Chapter 539: Aunts and Grandmothers
King Qin's convoy is already very close to the capital, no matter how slow it is, it can't go anywhere, around noon, the convoy can already see the Nanxun Gate.
Lu Yi knocked on the carriage door, "Lord Wang, it's time to Nanxun Gate." ”
"It's home." Before King Qin answered, Li Xia smiled brightly and whispered, "I'll go home and wait for you." ”
"Okay." King Qin reluctantly let go of Li Xia, Li Xia stretched out his hand to stop him, "There are too many people, don't come out." ”
King Qin snorted, stretched out his hand to stop the curtain, and watched Li Xia get out of the car.
Li Xia got into the car while getting into another car, and said with a smile: "Move those two boxes to my car." ”
happily agreed, and together with another servant, the two boxes were moved to Li Xia's car.
After entering the Nanxun Gate, King Qin's convoy went straight to Xuande Gate along the Royal Street, Li Xia's car and a dozen or so guards crossed the Longjin Bridge, turned around and went back to King Qin's mansion.
It wasn't until late in the evening that King Qin returned to the palace.
As soon as he entered the second gate, he saw Li Xia standing behind the shadow wall, commanding a few little girls, and when he saw King Qin coming in, he beckoned to him.
"Waiting for me? What does this do? King Qin took a few steps to stand beside Li Xia and followed her gaze forward.
"Hang the evil warding general you bought, is it okay to hang it there?" Li Xia pointed to the inkstone that was being compared.
"Really want to hang up?" King Qin burst out laughing.
"Of course." Li Xia's answer was crisp and pleasant, and King Qin laughed again, and while laughing, he commanded Duan Yan, "Go to the side, yes, that's it, let me let you take a look." ”
"Good, that's all." Li Xia clapped his hands in approval.
Han Shanggong stood beside him with his hands down, smiling a little helplessly, the rough things that the princess brought back from the princess were hanging everywhere, if the queen mother was still there, the two of them would be blessed, the queen mother was gone, speaking of which, only the two of them relied on each other to support each other.
Hanging up the family general to ward off evil spirits, Li Xia and King Qin went inside side by side, Li Xia first pulled him to see the pair of parrots, and then went to see the fruit trees she had just planted, and watched every change in the palace in the few months that he was not in the capital, before returning to the main courtyard.
The next day, Mrs. Yan sent Lao Liu's mother over to greet King Qin that this trip was smooth and in good health, and by the way, she sent some fresh fruits from the Zhuangzi.
conveyed Mrs. Yan's greetings, but Lao Liu's mother didn't have the slightest intention of retiring, but leaned forward, Li Xia saw that she was going to talk well, and asked Duan Yan to move a small pestle for her, and made tea, Duan Yan quietly withdrew everyone in the house, and after three or two sentences from Lao Liu's mother, she cut to the point.
“…… The princess didn't know that our eldest aunt Xinna's Aunt Chen was really a smart person, smart and courteous, worthy of reading big books, and she was really knowledgeable. ”
Li Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, moved and sat up straighter, listening intently to the words of Old Liu's mother.
"Don't say anything else, let's just say that this morning and dusk will be a province, it's really oh, since the old lady counted, there is no one like her who knows etiquette, early in the morning, before dawn, she must have arrived, not only she arrived, but the seventh master she gave birth to must have also arrived, this seventh master is really, born extraordinary."
Li Xia's eyes narrowed slightly.
"She asks for peace, that's a serious invitation, she doesn't have a sloppy eye at all, she must see Mrs., kowtow, even if she can't wait for Mrs. to wash and eat, then she has to guard under the corridor, that's called a respect, it's really a little bad and can't pick it out.
The seventh master is too, that filial piety, so little child, I see, from the eldest uncle to the second master to the fourth master to the seventh aunt and grandmother, all together, it is not as filial piety as him.
Early in the morning, Aunt Chen took the seventh master, no, you look at my broken mouth, Aunt Chen said, it is waiting for the seventh master, first come to the lady to say goodbye, and then go to the eldest master to say goodbye, and then turn back to wait for the lady here, this time around, just by chance, I caught up with Sister Yu and they came to ask for peace, according to Aunt Chen's words, the seventh master powder makeup jade fairy child-like child, who sees it has to love it to the heart. ”
"How many days have you been asking for this? Have you been greeting since you moved into the second gate? Li Xia asked idly.
"That's not true, it took more than half a month to move into the second door before I knew the ceremony." The corners of Lao Liu's mother turned down into eight characters.
"Do you know that? What did he say? ”
"I know, can I know, in front of the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother, I praised Aunt Chen for knowing the etiquette, the seventh master has filial piety, and praised it many times, Aunt Chen's sentence, a fairychild-like child, whoever sees it has to love it to the heart, Aunt Chen said that it was the words of the eldest master." Old Liu's mother resisted the urge to take a sip.
