serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 490 April
  Spring is warm in April, and late spring is also the most spring-like time of the year. It is the best time to go out for an outing and enjoy the flowers.

After a spring rain, the foot of the West Mountain is already filled with flowers like clouds. It is brilliant and full of vitality, and a wide variety of wild flowers are blooming.

At the foot of the West Mountain, tents have sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

In front of a luxurious big tent like stars holding the moon, Jia Mu, accompanied by Aunt Xue, Mrs. Had fresh fruit snacks.

"Kick! Kick!"

Amidst the noise, Xiangyun kicked the ball out, and the ball accurately landed in the goal twenty steps away.

Xiangyun was startled at first, then became excited: "Oh! I kicked it in!"

Jia Jinxuan jumped up with excitement, and even Jia Song, Rong Shou, Qiao Jieer and her siblings, as well as several other princes and princesses, also looked excited.

Mrs.

Youshi smiled: "Wherever the imperial concubine is, it is filled with laughter and joy."

"These are the emperor's exact words." Youshi added.

Aunt Xue smiled at Jia Mu and said, "I heard from Concubine De that the emperor specifically told the empress to leave the concubine alone and let her do as she pleases. This shows the emperor's love for the concubine!"

Jia Mu smiled faintly.

"It's okay here! If we can stay a few more days, our ancestor's body will be able to recover faster."

At this time, Wang Xifeng came over from behind the tent with a bowl of medicine: "Just right, neither cold nor hot. My ancestors drank it quickly."

Jia Mu sat up straight, took the medicine and drank it in one breath.

Li Wan handed over a bowl of warm water and brought it to Jia Mu's mouth.

Jia Mu took a sip of warm water, rinsed her mouth and spit it into the bowl, then took the face towel from Yuanyang's hand and wiped her mouth.

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It's not that I speak for the emperor. Not to mention that Xishan is a bit far from the capital and it is inconvenient for various ministries to discuss matters. There is also a lot of pressure from the imperial censor. But when the emperor heard that the queen said that the old lady needed I rested my body and mind and moved here immediately. The emperor still respects the old lady."

Everyone nodded together.

"Is Concubine De's illness getting better?" Mother Jia suddenly looked into the distance and asked.

Aunt Xue: "Please bear in mind that there was news from the palace this morning. It's much better."

"That's fine."

Jia Mu nodded and looked into the distance.

Aunt Xue stopped talking and looked quietly into the distance. In the distance, Lin Daiyu was flying a kite with Hu Hue, Tanchun and Xichun.

Youshi looked at Jia Mu, then at Aunt Xue, and smiled secretly. Unknown to others, she was the person involved. As early as early March, Jia Hu decided to take Lin Daiyu to Xishan for an outing to enjoy flowers, camp and barbecue. Lin Daiyu's light.

After that incident, Jia Mu became ill. Fortunately, the marriage celebration cured Jia Baoyu's illness, and Jia Mu's illness improved. Five days ago, Jia Hu led everyone to the foot of the Western Mountain for an outing to relax.

Thinking of this, Youshi sighed in her heart. Good times are always short. She should go back in the afternoon. In two days it will be Jia Hu's birthday.

In the distance, Lin Daiyu and others looked up and saw that the kites were now in mid-air.

Zicuckoo smiled and said: "It's very powerful this time, please let me go."

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu padded her hands with a handkerchief and paused. Sure enough, the wind was strong. She took the big phoenix kite with soft wings and smiled at Xue Baoqin: "Flying kites is said to be unlucky. You should fly more." Just take away the root cause of your illness and you'll be fine. Come on, I'll put this away for you."

"no, I'm fine."

Xue Baoqin quickly waved his hand, "Everyone has it. The queen invites you first." With that, he took the kite from the maid's hand and started flying it.

Lin Daiyu smiled, Xue Baoqin was sick and heartbroken.

"The Queen Mother."

Xue Yan came over at this time and handed a pair of small silver scissors to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was about to cut her phoenix, when suddenly a beauty kite hit her and got entangled with the phoenix.

Everyone looked at it, but it was the kite of Baojun Princess Wang.

Princess Baojun panicked and knelt down: "The Queen! The Queen! I, my concubine, didn't do it on purpose."

Lin Daiyu looked at her with a smile: "Kite flying is just fun, don't scare yourself, get up." After saying that, she cut the string at the root, the kite fluttered, first broke away from the entanglement, and then moved back. I went there and disappeared with my eyes open.

Tan Chun and Xichun also released their phoenixes, followed by Amber, then Princess Baojun, Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan released them last, and there were rules everywhere.

Everyone looked at the kite with only a little black star left, and said with a smile: "Interesting, interesting."

Lin Daiyu said to Zijuan and others: "I'll go back in the afternoon. You guys can let it go too."

