Chapter 349~350: Going Home
Seven catties were just in Jiang Wei's arms, and she didn't even get acquainted with it, so she was taken away by the nurse in a panic. Even if she was not born to Jiang Yan, this scene was really sad, thinking of her son who was already one year old but couldn't stay by her side, she suddenly felt angry in her heart that she couldn't break the little emperor's neck.
"The emperor is really distressed about seven catties, the child is small, and he is afraid that if he doesn't eat enough, he won't grow strong enough, but I see that seven catties are fat and fat, and the emperor really doesn't have to worry about this."
"My sister handed Brother Chong'er over to me, I naturally want to take care of it, these nurses are carefully selected by the Milk Bureau, the body is the most healthy, and I take care of Brother Chong'er with all my heart, if I don't do my heart, I will be the first to bypass them."
"The concubine has to thank the emperor. However, the emperor is the Son of Heaven in the end, his heart is in the world, his ambitions are in all directions, and his mind is not used in this inner palace for court affairs. The concubine looked at Qijin and saw A-Ying's appearance, obviously she was scared and crying. If it is not yet the time to breastfeed, please ask the emperor to issue a decree, so that the nurse does not have to be forcefully fed, and it is not good for the child to eat if it hurts. β
Anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on, but who dares to say it in front of the emperor? Huo Jiujiu had always known that Jiang Wei had a strong temperament, but she was not a reckless person, and it was unwise to go toe-to-toe with the emperor at this time. But in the end, he underestimated the heart of a mother, and pregnant women are more likely to be emotional.
Seeing that the emperor's face was pale, as if he had swallowed a bowl of Coptis chinensis in one go, Huo Shijiu originally wanted to dissuade Jiang Yu from giving the emperor compensation again, but he turned around in his mouth and swallowed it again. just silently stood beside Jiang Yan and supported her, worried that she would be annoyed and bumping into her.
The little emperor didn't hear Huo Shijiu reprimand Jiang Yu, and his heart was already extremely unbalanced. In the past, Huo Nineteen would rather have wronged anyone, including himself. will not be wronged by him. Why is this the case today? Could it be that he still acquiesced to Jiang Wei to choke him?
Perhaps, from the very beginning, Huo Shijiu was quite angry with him for carrying Huo Chong into the palace, but he just kept silent.
It turns out that even if he is the most trusted Ruhuo Nineteen in the world, he is not willing to dedicate all of them to him!
If it weren't for the fact that his body was too bad to have children, why would he rob his son? When he likes to hold other people's healthy children all day long, but his own children are as weak as a little frozen cat?
The little emperor's grievances turned into resentment.
Before he could open his mouth to reprimand, Jiang Wei had tears in her eyes and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the mansion is too deserted now. You rewarded A-Ying with such a big house, but now there are only a few people living in it, once the house was lively, there were cheerful parents-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, and just born six catties, a big family is lively, every scenery is joyful. But now? A-Ying and I didn't even dare to go to the upper house where our parents used to live, to walk around the back garden, and to see the vegetable patches that my father had planted. I didn't dare to look at the free-range chickens and ducks. β
though the people are all well, they are heading south. A few days ago, I brought back a letter to keep me safe, but Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu were in the mansion, and they really felt lonely. It was her words that moved her true feelings.
The little emperor's resentment was completely dissipated by this remark. I only felt that my face was hot, as if I was caught stealing candy when I was a child, and my father was concerned about his tooth decay......
"Sister, you ......"
"Your Majesty, why don't you be kind and allow me and A-Ying to take the seven catties back to live for a while?" Jiang Yu held back her tears and squeezed out a smile that was more desolate than crying: "There is no one in the house, if A-Ying and I have children by our side, we can feel a little comforted in our hearts." Look at Qijin and the emperor are so close, the concubine knows that the emperor really loves him, and he is favored when he is his own son, but she also implores the emperor to cut his love and allow Qijin to come back. Otherwise, every day will be lifeless, like a day like it will rain, and people will be overwhelmed. β
If Jiang Yu is disrespectful in the slightest, the little emperor can find an excuse to refute it, but she asks him like this, and every word is reasonable. The little emperor himself was weak-hearted, and he had been worried that Huo Shijiu knew the truth about the interception and killing of the Huo family, and at this time, she mentioned this matter and said this, which really made him have to think about it in this regard.
