Han Jianming took his family back to Beijing by boat. The scenery along the road is very beautiful. Xiang has never taken a big boat before, so soon after boarding the boat, he went to the deck with great interest.
The wind blew on his face, unspeakably cozy. The surrounding lush trees and buildings were left behind in a blink of an eye.
Zhong Minxiu went on the deck with Qiu, and saw Xiang holding Brother Ye and said with a smile: "Mother, you are here to enjoy the scenery too? Why don't you call me and grandmother?"
No matter what it is, Zhong Minxiu always puts the Qiu family first. And Xiang didn't have this thought, nor did he have this patience. Comparing the two, the Qiu clan is now increasingly dissatisfied with the Xiang clan.
Hearing this, Qiu's family couldn't help frowning.
Zhong Minxiu was very satisfied when he saw it. Eyedrops on the ground without a trace were the highest level.
Xiang was extremely disgusted with Zhong Minxiu, but she didn't dare to show it: "I was a little bored sitting in the cabin, so I took Brother Ye out to breathe."
At this time a gust of wind blew over. The wind was so strong that everyone's hair was messed up.
Qiu looked at Brother Ye in Xiang's arms and said, "It's windy here, hurry up and hug your child!" Even if the child wears a coat, it is easy to catch cold when the wind blows.
This can be troublesome if you get sick on the boat. The Xiang family didn't dare to delay, and said hurriedly: "Mother, then I will go down."
Back in the house, Xiang waved his hand to let the other maids go out. When only Pu Ye was left in the house, he said coldly: "Just she will behave well." The old lady was coaxed to listen to her.
During this period of time, the Xiang clan also tried his best to please Qiu clan, but it was a pity that Qiu clan didn't buy it. The Xiang family regretted seeing that Qiu family couldn't be pleased with exhausted methods. Unfortunately, it is too late to regret now.
Pu Ye said, "Madam, even if she pleases the old lady, she won't be able to go beyond you."
At this moment, Brother Ye started to cry. When Xiang sees that the diaper is not wet, he knows that he is hungry.
Where Xiang lives, the two houses are connected. Busily called the nursery mother Lin to come over, and took Brother Ye into the next room to feed her.
Pu Ye lowered his voice and said, "Madam, you must not let the mistress please the princess until the capital." If the princess favors Zhong Minxiu again, then his wife will really be emptied in Han Mansion.
"I know this." After finishing speaking, Xiang Shi said anxiously: "I'm afraid that because of Xuan's matter, the princess will have a grudge against me." If you have a heart for her, I am afraid that the princess will not like her anymore.
Pu Ye is not sure, but she still said in a positive tone: "The princess is a person who does big things, and she won't hate you for this little thing."
"Hope!" When I first got married, I thought that as long as the husband liked it. Now I know how naive my original thoughts are.
I was still relaxed when I was a girl. Although the days were a bit tighter, I didn't have so many worries. Xiang said, "I don't know how my mother is now?" When she went to the capital, Xiang's family could no longer take the Buddha.
Pu Ye hesitated and said, "Madam, there is something I have been hiding from you."
"What's the matter?" Pu Ye didn't doubt it, and she wouldn't hide anything that was embarrassing.
Pu Ye sighed and said, "Fu Tuan told me in private that the uncle had proposed to the third master that the whole family would also go to the capital."
Xiang's face immediately changed: "The family went to the capital, and it was so light. There is nothing to make a living in the capital, what to eat and wear?" There are houses and farm shops here, so there is no need to worry about livelihood. There is nothing in the capital, everything has to be started from scratch.
Pu Ye wanted to speak but stopped.
Upon seeing this, Xiang knew that Pu Ye hadn't finished saying: "Tell me everything you know."
"The uncle said that he went to the capital, and he will find our master for an errand at that time." After speaking, Pu Ye whispered, "Madam, you must not agree to this matter!" This young man went to the capital, and he will definitely have it by then. Everything is pointed at Madam. Originally lost in the mansion, the Xiang family members came to stir up again, fearing that his wife was struggling in the mansion.
Mrs. Xiang is sick all the year round, and Xiang always sends medicinal tonics after he gets married. Because this is also filial piety, the Qiu family didn't say anything. But if the Xiang family had no bottom line to help her natal family, let alone the Qiu family, Han Jianming would not be able to tolerate it.
Xiang was silent and said, "Did you say that I am indulging them too much?"
Pu Ye didn't know how to answer the conversation.
"They thought that I would marry the Han family and enjoy the spicy food. No one can forgive me for the hardship in the Han family." When he said this, Xiang's eyes were red.
