my wife is wonderful

Chapter [-] Good News

"The fourth sister relied on her second uncle to become an official, and her grandmother loved her so much. She tricked us many times. I still remember that one time my mother specially made a gold hairpin for me to go to my uncle's house for a wedding banquet. In the end, it was stolen by my grandmother. The fine was confiscated, and within a few days I saw the gold hairpin lying in the fourth sister’s jewelry box.”

Geng Xingchen still felt suffocated when he thought about the days when Geng Xingbing had pressured him and cheated him from time to time.

Zhu Yan nodded in agreement, "It's annoying, but I don't know if Princess Ping has a brain convulsion or has taken the wrong medicine, or if Aunt Geng has poisoned her, it's really puzzling to think that she would promote a concubine like this. "

The two of them talked here for a long time, but did not hear Geng Xingshuang speak. Geng Xingchen couldn't help but ask: "Sixth sister, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking that the fourth sister has gained weight!" Geng Xingshuang said.

"I have gained weight. This means that the food in Prince Ping's Mansion is much better than that in Bo's Mansion." Geng Xingchen said.

generator , and I can’t see anything.”

Zhu Yan nodded, "If you mention it this way, her posture just now is indeed very similar to the state of my sister-in-law when she was pregnant."

Geng Xingchen's eyes widened, "You mean... the fourth sister is pregnant?"

"Not sure yet."

"Nine out of ten!"

Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan spoke at the same time.

"If Sister Xu were here, I would definitely be able to tell at a glance." Geng Xingshuang was a little regretful.

Geng Xingchen carefully recalled the appearance of Geng Xingbing when he saw her just now, and found that she only looked at Geng Xingbing twice from beginning to end, focusing on her face and the silver-red coat and skirt. Pay more attention to her body shape and posture.

However, she agreed with what Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan said.

"This also explains why Princess Tongping has to accommodate her fourth sister like this. Prince Ping has never had children."

It is said that Prince Ping had a difficult time as an heir. It was due to physical reasons before. Later, King Jin traveled thousands of miles for his brother, climbed to Yuyao Mountain, one of the most dangerous places, and collected the elixir Jade Yao flower for him. Prince Ping was so weak that he always coughed. His body gradually improved, and now he has recovered after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor.

This year, there was good news about a concubine in Prince Ping's inner courtyard, but they disappeared just three months ago.

If Geng Xingbing is really pregnant, then it makes sense for Princess Ping to treat her like this.

But Geng Xingshuang still had some doubts in her heart, feeling that Princess Ping had gone too far.

"If Fourth Sister puts down her posture to coax people, it wouldn't be strange for Princess Ping to do that."

Geng Xingchen said after learning of Geng Xingshuang's doubts.

The three of them chatted about today's affairs in the palace on the carriage, then sent Zhu Yan to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and the two sisters, Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen, returned to the uncle's mansion.

Time always flows by people inadvertently. When the first snow fell in Ningdu City in the fifteenth year of Shengning, Geng Xingshuang discovered that at some point, there were no dead leaves on the ground. Looking up, the trees were already bare. , from late autumn to completely entering winter, it seems to only happen overnight.

She remembered that during the first snowfall last winter, the emperor and all the adults went to Huangzhuang, from autumn hunting to winter hunting. At that time, Wu Shisun of Dingguogong and Zhu Ni made a marriage contract, and a group of them I went to Xuelinge to eat barbecue. The lively scene at that time was still fresh in my memory even a year later.

Geng Xingshuang sat in front of the window, watching the large tracts of snowflakes falling, and couldn't help but think of the Zhenyao Army heading north. According to the time calculation, if there were no accidents on the way, the Zhenyao Army should have been in Cangcheng for more than ten days. I don't know now How is the situation in the Northland?

The next day, Zhu Yan suddenly came to the uncle's house. Geng Xingshuang did not expect that he would get the news from Zhu Yan the next day as he was still thinking about it the day before.

"As soon as the Zhenyao army arrived at Cangcheng, they had no time to rest and immediately joined the battle. If they had arrived an hour later, Cangcheng would not have been able to hold on. Fortunately, they arrived in time. It was too timely. As soon as they arrived, they repulsed Yao Mu's army. If they hadn't just arrived and experienced another battle, the soldiers were hungry and exhausted. They chased Yao Mu back to their hometown in one fell swoop. They would never dare to set foot in Daning again. It's not impossible!" As soon as Zhu Yan got the news of Zhenyao Army's victory in the first battle, he ran to the Anping Mansion and couldn't wait to tell Geng Xingshuang the good news. Geng Xingchen of the Ruan family and Jiang family was also there. After hearing this, everyone was naturally very happy. .

