Ruan Jinyu rode a horse, holding the reins with one hand and holding his eldest son Ruan Shenyan, who was sitting in front with the other.

Ruan Shenyan is six years old this year, as Ruan Jinyu expected, his eldest son not only follows him, but also has a lot of signs of being blue, but his baby son was raised by him since he was a child, from a small lump of meat that only knows how to eat and sleep, growing day by day to now, he is growing day by day, and this naughty is also being picked up little by little, looking at it every day, Ruan Jinyu didn't feel how naughty his son was at all. To be smart is to be smarter than him, and to be naughty is a little, but only a little.

In terms of naughtiness, Ruan Shenxing is indeed stronger than his father, he is very well-behaved, and he never dares to cause a big disaster, not because he is sensible, but because he has a very terrible ninth aunt.

At this moment, his ninth aunt was in the car behind, with his aunt, so he resolutely did not take the car, and must follow his father on horseback.

Ruan Jinyu dismounted outside the gate with her son in her arms, and Li Wenbin and Li Wenli had already greeted her.

In the second gate, Li Dong and Li Xia got out of the car one after the other, followed Huang Er's grandmother and Tang Jiarui who came out, and went to the main courtyard of Mrs. Yan.

Li Xuezhang was in the main courtyard, received the gifts of Li Dong and Li Xia, said a few words, and went out, he wanted to talk to Ruan Jinyu, the in-laws of the Ruan family are extremely rare and important.

gave birth to two children, Li Dong was a little fatter than before, and had a bit of grace, the housewife of the family had been working for five or six years, and her words were calm, and the timidity and lack of confidence when she was a girl had long been gone.

Chen and the seventh child she gave birth to, she was in the car just now, she only listened to Li Xia, Li Xia let her know, she didn't have to mention it when she saw the eldest uncle, she didn't mention a word, and Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Huo talked about the two children for a while, then stood up, and together with Tang Jiarui, went to visit the sick Grandma Zhao.

Only Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Huo and Li Xia were left in the upper room.

Li Xia stood up, sat next to Mrs. Yan, and looked at her sideways, "Uncle Niang's complexion is okay." ”

"Your grandmother has persuaded me for a long time." Mrs. Yan smiled.

"What are the plans of the eldest uncle?" Li Xia then asked.

"Your grandmother is right, at my age, life is just a state of mind. In this mansion, the East Courtyard has your uncle's two concubines, and there has been no one around him. After a pause, Mrs. Yan continued: "That child, I have been running for sixty people, people have lived for seventy years, what will happen to that child, I can't see it, what do you care about those things?" ”

Li Xia hummed in a low voice.

"In the past, I planned for the long term, thought for the long term, and I wished that I could even arrange my grandson's grandson. Now, you see, how can you arrange it? No one did what you had arranged. Your grandmother said that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, which is the sentence.

Even if I live a long life, I can live to be seventy or eighty, but it will only be more than ten years, and I don't care about those useless hearts.

Your uncle is a man, he has ambitions, he will do his, your eldest brother and second brother, like your uncle, have high ambitions, and also go with them, your fourth brother, he is a proper person, Sister Nan is married well, and she is smart, look at it, isn't it all good? So be it. ”

"Don't worry, auntie, the fourth brother will be fine, and so will the seventh sister." Li Xia's heart was indescribably sour.

"I'm relieved." Mrs. Yan patted Li Xia's hand lightly, "Don't worry, I have your grandmother who often talks back and forth, which is very good." ”

"Ming'er, your aunt and your uncle went to Potai Temple to worship your grandfather and grandmother, I discussed it with your aunt, and she didn't come back with me to stay in Potai Nunnery for a few days.

There is a mountain temple not far from Potai Nunnery, the temple fair at this time of the year, the mountain temple god sings well, and the family general, full of capital, I will see that the mountain temple will be better than the Mingzhou Mansion.

After living in the capital for decades, your aunt didn't know about the mountain temple fair under Potai Mountain, so I took her to open her eyes. ”

Old Madam Huo answered and smiled.

Li Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Let my aunt accompany me, my aunt likes this kind of excitement the most." ”

"If you want to say that you like to be lively, Sister Nan is the one who likes to be lively the most, and I don't know if Jiangning Mansion is hot or not, I haven't seen her for many years, so I miss her." Mrs. Huo said casually.

"No matter how lively Jiangning Mansion is, it can't compare to the capital, Seventh Sister has been in Jiangning Mansion for all these years, it's time to come back." Li Xia smiled, and his words were very casual.

