Chapter 401, Zhou's mother enters Beijing
"It's okay, don't worry, things will always find a solution. Changsheng, we just went to the street to stroll, you are pregnant, you need to eat better, today I invite you to the restaurant, let's go to my aunt after lunch and buy some things. ”
Changsheng nodded listlessly, she is pregnant now, she can't stand the toss, she can't be angry, she just wants to live in peace, but now she can't even achieve this, if she wants to seek peace, she can only go to Aunt Tai's place at present.
In fact, they still have a place to live, last time Changsheng helped the Pei family resolve the crisis, the Pei family gave away the Xie family's other courtyard in the capital and a Zhuangzi in the south of the city, those two places can be lived, I heard that the Xie family's loyal servants who used to guard the courtyard were also bought together to watch the yard, and usually live by planting some vegetables and the monthly money from the Pei family, Mingjing took over after going to see it once, and now they themselves give the family monthly money.
But the caretaker of the courtyard is just an old couple with a simple and honest son, they only live in a few rooms next to the gatehouse, most of the rooms are locked, most of the furniture is lost when raiding the house, the Pei family secretly asked someone to buy the courtyard, for fear of causing trouble, they did not add things, only sent someone to clean up and lock it up.
If they want to move in now, they have to pack up and tidy up for a few days, and they need a large sum of silver to buy things, then a large courtyard, how many people to serve, and they must also buy some capable slaves, cooks, and gardeners, and they can't live without dozens of days of tossing and spending a lot of silver.
Although there is a gift of silver from the Pei family and a sum of money given by Mingche before leaving, the time is too urgent, and the other courtyard has no time to clean up, and they can't live for the time being, even if they live, they won't live there. It really costs a lot to live in, although the Pei family has a lot of money, they can't afford to sit and eat, and the nurses who give birth and raise children after longevity are all a lot of expenses, they don't have to suffer much, and they can't let their children suffer.
The most important thing is that they are worried that the old lady and the Ming and Qing dynasties will know that they are going to fight, or move in together, which will not annoy them. If you don't allow it, you will end up with a grandmother in the hall and live separately for no reason, or you don't take the name of your mother-in-law, so it's better to put it aside and wait for later.
The Zhuangzi in the south of the city has not been occupied for a long time, leaving only one tenant to guard, the furniture and supplies are not complete, and the surrounding garden is rented to the tenants, and now that the harvest season has passed, it is not a good place to go.
In addition, it is far away from the city, and it is inconvenient to do anything, Changsheng has been reacting during pregnancy in the past few days, not to mention picky eaters, and people are also sleepy and weak, so they can't stand too much tossing, so they can only go to Aunt Tai first, and then plan slowly when they settle down. Even if the old lady blames, she can also excuse her frail pregnancy and is not suitable to take the car back to Xie's house, first live in her aunt's place to recuperate, and then go back later, which will naturally block her mouth.
The two hired a carriage outside the county lord's mansion and placed a salute, and walked forward slowly, Mingjing was afraid that Changsheng would be upside down, so they held her shoulders all the way, in fact, the bluestone paving everywhere in the imperial city was extremely flat, and the car was very slow, not bumpy at all, Mingjing was just concerned about chaos.
Changsheng shook his head and smiled faintly, leaned on Mingjing's shoulder and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me." In fact, before I came to the county lord's mansion, I thought that there would probably be such a day when there would be a fallout. But for Shu'er, we have been cautious, and we can endure it as much as we can, always thinking that if we can stay in the county lord's mansion for a while longer, we can protect her for a while longer.
But today I can't bear it anymore, as the saying goes, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated, although we are ordinary people, but we can't be too wronged by ourselves. Shu'er is well-behaved and sensible, Anyang has always been good to her, and I think we can rest assured that she is in the county lord's mansion. ”
Mingjing nodded, secretly thinking that Mo'er should be back soon. turned around and kissed Changsheng's forehead: "Don't worry, there is still me, don't think too much." Let's go, didn't I always say that I would invite you to eat at the end of the building but didn't have a chance, let's go back after eating and buy some things. ”
Of course, Changsheng agreed. The two simply put down their worries, happily went to Xisanfang, which they didn't have time to visit last time, and went to Yaoweilou to order a table of good dishes to eat, bought a few gifts, and had already applied for the beginning (afternoon... More), I drove to my aunt's residence.
When the aunt saw them coming, she was very happy at first, she was here alone, she was fine every day, she was looking forward to her son and daughter-in-law, the two closest people, and she heard that she was pregnant with immortality, and she was even more happy to immediately go to burn incense and kowtow to the Bodhisattva, and then she was busy sending people to arrange dinner and clean up the accommodation, and said that it was not early, and she would not go back at night, and she couldn't wait for them to stay here for a long time and never leave.
In the past, Mingjing occasionally lived ****, but now he hasn't lived for a long time, and Changsheng has never lived once. The residence was prepared by Jiang Yiwen a long time ago for Mingjing to live in when she came to visit Aunt Wu, but in the past, Mingjing lived alone, and tonight it became the bedroom of the husband and wife.
