In the end, it was the aunt who saw Su Caicai was pitiful, couldn't bear it, and took her back to Su's house.
"Oh, why are you crying?" Mrs. Su hurriedly took him over.
The aunt smiled and said, "I fell in pain on the road, so I cried. He is so young, and he fell after walking a few steps. It's so pitiful."
Mrs. Su thanked her repeatedly.
"By the way, is there a visitor at home?" My aunt looked into the room, and there were several people she didn't know.
Mrs. Su said with a smile: "It's not that Cai Cai's father saw that winter was coming and there was no food at home, so he specially asked someone to pull Cai Cai from the capital." Cai Cai's father was talking about Jiang Mao.
My aunt looked at it curiously, "Can vegetables still grow in winter?" Finally, she said sincerely, "That's great."
Mrs. Su was happy, and the aunt also helped to bring the vegetables back, so she went to the car to grab two handfuls of vegetables.
Although it was a little wilted, it was green and shiny, and there was a piece of mushroom. My aunt left happily.
There are several kinds of vegetables in such a cart, which is really rare in winter.
In the past, Su family food was also eaten in winter, but not much. Generally speaking, they still ate more meat.
"Mother, are there any guests at home?" Su Qingtong didn't go to work because it was snowing today. These days, the second sister-in-law Su left, and there was no cook at home, so Su Qingtong came here to eat. As soon as it was time for dinner today, as soon as he came over, he saw several strangers at home surrounding the dining table.
Su Caicai was sitting on his little stool, holding an iron bowl. There were some pieces of mushrooms and a chicken leg in the bowl, which he was eating deliciously.
Seeing the second uncle coming with his sister in his arms, Su Caicai immediately took out the chicken leg in his mouth and handed it to his sister to eat.
Su Qingtong touched his head, "My sister is still young, she can't eat chicken legs, and Cai Cai eats by herself."
Su Caicai took back the chicken leg, thought for a while, then reached into the bowl with his oily paws, grabbed a handful, took out a piece of mushroom with a leaf of green vegetable between his fingers, and handed it to his sister.
Mrs. Su hurried over and pulled Su Caicai's claws back, "Cai Cai is good, eat by yourself." She replied to Su Qingtong, "Your brother sent someone to deliver the food, and I left someone to eat at noon today."
"That's right." Mrs. Su said to Su Qingtong, "I made a bowl of green vegetable puree, and I'll bring it to Xiaoqin to eat."
"Thank you mother."
After the meal, Su Lingchuan took out Su Qingbai's letter and read it to everyone after seeing off the food deliverers.
Hearing that Su Qingbai gave birth to another big fat boy, Mrs. Su was very happy at first, but after hearing the joy and satisfaction expressed in Su Qingbai's letter, Mrs. Su felt a little unhappy in her heart, and she even felt sorry for the little one. A little angry.
She touched Su Caicai who was eating non-stop next to her, and she felt very pitiful. That family was happy in the capital, but her dear baby Caicai was alone, with no parents and no mother with them. In such a remote border town. The letter did not say that they would pick up Cai Cai.
"With the small ones, they won't remember the big ones. No one cares about the poor Cai Cai, and they still have to follow us to eat bran-swallowed vegetables."
Only her husband and son are here, and Mrs. Su can say whatever is on her mind.
Su Lingchuan frowned, but he was used to his old wife's complaints, so he didn't scold her like he scolded his son, and his tone was still very gentle, "How can Cai Cai be so pitiful? You still eat bran and swallow vegetables?" Look at Su Cai Cai who is eating meat.
Su Caicai was called, and raised her head in a daze, still chewing on the chicken.
"It's okay, you continue to eat." Su Lingchuan patted Su Caicai's head.
Mrs. Su didn't have bad intentions, she just felt sorry for her grandson and complained.
Picking up Cai Cai in one hand, Su Qingtong said to him: "Cai Cai has a younger brother, and Cai Cai is an older brother, are you happy?"
Su Caicai could still understand each sentence, but after three consecutive sentences, he couldn't understand. He was picked up by his second uncle, and he didn't understand. The bone was handed to the second uncle's mouth, "here."
