"Do you think we should build an amusement park for Fu Qi and Lian 'er?" Xia Lu looked at Jia Yao, who was in Jia Zhen's arms.
He thought of the amusement park in the modern world.
Children in the modern world were so happy.
There were so many toys.
"What is an amusement park?" Jia Zhen asked.
"It's a garden that we should prepare.
Let the servants make some swings, skateboards, seesaws, etc. "
Xia Lu came to the desk.
He drew out the skateboards and pirate ships.
Then, he handed it to Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen took the drawing and glanced at the little boy in his arms.
Why can you play with these things? Jia Zhen was a little envious. He said, "No. What if you change your mind?" Jia Zhen refused.
"Yes," Jia Zhen said. Jia Yao, who was in Jia Zhen's arms, seemed to have heard the conversation between Jia Zhen and Xia Lu.
"Two people agree, but you object.
Your objection is invalid. Call the butler over later and ask him to find some carpenters. "Xia Lu smiled.
He looked at Jia Yao. "Fu Qi is so good."
Xia Lu grabbed Fu Qi's little hand.
He teased him.
Jia Yao smiled.
She stretched out her hand to Xia Lu. "Sister-in-law, carry me."
"Little boy, can you not see how heavy you are? Can your sister-in-law carry you?" Jia Zhen turned sideways to prevent Xia Lu from hugging Jia Yao. He absolutely could not indulge this little brat. How old was he already, yet he was still clinging to his wife. This kind of unhealthy trend must not be encouraged. Did he not know what was called the precaution between men and women? Jia Zhen felt a sense of crisis in his heart. Not only did he have to guard against those women, but now, he also had to guard against these two little brats.
Jia Yao pursed her lips, but she did not cry. At this time, the wet nurse carried Jia Lian over. Jia Lian, who was in the wet nurse's arms, couldn't stop crying. When she saw Xia Lu, she stopped crying. Sobbing, she reached out to Xia Lu and said in a childish voice, "Sister-in-law, hug me."
Jia Zhen reacted quickly and took Jia Lian into his arms. He carried one child in each arm. Jia Yao and Jia Lian were already more than a year old and had been well taken care of. Naturally, their weight was not light. Fortunately, Jia Zhen had been practicing martial arts for the past two years. It was easy for him to carry the two children. "Little brats, you're not allowed to dream about being carried by your sister-in-law." The Jia Zhen sat down with the two children in her arms, one on each leg.
Jia Lian pursed her lips as she was hugged by her father. However, like Jia Yao, she did not cry or throw a tantrum. Although she was not hugged by her favorite sister-in-law, it was the same as being hugged by her brother.
Xia Lu looked at Jia Lian. Her eyes were full of heartache. She had finished reading the letter from Jia Jing. She knew that Jia Xie was going to remarry. This time, his wife was not Madam Xing, but the younger sister of the Fourth Prince's wife. Now that the Emperor had abdicated and the Fourth Prince had ascended the throne, the Fourth Prince's wife would be the Empress. The Fourth Prince's wife's sister would be the Empress's sister. Xia Lu was really worried about Jia Lian's future with such a powerful stepmother.
After all, the Empress's sister was not Madam Xing. She could not bear a child. If she gave birth to her own child, what would Jia Lian's status in Rongguo Province be? Although Jia Xie's feelings for the Chang Clan were real, he could not resist pillow talk. If he had a stepmother, he would have a stepfather. This was not empty talk.
In other words, marrying the Empress's sister was not a bad thing. At least, Madam Jia would not dare to do anything. When Jia Baoyu was born in the future, Madam Xia would have to take the Empress's sister into consideration even if she wanted to dote on him. The Empress did not have a child now. In the future, Jia family would not have to take sides with the Empress. Instead, it would be good for everyone to have the Empress's support. However, for Jia Lian, it was better for Madam Xing to be Jia Xie's stepwife. First, she could not bear a child, so no one would compete with him for the title. Second, Madam Xing was narrow-minded and did not have many tricks. When Jia Lian got married, the management of the inner chamber would be his wife.
Xia Lu was pitiful, but she could not change anything. After all, it was the Emperor's decree. She could not do anything about it. Before the Jia Chang Clan passed away, they entrusted Jia Lian to her. They must have thought about Jia Lian carefully. At least, as long as she raised Jia Lian, Xi Province could not interfere at will. Even if Madam Xing wanted to do something, she would stop her. Moreover, she would not harm Jia Lian. The only disadvantage was the Jia Chang Clan's dowry. She could not embezzle it even if she wanted to.
However, if she raised Jia Lian well, the benefits were obvious. Every year, Xi Province would give the East House a lot of living expenses. Besides, there were some Zhuangzi and shops in the Chang Clan's dowry. These were all given to her for free. If Jia Lian lived well, she would only get more benefits. Xia Lu was frustrated. The Jia Chang Clan was indeed a perfect plan.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed? "Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu in a daze and asked.
"I'm thinking about Lian 'er. In the future, Lian' er's situation in Rongguo Province will be awkward." Xia Lu looked at Jia Lian, who did not know anything now, and felt a little distressed.
