Chapter 824 Family and girlfriends

Xiaobei came from Huizhou. In addition to the shocking news that Wang Fulin might be about to be promoted to his grandfather, there is also good news about Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei.≤. Although it was mentioned in the letters before, there is no vivid description of Xiaobei? Wang Erniang, who married to the Wu family in Xixinan, gave birth to a girl for the first time. However, because her mother's family was capable, the Wu family in Xixinan and Wang family in Songmingshan, had been married for several generations. The mother-in-law's family was baptized for three months, a full month, and a hundred days. They were not left behind at any time, and they were all lively. After Wang Xiaomei took out her private money to treat her father-in-law and received Wang Fulin's subsidy, she was pregnant at the end of the year and is now being offered as a treasure by her husband's family.

"My sister also said that after her father-in-law recovered from illness, she blamed her mother-in-law severely. Her mother-in-law's family also sent a group of relatives and friends, and almost made her mother-in-law faint. Even Mrs. Fang wrote a letter. The housekeeper Daquan took her over before. Although the mother-in-law wanted to make trouble, she was always cleaned up by her after a while. Now she is pregnant and her mother-in-law is about to take the housekeeper, but her father-in-law said that she and her son-in-law moved to a villa at the foot of Nanshan Mountain in Yanzhen to get a baby, and she happened to have a care with her uncle."

"My elder brother-in-law also donated a student in the Imperial College in Nanjing. Now he is a classmate with Qiufeng. The mother-in-law at home nodded, and the elder sister went to Nanjing to take care of her. Although the elder brother-in-law rarely comes back for a day or two a month, and the couple is often separated, I heard that life is very good, and there are many people in Huizhou in Nanjing, and there are always people taking care of her."

She has been staying in a deceitful place like the capital. Now after a long reunion, Wang Fulin is not bored when he hears the family matters, but he feels much more relaxed. The same is true for Xiaobei. She used to hate these trivial little things the most, but now she can't help but talk one by one. Until she finally closed her eyes in a daze, she seemed to hear Wang Fulin's murmur coming from the pillow.

"It's good that their lives can be peaceful..."

As a court official, as long as it is not a day off, it is light to get up when you wake up when you smell a chicken. When you encounter morning court, you will get up before dawn. Wang Fulin's biological clock is now very accurate. When he opens his eyes, the sky outside is still dark. In this weather that has not yet been completely warm, the sun naturally rises very late. Therefore, he took a look at Xiaobei who was sleeping in the bed and was sleeping in his eyes and closed his fragrance. He gently stepped down from the bed and dressed in his clothes, trying not to disturb her. However, when he pulled his shoes and walked to the door leading to the outside, he only heard a confused sound coming from behind him.

"Who? Who is walking around the house at night? Is Ah Mao crying again?"

When Wang Fulin turned around, he saw Xiaobei standing up halfway, sleepy eyes, and looking like he was about to wake up. He simply walked back, sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "Why, I thought he was in Huizhou?"

"Huh?" Xiaobei woke up a little bit and realized that she was not in Huizhou or on the road. She suddenly relaxed. But when Wang Fulin wanted to press her to continue lying down, she yawned, "As for the local customs, you have already gotten up, I should get up too..."

"It's only been a few days since then? Today I'm going to court, and it's my turn to be the Censor of the Jingyi. I can't get up so early. Why do you get up? There's not so much to deal with at home, so I've been walking on the road for so many days, just sleep well for two days before talking about other things. Be obedient and continue to sleep."

Xiaobei naturally knew that the words before made sense, but after hearing the last five words, she couldn't help but glared at Wang Fulin angrily. But after lying back, watching him get up and go out, he heard the rustling outside shouting people coming in to serve and wash, and with breakfast, she gradually fell asleep in the series of sounds. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright. Cuizhu, the most confidant girl beside her, stayed in Guangdong to marry Yu Wen. Fangrong and Fangshu, who were originally following, were no longer used to riding horses since she was young, so she could only take her to Beijing in disguise.

Last night, the divorce was better than the newlyweds. She asked someone to pack up her things in the middle of the night. She naturally remembered that even though she was an old couple, not a young girl with tender faces, but now when she was changing clothes, her waist and knees were sore, she could still feel the smile on her mother Yan's face, so she was naturally embarrassed. When she was dressed neatly, she was still a little sleepy and asked, "When is the time now?"

