Chapter 377: Interesting Facts in Beijing (I)
Li Huanting only felt more comfortable and warm at home than at any time, and she was so happy that it was difficult to eat a bite of food at the border and the general's mansion, but when she returned to her parents' house, she felt that the taste of this meal was not annoying.
At the dinner table, Li Huanting rarely drank a few mouthfuls of chicken soup, and ate two bites of winter melon and fried eggs, and even Chen Li and Xiaoyu were a little surprised.
Chen Li said: "Madame's appetite is much better, it seems that the food here is still Madame's appetite!"
Xiaoyu also said: "Yes! When Madame is at home, she vomits whatever she smells, and she can't eat anything! Even drinking goat's milk and bean juice feels weird!"
Li Huanting herself felt so, and said to everyone: "It's strange to say, since I came home, I feel that this Xixi's body is much better, and my body is not so uncomfortable!"
Mrs. Li listened to it and said with a smile: "It seems that the mother prays in front of the Bodhisattva every day to bless you and the child in your belly, and now, the Bodhisattva has appeared!"
Li Dazai also said, "In that case, let's stay at home for a few more days!" You haven't come back a lot, so you can spend time with your father and mother, chat, and your mother can take care of you! After all, you're the first child, you don't have much experience!"
Li Huanting listened, looked at Chen Li, and Chen Li said to Li Dazai and Mrs. Li: "Madame and I go back, I will definitely do my best to take care of her, but if my father-in-law and mother-in-law miss Huanting, then let her stay at her mother's house for a few days, and when Wanting wants to go back, I will pick her up again!"
Mrs. Li said with a smile: "This is very good, Chen Li, you don't have to rush to pick up Huanting, just let her stay in her mother's house!"
The feast dispersed, Li Huanting stayed at her parents' house, preparing to stay for a while, and Xiaoyu naturally accompanied Li Huanting in Dazaifu.
Chen Li went back to the General's Mansion alone.
Li Huanting and her mother haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have endless words.
At night, Li Huanting sat on the kang and ate sour apricots, one after another, as if she had a great appetite.
Mrs. Li embroidered baby tiger pillows and tiger head shoes for the child in her daughter's belly.
Seeing her daughter's appetite, on the one hand, she was happy, and on the other hand, her daughter told her son, "Eat less, beware of eating too much, and you won't be able to sleep!"
Li Huanting said with a smile: "Mother, I have slept well recently!" I was very sleepy for most of the day, and I woke up wanting to eat snacks, and I didn't know what was wrong with me, I thought it was the child in my stomach who wanted to eat it!"
Mrs. Li listened, nodded and said with a smile: "No, it must be my unborn little grandson who wants to eat it!" Tomorrow, I will ask the housekeeper to buy chicken and stew chicken soup for you to drink, only in this way can I help you replenish your body, and then you can have the strength to produce!"
Li Huanting listened, smiled and said: "Mother, now this child is only two months old, and the woman is ten months pregnant, if you want to give birth, you must get eight months later!"
Mrs. Li said: "So, you have to make up for your body from now on, you have to learn to be thoughtful, and you will eat and replenish when you are about to give birth, then it will be too late!"
Li Huanting listened to it and felt that it made sense, after all, her mother was the one who came over, so she nodded and smiled: "My daughter knows, I'm afraid, when the time comes, my daughter will become a big fat man, and my mother will probably dislike her daughter!"
Mrs. Li put down the needlework in her hand, looked at her daughter's slightly bulging lower abdomen, took her daughter's hand again, and said with a smile: "No matter what her daughter becomes, she will never dislike her daughter!" Just ......"
"Just what?!" Li Huanting asked.
Mrs. Li said in a low voice: "You are pregnant now, and there are still eight months before you can give birth, will Chen Li ...... him?"
"What will be?!" Li Huanting asked puzzled.
Mrs. Li sighed and said, "You kid, you're about to become a mother, why don't you understand some things!" Mother is saying, you don't let go and sleep together, Chen Li won't take this opportunity to fill in the house, or take a concubine, right?!"
Li Huanting listened, with a sour apricot in her mouth, she leaned on her mother with tears and laughter, and then smiled and continued to eat her sour apricots.
Seeing that her daughter didn't care so much and didn't take this kind of thing to heart, Mrs. Li said angrily: "You kid, don't take it seriously!" Although you are his wife and are of noble birth, men can't keep it, what if he can't hold on one day?!"
