289. The Emperor's City Tour No. 24(1/2)
He Zijin and A Nian moved back to the He family. He was so happy that he held the girl's hand and kept asking, "Is it better to be a wife or a daughter at home?"
He Zijin's mouth is as sweet as a sweetheart, "It's better to be a granddaughter than a daughter."
Old Madam He giggled and flew up with a squinted eyes. Aunt He smiled and said to Shen, "I wonder if my mother loves Zijin so much. When I was a child, my mother never loved me so much."
Mrs. He said, "You don't know that our girls are so polite in the in-laws. They have to cook for every meal. They also have to give them to their uncles and wives during meals. They all praise her for being sensible." Mrs. He was very proud of her for speaking.
Shen leaned against a big pillow behind her back and stroked her round belly, smiling, "It's certainly different to be a wife. She used to be a niece, but she was a guest when she went there. As a wife, you have to have the eyesight and know how to serve her parents-in-law."
Mrs. He also said, "That's not the case, it's better."
After praising her own girl, Mrs. He asked her, "The emperor and the princess are rewarding you with jade pendants, hurry up and take them out for us to see."
He Zijin asked the monkey to go over and take it. He said to her, "You have to pack up such a treasure."
"Don't worry." He Zijin took a pie from his waist and gave it to He's mother, "This is the pair given by His Majesty. I'll bring one, and A Nian bring one."
Mrs. He held it in her hand and rubbed it carefully, and praised it, "It's so moist. When you touch it in your hand, it's like you're touching lard."
"It should be said that mutton fat is mutton fat jade." He Zijin said along the way.
Old lady He handed it to Aunt He and Shen again, and said, "Look at it, it's really a treasure."
Of course, both of them agreed that the emperor gave it to you, so there was no bad place.
When the ball took the mandarin duck pendant, everyone opened their eyes again. The mandarin duck feathers were colorful. The pair of mandarin duck pendants were from some strange stones. They were actually five colors. They were combined into one place. They were a pair of colorful mandarin ducks lying on their necks. The colorful and shiny appearance made Old Madam He scream, and her pair of squinting eyes stared straight, "Oh my god, there are such treasures in the world!"
Aunt He and Shen also found it very rare. He Zijin said, "I have seen better ones from Master Chaoyun. The ones that Master Chaoyun uses to make paperweights are such a large jade brick."
Mrs. He said straight, "Why haven't you told me?"
"What do you say about this? That's Master Chaoyun's thing. You think that the Crown Princess is Master Chaoyun's niece, and must have many treasures. It's a bit strange to us. This pair of mandarin duck pendants may be ordinary in the eyes of the Crown Princess." He Zijin said.
"This makes sense," said He, "I heard from the servants of the Zhao family that the toilets used in the emperor's palace were made of gold. Someone who poured the emperor's night fragrance, scraped gold from the toilet wall every day, and later she turned into a wealthy family."
He Zijin smiled and said, "Listen to the nonsense of the Zhao family."
Mrs. He said, "I think it's nonsense. His family has never seen the emperor before. How can they know about the toilet in the emperor's house?" Speaking of the Zhao family, Mrs. He asked, "Girl, I just heard that his family was arrested. Do you know what's going on?"
He Zijin shook his head, "I don't know. My uncle said he was in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and even the prodigal son of the Li family was in the prison."
Mrs. He gave an evaluation, "It's time!"
He Zijin felt that her life after marriage was no different from before marriage, except for the change of the house she lived in.
But A Nian felt that his life had changed a lot.
How great is that when I go to bed every night, Sister Zijin talks, and now A Nian doesn’t eat midnight snack with A Lie. Although Sister Zijin is ready for everyone to eat now, A Nian asks to bring her midnight snack with Sister Zijin back to eat. However, A Nian’s wish failed because Brother A Liejun ran away with her bowl and Sister Zijin’s house to have midnight snack together.
