The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 89
Xu Sanlang is a pawn in Maliuyi who is in charge of the post office. The more recent years have passed, the busier they are making money. During this period, the higher authorities will be more relaxed, and they will accept money for some letters from the people to follow the official route.

Every day he could receive one or two coins, and Xu Sanlang guarded this position very vigorously. It was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and there were still people coming to deliver letters.

Xu Sanlang took the letter and looked at the destination, the capital?

He raised his eyes and said, "Six hundred Wen." Looking at the package in the kid's hand in front of him, he said, "If you want to send this, you have to pay more."

Fengnian said: "How much more."

Xu Sanlang: "Three hundred Wen."

Now it's worth a thousand coins, and I really can't give anything during the Chinese New Year.

When going out, the lady gave me a tael of silver, Feng Nian said: "Three hundred Wen is three hundred Wen."

"Your family, do you have relatives in the capital?" Xu Sanlang said while collecting all the things, "Now there are still horses running around the capital. If it is two days later, there will be no horses in the capital."

Feng Nian casually mumbled the past, and then left after paying the money.

After arriving home, An Xu asked, "No receipt?"

Feng Nian shook his head.

"Then when will it be delivered?"

Fengnian shook his head again: "They didn't say anything, and I didn't think to ask." He felt a little ashamed that he didn't get things done well.

An Xu waved his hand: "It's nothing, I'm just asking. Take your sister and Cheng'er to play."

Don't expect any formal logistics system at all. Whether the things given to Mr. Gu can be delivered to the capital smoothly depends on the postmen who are in charge of the goods at the post post.

But I was really responsible. On 26, I went to the pier to pack the bags. After boarding the boat, I walked by water for several days, and arrived in the capital at [-] o'clock.

Because the fee was relatively high, and the imperial court was in charge of the post office, they even sent it to Gu's residence.

At that time, Mr. Gu was being visited by a group of disciples who were still in the capital. These people talked about the case of the Huaiyang Mansion investigated by the King of Jin before, and carefully asked him about the emperor's understanding of these kings with different surnames and clan princes in the Ming Dynasty. What kind of attitude is it.

Gu Wei had taught the emperor for a period of time and knew his temperament. He was more afraid of the clan princes who could share the land and control the local finances than the kings with different surnames.

In order to keep the throne, Wen Yan is now willing to be a knife to slaughter the king, but in the end he will be the one who will be slaughtered.

Gu Wei didn't want to talk about these things that couldn't be judged as good or bad, so he advised these students a few words.

As for whether they listened to their hearts, it was beyond his control.

"Stop, what are you holding in your hand?" Gu Wei suddenly stood up and asked a servant who was carrying large and small packages outside the door.

The servant quickly stopped and turned to the house, and said: "Master, it was sent from the post station. The ones from De'an Mansion are all for you."

As soon as Gu Wei heard about De'an Mansion, he guessed who sent it.

After receiving the thick letter, seeing the handwriting on it, he smiled: "It's a good thing this kid didn't forget Master."

Look at the big package again, it must be the food made by Miss An.

Thinking about it, Gu Wei directly opened it with his hands, and surprised all the students.

The package was opened, and the first thing that was exposed inside was a bundle of twisted flowers tied with oiled paper.

The twists are as big as an adult's forearm, but they are golden in color and look very fluffy.

Just as Gu Wei picked up the oiled paper package, a piece of paper fell out, and all the snacks in the package were explained in detail. Some of the snacks that are not durable to storage may lose a lot of taste when they arrive in the capital, and there are recipes attached.

That cannabis flower, which is yogurt cannabis flower, also has a recipe.

Gu Wei looked at it, and broke open one. Under the fluffy skin was a rich but liquid yogurt.

He has eaten yogurt, and the Great Mongolia pays tribute every year. Among them is a dessert called old yogurt, which is especially loved by the granddaughter and several daughters in the family.

Gu Wei was not so loyal, but he still put a yogurt twist into his mouth without hesitation.

