Bojue Baigu, both court and grand. Xu Lingyi put down the brush in his hand and looked at the flying and dancing wild grass on the rice paper with satisfaction. He smiled and raised his head and asked Eleven Niang beside him, "Ting, what do you think?"

The word "court" here means upright and straight. With the word "shuo" at the end, it also implies multiple meanings.

Okay. Eleven Niang nodded slightly: This is a good name.

On September 26, Mrs. Jiang gave birth to her eldest son successfully.

Xu Lingyi is giving him a name.

Xu Lingyi listened, took out another piece of rice paper, wrote the word "court" in official script, and called Denghua in: "Give it to the fourth young master."

Because Mrs. Jiang gave birth to her eldest grandson, everyone in the house was rewarded. Everyone was happy.

Denghua responded with a smile and hurried to Xu Sizhen's place.

Xu Lingyi discussed the matter with Eleven Niang: After brother Ting's baptism is over, I'm going to go out.

Eleven Niang was stunned: Are you waiting for Brother Ting’s full moon gift?

Xu Lingyi said, "It will be too late when you wait for his full moon ceremony."

Where is Mr. Hou going?

Take the road from Xuantong to Jiayuguan.

Jiayuguan is an important military area, and Xu Lingyi has visited places like this these few times he went out. Based on Xu Lingyi's experience, he would go to these places where he fought in his youth and brought him glory, and relive those high-spirited years.

, Eleven Niang can understand it very well.

Lord Marquis, be careful. She told him to bring more guards with him. It's very remote over there, so if anything happens, it will be troublesome.

It's okay. Xu Lingyi smiled and said, I will take the post road and stay at the post station like last time. After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and said, I think, I will let brother Jin go with me this time. He added, such an opportunity

Not too much, let him experience it.

In ancient times, transportation was not as developed as modern times. It was not easy to go out. Some people never left the ten-mile radius of their residence. Opportunities like this were indeed rare.

Eleven Niang naturally agreed.

Xu Lingyi told her: During the days when we are not at home, you and Mr. Bai will discuss sorting out the Qingyang residence in the outer courtyard. If you need to add something, add it, and if it needs to be renovated, renovate it. After the New Year, you can move his things there.

.

In this way, Brother Jin really became independent from her arms.

Eleven Niang felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Thinking of the time when Xu Sijian had a rash, the third lady kept him for an extra year. Eleven Niang thought that the third lady was too pampered with the child. When it was her turn, she understood the third lady's mood.

I see.

Qingyangju is a relatively large courtyard in the outer courtyard, with four entrances and three exits. The west waist of the mansion is only about 20 years away from it, so it is very convenient to get in and out.

In the afternoon, Eleven Niang took Amber to see the yard.

The wooden windows in the yard are all very good, but they are sloppily cleaned, dusty everywhere, and uninhabited for a long time, making it somewhat empty and even desolate.

Let's plant some flowers and trees first," Amber said with a smile. In this way, when spring comes tomorrow, the yard will be lively and the house will be alive.

Are you afraid that it won’t be lively if he comes to live in? Eleven Niang said with a smile, “If you don’t say anything else, it’s just his birds and dogs. I’m afraid this yard won’t be able to accommodate them.”

Amber covered her sleeves and laughed after hearing this.

Mrs. Tai knew this but frowned: She didn’t leave before Brother Ting’s full moon ceremony. Seeing that the New Year was about to come, why not go after the New Year?

Now, Mrs. Tai's greatest pleasure is to see Brother Zhong Sun Ting.

It would be interesting to go to Jiayuguan in winter, Xu Lingyi said with a smile, but it would be meaningless in spring.

Seeing that her son persisted, the wife said nothing more.

There was a commotion on the Fifth Madam's side.

I want to go too. I want to go too. Brother Shen is hanging around with my mother. Brother Jin has gone with her several times, but I have never gone out even once.

The Fifth Madam has been busy proposing to Sister Xin these days, and even Brother Cheng has not held her in her arms for some days.

Mother Shi, pull the seventh young master out. She is very worried.

Xu Lingkuan felt that his daughter was still young, but the fifth wife was afraid of delaying it. The two of them had some disagreements about this matter, and neither of them was very satisfactory. Either the family background was not rich enough, or the mother-in-law was too young, or else

It’s just that the male protagonist is not good-looking. She is thinking about whether to ask Eleven Niang to help find out. One more person and one more path.

Brother Shen hugged the legs of the table and refused to leave: I'm going, I'm going. If you don't agree, I'll tell my grandfather to go.

The fifth lady has a headache: Your fourth uncle is going to Jiayuguan, not Jiangnan. In addition to the wind and sand, there are many barbarians there. Be careful of being robbed and sold.

Brother Shen was unmoved: Brother Jin can go, so can I.

Your fourth uncle is already having a hard time taking Brother Jin, and there is no way he can bring one more.

I just need to bring my grandfather's bodyguard with me.

The mother and son were talking with red faces when Xu Lingkuan came back.

The fourth brother is going to Jiayuguan. He is very excited, even more excited than Brother Shen. I wanted to go back then. My mother refused to let me go. I didn’t go. She said, picked up Brother Shen, let’s go and tell your fourth uncle.

