Seeing Chu Nanzhi holding a bowl of steaming soup in his hand, Lin Jinxiao quickly stood up and came over to greet him. Smelling the fragrant smell, he couldn't help but asked happily: "Is it for me?"
Without waiting for Chu Nanzhi to reply, the little treasures cheered and replied: "Dad, grandma said you haven't been able to sleep lately, so I made a soothing soup specially for you."
"Drink quickly."
Chu Nanzhi handed the soup into his hand and casually looked at the papers on the desk without asking about Ji Wanying's affairs.
Lin Jinxiao looked at the brightly colored ginseng and chicken in the soup, especially the most eye-catching layer of wolfberry floating above, and couldn't help but be startled, and secretly complained: This is not soothing, it is clearly a tonic.
I don’t know what she means by this?
My husband is only twenty-four this year, so he wants to drink wolfberry to replenish his health?
He glanced at Chu Nanzhi thoughtfully, thinking about the days and nights spent reviewing documents and processing official documents, so he had no choice but to drink the soup in silence.
This familiar smell reminded him of the days when he was recuperating in Anlin Village.
Until she finished the soup, she didn't ask about the little princess. Lin Jinxiao didn't bother to mention his cousin anymore, just thinking that she went crazy and broke into the palace today.
Thinking that she would leave for Tanzhou in two days, Lin Jinxiao was filled with reluctance, but since he had agreed to her request, he could not regret it.
"It's rare that the official business is almost done so early today. I asked the imperial kitchen to cook a few more delicious dishes. Our family will have dinner at the Yangxin Hall tonight."
Lin Jinxiao had a surprise that he wanted to give her, so he immediately told Hai Da'a to go to the imperial kitchen and order more dishes.
Since returning to Jinling City, the family has rarely gathered together as neatly as today. Although Chu Nanzhi was still thinking about Rui Ji and Rui Si in the house, she still agreed.
"Dad, Sister Sangqi said that Aniang will accompany her on her journey to the west in a few days. Can we accompany Aniang to send Sister Sangqi back to the tribe this time?"
Sanbaolin Ruichong asked impatiently.
"Can't."
Not allowing Lin Jinxiao to respond, Chu Nanzhi directly rejected the little treasures' request: "Last year you spent the Chinese New Year with me in Beijing, and this year you will naturally accompany your father and great-grandmother in Beijing."
Going to Tanzhou this time is somewhat risky. She might have a way to escape by using herself as a bait to lure the murderer, but she would naturally be worried about taking the little treasures with her.
But the little ones were immediately unhappy when they heard it.
Sibaolin Ruijia guessed that her mother's trip to the west would not be as simple as escorting Sister Sangqi back to the tribe, so she worriedly said: "But grandma, we don't want you to leave the palace alone."
"How could my mother leave the palace alone?"
Chu Nanzhi explained: "You and your uncles from the Li family will go together. Your second aunt is getting married soon. My mother is not in the capital. You guys have to stay in the capital to see her off for your mother and take good care of Rui Ji."
, Reith.”
"Well, your Uncle Nie Duo has also returned to Beijing in the past few days. I have sent someone to pick up your Grandpa Nie and Grandma Cui's family to Beijing. It will only be a matter of these two days."
Lin Jinxiao knew clearly that she could not let the little treasures follow her to Tanzhou this time, so she also gently advised: "You have been idle in the palace for a long time these days. When Grandpa Nie comes to Beijing, he will go with your brother Yunqing and Mu
Resign my brother and go to class with Grandpa Nie."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi went on to say: "Your third uncle will go out to the capital for business after the Chinese New Year. My mother will only be able to return after leaving the palace in a month or two, but your uncle, I'm afraid it will take another year and a half."
Only then can I see him.”
In this way, the couple finally calmed down the quadruplets with words.
The little ones have grown up a lot now, and they are not as clinging to their mother as they used to be. They all warned, "Mom, you must come back early."
"Well, my mother sent your sister Sangqi back to the tribe and rushed back to accompany you immediately."
After Chu Nanzhi coaxed the little treasures, but he was afraid that if Lin Jinxiao didn't go his way in Beijing, he would kill the senior ministers, so he said in a deep voice: "When you went north, your Majesty made an agreement with the people of the world."
"Stop committing murderous crimes."
Before she could finish her words, Lin Jinxiao interrupted: "My husband is not a violent and unruly person. As long as nothing happens to you, everyone can live in peace."
Seeing that the imperial dining room had already begun to serve dishes, he stopped talking, pulled Chu Nanzhi to sit in the warm pavilion, and asked the little treasures to sit down one by one. Today, he just wanted to sit down with his wife and children for a reunion meal in peace of mind.
meal.
He has been separated from her for the past two years and cannot even be reunited for the New Year, which has always been a big regret in his heart.
Let’s celebrate the New Year early as a family today.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the dishes on the table, which were all different from what the imperial kitchen usually cooked.
She looked over carefully and saw that there were mutton and scallion pancakes, braised pork elbows, grilled fish, and fragrant mutton soup, as well as a stack of pancakes that looked very familiar. She took one and took a bite, and the greedy taste made her immediately
I remember it was Haikang County’s specialty magnolia cake.
Scenes from the past suddenly came to mind.
She remembered that in Haikang County, in order to make herself feel at ease when eating, the white-faced boy deliberately hired a new cook, and these were the dishes he cooked for the first time.
They are all my favorite foods.
"I always remember that you loved these delicacies the most when you were in Haikang County. Now that you are a queen, you can't always cook by yourself. The imperial chefs in the palace are not to your taste. A while ago, I transferred You'an and Peng Pai to the capital.
So I asked Youan to bring the cook from Haikang County to the capital."
Lin Jinxiao said softly while picking up food for mother and son: "I'm just in time. When you go to Tanzhou this time, let Du Qian be responsible for your meals."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the freshly cooked venison in front of him and said with a smile: "There is also Laifu. I asked someone to take him to Beijing. I originally wanted to keep him by my side to find out the news for me, but this time
Ask him to go to Tanzhou with you first, he has a sharp temper, you may be able to use him."
When they heard that Ma Laifu had entered Beijing, the little treasures were all excited and dancing, and they all complained: "Dad, Uncle Laifu has entered Beijing, why don't you let him enter the palace to accompany us?"
"He just arrived yesterday and hasn't settled in yet. He can accompany you when he comes back from Tanzhou with your mother. He has marinated a lot of newly hunted venison for you. You can eat more."
Lin Jinxiao replied casually.
After all, the palace is no different than anywhere else. Even the closest people entering the palace must follow the procedures.
He couldn't bring this kid into the palace and stay with his mother and son all day long.
As for Lin Jinxiao's arrangement, Chu Nanzhi couldn't laugh or cry.
Every time he travels, he acts like an old lady, arranging everything from bodyguards, nannies and even accompanying people to every detail. I don’t know what to say about him.
However, she liked Laifu from the bottom of her heart when she went to Tanzhou with him.
This guy was a living map when he was in Haikang County, and he was also good at collecting intelligence. Although he was a gangster, he was deeply liked by the small officials, and he really came in handy.
From the arrangements made by the pretty boy, Chu Nanzhi could also see that he was still wary of the Ji family. Although he felt that having Ji Rongheng with him was already a sure thing, since he was wary, this time he just took the opportunity to test Ji Rongheng.
, to prove that there is no difference in how you see people.
