In the next few days, Ye Yichen was like a child who got the most beloved toy, and he played hide and seek with the baby in Yulan's belly every day, and he never got tired of playing.

Yulan suddenly discovered that the prince also had such a childish side.

The old lady once again showed his connections and energy in the officialdom, and only ten years after returning to Beijing, the official position of the fourth master was decided, and he was the deputy general manager of the general political envoy. Positive four products.

Compared with the four grades of the local government, the four grades of the Beijing official are equivalent to a small promotion of half a level.

The General Political Envoy Department is not a key department, and there is not much oil and water to fish, but the four products of the Beijing official and the four products of the local officials are completely different. The fourth master could have continued to seek a release, but considering that he was born as a person, in the officialdom, it is a very important hurdle to be promoted from the fourth rank to the third grade, and if he mixes into a third-grade official, he can basically be regarded as a winner in life.

Although the oil and water in the place are relatively large, but the ability of the four masters is there, it is not so easy to make some political achievements, and considering that the son is older, the future of the glorious lintel will focus on cultivating the son, than the educational resources, the place must not be compared with the capital, although the general secretary is not a high authority, but the official affairs are easy, he is a deputy position, and he does not have to take responsibility for problems, and the people who usually come and go are also officials of the six ministries, which is more decent. So the fourth master is very satisfied.

Another important point is that in this position, I just want to intervene in the dispute between the crown prince and King Zhao, and I am afraid that there is no chance.

This is the point of the old lady's consideration.

Xiao Zongchang, the secretary of the ministry, originally wanted to be promoted to the four masters of the card, but who knew that after a round of games, he still did not succeed. Xiao Zongchang was angry enough, he was pressed by the old lady in this position for half his life, and he has always been his subordinate.

Xiao Zongchang was very unconvinced, but no matter how unconvinced he was, there was no way to be inferior to others.

The fourth master's reinstatement was a happy event, and the Yang family only invited relatives and friends to open a dozen tables and celebrate briefly in the house. Ye Yichen asked Ma Fu to personally prepare a gift and send it over, but he didn't worry about Yulan.

During this period, the fourth wife took the six girls to see Yulan once, during this time, whenever the Yang family had any communication, the fourth wife would take Yulian with her, even if she couldn't go, she would ask the eldest wife and the second wife, but whenever the two wives went out to walk, they were called to bring Yulian. can be regarded as a show in the upper circle, so that people know that the Yang family originally had such a daughter in the boudoir.

The fourth wife let out another rumor, saying that her daughter was discussing marriage, hoping that someone who was almost the right person would take the initiative to come to propose marriage.

It's just that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny. There is no one in this circle who is stupid, the girl stayed so big that she didn't even talk about a family affair, if there was no greasy thing in it, who would believe it? Marrying a daughter-in-law is a lifelong thing, if you don't inquire clearly, don't ask the inside story, who dares to settle down casually?

No one came to the door at all.

The fourth wife saw Yulan is face full of sadness, and forced a smile. Yulan is also anxious for her, if the sixth girl can't settle down at such an age, I'm afraid she will have to marry a second-hand goods and fill the house for others.

The fourth wife and Yulan talked for a while, and some wanted to stop talking, seeing Yulan holding a seven-month-old belly, she didn't say anything after all.

Yulan never put the princess on the shelf in front of her mother's family, although the fourth wife was not familiar, she also politely entertained her, beckoned her to have lunch in the palace, and then asked Mother Qian to send the two of them out.

Yulan was attentive to observe, and saw that although the sixth girl was a little shy, she couldn't see anything wrong with her behavior.

The fourth lady came out of the palace with Yulian and got into a carriage with the Yang family logo. The mother-in-law who followed the car was brought by the fourth wife from Shandong, and when she saw the sad look on the fourth wife's face, she knew that today's thing had not been done, and she immediately behaved with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and did not dare to say a word. for fear of upsetting the fourth wife.