Su Qingtong patted his butt and put him down, "Second Uncle won't eat it, you eat it yourself." A chicken leg, how many people was given away by Su Caicai.
Su Caicai is probably the kind of person who looks delicate, beautiful and quiet, but inside he loves to be lively, delicate and beautiful like Jiang Mao, but like Su Qingbai who loves to be lively.
No, not long after giving birth to the child, Su Qingbai couldn't sit still at home, holding him back for half a year, once he was free, he wished he could run out every day.
As soon as Jiang Mao turned, he dragged Jiang Mao to the theater.
They went in a rather simple carriage. Originally, Su Qingbai wanted to come and have fun, but Jiang Mao didn't want to, fearing that he would be frozen.
Nested in Jiang Mao's arms, and forced to wrap a quilt, the two drove to the theater in a carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, only the two of them were covered with a quilt, Jiang Mao couldn't help but move his hands and feet.
Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside, and Su Qingbai quickly pushed people away.
He lifted the curtain and looked outside. It turned out that someone was getting married.
"Whose family is getting married, today is not a good day, why do you put off getting married today?" the person next to him asked.
"It's the daughter of Sun Shilang's family from the Ministry of Rites."
"Sun Shilang, I heard that you just came back from other places, why are you in a hurry to marry your daughter as soon as you come back?"
Next, Su Qingbai didn't listen anymore, he scratched his head and said to Jiang Mao: "My family and Sun's family have known each other for many years, why don't I remember that Sun Zhong has other daughters besides my second sister-in-law."
Hearing that, all the thoughts in Jiang Mao's heart were put away. Su Qingbai was about to give birth a few days ago, and he didn't tell Su Qingbai about the Su family's affairs. Up to now, Su Qingbai still doesn't know that his second brother and second sister-in-law are separated. up.
"Qingbai—" Before Su Qingbai gave birth, he didn't say anything for fear of affecting Su Qingbai's delivery. Now that the child has been born, he has no reason to keep it a secret, "Your second sister-in-law and your second brother have divorced."
Su Qingbai looked over, he didn't digest the news for a while. Leng Leng.
Jiang Mao continued: "The newlywed outside is probably your second sister-in-law."
Su Qingbai couldn't believe it at first, and then got angry, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jiang Mao was already ready to bear Su Qingbai's anger when he was hiding it, and it was rare for him to bow his head and listen obediently.
Su Qingbai lost his temper, seeing Jiang Mao obediently admitting his mistake, he couldn't speak anymore.
"Forget it." Losing his temper won't solve anything, and he also knows that Jiang Mao is doing it for his own good, Su Qingbai's heart is at home at this time, "I don't know what happened to my father and the others after this happened."
I was not in the mood to listen to the play, and they went back home before they arrived.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. When he got home, Su Qingbai thought again, "Why don't I go back and have a look?" He discussed with Jiang Mao.
Jiang Mao disagreed.
Su Qingbai said, "Now that my child has been born, and my body is almost taken care of, I want to go back and have a look." Firstly, he is worried about his family, and secondly, he really misses Cai Cai.
Jiang Mao couldn't resist him, so he had to take a step back, "You can go, but it must be a month later. You just gave birth to the baby, and you will raise it for another month. When you feel better, I will let you go."
Su Qingbai still wanted to bargain, but Jiang Mao refused to give in this time, and even arranged many people to guard him in order to prevent him from sneaking away.
No way, Su Qingbai had to wait at home for a month to pass quickly.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Jiang Mao was really busy. Not only did he have to deal with trivial matters, but he also had to deal with officials in Beijing and the concubine Lou.
"My son has a hot spring village outside the capital city. Although it is not very big, it is enough to entertain the families of the princes and ministers. On that day, the hot spring village will be closed for one day to make room for you." It is impossible for Jiang Mao to buy it specially for her. A hot spring resort.
Hearing this, Concubine Lou was a little displeased, "How can I make a move for a place where anyone can go?"
Jiang Mao frowned, "It's too extravagant to buy a hot spring villa just for one bath, and my son doesn't have that much money." Jiang Mao was not used to extravagant and wasteful life in his previous life.
