Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ordering Mandarin Ducks
When Ji Xiaotang returned to King An's Mansion, he told Qin Zhen about the decision of everyone in Xinhuatang.
Qin Zhen bowed his head.
"This method is clean and neat, it is rare that Ji Xiaomu has such a decision now."
This solution is the best way for Xinhuatang. As for Qin Zhen's emotion, Ji Xiaotang smiled in return.
"The eldest brother was a very intelligent man, but he had not been troubled before. Now that he has a burden on his shoulders, it is related to the rise and fall of the family, and of course he has to take on this responsibility. ”
In this matter, the difficulty is not the method, but the responsibility.
"Let's hope everything goes well." Qin Zhen said this, and did not talk about this topic with Ji Xiaotang again, but asked Ji Xiaotang to rest earlier.
Ji Xiaotang is pregnant, and in recent days, she has not only been presiding over the middle feed of the palace, but also running around, worrying about many things. Although she didn't show her tiredness, let alone complain, Qin Zhen was distressed.
"Your body, and our child in your womb, is the most important thing." Qin Zhen said to Ji Xiaotang.
As soon as he arrived, Qin Zhen urged Ji Xiaotang to rest in peace, and he also planned to rest in Xuchun Hall and sleep with Ji Xiaotang.
If it is strictly according to the rules, Ji Xiaotang is pregnant, and he will have to be separated from Qin Zhen. In other words, Qin Zhen not only couldn't sleep with her, but he couldn't even rest in Xuchun Hall.
However, Qin Zhen said it well, in this Anwang Mansion, he and Ji Xiaotang are the rules.
Qin Zhen not only stayed in Xuchun Hall all the time, but also sat down firmly in Ji Xiaotang's birth. He often sleeps with Ji Xiaotang, not to mention the concubines, or the two partial concubines. It's also a rare time a month.
Song Xinyue has been at peace and has not said anything. Zheng Zi didn't dare to say anything because he had a handle in the hands of Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang. But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some rumors and discussions outside.
Ji Xiaotang didn't need to inquire about it, he could guess the approximately.
"Lord Wang, we are not an ordinary husband and wife. I don't advise the concubine. Concubine Zheng and Concubine Song, the prince should still have some kindness. Ji Xiaotang persuaded Qin Zhen again.
"What, what did the two of them say to you?" Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly. Immediately asked.
"Not really." Ji Xiaotang didn't cover up for Song Xinyue and Zheng Zi, these two people really didn't dare to come to her to say anything, let alone complain.
"So what do you care about her? Or, what did these two families say to their father-in-law and mother-in-law? Qin Zhen asked again.
"Not either." This sentence. That's not all.
The corners of Qin Zhen's mouth curled slightly. looked at Ji Xiaotang with a faint look.
"That's what good things my father-in-law has gotten, and I need to comfort Concubine Song and Concubine Zheng!"
"What nonsense!" Ji Xiaotang raised his hand and slapped Qin Zhen twice.
Qin Zhen laughed, let Ji Xiaotang beat him, and when Ji Xiaotang was about to stop, he held Ji Xiaotang's hand, then lowered his head and kissed Ji Xiaotang's palm fiercely.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't speak anymore. can only let Qin Zhen proudly settle on his couch.
Lying on the couch, Ji Xiaotang didn't fall asleep for a while. Qin Zhen didn't feel sleepy. He sat next to Ji Xiaotang, hugged Ji Xiaotang's waist, and then leaned down~ and put his ears on Ji Xiaotang's bulging lower abdomen.
This month, I can already hear the sound of fetal movements, and since I felt the fetal movements for the first time and told Qin Zhen, Qin Zhen seems to be obsessed with this sport.
"Did my son kick you?" Qin Zhen listened carefully for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked Ji Xiaotang.
"Seems to be." Ji Xiaotang replied.
"It must be." Qin Zhen was sure.
"Lord Wang, how can you be sure that it must be a son?" Anyway, he didn't feel sleepy, Ji Xiaotang simply chatted with Qin Zhen.
"So lively and active, and with such strength in kicking, he must be a naughty boy." Qin Zhen smiled.
When Qin Zhen said this, Ji Xiaotang was about to raise the bar with him.
"That's not necessarily, maybe it's a very powerful and lively little girl."
Qin Zhen seemed stunned.
"It's possible." After a while, Qin Zhen spoke, but his eyes swirled on Ji Xiaotang's face, "The next time I see my mother-in-law, I should ask carefully, Xiaotang, were you such a powerful and lively little girl at that time." ”
"Why did it come to me?" Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing.
