Yan Qingge's face was ugly, and he silently followed everyone into the city, rarely speaking on the way.

Le Xuan didn't seem to be right when he saw her, thinking that she was tired on the road, so he came to her and said: "Bear with me, the house is all arranged, and it will be specially cleaned up for you, according to the previous layout of your boudoir in the capital, you must be comfortable to live in." ”

Yan Qingge smiled reluctantly, and said with a pale face: "Brother Xuan, thank you for thinking about me." ”

"It's all a family, where is that?" Le Xuan smiled: "I'm jealous of you, next year you will be younger than me, and now you have children." ”

Yan Qingge was silent for a moment, and almost couldn't help blurting out Yan Wan'er's identity. When facing the Le family, she thought that she had a good concentration, but it almost disappeared.

After a short time, they came to the state pastor's mansion, and the Gu family stood in front of the gate, looking forward to it, and when they came back, their eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile.

Gu gave birth to two sons, and he liked the little girl even more, and reported Yan Wan'er from Le Xuan's hands, but he couldn't love it, so he walked in front and led Yan Qingge to the guest room.

Yan Qingge looked at Yan Wan'er from time to time, and his heart was heavy.

Gu Shi thought that Yan Qingge had a long journey, thinking that he was so tired, he had already cleaned up the house comfortably and neatly, and he didn't bother her, just said a few words, and let her rest well, Le Yi hadn't come back yet, and he would get together in the evening.

The maids sat down with Yan Qingge, changed her clothes, and asked with a smile: "Niangniang, my uncle has prepared hot water for you, do you want to take a bath before sleeping."

Yan Qingge shook his head, clenched his fingers tightly, looked at the layout of the room, put his eyes on a small embroidery pier, and said a little uneasily: "Report Wan'er." ”

Xunshuang and Wenxue didn't know why Yan Qingge wanted to see Yan Wan'er at this time, and told the nurse to bring someone over.

The nurse brought Yan Wan'er and just wanted to say two pleasing words, such as the uncle's wife has a really good temper, but she didn't expect Yan Qingge to wave her hand and say, "You guys go out first, I'll accompany Wan'er." ”

Everyone's intuition was a little wrong, Xunshuang gave Wen Xue a look, and the two took the lead together, and the rest of the maids and women left in the blink of an eye.

Yan Wan'er was ignorant, smiled at Yan Qingge, stood in front of her, stretched out her little hand to hold her index finger, raised her head and said, "Mother, do you have something to find Wan'er?" ”

Yan Wan'er was born in September, and she is now two years and one month old. She couldn't speak when she was a little over a year old, but after a year and a half, she learned to speak very quickly, and was now able to have normal conversations.

Yan Qingge pointed to the embroidery pier that he had looked at before, and said to her: "You sit down, my mother will test your rules, don't be embarrassed at your aunt's house." ”

"Yes!" Yan Wan'er walked to the embroidery pier in small steps, looked at it, and thought about how to go up.

The embroidery pier was as high as her armpit, and it was very difficult to get up.

Yan Wan'er climbed and flipped again, but it didn't work.

Yan Qingge looked at her like this, his eyes were plated with a layer of cold light, he came to her, lowered his voice and asked, "Wan'er, when you left home, didn't you climb into the carriage by yourself and hide in the bucket and come with us?" Mother remembers that the carriage is taller than this embroidery pier, how did you get there? ”

Yan Wan'er thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't remember!" ”

"And can you still climb into the carriage now?" Yan Qingge asked.

Yan Wan'er shook her head, suddenly her big eyes lit up, and she said, "Someone hugged Wan'er up!" ”

"Who is it?" Yan Qingge was excited and asked.

"It was a mother-in-law I didn't know who carried me up. She said that if she can go up, she will go with you! Yan Wan'er said.

"What does that mother-in-law look like?" Yan Qingge asked excitedly.

Yan Wan'er frowned and thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "I don't remember." ”

Yan Qingge asked carefully for a long time, and Yan Wan'er recalled, but Yan Wan'er was too young to remember the details at that time.

But what is already certain is that it was not so simple for Yan Wan'er to catch up at the beginning, it was the result of someone planning behind it. Even the little blanket that Yan Wan'er spread out in the bucket was prepared by the mother-in-law who carried her into the car.

Seeing that Yan Wan'er couldn't say anything more, Yan Qingge changed the topic, hugged her under her ribs, put her on the embroidery pier, and said: "If there is no low stool where you go, and you can only sit in such a high place, you can ask the maid and the nurse to carry you up, it is very rude to climb by yourself, and people will laugh at you." ”

"Oh! Thank you for teaching me! Yan Wan'er nodded, her little face suddenly realized, and she clapped her little hands and said. In the past, when she was in Yanwang's Mansion, the furniture used by her, Yan Ling'er and Aman's house was specially built, just enough for children, so she didn't have any knowledge of this at all.

Yan Qingge taught Yan Wan'er some other rules by the way, and Yan Wan'er said that she remembered them all, so she was let out of the door by Yan Qingge.

In the afternoon, Yan Qingge slept for a while, got up, freshened up, and took the two children to the courtyard where Gu and Le Yi lived.

