Chapter 294: Returning to the Province (I)

His Majesty said that Hongshu brought someone to pick up his sister and nephew back to the province. Because Cao Yin and his wife are in Beijing, although Hongshu has a noble status, he is a junior after all, so he still made a special trip to meet him.

He is the status of the emperor's grandson, how can Cao Yin and his wife accept his courtesy? still avoided it, said greetings to the prince and Fujin, and said a few polite sentences.

Hongshu is seventeen, stopped studying in the study, and followed his father to work in the Ministry of Rites. Now the king of Chunjun went to Changchun Garden again, left his son in the city, and took the eldest daughter's family back to the province.

Cao Yin was going to visit a friend, and on the Li family's side, Wang Fujin of Pingjun also sent someone to pick him up. The Li family wanted to take Wu'er to the palace, but Wu'er followed Chu Yu and refused to move. In the end, it was Chu Yu who led her back to her parents' house.

helped Chu Yu to get into the carriage, Cao Hao got on the horse, and walked side by side with Hongshu.

Hongshu got married last year, and he married Borzigit, the daughter of a Mongolian squire, who got married last year. Because it was Chu Yu's half-brother and the first time he married a daughter-in-law in the palace, Cao Hao and Chu Yu made a special trip to send many congratulatory gifts.

Hongshu saw Cao Hao and couldn't help but thank him again. Cao Hao saw that he was a little thin, with a faint look of exhaustion on his face, a little uneasy, and asked, "What?" Heavy on errands in the ministry? ”

Hongshu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that I've been busy with the ceremony recently, and there are more places to run with Amma." Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Hao and said, "Look at my brother-in-law's complexion, but he seems to be more energetic than last year!" ”

"Sleep every time it's dark, just mess up!" Cao Hao smiled, but remembering that his brother-in-law was still newly married, his eyes couldn't help but be a little ambiguous when he looked at him, and pointed to Hongshu and said: "I can't complain to see you cleared, it turned out to be a newlywed Yan'er, I'm afraid it's going to be night after night!" ”

Hongshu didn't refute, but looked back at Chu Yu's carriage and said to Cao Hao: "My brother-in-law has always been capable, and he is the only son in the family, and my sister is really blessed to marry you." ”

These words turned a little fast, Cao Hao remembered the matter of the Chunjun Wangfu Fujin raising the sixth elder brother Hongjing, thought about it for a while, and persuaded Hongshu: "If it is for the sixth elder brother's business, don't be too entangled, in the end, you still need the prince to make an idea." Even if it is raised in the name of his mother-in-law, the royal jade can't be blinded, so there is no need to worry about it. ”

Hongshu frowned, shook his head, and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm not worried about these. Amma had already told me that it reassured me. I am...... I think I'm a big man, I'm here and there, it's boring! Speaking of this, he sighed and looked at the birds in the distance, very lonely: "It's better when I was a child, I thought about riding a horse and shooting arrows all day, and I didn't care about anything else." ”

Cao Hao listened, but he didn't know how to comfort him. Not only Hongshu, but how many sixteen or seventeen teenagers in this era can still be children? Not to mention that Hongshu is the eldest son, or the eldest son of the county king's mansion, there are even more people who need to go back and forth.

After the group passed the front door and entered Dongjiang Mi Lane, someone had already greeted them at the gate of the palace, it was Hongzhuo and Hongxin's little brothers.

The two have always been close to Cao Hao, and when they saw him coming, they greeted him with a smile.

Cao Hao turned over and dismounted, reached out and touched Hongxin's head, glanced at Hongzhuo again, and said with a smile: "It's only been a few months, and the second brother is tall again!" ”

Hongzhuo said to Cao Hao with a little dissatisfaction: "Brother-in-law, I'm fourteen years old, not a child anymore!" For some reason, he glanced at Hongshu as if he were talking, and his expression was a little detached.

While speaking, the carriage entered the gate of the palace and stopped outside the Yimen. Although Chu Yu's ankle was seen by the doctor yesterday afternoon, and he also rubbed a lot of medicinal wine, it was still a little inconvenient, and he was supported by Xiyun and Xicai.

When Hong Xin saw it, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly rushed up, holding Chu Yu's arm, raised his head, and asked Chu Yu, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Hongzhuo's face immediately drooped, turned his head, stared at Cao Hao, his eyes were like knives, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Cao Hao frowned slightly, feeling very uncomfortable, not because of Hongzhuo's attitude towards him, but because he found that Hongzhuo seemed to have changed a lot, and the whole person became sharper.

