Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 362 "Daughter-in-law Tea"

"Queer pays homage to sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please drink tea..."

Que'er, who had just been promoted to a married woman, took off her girl's hair accessories, and her jet-black hair was tied into a woman's bun. Although there was still a trace of childishness on her face, her gestures revealed the elegance and calmness of a lady.

She is one year younger than Erlang, so she has been made a daughter-in-law at such a young age, in the eyes of a modern person like Su Yun, it is natural that she should be taken care of.After all, in her opinion, it is very early to get married at the age of 17.

Besides, people are far away from their hometown, and their parents and relatives come to Youzhou. If they don't care more, wouldn't it be too pitiful?

And Su Yun is also very satisfied with this sister-in-law, so his words are very gentle.After taking the tea from Wang Que Xiaojing, he took a sip and took out a red envelope, a pair of gold tables, a gold ring, a piece of jewelry, a pair of gold earrings, a pair of pearl earrings, a The jade bead necklace was handed to Wang Que and said: "Good boy, get up quickly. I hope you can guard against arrogance and impetuosity in the future, and abide by my Lu family's family motto. Respect your brothers and sisters-in-law, caress your younger brothers and sisters, and open branches and leaves for my Lu family early."

"Yes, sister-in-law, Que'er remembered..."

Wang Que's face turned red, seeing her shy look, Su Yun smiled unkindly.

In a blink of an eye, she remembered what she said just now, and said: "Just now what my sister-in-law said was only on the scene, it's all rules, you don't have to be so cautious, just treat this place as your natal family, as long as you don't ruin the family style, you can be more casual."

"Yes, sister-in-law!"

Wang Que responded with a shy smile, and her face turned redder when she heard Su Yun's laughter.

After drinking this cup of "daughter-in-law tea" and giving all the gifts that should be given, the family sat around and had a meal.

Since this was Que'er's first official family dinner after getting started, Su Yun cooked all the meals this morning.

Although her stomach is already big, but thinking that this is the first daughter-in-law in this family, she still gets up early and prepares hard.

The noodles were made last night, and the skin jelly was made a long time ago, so the pan-fried buns and soup buns on the dinner table today are also convenient to make.In addition to these, Su Yun also prepared preserved egg and lean meat porridge, fat cakes, Sixi meatballs, noodles, soy milk and bean curd, and finally served with a few refreshing side dishes, which filled the table. The new daughter-in-law, son, also clicked her tongue secretly.

Her own birth is not too bad, her grandfather and father both work in Fuyun Building, the boss treats them very well, the annual dividends are very considerable, her family is considered rich no matter what.But compared with this family's Chaofan, it's obviously not enough.

As if seeing Que'er's mind, Su Yun said with a smile: "This is your first formal meal, so it's a bit richer."

After speaking, he laughed again, and said: "It's always a great event for the new wife to enter the door. No matter what, she has to eat it open for a few days. Compared with those dukes and princes' palaces, we are considered a frugal place."

"Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law did all this for you, and we are all in your honor."

Lu Shi smiled and served himself a bowl of Sixi meatballs, "Otherwise, the Sixi meatballs would not be made on non-festive days."

"Hey, can you talk? Que'er is married to our Erlang, that's a happy day."

Su Yun rolled his eyes at Lu Shi, then turned his head and smiled at Que'er: "Sister and sister, don't bother with your elder brother, he is just a clumsy person."

Que'er waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, elder brother is bold by nature, how can Que'er care?"

Seeing the pear blossom dimple on Que'er's face, Su Yun showed deep envy with that sweet smile.

The girl likes such a sweet look the most, why didn't she give us two dimples after rebirth?
A meal ended in such a pleasant atmosphere, and in the following days, because of Su Yun's "not particular" and "casual", Que'er's originally lively temperament reappeared, and soon Into this big family.

After Lu Erlang got married, Lu Shi also found a vacancy for him in the Governor's Mansion. When a man marries a wife, he should start a career.Moreover, Erlang is a mature and steady man, now that his daughter-in-law is married, he is an adult, and it is time to find something for him to hone his skills.

Speaking of which, this job is quite suitable for Erlang, who is a document for recording money, grain, tax and silver in the official office.Erlang is steady and tactful, although his enlightenment is late, his talent is not as monstrous as his two younger brothers, but because he is willing to work hard and study hard, his knowledge is still good.

In addition, Su Yun has taught him a lot and instilled a lot of knowledge for later generations, such as the simplest four arithmetic operations, so he is completely fine with recording and arithmetic.

Although Lu Erlang was not born in a serious academic class, there is a clear distinction between officials and officials in this era. Lu Shi only arranged for him to be a clerk, which would not cause too much criticism.

After all, an official is an official, and at the end of his life, he was a seventh-rank county magistrate. As the younger brother of Governor Lu, he was only assigned a small job as a clerical officer. On the contrary, everyone felt that Governor Lu was quite fair.After all, they are also officials, and if they don't remove one of the six house officials and let their own brothers take over, then they are just people.

The time soon came to the fifth month of the lunar calendar. Su Yun's belly was too big to move around, and she estimated the time by herself. She was found pregnant in September last year, and she was about 2 months pregnant at that time, that is to say, she She was pregnant in July, but because of her poor health, she would occasionally experience amenorrhea, and she didn't have any symptoms of pregnancy, so she didn't know she had it.

Now it is the beginning of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and it is already the tenth month of pregnancy, so it is about time for the baby to come down, right?
Thinking of the ancient medical conditions and this is the first child, Su Yun felt very nervous.

In ancient times, giving birth to a child was like going through the gate of hell. This is not a joke, just talking nonsense.

Don't you see, there was no family planning in ancient times, and there was little entertainment. After everyone finished eating, the rich didn't care about the money for lamp oil and candles, and could read a book or watch a ditty; but in this ordinary family, after eating, it was dark. Okay, nothing to do, so what are you doing?Isn't that just man-made?

In this way, the population in ancient China rarely exceeded 1 million before the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Firstly, the productivity was backward, and food could only support so many people at most; secondly, it was too difficult to have children in ancient times. , Many mothers died in this pass, and the children in their wombs could not be kept. Even if they were forced to give birth, due to the weak body of the pregnant women, the child would probably die young.

So being able to grow up in ancient times is really a great blessing.

Thinking of this, Su Yun became a little restless. Her legs were already a little swollen due to pregnancy. Every time she pressed down, a mark would sink in. It took a long time to recover, and she couldn't walk anymore. I need Lu Shi's help to get up on the bed...

Facing all kinds of inconveniences and the imminent birth date, Su Yun became more and more irritable day by day...
