As soon as it comes to Layue, Shen and Ziqing are busy, Ziqing is even more, although Kangzhuang has a steward and an account room, but Ziqing still has to look at the accounts of the year, and there are more and more people in the family, and it is the monthly money and the new clothes for the New Year, even if Ziqing does not have to do it now, it is still necessary to prepare it. [~]

Therefore, as soon as Ziqing's confinement was over, she began to have something to do, but it happened that the old Zhou Xiang of Kangzhuang fell in love with Mrs. Huang in the stove room, and the two became a family, Ziqing asked Mrs. Zhao in the needlework room, and wanted to make another pair, but unfortunately she did not have the will to do so. This is the first time Kangzhuang has held a happy event, and no matter how simple Ziqing is, he has been busy for a few days.

Next is Zishou and Zixi both returned home, this year Zifu sent a letter saying that he would not be able to go home until the New Year, because officials from all over the country returned to Beijing at the end of the year, and they were waiting for the transfer of uniforms, and Zifu was also waiting for the dispatch of officials, and he took office directly after the year.

Zeng Ruixiang and Shen just received the letter, they couldn't help crying with joy, from the former poor family to today's small wealth, the two walked all the way together, and they knew that they were not outsiders.

The officials around Zifu began to guess that it was impossible for Zifu to stay in Beijing where Zifu could be distributed, but the Shen family didn't want his son to be too far away from him, and it would take a year to see each other then.

"Fu'er is still young, a good man has ambitions in all directions, besides, this matter has its own ruling, let's do our part." Zeng Ruixiang said.

"That being said, there is a father and mother who don't care about their children, if they go to a place where birds don't, how can they live this life? You said that you are looking forward to being an official if you are not an official, but when it comes to this point, I have no bottom in my heart. I'm afraid that I will get a bad place, so it can be seen that people are insatiable. Shen also laughed after speaking, laughing at himself.

"Mother, don't worry. No matter how hard the eldest brother is, he is also a Qipinzhi County, which is not much better than the common people. Maybe the eldest brother can really do something practical for the local people, such as reclaiming wasteland like Qing'er, and now he also looks like it. [~]" Zilu said.

"But no, if the eldest brother wants to do this, maybe he can still benefit the people? This is a good thing, the poorer the place, the more obvious the change and contrast. Zishou also said.

"Hey. Speaking of which, brother-in-law, I would like to ask, you and my sister are planning to settle here, why are you still buying property in the capital? How inconvenient? Could it be that you plan to go back in the future? But you have also bought a lot of property here. I really don't understand what you mean? Zixi asked.

Shen Shi also asked after hearing this: "No, Xiao Si didn't say that I forgot, didn't Kang Ping rush back because he was busy with some Zhuangzi workshop in the capital?" I wanted to ask you if you were here for a few days, and I forgot about it when I got there. ”

After Shen finished speaking, everyone also looked at Ziqing and Lin Kangping, Ziqing looked at Lin Kangping, and said: "Kangping promised to accompany me to be a rich man in this countryside, but now that I have two sons, I have to plan for the children." In the future, they will go back if they want to, the roots of the Hengzhu Lin family are near the capital, and it is difficult to guarantee that Xiaosi will not stay in the capital in the future, and there will still be a mutual care. ”

"You're thinking too far ahead, and you're almost frightening me, thinking you're tired of the country. I'm going back to Beijing. Shen said.

"How can it? Didn't I say that I want to accompany my father and mother. Ziqing smiled and hugged Shen's arm.

Since the fifteenth, Zeng Ruifa began to call everyone to eat, saying that it was the people in the kitchen to try the stove, this is the local custom, when Zeng Ruixiang's family did good things in the past, it was the same, these relatives and friends are the whole family, and they can also set up five or six tables, and they are all eaten for nothing, if they don't go, they don't give face, and the host's face is gloomy. Of course, there are basically no masters like Yan Renda.

Shen Shi smiled when he heard this: "It's trouble-free, the family can not open a group for two days, and I will be loose and loose for two days." By the way, Qing'er, how can I spend my eldest grandson's birthday? According to me, when I come back in the evening, I will make a bowl of longevity noodles for my children? ”

Ziqing didn't want to go, a bunch of strange women, and they couldn't eat anything, Ziqing couldn't really take a bowl to share some food, but one Zeng Ruixiang was not only Uncle Zijun, but also his enlightenment Mr. Zijun can have today, all thanks to Zeng Ruixiang, and second, Ziqing's own side and the sons of the third mother-in-law are also relatively close, therefore, this face still has to be given, otherwise, Ziqing and Lin Kangping will not be good people in the future. [~]

"Just according to what my mother said. I won't take the child with me. Rui'er can't eat well by herself, so she won't be able to use chopsticks. ”

"That's right, Ziqing, we don't have to follow the ceremony when the Zijun gets married, you have to go according to the aunt and grandmother of the Zeng family, that is, the daughter who marries out, you have to follow a gift, if you go according to the villagers of Dongtang, you don't have to follow the ceremony, and you have to prepare a worship money." Zeng Ruixiang suddenly reminded Ziqing.

"Let's go according to my aunt and grandmother, and everyone has helped us a lot, so don't break the rules." Lin Kangping said with a smile.

