Extra-two
"The mourning family misses the north."
When the Empress Dowager thought of that soft boy with a pink dumpling, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
And Nianbei is the eldest son of Li Chun and Cheng Ziyu.
The Empress Dowager has not seen the Ziyu family for more than two years.
Li Nianbei, this name was given by the Empress Dowager.
Concise.
When Ziyu and the Queen Mother went south together, it was revealed that Li Chun might join the Cheng family after leaving office, which made the Queen Mother at that time helpless and embarrassed.
Li Chun followed his mother's surname for various reasons, will his child still be like this in the future?
Therefore, not long after the death of the first emperor, the queen mother found Li Chun and asked him if he had the intention of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors.
Li Chun shook his head slightly.
He didn't have it when the first emperor was there, and he was even more reluctant at the moment.
He only wants that at the right time, he can look at his face and rehabilitate the glorious Li family in the past. Others, including the fact that he is a descendant of the Li family, do not need to be passed on. This was what his mother wanted, and he would never dare to disobey it.
Because of this, the Queen Mother has always felt uncomfortable. Not only can the royal family not recognize it, not only does it not dare to expose it, but she also has to be a son-in-law, how is she, an elder, a slap in the face? But this is the only thing the child wants......
For this reason, the Queen Mother sighed and sighed, and cherished Li Chun even more in her heart.
In short, plans often don't change as quickly as they come.
As the situation walked, the two eldest sons of the Cheng family gradually gained access and began to shine. Needless to say, Cheng Zinuo is a rising star valued by the emperor and has a bright future.
And after Cheng Ziming asked to marry and entered the painting, his infatuation gradually faded, he knew how to take responsibility, and gradually changed his life. Especially under several coincidences, his paintings with great charm have gained a certain popularity in Beijing and have been sought after by some people.
After Cheng Ziming's paintings and fame were combined with Cheng Jiatao, they promoted each other.
After Cheng Ziyu became pregnant, she took on the production of the workshop, and soon, the operation of the entire workshop was handed over to the painting.
The two of them gradually began to play a major role in the affairs of the Cheng family.
In this way, the Cheng family has no successors to worry about, and there is no shortage of men to stand up to the sky, so there is not much point for Li Chun to become rich.
Therefore, Li Chun and Cheng Ziyu's children are still surnamed Li, which can be regarded as the blood of the Li family.
But Cheng Hui still greeted Li Chun early in the morning, and if the Cheng family does not have a suitable inheritor in the future, he still has to hand over the skills to them. At that time, their children must still have at least one family tree in Cheng, follow their mother's surname Cheng, and inherit the craft.
Li Chun is alone, and he has already taken the Cheng family as his home, so he naturally has no opinion.
On the second day after Cheng Ziyu gave birth, the Empress Dowager came in person.
This child is of royal blood, and he is Li Chun's eldest son, his own good great-grandson, and the Queen Mother is really happy to see it. She took the initiative to ask for a name, wanting to give shelter and at the same time wanting to be closer to the child.
She held the child and looked at Li Chun.
"Is it okay to call Nianbei? Li Nianbei. ”
The Empress Dowager's gaze was firmly fixed on Li Chun. She was afraid that he would never return, or never see him again. I just ask him to think more about his relatives in the north and the elderly. Even if he can't come back, I hope he can remember.
"Good, naturally good." Li Chun's state of mind has long been released, how can there be anything that should not be. "The North is my roots, and no matter where I am, I will never forget the North and the people who raised me. I'll read it! ”
He spoke lightly, but the sincerity of his words still made the old lady's eyes red.
Especially when he finally took the initiative for the first time, he personally helped her to the seat, which made her almost roll into tears.
Although Li Chun treated her more gently than the first emperor, he never maintained a distance that could never be closed. At this moment, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed by this active closeness.
In the next nearly three years, Li Chun devoted himself to filial piety and tried his best to make up for his past regrets......
Yes, although five years have passed, Cheng Ziyu and Li Chun only returned to Jingxi two years ago.
Originally, Cheng Ziyu planned to return after Cheng Zinuo got married, but later it was delayed again and again due to childbirth and confinement.
After the situation stabilized, the future of the Cheng family was bright, and the original risks disappeared. Far from fearless, near no threat, Zhu Changzhe, the new emperor, has taken care of it many times, and the Jingzhong Workshop can also take over nearly half of the Cheng family's production, which slows down their pace of going south.
Second, it is Zhu Changzhe, who often comes uninvited during the New Year's holidays or when he is bored in his leisure time. Over time, it's not strange.
Because of Li Chun's resignation and the return of the Cheng family to the merchants, after Li Chun no longer had any interests and standing entanglements with him, the relationship between the two was a little better than before. Not only because Li Chun can understand his loneliness, but also because of his sincerity for many reasons. In the end, there is a blood relationship, in the royal family that can't ask for family affection, the special simple relationship also makes both of them cherish it a little.
