Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 346 Growing Up
Ning Wan would not let Tie Shi make trouble again, she wrapped the quilt around her body, "You don't have to get up quickly, you won't be able to catch up with the morning court!"

"I've already explained everything yesterday, so I don't need to enter the palace today." Lu Tieshi said, he lifted the quilt and got in, "Today I'm only with my wife and children."

Sophora Hua'er and Song'er were actually tired too. They slept until dawn, and the family only had breakfast after working three poles a day.At this time, I can only talk about the situation on both sides of these days.

The Ning family in Liaodong is still the same as in the past. They are steadily doing the mountain goods business, and their lives are very nourishing; the commander of Anpingwei Lixu has been promoted to the command envoy. He is also a seasoned veteran, but he can hold his own. , learned that Mrs. Lu was back, and specially asked the family members to visit; Hutai County is more prosperous than before, and businessmen from various countries have come to do business. Ding Baihu came to the county with books Someone here wanted to take it. If he was just asking for money, he would have made a profit if he sold it back to the capital.

And so on, Ning Wan saw that the smile on Tie Shi's face never faded, so she only picked the good ones to say, Lu Tieyuan refused to practice martial arts, but went around talking bad things about her second brother stopping him from attacking his job; Qing and Liu Wulang's shop was closed, and they came to ask themselves for help, but they were rejected by themselves and so on.

The changes in the capital are even greater. Chunwei's list was released a few days ago. God is not so discerning. The young master of the Yang family actually won the prize!Ning Wan said bitterly: "Such a person has won the Jinshi, and I don't know how many people will be harmed in the future!"

"He is a matter of broken sleeves. Brother Luo and I still managed to pass it on for him. There are many others who are on the list and want to catch their sons-in-law. Only him, decent people are not willing to marry their daughters. But he is after all. He is a child of the Yang family in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has his own connections. Although his reputation is not very good, his official career is still going well, and we have not pursued him any longer." Lu Tieshi laughed again: "The relationship between the king of Dongping County and Luo Yan The marriage has been settled, and we are waiting for you to come back as a matchmaker."

"This relative is really married!" Ning Wan asked with a smile: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

"Brother Luo came home that day. The king of Dongping County held a golden lion paperweight in one hand and Yan'er's purse in the other to propose marriage. Brother Luo asked him to write an article on the spot with a question, and then he nodded."

For an article that could make Big Brother Luo nod, Ning Wan said, "It turns out that the King of Dongping County is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs!"

"Brother Luo said that if the king of Dongping County takes the imperial examination, it is no problem to pass the imperial examination, and it is also possible to be a Jinshi."

"Since Big Brother Luo nodded, why wait for me to come back to be a matchmaker? Wouldn't it be better to invite the official matchmaker directly? Or just ask the empress to give her a marriage, which is both decent and honorable."

At this time, Tie Shi was carrying his daughter on his shoulders, and his son on the other. He was listening to his children's instructions and walked around on the ground. It’s good to say that you have to follow the ancient etiquette; Dongping County King and Yan’er both want you to be a matchmaker, and now Yan’er has personally made matchmaker shoes for you.”

Ning Wan was very happy, "Actually, I didn't try my best to make them work at first. I don't want to change the predestined fate!" So she smiled and said, "I have ready-made matchmaker shoes, so I am naturally willing."

"I heard that the king of Dongping County gave Yan'er a handful of pearls to make shoes for her."

The most luxurious shoes are nothing more than inlaid with a few beads, so Ning Wan exclaimed, "What kind of shoes can be made with a handful of pearls? I'm not willing to wear them!"

Sure enough, the marriage between the county prince's mansion and the Luo family was so extravagant and complicated that Ning Wan could not have imagined it. Although most of the affairs were taken care of by the head of the palace, she only assisted but was too busy, but looking at this pair of golden boys The jade girl had a marriage in the autumn, and the couple was married, and her heart was really happy.Of course, she also received a lot of thank-you gifts. The silks, satins and gems in Dongping Palace were all given to Aizi by the late emperor, and even the ones in the palace now may not be able to catch up with them; Dazzling her eyes, the shoes are full of pearls, and beads of different sizes and colors are used to spell out various patterns, and she is reluctant to walk on the ground after wearing them.

