When Third Sister You heard what Sister Feng said, she naturally changed her words and called "Second Sister-in-law Lian". Sister Feng smiled happily, and was about to say something, but she saw You Shi greet her with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's almost time to open the banquet outside, don't you go to the banquet to sit and eat and listen to the play, what are you going to do in this corner?" ”

Third Sister You smiled when she heard this, got up and said, "But just a few casual gossip, and this will be over." ”

You Shi smiled again: "I know you don't like to eat banquets, and I'm always afraid that you won't be full." After the banquet is dispersed, you follow your mother and second sister to Dongfu with me, and I have specially prepared a few dishes that you like to eat. There is also a jar of good Huiquan wine, and our mother and daughter sisters also take this opportunity to get together. ”

When Sister Feng heard this, she smiled and said, "Oh, I know that your mother and daughter sisters have the best relationship. I couldn't see it, so I found it. Not only do they have good wine and good food, but they can also talk together. We are all alone, and we have become no one who hurts. ”

When You Shi heard this, he had to twist Sister Feng'er's cheeks and said, "If you like it, you will come over and scatter it when the mat is dispersed." Don't say I don't hurt you. Today I invite you only, and no one else. There are too many grandmothers in your house, and you have to wait with them. It's not a bit of a sitting. ”

When Sister Feng heard this, she was really moved. After thinking about it, he said, "If you are sincere in inviting me." Then I'll talk to my wife. When the banquet is over, I'll finish my work here first, and then I'll go over to you. As long as you don't bother me with being an uninvited guest. ”

You Shi took Sister Feng'er's hand and smiled: "Then it's decided." I have prepared good food and wine at home. If you don't come, I won't follow. ”

Everyone laughed and laughed, and then went to the banquet to listen to the play and eat wine.

In the evening, the feast was over, and the Chen family really took the two sisters to follow the You family to the Ning Mansion. Jia Zhen is not there, and she doesn't know where to fool around with whose children. Only Jia Rong and Qin's little couple were left, and they asked Chen's mother and daughter to say goodbye, and when they were about to leave, they only heard You Shi smile and said, "Rong boy will go first." Let your daughter-in-law stay, there are more people and talk lively. ”

When Jia Rong heard this, she had to laugh. and instructed the Qin family to serve the elders with a few words, and then bowed down and retired.

Chen took Qin Keqing's hand and asked about housework for a long time.

Qin Keqing's ice muscles and jade bones, flower and moon appearance, and his mind is also extremely clever and obedient. After marrying into the Jia family for only a few days, not only did the elders like her gentle and filial, but the peers liked her for being harmonious and intimate, and even the subordinates praised her. People who can do this, even if their nature is really gentle and kind, but their means and temperament are not ordinary.

For example, You Shi was still a little dissatisfied with Qin Keqing before she started, and after only a few days, he took her with him wherever he liked. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are inseparable, like a pair of sisters.

Seeing this, the Chen family had to be more intimate with Qin Keqing. Although Qin Keqing came from a humble background, he also knew the Chen family's prominence in Beijing. I also know how obedient my mother-in-law is to her stepmother and stepsister, and she also wants to take this opportunity to please the Chen family. His sincerity and fear were so great that even Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "You sit down and talk." We don't have that many courtesies in our family. I don't like the rules of elders eating and daughters-in-law standing underground to serve. The more you do that, the more uncomfortable I feel. Besides, you are also tired of the three baptisms in Nafu today, so you should sit down and rest quickly, so we can talk in peace. ”

Chan is now old. but they are more generous and loving. Qin Keqing, who said this, was so moved that she almost turned her eyes red. She is actually ready to face difficulties and welcome people with a smile. But I didn't expect the Chen family to have a big business, but it was not so domineering.

When everyone saw Qin Keqing like this, they couldn't help but sigh and make a fool of people. The daughter of a noble man, who would have thought that there would be today's events?

