"My husband has just been favored by the emperor because Jiaying won the first prize in the exam, and the position of Minister of Rites is vacant. If there is a bad reputation at this time and my husband's future is stagnant, will my mother be satisfied?"
"me……"
He was speechless, "It's not that serious..."
She, a country woman, didn't understand anything, but Lian Fang Yu understood the key point and said in a deep voice: "Mom, you made a fuss outside just now, and someone will impeach me tomorrow. The consequences of your making such a fuss will range from My son has lost his official position, and more importantly, he has lost the future that our Lian family worked so hard for! Are you satisfied that your whole family will accompany you back to Pingyang to farm?"
He didn't expect it to be so serious.
"Mom, you haven't said yet, how did you come from Pingyang alone?"
Even Fang Yu thought of the key point. She, an old lady who had never seen the world, arrived in the capital quietly alone. If she said that no one among them "helped", he would not believe it to death.
"I, I, I just missed you and wanted to come to Beijing to have a look. Who knew that when I came, I saw the pomp and ceremony of your married daughter..."
He's heart hurt so much that he fell on the chair next to him and pretended to be sick, holding his heart.
This was her usual move. Lian Fangyu had a headache and said, "If mother doesn't feel well, go and lie down on the bed. My son will hire a doctor for you."
Lian Fangyu claimed in front of others that his old mother was crazy, and then the Lian Mansion hired several doctors to come to her home to treat her. Lian Fangyu's good reputation for filial piety spread out.
After dealing with the He family, the Qin family left Lian Jiaying behind.
"Did you ask Du Juan to come to me at this time and tell me the truth? How did you know that she was pregnant?"
Lian Jiaying lowered her head and admitted: "That day, I saw my eldest brother beating her and kicking her in the stomach... Maybe this child was destined to die, so I hired a doctor for help, and the child was saved."
"She begged me, but I couldn't interfere with what happened in the eldest brother's yard. I just saw her pity and advised her to tell her mother. I didn't expect grandma to come to the door today. I was afraid that grandma would embarrass you, so I originally wanted to ask Du Juan to divert grandma's attention. Sight.”
Unexpectedly, it had an unexpected effect. Although the grandmother's face changed after she understood the stakes, the mother's words lifted her up so that she would not openly harm the child in Du Juan's belly.
"As soon as this child is born, your eldest brother will be completely useless."
Lian Jialiang is not good at studying and his conduct is not upright. It is impossible for him to marry a noble girl, and he will be overshadowed by Lian Jiaying for the rest of his life.
A good person does not argue, but a bad person pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger.
Lian Jiaying felt uneasy after being seen through her thoughts, not knowing how Qin would deal with him.
"This is a good move."
Lian Jiaying suddenly looked up.
Mrs. Qin picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He didn't expect Mrs. Qin to praise him and asked uncertainly: "Mother thinks her son did nothing wrong?"
He really wanted to trample Lian Jialiang under his feet. How could such a stupid person be held in the palm of his father's hand? He always arrogantly emphasized to him that he was the eldest son and that he was the one who would support the Lian family in the future...
He can never be better than him. In the academy, in front of his teachers, and in front of his classmates, he even has to hide his inferiority to protect himself.
Why is it that he is always the one who looks at people’s faces!
The greenness on his face has not faded yet, and he is very smart.
"People can't be too kind, otherwise they will only be bullied by others. They can't be too confident. They should always remain humble, know that there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside, and make decisions before taking action."
"People's hearts are inherently evil. You can scheme against people's hearts, but you can't lose your original heart. It's easy to break when you're too strong. That's good for you."
He is calculating, but he also knows right from wrong and is kind enough.
Lian Jiaying is a rare talent, given time he will grow up...
"Thanks for the tip, mother!"
He understood what Qin meant.
"It's getting late, you should go back."
Lian Jiaying's expression was relaxed.
"Sister Suisui told me before she got on the sedan chair that I must tell her in time about anything going on at home. She is thinking about her family. My son will go to the Nine Princes' Mansion later, so I can tell my sister not to worry too much."
They had a good relationship as brothers and sisters. Qin felt relieved, but she had to stop him.
"We'll go back tomorrow. Today is their bridal chamber, so the timing is not right."
Lian Jiaying smiled awkwardly and said yes.
"The son resigned."
Mrs. Qin sighed. When choosing a concubine for Lian Fangyu, she valued Ma's honesty the most. The honest and dull wooden beauty was the most reassuring. Why did she give birth to a son with so many thoughtful ideas...
The nine sons of Longsheng are all different, but I hope Lian Jiaying is reliable.
Lian Suisui hasn't seen Lian Jiaying, so naturally she doesn't know what happened in the Lian family's inner house. The carriage was stopped at the palace gate.
"Ninth Prince, Ninth Princess, please dismount."
The carriage is not allowed to enter the palace gate. This is the rule.
Princess Huirong was in poor health, so her carriage could go in directly, and there would be a soft sedan to greet her when she arrived at the harem.
Chu Zhiyi had difficulty with his legs and feet. After getting off the carriage, the entrance to the palace was deserted. Not to mention the soft sedan, there was not even a single servant to greet him.
Shuying carried Chu Zhiyi down from the carriage. He had repeated this action countless times and the two of them had long been used to it.
Lian Suisui suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Was he treated like this in the past when his legs and feet were inconvenient and he was poisoned?
"Let me push you."
She took the initiative to grab Shuying's job, and Chu Zhiyi smiled harmlessly.
"It takes more than half an hour to walk from here to the Queen Mother's palace. I'm afraid you will be tired."
Lian Suisui is now slender. Although she looks stronger than the average girl, she is still thin.
But she doesn't think so.
"Don't talk about an hour, I won't be tired even if I carry you for two hours."
Lian Suisui glanced at his thin body and pursed his lips.
If an ordinary man was ridiculed like this, he would have lost it for a long time. But Chu Zhiyi didn't feel it and followed her words and praised: "Our family is really amazing every year!"
Is there anyone so flattering?
Lian Suisui's face turned red, he glared at him and pushed him to jog.
The way she vents her anger is also cute, but it's a pity that she can't be seen from behind.
Chu Zhiyi had a faint smile on his face, and even Suisui felt happy even though he was holding in his anger, and he laughed unconsciously.
The passers-by of the palace hurriedly retreated to both sides to salute. Shuying chased after him, wanting to remind Lian Suisui that it was not etiquette to have fun in the palace, but he did not catch up with Lian Suisui...
The ground in the palace was paved with bluestone slabs and was smooth. Lian Suisui pushed him and played for a while. As the sun rose, she was sweating all over and her face was red.
There was no one around at the moment, so Chu Zhiyi simply hugged her, let her sit on his lap, and told Shuying to push the cart.
Shuying: "..."
Isn’t the life of your subordinates your life?
Even when Suisui struggled and was held down by him, she felt embarrassed.
Shuying resignedly pushed the two of them forward, passing by a remote palace. The peach blossoms had already stopped blooming. Many leaves sprouted from the peach trees, and the pink color could still be seen in the flower mud scattered on the ground.
"stop."
Lian Suisui jumped off him and walked around the peach tree in the middle of the yard. She felt that the layout here was a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had been here before.
The sun was very warm on his body, and Chu Zhiyi felt warm from his fingertips to his toes.
He looked at the peach blossom tree in trance.
Lian Suisui suddenly recognized where this place was.
