347. The Thirty-Five
Chapter 347
It is really a family, and it is not a family. There is also a third girl, Hu Wen, and the family has two children. Both families are young. The eldest is only nine years old in the Double Ninth Festival, and the younger one is only two years old. Although it is less than a week older than when the He family brought the twins to Beichang Mansion, the He family was rushing to the early spring and getting warmer. Now it is rushing to the autumn and winter, and getting colder. When it comes to Beichang Mansion, it is even colder than the winter in the imperial capital.
Chongyang and Dabao are both bigger, wearing thick cotton coats, thick furs, big furs, big hair hats, big hair ear buckles, thick cotton gloves on their hands, and big cotton socks on their feet, all over their bodies, and eyes are exposed. The third girl and He Qi hold their second boy, and they are also tightly surrounded. Even the third girl, He Qi, are also very thick. Both of them just braided their hair and dangled it behind their heads to facilitate the hats. This is especially true for Jiang Ren’s parents and grandparents. Jiang Ren and Hu Wen are better, and they are also covered with fur. Yes, in Beichang Prefecture, only cotton coats cannot survive the winter. They are all cotton coats plus large cloaks or leather jackets, otherwise they will not be cold.
When Mrs. He saw that he had come back, he hurriedly didn't care about baking taro and called on his relatives to come from the room.
The house of Mrs. He was warm, with both a kang and a charcoal basin. The flowers were filled with newly-opened daffodils, and the sweet fragrance lingers. When everyone entered the house, they dared to take off their big sweaters outside. He Zijin ordered the meatballs to cook some ginger-sweet eggs under the kitchen to warm everyone. A group of relatives had seen them. The children were on the kang. Mrs. He took Jiang Ren's grandmother's hand and sat on the kang. Mrs. Jiang sat on the chair of the master, lowered the foot stove under his feet, and held a hand stove in his hand. Mrs. Jiang smiled, "It's not that cold, the house in the house is warm."
The third girl He Qi sat on the edge of the kang and said that the kang was hot. He smiled and said, "A handful of firewood is over, and a handful of firewood is very warm after a while. Beichang Mansion is sleeping in kangs, and the locals have better skills in carving kangs than in the imperial capital."
The third girl said, "Before coming, Aren said we would make more large and thick cotton coats, and then make leather robes and leather jackets. I also said that it was not so cold. I really don't know if I didn't come. Even Mid-Autumn Festival has not arrived, it's like winter."
Old lady He smiled and said, "In Beichang Prefecture, this is winter." She asked again, "Is it frozen?"
He Qi also said, "There were charcoal basins on the road. When the weather was good, we took the children out of the car and walked around, and we also made a living. Fortunately, we prepared in advance. We also went to the pharmacy to prescribe a few pieces of cold-killing medicines, and we often took a dose on the road. We stayed in a restaurant along the way. We really encountered someone who was sick on the road. My junior sister and I were just worried about the children, and we didn't want them to be more energetic than adults."
For a moment, the maids brought the sugar-water eggs and everyone ate a bowl. Like Dabao, who is picky and not ginger-flavored, he was also eaten up by his mother. Chongyang said Dabao, "You don't grow up every year, but you are still picky and picky."
Compared to Chongyang, which is so strong that he looks strong, Dabao is slim and has a white and delicate face. Dabao is also gentle and said calmly, "I'm growing, who said I haven't grown? You are tall because you are older than me."
Chongyang snorted and got off the kang. The third girl said, "You can warm up on the kang."
Chongyang put on his shoes and said, "Mom, I'm not cold." He Zijin asked, "Auntie, where are the twins?"
He Zijin smiled, "They went to Master Chaoyun's house and had someone to pick them up. There are also uncle Xing and Azhen. You have never seen Azhen before. Even Aunt Jiang's younger brother, you have to call him uncle."
Chongyang is already very sensible and nods, "I heard Uncle Aren say it."
Chongyang is the oldest among his peers. When he got off the kang, the younger ones couldn't sit still and wanted to go down to follow Chongyang. Chongyang said, "Erbao and Erlang are both staying on the kang, Dabao, look at them."
"What are you doing? It's so cold outside." Dabao asked.
"I'll go see how heavy the snow is."
The third girl said, "You haven't seen enough on the road?"
"I haven't watched it for a few days on the road, mom, I'll go out and watch it for a while."
"Why can't you sit still?" The third girl was so angry that she saw the child running out. Old Madam He hurriedly said, "Put on thick clothes and go out."
When I came back from Chongyang, I wrapped my fur coat. Mrs. He said, "I also put on my hat."