Third, in addition to Zhu Changzhe's repeated stays, it is because of the Queen Mother. When the old people are old, they don't want to separate, and they don't want to leave.
The Empress Dowager's health is one of Cheng Ziyu's wishes in this life. So as long as the old lady asks for something, she will try her best to comply. Even the old lady invited Ziyu to take Nianbei to Cining Palace to relieve boredom several times, and she should go.
The Queen Mother is old, Cheng Ziyu really can't bear to brush her old man's intentions, and the time is delayed again and again.
Ziyu is what the old lady likes, and Li Chun is the most distressed by the old lady, and Nianbei is the meat of the old lady's heart. The Empress Dowager hugged the child almost as soon as she saw it, and she was reluctant to let go of it.
Moreover, because Nianbei left Beijing with her when she was pregnant earlier, went south together, and encountered a crisis, the love of the ancestor and grandson was even more very. If you take the Empress Dowager, that fate has long been predestined.
Delicious, easy to use, good-looking, gorgeous, precious and interesting, she never forgot to leave a copy for Xiao Nianbei. Every time I enter the palace in the north, I have to take away large and small boxes.
That kind of favor, not to mention the envy of the palace, even Zhu Changzhe repeatedly twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw it.
Cheng Ziyu was cheeky at first, but later she really refused to accept it.
"Know what you're taboo about. The mourning family in the harem is in charge, and the mourning family has the final say, and this is all from the mourning family's furniture vault, who can say anything? Besides, it is not too much to reward you for your life-saving grace to the mourning family and the emperor. The mourning family never hides it, just to let everyone see how much the mourning family values Nianbei. ”
"But if you send it like this, Cining Palace will be hollowed out by us. When you are so tempted, aren't you afraid that I will come every day? Cheng Ziyu smiled.
"Then you're wrong again!"
The Empress Dowager pointed at Cheng Ziyu's forehead. "Sure enough, I was stupid for three years when I was pregnant. Since you have a child, when did the mourning family give you a reward? ”
The old lady gave her a blank look. "The gift of mourning is only for great-grandchildren. If you want to hollow out the mourning family, you can't just have a Nianbei. If you have the ability, you can regenerate a few and dig it out together. The mourning family guarantees to be happy.
You know that, right? The most here in the mourning family is still the jewelry and jade that the girl's family likes. From the accumulation of the mourning family Yunying when she was not married, to the dowry, to the rewards of the elders who gave birth to children after the concubine was established, and the inheritance and accumulation of the four generations of the royal family, most of them are the treasures that girls like.
The mourners are waiting. You and Li Chun can hurry up and work hard. Taking advantage of the fact that the bones of the mourning family can last for a few years, seize the time to give Li Chunsheng a female doll with the word 'good', so that the treasures of the mourning family can be passed on smoothly. ”
At that time, Cheng Ziyu's head was incomparably large. She still thought that giving birth was only before giving birth, and she thought that giving birth to a child would be easy for a few years, why didn't the child speak and walk, so she urged it again?
The Empress Dowager is absolutely sincere, even if she passed on the imperial doctor, she asked her to help recuperate......
And in addition to these three, there is also a reason why it has not been able to go south for a long time.
Cheng Ziyu here has just been confined for two months, and Hongyu over there has been produced more than half a month ahead of schedule.
Somehow, Hongyu not only had an easy pregnancy before, but also had a hard time later in pregnancy.
The child was extremely difficult to serve in the womb, so she did not get a good night's sleep throughout the third trimester of pregnancy.
When I gave birth, it was the hottest few days, and the fetal position was not correct, so it was really scary to start it early
Person. Fortunately, the imperial doctor Wen Po and the old ladies in the palace worked together to help each other, and finally gave birth to a child without danger.
It's also a son.
He Sijing was slightly pity. He wanted a daughter. The reason is that as soon as his son is born, his father and mother, who have been looking forward to his grandson for a long time, will not be able to sit still, and will either enter Beijing or ask them to return to Jingxi. But he was afraid that Hongyu would be uncomfortable because of getting along with his in-laws, and he felt that he had just gained a foothold in the capital and wanted to struggle for a few more years......
Cheng Hongyu was very happy. gave birth to a son, and the task was half completed. In the future, no one will try to force her, or say that she can't give birth to eggs. She can be regarded as raising her eyebrows......
However, after the child was born, he either made trouble or cried all night, the key is to be very picky, and only talk to his relatives and not others. Except for his mother-in-law, the rest of the people couldn't even touch it, the nurse was not happy, and his husband and wife were also miserable, even He Shi, who stayed in Beijing to take care of the two mothers, and Jiang Yuxuan, who helped, also lost a lot of weight.
