Chapter 376 Extra: Tasteful
"Yutan, I married you, you are my wife, who should I protect if I don't protect you?"
Jiang Huaiqing sighed, "I didn't consider your point of view before. You must be disappointed, right?"
Offspring are important, but not that important.
If there is one, the home will be lively; if not, the couple can enjoy themselves happily together.
Thanks to Jiang Yuzhu's advice, otherwise Jiang Huaiqing would not be able to find the crux of the problem and would be wandering around in circles.
For more than three years, Princess Yutan drank the bitter medicine soup every day, but not only did her health not improve, she also developed many side effects.
She didn't want to waste herself anymore, so she gave Chunyu away and chose to return to the palace.
"Huaiqing, don't you have any regrets?"
Ordinary people are all obsessed with incense. Princess Yutan has been childless for many years and she feels guilty towards the Jiang family.
"It's a bit regrettable, but how can there be a perfect solution in this world?"
The prerequisite for Jiang Huaiqing to want an heir is that he must have a child with Princess Yutan. If not, he doesn’t want one.
"You and I are happy together. Besides, women have to go through a lot of hardships when giving birth. When my younger sister gave birth to twins, Yuanhe was scared for a long time and refused to have another one no matter what."
As for Jiang Fulu and Chen, Jiang Huaiqing had a deep talk with his parents respectively, "Guess what?"
"I guess you might have been beaten. Did your mother use a feather duster?"
Princess Yutan's face flushed, and there was a long-lost light in her eyes. After she figured it out, she felt extremely refreshed.
In her life, she protected the people living along the border of Da Qi and took back the city of Si Shui. Perhaps because she had committed too many sins of killing, she was destined to be childless.
From now on, Princess Yutan will not force it.
Jiang Huaiqing widened his eyes and asked in shock: "Yutan, how did you know?"
He was indeed beaten. He was almost thirty years old and was chased by his mother Chen, so that he had to flee everywhere and became a laughing stock among the people in the mansion.
Jiang Huaiqing touched his face. Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise his face would have been disfigured.
Princess Yutan shook her head and laughed, "Mother looks powerful, but if she really catches up with you, the feather duster will fall down unconsciously."
This was a new discovery Princess Yutan made after observing for a long time in Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Fulu and Chen are truly wise people who love their children very much.
The two brothers of the Jiang family had average education, but Jiang Fulu never felt ashamed of his sons. He did not ask them to follow in his father's footsteps, nor did he force them to do so.
Jiang Huaiqing also knew what Princess Yutan said. This was the foundation of the Jiang family's harmony and stability.
But it is an indisputable fact that my parents favor my younger sister.
"Don't say that my parents are partial to me. My elder brother and I are also partial to my younger sister."
When Jiang Huaiqing mentioned Jiang Yuzhu, his smile became even more pronounced.
"So, you got beaten up. We can solve the problems between husband and wife by ourselves. Why do you bother my little sister?"
After Princess Yutan finished speaking, she said cheerfully, "It's been a while since we last competed. Why don't we have a fight?"
Before he could finish his words, Princess Yutan made the first move. Jiang Huaiqing howled and galloped away on his horse.
On the long streets of the capital, the couple chased each other.
Summer came early this year, and by the Dragon Boat Festival, the main courtyard of Xie's mansion could not do without the ice basin every day.
In order to cool down, Jiang Yuzhu spent a large sum of money and sent craftsmen to carve ice beds so that people could take naps to cool off.
It’s a pity that even if the insulation is done well, the ice bed can only be used for a few days and it is very expensive.
After Shen and Xie Xuan arrived in the capital and the family was reunited, Jiang Yuzhu put the matter of going to the northwest on the agenda.
Jiang Fulu had no objection to his daughter's going out to travel, but he just said, "Yuzhu, on the way to the northwest, you must be careful of bandits. Say hello to the tribe members on behalf of your father. If there are good seedlings in the tribe, pick a few and bring them back."
The imperial examinations must start from a young age. Jiang Fulu still regrets that he neglected to discipline his two sons.
