The next day, news came from Ningguo Mansion that Qin Keqing, the young mistress of Ningguo Mansion, was pregnant. It is definitely a great event for Ningguo Mansion. Ningguo Mansion has not had any children imported for nearly thirty years.
Li Miao received an invitation from Ningguo Mansion, which was going to hold a grand banquet. Invite guests and friends to a banquet. Li Miao was stunned at that time. His family knew about his family affairs. Ever since Li Miao established the foundation, his seeds have not been very effective. His wives and concubines were almost silent.
Why did Qin Keqing get pregnant so quickly? Could it be because he is a scholar of Jintan enlightenment? It can resolve the fate of the five generations of Ningguo Mansion. In fact, Li Miao has long believed in the predictions made by Taoist Maoshan.
Now Li Miao is in a dilemma, whether to attend the banquet at Ningguo Mansion or not. This time Ningguo Mansion invited not only Li Miao himself, but also his wives and concubines. The scene is really quite big. It is estimated that Rongguo Mansion was also invited.
Li Miao really didn't want to see Jia Zhen's joking eyes. There are also the resentful looks in his wives and concubines. Li Miao could ignore Jia Zhen's eyes. Refuse to admit it. Even Jia Zhen was confused.
Li Miao's own wives and concubines could not be fooled. When they met Qin Keqing, everything became obvious. This has always been Li Miao's biggest headache. When it comes to women, he has almost no secrets in front of his own woman.
In the end, Li Miao decided to go. Some things cannot be avoided. You have to face it sooner or later. So sooner rather than later. This is the case with many things, and you can only take the initiative by facing it positively. Avoiding will only make things worse.
As for Qin Keqing announcing her pregnancy so early, Li Miao probably had the same idea. Besides, Youshi saw through it, so he didn’t want to be an ostrich, so he just revealed his trump card. Li Miao also had to admire Qin Keqing's decisiveness.
Qin Keqing escaped privately last night. Obviously, he doesn't want to have too much to do with Li Miao just yet. Of course Li Miao will follow her wishes. Just pretend nothing happened. But Li Miao will still take care of it secretly.
After all, Qin Keqing will soon be the mother of his own child. Li Miao's treatment as a head wife will soon be in place. Qin Keqing's dowry was also very shabby. These days, generous dowries are the foundation for women to establish themselves in their husband's family. I believe Qin Keqing will not refuse.
At this time, Yuanyang came to Li's Mansion to deliver an invitation. In the study of Li's Mansion, Li Miao looked at Yuanyang playfully. The freckles on Yuanyang's face turned red. Yuanyang has always been steady and dignified, but the freckles on her face make her look more playful and cute.
Yuanyang is neither too old nor too young, and seventeen is indeed not too old. But he is also past the age of hair extensions. It's long past time to get married. But Yuanyang, as the first person around Mrs. Shi, is equivalent to the secretary to the board of directors in future generations. Mrs. Shi cannot do without her.
So mandarin ducks are both lucky and unfortunate. Lucky because Yuanyang has a high status in Rongguo Mansion. Even the master of Rongguo Mansion had to give her face. Even look at her face. Even Wang Xifeng has to call her Sister Yuanyang.
She said she was unfortunate because her life-long event must have been delayed. No matter how much Mrs. Shi loves her, she will not let her go. Therefore, it is doomed that Yuanyang will have great success in the era of Mrs. Shi, but in the era of post-Grandma Shi, she may be alone for the rest of her life.
Li Miao has enough women around her now, but she doesn't have any mental burden on accepting mandarin ducks. Yuanyang is destined to serve Mrs. Shi until she grows old. Li Miao was also helping her by taking her in. Wait until Mrs. Shi returns to the west before entering the Li Mansion.
Li Miao had just comforted Xue Baochai the day before yesterday. I happened to meet Jia She in the alley and wanted to molest the mandarin duck. Li Miao appeared instantly and solved the mandarin duck's crisis.
Jia She was also a little confused, so he actually asked Mrs. Shi to take Yuanyang as his concubine. How could Mrs. Shi agree? So, when Jia She got the opportunity, he wanted to molest the mandarin duck, and even wanted to cook the raw rice into cooked rice.
To say that Jia She coveted Yuanyang's beauty, I wouldn't believe it even if I killed Li Miao. As Jia Mu's most valued maid, Yuanyang has a waist and slim shoulders, an oval face, black hair, a high nose, and a few freckles on both sides of her cheeks.
From the perspective of this world, I can only say that Yuanyang looks pretty good. But there seemed to be many maids in the Rongguo Mansion who were very good-looking, but Jia She was stubborn and wanted to accept the mandarin ducks. Isn't it because he is thinking about Mrs. Shi's small vault that there is a ghost?
Li Miao estimated that Jia She might have been interested in something rare recently. Money is tight. So, I started to have the idea of mandarin ducks. Li Miao felt that she should take some time to care, don't fall in love with Shi Duozi's fan and end up killing someone.
Li Miao suddenly appeared, and Li Miao's father-in-law fled. Yuanyang was happy and ashamed, and didn't even have time to say thank you. Li Miao carried her into the nearby woods.
The only one to blame was Xue Baochai. Although Li Miao was not arrogant at this time, he was still quite aggrieved. In addition, Li Miao understands Yuanyang's situation.
