651: Homecoming
On the day Nalan Jinxiu and Ji Hongye left Nanchu, the weather was sunny, just colder than usual. If it weren't for the fact that Nalan Jinxiu was cold after taking the antidote, they would have left earlier.
Qu Lianbing personally saw her off at the door, she had always been very calm emotionally, only at the moment when Nalan Jinxiu was about to get into the car, tears flashed in her eyes, but they were quickly hidden again.
Nalan Jinxiu and Qu Lianbing were very close, and when they saw that scene, they were not surprised. She gained a lot this time when she came to Nanchu, not only to solve the cold break, but also to recognize the situation in the princess's mansion.
In the past, she always felt that the princess's mansion was jealous and became a thorn in the side of the lord, so she was in a bad situation, which was the main reason why she disbanded the painting in the first place.
She hopes that the princess's mansion can be safe, and Qu Lianbing can live a quiet life. But this time she knew that the real minister of Nanchu was actually Qu Lianbing.
Qu Qingze didn't know if he really didn't know, or pretended to be confused, but now he is more generous to the princess's mansion than before.
Nalan Jinxiu admits that Qu Lianbing is strategic, and the most important thing is that he can bend and stretch. It's time to restrain herself and pretend to be pitiful, she doesn't hesitate, so realistic that even she has lied to her.
After knowing the truth, she was resentful for a while, feeling that she was being used. Now that she has thought about it, people like Qu Lianbing will of course give priority to interests when doing things, and other feelings will be put later.
Recognizing this situation, there are no other requirements, and her life is naturally easier. At least if something happens to the princess's mansion in the future, she will not be so anxious anymore and can face it more calmly.
Of course, she still felt that it was best for everyone in the princess's mansion to be safe, because only in this way could Qu Lianbing be safe. Although there is no mother-daughter relationship, what she owes Xu Jinsheng is also to be repaid.
"The daughter said goodbye to her mother. Nalan Jinxiu left this sentence, saluted, and looked at Qu Lianbing. As a junior, she can't leave before her elders, otherwise she will be disrespectful.
Of course, Qu Lianbing also knew this rule, and although he was reluctant in his heart, he still hardened his heart and turned around. She wants her daughter to stay by her side, but a woman always has to marry, and she marries her husband with her husband, of course, she can't continue to stay in the princess's mansion.
In fact, others think that she has a very glamorous life, a noble birth, and became famous at a young age. It was she who made the Princess's Mansion a leader among the many noble families in Southern Chu, and no one did not envy all this.
But who knows the suffering behind this, she supports all this alone, even if something big happens, she is the only one who supports it. No one would help, and she didn't need handouts.
This kind of day is actually sad. When she dreams back in the middle of the night, she will also feel tired, and she will keep asking herself, if she could turn back time, would she still make the same choice?
She thought that if she wanted to change the trajectory of her life, there was only one person who could do it - Xu Huaiyu.
If he hadn't abandoned it at the beginning, how could she feel that there was nothing worth nostalgia in this world, let alone become a victim of power for the rest of her life. It's not so much that she gained a lot, but that she lost more.
She didn't remember herself, she hadn't laughed heartily in years. She tried her best to survive in the shadow of the sword and sword, even if she didn't have to lead the troops to fight later, she was calculated by many people because of the power in her hands.
How many people gave advice to the lord of the country, hoping to break her wings, and how many people wanted her to become a waste, or even wanted her life.
It is actually not easy for her to survive, so she doesn't want her daughter to follow her old path again. How much Ji Hongye cares about her daughter, she sees it all. She thought he should be her daughter's sweetheart.
With such a thought in mind, everything that had been obscure before seemed to be clear. Qu Lianbing walked towards the princess's mansion, stepping on the steps one by one, and gradually walked to the top.
Her back was still straight, and even if she was just wearing ordinary clothes, she gave people a very majestic and noble feeling. At this time, no one knew that Nan Chu would one day respect her.
From Luozhong to Jinling, the distance was not far, but Ji Hongye wanted to take this opportunity to take Nalan Jinxiu to take a good look. So I stopped and stopped along the way, and I walked for almost a month.
When I returned to Jinling, it was already a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve. Because Ji Hongye had just come back, the people who were going to come to visit him a year ago were crowded on this day. He coped with it one by one, feeling that he was lacking in skills.
He is busy on his side, and Nalan Jinxiu is not idle here. Her reaction to this pregnancy is still quite big, especially in the last two days, and she almost can't see meat.
Ruyi had already served her for a baby before, and this time she was experienced. She communicates with the female doctor in the house every day, and stares at the kitchen herself, making meals in different ways, just hoping that Nalan Jinxiu will not be anorexic.
