Rehe, Caojia Courtyard, East Courtyard.

This is the yard where Chu Yu planted sunflowers at the beginning of the month, and now Cao Hao and Chu Yu live in this yard.

Chu Yu recuperated for half a moon injury in the garden of King Chun's mansion, and heard that the holy car was about to go to Rehe, and his father-in-law was about to follow, so he returned here to recuperate.

She couldn't walk as usual, but she was able to get out of bed.

Today, it is April 26, and the holy car is about to arrive at the Rehe River.

Since three days ago, the Rehe Palace and local officials have begun to prepare to take over. Early this morning, Cao Hao went to the Yamen of the Internal Affairs Office to be busy with various driving matters.

Chu Yu returned here to recuperate, and the happiest person was Fang Qi Niang. The two imperial doctors from Beijing also moved to this guest room, Fang Qiniang was eccentric, and she walked around in front of the two imperial doctors when she was fine.

Because she is a little girl, even if the two imperial doctors don't like it, they can't be too strict. Then I found out that she had some talent, and she was even more reluctant to scold.

Fang Chonggong had already left Rehe and went to Zhili to check the background of Xu Yunlong and his wife.

did not use Cao Hao to speak, but "overheard" Cao Hao's difficulties and took the initiative to ask for help. The reason why he stayed was not only to meet his daughter's wishes, but also to repay the favor, so he was naturally willing to help Cao Hao earlier.

Although it was in another courtyard, because the Li family and Chu Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were there, God blessed them with three brothers and sisters, which added a lot of anger. Seeing that Baoya was very envious, she ran here to stay if she had nothing to do.

Looking at Tianyou, Hengsheng and Arslen playing in the courtyard, Bao Ya turned sideways and said to Chu Yu with a smile: "There are still more children, or I will find another one for our prince?" ”

Chu Yu lay down for a long time, and then went to the soft couch under the porch to sit and breathe.

Listening to Baoya's words, Chu Yu pointed to her forehead and said with a smile: "Look at this mother, I'm not afraid that the child will hear it." ”

Bao Ya smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?" In a few years, the son will marry his daughter-in-law. It's you, the children are all done, and you still blush in front of Cao Hao, pretending to be a little girl, aren't you? ”

Chu Yu saw that the more Bao Ya talked, the more unscored, so he didn't fight with her.

When Bao Ya saw it, she clapped her hands and said, "Look, look, come again!" That's it, who cares about the 'boudoir fun' of the two of you? When the family members of the palace and the prince's family have arrived today, Ming'er will start to greet and greet endlessly. Speaking of this, he glanced at Chu Yu and said, "Finally, you can be cheaper, and you don't have to smell those sesame oil pollen." Otherwise, the good people will follow the smoke and lie down and raise it. ”

Chu Yu saw her exaggerated, shook her head with a smile and said, "How can it be so exaggerated?" That's how everyone came over when they were young, and they didn't hear anything you shout? ”

Bao Ya stood up, turned around in front of Chu Yu and said, "Look at this robe, riding a horse and archery is much more comfortable than a flag outfit." As he spoke, he raised his leg again and pointed to the boots on his feet: "Don't look at this is leather, it's not hot to wear in the summer." But from tomorrow, I will start stepping on the bottom of the flower pot. ”

Seeing Baoya standing up, Arslen ran over and pulled her sleeve and said, "Eniang, when are we going back to Horqin?" Take God-blessed, Hengsheng and his son's little Anda to run away! ”

Hengsheng took Tianhui and came over with Tianyou.

Tianyou was a little confused when he heard this, and asked, "Little Prince, didn't you just say that Anda is a brother on the grassland?" My sister is a girl, so I'm a sister and a cousin, but it's not a 'brother', right? ”

Arslen seemed to have never thought about this problem, looked at Tianhui and said, "Anda is Anda, what is this?" Speaking of this, let go of Baoya's arm, stretched out his arm, hugged Tianyou squarely, used the strength of breastfeeding, turned around, and said, "Anda, let's also marry Anda...... Tianyou is half a year older than Arslen, but he is not as strong as him.

Being hugged like a "child" like this made him blush, and he couldn't help but glance at Arslen.