All the food and drinks are available. You Shi looked at the sky and said with a smile: "This Feng girl, said that we would go first, and she would rush over after her." I don't know what I'm rubbing over there, and I won't come here yet. ”

When he was talking, he only heard the little girl outside the door spread the word "Second Grandma Lian is here", You Shi smiled and hurriedly invited, and took Qin Keqing to greet him. I only heard a burst of laughter coming first, and then Sister Feng smiled and said, "I'm late, I hope you'll forgive me." ”

Seeing this, You Shi couldn't help but smile and said, "Why did you come here so early or late?" But the old lady, the second wife, don't want to call you over? ”

When Sister Feng heard this, she hurriedly opened her mouth and said, "The old lady knows that I want to come over, so she is naturally willing." He also told me to have a good day, so as to live up to your wishes. It's just that I'm too honest in my heart. As soon as they were invited, I arrived. It's not good to come to the door empty-handed. So I ordered the kitchen to make a few specialty dishes and asked me to bring them over, which also meant adding dishes. He also asked me to make amends with Mrs. Chen and the sisters, and said that they would not come. ”

When Chen heard this, he thanked him with a smile. Because he said, "The old lady is really careless. It's just a feast for their own daughters, where is there any need to be so polite. ”

Everyone laughed and entered the table, chatting while eating, but it was very enjoyable. Needless to say.

Let's just say that in the blink of an eye, the weather is getting colder and colder. Families also bought new clothes for the winter.

The saint in the palace is getting older, and because of the solar terms, his body is getting worse and worse. Some time ago, I contracted a cold, and I haven't healed until now. When he was in the court, he often coughed nonstop, and after the next court, he was glad to have the prince with him, which also meant that the saint did not allow him to consume too much energy and lose his body.

As a result, the major affairs of the DPRK and China are more and more dependent on the crown prince to supervise the country. The crown prince had the experience of supervising the country more than ten years ago, and this matter was easy for him. Moreover, the prince is not greedy for merit and power, and orders the six ministries of the cabinet to deal with it according to the rules and regulations in every small matter, or if there is a major decision that is unclear, the prince first looks at the twists and turns, and then throws away useless rhetoric and streamlines it, and summarizes the matter in a few words. In the end, he ordered the ministers of the court to come up with at least three solutions, and then leave them to the sage's discretion.

He himself was busy personally serving the decoction and serving the saints. On the grounds that the saint must miss his son in his illness, more than a dozen princes, large and small, were called to the palace, and the older ones were arranged to serve the saints, and the younger ones were brought by the grandmother to talk and chat with the saints. As for the harem concubines that the saint likes...... Of course, the prince did not allow the saint to be so tired when he was sick, so naturally he was as far as he went. However, because he didn't mind the prince serving in front of the dragon couch, even if the harem concubines were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to complain, and they couldn't make up any bad words, so they could only secretly hate it in their hearts.

When the saint was seriously ill, he was still a little embarrassed in his heart, and he had to admit that he was "incorruptible and old", and his energy and body were not as good as before. I was also worried that the crown prince and several other adult princes would do something while he was sick. Now it seems that although there are a lot of small actions in private, the prince suppressed it, but he didn't tear his face in front of him.

At least when everyone came to serve the sick, they all put on the appearance of a father and a son, a brother and a brother, and there was no need to bother him.

Since ancient times, it has been said that there is no father and son in the heavenly family, and there is no family affection in the heavenly family, and it is also said that there is no filial son in front of the bed of a long illness. However, after such a serious illness, the saint felt more and more that he had a good son. Not only can he help and assist himself in court affairs, but he can also take care of his own mind emotionally, and he can take care of his younger brothers so thoroughly......

Whenever the saint was recuperating in bed, because the prince refused to ask him to review the recitals and consume his energy, the saint himself could not be idle, so he could only close his eyes and think blindly. After thinking about it, he thought of one thing, but he didn't say it to the prince, but when the prince returned to the palace to rest at night, he called his henchman Zhang Huaiyu into the palace overnight. After discussing it like this, the two monarchs and ministers tacitly separated.

The sage summoned Zhang Huaiyu to enter the palace overnight, and this matter was not a secret. For a time, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military dignitaries knew about it.

Early the next morning, after the prince went down to court, he also got a tip-off message, and he was still very puzzled. He now has to be reminded of the high man, and his attitude towards the saint in private is no longer the sincere fear he had when he faced the king, but the attitude of a son towards his father. Since this is the case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has doubts in his heart, so naturally he has something to say. So when he was waiting for the saint to take the medicine, he brought up the matter.

In fact, it is the third and fourth princes who serve the saints in class today. When the prince was arranging his shift, he said in advance, as long as it was the turn of the prince to serve the sick, which prince would not have to go to court that day, and would be by the saint's side from morning to night. Even the crown prince himself.

