There is a girl in the village

The days passed quickly, Fuyuan Zhai handed over the accounts, several Zhuangzi sent Chinese New Year tributes, the military got vacations, and the various government offices began to move frequently. The two spent the holiday hastily, having a meal, writing Spring Festival couplets, and setting off firecrackers, but this year it is full of people and a lot of things.

Lu Yuanchang was exhausted from dealing with all the dignitaries, and Gu Xiaofu was too busy to touch the ground. The two fell asleep every night when they returned home, even Guoer couldn't take care of him personally.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month when it was snowing heavily, Lu Yuanchang and Wang Chao and Song Wenji waited against the wind at the south gate. They never waited until the end of Shenshi, when the Song family arrived late.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, but I waited for you here. I ate a mouthful of snow sand, this Northland is really not treated by people." Song Wenji was very happy to see his brother who had been separated for a long time. Again, he kept complaining that Beidi didn't support people. Compared with the capital, isn't it extremely harsh.

"Third brother, don't say that. Along the way, I feel that the Northland is still stable. At least there is no war. Only some poor households have a harder life. Compared with the two prefectures of Yunxiang and Xiangzhou, I don't know how much better it is. It's really a difference between heaven and hell." Farewell." Song Dalang knew that the Song family's foundation was in the Northland, so he and Song Erlang visited the people's livelihood on the way, and felt that his father ruled well. Although the Northland is a desolate place, the big cities are also In the extremely prosperous, rural households have a harder life, which should be related to the great famine last year.

"Brother is very right, third brother, you don't know something, and the capital is also in a difficult situation right now. A few days ago it was the harvest season, but Guanzhong was suffering from wars and chaos, and the people had no way of living. The south was flooded again, and the food was self-sufficient. The capital is short of food. This year, the capital is not as good as in previous years. Many wealthy households have begun to move to our north, because the war here has been eliminated and we can live a stable life. The capital There have been rumors that the new emperor's position is not right, and he will be punished by heaven for his failure of virtue. No more taxes.

"You two cousins, you've worked hard all the way. I'll discuss it after I get back to the mansion." Seeing that the people who came along the way were a little bit embarrassed, Wang Chao persuaded them to go back to the mansion early.

"That's good. I'm waiting for the men to feel the pain of the road. The women in the car can't stand it anymore." Song Dalang smiled, and seeing a handsome young man behind Wang Chao, he asked: "Cousin, is she But Yi'er's husband?"

"Could it be this bastard who took Yi'er away." Song Wenji complained without waiting for Wang Chao's answer.

"Eldest uncle, second uncle, and younger brother Lu Yuanchang, salute the two brothers." Lu Yuanchang cupped his hands and said, ignoring Song Wenji.

"Clear features, refreshing spirit, not bad." Song Dalang looked at Lu Yuanchang carefully, and nodded slightly.

After greeting each other, the group hurried back to the Song Mansion. Song Dingtian and Mrs. Song had been waiting in the Nuan Pavilion. After waiting for a long time, they were still a little uneasy. Gu Xiaofu accompanied Mrs. Song and comforted her softly, which made Mrs. Song feel My daughter is considerate.When it was getting dark, the housekeeper reported that the uncle and the second master finally brought the whole family.

Song Dingtian has been away from home for many years. When he was young, he often went back to the capital to complain about his job. Later, the late emperor became old and suspicious, so Song Dingtian refused to stay in the northern border in order to protect himself. It has been several years and he has not seen his eldest son and second son. .

"My daughter-in-law, my grandson, I have met my father, grandfather, mother, and grandmother." Song Dalang led the whole family to kneel down to Song Dingtian and Mrs. Song, because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the filial sons and grandsons below were very excited.

"Forget it, don't be too polite, boss and second child, your mother has already prepared a house for you, hurry up and bring someone in to wash Shu." Song Dingtian was very relieved to see that the whole family was quite a few, and it was rare to see a smile on his face. , I think it is joy from the heart.

After everyone had rested, they greeted each other in detail. The third son of the Song family surrounded Lu Yuanchang, and the third sister-in-law surrounded Gu Xiaofu. Compared to the pickiness of men towards Lu Yuanchang, the women were quite friendly to Gu Xiaofu. Call all four children to kowtow.

