Chapter 323: Spring in the Cold Festival
Because Sister Qiu was pregnant, Lin Zhun sent a letter home, and continued to take Sister Qiu to live in the imperial capital, with Sister-in-law Xu taking care of Sister Qiu's diet and daily life.
By mid-April, Zhang Ruoxu's marriage had a clue, and he fell in love with a young lady surnamed Hu. The grandfather of Miss Hu once served as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and was very famous when he was alive, her father was the middle waiter of the five products, it is a pity that Hu Ye and Hu's father did not die early, Miss Hu was 13 years old when Hu Ye was ready to get married, and he kept a year of filial piety, and when he was 13 years old, his father was gone, and he kept three years of filial piety, and when the filial piety was over, she also delayed becoming a ten-year-old uncle and wife.
Although Miss Hu is a scholarly lady, her father was a five-grade official before his death, but this is the imperial capital, and the most important thing is the official, the five-grade official is really nothing, and Miss Hu's only brother is not very bright in studying, although he is honest and mellow, but now he is in his early 20s, and he is only an old showman.
There is Huang Yushi to protect the media, Miss Hu is there again, Mrs. Hu is very keen on this marriage, Miss Hu was not very happy, Zhang Ruoxu is just a lifter, what is more important is that the home is too far away from the imperial capital, the little lady's family is afraid of marrying far away, his condition is not attractive, and later under Mrs. Hu's deployment arrangement, sneaked a glimpse of the humble side, the little lady turned her head and replied shyly, claiming that "all are in charge of the mother".
Miss Hu was in a hurry to get out of the cabinet, but Zhang Ruoxu was not in a hurry to marry, the two families said that in the future, Zhang Ruoxu relied on the number of Huyang wedding ceremonies, first asked Dayin to go back to Jiujiang to pick up his mother, and then looked for a store to play three gold and three silver, ready to wait for his mother to come and then get married.
"This boy is a filial one! The character is not bad, although it is only a lifting person now, there will be a day of Tengda in the future! Huang Yushi praised Zhang Ruoxu from his hair to his heels to the Hu family.
Li Ailian didn't come alone, Jia also followed, saying that she was here to serve Sister Qiu, and when the child was full moon, she followed Sister Qiu back to Xiaohe Town.
"Mother, you're here, what about the father, what about the small preface and the small building?" Lin Zhun asked with a smile.
"Can I not come?" Jia Shi tied his braids while counting Sister Qiu and Lin Zhun on the other hand, "There is no elder to look at such a big thing as having a child, just the two of you, where can I put my mind down?" Dazhun can take care of you, so who will take care of you? Fanghua is also pregnant, she is the first child, although your mother has you in her heart, but it is not good to leave Fanghua over, only I am here. ”
When the maple leaves in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing were red, Sister Qiu gave birth to a boy who weighed six pounds, and she was born with thick black fetal hair, and she cried very loudly. Lin Zhun gave the boy a big name, called Lin Zheng, when Jia went to the Buddhist temple in the suburbs of Beijing to burn incense, he asked someone to tell the fortune of the little grandson, saying that the five elements were short of gold, so he gave the little grandson a slightly vulgar nickname, called Jin Geer.
"Mother, the entrance examination is the first step to becoming an official, no matter how good the examination is, all of them must start from the seven-grade official." Lin Zhun explained with a smile, even if it is the top of the Jinke list, if there is no internal relationship, it is not from Hanlin
The courtyard is edited and repaired, the general Qingshui Yamen, the general seven-grade petty officials, but although the big guys are a little bit close, they will be mixed up in the back according to their abilities.
Some people became senior officials in the DPRK and China at a young age, and eventually entered the center of power, and some people were also Qipin county officials all their lives. Lin Zhun is not willing to take the imperial examination, it is also based on this, he has a family, a family name, a field, and an industry, so why bother to put down the comfortable days in front of his face and go to the officialdom to fight.
The big guys all felt that Li Ailian wanted to follow the boy's family to Huzhou to take office, but Li Ailian was not happy to go, and only asked her daughter-in-law Hu to take care of Zhang Ruoxu and her grandchildren.
"What am I going to do? I didn't recognize any of them, and I couldn't find anyone to talk to! Li Ailian said, "It's not enough to be here, with the old sisters with me, and my daughter and son-in-law taking care of me, how many people envy my life!" ”
On the day Zhang Ruoxu's family set off to take office, almost all of them came to see them off, and the Great Seal deployed a very large number of people to escort them all the way, and the basic safety was no problem.
The eldest uncle's family also came, Tian hugged the eldest cousin's newborn son, and watched with envy as Zhang Ruoxu boarded the car with the family, and waved goodbye to the big guy.
"Eh, if the long family continued to be an official back then, it would definitely be an official now!" Tian babbled and said, couldn't help but complain about this and began to complain about that, "At first, his second aunt and second aunt worked hard to transfer the eldest family to a clerical position, but now he doesn't have to do manual work, no, he is also an official, not much worse than him!" ”
After the Chang family learned the craft in Huyang, they went back to Jiujiang to open a woodware shop.
