Chapter 496

The two old men quarreled, and Ah Xi was responsible for the work of the mediator and mediated the two. After three days of mediation, the two of them barely got along.

During this period, Ah Xi said to Brother Ah Zhen mysteriously, "I told my mother that I felt that my stomach sometimes was blowing bubbles. My mother said that it was moving the fetus and the child would move."

Ji Zhen was shocked and asked, "Why didn't you tell me? Oh, why didn't I feel it!" The novice father Ji Zhen has been waiting for the baby's fetal movement for several months. He would greet his children every night and touch his wife's belly to feel the movements of his children, although he couldn't feel anything.

Ah Xi said, "It's not a big deal, I thought it was bloating at first."

Ji Zhen hurriedly touched again, and then swears, "It's moving."

Ah Xi opened his hand and smiled, "That's the movement of my breathing, it's not the child moving at all."

"No, it must be the child moving." Ji Zhen insisted that she felt the children's fetal movements.

So, on the same day, he wrote a letter to his family. Yes, A Xi said that when he was not sure that the gender of the child in his belly must be twins, he should not write letters to his parents-in-law for the time being, so as not to be happy for the elders. Ji Zhen responded to it, but how could he hold back the good news about his wife's pregnancy? He was so frustrated that he would not show off to his colleagues. How could his parents bear it? Ji Zhen had already written three letters to show off his family's twins.

Because Ji Zhen frequently wrote letters home, his relationship with his parents was much closer. It is said that because Ji Zhen had been in the Jiang family since he was a child, he was sent to the imperial capital by his father to continue his studies and to show his loyalty. Because he was born well, he was not very popular with his father when he was a child. When Ji Zhen grew up, Ji Rong had many knots untied because he was old. I wanted to ease his relationship with his eldest son. Ji Zhen had no intention of ease with his father at all. Yes, although Ji Zhen was born in a beautiful place, he looked good on weekdays, but he was actually a little stubborn.

Now it’s different. His wife is pregnant with twins. Ji Zhen has nowhere to show off, so he writes letters to his home. He sends letters to his home every time every three days. Fortunately, his family has a lot of people, otherwise he can’t afford to send this letter alone.

Today, Ji Zhen showed off the news that children could move their fetal movements again, and said that they had noses and eyes. For example, if they don’t move, they can move as soon as they touch them. The one who is lively and likes to move is his son, and the one who is shy of Wenjing is his daughter. Well, even when his parents read Ji Zhen’s letter, they felt that his son’s trust is not reliable, so Mrs. Ji raised objections, "Maybe Wenjing is his grandson, and the one who is lively is his granddaughter."

Since Ji Rong learned that his wife was pregnant with twins, she has been in a complicated mood. Now when she heard his wife talk about her grandchildren, Ji Rong said, "It's all good."

Mrs. Ji read her son's letter from beginning to end, then folded it up and put it back in the envelope, and said, "Azhen and Axi are both good-looking, and the children they gave birth to are not bad. Look at Axi and his brothers and sisters, they have outstanding appearances." Then, a strong woman like Mrs. Ji also began to fantasize about her life as a grandmother. Mrs. Ji said, "I don't know if our grandchildren will be like Axi and his brothers and sisters in the future."

Ji Rong, "Anyway, it's not ugly whether you look like your father or your mother."

"That's right." Mrs. Ji said, "Azhen said that his wife is next spring. I have to go over and take a look at it. Otherwise, we are so far away, so there are few people who are there. Although there is no need to worry about Jiang's family, I really want to see what my grandchildren look like." Then, he praised his son's good eyes and said to her husband, "I was really doing the right thing to ask Azhen to go to study at that time. Otherwise, I would also meet him.

I didn't see Ah Xi. Ah Xi was well-behaved, and the most important thing was that Ah Zhen liked her. Since Ah Zhen got married, she sent more than ten times more letters than before. She had never known a letter for several months, but she had become a marriage. She sent people to send letters every few days. The wife is virtuous and Ah Zhen is also sensible." Mrs. Ji firmly believes that a good wife will have a good impact on her son. The letters her son kept sending people to her house are evidence.

Although Ji Rong was not close to his son, he still knew his eldest son very well. Ji Rong said, "Maybe he just wanted to show off."

Mrs. Ji laughed, "Showing off is also showing off to her parents, and she will not show off to others." So she discussed with her husband to give her some supplements to her daughter-in-law.

Ji Rong pretended to be very casual, "I didn't have the brocade silk cotton that His Majesty gave me before. I saw a few pieces of cotton cloth, which were very soft and could make close-fitting clothes for the child. There were also a few pieces of satin, which were very bright. Wouldn't it be nice to make skirts and jackets for my granddaughter in the future?"

