Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 27 Chang'an Road

Jiang's father thanked him repeatedly, but Jiang Feng was a little surprised. What was going on?

Father Jiang was furious and scolded him with a bunch of words such as "naughty" and "treasonous", spitting in his face. Old Mrs. Jiang added fuel to the fire and said a lot of nonsense.

Jiang's father had a clear goal, which was to blame Jiang Feng for being ignorant and ungrateful, and asked her to admit her mistake to the prince and regain his favor.

The words of Mrs. Jiang were full of contradictions, which made Jiang Feng confused. She did not expect her and Li Longye to "reconcile" like her father did, but she was reluctant to give up the "fat meat" and the cooked "duck" that were in her mouth. In the end, she finally understood what the old lady meant: God was blind, and gave such a great blessing to Jiang Feng, but it was a pity that her beautiful Fei'er did not have the chance.

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Feng sneered in his heart, kneeling on the ground without making any excuses or admitting his mistakes. Jiang's father was afraid of the consequences, so he stopped the old lady from being punished, and once again threw Jiang Feng into the ancestral hall to reflect on himself.

Then the family waited anxiously for Li Longye's invitation.

But the post was not sent to the Jiang family, but to the eldest brother-in-law's family. Jiang's father was very upset, not knowing whether Li Longye abandoned Jiang Feng or respected Jiang Feng.

Jiang Lan didn't know so many things had happened in between, so she wanted to take Fei and Feng with her. Jiang Feng naturally refused, but Jiang Fei went with her.

In the evening, Jiang Lan sent Jiang Fei back. Jiang Fei was in high spirits. Jiang Lan was a little tired with her pregnant belly. She held her waist and took Jiang Feng to her place to stay for a few days.

Jiang Feng was happy to obey, and he carried Jiang Lan out intimately.

The mattress in the carriage was thick and very soft. Seeing that Jiang Lan was working hard, Jiang Feng put the pillow he was leaning on behind Jiang Lan's waist, then gently tapped Jiang Lan's legs and said softly, "Sister, your period is getting worse. You should avoid moving around like this. Your legs are swollen."

Jiang Lan spent the whole day with Jiang Fei, but Jiang Fei didn't show the slightest sympathy towards her pregnant sister. Jiang Fei was only concerned with showing off and getting the upper hand.

Logically speaking, she and Jiang Fei were born of the same mother, but she always felt closer to Jiang Feng. She felt more comfortable with Jiang Feng's massage, and adjusted her crooked posture, saying, "Among all the women in Liangzhou, you are the only one who dares not to accept the invitation from the princess."

Jiang Feng paused for a moment and said, "Second sister told you everything?"

"Not only her, the princess also talked to me for quite a while today, and she kept asking about you."

Jiang Feng lowered his head and said nothing, just gently pinching his legs. Jiang Lan sighed and said, "When the banquet was almost over, the Prince of Zhongshan led the Prince of Linzi back to the palace, and the princess went out. But after a while, she sent someone to call Ah Fei over to report. I was worried, so I asked Dong Ju to go with her. She didn't hear what was said from a distance, but the Prince of Zhongshan looked unhappy, while the Prince of Linzi was in a good mood."

Jiang Feng's heart was pounding. Li Longji also came to Liangzhou? ! He was not in Chang'an to be his prince. Could he still have the elegance to stroll around now? With a lawsuit on her mind, she whispered, "Didn't the second sister say anything?"

Jiang Lan took Jiang Feng's hand and said, "A Fei has always been careless. I can't tell what she is thinking now."

Then he said earnestly: "What do you mean to the prince? I think the prince treats you..."

Just as she was about to say something else, Jiang Feng's tears as big as beans dripped onto her hand. Jiang Lan was surprised, and when she looked up, she saw that the little girl was already in tears.

"Sister, if what I mean is not to marry Li Longye, is that okay?"

Jiang Lan was stunned. Yes! How important is Jiang Feng's feelings? If Li Longye wanted her, who could say "no"? Should she sacrifice her family's future to fight against this not-so-bad marriage?

Jiang Feng lay on Jiang Lan's legs and cried. Jiang Lan gently stroked the little girl's soft and thick long hair, and tears fell unconsciously.

When the carriage arrived at Liu's house, when Liu's brother-in-law went out to pick them up, he found that his wife and sister-in-law both had red eyes.

The ten days spent at Liu's house were too comfortable. Without Old Lady Jiang, Jiang Fei, or Li Longye, she enjoyed herself every day. She and Yuzhi built a huge swing in the back garden. When they swung to the highest point, they could see the houses outside the wall. Yuzhi was afraid at first, but Jiang Feng swung higher and higher, and she became itchy. The two girls laughed and fought for it. When they couldn't agree, they swung together, letting Dongju push them from behind.

