Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 275 Year End (Part [-])

Rizhao is more than 150 miles away from Yizhou Dynasty. Wang Lusheng came out at noon on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month and entered Yizhou City at noon on the [-]th.

After finding an inn and asking for a few rooms, Wang Lusheng sent his son Guo Quanyou to Daotai Mansion to send greetings, and he also called the innkeeper and told him to order the kitchen to prepare some food and wine.

After rewarding the buddy with a piece of silver and waving his hand to tell him to go out, Wang Lusheng's face fell, and he turned his head to look at the little boy sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, and snorted vigorously.

The young man was holding a handful of peanuts, peeled one and put it in his mouth. Seeing Wang Lusheng staring at him, he immediately stood up on his seat, walked behind him with a smirk, beat his shoulder vigorously, and said in his mouth, "Father, don't be upset." It’s not like you don’t know that my aunt is forcing me to embroider like a weight!” At this point, with a pitiful look on her face, she fiddled with a few fingers, stretched them out in front of Wang Lusheng’s eyes, and said: “ Look at my finger, it will rot in two days after pricking it!"

Such a gesture of a young girl, there is no shadow of a boy at all, she is obviously a little girl.She is none other than Wang Lusheng's eldest, Queen Jingjing.The little aunt she was talking about was her stepmother Wu Shi, and since she was her own aunt, she didn't change her words after entering the door.

Hearing her pitiful words, Wang Lusheng felt less angry in his heart, but his face was still dark, and he scolded: "Look at what you look like? Isn't your aunt still doing it for your own good? You're already twelve, why don't you do this?" so naughty!"

Although he has always been honest with his son, Wang Lusheng is quite doting on this daughter who looks like his dead wife.Even if she acted recklessly this time, pretending to be a servant and following the car, apart from being slightly annoyed, he was more worried that his daughter would be tired from the cold.

Seeing her reckless appearance now, Wang Lusheng glared at his daughter, and said, "Sit down honestly, tomorrow I will take you to find a tailor shop and change your outfit. Now that you are here, Dad will take you there for me." Master Cao, Grandma Cao, please be safe."

Wang Jingjing sat down obediently, rolled her eyes, and asked with a smile: "Father, the Cao's house you want to take me to, can you ask Brother Quanyou to send New Year's goods earlier? What kind of relative is it in our family? Why don't you know?"

Wang Lusheng said: "Silly girl, relatives may not be the only ones in this world. Some people, even if they are not relatives, should treat them well. Master Cao saved my father's life, otherwise my father would have passed away long ago!"

Listening to what her father said, Wang Jingjing nodded vigorously and said, "That's a good man. When my daughter sees her, kowtow to her benefactor!"

While the father and daughter were talking, the inn clerk had already brought the food and wine.

Because they wanted to wait for Guo Quan to come back, they didn't move their chopsticks, and sent a long follower to meet him outside the door.

After a while, Guo Quanyou came back, accompanied by Wu Mao, the steward of Daotai Mansion.Although Wang Lusheng's greeting card stated that he would come to the door the next day, Cao Yong knew that Wang Lusheng would not come to Yizhou on a temporary basis, and there might be something urgent.Because in the letter that came along with the annual ceremony a few days ago, Wang Lusheng still said that everything is fine.

Seeing that it was a young year and every household was busy, it was really abnormal for Wang Lusheng to come to Yizhou in person.

Wu Mao had met Wang Lusheng before, and after asking, he conveyed the meaning of his master: "Wang Qiye, my uncle said, since we're here, why do we need those courtesies? The mansion has already bought food and wine to welcome Qiye." , Lord Qi, please do me a favor! If it wasn't for the fact that my uncle is inconvenient to walk and go out of the house, and looks conspicuous, then I would come to meet Qi Ye in person!"

Wang Lusheng got up to listen, but he was quite surprised. He turned his head and asked Guo Quanyou, "What's the matter? Didn't you say a few days ago that you came to greet Master Cao? Master Cao looks fine and there is nothing serious. Come What the outside world said about recuperating may not be true? Is Master Cao..."

