Chapter 32 Happy Events

Feng's body trembled violently.

What?

A letter from the third brother!

She grabbed Jiang Fengnian's arm: "Is it really from Fengze? Come on, open it and have a look!"

The words "Frontier Guards" were written on the envelope. Jiang Fengnian was very surprised. Why would the letter from the third brother be sent from the army?

His hands couldn't stop shaking, for fear that the letter was wrong and they were disappointed.

After opening the letter, Jiang Fengnian nervously scanned it quickly, and finally tears welled up in his eyes, and he almost cried out.

"It's really from the third brother, mother. The third brother asked someone to write it for him. He is still alive. He said he is in the Guards of King Qingnan outside the Great Wall!"

Feng's face almost turned pale with joy.

Her voice was trembling: "What else is written on it? Read it to me quickly."

Jiang Fengnian wiped his eyes and quickly read out everything written in the letter.

Only then did she know that when Jiang Fengze was captured, the officers and soldiers saw that he was born with an extraordinary bearing, so they did not let him do hard labor, but sent him to the frontier as a soldier.

"The letter said that in the past two years, there have been frequent raids by small countries outside the Great Wall. My third brother has fought many battles with the army. Although he sometimes encountered fierce battles, he managed to survive."

Knowing that her son had at least saved his life, Feng clenched her fists tightly, and her nails dug into her flesh!

"Mother, my third brother also said that those who came with him and could endure for a year or two would have already held an official position in the army. But he is always unlucky than others for some reason. Whenever there is a reward based on merit, he is left behind for various reasons."

Feng's face was already covered with tears at this moment, and her tears floated into the wind.

She choked up and said, "I don't care whether it's a reward or not, I don't care, I just want your brother to be alive

." Jiang Fengnian nodded vigorously, his snot almost dripping down his mouth: "Yeah, mother is right, as long as he is still alive, it's enough, but I don't know when my third brother can come back to reunite with us ."

"Wait, this last letter was also sent three months ago. Now that we have your sister, everything will go smoothly. He will come back safely sooner or later." When Feng thought of her daughter, she felt confident and stopped crying. How could

their Jiang family

be so worthy of such a precious child like Nuobao!

After reading the letter several times, Feng and her mother were willing to put it away.

They wiped away their tears quickly, and their worries disappeared. They felt refreshed.

"Big brother, write a letter quickly and tell your third brother that we have received the letter."

"By the way, don't forget to tell him that there is a younger sister at home. Among you brothers, he is the one who is the most demanding for a younger sister." Feng couldn't help laughing again, and she was eager to let Fengze know about the young lady as soon as possible.

Jiang Fengnian nodded with a silly smile: "Hehe, then I have to cherish my younger sister when I go back, otherwise when my third brother comes back, I will not have a share in my sister's presence."

...

Since the news of Fengze came, the depression that weighed on the Jiang family's heart has completely disappeared, and the whole family is beaming with joy.

They are just looking forward to the reunion that is just around the corner.

Feng was very happy. She slaughtered chickens and geese for three consecutive days to celebrate. She had to cook at least six or seven dishes every day for the whole family to enjoy.

Fengnian and Fenghu also worked very hard in the mountains.

They got a lot of rewards every time, and then took turns driving the donkey cart to sell the things they got from the mountain to the city.

Every three to five days, they could get five or six taels of silver into the account. They were almost making a lot of money.

Since the brothers could touch the silver, they did not forget to show their courtesy to their sister.

Jiang Feng spent two hundred coins just before the New Year to buy taro cakes, walnut cakes, and half a catty of pine nut milk cakes for Xiao Nuobao at the cake shop.

Seeing Nuobao eating so deliciously and looking for his elder brother to hug him, Jiang Fenghu was afraid that he would lose his position in his sister's heart, so he also spent a full one or two taels of silver in the city.

When he came back, he was carrying large and small bags in his hands, and he put them on the kang, all for little Nuobao.

A small rattle, two bags of sweet candy, a pair of small tiger-head shoes bought from a ready-made shop, half a can of knife candy, and a small jade hairpin carved with butterflies and flying flowers.

Little Nuobao was so happy that he rolled on the kang excitedly.

Seeing that Jiang Fenghu was a fierce person and a fierce spender, Feng was about to scold him.

But when she turned around, she saw that they were all bought for the concubine, and Feng's face suddenly became happy. As long as she bought things for Nuobao, no matter how much, it would not be too expensive!

Although Xiao Nuobao's hair was not big enough to be tied into a bun or a hairpin,

the little girl's love of beauty kept her holding the jade hairpin and stroking it on her head from time to time.

At this time, Jiang Fenghu took out a few rolls of mulberry silk thread from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Qiqiao's arms.

"Wife, I also bought some for you. This thread is expensive. Just eight colors cost a hundred coins." Jiang Fenghu smiled with narrowed eyes.

Li Qiqiao was the best at women's work and liked to sew and mend embroidery. She was happy in her heart, but she couldn't help but say angrily: "Why buy such good silk thread? It's so expensive."

"Who made my wife's hand dexterous? You have to use expensive things to match your craftsmanship." Jiang Fenghu smiled and told the truth.

Xiao Nuobao was holding

a hairpin. Her face was stuffed with dog food.

Seeing Jiang Fenghu was about to pout his untidy beard and get close to Li Qiqiao's little face, Xiao Nuobao quickly covered her eyes.

Second brother is too handsome.

It's that beard, can you shave it...

The weather was getting colder. In the afternoon, the north wind blew outside the window, making the window paper rustle.

Jiang Fenghu was afraid that the women at home would be frozen, so he kept adding firewood to the stove and heated the kang.

Xiao Nuobao lay on the thick mattress, and she felt like there was a pancake under her body, and she was so hot that she bared her little white teeth. She could only hold the small mattress and change her lying position.

Seeing the young lady dragging her mattress from the head of the kang to the end of the kang, as if she was fleeing from famine, Feng couldn't help laughing, and hurried downstairs to tell Jiang Fenghu.

"Don't add more firewood, second brother, or your sister will run away."

Li Qiqiao joked that he was a tiger, and took out the newly bought silk thread and began to sew embroidery.

In just half an hour, Li Qiqiao had embroidered half of a mandarin duck. Her fingers shuttled back and forth like turning flowers, and with just three or two strokes, she made the mandarin duck look lifelike, almost alive.

Xiao Nuobao only took one look and then his eyes widened. He was immediately attracted by

the embroidery and was fascinated. Sun Chunxue came over and sighed with envy: "Sister-in-law is good at sewing. Unlike me, I have rough hands and feet. I can only do farm work."

Li Qiqiao shook her head and smiled: "It's just embroidery for fun to kill time. No matter how clever you are, it can't buy food."

Speaking of eating, Xiao Nuobao subconsciously looked up at Sister Xiang.

She was delighted and suddenly found that the second sister-in-law had a blush on her face. It seems that she has a chance to make a fortune recently!

Looking at the exquisite embroidery again, Xiao Nuobao eagerly grabbed Li Qiqiao's hand!

"Second sister-in-law, who says that being dexterous can't make a living? If you take these out to sell, I guarantee you'll make a fortune!" Xiao Nuobao patted his chest and drooled like a money-grubber.
