Chapter 68
It was the middle of winter, and the emperor was wearing extremely thick clothes, and he was asked to be carried along the way, and when he went down, he only felt that his body was stiff and stiff, and it was a little difficult to even move his arms and legs.
After entering the study and telling everyone to level down, Fang went straight inside, changed his clothes, and then closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair. He's old...... Recently, I have become more and more uncomfortable. It's not that it's a disease in one place, it's that it's uncomfortable anywhere.
When the weather is cold, my arms and legs hurt, and when I wake up, even my neck is stiff, my waist is sore, and my complexion is ......
Thinking about it, he opened his eyes and sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Call Bai Xiu to come over." β
The little eunuch answered, bowed and withdrew.
Bai Anheng arrived, and after kneeling and saluting, Fang walked to the table according to the emperor's instructions, picked up a fold, and read it to the emperor.
The eunuchs could not read and write, because they were afraid that they would deal with the outside world privately on important matters. Although there are many of these scholars around the emperor, not all of them can be called with confidence. Earlier, if there were any important documents, the emperor himself personally reviewed them, and in recent years, his health has become worse and worse, so he will find someone to come over and read the book for him.
Reading is not enough to be literate, but no matter how you say it, people are more willing to look at people who look good, right? Even if there are pleasing ones among the palace maids and eunuchs, they can't be used indiscriminately. Like Bai Anheng, his father and brother are both on errands in the court, and they are considered close ministers of the Son of Heaven, who know how to advance and retreat, and know how to dive deeply, and the whole family is holding in the palm of the emperor's hand, not afraid that he will not do it wholeheartedly, plus Yan Zhouzheng, and he is the youngest one in the middle of the Zhizhi Dynasty, it is just right to do this errand.
After he finished his song, the emperor pondered the matter of the fold, and then opened his eyes to look at him, and felt a pity that there was no princess of the same age in the palace who could match this child, but it was cheaper for the Han family, so he put this matter aside: "The next one." β
"Yes." Respectfully putting the book aside, Bai Anheng took another book and read it again.
A few years ago, there were many things to say, not much to say, not too much, for example, here in the emperor, although there are many excerpts, but there are not many serious things. Among the memoranda that Bai Anheng read today, seven or eight out of ten are recitals to ask for peace, and there are also those who offer New Year's gifts to the emperor in advance to please Lu. However, although there are gifts, they are not as many as they are given on the annual Holy Birthday Day.
After listening to it for a long time, the emperor ordered him to rest, but he didn't know what he remembered, so he turned his head and said to Bai Anheng with a smile: "I don't know if Cong Pei's riding and shooting is good?" β
Bai Anheng hurriedly said respectfully: "Heng has been stubborn since he was a child, but he has learned some from his brother. β
The emperor nodded abruptly and said: "It is said that your eldest brother is very good at riding and shooting, and I want to go to Donglu Mountain in the coming year, so let these sons and daughters try their skills." β
Bai Anheng secretly turned around, and said with a smile on his face: "Since the minister entered Beijing, my father and mother have not allowed the minister to play on horseback anymore. β
The emperor laughed, as if choking, and coughed again in the middle of the laughter. The eunuch guarding the door hurriedly came in to give him a good breath, and it took him a long time before he waved his hand and asked people to go down: "Go and invite a few bachelors to come in." β
Bai Anheng hurriedly got up when he heard the sound and retreated.
It was clear that it had snowed, but there was no place in the palace where snow could be seen except in the jar with flowers and plants, but there was one on the roof, but it was far away.
Gently exhaling a breath of white air, Bai Anheng couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart-Donglu Mountain.
Nadonglu Mountain was originally the place where the monarch hunted over the years, a large piece of hillside meadow, surrounded by woods, and then released wild things, it was a good place for people to dabble and play.
But since six or seven years ago, it seems that because the emperor is not in good health, he has never been there. Today's incident seems to have been told by Jiang Zhe again.
"Demon ......" Originally, the two words that Han Sheng scolded Jiang Zhe clearly referred to his face comparable to that of a woman, but now it seems that his demon is not only his face!
When I went out, I turned a corner and saw my brother standing there wearing leather armor. Seeing Bai Anheng coming, he only glanced at him, and he didn't have to speak. Bai Anheng only smiled and nodded, then turned around and went to the Hanlin Academy.

Finally at the end of the year, the benefits on the Zhuangzi have been collected a few days ago, and the Gan family has become a spinning top, and even Han Yu has received the things sent from several shops and Zhuangzi that were married at the beginning.
I opened the account book and flipped through it, and couldn't help but raise my eyebrows: "Turn out the booklet of the first two years." β
Xia He hurriedly went to open the cabinet to find the account book, these things were sent to them in the first year before Han Xiao and them were married, let them try to take care of it, she knew how much money these shops had gained when she was last year, but when she saw this year's, she was still shocked.
