Li Mingwei finally had a son-in-law in his thirties, and he was recently promoted to become the commander of the Ruijian Battalion, a real general, and he is currently training in the western suburbs. Li Mingwei is in the emperor's heart, there are many people who are willing to flatter him, this day is a rare good weather in winter, there are many people in the outer courtyard early in the morning, all of them are Li Houye's best friends, the hall burned the stove, hot wine, and after a while, the small stove was also served, Li Mingwei laughed and toasted from table to table, most of the generals came, and there were also many children of Xun Qi, all of whom liked to be lively.
Even the old princess Yanci came here in the inner house, the old lady smiled with joy, and the Qi family, who was thickly dressed, also came out to greet the guests, it was already out of the full moon, according to the rules, it should be a good person, and the Qi family did not dare to pretend that the body was still uncomfortable, so he had to hold on. Today is the full moon wine, to flatter the newborn little brother, the Qi family ordered someone to take the little brother out, the little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes fell asleep, the old princess Yanci smiled and praised a few words, and wanted to see a few young ladies, Yutan led the sisters in, just say hello gently and shyly, speak softly, and the girls in the Hou Mansion have excellent rules.
The old princess Yanci pulled Yutan by her side and praised it well, "I heard that Yutan is now helping your mother take care of the house, what a capable child." ”
Yutan hurriedly said humbly, "I don't care about anything, thanks to my grandmother's guidance, I can think it through." ”
The old lady felt that there was light on her face, and she smiled like an old chrysanthemum, and even her voice was louder, and she called Youling to come over and sing songs, and was busy flattering the old lady Yanci to be happy, and the house was lively, and the ladies were laughing with each other.
Suddenly, the queen mother in the palace gave the child a lot of things, but the old lady was very happy, looking at these beautifully made tiger head hats and tiger head shoes and a lot of things, she was so happy, this is really a big face, and hurriedly flattered the female official who passed on the decree, I just didn't know what to say, Qi was worried, and smiled and beckoned her to the table to drink a glass of wine, the female official smiled, "I don't dare to take this glass of wine from Mrs., I am on a business trip today, and I will go back to the queen mother in a while, and I am afraid that I will be disrespectful to the queen mother after receiving the wine." ”
The female official who passed on Yi's decree left, and the house was opened, saying that the third prince was blessed, and he had the blue eyes of the queen's mother, and they all smiled and flattered the Qi family, and they couldn't help but think deeply in their hearts, what the queen's actions meant.
This kind of banquet is the most tiring, to the second half of the day these guests have left one after another, Qi is also tired and can't straighten the waist, so he has to go back to the house to lie down, Yutan has another busy, but also to register the gift binding book, before dark finally finished busy, busy took the book to go back to Grandmother Ming, the old lady complained a little, "Why did you just remember to come over at this time, the house is messy, and I don't know how to urge those people to clean up." ”
Yutan smiled and handed over the account book, "The gifts I received today are very valuable, and they must be registered in the book, and then they will be sorted and sorted out, and it will be too late." ”
The old lady took it and looked at it, there were several large articles in total, "It took an afternoon to write a few words?" You're too slow, I think Brother Shen will finish writing a few articles like this in a while. ”
Yutan didn't squeak, just when Li Mingwei came in, Yutan was busy asking his father for peace, Li Mingwei took the account book and looked at it, the old lady still said Yutan, and then said Qi, "Your mother doesn't know how to flatter the old lady Yanci today, why can't she even see this little bit of vision after being a family for so many years?" Her body is too delicate, she fell ill after standing for a while, and she had to ask the doctor to take medicine, how can people say about our family? You go and talk to your mother first, let her endure it for two days, it's not good to take medicine on this happy day, and it's not good to collide with the god of joy. ”
Yutan suddenly had tens of thousands of words to say in his heart, but he turned into a slight smile, "Grandmother, it makes sense for my mother to refuse to flatter the old princess Yanci, is it just for the old princess to snub the guests next to her?" The status of the old princess is precious, and our family is only worthy of greeting as a grandmother, and my mother does not dare to leave out other guests. ”
smiled at Li Mingwei again, "What grandmother said is reasonable, there is no reason to go to the imperial doctor today, but can the father allow his daughter to hire another doctor?" Let's show my mother first, but now my mother doesn't look very good. After speaking, I couldn't help but have red circles in my eyes, and tears almost fell out.
"Is your mother unwell? So what are you waiting for, why don't you go and ask for a doctor? After saying that, he personally ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor to come, and the old lady's face was not good, so she just sat there without saying a word.
Li Mingwei also saw that the old mother was unhappy, he rubbed his eyebrows, "Mother, Yutan did a good job today, and she should be rewarded, you can also remember clearly when you look at this account book, this time the house is thanks to Yutan, this girl can do more than the Qi family back then." ”
The old lady couldn't say anything, she remembered Brother Shen, Brother Shen didn't show up for a day today, the old lady was already uncomfortable, and then said to Li Mingwei, "You don't want Brother Shen to come out to meet the guests, Brother Shen doesn't know how sad it is, and the child was sent to live in Zhuangzi on a cold day, you can figure it out." The old princess Yanci also asked about Brother Shen, and she was angry that she couldn't see him today, so she asked me to take him over to the house as a guest one day. There was a bit of pride in his words.
Li Mingwei had a headache, and had to say something, "Mother, don't forget the reward of the queen today, there is a purpose here." ”
Speaking of this old lady, she is energetic again, "What does the queen mean, how can the mother guess, Yushan, what do you mean by talking about the queen mother?" ”
"Mother, don't forget, Zhao Guifei in the palace is the daughter of the Zhao family's partial house, the queen's mother's mother is weaker, and the saint is also willing to promote Zhao Guifei, and the second prince is only one year younger than the eldest prince, and now they are all studying with Weng Tonghe, there are several gentlemen teaching, it is said that the second prince is smart and enlightened, and he will learn it."
Seeing that the old mother was even more confused, Li Mingwei simply said clearly, "Why should the queen mother reward our family, her son has not made meritorious contributions, nor has he made great meritorious deeds, but it is just because Brother Jin is a son-in-law, and the queen is holding grievances for her son-in-law." ”
The old lady was completely dizzy, "Yushan, it's right to hold grievances for your sister-in-law, the queen is wise." ”
Li Mingwei couldn't help but sigh, "Mother, the queen is not for her brother to hold grievances, she is doing it for His Majesty." At present, we must give an attitude in our family, these old people don't understand, don't forget the identity of Brother Shen, even if he is recorded in the name of the Qi family, the title of the Hou Mansion in the future will also be Brother Jin'er, our family has promoted Brother Shen'er, it is inevitable that others will take it out to attack, and it will not be good for the brothers to be against the wall in the future, for the sake of Brother Shen'er, we have to let him stay away, so that he can know his identity from an early age. ”
"Brother Shen hasn't avoided far enough? He didn't show up today. "The old lady is wronged for his good grandson.
"Mother, today is Brother Jin'er's full moon wine, Brother Shen shouldn't come out, it's not a big deal, where does the child know what grievances there are."
"No grievances, no grievances, didn't you know grievances when you were a child? Then why are you hiding and crying secretly? What if your eldest brother is the eldest son, it's not that he doesn't have that life, and the title hasn't been attacked by you? When you get to Brother Shen, you can't bear to wronged him. ”
The old lady chattered about the past, Li Mingwei couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart, he didn't want to see his two sons fighting for the title, it seemed that he was going to come up with an idea after the New Year.
