Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 411, the house and the cow give green bamboo
Zhang's mother only had Mrs. Nanyang Hou in her heart, so she specially asked Chai Zhi to announce the good news, and asked Mrs. Nanyang Hou to congratulate Aunt Yuancai, so that she could buy a good one in front of Yanyan.

Mrs. Nanyang Hou and the new official wife Yuan Caigu are far apart in status. Even if Nanyang Hou knew that Shu Ze had passed the imperial examination, he would not be able to help him.

The Marquis of Nanyang and the Marquis of Qinghe are very rare about Qi Yue. Uncle is a relative of his own family, so it makes sense that he often comes and goes. Besides, Uncle Qi is No.1 in the second class, one step away from the first class. This ranking is beautiful to say the least, Look at it.

There is one subject every three years, and there is never a shortage of officials with imperial examination background in Beijing. No matter how rare the Marquis of Nanyang is, he will not make friends with all of them.

Mrs. Nanyang Hou congratulated her, mainly to please Yanyan.

Zhang's mother is the person in the shop who knows best that Nanyang Hou's mansion has been poor for the past three years. Except for a few taels for her aunt, the rest of the rewards she gets in the shop are given to Mrs. Nanyang Hou.

So far, the old mother has not spoken to Yanyan, and she has no plans to speak to Yanyan. As Cha Yu said, such a large mansion will not be too poor for a while. The father and son of Nanyang Hou still have official positions. Even when I was poor for a while, and refused to enter the pawn shop because of my face, my daily necessities and food were still bright when I went out, and all the suffering was at home.

Since she was not poor immediately, Zhang's mother would not let Mrs. Nanyang Hou lose face in front of Yanyan. She was looking forward to the closeness of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she never thought of embarrassing one of them.

The second grandma had money in her hands, and she was thinking about having children in the future. When Zhang's mother encountered something that Mrs. Nanyang Hou could come forward, she asked Chai Zhi to report and let Mrs. Nanyang Hou show her face, that's all.

Chai Zhi came back with ten taels of silver, followed by a dowry of Mrs. Nanyang Hou, and said to Yanyan that it was a celebration to add a baby, and sure enough, Yanyan was very happy, and rewarded ten taels of silver.

We all know that she is a rich man, Mrs. Nanyang Marquis's dowry was happily accepted, money can turn ghosts, dowry has no enmity with money, Yan Yan has a reputation, she kowtows respectfully.

On the way back to the house, the dowry also wondered, the second grandma has money, and the eldest grandma holds the money, why doesn't the eldest grandma get along with the second grandma?

She thought about it, the house was like a sieve, but the eldest grandma was dark under the lights, no one told her that the second grandma was rich, should she tell her?
No, no, forget it, the grandma is stingy every day, even her in-laws want to sting, but she never stings herself. Giving birth to a young master is like hugging the sky. Toss randomly on the jewelry pile.

Dowry thought, is grandma good for me?I want to mention her, if she doesn't know, forget it.

When the dowry returned to Nanyang Houfu, the aunt came.Luan Jing's grandfather often came to see He Ning, and He Ning Lvzhu went back to Xinji to take care of his grandfather. This old-fashioned old man still doesn't care about scholars, so he comes here once in a few days.He Shitou is waiting, and he doesn't need money to kowtow, and he also kowtows to the old man's door.As for my aunt, I often come to see Yanyan.When the family cooks special dishes, they will give Yanyan a basket of steamed buns, or two bowls of fresh dishes.

The aunt had known the approximate date of Aunt Yuancai's birth for a long time, and when she knew it was born, she came here with four hens and a basket of eggs.

Hugging the big fat boy and not letting go, she talked with Zhang's mother that there is a child that can be next to her. Yanyan planned to have a child, and she listened with great interest.

The aunt brought Mrs. Hou of Nanyang up, and she walked here for the sole purpose of preventing Yanyan, a daughter-in-law with more than 2 dowry gifts, from running away.Besides, the aunt suddenly talked about walking around with Yanyan, but when she walked around, she found herself aloof. Her elder brother, the old man, had enough silver for the family for a year. Officer, don't want money from the family, the old man's life is rich.

