Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 397, Great Guining
There are other side concubines of His Royal Highness in Beijing. The brother of the first emperor still has a family of side concubines. His Highness and the princess passed away long ago. Concubine Gaoshou, except for the queen's rewards during the Chinese New Year, she never leaves the mansion.Even if there is a palace banquet, I will resign, and I will not celebrate with the royal family.

So Yun Zhan said "Your concubine is not my relative", it comes from fact.

Only the little county master of Yongyi is seriously related to Yun Zhan, and he was right.

These few words made King Jinguo drunk, so Yun Zhan took the opportunity to send him back to the mansion, but he couldn't go back to the inner house, and the official document was sent again, and Yun Zhan went to work honestly.

King Jin Guo went to see Concubine Jin the next day and told her, "Yongyi is fine, don't worry if we don't see you."

After that, on the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th day of the first lunar month, Yun Zhan was very busy, and it was easy to be chaotic during the New Year holidays. Gao Mingying, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, came to him again to ask for someone to ask Yun Zhan's Kyoto guards to be on guard day and night. He is still in charge of the Ministry of War and dispatches more soldiers and horses than Gao Mingying. Gao Mingying and him were childhood friends, so who else can he find.Yuanxiu listened to the complaints against Gao Mingying for three days with a suppressed smile. Fortunately, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month was the day when husband and wife got together.

The couple dressed up early in the morning, greeted the princess for breakfast, sent the princess to Ning, that is, picked up the princess in the palace, except Princess Dayi, and her sister, Princess Zhaoyu, and several living old princesses, the sisters of Princess Dayi are called Aunt's old ladies.

Emperor Tang Ze has princesses under his knees, but he is still young, and the princesses have not yet grown up to marry.

Say goodbye to Princess Guogong and his wife at the gate of the palace, and the couple went straight to Yanyan's shop.Yanyan's store is very different from the Duke Huguo's mansion, but to Yuanxiu, this is a place she can call "Guining", and it can be regarded as her mother's home in Beijing.

He Ning opened the store to pick up Yuanxiu, but in this way, the passers-by thought that the store was open for business, so they would inevitably come in for a walk, or ask the price or buy something to visit relatives.Yanyan and Luzhu also sat conveniently in the shop, watching when Yuanxiu's carriage would come.

The carriage stopped, Qi Jun got out of the driver's seat, and Yuan Caigu got out of the car, carrying her big bamboo basket. The New Year's picture was full of atmosphere. She stood on the street and shouted: "Happy New Year, New Year's greetings are crowded at the door." , get rich get rich get rich.

This is really festive, and He Ning also burst out laughing.

In the past year, Aunt Yuancai received endless care from Yanyan shop. It is not difficult to describe this kind of care. Ever since that rainy day in the warm spring, He Ning saw Aunt Yuancai taking customers in the rain when He Ning sent the guests back to the city. After Lvzhu brought Aunt Yuancai to the store, Aunt Yuancai sold roasted seeds and nuts every day, and fresh fruits in summer, all outside Yanyan's shop, taking care of food, tea, heating and cooling.So it's endless care, Yuan Caigu feels that she can't count it.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I also picked her up.

Qi Jun went back to the farm outside the city to spend the night last night, and the two shopkeepers who went out of the city to reunite with their wives together with Qi Xunfu took turns taking Yuancaigu into the city every morning to do business, and today is no exception.

Sixteen watched the lanterns, and Qi Jun and Qi Xunfu's wife got out of the car again.

A few pigs and more than half of the chickens were slaughtered on the farm with one acre of two-divided land, and they became everyone's table food. Shu Ze took care of the newly hugged piglets and chickens for one night. Come reunite.

Having a sixteenth reunion dinner with Yuanxiu, everyone is happy.

Shu Ze?

It was taken for granted that no one would pick him up, even if he was picked up, he would not come, he just happened to take care of his home and Yanyan's small farm.

Yuancaigu brought new roasted seeds and nuts, peanuts and melon seeds including sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds. Someone took care of the leftover money for lunch. .

Not to mention Yuanxiu loves to eat, Yanyan and the others also love to eat.

The store was jubilant, and Yanyan smiled leisurely.

It's difficult to describe the death in life. She got married a few years ago, and she couldn't sleep day and night with shame and indignation. Another girl who couldn't think about it was already looking for death.She, Qi Yanyan, had Yuanxiu and Lvzhu as companions, and Qi Yue and Song Han were also angry for her. He Ning had been with his wife and her in Beijing for several years, and he never mentioned going home for sacrifices during the New Year's Eve. Some of her anger disappeared and some of her anger eased.

It is impossible for Yanyan to forgive the Nanyang Marquis. Luan Jing is still the culprit in her heart to this day, and Feng Shi is still the person she is far away from.

That is to say, when Yanyan got married, she didn't want to live in her in-law's house, so she didn't have the same knowledge as Feng's. If another woman married into Nanyang Marquis, she must have thought about how to get along with her in-laws and how to get along with Feng's family before entering the door, and was cut off by Feng's family. The bridal chamber is a lifetime of humiliation in the in-laws' family. There are ridicules throughout the whole life, including the growth of the children. She has long been desperate with Feng.

