82. Climb the mountain

After Honghui went home this time, he learned that Da Gege and Sangege were going to call him Eniang, and he smiled happily at the time. Pomegranate, who stayed in the house and didn't follow him to the palace, said with a smile, "Brother will go to see the sisters in a while, and the slave has prepared some handkerchief sachets that girls like, and Brother can just give them to them." As he spoke, he took out a stack of handkerchiefs and a few small and cute sachets.

It was the middle of September, when he was drinking realgar wine and playing with sachets, Honghui saw that the sachets were small and interesting, and after playing with them, he solemnly thanked Pomegranate: "Thank you sister for thinking about me." ”

Pomegranate's face turned red with excitement. She originally entered the mansion later, and even her name was inherited from the girl who left the mansion in Fujin. finally went to Brother's side to wait, and within a few years, Brother moved to the front yard to live, but she couldn't even stutter if she wanted to.

The sachet and handkerchief were carefully prepared by her own pocket, and seeing that Honghui was satisfied, she immediately told her about her origin one by one, her tongue was not bad, and Honghui felt that it was good.

Seeing that it was still early, he simply put it all in a box and handed it to the eunuch with him, ready to go to Fujin to say goodbye.

He rushed to the main courtyard, and Fu Jin was sitting next to Da Gege and Sangege.

Sangege and Hongyu are born for a year, but they seem to be a year younger than him. It is said that girls grow faster than boys, but she doesn't seem to know where to eat.

Seeing Honghui come in, Sangege stood up to greet him. Honghui saw Fujin and Da Gege, and then pulled Sangege to sit down together, took the box from the hands of the person behind him, opened it and put it on the kang table and said: "This is what my girl did, let's play with the big sister and the third sister." ”

Sangege stretched out his head to look at the box and said with a smile: "Thank you, big brother." But Da Gege took it and divided it into three parts, and said to Sangege: "Let's go, let's go to the second sister together." ”

Honghui realized that he had forgotten Ergege, and he was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Da Gege remembered to bring the words back.

After Da Gege led Sangege away, Honghui was about to talk to Fu Jin about going to the study, but Fu Jin actually asked him to go back to the front yard.

Fu Jin said: "Your eldest sister and third sister have just moved over, and their things haven't been packed yet." I have a lot of things to do here, so you can come back when you're free. If you're fine, go and play with Hongyu. ”

Honghui came in a hurry and went back disappointed. He couldn't figure out why Fu Jin didn't let him stay there and spend more time with her. If it is said that the situation in the house has changed again, Ama put Da Gege and Sangege under the name of Eniang, which clearly shows that he still believes in Eniang.

Maybe E-Niang is too busy.

Honghui did learn a lot when he went to the study, not only what Mr. said in the book, but also because he was ignorant when he was in the house, and he suddenly became enlightened after going out. For example, in the past, he only knew that Eniang was not as favored as Fujin on the side, but such a thing as wives and concubines competing for favor was rarely mentioned in front of him, and Fujin would not say it at all.

So although he knew that there was a side blessing in the house, he didn't understand what it meant. At most, Hongyu's status has improved, but his own brother, of course, is still looking forward to him. In the future, Hongyu went out, and the one raised by Gege was completely different from what was born by Fang Fujin.

He had thought before that Ama would give Hongyu to Eniang, and he also thought that after Hongyu moved to the main courtyard, he could live in a room with him. But at that time, he didn't think about what impact Hongyu would have on him if he changed it to Eniang, and he slowly figured it out by himself. Then, he felt that he understood that Li Gege Weishenme would be paid a side blessing.

In the upper study, what he learned most clearly was potential. In the upper study, the gentlemen are a force, and so are the students. Among the students, they were divided into the faction of the imperial uncles and the faction of their imperial grandchildren.

In the emperor's grandson faction, it is divided into the prince line and the direct county royal line.

In short, in addition to reading in the upper study, Honghui is learning to be a man as Ama said. How to be a person, how to stand, how to keep your heart, and stand tall.

Honghui is currently a neutral faction and leans towards the prince's line.

The end of thinking about this every day is that he also begins to look at the big and small in the house with new eyes.

Before he entered the study, he was still worried that Eniang was weaker than Fang Fujin, and now that Da Gege and Sangege have been changed to Eniang's name, the momentum in this house should be reversed. There is only one him under Eniang's name, although he is the eldest son, but he also clearly shows that Eniang is not favored.

Now it's good. E-Niang has two more daughters, he has more sisters, and he no longer has to feel that he is alone in front of Hongyu.

Hongyu has a sister and a brother, and he has always been very envious.

In the east courtyard, Da Gege and Sangege came over together, but the three girls played in the house for a while, and then went to the garden together. Li Wei felt like she was watching a dream of red mansions, and asked Yuyan, who was waiting with her: "What are the three Geges playing in the garden?" "To poetry, to paint?

