Chapter 253
During the national funeral, even if relatives and friends get together, they can't hold a big feast, drink and talk and laugh recklessly, so the guests of the Xia Mansion just drink a few cups of tea in the front hall, eat some vegetarian snacks, and talk to Rong Pinghou for a long time After that, they gradually dispersed.

Old Mrs. Xia, Brother Xia Xiuping, and Zheng Jingyan were left. Zheng Jingyan was going to visit his mother-in-law in the backyard, so everyone went back to the backyard and had a chat with the female relatives. Zheng Jingyan saw Yiqing and his brother having fun on the couch. , so I took the opportunity to go over to see Xia Yiming, the eight-month-old Xia Yiming has already been able to crawl, and he is very lively and cute when he is babbling, he is crawling happily between the two sisters Crawling around, I saw Zheng Jingyan walking up to Yiqing and sitting next to her. The two seemed to be very close. The little guy tilted his head, and his big eyes rolled around twice. He probably figured out something, and soon climbed to Zheng Jingyan's place. In front of him, Zheng Jingyan stretched out his chubby little paw in a friendly manner. Zheng Jingyan held his hand, and the little guy nodded solemnly, making everyone in the room laugh with joy.

Before noon, Pang Shi, who had been promoted to Minister of Rites, brought his eldest son Pang Ruhai over to the house. The meal was just on the table, and everyone sat down to eat together. After the meal, the men went to the side hall to drink tea and talk. Take Yiqing to bid farewell and return to Hou Mansion.

The family sent the young couple to the Chuihua Gate to the carriage. Le Qing dragged her sister reluctantly, and Pang Ruxue was also puzzled. She tugged on Xia Xiuping's sleeve and asked, "Is the son-in-law in a hurry? It's only been a long time. I haven't spoken a few words with Qing'er yet, so I'm going back now..."

Xia Xiuping replied softly: "My son-in-law is a very busy person, he doesn't participate in the affairs of the court, but after the emperor comes down, he has to go to the palace, so he has to send Yiqing home right now!"

"Entering the palace? Who told you? What is he doing in the palace?"

"It's what my father-in-law said... The son-in-law will naturally be accompanied when he enters the palace, and the emperor cannot do without him!"

"But he is in such a hurry to enter the palace every day, so he has less time to accompany Qing'er. Qing'er is a healthy person now!"

"Uh, this..."

Pang Shizhi walked in front, and when he heard the conversation between his daughter and son-in-law, he had to turn his head back, looked at Pang Ruxue seriously, and taught him a lesson: "You have been taught by your grandparents a lot since you were a child, don't you know that family and country matters are more important than everything? If you only care about your children Love is long, how can you make meritorious deeds and shelter your children and grandchildren? Don’t worry too much about men’s affairs, take care of your housework, take care of your husband and children, and enjoy the blessings brought by your husband and son-in-law with peace of mind!”

Pang Ruxue lowered her head and replied humbly: "Daughter knows her mistake! Follow daddy's instruction!"

In the carriage, Yiqing pouted dissatisfiedly because she was going home so soon, Zheng Jingyan gently stroked her bright lips with his index finger, and said with a smile: "If you do this again, I will kiss you!"

Yiqing snorted dejectedly, then lowered her head and slipped into his arms resignedly.

Zheng Jingyan had made an agreement with her when she came here, but when she saw her mother and sister, who were talking vigorously, she wanted to get rid of her husband without hesitation, but unfortunately she couldn't, Zheng Jingyan smiled He is kind and gentle, talking kind words to his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, holding Yiqing in his hand and never letting go. Seeing such a situation, who would be ashamed to ask him to let Yiqing stay for half a day?
Zheng Jingyan comforted Yiqing and said: "At the beginning of the new emperor's ascension, many things have not been settled. I still have to stay by the new emperor's side. After a while, when everything is settled, I have plenty of time to accompany you. You love staying at your mother's house." As long as I stay, I will accompany you!"

