Chapter 275: The end of the year (three)

Rizhao is more than 150 miles away from Yizhou. Wang Lusheng came out at the 17th day of the 12th lunar month and entered Yizhou City at noon on the 19th.

After finding an inn and asking for a few rooms, Wang Lusheng sent his adopted son Guo Quanyou to Daotai Mansion to deliver a message. He called the inn staff here and told him to ask the kitchen to make some wine and food.

After giving the guy a piece of silver, he waved his hand to ask him to go out, Wang Lusheng put down his face, turned around, looked at the little boy sitting by the Eight Immortals table, and hummed vigorously.

The young man was grabbing a handful of peanuts and peeling them into his mouth. Seeing Wang Lusheng glaring at him, he immediately stood up from his seat, smiled and hit his shoulder hard, and said, "Dad, don't bother me! You don't know, my aunt was like a weight, forcing me to embroider the flowers!" Speaking of this, her face looked pitiful and sad, fiddling with a few fingers, reached in front of Wang Lusheng, and said, "Look at my fingers, it will be spoiled in another two days!"

The expression of the little daughter's posture is not as good as a boy. She is obviously a little girl. She is not someone else, but Wang Lusheng's eldest queen Wang Jingjing. The aunt she mentioned is her stepmother Wu, because she is a biological aunt, she did not change her words after entering the door.

When Wang Lusheng heard her say pitifully, although his heart was less angry, his face was still dark and scolded: "Look at what you are like? Isn't your aunt still for your own good? She's still so naughty!"

Although she has always been rude to her son, Wang Lusheng is quite doting on this daughter who looks like her deceased wife. Even if she acts willful this time and pretends to be a servant and follows the car, in addition to being a little annoyed, he is more afraid that his daughter will be tired of being cold.

Seeing her so arrogant look, Wang Lusheng glared at his daughter and said, "Why don't you sit down honestly. I will take you to find a ready-made clothing shop tomorrow and change your outfit. Since you are here, my father will take you to Mr. Cao and Grandma Cao to treat you to Mr. Cao."

Wang Jingjing sat obediently, rolled her eyes and asked with a smile: "Dad, the Cao family you want to take me to, can you ask Quanyou to deliver the New Year's goods a few times? What kind of relatives are we? Why don't I know?"

Wang Lusheng said: "Silly daughter, there are not necessarily only relatives in this world. Some families, even if they are not relatives, have to be well-off. Master Cao saved his father's life, otherwise his father would have been gone long ago!"

When Wang Jingjing heard her father say this, she nodded vigorously and said, "That's a good person. When my daughter meets her, she will kowtow to her benefactor!"

While the father and daughter were talking, the inn guy had already brought the wine and food.

Because they were about to wait for Guo Quanyou to come back, they did not move their chopsticks and sent a follower to meet him out of the door.

After a while, Guo Quanyou came back, and Wu Mao, the manager of the Daotai Mansion, was accompanied by Wang Lusheng. Although Wang Lusheng's reply read that he would come to Yizhou the next day, Cao Yong knew that Wang Lusheng would not come to Yizhou temporarily, and there might be something important. Because in the letters that came with the New Year ceremony a few days ago, Wang Lusheng still said that everything was safe.

It was the Little New Year, and every household was busy. Wang Lusheng went to Yizhou in person, which was too abnormal.

Wu Mao had met Wang Lusheng. After asking, he conveyed his master's meaning: "Master Wang Qi, my uncle said that since he is here, why do you need those politeness? The mansion has already purchased food and food to welcome Master Qi, and also invite Master Qi to appreciate his face! If the uncle hadn't had his legs and feet now, and it was inconvenient to leave the mansion, and it seemed eye-catching, the uncle would have come to greet Master Qi in person!"

Wang Lusheng stood up and heard it, but was quite surprised. He turned his head and asked Guo Quanyou, "What's going on? A few days ago, you said that you came to pay your respects to Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao's expression was fine and there was no big deal. I think what the outside world said about recuperation may not be true? Mr. Cao is..."