The couple was next to each other, and they said in a low voice for a long time, Ji Xiaotang didn't know when he fell asleep, Qin Zhen saw Ji Xiaotang fall asleep, so he hugged Ji Xiaotang and almost immediately entered the Black Sweet Township.
In the next two days, Ji Xiaotang didn't go out, while dealing with some chores at home, while patiently waiting for news from Xinhuatang.
On the third day, the Yang family brought a lot of things, and at the behest of Ji Xiaolian, they went to Changchun~ to visit Ji Xiaolian in the palace.
Ji Xiaolian originally wanted to see Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji, but unfortunately Mrs. Ji was sick, and Mrs. Ji had to stay in Xinhuatang to serve the sick, so she couldn't enter the palace.
The Yang family alone represented the female dependents of the Ji family into the palace.
Knowing that the Yang family had entered the palace, Ji Xiaotang's heart lifted slightly. The success or failure of things is on this day.
The Yang family entered the palace and stayed in Changchun ~ Palace for half a day before leaving and returning to Xinhuatang. In order to avoid suspicion, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of people with intentions, Ji Xiaotang did not send someone to Xinhuatang, and Xinhuatang did not send someone to send her a message.
Ji Xiaotang waited until late that night, and there was no news from the palace.
"It seems that things didn't work out." Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen.
The next day, Ji Xiaotang knew with certainty that the Yang family did not succeed.
Yang is not a deep person in the city, nor is she a ruthless person, she has never done such a thing. Even if it is because of the heavy burden on her shoulders, she can perform extraordinarily, and there is still the possibility that Ji Xiaolian will be aware of this exposure.
However, the reason why this matter did not succeed is not only because of the Yang family.
Yang went to Changchun~ to visit Ji Xiaolian in the palace. Soon after, Empress Dowager Han took Empress Han to Changchun~ Palace.
"I don't have a chance to ...... at all" Under the pretext of visiting Ji Xiaotang, the Yang family and Mrs. Ji came to King An's Mansion together. Tell Ji Xiaotang what happened that day.
The Yang family didn't have a chance to give Ji Xiaolian ~ medicine at all.
"Is this an accident?" Ji Xiaotang immediately sensitively realized that there was a problem and asked Yang.
Yang carefully recalled the situation, and then slowly shook his head.
This incident, in Yang's view, is not accidental.
"I always feel that the Queen Mother seems to be aware of something. What she said to me, there was something in the words. Yang tried his best to recall and relay everything that Empress Dowager Han said to her to Ji Xiaotang.
"And the Queen Mother looks at Xiaolian. Looking at my eyes, she said that Xiaolian's womb is related to Daqin's national fortunes. It was her and Her Majesty's life. Whoever dares to fight Xiaolian's idea is to take her and His Majesty's lives, to cut off Daqin's national fortunes, and to conspire against him! ”
Yang's voice trembled a little as he spoke.
"I think, it's still that I'm useless, so they can see it......" Yang blamed himself very much.
Ji Xiaotang lowered his head and thought for a moment before raising his head again.
"Sister-in-law. You don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault. Ji Xiaotang told Yang.
When she said these words, she was not simply comforting Yang. She's telling the truth.
"This matter is no longer something that Xinhuatang can manage." Ji Xiaotang said solemnly.
"Xiaotang, what do you mean ......?"
"The Queen Mother should already know the truth of the matter~."
"Now that she knows the true ~ phase, why does she still say that, why does she want to protect the child in Xiaolian's belly?" The best solution is to push the boat down the river and let the people of Xinhuatang deal with this matter.
"She is not protecting the child in Concubine Ji's womb, what she wants to protect is her authority." Ji Xiaotang sneered.
"Well, after that...... Isn't it a disaster sooner or later? Second Mrs. Ji and Yang glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Ji Xiaotang.
"That's also a matter for the future, the soldiers will come to block, the water will come to cover the earth, I will never let Xinhuatang have an accident."
Ji Xiaotang said this, and Yang blamed himself even more.
"It's all useless."
"Sister-in-law, it's really none of your business. You've done a great job! Ji Xiaotang comforted Yang a few words, and then talked about another topic.
She has never been a dragger, once she realizes that Ji Xiaolian's matter is a foregone conclusion, she will no longer worry about it needlessly, but immediately think of the most important problem that should be solved in the next step.
Empress Dowager Han protected Ji Xiaolian, Xinhuatang is bound to stay in the limelight for a long time, she is not worried about the rest of the Ji family, she is only worried about Master Ji alone.
Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji.
"Still looking at people, in the past two days, seven or eight matchmakers have come to the door, and some people are actually very ......" Yang wanted to speak and stopped.
