Chapter 118: Family Talks
85_85256 Xi Zhen got off the sedan chair and saw Du Qiniang, Shen Xibin, Ji Yuelian, Pepper and Xiang'er who were looking over here, and immediately burst into tears and were full of excitement, and hurriedly rushed towards them with their skirts.
They also ran towards her with a happy face.
Soon, everyone was hugging each other.
It's been a whole year, a year of fear, and they dare to relax at the moment when they see her return safely.
Du Qiniang hugged Xizhen and cried with joy, and the others also burst into tears because of excitement.
Everyone was so excited that it took a while to calm down.
After the mood calmed down, everyone remembered King Qingping who was standing behind Xizhen, and hurriedly saluted him, King Qingping smiled and nodded, not blaming everyone at all.
On the contrary, he is happy to see Hee Zhen reunited with his family, and as long as Hee Zhen is happy in his heart, he will also be happy.
Then a group of people entered the house with joy.
It's spring, and the trees in the courtyard have bloomed three or two flowers, which are more and more delicate against the background of the green leaves, bringing infinite vitality to the yard.
"Your seventeenth birthday is in a few days, and I have already asked someone to make relevant preparations, and I will definitely make a birthday party for you at that time." Du Qiniang clasped Xizhen's hand and said.
Seeing Xizhen, who had lost a lot of weight than a year ago, Du Qiniang was very distressed.
"Mother, I'm only seventeen years old, where do I need to have a birthday party?" Xi Zhen hurriedly stopped.
"Originally, there was no need to have a birthday party at your age, but it is extremely difficult for you to come back safely from such a difficult environment in the country of the world, in order to thank the gods of heaven and earth, and to celebrate your return, so my mother wants to hold a trip." Du Qiniang said, her eyes were full of undoubted looks.
"Yes. It's like celebrating a new birth. Shen Xibin also echoed.
Xi Zhen smiled at this time.
Okay, let's do it halfway, as long as everyone is happy.
Shen Xibin and Ji Yuelian's son Shen Zhihao has turned one year old and can walk on the ground, at this time he is wearing a thick cotton jacket made for him by Ji Yuelian, looking up at Xi Zhen with a curious face, and seeing Xi Zhen looking back at him. Busy shyly turned his head and got into Ji Yuelian's arms.
"What's wrong? Shy? That's your aunt. Ji Yuelian lowered her head and spoke to him softly. Xiao Zhihao relaxed a little, and turned his head to look at Xi Zhen.
"The little guy hasn't seen you for a long time, and he's a little scared." Ji Yuelian said with a smile. While teaching him to call Xizhen 'aunt'. The little guy saw Xizhen's bright smile when he looked at him, and his original shyness and nervousness suddenly disappeared, and he looked at her and called out crisply, "Auntie." ’
When Xi Zhen heard him scream like this, her heart melted. Hurriedly reached out to hug him, and he immediately reached out to her. Obediently lay down in her arms.
When he arrived in her arms, he raised that lovely smiling face and looked directly at Xizhen, which made Xizhen happy. Leaned over and kissed his little pink face.
"Brother, how are you doing after returning to Beijing?" Xizhen looked at her brother and asked, with an affectionate smile on her face.
"Accustomed to it. It's really a lot of you who came out to ask the emperor for me to come back. Shen Xibin said happily as she added tea to her teacup.
"Brother is polite. It's good to get used to it, with you, your mother, sister-in-law and nephew can also feel much more at ease! Xizhen said with a smile, suddenly remembering the second brother who was still serving in Northern Xinjiang, and the expression on his face became more solemn.
Everyone also understood her thoughts, and they were busy changing the subject.
After all, it may not be so easy to apply for the transfer of both brothers.
"The second brother came to me a month ago, and the letter said that he was fine over there, so that we don't have to worry about it, and asked about you." Shen Xibin said.
Xizhen's longing for her second brother could no longer be suppressed, and it was immediately revealed on her red eyes.
She struggled to adjust her mind.
When her mood calmed down a little, she chatted with everyone about home.
And what everyone is most concerned about is her experience in the country of this year, and she also talked about her experience in the country of the ball in accordance with everyone's wishes, in case everyone is too worried, she deliberately hides those particularly dangerous parts.
Even so, everyone was frightened and couldn't even breathe.
Before I knew it, it was dusk, dinner had been prepared in the kitchen, and everyone moved to the dining room to eat.
This dinner was very rich, with Xizhen's favorite osmanthus cake, green tea pancakes and pear lotus seed syrup, as well as Qingping Wang's favorite meat buns, walnut crisps, water-milled tofu and milk fans.
Du Qiniang looked at it clearly, and her heart was sweet - Xizhen and King Qingping are really a match made in heaven!
Thinking like this, Du Qiniang's face suddenly smiled.
After dinner, Chu Zihou said goodbye, and everyone got up to send each other off.
Although he was very reluctant, Xizhen didn't dare to whisper to him in front of everyone, so he had to suppress his reluctance to send him out in person.
After returning to the hall, Du Qiniang beckoned Xi Zhen to come over, and Xi Zhen hurriedly walked over with her skirt.
"Zhen'er, there are some things I shouldn't have asked too much, because you have always had a lot of ideas, but after thinking about this matter, I think it's safer to know your thoughts in advance." Du Qi Niang held her hand and said softly.
Shen Xibin and Ji Yuelian were also present, and everyone looked at her with concern.
"Mother, but it doesn't hurt to say." Xi Zhen said busily. Seeing everyone's strict expressions, she knew that it should be a more important thing.
"Now that you have helped the Xi Kingdom occupy the Globe Country, such a great achievement, I don't know what the emperor will reward you, but no matter what he wants to reward you, I also hope that you will not be tempted by those things that can be seen and touched, and take a long-term view." Du Qiniang said.
Xi Zhen immediately understood what Du Qiniang was worried about.
"Mother, don't worry, I have my own measure." Xi Zhen said busily.
"I know you have measure, but I'm afraid you will forget those measures in front of high-ranking officials."
"As the saying goes: high-ranking officials are generous, and rarely cause disasters, if the emperor rewards me with high-ranking officials, then I will politely refuse it."
When Du Qiniang heard her say this, she suddenly felt a lot more settled.
She really didn't expect Xizhen to adhere to her principles so much, so she was much more relieved.
Du Qiniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's rare that you can see these things at a young age, so you don't have to worry about it all day long."
How many tragedies have evolved over the course of greed?
Since Xi Zhen can realize this, then she doesn't need to worry about it every day, Du Qi Niang's knot in her heart also opened when she thought about it like this, so she happily went back to her room to rest.
Xizhen also returned to the room.
When she got home, she suddenly felt a sense of stability in her heart, so she fell asleep not long after lying down. (To be continued).
