The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 151
In the end, Mrs. Sun only stayed for more than half a month before going home. Xiaoya will be finished with her confinement in a few days. The people at Tai Hospital are very dedicated and provide herbal medicines to regulate her body. Xiaoya is doing very well during confinement. , his face was all red.

After Xiaoya finished her confinement, Xiu Niang left the female apprentice and medical officer from Tai Hospital to specialize in conditioning the bodies of the women and children at home, making medicinal diets and so on. The family needed a sitting doctor in case of an emergency.

Wang Yulan specially asked the medical officer to check their pulse, which showed that the couple was in good health and had nothing wrong with them. They did not need to take medicine. It was enough to eat some seasonal vegetables to maintain their health. There was no need to be nervous. The child was fate and had not arrived yet.

Only then did Yu Lan relax and feel even more grateful to Xiu Niang.

After I finished my work on Xiaoya, I received a letter from my hometown. Brother Chun had already passed the examination and was ranked first in the national examination. He must have come by boat this time.

"Mom, my brother passed the exam and lived up to expectations. He is not bad. He will be happy after seeing the gift I prepared for him."

Brother Rui smiled happily.

"Don't buy random things. You have been spoiled by being arrogant and extravagant."

Xiu Niang shook her head.

"Auntie, it's not that serious. I think it makes sense."

Brother Jing quickly helped his aunt into the house and poured her a cup of tea.

"These are all in the capital. You have to watch them and don't allow them to act recklessly. Don't get too used to it. You can't avoid big mistakes, don't you know."

Xiu Niang specifically told Brother Jing that as the eldest brother, you should take care of the younger brothers below and not get all arrogant.

Li Jing obediently leaned forward and smiled, "Don't worry, Grandpa Zeng has told me many times at home. It's not easy for our family today. How can I dare to take it lightly? I will definitely look at these brats and have people around them. I ask all the time."

"Well, I know you are a steady person. Among the brothers, I am most at ease with you. Xiaoya has just given birth to a baby and is very weak. She will not be active and active after her confinement. It will take at least a year to recover a little. You But you have to love your wife and don't let her get pregnant again within three years, otherwise she will really die."

Xiu Niang warned Brother Jing again very seriously, fearing that something like this would happen, which would be a huge harm to the family. After the mother died, the child would be left alone. How pitiful.

"I remember."

"Our family doesn't allow concubines to enter the common room. You don't want to be a frivolous person. The same goes for you, Brother Jing. The people you come into contact with in the restaurant are more complicated. You have to be careful about everything. You can never drink more than three cups. You don't want tea with people you don't know well. Drink, our family has been prosperous in recent years, and there are many people who want to bring you brothers down. All they need is an opportunity, do you understand?"

When Xiu Niang comes, she has to beat up some brothers, so she can't forget about it.

"Yes, aunt, don't worry. My Uncle Yan watches me very closely and beats me from time to time. I understand."

Brother Jing nodded seriously, and he didn't look surprised or indifferent, which meant that he might have encountered a conspiracy outside, but he was able to avoid it because of his caution and the large number of people around him. Brother Jing's experience over the years has not been in vain. The brothers below are more mature and stable, and have experienced more grievances and calculations.

"When the child turns four, he will go back to his hometown to study. I will watch it for you and let your mother hug her grandson."

"it is good."

Within a month, I received Brother Chun, who came to the capital, and several relatives who had passed the imperial examination.

"Mom, I came first in the exam, and you promised me the reward."

Brother Chun climbed onto Brother Jing's back like a monkey and wanted to carry him on his back.

Ever since he was young, he has always been on Li Mao's back, or on Li Jing's back. They are almost the biggest ones.

"Yes, I can't do without you."

"Brother, have you prepared a gift for me? I have prepared a gift for my little nephew. I used my pocket money to buy a set of gold jewelry for my little nephew, a gold lock made of pure gold. I asked the elders. Gold is more valuable than children. My destiny is the best, I struck gold."

The brothers laughed when they heard this.

"Are you stupid? You can't hold on to such a small thing."

Brother Jing couldn't help crying or laughing.

"There are also gold-inlaid jade, and serious mutton-fat white jade, as well as sapphire and blue field jade. Yes, I spent a lot of money on this blue field jade. It is said that the warm jade heats up and blooms in a small piece of jade. Yes, I bought some jewelry for my nieces and nephews to use. I have no money, so I’ll eat yours.”

Brother Chun is very generous and sincere to his brothers and sisters. In order to give gifts to his nephew, he bought a bunch of things. He thought that he was young and if something was not suitable for his children, there would always be gifts suitable for children in various categories.

"Okay, eat from me and take you to eat delicious food." Brother Jing was very happy to see him caring so much for his son, and ran away as fast as he could carry him on his back.

"Ouch! How old are you? Come down. Isn't it embarrassing?"

Xiu Niang helplessly held her forehead.

When the group arrived home, Brother Chun politely greeted his two sisters-in-law, then went to wash up and change clothes before visiting his nephew.

The child was given the nickname Bao Ge, and Grandpa Zeng wanted to give him the nickname, but he didn’t have it this time.

Brother Chun held the child carefully, his hands and feet were stiff due to nervousness.

"Mom, hurry up, hug him, why is he so soft?"

Brother Chun was so frightened that he called for change.

"The bones are soft and they haven't grown properly. You were like this when you were a child, aren't you cute?"

Xiuniang's happiest thing now is coaxing her children to play.

"terrible."

Brother Chun kept shaking his head.

"Sister-in-law, I also brought gifts to my two sisters-in-law. They are all different. I picked them myself. The other gifts were given by the elders of the clan, including my uncle and aunt."

"Really, what did you give us? We won't be able to eat."

Xiaoya and Brother Chun are closer and have been together in their hometown for several years.

"Girls like jewelry. I got two pieces of high-quality jade for the custom-made jewelry, and I made facial hair for my two sisters-in-law. Uncle Erqing also gave me some gems, which were just in use. My mother can't wear jewelry anymore. , I made it for my sister-in-law and sister."

The widow wears neither red nor gold. She can only wear silver and wood, and there can be no tricks.

"Are you going to gamble on stones?"

Xiu Niang put down the child and reached out to pluck her son's ears.

"No, it's not a bet, I really bought it."

Brother Chun screamed in pain.

"Brother Chun, tell the truth, did you really gamble?"

Xiaoya was also anxious, pulled him up and asked patiently.

"I really didn't bet on it, I bought it. The man bought a batch of stones, opened a small half and lost half of it. He didn't want any more and wanted to recover some of his capital. I saw a few stones that were promising, so I bought them. Just for fun, after he left, I had the stones opened, and a few pretty good stones were opened. The Lantian jade came from it. The person who makes jewelry for you is the best. There are not many things, but It’s paid off.”

"Ouch! Why did you spend money to buy a bunch of rocks? What will you do if you lose money, you kid?"

"I could actually see some of it. I compared it with the book, and then cut the stone open to see if it could be closed with what the book said. I didn't expect it to be true."

Brother Chun is very smart, no less than his brothers. He is more lively and curious.

"Mom, I was wrong. I really didn't gamble. I just bought some rocks and compared them with the things in the book. I won't play anymore. Please forgive me."

"Copy the Tao Te Ching ten times, and you won't be allowed to do it again. For the sake of your reputation as a leader, I will spare you this time. Next time, I will kneel at your father's memorial tablet."

"I remember."

Brother Chun aggrievedly leaned on his elder brother's arms and acted coquettishly.
