Chapter 41: The Southern Tour
Han Qing is a little unhappy these days because she has started to change her teeth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the brothers are not at home, the sisters are not considerate, and there is no such annoyance of being laughed at by children. But after going through the mental journey of talking again, no one can understand the inexplicable melancholy!
Every time she shows her little teeth, from her grandmother to her mother-in-law who sweeps the yard, everyone has a relieved look on her face! Doctor Chu also breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he was relieved to see that she would change her teeth, as if he was afraid that she would grow into a little monster.
So Han Qing recently likes to make a cold appearance with a straight face, and it is easy not to smile without showing her teeth. As long as he had nothing to do, he stayed in the small kitchen of the Lingxi Courtyard and studied eating and drinking. It turned out that since he planted the seeds sent by Chu Yuan and found out that it was papaya, Han Qing became a little interested in the ingredients that were of the same origin as medicine and food, and asked Divine Doctor Chu to come with a lot of recipes for dietary therapy.
On this day, Han Qing personally carried a Huanghuali food box, and a few maids in the peach blossom behind him followed with a number of food boxes, and the group walked through the verandah to Ruizhen Hall. As the heavy rain gradually stopped, the Xie family's mansion was thriving green, and the washed branches and leaves were so green that they seemed to be dripping water, and they could smell the verdant fragrance while walking.
"A-Qing made another new thing today, please taste it for grandmother and aunt." After entering Ruizhen Hall and meeting Pei's and Cui's families, Han Qing pursed her lips and held a delicate noble girl's style, and she didn't do that stupid and sweet cuteness anymore.
Pei Shi and Cui Shi looked at her funny, and they didn't break it, they both turned their eyes to the food box. Bailu stepped forward and lifted the lid of the food box, revealing two white-glazed high-footed porcelain cups with a dark carved camellia pattern, and brought the two porcelain cups to Pei's and Cui's respectively.
The two opened the lid of the cup, and a refreshing fragrance of flowers and fruits came to their nostrils. Cui Shi looked at the agate-like crystal clear food, and couldn't help but praise, "Aqing is becoming more and more capable now, look at this clear color, this fragrant taste, and this coagulation effect, how is it made in a hot day?" ”
"This is jelly, which is frozen by agar made from unicorn vegetables, which is made of rose juice, cherry pulp, rock sugar and honey, and the hot juice is only slightly chilled to achieve this effect."
The two of them scooped and ate a bite with a small spoon, not to mention the fragrant mouthful, the cold and lubricated taste disappeared all at once, and they couldn't help but be amazed.
"The soup and water that Aqing made recently, I felt that my body bones were more comfortable after eating, which shows that the dietary therapy prescription that Dr. Chu asked for is very effective." Pei Shi took two bites, thinking that this was the filial piety of his little granddaughter, not to mention how ironing it was.
"Not only is her body strong, but my daughter-in-law feels that her skin has become much whiter and tenderer recently." Cui Shi was originally beautiful, but she did feel that her skin was much smoother recently.
"Where is it so magical, it's just because my grandmother and aunt love Aqing and the role of my heart." Han Qing squinted her eyes and pursed her lips and smiled, what she used for her family was a product of space, and her natural effect was extraordinary.
"I made a lot of this jelly, and my sisters could eat it after school, but unfortunately my grandfather and brothers were still in Nanjing, and I don't know when they will come back." Han Qing hadn't seen her grandfather and brothers for several months, and she already missed her very much.
"It just so happened that your grandfather sent a letter, saying that he wanted to go back to Hangzhou with the team of the Southern Tour." Pei said with a smile.
"The team of the Southern Tour?" Han Qing asked with some surprise.
"We have just learned the news, the emperor decided to tour the south for some reason, and now he is about to go to Nanjing, saying that he wants to live directly in our house, which is not discussing with your grandmother, how to entertain the royal family." Choi explained.
When Han Qing heard the news, she couldn't take care of the leaky little teeth, and her little mouth couldn't help but open in surprise, making Pei and Cui Shi very funny. Han Qing remembered that Emperor Jinghe had never toured the south in his previous life, because this emperor was very self-disciplined and never did anything to work the people and hurt money, compared to a certain emperor who loved the southern tour in later generations, he was extremely low-key.
She guessed that it might be the changes in her life that inadvertently produced a butterfly effect, so much so that even the emperor's dynamics were affected. I don't know if this change is good or bad, so I have to comfort myself to go with the flow.
Following the topic of the southern tour, Pei and Cui talked back to the previously interrupted hospitality arrangement, and Han Qing said goodbye in time to wait for the sisters to get out of class.
Besides, the team of the southern tour, in the end, the emperor went out on patrol, although everything was simple, but just the daily wear to be brought made Gao Delu very busy. Luo Huan, the commander of the forbidden army, simply stayed in the barracks, and set off directly with the southern patrol team until the end of July, and did not return home.
