On November 13, Kangxi set off from Changchun Garden, temporarily enshrined in the Fengdian and Xiaoling, and the fifth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother followed him.

Cao Hao, as a servant of the temple, brought Tang Zhiyu and several other subordinate officials, and also followed Luan to serve.

Unlike the summer vacation in May, this business trip was really a crime. The cold wind is getting colder, riding on a horse, the speed is too slow, and you can't lose your official manners.

Although Cao Hao has not been with him in winter, the sixteenth elder brother often follows him, and told Cao Hao in advance to bring enough small sweaters. Put it in an official uniform to block the wind and withstand the cold, which is the most desirable. There are also soft leather knee pads, suede boots, hand tubes, ear bags, all that can be prepared.

Cao Hao also told several subordinate officials of the Taifu Temple who accompanied him, and everyone was prepared. Only Tang Zhiyu, because he caught up with Xiu Mu before the business trip, did not catch up with Cao Hao's orders, and did not prepare those ones.

Although he was also wearing cotton clothes, and looked thick and cold-resistant, after walking on horseback for a long time, his face was blue and white from the cold, and his body was stiff.

According to the itinerary, it will take five or six days to arrive at Xiaoling, Cao Hao was afraid that Tang Zhiyu would not be able to stand it, so he sent him a set of leather vests, knee pads, and gloves that he had in his hand.

In order to avoid disturbing the people, the holy car did not go through the town, and Tang Zhiyu couldn't find a place to buy some fur clothes even if he wanted to. Therefore, although he was a little embarrassed about Cao Hao's gift, he still thanked him.

On a business trip in the cold winter season, a lazy person like Cao Hao was reluctant, but yesterday Li Nai visited and brought a message, which made him happily come on a business trip.

Li Xu is about to enter Beijing, and he has already made a decree to come to Beijing to see His Majesty. I heard that he had already set off for Jiangning and arrived in Beijing in late November.

Cao Hao can handle it easily in front of Li Nai, but if he is Li Xu, he is not sure. Li Xu is the head detective, and if he shows his feet, he will lead the suspicion to himself.

It's just that he can't participate in the "washing three" ceremony of Yongqing's eldest son, Cao Hao sighed in his heart.

* Fucheng Gate small bow smith alley, Yongqing mansion, inner courtyard main hall.

Today, those who came to participate in the children's "washing three" include Yongqing's mother, the county lord of Fuhui, Yongsheng's wife, Yongqing's sister Prince Jian, Fujin, Chu Yu, and Qi Jia's aunt Fu Erdan's wife Shu Mulu; The male guest is Yongsheng, a maiden brother of the Qi family Qi Jia who served in Beijing, and two martial artists of the same year from Yongqing's martial arts.

While washing the baby's body, the midwife's grandmother nagged: "Wash your hair first, be a prince; After washing the waist, one generation is taller than the other; Wash the eggs, as the county; Wash the ditch and do Zhizhou. ”

After washing, she picked up the green onions she had prepared earlier and gently slapped the baby three times, saying as she played: "One dozen smart, two dozen smart, three dozen clear!" After speaking, he asked someone to give this green onion to Yongqing.

Yongqing held this green onion in his hand, as if he was holding a gold bar, and went out happily. When he got to the courtyard, he stood down in the middle of the courtyard and threw the green onion vigorously against the roof of the main house.

The grandmother of the birth will worship the thirteen gods such as Bixia Yuanjun, Yunxiao Niangniang, Sending the Child Niangniang, and Douyang Niangniang, and send them to the courtyard for incineration, and there will be some singing.

When everything was burned clean, she said hello to Yongqing with a smile on her face, gathered up the plates and other things, and returned with a full load.

"After washing the third day", Yongqing invited a few male guests to the front yard to eat and drink, and Chu Yu followed the lord of Fuhui and others to sit in the inner hall and talk.

In terms of seniority, Chu Yu also has to be called the aunt of the main cousin of Fuhui County, so she calls her "aunt" when she speaks.

The lord of Fuhui County saw that Chu Yu was white and tender, although he had been married for several years, but he looked as charming as the daughter of the boudoir, and he wanted to live a very comfortable life.

"I heard that your kid is in the south with your father-in-law and mother-in-law, which is far away, and you don't want to be a mother?" Fuhui chattered.

