Chapter 284: The Study

It has been more than half a month since he returned to Beijing, and Chu Zhaohui has only entered the palace twice in the past few days, and he has sat in front of the Queen Mother for less than half an hour. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

only cared about his own sadness and sadness, lost Su Rui, and it seemed that even Emperor Chongming and Empress Chu were sorry for themselves, and seeing that the two of them were blindly cautious, Chu Zhaohui became more and more uncomfortable.

Because of some disagreements with his son, except for his son's routine greetings in the morning and evening, neither of them was willing to talk deeply, and only maintained the apparent mother's kindness and filial piety, and Chu Zhaohui also seriously cared about his son's diet and daily life.

Even if the son has some thoughts in his heart, it is still the meat that fell from under his body. Chu Zhaohui felt sorry for him, and couldn't help but ask Concubine Xin carefully: "Seeing that Du Han has been busy these days, he can't sit still even for half an hour when he comes to invite An, is his daily meal okay?"

Concubine Xin replied truthfully: "The prince still added some seasonal fresh vegetables and fruits according to the previous rules. Nowadays, I mostly dine with Mr. Guangfu. The concubine looked at the meals that were removed every day, and the prince was about a little bitter summer, and the food was slightly reduced. ”

The son has never said bitter summer, I am afraid that Concubine Xin will not dare to say that her son's food has been reduced, so she chose this excuse. Thinking that his son is older, he hides his heart but is unwilling to tell himself, but relies more on this Mr. Guangfu.

Although he is a close relative, this clan uncle is separated from him by the heart, remembering the unwillingness of the juniors in the Su family's old mansion, Chu Zhaohui always has some indescribable estrangement. I don't know whether I am happy or sad in my heart, but I only think that if my husband is alive, it will be a different situation.

The mother and son gradually drifted apart, Chu Zhaohui suppressed the pain in his heart, and carefully instructed: "The weather is hot, and it is not an exaggeration to reduce the food. Shizi likes to drink salty porridge, so he instructed the small kitchen to send some supper and porridge to Shizi every night to nourish his body. ”

Concubine Xin responded one by one, and saw that Chu Zhaohui's expression was always sorrowful, and the dark blue shawl hung on her body as thick as a mountain, so that she couldn't breathe.

The gauze fan in her hand shook for a while, and Concubine Xin should relieve the stagnant atmosphere, and planned to retire after finishing the last thing: "If Madame has no other instructions, the concubine will send the princess's congratulatory gift into the palace in the afternoon." Tomorrow, the sixth day of the sixth month of June, is usually the day when the treasury is opened in the house. Taking advantage of the fine sun, the concubine took someone to sort out the treasury, and finished the year's work. ”

On the sixth day of June every year, the people have the habit of drying clothes, and the palace of King An also chose this day to clean up the treasury and dry the books. In the past, the warehouse in the back yard was opened, brocade, jewelry, antiques, and furniture were piled up all over the yard, and the girl and the mother-in-law were tidying up around a lot, and they were registered in the register, which was busy and lively, and it seemed to be popular.

Chu Zhaohui was in good spirits in those years, and often took Mingzhu's hand, went to the backyard to see the excitement, and picked up some things that were not commonly used to appreciate people. This year, I was alone, and I lost all my previous interest, thinking that I would entrust Concubine Xin to do it.

wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but Chu Zhaohui suddenly thought of her husband's study, which never allowed outsiders to enter or leave.

In previous years, if the husband returned home, he would choose a sunny day and ask the old housekeeper to accompany him to clean up the house and dry the books. Because her husband said it himself, there were too many military secrets involved in the study, and no one was allowed to enter or leave that courtyard, and it was inconvenient for her to enter even more tactfully.

Chu Zhaohui was not a person with a small belly, nor did he have a strong curiosity. Her husband told her so much, and she naturally guarded the door for her husband. Except for the old housekeeper who led a small servant to sweep the courtyard, no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Now I think that my husband is gone, but I can't let that study be dusted. Chu Zhaohui wanted to clean it up tomorrow and convert it into his own study in the next room, leaving everything outside as his husband.

Except for the main courtyard, the husband spends most time in the study, and every table and chair is contaminated with the breath of the husband. If you sit in that sunny room and read and look at the whole room, you can be regarded as seeing things and thinking about people, and you are closer to your husband.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhaohui said to Concubine Xin: "The things in the warehouse are all registered, and the checks are made once a year, and it is not short, so let Mingzhu lead a few useful housekeepers to do it tomorrow." You follow me to the general's outer study and take an inventory of the books. In the inner room, I want to make a partition, add a table and chairs, and occasionally go in and sit. ”

Keep the study, there will be a thought, the lady is reluctant to give up the general's place, this is to be closer to the general. Xin Mei naturally understood what Chu Zhaohui meant, and also understood her feelings, the two made an appointment, and Concubine Xin went to arrange for entering the palace.

However, it was said that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Ge's old mansion was full of joy, and after the eldest grandson Sheng's brother, the eldest daughter-in-law Liu gave birth to a second grandson of seven catties and eight taels.

At that time, Murong Wei was not in Beijing, but after returning to the palace, she heard about it from Murong Hui. The old man's house was very lively on the day of washing, and the uncle has now become a hot minister, the second cousin has received the post of Huaizhou prefect, and the eldest cousin and sister-in-law gave birth to the second grandson of the Chen family, which can be described as a rich and prosperous family.

On that day, the queen mother came with her younger sister, and sent Aunt Qin to send rich gifts in advance, which gave enough face to the old mansion, and also showed the heart of the imperial court to support the Chen family.

The fifth day of the sixth month is the full moon of the child, Chen Rujun and his wife discussed, in order to cherish the blessing of the child, but also to avoid publicity, just want their relatives to have a reunion dinner behind closed doors, and never mention the matter of holding a full moon wine for the child outside.

Chen Fu's wish is certainly good, but now that he is a new upstart in Beijing, how many people want to cling to it. A few days ago, the person who gave the child a full moon gift broke through the lintel again.

The icing on the cake is from time to time, and there are a few people who can send charcoal in the snow. In the past few years, Murong Ling has returned to his hometown with Chen Rujun, and he has seen through the warmth and coldness of the world, and he has also learned some human feelings.

Murong Ling let go of his usual coldness and greeted all the guests who came and went. But all the more valuable gifts were not rejected in the past, but were all registered in the book, and the steward was ordered to find an opportunity to return them.

In this way, the old mansion is full of guests, and the guests and hosts are happy.

Empress Chu had made up her mind earlier to make a faΓ§ade for her eldest sister again, and looked at the trend of cooking oil on the old mansion of Chen Ge, but she was afraid that the old mansion would be hated, so she dispelled the idea again. He instructed Qin Yao to prepare a rich gift and handed over this task to the two Murong Wei sisters.

Thinking of Liu's hard work, afraid that she would hurt her body by labor, Queen Chu specially told her not to kneel down and thank Liu. Mama Luo and Mama Yu, two old and serious people, accompanied each other, looked at their daughter not to mess around, and repeatedly told the two baby bumps to go early and return early, so as not to make my aunt angry, and not to disturb my eldest cousin's rest.

It was because she wanted to doze off that someone sent a pillow, and Queen Chu's words were like timely rain, and Murong Wei, who wanted to go out of the palace and go to the Chen family, was overjoyed.
