In the early spring of the second year of Zhaode's reign, the wind was still cold and the snow between the tiles was still there, but the willow tips protruding from the wall were already dyed with a touch of light green spring.
There is a large mansion with green tiles and red doors in the south of the city. The four words "Chongjun Prince's Mansion" are brightly painted on the plaque hanging high on the front door. It has obviously been hung not long ago. Qiu Yilan stood under the plaque. She didn't know whether it was the joy of moving into a new house that had not yet dissipated, or the purity after setting up her own business. She was already the mother of three sons and one daughter, but she still had a trace of a girl's leaping and flying spirit in her eyebrows. He seemed more and more energetic.
She dressed up specially today, with a cross bun, small silver butterfly steps with filigree-studded emerald glass beads, yellow appliqués, and dimples. She held a small gilt suan Ni heater in her hand and hugged a white fox fur like fresh snow. Looking at her, she was so charming and charming, and her face was so radiant that all the male servants around her turned their eyes and did not dare to look further for fear of offending her.
At this moment, she was frequently looking towards the end of the long street in front of her door, while scolding her daughter Jiang Huiying with a chuckle: "Let's wait for your aunt here. When your aunt comes, we will go in and bring Dabai and Nianxue out." do what?"
"Auntie is here, Dabai and Nian Xue can follow her!" Jiang Huiying bent down and touched the two fat and cute lion cats, and retorted.
"Be careful, don't let them stain your skirt!" Qiu Yilan glanced at the lion cat that seemed a little lazy, "They are getting older, it's better to let them run around less in the future!"
Jiang Huiying pouted and was about to speak when she suddenly saw the team coming out of the street corner. She quickly stood up and said happily: "Auntie is here!"
The horse-drawn carriage surrounded by more than a dozen knights stopped at the foot of the stone steps. The curtains of the carriage were raised, and Ou Qinglan's slightly plump face was indeed revealed. She smiled and complained: "Why don't you wait for me at the gate in person like this? That’s all, and you’re dragging Ying’er into blowing the cold wind with you?”
"Aunt!" Before Qiu Yilan could answer, Jiang Huiying rushed to the front of the car and shouted sweetly, followed by some sweet words, "Don't worry, aunt! If you can see your aunt earlier, you won't feel the cold." !”
"Listen to this!" At this time, Ou Qinglan had quickly stepped out of the carriage. He first leaned over and picked her up while she was lying on the carriage shaft. Then, with a little help from Qiu Yilan's outstretched arm, she jumped down briskly. He sighed, "It really makes my heart melt when I hear it!"
"Although you know that she is just trying to coax you!" Qiu Yilan unscrupulously tried to undermine her daughter, "Knowing that you are coming today, she asked me at least eight times last night, 'Auntie will remember to bring me with you when I come over today.' Give me that precious little flower crown?”
Jiang Huiying glared at her mother angrily, then put on a smile, and said to Ou Qinglan in a cooing voice: "Auntie, don't listen to mother's nonsense, Ying'er doesn't remember the little pearl corolla! Ying'er just misses you. I can’t stay inside, I have to come out to welcome you!”
Ou Qinglan kissed her again and again on her pink cheeks, and first said to Qiu Yilan: "You care about me? It's my blessing that my niece is willing to coax me! If it were someone else, she wouldn't bother to care!" Then to Jiang Huiying Smiling kindly, "Ignore your mother, she is just jealous of you and your aunt, right?"
"Yes, that's right!" Jiang Huiying was proud to have her aunt's support, but then the conversation changed again, and her true feelings were revealed, "My aunt loves Ying'er so much, and when Ying'er gets a small pearl corolla, she must wear it immediately. Look, aunt!”
"Did you see that?" Qiu Yilan said lazily, "I'm thinking of you giving her something good! I'm afraid you'll forget!"
"If you forget to give something to you, don't forget to give it to us Ying'er!" Ou Qinglan smiled and patted her niece, "After entering the house, my aunt put it on you with her hands - Ying'er looks so good, she should be fine Dress up and my aunt will bring you other beautiful jewelry and hairpins next time!”
Qiu Yilan held her forehead and said, "I just set a rule for her for two days. Sister-in-law, please do it well and don't let her break it again!"
... Qiu Jinglan and Ou Qinglan arrived in Beijing last autumn, and it was a coincidence that they came back just in time for the crown prince to be crowned: after Jiang Tianchi pretended to decline several times - the main point is that he insisted on recommending Jiang Tianqi - there was no surprise. into the East Palace.
His brothers were all crowned kings, and his sisters were princesses. This was natural and no need to elaborate. Among his cousins, Jiang Tian'ao, who had been following Jiang Qianchuan, and Jiang Tian'ao, the only son of the Marquis of Ji Bei, were no exception. Wangjue. However, Mrs. Han's Jiang Tianju and Jiang Tianjun did not have a deep relationship with Jiang Qianchuan, and under the influence of their mother, they each only made the Duke of the country, not even the county king.
Under the Qin Sui Rui system, the prince's son became the county king, and the titles of the three brothers Jiang Yadan, Jiang Yazhu, and Jiang Yashuang were Hui, Jing, and Chong in order.
After the canonization of the newly born royal family, the Jiang family, was settled, it was time for the ministers. Qiu Jinglan returned to the capital under the banner of expressing his merits. Jiang Qianchuan and Jiang Tianchi also wanted to win over and appease him, so they quickly granted him the title of Marquis of Dingxi. Although his title was Dingxi, he had no intention of letting him go to Western Xinjiang. Instead, he was transferred to serve in the Ministry of War, and he was given the benefits of repairing the Ruan Mansion. Obviously, he wanted him to live in peace and contentment in the capital for a long time.
