Chapter 383, Ziyu enters Beijing
Lin Kangping has been helping Zeng Ruixiang tidy up Huishan these days, and planting trees is not in a hurry, but it is not a light thing to clean up the miscellaneous trees and thorns first.
Lin Kangping entered the door and asked, "Mother, I heard my father say that my little sister is also planning to enter Beijing?" ”
Shen Shi smiled when he heard this: "No, your brother-in-law and his mother know that Xiaosi has found a husband for your second brother, so he has to follow to join in the fun, saying that it is a pity that the ready-made light is not borrowed in vain." According to me, you have to rely on yourself to study, your eldest brother and junior, your father taught for a few years, and then there was nothing else except the academy and the academy, and it didn't rely on themselves? ”
Lin Kangping echoed with a smile, Ziqing thought, I'm afraid that the Xia family's plan is not only that, presumably they have entered Beijing, relying on Zixi, to see if they can make friends with any dignitaries and nobles, is it true?
Shen suddenly thought of what Ziqing had just said, and asked Lin Kangping: "Kangping, on the day of Yanran's first birthday, Mrs. Xia said a few things that shouldn't be said, according to your meaning, can Steward Fang be unfavorable to the Xia family?" ”
Ziqing and Lin Kangping discussed this matter, so Lin Kangping replied: "Mother, in my opinion, it shouldn't be, Qing'er explained to him, Mrs. Xia is Ziyu's mother-in-law, since he is willing to give face, come all the way to give Yan'er a congratulatory gift, this thin noodles should be given." Besides, Mrs. Xia is not intentional. ”
Shen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "How can I look at this Mrs. Xia more and more unreliable, I still thought that the Xia family was a family of eunuchs, we are small, and we have climbed high, who knew that it was like this?" It's also too snobbish. The only desirable thing is to be good to your little sister, Xia's son-in-law is also kind and steady, and he also knows how to be strong and motivated, what can he do? No matter how she planned, it was also for her son. After all, it's good for Yu'er, otherwise, I wouldn't be too lazy to deal with her. ”
"Not really. It's right for the mother to think so, she calculates and calculates, which is also beneficial to the little sister, and being idle is also idle, letting her calculate is better than her being free to calculate the little sister. Ziqing persuaded.
Shen Shi smiled when he heard this: "This reminded me, and I turned around and asked Yu'er a few words." Be mindful of everything. ”
"Mrs. Xia's essence is not bad, but she is too shrewd, don't worry, she has only one son, and the Xia family is still relying on us." It's too late to please the little sister, where will it be bad for the little sister? Lin Kangping persuaded.
Seeing that there was nothing more to ask, Shen took his leave and left.
Ziqing thought that even Ziyu was going to enter Beijing, and next year Zeng Ruixiang would also enter Beijing in addition to filial piety, and the tenth ** would also enter Beijing, so Ziqing really had no reason for his family to stay, not to mention, Shurui had not gone back to worship his ancestors.
But. Ziqing was really a little resistant to the capital, Lin Kangping knew what Ziqing was thinking, hugged Ziqing and said, "Don't think too much, even if you enter Beijing, there may not be anything going on." ”
"Well, then. Let's live our own little life behind closed doors, it should be okay, right? ”
"Aren't you just living with your door behind closed all the time? Over the years, I haven't seen how you go out for a walk? By the way, Mrs. Fu also sent a letter to tell you to go and see her more if you have nothing to do. ”
Lin Kangping just went to Fu's house to give a gift, Ziqing didn't expect that Mrs. Fu also gave her family a gift, and it was strange to say it, this Mrs. Fu liked Ziqing since the first time Ziqing came to visit the Fu family for Zixi, and the relationship between the two families has been relatively close, even Ziqing is very puzzled, it seems that the relationship between people is still a little fate.
"Don't you say I forgot, I have to go to Baofeng's house, Yan'er's birthday, she sent a set of children's clothes, put them at the door and left directly."
Baofeng's husband has been working in Kangzhuang a few years ago, his brain is active, and he is willing to contribute, and later not only rebuilt the house, but also bought two acres of paddy fields and sandy land, which can be regarded as having the foundation of settling down. The sand is full of potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are sold directly to the workshops of Kangzhuang. Today's food and clothing are not worried.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Kangping received a letter from Wang Cai, saying that there were some troubles in the business of Yuecheng, and asked Lin Kangping to go over in person.
After Lin Kangping left, Ziqing was uneasy in her heart, but these words were not easy to say to Shen and Zeng Ruixiang, after all, tens of thousands of taels of silver were put into it, and Ziqing was worried that they would be unbearable for a while, and they were just worrying about it in vain.
On this day, Ziqing looked at the account books in the study, mainly the income of this season's wheat harvest and soybeans, broad beans and bamboo shoots, Shen and Ziyu came to find Ziqing, it turned out that Factor Yu was going to enter Beijing, Mrs. Xia wanted to invite Zeng Ruixiang and Shen and Ziqing's family to have a light meal, and everyone gathered.
"Mother, didn't my father say that you can't visit?" Ziqing asked, mainly because Ziqing didn't want to go, so she just moved out of Zeng Ruixiang as an excuse.
