The first time Mrs. Xia came to the door, she didn't stay for dinner, so naturally it was impossible to mention Ziyu's family affairs, but she invited Shen to bring a female family to her house as a guest, Shen smiled: "I have a chance in the future, my second daughter-in-law's child is only two months old, and my family Ziqing is also inconvenient, so I won't come to bother." [~] It's the first time Mrs. Xia has come, and she refuses to stay for a light meal, dare to love or dislike that our farmhouse food is rough and can't get into Mrs. Xia's eyes? ”

"Mrs. Zeng wants to say this, but it really hurts me, this time I took the liberty to visit, there are many inconveniences in a hurry, my lord will take office tomorrow, and the family affairs are complicated. Next time, I will definitely stay to try Mrs. Zeng's craftsmanship, and then I will ask Mrs. Zeng not to be bothered by me. Mrs. Xia got up as she spoke.

Out of the door of the hall, Zilu and a few people also heard the movement, and they all walked out, Xia Ganyong saw Mrs. Xia's satisfied smile, and couldn't help but glance at Ziyu, Ziqing pretended to cough, Ziyu asked, "Sister, you have a cold." ”

"No, I just saw a big goose with a stupid head, and I wanted to laugh when I thought about it, and I accidentally choked it."

Xia Ganyong listened to Ziqing's words, and when he saw Ziqing looking at him with a smile, his heart was flustered, and his face turned red.

Seeing off the guests, Lin Kangping took Ziqing home and asked: "What the hell are you doing, I look at the son of the Xia family is okay, honest and duty, but not pedantic, it should be a good match for the little sister, it's just that the wife of the Xia family is a person, I'm afraid that some people have low eyes and skills, and they may not be able to look down on us." ”

"What can we do if we don't see it, let's live our own little life, what does it have to do with her? We don't point to others. Ziqing doesn't care much about this, she pursues advantages and avoids disadvantages, praising the high and stepping on the low, the world doesn't come over like this, how many people dare to say that they are not snobbish?

Ziqing's life is not bad now, she doesn't have so much ambition, and she doesn't want to be the richest man. Little by little, accumulate your wealth and enjoy yourself.

On the nineteenth day of the first month, Zishou and Zixi went to school, and Shen Baofu and Shen Xinfu also returned to Kangzhuang. The men of the Baofeng family also took the initiative to ask to clean up the silt in the swamp, and half of the wasteland next to the swamp was opened, and the first ten acres were also planted with small peas, and the later ones were ready to plant corn and edamame in the spring.

Lin Kangping thought about it for a long time, but still discussed it with Ziqing. There are still fewer people in Kangzhuang, "There are two nineteens this year, who can get married, and there are two sixteen or seventeen people at the bottom, so it's better to buy a few girls." ”

"You say this, the family will also buy two more, Xiaoqing Xiaolan can only stay for two years, buy two seven or eight years old to be trained. Two years later, Xiaofen Xiaolu is also thirteen or fourteen, and it can be used. ”

"Xiaoqing Xiaolan is more comfortable. It doesn't hurt to stay for an extra year, whose maid is willing to let go out early to marry someone after training? Generally, they are kept until eighteen, and some masters are harsh until twenty, so let's wait for eighteen to marry them. ”

"Okay, then let Lin An and Lin Fu wait for two more years, and you go and tell them."

"The two of them are not in a hurry, but Wang Cai and Wang Xi, it is time to start a family this year, and see if there is a suitable candidate in the Zhuangzi in the capital. In the future, they will take care of the affairs of the capital with peace of mind. The matter of running errands and delivering accounts is still handed over to Ah Tu and Ah Shui. ”

"It's better to let them go and see each other by themselves, let's not force one, they don't dare to squeak if they are not sweet, life is not good, we still have to complain. It's a thankless thing to worry about, and let them do it themselves. ”

Lin Kangping listened to Ziqing's little face and smiled: "Who has a grandmother like you." What a blessing. ”

Lin Kangping didn't have time to go out to Anzhou, Master Fu from Anzhou sent someone to send a post, asking Lin Kangping to go, Ziqing knew that it was for the Lantern Festival to save people, so many days have passed, and I thought people didn't take it to heart. However, Lin Kangping didn't do it for anything.

Lin Kangping took Lin An and Lin Fu to go together, Ziqing was bored staying at home, and took the two children back to her parents' house, Shuyan walked quite safely, Shurui took him to find Yongsong Yongbai, and Xiaofen followed. Xiao Lu looked more secure than Xiao Fan, and Ziqing asked her to follow Xiao Lan and learn how to take care of the house.

As soon as Ziqing entered the door, she saw Shen smiling and groaning, and hurriedly asked what the happy event was, "I'm afraid that the third daughter-in-law will have it, and I saw her vomit when I got up early to eat." [.] This will ask her what she wants to eat, saying that she only wants to eat sour and refreshing things, and there will be no mandarin oranges left at home, and I want to send someone to ask you if there is anything left? ”

"Yes, there are still ones, but I'm afraid it may not be delicious, but my family does have sour and hot radishes pickled by Huang Pozi in the village, which are sour, spicy and crispy, which should be able to satisfy her appetite." After Ziqing finished speaking, she told Xiaoqing to go back and get it.

