suspected wife

There was a bit of sadness in Lan's words.

Can she have another 20 years?Now that you have great-granddaughters, how many years will you have to live?

Lan Caidie smiled and comforted her: "I don't know that my aunt has returned to Yizhou this year, otherwise she would have come back with me a long time ago. Even if I get the news, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk on the frozen road, and Xiangru dare not let her come back." Yes. When the spring thaws next year, I will let my mother bring the newly married daughter-in-law back to meet my aunt."

Lan's scolded: "Why do you want your mother to come back to see me. I have to go and see them someday."

Lan's and Zhou's sister-in-law have a very good relationship.

When Mrs. Lan first got married, Mrs. Zhou managed her dowry.If Lan Antai's mother took care of it, I'm afraid her stepmother wouldn't be able to give her anything good.

After hearing this, Lan Caidie laughed and said: "Xiangru's job will be full next year, just let him detour home to sacrifice his father before going to Beijing, and the family just come back to worship their ancestors, meet with aunt, and then go to Beijing to complain It’s not too late.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Lan nodded in agreement.

Lan Caidie's eldest daughter-in-law, Qiao, liked that Qiao Mingjin's family was also from the Qiao family, and she was also the concubine of the family. Before she got married, she often came to the ancestral hall with her father and brother to worship and sweep this ancestral house, so she was very affectionate to Qiao Mingjin's family.

Pulling Qiao Mingjin to talk a lot, with the lively Lan Huizhen beside him, Qiao Mingjin learned more about Yizhou.

Qiao Mingjin's son who is under one year old also seems to like Qiao Mingjin very much. He is very obedient in Qiao Mingjin's arms, with a pair of black eyes rolling around, watching one after another, listening to the adults very quietly.

Qiao Shi and Lan Caidie teased him.He said that he was staying here and passed away with cousin Mingjin, but he still seemed to understand, turned around and hugged Qiao Mingjin's neck, making everyone laugh non-stop.

Qiao Shi patted his little butt and called him a white-eyed wolf. He was still smiling happily at Qiao Shi, dripping down his saliva.

In the afternoon, Ming Yu, Ming Qi and Wan'er came back from the women's school first.

It was a lively meeting again.

Huizhen has two cousins ​​who can talk with her.Very happy.It's rare to be the master of the house, and I talked about the local conditions and customs of Yizhou to the two cousins ​​who just came to Yizhou not long ago.

When Ming Jue and Ming Heng came back, she still hadn't stopped talking.

When Father Qiao came back, dinner was already served.

Because Lan Caidie came here, Lan Shi sent someone to look for him, but he didn't expect him to go outside the city to see the sacrifice fields.I didn't come back until the sky was dark.

"Cousin, you won't be teething my sister anymore, will you?"

Lan Caidie deliberately sat beside Lan Shi, and said to Qiao's father who had just entered the door while holding Lan Shi's arm.

Father Qiao blushed slightly, and said, "How could it be..."

It caused everyone to hold back their laughter.

Ming Jue and the others also knew the reason for a long time ago, knowing that this cousin and her father have been raised together almost since they were young, and they are very affectionate to Lan Caidie.

"As soon as I came back, I sent someone to Cui's house. I didn't expect my cousin to go to see my aunt."

Father Qiao returned to Yizhou and was very excited and excited to see some old people.It is rare to see a relative and childhood playmate at home today.very happy.

Lan Caidie smiled and said: "It's rare that my cousin still remembers me. If Xiangru knew that my cousin had returned to Yizhou, he must have been anxious to come back to see my cousin. When I was young, he was my cousin's follower."

Father Qiao also laughed when he thought of what happened when he was a child.Then he asked Lan Caidie about Lan Xiangru.

Knowing that Lan Xiangru is now a successful official, he was very moved.This cousin was not as good at reading when he was a child.

When Lan Caidie saw him like this, she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart.

Afraid of making him sad again, he blamed him and said: "Cousin is also true. A few years ago, I couldn't live on, and I wouldn't send someone to find me and Xiangru. I took the whole family to eat bran and swallow vegetables. It must be I look down on my sister."

Father Qiao shook his head and waved his hands.

"Where is this..."

At that time, he was afraid that the Qiao family would find their mother and son, and if they were found back like this, their identity would be difficult to protect, and they might even have to expel the family.Then no one contacted.No matter how difficult the family was, I never asked anyone for help.

Lan Caidie was just trying to divert his attention.

As early as when I heard Lan's talk about their family's life these years, I felt distressed, and I didn't want to say more to make the family sad.

So I found some happy things to say.I told him some old things about old people, and Qiao's father listened carefully, adding a sentence or two from time to time, or feeling a little bit...

When Lan Caidie took his daughter-in-law and daughter away, Qiao's father led the family and sent them outside the gate in person, and told her to move around more.

Seeing that her car was out of sight in the distance, she took the whole family back.

In a blink of an eye, it is the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the year is getting closer.

When it came to the twelfth lunar month, the stewards of the farm shops everywhere took account books to report to the new master.

Qiao Mingjin became busy again, and had no time to count ants.

Now their family has settled down in Yizhou and is slowly adapting to Yizhou.Now there are some manpower in hand.It is time to take a good look at the various industries and examine whether the shopkeeper is loyal or not.

Therefore, the accounts are looked at very carefully, and the old accounts over the years are also compared.

Lan's family kept the stewards to live in the ancestral house, and sent them away only after the accounts were settled and bonuses for the New Year were paid.

Qiao Mingjin and Lan's were busy looking at the account books, but Mother Qiao couldn't help, so she took over the affairs of the ancestral house.

