The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1154 New Year
After receiving Prince Rong’s family, Fan Zijin immediately moved back to Anguo Gong’s mansion on the grounds of busy business, which made Fan Siwen very angry, “The seal was opened on the eighth day of the lunar new year, what business do you have now?”
Fan Zijin said indifferently: “The crown prince and Wen Jin promised foreigners to exempt some goods from tax, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for this matter.”
Fan Siwen’s face was livid and said: “Then you go by yourself and leave Xiao Xia and the two children behind. You don’t see anyone all year round. Do you think whose daughter-in-law doesn’t serve her mother-in-law? When did your mother enjoy you?” blessing?”
Xia Shi who was sitting on the side immediately said: “I don’t want her to serve, she just needs to take good care of my son and my grandson, and I am not too old to walk, so I don’t need her to be filial in front of me.” Xia Shi laughed at this point He said, “What’s more, aren’t Zixiao’s daughter-in-laws in the mansion? There are so many of them to serve me, it’s more than enough.”
Fan Siwen’s lips moved, and she looked at Xia Shi with some sadness.
These years, the Xia family has guarded him like a thief. It is impossible not to be sad. He just wants Zijin to stay at home for a few more days, and let the children of the family get to know more people under his influence, but the Xia family repeatedly Guard against him.
Doesn’t she know that one person is difficult to defeat four hands, and if Zijin wants to go far, he needs the help of his family’s children?
Mrs. Xia didn’t even give him the corner of his eyes, and said directly to Mrs. Xia: “Since you are leaving, go back and pack your things quickly, and you don’t have to come here every now and then to say hello to me. Bring them to me when the children are resting.” Just take a look, serve Hao Zijin wholeheartedly, and your filial piety will be fulfilled.”
Xiao Xia’s face was flushed red, she was extremely ashamed.
People tend to forget about pain and injury, and Xiao Xia’s is the same. She used to blame Xia a lot, but now she is full of shame. She has indeed failed to fulfill her responsibility as a daughter-in-law, and she was able to shirk it when she was in other places.
But in the past two years when she came back to the capital, she didn’t show much filial piety, and Xiao Xia didn’t bother her, she only needed to come to pay her respects every five o’clock, and even defended her in front of her sisters-in-law.
Xiao Xia’s heart was not made of stone, it had softened a long time ago, seeing her mother-in-law defending her, and opening her mouth to speak, Fan Zijin pulled her a bit, looked at her lightly and said, “Why don’t you go and pack your things soon?”
Xiao Xia could only bow to her parents-in-law and then retreat. The daughters-in-law of the Fan family were itchy to see who was the easiest daughter-in-law, except for the two royal families. Live outside.
However, she can still gain a good reputation. Whenever someone asks her mother-in-law about her, her mother-in-law will praise her in front of that person. Now the whole capital knows that she is filial. Let her stay in the Duke’s mansion to serve her son, and she is not allowed to come, saying that she is not too old to walk, so she is not needed to serve her, and she will be needed when she can’t walk in the future…
On the contrary, it seems that these daughters-in-law who serve their parents-in-law day and night are hypocritical – they obviously don’t serve their mother-in-law, but they make a false impression that it is hard to serve her mother-in-law outside.
But who knows their suffering?
Their husbands are all concubines, and they haven’t separated yet. All the needles and threads used are from the mansion. The mother-in-law will enjoy it, set a monthly consumption quota, and hand over the inner courtyard to them. The extra money She doesn’t care, and she doesn’t make up for the missing money. It’s true that she doesn’t need them to serve her personally, but is it easy for them to please her in order to get more money?
The family of four didn’t have a lot of luggage, because they knew they wouldn’t be staying longer when they came here, so naturally they didn’t bring much, and the maids packed it up with a single order.
After Xiao Xia followed Fan Zijin into the carriage, she was still a little apprehensive, “Is this really good?”
Fan Zijin looked at the clouds in the sky and said calmly, “Just do as she says.”
“But my mother-in-law is getting old…” Xiao Xia carefully looked at her husband’s face and said, “It’s not easy to leave her alone, and she will miss her grandson Chenghuan.”
Fan Zijin was silent for a long time, and finally said: “There will always be a chance.” But not now. .
These words were indifferent, but Xiao Xia couldn’t help but feel sad. If possible, which mother and child would do this? Not all of them are still forced by the father-in-law step by step.
As soon as Fan Zijin returned to the Duke’s Mansion, people who watched from outside immediately flocked to him, all of them gave him New Year’s greetings and gifts.
Fan Zijin quickly forgot about the affairs of the Fan Mansion, returned the overly expensive presents, or returned presents to various families, and was extremely busy.
In contrast, Prince Rong’s Mansion is much colder. Although there are many people who give gifts to the Palace, they are all sent by the steward, and they leave as soon as they are delivered. Few people dare to visit at home, and only some generals in the army dare to pay a visit. They came to the door with things, but they were Qi Haoran’s colleagues or Qi Haoran’s subordinates, and Mu Yangling didn’t need to show up, as long as they ordered the kitchen to prepare food and wine for them.
As soon as Qi Haoran relaxed his mind, he got drunk for two consecutive days, went back to the house and leaned against him, and lay down on the bed snoring as soon as he entered the house, so angry that Mu Yangling pinched his cheeks and rubbed him several times, and then Fetch water to wash him.
Mu Yangling saw that when he woke up, he was full of energy and wanted to drink with others, so he immediately grabbed him and said, “It’s already the sixth day, and we haven’t entered the palace to pay New Year’s greetings. When do you plan to delay it?”
Qi Haoran was stunned, and asked: “What kind of year does the family pay homage to? Isn’t it a New Year’s Eve celebration together on New Year’s Eve?”
After the palace banquet on New Year’s Eve, they stayed vigil in the palace until the new year. At that time, they would pay New Year’s greetings, and the children had all received red envelopes from their elder brothers and sisters-in-law. Why did they still enter the palace at this time?
Seeing his blank look, Mu Yangling snorted and said with a smile: “Brother has been waiting in the palace. It stands to reason that we should enter the palace on the first or third day of junior high school, but we were lazy on the first day of junior high school, and we went to the third junior high school.” My aunt is home, and I wanted to go on the fourth day of the junior high school, but you went to drink, and it lasted two days.”
Having said that, Mu Yangling looked at him resentfully.
Qi Haoran scratched his head, “Then shall we enter the palace today?”
Qi Haoran was a little bit regretful, he only had time to drink with his subordinates and colleagues in the past two days, the key is that he only had the courage at this time.
He glanced at his wife, and tentatively said in a low voice: “I have made an appointment with several friends to have a drink. I’m afraid I won’t have this time after the Chinese New Year.”
Mu Yangling looked at him with a half-smile and said, “That’s a pity. After the new year, even if you have time, you won’t have the chance to drink with them, because my good temper only lasts until the end of the first month.”
As Mu Yangling said, he rubbed his fists, making his joints crack.
Qi Haoran shrank his head and dared not speak.
Mu Yangling was satisfied, and got up to pack up his things and prepare to enter the palace.
Qi Xiuyuan was taking a group of his sons to visit the Imperial Garden, when he heard that his younger brother’s family had entered the palace, he realized belatedly, ah, his younger brother has not yet entered the palace to pay him New Year’s greetings.
