Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Road Picks Up the Baby

It was only in the first month of the new year, and Kangxi took Ruo Ying into the palace in the name of the queen mother. Seeing Kangxi's face, Ruo Ying knew that Kangxi and everyone were going to take him with him in February, which was to prepare for himself first.

If you are anxious about your gambling contract with Brother Jiu, but you can't disobey Kangxi's intentions, and you don't know how many days it will take to patrol Gidian, in case you go to a month, you simply gamble and admit defeat directly with Brother Jiu. Privately consulted with the thirteenth elder brother, and learned from the thirteenth elder brother that if there was no delay, it would be obtained in ten days and eight days, and Ruo Ying was relieved. I remember that it is recorded in the history books that among Kangxi's sons, the thirteenth elder brother's riding and archery kung fu is the best, and even Kangxi once praised him for "being good at riding and shooting, and every shot must hit". Since he has already asked him, he doesn't bother the two masters, if he wants to worship the thirteenth elder brother to be his own riding and archery master, the thirteenth elder brother is unwilling, but he has accepted this errand.

At first, the thirteenth elder brother was afraid that Ruo Ying would not be able to bear it, so he only assigned one hour of homework every day, and Ruo Ying was worried, so he did not speak to the thirteen elder brothers, but secretly added the hour by himself. In this way, every thirteen or so inspection homework, Ruo Ying will be praised.

The day of the tour is imminent, although it is only a few days, if the eagle is not afraid of falling behind, he quietly brought a bow, and it is good to practice arm strength on the road.

Ruo Ying didn't understand why Kangxi had to bring himself with him when he was patrolling Gidian, and he was not on a southern tour, so he could also take a tour of the mountains and rivers by the way. Fortunately, but in the suburbs of Beijing, the distance is not too far, if the eagle sits in the carriage, nothing to do with the bow to practice arm strength.

After the placement, Kangxi took a group of princes and ministers to inspect the river embankment, but left Ruoyu behind. Ruo Yu said in his heart, Xu is Kangxi also felt that she was a girl's family, and it was inconvenient to take her with her, and she was happy to make time to practice.

At lunchtime, the cuckoo came in with food, and when the eagle saw it, he withdrew his hand, put the bow aside, and asked, "Why, the emperor hasn't come back yet?" ā€

The cuckoo shook his head and said, "The river embankment came back to humanity, and the emperor ordered to eat on the river embankment. ā€

Ruo Ying smiled and pulled the cuckoo to sit down, and said, "Since there is no one else in the line, you can use some with me, it's not interesting for me to eat alone." ā€

The cuckoo has been serving for a long time, and he has already known the temperament of the eagle, and he did not refuse, sat down and used some, and after a while, he ate well, and got up to take care of the side food.

After seeing it, there was still no one in sight, and if the eagle ordered to prepare more hot water, this large group of people used it, only a little. When it was dark, Kangxi brought people back in a mighty way, and he had attendants everywhere to serve his master.

If you think that there are many foreign ministers this time, and you don't know the situation, it's not good to go to Kangxi rashly, and Kangxi won't care about these things with him, so he doesn't plan to go over to ask for peace.

For a few days, everyone else went out early and returned late, and every day if the eagle got up, the yard was silent, only occasionally people hurried by, and the day was short, and the temperature was not high, so it became colder and colder.

One evening, when the cuckoo slept while serving Ruo Ying, when he untied his hair bun, the cuckoo smiled and said: "Gege, haven't you seen that in the past few days, the slave and maid have looked at the masters like a clay figure when they come back, and they don't know what to do?" ā€

"Clay figurines?" If the eagle frowned, could it be that Kangxi called his baby sons as river workers? That's interesting.

"But no, there is a lot of muddy water on the shoes of several masters, and yesterday a slave and maid saw that the ninth master and the thirteenth master even collapsed into muddy spots." Cuckoo Road.

"I'm afraid that the emperor is training a few masters, and it's not an uncommon thing." After combing her hair, she went to the bedside.

The cuckoo responded, and the servant like an eagle lay down.