Pu Ye said, "Madam, you have done enough for the Xiang family. You don't want to take care of the Xiang family anymore. If you take care of it too much, they will not only not appreciate you, but will blame you." To Pu Ye said that the dowry given by the Japanese and Korean family should be used for the dowry. In this way, Xiang's family won't be looked down upon when they marry into the Han family, and the appetite of Xiang's family will not become bigger and bigger.
Seeing Xiang’s face hesitated, Pu Ye said, “Madam, don’t think about you, but also think about the eighth master. If you irritate the master, the eighth master will also be affected.” The old lady liked the eighth master a lot. But because he was dissatisfied with his wife, even now he is indifferent to the eighth master. If Ba Ye loses his father's favor, it will definitely be a very difficult time.
Hearing this, Xiang made up his mind: "When I arrive in Beijing, I will write a letter back. If they insist on going to Beijing, I won't care."
Pu Ye sighed. I'm afraid that it is hard to say it now, and the people waiting for the Xiang family really have gone to Beijing, the wife can't really leave it alone. Furthermore, regardless of the life and death of Xiang's family, he will say that his wife is cold-blooded and affectionate. So, being a human being is too difficult.
Looking at Pu Ye’s expression, Xiang knew what she was thinking: “My mother’s body can’t stand the long distance journey.” If her father and eldest brother went to Beijing regardless of her mother’s body, then she would really stop taking care of Xiang’s house. Thing.
After Xiang Clan got down to the cabin, Qiu Clan said with dissatisfaction: "The mother who is still taking care of the children is not meticulous at all." The wind on the boat is strong, and the basic common sense is not known.
Zhong Minxiu never speaks ill of anyone in front of the Qiu clan, and this naturally includes the Xiang clan. Holding Qiu's arm, Zhong Minxiu said with a smile: "This is my mother's first time as a mother. I can't think of many things so comprehensively. I don't know anything. I will need more advice from my grandmother in the future!"
"As long as you don't think I'm nagging." The Qiu family now treats Zhong Minxiu as a granddaughter, and even Brother Chang is leaning back.
Zhong Minxiu's mouth was very sweet, and she smiled and said, "There is an old man in the family, like a treasure. Besides, what grandmother said is all your accumulated experience. How can I dislike it if I can avoid many detours in the future."
Hearing this, Qiu's family didn't mention it more comfortably: "You, you will make me happy."
Zhong Minxiu said with an aggrieved look: "Grandma, what I say is all true. It hurts my heart to say so!"
Qiu's eyebrows were opened and smiled by her.
Mother Li just sighed that Zhong Minxiu was an individual. The old lady was coaxed, the second master was managed, and the Han mansion was well organized by her.
After staying on the deck for a while, the two returned to the cabin. Seeing that Zhong Minxiu was going to accompany her into the room, Qiu said, "You are also tired, go back to the house and take a good rest." After all, it is a pregnant woman and still needs a good rest.
Zhong Minxiu was also a little tired, and did not refuse: "Grandma, please call me if something is going on." In fact, that's what Qiu said, even if people around him can take care of something, how could it bother her and a pregnant woman.
Qiu's sitting on the bed said, "I don't know if I can leave tomorrow." Han Jianming still had some things to deal with, so he asked the female family to take a step first, and he followed.
The Qiu family took the things from the Eight Ships, so they walked slowly. Han Jianming is only one person at that time and will soon be able to catch up.
Xiang's spirit was very good for the first two days, but on the third day it was not enough. It was very windy on this day and the boat was a little bumpy, and Xiang soon couldn't hold it and started to vomit. After vomiting for a day, my hands and feet were weak, and I couldn't speak.
The Qiu clan looked at the Xiang clan and said, "Hold Brother Ye into my room, these **** will take care of her first, and I will let the nanny take him back when you are better."
The Xiang clan hesitated and agreed. Now is not the time to be brave, and You Qiu clan looked at her at ease.
Back in the cabin, Lotus said with some regret: "It's fine if the lady refuses." If the Xiang clan rejected the old lady's proposal, the old lady would not wait to see her at all. My grandmother is relieved.
Zhong Minxiu's thoughts are different from that of Lotus: "If she is so stupid, father-in-law would not look down on her at the beginning." Some time ago, she secretly did a lot of things about the Xiang family, but the Xiang family did not suffer. Then Zhong Minxiu knew that it would be very difficult to completely suppress Xiang.
Lotus said: "Mrs. Granny, what if the lady wins the old lady's favor through the eighth master?" Then what they did before was useless.
Brother Chang is not thinking about business matters, so Zhong Minxiu's hard work is useless. The only thing Zhong Minxiu relies on now is Qiu's likes. If she loses this, she will have no right to speak in the back house.
