[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

Two days after Wanxiang left, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival was very lively. There were dragon and lion dancers in between. On Dongxuan Street, a row of lanterns hung with crossword puzzles illuminated the entire valley. The antiphonal songs of boys and girls made people admire for no reason .

These were originally meant to be enjoyed with little Wanxiang, but Yin Chan was bored by himself, if Wanxiang was here, he must be very happy to see these interesting things.Yin Chan smiled, held the lamp, stood at the gate of the bank, looked at it from afar, then turned around and locked it.

The bank has reopened these few days, and the business is in an endless stream. Anyway, when I go back, I will deal with a family of people with different thoughts, so I might as well correct my duties in the bank.

A few days later, Xi Xiahua's gold ring was found.It turned out that the ring fell into the crack of the cabinet, and with a slight shake, the ring stuck in the crack came out.Looking at the lost and recovered ring, Xi Xiahua's guilt towards Wan Xiang deepened, and he said a few more good things about Wan Xiang in front of Xi Yuannian, hoping that after returning, he would bow his head and apologize to Wan Xiang on his behalf .

After the first sun, at the beginning of February, there was another heavy snowfall.

After the snow, when Xi Xiahua was enjoying the snow in the courtyard with his sleeves wrapped around his sleeves, someone from Yongzhou came, and his husband Song Cheng came to pick Xia Hua up in person.Seeing that Xi Xiahua didn't want to leave, but there was nothing he could do. Song Cheng was as refined as he was back then, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and affectionate style, which made girls like him very much.Compared with Xi Xiahua, Song Cheng is more or less the same as ten years ago, presumably life is quite comfortable, and there are not many troubles.

Xi Xiahua shed tears when he left, and Mrs. Xi was also reluctant to part with her daughter.Yongzhou is far away, if it is not for special circumstances, maybe it will take several years to go this way.

Half a year later, Mrs. Xi's body has fully recovered, and she can even walk to the town to see the business in the shop with only one crutch.It's just that after he got better, Second Master Xi talked about going back to Jinmen Town again.The old lady Xi was also a little bit reluctant to think about the lonely life of the orphan and widowed mother, so she gave Xi Yuannian a lot of trouble before she dared to let him go back with confidence.It's just that Xi Yuannian's elm head insisted that money is something outside of him, so he just took some of Wan Xiang's favorite pastries and set out on the road lightly.

The sun outside the window is slanting again, day after day, year after year.

This boring life like stagnant water has long been used to Yin Dang.

As early as when she was in her natal family, she lived like this.A long, long time ago, like Wan Xiang, she also thought about fighting hard, winning love from her father, and seeking approval from the mistress.It's just that the older she gets, the smoother and rounder her edges and corners are.These are useless, no matter how hard you try to fight.Because many things are established and can never be changed.

In early summer, Yin Yang brought Jinlian back to Ning Yin's house.After nearly a year without stepping into the door of Yin's family, she found that the family's situation was going from bad to worse. Her brother Yin Zhenghan didn't know how to make progress all day long.

But his father's body is getting worse and worse. The life of flying through the clouds and fog has absorbed all his energy. His body, which is not considered tall and broad, is only left with a rickety skeleton. He just grinned when he saw Yin Chong Smiling, showing a row of smoke-stained teeth, he continued to lie down on the couch without even saying a word of greeting.

And Yin Chan's mother, Qin Shi, the concubine of the Yin family, held Yin Chan and cried for a long time, and then began to pour bitterness on her endlessly.She was talking about trivial and trivial things in life. She was born as a poor and humble peddler. She was used to haggling over every penny. Not happy at first.This was evident when Yin Chan was still in the Yin family. After she got married, no one could complain about her bitterness. After holding it in for so long, the Qin family became more and more like a bitter bitter woman.

Yin Chan has no way to change all of this. She is just a concubine, and she even gets married in order to get the income that will keep the whole family going from the wealthy squire Xi's family. It is like a deal. sold.Although the Yin family has been ministers of the third rank and above in the capital for three generations, it's just that now, it's really just a good name, but they still refuse to let go with their usual arrogant airs, like a blow A beautiful vase that shatters.

When Yin Tang came, he brought a generous gift from Mrs. Xi, but when he left, he had nothing.She turned her head and looked at the majestic and majestic Yin's mansion, which was still grand and imposing. Now that the world is in turmoil, the city of Yongzhou is full of hungry corpses, but the Yin family is still unaware of it.

If, if it wasn't my natal family, it would be great.It would be nice if these were just irrelevant people.Not really.The Yin family is her natal family, so it is also her responsibility that she cannot escape.Maybe one day, when the Yin family really can't maintain it, those proud masters and wives will have to rely on Yin Dang, a concubine, to survive.

Thinking about it, Yin Tang tightened the thin cloak on his shoulders, lowered his head, and walked into the carriage.

As for Wanxiang, in the days after she left, Yin Tang still thought about her from time to time, even thinking about her, he would lose sleep, and his eyes would be widowed until dawn.It's just that after a long time, she put all her energy on the management of the bank, and her thoughts were quickly distracted.

Yin Tang understands very well that Wan Xiang is so young, and her world is much bigger than her own. What she can like and remember is definitely not an ordinary sister-in-law like herself.Mountains and plains, lakes and grass, maybe at this time, in Wan Xiang's mind, she is just a vague impression.

