Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 205
After Ning Wan rang the big bell, Fang wanted to go downstairs, so she borrowed Tie Shi's name to go up to the bell tower to watch it, but it was hard to stay longer.

She didn't want to turn around and saw a different scene. It turned out that when she went upstairs, she was only staring at the big clock and didn't look anywhere else. Now when she raised her eyes, she saw the entire Anping Guard under her feet, and she was stunned.

Anpingwei in Nuoda, as majestic and tall as usual, is now indescribably peaceful and peaceful in the morning light. The heavy roofs are lined up in front of the eyes, covering all the streets, and only a few big trees come from between the roofs. In the distance, there is a city wall, which separates the fields.

There were drums sounding on the opposite side of the clock tower. It turns out that there are four main streets in Anpingwei, which just intersect to form a well. On top of it is a big drum.If the sound of bells is loud and clear, then the sound of drums is calm and distant, each with its own soul-stirring features, Ning Wan couldn't help but feel moved.

The little flag guarding the bell tower smiled and said: "Everyone usually says that the morning bell and the evening drum, but in fact, Anpingwei rings the bell first and then the drum every morning, but at night at Xu time, it rings the drum first and then rings the bell." The gates of Weili City are opened and closed by the sound of bells and drums, and now the gates are about to open."

Just as the bells and drums sounded, the sun slowly rose and shot its dazzling light into Zipingwei. At this time, the city gate also opened slowly, and the people lined up outside the city gate entered the city wall like flowing water. , there are many more people on the street, and the new year of Anpingwei has begun!

Xiao Qi said courteously again: "Sister-in-law, why don't you go to the Drum Tower to have a look. I know Xiao Qi there too, why don't I take the general and wife there."

How could Ning Wan bother them again, "With your care today, it is enough to go up to the bell tower to have a look."

Xiao Qi and the soldiers all gave way with a smile: "General Tie Shi and Mrs. Sister-in-law please come over when you are free!"

In fact, although a place like the Bell Tower is very beautiful, it is enough to come here once.Ning Wan thanked her again and again before going back, and said to Tie Shi, "I don't know if my mother-in-law is awake and worried about us."

"It doesn't matter," Tie Shi said with a smile, "Could it be possible that we two living beings can still be lost?"

Ning Wan laughed too, and just happened to meet a man selling meat wontons with a burden, so she invited him over, "How many wontons do you have on this burden? How much does it cost?"

The wonton seller saw that the person who asked the question was dressed, and after hearing the voice, he knew that it was a big business, so he quickly put down his burden and said with a smile: "One end of my burden is fire and water, and the other end is wrapped fresh meat wontons. It just came out earlier, there are a total of [-] wontons and one has not been sold, it is exactly [-] bowls, and a bowl costs [-] yuan, if Madam wants it, I will put down the fire to cook wontons wherever I want, and I will get them in a while."

Ning Wan waved her hand and said, "Well, I'll give you half a tael of silver. You take the burden to the bell tower and give this load of wontons to the soldiers guarding the bell tower." She took out half a tael of silver.

Half a tael of silver is more than 800 yuan, and the wonton seller was overjoyed, "I must have good fortune this year, and I will meet a nobleman as soon as I go out on the New Year's Day!" Bowing and bowing: "Thank you, Madam, for the reward!" Then to Ning Wan Tie Shi beside him thanked him, "I'll take the burden and cook wontons for the soldiers, so that everyone will be satisfied!"

After the wonton vendor left, Lu Tieshi smiled at Ning Wan, "You really are very thoughtful, and you know how to be considerate. Ever since we got engaged, those comrades in the army have always said that you take care of me."

"It's not easy for them to follow you to fight and build the city wall. Naturally, I should take care of it." Ning Wan glanced at Tie Shi again and said, "But in terms of carefulness, I'm actually not as good as you."

Tie Shi heard something, and hurriedly asked: "Since you are not as good as me, why don't you tell me?"

