Chapter 1052: The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a wealthy peasant girl (extra)
When Xu Yin was twenty-five years old, she became pregnant with her third child.
The first two were boys, but this one is a girl. The sweet and soft little girl has become the family's favorite.
If we were to choose who is the person who dotes on his daughter the most, Comrade Xiaojin would be ranked second, and no one would dare to compete with him for first place.
No, on my daughter's first birthday, some men in the family arranged a bunch of gadgets and said they wanted to draw lots for my daughter (sister).
Mrs. Cui, who came to the door with a basket of eggs, opened her mouth and wanted to say, "It's always men who draw lots, so why do girls draw lots?" But she still held back her words.
She has also thought about it over the years.
She didn't want to leave, because she discovered that in the end, the eldest son who was separated first was the closest to her, right next to her, and he could answer her calls whenever she asked.
other children——
The second son became the door-to-door son-in-law of the shop owner of the papermaking shop in the town. He didn't come back very often. After getting married and having a small family, he still had to serve his father-in-law's mother-in-law. He only returned to Dawa Village a handful of times to read books.
Lao San passed the Juren exam four years ago, and then passed the Gongshi and Jinshi exams, and then went to another place to serve as a seventh-grade county magistrate. Because of his outstanding political performance, he wrote a letter this year saying that he was promoted, but the place he went to was still far away from Dawa.
The village is very far away, and the carriage has to travel five or six days to reach it. It is not easy to come back;
The youngest, the only daughter, followed the nobles to the capital and never came back. Until last year, the nobles from the palace came to give rewards to the eldest daughter-in-law, and brought back a piece of good news: her family Qiaoqiao came to visit her as a pilgrim.
She became a concubine in the mansion of her younger brother, the Sixth Prince.
Only then did Ms. Cui know that the nobleman her daughter saved back then was actually a prince. Although Qiaoqiao was not married to a concubine, the status of a concubine in the prince's palace was higher than that of ordinary people. When the sixth prince becomes the king in the future,
The status is even more respected.
It's a pity that her daughter didn't come to pick her up to go to the capital, otherwise she would also like to see what the capital looks like and whether it is really as bustling and lively as the slaves of the eldest daughter-in-law said.
It is obvious that each of her children is more promising than the last, but in the end, only the eldest son gets the answer when something happens. Mrs. Cui is not depressed, but what is the use of being depressed? Even depression cannot bring back the most promising third child and youngest.
At this time, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but recall that before the family was separated, her daughter had promised her that she and the third child would provide for her in old age in the future. As a result, she and the third child ran away the furthest.
So now Ms. Cui has figured it out. It is better to get along better with the boss's family and not to offend the boss's wife. In the future, she may count on the boss to support her in her old age.
Xu Yin felt a little guilty about the fact that although Cui Qiaoqiao still entered the Sixth Prince's Mansion, she was not a concubine but a concubine.
I always feel that it was her butterfly that made the emperor abdicate early to make way for the next one - leaving the great responsibility to the prince, taking the queen mother and the concubine to the royal garden with pleasant climate and beautiful scenery to retire, and there was no private visit incognito and being attacked by assassins, so that Cui was
Cui Qiaoqiao was saved by Qiaoqiao, so Cui Qiaoqiao was not granted marriage.
Without the marriage granted by the big boss, it would be difficult for her to marry the prince and become his concubine. Even if Cui Qiaoqiao revealed that the eighth-grade Sinong, who was highly valued by His Majesty, was her sister-in-law, she would not be able to take the three concubine positions.
In the end, she just became one of the many concubines in the Sixth Prince's residence, which was nothing more than favored because her good luck was indeed a bit mysterious.
Out of this guilty conscience, Xu Yin asked Sister Bai to help buy a dowry on the day Cui Qiaoqiao was brought into the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
Don't even think about expecting her mother-in-law to pay for the purchase. Ms. Cui is still complaining that her daughter didn't take her to Beijing to enjoy the blessings.
After the favorite girl has passed her first birthday, it’s time to dig up lotus roots from the bottom of the lotus pond again.
In recent years, as the lotus roots and lotus root powder grown in Xiaowa Village have been sold to towns, counties and even further places, the collective lotus ponds in the two villages have become famous far and wide as a lotus viewing destination.
Every June and July, students from the town’s academy regard this place as the best place to hold a book party. The students pay some money, and the village arranges a pavilion for them to enjoy lotuses, and serves them lotus leaf tea, lotus cakes, and tender lotus seeds.
For tea, those who are good at painting are painting, and those who are good at reciting poems are composing poems. As more and more poems and paintings are flowing out, students from other places often come in groups to enjoy the lotus flowers.
Later, they discovered that Dawa Village is beautiful in all four seasons - there are flowers in spring, moonlight in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. Since then, more and more people have been outing here. The mountains behind Dawa Village are almost flattened.
.
Of course, it is limited to a few hills outside. As for the deep mountains, these literati still dare not venture into it rashly.
Nowadays, every villager in Dawa Village has a dividend, every family has a dividend collar, and the output in the fields is also very gratifying.