Guo Quanyou was also ignorant, and seemed to be looking to Wu Mao for help.Wu Mao hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't worry, Qiye, our lord is just a little inconvenient in his legs and feet. Last time all the brothers came, and our lord sat and talked, how could he see? Our lord is all right now. rest assured."

Where can Wang Lusheng rest assured?He gave Guo Quan a hard look, and hurriedly said to Wu Mao: "That's it, let's go quickly, I haven't seen Master Cao with my own eyes, I really have no idea!" Having said that, I want to go to the door, After taking two steps, he stopped abruptly, thought for a while, and asked, "Wu Guanshi, why did Master Cao hurt his leg?" Are those guys making trouble?"

Wu Mao was startled when he heard this.Not many people know about Cao Yong's attack in Mengyin. How could Wang Lusheng know about Mengyin when he was far away in Rizhao?
After Wang Lusheng asked, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and explained: "To be honest, Mrs. Du's family is Lao Qi's distant cousin, and the two families also have some contacts, so they vaguely know some news!"

Wu Mao suddenly realized that he thought that Wang Lusheng came to Yizhou because of this marriage.Although he knew that the Du family had already escorted Jinan Mansion, even his uncle might not be able to say anything, but he didn't say anything, he just asked Wang Lusheng to go to Daotai Mansion.

Wang Lusheng nodded. Just as he was about to go out, he heard someone beside him whisper, "Father, you forgot about me!"

Only then did he remember that his daughter was still there, Wang Lusheng looked at her dressed as a servant, wearing a coarse cloth jacket, she didn't look like a guest attire, so he said: "You wait here, daddy greets and speaks to Master Cao I'll come back." I was worried that she would stay here, so I told Guo Quanyi to stay too.

It was still Wu Mao who persuaded: "Qi Ye, even if Ling Qianjin is here, we should naturally go together. In the boundary of Yizhou, our uncle has a good relationship with only these few families, so why should Qi Ye see outsiders? If I let the uncle save for a while Come on, it’s unavoidable to send someone to pick it up again. Tossing and tossing are all vain rituals, let’s go together!"

After Wang Jingjing heard this, her smiling face already had a smile on it.Wang Lusheng said: "Since Manager Wu said so, you and father will go together to pay respects to Master Cao and Granny Cao, and you must not break the rules!"

Wang Jingjing happily responded, "Yes, I understand, father!"

Although he wants to bring his daughter with him, it is not good to let her look like a man and a woman. Wang Lusheng asked the innkeeper in detail, and he knew that there was a tailor shop nearby, so he took his daughter there first to change her makeup. .

The Yamen of Daotai Mansion, the inner house.

Zijing came to the room and asked where Xiaonian's reunion dinner was placed.Chu Yu was taking care of Wu'er, coaxing her to drink a few mouthfuls of sesame paste, seeing that she was struggling to eat, fearing that she would be starved, she had to take off her skirt again, and nursed her a few mouthfuls.

These days, the Liu family's grandmother was blessed by God, because Chu Yu was frightened and had no milk a few days ago.

Zijing saw that she was almost recuperated now, but she still wanted to bring Wu'er, fearing that she would not be able to breastfeed, so she asked: "Princess, do you want to ask someone to find another woman for Miss Wu, if this continues, it's not an option!"

Chu Yu sighed, with some hesitation on his face, and didn't respond immediately.

Seeing that Wu'er ate almost everything, Chuyu put her on the kang, and stretched out his hands to fiddle with the skirt, but Wu'er held her tightly by the sleeves.Seeing Wu'er wearing a flowered jacket, sitting on the kang, looking very cute, Chu Yu smiled and said, "Wu'er, are you still full? After a while, let's drink half a bowl of glutinous rice with my sister-in-law?"

Wu'er was nearly two years old, and had already started to learn to speak. Seeing Chuyu smiling, she let go of her little hand, grinned, followed by a "giggle" laugh twice, and then called out, "Mom!"

