Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1111

Capital, Cao Mansion, Orchid Courtyard, Shangfang.

Mrs. Li was wearing homely clothes, sitting on the edge of the kang, holding a gift list in her hand, and said in surprise: "So many?"

Niuniu and Tianhui were sitting on two small stools beside the Kang.

Niu Niu is wearing a silver-red flag dress, with slender eyebrows, a smile on her mouth, a bit watery, a bit playful, she already looks like a big girl; Tianhui is slightly smaller, wearing a lotus color flag dress, lilac-colored Bi Jia is much quieter than children of the same age.

The gift list was sorted out by Niu Niu and Tianhui. Seeing Mrs. Li asking, Niu Niu smiled and replied: "No, the number of people giving gifts has increased by [-]% compared to previous years. Not to mention the new people who gave gifts, but the government There are old ones here, except for a few close relatives, the birthday presents of other families are also much more expensive."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li put down the gift list, and said: "Human relationship is the most complicated thing, you can't neglect it, otherwise it will be easy to make people laugh. Make a copy of the list of these new brides and give it to your brother and sister-in-law Send it and ask them if they have any orders."

Niu Niu stood up and agreed, Li Shi gave her a loving look, and said in her heart: "Shu Ping is so capable, I don't know how lucky that kid is?"

Cao Yong and his wife have been out of Beijing for more than half a month, and Niu Niu took Tianhui to take care of the housework in the mansion.

In the past two years, everyone mentioned Niuniu's marriage not once or twice.

Since Niuniu was raised by her son and daughter-in-law, it was difficult for Mrs. Li to say anything.Originally, she was very optimistic about Wenjie from the Wei family, but then she didn't know why.

Being stared at, Niuniu didn't know what to do, she touched her face and said, "Old lady, is there something wrong with my niece?"

Mrs. Li shook her head with a smile, and said: "No, I was thinking of your second sister-in-law. After all these years of hard work, there is finally some movement. I hope she will give birth to a big fat boy this time."

Jinghui is gentle and approachable, and both Niuniu and Tianhui are very close to her.

After hearing this, Niuniu and Tianhui were both eager to try.

"Grandmother, granddaughter and aunt haven't congratulated Second Aunt yet. It just so happens that I haven't seen Fourth Aunt for a while, so let us go around Dongfu tomorrow." Tianhui said.

Mrs. Li thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, it just so happens that the 'Songzi Guanyin' I asked someone to send here today, let's go for a stroll together tomorrow morning."

After a night of silence, after breakfast the next day, Mrs. Li sent someone to report to the East Mansion, and then went to the East Mansion with Niuniu and Tianhui.

Because the houses in the two mansions were separated by corner gates, Mrs. Li was impatient to be a pack sedan chair, so she led the people there on foot.

The snow on the Qingshiban road has already been cleared away, so Niuniu and Tianhui are still worried about the slippery road and falling to Mrs. Li, one left and one right, carefully supporting her.

Li Shi laughed, and said: "Look at you two aunts and nephews, be careful too."

While joking, the group had already arrived at Dongfu.

Jinghui, Chunhua, Suxin's sister-in-law, followed by a few maidservants, more than a dozen hula lala, stood at the corner door to greet each other.When they saw Mrs. Li, they all knelt down to salute.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly stepped forward, supported Jinghui and said: "You are heavy, don't be like this." Then he said to Chunhua and Suxin angrily: "Didn't I say, don't disturb your sister-in-law?" ?”

Chunhua and Suxin couldn't argue with each other, Jinghui took Li's arm and said, "I know my aunt loves me, but it's just these few steps, how can I tire my niece and daughter-in-law again?"

In the early years, after Jinghui gave birth to her second daughter, she had some irregular menstrual periods.

In the past two years since Cao Song came back, it has been better than before, and there are times when menstruation is delayed.Last year, Cao Song thought she was pregnant because of her menstrual delay, and everyone was so happy.

This time she was pregnant, Jinghui was a little uncertain, and she didn't invite the imperial doctor until it was almost three months, and she had a strong reaction to morning sickness.Fortunately, this time it is true.

Li's gaze moved her belly to her face, shook her head and said: "Anyway, it's better to be more careful."

Jinghui agreed with a smile, and met Niuniu and Tianhui again, and everyone surrounded Mrs. Li to Mrs. Zhaojia's room.

The eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, and Mrs. Zhao Jia also rejoiced. Looking at the "Songzi Guanyin" invited by Mrs. Li, she cheerfully thanked her.

Mrs. Li was afraid that Jinghui would be troubled, and she was also worried that Mrs. Zhaojia's speech would hurt Suxin by saying something, so she sent them juniors to talk by themselves.

"I just hope to have a fat grandson, and I can close my eyes." Zhao Jia said.

Mrs. Li gave her a white look, and said: "Don't mention one, Brother Song and the others are still young, and I'm afraid that you, a grandmother, will find it noisy if you add a whole room of boys in the future!"

"Auspicious words from my sister-in-law." Zhao Jia said with a smile.

The two sisters-in-law were talking, when they heard footsteps outside, and then Cao Song's voice: "The old lady is here?"

Then, someone whispered back.

At this moment, Cao Song has already picked up the curtain and came in, dressed in guards, with a cold air, and greeted Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao Jia.

Seeing this, Zhao Jia was taken aback, and said, "Didn't you come back at noon? Why did you go home so early?"

Cao Song's face was full of joy, and he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He said with a smile: "Mother, the emperor summoned his son just now... and ordered him to be the commander-in-chief of Jiangning!"

"General soldier, Jiangning general soldier?" Zhao Jia's eyes widened: "That's the second grade, isn't this a lie?"

