Chapter 629: The Great Army Returns
In fact, something really happened to the Yanguo Mansion - Jian Limiao suddenly fainted!
Three years ago, when a series of major events occurred in the imperial capital around the struggle for the throne, Jian Limiao was far away in Liaozhou because of Ding Wei's worries, and when he learned the news, the dust had settled on the imperial capital and the Sutai imperial capital had ascended the throne.
Even though the person who reported the news repeatedly emphasized that everyone in the Yanguo Mansion, including all the servants Jian Limiao knew, were safe and sound, Jian Limiao was still seriously ill in Liaozhou after being afraid.
According to the custom at this time, when the father's illness was so serious that he was bedridden, no matter what his children and grandchildren did, they had to rush back to serve the sick in person, and at least some of the children and grandchildren had to serve in person.
And Jian Limiao only had one son, Jian Xubai, at that time his grandson had not yet been born, once the news of his serious illness spread, public opinion would definitely force Jian Xubai Zhishi to return to his hometown and serve him - at that time, Jian Xubai was just in power, and his status seemed to be noble but not stable at all, it was the weakest and most dangerous time, and it was too late to consolidate his power, where could he afford such a demolition?
In order not to hold his son back, Jian Limiao wrote a letter to the princess of Chengyang, and tried his best to conceal his illness: he quickly moved out of Liaozhou City under the pretext of liking cleanliness and lived in a remote Zhuangzi outside the city, so as to avoid those uninvited or admiring visitors.
Moving during illness, although it was not a long journey, but the situation at that time was already a bit worse for Jian Limiao.
Even if he was accompanied by a doctor from Jinxiutang, and there was a medicinal herb shop under his name that could quietly grab medicine, but he had already injured his foundation because of premature birth, and his physique was congenitally inferior to ordinary people.
Later, because he was worried about the hatred of Mrs. Yan Guotai, and later added the resentment of his wife's separation, in this mood, of course, the effect of recuperation was not optimistic.
This time, after hearing the news of the fall of the imperial capital, his mood fluctuated too much, and he fell ill in a hurry - he hurt his already bad body more and more, and it can be said that years of recuperation were in vain.
Therefore, I really responded to the sentence "Illness is like a mountain, and illness is like a thread", and I was stunned to lie on the couch until I was filial.
At this point, he suffered another loss: Originally, the official Ding was worried about returning to his hometown, and the recovery after his filial piety generally had a period of time. Jian Limiao originally planned to use this time period to recuperate his body and facilitate his long journey.
Who knows that on the side of the imperial capital, Emperor Sutai doesn't know the inside story, and feels that since he has a happy cooperation with Jian Xubai, Jian Limiao is also a talented and talented person in the prime of life, and he should be reinstated immediately after Ding Wei, which not only gives the family and the court more usable materials, but also brushes up on the good feeling in front of important partners.
It was to pinch the date of Jian Limiao's filial piety, and asked people to prepare the holy decree in advance to rush to Liaozhou - so Jian Limiao could only drag his body back to the imperial capital, this was raised by the princess of Chengyang as the concubine of Jinxiutang, although she was not surnamed Duanmu, but she was dyed with the habits of people in the paste, and she was used to food, clothing, housing and transportation.
When their three-room family moved from Jane's old house to the house in Liaozhou City, Song Yixiao thought that the temporary place to settle down was good, but he found it difficult to see, which is an example.
But after receiving the holy decree of Emperor Sutai to pinch the time, in order to hurry, he had to hurry repeatedly.
In this way, it is natural to take care of any finesse and exquisiteness.
In this way, all the way to the imperial capital, the whole person was so thin that the marketing bones were standing, not only the princess of Chengyang and Jian Xubai and his wife were surprised, but even a few familiar colleagues were shocked when they saw it a few days later, and comforted him in a loud voice: "The Si people have gone, adults still have to take care of themselves!" Otherwise, if the old man sees it under Jiuquan, he will definitely be unbearable! ”
——Outsiders think that Jian Limiao is because of excessive grief in filial piety as a filial son.
