Chapter 390: Only name, no real power!
The Marquis hugged Jiayin, rubbed her little head, and replied: "Second brother can escape this time. There is a statute of limitations for the official roll call, and it must be done within a month. From now on, let alone the palace banquet, just You must also attend the semi-monthly meeting."
Li Laoer had a headache and couldn't help complaining, "There is really no free lunch in the world. Being an earl is so troublesome."
Jiayin stuck out his tongue secretly, always feeling that his second uncle was in Versailles, but there was no evidence.
In her opinion, the title of this earl is equivalent to the honorary presidents, honorary principals and the like in previous lives.
Only a name, no real power, but you still need to show up from time to time. In short, you can't just take the benefits without giving anything...
The second uncle still dislikes the trouble of being an earl. I don’t know how many people in and outside the city have red eyes with envy!
Everyone gathered together to chat and laugh lively. In the side room, Madam Hui hugged the child and felt itchy in her heart.
She also wanted to go out and talk together and look at the moon. Unfortunately, the moon was still a few days away, so she had to endure it.
Grandma He was sitting on the side, waving a rattle to tease the twins. She turned around and smiled when she saw Hui Niang like this, "Madam, don't worry, confinement is like this, you have to hide the cat and not see the wind.
“Keep on holding on, it will be over soon. After a while, I will bring you a basin of warm water. You can wipe it well and it will feel refreshed.”
“Thank you, mama.”
Hui Niang blushed a little. After all, she is already such a big person, and she still looks like a child who is anxious to go out to play. She is not decent.
"Mommy, I told you, I'm really not a lady, just call me Huiniang. Thanks to you and Shuiyun for helping me these days, it's not too late for me to be grateful." Huiniang pulled Grandma He away. Grandma's hand, "When I get out of the moon, I will make you a pair of good shoes as a thank you gift."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, madam..." Grandma He quickly waved her hands, thought about it and said, "Then I will change my words."
Huiniang laughed and talked about the fat boy from the Liu family.
When she is out of confinement, she can go and see Sister-in-law Liu.
Liu Biaotou and Liu's sister-in-law were also old enough to have a son, and they devoted themselves to their younger son.
Hearing that Jiayi asked Liu Yang to go south with the boat, the two of them waved their hands and said they knew it. They didn't care at all. Mrs. Li had prepared a piece of food for Liu Yang!
Fortunately, Liu Yang has a big heart and wishes his parents would leave him alone. Otherwise, the infant Liu Xiaoer would already be disliked by his brother!
As the old saying goes, New Year's Day is easy, but ordinary days are difficult.
The Mid-Autumn Festival reunion only lasts for one day. If you wake up early and open your eyes, life will go on as usual.
Li Zhensheng and others went to the restaurant to be busy again. Mr. Hou took Li Laosi back to the dock camp and brought Li Yong back to see his wife and children.
Although Li Laoer has become an earl, he really doesn't have the consciousness of being a nobleman yet. There is no need to worry about the school, so he goes to the valley every day.
Tao Hongying is helping out in a restaurant in the city, and Sister-in-law Liu is in confinement. If he doesn't take care of the valley, trouble will easily occur.
Of course, as an earl, he can no longer go into the valley to joke with guests or serve tea and snacks.
He was just sitting in the wooden house, taking care of the accounts, and looking at the reservation list.
In the morning, Mr. Wen had already followed Li Zhensheng and others into the city.
Mrs. Cui also planned to go back to her village in the afternoon, and now she was playing with the good news.
Old Mrs. Li was packing things on the side and discussing the betrothal gift list with her.
After all, the Cui family also comes from a scholarly family, and they know more about the preferences and taboos of scholars.
Thinking that a few years ago, the family would be able to marry their granddaughter-in-law, the old lady was really emotional and happy.
Time flies so fast. Maybe in a year or two, she will be able to have a great-grandson.