Cao Song said with a smile: "Where is there any fake work? The guard's office has already handed over work, so I sent it to the official department to complete the formalities. When I come back, I will take the money, so I have to take care of one or two."

Mrs. Zhao Jia was already crying with joy, she pulled Mrs. Li's sleeves and said, "I can't complain that I have been dreaming about Jiangning for the past two months. This is my master's dream for me..."

"This is a good thing, double happiness." Mrs. Li was also happy for Cao Song.

Although guards are free, they can't work for a lifetime.Dongfu Cao Xiang has a bright future, Cao Song, the elder brother, cannot fall behind his younger brother.

Cao Song was still in a hurry to go to the guard's office, so he went to Dongkuayuan, greeted his wife, but went to the front yard to pay some money on the account, and hurried out.

When it was time for dinner, the two Cao Xiang brothers came back and congratulated their elder brother on his promotion.

Only in Jinghui's heart, it can't be said that it is joy or worry.

It is a long way from the capital to Jiangning, and there is no waterway now. She is pregnant, so she can't follow her for a while.

Two concubines, Yulong's appearance is half ruined, and Zilan has never been favored by her husband.

In a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, the husband is in the prime of his life, and this time he is in a high position and authority, and there is always someone to wait on him.I don't want it in my heart, so I can only arrange people around my husband virtuously...

Compared with the double happiness of the Cao family, the Sun family can be described as clouded.

Sun Wencheng stared at An Shi with a livid face, and said, "What's going on? What did you say when you went to Dong's house yesterday? Why did the granddaughter of a direct relative change from a concubine to a grandson?"

Thinking of Dong Dianbang's lukewarm words during the day, Sun Wencheng felt his temples throbbing.

An's eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look at her husband, and muttered: "It's just that the elders and children are in order, why does the nephew talk about being married if the uncle doesn't marry a wife?"

Sun Wencheng suppressed his anger and asked, "Just because of this, you are obviously the daughter-in-law of the grandson, so you are considered the daughter-in-law of the grandson?"

An's eyes were red, and he said: "Ban'er looks like he is twenty, and he doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet. The master has many sons, so I don't feel sorry for him. I, a mother, can't feel sorry for him?"

Sun Wencheng only felt that his eyes were going black for a while, and that he was married to the Dong family, and he was originally a high-ranking member of the Sun family.

It was the grandson's uplifting that made the Dong family look at him differently.Unexpectedly, it seemed that a decision was about to be made, and such absurd things would happen.

The grandson is a new Jinshi, and he entered the Hanlin Academy again, so he is a good match for the granddaughter of the Dong family's direct relatives; his grandson can't study well, and he didn't pass the imperial examination. If he is idle at home, how can he be in the eyes of the Dong family?

Dong Dianbang didn't turn his back on him, he just replaced his granddaughter with a concubine's granddaughter, already to save face for the Sun family.

I heard An's saying: "Ban'er is a son-in-law, so you can't marry a daughter-in-law from a concubine! The Dong family will not be happy if they don't like it, and then find someone for Ban'er..." Before he finished speaking, Sun Wencheng yelled at him .

Looking at the ignorant and foolish woman in front of him, Sun Wencheng was only sad, and he didn't even have the energy to scold her.

So far, how else can it be?
If he changed his mind again, let alone being married to the Dong family, he might become enemies with the Dong family.

Sun Wencheng got up, turned and went out without even looking at his wife.

Mrs. An wanted to call someone, but she didn't have the guts until her husband went out, so she called the accompanying room, Mrs. He, and said: "The Dong family is also a bully, if you don't want to give your granddaughter to Ban'er, just put it bluntly. I want to give my concubine's granddaughter to Ban'er in a shameless manner..."

Mrs. He listened, but didn't dare to say anything, feeling bitter in her heart.

The wife is too confused about this matter. If it weren't for the friendship between Dong and Sun's family for several lifetimes, I'm afraid they would have turned their faces.

She knew that his wife didn't want to see grandma recently, but she didn't expect that his wife would do such a thing and want to rob granddaughter-in-law as daughter-in-law.

Grandma's temperament is usually submissive and submissive, but that is when children are not involved; whenever a pair of children are involved, she is a tigress protecting her cubs.

Just like a few days ago, the uncle hurt the young master.

The young master wanted to hide it, but there was no movement in the mansion for several days, and then he fainted outside and was sent back by the fourth uncle of the Cao family.

Grandma inquired carefully and found out that it was the uncle who did it. She took out the special production documents from that year and asked the old man to take the children out.

The master loves his grandson and granddaughter, how can he agree?

In the end, the uncle was sent to the Zhuangzi outside the city, together with two mischievous concubines from the big house, it seemed that the meaning was to let the uncle live outside.

It is for this reason that the wife blames her grandson for obstructing her marriage.

But she only wanted to have fun, and forgot that because the uncle and the fifth master were not up to date, the master was also blaming her...

Sun Wencheng stood in the yard with his hands behind his back for a long time, then walked to the eldest grandson's yard.

The light in the study was on, and when Sun Wencheng entered, he saw Sun Li flipping through the notes with his left hand, looking engrossed.

"Grandfather..." Sun Li raised his head when he heard the movement, and when he saw his grandfather approaching, he hurriedly stood up.

Due to a broken arm, Cao Xiang asked him to take a one-month leave at the Hanlin Academy. He was afraid that he would miss his homework, so he asked his uncle for help, and borrowed a copy of the lecture notes of previous years.

Sun Wencheng's eyes fell on his grandson's hanging right arm, he sighed in his heart, and said, "Go and tell your mother that before you marry a wife, she will take care of the house... Your wife is not in good health and needs to rest... "

Before the end of the month, Cao Yong got the matter of his cousin sending out the general army.Not surprisingly, there is also news that Li Weisheng was promoted to governor of Zhejiang...
