Chapter 225: Mammy's Message
There was nothing wrong with the Sixth Prince's eyes. He had long seen that it was a man's clothing and it must be for him. He was just deliberately diverting Shen Qiujun's thoughts.
Furthermore, it was normal for Mrs. Shen to give some clothes to Shen Qiujun and his unborn baby. The Sixth Prince really didn't expect that he would be part of it, so he felt very uneasy.
Since Concubine Rong returned to Dongchen, the Sixth Prince rarely got clothes made by his elders. In the early years, Concubine Qi made some clothes to show her love for the Sixth Prince, but the Sixth Prince was impatient with her. It's a drama about the deep love between mother and son, so she always refuses and refuses. Even if she reluctantly accepts, she usually finds an excuse to lock herself there and never get up.
Shen Qiujun looked at the fur coat carefully and couldn't help but admired: "My father accidentally got this a few years ago and gave it to my mother. At that time, my mother only said that her age was not suitable for such a white color, and because it was a gift from my father, she was reluctant to part with it. The tailor made it difficult for us sisters to wear it, so we could only stare at it. I wanted to give it to my eldest brother back then, but my mother said that he was tall and thick and not worthy of such pure white fur, so she kept putting him in the bottom of the box. Poor second brother is still looking forward to it. , I never imagined that my mother would give it to you. You are only half a son-in-law. I don’t know how jealous he is."
After hearing this, the Sixth Prince put the fur coat on his body and said proudly: "Your second brother is not worthy of it either. Look at his black face. Even if he puts it on, he will become black and white."
Shen Qiujun couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing the sixth prince's harsh words.
The Sixth Prince added: "Since you like it so much, why not find a good tailor and have this dress altered for you to wear. Use the leftover materials to make something for me. It will be a way to live up to my mother-in-law's wishes."
Shen Qiujun looked at the sixth prince's insincere expression and did not expose him. He only scolded him: "I just said that my mother was reluctant to cut. You are so generous here, and you are not afraid of her feeling distressed. Since I gave it to you, it is you. It's a gift from the elders. It doesn't matter if I force it. You should dress well and see if there is anything inappropriate, so you might as well change it early, so as not to forget about it when you get busy."
The Sixth Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked happily to the inner room, looking left and right in front of the mirror. He said repeatedly: "It's just right, no need to change it."
Shen Qiujun stood in front of the door and looked at the Sixth Emperor's eyes full of joy, feeling sour in his heart.
The sixth prince was of noble birth and had never seen anything good, yet he was in such a state today.
My mother is also a sophisticated person, so she gave me this white fur coat today just because she was far away from the capital and had no one to rely on. She was worried that the relationship between the two would fade away forever, and that the Sixth Prince would make her feel wronged, so she wanted to impress her with family affection. The sixth prince made him see that in this familial affection, he just treated him as before.
But it was such a piece of clothing with a not-so-pure motive that actually made him linger in front of the mirror excitedly. Shen Qiujun sighed secretly. After adjusting his mood, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "It is indeed suitable. I'm afraid there will never be another one in this world." This dress is more suitable for you than anyone else. Come on, take it off quickly, be careful not to damage your body due to the heat. Since you don’t need to change it, just put it away and wear it again in winter.”
The Sixth Prince reluctantly took off his clothes, folded them for his own use, and warned: "Be sure to put them away. When it snows this year, take them out and put them on, facing the scenery, so as not to put them away in vain and let you down." It’s the old man’s kindness.”
Shen Qiujun nodded in agreement, took it and put it away.
In the small side room over there, Xue Liu waited on Nanny Li and drank tea for a while. Seeing that no one else was asked to come in, Shen Qiujun expected that with the Sixth Prince there, he would not be able to think of Nanny Li for a while. After thinking about it for a while, he made his own decision and said: "When Mr. Liu comes back, we probably don't need us to go up and wait on him. You have traveled a long way and talked happily for most of the day. You are tired, so you should go back and rest first." Come on, let’s have some rest tomorrow, and then let’s have a nice chat with the lady.”
Aunt Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Would you like to go and tell the lady?"
Xue Liu smiled and said, "No need, I have the final say on this matter."
The two of them walked out of the room. Xue Liu gave some instructions to the girl who was standing outside joking, and then said: "If Madam asks, just say that I went to see off Nanny Li." Then he said to Nanny Li: "Now the hospital is here. There are a lot of people here, so I arranged for grandma to rest in the small courtyard next to her. After she recovers, she will arrange a room in this courtyard."
Grandma Li sighed: "It's only been a few years since I last saw you, but you have become more successful. You are no longer the little girl who begged me to reveal the news for a few taels of silver."
Xue Liu blushed and said with a smile: "It's been so many years, why are you still mentioning it? It's because the young lady is so generous to others, so even the girls in front of her became more relaxed. Besides, the Sixth Master is here, so... We are not needed to make tea and water, so everyone is happy to be lazy."