Fluffy and soft with a slight crispness, the greasy feeling is neutralized by the unique flavor of yogurt before it reaches the taste buds.

Gu Wei nodded while eating, and he couldn't exactly feel how wronged he was by eating before without taking a bite of the good snacks made by An Yatou.

The students were all decent people, but they couldn't help swallowing when they saw the teacher's mouthful.

Gu Wei took out a marijuana flower and said, "You guys share it."

Several students looked at each other in blank dismay, teacher, you are not such a picky person.

Gu Weicai didn't care what they thought, and asked the boy to repack the unpacked package, and went to the backyard with Zong Che's article in one hand and food in the other.

"Teacher, we," one person shouted.

Gu Weidao: "Thirty on New Year's Eve, everyone should go home."

When the teacher was far away, a person said: "I heard that this time the teacher visited De'an Mansion and took in another disciple. Did the food come from the younger brother?"

When Gu Wei arrived in the backyard, his wife, Mrs. Lu, was playing leaf cards with several daughters-in-law at home. When the master came back, the daughters-in-law didn't dare to stay any longer, and they all got up and left after a while.

Mrs. Lu ordered his servants to clean up the table, got up and went to the back room, saw a table full of food exuding all kinds of tempting aromas, and asked, "Where did these come from?"

Gu Wei proudly said: "My new disciple sent it."

Mrs. Lu sat over and asked, "The one in De'an Mansion is very knowledgeable and has a sister who is good at cooking?"

Gu Wei nodded, "It's a pity, they don't want to come to the capital with me."

As he spoke, he unpacked a package with three words of crispy fruit slices written on it, handed it to his wife and said, "Try it."

Mrs. Lu smiled, but she didn't care about it in her heart. A girl who grew up in the countryside, no matter how good her handicrafts can be, what can she do.

This crispy fruit slice is thin, and you can smell the sweet and sour taste when you put it on your lips. Lu Shi didn't eat it right away, but asked: "What is this made of?"

Gu Wei searched for a recipe, and there really was one. He said, "Apple is baked at a low temperature. Ma'am, just eat it at ease, that girl won't make unreliable things."

Lu Shi took a bite, it was crispy, and the sweet taste was much richer than eating apples alone, "Didn't you say that your little disciple's family is relatively poor? Why do you still have money to buy apples?"

The cultivation of apples in Daming is not yet popular, and they are generally grown in wealthy families, and many of these people's cultivation is not for sale.

Some families have a large number of people. Even if they have a special orchard, the annual harvest is not enough for several houses in the family.

Gu Wei was not surprised, and said: "That girl is good at cooking, how many apples can she still earn?"

Mrs. Lu glanced at her husband with a smile, slowly ate the fruit slices, and said, "Although you are the teacher, but the disciples sent the annual gift, we can't just return nothing. Do you know what they need the most?"

Gu Wei was eating dried vegetables, which are more delicious than dried fruits. Hearing this, he thought for a while and said, "They should be lacking in books. I'll look for them later, and find out the books on recipes and classics at home. Send it to the girl. Also, the newly published Cheng Wen in the study outside, and my two new scriptures, give it to that kid."

After listening to it for a long time, Mrs. Lu had nothing but books, got up and said, "Then I will prepare some things that can be used in daily life. Don't let people think that worshiping a teacher is the same as not worshiping a teacher."

"If they don't worship me as a teacher, can they have so many books to read?" Gu Wei said sincerely.

Mrs. Lu ignored it, and was about to walk out the door, suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked: "Master, you student, are you from De'an Mansion?"

Gu Wei said: "People from Chipu County, De'an Prefecture, what's wrong?"

"What a coincidence." The astonishment on Lu's face couldn't be concealed, she turned back and sat down, and said in a low voice, "One of my cousins ​​married into Duke Qi's mansion, do you still remember?"

"I have an impression," Gu Wei thought for a while and said.

This one who was stupefied with reading, Mrs. Lu didn't bother with him, and said: "My third younger sister is married to Rong Min, the youngest son of Duke Qi's mansion. When she came to visit our house yesterday afternoon, she told me something."

