After spending seven days leisurely in the village, Xu Lang took his wife and children back to the city. He first went to the courtyard to meet Mrs. Xu, and then returned to Lingxi courtyard to rectify. The next day, life returned to normal. Xu Lang went to the yamen to work, and Chen Danxia took care of his son at home.

Time is like water, sunrise and sunset, winter moon connects to twelfth lunar month, light snow connects to heavy snow. After Laba Festival, it is the end of the year. The New Year goods in the mansion have been purchased. The inside and outside the house, and the yard at the door are cleaned. Big red lanterns are hung, new window flowers are pasted, and more than a dozen pots of winter-resistant flowers and plants are also moved in the corridor to add a touch of bright color to the monotonous winter yard. The house is also filled with plum blossoms in spring bottles, and the incense is replaced with cold plum fragrance.

On the 28th, Chen Danxia received an invitation from the Cheng family, which was Cheng Jue's wedding invitation. It was the sixth day of the first lunar month. Cheng Jue finally got married. Friends and relatives were happy to hear it. Chen Danxia also went to buy a set of red gold ruby ​​stone noodles and prepared to give it to the freshly baked Mrs. Cheng Er.

One day, it was New Year's Eve, and the couple stayed together for the first time on New Year's Eve. I felt a little sad when I thought about it. At noon, the temperature rose, and the wet nurse quickly took a bath for the two little guys. Xu Lang and Shen Danxia also went to take a bath, washed away the dust for a year and welcomed the new year.

At night, they first went to the ancestral hall to worship, then sent away the people from the second and third bedrooms, went back to the yard to rest, changed their clothes, the couple held their fingers together, and the other hand held their son, and the family of four went to the flower hall in the courtyard for the New Year's Eve dinner. Chen Gun was carried over as usual, looking at Xu Lang and Shen Danxia, ​​their eyes were blazing, and strange screams were heard.

No one understood what she said. Chen Peimei roared a few times. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she had to calm down. After the servants in the mansion saluted, Xu Kui announced that the banquet was started. Last year, Xu Lang was not at home, but this year Wang passed away. Xu Shuo was alone in this reunion dinner was still flawed.

After eating, she moved from the flower hall to the warm pavilion. Mrs. Xu and three little guys sat on the warm kang. Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang sat on the side of Yue'er, "Sister, sister."

Yue'er opened her big eyes and looked at her two cousins, her mouth cracked and she laughed silently.

After sitting and talking for a while, the three little guys yawned one after another and became sleepy. Mrs. Xu did not keep everyone, and asked everyone to go back to the yard to stay up to the next year. Everyone saluted and wanted to leave. Mrs. Xu suddenly said, "Brother Chao, it's late at night. You can accompany your wife to the room first."

Xu Chao was stunned for a moment and replied: "Yes."

Sun Zhenniang bit the corner of her lips. She knew that Mrs. Xu had good intentions, but she didn't want Xu Chao to approach her. However, she said nothing and followed Xu Chao out of the door.

There is not much newness in the New Year. The first and second sons of the first lunar month and the second lunar month visit relatives and friends. In the blink of an eye, it is the sixth lunar month. Xu Chao and Shen Danxia go to Cheng’s house for wedding banquet. Cheng’s house is decorated with lights and colorful, and the new house has been laid out. The letters of red rumpus are covered everywhere, which are very lively. Cheng Jue, wearing a bright red wedding robe, is as gentle as jade, but why does he look a little listless? Chen Danxia, ​​who is standing in the crowd of people watching the ceremony, muttering inwardly, but he doesn’t think much about it.

Cheng Jueshun successfully brought the bride back, got married, and sent it to the bridal chamber. Cheng Jue opened the bride's red veil with a faint smile, drank a glass of wine, and said to the bride Wang, "I'll go back."

Mrs. Wang is the granddaughter of Mr. Cheng's old friend. He has a dignified and beautiful oval face, with a crystal-clear skin and a rose-like face. Of course, he is now covered by thick powder and cannot be seen. He is slim and has a light body. According to Miao's understanding, he is a quiet, subtle and understanding girl.

"Second brother and sister, I'll stay there soon after I'm not feeling comfortable, so I'll go out first, see you tomorrow." Tao Jie stood up with a smile. Although she has been married for a while, she has been tired from being a bride and has become more and more tired from it over time.

Wang chuckled, "This sister-in-law met for the first time, but she didn't know what she would be like in the future?" And she would know when she got along in the future. Under the maid's service, Wang took off her heavy outfits, and then came in, ate to replenish her energy, and waited for the wedding candle tonight.

The yard is not too lively. After all, Cheng Yu and Cheng Jue are not at a high level, and neither Cheng nor Cheng has become an official, so those forces will naturally not come in person. The King of Yan beat the chief of the royal palace to give gifts and drink wedding banquets. The gifts are given very heavily, which makes people secretly guess. Could Cheng Jue be the King of Yan?

Xu Lang brought the cup to toast Cheng Jue, "Congratulations to Lord Cheng, Xiao Dengke."

"Thank you." Cheng Jue smiled gently.