Chongyang said, "Great-grandfather, I'm not cold, what's the hot." He ran to the outside room.
The third girl said, "I was quite honest when I was a child. I don't know why I came back. The older I got, the more disobedient it."
Hu Wen smiled, "Are you boy? It's better to be more savvy."
The third girl said, "Look at Dabao, she is gentle and delicate."
He Qi smiled, "I was angry about his meal when I saw the sky. My junior sister had seen it, and she asked him to eat and beg him. She asked me to tell me that if I had hunger for a few days, all the problems would be corrected, but our old lady couldn't bear to leave it."
Old Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said, "I am a grandson, of course I can't bear to bear it." He also said, "I see that my family can live, so I'll tell my child to starve."
He Qi smiled helplessly, and Mrs. Jiang said to Mrs. He, "Dabao is so kind by nature. He is born with a delicate body. When he was a child, his belly was not very good. I often asked Dr. Ping'antang to touch him. In fact, when he is old, he is not picky about food, he is just meticulous. He is much better now."
Mrs. He said, "Dabaoer is pretty good, she is thinner and not strong enough, so she needs to give her a good child a supplement."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang was worried. Her family is now considered to be a little money. She wouldn't be reluctant to give her grandson some good food. However, she would be willing to give her money, but her grandson didn't like to eat it. Mrs. Jiang said worriedly, "This child doesn't like to eat meat when she beats her children."
After talking about the children, he said that Jiang Ren returned to the imperial capital and returned to his hometown. Jiang Ren smiled and said, "My uncle and his family are all excellent. I feel relieved when we know we are all well. Brother Alor has given birth to a second son. I gave birth to my child on behalf of my aunt and Zijin's sister. A Xuan heard that A Lie has become a scholar and is very hardworking now. In addition, the marriage between A Xuan and Miss Song II has also been settled. A few days ago, he fought in Xiningguan and was loyal and brave.
The uncle led his troops to defeat the barbarians out of Xining Pass. Brother Xiao Rui followed Master Zhongyong to make military achievements. He is now in office. The hometown is also good. Brother Ashan is taking care of his sister's fields, and my family is also entrusted to Brother Ashan. I was thinking about whether Brother Ashan should come with me. There are many opportunities here. Brother Ashan didn't come, and said that there must be a reliable person in the hometown to watch, so he asked his two kids to come with me."
He Zijin hurriedly asked, "Where is it? Why didn't you come in?"
Jiang Ren said, "This time Brother Awen and I sold a lot of goods in the imperial capital. They watched the placement of goods outside, and they came in after the placement."
After a while, the two sons of the Chenshan family came in, and they were all wearing big sweaters. They were not old. The eldest son called Chen Huai, and the second son called Chen Rong. Chen Huai was only ten years old. Chen Rong was even younger. This year he was only sixteen and half a child. Old lady He kept muttering, "A Rong is still so young, so A Shan is really relieved."
Chen Rong smiled and said, "My father said that if he followed others, he would be worried. If he followed Uncle Aren, he would let me come with him, help him run errands and gain knowledge."
The maid brought two more bowls of sugar-watered eggs, and the two of them were not polite and took them to eat.
He Zijin knew that Jiang Ren was going to pick up the family, and the yard had been cleaned up. Every day, people were asked to burn the kang, and now people live. He Zijin asked the maid to go and put in a few more charcoal basins. The third girl He Qi asked the maid to go over and watch the placement and cleaning up. Then he talked about the days of the imperial capital. The third girl Hu Wen had been running a roast duck shop in the imperial capital, and the He Qi family lived in the Shen family. Mrs. Jiang smiled, "Ah Ren said he would come to Beichang Mansion together. We thought we would go back to the imperial capital in just three to five months, but we didn't want to have the New Year. Because he didn't return to the imperial capital, my sister-in-law was worried that our party would go back to our hometown, so we lived in the in-laws."
Mrs. He also said, "Since we are all in the imperial capital, how can we go back to our hometown? Could it be that we go to see how the business is in the shop in our hometown?"
Jiang Ren smiled and said, "One of the things to see the business, the other is to send letters to Brother Ahan's house on behalf of Brother Ahan." Jiang Ren said, "Brother Ahan's parents are here too. By the way, I haven't told the old lady yet. Isn't Brother Ahan's eldest sister married to Mr. Chen's house? This time they came with me."
Uncle He didn't see anyone, Jiang Ren said, "When he arrived at Beichang Mansion, A Lie took them to settle in Beichang Mansion. He probably stopped the snow and would come to pay tribute to the old lady."
