In the past few days of Ruzhen's birthday, the weather has become cooler, and the lead-gray clouds have come down low, and it looks like it is about to snow.

There was a strong wind outside, and a brazier was burning in the house, and it was not cold at all. However, the children love to stay in the East Chamber, and when they sit on the kang, it doesn't hurt to wear less, and their legs and bodies are hot.

Lily put a jar of warm water in the corner of the big kang, drop two drops of rose dew, and take a set of bamboo cover outside so as not to overturn, the house will not be dry and panicked, and when you walk into the house, the room is full of fragrance.

Wen Wa Niang carried a basket into the door, and saw the black tiger crawling out of its shack and wagging its tail, Li Chouwa was hot wine and eating in the upside-down seat, and greeted with a smile: "Everyone is in the East Chamber." ”

Wen Waniang bypassed the shadow wall and saw a thick cotton curtain hanging at the door of the east chamber to block the wind, but she couldn't stop the bursts of laughter inside.

As soon as she opened the curtain and walked in, she saw a room full of little red and green dolls, wearing bright gold collars and jade ornaments, which made people's eyes dazzle. Lily is wearing a water-red jacket, green pants with flowers on the bottom, bright colors, and no skirt, her hair is pulled into a shiny bun, and she is sitting on the edge of the kang to watch and Zhen draw patterns and Zhen has learned to paint, and the painting patterns are not a problem

Below, it is better than Yi'an.

Yi'an was unconvinced: "You are a boy, what do you do with these things?"

He Zhen said: "The emperor's grandfather also made a small house for his grandmother to play, and his father also painted a fan for his mother, why can't I do this?"

The two brothers and sisters quarreled, which caused Song Haonian to laugh.

Ruzhen's big head was pillowed on Song Haonian's lap, his small body was twisting and twisting, his two feet kept kicking Xing'er, Xing'er and Han Ai grabbed his feet left and right and tickled, Ruzhen laughed when he laughed, laughing so much that he almost lost his breath.

Thanks to the large house and spacious kang, it can accommodate so many children who refuse to be honest.

Han Zhi and Han Fang played sheep gaha, and if they could take care of the sandbags, they couldn't take care of the bones, and they were picking up sandbags all over the ground, so anxious that they were sweating.

Suddenly, the sandbag fell at Wen Wa Niang's feet, Han Zhi hurriedly picked it up, looked up and saw Wen Wa Niang, and blinked: "Second aunt, there is an aunt looking for you." ”

Wen Waniang didn't know whose dolls these dolls were, but she knew that the dolls of the Song Haonian brothers were all treasures, and she was a little uncomfortable when she heard that her aunt was called, so she hurriedly said: "I got some new things and brought them to you to taste." ”

Lily and Song Haonian hurriedly got up and asked Wen Waniang to sit down, and asked Lan Niu to pour honey tea, Lan Niu burned sweet potatoes in the kitchen to eat, and when she heard the order, she brought over a pot of honey tea and added a few sweet potatoes: "It's baked, it's delicious." ”

The sweet potatoes are roasted hot and flowing with honey, the outside is burnt and fragrant, the flesh is golden, and a sweet smell wafts out. Wen Waniang also took things from the basket and put them on the kang table, and said with a smile: "You told me that the tofu shop must be open for a long time, and the tofu must be made well, and it must be prosperous, and it must make people feel fresh." It's only been a few days since I got a fried tofu skin, you can taste it

Taste. ”

Needless to say, the spicy and spicy taste has already recruited the children, and the little ones love sweets, and Zhen boasts that he is a man, and he refuses to always eat sweets like his younger brothers and sisters.

This thing is said to be bean skin, in fact, it is made of rice and mung beans to grind out the pulp, steamed into soft glutinous bean skin, two pieces of bean skin up and down wrapped glutinous rice mixed with mushrooms, diced pork, fried out and sprinkled with green onions can be eaten, and if you like to eat spicy, you will smear a layer of spicy sauce.

Lily took two bites and said with a smile: "Why is this glutinous rice so fragrant?"

Wen Waniang said: "I mixed some lard into the glutinous rice, and the more it was fried, the more fragrant it became. ”

Lily asked the children again, "How are you eating?"

He Zhen nodded and said, "Very good." ”

He is a villain, and he can still be coquettish in front of his parents, and he is inevitably reserved in front of outsiders. Yi'an didn't twist it, and said generously: "It's delicious, even if it's put in the imperial dining room, it's not bad." ”

The imperial dining room is a place to cook for the emperor!

Wen Waniang's legs were weak, and she hurriedly said: "How can you compare with the old men in the imperial dining room? ”

Yi An said: "Which dish has I never eaten in the imperial dining room?" but that's it, auntie, I'm tired of you telling me how to do it, and I'll teach them how to do it later!"

Wen Waniang looked at Lily hesitantly, Lily nodded, and she told Yi'an carefully.

In the middle, Yi'an asked from time to time, "Why do you have to soak mung beans for two hours?" and "Is it okay to add salted meat?"

After thinking about it, if this little nobleman really asked the lord of the imperial dining room to make it and present it to the emperor, would it be considered that the emperor had also eaten her food? Wenwa can also live better in the capital.

Wen Waniang actually came back because Xu Caiwen hadn't written back for several months, so she had to ask Lily.