"I'll go to Luo'an tomorrow and I'll set a date with the Peng family. I'm going to marry my first granddaughter-in-law. She doesn't know anything, so let's figure it out." Mrs. Li said happily.
When Mrs. Cui heard the laughter, she said: "Don't be afraid of this, Auntie, you have many grandsons. When you get all seven grandsons in law, there will be no one in the world who is more familiar with marriage than you." The old lady also smiled. Before she could say anything, Jia An, Jia Xi and Brother Cat had already ran back from outside.
Maybe he was impatient, but Brother Cat raised his foot and tripped over the threshold. He fell so hard that he grimaced and wanted to cry.
Jia'an and Jiaxi hurriedly stepped forward to help their brother, and drove him into the house on the left and right.
Jia Xi shouted, "Grandma, when are we going to Luo'an? There is no fun at home. We want to go and play with our eldest brother and Brother Li."
Old Mrs. Li didn't feel any distress at all, she raised her hand directly, and one of her grandsons rewarded her with a chestnut!
"How old are you? You are a young man of twelve or thirteen. You know how to play all day long! Go and wash off the dirt on your body and wash your hair."
Also, pack yourself up with the things you usually use, and I will send you to Luo'an to study tomorrow. If you dare to have fun in Luo'an, there will be a gentleman to take care of you! "
The three boys hugged their heads, turned around and ran away. After a while, there was another commotion in the bathtub in the wing room.
Obviously, the three naughty boys went crazy while taking a bath.
The old lady is too lazy to pay attention to her. She has to send them to Luoan tomorrow!
Mrs. Cui saw it and kept laughing.
It is clear to onlookers that the old lady now dislikes her grandchildren for making noise, and is afraid that in a few days she will be thinking about them and will not be able to eat or sleep.
After lunch, Mrs. Cui went back.
Jiayin used the excuse to sleep, but actually took advantage of her grandma to go out and ran into the space to "do hard work", trying to become a master of simplified and traditional Chinese translation...
Old Mrs. Li didn't know what her granddaughter was plotting. At this moment, she was talking to Aunt Wu about the food shop.
"His third aunt, our family Jia'an, Jiaxi and Brother Mao are going to Luo'an to study. Plus Jiaren and Brother Li, there are five boys. The previous small shop was a bit cramped, so I bought one New yard.
"From now on, Yuru will stay in the yard and take care of the food of several children. There is only the third child left in the shop, which is difficult to support. If you and your wife care about Gou Sheng'er and don't mind the hard work of the shop, just Go to Luoan to do a favor?
“Your wages will still be calculated according to the work points in the village. If the shop’s business is good, we will give you bonus money at the end of the year. You will never be in a loss..."
Before the old lady could finish speaking, Aunt Wu's eyes were already shining, "Auntie, are you serious? That's great!"
The couple only had one child left, and they were almost killed by bandits before. They really saw more than their eyes.
In the future, I can stay close to my children and make money, which is really satisfying.
"Let's go, we must go." Aunt Wu kept nodding, fearing that the old lady would regret it, "I will pack my luggage right now, and we will follow Auntie whenever she leaves."
Mrs. Li also smiled, "I'll leave tomorrow. Stop cooking in the morning and come to my house to eat."
At the end of August, the grain in the fields has been harvested, and from a distance, it looks mottled.
The mountains and forests have also changed into dark green and withered yellow, giving them a bit of a depressed look.
But there are still people coming and going in Xindu, and the streets are very lively.
Jiayin thought her grandma would take her to a restaurant first to see the excitement, but unexpectedly she crossed the city and went to the small town of Luo'an first.
It may be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and students cannot go home. Their families are worried about them, and many people come to visit or send food and supplies.
The town was actually a bit more lively than usual.
The carriage arrived in front of the shop, and everyone got off the car. Zhao Yuru welcomed them in. Before they could say a few words, the academy took a lunch break.
Jiaren held Brother Li's hand, followed by Gou Sheng'er, his steps unusually fast and hurried, and he walked towards the shop with a happy face...
