Chapter 338 When Jiang Ren returned to Beichang Mansion from Beijingguan, A Nian's official duties were basically completed.
Everyone went to the peak to report their duties and communicate with each other.
Seeing that Jiang Ren was doing well and had brought back a lot of things, A Nian and Sister Zijin discussed returning to Shahe County.
Although He Gong and Shen were reluctant to leave, they also knew that as the New Year was approaching, Anian, as the head of a county, would definitely return to Shahe County.
On the other hand, Mrs.
He is fine, and Brother Xing is fine.
Brother Xing said, "Sister, brother-in-law, Brother Aren, you go back first.
After the Chinese New Year, my grandmother and I will go there."
He then told his sister, "Sister, While I'm away, keep an eye on Ah Ye and Ah Xi, and don't let them fight all the time."
He Zijin responded with a smile, "Okay, I understand."
Then, Brother Xing said something like asking his sister, brother-in-law, and Brother Aren to go slowly on the road, don’t be anxious, keep warm, and don’t freeze.
The adults heard this with smiles on their faces, and Brother Jun knocked on Brother Xing’s forehead.
With one note, he said, "I've finished talking to you, what more can we say."
Brother Xing rubbed his forehead and said unhappily, "I haven't finished speaking yet."
He still had many things to say to his sister, brother-in-law, and Brother Aren.
Brother Jun squeezed Brother Xing's back and said, "Brother Aren, you have to take me with you when you return to the Imperial Capital next year.
I will go to the Imperial Capital with Brother Aren to visit my grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt, and gain some experience." ” He Gong said, "Whoever wins the prize will go."
Brother Jun has always been lively.
When his father said this, he was very depressed and begged his father, "Dad, I am only twelve years old.
How can I be a scholar?"
He Gong said, "Your brother-in-law became a scholar at your age."
Brother Jun shouted, "Dad, you must have been white when your brother-in-law was taking the exam."
He Gong smiled slightly, "That's why I didn't clamor to go to the Imperial Capital at that age."
No matter how the father and son quarreled, Mrs.
Shen took her daughter and son-in-law and told her to go slowly on the road, not to hurry, and to go home and take a rest before busying with official duties.
Mrs.
Shen babbled for a while, and couldn't help but smile, "The words are still there.
Brother Xing is really done."
Everyone laughed, it was not parting after not seeing each other for a long time.
After saying a few words, He Zijin and others said goodbye to their elders, got on their horses, got on their cars, and set off back to Shahe County.
He Zijin, A Nian, Jiang Ren and his party set out from Shahe County to Beichang Prefecture at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.
By the time they returned to Shahe County, it was already the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month.
At this time, there was heavy snow in the sky, and few people were walking on the streets.
A Nian would pat the snowflakes on his body every quarter of an hour.
Seeing that the door of the house was approaching, everyone was very happy.
When they arrived at the Yamen, A Nian said to everyone, "Don't rush to unload the goods now.
Everyone is very cold.
Let's go inside first and have a bowl of sugar-watered eggs to warm ourselves up."
Everyone responded.
A Nian first helped Zijin's sister to the back house, and Wanzi and others came out to greet her.
He Zijin stamped his feet and said, "It's a good thing our clothes and boots are thick, otherwise we would have been frozen in this cold weather."
Touching Anian's hand, it was also warm.
"Yes."
Ah Nian said, "The woolen socks my sister made for me are especially good."
The two of them talked and walked into the house together.

The room was very warm, so Xiaosha Xiaohe hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them put on their clothes, and brought them warm water to wash themselves.
After finishing cleaning up, Wanzi brought two bowls of sugar-watered eggs.
After eating them, he really felt warm from the inside out.
As soon as A Nian warmed up, he went to the front again.
He Zijin asked Wanzi what happened at home these days when they went to Beichang Mansion.
Wanzi ordered Xiaosha to take down the bowl of sugar-watered eggs and hold a cup of hot tea.
He said, "There is nothing else to do at home.
Our eldest man and eldest daughter have been staying at Master Chaoyun's place.
Mrs.
Duan came here first.
