Chapter 140
After seeing off Qingchi, Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao arrived at the dining hall. Four dishes of seasonal fruits and four dishes of dried fruits were already placed on the big round table with mahogany carved Ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass patterns. The main dishes were being served one after another. Delicacies from mountains and seas.I don't know if it was such a rich preparation to welcome Jiang Nian back to the mansion, or because of Ning Yuezhao's sudden arrival, he specially added food.

Jiang Qixi had already sat down on the chief seat, and Jiang Xu and Lin Huizhong were sitting on his left, looking a little reserved.Jiang Ye had been studying in the room before, although he found that his eldest brother and sister-in-law seemed a little weird, but since the last incident, he has become much more reticent and doesn't ask too many questions.

Seeing Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao in casual clothes walk in, Jiang Ye stood up directly from his seat, he pointed at Ning Yuezhao tremblingly, "You...you're not..."

"Cough cough! Sit down!" Jiang Qixi coughed twice, "Your second brother and second sister-in-law haven't seen each other before, so why make a fuss?"

Jiang Ye opened his eyes wide, looked at his father, then at Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao, finally moved his lips, didn't say anything, just sat down quietly.

Jiang Qixi pointed to the two seats on the right, "Sit down."

Jiang Nian pulled Ning Yuezhao to sit down together, and he asked Jiang Xu first, "Brother, you just went to see your mother, how is she?"

"My mother is lying in bed. I think she is in a very bad condition, so I will have dinner delivered to her room in a while." Jiang Xu replied.

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian looked at each other tacitly when they heard this sentence.Yu Shi must have known that Ning Yuezhao came to the house, and she might still feel uncomfortable with her illness. Both Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao knew that Yu Shi was still unwilling.

"Sickness goes away like spinning silk, so don't rush it." Jiang Qi Xi said with a pun.

Jiang Nian was about to say something more, but couldn't help coughing a few times, and he quickly reached out to cover his lips.

Ning Yuezhao looked at him sideways, "Why did you cough, did you catch a cold?"

Jiang Nian shook his head, "I'm fine."

Ning Yuezhao held his hand worriedly, and found that the temperature in his palm seemed to be hotter than before.

At this time, the servant girl led Jiang Xu's children in. Lin Huizhong gave birth to Jiang Xu's two sons and two daughters. This was also the capital for her to gain a firm foothold in Jiang's family. Jiang Xu did not take concubines for so many years because he respected his wife.

Jiang Xu's eldest son is 14 years old, the second daughter is 12 years old, the third daughter is [-] years old, and the youngest son is only five years old.

Before they came, they had already been hinted by their servants that there was a distinguished guest at home today.

After entering the dining hall, they all looked at the strange woman beside Jiang Nian with some embarrassment, not knowing what to call her.

Only Jiang Xu's youngest son, because of his young age and innocence, said in a childlike voice: "Huh? Who is this beautiful sister?"

After finishing speaking, he let go of the servant girl's hand, ran to Ning Yuezhao's side on short legs, and looked at her curiously.

When Ning Yuezhao saw this little Yuantuan looking at her with bright black eyes, she immediately thought of her and Jiang Nian's oolong "child".It would be great if it was true, Ning Yuezhao thought regretfully.When looking at Xiaoyuantuan again, the expression on Ning Yuezhao's face softened unconsciously, she hugged him on her lap, gently pinched his little face, "I am your second aunt, What's your name?"

Hearing that Ning Yuezhao claimed to be his second uncle's wife, the expressions of the sensible children changed slightly.

The ignorant Xiaoyuantuan looked at her in surprise, "So you are my second aunt, hello, my name is Jiang Zheyan, but they all call me Ruyi, which is my nickname."

"Ruyi..." Ning Yuezhao repeated the name, "What a good name."

Xiao Ruyi consciously sat on her lap, looking up at her with her small face, "Auntie, you are so pretty, like a fairy, I like you so much!"

Ning Yuezhao was amused by her, "Small mouth is so sweet."

Lin Huizhong coughed lightly, hinting to his son, "Okay, Ruyi, come down quickly, this will affect my second aunt's meal."

Ruyi was a little bit reluctant, and he looked at his mother pitifully, "Then can I sit next to my aunt?"

Lin Huizhong really wanted to say "No", but Ning Yuezhao had already spoken first, "Sister-in-law, this child and I are very close, let him sit next to me."

Now that she spoke, Lin Huizhong could only nod.

Ning Yuezhao moved Xiao Ruyi to the seat next to her, and the other children also took their seats cautiously after calling "Second Aunt".

At this time, the main dishes have been served one after another.

Xiao Ruyi tugged at Ning Yuezhao's sleeve, "Auntie, you and Second Uncle didn't stay at home after you got married, is it because you went traveling around? Second Uncle has been outside for several years. "

Lin Huizhong glanced at the nanny behind Ruyi, and the tight corners of her mouth revealed her displeasure, who was chewing her tongue in front of Ruyi!
The nurse quickly lowered her head.

Ning Yuezhao reached out and touched Ruyi's head, "Uncle and aunt don't live in the mansion because we have other things to do outside."