The wine glasses clinked and each drank them all.

"On a happy day, Lord Cheng, why not have another glass." Xu Lang picked up the pot and filled the wine for himself and Cheng Jue.

"Okay." Cheng Jue refused everyone and drank three drinks with Xu Lang. Then the others also cheered and came forward to drink his wine. Xu Lang quietly retreated with a smile.

Kuaizi Shizheng, wearing a big happy robe and drinking, Cheng Jue was helped into the new house. Wang was not surprised. On the day of the happy day, the groom was inevitably drunk. Wang ordered his maid to send hot water to wipe Cheng Jue's face.

The handkerchief in Wang's hand was just placed on Cheng Jue's face. Cheng Jue suddenly opened his eyes. Wang shouted in frightened, "Second Master."

"I'll do it myself." Cheng Jue sat up.

"Second Master is not drunk?" Wang asked tentatively when he saw that Cheng Jue's eyes were still so clear.

"I remember that today is our wedding night, how could we get drunk?" Cheng Jue said with a smile. Even though this woman is not his beloved, since he promised to marry her, he would not treat her harshly. If he did not have sex with her today, it would be a speechless humiliation to her, and he could not bear to hurt this innocent woman.

Wang's pretty face turned slightly red, and she smiled shyly and coquettishly. Cheng Jue went to the bathroom to take a shower, and the person became more awake. He went back to the room to go to bed, and the couple returned to harmoniously. The next day, the nanny beside Miao came to collect the Yuanpa. Miao looked at the red plums on the Yuanpa and smiled with satisfaction. Now what she had to worry about was the marriage of her third son Cheng Yu.

The days are neither fast nor slow, and it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. On the Chinese New Year's Day, after dinner, Xu Lang took his wife and children to the street to watch the lanterns, and watched the lanterns in a daze all the way. Then he went to the stall where the riddles were guessing a small lantern for each of the two little guys. Xu Lang asked with a smile: "Grandma, which lantern do you want?"

Shen Danxia looked up at the lantern on the top of the shelf and pointed at, "Third Master, I want that one." "Boss, get that lamp down."

Another female voice rang out at the same time.

Shen Danxia looked sideways and said, "Okay, the enemy's road is narrow. Isn't this the one who lives in Hantao Mountain Villa that day, and Mrs. Changningbo's distant niece Wei Xiu'e."

Wei Xiu'e also saw clearly who the person who was interested in the same lantern as her, and her face became ugly, "I took a look at this lantern first."

Chen Danxia curled his lips and smiled, "Third Master, I'm hungry, let's go there to eat." He ignored Wei Xiu'e at all, and his biggest contempt was ignorance.

Wei Xiu'e stared at Chen Danxia's back as she left, her face twisted; the stall owner asked carefully: "Girl, do you still want this lantern?"

Wei Xiu'e glanced at him and left with her sleeves; the stall owner curled his lips and muttered, "The bad guy is delaying my business."

Xu Lang and Shen Danxia led their son to the stall selling Lantern Festival, and met two acquaintances, Cheng Jue and his newlywed wife Wang. After greeting each other, Chen Danxia pulled Pang Pang Zhuangzhuang to his side and said, "Call for uncle and aunt."

"Uncle, aunt." Pangpangzhuang called obediently.

Wang's marriage to the Cheng family was still short, and most of the in-laws in the Cheng family didn't know each other. He was a little surprised by this title and showed it on his face; Cheng Jue was teasing Pang Pang Zhuang, but he didn't notice it; Chen Danxia laughed and said, "Grandma Cheng is my mother's niece. My surname is Chen, and my husband's surname is Xu."

"So it's my sister. It's such a coincidence that I met here." The smile on Wang's face became a little sincere. No one would dislike a person who acted generously.

Wang's temperament is gentle. Chen Danxia also intends to get along with him for Cheng Jue's sake. The two had a great time talking. While they were talking, five bowls of Lantern Festival and an empty bowl were served on the table. Xu Lang separated the bowl of Lantern Festival evenly and let the two little guys eat it.

"It's very hot, you have to blow it before you can eat it." Chen Danxia told his two sons.

"Sister, don't you feed them?" Wang asked.

"They can eat it themselves, so they don't have to feed it." Chen Danxia smiled.

Wang laughed, "What a good two good kids."

"It was Sister Ninth who taught me well." Cheng Jue praised seriously.

Chen Danxia smiled, bite the Lantern Festival, and frowned, "This bean paste filling is too greasy, Master San, I want to eat your bowl." Xu Lang wanted it to be peanut filling.

Xu Lang changed the two bowls over.

Chen Danxia ate three, but she couldn't eat them anymore. If it weren't for the sake of the situation, she would rather eat wontons or meat patties. Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang were so sweet that they ate. After half a bowl of Lantern Festival, they still felt unsatisfied. "Mom, Pangpang (Zhuangzhuang) still wants them."

Chen Danxia wiped their mouths with a veil and said, "The Lantern Festival is made of glutinous rice flour. If you eat too much, you can't digest it. You have eaten several of them. You can't eat them anymore. If you want them, you will be a greedy and greedy child, not a good child; do you want to be a bad child?"

