Tong's Fanwai (2) by 不然520
Zhang Bao went out early and returned late every day, and was busy in the yamen, sometimes even staying in the yamen overnight in order to pick up the driver. Really, why did Kang Mazi suddenly come to Mukden, there is no heating here, and it is very cold. Seeing the ice lantern made by the baby, I began to fantasize about the Harbin Ice Lantern Festival I had seen before, that beautiful, well, I have been lighting it and waiting for my husband to come back and appreciate it.
I didn't expect this idea to be really used.,Ha,I can also relive the Ice Lantern Festival.,Kang Mazi.,It's pretty good to have people who have crossed over, right?
At home, I was a little restless, because this time the Empress Dowager also came, and I couldn't help but think of the private relationship between Da Yuer and Dolgon in the "Secret History of Xiaozhuang" before, oh, I'm too bad!! I also want to go out to see the excitement, but forget it, I'm not a child anymore, let the monkey take the baby out to see, it is estimated that the baby wants to see the appearance of Kang Mazi and Da Yuer, she must be very curious, that is a historical celebrity. Look, she's going to rust the lotus flowers into trumpet flowers, this girl!!
I was listening to the children scrambling to describe what was going on outside, when my husband returned, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to me in a hurry, "Madame, do you know who I have seen among the men who have come with me today?" It's the fourth elder brother!! "I was relieved for a moment, and I was happy again. Usually I care about the fourth elder brother's affairs, my husband thinks it's because of my cousin, of course, there is a little bit, but the main thing is that I know that it is the future Yongzheng, I am so excited, find a chance to meet the fourth elder brother, I can hug his thick thighs in advance, and our family will not have to worry about it in the future.
I'm excited, I'm excited, but the baby came to persuade me, what she said is very reasonable, I shouldn't go to Sisi like this. But baby, you should also know that Sisi is the future Yongzheng, why don't you let me go to her? I really can't say anything about hugging the future Yongzheng's thighs, after all, I don't want to destroy my image in the baby's heart, okay. It's just that I'm still a little unwilling: "Isn't it okay to send some clothes and food?" Don't report your Amma's name, just say it's Aunt Tang. "The baby reluctantly agreed, and suggested that I just say that it is good to say that I am from the Tong clan, alas, why do I think the baby is like a mother and I am like a daughter?
Zhang Bao was hit by Chen Liangben today, because Chen Liangben threw out the spring snow in Qinyuan, I couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Good words, this momentum is really extraordinary." "Just kidding, can old man Mao's words be bad? I heard that he also plagiarized the fortune operator Yongmei, hey, you should pay the copyright fee of the old man Mao, and I heard that he is very lustful, and he accepts any kind of woman, he thinks he is Wei Xiaobao's reincarnation, and the most important thing is to hit my husband's confidence, Chen Stallion, I despise you!!!
Eating a sour plum suppressed the nausea feeling, the carriage was bumpy, I squinted, and the baby came to tuck the quilt for me. Our family is now on our way back to the capital, and I am pregnant. This year, Zhang Bao's term of office has expired, so I'm going back to Beijing, in fact, I don't want to go back, how good it is for my family to be the master of my own house outside, and when I go back, I have to look at the face of the old lady Irgen, depressed~! I found out that I was pregnant again before I set off, and I was really scared of having a baby! However, there are two sons-in-law in the big house and the second room, and it is not good for me to have only one son, and it is good to have another one. On the way, by the way, explain the situation of the relatives at home to the baby, it is estimated that the baby will be very black line, how can there be so many relatives in the implementation of family planning now, and all live together, get used to it, baby!
I was surprised at first, but then I was speechless. Wanning's appearance, how to say it, is the same as the heroines I saw before wearing them, although I knew that she might have a flamboyant personality, I didn't expect it to come to this point. It's too bad for etiquette, the Earl's Court is still a noble family after all, forget it, it shouldn't be too demanding of the Earl's Court. I warned the baby to keep a low profile during his stay at the Earl's Court, and the baby obediently complied.
One day, this day made me grit my teeth and go to the old lady Ilgen in the morning to say goodbye. This dead old woman began to look loving, and when Zhang Bao left with the child, her wolf tail was almost exposed. "A few emeralds in my house, it's not that I'm boasting, in terms of character and appearance, they are all better than ordinary girls outside...... what do you mean? Again?? Your ** menopause is coming, I always want to find a second wife for my husband, why don't you find a few second wives for your husband!! God, forgive me, it's not that I don't pretend to be a lady, but I really can't pretend anymore!! I brushed my face white, and wrung my veil vigorously, no, I can't let you get away with it!! "It's the time of the national mourning...... The husband offended the people under Lord Suo'etu...... If someone catches the handle, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to retaliate at that time......"