"That's what your father meant, pushed, I thought, when your brother-in-law is on vacation, why don't we set up a drink and invite her family." Shen said.
This Ziqing is still acceptable, but Ziyu said on the side: "Mother, I'll go home for a meal, when will it not work?" Where is the wine still served? ”
"How's it going? What's missing? Ziqing asked.
"Sister, don't worry. When I went out this time, my mother-in-law gave us 1,000 taels of silver, which was enough, and I still had 4,000 taels of private house. I didn't have any expenses, and my things were complete, so when I arrived in the capital, I stayed at the fourth brother's house first. ”
Ziqing saw that Ziyu had planned it, so she didn't ask about it anymore, Ziyu was full of joy, thinking about going to the capital, a girl who grew up in the village, the attraction of the capital is still quite big, just like Ziqing's mood when she went out with Lin Kangping for the first time.
Three days later, Ziqing was replying to Zixi on the kang table, Zixi wrote that the Wen family had opened a glass shop in Hangzhou, and the goods they wanted had increased a lot.
Ziqing was writing back to tell Zixi that Lin Kangping had something to do with going to Yuecheng, and Xiaofen came in and said that Shen, Ziyu and Mrs. Xia were here.
It turned out that after Ziyu went back, he told Mrs. Xia what Zeng Ruixiang meant, and Mrs. Xia was a little disappointed when she heard it, and after thinking about it, she still took Ziyu to the door.
Ziqing hurriedly went out to greet her, Xiaobai had already brought people to the hall for tea, and Mrs. Xia said: "Ziqing, it's really not easy to invite you to a meal. ”
"Mrs. Xia is polite, I originally wanted to go in the first month, who knew that my eldest brother and they left in such a hurry, and when they have a chance in the future, they are so close, there will always be time." Ziqing said with a smile.
"I think so too, I heard Ziyu say what your father meant, but I was negligent, in the future, when Ziyu is gone, only I am left with an old wife at home, and I am bored, but I have to come to my in-laws often to talk and laugh with Ziqing, and when the time comes, you are not allowed to pick me up." Mrs. Xia smiled.
"How can you ask for it? Qing'er is the only one left by my side, and it is difficult to find someone to talk to. Shen sighed.
Mrs. Xia smiled when she heard this: "It's better to make an appointment with Mrs. Fu in the future, the four of us, we can also have a table of mahjong, are you okay?" ”
Ziqing smiled when she heard this: "I'm just afraid that Mrs. Fu will not be idle, I heard that the eldest son of her family is also going to say goodbye, right?" ”
"Oh, which lady? Are you sure? Mrs. Xia asked busily.
Ziqing shook her head, she also went to Fu's house, and when she heard Mrs. Fu say this, she said that the child is of age, how can Ziqing inquire about this?
"Hey, it's not a matter of one or two days, you have to look at each other, she can still squeeze out this time." Mrs. Xia listened and said.
Ziqing saw that Mrs. Xia had no intention of leaving, and thought about it, Hengzhu wanted to keep food, so it was better to save some things for the Shen family, simply leave food in Qingyuan, and send Xiaobai to talk to Zeng Ruixiang.
"Oh, how embarrassing is this, I came to invite guests, sparing the guests and not inviting them, and I have to bother you to have a meal, but it seems that I am not here for a treat, but for a meal, and it is a joke to say it." Mrs. Xia smiled.
"It's just a light meal." Ziqing replied.
At this time, Shen asked casually: "Hasn't Kangping written yet?" Why did you get out? Didn't you say that you bought a boat and a shop over there, and you won't need him to run away in the future? It's only been a few days since you've been back ”
"Not yet? It shouldn't be a big deal, don't worry. Ziqing didn't want to mention this.
Sure enough, Mrs. Xia listened and asked, "Ziqing, did your family buy a boat?" Tsk, I really didn't know that your father-in-law was so capable. I don't look old, compared to my eldest son-in-law, I am still a year or two younger, this, I have earned this piece of furniture, my family is good, or keep some ancestral property to live. ”
"This can't be compared, hasn't Mrs. Xia heard a word? The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and we are also forced out. Ziqing said with a smile.
"That's not it, there's no comparison. Your child has been a rich and noble person since he was a child. Shen said.
As he was talking, Zeng Ruixiang came over. These days, while the summer harvest has not yet begun, he is looking for someone from the village to cover the courtyard wall of Huishan Academy.
After the meal, Mrs. Xia took Ziyu back to Anzhou. Shen took Ziqing to look in the warehouse for a long time, wanting to check some clothes to make a few children's clothes, and asked Ziyu to bring them to Liu and Fu.
Xia Ganyong is on holiday on the fifth day of June, and on the sixth day of June, it is the Clothes Festival, Ziqing and Shen are busy for a day, on the seventh day of June, they invited Ziyu's family of three to practice, and on the eighth day of June, Ziyu's family of three brought their mother-in-law and maid into Beijing. Because of the heat, it was also a waterway for hired boats.
Ziqing and Shen personally sent it to Linjiang Wharf, and it was not until the boat disappeared that Shen reluctantly turned back. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
