Zhou Weiji, accompanied by Wang Chengde's family and Wang Chunrong, had a warm and heartwarming meal.

The father and son of the Wang family admired Zhou Weiji's drinking, and they had already stopped thinking about getting him drunk, Yu'er and Wenxuan, the two little guys, were still obsessed with listening to the second uncle beating the tiger, and refused to eat with Zheng and Lan Yi in the back room, and sat next to Zhou Weiji in the outhouse.

Lan Yi saw this, so she asked Zheng to simply go to the big table in the hall to eat together, but Zheng disagreed.

Lan Yi flattered: "Mother, didn't our family often eat together when Brother didn't come on Tuesday?" Now that I have a relationship with Brother Tuesday, we are a family, so let's eat together and save an extra set of dishes. ”

Zheng Shihu made a big face, pulled his daughter into the house and began to educate, "You are engaged to Wei Ji, but you still have to pay attention to the defense of men and women." You can't sit at the same table with him before you get married, and you can't sit at the same table with your brother and eat with your brother when you go back to your parents' house after you get married. These rules can't be wrong, otherwise people will laugh at you for not counting, and your mother will give it to you little by little. ”

When Lan Yi heard that she had to learn the rules, she hurriedly waved her hand and leaned on the side of the door to open the door curtain, "I'll see how the two children are eating." ”

Yu'er's dishes and chopsticks are very proficient and do not need to be taken care of; Although Wen Xuan doesn't know how to use chopsticks, as long as he puts the food into his small bowl, he can also use his own special small spoon to stuff it into his mouth, Zhou Wei knows what the two little guys like to eat, and he accompanies the Wang family father and son over and over again, while paying attention to feeding the two little guys with vegetables and soup, which is very natural and skillful.

Lan Yi smiled happily, and happened to look at Zhou Weiji's gaze. Lan Yi smiled at him and was pulled closer to the house by the Zheng family.

"Look at your little face and rough hands, how can you see people? From today on, you take care of it, cook less food, brush the dishes and chopsticks, and buy you some medicinal herbs and gouache to use later, and you must raise it ............before you get married."

Lan Yi looked at Zheng's gushing appearance, warm and helpless, she is only fifteen years old this year, okay, she has not yet reached the age of blooming, and she is about to start maintenance? It's too early.

"Mother, Tao'er is so hungry......" Lan Yi took Zheng's hand, shook it and began to be coquettish.

When Zheng heard this, he quickly stopped and pulled her to the table on the kang to sit down, picked up the soup on the table and put it in Lan Yi's hands, "Hurry up and eat, drink this bowl of soup first, this is specially boiled for you by my mother, this mulberry goose is a good thing, the old woman rewarded my mother with one or two, and my mother has always kept it for you." ”

Mulberry goose, is the modern white fungus, in the Great Zhou is a very expensive ingredient to nourish yin and kidney, Zheng has been reluctant to eat after getting, although I don't know when my daughter will come back, but has been saving her.

Lan Yi picked up the white fungus lotus seed and red date soup, and drank it in small sips, the children with mothers are all treasures, and she is now the treasure of the Zheng family. Now the economic conditions of the family are not good, when the Wang father and son were in prison, the Zheng family spent empty money to send them some food, but they have not been willing to touch the dowry and items prepared for their daughter, and now she is back, the Zheng family will take out these things regardless of the silver, hoping that she will eat the best.

Lan Yi still has two thousand taels of silver in her pocket now, she thinks that if Zhou Wei can solve Wang Mingli's matter smoothly, this silver will be useless, and she will find an opportunity to take out this money and leave it to the Zheng family, so that she will not be short of money.

After the meal, Zhou Weiji accompanied Wang Chengde to drink tea for a while, stood up and said: "Father-in-law, I will go to Dongping Mansion, and I will be back in two or three days. If Wang Mingli has any movement, my father-in-law will drag it out for the time being, and I will find a way when I come back. ”

Wang Chengde nodded, Zhou Weiji's words were that he wanted to go to Dongping Mansion to find a way to solve Wenxuan's matter, although he was catching fast now, but after all, he had been a general at the border before, and he still had some ways to come.

