The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

When she came out of Xiao Man's room, she saw Grandpa Shen standing in the yard looking at the sky. She hurriedly took a big coat and put it on Grandpa Shen:

"Grandpa, go to bed! It's so cold in the yard. What are you looking at?"

Grandpa Shen said with a smile: "Seeing as it won't snow soon today, have you decided when to leave? If the snow is heavy and we are stuck on the road, we will freeze."

As he spoke, he looked at Dong Su lovingly, with red eyes: "Good boy, I can't bear to leave you! Maybe you can tell the prince that we can leave after the first lunar month?"

Shen Dongsu's eyes were also red. Thirty and the first day of the new year were just a matter of time to sleep, but in Grandpa Shen's heart.

After thirty, it's time for Dong Su to leave. I am looking forward to the return of my children during the Chinese New Year, and I also hope that time will slow down so that my children can stay at home longer.

"Even if I were to go later, the prince wouldn't say anything. But the emperor sent the Imperial Guard to escort me. If I stay at home for a long time, the emperor will definitely not be happy."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will come back with you next time to celebrate the New Year."

Grandpa Shen sighed softly: "After the Chinese New Year, I will be one year older. Our grandfather and grandson only meet each other less often than once!"

Grandpa Shen quickly adjusted his mood, patted her hand and said:

"My Dong family is very promising! My dear boy, as long as you and the prince live a good life, we won't see each other much, and I will be happy too."

When people are young, they have high demands on future generations. They want their children to get ahead and have a good future.

But the older I get, the more I feel that peace is the most important thing.

With Grandpa Shen's loving advice, Dong Su got into the warm bed. Before going to bed, she couldn't help but think about what Ling Mo Xiao had for the New Year's Eve dinner at the border.

At this time in Youzhou, heavy snow was flying and dripping water turned into ice. The soldiers' New Year's Eve dinner was only hot for the first few bites, then it became lukewarm after a few bites, and then it turned into ice cubes.

To describe eating quickly, people would say that eating is like fighting!

But here in Bianguan, eating is faster than fighting!

Although Prince Ling had a distinguished status, his New Year's Eve dinner was just a meal of mixed vegetables stewed in a pot with a few generals. It was a warm meal.

Don’t even think about delicacies like hot-boiled mutton and dumplings.

Ling Moxiao and Mr. Pang clinked glasses and took a sip of the fine wine, both sighing with satisfaction.

If you are in Youzhou, you can have a sip of Gwangju's fine wine, and you will be extremely satisfied this year.

Ling Moxiao was very glad that Dong Su didn't come before the year, otherwise she would have been wronged too much. The little girl has never lived a comfortable life since she was coaxed to marry him.

This time I went to my parents' house to have a comfortable New Year, which was a reward for her hard work in controlling the plague last year.

Ling Moxiao walked to the courtyard with a glass of wine and toasted to the south. Happy New Year, madam!

On the morning of the first grade of junior high school in Shenjia Village, no one could sleep in. Even the children who loved staying in bed would get up early.

The sound of firecrackers in the village continued all night, and the sound of dogs barking came from the back wall.

Xiaoman, Xiaohu and Zhongyang are already waiting in the small living room, eager to give New Year greetings to Sister Dongsu first.

They have already paid New Year greetings to the whole family, and after finishing paying Dong Su a New Year greeting, they will go to various houses in the village to pay New Year greetings.

It is a custom on the first day of the new year in Gwangju that all the families in the village pay New Year greetings to each other. Relatives and friends give red envelopes to children, while ordinary villagers give candies and snacks.

Before Grandpa Shen became the village chief, the villagers distributed rice candy or maltose to each other on the first day of the new year, and persimmon cookies were considered the best.

Since Grandpa Shen became the village chief and Dong Su became the princess, the whole village has become rich. Families are also willing to go to the county town to do New Year shopping and buy some high-end candies and snacks.

Adults are embarrassed to come, but children from several nearby villages will pay New Year's greetings in their own villages early, and then carry the cloth bags sewn by their mothers and go to Shenjia Village in groups to pay New Year's greetings.

People in Gwangju attach great importance to New Year greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Anyone who comes to visit, no matter they know each other or not, is said to be "New Year's greetings when they see you" and "you are a guest when you enter the door". The children who come will never leave empty-handed.

Of course, families like the Zhu family and Hu Jinhua hate the arrival of children from other villages. When they come, they will give them rice candies at most and not even one high-end candy.

The Shen family naturally welcomes children. Before Dong Su got up, Jiang had already scattered dozens of kilograms of candies. They also had Lingnan lactose and fruit candies sent by Butler Liu, which are not available in Gwangju.

Mr. Jiang was always stingy, but he was still very generous when it came to paying New Year greetings on the first day of the new year.

Yue Jian came in and called her: "Princess, I just received the news that the county magistrate has rushed to Shen's house. You'd better get up early. There are many people coming to the house to pay New Year's greetings today."

