The husband's son-in-law
Chapter 75
The layout of the yard bought by the Yan family is similar to that of the Zheng family in Ping'an Town.
The courtyards of the second entrance are roughly like this.
The main house, the wing rooms on the east and west sides, the side rooms on the left and right side of the main room and the wing rooms, plus the porter's room, the inverted room, and the stove room, a total of fifteen rooms. The yard is spacious, and there is no such thing as a viewing garden of dwarf pine in Zheng's house. , it looked like it had been vacant for a long time, and was bought by the Yan family.
"My house is cheap, and there is a stable at the back. A house like this next to it is selling for over 400 taels. My family got a cheap one." Liu Shu mentioned that he felt very happy that his house was a good deal.
Gu Zhao asked his second brother in private what happened.The surrounding area is 400 taels. Looking at your yard, the tile roof and brick walls have all been repaired. There is a hand-painted veranda around, and the house has all the furniture. It should not be cheap.
Their family didn't run for nothing yesterday, at least they knew about the housing prices in the capital.The imperial palace is the center, which radiates into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city cannot be bought by officials, and only the relatives of the emperor can live in it, such as the six adult princes of Emperor Kang Jing, and some princes and the like.
From the beginning of the outer city, the first and second ring roads are divided according to distance, cost, and specifications. The average price of a more expensive room is 80 taels, and a yard with five or six entrances. The total number of large and small rooms cannot exceed 60, plus the cost of the yard and garden. Expensive Taihu stones, etc., cost an average of 6000 taels per yard.
No matter how expensive it is tens of thousands of taels, there are also some.
This is not a room that their petty officials can see.
The current location of the Yan family is really not particularly remote, and the house looks pretty good, there is no reason why it should be so cheap.
"The original owner of the yard was also an official. He was arrested and imprisoned last year, and was beheaded in June this year." Yan Jinxin said.
Gu Zhao: ...
No wonder.
Most of the people who can buy this lot are officials or ancestral houses.Being an official believes in feng shui, and the former owner lost his life when he became an official and was imprisoned. It is definitely unlucky to come to see the house.Just like the small yard rented by his family in Ningping County, the neighbors in the county said that the rent has now risen to 13 taels of silver a year.
Why, the place where Master Jinshi lived, is tainted with Master Gu's luck.
Even if the yard is small, it is still very popular.
"It's an advantage." Gu Zhao believes the good ones, but not the bad ones. He smiled and raised his teacup to touch his second brother, "Let's go up step by step."
Yan Jinxin took a sip with a serious face, clear in his heart, "If it wasn't for Brother Zhao, our family would still be renting a house now. Even if it's so cheap, we can't afford it."
Liu Shu and Brother Zhou Zhou had a good chat, and they twitched their ears when they heard the man say this, and immediately said: "Yes, thank you Brother Zhou Zhou, your husband, my family's silver is only 100 taels including the 270 taels sent by Uncle Li. Two more, it’s still far away, and he didn’t allow me to accept money, but fortunately, he brought back 100 taels, saying that when Long live rewarded your husband, he also rewarded my man, which is enough to buy a house.”
"When Xianggong came back, he brought 100 taels, saying that it was a reward from the sage." Li Zhouzhou was very happy when he took the silver. In the past, said: "I thought I would give it every time, so it didn't?"
Yan Jinxin replied: "No." He also added, "Not all Yi Jia will receive silver rewards."
Gu Zhao: ...
So should I mention it?
Gu Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why did Second Brother Yan not be serious anymore.
"Zhou Zhou, it's not that I lied to you—" Gu Zhaoxian explained to Zhou Zhou, "It's actually quite embarrassing to say that the reward of one hundred taels of silver for the three of them is all because of my misery. "
Yan Jinxin: "Brother Zhao is too modest, I believe you really have lofty ambitions in your heart, the emperor is wise, otherwise he would not have rewarded you with silver and also benefited me and the second place."
"So it's not the top three every time?" Liu Shu also understood now, he wanted to urge the man to speak carefully, but he felt bad, brother Zhou Zhou, the man didn't seem to want to mention it, so he couldn't let him urge him , causing people to lose face.
Gu Zhao saw that everyone in the room was curious, but no one asked him, so he asked him to make it clear, so he smiled, stopped hiding, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. At that time, the palace exam was over, and our group was outside. Wait for the results first, listen to the imperial edict and enter the palace, and the ranking will be given by the holy magistrate..."
Everyone listened carefully, even the elders who didn't understand stopped chatting.Only Fubao was in his father's arms, waving his arms and hands, babbling and talking, his father just patted it lightly, the hall was quiet, and his father's voice was hypnotic, so he slowly closed his eyes Fell asleep.
"Second brother's poems are very good. When he came to the other side, Jinshi also took the school exam to learn. When he came to me, he praised me for looking like a flower."
Yan Jinxin was drinking tea from a teacup beside him, covering the corner of his mouth with a slight smile.
Every time Zhaodi said these words, there was always something funny about them.
Li Zhouzhou also laughed.
"My knowledge is not as solid as before. I originally had a second-class position, and I am already very satisfied." Gu Zhao felt that Emperor Kang Jing didn't really want to give him Tanhua at that time, and promoted him to the first-class list. , It all depends on the aesthetics of the high-ranking person, but it is clear at a glance whether excellent or ordinary is good.
For example, Brother Yan, he is a figure of learning god, the best of the best.
"Then the Holy Majesty asked me how to be a son-in-law, so that I am not afraid of being ridiculed by scholars all over the world?" Gu Zhao didn't mention this, because he was afraid that Zhou Zhou would take it to heart.His family, Zhou Zhou, cared a lot about him. If he didn't make it clear, Zhou Zhou would feel that he was being held back.
Gu Zhao looked over, and sure enough, the smile in Zhou Zhou's eyes paused, even his father was worried about him, worried about his future, Gu Zhao felt warm in his heart, and said with a light smile, "I Say you're not afraid."
Li Zhouzhou was so worried that he almost stood up.
No matter how careless Liu Shu is, he dared not bring up the topic of the emperor lightly when the door was closed in the room. Even if he said it, he asked the man about the door, saying the honorific titles such as Holy Majesty and Long Live.
"I'm afraid I can't serve Dali." Gu Zhao said the original words at that time.
There are various reasons for him to become the son-in-law, the most direct one is that he wanted to continue to take the imperial examinations, but he became the son-in-law of the Li family, and married Zhou Zhou because he fell in love with Zhou Zhou at first sight, and it was also somewhat forced by the situation .
When Fang first came here, if he mentioned that we are not in a hurry to get married and talk about free love for a year and a half, it would be tantamount to finding trouble and implicating the Li family and being scolded by Zhou Zhou.So we can only get married first, and develop relationships later.
He and Zhou Zhou have a good relationship and are very affectionate, and he doesn't feel that being a married woman is inferior to others.
But none of these answers can be brought out at the time. If you say it, your career is half over, and it may even annoy Long Yan.
Ruanfan, no ambition, love brain, etc., can't be reused.
I can only find another way to find a rainbow fart in the cracks and blow it to the emperor.
I'm not afraid that the scholars all over the world will call me insulting and gentle as a married man behind my back, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to serve Dali.