In a blink of an eye, they lived in the capital for five or six years, and Ning Wan gave Tie Shi another son, named Lu Bo, and the family of five completely integrated into the capital without knowing it.Needless to say Songer and Baier are the two younger ones, even Sophora who came to Beijing at the age of six is ​​also fluent in Beijing movies, and has been in the palace since she was a child, and has seen wealth and honor, her style is different from that of her parents when they were young.

However, Tie Shi and Ning Wan treat their children, and they are not rigid in other respects, only study and martial arts never relax.Reading is for enlightenment, practicing martial arts is because after all, you are a child of a military family, and you must not forget the fundamentals.

Until the early winter of this year, the death of the emperor broke the peace of the court for many years.

Tie Shi was promoted from Liaodong to his side by the first emperor, and he rescued him with extraordinary affection. He has served as the commander of Jin Yiwei to protect the palace for so many years, and he can definitely be called a confidant.Therefore, he was very sad about the death of the old emperor, and even Ning Wan sincerely cried a few times during the funeral.

At the same time, the 42-year-old King Duan finally ascended to the great throne. As the first emperor, his posthumous title was Xinyi Ruisheng Emperor, his mother was honored as Empress Dowager Xiaoci, his birth mother Concubine Shu was named Empress Dowager of Filial Piety, and the 12-year-old prince was conferred the title of Crown Prince. The youngest brother, Prince Gong, moved out of the palace and opened the Palace of Prince Gong.

After one hundred days of national filial piety, it happened to be the turn of the year. The reign name was changed in the middle of the court, and two elders of the court successively became officials. The six ministries also replaced several people from the former East Palace Zhan Shifu. The old emperor stayed behind. The traces gradually faded away.

Ning Wan then discussed with Tie Shi, "As the saying goes, the emperor and the courtiers belong to each other. Although our relationship with King Duan has always been good, we are still a step behind the previous emperor. Now that the ministers in the court have changed a lot, why don't we also act together?" Going back to Liaodong to work?"

"When the late emperor was here, I mentioned that I wanted to go back to Liaodong, but I was dismissed," Tie Shi said, "The emperor's foundation is not yet stable, so I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for me to mention it now, so I'd better wait. "

"Then wait a moment," Ning Wan said, "I always feel that the emperor is too impatient. The people in Zhan Shifu in the East Palace are his old ministers, but aren't the ministers in the court also the royal courtiers? Now as long as they are In the past, all the people in the Eastern Palace were promoted, and the old officials were all put aside, which will inevitably hurt many people's hearts."

"What I'm more worried about is that Xiao Qingmu has assumed the post of Shenshu Battalion."

When mentioning this matter, Ning Wan also sighed: "No wonder everyone said in the past that Prince Duan was not smart enough to let Xiao Qingmu be the commander of the Shenshu camp. No matter which minister objected, he insisted that there were several barbarians who did it. But it’s different from Gaozu’s time now!” It turns out that Shenshuying was originally formed by the barbarians who Gaozu took over and surrendered. Zhuang Zengbu, although there are still descendants of the descendants of the barbarians, they are no longer the barbarians who left the grassland angrily because of tribal blood feuds.And Xiao Qingmu's own father is in the north, maybe he is still eyeing the Central Plains.

Tie Shi said: "It's also a coincidence. When King Jing was plotting rebellion, King Duan was shocked and rescued by Xiao Qingmu, so he always believed in Xiao Qingmu's loyalty, and no one could persuade him."

"Little Aoki is really cunning, he will definitely have a purpose in befriending the prince deliberately."

"And these years, Qingmu's tribe has become more and more prosperous, and the previous royal family has completely become a puppet in his hands."

"Ding Qianhu came back from the north a few days ago and said that Aoki has always advertised his submission to our court, and recently sent his subjects to pay tribute." Ning Wan said sarcastically: "The emperor was very happy when he heard it, and he rewarded me again and again. This father and son are the best in the world, maybe one day they will be tricked into the grassland."

