LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 42 If you like it, don’t pick it off
There are a total of four children in Anguo's mansion.
Three men and one woman.
The eldest son is already twelve or thirteen years old, followed by two younger brothers, one is ten years old and the other is eight years old.
They are all where the royal wife of the crown prince Qin Qi lives.
In addition, Qin Qi also has a daughter.
The daughter is the youngest, one year younger than the youngest son. She is seven years old this year, but she is a concubine.
However, although she was born as a concubine, she was also favored because she was the only girl in the Duke's mansion.
"To sum it up, this little daughter and Yi'er are similar in age." The old lady knew the situation of Anguo Gong's family quite well.
"But this doesn't make sense." Chang Chun frowned, "In this world, there is only fear that everyone would exchange a daughter for a son. How can a son be exchanged for a daughter?"
"Is it possible that I'm afraid that the main wife won't be able to accommodate my son after I give birth to him?" Mrs. Ning next to her was thinking more.
"The three sons of the Qin family are all descendants of the main wife, and the only concubine is this little daughter. This..."
Ning's idea is not outrageous.
Every family of this powerful family in the capital has children who were born as concubines. Some suppressed the concubines and concubines so that they did not dare to cause trouble. There are also families who dote on concubines and destroy their wives, without distinction between concubine and concubine.
Duke An's family was in chaos. After his wife passed away, he married his second wife. The concubine, who was very angry with his wife, was very clever. The fight with the second wife was full of chaos, and the huge Duke's house was in chaos.
If Qin Qi's maternal ancestral family hadn't helped him marry the daughter of the current Prime Minister Huo's family, and if Qin Qi was really capable, I am afraid that the position of the heir apparent would have been handed over to others.
Perhaps it was the wife of the royal wife who had done something about it.
"Huo doesn't look like this kind of person." Chang Chun thought for a while and shook his head in denial.
"Don't think too much. Yi'er will be kept in your house for the time being. When he meets Qin Qi, he can make some inquiries."
Chang Chun and Ning nodded, "That's all."
At this time, the seven brothers of the Xue family were taking Long Baoer to the most mysterious place in Zhenyuan Bo.
Uncle Zhenyuan's Mansion followed Taizu and conquered the world. Although he gave up military power early, he gained the trust of the Tian family. Therefore, Uncle Zhenyuan's Mansion looks ordinary from the outside, but it is actually beautiful inside.
At this moment, the seven brothers of the Xue family took Long Baoer to look at the flowers in the unique greenhouse of the Zhenyuan uncle's house.
This flower house belongs to the old lady and she spent thousands of dollars to build it. Different flowers bloom throughout the year in the flower room.
Among these flowers are common flowers and plants, many of them are rare flowers and plants given by the emperor, and there are even some that are unique to the world and cultivated by the old lady herself.
Sometimes saints and empresses would come out in disguise to enjoy the flowers.
Although it is winter at this time, there are many flowers blooming in the greenhouse.
"Sister, look, do you like it?" Xue Ting asked softly with a smile.
"I like it!" Long Baoer's eyes widened, full of surprise.
Xue Lei stood beside him with a smile.
When she was in Anping Mansion, Auntie Xie felt sorry for Long Baoer and asked someone to urgently cut a lot of new clothes for the little girl.
Disgusted by Ji Zhong's harsh treatment of a little baby for so many years, Long Baoer didn't even have a new piece of clothing, and wore only small clothes made by Grandma Sun from old clothes.
The clothes are all dull and shabby.
Aunt Xie was so angry that she chose all the dishes with bright colors and soft textures. Some of the clothes were embroidered with various flowers.
Long Baoer has never worn new clothes since she was a child, let alone those brightly colored flowers. My eyes widened when I touched the flowers with my little hands.
Xue Lei thought at that time that when the peach blossoms in the Western Mountains bloomed in spring, he would take his sister to have fun.
As a result, after he finished speaking last night, the second child, Xue Ting, touched his chin and said, "Why wait for spring? Grandma's greenhouse has all kinds of flowers and plants? Let's take my sister to see it tomorrow."
All the brothers said hello.
Although they don't like to see this thing, they feel that it is far less attractive to them than their second uncle's arsenal.
But, as long as my sister likes it, that's fine.
When Long Baoer entered the flower room, he was really shocked. His dark eyes could hardly see through it.
It is said to be a flower house, but in fact this place is larger than the entire Ji family's residence where Long Baoer was born, not to mention the small courtyard as big as a palm where Long Baoer grew up.
The snow outside has not yet melted, but here it is as warm as spring, and there are three or four kinds of flowers in bloom.
"Which flower does Long Bao'er like? Third brother will pick it for you!" Xue Zhen was changing his voice, and from time to time a rough duck call came out of his throat, which made several children snicker.
"No!" Long Baoer was startled and quickly reached out to hug Xue Zhen's arm, "Third brother, no!"
"Why not, doesn't Long Baoer like it?"
"I like them. Don't pick them all." Long Baoer said seriously, "Long Baoer likes them to grow well."
"So that's it. It was Third Brother's fault. Third Brother won't pick it anymore, Long Bao'er, don't worry."
"If Long Bao'er wants to take a closer look, can my brother hold you?" Xue Lei followed Long Bao'er step by step.
His big stride was several steps ahead of Long Baoer's. It was quite interesting to watch him follow step by step.
The younger brothers were laughing again.
"Go, go, let's play together." Xue Lei turned around, and Lao Liu and Lao Qi ran away.
"Big big…" Lao Wu stammered.
"Brother." The fourth child shouted.
Xue Lei turned around, "Huh?"
"Let's go, let's go..." Lao Wu couldn't speak clearly, so he pointed in the direction behind him with his hand.
"Go to the pavilion and wait for your sister."
"Ah, go ahead." Xue Lei nodded.
"Then I might as well go see my grandma and ask her if she can have lunch here in the greenhouse?" Xue Zhen thought of a good idea. "By the way, have someone bring over all the food you just bought."
This is nothing in the Zhenyuan Mansion. When the mood is good, or when there are special flowers blooming, the old lady will come to the flower room to have meals and snacks.
Sure enough, the old lady agreed without hesitation.
"The wintersweet and camellia are in full bloom at the moment. Since Long Baoer likes it, we will all go to the greenhouse for dinner today." The old lady said in a good mood.
Especially, after hearing what Xue Zhen said about Long Baoer not allowing him to pick flowers just now.
The flower house in Zhenyuan Uncle's Mansion was built when the old lady got married.
But in the huge Earl's Mansion, she was the only one who loved flowers.
Both his son and his daughter followed the old prince and loved to wield swords and guns since they were young, especially their grandchildren.
Now, her old lady has finally found someone who loves and cherishes flowers as much as she does.
"Come on, let's go over now and enjoy the flowers with Long Bao'er." the old lady ordered.
Just as a few people were about to get up, they heard Zicuckoo entering the room with a happy face and raising the curtains, "Old madam, eldest madam, the young master is back!"
Upon hearing this, the three women in the room all looked happy.
After a while, a young man with a slender figure and bright eyes entered the room, "My grandson kowtows to his grandmother."
He turned around and kowtowed to Ning and Chang Chun. They couldn't wait for him to kowtow and quickly helped him up.
