The grass in the factory should be plucked

Officials of the Great Chu practiced the "five-day-one-bath" policy, which meant working five days and resting one day.

It was a day off, and Prince Jing'an's mansion hosted a banquet for relatives and friends to welcome Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo who had returned from their meritorious service.

The banquet was held at the Mansion of Duke Dingguo. Everyone had heard that this garden was designed by Mo Qillang, a great figure of the Mohist school. It was a masterpiece of ingenuity and beauty, so they took this opportunity to go and see it.

At this time, the front of Prince Jing'an's Mansion and Duke Dingguo's Mansion was bustling with traffic. Gorgeous carriages drove in one after another. The guests were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing their elegance and nobility.

The carriage that the Jiang family was riding in looked particularly shabby. Jiang Xiuyuan helped Old Madam Jiang get off the carriage. Looking at the towering red gate and the guests in gorgeous clothes, he couldn't help feeling ashamed of himself.

Thinking back to when I used to wear gorgeous clothes, call friends and spend money like water, I feel mixed emotions.

Guan Changshi had received Liao Wuyong's instructions long ago. Seeing that it was the Jiang family, he hurried forward and said, "The master-in-law is here. Please move to the Duke's Mansion."

Old Madam Jiang was a bully at home. Seeing the guards standing in front of the two mansions, all of them tall and solemn, wearing soft armor and swords at their waists, she couldn't help feeling afraid. She didn't dare to say a word and walked towards the Duke's Mansion with the support of Mrs. Song.

Jiang Huai pulled the two-year-old Jiang Ting to follow Jiang Xiuyuan, and whispered: "Ting'er, remember to pay your respects to your aunt and uncle later."

"Well, Ting'er remembers it."

The little girl nodded vigorously, her big round eyes wide open, she was simply dazzled by what she saw.

She had never seen such a big and beautiful garden!

The garden landscape is dominated by water, with undulating corridors and reflections on the water, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

The garden, which is designed with landscapes of the four seasons of "spring, summer, autumn and winter", surrounds the main building in the center.

Pavilions, terraces, and towers are hidden among the overlapping rocks and flowing springs, and are connected by winding corridors.

Walking in the corridor is like walking in a painting, with beautiful scenery everywhere.

Not to mention the little girl, Jiang Xiuyuan and others had been rich before, and they couldn't help but open their eyes wide when they saw this Jiangnan-style garden in front of them.

Jiang Xiuyuan even had tears in his eyes. This garden was clearly built in the style of the Fang family mansion!

A'li is doing this to commemorate her mother!

Madam Jiang was indignant: "They are a family of four and live in such a large mansion, which is built like a paradise for gods. It's a pity that my old grandmother can only live in that shabby courtyard!"

Jiang Huai said helplessly: "Grandma, Ah Li is now a prince, and his brother-in-law is also a duke, but my father is only a fifth-rank official, how can we compare?"

Guan Changshi was leading the way. He sneered secretly when he heard the words. It was said that it was this confused old lady who colluded with that vicious woman Yu to kill the prince's biological mother!

Isn't this the situation you deserve?

The prince is showing mercy, otherwise you would be left with nothing!

He escorted the Jiang family to the main hall in the front yard. Gao Yisong and his family had already arrived and were greeting Liao Wuyong.

Gao Yisong saw that the people from the Jiang residence had also arrived, and he quickly stood up: "Father-in-law, you are here too!"

Liao Wuyong also came out and bowed slightly: "My dear relative."

"How are you these days, Governor?" Jiang Xiuyuan perked up and bowed to Liao Wuyong.

"Haha, I am so happy to hold my grandchildren in my arms every day. Naturally, it can't be any better!"

Liao Wuyong's face was flushed, which made Jiang Xiuyuan feel jealous. They are my grandchildren, my own!

After everyone greeted each other, Zhou Bo called a few maids and asked them to take the women to the "Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms" garden.

