I had received a letter from Fang Yiai a long time ago, and I knew that Sun Yunniang, who had adopted Fang Yiai in her early years, had been found by Fang Yiai in Lizhou.
Mrs. Fang knew that Fang Yiai had been caring about Sun Yunniang and his wife over the years, and she was also grateful to Sun Yunniang and his wife for extending a helping hand to Fang Yiai and not letting her child freeze to death outdoors in the heavy snow.
Knowing that Fang Yiai was returning to Beijing with the Crown Prince and Wei Zheng today, Mrs. Fang had asked people to clean up Sun Yunniang's guest room early, prepare hot water and food, and even the clothes because she didn't know Sun Yunniang's stature.
We have prepared several sets for each size, and when the time comes, whichever size fits us, we will just add the size according to that size.
Instructing the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch early, Mrs. Fang neatly handled the matters in the house, changed into clean and simple clothes for guests, looked at the sky from time to time, asked the time, and guessed what Fang Yiai was waiting for.
They were almost at the city gate, so they hurriedly urged Lian'er to prepare the carriage quickly, and took Fang Yize to Mingde Gate early to wait.
Seeing Mrs. Fang opening the car curtains to look out from time to time, and asking "Why haven't you arrived yet?", Lian'er and Lan'er who followed were helpless and could only persuade "Madam, please be patient."
, Second Young Master and the others will be here in a moment."
Mrs. Fang responded, but the next moment she couldn't help but lift the curtain and peek outside.
Knowing why the wife, who had been calm in the past, was so out of control this time, Lian'er and Lan'er took turns to persuade her, saying that she was able to take care of the second young master so politely, so she must be a stable and sensible person.
Let the madam not be so frightened and worried.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Even the younger Fang Yize felt that Mrs. Fang was a little abnormal today, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "Is it possible that something happened to my second brother?" This is Fang Yize.
The only reason Yize could think of to make his mother lose her composure.
"If your second brother is doing well, don't curse your second brother with a crow's mouth." Mrs. Fang pretended to pull Fang Yize's fair and tender face and said, "Hurry up and take it off."
Fang Yi sighed, scratched his head and asked even more puzzledly, "Nothing happened to my second brother, why are you so nervous?"
"I..." Mrs. Fang couldn't answer. She was startled for a moment and thought, yes, why am I so uncontrollable? Just like what Lian'er and Lan'er said, since she taught Yiai like this, she should
It's also a good thing. Besides, Yi Ai respects her as her mother, so why isn't she Yi Ai's biological mother? When they meet, it's easy to talk to her, so just bring her to be more affectionate. There's no need to be so nervous.
Thinking like this, Mrs. Fang's mood gradually calmed down, and she sat in the carriage, waiting for the arrival of Fang Yiai and his party.
At the end of Si Shi, Li Chengqian and Fang Yiai arrived at Mingde Gate.
Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng and others greeted Mrs. Fang and entered Chang'an first.
Fang Yiai said hello in front of Sun Yunniang's carriage window, dismounted and came to Mrs. Fang's carriage to greet her, and said, "Mom, why do you have to go there in person in such a hot day? Let's go there in person?
Uncle Shen just asks someone to pick him up."
"Go, I'm too lazy to pick you up. It's not your first trip out of Beijing." Mrs. Fang held Fang Yiai's hand, lifted her skirt, got off the carriage, and said, "Mother is picking up my sister from the Sun family. You
Boy, step aside."
With that said, Mrs. Fang gave Fang Yiai a look that said, "You kid, don't put gold on your face." She generously led Lian'er and Lan'er towards the carriage beside Sun Yunniang.
Fang Yiai looked up speechlessly and rolled her eyes. When she turned around, she saw Fang Yize covering her mouth and snickering on the side of the car. "You are so capable, how dare you snicker at my second brother." Fang Yiai pretended to be.
Then with a loud bang, Fang Yize was lifted out of the carriage.
"Second brother, mother has been nervous all morning today." Fang Yize hugged Fang Yiai's neck and whispered.
Fang Yiai pinched Fang Yize's nose and said, "Brother brought you something good. Let Fang Qi bring it to your room later." She hugged Fang Yize and walked towards Sun Yunniang and Mrs. Fang.
"Stop moving!" Mrs. Fang quickly stretched out her hand to stop Sun Yunniang, who was struggling to move out of the carriage, and said, "There are no outsiders, and we don't need those false courtesy."
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mrs. Fang, but I feel very sorry to have to go all the way on such a hot day." Sun Yunniang sat in the carriage apologetically and greeted Mrs. Fang.
"As a family, why do you have to say those unreasonable words?" Mrs. Fang said angrily, "You have taught your sister your legacy so well, is it possible that you can't treat your sister as a sister to pick you up? Stop saying those unorthodox words.