"How's the uncle? Have you asked a doctor to diagnose Ping An Pulse? ”
"Madame has a lot of energy, fortunately, Madame has never diagnosed the Ping An Pulse......," Old Liu's mother didn't finish speaking, and immediately changed her tone, "The princess reminded that Madame is an elderly person, not as old as back then, this Ping An Pulse should also be diagnosed, I will tell Madame when I go back."
However, if there is really anything wrong, this person who serves the sick or not serves the sick has to do his filial piety under the corridor and does not leave, and the eldest master opens his mouth to boast, this thing is ......"
Lao Liu's mother worked hard for a while, and she thought about it all over again.
"The seventh sister has to believe early, and she is in a hurry to return to the capital, and she is in a hurry along the way, day and night, and she will be able to reach the capital in two days." Li Xia diverted the topic, paused, and then said with a smile: "You talk to the eldest uncle, and then tell the eldest aunt, don't worry about the seventh sister, she came by boat all the way, day and night, and she can't be tired." ”
"Seventh Aunt and Grandma are coming back, it's really Amitabha, Mrs. loves Seventh Aunt and Grandma the most, and Seventh Aunt and Grandma are the most persuasive, wait for Seventh Aunt and Grandma to come back, persuade a few times, Mrs. will be better, Amitabha."
Lao Liu's mother was overjoyed and chanted Buddha repeatedly.
Sure enough, two days later, Li Wennan took his daughter Ruyi to the capital, and the next day, Li Xia accompanied the King of Qin who was scattered in the early dynasty to have breakfast, and the King of Qin went outside the city to check the spring ploughing, and Li Xia took Duan Yan to the Li Mansion.
Today, Li Wennan went back to her parents' house, she made an appointment with her sister and Sister Mei to go back together.
As soon as the car left the gate of the palace, Duan Yan lowered the curtain and said to Li Xiayu: "Just now when we were about to come out, Zhuyu came to take leave again, saying that her father was a little uncomfortable, she went back to take a look, even if she couldn't come back at noon, she would definitely go back to the house for dinner in the evening." ”
"How many trips have you made since the New Year?" Li Xia asked, while raising the curtain and looking at both sides of the lively street.
"It's the fifth trip, it's a little too diligent, if the people in the house are like her, our house will be full of people coming and going every day, and it will become a vegetable market." Duan Yan complained a little.
"Isn't she the only one?" Li Xia lowered the curtain, "If she wants to go back, let her go back, if someone else wants to go back once or twice a month, let them go back, you just have to tell me who went back." ”
"Well, well." Duan Yan sighed, "Actually, except for the one that goes back all day, everything else, Zhuyu is very good, especially when he is on an errand, he does his best, which is very rare." ”
"I know." Li Xia didn't know what he was thinking, and the smile on his face was a little cold.
The Qin Wangfu was not far from the Li Mansion, and Duan Yan said a few more gossips and gossip, and arrived at the door of the Li Mansion.
The car entered the second door, and before it stopped, Li Xia heard Li Wenmei's voice, "I just said that the princess must arrive early today." ”
Before the words fell, Li Wenmei raised the curtain from the outside, and Grandma Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help Li Xia.
Li Xia got out of the car and bent her knees at Grandma Zhao and Li Wenmei, "Don't dare to work sister-in-law, don't dare to work Eighth Sister." ”
Grandma Zhao laughed, "Look, a serious princess is still as naughty as back then, why can't you be?" Well deserved. ”
"The seventh sister has arrived, the sixth sister has also arrived, the seventh sister asked as soon as she got out of the car, when will Axia arrive?" Li Wenmei even laughed.
"Who else?" Li Xia followed Li Wenmei inside, looked at Grandma Zhao and asked.
"Madame said that today is the day when the girls go back to their parents' house, and other people will invite them tomorrow." Grandma Zhao replied, paused after a few steps inside, watched Li Xia and Li Wenmei take four or five steps, turned around and went back to the second gate, and settled Li Xia's vehicles and servants.
"Seventh Sister is back, it's going to be lively for a while, and Ruyi is also here?" Li Xia and Li Wenmei were talking.
"Here, I arrived after the seventh sister, and I got out of the car and waited for you in the second gate, and I haven't seen the seventh sister yet. Let's hurry. Li Wenmei said, speeding up her pace.
As soon as they entered Mrs. Yan's main courtyard, the two heard a burst of laughter coming from the upper room, Li Xia couldn't help but smile when she heard it, and together with Li Wenmei, she simply walked through the middle of the courtyard, entered the hanging flower gate and then went straight through the courtyard.
