Chapter 566: The Game
Haidian, Cao's residential garden.
However, in more than a month, the Queen Mother Rehe has already given two things, last time it was bayberry, apple, and ginseng, and this time it was hazelnut, water chestnut, lotus root, and pheasant.
Every time, it was sent by the steward of the Seventh Elder Brother's Mansion.
The Seventh Elder Brother and the Side Fujin Lala clan followed the Hure River, so naturally they had to prepare things for the family and their daughters. All sorts of things came down, and there were several carts of things each time.
Because it was the Queen Mother's "named" reward, Chu Yu personally came out to receive it every time, and this time it was the same.
Chu Yu first asked about the seventh elder brother's physical condition, and the steward replied respectfully.
After this steward stayed in the capital temporarily, Ming'er had to return to Rehe, Chu Yu asked someone to wrap a silver reward, and then asked him to come here for a return trip tomorrow.
She also has to write a letter of "thanksgiving" to the Queen Mother, and she also has to write a letter to her parents.
After the steward left, Chu Yu looked at the hazelnuts, fresh water chestnuts and lotus roots placed in the hall in a daze.
Although she is the great-granddaughter of the Queen Mother, the number of times the grandfather and grandson have met is counted, how can there ever be such a good tolerance?
She is not a fool, she understands what is going on in her heart, and in the family letter of the seventh elder brother, she has also mentioned that she is called to "respect" her in-laws.
Chu Yu's docile surname, the seventh elder brother knows. I also deliberately mentioned it here, but I was afraid that she would think less when she was young and would be inconsiderate to her in-laws.
Thinking of the gaffe of the Queen Mother, and then thinking of the previous speculation with her husband, Chu Yu sighed, took the gift list, and asked Xicai to take the mother-in-law to carry these things to the Li family.
The Queen Mother's reward is so generous, it is really embarrassing.
After all, it is an identity that cannot be revealed, so it is eye-catching, but it is not a good thing.
On the Li side, it is lively.
Tian, Lianqiu, and Xiqiu all talked with each other in the West House, and the children were all playing in the outer hall.
This is what Cao Yin ordered Chu Yu before, asking her to bring more people to accompany the Li family during the day, so that the Li family can sleep, which is not good for the body.
Although there are also many powerful gardens nearby, the Li family is impatient to meet outsiders because of his nostalgia, and Chu Yu comes forward to socialize.
Although Chu Yu has the heart to accompany her mother-in-law more, Amethyst is not here, she needs to stare at more inside and out, and she does not have enough time. There was really no way to do this, so she entrusted the Tian family and Sister Lianqiu.
Tian's family, Lianqiu, and Xiqiu are half of their own people, and they are all honest surnames, not the kind of naughty and noisy. Li usually treats them as if they were their own people, but they can also talk about it together.
Naturally, most of these words are children.
Tianhui just toddler, the rest is already five years old in Niuniu, Tianyou, Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng are four years old, and Hengsheng is three years old, which is the naughty age.
No, Niuniu led the left team, Tianyou took Zuo Cheng and Hengsheng a team, and the children played the game of fighting and grabbing the mountain.
Although Niuniu is a little girl, her surname is lively, with a small chest, and she also has a bit of a "general" style.
However, Zuozhu, the "little pawn", did not give her any courage, and she lost two battles.
I really don't complain about the left, this enemy Tianyou "marshal" sent the young general Hengsheng out for the first time.
Hengsheng is the youngest among the boys, but he looks the most acquainted, and his strength is also the best.
Although Zuo Zhu is also chubby and looks strong, compared with Hang Sheng, it seems to be a false trick, not Hang Sheng's opponent.
After a defeat and regrouping, this is the second "confrontation".
This time, Tianyou sent Zuo Cheng, the twin brother of Zuo Zhu.
Compared with the chubby brother, the younger brother on the left is much more delicate, and his body is slightly thin.
He almost died after giving birth, and although he survived after many requests for medicine, he had to get sick twice a year.
Although it can't be said to be a "glass man", but this crying child has milk to eat, and the house takes more care of Zuo Chengcheng.
is to live on the left, and it is also said by his mother Tian that he should not bully his younger brother, but love his younger brother, or something.
Seeing that the other party sent his younger brother, Zuozhu stepped forward, but he didn't dare to do it.
Boys are naughty, and Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers have also fought before.
Tian's slap was raised, but he was still reluctant to fall on his son, but he cried for most of the night in front of the spiritual seat in front of the hall.
Although Zuozhu didn't get slapped, he remembered his surname in his heart and didn't want to do anything with his younger brother again.
He bluffed twice, but he withdrew from the "battlefield" and admitted defeat.
