Liu's group had five carriages with carriages and eight horse-drawn flatbed carts, which were stacked with grain, which brought everything that should have been brought with them.

Liu's legs were soft when she got out of the carriage, and she had been sitting for a long time, but her heart was hot, because she knew that Chen Xiuyan was pregnant, and her uncle Chen Zhong had also found it, which was really the biggest joy of the year.

"Mother." Chen Xiuyan came to pick up the person in person, the weather has been good these days, there is no snow, and the ground is not slippery, she doesn't need to be supported by Mama Mu when she walks.

"Eh, slow down, slow down." Liu smiled when he saw Chen Xiuyan, "I can't see my stomach if you are thickly dressed, look at your face is so good, it seems that you have a good pregnancy." ”

"Mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law......" Chen Xiuyan smiled and called all the mother's family smoke, several children seemed to have grown a little bigger, Chen Xiuyan smiled and touched their heads one by one.

"Little sister (aunt)."

"Eh, mother, let's go eat some hot food first, and let people send things to the house first, and I'll personally send you to Chen's house later."

The main food is prepared with a good and light vegetable porridge, drink a few bowls hot, and serve it with some delicately made pumpkin cakes, refreshing pickles, etc., a satisfying and fulfilling meal.

"It's better to eat some liquid food these days to digest, and then eat meat in a few days, and we'll be together for the New Year this year."

"Okay." Liu Shi feels that everything is enough now, but he is also a little worried in his heart, after all, it is a strange place, and he doesn't know what to do in the future.

"Then I'm not alone, I'll go to the door when you're settled." Mrs. Yuan was very happy with the arrival of the Liu family, and there were more people walking around, and they knew the roots, just like in Luojiatang Village.

After the Liu family finished eating, Chen Xiuyan wanted to take them to see the house, but the face was not very good after the long journey, so Chen Xiuyan sent them back to the house.

"Dad thinks that you can arrive in a few days, go to the house every day, take advantage of the good weather to dry the quilt, sweep the dust in the house, burn charcoal pots and kangs, and think that you can live directly when you arrive." Chen Xiuyan explained.

Of course, Chen Xiuyan let the two servants follow Chen Dazhong, how could he make him tired.

The carriage traveled for a quarter of an hour to an alley, and after a few turns, Liu got off the carriage and looked at the vermilion gate that had just been painted red, and the high walls, which made people like this house.

"This, that's so big." Liu Shi looked at the façade and exclaimed, "This house is not cheap." ”

"Look inside."

After a few knocks on the door, someone came to open it, and when he saw Chen Xiuyan, he saluted and said hello, and then called Liu and his party with a smile, the first time they were called old lady, and the Liu family was dizzy.

The house is two into it, but there is an inverted seat room in the front yard, there are five rooms enough, the front yard is not big, walk a few steps to the hanging flower door, the hanging flower door is connected with the hand verandah, string up the east and west wings, the yard of the backyard is very large, there are rockeries, flowers, trees, etc., even the well, the countertop, etc. are complete.

"Wow, that's nice, it's stronger than my old house." Liu touched here and looked there, Chen Dazhong walked out of the main room with a rag, and was very happy to see that everyone in the family had come.

"The room seems to be the same as what we have at home, the eldest family has the east wing, the second family has the west wing, I live with your mother in the main room, one is reserved for Xiuyan, and the other is reserved for your uncle."

"There are not enough guests to stay, there are still many rooms in the front yard, we have cleaned them, and we have burned the kang, which is not damp at all." Chen Dazhong is very satisfied with this house, so he always has time to take a look at it every day.

The Liu family looked at every room, and then began to clean up their rooms, Chen Xiuyan didn't stay long, didn't make trouble for them, and went back first.

When Chen Xiuyan went home, she didn't expect Luo Wenqian to be there.

"Mother, they've arrived." Luo Wenqian was a little tired and drank two cups of tea in succession.

"Outside the city is badly affected?" Chen Xiuyan sat down and asked carefully.

"It's okay these days, taking advantage of the good weather to build strong houses, and the outside of the city is good, and the situation reported by many counties is more serious, especially in the north, and the snow has not stopped." Luo Wenqian was a little worried, there was a drought this summer, and there was a snow disaster in winter, and I don't know if it was not going well this year.

"I'm going to donate something these days." Luo Wenqian said, "The government officials started first, and we followed with some donations, mainly relying on merchants." ”

"It will be sent to the disaster-stricken counties before the year, so that the people can have a good year." Luo Wenqian said, "Don't worry too much, in general, it's okay, this year's autumn harvest is quite passable, send it a year ago, how can it last until next year, it's just that the snow has collapsed a lot of houses, I just hope that the snow won't fall again, otherwise the disaster will be big." ”

"I heard that other places have been more seriously affected, and this year's grain taxes have not been reduced, just to fill the disaster in other places, and this year is not going well." Luo Wenqian said helplessly.

"I just hope that people from nowhere else will come." Chen Xiuyan understood Luo Wenqian's words, and those who moved were generally disaster victims.

"Let me donate more food, as well as cloth and cotton, which are necessary for the people." Chen Xiuyan had already thought about it, and immediately asked people to go to Wufu to inquire, and they had to check it.

The next day, Chen Xiuyan donated five stones of grain, mostly coarse grain, 30 horses of coarse cloth, and 100 catties of cotton.

These things were sent to various places by trusted officials in the government in groups, and they also watched these things distributed to the people in various counties, and Taiyuan Mansion was talked about by the people for a while.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the family received a letter from Luo Mingqing, and they arrived in Yijiang County smoothly, afraid of being blocked by the snow in the middle of the road, so they hurried all night, arrived a few days early, and the next days were to recuperate.

The Cai family was the first to know the news of Luo Mingqing's arrival in Yijiang County, because they personally came to the door to send the New Year's Elixir, and they wanted the Cai family to see their hearts and prepare for welcoming their relatives in advance.

Mrs. Cai was very happy, and made a lot of delicious food for her future son-in-law, and her impression of him was getting better and better, I heard that Luo Mingqing lived alone in Luojiatang, and she also sent a lot of dumplings and frozen tofu wrapped at home, which was convenient for Luo Mingqing to eat.

In addition to the Cai family, Luo Mingqing also went to visit the Wang Mansion in person, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang were very happy, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang were stunned to leave Luo Mingqing at home for the New Year.

Wang Yayu only got married after the New Year, and this year Wang Yajie did not come back to stay in the capital for the New Year, of course Luo Mingqing did not stay, and accompanied Lord Wang to drink a lot of dizzy home.

Luo Mingqing was not very sober and had nothing to do, there were Wei 12 who were there, and a few people were arrested at home that night, three men and one woman, a family, in order to let the daughter of the family climb Luo Mingqing's bed.

After asking, I found out that it was the maiden niece of a daughter-in-law in Luojiatang Village, and Luo Mingqing, who was so frightened that he woke up, lived in the county seat the next day.
