, you thought it was in Huizhou?" ”

"Huh?" Xiaobei sobered up a little now, and realized that it was not in Huizhou now, nor on the road, she suddenly relaxed, but when Wang Fulin was about to press her to continue lying down, she yawned and said, "Follow the customs, you are up, I should also ......get up."

"How many days has it been? I'm going to the court today, and it's my turn to be the emperor again, so I have to get up so early, why are you up? There are not so many things to take care of at home, so I have only walked on the road for so many days, so I just need to sleep well for two days and then talk about other things. Be obedient and continue to sleep. ”

Xiaobei naturally knew that the words in front of her were very reasonable, but after hearing the last five words, she couldn't help glaring at Wang Fulin angrily. But after lying back, I watched him get up and go out, and heard someone call someone outside to come in to serve and wash, and at breakfast, she gradually fell asleep again in that series of sounds, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already daylight. Cuizhu, the most confidant girl around her, stayed in Guangdong to marry Yu Wen, and Fangrong and Fangshu, who were originally with her, were not as accustomed to riding horses as she was since she was a child, so she could only take a carriage to go north slowly, so even if Yan's mother was old, she could only take her disguise to Beijing.

Last night, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and in the middle of the night, the third watch called someone to clean up her things, she naturally remembered, even if she was an old husband and wife for a long time, not a little girl with a tender face, but now when she changed clothes, her waist and knees were sore, but she could still feel the smile on Yan's mother's face, and she was naturally very embarrassed. It wasn't until she was fully dressed, still a little sleepy, that she asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Young lady, it's the beginning of the year (nine o'clock)." Today's Yan's mother has already unconsciously changed her name, and after talking about the hour, she added, "It's still early." ”

At the beginning of the year!

Thinking that even if he was in Huizhou, he had never slept so late, and Xiao Bei gasped. However, when she came back to her senses, she thought that there were not so many affairs inside and outside the house now, and her son Ah Mao was not there, although she was still a little embarrassed, but the whole person relaxed. When she got out of the back room and had breakfast, she thought that she was only half an hour earlier than Wang Fulin yesterday, and she was busy placing the suitcase cage, so she didn't have time to ask anything else, so she hurriedly asked, "Who was in charge of this house before?" ”

"The family's expenditure account books are all managed by Chen Xianggong, but Chen Xianggong often goes to Xu's house to ask Xu Gongzi for guidance on schoolwork, and most of the things that are written and calculated are managed by Wang Siming of the outer courtyard."

Because Yan's mother stayed in Huizhou to serve Xiaobei to give birth, and with Wang Fulin entering Beijing, it was the old aunt and grandmother in Songyuan who recommended Mother Wu, at this time she stood in front of Xiaobei and reported respectfully: "As for the distribution of work in the inner courtyard, I am in charge of it. It's just that later, the family became bigger, and he became neighbors with the Cheng family, and the son asked Cheng Grandma as a joke, but he was blocked back by Cheng Dagongzi, saying that even if the two families opened the door and walked around as a family, there was no Cheng family to take care of the affairs of the Wang family, and the Wang family didn't have so many details, just clean up. ”

Seeing that Mother Wu had explained everything clearly, Xiaobei nodded and said, "In this case, I will ask Chen Xianggong when I go back." Wang Siming asked him to continue, and just send the account books to me every ten years to check. As for the inner courtyard, Mother Wu, you continue to take care of it, I see that the house is in order, Xiao Gui Cao follows, there is nothing to change. ”

Mother Wu knows that now that Wang Daokun and Wang Fulin's uncle and nephew have fallen out, although Wang Fulin continues to use Wang Ji and Wang Xiang as porters, he has never said anything serious about himself, but after all, he is much more cautious than before. Now that the serious hostess has come back from Huizhou, she is still kind to her, and she has no intention of seizing power, she can't help but feel relieved, and after agreeing with a smile, she curtsy and saluted, and was about to retreat, but only to hear Xiaobei ask again: "Who is serving in the study?" Those letters of worship, or are they managed by Chen Xianggong? ”

"The master has always done it himself in the study, and he doesn't need people to serve him, and the letters are all sorted out and classified by Chen Xianggong."

"Got it, you go down."

Waiting to have a child in Huizhou, and the year after giving birth, Xiaobei only felt that he was living like a pig, if it weren't for his mother-in-law Wu, he finally knew that more activities were conducive to production, and he couldn't wait to provide for her. But as for the stewardship, it really doesn't need to be done at all, at most, when giving gifts during the New Year's holidays, she discusses it with her mother-in-law. So much so that she has nothing to do, and she doesn't know how much she has seen in the notes of various literati and quyi scripts in all dynasties. And after she gave birth, Ah Mao, who was full of energy and crying all day long, was so tormented that the chickens and dogs jumped up and down the house.

According to her mother-in-law, Wu, she has never seen such a difficult child to bring, and she has never taken care of those trivial things.

So even since she was not there, Wang Fulin also arranged it properly, how could she have the slightest intention of seizing power, at this time, she first took a good turn around her new home, and then went to the study to see Chen Bingchang. Seeing that people were still as shy as before, but their youthful spirit had faded a lot, she smiled and asked, "Does your eldest brother often have letters?" Accustomed to staying in the capital? ”

"It's all good." Chen Bingchang nodded, and then said a little embarrassedly, "Even if I eat and use it ready-made, I still have a, and I want Brother Wang to take care of me to study, which is really deserved." ”

"But you've helped him write and sort out a lot of things in the past two years, right?"