But when Yanyan gave gifts, the price was dozens of taels, which was enough to surprise the aunt.

Yanyan had asked Zhang’s mother beforehand that her natal family had only the elder’s salary to live on, and a few acres of land was not considered rich. Yanyan said she was filial to her grandfather when she first went there. If so, I will send someone to send ten taels and 20 taels the next day, saying that I will make clothes for my grandfather and aunt.

The aunt went to see Mrs. Nanyang Hou, and when they met, she scolded her: "What kind of bastard are you, such a good daughter-in-law, generous and decent, yet she is thrown out to live."

Mrs. Nanyang Hou explained the reason in embarrassment. She naturally didn't say her own fault, but Feng's wrong things were enough to say. What a person can do is a dirty embryo."

It's really ugly to cut off someone's bridal chamber. The main wife is always in the eyes of the world, and no one would do such a thing openly.From then on, the aunt didn't like Feng Shi anymore, Feng Shi couldn't feel it.

In this way, Yanyan spends 200 taels of silver every year to visit her grandfather's house, and everyone in her grandfather's family likes her.

In addition, when buying goods, I will take out some clothes and send them to my aunt. Yanyan is now the granddaughter-in-law in my aunt's heart, and Mrs. Feng stays in the corner.

The aunt is looking forward to Yanyan having a child, and she feels the same way as Zhang's mother.

Zhang's mother sent her aunt out and asked her, "How is the young master in the house?"

The aunt was funny: "Mr. Feng is like a treasure, and she refuses to come out of the room. I'm afraid I won't see it if I take a look. I'm too lazy to look at it, so I go to sit and have a glass of wine when the full moon is full. The nanny is holding the iron tightly. , I won’t hug you if you don’t let me.”

Zhang's mother smiled and said, "If we don't announce the good news to us, we didn't go."

The aunt also laughed: "I would like to prevent the one who announces the good news from entering, but the one who announces the good news is my mother-in-law. I can't stop my niece and daughter."

The two separated with a smile. Zhang's mother came back, liked the child, and sat in Yuan Caigu's delivery room to take care of her. Yuan Caigu was moved to tears.

From then on, Yuanhui came to see the children every day, and also went to the King's Mansion of Jinguo County to see the boy Ding recognized under her knees. Princess Jing'an also came here with her younger brother in her arms, and heard Meng's, Zhang's mother, and Yanyan's nanny talk about raising children. The scriptures, the princess often listens to these with fascination.

Luzhu wrote another book, changed the style of last year, and wrote about the suffering of a married woman, but rewritten that a scumbag must have retribution, changed Shu Ze's name in the book, and kept cursing over and over again. He Ning wanted to watch it, and couldn't stop having fun after watching it.

Watching Shu Ze's jokes is Brother Ning's hobby. Brother Ning, who was the third child of Wannian in Xinji School back then, had always hated Wannian Number One.He Ning not only had fun by himself, but also wrote to Qi Yue, intending to let Qi Yue have fun with him.

Early in the morning, Yuan Xiu got up, unable to part with Yun Zhan.

Today Yun Zhan was in full armor, looking mighty and dignified, Yuan Xiu felt very strange, and then remembered that her husband was not a civil servant, he was a general.

Yuan Xiu reminded: "If the looters are victims of disasters, in fact, most of them are people who have been impoverished by disasters in the past two years, not thieves."

Yun Zhan said: "I know. If the magistrate thinks like you, it's fine. Now that several cities are in chaos, and two yamen have been smashed, the emperor can only send someone over to have a look."

Husband and wife hugged each other, Yun Zhan said: "If you are bored, go to the shop. You said that Grandpa Lvzhu is here, I think you must treat me, I said I can relax and drink again, I don't want the emperor to be anxious Order me to leave Beijing."

Yuan Xiu hugged him tightly again: "It's hard for you to think about it." Putting her cheek against the cold armor, she came to her senses: "It's because of your ability that I ordered you to go, and the journey will be smooth and smooth."

The couple bid farewell in front of the princess, the princess and the Duke confessed a few words with smiles on their faces, Yun Zhan resigned, and the princess left Yuanxiu to live for a day, and the next day, Yuanxiu came to the shop to see Caigu and Song Grandpa, the third is to personally send the invitation.