Ruyi looked at her eagerly, her eyes sparkling, "Is it impossible to do things while living in the mansion? Ruyi wants to see aunt often."

Ning Yuezhao shook her head, "No, but Ruyi is so cute, uncle and aunt will often come back to see you in the future."

Ruyi's small mouth pouted unhappily, "You must be out touring the mountains and rivers."

Ning Yuezhao laughed, "Why do you travel around the mountains and rivers without talking?"

Ruyi pouted and said, "Because I really want to go out and play, and I want to travel all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland like my second uncle."

Ning Yuezhao thought for a while, "Your second uncle has been to quite a few places, but it doesn't count as all."

Ruyi opened her eyes wide, and said with a hint of slyness: "Then I will travel all over the country in the future, and I will go out of Daxing and go to the Western Regions!"

Jiang Xu scowled, "What nonsense are you talking about? After the New Year, you will be enlightened. Study hard and think about it all day long!"

Ruyi shook her head, "I don't want to be like a big brother, studying hard all day long, I want to be like my uncle, and I want to write down all my future insights!"

Ning Yuezhao couldn't help pinching his little face, "You're not a big man, but you have big ambitions. Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. You still have to read this book, otherwise you don't even know the words, why? How about writing down your experience?"

Jiang Qixi looked at his little grandson, and said suddenly, "If you want to travel around, you need to study more, otherwise you don't even know the customs of a place, how can you get there?"

Ruyi thought about it seriously, "Okay, I will study obediently."

Jiang Xu was surprised to find that his father agreed with his youngest son's idea. After thinking about it, when Jiang Nian was going to study abroad, his father never objected. He couldn't help but worry about his youngest son's future.

At this time, Ning Yuezhao took off the dragon pendant around her waist and handed it to Ruyi, "Little guy, if you still want to travel to famous mountains and rivers after you are 20 years old, come to me with this."

This is the jade pendant that the emperor carried with him, and he gave it to a five-year-old doll so easily. Everyone present, except Jiang Nian, changed their colors slightly.

"No, it's too expensive!" Jiang Xu hastily objected.

If he disagreed with his father, he took advantage of the seat and took Long Pei first, "Thank you, auntie, you are so kind!"

Ning Yuezhao patted Ruyi's head lovingly, "It's just a jade pendant, I've hit it off with this child, so it's okay to give it to him."

Jiang Nian put a chopstick of food into his bowl, "Children don't talk so much, they don't talk when they eat, and they don't talk when they sleep."

He was very dissatisfied that this little guy took so much attention from Ning Yuezhao, so he started to teach others a lesson.

Ruyi looked at Jiang Nian aggrievedly, "Second Uncle, you were not like this before!"

Seeing Jiang Nian being jealous of a child, everyone couldn't help laughing.

The originally tense atmosphere at the dinner table became relaxed under Ruyi's gag.

Ning Yuezhao didn't want to break the innocent intimacy between her and Ruyi, and told everyone not to reveal her identity.

In the next few years of Ruyi, she never knew the background of her aunt, only thought that she would support her ideals, and became closer to her.

Later, when Ruyi was 20 years old, she took the dragon pendant into the palace to meet her aunt, and expressed that she still did not change her original intention and wanted to travel.

At that time, Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian had realized their wish of "the sea is clean and the river is clear, and the world is peaceful", but unfortunately they didn't have time to see it with their own eyes.

Ning Yuezhao admired Ruyi's courage and determination, personally held a crown ceremony for him, gave him a traveling crown, and ordered him to watch this peaceful and prosperous age on her behalf.

Since then, Ruyi has started his traveling career and spent almost all his life traveling.He recorded what he saw and heard every day, rain or shine, and sent it back to the imperial capital after a while.After Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian read it, they ordered his travel notes to be compiled into a book and passed on to future generations.

Of course, these are all for later.

At this time, Mrs. Yu, who was listening to the maidservant's report on the situation in the dining hall in the main courtyard, was so angry that he twisted the silk handkerchief in his hand into twists.

"You said they have a large table of people, enjoying themselves?"

The maid said cautiously: "Yes, she also rewarded Young Master Sun with a dragon pendant."

When Yu Shi heard that Ning Yuezhao even supported her grandson to travel around the world in the future, her dislike for her grew even more.

"Master didn't say anything?"

"The master seems to agree with it."

"Is he crazy!"

Yu Shi was so angry that he couldn't help coughing violently again.

"Ma'am, don't be so angry!" The maid hurriedly stepped forward to give her some relief.

"Okay, you go down first!" Yu Shi waved her away.

"Then do you want to report again?" the maid asked carefully.

Yu Shi waved his hand, "No more."

It's annoying to hear it, so it's better not to listen.

After the maid left, only Yu Shi and her confidant nun were left in the room.

Clutching her chest, Yu said in grief and indignation: "Master clearly promised me at the beginning, but now he's back on his word!"

Mammy persuaded: "Ma'am, since the master has already made a decision on this matter, you must not go against him. This old slave sees that the second young master also likes the emperor very much. After all, she has an extraordinary status, and the master can't do anything to her!"

Yu couldn't swallow it all, "No, I'm not willing to ask someone to watch it again!"