Hearing Xiaobei say this, Chen Bingchang couldn't wait to lower his head even more: "But those guests outside can do anything, and they can do anything......

"Since you said that there are capable people outside, if your brother Wang wanted to, he would have recruited people a long time ago, and the family is not too small to accept a few more people? When you were in Guangdong, you still had Xu Xianggong and Du Xianggong as your company. Now he must think that he has enough manpower, and no matter how powerful a person is, he can still bring it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to help him take care of his official duties? In a few words, Chen Bingchang was appeased, and when he returned to the room with the thick stack of prayer posts, Xiaobei suddenly saw Wu's mother walking over quickly.

"Young lady, Grandma Cheng is here!"

"Huh?"

Xiaobei didn't care about putting things away, so she hurriedly followed Wu's mother to greet her, and when she received someone, she saw that the close friend she used to have in Huizhou was plump, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was no longer as shy as she used to be, and she didn't dare to speak loudly, and she almost didn't dare to recognize it. Thinking of what she and Xu Wei did to scare Cheng Naixuan by pretending to be a ghost-faced girl, she only felt that it seemed to be a matter of her previous life.

Since Wang Fulin returned to his hometown in the third year of Wanli, and then went to patrol Guangdong, she and Xu Yao have never seen each other again.

"It's just that my sister-in-law doesn't come out much, because my mother's health is not very good, she is very busy, she has to serve the sick all day long, and she has to take care of housework, and she has to take care of me before. The last time I moved to Wenju, she was also guarding me at home. Speaking of this, Xu Yao couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, and then looked at Xiaobei and said, "Are you going to see your sister-in-law today?" If you want to go, I'll go with you. ”

Xiaobei heard that Xu Yao was pregnant again, and couldn't help laughing. The relationship between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law is the most difficult, but Ye Mingyue is smart and smart, Xu Yao is shy and timid, the two sisters-in-law met in the Yixiang Society, and now they are destined to be sisters-in-law, but it is very good. She really hasn't seen her sister for a long time, and at this time she took the initiative to mention it, she glanced at the worship post in Yan's mother's hand on the side, and after a little thought, she said: "Then send a post over first, although it is my sister, your sister-in-law, and Master Xu is Jinbao's teacher, but I can't kill it like this, and there is no preparation at all." If there's time over there, we'll go in the afternoon. ”

Xu Yao naturally has no opinion on this. knew that Xiaobei had just arrived in the capital, and there must be many things, and the pile of worship posts was also very eye-catching, so she sat down for a while and then said goodbye and went home. As soon as she left, Xiaobei took the post from Yan's mother, flipped through the names and surnames of the official positions one by one, and she said: "I have long heard that Xianggong is simply famous in Beijing, and look, there are even four-grade officials who come to visit...... Hey, the name of this Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple is so familiar...... Ah, I remember! ”

Xiaobei jumped up all of a sudden, put all the other prayer posts on the side, and only took the finger in his hand to Yan's mother to see: "Mom, look, Xie Tingjie!" ”

"Ah, isn't it the great master of the year when the son entered the school? Later, Childe also received a lot of care. ”

"yes, it's been eight years!" Xiaobei pinched his fingers as he spoke, and then said thoughtfully, "However, with his official position, he shouldn't send a post over...... And, mother, you see, although his prayer note is not as full of flattery as the others, he also mentions old friends and leaves an address, but he lives in an outer city. ”

"Nowadays, there are few people in the inner city of Jingshi, and the houses are expensive, and when Yuanfu was still the second assistant, he also used to live in the outer city, after all, he can still buy an affordable but spacious mansion there. It's just that it's actually a robbery alley next to the mule and horse market...... That place is really bad, I didn't expect Lord Xie to live there. Yan's mother also felt a little unbelievable, and immediately said, "Why don't you keep your son back?" ”

"He is a busy man, and I heard that he used to live in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and never came back, so I can't guarantee that it will be the same today. And Lord Xie has been patrolling Nanzhili and Zhejiang before, and the official reputation has always been very good, and after patrolling the imperial history, I heard that he was promoted to Nanjing Dali Temple, and I don't know much about when he was transferred to Beijing. Let Chen Bingchang personally send a reply, so respectful, after all, Xianggong is a junior, whether it is age or seniority, he is all juniors. Well, before going to the outer city, let Chen Bingchang go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and talk to the prime minister, which is more thoughtful. ”

Yan's mother naturally didn't have anything to say about this, and Xiaobei went to see Chen Bingchang in person and gave an order. After replying to these posts according to the need, putting them as if there was no such thing, and even those that needed to be disposed of by Wang Fulin personally, she went to sort out the soft that she had brought from Huizhou before, and after getting the reply sent by the Xu family, she learned that her sister Ye Mingyue was really free in the afternoon, and after she hastily had lunch, she went to Cheng's house to meet Xu Yao, and the two went out in the same car. However, when they got out of the car in front of Xu's house and went in, they saw that there were two people beside Ye Mingyue at the second gate.

"Yuanchun, Jianchun!"

Xiaobei couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and ran over quickly with his skirt. Shi Jianchun, who had always been lively, saw her like this, and suddenly forgot that she was a married woman, and she also took two steps forward, and her four hands were tightly clasped together.

I really didn't expect it to be so coincidental that it could all come together! (To be continued.) )
