When Zaozao came back, Yun Qing asked his three sons to bring their wives and children back to Cining Palace for dinner.
The previous table has now become two tables, which does not include the two children who are breastfeeding.
For this Chinese meal, Yun Qing ate half a bowl of rice more than usual. This shows how good he is.
After eating, Zaozao was tired of talking to Yuxi in the bedroom of Cining Palace.
"Mother, you don't care about Ahao's draft. With this money, why don't you buy more clothes for the soldiers in the border town" Not to mention that the draft is a lot of money, but those women are another big expense after entering the palace.
Yuxi chuckled lightly: "You were going to marry Wu Jinyu that day. I'm afraid I would stop it. Can you stop it?"
Yuxi also said about Lao Huangli's affairs, and Zaozao's face instantly turned red: "Mother, how can it be the same?" When he was young, he felt that he was doing it right. But now I think about it, but I feel very ashamed. It was not regret, but her behavior made Yun Qing and Yuxi very embarrassed.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Why is it different from your own decision, I can't stop it even if I want to. Besides, Qihao doesn't accept the concubine and the ministers yell every day. It's always annoying."
Zaozao curled his mouth: "If those ministers can force him, it's not Qihao that he wants to accept his concubine."
"Since you know, let me take care of you." Erda couldn't help but listen to her even though Qihao was very filial. But if he gets involved too much, he will get bored. As long as it wasn't a matter of principle, Yuxi didn't want to argue with Qihao.
There is no one else in the room, and Zaozao has no scruples when he speaks: "Mother, ten fingers are still long or short. He accepts the concubine, can those concubines give birth to children in the future, this palace, will there be peace in the future?"
In the past, Qiyou always yelled that his parents were partial to their sisters, and Qi Xuan also felt that he was not taken seriously. This is true for the brothers and sisters of a mother, let alone half brothers and sisters.
Yuxi patted Zaozao's hand and whispered softly: "Just tell me these things. Don't tell a third person anymore. Even your father, don't tell him."
Yun Qing is now a person who really doesn't care about everything, acting entirely on his own temperament. But if Yuxi watched, he wouldn't do anything good.
Sometimes Yuxi envied his temperament, and it was annoying if he didn't think about anything.
Zaozao was stunned and asked: "Mother"
Yuxi smiled and said: "Everything you can think of, Qi Hao will not know. It's just that he still has to draft, which shows that he is confident that he can balance these relationships."
Zaozao is not the little girl who only acted with enthusiasm back then, knowing that some things are not what you want to do.
Yuxi said to Zaozao: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. I am worried about everything, and I will dare to close my eyes in the future." Worry is useless.
When Zao Zao saw this, he didn't say more about it.
Yuxi changed the subject: "Zhanghua Palace is still empty. Take Changsheng and Tingsheng to live in it. After the Lantern Festival, let Changsheng and Tingsheng move out." Tingsheng spent the New Year in the palace.
Zaozao hesitated and said, "Mother, isn't this inconvenient?" Changsheng was already a young man, and he was afraid of being criticized if he lived in the palace for such a long time.
"It's okay now, it's really not convenient after the draft." In the future, it is really not convenient for a young man such as Changsheng to live in the harem. As for Yin Tiantian, it was ignored by Yuxi.
Hearing this, Zaozao readily responded. Turning around, let Changsheng and Tingsheng pack their things and enter the palace.
When sleeping at night, Tan Aoshuang and Qi Hao said: "The eldest sister came back, and the father is in a very good mood. He has eaten half a bowl of rice." The Emperor Rui was also very happy when he came back, but he was not so excited.
"Daddy hurts the eldest sister the most." When he said this, Qi Hao's expression was very calm.
"The Supreme Emperor loves the eldest sister the most, and who does the queen love the most?"
Qi Hao smiled and said: "Everyone says that the queen loves me the most, but in fact the queen treats our siblings the same." It's just because he is the heir, and spends the most effort and time on him.
"Well, when King You was a child, wouldn't you say that the father and the queen were partial?" The reason why he specifically said Qiyou is because he knows that Qiyou is the most difficult to do, and it is also the most worrying.
After that, Tan Aoshuang added: "Like Jingshu, I said that I gave birth to brother Bang, so I don’t care about her anymore." It’s just that when Yuxi talked to her last time, she also seriously reflected on herself, and then corrected it. . Jing Shu said this to her later.
Qi Hao remembered what happened when he was a child, and a smile appeared on his face: "I would say that I have been yelling about my father’s eccentric eldest sister and second sister. He always complains to me that other people’s fathers love their sons and dislike their daughters, but father On the contrary, he likes his daughter, and the son scolds and fights as if he was picked up." Qiyou never said that Yuxi was partial, so she yelled at Yun Qing for partiality. Even now, he thinks so.
Tan Aoshuang asked hurriedly, "Did Father beat you?"
"I'm so good, how could my father beat me? A Rui and the others are always doing bad things, and dad beat them up in a hurry." After that, Qi Hao laughed: "In fact, the eldest sister was more skinny than Ayou when she was a child. My mother was often so angry that she beat her with a feather duster. The eldest sister once did a bad thing, and was afraid that her mother would beat her and would not be able to climb down the tree, so she beat her fiercely with anger."