I said hello to my wife, and I went back after knowing that my wife had gone to the state capital.
A few days ago, Mrs.
Duan came again, saying that she wanted to report to her about the Rouge Shop at the end of the year. " He Zijin nodded, and she sat for a while.
After A-Nian had sorted out the New Year's gifts given to Luo Daru by General Ji, the two of them put on their coats again and went to Master Chaoyun to say hello and send New Year's gifts.
Pick up the kids.
Master Chaoyun and Luo Daru are admiring the snow in the pavilion.
The pavilion is a warm pavilion, surrounded on three sides by thick Shu brocade.
The floor is covered with an overseas-style carpet, with a low couch on the carpet and a chess table and chessboard in the couch. , Master Chaoyun and Luo Daru are playing chess.
A low table was set up on one side, with some fresh fruits on it.
Aye and Axi were playing in the pavilion.
When Axi saw her parents coming back, she immediately ran down the pavilion and threw herself into her mother's arms.
Aye also wanted to run, but he probably felt that this kind of behavior was less temperamental, so he held himself back.
He stopped walking and looked enviously at his fat sister running into his mother's arms like a little meat ball.
Ah Ye stood at the entrance of the pavilion and waited very restrainedly until his father and mother took a few steps forward.
Then he put on what he thought was the most elegant look and said in a loud voice, "Dad, mother, I want to do that too."
You guys."
Then he opened his little arms to his father, asking for a hug.
Ah Nian did not hug him, but looked down at Ah Ye without saying a word.
Aye was a little anxious and reminded his father, "Dad, mom hugged Axi."
You have to hug me too.
Ah Nian was very surprised and said, "Why is his speech suddenly so fluent now?"
In the past, his son was a word-for-word teacher.
Aye felt worried when he saw that his father never hugged him, so he said sweetly, "I miss what daddy wants."
Ah Nian smiled, leaned over and picked up his son.
Ah Ye breathed a sigh of relief, finally not losing face.
The young couple met Master Chaoyun.
Master Chaoyun put aside the chess pieces for a while and said with a smile, "I figured you should have arrived a few days ago.
I think the snow delayed the trip."
He Zijin sat on a round stool by the side, held Axi on his knees, and said, "I didn't dare to walk fast when I left.
When I came back, it snowed heavily again.
Every time I came back, I spent more money than before."
After five or six days, Brother Aren went to Beijingguan again, and General Ji asked Brother Aren to bring a new year gift to Mr.
Luo. " Luo Daru nodded and asked about General Ji's current situation.
It was impossible for Jiang Ren to find out too much about General Ji, but he was lucky enough to meet General Ji.
Luo Daru felt relieved knowing that General Ji was in good health.

Jiang Ren also sent a personal letter written by General Ji to Luo Daru.
Luo Daru accepted it but did not open it immediately.
Now that the young couple had returned, they took their babies home to live with them.
Axi was still a little reluctant to part with Patriarch Yun, waving her little hand and said, "Grandpa, come tomorrow."
It meant that she would come tomorrow.
A Ye also nodded along with him, quite reluctant to give up.
He looked at his father and mother as if they had a toothache.
He Zijin smiled and said, "As for that, seeing the sky in one place, you still can't let go." " She just smiled casually, but who knew that the two unscrupulous little guys actually nodded seriously, which made their mother very depressed.
Master Chaoyun laughed out loud and said to them, "Go and stay with your parents first.
Tomorrow morning I will ask Uncle Wen Dao to pick you up."
The two of them became happy and ran over to kiss Master Chaoyun before following their parents home.
Their parents are not around these days, but the two little guys still miss their parents.
Axi also gave his mother a toy to see.
He Zijin saw that it was a bamboo whistle and said with a smile, "Oh, who bought this for me?"
yours” Axi said, "Uncle Dao, you made it for me."
Ah Ye asked about my great-grandmother and uncle.
Knowing that after the Chinese New Year, both great-grandmother and uncle would come over again, and said, "I heard that uncle Dao gave me the whistle, so I left one for my uncle."
He Zijin asked them again if they had been good these days.
