159 Rulers
As soon as Mingzhu arrived, almost all the rumors that were unfavorable to Zhao Hongqu disappeared in an instant. A little concubine, can be valued by our pearl princess, can that character be bad? Coupled with the pomp and circumstance of the second son of the Lin family when he greeted his relatives, and the hypnotic poems with affection, the rumors about the two of them have gone to ninety percent. In the end, the remaining ten percent is the result of self-hypnosis by some people with ulterior motives. After all, jealousy separates the hostage wall, and there is no way to do it.
The wedding of the Lin and Zhao families is like pouring ice water on the rumors boiling in the capital. No one will talk about these unreliable days in the teahouse and wine shop anymore, but anyone who starts up will be despised immediately. Of course, the spicy character of the late Qing county lord gave birth to a blue-eyed little son. This rumor has injected new vitality into the entertainment industry in Beijing.
In the three dynasties of the little prince of the late Qing County Lord's family, An Ning Yining followed Mingzhu as her mother's family to send "pork". Mingzhu was reluctant to let go as soon as she held this little doll, it was so beautiful!!
"Mother, mother, let me see!! Hurry up and show me!! An Ning and Yining, two brothers and sisters, looked at the little brother in their mother's arms.
Mingzhu crouched down so that they could all see. The baby's fetal hair is sparse and soft, and the color is not dark, but it can also be seen that it is black hair that follows the south evening. The baby's white and tender, chubby. Although his eyes were not yet fully open and he had no focal length, he was like two crystal clear eyes, so bright that they seemed to emit a blue light.
"Wow! - It's really blue!! It's so beautiful!! The ladies who came to watch the ceremony were amazed.
In a few moments, the little one fell asleep. Mingzhu reluctantly handed him over to the nurse waiting aside, and sat down next to Nan Wanqing to talk to her.
"Did the little guy get a name?!" Mingzhu asked.
"George gave her a nickname, Derek." Nan Wanqing said helplessly. In fact, this nickname does not conform to the aesthetics of the southern kingdom, but because George is in the prince's mansion, the child will only be taken from the genealogy of the southern clan in the future, just like Princess Chunhua. But Nan Wanqing felt that George was the child's father after all, and he should be happier if his nickname followed his wishes.
"I don't understand what it means. But presumably in the country of my brother-in-law, there should be a beautiful meaning. βDerekοΌ The ruler of the clan? Is this it? If so, Prince George probably has extraordinary expectations for this child!
Nan Wanqing nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, George said that the name means strong, independent, handsome and calm." I thought it would look good. "Derek, yes, that's it.
However, Mingzhu didn't say much, but changed the topic, just lemon: "Such a beautiful little doll has inherited all the advantages of your husband and wife." I'm afraid I'm going to be a demon-level beautiful man in the future!! Why isn't it my pinch?! Heyβso sad. β
Nan Wanqing's mood has been very sunny in the past few days, and after listening to Mingzhu's sour words, she was even more happy: "An Ning Yining, did you hear that?!" Your mother dislikes you for not looking good!! β
Seeing Nan Wanqing's provocation like this, Mingzhu was about to refute, but was intercepted by An Ning: "Hmph! - If you want to dislike it, you can only dislike herself! Who told her not to find a blue-eyed husband?! Otherwise, I could have looked so good!! β
These words were heard by Wei Ci, who had just stepped into the door, and Nan Wanqing and the ladies looked at him and laughed even more so that their stomachs hurt. Mingzhu hurriedly glanced at An Ning, and An Ning received a signal to hurry to survive: "But what's the use of just looking good?!" If you want to say that my mother's vision is better, she can beat your husband ten by herself!! No matter how beautiful it is, it's just like that when you are beaten and your face is swollen!! β
Then as soon as An Ning turned around, he said with an extremely exaggerated expression: "Wow - my wise and martial father is here!" β
Wei Ci reluctantly scraped the tip of Xiao Anning's nose: "If you dare to say bad things about your father and me, see if I don't spank your ass!" β
In fact, the appearance of An Ning and Yining is estimated to be top-notch in the future, but the exotic beauty of Xiao Shizi will definitely be a soul-grabbing existence in the future, and naturally it will not be comparable.