At this time, one sentence is wrong, the emperor can kill you, even if the sage is kind enough to save your life, but you have read books for so many years before, Zhou Zhou and his father worked hard to make money for him, it was all in vain, very Maybe he will become a laughing stock - if he is never hired except for his fame, he will never be able to turn over in this life.
Gu Zhao was walking on thin ice. When Emperor Kang Jing asked that question, his mind was running at high speed, and he forced himself to be calm in his heart, thinking about the worst result, so he could blow flattery in any situation, and he said it with true feelings.
The emperor selects talents, and there are so many Jinshi watching in the hall. Of course, it is impossible to just chat with you and ask why it is so simple to marry you. Even if the emperor asks a simple question, your answer should rise. Don’t stick to personal feelings and magnify it , stand still.
"Gu Zhao grew up in the countryside. He knew that he was incompetent and thoughtless. He was once criticized. Thanks to the Li family's acceptance, he allowed Gu Zhao to study. Although Gu Zhao was small and weak, his ability to read and write was as stated in the book. The man has ambitions everywhere, and he must serve the country, even if it is a brick or a tile, as long as it can be used in Gu Zhao's place, Gu Zhao is willing to go there and be a small cornerstone of the Dali..."
Then he talked about the fertilizer method he figured out when he was at home in the village. This fertilizer method is filthy and is looked down upon by others. It may bring a good harvest to the villagers in the village, just like he is a son-in-law. Someone said behind his back He lost his reputation as a scholar, but only after reading a book can he show his ambition and do practical things for Dali.
These words are a bit blunt, but they are very suitable for Gu Zhao's poor background, coupled with his sincere and sincere heart.
Anyway, Emperor Kang Jing was a little moved when he heard this, and asked what is the way to fertilize the field.
Of course, Gu Zhao would not answer in detail, saying that excrement and urine would pollute the eyes and ears of the Holy Majesty, what he said was that the harvest in the field was good, and the amount of an acre of land was used after it was used.He also gave a blow to the Fu Zun who had issued the plaque before, meaning that the Fu Zun knew that it had been promoted.
Emperor Kang Jing looked at Wang Zetian. Wang Zetian had already found out the name of the county magistrate of Gu Jinshi's hometown at that time, and now he passed it directly. Emperor Kang Jing looked at it and remembered it. The note handed over by Fan Min, the magistrate of the state.
At that time, Emperor Kang Jing was on his [-]th birthday, and when he saw the colorful article in this brochure, it said that the world would be peaceful and the grains would be plentiful, and it would be long live to work hard and move the heavens so much——
Emperor Kang Jing had seen many such flattering stories, so he didn't take them seriously at the time.It's just that the time for handing over the paperwork to express merit was good, and the food reported was indeed a little too much, Kang Jingdi Long Xinyue raised a pen and mobilized it for Fan Min.
Now listening to Gu Zhao's words, a series of matchups.
The county magistrate of Ningping County is not just doing nothing.
Emperor Kang Jing didn't show much expression at that time, and asked Fan Min later.
Fan Min, the fifth-rank magistrate of Wannan Prefecture, was transferred to Beijing, and now he is a Beijing official, the fourth-rank servant of the household department.
Let’s not mention these for the time being, anyway, everything was on the right track at the time, and it turned out that such a thing really happened, and after listening to what Gu Zhao said, it was not just official words on the surface. Emperor Kang Jing went from being slightly moved to greatly admiring , praised Gu Zhao's scholarly integrity, as it should be.
It means that after reading the book, you should serve the Dali, this is the model.
After that, things went smoothly, and Emperor Kang Jing immediately mentioned Gu Zhaowei as Tanhua, saying that your knowledge is still a little weak, especially this character, so you should go to the Imperial Academy to hone it.
Emperor Kang Jing had been the emperor for so many years, and he was happy to do whatever he wanted. He promoted Gu Zhao's ranking and rewarded him with a hundred taels of silver. He might feel that giving it to one person was too eye-catching, so he gave it to the champion. The general meaning of the words of encouragement is: If you work hard for Dali, I will naturally not treat you badly.
This has also become a good talk.
Afterwards, the three of them rode horses through the streets to go to the banquet in Qujiang. Gu Zhao received a lot of attention because of his appearance, answering questions in front of the palace and being rewarded with silver.
There's no way, Gu Zhao's topic is relatively high, and it's self-contained.
The newly promoted Tanhua Lang is really handsome, but unfortunately he is already married and married.
ah?Tanhualang is a married woman?
So what about being a married woman, the Holy One praised the scholarly integrity.
Gu Zhao briefly explained the situation at the time, and finally said modestly: "So I got a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and I was quite embarrassed and didn't tell my family."
After Li Zhouzhou heard it, even though what Xianggong said was simple, his back was still sweating. If it was true that Xianggong was involved in his family because Xianggong entered into his family, it would be terrible, fortunately, fortunately.I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stop talking, let's eat."
Seeing that Zhou Zhou's face turned pale, Gu Zhao knew that he must have been frightened, so he changed the subject and said that he had dinner, that his family was the host, and he asked his second brother's family to go out to eat, but after he finished speaking, he remembered that something was wrong, and Liu Fulang said Pregnant, he immediately changed his words and said: "In a month or two, our family will come to drink the wedding wine at the second brother's house."
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became relaxed and cheerful.
The Yan family was happy, Grandma Yan told the guests to sit still, wait for a while, and the food was cooked in a while, and asked her son/grandson to greet the guests of the Li family.
The Li family is really the nobles of their Yan family.
Liu Shu puffed out his stomach and said, "Fu Bao is asleep, or put him in my room first, so that he can sleep soundly."
"Okay." Li Zhouzhou carried his son to the main room.
Yan Jinxin took Gu Zhao and Uncle Li to the west house to settle down.
In the second courtyard of Yan's house, there are three main rooms, all of which are spacious enough. The middle is used as the living room of the main room.Yan Jinxin and Liu Shu slept in the east wing, and the next room was Yan Jinxin's study.
The sheep brought by the Li family finally settled down and stayed in the stables as friendly neighbors with the mules.
After dinner, Li's family wanted to look at the house, and they couldn't delay day by day. After all, the Yan's house was not their own. The sun was scorching, and Fu Bao was still confused after drinking milk. Nothing will go wrong.
Li Zhouzhou believed in Liushu.
It would be more convenient for Fu Bao to stay in Yan's house.
"If he cries, bring the lamb over and let him have a look and feel it so he won't cry." Li Zhouzhou also has experience.
Willow patted his chest and said Brother Zhou Zhou, don't worry, Fubao showed you well.
Fubao didn't cry until he went out, Li Zhouzhou felt more at ease, but in fact they walked for about a moment, Fubao looked strange, without father, father and grandpa, and his mouth was watery and he was about to cry. Willow hurriedly said, "Uncle will show you the lamb, so Fubao won't cry, okay?"
Fubao shed tears Doudou.
Liu Shu was in a hurry to hug her, and was scolded by Yan Jingxin. How big is your belly, how do you hug your baby?He carried Fu Bao to the courtyard to look after the lamb. Fu Bao stayed in the uncle's arms, and was even more afraid. What used to be tears was Doudou, but now he was crying.
"Is it because your face is too dark to frighten Fu Bao?"
Willow was anxious in the back, "Fu Bao Fu Bao looks at Uncle, Uncle is not black, look at Uncle..."
But in the end, he stopped crying when he saw the lamb.
