Chapter 113 Please Invite Auntie Over
Seeing this, Yuan Yuhe asked, "Why are Chu'er and son-in-law back? Where's Chengfeng?"
"Father, mother, second uncle, second aunt, and eldest brother." Mingyuechu greeted them with a smile and greeted the elders and eldest brother one by one.
"When you, Grandmother, and Father returned from Chaozhou, I was suffering from a cold and couldn't go home to visit. Now I heard that Grandmother was alone at home, so I brought Chengfeng here yesterday to keep her company. Chengfeng is now in Grandmother's care."
"I figured you guys should be back by now, so my husband and I will go out and wait for you."
Ming Weishen's subordinate, Chen Meng's eldest son, Ming Yuechu's husband, Chen Simian, bowed and said, "Si Mian greets his father-in-law, mother-in-law, second uncle, and second aunt."
Then he turned to Mingzhao and said, "Brother."
Mingzhao nodded, turned around and helped Shi Jianli and Mingyuelin down.
Ming Weisu nodded, "Let's talk inside."
Mingzhao lowered his head and said to Shi Jianli, "Let's go back to the yard first and visit grandma tomorrow."
Shi Jianli was about to shake her head when Yuan Yuhe turned to her and said, "Li'er, you'll do as you say. You're not as energetic as usual, and you've been sitting in the carriage for a long time. Go back and rest first. I'll go and talk to them for you."
Having said this, Shi Jianli could only nod and say, "Okay, thank you, auntie."
Mingyuechu's eyes fell on Shi Jianli and she asked with concern, "Why does Sister Li look unwell? Are you sick?"
"I was injured a little, so I can't say much outside the door. Thank you for your concern, big sister." Shi Jianli smiled slightly.
After entering the mansion, Mingzhao first sent Shi Jianli back to Tangliyuan.
"What do you want to eat? I'll ask Tianfeng to go to the kitchen."
"Anything is fine."
Mingzhao also heard this and picked up a few dishes she often ate and told them to Tianfeng, and then said: "Have a good rest after dinner."
"Okay." She looked up at him slightly.
Mingzhao pinched her face and said, "I'm leaving."
"Yeah." Shi Jianli was supported by Lanxing and entered the yard.
Mingzhao first went back to Langganyuan to change his clothes, and then went to Fushoutang.
By then, Ming Weisu was holding his eldest grandson on his lap and teasing him. Chen Chengfeng was now nine months old and was at the age of being lively and active. He stretched his arms and legs on Ming Weisu's lap.
"This child's legs are really strong." Ming Weisu said with a smile.
Ming Yuechu continued, "Yes, I often can't hold him anymore after holding him for too long."
Mingzhao also stepped forward and asked, "Grandma, have you had a good appetite these days?"
"Very good. Did you send Li'er back?"
"Yes, it has been sent back to the yard." Mingzhao sat down next to Yuan Yuhe, "Mother, I want to renovate my yard, expand it, and build a small kitchen."
"Okay, your yard should be cleaned up. I'll ask someone to find a craftsman tomorrow."
"Thank you, mother."
…
After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Shi saw Li lying on the table, flipping through the cloth sample album and account book sent from the shop.
"Miss, the old lady is here." Xianyue came in and said.
Shi Jianli was surprised and quickly got up and went out.
Xianyue took the cloak and put it on her, "Miss, be gentle and don't pull the wound."
The old lady entered the room first. Seeing her coming out, she hurriedly said, "Please sit down. You are injured. There is no need to come out to greet me. It is not necessary to follow the etiquette at this time."
Shi Jianli waited for the old lady to sit down before sitting down, "Why are you here, old lady? I was thinking of going to see you later."
"How can I ask you, a wounded person, to come see me? You shouldn't be walking around while you're recovering. I don't have anything to do on weekdays, so a walk would be nice. It's not far from here." The old lady held her hand and looked at her face carefully. "You look a lot paler. You looked very healthy before you left."
"Thank you for your concern. It will be back in a few months."
The old lady smiled and nodded. "You look energetic and vigorous. I'll bring you some supplements later."
Shi Jianli felt a little helpless, "Thank you, old lady."
Nowadays, the most common thing in her yard is probably supplements.
The old lady patted her hands, feeling sorry for the child.
"Madam, young lady, the eldest young lady is here." Lan Xing came in and lifted the curtain.
"Please come in, young lady."
Mingyuechu was led in by Lanxing, with a wet nurse holding a baby about one year old beside her.
"Grandma, I didn't expect you to be here here." Mingyuechu was a little surprised to see the old lady.
Mingyuechu had always known Shi Jianli to be a well-mannered person, and her elders had a good impression of her. But she was still surprised when she first learned that she was engaged to her eldest brother. Now, seeing that the old lady had come to visit her so early, she was even more surprised.
It seems that she is indeed highly valued by the elders in her family.
The old lady nodded and said, "A younger generation in the family was injured. As the elder, your grandmother is still able to walk, so of course I have to come and see him."
"Grandma has always loved us grandchildren." Mingyuechu smiled and nodded, then took her son in her arms. "We're going back this afternoon, so I brought Chengfeng here to meet Sister Li. The last time we met was in January when Chengfeng was just born and you and your second sister came to visit."
Shi Jianli pinched the child's arm and said, "Chengfeng has grown really strong."
"Yes, he's very naughty. He's at the age where he crawls all over the floor. He can't stand being left unattended for even a moment." Mingyuechu shook the child. "He's also very heavy. It takes a lot to hold him. Since you're still injured, I won't let you, your aunt, hold him."
Shi Jianli looked at Xianyue, and Xianyue brought a box.
She opened it, took out a pair of gold bracelets suitable for children, and put them on the child's wrists. "This is a meeting gift."
"Chengfeng thanks your aunt~" Mingyuechu grabbed his son's hand and made a goodbye gesture. The child thought he was playing with him and giggled.
"You're welcome~" Shi Jianli poked the smile on his face, "You're still a cheerful person."
"Yes, he laughs at anyone who teases him, and he's not afraid of people. Sometimes when he's in a good mood, he'll grab people and talk to them, hug them and kiss them. Even at his age of teething, he'll slobber all over people's faces."
Seeing that Li was recovering from her injuries, Mingyuechu didn't want to disturb her any longer. After sitting for a while, he followed the old lady.
In the afternoon, the reward from the imperial edict came down, and the eunuch who came to deliver the reward handed a box to Shi Jianli.
The eunuch said respectfully, "Princess, this is the title deed to the Princess's Mansion and your identity badge. The plaque has already been installed, and the calligraphy is the Emperor's. Princess Kangning sent palace maids to clean the mansion this morning. You can move in after you hire servants."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Jianli asked Lanxing to pass the reward over. "I've asked you to go and inform me. Please convey your gratitude to Princess Kangning."
"My Lady, you are so polite. I will help you pass on your message. Once the task is completed, I will return to the palace."
"Lanxing, send the eunuch out of the house."
After the people in the palace left, Shi Jianli opened the box and saw what was inside. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Soon, she closed the box and handed it to Xianyue, "Go and help me invite my aunt over."
"Yes, girl."
After a while, Qiao Ruoying arrived at Tangli Courtyard and sat beside her. "Li'er, are you looking for me?"
"Aunt, I would like to ask you to help me select some servants and send them to Suzaku Street." Shi Jianli leaned her head on her shoulder.
