Chapter 241 Found Your Child
Three days later.
King Jing is back.
Go straight to Princess Yuqing’s mansion.
He held a wooden box and handed it to the princess. "Sister, the child was not found, but a coffin was found in the forest. It looks like a baby's coffin. I found this inside..."
King Jing opened the wooden box.
Inside was a faded little doll and a baby's hat.
It can be seen that the two objects were made by the same person, and the stitching is difficult to describe.
He wasn't sure if this was his sister's child.
Because judging by his bone age, he doesn't look like a newborn baby.
It's been at least two or three months.
Moreover, he had heard of this burial method, which was a tree burial popular in some border areas. Even if the people who buried her were not the child's parents, it could be seen that they loved her.
The items inside the small coffin are all made with great care. Although the workmanship is hard to describe, they are all made of extremely precious and soft fabrics.
"Sister, did you make this yourself?"
Princess Yuqing stared intently at the item in the box and shook her head, "No..."
She was not good at needlework, but under the guidance of the maids in the palace, she was not that bad.
Besides, she sewed swaddling clothes for the child, not hats and dolls.
"Take them to Madam Yan and see if she recognizes these objects."
…
"Your Highness, I recognize you... I recognize you..."
Nanny Yan was delighted. "I've seen this stitch before. I saw it in Jiangzhou... on Madam Jiang's young daughter..."
King Jing's eyes lit up.
Miaomiao...
It was Miaomiao, he remembered.
Yes, as a man, he seldom cares about these needlework items, but Nanny Yan is different. She can recognize someone who does needlework herself at a glance.
He handed the box to the old servant, "Shishu, take it to all the maids and servants who have seen Miaomiao and ask if anyone can recognize the stitches."
"Also, please ask the abbot of the White Horse Temple to perform a ritual to pray for the small coffin we brought back and return it to its original place."
Then he turned around and said to the bewildered Princess Yuqing, "Sister, I found your child..."
…
Early spring morning.
Jiangzhou City was shrouded in mist.
There are birds singing and flowers blooming outside the window.
Jiang Miaomiao got up very early.
Today, my eldest and second brothers are on vacation, so the whole family goes out for a spring outing.
It is a tradition at home to ride horses, enjoy the flowers and fly kites in spring.
In summer, you can go boating on the lake, enjoy the lotus and pick lotus flowers.
In autumn, climb high to see the distant view, and enjoy the chrysanthemums and the moon.
Enjoying the snow in winter, brewing tea around the fire...
Jiang Miaomiao put on a pretty little skirt, took the kite and prepared to go to the car to wait for her mother.
I wish I could take a picture.
There was one downside to life in ancient times: there were no communication devices, so we couldn’t take photos or make phone calls.
The transportation is slow, and the letters are also slow.
Just like the military pay that godfather brought back, there is still no news.
I wonder if it's been brought to the capital? Has it been presented to the emperor? Has the case been investigated? Will the emperor pardon my grandfather?
These days, my mother and brothers have been waiting in agony.
Not only them, but even Xiao Miaomiao herself was a little anxious and irritated, with blisters forming at the corners of her mouth.
However, her mother made her some fragrant osmanthus tea, which can clear away heat, detoxify, help digestion and eliminate accumulation, and it is perfect for her.
Jiang Miaomiao prepared to go out with her small cloth bag and small water bottle on her back.
As soon as I went out, I saw the little brother and sister talking outside the door.
Sister Qiao was about to load the small basket into the car when Brother Yanshu stopped her, "Sister Qiao, just let me go with you. I... I don't want to go home..."
"That won't do. Your parents will be unhappy if you don't go home during your day off." Jiang Qiaoer shook her head.
Her mother told her that they were not married yet, so they had to avoid suspicion and could not be together all day.
She doesn't want outsiders to say that she doesn't know etiquette.
Miaomiao also told her that they should maintain an appropriate distance, as distance creates beauty, and they should not stick together all day long.
She felt that what her mother and sister said was right.
But Sun Yanshu was puzzled. Why did his young fiancée always avoid him since their engagement?
However, he really couldn't go home for the next two days. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Qiaomei, my second brother and his wife have returned to Jiangzhou, and they brought Miss Xu San with them..."
"Then you have to go back." Jiang Qiaoer asked puzzledly.
She looked at her brother Yanshu. Shouldn't she be happy that her brother came back and accompany him?
Why does he look so sad?
Sun Yanshu: ...
I really want to knock Qiao'er on the head.
He felt that he had made it clear enough, but why couldn't she hear it?
"Qiaomei, it's... it's my second sister-in-law who wants me to accompany her and Miss Xu San to go boating on the lake..." Sun Yanshu looked at her with burning eyes, hoping that she would react.
Finally, his sister Qiao said with a smile: "Where do you want to go boating? You can go to East Lake. The flowers there are in full bloom."
Sun Yanshu rubbed his forehead.
He couldn't say that his brother and sister-in-law had tried time and again to match him up with Miss Xu San.
I thought to myself, Qiaomei seems very smart in other things, why is she not smart about this?
Jiang Miaomiao hid behind the door and peeked, feeling worried about Sister Qiao.
Sister Mu.
"Brother Yanshu..." A soft and pleasant voice came from behind the carriage.
Sun Yanshu looked over in surprise, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, third lady, why are you here?"
The two Xu sisters walked towards him with smiles on their faces, while the second brother was waiting beside the carriage.
"It seems that my third brother doesn't care about my brother and sister-in-law at all. For the sake of a woman, he didn't even go home during his vacation." Xu was a little unhappy. She looked at Jiang Qiaoer nakedly as she walked.
Sun Yanshu smiled awkwardly, "Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about? It was because Mr. Wang was delayed by something he had to do with me. It has nothing to do with Qiao'er."
Xu raised an eyebrow, "Oh, you're already starting to maintain her before she even gets married!"
Miss Xu San quickly came out to smooth things over and came over, "Brother Yanshu, my sister was just joking. We just came to see you. If you really don't have time, it's okay..."
She asked the maid to hand over the food box, "This is the peach blossom pastry I made myself, Brother Yanshu, please try it."
“No need… no need…” Sun Yanshu waved his hands repeatedly.
Miss Xu San took out a peach blossom pastry from the food box and handed it to him, "Brother Yanshu, just try it. Don't you think my cooking is not good enough?"
The two sisters simply ignored Jiang Qiaoer's presence and pushed her aside.
Jiang Qiaoer looked stunned.
Are these the second sister-in-law and Miss Xu San that Brother Yanshu just mentioned?
How can you be so rude?
She is the daughter of a wealthy family, but she doesn't look that good.
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
Oh my god! Is this Sister Qiao’s love rival?
She is pretty, even prettier than Sister Qiao.
Another good green tea.
What should I do? Sister Qiao is probably no match for her.
Jiang Miaomiao ran over with her short legs, squeezed next to Sun Yanshu, grabbed his sleeve, and tilted her head back and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to eat peach blossom cake."
Sun Yanshu was stunned at first, then he laughed.
He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not.
He took the peach blossom cake from Miss Xu San's hand and put it in the little girl's hand. "Here, Miaomiao, if you like it, eat more. After you finish it, brother-in-law will give you more."
Jiang Miaomiao handed it to Sister Qiao and said to Sun Yanshu, "Brother-in-law, I want more..."
Sun Yanshu looked at Miss Xu San.
Jiang Miaomiao also looked at Miss Xu San.
