Chapter 290: I like children

Li Yun let go of Li Yue's hand and looked up at Li Zhong, "Let's talk about it." ”

Li Yue also looked at Li Zhong expectantly, waiting for Li Zhong to inform the Hou Mansion of the new situation.

It's just that the news that Li Zhong brought back made the two very disappointed, "Hou Ye went to the backyard Buddhist hall many times to find Mrs. Hou Ye, and the second master and the second lady also went, and then Mrs. Hou Ye brought the pregnant concubine that the second master brought back to the Buddhist hall, and there was no movement after that." ”

Li Yue frowned slightly, "Is this not going to care about Zhou Jinbao, and then count on that little concubine's belly?" This Mrs. Hou is ruthless, that is her only grandson. ”

Li Zhong responded, "At present, it seems that there is no other action in this Hou Mansion for the time being. ”

Li Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, "Find a way to release the news to the uncle, the concubine's stomach is fake, and then see how they react." ”

Li Zhong responded, "No." ”

Li Zhong was about to go down, but Li Yue stopped Li Zhong in time, "Wait." ”

Li Zhong stopped, "What else does Madame have to say?" ”

Li Yue asked, "Does this Yanjing have a magic stick?" ”

Li Zhong didn't know why, and even Li Yun was puzzled, "What is a magic stick?" ”

Li Yue corrected embarrassedly, "No, is there a fortune teller?" ”

Li Zhong nodded in response, "Yes." ”

Li Yue said, "You are like this, go find a fortune teller who is more famous in Yanjing, let him spread the news, just say the location of Zhou Yuan's Houfu, the black gas gathers, he is curious about the stargazing at night, which means that the stars of the Zhou family are gradually falling, I am afraid that it is a sign that there is no successor, anyway, it probably means that, let the fortune teller make it up again, and make it a decent point." ”

Li Zhong listened to Li Yue's words and exclaimed, "Madame is very strategic, so my subordinates will do it." ”

Li Yue responded, "This is not in a hurry, I will go again tomorrow, and I will go to handle the matter of the concubine first." ”

"No." After that, Li Zhong retreated and left, looking for someone to spread the news.

Li Yue sighed, "I don't know if it's useful, we won't really hurt Jinbao this week, right?" ”

Li Yun habitually took Li Yue's hand, rubbed it in his hand and said, "Don't worry, even if the Zhou family doesn't move, the Wu family won't dare to do anything to Zhou Jinbao for the time being, if the Zhou family really doesn't plan to save him, let's just rescue him." ”

Li Yue looked at Li Yun, "Did you say that this Mrs. Hou is the person who has a connection over there?" Or is there no handle at all? Otherwise, how could there be no action? ”

Li Yunying said, "But apart from her, I can't think of anyone else in this Hou Mansion, I'm waiting to see if you can force her to make a move with these plans of yours." ”

Li Yue nodded, and Mother Wu appeared at the right time and said, "Madam, the hot water is ready, you can take a bath." ”

Listening to Wu's mother's words, Li Yue got up and followed Wu's mother to the inner room.

The next day, Li Yue was still waiting for Li Yun to come back, and the two had breakfast together, thinking that there were two days before the New Year, and they still had to go to the court every day, Li Yue frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you want to go to court for the New Year?" Isn't there a bath? ”

Li Yunying said, "After the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there will be annual leave after that, unless the king has something to summon, the Lantern Festival will continue to go to the early dynasty." ”

Li Yue said, "That's okay, I thought that the New Year would be early every day." ”

Li Yun gave Li Yue a chopstick dish, "You have to eat more, it's too thin." It may be a little busy today, there will be an embroidery lady in the palace to come over, measure the size for you, and then make the county lord's clothes, and the household department will also come over to ask for the requirements for the construction of the county lord's mansion. ”

Li Yue asked curiously, "There is also a special county lord uniform?" Is it good-looking? Isn't it inconvenient to wear? Then will I have to wear the county lord uniform in the future? ”

Li Yun pursed his lips and said, "No need, that is, when you enter the palace, you need to wear it on formal occasions, usually you can wear it how you want, by the way, we will enter the palace and participate in the palace banquet in the Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Li Yue looked at Li Yun curiously, "There is still a banquet in the palace in the Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Li Yunying said, "This is the usual rule, the king of the Chinese New Year's Eve held a banquet to entertain the courtiers to show his condolences to the courtiers for their hard work for a year, and the courtiers took their families and relatives to participate, I am still the general of Zhenbei, and you are now the county lord, all in Yanjing, you must go." ”

Li Yun originally thought that Yue'er didn't want to go, but he didn't want Li Yue to smile and respond, "Okay, I also want to see this palace banquet." ”

Li Yun then remembered that Yue'er had never participated in a palace banquet, and she didn't know that the palace banquet was actually very boring, so Li Yun reminded Li Yue, "The palace banquet is not as interesting as you imagined." ”

Li Yue swallowed the porridge in her mouth and looked at Li Yun expectantly, "Is there any palace fighting among the beauties of the harem, as well as the intrigue of the families of various families, as well as the open and secret battles and conspiracy between the princes and nobles?" ”

Li Yun looked at Li Yue's shining eyes staring at him, and said speechlessly, "What are you putting in your head, and these are from the book?" ”

"Hehe," Li Yue smirked, "Is there any, if there is, it's not very boring." "But I didn't mention the book.

