They received news on the way, Dao Jian Xubai was ordered by Emperor Duanhua during this time, and entered the palace every day to visit the Empress Dowager, and the Yanguo Mansion was only presided over by the young Mrs. Guo, and she had to take a daughter who was less than one year old, so it was obviously not easy to get out.

So he didn't send a letter to the Guogong Mansion in advance, lest they take the time to pick it up, but went directly to the door.

Song Yixiao was very surprised when she received the notice, and hurriedly changed her dress to greet her: "I don't know if my aunt and uncle and my cousins, sisters and cousins and sisters-in-law came, and I couldn't welcome them from afar, so I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

"I didn't say it because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to spare your hands, but I came suddenly, but I was going to tire you!" Jian Limiao was right, Jian Lizhi was not a difficult person to get along with, after meeting, she directly took off a tired silk eight-treasure bracelet and gave it to Song Yixiao to wear as a meeting gift, and then kept holding her arm and saying while walking, very kind and kind.

Song Yi smiled and greeted this aunt, but paid attention not to snub the others - uncle Ji Zhou has a beautiful white face and elegant temperament, and he is quite a match for Jian Lizhi, who is half old Xu, and the couple has two sons and three daughters, and the eldest daughter has already married, so there is no companion this time, and the other two sons and two daughters are here this time.

The eldest son is Ji Wangxi, who came to congratulate Song Yi when he left the pavilion with a smile, and his wife Han is handsome and doesn't talk much, but she looks quite dignified, and she is obviously from everyone's background. The couple has two sons and a daughter under their knees, the eldest son Ji Ling is the same age as Lu Guanyun, they are both six years old this year, they are very well-behaved and quiet, and the younger brother and sister are obviously learning from the eldest brother, and they are very likable;

The second son, Ji Wangxing, is still young, eleven years old, and his big black eyes are very clever.

The two cousins, Ji Wanglan and Ji Wangzhu, are thirteen and nineteen years old, although they are both daughters, their appearances are very different.

Ji Wanglan's appearance is ordinary, even with the addition of exquisite clothing and good manners, at most she can only say that she is not ugly; But Ji Wangzhu was born with an apricot face and peach cheeks, with autumn water in his eyes, and he was happy and hateful between his expectations, although his eyebrows and eyes were not fully grown, he could also see that he would become a beauty in the future.

I don't know if it's because of this, Ji Wangzhu is quite arrogant.

Of course, her age is not so annoying as to be annoying.

Because Jian Xubai will still be in front of the Queen Mother, only Song Yixiao is the only one to entertain the Ji family, the two sides have never known each other, and they have nothing to talk about in common, so they have nothing to say after greetings.

Fortunately, Jian Qingyue was still in infancy, and after being carried out, everyone gathered around her to talk about the Children's Sutra, in this regard, Jian Lizhi and his wife, Ji Wangxi and his wife are very experienced, and the Ji family sisters and Ji Wangxing and Ji Ling are certainly unable to speak - but this kind of social occasion where relatives meet for the first time, it is not the turn of children to be the protagonists.

After a long time, Jian Limiao, who received the news, arrived first, and after entering the door, he shouted "eldest sister", shouting that Jian Lizhi got up and cried on the spot, regardless of the juniors on the side, he took three steps and two steps to meet him, hugged him and cried!

Everyone was shocked, but they also understood that their sister and brother had been separated for nearly 20 years, and they had only reunited today, and they couldn't help it.

It was only after the two of them hugged their heads and cried for a while that they stepped forward to comfort them.

Next, Song Yixiao was relaxed, Jian Limiao talked to Jian Lizhi and his wife, and Ji Wangxi and his wife added that she only had to hold her daughter and greet the Ji family sisters and Ji Wangxing, Ji Ling and others.

It's just that after talking for a long time, Jian Xubai rushed back from the palace, but the eldest princess and his wife of the Jin Kingdom were still nowhere to be seen!

It is reasonable that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom did not come, first, she has a noble status, just a sister-in-law of the same generation, she came to visit to give face, and no one can say anything about her if she doesn't come to visit; Second, when the emperor came to the emperor's great trip, she was sad that her brother was too late, how could she have the time to take care of her husband's relatives? Especially her relationship with Jian Likuang has been particularly bad recently.

But Jane didn't come either, which wasn't quite right.

"I heard two days ago that my father's health is not very good, so I couldn't come here because of this, and I hope that my aunt and uncle Haihan!" Jian Xubai noticed it, and hurriedly found a reason for Jian Likuang - he and Song Yixiao were both beating drums in their hearts: Mother shouldn't have cleaned up her father recently, right?!

Jian Likuang doesn't like his youngest son anymore, his sister who has been married for 20 years is here, and he wants to go out of his way, but he didn't come this time, not necessarily because he didn't come on purpose, most of them couldn't come.

And the reason why the road so close can't come, eight times out of ten. Jiu provoked the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom again......

It's just this kind of inside story, Jian Xubai, Song Yixiao, and Jian Limiao are all tacit, and they will never tell the Ji family!

