Xiao Fu Lang is Born with a Good Fate

After the tsunami, Zhou Jinnian initiated the construction of the Jianzhou dam. The imperial court sent Guo Tao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to be responsible for the water conservancy project in Jianzhou.

In the forty-second year of Qingyuan, in November, he came to Jianzhou with Guo Tao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and there was an old acquaintance, Xie Yao!

It turned out that Xie Yao Chunwei passed the Jinshi examination because he answered the question of Huang Dunyi's "Tuntian" in the palace examination. Emperor Qingyuan praised him.

Huang Dunyi assigned Xie Yao to the Ministry of Industry and assigned him to the Tuntian Division as a small capital official responsible for collective farming in Beijing.

Although it is a small official, but it is also under the management of the capital, the letter can not be sent so easily, let alone sent to Zhou Jinian, the prefect of Jianzhou far in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is why Zhou Jinnian never received a letter from his eldest brother after Chunwei.

Guo Tao quietly entered the Jianzhou Mansion and walked around the city for a day. The people of Jianzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment. Some civilians praised the Jianzhou prefecture.

Guo Tao went down to the farmland again, and the farmers praised the prefect. The evaluation was really good. Guo Tao didn't even dare to believe it, and went to the sea-flooded area.

Soldiers and people here work together to control the water. Some build moats, some dig ditches to drain the water, and some back sandbags to block the water. Everyone knows their work and has a tacit understanding.

This is Guo Tao's admiration! Take the Ministry of Industry and a group of people to the government office.

...

In the study of Zhoufu, Xie Ning was lying on a wicker chair reading the book, and Brother Yu was sleeping on him, and the father and son enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.

Brother Yu can eat and sleep, and the quality of his sleep is excellent. Xie Ning was overwhelmed by the pressure of his son. He pulled him to change positions. He didn't wake up. He was impatient and twisted his butt. Xie Ning stopped moving him. He went to sleep.

Xie Ning patted his son on the back while hearing footsteps outside the study.

Soon Luhe came in and preached: "The adult from the Ministry of Industry has arrived at the mansion, and the master invited the adults into the mansion for dinner."

Xie Ning's brows stretched, "It's finally here."

Xie Ning sat up, picked up Brother Yu and sent her son back to the room to sleep, fearing that he would kick the quilt and made a little girl guard.

Luhe followed Xie Ning all the time, and the two went to the stove together.

Xie Ning only picked a piece of lean meat, and the rest were fish. In addition to grilled fish, we also need to make a fried fish cake.

Scrape the scales and pick the bones, slice the fish, beat it with a rolling pin, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and finally coat it with starch and deep-fry it in a pan.

The lean meat is chopped into fillings, stuffed into the belly of green peppers, and fried a tiger-skin pepper.

The soup is going to cook a seaweed tofu soup, which is tender and delicious.

Xie Ning was busy, and the stone came to the door of the stove. Xie Ning first asked: "Has the Ji Nian come back?"

"Master is back, with Master Guo." Shishi bowed his head to reply first, and then spread the word: "Master confessed that you will have a separate share and send it to the study personally."

Xie Ning wondered, "Study? Who is it for?"

The stone bowed his head and shook his head, meaning that the master would not let him talk.

"All right." Xie Ning nodded, retreated the stone, and continued to work on her own.

Xie Ning and Lin Jin are not at the table, and eat in the house by themselves. Therefore, people were arranged to bring the dishes into the main hall one by one and put them on the table. Xie Ning led Luhe with his own portion toward the study.

Stepping into the study, a man in ink stood with his back turned to Xie Ning, looking at the painting on the wall. The painting was painted by Zhou Jinian, and he was a reminder of his life.

Xie Ning hadn't seen this figure from the back for nearly four years, and he didn't dare to admit it for a while.

Xie Yao heard the movement behind him and turned around. His younger brother Ning Ge'er was dressed in a dark green gown, lined with white skin, hidden under the thick clothes, no fat or thin, but looking up, he had black hair. Behind his head, his face was smooth and delicate, the slightly slender apricot eyes were full of surprises, the small and straight nose bridge, and the moderately thick lips smiling.

"Brother Ning has lost weight." Xie Yao stepped closer.

