"Sister, this is how I always speak." Mrs. Li said, twisting her handkerchief.
He glanced at An Li, who was so beautiful, and then took his eyes back.
Because the weather was hot, An Li asked his servants to serve chilled cakes and fruits to be eaten with tea.
The six people sat in the hall, with the maids fanning them with palm-leaf fans, which made them feel cool and refreshed.
They drank tea and chatted about gossip in Beijing, it was very lively.
As they talked, they started talking about Qian Shanshan, the daughter of the Minister of Works.
"I heard that Minister Qian went to Lingyin Temple and asked a senior monk for divination. He calculated that Qian Shanshan was in the southeast."
"The southeast is mountainous, with dangerous and treacherous mountains and swamps. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find."
Madam Li put the fan to her mouth and said mysteriously.
"It's probably too late to find her. There are no laws in the mountains, and the girl is in great danger." Madam Qin, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, shook her head with regret.
"Alas, maybe this is fate!" said Mrs. Gao, deputy lieutenant of the infantry.
The little girl is about the same age as Ting'er, and it really worries her parents.
After hearing what Mrs. Li said, An Li felt mixed emotions.
The monk was right, but that was Qian Shanshan’s retribution!
Otherwise, it would be Ling'er who was sold to the mountains!
The ladies chatted for a while and then went back to their homes.
An Li sent the person to the door and returned to the dormitory.
Little Xinbao is awake and her husband is playing with her.
"Li'er, your husband has something to discuss with you." Ming Wenqing sat up and said.
"Ling'er loves swordplay. I could teach her in my free time, but when I'm busy I don't have the time. So I think we should hire a female teacher for Ling'er."
Ladies of noble families learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework since childhood.
Few families let their daughters learn men's things.
But it’s different in the General’s Mansion. Ming Wenqing and An Li are open-minded and support their children in learning what they like.
More importantly, having been ill for more than ten years, they hope their daughter will be healthy.
"Husband, I will watch over you these few days." An Li said with a smile.
He picked up little Xinbao and kissed her face a few times.
Mingxin giggled, leaving saliva marks on her mother's face.
[I have martial arts secrets!]
[When Xinbao grows up a bit, she can be given to her third sister.]
Mingxin hopes to grow up quickly.
The couple looked at each other and smiled silently.
The next morning.
Just after breakfast, the eunuchs from the palace hurried to the general's mansion.
"Princess, please go to Shoukang Palace and persuade the Empress Dowager. She is so scared." The eunuch was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
An Li's heart skipped a beat. "Grandpa, what happened to my grandmother?"
The eunuch said, "When I arrived, the Empress Dowager had climbed up a tree and refused to come down. The Empress was almost crying!"
"I don't know if he has come down yet."
On the tree?
Grandma climbed up the tree?
She knows the characters, but why doesn’t she recognize them when put together?
My grandmother is already eighty years old this year. How can she climb a tree?
An Li breathed a sigh of relief, his head full of questions.
"Father-in-law, are you serious?" An Li couldn't believe it.
"Oh, Princess, how dare I lie to you!" The eunuch said respectfully. He would not dare to lie to this ancestor even if he dared to lie to anyone else.
The background is huge!
An Li was dumbfounded. An eighty-year-old grandmother climbing a tree?
A rare wonder that occurs only once in a thousand years!
She picked up Xinbao and hurried into the palace with her maid.
When I arrived at Shoukang Palace, I saw a person sitting on the tall sycamore tree in the garden.
The area below was filled with eunuchs and palace maids, who were holding cloth and stretching it out to receive the message from below.
The Queen's eyes were red as she shouted from below: "Mother, it's dangerous up there, please come down quickly!"
The little kid on the side waved his hands and shouted excitedly: "Grandma, Ye'er wants to go up too!"
The Empress Dowager shook her head and refused to go down no matter what.
"You guys go ahead, I just want to see the early morning sun."
An Li saw this scene when he came in. Isn’t this nonsense?
What should I do if an 80-year-old woman falls?
As luck would have it, the Empress Dowager saw An Li coming and said, "Li'er, your mother took some strengthening pills and has climbed up a tree early this morning. You should try to persuade her, maybe she'll listen to you."
An Li was still shocked at this moment.
He pursed his lips and said, "Aunt, let me try."
She suddenly understood that her grandmother was in good health now and must have climbed the tree because she wanted to feel the life.
This sycamore tree is hundreds of years old and very thick. I don’t know how I climbed up there.
She came under the tree and said, "Grandma, Li'er is here. Do you want to see Xinbao? Come down quickly."
"Grandma..."
The Queen Mother held food in one hand and ate while looking at the morning glow and the sun in the east, looking very comfortable.
When your body is healthy, you will have more energy!
Now I just want to live every day well.
She said to her granddaughter below: "Li'er, grandma will go down later."
The old lady became naughty!
An Li sighed, his grandmother was having a childish temper.
The Queen Mother got up from the tree and climbed a little higher.
The people below were so frightened that they dared not urge him on.
Mingxin was awakened by a noise and opened her eyes.
Oh wow! I suddenly felt happy!
[An eighty-year-old woman is better than a thirty-year-old boy.]
[Great-grandmother, be sure to watch your step!]
Mingxin giggled and looked at her great-grandmother in the tree.
When she was a child, she was naughty and climbed the sacred Fusang tree and even fell down.
“Crack!”
Just as she thought this, a twig broke under the Queen Mother's feet.
I stumbled and almost fell.
