The atmosphere of the New Year in this era is very strong, from the corners of the streets and alleys, to the smell of stewed meat at home, all remind you that it is the New Year.

The businessman who had been doing business outside for a year returned home, warmed a pot of hot wine, fried a few side dishes, brought back some specialties from other places, sat at the dinner table and was contented, watching the children at home smile from ear to ear because of a new dress or a string of sugar gourds, and his heart blossomed.

The people who have been working in the fields for a year are finally willing to buy a piece of fat meat, stew a pot of fat meat, fragrant, with a little local wine in the township, it can be regarded as a unique flavor.

The officials who have been busy in the government for a year are finally willing to go to the time-honored butcher shop to buy a roast chicken or roast duck, and then bring some other marinated dried tofu or water, which can be regarded as a relief from their cravings.

This time can be regarded as the most peaceful day of the year, there are no troublemakers, because everyone has an unwritten rule, no one should make trouble at this time, because the officials have been busy for a year and want to have a safe year, if they have to make trouble, once the officials are dispatched, these people have a good year at home and are disturbed, then the mood can be imagined, and they must be punished heavily.

Debt collectors no longer come to the door to collect debts, in a year on these two days of peace, even if it is a debt collector, you have to go home for the New Year, but also let people have a New Year, which is more in line with the concept of the ancients, so there is a common saying that has been passed down to this day, the New Year, all let one step.

Cheng Xiaolian can be regarded as free in the mansion, he doesn't have to care about anything, what he wants to eat every day, you can see the lively market when you go out, some people can finally have two days of peaceful birthday during the New Year, and some people point to these days to make some money, like those storytellers and sugar sellers, at this time can earn a lot of more silver, no one is willing to rest at home, and most of these people are in the city, and they can still rush back for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night.

Cheng Xiaolian reached out to a piece of Zitong shortbread in Wen Duruo's hand, and slowly stuffed it into his mouth, with a satisfied face, Wen Duruo sighed: "You have eaten too much in the past few days, I am afraid that you will not be able to get on the horse in the future." ”

"Your consciousness is quite advanced, where is there such a thing as losing weight in this era."

"I don't have a problem with you eating more, I just think your current image is very good, and you are a good lord to your subordinates, if you eat for nothing, people will drop half of their morale when they see you, how can you fight? What does that weight loss mean? ”

Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head: "Someone else asked you to say this." ”

Wen Duruo's face turned red: "No." ”

"Don't lie to me, you don't know anything about marching and fighting at all, you can't say this kind of thing that my food is fat and fat affects morale, say it, who pushed it out to speak?"

"I won't tell you, but I think what people say is quite reasonable, you look at the storytellers on the side of the road, what Changshan Zhao Zilong, Xiliang Jin Ma Chao, are all heroic, only the big bad guy Dong Zhuo is a fat man."

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "Crooked reasoning, it's all crooked reasoning, when is the good or bad of people's hearts has anything to do with whether they are fat or not, you look at Yang Youcai is so fat, he is not still flying on the wall, don't worry, I won't be fat in two or three days." ”

Saying that, he picked up another piece of Zitong shortbread, and Wen Duruo was a little helpless: "Sister Mao, you see I have said it, what I said doesn't work, you still don't believe it, I think it's better for you to say." ”

Cheng Xiaolian jumped up suddenly: "Ha, I finally found you, I guessed that it was you, those courtiers didn't dare to say these words to Du Ruo, that is, you have a lot of eyes and calculate your sisters." ”

Mao Ruoling looked at Cheng Xiaolian with an aggrieved expression: "I'm not for the good of my husband, if my husband really becomes a fat man, I won't be able to run fast on the battlefield in the future." ”

Speaking of this, she turned her head: "Sister Wen, you are too stupid, you confessed to me as soon as you were cheated, it is really unbearable." ”

Wen Duruo pursed his lips: "Who made you swear that my husband will definitely listen to what I said, and I am not ashamed to blame me if I didn't guess correctly." ”

Mao Ruoling straightened up, her face suddenly changed, her fingers didn't point out, she covered her stomach suddenly, and her face began to turn pale.

Cheng Xiaolian suddenly ran to the front and supported her: "Don't let you eat more, you see that your stomach is bad, hurry up and send the doctor over." ”

There is already a doctor in the house, and his family also lives here, in order to prevent someone from threatening him with his family and doing things that are unfavorable to His Highness.

The doctor hurriedly ran over, checked the pulse, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Madame is happy." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for an instant, and the people around him were all stunned, but Zhu Fu was the first to react: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and wrap red envelopes, let people set off firecrackers at the door to celebrate, and send someone to inform the whole city to make the big guy happy." ”

The people in the house are naturally happy, not only the main mother is pregnant, but one of them is holding a red envelope in his hand, which is at least one or two silver, but they are more careful in their work, if something happens to them, a few heads are not enough.

Cheng Xiaolian walked to the bed and grabbed Mao Ruoling's hand: "Ruoling, did you hear it, we have a child." ”

Mao Ruoling's face turned red: "The sisters are all here, what are you doing so intimately." ”

Wen Duruo laughed: "Okay, okay, let's get out of the way, so as not to hinder the good things of others." As he spoke, he pulled Situ Bing and turned around and walked out. ”

In fact, Wen Du Ruo was originally born in Xinglin, and when Mao Ruoling said that she had a stomachache, she had a little clue, but she was not easy to get started with this kind of thing, because she had never been out of the cabinet before, so this kind of disease was not seen, and she was not sure, if the diagnosis was wrong, I don't know what people would misunderstand, anyway, there are doctors in the house, so let the doctors see it.

When everyone walked out, Mao Ruoling's tears poured out all of a sudden: "My mood now is like turning over the river and the sea." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Don't be too excited, be careful of the child in your belly, what you are pregnant with now is not only the child of the two of us, but also the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, those old ministers have to offer you." ”

Mao Ruoling pinched Cheng Xiaolian's hand: "Don't laugh at me, do you say that Sister Wen will be angry?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian shook his head: "Don't worry, they are all happy for you, otherwise Du Ruo could have diagnosed you just now, but in order to make you not scruple about anything, she didn't stand up, but you should be careful in the future, don't dance with knives and sticks anymore, let me know, family law serves!" ”