I searched for the house for two days. In the afternoon, I went to see the three-entry courtyard of more than 900 taels that Liushu said. It was indeed much more spacious. There was a row of rear-covered rooms at the back. This is for sleeping people. It is on the side of the middle of the main courtyard. There are stables nearby to raise mules and sheep.
Like the yard of Yan’s house, the stables and mule carts have a small corner door on the back side of the main house, and a wall is built to separate them, and the side room is used as a stable.The courtyard with three entrances is more convenient in the back.
Of course, the price is also doubled.There are too many houses, and it is actually inconvenient to pack them up.
Houses that do not live in people have lost their popularity, and they have to be repaired and replaced with tiles after a long time.
"I think Yan's house is very good." Li Da said after looking at Sanjin's yard.The house was too big, even the squire in the town didn't live in such a grand way, he felt flustered when he saw the big yard.
Then look at the second yard.Gu Zhao also had the same idea.
Even if people are added in the future, the inverted room at the front can also be used.
"I clean the mule place every day. I washed it diligently and built a wall again. I don't think it tastes good." Li Da told Zhao'er and Zhou Zhou behind his back.
The guy who just sold the house to them boasted that it was good to enter the courtyard, and he was talking about the convenience of the small courtyard behind.
Just pay half the price for this place, it's not worth it.
Li Zhouzhou wanted to buy it a little closer to the yamen where the minister's office was, so he wanted to look ahead.
But the nearby yard, although it is the second entrance, is small and dilapidated, and the light is not very good. The furniture must be replaced with new ones. I don’t know how long it has been used. The walls are also dirty and dusty.The good house was not in their hands, and it was sold out early on by contacts.
On the contrary, the quality of the yard is much better if it is extended further back.
It may take about a minute to walk with Yan’s house. The yard is also two-entry, but there is a difference between two-entry and two-entry, just like a modern three-bedroom house, a large three-bedroom and a compact small three-bedroom, the fine decoration delivered by the developer and the owner’s The difference between spending a lot of money on fine decoration.
This courtyard is beautiful, and the furniture is rarely used and replaced. It is slightly larger than Yan's courtyard, much more open, and well-decorated. The paint on the porch is new, and it looks like it has only been painted for a short time.
"Why is such a good house empty and no one wants it?" Gu Zhao asked the old man.
The Yamanmao smiled and said: "You don't know, the original owner was originally a seventh-rank official in the capital, but now he is said to be transferred outside to be a fifth-rank official. I didn't know before that the house was renovated. It's selling fast now."
It seems that they have been promoted, but the local officials and Beijing officials are still not as good as they are. If the capital is rich and poor, then the local five ranks will not be changed.
The yard costs a lot, and the second yard is almost as expensive as the third yard next to Yan’s. That one costs 900 taels, and this one costs 700 taels. Of course, there are two more side rooms, and the average price for one is about 40 taels.Yan Jiacai is 23 or [-].
It's still fixed.
The final transaction price was 20 taels cheaper, and it was sold at 680 taels.The following days were about moving and settling down, during which time Zheng Hui's family also arrived.
Unfortunately, I didn't buy it here.
The Hanlin Academy is one lane away from the Imperial Palace, and the Ministry of Rites is not on this side, but on the other side.For the convenience of going to work, Zheng Hui naturally chose the yard that is closest to him first. The Ministry of Rites is free at first glance, and the yamen is far away from the palace, so there are many options for buying a house, and the price is slightly lower.
You can see the difference between hot circle and warm circle.
Zheng Hui also looked at the house, too busy.Gu Zhao then said to wait until the settlement is settled, and now the three of them are in Beijing, and they don't care about meeting and talking overnight.
On September [-]th, the willow tree gave birth and gave birth to a boy.
Li Zhouzhou settled his own house, guessed that Xiaoshu was about to give birth, and the Yan family even invited Mrs. Wen over there, so he went there every day to check on the situation. He had some experience after giving birth, and wanted to give Xiaoshu peace of mind. Let's take it easy.
Who knew that he was going to leave that evening, and Xiaoshu sent him off, but Li Zhouzhou said no, when he was talking, he saw Xiaoshu's pants were wet, and he immediately understood.
He just said why Xiaoshu urged him to leave now.
It took less than two minutes for the willow tree from the amniotic fluid break to the birth. It belonged to the stove and had just boiled hot water and handed it over. The shouts, and the cries of the children, were very loud and resonant.
very smooth.
After giving birth, I can still hear Willow saying that he is hungry and wants to eat meat.
Wen Po hurriedly said that hard meat should not be eaten. It is best to pour some rice soup to flush the stomach and intestines, wait for the dirt to be discharged, and then eat meat after a few days of recuperation.
The willow tree is lying on his face, how many more days will he drink rice soup?
"It's like this." Li Zhouzhou said warmly, "It will be done in about two days."
Two days is two days. Once Liu Shu gritted his teeth and endured it, he now has the energy to look for his son, and let him see what he looks like, don't be so dark--
Then holding and watching the child, I was suddenly unhappy and speechless.
Anyway, the Yan family is lively and fun.
Li Zhouzhou still wanted to laugh when he came back and told his father and husband-in-law, "Actually, it's okay, the child is bright red, and Xiao Shu said it was neither dark nor slippery, so it turned red like a monkey's face."
"Is this how newborns are?" Gu Zhao heard from a worker in the internship unit before.
"Wenpo also said the same thing, and it would be nice if it grew longer. Xiaoshu asked me if Fubao was like this, and I said yes." Li Zhouzhou was a rare liar, so he didn't even look at Xiaoshu. This would be at home, Nian said: "I hope the little baby can grow white and tender."
Otherwise, Xiao Shu would know that he was lying.
Fubao's skin is white from birth.
Gu Zhao wanted to laugh when he heard it, not at Liu Fulang, but because he thought his family Zhou Zhou was cute, and he said that he would pray devoutly, so he said: "I will definitely, the children drink more milk, don't bask in the sun, and raise their children." It will be white when you wake up."
And in fact, Second Brother Yan was not born with black skin.
This is working in the fields, the day after tomorrow the sun is shining, and we go to school together for four or five years. Every July, when the agricultural holiday ends, Second Brother Yan is the darkest when he returns to school. It became white again a few degrees, and then came back slowly.
In addition, Liu Fulang is not black, so the two children should have no black genes, right?
Li Zhouzhou was relieved after hearing what Xianggong said.
After eating and washing, they went back to their respective rooms and went to sleep.
Fu Bao was wearing a one-piece suit with long sleeves and lying on the bed from the head to the end of the bed. Gu Zhao was wearing a bunt, sitting by the bed watching the baby, and teasing Fu Bao with a cloth tiger.
"Call me Daddy—I'll play with you if you call me Daddy." Gu Zhao was always casual at home, and he would confide in everything he said.
Fu Bao crawled quickly on hands and feet, and sat down in front of his father, with two fleshy hands propped up in front of his head, his fleshy face showed a nice rua arc, Gu Zhao couldn't help but wanted to do it, by the way Give the tiger to your son.
What are the conditions? It's just this treasure. Besides, the tiger was also sewn for Fu Bao by Zhou Zhou.
Gu Zhao put the tiger in his son's hands, and by the way rua slapped the fleshy curve, it was really fun.Fu Bao grabbed the tiger, opened his mouth to speak, and drool from his father's hand when he couldn't speak clearly.
