"Hahaha..." Brother Yu's sharp and tender voice was full of happiness.

Qing Niang held a long whip in her hand, and was beating the top on the ground. The top spun rapidly, and it took a long time to slow down. Qing Niang whipped down again, and the top spun fast again.

Brother Yu clasped his hands and stomped his feet happily.

Qingniang handed the long whip to Brother Yu, "Here, try it."

Brother Yu held the whip and hit the ground with a 'snap', without touching the top.

"Hahaha..." Brother Yu was still very happy, just like playing with a whip.

Lvhe stood in the corridor, leaning against the painted red column, very spiritless.

After finishing his work, Xie Ning came to look for his son, watched the scene from a distance, and sighed.

While coaxing brother Yu to take a nap, Xie Ning seized the opportunity and casually asked, "Is it nineteen this year?"

Luhe nodded, and answered with vigor: "Yes."

"Big girl, I have to find you a husband's family quickly, I don't want to pay a fine." Xie Ning joked.

Luhe is a slave, but in the slavery of the Qing Dynasty, except for the maids in the palace, all the maids and brothers who did not marry after 22 had to be fined by the master's family.

The maid in the palace, 26 out of the palace voluntarily left the palace to marry.

Lu He felt even more depressed, and looked at Xie Ning sadly, "Master Ning!"

"I mean, what do you like?"

Luhe couldn't tell, she grew up so big, except that she was a little girl who brought tea to the small door and cleaned the courtyard, she was in Zhou's house, after being successfully bought, she is now the big girl in front of the master.

She would want to marry Qiang Huo because he is a good doctor, kind and benevolent, and also because Qiang Huo is the only one around her to choose from.

Thinking of this, Luhe replied: "It's kind."

Xie Ning thought of the miserable Mei Niang a few years ago, and agreed, "Yes, kindness is good."

"If a man has a good heart and a kind heart, at least he won't hit a woman."

Luhe was surprised, "I really didn't expect this."

"You are self-motivated, you act steadily, and you can live well on your own. As long as you are comfortable at home and the men don't do anything to you, life will always be easy."

The laws of the Qing Dynasty supported reconciliation, but it was very difficult.

"That's right, like Master Ning, if you have the ability, the old ladies and gentlemen dare not rush you." Luhe envied.

Indeed, because Lin Jin is still young, Lin Jin is still the head of the Zhou family, but Xie Ning has always made his own decisions about how to use money for business, without any restrictions.

But it was still a reminder, but it was my husband's lonely year, since he promised to give birth to a younger brother or younger sister to Brother Yu, in the past year and a half, the two husband and wife have worked very hard, but Xie Ning's stomach has not moved.

Don't think about this, Xie Ning wants to untie Xie Luhe, "Then what do you think? I will find a good match for you after I go to Beijing, or do you believe in the person in front of you?"

Lu He immediately shook her head, very firm, "Say it out, lest Ning Ye laugh."

Xie Ning put on a gesture of 'willing to hear more about it'.

Luhe: "I entered Zhou's house at fifteen. At that time, I didn't know how to get married. I just watched Nian Ye doting on you, loving you and respecting you. It's been five years... I have never talked to you loudly."

Xie Ning pouted, yes, he was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

"I don't know what kind of man I like, and I don't know what kind of life I want to live, but I want to marry a man who doesn't take concubines or houses..."

"How could I laugh at you?" Xie Ning patted Lu He on the shoulder, "Everyone in Dajing Village, my hometown, said that Xie Ning was born with a good life. You some, I will find you a good family."

Luhe laughed loudly, with the charm of a little woman.

Xie Ning withdrew his hand and said to Luhe: "Think about it? Are you not sad?"

"I think so, he likes to travel around, there should be such a chivalrous woman by his side." Lu He bid farewell to the past in her heart: You and I are just a good match for each other, that's all.

Xie Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, he admired Luhe very much, and when he arrived in the capital, he must choose a responsible man for Luhe.

……

On the second day after Qiang Huo came back, Xie Ning arranged for people from the firm to transport the books in a study room to an inn outside the capital city by land.

Because in the Qing Dynasty, no matter how big the official position was, as long as he was not an official in the capital, he could not enter the capital without calling, and it was impossible to buy a house in the capital.

So I can only ship the books and wait.

Their family was escorted to Beijing by the Ministry of War ten days later.The industry in Jianzhou is entrusted to Wu Wei and Zhang Hai to supervise and control each other, and report to the capital on a quarterly basis.

After everything was in order, Zhou Laosan's family started the fifth relocation, which was also the largest and the longest relocation.