With this kind of good reputation, the Yanguo Mansion naturally won't clarify it, but Jian Xubai gently reminded Emperor Su Tai that his father is not in good health and can't work too hard for the time being.
Although Emperor Sutai was quite regretful, there was no way to do this kind of thing in Kang Jian, so in the end he had to transfer Jian Limiao from the position of the original waiter of the Ministry of Rites to a more idle yamen, and only wait for him to recuperate, and then entrust him with important tasks.
Calculating the time, Jian has recovered after Miao Ding's worry, and it has been more than a year and almost two years now.
Song Yixiao remembered that her father-in-law's complexion had been much better recently, and his face looked a little meaty, and he was haggard and emaciated when he returned to the imperial capital. She still thought that after these days' conditioning, Jian Limiao was going to get better!
Who knew that without warning, something would happen if something happened today?
When Song Yixiao hurriedly said goodbye to Empress Nie and rushed back to the Yanguo Mansion, Jian Xubai, who was on an errand, had already come back first, and stayed in front of Jian Limiao's couch with Princess Chengyang, and their faces were not very relaxed.
Seeing this situation, Song Yixiao was secretly shocked, and subconsciously glanced at the couch - the half-hanging gauze tent slightly covered the scene on the couch, and only vaguely saw that Jian Limiao seemed to be lying on his back, this beautiful man who was extremely famous twenty years ago, even if he was now a grandfather, his sick face was still difficult to hide.
It's just that the snow-white face with the middle coat is really frightening!
"How's Daddy?" Song Yixiao looked around, didn't see the doctor, and asked her husband in a low voice after blessing Princess Chengyang.
Jian Xubai said with a calm face: "The old disease has recurred, and Aunt Yun said that she would discuss it with her senior brother, and she would be talking in the wing room outside." ”
Yun Gu's senior brother is the doctor who has been following Jian Limiao.
At that time, Jinxiutang had the inheritance of Ji Qu's disease, of course, it was impossible to cultivate a doctor in each generation, and for convenience, it was often cultivated both male and female doctors at the same time.
Aunt Yun is the leader of this generation of female doctors, and she originally followed Princess Chengyang, but when Jian Xubai had an accident in Wuhuan, Princess Chengyang trusted her the most, and felt that Jian Xubai's age, a more careful female doctor was more suitable, so she sent her out.
The most outstanding male doctor of this generation, that is, Yun Gu's senior brother, followed Jian Limiao from the beginning.
Although the strength of the two brothers and sisters is similar, the focus is different-after all, the previous cultivation direction is also different-and now they actually want to get together to discuss, looking at the appearance of Princess Chengyang and Jian Xubai, haven't they been discussing for a while?
Song Yixiao couldn't help but sink in her heart, and subconsciously looked at her father-in-law on the couch again.
She still has a good impression of this father-in-law, and hopes from the bottom of her heart that he can live a long life - but, I don't know if this is possible?
On this day, the atmosphere of the entire Yanguo Mansion was very depressing, and many people who received the news came to visit, but they were all stopped by Menzi, on the grounds that the masters were now gathered in front of Jian Limiao's sickbed, and they couldn't make a move, and they didn't have the heart to come out to receive guests, so they could only appreciate the kindness of the mansions.
The current status of the Yanguo Mansion is even more prominent and powerful than that of Emperor Xianjia, and everyone knows that this family is indeed not prosperous, and the hostess is just pregnant, and when she needs to take care of her, her father-in-law fell down first - if you have to receive a wave of visitors, you will really lack skills.
People have not been angry when they heard this, so they put down the post and gifts, and they left.
These things are handled by their own subordinates, and they can't bother the owners for the time being.
In the Yishui Xuan where Jian Limiao lived, Princess Chengyang and Jian Xubai waited for more than an hour before waiting for the return of the Yun brothers and sisters.