Gu Wei still knew his wife well. Hearing this tone, he knew there was something big inside, and said, "Say it straight."

Mrs. Lu choked, and said: "Rongci, Duke of Qi, his eldest son was actually replaced by the son of a servant. He found out some time ago, but their family has kept it a secret. If the third sister hadn't mentioned it, I really don't have time to think about it." .”

Every time Gu Wei listened to his wife's words, he would feel grateful that she didn't have to take the imperial examination, otherwise she would be able to walk three miles away with her words, and if she really took the exam, she would definitely be the last one.

"Besides, the old lady of the Duke's Mansion locked Mrs. Guogong, and she turned around and went to the place where Mrs. Guogong gave birth. She was thinking about finding the remains of the child," Lu said emphatically. Sighing, "Who knew that the child was still alive. It is said that it was picked up by an old couple who were chopping firewood. They raised the child under such dilapidated conditions. But the reason why Mrs. Qi Guogong threw the child away was because she was born. When you come down, you will lose your breath, and you won’t develop it if you ask a doctor to rectify it. Now, you say it’s irritating or not.”

Gu Wei nodded and said, "Madam, what do you want to say when you talk about them?"

"You still need me to explain?" Lu blamed, "That child is also from Chipu County, De'an Prefecture. My third sister said that the old lady found the child in the letter sent back a few days ago and asked Duke Qi to prepare it. I sent some things. It seems that in order to accompany that child, I don’t plan to come back for a year.”

Gu Weidao: "This is quite a coincidence."

It is indeed a coincidence.

Qi Guogong, who had just set foot in the boundary of Jipu County that day, was drinking tea at a roadside wild shop. Many shops were closed on New Year's Eve, and they searched for a long time to find such a shop.

Accompanying Rongci to go out was Dai Shi, his favorite concubine. Dai Shi was born slender and thin, looked gentle and gentle, but his mouth was very eloquent.

Along the way, she always raises doubts intentionally or unintentionally, doubts about whether a thin and weak child can be raised smoothly in a poor farmer's family, doubts about how the wife could be willing to throw away the child who is obviously angry, and doubts about the old man. People doubt that the process of finding the child was too smooth.

He succeeded in calming down Rong Ci who was agitated when he first learned that the eldest son was still alive.

The woman wore a hooded fox fur cloak, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Master, let's go. No matter what the real result is, we should get there before dark. It's best to get the old lady first." Come on, let's talk about it first."

Rong Ci patted her hand and said: "If mother sees you unhappy and says something, don't take it to heart."

There are several concubines in the Duke's Mansion, and the old lady never said which one she liked and which one she didn't like, but she was annoyed even by looking at this concubine whom the eldest son married five years ago.

Usually when she was in the mansion, she was not allowed to visit him.

Rong Ci knew that bringing Dai Shi with him might displease his mother, but Dai Shi is too weak and has never had children around, if he goes out, there is no serious master in the house, and he is very worried that she will be killed by those A concubine with a son is in a dilemma.

Dai said with a smile: "The concubine knows it. Don't worry, my lord. After all, the old lady is your mother. She should reprimand the concubine no matter what."

In the afternoon, the originally sunny and cloudless weather picked up wind, so An Xu asked to move the two dishes that had been placed in the yard to the house.

Mrs. Rong looked at the sky and said with a smile: "A snowy night is more like New Year's Eve. If it snows, the meaning of Chinese New Year will be even stronger."

An Xu still likes sunny days, the sun makes people warm all over.

Hearing what she said, Granny Zhao laughed and said, "That's because you can't get tanned. If you change a girl, she wouldn't dare to stay in the sun. But it's really good for the snow to fall, but don't make it too big."

While talking, Feng Nian, who was peeling eggs at the door, said to the kitchen shed: "Miss, someone is coming, it seems that they are heading towards our house."

Mrs. Rong thought to herself, it must be that son this time, and if he doesn't reach thirty, he still wants to finish the New Year?
"I'll go take a look." He said and walked out.

