The old lady is reborn

The old man was confused at one moment and clear at another. When he heard that the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion came to cancel the engagement, the old man was confused for half a day.

I don't know why, but now I seem to understand it clearly as soon as he tells me about it.

The old man said to his son, Dongyang Hou, "This matter is almost over for us, but the girl is still in Yunlan Temple.

I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to leave there.

The Nan'an Marquis' Mansion did not make things difficult for our family when handling this matter, so our family should at least reciprocate the favor.

Ask your wife to go to Yunlan Temple and bring some food and daily necessities to see the girl.

If there is anything that needs our help, both sides will have a chance to discuss it."

Dongyang Hou nodded and said, "Son, I understand."

Therefore, the wife of Marquis Dongyang came this time purely to bring some things to see Rong Yunmiao.

Yun Miao quickly tidied up the room, straightened his monk's robe and hat, and went out to greet him.

But he saw that Nanny Zhang was already waiting outside the door, and his heart immediately calmed down.

Yun Miao’s mood is very different now. He feels guilty and is especially humble and sincere in his dealings with others.

When the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang saw her, her doubts were dispelled and she began to like the girl a little more.

I thought: Even if she is the eldest daughter of a noble family or the daughter of a wealthy family, there are always loopholes and it is common for young girls to get playful.

.........

Yao Yuan presided over the wedding of his eldest son Luo Anyao and Nizi. Originally, Luo Wenliang had just been executed for 100 days, so it seemed inappropriate to get married so soon.

But Yao Yuan obviously couldn't hold on any longer. She often fell into a coma for more than three months. In order for her mother to see her get married, Luo Anyao and Nizi got married.

On the night of his son's wedding, Yao Yuan handed a small box to Nizi and said, "This home is handed over to you."

Five days later, Yao Yuan passed away.

Nizi asked Luo Anyao: "Does everything you said count?"

Luo Anyao said: "Didn't we high-five three times already?"

Nizi felt it was not safe, so Luo Anyao had to write another document. After reading it, Nizi put it away and started working.

In Nizi's opinion, the fields and shops of the Luo family only made them a small wealthy family, and there was no need for them to live their daily lives like the noble families in the storybooks.

Nizi didn't understand how those wealthy and powerful families managed their households, but when it came to managing her own household, just like managing her own and Ding Qing's small household, practicality was the first priority.

So Nizi dismissed many servants.

The garden has been rented out, but family members are the hosts and can visit it anytime and anywhere.

Nizi looked through the old account books of those shops, but couldn't understand them. However, she wrote down the important numbers, the annual profits.

Nizi increased the number by more than half and told the shopkeepers to pay this amount at the end of the year. The extra amount would be theirs and she would not take care of the rest.

Several shopkeepers said that this was too much of an increase. Nizi took out the paper she copied and read it again: "It hasn't increased in ten years, not much."

Luo Anyao's two younger brothers and one younger sister originally lived in different courtyards, each with their own set of servants.

After Nizi dismissed many servants, she moved her two younger brothers and one younger sister to the annex of the main courtyard and settled them in the east and west wing rooms.

He ordered people to rebuild the wall and rented out almost half of the original house.

Nizi discovered that two of Luo Anyao's classmates always came to ask him out, and after going out, they would go to one of their homes to watch cockfighting.

Nizi asked Ding Qing for help.

Jingwei moved a chair to the middle of the yard and sat down. Not only Luo Anyao, but also the two younger brothers and one younger sister in the east and west wing rooms were studying diligently.

Yue Heng's marriage to Han Qingyan, the second daughter of the Dongyang Marquisate, was hindered because her elder brother broke off the engagement with Rong Yunmiao and has not yet married.

The Dongyang Marquisate means that the eldest brother must get married first.

So Yue Heng began to worry about the marriage of his future brother-in-law Han Qinghua.

Yue Heng wrote down the names of all the unmarried ladies from noble families who were of appropriate age.

Lin Yindi saw it and said: "You are acting as a matchmaker? How do you know whether they are married or not?"

"My grandmother heard it when she was playing mahjong, and sometimes she would ask a few more questions."

You two looked at each other and asked, "What should we do next?"

"Should we see what he likes?"

Therefore, Yue Heng has been trying hard to get close to the group of scholars where Han Qinghua is these days, so much so that Jing Zhong asked Huai'an: "Is Yue Heng planning to give up martial arts and pursue literature?

Huai'an said: "It's just like when you asked us to accompany you to He Shao's house.

Yue Heng is also not interested in wine."

Jing Zhong was shocked: "He is gay?!"

Lin Yindi spat out a mouthful of tea.

Jing Zhong seemed to have suddenly realized something: "No wonder he has never married. But are we not as good as those scholars?"

I am not happy to lose no matter where I am.

Yan Hui tried to hold it in at first, but he swallowed the tea forcefully and choked and started coughing.

Jing Zhong was still trying to justify himself: "Yes, he can't beat us. If he dares to attack us, he will definitely get beaten.

There was a princess behind Huai'an, he didn't dare, and he didn't fancy Lin Yindi either..."

Lin Yindi recovered and said to He Shao, "Why don't you just stop caring?"

He Shao said, "According to his thinking, it actually makes sense.

The last sentence in particular touched my heart."

Lin Yindi glared at him, but he also knew that he had dug too many holes in his daily life, and they were almost like a beehive, so he had to give up.

