Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 58

Governments everywhere are in the same situation, and they will always be extremely busy during the holidays.

On New Year's Eve, Tong Wanrou wore a cloak and held a hand stove, and stood outside the door for a long time before Fu Heng's carriage came from a distance. Glancing at the servants behind her, Xiaocui Xiaodie hurriedly lowered her head in fright, and the porters also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Tong Wanrou didn't realize it, and trotted down the steps, Fu Heng rushed up to meet her and supported her: "Slow down, you can see your stomach, and you still run like this."

Tong Wanrou put the hand stove in Fu Heng's hands, and then completely freed her arms, wrapped around Fu Heng's arms, and pulled him into the mansion.

"You didn't send anyone back to pass the message today, so I knew you would definitely come back, and I can't wait to see you."

Hearing what she said, Fu Heng didn't mind at all that he was outside. He stretched out his hand and scratched her nose. He always felt that no matter how time changes, she will always be the pure and beautiful girl in his heart with a smile like a flower. No matter how many troubles, as long as I come back and see her, I feel that everything is worth it.

Ever since they got married, Fu Heng never limited himself to the occasion to be intimate with her, and Tong Wanrou was also shy from the beginning, but now he is used to it.

The two walked out into the yard arm in arm.

Tong Wanrou prepared the ancestor worship matters in the yard. According to Fu Heng's instructions, 36 melon and fruit snacks were placed on the table, and some other raw meat and fish for ancestor worship, incense burner and futon were all prepared.

All the people in the mansion were called together, and then a simple ancestor worship began.

Fu Heng took the lead, offered incense and kowtowed, and said farewell to the old year. After the end, Fu Heng personally helped Tong Wanrou kneel down and kowtow, and then helped her up. After inserting the incense in his hand into the incense burner, the servants began to order papers to ask the spirit to be good. .

When the two returned to the dining room, the maids filed in and brought all the dishes that Tong Wanrou had prepared in the afternoon to the table.

After looking at each other and smiling, Tong Wanrou poured a glass of wine for the two of them. After touching each other, she was about to drink, but Fu Heng snatched the wine glass and said, "You don't like drinking anything. I'll drink this for you, and you drink water." Just fine."

Seeing that Fu Heng drank up her cup completely, Tong Wanrou couldn't help pouting and said:
"Hey, this is the fruit wine I just brewed a while ago. It's not as good as the one from outside. Just drink a small cup, okay?"

Hanging on Fu Heng's arm and acting like a baby, Fu Heng always pretended not to see it, shaking his head and resolutely refused, Tong Wanrou couldn't persuade him, so he had to compromise, and lightly replaced the wine with water, Fu Heng would come to clink glasses with her from time to time, even shouting She was greedy, so she simply turned her grief and anger into appetite, facing the table full of dishes, and started killing all directions.

While eating, Tong Wanrou suddenly saw snow falling outside the open south window, she was excited, she left the dining table, walked outside the door, looked at it, then came back and waved to Fu Heng, saying:
"Sir, it's snowing outside, it's so beautiful."

Fu Heng went out to have a look. Under the silver moonlight, white snow was flying down like catkins, and the servants in the yard were still counting paper. It was very interesting to match the snow scene.

Seeing that Tong Wanrou refused to go back to eat, Fu Heng thought for a while, and asked someone to set up a fire platform in the pavilion on the east side of the courtyard, and imitated the way of eating folk hot pot, boiled a pot of bone soup, and then added vegetables to the soup. The sliced ​​meat, both hot and delicious.

Tong Wanrou had never eaten this kind of food before, so Fu Heng prepared it for her. After the vegetables and meat were blanched, they were dipped in a sauce, and then placed in the bowl in front of Tong Wanrou.

Tong Wanrou tried to eat a couple of mouthfuls, and found the taste to be very good, she followed Fu Heng's example and put the dishes into the pot to rinse.

Afraid that she would burn her mouth, Fu Heng asked someone to serve her goat's milk with honey, and asked her to eat it together.

Sitting in the picturesque gazebo, the two watched the snow fall in the sky. Although the cold air was strong, it couldn't resist the heat of the hot pot. The two phases were in harmony, and they gathered into an unforgettable beautiful scene of happiness.

Tong Wanrou smiled happily the whole time, she never knew that a person's happiness could be so specific.

After the new year, the Li family sent several letters, which generally meant that the eldest lady had been divorced by Li Rongbao, because the Guarjia family had been convicted of confiscating the nine clans. After rushing back to the mansion, he wrote a letter of divorce to the eldest lady, and asked her to go out to lead the death by herself, so that the Fucha family must not be implicated.

Her children must also sign a letter of refusal to sever all ties with her, otherwise they will be kicked out of Fucha Mansion together with her.

The eldest lady had three sons and one daughter, but no one was willing to go out with her to accept the crime, so the Guerjia family had to return to her natal family alone.

One month after the incident, Li Rongbao proposed to support Li as his wife, and his grandfather Li Zheng also spoke before the emperor. After careful consideration, the emperor probably considered that he could use this method to stabilize the status of some Han officials. Therefore, he agreed to Li Rongbao's request, and made his concubine Li's official wife.

