Chapter 904: "Intoxication"
Since Sifu Jin ordered it, Niu Co Lu will naturally follow suit, and said, "Fu Jin, then add some gold and silverware?" It's both decent and affordable. Although it is said that if you get the title, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also buy some, but there are also a number of things according to the big Gege. ”
Sifujin nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "That's it." It's just that the books in the house are not rich, and even if you use an extra amount of silver, you must save it elsewhere. If you make a note, I will save my clothes for the change of season this autumn, so that the money on my books may be leveled. ”
Speaking of this, she sighed and said, "I knew that Da Gege's knighthood was so low, and in March, the two Gege and the second Gege should be more serious." ”
Niu Colu knew that she was afraid of the Thirteen Fujin, after all, Da Gege was a concubine, not raised by the Thirteen Fujin. Da Gege's biological mother is also the prince's side Fujin, the mother of the eldest son and eldest daughter of the thirteenth elder brother.
"Fu Jin is too worried, give face to the Thirteenth Master, and the Thirteen Fu Jin can only thank Fu Jin for being good." Niu Colu said with a smile: "As for saving clothes, please ask Fujin to give the slave and maid a face, and save the slave's share." Fu Jin knows the slaves and maids, and he has never loved those new clothes. In previous years, there were also those that pressed the bottom of the box, and there were no upper bodies. ”
Sifujin shook his head and said, "I can save it, but you can't save it." You're still young, and it's time to clean up. If you can add another little brother to your master, it will be satisfactory. ”
In a word, Niu Colu's face turned red, and he said: "Look at what Fujin said, the slaves and maids are all thirty years old......"
When Sifujin heard this, he was a little stunned.
Yes, she always felt that Niu Co Lu was still young, watching her slowly grow from a cardamom girl, and now she is even thirty years old.
Since the Nian family entered the mansion, Prince Yong's mansion has not entered the newcomers, their wives and concubines are not young, only the Nian family is in its prime, and has been favored by the fourth elder brother, and has been pregnant one after another over the years.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Niu Colu was a little apprehensive. She is also the daughter of a Manchurian family, just because her father is a side branch and has a limited future, she was pointed out to enter the fourth elder brother's mansion, which is the lowest "Gege" status.
She is very self-aware, and even if she hopes to be favored by her husband, she never dares to have other thoughts.
For Sifujin, she was more careful than what she served when she was serving the fourth elder brother. Even if it is someone else's new daughter-in-law, waiting for the mother-in-law is nothing more than that.
The room was silent, and the wife and concubine had their own thoughts, so they saw the maid come to report, and the fourth elder brother sent someone back, saying that he had an errand to be busy, and asked Sifujin not to wait for his dinner, but to use it for himself.
When Sifu Jin heard this, he showed a little worry, and said to Niu Colu's family: "Master, these children have a bad stomach, and the imperial doctor has already ordered that you must not be hungry." ”
Niu Colu also knew about this and echoed a few words.
In the end, Sifujin still ordered the kitchen, packed the food box, and sent it to the official office...... not to mention the gossip between his wives and concubines in Prince Yong's garden, Cao Hao at this moment couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and even used a lot more for dinner.
Because, on the other side of this table, sits Chu Yu.
Chu Yu arrived at noon, and Wu Sheng wanted to make someone immediately go to the official office to inform Cao Hao, but Chu Yu stopped him.
As a result, Cao Hao came back and was really pleasantly surprised.
When Chu Yu arrived, he first asked Le Xia and Le Qing about their diet and daily life.
Hearing that her husband has been staying up late lately and has used less food, Chu Yu is a little worried. After asking again and again, she knew that her husband had no other discomfort, and she was a little relieved.
Knowing that her husband was the most picky eater, I was afraid that the menu would not suit her appetite, so Chu Yu cooked it herself and made a few side dishes, as well as fried noodles.
By the time Cao Hao returned, everything was ready.
The red vegetarian fried sauce, the green cucumber shreds, the pink heart-like radish shreds, and the yellow bean sprouts are all in one place, which makes people's appetite move.
For a moment, Cao Hao noticed that his stomach was moving.
"I thought you only arrived in early June, why didn't you ask someone to go to the yamen to tell me that I would come back earlier?" The food is in front, although Cao Hao has a great appetite, but the couple still has family things to say.
"My wife is not worried that I am out alone, so I am urged to come over early." Chu Yu picked out the noodles while replying, put away the fried sauce and dishes, and sent them to Cao Hao.
Le Chun had already thrown a towel, Cao Hao took it and wiped his hands and began to eat noodles.
After staying up for several nights in a row, people lost their appetite, and this over-the-water noodles, coupled with fresh vegetables and vegetarian sauce, fit Cao Hao's appetite.
After eating three bowls in a row, he felt that his stomach was panicking, so Cao Hao put down his chopsticks.
Le Chun and Le Xia led the people to remove the table, and Cao Hao asked a few more questions about the capital.