Mrs. Ji slapped her face, "If you don't remind me, I really forgot that those few pieces of cotton cloth are pretty good, with fine texture, close and soft body, and children are delicate, so they have to wear this one."

Seeing that his opinion was adopted by his wife, Ji Rong pretended to be reserved and slightly slight jaw-headed.

Mrs. Ji sent someone to deliver things, and in the reply letter, she specifically mentioned her husband's words to her son and daughter-in-law, saying that the cotton cloth was the one you father picked and cut clothes for the child. When Ah Xi spoke to Grandfather Chaoyun, she also said, "My father-in-law looks extremely majestic, but she is actually quite careful."

Chaoyun's grandfather said, "If this warrior can become a famous general, there is no carelessness."

Luo Daru and Tao, "Arong is determined by nature, but he is not good at speaking, and he values ​​feelings and righteousness in his heart."

Grandfather Chaoyun heard this and forced himself to roll his eyes.

A Xi complained to Brother Azhen, "I told him that when I was very sure it was a twin, and then asked him to write a letter to his parents-in-law, he couldn't help but write more than ten letters on his back. His parents-in-law now all decided that I was pregnant with twins. If I gave birth to twins, I would be embarrassed."

"What's so embarrassing about this? I'm sorry to have two at a time. Is it mean that if one gives birth to one, can you live?" Chaoyun's grandfather said, "You are so cautious, you really look like A Nian. Doctor Dou is not 70% sure and will not say anything anymore. Since he said it, it must be a twin."

Ah Xi is pregnant. Every day, she is not only sitting in the fertility, but also sitting in Grandpa Chaoyun, or going back to her parents' home to visit her parents, and then going to her home. This time, before she went to her home, she heard the gossip about returning to the Li family. When her sister-in-law Su Bing came over to talk, she said to her, "I have always said that Sanniang is impatient, and she doesn't know how to be more stable when she has a body, so she almost makes herself angry."

A Xi quickly asked, "What's wrong? But what happened? I haven't been to my grandmother's place these days."

Su Bing said, "It was what my grandmother said when she came to our house, otherwise, I wouldn't know. After Sanniang was pregnant, she has been doing well. Old Lady Li and Mrs. Li are all in the imperial capital. Sanniang has a stable womb and often goes to visit her elders. Something happened to her family recently, which made Sanniang very angry."

"What the hell is it? Don't suck my appetite." A Xi urged.

"Don't I have to first understand the causes and consequences to tell you." Su Bing has always been a logical person, saying, "Didn't Princess Shouyi and Prince Ouyang return to the imperial capital to report their duties? Mrs. Li and Prince Ouyang are the relatives of brothers. Just because she knew that Prince Ouyang returned to the court, Mrs. Li did not go to Jinzhong with Governor Li, but stayed in the imperial capital to meet Prince Ouyang."

"I know this. I also heard from Sanniang that Prince Ouyang treats her very close to her aunt's sister, and Princess Shouyi is also very good."

"Yes." Su Bing peeled a piece of plum candy and put it in his mouth, saying, "It was good first, but the matter was on the second lady. Prince Ouyang's body has not been very good. She has had hair with the eldest princess for many years and had only one son. Think about it, Princess Shouyi has so much treasure his son. This Prince Ouyang is also outstanding..." Su Bing will not be able to talk about what happened next.

A Xi widened her eyes and whispered, "It's not that the second lady is interested in Mr. Ouyang, right? This generation is not right. Mr. Ouyang has to call her cousin in terms of seniority."

"It's not Mr. Ouyang." Su Bing said, "I have to go forward to this matter. Before the eldest princess married Mr. Ouyang, she had a marriage. The eldest princess was named Qin. The eldest princess saw through the world and became a monk. Later, she died of illness. The eldest princess was a matchmaker by Emperor Renzong and remarried Mr. Ouyang. The eldest princess and the eldest princess had a son named Qin Feng. The second lady fell in love with Mr. Qin. She wrote a poem and asked Mr. Ouyang to report it. The eldest princess knew about this matter, which made the eldest princess very angry.

, that is, for the sake of the prince-consort, it did not happen. But he privately ordered the female official to personally submit the poem to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li was sick and still couldn't get up now. The eldest lady and the third lady grew up with Mrs. Li since childhood. How could they not be anxious? They also annoyed that the second lady did such an indecent thing. The third lady was so angry that she couldn't even eat. When her grandmother came over, she was also very angry when she talked about this. You said, isn't this second lady a grievance in her previous life? It's embarrassing to follow her."

