Chapter 93 Your Majesty, the Yuan Family Is Ill! [Thank You for Your Support! Thank You Again! And More! ]

"When the Northern Liao came to kill, you told the Northern Liao soldiers that you can have a good New Year, can't you?"

"You are making up a story!"

So, the high officials in the court started arguing again.

The emperor didn't say anything. Seeing that everyone had almost finished arguing, he glanced at the censor and said:

"Mr. Ruan, your report on Mr. Xu has nothing to do with your youngest son's marriage, right?"

"Your Majesty! No."

The censor was stunned. It naturally had nothing to do with his youngest son's marriage, but his relative's youngest son's marriage was affected!

"That's good. Where are the people from the Herdsmen's Supervisor?" asked the emperor.

"Your Highness, Yuan Bingkai is here."

"Good, oh! You are there! How is the supply of horses for the court?"

"Your Majesty"

The court meeting ended harmoniously with the emperor's inquiries.

Zhongqinbo Yuan Bingkai left the court and sat in the carriage, thinking about the gains and losses at work.

When he was a child, he experienced the Yuan family being stripped of their titles and demoted to civilians.

At that time, the soldiers rushed into the Yuan family like tigers and wolves, leaving an indelible mark in his heart.

When he was a teenager, the Yuan family was also a noble family, and he was also a noble son. He didn't need to do anything for himself, such as eating and dressing!

But when his family was demoted, it was like falling from the clouds into the mud.

The concubine who was in love with his father climbed up the high branch again with her beauty.

And the Yuan family was miserable.

The ancients said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

The Yuan family suffered a lot in struggling to survive in Bianjing.

Later, Yuan Bingkai married when he was an adult, and his wife was also a sharp-tongued, short-sighted and selfish daughter.

Fortunately, the emperor of this dynasty ascended the throne, and the emperor was magnanimous, allowing the Yuan family to restore their titles. Yuan Bingkai got a position in the Ma Zheng Yasi with his family skills.

Let Yuan Bingkai become a noble, an official, and a superior person again.

Although Yuan Bingkai's first job was well-sounding and the high positions and positions were taken by the favored nobles, it was Yuan Bingkai who worked hard and devotedly.

He was very content. Compared with his youth, now was a good life.

When he arrived at the door of his house and got off the car, Yuan Bingkai saw the carriage of Shoushan Bo Huang's family and knew that his sister had come.

He came to the main hall of his yard and entered the house to see that in addition to his sister and Yongping Bo's wife, there was also a young stranger.

After a cup of tea, Yuan Bingkai's sister angrily lifted the curtain and walked out, followed by Yongping Bo's wife.

"Humph! Trashy thing."

"Sister, calm down, you are also a married woman, it's not good to be so controlling."

"My sister-in-law! Short-sighted sparrow!"

Walked to the carriage.

At this time, Yuan Wenshao, who came back from outside, saw his aunt and hurriedly saluted.

"Aunt!"

"Yes."

The two ladies left the Yuan family directly.

Three days later.

It was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the court.

Some officials started arguing about which horse breed was better.

Then they went off topic and talked about whether the horses of the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Northern Liao and Baigao countries who were sent to their countries should be paid for.

The emperor asked, "Where is Yuan, the horse official?"

The official of the Imperial Censorate replied, "Your Majesty, Yuan Bingkai sent a note of leave yesterday, saying that he was sick."

"Oh? Then I'll record this. Next, which of you has a report to make?"

When the real work falls ill, the work will pile up on the desk of the superior. So after the court, the horse official went to visit the Yuan family without changing his clothes.

After asking about each other's health, fortunately, the problem was not serious, but it was just that there were many things to do at the end of the year and he was a little tired.

The superior and the subordinate talked for half an hour.

Yuan Bingkai also explained in detail what his superior needed to know.

After asking Mr. Yuan to take good care of his illness, the official said goodbye.

Out of the small courtyard of the Yuan family.

The official's personal steward whispered as Yuan's family walked out:

"Master, their Erlang is also ill!"

The master and servant went out and saw the wife of the Marquis of Shoushan getting off the carriage in a hurry.

Seeing the official's official robe, the wife of the Marquis of Shoushan paused for a moment and saluted.

The two groups did not talk and just walked away.

"This is the wife of the Marquis of Shoushan, who came to see her brother."

