Houmen's concubine

The couple had just found someone to come out of a main courtyard and let them live in it first, and then slowly tidy up. It was impossible to imagine that first, the mother wrote a letter saying that they would leave for the capital in a few days, and then the father sent an urgent letter saying yes. The old couple came to the capital together, and they had to sort out a separate yard for his students to live in...
Therefore, the eldest son and his wife were so busy that they turned their backs on their backs, and only then did more than half of the yards in Washington D.C. be able to live in.

The two of them also moved out of the main courtyard, leaving the main courtyard for their parents to live in, and the couple moved to the side yard.

The eldest son, Hua Yu, is happy, his parents came to the capital, and the whole family is reunited, can you be unhappy?

Besides, he was originally the eldest son, so he should take on the responsibility of raising parents to take care of his younger siblings.

My father is not an ordinary old man, but the well-known Mr. Hua!
In fact, at this time, he didn't know that his father was coming to Beijing to report on his work.

I'm not here to take care of the elderly.

When the old couple came, it was just because of the eldest daughter-in-law, Kong Xuan, who originally thought that she would be far away from Qinzhou, her father-in-law and her mother-in-law.

Therefore, Kong Xuan, the eldest daughter-in-law of Huawen Pavilion, had a bad face when she heard the news that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were coming, and it was inconvenient to say anything in front of a man, so she could only secretly complain to the grandmother around her.

In fact, she didn't live with her parents-in-law very much. Ever since her husband got the honor in the examination, she left Wuwei Mountain and went to a small county in Qinzhou to serve as a county magistrate. After that, she was transferred to Xiezhou not far from Qinzhou to do a few Mr. Nian Zhifu.

Throughout the year, my mother-in-law only comes to visit them for two or three months, and the rest is free.

She didn't know that her father-in-law came to Beijing to report on his work, and his official position in the future must be much higher than that of her man, and he was in the cabinet.

There are also princes of the sixth rank in the cabinet who serve as attendants, but these junior officials of the sixth rank sometimes have to flatter the senior officials of the second and third ranks.

After all, he is the closest courtier to the emperor and the crown prince, just like the magistrate of the third rank in the local area, even if you come from Beijing to a fifth or sixth rank official, he has to try his best to curry favor with you.

Just when the eldest daughter-in-law Kong Xuan asked his son Hua Tao to let his grandmother take him into the house to do his homework, Fu Gui came in to report: "Master, Master, the old lady has arrived."

"Ah! Father and mother are here! Hurry up, Axuan, let's go to pick up the elders." Upon hearing this, Hua Yu immediately swept away the fatigue from these days, and walked towards the gate to welcome her parents.

Hua Tao, who was about to leave with the nanny, heard his grandfather and grandmother coming, immediately let go of the nanny's hand, followed his parents and slipped to the gate.

"Young master, slow down!" Although Hua Tao is ten years old, but he is the eldest grandson of the Hua family, he can't show any flashes, so the nanny hurriedly walked behind.

When Hua Wenge helped his old wife get out of the carriage, he raised his eyes and looked at the gate of Washington in front of him, as if it had been a lifetime...

Got home!
The gate of Huafu was closed tightly, and the paint pattern on the eaves of the door had faded, and the color of the two big characters "Huafu" written by myself on the plaque under the eaves had also faded.Only the two large lanterns newly installed at the two corners of the eaves are bright.

Well, after settling down and redecorating the gate, Huawenge secretly made up his mind.

With a creak, the door of the Washington Palace opened.

"Father, mother has worked hard all the way!" Hua Yu walked out quickly, seeing his father whom he hadn't seen for a few years, he immediately bent his knees and knelt down to salute his parents with a bang.

Seeing her husband and son-in-law kneel down, Kong Xuan hurriedly dragged her son to kowtow to her parents-in-law: "Daughter-in-law has met her parents-in-law." At the same time, she did not forget to ask her son to say hello to the old couple: "Taoer, Call grandparents quickly."

The mischievous Hua Tao first kowtowed to Hua Wenge and Chen Jiaojiao, "Grandfather and Grandmother," then pointed to Wang Tonger who was standing beside him and asked, "Who is that pretty sister?"

Huawenge and Chen Jiaojiao are calling them to get up: "Hey, my children don't do those rude things, get up quickly."

"Call her uncle." Hua Wenge couldn't help but smile when he heard his grandson's question.

Chen Jiaojiao couldn't help grinning too - isn't her cousin a beautiful sister!
Hua Tao blinked his big black grape eyes, and obediently called out: "Uncle."

"Hey." Wang Tong'er coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said politely to Hua Yu and his wife: "The student has met Mr. Hua."

When Hua Wenge heard this, he immediately interrupted her and said, "Yu'er, he is your elder brother, you can call them elder brother and elder sister-in-law, please don't look outside."

It was only now that Hua Yu and Kong Xuan noticed that Wang Tong'er was such a person, and their parents wrote and urged them to arrange the best courtyard for Qin Yu to live in.

Unexpectedly, this young man's appearance is really too outstanding, with red lips and white teeth, and amused eyes.Tut tut!How can there be such a beautiful boy in the world?

Wang Tong'er was very obedient, and obediently called out: "Qin Yu has met the eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Hua Yu happily agreed, "Hey, brother Qin Yu, hello."

The sister-in-law was a little reluctant, and said reluctantly: "My family, you are welcome, please come inside."

Wang Tonger walked up to Hua Tao, bent down and put a gold pocket watch on Hua Tao's neck, and said to him with a smile, "This is a gift from uncle to Tao Tao, do you like it?"

Can you not like it?This pocket watch is made of pure gold from the watch chain to the hour hand inside. It is said that it is sold for 2000 taels of silver in the capital, and it may not be available in stock.

The reason is, of course, that there was a riot of Japanese bandits two months ago. How could a businessman dare to risk his life?
It was not until the middle of last month that merchant ships gradually went to sea to trade with Westerners.

Originally, this pocket watch was a rare commodity, all handmade, and there were few finished products.It is rare to be able to sell across the ocean to Dazhou.

Kong Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw it, but he said, "Hey, this is too expensive, Tao'er quickly take it off and return it to uncle."

Hua Yu also hurriedly said: "Yes, it's too expensive, I can't ask for it."

Wang Tong'er saw that Hua Yu looked like a middle-aged scholar, handsome like Chen Jiaojiao, but not as tall and burly as Mr. Hua.

"Yu'er gave it, accept it!"

At the beginning, Huawenge resigned from office when he was about 38 or nine years old, but he didn't expect his son to go to Beijing to report on his work at such an age.

Hua Wenge looked at the eldest son in front of him, stroking his beautiful beard with his hands, and breathed a sigh of relief: The world is really unpredictable!I have reached my sixtieth year and can re-enter the court...
Wang Tong'er looked at the family reunion of the husband's family in front of him, and it was too disharmonious for him to be an outsider in it.

I made up my mind and moved out the next day.

The letter to Xu Jinshen that day, asking him to buy a house for him, should have been done in so many days.

Anyway, I don't have much luggage, so I will go to find Xu Jinshen when I get up early tomorrow.
