The firecrackers rumbling, the plum twigs piled up snow, the capital was full of joy, and the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner at the Ningyuan Hou Mansion in the third year of Chongde was particularly special. Facing the table full of exquisite Chinese New Year dishes, the wife said with a slight sorrow: "Oh, our house is a bit thinner in the end; thinking of your four uncles and five uncles, grandchildren and granddaughters can squeeze two or three tables."

Gu Tingcan turned her head to look out the window. Her beautiful long neck was like a white swan on the lake. Her face was cold: "No, the past few years are lively, not like now, deserted, where is it like the Chinese New Year." /

Shaw's expression was sad, his head down silent, his eyes turned to Sister Xian aside; Zhu's stroking his huge belly, frowning slightly; Minglan pretended not to understand, she was ignorant and shy, taking it from time to time The veil covered his mouth.

The same ignorant Gu Tingwei, he smiled: "I said earlier that I would invite the celebration class to the fun, but my mother would not allow it."

Zhu hurriedly looked at Shaw Brothers anxiously. The wife gave her son a sideways glance and reprimanded: "What is it, your eldest brother hasn't been nine months in the past." Gu Tingwei smiled embarrassingly.

Gu Tingye looked as usual and slowly put down his chopsticks: "What you said is that it is a little deserted. It would be nice if Daddy had children earlier."

The expression on the lady's face froze.

Agricultural society believes that Ding Fanmao is a blessing. The more the New Year and the holidays, the more tables and floors will be filled, and the children and grandchildren will be prosperous. The three brothers of the Gu family’s elder generation all became relatives early, with four bedrooms and five bedrooms. Several grandchildren of's grandchildren are now available for negotiation. At this point, the long room is relatively desolate. At present, there are only two brothers, Gu Tingye and Gu Tingwei, for adult males, and only one wise brother for underage males. They are being served by the nurse and the two sisters are eating at the small round table by the side.

This situation stems from the serious negligence of Gu Laohou. Because he is deeply attached to a barren saline-alkali soil, no matter how fertilized and watered, it will not be effective. There have been no harvests for nearly ten years. When Gu Tingyu was born, Gu Tingxuan and Gu Tingyang can make soy sauce. Two years later, Gu Tingye was born, and it was five or six years before Gu Tingwei was born again. Gu Tingwei was weaned here, and Gu Tingxuan over there was already talking about kissing.

The long house generation will lose at the starting line. The root cause is that the land is not good. It is a behavior of occupying nothing and nothing. Unfortunately, the barren land is currently sitting. Mrs. Tai's relatives at the top

Because of the fact that there are few people, it would be even more bleak if you sit separately. Therefore, at the suggestion of Mrs. Tai, the Gu family's long room, which was supposed to have separate tables for men and women, sat down and ate the New Year's Eve dinner without shy. Originally, the three daughter-in-laws should be served at the table and clothed the mother-in-law with some chopsticks. However, Zhu and Minglan were pregnant, and Shaw was widowed and pitiful.

After Gu Tingye finished this sentence, Mrs. Tai's expression was not very good-looking, everyone lowered their heads to eat food, and the maids and women who were waiting at the tables were silent, and the atmosphere of prison dinner was actually eaten at the New Year's Eve dinner. It's quite flavorful, Minglan thought with interest.

In fact, Mrs. Tai's face has been ugly these days.

That day the wife returned the Gu family property, Ming Lan didn't want to join in the fun, because Gu Tingye insisted, she sat quietly behind the screen and listened. In front of everyone, Mrs. Tai asked Mother Xiang to put out the scale book like other books and accounts. She looked sad and aggrieved, but there was no unpleasant word, and she greeted everyone with a strong smile on her face. . Thinking of her sympathy for the old and the young over the years, she has always done good deeds and treated her family with kindness, and several older uncles are also a little sorry.

Ming Lan is tangled with her veil. Actually, the real acting school does not need to cry and open her nostrils to achieve the effect of crying and crying. She sympathizes with Gu Tingye, who is in front of her, like an evil and vicious villain. Face.

The situation has been like this. Who knows that the big villain is still unaware, and he does not stop doing two things, he actually called two clerks to come in, face to face, and count the property without evasiveness. Then, the faces of the elderly people became more and more ugly, and Ming Lan also felt embarrassed behind him. In this awkward and tangled atmosphere, Gu Tingye actually added a cup of tea leisurely.

