As soon as the cold winter came, Yuxi could only lie in Cining Palace. At most, he would walk around in the yard, not daring to walk outside.
I am most afraid of getting sick when I am old. Once I get sick, I feel groggy and it takes a long time to heal. Even if healed, his body would be worse than before.
Standing in the yard looking at the thick snow in the flowerbed, Yuxi smiled and said to Qiyou, "Do you still remember your father making snowmen with you?"
Qiyou grinned and said, "How can I forget this?" Since childhood, Yun Qing has also piled up snowmen with them twice. However, it is hard to come by for a staid dad.
"In a blink of an eye, sixty years have passed." The old man was also separated from her.
Seeing Yuxi's sad look, Qiyou immediately changed the subject: "Mother, next year will be your 90th birthday. I have discussed with my eldest brother and they are going to set up a hundred tables." Life is rare in the past sixty years, and her mother is ninety. , That is a real old birthday star.
It's always the children's thoughts. In addition, it should be the last time I have lived my entire life. Therefore, Yuxi did not refuse this time: "You can figure this out!"
In the afternoon, Bingmei and Yuxi said: "The queen mother, the princess is sick."
"Why are you sick?" Two days ago, there was something wrong with the town government office, so Zaozuo went back. I said I was sick today, and Yuxi felt a little strange.
Bingmei smiled and said: "The princess said that it was blowing wind. I asked Yu Doctor Zhang, and Yu Dr. Zhang said that there is nothing wrong with it. You can get better with two patches. The princess is also afraid that you will worry about it. The maidservant will tell you. If you keep it secret, it will make Yuxi think more.
If that was the case, Yuxi still felt uneasy, and called Qiyou to come and let him take a trip to Zhenguo Gong's Mansion.
An hour later, Qiyou returned: "Mother, she was Xun Tingsheng and his wife when I went. That voice is full of air, so don't worry."
"That's good." The children are getting older, and all kinds of problems have appeared on their bodies. Fortunately, a few children listened to him, and after their thirties, they paid great attention to maintenance.
After saying this, Yuxi laughed and said: "Why does Zaozao scold Tingsheng and his wife?" Zaozao has a sturdy temperament since he was young, and he has accumulated a lot of power at home. The eldest daughter-in-law is okay, the following two daughter-in-laws are a little afraid of her.
Qiyou shook his head and said, "I didn't ask." How can I ask more about housework!
Two days later, Hong Lang and Lan Ruoyi came to greet them.
Yuxi said: "Hong Lang, you are thinking about my old bone, I am very happy. But in such a cold day, don't come here specially."
Lan Ruoyi smiled and said, "Great-grandmother, I would take a carriage and a sedan when I went out, and it wouldn't be cold."
Yuxi said earnestly: "Don't rely on being young, and don't take your body seriously. Anyanghou didn't pay attention when he was young. He ran to the mountains to hunt in a snowy day, but he was guilty when he was old. Women should pay more attention if they are on the body. The cold is too heavy for the offspring."
Speaking of heirs, a touch of sadness flashed in Lan Ruoyi's eyes. She has been married for more than four months, and her stomach hasn't moved. Zhou Shushen was a little anxious, she was afraid that her mother-in-law might give her husband a concubine if she is not pregnant.
Lan Ruoyi quickly calmed down and said softly, "Great-grandmother, I will pay attention to it in the future." Please An is definitely not less, but you should wear more when you go out. If you dress warmly, you won’t be afraid of freezing.
The young couple went back after having lunch in Ci Ning Palace.
Qiyou said: "Concubine Taisun is not pregnant yet, Hong Lang his mother is a little worried."
Yuxi frowned and said, "Lady Lan has only been married for more than four months, and the young couple are in good health. Why is she worried?"
"Mother, not everyone who is a mother-in-law is as reasonable as you. Looking at Hong Langniang's posture, if the concubine Taisun is not pregnant again, she may have to choose a concubine for Hong Lang." I want to marry his wife back then. I haven't been pregnant for three years. I changed to another mother-in-law who was anxious to get angry, but her mother never urged.
Yuxi frowned. If you haven't given birth for three to five years, it would be excusable for Honglang to choose his concubine. It hasn't arrived for half a year, so I panicked, it's too ugly.
Thinking about Zhou Shushen 20 years ago, and comparing it to the present, Yuxi couldn't help but shook his head.
Upon seeing this, Qiyou regretted a little: "Mother, I shouldn't have told you this."
"It has nothing to do with you." After finishing speaking, Yuxi couldn't help sighing: "The role of a woman seems to be to have children. If you can't have children, not only will you have no status in your husband's house, you will also have to worry that you will not be able to support you when you are old." It has to be useful if it's a son. If it is useless, it will not be peaceful when it is old.
Qiyou smiled: "Mother, there will be this day." That's what I said, but who knows that this day is the year of the monkey.
Girls’ schools start in February and have a holiday at the beginning of June each year; then they will have a holiday at the beginning of September and mid-November. In this way, it happened to stagger the hottest and coldest times. However, the annual enrollment is after the Lantern Festival.
Wenhuatang enrolled students this year, which has changed somewhat from previous years. Because Wenhuatang recruits special students this year, the quota is limited to ten. This specialty is not limited to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also martial arts and cooking skills.
Of course, this news actually circulated in the capital in October last year, but most people were dubious.
