Chapter 286

Seeing that the big smiling face that had just come over suddenly collapsed, the little guy couldn't help but tilt his head to look.Then he looked at his own small bowl with a wrinkled face, and then at the sad Uncle Liu Zi. After hesitating for a long time, he finally squeezed a dumpling from the small bowl reluctantly.
That pained expression on his face is funny no matter how you look at it.

After the zi, the watch is over.Since their ancestral homes are not in the capital, and their roots are not deep, there is no need to worship the ancestral hall. They just said a few more words and went to rest.

Of course, Yu Jie'er was too young to walk at night, so the six sons and Zhaodi's family of three stayed in the Duke Huguo's mansion to rest.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Di and Jin Ruo changed into the court clothes of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and then followed Zhang Mandun and the six sons into the palace to pay their respects.Following the congratulations, there was another round of rewards and gratitude, and it was not over until the emperor went forward.

The Empress Dowager originally wanted to talk to Lin Baozhu for a while, but the two hadn't seen each other since she entered the palace on her own initiative last time.And at the palace banquet yesterday, there was news that she was unwell again, but it made her worry badly.

Originally, she wanted to ask the imperial doctor to go and have a look, but her daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law persuaded her, saying that it was unlucky to send an imperial doctor to a courtier's house at the age of thirty.And up to now, I haven't seen Lord Hu take a post to invite the imperial physician, or even bring his children to the palace for a banquet, so it's not a big problem after all.

The so-called the older you are, the more taboos you have, and this is the case with the Empress Dowager.Thinking about what the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law said is not unreasonable, so I suppressed my worries for the time being, and only rewarded a lot of tonics.

Seeing Jinruo again today, didn't she just find an opportunity to ask him carefully, and only when she knew that Baozhu was pregnant again did she feel at ease.Then he thought that his sister-in-law would have more blood, how could she be unhappy?So, a series of tonics and rewards naturally went on again, from tents for hundreds of sons and grandchildren to bird's nest blood ginseng for raising fetuses, everything she could think of was not stingy at all.

The empress dowager had good intentions, but she didn't want people outside to make another guess.When they found out that the Empress Dowager actually rewarded many precious tonics, some people became even more convinced that the Lady Protector would die soon.
No matter how overwhelming the rumors outside, the life in Duke Protector's Mansion is still comfortable and warm.And as more and more servants from the outer palace came to inquire, the whole of the Duke Protector's mansion was unbearable. When encountering some tempered servants and servants, they would directly give cold faces or scold them away.

Their wives were very nice, and just after the new year, they gave them a monthly payment, and each of them got a new suit of clothes.If anyone dares to curse their wives again, they won't be able to relieve their anger by just cursing, so next time they will just beat them out with a broom.

But Lin Baozhu didn't pay attention to those few words she heard by chance.Even sometimes, she would joke about those things with her own man, just to beat him up and let him live with himself honestly.

Every time at that time, Zhang Mantun was extremely eager to survive, and whenever he heard his wife talk about gossip outside, he would show his loyalty with all his might.And sometimes it is said that when the daughter-in-law is happy, she will naturally have rich benefits, such as the hands of the daughter-in-law who have become softer after not doing work for a long time. Anyway, thinking of those, Zhang Mandun couldn't help but get angry , every time after work, I go home with all my strength to please my wife.

Because Taoshuwan was far away, and there was no one in the Lin family, Lin Baozhu didn't go out in the second year of junior high school.And Xiuniang's sister-in-law didn't leave Huguogong's mansion after the first day of the junior high school. In addition, Zhao Di was married in Huguogong's mansion. No matter how you count it, this can be regarded as her natal family, so she stayed with six children in the second year of junior high school. Follow Zhaodi's house.

After that, the few remaining dogs in the capital also came to pay New Year's greetings.As for the other officials' families outside, unless they were of a higher official position than Zhang Mantun, or some people who were close to Zhang Mantun walked around, the rest was just a New Year's gift sent by Lin Baozhu.And there were still those who wanted to come to seek relationship, most of them were sent away by saying that the lady was not in good health and should not see guests.

When it was the sixth day of the new year, someone came to the mansion of Duke Huguo again, and the carriage that marked the mighty general's mansion squeaked before the gate of the mansion.Then, I saw a woman wearing a maroon waistcoat coming down from above. Although she was dressed in simple clothes, she was really energetic and dignified, at least not worse than Nanny Liu.

The woman then helped the other old woman down, then bent her knees and said a few words, then turned around and went to the porter.When she walked up to the young servant in front of her, the old lady smiled and said: "Please inform me that our old lady heard that Mrs. Huguo is ill and came to visit."

The people in the concierge are all carefully selected, and my wife always asks them to keep a low profile, so they must not look down on others.So even if they sent someone away, they would try their best not to cause trouble for the old lady.

As for the woman in front of her, although she is a servant, but looking at the behavior of her and the old lady of the mighty general's mansion just now, one can tell that this person must have a reputation in the mansion.