"chatter!"
"Good son." Gu Zhao kissed Fu Bao in his arms, and his hands stained with Fu Bao's saliva were not polite, and he smiled and rubbed his son's romper On the belly, it really feels better, "Why are you being polite, aren't you?"
Fu Bao was hugged by his father rua and giggled.
Li Zhouzhou came into the room with goat milk in his hand, and when he saw the father and son playing together, he also had a smile in his eyes.When he gave birth to Fubao, it had been more than half a year since Xianggong went to the capital for the exam. Fubao didn’t know him when he met him. Although he didn’t cry, he didn’t like to play with him. Then he waved his arms, puffed up his face angrily, and spit bubbles at his husband.
At that time, Li Zhouzhou had a fierce face once, but he was soft-hearted and couldn't scare Fu Bao, so he could only teach Fu Bao over and over again that this is his father, the father who loves Fu Bao the most.
How old is Fubao, what do you know?All I know is that when this cheeky guy came back, his father only hugged the cheeky guy, and even kissed the cheeky guy, instead of kissing him.Of course not happy, deliberately mischievous, angry.
Gu Zhao said, "Don't worry, I've been away for half a year, and Fubao doesn't recognize me as normal. We'll have a long time together, so I'll take him to hug him and kiss me as soon as he's appointed."
It is also rare for a man in the village to have a child, but it is rare that at that time, the child eats, drinks, and is still taken care of by the head of the house. He is happy and has free time. He hugs and coaxes the child. That's all.
Li Zhouzhou knows that Xianggong is different from the men in the village, but it is troublesome to take care of the child. Fubao is considered well-behaved, but he will cry when he urinates, and he will cry when he is hungry. At night, if you fall asleep, he will wake up too. cry.
It's not easy anyway.
He just thought, if Fu Bao behaved well, he would hug her father-in-law, take it when he was crying, change diapers and feed him.Unexpectedly, he did it at the beginning, and Xianggong learned from the sidelines. When Fubao urinated for the second time, Xianggong said that he came to change the diaper.
Especially breastfeeding Fubao, my husband loves to do this, saying that if there is milk, he is a mother. If I feed our Fubao, he will definitely remember my kindness and will not have sex with me.
"The milk is ready? I'll feed it, I'll feed it." Gu Zhaojian Zhou Zhou came back, feeding Fubao with milk is beneficial.
Fu Bao, who was playing with a tiger, smelled milk, raised his head, and shouted obediently!Gu Zhao was sitting on his lap with his son in his arms, took the bowl with the other hand, and said, "My dear son, what is your name when Daddy feeds you?"
"Duck!" Fu Bao excitedly slapped his father with his butt.
The bowl in Gu Zhao's hand shook, and Li Zhouzhou went over to take Fu Bao into his arms, so that he could be more stable and let his husband feed Fu Bao.
Fu Bao is obedient when breastfeeding, and the food is delicious.
When I was on the road before, the weather was hot. Adults and children sat in the carriage for more than half a day. Although I wore unlined clothes, I even changed Fubao into a climbing jumpsuit with short sleeves and shorts, but it was also hot. After more than a month , Fubao, who was originally very meaty, has lost weight.
The meaty legs of the lotus root festival are thinner.
Now the face is more rua.
"Let's make it up." Gu Zhao felt sorry for his son.
Fubao drank milk in a gulp.
After the feeding, Gu Zhao burped Fu Bao, calmed down, and then coaxed his son to sleep.
The child fell asleep quickly after eating and drinking, and slept between father and father. Gu Zhao talked to Zhou Zhou through his son, and lowered his voice. I patted it twice to coax him, and asked my husband what to say?
Gu Zhao: ...
Just hurting his son, Gu Zhao, who was the best father in the world with Fu Bao, would grind his teeth, and then changed his voice and said: "I want to order a small bed for Fu Bao outside, he is too old, sleep In the middle, sometimes I was afraid of pressing him down and let him sleep by himself, so the bed was put in our room."
It will be difficult to find a servant for a while, especially for those with children, so you have to choose carefully.
Li Zhouzhou said softly: "No, Fubao can crawl and sit now, in case it falls."
"You still can't believe me? I'll draw a super invincible little bed for Fubao with reinforced railings and make sure he won't turn over!" Gu Zhao assured his wife.
It's good to have children, but the night life between husband and wife is also necessary.
"If you want to make a bed, order two, and give one to Brother Yan's family as well, as a full moon gift for his child." Gu Zhao is still very brotherly.
Li Zhouzhou saw Xianggong's angry appearance, and said with a smile in his eyes.
Xianggong and Fubao are exactly the same, their cheeks are so angry.
Early the next morning, Gu Zhao got up to draw a crib, and went out to find a carpenter to order after the painting was done. In their yard, the entrance was an alley, and walking along the alley, there were various shops around the street. There are everything for sale, after all, the living area.
Of course, prices in the capital are also higher.
Gu Zhao is very familiar with the road, and he ordered a mule carriage here before. There is no way his family has a mule, but it is only a cart for pulling goods. If he goes to work in the morning, he can't sit on the cart—he doesn't mind It's okay, it's still cool.
But whether it’s big or small, it’s not good if someone charges you with a misdemeanor.
Officials wear official uniforms and sit on carts, commuting back and forth to get off work, for the people to watch, is it plausible?
Gu Zhao went to the store, paid the deposit, and made two cribs. The master in the store looked at the drawings and communicated with him, saying that they would be ready in about ten days.Gu Zhao left Brother Yan's address and said that the other one would be sent directly to this family.
When I came back, I still thought, when I was making a bed in Ninh Binh Prefecture, it took about the same time for two beds. The crib is so small, why did it take so much effort?
I didn't think too much about it, maybe there was still a queue ahead.
On the way back, I bought vegetables on the way.
The first door, the right hand is the gatehouse, the left side is a row of inverted houses, the front is the screen wall, turn left, there is a width of six or seven meters between the first door and the second door, and there is a big stove on the top side. The cooking fume is not arranged in the inner yard.
For the rest of the place, Gu Zhao saw that there were people arranging flowers and plants to decorate the house before. His house doesn't have such idle time now, it's just a bare wall, but there are also reliefs on the wall.
The second door is located in the middle, and it is hidden. Go up the steps and step in. It is the place where the owner lives. It is really open. His house covers an area of thousands of square meters. This is the capital city.
Gu Zhao didn't even dare to dream of buying a house in Beijing in modern times, it was too far away.
Now look at this big yard, this area, his son's milk sheep and playmate lamb tied up in the corner of this yard, bleating, how lively and interesting!
Their family has a house in the capital, and they are about to start a new life!
The author has something to say:
The price of the house is based on the house price information extracted from various novels in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties in "Golden Millet Confucianism". For example, Cao Xueqin's grandfather's wife and brother happened during the Yongzheng period. The rooms are about 32 taels, and the cheap ones are about 24 taels. Of course, the entire yard including the stables adds up.Then some readers said that Yan’s house is too cheap, and it’s estimated that the location is far away, but it’s not too far away. In "Awakening Marriage", it is also a house in the capital, and its location is still in Jinyiwei Street. The original words are three or five frontages, two or three stories deep, which is similar to Yan's house, and a house is about [-] taels.
Not too bad.
There is also the Dali Imperial City, which I fabricated based on the Ming and Qing imperial palaces plus the Tang Dynasty Daming Palace [The Dali is fictitious!