Zaozao asked: "Mother, it's just that the exams in each class must be good. But it must be approved by all five judges. Mother, is this condition too harsh?" Whenever there is a refusal, it will be with Wen. Huatang is out of luck.
Yuxi didn’t think there was a problem: “The students who can enter Wenhua Hall are very good. If their cultural classes are too poor, how can they keep up? In addition, since their expertise shows that they are talented in this area, I believe everyone will vote. With a fair and just vote." If you fail to be admitted, it can only show that the other party is not good enough.
And if the opponent is really good enough, and has perseverance and perseverance, he can become a talent even if he doesn't enter the Wenhua Hall.
Zaozao felt that the conditions should be relaxed. If not, I am afraid that even a talented student will not be recruited.
It took a day for Yuxi to relax the conditions. That is, if the candidate has two specialties, it is enough for each speciality to be approved by three judges.
Zaozao is a little weak: "Mother, this person is very talented in one aspect. Two specialties, where do you find such a person?"
Yuxi glanced at it, and Zaozao said with a smile: "Wenhua Hall has recruited special talents, and other schools will certainly learn from them. If you have the talent in this area, you won't be buried."
Because it was the first year, the news did not spread widely, and only female students from Beijing came to take the exam. Wenhuatang never lowered the requirements, so in the end only one student passed. This student is a girl from the Han family, but at the age of twelve she showed her extraordinary talent in poetry. The five gentlemen reviewed her collection of poems and passed them unanimously.
Although it is a collection of poems, there are actually only eight poems.
Yuxi also read this collection of poems, and then called Brother Hua to come over: "This kid is very talented, so I can train up a female poet who has passed down through the ages in the Han family."
Brother Hua didn't expect Yuxi's high evaluation of her granddaughter: "Don't worry, my aunt, I will definitely nurture her." The Han family can have today, that is, Yuxi's capable aunt was born. Therefore, the Han family taught the girls very carefully, not only letting them go to school, but also letting them get in touch with outside affairs.
Thinking of what happened when he was a child, Yuxi said: "The children in the house must be taken care of. Don't let them be left out."
After talking for a long time, Brother Hua saw Yuxi's tired face and said with a worried look: "Auntie, you have to take care of your body."
"It's already ninety years old, no matter how well it is maintained, it won't last a few years." Everyone has this experience, and the emperor can't escape. But Yuxi was not afraid, and it was good to be able to reunite with the old man under Jiuquan.
By April, Lan Ruoyi hadn't been pregnant yet. Zhou Shushen couldn't sit still, and wanted Hong Lang Nafei.
Hong Lang refused: "Mother concubine, Ruo Yi and I just got married not long, so don't worry about the offspring."
Zhou Shu was annoyed and said: "Your sister-in-law was pregnant for the first month after entering the door. She hasn't moved for almost a year, how can I wait?" The more Hong Lang disagrees, the more angry she becomes.
Hong Lang frowned and said: "Mother concubine, everyone's situation is different. Moreover, what the child minister wants is the eldest son." It is also because his father is the eldest son and the rightful heir, so he can be named grandson. . If not, which round will be the crown prince to get him.
Zhou Shushen was angry, but Hong Lang didn't want her and couldn't persecute him, but still said: "If she can't be pregnant all the time, are you going to never accept a concubine for her?"
Hearing this, Hong Lang's face turned black in an instant. These words seemed to curse him for not having a son. However, Zhou Shushen is his mother, even if she feels uncomfortable, she can only bear it.
Hong Lang said, "I will never take a concubine within three years." If Lan Ruoyi is not pregnant within three years, he will not be able to hold it. After all, he is the crown prince of a country, and his heirs are not only family affairs but also state affairs.
Let alone three years, she didn't want to wait for three months. However, seeing Hong Lang's expression ugly, Zhou Shushen could only end this topic. However, this does not mean that she gave up. It didn't make sense for Honglang, so she persuaded Lan Ruoyi.
Take the initiative to give her husband a concubine, and she is still in a situation where she has no children, when her mind is flooded.
Lan Ruoyi said: "Mother concubine, daughter-in-law listens to your Royal Highness." She couldn't stop the grandson to accept the concubine. But she herself would never do such a stupid thing.
Seeing Lan Ruoyi playing Tai Chi with her, Zhou Shushen felt a fire in her heart. Just about to start cursing, her head hurts again.
After taking the medicine, it was better to rest for a while.
Seeing Lan Ruoyi, she said with a cold face: "You go back! These days, don't come here again." I don't have to see her and get headaches again.
After they left, Zhou Shushen snorted coldly, "I thought she was really virtuous and filial? It was all pretended."
Hong Lang returned to the East Palace at night and saw Lan Ruoyi's eyes flushed: "Did the concubine mother tell you something?" Except for his mother, no one dared to make his wife angry.
Lan Ruoyi didn't hide it, sobbed and said, "My concubine asked me to persuade you to agree to the concubine, but I didn't agree. As a result, the concubine suffered a headache."
"How is it now?"
Lan Ruoyi said: "Take the medicine and take a rest. It is no longer a hindrance. But the mother concubine said, let me not go to the Palace of Kang during this time."
Hong Lang said indifferently: "The mother concubine told you not to ask for peace, then don't go. Stay at home and take a good rest." His mother, it's getting more and more excessive.
Lan Ruoyi nodded lightly. nt
