Ordinary clear day

Chapter 222 Back to the Door
Returning home on the third day after marriage, Shuning got up before dawn, washed and dressed, and helped Tongying pick out clothes for going out.Tong Ying looked down again and again, the corners of her mouth curled up: "Sure enough, the clothes made by my wife are close-fitting and comfortable to wear."

Shu Ning smiled and said: "Don't flatter me, this is made according to your previous size. How long has it been since I saw you? How can it be really close? It's true that it barely fits. You should put on another coat made by someone else. Just as Tong Ying wanted to refuse, she paused and changed her mind: "Then put it on, I just need to wear the clothes made by my wife next to my body, so as not to get dusty and dirty."

Shuning's face turned red, and while Dongqing was bringing in breakfast, she pushed him to the side of the kang.She stared at Tongying and ate a lot before finishing her portion.Tong Ying asked her to eat more, but she smiled and said: "There are a lot of delicious food in my house, and there is a banquet at the same time. Are you afraid that I will be hungry? You should eat more, so as not to drink on an empty stomach and be caught." I'm drunk." Tong Ying's mouth twitched: "Your brother is not my opponent." Shuning looked contemptuous: "You think there is only one brother in my family who can drink you?"

Tong Ying winked and said: "I made a mistake twice, that's your mother's house, and this is your home." He approached Shu Ning while talking, and took the opportunity to kiss her on the cheek.Shu Ning heard two laughs from outside, and hurriedly pushed him away: "I said it earlier, don't do this in front of people in broad daylight." But Tong Ying smiled in her ear indifferently: "That means you don't do this in front of people in broad daylight." , or at night?"

Shu Ning's ears turned red, thinking that this guy was indeed a bit dishonest, he didn't do anything wrong last night, so he thought he was really such a nice person.Seeing her blushing face, Tong Ying decided to let it go for the time being: "Okay, okay, let's let you go for the time being." Shuning's face turned red again, and she buried her head in drinking jujube tea.

After eating almost, Eunuch Luo came to ask if he and the nuns should follow the car?Especially those two nuns, already dressed.Shu Ning asked Tong Ying what she meant, and said: "Luo Adidas stay and take care of the house, the two nuns can go, but the maids I married and Niu Xiaosi and his wife have to go back, others please Let Luo Adida arrange it." Eunuch Luo answered solemnly and left the room.

Shuning secretly asked Tongying: "Has he always been like this?" Tongying also replied in a low voice: "He just likes to put on a straight face, but he is actually very interesting." Shuning blinked and decided to observe first. A "fun" method.

After breakfast, Shuning helped find a coat for Tong Ying to wear.Xiaolanzi came over with the boots, and after Tongying put them on, she brought a plate of ornaments.Shuning picked out a purse, a jade pendant, and a pair of red and black braids, and put a warm hat on Tongying, tidying up her newlywed husband, making her look extra energetic.

She smiled Mimi and said: "I used to see Erniang tidy up Ama's clothes, and my sister-in-law tidy up my brother's accessories. I always felt that they were not doing well enough. I thought that I could do it myself and dress up people anytime. It’s refreshing, now I finally have a chance.”

Tongying took her hand and pulled it into her arms, and said with a smile: "Who is that person you are talking about? Could it be me?" Shuning gave him a look, and secretly glanced at the person next to her, but Xiaolanzi disappeared at some point But Suxin and the others pretended to be nonchalant and went outside to discuss something like "I want to bring some snacks from Beizifu back home", "Idiots only bring snacks, if you want to bring them, bring fresh clothes" or "I want Wear the fruits here and go back to show your mother", and so on.Shuning crouched in Tongying's arms and laughed, feeling that he was trembling slightly, probably the people outside didn't know what funny things she said, right?

Not long after, someone reported that Ji Fujin, the eldest lady and all the female family members had arrived, and Shuning's mother, Tong Shi, also came. Shuning hurriedly pulled Tongying to check that there was no problem with each other, and then invited the elders into the new house .

Originally, the mothers on both sides were going to inspect the piece of white silk together, but the old nuns of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already done this, so Mrs. Borzigit and Mrs. Tong were just going through the motions. Sitting in the main room of the new house, talking and laughing.Tong looked at her daughter a few times, saw that her face was ruddy, she was in good spirits, and she and Tong Ying occasionally looked at each other, both were very sweet, so her heart was half relieved.

Shu Ning opened the cage, and took out the hand hats, purses, sachets, fan belts and other small things that were prepared earlier and distributed them to those who came.These were all made by herself. The one given to Borzigit was a sachet woven with gold thread, while the one given to Guarja was a very finely crafted purse.Although the latter just casually let the maid accept it, she didn't take it seriously, at least she had already paid the ceremony, and if there was any gossip, it would not be her problem.

The other Fujins all received exquisite needlework and praised them one after another.Tong smiled and said a few words of humility for her daughter, caressing her temple with her left hand as if inadvertently, the corners of her mouth curled up.Shuning lowered her head, hiding her smile.

