Chapter Twenty-Five: The Golden Boy's Clever Words Resolve the Stagnation and Encourage Each Other with Wisdom
Coming out of the Dejun Palace, the sky was already dark, and there was some wind and snow in the sky, which was not big, but it was really cold.
The golden boy Jing'er was wrapped in two identical mink fur cloaks, and was held by the palace people and stuffed into a soft sedan chair, and the princess sent them out, seeing that the sky was not good, and then left them for a while, if this is an adult, it is difficult to be so gracious, and it is difficult to say that it should be done, only the golden boy They can't be their own master, so they have to refuse the kindness of their aunt again, and brave the wind and snow to return to the palace.
Back to the palace, the lights have been lit everywhere, this cold day, there is no one guarding the door at the corner gate of Kunyi Palace, a few little eunuchs in the gatehouse are eating wine, there are only some wine and food on the table, and they dare not play cards, their masters are tired of these.
Hearing the knock on the door outside, they urged a younger little eunuch to open the door for the little master, the golden boy Jing'er got off the car and was carried by the palace people to the inner hall, the eunuch who drove called his colleagues to help unload the carriage, disturbed the drunken people in the hot head, scolded and came out, kicked the horse's hooves first, provoked the horse to snort, and let out hot white gas.
The golden boy Jing'er entered the inner hall, and before she changed out of the clothes of the visitors, she went to greet the queen first, and the queen accompanied the eldest princess to solve the nine links, and when she saw them come back, the eldest princess threw away the things at hand, twisted her legs to rub off the Luohan bed.
The queen stopped her waist and hugged her, and let the golden boy Jing'er come closer, "Come back, let's set the meal, the jade girl is hungry for a long time, but I have to wait for you to come back and eat together." ”
Jing'er was frightened, lowered her head and was cowardly, and the golden boy smiled: "The jade girl has the most conscience, knows how to be considerate of her family, the mother and queen are busy worshipping the ancestors, and she missed the meal several times, she also waits and refuses to eat, I can't feed her, I have to wait for the queen mother to come back before I open my mouth." ”
When the queen thought of this, her heart was open, and her face also brought out a smile, looking down at her daughter's delicate and lovely face, the more she looked at it, the more she loved it, and couldn't help but bow her head and kiss her, this is her own daughter.
Since the jade girl was hungry, as soon as the golden boy Jing'er entered the door, the queen beckoned to set the meal, and they didn't want to change their clothes again, but Jing'er asked the palace people to unload the hairpin ring jewelry, wash their hands in the copper basin, and sit down at the dining table.
The queen is a person who attaches great importance to the rules, pays attention to food and does not say anything, if the golden boy only eats with her, he really does not dare to say much, and the whole meal is silent, but now the eldest princess is the age to learn to speak, and her mouth is not idle for a moment.
"Brother, is it fun to go to relatives?"
Most children like to go out as guests, and the eldest princess has not been out of the palace yet, but it does not prevent her from yearning for the outside world.
Jin Tongxin said: Go this house and go to that house, the butt is not hot and you have to go to the next house, where is there anything to play, this cold day, isn't it a toss heart.
"Fun, we went to my uncle's and grandfather's house, their house is very beautiful, my uncle and grandmother's house put a pot of ginger leaves, with a porcelain pot to raise in the soil, this cold day, the end is full of green, I thought it was bamboo, but not as green as the bamboo leaves, the ginger leaves are tender green, have you ever seen ginger leaves? The ginger tea you want to drink when you are cold is boiled out of its fruit, don't look at its taste is not very good, this stem and leaf is beautiful to look at. ”
The queen also nodded: "These things are full of treasures, you don't have to think that it tastes bad, it's good for your body to eat it." ”
The eldest princess is not interested in the ginger leaves of her uncle's grandmother's house, she only cares about what they play with their friends.
The golden boy was familiar with her intentions, and mentioned a few children from her relatives: "Sister Ting was very happy to see us going, and told us that the little rabbit she raised only eats radishes and vegetable leaves, if it weren't for her uncle and grandmother, she was afraid that she would have to carry the cage to show us, we couldn't sit more, and made an appointment to play in a warm place." Uncle Detang's brother Duo has gained some weight again, he was infected with the wind and cold during the New Year, and he didn't come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and next time he comes back, I'm afraid he will be taller than you. Sister Yu still loves candy, wrapped a stack of sugar plums in a handkerchief and wanted to hide them and eat them, so her aunt saw it and said that she was careful of eating bad teeth. Her teeth are really not very good, jade girl, you also love sugar, beware of eating bad teeth, and then you two sisters with open teeth will play together. ”
The eldest princess listened to her brother and forgot to chew her food, but she felt that it was really interesting to go out as a guest, but it was a pity that she couldn't go, next year, next year she must go! When she heard her brother say that she was open-toothed, she smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she didn't know what she was talking about, but she looked at her very happy.
