Chapter 225 A Late Gift (Part [-])
Taishi Xia laughed and stroked the long beard under his jaw.

"Grandfather has always been fair, today's matter is indeed Sister Liang's narrow-mindedness."

Xia Yueliang leaned over to look at the gift list in his hand.

Grand Master Xia said: "The gift is still secondary, but Sister Shuang's handwriting has improved a lot."

The old lady also laughed and said: "I'm going to be a mother soon, so I won't have time to play with words in the future.

Speaking of good handwriting, it has to be our sister Liang, and sister Yan praised her the day before yesterday. "

Grand Master Xia said: "Madam's heart is really biased, she will always be biased toward my little granddaughter.

For a while, they praised her for being beautiful, for a while for her intelligence, and for a while for her handwriting.

I just don't know if such an excellent girl gets married in the future, would you be willing to bear it? "

The old lady rolled her eyes: "Then I will recruit a grandson-in-law. Anyway, the fourth son is not willing to remarry, and the fourth son must have someone to inherit the incense."

Grand Master Xia said helplessly: "You were like this 20 years ago. You were reluctant to marry Fang at any rate. In the end, you got married early."

The Yufang he was talking about was the couple's only daughter, Xia Yufang, and her husband was Wu Siming, the governor of Yicheng mentioned by Mrs. Jing's mother.

Hearing her husband mention her daughter, the old lady's mood suddenly became bad.

"Yufang's child is too shameless, she has been married to the Wu family for so many years, and she has never been back a few times.

This year, I sent someone to write to her early, telling them to go back to Beijing to celebrate the old man's birthday, but they still didn't come back. "

The more the old lady thought about it, the more something was wrong, she grabbed Grand Master Xia's sleeve: "Is something wrong with Siming?"

Grand Master Xia said helplessly: "Ma'am, what do you think the wind is like rain? Siming has resigned from office for more than ten years. The whole family is living on their ancestral property. What can happen?"

He was also a little annoyed at the mention of this matter.

Like Zhang Jiling, Wu Siming is also his favorite student.

Both of them are extremely talented, but the former has a smoother personality and achieved the position of governor of Yicheng at a young age.

He was originally optimistic about Zhang Jiling as his son-in-law, but his daughter caught Wu Siming's eyes and decided to marry him.

The couple couldn't hold back her, so they could only agree.

However, when the spring breeze was in full swing, Wu Siming suddenly resigned from office and took Xia Yufang back to Wu's ancestral house.

In recent years, the husband and wife seldom go out, and they have not been to the capital a few times, which made the old lady very dissatisfied, and always wondered if something happened to Wu Siming.

Xia Yueliang had only met Xia Yufang once, but Wu Siming had never met him at all, so he didn't have a deep impression of them, let alone have any feelings for them.

It's just that after listening to Yan Jingshen's story about the Jing family's past, he was a little bit more cautious about Wu Siming, the uncle who once served as the governor of Yicheng.

When something happened to Qianjing's family more than ten years ago, the governor of Yicheng seemed to be her uncle?

Not allowing her to think too much, the old lady talked about Xia Fanshuang's childbirth again.

"Sister Shuang said in her letter that her pregnancy looks very good, and the baby will be born in mid-March, and it's only a few days away."

Xia Yueliang secretly thought, girls in ancient times were really too precocious.

Xia Fanshuang was only 16 years old when she got married, and she became pregnant not long after she got married.

After less than a year of marriage, she is about to become a mother!
With her frizzy personality, I don't know if she can take care of the child well.

However, what the old lady said continued: "Your second aunt told your grandmother a long time ago that she will leave for Yasu City after the next year.

But this year's weather... I don't know if it will be possible. "

I have to say that although Roche has many faults, she is indeed a good mother.

Going to Yasu City this season is really not as simple as suffering a little bit.

Grand Master Xia said: "A few days ago, I asked Situ Jianzheng of Qin Tianjian, and he said that the weather will improve after the next year, and there should be no more snow."

The old lady laughed and said, "Master doesn't even believe Master Xuanzheng's words, yet he actually believes in those officials in the Qin Tianjian who are doing nothing?"

Grand Master Xia said: "Ma'am, I don't know. Situ Jianzheng's knowledge is indeed not as profound as the master's, but observing the sky is an ancestral skill, and he has always been very accurate."

"That's a good thing, and the second daughter-in-law can suffer less."

Xia Yueliang was a little moved.

She has lived in the capital for a year and a half, and she hasn't left for half a step. She is really tired.

Yasu City is not far from Shuo City, if she can go with Luo Shi, she can go to Shuo City by the way to find out about the old fox's romantic affairs.

And that Gu Yannan, she always felt that he was not a law-abiding person.

It is a good opportunity for Xia Fanshuang to have a baby. If he goes to Yasu City, he will definitely cause big troubles.

Li Yuanyu is too honest and takes Xia Fanshuang too seriously, how could he be Gu Yannan's opponent?
Although she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to deal with Gu Yannan, it was better than worrying thousands of miles away.

But she is only a 14-year-old girl, how can she persuade her elders to agree to her going to Yasu City?

A few days later, Xia Huaixun suddenly called her daughter to Fengquan Garden.

"What has Yue'er been up to lately?"

Xia Yueliang said: "It's almost moldy from being idle, but Dad seems to be very busy recently, and he hasn't seen anyone for several days."

Xia Huaixun sighed: "That's right, the yamen is sealed, and I still run to the palace all day as my father."

Xia Yueliang asked curiously, "Does Your Majesty have any plans?"

"I don't know what His Majesty smoked recently..."

He originally wanted to say what Feng Huang was doing, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he changed his words and said: "I don't know what happened to Your Majesty recently, but suddenly he became close to Empress Xiao Su.

In the past, except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, he never went to Queen Xiao Su's place at all.

In the last ten days, eight of them have been resting in Empress Xiaosu's palace, causing panic in the palace. "

Xia Yueliang sneered and said, "It's a good thing that the emperor and the empress are close, why is daddy even worried about such a thing?"

Xia Huaixun was also amused.

"It doesn't matter which woman he likes to get close to as a father, but Empress Xiao Su's birthday is on February [-]th.

Your Majesty didn't care about this day at all before, but this year he wants to make a big deal. Do you think it's troublesome? "

Xia Yueliang still didn't understand.

"Father is neither an official of the Ministry of Rites nor in charge of banquets in the palace, why is he so worried?"

Xia Huaixun said: "Your Majesty wants to invite people from the royal families of the surrounding countries to come to the capital of Fengguo to celebrate the birthday of Empress Xiaosu. Yuguo and Yeguo have agreed to send special envoys."

Xia Yueliang's eyelids trembled.

That fellow Gu Yannan must be the special envoy of the State of Yu, right?
"Daddy, people from Yu country are coming too?"

Now it was Xia Huaixun's turn to not understand what his daughter was thinking.

"The people from Yu Kingdom come here as soon as they come, Yue'er cares about them?"

Xia Yueliang smiled dryly: "I have nothing to care about, I just feel that the relationship between Yu State and Feng State is not good, why would His Majesty invite them?"

Xia Huaixun said: "Father wants to talk about the Kingdom of Ye, and the special envoy they sent this time is Prince Ye Junhui."