And if you stand in the perspective of Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wei, your relatives are all lost overnight, and Huo Shijiu is such a loyal and filial person, it is impossible not to lose it in your heart. In addition, when Fang Cai faced Wen Da Jiahui in the imperial study, he fought the basis of reason, and it was all up to Huo Shijiu to help him get those "civilians" back from the hands of the Jin Guoren, and he didn't make too much trouble.
Wouldn't it be chilling for such a person who was affectionate and righteous to him to not even say the words of returning the child to him when his family was completely lost?
But he can't have children, Brother Ling doesn't know if he can live, how can he really return Huo Chong, and there will be no successor in the future?
When the little emperor was in a dilemma, he hesitated, but he gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Actually, my sister doesn't say it, I also have this idea in my heart." It's just that I was busy with state affairs before, and there was a British affair sideways, so I was upset, so I put this idea on hold for the time being, and today you just brought it up, so it's better to take advantage of this moment, and you can take Brother Chong'er back. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Yu was grateful, hurriedly saluted, and walked quickly to the side hall.
Huo Jiujiu didn't expect Jiang Fei to be able to turn around and ask for seven catties back, maybe there is a destiny in the dark, and God is always arranging coincidences?
Huo Shijiu also couldn't suppress his joy, and his eyebrows were full of joy: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion." β
The little emperor finally saw a little smile on Huo Shijiu's face, which had been mostly sad for the past few days, and his heart was also a lot more comfortable, he sighed and said with a smile: "Brother Ying, why be polite. Today's events are also thanks to your quick response. The old thief still boasted of his ability, didn't the people of Jin still not give him half face. β
"That's the minister's luck. Just grasp the crux of the problem in order to get people back. According to the ministers, these people should also be well guarded and interrogated. β
"What you say is that I have arranged for a competent person to do this. Let's just wait for the news. β
Huo Jiujiu understood that the little emperor was asking those people he was secretly trying to interrogate those five people. At the moment, he only laughed and did not speak.
Just entered the palace, Huo Shijiu and Jiang Yuyin came separately in two carriages. Now out of the palace. But two more cars were added. The little emperor sent four nurses who were accustomed to serving seven catties to continue to serve, and the car carried seven catties of clothing in the palace.
Jiang Yu was holding the child, and this little rattle coaxed him to play. Xu is born motherhood, maybe the child is still young, and when he sees that he is really good to him, he naturally depends on him, for example, when he was in the palace, he was already very dependent on Jiang Yu at the moment, and his narrow and upturned eyes smiled into a line. looks cute and cute, grabbing Jiang Yan's sleeve with her little hand, and calling in a milky voice: "Mother." "I will also say some overlapping sounds that Jiang Wei doesn't understand, but they are very cute.
Jiang Yu took his little hand and grabbed Huo Nineteen's fingers: "Good boy, good girl, this is your father, called Daddy." Tell my mother, Daddy, Daddy. β
"Daddy, no, no." Qijin looked at Huo Nineteen and shook his head very seriously and waved his hand. It seems to be suing Jiang Yu that it is not his father.
Jiang Yu picked him up and patted his little buttocks. "He's a father, and the one in the palace is an uncle."
"Uncle?" Qijin blinked curiously.
"yes, that's why he's your daddy."
"Okay, girl, you're heavy, don't be tired." Huo Shijiu took the seven catties and said with a smile: "The child is still young, just teach it slowly in the future." β
"That's right." Jiang Yu lowered her voice and said, "You said that in this way, can our family come back with seven catties?" β
Huo Nineteen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't answer immediately, just smiled.
Qijin sat on Huo Nineteen's arms, and was a little afraid of life at first, but Huo Nineteen talked to him gently, and played rattle with him, and the child immediately liked it, although he was not called Huo Nineteen's father, but he also liked to nest in his arms.
Along the way, laughter was heard from the carriage. Cao Yu, who was riding forward beside the carriage, couldn't help but smile.
If Jiang Yu knew that she would soon be able to see the real seven catties, she didn't know what she would be happy about.
