prosperous life

Beijing Suburb Yuefengzhuang

It will soon be February, and there are still a few days before the beginning of spring in February of the 19th year of Dasheng Chengyuan. The warm weather is a bit intoxicating, but Rong Ningjin feels a little weird, because the tenants are also preparing for spring plowing. All very busy.

Rong Ningjin just came from Qingfeng Manor, and there was a busy scene there, because many people thought that the snow during the New Year was a good omen, and even the Ministry of Rituals was required to prepare for the New Year's celebration. It is more grand than in previous years.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites has become an official, and Rong Anxian will take over the position of Shangshu in March, but the power has been passed to Rong Anxian as early as the year after the year, so Rong Anxian is very busy now.

Zhou Jing was preparing things to go to Dengzhou. Rong Ningrui joined the army and Zhou's family helped out. Zhou Jing hadn't returned to her natal family for many years. If you don't agree, you have to go with Rui Geer anyway!What's the point when Ruige'er goes to the border.

Rong Anxian could only touch his nose honestly, and wrote a sincere letter to his uncle, and tried to bring good things to send there. Although the Zhou family is an accumulated family, Dengzhou is not a prosperous place after all.

Rong Ningjin saw that the people under her command and the tenants were doing well, and when she was about to return home, Zhou Cheng brought an elderly man over.

"Young master, this servant has something to do." He pointed to the old man behind him and said, "This is the old man who came to raise lotus root. Just now the old man said that he was not sure about something but he still had to talk to you." Say it."

The old Chutou is called Chushan, and he has a son named Chuhe. These two were bought by Zhou Cheng to raise lotus root. The old Chutou has been doing farm work all his life and raised lotus root for most of his life. It is a bit strange to see this day recently. , Thinking about it, I feel awkward. Old Chutou and his son have stayed in Zhuangzi for more than three months, and they even received pork during the Chinese New Year.

This made the old Chutou and his son very happy. They haven't eaten meat for several years. They also gave dry food when they worked for the former family. There was only soup and no meat in the dishes. Originally, the old Chutou only signed a contract and did not sell himself. , Later, when he got older, no one was willing to sign a contract with him, so he couldn't just stay, his son was already working hard.

Later, seeing the conditions of Zhou Cheng's dignitary, the old Chutou planned to sell himself to Rong's house to give the money to his son, but Zhou Cheng also felt that he was a little too old, so Chu He said that he was tied with the old Chutou. Cheng felt that Chu He was filial, and that the father and son of the Chu family really had some skills in planting lotus root, so he agreed.

Zhou Cheng told Rong Ningjin before, but Rong Ningjin didn't meet these two people specifically.

The old chutou's central idea is very clear, the weather is too warm now, it's not normal!

Xiaxiangyuan, the second room of Anwangfu, Beijing

Xiao Shuang gritted her teeth and forced herself to sit up, but unfortunately she was in excruciating pain as soon as she sat up, so she could only call the maid outside to come in, "Pure dew! Come here quickly!"

The pure dew took care of Xiao Shuang until midnight yesterday, while Xiao Shuang fell asleep, she squinted in the outer room for a while, when Xiao Shuang called her, she hurried in, "Auntie, is it still in severe pain?"

Xiao Shuang was happily preparing to marry into Prince An's Mansion that day. On the day of the wedding, there was only one small sedan chair, and she was not allowed to wear a red wedding dress, so Xiao Shuang was stunned.

Xiao Shuang still got into the sedan chair obediently under the expectation of Mrs. Xiao and Aunt Liu's hope. The bearer chose a street that was not too busy to go around to Prince An's Mansion, and then took Xiao Shuang from a place at the back door of Prince An's Mansion. The corner door was carried in. Of course Xiao Shuang couldn't see it and didn't know it in the sedan chair. Chunlu was a maid, but she could see it clearly when she followed outside the sedan chair.

On the first day Xiao Shuang entered the mansion, the Second Young Mistress Liu of Prince An's Mansion was very virtuous and told Sui Second Master Sui Shen: Remember to spend the night in the bride's house, after all, it is the first day of newcomers, so they must be treated well.

Sui Shen still had a good way of dealing with newcomers, with sweet words and gentleness, the one who gave jewelry and clothes, the one who coaxed Xiao Shuang to be dizzy for the first few days and couldn't tell the north from the south. The palace has more status.

Xiao Shuang is only average in appearance, even if she is not compared with those delicate and flowery beauties, even Xiao Wen, who is also a daughter of the Xiao family, can't compare with her, so Sui Shen's freshness lasted for three days and it ended, so I don't bother to talk to her anymore she is gone.

Why don't Xiao Shuang call her Second Miss?The brain is not ordinary two, Sui Shen can't come, she thinks that the mistress Liu is keeping him, so she rushes to the main house to find someone, Liu doesn't have to speak, Aunt Xiao is taken by Sui Er The young master rushed back directly.

