April is the season of lukewarm. Yuxi had a rare free day this day, and took a few children to the garden for a walk after dinner.

Walking to the lake, Liu Er smiled and said, "Mother, let's go and sit in the pavilion!" The most visited gardener is none other than Liu'er. Everyone else is busy, but Liu Er is relatively idle.

Yuxi nodded.

A gust of wind blows, and the catkins by the lake fly in the air, like graceful butterflies, swirling and falling lightly in the golden halo of the sunset, floating in the lake.

Liu Er tilted her head sideways and said, "Mother, eldest sister, I recently learned a new tune, do you want to listen to it?"

Yuxi happened to have time today, and he didn't want to sweep Liu Er's interest: "Okay." "Liu Er now spends half of her time with Qu's mother taking care of housework every day, and the rest of the time is still on music. As long as Liu Er is not intoxicated, Yuxi will naturally not stop her.

Brother You is not interested in listening to the piano and other elegant things: "Mother, I still have homework to finish, I'll go back to writing my homework first." "For Youge'er, instead of wasting time listening to the piano, it is better to finish your homework early and go to bed early.

Seeing this, Brother Rui also hurriedly said: "Yes, mother, Mr. has assigned a lot of homework today, and we have to go back to write it as soon as possible." Otherwise, there will be no time to practice later. ”

The corners of Brother You'er's mouth twitched, since his mother told the second brother the story of the stupid bird flying first, the second brother used all the time to practice as if he was a demon. If he is like this, forget it, he has to pull himself and the third brother. Brother You'er, that's really a stomach full of bitter water, and there's nowhere to say it!

Brother Xuan wanted to stay and listen to the music, but under the threat of Brother You'er's eyes, he could only say against his will: "Yes! Mr. has a lot of homework assigned today, and if you don't do it early, you will write it late." ”

Zao Zao didn't want to listen to any piano music, and said, "Mother, Liu'er, I'll go to Grandpa's with Ah Hao later." ”

Liu Er saw that none of them were cheering, and lowered her head sadly.

Yuxi waved it and said, "Go ahead!"

After everyone left, Yuxi looked at Liu'er with an aggrieved face and said, "If your eldest sister says that they want to practice for you, will you want to see it?"

Liu Er was silent and said, "I'll watch it." ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "But you don't really want to see it in your heart, because you don't like it." Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and since you are not interested in what they do, you can't force them to like what you like. ”

Liu Er raised her head and said, "Mother, I know." Not only did they not like what he did, but they were not interested in what she said. Although Liu Er was sad, she also knew that it was different because of their preferences. So I can't talk about a piece.

The piano was quickly fetched, and Liu Er played the newly learned song "Autumn River Night Park" to Yuxi.

Yuxi looked at Liu'er, who was fully engaged, and couldn't help but think of Yuchen. I think when she started learning the flute, Yuchen could already play many songs. For so many years, Yuxi deliberately forgot about the people and things in the capital. However, there are some people and things that are destined to be impossible to forget.

After Liu Er finished talking, she saw that Yuxi was still in a daze, and couldn't help but shout: "Mother, mother......"

Yuxi came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It plays very well." "No more evaluations, no more. This can't be helped, Yuxi is not good at music, and she can't say why she wants to exaggerate.

Liu Er's eyes showed a touch of disappointment.

Meilan came over and said, "Princess, the things that the prince asked him to bring back from Fuyang have arrived. "This is the spoils of Fuyang.

Back in the front yard, Xu Wu handed the list to Yuxi to look at. Yuxi looked at it and said, "It's not bad." "It's all good things that are worth their money.

Xu Wu said with a smile: "These are just small heads, the big ones are Jinling and Qiantang." When the things from these two places are brought back, the silver vault will definitely not be able to put it down. "Fighting a war is eating money, and Yuxi has really racked his brains to raise money in recent years. Occupy Jiangnan, and the princess doesn't have to worry about money anymore for the time being.

Yuxi smiled and said, "The faster this money comes, the faster it goes." "After Jiangnan is defeated, Yunqing will send troops to attack the Northern Captivity again. When the time comes, it will have to be a huge expense. If it was according to Yuxi's idea, the attack on the Northern Captivity should be put after the decisive battle with Yan Wushuang. But this is Yunqing's dream, and she can't stop it, and she can't stop it.

Xu Wu said: "Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, and with Jiangnan's taxes in the future, the money should no longer be as tight as before." The princess won't have to live so hard in the future. He felt that his daughter-in-law was doing better than Yuxi. His daughter-in-law makes several sets of clothes and jewelry every season, but Yuxi's clothes and jewelry are only a few. The thrifty made him a little overwhelmed.

