In the first year of Jinghe, the sixth day of the first month.

Xie Mingcheng took his daughter-in-law and children, Uncle Donkey, Cuicui, Hongyu, Leopard, Xuetuan, Daben, and Dapai back to Xingyue Villa. Also came with Xie Laoguogong, Xie Minglai, Han Ran, Han Zhi, and Han Zongliang.

The old man lives in the countryside most of the time, and even if his grandson's family doesn't come, he will come today.

Han Ran's three sisters and brothers had long said that they wanted to come to Xingyue Villa to play, so Jiang Yixi invited them. didn't invite Han Zonglu, he and Miss Wen Ba got married in early March, and they have been busy with marriage.

Cintius Senga Enko. Because there was no autumn test held last year, this year's autumn test will be added together with next year's spring test.

Xie Minglai will be out this year. He has been working hard and wants to come to the countryside to relax for two days.

Relaxation is just an excuse for him, he just wants to be with his second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law is not at home, and the house seems to have no sunshine.

He was embarrassed to say that the second sister-in-law was like a mother, an eldest sister, and a confidant to him. Whenever he was in trouble and pain, it was his second sister-in-law who made him regain his happiness and confidence......

Xie Mingcheng also made an appointment with Zhao Chang's family, Zhao Chang has something to do today and will bring his little sister tomorrow. Xie Mingzhen's due date in mid-February can't come.

Han Wan got out of the carriage. The mountain breeze is clear, and the flat-topped mountain is covered in silver, shining golden in the sun.

She hadn't been here for three months, and she was still panicking.

She habitually looked at the mule slope.

It was snowy, clean and solemn.

After staring for a moment, Han Guan's gaze moved upwards again. The sky was blue and far away, the sun was dazzling, and a few birds were flying freely.

She counted them, and there were four.

It would be nice if only one disappeared suddenly.

"Mother, what are you looking at?"

The two tigers and Han Ran's siblings who got out of the car came to Han Guan's side, and they all followed Han Guan's gaze to the sky above the mule slope.

"Nothing but a few birds." Han Zongliang said.

Xie Mingcheng knew what Han Guan was looking at. Laughed and said, "You still see nothing." ”

Han Wan also laughed, retracted his gaze, and looked at Shuangyi Villa again.

In the sunshine, two five or six-year-old boys led two three or four-year-old girls out of the corner door.

Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, the little boy has grown into a young man, and the little girl has grown into a big girl.

The two tigers ran to pinch their sister's little face, and then ran to the village with the little girl and Xuetuan's mother and son, as well as gifts from the Feng family, the Fang family, the Sun family and other good people.

Han Zongliang followed behind and shouted, "Wait for the second uncle......

Xie Laoguo took Uncle Donkey to the village and said, "Don't wait for me for dinner." ”

The old man has already mingled with the villagers, and it is common to eat at the Feng family, the Fang family, and the Ma family.

Cuicui, dressed in white, and the leopard ran towards the mountain, and Ruby followed.

Han Wan picked up Hongyu, patted its little buttocks and said, "You're still young, go when you grow up." ”

Nuan Nuan saw her brother and the animals all run away at once, her little mouth deflated, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Xie Mingcheng couldn't see his daughter being wronged, so he took it from the nurse's arms, kissed her little face and coaxed her in a low voice.

The people went to the back door and went to the main courtyard.

Mama Chun celebrated the New Year at her own house in the countryside, and knew that her master was going back to Zhuangzi today, so she took her daughter-in-law and her subordinates to make dinner.

The little hammer was guarding the gate of the main courtyard, and when he saw them coming, he ran forward and kowtowed to the New Year.

"I wish you a long life, good health, peace and joy."

Chunshan's family of three is free, and Jiang Yi regrets letting Xiao Hammer call his aunt and Uncle Xie Mingcheng. Uncle Chun, Mama Wu, and Chunshan were all unwilling, and felt that they had lost their duty.

Little Hammer was already more than three years old, black and strong, wearing a red satin robe, looking like a child of four or five years old.

Han Guan and Xie Mingcheng each took out a big red envelope for him.

Xiao Hammer took the red envelope and stood up, looking at Xiao Nuannuan with big eyes. grinned, "My mother is also pregnant with a little sister." ”

Haruyama's daughter-in-law is pregnant again?

Han Guan is sincerely happy for Mama Chun's family.

After a few people entered the house and washed up, the meal was put on the table.

Two tables were set, one table of two brothers of the Xie family and one table of three sisters of the Han family.

Jiang Yixi asked Xiao Hammer to eat with them.

Feng Can walked in and said with a smile, "My father left the old lady and the two tigers to have dinner at my house, and invited Master Xie, Sixth Master Xie, Senior Sister, Miss Han, and Nuan Nuan to go to my house for dinner." ”

When Xiao Hammer heard this, he quickly slid off the round bench and ran to Feng's house.

