Chapter 241: Cold

It is late autumn, with no clouds and little rain, the sun shining brightly during the day, and the sky is clear, but there is less warmth. Winter is gradually coming.

The wind blew, and the crabapple trees in the yard fell to the ground leisurely through frost. In the garden, the plants and trees withered, and only a few chrysanthemums, which were cold-resistant by frost, bloomed more beautifully.

Or because it is close to the seaside, although the temperature in Yizhou is warm in autumn, it is another kind of wet and cold in winter. I just feel that the wind blows on my face, which is full of greasy water vapor, which is very different from the dry and cold in Beijing. Even in the room, it makes people feel uncomfortable and I just feel that I can't stand the chill.

But the house here is not as hot as the capital, and only heated by kangs and charcoal basins. When Cao Yong considered the heating issue, it was already after Chu Yu gave birth to a child, and the major project could not be moved. Just as the kang in the east warmhouse was demolished a few months ago when he was mourning, Cao Yong and his people simply rebuilt this place, leaving several corridors under the ground, and a fire kang was built on it.

In order to remove the moisture, after the building was completed, Cao Yong asked someone to start burning the kang, and the underground corridor was filled with wood chips and other objects to ignite. He thought about waiting for the beginning of winter to let Chuyu and his mother live here.

After all, Jiangning was closer. On September 11, he sent someone to report the good news and came back on twenty-one. In addition to bringing back the gifts given by the clans there, there was also a letter from Cao Yin and his wife.

The old couple was very happy to hear that they had a Changsun. They wanted to come to Shandong to celebrate the full moon ceremony for Changsun, but because the weaving office was busy inspecting the tribute in early October, it was difficult for the chief officer to leave, so Cao Yin could not escape, so only Li came. He set off on September 18th and arrived in Yizhou on September 23rd.

My mother came here specifically, why did Cao Yong wait in Yizhou? The next morning, he took people and rode his horse along the official road south to Daxing Town to wait. After renounced with Li, he did not rest in Daxing Town, and returned to Yizhou that day.

Several yards in Daotai Mansion occupied, and only Cao Song's yard was empty. Cao Yong was unwilling to let his mother live in a side courtyard, and wanted to make them closer to each other, so he left his mother-in-law and settled himself in the study.

Li has always been a good-tempered person, and Chu Yu is also a sensible and filial person. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all day long are Tianyou. Occasionally, when talking about Cao Yong's childhood, Li was somewhat regretful because he was not raised by Li's side.

Li also agreed with Chu Yu's personal breastfeeding of his child, but because he was worried about his wife's body, he personally arranged to arrange some food for Chu Yu to feed him.

According to the customs of the world, children cannot name their names before the full month, for fear that the impermanence of the black and white will restrict their souls, so the nickname will be fine. Therefore, Cao Yong, a father, still does not know what the old man would name Tianyou. He asked his mother twice, but Li didn't know.

It can't be "闭", right? Whenever I think of this, Cao Yong feels like he is struck by lightning, but he is not so taboo. After all, he has not married a wife named "Ma" and has not died when his wife is pregnant. History has undergone subtle changes. At least the fate of his little man has changed. However, history records all the family affairs of the emperor. Who would care about the life and death of an unknown person? Even if he has a son named Cao Yong, he may not have had the experience of his family business withering, and wrote a wonderful book on the Red Chamber.

Cao Yong looked at the room, his mother and wife coaxed Tianyou, with joy on his face and couldn't help but feel a little scented.

This little guy is less than a month old and is much fatter than when he lands. He is soft and tender. Although Cao Yong pinchs his son's face or ass every day, he never dares to hold him in his arms. Because he thinks he is too small, he is afraid that something is wrong with the force, which makes him stretch his waist or arms.

Cao Yong was a father at first, and everything was strange, but his centrality gradually changed without realizing it. "If you don't raise a child, you won't know the kindness of your parents." This sentence is very good.

After having his son Tianyou, he seemed to be able to understand Cao Yin's feeling of scolding him with a stern face. It was him, who was spoiled by his wife and mother so much that he was spoiled by his wife and mother, and he thought in his heart that he would put on a "strict father" in the future so that his son would be spoiled, disobedient, develop bad habits, and become a playboy.

