Yue Zhongyao stepped out of his father-in-law's study door and saw his daughter sitting on the steps of the courtyard door, stretching her neck and looking towards the study door.
His heart suddenly softened.
Still slightly sour.
The little thing had been paying attention to the movements in the study. When he saw Yue Zhongyao opening the door and coming out, he ran over screaming.
The nanny shook her head and the maid followed behind.
Although Miss Sun is not a grandson, she is the youngest in the family and is doted on by everyone in the family. Her whole person has a rustic simplicity and liveliness.
It was just these days that I was taken to the girls' school and had to learn the rules for a few days. I stopped running and jumping when I walked. I behaved well and acted in a decent manner.
It was only today that she got the news that her biological father was looking for her, and her whole body jumped out of control again. Fortunately, the masters at home didn't care, so she couldn't say much.
Anyway, Miss Sun is still a baby, so she can still manage it even if it grows crooked.
The nanny was thinking about it when she looked up and saw the father and daughter hugging each other affectionately.
The young lady in the mansion has always smiled without showing her teeth. She has been taught this since she could walk. Where can anyone laugh as loudly as Miss Sun?
A six-year-old child is no longer young, and he knows how to avoid suspicion. How can he still be held in his arms by his father and thrown up like this?
She has never seen any father and daughter in the house be so affectionate.
Seeing that the master next to her didn't speak, only smiled and looked at him with his hands down, she lowered her head and took a few steps back.
Although she is a wet nurse, Miss Sun does not drink her milk, so the upbringing problem naturally falls to her elders. She is only responsible for Miss Sun's safety and Rizhang's daily life. Listen more, read more, and speak less.
There is something wrong.
The salary is high, and her family is still waiting for her to receive subsidies.
Over there, Yue Zhongyao held his daughter's small body in his arms and asked her, "Does Wan'er miss daddy?"
Yue Zhongyao kissed his daughter on the forehead and hugged her tightly excitedly.
Qiao Jingkun stood aside with a smile and watched the interaction between father and daughter. He pretended not to be worried and said to Wan'er: "Wan'er only thinks about daddy, but doesn't she think about grandpa?"
The little thing turned around and looked at Father Qiao: "Wan'er likes grandpa. It's just that I see grandpa every day, so why is dad here..."
Qiao Jingkun stepped forward and touched her head. He said with a smile: "Take your father to your mother's courtyard and let your mother make new clothes for your father."
The little thing didn't know what the big difference was between new clothes and old clothes. He just thought that the New Year was coming and his father also wanted to make new clothes, so he nodded happily and pointed at Yue Zhongyao and walked out of the courtyard.
Yue Zhongyao didn't put her down either. He hugged his daughter happily, said goodbye to his father-in-law, and walked out with his daughter in his arms.
Qiao Jingkun watched his son-in-law and granddaughter walking away, and then ordered the boy beside him to go to the warehouse to pick some good materials and deliver them to the eldest lady's yard.
He has also lived through hard times for more than 20 years, so naturally he will not dislike Yue Zhongyao for not being well dressed. But there are always many people who criticize others when they are high and low. He cannot let others laugh at his daughter behind his back. Let others laugh at his daughter behind his back.
His daughter pointed.
When Yue Zhongyao returned to Qiao Mingjin's yard with his daughter in his arms, Qiao Mingjin was also leading people to select materials and make clothes.
Since his father said that he would take Yue Zhongyao around during the new year and meet more people, he couldn't be too poorly dressed.
My father will take over the clan's duties after the Chinese New Year. He walks with his father, which naturally represents his father's face.
Qiao Mingjin originally had a background in female celebrities, plus she had seen too much of later generations, so she was very willing to make some suggestions and make some changes to the current clothes.
In fact, after their family came back, their clothes were remade inside and out. Although they were still in the mourning period, they were all wearing plain clothes, but after Qiao Mingjin's modifications and guidance, the family's clothes were very eye-catching.
It makes up for some shortcomings in the family's momentum.
The demeanor and aura of the children of this aristocratic family is not only in their bones and blood, but also needs to be immersed in such an environment for many years.
Although their family is descended from a serious aristocratic family, they have lived in the countryside for so many years, and even if they change their appearance, they will not be able to become the descendants of the Yizhou Qiao family in a short time.
Fortunately, Lan and Qiao's father have never forgotten the upbringing of their children. They can read and read, and Nvhong has followed the same rules. She also sets an example with her own body, and the children have followed Qiao's father and Lan since they were young.
Learning is very different from the children of farmers.
Now that they have returned to their original family in Yizhou, they have changed their appearance. Mingjue and the others are smart and eager to learn. After learning and guidance in family studies, their actions have become more and more like the children of the aristocratic family.
The clothes designed and modified by Qiao Mingjin also added a bit of glamor to the family and somewhat diverted the attention of others.
"Jin Niang..."
Yue Zhongyao found that he couldn't help but get excited every time he saw Qiao Mingjin.
He didn't understand why he was excited, he just felt that he urgently wanted to see his wife.
"Back." Qiao Mingjin smiled and nodded at him.