In the past, the Tian family chattered in front of everyone, as if her kid was not interested because these relatives in the family were unwilling to stretch out their hands, and Li Changjie would quarrel with her for a few words, but now the big guys are all used to Tian's nervousness, and Li Changjie is too lazy to argue with her about these Xu.
In fact, Sister Qiu can also understand Tian's mood, in the 20 years before she married Li Changjiao, her life was much better than that of the two little sisters, and the two little sisters looked at her face when they came to her house. Who would think that feng shui takes turns, the two little sisters are in a thousand a day, although she is not standing still, compared to the two little sisters, all the families have a famous scholar, her two children are only craftsmen, it is her turn to see the faces of the two little sisters, the psychological gap is too big to accept.
After having children, Sister Qiu always felt that the time passed very quickly, and she showed her eyes, all of them were 9 years old, Brother Jin was also 6 years old, and Brother Min was also 2 years old.
Although Zhang Ruoxu got married three years later than her, everyone has four children, and the rhythm of holding one a year, Dayin also has two sons and two daughters.
Her home in Xiaohe Town was also expanded twice, with six side houses in the courtyard and three tiled houses in the backyard.
Small preface
has already passed the exam, or the head of the case, after the spring, Mr. Long took him around. For Xiaoxu, it is not difficult to take the exam, but the difficult thing is how to take the gold subject champion, and come to a three-yuan and first. If you want to be the top student in the gold department and write a splendid essay praised by the examiners, you can't just study by death, and experience is also very important.
Compared with the eldest brother, Xiaobu is not so brilliant, urinating is not as smart as Xiaoxu, the more he grows up, the more he develops in a mellow and honest direction, and the Chengri family oppresses his naughty nephew and nephew's daughter, he just smiles, and he doesn't put it in his heart at all. It's just that the more he is like this, the more heartache the outsiders will be for him, Sister Qiu is ready to hand over the Qiu Ji shop to him, if he can succeed in his studies, it would be better, even if he doesn't, the family has a field and a shop, and it is enough to be a business-keeper with his prudence and kindness.
When sending Zhang Ruoxu, Li Ailian has always been smiling, and persuaded the kid to be an official, don't let down the people, but after Zhang Ruoxu's car gradually disappeared in her eyes, Li Ailian began to shed tears, and finally hugged Zhang Yuxiu and Jia's number, except for the few times when Zhang Ruoxu rushed to take the exam, the kid never left her side, and now this is gone, I don't know when I can come back.
It took a long time for everyone to persuade Li Ailian, Huzhou is not far from Huyang, and it is a 6-day road journey by car.
By the time Sister Qiu's family arrived in Xiaohe Town, it was already noon. When the car drove past the entrance of the village, Lin Laosuo suddenly said that the old house had not been back for a long time, and he wanted to go in and have a look.
The man who pulled the cart turned around and entered the village from another direction. Sister Qiu and Lin Zhun accompanied Lin Laosuo to look at the house, and Aunt Chunhua took the children home to cook.
Although the old mansion is not inhabited, Aunt Chunhua often brings servants to clean it, in the end, the old mansion is the place where their older generation has lived for decades, and emotionally it is incomparable to any house. The lock on the gate board is still a new large iron lock, which is often oiled and wiped to avoid rust.
Lin Laosuo cherished the things in the courtyard, and smiled and told Lin Zhun and Sister Qiu about the stories that happened in the courtyard. Once people are old, they like to recall the past, and they become chattering, like the story that Lin Laosuo told them, I don't know how many times they have told it, Lin Laosuo has forgotten it himself, and when he touches his head, he picks it up and says.
Sister Qiu and Lin Zhun listened with a smile, looking very interested, the old man has those hobbies, and it is not difficult to be a junior with the tolerance.
As the servants were talking, they listened to a sharp scolding from the Mei family next door, breaking the tranquility of the small courtyard of the crop households.
"You old immortal! Something is worthless if it is in your hand? I can't even get you back with a bowl if you sell your bones and tendons......" The sharp and harsh woman's voice continued.
Sister Qiu heard it, it was Yang Xiaohong who was scolding.
Lin Laosu sighed, stood with his hands behind his back and heard for a moment, shook his head and said to Sister Qiu: "Go and take a look, you are a good boy, they are there."
It's not like it. "It's not appropriate to put it on the back foot and pretend not to know, plus after such a year, the grandchildren are all old, and no matter how big the grievances and grievances should be put aside.
Sister Qiu responded, and when she was ready to go over, Lin Zhun also wanted to go over, Sister Qiu blocked him with a smile, knowing that he was not at ease, Qiao Xian and the copper stock incident could be regarded as frightening him, all of them were young people in the past, and I didn't want Sister Qiu to go out alone.
