Two years later, on a dog summer day, He Angelica sat under the grapevines of Hongdou Villa in Sweet Water City, feeding his two children milk paste while reading a letter sent by Qing'er from the capital.

A long hair unconsciously grew to the knees again, cold as water, spread on the homely floral dress, driving away the summer heat.

The clouds overhead climb slowly, marking the flow of time. There are more than a dozen feathered finches walking in the patio, pecking rice. Occasionally, milk paste fell from the bowl and landed on the stone steps of her skirt, and the daring feathers approached, pecked a small bite, and then ran away in panic with their wings in a comical manner.

At this moment, the years are quiet and comfortable.

Her son, Lethe, and her younger brother, Bao Lan, are struggling to swallow the milk. Two little babies of the same age, who had been tugging in the cradle from morning till night, would cry so loudly that her head would be so loud that she could not stop crying.

So in contrast, ten-year-old Brother Zhu and Wei Geer are much more sensible, and will take the initiative to run to pinch her shoulders, although after Wei Geer pinched, she often has multiple caterpillars on the back of her head.

The letter was gently unfolded with his bare hands, and the letter paper rustled.

Qing'er's letter said that half a year ago, the emperor's "folk queen" died violently overnight, and the emperor often went to Yangzhou to mourn while being sad. For a time, business on both sides of the canal was booming, and trading was opened, and Qing'er asked if she wanted to invest money to make a profit.

The queen in the palace is dead?

He Danggui was not sad after reading it, because she just received a letter from Cicada Yi last month, reporting that she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, with similar eyebrows and eyes, but a man and a woman, which looked very interesting. Cicada Yi revealed that now she lives in a willow leaf village behind the Yangzhou Palace, and she has changed her name to Yao Sanniang, which is all the arrangement of "that person", and it is also Cicada's own plea.

What makes Cicada Yi happiest is that Liuyezhuang is very close to Sister Pearl's house, and Sister Pearl also has two sons, and now she is pregnant with her third child, and she really wants to have another daughter and pass on her unique skills of cooking food to her daughter. Sister Pearl returned to her old business and opened a restaurant, but the outside affairs were all taken care of by Miss Ji, and she nursed the children and studied the side dishes at home.

Miss Ji and Mama Tang are no longer in the Luo family, the big house and the second room of the Luo family have been separated half a year ago, and Mrs. Luo spent a lot of money to dig out the second son Luo Chuangu from prison, and married him the daughter of a rice merchant as a house. It didn't take long to find out that the daughter-in-law always took her mother-in-law's money back to make up for the losses in her mother's business, and after inquiring again, she found out that her in-laws were profiteering businessmen, hoarding and selling strange goods, and accidentally marrying her daughter into the Luo family.

Today's Luo family's wealth has not been greatly reduced, the lowest point is their reputation, the scandal in Luoxi Mansion is already known to everyone, and the century-old brand of Sanqingtang has also been disgraced. When the daughters of good families heard that they were going to marry the men of the Luo family, they cried so much that they were looking for death.

The old lady suffered a stroke in a fit of rage, and her daughter-in-law treated her harshly, driving away all her servants and maids, leaving her to fend for herself. Luo Chuangu pretended to be deaf and dumb, and now he only smokes and watches plays, and the rest don't pay attention to it.

At first, Mama Tang quietly went back to see the old lady at night and served the decoction, but she was noticed by the powerful daughter-in-law and arrested as a thief. Since then, Mama Tang and Miss Ji have been helping out in Pearl's restaurant, and it is difficult to intervene in the affairs of the Luo family.

Cicada Yi only waited for the confinement to visit Sister Pearl, to eat Sister Pearl's best leek box, fried gluten, small milk cake and spicy pumpkin vine, every day I don't think about tea.

Reading this, He Angelica laughed slightly, Cicada Yi has been a queen for a year, why are you still as greedy as when you were a child?

