Chapter 104: Shen's Pregnancy
Ming Qian wore a brocade robe made of pearls, and the robe had dark patterns of bamboo. There is a piece of mutton fat jade jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a jasper hairpin is inserted on his head. Although Pearl has a big belly, she also has to sit on the kang to entertain guests.
Pearl wore a turquoise peony phoenix pattern cocoon brocade shirt today, jade jewelry on her head, a red gold inlay jewel ring around her neck, a lapis lazuli bracelet on her wrist, a topaz diamond ring and a sapphire ring.
White chubby, white chubby. Ming Qian laughed at her when he came back. Pearl used violence directly against her husband.
Ming Qian wants to go to the capital to live for three years, three years later, whether to stay in the capital or to go out, it's hard to say, after the banquet, Ming Qian went to his father-in-law's house again, and also visited Zhou County Ling, anyway, Zhou County Ling helped Ming Qian and the Ming family. Pearl specially found two bags of good tea from the southern specialties sent by Qu Wang to Zhou Xianling, in addition, he also sent two boxes of dim sum and two bottles of high-end wine in porcelain bottles. Two brocades. I also sent a pair of jade jade pendants and a set of red gold inlaid jewelry, which was sent by the Hou Mansion, and the pearl looked at the gems and looks like they were not as good as their own jewelry, so I gave them away this time.
When Mingqian came back in the evening, the couple had a chance to talk,
"How is the child?"
"Good, I'm very good now." Pearl said coquettishly,
Ming Qian smiled and reassured, "Wait, just wait until you are born." Give me another girl! Well? ”
Pearl wants to say, is this something I can say and forget about it? But Pearl said, "Yes! I also like my daughter. We have a son in our family, and if we have another daughter, we can just make up the word 'good'. ”
Mingqian was obviously also intrigued by this idea, and began to discuss the name with Pearl. I gave several names, but I was not satisfied, and then Pearl was really sleepy and wanted to sleep, and said to her husband,
"You take your time, and when the child is born, you can use it. Look at how hard you've come up with a name. It's harder than I have to have a baby. "Pearl remembered his son's name, which made Mingqian entangled for a long time,
"Of course not, don't worry. I'll write a name tomorrow for you to choose. Apparently Mingqian also remembered what happened last time.
"By the way, how did you become the champion, I don't think those old pedants value you, right?" Is it that easy to get the top spot? There must be a problem,
Ming Qian coughed and said. "The topic of the temple examination is about water control. I answered quickly. It just so happened that the emperor took a fancy to it, and asked me to write another one. The emperor was very satisfied with the two volumes, and he chose me as the champion. ”
Pearl sighed in her heart, her husband is really amazing! Someone else makes one, he makes two, and the content will definitely not be repeated. won the emperor's praise, and naturally became the champion.
Pearl said in a daze, "I wanted to see you cross the streets!" ”
"Don't you watch it every day?" Ming Qian smiled,
"Naturally, I carried a basket on my back to pick up flowers. Maybe I can pick up handkerchiefs and purses, and even better if I throw you gold, silver, or copper coins. With that, Pearl fell asleep completely.
Mingqian: ......
This woman is really not afraid of big things, if you throw gold, silver or copper coins to them, at that time the scenery or anything is not daring to think about it, if you don't hit the bag, that's not bad, hit the body or the head, there is no difference between bricks and gold and silver. It's all damn things.
When Zhou Jian was dealing with Zhang's affairs, for the sake of everyone's reputation, he kept it secret, and of course it was Ming Qian's face. Later, Xiao Wang's family was plundered. Zhou Jian also came forward to solve the incident of Ping's wife. These two things have to be appreciated by Ming Qian.
Ming Qian won the champion this time, and Zhou Jian was also very happy in his heart, and the things he sent were very wrong, especially the tea. It's a good thing, it's so expensive that you can't even buy it with money. There are also brocades and that set of jewelry, which are very beautiful, and you can imagine how happy the lady must be to send them to her hometown. There is also that pair of jade pendants, the literati did not dislike jade ornaments, Zhou Jian fiddled with them for several days before asking his subordinates to send these things back to their hometowns, only snacks, and they were distributed to his subordinates to eat. Zhou Jian is considered a clean official, so the things worth a thousand taels are still things that can be collected, but he is very satisfied.