The courtyards of the second entrance are roughly like this.
The main house, the wing rooms on the east and west sides, the side rooms on the left and right side of the main room and the wing rooms, plus the porter's room, the inverted room, and the stove room, a total of fifteen rooms. The yard is spacious, and there is no such thing as a viewing garden of dwarf pine in Zheng's house. , it looked like it had been vacant for a long time, and was bought by the Yan family.
"My house is cheap, and there is a stable at the back. A house like this next to it is selling for over 400 taels. My family got a cheap one." Liu Shu mentioned that he felt very happy that his house was a good deal.
Gu Zhao asked his second brother in private what happened.The surrounding area is 400 taels. Looking at your yard, the tile roof and brick walls have all been repaired. There is a hand-painted veranda around, and the house has all the furniture. It should not be cheap.
Their family didn't run for nothing yesterday, at least they knew about the housing prices in the capital.The imperial palace is the center, which radiates into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city cannot be bought by officials, and only the relatives of the emperor can live in it, such as the six adult princes of Emperor Kang Jing, and some princes and the like.
From the beginning of the outer city, the first and second ring roads are divided according to distance, cost, and specifications. The average price of a more expensive room is 80 taels, and a yard with five or six entrances. The total number of large and small rooms cannot exceed 60, plus the cost of the yard and garden. Expensive Taihu stones, etc., cost an average of 6000 taels per yard.
No matter how expensive it is tens of thousands of taels, there are also some.
This is not a room that their petty officials can see.
The current location of the Yan family is really not particularly remote, and the house looks pretty good, there is no reason why it should be so cheap.
"The original owner of the yard was also an official. He was arrested and imprisoned last year, and was beheaded in June this year." Yan Jinxin said.
Gu Zhao: ...
No wonder.
Most of the people who can buy this lot are officials or ancestral houses.Being an official believes in feng shui, and the former owner lost his life when he became an official and was imprisoned. It is definitely unlucky to come to see the house.Just like the small yard rented by his family in Ningping County, the neighbors in the county said that the rent has now risen to 13 taels of silver a year.
Why, the place where Master Jinshi lived, is tainted with Master Gu's luck.
Even if the yard is small, it is still very popular.
"It's an advantage." Gu Zhao believes the good ones, but not the bad ones. He smiled and raised his teacup to touch his second brother, "Let's go up step by step."
Yan Jinxin took a sip with a serious face, clear in his heart, "If it wasn't for Brother Zhao, our family would still be renting a house now. Even if it's so cheap, we can't afford it."
Liu Shu and Brother Zhou Zhou had a good chat, and they twitched their ears when they heard the man say this, and immediately said: "Yes, thank you Brother Zhou Zhou, your husband, my family's silver is only 100 taels including the 270 taels sent by Uncle Li. Two more, it’s still far away, and he didn’t allow me to accept money, but fortunately, he brought back 100 taels, saying that when Long live rewarded your husband, he also rewarded my man, which is enough to buy a house.”
"When Xianggong came back, he brought 100 taels, saying that it was a reward from the sage." Li Zhouzhou was very happy when he took the silver. In the past, said: "I thought I would give it every time, so it didn't?"
Yan Jinxin replied: "No." He also added, "Not all Yi Jia will receive silver rewards."
Gu Zhao: ...
So should I mention it?
Gu Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why did Second Brother Yan not be serious anymore.
"Zhou Zhou, it's not that I lied to you—" Gu Zhaoxian explained to Zhou Zhou, "It's actually quite embarrassing to say that the reward of one hundred taels of silver for the three of them is all because of my misery. "
Yan Jinxin: "Brother Zhao is too modest, I believe you really have lofty ambitions in your heart, the emperor is wise, otherwise he would not have rewarded you with silver and also benefited me and the second place."
"So it's not the top three every time?" Liu Shu also understood now, he wanted to urge the man to speak carefully, but he felt bad, brother Zhou Zhou, the man didn't seem to want to mention it, so he couldn't let him urge him , causing people to lose face.
Gu Zhao saw that everyone in the room was curious, but no one asked him, so he asked him to make it clear, so he smiled, stopped hiding, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. At that time, the palace exam was over, and our group was outside. Wait for the results first, listen to the imperial edict and enter the palace, and the ranking will be given by the holy magistrate..."
Everyone listened carefully, even the elders who didn't understand stopped chatting.Only Fubao was in his father's arms, waving his arms and hands, babbling and talking, his father just patted it lightly, the hall was quiet, and his father's voice was hypnotic, so he slowly closed his eyes Fell asleep.
"Second brother's poems are very good. When he came to the other side, Jinshi also took the school exam to learn. When he came to me, he praised me for looking like a flower."
Yan Jinxin was drinking tea from a teacup beside him, covering the corner of his mouth with a slight smile.
Every time Zhaodi said these words, there was always something funny about them.
Li Zhouzhou also laughed.
"My knowledge is not as solid as before. I originally had a second-class position, and I am already very satisfied." Gu Zhao felt that Emperor Kang Jing didn't really want to give him Tanhua at that time, and promoted him to the first-class list. , It all depends on the aesthetics of the high-ranking person, but it is clear at a glance whether excellent or ordinary is good.
For example, Brother Yan, he is a figure of learning god, the best of the best.
"Then the Holy Majesty asked me how to be a son-in-law, so that I am not afraid of being ridiculed by scholars all over the world?" Gu Zhao didn't mention this, because he was afraid that Zhou Zhou would take it to heart.His family, Zhou Zhou, cared a lot about him. If he didn't make it clear, Zhou Zhou would feel that he was being held back.
Gu Zhao looked over, and sure enough, the smile in Zhou Zhou's eyes paused, even his father was worried about him, worried about his future, Gu Zhao felt warm in his heart, and said with a light smile, "I Say you're not afraid."
Li Zhouzhou was so worried that he almost stood up.
No matter how careless Liu Shu is, he dared not bring up the topic of the emperor lightly when the door was closed in the room. Even if he said it, he asked the man about the door, saying the honorific titles such as Holy Majesty and Long Live.
"I'm afraid I can't serve Dali." Gu Zhao said the original words at that time.
There are various reasons for him to become the son-in-law, the most direct one is that he wanted to continue to take the imperial examinations, but he became the son-in-law of the Li family, and married Zhou Zhou because he fell in love with Zhou Zhou at first sight, and it was also somewhat forced by the situation .
When Fang first came here, if he mentioned that we are not in a hurry to get married and talk about free love for a year and a half, it would be tantamount to finding trouble and implicating the Li family and being scolded by Zhou Zhou.So we can only get married first, and develop relationships later.
He and Zhou Zhou have a good relationship and are very affectionate, and he doesn't feel that being a married woman is inferior to others.
But none of these answers can be brought out at the time. If you say it, your career is half over, and it may even annoy Long Yan.
Ruanfan, no ambition, love brain, etc., can't be reused.
I can only find another way to find a rainbow fart in the cracks and blow it to the emperor.
I'm not afraid that the scholars all over the world will call me insulting and gentle as a married man behind my back, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to serve Dali.
At this time, one sentence is wrong, the emperor can kill you, even if the sage is kind enough to save your life, but you have read books for so many years before, Zhou Zhou and his father worked hard to make money for him, it was all in vain, very Maybe he will become a laughing stock - if he is never hired except for his fame, he will never be able to turn over in this life.