Of course, the emperor and the cicada's envoy's plan of "golden cicada shelling", He Angelica agrees very much. Compared with being a queen in the palace, entertaining seventeen or eighteen concubines with their own set of thoughts, raising children outside the palace is obviously more suitable for the simple and dull cicada clothes.

As far as Cicada's background is concerned, it is basically impossible for her son to win the throne. In the future, when the princes grow up, it is better to have a concubine than a concubine, which should be the opinion of everyone in the government and the opposition. After all, the emperor's favor is not everything, he was as strong as Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and he couldn't cover the sky with one hand, let alone Zhu Yunwen, who is now soft.

is not taken seriously but wants to turn the situation around, King Ning is a tragedy that came out of that environment.

In this case, it is better to get out as soon as possible, and it is not bad for my son to be a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou when he grows up. There is an emperor Lao Tzu, who can't be wronged.

Reading Qing'er's family letter further, the letter also said that after the two precious drops of milk were sent to Peng's house two years ago, Luo Maitong, an old lady who had "experience in treating eyes", was invited over, but after the diagnosis, he shook his head and said that even if he has ground milk, he needs a pair of matching eyes, because Peng Yan's two eyeballs have been stripped away, and ground milk is not omnipotent.

Then one day, Peng gradually suddenly had eyes. On the contrary, the eldest prince Peng Shi was placed under house arrest by the Holy Decree for two months, and the person suddenly disappeared, and no one could find him after that.

But there was a pool of blood on the pillow in his room, and the answer was vaguely revealed.

Mrs. Peng, Luo Chuanbei, hugged the bed and cried!

Reading this, He Angelica shook his head and sighed, just when Meng Xuan came back from the Lingnan cavalry station, he had just changed into a single robe, and when he heard his little wife sigh, he hurriedly flew over and asked, "What's the matter, let the second child be tired?" Come, take a sip of lychee wine to moisten your throat. ”

He Angelica frowned and sighed: "At the beginning, Mrs. Peng couldn't trust me, so she only accepted the milk, but she turned me away and turned to ask Luo Mai to treat her son. Obviously, the ground milk can cure Peng Yan's eyes, and there is no need to change the eyes, probably because Luo Maitong was greedy and wanted to detain the ground milk, so he claimed that changing his eyes could cure Peng Yan. In the end, Peng Shi actually gave up a pair of eyes to his younger brother, how not to regret it. ”

"Well, open your mouth and let me feed you."

He Angelica sighed again after drinking the lychee wine: "After this incident, I think back to Peng Shi, this person is not too selfish and annoying, after all, he is also a general, where can he go alone if he is blind, the Peng family has been looking for more than a year and can't find it, Peng gradually doesn't know what to blame himself." ”

Meng Xuan thought for a while and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, the eyeliner of Weiyang Palace is all over the world, and it's easy to find someone to come out." I asked my subordinates to bring him to my army as a master, and he could save me a lot of time to accompany you, you say? ”

"He can't even see, how can he write with a pen?"

"It's not easy, the fourth uncle is also living in Sweetwater City now, and he brought it over to ask why the fourth uncle can't see his eyes and still write, admire the moon, and admire the beauty as usual. I've always been curious, and I haven't had a chance to ask yet. ”

"Uhhhhhh

A boy in the cradle opened his mouth and cried, Meng Xuan raised his hand, threw a wine bag into the cradle in a dashing manner, and taught the boy in a deep voice: "The man drinks wine, sheds blood, and cries and makes people laugh!" ”

Sure enough, the boy stopped crying, and curiously stroked the wine bag, and put his head up to smell around.

He Angelica asked in surprise: "You are crazy, lychee wine is fruit wine, and even I can't stand up to it, you feed a one-year-old doll to drink this?" will drink the child stupidly, Meng Xuan, let go! The cradle was just a few steps away, but there was an "obstacle" across her waist.

Meng Xuan was surprised and said, "My father also gave me wine like this, and I was so old at that time!" No wonder I'm not as smart as Qing'er, it turns out that I drank fruit wine when I was a child! ”

"Really?"

"I've really drunk alcohol, and I'm really not as smart as Qing'er, Qing'er doesn't believe it, just try it."

"How do you try?"

"Try it this way."

"Hey, let it go! I've never seen you so sloppy. ”

"Where did I get a laid-eye, please ask the lady for advice."

"You pervert!" The pretty face was dyed pink, and the shame came, this Meng Xuan has no lower limit more and more.

"Hmm~~ Just a moment," General Meng, who had just taken off his armor, was coquettish on her chest at the moment, but what he asked for was not ordinary candy, "The maids are all on vacation to go to Queqiao to beg, and there is no one here, why should the lady be shy, you said it last night...... Ouch, why are you pulling my hair, lady? ”

"Pervert, your son is not human? My brother is not human? You let go, let go, don't force me to sprinkle you with powder! ”

He Angelica was very anxious, the two boys in the cradle were very quiet, should they really drink the bag of fruit bar? The railing blocks the view, just in sight.

"Woo-ah!" The boy's cry and cough came together.

She tried to break out of Meng Xuan's arms to coax the child, but Meng Xuan's entanglement skills were amazing, and she beat the eight-armed Nezha, and she still didn't win him once after fighting for two years.

Meng Xuan shouted at the wall: "Yiyi, call your daughter-in-law over to take the child!" ”

Then Yi Yi showed his face from the wall and said, "Childe, wait a minute, she is in the lychee garden at the bottom of the mountain." ”

After Yi Yi left, He Angelica wanted to strangle Meng Xuan very much, "This is still called no one!" ”

Meng Xuan's eyes were amazingly bright, and her dark eyes were dark, misinterpreting her meaning, "The lady is saying that if the next clearance is done well, we can ...... here."

"Don't force me to pour gunpowder on you, Meng Xuan!"

He Angelica opened his teeth and danced his claws, and the other one in the cradle was frightened and began to cry, and this duet sang half a pillar of incense, and only then did he jump in from the wall with a little woman dressed as a peasant woman.

The little woman still had a few leaves on her head, and she held a basket of lychees and stuffed them to He Angelica like a treasure: "Third Miss try this, the lychee forest in the dairy area, the lychees picked still have a little vanilla and milk flavor, so delicious that people want to climb the tree to eat!" ”

This little woman is the maid pomegranate in the courtyard of the old lady of Luofu that day, she was born a little stupid, always smiling and grinning, and she fell in love with He Angelica, but then she didn't have a chance to see her again, after all, she was the Luo family's death deed maid, and she couldn't take it away if she wanted to. So when Yi Yi married this daughter-in-law and came back, He Danggui was very surprised, isn't this a pomegranate!

The former master and servant met again, and it was very compatible, and Pomegranate still couldn't change her mouth and shouted "Third Miss", and she followed her.

"I rinsed it with spring water, and the third lady ate it directly! Gulp! ”

After taking the lychee basket, He Angelica smiled and thanked him, first peeled one and tasted it, and then peeled another and put it in Meng Xuan's mouth.

Meng Xuan opened his mouth after eating, looking like he was waiting to be fed, and He Angelica threw a shell into his mouth. Meng Xuan chewed and ate again, and opened his mouth to ask for it, He Angelica threw another lychee leaf into it.

Meng Xuan finished eating again, and this time it was his son's bottle mouth that was stuffed into his mouth.

The one next to him coughed lightly, in line with the sage's instructions, don't look at incivility. The scene of Childe spoiling the princess has become commonplace in Red Bean Villa.

At this time, the two crying tired in the cradle finally gained a moment of attention, and Pomegranate pushed the large cradle to the outer courtyard to find a nurse to take care of.

Yi Yu reported to Meng Xuan: "In this year's martial arts examination, you and Duan Hou are both popular candidates, but they will both be absent when they participate in the fifth examination, and the vacant places will be filled by General Chang." It is said that he fell in love with the reward weapon after the lift, and he fought it in one go, and finally accidentally got a triple slam. The emperor wanted him to take over the defense of the capital, but the head of Wudang Mountain also wanted him to be his successor, and he was in a dilemma. ”

He Angelica looked at Meng Xuan and asked curiously: "Since you have already participated, why did you quit halfway?" ”

Meng Xuan smiled and said: "My father reported my name, and when I met Duan Xiaolou in the fifth game, I said in my heart, I robbed his sweetheart in the past, and this martial champion will be given to him." Plus I miss you at night, I can't sleep without you, and I ride back all night. As for the reason for Duan Xiaolou's absence, he probably doesn't want to fight with me, the name of Wu Zhuangyuan falls on Chang Nuo's head, and it is well deserved. ”

He Angelica was angry, and smashed his mouth with a lychee, what is "it is difficult to sleep without you", please note that there are more than two of them present!

Yi Yi coughed and continued to report: "In the liberal arts and sciences, the master also registered for the ninth prince and the tenth prince, the ninth prince Meng Lin won the list, and the saint praised it. ”

"Really? That's exciting! He Angelica smiled.

Meng Xuan asked curiously: "Miss Liao hasn't married the third brother yet, and the third brother has dismissed the rest of the concubines, where did he come from?" ”

He Angelica swept the other news in Qing'er's letter at a glance.

For example, the trilogy of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Romeo and Juliet, Liang Shanbo and Romeo", which is newly rehearsed by the Qing'er Theater Troupe, invited a small guy with acting talent to play the big guy, and it was very popular.

For example, Qing'er opened a pharmacy Baicaotang in the name of He Angelica's miracle doctor, but unexpectedly, people who were looking for a miracle doctor came one after another, and Qing'er hung out a sign of "one diagnosis every three days", and used the flying pigeon to pass the book to let He Angelica remotely treat those incurable diseases. Who knows that some people rely on their identities to ask for a green channel.

The emperor's aunt, Princess Lin'an, had a black mole on her waist and named He Angelica to come to the door for medical treatment. The Zhao family of the Luo family, as He Angelica's eldest aunt, asked to eradicate thirst. Qing'er could only shrug her shoulders and say no to them.

There are also some irrelevant news, such as Guan Lin, the young lady of Guanfu, who went to Changbai Mountain with a big belly, tied the knot with Luo Baihe, the second young master of Luo, and gave birth to a daughter, and her eyebrows have the same cinnabar points as He Angelica.

For example, Sanqingtang regained the official medicine errand, but was exposed by Mrs. Guan's Song Zhihua, and the Luo family took in Luo Baiqiong, who escaped during the funeral of the first emperor, and after verifying the truth, Luo Baiqiong still could not escape death, and the official medicine was returned to the hands of Guan Jiarenshutang. Even, the entire Guan family has fallen into the hands of Song Zhihua alone, because Master Guan and Guan Bai were both accused of murdering Prince Yiwen and sent to the prison for life.

However, the good luck soon left, the young son left by Guan Bai died of illness, the patriarch of the Guan family forcibly confiscated the family property into the clan, and Song Zhihua lived on the streets.

At this point, the Yangzhou Guan family withdrew from everyone's sight, and the big house after the Luo family split became more and more sluggish, and they arrived at the mansion and moved into the courtyard, except for Luo Chuanbai and Zhao, only Luo Baiying was left with the young one. Dong went back to his mother's house in Fuzhou two years ago, and now he has remarried, and his youngest daughter Luo Shiyan has been left behind and has no one to take care of her.

After reading it, He Angelica smiled at Meng Xuan and said: "Qing'er is just playful, I heard that Bai Yangbai's 'Immortal Research Institute' is very curious, so I went to stay for two days to observe and study, not to live for a long time." Meng Ying is too unconfident in herself, Qing'er's little girl, no matter how easy it is to chase, a silver ticket and a roast duck can attract her attention. ”

Meng Xuan hurriedly asked, "What about you, what attracts you the most?" ”

"Poison, poison powder, poison sand."

"Forget it, when I didn't ask." Meng Xuan touched his nose in a gray manner.

