Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 358 Calling on the Golden Gate Harvest
On November thirteenth, Kangxi set off from Changchun Garden to visit the Temporary Anfeng Hall and Xiaoling Mausoleum, followed by the fifth elder brother, tenth elder brother, fifteenth elder brother, and seventeenth elder brother.

Cao Yong, as the minister of Taipusi, brought Tang Zhiyu and several other officials, and also followed Luanjia to serve.

Unlike the summer vacation outside the Great Wall in May, this business trip is really a pain.The cold wind is getting colder, riding on a horse, the speed is extremely slow, and you can't lose your official appearance.

Although Cao Yong did not have a retinue in winter, Brother Sixteen is often a retinue, and he told Cao Yong in advance to bring enough small woolen clothes.The most important thing is to wear an official uniform to keep out the wind and cold.What other soft leather knee pads, suede boots, muffs, earbags, everything can be prepared.

Cao Yong also told several officials of the Taipu Temple who followed him, and everyone was prepared.Only Tang Zhiyu, because he caught up with Xiu Mu before the business trip, did not catch up with Cao Yong's orders, and did not prepare for those.

Although he was also wearing cotton clothes, which looked thick enough to withstand the cold, but after walking on horseback for half a day, his face was pale and his body was stiff from the cold.

According to the itinerary, it will take five or six days to arrive at Xiaoling. Cao Yong was afraid that Tang Zhiyu would not be able to bear it, so he gave him a set of spare leather vests, knee pads, and gloves.

In order to avoid disturbing the people, Sheng Jia didn't go through the town. Tang Zhiyu couldn't find a place to buy some fur clothes even if he wanted to.Therefore, although he was a little embarrassed about Cao Yong's gift, he still thanked him for accepting it.

A lazy person like Cao Yong was reluctant to go on a business trip in the cold winter, but Li Nai visited yesterday and brought some news, which made him go on a business trip happily.

Li Xu is going to Beijing, and he has already asked for an order to come to Beijing to see His Majesty.I heard that he has set off for Jiangning and will arrive in Beijing in late November.

Cao Yong was able to handle Li Nai with ease, but in Li Xu's case, he was not sure.Li Xu is a detective, if he shows his flaws, he can't possibly lead the suspicion to himself.

It's just that he couldn't participate in Yongqing's eldest son's "washing three" ceremony, Cao Yong sighed in his heart.

*
Inside the Fucheng Gate, there is the Little Bowsmith Alley, Yongqing Mansion, and the main hall of the inner courtyard.

The women who came to participate in the children's "washing three" today included Yongqing's mother Fuhui Princess, Yongsheng's wife, Yongqing's sister Prince Jian Fujin, Chuyu, and Qi Jia's aunt Fu Erdan's wife Shu Mulu; The male guests were Yongsheng, Qijia, a natal brother who worked in Beijing, and two martial arts scholars of the same year in Yongqing's martial arts exam.

While washing the baby, the grandma said: "Wash the hair first, and become a prince; wash the waist later, and one generation will be taller than the previous generation; wash the eggs, and become the county magistrate; wash the ditch, and become the magistrate."

After washing, she picked up the scallions she had prepared and gave the baby lightly three times, saying, "The first dozen are smart, the second dozen are clever, and the third dozen are clear!" Yongqing.

Holding the green onion in his hand, like holding a gold bar, Yongqing went out cheerfully.When he arrived in the yard, he stood down in the middle of the yard, facing the roof beam of the main house, and threw this green onion up with all his might.

The admission grandma rolls up the incense case enshrining the thirteen gods, including Bixia Yuanjun, Yunxiao Empress, Songzi Empress, and Douzhu Empress, and sends them to the courtyard for incineration.

After it was all burnt up, she congratulated Yongqing with a smile on her face, gathered the extra plates and other things, and returned with a full load.

"After washing three times", Yongqing entertained a few male guests to drink in the front yard, while Chu Yu sat in the inner hall with Princess Fuhui and others to talk.

In terms of seniority, Chu Yu still called Princess Fuhui Tanggu, so she called her "aunt" when she spoke.

Princess Fuhui saw that Chuyu was white and tender. Although she had been married for several years, she still looked as charming as a boudoir daughter, and she thought she would live a very comfortable life.

"I heard that the kid in your family followed your parents-in-law to the south. It's a long way away. You don't even want to be a mother-in-law?" Fuhui nagged.

Chu Yu smiled and replied: "The left and right are just doing their filial piety for us. If you say you don't want to be false, you just want to have his grandparents hurting you. It must be more appropriate than the younger ones like us, and there will be less worries in your heart." !"

