take a wife to support the family

Chapter 295

From February 22nd to 24th, Song Haonian held a banquet at home and invited relatives and friends to the banquet.

Everyone knew that he was going to the capital to visit relatives, and they didn't know if he would come back after this trip. They were very reluctant and came one after another with gifts.

Liu Yi and other brothers directly exchanged money with Song Haonian: "A poor family is rich. I heard that the capital is rich and noble. If you don't get the money for a while, you can still support it for a few days."

Song Haonian said: "Brothers' wishes, I will accept them with my heart. How can such a family with a big business be less than me?"

Song Dagui disapproved and said: "You are young, you don't know the background of that big family. There are those who are narrow-minded, and they don't wait for you to offend him. He will be the first one to dislike you, as long as he spends a little on food and clothing. Ka, you are in so much trouble! If you encounter such a situation, you can just ask the servants for money, so as not to feel wronged."

Speaking of his son, Song Haonian accepted a heavy bag of money and had wine with his brothers.

Lily is also accompanying the guests there, this time there are a lot of people to be invited, it is fine for her to arrange these drinks, snacks and dishes, but it is too tiring, Xue Niang has invited a chef from the county, and she does not need Lily for everything Don't worry, she just takes care of her and jokes with her sisters-in-law.

The relationship between women is always more delicate, Li Caifeng was reluctant to part with Lily: "I said you can live a good life, and now it has come true, but you go to that place where you can't wait to see people, how many times can you see each other in the future?"

Xing'er wished to follow Lily right away, tugging at her sleeves, and Lily patted Xing'er on the head: "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, I will come again, you have to do the homework I assigned to you, and I will check on you , If you don’t do well, I will punish you, if you do well, I will bring you something good from the capital.”

After all, Xing'er was young, coaxed by Lily's few words, she said with high spirits: "I will definitely do it well!"

Other adults are not so easy to coax, Mrs. Sheng, Da Guisao, Song Ermei, Jin Dasao, Tao Caixia and others give Lily advice one by one, teach her how to please her parents-in-law who has never met, how to Hold Song Haonian in the palm of your hand so as not to change your mind.

Tao Caixia suddenly asked: "Yingchun and Lamei, why don't they see anyone?"

Lily smiled and said, "Those two are having a fight with me, they are helping in the kitchen, and they refuse to come out."

Tao Caixia went to the kitchen to bring Yingchun and Lamei, especially Lamei was pregnant, but she didn't dare to be bumped.The eldest sister and her brother-in-law went to visit relatives in the capital, which was naturally a happy thing. Yingchun and Lamei would not hold back Lily, but when they thought about how many days they would not see each other, they were both unhappy.

Lily said the same thing to them: "I'll be back in a few months, why are you sad?"

Yingchun didn't speak, Lamei walked to the door of the main room and asked Qingsong to come out, and told him: "Be smart on your way, don't let others bully our elder sister!"

Qingsong agreed loudly: "Are you still worried about my work?"

"It's you who are doing things that we don't trust..." Yingchun whispered.Qingsong is the younger brother in the family, and his older sisters have always taken care of him. He has always had a childish temper, so he doesn't know if he can protect Lily this time.

The words of the exhortation were repeated again and again, and everyone was very sad. Lily took out a lot of gifts to distribute to everyone. Usually, she matched the materials and medicinal materials that Chen Bin sent by truckloads.All the chickens and ducks raised at home are entrusted to Mrs. Jin.

Aunt Sheng said: "Although you don't lack this, save some, don't bother to give it to us, even if you take it to Beijing to honor his parents in the new year, it would be good."

Most of the people know that Song Haonian's biological parents are nobles in the capital, but few people know that they are from the Ming clan. The husband and wife keep a low profile and don't want to publicize it, so Aunt Sheng is still an ordinary high official.

Lily said: "These things are very heavy, and I'm afraid Jin Yiwei won't agree to take them all the way to the capital. Another thing, I heard that the family is very rich, so we take these things, I'm afraid they won't like it , it’s better to share it with everyone, it’s also a thought.”

Li Caifeng said: "It's a bargain for us. After you go to the capital, you can't be so generous. You have to give a lot if you give something."

Lily smiled and agreed: "I know."

After saying goodbye again and again, Song Haonian and his wife sent everyone away, they were both exhausted, they washed up hastily and then lay down to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the future of the two of them is uncertain, and they are both very nervous and excited. How can they sleep in a while?I had to hug one place and talk in a low voice, and fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

Early the next morning, the husband and wife woke up yawning. Seeing the dark circles under each other's eyes, they couldn't help laughing: they had never been to the capital, so they had no idea.

Chen Bin and Xue Niang had brought people to wait outside the door, Lily went to the kitchen to bake omelets, Song Haonian went out and called everyone to eat something, seeing dozens of people in the dark, he couldn't help being surprised: "Why are there so many people!"

Chen Bin said: "There are more people, it will be safer on the road. They have all had breakfast, but Xueniang and I haven't eaten yet. Before we go to Beijing, I will have another meal from your family."

Song Haonian quickly let them in, and Chen Bin turned around and asked someone to load the luggage into the car, so as not to delay later.

For a while, the multi-grain porridge cooked to bloom was served, and the golden omelette was served with a few side dishes. Eat it while it is hot, and the empty one is filled alone, solid and warm.

