The dust settled on staying in Beijing, and the life of the Jiang family was slowly on the right track. The capital is not smaller than the local county, after coming to the capital, Yan Niang with the assistance of the Qi family set a complete set of rules for the inner house, if there is a subordinate who does not obey the discipline, they will be dealt with in accordance with the rules.

At the time of exhaustion, the people on the stove were all hired local mothers-in-law of exhaustion, and this time they did not go to Beijing with them. Mrs. Yan Niang Tuoguo introduced a tooth woman and bought a cook and a little maid who burned the fire. thought that Yan Bo was the only one in the concierge, so he was matched with a strong man in his thirties.

After paying the silver, Yan Niang and Jiang Yucheng sighed: "The price of goods in this capital is really high, just a few people, it is more expensive than the total price of all the people in our family." Fortunately, we still have some money in our hands, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to afford it. ”

Jiang Yucheng said: "It's more expensive, I heard my senior brother say that the tooth woman is a tooth person with a good reputation in Beijing, and the slaves sold from her will not have any bad things." ”

Yan Niang nodded, "Yes, our family, old and young, is still a stable and reliable person, so it is more reassuring." ”

The strong man's name was Liu Da, Jiang Yucheng saw that he was tall and mighty, so he let him take on the errand of the nursing home, and Yan Bo was still in charge of guarding the door and driving the car. The cook's name is Zhu Sister-in-law, and the fire maid is called Xiao Miao, they were originally slaves of large families, but later the master's family committed an accident, and they were also sold by the government.

At that time, Ya Po told Yan Niang very clearly, afraid that she would be taboo. Yan Niang felt that as long as they were not betrayed by themselves, they could still accept it.

I wish my sister-in-law good cooking, and after coming to the new master's house, she showed her hand at the first meal, and was praised by the Jiang family. Mother Jiang smiled and said, "After living for decades, today's meal is the best meal I have ever tasted." ”

Jiang Yucheng glanced at Yan Niang and quipped: "I wish my sister-in-law a good cook, it seems that this money is not unjustly spent." ”

"It's not wronged, but we earned it." Yan Niang smiled, "Not only did my mother eat happily, but even the three sisters and brothers also ate a lot." ”

Mother Jiang and Jiang Yucheng followed her words to see the three sisters and brothers, who only ate one bowl of rice on weekdays, but today they added half a bowl of rice. Among the twins, his brother Wen Yan doesn't like to eat vegetables the most, but he eats all the vegetables that Yan Niang gave him. Wenbo has always been a picky eater, and the amount of food almost caught up with the full.

Mother Jiang looked at her three grandchildren, and the smile on her face never changed. She said to her son and daughter-in-law: "Our family has only been lively in the past two years, but I always feel that there are still fewer three children." Cheng'er, Yan Niang, while you are young, you can work hard to have two more. ”

Hearing this, Yan Niang didn't want to speak, but Jiang Yucheng didn't have any scruples, "Mother, you have to rely on fate to have a child, and if you have it, you will naturally be born." Don't worry about this when you're old, Wenyan Wenbo is the age of naughty, and it's quite annoying to have more children at home. ”

Jiang's mother only mentioned it in passing, she knew that the Jiang family had always had thin heirs, and it was already very good to have two handles in Wenyan Wenbo's generation, and it was not necessary to force them to have another son.

So he changed the topic and said: "What you said is also true, Wen Yan Wenbo is already three years old, and he will be enlightened in two years, while they are still young, I will accompany them." ”

After speaking, he mentioned Manman, "I heard that women here in the capital like to take their daughters to other homes as guests, and you can take Manman out for a walk when you are free, and make a few more friends, so as not to let the little girl stay at home and get bored." ”

Yan Niang responded: "Okay, listen to my mother." ”

When I listened to it, there was a hint of brilliance in my eyes.

Before she came to the capital, she was full of thoughts about the prosperous world described by her grandson's brother, and after coming to the capital, she found that the capital was not fun at all, and there were many rules. After coming to the capital for two months, she only went out twice in total, and every time she listened to her mother and Uncle Guo's homely conversations in the inner courtyard of the Guo family, which was really boring.

My mother said that when she grew up, she couldn't be as wild as when she was a child, and she had to look like a girl's family. In addition to writing and reading every day, I also have to learn female celebrities. She is particularly envious of Wen Yan and Wen Bo, who only need to eat, sleep, and play every day.

The days flickered to the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, a dragon boat race will be held on the Fucheng River, and almost all the people in the capital will go back to watch the race, which is a very lively event.

At this time, the pergola on the shore is very sought-after, and it is booked by the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing more than a month in advance. Mrs. Guo also grabbed one in the name of Taishi Zhang Yuanqing.