Fortunately, the two brothers-in-law would not ask to live in his and sister Zijin's house. A Nian would say love words with sister Zijin every day, such as, "When I was a child, sister Zijin praised me for having a good butt."
Sister Zijin:...
A Nian also asked, "Sister Zijin, you didn't fall in love with me at that time, right?"
Sister Zijin, "Stop talking nonsense. As long as it is a child's butt, I like to touch it very much. It is ripe and soft, like a cooked cake that has just been out of the pot."
"Well, although I'm old now, Sister Zijin, do you want to touch it again?"
Sister Zijin:...
"Do you want to touch it?" A Nian started to twitch.
"I'm embarrassed to have an old ghost."
A Nian: Every time I want the old ghost to die again.
Lao Gui: When I like to see it, I am afraid of having needle holes.
The old ghost was unable to get needles, and A Nian's life was sweet. By the beginning of June, A Luo returned to the imperial capital and talked about his hometown, but did not live in the He family anymore. A Luo rented a low-rent house from the court and moved out. Although He thought that A Luo was fine even if he lived in the house, he thought that He Luo was also an official, which was different from the time he came to the imperial capital for the exam. Moreover, He Luo said, "There are days for family leave. The Hanlin mission did not dare to delay, so I went back first. I cleaned up the house and stayed for a few days. My grandmother and the others arrived. Jie Shi came to talk to the third grandmother."
Mrs. He smiled, "That's great."
A Nian and He Gong went to Hanlin to work as a job. It was a coincidence that their father-in-law and son-in-law had just gone to work as a job, and Shen started here. Fortunately, he had invited the midwife to take her home to live.
After hearing the letter, Mrs. Shen hurried to see her daughter, but her psychological quality was obviously not as good as Mrs. He. When she heard the girl's suppressed pain, Mrs. Shen couldn't do it for now. Her face turned pale and sweated. That look, Mrs. He hurriedly said to Jiang, "Hurry up, help your mother-in-law back. Don't panic. It's just now, and it's going to take a while. The midwife has seen it and said that the fetal position is in the right place."
Jiang was also afraid that his mother-in-law would be scared, so he hurriedly persuaded him to help her go back.
Mrs. He sat in the main courtyard, and by noon, Shen gave birth to a son.
Old Madam He was overjoyed and asked Madam Yu to give her midwife a big red envelope. She said to Aunt He, "Looking at your brother and sister's belly, I thought she was a girl, but I didn't want to be a son again! Oh, this imperial capital has good feng shui!"
Seeing that the red envelope was rich, the midwife began to flatter her with her eyes and smiled in her arms, "Not only is the feng shui of the imperial capital good, but also the blessings of your family are also prosperous! Tanhua's family is not ordinary! Your little brother is born in such a good day and has enough yang energy and will have great prospects in the future!" He even made Mrs. He laugh.
He Zijin went to see her mother. Shen's face turned pale and she was a little tired, but she was in great spirits. She also asked, "How about your brother?"
"Grandmother is holding her and wearing a slight red look, with a layer of red skin." He Zijin feeds her mother rice porridge.
Shen then felt relieved and said, "It's good to have red. When the child is born, he will be clean."
After a while, Mrs. He brought her three grandson to her wife and smiled, "It's exactly five pounds and six ounces. Look, what a well-behaved child! Take a rest, I'll feed the child some sugar water."
Shen nodded and ate a bowl of rice porridge. Shen was a little tired and fell asleep first.
When He Gong'a came back, he felt a little happy again.
Mrs. He said to her son with emotion, "Our He family is truly prosperous. Beating your grandfather and your father to you is a single pass. Your wife is a hero of our family. She gave birth to A Lie at first, so she can be worthy of our family. Later, she gave birth to Brother Jun, and I chanted Buddha's name in my heart. Now that I have given birth to Sanbao'er, it seems that our family is really prosperous! Hurry up, burn incense for your father, and talk to the short-lived ghost, and he became a grandfather again, asking the short-lived ghost to bless the children more easily."
