Volume 11 The Storm Chapter 652 The Beloved
The capital, Cao Fu.
Because of the need to follow, the Li family has already cleaned up. Hearing the news of Chu Yu's distress, Cao Yin couldn't sit still. After Wei Hei returned home to report the news, he followed the seventh elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother to find the imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital, and returned to Rehe.
According to the rules of the past, the officials and subordinates of Suihu had to follow behind the holy car, thirty or forty miles, and the journey to Rehe took half a month.
Chu Yu is not only a noble person, but also the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, the mother of the grandson of the Cao family, and the future mistress of the Cao family. If Chu Yu is in the way, it will be like half the sky has collapsed.
It was really impossible to hide it, and for fear of scaring the Li family, Cao Yin concealed the "bounty for assassination", only saying that he had an emergency, which was a bit dangerous. The son has sent a letter to the royal court, and asked the imperial doctor.
Rao is like this, and it is also a bluff that makes Li's face change greatly, and he recites "Amitabha".
After the old couple discussed, it was decided that the Li family would take Tianyou and the Hengsheng brothers first. Changsheng was too young to take it with him, so he asked Amethyst to help take care of it. As for whether Changsheng will go to Rehe or not, I'll wait for a reply from there.
Because Cao Yin also had to go out of Beijing with Hu, there was no man in charge of the family. Cao Song's side, he asked the sixteenth elder brother to greet the adults in the guard, change shifts with others, and stay in the capital on an errand.
Before the accident, the Li family originally wanted to take Amethyst, Tian and others to Rehe together, and the right to go out for a walk. It's just that since Chu Yu has happened, who is still in the mood to play?
The housework was originally intended to be entrusted to the Zhaojia family, but because the Zhaojia family had a lot of complaints about Amethyst, Tian's, etc., the Li family was afraid of extraneous branches, so he asked Cao Song and Amethyst to discuss with Cao Yi if they had any undecided ideas.
Cao Jia's family has been married for many years, and because of the limitation of his identity, it is not good to go back to his parents' house often, while Cao Yi is closer to his parents' family.
Everything was arranged, it was already evening, and it happened that Fujin, the prince of Chunjun, sent the eldest brother Hongshu over.
King Chun Fujin and Fang Fujin were also in a hurry to Rehe, and when they heard that the Li family was also going to leave, they asked her to go with them.
Everyone went for Chu Yu, and the Li family had nothing to say, so they made an appointment to set off together.
Zhao Jia's side had already received news and hurried over with Jinghui.
"Why did you get sick when you were so good? Do you want to go back to Beijing to ask for a doctor? "Zhaojia is a anxious surname, and when he saw that Li didn't care about those false courtesies, he asked directly.
Li's heart was also in a mess, and he asked Zhaojia to sit down before replying: "I didn't make it clear when I came back to report the news. The prince of the palace over there has already followed the imperial doctor to Rehe, and I will go to Rehe with the two Fujin over there tomorrow morning. ”
When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, pulled Li's sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, is this brother Hao rushing with the outside of the customs?" Why do accidents happen every year? Brother Hao's daughter-in-law looks like she is blessed, and she has suffered a lot in the past few years. Do you want to invite a great god to do a few rituals to drive away evil spirits? ”
When he said these words, Zhao Jia's heart twitched when he thought of his second son who died early. Thinking of this, she didn't think that it was Cao Hao who was in conflict with Guan Wai, but she suspected that there was something wrong with the feng shui at home.
Especially in Dongfu, it was originally only said that it was the imperial history of the old man returning to his hometown, but later I faintly heard that it was because of other things that ruined the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jia's became more and more energetic, and said to Li's family: "I will ask someone to do it tomorrow, and the temple must also give up some sesame oil to show integrity." ”
After all, the Li family is a woman and Taoist, and they are afraid of gods and Buddhas. After hearing Zhao Jia's words, she also had a little hope, and told Caiying to take out a wooden box from the kang cabinet.
"Tomorrow, before dawn, I'm going to go out of the city. This is doing something or something, and you have to bother your younger siblings. This is a hundred taels of silver, and the younger brother and sister will use it first, and if it is not enough, they will have it paid in the account. Li pushed the box in front of Zhao Jia and said.
Although Zhao Jia's family loves silver, he is also a little embarrassed at the moment, and said: "Look at what my sister-in-law said, I am also Chu Yu's own aunt." I also gave a hundred taels, even if I joined my sister-in-law's, even if I did the Dharma for two months, it was enough. ”
Seeing her like this, Li had to get up again and thank her.
Zhao Jia's family was still waiting for the Li family to mention the housework, but he couldn't wait for him to speak, so he couldn't sit still. In the end, I couldn't help but speak: "Sister-in-law, you and your uncle are both going to Rehe, and the housework in this house ......"