Gu Zhao was walking on thin ice. When Emperor Kang Jing asked that question, his mind was running at high speed, and he forced himself to be calm in his heart, thinking about the worst result, so he could blow flattery in any situation, and he said it with true feelings.
The emperor selects talents, and there are so many Jinshi watching in the hall. Of course, it is impossible to just chat with you and ask why it is so simple to marry you. Even if the emperor asks a simple question, your answer should rise. Don’t stick to personal feelings and magnify it , stand still.
"Gu Zhao grew up in the countryside. He knew that he was incompetent and thoughtless. He was once criticized. Thanks to the Li family's acceptance, he allowed Gu Zhao to study. Although Gu Zhao was small and weak, his ability to read and write was as stated in the book. The man has ambitions everywhere, and he must serve the country, even if it is a brick or a tile, as long as it can be used in Gu Zhao's place, Gu Zhao is willing to go there and be a small cornerstone of the Dali..."
Then he talked about the fertilizer method he figured out when he was at home in the village. This fertilizer method is filthy and is looked down upon by others. It may bring a good harvest to the villagers in the village, just like he is a son-in-law. Someone said behind his back He lost his reputation as a scholar, but only after reading a book can he show his ambition and do practical things for Dali.
These words are a bit blunt, but they are very suitable for Gu Zhao's poor background, coupled with his sincere and sincere heart.
Anyway, Emperor Kang Jing was a little moved when he heard this, and asked what is the way to fertilize the field.
Of course, Gu Zhao would not answer in detail, saying that excrement and urine would pollute the eyes and ears of the Holy Majesty, what he said was that the harvest in the field was good, and the amount of an acre of land was used after it was used.He also gave a blow to the Fu Zun who had issued the plaque before, meaning that the Fu Zun knew that it had been promoted.
Emperor Kang Jing looked at Wang Zetian. Wang Zetian had already found out the name of the county magistrate of Gu Jinshi's hometown at that time, and now he passed it directly. Emperor Kang Jing looked at it and remembered it. The note handed over by Fan Min, the magistrate of the state.
At that time, Emperor Kang Jing was on his [-]th birthday, and when he saw the colorful article in this brochure, it said that the world would be peaceful and the grains would be plentiful, and it would be long live to work hard and move the heavens so much——
Emperor Kang Jing had seen many such flattering stories, so he didn't take them seriously at the time.It's just that the time for handing over the paperwork to express merit was good, and the food reported was indeed a little too much, Kang Jingdi Long Xinyue raised a pen and mobilized it for Fan Min.
Now listening to Gu Zhao's words, a series of matchups.
The county magistrate of Ningping County is not just doing nothing.
Emperor Kang Jing didn't show much expression at that time, and asked Fan Min later.
Fan Min, the fifth-rank magistrate of Wannan Prefecture, was transferred to Beijing, and now he is a Beijing official, the fourth-rank servant of the household department.
Let’s not mention these for the time being, anyway, everything was on the right track at the time, and it turned out that such a thing really happened, and after listening to what Gu Zhao said, it was not just official words on the surface. Emperor Kang Jing went from being slightly moved to greatly admiring , praised Gu Zhao's scholarly integrity, as it should be.
It means that after reading the book, you should serve the Dali, this is the model.
After that, things went smoothly, and Emperor Kang Jing immediately mentioned Gu Zhaowei as Tanhua, saying that your knowledge is still a little weak, especially this character, so you should go to the Imperial Academy to hone it.
Emperor Kang Jing had been the emperor for so many years, and he was happy to do whatever he wanted. He promoted Gu Zhao's ranking and rewarded him with a hundred taels of silver. He might feel that giving it to one person was too eye-catching, so he gave it to the champion. The general meaning of the words of encouragement is: If you work hard for Dali, I will naturally not treat you badly.
This has also become a good talk.
Afterwards, the three of them rode horses through the streets to go to the banquet in Qujiang. Gu Zhao received a lot of attention because of his appearance, answering questions in front of the palace and being rewarded with silver.
There's no way, Gu Zhao's topic is relatively high, and it's self-contained.
The newly promoted Tanhua Lang is really handsome, but unfortunately he is already married and married.
ah?Tanhualang is a married woman?
So what about being a married woman, the Holy One praised the scholarly integrity.
Gu Zhao briefly explained the situation at the time, and finally said modestly: "So I got a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and I was quite embarrassed and didn't tell my family."
After Li Zhouzhou heard it, even though what Xianggong said was simple, his back was still sweating. If it was true that Xianggong was involved in his family because Xianggong entered into his family, it would be terrible, fortunately, fortunately.I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stop talking, let's eat."
Seeing that Zhou Zhou's face turned pale, Gu Zhao knew that he must have been frightened, so he changed the subject and said that he had dinner, that his family was the host, and he asked his second brother's family to go out to eat, but after he finished speaking, he remembered that something was wrong, and Liu Fulang said Pregnant, he immediately changed his words and said: "In a month or two, our family will come to drink the wedding wine at the second brother's house."
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became relaxed and cheerful.
The Yan family was happy, Grandma Yan told the guests to sit still, wait for a while, and the food was cooked in a while, and asked her son/grandson to greet the guests of the Li family.
The Li family is really the nobles of their Yan family.
Liu Shu puffed out his stomach and said, "Fu Bao is asleep, or put him in my room first, so that he can sleep soundly."
"Okay." Li Zhouzhou carried his son to the main room.
Yan Jinxin took Gu Zhao and Uncle Li to the west house to settle down.
In the second courtyard of Yan's house, there are three main rooms, all of which are spacious enough. The middle is used as the living room of the main room.Yan Jinxin and Liu Shu slept in the east wing, and the next room was Yan Jinxin's study.
The sheep brought by the Li family finally settled down and stayed in the stables as friendly neighbors with the mules.
After dinner, Li's family wanted to look at the house, and they couldn't delay day by day. After all, the Yan's house was not their own. The sun was scorching, and Fu Bao was still confused after drinking milk. Nothing will go wrong.
Li Zhouzhou believed in Liushu.
It would be more convenient for Fu Bao to stay in Yan's house.
"If he cries, bring the lamb over and let him have a look and feel it so he won't cry." Li Zhouzhou also has experience.
Willow patted his chest and said Brother Zhou Zhou, don't worry, Fubao showed you well.
Fubao didn't cry until he went out, Li Zhouzhou felt more at ease, but in fact they walked for about a moment, Fubao looked strange, without father, father and grandpa, and his mouth was watery and he was about to cry. Willow hurriedly said, "Uncle will show you the lamb, so Fubao won't cry, okay?"
Fubao shed tears Doudou.
Liu Shu was in a hurry to hug her, and was scolded by Yan Jingxin. How big is your belly, how do you hug your baby?He carried Fu Bao to the courtyard to look after the lamb. Fu Bao stayed in the uncle's arms, and was even more afraid. What used to be tears was Doudou, but now he was crying.
"Is it because your face is too dark to frighten Fu Bao?"
Willow was anxious in the back, "Fu Bao Fu Bao looks at Uncle, Uncle is not black, look at Uncle..."
But in the end, he stopped crying when he saw the lamb.
