At the end of September, it was already cold in the capital.

Ji Heng has not only put on thick winter clothes, but even wrapped light fur. Although he hasn't suffered any serious physical problems in recent years, and he hasn't turned into a woman as he feared, but his chills The disease is more serious than before.

In the carriage entering the city from the pier, Mrs. Xu held Ji Heng's hand, rubbed and rubbed, rubbed and rubbed again, and said very distressed, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Ji Heng smiled at her and said, "Mom, I'm fine. I don't feel cold hands."

Mrs. Xu said, "It's no wonder it's not cold. It's just on the pier. You don't want to blow the wind, but you don't listen. You want to check things. It's just a dish. If it's broken, you just send it to the emperor, but you If you are so caring, you will freeze yourself now, if you are not sick, it will be fine, if you are sick, you see I will let you go out."

Although Xu's words were full of accusations, his tone was helpless and distressed. Ji Heng had no choice but to beg for forgiveness, "I know, okay, mother, don't talk about this."

Ji Heng and Mrs. Xu arrived at the pier in the morning, but it took some time to disembark. The two brought a lot of things back to Beijing, and the mistress of the Xu family, Mrs. Qin, went to Beijing with her. She had more things, so it cost even more. The time was reserved for the servants to unload and load the car, and the master left first. It was also noon before entering the city from the pier.

Mrs. Xu gave Ji Heng the candy made of donkey-hide gelatin paste for nourishing blood. Ji Heng didn't like eating this, so Mrs. Xu started talking about him again, "The bigger you are, the more disobedient you are, and you are picky, and this is not good. It tastes bitter, so why don’t you eat it. Doctors say that you are short of qi and blood, and you need to replenish qi and blood. This is the best donkey-hide gelatin, with a lot of medicinal materials added. It is specially made for you, so you have to be picky.”

Xu's age is not considered old, but she is only 40 years old. Because of the benefits of maintenance, she still has a charm, but Ji Heng saw that she is already a mother-in-law, talking two or three times more than when she was young.

Ji Heng frowned and said, "Mother, I can't eat too much of this, I will become a woman by then."

Mrs. Xu scolded him lightly, "Nonsense. The doctor told you not to eat those foods that are great for nourishing yang. If you eat them, you will get nosebleeds. It is because of your nosebleeds that you become deficient in qi and blood. You should eat warming tonics." Things, I won't listen to your nonsense anymore, you are the one who wants to break your own body."

Ji Heng looked at her helplessly, so he had no choice but to eat the donkey-hide gelatin ointment Xu gave him.

So all the way into the capital, Qin was sitting in another carriage. She was already 50 years old, and there were several grandchildren in her family, but they were all born to concubines. Her biological son Xu Qilang was also eighteen or nineteen years old. But because he was spoiled, he told him several relatives, but he was unwilling. Now that he was admitted to Juren, the Xu family was very happy. The Qin family also handed over the Yangzhou house to others. She let go of everything, and didn't even care that she wasn't used to the weather in the north. She just wanted to come to the capital to take care of her son, and she wanted to tell him a good relationship, so that he could marry and have children quickly, so that she could hug her grandson.

Those who followed the Qin family were the maids, mothers-in-law and stewards who had been serving him all the time. She also brought a daughter with her, that is, Xu Xiaoxin, the eleventh mother. She was not married, and her fiancé accidentally fell into the water while she was having sex with prostitutes on the boat. Although she was rescued in time, she suffered from cold and lung disease, and later passed away.

So Xu Xiaoxin had no choice but to stay in her boudoir, and because it was rumored in Yangzhou that she had killed her fiancé, and she was really beautiful, like a witch who was a disaster for the country, not like a girl from a good family, so no one came to kiss her.

Xu Xiaoxin is soft-tempered, caring and caring. After her mother passed away, she was raised by his wife, Qin Shi, so Qin Shi came to the capital, and he probably wanted to live here, so he brought her with him. In the capital, look after her door relatives.

Because the emperor wrote a letter urging Ji Heng to go to Beijing as soon as possible, the two families left in a hurry. They only sent some things to Beijing before, and many things went with their boat.

Mrs. Qin had asked someone to tidy up Xu's house in the capital, but she still didn't go directly to her own house in a carriage, but followed Mrs. Xu to Ji's mansion, because her son, whom she hadn't seen for many years, was still in Ji's mansion.

Mrs. Qin missed her son very much. She wanted to go to Beijing to see her son many times. Every time she wanted to leave, either something happened at home or she was sick. Not getting stuck in Yangzhou.

The carriage arrived at Little Magpie Alley, the Jifu is still the same Jifu, but it has been repaired and repainted a while ago. Although it does not have the style of a duke's house, it is also white walls and black tiles. Wealthy.

It was the fourth aunt who brought people to pick up Mrs. Xu at the pier. The fifth aunt passed away two years ago because of her constant illness. Only the third aunt and sixth aunt were left in the family.

After all, Mrs. Xu is the head of the house, and the sixth aunt has grown more discerning as she grows older in recent years, so she and the third aunt waited in the courtyard of the sedan chair to welcome her, next to the fifth sister and the upright brother Ying Son.

The carriage stopped in the carriage courtyard, Ji Heng got out of the carriage first, then turned around and helped Mrs. Xu get off the carriage.

The third aunt, the sixth aunt, the fifth sister, brother Ying, and a group of servants all looked at Ji Heng, and couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

Ji Heng has grown a lot taller, only a little shorter than the tall Xu Qilang who has been under their noses all the time. He is thin, wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt and a royal blue cloak. The filigree purple gold crown on the top is shining in the sun, the fair skin is as delicate as white porcelain, the long eyebrows are drawn into the temples, a pair of peach blossom eyes are as dark as a pool of deep autumn water, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the color of the well-shaped lips is slightly lighter light.

