Chapter 193 Zhang and Liu
What she loves most are her two grandsons, who are obedient, well-behaved, sensible and capable.
She doesn't even love Yi'an this much.
"Grandma." Weng'er cried.
She wiped away his tears, looked at her husband again, and smiled, "I've earned this life."
After saying this, she closed her eyes and left her family forever.
The Xia Mansion quickly changed to white sails.
People outside also got the news, and the Li family was the first to come.
Wen Li stayed with Xia Yutong, and Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyu were enough to take care of the funeral.
"Don't be sad." Wen Li was afraid that she would feel bad, so he stayed by her side.
Xia Yutong leaned on him. She was not very sad. Birth, old age, sickness and death are common in life.
She wondered when her mother realized that she was not her Xiaotong.
I wonder if anyone else at home knows about this?
She was only seven years old when she came into this world. At that time, Xia's mother was mentally retarded and Xiaoxuan was young and didn't remember much.
After so many years, when did my mother find out?
Xia Yutong's silence made Wen Li very worried.
But he didn't disturb her and stayed with her quietly.
Xia's mother's funeral was very simple.
However, many ministers from the court came to express their condolences, and they were all received by Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyu.
Wen Li did not show up.
Xia's mother's coffin was placed at home for five days, and the funeral was held on the morning of the sixth day.
Fortunately, Xia Yurong and Ouyang Chang rushed back that day.
The two of them put on mourning clothes and went directly to their mother (grandmother) for the last time.
After the funeral, Father Xia lost all his energy and spirit.
But he practiced martial arts, so his foundation was a little better.
But my spirit is not good.
Seeing him like this, Xiaoxuan took him to his home.
Father Xia was no longer as meddling in Xiaoxuan's affairs as before. When he arrived at Xiaoxuan's house and saw that it was even more luxurious than the Xia Mansion, Father Xia couldn't get used to it.
After living there for three days, he returned to the place where he and his old wife lived.
It’s still comfortable here.
Because Li Yiran was pregnant and her mother-in-law passed away, Mrs. Li was worried and moved directly into the Xia Mansion.
Now the Xia Mansion is run by Xiaoyu and Li Yiran.
Xia Yurong was very sad about her mother's departure. After staying in the palace with her elder sister for a few days, she returned to South City.
After all, that is her home.
This time I came here with the couple and their child, so of course we will go back together.
After Rongrong left, Xia Yutong felt that without their mother, the children would no longer have that little connection.
There is a feeling of everyone living their own life.
Unlike when my mother was around, there was something that tied us together.
The most obvious change is in the Xia Mansion.
Xia Yutong went out of the palace to visit her father once, and the Xia family had changed.
Under the arrangements of Li Yiran and Madam Li, the Xia Mansion has undergone great changes.
Xia Yutong didn't say anything, but just sighed in her heart.
Father Xia locked himself in his yard every day and rarely came out.
Most of the time I stay alone.
The fourth year of Wenfeng, we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and usher in the fifth year of Wenfeng.
Everyone is developing on their own.
The Great Yan Dynasty was also thriving.
Father Xia was also taken out by Xiaoxuan.
Cheng'er was sent to the palace by Xiaoxuan and placed under the care of Xia Yutong.
He once again took his father and daughter-in-law on a long journey.
This time, he plans to go overseas.
When he arrived in Guangcheng, he first went to find Chang'er, because Chang'er had told him that if he wanted to go out to sea, he should take him with him.
Before leaving, he asked his eldest sister, who agreed to let him take Chang'er with him. Not only that, she also said that Guangcheng had some surprises for him.
Sure enough, after finding Chang'er, he explained his purpose.
Chang'er was so happy after hearing this.
Because, in the past two years, Guangcheng not only trained the navy, but also asked the Ministry of Works to send many craftsmen to build ships.
Now, we are just waiting to go out to sea for experimentation.
He is the leader this time.
After listening to Chang'er's words, Xia Zixuan finally knew what the surprise his elder sister was talking about was.
But you still need to prepare before going out to sea.
Not only material things, but also other things.
Xiaoxuan has learned from those Westerners that the porcelain, tea and some other things here are what the West needs most right now.
Xiaoxuan didn't forget to make money when he went out. He directly pulled a boatload of goods and spent half a year to prepare.
After receiving the letters from Xiaoxuan and Chang'er, Xia Yutong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Are these two people planning to rob foreign countries?
Because they wrote to her asking for only one thing, which was the formula for the gunpowder she had.
