On August 23, Hua Ange finally arrived in the capital with a long convoy.

After attending his cousin's wedding and staying in Beijing for another month, Hua Ange returned to Linjiang, who expected that he had been at home for less than a month, and the holy decree of Feng Guifei arrived at Hua's house. The Hua family came out of the concubine, the Linjiang officials came to congratulate each other, and the Hua family held a banquet to celebrate according to the rules, but Hua Yuanhuai was worried.

"Cousin, is my aunt okay?" Hua Ange met his cousin and asked about his aunt in the palace first. Because my father felt that my aunt would not be named a concubine for no reason, she must have suffered a great calamity to have a blessing in the future.

The third master nodded slightly, "It's fine." ”

It's already fine, but it's okay to be uneasy in the previous paragraph? Hua Ange didn't know how to write to his father to explain the matter. Because my father was worried about my aunt, he didn't let go of his brows for a few days.

The mother complained to Hua Ange in private, and in his father's heart, his aunt was more important than the four of them. Hua Ange comforted her mother and told her that it was not that their mother and son were not important, but that they were all guarded and protected by him by their father's side, but their aunt was far away in the capital, and their father couldn't reach them, so they didn't fall down.

"My father prepared a lot of hometown tuyi for my aunt, and Ange sent it to my aunt the day after tomorrow." Hua Ange smiled, "Is my cousin-in-law in the fourth village?" ”

Although he is not filial, after returning here, what Hua Ange can't wait to see is Xiaocao. After he left the capital, he didn't think about her for a day.

The third master smiled, "She is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to come out to greet you, come with me." ”

Hua Ange was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. The last time he came, his cousin-in-law only married his cousin, and it was only three months since he was full, and his cousin-in-law was pregnant! It's a pity that he knew it too late, otherwise he would have transported the pomegranate root carving in the Hengchang Building and sent it to his cousin and sister-in-law as a congratulatory gift.

Xiao Nuan was shocked when she heard this, through the large number of money-biting toads at home, she knew that her cousin had some skills, but she didn't expect it to be so good, "The pomegranate root carving in Hengchang Building is actually from my cousin's hand?" The third master, the carving is more than one person high, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, vivid and vivid, and it is a rare treasure in the world. If it weren't for the treasure of Hengchang Building, which is not sold, I would have carried it back a long time ago. ”

Hua Ange was very happy to see that his cousin-in-law actually liked the root carving she carved so much, "You don't need your cousin-in-law to carry it, Ange will write a letter later, and let someone transport it by boat." ”

How embarrassing is that? But the third master and Hua Ange have such a close relationship, talking about money is too hurtful, and the excuse seems hypocritical. So, Xiao Nuan said with a smile, "You don't need to look for a ship, Yangzhou Ayaluo Branch has cargo ships going north every month, so let them come by the way." When the cargo ship returns, my cousin-in-law will give you a boatload of wood to practice your hands, and look forward to your new immortal products. ”

After speaking, Xiao Nuan looked at the third master with a smile. She didn't have good wood, but the third master would definitely have it, and she remembered that there were a lot of pieces in the palace treasury.

Xiao Nuan spoke, and the third master naturally would not dismantle her platform, and nodded with a smile, "That's very good." ”

Hua Ange excused himself, "It was just carved by An Ge from the roots of a tree picked up by the roadside, and the cloth and clothes that my cousin-in-law sent to my house are several times more precious than that piece of wood." ”

Xiaonuan's cotton mill branch has opened in Linjiang.

Xiao Nuan said seriously, "How can wood carvings and a few pieces of fabric be compared." ”

Gifts need to be given to their liking, if you like it, it is worth a thousand dollars, and if you don't like it, it is worthless. In the eyes of his mother and little sister, the wood carved by Hua Ange is worthless compared to the fabric of his cousin-in-law. After meeting a bosom friend, Hua Ange was happy, and talked with his cousin and sister-in-law for a long time before asking, "Sister Xiaocao can be in the village?" ”

Xiao Nuan nodded, "She just passed from me." ”

Hua Ange's ears were slightly red, "An Ge brought gifts to Anren, Xiaocao, and Rhubarb, so I will send them over." ”

It was almost noon, and the third master and Xiao Nuan also arrived at the fourth village together, and the family picked up the wind and washed the dust for Hua'an Song.

What Hua Ange gave to the Qin family was a gift prepared by his mother, and there was a large box of them, the rhubarb was a ball carved from animal bones, and the grass was an iron and wooden stick carved by his own hands.