As he was talking, Mrs. Shi came back, and Shen asked, "Come back so early today, everything over there has been done?" ”

"No, madam, the old lady said that I should go over to help my aunt's family do things for two days, saying that the son of my aunt's family got married, I think I have to talk to my wife about this, I can't be the master alone."

Ziqing and Shen thought about it, today is not the sixth day of the second month, and this day flies really fast.

"You go back and tell the old lady that Zishou's daughter-in-law is pregnant, Zilu's daughter-in-law has a small child, and she can't help, I can't do it alone, and I have to leave you to do it." They're leaving, so you come over here. Shen said to Mrs. Shi.

Mrs. Shi agreed and went out.

"Mother, why don't you buy someone to make it, the little sister is not young, the family who will come to the family will definitely not be wrong, enter the door of the husband's house, at least bring a portable maid, and let her do less laundry, you haven't seen the Wanqing of the sister-in-law's family, the sister-in-law has never let the child do farm work, and a pair of small hands are well maintained."

"Where can I marry into a good family and be a young grandmother? Back then, your grandmother didn't train your aunts like this, but who do you see marrying into the high gate? Isn't your aunt the best example? When your sister-in-law lived with her mother-in-law in the first few years, she didn't welcome anyone, and she only knew a little about things in the past few years, besides, it's not too late to wait for Yu'er to get married. ”

"Then the Xia family, what does my mother think?" Ziqing saw that Ziyu was not around, so she hurriedly asked.

"People may not have this meaning, we can't catch up, the girl will speak first, and it will be worthless. If you want to say that she has only one son in her family, it's not good. I'm afraid that in the future, like your sister-in-law, I won't be able to give birth to a son, and I will give birth to three girls in a row, and the man will marry a child, what should our family do? The biggest obstacle in Shen's heart is that he is worried that his daughter will not be able to give birth to a son in the future, and the pressure is too great. However, the benefits are also obvious, at least there is no contradiction between the concubines, and there is no need to be angry with the sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is married after all, and mothers and daughters like Tian and Chunyu can't find a few after all. Over the years, the Shen family has suffered greatly, so it is easier for someone who is willing to marry Ziyu to marry.

"That's the same, our rain is not bad." If it can be two years late, it is estimated that Zixi can also be a jinshi, and by then, he will have more capital.

As he was talking, Yang came over, and the people who had a happy event were different, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all smiling. Not to mention, I've really gained a lot of weight these days, unlike the clothes I wore when I first came and felt empty, Ziqing was a little worried about her, so thin, can the child be born?

"Looking at the appearance of the third brother and sister, I like children so much, I must be a good mother in the future." Ziqing said with a smile.

"What about my sister laughing? Isn't my sister a good mother? ”

"Who dares to say that my sister is not a good mother, I won't do it? Looking at my sister's house, for the sake of the child, my sister has hollowed out her mind, and even we have borrowed it all. Chen stepped in and heard Yang's words and smiled.

"Come, look at our baby Xuan, it's really getting more and more beautiful, and it's really a bit like Yongrong."

"You are praising yourself, they all say that nieces are like aunts, and Yongrong is also more like you." Chen looked at Ziqing and smiled.

"What's wrong with being like me? In the words of my eldest brother and second brother, 'Whose sister is so smart and beautiful?' Ziqing also joked with a smile.

was making trouble, Xiaoqing came back with his things, and said, "Grandma, my grandfather is back, and I said that I will come to pick you up when he is washed." ”

"Go home, don't wait for someone to pick you up. No wonder my sister-in-law often says that my sister is blessed, I have never seen my brother-in-law so clingy, and I can't leave it for a while. Chen laughed and joked to Ziqing.

"Second sister-in-law, if you don't worry about my second brother, why do you go to the city, just to cook a meal for my second brother, and you may not be able to come back to eat?" Ziqing made a strange face at Chen, and successfully saw Chen's face blushing.

After Ziqing finished speaking, she pulled her skirt with a smile and trotted out of the door, causing Xiaoqing to shout from behind, "Grandma, if you fall carefully, you can't even skin me alive." ”

As soon as he turned to the small door, Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and asked in a deep voice, "What are you running?" How old are you and not careful? What if you fall and make a mistake? ”

Ziqing didn't expect to catch it, and hurriedly shook Lin Kangping's hand and asked, "What is Master Fu looking for you?" ”

"Interrupted again? I ask you, will you still run in the future? ”

Xiaoqing also rushed over at this time, bowed his head and stood aside, not daring to speak.

"Don't run, really don't run, no, it's only been three months, I always forget, in the future, you remind me."

"Next time I run, I catch it, and I'll hit Xiaoqing's top ten boards, do you look at it?"

Xiaoqing looked at Ziqing with great resentment, Ziqing laughed, waved her hand at Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing turned around to pick up the child.

The two returned to the inner room, Lin Kangping took Ziqing's hand and sat down, and said, "Master Fu came to me today, and the first thing was to commend me for my meritorious service in saving people that day, and awarded us twenty taels of silver." ”

"It's only twenty taels of silver, so stingy?"

"How much do you think you can win, twenty taels is enough for ordinary people to live for a year or two, and your eldest brother's annual salary is only forty or fifty taels of silver."

"Ah, that's how much it's like being an official? And what about the second thing? "Ziqing doesn't know others, but He Shen does, it's called a rich country. It seems that the hidden income of officials has always been high, pointing to Yulu, how many people can keep the poverty? (To be continued.)
