Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 294 Visiting the Golden Gate and Returning to the Province

The next day after your Majesty's meeting, Hongshu brought people over to pick up his sister and nephew back to the province.Because Cao Yin and his wife were in Beijing, although Hong Shu had a distinguished status, he was a junior after all, so he still made a special trip to see her.

He is the emperor's grandson, how can Cao Yin and his wife accept his gift?She avoided it anyway, said greetings to the prince and Fujin, and said a few polite words.

Hong Shu was already seventeen, he stopped doing homework in the study, and followed his father as an errand in the Ministry of Rites.Today, the king of Chunjun went to Changchun Garden again, leaving his son in the city and taking his eldest daughter's family back to the province.

Cao Yin was going to visit his friends, and on Li's side, Prince Pingjun Fujin also sent someone to pick him up.Mrs. Li wanted to take Wu'er to the palace, but Wu'er followed Chu Yu and refused to move.In the end, it was Chuyu who led her back to her natal home.

He helped Chuyu get into the carriage, Cao Yong got on the horse, and walked side by side with Hongshu.

Hongshu got married last year, and he married Borzigit, the daughter of the Mongolian servant, who got married in the twelfth lunar month of last year.Because it is the same mother and younger brother of Chuyu, and it is the first time to marry a daughter-in-law in the palace, Cao Yong and Chuyu specially sent many congratulatory gifts.

When Hongshu saw Cao Yong, he couldn't help thanking him again.Cao Yong saw that he was a little thin, with a faint look of exhaustion on his face, he was a little worried, and asked: "Why? The ministry has heavy errands?"

Hong Shu smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just that I've been busy with the grand ceremonies these days, and I have more places to run with Ama." Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Yong and said: "Look at my brother-in-law's complexion. It's good, but it seems to be more energetic than last year!"

"Go to bed every day when it gets dark, just dawdle!" Cao Yong laughed, but remembering that his brother-in-law was still newly married, he couldn't help but look at him with some ambiguity, and pointed to Hong Shu and said, "I can't blame you for being cleared. It's a newlywed, I'm afraid it will be a nightly spring dinner!"

Hong Shu did not refute, but looked back at Chu Yu's carriage, and said to Cao Yong: "Brother-in-law has always been capable, and she is the only son in the family. My sister is really lucky to marry you."

The words turned around a bit fast, Cao Yong remembered the matter of Chunjun's prince Fu Jin raising the sixth elder brother Hongjing, thought about it for a while, and advised Hongshu: "If it is for the sixth elder brother, don't worry too much about it." Tangled, in the end it is still up to the prince to make up his mind. Even if it is raised under the name of the aunt, the royal jade will not be fooled by anyone, so don't worry about it."

Hong Shu frowned, shook his head, and said, "Brother-in-law, I don't worry about these things. Ama told me a long time ago to make me feel at ease. I'm... I feel that the NPC is too old to worry about this and that. It’s boring!” At this point, he sighed and looked at the birds in the distance, feeling very lonely: “It’s better when I was a child, I just think about riding a horse and archery all day long, and don’t worry about anything else.”

Cao Yong listened, but did not know how to comfort him.Not only Hong Shu, how many teenagers in this era who are sixteen or seventeen years old can still be children?Not to mention that Hongshu is the eldest son, or the eldest son of the county prince's mansion, there are even more people who need to socialize.

When the group of people passed through the front door and entered Dongjiang Mixiang, someone came out from the gate of the Wangfu, they were Hong Zhuo and Hong Xin.

The two have always been close to Cao Yong, and when they saw him coming, they greeted him with a smile.

Cao Yong got off his horse, stretched out his hand to touch Hongxin's head, looked at Hongzhuo again, and said with a smile: "It's only been a few months, and the second brother is taller again!"

Hong Zhuo said to Cao Yong with a little dissatisfaction: "Brother-in-law, I am fourteen years old, not a child anymore!" For some reason, he glanced at Hong Shu vaguely while speaking, with a somewhat alienated expression.

While speaking, the carriage entered the gate of the palace and stopped outside the gate of Yi.Although Chuyu's ankle was checked by a doctor yesterday afternoon and a lot of medicinal wine was applied, it was still a bit inconvenient, so Xiyun and Xicai supported her.

Seeing this, Hong Xin widened her eyes and rushed up, holding Chu Yu's arm, raised her head, and asked Chu Yu, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Hong Zhuo's face drooped immediately, he turned his head and stared at Cao Yong, his eyes were like knives, he was speechless for a long time.

