Chapter 425: Is It Worth It?
Xu Lanyin took out the fifty taels of silver that Xu Qingyan and his wife gave to the old couple, the gifts they gave to Dafang and Xu Zhiniang, and took out the gifts she gave to them and Xu Zhiniang.
The gifts she gave were basically made by the Imperial Palace, snacks made by the Imperial Dining Room, various trinkets made by the Internal Affairs Office, and a few tribute satins.
These things used by the royal people made the Xu family happy, and they said that they would take them back and offer them, and they were reluctant to use them.
After dinner, the Xu family was sent away, and the Wen brothers had not yet returned.
Xu Lanyin asked people to call He Dong, who had already returned after the next morning, in.
He Dong came in and said with a smile, Su Qing cried with joy when she heard about it, and said that she would personally bring Gu Qian here in a few days to thank Grandma Wen Si......
Xu Lanyin nodded, and asked Zhangqi to take He Dong to clean up the courtyard on the other side, which was actually to give them a chance to be alone.
He Dong is twenty-one years old, and he has the right eye for chess. These two people liked and trusted Wen Zhuoan and Xu Lanyin at the same time, helped them make their words clear, and let them get married early next year.
He Xi was favored by a steward of the Nanyang Eldest Princess's Mansion and gave him his daughter, and got married at the end of this year.
Xu Lanyin didn't have enough manpower, so she bought four girls in the capital and handed them over to Mama Wei for training. I also bought a few houses and listened to orders in Xiqinghou Mansion with Uncle Lin and his wife.
Wen Zhuoan came back at the beginning of the year.
He said that he invited the Minhu family in the evening, and several people drank happily. Wen Zhuofeng and Qin Hongyu are scheduled to get married on the first day of October this year, and the Qin family has another courtyard in the capital, and Qin Hongyu will go there in mid-September to get married. Wen Zhuofeng is still busy repairing the grave, and he will return to Beijing tomorrow in a hurry......
The next day, after sending Wen Zhuofeng away, Xu Lanyin invited the Qin family and the Hu family to play for another day. Min Nan has gone to the capital to get married, and she and Mrs. Min are not there.
After that, Qin Hongyu and Hu Yi came to the Wen family almost every day to play, and the two brides-to-be were very happy.
Xu Lan had some pregnancy reactions, so she told them about her cousin and uncle when she was in good spirits, and she closed her mind when she was not in good spirits. The two girls told each other about the preparation of their dowries, and did not feel neglected at all.
Five days later, Su Qing came with Gu Qian and Sister-in-law He.
Su Qing's health is still not good, her face is sallow, and she is so thin that she can be blown down by a gust of wind, but the joy on her face is still a little vivid.
Gu Qian is already one year old and one month old, and the little guy is very beautiful, with a white face, slightly upward peach blossom eyes, a straight nose, and thin angular lips, which are eight points similar to Gu Wangchen. He staggered a few steps forward, listened to his mother's words, and made a gesture to Xu Lanyin, calling "Aunt Xu". At first glance, he is an extremely intelligent child.
This appearance made Xu Lanyin dislike, but seeing the child's clear eyes and smiling at him flatteringly, Xu Lanyin's heart softened again. Pulled him over, wiped the drooling for him, and said, "Good boy, your mother is not easy, you have to listen to your mother's words, study hard, and be a good person." ”
Gu Qian agreed very happily, "Okay...... Study, ...... well Be a person, be a Confucian, not an official. ”
Su Qing was deeply hurt by Gu Wangchen's "self-motivated" and ruthless face-turning, without the previous edges and ambitions, she has been teaching her children like this.
This kind of Su Qing made Xu Lan take a look. It is not easy for a reborn girl to be able to calm down and live a peaceful life and break with all the glitz and glamour of the past.
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "What a smart kid, he can say so many words, and he knows Confucianism." He also asked someone to bring him a set of good pen and ink inkstones prepared in advance, and said with a smile, "Study hard, if you need Aunt Xu's help, you can go to the capital to find me." ”
The little one made another gesture and said, "Thank you, thank you, rejoice." ”
Su Qing still couldn't help but care about Gu Wangchen.
Xu Lanyin told the truth that although Gu Wangchen was sentenced and Zhou Zimei gave birth to a daughter, life was not easy. Because the Zhou family was not satisfied with this son-in-law, they felt that he misbehaved and seduced the Zhou family's daughter to do ugly things, so his career would not be of much help to him.
Su Qing nodded. Secretly, now that Xu Lanyin has become the granddaughter-in-law of the Queen Mother, Gu Wangchen once hurt Xu Lanyin like that, even if it was against Xu Lanyin, the Zhou family would not help him.
Thinking of Gu Wangchen, who was unscrupulous for his own self-interest, Su Qing was still a little sad. Is it worth hurting those closest to you for the sake of an inexplicable future?
Xu Lan stayed at home for Su Qing and the three of them to have dinner, and called a mule cart to send them away at the end of the morning.
Wen Zhuoan finished handling his official and private affairs, and made a special trip to visit the monk who quit the idiot, Wen Qizuo, and He Zhutou, and in early June, he was going to rush back to Beijing to go to the government.
Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Xu meant to let Wen Zhuoan go back first, and Xu Lanyin would return to Beijing after the fetus was three months old. Wen Zhuoan and Xu Lanyin were unwilling, taking a boat was more stable than taking a carriage, and insisted on walking together.
On the third day of junior high school, the family went to the pier outside the city to take a boat.
On the first day, many relatives and friends sent Cheng Yi. Mrs. Xu pulled Xu Lanyin to cry and told her to go back and tell Xu Qingyan that he should take time to go back and see them more, they wanted their son and grandson. Old man Xu knew that he had completely offended the Chai family, and he was even more afraid that the Nanyang Eldest Princess's Mansion would teach him a lesson, and he didn't dare to mention going to the capital with them to enjoy happiness if he wanted to go crazy.
Min Hu, Min Can, Qin Ru, Xu Dashi Brothers, Xu Yuan, Hu Wan, Wu Shopkeeper and others, as well as some officials who got along well with Wen Zhuo'an, kept sending them on the ship.
Sitting by the window and looking at the landscape that was gradually moving away, Xu Lanyin knew that it would be rare for him to come back in the future.
Wen Zhuoan saw Xu Lanyin's sadness, took her into his arms and said, "This is only more than five hundred miles away from the capital, if you want to be here and Xiaozao Village, I will accompany you back to play for a few days." ”
When she returned to Wenfu on the evening of the fifth day of June, Xu Lanyin felt a little bad. I asked the imperial doctor to come to check the pulse, saying that there was some convulsion, and let her rest in bed for a month.
Wen Zhuoan knew that the pot was made of iron, and many things could not be willful, so he was so frightened that his face turned white, and he regretted that he should not let Xu Lanyin come back with him.
The next day, Chai led Xu Lanyue to Wen Mansion to visit her.
Chai said that there were also two happy events in the Nanyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, one was that Chai Jingjing, the princess of Pingjun, gave birth to a son, and the other was that Ma was pregnant again.
He said, "Listen to the eldest princess, it seems that Ma is pregnant and listened to what you said, and the eldest princess said that she accepted your love." ”
In the evening, the Queen Mother gave Xu Lanyin a lot of tonic medicine to let her rest well. asked the Chai family to take Wen Mingxi to Cining Palace tomorrow, she wanted to revisit her grandson.
Xu Lanyin ate, slept, ate, and lived a life like a rice worm. Soon more than a month passed, and it was mid-July.
Xu Lan was able to get up and move freely, and the fetus was three months old and sat firmly. It's just that this time I'm obviously bigger than last time.
