Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 676

Guan Wen only thought that Yang'er had respect for the man in the officialdom, and thought that he was going with Young Master Wen, and the Wen family would take good care of him, so he was relieved and told Yang'er, "Wen It's okay for Mr. Jia to take you there, but you have to listen to the Wen family's arrangement, and don't be reckless and cause trouble for others."

Yang'er nodded vigorously.

Li Xin reached into his neck and felt sweat in his neck.He touched his face again, but it was very cold, so he quickly ordered Qing Ya to bring hot water, and asked Yang Er to calm down, drink some hot tea to warm his body.

While watching Yang'er sipping from a teacup, Li Xin said: "Since you are going to see the senior officials tomorrow, don't be too casual in your words and deeds. Follow the Wen family, and the senior officials will see the Wen family's family." For face, if you ignore you, don't feel resentful. I don't know what kind of character that official is... just follow Chen Zhong honestly and politely."

Yang'er nodded, licked his lips and said, "Mother, Chen Zhong said that the senior official should call him uncle, as if he is somewhat related to their family."

Li Xin smiled.

The officialdom is complicated, and the Wen family is a branch of the family anyway. Isn't it easy to get involved with any official?
Qingya brought water, Yang'er washed her face, and looked around again to talk to Yoyo.Li Xin asked Qing Ya to take him to see his sister.

When Yang'er went to Wen's house the next day, Li Xin prepared some courtesies for Ting Jiu to take with her.Ting Jiu is older than Shen Hu, and acts more safely, making him feel more at ease with Li Xin by Yang'er's side.

"Mother, it's not a solar term today, why did you send a gift to Wen's house?" Yang'er turned around and asked Li Xin when she saw Ting Jiu was carrying a gift.

Li Xin patted his head and said, "You are able to meet the important person only thanks to the Wen family's blessing. How can you not give a gift? This is our gratitude to them."

Yang'er sighed, and said like a little adult: "I have a very good relationship with Chen Zhong, so there is no need to give gifts."

Li Xin nodded his forehead and said with a smile: "You have a good relationship with Chen Zhong. It is because of the friendship between you two, but etiquette cannot be discarded. If he takes you to meet a high-ranking official, we have accepted his favor, so we have to pay back, right?" ? Besides, what mother gave is not a big gift, just a small gift, just a little expression of heart."

Yang Er squinted her eyes and nodded, said with a smile: "Mother, you are so kind."

Li Xin scolded him with a smile, and asked Ting Jiu to take care of him wholeheartedly, only then did he see them get into the carriage and drive to Wen's house.

This matter was just a small episode, Li Xin forgot about it in a blink of an eye, and devoted herself to childcare and education.

Yoyo is two years old, and she can say some vague words, which makes her screaming smoothly.It's just that Yoyo loves to laugh, but rarely speaks. Unless someone teases her, she will enjoy herself.

Li Xin is obsessed with teasing her now.

You are a small and soft person, full of milk fragrance, and clear eyes fixed on you, it melts your heart just by looking at you.Youyou's mouth is small, opening and closing, revealing pink gums and erupted teeth, so happy that Li Xin wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her again and again.

Yoyo's favorite names are "Father" and "Mother".If Guan Wen and Li Xin were by her side, she would speak more positively. After playing for a while, she would raise her head and call out, with the ending upturned, which made people feel itchy.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the cleaning work of the house has also been brought up.Taking advantage of the fine weather one day, Li Xin asked Mother Cao to take someone to clean every corner of the house thoroughly, and then took Qing Ya to check the items in the warehouse with her already protruding belly.A-mei was free, and she also followed Li Xin to help her deal with things, which relieved some of the sadness of reconciling and leaving.

In the afternoon when she was busy, Mama Cao came over in a hurry and said that the uncle was here but the master was not at home. Manager Cao asked the uncle to wait in the front hall and told his wife to go over quickly.

Li Xin asked Amei to handle the following matters, leaving Qing Ya as her assistant, and went to the front hall with the fruit in her arms.

Li Dalang was chatting with Guanshi Cao, when he saw Li Xin coming, he quickly showed a smile, put the little girl in his arms on the ground, came up and clapped his hands, and said to Youyou: "Yuyou, look who I am?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Yuyou, call me Uncle."

"Big Chirp..." Yoyo blinked and let Li Dalang hold her in his arms.

"Ge'er, come here quickly, let my sister take a look." Li Xin waved at the little girl Li Dalang put down, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, Ge'er has grown up a bit."

Li Ge walked steadily, hugged Li Xin's leg, and smiled sweetly: "Sister..."

Li Ge is young, but his seniority is older, only one year older than Yoyo, but she is Yoyo's aunt.

Li Xin led her to sit down, and asked Yoyo to call her, but Yoyo blinked and only called her sister, making Li Dalang and Li Xin dumbfounded.

Li Ge was very helpful, he kept looking at Yoyo curiously, the two little girls who were not much different in age could play together.

"Brother, why are you here today?" Li Xin invited Li Dalang to drink tea, and then asked aloud: "I also brought Geer here, but what's the matter at home?"

