Chapter 493: Asking my daughter what she is thinking about, she has never had time to look at her husband

After a few light snowfalls, the whole city of Beijing is covered with snow, but the weather is getting colder day by day. Although every household has burned a heated kang since the first day of October, the indoors are not well ventilated and the elderly

Frail elderly people still can't bear it, and children are also susceptible to wind and cold. Just for a prestigious medicine hall like Huichuntang, the number of medical visits per day is so busy that several doctors can't even touch the floor, and the number of people who come to get medicine for treatment is more than that of

Twice as much as usual.

Mrs. Gu rarely goes out in the Nuan Pavilion every day. Even though Feng Yuanming comes every two days and Xiaowu visits every day, her body is still getting better and worse intermittently. Even eating every day is only a few lazily.

It was useless to let the small room change its tricks. In desperation, after Lingxi and Du Wan discussed it, they simply asked Zhang Jing, the youngest, to accompany him in the upper room of the North Campus. Zhang Jiu originally planned to ask for a long leave from the Imperial College.

, but was scolded back by Mr. Gu, so he had to ask his younger brother Zhang Yin to accompany him more.

After Zhang Chao came back from the palace that day, he issued a decree the next day to go out on an expedition, kidnap the women of the people, and demote him to the right guard governor of Tongzhou. Although everyone knew that Tongzhou was only a few dozen miles from Beijing, this demotion was already considered extremely extreme.

Being tolerant, at most, it is harder to run back and forth on weekdays, but Dongfang family fell ill because of it. His son finally managed to reach the fifth rank. Even if he may not have a title, a commander is at least stable. Now he has suffered a heavy fall.

She has fallen to the seventh rank, how can she hold her head high in the future? Her son's affair in an extramarital affair has clearly been suppressed by the family, and now that it is being exposed again for trial, isn't it her fault?

Her illness naturally made the Zhang family even more busy. Li Yun and Zhao Fen had to take turns taking care of her all day long. When they were free, they had to take care of the ancestor of the Gu family, and the one who got into trouble but still had a child.

Du Wan, the pregnant aunt, worked hard to take care of the housework and never showed anything in front of the Gu family. She kept the fact that Zhang Yue was in danger a secret. And Zhang Chao, Zhang Ji and the three brothers also wanted to

The news of Xinghe's siege was hidden, and not a word was mentioned, so the whole family finally calmed down.

Fortunately, after a series of bad news, there was finally good news. The decree to bring Zhang Xin back to serve as the Prime Minister of Shuntian was issued the next day. After hearing this news, Feng, who was looking forward to the stars and the moon, cried with joy.

Even the servants breathed a sigh of relief. After all, some of the male heads of the family were serving as officials, some were leading troops, some were on errands, and some were demoted. They have been demoted for many years.

The eldest son of the family is back, and this house finally looks like it is.

Because she heard such great good news, Mrs. Gu made an exception and ate an extra half bowl of rice at noon that day, and it was especially delicious. She walked around the house for a while to eat, and then went to take a nap with Baifang's support.

Du Wan and Lingxi went back to their rooms and grabbed a few bites of food in a hurry, then immediately rushed to the small meeting hall. As the new year was approaching, they were busy with all kinds of things like renting, renewing the tenancy, purchasing, favors, etc. It was so easy.

After making these arrangements, Lingxi hurriedly ordered the little girl to fetch a basin of hot water and personally served Du Wan to wash his face and hands.

After washing her face, she evened out her clothes again, covering up the haggard look on her face. Du Wan saw that she had a clear conscience and washed her hands with the remaining water. She also had a sallow complexion with bloodshot eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I usually look at the two...

My aunt still thought it was easy to take care of this, but now she has done it herself and watched the money flowing out like water, and then she understands what real difficulty is."

"Now that we have moved to the capital, many things need to be bought new. In addition, many appliances have to be transported from the south. The price is 20 to 30% higher than before. Naturally, the expenses for a large family are higher than before. If it weren't for the master,

In Nanjing, it is said that he and Cheng Guogong jointly set up some kind of property, and the money that went into the public account every month was very considerable. I am afraid that I can't sustain it just by relying on the second master's earl salary of 800 dan and the family farm, etc.

, After all, the big boss only provides money but no income. It will be much better when the big boss comes back."

"That's what you said."

Although Du Wan helped her mother with the housekeeping, after all, the family did not have that many people. Now it was shocking to see that the money transactions in the account were at least 500 coins. After calming down, she thought of Zhu Ningrang.

She told Lingxi about Zhang Yue, but her temper had always meant that she could handle things by herself, and Lingxi seemed to be very busy these days, so she kept the matter firmly in her heart.

Now that she had a little leisure time, she felt an indescribable longing in her heart.

Zhang Yue has been gone for twenty-eight days. There were still messages from Hu Qi before, but after Xinghe was surrounded, there was no news. When she slept alone every night these days, she even used her nails to

There were marks carved on the bed frame, and now there were ten of them, which meant that there had been no news from him for ten days. She didn't know whether he was alive or dead, good or bad, even if he went back that day

When visiting his mother, he did not dare to reveal even a word in front of Xiao Wu.

