It was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the garden was broken.

The sun in winter is always thin and weak. After finally seeing the stronger sun on that day, the maids and mothers didn't need to say anything, and they hurriedly carried out the pillows and beddings from each room to wash and dry it.

The open space, which was flattened behind the garden for entertainment and playing ball, was pulled horizontally and vertically with ropes, and was filled with colorful bedding, which was spectacular.

Xueli stood at the back door of the kitchen, squinted her eyes and looked at it, and Aunt Zhang shouted, "Miss Xueli, okay!"

Xueli hurriedly walked in, "Thank you, auntie."

"Why are you polite? The princess is happy to eat, and there is light on my face." Aunt Zhang wrapped her hands with a thick rag, put a small lotus stew pot on the stove into the food box, and put it in a clean dish and handed it to her.

, Suddenly, he sighed, "Oh, the son-in-law is not here, and the princess has lost her appetite. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I don't know if she can come back."

Sydney smiled, and her good mood, which had just been aroused by the sun, also calmed down.

I was worried every day when I was outside, but it was not easy to go back to the capital. I would like to know if I didn’t say anything else, just look at the princess’s sharp drop in appetite.

I just hope that the Junma will come back soon, and these messy things will pass quickly, so that everyone can have a good New Year. Let’s set off firecrackers and go away bad luck, just like the bedding that was washed out and dried. When the New Year is over, it will be a good place.

A new beginning.

She thought about it all the way, carrying the food box all the way to the yard. She turned onto a small bridge and happened to meet a servant guarding the door to send a post to Nianfu. Xueli took it and lifted her foot into the house. But she saw Cuirong

I came back and was on the kang with sun under the window, calculating the accounts with Nianfu.

Cuirong, who took over the position of Xianyuan manager, is now jokingly called the God of Wealth by her family. It must be a good thing for her to come back. Xueli smiled and put the post aside, and gave Nianfu soup first.

The yam wolfberry quail soup that had been stewed in low heat for half a day was only a small cup, and the soup was rich and delicious. As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma made people's index fingers tempt.

Xueli had just added a small bowl, and Nianfu said, "I'll add a bowl to Cuirong and give her the quail."

Cuirong hurriedly said, "How can this make it happen? Princess, you are now two-body, but you have to eat more."

Nianfu smiled. "Although this account is not finished, I guess you have made a lot of money for me this year. What is the point of rewarding you with quail?"

Cuirong also wanted to refuse. Xueli had already found another bowl and tore all the legs of the two quails to Nianfu, and the remaining meat was added to her. "The princess would like to reward you, just eat it. Someone accompanied her.

She can eat more deliciously. Princess, look, there are no other meat, only these legs, if you don’t like your face, Aunt Zhang should cry.”

Cuirong said angrily, "You little hoof, are you going to make your own decision now?"

Sydney replied playfully. "That's good for my sister to train her!"

Everyone laughed when they said this. Cuirong smiled and said a few words. After all, she took the soup. Someone accompanied her, Nianfu also ate all the soup. The two of them discussed the account of Xianyuan again.

Originally, Nianfu planned to recover the capital in one year, but he didn't expect that he would start to make a profit before winter began. Next year's business is scheduled to be until March.

Since she made money, she was not stingy and told everyone to pay double salary by the end of the year. Some of them did a particularly good job and would be rewarded.

"There are also people in the mansion, and I tell you that because the family has a new addition, everyone's monthly money will increase by 10% next year. Please find the manager to make a new example and look back to me and send it to me. It will be sent from the first lunar month.

”

This is really good news, and the maids all thanked each other. Cuirong led the way and said, "Then we have to pray day and night. The princess will add more new people to the family, so that it will be better off the little master's advantage and increase the price.

How many months of money are there?"

She didn't want to be this model worker. Nian Fuheng looked at her, but she was also very happy when she looked at everyone's smiling faces.

Unexpectedly, when good things started, they were all one after another.

First, the old lady sent someone to the house and said that Ouyang Mulan had sent another letter. She had given birth to a fat boy of eight pounds in May this year. Wei Yinian was so happy that Gao Xiuru took the initiative to take the child

He recorded it in his name and reported it to the court to prove his identity.

Then there was Ouyang Zhuang, who was promoted.

Although he was only promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank, he was given the actual shortcomings of a county magistrate. If he did well, his future career would be very promising.

Ouyang Zhuang knew in his heart that he could be promoted because he was successful in doing business with his elder brother this time, so he was very respectful in front of Nianfu and thanked him again and again.

Nianfu said, "You don't have to thank your brother. If you hadn't been motivated by yourself, it would be useless if he wanted to use his strength. But although your official position is not big, you can't come back within three years after you go thousands of miles.

, What should I say about this marriage?"

Tan said hurriedly, "Isn't that the case? I'm also anxious. So I want to come and ask the old lady Guan for an idea. Should I send someone to tell the Fu family? If possible, I will do my business immediately after the first month of the year and let Xiao

The two of them set out together. Otherwise, Zhuang'er would not be at ease if he had no one to take care of him."

Nianfu immediately said, "What are you waiting for? Let's talk about my post now. After all, I am a sister-in-law and a peer, so I can open my mouth. If someone is not happy, I will not lose my grandmother's face."

