Zaozao combed the hair of the little girl who had just woke up, and asked softly: "The steward and helper in the Ci Kindergarten, how good are they to the children?"
Su Sanniang nodded and said, "The children can eat and wear warmly, and they are also cared for when they are sick. There are also many caring people in Jinling who will donate money and materials." The person in charge heard that Su Sanniang was literate, so she asked her to teach the children to read.
After teaching for a while, Su Sanniang also taught the children to sing and tell them stories. Now the little girls in Ciyouyuan like her very much.
Similarly, Su Sanniang also gained a lot here.
Yuxi combed the little girl's hair and wrapped two butterfly flowers on the two little girls.
The little girl tied her hair and ran out to show off with her friends.
After walking around in Ciyouyuan, Yuxi was quite satisfied with the environment inside.
For lunch, Yuxi stayed in Ci Children's Home to eat. Lunch is thick porridge, sweet potatoes, and a bowl of fried pork with potatoes. The potatoes and the meat stood half way apart.
Seeing the children's overjoyed appearance, Yuxi knew that they rarely eat meat on weekdays. But it's normal, and the money allocated by the government is at this level.
While eating, Yuxi called a five or six-year-old girl over and asked, "What do you eat on weekdays?"
The little girl nodded and said: "Porridge, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and sometimes bean rice. The dish at each meal is either pumpkin, winter melon or bean." This porridge is not rice porridge, but multi-grain porridge.
"Can you be full?"
The little girl nodded and said: "If you are full, it doesn't taste great." The quality of the taste is the cook's craftsmanship. However, with good cooking skills, people don't want to work in a kindergarten.
Yuxi asked the little girl many questions, and the child answered them one by one.
After lunch, Yuxi left a thousand taels of silver and said that he would make a meat dish for the children every three to five and then go back.
On the way back, Zaozao said: "Mother, this kid may have been taught by someone else." It was still an unannounced visit, which was more credible. These officials have known that they are in Jiangnan, and they must have done their best on the surface.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Looking at the expressions of the children, you know that she is telling the truth." The children in this kindergarten all have good faces. It can be seen that these children are absolutely not starving.
In Tzu Kindergarten, it is enough for those children to have enough food and clothing to be warmed and sick with care. No amount of it can be forced.
Zaozao nodded, and then asked curiously: "Mother, how did you meet that woman?" And listening to the two, there is a story in it!
Yuxi briefly talked about Su Sanniang, and said after finishing: "I am going to put her story as an example in the book." Even if she falls into love, she can't become a fool. Otherwise, once a man changes his face, the end will be very sad.
Zaozao said with an unkind expression: "Mother, you just let go of that grief?" If you change to her, you will surely ruin the opponent and make him regret coming to this world.
Yuxi smiled and said: "It has already caused him to bleed heavily, what do you want to do? Kill him? Even as a nobleman, you can't kill casually."
Zaozao said dissatisfiedly: "Six thousand taels of silver will spare this scum, it's too cheap for him."
"Why do you think Gu would marry her? You still don't want to become a wife of imperial court. But he will never be an official in his life." Even if Meng Sheng fails to pass the Jinshi exam, he can still be an official after he is well arranged. , But the starting point is lower than Jinshi.
When this hope was soaked and lost six thousand taels of silver, how could the Gu clan still have a good expression on Meng Sheng. Yuxi believed that Meng Sheng won't have a good life for the rest of his life.
Zaozao believes in Yuxi's speculation: "Hope!" She is a grudge who wants to kill the world, so that she can't harm the poor women. Unfortunately, this can only be thought of.
When Qiyou saw Zaozao's gloomy complexion, he hurriedly avoided the fish in his pond.
In the evening, Yuxi received a letter from Qihao.
Qiyou stretched his head and said, "Mother, what did the eldest brother write in the letter?"
Yuxi handed the letter to him and said: "A Hao said that Honglang's wedding date has been set, and it is scheduled for September 28 next year. In addition, A Hao also said that I hope I can go back to celebrate the New Year this year."
After speaking, Yuxi looked at Qiyou and asked, "Did you say something to A Hao?" If not, why would you say this in a decent way.
Qiyou shook his head hurriedly. What did he say to his eldest brother if he didn't settle down. Furthermore, he would like to play outside for a while! Back to Beijing, it was too boring to stay in Beijing all day. It's hard to tell, the longer you play, the better.
Qi Xuan stubbornly said: "I told Yan Xin in the letter that I might not be able to return to Beijing this year." In all likelihood, this was revealed by his wife.
Yuxi laughed, but didn't blame Qixuan and said, "We have been in Jinling for almost a month. How about going to Yangzhou now?"