Ah Ye immediately showed his mother a few pages of the thousand-character essay that she had learned recently.
Ah Xi, Ah Xi also wanted to show it, but she didn't memorize it, so she chewed it.
Her flesh-gnawing fingers went over to strangle her brother She picked up her brother from her waist, making her brother scream in fear.
Axi put her brother back on the ground again.
Axi giggled and showed off her little fists and arms.
Fen'er said proudly, "Ah "Xi is very powerful" and feels that she is no worse than her brother.
Ah Ye was so angry that he called his sister, "Fat Xi, Fat Xi" Axi punched him, and Aye punched his sister back.
Knowing that he was no match for his sister, he immediately ran away.
Ah Xi was not willing to suffer such a loss, so she ran over to chase and beat her brother.
He Zijin hurriedly stopped his daughter and said with a smile, "Don't fight.
Don't fight.
Grandma has brought a lot of things to you.
Do you want to take a look?"
As soon as she heard that there was a gift, Axi stopped chasing her brother.
However, Aye also wanted to see if her grandmother's gift was good, but it happened that he had just offended his sister, and he did not dare to go there because he was afraid that her sister would beat him. , I had to stretch my little fleshy neck far away to look at the gift given by my grandmother.
It's just that you can't see clearly from a distance.
Even if you can see clearly, you can't play nearby.
Fortunately, Ah Ye was smart.
He took off a small silver bracelet from his wrist and handed it to his sister.
Axi rolled her eyes and stretched out two fat fingers.
Aye had no choice but to pick up another one.
Axi accepted the silver bracelets from her brothers and put them on her own wrists, so she stopped chasing her brother for the time being.
Ah Ye felt a little sad and went over to look at the gifts that his grandmother had given them.
As for the various diplomatic negotiations between the two children to cede land and pay compensation, He Zijin had given up on himself and didn't intend to take care of it.
Aye became happy as soon as he saw the gift that his grandmother gave them.
For no other reason, he bribed his sisters with small silver bracelets as compensation for the land they had just ceded to them in order to get a truce.
Among the gifts that their grandmother gave them were new small silver bracelets.

Aye He was happily about to put on a new bracelet, but his sister shook her fist in front of him again, so Aye had no choice but to swallow his anger and let his sister pick first.
The small silver bracelets prepared by Mrs.
Shen are a pair for each person.
One pair is decorated with broken lotus flowers.
The color of the other pair is Lianyun Ruyi.
The lotus one is for A Xi and the Ruyi one is for A Ye.
There are also small flower hairpins and small bells, all of which are exquisite and cute.
A Xi spent a long time choosing, and said to her mother, "Mom, I like them all."
Can you not give it to her brother?
As soon as Axi said this, Aye became anxious.
He kept chanting around Axi, "This, this, you, you can't, grandma, give it to me, too."
Her brother became anxious again.
Mr.
One word, one word.
He Zijin said, "No, you can choose first, but you can only choose half.
The rest belongs to your brother."
Ah Xi was not unreasonable.
She would grab the good stuff even if she wanted to, but her mother said so and still kept half of it for her brother.
Seeing that he had kept his gift, Aye finally put down his little heart hanging in the air.
Afraid that his sister would be unhappy, he went over and whispered to his sister.
This boy was clever, and after a while he He made his sister smile happily, and even asked for one of the two bracelets he had just received as compensation for the loss of land.
After a while, the two of them were happily playing hand in hand.
The child was good and bad at times, so He Zijin didn't care at all.
When she came back, there were many things to do.
Mrs.
Jian, the bookkeeper, Mrs.
Jian, Zhuang Dian, Mrs.
Zhuang, and Mrs.
Duan all came to say hello and give New Year gifts. something.
Here, He Zijin first ordered and arranged the New Year gifts to honor Master Chaoyun, and also prepared for the New Year banquet and other things.
Not to mention that Shahe is just a small place, it is well-equipped even though it is small.
During the Chinese New Year, the county government will also prepare a banquet and invite the gentry in the county.
Similarly, He Zijin will also be invited to go out for New Year’s wine.
