Chapter 104: Going up the mountain to pay New Year's greetings
"Old lady, the eldest master, the second master, the third master and several young masters have come to greet you."
With a report, Baili Kong, Baili Yun, Baili Feng, Baili Chenghui and other sons and grandchildren entered the hall to greet the old lady.
Four generations are in the same house, and the old lady is also happy to see the scene of her children and grandchildren, and naturally feels that she is very blessed.
After leaving Shou'an Hall, Baili Yanqing and Mo Yan went to Zhuyuan, and casually brought Baili Wenxiu. Zhuyuan is a place where Baili is empty, and it is also a forbidden place in Baili Mansion, even the eldest lady does not want to enter, and she has to agree to Baili Kong.
But Baili Yanqing and Mo Yan came and went freely in the bamboo garden, and even brought Baili Wenxiu to show their faces in front of Baili Kong, although Baili Wenxiu was just a concubine, no matter how much it didn't hinder the interests of the sister-in-law, but because they could get close to Zhuyuan, it still made many people's eyes red.
"Uncle, you should also take Yu'er and step-son to Zhuyuan to meet your father." Cui Yingying heard that Baili Wenxiu went to Zhuyuan, and she was a little angry at the moment, so she had to beg Baili Chenghui to bring Baili Yanyu and Baili Wenji over to get close to Baili Kong.
Bailikong is the head of the family, plus he is still young, and he has to be the master of Baili Mansion for many years, Cui Yingying feels that the person who should accompany Bailikong is her son and daughter, and no one else is worthy.
In the past, Baili Wenji was still young, but now that Baili Wenji is two years old, he should also have the opportunity to go to Zhuyuan.
"Father doesn't like to bother, if he wants to see Yu'er and step-son, he will summon him." Baili Chenghui said, Baili Wenji is still young, and he loves to cry, and he went to Zhuyuan, if his father is not happy, it will not be good.
In addition, the stepchild is the eldest grandson, Baili Chenghui is not worried about this, and his father also told him that when the stepchild was three years old, he went to Zhuyuan to be raised by his father himself.
"Yu'er's stepson is also her father's grandson, and her father is always partial. The eldest lady and Mo Yan forget it, but the eldest young master is a concubine, why should he go to the bamboo garden. As soon as she thought of this, Cui Yingying was very unconvinced.
"Don't worry, Wenxiu is a concubine, she should be a stepchild, and no one can take it. My stepson is my sister-in-law, and everything in this Baili Mansion will belong to my stepson in the future, and my father has great hopes for my stepson. Baili Chenghui coaxed, he also knew Cui Yingying's careful thoughts. Not surprising.
"That's true, but the uncle also said that the stepson is a grandson, but if the grandson is not liked by the father, it will not be so smooth." As soon as she thought of this, Cui Yingying was very unconvinced, the son-in-law she gave birth to was loved in all kinds of ways in Cui's Mansion, but when she arrived in Baili Mansion, she was not as good as a granddaughter, or even as an outsider.
Father said. When his stepchild is three years old, he will live in Zhuyuan and be raised by his father himself, so don't worry. The comfort in Baili Chenghui's words was heard in Cui Yingying's ears. That's very harsh.
"What, my stepchild is going to live in the bamboo garden when he is three years old." Cui Yingying stared at Baili Chenghui with wide eyes, saw Baili Chenghui nodded, and said busily: "My stepchild is still young." Why did I live in Zhuyuan, what did I do wrong, my father actually wanted to take his stepchild to Zhuyuan. ”
Cui Yingying was very aggrieved in her words. looked like she was going to rob her son, and even felt that her son was going to Zhuyuan, so it would be very difficult to see her in the future. The place in Zhuyuan is not something she can get close to casually, and even after being married to Baili Mansion for five years, Cui Yingying has never stepped into Zhuyuan once.
Baili Chenghui disagreed, his son is the eldest grandson, and it is normal for him to be raised by his father, plus he knows his level and can't teach his children anything, so it is good for his son-in-law to be raised by his father.
Even Baili Chenghui was very disappointed when he thought that he had not been raised by his father's side since he was a child, and he always felt that there was a lump.
Look at the two cousins who have been guided by his father, and even Baili Chengsong of the second uncle's family, all of them are better than him. If he had been taught by his father, he would definitely not be as unconfident as he is now, and he would even be a little anxious about political affairs and clan affairs.
Now his father is also teaching him very hard, but he doesn't have that mind, and he feels very hard, and he has the urge to escape. But Baili Chenghui didn't want to be taken away from his own things in the future, and he was afraid that his father would be disappointed, so when he heard that his father was going to raise his son personally, Baili Chenghui was happy.
"My father spoke immediately, and he just listened." Baili Chenghui said a word, and Cui Yingying didn't refute it anymore, but she took this matter to heart.
If the son lives in the bamboo garden, he will see her biological mother less in the future, and what will happen when the time comes. Cui Yingying is not a stupid person, she naturally knows the benefits of Bailikong's teaching, and she has no objection, but she doesn't want her son to live in Zhuyuan.
Cui Yingying made up her mind and found a way to let her son live in an independent son's courtyard, so that it would be convenient for her biological mother to go to see it, and it would be easier to even call her son over. When she arrived at Zhuyuan, where there was a hundred miles of empty territory, she was just a daughter-in-law, how could she go to her father-in-law's place at will. Besides, Cui Yingying doesn't like to ask for instructions, it's not easy to see a son, and she is depressed when she thinks about it.