When she got into the carriage, Mrs. Fourth sighed: "Hey! She is just a concubine, how can she have such a great blessing to marry the prince and become a concubine! Raise the body, live and move the qi, you look at her style and honor, the people of the palace heard that we are her relatives, that kind of diligence! You are so smart and sensible, which point is worse than her, but why is there so much trouble in marriage? ”

Yulian hurriedly persuaded the fourth wife: "Mother, don't say that." The seventh sister is generous and generous, and she doesn't have a little bit of a stand against relatives like us, she is a serious aunt and grandmother of our family, and she will have to help us in the future, this kind of thing must not be said again in the future!"

The fourth lady sneered: "If she is really a caring person, she should take the initiative today to help you talk about a family business." She looks like a smart person, I don't believe that she doesn't know what the purpose of our visit today is, where is there a son like her who is familiar with the eunuchs who has stayed in the capital all the year round...... And your eldest aunt and second aunt, you are their own niece, and no one is willing to lend a hand! ”

Hearing this, Yulian's eyes were red: "Mother, she has such a big belly, where does she have the energy to tell me about her family, don't talk about it!" Don't ask anyone else! It's all my life! God wants me to never marry for the rest of my life, so I will stay at home and accompany my mother for the rest of my life! As he spoke, tears crackled and fell.

The sixth girl cried, and the fourth wife also cried. "How can I blame you, what does the death of the son of the Li family and the son of the Wang family have to do with you! Don't worry, my mother will definitely pick a good family for you and marry in style! While crying, he took a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.

In June, there were many happy events in the capital, first the grandson of Yang Shoufu, who had already been a scholar, married a young lady from the Korean government, and then there was a marriage that caused a sensation in the city.

The second son of the prince of the romance county, Ye Minchun, who made great contributions to the court at a young age, and won the title of general of Zhenguo, finally got married.

Min Chun's cousin is married to the concubine of Lord Li, the head of the Tobe Shangshu. Ye Minchun is one of the most promising talents in the royal family, and what is even more talked about is Ye Minchun's gentle appearance like jade, the demeanor of a humble gentleman, and Miss Li, the daughter of the household book, is also a beauty in the capital, not only a beauty, but also a talented woman, it is said that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and writes a good handwriting, and poetry and painting are not a problem.

The top and bottom of the Jingshi think that Ye Minchun and Miss Li are talented and beautiful, and they are a match made in heaven. The day before they got married, the Li family carried the dowry to the Yanqing County Palace, and the one hundred and twenty-eight dowries were full, and the front Yi who carried the dowry had already entered the County Palace, and the latter had not yet come out of the Shangshu Mansion.

Ten miles of red makeup, a sensation in the city! It attracted countless passers-by and people to watch.

Legend has it that the head of the household is still in love with his daughter, and Miss Li's dowry is 40,000 taels of silver. Li Shangshu is in charge of Da Chu's money bag, and his family is naturally rich.

The palace of Yanqing County set up a flowing water banquet for three days, and on the day of marriage, almost all the people with heads and faces in the capital came. The prince, King Zhao, and King Lu all came to congratulate Ye Minchun, but the prince's face was somewhat unsightly, and the Hubu Shangshu and the Xiao family were in-laws, and Ye Minchun's family affair showed in a sense that he, the prince's right-hand man, had gradually drifted away from the prince.

In fact, at the beginning, Ye Minchun didn't really want to agree to this family business, he was quite an ancient gentleman, paying attention to one minister and not two masters, Ye Minchun had followed the prince for so many years after all, and now that the prince had lost power, he didn't want to kick the prince aside like this.

It's just that marrying is the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, and there are county kings and princesses pressing him, and he can't agree if he wants to. What's more, he has also seen through it in the past few years, the prince is really not a wise master, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and the prince is like this, that is, a dou who can't be supported. Not only was he mean and unkind, but he often threw him out of the top tank, Ye Minchun was already a little chilled.

