Chapter 451： Dahyuk returns

As he was talking, his aunt Jiang Yunniang came in, followed by the pregnant Hong Xiao.

Hongxiao is married, and she happens to be going back to her parents’ home today to pay New Year’s greetings.

"Ying Bao." Jiang Yunniang sat down next to Ying Bao and handed her the box in her hand: "This is your aunt's wedding gift."

"Thank you, aunt." Ying Bao was not polite, took it and asked, "Where does aunt live now? Let me take a look when I have time."

She heard her father say that he and Dacheng brother together spent money to buy a house for their aunt in the county for Zhang Yuying to marry. As a result, Zhang Yukun and his wife also moved there. He also said that their brothers had not separated their families in the first place, so they should They will live together and together with their younger brother, they will provide for their mother until the end of her life.

My aunt was so angry with the couple that she couldn't drive them away, so she had no choice but to spend her time like this.

When Jiang Yunniang heard that her niece was going to her house, she looked happy, "I live in Willow Lane, your mother knows where it is. When are you going, Bao'er? I'll make dumplings for you to eat."

“The day after tomorrow, I’ll go and identify the door.” Ying Bao said.

Knowing that her niece wanted to support her, Jiang Yunniang's eyes turned red. She took Ying Bao's hand and said, "Okay, I'll cut more leeks the next morning."

At this time, Hongxiao came over to salute Yingbao, but Yingbao held her back: "Cousin, there is no need to be polite. You are inconvenient, so just sit down."

Hong Xiao, the maid, brought a stool and asked her to sit down.

Hongxiao was a little cautious, smiled at her, and saluted the elders present. Then she sat on the stool and secretly looked at Yingbao who was sitting on top.

At this moment, Ying Bao is wearing a tapestry dress with gold phoenix pattern on a red background, a blue cloud pattern Xiapei, her hair is pulled high, with a phoenix gold hairpin in the middle, and phoenix dotted emerald gold steps on both sides.

Bright eyes, exquisite facial features, still so beautiful, but there is a momentum of the superior.

Hongxiao didn’t dare to look anymore and just listened to everyone talking silently.

Soon, the servants prepared a banquet in the side hall and came to invite the female relatives to the table.

There were also two tables placed in the main hall, and they began to mingling and drinking.

As for the guards and servants, the big kitchen is also making food for the banquet. When the masters leave the banquet, it will be their turn.

The next day, Jiang Sanlang and his wife took Yingbao and his wife back to Plum Blossom Lane.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Er Ni running over and looking at Ying Bao in surprise: "Why have you changed?"

"How can there be?" Yingbao smiled and said, "You just changed." She touched Erni's belly and said, "It's been seven months."

Erni hummed sheepishly and pulled Yingbao to her grandparents.

 Wei Zhan also came over, and together with Ying Bao, he gave gifts to his grandparents, and had people bring gifts to distribute to everyone.

Ms. Jiang Liu smiled from ear to ear, dragged Ying Bao and Wei Zhan into the house, and gave each of the two couples a red envelope: "This is the lucky money for you."

Yingbao smiled: "Grandma, we are all married, so we don't need any new year's money."

“Who said that!” Mrs. Jiang Liu said angrily, “When you have a child, grandma won’t have to give you New Year’s greetings.”

Erni said from the side: "Yes, grandma told me so too."

Ms. Jiang Liu smiled and nodded: "When you have a child, your grandmother will celebrate the new year for the child."

As he was talking, several little children ran in from outside.

“This is a pair of children from Sister Danni’s family, and that one is the younger daughter from the eldest brother’s family.” Erni introduced.

Yingbao took out a handful of small silver gourds from his bag and gave them to the children.

The youngest daughter of Jiang Cheng's family was about four or five years old. She was very clever and immediately kowtowed to Ying Bao: "Happy New Year to my aunt!"

The other two also followed suit and knelt down and kowtowed. At this time, another six or seven-year-old girl came in, leading a two- or three-year-old boy.

“Sister Yingbao, happy New Year.” Jiang Xiaomei saluted Yingbao solemnly, and then asked the little doll to wish her sister a happy New Year.

Yingbao also stuffed a silver gourd into Miss Jiang and the little boy, and said, "Go back and collect your brother's silver gourd. Don't let him put this in his mouth."

"Yes." Jiang Xiaomei is particularly sensible, "Don't worry, sister, I will put the silver gourd away when I get back."

“Okay, okay, little sister, please take your nephews and nieces to play. I want to talk to your sister Yingbao.” Erni had a lot to say to Yingbao and was too busy to rush them.

Jiang Xiaomei glared at her and took her brother, nieces and nephews out.

 Wei Zhan also went out to talk to his father-in-law and Uncle Jiang, Uncle Jiang, about the mulberry farming in Qinchuan County.

This county is also Yingbao's fiefdom, and the taxes here also belong to her. Therefore, Wei Zhan must understand the situation here and sort out all the poor towns.

Inside the house, Erni was eating the snacks brought out by her grandmother and said to her little cousin, "Yingbao, let me tell you something. Chen Changping from Xichen Village is back."

Ying Bao was startled: "Chen Changping? Isn't he dead?"

“Who said he was dead?” Erni threw a piece of sesame candy into her mouth and chewed it loudly: “I heard that the emperor granted amnesty to the whole world, and he was released from southern Xinjiang.”

Ying Bao suddenly understood.

Chen Changping participated in King Cheng's rebellion, but he was just a little-known loser, perhaps not even a loser. He was only implicated in King Cheng's affairs, and was sentenced to exile in southern Xinjiang.

Last year, the emperor held a full moon banquet for the prince and held a general amnesty. Many minor crimes were pardoned, and Chen Changping must have been included in the pardon.

Yingbao pretended to be casual and asked, "What's so strange about him coming back?" Anyway, he is destined to be a commoner in this life, and if he can't make waves anymore, he probably won't even have the reputation of being a scholar by now.

Erni snorted: "As soon as he came back, he ran to tell the patriarch that he wanted to teach in the school."

Ying Bao frowned: "He still teaches like that? Who's child dares to let him study under his hands?"

Erni chuckled: "Grandpa Patriarch said the same thing."

“What happened next?” Yingbao asked, “Did the patriarch let him teach?”

"No." Erni looked gloating: "There is no shortage of teachers in the school, why do we need him?"

Grabbing another handful of sesame candies and eating them, Erni said: "Ying Bao, you don't know that now Chen Changping helps his second daughter sell wontons at the market. After getting some money, he went to the town to gamble, and ended up losing everything. , which made Chen very angry."

Yingbao frowned.

She expected that Chen Changping would be like this.

He is a person with little ability. Once he falls into the quagmire, it is difficult to get up.

“Hey! Let me tell you one more thing.” Er Ni came over mysteriously, her slightly fat face almost hitting the tip of Ying Bao’s nose.

Ying Bao gave way and asked, "What's the matter?"

“Lately, Chen Changping often mentions you to people, saying that you are his daughter.” Erni winked at Yingbao: “He even went to his uncle’s house to find him and borrow money from him.”

Yingbao: "Uncle, did you borrow it?"

"Of course I won't lend it. I'm not stupid. What if I lend money to someone like that? What if I get caught?"

Erni sighed and reached out to grab another sesame candy, but Yingbao slapped her hand away. “Eat less sweets!”
