Chapter 175 Amethyst

When Cao Yong heard them mention Yongjia, he hadn't seen her for a year and a half after he went to Changping Zhuangzi that year.

After the drunkenness of the Hot Spring Village that night, he was supposed to be in a dream. The next day, the audience said that he was looking for him by the pool. Fang Jie knew something was wrong. Although he was not unfamiliar with Yongjia, he was embarrassed to ask a girl if she had pinched someone's face by herself, so she had to pretend that she didn't remember anything to fool her.

Ning Chun also remembered the trip to Changping. He had just married Qiuniang for a while. The two of them were inseparable and full of affection, but now they are separated by heaven and man forever and will never be seen again.

Yongqing was sorry for the girl. If it weren't for the marriage of the Long Live Emperor, the girl and Cao Yong would be considered a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they were very compatible. But now, I still don't know what kind of family the girl would like to have, and I feel a little sad.

For a moment, everyone thought about their own, and the atmosphere became a little depressed until they heard from the servant that a guest had arrived.

However, the people who came to the banquet arrived. The young masters of Zhaojia’s mansion, including the young masters of the cousin, came with Cao Song, and Hongshu, the prince’s mansion of Chun County, also brought two younger brothers to the house. The girl’s mansions are Jueluo Mansion, Zhaojia Mansion, and Chunping.

Although Chu Yu and Zi Jing wanted to make it lively, after all, the epidemic was over, and many people were killed and injured, so it was not easy to make a big fuss, so they only invited relatives from these residences and set up a few tables of wine and food.

When the foreign guests left, Cao Yong was already slightly drunk. Although his birthday passed every year, his mood was different from previous years. Before entering Beijing, no matter how he thought about it, because it was a child's figure, he was treated as a child. After entering Beijing, he was born in the grassland once in the grassland, once in Jiangning, and once in the present.

Back at Wutongyuan, after going out to clothes outside, Cao Yong sat on the kang in a daze. Half a year passed in the fifty year of Kangxi, and next year it was the fifty year of Kangxi, where was his father...

Chu Yu brought someone to bring sober soup and longevity noodles. Seeing Cao Yong's appearance, he asked with concern: "What's the matter with the prince? Are you uncomfortable?"

Cao Yong shook his head: "No, I just remembered my father and mother! There was a bit of drought in Jiangnan, and there were locust plagues in some places. If the weather was not good, I wonder what my father's health would be? And my mother, I heard that it was difficult to give birth when I gave birth to me. I had been struggling for several days. Today is my birthday and my mother's goodbye day!" Speaking of this, I remembered E Feilai again. Although I sympathized with his experience, I thought about it, if Li did not marry Cao Yin, then Cao Yong could not have been born, then he would not be able to resurrect in this world.

Chu Yu handed over the sobering soup, and after Cao Yong had drunk it, he put a bowl of long life on the kang table. Cao Yong was a little empty because he drank during the meal. Seeing that he picked up the chopsticks, Chu Yu hurriedly said, "Mr., you can't bite this off. You have to eat it in one breath!"

Changshou noodles are all the same rules. A bowl of longevity noodles is just a long noodles, and it is better to finish it in one breath. Cao Yong nodded and asked, "Did you make this by yourself?"

Chu Yu nodded and said with a little embarrassed look: "I thought about it for a few days, but I didn't know what to give to my husband as a birthday gift, so I made this bowl of noodles myself!"

After Cao Yong finished eating the noodles, Fang looked at Chu Yu: "I'm not a child, what's the point of celebrating my birthday? But I saw that you were muttering with Amethyst in the past two days and sent the woman out. What are you going to arrange?"

Chu Yu replied: "It was me who raised some silver and money with Zijing, and donated incense and oil money in several temples under the name of the prince. Not only did I save the dead souls who died of the epidemic in the past two months, but I also pray for blessings for the prince."

Cao Yong shook his head disapprovingly: "You guys, this is just a cheaper monks and improving their food! The sayings of gods and Buddhas are just fools of the people, so how can they be taken seriously? I told you a few days ago, but I just don't believe it!"

Chu Yu was a little uneasy, looked at Cao Yong's eyes and asked tentatively: "Mr. Isn't you angry with Chu Yu? In the past, the husband didn't say that you didn't have to stay at home all day. It's really inconvenient to go to other places. It's good to go to the temple to burn incense!"

