Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

"By the way, Xi'er." Gu Yu thought of what his subordinates reported today, "Shao Hua has returned to Beijing."

"Really."

Qi Qingxi, who was sitting by the bed watching the child rest, stood up abruptly when he heard the news.

Afraid that his voice would wake up the sleeping child, Qi Qingxi took Gu Yu's hand and sat down at the square table on the other side of the room to talk.

Qi Qingxi lowered her voice and asked Gu Yu, her voice couldn't hide her joy: "When did Fourth Brother Shao come back? How is he in good health after wandering at sea for so long? It's just in time for the New Year when the Shao family's sister-in-law is finally here." I can live a good year with peace of mind. By the way, I asked my fourth brother to help me bring something back. I don’t know if he found it. Is it convenient for me to meet him?”

Gu Yu answered Qi Qingxi's series of questions very patiently: "It is said that the merchant ship encountered a big storm when it sailed to Qiongzhou Prefecture, and everyone had to rest in Qiongzhou. Who would have thought that during the few days of rest, some crew members got malaria and died. Many people were infected, and it was delayed for several months before Shao Hua was able to return home."

"I see." Qi Qingxi nodded.

No wonder Shao Hua, who originally said he would return in August and September, has not heard from him until now.

Thinking of the things she asked Shao Hua to bring back, Qi Qingxi suddenly realized that there was another very important thing that she forgot to tell Gu Yu.

The original book mentioned that Dayu would experience a period of natural disasters that lasted for more than ten years. At that time, the displacement of the people and the tyranny of the government would lead to the final collapse of the Dayu Dynasty.

That's why she went to Shao Hua to find some crops that she had seen in the previous era that were easy to grow and had high yields, thinking that they would come in handy in case of natural disasters.

Qi Qingxi told Gu Yu about it, and expressed that she wanted to meet Shao Hua and ask if Shao Hua had found what she wanted.

Gu Yu said: "You are not yet confinement, the most important thing now is to take a good rest, I will handle this matter."

For some unknown reason, Qi Qingxi felt that since she woke up, not only did she not feel any discomfort physically, but she also felt extraordinarily energetic.

However, considering that she was in a coma before and Gu Yu had worried about her for so long, she still decided to be obedient and rest in peace.

Soon it will be the New Year's Eve, and every house will be decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it will be very lively.

Originally, at this time in previous years, Qi Qingxi and Gu Yu would go to her uncle's house to have New Year's Eve dinner together, but at this moment she is still in confinement and it is inconvenient to go out, so she can only have New Year's Eve dinner with Gu Yu at home.

Fortunately, there are two more children in the family this year, which makes the family more lively.

But despite being busy, Aunt Guo still found time to come over in the afternoon.

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the two children are full moon. The twins were born with great difficulty, so the full moon banquet will naturally be lively.

Mrs. Guo had discussed with Qi Qingxi before, and planned to hand over the preparations for the full moon banquet to Ah Nuan and Ah Yue. The two have learned housekeeping from Guo Shi for so long, so they can take this opportunity to let them practice. practice hands.

All the purchases have been prepared, and the guests' posts have also been sent out, and the next step is the arrangement in the mansion.

The Empress Dowager issued an order earlier, asking Guo to bring all the daughters-in-law and girls in the mansion to the palace for her to meet.

Outsiders all said that it was Li Wenkang who was favored by the Holy Majesty, and the female family members of the Li family were summoned by the Empress Dowager.

But Qi Qingxi and the others knew that the Empress Dowager was looking for an opportunity to meet Ah Nuan.

What Guo meant was that they would send the two girls here to work after seeing the Queen Mother come back tomorrow.

Of course Qi Qingxi has no objection.

Thinking that the younger sisters would get up before dawn on the first day of the new year and prepare to enter the palace, she was more or less sympathetic.

As for herself, it happened that she was not yet confinement this time, so she was spared from worship by the Empress Dowager, and Qi Qingxi was able to sleep well in the morning of the first day of the lunar new year.

After a few more days, it was finally the day when a pair of sons and daughters were full moon.

Everyone in Li's residence came to Gu's residence before dawn to help, and it didn't take long for the people from Ningguo Hou's residence to arrive at Gu's residence.

Naturally, the group first went to the inner courtyard to see the two children.

Everyone was very fond of the two children, especially the children's uncles, Ningguo Marquis Chen Xing and Li Wenkang, who hugged their elder sister and the younger brother in their arms and coaxed them non-stop.

Li Wenkang looked at the two children and said cheerfully, "You say it's miraculous, almost every generation of our Li family can produce such a pair of twins."

Qi Qingxi's eyes widened in amazement. She thought that her uncle and aunt were lucky enough to have two cousins ​​who had twins. According to what her uncle said, it was the genetic inheritance of twins in the Li family.

But didn't her maternal grandfather only have two children, her mother and uncle?Moreover, the mother is several years younger than the uncle, and the two are not twins.

Li Wenkang's next words directly answered Qi Qingxi's doubts.

"Qingxi's mother originally had a twin sister, but she died within a few days of her birth."

Li Wenkang suddenly thought of the day when the two children were full moon. He said that it was inauspicious to die young, so he quickly changed the subject.

"My child's aunt." He looked at Mrs. Guo, "Take out the things we prepared for the child."

Mrs. Guo shook her head helplessly, and turned to look at the nanny next to her. The nanny opened the box in her hand to reveal a pair of Hetian jade-carved crane safety locks inside.

Guo took out the pair of jade locks from the box and handed them to Qi Qingxi: "These are the safety locks used by the uncles of the two children, and they were worn until they were ten years old."

Qi Qingxi took the jade lock and couldn't put it down.

The crane safety lock itself has the meaning of peace and longevity, and it is also something that two twin uncles who are literary and martial arts have never left their bodies since childhood. The implication is self-evident.

Qi Qingxi was full of gratitude: "Uncle and aunt are interested, I thank uncle and aunt on behalf of the two children."

Seeing this, Shen Xing and his wife looked at each other, and also took out the gifts they had prepared for the children.

Mrs. Wang even joked: "Our family is no better than our in-laws. It's the first time we are so blessed to have a pair of twins. Your uncle and I even asked our in-laws specifically, so don't send too much."

She handed a box to Qi Qingxi: "Here is a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants. It is said that they were handed down by your great-grandmother. The dragon and phoenix are auspicious. They are perfect for the two children."

Qi Qingxi also took the box with a smile, and thanked his relatives from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, she is very grateful that the two children were born in such a warm family, and she is also grateful that there are no unidentified twins in this dynasty, otherwise she would not dare to imagine the misfortune that either of the two children will encounter.
