Capital.

Historically, every inch of land has been valuable.

An inconspicuous alley, but a large number of officials live. These houses were built by the imperial court and rented to low- and middle-level officials with lower incomes.

But because there are many monks and few porridges, if you want to apply, you have to rely on some luck and relationships. Otherwise, there are many people who rent to the outskirts of the city and ride donkeys back and forth every day.

Therefore, in this place where there are many powerful people like dogs, as the wife of a seven-rank petty official, the Shen family has no dissatisfaction with the fact that his family is only allocated a small courtyard the size of a palm.

Instead, it took a lot of thought to take out the snail shell to make the dojo, and set up a row of flower stands in the front yard that was only seven or eight steps.

If it is cold today, the flower pots have been received in the firewood room. On the shelves, roe deer and bacon are neatly dried, as well as hazelnuts and pine nuts sent from my hometown, and I look at it with a bit of rich beauty.

But Shen took his mother-in-law with him, but he was worrying with his fingers.

Her husband told her last night that he had a few good colleagues who would invite him to his house for a meal this year.

But seeing that the New Year is approaching, I said at this time how expensive the dishes are outside. And many of them were booked, and I couldn't even buy a live fish.

But if you order a banquet from outside, it will inevitably seem insincere and difficult.

Bang bang.

There was a knock on the door.

Shen hurriedly hid in the back room before the mother-in-law went to open the door. I saw an elegant gentleman, smiling and standing in front of the door.

I don't know.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"This is the head of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Ruitang's mansion?"

"Exactly. But you-"

The gentleman smiled slightly, and the people around him directly carried it into the two large baskets.

"Go back and tell you adults, this is sent by Miss Lin from the Han Palace, and he will know. We have other things to send, so we won't bother. ”

After the gentleman finished speaking, he turned and left.

The mother-in-law closed the door, and Shen came out to take a look, shocked.

Of the two baskets, one was the fresh vegetables she desperately needed.

There are fish and shrimp in it, winter bamboo shoots and fresh mushrooms, and even a few handfuls of rare greens, which are estimated to be hot spring goods grown by rich and noble families.

In the other basket, there are also delicate snacks that she urgently needs.

The variety is complex, the fragrance is sweet, and the hospitality is excellent.

But in such a noble place as the Han Palace, I have never heard my husband talk about it?

And Miss Lin, who is it?

Shen didn't dare to use it, so he still put it away.

It was easy to survive until it was dark, and the husband returned late.

His face was frozen blue, and his nose was still dripping, but his face was beaming.

"Madame, I'll tell you—"

"Listen to me first!"

Shen interrupted in a hurry and led him to see things first, "It was said that it was sent by Miss Lin from the Han Palace, who is that?" ”

Lord Wang was obviously stunned.

After waiting for a while, I was moved and full of emotion.

"I didn't expect her to remember me, tsk, what a good girl with a conscience!"

Shen Shi was about to die, "You made it clear to me?" ”

Lord Wang smiled, "Madame, do you remember that before I came to the capital, I was a county leader in Shuanghe Town, Huzhou, for many years. This Lin girl was originally just the daughter of a scribe under my command. But now, they are the same people as His Royal Highness the King of Han......"

He was a little proud, and said something more important, "His Royal Highness the King of Han will enter Beijing soon, and his husband will fight for the messenger who will go to meet him!" ”

Shen remembered, "Ah, this Miss Lin, but the little girl who helped you gain a good impression in front of the emperor, was transferred to the Beijing Division, and entered the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Precisely!

Shen slapped him hard, "Don't say what matters, pick up some useless." How can such kindness not be reciprocated? ”

Then she hurriedly took her mother-in-law and packed up the roe deer mountain treasures sent by her hometown, and still used those two big baskets to pack, and Ming'er planned to let people return the gift!

Wang Xianzun in the past, and now the king is in charge, he smiled, and went to add soup to eat.

But I am still annoyed in my heart, the "Beauty Story" he wrote in the past has now changed its name and surname and acted in the capital!

It's a pity that he didn't sign it, and he hated it a lot.

I hate it so much that tonight, I must eat a big bowl!

After waiting for Master Fang to send it for a day, he returned home after dark.

I saw his father, but he hadn't seen it for a long time, and he was talking to a few uncles who were good friends in the hall. His voice was so loud that he could hear it clearly outside the hospital.

“…… I saw something good like that before, and now I see something good, and I want to take it out and share it. Think beautifully! If you don't give me the position of patriarch this year, I will take it to worship my ancestors! ”

"That's right! Originally, in terms of the age of virtue, the position of the patriarch should have been yours a long time ago, and it was for the villain. This time, there is a face in the palace, who will refute it? ”

……

Master Fang listened for a while, squinting and smiling.

Today, he has seen a lot of similar scenes in the homes he sent to.

But when I go home and look at it again, I still don't get tired of hearing it, and it's very happy!

Just as he was about to go in and shout to his father and cheer him up, Mrs. Fang pulled him and said in a low voice, "Come back to the house with me!" ”

Twenty years after getting married, Master Fang still saw her so urgent when his wife first entered the door. With a move in his heart, he hurriedly ran back to his small courtyard and lowered his voice.

"What? Do you have it again? ”

"What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Fang is also middle-aged, her face turned red, and she quietly opened a box, "This, this is really for me?" ”

Master Fang was taken aback.

The first golden step in it is obviously a gift from the palace and is very valuable.

Mrs. Fang whispered, "This is the maid who came from the palace today, and she personally held it to me, saying that it was given to me by Miss Lin." I was scared, but the maid put it down and left. This, can this be collected? ”

Master Fang's heart was moved.

Originally, he looked at the gifts that the beautiful lady gave to several royal officials and gentlemen, which were comparable to him, and he was a little sour.

In the end, they have lived and died together, but they are still a bowl of water?

Although it is not bad, but human nature is always a little difficult to settle.

I didn't expect the little girl to be ambushed here!

What a human being.

When the master took the golden step and inserted it for his wife personally, he unexpectedly found that his wife's sideburns also had a few strands of gray hair.

Think about what a young and beautiful little girl she was back then.

There was a sour nose between his nose, "Here you go, you will wear it." Over the years, I have wronged you. Ming'er will wear it out and slap those mothers-in-law in the face! In the future, the husband can also earn you good things. ”

Mrs. Fang's tears were about to fall when she heard this, "I, I'm not afraid of what they say...... Before you go, you can give me another child, and it's good to support you......"

That didn't say, keep up the good work tonight!

Twenty-sixth of the lunar month.

Min Bai and Gu Zan led a large army to the camp twenty miles away on the outskirts of Beijing and stationed there.

Emperor Yan Cheng gave the pigs and sheep imperial wine, let the army rest for three days, and then enter the Beijing division.

Meiniang thought that Concubine Xu Xian would definitely send something to Min Bai, so she didn't have much to do.

Only let Jiao Guard take the maid Xiaoying, and send clothes and things to Lin Junwu, Aunt Tusi, and Ping'an and others, as well as a few sets of skin care products from Yuan Lin.

When it was time for dinner, because it was snowing again, she asked the kitchen to send a mutton pot, and she wanted to ask the cicada to sit down and eat with her.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, someone came in wearing an inky cloak, with a thin snow and a cold air.
