Yuxi was very depressed after Tu's death. The older you are, the less you can't afford to die.
Yun Qing offered to go outside to take a look. Going outside, Yuxi should feel better.
Yuxi nodded and said, "I haven't been out for a long time, so it's time to go out and go around."
After thinking about it, Yuxi said, "I have always heard that Fragrant Mountain is beautiful. Let's go to Fragrant Mountain for a walk." This Fragrant Mountain is named Xiangshan because the highest peak stalactite looks like an incense burner. Yuxi has only been to the capital for so many years.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Xiangshan will not look good until the end of autumn!" There are large tracts of maple trees in Xiangshan, and the maple leaves are all red at the end of autumn. At this time, it looked like a sea of fire, and it was especially beautiful.
"Go now, it's beautiful there too." There is the beauty of the end of spring in the end of spring, and the beauty of the end of summer in the end of summer. And this time she was mainly for kindness, and she didn't really want to see any scenery.
The old couple are going to visit Xiangshan for a few days. Naturally, this is something to tell Qi Hao.
Xiangshan was only a few dozen miles away from the capital, so Qi Hao would naturally not object. However, he offered to let the two princes go with them.
Yuxi smiled and said, "You can't delay the children's studies, just go there for the two of us."
After Qiyou found out, he ran to ask Qihao for leave, saying that he would accompany Yuxi and Yunqing to Xiangshan.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "As long as my parents agree, I have no objection." There is no way to be lazy.
Sure enough, Yun Qing and Yuxi did not agree to let Qiyou follow. Yuxi said: "You take a good job as a errand, don't go fishing for three days and two days with a net." This kid doesn't know who he is like, and he is not active at all.
Qiyou feels wronged: "Mother, I'm so busy like a top every day, you still say that to me. Mother, you don't feel sorry for me at all."
Yun Qing couldn't stand it anymore: "Such a big person, you can't speak well." People who are almost forty years old still act like a baby, and they really can't stand it.
Yuxi pursed his lips and smiled.
The three were talking, and Yu Sheng said outside: "The Supreme Emperor, Queen Mother, Gu Jiu sent a letter."
Along with the letter, there is a painting. .
Yuxi read the letter first, and after reading it, Qiyou looked at her eagerly, and immediately said with a funny smile: "Axuan everything is fine, you don't need to worry about him."
Qiyou stared at the letter and said, "Mother, you show me this letter..." He must read the letter before he can truly feel relieved.
It's been more than a year since the third brother left the capital, and Qiyou has been worried since he hasn't been able to contact for so long.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "You don't need to read the letter. But you can write to him, and I'll let someone take it to him later."
Qixuan was overjoyed and hurried to the study nearby to write a letter.
Yuxi asked Yu Sheng to unfold the painting, and what caught his eye was a fierce tiger.
Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun. Yun Qing saw the painting and immediately admired: "This tiger is well painted."
Yuxi glanced at it and shook his head and said: "I still lack a good time." Last year, Yuxi studied the paintings of many great painters for a year. Looking at this painting, I feel that it is a little bit worse. Specifically, I can't tell.
After Qiyou wrote the letter and came out, he saw this painting: "Mother, when are you interested in tigers? If you like it, I will send you a live one." The tiger on the painting is a dead thing, no Fun. Live is interesting.
"It hurts the people and money." After finishing speaking, Yuxi pointed to the painting and said with a smile: "This tiger was painted by Qixuan, what do you think?"
Qiyou was extremely surprised: "Mother, do you mean this tiger was painted by the third brother?"
After speaking, he looked at the inscription, and he was really a Qixiang layman. Qiyou was surprised and delighted: "The third brother's painting skills are so high?" He has seen Qi Xuan painted cats and butterflies before, and he has never seen such a good painting!
"When he comes back, ask him yourselves."
Qiyou heard this and immediately asked: "Mother, are you going to let the third brother come back? When can you get to Beijing."
"Not this year, wait for next year! Brother Bo's wedding, he is coming back to attend."
Qiyou heard this and asked, "Mother, did you lock up your third brother and let him paint?"
Yuxi didn't answer this, but said, "You should be a errand."
Qiyou took this painting and ran into the palace, and went to give Qihao announcing the good news.
In mid-April, Niti approached Qixuan and said something: "The sixth day of next month is the day when I will get married. I hope you can come and participate in the event, sir."
"Are you going to get married?" Niko had never heard of this matter.
During this period of time, he devoted himself to painting, that is, he practiced in his yard. Nico hasn't seen him for half a month, how could he have a chance to tell him about this
"Ai Hua is seven years old, and I am still empty at my knees!" He is so old that he may not be able to marry if he wants to marry if he doesn't marry a wife.
"Whose girl?"
Niti said embarrassedly: "Nika's sister, she is ten years younger than me." It was Ado who said he would marry Niti, and his family did not object. Niti was unwilling at first, thinking that Ato was too young. But later, he still agreed to the marriage.
