Chapter 288 Xu Kui moved to the left
"She said something bad and almost made his wife angry to death, but the wife can't die yet, so I want to send my fifth grandmother to the temple so that she won't find trouble to stimulate her wife, but the Peng family will definitely not agree." Chen Danxia frowned.
Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll send my wife to the village to recuperate."
"Mrs. She is fat and should not move." Chen Danxia reminded him.
"Why should I go and talk to my second uncle?" Xu Lang took the initiative.
"No, I'll go and talk to my grandmother first." Chen Danxia was unwilling to deal with Mrs. Peng. He was a self-righteous idiot, but Wen was a very wise person, and it should make sense to her.
Xu Lang thought about it and said, "You can tell the truth to your grandmother."
"Well, I understand, go to bed." Chen Danxia moved, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes.
Xu Lang kissed her forehead, tucked the quilt, and then went to bed.
Seven days after the spirit was put on, Xu Chao was in funeral. Xu Sheng held Kang Kang and held heavy tablets. The little man didn't know what death was. He rarely saw Xu Chao. There was not much affection between the father and son, and Kang Kang's face was not very sad. He was young and others would not demand harshly what he wanted.
He sent Xu Chao to the ancestral land of the Xu family outside the city for burial. Wang died, Xu Shuo could marry him. Xu Chao died, but Sun Zhenniang wanted to keep his pride for life.
Two days later, Chen Danxia brought Pangpang, Zhuangzhuang and gifts to visit Wen's family. Seeing Wen's family, Chen Danxia saluted apologetically and said, "I just finished the funeral at home. I shouldn't have visited relatives and friends so quickly. It was really impossible to delay this matter, so I brought the children here to disturb you. Please forgive me for any inappropriate things."
"You kid is so weird, get up quickly." Wen smiled and stepped forward to help her up and said.
Because he didn't like Mrs. Peng and Peng Xin, Chen Danxia didn't come to the Peng family many times, but gifts were always delivered on time during festivals. Wen's impression of Chen Danxia was quite good, and he also liked two great-grandsons who looked like Xu Lang. He asked his maid to bring pastries for Pang Pang Zhuangzhuang to eat. He also made the two brothers laugh and beat them to the yard to play.
Chen Danxia told Wen about Peng Xin almost angered at the temple. Wen's face was as deep as water. She really didn't know how Peng Jiang taught her daughter? If Peng Xin really angered Chen Qing, it would be light to go back to her parents' home. The Xu family could send Peng Xin to prison.
"The third master originally wanted to send his wife to the village to avoid the fifth grandma, but his wife's body should not move. I was worried that if the wife let go, the third master would have to Ding You to stay mourn. Now the third master has just taken over part of the Southwest Army, which is the important time. If Ding You to stay mourn at this time, the third master's military achievements will be wasted, so the wife cannot be sent to the village, so she can only let the fifth grandma avoid it." Chen Danxia said frowningly.
Wen Shi thought for a while, looked up at Chen Danxia, and asked calmly: "Where do you want her to avoid?"
Chen Danxia's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked back, "Where is grandma who thinks it's better to let her avoid?"
Wen smiled and said, "Do you think it's feasible to send it to the temple?"
"The temple is full of hardships, I'm afraid my second aunt will not be able to bear it." Chen Danxia said with a faint smile.
"I can't help but let her go. It's a good thing to ask Sister Xin to go to the temple to listen to Buddhist scriptures and eliminate her anger." Wen had guessed that Chen Danxia wanted to send Peng Xin to the temple, and she also thought that the temple was a good place to go.
"My grandmother thinks it is more appropriate to send her fifth grandmother to you one day?" Chen Danxia asked.
Wen opened the drawer of the small table next to him, took out the almanac from it, turned to March 22, and said, "It's all this day, it's good to incense and pray for blessings."
March 22nd, three days later. Since Wen had already achieved this, Chen Danxia was willing to sell it to the Peng family. "The people who serve the fifth grandma will follow him to the temple, and will not let the fifth grandma suffer in the temple."
"Since she was asked to go to the temple to practice cultivation, how could she bring so many people? Let her go to the temple alone, so that her confused mind would be sober." Wen regretted these years, and turned a blind eye and let Mrs. Peng spoil Peng Xin, hoping that Peng Xin would suffer a little so that she could learn from the lessons and avoid making irreparable mistakes.
Wen is Peng Xin's grandmother. Chen Danxia had no objection to dealing with Peng Xin. He chatted with Wen for a while, and after lunch, he took the two little guys home.
The next day, Chen Danxia asked his servants to start packing things for Peng Xin. On the evening of the 21st, Wen hit someone to deliver things to Chen Danxia. The obvious reason was actually to tell her that the Peng family had convinced her to send Peng Xin to the temple as promised tomorrow.