"Never mind anything else, why did the clock strike eighteen times just now?"

"My beloved Wan'er is this year!" Lu Tieshi said, then leaned over and said in a nonchalant manner: "It's a good year like a flower!"

"Aren't you also in the prime of a man's life!"

How wonderful!They got married in their best years and lived a sweet life together!
The two looked at each other with a smile, turned back to Lu's mansion and entered the main room, saw that the mother-in-law had washed up, and when they came back, they said: "I'm waiting for you to eat."

The two hurriedly washed up, and at this time, the servants had already put the food on the table.It is customary in Liaodong to eat dumplings in the morning on the first day of the new year, so there are still several kinds of dumplings for breakfast, accompanied by delicate dim sum, side dishes, and two kinds of rice porridge.Mrs. Wu invited her daughter-in-law to sit down with her, "The rule in the house is that each person has his own breakfast."

Ning Wan nodded. It is true that rich families are rich, but it is rare for a family to sit at the table when eating.After all, the family has a large population and complex identities. It is very troublesome for the wife, aunt, uncle and sister-in-law, and it is not easy to sit, especially since breakfast is mostly delivered to each room, which is convenient.So she took two vegetarian dumplings for her mother-in-law, and then sat aside. She had been married to Tie Shi for more than a month, and if the three of them were together, they would eat together.

Mrs. Wu only ate a dumpling to respond to the scene, and she was half lying on a pillow, not showing much energy.

Ning Wanming knew her mother-in-law's knot in her mind, but she couldn't tell the truth, she just advised: "It must be because I went to bed too late last night, so I got sleepy. Let's go to bed after dinner later."

Lu Tieshi also persuaded, "Mother, take a good rest after dinner, you have to drive home in the afternoon."

Mrs. Wu just smiled, "I'm fine, just choose a seat in another place, just go home." But she told her son and daughter-in-law, "Eat more, and then go to the flower hall to play with everyone. happy!"

Ning Wan filled half a bowl of clear porridge and sent it up, saying, "Mum, let's go after drinking the porridge."

Mrs. Wu just drank one sip, but Lu Tiecheng and Lu Tieyuan came, and said with a smile: "There is a friend in the army who is making an appointment, why don't we go together."

Tie Shi didn't want to go, but before he opened his mouth, Mrs. Wu said: "It's rare for you brothers to be together, so it's good to have fun together."

Just at this time, a little girl suddenly ran in, holding a beautiful gift box and brought it up, "This is for the second grandma, Madam asked me to deliver it."

Seeing that there was a bright red New Year's greeting post on the gift box, Ning Wan opened it and smiled, "So it's her."

Everyone knew that it was the first time for Ning to visit Anpingwei, and she only arrived yesterday, so it was a miracle that she received a New Year's greeting post today.

Lu Tieyuan took a step forward and stretched out his head to look, and asked with a smile: "Anyone knows that the second sister-in-law came to Anpingwei, I'm afraid it's someone who does business together." He has a heart for comparison, but he is very dissatisfied with his second brother, who is also a legitimate son, and always wants to be better than one or two.

Although last night he belittled his daughter-in-law behind his back, but now in front of his brothers he wants to show that his daughter-in-law is always the daughter of an official family, so all the people who come and go are officials and officials, but the second sister-in-law can only deal with merchants and farmers , no matter how rich the merchants and farmers are, they are still far behind.

Ning Wan didn't want to say who it was, but after listening to Lu Tieyuan's words, she could understand his careful thoughts, so she didn't put away the greeting card, and said with a smile: "It's my cousin's aunt, and now she's married to Commander Lu. Eldest son, when he heard that I had arrived in Anpingwei, he sent someone to pay New Year's greetings, and asked me if I was free to visit Lu's house."