Unlike Cao Yong who thought of being a "strict father", the Thirteenth Prince in the capital smiled and looked very loving at this time. He put his legitimate son Hong Tsui on his knees, and used his chopsticks to hit a drop of wine in the wine cup, which made his son lick it.

Hong Tsu is less than two years old, with small arms and legs, wearing a neat little robe. After being so spicy that he sticks out his tongue and giggles.

The Thirteenth Prince couldn't help laughing when he saw his son's crazy head and mind.

The Thirteenth Concubine Zhaojia couldn't help but glared at her husband with anger and said, "Master, look at you, I feed Hong Ting this every time, and be careful to raise a drunkard son!"

The Thirteenth Prince didn't care, and smiled and touched his son's light forehead and said, "Good son, come on, call me well, I'll give you wine!"

Hong Tsun put two fleshy little hands together, arched them, and said angrily: "Ah...Ah, okay..."

Manchus emphasizes "holding grandson but not holding son". People like the Thirteenth Prince treat their sons, which are rare in the world. Zhao Jia smiled and wanted to make some jokes, but when she saw her husband's hair dots, she had a lot of white hair; the forehead lines on her forehead were getting deeper and deeper, but it was only twenty-six, but she looked like a middle-aged man. Where could she have the aura of a young man?

Zhao Jia's nose felt sore and she almost burst into tears.

The Thirteenth Prince fed his son a drop of wine with his chopsticks, and then smiled and said to Zhao Jia, "You have a cup too. I'm so happy today. I hope to add a little brother to Hong Tung this time so that the two of them have a companion. After the New Year, Hong Chang will go to the study room to study. Hong Tung has no brothers to accompany him, which is also boring."

Seeing that the Thirteenth Prince had just finished, Zhao Jia ate several cups of wine, touched her stomach, and said with a smile: "I know I am happy, but I have to drink it leisurely. Use some food cushion in my stomach first to save some pain."

The Thirteenth Prince nodded, picked up a taro cake for his son, then picked up a golden silk roll the size of a thumb, and sent it to his mouth. After taking a few bites, put down the chopsticks, and smiled and said to Zhao Jia: "Just count the days, Cao Yong's eldest son is about to be full of a month. I really can't think of what it will look like. Just don't be as dull as he is."

"Master, look at you, you can't arrange people like this. Didn't you praise Cao Yong for being good a few days ago? He and the big princess have both good looks, and I think they can't be wrong!" Zhao Jia said.

The Thirteenth Prince smiled twice and said, "Didn't you just received the money a few days ago? I was so happy that I lost two points of complaints about Xiao Cao. I ate all the Scorpion wine in the past two days and drank Mengshan tea. Isn't this just thinking about it!"

When Zhao Jia saw that the Thirteenth Prince was posing as if "My rogue is a scoundrel", she couldn't help but smile.

The Thirteenth Prince picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for Zhao Jia. He also filled his own cup. He wanted to say auspicious words for his wife's joy of pregnancy. However, until now, he noticed that the colorful auspicious flower and porcelain wine cup in his hand was given by the emperor's father when he was the prince. His heart was suddenly blocked, and tears immediately fell in a bunch of tears.

Emperor Ama, have you completely abandoned your son? But he was impatient to see him even when he met him.

Today is September 30th. The emperor returns to the palace and takes the Empress Dowager back to Changchun Garden. The princes in the capital, except for the Thirteenth Prince, received an order yesterday and went to Changchun Garden to welcome the palace together today.

Although Zhao Jia knew that her husband was not happy, he rarely saw him lose his composure. He was very worried and frowned and said in a low voice: "Master..."

The Thirteenth Prince only felt the pain in his heart, which made people feel hard and stiff. He became a stone. There was a sensation in his mouth. He really wanted to shout twice, spray out the stingy things in his heart, "sadness" and "self-pity" and other stingy things in his heart, and then be a casual old Thirteenth Prince.

In a trance, I felt a warm little hand stroke my face, "Good Ama..." Hong Tung's voice was very crisp.

The Thirteenth Prince woke up and pulled down his son's little fleshy hand. He saw his wife looking at him with a worried face. He picked the corners of his mouth and smiled and said, "It's okay, this wine is a bit overwhelming, it makes people confused!"

