take a wife to support the family

Chapter 345 Place Little Brother

Song Haonian and Li Baihe have decided to go back to the countryside after Cican gets married in the next five months, and the first ones to be arranged are the two little brothers Qingsong and Wenwa.

The two of them were originally country boys, because they knew a few words, Chen Bin chose them to work as waiters in the silk shop, and later on for Song Haonian to return to Beijing to meet his relatives, he had to have a few useful people around him, Chen Bin He also promoted the two of them to be Jinyiwei, which can be regarded as an official status.

It would be fine if Song Haonian lived in the capital for a long time in the future. They depended on Song Haonian and Chen Bin took care of them. Naturally, they had a bright future. As long as they didn't make big mistakes, they would never be able to get rich.

Now that Song Haonian is going back to the countryside, arranging for the two little brothers is a hassle.

This day Song Haonian came to Chen Bin's house and told him about this matter: "It not only depends on what you and I think, but also depends on his two wishes."

Chen Bin said with a smile: "If they are willing to stay in the capital, that's fine. I can see that there will be no big trouble."

Then he called the two of them and asked them what their plans were.

Qingsong and Wenwa both poke me and squeeze you, neither of them want to be the first to express their views.Song Haonian said: "Wenwa, you are older, you should talk first."

Xu Caiwen is half a year older than Qingsong, but in fact he is not Song Haonian's brother-in-law. If Qingsong is asked to speak first, Wenwa will have to follow Qingsong's wishes when she speaks, and there will be complaints in the future, so Wenwa should speak first.

Wen Wa thought for a while and said, "I want to follow our adults, but I don't worry about my parents being at home."

How prosperous the capital is, children from the countryside will be confused when they enter the county, let alone the capital?Following Chen Bin, in the future, let's not talk about being a small and medium-sized official of Jinyiwei, and with better luck, it is possible to be a hundred households.

Wen Wa's face was a little ashamed, afraid that Song Haonian would say that he dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and forgets his fundamentals, so he lowered his head and dared not look at others.

Song Haonian said with a smile: "People say that good men have ambitions everywhere. It's a good thing that you have ambitions. Your parents are still young, and you can open a tofu shop. You don't need to worry about the affairs of your hometown. You can work hard with the adults in Beijing, and so on. In two years, I will bring your parents to the capital to enjoy the blessings."

Wen Wa looked up at Song Haonian: "You don't blame me?"

"What am I blaming you for? I was afraid that you would blame me. I brought you to the capital, and now I have to leave you to go back. Even if you don't blame me, your parents must also blame me." Song Haonian didn't Don't take it seriously.

Wen Wa smiled and said, "My parents will definitely not blame you. They wrote a letter the other day and told me to work hard."

Chen Bin said from the side: "There are still several months before His Highness returns to his hometown. You should write a letter to your parents so that they can know your plan."

Wen Wa nodded in agreement, knowing that from now on she would truly take root in the capital. Although it was his luck that he walked out of Qingliu Town, it also had something to do with the cleverness and honesty of others.

Qingsong listened and calculated, and saw that the wen baby had finished speaking, without waiting for anyone to ask, he said: "Brother-in-law, I would also like to work with our lord, but there is one thing, I have to go back and get married."

The marriage between him and Yueniang has already been settled. Although shopkeeper Liu is from the capital, he has been operating in Taiping County for several years, and he cannot leave in a hurry. If Qingsong wants to get married, he has to go back to Taiping County.

Wen Wa made a face at Qingsong: "I just want to get married, I'm not ashamed!"

Song Hao Niannian suddenly remembered something: "Brother Chen, Wen Wa has also reached the age to talk about marriage. His parents are in the country, you and Mrs. Chen should pay attention. If there is a good girl, tell him about it. House in the capital Gui, he is currently staying at your house, and when we get married, I will pay to rent a yard with him, and the young couple will move in, and when he earns a yard by himself, I will call his parents to enjoy the blessing."

Wen Wa stuck out her tongue: "Honey, when will I be able to earn a yard by myself!" Then she thanked Song Haonian, "I have a salary, I can save it for a year or so, and I can rent a house."

Chen Bin said with a smile: "You just listen to him, your salary is only worth a few dollars. After renting the house, I'm afraid you won't even have enough to eat. How can you support your family?"

Wen Wa had no choice but to agree, and was very grateful to Song Haonian.

Chen Bin said to Qingsong again: "First, Old Liu told me that Taiping County is a good place, and he would like to retire there. I have allowed him to run a silk and satin shop, and he will live in Taiping County from now on."

It was the first time for Qingsong to hear about this, and he couldn't help being shaken: his parents are both in Taiping County, if shopkeeper Liu also retires in Taiping County, it would be meaningless for him to live alone in the capital.

Unfortunately, the future of the capital city is much greater than that of Taiping County.All men have a heart to make achievements. Song Haonian is a noble person, so he can be indifferent. Qingsong, who started from humble beginnings, has a stronger desire for success than ordinary people.

Qingsong was hesitant, Song Haonian said: "Of course you have to go back to your hometown when you get married. If you want to stay in the capital or your hometown in the future, why don't you go back and discuss with the big guys."

Qingsong is the only male in the old Li's family, I'm afraid that the Li bamboo craftsman and the Zhu family will not let him go far.

The whereabouts of the two little brothers were decided. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Lily made gifts to send them to relatives in their hometown.