Although the commander Tongzhi is half a level lower than the commander, they belong to the commander's subordinates and are in charge of different affairs.Commanders mainly focus on assisting commanders in defending the city, while commanders focus more on other affairs in the guard, such as ordnance, food, military merits, etc., so they hold more real power.Especially the Lu family, who are in charge of all the military documents of Anpingwei, records of military achievements, casualties, and pension booklets, which is exactly what everyone is willing to make a good deal of.

Lu Tieyuan was immediately discouraged when he heard it. It turned out that the relatives of the second sister-in-law's natal family were quite high-ranking, so they quietly retreated behind Lu Tiecheng. She is the daughter of Zhao's family, Dianshi of Hutai County, but hers?"

The most powerful people in Anpingwei are Commanders, Commanders, Commanders Tongzhi, etc. It is not uncommon for their children to know each other, Ning Wan nodded and smiled, "That's right, my cousin married the Dianshi Zhao's family in Hutai County. "

"The young master of the Lu family will also be here today, and Tie Shi will go with us!" Lu Tieyuan dragged Tie Shi out even more desperately, "Your relatives must visit more often."

The family Mrs. Zhao promised her daughter was very good. The Lu family was in charge of the paperwork, so Anpingwei and his superiors could not hide everything from them. Moreover, they were restricted by the registration of military merits. Even Commander Zhou was very polite to their family.The Lu family doesn't show much on weekdays, and they are just good people living a good life.Ning Wan also wanted Tie Shi to have more contact with the Lu family, so she gave him a wink and motioned for him to go out, just in time to quietly persuade her mother-in-law.

Some things can only be said between women, and it is not convenient for him to be around.

Lu Tieshi understood it, and said: "It's okay if I follow you to see everyone, but we will go back to Yue's house tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings, so we must come back early." Only then did he go out with his brothers.

Ning Wan at home ordered Bai Shi, "Take out a copy of the festival gift in my car and bring it back to someone from the Lu family, take a red envelope of two silver coins as a reward, and give the girl who delivered the letter a handful of money to buy candy. .”

After Bai Shi and the girl went down, she and her mother-in-law opened the gift boxes, and saw several tonics, ten new-style embroidered handkerchiefs, exquisite snacks, various preserved fruits, etc., although they were all homely things , but just thinking about Lu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he smiled and said: "Mrs. Lu is as good at socializing as her mother."

After talking, I washed my hands and picked some snacks for my mother-in-law to taste, and then told my mother-in-law about Mrs. Lu Shao, "I heard from Mrs. Zhao that her daughter is married to Gao, and there are two levels of mother-in-law, old lady and wife. There are also a few uncles and aunts who are not separated, and there are many uncles and sisters-in-laws. In fact, it is the most difficult. But Mrs. Zhao teaches her daughter to live a good life by herself. The second is to give birth to a son and raise him well. The rest is optional. None."

Although Mrs. Zhao said similar things, Ning Wan actually took the opportunity to persuade her mother-in-law. Now that Tie Shi has grown up and is so promising, why is he still thinking about it because of her father-in-law?The father-in-law's heart has long been to the country of Java, and he can't get it back at all.If you can't recognize this, your mother-in-law will still have a hard time.

Mrs. Wu was the same as usual, she didn't immediately understand what her daughter-in-law said, she just casually asked about Mrs. Lu's affairs, Ning Wan was not in a hurry, she knew that it was impossible to persuade her mother-in-law all at once, she could only subtly influence her After a while, he smiled and told her what he knew, "Miss Zhao is very good-looking. A few years ago, she played the role of a fairy when she was visiting the city god in Hutai County. I heard that Young Master Lu took a fancy to it... She was blessed again, and she gave birth to a son when she arrived at Lu's house..."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, and seeing her mother-in-law's eyelids drooping, Ning Wan leaned on the pillow and fell asleep. Knowing that she probably didn't sleep last night, she covered her with the quilt and retreated out.He took some money and told Mrs. Bai to ask Lao Lin to go outside to buy some things. There is no need to take them back to Lu's house, just put them in the car, and prepare to send them back to Hutai County.
