Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 344
Staying in the capital for the New Year, although it is inevitable to miss her hometown and children, Ning Wan has indeed seen the big world.

The court celebration banquet in the palace; the ice play garden in the harem, especially during the Shangyuan Festival, they went to the imperial city, overlooking the most prosperous city streets and the most gorgeous night scene in the world.

After the Lantern Festival, Ning Wan started to pack her luggage. Since Tieshi's Jinyiwei Commander will continue to work, she will go back to Liaodong to take Huai Hua'er and Song'er for a family reunion.

When I first came out from Liaodong, I only thought that I would go home in two or three months. How could I expect so many things to happen?She thinks the child can't think of it anymore.

Naturally, I have to buy a lot before going home.In fact, when she first arrived in the capital last year, Ning Wan had already bought a lot of presents, but now looking back, she realizes that the carefully selected things were not good enough, and now she has to start all over again.

Ning Wan pulled Luo Yan to accompany her, "You have good eyesight, help me make up my mind." Asking Luo Yan to help choose things is just an excuse, she actually wants to take Luo Yan out more.Although Luo Yan has been in the capital for almost three years, she is not as familiar with the capital as she, who has been here for less than half a year!
First, it was because King Jing was forced to hide in Guanyin Nunnery. Although there is nothing wrong now, the Yang family has confirmed their marriage after communicating several letters with Luo Bing. It is said that the proposer will leave after the first month In the capital, he was officially hired at that time.According to the rules in the south, Luo Yan will stay at home to embroider the dowry, and it is not good to go out again.In the first half year or so, Luo Yan will be married, how can she travel freely?
Luo Yan also knew about this, but she didn't complain at all.Although she also grew up in Liaodong, the things she was taught since she was a child are still different from Ning Wan. After returning to the south, she has changed even more. After all, she is the daughter of the Luo family in Jiangnan, and she has always been proud of it.

However, she was called out every day by Sister Ning. She was just over 16 years old, and she was still very happy. Dashilan, Liulichang... She had never been to these places, and she laughed all the way and chose a lot of things. , "This is for Uncle Ning and Aunt Ning, this is for Young Mistress Feng, this is for Huai Huaer..."

Ning Wan just laughed, "You bought half a car in just a while, I can't take it back."

Luo Yan said: "The ones for Huai Hua'er and Song'er will stay at my house first, and I will send them over when their siblings arrive in the capital." So she was still shopping around and buying with great interest, in fact, she finally came out It's so exciting to let it go.

As they were walking, Ning Wan saw two people, dressed almost the same, in white washed blue cloth robes, with wooden hairpins, gentle and elegant, just like poor people.Spring is just around the corner, and there are many scholars like this in the capital. Fathers, sons, uncles, nephews, brothers, or classmates come to Beijing to take the exam together. Wen Wan.

Right now, the two men were playing with a copper lion paperweight full of copper rust, whispering something to the stall owner, and then turned out their purses to collect money.Obviously, poor students took a fancy to this paperweight and were about to buy it with all their money.It's just that the stall owner was a little reluctant, and kept yelling about the lack of money, even Ning Wan and Luo Yan heard it.

Concubine Dongping looks quite decent in men's clothes, she is more like uncle or nephew or brothers when she is with King Dongping, and they look very similar when they pretend to be poor scholars. The two scholars were a little too neat and tidy.

Ning Wan slowed down, but she didn't intend to shout, let the mother and son have fun!

Luo Yan, who didn't want to be beside her, took a few steps forward, took out a piece of silver from her purse and threw it to the stall owner, then took the copper lion and handed it to King Dongping, "Thank you!"

The king of Dongping blushed, and Ai Ai said Qiqi: "No, you can keep it."

Luo Yan said: "I'm afraid this is a real thing, you go back and wipe off the outer skin and put it away carefully."

King Dongping accepted it, "Thank you then!"