"Today, in front of my family, I said everything, but I can live in harmony in the future."

The lady's face was pale, and she looked shaky; fortunately, the two masters were very fast, and before she fell down, they checked it clearly. After checking and asking questions, Gu Tingye waved his hand and was there. The two masters asked.

"Aren't these three shops originally located on Yongming Street (the bustling business district of the capital), but why are they now transferred to Acorn Hutong (a remote area)?"

"These 300 acres were originally paddy fields with springs and mountains and forests beside them. How come they have become sand fields now?"

"Why did the members of Ancheng Jinlou and Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs want to sell?"

Mrs. Tai couldn't put her face down for a while, she wanted to get angry, but the two clerks were respectful and polite, but Gu Tingye was indifferent from the side. She knew that if she didn't say something, she would inevitably make a fuss, and she would not care about it now. Pretending to be weak and wronged. The explanation is as follows: At that time, I had to intercede with each other, and spent a lot of money. Therefore, I was afraid that Gu Tingyu was weak and did not dare to tell.

Gu Tingye smiled without saying a word, the eyes of the family members on the side shifted, and their faces were strange.

Everyone knows more or less that since the Bai family got married, the financial situation of the Hou Mansion has been very good. In addition, Mr. Gu was bitten by a snake, and after suffering, he has been careful to run the family business.

Today, Mrs. Tai's light and fluttering sentence wiped out the savings of the Hou Mansion for many years, and also paid some of the ancestral property. In fact, he did not see any results achieved by Mrs. . In the end, it was Gu Tingye that saved the Ningyuan Hou Mansion from the scourge of the nobility. It sounds more credible to say that the family property was transferred to avoid being caught in a pot.

However, where did it go...whether it is true or false, is there a better excuse than this? Everyone's eyes fell on the lady's body three feet away.

Gu Tingye laughed, and did not ask any more questions. He just went straight to the family and expressed his willingness to set aside one hundred acres of fertile land as a sacrifice field for the family property to worship the ancestors. The atmosphere in the house has once again change. The so-called clan property is shared by the clan. Now all the sacrifice fields together can yield about three or four hundred taels of rice a year. The output of the sacrifice field is not only dedicated to family temples, ancestors and tombs, but also the poor, the young and the poor. You can get some subsidies, which is what you see.

The tribe’s eyes drifted and looked uncertain. Speaking of it, it’s not uncommon for a stepson and stepmother to not deal with each other, and at present, the stepmother may not be as clean as rice paper.

After returning to the house, Gu Tingye told Minglan: "This person, don't be careless." After contacting the plot of the top and bottom, and then turning it into Martian language, the effect is: this old woman will not give up when she reaches the Yellow River, and she will not give up easily. , Even if he admits defeat, it is pretending to be.

At that night, the wife hummed and lay down on the bed, wanting to entrust all the housework to Minglan, who knows that Minglan is more powerful than her, trembling tones and begging, "Look at the inconvenience of your daughter-in-law. Come on, anyhow it's past the first month'. Mrs. Tai knew that Minglan was tricky, but she couldn't get it, she could only grit her teeth secretly.

Minglan is grateful for a long voice--people must have done the tricks that should be done on the accounts, and there is no rush to check the accounts at this time. The first trimester of pregnancy is the most important thing. Don't be exhausted and keep everything aside.

So and so, Minglan on the banquet is very white, fat, red and tender, not to mention that the widowed Shaw is incomparable with the Zhu family who is about to give birth, but Tingcan, who is close to the wedding, does not look like her. Moist and beautiful, she couldn't pretend to be weaker.

Gu Tingye looked at the brother on the side, and said, "I have already agreed with the Chief of War Department. You can take office after the first month of the year." Ting Wei was overjoyed. He was impatient and bored at home." Thank you, brother!” Gu Tingye said: “Be a good errand, 50% of the soldiers and horses are no less busy than the camp guards, and there are a lot of troubles, you have to pay more attention.” Ting Wei smiled: “Second brother, rest assured.” Gu Tingye nodded slightly.