"Oops, oops, I gave you three pieces of lotus paste cakes, where did all this strength go!" Niuniu jumped to her feet, pouted, and complained to Zuozhu.
Zuo Zhu blushed when he was said, bowed his head and said: "The strength is still there, but my mother said that I want to learn from Tianyou, and I want to be like my brother......"
Niuniu listened, shook her head, and said: "One yard is one yard, and the stupid guy lives on the left." ”
Looking at the infighting on their side, a few boys on Tianyou's side were very proud.
Niuniu really couldn't get used to it, pinched her small waist and said to Tianyou: "It's only two rounds, what's the pride?" There is a third game to compare, I, the general, want to beat you marshal! ”
"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom!" Tianyou patted his small chest and took a step forward, but then he hesitated.
"You're a woman......" he hesitated and said.
Niuniu was already ready to face the battle, but when she heard Tianyou's words, she was so angry that her face was flushed.
Although she is still young, Niuniu remembers that she has heard people mention that it means nothing more than "it's good to be a boy", as if girls are inferior.
Hearing Tianyou mention this, Niuniu was a little angry, glared and said, "What's wrong with the woman?" Which do you look down on? You also have to have some real skills, or you can't even beat the women, and see who is ashamed. ”
Tianyou said that sentence unintentionally, but when he saw that Niuniu was angry, he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.
Niuniu has already arrived at the "battlefield" in the middle, beckoning God to bless the past.
Tianyou bit his lip and said, "The competition is the competition, and I don't look down on it." ”
As he spoke, he had already stepped forward and arrived at the "battlefield" to meet the enemy.
Niuniu is taller than Tianyou, and she is used to it. The two children tore in the circle drawn in the middle, and Niuniu had already pushed Tianyou to the ground.
Before the maid who was watching next to her had time to step forward to help, Niuniu had already sat Tianyou under her buttocks, clapped her hands and said, "Your subordinates are defeated, and you still don't want to be forgiven?" ”
When Tianyou fell, he touched his leg, and his little face was clumped.
After listening to Niuniu's words, Tianyou shook his head, very unconvinced, and said: "I am the marshal who gave the order, and the younger brothers are the generals who played......"
While talking, there were already people in the inner room who had reported to Lianqiu and others, and the maid and the maid also stepped forward to separate the two children.
Lianqiu heard the report that her daughter had "beaten" Tianyou, and looked at Li's and Chu Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a little embarrassment, so she hurriedly rushed out to see.
Although Chu Yu said that the children were okay with the game, she was a little uneasy and went out to watch.
In the hall, it was Niu Niu who pulled God to bless, and several children had already gathered together, smiling and thinking about other games...... When the Xicai people sent the things given by the Queen Mother, I don't know if they were attracted by the new lotus root and hazelnuts, and the little ones were also much quieter, and followed them to the West House.
Just now, Chu Yu had already given the list of these rewards to the Li family.
Li Shi looked straight and said "The old man of the Queen Mother is kind", and asked Chu Yu if he needed to prepare filial piety. In the end, it is a junior, and it is not easy to suffer from these in vain.
Chu Yu thought for a moment, smiled and asked Li to decide.
The Li family also talked about the fortune in the Zhuangzi and the strange things sent from the south, thinking of finding some more uncommon ones to give the Queen Mother a return gift.
The children are already circling around water chestnuts and hazelnuts.
Seeing this, Li couldn't laugh, and said to Chu Yu: "Since it is something given to you by the Queen Mother, it is not easy to send it at will outside, and it is ...... in Dongfu You see, if there are a lot of hazelnuts, I will send some to the second wife, she loves these the most. ”
Chu Yu said with a smile: "There are a lot of everything, my wife will leave some of what she likes to eat, and how to arrange the rest, please show my wife." ”
Li waved his hand and said, "Since it is a reward for you, how can I be cheeky and make the decision?" You look at the arrangement, it's just a fresh meal, and it's not a rare thing. ”
Chu Yu listened, so he didn't say anything more.
Needless to say, Tian and Mr. Zhuang also prepared a few copies to send back to the city, one more, sent to Dongfu, one less, and one less, but it was all complete, and the food box was packed separately, which was reserved for Amethyst.
There is a relationship between the Pingjun Palace, and the seasonal tribute in this kind of place, when the masters in the palace use the stubble, it will be the turn of the major palaces, so Chu Yu did not prepare for the ...... * Beijing, East Mansion, and Inner Courtyard to go to the house.
Zhao Jiashi looked at his son Cao Song, his face was a little indignant, and he frowned: "Why did you take that hoove-scratching back?" If it weren't for her...... Your brother won't come this far...... If it weren't for the piece of meat in her stomach, she would have been beaten to death with a big stick. ”
Cao Song's face was dark and thin, and he looked much more stable than before.
