Wen Jiaojiao was woken up by the sound of firecrackers. Fortunately, she usually went to bed early, so she didn't feel sleepy even if she was woken up.
But it was inevitable to stay in bed, watching Yuzhu and the others busy in the room, preparing various toiletries and clothes for her to get up.
"Miss, wake up! It's very lively outside. Ziju and I went to buy firecrackers for Miss early in the morning. Later, Miss can go to the yard to play with firecrackers."
Xiang Jin saw that Wen Jiaojiao had opened her eyes and was lying on the bed looking at them, happily talking to her.
Aster also immediately started chatting with Xiang Jin. These two girls had not been with her for a long time. Yu Zhu and Feng Xin followed her all the time when she entered the palace. It was only in the past two days that Aniang let these two girls go.
Come to her.
Once the two of them came together, they had endless things to talk about. Yuzhu and Fengxin had a steady personality, while Xiangjin and Ziju were a lot more adventurous. As soon as the two of them came together, Wen Jiaojiao became a lot more lively.
They kept talking to her about all kinds of trivial matters in Wen Mansion and the capital, and Wen Jiaojiao listened with great interest.
Yuzhu watched Xiang Jin come in with a bunch of colorful firecrackers, and quickly asked her to put them on the ground, "The smell of these firecrackers is too strong. Miss has to go back to Wen Mansion for lunch today, so don't be suffocated by the smell of gunpowder again."
.”
Feng Xin was fumigating Wen Jiaojiao's clothes, and waved his hands to reject the smell of gunpowder, "Go outside and blow some air, don't let this smell get on the lady's clothes."
Today is the New Year, and Xiao Yurong is thinking that Wen Jiaojiao will go to the palace to celebrate the New Year with the Queen, and the eldest sister Wen Wanzheng will also spend the New Year with her husband's family. During the New Year, the whole family can get together.
Xiao Yurong promised her eldest brother Xiao Yan that Wen Jiaojiao would spend the New Year with them, so Wen Jiaojiao would just go back to Wen's house and have lunch.
Wen Jiaojiao could see that although Xiao Yurong was dissatisfied with her father, she was trying her best to maintain the big family.
"It's so cold outside, what's the wind like when you go out?"
Wen Jiaojiao stopped Xiang Jiaoyu who was about to go out. The two looked at each other, both looking very touched. The lady actually cared about them! The sun really came out in the west!
However, the two of them ran out and blew for a while to dissipate the smell of gunpowder from their bodies.
Just now when the two of them went out to buy firecrackers, they had already secretly played with a few, and their bodies were smelling very strongly of gunpowder.
They have not been with Wen Jiaojiao these days. Although they miss her very much, they have nothing to do. They often go out to play for leisure, and their hearts are almost going wild.
Originally, the two of them were not much older than Wen Jiaojiao, and they were at the age where they were playful.
While Wen Jiaojiao was still lying on the bed, Mei Shiniang suddenly entered her yard, and she heard the sound so far away.
"Jiaojiao, the little lazy pig is still lying in bed."
Mei Shiniang came into her room with a happy face, sat beside her bed, picked her up, and stuffed her with a big red envelope.
"New Year is coming soon. You are going to the palace to accompany your sister, so I will give you this red envelope in advance."
As he said that, he handed another one to her, "This is your uncle's."
Wen Jiaojiao woke up immediately when he saw the person with the red envelope, sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the red envelope happily.
When I took it out, I saw a stack of banknotes and land deeds.
Other people's red envelopes were filled with broken silver and copper plates, just to add to the joy. My uncle and aunt just stuffed banknotes and land deeds into them, which was too arrogant.
"We don't have anything to give you. Jiao Jiao just buy whatever you like."
Wen Jiaojiao took the land deed and said, "But I can't use this land deed?"
Mei Shiniang patted Wen Jiaoyao's hand and said, "Why can't you use it? You are about to get your hairpin and have your own real estate and shop. When you get married in the future, these will be your private property."
The most indispensable thing for the Mei and Xiao families now is money. Their only daughter entered the palace and became the queen. Now the Xiao family only has a girl, Wen Jiaojiao, so these things must be prepared for her.
Wen Jiaojiao gave these two big red envelopes to Yuzhu and the others and asked them to keep them. Usually A Niang and Yuzhu took care of the money. She herself didn't know how much property she had in her little treasury.
After having breakfast with his aunt, Wen Jiaojiao was ready to return to Wen Mansion.
Xiao's Mansion and Wen's Mansion are not very far away. Zuo but both live in the capital, and they live in the most prosperous streets. It only takes two-quarters of an hour to get there by carriage.
As soon as Wen Jiaojiao got off the carriage, she saw her eldest sister Wen Wanzheng and her brother-in-law Fang Yuan also arriving.
"big sister!"
Wen Jiaojiao has not seen Wen Wanzheng for a long time. At this moment, her belly has swelled slightly. She is four months pregnant.
"Jiao Jiao." Wen Wanzheng was very happy to see Wen Jiao Jiao. She took her hand and looked her up and down, and said with a wide smile, "I haven't seen my fourth sister for many days. She is really more beautiful and rounder."
As he said that, he reached out and pinched her voluptuous little face.
Wen Jiaojiao was about to cry but had no tears. She knew that she was fat and there was nothing she could do about it.
Wen Wanzheng did not think Wen Jiaojiao was fat. Although Wen Jiaojiao was well raised by her mistress before she left the palace, her face always had a sick look. She was not as rosy as she is now. In addition to her stature than her age.
The girl looks smaller and smaller, but there is no difference in other aspects. She looks like a healthy child.
Wen Wanzheng looked at Wen Jiaojiao up and down, and was very pleased, "In the past, it was so cold that Jiaojiao couldn't go anywhere. The house had to be lit with charcoal fire every day, and I couldn't stand the slightest breeze. Now I heard my mother-in-law say that you three
It’s really fun to go out and play in no time.”
Listening to Wen Wanzheng's words, Wen Jiaojiao felt warm in her heart. The eldest sister was like her biological sister, she would care and love her, and she was sincerely happy to see her doing well.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at her belly and asked curiously: "Sister, are you having a hard time being pregnant now?"
Pregnancy is a very difficult task for women in modern times, not to mention that in ancient times when conditions were backward, even if the Fang family was a wealthy family, it could not solve the pain of pregnancy and childbirth for women.
Wen Wanzheng and Fang Yuan looked at each other and smiled, stroking their bellies and saying, "It's not hard. I guess it's because the child is so well-behaved. I'm not too happy. I just ate a little more than usual."
The two of them were talking and holding hands as they walked to Wen's house.
Fang Yuan stood behind Wen Wanzheng, watching over her silently, letting the two sisters talk without disturbing them.
Wen Jiaojiao leaned against Wen Wanzheng and whispered, "Sister, do you want a boy or a girl?"
"It's okay, I like boys and girls."
Wen Wanzheng looked at Wen Jiaojiao and glanced at Fang Yuan behind her, and said with a smile: "It's the same with your brother-in-law. It's not easy for me to be pregnant. I'm very happy to be pregnant with him."
Wen Jiaojiao asked again: "What about the Fang family?"
Her mother-in-law was not easy to deal with, and Wen Jiaojiao was worried that she would make trouble with her.
Wen Wanzheng knew what Wen Jiaojiao was worried about. She calmed down slightly and said, "My mother-in-law wants to take care of my pregnancy, but it's me who is pregnant, not her, so naturally I won't let her interfere. Now we
I have already bought another house in the capital and separated from my mother-in-law."
