The ground was covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost, and the cold seal blew on the body, making people tremble.
Brother You wore a thin sapphire blue cotton robe and a soft brocade cloak on the outside.
As soon as he entered the house, he took off his cloak: "Mother, when will the third brother be coming back?" A few days ago, I heard that Brother Xuan was coming back, but it was almost half a month since he was home.
Putting the book in his hand on the table, Yuxi smiled and said, "I don't come back so quickly. I guess it will take more than half a month."
"Mother, are you hiding something from me?" After finishing speaking, Brother You said: "Mother, is the third brother sick?" If not sick, it is almost there.
Yuxi really felt that Brother You was getting better and better now, and he didn't hide it. He nodded and said, "Well, he is sick. After a lot of trouble, he hurried back to the capital without a good rest. As a result, a cold wind blows. He fell ill." The child was out, and his parents couldn't take care of him. If Ge Xuan was at home in a situation like that, she would definitely let him take care of his body before going out.
When I heard that Brother Xuan was ill, Brother You became a little anxious: "Mother, where is the third brother now? I'll pick him up."
"He has recovered from his illness and is rushing back. But this time he is riding a carriage, and it may take more than half a month to arrive in Beijing." After all, Ah San is a man, and there are some things that are not as careful as a woman. If they didn't ride back on horseback, but took a carriage, maybe Brother Xuan wouldn't fall ill.
"Mother, let me pick up Brother 3!" He really missed Brother Xuan after he hadn't seen him for a year. He and Brother Xuan had never been separated for such a long time.
Yuxi glanced at him and said, "It's been very busy these days?" This was asked knowingly, and the Ministry of Households was the busiest by the end of the year. Shen Chun Tingba didn't need to tune a few talented people for him. Not to mention that Brother Xuan's arithmetic is very good, he can handle a lot of things quickly and well in his hands.
For this reason, Shen Chunting is a pity that Brother Xuan is the prince, otherwise he would definitely train him well and then take his class.
"I have been busy all day long, and there is no time to catch my breath." This is not an exaggeration. The end of the year and the beginning of the year are the busiest. In the twelfth lunar month, I often work overtime. However, Brother You only works on errands, and will flash people at one point, and will never stay at the yamen for another minute. Because he is the prince, others can only envy him.
Yuxi deliberately said: "So, Brother Xuan is false, and it is true to be lazy." Brother You is not positive about errands, and Yuxi never commented on it. Anyway, as long as the things entrusted to him are done, everything else is up to Brother You's own will.
Brother You sighed and said: "I'm worried about the third brother, but Mother misunderstood my meaning in this way, which made me sad."
Yuxi smiled and patted the seeds of Brother You'er on the head: "Don't pretend, go to the Yamen and do things quickly." She is going to take a nap too.
Brother You walked on the front foot, and Yu Zhi came over on the back foot. Yu Zhi came here this time to talk about Yan Wushuang's news.
"Queen Empress, Yan Wushuang's family has gone to sea ten days ago." It was thousands of miles away from Shengjing to Qiongzhou. However, most of the Yan family are women and children, so they walk slowly.
Yuxi nodded and said, "Deploy more manpower to the coastal area. As soon as Yan Wushuang appeared, he caught him."
Yu Zhi hesitated and asked, "Empress, will Yan Wushuang really show up?" He felt that since the whole family is gone, he might not want to come back again.
"I'm 90% sure that he will come back."
Yu Zhi never doubted Yuxi's words: "The empress, he was able to escape when he was hunted down by the Song family's nets. This time he will not be able to catch him if he returns to the Central Plains."
"His ultimate goal is Tongcheng, and he will definitely find Qiu Dashan, and you will send someone to stare at Qiu Dashan in secret." As long as Yan Wushuang returns to the Central Plains, he must be grasped. Keeping such a scourge makes it difficult to sleep and eat.
Yu Zhi nodded.
After talking about the official business, Yuxi asked Ruo Nan: "Ruo Nan is already 19 this year, and he will be 20 after the new year. You should also settle her marriage."
Speaking of this, Yu Zhi looked helpless: "She doesn't want to marry, saying that marrying is not free. We want to force it, but we can't force it." Before, Yu Zhi and Zi Jin gave Ruo Nan an optimistic view of her family, but after they met The other party vomited up and down and lay down for half a month. This happened twice in a row, which made Zijin and Yu Zhi dare not arrogantly tell her now. Otherwise, this child really doesn't have to marry after spreading it out.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Then you can find someone who won't restrain her." If the man is indulged in developing various drugs, the other party must accept her preference. Otherwise, Yuxi also thinks it's better not to marry.
Yu Zhi looked embarrassed.
When Yuxi saw this, he smiled and said: "I will tell Liu Er later, let her pay more attention. Try to let her pick a few more good ones, and then you can check the other party's roots. If there is no problem, then Let Ruo Nan go to see you." Yu Zhi is a stubborn one, he manages the secret guards and never seeks personal gain for himself. He would not abuse his power without Yuxi speaking.