Chen Danxia realized that Peng Xin was unwilling to submit easily, so she asked her maid to add medicine to the ginseng tea she drank in the morning. Peng Xin was sleepy and was sent to Shanci Temple, the Xu family temple outside the city. When the medicine was effective, she woke up and was already in the temple.
While Peng Xin was sent out, Mrs. Xu was persuading Xu Kui, "Brother Kui, please retire."
"Mother, I finally became the Minister of Rites and asked me to retire like this. I was unwilling to accept it." Xu Kui was unwilling.
Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "At this point, don't you understand? If Lang'er hadn't made military achievements, the emperor would have been dismissed from your post long ago. Now that you are asking you to retire on your own initiative, it is to protect your face."
"Mother, I know you love Lang Ge'er, but there is no need for you to do this for him." Xu Kui said unhappily.
"I am not practicing you, I'm saying it's true. You have been an official for decades, but your official rank has been experienced and you have never made any great achievements. So for so many years, you have been in the position of Minister of Rites. Moreover, I can tell you that your official rank has stopped here." Mrs. Xu said to the point.
"Impossible, I don't believe it. Mother, you don't have to say anything anymore. I won't retire." Xu Kui said that he stood up and left angrily.
Mrs. Xu looked at his back and shook her head and sighed. She couldn't help but feel unwilling to listen to others' advice since she was a child, and she insisted on going all the way to the dark.
Chen Danxia didn't care whether Xu Kui retired. Her birthday this year was because Xu Chaoxin died. She could only go there simply; she would not hold a banquet without treating guests, Chen Danxia took the two little guys to the kitchen to make birthday cakes. Moshu and Mo Forget it is a ready-made artificial egg beater.
Chen Danxia separated the egg white and the egg yolk and handed it to Mo Si Mo Wang, asking them to put the frosting in three times, and then beat it in the same direction until she was sure it was OK. Mo Si Mo Wang picked up the bowl, held a pair of chopsticks, and beat the eggs seriously. Pang Pang Zhuang played with flour next to her laughing.
"Oh, two little naughty, stop." Chen Danxia stopped them, looked at their faces and heads full of white faces, frowned, "Do you forget that my mother can tell you? Every grain is hard."
"This is not a grain, this is powder." Zhuangzhuang retorted with a verbal remark.
"Flour is made of wheat." Chen Danxia paused and turned his head to look at Shou Po, "Is it made of wheat?" Shou Po nodded.
"Wheat and rice are the same, they are all grown by farmers in the field." Chen Danxia took the opportunity to teach them again not to waste food.
Mo Wang's egg yolk was beaten, Chen Danxia sifted the flour into it, and added milk. Mo Meng's egg whites had not been beaten, and he was still working hard. Everyone sat next to him and watched Mo Meng beat the eggs. Mo Meng was sore and pursed his mouth. This beating eggs was even more tiring than practicing.
Of course, after eating the cake, Mo Si felt that the hard work was worth it, but she still said: "Three grandma, can you let Mo Wang beat the egg yolk when making the cake next time? I beat the egg yolk."
"Yes." Chen Danxia agreed, and she didn't plan to just get tired.
"Grandma Third, Mo Li and Mo Qi also ate the cake. They did nothing. This is not appropriate, right?" Mo Li saw that Mo Si's right hand was shaking and knew that it was not easy to beat egg whites, so he immediately dragged Mo Li and Mo Qi into the water.
Chen Danxia laughed and said, "Everyone takes turns."
Everyone was very happy.
Pang Pang Zhuang gave a piece of cake to Mrs. Xu to try it out, "Great-grandmother, this is a birthday cake made by my mother. Do you like it if you try it?"
Mrs. Xu likes to eat it very much, and she finished all of it. "This cake is delicious, soft and smooth, with a faint milky smell and egg fragrance, but it is not odorous."
"Great-grandmother, can you ask your mother to do three-layer work when you celebrate your birthday?" Zhuang Zhuang urged, swallowing his saliva.
Mrs. Xu smiled, "Okay, let your mother work harder and make three-layer cakes for us to eat."
Zhuang Zhuang smiled with a cracked mouth, and Pang Pang clapped happily.
In the evening, Xu Lang came back from the yamen and handed Chen Danxia a mahogany box, "Birthday Gift."
"Thank you." Chen Danxia took the box, stepped forward and tiptoed, kissed him and the corner of his lips, opened the wooden box, which was a pair of red gold hairpins. Chen Danxia happily held the wooden box and placed it on the dressing table, "I will wear it tomorrow."
Chen Danxia diligently served him to take off his outer clothes, put on his home clothes, and then asked the maid to take out the small piece of cake left for him to eat, and asked with anticipation: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Xu Lang is not picky about food, not to mention that this was made by his little wife, and it tastes really good. "I made this at home today?"
