Chapter 42: Regret
"Tell the fifth brother and take care of your injuries." The eighth master said this, and he didn't say much, and left with Chen Guo.
Disfigurement is no different from disability for a prince.
The fifth elder brother grew up beside the Queen Mother since he was a child, and he was not very close to their brothers. Because he doesn't speak Chinese well, he is also a little talker in front of people.
But his mother is Concubine Yi, the youngest of the four concubines, and she is also very favored. So the fifth master naturally has his own thoughts.
He was not very good at reading, so he worked riding and shooting. Among the brothers, in addition to the eldest brother, his riding archery is also ranked first.
But now that I hurt my face, I'm afraid it's a big blow, so I don't want to see anyone.
The eighth master sighed in his heart, this matter has to be separated from him, and it is the same. Like Brother Qi, even if he has a foot disease, he is not trying to make himself like a normal person! No one wants to be looked at with sympathy.
In the palace, Kangxi didn't pay much attention to the report when he received it. Injuries on the battlefield are inevitable. Of course, it will be distressing, as long as it does not hurt my life.
The concubines of the harem are different. Concubine Hui, Concubine De, and Concubine Yi are all finding out the news through their own channels. Good news is good news, and what they are most concerned about is whether their son is injured.
Concubine Hui and Concubine De both breathed a sigh of relief, their son was safe, this was the biggest good news. When Concubine Yi heard that the fifth elder brother hurt his face, she immediately cried!
Although this son was taken away at birth, he was not close to her. But after all, it came out of his own belly, how could he not remember it in his heart. Fortunately, there was still a ninth elder brother next to her who thought of ways to coax her to be happy, and it got better.
Wei went around his house for an afternoon, and finally asked about the eighth master when he went to greet Concubine Hui the next morning.
"I know that my sister is anxious, and I am also worried about it! It's just that this militaristic event is not something that the women of our harem can participate in. My sister is patient and waits, I want to think of ideas and see if I can find out. As long as they are safe, we will be relieved. "What Concubine Hui said is sincere and reasonable.
"Then there is Lao Niangniang." Wei's face was grateful. She has a low status and has no connections in the palace, so if she wants to know the news, she can only come to ask Concubine Hui.
She thought in her heart that the eighth elder brother had been raised under Concubine Hui for several years, and for the sake of this situation, Concubine Hui should also tell one or two.
"We sisters don't need to say such kind words to each other." Concubine Hui smiled gently, "You put your heart in your stomach, and the eldest brother takes care of it, the eighth elder brother will definitely be fine." ”
"Well, that's what the mother said." Wei smiled and agreed. It's just that I still feel uneasy in my heart.
The mother of the child is worried, let alone going to the battlefield. It's a strange thing to be a mother! But I heard that the battle was won, which is good news.
When Wei left, the smile on Concubine Hui's face was gone, and her fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair again and again.
She won't tell the news of Wei's eighth brother, which makes her worry all the time! What can I do if I know it, but I just hide and cry silently, looking lovable!
Back then, she never imagined that Lord Banzai would put such a woman in her palace! The woman who came out of Xin's library can actually be favored by the Lord of Long Live! also gave birth to a prince under her nose! This is a thorn in her heart, a thorn that can never be pulled out!
What about raising eight elder brothers? Seeing his face similar to Wei's, she felt embarrassed! After a few days, let her worry enough, and then tell her the news of the eighth brother's injury, it is best to be vague, let her worry enough!
Wei didn't know what Concubine Hui was thinking, and was still waiting for Concubine Hui to find out the news.
More than half a month passed, and the Qing army failed to continue the pursuit to Galdan at Ulan Butong. This battle has been going on for several months, and Kangxi's side has already received a report from the household department, the treasury is tight, and the military supplies are out of supply.
So the eighth master and they received the will of the class master to return to the dynasty.
Everyone is unwilling. It's a pity that we couldn't completely eradicate Galdan this time! But the Holy Purpose is supreme, and it has to be obeyed.
At this time, the eighth master's injury was completely healed. The fifth master was left with an ugly scar on his face. He finally got to see someone, but he was also more silent. Sometimes I can't hear a word from him for a day. has a gloomy face all day long, and looks like no one is close.
The eighth master has the heart to enlighten, but looking at the appearance of the fifth master, the words can't be said again.
The so-called empathy, unless it is the same experience, is just a lie. At such times, any verbal comfort pales. So it's better to keep silent and accompany.
It's just that the atmosphere of this triumphant return is discounted. Let the uninformed see it, and think that this army has suffered a defeat!
By the time the army arrived in the capital, it was already dog days. Mao Tongtong was holding a small fan desperately fanning herself.
Summer in Beijing is much hotter than Yangzhou. Dog days without ice, that's simply not sleeping. Unlike in Yangzhou, there is no heat of the day at night, and you can sleep very comfortably with a little fan.
"Girl, let's get some more ice." Peach Blossom couldn't help but speak, and the fan in her hand didn't stop.
Uncle Chen's family can use ice, and it all depends on the Su family to take care of the Grange shop. Otherwise, with his four-grade official, he doesn't even have to think about it. But being able to use it does not mean that you can use as much as you want. So although Mao Tongtong felt hot, he didn't think about opening his mouth to ask Uncle Chen to use it more.
Hearing Peach Blossom speak, she shook her head and said, "Bear with it and it's over, don't look for trouble." ”
At home, she is a daughter, and this will come out, so you must have some self-knowledge. If you want to annoy others, you are still the one who is wronged.
"But Miss is afraid of heat, what if the heat goes wrong?" Peach Blossom worried.
Every summer is the saddest time for Mao Tongtong. It's about this problem that she has since recovered from her illness, and she is particularly afraid of heat. After seeing the doctor, he said that he was weak, but he had made up for it for three years, and he didn't see any effect.
Yangzhou City is cool, and Chen and Mao will find a way to get some ice on dog days for her, just so that she can sleep peacefully at night.
It can be seen that the dog days in the capital are really torture for her.
Mama Ai is a stern one. Even with the heat, her classes still don't stop! In her words, the more times like this, the more you can see the real kung fu. It's like the rhythm of summer practice and winter practice! Fortunately, the rest of the writing classes and embroidery classes were stopped, and I only let myself practice in the house.
But that's it, Mao Tongtong has also lost a lot of weight, and the face that was still some baby fat has also become a melon seed face.
When she and the Chen sisters went to watch the army return to the city, it was very useless and was directly squeezed to the ground by the crowd!
At that moment, she regretted it incomparably, why did she join in the fun? Isn't it just to look at the prince? It's not like she's never seen it!
