Wen Family Has a Wife

Chen Ningya was still feeling sorry for their suffering, but Li Shi said excitedly: Although the journey was hard, we didn't suffer much. Your housekeeper always thought about us, and often made ginger tea for us on the way, but we didn't. How to put sugar, your ginger tea is good, with sugar added, it is spicy and sweet, and it is comfortable to drink!

Chen Ningya was dumbfounded by Li Shi's words, and coaxed with a good temper: If you like it, I will ask my servants to cook it for you every day, and I will heat it in your room, and you can drink it whenever you want!

Mrs. Li was not polite to Chen Ningya, and responded straightforwardly.

Chen Ningya smiled and asked Sun Baoer: Is the road hard?

It's not hard. The eleven-year-old girl is thin and thin, with big and bright eyes, and she speaks old-fashioned words in a serious manner, which makes people feel distressed.

Chen Ningya smiled softly, touched her head, and then asked: Bao'er and grandma come here so rarely, can you tell my aunt about the village affairs later? What do you want to eat? Tell sister Lan Si , she went down to make arrangements, just tell me what you want to eat, you're welcome.

Sun Baoer nodded reservedly, looked at Hanxiao at her blue silk, and said crisply: I ate buns, pancakes and steamed buns all the way with my grandmother, and now I want to drink porridge, any kind of porridge is fine.

Lan Si pursed her lips and smiled, It's easy to drink porridge. It just so happened that Dizhou sent a large number of fresh seafood, and the servant asked the kitchen to make you seafood and lean meat porridge with green rice, and prepare some side dishes. Is it possible?

Okay! Sun Baoer responded with a smile, and she could tell how happy this girl was from her voice.

Li Shi and Chen Ningya also laughed.

Chen Ningya looked at the sky outside and said to Li Shi and the others: Auntie, why don't you and Bao'er go back and take a hot bath to feel better before eating?

Mrs. Li nodded casually, I can arrange it any way I want, by the way, what about Youshan? Is he not here?

Chen Ningya shook her head amusedly, It's almost Chinese New Year, he has a lot of entertainment, and he needs to take care of business matters. Now Yuan Liang has been reassigned to the Hanlin Academy to work with my eldest son-in-law. The month is getting older, energy is limited, and Yuan Hong is in Dizhou again. The second child's family is busy enough to take care of the two children and the general affairs of the house, and he can't take care of others. After messing with a girl, I can't even solve my own troubles, we! We still can't enjoy the happiness!

Mrs. Li glanced at her jokingly, You guys just love to worry! Otherwise, someday you won't be able to enjoy happiness!

Chen Ningya covered her face and smiled lightly, Auntie, I can't say any more, or you'll be in a hurry with me, so you and Bao'er go wash up first, and when you're done, Youshan and my sister-in-law will come over , just in time for everyone to sit down and have a good talk.”

Mrs. Li immediately stood up when she heard the words, I'm going now! By the way, where is my luggage? My clothes and Bao'er's clothes are still inside!

Speaking of clothes, Chen Ningya hurriedly said: Auntie, all your things have been delivered to the yard where you live! But you should keep those clothes and don't wear them. I have prepared new clothes for you, so don't rush to refuse them. , my natal family is in Zhuya, and you probably know that there is a plant called cotton planted on Zhuya, which can be used for weaving and filling clothes. Jacket, don’t tell me, it’s really different. This thing was originally a tribute to the empress from Lingnan, and some were sent to me, so you can try it too.”

When Mrs. Li heard that it was a tribute item, she shook her head in shock, No, no, we are ordinary people. We can wear our own clothes. Besides, this thing is expensive, and it would be a waste to give it to us!

Mrs. Li resolutely refused, and Lan Ling, who was standing beside Chen Ningya, hurriedly smiled and said, Mrs. Sun, this thing is expensive outside, but it's not impossible to buy it. Lingnan only made it this year. Yes, the reason why I sent Daqi is to make money with this thing,

If the empress wears it first, the people below will definitely follow suit, and the value of cotton-padded clothes will go up.

So there are so many sent from Lingnan, if our wife is allowed to wear them, I'm afraid they won't be able to wear them all in ten years.

You know so much! Mrs. Li was stunned, she didn't expect that such a small maid in the capital could say such words that sounded like a cloud to her.

Lan Ling pursed her lips and snickered again, Old Madam Sun, don't praise your servants, your servants don't understand, I only remembered it after listening to Madam say it a few times with Madam.

That's amazing. Li praised sincerely, thinking that her granddaughter didn't understand anything and was worse than a maid, and immediately became worried.

Chen Ningya laughed and said: Auntie, don't be polite to me. If you wear this clothes back, you can use it to create momentum for my natal family, otherwise people won't even know what cotton clothes are!

Hey! If you say that, I'm helping you by wearing your clothes! Mrs. Li had a funny face.

Chen Ningya nodded seriously.

Li had no choice but to agree.

The grandparent and grandson followed Lan Ling to the guest house to wash up. Before they came, Wen Youshan, Wen's mother and son had already arrived.

Wen's was obviously very excited, and pulled Chen Ningya to ask: A Ning, is Aunt Sun really here? She's already very old! It's freezing cold, why did you come to the capital?

That's not right! My aunt is almost over sixty! Chen Ningya counted, and there are not many people who live to sixty or seventy these days, Li's age can really be said to be a long life!

Wen was stunned for a moment, then sat down with emotion, Yes! It's been so many years! People always get old!

Wen Youshan couldn't hear such sad words, so he said in a rough voice, So what about being old? Auntie is in good spirits, with quick legs and feet, and looks like she is in her forties. If you don't believe me, take a look.

Wen shi nodded heavily, looking forward to Li shi's appearance even more.

Li Shi and Sun Bao'er had a comfortable bath, and changed into the cotton clothes and trousers that Chen Ningya had prepared for them. They had never worn these before, so they delayed a lot of time until they came over.

When everyone saw it, their eyes lit up.

Mrs. Li's cotton-padded clothes and trousers are maroon embroidered with golden patterns of fortune, wealth and longevity. It looks festive, and her freshly washed hair is neatly combed. There is a golden hairpin pinned to it. She looks like an old lady from a rich family, Bao'er She also wears cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but it is in the pink plum blossom style, which makes her face much whiter. There are two pearl flowers on a pair of double buns, which look youthful and beautiful, adding a lot to this gloomy winter day. color.

Wen stood up excitedly and shouted, Auntie!

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the room, she noticed Mrs. Wen, but Mrs. Wen was disfigured, half of her face was covered by her, Mrs. Li didn't dare to recognize her for a while, when she heard Mrs. Wen calling her, tears burst out of Mrs. Li's eyes, Xiaoya? It's Xiaoya, right?

Wen stepped forward and took Li's hand, nodded with tears in his eyes, It's me!