"This is a birthday cake." Chen Danxia smiled.
"If it's not difficult to do it, wait for my grandmother's birthday, make me one for my grandmother." Xu Lang suggested.
Chen Danxia curled his lips and said, "You don't need to say anything. Zhuangzhuang has already discussed with his grandmother. When it's time for his grandmother's birthday, he will ask me to make a three-layer cake."
"He is pretending to be a public for personal gain." Xu Lang smiled.
Chen Danxia smiled and said, "Not."
Lingxi Courtyard was relaxed and casual, but Xu Kui lived more and more anxious day by day. He refused to leave the emperor for a long time, wasting the emperor's kindness and exhausting the emperor's patience. On the morning court on March 30, the emperor announced in front of all the court officials that Xu Kui was demoted to several levels and moved from the second-rank Minister of Rites to the sixth rank of Jindu Prefecture to the sixth rank of the ruler.
Xu Kui knew about this bad news and fainted. Only then did he realize that what his mother said was very reasonable. Unfortunately, it was too late. He could have retired in the second rank, but now he can only be a sixth rank official. He is in his fifties and was demoted again. If he wants to be promoted again, unless the emperor and the minister are once, he will probably be exhausted to death at the sixth rank official.
Mrs. Xu was not surprised or sad at all. She took medicine on time every day, asked her maid to give her a massage, and got out of bed for a walk.
Days passed day by day, and good news in June was frequent. First, Yan Suxin was three months pregnant, then there was good news about Wang's pregnancy, and then there was news about Xu Xu and Xu concubine's pregnancy. Chen Danxia had no contact with the concubine Xu, and the Xu and Xu families had never walked around. Chen Danxia only gave gifts to Yan Suxin, Wang and Xu Zi, but he was completely unaware of this move, which made the little-minded concubine Xu hold a grudge.
On that day, when King Yan returned to his house, he went to Yang Lingzhi's room to have a cup of tea and told her to go back to her parents' home to see her parents' home when she was free. Yang Lingzhi understood, "Then I will go back to her parents' home to visit her mother tomorrow."
The King of Yan left with satisfaction, went to Zhao Guanzhi to see his daughter, teased her and called her father a few times, and then went to Xu Xu and Xu concubines' room. Xu Xu was making small clothes. When the King of Yan saw it, he said, "You are pregnant, don't waste this god, let the needle and thread lady do it."
"No worries, I have nothing to do all day long. My third sister-in-law said that as a mother, at least she has to make a set of clothes for the child with her own hands." Xu Xu raised her head and smiled.
"Then have your third sister-in-law ever said that she would at least make a set of clothes for her husband?" King Yan asked with a smile.
"My third sister-in-law made clothes for my third brother, but my third sister-in-law found it difficult to do it, so she usually made belts for my third brother." Xu Xu smiled.
The King of Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you can also make a belt for me."
Xu Xu asked in surprise: "What kind of tricks are the prince likes?"
"What are there?" asked the King of Yan.
Xu Xu took out the booklet of tricks and asked him to choose. King Yan chose two simple tricks with good meanings and said, "Just these two."
"Yes." Xu Xu smiled, "If you have any questions, please choose one for the child."
The King of Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he found a pattern of fish playing with lotus in the booklet, "This, both boys and girls can use it."
"Thank you, Prince." Xu Xu smiled.
"This is also my son, you don't need to thank me." King Yan said with a smile.
"When the child comes out, let the child thank the prince himself." Xu Xu smiled.
"Okay." King Yan smiled and nodded.
The King of Yan sat in Xu Xi for a long time before going to Xu's concubine. Xu's concubine was about to prepare a meal when she saw that the King of Yan came, she asked with a smile: "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet, I'll eat something here." King Yan sat down in the seat.
Concubine Xu's eyes lit up. After dinner, it was too late, so why can the prince stay overnight? Although she is pregnant and cannot serve her,... Concubine Xu glanced at the maid standing beside her and nodded slightly. The maid's lips raised lightly, and she smiled in her eyes. The King of Yan didn't seem to notice the eye contact between the master and servant, and sat on the couch to drink tea.
Concubine Xu asked the maid to go to the kitchen to send the food of King Yan. After dinner, Concubine Xu personally brought tea to King Yan, sat down beside him, and said, "A few days ago, Mrs. Peng came to pay tribute to the princess, and chatted with me a few words, saying that the Imperial Guard was making Lord Xu's wife married for so many years, but she had not taken a concubine to Lord Xu. It was so jealous."
Who doesn't want to hug him? He is just as honest as her father, and has two concubines. She doesn't believe that Lord Xu doesn't want to take a concubine. If the prince rewards him with a few beauties, he will not dare to refuse him?