Qiyou was the first to agree: "Yes! Anyway, it's not too hot to go to Yangzhou by boat." It is windy on the river, even if it is July, the boat is not too hot.
Qi Xuan has no opinion on this.
Zaozao disagrees: "Mother, it's too hot now, and your body will not be able to stand it." She thinks it's better to go overland to be safe.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Just don't come out when it gets hot. Moreover, Yangzhou is very close to Jinling, and it takes up to two days by boat to arrive."
But two days passed quickly. After thinking about it, Zao Zao no longer objected to it.
Five days later, the mother and son took a boat to Yangzhou. Knowing that Yuxi didn't want to be disturbed, the governor and the governor did not dare to send it off even though they knew they were leaving this morning.
The mother and son stayed in Yangzhou for half a month, and then went to Huai'an. Finally, Xuzhou entered the area of Shandong.
I didn't get to Jinan in November because I stopped and went. Therefore, the mother and son are preparing to celebrate the New Year in Shandong.
Upon receiving the news, Hong Lang said with some worry: "Grandfather, do you think the great-grandmother will not come back next year?" Qi Hao has already handed over part of the government affairs to him, so he is also very busy now. If not, go find Yuxi early.
Qihao also missed Yuxi very much, but saw that Zaozao and Qiyou said that Yuxi is fine now, even if they missed it, they did not urge them to return to Beijing: "Don't worry, your great-grandmother will definitely come back next September when you get married."
Thinking of Lan Ruoyi, Hong Lang also had some expectations. Regardless of her appearance, talent, or temperament, Lan Ruoyi fits Hong Lang's meaning very well.
Seeing him like this, Qi Hao was very pleased. After the grandson is married and beautiful, he can quickly embrace his great-grandson.
After the beginning of the spring, the mother and son set off to return to the capital. As soon as he checked into the inn in Baoding, someone sent a post saying that he would come to greet Yuxi.
Yuxi asked Qiyou with some doubts: "Ning Yuanyu? Who is that?" Although it was eighty-nine, Yuxi had a good memory. But she didn't have the slightest impression of this name.
Qiyou smiled and said, "Mother, Ning Yuanyu is the eldest grandson of his uncle. According to seniority, you should be called your cousin. He returned to Beijing from Yunnan to report on his work and happened to live in the post."
I am older and have a slower reaction. After thinking for a while, Yuxi said, "He is Fang Hui's eldest son, right?"
"Yes, my mother has a good memory." His memory is not as good as before. By his mother's age, he might be the same as his father.
Yuxi sighed a little, "Do the math, your uncle has passed away for twenty years. It feels like time passes quickly."
Qiyou was afraid that Yuxi would be sad, and said hurriedly: "Mother, my uncle is dead. This is a great blessing."
She didn't want to see the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, but her younger generation had to meet her. Yuxi said, "Let him come in!"
When Ning Yuanyu walked in, Yuxi looked carefully and couldn't help but shook his head gently. This child didn't look like his uncle at all, nor did he look like Yun Xu and the others.
Ning Yuanyu knew that Yuxi was living in, and he passed the post thinking that he was a junior. I was very surprised to hear that Yuxi wanted to see him. You have to know that for these years, Yuxi has been living in the country and has rarely seen officials.
When he knelt down to give a big gift, Yuxi smiled and said: "It's all from his own family, don't use these humility."
Ning Yuanyu said: "The empress dowager, the courtesy must not be discarded." After finishing speaking, he still knocked three heads firmly.
After Yuxi asked him to sit down, he asked: "I heard that you are going back to Beijing to report on your work this time?"
"Yes, the Ministry of War transferred me to the infantry battalion as a leader." Among them, Ning Yuanhang made great efforts.
Yuxi was very pleased: "If your uncle sees you are so motivated, you will definitely be very pleased."
Speaking of Ning Hai, Ning Yuanyu looked a little sad.
Yuxi had a small conversation with Ning Yuanyu, so he let him go back.
Zaozao looked at Yuxi not very well, and said, "Mother, what's the matter? Do you miss your uncle?"
Yuxi shook her head and said, "I'm thinking about your grandmother. My mother has never seen her, and I don't even know what she looks like." Ning Clan didn't even leave a portrait, and his temperament was from the Qiu Clan. I heard.
The biggest regret in the two lifetimes was that I didn't see my biological mother.
Zaozao didn't expect that seeing this, Ning Yuanyu even thought of Yuxi's sad past: "Mother, grandma sees you so happy, and Jiuquan will be very happy."
