Jiang Xuan and Jiang Yu talked about the marriage, since Jiang Yu had already made a decision, he just waited for his father to come back to the Cui family to propose marriage, and he let go of one thing in his heart.

Life is always getting better and better, and there should be a long period of stability in the future.

Seeing Jiang Yu, Jiang Xuan inevitably went to see his aunt Mrs. Lin, who was still a guest at Jiang's house.

When she first arrived home, she went directly to the courtyard of the second wife, and then went to the study to talk to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Xuan went to the main hall, bypassed the screen, and walked over with a smile, the second wife and the third wife were talking with Aunt Lin, and when she saw her come in, she hurriedly got up and wanted to greet her.

"At home, you don't need these big gifts, just sit and talk."

The second lady gave her up to the top position, and then sat down as the guest of honor, and another maid served tea.

Aunt Lin is a middle-aged woman of medium stature, who looks well-maintained, with a pair of shrewd Danfeng eyes, and her eyebrows are painted as willow leaf eyebrows, which looks similar to Mrs. Cui, and she is an official woman, but because the Lin family has been demoted to a concubine, jewelry and other aspects are the most ordinary.

From the moment Jiang Xuan stepped into the main hall, Aunt Lin's eyes were nailed to her and she never moved away, seeing that Jiang Xuan was outstanding in appearance, and her words and deeds were generous.

There is a vague grace of some superiors on his body, and he is not the same as the palace women he has seen before, with some heroism.

The bead hairpin on her head when she walks, and the jade tassel on her waist are all immovable.

Aunt Lin sighed in her heart, in the end, it was the Lin family who treated their brother and sister badly.

After Jiang Xuan sat down, he called, "Uncle." ”

The Lin family never helped her when she was a child, no matter what the reason, after all, they treated their brothers and sisters poorly.

In addition to this, he didn't do anything that was intolerable, so Jiang Xuan would not hold a grudge when he met Aunt Lin.

After all, there is love and hate, and the Lin family is just a place for her to give birth to her mother.

Aunt Lin said "hey", and then her eyes were full of tears, as if she was happy and sad, "Okay, okay, you are so old in the blink of an eye, but it's a pity that your mother went to ...... early"

She wiped her tears, "Tang'er must be deeply gratified to know under the Nine Springs." ”

Aunt Lin wanted to shake Jiang Xuan's hand, but she felt that she was not a child anymore, nor was she an ordinary identity, so her hand hung in the air and retracted again.

Aunt Lin blurted out like this, she called Lin Tang's name, thinking that when her mother was not out of the cabinet, her relationship with this aunt was still good.

Jiang Xuan knew it in his heart, but he still said lightly,

"My mother went early, and I was still young at that time, so I couldn't go to my grandfather's house often, and if I met my aunt on the street, I really didn't come out."

Aunt Lin was slightly stunned, and the action of wiping tears on her hand also paused, as if she didn't expect Jiang Xuan to come with a soft knife that was neither soft nor hard.

When my sister-in-law got married, she had been in the door for more than two years, and her relationship with my sister-in-law was really good, so I called my sister-in-law by her nickname in a hurry.

I thought that in this way, my niece would have a softer attitude, but I didn't expect a soft knife to come.

has lived a lot of age, even if the Lin family is belittled, but her mother's family is still very tough, even if she loses the identity of the wife of the official family, but in Yanzhou, it can still be eaten.

Now she was topped by her niece, according to her past temper, she was going to tear her face, but Uncle Lin's mother couldn't help it.

She was not displeased, but she was a little guilty and embarrassed, although she said that she had a good relationship with her sister-in-law, but after she passed away, she really didn't do what she should have done.

Another one, now that she is in the Jiang family, Jiang Xuan's identity is even more unusual, so she said with a smile,

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, even I don't dare to recognize you, those were all wrong at home in the past, and I just hope that I can make up for it now."

The second wife has only seen Jiang Xuan beat the Xu family like this, and in front of outsiders, Jiang Xuan is generally mild-tempered.

She also saw that Aunt Lin helped her play a round by herself, she had gotten along with Aunt Lin during this time, and knew that although this person seemed to be shrewd, he was actually just a soft person.

If you are really not shrewd, you will not be able to be a housewife.