Xie Mingcheng and Han Guan accepted the invitation.

After the meal, Xie Mingcheng went to Feng's house for tea, and Han Wan went to the Xiangu Hall with gifts to visit the two old ladies.

Xie Minglai proposed to visit the Xishan monks again, but Han Wan refused very firmly.

Han Ran and Han Zhi asked Xie Ming for advice on blowing the flute and playing the piano, and they specially brought the flute and piano.

Afraid of affecting Xiao Nuan's rest, a few people went to the west house of Guiyuan.

Xie Liugongzi, who has excellent homework, excellent music, and elegant and handsome, is now admired by almost all girls. Being able to have him guide the piano is a dream of the girls.

Because of Han Guan's relationship, the Han Ran sisters occasionally got the guidance of Xie Liugongzi, which made many girls envious.

As the sun set, Han Wan came out of the Xiangu Palace.

She was in a good mood and had a smile in her eyes.

Qingshan Yuanjun and Xishan Jushi hardly saw any outsiders, and today they met Han Guan. Han Wan chose to be an invisible person, sitting on the side and listening quietly.

There was light smoke wafting from the incense burner, and two old ladies were talking about the Tao and the piano, and occasionally stroking a song.

Maybe they have lived lonely for most of their lives, but now they have finally found their soulmates, they are in a good mood, their bodies are getting better, and the two old sick seedlings have become energetic all of a sudden.

Han Wan hopes that they can be happy in their old age.

As soon as she walked into the back door of Xingyue Villa, she faintly heard the ensemble of the piano and flute "Dongting Falling Geese." ”

The music is soothing and melodious.

Han Wan is sure that the person who plays the piano is definitely not Han Zhi, she will not play so habitually and pleasantly.

It must be Xie Minglai.

When he came to Guiyuan, Jiang Yixi did not go to the main courtyard, but walked into the upper room lightly.

The door of the West House was wide open, Han Ran stood with his back to the door and played the flute, and Xie Minglai sat with his back to the west window and stroked the piano. Han Zhi sat at the round table, holding his cheek with one hand and listening quietly.

The bright sunlight poured in through the glass windows, and Xie Mingcheng was like a fairy stroking the piano in the golden light.

He wore a bamboo-leaf blue wide-sleeved robe with a slightly loose robe and a dark hair tied to the top of his head with a hosta. The slender white fingers plucked the strings, the thin lips were slightly hooked, and there was a slight smile on the feminine and handsome face.

The child has gradually come out of the haze of losing his mother.

Han Ran wore a light golden peach flowering gown and a red horse-faced skirt. The clothes fit well, outlining the graceful figure of the girl.

Han Wan smiled even deeper, unwilling to disturb them, and dodged to the side to listen to the piano.

After the song ended, Han Zhi clapped his hands and said, "It's good, it's really good." ”

Xie Minglai raised his head and said with a smile, "Second Miss Han has made progress again." ”

Han Ran smiled with crooked eyebrows, she practiced very hard, that is, she hoped that one day, she would make a song with Xie Liugongzi, and it would not drag down Xie Liugongzi's good piano skills.

She did it today.

She smiled, "Thanks to the guidance of my master and Xie Liugongzi, the little girl has benefited a lot. ”

After saying that, she also curtched her knees.

Han Zhi suddenly discovered a new continent and smiled at Han Ran, "Second sister, I think you look more and more like the eldest sister the longer you get, especially the side." Oops, how am I not that much alike. ”

It is the glory of the Han family to look like Han Guan. Aunt Mrs. Li not only said that she herself looked like Han Guan, but also said that her granddaughter was like. Mrs. Bao also said that her granddaughter was like, and the people in the second, fourth, and fifth rooms of the Han family all said that they had a certain and such a statue.

Everyone has to admit that the one who really looks most like Han Wan is Han Ran.

Xie Minglai glanced at Han Ran carefully. Autumn water bright eyes, delicate facial features, really similar to the second sister-in-law. The big difference is temperament, the second sister-in-law is casual and elegant, and the second Han girl is gentle and shy.

He couldn't help but flush, and quickly looked away to see Han Wan walking into the house with a smile.

"Second sister-in-law."

Xie Minglai smiled even deeper.

"Big sister."

Han Ran and Han Zhi greeted with a smile.

Han Wan said with a smile, "Not only is Ran'er beneficial, but Minglai is also beneficial." I listened to Xishan Jushi today and created a song of his own, which is very good. She said that it is not mature yet, and when it is mature, I will leave it to you, and you are responsible for pushing Qu'er to the whole beam. ”

Let Xie Minglai carry forward the works of Xishan Jushi, the two of them have their own pleasure, and Xie Minglai can also be regarded as atoning for Bai Su.