Shen Dongsu stretched out, and she hadn't slept for a few hours. She chatted with Grandpa Shen for a while last night, and when she returned to her room, she saw the prosthetic leg modified by Father Shen.

Shen's father definitely needed it for the New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. She forgot to send it to him. Shen's father didn't ask and hurriedly called Zhongyang to send it to his father.

Unexpectedly, Jiang was summoned. It was obviously Father Shen who asked her to come.

Maybe in Father Shen's heart, mother and daughter always have some private things to say. He still doesn't understand that Jiang and her have no mother-daughter relationship at all.

Jiang didn't feel uncomfortable as soon as she entered Dongsu's house. Everything here, including the carpet under her feet, made her uncomfortable.

A house like this would be suitable for gods to live in! Now it is her daughter's boudoir.

In Jiang's subconscious mind, Dong Su was not worthy of using these good things.

Yue Jian thought that mother and daughter wanted to have a private conversation, so she thoughtfully served tea and closed the bedroom door.

As a result, the mother and daughter stared at each other, and the quiet Dong Su was about to doze off, and then Ms. Jiang said:

"How is your relationship with the prince?"

Shen Dongsu:......

"good."

"You've been married for two years..."

"One year!"

"It's the first year of junior high school now, but it won't be more than two years!"

Yes, this is how rural people calculate time. In their mouth, an eight-year-old child is a teenager.

"Okay! I've been married for two years."

Mr. Jiang stretched his neck, this daughter was like this, she felt angry even after saying a few words to her.

"I know you are a princess now and your body is precious, but you don't like to listen to what I say."

If you know it, just don’t say it!

"I'll just say a few words. This woman needs to have children to gain a foothold in her husband's family."

You gave birth to three children, and you were driven to the cowshed by the Zhu family!

"You have been married for two years, and your stomach has not moved. If you were in a farmhouse, your mother-in-law would have scolded you."

My mother-in-law is locked up in the cold palace!

"The prince loves you, you should also think more about him. When you go to Youzhou, don't just think about enjoying yourself, hurry up and give the prince a son and a half daughter..."

Shen Dongsu looked at her speechlessly. He didn't know how long her nagging would last. He suddenly thought of what he would read online in later generations, what should parents do if they give birth?

She rolled her eyes, coughed slightly, interrupted Jiang's ramblings, and said without embarrassment: "To have a baby, you need to have sex."

"I don't like having sex, it's disgusting."

Jiang's face turned red to her neck in an instant. She didn't want to say anything, so she turned around and left. After taking two steps, she was unwilling to give in. She turned around and said awkwardly:

"You have to get used to that. Once you get used to it, it won't be disgusting."

Shen Dongsu waited for her to leave before throwing herself on the bed and laughing. Look, she had already given birth to three children, and she still had such a big reaction when she heard that she was in the same room.

If Mrs. Jiang knew that she and Prince Ling hadn’t had sex yet, I don’t know what her reaction would be...

Because of this little episode, neither Dong Su nor Ms. Jiang could sleep well, but Ms. Jiang knew that the county magistrate was coming, so she got up early to prepare tea.

When Shen Dong got up, there were already several groups of guests coming and going in the main room, all of whom came to pay New Year's greetings to the village chief and the princess.

Butler Liu has not left. He will receive the guests who come to pay New Year's greetings today as Princess Ling's butler.

Shen Dongsu didn't even know that Butler Liu had prepared a large box of small gifts, including a small jade pendant with a red string, a pearl head flower, and gold and silver melon seeds.

All children who come to pay New Year greetings are given jade pendants to boys, pearl flowers to girls, gold melon seeds to old people, and silver melon seeds to young and old men and women.

Grandpa Shen was shocked when he saw what he had prepared. There were hundreds of people in Shenjia Village, and there were probably nearly a hundred children from nearby villages. How much would it cost!

But Butler Liu laughed and said that this was the right thing to do. When the princess returned to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year, she should bless the folks. This gift was not worth anything. If she were in Chang'an City, she would have given it the same golden lock as last night.

Butler Liu acted according to the rules of the palace and wanted to earn a good reputation for his granddaughter. Naturally, Grandpa Shen couldn't persuade him too much.

When the news spread that "if you come to pay New Year's greetings to the princess, you will be given generous gifts in return", the whole village, old and young, along with their families, lined up in front of Shen's house to pay New Year's greetings.

At the same time, knowing that the county magistrate was coming, the village chief, pavilion chief and the chiefs of several nearby villages also rushed to Shenjia Village early.

The Chu family was so busy that they never had a moment of peace. Mrs. Jiang took several of Dong Su's maids to make tea.

Three large tanks of well water were used up, and there was no room for seating in the main hall. Tables were set up along the corridor, and villagers came in to drink tea, eat melon seeds and snacks, and have a bowl of rice wine glutinous rice balls without feeling too cold.

This year, the rice wine and candied osmanthus made by Granny Hu were all bought by the Shen family.

