After Tianyou and Jiao Wen left, Wei Wenzhi was already a little drunk.

When he returned to the upper room, he closed his eyes and tilted himself on the kang.

Seeing this, Niuniu took the little maid to give him clothes, took off her shoes, and personally threw hot towels to wipe her husband's face.

Just wiped his face here, and Wei Wenzhi shouted again. Niuniu poured half a cup of warm tea, brought it to his mouth, and waited for him to drink it.

Although at the wine table, Wei Wenzhi talked happily with Tianyou and Jiao Wen, but he couldn't stand his depression, and after eating a pot of wine in a row, he couldn't explain it, but became even more depressed.

He pulled Niuniu's sleeve, and his eyes were already red.

Niuniu was shocked when she saw this, she had already noticed that her husband seemed to have something on her mind, but she didn't say anything about the temptation, so she just thought it was because of the eldest brother's foreign appointment.

After all, their brothers have no parents, and they depend on each other for their lives, and their feelings are deep.

Now, when I see my husband's tears, I am not reluctant, but I am full of sadness.

"Second Master, what's wrong?" Niuniu asked.

"Ming'er, I'm going to send someone back to Jiangning, and you can help me prepare a generous gift for my eldest uncle, doubling it compared to last year's New Year's gift...... The third aunt and the younger brother are also ......," Wei Wenzhi said with a choked voice.

Although she is the new daughter-in-law, she doesn't know about last year's case at all, but Niuniu didn't talk much, but only comforted softly: "But what's wrong with the eldest master, don't worry too much about the second master, Jiangning is so far away from the capital, maybe when the second master's people arrive in Jiangning, the eldest master will have already recovered." ”

Wei Wenzhi sighed heavily and said, "The eldest uncle is not sick...... Big brother is sick...... It's the eldest brother who is sick......"

Niuniu listened more and more confused, when she sent her uncle and concubine out in the morning, the uncle was fine, why was he sick?

Wei Wenzhi said vaguely, didn't want to say any more, fell onto the kang, blocked his eyes with his arm, and after a while, the snoring gradually started.

When Niuniu saw her husband like this, she only felt angry and ridiculous, so she pulled the quilt and covered him.

When she went to the hairpin ring, Niuniu also lay down beside her husband.

But after lying down for a while, she couldn't lie down.

The strong smell of wine from her husband's body, she couldn't stand it after smelling it for a while, and she only felt like a river in her stomach.

She pulled her shoes down the kang, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it in two sips before she felt better.

Before she could turn back to the kang, she began to be nauseous again, retching for a long time.

At this moment, Niuniu's face was already pale, and cold sweat had begun to break out on her forehead.

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, calculated in her heart, her expression couldn't help but freeze, Niuniu lowered her head, touched her belly, and the surprise on her face slowly turned into surprise...... * The next time she said, Niuniu's pregnancy was diagnosed by the doctor, and the news was received at noon in Caofu.

As the old saying goes, the daughter-in-law was a baby back then, and she didn't wait for three years.

Niuniu has been out of the cabinet for less than half a year, and there is good news, which is a great blessing for women. It doesn't matter if they have a boy or a girl, after all, they are young couples, whether they bloom first or bear fruit first, they are all scattered.

Li smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and he thought that Niu Niu was a blessing.

Chu Yu's joy is joy, and he has a little more worry. Although the Wei family has an Aunt Gui, she has never given birth.

She didn't feel at ease, so she talked to the Li family, and then picked two grandmothers who knew about pregnancy and childbirth and went to the Wei family.

Originally, according to the meaning of Wenzhi and Niuniu, since Wenjie and his wife went out of Beijing, they moved Aunt Gui and Wenqiang to their courtyard. Wen Jie refused, only said that whether it was an aunt or a sister-in-law, they should be in the long room.

Aunt Gui thought that Wen Zhi and Niuniu were newly married Yan'er, and she was afraid of disturbing them, so she took Wen Qiang to stay in the big house, and also took a few servants to watch the house by the way.

The two houses on the left and right live next to each other, and the backyard is connected by a corner door, which is extremely cheap to walk around.

Wen Zhi was overjoyed when he knew that his wife was pregnant, but he still had to go to the palace on an errand, so he went to Aunt Gui and asked her to help take care of her.

Therefore, when Chu Yu arrived at the Wei family, Aunt Gui was taking Wen Qiang in Niuniu's room.

Niuniu sat on the kang, on which there were several muslin cloths and a few rolls of tulle. Aunt Gui and Wen Qiang were sitting by the kang, and the mothers were discussing how to make clothes for the baby.

Seeing that Chu Yu was coming, Aunt Gui and Wen Qiang hurriedly got up, and Niuniu also wanted to get off the kang.

Chu Yu hurriedly took two steps forward, held down Niuniu, and said: "I'm just afraid of tossing you, so I won't let people announce it, and go directly to the inner house. ”

Aunt Gui was beside her, and she also persuaded her.

Niuniu was helpless, so she had to sit down honestly.

Chu Yu sat on the edge of the kang and looked at Niuniu carefully, and saw that she had a good complexion except for the dark circles under her eyes, so she put her mind at ease.

Aunt Gui knew that Chu Yu had made a special trip to come, and the two sisters-in-law must have something to say, so they sat with them for a while, and then took Wen Qiang back.

Chu Yu asked what the reaction was, what did the doctor say, how long has she been pregnant, Yunyun.

Knowing that Niuniu had been two months, Chu Yu had to blame her for being careless, and then told her to be careful in the next month. After three months, the fetus is truly seated.

