Mingyue and Yu Jiayan didn't stay in the courtyard of the house next door for a long time, the two symbolically ate a few bites of food and drank a glass of wine, and then left together.

Back in the back house of the Yu family, where the little couple lived daily, Mingyue sent Vanilla and Liu San's family to the next house for dinner.

Liu Sanjia didn't want to go, not because she had any opinions about the winter solstice or Changping, but because she felt that she was not suitable for leaving the little master alone.

Mingyue understood very well what the Liu San family was thinking, she smiled and pushed the other party out of the door, "Isn't this still me and Jiayan, we two big people, can't we take care of their two brothers and sisters?" ”

Liu Sanjia was speechless, she would never think that she was more careful with her two children than Mingyue and Yu Jiayan were with her two children.

Liu San's family hesitated to go to eat, and Mingyue and Yu Jiayan closed the door to play with their two little babies.

Brother An has already spoken very neatly, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan accompanied him, which made him very happy, the little guy was jumping and jumping on the big kang, and his mouth was still saying childish words with unknown meaning.

Yu Jiayan is very patient with his children, he laughs and talks to Brother An, and occasionally hugs Brother An twice and kisses him, making the little guy so happy that he can't see his teeth.

Mingyue watched the father and son make a fuss, while gently patting her little girl with her hand.

There was no word all night, and in the blink of an eye it was another day.

"Master! Master! "The winter solstice is newly married, Mingyue gave her three days off, and now she is serving the lively and slightly babbling vanilla.

She trotted all the way into the main room, and although her voice was low, the excitement in her tone could not be concealed at all.

Mingyue put down the notebook in her hand, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's Lord Gu! Master Gu, he has been promoted! Vanilla's excited little face flushed, "I heard Shengping say that Master Gu jumped two levels in a row and was promoted to a general sentence!" ”

Mingyue's eyebrows were slightly raised.

Gu Zhixian was promoted, she was mentally prepared, after all, Gu Zhixian has been evaluated for three consecutive years, and last year he also made a great contribution to the relief of the homeless, if it wasn't for his own excerpt, saying that he would continue to follow up on the rice planting in Fuxing County, his new appointment last winter would have been sent to Fuxing County.

Seeing this year's bumper rice harvest, the crop of rice has completely taken root in Fuxing County, isn't Guzhi County about to rise.

She asked Vanilla, "But where is the transfer to be judged?" ”

Vanilla was stunned.

"It's better to stay in our Jingtai Mansion." Yu Jiayan lifted the curtain and walked in, "You go to back up the generous gifts, and while there are few people who know now, we have to hurry up and go to the county office to congratulate Master Gu." ”

Mingyue heard that she hurriedly put on her shoes and went to the kang with herbs to the warehouse to choose a congratulatory gift.

After referring to Yu Jiayan's opinion, she chose a set of four treasures of the study, a set of pastel tea sets, a pair of fine-necked plum bottles, two new plain Hangzhou silk this year, and two cans of fine tea brought back by Yu Jiayan from Fucheng as a gift.

The little couple took a mule cart and took Shengping and vanilla to the county government's house.

When they arrived, the members of the Ming family also arrived with them in the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying.

The two families entered the Gu family together, and Gu Zhixian's nephew greeted them at the gate of the courtyard.

The two groups of people greeted each other, Gu Zhixian's nephew took Yu Jiayan and other male guests to Gu Zhixian's study, and Mingyue and other female relatives were led by their mother-in-law to see Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu was as close to the Ming family and the Yu family as always, and as soon as Mingyue and the others walked to the middle of the courtyard, Mrs. Gu had already brought a few of her children out.

Mingyue and the others stepped forward to congratulate, and Mrs. Gu smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Quick, come and sit in the house." ”

She let Mingyue and the others into the upper room, and Mingyue and the others first greeted Mrs. Gu, and then talked to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law about Gu Zhixian's ascension.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Gu family did not pretend to be indifferent in front of Mingyue and them, Mrs. Gu took Mrs. Ming's hand and told her joy and gratitude to the Ming family and the Yu family, and Mrs. Gu also looked like she was happy and happy.

Mingyue said a few words to her, and then she realized that in addition to Gu Zhixian Gaosheng, Mrs. Gu was actually diagnosed as pregnant at the same time.

She explained to Mingyue and the others in a slightly shy whisper, "... It's also useless for me, and I fainted directly when I was happy. ”

Before the Ming family could relieve Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu had already patted her daughter-in-law's hand to comfort Mrs. Gu, "You kid, look at what you said!" Once this woman has a body, no matter how she is, she will inevitably be a little weaker than usual, what does it have to do with whether you are useful or not? ”

Mrs. Gu's expression was gentle.

In her life, she has been suffering for more than 20 years, but the hardships she has suffered are all physical, thrifty and hardworking, instead of being harsh by her mother's family, tortured by her mother-in-law, and mistreated by her husband.

Because she has always been in a warm and harmonious family atmosphere, Mrs. Gu even once thought that even if she had to live the hard days before in her life, she would never regret entrusting her parents to be the daughter and regretting marrying into the Gu family.

When everyone envied her for all her hardships, she actually wanted to tell those people that she never felt that she had a hard time.

With a caring husband, loving mother-in-law, and filial piety to her children, Mrs. Gu feels that she has actually reached the peak of her life.

As for the later entrance examination of Gu Zhixian and the official officer, Mrs. Gu was naturally happy about these things, but compared with the harmony and warmth of the family, Mrs. Gu looked down on her husband's career development.

She will be worried about Gu Zhixian's unsuccessful career, and she will be happy for Gu Zhixian to rise step by step, but she will never force Gu Zhixian to camp and drill the camp in order to climb higher.

There is a way that a virtuous wife and a husband have few disasters, and Gu Zhixian can have a wife like Mrs. Gu who looks down on fame and fortune, at least she will not cause any trouble in the future because of lax governance of the family.

The two groups of people exchanged joys and joys about Gu Zhixian's promotion, and then Mrs. Gu proposed to let Ming Xu, Yu Jiayan and other juniors who had already won the promotion follow Gu Zhixian to study in Fucheng.

Mingyue and the others knew that this must be Gu Zhixian's meaning, as a very responsible strict teacher, even if Gu Zhixian was promoted, he would never relax the supervision and teaching of several of his students.

"It's hard for us to make up our minds about this, whether we want to go to Fucheng or not, let Da Lang and them decide for themselves." Although the Ming family and the Yu family had already discussed this matter in private, Mrs. Ming still did not agree immediately.

It's not that she wants to take Qiao, Mrs. Ming, who has been kind all her life, can't come up with a capital moth like "take Qiao".

She just doesn't want others to think that she has no idea and listens to the woman in the house for everything.

For men who want to become officials, "easy to be swayed by women in the house" is not a good reputation.

Although Mrs. Ming doesn't understand this, she can't stand that she has a group of extraordinarily successful grandsons, granddaughters, and grandsons-in-law.