Guo Quanyou was also confused and looked at Wu Mao for help. Wu Mao hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Qi, our master is just a little inconvenient. Last time, Quan's brothers came, and our master sat and talked. How could he see? Our master is fine, Master Qi, please rest assured."

How could Wang Lusheng feel at ease? He glared at Guo Quanyou fiercely and said to Wu Mao: "Even so, let's go quickly. I didn't see Mr. Cao with my own eyes. I feel really unsure!" At this point, he was about to go to the door, took two steps, but stopped. He thought about it and asked, "Manager Wu, why did Mr. Cao hurt his leg? I listened vaguely, saying that Mr. Cao and the Mengyin Du family were a little unhappy, and that was it that those guys made a fuss?"

Wu Mao was stunned when he heard this. The people he knew about Cao Yong's attack in Mengyin were not very wide. Wang Lusheng was far away in Rizhao, so how could he know about Mengyin?

After Wang Lusheng asked, he noticed his words and explained: "To be honest, the Du family is the seventh-old cousin, and the two families also have some contacts, so they can know some news!"

Wu Mao suddenly realized that Wang Lu was born in Yizhou to walk around for this marriage. Although he knew that the Du family had escorted Jinan Mansion, even if his uncle was afraid, he would not speak, but he did not say anything, but just asked Wang Lusheng to go to Daotai Mansion.

Wang Lusheng nodded. Just as he was about to go out, someone around him whispered: "Dad, I forgot me!"

Then I remembered that my daughter was still there. Wang Lusheng looked at her servant dressed in a coarse cloth jacket, which was not as if she was a guest, so he said, "You are waiting here, Dad will treat Mr. Cao to the end of his care, and come back after he said the words." He was worried that she would stay here, so he told Guo Quanyi to stay.

Wu Mao advised: "Seventh Master, even if the daughter is coming, we should go with each other. In the Yizhou area, our uncle has had a relationship with these families, so why should we meet with you? If you save the old man for a while, you will have to send someone to pick you up again. Whatever you have to do is to make trouble, you will be fine, so let's go with you together!"

After hearing this, Wang Jingjing smiled and smiled. Wang Lusheng said, "Since it was Manager Wu who said this, you should go with your father to pay tribute to Mr. Cao and Grandma Cao's family. There is no rule without rules!"

Wang Jingjing responded happily and said, "Well, I know, dad!"

Although she had to take her daughter with her, it was not easy to let her go as if she was neither male nor female. Wang Lusheng asked the inn staff in detail and knew that there was a ready-to-wear shop nearby, so he took her daughter there to change her makeup.

Daotai Government Office, inner house.

Azuki came to the room and asked where the reunion dinner for Xiaonian was placed. Chu Yu was taking care of Wu'er and coaxed her to drink a few sips of sesame paste. Seeing that she was having a hard time eating, she was afraid that she would starve her to death, so she had to uncover her clothes and breastfeed her a few sips.

These days, Tianyou, the Liu family’s milk, was because Chu Yu was frightened a few days ago.

Seeing that her body was almost conditioned, Zi Jing still had to take Wu'er, afraid that she would not be able to come, so she asked, "Princess, do you want someone to find another breast for the fifth girl? This is not a solution!"

Chu Yu sighed, with a little hesitation on his face and did not respond immediately.

Seeing that Wu'er had eaten almost the same food, Chu Yu put her on the kang and reached out to get her clothes, but her sleeves were tightly held by Wu'er. Seeing Wu'er sitting on the kang wearing a small flower jacket, very well-behaved, Chu Yu smiled and said, "Wu'er, aren't you full yet? After a while, I'll drink half a bowl of batter with my sister-in-law?"