At that time, the production and management of the entire workshop were all pressed on the painting. She really didn't care about Ruby. After Cheng Zinuo joined the company, Jiang Yuxuan also had her own small family to be busy, and He ordered her to concentrate on preparing for pregnancy, which made Hongyu even more tired here......
Cheng Ziyu saw that she was working hard, so she could only take her children to see her every day. Finally, the children fell in love, and every time the boy of the He family saw Nianbei, he was very well-behaved, not crying or making trouble, just staring at the little brother with wide eyes and laughing.
Everyone was amazed.
Take Li Chun's words: "The prestige of the eldest brother is there, how dare you be arrogant as a younger brother?" Isn't he afraid that he will be cleaned up in the future? ”
Nianbei is the oldest of the children of his generation and a well-deserved big brother. But Li Chun's words somewhat reflected him and He Sijing, amusing Hongyu, I thought that Hongyu would jump up or fly frequently, but Hongyu was cheeky and went down the pole.
"Exactly. As a big brother, you should do your duty well, and you can't leave your younger brother alone. This is the true brother and the true righteousness. Ziyu, don't you say? ”
Cheng Ziyu laughed.
She and Li Chun can wait, but He can't wait.
The old man had been away from home for a year and a half, and he was anxious about Jingxi and Cheng's family, who had suffered a hardship, and they were also worried about getting back on track with production, so they returned to Jingxi after Cheng Ziyu gave birth in May.
It stands to reason that He should have waited for the old man to go back with him, but he still stayed for the sake of Hongyu. There was no reason to stay any longer, and He had already begun to plan to go back.
Cheng Hongyu grinded hard in front of He and Cheng Ziyu, and tried her best to beg them to stay for a while.
The He family kid was really tormented, and the red jade with dark circles under his eyes was really pitiful, so their trip dragged down again.
July was changed to September, and from September to November.
I wanted to go back to Jingxi for the New Year, but Hongyu's child was sick again.
After such a delay, it is another spring.
Who knows......
They had just started packing their bags when Ruby got the news that she was pregnant again.
“……”
Everyone was speechless.
A typical three-year hug! The big one is only a few months old, and the small one is here again.
Now, Hongyu is even more determined to keep people.
"I had a difficult birth last time...... You are at peace with me...... Count me beg you...... I'm alone, and I'm scared to think about it......"
Cheng Ziyu was still hesitating to see if she and He Shi's two would stay one.
Unexpectedly, there was news that she was pregnant with the painting after being married for more than a year.
Now, naturally, no one can leave.
He couldn't leave because his daughter-in-law and daughter were pregnant. Cheng Ziyu was distressed in the painting, and she couldn't let her get pregnant and stay in the workshop. There was no choice but to stay.
But she and the He family are both worried, although there are many masters in Jingxi, but after all, only the old man is alone. In life, there is no one to take care of the old man's relatives.
Once again, the third uncle Cheng Ming stood up.
He left his homeland for fifteen months, during which time he was relieved and regained his free and easy demeanor again. Although he doesn't want to be tied up by the family business anymore, he can still do it to help take care of the industry and the elderly.
With a sense of responsibility, he offered to go back to Jingxi to help first.
Cheng Ziyu made up her mind, and thanked Cheng Ming again and again.
Cheng Ming quickly headed south.
In other words, his marriage was really bumpy, and he finally got God's favor. When he passed through Gusu on the way home from Taihu Lake, after drinking a few more glasses, he was unruly in his chest, insisted on leaving the guards, and wanted to return by boat to enjoy the scenery on the lake alone.
The sky is not beautiful, the warm spring breeze suddenly turns to the west wind, and the drizzle turns into a torrent in an instant.
Just like the story, in the storm, a plain umbrella was delivered from a boat not far away.
Cheng Ming saw the woman holding a book in the cabin, and lost his mind for a moment.
He took advantage of the wind and suddenly let go.
The umbrella was swept away by the wind.
He clasped his fists and saluted, apologizing, saying that he had failed the good intentions, and at the same time showing goodwill, and offered to compensate for the value of the umbrella.
He finally drew the girl's back look.
The heartbeat is also out of rhythm.
The girl looked at him lightly, saying that it was just a gesture and there was no need to pay for it, but the earlobes were a little red. Then he turned away from him.
Cheng Ming came back to his senses and laughed.
He felt that he had found what he wanted.
It was pouring rain, and he only felt hearty.
Not far away, not close, not only to protect each other, but also to confess.
Frank as he is, without the slightest obscenity and frivolity.
The weather is bad, clearly embarrassed but still scorching, free and easy, clear but not rude, only keep a distance from each other, no matter how cold the girl is, she can't help but be touched.
is a poor girl who crossed Taihu Lake to seek refuge with relatives, but what she lacks is a true heart and a big tree to rely on.
Three months later, Cheng Ziyu, who was far away in the capital, heard that Jingxi's family was going to have a happy event. The third aunt is coming.
