Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 473 Chapter 478+479: The beginning of the new year
Liao Qing's handling of this matter was straightforward, not procrastinating at all, which surprised Tian Xiaoyu. When did my brother-in-law change his temper?

Qiaomei was very happy, it just happened that these days, Liao Qing was on assignment, and there was nothing to do, the young husband and wife were tired of being together all day long.

Liao Qing also has a house in the imperial capital, but he doesn't know where it is, so he stays in Tian Xiaoyu's house all day long.

"Sister-in-law, I'm still inquiring about cousin's news, don't worry." One day while eating, Liao Qing suddenly brought up this topic for some reason, which made people a little confused.

Tian Xiaoyu's eyes fell on Liao Qing, she smiled lightly, and then said, "En, it's fine."

When Qiaomei heard this, she said reluctantly, "How can it be all right, my husband, you must help me find news about my cousin. These days, my sister-in-law is so anxious."

"Enen, I know, you can rest assured." In fact, Liao Qing didn't know that he was able to be promoted from the Tanshan Mansion to the Imperial Capital, except for the prefect's kindness, there was more Gu Yunqing.

No one knew what Gu Yunqing was doing silently behind his back, but he felt that he was by everyone's side all the time.

Looking at Qiaomei and Liao Qing's affection, Tian Xiaoyu's nose turned sour, and his heart missed Gu Yunqing even more.

"I'll serve the soup, you guys eat first." She finally stood up, smiled at the loving young couple, and went out the door with the soup bowl in hand.

As soon as the front foot stepped out, the tears fell like balls, where is Xianggong now, whether it is good or bad, I have no way of knowing, how can I feel safe in my heart?

After staying at home for five or six days, Liao Qing got the official seal. This official seal was sent home. The government office, silver taels, and house deeds were all neatly stacked in a box.

The mansion is not far from the house, Liao Qing went to have a look, compared with the mansion in Tanshan mansion, it is much bigger, but this mansion is big, more people need to buy more, and the money to spend is even bigger too much.

Qiaomei said that she was used to living at home and she didn't want to move out. Liao Qing had no choice but to agree to move in first by herself, tidy up, and then let everyone move in.

Tian Xiaoyu is unwilling, she doesn't like to depend on others, even though Liao Qing is her cousin-in-law, but she always feels uncomfortable, not to mention that she has a place to live, she politely refused, but Liao Qing didn't insist, he You know, this sister-in-law has a lot of self-esteem.

It seemed that the Chinese New Year was about to come, but Gu Yunqing still had no news, and Tian Xiaowu was too busy to see anyone these days.

In the past, Tian Xiaoyu could still ask a few more questions, but now it is true that no one can see it.

Although she was anxious in her heart, she didn't show it at all on the surface. Everyone just thought that she had forgotten this matter, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

The snow couldn't stop falling, and the next night, the ground and the roof were covered with thick snow, Tian Xiaoyu was busy in the kitchen all day long, Mu Cangwu knew that she had something on her mind, but she couldn't say anything.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Ye were very happy. They thought about making new clothes for everyone every day. Everyone, old and young, had them, even Mu Cangwu didn't let them go.

Yuan Bao's clothes were the first to be finished, and little Yuan Bao couldn't bear it all day long and clamored to wear the clothes, but Mrs. Wang couldn't help it, so she made another set for her.

Seeing Wang's pampering like this, Tian Xiaoyu felt sweet in her heart. Wang still loves this child very much.

Of course, the little clothes of Element and Yuanxi were not left behind, and the clothes inside Qiaomei's belly, Wang also thoughtfully made small clothes, with dragon and phoenix patterns, I'm afraid, in case Qiaomei gave birth to twins, this girl The doll will be the same as Yuan Xi's back then, wearing boy's clothes for a few months.

Aunt Ye was naturally happy with Wang's way of doing this. Although she didn't say anything, she was very attentive when she embroidered Tian Xiaowu's clothes.

Because of Liao Qing's presence, Qiaomei is becoming more and more blessed now, and she looks like she has gained a lot of weight.

Tian Xiaoyu doesn't look forward to the Chinese New Year at all, the most important day of reunion, but for him, the most important person is not by his side.

Even if you don't look forward to it, time always flies by day by day. The day of Xiaonian comes too fast, Tian Xiaoyu thinks, but it has only snowed a few times, how come it is Xiaonian?