Cao Yong frowned slightly, feeling very uncomfortable, not because of Hongzhuo's attitude towards himself, but because Hongzhuo seemed to have changed a lot, and the whole person became sharp.

Chu Yu smiled and replied to Hong Xin: "I twisted my foot while wearing the bottom of the flower pot yesterday, it's not a serious problem, don't worry, fourth brother!"

Cui'er led Wu'er, and Xiao Tianyou hugged Xiao Tianyou, and they all got out of the carriage.

Hongxin let go of Chuyu as if seeing a toy, first went to look at Tianyou, then touched Wu'er's braid, hugged her up, and said to Chuyu, "Sister, I'm holding a nephew, Who is this little girl? She looks so good-looking!"

Wu'er was so frightened by Hong Xin that her face turned pale, she waved her little hand to Chu Yu, and called out, "Sister-in-law...Mom..."

These days, Chu Yu was afraid that Wu'er would make a slip of the tongue in front of her mother-in-law, so she tossed and turned all day long to teach her to change her mouth.Although she has seldom called "Mom" these days, Wu'er was scared by Hong Xin, and called her wrong again.

Chu Yu reproached Hongxin and said, "This is Wu'er, my sister's sister-in-law, don't scare her." Having said that, she smiled and said to Wu'er: "Wu'er, be good, this is my brother, call me quickly!" people!"

Although Wu'er didn't cry, but her little face shrunk into a steamed bun, she didn't look at Hongxin, she wrung her fingers and whispered, "Brother!"

The second gate is the inner house, and it is not easy for Cao Yong to enter. Hongshu ordered the woman on duty to report to Fujin, saying that Da Gege had returned.

When the mother-in-law was about to leave, Hong Zhuo stopped the woman and said to Hong Shu, "Er Niang has been waiting for a long time. My fourth brother and I will send my sister and nephew in. The elder brother will accompany my brother-in-law in the front hall. Speak!"

Hong Shu's face was a little stiff, he glanced at his younger brother, and finally nodded.

Even Chu Yu, who just got off the carriage, sensed that something was wrong with the younger brothers, but now was not the time to talk.

With the support of his younger brother, just after Chuyu entered the second gate, King Chun Fujin had already received the news, and brought people to greet him.

Seeing that Chuyu's legs and feet were inconvenient, Chun Wang Fujin was taken aback, and asked with great concern, "What's wrong with Da Gege?"

Chu Yu smiled and said: "Er Niang, don't worry, it's just that I accidentally twisted my foot yesterday, it's not a serious problem."

While speaking, everyone had already arrived at the main room in the inner courtyard.

This is the first time for Xiao Tianyou to visit his grandparents' house, everyone Fujin, Side Fujin, and Shu Fujin are all from grandma's generation, so it is inevitable that they each offer a gift to meet each other; looking at Wu'er, who is carved in pink and jade, he also likes it very much.Especially the concubine Jin Yiergenjueluo who had a little princess a few years ago, seeing Wu'er's cute appearance, he was so rare.

Chu Yu sat on the kang, and saw a tall young woman in a red flag suit following behind her biological mother, Nalashi, she couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Seeing Chuyu looking at the new daughter-in-law, Chunwang Fujin smiled and said to Chuyu, "This is your brother-in-law Borzigit, this is the first time you have seen her!" Shi said: "This is your eldest sister, I'll meet you soon!"

Mrs. Borzigit glanced at Chunwang Fujin indifferently, answered "Yes", and went forward to greet Chuyu.

Chu Yu looked at it carefully with a smile. Although Borzigit's appearance was not outstanding, she looked very dignified, worthy of the status of the daughter-in-law of the county prince's mansion.She looked up at Nalashi again, and saw that the biological mother looked at her daughter-in-law very softly.

Mrs. Borzigit saw Chuyu, and retreated to her mother-in-law, very well-behaved.Chu Yu felt at ease, because she heard that this sister-in-law was a relative of the Queen Mother, and she was worried that she might be an arrogant Mongolian princess, but now it seems to be a good one.

While speaking, someone had already picked up several princesses to see her sister and nephew.

Ergege from the same mother as Chuyu, Wugege from the Di Fujin, and Qigege from the Li Jiashi of the Shufu Jin.The three sisters walked up to Chuyu and met her sister.