After returning to the house at night, Dan Ju came over with a small lacquered sandalwood box covered with bright yellow brocade, placed it on the round table in the house, and left in unison. Minglan smiled and said to Gu Tingye: "This is a gift from the palace today. I have collected all of them. These are very delicate and precious. Let Houye see, what should I do."

Gu Tingye lay on Minglan’s Concubine Xiang, his eyes closed slightly: "You are the master." Chinese New Year, there are many court affairs, so he is busy enough, and he hasn't even sat down seriously in the past few days. Eat a few meals; in a while, he will go to keep the year old, and now he will take a break.

Minglan secretly expresses sympathy, has paid, and has rewarded. She has learned more about the privileged class these days.

There are always rewards in the palace during the holidays, and there are also rewards in the palace not during the holidays, as a show of grace, colorful brocade, lake satin, Japanese satin, Shu brocade, many famous shark beads, treasures, soft smoke Luo, cicada wing yarn... and boxes of gold and jewellery stones. That's all, if you go outside to make clothes, you don't even have to jump in the queue, and the chef in the shop will come to serve you directly.

New Year’s Day is a big day, the rewards are naturally thicker. Minglan takes out the objects in the box one by one: a white and clean white jade bowl, two pairs of chopsticks engraved with jade and red gold, and a handle with yellow jade and white clouds. The golden jade Ruyi, and a bright red thing. Ming Lan held it in her hand and saw that a red jade concentric lock, a lock, and a lock were buckled together into a wishful tape shape, separated and formed separately. It is not only polished, but also has excellent jade color. Minglan has seen a lot of good things since she got married, but such excellent red jade is really rare. The red is bright and dazzling, and it is like a hot spring. It is placed in the palm of the tender and white, like a drop of pain.

Gu Tingye didn’t know when he opened his eyes and saw this concentric lock. The eyes that had been chilled all night seemed to have been given a warm glow by the red jade lock. He handed Minglan and sat beside him. Next, took the ruby ​​with one hand, and gently rubbed it at the fingertips. After a while, he whispered: "You know how to make a network." Minglan nodded. Of course it will, that is a required course.

"You knit it, let's take half of it." He whispered more and more.

Minglan felt soft in her heart, slowly leaning against his chest, and whispered: "I carry it all the time."

"Um. You make it up tighter."

On the first day of the first lunar month, Gu Tingye and Mrs. Tai went to the palace early in the morning to thank you for your birthday. Because Ming Lan was pregnant, she asked Xiao Shen to pass the wind, and the queen exempted her from entering the palace, and also gave some baby satin and tonics. There was a touch of envy in Xiao Shen's eyes. She was married earlier than Ming Lan, but she has not yet become pregnant. Fortunately, the eldest brother, General Zheng Jun, has a lot of children. The general's cigarette follow-up is carefree, and her pressure is somewhat lighter.

"I can't worry about this." Minglan comforted her, "My parents have a great aunt. She gave birth to my cousin almost four years after she got married. Maybe, now. The Goddess of Mercy is looking for the baby for you, um, should I give a little general or a little champion, alas, or the two should be sent together."

Little Shen's sorrow cleared away, and she laughed: "Just you will coax people!" Minglan's temperament is mild and humorous, and very easy to get along with. As time goes by, she loves to find her to complain.

Ming Lan shook her hand and whispered: "I know what you are worrying about. But your marriage date is still shallow, far from that point. You relax, the more comfortable you are, the sooner you may be Yes." There is no new hospital these days, so it can only be so.

Little Shen is not a person who loves entanglement and depression. He immediately thanked Minglan and his expression became clear again.

After Gu Tingye returned from the palace, Minglan ordered her mother-in-law to carry out some baskets of copper coins.

In the coming year, all the stewards, wives, daughters-in-law, and other maids in Chengyuan each have red envelopes to reward money. These few red strings and strings of copper coins are prepared for children. The wall between the original Hou Mansion and Chengyuan Garden had been cleaned up long ago, and the construction would only be started after the new year, filled with bricks, and built gardens. Now the former Hou Mansion also knows that the authority of the Manchu Mansion will call Lord Hou and Madam Hou back sooner or later, and there are a lot of people in charge of doing things. The Piancheng Garden is like an iron fence, and everyone is responsible for it. The new lady looked gentle, but she had no way of knowing her temperament, and the public was very worried.