Four or five days passed, and just when Ruoyu even thought that Kangxi had forgotten about himself, Li Dequan came over, saying that Kangxi was going to take Ruoyu out today, and then turned his head and asked the cuckoo to serve Ruoyu and change into lighter clothes, and then went back.

If the eagle picked out a light orange fine linen Han costume embroidered with white camellia, the cuckoo was skillful, and after a while, he dressed up as a pretty Han girl. Ruoyu looked in the mirror and said, "Braiding your hair." ā€

The cuckoo responded, and in a few moments, he braided the long hair scattered behind Ruo Ying into two braids, and the tassel hair ornaments hanging down on both sides were braided into the braids, and the whole person looked immature two or three years old.

led the cuckoo to Kangxi's yard, Kangxi and the others were not in the house, but sat in the courtyard in twos and threes and gossiped, and when they saw Ruoyu coming, their eyes turned away.

If the eagle walked a few steps quickly, he led the cuckoo to greet a few people. After calling up, Kangxi looked at Ruoyu's appearance, nodded and said, "The cuckoo doesn't have to follow, stay." ā€

"Yes." The cuckoo replied and took two steps back.

After the group set off, Ruo Ying asked on the road, only to know that Kangxi intended to dress up as a common person and take a look at the lives of the people in the suburbs of Beijing. Walking on the road, Ruo Ying sighed in his heart, although he didn't know what Kangxi's intention was to bring himself out this time, but he was crooked and took himself to his hometown, although the scene was completely different, but he was kind, and it seemed that he was closest to his parents at this moment.

"What do you want, looking like you're wandering into the world?" The thirteenth elder brother bumped his elbow into Ruoyu's arm and said.

Ruo Ying came back to his senses, smiled at the thirteenth elder brother, and said, "Although these people are not rich, they are still comfortable. ā€

The thirteenth elder brother smiled back at her and said, "With your thoughts, you have used it all the way, just thinking about such a thing that a clear-eyed person can see with a glance?" ā€

Ruo Yu smiled: "Otherwise, what kind of big things do you have to think about?" ā€

Talking and laughing, a few people have gradually come to a sparsely populated place, Sibeile has always been cautious and intends to stop it, but Kangxi seems to be in a good mood, fortunately, the group has skills, and the accompanying party has the protection of the secret guard, but nothing can happen.

"What's that?" Brother Jiu saw a touch of red in the weeds not far away, which seemed to be a cloth bag. It's really not Brother Jiu's sharp eyes, the fields are yellow all over, that piece of red is really eye-catching, Brother Jiu didn't find it, and others will see it.

Seeing Kangxi bowing slightly, Brother Jiu stepped forward to investigate, Ruo Ying stood in place with the others, and saw Brother Jiu bending down and reaching out to uncover the red cloth and take a look, and then covered the red cloth back, but he didn't see him come back immediately.

The thirteenth elder brother couldn't wait, and also walked over, Ruo Ying saw that he and the ninth elder brother said a few words, and then went to see what was in the red cloth, but saw that the thirteenth elder brother's hand was stagnant, but he didn't immediately withdraw his hand, but stretched out closer, probed, and then straightened up. After muttering a few more words to Brother Jiu, he actually hugged the red cloth package, and then walked back with Brother Jiu.

Seeing Kangxi frowning slightly, with a question in his eyes, the thirteenth elder brother said: "Back to Huang Ama, there is a baby in this package, there is still breath, just look at the complexion, it has been abandoned for some time, I don't know the ...... Emperor Ama"

Hearing that it was a child, Ruo Ying was a little surprised, he had seen many reports of abandoned children before, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. Ruo Yu walked up to the thirteenth elder brother and opened a corner to see that the little guy was a little thin, and his bruised face looked a little terrifying. Suddenly, the baby's small mouth moved, very small, but Ruo Ying felt that there was a place in his heart that was touched, and he didn't care about Kangxi's instructions, so he hugged the child from the arms of the thirteenth elder brother, and put the warm palm on the child's face. Ruo Ying didn't know if she could save the little milk baby, but she couldn't be indifferent.

