Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 458 Yuanyuan's Destination

Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu were shocked, and hurriedly bowed back and said: "Master salutes the concubine, isn't he going to kill the concubine?"

Li Jing stretched out his hand to pull the two of them together: "Madam has to take care of the housework, and also perform filial piety at the knee of Mr. Li Jing on behalf of Li Jing. Li Jing's gift is a sincere thanks to the two ladies."

"Master, you have a heavy responsibility for the country, and you cannot perform filial piety in front of your husband. It is the duty of a concubine to perform filial piety for the master." Shen Ying said hastily.

"That's right, besides, my sister and I are still husband's adoptive daughters, so we should honor our adoptive father." Zhu Huiyu continued.

Hearing this, Li Jing held the hands of the two of them and said: "No matter what, it is Li Jing's blessing to be able to marry two wives in this life."

"It is also my blessing to be able to marry the master." Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu continued.

"Brother Li, you husband and wife should stop talking about these lingering love stories here. The emperor's sister-in-law and the queen still want to talk to their wife and sister." Zhu Youjian laughed as he stepped down from the imperial chariot.

Li Jing patted his head lightly when he heard the words: "Oh, Li Jing was rude, he forgot to ask his wife to greet the two empresses. Don't be rude, don't be rude!"

Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "We are in-laws, and the second wife is my cousin. How can my family have so many etiquette?"

Li Jing was about to speak when suddenly he saw a young man and a young girl knelt down in front of him and said, "I pay my respects to my lord father and my majesty!"

"A daughter sees her father, sees her father!"

"My son is free from courtesy." Zhu Youjian said happily.

These two teenagers are Li Anguo, the son of Li Jing, and Aimee Zhu, the daughter of Zhu Youjian, the princess of Kunxing.

Gently stroking Li Anguo's head, Li Jing sighed and said, "I haven't seen you for a year, my son has grown up and understands the rules."

"It's all my father who taught me well." Li Anguo said hastily.

Li Jing shook his head: "It's not dad who taught me well, but your mother and husband taught me well."

"What Father said is that Grandpa Yuan really took great pains to teach the child." Li Anguo said hastily.

"I hope you will never forget your grandfather Yuan's teaching." Li Jing sighed.

Li Anguo heard the words and said solemnly: "The child will remember the teachings of the father."

Li Jing smiled: "Children, don't speak in an old-fashioned way. Children should behave like children. After a while, Dad will find you a child to play with."

"Really?" Li Anguo was overjoyed.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Of course it is true, you will see each other in a while."

Speaking of which, Li Jing patted Li Anguo's head lightly: "Go, go with your mother to meet the empress. And you, hurry up to see your mother, come with us, are you not restrained?"

"Yes!" Li Anguo and Auntie Zhu hurriedly said.

After Li Anguo and Zhu Yuxi followed Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu, two young women with children came down from the carriage behind.

After getting out of the carriage, the two young women put the child down, then took the child by the hand and came to Li Jing with a deep blessing, "My servant pays homage to the master."

"Xiaodie, Xiao Zhu, don't be too polite. You help your wife take care of the children and take care of the housework. It's hard work for you. I should salute you." Li Jing hurriedly pulled the second daughter up and said.

"Isn't the master saying that he killed the servants? It is the duty of the servants to help the wife take care of the children and take care of the housework." Xiaodie and Xiaozhu hurriedly said.

Hearing that the two called themselves slaves, Li Jing frowned and said, "Why do you start calling yourself slaves? You are also my wife, Li Jing, so don't use such humble names in the future."

"Yes! Thank you, master." Xiaodie and Xiaozhu hurriedly said.

Seeing that Xiaodie and Xiaozhu were still cautious, Li Jing waved his hands and said, "Don't talk like that in the future, what happened before, what's going on now, don't think that when I get promoted, there will be more rules." "

"Yes! Master." Xiaodie and Xiaozhu replied.

At this moment, I suddenly heard two childish voices saying: "The child pays respects to Daddy, and Daddy hugs him!"

Li Jing laughed loudly when he heard this, leaned over and hugged the two children one by one: "The two little guys can still recognize me, come and kiss me."

As he spoke, he kissed the faces of the two children a few times.

"Hehe, don't say it, the two little guys are getting cuter and cuter, come on, give me a hug." Zhu Youjian laughed.

Li Jing smiled, handed his son to Zhu Youjian, then took his daughter's little finger and pointed at Zhu Youjian and said, "This will be your father-in-law from now on. Have you seen his beard? Go and squeeze his beard."

I didn't want the little girl to tie her hands together, grabbed Zhu Youjian's beard, and then pulled it hard.

Zhu Youjian's beard was in pain, but he looked at Li Jing and laughed and said, "How can you be such a father, such a young child told her to pull your father-in-law's beard."

"Hahaha, is this the child?" Li Jing laughed loudly upon hearing this.

At this time, Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu brought Li Anguo and Zhu Weiyu to meet Empress Zhou and Zhang Yan. After they said a few words, Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu took their children back.

What Li Jing didn't expect was that Auntie Zhu came back with her.

Pointing at Zhu Youjian, Li Jing smiled and said, "You failed as a father, and your daughter has returned to our house."

Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "Don't be complacent, your daughter will be a member of our old Zhu's family in a few years."