Yuxi shook her head and said: "Your grandmother married Han Jingyan, and it hasn't had a good day. I just hope that your grandmother will be reborn in a good family, marry a good man, and be happy with He Lele forever."
Zaozao hurriedly said: "Yes, it will definitely be."
After a few days, the mother and son returned to the capital. Before entering the city, I saw Yun Xu and Changsheng and the others greet him.
After entering the city, Hong Lang also came.
Hearing that Yuxi was about to move into Baihuayuan, Hong Lang said hurriedly: "Great grandmother, you still go back to the palace."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "No, just live in Baihuayuan Shu!"
Hong Lang said: "Great grandmother, the emperor's grandfather said that if you don't return to the palace, he will also move to Baihuayuan."
Yuxi laughed and scolded: "I'm still the king of a country, and he threatened his mother, and he's really getting more and more prosperous."
Zaozao helped Qi Hao say something nice: "Mother, you can bear to let Qi Hao be alone in the palace. Mother, if you live back to the palace, you should be with him." She actually hopes that all of her brothers and sisters will live together. , So lively.
Qiyou is also on Qihao's side: "Mother, we all live in the palace, how lively it is."
Seeing that her children wanted her to go back to the palace, Yuxi didn't insist on seeing her this time, so she obeyed their wishes.
Qi Hao knew that Zaozao and Qiyou hadn't lied to themselves when they saw Yuxi, who looked very good. She has been out for the past two years, her mother is indeed doing well.
Yuxi frowned and said, "Aha, why do you look at your face so bad? Didn't you say that you were asked to hand over part of the government affairs to Honglang, so why didn't you listen?"
In fact, Qi Hao's expression was so bad because he was ill a few days ago. I was just afraid that Yuxi was worried, so I didn't say.
Hong Lang took the words: "Great grandmother, the emperor grandfather let me be in charge of the household department last year. This year, I was again in charge of the staff department."
The official department and the household department were the lifeblood of the court. This shows that Qihao is already delegating power. Yuxi's expression only slightly eased.
While talking, Qi Rui walked in from outside.
Yuxi looked at Qi Rui's eyes red, and asked worriedly, "What's the matter?" It's not her daughter-in-law who is not in good health, right! But as far as she knows, Gao Haiqiong's body has always been tough!
Qi Rui said: "I had a nightmare yesterday, and I couldn't fall asleep after waking up." He was too old to sleep. After finally falling asleep, I had a nightmare so that I didn't dare to sleep again. After dawn, he narrowed for a while, but it was the wrong time to pick up Yuxi.
"What kind of nightmare scares you like this?"
Qi Rui didn't want to say it, but after everyone's questioning, he bit the bullet and said, "I dreamed that my mother was gone."
Qi Hao and others all changed their faces.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Dreams and reality are the opposite. A Rui dreamed that I was gone, proving that I can live for a few years."
Zaozao was worried, and quickly called two doctors to come over and get Yuxi's pulse.
Both imperial physicians said that Yuxi was in good health. As long as there are no accidents, it is not a problem to live for another ten or eight years.
With these words, the siblings are relieved.
Yuxi was a little tired, and went back to the bedroom to rest. When she woke up, she saw Liuer sitting by the bed.
I haven't seen each other for two years, and I feel Liuer is much older. Watching children grow old slowly is also a terrible thing.
Yuxi asked, "How is Xiaohan's life now?"
"Very good. The letter at the beginning of the year said that I was pregnant, and the expected date of delivery was in mid-August." She was originally worried that Feng Xiaohan could not think about it, and she was not lukewarm with Luo Yong. After seeing the letter saying that she was pregnant, she finally felt relieved.
After finishing speaking, Liu Er said with pleasure: "Thanks to the elder sister. If it weren't for her, Xiaohan might have not figured it out yet."
Yuxi smiled and said, "August is when the year is hot, and Xiao Han will have to suffer a lot by then."
I can't help it if I ran into it.
Liu Er said: "Mother, I just heard my eldest sister say that she and Qi Rui both moved into Ci Ning Palace to live with you. Mother, I will move in to live with you in some time!" That nightmare made Qi Rui's heart lingering. So after hearing that Zaozao was about to move to live with Yuxi, he also wanted to move into the palace to accompany Yuxi.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "How can you move to the palace by yourself and leave your son-in-law at home. From now on, you will come and see me every other time."
Liuer hesitated.
Yuxi smiled and said, "I will be busy in a few days too, without your company."
"Mother, what are you going to do?" Presumably, it's not a trivial matter.
Yuxi didn't say anything, but just sold it off: "You'll know when the time comes." nt
