take a wife to support the family

Chapter 415 The emperor's grandson is in the countryside

In the blink of an eye, in the twelfth lunar month, Qingsong sent a letter back from the capital, saying that he and Wenwa had made a small contribution in Liaodong, not to mention being praised by the town governor, the emperor even praised him a few words.

Qingsong said: "I didn't embarrass my brother-in-law!"

Song Haonian said with a smile: "I didn't do anything big, he has grown up now and is better than me."

Qingsong also knew from Mu San that Princess Zhaoren and several grandsons including He Zhen had gone to the countryside, so she had to say a few words: "The emperor and the prince are really big-hearted. My father-in-law brought Yueniang to our county. I'm still very worried, for fear that my daughter will be embarrassing to some disrespectful bastard."

Lily said angrily, "He's the one who talks too much! How can he see clearly the plan of the emperor and prince?"

Along with Qingsong Xin, there are also many New Year's goods, such as flower-like fabrics and jewelry in the capital, and New Year's goods that were not seen in Taiping County before, etc. Qingsong, a mad man, can't pack such a glamorous gift. handwriting.

Lily divided the New Year's goods into several parts and sent them to her parents and two younger sisters. Everyone said that Yueniang was capable and filial, and Qingsong married a good wife.

Apart from Qingsong's letter, Xu Caiwen also brought back a letter.Yueniang arranged for him to meet Dou Wuniang, and Wenwa wrote to discuss with his parents: "Everything is fine, except that he looks more ordinary."

The land of Qingliu Town has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the girls raised are quite pretty, even the Yueniang married by Qingsong is also beautiful, Wenwa never thought that she could marry an ugly girl.

Speaking of which, Dou Wuniang was not ugly at all, with straight and generous features, but northern girls inevitably have bigger bones, and their skin is not as greasy as those in Taiping County, so Wenwa is a little dissatisfied.

That Miss Dou said to him graciously: "I know that I am ordinary-looking. If you look down on me, you don't have to think of other excuses. Just say it straight. I will explain to my mother, so that she will not always think of me. It looks so good."

No matter how brainless Wen Wa is, she wouldn't dislike her for being unattractive in front of other girls. Looking at how this girl speaks and acts, she is indeed straightforward and generous, which is satisfying. It would be a pity to let go of her like this.

After Lily finished reading the letter, Wen Wa's mother was angry and laughed, and scolded from the air: "It's his eyes that grow in the sky! How beautiful are his parents, and how beautiful is he himself? Can he be good-looking for food or not?" As money?"

Wenwa knows her family's situation. It's not bad for her son to marry a daughter-in-law like Dou Wuniang. No wonder Wen Wa Niang got angry.

"You said, it's fine if the girl is ugly, but she's not ugly, she just looks more ordinary. He's a country boy, and he wants to marry a fairy?"

But no matter how anxious Wen Wa's mother got angry, she couldn't grab her son's ears and scold her immediately, so she had to pack some things, and send them to the capital together with the freshly smoked bacon, stuffed sausages, and the things Lily prepared for Qingsong.

Naturally, it is necessary to write a letter, telling him to be less frivolous. The first thing to consider when marrying a wife is character, the second is ability, the most important thing is whether you can live well, and the last is appearance.

Song Haonian and Baihe not only want to give gifts to their brother-in-law, but also to the emperor, Xin Wang and others.

This year Zhaoren brought a few children here, and the children were writing assistants. Zhaoren reported the progress of the girls' school on the paper, so it was naturally considered a gift.

Lily worried for several days: The emperor is rich in the world, there is nothing in this world that he has never experienced or seen. They have a lot of good things in the storeroom, but most of them were given by the palace and the palace, and they did not give gifts to the elders with the rewards of the elders. reason.

She was worried, and she didn't allow Song Haonian to be carefree, and Lily didn't allow Song Haonian to think about Dun Lun at night, she insisted on finding a way out first.Song Haonian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the husband and wife thought of it together, and they really came up with a solution: they are juniors, don't ask for expensive gifts, the most important thing is their intentions.

So I made a pair of close-fitting clothes for the emperor's couple and Xinwang's couple. Thanks to Zhaoren's presence at home, she would know the size - Zhaoren didn't make clothes herself, but she also asked craftsmen to make clothes for the elders in previous years, and she remembered the size clearly.

The prince is the eldest brother, and Princess Changping is the eldest sister. There are also socks and cotton shoes for the two of them. The rest of the brothers are either socks or purses, and they are also very beautiful with mushrooms, game, and fur collected from the mountains. Get the gift of the past.

Zhaoren also said: "If it wasn't for the second elder brother's illness this year, we should have left for Beijing to celebrate the new year. Parents are more than happy to see you, so what gift do you want?"

Song Haonian said: "If I don't see people, the ceremony will always come. Besides, I'm pretty much better now. I'll go back to Beijing next year."

Asking his parents to worry about him, he also panicked in his heart.

Zhaoren and several grandchildren are so old, and it is the first time for them to celebrate the new year. They wrote letters back with freshness, telling their parents that they had a good time at the second uncle's house, and their homework was not missed, so please don't worry.

Yi'an embroidered two purses for her parents, Han Fang and Han Ai embroidered a few laces, Hanzhi was young and wanted to do it too, but he couldn't help it, so in the end Hezhen made crooked ties with her hand in hand .

