Chapter 707: Coming up with ideas
After Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan had lunch at Chu's house, they returned to the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as they arrived home, Mrs. Zhuo came after receiving the news and took Xia Zihan's hand. They were very happy.
If Xia Zihan moves, Mrs. Zhuo will quickly tell the maid, "What do you want to take? Just tell the maid that you are twins now, so you can't move around casually."
Chu Jingqi was also watching closely. Whenever she wanted to go, he would carry her there without saying a word. Even if it was more than ten steps from the bed to the bed, he would not let her go. Xia Zihan was so depressed, she felt like she had no freedom at all, and she was living like a waste.
Besides lying down, I just sit.
Just barely fed her and wiped her mouth.
Shui Furong was very happy to meet another generation. She even gave her a jade token. It was the jade token on the first floor in the world. As long as she took the jade token and went to the first floor in the world, she would be in great trouble. , No. 1 House in the World will also solve it for her.
The next day, Xia Shiming also got the news that she had returned to Beijing and was pregnant. He happily asked for leave and came to visit him. He also used his personal money to buy a lot of medicinal materials to repair the fetus. .
After not seeing Xia Shiming for a long time, Xia Zihan was very happy to see him. He ordered the maid to brew a pot of top-quality Dahongpao and put on the table various snacks and dried fruits.
Xia Shiming smiled and said, "Dad doesn't want to eat, so you don't have to worry about that. You have to take good care of yourself now and don't think too much."
Then, he also said, "Dad has bought some medicinal materials. You can make up for it. After eating, dad will buy some. If you want to eat anything, ask the maid to bring a message to dad, and dad will buy it for you."
Although he knew that it was not his turn to buy whatever his daughter wanted to eat. Chu Jingqi would buy it, Zhuo would buy it, and his old mother-in-law would buy it, but Xia Shiming still wanted to express his good mood about being a grandfather.
"The food we eat every day is piled higher than mine. Dad, please spare your daughter." Xia Zihan smiled bitterly and was concerned about his life, "Dad, how are you doing recently? Grandma...she still doesn't Do you agree? ”
Last year, she finally persuaded Xia Shiming to help Aunt Guo to stand upright. Who knew that Mrs. Xia would fight to the death to prevent Aunt Guo from standing upright.
Her father is a filial man. If Mrs. Xia disagrees, her father will not dare to act rashly.
Later, when Chu Jingqi was poisoned, she was so focused on Chu Jingqi that she ignored it and didn't know what happened to it.
Xia Shiming's expression was unclear, but he still stuttered and said, "Yu Niang, your grandmother does some things... but she is old. As juniors, we should endure some things, and we can't do it because... Just let yourself regret it.”
Alas, her father is still too upright.
He was bullied into this by Mrs.
Although a son should be filial to his mother, it depends on what happened. Her ninth brother is such a smart person, so because of Mrs. Xia's unreasonable behavior, her ninth brother will have to carry the title of concubine for the rest of his life?
Of the three sons of the second eldest brother of the Xia family, her ninth brother is the most promising. In the future, the second eldest brother may have to rely on her ninth brother to support his appearance.
But first we have to correct his identity.
The official career of a concubine is much more difficult than that of a legitimate son.
Xia Zihan rolled his eyes and said warmly, "Dad, have you ever thought about going to Jiangning City to ask your grandfather to make decisions for you?"
"Your grandfather?" Xia Shiming looked slightly stunned.
Looking at his expression, Xia Zihan knew that he must not have thought about it.
She said, "Grandfather is in Jiangning City. How about Dad take Aunt Guo and Ninth Brother to Jiangning during the Chinese New Year." As long as Mrs. Xia promised her father to help Aunt Guo straighten up, he would take the opportunity to write Aunt Guo's name. After reading the Xia family's genealogy, if Mrs. Xia still objects, then she will find a way to get Mrs. Xia back to Jiangning, so as not to make life difficult for her father here.
Xia Zihan's suggestion was good, and Xia Shiming thought about it seriously.
After drinking a cup of tea, he made up his mind and said, "Then I will ask for a few days' leave in advance and return to Jiangning City as soon as possible. It is freezing cold and the road is difficult to walk. If I leave early, I can get to Jiangning as soon as possible. ”
"It's good to leave early," Xia Zihan agreed, "But don't tell your grandmother or anyone else about this yet. Just say that you will send Aunt Guo back to her parents' house to stay for a few days."
< br>
"Is this...is this good?" Xia Shiming hesitated.
Having been upright all his life, he never imagined that one day, he would go behind his mother's back and do something against her.
Not only did he have to disobey his mother, but he also had to deceive her. This made him, who was upright, somewhat unable to overcome this hurdle in his heart.
Xia Zihan said disapprovingly, "If you tell grandma, will grandma agree to your return to Jiangning?"
Xia Shiming's expression was cryptic.
As far as his mother was going, not to mention agreeing, she might send someone to keep an eye on him, and she might cause trouble for Aunt Guo and Brother Ye, and maybe she would even start crying, making a fuss, and hanging herself.
The fuss continued until he knelt down and begged for mercy, promising that she would never straighten Aunt Guo for the rest of her life.
Last time, when he mentioned this matter in a vague way, her mother made a fuss and asked him to swear that he would never straighten Aunt Guo for the rest of his life. When he held back his words, his mother cried and howled, and even threatened to hit a pillar. When he was forced to surrender, fortunately his elder brother came and persuaded his mother in time.
Otherwise, he would have sworn it.
Once you make an oath and stick to your word, it will be difficult for Brother Ye to have an official career in his life, and Aunt Guo will only be an aunt in her life.
When he thought of Aunt Guo, who had served him carefully and conscientiously over the years and had a deep affection for him, he felt a little sorry for her.
"Dad." Xia Zihan said again, "It is only natural for you to be filial to your grandmother, but the ninth brother is also your biological son. If the ninth brother does not have this talent, then forget it, but the ninth brother is talented and has a bright future. , you can’t ignore your ninth brother’s future just because of your grandmother’s unreasonable behavior.”
"Even if you don't take into consideration the fact that Aunt Guo has worked so hard to take care of you all these years, you still have to think about the future of our second wife, right?"
This last sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The wall of integrity that Xia Shiming had maintained for decades collapsed at a corner.
He said, "Okay, I will hide it from your grandmother and tell no one."
Xia Zihan laughed.
After returning home, Xia Shiming followed what Xia Zihan said, first asked for leave, and then said that the Chinese New Year was coming soon and he would send Aunt Guo to stay at her natal home for a few days.
On the day they left, only Xia Zihan knew that she ordered Chu Lin to send a team of twenty girls to escort them to Jiangning. She also packed a cart of things and asked him to take them to Jiangning.
However, she did not go to see him off.
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Mrs. Zhuo cooked various tonic soups for her three times a day. Not only that, Mrs. Zeng also cooked various tonic soups every day and sent people to work hard to deliver them while they were hot. Come and feed her.
