Changchun Garden, Shouxuan Palace, Xinuan Pavilion.

The Queen Mother was sitting on the kang and was talking to several concubines about the Ming Dynasty, when she heard a eunuch report at the door: "Queen Mother, long live the Lord is here!" ”

With the sound of the voice, Kangxi had already raised his legs and entered the warm pavilion.

Although this side is called the Warm Pavilion, the bamboo curtains are replaced everywhere you see, and it looks very refreshing and comfortable.

Originally, a few concubines who were sitting on the soft stool on the ground got up, and the Queen Mother said with a smile: "The emperor is here, and he is talking about Ming'er going out!" ”

Kangxi said: "Erchen please the emperor's mother!" ”

"Ann, Ann!" The Queen Mother was in a good mood, patted the edge of the kang, and said, "Come forward and sit and talk, you are busy with state affairs all day, and you are tired enough!" ”

When all the concubines saw their mother and son finish the ceremony, they all bowed down like onions and said ten thousand blessings. Kangxi waved his hand and motioned for everyone to flatten.

Kangxi's biological mother died early, and his relationship with his mother-in-law has always been deep. He went up to the kang to do it, looked at the queen mother's expression carefully, and said: "Erchen is really relieved to see that the emperor's mother is fine." The dumplings sent by the ministers yesterday are available to the emperor? ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, it's just right to eat, it's not too sweet, it's okay to restrain it, but this snack was not available in our palace earlier." ”

Kangxi said: "It's a recipe that Xiao Sixteen got from outside, and he made a special trip to honor the emperor's mother, and the son asked the imperial dining room to do it." If the emperor loves this, she will let someone give a copy of the recipe to the tea room. ”

"Little Sixteen!" The Queen Mother glanced at the concubine standing behind Concubine De and Concubine Yi, and said, "I haven't seen this little monkey for several days, and I don't see him playing treasure, and the mourning family is really a little lonely." ”

Kangxi said: "Xiao Sixteen followed Xiao Seventeen and two of them, and was sent by his son to the Internal Affairs Office. As they get older, they have to learn to do something. ”

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile and said, "I can't complain that I haven't seen him for a few days, but before, he was thinking about coming to mourn the fat boy and fat girl who came to mourn his family's palace." It can be seen that he is a father, like a baby. ”

When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help but feel something, and sighed: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, don't raise children and don't know the kindness of parents." I hope that when they are now older, they will also know that their relatives are not rewarded. ”

When the Queen Mother saw Kangxi like this, she knew that he was afraid that she remembered the eldest brother and the second elder brother. In the past few years, because of the competition for the storage position, those elder brothers have really made him, a tired man, sad.

The Queen Mother pointed to Concubine Yi who was standing, and said to Kangxi: "It is said that everyone who is a parent in this world has a righteous line, you look at the wild goose girl, the grandson has it, and all I am thinking about is dim sum and food, and I just talked about the delicious food on the side of the hot river for a long time." ”

Concubine Yi's maiden name is "Yanlai", because she was only thirteen when she entered the palace, so the Queen Mother took good care of her. She gave birth to three princes, the fifth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother, the eleventh elder brother died young, and the fifth elder brother was raised in the palace of the queen mother.

In this way, among the concubines in the harem, there are many times that Concubine Yi has asked for peace in the Queen Mother's Palace. In addition, her surname is lively and her words are crisp, and the Queen Mother has always been close to her. Therefore, although Concubine Yi is now fifty, the Queen Mother still calls her like this.

Concubine Yi saw that the Queen Mother named her, and she also knew that she was deliberately changing her words, saving Kangxi from thinking that her sons were uncomfortable, so she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Lafayette said this, which really made the concubines embarrassed." Not to mention that the concubine has a grandson, even if she has a great-grandson and a great-grandson, in front of Lafayette, she is also a little girl, and she only has the share of coquettishness. ”

Even if she is the queen mother, she is just an ordinary old man. She is seventy-four years old, and her body is quite tough, but she is somewhat taboo about life and death. Now listening to Concubine Yi say "great-grandson, great-grandson", the queen mother's face is also full of smiles.

The emperors and grandchildren are getting bigger, and when they wait for next year's draft, they will choose a group of granddaughters-in-law. Because of the marriage, the queen mother remembered that she had brought her granddaughter to ask for peace here, so she said to Kangxi: "The mourning family looks at the little girl of Dong E's family is good, her surname is deferential, and her appearance is neat. Although the old lady of her family did not speak, the mourning family looked at it for the sake of her granddaughter's lifelong sorrow. In the end, there are no parents, only the heart of a grandmother. ”

In fact, in the heart of the Queen Mother, she has no good impression of Dong E's family, but Jue Luo's family is related to her, and she likes the lady's squareness, so she treats her granddaughter differently.