"Everyone, how can there be a young daughter-in-law like Sister Nan who is the master of the house, Sister Nan has a good life in Jiangning Mansion, as long as she lives well, it will be the same everywhere." Mrs. Yan smiled.

Li Xia accompanied him and talked for a while, then got up to say goodbye.

Li Dong hurriedly followed, got into the car with Li Xia, and went to the Qin Palace.

Duan Yan had just sent Li Xia away, and Zhu Yu called outside and opened the curtain to come in, "Sister Duanyan, just now my brother came in with a message, saying that it was a trivial matter, let me go back." ”

"Go back, it's okay right now." Duan Yan took a shoe upper and embroidered it, and replied with a smile, "Just come back before noon tomorrow, can you come back?" ”

"I don't need to be noon tomorrow, my house is in an alley behind our garden, if it's fast, one hour is slow, at most two hours." Zhu Yu hurriedly replied: "My brother, what big deal can he do?" Call me back, it's all a matter of feathers, I also look at today's free, he said something, I'll go back, if it's usually not free, I'll give him back. I'll go back as soon as I go, and I'll be back for dinner. ”

Zhu Yu said a few words, came out and went straight to the corner gate of the back garden.

She doesn't eat out overnight, and when she goes back, she comes back immediately without bringing anything.

Zhuyu returned home, pushed the courtyard door in, and the eldest brother Chen An heard the movement, lifted the curtain from the upper room, stood under the porch, looked at Zhuyu, wrinkled his brows, and was a little unhappy, "It's been an hour or two since I took the words, why is it slow like this?" ”

"Listening to the eldest brother's words, I thought that the eldest brother had never received an errand envoy, and I didn't know what was going on on the errand." Zhuyu leaned towards her eldest brother, carried her skirt up the steps, and passed past Chen An, "It's not easy for me to come back, this is Sister Duanyan's good behavior, the rules of the house, don't you know that eldest brother?" ”

"Okay, you know, you know the rules best." Chen An was blocked by Zhuyu for a few words, but his temper got better, and he came in after Zhuyu.

"Tell me, what's the matter, I'll have to work hard for a while." Zhuyu entered the house, did not sit down, stood in the middle of the room, and looked at the eldest brother Chen Andao.

"Sit down and talk, come from the house, it's a long way, sit down and rest for a while, and have a cup of tea." Chen An's daughter-in-law hurriedly made a cup of tea and brought it to Zhuyu.

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, the rules in the house are heavy, I have to go." Zhu Yu waved his hand at his sister-in-law, turned to Chen An and urged, "Hurry up, I have to rush back." ”

"You go out first." Chen An instructed his daughter-in-law impatiently, and Chen An's daughter-in-law responded softly, and hurriedly turned around and went out.

"What's the matter?" Zhuyu asked again with a frown.

"It's not a big deal, it's just ......" Chen An twisted his neck a little uncomfortably, coughed a few times, and pulled his collar again, "That's the case, didn't your second brother open a tea shop, it's all about business, your second brother ......"

"Obviously there is a tea shop in the family, how can you say that the second brother has opened a tea shop, are you not going to ask for this shop, Daddy and Aunt will give it to the second brother after a hundred years?" Zhuyu unceremoniously revealed.

"I mean, the tea shop is now taken care of by your second brother, what do you think you are talking about? Where did I go? Yes, it's a business matter, your second brother specially begged me, let me ask you, what kind of tea does the princess like to drink the most? ”

"The second brother asked what this is for? What tea does the princess like the most, and what does it have to do with his business? Is he going to sell the tea to the palace? Taketama immediately asked rhetorically.

"It's a business matter, it's not about selling tea into the palace, our shop often sends tea to the palace, it's not this, it's ...... Your second brother said that there is a family that wants to wait for tea in front of the princess, and I want to inquire first, what kind of tea the princess likes to drink the most, whether it is stronger or lighter. ”

"The princess is very generous, and she is never picky when she eats tea outside......"

Before Zhuyu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen An, "Look at what you said, it's one thing to be picky or not, it's another thing to make this tea that is in line with the princess's wishes, isn't the princess picky, so she doesn't have to wait attentively?" ”

"That's the same," this sentence, Taketama agreed, "Which one is it?" How did you find out where the second brother went? ”

"It's the son-in-law of A-Niang's little sister Mama Luo, and the family is waiting on the tea division of Sui'an Palace, saying that the princess went to mourn last time, and drank tea for a long time, and his daughter-in-law doesn't know the princess's preferences, this tea can't be made, but I'm afraid that the princess will have to go a few times, so I asked about our family."