Concubine Lou couldn't be more clear about Jiang Mao's money or not. She immediately wiped away her tears, said three good words, and then covered her chest, "I have worked so hard to raise you by myself, now For the sake of the royal family's face, if you are asked to do a trivial matter, you will push it all the way."
"Mother, you don't dare to admit your son when you say that." Jiang Mao bowed and said, "The face of the royal family should also be considered by the third prince. You consider these..." Jiang Mao looked up at her, "Have you exceeded your authority?"
Concubine Lou's angry face was distorted.
People only know that she has been chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha in the past few years, and she doesn't care about world affairs.
But who would spend time on the scriptures for no reason
Losing at the hands of the queen and being driven to Cangzhou was the pain of her life. Now that the queen has finally died, and finally she has returned, how can she not seize this opportunity to hold on to the power in her hand? How could she not seize this opportunity and enjoy the thrill of power that she never had in the first half of her life
These days can be said to be the happiest days for Concubine Lou. She is sitting in the most beautiful palace, and even the princes respect her.
Looking at Jiang Mao again, Concubine Lou's eyes flashed disgust for the flesh that fell from her body. This son didn't come when she was in favor, and he came when he lost his power and didn't need him anymore.
He was not likable when he was a child, and even less so when he grew up? Who doesn't know that Yue Wang's mansion is as rich as an enemy country? Now he wouldn't even buy her a small hot spring villa
Seeing Concubine Lou trembling with anger, Jiang Mao bowed his hands and said goodbye, without waiting for Concubine Lou's permission, he turned and left.
Next year, when he returns to Cangzhou, he will see whether Concubine Lou can still dance around alone in the capital.
Concubine Lou looked at his leaving figure, she lifted the table angrily, and it was the little eunuch outside who came to report: "Niang Niang, Miss Lou has come to see you."
Miss Lou is the daughter of Concubine Lou's elder brother, Lou Jingyu.
While waiting outside, Lou Jingyu frowned, a few years passed, her youth was gone, and she also lost her thoughts on her cousin. After all, it's just worship.
She had originally planned to marry a husband who loved her dearly, but a while ago her father suddenly told her that her aunt, concubine Lou, wanted her to marry her cousin.
Since she was ten years old, she has been listening to her father talking about how her cousin resisted foreign enemies and how to grow the Yue Palace. In addition, she has met her cousin several times. She never thought that her cousin is not only talented, but also tall and handsome. Lou Jingyu originally only planned to find a husband who loves her, but her heart was shaken again.
I didn't delay too long at Concubine Lou's place today.
After leaving the palace gate, Hu Hong had been waiting for him there.
He opened the curtain, saw the person inside, raised one foot and then retreated.
"Fourth brother." Jiang Jun came out of the sedan chair with a limp and a smile.
"What's up?"
Jiang Jun leaned forward, "I've said it several times, we are brothers, and I can come to you if I have nothing to do."
Jiang Mao's patience with him really ran out, and he was about to leave when Jiang Jun suddenly said, "Fourth brother, why do you smell like milk?"
Jiang Mao froze, "Nothing."
Jiang Jun leaned forward, "Of course I want it."
Jiang Mao didn't want to talk to him, so he let go of his hand and got into the sedan chair, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Jiang Jun didn't catch up anymore, he watched Jiang Mao leave, and thought of the nanny a few days ago.
A guess emerged in his mind.
The fourth brother probably had a baby recently. In order to protect the child, the fourth brother did not say anything to the outside world, but the child's mother is actually the nanny, and the nanny's identity is actually a cover.
Touching his chin, Jiang Jun thought, unexpectedly, the fourth brother is really a good father and a good husband.
As for Jiang Jun, Jiang Mao was bothered by him, but he also knew that he had no ill intentions towards him, nor did he dislike him very much.
As early as when Jiang Jun first entered the court, Jiang Mao had already checked out his details. Everything was normal, just like a real young man, the only abnormal thing was his previous love affair.
The person Jiang Jun liked before had been friends with Su Qingbai. His name was Zhou Chang, who was one year older than Jiang Jun. He was now in jail because he offended the elder brother of the third concubine.
Jiang Mao can probably guess the reason why he clings to him all day, but he doesn't intend to meddle in his own business just yet.
