Chapter 112: Chinese New Year's Eve
Ning Hua and Zhiwei didn't sleep for long, and they were woken up by Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zeng at about two o'clock in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The girls walked in with hot water clothes and waited.
After Ning Hua finished dressing, Zhiwei was still sleepy-eyed and sat on the bed with the quilt, her eyes were straight, and she knew that she was still fighting with Zhou Gong at a glance.
Glancing at her baby daughter, Ning Hua once again blamed Prince Jian for being troubled, if it weren't for her, she would still be in love with Duke Zhou on Zhuangzi's gentle little bed, why do you need to get up in the middle of the night!
Don't you know how much it hurts a woman's body to get up at such a time? No wonder the ancients didn't live very long, they all got up early!!
After returning to Zhuangzi, I must make up for my sleep!!
Although Ning Hua kept slandering in his heart, he also knew that the thunder, rain and dew were all Jun's grace, you could only bear it, and you couldn't resist, so you could only endure it and say to Aunt Zhang, "You help Zhiwei get dressed, be careful, don't let her catch a cold." ”
How can you sleep a little longer in the carriage, after all, there is still a distance, as for food, it has already been prepared, but due to the poor conditions, only some dry food and pastries have been prepared.
Like porridge and refreshments, you can't enter, and you're afraid of going to the thatched house.
Ning Hua couldn't help but regret it, she had known that she had brought Mama Li, how could she make some delicious egg scones, or eat rice balls or something.
The meals in the Seventh Elder Brother's Mansion are like this, and the food in the palace can be imagined, Ning Hua's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter, and he sighed.
Ning Hua asked Aunt Zhang to hold Zhiwei and get into the carriage together with the support of Baizhu.
Originally, Ning Hua wanted to hug Zhiwei by himself, but. First, he wore the clothes of Baylor Fujin, and he was afraid of it. will wake up Zhiwei, so Zhiwei will fall asleep in Aunt Zhang's arms.
Stop and go all the way to the palace. Seeing some princes, the car of the county king's family had to be avoided, no wonder they had to go out so early, otherwise, they would really be late.
Ning Hua looked at Zhiwei, who was still asleep, and suddenly felt a little envious, when he first got into the car, the seventh elder brother also allowed himself to squint on the carriage for a while, but he was naturally sensitive, and he had to lie down completely before he could rest. Therefore, I can only open my eyes and consume it like this.
However, Aunt Zhang is more experienced, and she took a nap with Zhiwei.
"Fujin, it's almost there, wake up Gege." Aunt Zhang estimated the time and discussed with Ning Hua.
"Good ......"
"Little Gege......, wake up and wake up......"
After screaming for a while, Zhiwei still ignored Ninghua and Aunt Zhang, and still put herself asleep.
Ning Hua was a little anxious, if he didn't wake up now. When the time came, I got out of the carriage and was blown by the cold wind, but it was easy to catch a cold, even if I wrapped it in a cloak.
From the small coffee table in the carriage. Sprinkled some hot water on the handkerchief and covered Zhiwei's face.
"Woo, I hate ......, people want to sleep...... E-Niang ...... "Zhiwei is very unwilling to be woken up. couldn't stop bargaining with Ning Hua.
"Don't sleep again, baby. You've got to eat something, or else. Then I'll be hungry. Ning Hua continued to wipe Zhiwei's face with the hot-water handkerchief.
In fact, it is the best effect to use cold water, but my own child, how willing to use cold water to wake her up, in case of a cold or something, the temperature in the early morning is the lowest.
Zhiwei muttered for a long time before waking up, but when I saw those pastries on the coffee table, I was not interested again!!
I want to make a backbone Gege, such an unpalatable thing, I will never eat it!!
Ning Hua saw that Zhiwei refused to eat it, and the carriage also stopped, so he could only give up, and just told Aunt Zhang to hide two pastries in case of emergency.
Bai Shu was just about to lift the curtain, but he saw Xiao Shunzi, the personal eunuch of the seventh elder brother, running up, and said through the car window, "Fu Jin, the master asked the slave to come and talk to Fu Jin, the carriage of the fourth elder brother's family has not yet arrived, and now Cheng Concubine also lives in Yonghe Palace, and when the time comes, Fu Jin will follow the four Fu Jin into the palace together, and they will also take care of each other." ”
Xiao Shunzi heard Ning Hua squeak, and then returned to the seventh elder brother to reply.
After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Shunzi saw that the fourth elder brother came on horseback, so he went to ask Fujin to get off the car at the signal of the seventh elder brother.
And the seventh elder brother greeted him, hugged his fists and said, "Fourth brother." ”
Ning Hua and the others received the notice, Bai Zhu jumped out of the carriage first, and then Ning Hua stepped on the little eunuch and got out of the carriage with the support of Bai Zhu.
After Zhiwei got out of the carriage, Ning Hua checked Zhiwei two or three times, then tightened the cloak she tied outside, and led Zhiwei to the side of the seventh elder brother and greeted the fourth elder brother and the fourth fujin.
"I'm sorry for my brother and sister." The cold voice of the fourth elder brother sounded in Ning Hua's ears.
Is this talking to me? Ning Hua was a little stunned, obviously he wanted to ask his daughter-in-law for advice.
Ning Hua raised his head, only to think that Sifu Jin was pregnant, so he said, "Fourth brother is polite, they are all his own family." ”
After speaking, he walked to Sifujin's side, hugged Sifujin and said, "Sister-in-law." ”
Seeing this, the fourth elder brother didn't say anything, so he strode towards the palace gate.