Seeing Ruo Eagle's behavior, Kangxi temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Let's find a family first." ā€

After four belat yƬ, the group turned back according to the original way, and found a farmer's house that they had just passed by, which was a middle-aged couple, and the wind and frost of life seemed to be larger than their actual age. The old couple has a pair of children under their knees, living with the old couple, the eldest son has already married, and has a girl who can just walk, and the younger daughter has not yet reached the end of time.

The old couple gave up their room, and the woman took him into the inner room, where there was a fire pit, and the eagle was only going to sit on the stool, but the woman couldn't resist it, so she took off her shoes and sat on the kang. After a while, the woman brought in another brazier, and lowered the curtain and went out, but the brazier had just burned, and the temperature in the room would not rise for a while.

Ruo Yu didn't know how long the baby had been lying in the ice and snow, and she was afraid that the baby would die before it could feel the warmth. Caring about so much, Ruo Ying untied his own clothes one by one, until a thin belly pocket, and then opened the swaddling clothes wrapped around the baby, and faded the baby's small thin cotton clothes, leaving only a small red belly pocket, on which a big carp was embroidered, lifelike. This is a baby girl, she is very thin, and Ruo Ying is even afraid that she will hurt her by moving too much. Trembling and holding the baby into his arms, the cold for a moment made Ruoyu shiver a little, and even gave birth to a little timidity. Ruo Ying hurriedly covered her clothes one by one and held the baby warmly in her arms, hoping to use her body temperature to save her life that had passed a little bit.

The curtain was lifted, and a burst of milk fragrance wafted in, and the old woman carried a bowl of freshly heated milk and said: "It's a coincidence, now my daughter-in-law is pregnant with a second child, and I am afraid that the milk will not be enough, so I have a sheep at home." No, after the sheep cubs, the milk is sufficient, heat a bowl over, and feed the child two mouthfuls. As she spoke, the old woman moved a high stool and placed it on the edge of the kang, and put the steaming goat's milk on the stool.

Ruo Yu nodded and thanked with a smile: "Excuse me, I don't know what you call it?" When she came in, she was brought to the back room by the old woman, and she didn't know what they said to her master, so she didn't say much.

Telling Ruo Ying that her husband's family name was Chen, Sister-in-law Chen asked Ruo Ying not to be polite to her, and at the same time took out the bed quilt from the cabinet and covered Ruo Ying, and said: "This is a new quilt made a few years ago, the inside is all new, and the flocculent is also new cotton, and it has only been covered once on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and if it is washed cleanly, you will cover it." ā€

Ruo Ying was holding the child in his arms, and he didn't make much movement, so he only thanked Sister-in-law Chen again.

Sister-in-law Chen waved her hand and said "Don't dare to be" before going out, Ruo Ying hesitated and called Sister-in-law Chen, and said, "Please talk to the people who came with me and let them come over personally." Sister-in-law Chen went out.

After a while, the thirteenth elder brother came in, and when he saw that Ruo Ying was disheveled, he stepped down, then lowered the curtain and entered the house.

"What's the matter with calling someone?" The thirteenth elder brother stood on the edge of the kang, neither standing nor sitting.

Ruo Ying saw that it was the thirteenth elder brother who came over, and thanked Kangxi for his wisdom in his heart, so he said: "It's nothing, it's just a little scared, this little baby is a little cold, just in case, in case ......"

The thirteenth elder brother immediately understood Ruoyu's thoughts, saw Ruoyu showing timidity, and then looked at the baby's little face exposed, and comforted: "Look at the appearance of this baby, I think it is gradually getting better, we are all here, don't be afraid." Seeing the bowl resting on the high stool on the side, he was about to say something, but the thirteenth elder brother looked embarrassed and didn't say anything.

Ruo Ying looked at the baby in his arms, but he didn't notice the look of the thirteenth elder brother, and suddenly felt that the baby moved, and Ruo Ying snorted softly: "She moved!" ā€

When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, he also leaned over, saw the little head under the layers of clothes rubbing gently, and said with a smile: "I guess this baby hasn't been frozen for too long, and now this face is much better, and the little mouth is also pink." As he spoke, he smiled and stretched out his hand to tease the baby's little face, but his hand stopped in mid-air, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

"Now that you're awake, help me feed her some goat's milk." Ruo Ying saw the embarrassment of the thirteenth elder brother this time, and hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round.