Last night, the saint summoned Zhang Huaiyu into the palace, and everyone knew about it. But the third and fourth children were stunned all morning and didn't dare to ask. For fear that the saint would blame them for a snooping on the emperor's traces. Only the prince ignored it and asked casually.

When the sage heard this, he said, "Is it because you are straightforward and don't hide it, so you asked?" ”

When the prince heard this, he not only responded to the sage's words, but also complained with the question: "What is there to hide from your father, naturally what to say, straight to the point." You just think too much on weekdays, and your body is getting worse and worse. Now that I'm sick, it's hard to recuperate. ”

After that, he turned the empty jade bowl and put it aside, took out a honey green plum from the sweet white porcelain plate, and smiled at the sage: "Father likes to eat green plums. However, your spleen and stomach are not in harmony, and it is not good to always eat green plum stomach acid. This is the green plum I asked someone to soak in honey roses, and it is sweet and sour. You taste it. ”

The saint smiled and took the green plum and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, the taste is sweet and sour, not only removing the green and sour taste of green plums, but also without the sweetness of honey osmanthus. And it has a little more fragrance of roses, which is refreshing and sweet to eat, and it should be chewy.

The saint didn't hold back, but stretched out his hand and took two more, and saw that the prince immediately ordered someone to bring down the honey and green plums.

The saint was immediately a little unhappy, "Why are you still serving it?" ”

"This is the rule set by our ancestors. Be temperate in all things. Besides, you've already eaten three of them, but you have a bitter taste in your mouth, and you're gone. If you eat it again, how will you have lunch later? ”

The saint sighed, shook his head and said, "When you are old, you can't be your own master." Even eating a green plum depends on people's faces. ”

The prince was unaware of this. Sitting on the couch, he pinched the sage's legs, and said in his mouth: "My father is always lying on the bed, and his whole body must be sore." Erchen recently learned a few tricks from the same people.,Press it for you.。 How do you feel? ”

Of course, the strength of the technique is not as good as that of a professional masseur. However, the saint enjoyed the prince's filial piety, and still said, "Very good, very good." ”

He also asked the prince why he didn't recommend this master to the palace.

It's just nothing to talk about.

When the prince heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "The son wants to do this, but I am afraid that the official and the imperial history will know about it and criticize the son." ”

After that, he made it clear to the sage that he had learned these hands from Chen Qi, the head of the household department. Because of Mrs. Chen's advanced age, Chen Jue always feels sore all over her body on weekdays, so she specially studied medical books and learned a few hands, and pressed Mrs. Chen on weekdays.

When the sage heard this, he smiled and said, "You have a good relationship with him. ”

The prince also laughed when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

The father and son gossiped again, but the saint still remembered the plate of honey and green plums of Fang Cai, and said, "That's it." Let's exchange the father and son, you return the plum to me, and I will tell you why you recruited Zhang Huaiyu into the palace. ”

When the prince heard this, he said directly without thinking about it: "Then you better don't say it." Honey green plums definitely don't have this time. Seeing that it is time for lunch, you can simmer a honey ham. I don't know if my father likes it or not? ”

The saint has been sick for many days, and the prince has taken care of his esophagus the most. But there is no meat for many days. At this moment, when he heard that there was honey ham, he threw the honey green plum behind his head, and said with a busy smile: "Ham is naturally good." ”

After eating lunch for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped the saint to take a break outside to eliminate food, and then served the saint to go back to the inner hall for a rest.

Taking advantage of the sage's nap, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also reviewed the folds in the warm pavilion. When the saint wakes up in the afternoon, he can inform the saint of the courtier's construction, and it is very unnecessary to delay it until the evening and delay the saint's rest.

The warm winter sun poured into the hall through the window sash covered with bright paper, and the father and son slept and worked together, but they were also a little peaceful and comfortable.

Zhang Huaiyu's entry into the palace is over. Later, the saint recovered from his illness and recuperated for some time, but still returned to the court to deal with affairs. Many courtiers, including the crown prince, gradually forgot about this matter.

Unexpectedly, it was not until the New Year's Festival that the sage suddenly made a big move at the imperial banquet, and he announced in front of the prince and the prince that he was going to abdicate and let the prince succeed to the throne.

As soon as the news came out, not to mention the Manchu officials, even the common people were taken aback.