Old Madam He snorted, "I'm impatient to see that tricky woman."
Hu Wen smiled and said, "Don't bother with my grandma. This is also my fate with my third sister. Otherwise, how could I be my turn to run a family with my third sister?"
"It's not that she is not a good person, and marriage is always a matter of love. She likes the rich and noble lady. If she doesn't like her, just say it. My third girl is also a good girl. She is just a good girl. She is just a sensation. You say that she is so angry that she dares not be afraid of others. Fortunately, the third girl is lucky, otherwise, I will not be finished." So far, Mrs. He is very angry and said, "What a pity, a good child like Ahan, come to such a mother, hum!"
The third girl advised, "It's all over."
"I mean this matter, but my heart hasn't been over yet. She is tactful and doesn't come to me, otherwise, even if she comes, I don't want to answer her." Mrs. He has been a whole life and doesn't plan to pay attention to He Han's mother.
For a moment, the twins and Xing Ge'er Azhen returned, and the room added a layer of fun.
Everyone said aloud. After the yard there was cleaned up, Mrs. He asked them to go to the yard to see what else was missing. Just say that there was something at home.
He Zijin has always been a good person, not to mention that the two yards were prepared in advance, and although the furniture was not new, they were all complete. As soon as the third girl went to the house, she said, "The house must have burned the kang in advance, otherwise it would not be so warm."
Hu Wen also said, "Sister Zijin must have prepared in advance."
I ate hot pot at night, enough mutton rolls, as well as watery small vegetables, radishes, and big taro stored in the cellar. I cut them into slices and rinse them. Hu Wen smiled and said, "Although Beichang Mansion is cold, it has such benefits. Frozen mutton, whether it is sliced or rolled, it is very cheap."
Mrs. He smiled and said, "Isn't that true? It's good to eat this hot pot in winter, it's warm and I have a lot of food."
The Hotpot of He family always stewed a pot of meat first, and then used meat soup to simmer the dishes. He Zijin has always eaten less meat at night, so she made a small pot of vegetarian soup to eat. This time, Dabao is a person who doesn’t like meat and fish, so he made a small pot of vegetarian soup for Dabao. The dishes are also vegetarian, such as green vegetables, bitter chrysanthemum, carrots, white radish, cabbage tips, frozen tofu, black fungus, trench fungus, etc. Dabao is not vegetarian at all. He also put a few slices of mutton rolls into the pot and boiled them, and then a few dried shrimps to season. He didn’t eat these, and mixed the soup to simmer the dishes.
The most delicious thing I eat is Chongyang, which is different from Dabao, who is a vegetarian. Chongyang is born as a carnivore and is also tall. Of course, the appetite is good, and I took a bowl of meat from the pot, which made me even more exciting. Mrs. Jiang envious of Mrs. Jiang, and I thought that Chongyang was the way for young men to eat.
The problem with Chongyang is that he likes to eat meat so much that the third girl has to pick up some dishes for him. Although he doesn’t like to eat Chongyang, he also ate what his mother gave him. Dabao also discovered a delicacy. He doesn’t like to eat meat, but he likes fish, fish balls, etc. He likes it very much. Not only fish balls, but also beef balls, shrimp balls, and crab meat balls. Dabao even ate a lot. Old Mrs. Jiang laughed, “I haven’t eaten so much in the imperial capital, which shows that it’s right.” He praised He Zijin, “Zijin’s craft is really useless.”
He Zijin smiled, "Most of the children like to eat round ones, A Xi, A Ye, Xing Ge'er, A Zhen likes these." Of course, Chongyang also likes them. Basically, there is nothing that Chongyang doesn't like to eat.
Erbao Erlang had friends who were competing with him, and he also ate very enthusiastically.
Everyone in Chongyang said, "Auntie, I want to know that you have so much meat to eat at home, so I'll come long ago." Everyone burst into laughter.
The whole family suddenly became lively. After the next day, everyone had time to sit down and talk about business matters. Jiang Ren and He Zijin talked about the business of the book shop, and brought the dividends of the past two years to He Zijin, as well as the harvests of the He family in the past few years and the profits of the business of the Shenshijiang shop, together with the accounts and money.
Jiang Ren had figured it out first, and then went to discuss with Hu Wen about the sales of goods brought by the imperial capital.
The third girl talked about the dividends of the roast duck shop with He Zijin. When it comes to the roast duck shop, He Zijin also asked the third girl, "Who took over the roast duck shop after the third sister and brother-in-law come here?"