Ming Qian won the champion, and the benefits of the Ming family are also great, because many people with fields have taken refuge in their family, because Ming Qian's family is tax-free, and at that time, the Ming family has harvested some grain from the other party every year. It's a good thing for everyone. You must know that the tax collected by the imperial court is one-tenth of the tax! The happiest are Ming He and Ming Youshou, and their family is a real landlord.
Pearl calculated that the land they received could allow the Ming family to earn more than 500 taels of silver a year. In addition, Ming Qian won the champion, and there were a lot of gifts from all parties, some from the village, as well as from the rich landlords and squires in the town, and the county magistrate also sent an agenda of one hundred taels on behalf of the government. The Ming family bought another hundred acres of fertile land, and the family's income will be more.
The next day, the family worships the ancestors. Then Mingqian went out to visit around, and the Zhang family didn't go, but went directly to the academy, and Pearl prepared snacks for Mingqian, good wine, sausages and beef jerky, as well as four brocades and two jade pendants.
Liu Gui and Mingde were both there, and Pearl also asked Mingqian to bring them all the clothes he had prepared.
The fields have already been planted, and Mingqian can just bring Mingde and Liu Gui back, because the Dragon Boat Festival is about to be celebrated. Naturally, I want to go home for the holidays. During this year's Dragon Boat Festival, Pearl plans to wrap some zongzi. The Dragon Boat Festival in the north is generally eaten with eggs, and glutinous rice and zongzi leaves are difficult to see.
Pearl asked people to buy it in Zhuozhou City, bought 200 catties of glutinous rice, part of it was made into zongzi, and the rest was made into dim sum later. I also bought jujubes, bean paste, and pearls also made braised pork and sausages.
Shen's pregnancy is very good, and he feels happy every day with his belly dangling in front of Xiao Wang's family. It didn't take long for me to hear that Xiao Wang's was pregnant again, and she was one month younger than Shen's. At this moment, the old man Ming, the Shen family, and the Ming Youshou family were all angry, and Ming and the family law were all executed. Shen felt uncomfortable, but he was more worried that Minghe would be infected with illness.
Xiao Wang just had a miscarriage and was pregnant, which is not a good thing for both the pregnant woman and the child, doesn't Xiao Wang know that it is dangerous to do so?
Mingqian came back with Mingde, Liu Gui saw his sister, ate, and hurried home, Pearl saw Liu Gui's face was good, it seems that this Zhang family has a really big impact on him, Liu Gui has been aggrieved for a long time. Now it's relaxing.
When Mingqian came back, he ran with his son, and the two of them played with the wooden horse and the slide in the yard, which was Huairen's favorite. In the evening, Mingqian would massage Pearl's feet, and even though Pearl had already taken calcium supplements, her feet still cramped.
The zongzi made of pearls are very popular, the pearls have made a lot, and they have sent a lot to their mothers, and then, Sanniu is definitely a good deal, asked about the pearl method, and then before the Dragon Boat Festival, I heard that the income is not bad!
There are a lot of zongzi, and the Shen family also followed the bag, so she sent some to her mother's family, and she didn't go back for the holidays, last time because of Shen Juhua's matter, there was a conflict between the Shen family and the Shen family. I heard that the wound on Shen Juhua's forehead has healed, but if you don't look carefully, you can't see it.
A few days later, Mingxin got married, and Mingqian happened to be there, which can be regarded as earning a lot of face for Ming Youcai and his wife. Pearl also went, and stayed for a while before going back.
After returning home, Pearl said that she wanted to sleep, so she entered the space, and now that her husband is an official, clothes, shoes and socks naturally have to be prepared. Pearl had already started to prepare, making six sets of summer dresses, four pairs of shoes, and three pairs of boots. After entering the space, Pearl's body felt comfortable, and she could embroider more things, and wait for Pearl to finish her work. That's when it came out of space. Then go to sleep. The finished robes were wrapped around the bedside.
The official naturally has to have entertainment, the silver given last time, Ming Qian is still enough to spend, for fear of giving gifts, so Pearl thought, he can also prepare these gifts, the warehouse at home and the jade and mutton fat jade flower arrangements, ornaments, etc., gilt silverware, all kinds of porcelain, bronze, precious classics, calligraphy and paintings, and the four treasures of the study, etc., there are many, this time you can bring it to Ming Qian, plus yourself for so long, a total of four large embroidery pictures and six small pictures. It can be made into small interstitial screens and screens, and there are a lot of red sandalwood and ebony on Zhuangzi, which is the best to make a base. Because it is made by his wife, it is best to give it to someone who has no money. (To be continued.) )