Now she is under the guidance of Lan's, and there are two mothers beside her to guide her, so generally there will be no mistakes.

There are stewards everywhere in the ancestral house, and there are old rules to consult about everything. She just sits in the flower hall and listens to the servants and women's reports, and stamps the money request list to let them go.If she can't make a decision, she will report to Lan Shi to know.

After a few days of continuous rotation, it was the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and the year was getting closer.

The New Year's goods at home are about to be prepared.

This is the first year that the Lan family and Qiao Jingkun have returned to their ancestral home. The clan members and acquaintances in Yizhou City are all watching, so there must be no mistakes.

Furthermore, there is filial piety in the family this year, so naturally it can't be like ordinary people.It is even more careful not to make mistakes.

If something went wrong, the Qiao family's concubine would really be laughed at.Lan didn't want to be laughed at that they came from the countryside.

After twenty, Lan threw the ledger at Qiao Mingjin, and took Qiao's mother to Zhang Luo.

Qiao Mingjin looked at the thick boxes of account books, her head was as big as a bucket.

This is not only careful but also fast.The shopkeeper and the people in charge are still waiting for her to go home for the New Year after checking the accounts.

Fortunately, after entering [-], Ming Yu and Ming Qi also quit their studies.Also come to help one or two.

Ming Qi and Wan'er had learned abacus from Qiao Mingjin. Although Ming Yu was not skilled in abacus, she was able to read accounts now, although she couldn't keep up with her speed.But fortunately, I can share one or two.

Qiao Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief.

The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the day of the new year.

Qiao Mingjin was taking her two younger sisters to set the abacus in a room lit with several braziers, and the whole room could only hear the crackling of the abacus.

Chunya raised the curtain and came in to report in a low voice, saying that the old lady asked her to meet guests in Sanchun Hall.

Qiao Mingjin didn't raise her head: "It's fine if the old lady sees you. I'm busy right now."

Anyway, as long as the relatives of the Qiao family have Lan Shi and Qiao's mother, she is a married woman, and the family does not necessarily have to see her.

Chun Ya carefully looked up at her.And said: "The old lady said that visitors must see the eldest lady."

Qiao Mingjin paused and looked up at her.

Chunya was afraid that she would disturb Qiao Mingjin's work, so she lowered her head in anxiety.

"Is the visitor male or female?"

"Yes, it's a man."

Qiao Mingjin's heart skipped a beat.

Why did the male guest insist on seeing her by name?Her grandmother also asked her to meet?

He exchanged a glance with Ming Yu and Ming Qi, then put down his pen and stood up.Ming Yu and Ming Qi thought about it and followed her to get up.

Who must see my sister?Maybe they knew each other too.

When Qiao Mingjin led his two younger sisters to Sanchun Hall, Yue Zhongyao had already drank several cups of boiling hot tea.

He was distraught on the road.

Thinking of seeing his wife and daughter.On the way, I just keep my head on the road, and don't go to the hotel when I enter the city.Just make do with the night in the wild, cold water mixed with dry food to fill my stomach.At dawn the next day, I was in a hurry again...

In this way, he arrived in Yizhou on the day of Xiaonian.

If you want to spend a full year with your wife and daughter, you can achieve your wish.

Thinking about this journey of finding his wife, Yue Zhongyao felt a little emotional.

The decision to divide the family was not difficult. Everyone in the family was prepared. The old father also said that the family would be separated after the next year, but he brought the time forward.

It's just that the decision to go down to the county prince's mansion as a guard is very difficult.

At the beginning, he wanted to make some achievements, protect his wife and daughter well, and let his wife and daughter live a prosperous life.Only then did I accept the job in the county government.

Later, when he saw his wife drifting away from him, he felt terrified and uneasy.So he quit his job and just wanted to go home and watch over his wife.

It was not easy to adapt to the life of a farmer who worked from sunrise to sunset, and accidents happened frequently at home, causing his wife and daughter to avoid him...

Doing things in the county government is completely different from doing things in the county prince's mansion.

Although they are all working under the hands of others, as a policeman, if he does not make a big mistake, the county magistrate can't dispose of him at will, after all, he is also considered a tolerance.

But if he works as a guard in the county prince's mansion, although he may have some ambitions in the future, his own life is in the hands of others.

In fact, he really didn't like this feeling.

On the battlefield, although life and death are only a momentary matter, you may not be able to wake up from a dream, and the future is equally unknown.But at least his life is still in his own hands, if his skills are not as good as others and his head is chopped off, he can't blame others.

But this enters the county prince's mansion...

He is really confused...

Originally, he wanted to go around to Yizhou to meet his wife and daughter before going to Beijing, but Yu Ding sent a letter to Beijing early because of his promise.Only halfway to the county prince's mansion, someone was sent to meet him.

Reluctantly, he changed his way to Beijing again.

Expressed his position in front of the king of the county, and begged the king of the county to give him a one-month holiday so that he could go to Yizhou to see his wife and daughter before returning to work for the king of the county.

I thought the request was a little too much, but I didn't expect the county king to accept it.

He hurried on the road, but he didn't expect that the closer he got to Yizhou, the more timid and uneasy he felt... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)

ps: There should be another chapter.When I returned from a trip on May [-]st, I fell ill.Cold and cough.It was just a cough.I didn't want to take medicine either, so I carried it on my shoulders, boiled mung bean water for a few days, just wanted to clear away the heat and detoxify, my throat felt comfortable after drinking it, but it was still itchy the next day.The cough has gotten worse in the past two days. Today I woke up with a sore throat. I climbed out and bought a bunch of cough drops. I fell asleep after eating...