I still remember this time last year, I am afraid it was my happiest day.

Tian Xiaoyu got up early on Xiaonian's day, and went to the kitchen to cook by herself, while everyone was still sleeping peacefully. After all, it was useless to wake up early in the snowy weather.

She was busy in the kitchen by herself for a while, thinking that the snow in the yard hadn't been swept away, and she went to sweep the snow with a broom, and there was a knock on the door, and now it's just dawn today, Tian Xiaoyu was also puzzled, who actually dropped by so early.

She took the broom and went to open the door. When she saw who was coming, the thing in her hand fell to the ground involuntarily.

"Sir, you're back?" Tian Xiaoyu looked at the person in front of her in surprise, full of surprise.

Gu Yunqing smiled, very subtle, but it made people feel warm, only to hear him whisper, "I'm back, I will spend the New Year with you."

Tian Xiaoyu couldn't hold back her tears at this moment, and threw herself into Gu Yunqing's arms, feeling like a boat floating in the river and sea, and now, she finally found support.

Gu Yunqing hugged Tian Xiaoyu, and buried his head deeply between his wife's necks. This is a familiar smell, a home, a feeling of happiness, which finally makes people find a little peace in their hearts.

Tian Xiaoyu cried for a long time, silently sobbing and shedding tears, Gu Yunqing coaxed and comforted her over and over again, the two just looked at each other like this, and each laughed again.

"You've lost so much weight, I wouldn't be angry with you if I knew it." Tian Xiaoyu said to Gu Yunqing with some annoyance, and blamed himself, "It's not a serious matter at all. You just walked away."

"It's my fault. I shouldn't hide it from you. It's you. If you don't take it with you at home, why did you come to the imperial capital? There are mixed fish and dragons here, how can I feel at ease?" Gu Yunqing's palms had calluses , although listening to complaints, but the love in the tone still makes people feel warm.

Tian Xiaoyu curled her lips, and then said aggrievedly, "I didn't come here alone, I came here with my family to find a husband, and it seemed that I was about to go to the imperial capital, so I realized that you went to the north of Xinjiang, so you can't come here again." Let’s go back, I’m so heartbroken, I just settled down here.”

"No, it's because the padded coat is a bit big, which makes me look thinner." Tian Xiaoyu immediately argued, and in order to prevent Gu Yunqing from thinking too much, he changed the subject and asked, "Speaking of servants, I'm in the courtyard I turned around and didn't see a single one??"

"I'm afraid you don't like it, let them all stay in the backyard. You can go and have a look later, dismiss those who don't like it, stay if you think it's okay, and choose two servant girls to follow you and your mother-in-law." Gu Yunqing Speaking of such words, it is proficient.

This made Tian Xiaoyu a little surprised, and felt that he seemed to understand these things, so he couldn't help asking with some doubts, "You know a lot, Xianggong?"

"I often follow behind the general, and I know it through my ears and eyes." Gu Yunqing came back this time, which made Tian Xiaoyu feel very different, as if he was a different person.

His speech is not as dull as before, and his whole person looks energetic, his temperament and demeanor, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who came out of a poor family.

"Okay, I get it. Then let's go and have a look later." Tian Xiaoyu nodded, and this was considered an agreement.

The two stood for a while, Gu Yunqing saw that Tian Xiaoyu was quite satisfied with the house, so he was in a hurry to move.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go down and have a look." Gu Yunqing opened his mouth, looked at Tian Xiaoyu, his tender gaze was about to melt him away.

Tian Xiaoyu agreed to go down, and the two went down the pavilion, and the latter took the lower house.

Sure enough, there were a lot of people standing in the yard, men and women standing several rows, Tian Xiaoyu saw it, and couldn't help but whispered to Gu Yunqing, "Sir, there must be too many people here."

However, Gu Yunqing smiled and said, "Silly wife, look at this Nuoda courtyard, can a few people clean it up?"

After hearing this, Tian Xiaoyu recalled that the yard was much bigger during the journey, and it seemed that some servants were really needed to clean it up.

She had no choice but to nod her head, and then said, "That's fine, I don't need too many maids by my side, just find a few patient women to take care of the children."

"That's natural. There are also Qiaomei and Aunt Ye. The mother-in-law must also take care of it. Xiaowu has no place to settle down in the imperial capital. Just move them all in." Gu Yunqing nodded and said his suggestion, but After thinking for a while, he said, "You are the hostess of this house, so just do what you think."