At the time of separation, Xie Ning gave birth to brother Yu for nine months. Because of sufficient nutrition, she was a little rounded and looked like a teenager. After three years, Xie Ning has faded the baby fat, the bones are fully displayed, and the temperament has become more mature, and he has lost his youthful spirit, and looks like a gentle and gentle noble son.

Luhe put down the food he was holding, went to pick up what Xie Ning was holding, and left the study after putting it down.

Xie Yao put his hands on his younger brother's shoulders, and gently squeezed his younger brother's shoulder bones.

Xie Ning's eyes were red, and he followed his husband all the way away from home, and away from the relatives who gave birth to him. He thought it was time to meet again for this lifetime. It was time for gray hair. Not only did they know how much they missed each other when they met.

"Don't cry." Xie Yao coaxed his brother, "They are all fathers."

"Big brother!" Xie Ning sniffed, "Why did my big brother come to Jianzhou? I haven't written a letter for half a year. My husband only knows that you are going to Beijing for the exam, and I don't know where you want to send the letter to the capital...Big brother, how is your home? ?"

"Oh..." Xie Yao took his younger brother to sit down, "Everything is fine at home, I am ordered to come to Jianzhou to be responsible for the farming..."

Xie Yao began to talk to his younger brother about the Xie family's family after the separation. In October last year, when he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, Li Shiyi was pregnant. He stayed in the capital after being a scholar. He waited for Li Shiyi to give birth to a child and waited for the child to reach his first birthday, so he could not be reunited.

Xie Yao took out the portrait he carried with him and showed it to Xie Ning, "Before I came to Jianzhou, I sent it from my home, Brother Ning, this is your niece."

The portrait shows a chubby doll with dense hair and sleeping with eyes closed.

Xie Ning reached out and touched the fat baby's face on the portrait.

Xie Yao looked down at his brother's hand. The bones were distinct, the fingers were slender, and the nails were clean and rounded. They were working hands, but not very rough. It seems that the younger brother has not endured hardship with Zhou Jinnian over the years.

"Daddy..." Brother Yu woke up and didn't want to eat well. Hearing Aunt Luhe said that Daddy was in the study, he ran over.

Xie Yao hurriedly got up and went to the door when he heard the child's crisp voice.

Brother Yu stepped on the threshold with one foot and stared blankly at the strange tall man in front of him.

Xie Ning smiled and said to her son: "Hey, this is your uncle, your eldest brother."

Xie Yao tentatively stretched out his hand, "Brother Yu, can uncle hug you?"

"When you were just born, you liked your uncle hugged, and you laughed when you hugged you." Xie Ning encouraged his son.

Brother Yu tried his little mouth, and Xiao Xuan Claw tentatively moved forward. After looking at it carefully, the adult in front of him did look a bit like Daddy.

After Brother Yu's warm little paw touched Xie Yao's big palm, he was picked up by Xie Yao.

Xie Yao hugged his nephew in his arms, patted him on the back, sat on the couch table, twisted a fried fish cake with chopsticks and fed it to Brother Yu.

Brother Yu shouted when he had something to eat, "Uncle!"

The two brothers of the Xie family laughed loudly.

Xie Ning also sat across from his eldest brother. He was really happy today.

"...Then I was accused of coming to Jianzhou. Actually, it has been three days since I came to Jianzhou. It seems that Mr. Guo has not only come to build a dam, but has been asking the people about the prefect."

"I used to be a governor before, and Jinnian took him to Guanhaitai. He didn't go without a sedan chair. He arranged eight men to carry him the sedan chair. He never got off the ground. After saying nothing, he went back." Xie Ning is not exaggerating at all.

Xie Yao nodded, "Master Guo should have received a secret order from the sage. It is estimated that this is to check the political achievements of the year. But this way, I think Master Guo is very satisfied."

These words made Xie Ning even more happy. There were two great events in the day. One was seeing blood relatives in his hometown, and the other was seeing her husband's ability.

"Eh? Did you recognize Jinian, Brother?" Xie Ning suddenly thought, if Guo Tao finds out that one of the officials along the way is the eldest brother-in-law of the prefect that he wants to investigate, then?

"As soon as I saw me in Ji Nian, I immediately recognized it." Xie Yao smiled and sighed. Ning Ge'er really hasn't changed at all. It's about Zhou Ji Nian, everything is the first.