"I don't have much to do at home, but it's the Chinese New Year soon, so I'm just a little busy." Li Dalang said with a smile: "Mother asked me to discuss with you about this year's Chinese New Year. God. The family doesn't have enough staff, and my mother is too busy. Ge'er has been running around since she learned to walk and run. If you don't pay attention, you can't watch her. She has been talking about you for a long time, and she said she would come to your place to eat well. Food, the noise made my mother have a headache. My mother asked me to bring her and let her be taken care of by you for a few days, at least you have more people here."

Li Xin nodded knowingly: "Okay, let her play with me for two days. Someone will take care of her, so I don't need to worry too much."

Li Dalang took a sip of tea and asked Li Xin, "How is your body? Is my little nephew making trouble in your stomach?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "It's not much fuss, it's just a normal reaction of a woman to be pregnant. Don't worry about my eldest brother when he goes back."

"Mother is just afraid that Ge'er will make you worry about it by your side."

"I'm fine. Ge'er has always been obedient in front of me, so she won't let me bother."

Li Xin pointed to Li Ge who was very happy to come and play with Youyou, and said with a smile: "How do you think that our Geer is beautiful, and she is still so young, so it is not allowed to come to propose marriage in the future Those of you, you are really going to break through the threshold of your family."

Li Dalang said happily: "Don't tell me, my mother specially hired a Taoist priest to show Ge'er's face. They all said that she has a full sky, thick earlobes, round eyes, and a round face. She just looks like a girl." Fortune. Even so, the facial features are delicate and well-proportioned. Adding in the date and time of birth, it is the fate of a lifetime of wealth and wealth, without worrying about food and clothing."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Ge'er is so lucky? Mother is very happy."

"Not only mother is happy, but father is also very happy, and he went to offer a few incense candles to that stone." Li Dalang laughed and shook his head when he said this: "father said that grandpa and grandma are protecting by the spirit of heaven, mother is not happy to hear that, look at father I went to worship the stone again, and then I had another quarrel with my father." Li Dalang said: "Mother is more and more reluctant to see my father offering that stone."

"It's just a dead thing, it's nothing to offer it, it doesn't cost much money." Li Xin said with a smile: "Mother and father have been arguing like this for a lifetime, and this is how they get along with each other, isn't it? What a big deal."

Li Xin paused, then asked Li Dalang: "By the way, third uncle, Li Fu is not young anymore, did you tell him?"

Li Dalang shook his head: "Our family is not very good with the third uncle's family. Besides, one is in the town and the other is in the village, and we don't have much contact. The third uncle rarely comes back, and he didn't send any news. Last time Brother Wen borrowed 50 taels Third Uncle only came back to talk about the matter of giving silver to Third Uncle, and I haven’t heard about the rest.”

Li Xin responded in a low voice, and said: "I don't have much contact with them, and I don't know about it. I just thought that if Li Fu marries a wife, he must go back to the village and tell his two uncles. Since there is no news, That must be unbelievable."

"Third Uncle's house is in chaos, and the people who love their daughter probably don't want to marry her to their family." Li Dalang said in a low voice: "Third Uncle's house is probably empty, and his blacksmith shop is not profitable. The people in the shop were dishonest and cut corners, and gradually no one came to ask the people in his shop to forge things."

To open a door to do business, reputation is very important.If Uncle Li Hou really did this, the loss of customers would be an inevitable result.

Li Xin sighed, thinking that her third uncle borrowed 50 taels and repaid 20 taels, and then went to 30 taels... If Li Fu married an ordinary peasant girl, the money would be more than enough.

"Forget it, let's not worry about the other family's affairs." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Brother, stay here for one night, and go back tomorrow?"

Li Dalang shook his head: "I will go to my second brother to discuss with him later, he runs a shop in the town, and I have to settle some matters with him."

Li Dalang said again: "You have also discussed with Brother Wen, when you will come back, someone will notify the family two days in advance."

Li Xin nodded.

"Ge'er will stay here with you, and I'll pick her up in a few days."

"No, just take her back when I go back." Li Xin smiled and said, "The family is busy anyway, so I can take care of her here."

Now that Li Xin said so, Li Dalang naturally nodded and said: "That's it, but you don't let her make trouble. She still has a stubborn temper when she is stubborn."

Li Xin nodded and smiled, "Okay, I see."

Li Dalang went to look for Li Erlang at the pier, Cao's mother went back and forth with Li Xin for some chores, and then resigned.Qingya accompanied Li Xin, and Guozi, Xiaowen, and Shuang'er played with Li Ge and Youyou. Li Xin was looking a little drowsy when Cao's mother suddenly ran over and said to Li Xin: "Ma'am, what about Aunt Cui?" The people around said that Mu Chun seemed to have a fever, and her body was burning hot, and Aunt Cui was also a little bit unwell... Is this servant going to send someone to call the doctor?"

Li Xin hurriedly sat up straight, and the drowsiness subsided immediately: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you call the doctor!"