It was the first time that Tan Aoshuang heard of these things, and was very happy now: "I didn't expect my eldest sister to have such a skinny time." The Pingxi Palace was very strict under Yuxi's management. Nobody outside has heard of things like this.
The couple babbled for a while before they fell asleep. Not long after waking up, I heard the heart-piercing cry of the child.
Tan Aoshuang pushed Qihao down and said, "Brother Yang is awake, the emperor, go and have a look."
Qi Hao glanced at Tan Aoshuang in surprise.
Tan Aoshuang smiled and said: "The last time my mother asked me, did you change the diapers and take a bath for Brother Sheng, I said no. Mother said, you are not qualified to be a father, so I don't want to be used to you. "
When Qi Hao heard this, he resigned himself to his fate, put on a piece of clothing and went to the next room.
Tan Aoshuang looked at his back and smiled, and then followed him.
Brother Sun pulled it, Qihao had no experience, and changing his diapers made his hands smelly. It took a long time to change the diaper.
The maid brought water over, and Qi Hao changed the water three times and felt a smell in his hands. Even so, he didn't dislike his son, and said to Tan Aoshuang: "Take him to bed to sleep" so as not to always get up to breastfeed, which is tiring. You should know that Tan Aoshuang got up to do it when he peeed or was hungry before.
If it had been before, Tan Aoshuang would definitely refuse to interrupt Qihao's rest. But now, she has also learned well, smiling and nodding in response: "Okay."
Brother Xun had enough food and drink, and slept soundly. Qi Hao touched his son's face and asked, "When you are full, you will sleep, just like a pig."
"Brother Yang is very well-behaved, he only needs to get up once a day at night." So Tan Aoshuang took him more easily.
Qi Hao said, "When Brother Sheng was a child, he got up a lot at night."
"Yes, I have to get up three times every night or when I am a brother." The three children Jingshu are best to bring. After the full moon, they will sleep until dawn. Tan Aoshuang still feels that the girl loves people for this reason.
The couple talked about having children again, and then fell asleep.
At this time, Yun Qing and Yuxi were not even old, and they felt that they were too few.
Yun Qing and Yuxi muttered: "Zaozao and Qirui have both returned, and now it’s Liu'er. I always say if I write back and I don’t know if it’s really good." Without Liu'er, it’s not a family. reunion.
Yuxi knew that Yun Qing missed Liu'er: "Or, after the beginning of spring, we will go to Fujian to see Liu'er." She hasn't seen each other for a few years, and she misses Liu'er and Jiaojiao very much.
"good."
After the New Year, Zaozao told Qihao one thing, that she wanted to form a female soldier.
Qi Hao heard this and asked, "Sister, do you think you can recruit female soldiers?"
The idea that women have to marry at the age of seventeen or eighteen is deeply ingrained. Not to mention that if you are a soldier, you will die. The casualty rate in Tongcheng is very high. Many men are reluctant to be soldiers and want to avoid military service, let alone women. The hard work of being a soldier, several women have endured such hardship. Of course, jujube is an exception. But ordinary women would not drop soldiers unless they had nowhere to go.
Zaozao said confidently: "I will definitely be able to recruit female soldiers. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the court will not admit that they will not pay military salaries." Therefore, Qihao must agree to this matter, she said. Can just let it go.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "As long as you can recruit people, rations and equipment are not a problem." Even if Zaozao can recruit female soldiers, this number won't be many.
After finishing speaking, Qi Hao said again: "However, the recruited female soldiers must serve until the age of twenty-five." You can't marry and give birth to children after they are trained.
"This is no problem." After twenty-five years old, it is not too late to want to marry. You can stay in the army if you don't want to marry.
Jujube is very picky and caress about. But he was very generous to the disabled soldiers below. Not only did the doctor ask them to see a doctor, the medical expenses were also covered, and the difficulties in life were also solved without saying a word.
From Ren Tongcheng to the present, but more than a year, the dates have spent tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Others always think about saving more family business for their children and grandchildren, but Zaozuo has no such idea. She felt that her son had the ability to earn money to support his family, and if he didn't have the ability, it would be better to eat chaffy vegetables.
Zaozao's behavior was loved and supported by the soldiers below, but Wu Jinyu was unwilling.
Wu Jinyu didn't want the family property back then, but he took the family property only thinking about saving for longevity. Now, Zaozao is such a prodigal, how he wants to.
Wu Jinyu, who has always been obedient to Zaozao, quarreled with Zaozao over this matter. Finally, the husband and wife reached an agreement that the part of the property that Wu Jinyu inherited from the Wu family would not move, leaving it to the three longevity brothers, so that what she earned could be at her disposal.
After talking, Zaozao said: "Ahao, I will be back to Tongcheng again in a few days. My parents, all depend on you to take care of." When her parents are old and need to be taken care of, but she is not by her side, Zaozao is very embarrassed about this. .
Qi Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of my parents." This was originally what he had to do.