Xie Minglai was overjoyed. I can't see the Xishan monks, and the first time to play the music made by the Xishan monks is also a great blessing.

Han Ran was also happy for Xie Minglai. He said with a smile in his eyebrows, "I'll congratulate Sixth Prince Xie first." ”

Han Wan was amused, there was no shadow yet, Xiao Nizi congratulated her first.

She looked at Xie Minglai and Han Ran. A jade tree is in the wind, handsome and unparalleled. A small and feminine, graceful like water.

Although Han Ran was only a little taller than Xie Minglai's shoulders, the two stood together very well, without any disobedience. Moreover, the two have common hobbies and are both good children with good conduct......

The disadvantages are also obvious.

Xie Minglai's disadvantage is that he is sentimental, and he has a father who drags the whole family back and doesn't know what to do. Han Ran's disadvantage is that she is too soft and does not have many opinions.

But Han Ran is empathetic, gentle and considerate, and will feel distressed, so she can give Xie Minglai spiritual comfort. And Xie Minglai has a tough heart and can hold up a piece of heaven for Han Ran.

The key is Xie Mingcheng and himself, who will help them in due course.

It's just that in ancient times, political marriages were emphasized. Cousins marrying cousins are good pawns that waste marriage.

If they are interested in it, they will find a way to make it happen.

Xie Minglai is already sixteen years old, and it is time to say goodbye, but it will not be said until three years after the death of Mrs. Xie San, that is, next year.

Han Ran is fourteen years old, and the Han family has been looking for good relatives for her. There are many families who propose marriage to Xiao Nizi, but the Han family feels sorry for their daughter, and they want to find a family with a decent background, a promising future life, and a good character. It is not easy to find this kind of family, as a Han family girl who is not very high.

A few people laughed and went to the main courtyard.

Didn't see Nuan Nuan.

Han Wan asked, "What about Nuan Nuan?" ”

Mi Zhu smiled, "My sister was taken by the two brothers to be a guest at the Feng family." ”

Han Wan said to Han Ran and Han Zhi, "Go to the Feng family to play with Sister Yue, I'll talk to Ming, and I'll go later." ”

She took Xie Minglai to the east side room, and Uncle Chun and the two mothers-in-law brought a few ornaments, a few brocade boxes, two pianos, and a jade flute.

These things were all "given" to Han Guan by Mrs. Xie San before she died.

Xie Minglai didn't know what to mean, so he picked up the jade flute first, saw the word "Qiong" engraved in one place, and exclaimed, "This is Qiongyin?" ”

He looked at the piano again, and the word "Joan" was also engraved in the corner of one of the pianos.

He had already heard that his mother had spent a lot of money on these two instruments of Qiongyin when she was young, and it was the first time he had seen them. After my mother died, my father searched for these two things but couldn't find them, and I don't know where my mother was hiding.

Why is it here in the second sister-in-law?

Han Guan said, "These two pianos and this jade flute were given to me by your mother before she died, and she also gave some others. She did this, because your father had done something bad before, and she was afraid that the things would be confiscated if they were exposed, so I asked me to help keep them. Wait until the limelight is over and then take it back.

"Who knew that she suddenly fell ill and left. Your father and eldest brother are not talented, and I think these things should be handed over to you. You keep it, just tell them. In addition, I have a reluctant request, I like this jade flute very much, can you give it to me? ”

Han Guan wanted to let these two things see the light, so he handed over the qin to Xie Minglai, and the dong flute to Erhu.

She returned these two things to Aunt Zhou before, but Aunt Zhou confiscated them.

She knew that Aunt Zhou definitely didn't want these two things to fall into the hands of Yu Yin's descendants. She still took it upon herself to return the piano to Xie Minglai, but only when this piano was in Xie Minglai's hands could it be regarded as not letting the pearl be dusted. Moreover, Xie Minglai is a good boy with good conduct, not like Yuyin at all.

When Mrs. Xie San gave Han Guan ornaments and pianos, not many people knew about it, but some people knew. Han Wan wanted to give these things to Xie Ming as a private house before, but she was afraid that if this matter came out, others would say that she was greedy for the three-room property.

The silver ticket was unknown to others, so she withheld 8,000 taels of silver and waited for Xie Ming to return it to him in the name of the second brother and sister-in-law after they got married.

Xie Minglai didn't hesitate, and presented the jade flute with both hands, "The second sister-in-law likes it, so the jade flute will stay." ”

Han Guan took the jade flute and opened several brocade boxes, which contained jewelry and a few silver tickets totaling two thousand taels.

Xie Minglai is not good at housework, and he also knows that the whole family of Sanfang is not much more than these.