"Mrs. It's the beginning of Si (nine o'clock)." Now Yan's mother has changed her name without realizing it. After talking about it, she added, "It's still early."

At the beginning!

Thinking that even though she was in Huizhou, she had never slept so late, Xiaobei immediately took a breath. However, when she came to her senses, she thought that there were not so many things inside and outside the house and that her son Amao was not there, although she was still a little embarrassed, she relaxed. When she left the inner room and had breakfast, she thought that yesterday she was only half an hour earlier than Wang Fulin and was busy placing the suitcase cage. She didn't have time to ask, and then she hurriedly asked: "Who was in charge of this family before?"

"The family's expenses and accounting books are managed by Xianggong Chen, but Xianggong Chen often goes to the Xu family to ask Grand Master Xu to give advice on his studies and write calculations, and most of the things Wang Siming in the outer courtyard is under the jurisdiction of Wang Siming."

Because Yan's mother stayed in Huizhou to serve Xiaobei's childbirth, the one who came to Beijing with Wang Fulin was Wu's mother recommended by the aunt He Wei in Songyuan. At this time, she stood in front of Xiaobei and reported respectfully: "As for the work assigned by the inner courtyard, I was in charge of it. However, later the family became bigger and became a neighbor of the Cheng family. The young master joked and asked the big grandmother to the process, but was blocked by the eldest son, saying that even if the two families walked around like a family, there was no Cheng family who was in charge of the Wang family's affairs. Besides, the Wang family did not have so many meticulous tasks, just clean up."

Seeing that Mrs. Wu had just said something, she explained the personnel matters clearly. Xiaobei nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I will ask him back. Wang Siming asked him to continue, and just send the account book to me every ten days to check. As for the inner courtyard, Mrs. Wu, please continue to take care of me. I see that the house is in order, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, there is nothing to change."

Wu's mother knew that Wang Daokun and Wang Fulin's nephew were having a quarrel. Although Wang Fulin continued to use Wang Ji and Wang Xiang as the gatekeeper, he never said anything serious to him, but he was much more cautious than before. Now the serious hostess has returned from Huizhou, but she still kind to her and has no intention of seizing power at all. She couldn't help but feel relieved. After agreeing with a smile, she bowed her knees and saluted. Just as she was about to leave, Xiaobei asked again: "Who is serving the study room? Or are those letters of worship, or those Xianggong Chen's business?"

"The master always does his own work in the study, and does not need anyone to serve him. However, the letters and letters of Mr. Chen are sorted out and classified."

"I got it, you go down."

Waiting for a baby in Huizhou, and after giving birth, Xiaobei felt that she was living a life like a pig. If she were not mother-in-law Wu, she finally knew that more activities were conducive to childbirth, and she wanted to offer her. But as for the matter, she would really not need to do anything at all. At most, she discussed with her mother-in-law when giving gifts during festivals. So much so that she was idle, and all kinds of literati notes and folk arts books have been read in many dynasties. After giving birth, the energy-filled Ah Mao, who was crying all day long, was so messy that the family was full of energy.

According to her mother-in-law Wu, she has never seen such a difficult child to take care of, and she has never cared about those trivial matters.

So since she was not here, Wang Fulin had made arrangements properly, so she didn't have the intention of seizing power. At this time, she first made a good move to her new home, and then went to the study to meet Chen Bingchang. She still looked shy as if she had been before, but her youthful aura faded a lot. She asked with a smile: "Do your elder brother often come to me? Are you used to staying in the capital?"

"Everything is very good." Chen Bingchang nodded, and then said a little embarrassedly, "Even if I eat and use it, I still have a salary, and I have to take care of my studies. I feel ashamed of having to take care of my studies."

"But you have written and sorted out a lot of things for him in the past two years, right?"

When Xiaobei said this, Chen Bingchang wanted to lower his head: "But those mute guests outside can do anything, and can do anything..."

"Since you said that there are some capable people outside, if your brother Wang wanted to, he would have recruited people long ago. Isn't the family so small that it is not enough to collect a few more people? In Guangdong, you had Xu and Du Gong as your company. Now he must be the one who thinks that there is enough staff. No matter how powerful a person is, he can still take him to the Censorate to help him with official duties?" Chen Bingchang was comforted in a few words. When he took the thick stack of prayer books and returned to his room, Xiaobei suddenly saw Mama Wu walking over quickly.

"Young Madam, Grandma Cheng is here!"

“Huh?”