"Huh?" Xie Ning frowned. Wouldn't Mr. Guo misunderstand his eldest brother to inform him?

"Master Guo appreciates sending the New Year even more, boasting that he is a person of integrity." Xie Yao put down his chopsticks and learned Guo Tao's original words: "If you are really secretly communicating the news, how can you still recognize each other on the open? Moreover, the flood cannot be faked, nor can it be faked to help the people rebuild their homes."

"This is what Mr. Guo said."

Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry." Xie Yao comforted his brother, "Although I can't dine at the same table with Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo knows when I come to the study, and he feels that the Shannian Year style is decent and righteous."

Xie Ning grinned uncontrollably.

In Xie Yao's eyes, his younger brother was back again, carefree.

"Big brother eat fast, it's cold, the food is not good when it's cold. After eating, our brother has a drink." Xie Ning craned his neck and shouted to Luhe, "Luhe, let people clean up the room, and the eldest brother stayed back. "

Xie Yao hurriedly stopped, "I can't live, I'll still live with Mr. Guo at the back hall of the mansion. The place is very clean and easy to do."

"It's okay. Pack it up. It's okay to just live tonight. I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time. I still want to hear my eldest brother talk about home."

Xie Yao nodded, "Then stay tonight, stop the wine, make a barley tea and drink it."

In Dajing Village when he was young, Xie Ning used to cook to cool off the heat and relieve difficulties. Xie Yao liked drinking barley tea made by his younger brother.

"good."

Xie Yao ate while feeding Brother Yu. Fortunately, Brother Yu could already eat by himself, and as long as it was eaten, Brother Yu would not refuse.

After eating, Xie Ning went to the stove to fry the barley tea, while Brother Yu stayed with his uncle temporarily.

Knowing that his nephew was still unfamiliar with his uncle, Xie Yao showed the portrait to Brother Yu, "Brother Yu, this is your sister."

Brother Yu touched the person in the portrait with two small claws, "Sister..."

"Yes, it's your uncle's daughter, your sister, it's been three months."

Brother Yu retracted his little palm and rubbed his hands in his arms, "What's the younger sister?"

"Sister is sleeping."

"What can my sister do?"

Xie Yao smiled lovingly, "Sister can play with you."

"Play..." Brother Yu got interested, shook his head and looked around, "Where?"

Xie Yao liked the look of his head and brain even more. Xie Yao's own daughter is far away in Yuezhou and will be stationed with him in the capital in the future, so he said to Brother Yu: "Where is your father, you find him want."

The three-year-old Yu brother also began to want a little friend, since listening to his uncle...

One day, as soon as Zhou Jinnian returned to the mansion, he ran away, "Father, I want a younger sister..."

Xie Ning staggered behind her son.

Zhou Jinnian raised his eyebrows, squatted down and touched his son's little face, "Who taught you?"

"Daddy..." Brother Yu's little head was unclear.

Xie Ning's cheeks were puffed up, and she was framed by her own son!

"..." Zhou Jinnian picked up his son and agreed, "I will give you a sister at night."

"No..." Xie Ning reached out to pull at Zhou Jinnian's girdle, "I didn't teach your son!"

Brother Yu opened his small mouth slightly, watching his father's angry expression strangely.

Zhou Jinian is still calm, "Say to the evening, don't be ashamed of Fu Lang."

After talking about Zhou Jinnian, he hugged his son and walked forward to talk to the two elders in the hall.

I'm ashamed of you! Xie Ning stretched out a finger, angrily poking the air like his son's fat little butt.

I thought about it again, his own man is so good to him, why wouldn't Ning brother want to give him a baby? pregnancy!

Brother Yu was placed in the hall, and Lin Jin pinched a roasted sweet potato to summon his grandson, "Brother Yu, this baked potato is really sweet."

"I'll try it!" Brother Yu ran over, nestled in his grandfather's arms, holding the roasted sweet potato by himself, and tearing the sweet potato skin with his short fingers.

"Hahaha...you taste it?" We laughed loudly on Wednesday, and the grandson said this like an adult.

"Sweet or not?" Lin Jin circled his grandson in her arms and asked him teasingly.

Brother Yu couldn't tear the sweet potato skins well, and Xiaozui'er ate a circle of black potatoes, nodded, and was busy eating.

