Cao's family, the east mansion, the west across the courtyard.

Tian Xiang stood there, not daring to move. Seeing Ruhui's gaze fall on her lower abdomen, she couldn't help but feel excited, her face gradually lost blood, and she was a little unsteady.

The body of more than three months is not obvious, and the outside is covered with a loose gown, so I can't see anything.

Among Cao Shuo's girls, Tian Xiang is the oldest and has been waiting for Cao Shuo for the longest time. Her appearance is just mediocre, she doesn't like to talk much, her eyebrows are low, and she looks like an honest person.

Thinking of the child who had lost herself, Ruhui gritted her teeth vigorously, as if she had a needle in her heart.

This strife begins with the child and ends with the child. She didn't want to be wronged to be a cheap girl, but she lost her child by mistake.

Mama Tao followed Ruhui's side, looking at the unpredictable changes on her face, a little uneasy, and called in a low voice: "Girl? ”

"Hmm!" Ruhui responded, seeing Tian Xiang's fear, a little wry smile appeared on her face, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she felt unhappy.

She turned to go out, feeling ridiculously tight.

Three months ago, she boarded the sedan chair with a belly full of dissatisfaction; Three months later, which one will she complain about?

Standing in the courtyard, Ruhui looked up at the pomegranate tree in front of the hall.

The verdant leaves are dotted with delicate buds, and on the sunny branches, there are already a few pomegranate flowers, red and gorgeous.

Except for the 20 days when she returned to her parents' house for the opposite month, she lived in this courtyard for more than two months, half of which was bedridden to recuperate. Zhao Jia's only thought that she had committed an old illness, and she came to see it twice in person, not to mention it, and she was also a warm person.

Seeing Zhao Jia's speech a little upside down, forgetting his surname, Ruhui became more and more remorseful.

Ruhui's maids had already packed up her belongings and came out of the upper room.

Ruhui's eyes moved from the pomegranate tree, looked at the carved window lattices in the upper room, and took Mama Tao and the two girls to Zhaojia's house. There are a total of four girls who came to marry, two stayed here to watch the house, and two served her to return to the province.

Zhao Jiashi was already waiting in the house, and when he saw Ruhui coming in, he hurriedly beckoned him to sit down by the kang. Jinghui stood on the side, saw Ruhui, nodded, and Ruhui nodded in return.

Ruhui was wearing a bright red flag costume and two pomegranate flowers with gold inlaid coral on her head, which looked very festive. She entered the door in March, and she was still a bride, so she was dressed just right.

It's just that the new flag dress looks a little loose, and the red color of the whole body reflects the paleness of her face.

Zhao Jiashi took her hand, rubbed it on her wrist, saw that it was skinny, raised her head, and complained to Jinghui on the side: "Didn't you tell you to go through it several times, you have to be attentive, look at your brother and sister to be thin, you are a sister-in-law, you are so ruthless." ”

Jinghui listened, but did not speak.

Ruhui was a little embarrassed, and said to Zhao Jia's family: "Don't do my cousin's business, my cousin's heavenly angel kitchen sends bird's nest, but I don't grow meat myself." ”

"Cousin?" Zhao Jiashi was stunned, then shook his head and said with a smile: "This child, he has been in the door for three months, and he can't change his mouth, he has become a daughter-in-law, what is there to be ashamed of." ”

Ruhui didn't answer, but stood up, plugged onions, and made a squatting salute in a proper manner.

Zhao Jia's original was still smiling, seeing Ruhui so solemn, he "coughed", and also restrained his smile, took out his mother-in-law's score, and said: "Get up, go back this time, so that you can compensate your mother and talk." Just said what I said, I haven't looked at her for a long time, so I asked her to have the kung fu to visit the door. Go early and come back early, just now your sister-in-law said that the kitchen bought a few new mountain vegetables and came back, and she will eat shepherd's cabbage dumplings in the evening. When the time comes, let the kitchen wrap an extra curtain for you to eat for supper. ”

The wound on her face has long been healed, even at the bridge of her nose, and if you look at the front, it is not obvious. Just looking at it from the side, you can see the ups and downs.

Ruhui listened to her tone in front, but she was sincere in the back, and her eyes couldn't help but be sour.

