Tang Songnian walked straight ahead, and while walking, he asked people to invite Ma Zaitou, and when Ma Zatou arrived, he instructed: "You arrange for someone to go to Dongliu Lane, Pingdong County, Lin'an Prefecture, to find a lady He. , Her family's family is in Danyang County, Guangping Prefecture, and her husband's family name is Zeng. This woman is He Shaoting's aunt. You can find out if you can adopt He Shaoting. If there is no accident, she should be He Shaoting's only relative. "
Ma Caotou looked at him in surprise: "How did your lord know that there is such a lady He?"
The child remained silent no matter how others questioned him, and the people in Sun Zhai were even less aware of his origins, and naturally they had no way of knowing.
Tang Songnian smiled slightly: "Shan Ren has his own plan, you can arrange someone to go! Don't tell Mrs. He what happened to He Shaoting, just say that his parents died and only her was the only one left. If she doesn't want to, then Needless to say, just come back directly."
Ma Zhaotou saw him with a mysterious face, full of helplessness, so he had to arrange for the manpower.
"You have to pretend to be an unpredictable old man at a young age, no wonder the little girl called him an old man!" From a distance, Tang Songnian heard Ma Zaotou's muttering, his smile froze, and he touched the end of his nose.
On this day, Mrs. Zhizhou invited the magistrates’ wives from several nearby counties. Mrs. Nguyen went out early in the morning and returned in a carriage just before the lights were turned on.
"Where are Brother Zhou and Baoya?" She asked when she came into the house and saw that Tang Songnian was alone, but she did not see a pair of children.
"Going to their grandmother." Tang Songnian flipped through the scroll lazily, lifted his eyelids, and answered somewhat casually.
Ruan Shi cleaned her face and washed her hands, took the cloth handed by Cuiwen and wiped the water droplets on her hands, and asked casually, "How good are they at home today?"
"Good, very good." Tang Songnian replied.
It's as if she has not seen her in such a dress for a long time. Compared with the usual elegance and sophistication, today's dress looks like a different charm.
"Where did you get the cherries?" Sitting in front of the dresser, Mrs Ruan unbuttoned her hair bun and asked strangely when she saw a small plate of cherries on the round table beside it.
"Uncle De sent most of the basket. Mother and children have eaten it. This is for you. I remember you like to eat this."
Seeing that he still remembered that he liked to eat this, Ruan's heart was sweet when he heard it, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Baoya also eats it? You won't give her the whole thing, right? She is still old. Small, such a small fruit can’t…”
"Don't worry, I didn't give her a single one." Tang Songnian used his fingers to touch the strands of hair that fell down from her cheeks, and answered absentmindedly.
Since the last time her daughter got sick, the wife has been worried about her daughter's condition. After her daughter's recovery, he was busy with business again, and he hadn't had a good time in bed for a long time.
"Baoya actually let you go?" Ruan asked in surprise, unaware that the mind of the person beside him had gone to the horizon.
"It's okay, it's not noisy at all, she really deserves to be our daughter." Tang Songnian gently kneaded her earlobe, his voice hoarse.
Ruan Shi gave him a blushing look, pushed him away angrily, and said shyly, "What are you doing! Let the girls see the joke."
Tang Songnian smiled slightly.
What he likes to see the most is how shy and lovely the lady looks like, and that is the most beautiful scene in the world that teaches him to love it.
Afraid that he might not care about his whim, Mrs Ruan quickly changed the subject: "I heard Mrs. Zhizhou say during the day that the eldest brother's errand is down, and the appointment document from the Ministry of Personnel has also arrived at the prefecture, and he will join the army as the Qingzhou chief."
Tang Songnian played with her hair for a while, frowning unconsciously: "Is this really the case?"
"It should be true, Mrs. Zhizhou is not the kind of person who speaks freely. If she is not 100% sure, she will not say it." Ruan said.
Tang Songnian's face was a little dignified.
How long has it been since the eldest brother started collecting silver taels to today? Even if the prefect of Wu received the silver taels and sent it back to the capital, it would take two months at the earliest to send the appointment letter from the official department to the He'an Prefecture.
There is only one possibility, and that is that this letter of appointment was not sent from the capital at all. It's just that no official in the world dares to fake the official text of the Ministry of Personnel, and the appointment letter must be genuine.
He thought of the rumors that he had heard earlier about the Prince of the East Palace selling his official rank, and his thick brows furrowed even tighter.
Now it seems that I am afraid that this rumor is not groundless!
He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. In the last years of the previous dynasty, officialdom was corrupt and corruption was rampant. Officials at all levels searched everywhere for people's fat and people's ointment. And all this, in the final analysis, is the corruption of officials.
Daqi has not been established for six years, and the crown prince is the crown prince of the country. If he really sets a bad precedent for selling officials and vassals, it will be effective in the future, and Daqi will be in danger!
Seeing his hesitant expression, Ruan Shi asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly."
"It's nothing." Tang Songnian smiled and put aside his worries for the time being.