"Yes, my lord and I are not at home, I'm afraid that I will make my second nephew feel bad." Lee's Road.
Hearing that it was entrusted to Cao Song, Zhao Jiashi smiled and didn't say anything more.
When Cao Yin came back, it was already late at night, and Zhao Jia's got up and went home.
Cao Yin knew the truth, and he was also worried in his heart, so he asked the Li family to find out all the medicinal materials and supplements at home.
Since the landing of Changsheng, he has been taken care of by the Li family, and he has never left the front of him. Li hugged him in his arms, made a lot of affection, and personally coaxed him to sleep, before he asked ** to hug him.
When Cao Yin saw it, he was afraid that she would not be at ease, so he said: "It's really not good, let the second daughter-in-law see the longevity?" Do you want to send it to the three girls? ”
Li shook his head and said, "Jinghui is happy for the first time, how can she have the energy to take care of the child; It's not that I haven't thought about it on the third girl's side, but I heard that the in-laws' wife is sick now, and the three girls are serving the sick, and they can't be idle. I've entrusted it to Amethyst, she's a proper person, and there's nothing to worry about. It's just that in the end it's my mother's heart, and I think that I can't see it for some time, so I really panic. ”
Cao Yin heard that it was left for Amethyst to take care of, so he was slightly stunned and said: "Amethyst housekeeper is okay, in the end, it is a girl's family who has not left the pavilion, and Changsheng is a little younger." ”
"Tian's Tongrong Courtyard is also a half-solicitor, which one is not entrusted to Amethyst? His second aunt mentioned it today, but I didn't dare to respond. I heard that her addiction to smoking is getting bigger and bigger, and she fell asleep after eating cigarettes last month, and her bedding was burned, which made people scared. I persuaded her several times to make her eat two less bites. She said that if she didn't eat, she wouldn't be able to sleep well. On my mother's side, she has always been idle and unfamiliar with housework. Li said babblingly.
In Cao Yin's heart, he also wanted to go to Rehe with his wife first, but the seventh elder brother had already gone, and no matter how much fanfare he made, he didn't know what Kangxi would think.
The husband and wife said a few more words of homely things, and then settled.
Because the appointment with the Chunjun Wangfu was to meet at Xizhimen, the Li family and Cao Yin got up early in the early morning.
On the other side of the Aoi Temple, Amethyst faced the Bodhisattva, and did not close her eyes for half a night. Although I don't know what kind of emergency Chu Yu is, looking at the movements of the Li family and the Chunjun Royal Mansion makes people's hearts tremble.
When it was ugly, she called up the brothers Tianyou and Hengsheng, and while dressing the two little ones, she told the two of them not to be naughty, so as to save the wife from worrying.
Although the two little brothers knew that they were going out, they were also a little confused when they heard Amethyst. Tianyou raised his little neck and asked puzzledly, "Isn't my aunt going too?" Didn't you say you still have to watch us learn to ride horses? ”
Amethyst put on a hat for him, fastened the buttons on his vest, and said, "My aunt wants to take care of the house, so I won't go first, Tianyou and my brother and wife will go first." ”
"What about the little aunt and the left resident?" Tianyou still asked without giving up.
Seeing that Tianyou was innocent, Hengsheng also looked at it with his neck tilted, Amethyst sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Maybe they will go over in a few days, you go first." ”
Although Amethyst did not explain the reason, it is the most sensitive in children, and they have already noticed that the atmosphere is different.
The two little brothers got dressed, held hands, and looked at Amethyst without speaking.
Amethyst squatted down, looked at Tianyou and Hengsheng and said: "You are all in school, you are also a little man, you are cold and hungry or something, you must know how to speak, don't get sick on the road and cause chaos to the adults." ”
Tianyou and Hengsheng didn't seem to understand, but they both nodded their little heads.
"When you arrive in Rehe...... Amethyst hesitated for a moment and said, "When you arrive in Rehe and meet your parents, you must also be sensible and know how to take care of your sister......"
Before he finished speaking, Hengsheng had already pulled the placket of Amethyst's coat and whispered, "Auntie......"
Looking at Hengsheng's worried little face, Amethyst noticed that his face was cold, and he hurriedly turned his head to wipe it clean. Then, he smiled and looked at the two of them again, and when they were indeed properly packed, he asked someone to take the luggage and send them to the Orchid Courtyard.
Breakfast has been set up here, and Li and Cao Yin have finished their meal and are waiting for their grandchildren to come.
Seeing that Amethyst was coming, Li took out a bunch of keys, handed them to her, and said, "In the house, you will have to bother the girl." ”
Amethyst took it with both hands and said, "It's the slave who should do it, and the wife should take care of her on the road, don't be too tired." If there is something uncomfortable, the uncle and grandmother will also feel uneasy. ”
Li nodded, watching Tianyou and Hengsheng use the morning, only with Cao Yin, one hand led out of the house.
