Chapter 298 The mouse met the cat

"You want me to promote him?"

"Yes, this is not considered forming a clique, and officials with good character should be recruited"

"Students will do this after the new year."

"If Chuan'er and Zihan are both selected as Scholars in the next year, it would be best to stay in the capital"

"Shouldn't they be sent down, wouldn't it be better to experience the sufferings of the local people first?"

"The capital city is a big dye vat. It is most suitable for them to learn to deal with all kinds of villains first, and then become magistrates. This is a kind of experience. After all, they have not had much contact with society and do not know the dangers of society."

"Sir said so."

"Well, it's okay, so don't stay with us. Your wife has been sleeping for almost a day, and it's time to wake up now."

"The student resigned"

When Yuan Jiaqi heard that the lady was about to wake up, he immediately ran back to Yuexian Pavilion. Sure enough, when he entered the room, he saw Qiao Mai drinking water.

"Lady, hey, you're awake, are you hungry?"

"A little bit, it's time for dinner, shall we eat together?"

"No, I can't be so hungry that my wife is hungry, you can tell me what you want to eat, and I will go to the kitchen for my husband."

"Cut a plate of sausages, I haven't eaten for a long time, and then a plate of boneless chicken claws, and you can figure out the rest"

"The lady wait a moment, my husband will be back soon."

This is a high-ranking high-ranking official. He takes care of his wife well, and he does it by himself. Everyone in the family is envious of this couple. They are really a typical model couple.

Now all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty know that Yuan Jiaqi is the one who got in the door backwards, because he immediately refused when people asked to come to his house.

The reason for the refusal was simple and rude. I was an intrusive son-in-law, and what I say at home doesn’t matter. Anyone who wants to come to my house as a guest must get my wife’s consent. He will never do what she refuses to do.

Not only did he know that he was the son-in-law, but he also knew that he was afraid of his own family, as afraid of his wife as a mouse seeing a cat.

At first they didn't believe it. Some people even asked the servants of Qiao's family to find out the truth.

Hearing that Mr. Yuan personally boiled water for the lady to take a bath, served tea and meals in person, as long as it was about the lady's affairs, she did it all by herself.

Now you have to believe it or not. Many people are itching to see the luxury of Jixiangyuan. Unfortunately, they have not been able to do so.

The only ones who have visited Jixiang Garden are Zhen Guogong’s family and Xiao’s family.

The future second daughter-in-law, Xiao Qingling, also fell in love with Qiao's house, and would come to live in Qiao's house for a few days if she had nothing to do, usually living in Ling'er's yard.

Qiao Mai doesn't care, and rarely appears in front of them, because he is afraid that they will not feel free.

Mr. Mu and her are good friends, they are quite talkative, they hang out in the garden together when they have nothing to do, sometimes they even go to the playground to play for a while like children.

Married here, Mrs. Mu has never felt restrained, and even feels more comfortable and at ease in her husband's house than in her mother's house.

Xiao Qingling also felt the same way. When she came here, she was able to see Yun'er for the first time. The two of them had nothing to talk about. The second is that living here is very comfortable.

Although she married soon, Qiao Mai has no taboos about this, and even told her that it is okay to live until the day she gets married.

However, she is not so thick-skinned. She will return to Xiao's house at the end of the year, and she probably won't come before she gets married.

Brother Fengyun is very satisfied with these two marriages, and he really respects Qiao Mai, his adoptive mother, from the bottom of his heart.

Treating their brothers with all their heart and soul, especially the marriage, it was done in a decent manner, a brother with 400,000 taels of silver, and he was impartial.

They have inquired, even in the capital, there are very few families who arrange marriages for their children.

In this life, they are very satisfied to be Qiao Mai's sons.

Mr. Mu's daughter-in-law can also be a daughter-in-law. Knowing that her mother-in-law is back, she has been waiting outside. If she was not afraid of disturbing her parents-in-law's love, she would have rushed in.

Seeing her father-in-law went to the kitchen, she immediately entered the room, saluted Qiao Mai, and sat opposite her.

