Yan Mingqiao grabbed Ning's hand, "Grandmother, don't just ask the second sister, and me, you gave us Yufangzhai, you don't know how good the business is!" ”

Ning knew that the moon cakes were sent to Xiao Yang, and she still ate them, "You two sisters, you are the most capable." ”

The two of them accompanied Ning and Lao Guogong to dinner at Shou'an Hall at noon.

At the family banquet in the evening, Yan Mingqiao didn't eat much, Ning said a few words with a few grandchildren, and she always ignored the concubine.

The attitude towards Su Qiaohui has always been light, and after the family banquet is over, he asked the courtyards to only go to ask for peace on the first day of the new year, and the rest of the time is not necessary.

The Ning family knew that Yan Mingxuan was going out to study, and when he came back, he knew that Yan Guogong had a big quarrel with the Shen family because of this.

Why is this son so ungrown.

Shen Yuanjing also went on a study tour, he is ten years old this year, and said that he did not learn thoroughly, and he hoped to go out to see and gain something.

Yan Mingxuan is the eldest grandson, and he has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and Ning feels that there is nothing wrong with going out to see, so Yan Guogong shyly asked her to persuade Nian'an, but she did not agree.

"Mingxuan Mingyu is going to get married, Mingyu also married to Zhenbei Houfu, don't look at the current title of the Duke Mansion is higher than that of Zhenbei Houfu, but it is really compared to our high climbing. You are a father, you will be thirty-five years old during the Chinese New Year, and there are some things that you don't do in one go, and you have nowhere to regret it. ”

Chapter 54: Winter Moon

Yan Guogong frowned and said: "Mother, I can't be blamed for this, Nian'an has a strong temperament and is aggressive!" You see what Ming Ye is used to by her. If Mingxuan doesn't care about it, then it's even more lawless. ”

Yan Guogong also wanted the Ning family to persuade Shen Nian'an, who knew that the Ning family had this attitude......

Ning looked at this son who had high hopes, sighed helplessly, and said: "Nian'an is very good, whether it is a housekeeper or raising children, I can't find any mistakes."

I won't talk about you if you don't care much on weekdays, but don't point fingers at this time to make a mess. Why, the good ones are all in your charge, and if you make a slight mistake, it's Nian'an and the children, isn't it? ”

Some people are special for afterthought, and there are those who can't pass the exam, how difficult it is, and tens of thousands of people will only pass the exam.

The Ning family values the eldest grandson very much, although he is not as smart as Yan Mingze, but his temperament is much better than him.

As an heir, it's nice to be able to do that.

Ning Shi still took it when he spoke, "It's not nice to say, Ming Xuan didn't pass the exam, and he himself is anxious, if you don't comfort him, do you want to force him to death?" ”

How could Yan Guogong force his son to death, "I just want him to be more motivated......"

"Be motivated, you are a four-grade idle job, is Mingxuan forcing you to be motivated!"

At this point, Ming Xuan had already left Beijing, and the Ning family didn't want to say any more, "If you care more about him and don't run to newcomers, you won't be like this." ”

Su Qiaohui, Ning's family doesn't like it, she doesn't like the grandchildren born in the concubine's room, and it doesn't matter if she is pregnant or not.

"That Su Xiaoniang, forget about your duty, and send it away as soon as possible. Mingxuan is married, you still take a concubine, what kind of system! ”

Yan Guogong was red-faced when he was said, and he wanted to refute but didn't know what to say, "Mother, I ......"

Ning waved his hand and closed his eyes, meaning that he didn't want to speak.

Yan Guogong bowed his head appointingly and said, "My son is retiring." ”

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Yan Mingqiao still had a holiday, and stayed with Ning for half a day in the morning, feeding snacks to study, and went to Yumingxuan in the afternoon.

Yumingxuan has new food, tea eggs, especially delicious.

Tea eggs are also sold on the street, two pennies a piece, Yan Mingqiao has eaten it, but the taste is average, and she doesn't like to eat eggs very much, so she hasn't bought it again.

