take a wife to support the family

Chapter 322
Half a month later, the prince left Beijing to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven.

There are hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Rites, officials from the East Palace, and hundreds of officials in the retinue. There are nearly ten thousand young Hanlin and noble children who have followed the crown prince's qualifications, plus their subordinates and entourages. The official boats crowded the canal. .

Song Haonian and Prince Xin naturally had to go with the crown prince to Mount Tai, Baihe sent her husband away, and returned in the same car with Prince Xin.The concubine Shizi used to be a very arrogant person, but today she started a conversation with Baihe and asked her about the situation at home.

Lily smiled and said, "My family is nothing like that. I haven't heard from them for quite a while, so I don't know what's going on. But with relatives and friends taking care of me, it shouldn't be a problem."

Then he asked the concubine Shizi, "Qingzi is teaching "The Analects of Confucius" in the women's school. I heard from the princess that even the maids in your family can read and write, which is amazing. What books do you read when you are at home?"

The concubine Shizi thought to herself: You don't study, why ask me?But this is the second sister-in-law, and she had to answer the question, and she had ghosts in her heart, so she didn't dare to neglect, so she smiled and said: "I read more "Poems" when I was at home. Not very careful."

He regretted it as soon as he said it, and complained to Baihe about too many common affairs. If she talked too much and told the concubine, wouldn't the concubine mother take back the power of housekeeper in her hand so that she could relax?

Fortunately, Lily didn't pay attention, and only enviously said: "Your family is a scholar's family after all, and your temperament is better than others, which is very different."

The concubine Shi Zi couldn't help looking at her: "Second sister-in-law also looks like a scholar."

The two sisters-in-law and concubine were talking indifferently, and when they returned home, Princess Zhou said to Princess Xin, "I will take the children to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat, and I will entrust you with all the affairs at home."

The concubine Shizi quickly agreed, without any intention of complaining, because she was afraid that she would appear too fond of power, she added a few words: "Mother, concubine, the second sister-in-law is also very capable, why don't you ask the second sister-in-law to be a teacher with me?"

Princess Zhou glanced at her with a half-smile, and said: "Your second sister-in-law is going to serve me at the Zhuangzi, and you can take care of the family affairs."

Lily smiled and said, "Then I can be at my leisure."

"It's no fun to accompany my old lady," Zhou Wangfei said with a smile.

Lily pretended to be exaggerated: "Oh, my concubine has never been to our country. In that place, the Bodhisattva empress is not as good as my concubine. I am going to be by her side so that I can get a little fairy air .”

Princess Xin couldn't help smiling.

Although the crown prince thought that Lily's flattery was a bit vulgar, it was not a bad word after all, so she laughed it off.

Three days later, Princess Xin took Lily and Ruzhen to the Huangzhuang. Lily thought it was just the three of them, but when they set off, Princess Zhou brought a bunch of carrot heads: Yining, Yi from Princess Changping's house An, Hezhen, Hejun, and Hanzhi from the prince's family, Hetang, Hemo, and Hanfang from the Prince Xin's family, Hanai, Hechang from the Yongjun Wang family, plus Ruzhen, a dozen small carrot heads , Lily's eyes became dizzy.

The children in this group are only about ten years old. Except for Ruzhen, the youngest is Hanzhi from the prince's family, who is only a little over two years old. I heard that Yiyu from Princess Changping's family is only one year old. I didn't follow this time, otherwise the children More.

The little radishheads each have a nanny, a nanny and a servant girl, with a lot of people around them, except that there are no parents to watch over them. During the holiday, Zhaoren simply went with his mother and concubine to escape the summer heat.

A group of little dolls hug me and pull you. They are having so much fun together. The sound waves are about to blow over the roof. Lily rubbed her forehead and thought, she was most afraid of being a kindergarten teacher in her previous life. She never thought that she could escape it in her previous life. There is no escape.

Zhaoren walked over, picked up Hanzhi with one hand and hugged her in his arms, and taught her to call her Auntie, Hanzhi couldn't even speak clearly, so she called her Auntie indistinctly, those who stood underground, except the older ones Hezhen, Yining, Hetang, and Hanai all called aunt for hugs.

Even Yi'an from Princess Changping's family also called her aunt, to the delight of Princess Zhaoren: "Yi'an, you have to call me aunt."

Yi An didn't understand: "They are all called Auntie, why am I called Young Aunt?" Yi An felt excluded.

Zhaoren was dumbfounded for a moment, and didn't know how to answer her, but her elder brother Yi Ning said: "I am also called Xiaoyi, you are my younger sister, you should call me after me."

Only then did Yi An nod his head, reluctantly agreeing.

It is not easy to send this group of little radish heads to the carriage. Princess Zhou brought Ruzhen and Yi'an, Hanzhi, Hanfang, and Hanai in her own carriage, and Baihe took Yining, Hanai, etc. Hezhen, Hejun, Princess Zhaoren's third car, with Hetang, Hemo, and Hechang, accompanied by two servants in one car, and everyone else sat in the car behind.

In addition, even Mu San and Qingsong came to join in the fun, Yining poked his head out of the car window and yelled "Third Uncle", Mu San was afraid that the world would be chaotic and asked him: "Come ride with Third Uncle?"

Li Qingsong rolled his eyes at the side: "You haven't healed yet, why are you riding a horse?" As he said that, it was a pity that Ruzhen was still young, otherwise Ruzhen could call him uncle at this moment and pester him to ride a horse...