The queen straightened her body and reprimanded her: "Don't talk when you eat, beware of choking, eat quickly, and talk about it after eating." ”
Although she was admonishing, her tone was not harsh, the eldest princess was not afraid of her with a smile, the golden boy was not nervous, Jing'er was also secretly relieved, and her brother always had a way to save the day.
After dinner, the queen took the three children to sit on the Luohan bed and talk, the eldest princess still chattered non-stop, asked her brother and sister about the day's itinerary, and said what she did at home today, her brother and sister are not playing alone in her, and the next time they go out to go out relatives must take her.
The queen coaxed her: "Your brother and sister are six years old this year, and this is the first time they have gone out, and you can't go out until you are six years old, how many years do you have left?" ”
The eldest princess counted on her fingers, and after a year and a year older, then she would be three years old, and then a year old, four years old!
"I'll be able to go next year!"
The queen choked: "How do you count!" Why is it next year? ”
The eldest princess told her: "I am three years old for the New Year, four years old, my brothers and sisters are five years old, I will be five years old next year, and I will leave my relatives at the age of five." ”
The queen patted her on the forehead: "Will you grow up?" Your brother and sister were five years old last year and are still five years old this year? ”
The eldest princess said: "My brother and sister are not yet six years old, they are five years old. ”
She remembers clearly, her brother and sister are born on November, that is, when she eats longevity noodles and red eggs, she will eat a bowl every year, and then another bowl on her own birthday.
The queen laughed angrily at her, "You calculate the age for yourself, and count it for your brothers and sisters, according to your calculation, they will call your sister in a few years." ”
No matter what the queen said, the eldest princess decided that she could leave her relatives next year, and the queen didn't want her, so she thought about it for a night, and read it until she washed her face and feet and sat in the bed, and her mouth didn't stop, the queen couldn't, so she had to answer her first, the child was forgetful, and where could she remember next year.
It was cold in winter, the queen took the eldest princess to bed early, and the golden boy and Jing'er sat with the queen and the eldest princess for a while after dinner, and they only retired when the queen was ready to wash and settle. After returning to their side hall, they also had to wash and change their clothes, put on fine cotton bedclothes, and wrap a small cloak on the outside, so that the palace people could brighten up the lights, and they had to memorize the big characters.
They are diligent and studious, but the palace people yawned for a long time, and Xinhe urged Jing'er several times, "It's getting late, girl, let's rest, Ming'er can write again, it's a big deal for Ming'er to write two more." ”
Jing'er called her impatient, and forced her to hold back her anger and said: "I still have two more to write, if you are sleepy and go to sleep, I will turn off the lights and settle myself after I finish writing." ”
Xinhe pouted, in the end, he couldn't leave the master to settle it himself, so he had to stand and wait for Jing'er to finish writing.
Jing'er is still in the stage of drawing red and writing big characters, her hands and feet are slow, and the two calligraphy sheets don't seem to be much, but they are enough for her to write for a while, and when she puts down her pen, the hourglass has pointed to the middle of the hour.
Xinhe thanked God, and hurriedly stepped forward to pack up Jing'er's bookware, and beckoned Xiao Gong'e outside to make a basin of hot water to clean Jing'er's hands, and after washing her hands, go to bed.
Jing'er waited for the water to come and asked Xinhe to put up a small curtain by the window to show her, Xinhe didn't know what to do, so she did so, the window of their house was facing the golden boy's house, and the two of them divided the room, but they were still in a side hall, not far apart.
The lights in the golden boy's house were still on, Jing'er smiled heartily, her brother was only more diligent than her, how could he go to bed earlier than her.
"Childe, the lights in the big girl's house are out, let's settle it quickly!"
I don't know what's wrong, I finished writing the big characters early in the morning, and I have to wait for the big girl to sleep before he can sleep, and the tired subordinates have to stay up with him.
The golden boy nodded, climbed into the bed by himself, got into the quilt, the palace people tucked the corners of the quilt for him, put down the curtain, extinguished the lights inside and out, except for the palace people who kept vigil, the entire Kunyi Palace fell asleep.