After all, he looked at Li Jing and laughed.

After laughing for a while, Li Jing waved to Shen Ying and the others: "Get in the car and take a look at our new home."

After speaking, he took the child from Zhu Youjian and said, "Your Majesty, let's go home and settle down first, and we'll get together again in the evening."

Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "Then the queen and I will wait for brother Li and the wives of sisters-in-law in Kunning Palace."

Li Jing smiled and said: "No problem. Your Majesty, let's go back then."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards his imperial chariot.Li Jing carried the two children into his own carriage, while Shen Ying and the others returned to their own carriages.

Seeing Li Jing, Zhu Youjian and others getting into the car, Xiao Jiu waved his hand, and the convoy started to move slowly.

Seeing Li Jing, Zhu Youjian and others got into the carriage, Xiao Jiu waved his hand, and the convoy started to move slowly.

……

The area of ​​Li Jing's new residence is not too large, it is far from the gardens of those dignitaries and nobles, but it is much larger than the original residence in Pingyang Mansion.

However, Li Jing's family is actually not that big. There are only about 100 people including his wife, children, maids, butlers from the inner and outer palaces, and odd jobs. Even including the guards and their families, there are less than [-] people. Living in such a big house, Li Jing felt that it was too wasteful.

However, the money for the new house was paid by Shen Ying, not a penny from the public, and Li Jing had nothing to say about it.Recalling the Shen family's old house in Lin County that occupied an area of ​​tens of acres, Li Jing also knew that Shen Ying had been wronged a lot in terms of living conditions after being married to him for so many years. She tosses.

Fortunately, Fang Fang knew that Li Jing didn't like luxury, so the decoration of the house was very simple, and he only put a lot of effort into materials and workmanship. Li Jing was very satisfied with this.

After moving to a new home, Li Jing, as the host, naturally had to meet his family members. After encouraging everyone, he asked the housekeeper to make arrangements according to their responsibilities.

After the servants retreated, Li Jing looked at Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu and asked with concern: "Are the two ladies tired? If they are tired, go and take a rest first."

Shen Ying shook her head, took out a letter from her cuff and handed it to Li Jingdao: "Master, this is a letter written to you by Mister before he passed away."

"The letter you wrote to me before you died, why are you only giving it to me now?" Li Jing took the letter in doubt.

Shen Ying shook her head: "Mr.'s letter is about how sister Yuanyuan will arrange things in the future. During the master's funeral, even knowing Mr.'s arrangements is useless, it will only add to the sadness."

Li Jing was startled, and slowly opened the letter.

I saw that the handwriting in the letter was weak and somewhat scribbled, not like Yuan Keli's vigorous and powerful writing style before, obviously it was written by Yuan Keli after he knew that his time was numbered.

As Shen Ying said, this letter is to explain how Li Jing arranges Chen Yuanyuan.

In fact, Zhang Yan had already analyzed Chen Yuanyuan's future arrangements to Li Jing, and Li Jing basically approved Zhang Yan's analysis.

What Yuan Keli wrote in his letter was indeed similar to Zhang Yan's original analysis, but Yuan Keli considered it more thoroughly, and he accepted Chen Yuanyuan as his adopted daughter.

After reading Yuan Keli's suicide note, Li Jing sighed softly. Chen Yuanyuan was younger than Yuan Keli's eldest grandson, Yuan Fucheng, but Yuan Keli accepted her as his adopted daughter, because he wanted Chen Yuanyuan's identity to be worthy of Li Jing.

At this time, Li Jing finally understood why Shen Ying called Chen Yuanyuan her younger sister just now.

Looking at Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu, Li Jing sighed lightly and said, "When Mr. wrote to me, you must have been by my side, right?"

Shen Ying nodded: "At first, I wanted to write the letter for my husband, but my husband said that I must write this letter to you personally, so that you will be obedient."

Turning her head to look at Chen Yuanyuan who was standing in the distance, Shen Ying continued: "Mr. said to my concubine before that sister Yuanyuan's national beauty can be called the most beautiful in the world. If there is no protection from someone like the master, this life will be doomed." The ill-fated fate may even cause many disputes, so the husband accepted sister Yuanyuan as his adoptive daughter before he died. One is to thank sister Yuanyuan for serving him with all her heart in the past few years, and the other is to give sister Yuanyuan a husband who is worthy of the master. identity."

Li Jing nodded silently. Yuan Keli's arrangement before his death seemed to be for private affairs, but in fact it was for the country.

Because a woman like Chen Yuanyuan can drive countless men crazy, and once a man is crazy, he can do anything.

In the history of the previous life, if it wasn't because Chen Yuanyuan was forcibly occupied by Li Zicheng, how could Wu Sangui open Shanhaiguan and let the Manchurians enter?The so-called rushing to the crown and becoming a beauty is actually to win back Chen Yuanyuan from Li Zicheng.

Turning his head to look at Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and has not yet fully grown up. Even so, Li Jing couldn't help but be moved when he saw it.

Li Jing's concentration is still like this, how can anyone else control it?
Looking at Chen Yuanyuan, Li Jing sighed softly and said: "Since it is the order of the master, Li Jing should obey it, but the husband just passed away, and I feel guilty for not being filial to his old man. How can I marry during the funeral?" After two years, I will marry her after Yuanyuan."
