Chapter 205: The Last Years
After Yin Zhen's ear mentioned the face, Huizhu's heart to let go of the wilderness gradually retracted, no longer go to the village and countryside, if you really want to go out to breathe the natural clarity of the field, at that time, she will bring many guards, slaves, just like a powerful Fujin travel style. Occasionally, she looked from the sedan chair, and when she saw Aunt Zhang who was selling, or the simple peasant women who were gossiping, she only smiled faintly, and she no longer had the mood at that time, because she was not one of them after all-the four ladies, but the side of the current Prince Yong, Niu Hulu's Huizhu.
The days are still unhurried, although they are in the countryside, the life of Huizhu's mother and daughter is also very fulfilling. Among them, there are two things that make Huizhu happiest: first, Baolian's ear disease, if it really responds to the words of Imperial Doctor Xue, by the early autumn, Baolian's hearing is no problem, her right ear is completely healed, and her left ear can also hear some sounds; Second, her guzheng skills have grown a lot, and she is also decent to play, especially in September, Yin Zhenren did not come, but sent someone to send a golden silk nan wood of the best guzheng and a set of beautiful tortoiseshell rings, so that she can't put it down, and she always has to play it for an hour every day before she is willing to give up.
However, when Huizhu was far away from the mountains, the situation in Jingli and the situation in the mansion every month, Geng and General Manager Wen would beat people to bring news.
For example, in October, there were two news, one is that Emperor Kangxi summoned Yinzhen, the fourteenth son of the general of Fuyuan, to return to Beijing after a cold storm, which made the chaotic field more turbulent, and faintly affected the whole body.
These two things are divided into the inner house of the court, and Huizhu can't control the affairs of the court and doesn't want to pay attention to it, but Nian's birth of a child in the palace is a happy event, and she needs to take some trouble to prepare congratulatory gifts. Hou Xiaoranzi helped to arrange the congratulatory gifts, and when there was no one, he complained: "Master, it's the end of October, and the master hasn't been here once this month, and eighty percent of them are caught by that." ”
Huizhu was noncommittal, did not answer, but had other thoughts in her heart, Yinzhen rested for a night last month, and she didn't sleep at night, thinking it was related to Yinzhen.
However, this month, Nian's gave birth to a child, and Nian Qianyao was in charge of Yinzhen's military affairs, I don't know if this is a turning point for Yinzhen? I couldn't think about it, Huizhu shook her head and smiled, throwing away her thoughts, only saying that she was worrying about it, what kind of character is Yinzhen, how can she worry about it, if she follows the historical trajectory, Yinzhen will be Emperor Yongzheng in the future.
Xiao Ranzi's eyebrows fluttered and danced, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hui Zhuwu laughing to himself, and wondered: "Master, what are you laughing at?" Huizhu said casually: "Send someone to send the congratulatory gift of Xisan, and then you go to ponder the congratulatory gift of the full moon, and I will go back to the house to attend at that time." ”
When Xiao Ranzi heard this, he grinned and shouted: "Master, you are too much to give that person face, if you go back that day, others will still think that you are afraid of her." Huizhu glared angrily, thinking she wanted to go? But if you don't go, it will be rumored that she is not the same as Nian's, and she has a reputation for jealousy, and she hasn't returned to the house for nearly half a year. thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The more big and small, the master has a good child, how can I not go," Xiao Ranzi was blocked, pursed his lips, and honestly responded to the order.
The weather was cold very quickly, and in November, the whole capital also entered the cold winter. At the end of this month, on the day of the full moon banquet of Nian's little elder brother, the sky was still misty, Huizhu was already wrapped in a blue-gray fur cloak, holding a delicate small wool stove in her hand, and sat in the carriage to Prince Yong's mansion.
The carriage rushed to the palace in front of the study of Hongli, at this time Hongli and Hongday brothers were waiting in front of their carriage, Huizhu got out of the carriage, regardless of the wind and snow outside, pulled Hongli to ask long and short, until the time was not early, Fang let Hongli brothers leave.
Seeing that the Hongli brothers got into the carriage, the Geng family and the An family, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward to ask for peace, Huizhu said a few words, and said: "It's better to go to the main courtyard to save Fu Jinchen first." The two said yes, Shi Huizhu came to the main courtyard, at this time, the hour was still early, and no one had come to ask for peace, but fortunately, the Wulanala clan seemed to have expected Huizhu to come to the morning province, and had already sent Mama Wang to congratulate in front of the courtyard gate.
Huizhu talked and laughed with Mama Wang for a few words, and then entered the main house. In the main room, the Wulanala clan sat neatly on the top seat, and after the three of them saluted, Fang Han said: "It's cold outside, Mama Wang quickly let the maids make a cup of hot tea for the three younger sisters." ”
The three of Huizhu sat down according to their words, and the Wulanala clan pulled Huizhu, who had not seen her for many months, and said something half-loud, but the words revealed a meaning, that is, to let Huizhu move back to the house as soon as possible. Huizhu smiled lightly, prevaricating that Baolian's condition was not well and needed to recuperate, and the Wulanala clan also stopped and said no more. Then he spoke half a little more, and asked Geng's and An's to accompany Huizhu to rest, so that they could participate in the full moon banquet of Nian's little brother at noon.