Back in Huaiyuan, I told the second sister-in-law what happened just now, and I heard the second sister-in-law say, it turns out that Cuiying's girl is going to be matched with the second master? I sneered, I don't know what the old woman has in mind, hmph, I won't let you get your wish. I told Zhang Bao about this, and deliberately pretended to be very big-bellied, and said that I wanted to find one for her, and sure enough, he was still on my side, the first PK, I won, YES!
The baby went out shopping with his sisters, the monkey was in Zongxue class, and I was raising the fetus at home alone, which was boring!! To be honest, it's really depressing in the Earl's Court, my mother is in a bad mood, and it's not good for the fetus, I really want to get out of here quickly, otherwise it's really not conducive to me having a healthy baby. Just bored, Zhang Bao came back, "Madam, there is good news, I get the news today, I am about to get a new appointment" "Really? Already determined? "I was pleasantly surprised, what a wish it had come true! The baby and the monkey are also very happy, our hard days are coming to an end, scattering flowers and ~~~~~~~~~
A few days later, the baby told me that she had seen Sisi, and I felt a burst of amuse when I heard her talk to Sisi like an underground party to a code. But I was also shocked, because I never realized that Sisi was now just a child younger than Duanningdu, and he was still living in such an environment, without the care of his mother. Especially when I imagined that he talked about those two clothes, I couldn't help but cry, and it was only then that I really cared about him from the bottom of my heart, not because he was the future Yongzheng. I decided that I was going to give the poor boy the motherly love that he didn't enjoy, and I had to take good care of him...... When I was about to do a big job (what material and what style of clothes to give), the baby held me down again, and after listening to her several suggestions, I looked at her deeply, "Sometimes Eniang is really suspicious, how did you make you look so powerful?" Although everyone praises your sister Wanning for being smart, according to Eniang, our Shuning is the one who is the most hidden, isn't it? "Actually, the words in my heart are, baby, why are you so low-key, it's completely different from that crossing bowl, are you a homebody girl in your previous life??? But yes, low-key is king!!
———————————I'm the dividing line in a few days———————————
I was doing needlework in the room, my body was getting heavier and heavier, and I was too lazy to move, when the second sister-in-law came in with hot water and wiped my face. By the way, I whispered about all kinds of things in the house, although I had to stay in the house to raise the baby, but I couldn't be unaware of what was happening outside, and the second sister-in-law came to tell me some gossip in the house at this time every day. I just knew that the baby had a quarrel with the crossing bowl in the bamboo yard today, I raised my eyebrows, and thought, the baby is still quarreling with someone with the same temperament as HelloKitty, is it that the bowl touched the scales? Ask her in the evening.
The baby thought I was blaming her, and immediately admitted her mistake, "My stupid child, doesn't Eniang know about you?" ...... "I dismissed her, but she didn't seem to want to tell me about it, did it have something to do with the crossing?" She should know that Wan Ning is also wearing, it seems that she doesn't plan to recognize Wan Ning, too, Wan Ning's temperament is a person who will cause trouble. "It's better to stay away from her in the future, she is now the meat on the tip of your grandmother's heart, fall out with her, you are the one who suffers, you have to be careful in everything in the future." In that case, it would be nice to deal less with Wanning. Seeing that she was still a little stuffy, teasing her, "You help E-niang make my brother's clothes?" Presumably he won't dislike your craft. "Hehe, silly girl!
Later, the baby still told me about the day, it turned out that Wanning instigated Fang Ning to have a private meeting with a kid outside, I thought about it, and told the baby not to tell others. The next day, after saying goodbye to the old woman, he walked out with his sister-in-law, and said as if unintentionally: "Sister-in-law, I heard that Fang Yatou has started to learn the tea ceremony, but it is really interesting, when will the master of the tea pavilion be invited back to let our family Shu'er also learn", and a few days later, I heard that I invited someone back to teach Fang Ning to learn etiquette, and I smiled faintly.