Cao Yong said, "I'm not annoyed. I was originally afraid that you were too bored at home, and because of various rules, it was difficult to move around easily. So I said this just because I wanted you to go out with Amethyst to relax!"

Chu Yu tightened his hand tightly with his hand, with a little hesitation in his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he spoke, "There is something that the prince still doesn't know. Chu Yu doesn't know if he should talk too much?"

Xiyun brought tea. Cao Yong rinsed his mouth and saw Chu Yu in a dilemma, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You are a couple, you are a couple, what are you talking about? Look at you so solemnly, it's not a trivial matter. I'm curious, Chu Yu quickly talk about it!"

Chu Yu frowned and said, "It's the matter of Sister Amethyst. Since she recovered from the middle of May, she has taken vegetarian food! I advised her at that time because she said it was for the epidemic to pass as soon as possible and protect her husband's safety. Then our yard also took vegetarian food. Chu Yu didn't think about anything else! In recent days, the epidemic has been cured, but Sister Amethyst is still vegetarian food. I advised her again and again, but she just smiled and heard it. I don't want to force her, but I can't rest assured! Otherwise, Sister Amethyst might be unable to listen!"

Cao Yong nodded and said to Chu Yu: "You are right to persuade her. Although she has the idea of ​​practicing, we cannot support her. How old is she? She is thinking about how this can be done all day long? I will go to Kuiyuan to see her and talk to her!"

Chuyu took out the clothes and helped Cao Yong dress. Cao Yong called her to go with her, but she said she wanted to write recipes, so she went there differently. She just stood at the gate of the yard and watched him go away.

It was already dusk, and Cao Yong left Wutong Garden and came towards Kuiyuan.

The sunflower courtyard was originally named after the several sunflowers in the flower bed, and since then, many trees have been planted in the yard every year. Although the spring and summer are dry, the sunflowers in the flower bed are not affected.

Cao Yong stood under the tree with a flower plate of more than one person tall and a foot long. He thought that when the sunflower seeds were ripe around the Mid-Autumn Festival two years ago, he also learned to be a farmer. Compared with the present, he was also worry-free at that time.

"The uncle is here? Is he looking for Sister Zijing? Why don't he go in?" Huan'er came back from outside and saw Cao Yong standing under the flower bed at the entrance of the yard, tilting his head and smiling.

Cao Yong saw a small basket in her hand, with some silk threads and other objects exposed: "Why are you still doing this?" Because the four Zhucui Hair Rings are considered big maids, they are very leisurely in their responsibilities. Except for Cao Yong's objects, there are very few times when they are used.

Huan'er heard Cao Yong's question, but she was a little embarrassed and lowered her head halfway and said, "I am learning to do embroidery work with Sister Chai'er!"

Because Huan'er is the youngest among Cao Yong's servants, and has a naive and romantic personality, he rarely has such a daughter-like appearance. Cao Yong couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Before he knew it, the little girl had grown up.

At that time, my daughter's unmarried daughter's house did embroidery work except for the small items used by her own family, so Huan'er felt shy. Cao Yong also thought of this. Amethyst never did embroidery work, and there were few embroidery clothes on her body.

Perhaps it was because he heard the yard talking, and both Amethyst and Chai'er came out of the room, and they were a little surprised. Because Cao Yong rarely came to the yard here during his amethyst disease, let alone this time.

Although there was no one living in the room for more than half a year, it was still clean and neat, while Amethyst lived in the wing room. Chai'er and Huan'er brought tea to Amethyst, Cao Yong said to Amethyst: "I said that this house is empty and is also empty. If you feel inconvenient, it's better to clean up a yard. Now, it's better to wait until the autumn and winter seasons, it's better to warm up the room!"

Amethyst dressed in a plain and simple dress, describing the fact that she had lost a lot. After hearing Cao Yong's words, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at what the uncle said, who can still be frozen in our mansion? Not to mention that the supply here is good in everything!"

Cao Yong pondered for a moment and said, "I just opened my mind today, Amethyst, I have never regarded you as a slave. When I was in the old lady's yard, the first thing I remember was your care. Not to mention me, even when the old lady was there, I really felt sorry for you!"

Chai'er and Huan'er glanced at each other and quietly retreated.

Zi Jing was stunned, then replied with a smile: "Why did the uncle think of saying this? I know in my heart that the old lady and the uncle can't repay the kindness of me until I die!"