I searched for the house for two days. In the afternoon, I went to see the three-entry courtyard of more than 900 taels that Liushu said. It was indeed much more spacious. There was a row of rear-covered rooms at the back. This is for sleeping people. It is on the side of the middle of the main courtyard. There are stables nearby to raise mules and sheep.
Like the yard of Yan’s house, the stables and mule carts have a small corner door on the back side of the main house, and a wall is built to separate them, and the side room is used as a stable.The courtyard with three entrances is more convenient in the back.
Of course, the price is also doubled.There are too many houses, and it is actually inconvenient to pack them up.
Houses that do not live in people have lost their popularity, and they have to be repaired and replaced with tiles after a long time.
"I think Yan's house is very good." Li Da said after looking at Sanjin's yard.The house was too big, even the squire in the town didn't live in such a grand way, he felt flustered when he saw the big yard.
Then look at the second yard.Gu Zhao also had the same idea.
Even if people are added in the future, the inverted room at the front can also be used.
"I clean the mule place every day. I washed it diligently and built a wall again. I don't think it tastes good." Li Da told Zhao'er and Zhou Zhou behind his back.
The guy who just sold the house to them boasted that it was good to enter the courtyard, and he was talking about the convenience of the small courtyard behind.
Just pay half the price for this place, it's not worth it.
Li Zhouzhou wanted to buy it a little closer to the yamen where the minister's office was, so he wanted to look ahead.
But the nearby yard, although it is the second entrance, is small and dilapidated, and the light is not very good. The furniture must be replaced with new ones. I don’t know how long it has been used. The walls are also dirty and dusty.The good house was not in their hands, and it was sold out early on by contacts.
On the contrary, the quality of the yard is much better if it is extended further back.
It may take about a minute to walk with Yan’s house. The yard is also two-entry, but there is a difference between two-entry and two-entry, just like a modern three-bedroom house, a large three-bedroom and a compact small three-bedroom, the fine decoration delivered by the developer and the owner’s The difference between spending a lot of money on fine decoration.
This courtyard is beautiful, and the furniture is rarely used and replaced. It is slightly larger than Yan's courtyard, much more open, and well-decorated. The paint on the porch is new, and it looks like it has only been painted for a short time.
"Why is such a good house empty and no one wants it?" Gu Zhao asked the old man.
The Yamanmao smiled and said: "You don't know, the original owner was originally a seventh-rank official in the capital, but now he is said to be transferred outside to be a fifth-rank official. I didn't know before that the house was renovated. It's selling fast now."
It seems that they have been promoted, but the local officials and Beijing officials are still not as good as they are. If the capital is rich and poor, then the local five ranks will not be changed.
The yard costs a lot, and the second yard is almost as expensive as the third yard next to Yan’s. That one costs 900 taels, and this one costs 700 taels. Of course, there are two more side rooms, and the average price for one is about 40 taels.Yan Jiacai is 23 or [-].
It's still fixed.
The final transaction price was 20 taels cheaper, and it was sold at 680 taels.The following days were about moving and settling down, during which time Zheng Hui's family also arrived.
Unfortunately, I didn't buy it here.
The Hanlin Academy is one lane away from the Imperial Palace, and the Ministry of Rites is not on this side, but on the other side.For the convenience of going to work, Zheng Hui naturally chose the yard that is closest to him first. The Ministry of Rites is free at first glance, and the yamen is far away from the palace, so there are many options for buying a house, and the price is slightly lower.
You can see the difference between hot circle and warm circle.
Zheng Hui also looked at the house, too busy.Gu Zhao then said to wait until the settlement is settled, and now the three of them are in Beijing, and they don't care about meeting and talking overnight.
On September [-]th, the willow tree gave birth and gave birth to a boy.
Li Zhouzhou settled his own house, guessed that Xiaoshu was about to give birth, and the Yan family even invited Mrs. Wen over there, so he went there every day to check on the situation. He had some experience after giving birth, and wanted to give Xiaoshu peace of mind. Let's take it easy.
Who knew that he was going to leave that evening, and Xiaoshu sent him off, but Li Zhouzhou said no, when he was talking, he saw Xiaoshu's pants were wet, and he immediately understood.
He just said why Xiaoshu urged him to leave now.
It took less than two minutes for the willow tree from the amniotic fluid break to the birth. It belonged to the stove and had just boiled hot water and handed it over. The shouts, and the cries of the children, were very loud and resonant.
very smooth.
After giving birth, I can still hear Willow saying that he is hungry and wants to eat meat.
Wen Po hurriedly said that hard meat should not be eaten. It is best to pour some rice soup to flush the stomach and intestines, wait for the dirt to be discharged, and then eat meat after a few days of recuperation.
The willow tree is lying on his face, how many more days will he drink rice soup?
"It's like this." Li Zhouzhou said warmly, "It will be done in about two days."
Two days is two days. Once Liu Shu gritted his teeth and endured it, he now has the energy to look for his son, and let him see what he looks like, don't be so dark--
Then holding and watching the child, I was suddenly unhappy and speechless.
Anyway, the Yan family is lively and fun.
Li Zhouzhou still wanted to laugh when he came back and told his father and husband-in-law, "Actually, it's okay, the child is bright red, and Xiao Shu said it was neither dark nor slippery, so it turned red like a monkey's face."
"Is this how newborns are?" Gu Zhao heard from a worker in the internship unit before.
"Wenpo also said the same thing, and it would be nice if it grew longer. Xiaoshu asked me if Fubao was like this, and I said yes." Li Zhouzhou was a rare liar, so he didn't even look at Xiaoshu. This would be at home, Nian said: "I hope the little baby can grow white and tender."
Otherwise, Xiao Shu would know that he was lying.
Fubao's skin is white from birth.
Gu Zhao wanted to laugh when he heard it, not at Liu Fulang, but because he thought his family Zhou Zhou was cute, and he said that he would pray devoutly, so he said: "I will definitely, the children drink more milk, don't bask in the sun, and raise their children." It will be white when you wake up."
And in fact, Second Brother Yan was not born with black skin.
This is working in the fields, the day after tomorrow the sun is shining, and we go to school together for four or five years. Every July, when the agricultural holiday ends, Second Brother Yan is the darkest when he returns to school. It became white again a few degrees, and then came back slowly.
In addition, Liu Fulang is not black, so the two children should have no black genes, right?
Li Zhouzhou was relieved after hearing what Xianggong said.
After eating and washing, they went back to their respective rooms and went to sleep.
Fu Bao was wearing a one-piece suit with long sleeves and lying on the bed from the head to the end of the bed. Gu Zhao was wearing a bunt, sitting by the bed watching the baby, and teasing Fu Bao with a cloth tiger.
"Call me Daddy—I'll play with you if you call me Daddy." Gu Zhao was always casual at home, and he would confide in everything he said.
Fu Bao crawled quickly on hands and feet, and sat down in front of his father, with two fleshy hands propped up in front of his head, his fleshy face showed a nice rua arc, Gu Zhao couldn't help but wanted to do it, by the way Give the tiger to your son.
What are the conditions? It's just this treasure. Besides, the tiger was also sewn for Fu Bao by Zhou Zhou.
Gu Zhao put the tiger in his son's hands, and by the way rua slapped the fleshy curve, it was really fun.Fu Bao grabbed the tiger, opened his mouth to speak, and drool from his father's hand when he couldn't speak clearly.
"chatter!"
