Chapter 518: Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March
At the beginning of February, in the middle of spring, the weather is warm and cold, and the wicker that has passed through the winter has just pulled out the tender yellow sprouts, and the capital is shrouded in a hazy smoke and rain, adding a few sorrows.
Jing'an Bo Mansion, in the main room of the inner house, Xie Xiaowan was busy packing up for Xianggong back and forth, and Yue'er was helping on the side.
In early spring and early summer, the twin pretty maids teased the little master Xu Kang next to the small bed. This little creature is nearly a year old, and although he can't walk yet, he crawls very fast, and if he is not careful, he can climb over the fence of the cot and crawl everywhere on the ground, a veritable little monkey.
It is estimated that because of adequate nutrition, Xu Kang, the little guy, is less than a year old, and has already grown four small front teeth, and at this time he is grabbing a piece of sweet potato and gnawing there, and the saliva that flows out makes the bib wet.
Chu Chun has a gentle and steady temperament, and patiently stares at the little young master to bite the dried sweet potato, as long as the latter stuffs the dried sweet potato into the small mouth a little, she immediately reaches out to stop it, lest the young master choke. At this age, a baby can't swallow hard food, and nibbling on dried sweet potatoes just allows him to sharpen his teeth. Well, this is a special explanation from the master, I have to let the little master grind his teeth every day, and the meat-eating guy has to polish it well since he was a child.
Compared with my sister Chu Chun, Chu Xia obviously didn't have that kind of patience, this girl sat bored next to the small bed, looking out of the house from time to time, her face was flushed, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with a kind of joy. To borrow a sentence from Yue'er: Spring is coming, this little hoof thinks about spring!
There are a lot of young people in the Xu Mansion, but the only object that can make this little hoof think about spring in early summer is the old man Xu Jin, in fact, this little hoof has never concealed his intention to be an aunt, so he almost didn't announce it in public.
The reason why Chu Xia is so excited at the moment is because her opportunity has come, the day after tomorrow the lord will be ordered to go out of Beijing on an errand, and she and her sister Chu Chun have been ordered by the master mother to serve the lord with them. Can this little hoof not be happy in early summer?
Originally, Yue'er, the chief manager of the inner house, should be serving the master, but Yue'er now has to assist his wife in managing the inner house, and she also has to help take care of the little master, so she can't get away at all, so the task of serving the master with her falls on the head of early spring and early summer.
"Madam, the weather is about to get hotter, don't you need to bring so many thick clothes?" In the early summer, when she saw that Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er were still stuffing winter clothes into the box, she couldn't help but ask questions.
Yue'er threw a roll of her eyes and reprimanded: "What do you know, the lord went to Nanzhili and Zhejiang to preside over the Qingzhang land this time, it is not something that can be completed overnight, last year it took more than three months to go to the land near the Qingzhang Jingshi, and the lord is afraid that it will take a year and a half to return to Beijing, bring more winter clothes to be prepared, and send someone to carry it when the weather is cold." ”
In the early summer, he spit out his pink tongue, and cleverly stopped talking, so as not to be trained again, and the chief manager of Yue'er could not serve the master with him, and he probably felt angry in his heart.
Sure enough, Yue'er pouted and complained: "The emperor is really, he always sends the master out of Beijing on an errand, and last year too, the master went to Shandong for disaster relief for half a year before returning to Beijing, and this time he went to a farther place." Isn't there an official under the emperor who can do things? ”
Xie Xiaowan glanced at Yue'er and said: "How many of our women can understand the affairs of officialdom, since the emperor sent the prime minister out of Beijing on an errand, he naturally has his reasons." Come on, don't say a few words, and bring the red sweat towel of the prime minister. ”
Yue'er agreed sullenly, and turned to look for a sweat towel in the closet.
Xie Xiaowan sighed secretly, Xianggong was sent to Beijing to run an errand again, and she was naturally very reluctant in her heart, not to mention that this errand not only offended people, but also took a long time, maybe it would take a year, or even longer.
At the thought of separating herself from her husband for a long time, Xie Xiaowan felt uncomfortable, and she was worried before they were separated. Fortunately, Xiang Gong just went to preside over the Qingzhang land, not to lead the troops to lead the battle, but there was no need to worry about danger, it was precisely because of this that Xie Xiaowan decided to let the early spring and early summer follow the service and take care of Xiang Gong's daily life and diet.
The ladies in the room were busy, the door curtain was lifted, and Xu Jinxing, who was wearing an official uniform, came in. He had just returned home, his hair seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of white sugar, and it was raining outside.
"The master is back home!" In early summer, the bullet got up, and in early spring, he also stood up and gave a blessing: "The maid has seen the master." ”
Xu Jin nodded with a smile, bent down and kissed his son, but the little guy didn't sell it, his little hand slapped his old man's nose, turned around, and continued to sharpen his four small front teeth happily.
