Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The winter solstice of the Jin Dynasty is second only to the New Year's Day. On this day, the emperor will worship the sky, officials and noble families will worship the gods, and the common people will worship their ancestors.

On this day, the gates of the border gates will be closed for a truce, the soldiers will have a holiday, officials will also have a holiday, and even the merchants on the street will have a holiday.

Therefore, people will prepare all kinds of ingredients one or two days before the winter solstice, so as not to be unable to buy things on the street on the winter solstice.

Every year, government schools and academies also have winter solstice holidays.

When they were in Qili Village, Mr. Zhuang usually only gave them a three-day vacation, but when they arrived in Yizhou City, they knew that people's government schools generally gave them a five-day vacation.

Mrs. Liu arrived in Yizhou City on the day of Bai Shan's holiday.

This time she brought her daughter-in-law, Zheng Shi, too.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are naturally not good at living in a small courtyard, but their original courtyard is too far away, so remote that it is even farther than the city gate.

Bai Shan was still worried about where his grandmother and mother would live when they arrived, but who knew that after they received someone at the gate of the city, the motorcade went directly to Huanxi Street next to Kangxue Street, and then they stopped in front of a courtyard .

Bai Shan jumped out of the car first, looked up at the plaque, found the word "Bai Zhai" written on it, and was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Liu helped Nanny Liu to get out of the car, and when she saw her grandson stunned for a while, she smiled and said, "Don't look at it, this is my home. We will have a chance to see it later, let's go in first."

After entering the gate, Man Bao was amazed, walked up to Bai Shan and whispered: "Your family has a house in Yizhou City, why have you never heard of it?"

Bai Erlang also caught up from behind, "Yes, didn't you say that your other courtyard is far away, too far from Kangxue Street, is it inconvenient?"

Bai Shan: "...I only knew about it myself."

Nanny Liu helped Mrs. Liu to the main courtyard. There are three courtyards in total, and there are three rows side by side, which is very large.

At least Man Bao saw that one courtyard was about the same size as the small courtyard they lived in now, and there were a total of eight such small courtyards here, including the big courtyard in the main hall, so there were nine.

Mrs. Liu sat down on the first seat, and then she explained to Bai Shan: "This is a yard that our family just bought. Since you were admitted to a government school, I have attracted people's attention. It took a lot of effort to get it I bought it, and it was repaired not long ago."

Mrs. Liu asked with a smile, "How do you like this yard?"

Bai Shan nodded and said, "It looks pretty good."

"Then you and Mr. Zhuang will move in?"

But Bai Shan shook his head after thinking for a while, "Grandmother, we are used to living in a small courtyard, and it is closer to the government school. To go to school in this courtyard, you have to go around first and then enter the square gate, and then go to the main street to go to the school. So far."

Mrs. Liu smiled slightly, patted his hand and said, "It's fine if you don't want to, and I won't force you, but you can stay here for a few days, and I'll send someone to clean up your house."

He said again: "I will send someone to invite Mr. Zhuang in a while. He is your teacher and has helped you a lot. We have only just arrived in Yizhou City. Thank you sir."

Bai Shan agreed happily.

Only then did Mrs. Liu look at Man Bao, took her small hand and pulled him to her, looked at her carefully and then smiled: "It's just been a few months since I saw you, you have grown taller and more beautiful."

Man Bao's eyes lit up with joy, and he asked repeatedly: "Really, really?"

"Really, ask Aunt Zheng if you don't believe me."

Zheng smiled and nodded, "It's getting better and better, especially this face, which is white and tender."

As she spoke, she couldn't hold back and stretched out her hand to pinch.

Man Bao: ... She knew that when she saw Aunt Zheng, she would pinch her face.

Mrs. Liu looked at it with a smile, and praised Man Bao Datong. This time, she looked at Bai Erlang and continued to praise, "Erlang is getting more and more handsome, and he is taller. How is his studies?"

Bai Erlang, who was quite happy to hear the praise at first, was a little bit worried. Why do adults have to habitually ask about their studies after complimenting others?

Although Mrs. Liu just moved in, she had called someone to repair and clean the room in advance. This time, she brought more people, so she quickly packed everything, and the kitchen started to get busy, preparing dinner for tonight.

Before Mr. Zhuang arrived, Mrs. Liu pulled the three of them to talk, "On the day of the winter solstice, the Bai family in Kangxue Street will hold a banquet. All three of you will go with us."

She smiled at Bai Erlang: "Your father will also come over tomorrow, we will go together the day after tomorrow."

Bai Erlang: "Why is my father going too? Isn't that your relative?"

Bai Shan: "...Are you stupid? Is your surname Bai too?"

Man Bao laughed loudly, and said happily: "Shanbao's father is your cousin, isn't your cousin's clan also your father's clan?"

Bai Erlang reacted belatedly, and then he said with grief and indignation: "My father never told me, didn't Bai Shan memorize some spectrum? I didn't memorize it. How did I know Longzhou Tomoko Whose house is the third room?"

Mrs. Liu laughed and said: "That's your father's fault. I'll tell him later, how can he not recite his family tree?"

She sorted out the relationship for them, "It's a great joy to move in. This person who moved here is your cousin, named only Yu, who is the eldest son of the third house of Zhizitang in Longzhou. It’s the fourth server, and it’s the fifth server with yours.”

So the blood relationship and relationship are not very close.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Although the blood relationship is not close, we are of the same clan and live in a foreign land after all. Naturally, we have to connect them together. That's why he spread invitations widely. Since he has invited, let's go."

"However, in terms of relationship, his family is closer to his aunt who married into Yizhou City. Bai Yu's father is the aunt's cousin..."

Mrs. Liu said: "Auntie, you are going to be called aunts. Her son, Qiao Ji, is the chief governor, and Bai Yu is the assistant minister."

Bai Shan said: "They are all five ranks, but Bai Yu is half a rank higher than Qiao Ji."

Mrs. Liu knocked him on the head, "I want to call Uncle Tang."

Then he said: "But when it comes to real power, your cousin Qiao is better. But these things are not something you children should consider."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "You just need to know these things. When you go to someone's house as a guest, just keep the etiquette. For the rest, you should have fun, eat, and fight nonsense, you understand?"

The three should go down.

Mrs. Liu then pulled Man Bao and said with a smile: "On that day, you will follow me and your aunt Zheng. When you first arrive in Yizhou City, you should get to know more girls of the same age, so that you can play together."

Man Bao thought of the second sister Fu who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, nodded and said: "I know Grandma Liu, I will be very friendly to people and make good friends."

Bai Shan said from the side: "I think it's a bit difficult."

Mrs. Liu patted him lightly, "Don't bully my sister."

"What sister, she is still my senior sister."

Good night