Wu'er is nearly two birthdays and has already started to learn to speak. Seeing Chu Yu laughing, she let go of her little hand, grinned and then laughed twice, then called out: "Mom!"

Chu Yu didn't listen to it at first, just thought it was her call to "touch". After getting ready, she touched Wu'er's head and said with a smile: "Wu'er is good, I'm full, should I go to sleep? Or let Xiyun take you to the west room to find my nephew to play with?"

Wu'er stretched out two small hands and hugged Chu Yu's arm, "Mom", "Mom" kept calling.

When Chu Yu and Zi Jing heard this, they looked at each other and felt sad when they remembered Wu'er's life experience.

Chu Yu reached out and took Wu'er back to his arms, saying to Zijing: "Sister Zijing, although some children pinch their breasts late, they are not as strong as those who eat. Although Wu'er is having a hard time eating now, she is willing to eat more and more. You don't need to find her breasts, I'll take her for a while!"

After saying that, Chu Yu's face inadvertently showed some sadness. Azure only thought she felt sorry for Wu'er and enlightened him: "The princess should not be sad. If you have the care of the uncle and the princess, the fifth girl will be blessed in the future!"

Chu Yu nodded with a smile, touched Wu'er's little face, and said, "Although she is a sister-in-law, she is much older than Tianyou. She is not weaned. She only thinks that her daughter is in love with her daughter!"

Seeing that she didn't mention Tianyou, Zi Jing was puzzled and asked, "Why don't the princess take care of herself?"

It’s not her fault for being confused. As early as when Tianyou was born, Chu Yu said he wanted to breastfeed his child, but Madam Ye and the others tried to persuade her many times, but she didn’t change her mind. Now, why?

Chu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Zijing doesn't know. Since she went back to the south, the prince often looked at Tianyou in a daze. Although he didn't mention it, I also saw his thoughts, as if he wanted to send Tianyou to the side of the master and wife in the south!"

Cao Yong was filial and knew that Mei Jing also knew that if she was afraid that her parents would be lonely when they were old, it would not be uncommon to send her son back. However, she also watched Tianyou’s birth, and the pain was so painful that she put her heart in her heart. Naturally, she knew that the princess’s reluctance was much better than her.

However, Zi Jing thought that the old man had always been a sympathetic person and would not be cruel to let the princess separate from Xiao Tianyou. Therefore, she comforted him: "Princess is lenient, the old man has always cared about the princess. Even if he had this idea occasionally, it might not be like this!"

Chu Yu nodded and said, "I know that the prince is soft-hearted, but I have thought about it all these days! The prince is the only son in the family, and the master and his wife are old again. I should have served the prince in front of the master and his wife to fulfill his filial piety. Now I am far away in Shandong and cannot be with the two elders. Not to mention the prince's concern, even I am very uneasy. Sending Tianyou back and taking good care of the master and his wife on our behalf is also a proper way!"

*

Korqin grassland, Kezuohou Banner, and the residence of the Duoluo Prince Nomour Hetu.

"Brother, try this." Dorogogaboya is in a completely Mongolian costume, and her wide Mongolian robe cannot cover her bulging belly. She is already a wife. She still smiles like a happy child as a mother, holding all kinds of food on the grassland and pushing her brother Nersu tightly.

When Nearsu heard that her sister was pregnant, she specially asked her to come to Rehe to visit her. Now she saw that although her face was not as white as before, she looked healthier than before.

I don't know if it's because of my body. Baoya looks a little fatter than before, but her temperament is still the same as before. She speaks crisply and quickly, and is mixed with refreshing laughter, which makes Nersu feel relieved.

He picked a piece of milk tofu and threw it into his mouth, looked at the girl with a smile, and asked, "Look at you, are life okay?"