Xie Ning took Brother Yu to ride in the carriage, and Brother Yu made a fuss about riding a big horse.

Ever since he moved into Fucheng, Brother Yu asked Xie Ning 'when will he go home', Xie Ning felt very sorry for his son.

Because Brother Yu has been promoted to work with his two fathers since he was born, and he never had a stable home in his childhood.

So Xie Ning didn't restrain his son along the way, and even led Brother Yu on a horse by himself. The family was like an autumn outing.

At this time, Brother Yu was really sitting on the back of the big white horse, leaning softly in his father's arms, while Zhou Jinnian, the head of the family, was sitting in the carriage...

Xie Ning was fully armed, and tied his son in front of him with a long cloth, and covered his and his son's faces with a layer of white gauze to prevent sand and dust.

Brother Yu waved his little hand, and the white gauze he was playing swayed in the wind. After playing for a while, he raised his head and said to Xie Ning, "Daddy, I don't want Dai Jie."

Xie Ning grabbed his little hand to hold the rein, "Hold it well, go back to the carriage if you don't wear it."

"Hmph!" Brother Yu lost his temper again.

"If you don't wear this, your mouth will be full of sand in a while, and they will make you unable to eat meat."

Brother Yu was curious, "Why?"

Xie Ning made up nonsense, "Because they want to eat, as long as they see people with their mouths open, they will go in and eat the flesh in people's stomachs."

Brother Yu took a deep breath, pouting and holding his breath.

Xie Ning chuckled inwardly, as long as Brother Yu's little mouth was awake, he would babble, the word 'why' was just like a mantra.

During the journey, whenever it was near dusk, Brother Yu could ride a big horse to see these strange places, some desolate and some prosperous.

As long as the fathers are by Brother Yu's side, no matter how desolate he is, he will not miss no matter how prosperous it is.

A five-year-old doll with a very rich and strong heart.

……

After entering Beijing, the family was temporarily housed in the official residence, a collective courtyard not far from the palace wall.

The ownership of the official residence still belongs to the official family, and the officials only have the right of residence, and they have to move out when they become official.

Zhou Jinian's five-year salary was naturally not enough to buy real estate in the capital, but his husband Lang Xie Ning did.

On this day, Zhou Jinnian came back from the Ministry of Officials and waited for the holy order. After entering the palace to face the holy, the official card came down.

Zhou Ji Nian returned to the house, put down his new purple official uniform and black black gauze cap.

Handing Brother Yu to his father, Xie Ning went back to the house, walking briskly, hanging on Zhou Jinnian's back, moaning.

Zhou Jinnian hugged him behind his back with one hand, tugged at his collar with the other, teased Fu Lang and said, "Brother Yu is five years old, you are three."

"Hmph..." Xie Ning rubbed his mouth against her husband's shoulder, squeezing his mouth out of shape.

Xie Ning had nothing to do, turned his head, saw the purple mansion on the table, and said with a chuckle, "I want you to wear a big purple robe for a day during the Chinese New Year, but why don't you want to, now it's all right, you have to wear it every day!"

Zhou Jinnian sighed and shook his head, bent down to let Xie Ning lie on his back, carried his husband on his back and sat down on the rattan chair, then Xie Ning naturally nestled in his arms, and the two of them lay down together .

Xie Ning rubbed upwards, saw his forehead pressed against his husband's neck, and asked lazily, "Has the official card come down?"

"It's still early." It didn't come down so fast.

"Oh." Xie Ning's tone was a bit sad, it was inconvenient to do anything here, and he had to go outside to use the toilet.

Zhou Jinian naturally understood Ning Lang's depression, and he thought it would be a good solution, "Tomorrow I will accompany you to look at the yard, if you like it, buy it, the deed will be in your name, and you don't have to wait for my official license to come down."

"Huh?" Xie Ning stood up with the wicker chair propped up, and was lying on Zhou Jinnian's body, "How can anyone write my name?"

"Why not?" Zhou Jinnian lay down, looking at Xie Ning's eyes half-down.

From the angle of looking down, Xie Ning's upper eyelids are like a graceful line, and the straight eyelashes look like a teenager. Looking closer, there is a layer of fine and small fluff on his face, like a child.

Xie Ning lay down again, not paying much attention.

Zhou Ji Nian asked again: "Where do you want to buy?"

"Everyone says that the Imperial City is good, and I want to buy a big one. Over the years, I have saved up all the money I earned. After careful calculation, only the house in Qingshui Town that the imperial court gave you belongs to our family."