"Gege, they're pumping tops." Yuyan said with a smile, "I also let people put up grass targets, and after a while, I will see who shoots more." ”

What a Manchu girl......

Thinking of the things in the house in the past two days, especially the affairs of the Song family, Li Wei always had a feeling of pity for Da Gege and Sangege. It's a high status to change the mother, but the mother and the adoptive mother are by no means the same thing. Song is a little confused, a bit like a modern tiger father and tiger mother, I don't know how to love my child, and I love my child badly.

Li Wei knew that two mothers raised their children badly. At that time, it was particularly popular to give children a variety of oral liquids to develop brain power, and these two mothers gave their children to drink from an early age. As a result, a boy who became short and fat when he grew up found that JJ was small, and went to the hospital to find out that J□J was also underdeveloped. It's a thunderbolt for the whole family.

The other is a girl, who also drank and became pubby, and menstruated at the age of seven. The height of the junior high school body was tested, and her bones and joints closed too early, only one meter five.

Song is the same, thinking about Haode for the child, but he doesn't know what is good. Li Wei is not incomprehensible, many people are parents for the first time, and there is no academic qualification to take the test, and there will be no school to teach people how to be parents. Everyone is groping for how to raise a child from the moment they give birth to a child, and then ......

Even if Li Wei gave birth to three, she was confused when she asked her to say how to raise children. Seeing that the second grid was getting bigger and bigger, the fourth master began to pick her mother-in-law's house, and she was shocked to realize that they were all so big? But she didn't teach her anything.

She can't wait to keep Ergege in her arms and raise her for another seventeen or eighteen years before getting married.

The thought of letting her live in a completely strange family was terrified.

In the evening, after the fourth master came back, Li Wei pinched her shoulders with tea and grinded ink, and offered a night of courtesy before tentatively asking if she could let Ergege marry later.

The fourth master put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "What else do you have to worry about?" He thought about it all night, did Li Wenbi want to stay in a different place? How many small members of the Li family want to have a future?

Li Wenbi can indeed be transferred out of the Hanlin Academy. He had been there for a few years and was ready to be sent out. The fourth master is still thinking about where to throw him. Su Su's younger brothers will see if they can read it first, and it is easy to speak only when they have a background.

"The emperor's princesses are all eighteen, nine, and almost twenty years old before they get married, and our house is naturally the same. What's more, marrying early allows children to go out and endure hardships? Of course, it is to raise them for a few more years and teach them more things to let them out. ”

The fourth master put his arm around her, "Besides, in a few years, I will earn a county king, and the children will marry and marry, and their faces will look better." ”

The fourth master's current goal is actually just a county king, and Li Wei feels very complicated.

But the king of the county is a piece of cake. Li Wei thought it was no problem at all, and directly skipped it and asked the fourth master: "Then when the time comes, we will give the children a more generous dowry, right?" ”

The fourth master laughed: "You're starting to think about marrying?" Rich, much more abundant, of course. Seeing that she was going to make a list of papers now, he said in his heart, if he is not the king of the county, he will not be able to do it, otherwise the marriage of several daughters will not be able to come out.

Listing the list, Li Wei said: "It's not cold or hot now, when is the master free, take the children out to run and run horses, and relax." She stopped and looked up, "There have been more things in the house recently, and even if the children don't know the reason, they will inevitably be affected." It would be better to be able to relax. ”

The fourth master calculated the time, could stagger it, and said: "Chongyang September Ascending Day, let's not run horses, let's go climb the mountain." ”

"Huh?" Li Wei said in her heart: Isn't it?

However, the fourth master said that he was going to climb the mountain, and his mobility was first-class. Because he had to rush before Honghui returned to the palace, he took his family the next day.

In the past, when running horses, the fourth master would ask Fu Jin if he wanted to go with him. Fu Jin always refused, but this time he didn't even ask.

After the fourth master left with the children in the mansion and the Li family, Fu Jin suddenly felt that the surroundings were empty as if there was no one.

The fourth master didn't ask her about Da Gege wearing small shoes, but just asked her to move the Song family to a farther place, and then informed her that Da Gege and Sangege would be changed to her name this year.

He didn't reproach, and she couldn't plead guilty.

Mama Zhuang brought her a bowl of tea and persuaded: "Why don't Fu Jin bow his head to the master through Brother Honghui's mouth?" "It's not a big deal, and it doesn't look like I'm annoyed when I look at the fourth master, didn't I even say a word to the Song family? It's just a few people who have been punished.

Fu Jin smiled and shook his head: "I'm already like this, don't bother Honghui." "The fourth master doesn't punish the Song family, where is he not angry? It's just that for the sake of Da Gege and Sangege, I am afraid that I will punish their biological mother and hurt their faces. In order to punish Song Gege, it would be worth the loss to hurt the father-daughter relationship between the fourth master and Da Gege and Sangege.