As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, I saw someone waiting with a lantern, it was Dong Suxin, Tian, and Lianqiu. Niuniu is also there, holding Xiqiu's hand, no longer smiling like usual.
"Why did you get up in the middle of the night?" Li shook his head and said, "Although it's summer, it's windy at night, so let's go back and rest." ”
Tian said: "Although we can't follow my wife to take care of it, we are also worried about it. If you don't send it out, who can sleep. ”
Sisters Lianqiu and Xiqiu echoed, handed a food box to Li's maid, and said to Li: "These little food made by our sisters are all made according to the taste of the wife and the young master, and the wife and the young master are hungry on the way. ”
Li Shi listened and was quite moved.
After Dong Suxin finished speaking, he had already taken out a bag from his sleeve, handed it to Li with both hands, and said, "Madam, this bottle of peppermint oil was given by the little lord of the harem when he was in the palace." If the wife is not tired of the carriage and horses, pour out a few drops and wipe the temples, and it is estimated that it will be better. ”
Li took it and said to everyone: "It's hard to worry about the big guys, it's not early, then I'll go out first." ”
Everyone gathered around and sent the Li family out of the second gate.
Cao Song and his wife took Cao Xiang and Cao Fu to wait at the gate, except for the Li family who accompanied Chunjun Wang Fujin and them to Rehe, Cao Yin will also go out of Beijing with Hu from now on.
Seeing Cao Yin and his wife come out, everyone bowed down and saluted.
Li Shi hurriedly supported Jinghui and said, "Carefully flashed your waist." It's not that outsiders don't care about these false courtesies. ”
Jing Hui said: "Our wife was worried about coming to see off the eldest wife, and I didn't want to go back last night without sleeping steadily, so when I saw the wind, I asked my nephew and daughter-in-law to tell the eldest lady that she would not come out to send it." When it comes to doing things, please rest assured that the eldest lady is at ease. ”
Li nodded in response, Cao Yin looked at a few nephews, and said to Cao Song: "The two mansions will be handed over to you, be more attentive and be careful." Speaking of this, he said to Cao Xiang and the two of them: "Good students study, listen to my brother's words, don't fool around with people." ”
Cao Song and his brothers lowered their hands to listen, and bowed down.
There are already a few carriages waiting here, in addition to the two carriages of Cao Yin and the Li family, there are also two for the accompanying maids.
After Cao Yin got into the car, Li turned around and told everyone to go back, and then took his two grandchildren and got into his own carriage.
The ladies were only sent here, the Cao Song brothers were sent outside the gate, Cao Song rode a horse and sent the Li family out of the city, and Cao Xiang and Cao Fu waited for the carriage to get farther away before turning around and going home.
The two brothers were a little worried.
Cao Xiang has already told his brother for half a month, but he hasn't talked about Cao Song yet. Cao Song bit tightly, wanting to go out of business, and wanting to be a maid as a wife.
The left and right green chrysanthemums are the sons of the family, if Cao Xiang insists on acting recklessly, then the family law will deal with the unruly girl.
Cao Xiang grinded hard and foamed, but Cao Song always refused to let go. Cao Xiang only then realized that he was not thoughtful, and he was afraid that he would be implicated in Lu Ju, and the matter would be deadlocked.
In the past few days, he has obtained the letter of approval, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, he will be able to take documents from the Ministry of Officials and leave Beijing.
Since his brother didn't allow it, he thought about asking his uncle to make the decision. But thinking of his uncle's surname Zi Fangzheng, he was afraid that he would be more rigid than his brother, so he didn't act rashly.
He already had an idea in his heart, but he really couldn't do it, so he didn't mention the matter of getting married first, and thought of giving Lu Ju to leave the country first, and then do the family affairs after leaving Beijing.
In the past half a month, he is also looking forward to his cousin coming back from his errand as soon as possible.
Although he is not close to him, he thinks that this cousin and sister-in-law are in love, so they got married. If he begs, maybe he can help him say a few good words.
But he forgot that his cousin and sister-in-law were also "the order of their parents, the words of the matchmaker", and when they didn't go to the cave room, they didn't know that the other party was sacred.
My cousin-in-law is very virtuous, and if there is a real emergency, then there is only one cousin left...... The nephews and nieces are also pitiful...... Cao Fu thought about it was another matter, complaining that the world was paying attention to "marrying a woman from a low door and marrying a woman from a high door", and it was really reasonable.
