Chapter 1185: Dating a baby
In fact, he didn't understand what it meant to marry a wife, but his third uncle had been telling him and his brother all day long that they needed to save money to marry a wife, and the third uncle had saved a lot of money.
The third uncle said that if he and his brother save more money, they will be able to marry a daughter-in-law back home without having to worry about their father and mother.
The third uncle didn't want his grandparents to worry about him marrying a wife, and he and his brother didn't want their father and mother to worry about it. Therefore, he and his brother worked hard to save money when the second uncle and the third uncle were away from home for so many days.
It's a pity that he and his brother have little pocket money, and their monthly allowance is only twenty taels of silver. It was his mother who said that he and his brother were still young and couldn't spend much money, so she gave them twenty taels of silver, waiting for him and his brother. After my brother turns eight, he will be like his father and grandfather, and his monthly salary will rise to fifty taels of silver.
"Your little mouth is making me more and more happy." Xia Zihan stretched out his claws and pinched his youngest son's face hard.
"Princess, the princess sent someone over to ask, what do the prince and the princess want to eat for lunch?"
While mother and son were playing around, Chu Yun came in to report.
Xia Zihan looked at the hourglass in the corner and asked the two boys and Chu Jingqi, "What do you want to eat? Tell me the name of the dish quickly so that the cook can prepare it early."
"Mom, I want to eat steamed pork ribs."
"Mom, I want it too. I also want Sixi meatballs and steamed eggs with shrimps."
Chu Yijie and Chu Yixuan are two little buns who like to eat meat recently, and they are not happy without meat. They have to eat meat at every meal. Without meat, their appetite will be lost and the meal will not taste good.
This, Zhuo said, is very similar to Chu Jingqi's temperament.
The tastes of his two sons are similar to Chu Jingqi's. Chu Jingqi likes to eat whatever his son likes. After Chu Yun silently noted these dishes in his mind, he left.
The two little buns were driven by Chu Jingqi to play chess at the end of the kang, while he pulled Xia Zihan and lay on her lap, and the couple talked quietly.
The two little buns have long been accustomed to their parents' affection and closeness. However, when the two little buns saw that their father was occupying their mother, they were not allowed to get close to her. The two little buns were very unhappy and would flirt with Chu Jingqi from time to time. Get a resentful look.
Chu Jingqi ignored it completely.
"Chuan Qiong went to Jiangnan to search for Le Ying. I sent a letter to Chuan Qiong and asked him to investigate the matter of the Zhao family's eldest son in Jiangnan." Chu Jingqi said softly, reaching out to Xia Zihan's head to make trouble. , her bun almost fell apart.
"Don't make trouble, we have to ask the maid to come in and comb it again later." Xia Zihan slapped his hand away, frowning and said, "Do you suspect that the Zhao family's power is in Jiangnan?"
Chu Jingqi hummed and guessed, "Gan Song has investigated that for many years, the eldest son of the Zhao family has often traveled between the capital and Jiangnan. Therefore, I suspect that the Zhao family has long developed its power outside the capital."
< br>
After all, the Zhao family made a mistake and was demoted by the current emperor's grandfather. As long as they lived in the capital for one day, they could only live a low-key life. If they wanted to turn around, they would immediately attract the attention of the royal family.
Therefore, no matter how stupid the Zhao family is, they will not base their power in the capital. They will most likely stay in the Jiangnan area far away from the capital.
Xia Zihan's eyes lit up, "Now the emperor is investigating Mr. Zhao's whereabouts very closely. Mr. Zhao may have gone to Jiangnan a long time ago. If he is really in Jiangnan, the news will be known to the emperor again, haha..." < br>
"I have sent someone to tell the emperor." Chu Jingqi looked at Xia Zihan with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of smiles.
However, when she thought of being chased by assassins in black this time and being seriously injured, Chu Jingqi's face turned gloomy again, and she said gloomily, "Since the people of the Zhao family and the Xiao family dare to join forces to deal with my Chu family, then they We should have known what would happen to them if our father and son were not dead.”
Xia Zihan knew that Chu Jingqi wanted revenge.
"A group of prisoners, let the emperor have fun. This time, the emperor is among the people they plotted against."
The emperor was cursed and plotted against, and he must be burning with anger in his heart, especially since he had been tortured for two months. He was worried about the anger that he had been holding in and had not vented it. The Xiao family and The Zhao family knocked down the muzzle and came up at this time, it was simply seeking death.
"That's right." Chu Jingqi suddenly glanced at Chu Yixuan, who was concentrating on playing chess with his younger brother, and lowered his voice, "Dad told me that the queen was pregnant, and the Heavenly Master also concluded that the thing in the queen's belly would be our Da Sheng. The eldest princess of the country.”
"Before, because of the presence of the late empress's eldest princess, the Heavenly Master said so, the emperor and the queen mother once doubted the eldest princess's bloodline. Later, the emperor deposed the late empress, and the original eldest princess became After becoming a concubine, her direct line had no heirs. Only then did the Emperor and the Queen Mother understand the meaning behind the Heavenly Master's words. "
Therefore, the original eldest princess became a concubine. After Chu Xang gave birth to her daughter, she became the eldest princess.
"One more thing. Dad said that when the emperor was critically ill, he grabbed him to confess his last words. He had promised the emperor that Xuan'er would grow up and become Princess Shang."
So, Chu Xuanyu decided on Chu Yixuan’s marriage without the knowledge of the couple?
Xia Zihan was stunned, and then felt angry, annoyed, and helpless.
She was angry because she didn't want her children to be betrothed by their elders for no reason at a young age, and they had never even met the betrothal partner. When they grow up, the two children don't know whether they can get married. Get along well.
Unfortunately, Chu Xuanyu is her father-in-law, the child's grandfather, and the head of the family. He has the right to arrange his grandson's marriage privately.
She had no right to blame her father-in-law, let alone her father-in-law.
Xia Zihan pouted and said helplessly, "Fortunately, she is Chu Cang's daughter. The girl taught by Chu Cang will definitely be a good girl. If this is the daughter of the late empress, even if I risk disobeying the imperial edict, This marriage must be canceled.”
"If the daughter was born to the first empress, the emperor would not seek marriage with her father, but would go to the Xiao family." Chu Jingqi said with a smile.
He felt relieved when he saw that although Xia Zihan was a little angry, he didn't blame his father.
Xia Zihan also pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, the emperor is a sensible person. He knows that the late empress is close to her natal family and cannot talk to me."
Chu Yixuan, who was concentrating on playing chess with his younger brother, had no idea that his life-long events were decided so easily by his parents and grandfather, and that his daughter-in-law was still in the queen's belly and had not yet been born.
After finishing lunch and opening two steamed buns, Chu Xuanyu told Xia Zihan, "The emperor's belly is my granddaughter-in-law. Ayu, please see if there are any health-replenishing herbs in the warehouse at home and send some to the queen." , if not, go to the accountant to collect money and sell it in the pharmacy outside.”