There are two aunts and nephews, close relatives of flesh and blood, and their faces are almost the same. For this reason, Zhao Jia's family also proudly said that the two were like two mothers.

Ruhui couldn't help but laugh in her heart, what are you doing? Rehabilitation?

I once thought that the Cao family owed me, but now that I was leaving, I found that I was also in debt.

The first two sent people to send the letter to Shilang's Mansion, and Shilang's Mansion had already sent a car to pick it up, and the two grandmothers who came with them were waiting at Zhaojia's side.

After saluting Zhaojia's family, Ruhui didn't stay long and took the maid and mother-in-law. Jinghui took a few housekeepers and daughters-in-law and sent Ruhui outside the second gate.

There were two carriages parked here, and the one ahead was more ornate. The accompanying grandmother has already taken the small stool in the car, please Ruhui get into the car.

Ruhui turned around and saluted at Jinghui.

Jing Hui hurriedly stretched out her hand to support it, and said with a little sentimentality: "This ......"

Ruhui had already noticed what she was interested in, and she hesitated to tell her husband.

However, after more than a month of getting along, seeing that Cao Shuo and Ruhui were relatively speechless, Jinghui still decided to pretend not to know.

In the past, Ruhui was certainly wrong, but she also lost a child.

Her body is not good, and this miscarriage is a big loss, if she can't go to heart disease, she will be depressed in this house, and she will be haggard.

After thinking about it again, Jinghui still decided to pretend not to know and did not mention it to anyone.

Seeing her worship her mother-in-law and herself today, she was already resolute, Jinghui's heart was also a little sour, and her eyes were already red.

Ruhui didn't stop, she still got up after worshipping.

Then, she reached out from her head, took off the two pomegranate hairpins, put them in Jinghui's hand, and said with a smile: "This is my favorite hairpin, and it is also appropriate to wear it now, so don't dislike it." ”

How could Jing Hui be willing to take away the person she loved, just about to be humble, Ruhui had already grabbed her sleeve and said in a low voice: "I was wrong earlier, these words, thank you for taking care of them, this kindness, I will remember." I don't want to make Amma, Eniang and my aunt have a dislike because of me, and I bother to keep it a secret. "At the end of the day, it's inaudible.

A smile had already been put on her face, and all that was left was pleading eyes.

Jinghui nodded, and also took off two hairpins from her head and helped Ruhui insert them carefully. The hairpin pattern is a silk gold bat holding a gourd, which means "blessing".

The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law on the side, looking at this little girl's appearance, wondered in their hearts.

It's just to return to the province, go early, and come back at night, why are you so inseparable?

The two grandmothers from the Shilang Mansion glanced at each other, and also pondered, the girl looked at the reduction, but this spirit is good. It seems that the wife has arranged the right one, and she will be the daughter-in-law of the Cao family to enjoy happiness.

Ruhui was accompanied by Mama Tao into the carriage in front, and the others sat in the back, and as soon as they left the house, they heard someone say: "This is about to go?" ”

But it was Cao Shuo's voice, Ruhui's eyes had rolled down, it was her husband in the end, her first man. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

Through the curtain, Ruhui asked with a smile, "Didn't you go to the academy?" ”

Cao Shuo replied through the curtain: "I asked Mr. Tong to ask for leave and sent you over." ”

Ruhui stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her face and said, "What is there to give?" What is a good toss? ”

Outside the carriage, Cao Shuo said after a while: "Let's go?" ”

Ruhui bit her lip and said "um", with a smile on her face, but it became more and more sad to look at.

Seeing her like this, Mama Tao was distressed, took her hand, wiped her tears with a handkerchief......*** Outside the door, the big court meeting.

Under the Qianqing Gate, Kangxi sat on the throne, extremely majestic. The princes and ministers, civil and military officials, all stood in line according to their ranks.

I saw an attendant step forward and raise his voice: "Long live the oracle, the cabinet bachelor, where are the six books?" ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen officials came out of the queue and walked to the middle corridor. The scholars were in front, and the six scholars were behind, and they all knelt down in unison, saying: "The minister (minion) is here!" ”

The chamberlain had already retreated once, and he heard Kangxi speak: "Recently, it is said that the eclipse of the moon and the moon, and there is a flash flood warning, if it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, or there is something that should be done, you will discuss it in detail with Jiuqing." ”

The news of the Yangtze River flood has been in Beijing for several days, and everyone has thought about this festival.

