"Red Beans are back." Mrs. Xiao said, "Rest for a while, and then it's time to eat." ”

Xi Hongdou felt a little flattered, although Mrs. Xiao didn't treat herself badly, but she has always been lukewarm, that is, she usually loves to mutter, and the most serious one is that she misunderstood her before she was unmarried and pregnant, and it is really unprecedented to speak so softly like today.

"Okay......" Xi Hongdou responded, looked at Xiao Zhi and went to the yard to change clothes and wash the dust along the way.

Before eating, Xiao Zhi also sat down first, Mrs. Xiao asked people to serve the soup first, Xi Hongdou smelled a little medicine, so she looked at Xiao Zhi.

Mrs. Xiao said at this time: "You can also drink two more bowls of tonic soup specially boiled." Then he put it in front of Xi Hongdou.

Xiao Zhi saw that he didn't have it, so he asked, "Mother, what about mine?"

"You don't have to drink it, this soup is for women to nourish their kidneys and increase some qi and blood." Mrs. Xiao said and filled herself a bowl as well.

When Xi Hongdou and Xiao Zhi were puzzled, Mama Liu whispered: "This soup is a big tonic, and it is usually only drunk by newlywed women!" ”

Xi Hongdou's eyes narrowed, and Xiao Zhi laughed out loud, and he didn't bother to drink without him.

The back house of Kyoto City also has a lot of exquisiteness, although Xiao Zhi knows a little about it, he also knows why Mrs. Xiao is doing this. The grandfather of the Xiao family died, the filial piety period has passed, and it was discussed earlier that the two of them would get married as soon as the filial piety period passed, but Xi Hongdou was not in a hurry to get married, and Xiao Zhi was about to take the big exam, so the marriage would be put aside first.

Mrs. Xiao is considered to be a person who has come over, and she is such a lone seedling in a single line, she is also afraid that her son will have an accident, and now Xi Hongdou has not officially passed the door, but she also has to start conditioning her body, and now she has no other ideas, she just wants to hug her grandson!

"Drink, it's cold for a while!" Mrs. Xiao saw that Xi Hongdou still didn't move, so she urged, and she had to feed Xi Hongdou to her mouth when she broke this soup, for fear that Xi Hongdou would not want to drink the medicinal taste, and added: "Specially stewed with old hens, the taste is absolutely fragrant!" ”

Xi Hongdou hurriedly took it, it must be to drink. Drink it in one sip, the taste is not unpleasant, but it is not delicious, there are weird, but looking at Mrs. Xiao's expectant eyes, Xi Hongdou quickly drank it.

Seeing that Xi Hongdou finished drinking a bowl, Mrs. Xiao gave another bowl, but she didn't force it anymore.

Master Xiao came back late from outside, and took a sip of water as soon as he entered the door, looking a little tired and helpless.

"Master, what's the matter?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

Master Xiao saw that Xi Hongdou was back, waved his hand, and then asked everyone to sit down and say.

"The prince has come back from the south, and he looks much more stable, this is not to say that he has some merit, but he has to continue to find something to do." Master Xiao said.

When Xi Hongdou heard this, he wondered in his heart that this is not a good thing, the prince of a country is willing to do the right thing wholeheartedly, which is also a blessing for the people.

Xiao Zhi asked at this time: "So the emperor is also happy, and in the end, this errand to find an errand fell on my father's head." ”

Master Xiao slapped his thigh, Xiao Zhi said really not a word badly, the last time he helped the prince once, the emperor thought that he was a loyal minister who played a role, and felt that the prince would be more successful under his "guidance", which divided the errand to him, when the court was in the court, the emperor directly said this, which made him a little more beautiful, but he also understood in his heart that others regarded him as "standing in line", and directly divided it into "princelings".

What Master Xiao is most afraid of is standing in line, his errand in the household department is now equivalent to an acting Shangshu, and he is already a little anxious, this kind of thing that is in the limelight is no longer dared to have it when the case of King Xiang was almost full of people, although he hopes that his son's output can surpass him, but he will accept it if he wants to see it here!

Xi Hongdou listened to it, and didn't dare to interject, she didn't understand these things very well, but looking at Master Xiao's appearance, she also felt that it was a chore.

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she said, "Isn't this good?" The crown prince is the future emperor, and it is not a bad thing to climb the relationship first! "As soon as the crown prince ascends the throne, Master Xiao will become an assistant minister, and when the time comes, how hard and hard will the face be!

Master Xiao sighed: "It's not easy to arrange, now a few ladies and princes in the palace are secretly pinching their black eyes, hey, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!" "The affairs of the heavenly family can really turn over in the blink of an eye, who knows if the wind blows in the southeast and northwest when the eyes are closed and then opened?

Everyone was eating, and Master Xiao was about to finish drinking the soup to moisten his throat, but he was also stopped by Mrs. Xiao.

"This is for red beans, and you will give me a grandson in the future!" Mrs. Xiao said a word, and Xi Hongdou, who had just taken a sip of soup here, choked, and then understood what this soup meant, making her face red and her neck thick.

Xiao Zhi was embarrassed when he saw Xi Hongdou, so he said, "Mother, what are you talking nonsense!" Then he took a handkerchief and wiped Xi Hongdou's mouth.