After the family returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, they went to Rong'an Hall to have dinner together as usual. Then the family gossiped together, and Lala was homely. When everyone left and went back to the hospital, Wei Wan suddenly stepped forward and took Mingzhu's arm and said to Wei Ci: "Big brother, lend me my sister-in-law, we have to talk quietly for a while." β
Even if Wei Ci didn't want to borrow it, he was embarrassed to say it directly. So he had no choice but to nod and take the two little ones back to the main courtyard. Before leaving, he gave Mingzhu a look of his own experience.
Mingzhu glared at him amusedly, and followed Wei Wan to the back garden. The back garden is beautiful, with lush trees and flowers. Even though it was the last quarter moon, the sky was clear and there was some light under the moon. The most beautiful are the fireflies among the flowers, a few of them, as if the stars have fallen.
"Look at you fighting with Wei Shu every day, why do you have time to talk to me today?!" Mingzhu said with a smile.
Wei Wan hung her head and said, "Didn't my sister-in-law ask me to go to the teahouse to listen to the story when I was fine?!" At first, Wei Shu knew that it was arranged by his sister-in-law, but he didn't say anything. Now I see that Tian'er said that I have nothing to do, and I am mixed with some people of three religions and nine ranks, and the Li family of the East family is short......"
After listening to Wei Wan's words, Mingzhu didn't know what to say. In fact, when Wei Wan went to Yuejiazhuang with her for the first time three years ago, Mingzhu had already thought about what she was going to do. But when she came back and talked to the old lady, the old lady stopped her. It's not that the old lady can't see her granddaughter-in-law go out and show her face, like Mingzhu, she has been in kindergarten all these years, and the old lady has never said anything. It's just that at that time, Wei Wan and Wei Shu were newly married, and the relationship between the two had not yet settled, and the old lady still hoped that they could spend more time together. It's best to wait until Wei Wan gives birth to a son and a half daughter.
So Mingzhu had to ask Wei Wan to go to the teahouse to listen to stories when Wei Shu was not at home, so as to prepare for her arrangements in the future. Wei Wan also likes this arrangement, she is originally a noisy person, and she listens to gossip every day. Now it is obvious that if this continues, it will really affect their relationship as a couple. But Mingzhu didn't want to go against the old lady's meaning, so she had to ask directly: "That, you and Wei Shu have been married for more than three years, why aren't you pregnant yet?!" Be...... Well, what else do you guys have in mind?! Still is...... Well, do you want us to quietly go to Shen Xuancao to show you? β
When Wei Wan heard this, she blushed: "This...... No, it's just that Wei Shu said that it is not good for a woman to give birth too early. I've been drinking shunzi soup before, but ...... But these two months have stopped. β
Mingzhu then remembered that Wei Wan was not yet nineteen years old this year. Tut-tut, the relationship has always been two minors playing at home before?! Since that's the case, it's easy to do. Mingzhu said directly to her: "Actually, this is the reason why I haven't arranged for you before, people say to start a family first and then start a business." I think for women, starting a family first is not just about marrying a good husband, but it is better to give birth to a child, so that things can be done. You can do it now, but in less than a year, you got pregnant and gave birth. And what about your career?! Abandon?! Or do things while taking care of the kids?! Let's not talk about whether you have so much energy, even if you have, after you are distracted, I am afraid that you will not be able to do well at both ends. β
Wei Wan felt that Mingzhu seemed to be reasonable, and she felt that she was fooling her, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Mingzhu didn't wait for her to understand, so she patted her on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you don't have to go to the teahouse." Your top priority is to be sure to conceive a baby! After the baby is weaned, I will naturally have arrangements for you. β
Wei Wan saw that Mingzhu had made up her mind, and there was no other way, so she had to nod her head and agree.
Who knew that it was also a coincidence, the next day Wei Wan's pregnancy reaction came, and she asked the doctor to come over to take a look, and she was really pregnant! So, from this day on, Wei Shu was so cautious that he didn't even dare to speak out loud. Wei Wan also lost her cranky thoughts, and all her food, clothing, housing and transportation were arranged by Mingzhu's four-month sister-in-law who had been trained at the beginning. The daily schedule is full, and someone will stop you if you take two steps faster, let alone fight with Wei Shu like before.
Mingzhu still works peacefully in the kindergarten, and she likes the feeling that everything is under control.
After Zhao Hongqu came out of the cabinet, Zhao Bailian knew that she was doing well, so she put her mind on the kindergarten again. At this time, Li Xiuyuan's grandmother has also returned to the main house, and Li Molian can finally go home and have dinner with her father every day.