In addition, Zhang Bao's lack has been settled, one is a fourth-grade Shuntian Mansion Cheng, and the other is a fifth-grade Tongzhi, looking at Zhang Bao's appearance, he is more interested in the Shuntian Mansion. I didn't say anything, but I actually hoped that Zhang Bao would be able to set a vacancy in the field, so that he would not have to stay in the Earl's Court. But Zhang Bao seems to be very satisfied with the lack of four products, and I can't say anything, so I can only smile reluctantly, and I have to find a way to persuade Zhang Bao to change his mind.
Unexpectedly, after a while, disaster came. It turned out that Fang girl's incident, I thought it was exposed like this, but I didn't expect it to be a goof. It turned out that the four girls went to sue, and my baby was implicated, and Wanning was also scolded by the old woman. The most annoying thing is that the old woman is angry with the baby because I don't agree to accept Cuiying, I gritted my teeth fiercely and wrung the veil hard. The baby was so affected by me that I had to be confined, I was angry for a while, and suddenly felt some pain in my abdomen. I asked the doctor to come and check the pulse, and after a while, I lay on the bed and thought about it.
At night, I cried and begged Zhang Bao to find a shortage in the field, and told him all the grievances suffered by the baby and the monkey during this time, but Zhang Bao still didn't believe it. I continued to cry, this time I must go to the field, and I can't stay in this mansion any longer. The three girls are all unconscious, especially the bowl, which is a troublemaker, but they can't let them affect the baby anymore.
Today is another chaotic day, and since I returned to the Earl's Court, I haven't had a single day of peace. I am resentful, I don't know how to take care of the emotions of pregnant women? Recently, I've been getting more and more irritable, Zhang Baoka coaxed me, and I didn't give him a good face, and I talked with a gun and a stick. But when I heard him say that he had decided the lack of Guangzhou Tongzhi, I stayed again, did he really give up the rare official position of the fourth rank for the sake of his family? It's false to say that you are not moved, it is really difficult for an ancient man to put his family in front of his career, I burst into tears and laughed, this husband is also very good, isn't it?
The family felt relaxed, in order to bring something to Guangzhou and discussed, saw the baby and the monkey laughing, I smiled happily The ^_^ second sister-in-law came to ask about the bird's nest at this time, thinking of what happened in the old woman's house not long ago, the heart of prevention is indispensable, or use the Zhou family to send it, it is safer. When I turned my head, I heard the baby say that it was a goof, hehe, the baby had seen the sea in his previous life, and now he was asked by the monkey. I also heard about the ship, and I also played on the cruise, but I won't talk about goofs, I just said that I heard about it when I was in Shandong.
==================I'm the dividing line =================== after lunch
After lunch, Shen came over and explained to me the Perfume Gate incident, nothing happened to me, and she didn't have the heart, so forget it. I've also heard about Cuiyu and the fourth child, anyway, I don't have a good impression of the old woman's Cui.
And that Qiu Ju, you have to dispose of it as soon as possible. I looked at the Li family and Brother Qing of the Nala clan coldly, glanced at Qiu Ju again, and snorted lightly.
The whole family took action and began to prepare for going to Guangzhou, but before leaving, Zhang Bao told me bad news.
The baby son can't go to Guangzhou with us, I want to cry, and feel guilty, I have been paying more attention to the baby since this time, because of the relationship between the same and the monkey is a boy, and then it is inevitable to be a little negligent. Now I am so reluctant to leave him, I can understand the feeling of my aunt who sent my cousin to go to college in another place, and the monkey is still only in junior high school. My little end ~~~~~~~~~~ woo-woo, especially heard him say, "When you come back, I will be a man, and no one will be able to bully us." "I'm even more sad.
I left the second sister-in-law to take care of Duanduan, and there are a lot of things to explain to the second sister-in-law, first of all, the two girls who are scholarly and inky, you have to pay attention to it, boys are exposed to these things too early and will affect their development. Then there is something for Xiao Sisi, and let the second sister-in-law personally deliver it in person...... was discussing, Shen came, she took me to Guangzhou with one of her brother's concubines, I thought it was just a walk on the road, it was not a big deal, so I agreed. In retrospect, maybe it was fate.
The final day of leaving Beijing was set after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was also the suggestion of Xiao Sisi, and a retired imperial doctor went on the same road, and the safety of my pregnancy and rush was also guaranteed. On the day of parting, I pulled Duan Duan and told him very reluctantly to pay attention to the cold weather, add clothes, eat enough, and if there is a dizziness and heat, I should tell my second sister-in-law or other adults...... I couldn't help but want to shed tears again, and I really wanted to stuff Duanduan back into my stomach and take it with me.
