Chapter 244: Everyone's Life Is Getting Better
Things in the East Palace are messy, and the prince has no intention of taking care of it, but Xiao Zhi has made some progress here.
Since Guan Shanming arrived at the Ministry of Officials, he has also been conscientious, Xiao Zhi's daily work has also become busy, and the time at home all day is getting less and less, but Xi Hongdou is also used to it, if he doesn't take care of the children, he goes to various shops to take a look.
Lu Zhi and Gao Yue have moved out of the shop, bought a house to live in, and with the help of their father-in-law and mother-in-law, they bought a spacious courtyard nearby, and the second elder of the Gao family also handed over all the money to his daughter and son-in-law, and they did not prevent thieves from their daughters and sons-in-law because of the lack of conscience of the two sons, which was a happy ending.
Sister-in-law Liu thought about it and said, "Why don't we buy a house for the two of us, now that the child is still young, we will have to move in the future." Although her salary is a lot, after all, the time to work hard in Kyoto City is still small, but Zhao Fengqi is different, Zhao Fengqi also has a corresponding commission for each sale, the teahouse is a shop, Zhao Fengqi has not lived there for a long time, and the yard here is also built back, and the family of three is also a little crowded.
Xi Hongdou said: "You all have to move away, isn't that shop too lonely!?" "Hu Ping's family is also moving out to live in total, Xiaofeng has also grown up slowly, and now she is crammed into a room with her grandmother, and she will have to marry in the future, they always live like this, and they are afraid that their in-laws will not look down on them in the future.
Sister-in-law Liu said: "It's not that I don't come, I still have to work here during the day!" "And the cheapest place in Kyoto City is in the south of the city, and the shop is also in the south of the city, so it is not far away to move away.
Xi Hongdou nodded, but he sighed in his heart, the days are changing little by little, and in a blink of an eye, everyone has children, and suddenly feels that the years in the middle seem to be compressed. But where is this, the child grows up in the blink of an eye, and he will have to be more emotional when the time comes.
Soon, Guan Shanming recommended Xiao Zhi to enter the Imperial History Terrace, and the emperor pushed the boat down the river and directly let Xiao Zhi go from the Ministry to the Imperial History Terrace.
In recent years, Yushitai has lacked talents, mainly those who do their official positions, and most of them are ...... Nothing good to do. It's not accidental drowning, or inexplicable violent death, in the past few years, there are no less than four imperial histories who have gone to the west for some reason, and Cheng Yao Sheng's hair and beard in the imperial history are about to turn white, and the imperial history has not been able to straighten up his waist for several years.
Xiao Zhi's arrival is nothing more than the happiest thing for Yao Sheng, one is that Xiao Zhi has the emperor as a backer, and the other is that Xiao Zhi is indeed a famous tiger general, and he has never said it, and now that Xiao Zhi is here, it is time for this Yushitai to regain its prestige.
However, Xiao Zhi is still a newcomer after all, and it is impossible for him to show his strength as soon as he comes to Yushitai, there must be a process of adaptation, big cases can't be handled, and small cases still need to be practiced.
The dispatch order came down soon, and Xiao Zhi was going to leave Kyoto City for a while, Xi Hongdou still didn't feel at ease and wanted to go with him, but Mrs. Xiao stopped someone this time.
"Don't go, there are still two children to take care of." Mrs. Xiao said, although her grandmother can stare at it, but after all, she is old, and she may not be thoughtful about things, Xi Hongdou usually says that she doesn't care, but the nurse is also properly arranged, if she leaves Kyoto City, she is afraid that she will not have enough energy alone.
Xiao Zhi also said: "My mother is right, I lost some things this time, and I am afraid of being exposed if I take you there." ”
"Don't miss me, aren't Lin Da and his brothers going to follow you?" Xi Hongdou asked, four more are not afraid of being eye-catching, and there are not many more of her, right?
Xiao Zhi smiled: "We have to act separately, you just take care of it at home, and it won't be too long to go out this time." "After all, it's just an secret investigation, and it won't take ten days and a half to come back.
Xi Hongdou was a little reluctant, since they got married, the two have not been separated much, and in the end they can only stay obediently.
When Xiao Zhi left, Xi Hongdou brought a lot of clothes, and this time when he went north, the weather changed when he said it, and Xiao Zhi couldn't be frozen.
When Xiao Zhi was sent away, Xi Hongdou was a little distracted, and when Mrs. Xiao saw it, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon, but I really see that you guys are like glue!" "The two have been married for many years, and they still have such a good relationship, how many others have to envy them?!
Xi Hongdou sighed and said, "Worry, he went out alone, this person is fine, but I am still not at ease with my ability to take care of myself." "It's the four brothers Lin who followed, and if a few big men get together, they may be rough and rough.
Xiao Zhi has only been gone for a few days, Xi Hongdou lost his appetite, and then vomited directly, Mrs. Xiao was scared enough, as for the longing? Later, Fang Langzhong came to know that Xi Hongdou was pregnant again.
Mrs. Xiao smiled so much that her white teeth couldn't cover it, she was really looking forward to something, Xi Hongdou was also blessed, and after entering the Xiao family, this stomach was also really angry.
