There was no delay in the return journey, and we arrived at Jingningbo Mansion an hour later.
Although Jingning's mansion is also their own, the Cui family obviously has more affection for the uncle's mansion in the capital. Even though it is not spacious or magnificent enough, it is a well-deserved home.
After all, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
The journey was tiring, but the young man was fine, but Aunt Cui couldn't bear it. As soon as she returned to Fuxi Yuan, she lay down for most of the day and didn't recover until the afternoon.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't dare to take it lightly, and was relieved when she saw that her complexion improved.
Aunt Cui was both helpless and annoyed at her nervousness. She smiled and shook her head: "You have taken good care of your body over the years. How can you be so fragile? You just love to worry."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled sheepishly: "I'm just worried. You are our backbone. You are tired and we feel bad."
Aunt Cui clapped her hands to express comfort.
"By the way, I'm going back to my parents' house today on the second day of the Lunar New Year. You've been watching over me these days. Do you have time to go back?"
"It won't take much time to go back, there's no rush." Ye Zhenzhen said: "Weizhen is going to visit the Master. When he comes back, he will go back with me."
Aunt Cui nodded: "That's right. You don't have to be in a hurry to come back in the afternoon. Just have dinner at your parents' house."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little hesitant. Aunt Cui's natal family was far away in Taiyuan. It was sad enough that she couldn't go home. She really couldn't bear to let her be alone in the house.
At this time, Cui Zhiming, who was playing jigsaw puzzles with Cui Zhidan, raised his head and said: "Aunt, I will stay at the house to accompany my uncle today."
Before Ye Zhenzhen could make a decision, Aunt Cui made the final decision: "Yes, you will stay with me, so you can rest assured and go back to your parents' home."
After all, Ming Ming's identity is embarrassing, so it's best to stay with her.
Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to agree.
Not long after, Cui Weizhen, who was visiting his wife, came back. He first went to Fuxi Courtyard to greet his mother, and after talking for a while, he went to Mingxi Courtyard. At this time, Ye Zhenzhen was looking at the gift list for her parents' home.
There is no need to personally pack up the gifts for returning to your parents’ home. Yuxiu used to prepare them, but now that she is getting married, this task has been handed over to Qiu Wu. Fortunately, there has always been a routine, and some additions were made according to Ye Zhenzhen’s wishes.
Just reduce it.
Ye Zhenzhen put down the gift list, pulled Cui Weizhen to sit next to her, poured him another cup of tea, and said distressedly: "You have had a hard time today, do you want to rest for a while before going back with me?"
Traveling to several places a day, isn't it a toss-up? But that's how it is during the New Year. He can't push back these trips even if he wants to, especially when he goes back to his parents' house with his wife. How dare he refuse to give it a try? He can just sleep in the study the next day.
"I'm not tired. My father-in-law and mother-in-law should be waiting impatiently. I will accompany you back to your parents' home as soon as possible, and you can spend more time with your family."
Ye Zhenzhen looked impressed. She served tea and water, patted her back and rubbed her shoulders more and more attentively. Cui Weizhen couldn't help but laugh, thinking that such service was really rare. It was obvious that she liked to hear good things.
The servants prepared the carriages and horses, and prepared the return gifts. Ye Zhenzhen, with a handsome man on her left hand and a fat boy on her right, returned to her parents' home together.
Tongshanfang was as lively as ever. As soon as the carriage carrying Jingning's residence entered the inner square, it was discovered by the children playing in the square. They rushed to shout: "Mrs. Ning Guo has returned to her natal family! Mrs. Ning Guo has returned to her natal family!"
Poor Cui Weizhen, the dignified Minister of Household Affairs, and Uncle Jing Ning, were riding a big horse through the city in a swaggering manner. Their handsomeness and grace were unparalleled, but they did not deserve to have a name in Ye Zhenzhen's natal family.
Of course, Cui Weizhen is used to this. After all, it is in Tongshanfang, and Zhen'er is famous. Although the Ye family has only settled here for a few years, the neighbors in the square are all proud of it.
Ye Zhenzhen had already anticipated this situation and had prepared a lot of snacks before coming. She ordered the little maid: "Jade plate, take the prepared food box down. There are some candy snacks in it and share them with the children."
Bar."
Jade Pan picked up the box, her round face full of smiles: "Madam is kind-hearted, the little babies are blessed."
It's a pity that she was not lucky enough to meet such a kind and noble person as Madam when she was a child. Every time she went back to her parents' home, she would give snacks to the little kids in the neighborhood. What child wouldn't like such a kind and generous person?
Although the residents of Tongshanfang are not poor, not all of them have spare money to buy snacks for their children, let alone delicious food like those produced by Jingning Bofu.
To put it bluntly, every time the snacks my wife brings are the most delicious ones those little kids have ever eaten in their lives.
After the jade plate was lowered, the children's excited cheers came one after another. Listening to their pure joy and gratitude, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but smile, enjoying the joy of Santa Claus.
As soon as she turned around, she met her son's doubtful gaze, and she taught: "Mencius said, if you are poor, you can be good to yourself; if you are rich, you can be good to the world. Although we cannot be good to the world, we can bring more to the people around us within the scope of our ability.
It is also possible to bring happiness and help. For example, now, the cost of these snacks is insignificant to us, but for these children who have no chance to taste them all year round, this is equivalent to supreme deliciousness and
The sweet memories and our little effort are enough for them to live a good year happily, so why not do it."
Cui Zhiduan nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Mother, is this also your original intention in founding Yongshan Hall?"
"Yes."
Perhaps it was because she had never been short of money in her previous life. After her quality of life was guaranteed, Ye Zhenzhen didn't have much obsession with money, but focused more on spiritual pursuits.
Some people think that it is a very stupid act for her to spend a lot of money on charity, but she does not think so, probably because they have different pursuits.
"The essence of charity is that giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance in your hands. Doing this requires spending money. Although my mother's national color and rouge shops are opened all over the country, most of the income is invested in charity. If mother didn't
Set up a charity hall, and the money will be yours in the future."
When Ye Zhenzhen said this, she paused slightly and carefully observed her son's expression - this was the first time she had talked about this issue with her son so directly. After all, in many people's minds, her tone was like spending money on outsiders.
It's better to leave it to your own son.
My son has reached a sensible age, and I don’t know what he thinks.
What is gratifying is that Cui Zhiduan did not feel distressed, but said: "This is the money earned by my mother. You can spend it how you want. Dad said that if a man wants money, he must earn it himself."
."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled happily: "Yes, our Wangzi is really ambitious."
The smooth spread of her national beauty all over the country is not due to her alone. First, Wang Qi traveled around the country to manage it, and second, she had the support of the imperial court.
After all, she used most of the income from Rouge Factory and Rouge Shop for charity. Emperor Xuanwu and the Queen saw it and praised her very much. No matter how jealous others were, they would not dare to exclude or suppress her. Otherwise, then, then,