It's just that he lost his parents since he was a child, and the child was somewhat hard-lived, so the queen mother didn't mean to marry her grandchildren, and said casually: "When Jue Luo's family comes next time, the mourning family will accept it, and tell her granddaughter in the clan to guide her family." ”

Kangxi thought of Jue Luo's detained in the Criminal Department, and thought in his heart, it seems that he has to explain when he goes out, and no one should mention the incident of Dong E's family in front of the Queen Mother, so as to save the Queen Mother from worrying.

Because there were still a lot of excerpts to be approved, Kangxi accompanied the Queen Mother to talk for a while, and then returned to Qingxi Bookstore.

The two Shangshu of the Criminal Department had already handed over the sign to invite them to meet, and Kangxi turned over the sign and asked someone to pass them in.

After a while, Lai Du and Zhang Tingshu followed the chamberlain in and knelt down and handed over the fold.

Kangxi sat behind the imperial case and motioned for Wei Zhu to take the fold.

The excerpt is written in detail from the Kali mother's knock to the first dress of Kali and others, and finally the judgment given by the Criminal Department is written: Kali, as a minister, is arbitrarily greedy, and murders his own mother, and is extremely unfaithful and unfilial, and should be executed by Ling Chi: his wife is hanged; Brother Serqi, Zigandu, Licho; Serqi's son, Gan Taifa, worked as a drudger in Heilongjiang, and his family property was merged into the official.

Kangxi's face was cloudy, he just asked the Criminal Department to try the case of Kali's murder of his mother-in-law Jue Luo, and he didn't repeat the old words, and pulled it on the greedy ink.

He took the fold, raised his eyebrows and said, "This final charter was drawn up by the two of you, or does it mean that the ministry is in charge of the elder brother?" ”

Lai Du originally felt that this sentence was a bit heavy, and Ling Chi was executed, where did the face of the Dong E family go. Hearing Kangxi's question, he hurriedly picked himself up and said: "Back to the words of the Lord Long Live Lord, this is the original draft of Zhang Tingshu Zhang, the polishing of Babeile, the final judgment, and the slave ......" He originally wanted to say that he was only listening, but that seemed to be a dereliction of duty, so he changed his words and said: "When the slave heard about such a rebellious thing, he only felt sad and indignant. ”

Zhang Tingshu couldn't help frowning when he saw Lai Du say this. He is Hanchen, Kali is Manqing, and he is the former governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, if the outside world misunderstands that this "Ling Chi execution" is his decision, I don't know what to say behind the scenes.

It's just that Kangxi didn't ask him, and he didn't dare to interject, so he took himself out, so he could only lower his head and think in his heart, what way to think of to bring the eighth elder brother's mastery to the front of the stage.

Although Zhang Tingshu was speechless, Kangxi did not believe that he was convicted of the crime of "Ling Chi Execution".

He sneered in his heart, this is the so-called "strong man breaking his wrist"? It's just a cover-up!

Ping Suli shows a gentle appearance, why is it so hot now? Are you afraid that the Kali dog will jump off the wall in a hurry and bite out of the old things in Jiangnan?

Because Kangxi had prejudice in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the eighth elder brother could be punished. For Kali and the others, he didn't have a lot of anger.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Kali committed suicide, and his wife also died. Serqi and Gandu were all changed to be imprisoned, and they were executed after the autumn, and Yu Yiyi. ”

Since Kangxi Shengkou was personally judged, the two Shangshu only had the share of obeying the order.

When they came out of Qingxi Bookstore, the two old Shangshu sighed a long sigh, it seems that they don't have to carry the "black cauldron" ...... * Xicheng, Caofu.

Yesterday, although Dong E's patriarch Guogong Zeng Shou's mansion sent two mothers-in-law to pick them up, Jinghui did not go with them and still stayed in Cao's mansion.

First, because Chu Yu's body is a little unhappy, and she is quite picky about her diet, Jinghui wants to do her best; The second is that the Jue Luo clan is in the yamen of the criminal department, and Cao Hao takes care of it, and Jing Hui can't believe the clansmen of the Dong E family.