Qi Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this: "What's the matter, Qiao Niang is nineteen years younger than me!" The difference is a decade or so, that's not a problem.
Niti heard this and couldn't help asking: "How old is Mr.?"
"thirty-nine?"
"Mr. Thirty-nine? Sir, did you kid me?" Niti is 27 years old this year, and he always thought Qi Xuan was about his age. Now that he heard this, one can imagine how shocked he was.
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "What do you cheat about. My eldest son is married, and will be married next year."
Niti felt wrong when he heard this: "You and your eldest son are about to get married, then Qiaoniang..." Qiaoniang is only in her early twenties, how can she give birth to such a son.
Ajia village is all monogamous, and men do not have three wives and four concubines. So Qi Xuan said vaguely: "My child and Qiao Niang's are also three years old."
Niti said, "So it's like this!" He thought Qi Xuan was a successor like him, but he never thought that Aunt Dou was just a concubine.
Qi Xuan immediately changed the subject: "I will definitely participate when you get married."
After sending the person away, Qi Xuan told Aunt Dou, "Go and ask Nico daughter-in-law, and see what gift you will give at that time?" These are the princesses who communicate with each other at home, and he has nothing to do. Managed.
Aunt Dou was very surprised, put down what she was holding, and went to Nigu’s house to ask about it.
Gu Jiu saw Qixuan and smiled and said, "Do you know why Niti came to tell you that he is going to get married?"
Qi Xuan was a little strange: "Is there anything else to say?"
Gu Jiu laughed and said: "Won't you forget the one-year appointment?" In mid-April last year, the two set a duel for a year later. And now, it's exactly a year.
Qi Xuan now has paintings in his mind, and he has forgotten this matter a long time ago.
"If you want to get a wife, the agreement will be automatically invalidated, otherwise, where will you leave the bride?"
Gu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Otherwise, why do you think he came here to tell you this? I will never covet your gift." Unless Niti doesn't want his life, I'm seeing him kill. Just like killing a chicken, how dare you beat Aunt Dou again
Qi Xuan said, "I want to give him a generous gift. Gu Jiu Uncle, what do you think should be given?"
"I don't know if you ask your wife." Renqingwang asked him as well, because he is not the housekeeper of Xuanwang Mansion.
Aunt Dou did not come back until it was time to cook. When she came back, Aunt Dou's face was full of smiles.
Qi Xuan asked: "What did you say? I won't come back for most of the day?" He wondered why this woman had so much to say when she put together a piece!
Aunt Dou said with a smile: "The master, Yi Jia said that Niti was unwilling to marry Ado at first. Niti said that he had too many Ados and married a wife, and he was not worthy of Ado. Do you know why Niti agreed later Marry Ado?"
A man chasing a woman, across the mountain. Female chasing male, compartment yarn. So Qixuan thought it was nothing strange.
Aunt Dou smiled and said: "Aduo hugged Niti and said that if he doesn't marry, she will marry and go to town."
This is not right: "Is it okay to get married to the town?" Ajia Village has inconvenient transportation, too scarce supplies, and money can't buy things. Although the town is relatively backward, it is much stronger than Agha Village.
Aunt Dou said: "The women in Ajia Village always talk about the same at home. Do you think this kind of temperament will make a good life in the town?"
Nigu’s mother is more frugal and eccentric to her youngest son, but she has never rubbed Yijia. But the people in the town were influenced by Confucian culture, and some men would also take concubines. The younger uncles, like Nico’s cousin, took in concubines.
Qi Xuan laughed when she heard this, "Niti likes her too, otherwise she will marry in the town or the county." Only when she cares can she be afraid of her bad life.
"That's right." After saying this, Aunt Dou said: "Yi Jia's sister-in-law said that it is the customs of Ajia Village. When you get married, there is no requirement for gifts except for relatives and friends."
Qi Xuan was a little confused, and asked, "What should I give?"
Aunt Dou chuckles and said: "You bought four pieces of cloth last time, and one of them was still red. Otherwise, we would give them the red piece of cloth." These are all fine cloth, and one piece costs two or two. silver. Giving this cloth as a gift is a great gift.
Qi Xuan hurriedly said, "Good things come in pairs, and let's send them together with the autumn-scented fabric!"
Aunt Dou was a little unwilling, she also liked this fabric very much, and she wanted to wait for the work in the field to finish making two clothes.
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "When I go to the county next time, I will buy you better materials."
"good."
Not long after Niti's wedding, Qixuan received a reply from Yuxi and Qiyou.
After reading Xin Qixuan, she was very happy, and said to Aunt Dou, "Qiao Niang, my mother let us stay here until the end of autumn and go to the county for winter this winter." Went to the county seat.
Aunt Dou hurriedly asked: "Then the Queen Mother said when will we go back?"
Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "No. But think about it, I should be able to go back next year!" As long as his painting is successful, his mother will definitely let him go back. So, you still have to paint well.
Aunt Dou was very disappointed.