Furthermore, there is a temple fair in the county during the Chinese New Year.
During the New Year, the county government will provide money to invite some opera troupes and juggling troupes to entertain for a few days.
People from all over the county can come and watch, which is also a grand event in the county.
Therefore, A-Nian and Sister Zijin were both extremely busy.
Even Wanzi is only in charge of the kitchen now, and the cooking is left to his disciple Xiaozi.
Wanzi has other affairs to take care of.
She grew up with He Zijin since she was a child.
She also knew a few words and knew how to make an abacus.
Now she has become He Zijin's right-hand man, helping to regulate New Year's gifts, purchase goods, and prepare banquets.
She is completely in charge of the inner house.
Crossover.
Just like that, the manpower was a little nervous, and He Zijin was thinking about buying some girls and boys in the spring.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Thinking of how casually he talked about buying people, He Zijin couldn't help but laugh at himself.
She really did as the Romans did.
Being able to laugh at oneself proves that life is going smoothly.
Mrs.
Duan came over to report the bill to Rouge Shop to He Zijin a few years ago.
He Zijin did not expect that the red ginseng moisturizing cream he made was so effective, and he was a little surprised.
Mrs.
Duan smiled and said, "Madam is used to using this ointment, so she didn't notice it.
It's windy and snowy in the north, so it's suitable for rouge and gouache."
Just less.
Therefore, the people in the north are not as moist and delicate as the people in the south.
The first time my wife gave it to me, I felt that it was much better than what I used in this place.
It seems to be a remote area, but there are many rich people in the market, and women will pay any amount of money for this face."
He Zijin smiled, "That's true, most women are willing to spend money for their appearance."
Mrs.
Duan was also happy.
This year has been quite lively.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when they got up in the morning, He Zijin and A Nian first took their children to Master Chaoyun to pay New Year greetings.
They ate dumplings together and sat for a while.
A Nian and Zi Jin My sister has to go to the county government office.
They have a lot of entertainment today.
Unlike when He Zijin first came to Shahe County, the circle of women's family members was still headed by the Yan family and the Jin family, but now the circle of women's family members in Shahe County is surrounded by official wives headed by Mrs.
Jian, Mrs.
Zhuang, and Mrs.
Duan, surrounding He Zijin.
There was also a constant banquet at A Nian's place.
Fortunately, he was a county official, so he could drink just a little bit of wine on his lips.
However, Jiang Ren and Yu Biaotou, one was a cousin of the wife-respecting family in Jiangxiao County, and the other had taken refuge in Jiangxiao.
The bodyguards of the county magistrate and all the officials in Shahe County knew that these two were close friends of the county magistrate Jiang Xiao, and they did not dare to offend the magistrate Jiang Xiao.
They were not polite to Jiang Renyu, the head escort.
The Chinese New Year is very lively, and the one who feels disappointed is probably Mr.
Jian.
Master Jian once wanted to seek the position of county magistrate left by Ma County Prime Minister.
For this reason, he gave generous gifts to Jiangxiao County Zun and his wife.
Jiangxiao County Zun did not have any objections, so he just went with Jian to seek the position of county magistrate.
Yes, because no matter who becomes the county magistrate again, it is impossible for him to seize the power of the county government like Ma Xian Cheng did.
As a result, Master Jian didn't know whether it was due to poor connections or bad luck.
In short, he didn't get the position of county magistrate, so he was a little depressed.
Fortunately, he was originally a short-term bookkeeper in the county.
He was so depressed that it was too late for everyone to flatter him in front of Jiangxiao County Lord.
How could he be in the mood to take care of the bookkeeper Jian.
During the Chinese New Year, the happiest people should be Axi and Aye.
These two people received many red envelopes, one for each parent, one for Chaoyun master Luo Daru, and Jiang Ren also gave them twins.
Prepare red envelopes.
Furthermore, the wives of subordinates who come to the county government office to pay New Year greetings all receive red envelopes when they see their twins.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Only these ladies and grandmothers came with their children, and He Zijin also prepared red envelopes for the children to play with.
It's Chinese New Year, let's have some fun.