Zhong Minxiu smiled and said: "There are a lot of messy things in the Xiang family, it is impossible for her to win the likes of her grandmother."
Hebao didn't understand: "But the Xiang family is in the south of the Yangtze River, thousands of miles away from the capital! No matter what they do, it won't affect his wife." The Xiang family was not seen by the Qiu family, and the Xiang family accounted for half. s reason.
Zhong Minxiu smiled and said, "They can come to the capital to be my wife!" Brother Chang is useless, but she has her family to rely on. And Xiang's family, especially his eldest brother, was specifically holding back. If such a good card is not used, then she would be stupid.
Xiang took a medicine for seasickness, and it took two days to heal.
The Qiu clan took Brother Ye back to her, and then said to Mama Li, "You are young, and you can recover quickly." If you change to her, you won't get better in ten and a half months.
Mother Li smiled and said: "That's not what I said, everyone has an old day."
"Speaking of it, thanks to Yuxi for letting me come to Jiangnan. Otherwise, I will always feel tight in the chest and short of breath, and this day is also sad." Yuxi sent Qiu to Jiangnan that day to help her recuperate. These years in Jiangnan, Qiu's life is comfortable. When the mood is good, the body will naturally follow.
Thinking of what happened when he was young, the Qiu family sighed a little: "How could I have thought of having a good life now!" Before, it was often sad for her husband to pet the concubine room.
Mother Li complimented: "This is your blessing, old lady."
"To talk about blessing, it is Yuxi. Me and Jianming are also in her light." Having said that, the Qiu family said: "After returning to Beijing, we have to go to Lingshan Temple to offer incense. The monk Litong said back then. Yuxi is a hit with a decline, but Master Puyuan said that Yuxi is a blessed person." Facts have proved that it is Master Puyuan's words that are more effective.
If the Qiu family didn't say this, she had forgotten: "It's time to go to incense." Over the years, the Qiu family donated incense money to the temple not knowing how much.
The ship walked for six days, and stopped at a place called Shuangping Port that day, ready to rest here for one night before setting off.
In recent years, Jiangnan has not been very peaceful, Zhong Minxiu often listened to many things outside by Mrs. Zhong's side.
Hearing that he was about to spend the night at the pier, Zhong Minxiu called Han Gao over: "Uncle Han, I heard that there are many water bandits in this area. Is it safe for us to spend the night here?" Although Han Gao is only a servant, Zhong Minxiu Have a lot of respect for him. Every time I saw him, I was very polite.
Han Gao respectfully said: "The mistress can rest assured that the water bandits in this area have been wiped out."
That's the case, but Zhong Minxiu is still not at ease: "At night, let's arrange more people to watch the night! After all, the old lady is on the boat, if it scares her old people, it will be bad." Scaring Qiu is more than bad. I'm afraid that the princess will be furious if she knows.
Han Gao nodded and replied, "Okay."
The water and fruits and vegetables stored on the ship were almost consumed. This time I was docked to purchase supplies. Otherwise, Zhong Minxiu will persuade Qiu to let the boat not dock.
At night, Zhong Minxiu lay in bed and couldn't sleep, and worried that the water bandits would come. As for Brother Chang, the two have slept separately since Zhong Minxiu became pregnant. On the boat, there is no one.
Lotus said: "Mr. Han, Guan Shi said that the water bandits have been wiped out. What are you worried about?"
"Who knows if it comforts me?" It is also Zhong Minxiu who has heard too many water bandits murdering people. After hearing it too much, it fell into the shadows. Now I live on the dock, how can I sleep securely.
"This..." In fact, lotus is also quite scared, but she still relieved Zhong Minxiu: "Mistress, it's no use worrying about you here! Besides, it's just one night, and we'll leave tomorrow morning, and nothing will happen."
"Strange, father-in-law said that he would be here two or three days late. It has been six days now, why hasn't it arrived yet?" Isn't something wrong
Zhong Minxiu shuddered at the thought of this. Father-in-law is the pillar of the family, if he is gone, the sky of the Han family will collapse.
The lotus has been busy for a few times. If there is a custom in the folks to say unlucky words and quickly drank it, it will not be fulfilled.
"Mistress, don't think about it. With so many guards and entourage around the old man, it will definitely be fine." Han Jianming was also assassinated, so he paid great attention to his own safety. To put it bluntly, even if something happens to them, Han Jianming will be fine.
"Maybe I thought a lot!" She has become a little sensitive since she became pregnant.
If that's the case, I still can't fall asleep when lying down. She didn't go to sleep until it got light. (.)