Ah Xi couldn't understand Li Erniang's thoughts. She said, "Although Mr. Qin's biological father has passed away, he is the son of the eldest princess. If the Qin family can reign as a lord, he must be a prominent family. Furthermore, the princess's sons all have titles. Even if she likes Mr. Qin, she should ask her family to ask her seriously. Is Mr. Qin interested in her so much? "

"If Mr. Qin is interested in her, it's fine. Since such a thing happened, Mr. Ouyang's concubine must be asked to make a comeback. The key is that Mr. Qin has no other intentions about her."

"Then she's crazy."

"Who knows." Su Bing also sighed, "My sister-in-law and Sanniang were both angry about this, and were very worried about Mrs. Li's health. Originally, Mrs. Ouyang sent the imperial doctor from the princess's house to treat Mrs. Li. In the past, it was okay. It was my younger brother caring about my sister. But Mrs. Li was sick because of this. When she saw the imperial doctor from the princess's house, wouldn't she feel even more dull? My grandmother came to her and told her mother that she wanted to ask the imperial doctor to come over to treat Mrs. Li. After all, Mrs. Li was old. When we were in Beichang Mansion, she was so cool that she was not worth it."

"Yes." A Xi sighed and said, "In terms of reason, we should go to visit, but if she wants the most face, she is afraid that she will be too careless if she is in the past. However, if we don't go, wouldn't it look deserted and desolate?"

Su Bing said, "That's the reason. I thought, why don't we give some supplements, just tell Mrs. Li privately that we should not mention the prescription with the old lady."

"That's good." Ah Xi nodded, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law discussed what to give.

This is why Su Bing came here. She was worried that her sister-in-law would not know that Mrs. Li was sick, so she came over and said, so that the two families would not be rude in private.

Mrs. Li was very angry. In the words of Mrs. Li, "I wish I could not get up in one breath and die directly."

Ouyang Jing advised the elder sister, "This is not worth mentioning, and my sister is really relieved."

Because Mrs. Li is the eldest sister and Ouyang Jing is the youngest brother, the siblings have had a good relationship since childhood. Mrs. Li sighed, "In my life, I value face the most, and I have such unworthy descendants. Alas, I didn't teach my children well after all."

Ouyang Jing is over 40 years old, with a white face and no need to beauties, thin and weak. He only looks at his appearance. Anyone is a scholar and scholar. He absolutely cannot connect him with a real-powerful person in charge of Jiangnan Port. Ouyang Jing's fingers are still thin and white. He slowly peeled a purple grape and sent it to his sister's mouth. Mrs. Li didn't even look strong all her life, and she couldn't stand this, saying, "I'm so old, don't do this."

Ouyang Jing's hand moved forward, and the old lady Li had to open her mouth to eat, and the noodles were a little embarrassed.

Ouyang Jing said, "A Feng's marriage..."

As soon as my younger brother got up, Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Don't mention it. If you mention this again, I will be embarrassed."

"I didn't say I asked Afeng to marry the second wife." Ouyang Jing never considered whether Li Erniang was good. This was the granddaughter of his sister's family. Although he and Qin Feng had no blood relatives, they had a very good relationship after getting along over the years. Ouyang Jing said, "Originally, when he was in Jiangnan, the princess had seen several ladies from the family. What I mean, why not ask the Empress Dowager to point out Afeng's marriage."

Mrs. Li is of course very good at her age. Mrs. Li thought about it and nodded, "This is a good idea." She said to her younger brother, "You are in Jiangnan and you are in charge of two harbors. These two harbors are the golden hens of the court, which are already jealous. If an ordinary person has no trouble in marriage in Jiangnan, you should be more cautious. Even Erlang's marriage, you should also consider it."

Ouyang Jing nodded and then said, "The eldest lady's marriage is good, why did the second lady's marriage delay? Although she is a concubine, it is cheap for a wealthy family." Ouyang Jing is a man, and he is clear in every way and will never be indulged in love. Like Li Erniang, Ouyang Jing's position is to marry a wealthy family, or marry a wealthy family. Compared with the two, it is the most affordable to marry a wealthy family.