Indeed, none of their family likes luxury, and almost all the money they earn has been saved. Over the years, food and clothing are all Zhou Ji Nian's salary.

"Okay." Zhou Jinnian closed his eyes, relaxed, and rubbed Fulang's waist with his palm through the clothes.

"Xuanwumen and Chongwenmen are convenient for you to go to court, but they are more expensive."

Zhou Jinnian still kept his eyes closed, "Don't you like big yards? It's okay if I ride a horse to go further away."

"Where is the horse tied? Doesn't it cost money?"

People who are really good at making money are the ones who are good at saving money.

Ning Lang's words caused Zhou Jinian to close his eyes and smile for a while, then opened his eyes and rubbed the back of Fu Lang's head, his tone was still teasing, "The yard is going to be bought for my husband, so why don't you even want to buy a slot for a horse? "

"Hahahaha..." Xie Ning burst into laughter.

To be more specific, Xie Ning really bought the yard for her husband, but Zhou Jinnian, a third-rank Beijing official, said it was very comical.

Zhou Jinnian curled his mouth and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Xie Ning thought it was fun, and showed mercy, "Anyway, my husband will buy it for you, so if you have any other requests, just mention them together."

He said it with pride and pride, as if he was the third-rank official.

Zhou Jinnian pursed his lips and snorted, "In two days, I'm going to have dinner with Mr. Guo and my eldest brother, so I can give my husband some living expenses."

"No problem! How much do you want?" Xie Ning readily agreed.

"Three taels." Zhou Jinnian didn't ask for much, after all, the prices at the foot of the imperial city are so expensive.

"Here are six taels for you!" Xie Ning was addicted to acting, he was very generous, and he didn't have the stinginess at all that he was reluctant to buy a horse grass seat.

Hearing this, Zhou Jinnian sat up with his little husband in his arms, hooked his small chin and looked carefully.

Xie Ning was so embarrassed by this, what was he doing looking at him so seriously?Xie Ning pursed his lips and asked timidly, "What are you looking at..."

Zhou Jinnian liked to look at Ning Lang, a small family man, so he raised one corner of his lips, and replied rudely: "Look at the face of my husband, an upstart."

"Hahahaha..." Xie Ning lowered his head, threw it into the arms of his husband, and fell down laughing.

Zhou Jinnian was also infected by Fu Lang, and he lay down hugging him and laughed together.

Brother Yu has a little friend, so he doesn't think about looking for his father for the time being.

The little friend is the son of an official of the Ministry of Industry in the official residence, named Bao Zhenghao, two years older than him, seven years old, strong and strong, holding a wooden bird.

The wood chips of the bird's wings were cut very thin, and the bird's claws grew on a wooden stick. Xiao Zhenghao clasped his hands together and rubbed the stick, and the wooden bird flew into the air.

After being able to fly for a while, the two little guys happily chased on the ground.

Luhe followed behind, constantly telling, "Brother Yu, don't leave the compound."

When the wooden bird fell to the ground, the taller Xiao Zhenghao ran to pick it up, handed it to Brother Yu and said, "Here you are!"

"Hey..." Brother Yu happily held the wooden stick, lowered his head and looked at the wooden bird from side to side.

When he was in Jianzhou, he had a lot of small toys. His grandpas bought them, and Uncle Wu Wei and Zhang Hai also bought them. Although it was for the sake of his fathers, the ones he sent were all very good. s things.

But children just like to be curious, and the ones they haven't seen are the best.

Xiao Zhenghao thought that his younger brother would not know, so he hurriedly took the wooden bird back.

The little brother wanted to take the wooden bird, but Yu brother let go obediently, but turned his head and pounced on Luhe's leg with his mouth pouting.

Lu He could see it clearly, smiled and stroked Brother Yu's hair, squatted down and said, "My brother wants to teach you how to play, go and learn from my brother."

Brother Yu picked his little claws, and his little mouth was so pouted that it could hang an oil pot.

No one has ever snatched anything from him, and he would give it, but he is too young to distinguish the act of 'robbing'.

Xiao Zhenghao was at a loss while holding the wooden bird, and stood there blankly.He is also a poor baby. His mother had a difficult childbirth when he was born. His father was a scholar, so he had to guard his deceased wife for a year. He was raised by his nanny until he was one year old. He survived the most difficult period, and his father did not want to marry again. up.

Little Bao Zhenghao has no mother to love, no father to take care of him, and in this official residence, his little friends don't play with him either.Finally, a beautiful little brother came, and Pidiandian followed him. He liked the small wooden utensils made by his father very much, but he messed it up too.

