And Qiao Jinwen is indeed a good person, not arrogant or impatient, not pampered and arrogant, there is still respect for Chang Yulian, at least on the surface, anyway, the two of them are in their respective yards, except for the tea ceremony, the two have not fought again.

Let's just say that Qiao Jinwen went back to her parents' house this time, in addition to the maids beside her, the Feng family also let the two grandmothers follow, although these two grandmothers did not serve by the Feng family's side, they also have a very high status in the Hou Mansion. The carriage in which Qiao Jinwen was sitting was the specification of the wife going out, and the carriage had the logo of the Hou Mansion on it, and in addition, there were five or six guards to follow to ensure her safety.

Surrounded by a group of people, Qiao Jinwen returned to Qiao's house.

Xue Tao asked people to wait outside the door early, and as soon as Qiao Jinwen came back, she went to greet Mrs. Qiao first.

Old Madam Qiao knew that Qiao Jinwen had something to do when she came back, so she asked her to go to Xue Tao after a few words.

The courtyard where the four-room people of the Qiao family live is rented by Duanmuqing from Yaxing, otherwise, with Qiao Siye's ability, let alone buying a yard, there is no way to rent a yard, after all, such a good location, people without a little background can't rent it.

This is the richest area of the capital, and it is surrounded by wealthy merchants who are not bad for money.

This location was chosen by Duanmu Qing after careful consideration.

Choosing in the elite area, he has a way, but the identity of the person in the fourth room of the Qiao family is not enough, even if he lives in the powerful area, he can't cling to the powerful, he doesn't help him at all, and he wastes money.

The Qiao family is a businessman, so it is natural to play a role in the most comfortable place.

The richest people in the capital are gathered here, and it can be said that about half of the capital, along with the surrounding economy, is in the hands of these people.

Don't underestimate this half.

More or less these people have dealings with some ministers in the court, and the properties that several princes cannot expose in private are in the hands of these people. Everyone tacitly develops independently, cooperates when there are interests, and calculates in every possible way when they become obstacles. Of course, everyone is very measured and will not go too far and alarm the people above.

When Xue Tao saw Qiao Jinwen, she immediately helped her sit at the table.

Qiao Siye was also in the room, first asked Qiao Jinwen's physical condition, and then asked the doctor to diagnose the safe pulse of Tian, and only after making sure that the mother and son were safe, did he rest assured.

But that's not all.

The midwife brought by Xue Tao from Jincheng was still there, and after the doctor diagnosed Qiao Jinwen's pulse and left, the mother-in-law stepped forward to check Qiao Jinwen's situation.

"Master, madam, the young lady is in good condition, as long as she continues to take the secret medicine of the grass people, she will definitely get what she wants."

Xue Tao's face was overjoyed.

Fourth Master Qiao was still skeptical.

When Qiao Jinwen wrote back to Jincheng, when he talked about it, he felt ridiculous.

Although I know that there are all kinds of wonders in the world, it is too bizarre to change the sex of the baby. However, for the sake of profit, he still asked Xue Tao to find someone.

After finding this mother-in-law, he asked people to check, and this mother-in-law does have the ability to control the sex of the child born to a pregnant woman. Before, people with such thoughts have looked for this mother-in-law, some want a male baby, some want a female baby, and the children born by the hands of this mother-in-law have met the wishes of the main family.

10% of the correct rate, which had to make him care.

Therefore, after Xue Tao found this mother-in-law back, he repeatedly inquired about the whole process to ensure the safety of adults and children before nodding.

"But," Qiao Jinwen said hesitantly, "I've been very sick to my stomach lately, and the feeling of eating the candied fruit is not as good as it was at the beginning." ”

Everyone looked at the mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law explained: "Young lady, that's right, at the beginning, your appetite was not very good because of the normal reaction of pregnancy, and the candied fruit has an appetizing effect, so you can adapt very much." Now, a few months into your pregnancy, the initial reactions have passed, your diet has become normal, and the compote has affected your appetite. ”

Qiao Jinwen nodded, "Not only does my appetite be bad, but I also don't sleep well." ”

"Is this normal?" Fourth Master Qiao asked nervously.

The mother-in-law gave a slightly calm gaze, "Master, don't worry, this is a normal reaction of the young lady," looking at Xue Tao, the mother-in-law continued, "Madam, you are a person from the past, you should know that as the months increase and the body becomes bulky, not only will your sleep be affected, but you will also have trouble breathing while lying in bed." ”

Xue Tao nodded sympathetically and said to Qiao Jinwen: "San'er, these are normal, I have wronged you, just wait for the child to be born." In addition to that, you have other discomforts. ”

"Not really." Qiao Jinwen shook her head.

Qiao Siye then breathed a sigh of relief, "If something is wrong, you must notify us as soon as possible." ”

Qiao Jinwen nodded solemnly.

All the hopes of her and the Qiao family are on this child, and they will not take it lightly.

After the mother-in-law left, Qiao Yi came.

Before, because he had to diagnose Qiao Jinwen's pulse, it was inconvenient for Qiao Yi to be there, so he didn't come over until Qiao Jinwen was done.

"Second brother, are you still used to it in the academy?" Qiao Jinwen asked casually.

