The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 321
[321. Chapter 321 Family Affairs]
After another two months, the once-stunning Xiangyiguan has now changed its owner and changed its business to an oil mill. Of the two remaining ready-to-wear shops on Yuqian Street, apart from Jiahefang, the most surprising one was the last tailor’s shop that opened diagonally across from Jiahefang. Although the business was extremely bleak, it was very reluctant to maintain.
No one knows that this shop, which may not even attract 20 or 30 customers every month, is actually the same person behind the owner, the owner of Jiahefang, who is booming in business – the well-known “Mrs. Mujin” .
From September to September, the climate in the north is changeable. Morning and evening are dry and cold, with occasional light snow. At this time, you need to put on a thick jacket, and add a cloak outside to withstand the cold. Because of this, the earth dragon burned in Mu Xiyao’s house, and he got up half an hour later than before.
The two little ones in the family are well taken care of. Not only did he move to live in the east wing closer to the main house, but he also specially made warm clothes with newly delivered cotton fur. At this time, in the Northland, if you can use Dilong, it is only the very wealthy people who can afford this expense. This seemingly inconspicuous little courtyard, Mu Xiyao, is actually extravagant everywhere. The house that His Highness Sixth Highness prepared for her mother and son was something that ordinary people could compare with.
When it was around noon, the hot sun inside and outside the house shone, so I had to quickly take off my coat, leaving only the light autumn clothes inside, otherwise there would be a dense layer of fine sweat on the back within a quarter of an hour.
In the main courtyard in the west of the city, Mu Xiyao was busy in the small kitchen asking people to pick up the game that Zong Zhenglin had brought out.
Needless to say, Mrs. Lei made up her mind to settle in Jiahefang. The other shopkeeper, in addition to worrying about the closure of the clothing store at first, would be told by the master to close the door and leave. After arriving, Mu Xiyao found him and replied, and then she went back to work at ease.
Should the shop be closed down? Not necessarily. With such a comparison between the two on the same street, who can not see the benefits of Jiahefang? Besides, there is a ready-made example of a deterrent, but a real one. With this shop that only needs to subsidize twenty taels of silver per month at most, Jiahefang’s business will only become more and more prosperous.
“Master, Your Highness beat this wild deer, it should be the head of the deer herd. Look at these horns, long and thick, it looks taller and more powerful than the next one, and it is a stag, it must be the leader. Yes. According to the young man, His Highness’s arrow technique is really good. One arrow can shoot through the head. If this person is replaced, it will not be thousands of miles away to take the enemy’s head?”
Qiang San’er was originally honest , I studied with Tian Fushan for a while before leaving Beijing. When I arrived in the Northland, I slowly started to get started, and now I am more and more able to speak, and my servants also have their own prestige.
Mu Xiyao pursed her lips and smiled, letting him brag to Zong Zhenglin. This sly, knowing that the Sixth Highness is coming back, he chose to say festive words in front of her.
Now the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army has ordered the army to retreat to Moganling for the time being, and will continue to move forward in October. At that time, the temperature dropped sharply, and the barbarians in the Mobei would have no food and grass, which was the perfect time for the siege.
Taking advantage of this gap, the commanders of the various cavalry armies ordered to surround and hunt in the nearest enclosure. First, it happened to train troops, so as not to let the soldiers slack off; secondly, when the game was hunted, Da Wei took it all away, leaving less food for Mobei for the winter.
The Mobei people are not stupid. Seeing that the Great Wei can’t be attacked, they want to siege and destroy them, and they also launch secret raids many times. It’s a pity that the number of cavalry is not dominant in the end. Before the pass, he met Da Wei and set up a chariot and arrow formation early, so he had to avoid its edge and did not make any achievements. After several trials, Mobei’s military strength has been adjusted and gradually reduced to zero, intending to bypass the enemy’s pass, and small forces interspersed and penetrated, and must not be trapped in the border city for life and death.
When the situation changed, Zong Zhenglin was entrusted most of the time. Occasionally, when I go back to the mansion, I only stay for three or two days. Even in this short period of time, there are always military reports from time to time.
Mu Xiyao saw that he was really working hard, and he was also very careful in daily care. Whether it was watching someone make a cotton-padded coat, or hand-curing jerky and handing it over to Wei Zhen, Zong Zhenglin’s heart felt extremely soft.
It is rare to see her showing a demure look of housekeeping. A squeamish woman who speaks softly and softly. He leaned over and folded his shirt and gathered in front of him, his little face was rosy and ruddy, making people busy. Like this, Zong Zhenglin loves it very much.
That’s why His Royal Highness, whenever he is in the mansion, has a softer expression than the outside world. In this regard, the Sarina Rin sisters are particularly aware. Even their leader, I am afraid that seeing His Highness’s good face is not as many times as them.
In the small kitchen, Mu Xiyao raised her eyebrows and scolded, “Hurry up and pack up. Your Highness will go back to the house later, and your concubine will ask for money from the master for you. So that your hard work will not be wasted in vain.” Qiang San’er The neck shrank, and the rush of slapping the horse just now subsided immediately, and he smiled back to please, and hurriedly shouted loudly for the deer to be carried to the yard for shaving and bloodletting.
Not to mention asking for rewards, staying in the presence of His Highness for a moment, he felt his legs and feet were weak. I don’t know how the master managed to please His Royal Highness, and there are still laughter coming out when staying in one place.
