In the early morning of the next day, it rained lightly in the long-drought capital, saying that there was an autumn rain and a cold, Lin Zhixuan didn't know whether it was because of something on her mind, or she was awakened by the night rain, so she got up early and told Wei Mingxu to wear thicker clothes.

The ninth sister hadn't gotten up yet, Lin Zhixuan went to the side hall along the verandah to take a look at the ninth sister, and let Haosheng coax her, and then hug her when she woke up.
Lin Zhixuan asked Liu Yi to send a post to Wang's house early in the morning, saying that the old lady of the Wang family came to enjoy the rain, the autumn breeze was cool, and the bamboo rain in the bamboo courtyard was very quiet, Lin Zhixuan ordered Qiu Ju to clean the bamboo courtyard and entertain guests there for a while.
When Lin Zhixuan came out of the ninth sister's room, Qiu and Qi were already standing under the eaves of her house. The two were talking, and the Qiu family was now helping Li Jing manage the large and small utensils and carriages and horses in the palace, and he also had real power, and the Qi family was also very humble in front of her, smiling and talking.
Qiu was asking what was in the food box held by the little maid behind Qi, and Qi said: "Won't I know how to make some porridge and side dishes, it's rare for the mother to know, and I'm not like my sister, I am busy with the big things in the house all day long, and I can only do my filial piety with the mother in these small things." ”
Qiu naturally knew, Lin Zhixuan mentioned it earlier, but: "Why didn't I see you send it before, but now I must have got something good, it's better to show me first, and let me have a long insight." ”
The two of them said, Lin Zhixuan happened to come from the side of the hand-copying verandah, startling the two, originally Qiu only thought that Lin Zhixuan was still asleep in it and did not wake up, after all, Wei Mingxu came back early last night and drank wine.
Seeing Lin Zhixuan, both of them saluted first, Lin Zhixuan let the two of them get up, she also went back to the house, not standing on the porch with them to talk, Qiu and Qi followed in, Qiu Ju untied Lin Zhixuan's cloak, Lin Zhixuan also casually asked the two of them: "What are you talking about? ”
Qiu Shi hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything, I never thought that Niangniang would get up so early today, it rained outside to sleep peacefully, but Niangniang would get up later." ”
The Qiu family didn't want the Qi family to be in the limelight, and they had already rushed to divert the words.
Lin Zhixuan said: "There are guests coming today, you go and prepare some, and the lunch is lighter." I told Qiu Ju to clean up the bamboo yard, and you will go to the library to help her pick out the utensils in the future, and I see that the first few times you helped Jing'er arrange the banquet was not bad. ”
Mrs. Qiu was praised and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, Niangniang, after a while, the concubine will go to the library to help pick out some elegant porcelain toys to put on them." ”
Lin Zhixuan nodded in response, Qi Shi only thought about the things in the food box behind him, but he couldn't say a word standing in front of Lin Zhixuan at this moment.
Outside, Zhuang's, Liu's and Li Jing had also come over, and Lin Zhixuan asked people to invite them in, but it was cold and rainy outside.
Everyone came in together to greet Lin Zhixuan, and when they were about to leave, Qi came forward hesitantly and said that they had made some exquisite porridge and side dishes for Lin Zhixuan.
In the past, Wei Mingxu left early, and Lin Zhixuan waited for them to come over to invite An before having breakfast, but when Lin Zhixuan woke up early, most of them would have breakfast with Wei Mingxu.
Mrs. Qi was also a little at a loss at first, how did she plan to come, and how to bring it back, but she really had something in her heart, now Lin Zhixuan is the only one in the mansion, and Concubine Cai is still breathing, Li Jing and Qiu help Lin Zhixuan run the house, and now they are also in charge of some money, and the people in the palace are used to worshipping high and stepping on low, she can't get Lin Zhixuan's favor, although there are not many deductions in clothing, but it is still not enough for the expenses she needs.
Now there is no way, so I came to please Lin Zhixuan, but I didn't want this fart to be slapped on the horse's leg. Mrs. Qi hesitated again and again, and thought that no matter whether Lin Zhixuan ate it or not, as long as she knew her intentions, it would be good.
So he still brought it out, and asked the little maid to carry it to Lin Zhixuan, and said: "The former Niangniang ordered me to pick a good one, but at that time, Niangniang was pregnant, and I didn't understand medical science, for fear that the things I made would collide with Niangniang's fetal medicine, so I didn't dare to send it. ”
Lin Zhixuan said that she had a heart, and only let Qiu Ju take it, and the Qi family also retreated.
Lin Zhixuan got up early in the morning, a little tired, sat down on the kang, picked up the clothes that she had made for the Empress Dowager half before, and continued to embroider.
Qiu Ju saw that people were gone, and she also knew that most of the things made by Qi Lin Zhixuan would not eat, this thing was mostly rewarded to them, Qiu Ju opened the food box to see, but was very surprised, and said to Lin Zhixuan: "Ah, Niangniang, it is a fish, I smell very fragrant, Niangniang should you soak the rice and eat half a bowl, get up early, I see that your appetite is not very good, only drank a small half bowl of porridge." ”
Lin Zhixuan was also surprised, originally it was just some ordinary small cold dishes or something, Qiu Ju brought it over to Lin Zhixuan to see, it was a butterflyfish with clear sauce, and it was very exquisite. In order to make this dish, Qi Shi is afraid that he will have to get up in the middle of the night to work.
Lin Zhixuan didn't care much about it originally, but this time she felt that it was a little unusual for the Qi family to get up early and spend so much thought.
Qiu Ju had already brought the fish from the food box to the kang table, and asked the outside to bring in the rice and the side dishes that Lin Zhixuan had eaten every day. Qiu Ju still tried it with a silver plate first, and it was not poisonous. Although Lin Zhixuan has now given birth to her ninth sister safely, she is indispensable to guard against others.
Qiu Ju served Lin Zhixuan a small half bowl of rice, and scooped half a spoonful of fish soup, this soup is boiled in broth, and there is no fishy smell at all.
Lin Zhixuan took a bite and felt very good, and said, "I never thought that the Qi family really had good cooking skills." ”
Lin Zhixuan asked Qiu Ju and Dong Mei to eat some with her, and told Qiu Ju to bring out a bowl and send it to Xia Lan, she is injured now, and she should also be nourished and nourished for her body.
Qiu Ju's face was a little stiff, and she no longer had an appetite for the fish on the table in front of her.
Lin Zhixuan asked her, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Ju smiled and said, "Not much." ”
Lin Zhixuan was about to say something, when the nurse outside came over and said that the ninth sister had woken up and had hugged her.
Because of taking care of the ninth sister, there were mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the house one after another, and the rain was a little lighter, and the old lady of the Wang family was accompanied by the uncle and grandmother of the Wang family's big house, the eldest wife of the second room and the fourth master.
The eldest old lady of the Wang family came to Beijing, and most of the trivial matters at home were handed over to Wang Jingzheng, the third master of the long house, who was the youngest son of the eldest lady and Wang Jingsheng's younger brother, but he was not worried that the elderly old lady would enter Beijing alone, so he let his eldest son and daughter-in-law and the fourth master who had always been close to Wang Jingzheng in the second room come over together.