Speaking of this granddaughter, Mrs. Li was so angry that she told her younger brother, "The eldest lady and the third lady were all with me since she was a child. When I got old, I naturally arranged for them. Later, the boss sent the second lady to me and said that she was here to be filial to me. She was naturally very kind, and because of her illegitimate birth, she thought a lot, and always felt that I was biased towards the eldest lady and the third lady. At that time, Sanlang of the He family had already passed the juren. Although the second lady was a illegitimate birth, she still made it. She didn't want to, and felt that this marriage was insulting her. The forced melon was not sweet, and I was not the unreasonable grandmother. I saw that although the He family was not high, the family population was simple, and the children were all promoted by their abilities to the imperial examination. She was not happy, but the third lady was willing. Tell me, in terms of identity, the third lady was still a legitimate birth. At that time, He

Sanlang passed the Jinshi. Look, now the third lady is smooth and the couple lives a harmonious life. The eldest lady's marriage was the wife of Governor Su who fell in love with the eldest lady. At that time, both of us were officials in Beichang Prefecture. Our two families were well-off. The Su family was descended from Su Wenzhong, and Su Erlang also had fame. I and your brother-in-law were good at Su Erlang, so the marriage between the two families was settled. At that time, she was a little envious of the eldest lady's marriage.

But this is not useful to envy. The Su family didn't like her. Later, I told her several marriages, but she was always unwilling to do so, so I sent her back to her parents. So, I followed your brother-in-law to report on his duties, and made new plans, and also took care of the eldest lady's marriage. The eldest lady came to arrange the marriage between the two girls, and she followed her, but she did such a scandal."

Ouyang Jing said, "With her personality, she can find a concubine's son to marry in a wealthy family."

"If I were just fighting with my sisters in the past, it would be just a matter of being stupid and not being able to understand. If she is lawless, don't blame me for being a grandmother." Mrs. Li directly removed Mrs. Li and her biological mother from the genealogy. She personally wrote to her son and told her that the Li family would never be ashamed of such a shameful thing in the future! As for what Mrs. Li Er will do, no one knows what will happen to her in the future, because no matter whether it is a relative like Ah Xi and Su Bing, or a sister like Mrs. Li San, he has never heard of any news about Mrs. Li.

Princess Shouyi heard about this from her husband's consort, and it was not easy to be cold-hearted with the Li family. Princess Shouyi said, "It is said that a hundred people have a temperament, so what are the ways for elders? If we say, it would be better for all girls in the world to be like the eldest lady and the third lady."

The aesthetics of normal people are consistent, and Princess Shouyi has a good impression of the eldest lady of the Li family. I think that Madam Li is just a concubine who is not allowed to be on the table and has no knowledge... Since the Li family has dealt with it, Princess Shouyi is fine.

After this incident, Mrs. Li stopped staying in the imperial capital for a long time after she was healthy. She quit her younger brother's family and went to Jinzhong to reunite with her husband.

If it weren't for the incident of Li Er's wife, Princess Shouyi's evaluation of her elder sister-in-law Mrs. Li was good. As soon as Mrs. Li left, Princess Shouyi also said, "How could a person like her elder sister marry into a poor family?" It's not that she has a prejudice against poor families, but the long-standing family tradition of the aristocratic clans is stronger than that of poor families in the education of their children. Princess Shouyi's opinion is that although Governor Li's official rank is not low now, his teaching is very average in children's teaching.

Ouyang Jing said, "After my mother gave birth to my elder sister, she had not given birth for many years. At that time, my father loved an aunt very much. After she had suffered enough of her aunt's hardship, she was determined to tell her that her elder sister a quiet family. Her eldest brother-in-law was also a talented person in the village at that time and was also very kind. My mother insisted on making the decision to give her elder sister a brother-in-law. As soon as the elder sister's marriage was settled, my mother suddenly became pregnant and later gave birth to me. When she gave birth to me, she was older and lacked energy, and when she was young, she was mostly taken care of me by my elder sister."

"There is one advantage and one disadvantage." Princess Shouyi sighed and said to her husband, "There is another thing. The damn Qin family, the marriage between Afeng has not yet been decided, and someone has found Afeng to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown!" Princess Shouyi said that she passed away after becoming a monk. However, based on the tone of the eldest princess mentioning the Qin family, she knew that there must be hidden stories about the Qin princess' passing.

Ouyang Jing thought for a while and said, "A Feng's marriage is bound to be in charge, and he will definitely be in the officialdom. It is not uncommon for the Qin family to come to him. Let A Feng make the decision by himself."

Princess Shouyi said, "If he can make up his mind, he will not discuss it with me."

"Since you can't make up your mind for a moment, it's okay to put it aside." Ouyang Jing said, "The Qin family is not worth worrying at the moment. If his family is prominent, it will not be possible to come to the door as soon as Afeng arrived at the imperial capital. Afeng is too old, so he should slowly learn to weigh and make decisions."

Princess Shouyi said, "When I think of the Qin surname, I'm so angry that I'm not going to be angry. It's up to me to tell A Feng about this matter, I'm afraid that I can't suppress my fire when I open my mouth. You'd better tell him in detail, Humph, the Qin family just wanted to climb up without a ladder, so they came to A Feng."