On the first day of the new year, they do not go to the door, but from the second day of the new year, everyone begins to go to relatives, and the married aunt and grandmother can also go back to their parents' house on this day.
Baili Mansion is now married to two aunts and grandmothers, but both of them have married into the royal family, the eldest aunt and grandmother Baili Lingshan have become the emperor's concubines, and the aunt and grandmother Baili Ruxuan are the side concubines of King Rui. How can it be so easy to return to her parents' house after entering the royal family, if Baili Ruxuan is Princess Rui, it is fine, but it is even more difficult for the side concubine.
There is no aunt and grandmother in Baili Mansion to go back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, but the eldest lady and Cui Yingying are also preparing to go back to their parents' house to pay New Year's greetings.
Mo Yan and Baili Yanqing got Bailikong's permission, and went to the White Horse Temple, but Yan Qinghao and Yan Yuheng were not there, and the New Year was over, and there was a banquet in the palace, and they all entered the palace.
"Hello Master Huineng and Grandpa Mo, we will accompany you for the New Year." Baili Yanqing took Mo Yan's hand and said.
Mo Lao smiled and said to Master Huineng: "Look at how good this kid is, there are still people who remember me as an old man and as a monk like you." ”
Master Huineng smiled kindly and asked the precepts to arrange the fasting meal, and Baili Yanqing and Mo Yan followed.
The rice at Hakuba Temple is still delicious, and it is really delicious to eat once or twice, but it must be a little boring if you eat it often. Baili Yanqing has eaten it once or twice, the meal is very simple, there is no oil and water, and the food is green vegetables, tofu and melon vegetables, which are very light.
Master Huineng is used to eating fasting meals, which is already very common, plus monks, if he goes out to eat, it is good to be full. The precepts and Mo Lao and Mo Yan are also very adaptable, but Baili Yanqing is not full, she feels that her appetite is not there, watching the precepts and Mo Yan's two babies sweep away the food, Baili Yanqing feels that they are really easy to raise.
"Let's go, let's go catch the chickens." The precept took Baili Yanqing's hand and whispered.
Baili Yanqing looked at the stomach of the precepts, this guy has eaten a lot just now, and he can still eat it if he eats it again. Mo Yan also agreed, and looked at Baili Yanqing with shining eyes, and Mo Lao's ears moved, and he hurriedly said: "Go play, I have to play chess with Master Huineng, don't bother." ”
The three of them smiled, got out of Master Huineng's courtyard, and ran towards the back mountain.
"I'm going to eat grilled fish." As soon as Mo Yan reached the side of the stream, he looked at the fish in the stream and said.
"I want chicken, and I want fish." The precepts are desired.
So, the three babies caught a few fish first, and then went into the woods to catch game, but they didn't see the game, and they saw a lot of fruit.
Baili Yanqing's eyes lit up, she actually saw the twisted fruit and the sour plum, "Precepts, you go back and get a basket, let's pick the fruit." ”
"You can't eat it, it's sour." The precept pointed to the plum and said.
"It's sweet when it's red." Baili Yanqing loves to eat sour, especially plums, I didn't expect to find such fruits here.
"It's not sour, do you want to eat this, Yao Jinniang, this is delicious. There is also a kind of fruit in the back mountain, the red fruit that Senior Brother Jieyan took me to pick. The precept said, but obediently went back to get the basket.
Baili Yanqing was very happy, jumped up the tree lightly, picked a redder one and threw it to Mo Yan, and picked a greener one herself, took out a handkerchief and wiped it and took a bite, the taste was endless.
"It's delicious, it's just a little sour." Mo Yan finished eating one, watching Baili Yanqing eat the green one, and also picked a green one to eat, but he just took a bite, and when he screamed, he was busy throwing away.
"It's souring me, Qing'er, why aren't you afraid, your teeth are going to be sour." Mo Yan's eyes narrowed.
"Haha, you can't eat sour, just pick up the red ones and eat them, the green ones are naturally sour." Baili Yanqing looked at Mo Yan's wrinkled little face and laughed at the moment.
"Qing'er is too unkind." Mo Yan said, and said, "You are so relieved that you are not afraid of poison." ”
"These two are not poisonous, and the others dare not be said." She only knows these two, Wang Ma likes to eat sour, so she once bought plums to eat, and she happened to see it, and she also liked it, but Wang Ma didn't let her eat too much.
The twisted fruit is a small red fruit brought to her by Wang's mother from the countryside to eat, as big as a thumb, also known as thumb fruit, and there is no sale on the market.
"Well, this one is delicious, but it's too small." Mo Yan ate a few twisted fruits.
Soon the precepts came back, but they brought Yan Yuheng over, and Baili Yanqing was very surprised, "Yuheng, aren't you celebrating the New Year in the palace." ”
"I just came back after dinner, and my father heard that you arrived at the White Horse Temple, so he brought me over." Yan Yuheng smiled, "Listen to the precepts, Sister Qing'er wants to pick fruits, let's go together." ”
"Okay, I have fruit to eat today." Baili Yanqing was happy, but she didn't expect that there were a lot of wild fruits in this mountain, and some of them were sold on the street, but few people came to the back mountain of this temple.
The back mountain of Master Huineng's courtyard is a protected area, and the pilgrims can't cross this side, and when they see these fruits, Baili Yanqing is naturally excited. (To be continued......)
