Chapter 18 Family

The news of Empress Xin's pregnancy diluted the Jiang family's mourning, and also lifted the spirit of the Jiang family, who had just finished the funeral and was so tired that they died-in addition to the big house-Now that Northern Xinjiang is using soldiers, since ancient times, the royal family has been regarded as a good omen, not to mention the pregnancy of the mother of the country?

Qin Guogong immediately made a decision and rushed 800 miles to spread the good news to the front line to boost morale!

It's a pity that the Jiang family is now wearing filial piety inside and out, and it is not easy to enter the palace to visit for fear of colliding with the imperial heir.

But Jiang Tianhe still sent his henchmen to say hello to his daughter as soon as possible, and at the same time secretly asked the gender of the emperor's heir.

"Now that the days are shallow, the imperial doctor is still not sure how to eat!" It can be seen that Queen Xin is in a very good mood now, sweeping away the depression of a few months ago, her eyebrows are full of joy and satisfaction, caressing her still flat lower abdomen, pursing her lips and smiling, "It doesn't matter whether it is a man or a woman, it is the biological child of the palace, as long as it is strong and intelligent!" ”

The henchman smiled and said: "Niangniang is blessed, and there is such good news only half a year after the book, the imperial heir must be strong and intelligent, and as handsome and lovely as Your Majesty and Niangniang!" ”

Empress Xin smiled reservedly: "Borrow my aunt's auspicious words!" ”

The henchman returned to Xinfu and told Jiang Tianhe about the matter, Jiang Tianhe was a little anxious: "Can't break it off?" Then I'll ask later...... If only it were a prince! This time, the second uncle spread the news of Bing'er's pregnancy to the front line to boost morale. If Bing'er's baby is a male heir, he can take advantage of the battle in Northern Xinjiang and ask for the crown prince as soon as he lands! ”

At that time, as long as you have a good birth and raise this child, you can see what the big house is still tossing!

This will already be the end of the year, because of the death of the Marquis of Jibei, the Jiang family is full of filial piety, and many officials in order to please the Jiang family, they also follow the Marquis of Jibei to wear filial piety, avoiding the feast - although the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is as luxurious as ever, it is cold and cold, which makes Empress Dowager Jiang feel very boring.

Fortunately, the emperor and empress were parents at the beginning, and they were very interested, and they were quite active at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, which finally made this banquet not too ugly.

After the New Year, a circle of relatives walks down to the Lantern Festival.

After the end of the year, Mrs. Zhuang remembered her husband's advice before leaving, so she wrote a personal letter, calling her henchman to come to her: "Since I parted twenty years ago, I have never seen my daughter, and now she and her son-in-law are in Shazhou, it is rare for me to stay in Beijing for a few more days, if she can leave, let her come back!" First, the mother and daughter are reunited, and second, the things on the son-in-law's side are better to talk about with me. ”

was worried that Jiang Qizheng was forcibly rushing for the reunion of mother and daughter, and emphasized, "Everything is important to my son's body!" Don't force it! ”

Mrs. Zhuang is looking forward to the return of her daughter and son-in-law, and Qiu Yulan sees that the weather is good, and she is taking the lead in basking in the sun in the court.

With three babies under your knees, it's impossible to enjoy the sunshine with all your heart.

This will be her holding a bowl of egg custard in her hand, Jiang Jingkun, Jiang Jinglang, and Fu'er are sitting in a row on the soft couch in the courtyard, with screens set up on all sides to block the wind, and the child is cushioned behind him as a supporter, wrapped in a small quilt to keep out the cold, and staring at the pale yellow egg custard with dripping eyes, waiting for Qiu Yulan to take turns feeding them a small spoonful.

