After the meal, Chu Nanzhi took Sang Qi to the treasury to count the gifts sent by the guests yesterday, while Lin Jinxiao stayed in the living room to talk with Chu Wenbi and the two mistresses.
When they arrived at the warehouse, Chu Nanzhi was checking various gifts according to the gift list. Sang Qi was thinking about the portrait Sang Kun made yesterday, and hesitantly reported to her: "Master, the people in the portrait painted by my brother are the slaves.
I feel like I've seen him somewhere before when I was in Jinling City, but I can't remember exactly where it was."
"Don't worry, just think about it slowly. If you remember it one day, it won't be too late to tell me."
Chu Nanzhi secretly cried out bitterly in her heart. What this girl said was as if she had not said it yet.
In fact, she had already had a premonition that this group of people from Beijing was responsible for this matter.
Moreover, the operation of the person behind this may seem stupid, but in fact it is extremely clever.
They only ordered people to intercept and kill the imperial envoy who delivered the edict of marriage, but did not rob the edict of commendation. This is completely puzzling.
Because of this, she did not have any reasonable logic to suspect that it was the two imperial uncles who did it.
There is not much benefit in plundering the imperial edict. It just seems like venting personal anger.
If the assassins hadn't recognized the messenger, Chu Nanzhi could have almost concluded that the Qi family's young men did the ridiculous thing because they were jealous of him.
But through the identification of Lin Jinhong and Sang Qi, she had to point her suspicions at these noble people in Beijing.
But what she couldn't figure out was that whether it was Concubine Yue or the two imperial uncles, they should be targeting Lin Jinxiao directly, but why they were targeting themselves.
Just talking about what happened yesterday, if there is really no reason to find out, Lin Jinxiao would cruelly put all the blame on himself, and their plan would naturally come to nothing, and his vitality would not be harmed at all.
At this moment, she was completely confused about the intentions of the person behind the scenes.
The more she thought about it, the more headache she got. After taking inventory of the items in the treasury, she ordered Sang Qi to lock the door and went straight back to the living room.
The little treasures had all finished school and came out of the school. When they saw Chu Nanzhi's figure, they all rushed over happily and threw themselves into her arms: "Auntie, are we going to the palace today?"
"yes."
Chu Nanzhi bent down and stroked the little ones' cheeks one by one affectionately.
"Auntie, can we move into the palace today and we won't have to go back to our old house in the future?"
As soon as Erbaolin Ruixi came out, she heard her grandma talk about going to the palace and asked impatiently.
"If that doesn't work, you have to wait until the first day of next month before your father holds the sealing ceremony before you can move in."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Shen Yunqing while replying, and warned in a gentle voice: "Yunqing, you will stay at home these days, and then go home after your teacher's canonization ceremony."
"yes."
Shen Yunqing bowed respectfully.
Erbao Lin Ruixi giggled as she listened.
This way I can spend some more time with Brother Yunqing.
Sibaolin Ruijia also pulled Xiao Muci over and asked, "Aniang, after we move to the palace, will Muci's brother still live with us?"
"If you like it, let my brother Mu Ci study with you every day from now on."
Chu Nanzhi happily grabbed Xiao Sibao, who held Xiao Muci tightly in Sibao's hand. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, Chu Muci sat down on the ground and began to cry loudly: "I
Don’t study, I don’t want to study, I want to go home and sit on the toilet with my father.”
"What toilet."
Chu Nanzhi carefully looked around, until she didn't find Chang Lao's figure, she felt a lot more relaxed. She quickly hugged Xiao Muci and coaxed in a low voice: "If you don't study hard with your cousins,
, your father and mother will definitely not like you in the future."
It was not easy for the two elders to take Xiao Muci into the book school together. The little boy actually cried and didn't want to go to school. If the news reached the ears of Chang Lao, he would be kicked out immediately.
Chu Muci still curled his lips unhappily and said, "But my father doesn't study either. My mother-in-law still likes my father very much and kisses my father every day."
"That's because your mother-in-law is stupid."
Chu Nanzhi slapped him angrily: "Anyway, if you don't listen to my aunt, I will leave you alone in the village from now on."
"Then I won't cry."
Chu Muci quickly wiped his eyes, and put his little face against Chu Nanzhi's neck, his clear little phoenix eyes blinking non-stop: "Then I stay at home to study, can the fourth sister do it every day from now on?"
Sleep with me?"
"Okay, let your fourth sister accompany you every day from now on."
Chu Nanzhi was amused by the little boy's words. He and Sanbao were really matched up. One was clinging to his mother all day long, and the other was clinging to his sister all day long.
Fortunately, he stopped crying and looked up just in time to see Lin Jinxiao and Chang Lao. Mr. Nie walked in and immediately put Chu Mu Ci down.
Lin Jinxiao stepped forward, straightened the wrinkled clothes on her shoulders, and said with a gentle smile: "The carriage is ready, let's set off."
After saying that, he lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Dabaolin Ruiwen, and ordered: "Ruiwen, take your brother Yunqing to Grandpa Chang's carriage."
Nie Huaian waved to Sanbaolin Ruichong with full eyes: "Ruichong, you and Mu Ci are riding in Grandpa Nie's carriage."
Chu Nanzhi was worried that Chu Muci would be disobedient, so she immediately warned him: "Muci, you must listen to Grandpa Nie and don't mess around."
When Chu Muci saw his third brother approaching Nie Huaian, he followed him obediently.
Staring at the second and fourth treasures left behind, Chu Nanzhi smiled bitterly and said, "You two just follow mother and father."
She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but from the arrangement of the carriage, she seemed to feel that the two elders were biased in their treatment of their disciples.
Both Dabao and Shen Yunqing were the top students in elementary school and were very talented. Naturally, they were easily valued by top scholars like Chang Lao.
Although Mr. Nie was able to accommodate others, he still only chose two boys, Sanbao and Xiaomuci, to accompany him.
Even the great scholars of the time like Chang Lao and Nie Lao find it difficult to be well-educated and non-discriminatory. It seems that the daughter's family these days is really hard to catch people's attention if they don't have any real skills.
He supported Lin Jinxiao and led Erbao and Sibao into their own carriage. Sang Qi drove the carriage and followed closely behind the driver.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the two little guys with indifferent expressions, and said earnestly: "Second treasure, fourth treasure, although you are girls, you should work harder in the school on weekdays, and don't fall behind the arrangements of the two grandfathers.
coursework.”
If it were placed in the daughter's house in an ordinary person's house, a year and a half of teaching would have been enough for a great Confucian like Mr. Nie, but for Chu Nanzhi, this was far from enough.
She hopes that these children, whether they are boys or girls, will have the right to choose the life they want in the future.
The two little guys didn't think too much and both replied obediently: "Mom, we all study seriously in the school. We have completed the homework assigned by Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie every day."
"That's good."
Chu Nanzhi touched the heads of the two little guys with great satisfaction.
Every time he saw her caring so much about the little treasures, Lin Jinxiao felt indescribably happy, and he also echoed: "When you move into the palace, you will be the little princesses. You can't act as willfully as you did in the village before.
You must listen to your mother in everything."
After a pause, he added with a slight twinkle in his eyes: "Don't rely solely on the words of the old ladies and maids around you. You must remember that your mother is the only one in this world who truly loves you."
The two little guys guessed the deep meaning of their father's words. Most of the servants in the palace were sent from the palace. They had never had a good impression of these people, so they nodded in agreement.
Although Chu Nanzhi was very touched by these words, the delicate thoughts of the pretty boy were really frightening. He was so cautious even before he moved into the palace.
But when she thought about picking weeds and lotus, she couldn't help but feel a little wary.