Yiqing raised her head and looked at him strangely: "Ah Yan, you are busy with state affairs, I can understand, I didn't have to ask you to accompany me, didn't I come over when you were away for a few months? You go to work yourself Yours, I'll play at my mother's house for a while, and go home before dinner, it's fine!"

"no!"

Zheng Jingyan's tone cannot be questioned: "My mother's home is not your home, but mine is your home! Even if I'm not at home, you must guard our home!"

Yiqing was stunned for a long while before bursting out laughing: "What are you talking about, it's all tongue twisters!"

Zheng Jingyan put his arms around her and sighed: "Yiqing, don't you understand? With you waiting for me at home, I can feel at ease! I am dead, and my soul is tied to you!"

Yiqing turned her head to the side and slapped him twice, clenched her fist and lightly slapped him on the shoulder: "Nonsense! Our baby is not born yet, so you are not allowed to say unlucky things! I didn't care before, but now you are my husband. You are my child's father, I don't allow you to die! You have to live with me for at least 90 years, and you are not allowed to die before me!"

Zheng Jingyan smiled, took a breath, and said solemnly: "Okay! I promise you! I will live with you until you are 90 years old, and I will definitely let you die before me, and I will follow behind!"

"That's about the same!" Yiqing said, and immediately opened her eyes again: "We are still very young, why are you talking about this? You are full of food?"

Zheng Jingyan smiled brightly, and touched her round belly: "It's not me, it's you! You're full of food!"

Yiqing quit: "You bullied us again! We will bully you back!"

"Ha ha……"

"Ha ha……"

"Hush! Keep your voice down! If you smile like this, the censor who patrols the streets will hear you! Let's stop making trouble, I'll take you back, and wait at home obediently. When you come back at night, I will let you bully me enough!"

"Well, that's all right! Husband enters the palace to do things with peace of mind, I also have things to be busy!"

"What are you busy with? Checking the account books? Just leave it to Yunping, don't worry about it! If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else to take care of it when I get back!"

"No, Yunping is very capable, and my previous efforts were not in vain. I don't have to worry about the account books and inner court affairs! Me, now I can only focus on what I want to eat! Write down what comes to mind, and ask the cook to help Do it! It’s all famous dishes, full of color, fragrance, and delicious!”

Zheng Jingyan looked at her helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I just had dinner from my mother-in-law's house, and I want to eat again!"

"Didn't anyone tell you? Every pregnant woman is like this, eating the last meal and thinking about the next meal, so in the end, they are all fat and ugly!"

Zheng Jingyan couldn't help laughing, Yiqing said: "If you want to dislike it, you can just say it, don't pretend!"

Zheng Jingyan smiled and said, "I don't dislike it! But I have a proposal: Since you have come up with so many delicious foods, you can share some with me, and take this opportunity to make me fat!"

Yiqing said earnestly: "This madam has exactly this intention!"

Zheng Jingyan gritted his teeth, and patted her on the back: "When talking to your husband, you should call yourself: wife!"

Yiqing was a little reluctant, feeling that the word "wife" was really difficult to utter, but under Zheng Jingyan's burning eyes, she had no choice but to say: "At night, for the wife, leave a delicious supper for the husband!"

"Wow! It's a blessing for my husband! I must save my stomach and come back to eat 'delicious supper'!"

"Well, if you come back early, I'll wait for you and tell you something!"

"what's up?"

"I can't say it now, it's too long, let's talk about it tonight!"

"In this way, you can take a nap when you go back, and you can sleep longer, so that I won't be sleepy at night."

"You can't sleep too long, there are still things to do in the afternoon! The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to urge the cook to make preparations, and make and steam the mooncakes officially tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the mooncakes from our Rongping Hou Mansion can be packed into gift boxes , to distribute to relatives and friends-I think you may need to give gifts, so you have prepared a lot of fillings!"

"Okay! I really need it! Madame, you are so kind and virtuous!"

"Yeah!" Yiqing nodded honestly.

Zheng Jingyan smiled, suddenly remembered something, and frowned slightly: The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why haven't they returned to the capital yet?