Er Ge Ge fifteen, five Ge Ge thirteen, are all slim, girly appearance; only Qi Ge Ge, who landed a month before Kangxi Chuyu got married, only a few months older than Wu Er.Qigege looked at Wu'er who was sitting next to Chuyu, and was very curious. He wanted to go over and speak but dared not, so he was led by his mother back to the biological mother next to him.

Chu Yu saw that there were also two pretty girls who came with a few little princesses. One was wearing a snow-blue flag dress and the other was wearing a light pink dress. They were a little plain in appearance and somewhat similar in appearance, like Two sisters, but I don't know each other.

The two sisters entered the house, but did not go forward, but stood near the door, looking at everyone with a smile.

Chunwang Fujin waved to the two girls, and said, "Qiaofu, Qiaorong, what are you still doing standing there? Hurry up and meet your eldest cousin!"

"Cousin?" Chu Yu recalled that her aunt had a concubine who followed her husband's appointment as an official in another province. She remembered that it was mentioned in the family letter last year that both daughters of this aunt's family went to Beijing for the draft.Seeing that the two of them are not gorgeous, and there are not many maids and women around them, it seems that they have lost the election.

Chun Wang Fujin smiled and said to Chu Yu: "They are the daughters of your fifth aunt. The taller one is your eldest cousin Qiaofu, and the smaller one is your second cousin Qiaorong. When they left Beijing in the early years, they visited In our house, you took the two of them to play hard at that time."

Hearing what Chun Wang Fujin said, Chu Yu also remembered that it must have been ten years.

"Big cousin!" Sisters Qiaofu and Qiaorong have already bowed down.

But Chuyu couldn't sit down to accept the ceremony, so she got up on the kang and met her two cousins.

Qiaofu is fifteen or six years old, with a plump body, and looks very gentle and quiet; Qiaorong is only thirteen or fourteen, and she loves to laugh.Looking at the earrings on Chuyu's ears, she tilted her head and said with a smile, "Big cousin, this is so pretty, my sister has never seen beads of this color!"

As soon as she spoke, everyone looked towards Chuyu's ear, but no, the earrings were made of rose-red beads, the size of the cap of a little finger.It is a perfectly round bead, and it is this color, which is indeed rare.

Seeing the envious look on the cousin's face, Chu Yu touched her ear, feeling a little embarrassed, and would have given it away if she had said something else, but these were the beads from her forehead.

They are all beads from his own bead factory. Cao Yong asked people to keep those rare and good ones, and asked Chuyu to match them with jewelry.Although Li's side also used beads, but at that age, all the white round beads were used, and the colored ones were not kept.

Therefore, Chu Yu said: "This is from your brother-in-law, but it is not easy to give it to your second cousin!" As he said, he took off a string of coral beads from his hand, took Qiao Rong's hand, put it on her hand, and smiled He said: "If my cousin doesn't dislike it, I will give this string of beads to my cousin to play with."

Qiao Rong couldn't help blushing, looked at Chun Wang Fujin, and murmured: "Big cousin, my sister doesn't care what you want!"

Chuyu helped her put the beads on her hands, and said with a smile, "Even if my cousin doesn't want it, she should give it to her as a meeting gift." As she said, she took off a string of agarwood bracelets and gave it to Qiaofu as a meeting gift.

Seeing Chunwang Fujin nodding, Qiaofu stepped forward to take it, and then leaned over to thank him.

The two sisters Qiaofu and Qiaorong stood beside Ergege and Wugege.It stands to reason that the girls are of the same age, so they should hit it off.But for some reason, Er Gege and Wu Gege seemed to have a suspicion of these two cousins, and inadvertently stepped back to the side, keeping a distance from the two sisters.

Qiao Rong bit her lip and looked at the two princesses with resentment; Qiao Fu's face was flushed, and she was tightly clutching the handkerchief in her hand.

Even though she realized later, Chu Yu also sensed that something was wrong, and looked around at everyone in the room, except that King Chun's complexion was the same as before, and nothing could be seen.When looking at Qiaofu and Qiaorong sisters, the faces of other people are different, some are contemptuous, some are gloating, and some are sympathetic.

Two Ge Ge and Wu Ge Ge did not even look at them, for fear of dirtying their eyes.Side Fujin Nala, couldn't tell whether he liked or loathed the two sisters, his expression was very complicated; Borzigit sneered with the corner of his mouth, showing an indescribable sadness on his body.