Does he respect his son? No.
At that time, he was busy competing with others in the officialdom. In order to gain a foothold, he had to be extremely cautious, so he had no time to keep an eye on his offspring.
The reason why aristocratic families are prosperous is that there are many educated people in the family and they stick together.
How can there be no small groups in the court?
Jiang Fulu sent all of his cousins to the Imperial College to audit classes, but they didn't achieve anything after several years.
The old ones are no longer able to do it, so we have to rely on the younger ones.
Good things will happen. If you take good care of the Jiang family, they will become a century-old prestigious family in no time.
"Dad, I know."
Jiang Yuzhu went to see Chen again and told her about her plan, "Do you want to go to the northwest with your daughter?"
"A few years ago, Yuanhe brought your grandparents to the capital. When mother saw them, it was like a wish came true. Your cousin Chen Tao is in charge of the family, so you should go and spend more time with him."
The Jiang family and the Chen family are in-laws. Chen has selfish motives and wants to take care of her natal family more.
"Jinbao and Yinbao are both studying. Speaking of which, your sister-in-law hasn't been home since she got married. I guess she's looking forward to it."
With Chen in charge at home, Jiang Huaida and Jiang Huaiqing can take their wives away and relax.
If we take the escort team with us, it will be easier to have someone to look after us on the road as there are more people.
"Mom, if you calculate the time, Wanqing will give birth in September. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back in time."
After Han Zhen returned to Beijing, he was promoted step by step. He is now in charge of the defense of the west city of Beijing. He married Su Wanqing. The couple has been married for more than three years and just had their first child.
Jiang Yuzhu prepared a longevity lock and valuable gifts early on, and sent someone to take them to her parents' home.
"Thank you, Steward. It's no problem for me to ask for a favor. Mother and Wanqing have a good relationship. Please go visit them on behalf of your daughter."
This time, Mo Qianyu and Shen Zhilan would also join in the fun. Jiang Yuzhu thought about it and decided that it would be more appropriate for her mother to come over.
The title of Second Rank Lady also means to support Su Wanqing.
"Speaking of which, Zhilan is also a lucky person. Not long after she gave birth, Madam Mo was willing to let the couple go out for a walk."
If it were any other high-ranking family in the capital, forget it.
It is extremely rare to find a mother-in-law who does not torture her daughter-in-law.
"Mother, let me tell you, no matter how good Madam Mo is, she can't compare to you."
Jiang Yuzhu was sincere and had no intention of flattering her mother. "Second sister-in-law was not pregnant, but you never acted mean. On the contrary, you counseled her. It is hard to find a mother-in-law who can do this in the capital."
After hearing this, Chen waved her hands and said, "What's that? Mother has advised your second sister-in-law to drink less tonics before, and let nature take its course in terms of having children, and not to feel pressured. She lost her mother when she was young, and it's not easy for her to make a living under the old woman Queen Dowager Xuan. Others only see her practicing martial arts and expanding the territory for Great Qi. Mother doesn't ask for this. I feel sorry for her for having to live under the eyes of others at such a young age."
Chen never urged her because she never treated Princess Yutan as her daughter-in-law but as her daughter.
From another perspective, how can a mother not feel sorry for her daughter?
Even if there is no heir from the second wife, the Jiang family's incense will not be cut off, as long as the couple lives in harmony.
"At your age, what's there to worry about?"
For example, Chen came with great confidence in Jiang Fulu, but during the period of the palace coup, Jiang Fulu chose to eat meat and drink with a small group, leaving her to worry every day.
The truth is to understand your own life first.
Princess Yutan was standing outside the door and happened to hear her mother-in-law talking about her opinion on her childlessness. She did not intend to eavesdrop.
Hearing what Chen said, Princess Yutan's eyes turned red.
In the eyes of many people, she is someone who does not need to be protected, but Chen really loves her.
Just as she was about to cry out loud, Princess Yutan was amused again after hearing Chen's subsequent words.
Life at the Jiang family is full of fun and it’s just so wonderful!
