Chapter 402 Xie Jiaqi
The girl’s eyebrows were quite similar to Xie Yiren’s, and she was very pretty and cute.
But unlike Xie Yiren’s dignified and tranquil demeanor, she is very lively and cheerful, just as Jiang Mubai said, and is not afraid of the stage. The woman was very generous and came up to Song Yixiao to salute her, and said sweetly, “When I was in Qingzhou, I heard my mother read a letter from her family, and I knew that my sister had a good friend with both talent and appearance, and that she was the most gentle and kind-hearted, graceful and elegant, and that she would be this sister Song!”
“Told you, it’s time to do the state ceremony first!” Xie Yi Ren rubbed her forehead and said, “Where are the promised rules?”
“Cousin-in-law, please don’t be so outgoing!” Song Yixiao busily said, “Jiaqi is willing to make out with me, I’m more than happy!” Saying this, she looked at herself – she didn’t know that Xie Yi Ren would bring her sister here, so naturally she hadn’t prepared a gift.
Well here is the Duke of Yan’s residence, a few pleasantries, busy Xie sisters toward the back of the hall, the road Xie Jiaqi did not much to interrupt, only listening to Xie Yiren and Song Yixiao speak, this quiet but let Song Yixiao high look at her, thought, “No wonder can be pleasing to the Empress of Wei like, I think it is only simple will say sweet words will make trouble, but the original is also very aware of the advancement of the retrogression. ”
Although Xie Jiaqi was cute and sweet-talking, it was the first time she had come to the Duke of Yan’s residence, and Song Yixiao was still in mourning, so she definitely wouldn’t like it to be too noisy.
If she relied on her young age and good looks to make a name for herself, Song Yixiao, even if she didn’t get tired of her, would only treat her as a little kid who could talk a little nicely, and just pass her by perfunctorily.
This will see her well-behaved, but secretly marvel at the Xie family tutelage, this time to say when said, the shut up when shut up, not caught in the wind regardless of the three seven out, is a serious girl should have the connotation of it!
To the back of the hall, Song Yixiao gave Chichang a wink, Chichang went in to fetch a pair of ringing bracelets out, Song Yixiao took with Xie Jiaqi as a gift, Xie Jiaqi did not excuse herself, smiled and said thank you, took it and immediately put it on – Song Yixiao took a shallow sip of tea, and only then asked Xie Yiren, “I see that cousin sister-in-law is looking better and better, but the past two days are not very pregnant. I see that cousin sister-in-law’s color is getting better and better, but she hasn’t been very pregnant these past two days?”
“Yes!” Xie Yiren now smiles when she mentions topics related to pregnancy, this is because Yun Aunt had shown her in private before, saying that this baby is a boy, but she herself doesn’t value boys over girls, but there has been no news since she entered the family. Nine is a boy, she herself does not emphasize sons over daughters, but there has been no news since she entered the door, and several of her father-in-law’s aunts have been there trying to stir up trouble, so she naturally hopes to give birth to a male heir as soon as possible, so that she can solidify her position.
At this moment, she smiled and said, “Speaking of which, thanks to Yun Aunt, earlier I vomited all over the place, and the prescription she prescribed was fine after only two times!”
Saying this, he looked around and said, “Hehe, where is Qing Yue? I brought this monkey here today to show her what a proper young lady should look like!”
“Qing Yue is now still small, so when she grows up, she will have to make a fuss!” Song Yixiao smiled as she ordered someone to carry her daughter over, and laughed, “Besides, children, it’s better for them to be lively, so that their bodies and bones are also strong, right?”
“This one in our family is no farce.” Xie Yi Ren pointed at Xie Jia Qi and said, “She’s ah every day at home without the use of gongs and drums to make a fuss!”
Xie Jiaqi was made fun of by her sister in public, but she wasn’t ashamed, and only said in a serious manner: ”Sister, you’re not right! Our house is just a state government house, how can we compare it to the heavenly palace? Even if I’m not well read, I’ve been to the palace and seen a real palace, you can’t lie to me like this!”
This comment made everyone in the hall laugh, and Xie Yi Ren shook her head and lost her smile, “I can’t say anything about you, but it’s true that where you are there’s less fuss!”
“Grandfather also said that the house was too cold, and that it was only after I came back that it became popular!” Xie Jiaqi expressed her disbelief, “Sister, you’re used to being dignified and are too embarrassed to make trouble with the elders, so isn’t it good to have me to cheer them up on your behalf?”
After those two words, Jian Qingyue was also led over – she greeted the Xie sisters in a milky voice, and then went over to Song Yixiao’s lap for a hug.
Song Yixiao remembered yesterday’s incident and hummed, ”Aren’t you good with your father? Wait for your father to come back and hug you! What are you still looking for me for?”
