Song's daughter only lived for three days before she died.

Yinzhen didn't say anything, just let me rest for a long time, and explained that he wanted to go to Zunhua to temporarily worship in the temple, and then left with Gao Wuyong.

The house is no longer as warm and peaceful as it used to be, it is silent all day, no one is laughing or laughing at will, and even fewer people are moving around. The Hongwan siblings also seemed to understand what was going on, and stayed quietly in my room, Hongwan didn't even play the zither anymore, and always sat next to the younger brother to practice calligraphy together, or learned to embroider new patterns with Meiyu. There was often a faint sadness on the two similar little faces, and I think they remembered Honghui, after they really understood what death was.

It wasn't until before the Chinese New Year that Yinzhen rushed back to Beijing, and there was a lively atmosphere of the New Year in the house.

The palace family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was the first time I met the Song family after returning home. Her originally delicate little face has become thinner, and her figure has recovered extremely quickly in just one month, and her face is so expressionless that it is difficult to get close, and even when she looks at Yinzhen, she has lost her previous expectations.

The colorful firecrackers in the sky kept flickering, and the red man was lying on the soft couch of Concubine De, her little face almost sticking to the half-open window, trying to look at the colorful night sky outside. Hongwan sat beside Concubine De, peeling melon seeds and peanuts one by one, and then put them on Concubine De's palm, and the focused expression of her cool little face made Concubine De cover her mouth with a handkerchief and laugh vigorously.

Yinzhen's son Hongming is not yet two years old, he looks like him, and he also has the appearance of Yinzhen, he likes to laugh very much, like Peihan's kind of smile, soft and shallow. Lying on Hongwan's lap, he reached out and grabbed the melon seeds on the plate, and the saliva dripped on the hem of Hongwan's red robe.

Concubine De smiled and wiped the handkerchief, Hongwan took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the corners of Hongming's mouth, Concubine De looked at him and chuckled, "Why don't you wipe the hem of your robe, but it's dirty." ”

Hongwan replied in his deep voice, which was very similar to Yinzhen, "It's still going to be dirty for a while, just change it when you go home." ”

His stern and serious expression, indifferent tone and attitude, very good at Yinzhen's true biography, made several of us adults laugh. I looked at the person sitting next to me, and he also lowered his head and bent the corners of his mouth indistinctly.

Xiaoyan finally straightened her stomach like a pregnant woman, sat beside Yinxiang and quietly watched the children, not knowing if she liked boys or girls. I know that Yinxiang likes boys, but if he is born with filial piety, he will definitely like it regardless of whether he is male or female.

This kind of observance is rare, in this year when the brothers have become increasingly estranged. Yinzhen has been sitting there and has not left in advance, and the other two men have been the same, always sitting around Concubine De's Yonghe Palace with their wives and children, although they have not spoken, no one has said that they want to go back to the house first.

Concubine De looked at Xiao Hongming beside her, and then looked at Pei Han, as well as her still flat lower abdomen.

I watched quietly and finally heard her concern, "Peihan, Hongming is almost two years old, and it's time for you to have another one." ”

I lowered my head in surprise, not daring to let people see my slightly open mouth, Concubine De has also changed. Such direct words, she would not have said it before, how could she have to go around in a circle and be subtle, but now, everyone is really changing, changing with each passing day.

Fortunately, I am already old in her eyes, and I will no longer put the responsibility of giving birth to a child into my hands. And Yinzhen's temperament, she should know better than anyone else, and it is impossible for her to say such things to him or his woman in front of her brothers.

I watched carefully as Peihan's face began to turn red, and I nodded, but there was a hint of forbearance in my eyes.

In this regard, we women all understand that last year, Yinzhen's side Fujin added two more daughters to him, and Shu Shujue Luo was even more competitive, and at this time he was already three months pregnant. If I am or filial piety, no matter how generous and tolerant I am, I will actually feel embarrassed and awkward.