As a daughter-in-law, it is not good for her to directly say that Master Ji is nothing, and there are some things that she really can't say. And Mrs. Ji, as a brother and daughter-in-law, also has a lot of taboos when she speaks.
However, without them talking in detail, Ji Xiaotang can also understand.
"I've been thinking about this for the past two days." Ji Xiaotang picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip gently, "Instead of letting the eldest master find an unsuitable person by himself, let's pick a proper person for the eldest master." ”
"That's right." Mrs. Ji Er spread her hands, "It's just for a while, where to find the right person in all aspects." ”
"This person is far away in front of him." Ji Xiaotang smiled as he spoke.
"Far away, close at hand." Mrs. Ji and the Yang family both repeated this sentence, and they didn't react for a while to who Ji Xiaotang was referring to.
"Zhou Nianhong." Ji Xiaotang gently spit out three words.
"Zhou girl!" Yang was taken aback.
Mrs. Ji Er also showed a surprised expression.
It's no wonder that they are surprised, Zhou Nianhong and Master Ji are not only different in age, strictly speaking, they are also different in generation.
However, these are not problems at all.
Old husbands and young wives, this is the common feeling in the world. In terms of generations, ......, there is no blood relationship between Master Ji and Zhou Nianhong.
“…… Knowing the roots, and in our family, it is natural to get along more harmoniously. Moreover, these days, we are all looking at her, she is indeed a steady and good girl, with her restraining the eldest master, I am not afraid that the eldest lord will do anything out of the ordinary in the future......"
Ji Xiaotang talked about the benefits of Zhou Nianhong.
Speaking of Zhou Nianhong's benefits, Mrs. Ji Er and the Yang family also nodded.
In the end, the two had to admit that Zhou Nianhong was indeed a very good candidate.
Although Zhou Nianhong is a good candidate, Mrs. Ji Er is still a little hesitant.
"My mother went back and told the old lady to go and propose marriage to the Yao family, and they didn't follow it." This family affair is not a good family affair for the Yao family mother and son.
Mrs. Ji Er thought about it and nodded.
Ji Xiaolian's side has no way, and the matter of Master Ji's renewal must be done as soon as possible, otherwise if it is delayed, who knows what will happen.
"I'll go back and tell the old lady." Mrs. Ji Er stood up.
"Mother." Ji Xiaotang shouted.
"Xiaotang, what's the matter?" Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaotang.
"Nothing." Ji Xiaotang exhaled lightly, "When Miss Zhou gets married, I will send a rich makeup." ”
"Xiaotang, don't worry, the dowry will never treat them badly, and we will also buy the dowry for her. In the future, when Miss Zhou marries into the Ji family, everyone will treat her well. Mrs. Ji said.
Ji Xiaotang smiled and nodded.
sent away Mrs. Ji and the Yang family, and when Qin Zhen came back, Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen about the fact that she had found a house for Master Ji.
Qin Zhen didn't care about this matter, Ji Xiaotang said okay, that's good.
……
Xuanhuatang
Mrs. Ji told Mrs. Ji what Ji Xiaotang meant, and Mrs. Ji also thought for a moment before nodding.
"Putting aside everything else, Nianhong's kid is really a good boy." Moreover, since it was Ji Xiaotang's idea, Mrs. Ji believed that this must be a good thing.
Since Mrs. Ji nodded, she sent someone to invite the Yao family and told the Yao family about the matter in person.
“…… Those who say kiss, what kind of high-ranking lady daughter, I can't like it, I just think it's good to read red. Long and thoughtful, virtuous and virtuous. …… I won't talk about the Ji family's door, the eldest master's people are there, and I don't need to say more. Later, Nianhong entered the door, and I treated her as my daughter. The second wife, or the eldest ~ grandma, are all easy people to get along with......"
Mrs. Ji said a lot patiently, but Yao did not immediately agree, of course, she did not refuse, but told Mrs. Ji with a smile that she wanted to go back and discuss with Zhou Nianhong.
Zhou Nianhong is a girl with ideas, and in some things, the Yao family has to listen to Zhou Nianhong.
Mrs. Ji knew, and she was not angry, but understood very well.
"The twisted melon is not sweet, we all think it is good, and the child has to be willing to do so, which is a good marriage." Mrs. Ji is extraordinarily reasonable.
When Yao left Xuanhuatang and went to the room, his footsteps were a little flustered, and he even had the intention of fleeing in the wilderness.
It's just that Mrs. Ji didn't see it, the old man already knew what Zhou Nianhong's reply would be, and she was thinking about what dowry to prepare and what day to do a happy event.
