64. Chapter 64
It was September and it was obviously cold in the morning. Xie Lanyin skillfully helped her brother put on her clothes and handed them to her sister Xie Lanqiao to hold them. She then wiped the little guy's face with a warm towel. Children don't like to wash their faces when they were dipped in water. Jinbei, who had just been three months old, tilted his head back hard and refused to wash his sister obediently.
Xie Lanyin had long been used to it, so she gently wiped the little guy's head. After wiping, she kissed her brother's forehead, "We have a very fragrant face after washing our Jinbei family. It will be even more fragrant after applying it later!"
Jinbei doesn’t like washing his face, but he likes to ask his sister to scent him. When he hears familiar words, he immediately tilts his head and looks to the side.
Yuzhan smiled and handed over the balm box.
Xie Lanyin dug a finger in his younger brother Baba's eyes and gently rubbed him evenly.
Jiang was watching the three children, but in his ears were what her husband said when he parted last year. He said he would come back to spend the Double Ninth Festival with their mothers. Now that a year has passed, it is about to be Double Ninth Festival again. She has given birth to a son for him, but his father is gone.
Xie Lanyin played with her brother for a while, accidentally caught a glimpse of her mother's dark eyes, and her heart suddenly felt sad.
She also misses her father and elder sister.
Especially my father, he said he was 70% sure he was cured, but what happened? He couldn't let go of his heart without seeing people.
"Madam, breakfast is ready." The little maid outside the door replied softly.
When Jiang came to his senses, she saw her little daughter staring at her in a daze. She smiled, went over and picked up her son, and her mother went to the main hall for dinner together.
Not long after the meal, Li and his daughter-in-law Lin Xuan came over to play with Rongrong in their arms. Rongrong was wearing embroidered red clothes, put them on the kang and climbed around Jinbei, talking to their cousin. Looking at the uncle and nephew who were the same age, everyone finally forgot about their concern for Xie Hui and his daughter.
"Madam, Mr. Yuan has sent a Double Ninth Festival gift, and then came from my uncle. I want to pay my respects to you."
The girls in the room laughed and teased the two children, and Yuzhan reported back and forth outside.
The eyes of Jiang Li and others all fell on Xie Lanyin.
Xie Lanyin's little face turned red and she fled shyly. Knowing that he must be waiting in front of the front yard, Xie Lanyin walked through the corner gate so that he would not meet him. Really, they were looking forward to their father's return, and he was even more anxious. He came first to marry his mother and said that he would please his mother first. When she turned around, she persuaded her father with her mother, and her father would easily agree, but it made her be joked by her relatives from time to time.
Once I went back to Yaoyue Pavilion, I saw about a dozen pots of chrysanthemums in the yard, colorful and bright.
"Girl, this is all just sent by Mr. Yuan." The parrot said with a smile, very satisfied with the prospective son-in-law. He said good things to Xiao Yuan to more than a dozen pots of famous chrysanthemums. "Now everyone in the city wants to stock up on food, but Mr. Yuan is still thinking about giving flowers to the girl to appreciate, which is really thoughtful."
Xie Lanyin hummed softly. He was worried that she would regret it. Can you do it without any care?
But I still felt sweet in my heart, so I came over to enjoy the flowers.
On the side of Jiang's family, Xie Lanqiao and Lin Xuan were left inside to watch the children, and she and Li went to the hall to meet guests.
On the way, Li asked with emotion: "Have you really thought about it? Mr. Yuan is handsome, has a good temperament, and has a good family background, but in terms of identity..."
He is a businessman, so Li certainly would not look down on the businessman, but his niece is an official lady, so marrying a businessman is too low.
Jiang didn't care so much and said with a smile: "The identity is all false, mainly because the two children are destined to be together. After several encounters, Yuan Qi saved Lan Yin. Since Lan Yin likes him so much, let's fulfill their wish."
