After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

The days are passing faster, and once July comes out, it will be August.

The emperor led Yan Qingqing to the palace to express his gratitude. It was a thousand miles away from the capital. According to the normal journey, it would take about a month to walk from Chengyang County to the capital.

Even if we hurry up, it will take more than half a month. Besides, the weather is cold now, so I am not in the mood to rush.

According to Yan Qingqing's plan, it is best to set off in September. In the golden autumn season, it is neither cold nor hot, and there is still a chance to go sightseeing.

Even if it cannot be later than October at the latest.

So there were some things she needed to prepare for now.

When she goes to the capital, she must take one of them, Li Xiangping or Li Xiangan, to have a long experience.

But Yan Qingqing has not yet decided who to take.

But Li Xiangyang is young and has never left her, so he must take her with him.

She needs to discuss this matter with Yuan Huiniang again.

But this is not the most important thing at the moment. The most important thing is to resolve Li Xiangan's marriage.

Yuan Huiniang found out some information about girls from good family backgrounds and made a booklet.

I brought it to her room two days ago and told her to go over it first. If there seems to be someone suitable, arrange for them to meet each other.

According to Du Ruzhi, who was close to Yuan Huiniang, Yuan Huiniang obtained these things through her connections, just so that Li Xiangan could marry a wife as soon as possible.

To talk about when Yuan Huiniang had Du Ruzhi by her side, it was actually none other than Du Ruxiu who had always been by Yuan Huiniang's side.

Her two children are now the secret guards of the Li family. Although they comply with the rules and do not meet with Du Ruxiu often, Du Ruxiu knows that her two children have learned a lot from the Li family. She was extremely grateful.

In fact, she had wanted to change her name for a long time. First, it was to cut off the past and say goodbye to the past.

Secondly, her name conflicts with Li Jinxiu. Although it has the same sound but different words, it is not good after all.

At first, Du Ruxiu didn't think about changing her name. After all, she was also the daughter of a scholar and had her own pride, and she was born with this name.

Moreover, the Li family's family background is not so prominent.

But things are different now. The master can ignore it, but as a servant, she cannot help but be aware of it.

Later, she took the initiative to find Yuan Huiniang and asked to change her name.

Yuan Huiniang agreed after thinking about it, and gave her another name like Ruwei. This can be regarded as the official name given to her by the master's family.

In fact, Du Ruzhi could also clearly feel that Yuan Huiniang had more trust in her since she took the initiative to change her name.

In the near future, Du Ruzhi will feel lucky that he had the foresight to change his name early. Of course, this is a story for another day.

Besides, Yan Qingqing needs to hurry up. She wants to have a good talk with Li Xiangan and Mu Xi. If they are interested in each other, they should settle the matter as soon as possible.

If there is no interest in each other, don't waste time. Otherwise, when Yuan Huiniang finds out, she will definitely blame her mother-in-law for not reporting the information.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingqing couldn't wait for a moment.

Ruyi quickly found Li Xiangan.

Originally, Li Xiangan was busy with things in the workshop. When he heard that his mother was looking for him, he thought there was something big going on, so he hurried back.

Yan Qingqing waved away all the servants and said directly: "Second brother, if you have something to say, just say it.

You are now an old man, and it’s time to start a family.

Your sister-in-law is worried about this matter.

Isn't this a list of names for you to choose from? See if there's anything you like.

If you have a mother, come to propose marriage. "

Li Xiangan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Didn't his mother know about his affair with Mu Xi? He thought that his mother would take the initiative to mention Mu Xi, so that he would have room for bargaining.

Could it be that his mother looks down on Mu Xi?

Li Xiangan felt uncomfortable thinking about this, but he still wanted to fight for himself.

So he said: "Mom, I have someone I like."

Yan Qingqing pretended to be surprised and said: "What? You have someone you like, it's impossible.

You are so busy every day that your feet never touch the ground. He doesn't often come into contact with women, so where can he find a woman he likes?

Don't lie to your mother just because you don't want to get married. "

Seeing that Yan Qingqing didn't believe it, Li Xiangan quickly explained: "Mom, what I said is true. I really have someone I like."

Yan Qingqing still asked with disbelief: "Then tell me which family the girl is from? Mom is ready to prepare a betrothal gift and come to propose marriage."

Li Xiangan gritted his teeth and replied, "It's Mu Xi. I hope my mother can fulfill my wish."

He has already thought about it, whether his mother wants it or not, he will fight for it.

Although Mu Xi is now a servant of their family, Mu Xi has real abilities.

As a result, as soon as Li Xiangan finished speaking, there was a sound of a stool falling to the ground.

Li Xiangan was a little surprised. Is there anyone else in his mother's house?

Yan Qingqing said with a smile: "Have you heard everything? Do you have any concerns? You can tell me all together."

After a while, Mu Xi slowly walked out of the room, wearing a black outfit and a high ponytail, which was her daily attire. At this moment, his face was red.

Madam asked her to come over half an hour ago and said she wanted to discuss something with her.

She thought the madam would ask her to perform some task, but when she arrived, the madam did not assign any tasks to her, but asked her to hide in the room and not make any sound.

Seeing Mu Xi's shy expression, Yan Qingqing knew that she also liked Li Xiangan.

So he looked at Mu Xi with a smile and asked: "What do you think about this? Don't worry, I'm here, my wife. If you don't like him, I will find a girl for him to get engaged to tomorrow."

You will never let him cause trouble to you. "

Li Xiangan resisted the urge to roll his eyes when he heard this. He now understood his mother's tricks. It was clearly intentional just now.

However, Li Xiangan also wanted to know Mu Xi's reaction, so he stared at Mu Xi directly.

Mu Xi's face turned even redder with embarrassment, and she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. In the end, he replied twice, "It's all up to my wife to make the decision."

Yan Qingqing laughed when he heard this and said: "Haha, in this case I will find a good day to arrange your marriage in advance.

As for the day of getting married, there is no rush. "

Li Xiangan and Mu Xi both nodded when they heard this.

After the heat on her face subsided, Mu Xi asked: "Madam, I have a few questions that I don't know whether to ask or not?"

Yan Qingqing said with a smile: "We are all a family, what else should we ask?

If you have any questions or requests, just ask. "

Mu Xi was not polite and asked directly: "When did Madam know that this subordinate is born as a girl?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "I can't remember the specific time, I probably had my doubts when we first met.

Although later on, every move you made looked like a man. But if you think about it carefully, there are still shadows of the daughter's family. "

Yan Qingqing has lived for two lifetimes and has always paid attention to the people and things around him, especially the people who accompany him closely.

So she knew about Mu Xi's daughter's identity early on.