Move a yard farther away, this is not seeing her at all, and she is not allowed to zaijian two children.

As for herself, Fu Jin really doesn't know if it's for Honghui's sake. Is it afraid that Honghui's biological mother neglected her daughter? It's still for the balance of the house and not to hurt her face as a blessing.

But that's not the end of the story. The fourth master was not punished, but it was not time. Fujin was in a panic all day long, and everyone lost a lot of weight. The fourth master and her are the king, the sky above her head, and the master who holds all the honor and disgrace of her net worth.

Fujin is strange, isn't the Li family afraid of the fourth master? She was so scared that she wanted to kneel down immediately when he snorted coldly.

Is the fourth master different in front of her?

Fu Jin really couldn't understand that except for the Li family, the other women in the mansion were all respectful and afraid when they saw the fourth master.

In the car, Li Wei took Sangege and Sange and Sangege, and listened to them guessing which mountain to climb.

Don't look at the haste of this trip, from last night when the fourth master said that he wanted to climb the mountain to this morning, it was only a few hours, and the fourth master had already arranged it properly.

Now there are only a few mountains near the capital that can make a day trip.

One is located in the inner city of Jingshan, near. Xiangshan, good scenery. Now September is the time for mountains and water, and trees and flowers are lush and lush. You can enjoy the flowers and see the scenery. There is also a Miaofeng Mountain, the mountain is high and worth climbing, and there are several spiritual temples on the mountain that you can worship and taste the food in the temple.

The fourth master had to sell a pass, and he didn't even say anything about her.

The mule cart drove all the way out of the city, gradually leaving behind the bustling markets.

After walking for most of the day, Li Wei knew where they were going. Unexpectedly, the fourth master chose Miaofeng Mountain.

In the car, Sangege was feeding the third elder brother, and Sangege still looked childish, but the young lady was decent. Li Wei just sighed when she looked at it, compared to her, not to mention the three-year-old third elder brother, Hongyu, who was the same age as Sangege, seemed a little naïve. From getting in the car to the present, Sangege has not made any requests, he will play with the third elder brother, and he will talk to her tentatively, which is distressing to be well-behaved.

When he went out this time, the fourth master didn't let people bring too many people. Sangege only brought a nurse and sat in the car behind. That's probably why she's so good at looking at eye color?

Li Wei can only sigh that adversity produces talents. She spoils her children too much, so she raises them so much that she is a little lacking in heart from Ergege to Hongyu to the third elder brother.

The car arrived at Miaofeng Mountain in the afternoon, and the fourth master said at this time that he planned to play outside for two days. I'll stay in the mountains tonight, and I'll leave tomorrow morning to go back.

In order to climb the mountain, Li Wei deliberately changed into convenient clothes and did not wear any jewelry on her head. Everyone changed the shoes on the soles of the thousands of miles, and the fourth master specially asked people to prepare a soft sedan chair, and told Li Wei to take a good look at a few girls, saying: "Don't be reluctant if you can't climb, sit in a sedan chair when you're tired." ”

Li Wei looked at Da Gege, who had just put his feet on his feet for two days, and the three Gege, like Sister Lin, nodded, and said, "Master, just rest assured." ”

Ergege saw that the fourth master was going to take a few younger brothers to the front, and jumped up. Da Gege saw that he was about to shout, and before he could say anything, he glanced at Fang Fujin on the side, and saw that she didn't care, as if she didn't see it, he hesitated for a while and swallowed the words back.

Duoshou, the personal girl on the side, helped her and said, "Gege pay attention to your feet." ”

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Li Wei summoned a soft sedan chair, and didn't ask the two girls if they could still go, and directly said to the girl who was waiting for them: "Help you Gege get on the sedan chair." ”

Then I sat down first.

With her with her, Sangege, who originally wanted to continue to hold on, was almost paralyzed as soon as he sat on the sedan chair. Looking at the not very long road, she could still see the foot of the mountain when she turned around, but she was very tired. It was the first time she had worn such clogs, and after walking for a while, she felt that her feet were so heavy that she couldn't lift them.

The sedan chair carried it quickly, and soon caught up with the fourth master.

The fourth master was holding a branch in his hand, and several other people were holding a handful of unknown wild flowers and weeds in their hands. Ergege, the crazy girl, saw the sedan chair coming up, and hurriedly said, "I want to sit too!" "The legs are sore." ”

She was holding a handful of frangipani flowers in her hand, and Hongyu was also in her hand, and the two of them were sent to Li Wei and argued: "It's over there!" ”

"It's a big one!"

The fourth master turned around and smiled, and shouted to Honghui and Hongyu: "Hurry up, Ama won't wait for you." ”

The two little ones hurriedly ran a few steps forward, but they stepped one step, and the fourth master crossed two steps at a time, and no matter how fast the calves were, they couldn't compare to the long legs of the fourth master.