Chu Yu is the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, even if she is sick, she will take good care of it, and let her mother-in-law go over to serve the sick, what is this called? If she is a woman from an ordinary family, she dares to play such a shelf, and she has already handed over a letter of resignation.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he whispered to Cao Xiang: "Fourth brother, the eldest brother is so unreasonable. Uncle Niang is also a person who runs fifty, and this is not the way of ten miles and eight miles. Even if you are sick, there is a doctor, what is the use of the aunt going. Isn't that a toss-up? Does this count as 'marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother'? Others still say that he is filial, is there such a filial piety method? ”
When Cao Xiang heard this, he couldn't help frowning, stopped, and said to Cao Fu: "I know that you have been close to your aunt since you were a child, but you can't say that." If it weren't for the fact that my sister-in-law was very sick, my uncle and aunt would not be so anxious. Let's be younger brothers, it's too late to worry about my brother and sister-in-law, how can we say cool things? ”
Cao Fu stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I just said one sentence, but it attracted a bunch of words from the fourth brother." Is it that the country's eunuchs are all old men, but the fourth brother is more and more stunned. ”
Seeing Cao Fu's hippie smiling face and unsorrowful appearance, Cao Xiang was really envious. He patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "You're fifteen years old, not a child." The second brother is on an errand in the palace, and sometimes he can't come back every day, and you will do your best in the future. ”
Cao Fu waved his hand and said, "Don't tell my brother this, there is still a fourth brother on the left and right, is it still my turn to worry about it?" I just went to my school, read my books, and stayed up until I was old enough to follow my uncle on an errand. The uncle is also about to be sixty, and he has to be waited for. The eldest brother is capable and wants to get ahead. The younger brother didn't expect anything big, so he just had to be a long-term follower by the uncle's side. ”
Although it is not from the same mother, their brothers are of the same age, and they always played together when they were young. Therefore, Cao Xiang is very close to this younger brother and knows his younger brother's thoughts.
Earlier, he only thought that he was a child's surname, and he had a grudge against his cousin. Unexpectedly, after all these years, he was still hostile to his cousin.
Cao Xiang couldn't help but be a little worried, looked at Cao Fu and said: "You can't write two Cao characters in one stroke, Xiao Wu, you have to remember that the eldest brother is the beloved son of the uncle and the uncle, and he is our cousin." We are both prosperous and loss-oriented. ”
Cao Fu was already a little impatient when he heard this, and pouted: "Fourth brother is really, can I still be a rebel of the Cao family?" Whoever has the heart to intrigue throughout the whole day, with that kung fu, is it okay for me to memorize two more poems......"
* Rehe, Chunwangfu Garden, West Courtyard, Upper Room.
Another night passed, and Chu Yu still had a high fever. Even though the liquor and ice kept cooling her, it didn't take long for her to burn again.
In addition to pouring ginseng soup and ginseng slices, Cao Hao also asked someone to boil pear juice and fed Chu Yu twice mouth-to-mouth.
Although he has no appetite and tastes like chewing wax, Cao Hao also began to eat, and he was full.
Even after coming overnight, his body has been boiled to the extreme. Already a few times, he almost fainted. He was vigilant in his own heart, knowing that at this time, he could not fall ill.
It's just that he still doesn't dare to sleep.
As time passed, the doctor's face became more and more ugly every time he came to check the pulse, and Cao Hao's heart hung in his throat.
At noon, Zhang Yi took a higher purity of soju from the pot Zhuangzi, and Cao Hao didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he rubbed it carefully for Chu Yu.
I don't know if it was burned or if the alcohol played a role, but at dusk, Chu Yu's body temperature finally slowly dropped.
Although Chu Yu had not yet opened his eyes, his breathing gradually stabilized, and the wound on his chest was also scabbed, and there was no sign of suppuration.
Cao Hao's heart is already thankful.
At dinner, Cao Hao ate three bowls in one go, until he couldn't swallow anymore before putting down his chopsticks.
He was already secretly praying in his heart, and he would no longer dare to be greedy, and he would no longer dare to live in confusion. In the future, you must be a good person, pave roads and build bridges, and accumulate virtue and do good.
Just begg, let the woman in front of him wake up, so that he will not be alone.
I always moaned without illness before, posing as lonely as a child, what kind of calf to pretend?
With this woman by his side, he is no longer alone.
Cao Hao sat on the edge of the bed like this, holding his wife's hand and looking at her face.
In the end, it wasn't iron, he didn't sleep for a few nights, he was already sleepy, and he closed his eyes unconsciously.
It was late at night, and there was only one lamp burning in the room, which glowed softly.
"Uh-huh......" With a low, inaudible moan, Chu Yu slowly opened his eyes.
Under the light, her husband leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes. Chu Yu looked down at her husband's hand, and finally fell into her own hand.
She tried to shake her husband's hand back, but she had no strength in her body, so she moved her little finger and put it on her husband's finger, then closed her eyes and fell into a groggy sleep......