He Gong responded repeatedly, hurriedly ran to see his wife, looked at her younger son, and then went to burn incense for his father.
The He family had a third son. Old Mrs. Shen said that the in-laws were about to prosper. When she thought of her daughter giving birth, Old Mrs. Shen said, "A Xuan's mother gave birth, I'm fine. I just can't listen to A Qing giving birth, which scared me."
Mrs. He smiled, "You are born to be timid."
Old Mrs. Shen laughed, "I feel panicked when I hear it."
He Zijin brought the red date soup to his grandmother, thinking to himself, how can the daughter-in-law and daughter be the same?
However, as soon as the He family had completed the three-bath ceremony, news came from the emperor's congregation. The He family was now a family of officials, and quickly replaced all the bright things at home, and even their clothes were replaced with plain colors. He was still saying, "I just heard the bell ringing, and I thought it was a temple ringing."
He Zijin said, "There is not such a big noise when ringing the bell in the temple." He Zijin felt a little sad when he thought of the old emperor's death. Although he was always worried when he was about the old emperor, and the old emperor seemed to have some disagreements with Master Chaoyun's family, the old emperor has always been very good to her. In the end, she got married with A Nian and gave him a gift of Bimu Pei. The person suddenly died, and He Zijin was a little uncomfortable.
When the old emperor died, the palace issued a direct edict that the family of officials would not be allowed to feast and drink music within one year and should be filial to the country.
He Gong'a Nian had to come back from the yamen at night, saying that he would go to the palace to cry the next day.
Even Mrs. Shen of Jiang's family wanted to go to the palace to cry because she had an imperial edict. At this time, Mrs. He was a little lucky and envious. She was glad that she didn't have to get up early and go to cry for the emperor and the emperor. Envy, and also envy that she had an imperial edict on her body. Although it was a bit hard, it was also a kind of honor.
However, when he saw Aunt He was about to cry, Aunt He became mentally balanced and said to Aunt He, "You are a blessed person, go ahead and don't cry too hard."
Aunt He:...
All the people in the Shen family were busy, so He Zijin simply asked his grandfather to come to his house for dinner and could talk and talk. Then, every day, He Shen and his family got up early and went to school, and A Xuan and others had to go to school. Aunt He, Jiang's family, didn't care about this matter. Old Mother He agreed, "Leave it to the girl movies, she can do it well."
He Zijin is really doing well. From the lunch of Ah Xuan, Alie and Feng Yu and others to Chen Su, He Gong'a thought about the matter of Mrs. Shen, the old lady of Jiang's family, crying to the Lingling. He brought things on the way, snacks, clothes, tea, and He Zijin cooked them properly. He also had a pair of ginger juice and handkerchiefs for crying spirits, so that they would not cry when they were inconsistent.
We also need to ask Mrs. Zhou to make milk soup for her mother next time. Mrs. Zhou is cooked and there is no need to worry about it.
Aunt He, Jiang, has only sons, and they all say, "In the future, you have to marry a wife for the eldest son, you have to marry Zijin like this." Even Jiang felt that even if He Zijin couldn't grow green chrysanthemums, he would not be as decent as the emperor and the crown princess. With this ability alone, he could be worthy of his eldest son and daughter-in-law. Every night when Crying Ling came back, he could still have a hot midnight snack. If he had such a wife, he would enjoy his happiness.
Hu Wen and the third girl came to the imperial capital in an atmosphere of filial piety throughout the city.
When the two found the He family by address, they were not even dressed. One was wearing a gray cloth robe. The third girl didn't even have jewelry on her head, and she just had a hairpin. Hu Wen was not much better than the third girl. She had a bamboo stick on her bun. Those who didn't know would think that she was going to put a sign and sell the first one. The Chongyang that Hu Wen held was also covered in gray. If it weren't for the servant Lichun who followed Xiaomai and Hu Wen and the several shopkeepers and the roast duck shops in the first place, He would have thought that they would have encountered some difficulties on the road.