Furthermore, although the mighty general does not serve under his master, he is a general of the same dynasty after all.And this guy's temperament, how should I put it, is really like the master's temper.

Thinking of this, the concierge didn't dare to take it too seriously, and accepted the greeting card from the old woman with a smile, and then respectfully and politely said: "Please trouble the old lady and the nanny to wait for a while, the younger one will go in and report. "

The old woman was not in a difficult situation, even though her own family was also from the General's Mansion, it was not enough to be compared to the Duke Protector.If it wasn't for the fact that the old lady and Mrs. Hu Guogong were taken captive together, and they had such a friendship, maybe they wouldn't come to visit today.

And Lin Baozhu, who was talking to Zhang Xiuniang in the room, was stunned for a moment when he heard the report, and then ordered people to come in quickly.After that, he took Xiuniang's sister-in-law's hand and talked about how the old lady took care of Zhaodi when she was in the dungeon.

Now, Lin Baozhu didn't need to say any more, Zhang Xiuniang spontaneously got up and went out together.Regardless of status or inferiority, it is enough to say that the old lady's protection and care for her daughter is enough to make her, a mother, very grateful.

Because she was afraid of catching the cold, and because she still had a baby in her belly, Xiang Ming specially took a pink-faced and white-faced hooded cloak for her wife to wear when she went out.Then he ordered people to quickly prepare hot tea and match with Mrs. Tang.

When Lin Baozhu and the others were going out, the old lady and her party happened to be welcomed into the main courtyard graciously.At this moment, the old lady is not much different from when she was in the dungeon. Even though she is not wearing gold belt and silver, it is hard to say that she has a demeanor and wisdom after years of precipitation.

"I have met Mrs. Protector of the Country." According to the regulations, the old lady is below Lin Baozhu no matter whether it is according to her son's official position or the grade of the imperial wife.Therefore, if she saluted, it was naturally she who greeted Lin Baozhu.

Seeing that the old lady was about to lean over, Lin Baozhu was startled and rushed to stop her, and then said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't dare to be so polite, I feel guilty for worrying about you in this cold weather, you If I still have to salute, wouldn't that make me even more uncomfortable?"

The old lady saw that Lin Baozhu's eyes were sincere, and there was no perfunctory displeasure in her expression, so she smiled and looked at Lin Baozhu for a moment, and said, "Why is your complexion so bad? You look even thinner than when you saw her before." Some." After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Have you invited an imperial physician to go over the house?"

"It's just that I got a little cold, and I've been seriously ill recently, but I lost my energy within three to five days. It's not a big deal." Lin Baozhu asked someone to help the old lady, and then replied with a smile, "Because It’s New Year’s Eve, so I didn’t think of alarming the imperial physician.”

When she heard that Lin Baozhu was happy, the old lady also congratulated her, and finally said: "It's a happy event, but it's hard for a woman to be pregnant. You must take care of it. A woman, give birth to a baby." When you return to a child, your body will wear out once, if you can’t take care of it until you reach my age, there will be nothing left but suffering.”

While exhorting like this, several people entered the room.Zhang Xiuniang had the opportunity to stand up and salute to thank Mrs. Tang when the big guys went to sit down with Mrs. Tang in their cloaks.

At first, the old lady didn't realize it. After Lin Baozhu explained, she smiled and pulled Zhang Xiuniang to sit down on the couch together.

"I'm old enough to talk about what to do. I haven't seen anything. Even if I offend the group of rebels, it doesn't hinder me. But General Fuyuan's wife is different. She is young, and she has a strong body. Heavy and expensive, if you don’t take good care of it, you will have fetal gas and premature birth.” The old lady waved her hand and said with a smile, “It’s just that because of many things, I didn’t go to the house to visit her and sister, you don’t blame me Just blame my wife for being rude."

In fact, how can it be strange, if it is true, because of the special situation at the beginning, and the rebellion against the first emperor because of the serious illness of the first emperor, who is not panic?So no matter it was Yu Jieer's full moon or Baitian, she never entertained outsiders.But even so, the old lady of the Mighty General's Mansion also sent a pair of silver bracelets, which can be regarded as a joy.

As for what happened during the period, everyone knows in their hearts, and now talking about it, it's just that they are more happy with each other.

Several people were chatting and laughing, knowing that Lin Baozhu was not dying of a serious illness but happy, the old lady was completely relieved.However, the topic turned around in recent days, the rumors outside that Lin Baozhu never dismissed.

"You are still young, so you don't understand the truth. Those people are probably not only looking for your bad luck. In the capital, anyone who can spread that kind of news is probably of some status and has a relationship with the Duke of the Protectorate. The relationship is not considered close." The old woman sighed, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid the ulterior motives are not drinking."

"The old lady said." Lin Baozhu was taken aback for a moment. She knew that some people were still plotting against her husband, but she never thought that someone would think of doing something against her.
