Chapter 299: Grape trellises

Tang Chengxiang snorted, forcibly suppressed his anger, raised his hand and arched,

"It stands to reason that the old man will not dare to resign from the reward of the ancestors......"

"That's that, it's a long time to give."

The steward was full of smiles, holding the old lady's post in both hands, and bowed down again and again to rush to say like flattery,

"Since this is the case, the little one will retire first, if the prime minister, the uncle, and the second master think that these Qingqi people are not good enough, just say, the small one will be replaced by a good one."

As the steward spoke, he held up the big red post and stepped back, Prime Minister Tang looked at the steward with a respectful face but a tough attitude, and was speechless for a while in annoyance, the steward took a few steps back, turned around and went back.

Uncle Tang looked at his father carefully, and didn't dare to peek at the row of Qingqi people who were like flowers and jade, tender and tender, at the back of the main hall, Tang Erye hurriedly rushed over, rushed to the front of the hall, stared at the pretty women standing in a row, with a bright light in his eyes, while salivating and carefully looking at the few Qingqi people one by one, he rubbed to Uncle Tang's side, stabbed him, and said in a low voice:

"You're the eldest brother, you let me, you have to let me pick first!"

Prime Minister Tang turned his head violently, stared at Tang Er Ye with angry eyes, took two steps forward, waved his palm, and slapped Tang Er Ye in the face.

Cheng Guifei listened to the secret report of the chamberlain, sat on the couch, and was thinking about it with her eyebrows, and the maid outside reported that the emperor had entered the courtyard, and Cheng Guifei hurriedly got off the bed and went out.

The emperor was full of smiles, sat on the couch, took the tea handed by the concubine, sent it to his lips, just took a sip, he laughed, and handed the cup to Cheng Guifei while laughing, after a while, he laughed so much that he couldn't speak, Cheng Guifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the emperor, smiled with a hint of distress, sighed and said:

"What is the emperor's happy event today? So happy? I'm so upset. ”

The emperor's shoulders trembled, and he laughed for half an hour before he stopped laughing, and then took the handkerchief handed by the concubine and wiped the tears from laughter.

"Have you heard? Tang Xiang's grape trellis, but today they fell together, at this time, I'm afraid it's still lively, the ancestor actually asked people to send four Qingqi people to Jingxin, and sent eight to the Tang family, saying that it was Jingxin's daughter-in-law who pulled the string as a thank you gift, Jingxin didn't dare to accept it, and didn't dare to send it back to Runan Wangfu, just begged me to come here, Jingxin's daughter-in-law wants to lead the Lin family girl to Xiao Ke? ”

"I heard that, I'm worried, Jingxin's daughter-in-law watched the girl of the Lin family give birth well on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and mentioned it in passing, I think this is not a trivial matter, if you cross the ancestor, in the end, there is something inappropriate, let the princess of Runan go back and report to the ancestor, if the ancestor is unwilling, it is a matter of one sentence, the emperor, look at it, the ancestor is so old, why are you still messing around like a child?"

The emperor laughed again, waving his hands while laughing,

"This is Jingxin's daughter-in-law, isn't this, this matter, if she really wants to fulfill it, she should come over first, forget it, don't talk about this, don't worry, it's just a joke, the ancestors have cultivated themselves over the years, and they have done things more tactfully, if they were unhappy in the past, they were afraid that they would knock on the door......"

The emperor shook his head with a smile, Cheng Guifei looked at him carefully, lowered her eyes, and asked cautiously with a smile:

"Do you want me to ask Princess Runan to come in and talk about this?"

"Say what? Isn't it said that the ancestors are not? The ancestor is so old, and he is an elder, not to mention sending a few girls to the younger generation to show a slight punishment, that is, hitting Tang Xiangmen, this crutch, Tang Xiang had to bear it, besides, Tang Xiang should also sort out the internal situation, in the future, whoever wants to make trouble again, must weigh it first, and it is not a bad thing. ”

Cheng Guifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, frowning and still a little unable to relax, the emperor leaned over, patted her hand gently, sighed and comforted:

"You relax, this matter, I have a mirror in my heart, Jingxin's daughter-in-law is not sincere, how can Xiao Ke be willing to suffer? I'm afraid that he is instigating the ancestor, or simply borrowing the name of the ancestor to do this, but he has also grown, these things, forget it, you don't care, there is no wind and no waves, I don't know how much cause and effect are entangled in the middle, you don't care about it. ”

Cheng Guifei looked at the emperor with trust in her eyes and nodded.

Zhou Jingran shook the rocking chair, listened to Qingping's report, straightened up, looked at Qingping and asked:

"Tang **** milk went to the Xinwang Mansion?"

"I cried all the way over, and I heard the mother-in-law who went with the soup **** milk say that I don't know how many cups and plates I fell, and the soup **** milk pounced on Princess Xin and cried, and the sleeves of my clothes were torn."

"What about the big * milk of the Tang family? Didn't go? ”

"Yes, the eldest * grandmother of the Tang family didn't hear any movement, it was Mrs. Tang Cheng who personally went to the palace to write to the palace and dragged the soup **** milk back."

Zhou Jingran shook the folding fan, fell back into the rocking chair, and laughed sullenly, Qingping glanced up at him, lowered his hand and asked:

"What did the master order?"