Qiao Yi smiled: "I have been in the academy since I was six years old, what do you think the second brother is not suitable for?" ”

Qiao Jinwen pouted, "I naturally believe in the second brother's ability, but how can the academy in Jincheng be compared to that in the capital?" Although they are all Bailu Academy, the threshold of Bailu Academy in the capital is high, and they are all children of the family, and San'er is also worried that the second brother will be excluded. ”

"The second brother knows your kindness, you have to believe in the second brother's ability, the third highness finally won a place for the second brother in the White Deer Academy, and the second brother naturally can't live up to the support of the third highness."

Qiao Jinwen nodded, she didn't dwell too much on this issue, as long as the second brother was sure.

Qiao Yi asked about Qiao Jinwen's situation, and the topic finally got to the point.

"Qiao Yixi is going to enter the Hou Mansion, what do you think?" This was asked by Fourth Master Qiao.

Qiao Jinwen's expression froze, "The Gu family has long been tied to the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and they married Qiao Lixi to the past, which is not only to stabilize their alliance, but also a shortcut to maximize each other's interests, but because of my relationship with Qiao Lixi, we have to live and die again." ”

When she said this, Qiao Jinwen was unusually calm.

In the end, they are good sisters, you are dead and alive before you leave the cabinet, and if you are out of the cabinet, you are still alive and dead.

"Qiao Lixi married Gu Jinzhen and is the wife of the long house, isn't Gu Jinzhen going to rob the position of the prince?" Qiao Siye said.

Qiao Yi frowned, "Before, the Marquis of Dingguo never asked for the title of the prince, just wanted to go past Gu Jinzhen and ask for the son of the Feng family." Gu Jinzhen is now famous, he is already a general of the dynasty, the saint is already afraid of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, jealous of him, if it weren't for his great military achievements, how could the saint give him an official and a knight? The Marquis of Dingguo did not invite the prince of the world, and he was in the arms of the saint. Now, Gu Jinxuan is injured, and Gu Jintai is the second ancestor of the gentleman, if it is a normal situation, the position of this son must be Gu Jinzhen's. It's just that the Marquis of Dingguo has always favored the son of the Feng family, so as long as the third son gives birth to a son, the Marquis of Dingguo may bypass the two sons and directly ask for the title of grandson. ”

Everyone nodded.

Before, Dingguohou meant that Qiao Jinwen gave birth to a son, and then asked Gu Jinxuan to be sealed, even if outsiders questioned Gu Jinxuan, Gu Jinzhen had a son under his name, Dingguohou's own grandson, and it was reasonable to say strong words. If the outside opinion is big, then the Marquis of Dingguo will directly ask his grandson to be sealed, and now, outsiders have no excuses, right?

High positions have always been won by the strong.

The Marquis of Dingguo values his grandson and gives the title to his grandson, what is the matter with outsiders?

But Qiao Yixi married Gu Jinzhen, in case she also gave birth to a son, or the grandson of the eldest house, what is she, the eldest son of the second room?

"I don't think it's very likely," Qiao Siye said, "Qiao Lixi hasn't been able to marry yet, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan is in such a hurry to ask Gu Jinzhen for marriage, just to prevent the saint, that is, they are now marrying Qiao Lixi into the door, and Qiao Lixi and Gu Jinzhen can't have a round house, let alone have a child." You don't have to worry about Qiao Yixi's side, it's the right thing to raise a fetus with peace of mind. ”

Qiao Jinwen nodded, "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter will save it." ”

Although Qiao Lixi's movements are not the point, Qiao Lixi's marriage into the Hou Mansion is a scourge after all, and the people in the four rooms think that Qiao Lixi is going to the child in Qiao Jinwen's belly and the position of the prince.

What they can do now is to try not to confront Qiao Lixi head-on, there are so many people in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and it is not Qiao Jinwen's turn to come forward, and the Feng family will solve the trouble.

Despite this, the family still discussed some precautionary wording, Xue Tao originally wanted to arrange a few more people to follow Qiao Jinwen, but she was worried that they would do too much here, and the Feng family thought that she had slapped her in the face, so in the end, she had to let Qiao Jinwen mention it vaguely after she went back.

No matter how the Dingguo Marquis Mansion and the people outside analyzed, the process on Gu Jinzhen's side was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Several princes knew that Duanmuqing had framed the Gu family before, and now the Gu family and the Marquis of Zhenyuan were openly allied in full view, and everyone was waiting for Duanmuqing's movements.

It's a pity that Duanmu Qing was so entangled by the things around him that he couldn't be separated.

After that stronghold in Chengde was found out by the second child, he has been cleaning up the aftermath.

Although he has the protection of the saint, Duanmu Qing must sweep his tail clean and find a new stronghold.

Several princes were secretly watching, Duanmuqing didn't dare to make a big move, but the concubine was urging tightly, and Duanmuqing was also anxious.

Now that he has lost his favor, he needs his mother to walk around with his father, and if he wants to show his face in front of his father, he must be remembered by his father from time to time.

How to be remembered by my father?

In addition to making it easy and comfortable to be with his father and mother, he also has to make his father feel pleasing to the eye.

The father and the emperor knew his mother when he was only a prince, and this kind of affection is in the harem, and only the queen has it.

When his father was the crown prince, the mother concubine was just an ordinary concubine, but the mother concubine knew her father, even if it was just chatting in the harem, the mother concubine could make the father feel comfortable and reduce his troubles, which was one of the reasons why the mother concubine had been favored for so many years.

How pleasing to the eye?

This is also the second reason - the appearance of the concubine.
