Concubine's Child-raising Strategy

After listening to Sima Qing'er's words, Li Xiuniang just smiled and replied: "There is nothing missing, second brother, so that's it." With Li Xiuniang's words, the second son of Li, Li Zhongqi, ordered Xiao Er, Go to the dishes.

Of course, tipping must be indispensable.

In the private room on the second floor, Sima Qing'er was sitting by the window, but she could also walk along the window, looking at the scenery of the street.Everything is in sight, watching the people coming and going, the bustling streets, but sitting quietly observing in the private room.Sima Qing'er was in a pretty good mood.

At this time Li Xiuniang smiled and said, "This year is a bumper harvest year. I heard people say that the empress will even entertain the imperial wives in the capital during the winter solstice."

Hearing Li Xiuniang's words, Bao Xianxuan looked very interested, and said with a smile: "Sister Li's news is really well-informed. Is it true? To be honest, if I can go to the palace to pay a visit to the empress, it would be really great." Good luck."

The second son of Li, Li Zhongqi, was at the side, watching his younger sister Li Xiuniang talk with Bao Xianxian, and looking at Sima Qing'er who was sitting there looking bored.

Speaking of which, Sima Qing'er was still curious about Li Xiuniang's gossip.It's just that, compared to these curiosities, which these female relatives are more concerned about, Miss Sima Qing'er prefers activities that are beneficial to physical and mental health.For example, riding a horse, hunting or something.

It seemed a little boring, but Miss Sima Qing'er still didn't want to be too out of group, so she followed the words and replied one after another.

The special dish in Zhiweilou is after it comes up.

Miss Sima Qing'er took a look at it.I was taken aback.

"What is this? I haven't seen it before." Sima Qing'er was born in the Shouning Marquis Mansion, so the delicious food she has eaten is naturally a lot.But when this special dish came up, it really surprised her.

"This can't be alive, right?" Miss Sima Qing'er was shocked when she saw the soft-shelled turtle rolling over in the gravure iron pot with its mouth open.To be honest, she really didn't expect such a cruel thing.

Killing is nothing more than nodding.It seems a bit inhumane to eat soft-shelled turtles and boil them alive.

"The soft-shelled turtle is even more delicious. Sister Sima, the iron-plated soft-shelled turtle is the most famous dish in Zhiweilou. There are many people who come here to eat it." Li Xiuniang was beside her.It was Sima Qing'er who introduced this story.

"Is this fish freshly boiled? Sister Li, if that's the case, isn't that fish still drinking the thick soup with seasonings?" Bao Xianyuan looked quite interesting, pointing at the soft-shelled turtle in the iron pot Said.

Li Xiuniang naturally affirmed this.Seeing this, Miss Sima Qing'er stopped talking.Then stop talking and look at the appearance of these people.Be a spectator.

Waiting for the iron plate turtle to be brought out in a smug manner.Li Xiuniang was still very much like a host, and even warmly persuaded Sima Qing'er and Bao Xianxian that they must try this special dish.

Sima Qing'er was taken aback when she saw Bao Xianxian's eagerness, but she tasted it for a while.After all, it has come.Miss Sima Qing'er wouldn't act like she didn't fit in.

To be honest, it tastes like sizzling turtle.Really very good.At least, Miss Sima Qing'er had to give a positive evaluation after tasting it.However, because of the way of cooking...it didn't suit Miss Sima Qing'er's taste, so she decided not to eat the iron plate turtle from Zhiweilou again.

While waiting to leave the Zhiwei Building, Li Xiuniang became interested and wanted to go to the Town God's Temple to burn incense.Bao Xianxian naturally agreed.Miss Sima Qing'er stayed behind, and when she was about to return home, Li Zhongqi, the second son of Li, rarely spoke, and said, "The chrysanthemum terrace not far from the Town God's Temple is the place with the most varieties of chrysanthemums in the capital. Miss Sima can go there. Shall we take a look?"

For chrysanthemums, Miss Sima Qing'er doesn't like them very much, and of course, she doesn't hate them either.After all, flowers are beautiful when they are in bloom.Seeing the seriousness of the second son Li Zhongqi, Miss Sima Qing'er felt that she always met this person these days, and she had a very good impression of the second son Li Zhongqi.

Therefore, when the weather was fine and the sky was blue, Miss Sima Qing'er agreed.

The chrysanthemum platform is called a platform.It is because it is in the center of a small water pavilion not far from the Town God's Temple.This place is more like a small island. When visiting the palace, apart from the only small bridge that can be crossed, there is only the small boat that can be rowed to the Chrysanthemum Terrace.

On the small island, rolling rockery.The Chrysanthemum Terrace is on top of these rockery.

In the artificial attic, between the railings, chrysanthemums of various colors are open to meet each other.Very beautiful scenery, like a fairyland.Therefore, when Sima Qing'er arrived at the Chrysanthemum Terrace, she was really shocked.

"It's so beautiful here." Miss Sima Qing'er praised her.However, after speaking, she looked around again and said, "It's just, why aren't there too many tourists?"