Niuniu listened with a smile, hugged Chu Yu's arm, her body was already glued, and she complained: "Sister-in-law is rare to come, why don't you bring Tianhui?" I haven't seen her for a long time, and I think strangely. In this house all day long, I can't go out, and no one plays with me, so I have a good life. ”

Chu Yu saw her acting as a child, nodded her forehead, and said, "She is still naughty, and she is also a person who wants to be a mother, and she still wants to play." Tianhui's girl didn't want to come, but I came here to talk to you about the woman's house, and her girl's family couldn't listen to her, so I didn't take her ......."

As the two sisters-in-law were saying this, a maid came to say that the two aunts had arrived.

Two aunts, the eldest aunt married in autumn and married the shopkeeper of the drum tower store in Daoxiang Village; The second aunt Xiqiu stayed in Cao Mansion and married Cao Yi, and said that her son was also happy.

When the two sisters got the news, they both came this way, and they happened to meet them at the mouth of the alley.

Another lively, another exhortation, earnest.

In front of her aunt, but in front of her biological mother, Niuniu regretted it a little. Last night, she couldn't sleep, and what she thought about the most was her biological mother.

If the biological mother doesn't have Jiao anymore, she can stay with her.

Immediately, she cursed herself in her heart. Is it for the comfort of his pregnancy, like a debt collector, who only knows what he wants and that, and does not think about his biological mother at all.

Even if her biological parents take care of her up, only she owes the grace of birth and upbringing, not the mother owes her children anything.

Thinking of this, the original weakness also disappeared, her eyes were shining, listening to the nagging of the two aunts, her face was full of tenderness and peace......* In the evening, Cao Hao came back from the yamen, and heard the good news.

He was not just happy and worried like Chu Yu, but his heart was a little sour: "It's really cheap, Wenzhi's stinky boy, if you leave Niuniu as your daughter-in-law, wouldn't you have all your grandchildren." ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Ye had such a plan in his heart, why haven't I heard Ye mention it?" ”

Cao Hao took two sips of tea and said, "But when you say this, the generation is wrong, and it is easy for people to talk." ”

Chu Yu didn't believe this reason, speaking of which, Niuniu and Wenzhi are also different in age, but they are not as close as Niuniu and Tianyou.

Cao Hao had no intention of saying it carefully, and Chu Yu didn't want to ask again, so he said with a smile: "Sister Ping has been out of the cabinet for less than half a year, and there is good news; It's been a year since the two brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, maybe it won't be long before there is good news, we are going to be grandfathers and grandmothers......"

Cao Hao touched the short beard on his chin, looked at his wife carefully, and said, "Such a young and handsome grandmother, there is only one ...... in the capital."

Chu Yu was teased by her husband, glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Just to hug your grandson as soon as possible, Tianyou's family affairs should have been decided as soon as possible." After all, he is an elder brother, and it is not good for him to marry after Hengsheng......"

Cao Hao listened to it and counted in his heart.

Hongshi is on the fourth day of the first month of August, and the twenty-second day of September is "seven seven".

At the end of September, the time seemed to be in a hurry, as if I was waiting for the "77" to pass.

"Change to go to King Jian's mansion, if they have no opinion, they will ask for a decree in early October." Cao Hao said.

Chu Yu listened to it and came to his senses: "Then there is only half a month left, what is the choice of this small ceremony, and when is the wedding date preliminarily set, it can be decided." ”

Cao Hao remembered the appearance of the sixteenth elder brother busy marrying his daughter, and said, "How many months will Da Gege be in time?" ”

Chu Yu thought for a while and said, "Da Gege's birth on February 29, how did you remember to ask this?" ”

Cao Hao smiled bitterly: "It's not the sixteenth master yet, I can't think about my daughter, I wish my daughter and the queen would marry and leave the palace immediately." ”

Chu Yu was surprised: "Gege, who was raised in the palace, where can he marry so quickly, Princess Shushen only got married last year, and she is already nineteen years old." Even if Da Gege is in a hurry, it is already good to get married before the end of next year. ”

In Cao Hao's heart, he didn't want his son to marry too early, and said: "Then set Tianyou's family affairs in the second half of next year." Hang Seng is younger than Tianyou, and it can be delayed for a year......"

Time flies, and autumn goes to winter in a blink of an eye.

The leaves of the trees on the side of the road have fallen, and charcoal pots have been lit in the house of the household yamen.

Towards the end of the year, official business began to get busy.

However, from the household department to the court officials and the officials, they are all in good spirits.

With several reforms rolled out across the country, anyone knows this year will be a bumper one.

Last year, only a few provinces tried it out, and at the end of the year, when all kinds of money were escorted to Beijing, everyone's wallets doubled, and it was a fat year.

This year, all provinces have to escort the money to Beijing, everyone is calculating their share, how can it be several times more than last year, how can there be no rush?

Even for this reason, everyone's fear of "Jingcha" has also decreased a little.

Everyone was in high spirits, eager to let the world know that they were diligent.

Cao Hao secretly paid attention to the news from the military department, and according to the usual practice, the new Dzungar Khan was to send an envoy to Beijing to express his submission. After all, Dzungar was now nominally subordinate to the Qing Dynasty and had trade contacts with the Qing Dynasty in the northwest.

I don't know in what form this new Dzungar Khan will break with the imperial court, and what slogans will he use to incite his people to revolt against the imperial court...... On the same day, Chu Yu was dressed up and handed a sign into the palace......*