Yuxi smiled: "If the prince hears what you say, he will probably whip you." "Saying that she is having a hard time doesn't mean that Yunqing's husband is incompetent!

Xu Wu knew that Yuxi was joking, but he didn't care.

Yuxi thought for a while and asked, "Is my third sister okay in Yanwang's Mansion?" She never took the initiative to ask about Yuchen, and she naturally wouldn't say it if she didn't ask Xu Wu.

Xu Wu was a little surprised, but quickly said, "Concubine Han is doing well in Yanwang's Mansion. Her children are also very smart, especially her daughter Hengyu County Lord is very favored by Yan Wushuang. ”

Yuxi nodded and said, "It's good to have a good time." With Yuchen's appearance and talent, even a man can't be ruthless with her. However, Yuxi also knew that what Xu Wu said was only superficial. From the queen of the mother's world to the point of being a concubine with someone, and when her son is still born to her today, how can Yuchen really live well.

Xu Wu hesitated and asked, "Princess, is there anything wrong?" Otherwise, why did he ask about Concubine Han in a dignified manner!

Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's nothing. ”

Xu Wu didn't continue to ask, but talked about Yuwenhe: "Princess, we have also agreed to the conditions of the Li family, but there has been no movement for so long. Princess, do you think something will happen?"

Yuwen He is indeed the son of Yuwen Nanqing's original match. Yuwenhe entered the barracks eight years ago, but his name was Zhou Buyong at that time, not Yuwenhe. And this was all done by Yuwen Nanqing without telling the Li family. Li Shi knew that she would hate it in the future, but now that Yuwen Nanqing was full-fledged, she couldn't help the other party at all. At this time, people from the Yuxi faction came to the door.

The Li family promised to help Yuxi get rid of Yuwenhe, but after the matter was completed, Yuxi was asked to ensure that she and her children were prosperous and wealthy and the status of the Li family remained unchanged. Yuxi readily agreed to these two conditions.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "This matter is not urgent. "Li is a smart person, she proposed to keep the status of the Li family unchanged, just to seek her mother's helper. The Li family is a prominent family in Tanzhou, with many in-laws, and the power in the officialdom and the army is even more complicated. As long as the Li family convinces the head of the Li family, this matter has already been successful.

Yuxi picked four large boxes from a pile of loot and brought them back to the inner courtyard, and asked several children to come over. Yuxi said: "These are sent back by your father, you can pick and take the ones you like." "Picking things, in their house, from big to small, there is no such thing as Kong Rong making pears.

Zao Zao glanced at it, and found that he was not interested, so he stepped forward and picked two random things and threw them to the maid next to him.

Liu Er looked at the delicate jewelry and those intricate embroideries and brocades, and didn't know how to choose. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Er chose a box of four sapphires and a picture of a beautiful woman's spring trip. The reason why I didn't ask for those jewelry was because Liu Er didn't like to use other people's old things.

Brother Hao was also not interested in these things, and asked, "Mother, didn't Dad send books back this time?" Their family's collection of books is too small, which has always been a regret in his heart.

Yuxi smiled and said, "The books didn't arrive so quickly. "Books are so precious that they should be sorted out and then packed, otherwise they will be easily damaged.

Those soldiers were illiterate, and they used to rob only gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuable things. As for books, which are worthless in their eyes, they naturally throw away and destroy them at will. However, Yunqing had an order to collect books this time, so he didn't destroy much. Of course, if you want to ship the books back to Pickaxe City, you must have to go through layers of screening.

Brother Hao smiled and randomly selected a set of Moyu's study utensils.

Brother Rui said a little depressedly: "Why didn't Dad find a sword that sharpens like clay like the eldest sister this time?"

Zao Zao knocked on Brother Rui'er's head, and said with a smile: "The sword you should sharpen iron like clay is the cabbage in the market, and it can be found everywhere." "This thing is hard to find.

Brother Rui touched his head that was knocked a little painfully and said with a smile: "Mother, you tell your father, let him get me and Ah Xuan and Ah You a few daggers as good as the eldest sister." ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "You'd better write to your father about this matter yourself." When the time comes, your father will find you what suits your heart. "Although Yunqing is strict with the triplets, he loves them no less than Zao Zao and Ah Hao. If you know that the triplets want a good weapon, they will definitely bother to find it.

Brother Rui'er's head shrank: "Mother, my words are not good-looking." If my father had read my letter, he would have beaten me again when he came back. "The words of the three brothers are the worst in Brother Rui'er.