At first, Chu Yu didn't really listen, she just thought it was her calling "momo". After finishing the skirt, she patted Wu'er's head and said with a smile, "Wu'er is good, you're full, why don't you feel better? Or let Xiyun carry you to Westinghouse to find your nephew?"

Wu'er stretched out two small hands and hugged Chuyu's arm, calling "Mom" and "Mom" non-stop.

After Chuyu and Zijing heard this, they looked at each other, thinking of Wu'er's pitiful life experience, they both felt sad.

Chu Yu stretched out her hand, and hugged Wu'er back into her arms, and said to Zijing: "Sister Zijing, although some children are late in breastfeeding, they are not as strong as those who eat. Although Wu'er is struggling to eat now, but eat well. Look, I'm willing to eat some more. You don't need to look for her, I'll take her for a while!"

After saying that, Chu Yu's face inadvertently revealed some sentimentality.Zijing only thought she was feeling sorry for Wu'er, and explained: "The Princess don't need to be sad, with the uncle and the Princess taking care of her, Miss Wu will be blessed in the future!"

Chu Yu nodded with a smile, touched Wu'er's small face, and said, "Although she is a sister-in-law, she is much older than Tianyou. An unweaned baby is only treated as a daughter!"

Seeing that she didn't mention Tianyou, Zijing was puzzled, and asked: "Then the young master, isn't the princess taking it by himself?"

No wonder she was puzzled, as early as when Tianyou was born, Chuyu said she wanted to breastfeed the child herself, Mammy Ye and the others tried to persuade her many times, but in the end she didn't change her mind.Now it is like this, but why?

Chu Yu smiled wryly and said, "Sister Zijing doesn't know, since his wife went back to the south, her forehead often looks at Tianyou in a daze. Although he didn't mention it, I can also see his intentions, as if he wants to send Tianyou to The master and wife in the south are here!"

Cao Yong is filial, Zijing also knows it, if she is afraid that her parents will be lonely, it is not uncommon to send her son back.However, she also watched Tianyou's birth, pained to the bone, and compared her heart to her heart, she naturally knew that the princess's reluctance was much better than her own.

However, Zijing thought that the uncle has always been considerate, so she should not be cruel enough to separate the princess from Xiao Tianyou.Therefore, he opened his mouth to comfort and said: "The princess is relieved, the uncle has always cherished the princess, even if this thought occasionally occurs, it may not be the case!"

Chu Yu nodded, and said: "I know that my son-in-law is soft-hearted, but I have thought about it these days! My son-in-law is the only child in the family, and the master and wife are getting old. My filial piety. Now that I am far away in Shandong, I can't be in front of the elders, not to mention my forehead is worried, even I feel very uneasy. Sending Tianyou back to be at the knees of Mrs. Cheng Huan is a proper way!"

Horqin Grassland, Kezuohou Banner, the mansion of Nuomen Erhetu, King of Duoluo County.

"Brother, try this." Dorogge Baoya is in complete Mongolian attire, and the wide Mongolian robe can hardly conceal her protruding belly. She is already a woman and will be a mother, and she still smiles like a happy child. Looking at all kinds of food on the grassland, he pushed towards his brother Na Ersu.

Naersu heard that his younger sister was pregnant, so he specially invited his followers to visit her in Rehe. Although her face is not as fair as before, she looks healthier than before.

I don't know if it's because of her body, but Baoya looks a little fatter than before, but her temperament is still the same as before, her speech is crisp and fast, mixed with refreshing laughter, which makes Naersu feel relieved.

He picked a piece of milk tofu and threw it into his mouth, looked at the girl with a smile, and asked, "You look good, how are you doing?"

Bao Ya nodded her head vigorously, and said with a cheerful smile: "Brother, the grassland is very different from Beijing. There are a lot of sparrows here, and many of them are no worse than those in the bird market in Jingli. The feathers are very bright. Yes! I don’t know why I didn’t see it when I came to the grassland with my followers, but now I see the sky, it’s so lively! ... Also, I followed the hunting before, so I saw Sukhbaru tell me It’s the kind of fox cover! It can cover a whole fox! Unlike our previous hunting, no matter how good the shot is, it can leave holes. None left!"

