Chapter 278: Being Neighbors

The fourth prince also had a look of "appreciation" on his face and said immediately.

“It turns out he’s a brother from the Wei family. There’s no need to be polite. You and Qilang should be cousins.”

 The fourth prince knew a little bit about the relationship between the Duke's Palace and the Taiwei's Palace, so he used this as a starting point to win over Wei Jiaheng.

Who knew that Wei Jiaheng would actually be the one who came to the door, so he opened his mouth and said.

"The fourth prince has good eyesight and good memory. Qilang is indeed my cousin."

Shang Qilang watched Wei Jiaheng's friendship with the fourth prince quietly, feeling very disdainful in his heart. He was still torn about whether to join the fourth prince's camp, but this cousin was very quick to do so. Integrated into it.

 So seeing this, Shang Qilang silently took half a step back and gave up his seat to Wei Jiaheng.

And he and the fourth prince were rare "confidants", and they already had a brother-in-law relationship with each other in just a few words, which was really sad and ridiculous.

With the addition of Wei Jiaheng, the attention of the fourth princes was taken away a lot. Seeing this, Shang Qilang found an excuse and left for a while.

Walking to the corridor not far away, I looked at the people at the table, changing cups and cups, and had many other thoughts in my mind.

Especially after walking around in a circle, he locked his eyes on the fourth prince. Looking at his inviting posture, he sighed after a moment.

Is a descendant of a noble family like Wei Jiaheng really useful in truly seizing the right to inherit the throne?

 Shang Qilang had a lot of doubts.

 The fourth prince acted like this, and it was obvious that he was not a very smart person. However, his mother and sister had paved the way for him and insisted on letting him board the fourth prince's ship. At this moment, he felt indescribably uncomfortable.

He sighed a few times. If he had a choice, no one would want to surrender to a wise king. Obviously, the prince is much better than the fourth prince.

 And there are people hiding dragons and crouching tigers on both sides, so the situation is much better than it is now.

He was confident that if he could join it, he would definitely be someone who could do something great. But now, he was confused. He wanted to join the East Palace but couldn't get in. He didn't want to follow the fourth prince but there seemed to be no way to escape.

 Shang Qilang was in a dilemma.

 But he was in trouble. Shang Sanlang on the other side relied on the opportunity to show his face in front of the prince and his "friendship" with Shang Ji, and got an "excellent" score in the Ministry of Personnel's performance evaluation, so he was promoted to the head of the guest department in the Ministry of Rites.

He is responsible for the foreign and foreign affairs, and his relationship with Honglu Temple is quite close. If he works well, he will be able to develop in Honglu Temple in the future.

 Therefore, after knowing about their promotion, the people in the third room are now quite grateful to the General's Mansion.

Now that Erlang’s daughter-in-law is no longer in charge, all the people in the three houses in Osmanthus Lane only follow Shang Sanlang’s lead.

He has more serious ideas than his grandfather and father, so he restrains everyone from running wild, and the rights of the back house are also given to his wife, so Osmanthus Alley is safe and stable.

However, their stable life will soon come to an end, because the fifth old man lost his fifth house in the first month of the year, and the whole family will have to move here in the next two days.

They lived together in Osmanthus Alley and were once "one family", so naturally they were somewhat inseparable, so Sanlang's wife went out of her way to tell everyone about her interests.

"Sanlang is the only one in the family who still has a bright future. If he can walk on Qingyun Road in the future, our family will also have some conveniences. But if the grandparents, parents-in-law and second brother insist on causing trouble at this juncture, then we Sanfang’s good luck may be coming to an end.”

"Why do you say such things? Isn't Sanlang a good person? He also wins the eyes of nobles." "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't want to be so threatening, but I think everyone has heard about Liulang's temper these days. The uncle is a subordinate of the Guo family. I didn't go there when I was there, and now I can't even open the door of the General's Mansion. We will never be closer to him than the uncle. If we get angry, I don't need to say more about the consequences."

Hearing this, everyone stopped and stopped.

In the six months since they moved out of the Duke's Mansion, they know what it means to live in a cold pot and a cold stove, so they don't dare to say anything more. It's good to be able to live a peaceful and clean life for two days now.

Especially the third old man, his fifth brother is a few years younger than him, and now he is buried in the soil, so it is better to hide.

Seeing that everyone was very obedient, Sanlang's wife said nothing more.

Instead, he was trying to find some good things and wait for the nephew in the General's Mansion to give them to him when the full moon comes. It would also be a good idea to show his face in front of Rokuro's wife.

Time flies by and it’s May in a blink of an eye.

The weather is getting hotter every day, especially Du Jingyi, who is still in confinement. He will be sweating slightly in the past two days.

At times like this in previous years, ice would be used in the house, but now her body can't bear it, so she can only push back.

However, fortunately, I can open the window to let in the occasional breeze, so it won’t be too boring.

Mrs. Du has been staying in the General's Mansion for half a month. She has been taking care of Du Jingyi and Tai Geer every day, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight.

It can be seen that taking care of children is not as tiring as usual.

 Shang Ji was not idle either. After she gave birth, he stayed at home. There were people talking about it outside at first, but it didn't take long for him to be at home as an upright "Xianfu".

Because when he was working for His Majesty, he accidentally "falled" and injured his leg. After the treatment, the imperial doctor said that he must rest for three months, otherwise the leg injury would not heal.

Du Jingyi was shocked when he heard the news.

  She was worried at first, but then she suddenly remembered what her husband said to her that day, and realized that he might have "asked for it".

It’s really distressing and helpless.

Nowadays, one of the couple is in confinement and the other is recuperating from an injured leg, but they have truly fulfilled the saying: If you don’t leave the front door, you won’t step forward at the second door.

 I devoted myself wholeheartedly to raising children, and the results were very good.

When Tai Geer was born, he was in good health, but after half a month, he opened his eyes, grinned, and even cried louder than before.

 The wet nurse's food intake has also increased a lot, because she said that her brother's appetite is good and she has to make up for it.

At first, Mrs. Du said that she would find a good wet nurse for Brother Tai so that they could feed him together. But it turned out that Brother Tai only sucked from the wet nurse, so there was nothing he could do, so he could only feed the wet nurse with all his strength. Food supplement.

Probably because the wet nurse's milk is good, the child will naturally grow faster if he eats more, so Brother Tai has put on a lot of weight and looks stronger than Brother Yun in the same life in the future.

“After all, he is the child of a military commander, and his bloodline is here. Look at how strong our brother Tai is!”