This result can only be said to be unsatisfactory: "The old man was not good at the end of the year, and it can be said that he has not recuperated for a few years in this life, and the serious illness three years ago greatly injured his vitality, and then he recovered and experienced the rush, even if he has done very easy since the recovery, but it is only easy for ordinary people, but for the master, it is still unbearable." ”
Although the two brothers and sisters are from Jinxiutang, there is nothing to do at this moment, so they can only suggest that Jian Li Miao Zhishi, "If it is not bad, it must be easier." ”
And then there were no flowers, that is, "Keep eating the same recipe you've been eating before." ”
Princess Chengyang and Jian Xubai were naturally disappointed when they heard the news.
After all, Jian Limiao's current age was originally the most productive period in the court.
What's more, even if Jian Xubai breaks the restrictions of age and seniority through the destruction of Di Li, and really gains a firm foothold in the court, he still needs the assistance of his father.
Now Jian Limiao can't even do the idle errand, and if he starts to be an old lady in advance - not only is it a political loss; Emotionally, Jian Li Miao Tanhua was born, talented, and talented, Jian Xubai is most likely inferior to this father, and he will stop his career at this moment, and it is estimated that he may not have no regrets in his heart.
"It's good to be here." There was silence in the room for a while, and the senior brothers and sisters of Aunt Yun have always been calm, but they are about to show a little panic at this moment, but in the end, Princess Chengyang opened her mouth, looked around, and said slowly, "Our family, over the years, can be regarded as ups and downs, and has rich experience. Although it is not suitable to continue to be an official now, our family's courtyard is supported by Ah Xu, although the Qing world is small, but the child grows up fast. Shanyao is pregnant again, if he is still a boy, after ten or twenty years, he can be a helper for his father and brother - and he doesn't have to point to Limiao to support the façade. Now that he is away from Miao, is it difficult for you to think that he can only eat dry rice in the future? ”
Jian Xubai and his wife were a little crying and laughing, and Jian Xubai said: "I wish my father could enjoy Qingfu!" I'm afraid that my father is still strong and feels that the house is too lonely. ”
"Isn't Leoyuan already about to officially enroll?" Princess Chengyang immediately said, "There are also the two children of Zhu'er and Xuan'er, after leaving Miao Zhishi, if you feel bored, just give them a lecture." With his level, the children's homework doesn't need to worry much, and if you talk about it casually, it may not be worse than those gentlemen who are invited from outside. ”
Xu is because Jian Qingyue's maiden name was taken by the Empress Dowager, since she was promoted to the county lord and changed her title, Princess Chengyang also changed her mouth, only calling her new title "Leyuan".
However, for Jian Qingshi, although this child was registered as the prince of Yanguo when he was full of Zhou, Princess Chengyang still called his name "Qingshi".
This kind of subsection, of course, the Jian Xubai couple is following the princess of Chengyang.
"I'm going to be jealous of Leyuan and them." Song Yixiao smiled and answered, "I was very grateful to be able to enter the women's school of Hengshan Wangfu when I was a child, and I didn't dare to slack off in learning things, for fear of wasting this rare opportunity." Who knew that not only could they get the guidance of your grandmother, but now even their father has to give lectures - how many people can have such treatment throughout the ages? It's really enviable. ”
This is not all flattery to the elders, Princess Chengyang not only has the identity of a princess, but also the most orthodox famous lady from Jinxiutang; Jian Limiao is a typical noble son who was taught according to the standards of the children of famous families, and he is still a flower.
Although there are people who are more noble than them throughout the ages, it may not be possible to put aside others and concentrate on guiding young children.
However, these two are now ignoring foreign affairs and concentrating on raising in the house, and there is nothing else to worry about except teaching the children.
Jian Qingyue and they can have such teacher conditions, unless they are really not taught, even if they do not have the support of the Yan State Mansion, their future prospects are destined to surpass everyone.
"It also depends on personal qualifications, you kid, don't I look good?" Although Princess Chengyang's words were praising Song Yixiao, she also euphemistically revealed that this elderly princess actually didn't look down on the female students of Hengshan Palace, she said with a light smile, "Of course, Leyuan They look at it as sensible and intelligent children, and they will definitely study hard!" ”
The conversation shifted to the children, and the atmosphere was finally lively.
But it's just a moment of relief - although Jian Limiao doesn't say that he is going to die soon, the situation is not optimistic.
On the same day, Jian Xubai took his ill health for him and asked for a letter from Zhishi.
