Chapter 141 Nianxi's Marriage
After being sick, Nianxi lost a lot of weight and her chin became pointed.
Mrs. Li did not allow her to go to the Six Diseases Hall again, "You are still ill, so don't go to help the poor."
Wang Muyi privately expressed her envy, "If I could lose weight like you and look good, I would be willing to be sick for a month."
Unfortunately, Li heard what he said and passed it on to Wang Muyi's mother. As a result, Wang Muyi was able to have two more bowls of tonic soup every day.
Madam Xu also came to the Wen residence to visit her. Seeing that Nianxi was still ill, she just told her to rest and recuperate. "Madam Xian said that you can marry whoever you want. You are a good girl. There are many good men in the capital. Don't say you will never marry again."
"With Madam Xian and I here, no one can force you to go."
Mrs. Li was wiping away tears as she listened, and she held Mrs. Xu's hand, expressing her gratitude profusely.
When Madam Xu was young, she was nursing the emperor in the palace and she didn’t see her daughter for several months. Later, her daughter died and she was unable to see her for the last time.
Therefore, she has another kind of concern for Nian Xi.
Nian Xi herself was extremely grateful, "Thank you Madam and Madam Chengjing for running around for me."
The two ladies were able to arrive so timely on the Queen's Thousand Years Banquet that day because Nianxi saw that the situation was not good and sent Lanzhi to ask for help. She was helpless at that time and only tried her best.
Unexpectedly, the two ladies were so righteous, especially Madam Chengjing, who came to protect her even though she had difficulty walking.
"When I feel better, I will definitely work hard for Liuji Hall."
Mrs. Xu laughed, "You are not a helper, and it is more important to take care of your health."
Lu Huai is now also a frequent visitor to the Wen Mansion. Although the Wen family dislikes the Queen's family, no one can hate Xiao Qi.
It was all because the boy was too cute and had one clever remark after another, making Li so happy that she wished she could be her grandmother right there.
For this reason, Li started to look for Wen Qingheng again.
And Wen Qingheng must get married in the spring. Li has calculated that as long as Wen Qingheng doesn't hold her back, she will have a real grandson to hug by this time next year.
Wen Qingheng has been away for several days because of this.
The answer is that there is something going on in the government office and he can't leave.
"He is a minor official of the sixth rank in the Ministry of Works. What important matter could prevent him from even returning home?"
Zhou Yanli considerately poured a cup of Tremella and Lotus Seed Tea and handed it to Li:
"It's dry in winter, so auntie, drink some tea to moisten your lungs. I heard that His Majesty is going to repair the imperial mausoleum next year. This is a major event for the dynasty, so it's reasonable for Brother Qingheng to be busy."
Li drank a sip of the lung-moistening tea and really felt that her breathing became better. She turned her head to look at Zhou Yanli, who was sitting at the bottom. Her face was beautiful and bright like the morning sun. She couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Did you go to see Nian'er just now?"
Zhou Yanli smiled and replied, "Sister is painting. I see that she is in much better spirits than the last two days, which makes me feel relieved. She is painting seriously, and I don't want to disturb her. I remembered that I heard that my aunt had a cough yesterday, so I brought you the lung-moisturizing tea I brought from the south. I remember you like it."
"Thanks for your carefulness."
Li felt more and more relieved, "Your brother and sister are not as meticulous as you."
Zhou Yanli refused to say anything bad about Nianxi, "Sister is the most thoughtful one. She remembers all of Aunt's preferences. She was the one who told me about the Tremella and Lotus Seed Tea."
"You have been unable to bear anyone saying that Nian'er is not good since you were little, why are you still like this when you grow up?"
Zhou Yanli was stunned, not knowing what to say, his cheeks turned red, and he quickly drank tea to cover it up.
Li saw it all and smiled even more.
"The New Year is coming soon. Are you not going back this year? Are you going to spend it in Beijing?"
"I was going to come back, and my father sent me a letter. But I missed the trip, so I won't be coming back this year. It's no different from me anyway."
Li was silent for a while.
She naturally knew why Yan Li delayed his trip.
When Nianxi fell ill, the whole family was in a state of panic, and she could see Yanli's concern and worry.
He is a good child and truly cares about Nian'er.
Zhou Yanli will definitely stay in Beijing in the future, and he doesn't have much affection for his hometown in Nanjing.
if……
If Nian'er married her, she would be the head of the household and would not be controlled by her mother-in-law. Yanli would no longer be obedient to her.
Yan Li himself is well educated, has a promising future, is handsome, and has been childhood sweethearts with Nian'er, so they know each other very well...
If you think about it carefully, there are so many advantages that you can’t even count them on ten fingers!
Although Gu Ci was a good person and she really liked him, after what happened with Prince Jing, Li no longer dared to let Nian Xi's temper drag on.
Who knows how long Gu Ci will have to wait to come back?
So he asked tentatively, "I remember that you are one year younger than Nian'er. You scholars, like Heng'er, must pass the imperial examinations before you can start a family, right?"
"My sister is nine months older than me."
Zhou Yanli put down the teacup. His still immature face was full of sincerity, and his eyes were surprisingly bright. "I would like to get married first. In fact, I bought a house in Beijing a long time ago, not far from Yiqiao Street. I will move there after the New Year."
As he spoke, he blushed, "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Auntie. I have always envied Brother Qingheng for having such a good family. I used to fantasize about how great it would be if I were also a member of this family."
This is almost a statement of affection.
Li had nothing to complain about anymore, "Good boy, everything will be fine."
…
Nian Xi was indeed painting in the study.
The difference is that there is a little kid beside her.
Nian Xi still remembered that before she fainted, Lu Huai used his small body to block her. She asked, "How can you catch me? Aren't you afraid that I will crush you?"
Lu Huai pretended to show off his arms without any muscles, "I'm very strong, I'm not afraid of falling, but you have so little muscle, what will happen if you fall?"
Children's preferences are often the most straightforward, without any impurities, and their concern is simple and sincere.
Nianxi was really touched.
"If you're really grateful, you can just embroider a sachet," Lu Huai glanced at Nian Xi, and was very good at climbing up the ladder. "It doesn't need to be a complicated pattern, just a mandarin duck playing in the water will do."
"I'll embroider you a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water?"
Nian Xi was a little surprised, "Mr. Lu, how old are you this year?"
"Who said it was for me? It was for my daddy."
Lu Huai put down his brush and asked seriously, "When will you marry him? In operas, isn't it always the scented sachets that seal love?"
He said calmly, "I think the sooner the better this marriage will happen."
"Who said I was going to marry him?"
Lu Huai had a look of despair, "Aren't you going to get married? But I've even thought of a name for your future child."
Nian Xi didn't know about the rumors, and she had never thought about marrying Lu Wensheng, but she was really curious, "What name did you choose?"
"Xiaoba, Xiaojiu and Da Meiniu."
Nian Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What is a big beauty?"
"Sister~"
Lu Huai stretched out his short, chubby little hands and counted them one by one, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, Xiao Jiu are the brothers, and Da Mei Niu is our sister!"
"That beautiful girl must be very beautiful!" he vowed.
Nianxi: ...
"Xiao Qi, I am deeply grateful to the Duke of Fuguo for helping me that day, just as I am grateful to you. So should I marry you?"
Lu Huai subconsciously knew that this was different. but--
"You don't like my dad?!"
"……yes."
At this moment, there was a little boy who broke gently.