"Okay, you leave the back house to me." Tian Xiaoyu smiled, looking bright.

The servants stood together tremblingly, waiting to be selected by the mistress, but they were all surprised when they saw the general coming in with a thin woman.

In the imperial capital, the wives at the level of generals, those wives in the back house are not graceful and luxurious, but they are very simple when they come to their own wives.

Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to speak falsely.

Tian Xiaoyu has always been good-natured, and she lives in the country, and she also knows that it is not easy to be a servant, so she speaks very gently, not harshly, which makes those servants feel a little nervous Width.

Tian Xiaoyu transferred two maids to herself. After all, Nuo Da's back house will be managed by herself in the future, and one more person is considered an extra leader. Both Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Ye chose a maid to serve them. Qiaomei, Tian Xiaoyu doesn't know what's going on, after all, it's normal if Liao Qing picks up Qiaomei to go to the house, so we'd better go back and discuss it.

Three children, each with three wives to take care of them, nurse Tian Xiaoyu did not choose, she just wanted to breastfeed by herself, always felt strange to let the children eat other people's.

After the two made arrangements, Gu Yunqing gave some orders to the housekeeper. Everyone got busy with their duties, but Gu Yunqing took Tian Xiaoyu back to the small house.

The housekeeper's surname was Zhou, and he was a man in his 30s anyway. He worked very quickly and did things swiftly and resolutely, which was appreciated by Gu Yunqing.

The two went back to the house, and Mrs. Wang happened to see it when she went out, and immediately came up to greet her, and asked with a smile, "Xiaoyu, is the new mansion good? Is it big?"

"Of course it's good. We'll be able to move in tomorrow when it's almost done." Tian Xiaoyu said with a smile when she saw Wang's curiosity.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was even more happy, and said happily, "Oh, it's great, we can live in a new house again, will people call me old madam in the future?"

As for Mrs. Wang, seeing Hongying calling Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Mrs., was very envious in her heart. After all, her son-in-law is a general, and after all, is there a general judge.

"That's natural. I've selected all the maids to serve you. They have good looks and good personalities." Tian Xiaoyu laughed amused by Wang's words. Her own mother is really cute sometimes. Woolen cloth.

Only then did Wang nodded reassuringly, and said, "That's good, hey."

After returning to the house, Tian Xiaoyu and Aunt Ye greeted each other and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook for everyone. After all, it was noon, so they should be hungry.

"Miss, what are you doing?" Gu Yunqing was about to drag Tian Xiaoyu back to the room to rest, but when he saw Tian Xiaoyu heading towards the backyard, he couldn't help asking with some doubts.

"Ah, that, you rest for a while, I'll go and let's cook, it's already noon." Tian Xiaoyu felt that he was being held by a hand, and he couldn't help turning his head, seeing that it was Mrs. Xiang, so he said again.

Gu Yunqing was smiling, and pulled Tian Xiaoyu back into his arms with a lot of strength in his hands, and said with a smirk, "Then you feed me first, Zhou Ren will prepare the lunch, and later people will eat it." sent it over."

Zhou Ren is Steward Zhou's full name. When Tian Xiaoyu heard this, he couldn't help being stunned, and joked, "Oh, it turns out that General Gu has already prepared it for us. It seems that I can stay away from the kitchen in the future. Yeah?"

It was the first time Gu Yunqing heard Tian Xiaoyu call himself that, he looked at her amusedly, and said, "Yes, this Mrs. Gu can enjoy the blessings in the future, and someone will help you with the other things."

When Tian Xiaoyu heard it, she felt at ease, and immediately said, "That's fine, I'll be lazy in the future, you, you can't dislike me."

Tian Xiaoyu huddled in Gu Yunqing's arms, then pouted and said, "You can't follow Liao Qing's example and take concubines."

"En, good." Gu Yunqing responded with a smile, but after thinking about it carefully, something was not quite right, and asked, "What? Liao Qing taking a concubine?"

"Yeah, you don't know?" Tian Xiaoyu was also a little dazed when she saw the puzzled look on her husband's face, and said, "This matter is complicated, and Qiaomei even made peace with Liao Qing."

"What's going on?" Gu Yunqing's face changed, obviously a little angry.