.”
"Okay, let's not talk anymore." Sun Yunniang responded with a smile. Seeing that Mrs. Fang was so neat and refreshing, she was completely relieved of her initial anxiety.
"Sister, you'd better get in the car quickly. The sun outside is too hot. If it gets too hot for a while, it won't be good if it makes the children worried." Sun Yunniang followed Mrs. Fang's words and said with concern.
"Mom, let me help you up." Fang Yiai, who happened to be walking over, stretched out her hand to help Mrs. Fang.
"Is this the legacy of Yiai's younger brother?" Sun Yunniang looked at the little boy in Fang Yiai's arms and asked Mrs. Fang who had just settled down in the car.
"Yi Ze, call me aunt." Mrs. Fang reached out and took Fang Yize, who was placed on the shaft of the car by Fang Yiai, and said.
"Aunt." Fang Yize called obediently, looking at Sun Yunniang curiously.
"Good, good children. All of my sister's children are so lovable." Sun Yunniang said with praise.
"Sister Cheng praised me," Mrs. Fang said cheerfully. She looked up and saw Fang Yiai still outside the carriage and said, "You kid, why are you still standing here? Is it possible that you don't have to go to the palace to repeat the order?"
"Oh, that's not what I am..." Fang Yiai smiled naively, thinking of an excuse.
"Is it possible that you still want to hear the embarrassing things your mother and sister said about your boy?" Mrs. Fang said.
"My mother and my godmother don't talk about my son's embarrassing things casually. How dare my son talk too much? I will go to the palace right away." Fang Yiai said quickly.
"Go quickly, lest my sister and I say anything, and you kid will be embarrassed again." Sun Yunniang also said with a cooperative smile.
Seeing that the two mothers were getting along well, Fang Yiai winked and signaled to Fang Yize to keep an eye on her, and then she rode towards the palace.
After coming out of the palace, it was still early. Thinking that Sun Yunniang's legs and feet were inconvenient, Fang Yiai went to Fang Xuanling to say hello, then simply went to the general supervisor, drew the drawings of the wheelchair, and discussed the production with the generals.
I asked them to help me make the wheelchair as soon as possible, and then I went home in time for dinner.
Seeing that Mrs. Fang and Sun Yunniang really got along well, Fang Yiai was completely relieved, and Sun Yunniang was temporarily persuaded by Mrs. Fang to stay in Fang's house.
Because Sun Yunniang came back, Chai Shao let Lu Yi go home in the evening.
When Sun Yunniang saw Lu Yi, she couldn't help but sigh and sigh.
A few days later, Li Shimin commended Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng and others for the disaster relief work in Lizhou. As a result, Fang Yiai changed from a high-ranking attendant to a distinguished attendant in the East Palace, although Fang Yiai still accompanied him.
The kind of scholar who is a prince's teacher is not the kind of scholar who advises and resolves doubts. Fortunately, he has become a good scholar and can receive a little more salary.
Although Fang Yiai's rank as an attendant was only assigned to the sixth rank, and it was still a false title. Fortunately, he was finally promoted, which is much higher than the ninth rank of Hanlin Medicine who had been stationary for many years.
Now that you have been promoted, there is no reason not to be slaughtered.
Fang Yiai, who was bleeding profusely, was forced to go to the Hu Ji Restaurant in Kanglefang by Changsun Huan, Du He, Qin Huaiyu, Lu Yi, and Xue Rengui to be brutally slaughtered. On the way, the prince and Li Zhi also came to join in the fun.
Because the prince did a good job, he also helped Li Shimin to pick up the old home of King Xi's remnants. Although not all of them were wiped out, they were basically beaten. This made Li Shimin feel very relieved, so he gave a lot to the prince.
face.
Even when Li Chengqian took the opportunity to ask for Wu Meiniang, Li Shimin, like Empress Changsun, said that if the girl looked stable, he would agree to Li Chengqian's request.
Even Emperor Li Yuan came forward and nodded, saying that if Wu Meiniang looked good, she would make Li Chengqian his concubine.
In the compliment conveyed to Lizhou officials, he also included a message from the Queen, asking Mrs. Wu to bring Sister Wu Meiniang to the capital to see the August Festival garden party.
Now that the prince's marriage has been put on the agenda, the marriage of Wei King Li Tai and Shu King Li Ke, who are not very different in age from the prince, has naturally been brought up as well.
Li Tai took the opportunity to reveal to Empress Changsun that he wanted to marry Yan Wanru. Since Li Ke's biological mother, Concubine Yang, was here to marry Li Ke, Empress Changsun naturally left it to Concubine Yang to make her own decision.
