Chapter 07 Small Talk
Another selfish is also missing home, I want to go back to see the children, and now I have the best of both worlds and nothing to lose, and the grandmother naturally likes it very much.
After taking care of the children for more than three years, I have a land, so I have a lot of face to go home like this, and I don't have to worry about being scolded by my husband and mother-in-law, and I can go back to take care of the children, so naturally there is no reason to be unhappy.
Yang nodded slightly, "Okay, then you go to the housekeeper, I have already explained, let him find a good field, and let your man go to see it and transfer the house, so as not to be deceived." ”
"Thank you so much, ma'am."
Mama immediately knelt down and kowtowed, overjoyed.
"Go ahead, you can go back in a few days, and talk to your man."
"Okay, thank you, ma'am."
The Yang family didn't give any more money to reward, the original plan was to have all the land and silver, but she was not satisfied with Zilan, and the silver for the reward was gone.
The grandmother happily packed up her things and said hello to the housekeeper and went back, she believed that Mrs. County Ling would not lie to her, it would take a few days to find a field, and she would naturally go to the house to inform them.
Seeing that Grandma was gone, Zilan sneaked in, followed by Ziyan, who had just gotten out of school.
"Are you eavesdropping?"
Yang deliberately looked at a pair of children with a straight face, and Ziyan pulled his sister in.
"Just heard a few words. Her mother did not give her a silver reward. ”
Zilan didn't understand, but Ziyan knew that his grandmother had given him a lot of things when she left, because she was very good to him and did her best, everyone saw it in their eyes, and naturally she wouldn't treat him lightly.
"Well, she caused Lan'er a serious illness, you look at it for half a month, your sister's little face is still sharp, every time I think about it, I blame myself in my heart. How could I give her a silver reward. ”
Yang was so angry when she mentioned this stubble, and she blamed herself very much for not taking care of her daughter, but in addition to taking care of her children, she also had to take care of housework, entertain the wives outside and many other affairs.
"Mother, I'm fine, I'll eat well and gain weight."
Zilan climbed onto the couch and hugged Yang, these days she felt that Yang's love for her was not fake in the slightest, and slowly she really loved her as a mother.
"My daughter is the most well-behaved, don't blame my mother for not being angry with you. The reputation of the girl's family is important, especially the identity of the grandmother, who is kind to you, so the best way is to have full affection for each other, otherwise people will say that you are mean and unkind. ”
Yang took the opportunity to teach her daughter not to be resentful, just send her away.
"I know, I know that my mother is all for my good."
Zilan also felt that it was best to deal with it in this way, and she couldn't beat her grandmother to death because of the secret she couldn't tell, it wouldn't do the Song family any good if she made a big fuss, and the little girl never wanted her father and brother to be damaged.
"That's it, it's enough to find a few good fields for her and buy them, and it's the greatest luck that my sister is fine."
Ziyan also thinks so.
Zilan twisted her face and asked, "Are we really going back to the capital?" ”
"Yes, your father has already received the withering order, and the letter from your grandfather's family in the capital has also arrived in advance, we have to go back to report on our work, and wait for a while to see if there are any new arrangements."
Young's gentle explanation.
Zilan nodded understandingly, the official position is limited, it is not that you are directly promoted or transferred, but you have to go back to Beijing to report on your work first, and then wait for the schedule, waiting for the order from above, before you can decide where you go.
Therefore, every year, many people will stay in the capital waiting for opportunities, and every three years the imperial examination is held to select outstanding new talents, but in fact, it is not every three years that a batch of official positions come out, so it is still necessary to wait.
These extra people will look for some opportunities, such as being a master in the deceased family, whether they are from a serious imperial examination, teaching their children to read is enough, and they can also settle down, and it is also the meaning of getting to know more people.
Yang soon got busy, to pack up his own things, and at the same time wrote a letter to his mother's family to send it, their mother and son have to go back to Beijing first, to buy a house to settle down, it may take a year and a half to live, the opportunity is not so easy to wait, even if it takes time to leave.
The Yang family bought some gifts to send back to the capital, and Zilan was actually playing to help on the side.
"Mother, what gifts should we bring to our grandmother and grandfather when we go back to the capital?"
Zilan thought that the Hou Mansion should still have a few connections, and making friends would be helpful to his father's transfer.
"I found some jade for your grandfather, and he loved to play with them. I prepared calligraphy, paintings and incense for your grandmother. Everyone else has gifts. ”
Yang paused to catch his breath and said.
"Didn't you say that your uncle and aunt are still close to you, but there are a lot of gifts, and aren't your cousins also studying? You can't go wrong with books and notes, but my dad is from Tanhualang, and my cousins won't dislike giving him a note. ”
Zilan tilted her head and asked.
"How did I forget this, thanks to you for reminding me, how do you know this."
Yang happily pinched his daughter's apple face.
Zilan pouted, "I saw my father's notes, and my father taught me and my brother, and my brother said that such notes are very precious, and even the master wants to copy a copy, otherwise why would the master take so much care of my brother." ”
Yang nodded thoughtfully.
Song Zhengtian came back, and as soon as Yang learned this, he also nodded, "My Lan'er is really a clever ghost, if you send me a note, you will definitely be pleased."
You sent it directly to your mother and sister-in-law, and you don't have to worry about what they do, just a copy of the note, can you copy it? If you send it alone, it will inevitably be a bit of a suspicion of favoritism. ”
"Okay, I understand, then I'll mention it when everyone is there, so it seems fair."
Yang also understood the key to this when he heard it, and there were some places that really needed attention.
"The old lady of the Lin family and the eldest young master went back to Beijing together, it just so happened that they were escorted by government soldiers, I begged them, you go back with them, I can rest assured, lest it be bad if you encounter bandits. You can just have an extra gift. ”
"It turns out that the old lady of the Lin family has returned to her hometown?"
Yang asked hurriedly.
"Yes, Lin Xi has never returned to his hometown, the old lady is old, and this time she came back to fulfill the old man's wish to worship her ancestors, and it may be the last time the old man came back, so he specially brought Lin Xi back."
Song Zhengtian nodded and said.
"No, the Lin family has also been prominent for three generations, and there is such a noble figure as the Queen Mother, I didn't expect you to run to say this, and they promised you."
Yang shook his head and smiled.
"My father and I used to study together in the Guozijian and had a fight, so we can be regarded as acquaintances, but I begged them to bring your mother and son, Tu is stable, and I didn't ask for anything else, if there is anything you don't agree, don't mention other things when you go."
Song Zhengtian specially explained.
"I see."
Zilan was confused, there was no such person in her memory, and she would know who it was sooner or later.