Zhou Jinnian also sat down and took a cup of tea to drink tea.

Brother Yu held up the roasted sweet potatoes that he gnawed apart, and ran to please him, with a small mouth, "Father, here, change my sister!"

Lin Jin went to see in surprise, and smiled silently with Wednesday Feng.

"Good." Zhou Jinnian was very patient with his son and agreed again.

Xie Ning walked into the room and heard the birth of his son again, deliberately trying to annoy him, "What if it's not a sister, but a younger brother?"

Brother Yu didn't understand anything, "I want my sister."

When Xie Ning sat down, he went to pounce Xie Ning again, leaning on his father's leg, and continued to eat sweet potatoes.

Xie Ning frowned when he looked at his sloppy mouth, took the veil and wiped his mouth, "This is not certain."

Brother Yu didn't understand, he looked at his father with a white face held up, with a look of confusion.

"It may be a younger sister or a younger brother. If you want it, you have to accept it. You can't say that it's not a sister, so you don't want it." Xie Ning reasoned with him.

Brother Yu pouted, unhappy.

Lin Jin quickly got up and took his grandson back, telling him the benefits of his younger brother, "Good grandson, it’s okay to be a younger brother, and younger brother will accompany you to kick Cuju."

Wei Feng is a man, and he said: "If you want a younger sister, you will be born again!"

In the Qing Dynasty, it was a blessing to have many children and grandchildren. Of course, Wednesday Feng thought the same way. It's just that he wanted to return to thinking, and he wouldn't be horny. Otherwise, Fu Lang Lin Jin had only given birth to a son, and he didn't get pregnant anymore, and he didn't have any other ideas.

Brother Yu is still unwilling, he just wants his sister, with a lot of hair on his head, and a chubby sister.

"Hello, brother, when he grows up, he can protect you." Lin Jin continued to coax, and it is best to tell Brother Yu to like his brother.

Brother Yu softly agreed, "Okay."

He wants a brother who can protect him and play Cuju with him.

Xie Ning pursed his mouth and shook his head. The son he gave birth to is really good.

In the evening, Zhou Jinnian came out of the study and went back to the room. Seeing the light in the room from a distance indicated that his husband was already in the room, but Luhe was not waiting at the door.

Zhou Jinnian raised his eyebrows and walked briskly into the door.

The big red candle was burning in the room, and when I walked in, the curtains on the carved wooden bed were lowered.

In the quiet room, Zhou Jinnian chuckled softly while Xie Ning hid under the quilt, rubbing her embarrassed feet at each other.

With this chuckle, Xie Ning blushed. He wanted to use actions to tell her husband that he was willing to add a younger brother or younger sister to Brother Yu.

Then the curtain was lifted, Zhou Jinnian looked down at the person lying on the bed.

Xie Ning quickly closed her eyes, but her eyeballs swayed uncontrollably under her eyelids.

Zhou Jinnian stood by the bed, **** himself.

This silent look caused Xie Ning's face to burn more and more. Why didn't my husband speak? What's your husband's face?

This is really tormenting. Xie Ning's Adam’s apple slid, and finally couldn’t help it. He quietly opened a gap in his eye...

As soon as he opened his eyes, the husband jumped up naked. Xie Ning yelled, "Ah!"

"Haha..." Zhou Jinnian's chest shook, he lifted the quilt and got in, embracing Ning Lang.

Xie Ning pouted her mouth, her legs quietly wrapped around Zhou Jinnian's waist, shy of being laughed, and complained: "Why don't you make a sound..."

Zhou Jinnian flicked the broken hair between Ninglang's forehead with one hand, and lowered his head to kiss without a word.

"Huh..." Xie Ning hummed softly, thinking of his plan, pushed Zhou Jinnian, and rolled over.

"Huh?" Zhou Jinnian raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then half-squinted to enjoy.

Xie Ning buried himself, drew himself into the quilt, and took the initiative to make her husband happy.

As soon as Zhou Jinnian is free, he will owe, "He...Ning Lang grows up..."

The jade white arm stretched out from the quilt and covered Zhou Jinnian's mouth.

The breathing of the two people overflowed from the bed curtain, and the inside was red and washed up, so unhappy.

...

For the construction of the dam, because Zhou Jinnian had done a good job of laying the groundwork before, so after Guo Tao took over, everything went smoothly.

