Eve sat opposite Lan Yi and looked at her with a smile, "I haven't seen her for half a year, my sister is getting more and more smart, and her height has also become a little taller, but it is really the eighteenth change of a female university." ”

Lan Yi looked at her plump and warm face due to pregnancy, her more calm and confident beautiful eyes and her belly that was already bulging, and her tone was brisk, "Sister is the one who has changed a lot, I see that this pregnancy is a lot fatter than the last time I was pregnant with Xiao Jinbao." ”

Xia Wan touched her chin worriedly, and her slightly hoarse voice was a little worried, "You also found out?" But no, a few days ago, your brother-in-law invited Xun Langzhong to come to check the pulse, saying that he wanted me to eat less and walk more, so as not to suffer during childbirth. It's all your brother-in-law, who has eaten too much soup and water every day in the past few months, or is afraid of starving his good daughter. ”

Xun Langzhong is a famous doctor in Meixian County, and he has good medical skills, and Mi Yichaote personally invited him to come over every month to diagnose Xia Wan's pulse. Since learning that his wife was pregnant, Mi Yichao had a god-like intuition, thinking that she must be pregnant with a daughter this time, and screamed "good daughter, good daughter" to Xia Wan's stomach every day, although there were still two months before childbirth, she had prepared a lot of daughters' names and discussed them with Xia Wan early, thinking that any of them were good, and she felt that none of them were very satisfied, which made Xia Wan cry and laugh.

"Why don't you see your brother-in-law and little Jinbao?" Listening to Xia Wan complaining happily, she knew that their relationship between the couple had improved a lot in the past six months.

Xia Wan drank the clear soup brought by the nurse, and very elegantly touched the corners of her mouth with an embroidered brocade handkerchief, "He met friends in Fengxian Building today, and Jinbao followed noisily." Sister, thanks to you, my sister now has money to spare. Much looser. ”

Zhang Pingyu's Fengxian Building is the best restaurant in Meixian County, and naturally it is also the most expensive. Mi Yi is more than a poor person, and Xia Wan is from a wealthy businessman who brings a rich dowry. But there is a huge family to eat and wear, and it is also a little difficult to rely on the few Zhuangzi and shop pù who only rely on her to marry.

After partnering with Lan Yi to open the Qingshan Oil Mill, at the end of last year, Xia Shun only paid dividends and took back more than 2,400 yuan, which shocked Xia Wan and Mi Yichao. If you have money in your hand, you will naturally have more confidence, and Mi Yichao is no longer frugal when he meets with his colleagues and friends, and he is generous where he should spend money.

If it was before. Mi Yichao, who was born in a good citizen, looked down on his wife who was born in business, but since he began to jointly manage the Qingshan branch of Meixian County with her, his outlook has gradually changed. He even liked the sense of accomplishment that Shangji brought him, and last year's dividend made him more attentive to the affairs of the Huangshan branch. For Lan Yi, who brought them this kind of change, Mi Yichao was even more grateful and learned that she came over today. In particular, the mother-in-law at home was instructed to prepare meals well.

Speaking of Shang Ji. Lan Yi was not grateful to Xia Wan, "Sister, you said the opposite." At that time, I relied on being close to my sister, and with one mouth, I asked my sister to partner in opening an oil mill, and my sister agreed to give out the money. My sister knew that my sister agreed to come down mainly to help me improve my livelihood, and my sister was afraid that I would have no support in Huang County alone. deliberately gave the shares of the oil mill to the eldest brother and asked him to take care of one or two. If it weren't for my sister's capital. If it weren't for the support of Brother Xia, if it weren't for the hard work of Shopkeeper Xia's father and son, how could our business have developed so fast. ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, Xia Wanmei's eyes rolled, "My sister is always so polite, okay, let's not talk about it, if we continue to talk about it, it will seem that our sisters are angry." I wonder what my sister has been reading lately? ”