Mrs. He hurriedly pulled someone in and said, "What's wrong with this? Why are you dressing up like this?"
Cui'er brought tea and snacks. Hu Wen took half a cup of tea before saying, "Hey, grandmother, don't you think this happened just now. We were about to arrive at the imperial capital and found out that we can't see red in the city of the Emperor. We were bright clothes, and people on the road reminded me that I didn't see a ready-made garment shop for a while, so I bought a few coarse cloth clothes at the farmer's house to change. Otherwise, it would be impossible to see the imperial capital for the officers and soldiers to see it. We are now wearing bright clothes and violated the ban."
"Isn't it? We have never dared to wear bright clothes over the years." Old Madam He felt relieved when she heard this, called everyone to have tea and snacks, and asked if she was hungry?
Hu Wen said, "Don't worry, grandma, we had dinner in the morning."
The third girl said, "Fortunately, we bought a few coarse gray clothes before entering the city. There was a family of people who reminded them that the master of the family said nothing but it was okay, how could it be okay? As soon as he entered the gate of the imperial capital, he took it down by the defending army, saying that they were very disrespectful to the late emperor. The people and the car were also locked, and I don't know what to do."
Mrs. He said, "That's how it's going out, be careful, there's no big mistake."
The three girls and their wife agreed deeply.
He Zijin said, "I'll go find two sets of my plain clothes for my third sister. My father has something suitable for Brother Awen to wear."
He Zijin went to find clothes, and the shopkeepers followed Cui'er to the servant's house to settle the house. Everyone was the first to come to the imperial capital. His eyes were a little blurred on the road. The He family lived in such a decent house. Everyone's eyes were straightened. Thinking that the He family was indeed developed. Old lady He asked them that the road was smooth, and the third girl laughed, "It's all good, I didn't want to bring Chongyang. My husband said that the child is not young anymore. He was worried that Chongyang could not catch the long road along the way. As a result, the boyfriend was a little unacceptable on the road, and Chongyang was good."
"How can a child not be with him? This child must follow his parents. Your grandfather and old lady are excellent. But even if you are old, you will be powerless." Mrs. He took Chongyang to his arms and gave him some snacks. The third girl asked, "Grandma, why did Zijin tie his hair up and even wear his face?" The hairstyle of a woman is different from that of a girl. The most obvious difference is that when a woman gets married, she has to wear a face. The girl's house used to have braids, while the woman has to wear a bun.
Old Madam He smiled, "I was about to tell you that A Nian and our girl got the marriage done."
Miss Hu Wen was very happy, and the third girl said again, "The eldest grandson of the Chen family went back and said, "Is the aunt happy, but she gave birth?"
"It's been born! Suck!" Old Madam He said loudly.
The third girl smiled and said, "Our family is really happy and has constant events!"
Hu Wen also laughed, "I have to congratulate my grandmother, and it's a great joy to add a child!" Especially the Yue family, who has been passed down for several generations, and the population is particularly precious, unlike his family... Alas, think about the day of his family...
The third girl asked about how much the child was born and how she looked. She also said that she would go to pay homage to Shen after washing up. Mrs. He smiled and said, "Your yard was prepared one month in advance. Now the home is spacious, just live open."
Hu Wen said, "This house is really good. It's just a turn from Zhuque Street. It's rare to be quiet in the midst of a turbulent situation."
"It was my uncle who gave the girl movie. The girl movie is so terrible that she has changed her title deed long ago."
Miss Hu Wen San was so happy and said with a smile, "Who is different? You are the one who decides the family."
"That's it." Old Madam He narrowed her eyes and raised her mouth, revealing her unique and authoritative appearance in the family.
To be continued...