At this time, the winter plum blossoms are in full bloom. From afar, you can see the white plum blossoms are like snow, the red plum blossoms are competing for beauty, and the faint fragrance is refreshing.

This garden also has a large glazed greenhouse that draws in hot spring water. Flowers are in full bloom in the misty streams, and the ladies are enjoying the flowers or sipping tea among the flowers. It is like a beautiful painting of a spring outing.

The ladies with royal titles sat around the newly promoted Lady Zhang, chatting and laughing.

Seeing the maid leading Madam Jiang and Song in, Aunt Lian stood up and asked, "Madam Jiang, how are you?"

Madam Jiang naturally recognized Fang Yi's personal maid. Seeing that she was dressed in the auspicious clothes of a lady of noble title and looked very good, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Song hurried forward and bowed, "Greetings, Lady Zhang."

He also bowed to each of the ladies one by one.

Madam Jiang couldn't wait to ask, "Where are my dear granddaughter, great-grandson, and great-great-granddaughter?"

Aunt Lian smiled and said, "The prince is having dinner with the young county lady and the young prince. Madam Jiang, please take a rest here."

Madam Jiang refused to sit down: "Take me to see them."

Aunt Lian smiled slightly: "The young county lady and the young prince are shy. After they finish their meal, they will naturally come to see great-grandmother."

Old Madam Jiang was displeased. She was the grandmother and when did it become the turn of a lowly maid to make the decision?

Song secretly tugged at her sleeve, and Madam Jiang had no choice but to sit down in disappointment.

Song was pulled by Jiang Ting and asked her mother to take her to see the flowers and the gurgling stream. The water was actually warm!

There are so many beautiful and fun things at my aunt’s house!

Jiang Li didn't want to deal with those people, so she stayed in the main courtyard and talked to the twins.

Cui Han, a Buddhist nun from the White Lotus Sect, and Cui Ai, wife of Shen Muchun, who were good friends with her, also joined her in playing with the twins.

Seeing that Cui Ai was obsessed with the twins, Cui Han couldn't help but ask quietly, "Ai, you've been married for a while now, is there any news?"

Cui Ai's face flushed and she whispered, "My husband said there's no rush. He just returned to Beijing and needs to recover first."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Brother Shen is a miracle doctor, so we should listen to him."

Cui Han said angrily: "Do you think everyone is like you two, not knowing the seriousness of the matter? Fortunately, you are in good health. You marched a long distance and got pregnant with twins! If it were someone else, you would definitely not be able to keep the babies."

Jiang Li blushed: "I don't understand these either!"

Cui Han sighed. She lost her mother at a young age and her aunt Lian never married. No one taught her such things. It was really difficult without a female elder around her.

She couldn't help but touch Jiang Li's head, and said with pity: "Let Dr. Shen help you take care of your body. You have been busy and busy since you gave birth to the child. You have to take good care of yourself and don't have a second child too soon."

Cui Ai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will talk to my husband when I get home and ask him to prescribe some nourishing prescriptions for you."

Jiang Li's face turned bitter and I said, I don't want to drink the medicine!

But she also knew that the two of them were truly doing this for her own good, so she nodded obediently.

After Cui Ai returned home, she told Shen Muchun about this matter. Shen Muchun laughed and said, "She is just a freak. You can't look at her with the eyes of ordinary people."

Cui Ai was very surprised, so Shen Muchun told her the martial arts that Jiang Li and Xie Changan practiced.

"These two have long been invulnerable to swords and guns. Even their bones have been trained to be indestructible. Why would they need to recuperate?"

Cui Ai was shocked: "How could there be such a powerful technique in the world?"

"You don't know how painful it is for them to take a medicinal bath to refine their bodies, to strengthen their skin and flesh, and to reshape their bones. If an ordinary person goes in, he will probably be left with only bones left when he comes out!"

Cui Ai was horrified.

Shen Muchun shook his head and sighed, "I'm not surprised that Brother Chang'an has such perseverance. Sister Sixteen is such a delicate girl, but she is also so persevering! She has really risked her life to get to where she is today!"