A good daughter-in-law, three generations rich, Aunt Lin is the kind of good daughter-in-law, but no matter how good she is, she can't stand the toss of being a family member.

first got involved with the eldest princess of Changning, and then was grabbed by the Xu family and controlled the life.

Speaking of this, no one is right or wrong, is Ah Xuan wrong to the elders like this?

She was young back then, if the Lin family paid more attention to her, she would not have fallen into the hands of the Xu family and the old lady and suffered so much.

He will not be taken to a remote place like Guangyang Mansion by his uncle.

But if you want to say that the Lin family is at fault, it is not necessarily, their original intention is good, and they want to be far away from their son-in-law's family, so they will not be implicated.

She sighed, she still didn't say anything about this matter, Ah Xuan must be angry in her heart for so many years, and it was already her kindness to be able to come to see the eldest aunt of the Lin family.

Jiang Xuan listened to Aunt Lin's words, and didn't say anything more, hey, no matter how bad it is, this is her mother's maiden family, and she doesn't want to have another conflict.

Everyone just goes on as ordinary relatives.

She sat silently, her eyes lowered.

Aunt Lin also knew that Jiang Xuan was not in a good mood, so she stood up hesitantly and said,

"I also saw my niece, it's good, it's also considered to have completed the family's entrustment, so I'll go back to pack my things, I've been out for so long, I should go back tomorrow."

The second wife wanted to stay, but when she saw that Jiang Xuan didn't say anything, she swallowed her words.

Returning to the guest house from the main hall, Aunt Lin sat on the couch, the things had actually been packed, and she was a guest outside, no matter how good the place was, it was not as good as at home.

The difference is that Yanzhou is naturally not as prosperous as the capital.

However, such prosperity is not unfelt, and the Lin family was also deeply favored by the emperor back then, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the door.

"Madam, I didn't expect the Queen Mother's temper to be like this, I always heard how she was, this temper is really different from Mrs. Gu's."

The grandmother, who had been standing behind Aunt Lin, suddenly spoke.

Aunt Lin sighed, thinking of Jiang Xuan's indifferent attitude, and thinking of her sister-in-law who died early, she didn't feel very good in her heart.

"At the beginning, Tang'er was also golden and precious at home, and she was deeply favored by her in-laws. The man she married is good, who would have thought that her life would be so thin?

Don't blame the Queen Mother for having a grudge in her heart, since the death of her sister-in-law, she has not taken care of it at home, saying that it is for the good of the Jiang family, but if you really want to be good for the Jiang family, then don't get on the boat of the eldest princess of Changning.

That's not only for the good of the Jiang family, but also for the good of the Lin family. ”

"It's a peaceful and prosperous world, but my father-in-law doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and he wants to be involved in those fatal things, fortunately, he left a hand at the beginning, otherwise now you and I will also be separated by yin and yang."

Aunt Lin thought that after the incident of the eldest princess of Changning, so many families were raided and exterminated, and the Lin family was reprimanded, she had palpitations.

The Lin family was defeated, but I didn't expect to be grabbed again, but fortunately, my mother-in-law made a decision and divided the family, and the uncle was caught by the Xu family so that the whole family was not affected.

Thinking of the empty room in the fourth room of the Lin family now, Aunt Lin was glad that her man was honest and did not smoke such things.

After listening to Aunt Lin's words, the grandmother stopped talking, but she still said tentatively,

"The Queen Mother looks like a favored one, and our family sent three truckloads of things to add makeup, which must not be in her eyes. Half of it was taken out of your dowry......"

Aunt Lin waved her hand, her face sank, and she scolded,

"You are also an old man next to me, so you don't have to say it in the future, whether you look at it or not, it's all our hearts.

Don't say anything about dowry or not, speaking of which, the Lin family was able to escape the catastrophe safely, who said that there would be no credit to Aunt Jiang.

What's more, he has never remarried, how can he be the aunt of the Lin family, this is enough.

Without the Lin family, my dowry may not be able to be kept. ”

Speaking of this, she said, "Don't mention the past, the Jiang family is becoming more and more prominent, and it is a fact that our Lin family has fallen."

Niangniang is just a soft knife or two today, is it difficult for me to care.

Pack up and go home, people have seen it, and they know that she is good, and it is done. When Yu'er gets married in the future, she will come over after the post, and we will come back at that time. ”

Seeing this, the grandmother behind her didn't say anything more.