Of course Xiao Shuang was not convinced, she felt that Mrs. Liu must have said something in front of Sui Shen, so she activated the invincible mode she had in the Xiao family before, and began to criticize Mrs. Liu.

Elder Xiao of the Xiao family doted on her but did not teach her the difference between concubine and concubine, Aunt Liu protected her but taught her to fight for favor, Mrs. Xiao loved her but did not understand what she taught her, so Xiao Shuang's style is very Enough, enough to be heard across the courtyard wall, and then, without Mrs. Liu doing anything, Xiao Shuang's words were known by Princess An who passed by nearby, so there was no need to say anything, let's punish him!

Xiao Shuang was hit by the board, not too many, five boards, but it was enough for Xiao Shuang, and she passed out immediately. Chunlu and the mother-in-law took her back to the room to apply the medicine, and reluctantly rested for a while, now the pain When I woke up, I remembered what happened.

Xiao Shuang felt that Prince An's Mansion was bullying her. Prince An's Mansion looked down on Xiao's family, so she must talk to Mr. Xiao!

"The pure dew told my aunt at home that I was not here, and asked the master to take me back, hurry up!" Xiao Shuang didn't know that she and her maid had been grounded, and she still carried the money from Xiao's house.

"Auntie, please take good care of it. The concubine said that you and the servants in your house cannot leave Xiaxiangyuan for a month, especially when Aunt Geng and Aunt Zhang are beside you. This month's time to take care of your body is justified." Chunlu felt distressed when she saw the young lady who grew up with her since she was a child, but the married concubine would never come back from her mother's family, could it be that the second young lady didn't notice that she didn't even have a dowry ?

Chunlu felt that if an aunt dared to challenge the mistress, only Miss Xiao could do this.

Xiao Shuang is not a person who can be obedient and understand, so she continued to cry, the maids in the house couldn't coax her, and she really asked other aunts in the yard to report to the main house. Of course, Xiao Shuang herself Going forward, Mrs. Liu will not show mercy this time.

Xiao Shuang's one-month delay turned into three months, so she could only hide in the room and lie on her stomach.This time Xiao Shuang became honest after suffering a lot, of course it was superficial.

In the room, talk about the injustice between Princess An and the Liu family, and talk about their selfishness and selfishness just like the Zhang family. Remembering the three-day warmth of Sui Shen, it has become an important part of the life of Prince Xiao Shuang'an. .

Of course Xiao Shuang would not know that her good sister Xiao Wen was also thinking about her.

At the beginning, Mr. Xiao did not expect to be able to catch up with Prince An's Mansion or Shitong Bo's Mansion. As a result, Xiao Shuang said something that Princess De didn't like to see in Prince De's Mansion. Of course, this was Xiao Shuang's own problem. Wen doesn't matter much.

However, Mrs. Shi Tongbo heard from Princess An that the second young master of Prince An's mansion wanted to accept the second young lady of the Xiao family as a concubine, so she asked casually, and Princess An said that the second young lady Xiao had several younger sisters. The princess said that there was a fourth girl from a concubine who was better than the second lady.

As for what is good about this, Princess An and Mrs. Shi Tongbo have different understandings. Prince An's House thinks that Miss Xiao Er is obedient and well-behaved, while Mrs. Shi Tongbo thinks that the daughter of the Xiao family concubine is disobedient. Only in this way can Mrs. Shi Tongbo separate the concubine.

Both of them guessed right, that is, the candidate was changed, and Mrs. Shi Tongbo picked the fourth Miss Xiao who was very winky, and she just greeted her honestly and then went back to her own yard to stay in the house. However, the second son of Wang An was born to Princess An, and Princess An naturally would not have the idea of ​​separating the second young master of Wang An, and the Xiao family is not a family that can return people who are sent out casually, even if they are concubines.

So Concubine An could only put her anger on Xiao Shuang who was still bouncing around happily.

And Xiao Wen hated Xiao Shuang because her mother-in-law found out why Mrs. Shi Tongbo chose her. Originally, Shen Shuo was lame, but Shen Shuo had always been very idealistic and confident. He couldn't accept the sudden change, so Shen Shuo became very gloomy.

After Xiao Wen and Shen Shuo got married, Shen Shuo never smiled at her, let alone said a heartfelt word. Shen Shuo was sad all day long, and especially at night, he chanted poems outside the window.

Reciting poems is not bad, but what does it feel like to recite poems with the windows of the inner room open in winter? Anyway, Xiao Wen can't find other feelings except that she is not very dignified and wrapped in two thick quilts to keep out the cold.

Fourth Miss Xiao fluttered around in such an environment, so naturally she would not have any good ideas for Mr. Xiao and Second Miss Xiao who were the instigators. Xiao Wen naturally started her strategy of saving the country with curves.

Since Master Xiao and Second Miss Xiao can influence the people around them through their actions, Miss Xiao Fourth thinks she can try it too.

It can only be said that the times make heroes, and the character of growth in the environment determines the destiny.
