Just thinking about it, he came back after the killing, saying that Yin Sheng had agreed to Qingdi to go out of the palace tonight, but he had to rush back to the palace at midnight and continue to go to court tomorrow.

Qingdi and Chu Yaocen hurried out of the palace.

Chu Yaocen went to the palace as soon as he returned to the imperial city, and did not go directly to the Chu family, but Yingkong came to the Chu family first, and informed Chu Chengguan and Chu Linyuan of the news of Chu Yaocen's return, and the two of them were very happy, and they had already prepared a table of meals, waiting for Chu Yaocen and Qingdi to come over.

Qingdi went back to his home and took Xiao Ling'er with him. Now the family of three is sitting in the carriage and rushing to the Chu family, looking very warm.

Now Ling'er is more than a year old, and she is taken care of by the apricots on weekdays, she will stagger and walk, and a few unclear words will pop out of her mouth, and she is soft, chubby, and very cute.

Qingdi couldn't love this white jade-like little doll as soon as she saw it, and she kept holding Ling'er in her arms all the way and making Ling'er laugh. Now she was saying to her gently: "Ling'er, call me mother quickly." ”

"Sheep ......" Ling'er couldn't speak clearly, giggling, and her face was full of joy.

Chu Yaocen also felt that this child was much better looking than when he was born, so he didn't reject her as much as before, and even reached out to touch her little face, and smiled: "It's really soft." ”

Qingdi hugged Ling'er away, and deliberately said to him with a straight face: "Didn't you say that Ling'er was not your own at first, so you don't like her?" Why do you look like you like Ling'er so much now? ”

"How do I know that this little baby has grown up to be human, she was crumpled and fluffy like a monkey when she was born, would you like monkeys?" Chu Yaocen argued with Qingdi.

Qingdi glanced at him and said, "Are you still reasonable?" Let me tell you, there is no newborn child who does not look like a monkey. Don't you like the little monkey I gave birth to in the future? ”

Chu Yaocen hurriedly said: "That's not, as long as it's my own birth, I like how ugly it looks." ”

Qingdi couldn't help laughing, how could he talk like this, he hadn't given birth to a child yet, so he said that his child was ugly.

The carriage walked for a while, and Chu Yaocen stared at Xiao Ling'er for a long time, and said, "You hug me." ”

Qingdi glanced up at him, and saw that he was really greedy, so he sent Xiao Ling'er to him and said, "Be careful, don't fall on my daughter." ”

"I know, I won't fall when I hold you, can I still fall when I hold a child?" Chu Yaocen said as he carefully took Ling'er from Qingdi's hand.

Ling'er also kept staring at Chu Yaocen just now, although she was just a baby, she also liked beautiful things, she saw that Chu Yaocen was so handsome, and now that she was finally in his arms, she also giggled, leaned over and kissed Chu Yaocen's face, looking very happy.

This little soft thing was against his chest, Chu Yaocen felt that his heart was about to melt, it turned out that he was so happy to have a child, no wonder Qingdi had always had to take this child in before.

"Call Daddy." Chu Yaocen said to her.

"Daddy, Daddy." Ling'er didn't squirm at all, and immediately called out.

Seeing this, Qingdi couldn't help pinching Ling'er's little face, and said with some jealousy: "You conscienceless little ghost, it's not good to shout at your mother, but you can't shout at your father." ”

Qingdi didn't make any effort, Ling'er didn't feel pain, and smiled stupidly at Qingdi again.

Chu Yaocen raised his eyebrows, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said to Qingdi: "Little fox, you can also give me a few children, how bad it is for a child to be lonely." ”

Qingdi snorted and said, "You want a child again, and you want to leave me alone in the imperial city, how can I give birth to you." ”

Seeing Qingdi's reaction when he heard this kind of words, he didn't blush, lowered his head and said, "I don't want to give birth to you", but said such words coquettishly, Chu Yaocen felt a little uncontrollable...... Now his wife, how did she change from a little girl who is as pure as water to be so angry?

But it's all good, he likes it all.

But what Qingdi said just now, Chu Yaocen couldn't answer her, because Wu Guo definitely wanted to go.

After a while, when they arrived at Chu's house, the family of three got out of the carriage and went straight to the front hall. The three members of Chu Linyuan's family, as well as Chu Chengguan, Chu Yan'er and He's family, were all waiting at the dinner table. On this breezy summer night, the family really had a reunion dinner.

After eating, they went to the pavilion outside and sat and talked.

Chu Chengguan looked at his youngest son, who he hadn't seen for a long time, his eyes were full of love, and after looking at him for a while, he asked him: "I heard that you have opened up all the trade roads of the Southern Barbarian Country, and you have also met with the Southern Barbarian King, and you have made the first jade business?" ”

Chu Yaocen nodded: "Yes, to be precise, it's the jade business." The Southern Barbarian Kingdom is full of jade, but they lack a lot of food, medicine, clothing, and so on to survive. They don't want gold, silver and jewelry, and my first business is to exchange the abundant notoginseng in southern Xinjiang for jadeite. ”

Chu Chengguan nodded with a smile, very pleased. It's really good, the Chu family has been involved in the business of other countries in the west and east, and now even the south is arranged, and his Chu family's huge wealth status in the Li country is unshakable.

