Chapter 787: Reluctant
"Princess, the old lady is here."
Just when Mrs. Liao and Xia Zihan were chatting happily, Chu Meng ran in with a smile to report.
Besides Zeng, who else could she call an old lady?
Xia Zihan was about to get out of bed with an excited look on her face, but Mrs. Liao hurriedly stopped her, "Hey, silly girl, you're not even one month old yet, how can you get out of bed, goodbye now, you're not an outsider, don't worry, I will go to the door to greet the old lady on your behalf.”
Mrs. Liao went away happily.
A moment later, the sound of Mrs. Liao saluting Mrs. Zeng was heard at the door, and immediately after, Mrs. Zeng was helped into the house by Qingya.
Looking at Mrs. Zeng, who was several years older than before, Xia Zihan burst into tears and shouted with a choked voice, "Grandma..."
The tears flowed down as if they were worthless.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Grandma knows that you have suffered." Mrs. Zeng took three steps at a time and took two steps at a time. She went to the bedside and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "You are in confinement now. You can't cry. You are hurt." It’s not good for your eyes to shed tears easily from now on.”
"Grandma, I miss you." Xia Zihan looked at Mrs. Zeng, reluctant to look away, as if she was afraid that if she looked wrong, Mrs. Zeng would disappear.
"Grandma misses Yu Niang too." Mrs. Zeng held her hand, her eyes were red and moist, but she was afraid that Xia Zihan would cry with her, so she forced back the tears in her eyes. .
Mrs. Liao quietly withdrew, leaving space for her grandfather and grandson to talk.
Mrs. Zeng had been staying with Xia Zihan in the room, and Xia Zihan ordered the maid to bring the child to Mrs. Zeng.
Mrs. Zeng saw her great-grandson, and there were two of them. Her hands were shaking with excitement. She did not dare to hold the child, for fear that one of her hands would be weak and she would drop the child.
She took out two sets of identical gold locks, put them on the child's neck, and said, "I specially sent someone to Xiangguo Temple to pay tribute to this lock for three days. Wearing it will keep you healthy and safe. You can't Got it for the kids.”
The last advice was given to the nurse holding the child.
The two wet nurses nodded in agreement.
When the banquet started, Mrs. Zeng was helped out by Qingya. Looking at her grandmother's staggering old back, Xia Zihan's tears came out again.
My grandmother has lived several years longer than in her previous life. She should be happy. However, looking at her body and bones, she is like an old tree with its core hollowed out. One day, her grandmother will leave her forever. She My heart felt as uncomfortable as being blocked by a stone.
When Chu Jingqi entered the house, he saw his precious wife, crying secretly. His face instantly turned as cold as frost, "Ayu, why are you crying? What happened? Who bullied you? ”
"No one bullies me, idiot. No one dares to bully me here." Then he said lowly, "I met my grandmother, and my grandmother is old."
Seeing that she was sad, Chu Jingqi took off her shoes, lifted the quilt, climbed up, reached out and gently held her in his arms, like patting a baby to sleep, patted her back gently, and advised her softly, "Silly girl, when you get old, the day will come sooner or later. You have to prepare in advance."
Xia Zihan choked and nodded, "I know, I just...I just can't let go of my grandmother."
"I can't bear to part with her either." Over the years, Mrs. Zeng has pampered her like a nephew and loved his mother as her own daughter. Although they are not related by blood to Mrs. Zeng, their relationship is stronger than those who are related by blood. I still want to kiss all my relatives.
Mrs. Zeng is the wisest, kindest, kindest and strongest old lady he has ever met.
Seeing Xia Zihan crying again, he felt distressed and kept wiping her tears, but the more he wiped her tears, the more tears she wiped. Chu Jingqi said softly, "Mother said that women in confinement should not cry, as it will easily hurt the eyes." , I won’t be able to do the embroidery you like anymore, be good, don’t cry, I’ll take you to live with Chu’s house for a while after you’re over one month old.”
"Really?"
"Silly girl, when have I ever failed to keep my words?"
"Take the child with you." If she leaves the child at home, she will be reluctant to leave the child.
Chu Jingqi nodded, "Yes, take the two children with us."
On the second day of the third bath, Xia Zihan ordered Chu Lin to send a maid to Jiangning City to bring Mrs. Liao's words to Liao Jingtang and Zeng Jing.
He also ordered Chu Lin to send a few more people to the Mingchuan Mountains in the south of the Yangtze River to find some good medicinal materials and send them back to Chu's house to replenish Zeng's health.
At the end of May, news came from Chu Xuanyu that in three days, Chu Xuanyu and Ao Tianchen, who had been stationed abroad for many years, would enter the capital.
When Mrs. Zhuo received the news, she was so happy that she didn't sleep all night. She got up very early the next day and ordered the maids and women in the house to take action and clean the house inside and outside, front and back. Once, the entire mansion was tidy and spotless.
Mrs. Zhuo smiled and said to Xia Zihan, "Although your father did not come back when you gave birth to your child, he did catch up with your grandson's full moon wine."
Xia Zihan hesitated and said, "Mom, should we move the full moon banquet to a few days later? Dad has just come back and will definitely report to the emperor on the affairs of the Japanese country. He also has to rectify the Chu family army. There are many things, and I'm afraid I won't have much time at home."
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to show up for your grandson's full moon wedding banquet. If he doesn't show up, I'll skin him." Mrs. Zhuo said with a vicious look on her face.
Xia Zihan pursed her lips and smiled.
A few days later, Chu Xuanyu and Ao Tianchen, leading hundreds of thousands of troops, stopped at Shili Fort on the outskirts of the capital.
The emperor personally led the civil and military officials to Shili Fort to greet him.
Hundreds of thousands of troops did not enter the capital, and were arranged by their respective leading generals to camp in military camps on the outskirts of the city. Only Chu Xuanyu, Ao Tianchen, and several high-ranking generals under them entered the palace to report the matter. .
Mrs. Zhuo waited eagerly at home, waiting from morning to noon, but she still hadn't seen anyone. She waited from noon to evening, and when the moon came out, she still didn't see Chu Xuanyu.
Just when Zhuo's expectations turned into anger, Chu Xuanyu finally came back.
Mrs. Zhuo had a straight face and said coldly, "You still know how to come back? Huh, I thought the emperor would prepare beauty tea for you today and leave you, a great hero, to spend the night in the palace."

"The emperor was going to let me stay in the palace overnight, but I declined." Seeing that his precious lady was angry, Chu Xuanyu lowered his posture and smiled at her in a flattering way, "There is such a beautiful and elegant lady waiting at home. I, how could I let her sleep alone and spend time with those vulgar fans.”