So after returning from the northwest, he deliberately studied at home, and if he could not participate in the affairs of the DPRK and China, he would not participate, and deliberately alienated the government.

After a series of complicated procedures, the bride finally married into the door, worshiped the heaven and earth, and sent it into the cave room, Ye Minchun took the scale hook handed over by the bride, and picked up the bride's hijab with her own hands.

Miss Li lowered her head shyly, feeling extremely satisfied. I didn't notice that Ye Minchun's eyes were far away, and he didn't know where he fell, as if he wasn't Miss Li.

After sitting on the bed and drinking the wine, Ye Minchun got up and went out to greet the guests. The bride is indeed a beautiful woman, and her mother has spent a lot of effort to inquire about the bride's character and temperament, and it is expected that this Miss Li will not be much worse no matter how bad she is.

Although it is not what he wants, since he marries home, he will fulfill the responsibility of a husband, respect her and protect her, have children with her, and give her the dignity and dignity of being a wife.

Those thoughts that used to be, he would carefully hide them in the deepest part of his heart, those who were once young and crazy, now that he thinks about it, it turns out to be a different taste in his heart!

Yulan asked someone to prepare a gift in advance and send it over. The gift was carefully selected by her, and she only hoped that this gentle cousin would be able to live with his wife and Meimei from now on, and she didn't think much about anything else, and she didn't have time to think about it. Yulan was seven months pregnant, and Zhang's mother and Li's mother began to get nervous, and it was common for children to be born less than a month old.

What's more, the princess's womb has been unstable, so she began to arrange the delivery room early in the morning. Yulan and Ye Yichen discussed this matter, the ancients thought that production was a filthy thing, so it was necessary to set up another delivery room to give birth to a child. Yulan planned to set up the delivery room in the east ear room of the main courtyard, and Ye Yichen naturally had no opinion.

Yulan personally took the people around him to arrange the delivery room, changed the bedding and bed tent, Yulan opened the warehouse, moved out the screens, Duobao Pavilion, calligraphy and painting ornaments one by one, arranged them according to their own wishes, and called the people in the flower room to send a few pots of chrysanthemums to put inside. After some careful arrangement, the small transept has a new look. Yulan inspected it and felt very satisfied.

When Ye Yichen came back in the evening, Yulan specially led him to see it. Ye Yichen asked in surprise: "Isn't it more than two months before he was born?" ”

Yulan explained to him with a smile: "It is also common for children to be born prematurely, and we can be considered prepared in advance!" ”

Ye Yichen's brows jumped slightly when he heard this, and the smile on his face was a little reluctant. Yulan excitedly pulled him into the ear room, not noticing that there was something wrong with his expression. Ye Yichen didn't pay attention to these daily furnishings and layouts, but this time he accompanied Yulan to look east and west, and put forward a lot of opinions, the couple discussed it, and changed the layout of the delivery room a few times, and then returned to the house.

The weather was already extremely hot, all the windows in the main room were wide open, and the curtain at the door was replaced with a bamboo curtain for Xiangfei, Ye Yichen carefully helped Yulan into the inner room, sat down on the Xiangfei couch, and served the chilled mung bean soup, Ye Yichen drank a bowl before feeling a lot more comfortable.

Ye Yichen was very afraid of the heat, but he didn't dare to use ice in the main room, so he had a hard time in summer.

