Chapter 251
"Do you know Kang Ning's poetry anthology? No, you are such a bumpkin! In the capital, who doesn't know Kang Ning's poetry anthology."

"Anthology of Corning's poetry?"

"It's an excerpt from Princess Corning's poem."

"Isn't Princess Kangning born in a peasant family? I don't know a single word, so I can only steal other people's poems?"

"Bah, that's someone maliciously spreading rumors. Take a look at this anthology of Kang Ning's poems and flip through them casually. Which one is not popular, and even the great Confucians of the day may not be able to write such good sentences."

The latter sentence is a bit exaggerated, but the sentence in Corning's anthology really aroused the admiration and emotion of many scholars.

Up to now, who would say that Princess Kangning is a country woman who doesn't understand anything?

Anping County Lord's Mansion.

The woman locked herself in the house.

"Princess, let's eat something." A girl persuaded outside the door.

"roll!"

There were vicious noises in the house.

The girl had no choice but to walk away.

The light in the house was dim.

A woman was buried under the quilt with a gloomy look on her face.

Can't this fix her?

She does not accept, she does not accept!
…………

"So, you stayed up late that night just to write this?"

In Ji Guogong's mansion, Tong Zhi'er looked at the anthology of Kang Ning's poems in his hand, and said to Ji helplessly.

Without making a sound, this man thought of a countermeasure for her, alas...

"It's just that this poem is not mine."

Tong Zhier looked at him.

When she was at home, when she was in high spirits, she would read a few lines of poems, and she was known by Ji Li for some reason.

Ji Li smiled, "Then who do you say belongs to?"

"...Anyway, it's not mine."

It's not her stuff, but now it's named after her, Tong Zhi'er feels very uncomfortable.

"Well, no, it's not. However, with such a good poem, it's better for everyone to appreciate it than you alone. It can be regarded as not burying these popular poems."

"Forehead………"

"There is also the silver I earned. I gave it to the beggars nearby. It can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people. What do you think?"

Tong Zhi'er looked at Ji Li in surprise, "When did you do this?"

Ji Li just smiled, picked her up and walked to the bed, "If you are grateful to me, give me a baby."

Tong Zhi'er blushed, but she didn't follow him.

"Don't be ashamed in broad daylight, go and practice martial arts, I have other things to do."

With that said, Tong Zhi'er pushed Ji Li out of the room.

The days passed quickly, and it was years ago in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the eldest lady called Tong Zhi'er over.

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

Tong Zhi'er walked into the hall and called out.

The eldest lady was reading the brochure, when she heard the voice, she raised her head, smiled at Tong Zhi'er, and said, "There were too many things a year ago, can you help me with the New Year's shopping?"

"Mother, it's not good to be a daughter-in-law. Seeing that mother is so busy, she didn't come here. Please forgive me."

After being surprised, Tong Zhi'er replied.

Is the eldest lady really going to let her be the housekeeper?
"Well, come on, take a look at this brochure, and the people below will also be ordered by you, mother will go first."

"Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law must do her best."

The eldest lady got up and left quickly with a nanny and two maids.

Only then did Tong Zhi'er look at the stewards standing in the corner.

"I have not been in the Duke's Mansion for a long time, so please tell me your name and what you were in charge of before."

"Yes, young lady."

"Mama Jin, the servant girl, is in charge of buying jewelry."

"Slave Lin, you only buy the ruler and cloth if you are responsible."

"The servant girl, Cui Niang, is responsible for the ingredients, rice and oil."

While listening, Tong Zhi'er quickly flipped through the brochure given to her by the eldest lady.

"Well, I see, let's do this for today, you go down and do your own things."

Several people exchanged a look, and then retreated without saying anything.

"Little Tao, Qiaoer, you two go out with me."

"Young lady, what are you going to do?"

Tong Zhi'er smiled slightly, but didn't speak.

.........

Nearly a year ago, Tongji Rouge Shop was extremely busy.

Tong Zhi'er entered through the back door.

"Boss, you are here."

Looking at the woman dressed as a woman, Wang Tan said excitedly.

Tong Zhi'er looked up and smiled at him, "Well, you managed the shop very well."

Wang Tan was very happy.

As the chief manager of Tongji Rouge Shop, there is nothing more gratifying than hearing the boss's praise.

After chatting for a while, Tong Zhi'er got to the point.

"Help me find out the prices of the goods sold in these shops."

Wang Tan took the tissue paper from Tong Zhier and agreed.

When Tong Zhi'er returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was almost dark.

After dinner, Tong Zhi'er waited for Ji Li to come over.

Maybe it's not coming during the day, but at night, Ji Li is particularly persistent.

Early the next morning, Tong Zhi'er got up from the bed, and Xiao Tao and Qiao'er were startled by two huge black eye circles.

Putting on a thick layer of powder to cover the dark circles under her eyes, Tong Zhi'er pushed the door and went out.

Before that, Wang Tan had asked the concierge to hand over the note to Xiaotao.

