Chapter 1568: 873 to Please
Since Yuan Lingbai returned to Luoyue City from Xiye, he has temporarily lived in Fu Yunhe's mansion, and his life has been like a duck to water.
He also made a small contribution in Xiye this time, and received Xiao Yi's Jin title. Now he is one of the hundred generals in the Southern Border Army. He has been incorporated into the God Arm Army and is temporarily under Fu Yunhe.
Yuan Lingbai was overjoyed. He only thought that Xiao Yi was really his big brother, and the southern border was his world. So he ran to the barracks every day, thinking of his own little idea in his heart: my sister was going to marry in Luoyue City, and they all said that they were far away. The girl who married has worked hard. In order to support her younger sister, she simply found a girl in Luoyue City to marry, so that she could justifiably stay in the southern border like Xiaohezi!
Yuan Ling Bai Lei was thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and he planned to send a letter to his mother, Yun Cheng, to let him know.
On this afternoon, the sun was only slanting to the west, and Yuan Lingbai followed Fu Yunhe from the camp in Luoyue City and returned to Luoyue City together.
After their horses passed through the city gate, they galloped past the streets in the city. Suddenly, Fu Yunhe, who was in front of them, made a "squeak" and restrained the horse rope to slow down the horse's speed.
Yuan Lingbai, who was behind him, also slowed down. He was about to speak when he heard Fu Yunhe shouting with a smile, "Mother, Xia'er!" After speaking, Fu Yunhe quickly turned over and dismounted.
Only then did Yuan Lingbai see that outside a shop in front, Mrs. Fu was being supported by a maid, planning to get on the carriage. Han Qixia was standing beside Mrs. Fu. Behind them, five or six servants were holding a pile of gift boxes. Obviously, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had just bought something from the shop.
Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law looked in the direction of Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai, with expressions of joy on their faces.
Yuan Lingbai followed and dismounted, and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Fu and Han Qixia, "Aunt Cousin, Cousin Xia!" Yuan Lingbai clasped his fists, and unexpectedly found another familiar face beside him, he couldn't help but One more look.
I saw a girl in her twenties, wearing a pink robe with ten kinds of brocade makeup, standing on the other side of Mrs. Fu, holding a peony bun, and her appearance was so familiar.
Yuan Lingbai couldn't help but blurt out: "Mingyue!"
Qu Jiayue also saw Yuan Lingbai who was following behind Fu Yunhe, her eyes flashed and she remained calm.
After she came to Luoyue City, it was the first time she saw Yuan Lingbai. When she was in the capital, Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai were all unhappy dudes, just because they were right in the capital. Xiao Yi, now they are living a prosperous life with their backs to Xiao Yi in the southern border...
Really have to be convinced of the luck of some people!
Unlike her, you can only plan on your own!
"Cousin He, Cousin Bai." Qu Jiayue took a step forward, greeted the two of them casually, and explained with a smile, "My father is going back to Xiye soon, and I came out here today to buy him more. It’s good to take things to Xiye, but I didn’t expect to meet my cousin and cousin Xia in this shop by coincidence…”
"It's a coincidence." Fu Yunhe responded lightly and stopped talking.
Qu Jiayue didn't care, she looked at Yuan Lingbai again, and greeted him warmly, "Cousin Bai, did you just come back from Xiye with my father? I heard from my father that you were in Xiye. He has made military exploits and is now a hundred generals, congratulations to my cousin."
Yuan Lingbai casually said, "It's just a mere hundred generals." His attitude was also lukewarm.
Qu Jiayue's beautiful little face smiled even brighter, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she continued, "Cousin He, cousin Bai, and cousin Xia, we have grown up together since we were young. Thinking of being able to reunite in the southern border, this may be a kind of fate, why don't we go out for an outing together another day?"
Yuan Lingbai raised his brows slightly when he saw Qu Jiayue's warm and attentive smile. Although they are all relatives, they have met from time to time at various gatherings in the palace and the royal capital since they were children, but it is only a matter of face, and Qu Jiayue has never had much contact with them.
"Xiao Hezi and I have been busy with military affairs recently, so we won't join in the fun." Yuan Lingbai bluntly helped Fu Yunhe and refused.
Qu Jiayue's face froze, and the atmosphere around her was eerily silent for a moment. When everyone almost thought she was going to be angry and left, she laughed again, sighed "it's a pity", and then raised it to everyone as if nothing had happened. Saying goodbye, I got into a black-painted flat-top carriage.
Qu Jiayue's carriage flew towards the north of the city, and soon it was getting further and further away...
"Hey," Mrs. Fu suddenly sighed and said with emotion, "I haven't seen each other for so many years. She used to be a bit rude, but now she has become deeply thoughtful..."
Thinking of what Qu Jiayue has experienced over the years, Mrs. Fu also felt a little sigh in her heart.
Back then, Qu Jiayue was a shining pearl among the ladies in the royal capital, with dazzling brilliance. Who would have thought that she would serve two generations of the King of the West Night with her relatives... Also, Fu Yunhe, Han Qixia, Yuan Yuyi... Who would have thought that they would find their own piece of the world in this southern border!