Brother-in-law Liu helped Jiang Lan to the back garden and saw two chubby little girls climbing on the swings and swinging higher and higher. His usually delicate and weak sister-in-law kept shouting to Dongju, "Dongju, if you don't work harder, there will be no fried chicken to eat in the evening!"

It would have been fine if it wasn't just Yuzhi, but Jiang Feng, with a magical blush on his cheeks, his big round eyes were filled with brilliance, and a smile that rippled on his face, was full of appeal and... temptation.

No wonder that romantic prince was so deeply in love! But according to my wife, these two people seemed to have a conflict. No wonder someone's face was so dark.

Jiang Lan was still in shock. She held her belly and pulled the two people off the swing. Yuzhi stuck out her tongue and ran away. Jiang Feng cursed Yuzhi in his heart for being disloyal, but he was not polite at all when talking to his sister.

Jiang Lan said that girls should be chaste and it was inappropriate to make noise, Jiang Feng said innocently that we were just swinging quietly; Jiang Lan said it was not safe, Jiang Feng turned around and said with a smile, "Sister, look, it's fine now"; Jiang Lan said angrily that she would report to her father for punishment tomorrow, and she stuck to him like a sticky candy, saying aggrievedly that her sister didn't love her anymore because she had a brother-in-law and a little nephew; Jiang Lan pretended to ask someone to dismantle the swing, but Jiang Feng didn't stop her, but just said in a flattering way that she made her sister angry, so she took it down quickly.

Jiang Lan couldn't bear to tear it down for a moment. At this time, brother-in-law Liu, who was watching the show, finally came out to make way. She was full of tenderness towards her plump wife: "Little girl likes to play, don't get angry. The swing was hard to build, so just keep it. At most, you can let a steady maid watch it next time. But you, your body is getting heavier, you have to pay more attention to your health."

Jiang Feng gave his brother-in-law Liu a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that this young man is teachable.

The swing was finally left there, but its excitement was greatly reduced and the two girls lost interest.

Jiang Lan is getting heavier. Although Jiang Feng lacks parenting experience, he has rich experience in postpartum care. Her best friend who married and had children early has a huge fortune waiting for the next generation to inherit, so she worked hard to give birth to two children in three years. In addition to the loss of body shape, she also encountered the problem of sexual disharmony between husband and wife. The young couple has high requirements for the quality of life, and her best friend has worked hard for this. Jiang Feng spent a few days making an ancient pelvic floor muscle trainer based on his memory, but he needed more days to think about how to recommend it to Jiang Lan. Ancient girls really can't understand too much!

Jiang Feng took the strange-shaped object, found Jiang Lan in a serious manner, and told her: When Qiu Shan was treating patients, the genius doctor Sun Ji had collected countless medical books, one of which was "Wan Jin Fang" which had been passed down for three generations. The book had many records about women's postpartum recovery. It said that this thing can not only help women quickly regain their figure, but also help to continue their offspring!

If you have a good sex life, you will naturally have more offspring. The logic is perfect!

Jiang Lan didn't think much about it, she just asked doubtfully: "Are you sure it's not the Thousand Gold Prescription?"

Jiang Feng patted his chest and guaranteed that it was genuine. At the end he muttered: The descendants of the King of Medicine are not honest. They used the "Thousand Gold Prescription" to fool the world, but kept the "Ten Thousand Gold Prescription" in the bottom of the box.

Then he smiled and said, "Sister, just give it a try. When the time comes, your nephews and nieces will come and report to you, and then you will know that the book is worth a million dollars."

Jiang Lan said angrily, "You're talking nonsense again."

Jiang Feng struck while the iron was hot and taught Zheng Duoyan a few yoga moves and a set of weight loss exercises. Jiang Lan couldn't do them because of her big belly, and Yuzhi's limbs were not coordinated. Only Dongju learned quickly.

The girls in the room were making a lot of noise, and before they knew it, a few days had passed.

That morning, the Jiang family sent a carriage, and only when they returned to the Jiang family did they know that the eldest aunt had come.

Jiang's father's generation was not very prosperous, with only three siblings, Jiang Jingxiu, Jiang Jingyuan and Jiang Jingfang. My eldest aunt Jiang Jingyuan married a small landlord in Weiwu County. After twenty years of hard work, the small landlord became a big landlord. My eldest aunt also acted like a landlord's wife who said, "My family is rich, so I have the final say."

The second aunt married the magistrate of Lin County, and lived a tight life, often needing help from her sister and brother. Maybe because of the bad times, she was mean and was very unfriendly to Jiang Feng and her daughter.

The whole family was afraid of this strict and wealthy aunt, and even Mrs. Jiang did not dare to make trouble. Only Jiang Feng laughed and laughed without restraint, which made her like him.

Jiang Feng cheered and hugged the middle-aged woman's arm, saying affectionately: "Aunt is finally here."