Zong Zhenglin had just returned to the mansion, and he was very surprised that he didn’t see that familiar figure outside the second door. When he entered the main house, he saw his son Chengqing, a little one, lying pitifully on the edge of the bed, stretching his neck and tiptoe to look around, while wiping his eyes aggrievedly.
Chengyou sat cross-legged on the couch, hoarse voice whimpering, the tip of his nose was red, and he called his mother in a milky voice. The boy who just learned to call people simply, now it’s not vague to call people a little bit. The index finger of the left hand was being held in Mu Xiyao’s hand and looked carefully.
“What’s going on?” Zong Zhenglin took off the cloak and handed it to Naren, stepped over to the couch and patted the head of the eldest son who was ignored, hugged him in his arms, and sat down beside Mu Xiyao.
“His Royal Highness.” Mu Xiyao had a surprise in his eyes, and immediately pouted and complained to Zong Zhenglin. “Your son was naughty and caught ants to play with. Seeing that my brother was alone in the walker, I was afraid that he would be boring, so I put a few of them in the little guy’s hands and planned to play with him.”
Pulling up Chengyou’s index finger and bringing it in front of Zong Zhenglin, Bai Shengsheng’s chubby finger was red and swollen like a lump. With a little touch, Chengyou was so painful that she burst into tears.
The little guy was bitten by an ant, and immediately let go of his throat and cried. Surprised, Mu Xiyao, who was still on her lunch break, hurried over. When I asked this question, I realized that it was Chengqing’s naughty who caused the trouble.
When my son is in pain, it is natural for me to be distressed. After asking Mu Xiyao, Zong Zhenglin patted Chengqing’s head when he learned that someone had been sent to invite a doctor. “Do you know what’s wrong?” The
little guy was lying on his chest obediently, and was so frightened by Mu Xiyao’s sullen face that he curled up his small body and did not dare to look up at his mother. He only grabbed the front of his shirt and said in a weeping voice, “It’s Chengqing’s fault.”
After all, the little guy is young, so begging for mercy like this is always hard to resist. This is especially true of the Sixth Highness.
Looking at this situation again, it is very familiar. It was the little woman who murdered his son again. Zong Zhenglin gave her a deep look and sighed helplessly. “Just talk to him well, why would you kill him.”
Hey, at this time, do you know that you need to talk well and not lose your temper? Your son is treasure, and your concubine is grass? When the concubine “made a mistake”, how could I not see you being so reasonable.
Angrily glanced at him, and Mu Xiyao appeased Chengyou and asked the culprit.
“I said to myself that at that time, my mother was dissuaded. Who was the one who shouted aggressively and asked my father to punish my mother and Aunt Qingya for being slapped outside? I don’t know what is right and wrong at a young age. Don’t talk. Mother taught Chengqing like this on weekdays?” Along with the
godson, Mu Xiyao has always been strict. Pay special attention to your son’s habits.
“What’s wrong with Chengqing today?” The
little guy secretly raised his head, with his father behind him, he was more courageous. “You shouldn’t play with ants.” What’s
wrong here? Mu Xiyao’s eyes narrowed. “No?” In the family of children, who doesn’t have a naughty time. Not to mention boys, it is not uncommon for girls to be noisy when they are young. Little Thing obviously didn’t realize where he was going so wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, Chengqing Bun was not sure about opening his mouth. “You shouldn’t play ants for your brother.”
It was barely the same thing. Mu Xiyao’s face softened a little. “What else? Think about it again.”
This time, he frowned and thought for a long time with his fingers hooked, but the little guy was silent.
Mu Xiyao rolled his eyes at the man who was sitting peacefully on his side. That means, his son’s mistakes today are what he is used to. If it wasn’t for Zong Zhenglin’s repeated protection, she would have packed up the little things properly.
The little buns also had troubles before, but they were all naughty children, so he was. This time, it was different. She actually flicked the palm of Madam Gui’s hand away, and shouted that she was going to hit the board? That’s pretty cool!
If you beat anyone, you can’t beat yourself unreasonably. Mu Yaonu firmly disagreed. There is nothing good in the nest.
After listening to the mother and son’s two questions, Zong Zhenglin’s eyes flashed with a heavy look. Looking down, seeing Cheng Qing’s mouth pouting and wanting to cry, he finally reached out to stop Mu Xiyao’s lesson.
“Jiaojiao, don’t be in a hurry. After this hall has taught my son, I will ask him to come and confess to you.” Then he reached out and stroked Chengyou’s hair, comforting the younger son. After that, he got up and took Chengqing to the outside world.
This did not stop the man from doting on his son. Mu Xiyao was discouraged.
At this time, she strangely gave birth to a complaint that many people had in their hearts. The Sixth Highness’s protection of short-term care is really boundless. Others are unwilling to do so, the reason is her. And she was because of her own kid.
After the doctor and Chengyou looked at the wound, prescribed a prescription and rubbed the concoction, the little guy really improved, and the choking slowly subsided. As if she was tired from crying, her eyes blinked, and she was about to fall asleep.
Mu Xiyao politely offered the reward, Zong Zhenglin gave Wei Zhen a wink outside, and the doctor was taken out by the servant dressed as a secret guard.
The situation of Mu Xiyao’s mother and son cannot be revealed at all. Dotted in secret, but can’t be ignored. When Zong Zhenglin turned around, he saw Mu Xiyao leaning against the door, looking at him with a full smile, his eyes were clear. In the past, I held her little hand, and the two of them were reflected in the setting sun, and they only felt harmonious and happy, and they were intimate.