In the forty-fourth year of Qingyuan, Zhou Jinnian, due to his outstanding political achievements and meritorious service in flood control, served as the Zuo minister of the household department and a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin cabinet.

Emperor Qingyuan assigned Zhou Jinnian to the household department, obviously not only because of flood control, but because of his ability to govern. The minister of the household department is responsible for the actual collection of taxes, restraining the mergers of the rich and the people, and adjusts the surplus and vacancies according to the income and expenditure of each state, and finally provides compensation and relief to the poor in the disaster area.

In charge of the treasury finance and economics, under the Hubu Shangshu, side by side with the right minister of the Hubu, in short, it is a fat man.

The Hanlin cabinet can be said to be the highest social group in the Qing Dynasty. It is a very glorious thing to be able to enter the Hanlin.

As soon as he received the imperial decree, Zhou Jinnian urgently recalled Qianghuo, and he needed Qianghuo, a doctor proficient in medical skills, to **** the family to Beijing.

Xie Ning was also arranging the business route. After discussing with Zhang Hai in the pavilion, she asked, "Is there any eyebrows about the limericks?"

Zhang Hai: "It has been found that it is a foreign businessman, and because it is not local to Jianzhoufu, it is difficult to know who it is."

"Foreign merchants?" Xie Ning kept reminiscing in his mind, could it be the Duan family? Pretending to be a foreign businessman?

Xie Ning really has no clue. Since he did business, he has never had any grudges with anyone. The whole fish banquet he opened hasn't blocked people's business.

He runs a business selling dried soft fish and dried shrimps, and does not have conflicts of interest with any businessmen.

"Continue to investigate." Xie Ning did not give up, the misfortune was not eliminated, and troubles were prone to occur. "I will go to the capital to stabilize and send you a letter. If you find out something, you can ask someone to write to me and let me know."

"Definitely." Zhang Hai also hopes to help Ning Ye find out the matter. He is on a big boat, and there is someone he knows at the feet of the emperor.

When Zhang Hai is gone, Xie Ning is still thinking about foreign merchants, and Luhe is currently guessing Duan Daqian.

"Most likely, it seems that there is really only Duan Daqian, but he should be grateful to Nian Ye. Nian Ye caught the real murderer of his son."

Xie Ning shook his head and said in denial: "It shouldn't be Duan Daqian. His tea industry is already overwhelmed. There is no time."

Luhe couldn't guess it. After all, when she followed Zhou's family, Zhou's family was already in Yuezhou.

When the two were talking, a little maid came to inform that Qianghuo was back!

Qianghuo has been away for two years, practicing medicine and righteousness, and when he comes back to Zhou Mansion, there is already a pillow by his side.

Qianghuo introduced Xie Ning, "This is an insider, Chang Wenqing."

Chang Wenqing wears a blue coarse cloth scarf on her head. Although she is wearing a red skirt, the cuffs are tied. He is very capable, unlike the big sleeves of an ordinary woman.

Looking at her face again, she is not as delicate as a Jiangnan woman, a little sallow, her eyes are energetic and heroic, like a quack.

Xie Ning tried not to look back at Luhe's expression, and asked with some embarrassment: "Who is Qing Niang? Qianghuo is really true. Why don't you ask your family to invite a matchmaker to get married? You have not lost the girl?"

Chang Wenqing laughed immediately and answered first: "I'm from Lingnan, so I don't need a matchmaker, I'm the only one in my house."

She really looked like a gangster, she was very bold, and Xie Ning also followed with a smile, "Okay, but the etiquette still needs to be made up, Qing Niang will live there first, not in a hurry."

"Thank you Lord Ning." Chang Wenqing grinned.

Luhe said, "Master Ning, I will clean up the house for Qianghuo and Qingniang."

Xie Ning took the opportunity to turn around and looked at Luhe worriedly. Luhe looked as usual, avoiding Xie Ning's sight, and turned away.

Alas, Xie Ning sighed in his heart. Luhe was looking forward to Qiang's coming back, but only two people came back.

Lucky for Luhe, the master Xie Ning regarded her as a relative. He thought that when Qiang came back from life, Xie Ning would definitely listen to her wishes and point her to the marriage.

Unexpectedly, as a slave, she couldn't help herself, and in the end, she was unhappy in the end.
