Chapter nine hundred and fiftieth eight: smug
Old Lady Ye and Maggie Cheung made the final decision?
Ye Chunqiu was so surprised that he couldn't speak. The old man and his young man immediately looked like bargaining with a tense face, and he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.
At this time, Old Lady Ye took a sip of tea, and seemed to have said too much, and her mouth was a little dry, so she smacked her lips, and then continued: "Now everything is ready, I just need the east wind, I'm waiting for you to express your opinion. Spring and Autumn, our Ye family members should be kind. Look, the girl's family has promised it. If you refuse, can they still marry in the future? Being a man must be responsible..."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Dafather, don't mention this matter anymore. Jingchu is still pregnant now. Although she doesn't say it, she is afraid that she may not feel comfortable in her heart. As for Qingxia, this matter is over here. As long as you don't spread the matter of taking a concubine, outsiders will not know it, and there is no impact on reputation."
However, Old Lady Ye said something amazing: "But I have already said that everyone in the house knows that Qingxia promised to be your concubine."
Damn it.
Ye Chunqiu felt that ten thousand grass horses were running by in his heart, and he didn't know what to say. He pondered for a long time before saying, "The court will discuss the matter the next day. Dafa, this court discussion is very important. I will deal with this matter first and let it go."
Without giving Old Lady Ye another chance to stab him, Ye Chunqiu was busy finding an excuse to go to the backyard.
When he returned to his room, Wang Jingchu and Maggie were sitting on the couch and making a girl-red woman. When Maggie saw Ye Chunqiu coming, she got up and wanted to salute: "Young master, my wife teaches me about girl-red woman-red woman."
"Oh, that's it." Ye Chunqiu didn't know what expression to use, but she smiled and said gently: "Maggie should learn it well, and it's good to learn it. It's always good to have a skill to be with you."
Thinking about the words of Old Lady Ye just now, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He immediately sat down. Maggie hurriedly brought Ye Chunqiu a cup of tea, and then left.
Wang Jingchu was still making needles and thread in his hand and said, "Husband, look... these are hundreds of clothes sewn by the little concubine. These materials are collected by each company. Well, how about it?"
Ye Chunqiu looked roughly. The so-called Baijia Clothes means that if someone is waiting for childbirth, he will ask for scattered cloth from his neighbors and relatives and friends, sew it into a "Baijia Clothes" for the child to wear, which means that he can get the blessings of Baijia Clothes. Children will have fewer illnesses and less disasters, and will easily grow up. It also means that children are poor and humble, thinking that poor and humble are easy to live, Ye Chunqiu put his hand on her shoulder, stood behind her and looked at her for a moment, and said, "The needlework is very neat, Jingchu is amazing."
Wang Jingchu is pregnant and has become much plump. She raised her eyebrows slightly and opened her cherry mouth and said, "I don't know why, I always feel that you have become unfamiliar with Maggie. This Maggie has a lot of respect for you. She said that if it weren't for you, their sisters would not be able to live anymore. She said that she looked at you as a scholar, but now she has a very different identity, but she still seems to be in Ningbo..." Wang Jingchu smiled and said, "When she said this, I was jealous. If I knew you in Ningbo, I would like to see what that stupid scholar in Ningbo is like."
Ye Chunqiu said laughing and crying: "That's just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, pretending to be stupid."
"Is that true?" Wang Jingchu raised his eyes and looked at him, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Ye Chunqiu wandered for a while before saying, "Also, that Maggie..."
Wang Jingchu blinked his starry eyes and said, "Oh, I naturally know what my husband is going to say, um... Are you afraid I will be really jealous? I won't be able to do it! Humph, if it is spread, wouldn't everyone say that the Wang family's tutor? In this capital, which master is not a wife or concubine? Let's talk about the late emperor. Empress Dowager Zhang, the last emperor, is a wife of Empress Dowager Zhang. Now many people still say that Empress Dowager Zhang is jealous. I am not trying to help you, but I am trying to help myself, so that people will not say that I am not bad, but I dare not let someone..."
Ye Chunqiu actually felt it made sense and couldn't help laughing and crying for a while: "Let's talk about this, I only have you and the children in my heart."
Ye Chunqiu and Wang Jingchu had some warmth and wanted to discuss with Qingxia for a while, but they didn't see Qingxia for the past or two days. It turned out that she had returned to the female clinic in the capital.
Only when Maggie Cheung saw him, she always had a smile in her eyes and occasionally stuck out her tongue. Ye Chunqiu pretended not to see him, and was hesitant for a moment. However, the court discussion was about to begin, Ye Chunqiu had to calm down and go to the palace to meet him as usual. Zhu Houzhao was very happy to see him, saying, "I heard that after I got the land in Zhenguo Mansion, I specially opened a farm. Why? I thought you used to open a workshop. Do you actually need to grow grain?"
Ye Chunqiu could not have imagined that Zhu Houzhao's eyes and ears were so wise, so he said, "Yes, I plan to farm."
Ye Chunqiu did open a 5,000-acre farm in the land under the jurisdiction of the Zhenguo Mansion, led by the Institute of Agriculture and Forestry, but he didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao would hear the news so soon.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I have a hard time now. Since my uncles and kings entered the capital, I can only stay in the palace. Oh, it's strange that the King of Zhou went to see his mother and had a full secret talk for an hour. After the talk, I heard from the people at Renshou Palace that the mother had not slept all night last night."
Standing beside Zhu Houzhao is Liu Jin.
Liu Jin was looking at Ye Chunqiu with a confident look.
It goes without saying that it must be the King of Zhou who went to see the Empress Dowager and put pressure from the royal family. Although Empress Dowager Zhang is Ye Chunqiu's adopted mother, she is also the empress dowager. The royal family has rebounded so much, how can she sleep?
Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips, ignoring Liu Jin's proud gaze, and just said, "The Empress Dowager must pay attention to her health. As a son of man, Your Majesty should visit him from time to time."
Zhu Houzhao spread his hands and said helplessly: "I'm still asleep now, how can I visit me? This day is so boring."
Zhu Houzhao shook her head and then looked a little impatient.
Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "If Your Majesty is idle, why not play chess."
Zhu Houzhao shook her head and said, "Forget it, I always lose when playing chess. You guy, I won't let me."
Ye Chunqiu laughed in his heart and had to say, "I am ashamed."
It was late, and Ye Chunqiu said goodbye. Liu Jin took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I will send you a gift to Duke Zhenguo."
Zhu Houzhao nodded.
Liu Jin sent Ye Chunqiu out and followed Ye Chunqiu, looking away from the warm pavilion. Liu Jin said, "Duke Zhenguo, I will discuss it tomorrow."
"What then?" Ye Chunqiu looked at Liu Jin with an expressionless face.
Liu Jin smiled and said, "It's nothing. Actually, we have no grudges with Duke Zhenguo. However, there is someone who has been restless in sleeping and eating. Does Duke Zhenguo know who this person is?"