After resigning from the Ulanala clan, Huizhu and the three returned to the courtyard, Su Xin had prepared hot water to eat and wait, Huizhu covered her hands, wiped the residual water in her hands, and sighed: "It's still comfortable for Su Xin to serve." Su Xin pretended to be displeased and said: "The slaves and maids are so old, and the master is still making fun of the slaves and maids in front of the two Gege. With that, he left the house with a hot water basin.
There were only the three of them in the house, and after breakfast, Huizhu was drinking almond tea slowly, only to hear An Shi ask, "How is Baolian Gege's condition?" Niu Hulu Fujin, are you going home soon? Huizhu put the tea bowl down and said in a calm tone: "It's going to take a while." ”
Hearing this, An Shi was a little gloomy, stirring the Jinpa in his hand, looking at Huizhu who wanted to speak and stopped, his lips moved, half loud, but he bowed his head and said nothing.
From seeing An's side today, Huizhu has guessed that An's life is not very good these days, and at this time, she carefully looked at An's thin body, and there is a sadness that can't be erased between her eyebrows. Huizhu sighed secretly in her heart, wanting to soothe a few words, but she felt that it was useless, so she simply didn't say a word.
When the atmosphere was a little silent, Geng sighed as if unintentionally: "Nian Fujin is also a bitter life, and the concubine heard that the little elder brother is still not in good health, so this is a full moon wine, and the master still doesn't let the little elder brother actually rank in the clan, so it should also take the word 'Fu'." Huizhu understood the meaning of Geng's words, raised her eyebrows, and motioned for Geng to continue.
Geng's understanding, and then gossiping: "But fortunately, the year of Fujin has the pity of the master, although in the past few months, the grandfather is busy with affairs, and rarely sets foot in the inner courtyard, but every four or five days, it will still be last year Fujin to ask about the situation, that is, the little brother gave birth to that body is not very good, and De Niangniang and the master also sent someone to send good medicine and food." ”
A cold light flashed in An Shi's eyes, and he directly interrupted Geng's words and said: "Fujin is too much, and not everyone can stand it, not to mention that behind this kind of scenery, no one can tell the meaning behind it." Before he finished speaking, An Shi hurriedly stopped talking, bit his lower lip, got up and saluted: "Concubine gaffe, please Niu Hulu Fujin and Sister Geng to punish her." Huizhu looked at An Shi deeply, and then smiled indifferently: "It's okay, Sister An doesn't need to be too nervous." Geng agreed, An agreed, and the three of them chose some interesting things to talk about, and they just laughed and laughed.
When it was over, the Wulanala clan sent people to invite each other to the main hall of the first courtyard, and the three of Huizhu went together to participate in the full moon banquet of the little brother of the Nian family. Walking to the door, Huizhu took a look at it, and then listened to the normal internal bang, smiling Yan Yan, and knowing that the scale of today's banquet is not small, she took a deep breath, she raised a smile and walked into this lively banquet.
Then Nian's little brother's full moon ceremony lasted for nearly an hour, the shaman held the child and returned to the courtyard under the support of the nobles in the capital, and then the palace rewarded, Yinzhen named the child, Xu is this time Nian's knew that the child still couldn't help the clan ranking, and the reaction was not as big as last time, but when Yinzhen opened his mouth and said that the child's name was "Fuhui", the smile on his face was still momentarily stiff.
Huizhu watched Nian with a smile on her face, and then glanced at her from time to time, but when she greeted others, she always said "Sister Niu Hulu" to show that she had a good relationship, and felt ridiculous. However, in her heart, she was still willing to accept Nian's superficial overtures, so she was also happy to speak in front of everyone like a ball.
In this way, under the intention of many parties, Fujin's full moon banquet and Huizhu's return to the social circle of the capital came to a successful conclusion together.
In the following days, Huizhu was also slightly busy, because after the full moon of Fuhui, it was the wax moon, which was the end of the year. Although she is not in the house, she doesn't have to socialize often, but she also has to prepare New Year's gifts in her name, send them to the capital, and prepare New Year's things in the courtyard, which is not as easy as a few days ago.
Gradually, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month has passed, the flavor of the New Year is more sufficient, and the atmosphere of joy is everywhere, and the temple next to the courtyard is also busy preparing for the New Year. Seeing this, Huizhu couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that foreigners in this world are not exempt from vulgarity, and we idlers should have a good time in the New Year." After Xiao Ranzi and the others heard this, they smiled happily, and they wanted to make this year very lively.
No, just when everything was ready and the courtyard was happy for a little Chinese New Year's Eve, Prince Yong's mansion came, saying that Yin was telling the truth, and she would attend the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the second day of the new year, she would even attend the Qianxing banquet ordered by the Kangxi Emperor. Huizhu didn't like it, thinking that there was still nothing new, but on the second and fifth days of the new year, she saw a thousand feasts that were different from Kangxi's fifty-two years, and the scene was grand and empty, which opened her eyes.
At the same time, under this year's festival celebrated by the whole country, it finally entered the sixty-first year of Kangxi.
