Yipin Tianxia

In a blink of an eye, it is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, breaking the garden.

The sun in winter is always thin and weak, and it is easy to see a stronger sun this day. The maids and women don't need to be told, they are busy taking out the pillows and quilts from each room to wash, wash, and dry them in the sun.

The open space at the back of the garden for play and play is filled with ropes stretched horizontally and vertically, and colorful quilts are hung to dry, which is quite spectacular.

Xue Li stood at the back door of the kitchen, squinted and smiled for a while, and Mrs. Zhang shouted, "Miss Sydney, it's done!"

Sydney hurriedly walked in, "Thank you, ma'am."

"Why are you being polite? The princess eats happily, so my face is radiant." Aunt Zhang wrapped her hands in a thick rag, put a small lotus stew pot on the stove into the food box, and put clean dishes and handed them to her , and suddenly sighed again, "Oh, my uncle is not here, and the princess has lost her appetite. It will be Chinese New Year soon, and I don't know if I can make it back."

Sydney smiled, and the good mood that had just been aroused by the sun sank.

Before, I was worried every day outside, but when I returned to the capital, it was not easy.Not to mention anything else, just look at the princess's plummeting appetite.

I just hope that the county horse will come back soon, these messy things will pass quickly, and everyone will have a good New Year.Set off firecrackers to get rid of bad luck, just like this quilt that has been washed to dry. When the New Year comes, it will be very happy and have a new start.

She thought all the way, carrying the food box all the way to the yard.Just turning on a small bridge, I happened to meet a young man who guarded the gate and sent a post for Nianfu.Sydney accepted it without any hassle, and walked into the house.But I saw Cui Rong came back, on the kang under the window with the sun, and settled accounts with Nian Fu.

Cui Rong, who has taken over the post of steward of Xianyuan, is now nicknamed the God of Wealth Sister by her family. It must be a good thing for her to come back.Xueli pursed her lips and smiled, put the post aside, and gave Nianfu soup first.

The quail soup with yam and wolfberry that has been simmered for half a day is only such a small cup, and the soup is thick and delicious.Just took off the cover.The aroma is tempting to move one's index finger.

Xue Li just brought out a small bowl, and said after reading a blessing, "Add another bowl for Cui Rong, and give her the quail."

Cui Rong hurriedly said, "How can this be done? Princess, you have twin bodies now, so you need to eat more."

Nianfu smiled. "Although this account is not finished, I guess you have made a lot of money for me this year, so what's the point of rewarding you with a quail?"

Cui Rong still refused, Xue Li had already found another bowl, tore up the legs of two quails to Nian Fu, and brought the rest of the meat to her. "The princess rewards you, so you can eat it. Someone will accompany her. She can eat more deliciously. Look at the princess, there is no other meat. Just these few legs, you don't want to eat them again, Mrs. Zhang It's time to cry."

Cui Rong said angrily, "You little hoof, now you can make up your own mind?"

Sydney answered playfully. "That's what my sister taught me!"

This made everyone laugh, Cui Rong laughed and reproached her.Finally got the soup.Accompanied by someone, Nianfu also ate the whole bowl of soup, and the two discussed Xianyuan's account again.

Originally, Nianfu planned that it would be good to recover the capital in one year, but he didn't expect to start to make a profit before winter.The business for next year has already been scheduled until March.

Since there is money to be made, she is not stingy, and orders everyone to be paid double salary at the end of the year, and some who do a particularly good job will be rewarded.

"Also, the whole family told everyone that due to the new addition to the family, everyone's monthly payment will increase by [-]% next year. You can ask the steward to make a new case and show it to me later. It will be paid from the first month. "

This is really good news, all the maids expressed their gratitude.Cui Rong took the lead to congratulate and said, "Then we have to pray day and night, the princess will bring more newcomers to the family, so that we can take advantage of the little master and increase the monthly payment a few more times."

She doesn't want to be this model worker.Nianfu glanced at her, but seeing everyone's smiling faces made her feel very happy.

Unexpectedly, once the good things started, they would happen one after another.

First, the old lady sent someone to say that Ouyang Mulan had written again.She had given birth to a fat boy weighing eight catties in May of this year, Wei Yinian was overjoyed, Gao Xiuru took the initiative to record the child in his own name, and specially reported it to the court to prove his identity.

Then Ouyang Zhuang was promoted.

Although he was only promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank, he was awarded a county magistrate.If you do well, there is great hope for your official career in the future.

Ouyang Zhuang knew in his heart that he was able to be promoted, mostly because of his meritorious service in returning to his hometown with his elder brother this time, so he got into the eyes of the emperor.Therefore, I am very respectful in front of Nianfu, and thank you again and again.

Nianfu said, "You don't have to thank your brother. If you don't make progress yourself, it will be useless for him to try hard. It's just that although you are a small official, you will never come back within three years if you go thousands of miles away. , what should I say about this marriage?"

Mrs. Tan hurriedly said, "That's not the case? I'm also in a hurry. So I want to ask the old lady for an idea. Should I send someone to talk to the Fu family? The two of you will go on the road together. Otherwise, Zhuang'er will not have someone to take care of me, and I won't feel at ease."

Nianfu immediately said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's talk about my post now. After all, I am a sister-in-law and a peer, so I can open my mouth. If people don't like it, I won't lose grandma's face."