Xiaobei didn't bother to put things, so he hurriedly followed Wu's mother to meet him. When she got the person, she saw that the close friend who was in Huizhou was plump and smiling. She was no longer as shy as before and didn't dare to speak loudly, so she almost didn't dare to recognize him. When she thought of what happened to Xu Wei and she and Xu Wei had to scare Cheng Naixuan, she felt that it seemed like they had happened in her previous life.

Since Wang Fulin returned to his hometown in the third year of Wanli and then went to inspect Guangdong, she and Xu Yao have never met again. After a little unfamiliarity after meeting again for a long time, the two have returned to their original closeness.

"It's just that my sister-in-law is not young. Because my mother is not in good health, she is very busy. She has to serve sick people all day long and take care of me, and she had to take care of me who is healthy before. Last time she moved to the house to live in a warm home, she also guarded me at home." Speaking of this, Xu Yao couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, then looked at Xiaobei and said, "Do you want to see your sister-in-law today? If you want to go, I'll go with you."

Xiaobei heard that Xu Yao was pregnant again, and couldn't help laughing. The relationship between his sister-in-law and sister-in-law was the most difficult, but Ye Mingyue was smart and smart, and Xu Yao was shy and timid. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law met at the Yixiang Club, but now they have the chance to be sister-in-law, but it's great. She has indeed not seen her sister for a long time, and she was raised up at this time. She glanced at the prayer post on the hand of Yan's mother, and thought for a moment and said, "Then let's send a post first. Although it's my sister, your sister-in-law, Xu Xueshi is also Jinbao's teacher, but if you kill it like this, there is no preparation at all. If you have time there, let's go in the afternoon."

Xu Yao naturally had no objection to this. He knew that Xiaobei had just arrived in the capital, and the stack of prayers was also eye-catching, so she sat for a while and said goodbye to her first. When she left, Xiaobei received the prayers from her mother, and looked at her official title one by one. She said, "I have heard that my husband is so famous in the capital. Look, there are actually fourth-rank officials who are visiting... Hey, this Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple looks so familiar... Ah, I remembered it!"

Xiaobei jumped up suddenly, put all the other visitors aside on the tables, and only pointed the one in his hand at Yan's mother: "Mom, look, Xie Tingjie!"

"Oh, it's not the great master of the school that year the young master entered school? Later, the young master received a lot of care."

"Yes, it's been eight years in a flash!" Xiaobei said as he pinched his fingers and then said thoughtfully, "But, as his official position, you shouldn't send a post... Moreover, Mom, although his post was not as flattering as others, he also mentioned the old friend and left an address, but he lived in the outer city."

"Now the inner city of the capital is small and there are many people, and the houses are expensive. When Yuan Fu was the second servant, he lived in the outer city. After all, he could still buy a affordable but spacious mansion there. However, it was the robbery alley next to the streets of Muma City... The place was really bad, and I didn't expect that Lord Xie would live there." Mother Yan also felt a little incredible, and said immediately, "How about keeping the young master back, let's talk about it?"

"He is a busy man. I heard that he had been living in the Censorate before and didn't come back. It's hard to guarantee whether he would be like this today. Lord Xie had been outside before, and he had been in charge of Nanzhili and Zhejiang. His official voice has always been very good. After the Censor, he heard that he was promoted to the Chief of Dali Temple in Nanjing. I don't know when he would be transferred to the capital. Let Chen Bingchang send a reply in person, so he is more respectful. After all, my husband is all junior in age, whether he is senior or senior. Well, before going to the outer city, let Chen Bingchang go to the Censorate and talk to him, so that it is more comprehensive."

Naturally, his mother Yan would not have any words about this. Xiaobei went to see Chen Bingchang personally and gave instructions. After replies these prayers as needed, they kept it as if they were not the case, and even those that needed Wang Fulin to deal with them personally, she sorted out the fine and soft materials she had brought from Huizhou before and received the reply from the Xu family. After learning that her sister Ye Mingyue was free in the afternoon, she went to the Cheng family to meet Xu Yao after lunch. The two of them took the same car out. However, when they got off in front of the Xu family, they saw two people around Ye Mingyue at the second door.

"Yuanchun, Jianchun!"

Xiaobei couldn't help but be surprised and happy, so he ran over with his skirt. Seeing her like this, Shi Jianchun, who had always been active, suddenly forgot that he was a married woman. He also took two steps forward and held her four hands tightly together.