Ning Wan stood aside and stared dumbfounded, but saw Princess Dongping blinking at her, so she could only watch her pull the King of Dongping County who was holding the bronze lion away, then turned her head and asked, "Yan'er, how do you recognize him? "

Luo Yan was wearing a mask, but Ning Wan could see that her face was a little red, she lowered her head and said, "Actually, I don't recognize it, it was the time when I ran away from King Jing, and I ran away because of his help." Going out, I didn’t want to meet here again by chance. I saw that he was a little embarrassed, so I bought the paperweight and gave him a thank you.”

"Is he dressed like this then?"

"At the beginning I was too flustered so I didn't pay much attention. It doesn't seem to be..." Luo Yan thought for a while and then realized, "His family must have encountered an accident and became poor!" Saying that, she hurriedly chased after him, took off her purse and stuffed it It was given to King Dongping.

Ning Wan struggled for a while but still didn't say anything, walked around for a while and said with a smile: "It's noon, let's go to the restaurant to eat."

"Are we two going to the restaurant?"

"Yes, let's go! I want a private room, which is separated from the lobby outside, and you can drink and eat as you like." Ning Wan is already familiar with the famous restaurants in the capital. Chu, "The most famous thing in Tongjuguan is Pao Mutton. Fresh mutton is cut into thin slices and placed on a griddle. It is cooked with chopped green onion, ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and marinated shrimp oil. There are three flavors. , fried meat, fried burnt, fried meat, fried meat is extremely tender, fried meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the paste is crispy, let’s try a plate of each.” In fact, the Pao Mutton in Tongjuguan is standing in front of the pan It tastes the best, Ning Wan and Tie Shi have eaten it like that.

Even though the Luo family's delicacies are quite famous, there is no such down-to-earth cannon mutton.Luo Yan smiled and said, "Going out with Sister Ning is really insightful! When I go home and tell my elder brother and sister-in-law, they must not know that this mutton can be cooked like this."

Ning Wan said, "It's better to eat this hot mutton with wine." She took out a piece of silver and sent the waiter to buy it outside. It turned out that Tongju Hall only sells soju.

"I just forgot," Ning Wan felt a little regretful, "When the wine is bought, the mutton will be cold." Just as she was talking, the wine was brought in, and Ning Wan laughed, "It turns out that Tongju Hall Add this wine to the wine, we still have some good taste." The two match, the taste is really better, and this wine is actually a good wine, soft and sweet in the mouth, just suitable for the two women to drink.

Out of the Tongju hall, Ning Wan saw Ding Baihu standing beside her carriage, she turned her mind, but said nothing, walked a few places with Luo Yan, sent her back to Mishi alley, and stopped in a secluded alley Get out of the car, opened the curtain and asked: "Did you bring the wine just now?"

"Seeing that Madam and Miss Luo entered the gathering hall, the officer remembered that when the Commander took us to eat cannon mutton, he specially bought wine to match, so he hurriedly prepared the wine and delivered it. Fortunately, Madam did not delay the meal .”

This Ding Baihu is really interesting!Ning Wan felt helpless, "What's the matter with you? Just tell me."

"The lower official occasionally learned something about Young Master Yang, so he rushed over to report to Madam."

"Master Yang?" Ning Wan understood, "Master Yang who wants to be engaged to Miss Luo?"

"It's the young master of the Yang family in Jiangnan, the most popular talent in Chungui."

For no reason, Ning Wan's heart sank, "What's the matter?"

"The young master of the Yang family is actually a broken sleeve. Although the Yang family has always kept it a secret, several big families in the south of the Yangtze River have heard some rumors, so his family decided to marry the Luo family."

Although I knew that Jin Yiwei was very good at inquiring news, Ning Wan still felt a little puzzled, "You are not mistaken, how did I hear that there are two girls in Young Master Yang's room, and I brought them with me when I came to Beijing this time?" come here?"