Chu Yu smiled and replied: "The left and right are just filial piety for us, if you want to say that you don't want to be fake, just thinking that there are his grandfathers and grandmothers who are hurting, it must be more appropriate than our younger ones, and there will be less worries in my heart!" ”

Fuhui shook his head, noncommittal, the child is the mother's heart, it seems that Chu Yu is just holding on, where can I not want to?

Speaking of the child, thinking of the little grandson that Yongjia lost more than a month ago, Fuhui only felt like a colic, and looked at her daughter with pity.

Wanyan Yongjia sat on the chair with a shallow smile on her face and slightly gorgeous makeup. Her face was evenly powdered, her willow eyebrows were curved, and her forehead was smeared with rouge.

Although she couldn't see anything unusual on her face, Chu Yu unintentionally swept her hand, and it was terrifying.

Wanyan Yongjia was smiling and listening to her mother and Chu Yu's greetings, but when she saw Chu Yu looking over, she nodded slightly.

Chu Yu saw her look without sorrow or joy, and her heart was quite weird. I couldn't say it, I felt a little guilty, and I felt like I had thought about it.

Because Qi Jia's family was not out of confinement and could not see guests, Chu Yu talked to Fuhui for a while, and then left first.

After sending Chu Yu away, Fuhui looked at her daughter, who had a reduced face, and was very distressed. On the side of the palace, there is a sister-in-law left by the previous Da Fu Jin, and there is a side Fu Jin who is quite favored by the prince, and her daughter is really miserable.

Wanyan Yongjia looked at her mother's worries, smiled slightly, and said, "Eniang, my daughter is fine!" ”

I don't have a son by my side, and I am not favored by my husband, but I am just a house decoration, where is it okay? The eyes of the lord of Fuhui County were already red, and he wanted to comfort him.

Because she was afraid of falling on her daughter's face in front of her little daughter-in-law, she just sighed and didn't say anything after all.

* Chu Yu sat in the car, thinking about what she had heard and seen, and there were few women who were as comfortable as herself. Wouldn't it be her blessing to be able to marry Eyu? It's good to cherish your blessings, she told herself in her heart.

The carriage did not go straight back to Caofu, but passed through the front gate and went to the Chunjun Palace.

These words, there is a rumor that the old lady is going to marry in the harem during the filial piety period. Chunwang Fujin and Fangfu Jin Nala both sent letters to Chu Yu, asking her to go back to the palace to have a look.

The two grids on the side of Chunwangfu are fifteen this year, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has been carried out before the ceremony, and it has reached the age of the people.

Hearing that Chu Yu was back, King Chun Fujin personally brought the maid and the maid to the second gate to greet him. It happened that Fang Fujin also brought the maid over, and the two met squarely, and there was some confusion on their faces.

Chu Yu saw that her grandmother and biological mother were there, so she hurriedly leaned over to salute.

Chunwang Fujin smiled and took her hand and said, "Family, what's the matter, it's getting cold this day, hurry up and talk to Eniang in the house!" ”

Chu Yu responded with a smile, nodded at Na La, and followed his mother's steps. Fang Fujin fell behind, looked at his daughter's hand, his expression was a little stiff, he sighed in his heart, and still followed Fujin to the main courtyard.

Although it was already winter and it was cold outside, King Chun's house was as warm as spring because of the earth dragon.

Entering the house, Chu Yu went to the cloak outside. Chunwang Fujin touched her hand coldly, pulled her kang and sat down, and handed Chu Yu a copper hand stove with gold and blessing characters that he often used.

The side Fu Jin Na La's clan stood beside him, listening to the gossip between King Chun Fu Jin and his daughter.

Chu Yu thought about her sister and asked, "Eniang, Lafayette is getting married at this time, and the second sister is ...... Is the second sister going to Horqin? ”

"It's not good to say now, listening to the news from the palace, saying that it is the family affairs of Ergege before the end of the month, and there will be a letter to it! Whether it's Horqin, Karaqin, or Bahrain, it's just Outer Mongolia, it's strange, and there's no hope of returning to Ning. Chunwang Fujin said.

These two Gege were born by the side Fu Jinnara clan, and she listened to it next to her, and her face was full of reluctance. But I also knew in my heart that there was no way to give up my mind, and it was customary for the clan girl to care for Mongolia. Ten Gegri can stay in the capital, which is already amazing. In their house, Chu Yu's stay in the capital is already a great grace, how can there be a second time?

After a while, I saw that King Chun's envoy Fujin summoned to invite the maids of Ergege and Wugege to come back, and the two Geges also followed.

