Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 151 Back to the Door
The third day after marriage is the day when the bride returns home.According to the rule, "I don't see my in-law's tile when I go back home", the natal family has to send someone out early, and the new aunt must be taken out of the in-law's house before dawn.

The day when Chu Yu returned home was December 28. Fortunately, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month. Basically, the sunrise would not be until around the first quarter of the day (06:30 in the morning). Therefore, the pick-up time notified by Chunjun Palace was Maozheng. At the second quarter ([-]:[-]), the young couple don't have to get up so early.But the two still got up at Yinzheng (five o'clock).

After grooming, Xiyun and Xicai were brought up to eat, both of them are Chuyu's dowry maids.Chu Yu only drank a bowl of ketchup and ate two pieces of pastry before putting down her chopsticks.

Cao Yong looked at it and persuaded him: "I'm afraid it will be like yesterday again. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat until after noon. If you go directly to the palace, it will be over! You should eat more now." Let’s have some, there will be nothing to cushion by then.”

Chu Yu obediently picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, then put down the chopsticks: "It's really good." Seeing Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, she felt a little embarrassed, so she picked up the chopsticks again, After eating two mouthfuls of food, he looked at Cao Yong again, his eyes seemed to say, "I really can't eat anymore."

Cao Yong didn't force her any more, and after finishing the rice in the bowl, he asked someone to remove the kang table.Seeing no one in the room, Cao Yong asked her: "But you want to go home?"

Chu Yu was stunned, and subconsciously said: "No, I didn't think about it..." As he spoke, he carefully looked at Cao Yong's face, and seeing that he was not angry, he nodded slightly, and murmured: "...I miss my mother a little bit. .”

Cao Yong felt distressed: "I'll see you later. Let's come back later, you can talk to your mother for a while."

Chu Yu's eyes were red, and she nodded heavily.

Cao Yong was afraid that she would be sentimental, so he teased her and said something else: "I don't know which brother of yours is here to invite me to have home wine today."

According to the rules, the groom's brother-in-law is required to pick up his brother-in-law for home wine. The three elder brothers Hongshu, Hongzhuo, and Hongxin of Chunjun Prince's Mansion are all of the same mother as Chuyu. A brother, that's why Cao Yong asked her to make her happy.

As expected, Chu Yu couldn't help laughing, and pretended to be angry: "Who else? Hong Zhuo and Hong Xin are only a little older, how can we let them come out? It must be Hong Shu's."

When the carriage from Chunjun Prince's Mansion came, it was indeed the elder brother Hongshu who followed.He is one year younger than Chuyu, and he has seen Cao Yong in the upper study room, but he hasn't spoken much.In Cao Yong's impression, among the three brothers Hong Zhuo and Hong Xin, only Hong Xin, the youngest, has a more tempered temper, and the other two are very quiet teenagers.

Hong Shu came up to greet Cao Yong in a regular manner, received the wedding letter, and then invited his sister to get on the bus at the second gate.Seeing her sister, Hong Shu was obviously not so restrained, and came to accompany her sister to the carriage, chatting and laughing with her quietly.

At this moment, Chu Yu no longer behaves like a little girl, and her words and deeds are quite like a elder sister.

Cao Yong looked at the dignified appearance of the little wife from a distance, and couldn't help smiling. When the two came close, Hong Shu respectfully invited his sister and brother-in-law to get on the car according to the rules.Cao Yong and the two got into the carriage together.

When they arrived at Chunjun Prince's Mansion, Cao Yong and Chu Yu followed the rules and worshiped the gods and Buddhas in the family hall, as well as the family tablets of three generations in the ancestral hall.

Because at the end of the year, all the government affairs are busy, and no prince elder brother came to watch the ceremony on this day, Cao Yong and Chu Yu saved a lot of trouble and did not perform a lot of rituals.It's just that there are red envelopes to get when you kowtow, and there are no "uncles" from the princes, which saves trouble, but there are also fewer red envelopes.

Among the relatives and elders of the woman's family, only Di Fujin's father and a few natal brothers, who can be regarded as Cao Yong and Chu Yu's grandfather and uncle, can receive gifts, but where is the rank, they can only accept salutes, not Kowtow.

There are no juniors of Cao Yong and Chu Yu in Chunjun Prince's Mansion, only younger brothers and sisters of the same generation, three elder brothers and three Ge Ge, the youngest Ge Ge is still in his infancy, so the money given out is also limited.

They received more and gave less. After a meeting, the young couple also received two thousand taels of silver, which was a small fortune.