Tan's heart is very grateful, even if Nianfu is a junior, but the face of the princess is much greater than that of the old lady.With her on board, the Fu family will definitely not make things difficult.

Sure enough, as soon as Nianfu's post went, the Fu family quickly asked people to write back, expressing their willingness.After being engaged for such a long time, the woman's things have already been prepared in a hurry. Even if there is a slight shortage, the Ouyang family will not be offended.So someone came and said, just wait for Ouyang's family to finalize the wedding date, and then they can come to marry.

Now Mrs. Tan is going to be busy.The old lady hurriedly sent her back, saying that during the Chinese New Year, except for necessary occasions, she would not be required to attend.

Just after sending their mother and child away, Ouyang Kang came back.

Nianfu hurriedly asked, "How is the Shen family?"

Ouyang Kang stood by the fire with air-conditioning all over his body, and said, "The engagement has been divorced, but the Shen family lady is kind and righteous, and I was really sad. I just sent Yaozu home, and he ran away in his unlined clothes. I knelt in the snow for a while longer. A serious illness is inevitable. See if you have any good wild ginseng at home, find a few and send it to him."

Nianfu also felt sad in his heart, but it was good news that the matter could be resolved smoothly.Finding a good husband's family for Shen Min in the future will be more useful than apologizing ten thousand times.

Only then did he tell Ouyang Kang the good news about his family, and asked him to change his clothes to eat quickly, but Ouyang Kang said, "I don't want to eat. Find me some clean clothes, and I have to go to Guan's house after I change." "

how?

My heart sank when I read blessings.Ouyang Kang didn't want to disturb his grandmother, so he approached and whispered to Nianfu, "I went to Guan's house just now, only to find out that the emperor has issued an order in the court today, and at noon tomorrow, King Jin will be bestowed with death. The same is true for Pei's family. High fever. Still insisting on going to see Mr. again in person. I changed my clothes now, went to meet with him first, brought Yaoqing back, and then prepared the things that should be prepared."

The recitation was silent, but Ouyang Kang raised her chin, "Let's have a smile."

Seen too many scowls these days.He also needs a smiling face to cheer himself up.

Nian Fu suddenly spread his hand at him. "Give money."

Ouyang Kang was slightly taken aback.

Nianfu said blankly, "Don't you have to pay for laughing?"

Ouyang Kang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed out by himself.Gently scraping off her nose, I just felt much more relaxed, "Then I'm leaving."

"Go." Nianfu looked at him with a smile, "Be careful on the road. It's dark and the road is slippery. I'd rather slow down. Don't rush home."

"Understood." Ouyang Kang turned his head and smiled, suddenly becoming playful.He stretched out his hand and flicked her slightly protruding belly, and wanted to ask, when will this watermelon be ripe?

Unexpectedly, Nianfu's stomach moved slightly.

Ouyang Kang's expression changed instantly.

He stared at his fingers in disbelief, then turned his gaze to Nianfu's stomach, and said with a trembling voice, "This, this, this...why did he move? Please call the doctor, go call the imperial physician!"

Chanting was speechless.

Fortunately, this person has the nerve to brag that he is calmer than his father. Looking at this, his face is pale with fright.

The old lady sitting over there listened to the movement and laughed, "You silly boy, it's been three months already, it would be scary if there was no movement in her stomach. Your wife started to have movements two days ago It’s just that you’re not at home, so you don’t know.”

What, what?

Young Master Ouyang put one knee on the ground regardless of his appearance, and listened to his daughter-in-law's stomach, asking questions like a cannonball, "Is this normal? Then he moves inside, isn't it to say that he is uncomfortable?"

Stretching out his hand, he poked carefully again, his face full of confusion, "Why didn't he move again?"

Nianfu couldn't take it anymore, and picked up the silly father from the ground, "Hurry up and get on with your business, you still have plenty of time to study him."

Hmm... ok.Ouyang Kang was reluctant to let go, and looked back at her stomach as she walked out.He just went out, but suddenly turned around and ran back, and said in a hurry, "He must be hungry! You should eat quickly, don't dawdle any longer. Well, eat more."

Everyone in the room laughed, but Ouyang Kang didn't realize it, and confessed with a serious face, "Don't be picky eaters. Eat a little of everything. If you don't like it, maybe he likes it? Take a walk after eating, Also move around, don't be lazy and don't want to move. Let someone support you, just walk under the corridor, not cold but stable. Grandma, help me keep an eye on her."

"Okay." The old lady cheerfully responded, chanting blessings and looking at the sky speechlessly.

Who is this talker?

But this time, Ouyang Kang's mood was much better than before when he was teased by Nianfu.In other words, there are more things to focus on, so I am no longer sad.

He grinned and patted her belly again, smiling silly, "Then dad is gone, I'll be back in a while. Be obedient and obedient, you know?"

After saying this, he left contentedly.With his head held high and his chest held high, it seemed that he had done some great event.So much so that Nianfu felt that if he had a tail at this moment, he would definitely be trembling.

But putting her hands on her belly, she also smiled.

Although there are always all kinds of unsatisfactory things in life, there are still many beautiful and worth looking forward to.

Far away, I don't know which family lit firecrackers again.The new year is coming, as long as they are still alive, there is always hope to wait until the spring blossoms. (To be continued.