Yu Zhi said embarrassedly: "The queen, can you ask the second princess to come along and help Ah Sheng find a suitable candidate." Their husband and wife are in special circumstances, and it is really difficult to find the right girl by themselves. . Moreover, Yu Zhi was not convinced by Viola's vision.
Yuxi smiled and agreed.
When Yuxi entrusted this to Liu'er, Liu'er said dumbfounded: "Mother, why are you looking for me one by one. Feelings, you all regard me as a matchmaker!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiqi said, "What? Who else asks you to help matchmaking?"
"A Rui! The brother A Rui asked me to give him was the Bao Xiaoxiao who was arrested as A Rui. He wanted to marry a daughter-in-law who could read and read. He couldn't find it in the realm of Changzhou, so A Rui asked me." After speaking, Liu'er's eyes lit up: "Mother, how about telling Ruo Nan to Bao Xiaoxiao? I have seen Bao Xiaoxiao. He looks talented and has no one in the family. If a man marries him, he can be a council member in the past, so don't worry. Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, these."
"Then it has to be if the man likes it." Bao Xiaoxiao almost died in order to save Brother Rui, and this alone is enough to show that the child has a lot of love and righteousness.
Liuer smiled and said, "I'll talk to Ruo Nan about this." Ruo Nan is two years younger than Liu Er, and Liu Er often played with her when she was a child. Later, Ruo Nan had less time to get along with Master Yang, but the relationship was still good.
"This kid is a bit repulsive to marrying people. Go ahead, it's really better." Liu Er is a peer of the same age, and she shares a topic with Ruo Nan.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liu'er is currently married happily, and what he says can be convincing.
After talking about Ruo Nan, Liu Er couldn't help but ask Brother Xuan, "Mother, when will A Xuan get home?" All of the brothers and sisters knew what happened to Brother Xuan in Mianzhou.
"I should be able to get home by the end of this month. A Xuan has finally grown up after this incident. From now on, I don't have to worry about him anymore." As long as Brother Xuan is clear in mind not to be led by a woman's nose, he should behave in an orderly manner. Appropriately, Yuxi wouldn't care about the fact that he likes beauties.
Liuer smiled and said, "Mother, I will learn more from you in the future." When Brother Xuan was kicked out of the capital, she didn't expect much. There is an old saying that it is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. However, she didn't expect that the whole body of Xuan Ge'er would be broken by her mother.
"There is actually no trick to teaching children. As long as they are not spoiled, they will become talented. However, some problems in the children must be discovered in time and corrected. Mother Xuan's soft ears were not discovered in time. . If not, he won’t suffer this crime.” Qi Hao also has many problems, just because Qi Hao is right under her nose, she can guide him to correct it in time.
Liu Er hugged Yuxi's arm and said softly: "Anyway, if I don't understand in the future, I will ask my mother."
Yuxi smiled and slapped her: "I'm so grown-up and still act like a baby with my mother, and I'm not shy." She was also pampered by Feng Zhixi, otherwise she wouldn't get more and more squeamish. Yuxi is only happy about this phenomenon.
That night, Liu Er told Feng Zhixi about Xuan's brother: "If the mother-in-law can be as cruel as my mother, the eldest sister will not be that way. So, blindly pampering children is not love. It's a harm." If Feng Lianwu had returned home with Li, her mother-in-law would find that she was not strictly disciplined, and there would be no subsequent things.
Speaking of Feng Lianwu, Feng Zhixi was in a bad mood: "When Dad saw that the eldest sister-in-law also meant to be transferred, he was ready to transfer him to Yizhou, Jiangxi. As a result, the eldest sister was still not satisfied." Jiangxi is rich in resources, although Not better than Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it is also a very good place.
After hearing this, Liu Er smiled and said, "You are still unsatisfied with her, but she is still not satisfied. She will be happy unless she gives her the title of knight and all the belongings of the National Palace."
Feng Zhixi sighed and said, "I mean, unless it's life and death, don't care about her affairs in the future. But father and mother, I'm afraid they won't agree."
"My father-in-law is well-measured, so don't worry about it." After saying this, Liu Er said: "You need more refreshments on Brother Ji's business. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will follow in the footsteps of your older sister in the future. "Sister Dan, the child has a good temper, and the husband who taught her has always praised her for her sensibility and intelligence. Brother Ji is still young, and Liu'er is worried that he will be affected by following her mother-in-law.
It's not that Liu'er is so kind, it's just that once Brother Ji has broken his studies or is as indifferent as Feng Lianwu, his family will also be affected in the future.
Feng Zhixi nodded and said: "When Liaodong's affairs are finished, Dad will come back. His body is not suitable for going on the battlefield anymore. From now on, Brother Ji will leave it to Dad." He is also very busy. , How can there be time to control Brother Jiu.
Liu Er smiled and nodded: "It's good if you know it in your heart." About Feng Lianwu, she really didn't want to come back again.
Feng Zhixi was also very helpless with such a mother and sister.