Yuan Xiu said with a smile: "The family has prepared a little actor, and we were going to invite them yesterday, but yesterday the son left Beijing for business."

She was afraid of making Mrs. Song worry, so she didn't talk about leading troops out of Beijing.

He also said: "Send off the son, my mother-in-law said that I would go back to the room alone and spend a day with her. I didn't come yesterday, but I came here today to send invitations. Grandfather is happy now, so let's come to my house right now." Bar."

Old Mrs. Song was really frightened. When she saw Yuan Xiu's smile, she suddenly turned into fear: "You must, sister Xiu, don't be surprised. Even if your heir is at home, I wouldn't dare to go."

Lu Zhu wondered: "Why is this? Grandfather, you said my shop is big, but you have never seen sister Xiu's house even bigger."

Old Mrs. Song said: "Oh, I'm old, how can I see a noble person with this face. If I go to sister Xiu's house, I am her natal family. Should I worship the princess? If I worship the princess, I can't speak , I have no guts. I am not afraid of your jokes. When I entered the gate of Beijing, I saw a huge city wall. I saw heavenly soldiers and generals standing on the wall. Princess, will the princess blame this natal family for not showing respect to Sister Xiu? It's better not to go, just stay in your shop for a few days, grandpa thinks this life is worth it."

He beckoned to Song Han: "Your brother is right. Green Bamboo has a big business, and a big business costs a lot. Give the three rooms and a few cows to Green Bamboo."

Song Han said yes, nothing else.

After a while, he came out to exchange tea, and He Ning came out with a smirk: "Old son, your status has lost a bit."

Song Han didn't turn around and fight back: "Even if I have no status, it's okay to hit you. You, Brother Ning, let me remember this little uncle, if you dare to do wrong to Lu Zhu, I'll be sorry for you once. .”

He Ning shrugged his shoulders: "With such a big family business, if I feel sorry for Luzhu, it will not be mine. Besides, Brother Yue is watching. If he can't marry the county master, I'm afraid he will think about Luzhu again. When the time comes You have to help me." In the new episode, Mrs. Song got better and was no longer in critical condition. Besides settling old scores with He Ning, Song Han just made up Qi Yue's jokes together.

They make up until there are no new jokes, so they just joke that Shu Ze has been rampant since he became an official.

Today is the same, Song Han immediately regained his spirits.

With the tea bowl in his hand, he forgot to bring the tea back to the house, and squatted under the flowers with He Ning to arrange Qi Yue, what he said came and went, with his nose and eyes, if Qi Yue heard it by himself, he would only think that he was talking about someone else, and he is groveling here It's obviously not him to flatter the villain.

At noon Yuan Xiu had dinner here, and in the afternoon Housekeeper Xie came to see He Ning and sat and talked in the East Wing.There is a place to sit in the corner of the store. Accompanied by Song Xun, Mrs. Song sat there cheerfully, watching the customers coming in and out.

Butler Xie cupped his hands: "Congratulations, we've made a fortune again."

He Ning said: "Where are you going to take me to make a fortune? My father-in-law's grandfather is here, so I can't go out these few days."

Housekeeper Xie wanted to laugh, but put it away again: "You can't laugh about this."

He Ning laughed after hearing this: "What kind of rare thing is getting rich, can't you laugh?"

Housekeeper Xie said: "Didn't the other provinces suffer from disasters? The imperial court provides disaster relief every year, and your highnesses go out of Beijing in turn, but there are still local officials who are greedy for money. The victims can't survive. There were looting last year, but not many. This summer's harvest is good. Let's see now." The benefits obtained are that the victims smashed the yamen, and more than one city collapsed. Yun Shizi personally led the troops, and Pingxi County King also sent troops."

He Ning was taken aback: "What kind of situation is this, that the king of Pingxi County also sent troops?"

"So don't laugh. It's not a trivial matter. It seems to implicate several provinces. Seriously, half of the provinces are festering. It's not wrong to say that they are all bad people. It's just a few moments of connection, and the ordinary people living a good life are trapped in it. If you can't get out, you can only follow the chaos, otherwise there is no way out."

