After breakfast, Mingzhu asked Si Hai to carry the food box and led Linglong and Linlang to the Guogong Mansion in the next town.

The concierge Uncle Qin and Mama Li have been paying attention since they opened the door from the princess's mansion, and when they saw Princess Mingzhu and her party coming, they immediately saluted: "See Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Mama Li said: "Mrs. Tai ordered the slave maid to wait here early in the morning, and asked the princess to come with me." Turned to Uncle Qin: "Grandma Da Shao is back home, hurry up and open the main door to welcome guests!" ”

Mingzhu hurriedly stopped and asked with a smile: "They all said that they were back to the house, which guest did they welcome?" ”

Mama Li hurriedly slapped her mouth: "Look at the stupid mouth of the slave, you should be beaten!" Young Grandma, please—"

"You don't have to go to the front door, let's go through the side door." Mingzhu commanded.

"No."

This high gate is a main gate on both sides of the door, the main gate is extremely open and thick, every time it opens, the movement is great. Therefore, unless it is a wedding and funeral sacrifice and other major gifts, generally the family members go through the side door when they enter and exit. Of course, the "distinguished guest" walking through the front door is also a kind of respect.

Speaking of which, this predecessor is really unsophisticated. On the day of the tea ceremony, Mrs. Tai saw that their young couple was newly married, so she was exempted from asking for peace every day. After that, she really didn't come to the door once!

This temptation in front of the door is really well-intentioned.

Bypassing the shadow wall, I saw that the vision in this country mansion was wide, and every grass, tree, and stone was tall and rugged. The house is majestic, the bricks are solid and wooden, and the carvings are strong and simple.

When they met three or two slaves, they were busy, and when they saw the princess passing by, they all went about their own business after making a salute.

Mingzhu smiled secretly, if he entered from the main gate just now, it is estimated that there will be a "grand scene" of "Hefu coming to welcome" in the inner courtyard. And then how? Treat her as a bodhisattva?

In this way, the group came to the Rong'an Hall in the West Courtyard.

Entering the door, before Mrs. Tai got up, Mingzhu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Granddaughter-in-law Mingzhu greets grandmother." ”

"Good! Good! Good! Mrs. Tai laughed, her voice was loud and bright, and her spirit was strong.

I saw that she was wearing a moon-white streamer pleated skirt with blue edges, and a navy blue streamer forging gown full of embroidered silver silk peonies. There is a bat pattern comb grate with a silver background and emerald dotted on the bun. Ming Mingzhu is glorious and rich, but it is difficult to hide this neat and chic temperament.

"Come, Mingzhu sit down here, let me take a closer look"

Mingzhu obediently stepped forward and sat on the edge of the kang by Mrs. Tai.

Today's Pearl is a bright green half-arm skirt covered with a goose yellow water veil. Holding the lily bun, the bun is decorated with a cluster of fresh spring flowers on both sides of the bun, which is elegant and smart. Just smiled and let Mrs. Tai look at it.

"Good!" Mrs. Tai couldn't help but say again: "She is worthy of being the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of my Wei family!" ”

Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, I also think that I am very good now." He looked at Mrs. Tai with a sincere face: "Before, my granddaughter-in-law didn't know the world and wanted to fork the road." I also hope that my grandmother will be tolerant. ”

Mrs. Tai was very surprised, thought about it, and said for a while: "We women, the first time we get married, we will have such and such thoughts, this is human nature. If you regard yourself as a member of the family, a family member, how can you not tolerate each other? ”

Without waiting for Mingzhu to answer, Mrs. Tai said again: "When you come today, I wanted to explain you, most of the Wei men died on the battlefield, so naturally the women of my Wei family should also make some psychological preparations." Only this time, although Wei Ci has been missing for more than a month, you don't have to be too anxious. Back then, Wei Ci's grandfather was scattered in the rebellious army and lost his way. strayed into the enemy camp and spent a whole year finding the right time to return. At that time, everyone thought he was dead and the funeral was done for him. As a result, on the day he returned, Wei Ci's father almost fainted with fright......"

