Chapter 678: Walking (I)
Chapter 678: Walking (I)
"Sow a hundred grains, both court and fruit." Xu Lingyi put down the brush in his hand, looked at the wild grass dancing on the rice paper with satisfaction, and looked up with a smile and asked the eleven niang beside him, "It's called 'court', what do you think?" ”
The courtyard is here, which means straight and straight. Add the word "Shuo" at the back, which implies the meaning of "more".
"Okay!" Eleven Niang nodded slightly: "This name is good!" ”
On September 26, Jiang successfully gave birth to his eldest son.
Xu Lingyi is choosing a name for him.
Xu Lingyi listened, took a piece of rice paper again, wrote the word "court" in Lishu in a dignified manner, and called the lantern flower in: "Send it to the fourth young master!" ”
Because the Jiang family gave birth to the eldest grandson, the people up and down the house were rewarded. Everyone is happy!
Denghua smiled and responded "yes", and hurriedly went to Xu Sizhen.
Xu Lingyi discussed things with Shi Niang: "When Brother Ting'er's baptism is over, I am going to go out." ”
Eleven Niang was stunned: "Don't you wait for Brother Ting'er's full moon ceremony?" ”
"No waiting!" Xu Lingyi said, "It's too late to wait for his full moon ceremony." ”
"Where is Master Hou going?"
"Take the road from Xuantong to Jiayuguan."
Jiayuguan is a military place, and Xu Lingyi has visited this kind of place when he goes out these times. Based on Xu Lingyi's experience, he will go to these places where he fought when he was young and brought him glory, and relive the high-spirited years of the year, Shi Niang can understand it very well.
"Master Hou, be careful." She advised, "Bring more guards and followers." It's very remote over there, and if something happens, it's going to be a problem. ”
"It's fine." Xu Lingyi smiled, "I will take the post road and live in the post station like last time." As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I think, this time, I will also let Brother Jin go with me." He added, "There aren't too many opportunities like this, let him see and see." ”
In ancient times, the transportation was not as developed as in modern times, and it was not easy to go out, and some people did not go out of the radius of living for ten miles. There aren't many opportunities like this.
Eleven Niang naturally agreed.
Xu Lingyi instructed her: "In the days when we are not at home, you and Manager Bai have discussed sorting out the Qingyinju in the outer courtyard, adding what needs to be added, and rebuilding what needs to be rebuilt." After the New Year, I will move his things over. ”
In this way, Brother Jin really became independent from her arms.
Eleven Niang felt uncomfortable thinking about it.
Thinking that Xu Sijian had a rash back then, the third lady kept him for an extra year, and Eleven Niang still felt that the third lady was too spoiled to the child, and it was her turn, so she understood the third lady's mood.
"I see."
Qingyinju is a relatively large courtyard in the outer courtyard, with four entrances and three exits. The west waist of Fuxi is only a twenty-something distance away from it, and it is easy to get in and out.
In the afternoon, Eleven Niang took Amber to see the yard.
The wooden windows of the yard are all very good, but they are sloppy cleaned, dusty everywhere, and no one has lived in them for a long time, some empty and even a little desolate.
"Let's plant some flowers and trees first, shall we?" Amber smiled, "That way, the yard will be lively tomorrow when spring begins." The house came to life. ”
"You're still afraid that he won't be lively when he moves in!" Eleven Niang smiled, "Don't say anything else, just his birds and dogs, I'm afraid that this yard can't live." ”
Amber smiled as she heard this.
Mrs. Tai knew but frowned: "I won't wait for Brother Ting'er's full moon ceremony to leave...... Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, it is better to go after the New Year! ”
Now, Mrs. Tai's greatest pleasure is to go to see her great-grandson Ting'er.
"It's only interesting to go to Jiayuguan in winter," Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "When it comes to spring, it won't be interesting." ”
Seeing that her son insisted, Mrs. Tai did not say anything more.
The fifth lady was in a commotion.
"I'm going too. I'm going too. Brother Xu'er followed her mother's side, "Brother Jin has been going with me several times, and I haven't gone out once." ”
The fifth lady is busy saying goodbye to Sister Xin these days, that is, Brother Cheng, and she hasn't held it in her arms for some days to tell her literacy.
"Mother Shi, pull the Seventh Young Master out." She's in a hurry.
Xu Lingkuan felt that his daughter was still young, but the fifth lady was afraid of delay. The two of them had some disagreements about this matter, and none of them were very satisfied. Either the family is not rich enough, or the mother-in-law is too young, or the male protagonist is not good-looking...... She was thinking about whether to ask Eleven Niang to help inquire, one more person, one more road!
Brother Xu'er hugged the table and didn't leave: "I'm going, I'm going...... If you don't agree, I'll tell my grandfather to go. ”
The fifth lady had a headache: "Your fourth uncle is going to Jiayuguan, not to Jiangnan." In addition to the wind and sand in that place, there are many Hu people. Beware of being robbed and sold. ”
Brother Xu'er was unmoved: "Brother Jin'er will go, and I will go too." ”
"Your fourth uncle is already struggling to bring Brother Jin, and there is no way to bring another one."
"I'll just bring my grandfather's guards with me."
The mother and son were talking with red faces and red ears, and Xu Lingkuan came back.
"Fourth brother is going to Jiayuguan!" He was very excited, even more excited than Brother Xu, "I wanted to go back then." Mother didn't let it, didn't do it! As he spoke, he picked up Brother Xu'er, "Let's go, go and talk to your fourth uncle, let's go together!" ”
Brother Xu'er screamed and jumped.