Song Dalang has two sons. The eldest son, the Song family, is already 12 and a half years old. The second son, Song He, is also nine years old. Song Dalang is 14 years older than Gu Xiaofu. They should have been married long ago, but the youngest sister in the family was lost. The whole family was focused on finding the child, and his marriage was delayed. It was not until three years later that Song Dalang married Mrs. Song, who had been engaged for six years, and married the Song family at nineteen.

Song Erlang and Song Sanlang each have a son named Song Wan and Song Shi. They are ten years old and eight years old respectively. They are thick-headed and tiger-brained, and their black eyes are sharp. Gu Xiaofu is better off being kowtowed by the children below, but It was a bit embarrassing for the Song family who was about the same height as him to kowtow, the Song family was only seven years younger than him, because of the disparity in age, Song Dalang could be Gu Xiaofu's father.

"This is a meeting gift my aunt prepared for you, don't dislike it." Gu Xiaofu asked Pinger to pass the pen, ink, paper and inkstone prepared earlier in the morning to several nephews, and said kindly.

"Thank you, Auntie." Several boys were well-bred, received the gift respectfully, and thanked them.

"Third brother, my aunt said that my aunt's family has a little cousin who is very cute." Song Shi was the youngest, and because it was the first time he saw Gu Xiaofu, he was still a little shy, but although the words were spoken to Song Wan, the His eyes were looking at Gu Xiaofu, that greedy look made people laugh.

The men in the Song family are all in love with sisters, Song Wan also looked at Gu Xiaofu expectantly when he heard Song Shi say so.

"Ping'er, go and have a look. If Miss wakes up, bring her to meet her uncle, aunt, and cousin." Gu Xiaofu smiled lightly, and hugged Song Shi into her arms. Because everyone laughed at him, he I'm a little embarrassed.

Song Shi felt that the faint scent on his aunt was very different from that of his aunt. It felt very clean, and being hugged and caressed by his aunt, he felt that this aunt who looked like an older sister was really nice, while the other three boys were extremely envious. , It's a pity that they are old, and I feel a little embarrassed.

Ping'er went to see Guo'er, saw that she was just awake, humming to find her mother, so she asked her to wrap her up carefully, and carried her to Nuan Pavilion.After Guo'er arrived, the four sons of the Song family turned their attention from Gu Xiaofu to Guo'er, and they all surrounded her to look at her. The kid teased him carefully, and when he saw his cousin looking at him attracted by him, he would smile cheerfully and smirk.

"Aunt, my cousin is really small and soft." Song Shi said stupidly.

"Stupid child, children are always like this when they were young, and you were soft and white when you were young." Song Sansao laughed when she saw her son was too stupid.

"Ping'er, bring Miss here and let the three sister-in-laws take a look." Gu Xiaofu ordered.

The three sisters-in-law of the Song family hugged each other according to their elders and children. Seeing that Guo'er was so obedient and clever, they all envied Gu Xiaofu. It would be great if they could give birth to a little padded jacket. Doing everything and dealing with four and a half boys every day drained their energy.

"Guo'er, give Third Aunt a laugh." Song Sansao teased Guo'er, but she didn't succeed, so she couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

"I'll do it." Song Wenji didn't know when he came to the side of the female relatives. He picked up Guo'er neatly, shook his hands up and down, left and right for a while, and Guo'er laughed "giggle". Everyone is attracted.

"Guo'er likes Uncle Three the most, right? Laughing, I just smiled when I hugged Guoer, this niece really has a discerning eye.

Everyone was infected by Guo'er's laughter, only Lu Yuanchang's face was a little heavy, and his daughter didn't know what to do, and she had a special relationship with Song Wenji.

"Third brother, you like your girl so much, why don't you give birth to one yourself, and then you can do whatever you want." Song Erlang said narrowly.

Hearing this, Song Wenji looked carefully at Song Sansao, and saw that she was not happy hearing this, so he said impatiently to Song Erlang: "I can't give birth, I want to give birth to you!"

Now, Song Dingtian, Lu Yuanchang, and Gu Xiaofu all understood the problem between Song Wenji and Song Sansao, Song Ersister looked at her husband reproachfully, Song Erlang touched his nose, and took Guoer over.

After the family had dinner, Lu Yuanchang followed the son of the Song family into Song Dingtian's study. The news brought by Song Dalang and Song Erlang was extremely important. Prince Mu's extraordinary ability had forced Wang Shicheng to send troops. In the cold, the Xixia soldiers were short of supplies and tired from long-term battles, and they were already retreating. Guo Mingda still stood still, thinking he had other plans.