Wen Taijun was buried on May 12, and on the side of Cao's Mansion, Li accompanied Gao Taijun in person, and Cao Fu took Tianyou and Hengsheng to follow. On 14 May, Li Xu left Beijing and returned to the south.
Hearing his wife mention that Bafujin had sent people to Cao's Mansion to give gifts, and also asked Chu Yu to go over to speak, Cao Hao couldn't help frowning.
He didn't expect that even if the Eighth Elder Brother died, the Li family would still have a relationship with the Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion.
This He Zhuo is the teacher of the eighth elder brother and the hardcore eighth master. The reputation of the eighth elder brother as the "virtuous king" was promoted by He Zhuo, a Confucian scholar, in Shilin.
"Didn't you say that Qi Han is not married, how can the He family marry the Li family?" Speaking of marriage, Cao Hao didn't know much and was a little confused.
Although there are many Han concubines in the major palaces in the capital, the identities of wives and concubines are different. The wife is married, and the concubine is the buyer.
Chu Yu is a woman after all, and she knows more about this marriage, and replied: "What's so difficult about this? The two families first agreed on a family affair, and then found an adoptive parent for the girl of the He family to naturalize, and it was not difficult to reconcile the charter. ”
Although He Zhuo was implicated by the eighth elder brother and dismissed, he was still repairing books in Wuying Palace, and his reputation was still there.
Li Xu did not marry a high-ranking official eunuch, but named the daughter of the He family to his grandson Li Cheng, also because of He Zhuo's status in Confucianism. In this way, it is related to the "Eight Masters Party".
Not to mention the future of promoting his grandson, I am afraid that even the road to the revival of the Li family will be blocked.
Although the world is hot and cold, if Li Cheng really has a wife to follow, then he can have some hope after raiding his family. After all, he is still young, and no sin of his father or ancestors can be attributed to him.
"It's really unlucky!" Cao Hao didn't even have the mood to gloat, and muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Chu Yu didn't hear clearly, and asked a question.
Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "No." This year, there are many princes who are with Hu, and there are many Fujin who follow. Now that you have come, you must go and say hello one by one. Lacking? Asked someone to bring bath water, should you rest early? At the end of the day, his eyes lit up a little.
After all, he is an adult man, and he has not had a bed for nearly a month, and when he saw his wife, he was a bit of a "little better than a newlywed".
Chu Yu was seen by her husband's face to be hot, but the sky was still bright outside, no matter how thick her skin was, she didn't dare to pull her husband into the room now.
Thinking that her husband had just eaten three bowls of noodles, and the amount of food was twice as much as usual, she said with a smile: "I took a break in the afternoon, and there was no shortage of it." If you're not busy, take a stroll around the garden with me. I haven't been here for a few years, and I don't know how the grass and trees planted back then are waiting. ”
Cao Hao touched his stomach, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll also eliminate food." ”
At this time, it was already dusk, and the west mountain was falling, and the cool breeze was blowing, and I didn't feel the heat at all.
The husband and wife came to the garden side by side.
When he saw the two pomegranate trees planted that year, which were already more than one person tall and full of red and bright flowers, Chu Yu couldn't help but stop and said with a smile: "Other families plant pomegranates in front of the court, only the forehead is planted in the garden." ”
Speaking of this, Cao Hao was a little proud, and said: "Other people's gardens, get some exotic flowers and plants, throw a lot of money, and you need to be careful in waiting." In our garden, in addition to fruits, trees, vegetables and vegetables, there are also grains and grains, not to mention the freshness, but also affordable. ”
Chu Yu listened, just laughed.
used to be at home, with a lot of children, but now they are husband and wife, and they are inevitably a little lonely.
Not only Chu Yu, who is a mother, but even Cao Hao, who is a father, all miss the child a little: "God bless them to study, why didn't Tianhui bring it?" I haven't seen our girl for a month, and I'm really panicking. If she comes, I'll take her on horseback to catch a jumping rabbit. ”
Chu Yu couldn't say that her mother-in-law wanted her to serve Cao Hao wholeheartedly and not let her bother taking care of her daughter.
"It must be my sister who is reluctant to come out again." Seeing that his wife didn't speak, Cao Hao thought of Cao Jia's and said with a smile: "Sister too, she loves Tianhui more than us as fathers and mothers, and she wants Tianhui to be her daughter-in-law." In the future, when it comes time to choose a son-in-law, I'm afraid she will be more picky than us. ”
These words, Cao Jia's family has already shown in front of Chu Yu.
Chu Yu was also optimistic about the few little brothers in the Pingjun Palace, Fu Peng didn't say it, the age was the same as Tianhui, and he was the heir of the palace, so the matter of taking a wife, the Nersu couple may not be able to call the shots; Fu Duan is younger than Tianhui and does not match.
Fuxiu and Fujing are two, one is four years older than Tianhui, and the other is the same age as Tianhui.
But Cao Hao made it clear in front of his wife that it was not good to be too close to each other, and Chu Yu could only sigh.