The seventh elder brother saw that the fourth elder brother left first, so he said, "Walk slower on the road, the fourth sister-in-law is heavy, let's go out early, don't be afraid, the sky is not completely bright, and the minions in some places are not cleaning carefully, and it is frozen, take your time." ”
Seeing that Ning Hua nodded and smiled again, he said to Sifu Jin, "Ning Hua is stupid, please take care of her more." ”
Sifujin smiled and nodded slightly.
"Ning Hua, let's go." Si Fujin looked at the two elder brothers who were far away, turned his head and smiled at Ning Hua.
"Actually, the seventh brother treats you really well, alas, it's a pity ......" Sifu Jin let out a long sigh after speaking, and Ning Hua didn't say anything.
Ning Hua has always avoided this issue, not wanting to mention it or talking about it.
However, I am a little curious about Concubine Cheng living in Yonghe Palace now, I remember that she lived in Changchun Palace before, why is she living in Yonghe Palace now?
Was it a mistake or what?
With Cheng Concubine's cautious and cautious approach, it is impossible to make mistakes, and it is even more impossible to be angry, not to mention, she has long been unfavored, although she has a son, however, this son is disabled, and he is not a threat to the people who take over the inheritance, but it is better to make friends and help himself.
Therefore, among the palace concubines in the palace, no brain-dead person would really bother to deal with her.
As for the new nobles who are always here, they will not be so blind, you know, they made a move to deal with Cheng Concubine in the palace, and the Seventh Elder Brother will naturally deal with their family members outside the palace, and it is definitely the Seventh Elder Brother's revenge that comes quickly.
Therefore, Ning Hua was a little puzzled.
However, it's okay to do this, with Sifujin with you, you won't go wrong when you come, and secondly, you also have a companion.
The road to Yonghe Palace is not difficult to walk, although it snowed a few days ago, however, in order not to reward Kangxi and the prince and the palace concubines for enjoying the snow to do poetry and Yaxing, most of the snow was kept, and only a few roads were swept out.
When he arrived at Yonghe Palace, Ning Hua entered the main hall and others under the leadership of Sifujin, which is said to be a specification only available in Sifujin.
Ning Hua also believed that after all, there were a few palace concubines who were younger than him waiting outside the main hall, watching people blowing cold wind outside the hall, and he followed Sifujin into the main hall, Ning Hua couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, it was naturally stronger in the warm hall than blowing cold wind outside, isn't it?
"Stained with my sister-in-law's light." Ning Hua smiled, then took the hot handkerchief handed over by the palace, warmed his hands, and wiped his face.
"You, hey, Zhiwei is asleep? Poor thing, I slept late last night. Sifujin said.
It wasn't too late to sleep, she woke up hungry, but she couldn't tell Sifujin about the ugly things at home, so she could only say, "Yes, it's easy to enter the palace again to meet the Queen Mother, a little nervous, even with it, I didn't sleep well because of Zhiwei." ”
Ning Hua said as she motioned to Aunt Zhang to wake up Zhiwei again.
"Before Niangniang comes, you feed Zhiwei something, otherwise, you have to wait until noon, we are hungry, and the children are hungry." Sifu Jin took advantage of a few big palace maids to walk away, and said softly in Ning Hua's ear.
I naturally understand this truth, but it also depends on whether the little guy is worthy of cooperation, she refuses to eat, and she can't help it.
Seeing Ning Hua's helpless look, Sifu Jin said, "You didn't prepare to eat?" ”
"Yes, yes, but it's sweet, she doesn't like to eat it." You can't say that the art of the chefs in the Seven Elder Brothers' Mansion is poor, right? What a shame it is!!
Not to mention, people see that they are only going home for a few days, and if they don't put a good cook in their own kitchen, can they say it? I can't, I can only hold on!!
Sifujin probably also understood Ning Hua's plight, so he glanced at Mama Rui, and Mama Rui handed Aunt Zhang a few pieces of beef as if she was playing a trick.
Sure enough, for a foodie like Zhiwei, the temptation of eating is obviously much greater than the temptation of Zhou Gong's love for each other.
It should be said that Sifujin's beef grains have been specially treated, at least Ning Hua can't smell it, but Zhiwei doesn't know if he really slept almost or really woke up because of the beef grains, anyway, Zhiwei woke up, and then Aunt Zhang said something in Zhiwei's ear, and Zhiwei continued to lean on Aunt Zhang to continue to fake sleep, but his mouth was drumming and agitating.
After Zhiwei dried up the beef grains provided by Mama Rui, he was completely awake, and his originally misty eyes became bright, smiling at Ning Hua and Sifujin.
Because Concubine Cheng has been living in Yonghe Palace, she was already in Concubine De's bedroom, and the two talked for a while, and when they heard the reply of the palace maid that everyone had arrived, the two of them helped each other out.
Then everyone set off to Cining Palace under the leadership of Concubine De and Concubine Cheng, and met Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong on the way.
Ning Hua couldn't help but scold when he saw the large number of people, a few days ago, I heard that Kangxi said that he wanted to advocate vigorous thrift or something, and you shouldn't reduce the number of your concubines first.
This is only part of it, some of them are small, unfavored, old and decrepit, but they are not qualified to go to the Queen Mother, and thinking of where the Queen Mother is, Ning Hua can't help but have a headache. (To be continued......)