The mother has always regarded Zhang Yue as her son, and cannot let her be worried and frightened anymore; but Xiaowu doesn't know the importance, and if he gets into trouble again, things will only get worse. He said that he will come back to see her safely.

and children, then he will definitely be able to do it. She can only believe in him and believe that he can seize every opportunity.

There is no such thing as good luck in this world, you can only rely on yourself to find every opportunity!

"Young mistress!"

Suddenly someone called out, and Du Wan came to his senses. When he looked up, he saw that it was a steward's wife. The wife put her hands in front of her body and saluted, then smiled and said: "Third Young Mistress, Third Master over there in Nanjing

I sent someone to bring a lot of things, and a letter from home. Now the big cars are outside, and the dozen or so people following the cars have all been rewarded. I want to ask for instructions whether to store the things first, or to bring them in for the boss.

Madam, two ladies, young master and grandma, take a look."

Hearing that the father-in-law sent someone to deliver the things, Du Wan pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Has the list of the things been sent in?"

"Looking at my memory, I almost forgot about this. This is the list, this is the third master's home letter!" The daughter-in-law slapped her head and quickly presented a fold with both hands. Du Wan opened it and discussed with Lingxi in a low voice.

Then, she stepped aside. After a while, she heard instructions coming from above, and hurriedly listened carefully.

"The nanmu crutches and beads for the old lady, as well as the interior and exterior materials and knickknacks for each room were sent in first. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, one is just right for making clothes, and the other is for the children to play with. Those

The local cured delicacies from the south of the Yangtze River are sent directly to the kitchen, and the kitchen is asked to make a few flavors for everyone to taste in the evening. The treasures and copper coins are transferred to the public account and let the accountant enter the account. "

Lingxi looked at Du Wan and saw that she had no objection, so she handed the list to the little girl beside her and sent the wife down. After the person left, Du Wan opened the envelope of the book, took out the letter and read it.

She stood up, and when she came to the end, she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, and then started laughing.

"Dad said that he originally planned to let Aunt Hong and his sixth brother go to Beijing next year, but now the weather is too cold, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things in the capital, so we are planning to let mother and son go to Beijing in the spring of next year, so that they can be seen by the old lady.

There are many grandchildren, so the family is more festive. He also said that my mother went to Qixia Temple to ask for a fortune in person, and our whole family was lucky. She was very happy."

Although Mr. Sun is a serious master, Lingxi couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "After all, I still can't stand my wife."

Thinking of her parents-in-law, Du Wan also felt that her heavy heart was slightly relieved, and then she folded the letter and put it back. Not long after, several wives brought things into the meeting hall, and she opened one at random.

When she picked up the box, she saw that the silks and satins were of prudent and elegant fashion, and had been divided according to head. She secretly sighed that her father-in-law was careful in his work. Just as she was about to send people to deliver things to each room, she

I heard a shout suddenly coming from outside.

"Third Young Mistress, Princess Chenliu is here and has gone directly to the West Courtyard!"

She had suppressed her worries and worries before, but now Du Wan felt her head sinking. She stood up with a forced smile, gave Lingxi, who was busy with the wives, a few words, and hurried out of the meeting.

Hall. Because the steps were too slippery, she couldn't help but stumble when she stepped on the last step in a hurry. Fortunately, Amber next to her had a quick hand to help her. Even so, she still walked very fast along the way, and it was extremely difficult for Amber to follow.

, I can’t help but feel doubtful.

Did Du Wan already know what Zhu Ning was here for? With such an emergency, could it be that something happened to Zhang Yue?

He hurriedly and slowly returned to the West Courtyard. As soon as he entered the main room, he saw Zhu Ning sitting on the Kang, holding Jing Guan with his head down and teasing him non-stop. Du Wan couldn't help but be startled, and a sense of hope immediately arose in his heart. Sure enough,

, Zhu Ning raised his head, with an unabashed smile on his face: "Don't worry, this time it's good news!"

A few simple words seemed to have a huge weight. For a moment, Du Wan didn't know whether her dizziness was due to relief or something else. Dragging her legs that were like lead at the moment to the kang, she completely

He didn't realize that his throat suddenly became hoarse, and he just asked word by word: "Is he really okay?"

"More than that, if the news from Xuan Mansion is accurate, Zhang Yue will be in the limelight this time!"

Since this was an announcement of good news rather than a bad news, Zhu Ning did not avoid the two girls in the room and said with a smile: "After the emperor found out, he was so happy that he said countless good words, what a general and a tiger, what a young and promising person.

...In short, all those good words are used. In addition, the emperor's grandson happens to be nearby to join in the fun. As soon as the emperor is happy, he will probably reward your little Jingguan. Don't worry about that guy, just be happy.

The siege has not been rescued yet, but he is so capable that he will definitely come back safely!"

Du Wan took a deep breath and suddenly remembered the hug he gave her when he was leaving. He told her to wait for him to come back, and she promised that she would wait for him with her son... She has done it, and so can he!

Zhu Ning looked at Du Wan leisurely, but secretly sighed in his heart. The good news is that at such a great moment, the bad news should be hidden for the time being. Anyway, there is still no trace of it, and I don’t know who is trying to catch the wind and make nonsense.