Mingzhu saw that Mrs. Tai was caught in the memory, and did not interrupt, and listened quietly.

"You first experienced the death of the first emperor, and then your husband went on an expedition, and you felt uncomfortable, and you closed your door for two months. Later, I heard that you had a fetal gas due to Wei Ci's disappearance. I'm very anxious about you in my heart, and I'm afraid that a person like you will not be able to get over the hurdle for a while. Mrs. Tai paused when she said this.

"Fortunately, looking at the way you look now, you have figured it out. He can't come back, and life still has to live. After all, I'm going to be a mother's mother soon. Happy or unhappy, it's a lifetime. Mingzhu, you will be your grandmother's granddaughter in the future. ”

Mingzhu saw that Mrs. Tai was so wise and open-minded, and her heart was extremely useful: "Don't talk about that, grandmother, you see, granddaughter-in-law is beautiful today?!" I chose my clothes for the morning and picked this one. I'm afraid you don't like it when you look at it. "I was very proud to look at it like that.

The more Mrs. Tai looked at it, the more she was happy, so she took a closer look at it according to her words, and looked doting: "Mingzhu is really beautiful today!" The style of clothes chosen is very flattering to the skin tone, but at this moment, it seems that the spring flowers have lost some spirit? ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Mama Li on the side and ordered: "I remember when I was young, there was a set of imperial green, which matched this set of clothes, and you went to get it." ”

Hearing this, Mingzhu looked fascinated by wealth: "Ah! Isn't this earned? Wrong! I'm here now, haven't I missed out on a lot of good things? "Pretending to be remorseful" babble, it's really a big loss. ”

Mrs. Tai laughed when she heard this: "Isn't it a big loss?!" Distressed, right?! ”

At this time, Mama Li came and handed over a brocade box.

Mrs. Tai handed the brocade box to Mingzhu.

Mingzhu opened it and saw that this set of imperial green jewelry, a full set of more than 20 pieces, combs, hairpins, nails, pendants, chains, wears, hairpins, bracelets...... It's almost all right. And the style is simple and elegant, and the carving is extremely exquisite. Really, make a lot of money!

Seeing Mingzhu's eyes squinted like a cat, Mrs. Tai raised her hand and picked off the spring flowers on Mingzhu's head. A pair of butterfly hairpins were taken from the brocade box and they were inserted in the original position of the spring flowers. I saw that this pair of green butterflies was as thin as paper and as green as a lake. From time to time, it will be gently stroked with the wind, and it is very smart.

Mingzhu shines in a bronze mirror and is quite satisfied with the current shape. "Since I have received a generous gift, Mingzhu will also express it to her grandmother." As he spoke, he handed the brocade box to Si Chai, turned around and took the food box from Linglong's hand.

When I opened the food box, a strong milky smell spread. An insulated urn with charcoal is buried, and in the center is a silver plum blossom plate with five egg tarts in the center.

Yes, egg tarts. Mingzhu actually doesn't like to eat egg tarts, it's too sweet and greasy. It's just that I have to admit that its crispy taste on the outside and tender on the inside must be very pleasing to the elderly.

"Grandmother tastes the craftsmanship of the pearl, this is a small snack I made this morning, I don't know if it suits your taste."

Sure enough, Mrs. Tai tasted it and praised endlessly, "Hmm...... Delicious! Not bad! ”

I ate two in a row, and I wanted to eat again, but I was stopped by Mingzhu. "Grandmother can't eat anymore, this sweet and greasy thing, should be stopped. Leave one for you to eat in the afternoon, and leave two for Wei Shu to taste as well. ”

Mrs. Tai looked reluctant, but she still accepted it with kindness.

Mama Li looked at Mingzhu with a grateful face, took the food box, turned around and said to Mrs. Tai, "You are also a person who is under the care of your grandchildren, so you have to take care of your health." Seeing that your great-grandchildren are coming, you will have to be busy in the future. ”

Mrs. Tai thought about it, it was really like this, and she was immediately happy, "Yes, yes, I will live a few more years and bring my great-grandson." ”

Mingzhu also smiled, "It's good now, with my grandmother's hand, I can be considered at ease." Every time I think of two dolls in my belly, I am happy and sad. I'm worried that this is my first time as a mother, and they won't give face. ”

......

