Chapter 580: Coming to Beijing
Because of Zhou Shaojin's pregnancy, the day Cheng He came happened to be the day when Cheng Chi went to the East Palace to give a lecture, Cheng Chi couldn't even ask for leave, Zhou Chujin knew about it and said that it was handed over to her, and she asked Liao Shaotang to pick up Cheng He.
Xie quietly encouraged Cheng Rang to follow Liao Shaotang to pick up people: "...... Anyway, you are brothers. He is in Jinling, you are in the capital, he is far away as a guest, how can you do your best to be a landlord. The eldest uncle is an elder, it is not appropriate to pick it up, Uncle Xu is in office again, Brother Yun is still young, and you can help run errands in the long room. If you're afraid that you won't be able to do it well, isn't there still an uncle of the Liao family? He is now a gentleman, a man of merit. With him with you, what are you afraid of? And you can also learn some human accidents from him. If there is such a thing at home in the future, you can also go by yourself. ”
Cheng Rang has always been regarded as a child, and it is not his turn to come forward for anything at home.
Hearing this, he hesitated and said, "Mother and Uncle Chi didn't say anything, this, can this work?" ”
Xie Shi smiled: "Then let's go ask my mother?" ”
She knows that her husband is a little weak among the brothers of the Cheng family, but each has his own position, and each has his own strengths, Cheng Rang may not be able to become a jinshi, but he can be a kind and upright person, and he can help the people in the family take care of some chores, which is better than doing nothing and having low eyes.
Cheng Rang felt that his wife's words were very reasonable, and went to Qiu's place.
Qiu Shi was very happy to hear this, not only encouraged him to follow Liao Shaotang to pick up people, but also took fifty taels of silver tickets and made a spring dress for Cheng Rang, so that Cheng Rang would wear new clothes on the day he went.
His mother agreed with his idea, and Cheng Rang was also very happy. When he came back, he showed Xie the fifty taels of silver tickets and spring clothes.
Xie personally poured a cup of tea for Cheng Rang, saying that he wanted to comfort him for his hard work.
Cheng Rang lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "This is all your idea, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Her idea should also be listened to.
Xie Shi smiled: "If the prince doesn't agree with the concubine, how can he agree to ask the mother?" It can be seen that Xianggong himself thinks the same way. ”
Cheng Rang was very happy when he heard it, and couldn't help laughing.
When it was time to pick up Cheng He, I got up early, washed carefully and went to Chaoyangmen, and then drank Qin Ziji and went to Yushu Hutong to meet Liao Shaotang and go to Chaoyangmen to pick up Cheng He.
Cheng He was very surprised to see Cheng Rang.
In his impression, Cheng Rang always hides behind people. Blurred faces.
He couldn't help but thank Cheng Rang well.
Cheng Rang was very embarrassed. blushed, but finally said what should be said, and everyone went to Chaoyangmen together.
Zhou Shaojin was waiting for Cheng He at the second gate.
saw Cheng He's still handsome and energetic face. Tears rolled in her eyes.
In her previous life, when she met Cheng He in the capital. Although Cheng He is already a Jishi. His demeanor was heavy and depressing.
She was supported by Jixiang and stepped forward to greet Cheng He.
Cheng He already knew the news of Zhou Shaojin's pregnancy on the road, and at this time, he saw that her face was ruddy and her eyes were bright. There is no malaise of pregnant women at all, knowing that Cheng Chi takes good care of her, after saying hello to Zhou Shaojin with a smile, he can't help but joke to Zhou Shaojin: "It seems that the water and soil of the long house still raises people." When you used to be in Wanxiangyuan, you were like an eggplant beaten in a box, but then you went to the Hanbi Mountain House, and suddenly came to life - when your sister-in-law was pregnant with Yuanyuan, she was listless every day, and I see you like you are like a dead tiger now. ”
Zhou Shaojin's face flushed, thinking that in her previous life, Cheng He and He Fengping had been married for seven or eight years before giving birth to Yuanyuan, and now she not only gave birth to a daughter in advance, but also still called Yuanyuan, she said with some curiosity: "Why did Cousin He give the child the nickname Yuanyuan?" ”
Cheng He smiled: "Your sister-in-law liked to eat when she was young, she was white and fat, and she had a nickname called 'Ah Yuan', we joked at the time, if you give birth to a daughter, you will call it this name, but I didn't expect to really give birth to a daughter." ”
It can be seen that some events will still return to the original track after they come and go.