For a moment, Mrs. Fu couldn't help but feel a feeling of recalling the past. She seemed to think of something, and then said: "He, Mingyue asked if you would go back to Xiye with her father..." Da Fu Madam was worried about Fu Yunhe and Han Qixia's newly married Yan'er, but if Fu Yunhe went to Xiye again and the couple separated from each other, what would it be? !
Fu Yunhe seemed to see Mrs. Fu's thoughts, took her by the shoulders, and comforted her softly: "Mother, don't worry, eldest brother told me to stay in Luoyue City."
Madam Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her son and daughter-in-law with softer eyes.
At this time, Yuan Lingbai smiled and said, "Aunt Cousin, have you bought all your specialties?" After saying that, Yuan Lingbai glanced at the gift boxes in the hands of the servants, and admired Mrs. Fu and her mother. The same level of purchasing power of Yuncheng, "If you have nothing else to do, just go to Bixiaotang with us to find the big brother for a meal, and I will drop by to see my sister."
Every time Mrs. Fu felt that the children Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai had grown up and assumed responsibility, the next moment she would be choked by their sudden inconsistency and speechless.
Look at what Yuan Lingbai said, "rubbing rice" is a serious business, "seeing my sister" is "by the way"!
Mrs. Fu wanted to train this stinky boy, but she didn't know where to start, so she could only say to herself, forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren. These idiots are also considered stupid.
Mrs. Fu originally wanted to say, let the children go to Bixiaotang by themselves, she will not join in the fun, but before she could say her words, she saw Fu Yunhe took out a piece of silk paper from the cuff and handed it over, saying: : "By the way, mother, at noon, my eldest brother sent someone to send me a letter, saying that Liu Niang entrusted someone from the palace to send it to Southern Border..."
A letter from Liu Niang from the capital? ! Madam Fu was instantly attracted, and she forgot what she was going to say. She eagerly accepted the letter, and then heard her son say, "Liu Niang said she has it!"
Liu Niang is pregnant? ! Madam Fu's eyes lit up, and so did Han Qixia. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help exchanging glances, feeling happy for Fu Yunyan.
Madam Fu hurriedly opened the silk paper, and Han Qixia also came over to read it. They had expected Fu Yunyan's letter to contain more information about her pregnancy, such as how many months she had been pregnant, and how she was... ...As a result, Fu Yunyan's letter only covered the matter in a single passage, but spent some time sighing about the recent ups and downs in the royal capital...
Madam Fu almost didn't even have the strength to sigh. Her daughter, it really broke her heart!
Madam Fu put away the letter and said helplessly, "Let's go, let's go to Bixiao Hall."
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got into the carriage, a group of carriages and horses galloped quickly in the direction of Bixiaotang, and Mrs. Fu in the carriage had completely gone to Fu Yunyan in the capital. She had planned to stay in Luoyue City again. I stayed for four or five days, but now I can't wait to return to the capital early...
When the group of them arrived at Bixiaotang, the golden sunset just started to fall on the horizon, and at a glance, the city was filled with smoke.
Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai were both regulars at Bixiao Hall, and the servants in the mansion were very familiar with them. Immediately, a little maid led them to a side hall of Shuzhi Hall.
In the side hall, the table has been set up, some cold dishes have been served, and the three of Nangong Yue, Lin Shi and Yuan Yuyi are sitting at the table talking and smiling.
Fu Yunhe and his party hurried forward to greet each other. Mrs. Fu didn't expect that she would come across the in-law's family occasionally, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
Everyone quickly greeted each other and took their seats.
"Sister-in-law," Yuan Lingbai glanced at the cold dishes on the table, and said to Nangong Yue with a hilarious smile, "There is a saying: it is better to be in time than to be in time. It seems that our time for the meal is just right."
Hearing Yuan Ling Bai Li put the word "rubbing rice" on her lips boldly, Madam Fu's mouth twitched, Yuan Yuyi held her forehead even more helplessly, she was really ashamed to recognize this second brother.
Nangong Yue laughed and said boldly, "Don't worry, take care!"
The four words attracted a burst of laughter from everyone, and the laughter came one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall was very relaxed.
Han Qixia's gaze lingered on Nangong Yue's bulging belly, and said, "Yue'er, I remember my grandfather said that your due date should be a few days away, right?"
"Yeah." Nangong Yue replied while rubbing her abdomen, with a very gentle expression on her face.
Her maternity period is approaching, so during this period, everyone around her is trembling, no matter where she goes, there are people beside her to support her, so she is afraid that she will start early at any time.
Everything is ready for production, but Lin still has to check it every day, lest he miss something.
The candidates for the wet nurse were carefully selected and selected. In the last child, the wet nurse went wrong, so this time, An Niang, Baihui and the others were more careful in choosing the wet nurse and in the diet of the wet nurse. Now, I have selected five or six alternative wet nurses, and Bixiaotang has opened a special kitchen to take care of the food, so as to eliminate all possible loopholes.