Aunt Tai sat her son on the left, and Changsheng sat on the right, and the dim sum and fruits were placed on the table, and she strongly persuaded Changsheng and Mingjing to eat more, as if they would be hungry.
It wasn't until dinner time that she felt something was wrong: "Why are you here so late today?" Can you stay overnight? Is there something wrong? ”
Changsheng smiled helplessly: "Auntie, we can't live in the county lord's mansion anymore, and we have nowhere to go, so we have to come to you first, auntie, don't bother us."
Aunt Tai was stunned for a moment: "This was originally Jiang Gongzi's place, since you are allowed to live, I can't wait for you to stay and never leave, it is best that we will be together every day in the future and never separate." It's just that the county lord's mansion can't live? But what happened? ”
Mingjing pulled her to sit down: "Auntie, don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just some misunderstanding, I don't want to be wronged for eternity, and I don't want to ask the county lord, so I left." Forget it, let's not talk about her, let's talk about it. Hey, by the way, mother, you quickly tell Changsheng what you need to pay attention to when she is pregnant, I see that her appetite has not been very good recently, what is there to eat in my aunt? ”
Aunt Tai couldn't wait to take care of Changsheng every day, watching her belly grow day by day, until she gave birth to her beloved grandson, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm more nervous about Changsheng than you, what do you need to pay attention to, I will slowly tell her that all I prepare at night is what she likes to eat, and I specially added a few refreshing appetizing side dishes to keep you satisfied."
Changsheng and Mingjing don't care about the future for the time being, and settle down here, as long as they don't think about how to go in the future, the days are really extremely comfortable. Aunt Tai only has a son of Mingjing, no daughter, and can not live with her son and daughter-in-law for a long time, this time I can't wait to make up for all the care and care that I owe, and I care about the pregnant longevity, and I am jealous of Mingjing.
In the afternoon of the second day, Mo'er, who had not flashed for dozens of days, suddenly came to the door, saying that he was looking for Mingjing to have something, although Changsheng wanted to ask him what he was doing during this time, but because of the fatigue during pregnancy, he was too lazy to see people, so he waved his hand to ask Mingjing to ask, and he fell asleep again.
Mingjing went out and asked Mo'er a few words, came in with a strange look, looked at Changsheng mysteriously and strangely, and asked Changsheng puzzledly: "Why are you looking at me like this?" Did I have the inscription on my face? You tell you the truth, what has Mo'er been doing for so long? ”
Mingjing patted her on the shoulder: "Don't ask first, let's sleep, I have something to go out for a while, don't wait for me, go and talk to my aunt when you wake up, she said to start making small clothes in the afternoon." ”
Changsheng always felt that Mingjing had something to hide from her, so he refused to follow, and wanted to get up and go with him, but as soon as he got up, he was dizzy for a while, so he had to lie down again, Mingjing comforted her for a while, and told her aunt to temporarily transfer to serve them Mama Dong to take care of Changsheng, and went out.
He followed Mo'er to a nearby inn with good conditions, came to an upper room on the second floor, pushed open the door, and Huo Ran sat in it the immortal mother Zhou Wang, Mingjing said happily: "Mother-in-law, you are finally here Mo'er said that you have been sick for several days on the road, and you have worked hard."
Then he bowed his head and made a big salute, Zhou Wangshi reached out in a panic to stop it, but he couldn't stop it, so he had to accept the salute and said: "If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid we would not be able to live forever, if I can't find it for a lifetime, I won't be able to feel at ease until I die." Your grandmother also often talked to me, saying that don't lose the daughter of Changsheng, this time she is happy to know that there is news, saying that she can close her eyes when she dies."
Mingjing helped her sit down, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is polite, Changsheng is my wife, you are all my relatives, husband and wife, what you do for her is my business, not to mention to say politely, if things are like that, Changsheng is the first beneficiary, and I am the second beneficiary." ”
After discussing for a while, Mingjing asked Zhou Wang's family to rest for a while, and then asked the shopkeeper to serve with good refreshments, and sent a kind and pleasing rough envoy to serve him, and then went out with Mo'er again.
Half an hour later, the two of them soon came to the back door of the Huai'an Palace, the servants of the palace and the purchasing affairs all walked through this door, and the relatives of the slaves also walked through this door, and the minions guarding the door were all arranged by Princess Jin, but fortunately, these minions did not know Mo'er.
Before the matter was completely determined, Mingjing didn't want to alarm the King of Huai'an and other people in the palace, let alone the princess Jin, so he inquired in advance that there was a most trusted housekeeper daughter-in-law named Bao Niangzi around the concubine Ji, Bao Niangzi sold herself to the Huai'an palace because of poverty in her early years, and her husband was a slave who signed a death deed in the Huai'an palace, and her mother's family lived in a village outside the city.
At his suggestion, Mo'er wore a coarse dress he bought, handed a few money to Menzi, and said with a smile: "Hello eldest brother, I am the younger brother of the maiden family of Princess Ji's side, there is an urgent matter at home and I want to see my sister, I beg the eldest brother to pass it on, for fear that the princess will be taboo, it is good not to let people know quietly."