"What kind of kindness is not kindness, but not kindness, and whether to repay it?" Cao Yong couldn't help but feel a little impatient: "Look at what you are like now? In the past ten years, we have grown up together. Even before entering the mansion, you had any hardships, and more than ten years have passed! A hundred years of life, what is the point of suffering when you were a child? It is worth resentment and living a lifetime of sorrow? If you do this, then should I go to the temple to be a monk?"

"Uncle..." Zijing was startled. Cao Yong always looked good-tempered and rarely spoke like this.

Cao Yong said this and was already a little regretful, but then he thought about how he had advised Zi Jing a lot in the past two years. In order to eliminate her idea of ​​becoming a monk, he also thought of many ways and even stared at her diet. It was only two months since she was busy preventing the epidemic and did not worry about going to the mansion. She was like this again, why didn’t it make people annoy?

"April Jing, think about it carefully. If your parents are alive, will they be willing to abandon you like this? Even if they are no longer here, do you have no other relatives?" Cao Yong said this and suddenly felt a little sad: "What is the old lady and me? Before the old lady left, she was most worried about you. Do she treat you with half a leave? And I, really, really think you are a relative, and when you come to Beijing, I will arrange this for you first. Is that just for you to be able to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name with peace of mind? Isn't it that I hope you will be well!"

Zi Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I can save you all this from my uncle! It's just for purity, but I'm also tired of it!"

Cao Yong looked at Amethyst and said seriously: "Amethyst, I am not trying to force you to do something or forbid you to do! I just want you to think clearly about what you want! Although it is not easy to live, it is too boring to hide in the yard like this and spend your whole life with Buddhist scriptures! I am looking forward to your well, rather than slowly dying in front of the Buddha statue!"

Tears flashed in Amethyst's eyes, she pursed her lips, and couldn't speak for a long time.

Cao Yong took a deep breath and stood up: "Forget it, I will only advise you one more thing, people should live for themselves. If you feel that life is boring, then no matter how much others say it, it will be futile."

In fact, there was another sentence that he kept holding back and didn't ask, that was how sincere the Amethyst was when eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name was, and how much was for others to see.

Since Chu Yu got married, Amethyst's identity has been a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, Chu Yu is sensible and close to Amethyst, so he looks calm. Amethyst has handed over the keys and account books, but Chu Yu still entrusts all the housework to Amethyst. Although this is also a good intention, over time, some gossips are inevitable. Some villains say that Amethyst is used to being a "fake master", and has always "taken power", and is reluctant to let go, etc.

After hearing this, Zi Jing could only treat it calmly and could not do anything else. Until some of the words that were so vague that Chu Yu had a fierce attack on two gossiping women and asked someone to beat the board and drove them out of the mansion. It was better.

However, when Amethyst disease was absent, Kuiyuan was sealed. Except for Chai'er and Huan'er inside, only Cao Yong and Chu Yu could go in and deliver medicine. Then there was another gossip, but it was Amethyst who took advantage of her and "relying on her seniority" to control two little masters.

Chu Yu was annoyed and investigated the matter, but finally found out that the words were first said from Chu Yu's wet nurse, Madam Ye. After all, Madam was a wet nurse. Chu Yu was angry and was not easy to punish him. He immediately sent a letter to Prince Chun's mansion and asked Manager Ye to take Madam Ye over.

Although it was a matter of the second sect, Cao Yong also heard some of them and knew the mentality of those people. In this mansion, only these people who could speak were right. Even if someone was dissatisfied with Zijing before Chu Yu came in, he would not dare to slander him like this. Now, he probably had the intention of provoking and wanted to sell it in front of Chu Yu. Even if Chu Yu was very close to Zijing, he would be a mistress in the eyes of the man who started his son. It was a different plan.

Chu Yu has always been suppressing these things. Cao Yong was worried about Amethyst's face and was afraid that it would embarrass her if she was solemnly advised her, so he didn't say anything, but he was very worried that Amethyst would be restrained and became more and more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the harsh words were not answered. Cao Yong calmed down his emotions and felt a little uneasy about his impatience just now, so he said to Zijing: "I am just thinking of a way to take a job outside, maybe I can find a beautiful place. It's really annoying to stay in this capital. Even a person with a good temper like me is almost mad!"

"Uncle?" Amethyst's face showed concern: "Is it because the errand is too tired?"