Although Brother Xuan is not interested in weapons, he is very brotherly: "I'll write it!" Brother Xuan'er's handwriting is upright, not as ugly as Brother Rui'er, nor as incomprehensible as Brother You'er's.

Brother Rui smiled and picked something at random, and said to Brother You'er: "Ah Xuan, it's your turn!"

Brother Xuan likes the exquisitely crafted study utensils here, and he picked out more than ten kinds. After picking up, Brother Xuan looked at a bunch of things and was a little dumbfounded: "Why did I pick so much?"

Brother You was speechless and said, "It doesn't matter if you move back to the house now." After speaking, Brother You looked at Yuxi and said, "Mother, am I right?"

Yuxi smiled and said, "Ayou is right. "These things are made of good materials, but the craftsmanship is better. Not to mention that she wouldn't spend the money to make such delicate things, even if she was willing to do it without a craftsman in Pickaxe City.

When Liu Er heard this, a look of chagrin flashed in her eyes.

After everyone finished picking out things, Zao Zao said: "Mother, don't make clothes for me this time! My clothes are enough to wear, no need to do anything extra, waste." "There is a reason why Zao Zao said this. Every time Yunqing came back from sending something, Yuxi would make clothes for their sister and brother. Originally, there were eight sets of clothes per season, and then where could I wear them. She's growing her body again, and she won't be able to wear it this year until next year. Every time Zao Zao looks at the clothes that the maid picked up, he feels that it is too wasteful!

Yuxi looked at Zaozao's royal blue short clothes, and said angrily: "The clothes I made for you are really a waste." "Jujube likes jujube red and blue. However, Yuxi thinks that she doesn't look good in jujube red, so half of the clothes in jujube are blue, but there are more types.

Zao Zao said happily: "Then don't do it." It just so happens that our family is short of money, so we can save it. Zao Zao is not a person who doesn't listen to things outside the window, and there is nothing she doesn't know about things at home and outside.

Yuxi said with a smile: "No matter how short of money you are, there is no shortage of money for you to make clothes." Speaking of which, the six children in the family were all affected by Yunqing and Yuxi, and they are not the kind of extravagant and wasteful people.

Back in her yard, Liu Er looked at this exquisite painting and embroidery, and Liu Er felt a little regretful. She really liked these things, but she didn't pick them up at the time. If you know it earlier, you won't be reserved, you should pick a few more things.

When she was sleeping at night, Yuxi said to Grandma Quan with some worry: "Mama, this child Liu'er always acts with caution now. Yuxi knew that Liu'er would be like this because of the sequelae of her ruthless hand.

Although Mama Quan was also distressed, she still said: "Princess, there will be gains and losses." Liu'er is like this now, better than before. At least Liu'er now knows that her parents and siblings will not indulge her unlimitedly.

Yuxi smiled bitterly: "Looking at Liu Er like that, I don't feel good in my heart. "Sometimes, Yuxi doesn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.

Quan Mama said: "Princess, just let Liu'er know that you still love her as much as before, it's fine." The rest, it's up to Liu Er herself. ”

Yuxi shook his head and said: "Children's affairs are more tiring than government affairs. "It's useless to punish lightly, and if the punishment is heavy, it will leave sequelae, it's really difficult!

After Liu Er finished practicing the piano in the morning, she saw her maid Peony coming over with a smile and said, "County Lord, the princess asked someone to send a box of things. ”

There was a brocade under the box, and two boxes on it. One of the boxes holds fine jewelry, and the other holds embroidery.

Seeing this, Peony smiled and said, "The princess must know that the county lord likes these embroideries, so she specially asked people to send so many of them." County Lord, the princess still loves you very much. ”

Liu Er smiled and said, "Mother naturally loves me." ”

As soon as she saw these embroideries, Liu Er's eyes didn't blink. After half a ring, Liu Er couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful." "These embroideries are all Suzhou embroidery, with a variety of stitches, fine embroidery and elegant color matching. The embroidery is not single, there are people, pets, flowers and birds, as well as landscapes and buildings. The buildings above are all made of strong Jiangnan characteristics.

Peony looked at the double-sided peony embroidery that was already on the table next to her, and said with a smile: "The slave thinks that these embroideries are not as good as the princess. ”

Liu Er said with a smile: "This is double-sided embroidery, and there are very few people who can embroider double-sided embroidery." "There is no comparison between the two at all.

After reading the embroidery, Liu Er looked at the jewelry. Liu Er looked at these exquisitely crafted jewelry, and couldn't help but say: "The craftsmen over there in Jiangnan are much stronger than those in Pickaxe City." ”