Fuhui shook her head, noncommittal, the baby is the mother's heart, it seems that Chu Yu is just holding on, how could he not think about it?

Speaking of the child, Fuhui felt heartbroken when thinking of the little grandson that Yongjia lost more than a month ago, and looked at her daughter with pity.

Wanyan Yongjia was sitting on a chair, with a faint smile on his face and slightly gorgeous makeup.Her face was evenly powdered, her eyebrows were curved, and rouge was applied to her forehead.

Although she didn't see anything unusual on her face, Chu Yu brushed her hand inadvertently, looking frighteningly pale and thin.

Wanyan Yongjia was listening to his mother and Chu Yu with a smile, but when he saw Chu Yu looking over, he nodded his head slightly.

Seeing her expression of neither sorrow nor joy, Chu Yu felt quite strange.There was an indescribable feeling, a faint sense of guilt, and the feeling that I had thought about it.

Because Qi Jia's family was not confinement and could not see guests, Chu Yu talked with Fu Hui for a while, then took her leave and left.

After sending Chuyu away, Fuhui looked at her daughter with a pale face, feeling very distressed.On the side of the palace, there is the son-in-law left behind by Da Fujin, and the side Fujin who is quite favored by the prince. Her daughter is really suffering.

Wanyan Yongjia looked at his mother's worry, smiled slightly, and said, "Emiang, my daughter is fine!"

Without a son by her side, and not being favored by her husband, it's just a decoration in the inner house, how can it be okay?Princess Fuhui's eye circles were already red, and she wanted to comfort her.

Because she was afraid of losing her daughter's face in front of her youngest daughter-in-law, she just sighed and didn't say anything after all.

*
Sitting in the car, Chu Yu thought about what she had heard and seen. There were very few women living as comfortably as she did.Wouldn't it be her blessing to be able to marry the forehead?She should cherish her blessings, she told herself in her heart.

The carriage did not go straight back to Cao's mansion, but went through the front gate and went to Chunjun Wang's mansion.

These days, there are rumors that the old concubine is planning to marry her in the harem during her filial piety.Both Chunwang Fujin and side Fujin Nalashi sent letters to Chuyu, asking her to go back to the palace to have a look when she had time.

Er Gege from Prince Chun's Mansion is fifteen years old this year, and he has performed the Jiji ceremony before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and has reached the age of talking about others.

Hearing that Chuyu came back, King Chun Fujin personally brought his maidservant to the second gate to welcome her.Just in time, Fujin came with his maid, and the two of them bumped into each other, and there was a little embarrassment on their faces.

Seeing that both her aunt and biological mother were there, Chu Yu hurriedly bowed down to salute.

Chunwang Fujin took her hand with a smile, and said: "My family, heretics, it's getting colder today, hurry up and talk to Er Niang in the house!"

Chu Yu responded with a smile, nodded to Nalashi, and followed the steps of her aunt.Side Fujin fell behind, looking at his daughter's hand, his expression was a little stiff, he sighed inwardly, and followed Fujin to the main courtyard.

Although it was already winter and it was cold outside, Chunwang Fujin's house was as warm as spring because of the earth dragons.

After entering the house, Chu Yu put on the cloak outside.Because Chunwang Fujin's hands were cold when he touched her just now, he sat on the kang without saying anything, and handed a copper hand stove with gold blessing characters that he often used to Chuyu's hand.

Side Fujin Nala Shi stood by, listening to the gossip between King Chun Fujin and his daughter.

Chu Yu was thinking about her younger sister, and asked, "Emiang, Lafayette is referring to marriage at this time, the second sister... the second sister is going to Horqin?"

"It's still hard to say now. Listening to the news from the court, it is said that Er Gege's marriage will be confirmed before the end of the month! It doesn't matter if it is Horqin, or Harqin, or Bahrain. I only wish that it is Outer Mongolia. It's strange to be far away, and there is no hope of returning home." Chun Wang Fujin said.

These two princesses were born by the side Fujin Nala, she was listening beside her, her face was full of reluctance.But I also know in my heart that there is nothing I can do if I can't bear it. It is customary for clan women to caress Mongolia.If one of the ten gegeli can stay in the capital, that's already a big deal.In their mansion, Chuyu's staying in the capital is already a great grace, how can there be a second time?
After a short time, I saw Chun Wang Fujin summoning Er Gege and Wu Gege's maids to come back, and the two Gege followed.