The husband and wife talked and walked to the lotus pond.
Here is a living water outside the garden, a small pond is opened, and lotus flowers are planted all over it, which is the time to bloom.
On the edge of the lotus pond, there is a pavilion with two bamboo chairs in it, and Cao Hao fishes here in his spare time.
As the husband and wife were sitting, they heard the croaking of frogs.
Cao Hao stayed up for a few days and nights, a little tired, leaned into the bamboo chair, and made a boneless shape.
Seeing this, Chu Yu couldn't bear it, walked behind him, rubbed his temples, and asked softly, "Is there a lot of errands in the yamen?" Don't work too hard, take care of your body. ”
Cao Hao leaned his head on his wife's chest, only feeling soft and soft, and his heart was a little moved.
Although the eldest son is ten years old, because Chu Yu was young when he gave birth, and Cao Hao, a half-hanger, was by his side, and he was well maintained after giving birth, his figure was not out of shape, and his appearance looked younger than his real age, looking like he was in his twenties.
There was no one left and right, and Cao Hao's hands were a little dishonest.
After more than ten years of husband and wife, Chu Yu knows that her husband is serious in front of him, and he is very imserious in the future.
Chu Yu's face was flushed with trouble, and he couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "E, let's go back to the room." ”
Even if the maid laughs at them and their husband and wife for resting early, it is better than making a joke in this garden. Besides, there are mosquitoes by the water, and Chu Yu has been stared at twice.
Although this lotus pond is more interesting, there are only bamboo chairs here, no bamboo couches, and Cao Hao can only get up with it.
In his heart, he remembered the description of Ximenqing's various room devices in "Golden Vase Plum", and he was a little curious.
Is it also a change, insight and knowledge, and a little more fun for husband and wife.
He took his wife's hand and wondered if he was "keeping warm and thinking about silver", and how to get up to it.
Where did Chu Yu think that her husband had already thought about it, she thought about the birth of Tianhui, she has been conditioning her body all these years, and she began to use the recipe of nourishing yin and warming the palace last autumn, if only she could get pregnant early.
Although the mother-in-law didn't say anything clearly, the Cao family's family members and grandmothers couldn't just bless this bloodline.
She didn't withdraw the hand that was being held by her husband, and quietly touched her stomach with her free hand.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the garden, I saw Le Xia walking towards me with a little girl, and when I saw the two of them, I said: "Master, Mrs., Mr. Wu sent a message to the second door, saying that there is a distinguished guest coming, please come to the front yard living room." ”
Cao Hao was thinking about the fun in the room, and was baffled by such a disturbance: "What distinguished guest?" ”
"The servant doesn't know, Mr. Wu only said that he was a distinguished guest." Lexia replied.
"What's all this work on, and someone is still uninvited?" Cao Hao raised his head, looked at the already dark sky, and said without complaint.
"Go quickly, it's not good to make the guests wait for a long time. At this time, maybe there is something to find the master. Chu Yu withdrew his hand and said with a smile.
Cao Hao nodded and said, "Then you go back to the room first, if you are tired, squint first, and I will go back quickly!" ”
"Hmm!" Chu Yu responded, watched Cao Hao leave, and then took the maid back to the inner house.
Outside the second gate, Wu Sheng was waiting in person, already waiting in a hurry, wondering if he would open his mouth again to urge the mother-in-law who guarded the door.
At this moment, I heard footsteps and the voices of the mothers-in-law asking for peace.
Seeing Cao Hao, Wu Sheng took a step forward, lowered his voice and said, "Master, Prince Yong is here...... Something is not quite right......"
Cao Hao listened, and his heart "chuckled", no wonder Wu Sheng was so careful, the prince went in and out of the courtier's mansion, which was also eye-catching. Not to mention, it is the fourth elder brother who holds real power who usually does not "form a party for personal gain".
"What's wrong? Coming in anger? Cao Hao's mind was flying, after the fourth elder brother left the yamen, he went to hand over the fold to His Majesty, could it be that he was rejected and angry?
"Drunk...... Wu Sheng replied, he was a little incredible: "I really didn't expect that Lord Yong would have such a time......
Cao Hao was a little stunned, and asked, "Look, are you happy, or are you not happy?" ”
"I can't see the joy, but it seems to be borrowing wine to kill my sorrows......" Wu Sheng recalled the drunken appearance of the fourth elder brother and said.
When Cao Hao heard this, his heart sank.
It seems that it must be the matter of the almsgiving.
He walked a few steps quickly, and before he could reach the living room, he saw a little servant hurrying over.
"Gone?" Cao Hao listened to the little girl's report, quickened his pace, and walked out of the gate.
When I arrived at the door, I saw the fourth elder brother's sedan chair drifting away.
Although Cao Hao was a little excited, he ran out of the gate a few steps, but he still stopped.
Men are good-looking, the fourth elder brother came over after he was drunk, and he may not be happy to think of this paragraph after he wakes up, since he hasn't encountered it, he hasn't encountered it......
