The house is most afraid of no one to live in, the empty house will fall into decay within a month, people are most afraid of the old, the old man sees the spirit withering, just like the old house, Rao is you every ten days and half a month to clean, after all, it is not as popular as the place.

On the second day of going home, Lily took her son back to her parents' house to see her father, when she was away, Yingchun and Lamei often came back to take care of the old couple, sending rice, noodles, vegetables and meat, sewing and mending, changing and washing.

After all, the old couple is old, Li Mingjiang has been injured since that year, and his body has never been very good, although Zhu was able when he was young, he didn't have three daughters to help him, and he was also a little struggling.

When Zhu saw his son, it was like seeing a living dragon, pulling him to ask long and short questions, and he couldn't wait to hold him in his arms and rub him as in the past. Qingsong hurriedly said: "Mother, I'm so big, you can go as if you were real." ”

The Zhu family has always been patriarchal, treating girls ordinarily, treating them as good as they are, hugging them with a smile and asking him to give him candy to eat. Ruzhen grabbed the maltose in his hand, licked it twice, kneaded it until his hands were sticky, and wiped Zhu's body, and Zhu was not annoyed.

Lily saw that although the inside and outside of the house were clean, there was a lonely atmosphere, so she discussed with Li Mingjiang: "Dad, this time I won't leave when I come back with Danian, you might as well go to the town with us to live, so as not to make us suspenseful." ”

Li Mingjiang was embarrassed: "How can an old father-in-law and mother-in-law go to live at the son-in-law's house permanently? ”

"Your in-laws are in the capital, what kind of serious in-laws are the family in the town? I carry the second child in my belly, my in-laws are not in front of me, and no one helps me bring Ruzhen, so it is better for you to help me. ”

As soon as Lily said this, Li Mingjiang was a little tempted: he was useless, and he was injured more than a wasted person, but the matter of taking care of the child was still successful, and even the Zhu family could help a little.

When Zhu heard Lily talk about her in-laws, her face suddenly lit up: "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law, are they really the princess's mother? Do they treat you well? Do they love us as true? How much silver do you give you at the bottom of the box?"

The first few sentences were fine, and then the silver of Lily was calculated, and Lily smiled angrily: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law have four or five sons and two daughters, all of whom were raised in front of me, and we went back suddenly, you said that people don't hurt us, how much silver can you give us?"

King Xin and the princess are not such shallow people, but they can't speak directly to people like the Zhu family, and they have to coax her with words, so as not to make her calculations: who doesn't know what she thinks.

Zhu Shi blocked Baiyi, rolled his eyes, and said: "That son-in-law is also the son of the prince, so you can be regarded as a little prince, and you are also a mother." ”

Lily couldn't cry or laugh: "Cheng, one of us is the prince in the vegetable field, and the other is the lady by the stove, you can be happy." ”

Every word of this girl can fulfill Zhu's wish, and Zhu muttered and complained, but Li Mingjiang felt sorry for Lily: "It's not easy for you to go to the capital, but you are really wronged." ”

He was honest and took Lily's in-laws as if they were not hurting.

Lily smiled: "No one bullies us, in the end, they are all noble families, if you want to be faced, how can you bully people like that family?"

That family is talking about the old Song family.

Zhu refused to flatter her because Lily was unwilling to flatter her thoughts, so he said: "We are not with the two of you, since my son has come back, it is only natural that he will live with his son." ”

Anyway, Qingsong is about to get married, and she will have her own daughter-in-law to serve her at that time.

Qingsong was stunned: "Mother, I am now a Jinyi guard, and I have to go to the capital in a short time." ”

When Zhu Shi heard this, he was like cutting meat, and said sharply: "What are you talking about? Your sister is coming home, and you still go to the capital? My mother hasn't seen you for a year, and half of my life has gone, and if you go to the capital again, you want the life of the old lady!" Qing Song hurriedly supported her, lest she slap her thigh and cry and scold, "Little Prince" was chopping wood in the yard, and when he heard the movement, he came in and said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, Qing Song is still young, let him go to the capital for two years, we can also take care of you." When he settles down in the capital and takes root,

Then I will take you to the capital to enjoy the blessings. ”

Only then did Zhu slowly stop crying, and he remembered the good days when he went to the capital to be an official in the future: "Then when we go to the capital in the future, we can be regarded as the father and mother of an official's family, and we can also see my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Song Haonian couldn't help but smile: "Yes!

Don't look at the Zhu family rolling in front of the juniors, she doesn't have the face of an elder at all, she really sees Princess Zhou's pomp and grandeur, she has a little courage, she is afraid that she won't even dare to speak, and Song Haonian is not afraid that she will bully Princess Zhou.

The Zhu family didn't have anything else, but he had the most unrealistic thoughts, and said to Song Haonian: "Since my uncle is in the capital, I should find a good-looking family for Qingsong, then the Liu family", she pouted, "Is it worthy of your brother-in-law." ”

"Mother!" Qingsong said hurriedly, "If you say that again, I will be angry with you." Lily also said: "Yueniang is good in everything, where is not worthy of Qingsong? Don't look at your son-in-law as the son of the prince, just think that Qingsong is also a member of the prince's family, there is no reason for this." These words came back to Yueniang's ears, you still have to beg for a life in her hands for the rest of your life, but stop it!