"You have to be cautious when you go out, and it's not easy to ask someone to do things. I asked my mother-in-law to prepare some gifts and silver for you to bring, but it was not good to go empty-handed. ”

Zhou Weiji shook his head, "Father-in-law doesn't need to worry, I will prepare." ”

Lan Yi coaxed Wen Xuan and Yu'er to sleep, and naturally heard their conversation and came out directly by lifting the door curtain. She was very embarrassed, and hoped that Zhou Weiji would be very smooth when he went, but she also knew his temperament, so she asked him to beg for the sake of herself and her children, and she really wronged him: "Brother Tuesday, come back with or without doing anything, don't be too embarrassed." ”

Zhou Weiji looked at the worry and hesitation on Lan Yi's face, and comforted: "I have my own measure, don't worry." ”

Yao Yirou has been in the soil for seven days, and there are many fewer taboos, so on this day, Xia Wan sent someone to send a letter over, inviting Lan Yi's mother and son to get together in Mifu on the second day.

Lan Yi was accompanied by Dao Wufeng and Wang Chunrong and went to Mifu to meet Xia Wan. In the past two days, Dao Wufeng has always been elusive, and Lan Yi often can't see him, but he always feels that he is protecting himself in the dark.

Yu'er, Wenxuan and Xiao Jinbao were playing happily, and Lan Yi and Xia Wan had endless words next to them.

"Sister, yesterday my eldest brother sent a letter over, saying that the family is very concerned about your situation, and I don't know when you will be able to go back, this is the letter brought to you by Beigou Village." Xia Wan took out a thick white envelope and handed it to Lan Yi.

Lan Yi has been away from home for almost a month, and the second uncle Wang Minzheng's family can't let Wang Linxi and Wang Linyuan accompany her back because they are busy with the autumn harvest, so they naturally miss her very much. Xia Chongxiao sent a letter to Xia Wan, along with the letter written by Wang Linyuan to Lan Yi, they didn't know where Lan Yi was, but Lan Yi said that she would go to Xia Wan in Meixian County and hand over the letter to Xia Wan, and Lan Yi would be able to see her sooner or later.

Lan Yi hurriedly took it and read the four pages of the letter from beginning to end, Lin Yuan told the situation at home one by one in the letter, and Lan Yi looked at it and missed Beigou Village even more.

"Yu'er, Wenxuan, your third uncle said that the second and third baa gave birth to five little lambs."

When the two little guys heard this, they hurriedly gathered around, "Mother, did the second baa give birth to three or the third baa gave birth to three?" ”

Lan Yi shook her head, "The third uncle didn't write it, and you have to go back to know it." ”

Yu'er nodded, "Well, let's go back quickly, Yu'er still has to grass for them to eat." ”

Lan Yi nodded, "It's almost there." ”

Seeing her like this, Xia Wan asked curiously, "Sister, is the matter almost here?" ”

"Yes. It's almost there. Lan Yi said embarrassedly, "Sister, I made a relationship with Brother Tuesday yesterday. ”

Although Xia Wan had never seen Zhou Weiji, she had heard Lan Yi and her two children often talk about him, so she was no stranger, she was really happy for Lan Yi, "Congratulations sister, when will you get married?" ”

"The specific date has not yet been decided, and my mother wants to handle the eldest brother's family affairs before letting us get married."

Xia Wan nodded, took her hand and said seriously, "You are young, it will not be too late in another year or two." When you get married, I will definitely go back and give you makeup to get married. ”

"It's time for my sister to go back to visit my aunt, and my aunt has been thinking about when my sister will be able to go back." Every time Lan Yi saw Xia Wan's mother, Mrs. Qin, she would repeat the words of when her daughter would come back several times, and she missed it very much.

Xia Wan didn't want to go back, "Yes, Jinbao has grown so big, and she hasn't kowtowed to her grandmother yet." When I take care of the affairs at home, I will definitely find an opportunity to go back every year. Sister, what a coincidence, your family is going to marry to Beigou Village in Meixian County, and your sister's family is married here in Huang County, our sisters are not blessed, they are too far away from home. ”

Lan Yi also sighed a little, she was reluctant to part with the Zheng family now. Traveling nearly thousands of miles, according to modern terms, it is nothing, not even out of the province, it will be there in a few hours, but in this ancient time where the traffic is inconvenient, it is necessary to walk on the road for seven or eight days.