Lily is really thankful that Ruzhen is still young.

Yongjun Wang Cizhao, Xingjun Wang Cihuan and Rongjun Wang Cican were going to send Princess Zhou to the Huangzhuang and then back. They were escorting on both sides of the team on horseback. They heard several little girls in Princess Zhou's car exclaiming from time to time:

"His hands are so small!" This is Yi An.

"My brother's feet are so small..." This is Hanai.

"Small, small!" The words were still unclear, but it was Hanzhi.

Concubine Zhou hugged Ruzhen, surrounded by three little granddaughters, all with flower-like faces, making people happy just looking at them.

Lily's situation is different. Boys are always naughty. Fortunately, she has been a teacher. First, she assigned Yining to take care of her two younger brothers. How to put earthworms on silk thread to go fishing in the river ditch.The children's eyes were rounded by the novelty, and they exclaimed from time to time.

He Jun shook He Zhen's hand and said, "Brother, let's catch sparrows!"

He Zhen said: "Silly boy, it's not snowing now, so I can't catch sparrows."

He Jun thought for a while and said, "Then let's go and tell Grandpa Huang to call it Xuexue!"

Yining pursed her lips, trying to hold back a laugh but couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing, He Zhen felt very ashamed, covered He Jun's mouth to prevent him from talking, He Jun shook his head to break free, the two brothers rolled into a ball .

Princess Zhaoren's car was different. Her aunt was full of majesty, so she couldn't sit still, so she left the children in the car and ran out to ride a horse by herself, which made Hetang three greedy.

As soon as Zhaoren stretched out his hand, he took Hechang down, and asked her brothers to hold Hetang and Hemo to ride horses. The three boys were so happy that the car was suddenly empty.

The group walked staggeringly for half a day, passing a village in the middle, and stopped for a rest. The maids caught up and helped the little ancestors change their clothes, and fed them honey water and snacks.

Only He Jun only drank water and refused to eat snacks: "I want to eat fish, and I want to go fishing with Zhuangzi!"

Lily thought that Qingsong was also in the team, and coaxed him with a smile: "You have two snacks first, and I will ask Qingsong to take you fishing later."

Only then did He Jun open his mouth to eat, while his nanny kept on reciting Buddha's words: "Our elder brother never likes to eat, and he is thinner than other children. The young master and the wife can't help but worry about gray hair."

The court ladies and eunuchs call the emperor the emperor, and the prince is the young master.

Lily said with a smile: "Children have weak spleen and stomach, and it's not uncommon for them not to like to eat. When they go back to Zhuangzi and run around more, their appetite will naturally improve."

Yining and Hezhen's eyes lit up: "Second Aunt (Second Aunt), can we run on the Zhuangzi?"

Lily said: "I'll take you to Zhuangzi to play, why didn't you tell you to run? But you have to agree to three things."

The two teenagers nodded repeatedly: "We agree!"

He Jun didn't know, so he nodded.

Lily snapped her fingers and said: "The first is the same, you can't go to dangerous places, for example, you can go to the water, but you have to bring your servants, and you are not allowed to go into the water; the second is the same, you must not lose the proper etiquette, you are all descendants of phoenixes. You can't just hang around in Chuang Tzu for a few days, and then become a little savage; the last one, you can't miss your homework."

The younger ones are alright, the older ones have to go to school, and now it's summer vacation, the homework assigned by the master is still following in the carriage, and they will be written later and sent to the school for inspection.

When Baihe mentioned the last point, Yi Ning and He Zhen pouted their lips, stretched their faces, and said in unison: "I can't play like crazy!"

During the conversation, when we reached the Huangzhuang, the children all opened the curtains and looked out. They saw the waves of wheat rolling on both sides of the road. The farm was built at the foot of the mountain at the end of the road, surrounded by mountains and rivers. , a color of white walls and black tiles, hidden in the lush trees, just looking at it makes people cool.

Walking all the way from the capital, Lily could already feel the cool breeze blowing in this place. When the carriage drove into the Zhuangzi, everyone got out of the carriage, and a burst of coolness and moisturization hit their faces. The children all said "ah" and looked up eagerly. Princess Zhou.

Concubine Zhou has many children, so she knew how to deal with them. First, she asked everyone's nanny to come up, divide the room, and told them to stay and wash.

Originally, there was one room for each person, but there were brothers who wanted to live in the same room, and two sisters who held hands and refused to let them go, and the princess also followed them.

After finally settling down, the sun had already set to the west, and the three county kings were rushing back to the capital, but the princess chased them away: "Let's go, you are not here, so we can relax."

When the nanny and the others pack up the children and bring them out, the village head has already served freshly steamed rice and fish balls. These children have been making a fuss all day, and now they are hungry, and they all eat very sweetly.

Several boys pestered Lily and asked, "When can I go fishing?"

Princess Zhou also asked, "What kind of fish are you fishing?"

"On the way, I told a few of them about collecting earthworms and fishing in the countryside, and they were all curious," Lily said.

Qingsong hurriedly said: "I will do this, I will take it with me later, it will be safe for sure."

Concubine Zhou nodded: "Then I will ask Uncle Li to take you fishing tomorrow, but remember, don't mess around."

Yining took the lead in cheering, and the little carrot heads were all excited.