Although Qiu Yilan still doubts that her father-in-law will do something to hide the bird, it is a good thing that the brother and sister can see each other more often after returning to Beijing - it would be better if Qiu Jinglan and his wife did not spoil her child so much Got it!
At this moment, she said to Ou Qinglan sincerely: "A loving mother often loses her son! The nature of Lang'er and Hui'er is already very different, sister-in-law, you still have to work hard, and you won't be able to have sex every day in the future. Fangjiewa?”
Ou Qinglan didn't care at all: "What's wrong with going to the house to reveal the tiles? It's not like I never did such a thing back then - what do you think my father said?"
Qiu Yilan didn't want to ask. Although she hadn't met Uncle Jing very much - oh, he was the Duke of Min now - she also knew that Ou Qinglan was the apple of the Ou family's generation. She was favored by her parents even more than her elder brother. , wouldn’t this question make Jiang Huiying more reluctant to learn
But she didn't ask. Ou Qinglan said to herself: "My father said that ordinary girls who want to have sex can't get it! Those who can get it may not dare!"
Seeing Qiu Yilan's face darken, Ou Qinglan laughed out loud, "How old is Ying'er? Why are you so anxious to set rules for her? You told Man'er yourself before that the child should grow up. Are you sensible?"
"You and your brother haven't come back yet, okay?" Qiu Yilan complained, "I don't want them to be like some of their uncles and aunts!"
While he was talking, his sister-in-law had already entered the room. Hibiscus made some tea. Ou Qinglan held her niece on her lap and asked her servants to bring out the promised small pearl corolla for her to wear. She said with a smile: "We didn't do anything. Talk to Lang'er. As for Ying'er, isn't it right for a girl to be pampered?"
Her eyes were dazed for a moment, and she sighed, "It would be great if my child was still here, and Ying'er would be a playmate in the future!"
Qiu Yilan was most afraid of what she would say—Ou Qinglan had experienced changes in Western Xinjiang when she was pregnant. Her premature daughter did not survive, and she became seriously ill in Western Xinjiang. After returning to Beijing, she asked an imperial doctor for treatment. She said that she had no hope for the past two years. She gave birth, so now she is jealous when she sees children, especially girls. As a sister-in-law, Qiu Yilan knows the reason, and of course she cannot bear to stop her from empathizing with Jiang Huiying.
But this daughter didn’t know who she learned it from. Her mouth was so sweet that she didn’t know the ins and outs of this, so she comforted her: “It doesn’t matter if we can’t be playmates, Ying’er has Brother Seventeen to play with! From now on, my aunt My children are younger than Ying’er, and Ying’er will be a good sister and play with them!”
Ou Qinglan was moved and hugged her and kissed her again and again: "Auntie really wants to take you home without giving it to your mother!"
"No way!" Jiang Huiying said, "Ying'er still has two younger brothers! What if she leaves with her aunt and there is no one to help mother take care of her nineteenth and twentieth brothers?"
Qiu Yilan curled her lips and said, "I've been using them as toys all day long, so why don't you ask me to carry them for you?"
"Mom, you are so stupid!" Jiang Huiying was furious, "I am the only daughter you have now! My aunt took me away, what will you do if you don't have a daughter?! I am treating you like this, and you are actually going against me? !”
"Haha!" Both the aunt and sister laughed out loud. Ou Qinglan pinched Jiang Huiying's cheek, leaned back and said, "Yilan, did you hear clearly? Your daughter is going to be taken away by me. What will you do? You can't eat or sleep. , You don’t have any thoughts about anything, do you?”
Jiang Huiying teased Jiang Huiying for a while, until Zhou’s mother came up to remind her: “It’s time for the County Lord to go to Mr. Shao’s place!”
Ou Qinglan reluctantly put her on the ground and said, "I will stay with my aunt for a few days in two days. Don't worry, I won't give it back to your mother!"
When Jiang Huiying was taken away by Zhou's mother, Ou Qinglan asked Qiu Yilan: "Mr. Shao? Is this Master Shao Yuemei? Is she invited to your house now?"
Shao Yuemei was recognized as the best boudoir teacher by famous families in Beijing more than ten years ago, so she was hired by Empress Tao into the Jiang family in her early years to teach the daughters of the Jiang family. Last year, after Jiang Qianchuan accepted Emperor Rui's abdication and ascended the throne as emperor, his step-wife, Mrs. Tao, moved into the palace and was crowned queen in autumn. The couple went to live in the palace, and their children were all grown up, but it was inconvenient. Follow and live in the imperial city.
It is not easy to continue to live in the Duke of Qin's Mansion. After all, Jiang Qianchuan is the emperor, and the Duke of Qin's Mansion has become his dormitory, which has special political significance. Therefore, before the early winter of last year, after the canonization of the Jiang family was completed, they all looked for other places to live.
Jiang Yashuang and his wife rushed to move into the Chongjun Prince's Mansion at the end of the year.
In this case, of course, the family property of the Duke of Qin's palace was also divided among them - according to the old rules, the eldest son got a double share, and the remaining houses were divided equally. However, since Jiang Tianchi was the prince, although the share given to the fourth room was not large, privately, he picked everything first after the fourth room.
Of course, with Jiang Tianchi's vision, he wouldn't care about it here. He didn't even pick it himself, just letting Jiang Yadan and Jiang Yashuang take care of it. Not to mention that Jiang Yadan is still favored by Jiang Tianchi and goes in and out of Jiang Qianchuan and his wife all day long to express his filial piety, but Jiang Yashuang respects his brother in such matters, so Ou Qinglan felt very strange: " Prince Hui has a lot of girls, and his legitimate daughter is only one year younger than Ying'er, but he doesn't want female teacher Shao? "
Even if Jiang Yadan forgets this, Chu Yitong shouldn't forget it, right? Jiang Huibao is her biological daughter!
