Chapter 199
Breakfast was eaten early, and lunch was also eaten early. Apart from filling one portion for Bai Shi and Lao Lin in the old house, there was still a large bowl of dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage for the people from Anpingwei to eat. .

But the dumplings wrapped in a small quilt in the basin had completely cooled down, and it was already past noon, and before people arrived, the mother-in-law's face turned paler, and she couldn't even force a smile.

Ning Wan remembered how she shamed Mrs. Zhou when she got married. Maybe Mrs. Zhou made things difficult for her because of that?Just as he was about to speak, Tie Shi said, "Mother, if they don't come to pick you up, I'll take you there!"

Although the mother-in-law was eagerly waiting for this moment, she became worried again at this moment, "Your father didn't send someone to pick us up, so it's not good for us to pass like this."

"What's wrong!" Tie Shi said, "Since he is my father, I should pay him New Year's greetings!" Then he got up and asked Lao Lin to prepare the carriage.

It is for this reason that the mother-in-law is the first wife of the father-in-law, and she should be together during the Chinese New Year!It's just that Tie Shi didn't say this, and Ning Wan couldn't make up her mind.

When the son made a decision, the mother-in-law, who had always had no idea, was naturally willing to listen, and a smile appeared on her face again, "Okay, let's go." She had already changed her clothes, wearing the red dress that Ning Wan made for her The purple jacket is covered with a red and auspicious Ruyi flower bedding, and a cloth towel was carefully wrapped around the meal just now, lest it get dirty.

Ning Wan looked at her mother-in-law's head again, she was only wearing an ordinary round bun with two ordinary gold hairpins on the back of her head, very old-fashioned, she smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, it will take a while to prepare the car, I will help you re- Let's comb your hair." Going back to her room, she took shavings and water, tied a solemn bun on her head for her mother-in-law, and got up to ask Lao Lin to prepare a carriage.Then he took out a ruby ​​hairpin from his sleeve and stuck it in the middle. It was the one Mrs. Zhao gave her, and it was also given by Mrs. Zhao when she was ready to appear in front of the wives and wives of a wealthy family in Hutai County for the first time. her.

This hairpin is made of red gold, the shape is very simple, and the ruby ​​on it is not very big, but Xijieer's whole set of ruby ​​heads is only a fraction of this hairpin.Without it, the gems on this hairpin are of great color, authentic pigeon blood red, shining with bright starlight. When Ning Wan returned home and saw this hairpin again, her first thought was to take it back, but she still kept it. Now, she knew that she owed her a big favor just as Mrs. Zhao wished.

Such a hairpin should be solemnly worn out at such a time. Although the mother-in-law may not know its value, others will recognize it, and it is also the dignity of their family of three. Handed the mirror to the mother-in-law, "How about it? Look more energetic than before!" What's more, it still has a bit of the style of the main room!
The mother-in-law looked at herself who had changed greatly, her eyes were full of joy, but then she was worried again, "Is it too..."

Ning Wan took two steps back and took a closer look, "It's just right, decent and beautiful." Then she smiled and said to her mother-in-law: "My mother, my eldest aunt, and many neighbor women like to ask me what clothes I make, Mother-in-law just listen to me!"

At this time, Tie Shi came back after preparing the horse, and when he was listening to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he smiled and said, "Mother looks better than usual today, and she looks ten years younger." The mother-in-law laughed, "Why are you so glib?"

Tie Shi didn't understand this at all, and he never cared about his mother's clothes, but after marrying a wife, he changed a lot, especially last night, his wife taught him, so today's words are especially pleasing to my mother, " I'm not glib, but I really feel that my mother's energy is different after wearing this dress and combing her hair like this!"

Then he said to his daughter-in-law: "Do you also change your clothes, comb your hair again, and wear some good jewelry?"

Ning Wan smiled, "I want to change clothes, I'll do it all at once." As she said that, she went back to her room and changed her clothes. Because she had to sit in the car for a long time, she put on a sable Zhaojun hat, a big sable cloak, and a pair of embroidered shoes. He took off his cowhide boots, and when he came out, he saw that his mother-in-law had already boarded the car, so he quickly helped Tie Shi's hand and went up too.

Sitting in the car and seeing Bai squatting at the corner of the car, he called her, "Hurry up and sit down together, our family doesn't have so many rules." The mother-in-law is not from a wealthy family, and she has a good heart, so she nodded, "Come here, everyone A warm place." Ning Wan opened the sheepskin on the car again, wrapped the knees of the three of them, and then took out the freshly brewed tea, "It's still hot."

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "This carriage is really nice, and it's very comfortable to sit in."

"Tieshi specially sent someone to Anpingwei to buy it for us." In fact, it was the first time for my mother-in-law to sit in the car after buying it. Of course, it wasn't that Ning Wan wanted to dominate the car, but that it was rare for her mother-in-law to get out of the car once.Ning Wan said: "When the weather clears, I will accompany my mother-in-law to go for a drive in a carriage."

"I don't like to go out, and I don't like to go for a drive. If you young people like to go, go by yourself."

Although what her mother-in-law said didn't change much, Ning Wan still clearly felt that she was very happy today, and even her tone was very brisk.She was really looking forward to going to Anpingwei, so she couldn't suppress her excitement.Therefore, even though Tie Shi was unwilling to go to the Anpingwei Commander's Office, he still decided to take her there, and Ning Wan naturally agreed, because she knew that her mother-in-law would not be able to go there a few more times.

It snowed heavily yesterday, and the road was really difficult. Fortunately, Tie Shi and his followers are used to riding horses in the snow, and this car has a high frame, and Lao Lin is also a good driver, so although it took some work, it was very easy. It was still very smooth to get on the official road. The ground here is very flat, and someone gets up early to clean it, so it is much easier.