However, after a few days of socializing, He Zijin sent the twins to Master Chaoyun.
The children were too young and it was enough to experience the excitement of the festival.
In the first lunar month, there was another heavy snowfall in Shahe County.
Along with this heavy snow, a little guest came to Luo Daru.
Luo Daru sent his old servant Lao Huang to ask Anian and He Zijin to come over and meet the young guest.
He Zijin also asked Mr.
Huang, "Who is so mysterious?"
Old Man Huang didn't say anything yet and said with a smile, "The county's wife will know when she comes over."
As soon as the two of them left, He Zijin smiled, took Jiang Ying's hand and said, "My sister is coming, why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could send someone to pick you up."
It was Jiang Ying who came.
Jiang Ying and He Zijin have known each other since they were young.
Although He Zijin has a closer relationship with Jiang Ying's mother, Mrs.
Jiang, mainly because of how old Jiang Ying is, He Zijin has known each other for a long time, not to mention that He Zijin is the same as Mrs.
Jiang.
We have a good friendship, and we are also good friends with Jiang Yingzi.
He Zijin was very happy to see Jiang Ying coming to Shahe County.
Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Uncle Ji wrote to Mr.
Luo last year, wanting to send my brother over to study.
Uncle Ji can't leave Beijingguan, and my mother is pregnant and can't travel far, so I might as well send my brother over here."
I think Sister He and Brother-in-law are here, so it’s time for me to visit.”
"We sisters, we don't need to see each other outside."
He Zijin thought that Mrs.
Jiang was pregnant again, and he couldn't be happier for Mrs.
Jiang.
When I turned around and saw the little boy talking to the twins, it was surprising enough just to see him at first sight.
This little boy is older than the twins, but he is only five or six years old at best.
Although he is only five or six years old, compared to the fat Axi and the talkative Aye, this little boy is already With long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a snow-white skin, we can imagine how handsome he will be in the future.
To put it bluntly, this young man is more handsome than his half-sister Jiang Ying, and he probably looks like his father.
Thinking of General Ji's ruined half of his face, and then looking at Ji Dalang's handsome features, we can see how handsome General Ji was before his appearance was ruined.
Ji Dalang hugged his fists in a stylish manner, and said seriously with a delicate face, "Hello, sister He, and brother-in-law Jiang."
He had obviously been taught by his elders, so he knew about He Zijin and A Nian.
Seeing how cute he was, He Zijin asked him with a smile, "When did you arrive, are you tired or hungry?"
Ji Dalang said, "I just arrived a while ago.
I drank some ginger syrup and I'm not tired."
He Zijin hugged him and asked him what his name was.
Ji Dalang said, "The name is a precious word."
Ji Dalang is articulate and speaks clearly, and he is already quite polite at a young age.
He Zijin introduced the twins to Ji Dalang, and Axi took Ji Dalang's hand and said, "Mom, we, Brother Ji."
It means they all know each other.
He Zijin nodded with a smile, remembered something, and said quickly, "You can't call me brother, you should call me uncle."
The twins looked at Ji Dalang with wide eyes, and some didn't understand why He Zijin called them uncle.
He Zijin said to them, "Ji Dalang calls me sister, but you can't call him uncle.
Brother Xing also calls me sister, and you also call me uncle." ” After saying this, the twins understood.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Because they had a younger uncle, they called Ji Dalang Uncle Ji.
Ji Dalang was worthy of being born in a general's palace.
When he saw the twins, he called him uncle.
He took out two small jade pendants from his purse, one for each person.
The two thanked Ji Dalang and took the jade pendant.
Axi gave Ji Dalang a piece of her favorite milk candy, and Aye gave Ji Dalang the smelly bamboo whistle hanging from her waist.
Then, the two of them took Ji Dalang out to play.
He Zijin quickly asked, "It's snowing outside, where are you going?"
Axi said, "Watch the snow on the porch."
Jiang Ying gave his younger brother a small fox fur cloak to wear, and then let his younger brother play with the twins.
Because Ji Dalang was still young, Jiang Ying would stay with him in Shahe County for a while.