She spoke with a look of regret suddenly, and said: "It's a pity that foxes with good fur are so smart that they become fine, and they can't be put on. I tried a few times, but they were all with bad fur. I thought about leaving a pure snow color or pure red wind collar for my sister-in-law, but I never came across it."

Naersu laughed and said, "Your sister-in-law still lacks wind collars? If you have such a heart, she will be very kind. But you are tall, so you should prepare more woolen clothes. It is the time when you are most afraid of the cold."

Baoya smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, Baoya will save it!"

Neersu has always loved this girl the most. Since she got married, thinking about the bitter cold in Mongolia made her feel unhappy. Seeing that her life seems to be more comfortable than before, it comforts her a lot.He paused, and wanted to ask how the forehead treats the younger sister, but after all, it is the elder brother, and he didn't bring a female relative over, so it's not good to ask the younger sister directly.

After thinking about it for a while, he only said to his sister: "If you are always happy like this, brother will feel at ease. If there is any bump in the future, just write back, our Gege cannot be bullied by others." go."

Baoya knew that her brother loved her, her eyes were slightly red when she heard the words, and she forced a smile and said, "Baoya is not a child either, just don't worry, brother. Baoya... Baoya is not just being bullied by others." Divert the topic and ask about the people in Beijing.

Neersu remembered that his younger sister was also violent in the past, so he relieved himself, and turned to tell everyone about the situation that his younger sister asked, because he thought that he would go to Rehe Palace and return to Beijing with Sheng Jia, so there should be no delay , Talked to my sister for a while, then got up to leave.

Bao Ya wanted to send her elder brother out, but Na Ersu hurriedly pushed her down, and said, "You are heavy, and it is windy and cold outside, you should stay still in the room, and you are not a guest!"

Bao Ya couldn't compete with him, so she had to stay in the house, but after her brother left, she stood at the door and stared blankly at the direction where her brother's figure disappeared.

Lingque, the personal maid who came over as a dowry, saw her and hurriedly persuaded her: "Why bother, Gege, it's not as good as..."

"Stop talking." Bao Ya interrupted her with a downcast face, wiped away her tears, and said calmly: "Go get some hot water, I want to wash my face."

Lingque bit his lip, said nothing, and went down to fetch water in response.

Ne Ersu and his party walked out, and when they were about to reach the door, they saw a fast horse galloping outside, a young servant turned over, panting and preached inside: "Prince Fujin is back!"

The housekeeper who accompanied Neersu was taken aback, then hurriedly smiled and said to Neersu: "My lord, my lord is back, you..."

Naersu smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, I should see it."

While talking, a dozen or so riders came over and stopped at the door, guarding a carriage. The leading black horse was Nuomen Erhetu, Prince Heshuo's son-in-law, and there was a little boy in front of him.

Nuomen Erhetu didn't pay attention to the door, got off the horse, hugged his son down again, looked at his little face flushed from the cold, and said with a smile, "Is it cold? Can't you ride the horse next time?"

The boy covered his face with his hands to keep warm, and said loudly, "It's cold! But my father also said that we Mongolian men must ride horses!"

Nuomen Erhetu smiled and said, "Okay! Well said! This is my good son!"

The curtain of the carriage over there was raised, and the servant girl first carried down a little girl carved in powder and jade, followed by a beautiful Mongolian woman. Nuomen Erhetu hurriedly put down her son, walked over quickly, and supported the woman, Said: "Slow down." Seeing that the hood of the woman's cloak was blown off by the wind, he put it on for her and closed it carefully.

The woman blushed and said shyly, "My lord..."

Nuomen Erhetu laughed, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of at the door of my house?"

While talking, a young servant hurried over and said in a low voice: "My lord, King Pingjun in Beijing has come to see our family Fujin, and now..."

Nuomen Erhetu turned his head when he heard the words, and saw Naersu looking at the family with a livid face inside the gate.