An Xu didn't take it to heart, Mrs. Rong had been waiting anxiously for the past two days, and she had to go to the door to have a look from time to time.

She mixed two kinds of stuffing, one with vegetarian stuffing and cabbage stuffing, and the other stuffing with radish and pork. She wanted to make all the dumplings for tomorrow at noon today, so she kneaded two large doses of noodles.

Just after rolling out a dough, he casually handed it to Zong Che, who had already washed his hands and was waiting to make dumplings, when he heard the voice of the old lady trembling with anger from the door.

"I asked you to come and see my son. What are you doing with such a thing?"

An Xu was startled when she heard the contempt in the three characters of stuff, she had never heard the old lady say anything in such a tone.

Mother Qiu also sensed that something was wrong, so she quickly put down the work she was doing and walked out.

An Xu wanted to put down the rolling pin to have a look, but Zong Che made the dumplings seriously, obviously distracted, but still pinched the dough as calmly as a mountain, and said to An Xu, "What are you going to do?"

"have a look."

"It's nothing to look at. I guess Qi Guogong came with his concubine. From the tone of Mrs. Rong's tone, she must not like that woman, and even think her son is ashamed. You go, don't you?" Make the atmosphere more awkward?"

"Besides, it's not easy for outsiders to manage other people's family affairs." As he spoke, he adjusted the seams of the dumplings that were crooked, put them on the curtain, looked at An Xu and said, "Roll the dumplings."

An Xu felt that what he said made sense, but he was a little unconvinced. He rolled out a piece of dough and threw it into his open palm, "Why do you seem to know everything."

Zong Che curled his lips and smiled, "Because I have a brain."

An Xu: - - -
Zhao Cheng and An Chong were also sitting by the chopping board, waiting to make dumplings, but after looking at each other for a while, neither of them spoke.

Is Brother Che saying that my sister has no brains?They'd better sit around, so as not to be affected.

Granny Zhao peeled the garlic, and glanced at the gate from time to time. Except for the two words that the old lady couldn't help saying loudly, the people in the yard behind couldn't hear the voices outside the door clearly.

Dao Xiang couldn't help being curious, and secretly peeped at the door frame to look out, and then saw a woman in a cloak that was whiter than snow, kneeling in front of the old lady with tears in her eyes, and beside her was a woman in a cloak The tall man in the green cloak, with a distressed look on his face, was anxiously talking to the old lady.

Daoxiang was still young, so she didn't hear or understand clearly, but this scene was deeply engraved in her mind.

"Daoxiang, come here." Fengnian saw it, and hurried to drag his sister to the yard.

In his opinion, that Qi Guogong has a problem with his brain, because a woman made his mother angry, so he can't let his younger sister learn badly.

In about five or six minutes, Mother Qiu came back with the old lady who looked good when she hadn't gone out, followed by a tall man.

An Xu took a visual inspection and found that this man was at least 1.8 meters tall, making him the tallest man she had ever seen.

Of the boys in my family, Zongche is currently the tallest, at around 1.7m1.8, but he is not yet twenty, and it will be no problem to grow to [-]m[-]. His younger brother Xiaochong is only about the same height as her, not to mention that he has been suffering all the time. It's a good year.

Looking at the men in the village, the tallest one was not much taller than Zong Che.

Compared with the noble father of the country, who is poor, I am afraid it is the nutrition of the growing period.

These guys have to keep drinking milk in the future, but An Jia's lactation period is almost over. Although the current milk production has not decreased, it will decrease one day.

I have to buy a few cows, and then buy a piece of land in the mountains to feed the cows and chickens, at least to ensure that the boys in the family grow tall.

For a moment, An Xu's thoughts ran far away, and then his eyes collided with Qi Guogong unexpectedly. After looking at it head-on, he found that the Duke of the State that Mrs. Rong mentioned before was about thirty years old.

At this age, in An Xu's opinion, both men and women are in their prime, but Mrs. Rong's Duke of Qi makes her feel like an old man whose grandson is old.