Zhao Bailian lost the opportunity to contact Li Xiuyuan, and her heart slowly settled down, and she seriously taught the children every day.
But things are often so unexpected, not long after a holiday, after Zhao Bailian went home, Mrs. Zhao told her something after dinner.
"Xiaolian, have you had a relationship with that Li Xiuyuan recently?!" Mrs. Zhao said solemnly.
This question immediately caught Zhao Bailian off guard: "Mother?!" Mother, what do you mean by asking?! β
Mrs. Zhao didn't make a sound, just looked at her daughter fixedly.
Zhao Bailian became more and more panicked when she saw it, and a very ashamed emotion surged into her heart. I saw her blushing face and said: "Li Xiuyuan is the parent of a student in our class, we only met once when we were in kindergarten and after school, except for the student's business, my daughter has never said anything else to him." She struggled to forget the food box she had given out, and secretly told herself that it was just an untimely sympathy and nothing else.
However, Mrs. Zhao, who is old and sophisticated, was a little unconvinced, but she didn't mean to break the casserole and ask the end. just said with a wooden face: "Yesterday, I went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense. I happened to meet him by chance. The words "encounter by chance" are very heavy, and Zhao Bailian's ears are red when she listens to them.
"I've made it clear that I don't want to deal with him. But he doesn't know the current affairs, and he talks about some nonsense openly and secretly. Heh, I regret it now?! The concubine is in kindergarten, and he even has the kind intention to turn around and harm you again? He didn't want to think about it, if it wasn't for their family, why would my daughter be what she is today? The more Mrs. Zhao thought about it, the more angry she became.
Zhao Bailian couldn't help but defend him: "He didn't want to do it at the beginning, and he can only blame the Wang family for oppressing people with power, and blame his father for being inflammatory." β
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she knew that her daughter had another thought, so she poured a scoop of cold water on her without hesitation: "That's also his inappropriate business!" If he's a man who can stand up to things?! Where can you be manipulated by your own father and mother like this?! Don't think about anything!! I slapped him back. People say that a high family marries a girl, and I don't want to be a high family now. Next year will be the year of the imperial examination again. I have already agreed with your father that I will choose a son-in-law for you in the rush to Beijing to take the exam. We don't look at any family, we only look at character and talent.
Don't worry about these things in the future, just go back to kindergarten and do what you like. With Princess Mingzhu taking care of you, your reputation in the capital has slowly changed for the better recently. You have to cherish it even more. Don't let me hear that you and Li Xiuyuan have anything to do with each other! My Zhao family can't afford to lose this person!! Ahemβ"
Seeing that her mother was so excited, Zhao Bailian hurriedly gave her a smooth breath, and said gloomily: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter promises that she will no longer have any dealings with Li Xiuyuan in the future." Even if it's his daughter's business, I'll try to let other gentlemen do it in the future. Rest assured. β
When Mrs. Zhao saw that her daughter had made a guarantee, her emotions eased up, and she said gently: "It's not that my mother is unreasonable, it's really that this Li Xiuyuan is not a good match."
I won't mention the marriage between him and you at the beginning, it's like a waste of snacks.
Let's just talk about his wife and concubine, the jokes in the capital, who doesn't know?! If he is really willing to give his marriage for the sake of the family, then he should treat his wife well. Although Wang Lianyi can't get along with you since childhood, it is also because your temperament is originally somewhat similar. They are all spoiled by the family to be strong, and if there is anything, they will be directly strong, and they don't understand at all, or they don't care about the twists and turns of the back house. With a body of arrogance, how can he fight the concubine who grew up in the gutter?!
In fact, when Wang Lianyi and that pity Xue died together, my mother didn't know how lucky she was. You ask yourself, what will happen if you go against that mercy snow?!
Li Xiuyuan's poor character is even worse, he is still blind! He didn't see Wang Lianyi's goodness at all, could he really see you?!
Don't be stupid, what people are looking for now is still a noble daughter from a wealthy family as a steproom. If you weren't the daughter of the Zhao family, he would still find you?! But my Zhao family's daughter-in-law, no matter how it is, there is absolutely no reason to be a steproom for this kind of person!! β
Zhao Bailian listened to her mother's words and nodded silently.