”

Several people talked about her together, Zhu didn't feel that he was wrong, and he knew that he couldn't make everyone annoy her, so he simply took care of it wholeheartedly.

Li Mingjiang also knew for the first time that Qingsong was going back to the capital, and the first thing was his family business: "Get married at home, or go to the capital to do it?"

Raising a son, if they go to the capital to get married, the heart of being a father and mother will be desolate.

Qingsong said with a smile: "It's at home, our adults gave me a year off, that is, I can live at home for a few days after I get married, and I will honor you with Sister Yueniang." ”

He also said that his father-in-law plans to retire in Taiping County, and he and Yueniang will definitely have to come back, "In two years, I will first take you and my mother to the capital to see the world and enjoy Qingfu, and when I become a hundred households, I can be transferred to Nanzhili, and then I will go home to support you and my father-in-law." ”

Qingsong was as refreshingly planned, and Li Mingjiang could only nod, "It's good that you know it in your heart, I'm the first useless person, and I'll hold you back." ”

Qingsong has grown up a lot after going out, and he is no longer as childish as in the past, seeing that Li Mingjiang is a little sad, he hurriedly said: "Dad, if you want to get married in our family, our house must be rebuilt, otherwise it will not look good." ”

As long as there is something to do, who cares about sadness?

Sure enough, not only did Li Mingjiang plan it, but Zhu also said when he heard it: "It's time to rebuild." "The house at home is still repaired by her and Li Mingjiang before they got married, and there are more than 20 years of rough calculation, either broken here or old there, the place is narrow and small, the light is not good, and the house is also black and hollow in the daytime, and suddenly walked into the house from under the sun, and it was dark in front of him, and he wanted half

I can see it clearly.

If you want to repair the house, you can get it in two months as fast, and three or four months as slow as possible, so Qingsong said the ceremony: "The ceremony of the three media and six certificates will be completed, and it will take several months, and this matter is all on my father." ”

Li Mingjiang couldn't help nodding: "Don't worry about the ceremony, don't ask your father-in-law to pick the number of gifts." Our family's money is in your mother's hands, and I don't know how much. Old woman, if your son wants to get married and repair the house, you should always let go. ”

You must know that Zhu has been slamming the door all these years, isn't it just to save money for Qingsong? She said: "I still use you to say, my family's money is all Qingsong's!"

As she spoke, she took Qingsong into her house and opened the box to count the money. Qing Song knew that the family's money was in this box, and his mother had a few dollars in her hand, but when she opened the box, she still startled his mother: "Why are there so many?"

He worked as an apprentice in a silk factory, and the first thing he had to learn was to estimate money: you don't have to count a pile of money, you can see how much it is with your eyes.

And the round and flat, the old and the new, and the silver and brass coins in the chest, were worth two hundred taels of silver, to say the least.

Qing Song's eyes straightened: "When did our family become so rich?"

Zhu said proudly: "My mother has worked hard all these years, and these are all saved for you." Qingsong came back to his senses easily, and after thinking for a while, he understood that the family was poor, and the Zhu family did not use the money in his hands, but in the end, the second sister's salary was first, and the eldest sister and the third sister were filial piety every month, so they naturally saved a lot. Before Lily entered Beijing, she was afraid that her father and mother would not have money, so she left her fifty

Two snowflakes of silver are called Zhu's flowers. When the Zhu family saw the money, they put it away closely, where could they use it?

It's hard for her old man to save such a solid foundation.

Before Qing Song was about to speak, Zhu Shi hurriedly laughed and said: "Don't tell your sister about them, when you go out, you will say that it is just enough to repair the house and get married, and you will have to rely on them in the future." ”

She also counted on her daughter to subsidize her son.

Qingsong didn't plan his sisters' family background, he was a dignified man, he had the ability, and he had a fortune, and it was natural to take his father's money, and it was better to take his sisters.

He knew that he couldn't tell the Zhu family, and he didn't agree, nor did he say anything about her, but said: "These are enough to build a big house, and you will have a good time to get married when you turn around, and then you will have a face in the village." ”

Zhu Shi was happy, locked the box again, and still came out to talk.

Song Haonian also went into the house to sit after chopping firewood, and was telling Li Mingjiang about the matter between him and the prince on the altar mountain, what kind of customs and customs he saw along the way, how many official ships were majestic, and what was the prince's birth......

In the end, Qing Song smiled and said: "Dad, the prince and my brother-in-law are the same, you sift a layer of flour on his face and smear it whiter, it is the prince." ”

Lily hated so much that she wanted to tear his mouth, but Song Haonian was not annoyed: "I look like my eldest brother, but he is a noble person at first glance, unlike me, I don't think I'm a farmer." ”

Zhu also sat there listening to the excitement, and couldn't help but sigh at his son-in-law's good luck to see such a big scene, "I want to see it once, this life is worth it." Yingchun was busy in the kitchen, and Lily simply went to help. Qingsong took the opportunity to follow and said to the eldest sister and the second sister: "I have enough money to repair the house and get married, if my mother cries poor, don't respond to her." ”