The master's family doesn't stir up trouble, and their subordinates can't save to do it, and it will be the subordinates who will suffer when the time comes.

……

Jiang Xuan saw Aunt Lin and the second wife say a few words, looked at the sky, and went back to the palace.

Lin Yi also discussed the follow-up matters of counterinsurgency with Xiao Yue in the previous dynasty, and she first went to Yongfu Palace to greet the Empress Dowager.

As soon as she entered Yongfu Palace, she felt a different atmosphere.

The people inside were busy, and when they saw Jiang Xuan coming up to say goodbye, the Empress Dowager beckoned to her with a look of kindness.

Jiang Xuan's footsteps paused involuntarily, it was really strange that everyone from the Empress Dowager to the palace people waiting.

The Empress Dowager has always been very kind to her, especially today.

"Ah Xuan, I have a lot of things here, you will bring them back later, Changsheng has been very busy recently, you will be in the palace first, I have already asked people to set up a small kitchen in the palace where you live.

When the time comes, I'll send two chefs over, and you'll be able to eat nourishing soup every day. ”

Jiang Xuan thought that the Empress Dowager was pitiful for her going out for so long, sleeping in the open air, and losing her body, so she would send supplements again, build a small kitchen, and send the chef over.

"Mother, I'm in good health, although I've been out for a while, but I'm young and can carry it, those supplements, you better keep them for yourself, or send them to the queen, isn't she pregnant with a little prince now?"

The Empress Dowager laughed, "Silly boy, can I still treat the Empress badly?" Those supplements are for you, Changsheng said, you are his lucky star, how many more children can you add to him......"

Her gaze was like lightning, sweeping over her stomach and sweeping over again, as if Jiang Xuan had fallen into her stomach and had taken root and sprouted.

Jiang Xuan covered his face, he didn't expect Lin Yi to tell the Empress Dowager about it so quickly.

What he meant, she still understood, that is, to say it earlier, to make the old man happy, by the way, in case she was pregnant, if the Queen Mother didn't know, then she didn't suspect that she had done something immoral.

It's just that she didn't expect the Queen Mother's mood to be so eager......

She thought that her body was fine, and Zhang Chunzi also gave her a pulse and said that her body was good, and the only difference from ordinary people was the mark of the two-life flower in the eye on her shoulder......

Moreover, if you want to make up for it, shouldn't it be Lin Yi who makes up for it, no matter how old he is or anything else, he is inferior to her......

However, Jiang Xuan was not easy to refute the old man's intentions, so he silently asked Biyun to bring them back.

The small kitchen is still being built, not so fast, the first few days I still ate from the imperial dining room, and on the fifth day, Jiang Xuan was tired of eating.

Lin Yi has been busy these days, and he doesn't know what he is doing, but he will come back to accompany Jiang Xuan to eat in the evening, and he will come back, speaking of which, it is because Xiao Yue also wants to go back to Fengyi Palace to accompany Gu Nian to eat.

Because he was not there during the day, he naturally didn't know that Jiang Xuan was stuffed with a lot of supplements.

Eating alone has never been Jiang Xuan's style, she looked at the tonic soup on the table, rolled her eyes, and went to the small kitchen that had been built.

The biggest use of the small kitchen is to stew supplements for Jiang Xuan, and the Empress Dowager sent two chefs over, which is inevitably a bit overkill.

When Jiang Xuan went, the two chefs were resting, and when they saw Jiang Xuan coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and heard that Jiang Xuan was going to make bone broth.

Both of them rolled up their sleeves to help, Jiang Xuan saw this, thanked them, and said that they didn't need to help, just let the two of them help prepare the mutton bones and the like, and finally asked carefully how to cook the mutton bone soup to make it thick and white.

After that, she personally washed the mutton bones, boiled the mutton bones, and specially asked Biwan to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for some cistanche, seal it with gauze, and throw it into the crockpot to make soup.

The two chefs didn't know what it was, and when they saw her throw it in, they couldn't help but ask, "Niangniang, what did you throw it in?" ”

Jiang Xuan said with a smile, "This is Cistanche, used to replenish the body, the Emperor Taishang has been running around these days, and when he comes back, he has to arrange matters after the counterinsurgency, so he needs to make up for his body." ”

The two chefs nodded yes one after another, and complimented Jiang Xuan, willing to wash his hands and make soup for the emperor.