Having said that, looking at his daughter’s pitiful appearance, in the end, he still took her onto his lap.
“Why is sister-in-law jealous of fourth cousin?” Xie Yi Ren heard the mystery and asked with a smile, “But Qing Yue is biased?”
“Where’s the favoritism? It’s like treating me like a steward!” Song Yixiao stretched out her finger to point at her daughter’s brow, and told her what happened yesterday, and hated to say, “You said that obviously I spend a lot of time with her, and that Husband comes to the backyard every day to see her, so why is she so attached to Husband, and doesn’t kiss me?”
Xie Yiren laughed and stumbled when she heard it, saying, “I say it’s been a day, why are you still so angry? Qing Yue’s heart is biased to the heavens – if I were you, I’d be annoyed with her too!”
The two of them casually spoke a few more words, and Xie Yiren swept her sister’s eyes and said, “Children all like to play together, and I don’t know if Qing Yue can stand this monkey in my house!”
“Sister called me monkey everywhere, carefully people think my milk name is monkey!” Xie Jiaqi sniffed, dissatisfied, “When the time comes, people will think that the names of the full sisters are all of the same kind, so they may think that your breast name is similar, such as suede ah roe deer ah rabbit ah what – does it sound good?”
Song Yixiao could see that Xie Yi Ren was trying to send the child out to talk, so she put Jian Qingyue back on the ground and laughed, “If my Qingyue were to be given a nickname, it would be ‘heartless’!”
Jane Qing Yue would not want to stand by herself, seeing this, tugging at the hem of her skirt, continuing to beg for a hug – Xie Jia Qi, however, had already walked over, smilingly touched her head, saying, “Qing Yue nephew daughter, come and go out with auntie, auntie will take you to catch butterflies to play!”
She coaxed the originally reluctant Jian Qingyue out in three tries, Song YiXiao couldn’t help but say when she saw this, “JiaQi really has a way of dealing with children, it’s hard to believe that she would be so good at coaxing a child at such a young age!”
“This is exactly why I led her here today.” Yi Ren Xie put down her tea bowl and said, “I heard Aunt Yun say that County Mistress Xinling has been silent these days and is becoming less and less talkative?”
Song Yi smiled and sighed, “Isn’t that so?” Glancing at Xie Jiaqi, who was already leading Jian Qingyue in a game in the court, her heart fluttered, “What does cousin-in-law mean?”
“Jiaqi has a natural ability to coax children, and she is a smiling and playful nature. I’m thinking about whether or not to have her accompany County Lord Xinling.” Xie Yiren sincerely said, “You’ve been helping me all these years, and there’s not much I can do to help you, not to mention that the Xie family doesn’t have any children as old as Jiaqi, so why don’t we just let them look around together, what do you think?”
If Song Yixiao hadn’t heard Jiang Muzhe mention that Xie Jiaqi had already caught the eye of Mrs. Xu, she might have thought that Xie Yiren did want to find a playmate for her younger sister.
But since she knows that this Xie Jiaqi has coaxed the Empress Wei and Princess Xu in the palace, including the equally young King of Shu, how could she not know that such a naturally delicate girl, and the first granddaughter of the Duke of Laiguo’s house, would have fewer playmates?
Rushing to the Empress Wei like her this point, there have to be people hope that their own young daughter with her piece, or light into the eyes of the Empress it!
Xie Yi Ren came here, but she was determined to help.
“Jiaqi is willing to play with Thrive, I naturally can’t wait.” Song Yixiao thought for a moment, waved off the crowd, and said softly, “But as you know, the Jian family has recently been discussing this matter of succession. Yesterday, my husband came over and told me that he said that the whole family might have to make a trip back to Sangzi.”
“It’s always inconvenient to have outsiders around for something like a succession.” Yi Ren Xie sniffed and immediately said, “Although it’s true that you and Fourth Cousin Jian don’t treat County Lord Xinling as an outsider, the rest of the Jian family is different. Furthermore, I heard that county princess’ body is not doing well lately, so why bring her along, according to me? Why don’t you send her to my mother’s family, so she can raise her with Jiaqi? I can assure you that my mother loves children, especially now that my sister-in-law is in charge of the Laiguo Mansion, and she has nothing else to do but watch over my sister, so she has a lot of time on her hands, and she complained that my sister-in-law didn’t want to leave the child in her care, and felt that it wasn’t a good idea for her to be idle all day! ”
Song Yixiao could see that she was mainly feeling guilty for borrowing Yun Gu in the first place, which was why she was trying to find ways to hopefully make amends.
