Chapter 352, National Mourning
Ziqing didn't understand who was fighting with whom, but, children, how could there be no fight? Because there is only a girl in the family, they all like to play with Yanran, and the children of more than four months can make all kinds of expressions, but Shurui Shuyan is a full sister control, and it is easy not to let those two people get involved, and they are not less awkward. Ziqing asked as she walked, and finally figured it out, Xiao Yi put a Yingluo on Yanran, and Wen Xingyu and Shurui stopped doing it, so they started fighting.
When Ziqing passed, she heard Wen Xingyu shouting loudly: "Why, she is my daughter-in-law, and my father let me take care of it." ”
"Nonsense, that's my sister, my sister is only so young, and when my sister grows up, you will be old. My sister doesn't marry an old man. "That's what Shuhiko said.
"That's it, you're so old, Sister Yanran won't like it." Xiao Yi hurriedly agreed.
"You can't do the same, take it off quickly, my sister is not rare, my sister is still young, she can't wear these things. Otherwise, I'm going to beat you up. Shurui said.
"If I don't take it, I'll beat it, who is afraid of whom?" Xiao Yi puffed up his chest and shouted.
"If you don't take it, I'll take it, why should my daughter-in-law take what you send." Wen Xingyu was about to make a move as he spoke, and Xiao Yi stepped forward to twist with him.
Ziqing came up angrily when she heard this, pushed the door in, and shouted: "Don't say anything, pack up your things and leave, I won't keep you at home, such a big little child, I know that my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law don't leave her mouth, who did you learn from?" I want to find my daughter-in-law and go home to find it, but I don't have it at home. ”
Wen Xingyu saw that Ziqing was angry and said, "Auntie, this matter is Xiao Yi's fault. Don't be angry with us, my father said that he will come to pick us up when the time comes, and don't go home if no one comes to pick us up. ”
"Auntie. Then I'll take it off and keep it for my sister, okay? I don't mean anything else. It's a meeting gift, and besides, my aunt treats Xiao Yi so well, and she also prepares several clothes for Xiao Yi. Can't I give my sister a greeting gift? My younger siblings in the family have these things, and I just think they look good and give them to my sister. Auntie, don't be angry. ”
Only then did Ziqing think of bending down to look at the Yingluo on Yanran's chest, the delicate gold collar, and the chest was a piece of fine mutton fat jade. The colorful veil is put on, and there are gemstone pendants around it, and it is rare that the collar is actually retractable, that is, it can be worn when it grows up, and Ziqing wants to take it off for the child. Who knew that this little girl grabbed it and didn't let go, maybe she liked the shiny thing, Ziqing wanted to take it forcibly, and the child actually cried.
"Look, I'll just say that my sister likes it, auntie, just keep it for my sister." Xiao Yi said happily.
"I'll take it when my sister falls asleep, this gift is too expensive, my sister can't ask for it." Besides, my sister is still young, and she is not suitable to wear such a heavy thing, which will bend her neck. Also, your father has already sent a lot of things here, and you children can't eat much and don't use much. My aunt was already embarrassed. ”
Ziqing still returned Yingluo to Xiao Yi in the end, Xiao Yi pursed her lips, unhappy, but didn't say anything more.
Ziqing asked the two of them: "A daughter-in-law is not allowed to scream, you are still young, do you know what a daughter-in-law means?" ”
The two glanced at each other, shook their heads, and Wen Xingyu said: "Dad said, my daughter-in-law is my dearest person, and I must take good care of her." ”
Xiao Yi is still young, and I don't know anymore, but I just feel that this sister likes it very much, she should have won Ziqing first, and then she won Yanran, right?
Ziqing was secretly amused in her heart, and quickly put this matter down. The child's forgetfulness is still big, and soon they play again, the watt tower by the pond is also stacked more than one person high, and the Zilu family is also back, Yongsong Yongbai entered the door, said hello to Shen and Zeng Ruixiang, pulled Yongzhang, and ran to Qingyuan as soon as he slipped away.
Ziqing saw the two of them, only to know that Zilu's family had returned, and just wanted to go over to see Chen, Chen and Yang came together, Yang smiled first: "Sister, the second sister-in-law is happy, my sister really wants to prepare a meeting gift." ”
"No, second sister-in-law, are you really worried about it?" Ziqing smiled, but she was really happy for Chen.
The three of them sat and laughed for a while, and Ziqing said, "Why don't we go to the island and watch them build a tower." It's all a few kids doing it, and it's pretty powerful. ”
"Really? You'll have to see. ”
The three of them went out, only to see from a distance watching these children dressed around and busy, Shu Rui and Yongsong and Wen Xingyu are responsible for building tiles, the following layer of bricks has been built, there is more than half a meter high, and the remaining few small ones are responsible for helping to pass the tiles, all of them have excited expressions on their faces, Shuyu saw Ziqing coming over, jumped to Ziqing, and said: "Mother, second uncle, third uncle, come and see, our tower is going to be built." ”
Ziqing bent down and touched Shuyu's face and praised a few words, the child jumped back again, Ziqing saw Xiaoyi watching Ziqing caress Shuyu with envy, so she walked up to him with a smile, touched his head, touched his face, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, the child's eyes bloomed with joy, Ziqing hugged the child and praised: "Our Xiaoyi is really good-looking." ”
Wen Xingyu was a little surprised when he saw it on the side, so he hurriedly squeezed over and looked at Ziqing with some grievances. When Ziqing saw his expression, just like Wen San back then, she was busy smiling, touching his head and face, and praising him, and the child was busy with a smile.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ziqing invited Zeng Ruixiang and Shen, Zilu's family, as well as Yang and two children to come over to admire the moon and burn the tower, and Zishou went out to take the exam. Ziqing prepared tables, chairs, offerings, and food at the Wenxiang Pavilion.