The only thing she was not very satisfied with was that her prospective son-in-law was a little anxious. Her daughter was only fourteen, and she really couldn't bear to marry so early. However, the words of the youngest daughter also make sense. When she returned to the capital and then married, there must be many people pointing fingers and causing trouble for the young couple for no reason. As for whether it is appropriate to marry the youngest daughter first, the eldest daughter and the second daughter have not yet learned anything, and she can't care. Maybe she will marry the youngest first, and the two sisters will gradually become anxious.
The voices of elders came from outside the door, and Xiao Yuan quickly greeted him and saluted from afar, "Yuan Qi has met his aunt and aunt."
He called Jiang an aunt, but followed Xie Lanyin to call Li an aunt.
Li looked at his sister-in-law meaningfully. This kid is really sweet-mouthed.
Jiang smiled slightly and looked at the prospective son-in-law of Yushu in front of him, without any dissatisfaction.

After pleasing his mother-in-law's favor, Xiao Yuan left the Jiang Mansion with a refreshing spirit. After getting on the carriage, he felt uneasy again when the war in the northwest and Xie Hui and his daughter who had returned.
Faced with this unexpected incident, he was uneasy for a day before he married her. Therefore, he first asked Jiang for marriage. After all, he passed the Ming Road. Unfortunately, Jiang only agreed verbally and insisted on waiting for Xie Hui to come back and hired him again and again. He was too anxious to urge him, so he could not get the engagement document and make the marriage final.
Press and press the eyelids that beating frequently, Xiao Yuan forced himself to think about something else to change his mind.
Only when he returned to his private residence, the secret guard of the royal palace opposite rushed over, "Your Highness, the imperial edict has been received in the capital. It is Eunuch Liu. Now Han Zhao is dragging him on the grounds that he is seriously ill. Come over and receive the imperial edict quickly!"
Eunuch Liu has seen Your Highness, but Han Zhao’s body and voice are similar to Your Highness. If Eunuch Liu sees you, you will definitely be exposed.
Xiao Yuan's expression frightened and quickly rushed to the palace from the secret passage, secretly saying that Han Zhao and others had prepared the Qin King's dress on the other side. Xiao Yuan put it on calmly, and then the disguised eunuch helped to decorate the eunuch, and then he went to receive the order with a pale face.
When Eunuch Liu saw his weak appearance, he shook his head secretly. After announcing the order, he politely said: "The prince went to the battlefield in person and would definitely strengthen my Daliang lord's power. However, the battlefield is dangerous. The prince led his troops to fight for the first time. Be careful."
Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly and took the imperial edict and said, "The father has entrusted a great task, and I will never refuse to die."
Eunuch Liu was also a little sorry for the eldest son who was born one after another, but the palace was the least short of pitiful people. He would not be kind-hearted and after finishing his errands, he would go back to Beijing to report his life.
Xiao Yuan returned to the study without expression.
Ge Jin observed the master's face and said worriedly: "The master led his troops to fight, and it may be inappropriate to use Han Zhao again."
Han Zhao is just a eunuch who is good at imitating human voices, so he doesn't know how to play tactics.
Xiao Yuan looked at the imperial edict in his hand and said after a long time: "Let's leave tomorrow morning."
"Those five girls..." Ge Jin asked tentatively.
Xiao Yuan glanced at him and saw Ge Jin shut up. Then he called his confidant beside him to arrange his errands and then went to his aunt's side. He was busy until dusk and had no intention of eating. As soon as it got dark, he went to the Jiang family in the darkness of the night. Standing in front of her window, he was silent for a moment. Xiao Yuan did not knock on the window, but sneaked in quietly.
Xie Lanyin had just fallen asleep and was awakened in a daze, and she was completely lost in sleep. With the soft light emitted by Ye Mingzhu, Xie Lanyin was not afraid anymore. After pulling the quilt, she asked unexpectedly: "Why are you here?"
Xiao Yuan looked at her bright peach blossom eyes and suddenly didn't know how to speak.