Chu Yu smiled and replied to Hongxin: "I twisted my foot at the bottom of the flower pot yesterday, it's no big deal, don't worry, fourth brother!" ”

Cui'er took Wu'er by the hand, ** hugged Xiao Tianyou, and also got out of the carriage.

Hongxin let go of Chu Yu as if he had seen a toy, first went to see Tianyou, and then touched Wu'er's pigtails, hugged them, and said to Chu Yu: "Sister, ** is holding a nephew, who is this little girl?" Strangely good-looking! ”

Wu'er was so frightened by Hongxin that her little face turned white, waved her little hand to Chu Yu, and called, "Sister-in-law...... Mommy ......"

These words, Chu Yu was afraid that Wu'er would leak her mouth in front of her mother-in-law, so she went over and over again to teach her to change her words. Although it is rare to call "mother" recently, but when Hongxin was frightened, Wu'er called the wrong one again.

Chu Yu said to Hongxin angrily: "This is Wu'er, sister's sister-in-law, don't scare her." Speaking of this, he smiled and said to Wu'er: "Wu'er is good, this is my brother, call someone quickly!" ”

Although Wu'er didn't cry, her little face shrunk into a bun, and she didn't look at Hongxin, she wrenched her fingers and whispered: "Brother! ”

The second gate is an inner house, Cao Hao is not easy to enter, Hongshu instructed the mother-in-law on duty to go to tell Fujin, and said that Da Gege is back.

Waiting for the mother-in-law to answer the call and was about to leave, Hongzhuo called the mother-in-law and said to Hongshu: "E-niang has been waiting for a long time, my fourth brother and I will send my sister and nephew in, and the eldest brother will accompany my brother-in-law to talk in the front hall!" ”

Hongshu's face was a little stiff, he glanced at his younger brother, and finally nodded.

Even Chu Yu, who had just gotten out of the carriage, also noticed that something was wrong with his younger brothers, but now was not the time to speak.

With the support of his younger brother, Chu Yu had just entered the second gate, and Chunwang Fujin had already received the news and brought someone to greet him.

Seeing that Chu Yu's legs and feet were a little inconvenient, King Chun Fujin was startled, and asked with great concern: "Da Gege, what's going on?" ”

Chu Yu smiled and said, "E-Niang doesn't have to worry, it's just that I accidentally twisted my foot yesterday, and it's fine." ”

While speaking, everyone had already arrived at the main room of the inner courtyard.

This is the first time Xiao Tianyou has gone to his grandfather's house, and all of you Fujin, side Fujin, and Shu Fujin are all grandmothers, so naturally they have to give their own gifts; looked at the pink carved Wu'er again, and I didn't like it so much. Especially the Shufujin Yiergen Jue Luo clan, who folded a small grid a few years ago, looking at Wu'er's cute appearance, it is rare to get anything.

Chu Yu sat on the kang, and saw that her biological mother Nala was followed by a tall young woman wearing a big red flag suit, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

When King Chun Fujin saw Chu Yu looking at the new daughter-in-law, he smiled and said to Chu Yu: "This is your brother and daughter-in-law, Borzigit, you are still the first time you have seen it!" After speaking, he said to Borzigit: "This is your big sister, I haven't seen it soon!" ”

Borzigit glanced at Chunwang Fujin lightly, answered "yes", and stepped forward to greet Chu Yu.

Chu Yu smiled and looked carefully, although the appearance of the Borzigit clan was not outstanding, but it looked very dignified, and he was worthy of the identity of the daughter-in-law of the county king's mansion. She looked up at Nara again, and saw that her biological mother looked at her daughter-in-law with a very soft gaze.

Borzigit saw Chu Yu and retreated to his mother-in-law, very well-behaved. Chu Yu's heart was a little relieved, because he heard that this brother and daughter-in-law were relatives of the Queen Mother, and he was worried that it was an arrogant Mongolian Gege, but now it seems to be good.

While talking, someone had already picked up a few Gege to see his sister and nephew.

The two grids of the same mother as Chu Yu, the five grids from Chang Fujin, and the seven grids from Li Jia's family of Shu Fujin. The three sisters walked up to Chu Yu and met her sister.