Fortunately, the Ji family also reasoned and did not ask, and they cared about a few words of Jane Likuang, and then covered up this matter.

When Jian Xubai came back, it was already evening, and without saying a few words, he ordered a banquet in the kitchen to catch the wind and wash the dust for the aunt's family who came from afar, and Jian Limiao naturally stayed.

However, because it is still during the period when Emperor Daxing is suspended, there is nothing to eat in this so-called banquet - other people's families are also okay, Jian Xubai is the nephew of Emperor Daxing after all, or raised in the palace, and treated as a son by Emperor Daxing, even if he wants to wash the dust of his aunt's family, how can he not abide by the rules that should be abided?

Don't even think about the wine and bamboo, and there is no shadow of even the meat.

This meal is very bland.

Of course, adults can understand, but the younger Ji Wangzhu and Ji Wangxing obviously showed disappointed and dissatisfied looks.

On the contrary, it was the younger Ji Ling three brothers and sisters, Bucai's nurse gave them what they ate, although they didn't show a look of satisfaction with the food, but they didn't mean to be dissatisfied - I don't know how the Han family raised their children, such an old child was so well-behaved.

Song Yixiao saw it in his eyes, and was about to say a few words of reparation, but Jian Limiao was talking to Jian Lizhi about the old lady Duanmu, and after the two sisters and brothers discussed it in a low voice, they asked Song Yixiao: "Your aunt and grandmother, how is the situation?" ”

After Song Yixiao finished answering this question, most of the people put their chopsticks aside, and Ji Wangzhu and Ji Wangxing also quickly took the tea and rinsed their mouths when they saw this-At this time, Ji Zhou and Jian Limiao discussed tea again, Song Yixiao saw this, and simply turned his head and whispered to Jinxun: "I will send some pastries to my cousin and cousin later, I see that they haven't moved a few spoons, don't be hungry at night." ”

And he said, "Don't leave your nephews and nieces behind." ”

After that, Jian Limiao considered the curfew, drank a cup of tea and left.

After he left, the Ji family also showed tiredness, and Jian Xubai and his wife hurriedly sent them to the prepared yard for settlement.

After being busy for most of the day, the couple went back to Keshaotang to freshen up and change clothes.

After lying on the couch, Jian Xubai said to his wife: "The emperor's grandmother's mood is still not very good, although I came back early today, I can't say that I will go to the palace to accompany her old man tomorrow." The hospitality of my aunt's family has to work hard for you! ”

"It's not hard." Song Yixiao didn't care, "Most things have people to do, and I'm just sending a word." ”

She was more worried that her husband was running around all day, "During this time, our family is not good to see meat, I see that you have lost weight clearly." Ming'er asked the kitchen to make some medicinal food, it happened that my aunt's family came from afar, and on such a hot day, there must be a loss, so I will make up for it. ”

Jian Xubai said to himself, and said: "My aunts and uncles are here, and we don't have to worry about my cousins, nephews, nieces and nephews." However, our daughter is still young, if it is hot today, she suddenly came down from Cuihua Mountain, but she has to watch a little! It's best to let Aunt Yun see it once in the morning and once in the evening to be safe. ”

He is so nervous Jian Qingyue is by no means too doting, in fact, this will go up to the palace and down to Li Shu, and the death of children is commonplace.

And Jian Qingyue only had a fever on Cuihua Mountain, and within a few days after that, he caught up with Emperor Xianjia's big trip, and hurriedly withdrew from Cuihua Mountain to the imperial capital with his parents - such a toss, many adults feel unbearable, like the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Su, who need someone to support them when they get up, not to mention the baby who is still holding in their hands?

Song Yi smiled and knew the severity, and said, "Don't worry, I will take a good look at her." ”

is also her biological daughter, how can she not be in pain?

The next day, after the couple got up, they first went to the courtyard where Jian Lizhi and his wife lived to ask for peace, and after the Ji family was ready, they had breakfast together.

After Jian Xubai took Ji Zhou and Ji Wangxi into the palace to mourn, Song Yixiao handed over her daughter to Aunt Yun, and also led Jian Lizhi and other female dependents to the place where the female dependents cried - in fact, at this time, because the spirit has been stopped for half a month, the matter of crying is nothing, after all, which female dependents who are qualified to cry are not pampered, and they really cry for 27 days, it is estimated that many families will have to do funerals when they turn around.

So it's just a matter of ordering, but I have to go to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Su to say goodbye.

However, these two are not very sick now, and Jian Lizhi is not a character they must see, even if Song Yixiao led it, they didn't see it, they only heard their henchmen come out and say some perfunctory words, rewarded something, and sent them out of the palace.

After returning to the Yanguo Mansion, Song Yixiao looked at the hot and sweaty appearance of everyone, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to serve iced sour plum soup to relieve the heat.

