"Chengyin!" Meiya, Xiaoanshi, and Gu Qingtong hurriedly went to meet her. Meiya held Fang Chengyin's hand and said hurriedly, "You must be exhausted from the journey. Come inside and rest."
"Yes, thank you, Madam." Fang Chengyin was a little plumper than before, and perhaps because she was a mother, she was also more gentle than before. She walked into the room holding hands with Meiya and the others, and kept reminding Kong Wenjie, "Don't hold too tightly, your hands are too strong, don't strangle the child."
"Yes, yes, don't worry," Kong Wenjie agreed hurriedly. As he walked forward with Kong Wenmin, he whispered to Kong Wenmin, "Brother, I forgot to ask you just now, have you chosen a name for the baby?"
"Qingxuan has been named," Kong Wenmin looked at the thin back of Chen Qingxuan in front of him and said to Kong Wenjie with a smile, "Call him Zeyi."
"Choose one?" Kong Wenjie was startled, then nodded, "What a good name."
Yes, a gentleman is like water, which can adapt to different shapes and be at ease everywhere. He chooses one person to grow old with and one city to live out his life in. It is indeed a good name.
…
The guests and hosts were all having a great time, and by the time the banquet was over, it was already dusk.
Zhong Mingwei drank to his heart's content today, and Mei Ya did not stop him. She let them do what they wanted. The men were playing finger-guessing games and guessing drinking orders, and the women were not idle either. They sat together, drinking osmanthus wine and chatting about girls' private matters. They talked about the sauerkraut pickled by Grandma Chen, the eight-treasure sweet cheese made by the master chef of Zhenweizhai, the lotus pond in Nanshan Villa, and the setting sun on the ancient road in Chenjiatun. These were the times they had spent together, whether they were experiencing torment and depression, hardship and poverty, or hardships. Seeing them now, they were the most beautiful and warmest things in their memories.
Zhong Mingwei was very drunk and was helped directly into the bedroom. The two brothers Kong Wenmin and Kong Wenjie were not much better, especially Kong Wenmin, who could hardly speak clearly. Chen Qingxuan patiently helped him into the sedan chair, then turned around and said goodbye to Meiya.
"Madam, the master is too drunk. If he really can't get up tomorrow, it's okay to skip work for a day." Chen Qingxuan said to Mei Ya. He didn't drink much because Kong Wenmin's alcohol tolerance was really not good. He had prepared to take care of Kong Wenmin early in the morning.
"I would like him to take a day off and have a good rest, but he has to be willing to do that." Mei Ya shook her head helplessly and smiled.
Since he ascended the throne, Zhong Mingwei has never stopped attending court, except for major festivals such as New Year's Eve, and Mei Ya's childbirth. Mei Ya has always felt sorry for Zhong Mingwei, but as the queen, she has no reason to persuade the emperor to stop attending court.
"Then you will have to trouble Madam to take care of me," Chen Qingxuan shook his head helplessly, paused, and pursed his lips and said, "Fortunately, this summer, my master and my wife will go on a tour to Ningguta. This way, we will have half a year of leisure time. Then my master and my wife can relax."
"Yes, now we are looking forward to the summer. Ever since Mingwei ascended the throne, we have been planning to go to Ningguta, but it took us six years to find the time. Rui'er and Tiantian can't wait any longer and are shouting that they want to go to Ningguta to dig wild vegetables to eat." Meiya was so happy at the thought of going to Ningguta that she couldn't stop smiling. "Look at how capable they are."
"The prince and princess are naturally approachable and not arrogant at all. This is due to the good teaching of their madam." Chen Qingxuan said sincerely.
"I don't know anything about poetry, books, etiquette, how can I teach children? I just let them play crazily," Meiya waved her hands and said embarrassedly. She sighed softly with some sadness, "When I was a child, I also wanted to be as carefree as them, but I didn't have the chance."
"Madam, with me and us here, you can live without worries in the future." Chen Qingxuan said softly, looking at the girl in front of him with drooping eyebrows and a look of melancholy.
"Yes," Mei Ya was startled, then smiled, "I just drank two more cups and started talking drunkenly. Mr. Chen, you should get on the sedan chair and go home to feed the guard Da Kong a bowl of sobering soup. I see that he is very drunk and must be feeling very uncomfortable."