The stomach is not empty, so as not to be uncomfortable on the road, and the spirit is also good, the husband and wife embrace each other, and go out with Chen Bin.

Song Haonian locked the door and handed the key to Yingchun: "When we are not at home, you will take care of our house and come to clean it once a month. If you want to come back, you can live here as you please."

Yingchun nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will take care of my family." Then she said to Lily: "Eldest sister, you must be careful on the road."

In a blink of an eye, he saw Qingsong writhing on the horse, glared at him and said: "Don't just play around, take care of the elder sister and nephew!"

Several people bid farewell again, seeing the sun rising, they boarded the carriage and swayed to the capital.

A group of five carriages were all prepared by Chen Bin. Song Haonian's family of three rode in a spacious and stable cart, Xueniang and Chen Bin rode in one, and the other several carts were loaded with luggage or gifts, and they were pressed on the mud floor. Out of deep ruts.

Dozens of Jin Yiwei rode around the carriage, looking majestic and majestic. Everyone walked away, for fear of accidentally bumping into the nobleman.

Ruozhen was asleep in his father's arms, so Lily had time to look at the carriage. This carriage was built very solidly, and the road was well repaired, so it didn't shake very much.

There are thick cushions in the car, and it is not a problem to take a nap on it during the day.Xueniang got into the car and showed Lily the mechanisms in the car one by one: "There are teapots and teacups in this small table, and the grooves on the table follow the cups, and the cups will not be broken even while running."

"There is a small space under the seat cushion, where brocade mattresses and handkerchiefs are placed, and the young master's change of clothes is also inside." Xue Niang paused, "If you are in danger, don't run out in a panic, there are steel plates in the body, but It is safer to defend against bows and crossbows than outside."

She opened and closed the car window as she said, "Close the car window, ordinary swords can't do anything with this car."

Lily said anxiously: "Isn't it about looking for relatives, why are you still making such a fuss?" Hearing this, he felt strangely dangerous.

Xue Niang said: "Don't think too much, just be prepared, after all, Master Song has a special status, we dare not be careless."

Song Haonian suddenly said: "I don't know anything about the situation at home, if you are free, please tell us."

Xue Niang was taken aback: "I dare not say that nonsense, Lord Song, wait a moment, I will ask your lord."

Xueniang is very skilled, she doesn't need the driver to stop, she jumps directly on the shaft of the car, gets on the horse and finds Chen Bin, and conveys what Song Haonian said.

Chen Bin pondered and said: "At this point, we should tell them about it, lest Jingli be caught off guard, which would be unsightly."

Xue Niang nodded and said: "That's the truth. My lord, I dare not talk nonsense about the Tian family's affairs, you can talk to Master Song."

Chen Bin glared at Xue Niang. After all, this was his concubine and a capable subordinate, so he couldn't bear to blame her too much.He was living in the small house in Naping County, Taiping County. He gave some money to resettle on the spot, but he didn't plan to take it to the capital.

After a while, Ruzhen woke up and didn't see the familiar roof when he opened his eyes. He immediately became excited, babbling and laughing, kicking his two lotus legs, and Lily couldn't hold him.

Song Haonian pissed on Ruzhen, the boy felt hungry, he moaned and started looking for lilies, and then he calmed down.Lily took him over, unbuttoned his clothes and nursed, Song Haonian looked away with a guilty conscience: there were so many people on the road, husbands and wives were not allowed to be intimate, it was very difficult to see the taste of not being able to eat.

That day, I stayed at Sansanlipu in the north of the county seat. Lily walked as far as Taiping County. She never came to Sansanlipu. She opened the curtain of the car and looked out. She said to Song Haonian, "This place looks similar to our town. Almost the same, only less willows."

Song Haonian said: "This is still in our Taiping County. When we go two or three counties further north, the scenery will be quite different."

There is a post station in Thirty Mile Shop, Chen Bin took out the letter and certificate, and the station official hurriedly welcomed everyone in and greeted them hurriedly.

There were only seven or eight vacant rooms in the post station, which couldn't accommodate so many people, and the station chief was sweating greasyly, fearing that one of the guards sent by Jin Yiwei would dismantle his post station in displeasure, and the whole family would go to drink the northwest wind.

Fortunately, Chen Bin didn't care too much, arranged for Song Haonian's family to live in, and gave Xue Niang an empty room, and he and the rest went to draw lots, and those who got hold of it lived in a simple house, and those who couldn't get hold of it lived in a tent outside the post station.

Qingsong was unlucky, he didn't seize the opportunity to live in a house, Baihe was worried, and asked him to come in: "I share a room with Xue Niang, and you share a room with your brother-in-law, just make do with one night."

Qingsong refused: "I haven't lived in a tent yet!"

He was so excited that everyone regarded living in the tent as suffering, but he and Wen Wa looked at the tent with bright eyes and came up with many thrilling stories in their minds.

Wen Wa smoked the house, moaned and sighed for a while, quietly came to look for Qingsong, and wanted to exchange it with him, how could Qingsong be willing to exchange it?

In the end, the two of them found another Jinyiwei and gave him Wenwa's room, and the two boys happily went to live in the tent.Seeing that Lily couldn't hold back, she had to let them go.