Yulan pushed him to the clean room to take a bath, "Lord Wang, go and wash it, right?" Look at your face covered in sweat! Ye Yichen smiled and touched her belly: "He is in your stomach today, honest or not?" ”

Yulan smiled and said: "Without you, who is a father, playing with him, I am much more honest today, and I haven't moved a few times at all from morning to now!" ”

Ye Yichen smiled: "What a smart little baby! After touching it for a while, he reluctantly went to the clean room to take a bath. Before leaving, Yulan couldn't help but tell him: "Lord, don't be greedy for cold for a while, and take a bath with cold water." At this time, it is not easy to get better when you get cold! ”

"Zhilu said! Long-winded! Although it was a reproachful tone, it was full of deep pampering. Ever since he took a cool shower, Yulan had nagged him every time. Now that the weather is hot, he washes every day, and Yulan nagged him every day. Ye Yichen originally thought that according to his temper, if he heard too many such words, he would definitely be upset, but who knew that after hearing it so many times, he had never been impatient, but he was very useful in his heart.

It's a really nice feeling to have someone who is thinking about you in every detail.

When Ye Yichen came back from taking a bath, Yulan asked him how the wedding banquet in Yanqing Palace's mansion was, Ye Yichen thought about it and said, "It's not bad, the scene is very big and lively." It's a little worse than when we got married. ”

remembered that the prince went back to attend the wedding of the ancestors, and after he came back, he didn't know what to ask, so Yulan didn't ask him anything. Thinking that Ye Minchun got married, the second sister and the ninth sister would definitely go, and whoever came to see her next time would know all about it if she asked.

Ye Yichen was eating wine in Yanqing Palace, and Yulan had already finished eating with Ye Minwen at home. The two talked for a while, and after the time was over, they went to bed.

After sleeping for only an hour, Ye Yichen was woken up by the heat, and Ye Yichen was already sweating all over his body after sleeping for a while. Yulan was weak, and he didn't even dare to spread a mattress on the bed, he looked at Yulan, who was sleeping soundly, and quietly took out a fan from under the bed to fan.

Yulan turned over and woke up. Seeing Ye Yichen's appearance, she said a little apologetically: "Lord Wang, if it's hot, go to the compartment to sleep, there is ice in that room!" ”

Ye Yichen smiled and said, "You sleep with yours, I'm not hot!" It's just a little depressing this day! In those years, when I fought in the northwest, I survived the conditions that were ten times more difficult than this. What's that? ”

Yulan reached out and touched it, his body was already covered with sweat, and she said suspiciously: "Are you really not hot?" ”

"It's not hot, it's not hot!" Ye Yichen pushed her hand aside, "Don't worry about me." Hurry up and go to sleep, it doesn't matter if you can't sleep well yourself, but don't even worry about my son's bad sleep! ”

Asked him to sleep in the cubicle alone, how could he rest assured that Yulan was like this?

When Yulan heard him say this, she was really a little moved in her heart. "Why don't I ask the maid to bring in a basin of cold water, and you can wipe your body with cold water?"

This Ye Yichen did not refuse. After a while, the girl on duty at night came in with water, and Yulan waited for him to wipe his body. Ye Yichen wiped his body with cold water, and then fell asleep again, and woke up several times in one night.

Just after drinking Minchun's cousin's wedding wine, the eldest lady was busy showing Chengzong Xiangxiang's family affairs, and the old lady suddenly proposed that Chengzong return to his hometown to worship his ancestors on behalf of the Yang family. The old lady said this suddenly, and Chengzong was also in a hurry, so he packed his luggage the next day, put on the silver, and went on the road with only two small servants.

Ye Yichen had already greeted the Ministry of War, and prepared for Chengzong the Kanhe of the Ministry of War, and he could use the post station of the Ministry of War for free all the way. He left in a hurry, but when he left the capital, he slowed down, and he was not in a hurry at all to inspect and travel everywhere, inspect the customs and customs, and would also take the old lady's post to visit the local famous scholars and scholars, and he would linger for a long time everywhere.

The news was transmitted back to the Jin Palace, but Yulan had already prepared, and had sent a small servant to Chengzong to send the ceremony. With the face of the old lady and the face of Ye Yichen, no matter where Chengzong goes, Wen's martial arts should be able to eat, and Yulan is not worried about him too much.