However, Lan Yi was thinking that in the future, if she could take the Zheng family and them to Beigou Village, there would always be a time to reunite together. Xia Wan followed Mi Yichao as an official in Meixian County, and when her husband's term of office expired for three years, she also changed places, but she didn't know where to change.

"Sister, when my brother-in-law's term of office expires, where will he go next?"

Xia Wan shook her head lightly, "It's still early, it's hard to say." Your brother-in-law doesn't have any strong skills, so he can only take one step at a time. ”

Xia Wan didn't want to mention her husband's affairs more, so she changed the topic: "My brother said that the fresh fruits made by Shang Ji will be shipped here in a few days, and this time the sixth son will come back, if it is convenient, my sister can go back with them when she goes back." ”

Lan Yi nodded, and Wang Linyuan also mentioned this matter in the letter, saying that he planned to come with the six sons and pick up their mother and son to go back.

Chuncao on the side was very happy when she heard that Liuzi was coming back, and Lan Yi took the opportunity to quip, "Liuzi is coming back, is Chuncao happy?" ”

Chuncao blushed slightly, "Miss Lan is making fun of me again!" "Now the maids and mothers-in-law around Xia Wan all call Lan Yi Miss Lan.

Lan Yi smiled and didn't speak, and at this time, Chunlan came in and said, "Girl, the meal is ready." ”

Xia Wan nodded, and after everyone cleaned it, they set up a meal in the flower hall.

Because of taking care of several children, the meals are mostly soft and light, Xia Wan personally fed Xiao Jinbao, and Xia Wan's nurse was waiting by the side.

"Sister, what you wrote about taking care of the child, the nurse said that it was really reasonable. You see that Xiao Jinbao raised it according to what you said, and he hasn't had a headache or brain fever for a year. Xia Wan said gratefully.

Lan Yi hurriedly waved her hand, "Sister, I don't know how I remember this, I wrote it to you when I thought of it, and I did the same when I took care of Wenxuan and Yu'er." Now it's hard for her to say that she took care of Wen Xuan and summed it up herself, after all, Wen Xuan was not her own child.

Xia Pozi said with a smile: "I have long heard that the eldest lady of the Wang family is like a fairy, and if Miss Lan can remember this, she must have learned it from the eldest lady." ”

Lan Yi nodded, it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, and it is indeed not much to push these things to Yirou. Yirou is in the hearts of everyone, her status is transcendent, everyone thinks she is good at everything, she knows everything, Lan Yi is her personal maid, she can get a little bit of guidance from her, and she naturally knows more things than others.

"Mother, try this, it's delicious." Yu'er pointed to a plate of dishes on the table and said. Chuncao saw that he liked to eat, so he quickly took chopsticks and added a lot of chopsticks to him.

Lan Yi saw the plate of red scrambled eggs, which was very familiar, so she quickly put some in her bowl and scooped them up with her own spoon and put them in her mouth, her eyes couldn't help but light up, "Sister, what kind of vegetable is this, it tastes good." ”

"It's rare that my sister also loves to eat, this is shipped from the capital, called Da Hongguo, Jinbao and I like this sweet and sour taste, but your brother-in-law feels bad, saying that it is very sour." Xia Wan replied with a smile, it was not surprising that Lan Yi and the three of them would like this dish. This is what she specially asked the kitchen to prepare, and the big red fruit is not common in Da Zhou, so it is just right for them to try it.

When Lan Yi heard about it, she was shocked.

Are there already tomatoes in this era? So early? Lan Yi's mind immediately flashed more than a dozen ways to eat tomatoes, and she couldn't wait to make them quickly, she hadn't eaten them for more than a year!

Since it was shipped back from the capital, I guess it hasn't been promoted yet.

Lan Yi wiped the corners of her mouth and asked expectantly, "Sister, are there more big red fruits at home?" If it's more, can you give it to my sister two, I think the children like to eat it, so it's better to take seeds and plant some next year. This thing is expensive, and we are in the remote area of Huangxian, so there must be no one. ”R1152