Of course Xia Yutong would not refuse.
This thing has long been used in the Ministry of Industry.
When Wen Li came over, Xia Yutong asked him to quickly send the things over so as not to delay their journey.
After this trip, Xia's father became interested in the foreign countries that Xiaoxuan mentioned.
Xiaoxuan also wanted to go along, of course he had no objection.
Autumn of the fifth year of Wenfeng.
Xia Zixuan boarded a large ship for a long voyage with his wife, daughter and father.
On this day, Ouyang Chang also resigned from his official position in the navy and left Dayan to find his own spring.
After they left, Heng'er felt so sad.
He was not afraid of death and asked his father when he could go out of the palace to play.
Wen Li glanced at him sideways and said, "After you succeed to the throne."
Ouyang Gen shut his mouth.
You're just kidding. If he really succeeds to the throne, will he still have a chance to play?
Xiaoxuan and his crew's voyage did not cause much trouble in Dayan.
However, when the navy learned of Ouyang Chang's identity, they were all shocked.
They all admired the prince for being able to endure such hardship.
Imperial city.
Xia Yutong accompanied Yi'an in practicing alchemy in the palace every day.
This kid has quite a talent.
The elixirs he made were much stronger than the pills she made.
Of course, there must be people to test the medicine when making the elixir.
She was a playful person and used a lot of medicine to tease her elder brother.
As for Ouyang Gen, he was tricked by his younger sister and ended up favoring two palace maids.
After Xia Yutong found out, she taught Yi'an a lesson.
However, she didn't care much about what happened in Gen'er's room. After asking him how he wanted to arrange it, she saw that he had his own ideas, so she didn't care anymore.
However, Weng'er is old enough and it's time to get married.
It's not that she hadn't prepared for it before, but Wen Li didn't let him get married so early because she was afraid that it would delay things.
Now that Xia Yutong was urging him like this, he had no choice but to start looking for candidates for his daughter-in-law.
Gen'er and the others are different from him. Ever since the last incident, Wen Li has seen clearly that his two sons are both sentimental people.
It's impossible to let them pick just one.
When their parents are around, they may restrain themselves, but once their parents are not around, if they explode, it will be a big deal.
It would be better to make them feel more comfortable starting from the source.
Of course, Xia Yutong wouldn't comment on anything.
Fortunately, the show was selected last year, and there were still many good girls. She chose two of them to be concubines for her son.
Of course, Gen'er had no objection.
He was very happy about this.
At night, after he finished his father's orders, he returned to his palace and saw the two concubines chosen for him by his mother. It must be said that his mother had a good taste.
Gen'er is not Chang'er. Ouyang Chang is coquettish outwardly, while Ouyang Gen is coquettish in a reserved manner.
The status of both of them is not high, so it would be perfect to make them concubines.
There will be no threat to future queens.
He has been holding back on meat since his last try, and he is actually a little grateful to Yi An.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have the good life he has now.
"What's your name?" Ouyang Gen saw through the two people at a glance.
One is brighter looking, the other is a bit dull, but both are good looking.
Ouyang Gen looked at the two of them and felt very relieved. Although his mother scolded him, she still arranged the candidate she liked for him.
He likes people with good looks.
Of course, he doesn't judge people by their appearance. Those who are capable are capable.
Just like his wife, he doesn't plan to marry someone without brains.
When Zhang saw the eldest prince staring at them with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, she became bolder.
The red lips opened, "The eldest prince." The voice was so soft and beautiful, like the trickle of a mountain spring, the cry of an oriole, the gentle breeze in the air, and the lingering clouds in the sky.
Just by hearing her voice, Ouyang Gen felt a little itchy.
Of course, as a prince, he couldn't be too embarrassed.
He shifted his body twice quietly so as not to let them see his discomfort.
"What's your name?" He couldn't let herself be seduced by her.
Zhang was relieved to see that the eldest prince was not angry because of her voice.
Because of her voice, she was often ostracized by her sisters at home.
People always say that she is seductive and not a decent woman.
"My name is Ruyan." Zhang answered, moving closer to the eldest prince.
The scent of her body entered his nostrils bit by bit.
Ouyang Gen felt a burning sensation in his heart as he listened to her sweet voice.
He pulled people into his arms. After all, this was his palace and the palace maids would not say anything. He still had this ability.
"Yes, let this prince see Ruhe Ruyan."
Seeing the eldest prince like this, the other somewhat dull Liu planned to leave.