But this one is different, the cracks on the head of an egg are almost the same, and the peeled egg white has turned tan.

I don't know why, there are egg whites blocking the outside, but the egg yolk inside is also delicious.

It's not dry at all, it's soft and it's very fragrant.

Yan Mingqiao asked how this was done, Yan Mingyu couldn't say why, "Hey, eat more if it's delicious, if the duck is delicious, will you kill it and roast it!" ”

Yan Mingqiao felt that what her sister said was very reasonable, every day, except for reading, eating, and sleeping, she needed to do it herself, and others would do everything else.

It's like opening a shop, they only need Lin Xiang to tell what has happened, and they don't have to worry about other things.

The new shop has already begun to be decorated, and the sisters occasionally go to see Shengjing's shop, which Jiangnan has never seen.

Yan Mingqiao grew up to seven years old, and she hadn't seen it anywhere else. Yan Mingyu had been there before, but rarely went out after the crossing.

Sometimes I envy Yan Mingxuan for being able to travel far away to study.

Yan Mingqiao felt that it was difficult to write such heroic and magnificent poems without seeing those scenes.

But now I have to study, and I'll talk about it when I go far away.

When there is more money, my mother will let me go, and I will be able to go out. Now that the silver is being spent like flowing water, it is a little distressing, but in order to make more money, it is spent.

Yan Mingqiao planned to buy a Zhuangzi now, but her mother said that it was a good time to do now, and after the autumn harvest, it was not spring. You can take your time, take a look, pick a few and choose well.

Yan Mingyu also has a lot of money, and she also plans to buy a Zhuangzi, otherwise the money will be left alone, and it will be enjoyable to count the money twice, and she will not keep counting.

In other industries, Yan Mingyu is still unclear, and he doesn't know how to invest, so he just buys shops and fields.

The sisters planned to keep the Zhuangzi closer, some of them rely on water, some don't, and it will be more convenient to be closer.

The two sisters do business together and raise ducks, so they can save a lot of work together.

Buy Zhuangzi first, get more than 1,000 taels a month, and in a few months, you can buy a house.

If you buy Zhuangzi, you can raise more ducks, and then the spring cake shop will be able to open a branch.

Yan Mingqiao now has more than 7,800 taels of silver, including the share of the three shops in September, so much silver, enough to buy a Zhuangzi with hot springs of more than 200 acres.

Let Lin Xiang go and have a look first, and after she sees it, she picks one.

It was a lot of money to buy Zhuangzi, and it is estimated that she has to spend all the money she saved, but Yan Mingqiao has no other expenses on weekdays, so she spends it.

Otherwise, the silver ticket will not give birth to small silver like a duck.

It's better to spend it.

Yan Mingqiao planned that Zhuangzi was optimistic, and asked the Shen family to help take a look, so he gave it down, and didn't wait for the price to rise after the year.

When Ning talked about his two granddaughters, he was only satisfied, and this time he came back and brought a lot of things to the two.

Yan Mingyu brought Xiao Yang's food, and brought all kinds of dolls, puppets, and clay figures to Mingqiao, all of which are things that children like.

Yan Mingqiao really liked it, put it in a wooden box, made a small bed for the clay figure, and got a big family.

After having dinner at Yumingxuan, Yan Mingqiao went back to play with clay figurines, and her life passed happily.

There is no need to go to Shou'an Hall to ask for peace, the two still accompany the old man to eat as before, one goes to the main courtyard, and the other goes to Shou'an Hall.

When he went to the main courtyard and rarely ate with Yan Guogong, the Shen family was either angry, or simply didn't want to see him.

The world passed slowly, and in late October, the first snow fell in Shengjing.

It's not very big, it's finely crumbled, and it's like a grain of salt sprinkled on the pavement.

I don't know if it will be big in the afternoon, Yan Mingqiao remembered that it was not the same as last year's snow, she didn't ask for leave, and followed Mr. Fu to read a lot of poems about snow.

The Shen family went out to enjoy the snow, and this time they brought Yan Mingyue with them.