Yuanyang's parents live in an old house in Jinling. His elder brother Jin Wenxiang is the steward of Jia's mother's house. Yuanyang's family has been slaves in Rongguo Mansion for generations. Therefore, the cause and effect of mandarin ducks is not great.
Yuanyang's elder brother, Jin Wenxiang, was one of the few stewards who survived the dangers during the renovation of Rongguo Mansion. I wonder if it’s because Jin Wenxiang is really different? It’s better for Wang Xifeng to be open-minded. However, Li Miao believes that the latter is more likely.
Then in the grove, Li Miao completed Jia She's unfinished business. Taught Yuanyang how to be a human being.
Afterwards, the two did not communicate verbally. Li Miao just gave her the treatment of a mandarin duck and a concubine. After seeing Yuanyang restraining Daoyun, he left with peace of mind. At this time, Yuanyang was approaching the second level of washing marrow and cutting veins. You should have some ability to protect yourself.
At this time, in the study room, Li Miao looked at Yuanyang's shy look, and his interest increased greatly. He stepped forward and picked up Yuanyang again and went straight to the bedroom. The mandarin ducks also cooperated very much and gave kisses. Yuanyang feels that being able to become Li Miao's woman is a good destination.
So, in the bedroom of Li Miao's study, the two of them were in love and cooperated with each other tacitly. Li Miao used the dual cultivation method this time. Yuanyang felt a different style of life. I quickly became addicted to it.
Afterwards, when Yuanyang saw the invitation from Ningguo Mansion, how could he not know the reason for it. Soon he left Li Miao's study in a bounding motion. At this time, Yuanyang's state of marrow cleansing and vein cutting was close to the seventh level, and his strength increased dramatically. Still a little uncomfortable with it.
Yuanyang hurriedly returned home to report to the old lady. The banquet hosted by Rong Ning's second house crashed. But I guess the old lady has already learned about it. However, as a senior secretary to the board of directors, Yuanyang left quickly with some reluctance and went back to Rongguo Mansion to report.
Li Miao looked at Yuanyang who was leaving in a hurry, considering Yuanyang's current state. It is estimated that Jia She will no longer be able to take advantage of Yuanyang. Probably not even the corner of Yuanyang's clothes could be touched. Li Miao was finally relieved of his love for the mandarin duck.
As for whether the old lady would promise her to someone else, Li Miao didn't have to worry. Even if Jia Baoyu wants a mandarin duck, the old lady probably won't allow it. After all, Mrs. Shi can no longer live without Yuanyang.
Yuanyang quickly returned to Rongqing Hall and reported the whole story to Mrs. Shi. The old lady didn't wait for Yuanyang to finish, she smiled and patted Yuanyang's hand. Seeing beads of sweat on the bridge of Yuanyang's nose, he said distressedly, "I know, I already know."
At this time, Wang Xifeng came in like a storm, holding nine pounds in one hand. Seeing Yuanyang standing behind Mrs. Shi, both of them were stunned. Wang Xifeng was the first to react and gave Yuanyang a sidelong glance. "Hey, Sister Yuanyang, what are you busy with? You're all sweaty."
It can be said that Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang have always had a good relationship. Yuanyang is the secretary of the Dong and a popular person around Mrs. Shi. Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang can be considered a strong alliance.
Wang Xifeng has been very busy these days in renovating Rongguo Mansion. Li Miao kept Ping'er away from her and even ate the mandarin duck. It's strange that Wang Xifeng felt happy. Li Miao accepted Ping'er a few days ago, which is what Wang Xifeng has always hoped for.
But now Li Miao even wants a mandarin duck. Logically speaking, Li Miao shouldn't be such an impatient person. Yes, something must be wrong. If you like someone, you can quickly forgive him. He even made excuses for him.
Wang Xifeng quickly felt relieved and felt that having a sister like Yuanyang was actually quite good. At the very least, it will make it easier for him to better manage Rongguo Mansion in the future. I even felt that Li Miao should be thinking about her.
Yuanyang also quickly calmed down. I thought no wonder Wang Xifeng could hold nine pounds with one hand so easily. Now Yuanyang thinks this is just child's play. I just don’t know whose son Jiu Jin is. Yuanyang was also startled by his sudden idea.
Soon Mrs. Shi's hearty laughter could be heard in Rongqing Hall. With Wang Xifeng, a famous funny person, there is no need to worry about laughter. A group of people began to dress up and prepare for the banquet.
Nowadays, the Rongning Second Mansion has a sufficient treasury after some renovations. The end of the year is almost here, and this year's harvest is beginning to arrive one after another, which is completely different from previous years. In addition, all the unruly slaves were punished. Rongning's second mansion bursts with vitality.
The backyard of the Li Mansion was filled with laughter and laughter. There really were no entertainment programs these days. When they heard that Qin Keqing was pregnant, the girls were also happy for her. The heirs of Ning Guofu are really too thin. Ningguo Mansion invited a banquet. Everyone can finally have fun.
Even the two villains Runshun and Xiangtao were excited. Children aged two or three are at a playful and lively age. When I heard that I was going out to have a dinner, I immediately started to have fun.
In Li Miao's study, Wang Yonggui ran in hurriedly. His face was full of joy. "Good news, proprietor." He said a piece of information appeared on Li Miao's desk.
Li Miao just glanced at it and stood up suddenly. "Okay, okay." Li Miao then went to Ningguo Mansion for a banquet.