The husband and wife were talking, Huai Huaer came in with two younger brothers, and asked with a smile: "Mother said who is going to the grassland?"

Ning Wan covered her mouth a long time ago, "It's just useless gossip." Then she laughed and said, "You guys are over now, and it's time for someone to set up a meal."

Everyone sat down to eat, the rules of the Lu family were not very strict, and they couldn't help the children to talk at the dinner table, Huai Hua'er said: "It's Bing'er's birthday in a few days, Mu Duo'er invited us to play for a day." The child We go to school together, we can meet every day, and it is convenient to send a message if there is anything to do.

Bing'er is Luo Bing's bastard, Ning Wan nodded, "Then go ahead, you each prepare some gifts and send them." A child's birthday is not a big deal, and Luo Bing is only a bastard after all, so she also It's just a gift of one hundred bundles of silver noodles.

Lu Song said: "Mother, our family has too few children, so it's not as lively as Uncle Luo's. Why don't you buy a concubine and give us more brothers?"

Sophora rapped on the younger brother's head, "With you and Bai'er in our family, there is already a lot of quarrels every day, and I don't want to have more!"

Song'er said: "Sister, you hit me again, but Mu Duo'er never hits my younger brothers, and even takes special care of them."

"Then you can recognize Mu Duoer as your sister."

"But she is obviously younger than me!"

"So, you still have to be my younger brother!"

Tie Shi interrupted them with a smile, "Eat well, your mother is going to give birth to a younger brother or younger sister for you!"

Ruburt said, "I want a sister!"

Lu Song hurriedly said with disgust: "When you were not born, I said that I wanted a little sister like Mu Duoer, but my mother
gave birth to you! "

Ning Wan laughed, "If you keep arguing like this, my little sister won't come to our house, so I have to give birth to another little brother!"

Lu Song and Lu Bo kept silent, fearing that they would scare the little sister away, so they quickly lowered their heads to eat.

Huai Hua'er carried vegetables for her two younger brothers, "Eat more meat to grow taller." Seeing that they had finished eating, she said, "Go get the chess board and set it up. I'll wait for Dad to play chess with you."

Tie Shi was about to finish eating, he got up and said with a smile: "Look, how capable the pagoda tree in our family is! When you were just born, your grandma said that your mother is blessed, and now it is really good, and can take care of your mother. Half of the house." He listened to his daughter and took his two sons to play chess.

Here, Huai Huaer sat at the table with her mother to make clothes for the unborn baby, but asked quietly: "Mother, why do you think the Luo family bought a concubine to have a child?"

When Luo Bing and Mrs. Wei got married, they were not too young, and the pressure on their heirs was indeed greater than others.After Mrs. Wei gave birth to Mu Duo'er, she hurriedly became pregnant again with Luo Can, but after giving birth to two in succession, her health was injured and she couldn't bear any more.So she decided to buy two concubines for Luo Bing to receive in the house, and gave birth to several children one after another, all of them were raised in the main house, as if they had been born.

For a family like the Luo family that was almost wiped out, what they need most is the prosperity of their heirs. Mrs. Wei's actions have always been called virtuous and virtuous, and even Ning Wan can't say that she did something wrong.But if it was me, I wouldn't do it anyway.Although Mrs. Wei once said to herself that Brother Luo is not a womanizer at all, but he only took concubines for the sake of the Luo family, and there is a concubine room in the family. Compared with them, the difference between the main wife and husband The love is deeper.

Now that her daughter's question is on her head, Ning Wan can't help but not answer. After all, she has grown up, and she can't be coaxed like Song'er and Bai'er. "Everyone says that more children are more blessed. The power will become stronger. Don’t you think that all the famous big families are like this? However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and some big families fight more fiercely. It’s like brothers beat their enemies for the family property. Therefore, How to do the best is entirely in everyone's mind."

"Mother, don't worry, even if you have another younger brother, our family will not fight over the family property, after all, they are all born by a mother!"

Ning Wan pondered, "It seems that this child has grown up."