"Good kid, Pangpang (Zhuangzhuang) is a good kid." The two little guys raised their chins and said.

Wang asked with a smile: "Sister, can I hug them?" She really likes such a cute child. It would be great if she could have such two children in the future.

"Of course." Chen Danxia did not refuse, "Pangpang Zhuangzhuang, go and let your aunt hug you."

With the help of Mo Shi and Mo Wang, Pang Pang Zhuang got off the bench and threw himself into Wang's arms. Wang was happy in his heart and couldn't help but kiss them on the faces of the two. The two little guys immediately kissed her, asking Jiang to take them back home.

The money for eating Lantern Festival was given by Cheng Jue because he said, "Although my official position is not as high as Lord Xu and my salary is small, I still have five bowls of Lantern Festival silver."

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Xu Lang accepted it. He was the big winner, so he won't fight with him for this little thing.

After leaving the stall selling Lantern Festival, they separated. Seeing Xu Lang and Shen Danxia holding hands and walking side by side, Wang smiled and said, "My sister and brother-in-law are so loving."

Cheng Jue's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "It's not too late, it's time for us to go back."

After the Lantern Festival, Cheng Jue packed his luggage and was about to return to Kui County. The emperor generously gave him more than a month of marriage leave, and it was time to go back and do serious business. Miao was not the kind of evil mother-in-law who treated his wife harshly, so he asked Wang to go with him, hoping that the couple would get closer and closer, so that she could hold her grandchildren as soon as possible.

On the 17th day of the first lunar month, it was Yi to travel, so Cheng Jue took the Wang family and his maid to set off for Kui County.

In mid-February, the southwest urgently reported to Beijing, and the Southern Myanmar State sought peace, willing to respect Dafeng as the superior country, and paid tribute every year. After the Yongning Hou swept around in the past few months, the Southern Myanmar State invaded Dafeng and died or surrendered. The Southern Myanmar State was no longer able to fight again, and the three cities adjacent to Dafeng were also occupied.

The lord and the ministers who fought in the court quarreled endlessly. In the end, the lord and the peace faction took the lead. However, the emperor did not obey their suggestions and sent people to the Southern Myanmar State to negotiate peace. Instead, he sent an order to ask the Marquis of Yongning to tell the lord of the Southern Myanmar State that he would send people to Jindu to negotiate. The emperor was ready to suppress the other party first.

The Southern Myanmar Kingdom was defeated and faced with more than 100,000 troops in Dafeng, he could not have the desire to resist. The Southern Myanmar Kingdom king sent the fifth prince, the eighth prince and several ministers to discuss peace. Their followers also included several specialties from the Southern Myanmar Kingdom and more than fifty beauties.

On the afternoon of March 30, the Southern Myanmar Mission, escorted by the Marquis of Yongning, Zhao Chengzhi and a thousand marquis' personal soldiers, arrived at Jindu City and moved into the Siyi Pavilion. The emperor did not immediately call them.

That night, Zhao Qianzhi was pregnant for ten months and the melon was ripe and the stems fell. On March 31, he gave birth to a daughter, weighing five pounds and four ounces. Although he was a girl, this was the first child of the King of Yan and the first grandchild of the emperor. The emperor asked Empress Zhao to give the child a name.

Although Empress Zhao hated King Yan to death, she had to pretend to be happy on the surface. In order to show her love for her granddaughter, she even gave her a reward. She personally arranged the nanny and the palace maid who served her. After thinking for three days, she named the baby girl Gao Yin and issued an imperial decree to make her the Princess Xixi.

Yang Lingzhi changed into a new tea set in her room and said hatefully: "A illegitimate girl, holding her so high, wouldn't she be afraid of falling down and being killed?"

"The princess is just a girl, and she can't become a climate. The princess is good at maintaining her body and adding a little prince to the prince is the most important thing." The confidant nanny who came from her parents' home persuaded her.

Yang Lingzhi pressed her stomach and said frowningly: "But I have been raising me for more than half a year, but my stomach has not moved. I don't know if I have any luck?" It is said that the prince rests in her room for ten days a month, and she should have been pregnant, why hasn't she been pregnant for a long time? Since Concubine Zhao got pregnant, the prince just visited him every now and then and never stayed overnight. He always went to Concubine Xu's room for five days every month. Mrs. Wei, who was the most favored one before, was rejected by the prince and stopped sleeping. The other three wives served for two days a month.

"Princess should not say such a discouraged word. The princess will definitely give birth to a young prince for the prince." said the confidant nanny.

"The medicine is boiled and they can bring it in." Yang Lingzhi regained her calmness, and she would definitely be able to get pregnant with the child.

On the other hand, after receiving the imperial edict, Gao Ju went to the study to burn a book called "Shuowen Jiezi". Yin has the meaning of padding, mattress, etc., and the character "Xi" is homophonic with the character "Xi". The meaning of Empress Zhao's name for the child is obvious. How can Gao Ju not get angry?