Ergege was wearing a royal blue squirrel skin robe, and he still looked steady. After greeting the two Fujin and Chu Yu after seeing each other, she asked with a smile: "Eldest sister, I heard that my nephew has three spins on the top of his head, and my sister hasn't seen anyone with three spins, why didn't my sister bring it back?" ”

Chu Yu smiled and said, "He's still young, and he doesn't dare to toss when it's cold." How can I say that my sister is free, and when I pass through the house, I see it! ”

Ergege smiled and sat down in his chair.

Wugege's expression was a little faint. After more than half a year of conditioning, the scars on her face are much lighter, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see it anymore. It's just that the surname has changed a lot, and it's not as good as before.

Chunwang Fujin smiled and said to Chu Yu: "Three spins are good, in the future, it is material to fight on horseback!" If you can have this kindness, you will be rewarded. There's a child in front of my eyes, and this child is coming soon! It's just that Baby Tianyou, although he is not in front of your eyes, he can't be negligent. Children have the most spiritual surname, whether their parents hurt or not, he knows it in his heart! ”

Wugege sat at the bottom of the second grid, and when he saw his mother talking to his sister affectionately, he was a little unhappy. After hearing Fu Jin's words, she stood up and said firmly: "Since E-niang knows this reason, why don't you hurt the second sister and me more?" ”

Chunwang Fujin was asked inexplicably, frowned and said, "What is this called, are you teaching Eniang?" ”

Wugege bit his lip, his eyes were already red, and said, "The eldest sister is the daughter of Ama and Eniang, and the second sister is the same as me, isn't it?" Why can the eldest sister stay in the capital, but the second sister and I have to go to Mongolia to eat sand? Before the eldest sister could reach the end, Amma personally asked for the will; The second sister and Lu have been in the palace for half a year, and there have been rumors in the palace that they want to refer to Mongolia, and there is no movement between Ama and Eniang? If you can ask for grace for the eldest sister, why can't you also ask for the second sister? ”

Although she and Ergege have different mothers, the two sisters are about the same age, and they play together when they are young, and their relationship is the deepest.

Although Wugege said this child's words, there was resentment in the middle. Chu Yu was listening, and she didn't know how to comfort her two younger sisters.

Although King Chun Fujin is a little rude, he knows that they are sisters and are reluctant.

She sighed and said with a wry smile: "You have also met a lot with your sisters in the major royal mansions, Baylor Mansions, and other people's houses in this city, how many of them can be in the capital?" There's no way to do it! ”

The five grids had to be said again, but they were stopped by the two grids.

There was some embarrassment in the room, and Chunwang Fujin said to Chu Yu: "It just so happens that today I have newly made bean noodles and gold cakes, which are all things you like when you are young, and ask someone to send them for you to taste two bites!" So saying, he told the maid to bring it.

The golden cake is made after the hawthorn is boiled, and it is the most appetizing to eat.

Chu Yu said with a smile: "My daughter really wants the golden cakes of our palace, and there are also them in the palace over there, but they are too sweet to eat, and they are not as refreshing as the palace here." ”

One time later, the maid had already brought up two small plates. a white jade saucer with sliced gold cake on top; An agate dish filled with chrysanthemum-filled glutinous rice cake with bean flour on the outside.

This red and white match makes people feel pleasing to the eye when they see it. Chu Yu smiled and took a small fork, forked a piece of gold cake and sent it to his mouth, and immediately his lips were full of relish.

"It's delicious!" She ate two or three pieces in a row, and then reluctantly withdrew her gaze, and tasted another piece of bean flour cake.

As soon as the smell of beans came into his mouth, Chu Yu only felt his stomach rolling, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and retched. She couldn't even smell it, her face turned white, she hurriedly got up from the kang, and stood far away, only then did she feel more comfortable.

When King Chun Fujin and Na Lashi saw it, their eyes widened, and they said, "This ......"

*Inside the Dongzhi Gate, Li House.

Li Nai sat in the inner hall, his face a little anxious. Hearing movement in the back room, he immediately stood up.

I saw the curtain of the door opened, and an old lady with a white beard came out. Xiangtong followed behind, her eyes a little red.

Li Nai couldn't wait to ask, "Doctor Zhou, how is the diagnosis?" But...... But there's it? ”

The old lady smiled and arched her hand, and said, "Congratulations to the eldest son, this little grandmother in it is indeed happy!" ”

Li Nai let out a long breath, his face was full of joy, and sighed: "God is pitiful and ...... it."