Le Yi rode a horse and went to a county in Qingzhou with people the day before yesterday. It's about to be winter, the location of that county is not good, and it is easy for barbarians to rush over from the grassland to hit the grass valley over the years, although Qingzhou has been strictly guarded in recent years, this kind of thing is rare, but it is still necessary to do a good job of civil defense in advance.

Calculating the time, plus someone has already gone to meet him, if Le Yi did not delay the trip locally, he would be able to get home tonight.

Le Xuan's wedding is approaching, Gu is very busy, he is sitting in the house to reconcile, and there are large open boxes on the ground next to him, which contain all kinds of things to be used for future weddings.

Seeing Yan Qingge come in, Gu Shi hurriedly beckoned her to come over: "You came just right, quickly show me this account, get in and out, I'm confused." ”

Gu is not a good housekeeper, especially in accounting, he is not good at accounting, and when he sees the calculation, it is like asking for her life. In the past, when she was in the capital, when Yan Qingge lived in Lejia, she would occasionally help her check her accounts.

Yan Qingge leaned over and saw that it was a list of porcelain purchases, and bills were written in the account book next to him, all kinds of large and small bowls, plates, cups, pots, retorts, bottles, basins, urns, jars, plates...... There are a lot of dazzling, countless of them, and a long roll of paper was written, not to mention the Gu family, even Yan Qingge saw that his head was also big.

She sat down at the table, asked for a pen and paper, and rearranged the calculation chips, slowly adding them up, and it took more than half an hour to calculate the account.

In the process of settling accounts, she found that the prices of these porcelains were not cheap, if the person who sold the porcelain was not a profiteer, the quality of these porcelains should be very good, and these things should be used by Le Xuan after marriage, which shows that Gu is really satisfied with his future daughter-in-law.

Seeing that the account had been calculated, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a loss for you!" It is said that I have been stupid for three years to be pregnant, and I was old when I gave birth to Liang'er, so my brain is even more confused! ”

"Auntie, if there's anything else you need to do, just leave it to me." Yan Qingge said with a smile.

When she first took the ledger, it was still shining, and now the lights were on.

"Don't do it! It's night, let's go to the front and see if the meal is ready. Your uncle won't wait for him until he comes back. Xu is delayed, otherwise he would have asked someone to leave a seat for him. ”

Yan Qingge saw that Gu was accustomed to it, and asked curiously, "Is my uncle very busy?" ”

"Busy! I thought that after the war, the world would be calm, and he would be able to rest for a while, but I didn't expect that there would be more things to do in the past few years than in the previous years. So far this year, your uncle has not taken a day off, and there are very few times when he eats at home, often going out for ten days and a half months, and when he comes home, he is so tired that he doesn't say much, and he sleeps in bed. I'm worried, after a while, Brother Xuan'er will be able to spare time on the day he gets married. Gu sighed slightly.

Yan Qingge was surprised: "How can this be! Isn't there anyone else who does things in Qingzhou, but I want my uncle to run around like this. ”

Generally speaking, the bigger the official position, the less work at hand, and there is no need to do everything yourself, as long as you leave it to your subordinates. Those who do everything and tire themselves are not good officials, but mediocre officials.

Le Yi's skills are placed there, and they are also very popular, and the people who are willing to serve him are like carp crossing the river, how should they not be like this.

"Who knows! I can't control men's affairs, as long as your uncle is happy. Gu smiled, grabbed Yan Qingge's hand, and pulled her towards the front.

After a family banquet in the evening, Gu said to Yan Qingge: "Ming'er, I will take you to meet the girl of the Xu family, she is a very good girl, you must like it." ”

Yan Qingge was stunned: "I'm a member of my mother-in-law's family, and now when I come to the door at this time, are people willing to let us see me?" ”

"Don't be afraid! Qingzhou's folk customs are different from other places, many women are free to move around the street, and there are many people who go out to open shops to do business, many even find their own in-laws, and others praise them for their ability. Gu's eyebrows and eyes curled when he smiled.

Yan Qingge remembered that during the war a few years ago, many women played a great role in it, and many women were called heroines afterwards, and a large number of Northern barbarians with open folk customs were also moved into Qingzhou, and Le Yi, the state pastor, was not the kind of pedantic person, and for various reasons, the status of women in Qingzhou was greatly improved.

"That's great!" Yan Qingge couldn't help but be genuinely amazed. It would be good if the whole world was like this, but unfortunately in the capital, most women can only go out of the door, and they can't step out of the second door, and many things can't help themselves, which is really aggrieved.

After returning to the house, Yan Qingge opened the salute he brought, and carefully selected it for a long time before finding a gift that he thought was suitable.

The folk customs of Qingzhou are different from other places, and the girl of the Xu family should be generous and strong, she is twenty-two years old this year, and she is not a child anymore, so Yan Qingge did not choose those ordinary gold and silver jewelry, but chose a very beautiful saddle, the saddle is made of hard-to-find snow leopard skin, made by famous craftsmen in Beijing, which is very suitable for use in a place like Qingzhou where there are many horses and the weather is not hot.