Luhe reached out to Xiao Zhenghao, "Come here."

Xiao Zhenghao hesitated, he was afraid that Luhe would scold him and rob him like the mothers of those friends before.

Lu He picked up Brother Yu and took two steps towards Xiao Zhenghao, who couldn't help but take two small steps back.

Brother Yu's little stubborn temper came, and he hugged Aunt Luhe tightly, but he didn't want to turn around and face his little brother.

Luhe feels sorry for her young master, and is funny, the doll's temper is so cute.

"Brother Zhenghao wants to teach you how to fly a wooden bird. Brother Yu, look at it." Lu He stretched out his hand and scratched Xiao Zhenghao's face, "Demonstrate me, my brother can't play."

Xiao Zhenghao hurriedly went around behind Luhe, facing Brother Yu, rubbed the stick, and the wooden bird flew up.

Lu He let go of Brother Yu and coaxed, "Go and try."

Xiaozheng Haobaba was about to run to pick up the wooden bird, but was hugged tenderly by Lu He, "Let my younger brother pick it up, one time for each of us."

Xiao Zhenghao huddled in Lu He's arms, and couldn't help calling out: "Mother..."

Lu He quickly let go of the child, she thought that Xiao Zhenghao's mother was here, she was an official's wife, if she saw her son being hugged by a servant, don't make a fuss with Master Ning, it would be troublesome.

Looking around, there was no one in the empty courtyard dojo except for the walls and doors. Lu He stood up and bent over and asked, "Did you see your mother?"

Xiao Zhenghao shook his head, "They said I have no mother, and my mother died."

Lu He blinked, and touched Xiao Zhenghao's face apologetically, not knowing what to say.

Brother Yu has already picked up the wooden bird and came back, "Auntie, look at me!"

"Okay, look at you." Lu He knelt down and looked at Brother Yu together with Xiao Zhenghao.

Brother Yu folded his palms together, straightened the wooden stick in his palm, rubbed his two small palms up and down, and the wooden bird spun out, twirled twice in the air, and then fell to the ground.

This time, Xiao Zhenghao ran to pick it up, and the two children happily played together again.

When Xie Ning and her husband got bored enough, they came out and wanted to take their son to the street to buy snacks. Seeing that their little friend was playing so well, they went to inform Bao's family and took them to the street together.

Zhou Jinnian protects Xie Ning, Xie Ning leads his son, Lu He leads Xiao Zhenghao, Shi Shi follows behind, and the group enters Luogu Lane.

On the streets of the capital city, you can see that from the clothes and the entourage behind you, there is no doubt that you are a dignitary.

Xie Ning was no longer the little country bumpkin who came to the city for the first time, he straightened his waist, walked slowly without rushing, and had the aura of an official husband.

And the temperament of the little bumpkin was inherited by his son Yu Geer, who asked his father where to point, everything was strange, everything smelled good, and he wanted to taste everything.

The capital city is not like the capital city of Jianzhou. There are many people in the capital city, and it seems that the buildings are crowded with each other.

There were so many people on the street, there was no other way, Xie Ning had no choice but to hug the little man and not allow him to talk about anything.

Luhe also embraced Xiao Zhenghao in his arms.

After shopping around, Xie Ning finally pointed to a big restaurant and said, "Ji Nian, let's eat roast duck."

When the two of them moved to Yuezhou Fucheng, the husband took him to eat roast duck, and he had the idea of ​​opening a grilled fish shop.

Zhou Jinian nodded and headed towards Jinling Roast Duck.

Now that the family is wealthy, Zhou and his wife went to the outskirts of the city to worship Buddha with Qiang Huo early in the morning, and now they don't know where to enjoy delicious food.

It is still the lobby on the first floor, and there is no private room. I ordered the signature roast duck, Kung Pao hare, roast pork tenderloin of Fugua, jade shoots and bracken, and the glutinous rice lotus root that Brother Yu likes to eat. The two little dolls each have a bowl of egg custard.

As soon as the dishes were on the table, Xie Ning made a roast duck for his son. Brother Yu chewed with his mouth pouted, his chubby cheeks puffed up.

Zhou Jinnian rolled a whole lot of duck meat to feed Fu Lang, fearing that his Ning Lang's stomach would be full of oil and water.

Xie Ning was stuffed with a big mouthful, and he elbowed Zhou Ji Nian, "Don't let yourself eat."

Zhou Jinian didn't care, took a taste of Kung Pao Hare with chopsticks, the taste was slightly spicy, the meat was tender and fragrant.

