Chapter 164: Double Happiness
Chapter 164: Double Happiness
The rain in June is continuous, and the fire is scorching in July, in the two months of bitter summer, Yinzhen has never set foot in Huizhu's yard, so, according to what others have seen, Huizhu has fallen out of favor for a year since Baolian was injured.
Huizhu didn't have this feeling of falling out of favor, thinking that she had never been favored, so how to talk about the word fall out of favor, not to mention that Yinzhen's favor was not what she wanted. It's just that during this period of time, she really didn't have a good time, and from time to time she remembered Yinzhen's questioning that day, and she didn't feel bitter in her heart, even if she ate the refreshing and delicious lotus seeds in summer, she could also taste a touch of bitterness from it.
Fortunately, these days, Yinzhen has not come to the yard again, it can be regarded as her selfish escape, before she figured out her thoughts, she didn't have to face Yinzhen, she didn't have to remember the embarrassment of asking him for something that day but was refused, and she didn't have to let herself think about things that she didn't want to do at all. However, with Baolian by her side, Hongli who lives in Changchun Garden, and things she likes to do, although her life is dull, it is also comfortable and comfortable.
The days passed without slowness, and in a blink of an eye, it was the time of the annual osmanthus fragrance, and the weather was gradually cooler.
One afternoon, the bright sun poured down in large swaths, but it was not like the scorching heat of bitter summer, with a lazy warm atmosphere, reflecting the afterglow of a room. Xiao Ranzi leaned on the doorrail, squinted his eyes, was napping in a sleepy mood, staggered, shrunken body upside down, frightened and instantly sobered up, hurriedly looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, and couldn't help but lean on the doorrail proudly.
At this time, I suddenly saw Ah Xing running into the main house frizzily, hurriedly put down her hand, stood up straight, and reprimanded: "I have been serving by the master's side for two years, and I am still so unruly." I don't know if the master and Xiao Gege are taking a nap, and they woke up the master...... "Without waiting for Xiao Ranzi to continue chattering, Ah Xing swallowed her saliva and interrupted hurriedly: "Little Brother is back, it is Brother Hongli who has returned to the house, and now he is in the main courtyard to ask Fujin for peace." ”
"What-" Xiao Ranzi exclaimed, Ah Xing thought she hadn't made it clear, and said it again: "Brother Hongli has returned to the house, and now ......" This time it was not before Ah Xing finished speaking, Xiao Ranzi's figure had disappeared behind the curtain in the inner room, and then Xiao Ranzi was heard to say in a loud voice: "Master, little brother has returned home." ”
Huizhu was woken up by a burst of talking, and as soon as she opened her sleepy eyes, she saw Xiao Ranzi running in and shouting in a loud voice: "Master, little brother has returned home." Huizhu sat up violently, and did not pursue Xiao Ranzi's recklessness, and hurriedly asked: "Hongli is back, why don't you say it in advance, what about others?" Why didn't you see it? As he spoke, he had put on his shoes and went down.
Xiao Ranzi remembered Ah Xing's words, touched his head and smirked: "It's the slave who is impatient, Brother Hongli is still in the main courtyard at this time to ask Fujin for peace, I want to come back in a while, the master is not in a hurry." ”
Huizhu didn't pay attention to Xiao Ranzi's words, her son, who had lived outside for more than eight months, was coming back, how could she not be in a hurry, she was about to call someone to take a look, but she heard Baolian crying, and only then did she remember that Baolian was still taking a nap, and she should have been woken up. I had to hurriedly turn around and go back to the bed, picking up the almost two-year-old Bao Lian and coaxing her.
After coaxing for a while, Baolian stopped crying, changed her voice with red eyes, turned her head, looked out from Huizhu's shoulder, and looked curiously at the person at the door curtain. Xiao Ranzi's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen Yinzhen's father and son, so he took a step forward, knelt down on one knee and said: "Slave Xiao Ranzi, please Da'an, please Hongli Brother Da'an." Yinzhen said "En", stepped into the inner room, and sat down on the cool kang quietly.
Huizhu put down Baolian, and after saluting Yinzhen a little stiffly, her heart and eyes turned to Hongli, looking at Hongli who was wearing a robe of the emperor and grandson, and her heart was both relieved and sour.
The child grew up fast, but I haven't seen it for a long time, Hongli has grown a lot taller, and it has reached her chest, and the previous chubby little body has become slender and strong, and the round little fleshy face is gone, and the complexion has darkened a lot.
Huizhu looked at Hongli without blinking, as if she couldn't see enough, and after half a sound, she said distressedly: "Why is it so dark, and people have lost a lot of weight, but they have suffered hardship." Yin Zhen said simply: "In the past few months, Hongli has begun to learn riding and archery kung fu, and he has been running on horseback for the whole month last month, and it is natural to be black and thin." After speaking, he looked at Hongli with a serious face and said, "Go and say hello to your mother." Hongli respectfully responded, took two steps back, and kowtowed to Huizhu in a proper manner.