A spoonful was handed over, and the one who was fed immediately held it happily, a little slower, and Jiang Jingkun and Fu'er, who were already able to speak, shouted anxiously: "On behalf of the ...... Generation! Kiridai! ”

Jiang Jinglang, who couldn't speak, babbled and pounced on her - Qiu Yulan felt like she was surrounded by three chicks, and she was dizzy with chirp, and she was busy feeding this and that, laughing while feeding: "Don't worry, there are a lot of custards, eat slowly...... Eat slowly, don't choke! ”

was lively, a screen was moved a little, Jiang Yashuang flashed in, and hurriedly blocked the tuyere again.

"Sufu!" The eldest Jiang Jingkun, who has already remembered people, and has been taught by a nurse from time to time, saw him come in at this moment, so he shouted in his throat, stretched out his little short arm, kicked off the quilt, and staggered to stand up and beg for a hug.

"Carefully get cold!" Jiang Yashuang said with a smile, walked to the couch in three steps and two steps, hugged him and Fu'er one in one hand, skillfully checked it, and said, "It seems to be a little heavier than yesterday!" ”

Jiang Jinglang, who was left alone and had no hugs, was not annoyed, and stared happily at the silver spoon in his mother's hand, obviously he felt that the situation was better without the two brothers grabbing food.

Qiu Yulan said while digging egg custard for his son: "Now is the time when they grow the fastest, and they say that they don't see it, but in fact, it is the same for a few days, and it is the most obvious when they are dressed." ”

"Lang'er, who has no conscience, came for his father, and he didn't even give him a look? Could it be that your own father and I are not as good as the egg custard in your mother's hand, which only has half a bowl left? Jiang Yashuang hugged her nephew and nephew, afraid that they would be frozen, so she put them back in the small quilt and wrapped them, and touched their little heads to comfort them.

Jiang Yashuang took the opportunity to take her son into her arms and kissed his fat cheek: "Hey! It's also a lot heavier! ”

He was full of love for his son, but Jiang Jinglang didn't appreciate it, and when he saw that the delicious egg custard was gone, he took a bite of the tasteless corner of his clothes, and suddenly his mouth was flattened, and he was about to cry!

"Hurry up and bring me a bowl of custard!" Jiang Yashuang was helpless, so she had to call Su He.

It wasn't until Jiang Yashuang brought the extra bowl of egg custard stewed in the kitchen to him that Jiang Jinglang stopped crying with satisfaction, spitting bubbles and babbling for food.

"Be careful!" With her husband helping to coax her son, Qiu Lulan only had to take care of her two nephews, so she suddenly relaxed a little, took the time to look at the father and son, and saw her husband holding his son in his lap and feeding him in his arm, so he reminded him.

Jiang Yashuang only said that his wife thought it was unsafe, and said unconcernedly: "Don't worry, Lang'er is so heavy, she won't miss it." "With dozens of pounds of weapons, he can dance for an hour without breathing, not to mention his son who is less than twenty pounds now?

As a result, before the words fell, I suddenly felt a heat on my legs......

"I mean, he just refused to put on a diaper...... Qiu Yulan was halfway through her words, and when she saw her husband's speechless appearance, she couldn't help laughing, "Are you really waiting for you to hug him?" ”

"Little conscienceless!" Jiang Yashuang shook her head, kissed her son's forehead with a smile, handed the egg custard to Su He, and said to his wife, "I'll take him back to the house to clean up, and I'll change my clothes." ”

Although he was a little depressed at the moment, he still calmly went back to the house and handed Jiang Jinglang to Qu's mother to clean up, and went to the bathroom to wash hastily and changed into clean clothes - when he came out, Qiu Lulan had already returned to the house, and the screen and soft couch in the courtyard had also been removed, and he asked: "What about the children?" ”

"The sun is almost over, and seeing that they are all tired, let the nurse take them back to the house." Taking a child is really a hard work, Qiu Yulan is in good health, so he accompanied the three children to bask in the sun and feed the custard, and at this moment there are signs of back pain, and he is asking Su He to take a hammer to hammer himself slowly.

Jiang Yashuang waved his hand to let Su He go down, took the beauty hammer and hammered his wife's shoulder, and said, "Bicheng went to find me today." ”

"Is it for A-Xing and my brother?" Qiu Yulan asked.