Xiao Zhenghao was a little strange to everyone at the table, except his younger brother, but the younger brother's food was delicious, and he didn't care about him at all.

Lu He sat next to him, rolled up the roast duck and handed it to him, "I'll feed you, or do you want to eat by yourself?"

Xiao Zhenghao immediately opened his mouth wide, and was fed by Luhe.Children have no time to think about anything while eating.

The egg custard was eaten by two little guys with spoons in their arms. Two little guys and three adults, a table of dishes was not wasted.

On the way back, a group of people took a detour and walked back from another street. On the way, the two little guys became sleepy after eating, like little pigs.

In the end, Lu He hugged Xiao Zhenghao and sent him to his home. The little guy's father, Bao Xing, came to welcome him in person. Bao Xing had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was very upright.

The next day, Xiao Zhenghao came to the door again, holding a Jiulianhuan in his hand, and his father told him to send it to Brother Yu.

Zhou Jinian and Xie Ning went out to buy a yard, leaving only Luhe and the two little ones playing in the yard of the official residence.

After that, Lu He sent Xiao Zhenghao home every day, and he and Bao Xing were able to talk again.

In the end, Xie Ning's name was really written on the yard bought in the capital, because Zhou Jinnian's Beijing official plaque did not come down, but the word 'Zhoufu' was still hung on the door plaque.

After five years of struggle, the Zhou family finally moved into the mansion under their own name.

The Zhou Mansion was bought in Jian'an Square outside the Donghua Gate in Beijing's outer city. It is mainly a three-entry courtyard with a large courtyard and the word "目".In addition to the eighteen rooms where people can live, there are also stables, kitchens, warehouses and back rooms where servants live.

On the day of housewarming, apart from Xie Yao, Cao Liang from Dali Temple, Deng Shiqiang from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Guo Tao from the Ministry of Industry all prepared small gifts to congratulate.

The household department is in charge of wealth, and Zhou Jinnian is the left servant of the household department handpicked by Emperor Qingyuan. That is to say, this person has a name in Emperor Qingyuan!

Moreover, they had a friendship before, they were officials in Beijing, and they had many friends and many paths.

This time it was a family banquet, so the family sat at the same table with several adults, including Brother Yu of course.

Brother Yu still has only a vague impression of his uncle Xie Yao, but Xie Yao dotes on him very much, so he is willing to get close.

At this time, he was sitting on his uncle's lap, and if he wanted to eat something, his uncle would pick it up for him.

Cao Liang drank a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and said with a smile, "Since I came back from Jianzhou, I have never forgotten your grilled fish, and today I finally tasted it again."

Zhou Jinian persuaded the food.

Guo Tao was a little curious, "Lord Zhou has served as the magistrate of Jianzhou for two years. I haven't heard of any serious cases that require you to investigate in Dali Temple. How did Master Cao know Master Zhou?"

"It's no wonder you don't know. Brother Deng and I received a secret decree to overturn the case for Concubine Ying's brother. The case was settled smoothly and quickly, so there was no big trouble."

"So that's how it is." Guo Tao was also well versed in the way of being an official, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said to Zhou Jinian with some envy: "Master Zhou is really a genius from heaven, and he is also good at handling cases."

Now except for the different departments, Mr. Zhou is on an equal footing with him. It took him ten years in Beijing to secure his position as Minister of Industry.

Cao Liang laughed loudly, and raised his glass to toast Guo Tao, "Master Guo has done a great job in preventing floods, and it is also a happy event for the Holy One to bestow a house. I would like to toast Mr. Guo."

Guo Tao drank a glass, the sweet-scented osmanthus wine didn't burn his throat, so it's okay to drink more, and he refilled another glass to celebrate the lonely year of the week.

"Master Zhou is on the rise, and Huang Shilang has recommended him in every possible way. I heard that Concubine Ying in the harem is also very interested in wooing her. Brother Zhou's official career is going well. Don't forget that we, Wu Yue, are in the same boat."

Guo Tao was straightforward, and after a few glasses of wine, he revealed everything he knew and heard.

Cao Liang and Deng Shiqiang were more careful in their minds and only listened to few words.

These words made Zhou Jinian very vigilant. Huang Shilang is Huang Dunyi. Huang Dunyi sent him to the poor and remote Nanyu County, but he tried his best to ensure that he enters Beijing. What is the meaning of this?

And Concubine Ying?This Qu Yingying is a harem girl, what does she want to do?

Are the two teaming up?If they really join forces, what are these two planning?