"Good son." Gu Zhao kissed Fu Bao in his arms, and his hands stained with Fu Bao's saliva were not polite, and he smiled and rubbed his son's romper On the belly, it really feels better, "Why are you being polite, aren't you?"
Fu Bao was hugged by his father rua and giggled.
Li Zhouzhou came into the room with goat milk in his hand, and when he saw the father and son playing together, he also had a smile in his eyes.When he gave birth to Fubao, it had been more than half a year since Xianggong went to the capital for the exam. Fubao didn’t know him when he met him. Although he didn’t cry, he didn’t like to play with him. Then he waved his arms, puffed up his face angrily, and spit bubbles at his husband.
At that time, Li Zhouzhou had a fierce face once, but he was soft-hearted and couldn't scare Fu Bao, so he could only teach Fu Bao over and over again that this is his father, the father who loves Fu Bao the most.
How old is Fubao, what do you know?All I know is that when this cheeky guy came back, his father only hugged the cheeky guy, and even kissed the cheeky guy, instead of kissing him.Of course not happy, deliberately mischievous, angry.
Gu Zhao said, "Don't worry, I've been away for half a year, and Fubao doesn't recognize me as normal. We'll have a long time together, so I'll take him to hug him and kiss me as soon as he's appointed."
It is also rare for a man in the village to have a child, but it is rare that at that time, the child eats, drinks, and is still taken care of by the head of the house. He is happy and has free time. He hugs and coaxes the child. That's all.
Li Zhouzhou knows that Xianggong is different from the men in the village, but it is troublesome to take care of the child. Fubao is considered well-behaved, but he will cry when he urinates, and he will cry when he is hungry. At night, if you fall asleep, he will wake up too. cry.
It's not easy anyway.
He just thought, if Fu Bao behaved well, he would hug her father-in-law, take it when he was crying, change diapers and feed him.Unexpectedly, he did it at the beginning, and Xianggong learned from the sidelines. When Fubao urinated for the second time, Xianggong said that he came to change the diaper.
Especially breastfeeding Fubao, my husband loves to do this, saying that if there is milk, he is a mother. If I feed our Fubao, he will definitely remember my kindness and will not have sex with me.
"The milk is ready? I'll feed it, I'll feed it." Gu Zhaojian Zhou Zhou came back, feeding Fubao with milk is beneficial.
Fu Bao, who was playing with a tiger, smelled milk, raised his head, and shouted obediently!Gu Zhao was sitting on his lap with his son in his arms, took the bowl with the other hand, and said, "My dear son, what is your name when Daddy feeds you?"
"Duck!" Fu Bao excitedly slapped his father with his butt.
The bowl in Gu Zhao's hand shook, and Li Zhouzhou went over to take Fu Bao into his arms, so that he could be more stable and let his husband feed Fu Bao.
Fu Bao is obedient when breastfeeding, and the food is delicious.
When I was on the road before, the weather was hot. Adults and children sat in the carriage for more than half a day. Although I wore unlined clothes, I even changed Fubao into a climbing jumpsuit with short sleeves and shorts, but it was also hot. After more than a month , Fubao, who was originally very meaty, has lost weight.
The meaty legs of the lotus root festival are thinner.
Now the face is more rua.
"Let's make it up." Gu Zhao felt sorry for his son.
Fubao drank milk in a gulp.
After the feeding, Gu Zhao burped Fu Bao, calmed down, and then coaxed his son to sleep.
The child fell asleep quickly after eating and drinking, and slept between father and father. Gu Zhao talked to Zhou Zhou through his son, and lowered his voice. I patted it twice to coax him, and asked my husband what to say?
Gu Zhao: ...
Just hurting his son, Gu Zhao, who was the best father in the world with Fu Bao, would grind his teeth, and then changed his voice and said: "I want to order a small bed for Fu Bao outside, he is too old, sleep In the middle, sometimes I was afraid of pressing him down and let him sleep by himself, so the bed was put in our room."
It will be difficult to find a servant for a while, especially for those with children, so you have to choose carefully.
Li Zhouzhou said softly: "No, Fubao can crawl and sit now, in case it falls."
"You still can't believe me? I'll draw a super invincible little bed for Fubao with reinforced railings and make sure he won't turn over!" Gu Zhao assured his wife.
It's good to have children, but the night life between husband and wife is also necessary.
"If you want to make a bed, order two, and give one to Brother Yan's family as well, as a full moon gift for his child." Gu Zhao is still very brotherly.
Li Zhouzhou saw Xianggong's angry appearance, and said with a smile in his eyes.
Xianggong and Fubao are exactly the same, their cheeks are so angry.
Early the next morning, Gu Zhao got up to draw a crib, and went out to find a carpenter to order after the painting was done. In their yard, the entrance was an alley, and walking along the alley, there were various shops around the street. There are everything for sale, after all, the living area.
Of course, prices in the capital are also higher.
Gu Zhao is very familiar with the road, and he ordered a mule carriage here before. There is no way his family has a mule, but it is only a cart for pulling goods. If he goes to work in the morning, he can't sit on the cart—he doesn't mind It's okay, it's still cool.
But whether it’s big or small, it’s not good if someone charges you with a misdemeanor.
Officials wear official uniforms and sit on carts, commuting back and forth to get off work, for the people to watch, is it plausible?
Gu Zhao went to the store, paid the deposit, and made two cribs. The master in the store looked at the drawings and communicated with him, saying that they would be ready in about ten days.Gu Zhao left Brother Yan's address and said that the other one would be sent directly to this family.
When I came back, I still thought, when I was making a bed in Ninh Binh Prefecture, it took about the same time for two beds. The crib is so small, why did it take so much effort?
I didn't think too much about it, maybe there was still a queue ahead.
On the way back, I bought vegetables on the way.
The first door, the right hand is the gatehouse, the left side is a row of inverted houses, the front is the screen wall, turn left, there is a width of six or seven meters between the first door and the second door, and there is a big stove on the top side. The cooking fume is not arranged in the inner yard.
For the rest of the place, Gu Zhao saw that there were people arranging flowers and plants to decorate the house before. His house doesn't have such idle time now, it's just a bare wall, but there are also reliefs on the wall.
The second door is located in the middle, and it is hidden. Go up the steps and step in. It is the place where the owner lives. It is really open. His house covers an area of thousands of square meters. This is the capital city.
Gu Zhao didn't even dare to dream of buying a house in Beijing in modern times, it was too far away.
Now look at this big yard, this area, his son's milk sheep and playmate lamb tied up in the corner of this yard, bleating, how lively and interesting!
Their family has a house in the capital, and they are about to start a new life!
The author has something to say:
The price of the house is based on the house price information extracted from various novels in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties in "Golden Millet Confucianism". For example, Cao Xueqin's grandfather's wife and brother happened during the Yongzheng period. The rooms are about 32 taels, and the cheap ones are about 24 taels. Of course, the entire yard including the stables adds up.Then some readers said that Yan’s house is too cheap, and it’s estimated that the location is far away, but it’s not too far away. In "Awakening Marriage", it is also a house in the capital, and its location is still in Jinyiwei Street. The original words are three or five frontages, two or three stories deep, which is similar to Yan's house, and a house is about [-] taels.
Not too bad.
There is also the Dali Imperial City, which I fabricated based on the Ming and Qing imperial palaces plus the Tang Dynasty Daming Palace [The Dali is fictitious!
