Chapter 671 Staring (Part 2) 671
Perhaps this child was not easy to come by. Not only was Yingying's full moon ceremony a lively event, but Xu Siyu also had to rush back from Le'an after a long journey.
Holding his daughter who looked like a glutinous rice dumpling, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.
Very beautiful, right? The eleventh mother walked over and gently touched the child's black hair. He was also very well-behaved. He would sleep when he was full, and would whisper when he was hungry and had a bowel movement. The second sister-in-law said, it's like you when you were a child.
Xu Sizhen grinned and carefully handed the sleeping child to the nurse.
When I was a kid, Brother Jin pulled on Shi Yi Niang’s sleeve.
When you were a child, you would cry loudly when things didn't go your way. The eleventh mother hugged her son's shoulders and made us cry until our heads hurt. We don't know how naughty you are.
Brother Jin's eyes widened: "No way, right?" He asked Xu Sizhen, "Second brother, you must have seen me when I was a child. Am I a good boy?"
Xu Siyu laughed happily. Brother Jin looked at Qi Shiniang's ears and said, "Sixth brother has grown so tall, but I still have accomplished nothing. I feel very emotional."
What happened? Xu Siyu rarely said such things, and Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Xu Sichen smiled and said, "I'm pretty good. I couldn't help but scratch my head. I just feel that now that I'm a father, I need to take the provincial examination well next year. Like a friend, he naturally talks to Eleven Niang about what's on his mind."
.
I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Eleven Niang said with a smile, it doesn't matter who is stronger.
Mrs. Xiang personally brought tea in.
Xu Sizhen personally presented it to Eleven Niang.
Just let the little maid do it. Eleven Niang took the tea and told Mrs. Xiang, you are just one month old.
Xiang's eyes and brows are filled with the joy of being a mother: After lying down for a month, moss will grow on her body.
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law chose a name for her eldest daughter, and she was very grateful. She turned around and came in with a plate of snacks: I asked the kitchen to make fresh mung bean cake and lotus seed cake. Mother and Sixth Uncle can try it. How does it taste?
Mung bean cake is Brother Jin's favorite food, while Eleven Niang prefers lotus seed cake.
Yeah, it's delicious. Brother Jin took a bite and it seemed like rock sugar was added to it.
Uncle Liu is really awesome. Mr. Xiang smiled and nodded. Frosted sugar is easy to get angry, so I specially used rock sugar.
Brother Jin obviously admired Xiang's creativity and ate two pieces in a row.
Xu Siyu looked at Brother Jin and laughed, his eyes full of smiles.
I copied a copy of all the articles that I thought were well written and showed them to my father-in-law. When he was talking to Eleven Niang, my father-in-law felt that he was smooth but not sharp enough. He asked me to go to his office and take a look. I discussed it with Mr. Jiang.
After that, I decided to go back to Yanjing to stay for a few days, then go straight to Huguang, and then return to Le'an in the autumn.
Three years ago, Mr. Xiang was promoted to the Chief Envoy of Huguang.
The most important part of the examination is to talk about your views on national affairs in connection with the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics. Instead of building a car at home, it is better to take a walk around.
Eleven Niang nodded slightly.
Brother Jin said from the side: Second brother, are you going to Huguang? I will go to Datong with my father in a few days.
Xu Siyu was a little surprised.
Eleven Niang said with a smile: Your father went to Baoding Prefecture a few years ago. After coming back, he suddenly couldn't stay at home. After the New Year, he said he wanted to go to Datong after Yingying's full moon ceremony. Now that you are back, your father
I definitely won’t leave for a while.
My father has been at home all these years, so it’s okay to go out for a walk. Xu Siyu suddenly understood, smiled and said to brother Jin, you should stay with your father and take good care of his health. Take a closer look, and you will know when you grow up.
How rare is this opportunity?
He didn't know how rare the opportunity was, but he knew how rare it was to take care of his father.
Brother Jin smiled and said: When my father and I were together, I helped him wash his feet and lead the horse. He looked very proud. But as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
This was something my father told me again and again so that my mother wouldn't know.
Mom, he hurriedly explained to Eleven Niang that it was wrong for my father to ask me to learn how to serve others. He also said that what my father meant was that a man should be able to stretch and bend, and to be a little boy, he should also be the best little boy.
, it doesn’t seem right to be a servant that people can’t live without. Mom, I think it’s quite fun.
Okay, okay, Eleven Niang looked at him sweating profusely, feeling funny and angry. I know your father is trying to get on your temper.
Yes, yes, yes. Brother Jin hurriedly said, that’s what dad meant. He said, if I can do small things, I can also do big things.
Xu Siyu looked at Eleven Niang's smiling face and privately told Mrs. Xiang: You must take good care of Yingying. If you are unsure about something, go and ask your mother for advice. My mother is kind-hearted and open-minded. Look at my aunt nǎǎi.
, look at the fifth younger brother’s woman, the most annoying thing is her petty attitude.
Mrs. Xiang nodded repeatedly.
Xu Siyu spent two days visiting his elders.
Fang Ji came after hearing the news: You won’t come to see me when you return to Yanjing.
He is now serving as censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Aren't you afraid of getting involved? Xu Siyu joked.
