Chapter 468 Extra 1
In winter, the sky and the earth are covered with white snow, making people feel as if they are in a world of ice and snow.
Zheng Ci, wearing a dark blue cloak, stood side by side with Pei Ji, who was wearing a black cloak, and looked at everything in the distance.
The girl and boy behind him stand side by side, forming a unique landscape.
Wanxiang stepped forward and handed the hand warmer in her hand to Zheng Ci. She was a little anxious and panted, "Madam, put it on to avoid being cold."
Zheng Ci looked back at her and smiled gently, "Okay. You always care more about my health than your own."
Ever since she had a serious illness last year, Wanxiang's health has not been as good as before. She has recovered after taking good care of herself.
Wanxiang: "As long as my madam is well, I will be at ease."
Zheng Ci reached out and held her hand, "Yes, we will be together for the rest of our lives."
Wanxiang smiled, "Yeah."
She fulfilled her original promise and stayed with Zheng Ci for the rest of her life without getting married.
Tian'er was holding a child in each hand, following a group of people not far behind. The ground was slippery and difficult to walk on due to the snow. The two children's faces were red from the cold, but they could not hide the smiles on their innocent and tender faces.
"Finally, we have a chance to come out and play. Look how happy these two kids are."
Alin protected the three of them from behind, with a smile in his eyes.
He had been promoted, and Tian'er had been granted the title of Yi Ren last year, making her a legitimate official wife. They had also bought a larger house and hired several servants, and their life was quite harmonious. They were the envy of everyone in the mansion.
Even though they are getting older and Tian'er is no longer as tall as before because of having children, Alin still looks at Tian'er with the same affectionate eyes every year.
There were not many things to do at home, so she still worked in the Pei family, doing light work for the housekeeper, and the relationship between the two families was very close.
"Brother Pei, Brother Pei! You said you would teach me how to ride a horse. Can I ride a horse this time?"
The boy from Tian'er's family, now seven years old, tugged at Pei Ji's sleeve, muttered softly, his face full of anticipation.
Pei Ji turned around and touched his head, "Ye Yun, I'll take you horseback riding later, okay?"
Alin's surname is Ye, and his real name is Ye Lin.
Ye Yun smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the girl beside him, "Where's Sister Luan? Do you want to join us? My mother said that Sister Luan's horse riding is just as good as Brother Pei Jue's."
Jing Luan smiled and said openly, "Your brother Pei Jue also taught me how to ride a horse."
During the time she lived in the Pei family, Jingluan became more and more beautiful and bright.
Ye Yun tilted his head and said in a baby voice, "So, Brother Pei Jue is my master, and Sister Jing Luan, you are considered my senior sister."
Everyone was amused by his childish words, and a pair of chubby white hands grabbed Ye Yun's ears.
"It hurts, it hurts, sister, I'm wrong, please stop pulling my ears, they're going to fall off."
Ye Shan glared at her brother, then turned and said, "Brother Pei, Sister Jing, my brother is a fool, don't bother with him."
Ye Yun, who was rubbing his ears, said, "I'm not a fool!......"
Zheng Ci and Pei Ji in the front smiled at each other, "It seems that this decision to go out and play is a good one. Everyone is very happy."
Pei Ji bent down to adjust the ties of her cloak, and said gently, "Father, mother, brother and sister-in-law are still behind. Let's go ahead and meet them at the farm ahead."
"good."
night.
There was constant laughter and joy in the Pei family's hot spring village. The laughter could be heard from far away, and the tenants and the head of the village also sat together to eat.
"The master is in a good mood today and asked us to take a break and have a meal together." The head of the village drank a glass of wine, his face full of anticipation for the future.
The people around echoed, "The Madam and Master of the Pei family are both good people."
"That's not true. Other farms pay 40% of their grain tax every year, but here we only need to pay 20%. The master is a good man, so don't slack off on your work." The head of the farm drank a glass of wine and said so.
The tenants were showing off their meat like crazy, their chopsticks were almost leaving afterimages. They were talking but their hands were moving non-stop.
The bowl was filled with large chunks of meat, something you rarely see on a normal day. Some ordinary people only eat meat a few times a year, so when they get the chance, they naturally think they'll be missing out if they don't eat enough.
After dinner, the whole family, having had enough food and wine, sat around the campfire in the village and talked about the past.
Zheng Huai is now the head of the Zhengguo Mansion. Five years ago, when Mr. Zheng retired, he inherited the title.
Zheng Huai performed well in the Imperial Academy, rising through the ranks to become a Grand Secretary and earning respect from the court. He possessed genuine talent, not one seeking fame, and had resolved several difficult issues.
Even those who are good at talking and difficult to deal with always have a sense of admiration for him.
At this moment, Zheng Huai smiled like an ordinary elder. There were already shallow wrinkles around his eyes, and his features looked gentle, with a bit more tenderness after the baptism of time. There was no trace of the firm and decisive look he had in the court.
Qiao Xianglan looked at the whole family with a gentle smile. All those here were her close family and friends, and she felt extremely happy and satisfied.
Qiao Yu was holding her son. The child was not very old. He had played all the way here and was already exhausted. He was sleeping peacefully in her arms.
Qiao Xianglan asked the wet nurse to carry him in, but Qiao Yu was still a little reluctant.
"You're here to relax, and you're watching the kids all day."
Qiao Yu knew that his mother-in-law was right, so he nodded and raised his glass to drink.
It was fruit wine, not very strong, and tasted sweet. Her face soon turned red.
"You can't drink much, so drink less." Zheng Lan turned around and gently advised.
Qiao Yu gave him a reproachful look and said, "You're still blaming me. You've had a few drinks today, too."
He raised the wine glass in his hand, and Qiao Yu saw that there was a thin layer of liquid at the bottom of the glass.
"I won't let myself get drunk."
Ever since the previous incident, Zheng Lan set a rule for himself that he could only drink three glasses of alcohol, strictly controlling his alcohol intake to prevent himself from getting drunk.
Qiao Yu chuckled, "After all this time, you can still only drink three cups."
Zheng Lan was teased by his wife and laughed along. The couple had a tacit understanding that others did not have.
This place is far away from Beijing. At night, the sky is sparse with stars, and the dark sky is dotted with stars.
Pei Ji raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "See? The brightest one is the North Star."
Zheng Ci raised her eyes, "That one is the brightest."
"You are the most beautiful." Suddenly, a gentle voice came close to my ear and whispered.
Even in such cold weather, she could hardly control her blushing. She looked around and found that everyone was chatting and not paying any attention to her. Then she reached out and pushed him slightly, "Sauce."
Pei Ji's eyes shone, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm speaking from the heart."