Eunuch Luo brought cakes, and after eating, everyone bid farewell.Tongying asked someone to set up a car and was ready to go out.

In addition to the people brought by Mrs. Tong when they came, and the people they followed when they entered the palace yesterday, they also added two more carriages to pull the maids and nuns. Because they were not far away, they arrived at the baron before the hour passed. government.Someone had already seen it at the front door, and rushed in to report it.

Zhang Bao and his sons eagerly came out of the second door, just in time to meet his wife and daughter getting off the car.Tong Ying rushed to greet him, and then greeted Brother Duanning.Duanning looked at him, then at his radiant younger sister, sighed, and patted Tongying on the shoulder.

Here Xiang Tongying was embraced by Qingning Shunning and others, and went to the hall to talk.Shuning didn't have time to say anything more, so she was welcomed back to Huaiyuan by her mother and sister-in-law.

All the family members of the Three Houses had arrived, and Tong and Zhenzhen seized the time to ask her how she was doing these days before any female relatives arrived.Seeing that although Shu Ning was shy, she couldn't hide the happy expression between her brows, they were all relieved, and asked about the financial situation of Beizi Mansion, so as to ensure that their daughter would not suffer.

Shuning only had time to say that Tongying had two villages and a few shops, and all the people from the second room of the big house came. Zhang Bao and Duanning saw that it was inconvenient, and after a few words of advice, they dragged Xiaobao and insisted on relying on their sister. Xianning next to her went out to find her son-in-law to get in touch.

A lot of people came today, and even Fang Ning, who was about to give birth with a big belly, went back to her mother's house.Shu Ning touched her belly which was a bit larger than normal, and was amazed.

Fang Ning said shyly: "The doctor said it might be twins. The whole family was in a hurry. Fortunately, the third aunt borrowed a knowledgeable daughter-in-law for me, otherwise it would be troublesome. Now my mother-in-law cooks delicious food for me all day long." , your eldest brother-in-law also walks with me every day, because I’m afraid I won’t have enough strength to give birth.” Shuning sighed, “No wonder my sister’s belly is so big, it must be very hard, right?” Fangning smiled slightly, but slowly touched own belly.

Wan Liuhashi looked at her belly, wondering what she was thinking, and said after a while: "I heard from the old man that not everyone can give birth to twins, but only those who have had them in their ancestors. Is there any precedent in my aunt's family? "

Aunt Chen glanced over and didn't dare to speak, but her face turned blue.Nala was about to have a fit, but Suo Chuoluo scolded: "How did you talk? Could it be that there is no precedent in Shu Mulu's family, and Fang girl can't be born? Do you think they are all like you?!" Wan Liuha His face changed, he bit his lip, and didn't talk back.Sochoro glanced at her, then turned around and smiled.

Nala curled her lips, smiled and said to Fangning Shuning: "Actually, speaking of the precedent, there really was a pair of twin siblings in the old man's generation. It's just two elders, one married within three years. Passed away, and the other... lost contact after the separation. It's not for nothing that Fang girl is pregnant now, it's just that being a mother is harder."

Fang Ning blushed slightly and said with a smile: "It's not hard work. My husband is not young, but he has no children. If my fetus is really a twin, it will save a lot of effort."

After hearing this, everyone said she was very lucky.It was Mrs. Li who laughed: "What's the matter today? It's obvious that the third younger sister came home, so why are you looking at the belly of the eldest sister?" Xiao Liu said with a smile: "Who made the eldest aunt not return to her mother's house for nearly half a year? I didn’t know what was going on, but it turned out to be such a great blessing, so naturally I had to ask a few more times, so that I could get some luck.”

Everyone laughed, Zhenzhen pursed her lips and said, "When did our third aunt come home with such a big belly?" Shuning blushed and beat her sister-in-law a few times, who knew that other sister-in-laws became interested She started to make fun of her, and someone even asked about her privacy, so she had no choice but to blush and keep quiet. In the end, it was Tong who couldn't bear it and smoothed things over before stopping.

Seeing the hustle and bustle in the room, Nala suddenly felt sad again.Shuning, a wife of Beizi, has such ostentation, why is her Wanning so miserable?But she quickly covered it up and put on a smiling face to talk to everyone.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sitara worried about Shuning's mother-in-law and sister-in-law, because they were getting married on the night of the wedding, and they felt a little worried that Shuning would be wronged at her husband's house.Shu Ning said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't live with them now, I just need to go back to the palace to say hello some time later. Prince Jane's Fujin are not difficult to get along with, even if the elder sister-in-law has something to say, she doesn't mind." I can’t do anything to me. I just need to follow the etiquette, who can say I’m wrong?” She doesn’t need to keep this matter from her natal family, but it’s hard to explain it too clearly. My family doesn’t care. It is not a good thing after all to spread the word.