In early spring and early summer, she couldn't help but giggle with her mouth covered, and Yue'er couldn't help muttering: "Madam, these two little hooves are now strong." ”
Xie Xiaowan was a little amused, walked over and took off her official uniform for Xu Jin, and said softly: "Xianggong is back." In early spring and early summer, tell the kitchen to prepare for dinner! ”
In the early spring and early summer, he agreed and exited the room, Xu Jin opened his hands to cooperate with his wife to change clothes, and said: "You guys will clean it up, and the husband will only leave after tomorrow." ”
"Pack it up early, so you don't lose it in a hurry!" Xie Xiaowan gently wiped the water droplets from Xu Jin's hair.
Xu Jin's heart warmed, he put his hands around Xiao Wan's slender waist and held it in his arms, and said apologetically: "Lady, it may take a year and a half for Xianggong to leave Beijing this time." ”
Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but blush, buried her pretty face in Xianggong's arms, and said lightly: "Xianggong should take good care of himself, Kang'er and I are waiting for you to come back at home." ”
Xu Jin hugged Xiao Wan's soft delicate body hard, nodded and said, "The family will be handed over to you, and the Xiang Guild will return to Beijing as soon as possible." After speaking, he lowered his head and looked for two cherry lips and imprinted them.
At this moment, the door curtain was lifted again, and a pair of beautiful women walked in, it was Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang. When the two women saw the scene in front of them, they were both Xia Fei's cheeks, and they hurriedly wanted to withdraw.
Xie Xiaowan was so ashamed that she buried her face in her father-in-law's arms like a quail, although she was already a mother, Xiao Nizi was still very tender, in fact, she was only nineteen years old this year. Xu Jin didn't care, anyway, at this time, the room was full of his own women, so what was the point of kissing him, so he hurriedly called Ruyi and Jixiang.
The husband is about to leave Beijing and travel far away, and it will take a long time to go home, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang are naturally very reluctant, so they can't help but run to the main house after hearing that the husband has returned home, just want to stay by the husband's side for a while, so when they heard the husband shouting themselves, the two women both stopped and looked back.
The two women are very outstanding beauties, standing side by side at this time, and suddenly looking back, the beauty is indescribable. Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in his heart at this time, if his three wives were left in modern times, any one of them would not lose to a first-line female star in appearance.
Of course, if you stay in modern times, you may not have this kind of glamorous fortune, even if you have money, you can't take it in a grand way, let alone be as harmonious as now.
"The concubine has seen her husband, Sister Xiaowan!" Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang walked over in shame and gave a salute.
Although Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang are both older than Xie Xiaowan, in order to show respect for Xie Xiaowan's status in the main room, the two girls usually call Sister Xiaowan, but Xie Xiaowan also calls the two sisters, so everyone is called Sister Sister, but it has become a scene in Xufu.
Yue'er cleverly carried the little monkey Xu Kang out and left the space for the four of them.
Fei Ruyi looked at the several big boxes placed on the ground, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but flush slightly, took out a sachet and tied it around Xu Jin's waist, and said softly: "Husband, mosquitoes breed in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, this sachet has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, and Husband remember to take it with you!" ”
Xu Jin lightly held Ruyi's soft wattle, nodded and said, "Thank you Ruyi, I will!" ”
Fei Jixiang took out the pocket watch from his arms and hung it around Xu Jin's neck for him, and said softly: "Husband, bring the pocket watch, save the daily missed time!" ”
"Husband, it's okay to miss the time, don't miss the return date." Fei Ruyi's eyes moistened as she spoke, and Xiao Wan and the two daughters of Jixiang also had red circles under their eyes.
In the eyes of modern people, this may be a little difficult to understand, Beijing to Nanjing is only more than 2,000 miles, annoyed to cry? But don't forget that it is now the Ming Dynasty, and the feudal society with serious backwardness in transportation and communication, let alone two thousand miles, even if it is two hundred miles away from home, it is difficult to see each other.
How many people say goodbye today, and they will never see each other again in their lives, so the sorrow of the ancients is particularly strong, and it is because of this that the ancient poets wrote so many touching farewell poems.
The dream of the building is five watches, and the flower is separated from the February rain.
On the tenth day of February in the second year of Jiajing, in the misty spring rain, Xu Jin said goodbye to his wife and children, led the Qincha honor guard out of the capital from Guangqumen, and drove to Tongzhou Wharf.
According to the plan, Qincha's first stop was Yangzhou, and it was estimated that it would be March when he arrived there.
Exactly: fireworks in March down Yangzhou! (https:)