It is absolutely necessary to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and it is absolutely necessary for Chengzong to travel to various places before entering the official career to increase his experience and knowledge. Yulan is also very much in favor of the old lady's far-sighted arrangement.

It's up to Seongjong to learn from this trip!

The eldest lady was flashed for no reason. She was enthusiastically telling Chengzong about her family affairs, but the master suddenly said to leave. The old lady hinted that Chengzong's family affairs could be talked about later. The eldest lady felt that she had been busy with all the work in front of her, and that she had done all the useless work.

Although the old lady is no longer an official, the eldest lady still doesn't dare to disobey him, and she just complains a few words in her heart.

She and the eldest master don't even say anything when they meet now, and she really can't do anything at home now except to deal with the affairs of the inner house. When she was bored, the eldest girl Yumu came back from Zhuangzi.

As soon as Yumu returned to Ji'anhou's Mansion, he said that he was not feeling well, so he invited a doctor to come and see him, and he had been diagnosed for three months. Although Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, did not serve in the court, he was extremely shrewd, and immediately understood Yumu's motives.

What ran to Zhuangzi to escape the summer, it was obvious that he went to fix the fetus, although he was slightly dissatisfied with Yumu's fact that she even hid her husband from her own pregnancy, his wife was pregnant, and he was still very happy. If Yu Mu can get a man in one fell swoop, the inheritance problem of the Hou Mansion will be solved in the future.

He sighed and said, "Why do you do this? ”

Yumu lowered her head and did not speak. Lu Zhongheng looked at his wife's somewhat haggard face, thinking that she was pregnant and had lived in Zhuangzi for so long, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and sighed: "That's it, I used to think that I was born to a mother and a mother with him, so I wouldn't make such a fuss, and I didn't have to make others laugh." The Hou Mansion was inherited by me again, and he didn't have an official position, so I don't know what the future of Lu Dao will be, so I will try my best to let him. But whenever he makes a little move, I just don't see it, I can endure it, let it go, I didn't expect them to have to inch in to such a point......"

Yu Mu naturally knew that he in Lu Zhongheng's mouth was the second master of the Lu family, and the younger brother of his mother.

Lu Zhongheng frowned and sighed silently. "Now that I'm back, I'll have a good baby at home. Don't worry, I'm here, no one can harm our children! ”

Hearing this, Yu Mu's eyes were slightly wet, after waiting for so many years, she never dared to say a bad word about the second master and the second wife in Lu Zhongheng, just for fear of ruining the relationship between the husband and wife. She waited for Lu Zhongheng to wake up and figure out the trick herself. Now it seems that she has finally waited for this day.

She held back the joy in her heart: "Master, whatever you say, I will listen to you!" ”

Yumu's mother-in-law also sent her mother-in-law to see when she got the news, and brought a large bag of things, but after the mother-in-law left, Yumu said to the nurse: "Put away these things, let's just keep them, just don't use them." "The nurse has been following Yumu for so long, and the situation in the Hou Mansion is naturally clear.

The old lady had already been coaxed by the second wife, although she should not have killed her grandson like two hundred and five, but she was not sure that the second wife of the housekeeper would not start in advance in these medicinal materials.

The nurse nodded knowingly and put these precious medicinal materials into the warehouse.

The news was transmitted back to the Yang family, and the eldest lady was so happy that she didn't know how to do it. She has had such two biological daughters in her life, and all of them married into Gaomen as she wished, but none of the two daughters had a smooth life. She was also anxious.

She asked Mother Wu, who came to report the good news, with a look of surprise: "What did you say, I heard it right?" ”

Mother Wu's face was full of smiles: "I heard it right, I heard it right!" My aunt and grandmother sent my mother-in-law to report the good news to you, saying that my aunt and grandmother had diagnosed the happy pulse, and it has been three months! ”

"Amitabha! What a bodhisattva bless! "The eldest lady couldn't help but be overjoyed!