Zijuan and others responded happily, and took out their own kites and flew them.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horns, followed by the earth-shattering sound of horse hooves.

Everyone understood that Jia Hu, who went hunting in the mountains, was back.

Soon, Jia Hu, Jia Rong, Jia Baoyu and others rode their horses back slowly. The Imperial Guard followed closely behind carrying the prey.

After a while, the clearing was filled with small mountains of prey.

Jia Song, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and Wang Xifeng's precious son all made tut-tsk sounds.

Jia Hu dismounted and waved to Jia Jinxuan.

"Father!"

Jia Jinxuan ran over with a smile and looked at Jia Hu closely.

Jia Hu looked at her with a smile and took out a pair of live hares from his robe.

Jia Jinxuan's eyes lit up: "Little rabbit!"

Jia Hu: "Father will make roast rabbit for you later."

Jia Jinxuan shouted happily: "Okay, okay!"

Jia Hu handed the hare to the little fat man: "Skin it, wash it and bring it to you."

Little Fatty: "Yes."

Jia Mu had already walked over: "The emperor is back."

Jia Hu: "Old lady." Looking at Jia Baoyu, "Baoyu."

Jia Baoyu took out a few wild eggs from his robe and said with a smile: "The wild eggs will be boiled later to replenish the old lady's health."

Jia's mother looked at Jia Baoyu and was also very happy: "Okay, okay!"

Jia Hu continued: "The old lady is still ill, so be careful not to replenish your weakness. The old lady takes two, and you can make up for the rest by yourself." Then he said to Jia's mother, "The old lady sits down first, I'll go Change your clothes." After saying that, he smiled and nodded to Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing and Youshi, then turned and walked towards the luxurious tent.

Lin Daiyu ordered people to prepare lunch and then walked in.

In the back tent, Xueyan and Xiangling were busy changing Jia Hu's clothes.

Lin Daiyu: "You all go down and let me come."

Xue Yan and Xiang Ling agreed and led the palace maids and eunuchs out.

Jia Hu put on her shoes and said with a smile: "Just let Xueyan and the others do these jobs. Oh, my queen." He hurriedly greeted her. It turned out that Lin Daiyu came over with a basin of water.

Putting the water on the stool, Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "You are so pretentious! If I don't help you wash your face and change clothes, now I'm pretending to be a good person!"

Jia Hu smiled and sat down on a chair nearby.

Lin Daiyu took out the face towel from the basin, shook it out, and gently wiped Jia Hu's face slowly from her forehead to her face. I want to see you. I also want to see the royal families of the Central Asian countries to see their living environment and confirm whether they are being treated unfairly."

Jia Hu closed his eyes: "A bunch of double-standard dogs! The Rakshasa people wiped out the entire Golden Family when they annexed Siberia, and several kingdoms in Central Asia were wiped out. Not only did I feed them good food and drink, but I also let them keep some of their food. property"

After wiping her neck, Lin Daiyu continued: "The Rakshasa people are very honest and don't make any noise." As she said that, she couldn't help but laugh.

Jia Hu opened his eyes, looked at her bright and moving smiling face, took her into his arms, held her and sat on his lap. Seeing that her temples were a little loose, he used his hands to help her. Close up.

Lin Daiyu subconsciously glanced at the tent door and said hurriedly: "Let me go, people will see me soon."

Jia Hu hugged Lin Daiyu tightly: "No one is coming in. I want to tell you something."

Lin Daiyu listened and rested her head on his shoulder.

Jia Hu: "I want to build a palace here. From now on, we can come and stay for a while every spring and autumn. How about that?"

Lin Daiyu was startled, then shook her head slightly: "Not very good. Not to mention those imperial officials, even the common people will talk about it. In the previous dynasty for more than a hundred years, the Wu family did not dare to build a palace outside. If this spreads, If you get out, you will be a complete fool."

Jia Hu smiled: "You don't understand this. This is called stimulating domestic demand."

Lin Daiyu sat up straight and looked at Jia Hu.

Jia Hu held her in his arms: "This is just the beginning. Next, we will carry out infrastructure construction across the country, build official roads, and connect railways, so that the people can make money from the court, so that they can buy more goods, and ensure that Domestic economic stability.”

Lin Daiyu was so smart. She understood immediately and asked, "Are you planning to talk to the Xiyi people?"

Jia Hu: "What nonsense! Xiyi people are tigers, and tigers want to eat people. It's better to fight them early than to fight them late!"

Lin Daiyu was silent.

Jia Hu patted her back gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if the war starts, it will only happen in one or two years. We have plenty of time to prepare."

Lin Daiyu said "hmm".

At this time, Jia Jinxuan's voice came from behind the tent: "Father, the rabbit is skinned!"

Jia Hu smiled, "This girl"