Zhou Shaojin thanked Liao Shaotang with a smile and accompanied Cheng He to greet Mrs. Guo.
Mrs. Guo asked Mrs. Guan.
Knowing that everything was fine in the fourth room, and Gu Qigu was pregnant again, Mrs. Guo laughed hehehe, and told Cheng He a few words of "treat this as if it were your own home" and "let Shaojin buy it for you if you lack anything", and then called Brother Yun to come in to meet Cheng He.
It was the first time Cheng He saw Brother Yun, it was very rare, and he pointed to Brother Yun'er's eyes and said to Zhou Shaojin: "It's really exactly the same as when you were a child." ”
"Really?" Many people say that Yun Ge'er has good eyes.
Cheng He nodded and said with emotion: "Our family Yuanyuan is a little chubby girl, holding it heavily in her hands, and Fang Fang is a person who can lift the roof tiles in the house, or your brother Yun'er, Wenwen is quiet, well-behaved and sensible." ”
Zhou Shaojin and Mrs. Guo couldn't stop laughing. Zhou Shaojin really wanted to see what Gu Seventeen's family was like.
Cheng He saw that the expressions of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little wrong, and said strangely: "What? Is Brother Yun also naughty? ”
Zhou Shaojin never felt that Brother Yun was childish, and said with a smile: "He is a boy and is more active." It's not very naughty. ”
Everyone laughed and talked about the child, and Cheng He got up to say goodbye.
Zhou Shaojin sent him to the door.
Liao Shaotang and Cheng Rang sent Cheng He to the guest room.
After Cheng He freshened up and changed his clothes, Liao Shaotang and Cheng Rang accompanied him to talk, and when Cheng Chi came back, he set up a table for him to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and the next day he personally took him to Cheng Shao, and Cheng Shao took the school homework.
Cheng Shao was very satisfied with Cheng He's homework, promised to recommend him to study in Guozijian, and asked Cheng Huan if he didn't understand anything in his homework.
Cheng He is naturally grateful, every day is Chaoyangmen to the home, home to Chaoyangmen, occasionally to visit Cheng Shao, go to Liao Shaotang to visit the door, chat with Cheng Chi, and the rest of the time is reading without distraction.
Zhou Shaojin looked at it, and a hanging heart finally settled.
The timing has also reached the third day of the third month of March, that is, the Daughter's Day.
Jiangnan has always had the custom of picking boiled eggs with shepherd's cauliflower on this day to detoxify and stop dysentery.
Zhou Shaojin didn't know that there were also camellia flowers in the capital, but she only found out that there was a servant woman at home who boiled eggs and gave them away. So early this morning, I instructed the servants at home to pick camellia flowers and give them to relatives and friends. also asked Cheng He to bring some to his classmates, and he boiled some eggs to make rice wine on this day, and celebrated with Mrs. Guo.
As a result, they were eating eggs, and Mrs. Peng Chengbo ran over.
She said hello to Zhou Shaojin absentmindedly, and then pulled Mrs. Guo to the warm pavilion on the side and whispered: "Have you heard about the fight between the third prince and the fourth prince?" What do you say about this? The Four Princes send things to our house every year. You also know our family, and the four princes are also the nephews of our family. It is also human nature for him to give us gifts. I didn't take it to heart either. But now that something like this has happened, everyone suspects that the four princes covet the throne and frame their siblings, and the original errand of the household department is gone...... With the emperor's temper, if the affairs of the three princes were really done by the four princes. The emperor will definitely not let go of the four princes. In case the fourth prince is unlucky. Even if we jump into the Yellow River, we won't be able to wash it. ”
Even if the emperor finds out that the four princes did it, the law will not blame the public, especially now that there are many royal scandals, he will not touch these meritorious families.