"Don't be too high, we will prepare a silver hairpin for the salute, and we will not go with your aunt and them, you will look at the reduction. It's better to give money and worship money with one or two silver, which can be taken and won't be too eye-catching. Shen said.

In the courtyard of the third mother-in-law's house, I met the old man and Tian, Zhou and Zeng Ruiqing, Zhou stepped forward and said to Zeng Ruixiang's family with a smile: "Second brother, my father and mother said, I won't go back to school before the year, and the year will be in my house. Also, it's your turn to eat at your house on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, and we don't mix with my aunt and grandmother. ”

Tian glared at Zhou when he heard this, frowned, but didn't say anything, after all, there were still a lot of outsiders.

Ziqing is still a little puzzled, which one is this singing? The Tian family actually recognized that Zeng Ruixiang's New Year's gift could be taken to the Zhou family's side, this doesn't mean that the Zhou family can control these things, when will the two get better again? Ziqing remembered that time when the two of them joined hands to borrow silver, they opened their mouths to be one hundred taels, of course, in the end, no one lent them anything. It can only be said that what agreement has been reached between the two.

Zeng Ruixiang glanced at Zhou and said, "Sister-in-law, I will talk to my eldest brother, there are not many people, just Xia Yu and Qiu Yu, they are still together." ”

Zeng Ruiqing meant to be close to Zifu, Zeng Ruixiang meant that there was no Chunyu family left and right, so why bother to make the Shen family tired for another day.

Zhou shook the veil when he heard it, and dropped the sentence: "This is what your brother meant." ”

Zeng Ruixiang said hello to Tian, then sat aside with the old man to talk, looking for Shen and talking to a few concubines, Ziqing and Chen found a place, and whispered: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year next year, I'm afraid that there will be another trouble, when the time comes, my grandmother and they are coming to our house, and my aunt's children have nowhere to go, so they have to be thrown out when they come to our house." ”

"Then, it's better for our family to invite them in the first year of junior high school, and whoever they fall in love with in the second year of junior high school will go to whomever house, and the horizontal and vertical have nothing to do with our family." Chan said.

"Forget it, let's talk to my dad when I go back, and see my father's arrangement."

Two days later, Ziqing was mentioning this matter to Shen, and Shen thought about it and said, "I want to see if your father can harden his heart to get rid of people, and he will always pass this level." ”

"No, I'll borrow a few people to my mother, when Qing'er gave birth to Shuyan, her aunt also came, and the porter sent her away directly, and then told me." Lin Kangping said.

Ziqing looked at Lin Kangping and asked, "Why didn't I know about this?" When did it come? ”

"It's not a good thing, I'm also too busy and confused, so I forgot, it's the second or third day when my sister-in-law comes."

The three of them were talking, Zixi and Zishou led Zhou Tianqing over, Zhou Tianqing carried a bamboo basket in his hand, and a cloth bag, and when he saw Shen, he said first: "Second sister-in-law, I came to give a New Year's gift to my father-in-law, and I came to see you." Nothing good, and that's a little bit of a thing for us. ”

After speaking, he put down the basket, gave the cloth bag to Ziqing, and said: "Your second aunt knows that you have given birth to a child, but she thought that she was going to run this trip at the end of the year, so she didn't come to see you early, this is the little clothes she made for your child." ”

Ziqing opened it and saw that it was still a bright red dark pattern Fu character silk cotton jacket, and there was a small silver lock, and she hurriedly thanked her.

Ziqing Zhang Luo left for dinner, and Zhou Tianqing said that he wanted to rush back, "Second aunt, if you don't entertain guests in the first month of next year, it is better to come and live for a few days after the New Year, and when Zi'er gets married, I am afraid that my aunt will not be idle." ”

"That's not what you mean, your second aunt also means this, your sister-in-law's house is now spacious, and anyone can live for a few days." Zhou Tianqing said happily.

Because Zhou Tianqing insisted on going back to Zeng Ruiqing for dinner, saying that it should be so, Ziqing didn't understand, but he just ordered Lin Xing and Lin Fu to send him a trip, mainly because he was afraid that Lin Xing would not find his way back.

Zifu's family entered the house on the evening of the New Year, Zixi came to inform Ziqing, Ziqing hurriedly rushed over with Lin Kangping, I haven't seen him for a year, I feel that Zifu is more mature and stable again, Ziqing's tears fell like this, Zifu didn't say anything, came over and hugged Ziqing, and said: "Qing'er, don't cry, big brother misses you too, in the future, big brother will be close to you, you can come over at any time if you want to see big brother." ”

Ziqing hurriedly raised her head and asked, "Really, where is the eldest brother?" ”

"Sister, guess what, it's close." Zixi said with a smile on the side.

"Isn't it Anzhou?"

"Sister, you are so stupid, Anzhou is the prefect, and the eldest brother will have to wait a few years." Zishou said with a smile.

"Okay, big brother tells you that it is Hualien County, which is subordinate to Changzhou, and you can come back in one day."

"That's a good thing, congratulations, big brother. Mother has been worried about what birds don't when you go to, this Hualien should be richer than ours here, but it is under Changzhou, or a large plain, although it is not as good as Jiangnan, it is barely the land of fish and rice. Lin Kangping said.

"Are you familiar with it?" Zifu asked, a little strange. (This site: Your support is my biggest motivation. )