Arslen grinned, just smiled, turned to Hengsheng, and wanted to hug Hengsheng, but Hengsheng was about the same size as him; wants to hug Tianhui, Tianhui has been picked up by Hengsheng...... Seeing the children like this, Bao Ya couldn't laugh, and said to Chu Yu: "It seems that my little lion is really rare, God bless a few of them, this is how many temporary kung fu I know, and there are two more little Anda." Earlier, in Horqin, I had seen a lot of children, but I had never seen him so close to anyone. ”

"Raising children knows the kindness of their parents, and now I really don't have anything to look forward to, I just hope that the children can grow up safely." Chu Yu listened to the children's laughter and said to Baoya.

Bao Ya remembered something, pouted and said: "I still hope that my brother and sister-in-law can bring my nephews and nieces over, and the flesh and blood can be reunited, who would have thought that they would not follow them." ”

Chu Yu knew that she missed her mother's family, and comforted: "Wait and see, didn't you say that the princes and ministers who followed the Hu in July and those who stayed in the capital will have to rotate, maybe they will come at that time." ”

At the mention of her brother and sister-in-law, Bao Ya had already smiled, hesitated, lowered her voice and said: "Chu Yu, I heard that my brother's second and third elder brothers are gone, and some gossip is not good, and it has reached my ears." Although I know that my sister-in-law is not that kind of person, but being chewed on her tongue like this is an obstacle to her reputation. ”

The wife and concubine of Pingjun Wang Nersu gave birth to a total of six sons and one daughter, of which the eldest brother Fupeng, the fourth elder brother Fuxiu, the sixth elder brother Fujing and the big Gege Fumin are concubines, and the second elder brother, third elder brother and fifth elder brother are concubines.

Chu Yu heard Cao Jia's family and said, "What else can there be?" It's just that seeing the deep relationship between the prince and Fujin husband and wife, it has caused outsiders to be red. I can't wait to make the wind and rain cause their husband and wife to turn against each other. For a while, it was also spread in the capital, and because of this, Fujin was also sick. ”

"If you are someone else, Xu is poisonous, and my sister-in-law looks exquisite, and she also has arrogance in her bones. I'm also worried that because of gossip, my brother and sister-in-law will have a dislike. When Bao Ya said this, she smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, in the palace and Baylor mansion in this capital, there is no shortage of resentful women. are all blind marriages and dumb marriages, there are a few couples who can really get along, and the rest are mostly 'respectful as ice'. In many houses, the wife is just a decoration, and the whole day is idle, so naturally there will be trouble......"

In the end, touching her heart, Baoya couldn't say anything.

Chu Yu's side, thinking of his mother's side, was also a little embarrassed, unwilling to take this conversation again, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, I don't know if Rehe is lively or not?" If you are in the capital, there are temple fairs everywhere inside and outside the city. ”

"The temple fair in the capital...... Bao Ya's face showed a look of yearning, and then shook her head and said: "What is there to see about the temple fair, when the time comes, there will be a banquet here in the palace, you have to raise it quickly, let's go into the palace to see the scenery." Isn't it the best place to see the scenery in the palace in summer......"

* Ten miles away from the city, there were several rows of people standing in the crows.

Although he knew that the holy car would leave from Karahetun and it would take him to reach Rehe in the afternoon, who would dare to pinch and wait, wouldn't that be disrespectful?

From the beginning of the day (nine o'clock in the morning), everyone put down their errands and went out of the city for ten miles to welcome the holy car. Like the seventh elder brother and Qi Min, the head of the palace, they left for Kara and Tun yesterday to greet them.

Although the weather is not hot, the sun is uncomfortable. Cao Hao was a little dizzy, and avoided looking for a shade tree.

This is a wild elm tree, more than one person tall, the elm money has fallen away, and it has tender leaves.

Cao Hao held on to the trunk of the tree, thinking that before coming to Rehe, he was still thinking about taking Chu Yu's spring outing and picnic or something, but he didn't do anything.

At this time, I heard someone behind me say worriedly: "Fu Ruo, can you still survive?" Look at your face is not very good. ”

It was Yi Duli who came over, with a look of worry on his face, and looked at Cao Haodao.

Cao Hao smiled bitterly in his heart, although he did not "tell the sick" according to the advice of the seventh elder brother, but his health was not much better.

Last year, he was seriously injured on the grassland, and he didn't recover until winter, so he caught up with Mr. Zhuang and died. Since then, the sad and tired have not stopped.

Li and Chu Yu have already made people boil tonic medicine for Cao Hao. Cao Hao thought about it for a while, but still made a small move and watered all the tonics.

Even if you don't pretend to be sick, you have to show Kangxi before drinking.

If you want the horse to run, but you want the horse not to eat grass, how can there be such a beautiful good thing in the world?