The two ends of this wooden stick are carved with the cloud pattern of the teaching body, the texture in the middle of the wooden stick is very shallow, and it is non-slip if you hold it. She liked it immediately and danced in the courtyard.

After the grass was put away, Hua Ange couldn't help but applaud, and Rhubarb also wagged his tail frantically to express his joy.

With such a good weapon, Xiaocao was excited, she pointed to the pattern on the stick and said to Hua Ange, "Ange carves the name of Xiaocao here, and you can carve as big as you can." ”

"Eagle name?" Hua Ange was puzzled.

"In the future, when Xiaocao fights with people, you can engrave a mark on him, and you can know who fought at a glance." When Xiaocao said this, she was arrogant.

Xiao Nuan was speechless, Qin's face hung a black line, and Hua Ange didn't want Xiaocao's boudoir name to be engraved on an unrelated person, so he gave her an idea, "The name of the carving is not as good as a carving 'should be beaten' and a carving 'looking for a beating', so it will be more imposing to hit it." ”

Xiaocao's eyes lit up, "Okay, this is good, I want this, Ange will get it for me!" ”

Before Hua Ange could respond, Qin couldn't help but shout, "I think you might as well let An Ge use a drill to drill a few holes in the stick for you!" “

"What are you doing in a hole?" Xiaocao didn't understand.

"If you insert a steel thimble in the hole, the stick will become a mace, and it will be more imposing!" Qin replied.

"Mace, ......," Xiaocao looked longing.

Qin's face darkened, "If you dare to get it, my mother will beat your ass with it every day!" ”

Xiaocao grinned when she heard it, forget it, although the mace is good, but when Yuantong comes back and sees it, he shouldn't like it.

Xiao Nuan smiled on the third master, and his cheeks were sour.

Seeing that everyone was so happy, Rhubarb jumped around in the house and followed the silly music. The third master hugged Xiao Nuan, his smile went straight to the bottom of his heart, and he secretly swore that he must keep this joy.

On August 25, Hua Concubine's concubine ceremony was held as scheduled in Chonghua Palace, and Xiao Nuan's family dressed up to watch the ceremony.

Listening to Emperor Jianlong's personal decree, watching the golden concubine seal personally held by Dexi and handed it over to Concubine Hua, the Qin family was so excited that he almost cried.

She has always been worried about what to do if Emperor Jianlong dies and Niangniang is just a cultivator, but now it's okay, Niangniang has become a concubine. Others call it Taifei, she is called Taiguifei, it's amazing to listen to!

The concubine is the second only concubine in the harem to the queen, if you use the title of ordinary people, she is not a flat wife but also a concubine, and she is a woman with status next to Emperor Jianlong. The mother has survived for half her life, and finally survived. Qin wiped her tears and was happy for her.

After the four concubines, six concubines, twenty-seventh wives, and eighty-one royal wives of the harem stepped forward to salute Concubine Hua Gui according to their status, Xiao Nuan and Princess Yi stepped forward to say hello, and then the foreign wives of the Qin family and Xiaocao.

Hua Shu personally helped up the Qin family, pulled up the grass, and the three of them held hands and looked at each other, but they were all teary-eyed, as if they were in another world.

Niangniang has lost weight, her hands are still so cold, she must have suffered a lot for a while, Qin's heart is sad, and she can't speak.

Xiaocao felt that Niangniang was beautiful today, "Guifei Niangniang is so beautiful today, so beautiful, so beautiful." ”

Hua Shu took off the plain and elegant clothes she always wore today and changed into a full dress. The robe is intricate and exquisitely embroidered, covered with gold threaded clothes, rich and dignified. Her hair is slightly fluffy with sideburns on her head, and the small bun on the top of her head is slightly moved forward and lowered, decorated with gold and jade tassels. The peony between the temples and the goose yellow on her forehead make her already twelve points more dazzling, and she is really glamorous in the harem, and there is no color in the six thousand fandels.

Hearing Xiaocao say this, Hua Shu smiled, "That Xiaocao drew the main palace, okay?" ”

Xiaocao shook her head very, very seriously, "Xiaocao can't. Even if it is a Danqing holy hand, it can't draw half of the beauty of the mother. ”

Zheng Meiren and the others couldn't wait to roll their eyes to the sky, Concubine Shu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Xiaocao's little mouth is getting better and better, did you learn it from your sister?" ”

Listen to how many people can talk, and they praise their two daughters with one mouth. When the Qin clan was digging out his mind to think about how to boast back, a eunuch at the gate of the palace shouted, "The Holy Lord has arrived-"