"Not bad!" Jiang Yashuang said, "The marriage between my brother and Cousin Zhuang is in April. The two of them are in Beijing now anyway, and the two elders are also in the hall, and it is not the first time that they have done such a big thing, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

Qiu Yulan muttered: "Although there are no elders in my mother's family to help with, but Ruan Bo is an old man who has followed my maternal grandfather for many years, and I dare not say that I am all-encompassing for these people, but I will not lose my dignity and make the Ou family embarrassed!" ”

"Not about that." Jiang Yashuang explained, "You also know the Ou family-as long as the elder brother treats Ah Xing sincerely, add a little bit to the false courtesy, and subtract a little, they don't care." The main reason is that the war in the north is going to war, and Jing Bo sent back the news, saying that the Xiban seems to have a change, if so, the elder brother must not miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I am afraid that he will miss the wedding date! ”

"That's it......" Qiu Yulan frowned, "It's really hard to say, after all, my brother is young, and if he wants to serve the public, the easiest and fastest way is military merit...... It's really hard to do! ”

The husband and wife discussed for a while, and they were helpless against this force majeure accident. You can't let Qiu Jinglan leave everything behind and return to Beijing in order to get married on time, right? If they were willing, Qiu Jinglan would not be this kind of person.

"Why don't they get married in August, and then they really have to delay it, right?" In the end, I had to put it first.

Jiang Yashuang talked about the emperor again: "Since the queen entered the palace, His Majesty has stayed in the Beique Hall every night, and the fourth aunt said that they are very affectionate - even if His Majesty only does it for the fourth aunt to see, but after getting along for a long time, they have real feelings in the end." ”

Qiu Yulan snorted: "The queen has suffered enough grievances, and it is time for her to live a good life for a few days!" ”

"If you can give birth to a big prince, you can save a lot of trouble." Jiang Yashuang groaned, "If it is a princess, if there is a prince in the future, it is a priority to return to the East Palace." However, if it is a princess this time, Huizhi will enter the palace next year, and I am afraid that she will have to think about it. ”

"When she thinks about it, she has to be pregnant, and she has to be the emperor's heir." Qiu Yulan said calmly, "Maybe the queen is pregnant again at that time?" ”

Jiang Yashuang smiled and said, "It's good if that's the case!" "My father told us when he left, and we shouldn't toss them anymore because the big house is like this." If you don't look at anything else, just look at your grandfather's age, if it's not an important matter, why make your elders sad? Therefore, in the harem, the queen can win the man in one fell swoop and seal the East Palace, which is the best! ”

Qiu Yulan squinted: "I know-when I enter the palace after filial piety, I won't ask the queen to take the initiative to deal with Huizhi." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something, "My father-in-law said this to Nineteen, is it just to take care of him and not to chase and beat the big house?" Is there any other purpose? ”

For example, "The previous theft of my mother's dowry for the previous eighth sister-in-law killed all the concubines who stretched out their hands in the backyard of Jiang Ya Dan - should my father-in-law think that we instigated this matter, right?!" ”

So by telling the youngest son to be forgiving and forgiving to the big house-the reason is to make Qin Guogong better, but the actual intention is to beat his husband and wife: "Don't be too domineering, even my brother's backyard is so arrogant!" ”

"What a grievance! What's the matter with our husband and wife?! Qiu Yulan secretly spat out a mouthful of blood, "This is obviously what your wife meant!" You husband and wife have spent most of their lives together, and you still don't know your wife's temper?! Not to mention that Nineteen was not there at the time, can I persuade my daughter-in-law, who has met with my mother-in-law for a few days? Besides, it is natural that I don't persuade them, those concubines are more soft and afraid of hard than the other, and it is better to look at the eight sisters-in-law in front of them. Sex. Son, An'er is young, and it is not a good thing to spoil their mother and son vigorously! ”
