Chapter 985: Keeping the Year
This year, because of the state funeral of the Empress Dowager, the annual festival is almost all reduced except for the indispensable agricultural and mulberry festivals.
It's just that the eunuchs in the court are almost the same, and there are no major ups and downs.
The only exception is this year's New Year's Day, when the emperor is in charge and decrees an amnesty to the world.
It is said that this is the meaning of Gu Mouyu.
With him by Wei Yanxian's side, Wei Mingxu was more at ease.
In the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Zhixuan got up early in the morning, and walked back and forth in Xijinzhai with the crying Brother Shu'er, coaxing the villain, yesterday Brother Shu'er was a little cold, and his nose was muttering early this morning.
Wei Mingxu went to the arrow road early in the morning to practice swords, came back sweating, and was about to order someone to take a bath, looking at the busy Lin Zhixuan, Wei Mingxu wiped the sweat with a towel, and said: "Your body is not yet complete, Brother Shu is getting heavier and heavier now, just let the nurse hold it." ”
Lin Zhixuan gently patted Brother Shu'er's back, walked back and forth, and said, "You go to the bath, you smell of sweat, and you will have to enter the palace to guard the New Year in a while, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Lin Zhixuan said and sighed again, obviously very bored.
Wei Mingxu wanted to speak and stopped, only went to take a bath first, changed his clothes, and then came over, Brother Shu had already stopped crying, but he was still calling his mother.
Brother Shu can speak, and he can't say it all, just now he can only call 'mother', not even Daddy, Wei Mingxu approached, took Brother Shu from Lin Zhixuan's arms, and said: "Why don't we call it sick, don't go into the palace tonight to keep the New Year, let's be a family of four and keep the New Year at home, okay?"
Brother Shu was in Wei Mingxu's arms, looking at Wei Mingxu with big black and bright eyes, grabbing Wei Mingxu's still wet hair and playing, babbling and wanting to speak, but suddenly heard him open his mouth and shout: "Mother...... Mother...... Yay, daddy......"
Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan were talking, and they didn't pay attention for a while, but they didn't hear clearly in a trance.
Hongxiang on the side listened to it, but his eyes lit up, and he didn't even care to interrupt Wei Mingxu: "Lord Wang, the little prince will call Daddy!"
Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan were both stunned, and hurriedly stared at Brother Shu'er, but they never thought that the child would call his mother again, and Wei Mingxu felt a little lost.
The ninth sister had already changed into the clothes she had entered the palace, came over happily, and said, "Daddy, mother, when will we enter the palace?"
Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan were both slightly stunned, and had already handed over Brother Shu'er to the nurse on the side, and ordered someone to set up breakfast, Wei Mingxu said: "Your mother's body is not yet well, so she will not enter the palace tonight to make her tired." ”
The ninth sister's little face suddenly became depressed, and said, "Ah, then we won't enter the palace?"
Lin Zhixuan was puzzled, why did this little girl always like to go to the palace, but she only heard the ninth sister murmuring: "I haven't seen Sister Xin for a long time, and I miss her a little." ”
and Wei Yanxian, the ninth sister still has something in her heart that she wants to ask him.
But it was not pronounced.
Looking at the ninth sister's well-dressed and lost appearance, Wei Mingxu was relieved and said, "You go, let Du Qin accompany you." ”
Wei Mingxu turned to Lin Zhixuan again and said, "You are so good, it will not be in the way if you send a few proper mothers-in-law to accompany her." is already a big child, so you don't have to be too restrained by her. ”
Only then did the ninth sister smile on her face, shouting long live Daddy!
Lin Zhixuan's body was not yet well, so Wei Mingxu called it sick and did not enter the palace to keep the New Year. Only the ninth sister had breakfast early in the morning, and then entered the palace with a congratulatory gift from King Jing's mansion.
Now that they are still in the filial piety period of the Empress Dowager, Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan have to keep filial piety for three years, especially in the first year of this year, they are not allowed to go back and forth to pay New Year's greetings to feasts, set off firecrackers or fireworks, but it is also rare to be idle.
There was no snow on Chinese New Year's Eve, the snow stopped after so many days, Wei Mingxu ordered people to burn the underground flue very strongly, the house was warm, Brother Shu because of the cold, so go to bed early, Lin Zhixuan sat in front of Brother Shu'er's shaking bed, looking at the little person on the rocking bed, his hand gently opened Brother Shu'er's collar, the scar on his body was still shocking. Lin Zhixuan's fingertips trembled and stroked the jagged scars, like small thorns piercing into the pages of her lungs, making her so painful that she couldn't breathe.
Although Shen Yan's medical skills are good, most of them are serious illnesses, and he doesn't know as much about these small illnesses as Hu Liangqing.
Wei Mingxu walked slowly to Lin Zhixuan's side, the stars outside tonight were very good, but they didn't set off fireworks, drums and sing like in previous years.
The entire capital is slightly deserted.
But between the rooms of Xi Jinzhai, the warm candlelight swayed gently, but it was a rare warmth, Wei Mingxu looked at the scar on Brother Shu'er's body, and was also distressed, and said: "Let your mother and mother suffer, tomorrow, I will ask Shen Yan to prescribe some scar removal ointment and wipe it on Brother Shu'er, and when he grows up, this scar will definitely fade." ”
Lin Zhixuan's hand was still gently caressing Brother Shu'er's skin that should have been tender and smooth, and her heart was full of self-blame. I don't know how Li Jing was able to do it at the beginning, such a young child, she didn't protect him, so that he suffered like this at a young age.
Wei Mingxu felt ashamed in his heart, suddenly thought of something, took out something from his arms, and held it in front of Lin Zhixuan with his palm with a little hesitation: "What do you see here?"
Lin Zhixuan lowered her head and saw that Wei Mingxu was holding a crystal clear carnelian pendant in her palm, which was made of the color of maple leaves, the jade was warm and transparent, and the carved lines were even smoother.
Lin Zhixuan has always liked these small things, and after seeing them, her eyes lit up, and she reached out and picked it up from Wei Mingxu's palm, although she liked it, she couldn't help but joke with him: "Which country is this tribute?"
Wei Mingxu couldn't help but think of the topaz that was broken by Lin Zhixuan in the past, and his heart trembled slightly, and said: "It's not a tribute from any country, it's this autumn, when I went to Mongolia to fight and passed by Lantian, I ordered someone to search for it." Lantian jade is rich in jade, black jade, white marble and topaz, but there is very little colored jade, this piece of carnelian is very rare in Lantian. ”
Lin Zhixuan got up and left Brother Shu'er's bed with Wei Mingxu, afraid that the two of them would disturb Brother Shu'er's sleep by talking.
The two of them went back to the east together, since Wei Mingxu broke into the palace to save her that day, the two of them had a tacit understanding to avoid talking about the previous things, as if nothing had happened, but in fact, because they were a little hesitant in their hearts, and they didn't know where to start.