Yinzhen suddenly stood up from the chair, helped me up and walked to Concubine De, and said in a low voice: "Eniang, the time is almost up, you rest early, my son will go back first, and I will come back to you tomorrow morning." ”

Concubine De's eyes scanned each of us before she nodded and smiled, "It's not early, let's go back, go back and rest early, these little ones are left for Eniang." Early tomorrow morning, your emperor Ama said that he would move to Changchun Garden, so you can go directly over there and stay for a few days. ”

The firecrackers in the palace have burned out, and there is still the smell of fireworks in the air, which is very strong, with a festive atmosphere, blown by the night wind,

Yinzhen took Pei Han and said hello to his two brothers, then got into the carriage and left slowly.

Yinxiang looked at us with Xiaoyan, coughed before whispering, "Fourth brother, let's go together." ”

I looked at the two brothers who were looking at each other, Yinzhen was already standing beside me and shook his head, pointing to the carriage on the side and urging, "You take your younger brothers and sisters back to the house, it's serious to rest early, and when the child is born, our brothers will drink together." ”

Yinxiang smiled slightly at the corner of his lips, nodded, took out a small satin bag from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Yinzhen's hand, and whispered something in his ear, before grinning at me and holding Xiaoyan's waist and getting into the carriage carefully.

Yinxiang has also learned to whisper to men, and he actually bit my man's ear, and he even did it in front of me!

Yin Zhen was actually laughing...... These brothers are disgusting!

I stood speechlessly with Yinzhen, watching the carriage clatter away, leaving only the long red palace wall illuminated by rows of yellow lanterns, glowing with warm orange light and shadow, illuminating the midnight of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

After the hustle and bustle, it always calms down like this, as if it never happened.

Gao Wuyong followed us at night, and the carriage in the house slowly followed. Yinzhen took my hand and walked for a while, then looked down at me, pulled the cloak on my chest and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?"

I looked up at him, wondering if he was thinking the same as mine, so I took his arm and stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Riding a horse?"

Hearing a muffled laugh that seemed to come out of his nose, I was picked up by him with both feet off the ground and walked towards the carriage, and Gao Wuyong quickly followed and lifted the curtain.

Yinzhen sat in the carriage with me, glanced at Gao Wuyong and leaned on his shoulder, closing his eyes and resting.

The thick cotton curtain quickly obscured my view, and even the man sitting next to me could not see his face clearly, only to feel the carriage moving slowly, and his even breathing in his ears.

I stretched out my hand and tried to reach the small curtain on the window, but Yinzhen pulled him back, his face pressed against his chest, and a low voice came from above his head, slightly tired, "Close your eyes and rest, and you'll be there in a while." ”

I felt a little bored, but I couldn't say anything more when I heard that he was very tired, so I had to secretly shake off the tired bottom of the flower pot, but I didn't know where the blanket and the hand stove were hidden, it was very cold.

Yinzhen held my shoulders and bent slightly, lifted my legs and curled up on his legs, stuffed a hand stove in my arms, and out of nowhere conjured a blanket to wrap around us, holding my feet with his hands, and the warmth came up in wisps.

I couldn't see anything in the darkness, and I leaned on him to close my eyes and stay quiet, and I was drowsy by the wagon.

Hearing the sound of tom thunder, I was so frightened that I suddenly woke up, and I felt a golden light rise into the night sky, scattering colorful colors. I sat on the bed and wondered what was going on, and suddenly touched the bedding...... Wasn't the bed in the carriage?

quickly got out of bed and put on his shoes, groped for the window with the light outside, and saw Yinzhen squatting in the yard, with a small figure beside him, and a few people standing not far away.

Honghui!

Yin Chen took me to see Honghui, on the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion night.

Yin Zhen, who was squatting on the ground, held Honghui's hand and □□ the firecrackers placed on the ground, pulling him back, Honghui's hand was on his belt, and the two looked up together. Similar faces, god-like expressions...... I stood in front of the door and squinted slightly.