He shook his head and said, "These things should be handed over to my grandfather and grandmother, and the family took tens of thousands of taels of silver to my father to plug the hole, but these things are far less." After thinking about it, he said, "Qin and Xiao also said that their grandfather and grandmother gave it to my second sister-in-law and me." ”

Han Guan guessed that Xie Minglai would do this. But he was relieved that he did. How could people like Bai Su and Master Xie San give birth to such a kind and selfless good child.

Han Wan smiled, "Okay, just do it." ”

After talking, the two went to Feng's house together.

In the evening, Han Guan told Xie Minglai about the conversation with Xie Minglai.

And said, "Do you think Minglai and Ran'er are not a good match?" ”

Xie Mingcheng never thought of putting those two together. After thinking about it seriously, he smiled, "It's really a good match." ”

Han Guan said, "I think they have a good impression of each other, you will find out the tone tomorrow, and say that there are many people who say that Ran'er is now kissing." If Minglai doesn't mean that, forget it, if Minglai is interesting, Ran'er's family affairs will be put aside. ”

Early the next morning, the two tigers and Han Zongliang went to the village to play with Xiao Snot and Ma Dan.

Sister Han Wan took Nuan Nuan and Hongyu to the old courtyard and watched Mama Chun and others prepare barbecue ingredients.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the noise behind the courtyard became louder, and it was the children who ran to the path between the two villages to wait for the little sisters.

Xiao Nuannuan likes to join in the fun, and when she heard the voice pointing in that direction, she screamed "ahhhhhhhh

The little girl is often taken to the car space, is in very good health, and is almost not sick at half a year old.

Han Ran took her with a smile and went with Han Zhi.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the children's voices became louder, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves and the wheels of cars.

Zhao Chang's family is back.

Han Wan asked people to take the ingredients to Guiyuan. I also invited the Feng family, and several families will have dinner here.

As soon as they arrived in Guiyuan, Zhao Jiaer and Zhao Haoer came, one hugging Han Wan and the other arm coquettishly.

Han Wan compared their heights, stroked their little faces, and said with a smile, "I've grown taller again." ”

After a while, Zhao Chang and Xie Mingzhen came. Xie Mingzhen has a big belly, and she has gained a lot of weight.

Han Guan first gave Zhao Chang a curtsiness and complained to Xie Mingzhen, "You're about to give birth, why did you come here?" ”

Xie Mingzhen pouted coquettishly, "They are all gone, am I sad at home alone." ”

She didn't want to get along with Concubine He alone.

Zhao Hao'er smiled, "The mother concubine is coquettish to her aunt again." ”

Zhao Chang was very happy.

Zhao Chang was brightly dressed and wore a mirror. In winter, I still like to wear Xuanjing, and the Liang Dynasty is the only one.

Han Ran has designed a mirror suitable for women to wear, and the glass factory has begun to manufacture it, and it will be launched this summer.

The old man and Xie Mingcheng who came from the outer courtyard also frowned and blamed Xie Mingzhen for a few words. Xie Minglai glanced at Han Ran with a red face, and then at Han Guan.

Han Guan saw that this kid must be interested in Han Ran, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

The Feng family came over, and everyone had a barbecue.

In the morning, the adults drank tea and chatted, and the children played with the animals in the yard.

The men are in the hall room, the women are in the side room, and the door is not closed.

Zhao Chang turned his head sideways and said to Han Guan, "When the yamen is sealed, we will be even busier." ”

Xie Ming admitted, "Your Majesty has started to reform?" ”

Zhao Chang nodded.

Han Ran walked over.

Zhao Chang said again, "Your Majesty has great ambitions. This reform started with our household department. ”

However, any reform will inevitably touch the interests of some people and be resisted by conservatives.

Han Guan is only responsible for formulating relevant financial decrees and systems, and the implementation and game are the reformers such as Zhao Chang to do. Zhao Chang is now not only in charge of the household department, but also in the cabinet. In his previous life, he belonged to the advisers who had real power in both the State Council and the Ministry of Finance, and he was also the brains behind the biggest leaders.

However, Han Guan, as the main formulator, will definitely not be able to run away from being scolded or even impeached.

Zhao Chang smiled again and asked, "Is Lord Han afraid?" ”

The new emperor has great ambitions, Han Wan was put in this position, she has the ability, and she has a strong family backing, she is willing to contribute to the development of this world.

Han Wan smiled, "If you are not afraid, I will not be afraid." ”

Xie Mingcheng looked at Han Guan, he really didn't want his daughter-in-law to work so hard. But the emperor appreciates it, Han Wan is willing, and it is up to her.

Moreover, Xie Mingcheng also longs for the world of Han Guan's previous life. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and no one can stop them.