Wang Shicheng's dispatch of troops is unfavorable news for the three clans. The alliance of the three clans has been broken. , the new king must have made a big move.

"Let's have a happy reunion year. After the Lantern Festival, let's worry about it." Song Dingtian comforted the group of young people, and while he was still healthy, he had to work hard to earn a secure family fortune for his children and grandchildren.

When they came, they were just a few people, but when they went back, they followed a large group of trucks. The three sons of the Song family prepared ten carts of dowry for Gu Xiaofu, mainly special products from the south and Guanzhong, and dragged them into the Lu residence in a mighty way.

Two days later, it will be New Year's Eve. The Lu Mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and they have a very lively reunion year with the Yang family. So he also wanted to go back and have a look. Although he was no longer the head of Luoxi Village, he had a deep affection for Luoxi Village.In this way, Yang Rong planned to travel with Lu Yuanchang and take the whole family back together.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yuanchang took Gu Xiaofu to the old man's house to pay New Year's greetings. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he went to Zhu's house, accompanied by Han Shuxuan.

Gu Xiaofu observed secretly, and found that Han Shuxuan and Gu Runniang were flirting with each other, and they were very affectionate, which was very consistent with what Lu Yuanchang said. She was not only happy that the two could find a confidant, but also worried about their future. Two weak women , How can they survive in this chaotic world? The two of them are in a different situation from their own. Lu Yuanchang shows off as a man and has military power in his hands. As long as his identity can be concealed, she and Lu Yuanchang don't have to worry about it in this life. But what about Han Shuxuan and Zhu Runniang? Lu Yuanchang will not object, but Zhu's family may not agree. At present, many young talents propose marriage to Zhu's mansion, and Aunt Zhu is very excited about picking a husband for Zhu Runniang.

It was Lu Yuanchang who was calmer, she felt that the relationship between the two was specious, whispering that Gu Xiaofu should not be anxious, and make plans after a while.If this is true, then Han Shuxuan and Zhu Runniang will definitely ask to come to their side, and there will be time if they think of a way.

I wish my family members feel honored to see Lu Yuanchang's family here in person, and I wish the Chief Bao remained the same, thinking in his heart that Lu Yuanchang did not forget his roots, and that it was not because he resisted all opinions and accepted Gu Xiaofu as his adopted daughter. As for Aunt Zhu, she talked to Gu Xiaofu about her family life, and she was very concerned about her recovery. She said that a famous Chinese gynecologist recently lived in Fencheng due to avoiding the chaos of the war. Xiaofu has only one woman who is not at ease.

Gu Xiaofu was a little moved when she heard the words. Although Lu Yuanchang had already shown the attitude that the fruit is enough, she still felt that if the Lu family could add another son, it would be a perfect and perfect thing for both children.

After the banquet, the group returned to the mansion. After freshening up, Lu Yuanchang and the two had the time to look through the chronology. Lu Yuanchang couldn't help biting his tongue when he saw his family's income on the account books. No wonder everyone wanted to be an official. It was the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty for three years, with one hundred thousand snowflakes in silver.Looking at Gu Xiaofu's dowry income, she couldn't help but laugh. The sum of all her Lu family's assets couldn't compare to Gu Xiaofu's annual income.

"Fu Niang, I have to rely on you to support me when I am discharged from the military and return to the fields." Lu Yuanchang said with emotion, the Song family's financial resources are too scary.

"Success, I think you are quite suitable to be a young lady." Gu Xiaofu smiled lightly, thinking that Lu Yuanchang's worried face was very cute.

"The Xiaosheng thanked Madam, and Xiaosheng has been doing his best to serve Madam since that night." Lu Yuanchang rushed over, Gu Xiaofu ran away in fright, but there was only so little room in the room, and the two of them gathered around the table After turning around a few times, she was still caught by Lu Yuanchang.

"Mo Nao, I have to get up early and go back to the village tomorrow. If you are disobedient, I won't support you." Panting slightly, Gu Xiaofu patted Lu Yuanchang's hand and said, but her tone was too coquettish.

Lu Yuanchang was deeply attracted. She felt that Gu Xiaofu was like wine, getting better and better with age. Right now, Gu Xiaofu was energetic, confident, and radiant every day. Lu Yuanchang felt that she couldn't look down on her.She stared at it in a daze for a long time before pressing down on her thoughts and obediently going to the kang to rest.