Then, according to the usual practice, I also went to the table to pay tribute, on the grounds that I had to serve my father day and night.
Because the scene of Jian Limiao fainting looked very dangerous, Princess Chengyang and Jian Xubai were afraid that he would leave him, but Song Yixiao, who was meeting Queen Nie in Weiyang Palace, was not in the mansion.
At that time, Empress Nie naturally knew about this - the queen would not be stupid enough not to tell Emperor Sutai about this.
Therefore, Emperor Sutai, who knew the inside story, very simply approved Jian Limiao's Zhishi, and also gave a large number of precious medicinal materials; As for Jian Xubai's own Zhishi, the emperor also refuted it very simply.
First, Jian Xubai's current status in the court, whether the emperor wants him to go or not, he has to make a gesture; Second, although Di Li has been defeated like a mountain, but the remnants have not been cleared, the army has not returned, and the finishing work has not been completed.
But in order to show filial piety, and also to prevent being caught by political enemies, Jian Xubai was stunned and served Jian Limiao in the mansion for several days, until Jian Limiao's condition improved and he didn't need the news that his only son served him every day, and Jian Xubai started to go to court again.
And at this time, the backlog of music has almost crushed the sturdy rosewood curly grass pattern circle foot long case!
As his wife, Song Yixiao is not easy.
Jian Limiao's condition improved and improved, but it was not all good.
The husband has to continue to work on errands and work for the family's present and future prosperity and wealth, and the house is her territory and responsibility.
Although Princess Chengyang is very worried about Jian Limiao's body, as the elder of her aunt and mother-in-law, even if she lives in the same mansion, she can't run to see Jian Limiao every day - her own body can't bear such a back and forth.
However, although Song Yixiao is pregnant, she has to go to see her father-in-law once a day and greet her.
Of the four children who have landed under their knees, Song Xuan, the righteous son, is the most sensible, but he is only an enlightened child, and it is impossible to completely open his hands; Jian Qingyue, the lord of Leyuan, is the eldest daughter of his own child, and has always been pampered, although he has not yet gotten used to any bad habits, he always has to coax every other day; The quietest sister, Lu Zhuo'er, the county lord of Xinling, still refuses to say a word all year round after all these years, and Song Yi laughs and coaxes her to the point of despair.
But thinking that Lu Zhuoer is going to leave the cabinet, she has always had such a temperament, and she won't know how to sue if she suffers a loss in the future, she feels really uncomfortable, and she can't let it go, so she can't help but continue to coax - it takes time and energy to coax her sister.
As for his three-year-old son Jian Qingshi, who has been named the son of the world, he has already begun to make trouble, and it is foreseeable that if there is no accident, he can be even more noisy in the next few years.
…… The most pitiful thing is that when Song Yixiao was pregnant with a son and a daughter before, although she also had discomfort during pregnancy, it was not very strong, and it was over after a little endurance.
This baby seems to be in the fun, and since it has been two months, it has been all kinds of tosses.
During the most intense period of time, Song Yixiao almost ate and vomited, and she lost a lot of weight in just a few days, not only scared Princess Chengyang to come to see her every day for several days, but Jian Xubai took two days off to accompany her in spite of her busy schedule.
As for the visits and condolences of the imperial city and various families, it is needless to mention.
For Song Yixiao, from the end of the third year of Sutai to the first half of the fourth year of Sutai, although it was only half a year, it was really difficult, and it was completely like a year.
But no matter how difficult the days were, I lived by, and before I knew it, they had passed.
At the end of the summer and the beginning of the fourth year of Sutai, the great Rui monarch had just finished the summer vacation from Cuihua Mountain, and the cage brought back to the imperial capital had not yet been placed.
The imperial capital was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to see how Di Li, who was ravaging the Central Plains fifty years ago, was embarrassed to be tied up and escorted, and when he was prostrate in front of the monarchs and ministers of Darui, Song Yixiao, who was nine months pregnant, suddenly remembered from his busyness what Empress Nie said to him at the end of last year.
There has been no news in the palace that Empress Nie is expected to give birth......
