Ming Man was overjoyed. "I've heard Father mention you a long time ago. He even said you were a remarkable woman. Now that I've met you today, it's just as Father said. We're truly destined to be together!"
Jiang Tuantuan was full of pride. She didn't expect that the emperor had such good vision.
As they walked out, they passed by the flower bed again. Jiang Tuantuan really wanted to pick some grass from it. "Mingman, I really like a grass in your flower bed. Can you let me pick one? I only want some stems and leaves. I won't pull it up by the roots."
Mingman glanced at the flower bed. The flowers and plants in it were not rare varieties. She didn't know why she wanted this.
"If you like flowers and plants, I'll give you some expensive and beautiful ones in a few days. The flowers in this flower bed are quite ordinary."
Jiang Tuantuan said, "When it comes to flowers, plants, and animals, I prefer those I haven't seen before."
It was the first time Mingman had seen someone have this hobby, but she still agreed, "You can pick whatever you want, even pulling up the roots is fine."
Jiang Tuantuan followed the elf's instructions and walked to the flower bed, then reached out and took one out.
Ming Man was even more surprised when she saw that she had picked only this one weed. "I have other weeds in my garden. Do you want to pick some more?"
Jiang Tuantuan was perfectly happy with what she said. She had been waiting for this very day. "Mingman, I love you so much."
After saying that, he ran around the whole garden to pick weeds. If there were many weeds, he pulled up the whole thing. If there were few, he only took some stems and leaves. After picking for more than half an hour, he finally finished picking all the weeds in the garden. Jiang Tuantuan had a bunch of weeds in his arms.
Mingman asked Zhenzhu to bring a small bamboo basket to Jiang Tuantuan and asked someone to send it home for her.
"Don't bother. These grasses are very light. I can carry them myself. The banquet in the front hall should be over by now. When I see my husband, I can ask him to carry them."
Seeing her say this, Mingman nodded in agreement.
When Jiang Tuantuan was about to reach the front hall, the banquet had just ended. The ministers who had a good relationship with him made an appointment to go drinking together in the evening. There were also ministers who wanted to establish a relationship with Li Jingchen, so they came to invite him.
In the end, Li Jingchen rejected them all, saying that he had to take care of his son and really couldn't go out.
This was the first time the ministers were rejected with such a reason. They didn't know what to say and just shook their heads and gave up.
Although Lieutenant General Li transformed himself from an ordinary citizen to the deputy general of the current dynasty in just two years, surpassing others who had taken ten years, his family life seemed to be very miserable. Those who were originally jealous of Li Jingchen's rapid promotion are now much more balanced.
Although I was promoted slowly, at least I was the boss at home. I could go out for drinks whenever I wanted and I didn't have to worry about my wife's mood.
Li Jingchen didn't know what they were thinking, and he was too lazy to figure out what he was thinking. He just wanted to see Jiang Tuantuan as soon as possible, fearing that she would be bullied in the palace. However, the inner courtyard of the palace did not allow outsiders to enter, so he had to wait here.
Yubao hadn't seen his mother for the whole afternoon and was in an unfamiliar environment. Even though he was brave, he still felt a little wronged. He pouted his little mouth and was about to cry.
"Yubao, mother is here, are you going to be good today?"
Yubao's tears were about to flow, but they were held back. He grinned and laughed, shouting "Ahh, Mom!"
Jiang Tuantuan put the basket on the ground, hugged Yubao, and then started to cuddle with him.
Li Jingchen looked at the basket of grass on the ground and whispered, "Are you going to give it to your friend in the underworld?"
When Jiang Tuantuan heard the word "the underworld", he felt a chill run down his spine. "It's not the underworld, it's called another world!"
"Okay, okay, in this other world, did you have enough for lunch today? Did anyone bully you? Are you cold?"
"I'm fine, who would bully me, huh."
Li Jingchen discovered that ever since Jiang Tuantuan gave birth to Yubao, her temper had become more and more arrogant. When she was happy, she would smile at him, and when she was unhappy, she would stay alone. However, he also liked this kind of arrogant attitude.
After holding Yubao for a while, Jiang Tuantuan felt tired, so she put Yubao down, took Yubao's hand, and let him walk by himself.
Yubao felt quite excited when he walked a few steps at first, but after walking for a while, he became too tired to move anymore and just stopped where he was.
"Mom, I'm tired, hug me."
When Li Jingchen saw that he was tired, he freed up one hand to hold Yubao, but Jiang Tuantuan glared at him, so he had to retract his hand.
Jiang Tuantuan squatted down and looked into Yubao's eyes and said, "You've grown up and become a little man. You have to walk on your own and not complain about being tired at the slightest hardship. Look at mommy and daddy, aren't they both walking on their own? Don't we both want to hold them?"
Yubao nodded.
"Mother loves the strong Yubao the most. If you can hold on for a few more steps, we can take the carriage. I'll make you something delicious when we get home, okay?"
Yubao hugged Jiang Tuantuan's neck, rubbed it, and whispered in his ear, "Okay, Yubao will walk by himself."
Jiang Tuantuan took Yubao's hand again and walked out.
Li Jingchen had to admit that when it came to educating children, he had to listen to his wife.
After arriving home, Jiang Tuantuan asked the nanny to cook something that Yubao liked for him. Yubao then sat on a small stool holding a bowl, waiting for the nanny to feed him.
The nanny's heart almost melted. It was the first time she saw such a cute and well-behaved child.
Because the New Year was coming, Jiang Tuantuan prepared to give them some red envelopes. He planned to give each person 500 coins, so he went to the street and bought a few purses, including a red purse, and put 500 coins in each purse. He put one or two taels of silver in the red purse. It felt heavy when he picked it up, and the sound of the copper coins when he shook it was really nice. He also wrote a short letter and sent it together.
Two days later, the red envelope arrived in Mai Wu's hands. He opened the letter first. The letter was full of New Year's greetings and encouragement for him to do well.
After counting the purses, I found that each person had one. The letter mentioned that the red purse was Mai Wu's, which contained one tael of silver, and the rest contained five hundred coins.
When he opened it, he found that it was indeed one or two taels of silver. This was the first time that Mai Wu was looking forward to the New Year so much. He had heard in the past that when a farmhand arrived at the New Year, if the boss was in a good mood, he might give him a red envelope, but the amount given was very little, only a dozen cents. But this time he actually received one or two taels of silver, which was equivalent to half a month's salary.
I can't help but sigh that the boss is so rich, the boss is so nice, long live the boss.
After receiving the purses, Mai Gu, Mai Feng and Mai Deng happily ran to the restaurant and ordered a large table of dishes. Er Lai Zi directly bought a new set of clothes for Da Fang.
Because the four big heads are young, they don't do as much work as adults. Moreover, they need to be taught many things, including farming, so they don't have any monthly salary. They are only provided with food. But since it is the New Year, Mai Wu feels that he should give them some rewards.