The fifth lady didn't care anymore - with her husband following, what else was there to worry about.
Mrs. Tai personally chose an auspicious day, and the two brothers took Brother Jin and Brother Shu out of Yanjing City.
Xu Sizhen is in charge of the general affairs of the outer courtyard. Eleven Niang was busy decorating the house for Brother Jin'er, participating in the banquet of the Wanshou Festival, sending New Year's gifts, and buying New Year's goods. The fifth lady was busy looking for Sister Xin's in-laws. Mrs. Tai smiled every day to see Brother Ting'er, and sometimes she left Yingying, who went to greet her old man, to play for a long time. The days were fast approaching December.
Xu Lingkuan and Brother Xu'er are back. I didn't see Xu Lingyi and Brother Jin.
"Fan Weigang left the fourth brother in Xuantong." Xu Lingkuan said abruptly, "I still have an errand, so I'll come back with Brother Xu'er first." ”
"They're not going home for the New Year?" Eleven Niang was very surprised.
"Looks like it's not going back." Xu Lingkuan smiled embarrassedly at Eleven Niang.
"This fourth, Brother Ting'er's full moon ceremony and 100-day ceremony are not at home, and they are still celebrating the New Year outside." Mrs. Tai was a little displeased, "Why don't you persuade your fourth brother." ”
"I persuaded you!" Xu Lingyi shouted that he was wronged, "How could my fourth brother listen to me!" ”
Mrs. Tai didn't say anything anymore, and called Xu Sichen in: "The affairs of the family are all counting on you." "If you don't understand, ask your mother." ”
Xu Si respectfully responded "yes", feeling that the responsibility is heavy, but he suffers from gains and losses, and he has to ask Eleven Niang about a very small matter, for fear of making a mistake. Eleven Niang wanted to be on King Yong's side, so she took advantage of Xu Sichen to come over to ask her, and called Mr. Bai in: "It's almost the New Year, what special explanation does the Hou Ye have to do when he leaves?" ”
"Nope!" Manager Bai was also worried about this matter, "Everyone else is easy to say, but I don't know what to give for the New Year's gift in Yongwang's Mansion!" ”
Eleven Niang's eyes fell on Xu Sizhen's body.
Xu Sichen knew about King Yong's borrowing money, thought about it, and said, "Otherwise, let's quietly send some silver tickets." ”
Eleven Niang nodded slightly. Asked Mr. Bai: "You can help me prepare a silver ticket of two thousand taels of silver." ”
Mr. Bai understood, "I'll go and prepare." ”
Shi Niang said to Xu Si implicitly: "When I go to send a New Year's gift to King Yong's Mansion, I will bring it to Princess Yong." ”
Xu Si's jaw is full. When I went back in the evening, I whispered to Jiang.
The child was fed to the nurse, and the Jiang family's figure that had been given birth had recovered, and he was a little worried when he heard it: "Since my father-in-law didn't explain when he left, will we get too close to Yongwangfu?" What if you want to be affected by King Yong? ”
"No, it won't, right?" Xu Sizhen has never thought about this problem, and feels that since everyone is a relative, they have to take care of each other. There was no shortage of money at home, and the things were given by his mother on his own initiative, and he never felt that there was anything wrong with it. But then he thought that if Jiang hadn't persuaded him a few days ago, he wouldn't have been forgiven by his father so quickly, and he felt that his wife's words also had some truth. I can't help but hesitate.
Jiang said this, seeing that Xu Sizhen was a little undecided, she thought about it carefully.
If King Yong is honestly his prince and the crown prince ascends the throne, he will naturally be the first noble person. The relationship with him is good, there are only benefits and no harms. But if King Yong has any thoughts......
What's more, the father-in-law who sent the silver to the Yongwang Mansion did not have a special explanation before.
Jiang Shi felt scared when he thought about it: "Don't worry. I wrote a letter to my father to see what he had to say. She helped Xu Si come up with ideas.
Xu Sizhen nodded.
A few days later, Jiang Bai's wife sent a maid to talk to herself in the inner room under the pretext of coming to see the child.
"Your father and your uncle mean the same thing. Let you stay away from the one in the palace and the one outside the palace. The emperor is in his prime, and the days are still long. What to do at this time is obviously not appropriate. ”
Jiang Shi said this to Xu Sizhen and asked him to pass the word to Shi Niang: "Mother is in the inner courtyard, father is not at home, things in the temple are changing rapidly, it is better to be careful." ”
"Hou Ye and Yong Wang Ye are uncles and nephews, if something like this happens, don't ask for it, since you ask for it, your father has found a way to repay the debt, seeing that it is the end of the year, why do we have to go on a trip." We could not take out much silver, and we could save this or two thousand taels of silver from anywhere. Even if the emperor knew about it, he wouldn't say anything! ”
It makes sense for Xu Sizhen to think about it. I went back and told Jiang.
Jiang smiled bitterly: "The prince is there, do you want to go too?" I heard that the crown princess and her mother-in-law had a very good personal relationship. Now that something like this has happened, why should I tell the crown princess! ”
Xu Si reminded Eleven Niang euphemistically.
Eleven Niang smiled: "I have already been to the crown princess." ”
Privately said to Amber: "The Jiang family has put a lot of thought into the Jiang family. ”
Amber didn't dare to discuss, and talked about Yu Hang's letter: "Miss Dabiao will set off for the Lantern Festival, and it will be there at the end of February." You see, Miss Big Cousin is here, where do you stay? ”