Jiang Xuan laughed in his heart, in the next few days, they will all see such a 'virtuous' side of themselves.

Cistanche is a traditional Chinese medicine, sweet and warm, mild medicine, cistanche mutton bone soup is for men to replenish the body, sperm and blood.

Since she has eaten so many supplements, she can't favor one over the other, and Lin Yi is not.

When the soup was ready, Jiang Xuan presented it in a bowl, sprinkled chopped chives on it, put it in a food box, and together with the pastries made by the chef, let Bizhi send it to the front hall for Lin Yi and others to drink.

Bi Zhi and another palace man carried the food box to the imperial study, there were only Lin Yi and Xiao Yue in it, and there were a lot of folds, documents and the like in front of their desks.

Seeing Bizhi coming in, Lin Yi frowned,

"Why are you here? But what happened to the mother? ”

These days are busy, it's okay to go out early and return late, if he wasn't afraid that she would worry, he would hate to stay in the imperial study.

Bizhi and the palace people put the food box on the empty table on the side, opened the food box, and took out the pastries, cakes, and soup in it one by one, and then reported,

"Niangniang saw that the emperor was tired these days, so she specially cooked bone broth in the small kitchen, and sent small cakes."

Xiao Yue put down the fold in his hand, stretched his waist, walked to the table, and saw that the things sent were very rich, such as thick white and fragrant mutton bone soup, as well as pastries and small cakes, and they were very rich in food.

He smiled and said, "Big brother, you have taken it orally, sister-in-law's soup smells good, and I've been reading this for a long time, let's eat something and watch it again." ”

Lin Yi heard that it was Jiang Xuan's own soup, and he was happy and guilty, happy because his daughter-in-law thought about him and felt sorry for him, and he was guilty that he had been with her too little during this time.

However, thinking that after this period of time, I could surprise her, and the guilt went away a little.

He coughed, straightened his clothes, walked over slowly, and said to Bizhi, "Go back and talk to your mother, food or something, the imperial dining room will send it over, so that she doesn't tire herself." ”

Bizhi bowed down and retreated with the empty food box.

Xiao Yue sat on the stool, brought a bowl of soup over, smelled it, the fragrance was very strong, but the smell seemed to be a little familiar, he sniffed it again, took a small sip, and his face became a little strange.

He put down the soup bowl in his hand, took only a piece of cut biscuit, and ate it with tea.

Lin Yi saw that he only drank tea and not soup, and asked, "Your sister-in-law boiled good soup, why don't you drink it?" ”

Xiao Yue swallowed the tea in his mouth, glanced at Lin Yi's lower body with a smile, and said, "I don't like the smell of mutton very much, since it was boiled by my sister-in-law, you should lose weight well, eldest brother." ”

Lin Yi drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, "Ah Xuan boiled well, there is no mutton smell, it seems that you have no appetite." ”

He served the bowl of soup in front of Xiao Yue, the soup that Ah Xuan boiled with his own hands, but it was very rare, he didn't want Xiao Jiu to swallow the dates and eat it.

In the past two or three days, Lin Yi also went out early and returned late, and Jiang Xuan felt a hand on her waist after falling asleep every night, holding her from behind.

While eating the tonic soup that the Empress Dowager ordered someone to boil, she did not forget to go to the kitchen to make Cistanche mutton bone soup for Lin Yi to drink.

It's just that after the first day, there is only one bowl of soup, and pastries and cakes are made for two people.

Lin Yi likes to drink it again, and cherishes Jiang Xuan's heart, but he is a little scared of mutton soup for five or six days in a row.

Thinking that when he was injured in the rebellion, Jiang Xuan cooked blood-tonifying soup for him for several days in a row, and he couldn't help but reflect on himself, in addition to going out early and returning late recently, what else did he do wrong, otherwise how could Ah Xuan be angry?

Xiao Yue smelled the smell of cistanche mutton bone soup on the side, and wanted to remind Lin Yi in his heart, but it was rare for him to see his eldest brother being manipulated like this, and he wanted to see a joke.

So, he said coolly,

"This is also a piece of my sister-in-law's heart, but I haven't cooked food for me for a long time." When you go back, you must review with Niannian, and you shouldn't put her on for the sake of watching jokes.