"Did the good news arrive today?" Geng Xingshuang asked, "Did the Crown Prince come home to write a letter?"

Zhu Yan shook her head, "No, the good news was delivered to the palace last night. The emperor immediately announced it at the court meeting this morning. Sister Shuang and Sister Chen. I heard that the emperor also praised the third princess, the sixth princess, and the three princesses at the court meeting. Prince Chun and our Mingshang Pavilion said that the Zhenyao army encountered heavy snow before they arrived at Pingcheng. Fortunately, we sent the cotton clothes."

The first batch of cotton-padded clothes set off only two days later than the Zhenyao army. It was made up of all the inventory of Mingshang Pavilion plus emergency purchases, as well as persuading merchants such as Jinxiufang and Liuji Clothing Shop to cobble together. It was sent to the Northland together with the preliminary preparations by the Ministry of War.

As for what was later made by the embroiderers and tailors, as well as what the third princess called on the ladies and grandmothers of various families, they also set out ten days ago.

"Really?" Geng Xingshuang didn't expect that the emperor would mention Mingshang Pavilion at the court meeting.

"No, I was shocked when I heard what my mother said. My grandmother always thought that I was just playing house when it came to my business. Although she didn't stop her, she always felt that I was just playing around. Today He also praised me happily."

As she spoke, she smiled proudly, "Xiaoyu has always wanted to open a restaurant. My uncle and aunt agreed, but my grandmother always felt that the girl's family should stay in the boudoir, and she was taboo that Xiaoyu had been a cook before, and now he is opening a restaurant. Although the restaurant does not require her to cook in person, it is always related to her previous business, so she has not let go. Today, when she heard that the Ming Shang Pavilion we opened was actually praised by the emperor, she was so happy that she said to Xiaoyu, If you want to open a restaurant, just open it, but don’t be so petty that you only open a small restaurant. If you want to open a restaurant, open a big restaurant. If you don’t have any money, I’ll help you with it first, but you’ll have to pay me back when you make money!”

Zhu Yan imitated the words of Mrs. Zhen Guogong so perfectly that Ruan and others all laughed.

"I haven't seen Xiaoyu for a long time. If she opens a restaurant in the future, I will definitely go to support her."

"I'll go too." Geng Xingchen followed immediately.

When Geng Xingshuang saw Geng Xingchen, she suddenly thought of something, "Didn't I hear you tell me yesterday that Miss Li Er invited you to be a guest in Li Mansion?"

The second girl's name is Li Ying. She is Li Xu's cousin. She is only ten years old. In fact, it is said that she was invited by Li Ying, rather than by Mrs. Li or Li Xu.

Geng Xingchen blushed, "It's still early, I'll be there in a minute."

"It's getting late!" Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan said at the same time.

"Go quickly, it's your first time as a guest. It's never good to be late." Mrs. Jiang also said.

Although Geng Xingchen still wanted to talk to Zhu Yan Geng Xingshuang for a while, he knew that his mother was right, so he had to stand up, blushing slightly and go out with the maid Bai Zhi.

Just now, Mrs. Jiang was sending Geng Xingchen out and explaining some things on the way. When she saw Zhu Yan and heard about the victory of Zhenyao Army, she followed her to Qingcui Courtyard. Now Geng Xingchen is going to Li's house. Mrs. Jiang also left.

Geng Xingshuang originally wanted to keep Zhu Yan for lunch, but Zhu Yan said: "No, I promised my nephew to go back and bring him toys."

Geng Xingshuang laughed, "How old is he? Can he understand you when you talk to him?"

"But I said it before I left, and I have to do it."

"Anyway, you want to go back and play with your nephew, right?"

"You don't know how fun he is. He is white, tender and chubby, just like a dough ball."

Zhu Yan said, and the people were already walking out, "There is snow on the road, the carriage is moving slowly, and I have to pick out toys."

Seeing her anxious look, Geng Xingshuang didn't leave her alone.

Their relationship doesn't really matter over a meal or two anyway.