Ergege sat on the sedan chair and relaxed, asked the girl to give her tea, and said while drinking: "I'm tired from climbing the mountain." I don't get tired after playing at home for an hour, and I can't stand it when I come here and crawl for a while. ”

She sat high, saw far away, and shouted at Hongyu: "Hongyu! Hongyi! Then he urged the sedan man, "Quick, go ahead of them!" ”

The sedan chair man carried her and ran in front of the four masters, she waved to them backwards, and encouraged Hongyu: "Climb quickly!" There it is! I'm about to overtake Amma! ”

Climbing the mountain is based on strength. The fourth master didn't let Honghui and Hongyu stop to rest, and wanted them to climb to the end in one go. When you are tired, take a walk and enjoy the scenery around you.

The higher I climbed, I could see the path they had taken. Hongyu couldn't help but stop, looking at the slender road like a white ribbon, and it was gradually impossible to see where it stretched in the distance. Further on, the majestic Forbidden City sits there.

He pointed to the road and asked the fourth master, "Amma, what is that?" ”

"That's the official way." The fourth master pointed and told him, "From the south to the front, from the north to the south." Only post horses, the army, the emperor's relatives and ministers who went out of Beijing could take that road. ”

Hongyu asked rhetorically: "Where are the people going?" ”

The fourth master smiled: "Except for the official road, go with them anywhere else." ”

Hongyu nodded ignorantly. He was even more strange: "Why is the official road so detailed?" ”

The fourth master smiled, touched his head and said, "I'll teach you when I go home." The farther you look, the smaller it gets, and the closer you look, the bigger it gets. ”

"The capital is very big." Hongyu pointed to the faintly visible Forbidden City and said, even if you look at it here, it is terrifying.

Ergege said on the soft sedan chair: "It's really in front of the city gate, we can't even see the city wall." ”

"Really?" Hongyu was curious, "Amma, let me see when you go back, okay?" ”

The fourth master promised him that he would definitely let him see it then, and then said, "Have you rested enough?" Hurry up and climb to a place where we can stay before dark, or we'll have to sleep in the mountains. ”

Just before the sun set, they arrived at the temple where they were staying. Honghui was hugged by the fourth master halfway to the sedan chair and did not let him climb again, only Honghui was encouraged by the fourth master to follow all the time, and when he arrived in the temple, he was so tired that he slept without eating, or the eunuch who followed him scrubbed and changed his clothes.

The fourth master told the eunuch to remember to massage Honghui, so as not to get up tomorrow with sore body.

Although the temple is large, it is not a temple that receives ordinary pilgrims. Li Wei sat in a sedan chair from beginning to end, not tired at all, so she let the small temple monks lead her into the hall to burn incense and worship the Buddha.

She was kneeling and begging the Buddha to bless the family with peace, and the fourth master came in and knelt down, compared to her half-tone who believed in Buddhism, the fourth master knelt down with a solemn expression, which made people unconsciously hold their breath and dare not disturb him.

When he opened his eyes, Li Wei's legs were numb.

The jade bottle hurriedly came up to help her up, and the fourth master reached out and pulled her, and said with a smile: "You have been reading the scriptures for a few years, why haven't you been dyed with a little Buddha nature?" Quickly ask the Buddha not to blame. ”

Li Wei had no choice but to fold her hands together and recite a few more words of Amitabha.

When I got back to the house, I fetched my feet in hot water. The rice is good, there are fried tofu, stewed winter melon, vegetarian fried cocoon, mushroom greens, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus.

It's strange to wash up and change clothes before eating.

The fourth master came over and sat down and said, "I don't know which person it is, it's gone in a blink of an eye, I don't eat, and I don't change my clothes." He picked up his chopsticks and nodded outside: "What time is it?" ”

Li Wei bribed him with an osmanthus lotus root, and said with a smile: "It's time for supper." ”

The fourth master shook his head and smiled helplessly, picked up the osmanthus lotus root in the saucer and took a bite, pulling out a long silk.

The next day, when he got up early in the morning, the fourth master took everyone to the mountains to watch the sunrise. When the golden sunlight shone through the branches of the trees in the forest, even Sangege, who had been cautious, smiled happily, so that she looked like a child.

After breakfast, the group hurried down the mountain and returned to the capital. Honghui will go back to the palace early tomorrow morning, and the time really can't be delayed.

Rushing to the city gate before evening, the fourth master asked Hongyu to get out of the car and pointed out to him: "This is the city gate." "Hongyu stood in front of the tall city gate, his neck sore and looked at the high city gatehouse, and the city walls on the left and right sides stretched out.

He looked left and right and sighed, "It's so long......" I really can't see the edge.

The fourth master carried him into the car and said with a smile: "You are still young." ”