According to the rules, the bride's family hosted a banquet to treat the new aunts and grandparents, but because Cao Yong and Chu Yu had to go to the palace to pay respects to Kangxi and the Queen Mother, the banquet was postponed.King Chunjun asked them to advance to the palace to pay their respects, and then return to the palace for a banquet.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu got into the car and went to the palace.Because several Mongolian princes from foreign domains came to court and asked Kangxi to meet them, so Kangxi only took time to meet the young couple, said a few ordinary words, and let them go to see the queen mother.

Cheng Concubine, the birth mother of the King of Chunjun, was also with the Queen Mother. She was a very quiet person, and she only received the worship of the couple.On the contrary, the Empress Dowager was very happy to see Cao Yong and Chu Yu, a pair of sons and sisters, and asked for a long time. After kowtowing, she had already received a wedding seal, but when she left, she also received a few decorations and jewelry.

After coming out of the palace, it was already past noon, but Chu Yu was a little hungry, thinking about what Cao Yong told her to eat more in the morning, she was a little embarrassed to say it now.I thought in my heart that I was about to go to my mother's house, so it's okay to have a feast for a while.

Seeing that she looked a little tired, Cao Yong asked, "Tired? Why don't you rely on me to rest, and go to sleep when you get home."

Chu Yu bit her lower lip and shook her head. Only then did Cao Yong see her hands covering her chest, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Chu Yu blushed, and said in a low voice, "No... just... a little hungry..."

Cao Yong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, seeing that she was very stable and dignified in answering in front of people, but now she was somewhat childish: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" As he spoke, he turned sideways and took out a fruit box from the hidden compartment on one side, and opened it. There were sweet and salty snacks in it, and she took out a small purple sand teapot and handed it to her: "Zijing is worried that we will be hungry, so I asked someone to prepare some snacks. Eat some as a cushion." , even if you arrive at the palace, it will take a while to leave the banquet!"

Chu Yu took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and ate it slowly, feeling very grateful to Zijing.

Cao Yong and his wife returned to Chunjun Wangfu, and the Wangfu began to arrange banquets.According to the rules, the bridegroom was the first seat at the male family table, and the new aunt was the chief seat at the female family table. Although Cao Yong and Chu Yu knew the rules, they gave way and were finally called to take the upper seat.

Because of the rules, the new house cannot be vacant during this month, so the bride and groom cannot spend the night at their mother's house, so the dinner was not procrastinated, everyone just had a few drinks and then dispersed.

Chu Yu was called into the inner courtyard by Fujin to talk, and Cao Yong was invited into Chunjun Wang's study.

After sitting down, the tea was served. King Chunjun took a sip of the tea and asked, "I haven't had time to ask you how you are doing in the Ministry of Households. I think no one will make things difficult for you. If so, I'm afraid it will be Shi Shilun!"

Cao Yong replied: "I am almost familiar with the errands. My colleagues are very caring. Although Shi Shilang is a bit strict, he is clear about everything."

King Chun Jun nodded: "I have heard people praise you a few times, but they are afraid of flattery. It's not true. Shi Shilun is not a good match. If he doesn't make things difficult for you, you must have done a good job. "

Cao Yong said with a smile: "It's just that I have finished my duties. Shi Shilang will not come to find fault."

King Chunjun smiled and said, "You don't have to be humble here." He paused, motioned all the eunuchs in the room to retreat, and then asked, "Is there any clue about your family's deficit in the household department?"

Cao Yong hesitated for a moment, but nodded his head: "Father-in-law Lao is worried about it, and my father is trying his best to raise money!"

The king of Chunjun said: "The Sacred Heart is still there. I can tell you to go to the Ministry of Households. I think it will be all right." Listen up."

Cao Yong couldn't figure out the meaning of Chunjun Wang's words for a while, so he just nodded first.

King Chunjun glanced at him, and then said after a long while: "I'm afraid I will have to investigate and investigate the matter of Jiangnan Governor Gali and Governor Zhang Boxing in the next year, because there is also an account of your family, and it is not reasonable to ask you to investigate. But you also You have to know it well, it doesn’t mean that Wan Sui is happy for a while, so I will send you this errand. You should pay more attention now, it is always right!”

Cao Yong's heart moved, and he guessed that the impeachment of Gali and Zhang Boxing had come to the imperial court again, but he didn't know that Junjun Chun was just reminding himself, or he had some rumors, suggesting that this would happen to him.

Seeing that nothing came out of Junjun Wang's face, Cao Yong respectfully agreed, thinking that he would have to discuss the countermeasures with Mr. Zhuang when he went back.

