Chapter 399: The Child
Ling'er didn't stay in the Ye family for long, so she invited her second aunt to chat for a while, and then said a few words to the eldest uncle and the second uncle before preparing to go back.
She was just about to get on the sedan chair, and the porter came to report that Mrs. Jia was visiting, everyone was stunned, and Ling'er was also a little flustered, she knew that the old lady must have come to see her. She stepped down from the sedan chair and asked her uncle to welcome Mrs. Jia to Yanhuan Courtyard.
Goodbye Mrs. Jia, she is still as straight as before, but her face and spirit seem to be much older, and her body is a little stiffer.
The old lady came to Ling'er and wanted to kneel down, but Ling'er hurriedly supported her: "The ancestors are exempt, and the younger generations can't afford it." ”
Mrs. Jia said with a straight look: "You are now a mother, and it is natural for you to kneel to the king." ”
The old lady insisted, but Ling'er had no choice but to watch her make a big salute to herself. Ling'er personally stepped forward to help her up and took her to sit down on the side, then waved back left and right, and lifted her skirt and knelt in front of the old lady.
The old lady still kept a straight face, but she didn't stop it, she accepted Ling'er's gift safely, and when Ling'er stood up, the old lady said: "Niangniang, for the sake of our mother-in-law and grandson, please help the minister." ”
"Ancestor, please speak."
"Please tell the emperor that my Jia family has returned to the mountains, and the Jia family is willing to never enter the court again, and only ask the saint to let my grandson go."
"What did the ancestor say? Isn't Haoyang good in the border city? ”
"Okay? You don't know if he's good or not? Old Madam Jia did not hide the reproach in her tone, and Ling'er was silent. She knows Haoyang's temper, and he will not give up easily if he is obsessed with me, but it is no longer possible for me to be with him.
"Ancestor. There is a way...... Did he forget about me? ”
"Yes! But if you want the mother to do it herself, can the mother do it? ”
Ling'er's heart was cold, what does the old lady mean? Can't I kill him with my own hands? How is this possible? Instead of that, I might as well give myself a knife first.
Ling'er retreated and sat on the chair, turned her head and whispered: "Ancestor, don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will say it well to the emperor." It's just that...... It's just that it may not be able to achieve the effect that the ancestors wanted. ”
Suddenly there was a child's cry in the house, and the old lady's face changed, and she looked into the room.
Ling'er asked the nurse to take out the little stone. Personally sent it to the old lady: "Ancestor, look! ”
The old lady wanted to reach out and touch the child, but her hands kept shaking, and her eyes were full of excitement and love: "This...... It's ......"
"Ancestor. His name is Little Stone. ”
"Little stones? Small stones are good. It's hard to feed, little stone? Small stones? The old lady whispered to the child in a soft voice, and she became a child with joy every time the child had an expression.
Ling'er sent the little stone to the old lady's arms: "Old ancestor, hug him!" ”
The old lady hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch it, her face was no longer ironclad, seeing that her old face was wrinkled into chrysanthemums with joy, and she was full of joy, Ling'er suddenly felt a little sorry for this old man.
He wanted his great-grandson in his heart. Pan, pan, even forcing his grandson to sleep with a woman to no avail. As a result, the grandson was hooked by himself. I knew I shouldn't have provoked him in the first place.
Mrs. Jia was reluctant to let go of the little stone until the child was so hungry that she cried, and the nurse hugged her to feed, she also stretched her neck to the side, and looked at the little stone to feed, the sight was too warm, so that the nurse was not embarrassed.
Seeing that it was getting dark, it was time for Ling'er to go back to the palace, but Mrs. Jia was reluctant to leave, so she hesitated and asked Ling'er to take the child away. Although she felt ashamed of the old lady, she was still reluctant to say what she said to Jia Min again.
The old lady looked disappointed, and proposed to come to see the small stone once every three days, this request was not too much, Ling'er did not refuse, but still tactfully proposed that it was probably not possible when Wenxuan was there.
Although there was a premise, the old lady was still very happy, and when she went out, her body was straighter, and her face was a little more smiling.
Ling'er said goodbye to the Ye family and returned to the palace, and did not go to the Ye family again.
Half a month later, the porter reported that a relative had visited, and Ling'er thought it was the Ye family, so she let them in. Who knew that when Ling'er saw someone coming, she was surprised, it was not the Ye family who came, but her biological father Jiang Huaiping.
Jiang Huaiping came in with a smile and asked, "Ling'er, you let your father find it!" ”
Ling'er frowned slightly, and smiled on her face: "Doesn't my father call me Xiaobai?" ”
Jiang Huaiping paused, "Hehe, you kid, why didn't you report your real name when you saw your father?" ”
"It's just a code name, does it matter what it's called?"
Jiang Huaiping heard the unkindness in Ling'er's tone, but he was not uncomfortable at all, but asked questions more like a loving father, and looked at the two children, each of whom gave a jade pendant.
It can be seen that he is obviously much more enthusiastic when facing Xiaobao, but his face is not very good-looking when he sees Xiaoshi.
Ling'er sneered in his heart, remembering the last time he passed by, he was still looking forward to Haoyang, the general, going to Jiang's Mansion for a trip, and now that he finds that there is a bigger gold master, is he going to go high and low?
Ling'er asked the nurse to take Xiaobao to the backyard to play, but she was distressed and hugged the little stone. Jiang Huaiping stretched his neck and watched Xiaobao leave, looked around, and came closer:
"Ling'er, that kid is the little prince, right? He is the only prince of the emperor, and he will definitely take over as the unification in the future, so you just let him go into exile? ”
Ling'er looked at him unhappily: "What do you mean to be outcast." ”
"Oh, Ling'er, the prince should live in the imperial city, accept the royal upbringing, and the ministers bow down, what are you doing to keep him in this remote palace?"
Ling'er pursed his lips and didn't speak, Jiang Huaiping thought that his words worked, and made persistent efforts: "I think my grandson is a clever man, and his merits in the future will not be worse than his father's emperor, you must cultivate such a good qualification, don't delay." Ling'er, have you invited a good master for the little prince? ”
"Taishi? What Taishi? ”
"It's the master who teaches the little prince!"
"She's only less than two years old, and she can't speak clearly, what kind of master do you invite?"
"Oh, you don't understand this, most of the princes started to study and practice martial arts at the age of three, because they are small, easy to shape, the sooner they learn, the better, some children with good qualifications can recite poems at the age of three, I think the little prince is not small, it's time to think about it!"
Seeing his serious appearance, as if he was worried about this matter, Ling'er was angry and funny, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Father, if you're okay, go back quickly, don't delay your business."
"Go back? Where to go back? I took a long vacation with Shangfeng this time, and moved the whole family over, I don't worry that you and the little prince will stay in Cangzhou alone, for the little prince, for the grandson, for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I am the duty of my grandfather, and I must teach him well.