Li Huanting knew that Chen Li just wouldn't.
He comforted his mother and said, "Mother, don't worry! Husband, he is not that kind of person, in addition to being busy with state affairs all day long, he is sent by mad dogs beside His Majesty, where does he have the time and energy to mess with flowers and grass! Besides, even if it weren't, he ...... Not that kind of person!"
Mrs. Li frowned and said, "Who is he?" Do you really know that well? When I first married your father, I was also a young lady of the Hou Mansion, and he repeatedly promised me, but later when I was pregnant with your brother, I ......"
"Oops! Mother, you have told your daughter many times, the father got drunk and pampered a sweeping girl in the house, but then didn't the mother also make the decision to send the sweeping girl to the countryside to farm! After so many years, Daddy doesn't dare to say anything!" Li Huanting took her mother's words and continued.
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "That's right, it wasn't my negligence at the beginning, so I let that scheming girl take advantage of the loophole, fortunately, she didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter for your father, so ah, this daughter should still plan for herself early!"
Li Huanting thought of Chen Li, he loves and hates so clearly, and he is a person who is measured in his work, how can he come indiscriminately!
Then he comforted his mother: "Mother, my husband won't, I promise you!"
Later, he told his mother that the emperor gave his child the name 'Zhonghao', and told his mother that he had done a child.
When Mrs. Li heard this, she smiled happily at her daughter and said: "From this point of view, this is the blessing of this child, you have to raise this child carefully, and in the future, Bao Buqi is also a handsome talent!"
Li Huanting listened to it and said: "But my husband hopes to be a person who is rich and knowledgeable!"
"It's all good, it's all good, whether it's learning literature or martial arts, it's all good! Being able to serve the country is his blessing and yours!" Mrs. Li said, holding her daughter's hands.
Li Huanting then said to her mother: "Since this child is a beneficiary, then ask my mother to think of a milk name for this child!"
Mrs. Li listened, thought about it, and thought that since this child was only born when her daughter and son-in-law went to the border, and she was so blessed, she said to Li Huanting: "It's better to call it 'Fu'er'!" May he be blessed all his life!"
Li Huanting listened, nodded and smiled, and said: "This name is good, Fu'er, the meaning of blessing!"
Then he said to the child in the womb: "Child, you will be called Fu'er in the future, and the big name will be called Zhonghao!"
Then he said to his mother: "Mother, I will be bored if I stay at home alone, I have been away from Jiankang City for so long, the princess and Miss Qingwen have not seen each other for a long time, I want to call someone to invite them to the house tomorrow!"
Mrs. Li said, "Okay! Just let the princess talk to you about how this woman feels about giving birth!"
On the second day. The family went to the princess's mansion to deliver a letter, and then went to Meng Xiang and Chenyu's mansion to deliver a letter.
Near noon, Xiao Huan, Liansheng, and Qingwen all came to Dazaifu to visit Li Huanting together.
Xiao Huan saw Li Huanting and said happily: "General's wife, congratulations!" I didn't expect to see you for months, and now you have become two people!"
Li Huanting smiled: "Princess, don't make fun of me, I've been to the border for so long, and the princess doesn't say she misses me?!"
Xiao Wan smiled: "You say so, but you have wronged others, I politely often talk to you, but I know that you are at the border, and I want to write to you from time to time, and I am afraid that you will miss Jiankang, so I simply wait for you to come back, and then catch up with you." No, I heard that you are very happy, I brought the sour, sweet, salty, and spicy ones from the house, and let you choose!"
Xiaoyu said on the side: "Madam, the princess has brought you sour plums, sour apricots, sour grapes, spicy meat foam, all kinds of sweet snacks, and many kinds of pickles!"
Li Huanting listened to it and said to Xiao Huan: "Oops! You really moved all the delicious food in your own house here, and I annoy you carefully!"
Xiao Wan listened, pursed her lips and said, "Lu Yan? He won't! These days, he is always very busy, three meals a day, and he doesn't eat at home! Go outside often! I don't know what I'm up to?!"
Qingwen listened to it and said, "Meng Xiang has been very busy recently, and he often doesn't come back until night!"
Lian Sheng said: "I thought that only Qin Tianjian was busy, but I didn't expect that Duo Ah and Master Meng were also so busy!"
The men then looked at each other.
Xiao Wan said: "This ...... It doesn't make sense that these people are so busy at the same time! Could it be that these people are hiding something from us?!"