Fang Ji couldn't help but laugh at San Ran.
He had joined the Marquis of Zhongshan a few days ago. As a result, the Marquis of Zhongshan was dismissed from Fenglu for two years. He also became famous in one battle.
Are you joking? Xu Siyu clenched his fist and hit him gently on the shoulder. I was about to see you. He said, pulling him into the study. I will go to Huguang in two days to tell Fang Ji his plan.
You should have gone out for a walk long ago. Fang Ji agreed. I still have a few colleagues who serve as county magistrates there. You can also go and have a look. He is a man who does what he says, so he immediately asked Xu Siyu to call the maid in.
Momo, I'll write you a few letters right now so that you can come and visit me when the time comes.
Receiving the chief envoy's son-in-law is different from receiving a friend from the same department.
Xu Siyu was overjoyed.
In the next few days, Fang Ji and I went out together, met some famous literary figures in Yanjing, and also met some classics and historians. We gained a lot. It was not until I celebrated the birthday of the Dowager in April that I left for Huguang.
Xu Lingyi then took Brother Jin to Datong.
Eleven Niang was suddenly free.
Xu Sijie stayed with her on days when he didn't go to class.
The color of this gold is already good. It only needs a little polishing to make it shine. Adding gems is just the icing on the cake. Eleven Niang asked a craftsman to renovate her jewelry. Xu Sijie gave her an idea. I think it is better to make it into foil.
Gold, make it into the shape of a peony, wear only one, it is enough to dazzle people. The people on the needlework make autumn clothes, first go to the East Street to see the shops selling Suzhou patterns. The palace also wears a moonlight skirt, outside
People all over the country began to wear three-inch narrow skirts. He also told the little maid that hanging jasmine balls in the tents would be more elegant than orchids and more meaningful than gardenias.
Eleven Niang felt like she was raising a familiar daughter.
How is your homework?
Xu Sijie raised his lips and smiled: Mr. Chang said, let me try next year.
In other words, I learned pretty well
Eleven Niang was happy for him and made the examination curtain for him herself.
Mrs. Jiang saw this and reminded Xu Sizhen: Father and sixth brother are not at home. You should go to your mother's place more often when you have time.
Xu Sizhen has been mysterious these two days. He doesn't know what he is doing. He is often missing.
Isn’t my fifth brother accompanying my mother? He smiled and said, among our brothers, only the fifth brother can talk to my mother about those jewelry and clothes. We couldn’t talk and looked a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but frowned slightly. After thinking about it, she added: "Father, have you written a letter?" I heard from the second sister-in-law that the second uncle wrote a letter to the second sister-in-law, asking the second sister-in-law to write to her father and sixth brother respectively.
I made a pair of máo leather kneepads. I said my father might go directly from Datong to Xuantong and not come back until winter.
Xu Sizhen was a little surprised: I wrote a letter to my father. But his father only said that everything was fine and didn't say anything else. He hesitated and said, "Did you hear wrongly? You are going to give birth in the autumn. What's wrong with my father?"
Maybe he came back in the winter. If my father came back in the winter, my mother should have received the letter a long time ago. When I went to greet my mother this morning, my mother mentioned my father's return journey, but she didn't say anything.
Even her mother didn't know that her second uncle knew about it, which made her worried.
My husband should write another letter to his father. Jiang said, it would be a good idea to ask his father about his diet and daily life these days. Then he asked what he was doing these days. His father was not at home, the Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon, and it was his mother's birthday.
Although there is nothing you can do with your grandmother here, we as children still need to put some thought into it.
Just leave this matter alone. Xu Sichen said with a smile, I had my own plans and went to touch Mrs. Jiang's belly. Our son was naughty or not. There was joy and concern in his eyes.
Jiang was speechless for a moment.
After Xu Sizhen went to Shuangfu Courtyard, he immediately told Yuan Baozhu's family: Find the fox skins that I gave as a dowry. I will make fur hats for my father-in-law and my sixth uncle.
The fourth young nǎǎi, Yuan Baozhu’s family couldn’t help but hesitate, the weather in Yanjing is cold, and it is impossible to live without fur coats. Those fox skins are as white as snow, and they are of a quality that even money cannot buy. You are the direct grandson of the first wife, no
How can a few things packed at the bottom of the box be used instead of touching those fox skins? It is better to quietly go out and buy some good skins. This is Yanjing. We are willing to spend money, but we are afraid that we will not be able to buy good things.
Mrs. Jiang thought that when she was following Eleven Niang to handle housework in the flower hall, Mama Li, who was in charge of the kitchen, tactfully said that the steward in the outer courtyard was not doing well in purchasing these days. Her mother-in-law also said with a smile that the principal had discovered that the steward was in the nursing room.
There was a fire at home. Naturally, there was a lack of supervision over the purchasing these days. The mothers in charge who often walked around the inner and outer courtyards at that time were shocked, as they seemed to have heard of it for the first time.
Although my mother-in-law couldn't hide the disturbances in the inner house or the outer courtyard from her, let alone the matters in the inner courtyard. She shook her head gently, I had good things that I couldn't bear to part with because they were dowry, so I went out to buy things to honor my father-in-law and uncle.