As early as the year before last, after Kali was dismissed, everyone in the clan had a lot of complaints about the Jueluo clan. Even if Jue Luo eats fasting and recites Buddha, he rarely walks around with his relatives, but there are still some unclean words that reach the ears of the old lady.

Jue Luo was ashamed and angry, and he was sick, so Jinghui was also a little unkind to those relatives.

I got up this morning, and after Cao Hao went to the yamen, Jinghui came to Wutong Garden to say goodbye. Seeing that Chu Yu hadn't gotten up yet, he said a few words to Xiyun.

Because she knew that Chu Yu had no appetite and had a hard time eating in the past two days, Jinghui let Xiyan lead her to the kitchen.

By the time Chu Yu got up and finished freshening up, Jing Hui had already packed up a few side dishes and brought them over.

Although she was grateful for her kindness, but thinking that she still had injuries on her hands, Chu Yu couldn't help frowning, pulled her to sit by the kang, looked at the broken skin on her palm, was very distressed, and said, "Why bother doing this?" Where can this be wet, if there is a scar on the palm of my hand, it is not my sin! Saying that, he called Xiyun to marry Yaojiu and Yunnan Baiyao, and wanted to give Jinghui medicine.

Jinghui waved her hand and said, "Cousin-in-law, my sister is fine, I don't need to take medicine, I don't have to wash the taste of vegetables, cousin-in-law should use something first!" In the end, it's a double body, and you can't eat less food! ”

One less time, the food was set on the kang table, and Chu Yu saw that they were all the dishes she liked when she was pregnant with Tianyou, and she couldn't help but have a great appetite.

"If that's the case, then I'll accept my sister's love!" Chu Yu smiled and picked up the chopsticks, and when he saw that there was only one pair, he said to Xiyun: "Take the pair of ivory chopsticks that Ping said spare!" ”

Xiyun took it, and Chu Yu personally handed it to Jinghui and said, "It's tasteless to eat alone, my sister will accompany me to use two bites!" These two days have seen you cleared, and the future will be long, no matter what, you have to be strong, so as not to let the old lady worry. ”

Jing Hui heard Chu Yu mention her grandmother, her eyes couldn't help but redden, she took the chopsticks, and nodded.

Xiyun approached and served dinner to the two. Chu Yu took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth, only feeling refreshing, but there was no oily smell every day, which was very appetizing.

Jing Hui saw that Chu Yu was eating well, and there was a little more smile on her face.

For the great kindness of the Cao family, she always remembered it, but she really didn't know how to reciprocate. After all, she is just an orphan with no father and mother, and no father and brother can stand out for herself.

Jing Hui is very happy to be able to do her part when Chu Yu needs it. Thinking of her grandmother in the yamen, her smile seemed a little bitter.

Although he won't be hungry, when he encounters such a thing, where does the old man have the heart to eat? In the end, it will be eighty people, in case there is something wrong...... When Jing Hui thought of this, she couldn't help but shudder, and the unspeakable sadness in her heart. In this world, the only person she can rely on is her grandmother, and if she is the only one left, it will really be a collapse of the sky, and I dare not imagine it.

Chu Yu saw Jinghui bow her head, didn't move her chopsticks, and said, "Eat too, my sister's cooking skills are really speechless, I have to help my sister-in-law record a copy of these recipes." When I'm well, I'll make it for your cousin, and he'll like it. ”

When Jing Hui saw her cousin mentioning her cousin, she looked like a child, and she was really a person who admired others. She smiled and ate half a small bowl of rice with her.

Chu Yu was eating, and turned his head to look at the table clock on the ground, it was almost noon. Why is Cao Song so quiet, he didn't show up all morning, he came back yesterday, and now he is not in a hurry?

Thinking about Cao Song's arm again, although he asked the imperial doctor to see it yesterday, it was not in the way, but it was scary enough to look at the blurred appearance of flesh and blood. Therefore, she said to Xiyun: "Rummage through the cabinet in the east house carefully, remember that there was an intermittent cream at home, find it out and send it to the second master." Save him from hurting his arm, if he delays the move, it will be a big deal! ”

Xiyun asked, "Gege, is it the box on the top of the kang cabinet?" The slave and maid remembered in a trance that it was left there, and earlier in the drawer under the cabinet, she was afraid that the five girls and the fourth girl would be naughty, so she found it and put it on it, and the slave and maid went to see it. ”

Jinghui heard the word "second master", but she was shocked, which other second master of the Cao family could have, he was injured......*