So on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the three daughters of the Zhang family, the Guo family and the Jiang family all gathered in the shed. The Zhang family came to Zhang Yuanqing's eldest daughter-in-law Heinz and her daughter Zhang Qiongzhi, and the Guo family only had Mrs. Guo and the second daughter Guo Hongying, and Yan Niang was full of them, and they were also mother and daughter.

Man Man is the same age as Zhang Qiongzhi, and he soon played together. Yan Niang talked to Mrs. Guo and Heinz, and Guo Hongying sat aside and listened quietly.

Heinz glanced at her and asked Mrs. Guo, "Why didn't Xue Ying come today?" ”

After hearing this, Guo's eyebrows suddenly became a layer of sorrow, "Hey, that child was greedy for cold two days ago, and her body was a little uncomfortable, so I let her stay at home to rest." ”

Heinz nodded, "It's been a little hot these days, but you have to pay attention." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Manman, who was playing with his daughter, and said to Yan Niang: "Manman, this child is so good-looking, our family Qiongzhi is with her, like a country girl." Although she had a smile on her face, there was some unhappiness in her tone.

Yan Niang followed her line of sight, compared with Yuxue's cute fullness, Zhang Qiongzhi was indeed ordinary. Out of politeness, she still praised: "Qiong Zhi looked at Wen Jing and was well-behaved, and at first glance she was a child from a scholarly family." ”

Hearing this, Heinz was very proud.

In fact, she doesn't look down on Yan Niang, a second-married woman shows up with her daughter born to her ex-husband, and she has no shame at all. If it weren't for Mrs. Guo's face, she really didn't want to be in the same pergola with her.

She pretended not to mention it unintentionally, "The pergola of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion is not far from our pergola, I wonder if the Ling family is present?" ”

The Ling family in her mouth is naturally Fan Jin, because apart from her, it is impossible for other Ling family members to enter the pergola of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion. She wants to see jokes, but Yan Niang naturally won't do what she wants.

She smiled and said, "If the eldest grandmother is curious, you can send the little girl to ask." ”

Heinz was very unhappy when he touched a soft nail, and was about to choke when he heard a sudden sound of gongs outside, and the surroundings were quiet, and the gong beaters shouted: "Please listen to the teams, the game will start after the gong rings three times." ”

The dragon boat teams were all ready, and one of them was eye-catching, because except for them, who were fully dressed, the rest of the teams were shirtless. Yan Niang asked Mrs. Guo curiously the reason, and Mrs. Guo explained with a smile: "The Jinwu Guards led by the eldest princess's grandson, Marquis Wu Xiao, are all royal nobles, and the emperor ordered them to participate, saying that they want to have fun with the people." ”

Yan Niang nodded, "I see." ”

Heinz on the side was not happy to be treated coldly by Yan Niang and Mrs. Guo, forgot about the previous unhappiness, and interjected: "Yan Niang, you have not been in the capital for a long time, and I don't know that they are normal. The Jinwu Guards led by Wu Xiaohou are not only from noble backgrounds, but also have no families, you look at the ladies and wives in the other sheds, which one is not eyeing each other, and I can't wait to rob someone to be a son-in-law immediately. ”

Yan Niang was a little unconvinced, and Mrs. Guo nodded, "It's indeed as Meiyi said." When she said this, she glanced at her daughter Hongying, if it weren't for her husband's unwillingness to have anything to do with the royal family, she would have such thoughts.

Yan Niang's eyes returned to the river, and after hearing the sound of the gong three times, the Jinwu guards rushed out like arrows from the string, leaving the other dragon boat teams far behind, and the shore suddenly resounded one after another cheers.

The wonderful performance of the Jinwu Guards made the ladies and ladies in the pergola come out of the shed to watch, and Yan Niang and the others also went out. Man Man and Zhang Qiongzhi are young, and it is the first time they have seen such a lively game, and they are very focused.

Yan Niang stood outside for a while, only to feel a little stuffy in her chest, she told Qingyang and Xiangrui to take a good look at it, and then walked back to the shed to rest.

After a stick of incense, the event ended, and the Jinwu Guards won the first place without any suspense, and the second and third were teams composed of ordinary people. When the news reached the palace, Emperor Xianqing was overjoyed, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded the top three teams, of course, the Jinwu Guards were the most generous.

After the dragon boat race, Jiang Yucheng came to pick up his wife and daughter home, and Yan Niang's chest tightness not only did not dissipate, but became more serious. Seeing this, Jiang Yucheng asked with concern: "Yan Niang, are you feeling unwell?" ”

Yan Niang shook her head and said, "Maybe it's too hot today, so it's good to go back and rest." ”

Jiang Yucheng glanced at his wife carefully, only to feel that her lips were a little pale, "No, let's go to the medical hall first and let the doctor take a look." ”

Yan Niang couldn't resist him, so she had to respond.