Baoya nodded vigorously and smiled happily: "Brother, the grassland is very different from Beijing. There are so many birds here, many of which are not worse than those in the Beijing bird market. Look at the feathers that are very bright! I haven't seen them before when I went to the grassland before. Now, Jiantian is watching, it's so lively! Also, I followed him to hunt, but I saw the fox condom that Sukhbaru told me in the past! I can really wear fox condoms! Unlike the hunting used to hunt, even if I shoot well, I can leave holes. After I put the condom, I peeled it well and didn't leave any marks!"

She suddenly showed a look of regret and said, "It's a pity that the foxes with fur are so tight that they are as smart as they are, and they can't even cover them. I took them a few times, but they are all bad. I originally thought of leaving a pure snow or pure red wind collar for my sister-in-law, but I never touched them."

Nersu smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law has less wind collar? If you have this kind of heart, she will be more kind. But you should prepare more big-haired clothes, and you should avoid being cold at this time."

Baoya smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, Baoya can't do it!"

Nersu has always loved this girl the most. Since the girl married, she has not felt so happy when she thought about the bitter cold in Mongolia. Now that she sees her life as comfortable as before, she feels much more comforting in her heart. He paused and wanted to ask how the prince treats the girl, but he is the elder brother, so he didn't bring a female relative here, so it's not good to ask the girl these things.

After thinking for a while, he said to the girl: "If you have been so happy, your brother will be relieved. If there is any bump in the future, even if the letter comes back, our princess cannot be bullied by others."

Baoya knew that his brother was caring for him, and when he heard this, he turned red with his eyes slightly, and said with a forced smile: "Baya is not a child either. I am just worried. Baoya... Baoya is not bullied casually." As he said that, he changed the subject and asked everyone in the capital.

Nersu remembered that his sister was also strong in the past, so he felt relieved and told the situation of the people he asked about. He thought that he would go to the Rehe Palace and return to Beijing with the Holy Lord, so he could not delay any further. After talking to the girl for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

Baoya was about to send her brother out, and Nersu hurriedly pressed her and said, "You are heavy, there is wind and cold outside. You should not move in the room, you are not a guest!"

Baoya couldn't fight him, so she had to stay in the house. However, after his brother left, he stood at the door and stared blankly at the direction where his brother's figure disappeared.

When the dowry came over and saw the personal maid Lingque, he hurriedly advised: "What's the trouble with Princess? It's worse than..."

"Stop talking." Baoya cut her face down and interrupted her, wiped her tears, and said calmly: "Go and make hot water, I want to wash my face."

The spirit bird bit his lip, said nothing, and responded and went down to fetch water.

Nersu and his group walked out and were about to reach the door. A quick horse was running out of the door. A servant turned over and panted and preached inside: "The prince and the concubine are back!"

The housekeeper who accompanied Nersu was stunned, then hurriedly said to Nersu with a smile: "Prince, my prince is back, you..."

Nersu smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, I should see you at first sight."

While speaking, more than a dozen riders came to the door to protect a carriage and stopped. The black horse led by him was immediately the prince of Heshuo's prince, Nomong Erhetu, and there was a little boy in front of him.

Nomonerhetu didn't pay attention to the door, turned over and dismounted, and carried his son down. Looking at his little face that was red from cold, he smiled and said, "Is it cold? Can't I ride a horse next time?"

The boy covered his face with his hands to keep warm and shouted: "Leng! But the father also said that we Mongolian men must ride horses!"

Nomonerhetu smiled and said, "Okay! Well said! This is my good son!"

The carriage curtain was lifted up there, and the maid first carried a little girl with a carved jade, followed by a beautiful Mongolian woman. Nomöerhetu hurriedly put down his son, walked over quickly, held the woman, and said, "Slow down." Seeing that the woman's cloak's hood was blown away by the wind, she put it on her and then closed it carefully.

The woman blushed and she said shyly: "Prince..."

Nomon Erhetu laughed and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of at your doorstep?"

While he was talking, a servant hurried over and whispered: "Prince, Prince Ping of the capital is here to see our concubine, now..."