The thirteenth elder brother withdrew his hand, took the porcelain bowl, scooped the milk with a small iron spoon, and blew it a few times. As if smelling the milk, the little baby actually writhed a few times in Ruoying's arms, causing the two to look at each other and laugh.

Seeing Ruo Ying tear off his clothes a little, the thirteenth elder brother's hand froze, and before he could speak, Ruo Ying said: "I have always known your character, and I don't care about it as much as an expedient measure, only you and I know." ā€

The baby is too small, and the eagle is inexperienced, and after feeding most of the bowl, the milk gradually cools, and the eagle does not dare to feed it again. After trying the baby's forehead, the body temperature was already normal, and the face was also a little ruddy, Ruo Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the thirteenth elder brother to carry the baby first, and covered the placket of his clothes at will, wrapped the baby, and then tied his clothes back one by one.

If the eagle took the baby back into his arms, the little one seemed to be asleep again, quietly, and much more rare than before.

The thirteenth elder brother went out first, and he would come back soon, and the king of Zhijun had already found a carriage. Since the baby is fine, there is no need to bother much, Ruoyu hugged the baby and got off the kang. The thirteenth elder brother hurriedly took the baby over, waited for Ruoyu to put on his shoes, and then carried the baby back into Ruoyu's arms, and tied Ruoyu's fox fur cloak, saying that it was brought back by King Zhijun.

Out of the back room, Ruo Ying saw that several people were waiting for him, and called Kangxi, Kangxi nodded, and the group said goodbye and left. Ruo Eagle sat in the carriage with Kangxi in his arms, while the rest rode horses and went straight back.

As soon as they entered the hospital, a group of people who had received the news were waiting, and the princess, grandmother, and palace maid retreated first with the baby in their arms, and Kangxi and the others went back to their respective residences.

As for where the baby goes, Ruo Ying is not worried, but when he thinks of the appearance of the ninth elder brother in the future, Ruo Ying thinks it is really interesting.

On the way back, in the carriage, Ruo Ying asked Kangxi how he planned to place the baby, and Kangxi asked Ruo Ying what he thought.

The wind blew up the curtains of the car, Ruo Ying just skimmed the corner of Brother Jiu's clothes, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "If the emperor allows it, Ruo Ying thinks it is very good to raise this child in the Nine Masters' Mansion." ā€

"Oh? Why is that? Kangxi was a little puzzled, if the eagle usually befriended someone, he knew a little in his heart, but among those people, no matter how they counted, Lao Jiu was the head.

"Your Majesty, you know, raising children is a big expense, among these princes, they are the richest in the Ninth Master's Mansion, and there are many wives and concubines of the Ninth Master, but they are not afraid of more of this baby, just find someone to raise it, and make it." Seeing Kangxi nodding and shaking his head with a smile, Ruo Ying also knew that how could Kangxi not see his little trick, but it didn't hurt, he was happy to toss and toss with him, just like when he first "lived".

said a joke, Ruo Ying also restrained a little, and said: "Previously for the birthday of Concubine Liang, Ruo Ying temporarily lived in Babeile Mansion, I was honored to go to the Ninth Master's Mansion, and I saw that the Ninth Master's concubine Lang was quite kind-hearted, and her face was kind, and she wanted to come to this baby to be raised by her, so she couldn't be wrong." ā€

Kangxi thought for a while and said, "Since it is what you like, let her raise it, but this ...... the head."

"The emperor is right, although she is a girl, it is not easy to raise in the royal family, it can be recorded in the name of the housekeeper or the person in charge, but it is just raised in the palace." Ruo Yu said busily.

At this time, Kangxi finally nodded.

When he returned to the house, he was waiting in the room, his face not good. This is strange, when they separated, he obviously walked in the direction of his own yard, when did he fold to his side and go to his own front?

"What's wrong with you?" After the cuckoo stepped back, Ruolu asked.

"Why do you want to send the child to the ninth brother?" He knew the news quickly, Kangxi made a decree so quickly? "He's rich!" Ruoyu poured a glass of water and took a sip, saying.