It has been a few days since he returned to the capital, except for going to Haidian to greet Cao Yin and his wife once. Other times, it was useless for him to investigate thoroughly.
Looking at his mother like this, Cao Song's heart was not comfortable, but he still persuaded: "Mother, in the end, she is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the third brother, and she will also be the biological mother of the third brother's children in the future. ”
When Zhao Jiashi heard this, his face loosened slightly, but he still couldn't hide his disgust, and muttered: "Since that's the case, I'll let her be allowed for a few more months." You have to make it clear to your daughter-in-law, when the hooves come back, you can go as far as you can, don't let me see her, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't care about the piece of meat in her belly......"
While the mother and son were talking, they saw Zilan come in and said, "Madam, the eldest grandmother sent someone to send something over, and said that she wanted to greet the wife, can the wife see it?" ”
When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he was quite interested, nodded and said, "Call them over, I just want to ask if the eldest lady is in the garden." ”
The one who brought someone to deliver the things was Xiyun, who had changed into a woman's outfit.
She has already married, and now she is called "Zhang Yijia" by the man's name, and she is still on an errand by Chu Yu's side, but she does not serve closely, but follows Chu Yu out of the house, or helps to socialize in other houses.
Cao Song saw that his mother was relieved, and he had already gone back first, and told Jinghui that he wanted to prepare a carriage for these two days to bring back the incense that was waiting to be given birth in Zhuangzi.
If you can give birth to a boy and a girl, your younger brother will also have an incense inheritance. Cao Song thought so, so he took the initiative to mention this matter.
It was both her husband's order and her mother-in-law's permission, and Jinghui had nothing to say.
Cao Song did not stay in the house for a long time, but went to the West Cross Courtyard where Cao Shuo was before his death.
There are no more people living here, and a few clumps of grass have grown in the cracks of the green bricks in the yard, which makes the yard a little desolate.
Cao Song squatted on the ground, pulled a few bushes of grass, and cursed in his mouth: "Bastard, what a useless bastard, how can I have a brother like you, ah, how can I have a brother like you......"
scolded and scolded, but he gradually stopped his voice, sat on the ground, slapped himself a few times, and said in a dumb voice: "It's all bastard brother is not good, junior, you are down there...... Don't embarrass yourself, if you want to blame, blame your bastard brother for not teaching you well......"
* In the northwest, outside the plug, looking at the continuous military tents in the distance, Cao Hao's face couldn't help but show joy.
Although the scenery of the grassland is beautiful, it has also been warmly welcomed by countless Mongolians because of the great lama along the way, but the boredom is also indescribable.
Listening to the sound of wooden wheels and facing a great lama who seems to be able to see through the heart, this is really not interesting.
The destination of the great lama is Hami, and he, the "angel", also has to accompany him. However, before arriving at the Heshuo army, it can be regarded as walking most of the way, and the rest is hundreds of miles away from Hami.
The former directors of the army here were Shangshu Fu Ning'an and Xi'an General Xi Zhu, and the soldiers led by the naturalized generals Fei Yanggu and Fu Erdan were stationed in the other direction.
After getting the news that the Great Lama had arrived, Fu Ning'an and Xi Zhu had already come out with the attendants and subordinates here to greet them.
The great lama is a Buddhist master who is enshrined by the imperial court, and he also has a seat in front of the emperor, so they dare not slack off.
After stopping here for a while, he had to continue his journey, so the Grand Lama ordered to be stationed not far from the barracks, and did not mix into the barracks.
Fu Ning'an and Xi Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that the Great Lama would bring these people who came with him into the military camp.
There must be no women in the barracks, or those young girls will be a source of trouble.
Although the stations are separated, there is still to be this "wind and dust".
In addition to the Grand Lama, those who were honored by Fu Ning'an and Xi Zhu were Cao Hao, the "Qin Cha", and ten guards such as Nalan Fusen and Heshan.
Cao Hao was a little puzzled, didn't this little second come to the northwest by order to be in front of the tent in Funing? His brother is halfway there, why hasn't he seen Xiao Er come out?
After the banquet, Cao Hao couldn't help it, found a bargain, and asked Fu Ning'an for advice.
Seeing that Cao Hao was chaotic and unknown, Fu Ningan sighed and said: "Cao Efu has been in Khalkha for the past few months, and there are also cases where he can't receive letters from home. Please also mourn and change, so that my brother took the funeral letter and went back to mourn......"
Cao Hao felt that his brain was "buzzing", and people were already stupid...... Until someone patted him on the shoulder with joy and said, "Fu Ruo, if you really arrived, I should still listen to him......"
