Yipin Tianxia

As for the war in Changzhou, the capital still knows nothing about it.

Another autumn rain fell, the frosty leaves withered, and the weather became colder. Many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the broken garden had already put on jackets. Nianfu took advantage of his spare time to find all the stewards to plan winter supplies.

The padded jackets are newly made every year, and there are charcoal fires for heating. This year, with the addition of those guards, the number will be even greater.Fortunately, with the subsidy from the imperial court, and the salaries of Ouyang Kang and Su Cheng, the expenses are not big.Oh, by the way, there is also one for Xiaoshuzi.

Speaking of which, apart from eating, sleeping, and sleeping, that kid has contributed nothing to the whole family. Apart from supporting himself, he can also support many others.

Taking a look at the round sweet potato who was lying on the bed under Wangcai's strict surveillance and practicing how to turn over on the four-legged little turtle, Nianfu continued to guide the work.

"...Those guards are all good boys, they have a big appetite, and this year's cured fish and bacon should be prepared more. These have to be prepared early, so as to save the winter solstice, it will be several times more expensive."

"There are also things for getting married. Some of them have been distributed before. They should be able to embroider wedding dresses, right? Tell them, as long as they are done well, choose a good day in the twelfth lunar month, and we will handle things together." Yes, reunion is also a happy New Year."

Liu'er's apprentice, the little girl Chunzhu, was scribbling on the sidelines, writing down the leadership's instructions and the tasks assigned to each of them.

This is related to year-end benefits, and the stewards did not dare to neglect, so they took notes carefully and put forward more reasonable suggestions.

For example, Guan Yuanzi told Nianfu that the bamboo shoots, dried flowers, chickens and ducks produced by the broken garden every year can fully meet most of the needs of the family, and the benefits are quite high.Is it too wasteful to leave a place as big as Prince Ping's Mansion empty?Can we also implement the policy of breaking the garden there?Anyway, the family has cultivated skilled hands, and it is not difficult to manage it technically.

Ah Shun, the chief steward of Prince Ping's Mansion actively agrees.He had long felt that Po Yuan was being managed very well, and he wanted to take care of it over there as well.Moreover, it is guaranteed that the pattern of Prince Ping's Mansion will not be changed.It's just to make full use of it, so as to save a good garden from being wasted.

With a place as big as Prince Ping's Mansion, he is confident that he only needs to tidy up the flower garden.The supply of flowers in the entire Broken Garden, and even those in the Leisure Garden, is definitely not a problem.Of course, he also suggested that the county chief should go for a walk if he is in a good mood.

The conversation here was lively, and Su Cheng sent someone over there, saying that he wanted to pick up sweet potatoes to take a bath.

The servants in the room were a little surprised, why take a bath in such a cold day?But Nianfu waved his hand calmly, motioning for the nanny to put a small cape on Baishu.Just took him away.

On this point, Mr. Su Da is very interested in Nianfu.Children grow fast, although it is not cold, but they are prone to sweating, taking a bath every day is actually very healthy and scientific.It will not damage the so-called vitality at all.

And every time Su Cheng picks the afternoon, when the temperature is the highest, he takes the sweet potatoes to wash for nothing, so he is not afraid.

It's just that today, because the temperature dropped again, Su Cheng even deliberately burned a few more pots of fire in the stove.

As soon as the sweet potatoes came in, her little face was steamed white and red, and she screamed from the heat.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Su Cheng smiled and carried him to the stove, and began to undress him.

Take off the little cotton coat, take off the little cotton trousers.The real body of the sweet potato was exposed, and the whole thing was a lump of tender meat with white flowers.Not to mention the full length of the meat that fell from the diarrhea last time, not to mention that it has been added a lot. Even for his correspondingly grown-up stature, there is only more meat, not less.

This kid is just too good to eat.

People began to add egg yolk in four months.It's all half and half, and he killed the whole one at a time, screaming unsatisfied.For rice porridge and vegetable puree, one bowl after another is eaten, and even the bowls are licked clean.The stomach and intestines adapted so well that it was called a croak.

So Su Cheng observed for several days, and decided to add some ingredients to the sweet potatoes starting today.

The little guy, who was stripped down to only his little bellyband, was happily and neatly playing the game of the little turtle turning over because he lost the restraint of his clothes.His eyes were wide open, he stared at the boy who came in with a big bucket, and frowned.

Su Cheng smiled lightly, and hugged him into his arms, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's fine."

But Bai Potato stared at him, obviously don't fool me, I won't be fooled.

Until the boy lifted the lid of the bucket and poured the bucket of boiled concoction into the small bathtub dedicated to sweet potatoes, the little potato couldn't stand such a strong stimulation anymore, bad memories flooded up instantly, oh He howled with a loud voice.

Such a bitter taste is all medicine!

Drinking a bowl will cause him hatred, such a big bowl, he will die!

But no matter how much he punched and kicked, like a small octopus trying to grab Su Cheng's clothes tightly, the cruel master still threw him and his clothes into the bathtub.

In the bathtub, there is a simple baby swimming ring made by Nianfu to imitate a leather ball. Two small skin bags are softly buckled on both sides of the neck, which can prevent the baby from drowning. Zai usually doesn't want to go out when he gets into the water, and he is so happy that he is thrashing about.

