We have all been busy with business lately and haven't seen each other for a long time. Today we have free time. After chatting with Yu Zheng for a while, Jiang's father felt itchy hands and asked someone to bring chess equipment.
Jiang Ning, who was coaxing Yu Ziyou to play, saw Jiang's father playing chess with Yu Zheng. He was extremely envious and wanted to join in.
However, Yu Ziyou clung to him and refused to let him go.
Jiang Ning's hands turned red and she asked Jiang Shu for help with a grimace.
Jiang's father dropped his son and said, "Don't worry about him, let him hug him as long as he can."
Jiang's mother also said: "Let him hug me for a while, it will save him from nagging."
Jiang Shu, who originally wanted to take Yu Ziyou over, gave up the idea after hearing this, and went with Jiang's mother to Shu Tongyuan to talk about herself.
"Sister..." Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Shu's walking back with a look of despair.
Jiang's father twisted the chess pieces and threw them into the well. He said, "Coax him well. If Ziyou cries, your brother-in-law won't be able to spare you."
Yu Ziyou yelled, "Bah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" and pulled Jiang Ning's hair with her hands to urge her dissatisfied.
"Ouch - Ziyou let go, it hurts." Jiang Ning carefully broke off Yu Ziyou's hand and continued rubbing it with a grimace. At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but Jiang Ning was miserable inside.
After rubbing it for an unknown number of times and for how long, when Jiang Ning's hands were sore, someone finally came to rescue him.
"It's time for the little prince to nurse and change his diaper." The wet nurse stepped forward to ask for instructions.
Jiang Ning looked overjoyed as if she had received an amnesty, and hurriedly handed Yu Ziyou to the nurse, sighing in relief.
Yu Ziyou, who was in high spirits, howled unhappily twice, and was carried to Shutongyuan by the nanny to nurse him before he stopped.
After drinking milk and changing diapers, Yu Ziyou yawned, half-opening his eyelids and feeling sleepy.
Jiang Shu put him on the bed and gently patted him to sleep.
The room was quiet, Jiang Shu and Jiang's mother were sitting in front of the bed, looking at Yu Ziyou's cute sleeping face, they couldn't help but like it.
"Our son, you, is so beautiful." Mother Jiang's face was gentle and loving, and her affection was beyond words.
Gently putting Yu Ziyou's little hand into the quilt, Jiang Shu said with a doting look on his face: "I'm afraid he will torture Aning quite a lot today."
Mother Jiang smiled and said, "Uncle, you should coax your nephew."
Afraid of disturbing Yu Ziyou, Jiang Shu asked the wet nurse to take care of her while she and Jiang's mother went outside to talk.
The morning passed quickly, and when Yu Ziyou woke up, Jiang Shu and others had just finished lunch.
Jiang Shu hugged Yu Ziyou and asked Jiang Ning deliberately: "Do you want to hug him again?"
"No more hugs." Jiang Ning shook her head wildly and refused.
Father Jiang joked: "Why don't you hug me? Is your skin not thick enough?"
Jiang Ning coughed and found a valid reason: "I have a question and I want to ask my brother-in-law for advice."
After saying this, Jiang Ning invited Yu Zheng to the study seriously, took out the questions he had written down and asked him for advice.
Yu Zheng knows everything he knows and talks endlessly, and is very patient.
The afternoon sun is warm and there is no cold wind.
Jiang Shu and Jiang's father and mother took Yu Ziyou to the garden and played with him.
Jiang's mother walked in front with Yu Ziyou in her arms, followed by Jiang Shu and Jiang's father. The father and daughter discussed Jiang Ji's business.
Jiang's father said: "After successive disasters, there is war. I don't know what the year next year will be like. People depend on food, so we still have to find ways to stock up on more food."
Although everyone is looking forward to a great victory at the border and good weather next year. But hope and reality are two different things after all. Just in case, you still need to be prepared.
Jiang Shu agreed with Jiang's father's idea and thought: "We have purchased all the grain-rich places in the north, so I'm afraid there won't be much left. Besides, the north is close to the border, so we should leave it as a retreat."
