What the Empress Dowager wants is Jiang Xian's husband and wife to be harmonious, affectionate and loving, not a title.

Her face sank.

The East Warm Pavilion of Cining Palace became quiet and dignified.

Jiang Xian had already arrived in Datong at this time.

Datong used to be the imperial capital, since the founding of the People's Republic of China is an important town on the nine sides, the imperial court has a horse market here, and there is the Datong General Military Office stationed here, prosperous and lively is not a problem.

Jiang Xian lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

In addition to the many signboard merchants, there are also many big girls and little daughters-in-law wearing magpie robes lingering on the roadside stalls, and at a glance you know that the folk customs are much more fierce than those in the capital.

She also saw a lot of restaurants selling mutton.

Qi Dan told her: "We have a lot of tartars that come here to sell and buy, and mutton is gradually becoming popular. The most famous are the 'first floor' of Gulou West Street and the 'Yuguang source' of Xiaonan Street. Then there is the 'Jinan Village' on Dabei Street and the 'Fenglin Pavilion' on Jiulou Lane, but these two are good at Lu cuisine and Beijing cuisine. If the county lord is interested, we can order a table for dinner today. ”

Jiang Xian was really interested.

She wanted to eat mutton, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to digest it, so she hesitated for a long time, and she didn't decide what to eat, and the carriage had already stopped at the side door of the backyard of the Datong General Military Mansion.

Mrs. Qi said apologetically: "County Lord, the grandfather of the small country said that he wanted to be simple and obedient, so he had to wronged the county lord." ”

The Datong General Military Mansion is a military fortress, unless it is to receive the Holy Driver, receive the Holy Decree or the new Datong General Soldier takes up the new position, and the governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies come to visit, otherwise they can only go through the middle gate.

Jiang Xian smiled: "I'm just following my eldest brother to play, so naturally the more low-key the better." Madame is too worried!"

Mrs. Qi didn't say much, looked at her kindly, and got out of the carriage first.

When she first met Jiang Xian, she saw that Jiang Xian was very cold and treated people very coldly, and he was like a glass man, and his eyes were swollen, so she went to Wutai Mountain to invite a medicine monk to come over for consultation, and she was a little worried that she would inadvertently offend Jiang Xian. But after contacting it in the past few days, she found that Jiang Xian was just cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Jiang Xian is not only generous in dealing with people, but also very lenient and polite, the people around him do wrong things, never loudly reprimand or punish, all of them are handed over to Liu Dongyue to teach carefully, better tempered than many of the ladies she has seen, cultivated, say what you like what you like, and say you don't like what you don't like, and make friends simple and sincere, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, very comfortable.

She is not polite to Jiang Xian, she should be the first, she should be the first, she should be the back, everyone gets along with each other very well.

Jiang Xian was helped out of the carriage by Liu Dongyue, and what he saw was a vegetable garden that had just been turned over, and a few seedlings had popped up.

Mrs. Qi hurriedly said, "This is planted by my mother-in-law." ”

Jiang Xian then remembered that Mrs. Qi followed her mother-in-law to join Qi Sheng after Qi Sheng's father died, and Qi Sheng's mother was just a peasant woman in the countryside.

Jiang Xian saw a living vegetable garden for the first time.

In the past, when she was the queen mother, she also went to the altar of agriculture and mulberry. But that's just two steps with the rake in hand, and it's as interesting as what is in front of you.

"What does the old lady plant?" she asked curiously, "I heard that the vegetables grown in the garden bear fruit in the summer, so do you eat the vegetables grown in this garden in the summer?"

The Qi family only made a trace after Qi Sheng saved Jiang Zhenyuan, although the Qi family added some industry, but the living habits were there, Mrs. Qi also had her own backyard to grow vegetables when she was in her hometown, she was very familiar with this, and said with a smile: "I ordered some cucumbers, gourds, bell peppers, zucchini and the like." Then he pointed to her where all kinds were.

In Jiang Xian's opinion, it was all a piece of soil, and he couldn't tell what was what. nodded carelessly, and proposed to go with Mrs. Qi to meet Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi hurriedly said that she didn't dare, and said, "How can there be any reason to let the county lord go to meet the lady." ”

Mrs. Qi is a lady of the third grade, and Mrs. Qi is a widow of the seventh grade, but for the sake of respect and please, they are all called Mrs.

Jiang Xian smiled: "If Madame treats me as the county lord, then I will go back to the guest room and wait for the old lady to come and see me." If you treat me as a niece who is a good member of the family, you will lead me to greet the old lady. ”

Mrs. Qi hesitated for a moment, responded with a bold smile and said "yes", and took Jiang Xian to the East Cross Courtyard where the old lady lived.

The old lady is fifty-four this year, but her hair is full of green silk, her body is tough, and her smile is straight. It doesn't matter what the county lord is or not, he took Jiang Xian's hand and shouted "eldest girl", and said: "Why did this thin-skinned and tender flesh follow your brother to Datong? ”

Mrs. Qi stopped the old lady with a smile: "Mother, the county lord has just come to us, I will lead her back to clean her face and change her clothes to rest for a while, and then come over to have dinner with you when the lamp is in charge." ”

When the old lady heard this, she immediately said, "Then go back to the house and rest first." When you're idle, let the eldest girl and the second girl come over to play with you. ”

Qi Shan and Qi Shuang heard Qi Qi's black face and said, "Grandmother, how many times have I told you, we don't call the eldest girl and the second girl, we call Ah Shan and Ah Shuang!"

The old lady ignored the two girls at all, urging Jiang Xian to go and rest.

The two girls pouted and accompanied Jiang Xian to the resting room.

The guest room is cleaned up, the black lacquered furniture, the parrot green curtain hanging next to the floor cover is brand new, and there are traces of ironing, and the two plums flying out of the sweet white porcelain plum bottle on the coffee table are dark and fragrant, which makes people can't help but move slightly in their hearts, and secretly admire the good intentions of the people who decorate the room.

"Thank you, madam!" Jiang Xian sincerely thanked Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi was polite, called the daughter-in-law who was arranged here to kowtow to Jiang Xian, and left with her two daughters.

Jiang Xian finally washed his hair happily, changed into the white silk clothes he usually wears, and leaned comfortably on the chaise longue and was helped by the little maid to dry his hair.

Liu Dongyue came in and said, "The eldest prince and Lord Li have settled down in the guest room on the west side accompanied by Lord Qi. In the evening, Lord Qi called the staff generals, guerrilla generals, garrisons, and others of the General Military Mansion to the Grand Duke and Lord Li to pick up the wind, and tomorrow he invited Lord Li to see the drills of the General Military Mansion of Datong. ”

It would be good for Li Qian to slowly integrate into the Datong General Military Mansion like this.

Although there is also a horse market in Yulin, it is a black market, unlike the horse markets in Datong and Xuanfu, which were opened by the imperial court. Li Qian wants to be strong, in addition to the horse market in Yulin, the horse market in Datong and Xuanfu should also have more contact.

After Jiang Xian and the relatives of the Qi family had dinner together, they went back to the house to rest.

When they got up the next day, Li Qian and Jiang Lu had already gone to the school with Qi Sheng.

Li Qian's little servant Binghe came in to greet Jiang Xian, saying that the banquet was dispersed after three drums last night, and the inner courtyard had been locked, and he was called away by Qi Sheng early this morning: "...... The uncle asked the little one to ask the county lord how well he slept last night, was there anything he was not used to, was there anything that needed to be added? Lord Qi said that he would take the uncle to the horse market tomorrow, and it was estimated that he would not be idle for the next few days. If there is something to do with the county lord, let Brother Dongyue's orders be small. ”