"It's still a collection of poems from the previous dynasty, and I always feel that I never get tired of reading it. However, after the beginning of spring, there is a lot of work in the fields and on the hillside, and I am soaked in the field during the day, even if I have free time, I am stared at by Aunt Yao to embroider the wedding dress, and the time left for reading is simply pitiful. "The wedding dress, which is said to be the simplest pattern, made Lan Yi suffer enough. Every time I mention it, I feel a headache in my fingers, which is not to say that she is disgusted with embroidery, but each pattern Jia Shi has to practice on the cloth before she can embroider it, which is very boring for the boring repetition of practicing stitching.

Xia Wan covered her mouth and smiled, "I know that you don't have the patience of this girl, but a woman's marriage is a lifelong event, and the wedding dress must not be sloppy at all, you still need to embroider well." Your brother-in-law has already waited for you and Zhou Bantou to get married, and we will take the two children back to attend your wedding. ”

Lan Yi looked at Xia Wan, who was as delicate as a pear blossom in spring, and touched her face again, "Sister will coax me." However, my sister's birth was in early April, if I want to rush back to attend my wedding, my sister can't take the boat, I'm afraid that I will go on the road as soon as I get out of the confinement, and the weather is hot in June, and it is not safe to rush on the road, so I might as well wait for the weather to be cool and then go back. ”

Generally, the daughter-in-law of the family has to be full-term to go out, and the rich and noble family has to sit for a month and a half to become a daughter-in-law. Xia Wan gave birth in early April, and it should be mid-May when she is out of confinement. Xia Wan was so seasick that she could only take a carriage, and she was afraid that she would not be able to go fast with her two children. Lan Yi remembered that when she first crossed over and returned to Meixian with her, she walked on the road for a month. This time, in order to catch up with Lan Yi's wedding on June 18, I am afraid that I am really going to prepare to leave after the confinement.

"My sister's marriage is a big deal, and my sister must go back." Xia Wan said with certainty, "Besides, I haven't been home to save my relatives for two years, and I've been thinking about going back for a long time." Your brother-in-law has been busy arranging all the affairs of the yamen recently, and he just wants to find time to accompany me back. ”

Although Mi Yichao is only from Bapin County, there are a lot of things every day, and it is not easy to squeeze out nearly two months to accompany his wife back to her parents' home.

"Sister, next year is the year of my brother-in-law's exam, is it okay for him to ask for leave to accompany you back?"

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has attached great importance to the examination of officials, stipulating that the time limit for the examination of officials shall be calculated according to the date of the official, and the examination shall be one examination for one person when he is one year old, and one person for the third examination, and there shall be a time limit for the grinding and promotion of different positions. The promotion of the county is three years, and in October this year, Mi Yichao will be the county of Meixian for three years, and this period of time is the critical period for him to enter the examination, and leaving for two months is afraid that it will not be conducive to promotion.

Xia Wan listened, and gratefully took Lan Yi's hand, "Although your brother-in-law has not made any merits in the past three years, he has no faults, and a humble official like him who has no foundation is hopeless for promotion." Thanks to my sister, your brother-in-law was able to say a few words in front of Li Tongju in Dengzhou last year, and Li Tongju appreciated him very much. ”

In August last year, the war king Guo Nanyuan went to Dengzhou, and because of Zhou Weiji, he specially went to Meixian County, accompanied by Li Jingang, a sentence from Dongpingtong. Mi Yichao felt that the opportunity was rare, and specially invited Xia Wan to entrust Lan Yi's way, and through Zhou Weiji's relationship, he was able to show his face in front of Guo Nanyuan and Li Jingang. Mi Yichao is not a sour scholar, he knows the way of being an official very well, and later had contact with Li Jingangduo, Li Jingang, as a judge from Wupin Dongping, can be regarded as his top boss. Now that he has said this to his wife, it seems that the promotion is a certainty. (To be continued......)