Thinking of this, Yin Yang was finally relieved.It's a pity, but there's nothing I can do about it.

It's New Year's Eve again.

This year, Xi Yuanzhen went home for the New Year, but did not bring back Xi Xuyao.It is said that the business in Jiangning is booming, but the two managers cannot be absent, so Xi Xuyao ​​is left there.The old lady Xi didn't like to listen to these words, even if she really couldn't get away in business, then at least letting her grandson go home and Xi Yuanzhen staying in Jiangning was the right way.This made a good daughter-in-law stay at home for no reason, and even Mrs. Xi felt wronged.

It's just that there is no way, everyone has already returned, and the end of the year is imminent, so we can't send a message to call that bastard back, right?Fortunately, Yin Chan is a sensible person, and with a slight smile, it seems that nothing is wrong.Mrs. Xi couldn't help liking this granddaughter-in-law a little more, she really is a lady of every family, knows the etiquette and integrity, and doesn't make trouble.

As soon as the door opened and the firecrackers sounded, the new peach replaced the old talisman.

During the first lunar month, the granddaughter-in-law who knew the etiquette and integrity said that she wanted to go to Jinmen Town to see Wanxiang.Mrs. Xi asked her, she hadn't seen her talk about Wanxiang much before, why did she suddenly have this idea?Yin Chan himself didn't know about this problem, maybe it was just that he didn't sleep well all night, and he couldn't help thinking of the little girl who tried her best to squeeze her shoulders and beat her back.

"I just want to see her. I haven't heard from her for two years, and I don't know how Wanxiang is doing in Jinmen Town." Standing beside Mrs. Xi, Yin Tang said.

Mrs. Xi glanced at her: "Wan Xiang is cute and lovely, I miss her too. For such an unreasonable thing in the past year, the one who celebrates the new year only sent a New Year's greeting letter. It's better to meet her. But , you are a woman, it is better to go out less. You have been in our Xi family for more than a year, and you have been let out to show up. Originally, you should not have directly taken over the accountant affairs of the bank. You were the one who hid Wan Xiang's kidnapping. I went out. When I came back, everyone was happy, so I didn’t bother with you. You are not allowed to go out again.” After saying that, Mrs. Xi arranged for a team to buy a lot of goods for the New Year. As soon as the wheels rolled, she headed for Jinmen Town to pick up people.

Hearing the old lady's arrangement, Yin Tang didn't say anything, just waiting for the little girl's arrival.It's been a year, has she grown taller?Is she still as playful, cute and stubborn as before?

The next two days were so difficult.Memories that I thought could be easily let go suddenly flooded into my mind again. Yin Chan's life is like a still pool of water, a stone goes down, but only a circle or two ripples.But the ripples, after such a long time, unexpectedly began to ripple again.

To Yin Chan's disappointment, the carriage to Jinmen Town came back empty in the end.

The boy who drove the car reported back that Mrs. Xi Er contracted a cold in the winter, and her lung disease, which had been relieved, became more serious again. Master Xi Er had to support his family, so the burden of taking care of his wife fell on Wan Xiang. , both of them were too busy to touch the ground.Previously, Xi Yuannian was out of face, so he didn't say clearly in the letter that he came to pick up someone now, so he couldn't hide it.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xi was also helpless, the second boy was always like this, and it was not something to be ashamed of, he always kept it hidden and refused to say it.The old lady Xi sighed, and wrote a book, asking them to pay more attention to their health, and stuffed a lot of silver into it, and let the boy at the post station send it over.

For Aunt Feng, it is natural that the fewer people in the family, the better, so as not to worry about it.Since Xiao Wanxiang left, Yin Chan has become more reticent than before, but Aunt Feng still has lingering fears from the anger she erupted because of Xi Wanxiang that day. Naturally, she doesn't know about the messy things in the Yin family. The Yin family is indeed a family of officials and eunuchs, but they can't be provoked, so they didn't compete with Yin Dang for the bank.

Aunt Feng thought, she was just a little girl who knew how to calculate accounts, and she was not as sophisticated as herself. She was gentle and quiet all day long, and she couldn't even say a few nice words in front of the old lady, so she definitely wouldn't pose much threat.In this way, she was relieved.

It's just that the quiet marriage still hasn't settled down, which makes Aunt Feng's hair turn gray with worry.

Geng Tie was also burned to ashes by Qingse, no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't change it. Although she remembered Qingse's birthday, she forgot the exact year and time. Without these two, fortune-telling would be completely inaccurate.If it continues like this, no matter how good it is, it will be snatched up!Is it difficult to be a concubine to fill in the house?Go crazy!Aunt Feng thought, if there is really nothing to do, she took the small treasury she had saved over the years and begged Granny Hu Ba to give Qingse a complete five elements and a prosperous husband-in-law.

Two years later, when the early autumn was cold, a plague broke out in southern Shonan.

Logically speaking, the plague always broke out in the hot and humid season of summer, but when it came from the Central Plains, it was already a scene of raging fire in July.Therefore, the common people thought that this plague was only at the end of its battle, and that it would never cause any big storms.

But, God didn't arrange it that way.

That year, the plague raged in southern Hunan, killing thousands of people.

The area around Yongzhou in southern Hunan is full of smog and misery.
