Chapter 217 A Happy Event in the Meng Family
Early in the morning.
The morning light was shrouded.
The Meng family woke up very early.
Meng Qingshe started exercising early in the morning.
He liked the Qinglong sword the most. It was long and had copper rings on it. When he swung it, the rings made a rustling sound. It
was very powerful.
He danced with great care.
After a full set of martial arts, his entire shirt was soaked.
But he was full of energy.
After a short rest, he went to change clothes.
Mrs. Meng was actually exercising too. Her family was from the Ministry of Justice.
She held an iron ball, spread her legs, and swung it between her legs.
The movements are a bit inelegant, as she has to half squat and swing the iron ball with both hands, but she persisted and felt as if her waist was stronger, her legs were more beautiful, and her married life was more harmonious ().
Probably because she gave up on having a baby, it was a whole enjoyment.
Although she hasn't seen her daughter-in-law in the past few years, she has been exchanging letters with her. When she
first saw the letter, Mrs. Meng was a little nervous.
Although her family is also a family of officials, different families are different, and she couldn't stand the flowery feeling.
You go back and forth with me, and I'm a know-it-all, so I'll kill you.
But when she opened the letter, she saw very straightforward conversation, without any uncommon words, and there were pictures. Although the pictures were a bit hard to describe, they were very much to Mrs. Meng's liking.
She liked her daughter-in-law even before she met her in person, but after reading her letters, she liked her. No wonder her son liked her so much.
Life must be very lively here.
Jingzhou would send gifts during various festivals.
They were not particularly expensive, sometimes expensive, but most of them were practical.
She even wrote back and complained that she felt old, her waist was sore, and her legs were uncomfortable.
Her daughter-in-law even sent her an iron ball with armrests and drew some strange simple diagrams for her to follow to exercise.
It actually worked.
Of course, Mrs. Meng hid it and didn't let anyone know.
But the last time she went out for a party, someone asked her why her waist was so thin, and looked at her with envy and hatred.
Since she had a daughter-in-law, she has been the focus of parties many times.
Either the headdress is prettier, or the clothes are more unique, a hand warmer for winter, a fan for summer, all kinds of ingenuity to show off.
She always boasted that it was given by her daughter-in-law.
She heard that there were rumors outside that her daughter-in-law was more charming than Daji.
She laughed when she heard it, but did not explain. She heard from her son that she was a round-faced girl with a straightforward mind, and she had nothing to do with Daji anyway.
But she heard outside that the old Meng family loved beauties and could not move their legs away when they saw beautiful people.
Isn't this scolding her too? She is very happy.
Haha, she likes it most when people scold her, "Aren't you just beautiful? Don't you just marry well?"
The grandmother of the Meng family is also in good health.
She eats a lot.
She lives a rough life and likes to grow vegetables.
In summer, when gourds grow, the Meng family’s meals suffer.
They eat gourds every meal.
Fortunately, they can still have some pickled vegetables to go with it, which is very refreshing.
At breakfast, Meng Qingshe saw gourds on the table again, and her face turned as green as the gourd.
Old Lady Meng looked at her son’s face and scolded, "You bastard, don’t eat if you don’t want to."
Meng Qingshe: ...
When my son was here, at least there were the younger generation, and it wasn’t his turn to be a bastard.
The family was having dinner when the messenger came.
Nowadays, all the letters from Jingzhou are delivered as soon as possible.
Meng Qingshe quickly wiped her mouth, put down her chopsticks, and went to read the letters.
She found that her son had several letters, all delivered together.
There was also a letter to the child’s mother alone.
Meng Qingshe was a little jealous. Why did the child’s mother and the child’s grandmother have special letters?
But since it was written by his daughter-in-law, he, as a father -in-law, was too embarrassed to peek.
He saw several letters and opened them quickly.
Meng Qingshe finished reading them quickly.
He laughed out loud.
The Meng family has an heir.
The daughter-in-law is pregnant. Madam Meng and Old Madam Meng were also reading the letter from their daughter-in-law, saying that she felt like vomiting after eating anything. Madam Meng was excited and anxious. Some people would suffer a lot when they were pregnant. She wished she could go to Jingzhou to take care of them now. The thought made her feel good. She wouldn't have to take care of her son for three years, and when she does, maybe she will have grandchildren. This is really efficient. The Meng family was very happy that day, and the noises were much more pleasant. Madam Meng and Old Madam Meng went to the warehouse together to send things quickly, and sent everything that could be used. "It's great that my son has another son. We deserve to be prosperous." ... In the palace. The emperor is having breakfast. The emperor rarely attends court in person in the morning. In order to maintain his health, he begins to seek sleep time. The servants serve him. Eunuch Yan actually eats with him. The two are close, not physically close, but talking and chatting, very casual. At the emperor's age, women can be obtained by taking elixirs. He was interested at first, but after taking them a few times, he heard from the master that it was bad for the body and depleted the essence and blood, so he gradually lost interest in women. There are many fun things in this world, and he is also a playful person. If he doesn't play with concubines in the harem, he can have other hobbies.
Eunuch Yan is his new dining partner and playmate.
He is pure in mind and never cares about the twists and turns of the court officials. He is obsessed with art and likes singing and dancing, which pleases the emperor.
The two were eating and talking about the song from yesterday. The emperor felt that the last sentence was a bit stiff. He either wanted to get rid of it or change it.
Eunuch Yan thought about it and said, "If your emperor feels it is stiff, then you can get rid of it. I also think that adding one more sentence is a bit superfluous. I didn't think much about it when I wrote it, and it seems a bit inconsistent when it is sung. Your Majesty is still amazing."
The emperor laughed and accepted this daily flattery.
While they were eating, a eunuch came in with a pale face.
The emperor hated this kind of situation the most.
He couldn't even eat in peace.
But he also knew that if someone disturbed him while he was eating, it must be a sign of unrest.
After all, many people who disturbed him while he was eating were dragged out and beheaded.
He frowned slightly.
The eunuch knelt tremblingly. Although he didn't want to, he still said with a stiff upper lip: "Your Majesty, the prince is gone."
The emperor didn't react at all.
He let the eunuch kneel there and tremble all over.
He continued to eat and drink soup.
When he finished the last mouthful of soup, the spoon suddenly slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
The emperor had tears in his eyes.
"More than ten years ago, I heard the news of my ministers' death one after another, so I began to seek immortality.
I refused to accept it. I wanted to live as long as the heavens. I want to live forever.
Today, my son is gone.
The son I gave birth to is gone."