As long as the imperial grandson has no pimples in his heart, it's fine.
But Mrs. Guo said this in front of Mrs. Pengcheng. He could only say euphemistically: "The other princes should have given you gifts before, right?" Since I am afraid that the emperor will misunderstand. Why don't you invite the emperor's grandson to the emperor to find out? ”
Mrs. Peng Cheng's eyes lit up when she heard this.
They know what the emperor is like. It doesn't matter if it's offended for a while, anyway, the emperor is old, and at most he can get through the past few years. But the emperor's grandson is the future prince. Under normal circumstances, there are still decades to live, and they can't afford to survive!
Mrs. Peng Cheng thanked her repeatedly, hurriedly resigned Mrs. Guo and rushed back to Peng Chengbo's mansion.
Zhou Shaojin smiled: "This Mrs. Pengcheng is interesting. ”
It stands to reason that it is difficult for such a person to be at home in the palace. But Mrs. Pengcheng is very popular with the Queen Mother and the Empress.
Mrs. Guo smiled: "Straightforwardness also has the benefit of being straightforward, and you will slowly understand it in the future." ”
Zhou Shaojin didn't take this matter to heart, and the past was over.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Peng Cheng came over again.
She took Zhou Shaojin's hand and said embarrassedly: "Look at me, I didn't ask you how you were last time?" I heard you're pregnant? If there's anything you want to eat or drink, I'll get it for you. I dare not say anything else, but if I want to say this strange thing, I can see it a lot. ”
It can be seen that yesterday was really anxious.
Zhou Shaojin secretly smiled, but still respectfully thanked Mrs. Peng Cheng and invited Mrs. Peng Cheng into the inner room for tea.
Mrs. Peng Cheng was also not polite, and sat there with Mrs. Guo and gossiped, but there was no longer yesterday's impetuousness between her eyebrows, which showed that the idea that Mrs. Guo gave her was still effective.
Mrs. Guo didn't ask her how things happened yesterday.
Today's capital is full of treachery, and some things are better than pretending to be deaf and dumb.
On the day of the Buddha Bathing Festival, the palace suddenly issued an edict, saying that the four princes befriended the courtiers and banned the feet of the four princes.
Many of the people who were scheduled to go to the temple to pay homage to the incense in Beijing have temporarily canceled their trips, and the number of pedestrians on the bustling Suzaku Street is at least half less than in previous years.
Zhou Shaojin also decided not to pay homage to the incense: "...... I don't know why, this child is not like Brother Yun - Brother Yun will be so raw, I feel that I will be born all of a sudden, but this child is very tossed, not to mention the smell of incense and candles, even the smell of sesame oil I don't smell comfortable, it's been three months, and I can't eat meat. Going to the temple to worship incense, it is simply torturing people. ”
"Could it be that this child is a daughter?" Xiao Xie is going to give birth next month, and he sits on the Luohan bed with a big belly and eats pears with a smile.
"Your uncle and grandmother are looking forward to being a daughter." Zhou Shaojin touched his belly, which was not yet a shadow, and said with some concern, "I originally wanted to have a daughter, but I didn't want to disappoint your uncle...... It's a dilemma. ”
"What's so hard about that?" Xie persuaded Zhou Shaojin, "Auntie is still young, she will have children in the future, this time it is a son, next time she will have another daughter, this time it is a daughter, then next time she will have another son." ”
"How can it be so easy as you say." Zhou Shaojin smiled and asked how Xie was preparing for the production, and if there was anything she could do to help.
A little maid hurriedly walked in and said, "Madam, Cheng Zhi, Cheng Zheng and Pan Hao have come to visit Uncle He, and now they are going to the guest room." ”