In August, it no longer rains in the south, and the sun is shining brightly, and the floodwaters have receded in many places, revealing the moist and fertile land. The refugees returned to their hometowns and reclaimed fertile land. Due to the relatively few casualties in the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, the atmosphere of post-disaster reconstruction is not sad, but rather enthusiastic.
The southern tour team looked at this prosperous scene all the way to Nanjing, and the emperor was in a good mood and held a banquet on the imperial ship to entertain the high-ranking officials of Nanjing. He Shengzao, the governor of Jiangnan, was ordered by the emperor to raid the Huang family in Yangzhou and found a lot of physical evidence in Huang Peilin's study. He went to Haining and escorted Ge Moxin to Nanjing.
He Sheng handed over the physical evidence to Emperor Jinghe after the banquet, "Your Majesty, the evidence found from Huang Peilin is all with Ge Moxin of Haining Zhixian County, it seems that other officials are very cautious, if it weren't for Huang Peilin secretly hiding Ge Moxin's letters, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to grasp Ge Moxin's handle." ”
"Regarding the case of Yu Boru being framed, Huang Peilin was recruited?" Emperor Jinghe asked, looking at the letter.
"Because he found Ge Moxin's letter, Huang Peilin couldn't deny it, but it was Ge Moxin who coveted the position of the prefect of Hangzhou, so he asked him to find someone to frame Yu Boru." He Sheng said helplessly.
"It seems that it is impossible to grab other people's pigtails." Chu Yuan answered in a low voice. He is now very disgusted with Zhu Ge Lao and Huai Anbo, and he can't wait to get rid of these tarsal maggots in Jiangnan this time, but unfortunately it backfired.
"Yuan'er, this matter can't be rushed, now we can only eradicate Ge Moxin first, and then take advantage of the year-end evaluation and official scheduling to arrange these exposed people to other places." Emperor Jinghe's words meant to be slowly drawn. Now the house is regarded as his henchman, so he didn't hide his attitude.
The ship docked at the port of Nanjing for one day, and set off for Hangzhou early the next morning, accompanied by Xie Heng and his two grandsons, Yu Boru, who had been imprisoned in the governor's palace, and Ge Moxin and Huang Peilin were also escorted.
Yesterday, the emperor invited Jiangnan officials to a banquet, but several people from the Rongguo Mansion did not participate, and when the fleet was launched, Xie Heng knew that the original southern tour, in addition to his own in-laws, Cui Wenli, also brought the Rongguo Mansion.
"The emperor lives in the old minister's house this time, but even Lord Cui and the Rongguo Mansion family live in?" Xie Heng asked Chu Xu directly.
Chu Xu's face turned a little red when he was asked, "I thought that the teacher and Master Cui were in-laws, and they were just in time to rectify the personnel of Jiangnan, so I brought Master Cui with me." ”
Seeing that the emperor was talking about him a little bit, Xie Heng looked at Chu Xu even more suspiciously. Chu Xu didn't dare to talk about anything else, so he had to tell the teacher the request of the Rongguo Mansion in 1510.
Xie Heng knew that the other culprit who killed his daughter was Han Meng, and he almost wanted to arrest him and beat him up immediately. Chu Xu saw that the teacher was so angry, and his forehead couldn't help but sweat a little.
Now there are only two of them in this cabin, Chu Xu is not afraid of being embarrassed, and hurriedly shirks his responsibility and says, "Teacher, the apprentice didn't want to take care of the idle affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, but the Queen Mother wanted to be this peacemaker, so she had to come to Jiangnan with her, and she really couldn't bear to refute her mother's intentions." ”
Xie Heng glared at Chu Xu, "The emperor is a push, two, six, five, and the old minister can still go to the queen mother, and the theory can't be reached." Looking at Chu Xu's smile a little flattering, he couldn't bear it, "The emperor's love for the minister, the minister knows in his heart, you don't have to be like this, let whoever looks at it is good." ”
Chu Xu hurriedly said, "You are my teacher, I treat you as a father, who dares to have any opinions." ”
Xie Heng was poured a lot of the emperor's ecstasy soup, snorted, and sighed again, "Now that even the Queen Mother is here in person, the old minister will not fail to give this face." There is only one thing that cannot be changed, but my family Aqing will always live in Xie Mansion, and the marriage in the future will be up to me, and he Rongguo Mansion cannot have any opinions. If you don't agree, my family Ah Qing resolutely denies him as the Han family. ”
"His Han family is self-aware, he just wants the teacher's family not to care about them, as for your granddaughter, it is naturally what you say." Chu Xu was also greatly relieved when he saw that the teacher was finally relieved, and said in his heart, old lady, for the sake of your handkerchief, your son almost offended the master.