Chu Linyuan was also happy for him, and said: "My younger brother has just accepted business things independently, and he has made such achievements, so he is ashamed to be a brother, and his younger brother is really talented." ”

"Of course, I didn't take over independently, I was my military advisor in the air, but it helped me a lot." Chu Yaocen looked at Chu Linyuan and chuckled: "Big brother has helped me take care of the business here in the imperial city this year, I don't know how to thank big brother." ”

"You and my brother, say nothing thank you or not. Now that Konglai is checking the year's accounts with the housekeeper, let's take a look. Chu Linyuan said.

Chu Yaocen nodded, then turned to Chu Chengguan and said, "Dad, come with us, it just so happens that I will tell you the voice of Southern Xinjiang in detail." ”

Chu Chengguan answered, and the three men went to the account room.

There were still Qingdi and Duanmu in the pavilion, and their two children, and He was watching a few of them from the side.

When the family first separated, the power of the He family fell into the hands of the Duanmu family, and she was not happy at first, and felt that the Duanmu family had a gentle personality and would definitely not be able to do the things of the family. Who knows that the Duanmu clan has not only done a good job, but for more than a year, because of her enthusiasm and gentleness, the family has been happy and convinced of her, unlike when the He family was strict before, everyone was unconvinced.

Even Chu Lihuan, after no longer interacting with her more, has become much more sensible, and no longer keeps saying anything about taking the family property, but with him, a pure mother, he has learned a lot of morality in dealing with the world.

He looked at them for a while, and finally couldn't sit still, and stepped forward and said to Qingdi: "Qingdi, I haven't seen you for more than a year, I didn't expect Chu Yaocen to be so promising, the business of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom must have made a lot of money, right?" ”

As soon as He spoke, Qingdi knew what she wanted.

He was still afraid that Qingdi wouldn't understand what she meant, and said, "Do you know? Lin Yuan helped you and Yao Cen take care of business affairs this year, and the money earned was still yours, and he couldn't ask for commissions, if he did, wouldn't it be the people you hired in the past? But I also know that you and Yao Cen are both upright people, and you won't take advantage of others, right? ”

Qingdi smiled slightly, He's greed is simply imprinted in her bones, no matter what, she can't change it.

Qingdi won't fall out with her this time, with He's level, she doesn't even have the qualifications to make her turn her face now. Qingdi smiled slightly, and made a color to the apricot, and the apricot quickly took out the two boxes they brought from home, Qingdi took it, handed one to Duanmu, and the other to He, and then Qingdi smiled and said: "This is the beautiful jade brought by Yaocen from southern Xinjiang, be careful, and hope that the sister-in-law and mother-in-law will accept it." ”

He knew that the jade over there in Nanban was the best, so he hurriedly opened the box and saw a piece of white jade the size of an egg and translucent throughout, and was immediately speechless by surprise, it was really beautiful.

Duanmu also opened the box and glanced at her jade, which was a pair of fluorescent green bracelets. Duanmu picked up the bracelet, and the light in the pavilion hit Duanmu's face directly through the bracelet, like a reflection cast by a pool of clear water.

The He family was stunned, such a jade with such a full head of water must be a priceless treasure. In comparison, the piece of white jade in his hand is quite cheap, and the He family is very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that Qingdi is deliberate, and now that the Duanmu family is in charge, the family members at home are all high and low, catering to the Duanmu family everywhere, not taking her in their eyes, but I didn't expect Qingdi to be like this.

And everyone knows that the Nanban country is rich in jadeite, and the pair in the hands of the Duanmu clan is the real specialty of the Nanban, and the white jade in his hand doesn't know where Chu Yaocen bought it casually.

Duanmu also liked this pair of bracelets, and said: "It's really called Yao Cen to break the fee, this pair of bracelets must be very valuable, right?" I like it, but I always feel deserved......"

"What's the matter, it's just a little bit of heart, Yao Cen said it's not expensive." Qingdi hurriedly waved his hand.

When He heard Duanmu say this, he couldn't help but snort sourly, and said, "If you think it's too valuable, you can't afford it, why don't you exchange it with me, I'm not valuable." ”

Duanmu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard He say this in front of Qingdi, and hurriedly smiled at Qingdi.

Qingdi didn't care, and said: "Since they have been given to my sister-in-law and mother-in-law, it depends on how you like to exchange." ”

Duanmu has always followed He's, so he had to hand over the pair of bracelets to He's and said, "Since my mother-in-law likes it, let's exchange it with my mother-in-law." ”

He was overjoyed in his heart, handed over the white jade in his hand to the Duanmu family, and took over the pair of priceless green jadeite.

Qingdi saw that the two of them had exchanged things, and couldn't help laughing: "Yao Cen also said just now that the Southern Barbarian Country is rich in jade, which is actually not accurate, to be precise, the Southern Barbarian Country is rich in jade, which is the green or red jade in the hands of my mother-in-law." The mutton fat jade in the hands of the sister-in-law, but Yao Cen asked someone to buy it from Hetian, it is so pure and flawless, and it is the most suitable for a clean and simple woman like the sister-in-law. ”

What the? That white jade is actually mutton fat jade? As soon as He heard this, his intestines were about to repent.