In the end, Huai'an told Jingzhong the whole story and said, "It was indeed my words that led to misunderstanding."

Jing Zhong shook his head and said, "I have met Han Qinghua several times. He is quite aloof. I am afraid it will be difficult for Yue Heng to find out anything."

Lin Yindi asked: "Why not let Luoxue go and ask? A monk from afar is better at chanting sutras.

Her customs are different, and she is a little princess of Miaojiang. Even if she said something wrong, Han Qinghua wouldn't be angry, right?"

Several people looked towards the women.

Tang Peilin did something for Zeng Muwan to see while they were talking.

Luoxue gave Wenshu a Miao hairstyle, and then she took out the Miao silver ornaments from her own head and put them in Wenshu's hair.

Princess Anyang and He Xian were tasting the snacks that each other brought.

Huai'an and Jingzhong looked at each other and both knew that their wives had brought some strange things that they loved to eat during pregnancy.

The two of them were taking turns eating, and both of their maids were carrying lunch boxes. Did that mean the other one had some too?

So they both looked at each other at the same time: "You...?"

They both nodded at the same time: "Yeah."

Then they both suddenly realized what had happened and looked at each other with a look of realization.

When the people around saw what they were talking about, they looked at each other, meaning "Do you know?", and when they saw that they were all shaking their heads, they thought, what are they waiting for?

He Shao rushed forward and pinned Jing Zhong to the ground first. Huai'an saw that the situation was not good and wanted to use his special skill of running away.

But Yan Hui and Lin Yindi blocked them from the front and back. After a while, the five of them fought together.

The female members of the family were used to it and pretended not to see anything.

Huai'an struggled and said, "If you just ask me a question first..."

Jing Zhong finally showed up: "Do you dare to fight me one on one..."

Then he said to Huai'an, "Why are you pressing my arm? Aren't we on the same side?"

Huai'an sighed: "Where is I? Yue Heng is here."

As soon as Yue Heng came in, he saw several people fighting and was hesitating about who to help.

Lin Yindi said: "They are hiding something from us!"

When Yue Heng heard this, he realized that was not possible and immediately went over to hug Jing Zhong.

.........

Meanwhile, at the Luo family, half a city away, Luo Anyi and Luo Anyu were asking their second brother to take them out to play.

The weather has been getting colder over the past two months. I heard that the surface of Kyoto Lake has frozen over and we can go ice skating now.

The younger brother and sister raised their little faces and looked at their second brother Luo Anshun earnestly.

The three-year-old sister has always been known as a “noble who speaks slowly”. Now she still speaks incoherently: “Brother…brother, go, play, play on the ice, whoosh, whoosh, brother is dragging me…”

Luo Anshun hesitated for a long time, and took advantage of the fact that his elder brother and sister-in-law were not around, and secretly ran away from home with Luo Anyu and Luo Anyi.

There was a hole in the courtyard wall, which was blocked by several large bricks. Once they were moved away, the three children slid out swiftly.

The second brother helped his two younger siblings up, straightened their clothes, and brushed off the mud and grass leaves on their bodies and heads.

While pushing the bricks back, he said, "Let's go to the lake and see if it's time to play and if there are people ice skating there, then we'll go down.

Otherwise, you are not allowed to go down, do you hear me? "

My brother nodded repeatedly: "Yeah."

The younger sister began to nod vigorously, stamped her little feet on the ground, and finally blurted out, "I...I know."

The three of them went to the lake excitedly. On the way, they met a man selling candied haws. Luo Anshun bought a red one for each of his younger brother and sister. The three of them happily went to the lake.

From afar, the lake seems very lively.

There were people actually ice-skating, and one person even made a hole in the ice and was fishing there.

My younger brothers and sisters were so happy that they wanted to go to the lake and skate on the ice.

Luo Anshun felt something was wrong and stopped the two of them: "There's no one here, they're all over there, let's go around."

My younger sister Luo Anyi can no longer walk. She is wearing so many clothes that she looks like a little bun.

Along the way, I relied on the anticipation of ice skating and the encouragement of candied haws.

They could obviously walk across the lake, but their brother asked them to take such a big detour.

She held her brother's hand and wanted to sit on the ground: "I can't walk... I need to take a rest..."

Luo Anshun looked at his brother: "Anyu, can you still walk?"

Luo Anyu shook his head: "Brother, I can't walk anymore. Let's take a break."

Luo Anshun took off his coat, put it on the ground, and let his younger brothers and sisters sit on it to rest.

It was fine when I was walking, but once I sat down, the cold wind seemed to come from all directions.

Luo Anyi's neck was shrunken due to the cold.

When Luo Anshun saw this, he and his brother stood in front and behind to block the wind for his sister.

After sitting and resting for a while, Luo Anshun noticed that someone seemed to have seen the three of them sitting by the lake.

Thinking of the kidnappers, Luo Anshun could no longer sit still and said to his brothers and sisters, "Let's go. If we sit for too long in the cold wind, we'll get sick."

The two children stood up after hearing what their brother said. Luo Anshun picked up his coat, shook it, put it on again, and continued walking, holding one of them in each hand.

But they couldn't walk far. Luo Anyi seemed to be unable to walk anymore. She stretched out her arms and said, "Brother... Brother, hold me... hold me."

Luo Anyu didn't want to leave either: "Brother, it's the same lake, but people are having fun over there, but no one is here. It's probably not because the ice is not solid.

It's just the people who rent ice boats setting up a stall over there."