Gu Tingye stole his life for a long time, smiling while watching Minglan reward the copper coins and snacks one by one. The garden was wrapped in silver, and many little girls and children were running and playing, rolling snow. The groups lost each other, bursts of laughter.

Sister Rong is wearing a new winter jacket. She walks all the way, the golden collar on her neck is shining with snow. She has been a little unhappy recently. I remember when she first entered the Hou Mansion, she missed her birth mother and younger brother almost every day, and she woke up crying at night; I don't know when, this kind of miss has faded. This year's New Year, because her aunt was pregnant, she suddenly remembered her brother whom she had not seen for a long time. However, she can no longer remember what her brother and mother looked like. Will my aunt give birth to a younger brother or younger sister?

She knew that her aunt treated her very well, and there were also girls who were born out of school. They all envied her for being blessed, well-dressed, and well-used. Sometimes her aunt would come to pick her up from school. It's okay later, if the auntie has her own child, would she put the concubine in her eyes as the outside said... She suddenly felt shocked, and remembered Mr. Xue's teaching: Whenever something happens, you should be at ease, not first Things are wrong. If the heart is right, then the heart is open and the eyes are clear.

She is secretly ashamed. I forgot what the husband said! She had made up her mind long ago, and from now on, she must learn well, to be an upright and bright person like Mr. Xue, who does not let her eyebrows be bearded, and to be a man with her head upright, not to be like a biological mother.

Sister Rong raised her eyes and looked up. Her father was smiling gently at his aunt, holding the stove with one hand, and her heart was sad. In fact, whether there are siblings or not, it makes no difference to her. Regardless of whether the aunt treated her sincerely, or for good reputation, or pity her, or want to show her to her father, the husband said that good is good, and those who are good should be grateful and sincerely cherish good fortune. , And act courteously, and be kind. In this way, blessings can be left for a long time, and God will help others.

"...Sister Rong." Auntie called her. Sister Rong quickly raised her head, her eyes widened. The lady wrapped in brocade in Huafu is young and beautiful, with a soft glow on her cheeks: "Come on, this is your lucky money."

Dan Ju held the small plate and handed the red envelope, Sister Rong took it blankly.

"Gentlemen say that you have learned well, and you are willing to work hard and make great gains." Aunty's aunty brows and benevolent, and whispers softly, "My father and I are very happy after hearing this. After a new year, I will pay. It’s like this."

Sister Rong lowered her head, she was proud and touched in her heart, but she couldn't say anything. She never learned to behave like a baby with her aunt, especially when her father was there.

Gu Tingye looked at her, and suddenly said: "You are going to be your sister." Sister Rong raised her head in surprise, but listened to her father's majestic voice, "The younger brothers and sisters behind are all looking at you, you must take a good one. Head."

Sister Rong's heart seemed to be flushed by the floodgate. She respectfully blessed her body and bowed steadily, with a dignified and gentle posture. She raised her head to face her head, and said loudly: "Thank you father for teaching, mother for caring, daughter, remember."

Minglan is pleased, secretly saying that the tuition is worth paying, and when school starts, she must prepare a generous annual gift.

Gu Tingye on the side looked at her fixedly.

In the first month of last year, Minglan went around visiting her elder brothers and sisters for New Year greetings. At that time, no one worshipped her. This year, one of them fell down. She stayed at home to raise a baby. Even her family’s New Year greetings were called Mrs. Sheng. Forget it, only teach Gu Tingye to go and come back after a meal. For the rest, she doesn't need to go anywhere, but now Gu Tingyi is just right, but the people who pay her New Year greetings are constantly flowing.

First, relatives in the clan, let alone those far away, there is no need to attract many autumn winds, but the four-five-two rooms are the prostitutes and uncles, and Gu Tingye prepared a thick and moderate New Year's ceremonies without any resistance. I don't know what he said to the two enemy uncles, and he came back in a good mood.

Ming Lan was so strange that she found someone to ask. Not long after the families were separated, their subordinates were very familiar with each other. Taking advantage of Gu Tingye's time to pay New Year's greetings inside, the people inquired about the situation of the two houses.