In this way, the grandfather and grandson talked and laughed for a long time, and they were happy. Until Mingzhu showed sleepiness, Mrs. Tai said: "Sleepy, your body is important, go back and rest for a while." Now our house revolves around you, and you can come at any time, no need to be formal. ”

"Grandmother is very interesting here, tomorrow Mingzhu will come to accompany you for morning food?"

Mrs. Tai nodded, "It's okay, come early, and see Shu'er, tomorrow the first school will be closed, and your eldest sister-in-law will have to discipline her more in the future." ”

After saying a few more words, Mingzhu said goodbye and went home.

-------------------------------------------------

After taking a nap for half an hour, Mingzhu went to the study again. After thinking about it for a few days, this time I quickly prepared a pregnancy recipe. She listed all the foods she could think of that contained folic acid, calcium, DHA, and protein.

summoned Si Cha and ordered, "Si Cha, you look at these ingredients, and you can discuss it with Si Wei in a while." From this day on, my meals will rotate in this range. At least every seven days, the ingredients on it have to be rotated again. ”

Sicha took the recipe and read it, although it was not the first time to see the princess's calligraphy, but every time it was a surprise.

This time, Si Cha was a little unhappy, and looked embarrassed: "Your Highness, although this bird's nest and shark fin are expensive, they are in stock in the house and the palace, and it is no problem to eat them for three or five months." Although these matsutake mushrooms and royal jelly are rare, we should be able to receive some if we look for them more. However, this fresh yellow-lipped fish and cod are really rare. If you follow this, I am afraid that you will have to consume more than 100 times a day. ”

Mingzhu heard this, although she was a little surprised, but she also felt that it was acceptable. After all, this is an era in which the infant mortality rate reaches 30%. Now every time you lay a foundation, you will have a better chance of surviving your baby in the future. In particular, the fetus should not be too big, so it can only be guaranteed in quality but not quantity.

"It's okay, eat first. Anyway, you can't eat poor, and you can talk about it when you're poor. Mingzhu made a silent calculation in her heart, and she didn't care. Her dowry with ten miles of red makeup is not a joke, and there are 100,000 silver tickets at the bottom of the box alone. In addition, the normal monthly expenses of the house are only 2,000 yuan, and there are incomes from shops and Zhuangzi to fill it, so it is not too much and balanced.

Seeing this, Si Cha no longer persuaded him, so he was ordered to retreat.

(The current price is like this: 1 big money can buy 1 steamed bun.) 10 large coins "iron" = 1 tael "copper", 1000 wen = 1 guan = 1 tael of silver, 10 taels of silver = 1 tael of gold. So if you substitute it, 1 run ≈ RMB1W. Luxury? Princess. ）

After completing a big task, Mingzhu was a little bored.

I thought that I would often go to the Guogong Mansion in the future, what are you doing? Chat? While grandmothers are indeed interesting, there is always a time when the topic is exhausted. Or......

Mingzhu immediately summoned the ingenious Si Chai and Si Jin to make playing cards with Yingluo, who was waiting in the study.

This is a deck of Chinese playing cards, 2-10 with simplified numbers, JQKA has become A, B, C, D, and the size of the king remains the same.

Soon, the four of them made two minimalist versions. Before it was done, Mingzhu pulled Si Chai and Si Jin and taught them to play the simplest way to run fast. I forgot the time for this play, and it wasn't until Si Cha came to urge me that I stopped for lunch.

Amber was on the side, carefully drawing another deck of cards. 2-10 Well, she casually carved four small chapters of black and red plum squares out of wood, and they were printed in a while. What needs to be carefully outlined by her is A, B, C, D, and the big and small kings.

In the afternoon, Mingzhu woke up after a nap and found that the playing cards had spread to the whole house in a small half a day. I was a little speechless for a while.