The baby also came to say goodbye to her brother, she kept sniffing, the two of them reluctantly told each other, and my nose was sour. At this time, the trouble-making bowl shook again, and said that she would take care of Duanduan, let us rest assured, cut, that's how we don't worry, looking at Duanduan's appearance of ignoring her, I was a little relieved, my son, will not be so easy to be harmed! Come on, son!
I saw the big and small Liu at the dock, the big Liu has a more hearty personality, and it seems that he is an assertive master who does not admit defeat, and her sister Xiao Liu is completely the opposite, cowardly and cowardly, and she cries when she mentions her son. I was much better off than she was, so I got close to her and chatted along the way, but it wasn't so boring.
After more than a month on the ship, the weather slowly warmed up, and finally arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River, ready to dock.
When I got off the luggage, there was a room named Wang Ruibao's family who had been flickering, and when I got in the car, I was muttering, which made me upset, and I was killed with a knife in the eye. Although I was making a sedan chair, it was not so bumpy, but I also felt stuffy and dizzy, and I finally got to the house, and I didn't want to move when I sat down, and I didn't even have the strength to speak. The second sister-in-law is not there, and there is no servant woman in charge, but fortunately, the big Liu family helped to smooth these things over. Imperial Physician Chen came to check the pulse, drank the medicine again, and finally recovered, so he got up and went to the hall outside to direct the servants of the house.
This time, there are two family members who came to Guangzhou, one room is called Wang Ruibao, the son of the old woman's companion, his wife was originally a high-grade housekeeper, but today's performance was too bad, so I took their steward position and let the other family be in charge of the inner courtyard affairs of the Lin family. Hmph, there is no use for the old woman who comes out, what kind of master raises what kind of slave.
——————————I'm the dividing line where something happens——————————
As soon as the affairs were sorted out, it rained, although it was not big, but I heard the next person Adi say that it had been dry for many days, and it rained as soon as we came, so it was a good sign. Zhang Bao came back and said, I only know that there is still food to grow after the autumn harvest here, I can't blame me for being an agricultural blind, for me who used to buy vegetables in the vegetable market and even the green onion and leeks are not very clear, I know that it is usually good to be idle after the autumn harvest, or a little common sense that I only understand in this era. Zhang Bao is quite complacent in farming, but he was laughed at by the baby, and then he talked about dialects, I used to understand Cantonese when I used to watch TVB dramas on the Internet, and I could speak some, but the vernacular at that time was a little different from what it is now, plus I haven't heard it for many years, I basically forgot it, and it seems that I have to learn it all over again
Soon our family settled down, and after dinner, the uncle of the Liu family came to pick up the Liu sisters, and my thoughts drifted to the food in Guangzhou. Guangzhou cuisine is a major part of Cantonese cuisine, focusing on quality and taste, and the taste is relatively light, striving to seek freshness in the clear and beauty in the light. And it changes with the season, summer and autumn are more light, and winter and spring are more intense. The taste is clear, fresh, tender, refreshing, smooth and fragrant; The seasoning is sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty; It's really a lot of flavors
After sucking the saliva, white-cut chicken, boiled shrimp, suckling pig in the open furnace, roast duck in the oven, snake soup, shrimp soaked in oil, braised skirt wings, steamed seafood, shrimp roe grilled ginseng...... There are also a variety of delicate dim sum, shrimp dumplings, steamed siu mai, water chestnut cake, glutinous rice chicken, honeycomb taro wedges, barbecued pork buns, spring rolls, powdered fruits, and congee...... I seemed to be able to smell the rich fragrance, and quietly wiped the corners of my mouth with a handkerchief!!!
I thought it was delicious, so I immediately invited a cook who could make medicinal supplements after giving birth, the cook's name was Ah Yin, he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, his hands and feet were very quick, and he was also very good at cooking, especially good at making soup. She had a really poor background, and after drinking the crucian carp soup she made, I immediately decided to keep her for a long time.
After Ah Yin came, I can enjoy all kinds of delicacies every day, including Tongcao crucian carp soup, papaya crucian carp soup, red bean soup, peanut pig's feet soup, red dates and wolfberry hen soup, lean meat stewed ejiao, etc. As a result, when I sat down in a month, I gained a lot of weight, and I felt embarrassed to see that Zhang Bao was busy and thin. Since it is not easy to lose weight by yourself, then Zhang Bao will also be fatten, so I will pull him to drink supplements every day, so that he will not feel unmatched, hehe~~!