"Grandma Eighth and Grandma Nine have arrived." Lao Liu's mother was guarding the door of the upper room, and when she saw the two rushing from the middle of the courtyard, she hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain and spread the word.
"Asha!"
As soon as Li Xia rushed up the steps, Li Wennan rushed out of the house and opened his arms at Li Xia, Li Xia laughed out loud and hugged Li Wennan.
"A-Niang, A-Niang!" A chubby, powdery little girl grabbed a puppet with one hand and followed behind Li Wennan, gasping for breath when she ran.
"Is this wishful?" Li Xia bent down, surprised and curious, looking at Ruyi who had rolled all the way.
"Yes." Without waiting for Li Wennan to answer, Ruyi answered familiarly, rushed to Li Wennan, lost the puppet, and grabbed Li Wennan's skirt with both hands.
"Go and pick things up for Ruyi."
Li Xia was stretching out her hand, trying to coax Ruyi to let her hug, when an eager voice next to her came into her ears, and the seventh master, who was about the same age as Ruyi, was pushed over by her aunt and staggered to the puppet that Ruyi threw on the ground.
Li Xia retracted her body, stood up, and looked sideways at Aunt Chen.
When Aunt Chen saw Li Xia looking at her, she hurriedly smiled with a smile on her face, and bowed her knees deeply, "Say hello to the princess." ”
Li Xia tilted his head sideways, stared at her for a while, raised his eyebrows slightly and fell, smiling as if he was not smiling, turned his head to look at Li Wennan, who was not very good, and smiled: "Your daddy Xinna's red fan knows it, have you seen the ceremony?" What about you, the seventh brother? Have you ever seen this sister of yours? ”
"I've seen it, I came early, Daddy personally came over with Lao Qi, and said that Lao Qi's cleverness is a few points better than you back then." Li Wennan picked up Ruyi, and while talking, he turned around and walked inside.
"Pick up the seventh, and you can come in too." Li Xia smiled and looked at Aunt Chen and ordered.
Aunt Chen hesitated a little, but she still picked up her son very neatly, followed closely behind Li Xia, as if she had been sheltered behind Li Xia, and entered the upper room step by step.
Grandma Zhao was only a few steps late, and she also entered the upper room, and frowned at a glance when she saw Aunt Chen, who was squatting in front of the kang and trying her best to push her son to Ruyi.
"The eldest brother also has a confidant, surnamed Yang, right? Is it coming? If she doesn't come, you have someone call her over, and I'll take a look. Without waiting for Grandma Zhao to see the ceremony, Li Xia looked at her first and smiled.
Aunt Chen was stunned, the hesitation in her heart became even stronger, she looked left and right, quietly moved to the side, moved again, and quietly called a little girl who was waiting beside her son, and commanded in a low voice: "Hurry up and invite the master to come, just say, everyone has arrived, please come over and talk." ”
The little girl agreed, quietly withdrew, and hurriedly found someone.
Li Xia didn't see Aunt Chen's going and coming back, and saw that Grandma Zhao pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak, so she directly beckoned to Old Mother Liu, "Mother Liu, let someone invite Aunt Yang to come over and let me have a look." ”
Mrs. Yan's gaze moved away from Li Xia and motioned to the nurse, "Bring Ruyi to me, this child is the same as Sister Nan'er when she was a child." ”
Huang Er's grandmother tried her best to maintain a calm and unmoved face, and she couldn't concentrate on watching Li Zhangcong and Li Dong's son Ruan Shenyan eat fruit juice candy, Li Zhangyu sat between Li Zhangcong and Ruan Shenyan, staring at the two of them and counting, "Five grains for one person, already three." ”
Li Dongzheng was talking to Mrs. Yan, looked at Li Xia a little apprehensively, then looked at Mrs. Yan, hesitated, handed her daughter Maomao to the nurse and instructed: "Sister is sleepy, take her to the side room to sleep for a while." ”
The nurse hurriedly took the mao mao and carefully carried it out.
Grandma Zhao felt that something was wrong, and blinked a few times, looked at Aunt Chen, and then looked at the seventh brother who was pushed between Li Zhangcong and Ruan Shenyan by Aunt Chen one after another......
Grandma Shen San looked at this, then at that, from Li Wennan to Li Wenmei, and then at Mrs. Yan, suddenly a strong sense of envy poured out, the princess is going to stand up for her wife, if there is something to happen to the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt, the princess will definitely come out, but her own family, I am afraid that no matter how big the matter is, at least the princess will not stand up for them.
With three points of apprehension, three points of hesitation and two points of hope, Aunt Yang followed the mother-in-law into the upper room, saw the salute, stood up, and subconsciously stood beside Aunt Yang.