She also remembered her mother-in-law's ever-changing cold and warm faces, but when she thought of her father-in-law, Yanyan still didn't bother him. Nanyanghou had never abused her on the surface, nor had he been indifferent. He was the kind of person who was passable on the surface.

There are five people in a family, Yanyan occupies one, and three of the remaining four have old affairs on their minds. Yanyan can't like Nanyang Hou Mansion as a whole.

But this year she is not worried at all, the year before last she got married and left home, a few months later Yuan Xiu married her and left the house to live away, she has a lot of resentment towards her husband's old affairs.Last year, I spent a whole year traveling leisurely, which can be called carefree.

The business includes Xinji goods, Northwest fur and special products, and southern seafood; the business is Yuanxiu, Suwangfu, Jinguojunwangfudi, and Yuanhui and her friends have a lively and lively affair.The thing that warmed Yanyan's heart was that last year Qi Dong came to celebrate the New Year, and this year it was arranged for the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival to have family members come to Beijing in turn. At this time, it was He Ning's mother-in-law, Grandma He, who walked out of the backyard, asking when Sister Xiu would arrive.

Yanyan couldn't remember that she had a forced marriage, because everyone who came praised Yanyan Luzhu that you had a good life, and sister Xiu was in Beijing, how could it not be a bad life.Nanyang Houfu is only a relative of her family in Beijing who can move around.

Another carriage stopped outside the door, and Mrs. Li came. Today, she also uses Yanyan's shop as a married woman of her natal family.There is a generation gap between Mrs. Li and the girls, and she talks congenially with Mrs. He, repeatedly saying that the three aunts are really capable, and that Yanyan's green bamboo face is extremely radiant.

He Ning was amused: "There are two little girls, Sister Ting is not naughty, Sister Hui's boss must have argued a few words."

Li smiled from ear to ear: "Yes, there is also Sister Hui, and Sister Ting is nothing." Without Sister Hui's generous gift, Sister Ting would not have the principal of the shop.

But in fact, if you do the math seriously, this benefit should still be counted on the old man, especially the old man's favorite student, except for the old man Yuan Yuan, the person whose behavior style is most like the old man back then.

He Xiaoji and He Shitou, who were looking around at the intersection, ran back: "Here, come, Miss Xiu's carriage has arrived." All six men were at the intersection, these two came back, and the remaining four greeted them.

The shop panicked, everyone straightened their clothes and stroked their hair together, only Yanyan and Luzhu didn't do this, they got up gracefully, they wanted to smooth out the wrinkles on their clothes, but the neat and orderly actions around them couldn't help laughing, they smoothed out the wrinkles forget.

Grandma He came forward and smoothed the clothes of Lu Zhu, Shi Li came forward and smoothed the clothes of Yan Yan, Aunt Yuan Cai wiped the clothes again and again by herself, until the sound of the carriage stopped outside the door.

The first one to come down was Yuan Lian, the biological son of the old man, with a gentle attack and a calm demeanor. He didn't follow his father, and the gentle second master became more and more like a noble son in Beijing. The instigator was not the niece and his wife, but Wang Xueshi .

Yuan Lian didn't get an official in the imperial examination, so he stayed in Beijing to continue studying, and Wang Xueshi cared for him the most because of this.Another thing happened last year, the third master Yuan Yun was dismissed from office, Wang Xueshi paid more attention to Yuan Lian and did not allow Yuan Lian to get out of Yuan Yun.

His sons said this: "Father is afraid of falling when he is too high, and he is afraid of being transformed."The princes of the Wang family and Yuan Lian often met, talking and laughing about this matter.

Yuan Lian's every gesture now has the appearance of Wang Xueshi's teaching.

Walking beside Yuanlian is Zheng Liugen, sister Hui runs and dances more with her friends, and Liugen spends more time with her father-in-law.The resignation of the third master Yuan Yun also made Yuan Liangao sound the alarm. His love for Zheng Liugen is like Wang Xueshi's for himself.

It's not that there is a saying, there is a poetic spirit in his belly, Zheng Liugen now has the temperament of a small celebrity, calmly following his father-in-law, his eyebrows and eyes are naturally outstanding.

The son-in-law Weng came out of the store to greet everyone, bowing his hands in salute, but he stayed beside Sister Xiu's car, waiting for Yuan Xiu to get off.

As soon as the curtain of Sister Xiu's car was opened, there was a burst of joy, and Jing An, Yuan Hui, Sister Ting and Yong Yi jumped out of the carriage behind.Yuan Hui can wait for her sister to get off the car, and they get off again, Jing An can't wait, the curtain of her car has not been opened yet, she jumped down with the curtain wrapped around her head, Yuan Hui and others followed.

Jing An ran over: "Sister-in-law, I can set off firecrackers."

Yuan Xiu smiled from the car: "Let it go."

Cheers erupted, Jing An and others directed the maids to take out the firecrackers they brought, which were purchased in large quantities at the New Year's stalls around the New Year's Eve, and they were planned to be put away from the festival stove until the end of the first month, which reminded He Ning: "Just take care of the clothes, grandma When we go back to the door, we have to set up the cannon too. Hurry up and set it up for every aunt in Guining."

