Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 152 Children’s fate

On the eve of New Year's Eve, Jiang Shunian was inexplicably angry with Tang Bingxuan. Tang Bingxuan didn't know why, so she could only serve tea and water and lie low to coax her husband.

Fortunately, the arrogant Jiang Shunian could enjoy the gentle whispers and thoughtfulness of his loving wife with peace of mind, and the unpleasantness ended soon after. Tang Bingxuan didn't even know what happened in the middle. Fortunately, the two reconciled as before.

In the first month of the first month, people visit relatives and pay New Year greetings. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, married women return to their parents' homes to pay New Year greetings. Everyone in the Duke of Rongguo has long been looking forward to the arrival of Tang Bingxuan and his wife.

In previous winters in Kyoto, the roads would be covered with thick snow for one month before the next, and it would only melt in early spring. The two of them sat in the carriage and let the handlebars move slowly without any rush.

At this time, the sky was bright, and there were many carriages and people walking on the streets of Kyoto. They must all be visiting their parents' homes. The young wives' faces were full of joy.

Tang Bingxuan suddenly asked in the carriage: "Ms. sir, do you know the news about my eldest brother?"

Jiang Shunian had his own news channel, and Tang Bingxuan wanted to know the true situation of Tang Wensong's border defense in Huzhou.

Tang Wensong went to the border at the end of July last year and did not come back during the Chinese New Year. He received two letters in the past few months. The first letter was to inform his family that he was safe and had arrived at the Huzhou border safely;

The second letter was sent two years ago. The letter mentioned that he was very adaptable to the life of the border guard in Huzhou and asked his family not to worry about him.

Tang Wensong wrote a special letter to Tang Bingxuan. The letter said that there were few wars at the border and they were all small fights;
Huzhou has a blue sky and vast land. Standing on the city defense, you can see the endless grassland. Scattered Di people herding sheep on horseback and running freely on the vast grassland.

He warmly invited Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Shunian, who had both money and leisure, to visit the border. He told them that they must take Zhidong with them. The beef and mutton in Huzhou were indeed fresh and delicious, but they were not used to the skills of local cooks;
It's okay to eat something fresh, but eating barbecue and kumiss every day is really difficult for his Kyoto stomach.

Although the letter complained that he was not used to eating, it was clear from the lines that Tang Wensong liked that place very much and felt free and unrestrained.

Tang Bingxuan was just afraid that Tang Wensong would only report good news but not bad news. Although there was no war at the border, being adjacent to the barbaric Di Kingdom always made people worried.

"I haven't paid any special attention to it. I think Wensong has been hanging out in the military camp since he was twelve years old. He must have adapted well."

Tang Bingxuan nodded in agreement, and the couple snuggled together, accompanied by the stove in the carriage, feeling as warm as spring in this winter.

It was already mid-morning when the two arrived at Duke Rongguo's Mansion. The family members of Duke Rongguo's Mansion couldn't wait and sent Tang Wenbai, the eldest member of the family, out of the mansion to greet them.

The thirteen-year-old boy was tall and long-legged, already taller than the head of the eldest sister Tang Bingxuan. He walked out of the gate and welcomed the couple out of the carriage.

Jiang Shunian helped Tang Bingxuan down from the carriage, and Tang Bingxuan walked straight to Tang Wenbai, "We haven't seen you for a few months, and my third brother is actually taller than me."

Tang Wenbai has been studying at Yunshan Academy since Tang Wenyun left home to travel. He goes home three days a month and always behaves himself, never slacking off and never arriving late or leaving early.

The last time I saw Tang Wenbai was when he returned to Kyoto in August. In the past few months, the young boy's whole person had changed a lot. He seemed to have gained a lot more confidence in his face, and his movements were no longer as sensitive and inferior as before.

Tang Bingxuan watched Tang Wenbai change greatly, and Jiang Shunian watched even more. Her impression of his wife's brother Tang Wenbai always remained as a shy young man with low self-esteem when he first met. Tang Wenbai said calmly and generously: "Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, grandmother and other elders are waiting at home. Let's go into the house quickly."