After comparing the two, Han Xiao knew that he was really not mistaken. After a long time, Fang laughed out loud: "That girl has a good business brain." β
"What's wrong, grandma? But earned? Hearing her say this, Xia Chan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Han Yun nodded and smiled: "It's three percent more than the first year." "Don't underestimate the income of only 30% more, which is not a small amount. And this is just Han Xiaohu's idea when he pondered it, if you think about it seriously, there are more ways to make money.
Although she didn't have the whimsy that Han Xiao came up with from time to time at that time, she was still able to draw inferences, and she was more careful than Han Xiao, and the ideas that the two of them calculated on weekdays were all carefully perfected by her in the end.
After pondering for a while, he asked Xia He to bring paper and ink over, wrote down everything that came to mind, and prepared to list more details in two days and send them to the Five Princes' Mansion.
After tossing all this, it's time to go ahead. Seeing that the New Year is coming in two days, not to mention that Han Yu is unharmed at this time, he is a little uncomfortable, and he has to show his side anyway.
ββββββββ
This time, Han Xiao saw this second aunt for the first time since she learned that day that she was pregnant.
The Zhou family is not fat, but they are much thinner now. Both of them are four months old, Han Yu only has a little body, not too fat, and he can't see it if he takes a winter coat again. But on Zhou's side, although the person has lost weight, his belly is much bigger, and the folds on his face are heavier.
Zhou's sallow face, looked at Han Yu first, and said with a smile: "The two of us are coincidental, and I don't know which of the two uncles and nephews will come out first!" β
Han Xiao smiled, and couldn't think of anything to answer her for a while. Fortunately, Zhou only said this, and then turned to Gan and smiled: "The Wang Hanlin you said sounds good, in a few days, our family will have a banquet, please come and sit down?" Let your second brother pass the eye too? β
Han Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the two cousins, it stands to reason that if he wants to tell the child about his family, how can he be serious in front of the child? Don't you see that the two sisters are dead with their heads down, don't they dare to say a word?
Gan Shixian has long been accustomed to Zhou's inconsistency, and smiled: "If the second master is here at that time, he will naturally be invited out to meet." β
Zhou hurriedly asked the Hanlin family again, Han Xiao couldn't say anything when he heard it, and just as he wanted to get up and take the two cousins to avoid the gang, he saw that the Wang family had already stood up with a smile: "I have some new tricks there, why don't you come and take a look together?" β
The two cousins hurriedly got up and followed behind Wang. Wang looked at Han Xiao again, and saw that she had already stood up with the girl's hand, and also walked over: "Sister-in-law has a new trick?" I was thinking about asking them to make a few fresh belly pockets to prepare for the New Year, but my sister-in-law was willing to show me? β
"What's not to be willing to? Your embroidery work is good, I still count on you, who fell to the ground, to help Brother Jian'er make a pocket for books like his second uncle used back then. β
The sister-in-law and her party laughed and walked out of the main house, and Gan was relieved and gave Zhou a pair of ears to listen to her chatter about the Wang family. She knew that as long as she nodded, she would have to be entangled by her, but helplessly, she couldn't watch those two good children delay the pair of unobtrusive parents, right?
ββββββββ
After entering this courtyard and entering the house, Han Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although from Wang's face, she is becoming more and more vivid these days, although her appearance has not changed much, her temperament is becoming softer and quieter. But when she entered this house, she was still startled.
Originally, in this house, there were deep colors that made people's hearts feel aggrieved, where did it look like a daughter-in-law lived? To put it mildlyβthat's probably the case in a widow's house, isn't it?
But now, everywhere is elegant and soft, the porcelain table screen with ink paintings on the table, the red peony rich tent hanging on the bed, the large entwined branch multicolored official kiln open bottle standing on the ground, and a few newly cut plum red and yellow branches are inserted in it. By the window, there are turquoise low-waisted open pots, and a few clumps of daffodils are planted, half-swallowing stamens and blooming delicately.
After looking at the furnishings and displays in the room for a long time, I looked at the Wang family again, so it seems...... They must get along very well as a couple.
Han Yun was still a little afraid that Bai Anyu's temperament might snub his sister-in-law, but now it seems that he ...... The two of them get along very well.
Asked the two sisters to sit down, turned around and asked someone to put a few more cushions for Han Yu, Wang Fang went to the cabinet on the side, Guo took some fresh tricks out, and smiled at Han Xiao: "What I have here can't compare with the paintings drawn by the five princesses, not only is it not as fresh as it is, but even its painting skills are much worse." β
Han Xiao said with a smile: "My sister-in-law's appearance here is also very fresh, she likes to think about it the most, I don't like these dignified looks, if I want to find it, I can only find my sister-in-law." β
The two of them said a few polite words, then pulled the two sisters to speak, and finally saw that the two of them looked relieved, Han Xiao said, "Why didn't you see Cousin Zhou come over today?" β
Bai Ling said: "She coughed a little before, and she didn't come over today, so she was afraid that she would be sick." β
"Can you call a doctor?" "Why didn't you mention it before? In the end, it is a person. β
Saying that, the two hurriedly called their respective maids, went back to get some commonly used medicinal materials, and sent someone to send them over.