"Yes." Father Jiang nodded: "Although the food production in the south has been reduced due to floods, the territory is vast and there are always places that have not been affected by the floods. Besides, there should be old grains from last year. If you want to stock up on grains, you can only go south."
"It's getting colder and colder. I plan to leave in a while so that I can get back before the Chinese New Year."
Just like finding the source of silk, for such an important event, the owner must go there in person.
Jiang Shu raised his eyes and looked at Jiang's mother in front of him, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid Mom won't let dad go on a business trip."
Since Jiang's father's accident, Jiang's mother has been suffering from heart problems.
Jiang's father sighed and said, "Let's talk to her carefully. If I don't go, who will? You are the princess now, and Ziyou is so young, so it is impossible for you to leave the capital alone."
She really couldn't get away now.
Jiang Shu frowned slightly, and said apologetically: "If I didn't sell the grain to the court, I wouldn't have to..."
Father Jiang waved his hand to interrupt her: "What are you thinking about? You insisted on hoarding this food at the beginning. If you hadn't insisted on hoarding food, Jiang Ji would have run out of food."
Where there is a cause, there is an effect, and where there is a country, there is a family. Jiang Shu did nothing wrong.
Pursing his lips, Father Jiang lowered his voice and said, "The most important thing right now is to convince your mother."
Jiang Shu sighed, this is not easy.
The father and daughter thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to wait a few days before departure, so as not to worry Mother Jiang now if it was too early.
Mother Jiang is particularly happy today, so don't spoil her happiness.
Mother Jiang, who was walking in front, turned around and saw her father and daughter walking very slowly. They were busy talking and had no intention of enjoying the scenery and relaxing. She couldn't help but complained: "It's a rare day to have a free day. Can you not talk about business?"
Jiang Ji's shop is right there, so I won't have to worry about it for a day and won't run away.
On the other hand, they have been busy for a long time, and if they don't take a break, their bodies will be exhausted sooner or later, which is not worth the gain.
Seeing Jiang's mother looking unhappy, the father and daughter hurriedly picked up the pace and caught up, laughing and saying: "Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's go to the garden with Ziyou."
Jiang's mother was then satisfied and continued teasing Yu Ziyou.
"Ziyou, come and hug me." Father Jiang stretched out his hand to hug Yu Ziyou.
Mother Jiang turned away and said, "Your legs are too tired. You have to be careful when walking by yourself, so as not to drop Ziyou."
After hearing this, Father Jiang lowered his head and looked at his affected leg, and gave up in frustration.
Mother Jiang was right. It didn't matter if he fell, but it would be serious if he fell.
Hearing them talk about Jiang's father's leg, Jiang Shuguan asked: "Is dad's leg still recovering?"
When she asked in the past, they all said they had recovered and could walk normally. Why did it seem like there was still some inconvenience when she heard it today?
Seeing the worried look on her face, Jiang's father said: "Don't think too much, everything is fine. It's just that the broken leg is no better than the good leg. Sometimes it suddenly hurts for no reason, but it doesn't matter. Just be careful."
After hearing this, Jiang Shu frowned and said, "If I have some free time these days, I'll ask Doctor Chen to come and take a look at Dad."
Otherwise, Jiang's mother would not be at ease if Jiang's father went to do business like this, let alone Jiang's mother.
Jiang's mother said: "No need, we have invited all the famous doctors in the city to see him, and they all said that he is extremely lucky to be able to recover like this. Even the best medical skills and elixirs have little effect."
Jiang Shu had no choice but to give up after hearing this, but there was still a worried look on his face.
Jiang's mother advised: "Okay, don't worry, your dad is very good, he only happens once or twice. Don't talk about him, even my good legs sometimes suddenly hurt and soften."
"That's right, your mother is just talking nonsense. Her legs and feet are not as sharp as mine." Jiang's father walked quickly in front of Jiang's mother as if to show off.
Seeing Father Jiang's actions, Jiang Shu was finally amused and put aside his useless worries.