As her delivery date approached, Lin shi came to accompany Nangong Yue most of the time, looking at her daughter's high and bulging belly, her whole body was as tight as a taut bowstring.
It's not just Lin Shi, everyone else is like an enemy, Han Qixia is no exception, she can't help but tell Nangong Yue about some precautions in the planning, Lin Shi agrees and adds from time to time.
Compared with the sincerity and fear of the others, Nangong Yue was quite content, and in turn, he helped Lin Shi and Han Qixia: "Mother, Sister Xia, I'm fine, this is my second child, and everything will go well."
This principle is correct, Han Qixia smiled shyly.
Lin Shi also understood in her heart, but giving birth to a woman is like stepping into the gate of hell with one foot, how can she not worry about being a mother.
Looking at Lin Shi's slightly frowning eyebrows, Nangong Yue touched her stomach and said with a smile: "Mother, Sister Xia, you think my luck is good, the birth period in late March, the temperature during this time is just right for confinement. , If it's the midsummer in July or August, it won't suffocate me to death."
After thinking about it this way, Lin Shi finally showed his face, smiled and nodded and said, "That's right, Yue'er, it's a good day when you gave birth to brother Yu."
Nangong Yue blinked her eyes and said, "It can be seen that our brother Yu and Nan Nan are well-behaved..."
Before she could finish her words, a clear and loud milk voice had already come from outside the house: "Mother, brother Yu is good!"
The little dumpling in a little purple robe held a flower basket in his hand and ran rampantly into the hall, followed by two tall and straight young men, one with a bright smile and the other with a warm smile, strolling in the courtyard.
Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai hurriedly stood up to greet the two with a loud voice: "Big brother, Marshal."
The two who came in behind Xiao Xiao Yu were naturally Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai.
It turned out that the marshal also came here to eat dinner. Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai exchanged a tacit glance and smiled tacitly.
The little guy rushed to Nangong Yue and the others with the flower basket, only to see a basket of lavender lilacs in the bamboo flower basket, and the rich floral fragrance was blowing...
"Mother, grandmother..." The little guy generously gave them all the flowers. Nangong Yue, Lin Shi, Mrs. Fu, Yuan Yuyi, and Han Qixia all had a share, and they made them smile. Look Like that, I really want to give my heart to Xiao Xiaoyu.
Xiao Yi was a little speechless. He blinked at Nangong Yue suspiciously, and asked silently: Who did this stinky boy learn from? !
Nangong Yue lowered her head halfway, bit her lip and held back her smile. Everyone except Xiao Yi probably knows the answer to this question. Like father, like son.
"Brother Yu is so good!" Lin was so moved by the few lilac flowers, "Grandma used these petals to make sachets for you and your sister, okay?"
Xiao Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, waved to Lin Shi again, and kissed him to express his joy.
Lin Shi took him to his lap, and several women asked him what he learned and what he did today, and he was happy...
Amidst the chatter and laughter, after the maids asked the master for instructions, they started serving the dishes one by one. The aroma of the food filled the hall, mixed with the faint scent of bamboo wine.
This dinner was enjoyed by all guests.
After serving the hot tea after dinner, Mrs. Fu revealed her true purpose for the trip: "My wife, Yue'er, I came here today to say goodbye. I plan to leave for the capital in three days." Thinking of Fu Yunyan's rough appearance on weekdays, Mrs. Fu couldn't be relieved. Anyway, if you want to go, let's go a few days earlier.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Of course, Fu Yunhe and Han Qixia knew that Madam Fu would return to the capital sooner or later, but they originally wanted to stay with her for a few more days. Now, looking at Madam Fu's appearance, they naturally understood that she was for Fu Yunyan.
The hearts of parents in the world. Lin Shi also guessed it, and felt quite emotional. After her daughter was born, she and Nangong Mu were going to go back to Jiangnan, and the royal capital couldn't care about it for a while.
Lin Shi looked at Madam Fu and sighed gratefully: "My wife, Liu Niang is going to trouble you!" Thanks to the Fu family, she and Nangong Mucai were relieved to keep Nangong Xin and Fu Yunyan in the capital. .
"Where is it!" Mrs. Fu said with a smile.
Fu Yunhe and Han Qixia exchanged glances quickly, knowing what to expect.
Fu Yunhe knew that Mrs. Fu had made up her mind, so she stopped persuading her. After pondering for a while, she suggested, "Mother, let me hold a practice banquet for you the day after tomorrow."
Mrs. Fu did not hesitate, and readily responded.
Fu Yunhe looked at Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai, and invited him: "Big brother, Marshal, when the time comes, you all come to my mansion to join in the fun!"
Before they could answer, Xiao Xiaoyu couldn't wait to raise his hand and said, "Me, and me!"
The little guy's voice echoed loudly in the hall, making everyone laugh and dispelling the melancholy that was about to leave...
