When Mu Yangling and Li Jinghua returned to Qi Mansion, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although they served delicious food and drink in the palace, and there was no problem in terms of safety, it was very tiring to talk to the queen and the concubines in the harem. I lost a lot of weight in a month.
Li Jinghua saw that Mu Yangling was also relieved, and smiled: "I'll ask the kitchen to cook something delicious, and our sister-in-law will get together in the evening."
Wang Ma hurried over and said with a smile: "The eldest grandmother, the fourth grandmother, just sent a message from the East House, saying that the wife asked someone to prepare a meal, and they want the family to have a reunion dinner in the evening."
Mu Yangling and Li Jinghua looked at each other, knowing that Qi Feng was mostly going to ask them about the situation in their palace, so they reluctantly agreed.
Mu Yangling was about to leave when Xiaobao stumbled out, hugged her calf, raised his head and said pitifully, "Auntie, bear."
Mu Yangling had a black face and said with a stern face: "Your brother is asleep and can't play with you."
When these two children get together, nothing good will happen. Every time they play, they forget to eat, drink and lasa. In the end, they either can't help but lax on the spot, or they are so hungry that they cry. She doesn't know what to do. Can't say a few words, the other can't even sit still, but he can speak to the quack, and it takes a long time to talk, without getting bored.
Li Jinghua obviously also thought of the great achievements of the two, and hurriedly grabbed Xiaobao and persuaded: "My brother is asleep, you are going to take a nap too. When you wake up, let's go and play with your brother, okay?"
Xiaobao said with moist eyes, "sleep with Xiong Xiong."
He grabbed Mu Yangling's calf tightly, no matter how much Li Jinghua pulled it, she couldn't pull it, and she didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting the child, so in the end she had no choice but to say, "A Ling, you should carry him over and let them go. The brothers slept together and told the nurse to be tougher, and when it was time, they would pick them up to breastfeed and urinate, but they couldn't be used to them anymore."
Mu Yangling could only agree, pick up Xiaobao and go to Zhaohua Courtyard.
My son was sleeping, and he occupied half of the bed with his hands and feet spread out. A thin quilt was covering his stomach, and he slept soundly.
Xiaobao stopped his voice when he saw it when he entered the door. After being put on the bed by the fourth aunt, he lay gently beside him, and honestly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Mu Yangling looked funny, covered him with a small quilt, patted him softly, and whispered: "Good baby, go to sleep."
Xiaobao originally wanted to pretend to fall asleep and get up after the fourth aunt left, but he couldn't help falling asleep gradually under the soft voice of the fourth aunt.
Mu Yangling saw that he was fast asleep, so he got up and left, and let the nurse stay in the room.
Lichun was sorting out the things they took out of the palace. During that time, the emperor and the queen gave them a lot of things in order to appease them. They were all good things with high ornamental value or collection value. But Mu Yangling obviously prefers this.
She asked Lichun to make a register, and then put the items into their small warehouse. Gu Yu whispered, "I wonder if the Dongfu side will come and ask for it."
Mu Yangling raised her brows slightly, and Gu Yu whispered, "Fourth grandma didn't know, after you and the eldest grandma entered the palace, the aunts from the east mansion often came here to borrow things, fortunately, as soon as you entered the palace, Wang Mom locked all the valuables in the warehouse and said that you took the key away, so that's why..."
"The Qi Mansion is not short of money," Mu Yangling muttered, "Why does the Wu family seem to have fallen into the eyes of money."
Gu Yu pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "It should be that the uncle and the fourth master are not short of money. The fourth grandmother is naturally not aware of the fact that the manor is not that rich. The master is only a fourth-grade imperial censor, and he does not have much salary. There are not many fields, and the filial piety below is incomparable to that of the Sixth Division. If you need to support the family, there will not be much left. If you think about it seriously, the fields in the house are not as many as those of the fourth grandmother in the suburbs of Beijing."
Mu Yangling was stunned, "How did you know these things?"
She is the master, Gu Yu actually knows everything she doesn't know?
Gu Yu bowed his head embarrassedly, and said cowardly, "After the grandmothers went to the palace, the girls in our two courtyards were assigned to various places to fight, and the slaves were assigned to the big kitchen, where there are many people coming and going. It's the old man in the house, plus the frequent shopping and shopping, the more you listen to it, the more you will know."
This is the talent who collects information, Mu Yangling looked at Gu Yu and sighed.
Mu Yangling decided to turn around and tell Wang Ma that he must focus on cultivating Gu Yu, which will definitely be useful in the future.
Mu Yangling nodded and said: "I know about this, the things are put away, and they don't know what we have when we come back. If we really come and ask for it, it's okay for us to give one or two pieces."
As long as it doesn't touch her bottom line, she doesn't mind comforting each other.
But Qi Feng didn't ask about it. At the dinner table, he just asked them about their situation in the palace, what the queen said when they left the palace, and inquired about Qi Xiuyuan's brothers.
Qi Feng was also very helpless. He didn't want to ask about his daughter-in-law and his sons, but the key point was that the letters the eldest and the fourth wrote to him were just simple greetings, not a single word of value, and their father-son relationship had long since been The indifference has deteriorated to this point, even if he can pull his face to ask, they may not answer, so Qi Feng simply does not pull that face.
But he didn't get any news from Li Jinghua and Mu Yangling. He knew what they both knew, even he knew more than them, but they both looked a little dazed, and Li Jinghua also said , "The uncle rarely tells me about the outside world. The letters are all asking me to raise Xiaobao well, be filial to my parents-in-law, and the rest is to let me live in the capital with peace of mind and listen to the arrangements of the imperial court."
Qi Feng looked at Mu Yangling, Mu Yangling hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, you know, I don't know much, and I don't know much. Most of the letters written by the fourth master to me are about the scenery and customs along the way, and rarely involve Military, or should I bring the letter to my father-in-law?"
Qi Feng's face darkened, so he wouldn't read his daughter-in-law's letter, and he hated the fourth child in his heart. Day by day, a letter was sent back, and he thought they were talking about something big, it was simply a waste of resources and a waste of resources.
Qi Feng was indignant, and the meal was extremely dull. For his two grandsons, Qi Feng only looked up and praised, very smart, and then he stopped.
Li Jinghua frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied in her heart. She turned her head and glanced at Qi Shaosheng's eldest son, Qi Ming. Seeing that he was snuggling next to Wu's, he ran to Qi Feng's side and raised his head to act coquettishly with him, and was even more displeased.
Mu Yangling felt that Li Jinghua's mood was not right, although she still smiled decently, but she just felt that something was wrong, so she was not in the mood, she got up and took the opportunity to leave when she saw Xiaoxiong yawning.
When walked out of the main courtyard and they were the only ones on the road, Mu Yangling asked curiously, "What's wrong with my sister-in-law?"
"There is no distinction between father-in-law and son-in-law, and he pays too much attention to the second uncle's child. Instead, he throws Xiaobao aside. If this is in an ordinary family's home, it is the root of the chaos."