She thought for a moment and sighed: ”I naturally believe cousin-in-law. But I haven’t met your father and your mother, so to disturb them like this is really hard to feel at ease – furthermore, this time when we go back, we definitely have to bring Yun Aunt with us, and Thrive’s body has always been tempered by Yun Aunt. So, I can’t help but bring this child with me!”
Xie Yiren was quite sorry to hear that, but still said, “In any case, you haven’t moved yet, so if it’s convenient for county princess Xinling, why don’t we let Jiaqi look around with her today? If you don’t mind Jiaqi’s antics, I think children still need to be accompanied by playmates of a similar age in order to be happy.”
“Thank you for your trouble, cousin-in-law!” Song Yi smiled gratefully and called in the subordinates, ordering them to guide Xie Jiaqi to Lu Zhuo’er’s courtyard, “My younger sister is not only not very talkative nowadays, but she is also not very willing to go out of the courtyard she lives in, so I can only entrust Jiaqi with this.”
Originally, although Lu Zhuo’er was a county princess, she was young and living in her sister’s house, so she should have come to the back hall to meet the guests.
But this little county princess is not happy with noise after being stimulated, and is very frightened every time she goes out of the courtyard – Song Yixiao is afraid of scaring her, so she doesn’t dare to force her, and this will naturally only allow Xie Jiaqi to go over there, which is a bit of a breach of etiquette.
But naturally, Xie Yi Ren wouldn’t care, “Jia Qi likes movement but not quietness, so she’d be happier to let her go over there on her own.”
This day, the Xie sisters stayed in the Duke of Yan’s residence until dusk before leaving, Song Yixiao personally sent them away, busy to see Lu Zhuoer – the girl is still quiet, in addition to calling “sister”, refused to open their mouths.
Song Yixiao saw that she was holding a grasshopper woven from grass blades and tried, “Did your little sister Xie give you this?”
Lu Thuo Er didn’t answer, didn’t even nod or shake her head, just looked at the grasshopper blandly, like she didn’t hear her sister ask.
“Give it to her to put away properly later, don’t fail to find it next time.” Song Yixiao guided her to talk for a while longer, seeing that it had little effect, she sighed, reached out to touch her head, and instructed her left and right.
The following day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and since Emperor Duanhua was still in mourning for Emperor Xianjia, it was impossible to make a big deal out of this festival like last year.
The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the 16th day of the 8th month, was the birthday of Emperor Duanhua – the same reason why there would be no big event.
However, how not to do, due to the empress dowager’s sake, the palace in the end set up a vegetarian feast, will be close to the clan branch, the eldest princess mother and son and so on invited to go, at least under the lively, so that the empress dowager happy point.
After these two days of socializing, the matter of succession was formalized, and the day of returning to Mulberry was proposed five days later.
Jane family in the imperial capital of the two houses to go back, but the Jin State Grand Princess is not among them. The eldest princess and Jane Li Kuang’s feelings have long existed in name only, but the new into the house of a few male favorites is on the heart, since the intolerance of this kind of tossing. So the public said due to the Empress Dowager’s health is not very good this year, the eldest princess is concerned about their own mother, do not dare to stay away from, but also afraid of their own identity is noble, went to the Mulberry, the clamor for the main, called Jane’s family up and down with her busy.
It’s to just not go.
Of course we all know in our hearts what the truth is.
In addition to the Grand Princess, the two houses of the Jane family were all busy.
Song Yixiao in the end decided to bring his sister back and forth, Jian Xubai heard, specially to help go to discuss with Hengshan King – Hengshan King also knows that the royal family is not now the top of the mother, the daughter received back may not be able to take care of, it is better to ask her to follow the same mother sister.
After all, Yan Guo Gongfu’s eldest young lady, Jane Qing Yue, is now only two years old, younger than Lu Zhuo’er, and since Jian Xubai and his wife took their daughter with them, they certainly did not say that they could not take good care of a Lu Zhuo’er.
So Hengshan Wang very quickly agreed to let his daughter follow the Jane family back and forth, and that day also sent a generous gift to the Duke of Yan’s residence, as the Duke of Yan’s residence on the care of Lu Zhuoer’s reward.
The next day, Song YiXiao was directing the people underneath to organize their traveling clothes, when a little maid came to report outside, “Hengshan Wangfu’s eldest young lady has given birth to a little male child!”
“Prepare a gift!” Song Yixiao busied herself, “I have to go and congratulate you – bring Thuo’er here too, let her come with me!”
–To put aside before, she will be busy, let the bottom of the trip is just, after all, she and Kong’s not really very familiar. But now the birth mother is gone, in order to younger siblings can get sister-in-law care some, she this sister can not help but to be more attentive.
Besides, she really should have taken the time to make a trip to the Hengshan royal residence: the matter of Mama Bo’s betrayal of her when she was at Cuihua Mountain was still unresolved!
