Chapter 724： Saying and (Part 1)

Qi Xiuyuan heard that the couple were so irresponsible as their godson, so he scolded the two of them in anger until he was sweating. The body feels a lot more refreshed.

I didn’t expect that cursing would have such an effect.

Qi Xiuyuan glared at Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling once again, picked up the little bear and said, "My uncles and aunts are probably already waiting, let's go and have breakfast."

At this time, the sun has risen to the buttocks, which is the latest breakfast since Qi Xiuyuan took the throne.

The breakfast was placed in the side hall of Qianyuan Hall. Zhu Qing and Zhu Feng had been waiting there for a long time. They did not know what happened in the palace, but the emperor had not appeared until now, and they also guessed that something was delayed. .

The emperor was nowhere to be seen, and neither did the empress and Haoran's husband and wife. It seemed that this was not a small matter.

Aunt Zhu gave Xia a worried look, the Zhu family and the sister-in-law of the Xia family seemed to have bad luck. She thought of her parents-in-law who were worried until she closed her eyes, sighed faintly, and stepped forward to hold her hand. , a reassuring pat.

There was applause from the servants outside, and everyone stood up immediately.

Qi Xiuyuan led Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong in from left to right. Seeing Zhu Qing and others kneeling down, he quickly let go of the two children's hands, took two steps to help them up, and said with a smile, "Uncle, today is a family banquet. , not so much courtesy."

Zhu Qing raised his head and smiled gratefully, "I thank the emperor very much."

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and waved to Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin behind him, "Come and see uncle soon."

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin hurriedly brought Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia forward to kowtow to Zhu Qing and others. Zhu Qing was about to stop him when Qi Xiuyuan said: "Uncles just take it, this is what they should."

Zhu Qing loosened his hand, but only waited for them to kowtow before helping him up, and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, owe the rest first, and then come kowtow to me if you are disobedient."

He looked at Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia, and nodded with satisfaction, "Is this the nephews and daughters-in-law? Good, good, good!" He looked at Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin with relief, "If your grandfather and grandmother know that you have Being able to start a family and start a business will surely bring joy to the spirit of heaven, now that you have grown up, you should know the responsibilities of being a minister, a son, a husband, and a father.”

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin bowed and answered "yes".

Zhu Qing nodded and let Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia meet the two aunts of the Zhu family.

Aunt Zhu took out three boxes and said, "This is a gift from your grandfather and grandmother to you."

Qi Haoran's face was obviously unbelievable. His grandfather and grandmother passed away long ago. How could he even prepare gifts for A Ling and the others?

The expression on Qi Haoran's face was so obvious that Aunt Zhu glared at him and said, "This is prepared by you and Zijin before they were born, they are all jade bracelets cut from a piece of jade, there are five in total. Yes, when your grandfather left, he said, hold your mother and your aunt close first, here, the rest will be passed on to your cousin."

So there is also a pair of Li Jinghua.

Aunt Zhu handed the box to them, and explained with a smile: "It's not such a good jade, you probably don't care about it now, it's just the old man's heart."

The elders didn't dare to say no, not to mention that it was prepared by Qi Haoran and the others when they were not born, and even more so, Li Jinghua, including Li Jinghua, took the box respectfully.

Qi Xiuyuan glanced at Li Jinghua, and Li Jinghua smiled and invited the female family members to the side hall for dinner, leaving the main hall of the side hall to the men.

The sound insulation of the palace is good. Once the door is closed, unless the people in the main hall are shouting, the side hall cannot be heard.

Aunt Zhu and Aunt Zhu followed Li Jinghua, but the Xia Shi, who kept her head down, stayed behind. Thinking of what her cousin said to him last night, Fan Zijin knew what they were going to do.

Zhu Qing did come to make peace with their mother and son, which was one of the main purposes of his visit to Beijing this time.

Fuzhou is not close to Lin'an, but it's not far. Some news spread there quickly. Before, they only heard that Anguogong and his father were at odds. Stop, he and the second child can beat him half-hearted.

If you don’t get along, you won’t get along. Anyway, Zijin is also promising now, and his cousin is sitting above him. Could he still be wronged?

So Zhu Qing and the others were very relieved. They felt that their Zhu family had kindness to the emperor. At this time, it was not good to get too close, lest it would be difficult for the emperor to do it, and more people would focus on the Zhu family.

So they kept silently in Fuzhou.

But in the past six months, they have heard that Anguo Gong and his mother are not getting along. When Anguo Gong entered the capital and entered the city, he even lived in the Anguo Gong mansion. She would rather live in Qi Mansion and let Princess Rongjun take care of her than take the Xia family to take care of her.

Zhu Qing couldn't sit still anymore. Originally scheduled to set off in late August, his journey to the capital was changed in early September. He urgently sent the book to the emperor for 600 miles, hoping to allow him to enter the capital ahead of schedule.

It happened that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon. Qi Xiuyuan thought that he had not seen his two uncles for many years and also wanted to reunite the family for a reunion dinner, so he agreed.

Brother Zhuqing, with two daughters-in-law and a dozen loyal servants, drove all night, and finally arrived in the capital on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

He doesn't mind that Zijin has a bad relationship with his father, because what Fan Siwen has done is there. Although he will not separate the father and son again, he will never match them.

But Xia Tong is different. Xia Tong is his sister and also his responsibility. Compared with Fan Zijin's nephew, Xia Tong's sister is obviously heavier.

Although the surnames of the two families are different, they are not worse than siblings in terms of blood relationship. Xia Tong's mother is his aunt, but she is also his aunt. In addition, the Xia family has only one bloodline, so Zhu Qing has been instilled since childhood. To raise and take care of Xia Tong's thoughts, although the two are only five years apart, he has always raised this sister as a daughter.

She has suffered enough, her husband disrespected her like that, but she was in a quagmire, thinking only of Fan Siwen, if her only son still divorced her, what would she do with her life in the future?

Zhu Qing has already lost a sister and doesn't want to lose another, so here he comes.

At this moment, Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran knelt in front of Zhu Qing, and Xia Shi stood aside with red eyes.

Zhu Qing was so angry that he was facing Qi Haoran. If it wasn't for the scruples that Qi Xiuyuan was on the side, he would have kicked up earlier. Zhu Qing's family has always been hot-tempered. , get up for me, I'll teach my nephew, it's your turn to intervene? You were also brought up by your aunt, and instead of persuading your aunt and cousin to make peace, you mess around inside, what do you want to do? Don't think that you are now I won't dare to slap you if you're my lord."