Aunt Li smiled and said: "Miss has been a kind-hearted person since she was a child. Seeing that her husband and wife are so harmonious, Madam should be relieved. Now that your sister Xuexiang has found a good home, your mother was jealous and begged me to stay well when she came. Let’s discuss it in front of the lady, and I’ll make a decision for you early.”
Xue Liu blushed and quickly changed the subject and said: "Mother Chu and Sister Xuexiang are also hateful. The young lady is pregnant. She only brought a few things and didn't come to see them together."
Grandma Li hurriedly said: "This is an injustice to them. It's not that they don't want to come, it's because your sister Xuexiang has just been diagnosed with pregnancy. How can they come?"
Xue Liu said in surprise: "Is this true? Miss will be happy after hearing this."
At this time, the two of them had arrived at the small courtyard. Xue Liu had another conversation with Grandma Li, and waited for her to rest before returning.
The next day, Grandma Li came to Shen Qiujun early in the morning, just as Mr. Xin was treating Shen Qiujun.
Shen Qiujun smiled and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate Mr. Xin yet."
Mr. Xin couldn't stop laughing and said repeatedly: "Same joy, same joy."
Mr. Xin really didn't expect that he would be able to look after his great-grandchildren in this life. Since he learned that his grandson-in-law was pregnant yesterday, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep well all night. When he arrived at the main courtyard this morning, he saw the sixth prince accompanying him. He couldn't help but think that it was the Sixth Prince who saved his grandfather and grandson back then, and he felt really grateful.
The Sixth Prince knew that Shen Qiujun still had something to say to Nanny Li, so he went to the outer courtyard with Mr. Xin.
Shen Qiujun saw that Nanny Li was in good spirits. After expressing some concern, she took her to talk about the situation of her relatives in the capital. They even ate together.
After a few days, this enthusiasm has declined. Aunt Li has also arranged to stay in the courtyard. She went through all the details of Shen Qiujun's life in detail, and also carefully inspected the several stable wives that Mrs. Zhu was looking for. I am very satisfied with all of this.
Especially seeing the sixth prince's love for Shen Qiujun as always, I felt even more relieved.
On this day, Shen Qiujun was chatting with Grandma Li. Grandma Li looked at Shen Qiujun and said sternly: "When I came here, I told you a few words, so that you can talk to me carefully when you have the opportunity."
When Shen Qiujun saw that Grandma Li was serious about her business, she wanted to stand up and listen carefully.
Grandma Li hurriedly pressed Shen Qiujun and said with a smile: "It's just a few common words. Miss, you don't have to be like this. Besides, you are heavy on your body, so you need to take good care of yourself."
Shen Qiujun sat upright and asked, "I wonder what my father said?"
Nanny Li said sternly: "Master said, I really didn't expect that my uncle would get a way to make a new armor. He had looked at it carefully at the emperor's place. This armor is really unusual, especially more practical for fighting in the south. It's hot again. Now the master has asked the emperor for more production on behalf of the eldest son, so that it can be used in the battle in the south. Maybe it will replace the iron armor. Although the emperor did not express too much reward, every soldier who will be benefited in the future will definitely feel it in his heart. I am grateful to the Sixth Prince. In this way, the Sixth Prince has gained a lot of limelight, and his influence in the army will certainly not be small, and the Prince may not be afraid of it."
Shen Qiujun sighed: "He came up with this method at the time when General Zheng suffered repeated defeats and our Qi soldiers suffered too many casualties. How could we think so far ahead?"
Grandma Li smiled and said: "Miss, don't worry, everything depends on blessings and misfortunes. The master said: This credit comes at the right time, I will not be afraid of making some mistakes in the future, and the things that the miss was worried about before can be easily solved."
Shen Qiujun raised his eyes to Grandma Li, pointed his finger upward, and said, "What does this mean?"
Aunt Li nodded and said: "The crime of patricide is too serious. We in Daqi have always valued courtesy and filial piety. I can't bear this crime. It's better to live up to my filial piety. In the future, rewards will be given according to merit, and the merits and demerits will be balanced." But just like this, it can still dispel the prince's fear, which is a very thorough method."
Shen Qiujun also nodded, these were consistent with what he had thought before.
Aunt Li added: "Concubine Rong has a weak temperament and is not strong enough. Although the emperor was helpless back then, she may not have had some thoughts in her heart when she gave birth to my uncle. But when the capital was in chaos, she chose Prince Chen and decided to do so." It is impossible to return to Daqi. If she only spares her life this time, she may not be able to survive. Besides, Prince Chen is also his uncle's brother and the pillar of Concubine Rong in the future, so for Concubine Rong, he must also Leave him alive."
When Shen Qiujun heard these words, he nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Grandma Li waved her hand and said: "Miss, it's better to listen to what I have to say. You are not in a good condition to think too much now, but things are unpredictable. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Maybe Prince Chen will be brought here tomorrow, so some words cannot be delayed for too long, but there is no need for you to worry about it. I just put everything on my mind one by one. In front of you, if you think it makes sense, just do it."
Shen Qiujun sighed: "My daughter understands her father's painstaking efforts. Grandma, please continue talking."