When it comes to delicious food, I am naturally happy, but there are also some things that are not so happy, first of all, the production a while ago. Originally, under the care of Imperial Physician Chen, everything was normal with the fetus, but who knew that something happened the day after Imperial Physician Chen returned to his hometown to meet his relatives. As I walked through the porch, I stepped on a puddle of water underneath the ground and slipped, and immediately felt a pain in my abdomen, and a dampness came from under me, and I immediately realized that the amniotic fluid had penetrated and I was about to give birth. Then the whole family was in chaos, several daughters-in-law helped me to the bed, the labor pain hit wave after wave, my heart became more and more panicked, Imperial Doctor Chen was not there, Zhang Bao went out to inspect the farmland, originally Wang Ruibao's family had the most experience in midwifery, but because the puddle of water was splashed by her, the whole person was paralyzed when she saw the trouble, and there was no hope at all. I was even more panicked, this premature birth is not a trivial matter, especially in this ancient period, a careless ......, I feel more and more pain, almost out of strength. Fortunately, at this time, the Liu sisters came, the little Liu comforted me softly, and the big Liu calmed down and began to arrange the delivery, my heart settled, and after the Wen Po came, I finally gave birth to the child without danger.
After this incident, I decided to take care of the subordinates in my family, who used to be in Mukden, there were only six or seven subordinates, and they were all old people who had been used for many years, so nothing went wrong. Now in Guangzhou, the family has added three rooms and some girls, and it is not good to take care of it without establishing rules. It is necessary to make the subordinates loyal and obedient and obey the rules, which is nothing more than a clear reward and punishment, and a combination of grace and power. Do things well and diligently in addition to the monthly money will never be stingy, do the wrong thing lazy that the wrench is not soft, the next person is sick and ask the doctor to give a holiday, needless to say, if you have crooked thoughts, steal and play tricks, and break the rules, you will sell or send it away, and it is not for nothing that you will be thrown out and killed. Like Wang Ruibao's two sons, they took advantage of the news to be driven back to the capital, and it was not good to move him because he was an old woman in the room.
After Wang Ruibao and his wife left, Changfu and Zhou Lin did things less easily, which was naturally much more convenient, and the family became more and more hexie, so I began to give my daughter primary training in housework management, that is, to manage the food room. I didn't expect the baby to do better than I imagined, originally I thought that modern little girls are not very willing to do housework, there must be no experience, but she combined some modern knowledge to take care of the ingredients properly, especially the disinfection of dishes and chopsticks, to a large extent to protect the health of the family, especially the baby Xiao Xianning. So I resolutely stood on the baby's side and ordered everyone to listen to the baby's command.
—————————I'm a time divider——————————
The first Chinese New Year we spent in Guangzhou was very happy and nourishing as a family, mainly because we had money in our hands. I didn't expect that there is so much oil and water in Guangzhou, Guangzhou is one of the few foreign trade ports in China, many local wealthy businessmen seize the opportunity to become the agent of foreign enterprises in China, as the comprador of independent businessmen, on behalf of foreign companies in the mainland to buy and sell goods, and China's tea, porcelain and silk are the hottest commodities in the European market, so the profits are huge. In order to keep their position as compradors, they would give very expensive gifts to officials of all sizes in Guangzhou every New Year's holiday, which was already a common practice.
The living standard of the family with money in my hand has been improved all of a sudden, and the baby has also learned a lot of soup with Ah Yin. After all, it is not easy for a child who is not yet ten years old to make a complex dish alone, only I laughed secretly, the baby is twenty or thirty years old in the previous and subsequent lives, and it is not a child.
Lantern Festival Guangzhou has lanterns to see, I can not be interested in this, every year the tourism festival of all kinds of floats I can't look at, not to mention the ancient simple lanterns, but the baby is making trouble Zhang Bao to take to join in the fun. I made all kinds of fillings at home and waited for them to come back to eat, the baby didn't know what snacks he ate outside, and he started to try to make them when he got home, but it didn't seem to be successful. It looks like shrimp dumplings, but unfortunately I only eat them, and I don't know how to make them, so I can't guide her.
It didn't take long for the letter from Jingli to come, and the letter from the old lord and the old woman had nothing to say, but I flashed a hint of discoloration when Duanning was selected for the list of elder brothers' companions, will Duanduan be a companion to the fourth elder brother? The baby had already taken the letter to her back to the room, and it took a while to come back, and Duanduan said a lot of things in the letter, and I looked at the letters over and over again with tears in my eyes.