"I want to hear the truth." Four Baylors apparently did not believe it.

Glancing at Sibeile, Ruo Ying sighed: "Ruoqing and I are close friends, I can trust her person, if you hand over the child to her to raise, she will definitely take good care of that child." It wasn't easy to save the child, so I was relieved. ā€

"Why, you're so worried about leaving it to me?" Fourth, Baylor's face was not good.

"It's not that I don't worry about you, but raising a child is a woman's business after all, and no matter how much you take care of it, you can't take care of everything, and send the child to your house......" Ruolu suddenly stopped his mouth and turned his back.

Always avoiding this question, today's people are in a hurry, but they can't catch up and say it, Ruolu has no idea.

If the bird is not finished, Sibeile immediately understood, secretly said to himself, and hurriedly coaxed: "It's all mine, I'm in a hurry, you can send it wherever you want, child, just don't make trouble with me." ā€

If the bird still doesn't turn her head and refuses to speak, she doesn't know where the grievances come from, but as soon as she speaks, she is afraid that she will shed tears. As if he knew, Sibeile walked around to Ruolu, pressed Ruolu in his arms, and coaxed softly.

Until he felt that the person in his arms relaxed, and suddenly thought of something, Sibeile rubbed the tip of Ruoyu's nose, and said in a sour tone: "Why did you call the thirteenth brother in for so long before?" ā€

"I don't know who the emperor will let come, but I'm alone in the house, and I'm a little afraid." Ruo Ying played with the jade pendant on Sibeile's waist, and his tone was inadvertently stained with squeamishness.

Sibeile paused, hugged Ruo Ying tighter, and said, "It's my negligence, I shouldn't have let your girl's family see it." ā€

Ruo Ying didn't expect Sibeile to understand, so he laughed all of a sudden, slapped Sibeile, and pouted: "I know that I was still alone in the house, if it wasn't for the sister-in-law Chen of that family going in and out, I would almost cry!" ā€

Sibeile sighed exaggeratedly, and said with some "resentment": "If it weren't for Huang Ama outside, I would have wanted to follow in, and honestly confess, how many did the thirteenth brother see when he went in?" ā€

Ruoyu was stunned for a moment and said, "What have you seen?" ā€

Sibeile took a bite on Ruoyu's face, and said, "I don't know, you hold that baby in your arms......"

"How do you know?" If you are surprised, isn't Thirteen talking to him?

"It's not that I can't rest assured, I went to ask the old woman of the farmer's family, and then I knew." Sibeile snorted and said, "Disheveled, you still dare to leave the thirteenth brother for a long ......time" Sibeile snorted, and the following words gradually lost their voice.

I haven't seen Sibeile's childish appearance for a few days, Ruo Ying teased his heart, and he regretted it: "It's a pity that the emperor is in a hurry to leave, otherwise, ......"

"What if not?" Four Baylor asked.

"If not, you can stay with the Thirteenth Master for a while." If the eagle looks like it should be.

"You dare!" Si Baylor's arm increased his strength, and when he saw Ruo Ying frowning inadvertently, he immediately lightened it and said, "If it's not in front of me in the future, you are not allowed to wear it like this!" ā€

Ruo Yu "poofed" and smiled: "You are 'only allowing the governor to set fires, and not allowing the people to light lamps', domineering." ā€

"Since you are domineering, do you hear that?" Four Baylor said lightly.

Ruo Nunu mouthed, and said, "If it was you who came in today, I wouldn't have dressed like that." ā€

Sibeilor's face sank and he bit out a few words: "Then what do you want to wear?" ā€

"Self-...... None of them are worn! Ruo Ying said with a smile, pushed the stunned Sibeile out, and slammed the door shut.

Outside the door, Sibeile shook his head and smiled, through the thick door panel, he seemed to see the red face and red ears of Ruolu in the room, heard the heartbeat of Ruolu's "dong dong", and felt Ruolu's rising body temperature.

Leaving with a light smile, the people in the room blushed because of Fang Cai's too bold words, and leaned against the door for a while laughing and annoyed, not knowing how good it should be......