Master Xiao saw that his son could still serve others, so he smiled secretly, his son also has a time when he has a hundred steels and a soft finger!

"Isn't it sooner or later! Now I am conditioning my body first, and I will have a few more in the future, and I will now think about giving birth to at least three sons, and if I have a daughter, I will follow the fate! Mrs. Xiao said that as long as there are three eldest grandsons, Xi Hongdou will be a meritorious person in the family, and she will provide Xi Hongdou in the future!

Xi Hongdou listened to three, this ......

"This ......" Xi Hongdou is entangled, she also likes children, but three is also a bit much, and she still wants to be busy with her career outside in the future, and she doesn't want to be a full-time mother.

Mrs. Xiao said: "I heard that your Xiao family has twins and triplets in the last few generations, it would be better if you gave birth to three eldest grandsons in one go!" Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao still smiled, she will definitely not go anywhere if she has a grandson to take her in the future!

Xi Hongdou's heart trembled, if it weren't for Mrs. Xiao who hadn't seen the "world", it was estimated that she would be able to stuff the sow with "one litter and ten treasures".

When it comes to giving birth, Xi Hongdou still prefers to go with the flow, she is definitely willing to give birth, but let her give birth to so many ...... All of a sudden, my heart became heavy again. She can also understand Mrs. Xiao's feelings of looking forward to her grandson, after all, Xiao Zhi is the only seedling, and she can't be inconsiderate about the old man's desire for a child, and it is not her decision to give birth to a boy or a girl......

"Eat first, eat first!" Master Xiao said, Mrs. Xiao's words also made the children heavy, this has not passed the door yet, and the pressure is full first.

Everyone no longer talks about giving birth to a child, but Xi Hongdou also can't have an appetite, and after two bowls of tonic soup, there is no place in the stomach.

Xi Hongdou was also tired from the journey, and wanted to sleep first when he went back, Xiao Zhi originally wanted to talk about what his mother said at the dinner table, but seeing that the candle flame had been extinguished in Xi Hongdou's room, he didn't bother anymore, thinking that Xi Hongdou should be very upset about having a child.

Xi Hongdou, who returned to Kyoto City, began to continue his career, before he only thought that he was busy with his career on the one hand because he couldn't be idle, on the other hand, he also wanted to save some value for himself, but yesterday Mrs. Xiao's remarks to her grandson also made her anxious, if she can't give birth to a son in the future, the Xiao family still has three generations of single inheritance, what if Mrs. Xiao sweeps her out? Even if you don't sweep the floor and go out, take a concubine or something, then you can't see yourself having children with other women, and you can do it by inviting yourself to the court, don't even have a little body by then! The career in front of her is her last line of defense, the only way to retreat!

On the fifteenth day of the first month, everyone went home early, and there were not many customers at Xi Hongdou's stall, so she simply gave everyone a holiday, which was the last holiday of the New Year, and she also went home early.

Xiao Zhi was no longer at home at this time, and made an appointment with Su Yuanjia to go outside the city to participate in the poetry meeting, Mrs. Xiao saw that the sky was a little dark, and she was a little worried, so she waited at the door.

"It's almost time to leave, let the coachman pick up the people back." Mrs. Xiao told the housekeeper to do it.

As soon as Xi Hongdou heard it, he said that he wanted to pick up people together, but as soon as he saw his body, he changed into a good-looking one, Rue Xiang changed his clothes, and pulled a simple bun, which looked a lot more beautiful.

"Hey girl, how good it would be to dress up like this in the future, this look is no worse than those famous ladies!" Rue Xiang said bably, Xi Hongdou just doesn't pay attention to his image, it's good to dress up a little, if Mrs. Xiao looks at it, she can't always talk about Xi Hongdou or anything.

Xi Hongdou walked to the gate, just in time to see Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao saw that Xi Hongdou looked really good, so she said, "It's okay to look at, but you should hurry up." "Xi Hongdou went to the poetry club to pick up people, and he was rarely seen by other people's sons, so dressing up like this will definitely not make people think that Xiao Zhi's future daughter-in-law is a maid, and she can get by with her face.

Xi Hongdou nodded, got in the car and went directly with him.

Sitting in the carriage, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in Kyoto City is still lively, but everyone is around the stalls of lanterns, and everyone wants to go home to eat Lantern Festival at night, so there are not many people in the street snack restaurants.

When they arrived outside the city, it was a lot deserted, and soon they arrived at the location of their poetry meeting.

The small building outside the city is considered a "scenic spot", many literati like to gather here, there are ink treasures left by literati inside and outside the courtyard wall, Xi Hongdou smiled at a glance, although there are good poems, but there are also bullshit that don't make sense.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, the door opened, and when I saw someone outside, I said, "Someone is here to pick it up?"

Xi Hongdou looked at it, and all of them seemed to be a little drunk, and then found Xiao Zhi in the crowd.

Xiao Zhi's face was slightly drunk, it seemed that he had also drunk, and he was stunned when he saw Xi Hongdou, and then said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law, she is so beautiful!" ”

Xi Hongdou smiled, Xiao Zhi was also drunk by her two brothers in Xijia Village before, and the amount of alcohol was not very good, and I don't know how much I drank, so people want to let go a little!