Back in the house, Jiang Yu instructed people to arrange a place to live, and took seven catties to take a bath and settle down.
After a busy afternoon, and in the evening, after dinner, she sat a little tired under the porch on a soft pillow and talked to the four young daughters-in-law who were standing in the courtyard with their heads bowed.
"You are all from the palace, and you have some grievances when you follow me to take care of Xiao Shizi, and I know it in my heart."
"Madame has tormented the slave. Being able to serve the little prince is a blessing that the slaves and maids cultivated in their previous lives. β
Jiang Yu just smiled and said, "I know you are dedicated, and that child can grow so well thanks to you." In the future, when you come to my Huo family, you will be a member of the Huo family, and I will not treat anyone who is loyal to the Huo family. β
The implication is that if you have a little bit of external care, I am afraid that it is not as simple as "not being treated".
In their minds, the beautiful and lovely lady in front of them is a legendary, obviously the daughter of a civil minister, but she has a good martial arts. is obviously the daughter of Qingliu, but she married a traitor. Obviously, the husband is a powerful traitor who leans towards the government and the opposition, but now it seems that it is a big misunderstanding, and how many people in this world can be nobler than the emperor and the Marquis of Jinning? No matter who Xiao Shizi is their child, this one in front of him is a master who can't be blamed, don't say that she kills people with sharp eyes, just say that she only needs to say a little to the emperor or the Marquis of Jinning that they are not good, and they are afraid that the whole family will be buried together.
At this time, several nurses did not dare to slack off, and knelt down in unison to salute: "Thank you, madam." β
Jiang Yu bowed her head and ordered them to go down.
Covering her mouth and yawning, Jiang Yu sat up straight and said, "Listen to the rain, what time is it?" β
"I just got the key, what's the matter, is Madam sleepy?"
"Hmm. It's not too late for me to look at the sky, maybe I'm tired today. I'll go and take a nap first, and when the Hou Ye comes back, you remember to call me. β
"Yes."
Listening to the rain, he served Jiang Yuhui in the bedroom, and then lay down on the soft couch near the window, and took a soft gauze quilt to put on her abdomen, but heard the sound of intricate footsteps under the corridor, and the voice of the little girl came: "Madam, Cao Gongzi ordered to come, because it was inconvenient to come in, I ordered the maid to come and ask Mrs. to show me." β
In the summer, she was thinly dressed, even though the night was not as poisonous as the daytime, Jiang Yan's bedclothes were still spacious gauze clothes, and she only wore the main waist and long skirt, and her skin was looming. It was because Cao Yu would never come to the inner house when Huo Shijiu didn't return to the inner house. Even if he comes, he is just a dutiful guard, and there will be no transgression.
Jiang Yu raised her eyes lazily when she heard this. "Go and invite Cao Gongzi. Listen to the rain. Take the azure gauze jacket. Get me another hairpin. β
Listen to the rain and answer. Waiting for Jiang Yu to put on a long cyan coat with wide flowers on the snow-white skirt of her bedclothes, and pulled her long hair into a simple hairpin with a silver hairpin. As soon as he moved, he heard Cao Yu's voice outside: "Madam." β
"Ink dye." Jiang Yu responded, took a fan and came out of the curtain, and saw Cao Yu standing under the Danqi with a smile on her face.
"What's the matter, what's the good thing to laugh like this?"
Cao Yu shook his head and said in a low voice: "It was Master Hou who ordered me to pick you up and take you outside, saying that he had prepared a surprise for you." β
Surprise?
Jiang Wei raised her eyebrows: "Okay." What the hell are you two doing? β
"Madame, come with me."
Cao Yu turned around and left.
Jiang Yu and Tingyu followed.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Cao Yu said without replying: "Listen to the rain and stay." β
Listening to the rain was surprised, she was originally worried about Jiang Yu, but when she heard Cao Yu say this, she couldn't force her to follow, so she had to hesitate and retreat.
Jiang Yu felt more and more strange, followed Cao Yu for a distance, and got into a small sedan chair. The two mothers-in-law who carried the sedan chair seemed to have some kung fu on their bodies, and they lifted the sedan chair quickly and steadily. Cao Yu accompanied Jiang Yan, carefully keeping her safe. I didn't go to the front yard, but to the side door near the kitchen. went directly out of the Hou Mansion. When I arrived at the gate of the house, there was naturally a small carriage parked there.