Duanduan said in the letter that he would not be selected as the prince's companion, but it was his Fa Xiaotongying who recommended him to go to Zongxue as a companion. also told the PK story of the trouble bowl and Chen Stallion in detail, I kept sneering in my heart, these two people are not good goods, but Chen Stallion's means are much stronger than the trouble bowl, this time Wanning has been taught a lesson, see how to make trouble in the future. Finally, there are a few Tongying's "Duanning Daily Behavior Map", I looked at it carefully, not letting go of a little detail, I wanted to imprint the appearance of Duanduan in my mind, the baby and her Ama discussed the postal matter next to me.
Time flies in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it is the thirtieth year of Kangxi, and I am also thirty-five years old, and I have been in Guangzhou for more than two years, and some interesting things have happened during this period. First of all, Zhang Bao planted a 'mulberry fish pond' at the suggestion of the baby, which seems to be a method summed up in modern agriculture, but I don't understand it at all, which also gives Zhang Bao more credit in office. Then the baby designed a raincoat, which is much harder than the materials used in modern times, but it is still quite practical, and the result is a group of raincoat geeks, hehe. There was also a family that visited the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat, which was similar to the dragon boat race I saw in "Scarlet Xiangxi", and I saw a few foreigners on the way back, like from Europe. There were a few typhoons in the summer, and I have encountered them in modern times, so I was well prepared and there were no major incidents. In the end, the baby finally made fried rice noodles, and the chef Ah Yin borrowed from the noodle stall he opened......
Back in front of me, I looked at the letter from Jingli, faintly angry, the baby was a little worried when he saw it, I chatted with her about the female red, and let her go back to the room. I took out the letter again and continued to worry about it.
I'm completely speechless about my mother-in-law, Mrs. Ilgen, who still can't forget to find Zhang Bao's second wife, which makes me very angry. She fell in love with Zhang Bao an eighteen-year-old girl, an adopted daughter of Zhang Bao's brother-in-law's family, hum, Zhang Bao is almost forty years old, isn't this an old cow eating tender grass? Although Zhang Bao himself had no idea and didn't take this matter to heart, I had to be vigilant, I knew that the old woman's mind of wanting to install people in our house would not change easily. I thought about it, Zhang Bao was promoted, and he has never had a concubine, which is always a hard injury, but I really don't want more people in the family to come out, first of all, we are emotionally unwilling, and the family's property or something wants to be hidden, and suddenly a thought flashed, "fake marriage"!! I have read a lot of romance novels, idol dramas, like "Full House of Romance" or something, there is such a bridge, if I can find someone to pretend to be Zhang Bao's concubine, then I can not only have a statement to the outside world but also use this to beat the old woman's mind, I am excited.
But this matter is also very difficult to handle, first of all, the question of the candidate, it is difficult to find the right one, after all, how many people in ancient times could accept fake marriages? was worried, Su Yun entered the house and reported: "Rong *** sent someone to return the gift, saying that it was the jade pendant and medicinal herbs sent by Mrs. Xie before. "My eyes lit up, I was really sleepy and met a pillow, isn't there someone in front of me? Rong's *** milk is the big Liu, she married a general manager named Rong Zhi last year. Husband and wife are in love, Da Liu has been pregnant for five months, and her sister Xiao Liu is the person I think of.
Xiao Liu's conditions are very suitable, first of all, she was born in a serious family in Qi, and her appearance is not bad, but now she is in a bad situation, she is a widow, helpless, she can only live with her aunt, and she is not treated well by her family. Then she has been thinking about her ex-husband in her heart, and she will not remarry, so fake marriage is also a good choice for her. It can be said that this is a matter for our family to take what they need and everyone is beneficial, but it is difficult to say such a thing, and it must be difficult for Xiao Liu to accept such an advanced idea, only from her son's side, she is very nervous about her son.
