Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 507, New Aspirations
Congratulations Tang Jin's engagement gifts have been prepared long ago, and they will be delivered when Princess Jing'an, who has been staying in Xinji, returns to the capital. Yanyan Lvzhu would not make fun of the princess for personally sending invitations, and promised to go back to Beijing to have the engagement banquet tomorrow.

The princess also went the next day, Yuan Xiu said with a smile: "It's like a special gathering before the Chinese New Year. In the next twelfth lunar month, each of us will have a good year. Let's have a few more drinks today."

Hold the pot and ask the mother-in-law to drink a few more cups. The princess is very happy when Tang Jin is engaged. Give it to your in-laws."

The Duke laughed and said: "It is said that Jing An is not smart, in fact, I think she understands in her heart, Sister Hui will accompany her to help her win the family property, and sister-in-law Xiu is willing to take care of her with her parents-in-law, so she is naturally attached to the Yuan family. During the day, I was in the yamen, and someone told me that the daughters of the Yuan family were all tall, which seemed bad. I said there was nothing wrong with it, I would like it if you like it."

The princess smiled: "That's all."

Yanyan Luzhu Yuanxiu accompanied her, and she was also drunk, the three of them couldn't help themselves, so they went to the Duke Huguo's mansion to drink tea to sober up and talk.

Yanyan tilted the tea bowl: "This makes me so happy. In the future, there will be sister Min in Beijing. Our people will grow stronger and stronger." She proposed to give Yuan Min some shares from the store, and Luzhu also agreed. Said to give up voluntarily.

Yuan Xiu understood, and joked: "What? One took out [-] at first, and the other has already paid off the principal, and now it's wrong to still think about what you owe me." She said that there is no need to divide it from the shop, but set up another shop, Take the principal from her private house, and Yuan Min has a share.

After hearing the cheers, Yanyan said, "Why don't we buy land and actually build a farm."

Yuan Xiu and Lu Zhu looked at her and smiled: "You actually want to buy land now?"

Yanyan smiled and said: "As long as I don't want to raise chickens and pigs in my shop, I'm willing. Let's talk about my small farm with an acre of two sub-divided land. How much money will it save us by delivering vegetables, chickens and pork a year. Yes," she said with a sweet smile, "Actually, I still don't like being a farmer. If the place is remote, we can plant plums and fruit trees. When the flowers bloom, let's live there for a few days, okay?"

Yuan Xiu pointed at her and smiled: "I see, you don't have to worry about Brother Ying having money, you want to buy something for him, and you can collect interest all year round, but this?"

Green Bamboo came alive: "And Brother Jie, with so many things in his hands, I really don't feel at ease, what if he spends them indiscriminately? What Yanyan said is right, let's replace the land with the mountain. It’s okay to be barren, just grow it slowly, and it’s good to pass it on when it’s fertile.”

The three of them began to discuss. Over the years, Steward Yuanxiu has been doing things every year to increase land and production. He also mentioned it to Yanyan Lvzhu in previous years. They didn't want to bother, so they didn't say much. At that time, there were many restrictions on selling land. For example, the neighbors bought first, and the family first. Sometimes the neighbors and the family could not afford it, but after the disturbance, Yanyan and Luzhu left it because they were not too interested, and the shop was enough for them to be busy. .

At this time, the interest was high, and the three of them chatted while drinking tea. When Yun Zhan came back, he heard that Yanyan and Lvzhu were there. Beside him, Qi Shi leaned on the armrest of the mahogany chair. She was born with outstanding looks, and she was gorgeous, complementing each other's extraordinary postures; What, when I heard the door curtain ringing, I looked back and smiled, and my eyebrows were especially delicate in the candlelight held in the palm of Dongwan.

Yun Zhan hastily put down the door curtain and coughed lightly, and when he entered again, Yanyan and Lvzhu were already sitting upright, Yuanxiu was still leaning on the pillow as before, with a smile on his face to express his love, a deep blush came out on both cheeks, and there was a faint smell of wine , the hostess is graceful and luxurious like a peony flower.

Yun Zhan said: "You are really drunk, are you waiting for He Ning to pick you up?"

Luan Ying said behind her: "Aunt, Uncle, I'm here."

Yanyan and Lvzhu showed their true colors again, clapping their hands and smiling coquettishly: "Here comes the pick-up person, hey, it's changed today?"

Luan Ying came in to salute: "I have something to say to my uncle." It seemed that he wanted to talk to Yun Zhan alone.

However, his mother and aunt were drunk, and the three of them refused to agree: "Why do we only have private conversations with my uncle? We want to listen to it."

Luan Ying scratched her head, hehe: "It's not a private conversation, it's because I want to tell Uncle, this year's palace exam, next year's martial arts exam, I want to take the martial arts exam." He puffed out his chest, showing that Brother Ying is very strong.

Yun Zhan also raised his eyes in surprise, and put down the tea bowl in his hand: "You," he, who is smart and sophisticated, understood, "Is it for a title?"

Luan Ying said: "Yes, and no."

Yun Zhan said, "Let me listen."

"I think of my uncle's office as an errand, and my uncle has already made an agreement with the official department. Brother Jie and I will accompany Brother Long on the errand, but this errand will be seconded after all. I want to work in my uncle's yamen all the time. I want to transfer to the military general position This is one." Luan Ying laughed.

Yun Zhan said lightly, "Two."

"Secondly, my aunt told me that military exploits will advance the fastest. If I don't want the family title, I will inevitably owe my mother. I will naturally try my best to earn one and return it to repay my mother. I tried my best but couldn't. My mother won't blame me."

Yanyan was helpless: "You child, I can't live a more comfortable life. If you are an official, you will have nothing to do with me."

Lu Zhu was worried about the war, but looked left and right, she didn't stop, Yuan Xiu didn't speak, Luan Ying asked uncle.

After a long while, Yun Zhan said, "Brother Ying, martial arts is the same as Wenju. After the provincial competitions, 2000 people will be sent to Beijing. They will be divided into 12 teams. They will fight in twos and draw lots for pairs until there are 12 left. The [-] people draw lots for a pair, and fight in twos until the top two and Tanhua are left. They will fight for three months in Beijing alone, and they will fight if they are injured in the middle. Unless they admit defeat, they will fight even if they catch the strongest in the first battle. , unless you admit defeat. Fists and feet have no eyes, and life and death are strictly prohibited, but Keke has injured countless people. You are not old, and you can win or lose with the heroes of the country without going to a small battlefield."

Luan Yingman shook her head indifferently: "I know what my uncle said, so I'm here to beg you, I'm going to compete in martial arts next year, I'll leave it to my uncle, please make sure that I get a foothold in martial arts next year, Successfully converted to military officer."

Yun Zhan glanced at Yanyan, she looked at herself quietly, then looked at Yuanxiu Green Bamboo, it was the same, as if this idea was only waiting for her to take, Yun Zhan teased Luan Ying: "You just give yourself to me? The battlefield is a melee, and the general is incompetent, and there is a possibility of winning. Martial arts fights in twos and twos, and you can't get out of the ring if you don't admit defeat. You want me to speak, let's fight again."

Luan Ying became anxious when she heard that, and ran up to hug Yun Zhan's arm. Uncle and uncle shouted happily: "Don't, I have to wait for a few years to get off the exam. I can't wait. You must find a way to let me compete in the martial arts exam." So I handed myself over to my uncle."
