As the New Year approaches, both the farmers outside the city and the vendors in the city want to earn more money in order to have a good New Year.

On the way back to his home, Cui Daowu encountered two people fighting over a bundle of bacon, and the horses couldn't get by, so he turned over and dismounted to stop, and mediated again, so he delayed half a pillar of incense.

When Cui Daowu arrived at the gate of the mansion, it was getting dark, he handed the reins in his hand to the little servant, glanced at the red sedan chair at the door, and asked, "The young lady's sister is here?" ”

The little guy bowed and said, "Yes, it's coming in the afternoon." ”

"Oh? Now that dinner time has passed, why haven't you left? Stay overnight? Cui Daowu has always disliked Zhang Qinlan, every time she came to visit Zhang Xinlan, Zhang Xinlan always had an inexplicable trouble.

Cui Daowu walked to the door of the room, and after thinking about it, he still planned to go to Aunt Zhao's yard.

"Brother-in-law, where are you going?" Zhang Qinlan stood at the door of the room and opened her mouth to stop Cui Daowu.

Cui Daowu couldn't, so he had to prevaricate: "I'm a little hungry and want to eat something." ”

"Come on in, then. Go and prepare some food for your young master. Zhang Qinlan was more like the master of the Cui family than Cui Daowu, and commanded with a calm expression.

Cui Daowu walked into the room and passed by Zhang Qinlan with a lukewarm attitude.

Zhang Qinlan observed the words and looked at the expression, knowing that she was not welcome, and said: "It's not too early, I'll go first." ”

Cui Daowu looked a little worried, and he didn't even remember to say polite words, so he only nodded and said, "Send Mrs. Wang out." ”

"Why is Zhuo'er here?" Aunt Zhao just gave birth to a son the month before last, and now she has just been full moon, looking white and cute, Cui Daowu loves him very much.

"Aunt Zhao is still not very good after the confinement, the doctor said that she should take care of herself, I was afraid that she would not take good care of her, so I took Zhuo'er over." Zhang Xinlan helped Cui Daowu take off his robe and did what her sister had just instructed.

The charcoal fire in the house was blazing, and there was a copy of "Analects" upside down on the table, Zhang Xinlan casually took the book and handed it to the maidservant, moved the teapot, and poured a cup of hot tea for Cui Daowu.

Cui Daowu saw that his son was sleeping sweetly in the cradle, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Take the little young master to the side pavilion first, he estimates that he will sleep for a while, go to the kitchen and bring the nurse's tonic soup to let her drink it while it is hot, her milk is not good these days, the little young master is always hungry." Zhang Xinlan told her carefully, full of consideration for her mother's style.

Cui Daowu saw that Zhang Xinlan was both skilled and attentive, and remembered that although Aunt Zhao was gentle and petty, after all, she was from a humble background and illiterate, so she was afraid that the concubine she raised would not be able to get on the stage, so he said: "That's fine, Zhuo'er will stay by your side." After that, he rubbed Zhang Xinlan's face lightly with the back of his hand, full of tenderness.

Zhang Xinlan was both happy and sour, but her face was not obvious, and she said: "Don't worry, husband, I will take good care of Zhuo'er." ”

She thought to herself, 'My sister is blessed, she has a son and a daughter, but she didn't expect that she would have to raise someone else's son like her mother, but she was not afraid, she was still young, and her mother said that raising a child was the first thing to do, maybe she could bring a child. ”

Cui Daowu is a man who only wants a quiet back house, and he also has some affection for Zhang Xinlan, as long as Zhang Xinlan is dedicated to management, the most important woman in Cui Daowu's heart will always be her.

"I heard that your brother's concubine is also pregnant?" The servant girl had just presented a bowl of chicken soup and dragon beard noodles, Cui Daowu hurriedly ate two bites and saw the bottom, and even drank the soup in one breath before putting down the dishes and chopsticks.

"How does the husband know? I listened to my sister when she first came! Zhang Xinlan was really surprised, why was Cui Daowu still ahead of him?

Cui Daowu looked at Zhang Xinlan's beautiful eyebrows, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, the two of them were shoulder-to-shoulder, Zhang Xinlan smelled the faint smell of dust on his body, and couldn't help but have a hot eye.

These days, because of Aunt Zhao's favor, the relationship between the husband and wife has cooled a lot, Cui Daowu is also a hard-necked person, it is rare to be willing to show favor like this today, Zhang Xinlan naturally will not push him away, only bury her face in his neck socket, and sobbed quietly.

Cui Daowu's heart was sour, he touched Zhang Xinlan's sideburns, and said softly: "How can you be like a child?" ”

Zhang Xinlan lightly hammered Cui Daowu's chest, as if she was resentful and attachment.

The two hugged each other quietly for a long time, and Zhang Xinlan gradually calmed down, leaned on Cui Daowu's arms and traced the outline of his jaw with her fingers, and saw that Cui Daowu's expression was wrong, so she said, "Husband, what's wrong with you." When I came back, I looked like I was preoccupied, but I was tired from too many errands under the year? ”

Cui Daowu was originally a lieutenant of the four-grade light car, and he was originally a knighthood, but Cui Daowu couldn't be idle, so he took the position of lieutenant general, and rolled around in the garrison barracks all day long, and he was very busy.