Jiang Yuqi said: "What's the matter? Where is this going? β
"Madame gets in the car first, and I'll talk later."
Cao Yu helped Jiang Yu get into the car, and then drove the car outside by himself and went to the back alley quickly.
After leaving the Hou Mansion for a distance, the pace slowed down, and while letting the carriage move smoothly, Cao Yu said in a low voice: "Just now, I have already asked people to open their eyes near the side door. β
"Mysterious, where are you going?" Jiang Yu trusted Cao Yu, of course she wouldn't think in a bad direction, she was just curious why they wanted to take advantage of this meeting.
Cao Yu just smiled mysteriously and didn't answer.
Jiang Yu and Cao Yu both knew six people, the carriage traveled a distance, and after making sure that the head did not follow the tail, Cao Yu began to drive the carriage back, and came to an alley next to Shichahai through the streets and alleys, and slowly stopped the carriage. And the distance from the Hou Mansion here is very close, just just a car around in circles.
Cao Yuxu helped Jiang Yu get out of the carriage, and led her to the alley: "There is a small mansion here, which was bought by the Hou Ye in the past, which was originally kept for appreciation, but now it has come in handy, and no one else knows here, and the beauty wants to get the dignified Jinning Hou will have a mansion here, and it is still so small." β
As he spoke, he came to a closed door with peeling black paint, and knocked rhythmically a few times.
There was a creak, and the door was pushed open, but it was a familiar face.
"Are you...... Sister-in-law Zhang? Jiang Yu was stunned.
The appearance of the woman in front of her was specially imprinted in her mind, and she could never forget it for the rest of her life, it was he who followed Cao Yu's master Du Duojiang and took her seven catties away!
"Madame, come in and speak."
Jiang Yu entered the courtyard in a trance, and Sister-in-law Zhang helped her to go to the upper room, while Cao Yu carefully checked the door and made sure that there was nothing unusual before following up.
"Why are you here? Could it be? β
"Madame, you'll know when you enter the house."
Pushing open the half-old door and lifting the blue cloth soft curtain, Jiang Yan was seeing Huo Shijiu and Du Duojiang sitting at the square table eating tea and talking, while Huo Shijiu was sitting on his lap a little boy wearing a blue cloth jacket and combing a pigtail, dressed like an ordinary peasant baby.
The thick eyebrows, the big almond eyes that followed her, and the corners of the mouth that curved when she laughed......
"Seven pounds!"
Jiang Yu burst into tears of excitement, and she didn't dare to approach for a while, for fear of scaring the child.
Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and went to pick up Huo Chong in Huo Shijiu's arms and hugged her to Jiang Yu: "Chong'er, call your mother quickly." He also explained to Jiang Wei: "Afraid of attracting attention outside, Mr. Du made the decision to change the child's nickname to Chong'er, and he has always been called this way these days." β
Huo Chong's big black eyes as bright as ink jade blinked, as if he was looking at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Wei's sad tears rained down, what should I do, I haven't seen her these days, and the child doesn't recognize her!
Huo Jiujiu was distressed when he saw Jiang Yu crying, and was about to comfort him, but he heard a milky voice: "Daddy." β
Huo Chong stretched out two chubby little hands from Sister-in-law Zhang's arms. twisted her body in the direction of Jiang Yan. "Daddy. Hugs, hugs, daddy hugs! β
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then held the child in her arms, crying silently with her face against his little face.
It's her baby! You can't go wrong! Because she wanted to make Huo Jiujiu happy, she first taught the child to speak by teaching him to call "Daddy", hoping that Huo Jiujiu would be happy when she heard it, but who knew that the child would call her Daddy as soon as he saw her. When he was taken away, he was crying and calling her father! At the time, she was still thinking that such a young child would not remember anything at all. The next time we see her, I may not know her at all.
Unexpectedly, he still called her like that!
Although it was called wrong, there is a lot of time to correct it in the future, as long as this fragrant and soft little baby is in her arms!
Huo Chong smelled the familiar fragrance, and drilled into Jiang Yu's arms vigorously, babbling something he didn't understand.
