Chapter 342
Listening to them discussing Nianfu's marriage, Shi Gui was still a little confused. Who would his cousin marry? This question was not what he should ask. Seeing that Mr. Shi made a little rabbit, he also tried to get the materials.
Although it is not as good as my grandfather, he is very skillful. After trying it a few more times, he actually made it very similar.
Mr. Shi was very satisfied and touched his head, "When you go to study and learn more skills, you will definitely be better than grandpa in the future."
During the days I lived in the Puyuan, Ouyang Kang had already taken them to visit Mr. Huang. He was indeed a very down-to-earth and serious person, and he was not a stubborn person. He would not look down on the hard-working people just because he was a scholar.
The two elders of the family were very satisfied after meeting and chatting with others. They immediately gave the ceremony of apprenticeship and made an appointment to attend class after the holiday.
Shi Gui blushed to his grandfather and said shyly, "It would be great if I could make tofu like my grandfather."
Mr. Shi said, "What's so great about making tofu? It's not as good as your cousin. Look how good her food is?"
When it comes to this, Nianfu remembered something, "Who said that making tofu is nothing great? Grandpa, you are too weak. In the past, we were a small business and couldn't make it bigger. If we make the tofu business bigger, such as water tofu old tofu
, all the dried tofu skins and tofu flowers are built, and a tofu shop may not be without the business, right?"
This is a very good idea. Shi Gui's eyes lit up, "Then I must study hard and try to open such a tofu shop in the future."
Only then did the ambition be. The family was talking and laughing, but someone came to give gifts.
First there were Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and the Cui family, which were the families they gave gifts early in the morning, and they were nothing more than things that were suitable for the holidays. Later, Princess Zhenshun gave a generous gift to Princess Zhenshun's mansion.
Hui Niang has seen the world now, but she still feels it is a bit heavy. "We haven't sent anything, why did she get such a heavy gift? I'm afraid she has to add some more, right?"
Nianfu knew that he was thanking her for her advice on how to give birth to a son by adjusting her diet, and said with a smile. "No need to do it for now, I'll talk about it later if I have the chance."
Hui Niang looked at her daughter, "That day the princess came, what did you say when you closed the door? Don't just make people happy, right? This is a bad idea."
But Mu Shaoqin said very indulgently, "It is also a skill to be able to make people happy."
Hui Niang rolled her eyes. "Don't spoil her too much."
Mu Shaoqin laughed in his heart, only one daughter, whom she didn't spoil her? But he no longer argued with his wife. He was about to change the topic and relieve his daughter, but he heard that someone had come to Poyuan.
Nianfu thought Ouyang Kang would come in person, but he didn't expect that the only one who came was Lin, who also brought the dumplings and lanterns made in the broken garden and sent back the gift, "Although the things are average, it is our intention.
.”
Seeing her talking, she kept glanced at her, Nianfu knew that she had something to say to her. She smiled unconsciously. That gentleman had learned to use this trick. She wanted to lead her.
Mrs. Lin went down to speak, but Princess Yongning and his wife came.
Princess Yongning, who came to Pingwang Mansion again, was obviously in a good mood and came to thank my uncle and grandpa's family with a lot of gifts.
"...I've lost all my fault this time. I'm fine. I could sit up and eat and talk yesterday. I heard that my aunt saved him and was going to thank him in person, but I was afraid that his old injury would recur.
So I urged me and my son-in-law to come."
Mu Shaoqin smiled and said, "It's mainly due to the military doctor. Your aunt is just a helper. There is really no need to be so polite. Besides, he is a relative, so how can he not help?"
It's almost done to say politely. Princess Yongning and his wife looked at each other. The prince-in-law Lin Chang'an stood up and bowed to Mu Shaoqin and his wife carefully. "Actually, this time we came, we still have some reluctance.
please."
Even though Hui Niang learned the rules for a few days, her nature was difficult to change, and her face suddenly changed. But Mu Shaoqin was still calm and said, "If you have something to say, please tell me."
Lin Changan looked at Nian Fu again and said with a hint of embarrassment, "I asked my aunt to help save people that day. Although I was in a hurry to follow the power, it still affected my aunt's reputation. So, we still want to do it for me today.
That little brother proposed marriage to his aunt."
Alas! Mrs. Lin took a deep breath. Although they were all surnamed Lin, she was determined not to stand on the same side of the same surname. How could this prince-in-law propose marriage to their sister Mu? Sister Mu was their eldest son.
, No one can rob it!
Nianfu was also surprised. She just looked at her upper body, so she wouldn't have to take responsibility, right?
But Mu Shaoqin had already replied calmly, "Mr. Concubine, I already understand what you mean, but you don't need to worry about this matter at all. The so-called doctor's parents' hearts, even if they are not doctors, she will do it when she goes to save people that day.
It’s also the doctor’s business. So even if it’s a little rude, it really doesn’t have to take it to heart.”
This... Lin Changan didn't expect that he would reject him so neatly. He didn't think he could not get over the face, but there was a last resort!
Princess Yongning covered her mouth and smiled, then said, "Uncle, although we are young, we are not people who don't understand the truth. We all understand what you said, but my brother-in-law is a honest fool.
When I heard that a girl saved him, I had to marry him to repay his life. Because I heard that my aunt was not engaged, my husband and I came here with shamelessness. I hope my uncle can give him a chance to see
Besides, can you do it?"
Ha! Nianfu endured laughter and worked very hard. That little brother Lin was also interesting. If he was a girl's house, I was afraid that he would cry and shout to promise him at this moment, right?
Mu Shaoqin thought for a moment and smiled calmly, "Since Yongning, you said that, it's better, your aunt is not young anymore. I intend to choose a husband for her this year. If this young master Lin is interested, you might as well wait.