Tong's face remained calm, and everyone believed it was true, so he didn't ask any more questions.After everyone dispersed, Tong asked her daughter for details in private.Shu Ning hesitated for a while, and told her mother about the wedding night and yesterday's meeting, but Tong was very angry.

She said viciously: "The Guerjia family is the most prominent family in Manchuria, the daughter born to her, how can she do so lowly? Other people do such things on the day of their wedding, why do you give me a mirror?! Hmph, Shu'er, you child For some reason, giving someone a mirror not only means to belittle others' looks, but also to curse other people's disharmony between husband and wife, you should have thrown it back at that time, and you still accepted it?!"

But Shuning didn't care and said: "The relationship between my husband and wife is not something she can control with a mirror. Besides, in front of the elders, I have to do all the etiquette and be more humble. My father-in-law even praises me. What good can she get behind her back? This sister-in-law is simple-minded, so it's not difficult to deal with. I'm more worried about the Fujin and that concubine."

Tong Shi calmed down, and said: "Forget it, as long as you don't soften your heart, I'm not worried, but don't underestimate her, sometimes rough people are hard to deal with." Shuning nodded: "I'll save it."

Tong talked about some housework, and then talked about Zhang Bao's upcoming appointment.Because in more than a month, he will have served for three years, and now he does not know what will happen after his term expires.Shu Ning remembered what the Eunuch Li had said in the palace yesterday, so she told her mother, "According to this, Ah Ma's political performance is very good, maybe she can rise further, but I don't know where it will be." .”

After thinking for a while, Tong said: "In the past three years, although you, Ama, have been highly valued by the masters of Fantai, but after all, you are an assistant official, and a lot of credit can't be attributed to you. The three-year evaluation is all good. Besides, the three To be promoted to this position a few years ago is already an exception, and you, Ama, and I both feel that it is not good to be promoted too fast." She paused, and said in a low voice: "We heard that someone secretly lobbied Mr. Fantai , It's a matter in the imperial court, my lord is in a difficult situation. If it weren't for your ama's position being a bit low, and you are an in-law of the Tong family, I'm afraid you will also encounter these things."

Shu Ning was silent, she actually forgot.Now that Mingzhu has come out of the mountain again, the power of the elder brother has risen sharply, and although the prince's side is not doing well, but I heard that the emperor scolded Suo'etu a few days ago, and the direction of the wind has changed somewhat.If the father's official position is too high, it may really be affected.

She hesitated: "Then what should I do? The best way is probably to go somewhere, as far away as possible, but even in Guangzhou, these things cannot be avoided, and... I really don't want to be with Ama Erniang is separated..." Originally, the parents were in Baoding, so they couldn't see each other often, but at least they could get together for a few days during the holidays.She also thought about going to Baoding to stay with her parents in a few days when Tongying was free, but if her father really went to other provinces, it would be difficult to meet him.

Seeing her embarrassed face, Mrs. Tong softened her heart, and said: "There is no need to worry so much. You, Ama, me, and your brother have discussed it. Maybe... seek re-election first."

Shuning's eyes lit up: "That's right! This is a good idea! Baoding is so close, as long as Brother Tongying agrees, I can visit you at any time, and you can often come back to Beijing." The promotion is a bit fast, so after another three years, no one will say anything, right?Probably because her father had never been re-elected, she didn't expect it.

Mrs. Tong touched her head, only to realize that it was no longer the girl's hair style before. The young couple easily loosened their hair when they touched her, so they avoided it and said with a smile: "Your Mama said that you are not young now, so you can do it again." After being a Daotai for three years, at most you can find another chief minister, then you will retire from your old age, and then go home to take care of your grandson. Brother Ming alone is not enough, you have to work harder on your side."

Shu Ning blushed all at once, and said angrily, "Why are you saying that? Why don't you urge your sister-in-law to have more babies?" Even so, she couldn't help but think of Fang Ning's big belly, thinking What will it be like when you are pregnant?
Seeing her daughter's red face, Tong couldn't stop laughing, and asked a lot of questions in her ear.Shu Ning's face became more and more red, and she was almost about to smoke. Fortunately, Zhenzhen came into the room at this time and invited them to the table, and then saved her.

After setting out the round dinner, Tong Ying got a little drunk, finally escaped from Qingning's brothers, and when it was noon, she offered to leave.Shuning bid farewell to her family members, made appointments to see each other often, and said goodbye to her father who was about to return to Baoding, and just helped Tongying board the car and left.

Back at Beizi Mansion, Shu Ning asked someone to make hangover soup, only to find that Tong Ying had fallen asleep after returning to the house.She smiled and leaned next to him, half lying down and resting.After an unknown period of time, in a daze, she felt someone talking beside her, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that Tong Ying had woken up.

He drank a large bowl of hangover soup, rinsed his mouth, turned his head and said to Shuning with a smile: "It's still early, do you want to wander around the mansion? You haven't seen the garden yet, have you?"