When the moon rose, Shu Rui and Yongsong set the tower on fire, Ziqing took the children to sing and dance by the burning tower, took them to play eagles and catch chickens, and even the youngest Shuwei staggered to join, Ziqing's family has six children, three Zilu's family, and one Zishou's family, a total of ten children, the scene is still quite spectacular.
Time seems to go back to the first Mid-Autumn Festival when Ziqing first came, a group of people were playing around the fire tower by the pond, there were Zifu Zilu and them, as well as Xiushui, Xiuying, and Ziping.
When Xiao Yi first came, he was still a little unable to let go, looking like a primary school, and he still looked like a child under the abduction of several children for more than a month. Ziqing also wanted to give a few children a happy childhood memory, so she was so attentive and taught the children to sing the two children's songs "Catching Loaches" and "Reading Lang", which were simple, straightforward, and catchy, which Ziqing often sang when she was young.
Later, when I was tired of playing eagle and catching chickens, I began to play with the handkerchief, who I caught, and memorized a poem about the moon. It can be regarded as holding a unique Yinyue poetry recital for them, and they dispersed happily.
Even Zeng Ruixiang said that it has not been so lively for a long time, looking at these children, what troubles can't be dissipated? Shen said with a smile, he didn't expect Ziqing to be so noisy.
A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Kangping came back and said that something seemed to be going on outside, and there was tension everywhere in Anzhou City, Ziqing thought about it and said, "Then let's try not to enter the city, be careful for a while." Anyway, the sky is falling, and there is a tall one on top. Let's try to stay away from right and wrong. ”
Two days later, the village was holding a gong to inform the emperor that the emperor had died, and the people banned all entertainment activities such as marriage, building houses, fireworks and firecrackers, and it would be 99 days later. There is also a white cloth to be hung at the door of each household, and it must be taken down after a hundred days.
Others are nothing, but Xiao Yi was very abnormal after hearing the news, pursed his lips and was silent, there was a huge sadness in the silence, and there was an inexplicable worry in the sadness, which was not at all like what a child of this age showed, Ziqing didn't want to inquire much, but just discussed it with Lin Kangping. Lin Kangping couldn't say anything, so Ziqing had to let the children spend more time with him during this time.
However, Ziqing was still a little puzzled in her heart, so she found the clothes sent by Xiao Yi's family, especially the two gorgeous gold and silver brocades, and asked Lin Kangping how much silver a piece of cloth like this would cost.
"These two pieces of cloth, one and two zhang, cost at least more than 100 taels of silver, and the average person who buys them is worn by the families of dignitaries. I saw the old lady and lady of the Wen family and other masters passing through. The fabric of this box, to say the least, is worth two or three hundred taels of silver, but it is saved for our family. ”
Ziqing said with a smile: "It's more expensive than the material I got married, and we don't lose money by raising a child for more than a month, but this child has been too silent these days, so I still want to think of some way to coax him to be happy." ”
However, Ziqing still has doubts in her heart, she feels that the child's father should be the person Lin Kangping saved, and it should be related to the royal family, but there is no reason why a royal descendant would run to this countryside, right?
Five or six days have passed since this incident, and when Ziqing saw that Xiao Yi still had that expression, and was worried about how to relieve him, Wen San personally brought someone to pick up the two children, as if the matter was in a hurry, and he was about to leave after packing up his things, Ziqing didn't stay or think about it. I think I can finally get rid of the burden and be brisker.
After the children left, when they were packing up the things in the house, Ziqing found Yingluo left by Xiao Yi, and there was a letter, "Auntie, Yingluo is for Yanran's sister, please keep it for my sister." Thank you, Auntie, this time in Qingyuan was the most alive time for me, and I will always remember it. ”
The letter was written in the vernacular, Ziqing was sad when she saw it, and sighed that this kid was too heavy-minded. Ziqing took away all the clothes he had made.
The children left, naturally took Mr. away, Ziqing and Lin Kangping discussed, or to ask a gentleman to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to several children in his own family, I didn't think of this problem before, but now I think of it, naturally I want to make up for it, I heard that several girls from Zifu's family have already gone to school. Lin Kangping has no opinion, he has the conditions, and naturally wants to give the best to the child.
So, Ziqing entrusted Zilu and found one from Anzhou City, surnamed Liang, who used to teach in Bailu Academy, but now he is a little older, and he can't teach so many children, in addition to binding his belly for twenty taels a year, only teaching two hours a day, and also putting forward a condition, to take his wife, they themselves have a mother-in-law who serves all the year round, and arrange their own food and clothing.
Ziqing agreed, and arranged to go to the bamboo garden, where there is a separate small stove, whatever you want to eat, there are all in the garden, Mr. and Mrs. Liang are very satisfied with this, and after looking around, they settled down.