Chunjun Wang saw Cao Yong's serious face, nodded, and then talked about some relaxed topics without mentioning officialdom.

In Liuhuayuan, after Chu Yu greeted Chun Wang Fujin, she was dragged onto the kang and sat down by her.

Chunwang Fujin asked her with a smile: "According to the rules, are you satisfied with this marriage?"

Chu Yu blushed and nodded, and said in a low voice, "My son-in-law is very nice, and my family treats me well."

Chunwang Fujin said with a smile: "Since you said that, we can rest assured. It is a good match from heaven. I have already said those things to you, so I won't say any more, so as not to be verbose, but there is something I still have to say. I have become a wife of another family, and when I go out to do things, I bring the decency of the two families, some things need to be thought twice before doing something, and I have to save face for each other in everything I do, so that we can be harmonious and beautiful, and we will be a prosperous family."

Chu Yu was raised by her aunt since she was a child, so she understood these words very well, so she nodded in agreement immediately.

Chun Wang Fujin asked about food and daily life in Cao's house, and Chu Yu answered them one by one.In the end, King Chun Fujin glanced at Chuyu's biological mother, Fang Fujin Nalashi, and said with a smile, "I don't have anything to say, you two, go back to your room and talk about it!"

Nalashi thanked Fujin with a smile, and took his daughter to his yard.

The Nala family is the most favored side Fujin by the King of Chunjun. She gave birth to three sons and two daughters for the King of Chunjun. The three elder brothers of the current Chunjun Palace are all born of her.Chu Yu is the first child of the Nala family and the first child of the Chunjun Prince's Mansion, and has always been regarded as the apple of the eye by the Chunjun Prince and her.Although Chuyu was brought up by Fujin's side, because of Fujin's knowledge and King Chunjun's preference, Chuyu often stayed with Nala's family, so the relationship between mother and daughter was very close.

When Nalashi came into the room, he took his daughter to look up and down, but he couldn't get enough of it.

Chu Yu couldn't help holding her mother's hand, and said with a smile, "Er Niang, my daughter has only been gone for three days!"

However, Nalashi's eyes were wet, he took his daughter into his arms, and stroked her hair as he did when he was a child: "Although it's only been three days, my Chuyu is someone else's daughter-in-law, Erniang is very happy and happy again." sad……"

Chu Yu's eyes were also red, and she said in a muffled voice, "My daughter misses my mother too!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other for a while, Nalashi hurriedly pulled her daughter up, wiped her tears, and said: "Look at me on a happy day, I made you cry."

After a pause, she continued: "I heard that what you reported to Fujin just now was all happiness, but Er Niang wanted to ask you, but it's so kind? Er Niang is from experience, so she knows that it's not easy to be a daughter-in-law. If you have any questions Don't feel wronged, just talk to Er Niang, and your heart will open up when you say it!"

Chu Yu laughed and said, "I never reported good news or bad news, he...he really treated me very well. Don't worry, Er Niang!"

Nalashi let out a long breath: "If this is the case, then I can rest assured. Amitabha, it is really a good match!"

Chu Yu blushed and hid in her mother's arms.Nalashi stroked her hair with a smile, then asked about how she got along with the Cao family, the housekeeper, etc., and talked with Chuyu for a long time.

It wasn't until a maid came to report that Princess Shichen had returned to the mansion, so Nala let go of her daughter, hurriedly asked the maid to bring water to wash her face, and asked her to put on rouge. After tidying up, she took her to the Di Fujin's side.

Chu Yu bowed to Fujin, and was sent to the second gate by Fujin.

Over there, Cao Yong was already waiting outside the second gate with his car. After saying goodbye to the hatchback, Cao Yong took Chuyu and got into the carriage.

Nalashi was reluctant, and looked at the carriage eagerly, and then Fujin turned back to the courtyard, so she didn't want to stay any longer, and took another look at her daughter's carriage, then turned around and followed Fujin in.

Chu Yu was also reluctant to part with it, and wanted to lift the curtain several times to look back.But because of Cao Yong's presence, he was afraid that he would be unhappy if he fell in love with his family, so he held back by force, clutching the skirt of his clothes tightly with his little hands.

When Cao Yong saw her, she was only thinking about her, and she comforted her with gentle words: "Only this month, there are more regulations. After this month, you can go back anytime you want. When the time comes, you will miss your mother, just go back and see her." Bear with it for a month, huh?"

Chu Yu's heart was sour and sweet, and she gave a soft "hmm".