The ceremony was on the fifth day of May. At that time, Tong Wanrou's stomach was almost eight months old. Fu Heng looked at her stomach and said:

"Why don't you go back, I don't feel at ease on the way with such a big belly."

But Tong Wanrou insisted: "How can I not come back? You don't come back, I don't come back, my sister is in the palace again, and there is no one around that mother, how deserted."

Fu Heng's eyes fell on her stomach, under Tong Wanrou's offensive, he had no choice but to compromise, sighed, and said:

"Then I'll take you back. You stay at home for about ten days, and I'll pick you up when I have time, okay?"

When Tong Wanrou heard that her husband sent her back in person, she unexpectedly showed a surprised expression. Fu Heng saw it, smiled helplessly, and pinched her cheek twice as compensation.

Tong Wanrou said again: "Since you have already gone back, why don't you stay at home for two more days, after the mother's ceremony is over, why don't we come back together?"

Fu Heng shook his head and said, "I can only stay at home for half a day at most. There are too many things to do here, and I can't rest."

Tong Wanrou sighed regretfully, and said, "That's fine."

Seeing that she was a bit disappointed, Fu Heng couldn't help but put her in his arms, and comforted her: "Don't be unhappy, as long as the affairs here are done, we might be able to return to the capital soon. These two years are a hurdle, and we can get through it." After that, I'm sure everything will be fine."

Tong Wanrou looked at her husband, and felt that this man had a convincing strength, as if as long as she followed him, she didn't have to worry about anything else, he could arrange everything well, and let the development of things be all under his control. In control.

At the beginning, Tong Wanrou would want to help him or worry about him, but later she realized that her thoughts and worries were completely unnecessary, and now, she simply doesn't think about it anymore, and just follow him without distraction.

In late April, Fu Heng took care of things in Shanxi first, and took Tong Wanrou back to the capital on the first day of May.

In order to avoid Tong Wanrou's uncomfortable bumps on the road, he had someone make a special carriage. The bed on the carriage was so soft that people would not want to get up when lying down. day successfully arrived.

An entourage had returned to the mansion to report, so Li Shi had sent someone to guard the door. When they saw their chariots and horses appearing at the intersection, the man hurried into the mansion and called Li Shi. Li Shi was wearing gorgeous clothes. , took a group of government people out to greet him, to show solemnity.

When Tong Wanrou was helped out of the carriage by Fu Heng, she was taken aback by the scene in front of her. This scene was much bigger than when they left the capital. After all, her mother-in-law was going to be the mistress. Li smiled and walked off in person. Shi Jie went to support Tong Wanrou, looking at her belly, he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.

Tong Wanrou wanted to wish Li Shi a blessing, but was stopped by both Li Shi and Fu Heng. Li said to Tong Wanrou:

"What kind of ceremony do you have with such a big belly? You are exhausted from the journey. Go to your room to rest. I tidied up your room two days ago."

Tong Wanrou knew that Mrs. Li was going to be the mistress, so it was absolutely impossible for them to live in the old courtyard. If Mrs. Li took care of them, it meant that they had indeed moved, but they had moved to the old lady's former home. The courtyard, or another small courtyard.

I followed Mrs. Li to the former Dongyuan, but the scenery inside changed greatly. Mrs. Li ordered people to tear down half of the former Dongyuan, and filled a pond to build the current main courtyard. Needless to say, it is magnificent, and the layout inside is also very exquisite.

Mrs. Li prepared a very sunny room for them. Once they entered, it was very bright. Tong Wanrou looked at the room in surprise, and found that the decoration of the room was still the same as before, but it seemed to be two circles bigger.

Before Fu Heng could sit down and have a sip of tea, his servants came over and passed him to the study room. Li Rongbao couldn't wait to discuss things with him.

Seeing the back of his son leaving in a hurry, Mrs. Li asked, "How long can you stay this time?"

Tong Wanrou knew that Mrs. Li also missed her son, so she naturally hoped that they would stay in the mansion for a few more days, but she had no choice but to tell her:

"Xianggong Shanxi can't leave. He may have to go back early tomorrow morning. He asked me to stay in the mansion for ten days. After ten days, he will come back to pick me up."

Although Mrs. Li was reluctant, she also knew that this was a helpless thing, so she nodded: "Oh, that's the only way to go. By the way, I stewed black-bone chicken for you in the pot early in the morning. It's just right to drink now. .”

Tong Wanrou smiled at her: "Thank you mother, I happen to be a little hungry, mother is really the most considerate mother in the world."

Mrs. Li was amused by her sweet mouth, she gave Tong Wanrou a look with a smile, and said, "You are the only one with a sweet mouth."

Although she said so, it can be seen that Li Shi is very happy when Tong Wanrou comes back. In addition, Tong Wanrou now has a baby grandson in her stomach. When Li Shi looks at her, she always feels that she can't get enough of it. Sincerely I really think that this daughter-in-law married the right one.

Ever since marrying her, Heng'er's official career has been smoothed out, and Minglan's concubine's career has also been smoothed out. Even her concubine, who has been a concubine for 20 years, has been straightened out. People hurt to the heart.

Thinking of this, Li became even more determined to treat her daughter-in-law even better in the future. Such a girl deserves to be treated well by others, no matter how good she is.