At the same time, in order to gain face in front of Li Shimin, Li Tai petitioned Li Shimin, saying that he wanted to follow the example of Li Shimin when he opened a literature museum. He wanted to open a Chongwen Museum, compile "Kuo Di Zhi", and use pen and paper to describe the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains left a mark on every inch of land in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Tai's shot of the horse was accurate. Seeing his son's progress, Li Shimin happily agreed, ignoring his intention of opening a literature museum to recruit people with lofty ideals, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Shimin's act of agreeing to Li Tai's request made Li Chengqian feel nervous. His previous pride in winning awards for running errands suddenly subsided, and he gradually became more calm. He did not make any radical remarks or comments about Li Tai's Chongwen Museum.
move.
Because she knew that Sun Yunniang was Sun Simiao's daughter and had good medical skills, even when Sun Simiao was not found, Sun Yunniang was invited into the palace many times to nurse Changsun Queen. She even visited Princess Changle's mansion many times.
At the same time, the news that Sun Yunniang was Fang Yiai's adoptive mother and the person who taught Fang Yiai his medical skills also spread like wildfire in the capital. Immediately, Sun Yunniang became the first choice for female relatives in various mansions to seek medical advice.
Fang Yiai is naturally happy to see Sun Yunniang being busy and not immersed in worries.
In early August, Mrs. Wu took Wu Meiniang and her two sisters to Beijing to participate in a disguised blind date garden party in mid-August.
After the garden party, the lists of the Crown Princess, Princess Shu, and Princess Wei were released one after another.
After the list was finalized, Fang Yiai breathed a long sigh of relief.
As expected, the Crown Princess was Wu Meiniang, whom Li Chengqian had long admired.
Concubine Shu was not surprised, Concubine Yang still chose the daughter of the Yang family.
Regarding the matter of Princess Wei being Yan Wanru, Fang Yiai was a little dizzy for a while. She thought to herself, could it be that Li Tai really went to Yan Wanru for what happened at Chongfu Temple?
When she saw Yan Wanru again, Fang Yiai found that Yan Wanru was neither happy nor displeased with her own marriage. He was polite and polite, and could not find any unusual emotions at all.
Because Emperor Li Yuan said he wanted to have a lively New Year, the marriages of Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai were all held one after another before the year. Although it was a bit hasty, fortunately, there were no problems.
Because the second year was the first time that the scientific examination was resumed every three years, many people taking the examination had already poured into the capital in large numbers, adding even more excitement to the bustling Chang'an.
In all the elegant places in the capital, there were many officials gathering to talk. Because the young ladies of the right age who had failed to get married to the prince and the two princes quickly turned their attention to the officials who came to take the exam, hoping to get married as soon as possible.
Choose a good husband-in-law.
For a time, on a windy and snowy night, red sleeves were fragrant, and the entire cold winter in the capital was filled with the vitality of spring and the enthusiasm of summer.
Before the Chinese New Year, the Fang family also received a letter from Fang Yizhi announcing that Xiao Tingting was finally pregnant with a child after their marriage.
Mrs. Le Fang didn't close her mouth all day, looking around for good things, and asked Sun Yunniang to prescribe a few pairs of anti-fetal medicines, and grabbed them all, along with big and small bags, and two experienced people to serve them.
The pregnant mother-in-law was sent to Xiaoyi County together to take care of the pregnant Xiao Tingting.
If it were another season, Mrs. Fang might have had someone pick Xiao Tingting back up and serve her at home. But in winter, the road was slippery and the weather was cold. She was afraid that Xiao Tingting would make another mistake on the road, so she could only send someone away.
go.
If it hadn't been for the New Year's Eve, maybe Mrs. Fang would have followed.
Look, Mrs. Fang has already started counting the days for Xiao Tingting's delivery with her fingers. She wonders whether she should rush there a few days in advance, or wait for the weather to improve and have someone take Xiao Tingting back to give birth?
Before the Chinese New Year, Fang Yiai and Sun Yunniang, who were preparing to take Sun Yunniang to live in their house temporarily, welcomed two guests, a man and a woman, in the small courtyard they built near the hospital.
The girl is Jin Ling'er, whom she hasn't seen for many days. Although the boy, Fang Yiai, doesn't know her, his stature makes Fang Yiai look familiar, but he has never seen his face before.
But from the look on Sun Yunniang's face, she obviously knew who that man was.
Seeing Jin Ling'er's big belly and the intimate behavior between the two, Fang Yiai and Sun Yunniang looked at each other in surprise. They stared at Jin Ling'er with wide eyes and were speechless for a moment.
, I even forgot about inviting people into the house to drink tea.
It was only after Jin Ling'er called out "Godmother" as a reminder that the two of them realized that Jin Ling'er was a pregnant woman and if she had anything to say, she had to go inside to warm up before asking.