For a moment, let me think carefully.”
"It's okay, it's okay! Uncle, just think about it slowly." Lin Chang'an was very happy to hear that he was willing to give him a chance. Anyway, the man's marriage age can be sooner or later. If he waited for a year, he could marry Princess Jiashan from the Prince Ping's Mansion.
, What's wrong?
But Mrs. Lin was anxious. When Nianfu took her down to speak, she couldn't help but speak for Ouyang Kang, "Prince, although I have never studied, I know that my true feelings will be revealed in times of adversity. Our eldest young master is a good person
, I am sincere to you!"
Nianfu raised his eyebrows, "You should say this?"
It’s not that she wants to show off her tricks, but this is really a bit rude. If it is spread, it will not be beneficial to her or Ouyang Kang’s reputation.
Mrs. Lin choked up and bowed her head and admitted her mistake. Nianfu stopped pursuing it and asked, "What else does your eldest young master asks you to come?"
Then Mrs. Lin mentioned the point, "The eldest young master just asked you if you go to see the lanterns today and where to watch the lanterns."
This kid must have wanted to date him under the guise of watching the lanterns? Nianfu curled his lips in his heart, but couldn't help but feel a little excited. They haven't been alone for a long time. If you want to say that you don't miss him at all, it would be pretentious.
I think with Ouyang Kang's "gentleman" style, such a date will definitely bring a group of brothers and sisters to cover up their eyes and ears. So there is no need to worry about being criticized. However, how to convince the father to let go is a problem.
After thinking about it, Nianfu told Mrs. Lin, "Go back and tell your eldest master that I will ask him to come outside Chengtian Gate earlier tonight, and I will have someone take a good place for him."
After hearing her agree, Mrs. Lin happily went back to report her life.
Nianfu turned around and asked his parents for instructions. It was okay to take a seat. The palace had privileges. But Mu Shaoqin didn't want his daughter to stay under the lanterns, "You want to see the lanterns. I'll take you up the city tower to see it.
, Why run downstairs and squeeze with people? Besides, curfew will be lifted in these three days, and there are many people. What if someone hits me?"
But this time, before Nianfu acted cute, Dad Shi spoke, "Amu, you want to take us up, but in front of the emperor and those nobles, it is always constraining. It is better to let us be
Let’s share a happy time with the people below.”
Hui Niang nodded, "Then I'll go down and see it too."
This is absolutely not possible! If your mother wants to come down, her father must follow her, so why would she slip on the date? Nianfu looked at her father's expression and said with a compliment, "Mom, how can you not be with your father?
If you have bad eyes, it will naturally be inconvenient to go down. Do you want to throw him alone? But if even your father is coming down, then there is no one in front of the emperor, is it a perfect speech?"
Hui Niang choked up, looked at Mu Shaoqin again, and said in compromise, "Okay, I'm on top."
Seeing that my father seemed to see his little thoughts and wanted to say something, Nianfu quickly flattered him, "Actually, we are by my father and mother, we are by our side. Can't both of them find the feeling of the past? My father used to take care of him.
Have you seen the lantern?”
This sentence finally touched Mu Shaoqin's heart.
In the past, there was a place where I could have the time to watch the lanterns? Only once during the Chinese New Year, a craftsman hung four or five unsold lanterns in front of the door. Hui Niang was fascinated by the sight. Mu Shaoqin
I kept wondering when I could accompany my wife to watch the lanterns.
In fact, when Nianfu shook his little tail earlier, Mu Shaoqin knew what she wanted to do. But after all, her daughter is older, and it is not good to be too strict. It is better to be a favor and go to the world with his wife.
So he no longer objected, but instead arranged for people to take a good position outside Chengtian Gate so that his father-in-law and others could watch the lanterns.
Due to natural disasters and various savings this year, the scale of lanterns has been reduced by half compared with previous years, but necessary celebrations are still necessary. This not only reflects national strength, but also gives the people a little joy in suffering, so that everyone can fight.
Come on your spirit and prepare for the new year's work.
It has to be said that Gao Xian is a very capable emperor. Since he returned, the situation in the entire capital has greatly improved. The victims who originally gathered in the four cities have basically been well placed under Gao Xian's guidance.
Since the Xishan mung beans successfully sprouted, more farming styles have been recruited and sent there to help. Some young and strong people have formed small teams to clear the silt of the river and clear the snow in the city.
Repair damaged houses for the people.
If these tasks are normal, they will always be recruited to do them easily. Now Gao Xian has made full use of them. He just manages three meals a day, so that the victims can do things so that they will not cause trouble.
As for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, they still arranged them to go to the Taoist temple and also distributed some manual work from the Ministry of Works for them, such as rubbing hemp ropes, weaving straw mats, etc. I really want to thank Mu Shaoqin,
The straw and rural groceries he brought back to protect the grain brought Gao Xian inspiration. These things may not be valuable, but if they are done well, they will be of great use in future restoration and reconstruction.
Of course, some people who really can't do work will also drink a bite of porridge, but if you can do more, you will naturally get full.
So in this way, the victims who were originally crowded in the four cities of the capital were basically invisible. After the Lantern Festival, the entire capital was much more decent.
On the morning court today, Gao Xian also issued several imperial edicts.
First, the three-year taxes for the people in the affected areas will be exempted from this three-year tax, and the court will provide unified assistance to carry out post-disaster reconstruction.
The second is to lower the tax revenue of merchants in the affected areas to stimulate economic recovery.
The third is to send the old palace maids out of the palace. Some of them have already decided on marriages and can also receive additional rewards.
Of course, all the news that is released for this big holiday is good, and the bad news will be kept for the holiday. But some people who are not very vigilant think that the storm has passed and are about to start to move.