Lin Yi glanced at him, didn't say much, drank all the mutton soup, ate a small cake, and let people withdraw.

On this day, he was still busy until he went back to rest at night, and after coming out of the clean room, he felt that his mouth was dry, and he still did not quench his thirst after pouring two large cups of cold tea.

In the past few days, he has always been a little hot, lying next to Jiang Xuan, and he can't sleep, but these days are her small days, so he can only hold her and fall asleep in a daze.

The next day, he got up slowly, and waited until Jiang Xuan woke up to get up.

Jiang Xuan also felt strange, since the second day of returning to Beijing, he has always gotten up before dawn to go to the front of the dynasty to be busy, why is it so late today?

She was wrapped in a quilt, lying lazily on the bed, watching him dress and comb his hair, his slender fingers running through his black hair, and buttoning it slowly, which was indeed a bit tempting.

When she was dressed, Lin Yi walked to the bedside, kissed her on the forehead, and said slowly, "The matter is almost over, the next thing is the matter of the courtiers, I will come back to accompany you early in the future." ”

Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand to wrap his neck, pecked at the corner of his lips, pushed him away, covered his mouth and said,

"I haven't washed yet."

Lin Yi rubbed her head and left with a smile.

After Lin Yi left, Jiang Xuan slept for a while before getting up slowly, went to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, and then went to Fengyi Palace to talk to Gu Nian for a long time, and then returned to the palace, instructed the chef in the small kitchen to cook some sumptuous dinner, and boiled a pot of cistanche mutton bone soup.

When Lin Yi came back, she was copying one of Lin Yi's paintings, whether in the past life or in this life, her paintings were not very good, she copied this painting for more than half a month, and it still didn't look good.

Lin Yi's paintings are the same as those of others, with a strong and round brush, high and low, upright and delicate, and it looks very elegant.

But I can't practice that rhyme.

She exhaled, and was about to put away her pen when her hand was grabbed by a large hand.

As soon as she turned around, she heard a muffled grunt from someone behind her, as if her head had hit something.

Jiang Xuan saw him covering his chin, and hurriedly said, "Why did you come back without saying a word?" Got the matter in front of you? ”

She reached out and rubbed it for him, "If you say it, there won't be such a pain." ”

Lin Yi didn't care, and said with a smile, "I just want to see what you're doing, it's okay, it's not hurt......"

Jiang Xuan found that he was half-held in Lin Yi's arms, his solid chest and long arms trapped her between him and the desk.

She could clearly hear the steady and powerful heartbeat in his chest.

She turned around and tried to put away the painting on the desk, her hand was grasped, and the hand behind her, which was originally holding her waist, reached over, held her hand, hung her head slightly, rested her chin on her shoulder, and his ear was his slightly hot breath.

She felt a little itchy, and her feet felt a little soft.

"Don't mess around, let me pack my things."

Lin Yi fiddled with her hand, hot breath on her neck, and her voice was hoarse, saying,

"Where am I messing around, you give me cistanche mutton bone soup, you don't know what it does?"

Jiang Xuan blushed slightly, although it was indeed her fault, but she wouldn't admit it, she muttered, "That's just to make up for the body, you've worked hard these days......"

Lin Yi chuckled, and then her earlobe was caught, "Little fox, I was a joke that Xiao Jiu watched for several days, and he thought I couldn't do it." ”

"You say, how should I punish you? Well? ”

It turns out that Lin Yi is very good, and after tossing and turning in the study for a long time, the copied painting is no longer the same in the end, and something falls on it, like a lover's tears, speckled with spots.

Probably to prove that he was very good, after returning to the house from the study, he took out the one hundred and eight style books again, and studied them with Jiang Xuan with great interest.

The next day, Jiang Xuan woke up, her body was as soft as noodles, and then the origin of the cistanche mutton bone soup, she was tossed a lot, if it wasn't for the fact that she begged for mercy in the end, saying that the coming days would be long, and leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, it is estimated that the person would not spare her.

The most annoying thing is that her eyes were blackened by the toss, but the man went ahead in good spirits.

It's probably to prove to his good brother that he really doesn't need to eat anything aphrodisiac, and he didn't see that after he overindulged, he could still go to court, where do he need any supplements?