Jiang Yu couldn't stop crying more and more. Holding the child and kissing and kissing. Sister-in-law Zhang, who was watching on the side, smiled and wiped her tears.
Huo Jiujiu hugged Jiang Yu and the child, and comforted: "Okay, okay, it's good that Chong'er still recognizes you, and calls you father, I will only cry when I see my father." Do you know how hard I just wasted to keep this little guy in my arms? β
Such a resentful tone......
Jiang Yu sneered.
Huo Jiujiu took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "I'm crying and laughing." Aren't you a madman, I have to tell Brother Chong'er to stay away from you, a crazy woman. β
"Who is the crazy woman?" Jiang Yu hugged Huo Chong and left, and when Huo Shijiu couldn't react, Jiang Yu was already sitting on the kang in the middle with the child.
Huo Jiujiu couldn't cry or laugh, "How many times have you said it, you settle down and take care of your body!" β
Although Jiang Yan's eyes were red and swollen from crying, she said with a smile: "I said, no one can snatch my family Chong'er away." Isn't it? He kissed Huo Chong's forehead.
Du Duojiang looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mo Dye has accepted a good apprentice, how can he remember to accept an apprentice?" β
"Master......" Cao Yu's face turned red, "I'm just learning martial arts with my wife, and I can't be considered an apprentice." β
"Really? Looking at her footwork, she has integrated this light skill with what she has learned, if she only learns martial arts, it can only show that Mrs. Jinninghou is a very talented genius, and she can learn without a teacher. β
Cao Yu's face was already red into a boiled crab, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Huo Shijiu originally knew that Jiang Yu was powerful, but because he didn't know martial arts, he didn't have an exact understanding of her Cheng dΓΉ, and now he heard Du Duojiang say this, only to know that his daughter-in-law was such a tall Cheng dΓΉ, no wonder his honest father said that Jiang Yu was a man at every turn......
Du Duojiang shook his head and said: "It's a pity, Mrs. Jinning Hou has no internal strength, if you have the heart to strive for perfection and follow the old man for three and five years of hard work, you don't have to achieve great success, and ink dyeing is not your opponent." β
Jiang Yu was stunned when she heard this, and stood up and saluted: "Thank you Mr. Du for your great kindness, if Mr. Wu had not acted righteously, where would Ah Ying and I be at ease for such a long time, and now Chong'er is still taken care of so well, I really don't know how to thank you." β
"No thanks, I'm also for my stupid apprentice. If you say thank you, if you are willing to ask Chong'er to worship me as a teacher, so that I can have a successor to what I have learned, this matter will be even if we are even. β
The last time they met, Du Duojiang expressed this meaning, and Cao Yu even said that Du Duojiang took a fancy to the little apprentice with Qijia, and he didn't expect to be so outspoken today.
If it is left by outsiders, I am afraid that I will not be able to ask Zhisuo to take over the territory as a subordinate, but such a good thing is said to be a request by Du Duojiang.
It can be seen that her child's roots are indeed very good, or what other unacceptable steps are needed for apprenticeship?
"Mr. Du, I see that what Mo Dye has learned has reached the perfect realm, and it would be an exaggeration to say that he wants to rely on dogs to inherit the mantle."
"Although the ink dye is extremely talented, it is not as good as Chong'er, how about it, Mrs. Jinninghou can be regarded as agreeing, right?"
Jiang Yu groaned and said, "I can't wait for it, it's just that I'm worried that Chong'er won't like to learn martial arts in the future, and we will impose martial arts on him...... Since the child has come into this world, I only want him to be happy and happy for a lifetime, and I do not want the things I have imposed on him to become a burden and a burden to him. β
Du Duojiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed: "What you say is similar to the meaning of my old man in the past, but how do you know that I only have martial arts to teach Chong'er?" What I'm going to teach him is exactly what the elm head can't learn. β
Mo Ran nodded again and again: "My master is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and he is very strategic, I can't learn this, and Chong'er may not be able to." β
Huo Shijiu immediately said: "In this way, in the next generation of dogs, thank Mr. Du, he will be older, and he will definitely ask him to personally give you a great gift." (To be continued......)