Zhao Jia originally wanted to hand over a veil and ask her husband to wipe the tears on his face, but he knew that he was so strong that he didn't point it out. He stretched out his chopsticks and picked up half of the fish, put it on the plate in front of him. While lowering his head, he picked up the fish bones, and smiled and said, "Hongshu can't say anything else. Just saying that he loves to eat fish is a true master's teaching!"

The Thirteenth Prince only felt cold on his face. He reached out to touch it, and then he realized that before he knew it, he was already full of tears. Thinking of such a cowardly look in front of his wife and children, he felt a little uncomfortable, and wiped his face randomly and laughed twice.

The atmosphere was a little cold for a while, and the Thirteenth Prince asked, "Didn't you go to the palace with your fourth sister-in-law to visit the nobleman in Qin? Didn't you forget to ask, isn't it serious?"

Zhao Jia replied: "When I was taking medicine, it seemed like I was not serious. Maybe it was just because of the season change. I saw that I was a little relieved and I was not energetic."

The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said to Zhaojia: "Didn't Cao Yong send someone to send some money last month? He sent the people from our mansion to buy two of the best old ginseng without paying attention to money. When the Seventeenth brother comes again, he asked him to bring him the nobleman Qin. The nobleman Qin has a low position and is not as favored as Wang Meng. I am afraid that it will not be a good thing!"

Changchun Garden, Arrow Hall.

Except for the Thirteenth Prince who had not received the order, the eldest Prince who had been banned for many years, and the second Prince who was crowned the crown prince, the other elder princes were ordered to wait here to see him.

The sixteenth prince thought about what he heard recently, and the situation of the crown prince was worrying, as if he had been scolded by his father before returning to the palace.

Let’s look at the behavior of other brothers in the hall. The third prince touched his beard and tried his best to calm himself down, but the joy between his eyebrows could not be covered. Although the eighth prince was slightly reduced, he smiled. He listened to the ninth prince, tenth prince and fourteenth prince and others saying goodbye to each other, and he talked a few gossips with the fourth prince next to him. The fifth prince, seventh prince and twelfth prince have always been uninterested in anything, and the conversation is just about to be the birthday of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager. The fifteenth prince married the princess' sister as the legitimate concubine and became a brother-in-law. The princes who had previously won him were also at peace and ended up leisurely.

Just as I was thinking, I felt that someone was pulling my sleeves. The Sixteenth Prince looked back and saw that it was the seventeenth Prince who was in a dilemma.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the seventeenth prince hesitated for a long time and did not speak, he asked in a low voice: "But what is the difficulty that I'm asking for help from you?"

The seventeenth prince nodded and whispered: "My brother wants to ask the sixteenth brother to tell the concubine Wang and ask her to take care of her brother's mother. Although her mother is not seriously injured, she relies on ginseng soup to treat her because she doesn't want to eat. The people in the Imperial Hospital are the most snobbish. Those who sent her to her mother's house are either a long time or absent. They are even ginseng beards, but they don't taste ginseng after being sucked for half a day!"

The sixteenth prince heard this and felt annoyed, frowned, and said, "These dog slaves are nothing. Not to mention anything else, the noble man is the biological mother of the seventeenth brother. They dare to be so negligent! If not, let's go to the Imperial Hospital to have fun. Brother, you want to see how old they are!"

The seventeenth prince shook his head quickly: "Sixteenth brother, don't! My mother has always been timid. If my brother really did this, I'm afraid he would cry all day long!"

While speaking, he heard the sound of whips opening the way, and Kangxi arrived.

The princes left a position for the crown prince in front of the imperial court, and then separated from each other according to the age of the emperor. Seeing that the crown prince did not come with the emperor's father, some people were secretly happy, some people were very disgusted, while others "have nothing to do with them."

Kangxi sat down and the princes greeted him. After he got up, everyone heard Kangxi say, "Crown Prince Yinreng, since his reincarnation, has not been eliminated and has lost the hearts of the people. His ancestors' Hongye cannot entrust him to this person. I have reported to the Empress Dowager and arrested Yinreng. I will issue another edict tomorrow to tell the kings and ministers!"