Li Yun had no choice but to respond, "How could it not be?" This kind of palace banquet once a year, the most complicated, the palace nobles will compete to perform in front of the king, in order to leave a good impression in the king's mind, as for those family members, will take this opportunity to take their own rarely out of the cabinet of the young ladies to show their faces at the palace banquet, maybe they can climb a high branch, or find a good family business. ”

Li Yue said excitedly, "Then how can it be boring?" It must be interesting. ”

Li Yun added a bowl of bird's nest porridge and said, "Hurry up and eat, the embroidery lady in the palace should come in a while." ”

After the two had breakfast, Wu's mother took Xu Qingqing over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the child was like a little tail, obediently following behind the two, not naughty and crying, very well-behaved.

Li Yue looked at such a well-behaved child, her heart was soft, and she beckoned to the child, "Come over my sister." ”

The child looked at Li Yue, hesitated for a moment, and then saw the gentle smile on Li Yue's face, and walked in front of Li Yue with a little short leg.

Li Yue stretched out her hand to hold the child into her arms, Xu Qingqing came over hesitantly, and hurriedly said to the child, "Xiaoxin, you can't sit on Madame's body." ”

Li Yue waved her hand at Xu Qingqing and responded, "You go and get busy with yours." ”

Wu's mother saw that her master really liked children, so she glanced at Xu Qingqing, Xu Qingqing glanced at her son, and went over to help her mother-in-law clean up the table.

Li Yue teased the child in her arms, "What's Xiaoxin's name?" ”

The child timidly spoke, "It's called Guan Xin." ”

Li Yue replied with a smile, "The name is so nice, how old is that Xiao Xin." ”

Xiao Xin stretched out three fingers, "Three years old." ”

"Really capable."

Li Yue teased the child, while Li Yun looked at Li Yue and the child in her arms from the side, but her thoughts drifted to the future, and Li Yue held the picture of their child, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Li Yun never thought that his thoughts, after knowing Li Yue, would be slowly changed day by day, when he stepped on the battlefield with a dream, he found that there would be so many worries in his heart, only to find that fame and fortune seemed to be inferior to the smiling face in his mind, the life he once longed for, but now he is not so looking forward to it, he only hopes to be able to accompany his wife calmly and live a peaceful life, as long as he thinks about it, he feels how satisfying it is.

It was only when Li Zhong came over and said, "Son, madam, the embroidery girl in the palace is here." ”

Li Yue handed the child in her arms to Li Zhong and coaxed, "Follow your uncle to find your mother." ”

The child nodded obediently and followed Li Zhong out of the living room, Li Yun listened to Li Yue's messy title, and said helplessly, "You are a sister, Li Zhong is an uncle, and the generations are messed up." ”

Li Yue pursed her lips and responded, "Anyway, I'm not an aunt, I'm still so young, but I'm not that old." ”

Li Yun didn't expect this reason, looking at Li Yue's awkward appearance, he pursed his lips and smiled in response, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

The embroidered girl was quickly brought in by the guards, a woman in her thirties, and when she saw Li Yun and Li Yue, she saluted and said, "Slaves and maids see the county lord, see General Li." ”

Li Yue raised her hand slightly, "Get up." ”

The embroidered girl explained her intentions, and then began to measure Li Yue's size, but the action was very fast, and she left after a while, and Li Zhong also sent the child back.

There were only three of them left in the room, and Li Yue asked Li Zhong, "How are things going?" ”

Li Zhong responded, "The subordinates are about to report to Madame, the little concubine has been sold to the mansion because of the fake pregnancy, Madam, you want the news that your subordinates are spreading outside, and the subordinates have already done it this morning, just waiting for the Hou Mansion's reaction." ”

Li Yue responded, "Okay." ”

On the side, Li Yun also spoke, "Always pay attention to the movements of that Hou Ye and Lady." ”

Li Zhong said, "I've been sending people to keep an eye on it." ”

Li Yun said, "When you are fine, you can go out more often, get acquainted with the old people in the house, and then take the opportunity to inquire about this Mrs. Hou." ”

Li Zhong nodded in response and went down.

Li Yue had nothing to do, so she wanted to take Li Yun to hang lanterns in the backyard in the plum forest, but was stopped by Li Yun and asked him to go again in the afternoon.

So the two stayed in the front hall and talked, and after a while, someone from the household department really came, and they were directly brought to the small courtyard, and they also brought the layout map of the new county lord's mansion to ask for the opinion of Li Yue, the county lord of Chang'an.

Li Yue didn't plan to stay in Yanjing in the first place, and she didn't have an opinion on what the county lord's mansion would look like, so she casually perfunctory, but it was Li Yun who asked the guards to take the people from the household department around the courtyard where they lived, and then took people to look at the layout of the house, and asked the household department to build a small courtyard in the county lord's mansion according to the pattern of this courtyard.

Li Yue saw that Li Yun wanted to build another yard like this, so she asked the household to build a bathroom and toilet next to the bedroom.

By the time the people from the household department were sent away, it was almost noon, but this Hou Ye sent someone to invite Li Yun and Li Yue to the front hall for lunch.

Just as she wanted to see what the Zhou family's attitude towards Zhou Jinbao was now, Li Yue nodded and agreed, cleaned up, and let Li Yun wrap her tightly, and then the two went to the front hall together.
