Because Concubine De was ill, Jinxi did not leave the palace. He only asked Yinzhen to send a message to Fei Yanggu, who was going to court together, saying that he would wait until Concubine De recovered from her illness before returning to her parents' home to visit. Fei Yanggu sent Yinzhen to
The original oral message sent by Zhen was given to Min Rong. At the end, he muttered something like: The water thrown by the married daughter is really more important than the husband's family... and so on.
Minrong didn't care much after hearing this. He sent someone to deliver the message as early as the day her daughter came back. Since she had come back safe and sound, it was almost the same as seeing her sooner or later. She just saw Fei Yanggu.
The expression on his face when he conveyed these words was sour and jealous, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Master! Isn't it the right thing for a daughter to serve her parents-in-law? Is it possible that when Qi Ke and Qi Chen get married, wouldn't you be happy to see your wives take good care of you and care for you? Oh, could it be that you just like the wife of Zhao Yuan next door?
Is your daughter-in-law like that, who runs to her parents' house when she has nothing to do? Why doesn't she care about her mother-in-law even though she is ill in bed?" Minrong asked in a soft voice.
Fei Yanggu's face suddenly turned red and he couldn't help snorting: "Aren't you worried that you are thinking about your daughter? Why are you talking about so many unimportant things?"
Min Rong felt funny in her heart, but she also knew that her father really missed her daughter, so she stopped teasing him and changed the subject: "When my daughter comes, you two should have a good talk and settle the matter about Qi Chen.
Well, Qi Chen has a hot temper in the wilderness outside. If something happens..."
"If my son encounters such a small setback and becomes decadent and depressed all day long, how can he talk about achieving great things? Since he took the initiative to ask Ying to fight, he should make some achievements for me before coming back!"
When it comes to raising children, Fei Yanggu agrees very much with the rules of the Zhao family next door: "sons are raised cheaply" and "daughters are raised pampered". He does not treat Qi Ke and Qi Chen in any special way just because he is the heir of his late ex-wife.
The concubine Qi Ling, who is under ten years old, and the legitimate son Qi Ling are the same. They never protect or condone others. As long as they determine their own way forward, they will follow their hearts and fight for it. He will never interfere, but there is one thing.
.Once you start, don’t just stop.
For example, this time, Qi Chen volunteered to go to the battlefield. How could it be such a childish thing as Min Rong said, go when you want and come back when you want? So. The old saying goes, "A loving mother often loses her son." This is not true at all. Fei Yanggu
Although I didn't dare to say it directly in front of Minrong, I just sighed like this in my heart.
Fortunately, the four men in the family all have the fighting blood of the Ulanala family in their hearts, and they all behave like men at critical moments.
As for the two daughters, there is no need to worry about the legitimate daughter Jinxi. The fourth elder brother cares about her as much as he and Minrong do.
It's just that the concubine Jinrou... ever since she met her biological mother Shen Liqiu on the street and spent half a day shopping together, she seemed to be a different person when she came back. She wanted to run out all the time, and sometimes she even deliberately drove away the maid.
Meeting with Shen Liqiu.
If Shen Liqiu met Jinrou just because she missed her daughter, and met Jinrou to drink tea or go shopping, I believe Fei Yanggu would have turned a blind eye and let the two of them go about their business.
However, in fact, according to reports from Jinrou's personal maid, Shen Liqiu actually wanted to find a husband for Jinrou.
God, how old is Jin Rou? She is only nine years old, and Shen Liqiu has already taken her around to look at rich children. When Fei Yanggu knew about this, all the rich boys in the capital had some wealth.
It was all under Shen Liqiu's deliberate arrangement that she met Jin Rou.
For this reason, Fei Yanggu got very angry in front of the whole family. Chao Jinrou scolded her and gave her a grounding order.
, she was not allowed to leave the house without permission. In addition, she also asked Aunt Xing to find a nanny who was equally strict in upbringing and strengthen the discipline of Jin Rou. She was not married yet, so she followed her shamelessly.
The man ran away. Fei Yanggu couldn't afford to lose this face.
Jinrou's incident happened during the three months when Jinxi went south. At this time, Jinxi didn't even know about it.
Due to Concubine De's cold and cough, she had to go to Yonghe Palace every morning to take care of Concubine De's daily life. She took soups and pills, and breakfast and lunch consisted of light porridge and side dishes made by Jin Xi according to the imperial doctor's instructions.
The concubine had a lunch break, so she had some free time, nestled in the kitchen of Yonghe Palace, and made some fresh snacks learned from Jiangnan. After they were baked, she picked some of different flavors and put them in a food box while they were hot for Jiangrui and Xi.
The bamboos were sent to each palace respectively for the Queen Mother, Concubine Yi and other other masters and ladies to taste.
Finally, dinner had to be prepared for Concubine De. Fortunately, the imperial doctor suggested that Concubine De drink more soup and porridge, which relieved Jinxi's burden a lot.
When Concubine De wakes up, she waits for her to finish the soup, and after tasting the hot snacks, she heats the porridge in a pot, and instructs the maids not to forget to serve Concubine De when they arrive. Then she leaves and goes back to Nansuo to prepare for Yinzhen and Concubine.
Your own dinner.