Li's Coke: "Do you still have mine? Put one for me too."

Zheng Liugen's eyebrows moved, and Yuan Lian said with a smile: "Go and release it too, be careful not to blow up your hands." Yuan Lian wanted to let it go if his hands were itchy, but he is an adult and can no longer pretend to be innocent.

In the explosion of firecrackers, Yuan Xiu got off the car and entered the shop side by side with Yun Zhan. Yuan Hui and her friends would not come for a while. Wearing a thick leather hat, covering his ears with his small hands, he tilted his head and looked at it.

In broad daylight, the fireworks whizzed into the sky.

In Yanyan's main room, Yun Zhan Yuanxiu was invited to sit in the middle, and Grandma He waited to say New Year greetings to the couple, and then thank her for taking care of Yanyan and Luzhu.Brother Ning?He is a person who lives with green bamboo.Grandma He smiled and said: "There is no need to mention him, he has nowhere to say hard work."

He Ning muttered: "I'm the only person in this shop who wakes up early and works late at night. Yanyan and Luzhu don't work as hard as me."

Yuan Xiu said no, she refused to accept the gift, Yanyan Luzhu sat her down and said, "You, Madam, a wife is as valuable as her husband, so I have to respect you." Yun Zhan heard Da Le, and said to Yuan Xiu: "Uneasy No, hurry up and give a reward."

Yuanxiu donated the rewards together, and the rewards were not finished yet. Jing An and others heard that the money had come in. After asking for the money, Jing An and Yong Yi began to donate. Grandma He is Lu Zhu's mother, Li Shi It's Sister Ting's mother, so once you get it, you get a double share.

Grandma He was shocked: "No wonder Brother Dong rewarded more than 1000 taels of silver last year. I dare to say that this is true." Li Shi smiled sweetly, of course it was true. She lived in Prince Wei's Mansion and knew that His Royal Highness's wealth came from the royal family. , In such a dynasty, people from all over the country support that family.

Jing An, who gave the most money, was so happy with the 200 taels Yuan Xiu gave her, pestered Yuan Xiu to tell how many lanterns he planned to buy at night, and Yong Yi told Sister Ting that he would go out at night with the lucky money. Spread food.

Drinking at noon, plus the waiters, there is almost no room for the table.The main hall is crowded with four tables, and it is just right for the three tables to be prioritized.The guys set up a table in the living room in the backyard, a table in Yuan Xiu Yuanhui's main room, and also in the east and west rooms, but it was still not enough.

The store is not placed, so as not to stain the clothes.Seafood from the south was continuously delivered and sold in Princess Jing'an's shop.Only in the evening when scholars come to eat in the shop, it doesn't have much taste, if the wine and meat are tossed for a while, the meal may be eaten at night, and the taste of the clothes should change.

Fortunately, the opposite side is the shop of Duke Huguo's Mansion, and the seats that cannot be opened are put on the opposite side, and the shop of Duke Huguo's Mansion also came to salute, and also received money from Yuanxiu, Jing'an and Yongyi.

Jing An is a cousin reward, she will reward.

At an age that Yongyi still doesn't understand, the nanny is the head of the house.The nanny didn't expect it at first, mainly because last year there were not so many people in the shop at the same time. Last year, the old man Yuan was still in Beijing, and Yuan Lian and Zheng Liugen mostly accompanied him.Last year there was no Lai Shi and Sister Ting.Qi Dong is alone in the capital, and Grandma He is a woman, so she always takes a few people with her when she goes out.

There are more people following and driving.

Yongyi's nanny asked someone to call home, and Ding sent a reward without even thinking about it.Mrs. Ding is the big boss who sends Yuanxiu sisters all year round, and it also costs a lot to make clothes for Yongyi and Yuanhui. This year, she added a sister Ting, but the cost is not much.This kind of reward is like a drizzle in comparison, so it doesn't matter if you give it, as long as Yongyi continues to be taken care of during these years of growing up.

Moreover, these expenses for Yongyi have never been exceeded from the income of the year in the hands of Ding, who is diligent and thrifty in managing the family.

After the banquet was set up, everyone raised their cups and toasted.

Mother Zhang is the one who received preferential treatment, her status is unmatched. In Yuanxiu's eyes, Zhang's mother proved Yanyan's innocence. Fuck it, if Yanyan is humiliated and commits suicide, it will be regarded as forced death by his son.Fortunately, Yanyan was not abused when she was out of the house, and this marriage was barely acceptable. It was only natural for Mrs. Nanyang Hou's nanny to accompany Yanyan day and night, and Yun Zhan could barely count Zhang's mother as a small hero in the rightful place.

Zhang's mother was sitting next to Yuan Xiu, so the old mother would naturally understand this honor.

Yuan Xiu greeted her from time to time, smiling at each other: "Mom, let's have another drink." Zhang's mother was the host, and said naturally: "That's that, just go to sleep when you get drunk, who dares to make a joke?"

She had a nice smile on her face, but she still sighed in her heart, if her grandma could sit here and have a sip of wine, that would be great.