Because this was the first time they gave gifts after they came to Beijing, those fresh fabric jewelry in the capital, delicious wine and dried fruits that you can’t see anywhere else, fun and interesting rare utensils, new books issued by the girls’ school...

Lin Lin always loaded several large carts and wrote their names on each one. Chen Bin sent several people to Taiping County together with Wang Jin's errands.

The daughter of Wang Xiaofu and Lamei, the husband and wife had a heated fight over her name, so they wrote to ask Song Haonian to name her.Song Haonian said: "I can't name it." He simply took it to find King Xin.

Xin Wang heard from Song Haonian that he and Wang Xiaofu are sworn brothers and have always had a very good relationship. Lamei is also Lily's sister and lived in their house for several years before getting married, so he first had a good impression of the young couple.Song Haonian asked him to name it, but he didn't refuse, so he took the name properly, and Song Haonian wrote a letter and sent it back, calling it Tingyu.

Song Haonian also disliked it: "It doesn't look like a girl's name."

King Xin smiled and said: "What do you know? For example, Zhilan Yushu, born on the steps of the court, such a good name can be used by both men and women."

Song Haonian grinned: "Of course the name father chooses is good, I just said it casually. Later, when my wife and I have another child, I will have to ask father to name it."

King Xin is very happy.

This time Lily went back to give presents, not even the little ones such as Xing'er, Ju'er, Yuanyuan and Tingyu were left behind.

People are sent here to give gifts, and people from my hometown also send gifts. The family's flower dew, melons and fruits, New Year's pork, home-made pickles, sausages, stewed meat, and dried wild vegetables are all packaged and sent.

Although everyone knows that Song Haonian has no shortage of food and clothing in the capital, after all, it is a heart, Song Haonian and his wife only have gratitude.

Lily steamed a piece of bacon, fried Chinese toon sprouts, and stewed a pheasant soup. Song Haonian was very happy to eat, and said with a smile: "This is the taste of our family."

Liu Yiqiu came up the mountain and shot a lot of pheasants. They had bright feathers and were neatly bundled into bundles. Picking a lily was as real as it was, and he could play with it for a long time.

The rest are put in a vase, which is also very beautiful.Three cousins ​​came to play with Ruzhen, but they couldn't pull it out when they saw it, so Song Haonian simply tied a shuttlecock for each of them and allowed them to kick it in the yard.

The concubine Shi Zi is very well-behaved, the three children played wildly in this yard, sweating profusely from kicking, and only behaved in their own yard when they returned home.Due to the rush of years ago, the imperial concubine had to go to the ceremony, prepare the New Year's show and wine, and have family affairs, so she didn't notice that the children were strange.

One day when she asked about the three nurses of the brothers and sisters, the nurse mentioned that the concubine Shi Zi knew that the children went to Song Haonian's yard to kick shuttlecocks all day long, and she couldn't help complaining: "Playing with things and losing one's ambition, the family laughs and makes a lot of noise all day long, what is it like?" look?"

The prince sighed: "Second elder brother and second sister-in-law will go back to the countryside soon, just because they don't want to fight with us, and let them go."

The concubine was startled: "Go back to the countryside? Life in the capital is good, why do you want to leave?"

The son said: "How do I know what the second brother is thinking? This matter has been cleared before the emperor, and there is no room for change. From now on, we don't have to worry about it."

The concubine Shizi thought blankly, the husband and wife are not fools, are they?Even a fool should know that life in the palace is hundreds of times better than in the countryside.

The concubine Shizi is not the only one who thinks this way, the crown prince and Princess Changping took turns to persuade Song Haonian to think twice, Song Haonian just smiled: "I am not going back to the countryside to suffer, there are those hermits who live in seclusion in the countryside, I will learn They go and enjoy themselves."

The brothers and sisters couldn't persuade them, so they had to discuss with the emperor and King Xin, give him more gold, silver and treasures, and make sure that he can live comfortably in the countryside.

The emperor said: "Brother Xuan should have had the title of King Huaijun. He never mentioned it, and I never told him. Since he wants to go back to the countryside, he will give him all the property that the King of Huaijun deserves, servants and maidservants. It should be fully prepared, and Hugh will wrong him."

Song Haonian thought that when he went back to the countryside, he would bring a wife and children, but he didn't know that his parents, siblings and uncle had already prepared a wealthy family for him.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, all kinds of food, melons and vegetables were also sent from the Huangzhuang. Hanfang still remembered the chickens she fed on the Zhuangzi with her own hands.

The prince was afraid that Hanfang would cry when he saw the black-bone chicken that had been killed and dried, and he was ready to comfort the weeping daughter. Who knew that Hanfang looked at it for a while, pointed to a fat chicken and said: "Father, I fed this chicken before. It's so fat. It must be delicious!"

The son was speechless for a while, and asked someone to pick it out first, and then boiled the black-bone chicken into soup that night, and served it to the king and concubine Xin, which is the filial piety of sister Fang.

The concubine also praised: "The chicken that Sister Fang has fed is extraordinary, and the soup is even more delicious."

Sister Fang was so happy to tell her brothers and sisters everywhere that within two days, the prince and Princess Changping's children were all arguing to find the livestock they had raised, and a sheep they raised was still in the village. Living well, he sighed for a long time: "I can't eat!"

Going back, I muttered to the emperor and said, "I wanted to roast mutton for my grandfather, but it is too small. I will send it to Zhuangzi next year, and I will roast it for my grandfather!"

The emperor laughed and agreed to the matter.