Taketama nodded, "I remember that sister." The princess drinks tea very much depending on the mood of the season, this time Xuefeng tea drinks a lot, slightly lighter than the usual taste is the best, out of the first month, and so on before the Ming Dynasty, it is also slightly lighter. ”

Chen An listened carefully, repeated it, and saw Zhuyu nodding, breathing a sigh of relief, and his face was full of joy.

"Nothing else, right? No I'm gone. Zhuyu turned around, Chen An replied, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, followed Zhuyu out, watched her go out of the courtyard gate, followed out of the courtyard gate, and Zhuyu left and right, and hurriedly left.

In the palace, Concubine Yao Xian, dressed in half-old homely clothes, sat on the kang, slowly embroidering a bright yellow purse, and talking in a low voice with the girl who has been with her since childhood, and now she is known as Mama.

"I handed over the words outside, saying that these beauties who have entered in the past few years, none of them have happy news, let the mother think of picking a conversation, let everyone take a look and think about it, maybe you will know what is going on." Mama Kong said in a low voice.

"Why did you suddenly remember this?" Concubine Yao Xian's subordinates paused slightly.

"Well, I also said, let the mother pay attention to see if there is really no happy news, or if someone doesn't want to hear the happy news." Mama Kong continued.

The needle and thread in Concubine Yao Xian's hand stopped, frowned, and said in a low voice after a while: "What are you trying to do?" ”

"This is provoked, only Jiang Niangniang can be right." Mama Kong took the money thread in Concubine Yao Xian's hand, slowly brushed the silk thread, and lowered her head to prick a needle.

"It's the first step of the obvious, but what about after that? Also, is there really no Xixin'er, or do some people not want to hear Xixin'er, this," Concubine Yao Xian laughed dryly, "It's not obvious, do you still need to ask?" ”

"The year before last, Liu promised that more than a month had passed since the menstrual incident, and then said that it was bruising, and when the medicine went down, a large pool of blood flowed, and last year, there were two such incidents. This kind of thing, we are also suspicious because Liu promised to be close to us, but I am afraid that the Queen Mother really doesn't know. ”

Mama Kong lowered her head and did needlework and talked.

The female envoys in the palace are nobles, there are not many punctual menstrual affairs, almost everyone is like this, every month is either sooner or later, and poor blood congestion is an extremely common problem.

The year before last, if it weren't for the fact that Liu promised to be the niece of the same clan as Mrs. Liu in their palace, she was close to them, and secretly cried and told that in addition to the menstrual affair at that time, she was also nauseous and vomiting, and she was sick to the stomach.

They didn't tell the Queen Mother, also because they really couldn't figure out whether Liu promised to have blood congestion, or was beaten down because she was pregnant.

She didn't dare to say anything about chasing after the wind and shadows, she originally wanted to pay attention to it herself, and then ...... with the Queen Mother Alas, the Queen Mother is gone.

"From the time the Queen Mother left to the present, something big has happened." Concubine Yao Xian was stunned for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Have you realized that this one is more than the Queen Mother...... The Queen Mother seems to be much more merciful than her. ”

"It's not like, it's just." Mama Kong put down the needle and thread, leaned forward, and approached Concubine Yao Xian, "Third Master, I heard that an iron vertebrae penetrated through the back of the head, and if you die, you will die, or this way of dying, and, Third Master, what's the use?" I always feel that the third master, if he wants to kill, he will kill it. ”

"I don't think so," Concubine Yao Xian slowly rubbed her temples with one finger, "She's not that kind of person, if it's Jiang Niangniang, she can kill if she wants to, she's not, the Queen Mother said before, not only once, saying that she is extremely patient, extremely enduring, and can see seven or eight steps when she takes a step." Since the Queen Mother left, big and small things, one after another, this is the layout, we don't understand. ”

"This person, her hands are too ruthless, her mind is too deep, you say, will she ...... What do birds hide? Mama Kong looked at Concubine Yao Xian worriedly.

"I'm not afraid of all the birds, I'm only afraid of killing people and destroying my mouth." Concubine Yao Xian sighed, "We don't have any other way, do we?" Let's take one step at a time, I used to plan to go with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is gone, one more day to live, it's all a lot, don't think about this, think about the current mission. ”

"Hmm." Mama Kong replied in a low voice, changed the topic, and discussed with Concubine Yao Xian in a low voice about the messenger she had just received.