In the main hall, stood Mama Jin and others.

"I have seen the young lady."

"Well," Tong Zhi'er said with a smile, "This is the budget I made yesterday, and it says things to buy. Take it and do it."

Mother Jin looked at the banknotes that were significantly thinner than last year, frowned almost invisible, and said to Tong Zhi'er in embarrassment: "Young Madam, the budget you gave seems not enough..."

"Xiao Tao."

Xiao Tao stood up from behind Tong Zhi'er and handed over a piece of paper.

Mother Jin looked at what was written on the paper, her face turned red and white, and she changed the color back and forth to play.

The eldest lady has so many things to do every day, she doesn't have time to do these things.

The young lady has a heart.

Mother Jin didn't dare to say anything more, she said "yes".

Seeing this, the others had no objection.

In this way, the money for the New Year's goods and the things to be purchased are determined in this way.

However, there is one more thing.

Tong Zhier went to see the eldest lady.

"Mother, the daughter-in-law is not allowed to go through the New Year's New Year's ceremony, so I ask mother to take care of it."

The eldest lady stood up, "Well, I originally planned to look for you in two days. If you come today, we will prepare all the annual gifts today."

Tong Zhi'er walked over and supported the eldest lady's arm, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked outside.

This year's ceremony is the most exquisite.

One is not to fall into stereotypes.

The second is to follow the wishes of the host.

In this way, it is easy to move and communicate.

At the end of the day, Tong Zhi'er gained a lot of knowledge with the eldest lady.

"Zhi'er, you've lost weight!"

That night, Ji Li held Tong Zhi'er in his arms, and the bones in his hands made him frown.

Tong Zhi'er's eyes lit up, "Have you lost weight?"

Seeing her like this, Ji Li frowned even deeper.

"It's better to be fatter."

The most important thing is that it is easier to have a baby if you are fatter.

Tong Zhi'er didn't care about this, since the situation at home got better, she obviously felt that she was more than a circle fatter than before.

Whenever she sat down, looking at the circles of flesh in her belly and the big lump on her thigh, she felt very uncomfortable.I have also used some weight loss methods, running, eating less...

However, it has no effect.

Fang Cuiwei and the others looked at it but felt distressed.

Later, she simply broke the jar and smashed it, no longer caring about the fat on her body.

Who would have thought that at this time, she unexpectedly lost weight.

Tong Zhi'er got up excitedly, wanting to bring the mirror over.

When she got up, Ji Li grabbed her and put her chest in one mouthful.

.........

The New Year's atmosphere in Beijing is naturally a thousand times more lively than at home.

Before dawn, there was the sound of crackling firecrackers outside.

The air was quickly covered by a smell of gunpowder.

Although the Duke's Mansion has a simple population, it is also a big family.

Naturally, there is a helper for cooking.

Tong Zhi'er was waiting to be the master, so she waited in her own room.

When it was time to eat, he went to the hall of the main house.

A large round table was filled with hot meals.

Chicken, duck, fish, and bird's nest wing belly are dazzling.

The first person to go to the table is naturally the old lady, after the old lady is on the table, followed by Ji Chang, Ji Li, the eldest lady, the second lady, and finally Tong Zhi'er.

The eldest lady didn't ask Tong Zhi'er to set the rules, so Tong Zhi'er sat with them every time they ate.

The girl filled the wine glass, Ji Chang said a few auspicious words, and the family clinked glasses and began to eat.

Sitting opposite Tong Zhier was the second lady.

Even though she wore new clothes and jewelry today, the second lady was still unhappy.

Moreover, when Tong Zhi'er looked at her again, she just glanced at her and ignored it.

Tong Zhi'er can also understand her mood at the moment.

It is said that it is Chinese New Year, but the season is still stationed at the border. As a mother, she is naturally very worried.

Bala took two mouthfuls of food, the second lady put down the chopsticks and sighed.

"Why are you sighing for New Year's Eve?"

Ji Chang said with a frown.

The second lady seemed to be offended by this sentence, and immediately said: "My son is not here, can I think about him?"

Ji Chang frowned even deeper, "We all think about the season, not just you, hurry up and eat."

"Master misses him?"

The second lady said in a strange way.

Tong Zhi'er thought, something bad is going to happen.

Sure enough, Ji Chang also became angry, "What's your attitude?"

"Master, it's fine if you don't come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, why can't you come back once this Chinese New Year?"

"The emperor has his own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it."

"How can you say you're just worrying? This is our son!"

Seeing Ji Chang's complexion getting worse and worse, the lady smoothed things over and said: "The food is getting cold, so let's eat it first."

As soon as the eldest lady spoke, the second lady concentrated her firepower on her.

"Of course you have a good appetite, but it's not your son who is at the border!"

"What do you mean? Before Ah Jie went to the battlefield, when did Ah Li go through life and death with his father on the battlefield? He didn't come back for several years. I was no less worried than you at any time!"

The second lady kept her mouth shut and did not speak.

The atmosphere is a bit stiff...