Nalan Jinxiu just didn't want to eat anymore, considering the child in her belly and seeing everyone's hard work for her, she forced herself to eat more at every meal.
Sometimes she starts vomiting before she finishes eating. Every time I vomited, I vomited almost everything in my stomach, until I vomited sour water.
She couldn't stand it for a day like this, and the whole person looked very depressed. She was originally a doctor herself, and she had given birth to another child, so she still has a lot of experience in gynecology and fetal care.
She spends most of her time in bed and barely sees her time walking around the ground. She also prescribed herself some anti-vomiting medicine, drank a bowl every day, and even if she vomited after eating, she insisted on eating.
On the day of the Chinese New Year, the house is particularly lively. Nalan Jinxiu cheered up, and Ruyi waited for him to change into a new outfit. This goose-yellow new shirt was prepared by Ji Hongye before he went to Nanchu.
Nalan Jinxiu's temperament is a little colder, and wearing such a warm color can make her look softer. This is also more consistent with the atmosphere of the festival, and Ruyi put makeup on her, and the whole person's complexion is very good.
She is the main mother of the backyard, and she should have a lot of things to do, but because she is pregnant, people dare not come and alarm her if something happens. This keeps the backyard housekeepers busy.
But even if everyone is busy, they are happy in their hearts, because the third lady is going to add Ding to the third master. The third master is such a wife, and for many years he has refused to even accept the concubine's room. In this way, the natural offspring are thin.
Therefore, the joy of Tian Ding is a great joy for the entire Ji Mansion. Originally, the New Year was going to be decorated with lights, and it was very lively, and with this incident, the things prepared by Ji Fu this year were more grand than in previous years.
After breakfast, firecrackers start to be set off at the door. The crackling sound can be heard clearly even in the backyard. Nalan Jinxiu stood in front of the window, looking at the red lanterns outside, and also remembered how he was celebrating the New Year when he was a child, which was always very lively.
"Why don't you set off firecrackers in the yard?" she asked Ruyi with her head sideways.
Ruyi knew that she was playing hard, and replied with a smile: "The third master said that you need to be quiet, for fear that the sound of firecrackers will scare you too much, so you are not allowed to put them in the courtyard." ”
Nalan Jinxiu was speechless for a moment, she was just pregnant, how could it be as serious as he said. Daning advocates frugality, and firecrackers are not allowed on weekdays, and only on this day of the New Year. If you don't let it go at this time, when will it wait?
"Ruyi, go and get my cloak. ”
Ruyi gave her a strange look and asked, "What moth did you come up with?"
Nalan Jinxiu said with a smile: "Since the third brother doesn't let them enter the courtyard to put it, then let's go to the door to see." ”
"It's cold outside today, dripping into ice. You're weak now, and you're susceptible to cold, so stay in the house!" Ruyi tried to convince her.
Nalan Jinxiu didn't think so, she pointed to her face, and then asked Ruyi: "You can take a good look now, where do I look like I'm weak?"
"You vomited so badly yesterday, and you vomited this morning, so take care of it!"
"What woman doesn't throw up when she's pregnant? ”
Ruyi knows that she can't resist her, who makes the family the master. She could only ask people to get the cloak, and she also specially told her to ask for the one with rabbit fur.
Nalan Jinxiu didn't like that one very much, because it was specially told by Ruyi to thicken it. The whole will look bloated and inconvenient to walk. However, she didn't want to talk to Ruyi again because of this matter, otherwise this girl would definitely not let her go out.
Although she is the master, what she says is as good as she wants, but their master-servant relationship has always been the best, and Ruyi has never been afraid of her. If you want to use your identity to suppress people, it will definitely be ineffective.
The firecrackers at the door are all small servants, and the maids in the outer courtyard are watching from the side. Some girls in the inner courtyard also want to join in the fun, but because there are more things to do during the New Year today, they have to serve their masters well, so they only dare to take a few glances when they pass by the door.
"Don't put this one, if you leave it for the evening, it will definitely look very good. A little girl with a dark face pointed to the largest box.
The firecracker guy ignored her words and still lit them step by step. When the little girl saw that he didn't listen to her, she was very anxious and tried to persuade him several times, but she was ignored by her life.
Nalan Jinxiu smiled when she watched from the sidelines, and said to Ruyi: "You go up and tell that little guy to leave that firework and light it at night." ”
Ruyi knew that she was kind again, so she could only step forward and tell the little guy. Ruyi is the third lady's close attendant, and her status among the subordinates is actually very high, even the chief stewards have to give her some face, and the little servants dare not say anything.