After making up my mind, I wrote a post and ordered someone to carry a sedan chair to invite Xiao Liu to be a guest. Looking at Xiao Liu's current situation, I was a little embarrassed, and plucked up the courage to ask her, "Sister Liu, don't be surprised when I say this." Are you willing to marry into our family to be a second room? We will return to Beijing in half a year, and you can go back with us, and you can see your son again. Xiao Liu was taken aback, it was difficult to accept, I knew it in my heart, so I expressed the intention of fake marriage, and told her the original reason, and then offered to help her raise her son. I could see that she was a little moved, and I knew that this matter could not be rushed, so I said softly: "I know this thing is too sudden, no wonder you hesitate." In that case, how about you go home and think about it for two days, and then reply to me? ”
After Xiao Liu left, I kept thinking about it, and I didn't have the heart to do it, and when Zhang Bao came back in the evening, I told him about it in a depressed way. Sure enough, Zhang Bao was very angry, I begged him again, analyzed the benefits and disadvantages clearly, and emphasized that Xiao Liu's situation was not good and he didn't want to marry again, Zhang Bao still felt that it was inappropriate, and refused directly, and was angry with me about it. In addition, before Xiao Liu heard back, Big Liu came, and he was very angry about this, I reluctantly explained to her, and also emphasized Xiao Liu's current situation, and he didn't even have a decent clothes when he went out. Da Liu thought about it for a long time, she was very worried that if the fake came true, I was not happy to let Xiao Liu be wronged, I only explained again, she finally relented, but it still depends on Xiao Liu's own meaning. Of course, I hurriedly agreed, and promised that even if she didn't want to, I would recognize her as a sister and bring her back to Beijing.
Alas, it seems that it is really hard to say whether this thing will work out or not, and if it doesn't, I have to think of a way just in case. So I had to put my mind on Su Yun, Su Yun has been with me for 3 years, has been serving in my room, and gradually became my confidant, she has a steady temperament, and she is not ambitious, so I am ready to find a chance to test Su Yun. "Su Yun, you will be 19 after the New Year, and you are not young, I have always wanted to find you a good family, I don't want to delay you, but I really can't leave you, you see so many things in this family, I can't be busy alone without help, I don't know if you have any plans in your heart, you just say it......" Su Yun only said that she didn't have any other thoughts now, she just wanted to serve Mrs. Hou well, I sighed secretly, it seems that Su Yun is not very easy to do, usually she is better with Qiaoyun, and she should not want to be a concubine.
Zhang Bao was angry with me, and the baby also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he coaxed the two of us in a different way, and I was always careful with me, and finally reconciled. When I was still thinking about the matter of taking a concubine, Xiao Liu finally came to the door again, and after confirming once again that it was just a fake marriage in name only, she finally agreed, and I was greatly relieved.
The baby was surprised at first when he found out about this, but he should have figured it out later. When I was doing a happy event, I set up two tables at home and invited some relatives and friends, but I gave a very generous dowry, which was full of 12 lifts. After Xiao Liu's entry, in addition to staying in the room to do needlework every day, he went to the upper room to talk to me, or took care of Xianning, and got along with Zhang Bao very politely, not so much in the second room, but more like a sister-in-law. Seeing such a scene, I was even more relieved.
It's just that no matter how much you endure it, it's a blessing or a curse to avoid it after all, this day Zhang Bao was angry from above again, and he came back angry, but a few masked men wearing black night clothes and holding knives broke into our house, I was frightened and couldn't help screaming. Seeing a man with thick eyebrows slashing at Zhang Bao with a knife, I subconsciously wanted to step forward to block the knife, but Zhang Bao grabbed me and threw him behind. Then I saw Zhang Bao raise his hand and lift the tray on the table, the man was doused with hot soup powder, raised his foot and kicked Zhang Bao in the heart, Zhang Bao was kicked to the ground by him, just crushing me. At this tense moment, Xianning's cry came from behind, and the man was about to go to Xianning's side, but was hugged by the baby. I watched as the baby was stabbed by the man, fell into the corner, and slammed into the wall from behind, and I was almost unable to breathe. I didn't expect the baby to be very bold, arguing with those people to drag on time, the more I looked, the more nervous I became, for fear that those thieves would hurt the baby in a fit of anger, but fortunately, there were officers and soldiers coming soon, and those people ran away from Qingyun Lane. I trembled and threw myself on my daughter and hit her hard. "How dare you be so bold? Don't you want to die? Then he hugged his daughter and cried.
I have never been exposed to such bloody things, growing up in a modern civilized society, this kind of thing has only been seen on TV, and I did not expect to encounter such danger one day. If it weren't for the baby dragging those people, I can't imagine what it would have been like in the end. When I saw that her wound was four or five inches long, and that the blood was flowing all over her hand, and that it had coagulated a little, my heart was like a knife, and I took a handkerchief to wrap it while crying. Xianning was not injured under the protection of Xiao Liu, and the whole family was in chaos for a while before slowly calming down.