Kangxi pays the most attention to reputation, how can he be willing to write his own edict for this, naturally he has to put the responsibility on the minister.

No one dares to accept it, and if it does, it will be a person who is known all over the world as "bringing disaster to the country and the people", and his future will be ruined.

Besides, everyone is also paying attention, all the regulations of the court are set by the emperor.

Even if you want to fulfill the loyalty of your subordinates and share the worries of the lord, no one dares to say that these regulations are wrong, isn't this a direct slap in the face of the emperor, and you don't want to live.

Thinking of this, everyone naturally stiffened their hair and bowed their heads and said: "Back to Long Live Lord, there is nothing to change about the current political affairs." ”

When Kangxi heard this, his expression was slightly soothed, and he didn't ask these people to retreat, and said: "The world has been peaceful for a long time, and since ancient times, peace has been saying that there will be trouble for a long time." Now the ministers of the ministries and courts, and the governors of the provinces are gradually delaying the ......"

At the beginning, Kangxi was a little talking, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, the louder he became, and he had already stood up from the throne: "You should all be cautious and cautious as the beginning, and work together for a long period of peace and long-term governance." As for all the praise of the text, it is useless. I have seen that there have been many words of praise lately, and I should stop. Everything should be pragmatic, why advocate hypocrisy......"

The emperor sits, and everyone can stand with their bows; Now that the emperor has risen, all the princes and officials have become shorter.

Kangxi didn't look at everyone else, his voice became colder and colder, from the exchange of books between courtiers and teachers and students, to the current fashionable book annotations, they all crackled and reprimanded.

Cao Yan knelt among the officials, but he was a little funny in his heart.

In the end, it has been done for more than fifty years, and this hand is a good place to divert attention. first showed that he attached importance to the "warning of God", and then erased his suspicions through the mouths of scholars and scholars, and finally rebuked several officialdom in succession.

This style of eulogy, prestige, and book annotation are all chronic diseases of officialdom, how can they be solved in one sentence or two?

Kangxi's reprimand, I am afraid that more than half of the courtiers have no bottom in their hearts, wondering if they have been rejected by the emperor, and who else will pay attention to the changes in the moon and stars.

In this way, the big things will be turned into small ones, and then according to the precedent of the early years, find a few officials at random to attack, and the matter will be dealt with.

Since he was implicated in the ranch and wanted to be attacked, this time he couldn't keep it...... Kangxi was still talking, but the courtiers below couldn't stand it, only to hear the sound of "plop", someone had already fainted and fell to the ground.

Everyone got up in the middle of the night and waited outside the Taihe Gate, and when the time came, they stood and knelt outside the Qianqing Gate for a long time. The younger ones are not in the way, but the older ones are all full of gold stars, and they endure it, and they can't help it.

It was the cabinet scholar Da Lihu who fell to the ground, lying there, not moving, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Kangxi was speaking happily, but he was disturbed, and his face was already difficult to look at.

He returned to the throne, looked down at the kneeling courtiers, and whispered to the attendants beside him, "Go to the Imperial Doctor." ”

The waiter answered, Kangxi looked at his courtiers again, and happened to see the third elder brother wiping sweat with his sleeve. There was a little mockery in his eyes, and he was afraid that this son who loved to cultivate books was beginning to have trouble sleeping.

Cao Yan heard the movement of someone falling, and glanced at his father uneasily, and was relieved to see that it was not him.

At this time, I heard the inner servant shouting "Scatter the Dynasty", and Cao Yan knelt down with everyone.

The bachelor who fell to the ground had already called the waiter to leave, and the other elderly adults got up slowly, looking very pitiful.

Compared with those seventy and eighty old ministers and clansmen, Cao Yin is still relatively young.

Cao Yan saw that his father looked fine, so he didn't go over there, turned around and wanted to go back to the yamen, but heard someone laugh and said: "Cao Yan, in the future, I will be on an errand with the yamen, so I will say that I will drink a cup with my grandfather......"

Cao Yan turned his head, his face was as usual, but he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart......