Er Gege was wearing a royal blue squirrel fur robe, and he still had a steady appearance.Greetings to the two Fujins, after seeing each other with Chuyu, she asked with a smile: "Sister, I heard that my nephew has three spinners on his head, my sister has never seen a person with three spinners, why didn't my sister bring her back?"

Chu Yu smiled and said, "He's still young, and he doesn't dare to make trouble in the cold weather. When my sister is free, I'll see it when I pass by the mansion over there!"

Er Gege smiled and sat down on the chair.

Wu Gege's expression was a little faint.After more than half a year of treatment, the scars on her face have become much lighter. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it anymore.It's just that her temperament has changed a lot, she is not as talkative and laughing as before.

King Chun Fujin smiled and said to Chu Yu: "The three of you are good, and you will be expected to fight on horseback in the future! If you and your son-in-law have such kindness, you will be rewarded. There is a child in front of you." Keep it up, this child will come sooner! It’s just that baby Tianyou, even though it’s not in front of your eyes, you can’t ignore it. Children are the most spiritual, and he knows in his heart whether his parents hurt him or not!”

Wu Gege sat under Er Gege, seeing his mother warmly pulling his sister to talk, he was a bit unhappy at first.After hearing Fujin's words, she stood up and said forcefully: "Since Er Niang knows this, why doesn't she love Second Sister and me more?"

Chunwang Fujin was puzzled by the question, he frowned and said: "What is this called, are you teaching Er Niang?"

Wu Gege bit his lips, his eye circles were already red, and said: "The eldest sister is the daughter of Ama and Er Niang, so the second sister is with me, right? Why can the eldest sister stay in the capital, but my second sister and I are going to Mongolia Go to eat sand? Before the elder sister reached Ji, Ama asked for her will in person; after half a year since the second elder sister reached Ji, rumors about Mongolia had been spread in the palace, but there was no movement between Ama and Erniang? Ask for grace, why can't I also ask for my second sister?"

Although she and Ergege have different mothers, the two sisters are about the same age, and they played together since they were young, and their relationship is the deepest.

Although Wugege spoke childish words, there was resentment in the middle.Chu Yu was listening, not knowing how to comfort the two younger sisters.

Although Chunwang Fujin was a little bit blatant about Wu Gege's rudeness, he knew that their sisters were deeply affectionate, and he was reluctant to part with them.

She sighed, and said with a wry smile: "You and your sisters have seen many princesses in the prince's mansions, Baylor's mansion, and other families in the city. How many of them can be in the capital? There is no way around this! "

Wu Gege wanted to say more, but was stopped by Er Gege.

There was some embarrassment in the room, Chun Wang Fujin said to Chu Yu: "It just so happens that today I made new bean noodle pastry and gold cakes, which are all your favorite things when you are young, so ask someone to bring them for you to taste a couple of mouthfuls!" Then, he ordered the servant girl Go and bring it.

The golden cake is made from boiled hawthorn juice, and it is the most appetizing to eat.

Chu Yu smiled and said, "Daughter really misses the golden cake from our palace. There is also one in the palace over there, but it's too sweet and not as refreshing as the one here in the palace."

After a while, the servant girl had already brought up two small dishes.A white jade plate was filled with sliced ​​gold cakes; an agate plate was filled with chrysanthemum stuffed glutinous rice cakes dipped in bean flour.

This red and white match makes people feel pleasing to the eye.Chu Yu smiled and took a small fork, forked a piece of gold cake and put it in her mouth, her lips and teeth salivated immediately.

"It's delicious!" She ate two or three yuan in a row, then looked away reluctantly, and tasted another bean noodle cake.

As soon as the bean flavor was in his mouth, Chu Yu felt his stomach tumbling, and quickly covered his mouth and retched.It seemed that she couldn't even smell it anymore, her face turned pale, she hurriedly got up from the kang, and stood at a distance, only then did she feel more comfortable in her heart.

Chun Wang Fujin and Nala Shi met, their eyes widened and they said: "This..."

Inside Dongzhimen, Li's house.

Li Nai was sitting in the inner hall, looking anxious.Hearing movement from the back room, he stood up immediately.

I saw the door curtain opened, and an old doctor with a white beard came out.Xiang Tong followed behind, her eyes were a little red.

Li Nai couldn't wait to ask: "Physician Zhou, how is the diagnosis? But... but yes?"

The old imperial doctor smiled and cupped his hands, and said, "Congratulations to the eldest son, the little grandma inside is really happy!"

Li Nai let out a long breath, his face was full of joy, and sighed: "God sees you..."
