On the evening of the second day of the first lunar month, in the backyard of Yonghou Mansion, Cheng Qiao walked into the bright and magnificent main hall with little Fusu in his arms. In the hall, Jing Salamander, Xiuniang, Mrs. Hu, Hu Meiren, and Lan Xin immediately stood up and bowed.
Only Cheng Qiao's mother, Mrs. Han, was still sitting in the high hall, looking at Cheng Qiao walking in with a kind face on her charming face.
"Greetings to the Marquis."
Yingying Yanyan's voice sounded, Cheng Qiao nodded in response with a smile, and then hugged little Fusu and introduced them one by one.
Xiao Fusu was very polite and called people one by one. Since Jing Sala and others were not Cheng Qiao's decent wives, they naturally could not be called aunts, so they called Jing Sala and others aunt.
For example, Jing Salamander is Aunt Salamander, Xiu Niang is Aunt Xiu, Mrs. Hu is Aunt Yao, Hu Meiren is Aunt Jun, and Lan Xin is Aunt Lan.
As for Mrs. Han, Fusu was generally called Grandma Han in the palace.
There were only so many people today. Cheng Qiao originally wanted to invite Concubine Yan, Moon God, Nianduan, and Duan Murong to come together, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
After all, the name is not justified, tonight is to make up for last night's Zhengdan Festival, which is similar to the modern Spring Festival. Even if the relationship is relatively close, it is convenient for outsiders who are not family members to be present.
All the girls knew about Fusu's identity, and even if they didn't know it, how could they not welcome such a pink and beautiful young boy with a smile?
With a child enlivening the atmosphere, the festive atmosphere was indeed more intense, and with Mrs. Han sitting in charge, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Don't show any signs?
nonexistent!
Jing salamander and Mrs. Hu both have a quiet temperament, which is why the two women get along better, while Xiu Niang and Lan Xin are conscientious and don't dare to expect too much.
Hu Meiren usually likes to act coquettishly, and likes to use some tricks to seduce Cheng Qiao to maintain her favor. However, this is not to harm others, but to enhance her own core competitiveness.
Therefore, it is harmless. Moreover, Hu Meiren is also a smart woman. She acts in a measured manner and has a clear positioning of herself. She knows what she can and cannot do.
On this occasion, she didn't look as charming and flirtatious as usual at all. Instead, she was very dignified and well-behaved. Even the clothes she wore became conservative. Like her sister, only her neck and a little collarbone were exposed.
After the pleasant dinner, Cheng Qiao started playing mahjong. Cheng Qiao, Xiu Niang, Lan Xin, Hu Meiren and Mrs. Han participated in the battle and fought to the end.
Xiu Niang, Lan Xin, and Hu Meiren are all interested in letting their mother-in-law make her happy, but their actions are very subtle and their techniques are clever, so it is not easy to detect.
Occasionally, I was fed cards a few times, and the cards were also wild, but the cards were basically small, and the cards played to Mrs. Han were all big cards.
Cheng Qiao had no intention of giving in to his mother, nor to his own women. He "disowned all his relatives" at the card table, and with his good luck, he was able to kill everyone.
As for Jing salamander and Mrs. Hu, they are not very interested in mahjong. They would rather take care of Cheng Qiao and tease little Fusu. The two women are very interested in children.
It's normal for Mrs. Hu to like children. After all, she gave birth to Nongyu and experienced what it's like to be a mother. Jingyu seems to have a natural love for children, with a look of longing and expectation in her eyes from time to time.
Cheng Qiao accidentally noticed it while playing cards, and the idea of giving Jingyu a child came up in his heart.
Speaking of which, Jing Salamander is the oldest among the girls. Her body has already fully grown and matured, and it is time to have a child.
The reason why the bellies of the girls in the Hou Mansion were silent was because Cheng Qiao deliberately controlled them.
Cheng Qiao, who has perfect control over herself, can use lightning to inactivate the essence in advance, so that she will naturally not be able to get pregnant.
The reason why he did this was because Cheng Qiao believed that he was not ready to be a father yet.
Seeing the appearance of Jingyu inadvertently revealed today, Cheng Qiao felt that he could not go on like this anymore and was ready to let nature take its course. Anyway, he could afford to raise more children.
If this continues, the girls will feel psychological pressure, and maybe outsiders will think that he is not in good health...
Not only must a man never say he can't do it, but he can't let outsiders say he can't do it either!
Tonight's mahjong ended relatively early. After all, Mrs. Han played all night long last night. Although she caught up on her sleep during the day, when the night got deeper, the strong sleepiness still set in.
After Cheng Qiao put his nephew to sleep, he sneaked into Jing Salamander's room and sent out three waves of vibrant milky-white energy waves...
Having withstood three waves of overwhelming attacks, even with the body and martial arts skills of the Frightened Salamander, he was exhausted and limp. In the early morning when the yin and yang met, and the fish belly turned white in the east, he fell into a deep sleep.
Although the loss was quite heavy, Cheng Qiao was still able to hold on. He hugged the Frightened Salamander and closed his eyes to rest for a while. Then he estimated the time for Fusu to wake up, so he got up and went back.
As expected, Fusu will definitely be looking for him when he wakes up.
Although he stayed up all night and struggled for a long time in the second half of the night, Cheng Qiao was still in high spirits, and his strong body gave him plenty of confidence!
Cheng Qiao took Fusu to have a breakfast and told Fusu how to cherish food. This boy was used to being pampered in the palace and was a bit picky about food.
However, after seeing his uncle finish his breakfast, out of admiration and trust for his uncle, little Fusu gritted his teeth and finished his breakfast, which made his stomach feel full.
Round.
Regarding Fusu's behavior, Cheng Qiao simply praised him and gave him a homemade toy as a reward, and finally took Fusu into the palace.
On the way, Cheng Qiao used his internal energy to help Fusu digest his food. At the same time, he also told Fusu that if he wanted to be like him, he would not be picky about food and would have to eat a variety of foods to do so.
How can a child understand the tricks of adults and believe them to be true, just like when they were children and thought they would "keep the lucky money for you"?
"One Sword Dominates"
However, Fusu really got over his picky eating habits and tried his best to finish his meals without wasting them.
Of course, waste in the palace is inevitable, it's just a matter of how much.
Not picky about food and not wasteful, although it may seem like a small thing, as the eldest son of the Qin State, and even the future prince and emperor of the Qin State, Fusu's words and deeds have great influence, let alone habits.
Since ancient times, people below like to imitate and follow the preferences of those in power.
If there is evil from above, it will be punished by the people below. If there is good from above, it will be implemented by the people below.
Since he estimated that he would have to leave Xianyang for a while soon, Cheng Qiao got tough and locked himself in the study outside to deal with the affairs when he returned home, finishing them all at once.
After that, he called his subordinates over, assessed their KPIs, and then arranged his rights and responsibilities after leaving Xianyang, and finally... let himself go.
He made an appointment with Concubine Yan to go on a trip alone and went to the Huanyu Academy to see Duan Murong. Nian Duan made an appointment with the Moon God to go on a trip alone another day. He took his own woman to play in the mansion and took his own woman out to play. It was a great time.
Nine days later, Cheng Qiao received a message saying that Han Fei was almost ready to enter South Korea.
Early the next morning, Cheng Qiao secretly left Xianyang with his people and headed for Xinzheng, South Korea.
Since there was no need to show off, and the people he led were also elites in the trap, and with good military horses for transportation, the speed was much faster than last time.
After leaving Qin's border, he gave up his horses and used Qinggong instead. Five days later in the evening, he arrived at the outskirts of Xinzheng City, South Korea...