Just as she took a step, Ouyang Gen saw her movement.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was young, so he knows his physical condition well. Zhang can't bear it alone.
"Ms. Liu, where do you want to go?" Ouyang Gen asked Ms. Zhang to move a little to the side. The chair was so big that it could accommodate three people.
Liu stopped.
She actually has a disease, which is why she has rarely gone out in recent years. That is, she cannot get too close to men.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would...
She didn't dare to gamble. She was afraid that her behavior would be disliked by the eldest prince. If she was sent back, how would she survive?
Although Zhang was a delicate girl, she was very clear about her status. As a concubine, she had no right to be jealous here.
She also understands men's minds, and when she was at home, she received a lot of guidance from her mother.
It's just that she is too delicate, which makes her behave in a different way.
"Sister Liu, please don't go. The eldest prince can't bear to leave you. Come here quickly." She had some troublesome hands on her body and spoke with a little discomfort.
There was nothing she could do about it; she was just like that, unable to suppress the changes in her voice.
Liu raised her head and looked at the two people hugging each other, her face flushed.
She saw the eldest prince's hands restlessly on Zhang, and she knew what would happen next without thinking too much. What was she still doing here? She was not a person without judgment.
What's more, she felt embarrassed.
If she didn't leave, she was afraid she would be driven away.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I am not feeling well, so I will not disturb your pleasure." Liu was still a girl, so of course she would be shy when she saw such a scene.
After saying this, she ran away without waiting for Ouyang Gen to stop her.
Ouyang Gen was helpless: "This prince was not mean to her." He felt a little aggrieved.
Although he was quite fierce at first, he was still very friendly to his own people.
Zhang smiled but didn't dare to say anything. She was really afraid that the eldest prince would cause trouble.
Forget it, since she is not happy about it, he should just get down to business first.
He was still very careful about his image when he was outside, and took Zhang to the backyard.
When he arrived at her yard, Ouyang Gen took a look and found it quite nice.
There were few people in his backyard now, and her status was higher than the two people he had favored before, and she lived better than them.
However, they are all his women, and he will not let anyone down.
In the room, Ouyang Gen patiently accompanied Zhang for dinner.
In order to eat it, Ouyang Gen immediately ordered the palace maids to leave.
And his eunuch was guarding the door outside.
"Come here, let me hug you." When there was no one around, Ouyang Gen seemed like a different person.
Looks very ruffian.
Zhang was startled for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said in a delicate voice, "Master." Her voice was sweet and light, with a long ending, which made people feel a little restless.
Without outsiders, Ouyang Gen could no longer bear it.
I wasn't in such a hurry at first, but I didn't expect that she was too attractive.
He hugged her and said, "Your voice is really seductive. Tell me, are you doing this on purpose?" He had never seen what she was like in front of outsiders, but in front of him, her voice was too seductive.
Zhang was stunned, and then her face turned ugly.
She immediately stood up from the eldest prince and knelt before him: "Your Highness, this is how my voice was born. Please investigate carefully."
When she entered the palace, her mother said that if her voice was favored, it would be fine, but if it was not favored, she would never be able to turn over a new leaf.
Now hearing the eldest prince ask this, Zhang was frightened.
Ouyang Gen was a little confused, but he soon figured out what was going on.
No matter how coquettish or charming she was, his mother still trusted her.
Since she was given to me, she must be an innocent girl.
Just cater to his preferences.
"There's no need to do this. You were all chosen by my mother. This prince believes in her." Ouyang Gen also put away his playful thoughts and helped the man up.
Forget it, it’s important to get down to business.
The night is still long, but his time is limited, as he has to help his father sort out court affairs tomorrow.
He carried the person directly into the bedroom.
The place where these concubines lived was just a courtyard.
Like the two before, they lived in the same yard, and whatever they did at night could be heard clearly by the other person.
After hesitating for a long time, Ouyang Gen lost his patience...
Seeing that her skin was as delicate as her voice, Ouyang Gen felt that he might have found a treasure.
He loved to hear her voice and wanted to play a trick on her, so he started to torture her.
She is delicate and very attractive.
Zhang's voice didn't change much from before. Now, Ouyang Gen finally understood that she was like that.
I felt more pity for her.
However, no matter how much she sympathized with him, he was still a young man who had just come into contact with women, and she had suffered a lot.
Ouyang Gen is a chivalrous man. Although he usually looks serious, he is just as good as An when it comes to teasing people.
It's a credit to Miss Zhang that she was able to persevere.