The next day when Tang Songnian returned from the yamen, he saw that Mrs. Ruan was teasing her daughter. The little girl was very good at the moment. She could say whatever she wanted to say. twice.
As usual, Tang Songnian would be overjoyed. After all, this little girl called her father only a handful of times. Tonight, she called him twice, which was really not easy.
But at this moment, his mind was caught by the gentle Ruan Shi.
Under the candlelight, the woman smiled softly, with curved eyebrows, a pair of almond eyes that seemed to be filled with water vapor, a pretty and small nose, and red lips that were not touched. At this moment, the woman patiently listened to her daughter's childish words, smiling, and her temperament was gentle and amiable.
"I don't know what's going on. Today, Baoya is actually a little snooze. She usually follows Zhou Ge'er Ting'er and the others to walk in the garden." He heard that she was a little worried.
"I think it was too much fun yesterday, but today it's a little too general. It doesn't matter." Tang Songnian didn't care.
Since the last time he recovered from her illness, he saw that the little girl's body became much stronger, and the doctor who gave her the Ping An pulse every month also said the same, so he was not too worried.
Ruan Shi thought about it and thought it made sense, and smiled softly at him.
Tang Songnian felt a little dry mouth, and even his breathing suddenly sped up a bit. It seemed that a hot air rushed to his forehead. He couldn't hold back any longer. He held Ruan's hand and scratched at her palm. He scratched and said in a hoarse voice, "It's late at night, it's time to take a break."
Should you take a break? Ruan Shi was suspicious. Usually at this time... only when she met those deep eyes, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she naturally understood what he was planning.
Xu Yunyao was not a real child, so she could naturally see the charming atmosphere between the couple, but she was waiting for this moment, so when Tang Songnian wanted to call Biwen in to carry her down, she hugged her without saying a word. Tightening Ruan's neck, she said delicately, "No, no, I want my mother, I want my mother."
She hugged her tightly, but Ruan Shi was reluctant to pull her away, so she looked at Tang Songnian at a loss.
Tang Songnian cleared his throat and patiently coaxed his daughter: "Mother is very tired after working all day, so I have to rest early so that I can have energy to play with Baoya tomorrow."
Xu Yunyao pretended not to understand what he said, still hugged Ruan Shi tightly and refused to let go, and rubbed her soft and tender cheeks in attachment.
Ruan's heart softened a little bit by her. Her little girl is rarely so coquettish.
Seeing the stickiness of the mother and daughter, Tang Songnian knew that the wife must have left him again, and looked directly at her with some resentment.
Nguyen smiled apologetically at him.
Tang Songnian was helpless, took the scroll that was set aside, and read it absently, until he saw his daughter's little head in his wife's arms, and his spirit was suddenly shocked.
It's fast, the little girl is finally about to fall asleep.
Ruan Shi lightly hummed an unknown tune, and gently patted her daughter with her right hand, making sure that the little girl had fallen asleep, so she carried her to the ear room.
At the moment when the door was closed, Xu Yunyao, who should have fallen asleep, turned over, his eyes were rolling, and he counted the time silently in his heart.
When Ruan Shizhong returned to the main room and was closing the door, she suddenly swooped in the air, making her almost scream, and angrily beat the man who was holding her on the shoulder: "Scared me to death. already."
Tang Song smiled young and couldn't wait to carry her to the bed.
The curtains dangled slightly and the candlelight danced, which soon added a bit of charm to the night.
Tang Songnian was about to have a taste of what he wanted when a sharp cry came in, making him shiver unprepared.
"It's Baoya, Baoya is crying!" Ruan, who had been kissed so weakly by him that he couldn't tell what was going on today, suddenly returned to his senses and said anxiously.
"There are girls here!" Tang Songnian calmed down and kissed her again, not willing to give up easily.
"No, no, listen, she's crying more and more, it must be, it must be Bi Wen that they can't coax them." Ruan Shi panted lightly to avoid his kiss, and pushed him with her hands.
Tang Songnian knew her temperament, so he gave up a little discouraged, watched her put on her clothes in a hurry, and walked out without looking back.
He stretched out on the bed and sighed.
It is not good for a woman to have a child, and her husband will be placed behind the child.
When the crying in the ear room stopped, and after a while, he saw Nguyen's coming back.
"I don't care, you must make up for me!" He bit the woman's lips and hummed.
Nguyen felt a little guilty, and let him move softly.
Tang Songnian regained his strength and vowed to fulfill his wish to be happy. A sharper and louder cry came, and he shivered again.
After a while, he spread out on the bed by himself again, and continued to sigh while looking at the top of the tent.
Another quarter of an hour later, Nguyen Shi came back with guilt again, [The harmony is indescribable, I don't know how to change after giving up the treatment]
"Mother! Mother! Woah... Mother..." The loud cry came again, this time, he was finally weak, and he spread out on the bed again without love, looking sadly at the back of the lady who hurried away.
You say, what do you do with so many children? Will bully the father as much as possible!