An hour later, the car stopped, and Tie Shi lifted the curtain and asked, "Half the distance, there is a post station just ahead, do you want to stop and have a rest?"

The mother-in-law shook her head and said: "It will take time to take a break, why not go there quickly, it will be convenient for you to do things with your father."

Seeing Tie Shi seeing her, Ning Wan quickly nodded her head, it doesn't matter to her, as long as her mother-in-law feels good.

So the group continued on, and walked for another half an hour. Suddenly the car stopped, and someone said: "I don't want to meet my wife and second master here! My little ones, please greet my wife and second master!"

Ning Wan opened the curtain, and saw a few servants riding horses and driving a carriage towards them. There was still a lantern with the word "Lu" hanging on the carriage. Obviously it was the carriage picking up her mother-in-law, and she met here.

A person in charge of the leader said: "We went out early in the morning. We didn't want the snow to fall heavily, and the car was stuck in the snowdrift. We finally waited for pedestrians to pass by and asked someone to help pull the car out, so I just came here. Fortunately, my wife and the second master came here, and they were able to catch up with Anpingwei to close the city gate."

The words were very earnest, and they gave in earnestly: "Ma'am, this is the car that Master and Mrs. Zhou ordered to prepare for you. Why don't you just move it over there."

Although the car that came to pick up her mother-in-law didn't look bad, it might not be as good as her own new carriage, and everyone sat together warmly and could talk and laugh. Ning Wan felt that there was no need to move any more, but her mother-in-law Get up quickly, "Tieshi, help me change the car."

Ning Wan also went down and helped her mother-in-law over there. Seeing that there was no blanket in the car over there, she turned around and called Bai, "You take the hand stove and the sheepskin and sit in the car with mother-in-law. Take care of me on the way. Take care of your mother-in-law." She should have gone to serve her mother-in-law, but she still didn't want to take the car there.

After returning to the car, the curtains of the car were lifted, Tie Shi stepped up, and said with a smile, "I'll stay with you."

Ning Wan said, "I'm not a child, how can I use you to accompany me?" But unconsciously smiled, "It's cold outside, so you can come in and sit for a while to warm up."

Tie Shi only wore a thin cotton coat inside. He has always disliked heavy clothes and felt that he could not move smoothly. Outside, Ning Wan put him on a fur cloak before leaving. Although he knew he was used to riding a horse, and Duolun's side was much colder than here, but Ning Wan was worried that he would be cold all the way.It's not easy to ask him to come to the car first, but now it's convenient.

Lu Tieshi laughed, "You sent over there all the things you need to keep out the cold. I came to accompany you because I was worried that you would be cold alone." He took off the cloak on his body and covered her tightly .

In fact, Ning Wan also had a cloak on her body, and it was thicker than the iron stone one, so she shook off the cloak and spread it on the knees of the two of them. When they got together, they soon felt warmer than holding a hand stove.

Lu Tieshi smiled and asked: "What kind of jewelry do you like? I'll buy it for you when I get back." He couldn't remember these things at first, but when he saw Wan'er put her best ruby ​​hairpin on her mother , also understand.

Ning Wan never thought that Tie Shi could think of these things. He was not a man like Gao Jun who grew up among women, and he didn't know anything about makeup, jewelry, silk, etc. He only noticed when he was in his heart, so he pursed his lips and smiled, "I have a lot of jewellery, so I'll let you know if I'm missing it." He then told him, "My mother is the wife of the principal house, and you must dress dignifiedly when you go to Anpingwei. I'm just a young daughter-in-law. It’s just to see the family, as long as the festivities are proper.”

"Good Wan'er, you treat me so well, even my mother."

"You understand everything." The so-called Aiwujiwu is like this. Ning Wan likes Tieshi, and even cares about her mother-in-law, and Tieshi has been very good to her family since a long time ago. Only in this way can the relationship between the two be deeper Woolen cloth.

After talking about jewelry, Lu Tieshi still has a question in his mind, "What's in your vegetarian dumplings?"

"What do you see?"

"It's because I didn't see anything that I felt that there must be something special." Lu Tieshi had an idea, "I have eaten vegetarian dumplings with my mother for so many years, and I have never eaten such delicious ones."

"I heard that when the vegetarian food was prepared in the palace of the previous dynasty, a clever imperial chef put the towel in the broth, boiled it, let it dry, and brought it to the palace. The taste is outstanding, and all the nobles appreciated it, so I also added some broth."

"But you didn't add broth when you made the vegetarian dumplings, didn't you?" I was watching from the side at the time, it was impossible for Wan'er to let it go secretly and hide it from him.

"Of course I didn't add it directly," Ning Wan said in a long voice, "It's just that I cooked the dried tofu in broth."

"You are so clever!"

"Mrs. Bi, who cooks medicinal meals, said that mother-in-law should eat some meat." Ning Wan had already inquired that Mrs. Wu did not believe in Buddhism and fasted. The reason why she didn't eat meat was because she couldn't afford it when she was young, but she got used to it later.So she asked the old woman to quietly add the broth to the dish little by little. The old woman couldn't eat it at all, and her eating was better than before. "I wanted to tell you, but you guessed it."

Lu Tieshi didn't want to be like this, and was very moved, "No wonder I think my mother's complexion is better than before, but I didn't think so carefully in the past, I really want to thank you."

"What is this?" According to Ning Wan's memory in her dream, her mother-in-law didn't live long, and she didn't even see her grandchildren. Now she tried her best, and the rest could only be left to fate.