He Ning said seriously: "Then you say we get rich, we can't make disaster money."

Housekeeper Xie said: "Don't underestimate me, when have I been dishonest?"

He Ning was suspicious: "Then what do you mean?"

"The disaster victims disrupted several provinces, the roads were blocked, and the road for transporting seafood in Jingli Tongyunju was cut off. In the morning, their shopkeepers came to our shop. Because they used a lot every day, they wanted to buy all the inventory. I received He refused to agree to the reply, and the shopkeeper of Tongyunju asked the store to send me a message, begging me for a long time, and I will come to you to make an opinion. Slaughter, let us bid the price."

He Ning smiled: "It's considered a fortune, but you don't need to negotiate with me, you can set a price for them, but you can't give them all, you have to ensure that our store has goods for sale."

Butler Xie said he knew, set a price with He Ning and said goodbye, he went out, Zheng Liugen came in, He Ning stood up to greet him, not to be neglected, not only the little Zheng Xiucai won Chunwei, but the dried seafood was taken care of by the shopkeeper Zheng himself in the south For delivery, several bodyguard bureaus along the way have hired bodyguards for a long time. Although the situation in other provinces is poor, He Ning has never lost goods here.

After brewing new tea and sitting down with Zheng Liugen, He Ning said: "You are waiting in the Shizi's study, did the Shizi follow the experience when he came out of Beijing?"

Zheng Liugen said: "I want to go very much. My father-in-law loves me very much, saying that I have just learned to be an errand, and I will come step by step. My father-in-law went with the son, and I stayed in the study to learn how to write official documents."

The two of them chatted, and He Ning found that Zheng Liugen didn't know much about it, and it was common practice to keep important military affairs secret. He Ning thought about what Yuan Xiu said when he came, maybe sister Xiu didn't know either.

Perhaps the prince is afraid of sister Xiu's worry, after all, it is not a trivial matter to send troops to Beijing and Pingxi County King.

During dinner, He Ning said a few words, sure enough, Yuan Xiu didn't know the situation in other provinces, and He Ning didn't say anything clearly, so that Yuan Xiu wouldn't worry.

When Yuanxiu left, she went to see Aunt Yuancai again, and let her confine herself at Yanyan's place with peace of mind. Aunt Yuancai was grateful, and when she was alone in the room with her child, she would miss Shu Ze impatiently.

Sometimes when Lu Zhu came in and saw it, he would give her a break.

The house where Aunt Yuan Cai gave birth was the main room of Zhang’s mother. Chai Zhi gave up the bed, and it was very convenient for Zhang’s mother and others to take care of the child. When the child cried at night, Chai Zhi, Biyun and Yanyan took turns. , but did not let her get out of bed, just sat on the bed and ordered.

Shu Laibao was fat when he was born, and he became fatter even more visible to the naked eye. His mother became obese at the same speed as him.

There are more fat boys in the store, and there are many unexpected joyous sounds. Yanyan Luzhu can't put it down, and Yuanxiu often comes to hold her in her hands.

Shu Laibao is used to seeing people, no matter who hugs him, he will laugh for a long time. He is in the swaddling baby, but his hat can change into different patterns.

Zhang's mother saw it. On this day, a letter from Shu Ze came to ask Aunt Cai to give birth to a boy or a girl. He named both boys and girls and planned to pick them up after the spring.

I couldn't help mentioning to Yanyan cryptically: "No matter how good Laibao is, he is someone else's son. I will return it to Mr. Shu next year."

Yanyan also replied cryptically: "What mother said is that I am good."

A flower bloomed on Zhang's mother's old face, and she felt that a stone was hanging in her heart, which was not as anxious as usual.

When the weather is cold, the prices of some commodities in the capital increase by coincidence, all of which are related to the impassability of the roads for transporting goods.According to the agreement with Yun Zhan, the soldiers and horses of Pingxi County King only regained less than one-tenth.

When Qi Yue was in this army, he was always dumbfounded: "This, this, it's all common people."

King Pingxi was right next to him. Hearing this, he cast his eyes sideways and said indifferently, "Lord Qi, most of the bandits I suppressed in the Northwest are ordinary people. Why, you have been here for a few years, and you don't know?"