The hand was pulled, and An Xu looked suspiciously at the person who pulled her, Zong Che.

Zong Che: Don't look at everyone in a daze.

An Xu: Where is it?It's just that I haven't seen such a handsome uncle for a long time, just take a second look, and the main reason is that I have never seen such a tall man in the village.

But I have to say that the charm of a man is also clearly proportional to his height.

"This is Miss An who helped my mother find the child?" Qi Guogong said.

An Xu always felt that these words contained more meanings. It seemed that she suspected that she was deceiving her?
"It's not a help, it's just a coincidence. I heard someone use Cheng'er's life experience to play tricks, and pointed it out. I didn't expect Cheng'er to have a relationship with you."

These few words, every single word is like crisp beans, Qi Guogong, who is rarely answered in such a way, can't react for a while.

Just as he was about to say something, his foot was trampled hard, Rong Ci looked down at the old mother, and the old mother returned her stern gaze.

Rong Ci had no choice but to endure the pain in his feet, raised his hands and bent down, and bowed to a little girl who was nearly half his junior, "Whether it's a coincidence or not, thank you for your kindness."

Mrs. Rong nodded with a smile, it sounded like a human being said, and waved: "Cheng'er, come and have a look, this is your father."

Father was an unfamiliar name to Zhao Cheng. He walked up to his grandmother, looked up at the man for a while, and felt a pain in his neck.

Is this the father?Tall as a mountain.

Meeting the child's eyes, Rong Ci's heart was also touched, and he had completely put aside what Dai Shi said on the road.

He understood why his mother recognized the child with such certainty, because he was indeed the blood of their Rong family.

The child's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to his father, the late old Duke.

Rong Ci stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the child's head.

Zhao Cheng dodged back unconsciously, pulled the old lady's sleeve, and only called out strangely: "Hi, father."

Rong Ci's heart shivered, and he nodded: "Father brought you a lot of food and play, if you like it or not, just tell me."

Mrs. Rong said: "Go and meet my Zhao family sister again, she will be your elder in the future, treat her as you would treat me."

Rong Ci said: "It should," and met a big gift in the past.

Granny Zhao didn't hide, she couldn't embarrass Cheng'er, she stretched out her hand to help her and said, "Get up quickly."

Dai waited outside in the cold wind for a long time, thinking that the father-in-law was questioning the child's identity, but he didn't expect that the father-in-law who was waiting came out with a smile on his face and a little boy in his hand.

"Master," Dai Shi stepped forward with suppressed surprise.

Seeing the delicate and weak concubine's room at this time, Duke Qi finally understood why his mother was so angry just now.

Qianli came to see his son who had been living outside since he was a child, but brought a concubine with him. This was not only disrespecting his son, but also promoting the identity of this concubine.

"Chen Zhong, first escort Auntie to the town to find a place to live." Rong Ci said, without looking at Dai's pale little face that was about to cry for a moment, he lowered his head and said to his son, "Cheng'er, go and see what father gave you. I have a little bow and arrow, and there are many breeds of BMWs at home, and my father will pick the best foal for you when I go back."

His gentleness at this time is completely different from the gentleness he treats himself, and he is much closer. Can a child be so important?
But in the past, the father-in-law was not so kind to the second young master and those concubine young masters.

Reluctantly, Dai got into the car, with one hand unconsciously placed on his stomach.

Why can't she get pregnant? If she can also give birth to his child, none of the children the government already has can compare with her son.

It is said that the madam had to bring back a healthy baby boy back then, because at that time the Duke had a favorite concubine who was also pregnant.

Dai has inquired that the concubine Xu back then was not as good as half of her and the father-in-law now.

Such a woman who doesn't love much can scare the Duke's wife, which can also explain why the Duke never cared much about her two sons before.

Now he treats the outsider well, probably because he has suffered a lot of grievances that he shouldn't have to suffer, and the old lady loves this child very much.

Dai Shi walked and thought all the way, and his mood gradually improved.