But today, he desperately wanted to go out and didn't want to stay.In the end, even disobedient and unfilial took those ducklings and threw them at Su Cheng to vent his anger, but Su Cheng did whatever he wanted, but he was not allowed to come out.

It wasn't until he had brewed enough time for a cup of tea that his whole body turned red before he was taken out of the potion.Wrap the sweaty body in a soft thick cotton blanket, and then rinse him off with clean water. Only then did the soaked sweet potato, which was paralyzed and dull-eyed, put on clothes, wrap it tightly, and send it back to his mother.

Xiaoshuzai felt sad and indignant, he would never like Shigong again, never like duckling again, he even didn't want to like himself anymore.

His whole body was suffering, and he was no longer the fragrant and white little potato boy he used to be.Woohoo, I'm so disgusted!

Fortunately, the sweet potato didn't stay depressed for too long, so it was soaked in the potion and fell asleep.So he didn't know what a stronger blow his poor mother had suffered in his peaceful dream.

Just after finishing the housework, Nianfu also said to go cook to change his mind, Cui Rong hurried back.

Called everyone down, and after saying a few words, Nianfu changed his clothes to go out, let people look at the sleeping sweet potatoes, and told the old lady and Su Cheng that Mrs. Guan was ill.Going to check it out, grab some supplements and head out.

But she didn't go to Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion when she went out, but went out of the city and went straight to Zou Taiyi's house in the suburbs of Beijing.

Zou Yuanliang happened to be at home.Seeing her coming, I was a little surprised, but it seemed to be expected.It's just that his face is weird, and it's really embarrassing.

Nianfu understood a little in his heart, "Doctor Zou, I won't say too much. Let me go and see him first. It's his business to see or not, but it's my heart to see or not."

Zou Yuanliang was helpless, sighed heavily, and took Nianfu to the backyard.He pointed to a secluded room without speaking.

Nianfu took a breath, stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly.

"Who is it? Come in." A familiar voice sounded in the house, bringing Nianfu a little surprise and warmth.

She mustered up the courage to push open the door, and the people inside looked at her in surprise.She moved her lips, as if she wanted to call Sister Nianfu, but in the end she still lowered her eyes, and only called softly, "Princess."

Without waiting for Nianfu to ask, Hou Fangyu told her, "The old man is very kind to my family. So something happened to his family, so grandpa asked me to accompany him to Beijing. It doesn't matter if there is a daughter-in-law watching at home. You go in, the old man is in the back room."

Nianfu looked at him, nodded silently, and opened the door curtain.I saw an old man in his eighties sitting silently in front of the window.His beard and hair are like silver, his body is plain, and his face is sad.

He seemed to know she was coming, but he didn't know it at all.A pair of old, freckled hands clasped tightly on the cane.

It was in Xuancheng that year.The old doctor Sun who had a relationship with Nianfu.

Tears flowed down from Nianfu, and he walked a few steps to kneel down in front of him, "I'm sorry, old man, I'm really sorry!"

Old Madam Sun's face was shaking, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything for a long time.In the end, he just turned away silently, as if he never wanted to see the person in front of him again.

Nianfu covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, she didn't know how to express her apology.But no matter how much apology, what's the point to this old man?

The whole family of Sun's family was wiped out, it was wiped out by bandits in collusion with Rui'an, and it was completely destroyed by the woman married off by Prince Ping's mansion.

Nianfu didn't know when and how she came out, but after she had cried, she was eager to know the truth.

Hou Fangyu sighed, "Since General Min's rebellion, Lingzhou has been in chaos. But your house is fine. I sent someone to check. Your grandpa's family is fine. A new house has been built, your cousin I'm still in school, and I said that when I get older in two years, I'll spread out the tofu at home."

After Nianfu thanked her with tears, Hou Fangyu said with difficulty, "It's just the Sun family... Oh, that Rui'an is really outrageous."

Nianfu wiped away tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Say it, I have nothing to hate."

Hou Fangyu couldn't bear to glance at her, and then said in a low voice, "She...she was having an affair with someone, and was discovered by the sister-in-law of the Sun family. The Sun family was not doing well, so she ran away first. It happened that Lingzhou was in chaos, and another The news of your family came...then Ruian attracted a group of bandits to Sun's house..."

Thinking of the bloody blood in the legend, he really couldn't say it out, so he could only tell Nianfu, "It was a lucky day that Mr. Sun invited someone to visit an old friend temporarily, and escaped the catastrophe. But there were dozens of people in the Sun family, Including the apprentice servant, no one was spared. The youngest brother Xing, even the corpse was not found."

Nianfu closed his eyes, but tears still fell down his cheeks.Although he didn't say anything, but with Yi Rui'an's vicious personality, once he decided to take revenge, how could he be merciful?

Although she didn't instigate this incident, after all, Rui'an married the Mu family to the Sun family, so how could she live with her conscience?

After a short pause, Hou Fangyu finally told her, "When Mr. Xu came, I found out that the owner of the silk shop who had an affair with Rui'an turned out to be a bandit's den behind him. Because the tragedy of killing the family was too shocking in Xuancheng, It has something to do with the bandits, so I asked Mr. Sun to go to Beijing and report to Dali Temple."