This is a face that is easy to stare at. Although this face still bears the traces of leaving three years ago, it is very different from before because of its calmer and more remote temperament.

Brother Ying was the first to react. He took a step forward, stared at Ji Heng with burning eyes, and called out, "Brother?"

Ji Heng glanced back at him and smiled at him, "Brother Ying has grown so big!"

Brother Ying has indeed grown up. He is already a little taller at the age of six or seven, with baby fat, white and tender, like a fairy boy. Because Mr. Ji pays great attention to education, he started to learn to read at the age of three or four. Enlightened at the age of five, the master is very strict. Now he has the appearance of a little adult who can stand up and sit down.

Ji Heng went over and hugged Brother Ying, Brother Ying blushed slightly, but still reached out and hugged Ji Heng's neck.

Third Concubine and the others all came forward to salute Mrs. Xu and Ji Heng. A carriage came in behind, and Mrs. Qin got out of the carriage with Miss Eleven. Mrs. Eleven and Ji Heng looked alike when they were young, When they grow up, they are not as similar as when they were young, but if you don't look carefully, you still feel that the two are alike, and the two are the same age, which makes people feel like twins.

It's just that Ji Heng's temperament is cold and elegant, and his face is also leisurely and elegant. Eleventh Lady is gentle in elegance, but her face is warm and gorgeous. Ji Heng is more attractive, but Eleventh Lady is definitely more attractive in the first place. human eyeball.

So the people in the yard were attracted by Miss Eleven again. After everyone greeted each other, Third Concubine praised Miss Eleven's beauty. Qin was always happy to bring this concubine, and said with a smile, " Little Eleven looks good, I am happy to look at it by my side, and I am also happy to be praised by others when I take it out."

The third aunt was Xu's dowry back then, so she naturally knew Qin, the head of the family at that time, and the sixth aunt was the Xu family's prostitute. Not unfamiliar either.

When everyone was about to go to the backyard, Qin asked, "Where is Qilang, why is he not here?"

The fifth sister said, "Auntie, my cousin thought you were going to arrive a few days ago. The day before yesterday and the day before yesterday I went to wait on the pier. I never thought that I hadn't received you all the time. When you arrived today, he went out with his father. Yes. But I'm sure I'll be back soon."

Qin looked around and was a little disappointed.

Ji Heng also missed Xu Qilang very much, but was also a little disappointed.

Brother Ying, who was being held by him, was very obedient, obediently let him hold him, and looked at him with dark eyes. He was always courageous, but now he looked a little shy.

The yard where Mrs. Xu lives has been completely tidied up.

The things that were sent back earlier were also tidied up. When Mrs. Xu and the others entered the house, they were groomed by the maids and women.

Qin Shi also took the eleventh lady to Xu Qilang's house to clean up. Qin Shi looked at the layout and things in his son's living room, and was happy and sad at the same time. Naturally, he hadn't seen him for so many years, and he would see him soon. Sorrow also hasn't seen him for so many years, and he is afraid that his son will not kiss him.

Because Mrs. Xu had to clean up and take care of herself, she dismissed San Yiniang and the others, saying that it would be good for them to have dinner together at night, but now that there is chaos everywhere, they are not allowed to come here.

Brother Ying reluctantly followed his mother away.

Because of the fifth aunt's death, the third and fourth sisters got married one after another, and Mr. Ji thought that the sixth aunt was not a mother who could raise good children, so he let the sixth aunt move to the west courtyard to live in the same courtyard with the third aunt. And let Brother Ying occupy the East Garden by himself, and let the nanny and maids take care of him.

And because Mr. Ji likes this son very much, and often goes to the East Garden to accompany him, Brother Ying is not very reluctant to part with his mother.

Ji Heng sat in the bathtub and washed his head and bathed well. When he was sitting on the couch with wet hair and letting the little girl Lianzi wipe his hair, the lychee that had grown into a big girl quickly entered the room. Come on, said, "Eldest young master, hurry up and meet him, the emperor is here!"

Ji Heng was a little surprised, and his heart skipped a beat, but in Li Zhi's eyes, Ji Heng just trembled slightly with his long eyelashes and dark eyes, as if autumn water was falling into a pool, causing shallow ripples .

Ji Heng only had time for Lianzi to comb his hair a little bit, it was only half dry, and he was ready to run out to pick him up. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not have the emperor's reserve at all, and he had already entered the room.

The two bumped into each other at the door, and when Ji Heng saw the emperor, he didn't think too much, and was about to kneel down to salute, but Lianzi had already knelt down.

The emperor was taken aback when he saw Ji Heng, his eyes widened in surprise and ecstasy, who had always been indifferent to emotions, Ji Heng and his memory had changed, but time only polished him It became even more eye-catching, and the emperor's heart couldn't help beating wildly. There was only one sentence in his heart, "His Junqing, the person in front of him is his Junqing!"

Not only did the emperor not allow Ji Heng to kneel down to pay respects, but he hugged him immediately, and lifted him off the ground, like an ecstatic teenager, he hugged Ji Heng around twice with a smile.

The author has something to say: About the fourth aunt being able to enter the palace to see the third sister, the article mentions that it is the emperor's special permission.

In the following article, when Mrs. Xu returned to Beijing, Fourth Aunt would not be able to enter the palace. Only Mrs. Xu could enter the palace. I have this common sense.So don't worry about it here.