He Zijin invited Jiang Ying to live in the county government office.
He Zijin said, "Although my place is not as refined as Master Chaoyun's, there are still a few rooms available.
It’s just right for Dalang and Aye and Axi to be familiar with each other.
Anyway, they will always be together in the future.”
Jiang Ying was not a shy person and agreed happily.
After Jiang Ying and Ji Dalang were settled properly, a reception was held at the county government office in the evening.
Since the two siblings had come from afar, He Zijin let Jiang Ying and Ji Dalang rest after dinner.
However, He Zijin couldn't figure out why General Ji sent his young eldest son to Luo Daru.
After the children were all asleep, He Zijin quietly talked about this matter with A Nian.
A Nian took Zi Jin's sister to the bed to rest, and said in silence for a long time, "Dalang is the eldest son of General Ji.
General Ji made an appointment with him because he wanted to be with us later."
His general sent him back to the imperial capital."
He Zijin was stunned for a moment, then realized something.
He couldn't help frowning and asked Anian, "Is it possible that all the generals stationed on the border have their families in the imperial capital?"
A Nian knew more about the officialdom than Zijin's sister.
A Nian said, "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, Uncle Zhongyong stationed at Xining Pass has been your Majesty's beloved daughter-in-law.
He is the only daughter you have, and I heard you cherish him very much.
Since Zhongyong The uncle was stationed at Xining Pass, and Her Royal Highness the Princess followed.
Pingyuan Hou was stationed at Nan'an Pass.
Pingyuan Hou was born in the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and his mother, Princess Wenkang, was Jinshang's direct aunt.
These two generals heard that Jinshangping had followed Jinshang Zhibian when he judged the Jiangnan Rebellion. ."
There is no need for Anian to say the following words.
Uncle Zhongyong has a princess who is more reliable than anything else.
Pingyuanhou's parents are both in the imperial capital, and Pingyuanhou is the son of the eldest princess, with half of the royal blood.
General Wei Ji has no father, no mother, no relatives, and General Ji had no friendship with him at that time.
If General Ji wants to stay in Beijingguan for a long time, he must send his eldest son back to the imperial capital.
It's hard to say he's a proton.
After all, General Ji is just a general stationed in Guan.
But with the eldest son in the imperial capital, it is true that the court is relieved, and General Yu Ji will probably be able to further his career.
Of course, Dalang is too young now, and General Ji is probably reluctant to send his child to the imperial capital so early, so he sent his eldest son to Luo Daru.
After all, Master Chaoyun is here.
A Nian believed that there must be people from the imperial court around Master Chaoyun.
No matter what the emperor's intentions were, he would definitely arrange appropriate people to serve Master Chaoyun.
Because of this, General Ji couldn't bear to send his eldest son to the imperial capital at a young age, so he sent his eldest son to Master Chaoyun first, where he would be enlightened and taught by Luo Daru.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
When the eldest son grew up, he would be sent to the imperial capital.
Thinking of the political mission Ji Dalang had to undertake at such a young age, and the key was such a hard-working political mission equivalent to a proton, He Zijin couldn't help but feel a little more pity for the little Ji Dalang.
She was a child-loving person, and she became even more friendly to Ji Dalang from then on, but she did not just dote on him.
However, He Zijin never forgot to buy Ji Dalang a piece of cake whenever Aye and Axi had it. .
Within a few days, Ji Dalang became familiar with everyone in the Jiang family.
Moreover, since Ji Dalang came, because the children played well, Axi and Aye also invited Ji Dalang to sleep with them at night.
Since the twins still sleep with their parents, the meaning of twins is that General Ji can share their parents like them.
But Ji Dalang always slept by himself at home.
Later, Ji Dalang invited the twins to sleep with him in his house.
When Mrs.
He and Brother Xing were brought over in February, the house became more and more lively.
When Brother Qi Xing saw that Ji Dalang was sleeping with twins, he didn't want to sleep with his grandmother.
He Zijin had an idea and hired craftsmen to build a large bed with a fence for the children.
The bed was big enough for four little ones to roll on. gd1806102:
