Chapter 264: Between Mother and Son
It's summer in a blink of an eye, the twins of Lingxiao Inn are one year old, on the day of their birthday, the family is holding on to the two little dolls, and between the golden jewels on the ground, Ji'er took a knife, and Fei'er grabbed the pen and happily crawled to Xiaowan and handed it to her.
Where did Pei'er remember what she had caught, but she asked a few adults, and they all answered very vaguely, and even Ling Chaofeng didn't remember much.
The little brother pouted and sat on the side, Xiaowan coaxed the two younger brothers and sisters to tease the elder brother, Pei'er coquettishly said that he would catch it again, and then crawled over, put the jewelry in his pocket, took a small bow, and dragged an abacus, making the adults cry and laugh.
His younger brothers and sisters were also happy, crawling over to mix things up, Xiaowan could only forcibly take away the valuable things, and they would play with the rest.
As soon as the children's birthdays passed, the family handed over the inn to Daqing and Susu, and immediately left for Beijing, and hurried to the capital.
Aunt Zhang sighed: "I finally caught up, and asked me to say that spring should come, but unfortunately your brother and your sister-in-law are busy in spring and can't leave." ”
The pregnant woman became more and more gentle, and Lian Yi smiled happily: "I'm not in a hurry at all, I know you will definitely come." ”
But as soon as there were many people in the family, the house seemed cramped, and the old lady lived in the most spacious room here, so she took the initiative to go to Zhenye Mansion to live for a few days.
Xiaowan apologized that they were coming, but drove the old lady away. The old lady has been listening to Lian Yi and the county lord talking about a little night, and she likes it in her heart, but now she feels even more delicate and cute when she sees it, and she says that it will not hinder her, and invites her to go to the county lord's mansion to play for a few days.
After the family settled, Ling Chaofeng told him to continue to be busy with his own affairs and not care about them, naturally Ling Chaofeng also had something to deal with.
When the brothers were idle, Ling Chaofeng took his younger brother to Beijing to see a few houses, and if they had more children in a few years, the family would really not be able to live.
After resting for two days, Xiaowan and the children were relieved, she got up early that day, talked and laughed with Xianggong and had breakfast, and then sent him out to run errands.
After the Xianggong left, standing in front of the door, Xiaowan looked at the direction of the palace that Lian Yi told her, where you can see the corner of the imperial city gate, over the high wall, it is said that it is a fairyland-like place in the world, where the beautiful queen lives there.
There was one thing that Xiaowan had always kept in her heart, and before she mentioned it to Ling Chaofeng, the moment they stepped into the capital, she had a strange feeling in her heart.
She had never been to the capital, but everything she saw in front of her seemed familiar.
When I first got married, I felt familiar with everything for a while, and then I nursed the children day and night, and I didn't have time to think about it, this feeling was really a long time away, and sure enough, now I was a little free, and I began to think about it again.
"How could I have ever been to the capital?" Xiao Wanwu muttered to herself and laughed.
"Mother......" I could only hear Pei'er's voice, and the little guy ran in a panic in his bedclothes, "Grandma said that Auntie is going to give birth, looking for you." ”
Xiao Wan was startled and hurriedly ran back with her son.
Lian Yi is about to give birth, but Ershan went to the court, although he can't give birth for a while, but her husband is not around, so she should be so scared.
Aunt Zhang was familiar with this family, so she ordered the county lord to go to the county lord's mansion to inform the old lady, and implored the county lord to think of a son and send news to the palace.
However, no one could disturb the affairs of the court, but as soon as the court meeting dispersed, Ershan walked out of the door, and was hurriedly asked away by the little eunuch, saying that his wife was about to give birth.
When he rushed home, everything in front of him was in order, and sure enough, when the family came, he had something to rely on, and his heart must have strode into the delivery room.
In the deep palace, the county lord entered the palace to ask the empress dowager and the queen to say goodbye, and heard Qing'er say that Ling Chu's wife was about to give birth, and the queen ordered the palace people to prepare some rewards and ask Qing'er to take them out.
Qing'er said with a smile: "When Meng Lianyi is better, I will take her into the palace to thank her." ”
Ruyan said: "Don't be grateful, just say that she has worked hard." After thinking about it, he asked, "How long has the shopkeeper Ling's family been in the capital, I really want to see Xiaowan and her children." ”
Qing'er immediately agreed: "I'll come to Zhang Luo, Niangniang, you wait a few days, this time the family is busy." ”
Lian Yi gave birth at the beginning, very hard, in the anxious waiting of the family, a female doll came to the world smoothly, the loud cry brought joy to her elders, Ershan did not see his wife and children, he cried outside the door.
The old lady had already come, holding the hands of the maidservants into the door, and when she came to the bedside to see Lian Yi asleep, she took her great-granddaughter from the arms of the midwife, and the old man burst into tears, and couldn't help but say to Ershan, if his mother was still alive, how happy she should be to be a grandmother.
But seeing the family members from the inn surrounding Ershan and Lian Yi, the old lady understood in her heart that the blessing of the little grandson was destined to no longer be Bi's family, she originally hoped that if Lian Yi gave birth to a daughter, the little great-granddaughter could follow the surname Bi, but at this moment, the words came to her lips and she still swallowed.
But to her surprise, her grandchildren and daughter-in-law said that although the child should have the surname Ling, in the name, it is from the generation of the Bifu family tree, and she asked her grandmother to give the child a name, and she is also the eldest sister of the Bi family's great-grandchildren.
So everyone rejoiced, and everybody rejoiced.
Lian Yi's mother and daughter are safe, the family has spent the most hectic day, and after taking care of her in the next days, Xiaowan will go home.
So after a few days of leisure, she waited for Ling Chaofeng to go home, and then Xianggong would take her and Pei'er to a few schools in the capital to have a look.
The little guy thought it was fun at first, and he came out to play with him, but when he heard that his mother was going to leave him in the capital to study, he immediately cried like something.
Ling Chaofeng used fierceness, Xiaowan used coaxing, it didn't work, and when she got home, Aunt Zhang also knew, and reprimanded them with a tiger face, saying that how could the children leave their parents and make them die.
The matter of finding a school for Pei'er was so unsmooth, Xiaowan was very discouraged and didn't say anything to her family, so she returned to the room early this day and coaxed Fei'er Ji'er to sleep.
And Pei'er was so sad that she followed Aunt Zhang and refused to pay attention to her today, Xiaowan felt as if she had made a big mistake to her son.
Before going to bed at home, Ling Chaofeng came to Aunt Zhang's house to look at Pei'er, the little guy was still smoking in his sleep, today is really sad, Aunt Zhang asked Ling Chaofeng in front of the door: "Is this your idea, or Xiaowan's idea?" ”
Ling Chaofeng responded: "Both." ”
Aunt Zhang sighed: "Let me see, eighty percent is a little late, she is afraid that she is not good enough for Pei'er, and she wants to give anything good to the child." The school in the capital is stronger than the one in our town, but isn't Ershan also promising, his brother learned in the capital, and he is not better than him. Chaofeng, you can persuade Xiaowan well, she has three children, all of them are so worried and desperate, and if she doesn't say anything else, her body won't be able to eat it first. ”
Ling Chaofeng responded, and the hard aunt helped take care of Pei'er, and walked under the porch when he returned to the room, and Ershan had just returned home after being busy. He smiled faintly: "Lord Ling has worked hard. ”
Ershan smirked, in front of his brother, what kind of adult is he.
The brothers sat under the porch, the servant brought a pot of wine, Ershan poured wine for his brother, and the cold plum wine went down to his stomach, and the heat disappeared immediately.
Ershan said: "Don't worry about changing the house, brother, I can't always use your money, I will save my own money, and I will have money in a few years." ”
Ling Chaofeng said: "You don't need the money of the Bi family is the backbone, and you don't need the money of the inn is stupid, the money for you to marry your daughter-in-law and start a family was arranged for you before your mother died, since you adopted you, you naturally have to take care of it to the end, I just handed over the money to you for her." In the future, there will be more children, the official will be bigger, there will be guests at home, and the children will have a place to read and play. ”
"Yes." Ershan responded, in front of his brother, he didn't have to be strong, he poured wine for Ling Chaofeng again, and felt that his brother had something on his mind, so he asked, "Brother's errand, isn't it easy to do?" ”
"Those things are very simple, I'm thinking about your sister-in-law and Pei'er......" Ling Chaofeng smiled faintly and shook the wine in the glass, "Actually, it's also a trivial matter, but why are small things in my heart more important than anything else, it makes me worry for a long time." ”
Ershan smiled: "Brother, I understand this feeling." ”
Ling Chaofeng said angrily: "What do you know? ”
At this time, I heard the door of the opposite house open, and the house was not large, and I could see it all at a glance. It was Xiaowan who was worried about why Xianggong didn't come back, so she went out to take a look, and when she saw the brothers and sons sitting and drinking under the porch, she smiled and went back to the room.
But it didn't take long for Xianggong to come back, and Xiaowan said: "You and Ershan continue to drink, I'm fine here, just take a look at you." ”
She brought a fan, unbuttoned her husband's shirt and gently fanned him, Ling Chaofeng leaned comfortably on the couch, but took the fan from Xiaowan's hand, and in turn drove her away.
"I'm not hot." Xiaowan said, "Pei'er is not around today, and I don't sweat on my body." ”
But when she said this, she felt guilty in her heart, as if her son was a burden, was she impatient?
Ling Chaofeng gently stroked Xiao Wanneen's cold skin, and said gently: "Wanwan, are you too careful?" I was a little conflicted a while ago, but then I figured it out, as long as you are happy, no matter how hard you work for Pei'er, I will not stop you, because you are happy. But you see, you've been frowning today, what's the matter, have you worked hard and still owe that little thing? ”
Xiao Wan smiled innocently: "Have I been frowning today?" ”
Ling Chaofeng nodded: "After Pei'er started crying, you weren't happy, Wanwan, you take him too seriously, why should you be so careful between mother and son, my mother beat me half to death in the past, and I didn't see her worrying that I don't want her anymore, so I should do whatever I want." You care too much about Pei'er's feelings, you are tired, and he doesn't necessarily appreciate it. ”
Xiaowan lowered her eyes: "I don't know what's wrong with me." ”
Ling Chaofeng asked: "Apart from the child's business, Wanwan, do you have anything you want to do?" ”
Xiao Wan came to the spirit, and smiled crookedly: "Yes, I want to learn the piano." But ......"
The expression on her face suddenly darkened a little, and she stretched out a pair of hands, the hands that had been working and frozen, the thick joints were very incommensurate with the skin that had already become delicate, and she asked inferiorly: "Xianggong, can I still learn?" ”