Next, Zhang Baoshuer was recuperating at home, and later learned that Liang Zhifu was seriously injured, and our family was not far from their home, so we suffered an unjustified disaster. Within two days, Zhang Bao was ordered to temporarily take over the prefect's authority and preside over the overall situation in the city, and Zhang Bao had to take office with an injury.
Some follow-up news came, those thieves were finally caught, and one of them was also somewhat implicated with the Guangzhou general, and finally the Guangzhou general Baiyin Dali lost his office, and the emperor sent his confidant Wu Dan as the new Guangzhou general, and Zhang Bao was officially appointed as the prefect. The most important thing is that Duanduan has come to Guangzhou.
When I first met Duanduan, I hugged him and cried loudly, I haven't seen him for more than 2 years. Now Duanning is almost 16 years old, he has grown a lot taller, and he is already a handsome young man. It turned out that he came with the ship of the general of Guangzhou, saying that he wanted to be filial to his parents, and even the place in the army was given to Chengning in the second room, and the old lord felt that it was good for his grandson to come to Guangzhou to see it, I didn't care about these, but I just thought it would be best not to separate from my son in the future. After that, Duan Ning talked in detail about what happened in the Earl's Mansion over the years, which mentioned Wanning, Wanning learned a lesson after PK with Chen Stallion, and was sent to Baoding Biezhuang for a period of time, and felt like he had gotten better when he came back, but in fact, he was only doing superficial work, and in fact he had no progress. He also brought the news of Xiao Sisi, and I was relieved to hear that he was doing well.
With the arrival of General Wu Dan, our family also had new friends, Duan Ning had a good relationship with the two sons of the general's family, Chongsi Chongli, Shu'er and their daughter Zhenzhen also became best friends, and I gradually became acquainted with the general's wife Wen. The children of the two families often travel together, visit each other, and make an appointment with several official wives to co-organize this year's Seven Sisters Meeting, so that the daughters of each family can compare their crafts.
And our family's first investment was also in cooperation with the general's family, that is, the former cook Ah Yin ordered a shop, and later took charge of the kitchen with the apprentice, and Bian Cai, a deputy steward of the general's family, opened a teahouse, Wen and I were the major shareholders and two shareholders, Shu'er and Zhenzhen plus a few boys also contributed some money. After a series of preparations, Chongyang opened around the time of the opening, the name is "Cyclamen", the business is excellent, and it returns to its capital in less than three months. At the end of the year, Xiao Liu's got a hundred taels, and Shu'er also got more than forty taels, and they all felt that the business was doing well.
After this business, our family and the Wudan family became closer, and then an incident happened that brought our two families even closer. It's Zhenzhen who has a ladylike thought for our family Duanning, a super invincible beautiful boy in the universe like my Duanning, who is loved by everyone, flowers bloom, and cars see cars...... It's far away, I'm still quite satisfied with Zhenzhen's child, first of all, Zhenzhen is very beautiful, not much better than that Wanning, her personality is very cheerful and lively, her family background is also good, and the most important thing is that she doesn't have to participate in the draft. Because General Wu Dan has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, he is very favored, so Zhenzhen can be exempted. My Duanning is so good, his wife also needs to be a good match, and most of the better women are selected by the draft, and the unsuccessful ones are not very satisfactory, so Zhenzhen's conditions are really rare. I hinted to Wen a few times in private, and the two of them had a tacit understanding, and they would wait until the two children were two years old.
Just when everything was going for the better, there was a big change, to be precise, there were two major events. The first was because of the brutal officialdom struggle, a senator surnamed Jia under the Political Envoy Department was imprisoned and died because of the failure of the governor to report the matter of customs tariffs and silver, and the second was the death of the old lord Harqi. One event prompted Zhang Bao to decide to resign and return to Beijing to worry about the system, one is to avoid getting involved in political struggles, and the other is to go home to serve his old mother.
Although he returned to Beijing to avoid right and wrong, Duanning's budding marriage was in danger of being forced to be interrupted, after all, the two families were so far away, and it was not clear what would happen in the future, so it was not easy to make any promises, so it could only depend on fate. Before leaving Guangdong, Shu'er's personal girl Chunxing stayed in Guangzhou and married Ah Yin's younger brother Ah Xin. Then the family began to pack their bags and prepare to return to Beijing.