The third girl said, "My shopkeeper is still a person in the shop. Grandma Tang has changed to a capable manager."
He Zijin said, "For more than a year, my sister and brother-in-law have been in the imperial capital. I see your letter saying that the Hu family is going to the imperial capital to prepare for the spring examination?"
"It's hard to say." The third girl sighed, "I want to come here if you don't go to write."
"My uncle went to the autumn examination and was also a happy event. If the uncle and grandma came over, your brother-in-law and I would be happy. After all, they were brothers. After all, they were brothers. They were all happy for him. I don't know how to discuss it, but our master and his wife came together. As soon as we heard about this, your brother-in-law and I would move out." The third girl said, "This is not my stingy. It was originally a house that Uncle Shen bought for his sister. If our master and his wife were sensible, they would live there, and my sister was not a stingy person. Later, I was really glad that we moved out. We did not rent a small house, but there was only this one.
Like, the master also got angry with your brother-in-law and said that in the past, he lived in a big house with four people. When the parents came, they immediately rented the house to pretend to be poor, which made your brother-in-law very angry. Even if they lived first, it was not our house. Since the wife went there, she knew that the roast duck shop was in partnership with Grandma Tang, and she wanted me to recommend it to Grandma Tang. We and Grandma Tang were just business matters. Where can we buy people here? I could not respond, so she was unhappy. She also went to the store from time to time to call Ximianer. If it were not good, she would hold a banquet at home. She ordered Ximianer from the store and didn't pay a penny. It was said that this shop was not
It's all our family, but Grandma Tang called Ximian. We said we would not charge money, and they would also give rewards to the chef and not let the subordinates be idle. The old man and grandma came to the imperial capital and brought his Sanlang with him. Sanlang was similar to Chongyang. It was Shen's uncle who helped arrange his studies in the official school. When she found out, she whispered to the eldest master, saying that the eldest master looked for your brother-in-law and wanted to send Sanlang to the official school. That official school was not owned by our family. Uncle Shen arranged the Chongyang period to the official school, and it was also for his sister to save face. Could it be that when arranged by Chongyang, the Hu children were all the uncles of the Shen family? How could your brother-in-law open his mouth? Because of this, the uncle
The big grandma was a little unhappy. When the two children were having dinner, she always said that Chongyang was greedy and loved meat. When the children were greedy for the children, they loved meat. Besides, the children were not greedy. Sanlang was making trouble every day to eat the snacks from Bafangzhai every day, so she wouldn't say that she bought some good snacks, and they were locked in the cabinet. Both Chongyang and Erlang could not see each other, so they were all for Sanlang to eat. I am not as handsome as the dim sum, but it is not a common method to do so. You wrote that Beichang Prefecture is guarding the restaurant and there are many opportunities. I will discuss it with your brother-in-law. Even if you go to the restaurant and open a roast duck shop, as long as you have enough food and clothing, it is better to be idle than always in the imperial capital."
He Zijin said, "Sister, you don't even say it if you believe it. If you want to write it earlier, I'll call you here. I always think that the roast duck shop was opened by Brother Awen, and it's been a few years of hard work."
The third girl sighed, "No matter how hard you work, you won't be as good as living a happy life. I am a person who can endure hardships and cannot bear the anger."
He Zijin also mentioned these things to Mr. He. Mrs. He immediately cursed Mr. Hu and said that the third girl was useless, "What can you do with such a thin face? You can still eat it as a meal! She doesn't want to have a face, don't give her a face. I haven't seen the sky in the imperial capital yet, and she's so big-faced!" He also said that Mrs. Hu was hateful, "It's not my own biological son or I can't do it! I don't want my face!"
After scolding him, Mrs. He finally realized his anger.
As soon as the children came, A Nian and Hu Wen and Jiang Ren discussed and arranged the children first. Chongyang and Dabao were both at school and went to school in the imperial capital. They directly inserted the two of them into the county school to study. In addition, Erlang and Erbao were still young, so they followed Longfeng, Xingge'er, Azhen and others to go to Master Chaoyun, either to play or to study with Luo Daru for a thought.
When the snow first started to snow, He Zijin took a family of children to the river to fish in ice.
Beichang Prefecture is located in a remote area on the border. The ethics here are not strict, and they are naturally liberated. First of all, in Beichang Prefecture, women don’t make a name for themselves when they go out. If there is a woman who doesn’t go out, that would be strange. The third girl He Qi saw many local female relatives running to the ice, fishing, or skiing on the ice, which was very strange. However, when she saw Mrs. He dressed tightly and asked someone to push her, both of them happily played in a well-like manner.