Yan Mingyue will be thirteen years old next year, and it doesn't hurt to see people more at this time. Since the matter of the shop, Yan Mingyue has been sensible a lot, and the Shen family can't care about anything, but she also thinks that she has a good family affair and can help Mingyu Mingqiao in the future.

Sisters, the relationship is stiff, and it doesn't sound good to say. Shen and Ren introduced Yan Mingyue as his daughter.

Yan Mingyue saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, when others asked about the second sister and the fifth sister, she said that the two of them were studying at home, which could be regarded as saying some good things.

Shen felt that she had really changed, her temperament was calm, and she was not as top-notch as before, with anger.

A few days ago, I also sent some things to the main courtyard.

It was made by Yan Mingyue herself, and what was given to the Shen family was a forehead wipe, with a piece of turquoise on it. A hand cage for Yan Mingqiao's hand warmer, with a white background and blue silk thread embroidered with a little moire, wrapped in rabbit skin on both sides.

It's not a valuable thing, but Yan Mingqiao is just right to use, and when I go to school, I wear it on my hand, and if it's too cold, I can hold a soup woman in it to resist the wind and cold.

However, Yan Mingyue was still unforgiving, "I don't know where to put your hands when you're so cold, it's a shame." ”

Yan Mingqiao was very moved in her heart, and she also gave the third sister a gift in return, it was a small thing she received herself, and it was also very precious.

Yan Mingyue didn't do it for Yan Mingyu, firstly, she was a younger sister, and secondly, Yan Mingyu should not lack these, besides, Yan Mingyu rarely goes out, and she is in the house all day long, what can she lack.

The things are not very valuable, just a little heart, and they can be regarded as thanking Shen for taking her out.

gave Yan Mingqiao an apology for the past because of his mother-in-law.

These things were known by Meng Xiaoniang, and she would definitely be scolded by pointing her nose, but Yan Mingyue had already seen it and didn't care what Meng Xiaoniang thought.

Shen Zhenshi felt that Yan Mingyue had grown up, she was much more sensible than before, and her heart had also improved.

During the banquet, the sister-in-law who followed the Jing'an Hou Mansion also talked about the thirteen or fourteen-year-old sons of Shengjing City.

Mrs. Jing'an Hou said: "Mingyue, you don't have to worry, it's definitely easy to talk about family affairs." ”

As long as Yan Mingyue fights for herself and doesn't upset the Shen family, then she will definitely be able to settle down with good family affairs, and there is no need to rush.

In the distance, it was silvery white, and when I got here, the snow was a little heavier, and the snowflakes were falling one by one.

There is a group of people over there, some big and some small, and there are also people that the Shen family has seen and are familiar with.

The British duchess has a little green head, a big coat of white fox fur, a girl next to her, and a boy behind her.

Mrs. Jing'an Hou pointed to Shen, "That little boy is from the British government." ”

Seven or eight years old, dressed thickly, looks good, red lips and white teeth.

At the end of the summer, Shen took his three daughters to Yanjian Lake to enjoy the remnants of the lotus, and met the British duchess.

At that time, the British duchess said that she liked Yan Mingqiao, and gave Yan Mingqiao a pair of bracelets to Yan Mingyue.

Shen didn't forget.

I didn't expect to bring my son over today.

But maybe I'm bringing a child to play, not because I want to see Ming Buckwheat.

Such a little girl, where is it worth this?

Mrs. Jing'anhou also saw it, and the British duchess glanced at Shen's side several times.

Mrs. Jing'anhou sighed two more points in her eyes, "She really likes Ming Qiao, but if you want me to say that it's not in a hurry, you can pick and choose."

I think Eucalyptus is not bad, Eucalyptus is what you watched grow up, ten years old this year, not much difference in age, if you like it, marry Ming Buckwheat to me, I will protect you and rest assured. ”

Shen Yi is the nephew of the Shen family and the second son of Mrs. Jing'anhou, who is ten years old this year, three years older than Yan Mingqiao, and several people have met several times.
