Mrs. Ji didn't have much hope for this mother-in-law. From the time Yan Jiaojiao was born, we knew that he was a person with a Buddha's mouth and a snake's heart.
The old lady did not dare to discipline her son, so she asked her daughter-in-law to take the lead.
There seemed to be many such times in the past.
"From what mother said, it seems that the Marquis is unaware of himself. Isn't this concubine just to make the Marquis happy?"
"Master Hou goes to the Yamen every day to work on errands, and he is already worried about hard work. When he returns to the Hou Mansion, he naturally wants to relax."
"You..." The old lady was speechless for a moment, so she had to slap her hard, "Do you listen to what you said, as if you are a wife? Mr. Marquis, he is your husband, and he is the heaven of the Hou Mansion. !”
[The sky is falling, isn’t it because he asked for it? 】
Yan Jiaojiao couldn't help but complain.
Then he received a slap from Ji.
It was neither light nor heavy, enough to make Yan Jiaojiao shut up.
"The Marquis is in his prime, how can he be as serious as the mother said? Besides, our Hou family is not prosperous, and we have two concubines. Isn't it just to let them flourish? If the Marquis doesn't go, how can we let them go?" Are they giving birth to heirs for the Hou Mansion?"
"But it's normal for mother to worry about Mr. Hou. My daughter-in-law immediately ordered her servants to stew tonic and send it to Yuzhu Garden every day."
After Ji finished speaking, he stood up and left Chunhui Hall minding his own business.
The old lady was so angry that she banged the table.
After Ji returned home, she did not break her promise and asked Tang Rui to open the public treasury and dig out all the blood bird's nests inside.
[Wow, what a great blood bird’s nest! 】
Yan Jiaojiao's eyes widened.
The blood-red swallow lamp makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
I heard that the red color comes from the blood vomited by swiftlets.
On the day she was born, her mother was almost killed by a bowl of blood bird's nest porridge.
"Tell the kitchen to stew the blood bird's nest and send it to Yuzhu Garden. Just say that I replenished the body of Mr. Marquis and Aunt Gu."
[Hahahaha, I don’t know if daddy dares to eat it. 】
Ji touched her head.
Yes, I wonder how Yan Hongfei would feel when he saw this bowl of bird's nest porridge.
"I searched for all those ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the public treasury. After all, after keeping them for many years, if you don't eat them, they will lose their potency. I found them and stewed them for the Marquis. Tomorrow, I will change the samples and send them to Yuzhuyuan. Lord Marquis, please replenish your health."
Naturally, there are some medicinal materials in the public treasury of the Hou Mansion. However, the old lady was greedy and stingy by nature, so she hid everything like a treasure.
Some things, in Ji's opinion, are too old to be used.
So after she married into the Hou family, these supplements were all taken from the drug store where she was married.
Nowadays, Ji will certainly not be so stupid.
Use whatever is in the public treasury.
"Speaking of which, brother, haven't there been any letters yet?"
Ji asked Nanny Chen.
She always remembered what she heard from Yan Jiaojiao, that Liu Xinyue was originally Yan Hongfei's widowed sister-in-law.
But she had never heard that Yan Hongfei had an elder brother.
As far as she could guess, if this eldest brother really existed, he probably wasn't the old lady's biological son.
Otherwise, the eldest son would not be hidden.
Perhaps, the eldest son of a concubine?
This isn't right either.
Although big families pay attention to legitimate concubines, most families hope to have legitimate children first and then concubines.
But there are not many families where the eldest son is a concubine.
It's not like he had to hide his eldest son.
Unless, the identity of this concubine's eldest son cannot be revealed to others.
But it doesn't make sense why Liu Xinyue, the daughter of an official, would marry the eldest son of a concubine who cannot see the light of day.
It seems very complicated here.
Mrs. Ji wrote to her eldest brother, asking him to help find out about this uncle who had never appeared.
"Not yet." Grandma Chen also knew what Ji was investigating. She shook her head, "My guess is that this matter is not easy to investigate. Girl, you have to be patient."
Ji also knew this truth and sighed softly, "That's the only way it can be."
Yan Rong has entered Prince Cheng's Mansion, and his future is promising.
Ji's biggest wish now is to help Yan Jing find a better future.
Yan Jing is different from Yan Rong. He is not a student, but on the contrary, he likes to practice martial arts.
When he was young, he always said, "I will be a general in the future."
Yan Rong is the eldest son, and the prince's mansion will belong to him in the future.
Yan Jing is different, he has to fight for his own future. Since he likes to practice martial arts, he might as well pursue martial arts.
She was just thinking about her second son's future when someone came from Princess Yong'an's mansion.
It turned out that Princess Yong'an missed Yan Jiaojiao and wanted to take her to live in the princess's mansion for two days.
"This..." Ms. Ji hesitated. After all, her daughter was still young, so she was really worried about her going to live elsewhere.
"His Highness said, knowing that Madam is worried, you might as well go over there and stay for a while."
The old nanny who came was also from the palace, and she was the most eye-catching. Knowing that Princess Yong'an valued Yan Jiaojiao, she was extremely polite to Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji thought for a while, the eldest princess liked her daughter, which was of great benefit to her daughter.
Even if I go to the princess mansion, I think I will be well taken care of.
There is an imperial doctor on duty in the princess's mansion, so there is no need to worry at all.
So he smiled and said: "Look what mama said, your highness is going to pick up Jiaojiao and stay there for a while. Why should I be worried? I will pack her clothes and bedding and send them over. However, this child never drinks breast milk. Those who only drink goat’s milk.”
Mammy nodded, "I will take note of it."
When Yan Jiaojiao woke up from his sleep, it was already dark.
She found that everyone had arrived in a strange place.
Everywhere is painted with gold and color, and the wealth is overwhelming.
Its luxurious place cannot be turned into a palace.
"Hey, little girl is awake?"
Princess Yong'an's face appeared above Yan Jiaojiao.
【It’s a beautiful girl! 】
Yan Jiaojiao understood that she had arrived at the eldest princess's mansion.
"It's okay, she didn't cry when she was born. I just said she was sensible, right?"
The eldest princess picked up Yan Jiaojiao and kissed her forehead.
"Are you hungry? Have someone prepare some goat's milk."
Yan Jiaojiao nodded desperately.
The eldest princess laughed, ordered someone to bring goat's milk, and fed her herself.
Yan Jiaojiao was satisfied with his drink, smiling, and even the rouge mole on his forehead looked cheerful.
"Your Highness, the consort wishes to see you."
Someone said something back.
Princess Yong'an didn't even raise her head and said calmly, "Tell him that I am tired and don't want to see him today. Please ask him to go back to Duke Chengen's Mansion."
"Your Highness, is this bad?"
There was a female official beside the eldest princess who spoke to persuade her.
Princess Yong'an raised her eyes, and her majestic gaze made the female official lower her head.
"When a consort comes to see the princess, he has to go through a summons. He comes for no reason, and I send him back. What's wrong with that?"
The female officer did not dare to speak.
[Godmother, ignore her. That prince-in-law is so evil! 】
The eldest princess was startled and looked down at Yan Jiaojiao.
Is this the first time she has heard this child speak?