In the past few years, I don't know whether it was God's good will or the soil and water in Dawa Village that have been improved. There have been no floods despite heavy rains, and the weather has been very smooth.
When the villagers got rich, under Xu Yin's call, they repaired the roads in the village: those that could be paved were paved with stone slabs, and those that could not be paved were sprinkled with pebbles to avoid muddy weather in rainy days.
After building the village road, everyone turned their attention to the road from the village to the town. The road builders were not looking for anyone else, but the villagers from the surrounding villages. If there is money, everyone can make it.
When one village becomes rich, it will bring about more surrounding villages.
Xu Yin witnessed with her own eyes the rise of Dawa Village from poverty to wealth, step by step, and was filled with emotion.
After harvesting the lotus roots, the lotus root starch processing workshop began to operate non-stop.
This year, a new product of lotus root powder - red date and white fungus lotus root powder was launched.
From the pure lotus root powder three years ago, to the osmanthus lotus root powder two years ago, to the red date lotus root powder a year ago, to this year’s red date and white fungus lotus root powder, there are more and more varieties.
In addition to the mass-priced red dates, white fungus, and lotus root powder, Xu Yin also specially ordered a batch of nuts, bird's nest, and lotus root powder to be given as gifts to the golden thighs in the palace.
In addition to lotus root starch, there is also wine in wooden barrels.
Last year she bought several acres of mountainous land to grow grapes. This was the first time she tried wine this year, but the taste was okay, so she sent a barrel to the palace official.
Beijing.
After the emperor had gone to court in the morning, he left his confidant Chen Zhanpeng behind. Just as he was about to ask him why he hadn't heard anything from Dawa Village sending anything to the capital this year, he heard a report from his subordinates: "Your Majesty, Sinong from Qinghe County sent someone to send something to the capital.
Car Mid-Autumn Festival."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Submit it quickly!"
The emperor was always particularly interested in the gifts Xu Yin gave because they were so unique and new every year. You would never guess what she would give.
Unlike other courtiers, the gifts were the same thing every time. To put it mildly, it was called compliance with regulations, but to put it worst, it was perfunctory, and he didn't even bother to look at it.
Chen Zhanpeng was also curious, what did Xu Sinong send this year?
Lotus root starch? New flavor of lotus root starch? Nut bird's nest? How can any of these go together with lotus root starch? Good thing she figured it out!
Then I saw a big wooden barrel.
"What is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is the wine brewed by Xu Sinong himself. There is a small mechanism at the bottom of the barrel. You can get the wine from here..."
After repeated inspections and poison tests, the emperor finally drank the grape wine presented by Xu Yin. The crystal clear wine and the slightly astringent and sweet aftertaste made him fall in love with it immediately.
The queen and favored concubines also received a share of the cup.
But only one cup, no more.
The rest was treasured by the emperor, who kept it to enjoy slowly. He even asked the guards who went to Dawa Village to deliver rewards to convey a message: There is no such thing as too little wine.
The implication is that one bucket is too little and it is not enough to drink, so why not send a few more buckets?
Xu Yin received the message: "..."
I can only say that Your Majesty, you have too many women in San Gong and Six Courtyards, otherwise such a large oak barrel would be too few? Are you drinking it as if it is cold?
…
A few days ago, Cui Qiaoqiao had a fight with the concubine who entered the palace half a year before her. She was so angry that she almost had a miscarriage. Fortunately, she had good luck after her rebirth and the child was saved, but she needed to stay in bed for the past few days.
I heard that the palace received a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from Xu Sinong of Dawa Village. His Majesty and all the ladies liked it very much. The reward alone filled two carriages, and they felt mixed in their hearts.
She recalled the past in a daze, why were she so alienated from her eldest brother's family?
It would have been better if the family hadn't been separated and there hadn't been any stalemate. If the eldest brother sent things to the palace, he would definitely not forget about her as a younger sister. With such good things, are you afraid that you won't be able to win over the Sixth Master?
But she just thought about it this way.
Her temper did not allow her to bow to Mrs. Xu.
If time goes back to before the separation, she still wants to drive the Xu family out of Lao Cui's family.
Who made that woman push her into a pit of fire in her last life? It would be great if she didn't retaliate in kind. Do you think that giving her a few pounds of dowry can cancel it out? Don't even think!
"Ah sneeze——"
Xu Yin, who was far away in Dawa Village, was trembling with the evening wind on the top of the mountain.
"I told you to put on some clothes and you didn't listen. Did you catch a cold?"
Cui Mengjin unfolded his cloak and put it on his wife's shoulders.
We had a lively and happy Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday, and today, a day that is rounder and brighter than the fifteenth moon, belongs to the couple alone.
Xu Yin coaxed her little girl to sleep, took him secretly up the mountain, and sat on the big rock at the top of the mountain, with the bright moon above her head and a wine glass in her hand.
Even if you are an old married couple, you still need to spend some time together as two people.
The children will grow up, and the spouse will be the one who will accompany them throughout their lives.