Although he borrowed Shen Baiyan's light, Cui Daowu himself is also a capable person, so his colleagues did not say that he was ascended to the position by virtue of the power of his relatives.

Cui Daowu held Zhang Xinlan's shoulder and said: "I heard a few soldiers living in the capital in the army talking about meat today, one of them said that he met a new secret prostitute in the powder alley, very mysterious, never showed up, when doing things, he had to blindfold the guests, and he didn't charge money, but he had to pick guests. Only men with fair skin, short round eyes, fleshy nose and thick lips are selected. ”

Cui Daowu's words were all here, and he saw Zhang Xinlan tilt her head in confusion, "Why did Xianggong tell me this?" Husband, you are not allowed to go to those dirty places! ”

Cui Daowu was quite speechless, his words had been explicit to this point, but Zhang Xinlan still didn't understand his deep meaning, so she had to sigh silently and said, "Arrange a hot soup bath." ”

A man with short round eyes, a fleshy nose, thick lips, and a fair complexion?

Zhang Xinlan will know that the physiognomy characteristics mentioned by Cui Daowu are all inconsistent with Zhang Xu, but she is full of joy now and does not think about it for a while.

……

Since Song Yan entered the Zhang family as a concubine, she was officially eliminated from the Song family tree, and the two children were erased under the name of the Zheng family.

"Child, is that okay?" Lin received Song Ling's letter today, and remembered this incident in his heart.

"It was your father's idea, so why should you worry? Song Yan and her two siblings have done more ugly things, if we don't do it more decisively, I'm afraid that there will be more drags in the future. "Song Zhi is now in stable condition, and Shen Baiyan can also let her go out of the house to relax.

Lin pinched a fried fruit and fed it to Song Tian little by little, and when he heard this, he approached Song Zhi and asked, "What happened to them?" ”

Song Zhi glanced at Song Tian, and saw that this little little bit took advantage of the Lin family's distraction, and took advantage of the Lin family's distraction, and had already eaten almost half of the fried fruit from her hand, and said with a smile: "Roucui, take the young lady out to play." ”

Seeing that Song Tian had gone out, Song Zhi approached Lin and whispered a few words in her ear.

I saw that Lin's eyes were getting bigger and bigger, and he covered his mouth in surprise, and said, "Really!?" Could there really be such a thing? How do you know. ”

"Your son-in-law's subordinates are all powerful, how can they hide secrets? Besides, Song Yan is not such a cautious and safe person. When Song Zhi first learned about this, he was also surprised, and then thought about Song Yan's situation, if Zhang Xu's body really had a problem, Song Yan would not be surprised to take this move.

Lin's face turned red, and he was only glad that he was not Song Yan's biological mother, otherwise even if he had a thousand-foot-thick face, he would not be able to withstand this layer of cuts.

"Does the Zhang family know about this?" Lin asked hesitantly.

Song Zhi spread his hands to show that he didn't know, "Xu knows, Xu doesn't know, Xu knows and plans to pretend not to know." ”

Lin Shi was dizzy by this long list of words, and only waved his hand and said: "I haven't heard of it, and it won't be good if there is any dirty water involved in us in the future." ”

Song Zhi nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Don't think about that person, let's take a look at my sister-in-law." ”

The mother and daughter walked towards the courtyard where they had meaning, and as soon as they entered the door, they smelled a strong medicinal smell. Lin Shi felt astringent when he smelled this taste, although his daughter and daughter-in-law are always unusual, but these days, seeing Zeng Yunyi have suffered so much to protect the fetus, her attitude towards Zeng Yunyi has also improved much.

"Why did you drink the decoction so early today?" As soon as Lin entered the door and smelled the medicinal gas, he could tell that this medicine was originally used before dinner.

"Mother." Zeng Yunyi was lying on the bed and saw the two of them walk in, "My sister is here too?" ”

Her spirit was not good, but her complexion was not bad, Song Zhi sat down on the edge of her bed, and did not ask her how the fetus looked, but only picked up a few interesting things and told Zeng Yunyi, which caused her to purse her lips and smile.

"My sister also has a body, why does she still come to see me often? Beware of getting tired of yourself. Zeng Yunyi nodded Song Zhi's lower abdomen and said with a smile.

"I'm out of the way." Song Zhi's month is getting heavier, and it will be inconvenient to go out in a few days.

Song Zhi's nose lingered with a touch of jasmine water, jasmine water was originally an elegant taste, this flower water didn't know what was mixed with, but it was a little choked.

"But your little sister-in-law is here?" Song Zhi asked, "No wonder your spirit is not very good." ”

Zeng Yunyi said helplessly: "I knew that I couldn't hide it from you, it was obviously a trivial matter between their men, and she had to come to me." ”

"What's wrong?" Lin said, "Is there a dirt between Ruohui and your brother? ”

"It's just a political difference. It was a common thing in the court, but my sister-in-law looked at this matter bigger than the sky, so I had to persuade the prime minister to bow to my brother. But there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, so how can I speak openly to each other? I thought it sounded funny. ”

"But what about Beijing?" Song Zhi guessed, and was surprised when he saw Zeng Yunyi: "Exactly, sister, do you know?" ”

Song Zhi nodded, "There has been some chaos in Beijing recently, my brother advocates channeling, and my brother of the Zeng family suppresses it. ”