"Well, let's go! Send some supplements later!"

"Yes, Master!"

After four or five days

it was New Year's Eve.

The festive atmosphere in Bianjing City reached its climax.

Quyuan Street

The Yongyi Marquis' Mansion,

like in previous years, cleaned, pasted peach charms and couplets, and replaced new door gods.

But at this time, Xu Zaijing was no longer watching, but could do some things on his own.

After finishing his work, Zai Zhang was playing with the cat slave in his father's room, while his sister An Mei was playing with several little maids.

My eldest sister-in-law was about to summon the cat slave, but she stopped when she saw her mother-in-law.

Another maid came to ask about the affairs of several departments in the backyard. Xie followed her mother-in-law and took her sister-in-law to observe and learn.

The eldest brother went to the surrounding alleys in advance to comfort the old soldiers of the Xu family. There were two children who died in the west.

Night fell.

The sound of firecrackers rang out in Bianjing City.

Countless lanterns lit up, making Bianjing a city that never sleeps.

After watching the fireworks show in Bianjing on the upper floor of Xu's house, Xu Minghua also returned home from the palace to eat New Year's Eve dinner.

Sun directed the housekeepers of the family to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Xie was pregnant, so it was not easy for her to be busy inside and outside. It happened that An Mei filled this position and helped Sun do a lot of work.

It can be considered as learning the necessary knowledge of a qualified lady in advance.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, the family played games such as pitching pots, and the whole family laughed and laughed in the house.

Xu Zaiduan's three brothers also drank a lot, watching all this with a smile on their faces.

In the second half of the night, the Xu Mansion gradually became less lively.

As Xu Zaijing grew older, he naturally didn't have to go to the street to sing the ballads of selling Ruchi early.

He and his brothers and sisters, eldest sister-in-law and others greeted their parents and received red envelopes.

Watching the young maids and servants of the Xu family go to the street to shout, he laughed in his heart.

Holding a bamboo pole tied with copper coins and beating the ashes of firecrackers, everyone's prayers were different.

Sun prayed that her eldest daughter would be better in her husband's family,

Xie naturally prayed for a son,

Qingcao silently recited, and then there was some confusion in his eyes, lowered his head and thought for a while, and the appearance of his family was a little blurred.

Yinshi (4 to 5 a.m.)

The Zhu family was the first to come to the Xu family to pay New Year's greetings.

It was their first year of marriage, so the bride naturally came with joy.

Sun also gave a big red envelope.

I asked Ni, the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, about her brother and sister-in-law. She said that it was the first year that Zhu Qinghu took them to the Zhu family to celebrate the New Year.

Next year, Ni's brother, the eldest son of the Ni family, will be able to support the family independently.

Ni will also help a lot.

In the Gu family, the atmosphere has been a little bad since last night.

The fourth and fifth rooms sent a message saying that since Gu Tingyu had spoken, they would not celebrate the New Year together.

Not taking care of their own brothers, but favoring outsiders!

In addition,

the master of the Bai family returned to Yangzhou some time ago, which made Bai a little unhappy.

Also, because Gu Yankai did not celebrate the festival in Bai's yard, Bai's face was very, very ugly.

This made Gu Tingye and Gu Tingyi not dare to approach their mother.

It was still Gu Tingyu who asked Pingmei to sit next to Bai and whispered something to Bai. When Bai heard Pingmei's words, her eyes were full of surprise.

"Ping'er, are you telling the truth?"

"Mother, of course it's true. The master promised me."

"Okay, okay, then I'll prepare first."

Bai also talked to Nanny Chang, who was just as happy.

It was almost the hour of Hai when Gu Yankai returned to the courtyard where Bai was from Bilianyuan.

Yes, at Gu Tingyu's strong request, the name of the courtyard was changed.

Gu Tingyi saw his father and walked up to him happily, and asked cutely:

"Dad, why are you here now? Yi'er misses you so much!"

Gu Yankai was speechless.

You can't say that you accompany your concubine and brothers first, and finally come to accompany your daughter. That's too hurtful.

I was so ashamed that I could only lower my body.

"Yier, what do you like? Tell Daddy and I'll buy it for you!"

Thank you for your support!

I slept for three hours in a daze.

I just finished revising the last chapter.

There are still about 6,000 words left, and I'm revising it.