Tan was very grateful. Even if Nianfu was a junior, the princess had much greater face than the old lady. With her on her way, the Fu family would definitely not make things difficult for her.

Sure enough, as soon as Nianfu's post went away, the Fu family quickly sent someone to reply, expressing their willingness. After so long of engagement, the woman's things had been prepared. Even if there were a slight shortage, the Ouyang family would not be surprised. So they came

People say that you can come to the door to marry just by waiting for the Ouyang family to finalize the wedding date.

Now Tan is busy. The old lady quickly sent her back, saying that during the Chinese New Year, she didn't need to respond to the situation except for necessary occasions.

Just after they sent them away, Ouyang Kang came back.

Nianfu hurriedly asked, "How is the Shen family?"

Ouyang Kang stood by the fire with air conditioning, "I broke off the engagement, but Miss Shen's family is very affectionate and loyal, and she is really sad. I just sent Yaozu home, but he ran away in a single dress.

I knelt in the snow over there for a while. It is inevitable that I will get seriously ill. See if there are any good ginseng in my home, and find a few branches to send to him."

Nianfu felt sad, but it was good news to be able to resolve things smoothly. It would be useful to find a good family for Shin Min in the future, which is more useful than apologizing ten thousand times.

I told Ouyang Kang that he had good news about his family and asked him to change his clothes to have dinner quickly, but Ouyang Kang said, "I won't eat anymore. I'll find more clean clothes for me. I'll go to Guan's house if I change them.

”

how?

Nian Fu's heart sank. Ouyang Kang didn't want to disturb his grandmother, so he just walked up to Nian Fu and whispered quietly, "I just went to the Guan family and realized that the emperor had issued an order in the court today. At noon tomorrow, he would be sentenced to the King of Jin. The Pei family will be sentenced to death.

Yes. Yaozu had a high fever and was forced to go and see the gentleman in person. I changed my clothes now, went to meet him first, took Yaoqing back, and then prepared what I should prepare.

.”

Nian Fu was silent, but Ouyang Kang lifted her chin and said, "Smile."

I have seen too many sad faces these days. He also needs a smile to cheer himself up.

Nian Fu suddenly spread his hands at him. "Give money."

Ouyang Kang was slightly stunned.

Nianfu said expressionlessly, "Don't you have to pay for buying laughter?"

Ouyang Kang was stunned and suddenly laughed out loud. He gently scraped off her nose, and felt much more relaxed, "Then I'll leave."

"Go." Nianfu looked at him with a smile, "Be careful on the road. It's dark and slippery, so it's better to slow down. Don't rush home."

"I understand." Ouyang Kang turned around and smiled, and suddenly he felt like he was having fun. He reached out and bounced her slightly raised belly. He wanted to ask, when will this watermelon be ripe?

However, Nianfu's stomach moved slightly.

Ouyang Kang changed his color instantly.

He stared at his fingers in disbelief, then turned his eyes to Nianfu's stomach, and said in a trembling voice, "This, this... why did he move? Ask a doctor and go and invite an imperial physician!"

Nianfu was speechless.

Fortunately, this man was so embarrassed to boast that he was calmer than his father. Seeing this, he was so scared that his face was bloodless.

The old lady sitting there listened to the movement here and laughed, "You silly child, it's been three months since you've been in a hurry. It's scary to have no movement in your belly. Your wife started to move two days ago

It’s just that you are not at home, you don’t know.”

What, what?

Young Master Ouyang didn't care about his image and slapped the ground on one knee, listened on his wife's stomach, and asked like a cannon, "Is this normal? Then he was moving inside, isn't he saying he was uncomfortable?"

He reached out and poked carefully again, his face full of confusion, "Why doesn't he move again?"

Nianfu couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the silly father from the ground, "Go and do your business quickly. You need to study him. You still have time."

Well... OK. Ouyang Kang reluctantly turned around and looked at her stomach and walked out. He went out after going out, but suddenly turned around and ran back, and said hurriedly, "He must be hungry! You should have dinner quickly,

Stop being slow. Eat more."

Everyone in the room laughed, but Ouyang Kang didn't realize it at all, and he said seriously, "Don't be picky about food. You have to eat a little bit of everything. You don't like it, maybe he likes it? After eating, take a walk,

You also have activities, don’t be lazy and don’t want to move. Let’s help you walk under the corridor, not cold and steady. Grandma, please help me stare at her."

"Okay." The old lady responded happily, Nianfu looked at the sky speechlessly.

Who is this talkative person?

However, this time, Ouyang Kang's mood was obviously much better than before being amused by Nianfu. In other words, there were things that could be paid more attention to, so he no longer felt sad.

He grinned and patted her belly again, smiling foolishly, "Then dad is gone, and he will come back later. Are you obedient, do you know?"

After saying this, he left with satisfaction. His head held high and his chest seemed to have done something extraordinary. Nianfu felt that if he had a tail at this moment, he would have trembled high.

.

But she also smiled with her hands on her stomach.

Although there are always all kinds of unsatisfactory things in life, there are still many beautiful things that are worth looking forward to.

From afar, I don’t know which family ignited firecrackers. The new year is coming. As long as they are still alive, there is always hope to wait until spring is blooming. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