Seeing what Sima Qing'er said, Li Zhongqi, the second son of Li, laughed beside him, and replied: "Today, Daxiangguo Temple is holding a Dharma meeting. Most of the female relatives in the capital have gone to Daxiangguo Temple."

Sima Qing'er listened to Li Zhongqi's words, but nodded her head, she understood.Regarding this, she smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Li. If it wasn't for Mr. Li, I would never have known how beautiful the Chrysanthemum Terrace is." In this part of the capital, it is impossible for Sima Qinger not to have heard of the reputation of the Chrysanthemum Terrace.

Sima Qing'er just didn't care much about it.After all, there is also a large chrysanthemum forest in her family's Hou's mansion, and there are many beautiful scenery there, so it's nothing more than thinking about it.

Who would have thought that after coming to this fairy island-like place, Sima Qing'er overturned her previous guess.

"This beautiful scenery is not due to me. It's just a coincidence that I came to see it with Miss Sima. I can't thank the girl." After Li Zhongqi said this, he laughed and said: "Actually, I am a second in the house. If The girl doesn't dislike it, but you can call me Brother Li. After all, Sister She also deserves to be called Sister Li."

Hearing what Li Zhongqi said, Sima Qing'er saw that Li Zhongqi, the second son of the Li family, was already acquainted with him.Therefore, Li Zhongqi didn't lose face, and said with a smile: "Then I'll call you Brother Li, and you don't want to miss me, Miss Sima."

"Sister Sima?" Li Zhongqi smiled.Sima Qing'er did not refuse this time.After all, calling her sister with her surname is not a very close term.

After swimming past the Chrysanthemum Terrace, Li Zhongqi gave Sima Qing'er some special snacks from the Chrysanthemum Terrace as a gift.Sima Qing'er looked at it, it was all about eating and taking, so Pei felt embarrassed.So he wanted to refuse, but he didn't think about it, Li Zhongqi smiled and said: "It's just a small thing, sister Sima doesn't need to worry about it."

Once others turned over their kind intentions, Sima Qing'er was not the kind of person who was really hard-hearted, so she really accepted it.But after accepting the gift, she felt that she should return a copy.Therefore, after the plum blossoms bloomed in early winter, Li Zhongqi and Li Xiuniang brothers and sisters were given, each with a jar of plum blossom wine.

Li Xiuniang was still very surprised to receive the gift from Sima Qing'er.So, she asked her second brother Li Zhongqi privately, and said: "It's strange that Sima Qing'er gave a gift. Could it be, second brother, have you made some progress with her?"

To Li Xiuniang's curiosity, Li Zhongqi just replied calmly: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, lest you miss Sima's boudoir reputation."

"Look, this is all about Sister Sima... okay, okay, second brother, don't worry, my sister knows the importance, so don't dare to talk nonsense." Seeing Li Zhongqi's more and more serious expression, Li Xiuniang couldn't be in a hurry What words.

In fact, after talking with his younger sister Li Xiuniang, Li Zhongqi held his jar of plum blossom wine, and after returning to the yard where he lived, he really opened it and tasted it.

After Li Zhongqi had a drink, he asked the servant beside him, "Where's Madam?"

"How are you doing recently?" After Li Zhongqi asked this question, the servant hurriedly replied respectfully: "Madam is not in a good mood recently. The Duke seems to have rested in Ma Yiren's house recently."

After hearing these words, Li Zhongqi naturally knew it in his heart.This pleasant Mrs. Ma, who is granted the five-rank patent, is the favorite of Duke Ding.The biological mother of Li Zhongqi and Li Xiuniang, Mrs. Dingguo, has always been suffocated by this one.However, the master of the mansion is Lord Dingguo, so no matter how unhappy Li Zhongqi's biological mother is, there is no way to directly deal with this Ma Yiren who has the status of a concubine.

After Li Zhongqi heard these words, the light in his eyes flickered.

"This young master is quite clear about this matter." After Li Zhongqi replied, he poured another glass of plum blossom wine, and then he drank another glass.

To be honest, Plum Blossom Brew may not taste very good, and it is even worse than those high-quality wines.However, after Li Zhongqi learned that this was a rare and high-quality finished product made by Miss Sima Qing'er herself, he was very ostentatious.

After drinking, Li Zhongqi felt a little dizzy in his head, but he didn't say any more, he just went back to the room to rest for a while.

But when Li Zhongqi got up, the servant came to invite him, saying that something happened to Mrs. Dingguo.

Hearing this, Li Zhongqi went to his biological mother in no hurry.It was the servant who asked, "What's the matter?"

The boy naturally gave a perfect explanation.Li Zhong got up, and said: "I'm not going, I remember that I still have homework, so I'll go to the study first. You go and call the second girl to catch up with Zhi." Li Zhongqi was not going to see the conflict between his biological mother and Ma Yiren, Naturally, he asked his younger sister Li Xiuniang to persuade him.

From Li Zhongqi's point of view, Dingguo's mansion is a mess.And he can't rely on anyone, but he is trying to figure out for himself.

The young servant got what Li Zhongqi said, so he quickly agreed to leave. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