Now Cao Hao has fallen into a strange circle, the more he is promising, the more things he encounters, and the more people he offends. There is no room to retreat, how can it not make people feel refreshed?

He found that he was a little too "sensible", and he was cautious, so that Kangxi could rest assured that he would hand over the errand.

More than enough is too much.

He's only twenty-three, don't those old men still say he's a "yellow-haired boy" behind their backs? Mistakes that are not big or small are not a great fault.

"It's okay, it's just that these few errands are complicated, and I haven't rested." Cao Hao flicked his sleeves and said.

Yi Duli shook his head and said, "Look what you've become?" His eyes were sunken, and his clothes were terrible. I'm afraid that a gust of wind will blow you away. ”

Cao Hao looked back at the direction of the palace and said, "Finally, the repair has been completed in front of the holy car, and the errand of the two of us is also settled." A few days ago, I was busy taking care of Neiko, and the adults watched the errands, which made the adults tired. ”

Hearing him mention this, Yi Duli shook his head and said, "Don't be ashamed of me, it's my lax governance of the family and the lack of tightness of the door that made the thieves succeed and let the county lord be so dangerous." What's the point of taking on more errands, God forbid, nothing serious happened, otherwise I would have committed suicide with adults to apologize. ”

"Don't be careful, my lord, it's still because of me that the enemy will come to the door. Even if she is not in the adult's house, the woman still has to make a move if she finds an opportunity. Cao Hao said.

After this change, Yiduli seems to have aged a lot, and he has lost his frivolity.

As the two were talking, they saw that the crowd not far away was a little twitching, and they heard someone say: "Look, the holy car has arrived ......."

Looking along the official road, there was the sound of drums and horses' hooves in the distance, and I saw flags fluttering and countless soldiers and horses.

Headed by Cao Hao, everyone knelt down according to their grades and waited for ...... * Beijing, Taihedian Square.

I began to pray for rain on the 22nd, and it has been 5 days since then.

At the end of the twenty-second day, the sky was a little overcast, and then a few drops of rain blew the clouds away. In the remaining days, clouds accumulated twice, thunder sounded several times, and the ground was not wet.

It was fine today, but the incense on the altar had not yet burned out, and before it was time for the heavens to thunder again.

The princes and officials in the square have been sparsely scattered, and everyone goes back to the yamen to eat tea every time they come to go through the motions.

The fourteenth elder brother is not a patient person, but this time praying for rain is like changing his surname, and he will not fall.

The fourth elder brother saw it in his eyes and knew that he had other plans, so he snorted coldly in his heart.

If the drought continues like this, the people of Gyeonggi will suffer. The fourth elder brother raised his head and looked at the thin clouds in the sky, looking forward to the thick clouds.

But the sky did not follow people's wishes, and the originally sparse clouds gradually dispersed, leaving a clear sky.

The blazing sun was indescribably dazzling, and the fourth elder brother lowered his head, feeling quite disappointed.

The incense on the altar has been burned, and the prayer for rain is over.

The fourteenth elder brother took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his face, and said to the fourth elder brother: "Huang Ama is still waiting for the rain report from the capital, if it continues like this, how will those officials of the Ministry of Rites report?" ”

The fourth elder brother smiled and didn't speak, but listened to the fourteenth elder brother continue: "Fourth brother, I haven't asked Eniang for a few days." If the fourth brother is not busy, let's go and say goodbye to Eniang, right? ”

Seeing that the fourteenth elder brother was full of closeness and expectation in his eyes, the fourth elder brother hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

The fourteenth elder brother has not yet branched out, so he lives in the palace elder brother's office, when can't he go if he wants to visit his mother? When he said this, he thought that he had been really busy recently, and he also deliberately wanted to be close to the fourth elder brother.

This time, the holy driver went to Rehe, and Concubine De did not follow her, but stayed in the capital to preside over palace affairs.

Seeing that her two sons came to say goodbye, she was also full of joy, looking at this, looking at that, and talking often.

The fourth elder brother Rao is cold-faced, and it is not good to put on a face in front of his biological mother, so he listened to it with a smile; The fourteenth elder brother was laughing and laughing, telling the interesting stories of the market heard in the yamen, which made Concubine De smile all over her face.

Although the fourteenth elder brother is already close to age, and the eldest daughter and eldest son are in their teens, they still look like a child in front of their mother.

Concubine De looked at her youngest son, her face full of love; When he looked at his eldest son, his expression was not so natural.