"I said earlier that I was looking forward to a granddaughter, so you can come whatever you say." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.
Xi Hongdou smiled, only then did he know that he was pregnant, and it was not necessarily a man or a woman.
"Whether it's a man or a woman has to be born to know." Xi Hongdou said, it was originally a boy, but now it is a girl, she always feels a little pressured to have a child.
Mrs. Xiao said: "It's nothing, it's better to have a son, and it's not a loss to have a daughter!" "Anyway, the more sons of the Xiao family, the better, although she likes her granddaughter, but it is not bad to have grandchildren.
Xi Hongdou said: "Anyway, Xianggong will come back in ten days and a half months, and I am not in a hurry to send a letter." "I just hope that when Xiao Zhi comes back, he will be surprised.
Xi Hongdou still had to do what she should do, and she didn't delay going to the shop, Mrs. Xiao thought that it was the second pregnancy, and she was not as squeamish as the first child, so she didn't stop it.
Hu Ping and Sister-in-law Liu are also inquiring about the house, and the two families are not particularly anxious, so they want to find it slowly, and then move when they find a suitable house.
On this day, Xi Hongdou was talking to Lu Zhi about the account book, and someone came outside the door, Hu Ping stepped forward to greet the guests, and the man said: "Brother, this shop is opened by Xi Hongdou, right?" Let's look for her! ”
Xi Hongdou happened to be there, and when he heard this, he poked his head out to take a look, and then saw his fellow countryman.
"You two are here!" Xi Hongdou said with a smile directly, it was not someone else who came, but Zhao Tiezhu and Sun Hongxiu.
When Sun Hongxiu was a widow, she married Zhao Tiezhu, and after the two got married, they had a good life, and they didn't leave their family when they collected grain, but now they didn't expect them to come to Kyoto City!
As soon as Sun Hongxiu saw that it was Xi Hongdou, she hurriedly stepped forward, took Xi Hongdou's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, you are really more and more blessed with red beans!" ”
Zhao Tiezhu smiled a little embarrassed when he saw Xi Hongdou, now Xi Hongdou is an official wife and has his own big industry, and these poor villagers may not be able to take care of it, Sun Hongxiu is so enthusiastic that he doesn't treat himself as an outsider.
Xi Hongdou also smiled and said, "Come and sit and say, have you eaten?" Eat it in one piece! ”
Zhao Tiezhu wanted to say that he had eaten, but Sun Hongxiu said: "I really haven't eaten it, we just inquired about your shop as soon as we arrived in Kyoto City, and we didn't even have the time to drink saliva!" ”
Xi Hongdou said: "Then come with me, let's talk while eating!" Then he led the two to the barbecue shop opposite.
Zhao Tiezhu said Sun Hongxiu at this time: "You haven't eaten for eight lifetimes, it's a joke!" ”
"It's all from the same village, what's it for? Why don't people know about red beans?! Sun Hongxiu whispered back.
Xi Hongdou entered the barbecue shop and said to Sister-in-law Liu: "Sister-in-law, serve wine and meat, my fellow countryman is here!" ”
Sister-in-law Liu responded, and then ordered a menu by herself and sent it to the guy in front.
Gao Yue is also from Xijia Village, and when she saw the Zhao family, she naturally wanted to talk.
"Sister Xiaoyue is here to help? What is this ......? Sun Hongxiu asked.
Gao Yue said: "This shop is all Sister Hongdou's!" ”
Zhao Tiezhu looked around, although the shop is not big, but this business can be said to be very hot, and making money is certain.
"Oh, it's really amazing, I used to hear that the red bean girl was very good at doing business in the village, but now I've seen it with my own eyes, it's really even more powerful!" Sun Hongxiu said.
Xi Hongdou smiled and said, "Just make hard money." "You have to be humble when it's time to be humble.
Zhao Tiezhu looked at Sun Hongxiu, Sun Hongxiu understood, and said: "The red bean girl is smart and capable, we are ......"
Xi Hongdou could see that there must be something wrong with the two of them coming from afar, so he asked: "Brother Zhao and Sister-in-law Zhao just have something to say, they are both from the same village, where do they still use roundabouts?" ”
Sun Hongxiu saw that Xi Hongdou was willing to deal with them, so he said: "Actually, we came to find a job in Kyoto City. ”
Xi Hongdou wondered: "Isn't there still a field in my hometown?" It's not a lot of money a year, right?! ”
Zhao Tiezhu said: "There is little land at home, even if the two of us open up more wasteland, we can't take care of it, it's not worth finding someone, it's enough to have enough food and clothing, but now there are many children in the family, and ...... in the future."
Xi Hongdou asked, "How many more children can there be?" Is she still a little peach girl? ”
As soon as she asked this, Sun Hongxiu said, "No, now...... Four! "It's a little embarrassing.
Xi Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's a little more, and the little land at home is really not enough." ”
"So we rented out our family's land and collected some rent every year, and we wanted to come to Kyoto City to find a profitable business! The children stayed in their hometown, entrusted to someone to help take care of them, and we picked them up when we were a little more grounded. Sun Hongxiu said, looking at Xi Hongdou expectantly.
When Xi Hongdou heard this, he said, "What do you want to do?" ”