"Mother,"

"The family has worked hard for you"

"It's not hard, I enjoy the happiness every day, don't mention how comfortable I am living today"

Qiao Mai glanced at her belly, "Hold out your hand"

Master Mu's eyes widened, and she stretched out her hand involuntarily, "Mother, are you good at medicine?"

"Recently, I have some experience in reading medical books, let me try it with you"

"Hee hee, just try, just try."

She obediently put her hands on the table, Qiao Mai took her pulse and stopped for a while.

"I'm going to be a mother, and I'm still in a hurry all day long,"

Mrs. Mu opened her mouth, "Dang, be a mother? What do you mean?"

"You are more than two months pregnant"

"Huh? Why don't I know"

"Your morning sickness reaction is pretty good,"

"Mother, am I really going to be a mother?"

"Yeah, pay more attention in the future, it doesn't matter how you toss yourself, you are going to be a mother, and a mother is strong, protecting your children is the most important thing you should do"

"Aha, I'm going to be a mother, that's great, mother, I'm going to tell my man the news,"

"Remember to find a doctor and give you a pulse."

"Yes, Mother"

Mu's temperament is like this, he came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

As the New Year approaches, this can be considered a happy event.

Feng'er was reading a book on the art of war in the room when he saw his wife rush into the room, grabbed his shoulders, and shook him vigorously.

"Sister-in-law, aha, my mother took my pulse just now, I am pregnant, your child, our baby, are you happy?"

Feng was stunned for a moment, then hugged her in his arms as ecstatically as her, and shed tears of joy.

"Great, I have a descendant, my Jiang family has a descendant, and my parents can finally rest in peace."

Ms. Mu was taken aback for a moment, she pushed Xianggong away, "Sanggong, do you still want to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan?"

"No, that's what I said. After all, my parents are watching from the sky. Although I am a member of the Qiao family now, I still have the blood of the Jiang family in my bones. This cannot be changed."

"Master, we must not be ungrateful"

"Don't worry, lady, there will never be that day"

Mrs. Mu glanced at Mr. Xiang with a strange look, then nodded slowly.

Mrs. Mu is pregnant, and the whole family is happy. Qiao Mai also concentrated on writing a recipe for pregnant women, and handed it to the cook in the kitchen, asking them to cook three meals a day for her. That's great.

When Zhen Guogong’s family heard about it, they immediately sent someone to send a heavy gift, as did the Xiao family. The expected date of delivery is early August, and soon the Qiao family will have another child.

While Qiao's family was enjoying themselves, Liu Yuyi, the owner of Mingren Medical Center in Beijing, walked back and forth in the living room of his home.

Standing beside his three sons, "I heard that Princess Mu is happy?"

"Yes, father, they didn't find the imperial doctor, they used the government doctor of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."

"Hmph, sooner or later they will beg me. When that day comes, I must let the Qiao family have a good taste of the consequences of offending my Liu family."

"Father, we have to wait until the year of the monkey, how about letting my son use some tricks?"

"You mean Princess Mu?"

"Yes"

Yuyi Liu gritted her molars, "Go ahead, do it cleanly, if you dare to destroy my Liu family's fortune, I will definitely not let her go."

In the dead of night, a shadow floated into the Jixiang Garden. As soon as he entered, he was spotted by the three sheep.

It was only one person at a glance, the eldest of the three sheep, let the two of them continue to squat, and it floated into the Tingfeng Pavilion following the shadow.

Before the shadow fell to the ground, the horns of the goat had already penetrated into the heart of the man in black.

The dead body on the head of the sheep boss came to Yuexian Pavilion. It stood in the courtyard and reported to the master with its thoughts.

"Master, I caught a big villain. After he came to our house, he headed towards Tingfeng Pavilion,"

At this time, Qiao Mai had already got up and came to the courtyard, looking at the man in black on top of it, he reached out and found a pack of medicine on him.

She opened the medicine bag and smelled it lightly, her face immediately darkened.

"Dog thing, actually came up with this idea."