"You are brothers, and you ought to be kinder than other brothers. In the future, they will support each other, and Eniang will feel relieved. Concubine De said, but her eyes glanced at the fourth elder brother.

The fourteenth elder brother said with a smile: "Don't worry, E-niang, the fourth brother has always been worried about his son, and he has always let me." In the future, I am also sensible, and I know that I must follow my brother and be close to my brother. ”

Looking at their mother and son singing and singing, the fourth elder brother only felt a chill in his heart.

He clenched the Buddhist beads in his hand vigorously, smiled and nodded.

Concubine De had a bigger smile on her face and said, "Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, our mothers will also be reunited at that time." E-Niang will prepare the table, and you will bring Fujin, Little Brother, and Little Gege......"

This time the mother and son got together, and it took more than an hour to talk about the "family".

looked at the mother's mother, who was a little wooden, and said "let's go", "let's go", and the fourth elder brother could also feel this "compassion".

It's just a little sad that this "compassion" is mostly for her young son, and even in and out of the words, he was told to be an elder brother and not forget to protect his younger brother.

"Brothers are united, and their profits are gold", this sentence sounds enviable, but the fourth elder brother can't see it from the fourteenth elder brother.

Dominate the military department and gather the people of the "Eight Masters Party", and the fourteenth elder brother has already shown the trend of replacing him.

It's just because the eighth elder brother still has prestige among the clan and the old ministers, even if the fourteenth elder brother keeps making small moves, it is not good to put it in broad daylight, and he must always cover it up.

As one of the eldest elder brothers, the fourth elder brother holds the title of prince, as well as the power of his adoptive mother, Queen Xiaoyi, and the mother of the Tong Jia clan. If it is brought over, the fourteenth elder brother can also be regarded as borrowing a lot of strength.

In the end, he has grown up, the fourth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother, and there was only this one thought. The fourteenth elder brother was so pampered when he was a child, and he was only resentful and alienated to his half-brother, who was ten years older, and there was no time to be submissive.

The fourth elder brother held the tea cup, looked at the hot tea inside, drank most of the mouthful, and finally had some hot air on his body...... * Cao Mansion, side hall.

Amethyst looked at Han Jiang, who was dressed tightly, and said with a smile: "It's a hot day, if you have something to send someone to spread the word, is it worth coming?" ”

Han Jiang was wearing a bamboo-blue cardigan, a royal blue pleated skirt underneath, and a plain fan in his hand, looking extremely elegant.

After listening to Amethyst's words, she said with a light smile: "It will open later, and I am afraid that I won't be able to pull away, so I will take the liberty to come to the door today." After the opening, I invited a play in the house over there, and there were no outsiders, but she was just a shopkeeper or something. If the girl wants to admire her face, she will go and wander around. ”

Amethyst called for tea, and said to Han Jiang's family: "Since Grandma Han said it, I designated to accompany it." By the time these four opened, there would be a total of ten. Grandma Han is no matter how strong she is, she is also a weak woman, not an iron muscle, and she should take good care of it in the future. ”

Han Jiang nodded and said, "Miss Xie's concern." ”

While speaking, the little maid beside Amethyst had already sent two burdens over.

Amethyst took it, pushed it to Han Jiang's family, and said: "I heard that Grandma Han recognized a girl, I don't have anything to congratulate here, there are a few pieces of clothing material, it is bright ground yarn and Xiangyun yarn, make two sets of home-style clothes for the girl." There is also a pair of gold bracelets, which I wore in my early years, which are quaint and stronger than those in the outside world, which is a little bit of my heart. ”

Han Jiang was a little moved, and said, "How can this make the girl break the bank?" ”

"It's a rare happy event, grandma is willing to accept it, just give me face." Amethyst smiled, pointed to the package below, and said, "There are two snow lotus plants and half a catty of bird's nest in here, which our wife and grandmother used to supplement my body." I'm an idler, where do I need all this? Although I know that Grandma Han is a rich man, there is no shortage of this at home, but it may not be suitable if she bought it from outside. ”

The front one is okay, but the Han Jiang clan in the back is a little afraid to accept it, and said: "The girl's kindness, the little woman understands it." Is it the kindness of the wife and the county lord, or the girl's use. ”

"I have something else, Grandma Han will take it......" Amethyst said.

Han Jiang looked at the muslin clothes on Amethyst's body, and looked at the ordinary furnishings in the room, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, rich for three generations, it is different. It's not like the nouveau riche, it's all hanging on the face.

It's not prosperous, but the subtleties are still good......