Because Yinzhen was busy supervising the construction of the Xiangshan Palace and providing water control drafts for the Yellow River waters during these days, he often missed lunch time. He also forgot where the insulated food box Jinxi prepared for him.
, so I had to swallow some cakes with tea.
After Jinxi found out, he complained, but he put more and more thought into the dinner, so that his growing body could ensure a balanced daily nutrition. Anyway, after dinner, Yinzhen had to stay in the study and be busy until the end of the day.
Don't be afraid of giving him a belly.
"My mother said that she is much better and I don't need to go there tomorrow. I'm thinking about going back to my parents' house tomorrow. It's already the eighth day of May. My eldest brother is going to marry his sister-in-law on the ninth day of next month. I don't know.
How are the preparations for E Niang? I originally said that I would help her, but now it's better, I haven't even sent the congratulatory gifts yet."
After dinner that day, Yinzhen burned the lamp in front of his desk as usual and worked hard on his official duties, while Jinxi leaned on the soft couch and flipped through the account books in the warehouse, thinking about what to give to Qi Ke.
"Tomorrow, after my father has gone to court, I will accompany you. There is no need to hurry about the gift. We have discussed it with your mother, and there will be no time to decide. Anyway, I am here." Yinzhen tilted his head and signaled her not to worry.
These trivial matters, "On your part, you have been up early and in the dark these past few days, so go to bed early today. Otherwise, you will have dark circles under your eyes tomorrow. By then, your father-in-law and mother-in-law will think that I am bullying you."
Jinxi chuckled lightly, it was rare to hear him use the term "father-in-law and mother-in-law", and she was really not used to it.
In this abominable feudal society, princes, emperors and grandsons do not need to address their sons and daughters as "father-in-law and mother-in-law".
Fortunately, Yinzhen, like himself, still has the influence of modern civilization in his bones. He would occasionally say a few modern words. If Kangxi and other princes and grandsons heard it, they would definitely be shocked. However, listen to this
To her ears, it just sounded good.
"Oh, by the way, today Xiao Yu sent an invitation to Xiteng Teahouse. He said that on the first day of the next month, he would host a banquet at Fangshan Flower Villa, so that we both must enjoy it." Yinzhen just turned around and gave a memorial.
I rushed to write a few words, but suddenly I remembered this matter.
"Huh? Fangshan Hua Villa? So he has moved in? This guy moves very quickly!" Jinxi patted the account book with a smile, "Well, since we are celebrating the completion of the new house, we should celebrate it anyway.
Bar."
The hills and wasteland a little far away from the royal palace in Fangshan were almost covered by Yinzhen and Xiao Yu. Before their wedding last year, Yinzhen built a unique Baihua villa on Xiaomeipo in Fangshan, and Xiao Yu went to
After visiting it, I was filled with envy. Immediately, I sent people to build a very similar flower villa in Xiaofengshan next door. No, it was built and moved in in less than a year.
"Then again, he is already eighteen years old. He always said that his family was urging him to get married, but he never really obeyed to get married and have children!" Jin Xifu opened the account book again, thinking about what to send Xiao to.
Which gift is more suitable? I muttered in my mouth.
Yinzhen replied without raising his head: "He wants to find someone like you... Huh, I'm thinking about introducing Xiang Keyu to him."
There was a hint of sourness in the words, which made Jinxi laugh for a while.
"I have always regarded Xiao Yu as my eldest brother. Don't be so jealous."
"I'm telling the truth, there's no need to be jealous... Besides, I have no reason to be jealous, you are already my husband's wife! Is it possible that he still wants to take away my wife? I'm a fool! I'll see if I see him next time.
If you say something bad about him... he's as skinny as a monkey and doesn't have any boxing skills, you won't be afraid that the Xiao family will be rich and powerful and attract thieves to covet him..."
"What you said reminded me...Yinzhen, why don't you give him this Kung Fu? At his age, it must be too late to start learning martial arts from scratch. It's better to learn some Qing Kung Fu. If necessary, he will always run away.
It's okay..." After Jinxi said this, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She looked up at Yinzhen and met his resentful eyes, "What's wrong? You think this is too eye-catching, right? Then forget it, anyway.
The Xiao family also has many bodyguards..."
Yinzhen shook his head, put down his pen, stood up and walked to her, squatted down and faced her and said: "If I met you later than Xiao Yu, would you choose me or me?"
Good guy, what's the problem? She has absolutely no thoughts about Xiao Yu...
Jinxi sighed, stretched out her hand to pat his cheek, "Xiao is always polite to me when he advances and retreats. Not to mention that I don't have any feelings for him, I'm afraid he is just like a big brother to a little sister..."
"Really?" Yinzhen seemed to hum in disbelief. However, his complexion improved a lot, perhaps because he was comforted by Jinxi's comfort.
"How many years have we known each other?...Six...no, seven...it's been seven years since we first met, right? In these seven years, have I had any other thoughts? To be honest, I can't even
Xiao Yu was determined by you before he could even see his appearance..."
"So, you're blaming me for starting too quickly? Huh?" Yinzhen asked in a low voice with narrowed eyes.
"Haha... blah blah blah... I don't want to tell you... I've been so familiar with you that we're like a family long before I officially met Xiao Yu..." Jinxi grinned hurriedly and took advantage of Yinzhen's absence.
Before she had time to continue talking about this topic, she leaned forward and kissed his lips... (To be continued)