Say, let's go together

Brother Shen shouted and jumped up.

On the contrary, the fifth lady didn't care about what she was worried about since her husband was following her.

Mrs. Tai personally chose an auspicious day, and the two brothers took Brother Jin and Brother Shen out of Yanjing City.

Xu Sizhen was in charge of the general affairs of the outer courtyard. The Eleventh Mother was busy decorating Brother Jin's house, attending the Wanshou Festival banquet, sending New Year's gifts, and buying New Year's goods. The Fifth Madam was busy looking for her husband's family for Sister Xin. Mrs. Tai every day

I went to see Brother Ting with a smile, and sometimes I stayed with Yingying who went to greet her old man for a long time. The days soon came to December.

Xu Lingkuan and Brother Shen came back. Xu Lingyi and Brother Jin were not seen.

Fan Weigang left his fourth brother in Xuantong. Xu Lingkuan said sarcastically, "I have to go on errands, so I brought Brother Shen back first."

Eleven Niang was very surprised that they didn't go home for the New Year.

It looked like he would never come back. Xu Lingkuan smiled sheepishly at Eleven Niang.

This fourth brother, Brother Ting, was not at home during the full-moon ceremony and the 100-day ceremony, but was still out celebrating the New Year. Madam Tai is a little displeased, and you don’t try to persuade your fourth brother.

I persuaded Xu Lingyi to shout that he was wronged. How could my fourth brother listen to me?

The madam said nothing more and called Xu Sichen in: I depend on you for everything at home. After thinking about it, if you don't understand, just ask your mother.

Xu Sichen responded respectfully, feeling deeply that the responsibility was heavy, but instead worrying about gains and losses, she would ask Eleven Niang about even a small matter, for fear of making a mistake. However, Eleven Niang wanted to go to King Yong and take advantage of Xu Si's

Zhun came over to ask her a question, and called Manager Bai in: The Chinese New Year is coming soon, is there anything special to explain when the Marquis leaves?

No one is worried about this matter, and it's easy for everyone else to talk about it. It's just that the Prince Yong's Mansion doesn't know what to give as a New Year's gift.

Eleven Niang's eyes fell on Xu Sizhen.

Xu Sizhen knew about King Yong's borrowing money. He thought about it and said: How about we secretly send some banknotes.

Eleven Niang nodded slightly and asked Manager Bai: Please help me prepare a banknote of two thousand taels.

Manager Bai understands, I will prepare now.

Eleven Niang implicitly told Xu Si: When I go to deliver New Year’s gifts to Prince Yong’s Mansion, I will bring them to Princess Yong.

Xu Sizhen lowered his head. He went back in the evening and whispered to Mrs. Jiang.

The child was fed by the nanny. After giving birth, Mrs. Jiang was back in shape. After hearing this, she was a little worried: Since the father-in-law didn’t explain it when he left, would we get too close to Prince Yong’s Mansion?

What should I do if I am implicated by King Yong?

No, no. Xu Sizhen has never thought about this problem. He feels that since we are relatives, we must take care of each other. The family is not short of money, and the things are given by mother on her own initiative. He has never felt that

There was something wrong. But then he thought about it, had Jiang not persuaded him a few days ago, he would not have been forgiven by his father so quickly. He felt that his wife's words had some truth. He couldn't help but hesitate.

That's what Jiang said. Seeing that Xu Sizhen was a little undecided, she began to think carefully.

If King Yong honestly serves as his prince and the prince ascends the throne, he will naturally be the most noble person. Having a good relationship with him will only bring benefits and no harm. But if King Yong has any thoughts

What's more, the father-in-law didn't give any special explanation before about sending the money to Prince Yong's Mansion.

Jiang felt scared thinking about it: Don't worry. I'll write a letter to my father and see what he says. She helped Xu Sizhen come up with ideas.

Xu Sizhen nodded.

A few days later, Jiang Bai's wife used the excuse of coming to see the child and sent her maid to talk to her in the inner room.

Your father and your uncle both have the same idea. Let you stay far away from the one in the palace and the one outside the palace. The emperor is in his prime and his days are still long. At this time

What he did was obviously not appropriate.

Mrs. Jiang said this to Xu Sizhen and asked him to send a message to Eleven Niang: My mother is in the courtyard and my father is not at home. Things in the temple are changing rapidly, so it is better to be careful.

The Marquis and Prince Yong are uncles and nephews. If something like this happened, it would be better if you didn’t ask for it. Now that you have asked for it, your father has found a way to pay off the debt. Seeing that the new year is approaching, we have to go there anyway. It’s too much.

We can't get the money out, so these two thousand taels of silver have to be saved from nowhere. Even if the emperor knew about it, he probably wouldn't say anything.

Xu Sizhen thought it made sense. He went back and told Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang smiled bitterly: Do you want to go to the prince's place? I heard that the prince's concubine and her mother-in-law have a close personal relationship. Now that something like this has happened, why should you tell the prince?

Xu Sichen reminded Eleven Niang tactfully.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: I have already been to the Crown Princess’s place.

He said to Amber in private: The Jiang family has put a lot of thought into Mrs. Jiang.