Tang Bingxuan told Zhichun and Zhixia to bring the New Year gifts, and the three of them hurriedly walked towards the house.

Mrs. Shao and Mrs. Liu saw Tang Bingxuan and his wife walking together. The young couple looked very affectionate and invited them to sit down and talk.

Since he made a special trip to pay New Year's greetings today, Jiang Shunian took Tang Bingxuan to kowtow to the elders of the Duke of Rong's Mansion and then sat down to talk.

The madam held her eldest granddaughter's little hand and sat on the soft couch. She smiled and said to her grandson-in-law Jiang Shunian, "I heard that Shunian's eldest brother and second brother are getting married again. I'm really happy and congratulated."

Although the wife did not mention anything about Jiang Shunian and his wife's children, these words sounded like a slap in Jiang Shunian's ears.

Jiang Shunian said respectfully: "Thank you, grandma, for caring about me. Children are too anxious to come because of their fate. My son-in-law also thinks so."

Mrs. Tai was very satisfied with Jiang Shunian's answer and said a few more words about her family. Jiang Shunian was taken to the study room in the outer courtyard by Duke Rong and other men from the Duke's mansion to talk. Tang Bingxuan stayed with Mrs. Tai.

Tang Bingqing and his two younger sisters were having tea and chatting next door, and the ladies followed the concubine and Tang Bingxuan into the inner room to talk.

Mrs. Tai said to Tang Bingxuan with concern: "Now that you have been married for a long time, there is still no movement in your stomach?"

In the room, the Duke's wife Liu, the second wife Zhang and the third wife Xiao Shao all looked at Tang Bingxuan's belly with anticipation in their eyes.

Tang Bingxuan is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Rongguo. She has been married for more than half a year and is still not pregnant. Her family is anxious but unable to do anything.

Even the second wife, Mrs. Zhang, is worried about this matter. The second lady, Tang Bingqing, is also going to get her hair this year and is planning to get married. If the cousin in the family cannot have a child, it may have an impact on the marriage plans of the younger sisters.

"Grandma, how can we expect this child so easily? My granddaughter has had her pulse checked by the imperial physician and is fine. It's just that the child is not ready yet."

Since there is nothing wrong with the body, just wait a little longer. Sooner or later, she will get pregnant and give birth to a child. The madam and others temporarily relaxed and talked about other things.

The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, said to Tang Bingxuan amiably: "When the snow melts in spring and the weather becomes warm, Xuan'er will take your sister Qing'er out to play more. She is a big girl who wants to get married, and she doesn't like to go out to socialize. "

The colleagues Tang Erye interacted with were all from families with the same official position as him, and most of them came from poor families;
The second wife Zhang’s natal father was a noble errand boy and could not make friends with high-ranking people;
Mrs. Tang Er thought of her eldest niece Tang Bingxuan and hoped that she could take her daughter Tang Bingqing out more often and meet some noble daughters from prominent families.

Only by getting to know more people and making friends can the matrons of these noble girls' families notice Tang Bingqing, the unengaged boudoir lady.

Tang Bingxuan didn't like to go out, but most of the sisters she made friends with were from famous aristocrats, such as Crown Princess Ping Yu, Cheng Guo Gong's youngest daughter Zheng Ke, and Jingting Hou's legitimate daughter Chen Xiaoyue.
Although her husband's family's Yongning Marquis Mansion does not have many saints, it is still a dignified Marquis Mansion. Madam Hou's natal family is still the Duke of Chengguo Mansion. I heard that she has become very familiar with Princess Zheng Yuan and Princess Ruhua recently.

Mrs. Tang Er's calculations were ringing, and several people in the room knew it well after hearing it. Fortunately, Tang Bingqing was a girl with excellent character, and Tang Bingxuan felt that it was reasonable to help her sister.