When Wan'er saw her mother looking at her, she struggled to get off the ground, although she felt that she hadn't been hugged enough by her father.
"Are you hungry? Let the nanny take you to have some snacks." Qiao Mingjin said to her daughter.
"Not hungry."
The little thing just shook her head at Qiao Mingjin, and when she saw her mother looking at her with a smile, she blinked twice, looked at her father again, and then followed her nanny out.
Yue Zhongyao was afraid that Qiao Mingjin would say something, so he hurriedly said: "Dad asked me to live with you!"
Qiao Mingjin looked up at him, thought for a moment, and then said to Chun Ya, who was waiting in the room: "Take two people to clean up the east wing, and then have someone go to the warehouse to get some bedding and supplies."
Seeing that Chun Ya agreed and went down with the people, she poured a cup of tea for Yue Zhongyao and sat down opposite him.
He slowly asked: "How long have you been on leave? When will you return to your hometown to cancel your leave and start working?"
Yue Zhongyao was not busy drinking tea. He kept his eyes on Qiao Mingjin and replied: "After the Lantern Festival, I will officially take off my leave and start work. It's just that it takes a few days to travel to and from the capital. I'm afraid I will leave soon."
Qiao Mingjin nodded and asked him about the situation of Yunjia Village and Xiahe Village, as well as the situation of her workshop.
I felt relieved when I learned that everything was fine.
Yue Zhongyao thought for a while and then said: "My cousin didn't give my mother the key to your yard. Before I left, I divided the house again. I told my mother that she would not move in."
After saying that, I felt a little uncomfortable. It was not that the family had no food to eat, and it was unreasonable for a mother-in-law to covet her daughter-in-law's yard. So she touched her nose a little, for fear that Qiao Mingjin would be unhappy after hearing this.
Qiao Mingjin glanced at him and said: "If I don't go back to live in the future, then it's okay for your parents to live in the yard. I'm just afraid that it will be difficult for my cousin and sister-in-law to live there."
Yue Zhongyao said to Qiao Mingjin with bright eyes: "When you finish paying filial piety to your grandfather next year, I will take you mother and daughter to Beijing. From now on, we will be together as a family."
Qiao Mingjin looked at him and said, "When you enter Beijing, you will probably have to live in the prince's palace."
Yue Zhongyao nodded and said: "Yeah. It doesn't matter where I live alone. But I have asked, and the guards who have married have rented houses and lived outside. When I save money, I will rent a better small one."
The courtyard will allow you and your daughter to live comfortably. When I save more money in the future, we will buy a small courtyard to live in."
Qiao Mingjin's eyes lit up when he saw him talking about the future, and she couldn't bear to throw cold water on him.
It's not easy to live in Beijing. With the three taels of monthly money he earns as a guard, he may not even be able to buy a small courtyard in the city even if he quits his job.
"Jin Niang, don't worry, I won't be a bodyguard forever. Everyone who came to pick me up said that at my age and being married, I can't even serve as a personal bodyguard for the prince.
For two or three years, the prince just wants to keep people close to him and observe their character closely so that he can arrange suitable positions."
I was very happy to see that my wife did not show any concern and was listening to him very attentively.
Then he said: "The person who took care of me was personally sent by the prince. I think he must have been ordered by the prince to give me some advice. The prince is now in charge of the imperial guard camp in the capital and protects the capital.
Ping An, whether he is a big boss or a small boss, he needs loyal people. For someone like me who has received his favor, he can rest assured that as long as I show my ability and loyalty, I will definitely be able to fight for a share in the future.
The future is coming. When the time comes, you won't have to endure hardship if you follow me."
Qiao Mingjin noticed that Yue Zhongyao's eyes were very bright when he talked about his future.
Maybe every man has some ambitions in his heart. To be able to fulfill his ambitions and protect his wife, children and family in peace and security must be the vision in every man's heart.
Qiao Mingjin didn't know what her vision was.
It has been almost two years since she came to this world. It seems that she is half integrated into this world and half still outside.
She doesn't seem to have a strong sense of belonging, she just wants to live the life in front of her.
This man seemed to have cleared the way forward for her and worked hard to create the life she wanted to live. But she didn't dare to reach out to him easily.
Kyoto is a prosperous place, but also a chaotic place, which can easily wipe out people's conscience.
"You stand up and I will measure you so that I can make some clothes for you."
Qiao Mingjin said to him.
Yue Zhongyao was a little excited. How long has it been since he wore the clothes Jin Niang made for him?
When he was in the army, the clothes were all worn out, but he kept wearing them. In the end, even his superior officer couldn't stand it, so he found a coat from his package and threw it to him.
It was difficult for him to explain, but he took off the tattered coat. He didn't even want to throw it away, and kept it in his bag. However, he later disappeared while running away.
There were several pieces of brocade of different colors scattered on the couch, all of which were good materials that he had never worn before.
Seeing his wife taking the clothes on the couch one by one and comparing them to him, Yue Zhongyao felt hot in his heart, so hot that he felt hot.
It turns out that Jin Niang was tailoring clothes for him just now. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