Jia Zhen also lowered his head to look at Jia Lian. Of course, he understood what Xia Lu meant. Uncle She was going to marry a stepwife. When the stepwife gave birth to a son, Lian 'er's position would be awkward. The stepwife was the Empress's younger sister. Even though Second Grandpa cared a lot for Lian' er now and asked Uncle She to ask for the title of Heir Apparent for Lian 'er in the future, things were unpredictable. No one knew what would happen in the future. Lian' er's maternal family had committed the crime of rebellion. This kind of case could not be easily overturned.
It was really a mess. "In the future, I will urge this little boy to study more. His maternal grandfather is the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, a scholarly family. His talent in studying will not be too bad. If he does not work hard, I will beat him." Jia Zhen relied on himself. Even if there were unforeseen events, he would be able to pass the imperial examination. With the help of Ningguo Province, he would be able to stand up. When this little boy could study in the future, he would definitely not be soft-hearted.
Xia Lu was shocked by Jia Zhen's logic. What did he mean by his maternal grandfather was the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, so Jia Lian must be able to study? In the modern era, she had seen parents who were top students and had doctorates, but their children were bad at studying. It was really hard to say when it came to talent. However, looking at Jia Zhen's eager look, she did not want to dampen his enthusiasm. She had taken Jia Lian under her wing, so she still had to encourage him. Xia Lu looked at Jia Lian sympathetically.
Jia Lian, who was only a little more than one year old, did not know what was going on. When he saw Xia Lu looking at him, he showed an innocent smile. "Sister-in-law, my belly, my balls." Jia Lian sat in Jia Zhen's arms and patted his belly gently.
"Okay, Sister-in-law, let's set the table now." Ever since Jia Lian and Jia Yao ate the egg soup and tasted its taste, they did not drink the milk of the wet nurse anymore. They mixed the egg soup with green stem rice and added a little vegetable soup. They ate it very happily and did not have the difficulty of weaning children at all.
"Okay." Jia Lian nodded his head fiercely.
Looking at Jia Lian's little appearance, Xia Lu was successfully amused.
"Elder sister." The Empress's younger sister, Madam Feng, saw the Empress and quickly bowed.
"Your Majesty." Madam Feng also bowed to the Empress.
"Mother, little sister, quickly get up." The Empress quickly said, "Linglong, quickly serve mother and little sister tea."
"Yes." Linglong quickly served tea to Madam Feng and little Madam Feng. Then, she tactfully led the servants away and let the Empress speak with her mother and little sister.
"Mother, is everything alright at home?" The Empress saw Madam Feng and was very excited.
"Everything is fine. I never thought that my son would have such a day." Madam Feng was very excited. The Fourth Prince had never had any ambition to fight for the throne. She originally thought that her child could only be a wangfei. She never thought that her own woman would have such good fortune to enter the palace and become the noblest woman in the world.
"Bengong also did not think." Ever since the Emperor Emeritus's imperial edict was issued, the Emperor ascended the throne, and the Emperor bestowed her with a title, she had successfully entered the palace. She felt like she was in a dream.
"It's all good now. My son is indeed blessed." Madam Feng took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face. Their Feng family was now conferred the title of Marquis Chengen. This was all brought by the Empress.
The Empress also smiled with tears in her eyes. Then, she looked at the silent little sister and said, "Jing niang? The Emperor Emeritus has already decreed the marriage, and the Ministry of Rites has already started to arrange it. Are you ready? "
"Eldest sister is good. After marrying the Fourth Prince, she became the Empress. But I am now marrying a widower. He has a son before him. What am I?" Madam Feng junior's tears flowed down as she spoke. Ever since she received the Emperor Emeritus's imperial edict, many people had said in her ear that it was difficult to be a stepwife. In the future, her children would not be able to inherit the title of nobility. She thought about her eldest sister. Although she had married the Fourth Prince before and the Fourth Prince was not favored, he was now the Emperor. Her eldest sister had also become the Empress, the noblest woman in the world. But her younger sister had to be given to a widower.
The Empress was shocked by her little sister's words and did not react for a moment.
Before the Empress could react, Madam Feng hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the Empress? This marriage was decreed by the Emperor Emeritus. I should not have brought you here today." Madam Feng was very angry. These days, her eldest daughter had become the Empress, and she had been busy preparing for her younger daughter's marriage. She had neglected her younger daughter's condition. She did not expect that she would lose her temper in front of the Empress.
Madam Feng junior was silent. She did not speak, but her tears kept flowing. She was an unmarried little girl. In her heart, there were stories about talented young ladies. Now that she knew that she was going to marry a man who already had a wife and a son, the beauty in her heart was destroyed. How could she stand it when some people were talking in her ear?
"Widower? Oh, even if the Heir of Rongguo Province is a widower, he is much more honorable than you, the Empress's younger sister. What are you? "The Empress looked at her little sister with shining eyes.
Madam Feng junior opened her eyes wide and looked at the Empress.
"Oh, even if all of us in the Feng family are compared with the Heir of Rongguo Province, we are not as honorable as him. If you are not my sister, do you think you can get this marriage? Even if the Heir of Rongguo Province is a widower, he still has a son. In this capital, countless families want to marry their daughters to him. "The Fourth Princess looked at her little sister with a naive face. There were some things that she had to make clear.