Li Huanting heard this and said with a smile: "Princess, I think you are suspicious, a person with a good temper like the horse master must be busy with state affairs, the princess should not be suspicious of the horse master!"
Xiao Wan shook her head and said to a few people: "That's not necessarily, as the saying goes, honest people may not be honest, although the master of the horse looks honest, he may not be bewitched by others, or he is confused for a while, and he doesn't want me to know what he does!"
When Qingwen heard this, she also frowned, and said, "I'm afraid it won't!" Princess, when you say that, I'm starting to worry too!"
The rest of Liansheng and Li Huanting looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.
Xiao Wan looked at Liansheng and Li Huanting, and said: "But you two should rest assured, this national teacher is the most serious, otherwise after being in the palace for so long, he still obeys the rules and understands the etiquette of the palace maid, Chen Li naturally doesn't need to say it, His Majesty often says that he is the most similar to himself, so there will be no problem!"
"Thank you, princess, for your kind words!" Liansheng said to Xiao Huan.
"You don't have to thank me, you should thank you for marrying a good husband!" Xiao Wan replied.
"This master and Master Meng are naturally righteous men and gentlemen, and they will definitely not go to some fireworks and willow lanes!" Li Huanting said to Xiao Wan and Qingwen.
Xiao Wan retorted: "Who said that they must have gone to the hook fence, this could also be gambling and doing other things!"
When several people heard this, they all looked at Xiao Wan and said in surprise: "Gambling money?!"
Then Xiao Wan whispered to a few people: "You don't know, do you...... I've heard that a new casino has opened in Jiankang City, and there are many dignitaries among the people who go there! "
Li Huanting said: "But even so, will Master Ma and Master Meng go to gamble?"
Xiao Wan sighed and said: "All the accounts and expenditures of the princess's mansion and the Lu mansion are under my control, and the horse master does not have a lot of money, to be honest, if he really goes to the casino to gamble with others, I am not surprised!"
Qingwen was also worried: "In our house, although the money, the house deed, and the title deed are all under my control, Meng Xiang will not be in charge of it...... Go gamble! Gambling for officials is a violation of the law!"
"Then in that case, why don't we take a look and send someone to investigate?!" Xiao Wan said.
When Lian Sheng heard this, he didn't agree, and said, "This is not very good, if you tell Master Ma and Master Meng to know, will you be angry!"
Xiao Wan shook her head and said, "Harm, isn't it good if we don't let them know?"
"What does the princess mean?!" Li Huanting asked.
Xiao Wan looked at a few people, her eyes rolled, and she had a plan, and said: "A few days ago, there was a group of pranksters who performed tricks and performed for me in the princess's mansion. I am also the most well-informed in inquiring about the news, and I think I can let those pimples help us find out where our husbands have gone these days, returning so late!"
"That's ...... Is it really good?!" Qingwen asked.
Xiao Wan explained to a few people: "Oops! Don't you want to know where your husband has gone since the early dynasty? Of course, we have to use some means to find out in secret, but we also want to know the truth! If they didn't do anything to transgress the courtesy and corrupt the court, then forget it, if they were really sorry for the court, then ......"
"So what's going to be?!" Li Huanting asked.
Xiao Wan looked at a few people one after another, two small fists clenched, gritted his teeth, and his eyes showed a fierce light, and several people thought that Xiao Wan was going to say something cruel.
Behold......
Then Xiao Wan didn't say anything, but turned around and sat on the chair and ate the snacks on the table.
Several people then asked in unison, "What do you want?!"
Xiao Wan frowned and smiled reluctantly: "Actually, I didn't think about it!" I'm also worried about Lu Yan's ...... What an unforgivable mistake was made! That's why I'm talking to all of you! Let's discuss our worries together!"
Several people also sat down and said no more.
Xiao Wan looked at a few people and said, "Hey, hey, hey!" Don't be silent! It's not my own! You guys have ideas, you guys have ideas!"
Liansheng said: "Princess, otherwise I think it's better to forget it!" Master Ma, Lord Meng, General Chen...... And Chenyu, they won't have a problem......"
Xiao Wan looked at Liansheng and said, "Are you really that sure?!"
Lian Sheng shook his head, then nodded hurriedly.
Qingwen said: "Then princess, otherwise we will ......"
Xiao Huan looked at Li Huanting again, and Li Huanting said: "I have no opinion, anyway, I believe in my husband!" If you want to check, check it! This can also prove the innocence of the general!"