Song Haonian said: "Wenwa and Qingsong, go to Liaodong to work as an errand for the imperial court, I calculate that at most they can return to the capital, don't worry." It's that you can't come back for the New Year this year, you know. ”

"They earn a future for themselves, and it's not uncommon for them not to come back for a few years. Wen Waniang nodded, but she was still in a hurry, "Even on this cold day, I don't know if his little brothers have been frozen." She didn't know much about the situation in Liaodong, but Song Haonian heard Wang Shizi talk about it, and he didn't mention it from Liaodong, so he said: "They are not just two people going to Liaodong, there are many people and horses to follow, and there are also Jinyi guards in Liaodong,

And I can't grieve them. ”

A few decades ago, the border army of the Ming Dynasty ate coarse grains mixed with sand and rat feces, and padded jackets filled with catkins. The emperor said that no one should be bitter to protect the warriors who defend the country, from top to bottom to kill corrupt officials with blood, and cut the use of the palace, that year there was not even silver frost charcoal in the palace, and the palace maids were smoked with black charcoal to tears, celebrating the end of the event

All canceled, Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, a bowl of thin porridge for one person and one person in the civil and military hundred officials, even the emperor and the maiden are no exception.

Up to now, the border army has abundant food and clothing, and they are particularly strong in fighting, and the surrounding land has been submissive, but all men who have some ambitions to make contributions are looking forward to conquering overseas.

This is far away, and it is said that Qingsong and Wenwa went to Liaodong to do errands, although the road was harder, in the end, they could get the credit, and Chen Bin took care of them.

If you change to other bosses, or you don't want to use them when you see them at a young age, or you are afraid that Song Haonian will not dare to use your doting brother-in-law, then Qingsong really wants to be abolished in Jinyiwei, and I am afraid that I will have to rob others of their merits to be promoted.

How can the credit that can be snatched can last long? The emperor pays attention to the green pine, and when the time comes, he can see through it at a glance, and he can't eat from top to bottom and walk around.

Therefore, Qingsong Wenwa and the two went out, although the family was suspenseful, they couldn't help but let them go.

Qingsong has a daughter-in-law, and Yueniang writes letters home from time to time, and the family can still get news. Wenwa is a bachelor, and she hasn't heard from her for a few months, so it's no wonder that his mother is in such a hurry.

Lily simply took out the top priority in Wenwa's heart and said to her: "Yueniang wrote a letter, saying that her sister-in-law wants to talk to Wenwa about a girl, whether it can be done depends on your mother-in-law who is not satisfied." ”

Sure enough, Wen Waniang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "What kind of girl?"

Lily thought for a while, opened the box and took the letter and said, "I'll tell you slowly." The letter made it clear. Xu Caiwen was born in the countryside, and he didn't have a brother-in-law who was the king of the county, but he was like a brother to Qingsong, and he had a good relationship with Mu San

。 His marriage is really a bit high or low: the daughter of a scholar's family, I am afraid that people will not look down on him as a coarse martial artist and refuse to marry the daughter of a merchant family, and I am afraid that the family will take a fancy to his status as a brocade guard and be opportunistic. The door is too low

, for him to not help the door in the future is too high, and people don't look down on him.

Therefore, Yueniang's sister-in-law has been optimistic about each other for several months, and there is no one with all four corners.

Wenwa is not in a hurry, he said: "I am still living in Qingsong's house now, I can't even support my own family, people don't look down on me, and I can buy a small house in Beijing in another year or two, and I won't eat if I get married." ”

He thought that he was only in his twenties, and when Song Haonian married Lily, he was twenty-four or five miles, and although he got married late, his sister-in-law was stronger than the daughters-in-law in the town. Qingsong thought that even if he got married late, he would find a good girl.

He was not in a hurry, his mother was in a hurry, and he couldn't sleep all night, so he opened his eyes and said to Wenwa's father: "Last night I dreamed that my mother-in-law came to scold me and asked me why I didn't marry Wenwa's daughter-in-law, when will she see her great-grandson." ”

How many years did Grandma Wenwa die, Wenwa's mother taught her mother-in-law a lesson when she got married in her early years, and she trembled with fear when she saw her mother-in-law.

Wen Wa's father said: "Others are in the capital, they must marry a daughter-in-law in the capital, where is the girl in the capital easy to marry? Looking for a daughter-in-law in the countryside is simple, if you don't feel wronged by our son, just find one for him." ”

Wen Wa Niang naturally still expected Wen Wa to marry a girl from the capital, so she had to sniff and get up to work. Wenwa's father thought for a while, and finally bought a knife and paper to go to his mother's grave, squatted in front of the grave and said: "Mother, Wenwa's age is not too old, he will marry a good daughter-in-law in a few years, and there will be a bunch of dolls in a few years to call you Mrs. My daughter-in-law is timid, you

If you want to dream, come to me, don't scold her. ”

Yueniang's sister-in-law is also surnamed Li, Li's mother's family is an old family in Beijing, and she has moved from Nanjing to Beijing since she became an ancestor, and has not moved for hundreds of years.

Li's mother's family is now also a military household, and there are a few girls who can handle it, and what I want to say to Wenwa this time is the daughter of a cousin of Li's aunt.

Self-matchmakers, only say good things, don't say bad, you have three points of benefits, they can give you praise to ten points, Yueniang has never seen the girl, only wrote her sister-in-law's words as they were, and asked Wen Wa Niang to take her own ideas. Wen Waniang was stunned when she heard that it was Li's niece: "This generation is a little worse?"