Huizhu hurriedly asked Hongli to get up, carefully asked Hongli about the situation in recent days, and talked about Hongli's birthday, only then did he remember the matter, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you suddenly go back home today, do you want to go in the future?" Hongli glanced at Yinzhen, bowed his head and replied: "Huang Ma will return to the palace tomorrow, and today I happened to hear Ama say that his son will be born tomorrow, so he asked his son to go back to the house to accompany Eniang for a day, and he has to go back to the palace study early in the morning." ”
It turned out that she was going back to the palace, and Huizhu let out an "oh" with some interest, and then smiled again: "E-Niang knows, you have to make some of your favorite food for your birthday tomorrow." Hongli still bowed his head and said: "Lao Eniang is bothered." Hearing this, Huizhu couldn't help but feel gloomy in her heart, and she didn't show anything on her face.
With a soft sound of "knock", Yinzhen put down the teacup, glanced at Huizhu's mother and son, and said coldly: "I still have something to deal with, so let's go first." With that, he got up from the kang and got up. Huizhu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up and sent him to the porch of the main house, Yinzhen looked at Huizhu again with burning eyes, and left without waiting for him to find out.
Huizhu didn't turn around and go back to the inner room until Yinzhen's figure was out of sight.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, before he crossed the threshold, Hongli threw himself into his arms, and his little head was buried in it, and he said sullenly: "Eniang, Hongli misses you so much, but you have a sister, so you don't want Hongli." When Huizhu heard this, she couldn't help but have a sour nose, but her heart was as sweet as honey, and she hugged Hongli's small body tightly.
Hearing only a few "ooh" sounds, Baolian shook her body and ran over, while holding her little hand and patting Hongli's body, she said with a milky temper: "Let go, Eniang is mine, mine!" Hongli raised his head, twisted his two thick eyebrows, his eyes widened, and he grunted unconvinced: "Eniang is also mine." In a word, there is no precocious and unfamiliar in the forefront.
With a "flutter", Huizhu looked at the two brothers and sisters in front of her, one tall and one short, and couldn't help laughing, Su Xin and the others couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard it.
Hongli seemed to notice everyone's laughter, retracted his gaze, looked at Baolian who was holding Huizhu's legs, and hummed: "Eniang is mine, but for the sake of your sister, I can barely count you." After saying it with a domineering face, when he turned his head to look at Huizhu, he said with a coquettish face: "Eniang, I want to eat shaved ice, fresh milk shaved ice." ”
Huizhu bent down and scratched Hongli's nose, and said with an embarrassed face: "Now that the weather is getting cold, it's not okay to eat this." But for the sake of seeing that our Hongli is about to die, it's better to make you a small bowl. Hongli cheered, and everyone laughed.
For a while, the sounds of boys and girls frolicking and the laughter of adults echoed in this delicate and small courtyard, accompanied by the chirping insects at the base of the wall, intoxicated by the breeze......
The cheerful time passed very quickly, on the second day after Hongli's seventh birthday, the rising sun, the morning dew ice crystals, Hongli had sat in the carriage, with the sound of "clicking" horses' hooves, gradually driving towards the palace.
Huizhu sent Hongli away and returned to the courtyard. In the inner room, Su Xin was sitting at the head of the bed folding her clothes, and when she saw Huizhu coming back, she hurriedly put down her clothes, lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Little brother went back to the palace, this is too fast, and he has to leave before he stays for a few days." But this is also for his future, and that's all. Speaking of this, Su Xin burst into tears and said with a smile: "The master is still nervous about the master, seeing that the master hasn't seen the little brother for a long time, and taking advantage of the little brother's birthday, he sent the master back to the house, isn't this still the master in his heart." The more Su Xin spoke, the more he felt that Yinzhen was thinking about this Huizhu, so he deliberately took Hongli back home.
Huizhu frowned and was silent, putting aside the constant chatter, after cleaning up, she went to the main courtyard to save her life, and did not regard the fact that Hongli could return to the house to live her life as something that Yinzhen did on purpose.
In order to adapt to the invasion of Tibet and consolidate the southwest frontier, Emperor Kangxi led 2,600 troops to garrison Chengdu. In the southeast coastal garrison, in Fuzhou, Guangzhou and other places, there are generals, subordinate commanders, assistant leaders, staff leaders, defense, Xiao cavalry schools, etc., commanding 2,000 soldiers and 3,000 soldiers. At the same time, news came from Niu Hulu Mansion that Junxian was transferred to Guangzhou for three years and promoted to the rank of commander of the Wupin Military Attache.
After reading the letter, Huizhu was taken aback, in addition to Junxian being transferred to the children of the Eight Banners of Fanghe garrison, he was also promoted to three levels in a row, and became a military attache from the fifth rank, which is equivalent to the official position of the much older brother Junde. What surprised Huizhu the most was that Zhang Jia's letter praised Yinzhen many times, and it can be seen between the words that Junxian's promotion was Yinzhen's help behind the scenes.
If so, Huizhu wanted to find an opportunity to compensate Junxian, and she had asked Yinzhen to compensate for it, even better than what Zhang Jia's initial request was. This made Huizhu unconsciously, always remembering Su Xin's words that day, Yinzhen deliberately asked Hongli to return home to accompany her, and now she has promoted her maiden brother to show goodwill.
However, every time I thought of this, I was denied by Huizhu shaking her head, after all, since Hongli came back to the house, Yinzhen still did not set foot in her yard in the following days.
Subsequently, in October, Emperor Kangxi took the emperor's fourteenth son, Gushan Beizi Yunyu as the general of Fuyuan, and led a large army to aid Tibet. And Hongli was also sent back to the house by Emperor Kangxi in the same month.