"No need, I don't need it, well, you go and pick a few jars of thirty-year-old lychee wine, and then pick two boxes of rosewood rosary, and I'll go to see the ancestor tomorrow."

Qingping agreed, go down and prepare, the lychee wine is fine, and the two boxes of rosaries have to be carefully selected.

Tang **** milk went back from the Xinwang Mansion, and she wanted to die or live for two more days, and in the end she asked the two Qingqi people to come over and be her own girl, and she was on guard day and night.

Princess Xin accepted four Qingqi people, and was rubbed and pinched by the soup **** milk, and she was in a hurry, and she fell ill in bed that day, and the matter of the eldest lady of the Lin family was over.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it is June, in the evening, Li Xiaonuan is lying on the rocking chair under the eaves of the main corridor of Qinglian Courtyard, leisurely eating the grapes that have just been put on the market, looking at this book, Cheng Ke turned the hanging flower door, twisted his brows, and walked towards Li Xiaonuan along the verandah, with a displeased face.

Li Xiaonuan handed the book in his hand to the little girl, took the handkerchief handed by the cicada wing and wiped his hands, and was about to stand up, Cheng Ke hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward and half-hugged her to stand up, Li Xiaonuan helped him stand firmly, looked up at Cheng Ke, and asked with concern:

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm,"

Cheng Ke looked at Li Xiaonuan gloomily,

"The emperor asked me to go to the south to check on the salt tax and transportation, and I have to leave the day after tomorrow."

"You're in charge of the household, it's also a matter of your job, when will you be able to come back?"

"If it's fast, it will be September, I will definitely rush back before the end of September, Xiao Nuan, I told the emperor, I really don't worry about you, I will go after you give birth."

"The emperor agreed?"

"I didn't say yes."

Cheng Ke said sullenly, Li Xiaonuan pulled him to the house, and said with a smile:

"It's better for you to go now, when the child is born, you must be at home."

"Well, don't worry."

Cheng Ke helped Li Xiaonuan sit on the couch, and reached out to caress Li Xiaonuan's bulging abdomen.

"It seems to have grown up again."

"How can it be so fast......"

As he was talking, Cheng Ke's hand suddenly popped away, jumped up in shock, pointed at Li Xiaonuan's abdomen in panic, and shouted like a stutter:

"Moving...... It's moving, it's moving"

Li Xiaonuan smiled and fell on the couch, and only stopped laughing for a while, looked at Cheng Ke and said angrily:

"It's been almost five months, and it's okay to stop moving."

Cheng Ke was stunned for a long time, exhaled, carefully sat back on the couch, reached out and pressed lightly on Li Xiaonuan's abdomen, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, frowned and asked:

"Are you uncomfortable moving around like this?"

"Well, it's fine."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and diverted the topic,

"I'll ask someone to pack your things for you, it's not a big deal for you to go this time, right?"

"No, it's just that Xiaojing's few things are a little bit tangled, and there are no big things on the side."

Li Xiaonuan looked at him clearly, didn't ask any more, only called Cicada Wing in, and told her and Lan Chu to pack Cheng Ke's luggage.

In the middle of June, the sick Jin Zhiyang was carried by the small servant and the long attendant, and finally returned to the capital, Mrs. Zhang secretly sent people directly out dozens of miles away, and the Zou family also sent the mother-in-law to receive thirty miles away, Jin Zhiyang did not dare to go home first, to the Ministry of Rites to return the Qincha seal letter, and the hall official took leave, only to be carried by the elder, back to the Jin family's mansion, the mother-in-law sent by the Zou family did not dare to say much, watched Jin Zhiyang enter the Jin family's mansion, and hurriedly rushed back to report to the Zou family.

Mrs. Zhang waited anxiously in the second gate, watching Jin Zhiyang, who was unkempt and skinny, come in, pounced on Jin Zhiyang, and cried in distress.

Mrs. Jin was both painful and hateful, so she simply ignored it, and Mrs. Zhang asked for medical treatment and extended medicine, guarding Jin Zhiyang day and night.

Zou took the child to the Jin family's mansion that day, and knelt down at the gate, the Jin family thought about it, and didn't dare to let her in, Mrs. Zhang secretly sent someone to persuade her back, and she didn't dare to ignore it completely, so she had to send a hundred taels of silver every month as the daily use of Zou and the child.

Jin Zhiyang's illness was fine, and after seven or eight days of recuperation, he gradually recovered, Mrs. Zhang and Master Jin discussed it carefully, called a car, and went to Gu Yunshan's house in the south of the city.

Gu Yunshan took her in in annoyance, and respectfully served the tea, Mrs. Zhang took the tea with tears in her eyes, and put it on the side casually, looking at Gu Yunshan, the words didn't come out, and the tears flowed all over her face first.

Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and watched Gu Yunshan choke for a long time before she spoke.

"You and him, in the end, husband and wife, go back and see him, Zhiyang, I'm afraid it's ...... Oh no!"

Mrs. Zhang said, she simply cried loudly, Gu Yunshan frowned, bit her lip, looked at Mrs. Zhang who was crying with doubts, and saw that Mrs. Zhang's crying voice gradually lowered, so she instructed the little girls to come over with a bath basin, a handkerchief, and a pot, roll up their sleeves, and personally come forward to wait for Mrs. Zhang to clean her face.