Aunt Jiang laughed and said, "Little monkey! You are still not serious. Although you can't learn to be as demure and gentle as A-lan, your second sister should at least be knowledgeable and polite! You are running around like a child all day long, what a disgrace!"

Jiang Feng didn't care and just shook his aunt's arm and said coquettishly: "Aunt is partial! She only loves my eldest and second sisters, so naturally I am not right at all. Outsiders also keep saying that I am a lady!"

Jiang Fei felt uncomfortable after listening to this. He felt that he was half a head shorter than Jiang Lan. He just curled his lips and said nothing.

The aunt smiled even more and touched Jiang Feng's forehead and said, "Good! Good! You are a lady! When you go to Chang'an with me, don't lose your ladylike manners."

Jiang Feng let go of his aunt's arm and asked in surprise, "Are we going to Chang'an? Does this mean that my brother's marriage is settled?"

That world metropolis finally opened its arms to Jiang Feng!

The aunt took a sip of tea and said, "Your mother wrote to say that Azuo's marriage is almost settled and the house has been bought. Your brother has just been appointed as an official and it is time for him to make progress. It is not good for him to worry about household affairs. Your mother has to clean up the house and prepare for the wedding all by herself, so she is quite constrained. Your father came to me and asked me to help with some of the arrangements..."

Jiang Feng clapped his hands and said flatteringly: "Aunt, you are a female Zhuge Liang. If you take action, everything will be settled!"

Aunt Jiang smiled and shook her head helplessly.

The most important thing for this trip to Chang'an was the issue of people. Jiang Feng naturally had to go with him. First, Jiang's mother wrote a letter with firm words, insisting that Jiang Feng be taken with her. Second, after the conflict with Li Longye that day, Jiang's father was still timid and his attitude had softened.

Jiang Fei hesitated and listed a lot of reasons for staying: taking care of his grandmother, serving his father, assisting in the household management... Jiang's father agreed.

Finally, it was agreed that, in addition to Old Lady Jiang, Father Jiang, Jiang You and Jiang Fei, only Aunt Yun, Nanny Sun and two male and female servants would remain. Nanny Sun was the most trusted confidant of Mother Jiang and the most important servant in the Jiang Mansion, so it was safe for her to stay at home.

My aunt brought my second cousin Bai Xingjian with her. Unlike the other four honest sons of the landlord, my second cousin Xingjian was the most sophisticated and worldly-wise. It was always more reassuring to have a family member with you when you were out on business. They also brought four maids and four servants. There were three masters and thirteen servants in their group, and it was a large enough team.

The second thing was material things. In fact, there was nothing to bring except silver, as everything in the new house had to be bought from scratch. Jiang Feng watched his aunt sew a thick stack of banknotes into her underwear and asked in surprise, "Is this the gift money? This... is too much!"

The aunt smiled and said, "Silly girl! What do you know? A Zuo wants to buy a house and marry a girl from a wealthy family. Your father's salary is only that much. Even if your mother is frugal, after all, a good housewife cannot cook without rice. How can we let you be troubled by these yellow and white things? Although our family is not rich, we can still help you with this little money!"

After finishing the last stitch, she added, "When my eldest nephew becomes an official, I, his aunt, will also enjoy the glory!"

Jiang Feng thought about it and it was true. Father Jiang and his sister, one rich and the other powerful, complemented each other perfectly. They were indeed a family that shared weal and woe.

Jiang Feng made pajamas for Jiang's mother, long boots for Jiang Zuo, and painted a pair of folding fans for her new sister-in-law, and she packed everything up. But when she was about to pack the wooden belly doll, she was stopped by her aunt.

Jiang Feng naturally refused, but he couldn't tell Aunt Jiang that the imperial seal of the Tang Dynasty was placed inside!

After packing up slowly for a few days in the heat, the group set off.

When they were about to reach the city gate, they found that the road was closed and martial law was in place. Jiang's father sent someone to inquire and found out that the Prince of Linzi and the Prince of Zhongshan were sending their two princesses back to Chang'an, so all the main roads were closed and only a small road was opened for pedestrians to enter and exit.

Father Jiang glared at Jiang Feng sadly, angry at him for not fighting back!

The river breeze lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, revealing a human wall formed by soldiers. On the other side of the wall, Li Zan was leading the yellow horse Piu, and the horse's owner was standing with his hands behind his back. Side by side was the dignified princess. What a loving couple!

Jiang Feng watched intently. He watched Li Longye express his deep affection and hold the princess' hand to pour out his heart; he watched him carefully arrange the shawl for his wife; he watched him smilingly holding the princess' arm as they walked towards the future emperor.

Jiang Feng had an inexplicable feeling in her heart, feeling empty. At this moment, she no longer had the passion to admire the great emperor Li Longji. She closed the curtain in dismay and leaned against the small table without saying a word.

As soon as the carriage left Yumen Pass, we saw a man and a horse standing outside the Ten-Li Pavilion.