A few months later, Song Haonian heard that the reason why the crown prince was disheveled by the censor was because of a crooked net hanging around his waist.

The emperor was furious, saying that the imperial censor had been staring at this kind of place all day long, but the Northwest religious patients could not see that they were ashamed of the imperial salary, ashamed of the sages and sages, so they reprimanded them all.

Zhao Ren said: "It's also because the imperial censor is troubled. What's wrong with my eldest brother wearing a lanyard made by a daughter? I heard from my parents that back then, the emperor's uncle put his elder sister on his shoulders to pass the court!"

All the letters and presents were packed, and several carts were sent to the capital. Naturally, the royal family also had rewards and annual gifts.King Xin and Princess Zhou wanted to move the warehouse to Song Haonian, so as to make up for all the grievances he had suffered all these years. In addition, the youngest daughter and granddaughter are also here, so they don't hesitate to reward them.

Song Haonian was worried: "Where can I put these things?"

He is different from Lily, Lily has to discuss things even if he refuses Dunlun, he said when Lily was extremely sleepy after Dunlun.

Lily said: "I see, you are deliberately taking revenge on me."

Song Haonian laughed and rubbed her face: "You have an idea with me."

Lily was so tired, she wondered why this person is still so physically strong even though he is still sick... He said casually, "Why don't you take it out and build a girls' school."

Jiannv's school uses the private houses of the Empress, Princess Changping and Princess Zhaoren. Song Haonian thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he kept it in mind.

Talking to Zhaoren the next day, Zhaoren was surprised: "We have enough money, and you don't need to pay for it."

In Zhaoren's heart, the second brother had a hard time in the early years, and she wished to subsidize him with her parents, how could she want his belongings?
Song Haonian said: "It's a good thing for you guys to run a women's school, and I have the right to accumulate blessings for my daughter."

Zhaoren looked at Lily, and Lily blushed, "My daughter is still there!" Then she said, "If you let me run this women's school, I can't do nothing. As you can see, we live in the country, and we have nothing to do with it." There is not much cost, and there are not many people. Those gold, silver, round and flat ones are accumulated in the warehouse and moldy. Second, you should be more relaxed."

Only then did Zhaoren agree, and Lily and Lily picked out the property without the special seal of the royal family and asked people to exchange it for cash. The account of the female student was a little nervous. Zhaoren was planning to act like a baby with the emperor and waive the craftsman's fee. Now There is no need to be so troublesome.

Not only is the craftsman's fee paid, but the female students can cover it after a few years of repairing.

Zhaoren also discussed with Baihe about setting up a scholarship: "In the Imperial College, every year, if they do well in their studies, Uncle Huang will set up an extra bonus for them. Our girls' school can do the same!"

The women's school in Taiping County is no better than those in Beijing and North Zhili. The women's school in Beijing has scholarships, and Zhaoren has a lot of money in his hands, so he didn't think of setting up scholarships here at first.Now it is easy to take out scholarships, just for this money, girls in Taiping County can also have more opportunities to study.

At the end of the year, Ruchun turned one year old, and all the brothers and sisters in the room watched him scratch, he didn't like to move, he grabbed a pen nearby and held it in his hand, those toys on the table were cheap for Hanzhi and Ruzhen.

Ruzhen whispered to Hanzhi: "My brother is so lazy."

Song Haonian corrected him: "Brother Chun is Wen Jing, you are an older brother, you shouldn't speak ill of your younger brother."

Ruzhen giggled: "Brother pure is lazy, brother real is bad!"

Song Haonian had no choice but to pinch his nose, "That's right, you little rascal!"

As soon as Ruchun's birthday is over, New Year's Eve is approaching. Song Haonian paid homage to the ancestors of the Song family in previous years, but later on he knew that he was not the son of the Song family, so he never did so again.

He didn't know that someone in the Song family whispered that they were afraid that the Song family couldn't bear him worshiping for so many years, and that God had ruined the blessings of old man Song and his wife.

However, Song Haonian's family doesn't have images of ancestors to worship now, so Hezhen washes his hands and burns incense, writes the names of the following ancestors according to the Taimiao style, hangs them in the main room, and everyone kneels down to worship.

After paying homage to the ancestors, there are water noodles and dumplings to eat, and when the birthday comes, gnaw on the soft pig's trotters.Song Haonian took Hezhen and Ruzhen to the yard to set off firecrackers. The firecrackers in their house were extremely loud, and several boxes of fireworks sent by the palace were lit up, causing everyone in the town to scramble to watch them.

Ruzhen was jumping around in the yard, Hezhen hurriedly pulled him behind him to avoid being caught by the fireworks, Lily covered Hanzhi's ears, when he turned around, he saw Ruchun covering his ears by himself, without the help of her and Mrs. Chang , couldn't help laughing.

After the firecrackers were set off, the children couldn't wait to go back to their own room, and they were all asleep on the kang in the east chamber. Song Haonian carried them back to their room one by one, and no one woke up.

In the morning of the second day, as soon as I woke up, I ate lucky oranges and said congratulations. Neighbors and neighbors congratulated each other. The children had never celebrated the New Year like this in the capital.