Two grids fifteen, five grids thirteen, all slim, girlish appearance; There are only seven grids, which landed a month before Kangxi Chuyu got married, only a few months older than Wu'er. Qigege looked at Wu'er sitting next to Chu Yu, very curious, wanted to go over and speak but didn't dare, but still had ** to lead him and returned to his biological mother next to him.

Chu Yu saw that with a few little Gege, there were two delicate-looking girls, one wearing a snow-blue flag suit, the other wearing a light pink, dressed a little plain, and their appearance was somewhat similar, like two sisters, but they didn't know each other.

The two sisters entered the house, but instead of coming forward, they stood near the door, and looked at them with a smile on their faces.

King Chun Fujin beckoned to the two girls and said, "Qiaofu, Qiaorong, where are you still standing and what are you doing?" Why don't you come and meet your eldest cousin! ”

"Cousin?" Chu Yu remembered that her mother-in-law had a sister-in-law who became an official in other provinces with her husband, and remembered that it was mentioned in the family letter last year that the two daughters of this aunt's family entered the Beijing draft. Seeing that the two of them are not gorgeous, and there are not many maids and wives around them, it seems that they are unsuccessful.

Chunwang Fujin smiled and said to Chu Yu: "They are the daughters of your fifth aunt, the taller one is your eldest cousin Qiaofu, and the smaller one is your second cousin Qiaorong." In the early years, when they left Beijing, they also went to our house, and you took them and the young lady to be stubborn at that time. ”

Hearing Chunwang Fujin say this, Chu Yu also remembered that it had been more than ten years.

"Big cousin!" Sister Qiao Fu and Sister Qiao Rong have already bowed down.

Chu Yu was not good at sitting and receiving the salute, so he got up on the kang and met the two cousins.

Qiaofu is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a plump body, and looks very gentle and quiet; Qiao Rong is only thirteen or fourteen, and she loves to laugh. Looking at the earrings on Chu Yu's ears, she tilted her head and said with a smile: "Big cousin, this is so beautiful, my sister has never seen beads of this color!" ”

When she spoke, everyone looked at Chu Yu's ear, but no, the earrings were rose-red beads, the size of a little thumb. It's a round bead, and it's this color, which is really rare.

Seeing this cousin's envious look, Chu Yu touched his ear, a little embarrassed, changed to something else, and said that he would give it away, but these were beads given by the forehead.

They are all beads from their own bead field, like this kind of rare color and good color, Cao Hao asked people to stay, and asked Chu Yu to match his own jewelry. Although the Li family also used beads, but when they were there, they used white round beads, and the colored ones were not left.

Therefore, Chu Yu said: "This was given by your brother-in-law, but it's not good to give it to your second cousin!" As he spoke, he took off a string of coral hand beads from his hand, took Qiao Rong's hand, rested it on her hand, and said with a smile: "If my cousin doesn't dislike it, give this string of beads to my cousin to play with." ”

Qiao Rong couldn't help blushing, looked at Chunwang Fujin, and muttered, "Big cousin, sister doesn't care if you ask for something!" ”

Chu Yu helped her put the beads on her hand, and said with a smile: "Even if my cousin doesn't want it, my cousin should also give it as a gift." As he spoke, he took off a string of agarwood bracelets and gave them to Qiaofu as a meeting gift.

Qiao Fu saw King Chun Fujin nodding, so he stepped forward to take it, and then leaned over to thank him.

Qiao Fu and Qiao Rong, two sisters, stood next to Ergege and Wugege. It stands to reason that several girls are of the same age, so they should fall in love. But for some reason, Ergege and Wugege seemed to have a dislike for these two cousins, and inadvertently took a step back to the side, and the two sisters were farther away.

Qiao Rong bit her lip and looked at the two Gege with resentment; Qiaofu's face was flushed, and she clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly.

Even if he realized it later, Chu Yu also noticed that something was wrong, and looked around at everyone in the room, except for King Chun's face was as pale as before, and he couldn't see anything. On the faces of the others, when they looked at Qiao Fu and Qiao Rong, there were those who pouted their lips and disdain, those who gloated, and those who sympathized.

There are two grids and two five-grids, but they don't look at it, for fear of polluting their eyes. The side Fu Jinnara clan couldn't tell whether he liked or disliked the two sisters, and his expression was very complicated; Borzigit sneered at the corners of his mouth, with an indescribable sense of sadness.