"I heard that the crown princess has not yet been canonized, but she has moved to Weiyang Palace, and I don't know if I need to pay a visit?" After Jian Lizhi took a sip, he waved his hand to let the person who fanned her retreat, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and asked Song Yixiao, "I forgot it when I was in the palace today, and I will remember it later." ”

"Auntie, you don't know, the crown princess is about to give birth, and it's only a few days left." Song Yixiao explained, "The reason why Your Majesty has not yet been registered is precisely to be sympathetic to his wife. It's because we'll go over here, I'm afraid it will disturb the crown princess, so it's better to wait for the birth of the imperial heir before going. ”

Jian Lizhi suddenly said: "I see! ”

just said, "It's up to you to mention it, otherwise we're going to collide with the crown princess today!" ”

"What did the eldest aunt say?" Song Yi smiled and said humbly, "It's also my aunt who came to the imperial capital, otherwise where would I need to talk too much?" ”

"Twenty years away, this imperial capital is really a thing for me!" Jian Lizhi sighed with emotion, and took advantage of the situation to say, "This time I came in a hurry, my eyes are really black, and I don't know what the emperor has been like all these years - if you are free, why don't you tell me?" ”

swept the daughters-in-law and daughters under his eyes, "Let them also have a long insight, so that they don't know if they meet nobles!" ”

This is also the proper meaning - after all, it was only Ji Zhou who needed to rush back to the imperial capital to mourn, and he brought all the female dependents, obviously wanting to take this opportunity to transfer back to the imperial capital to serve. So as his wife and daughter, Jian Lizhi and the others naturally have to know about the recent situation of the nobles in the imperial capital.

Even though they would send people to inquire when they were in office, after all, they were not as thoughtful as Song Yixiao, the Duchess of the Kingdom who had been living in the imperial capital, to speak in person.

For this kind of reasonable and not difficult request, Song Yixiao responded happily, and did her best to describe the current court to them - in this process, Jian Lizhi naturally had to ask questions, Song Yixiao felt that this aunt seemed to be particularly interested in the crown princess.

However, Song Yixiao didn't think it was strange, although she was still shouting about the crown princess, she was about to be Queen Wei.

And Empress Wei seems to have the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Su on her head, and she is not the most noble woman in Da Rui at present.

But the Empress Dowager is old, and it is hard to say how long she can last after experiencing the pain of losing her son this time, not to mention that the Empress Dowager didn't care when she was the Empress Dowager, and there was no reason to fight for power with her granddaughter-in-law when it was her turn to come to power; As for Empress Dowager Su, she is not the biological mother of Emperor Duanhua, and she once supported her biological son to compete for the throne with Emperor Duanhua, even if she is now the queen mother as a mother-in-law, how dare she point fingers at Empress Wei?

is the object of the next female dependents, and it must be Queen Wei. And it is reasonable for Jian Lizhi to focus on inquiring about this person's preferences.

It's just that what she never expected was that Jian Lizhi's purpose was not as simple as she thought.

The day after arriving in the imperial capital, the Ji family took condolences as the priority, and on the next day, they went to visit the eldest princess and his wife of the Jin Kingdom.

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom received Jian Lizhi and his party alone, and Jian Likuang's absence was the same as her son's daughter-in-law's previous perfunctory, which was attributed to "lying sick".

The eldest princess also explained the cause and effect: "I was used to staying in the mountains, and when I came back, I basked all the way, and I ate cold drinks, and I fell ill all of a sudden." Now that I'm sweating in the house, it's really hard to come out and see each other, so please don't be surprised. ”

Although it was not the first time for Jian Lizhi to meet the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, he didn't have much friendship, Xu didn't see his younger brother, and he didn't have the interest in having a long talk, so he said goodbye after a perfunctory meeting.

And the eldest princess didn't stay much - after this cutscene, the Ji family went to see the cleaning of their own courtyard every other day, except for the occasional visit to Jian Limiao's side.

After all, if the people who came back to the imperial capital were only Ji Wangxi and other peers, it would be nothing to borrow a little longer in the Yanguo Mansion, and now that the two elders are here, they are not without a house in the imperial capital, how can they stay forever?

In the end, they moved in, and Jian Xubai and his wife had to pay for their family and their subordinates to eat and drink inside, and they had to send some small things every once in a while, but they refused to accept money - they kept living and didn't leave, didn't this become a deliberate attempt to take advantage of the younger generation?

Therefore, three or two days after Emperor Xianjia was officially buried, the Ji family submitted a farewell, saying that their house had been cleaned up and could move in.

Jian Xubai and his wife naturally wanted to warmly keep their aunt's family to live for a few more days, and Jian Lizhi declined their kindness with a smile: "Hengzhu's house is also very close to here, and it is very convenient for us to come and go when we move over." Moreover, Ah Xuan often needs to enter the palace to be filial to the Empress Dowager during this time, and you have to take care of Qingyue, so why are you embarrassed if we continue to disturb us? ”

The Ji family is definitely going to move out - everyone knows this, so after the politeness between the two sides was over, they still moved.

The day after they moved out, news came from the palace that the crown princess was initiated, and she was going to give birth!