"E-niang, you're awake. Honghui ran at me and stopped in front of me, his little face was illuminated by the light that had not dispersed in the sky, and he smiled innocently.

I wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, straightened my hat that was a little crooked, and saw Yinzhen coming over and handed over a red incense.

It seems that this is the first time I have lit the same firecracker with Yinzhen and Honghui, and it turned out to be in this col far away in the western suburbs, on such a night. There is also Su Changqing's family beside him, their happiness is simpler than ours, but the happiness at this time is the same, they all have vague regrets, and regrets that are slightly less complete.

Yan Yu is pregnant again, it has been more than three months, and she can't see it, Honghui will gently stroke, hoping that it is a younger brother. Yinzhen gave Agarwood a small longevity lock, Yan Yu hugged Agarwood with red eyes, knelt in front of Yinzhen and cried. Su Changqing's face couldn't bear it, but he also stood aside with his hands in the way of Yinzhen's face, looking at the candle on the table and not speaking.

I know that Yinzhen is grateful to them. For Honghui, they sacrificed a lot, but they took good care of Honghui. Even if he can no longer stay in Baylor House to be the envied eldest son, he is still alive, alive and well, and is still a son that we can see and touch.

Back in the room, Honghui held the thumb of his left hand and shook it in front of me, smiling proudly, "Eniang, look, Uncle Thirteen gave me a wrench." ”

Yin Zhen sat in the chair and tilted his head to look at us, silently drinking tea, caressing his white jade wrench.

From his white to Honghui's red, bright red, without a trace of impurities, very beautiful, it looks very festive for the New Year. I touched it gently with my fingers, warm and delicate, and couldn't help but ask Xiang Yinzhen, "This is what Yinxiang gave you just now?"

Yin Zhen nodded, got up and walked over to stand behind Honghui, and his palm naturally touched the back of his head.

Originally...... Yinxiang knew that Yinzhen was going to bring me here and wanted to come over together, but unfortunately Xiaoyan was pregnant, and I was afraid that I couldn't trek through mountains and rivers. Hongfei, I have starry eyes, the texture looks really good, don't you give me one for Mao? There is JQ! Absolutely! I jumped out of my mind the two brothers biting their ears again, and now I even added a little Honghui.

"E-niang. Honghui stroked the red wrench on his finger very lightly like his Amma, and his expression was still that little proud, "Uncle Thirteen said, when the weather is warm, come to teach me archery, and bring a shotgun." Uncle Thirteen also said...... Eniang's method of catching sparrows is used by women, and men are used with guns. ”

Depend on...... I really want to scold!

But when the Qing Dynasty inquired, there were a few people who had guns at home, and he was embarrassed to say! Could it be that those who don't have guns are not men? What is Yinzhen?

Back then, that broken gun was so rare that it was like a treasure, and it didn't let me touch it, but now it's used to fool my son and squeeze me, which is too much. In those days, who led me to catch sparrows with a sticky net, and who was it? Although we used □□ to beat them, more often than not, when we used them to eat, we still used sticky nets.

Could it be that Zhan Xiaoyan is a woman? Now his thirteenth master is indeed not what it used to be, but does he dare to admit what he did back then? I'm so angry!

It's just that...... Yinxiang's bad smile just now should be because of this sentence, it turned out to be hurting me! Yinzhen actually dared to laugh with him. Man...... No matter how serious it may seem, in fact, it's boring.

I barely squeezed out a smile, looked at Honghui nodded, and said pointedly: "Yes, Honghui is a man." ”

"Hmm. Honghui nodded his little head and took my hand with a more serious expression, "When Honghui grows up, protect Eniang." ”

The hand pressing on his head seemed to use some force, Honghui's neck shrank, and when he looked up again, he turned to Yinzhen behind him, and the corners of his lips showed a smile of understanding, a little cunning, "Ama protects Eniang, Honghui is filial to Ama and Eniang." ”