"Returning to Madam, I'm not mistaken. Young Master Yang has an outhouse in the capital, where he raised a young lady. I know where he lives and how much money he sends every month." Ding Baihu said very firmly: "And the two girls in Young Master Yang's room are actually decorations. They were released by the Yang family to avoid suspicion. They are still Huanghua girls."

The fire in Ning Wan's heart suddenly rose. When she learned that Young Master Yang had two maids by her side, she was very reluctant, but both Luo Bing and Mrs. Wei knew that children from aristocratic families would let them go before they got married. , as long as you don't give birth to a concubine, it doesn't matter, but now I know that these two people are actually used to cover people's eyes and ears!
The Yang family is really hateful!My son is so weird that he still wants to lie to someone else's good girl!As for Luo Yan, she has been by her side for several years!

Ning Wan took a few deep breaths, calmed down and said, "Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!" She also inquired about Young Master Yang's residence, the outer house, etc., and always asked Brother Luo to find out for himself.

Naturally, Ding Baihu knew everything, and came up with an idea: "Just sit in a donkey meat shop at the entrance of the alley, and you can see him coming and going."

Ning Wan remembered it, but seeing that Ding Baihu was still hesitating to leave, she immediately understood, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else I can do for Ding Baihu, just tell me." I tried to please myself, but I was rejected by myself. This time I especially inquired about the secrets of the Yang family. There must be a reason.

Sure enough, Ding Baihu said: "The lower official wants to ask his wife to help me to intercede in front of the Commander, and give the lower official a chance to stay in Jinyiwei."

Although Ding Baihu is a talented person, he is very capable of inquiring about information, and this time he helped Ning Wan a lot.However, the deficiencies of these parents he inquired about were actually of no great use to the court.So Tieshi planned to evacuate the Qianhu Office where Ding Baihu was located, so Ning Wan was really not very helpful.

Most of Ding Baihu's people know how to observe facial expressions, so they immediately said: "Ma'am, Xiaguan is originally from the capital, and his family has been working as accountants for several generations. It was not easy for Yinzi to enter Jinyiwei. Because of his ordinary appearance, he was not selected as a good job by the emperor's side. He was assigned to investigate various news about the middle-level officials' homes in the capital. His subordinates started as soldiers, and they have always been very diligent. It took a few credits to be promoted to a hundred households. Now if you are dismissed from Jinyiwei, not only will you lose face, but also the lower official does not know how to make a living, so you will inevitably have no money to support your family. Moreover, there are hundreds of people under the lower official, So are they!"

Ning Wan's heart softened when he said that.If Tieshi really fired Ding Baihu and others, what would they do?After thinking about it, he said: "I can't promise you casually about the affairs of the government office, but I will definitely help with your affairs. You wait for my news first."

In a few days, Luo Bing and Tie Shi blocked Young Master Yang in the outer house together.Tie Shi later told Ning Wan, "Brother Luo is really angry. If I hadn't pulled him, I'm afraid he would have killed Young Master Yang." Compared with the military households in Liaodong, Luo Bing is indeed weaker, but he is in the army after all In ten years, it is still quite impressive to fight an ordinary scholar.

Ning Wan understood Luo Bing's anger, brought up her younger sister little by little from her infancy, and finally grew up like a delicate flower, but was thrown into the pigsty like a weed, how can I describe the pain in my heart?However, she said: "Actually, it's a good thing to reveal the matter in time. It's better than finding out after getting married." With the Luo family's family style, Luo Yan might not be able to get married if she really became a relative. This is how life goes on.

"Brother Luo is afraid that he will almost marry Yan'er by mistake, and the other is that he is in trouble." Tie Shi stayed with Luo Bing for a night, but he understands his pain better. Can you dare to cheat marriage?"

Luo Bing is not willing to be an official by nature, but he still chooses to stay in the court and work hard. In fact, he wants to rebuild what the Luo family lost, but how difficult it is!Ning Wan couldn't help but said: "He's burdened too much." Then he told Tie Shi solemnly, "We don't have to do this, small families, just live a good life, don't need to talk so much about face."