He Angelica turned his head and asked: "The ninth brother is the leader, so who is the new champion of this year?" ”

"Sun Xuan is the tenth brother of the great Sima Sun Lin."

He Angelica was surprised: "Their Sun family was born in business, but they were really taken care of by Wenqu Xing, and there was a glorious ancestor Sun Yanbin in front of him, and now there is Sun Xuan." ”

Meng Xuan smiled indifferently and said: "This champion position was also given up by the ninth brother, and he left before the final hall test, because I heard that my grandmother choked while eating, and the situation was serious and I asked for a doctor." The emperor knew that Houzan praised the filial piety of the ninth brother, so he kept the original results and clicked the list, otherwise he would be the champion. But that's fine, the champions are generally admitted to universities and provinces, and cannot be sent to Lingnan. ”

Yi Yu said: "He Junhao was selected by the Son of Heaven, and he praised him for his wonderful writing. And then there's ...... The old lady of the He family died after lying in bed for half a year, the cause of death is unknown, the old lady of the He family is now half-crazy, and the family is still headed by the Zeng family. That He Junhao is so capable, his sister's face is disfigured, but he got a woman who looks the same as his sister to marry into the Sun Mansion, and successfully married. ”

He Angelica lowered his eyes and meditated.

Meng Xuan smiled and persuaded: "Why worry about these little things, if you can't get used to He Junhao, let him disappear from the world tomorrow for your husband." If you feel sorry for the dead, let's set up a land and water dojo to surpass them. ”

He Angelica shook his head: "It's not, I just talked for a long time, and I remembered that I hadn't used my lunch yet, and I was a little hungry." ”

"What? Didn't eat lunch? It's almost time for dinner! Meng Xuan glared at Yi Yi angrily, and shouted, "Steward Yi, General Ben asked you to take care of the house, you can't even manage the kitchen?" Military law disposal, run a thousand laps around the villa! ”

Bright face.

1. 1,000 laps...... Childe has broken the record again! Even if the internal force is strong and you can't run to death, you will get dizzy if you turn around too much!

He Angelica hurriedly argued: "It has nothing to do with Yiyi, and it has nothing to do with the kitchen, it's me...... It seems that I am happy again so I have a bad appetite, I am willing to eat only when I see you, you accompany me to have lunch and then dinner, okay? "It's hard to be coquettish, and sure enough, coquettish is not something that ordinary people can do well.

The first part of this remark surprised and delighted Meng Xuan, and the latter part greatly pleased him, so the punishment of running circles was put on hold and went down to arrange the dishes.

"Are you willing to eat until you see me...... Meng Xuan thought deeply, "It seems that you have to find the fourth uncle to learn the doppelganger technique, and leave a doppelganger for the lady to watch the next meal......"

He Angelica black line, that sentence, she really just said it casually.

The kitchen stove is on fire, delivering food under the grapevine trellis at a magical speed, and in the blink of an eye, a colorful table is set up, with an enticing aroma that will make your mouth flutter.

Meng Xuan slapped his palm on He Angelica's waist, firmly believing that she had lost five pounds of hunger and wanted to eat something good to make up for it. As soon as the dishes were served, Meng Xuan said with a smile while distributing the vegetables: "Champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, we have to have three sons to get it back, so we have to work hard a few more times." ”

"It's not hard, you're the hardest, Xianggong, please eat all the dishes here." He Angelica frowned in distress, gently pushed the rice bowl, and moved Jiangdong.

"Does the lady think I'm hard?" Meng Xuan asked.

"Well, the dish will be served to you."

"Then ...... tonight"

"Ah-I'm pregnant, Meng Xuan, you're not endless, can you moderate yourself!" He Angelica's scream was raised, and it immediately attracted all the maids and grandmothers who came back from Queqiao.

Meng Xuan lowered his head and laughed, and whispered to add the unfinished words: "Help me get two stitches tonight to relieve my fatigue - that's what I'm going to say, lady." ”