The Shen family recreates the lively and grand occasion of marrying off their daughter.

This is also the reason why Grandpa Shen is so hospitable and Butler Liu feels that the Shen family has a good family tradition. One of the reasons is that the Shen family has a princess, but the Shen family is not proud at all.

Let alone a princess, there are many peasants who consider themselves to be a high-ranking family and never associate with poor relatives in the same village.

There is even a daughter who marries an official as a concubine. When she returns to her natal family, she would like to wash the ground in front of her house with water. The villagers will look at her as blasphemy.

Only in the Shen family, some people wanted to take the lead, like Shen Dazhi, but they were whipped back by Grandpa Shen.

The others were afraid of causing trouble for the princess, so they kept a low profile, and the neighbors were very harmonious.

The county magistrate came with his whole family to pay New Year greetings. Mrs. Jiang and her second aunt entertained the county magistrate's wife, Lin Zhong entertained his son, and Sister Damai entertained his two daughters.

Shen Dongsu asked the two little girls to sit in her room. As a result, the little girls were on pins and needles and did not dare to eat tea or speak.

It can be seen how strict the county magistrate is in giving instructions at home, for fear of being disrespectful in front of Princess Ling.

Shen Dongsu gave them a set of noodles as a meeting gift and asked Sister Damai to take them outside to play.

Because when the county magistrate came, he brought a dragon dance team from the county, and Shenjia Village suddenly became as lively as a temple fair.

There are dragon dancers, land boat players, blessing dances...the liveliness is much more interesting than when the family invites a troupe to sing a big opera during the Chinese New Year in Chang'an.

Butler Liu followed the rules of the palace and sealed a big red envelope for each performer. Some people couldn't help but open it on the spot.

It turned out that the red envelope given by the princess was more than the wages they earned in three years.

Immediately, he performed even harder, stimulating Shen Dong's potential to go crazy. He sent someone to move a truck full of fireworks from the palace.

The Shen family directly set up a running table, and the fat chef who was the boss in the county came to the Shen family to take charge again. He was very happy to cook for the Shen family.

The whole village was lively until dusk. The drunken county magistrate took his family back, and the village chief, pavilion chief and Grandpa Shen politely sent them to the entrance of the village.

This means that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. To the grassroots in the countryside, she, Princess Ling, is a high-ranking, fairy-like figure who is too far away from them.

On the contrary, the county magistrate, the Qingtian Grand Master, was the official they thought they should entertain well.

Just like when Grandpa Shen didn't believe in King Ling's identity or what others said, he only believed in the words of the county magistrate.

Everyone had dispersed, and the house was fully tidied up until late at night. That night, several cousins ​​stayed at the Shen family again.

Before Dong Su returned to her room, she saw Father Shen in the corridor. He glanced at her room from time to time, but as if he was afraid of disturbing her, he never came forward.

She sighed softly. If Grandpa Shen called her, he would definitely ask Xiao Man to call him directly.

Father Shen struggled for a long time, maybe swallowing back what he wanted to say, not wanting to disturb her at will.

She quietly stepped forward and asked, "Father is looking for his daughter?"

Father Shen smiled awkwardly and took a look at her room. Da Mai, Da Lian and Xiao Man were still playing in it.

Then she motioned Dong Su to sit in his carpenter's room for a while. The last time she entered this room alone, it was Father Shen who gave her the magical dowry box.

Shen Dongsu helped him sit up, and the carpenter's room also changed drastically. Half of it was filled with tools, and the other half was organized into a small living room.

There were tea sets, tables, chairs and a tea stove. Father Shen lit the tea stove first. Neither of them wanted to drink tea, but it was too cold in the room, and the tea stove could warm the fire.

Father Shen was afraid of freezing her, so he decided to keep the story short: "What your mother told you last night..."

Shen Dongsu turned red with embarrassment. Did Jiang file a complaint? Did she tell Father Shen directly about the joke?

She was awkwardly pressing her toes on the ground, but because the shoes she was wearing were too thick, she couldn't do it.

Then Shen's father changed the subject and said, "Don't take your mother's words to heart. You are still young and your body bones have not grown. It would be better to have children later in life."

"It's bitter cold in Youzhou. It's better to wait until the prince is transferred back to Chang'an before having a child."

Shen Dongsu was relieved. Jiang should have just told him about the birth.

She sighed in her heart. Mrs. Jiang wanted her to have a baby as soon as possible, but Father Shen was worried that she would have difficulty giving birth at a young age.

The gap between father and mother is so big!

She said gratefully: "Thank you father for your understanding. The prince said so too."

Father Shen nodded happily, and then the two of them fell into a long silence. Father Shen felt that he had a lot to say to his daughter.

But he thought that this daughter's soul was no longer his daughter, but she was still the noble Princess Ling.

As an old farmer, what can he give to his daughter? Can you teach your daughter?

You can only work hard and not be annoying.
