Chapter 978 Winter Moon
Chapter 978: Winter Moon
Although the relevant birthday gifts were given before today, the Sixteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince sent someone to give it to him. But today they came here in person and it was unreasonable not to see each other before.
Earlier, because of his true closeness, the Sixteenth Prince called Li a "aunt" and only changed his name in the past two years.
The name of "sister" is not right, and the name of "in-law" is really unfamiliar, and the sixteenth prince is defeated. If he can, he will not call him, but he will not call him. If he calls him, he will only call him "Madam" Li.
Because Cao Yong had sent someone to send a message to the second gate before, the female relatives of Lanyuan celebrated their birthdays avoided it, leaving only Li and Chuyu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to meet the two princes.
Thinking that the two noble people in front of him were their brothers and sisters, Li was a little surprised.
They are the uncles of their sons.
Could it be that they are bone and blood nature? Because they are uncles and nephews, they have the right temper and become close to each other?
Look carefully at them, they don’t look like their sons. Speaking of which, these two princes are younger than their sons. Think about the twenty-fourth prince in the palace, who is younger than Tianyou.
This messy seniority is a headache to think of.
Li decided to put all these aside, and did the same thing as usual, first ask the two princes to help him, and then ask the sixteenth prince about the recent situation of Wang Concubine.
Before obtaining the treasure of Korqin, Li talked to the Sixteenth Prince in this way.
In this way, the Sixteenth Prince was relieved of his restraint and almost blurted out his "aunt" several times while speaking.
The sixteenth prince and the seventeenth prince were going out of the city gate. Cao Yong ordered the mat to be placed in the front yard. In addition to entertaining the two princes, their followers were also popular, and they also allowed people to sit down.
Lanyuan, West Chamber.
This is Changsheng's study room, and the pineapple rice bookshelf is filled with various books. Although there are no rare rare books, I have almost bought all the new books published in Beijing Bookstores in recent years.
Such a study is not the only one in Cao Mansion. There are two small study rooms similar to the front yard and Kuiyuan. The books in these three places were bought in the same place.
Cao Yong is not afraid of children reading complicated books. He has more knowledge and broad knowledge. He is better than becoming a nerd with his textbooks when they see the sky.
He did not want children to become children of Confucianism, but to be the leader of hundreds of schools of thought.
Because the two princes came to see Li, Jinghui took her sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Han Jiang, and Jiang Jian's fiancée Zhong Lingjia to avoid this place.
Looking at the books halfway up, others didn't realize anything, but Zhong Lingjia couldn't take his eyes open.
Earlier, when she was in Li's room, looking at the quaint furniture and furnishings, she only knew extraordinary, but couldn't tell where to go.
She is the daughter of a country scholar's family. Although she knows a few words, her knowledge must be limited. She only knows that those objects are exquisite and can afford the word "good". She cannot explain how good it is and where it is.
If you want to talk about the bright surface, those ornaments are not as good as the "jewelry" of the country landlords.
She only knew that books were not cheap, especially such exquisitely bound books, which were even more expensive. When she was in her hometown, there were some books at home, mostly copied by her father and brother after borrowing books from others.
Changsheng is the youngest son of Mrs. Li. She had seen him in the morning. She was just a child and could have half a room of books. It can be seen that as my aunt said, the Cao family was a noble family.
The fiancé is in such a family, and I don’t know if it’s difficult or not? Although she has never seen her husband, she grew up listening to his stories and knows that he is a “chunks and kind-hearted” person.
I am just a country woman, what can I do to help my future husband?
Zhong Lingjia looked at the bookshelf so attentively, which attracted people's attention. Occasionally, someone looked over, but she was unaware of it.
But she is a guest, so others don’t ask for more questions.
Only the fourth sister is a real person. She only thinks she likes these books and says with a smile: "Sister Zhong has seen books that she loves in her heart? This is the house of the seventh brother, and it is difficult for others to make decisions. But this bookshelves not only have them in Lanyuan, but also in the front yard. My sister only remembers the name of the book, and then sends someone to Mr. Jiang and asks her to exchange them for her."
Zhong Lingjia nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Four, for your advice,"
While speaking, Xiuque picked up the curtain and said, "Second, fifth, sixteenth, and seventeenth, are out of the second door. The old lady asks the wives and aunts to go back to the room..."
The sixteenth prince and the seventeenth prince returned to the front yard, and the table was prepared almost the same. There were half a table of fresh vegetables, looking green and oily, which made people's appetites bloom.
The two of them ate sweetly, and without Cao Yong's request, they ate a round stomach and then took the chief to leave with the guards.
When they arrived at the city gate, the lieutenant guarding the city was leading people to close the city gate.
The Sixteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince left the city locally. When they arrived at Nanyuan, it was already dark.
The Cao Mansion had already ended after the banquet, and several female relatives returned to their own house. Cao Yong thought about the affairs of the Tong Mansion and moved to Lanyuan.
Mrs. Li was a little tired and leaned on the couch and let the maid knock her legs.
Seeing that her son was coming, she sat up and said with a smile: "It's so late, why are you rushing over again?"
Cao Yong answered immediately, and looked at the maids standing there.
Seeing this, Li knew that his son had something to say, so he waved his hand to Xiufeng and Xiu crane to send them out.
"What's wrong? But Master Sixteenth, Master Sixteenth has any instructions?" Li said with some worries.
After the Cao family entered Beijing, the families they had come and went to were more noble than before, but it also made Li worried, fearing that there would be any disaster or accident.
Cao Yong shook his head and said, "It's not because of this, it's because of the side."
He told the story of the Sixteenth Prince that Tong's wife Li Sier made a big fuss about Prince Yong's mansion, and finally concluded: "Even if my mother wants to go to the uncle's mansion on Dragon Boat Festival, it is not easy to take her sisters with her. Don't take them out."
With Li Sier's temper, she still doesn't know what to do, but she will be messy at that time and she will still be like a mess.
After hearing this, Li was a little embarrassed when he thought about Zhao Jia's efforts these days.
"Your second aunt wants your two cousins to go out to see the world. These days, Zhang Luona has been busy with all this. How can you say you can't go now?"
Li hesitated so much, Cao Yong saw her concerns and said, "After entering Dongyue, there will be more social engagements in various residences. At that time, I will take my two younger sisters, which is considered to be the time. My sisters are still young. When Chu Yu comes to filial piety, he will take them around the various residences, but it will be a small task."
Li thought about it and nodded...
The next day, Cao Yong was still at home and had a good rest for a day, and even Jiang Jian became idle.
He thought that he should go to the front door, and in addition to discussing the wedding date, he asked about betrothal gifts and dowry.
After Wu Sheng got the order to help Jiang Jian get married, he went with him and planned the wedding matters for him. It was almost the same, but now it depends on his parents.
The uncle in Zhong Lingjia's residence was not his own uncle, but his cousin, who was sixty years old, and when he saw Jiang Jian, he would take him to drink. Because he was a fellow villager and had a local accent, Jiang Jian only felt familiar and wanted to get close to him.
Because he was the daughter of a civilian family, there was no maid by Zhong. Only a widowed aunt accompanied her to the capital.
Jiang Jian mentioned the marriage with the uncle within a month, and then asked his aunt to speak.
When the old aunt arrived, Jiang Jian presented the silver box he brought. It contained 200 taels of silver, which was Jiang Jian adding makeup to his wife...
When it was the third year of junior high school, Cao Yong's vacation was over and he still returned to Nanyuan for a shift.
This day, it started to cloudy from midnight, and it started to snow in the morning.
It starts like sprinkling salt, then it is like pulling floes.
Cao Yong was in the tent, dealing with the official documents for the past two days. When he felt his wrists sore and got up and came out, in the afternoon, the entire station was shrouded in a vast white area.
"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest?" Cao Yong murmured.
After years of entering Beijing, he has understood that the capital city has been drought for ten years, so it is not easy to give it a good year.
In the imperial tent, there were charcoal plates placed in all corners, making the room as warm as spring.
Zhiran sat opposite Kangxi, with a game between the two. It was not Kangxi who was playing with him, but the emperor's grandson Hongli next to Kangxi.
Kangxi started to look at the chessboard, and after looking at it for a while, he felt dizzy and couldn't sit still.
The fighting on the chessboard was so powerful that Hongli and Zhiran were fully focused and did not dare to be distracted at all.
If they looked up or turned their heads, they would find that Kangxi's face was pale and afraid of others, and his forehead was sweating.
There was still fighting on the chessboard, but Kangxi was a little unsteady and his body began to tremble.
The first thing he found was Zhiran. When he looked up just now, he happened to meet Kangxi's scared face and was stunned.
Hongli followed his gaze and saw his grandfather's appearance, he immediately stood up and said, "Emperor Mafa!"
Kangxi nodded and looked at Hongli, who was full of attachment and worry, and became more and more fond of him.
"Huangmafa, are you feeling uncomfortable? Let's just send the imperial physician over here." Hongli said carefully.
Kangxi wanted to wave his hand and said no, but his body softened and he had already tilted to the side. Hongli hurriedly stepped forward and caught it, feeling a little panicked.
"What should I do?" Hongli asked Zhiran.
Zhiran's eyes turned from Kangxi to the entrance of the tent and whispered: "Don't be arrogant, the Mongolians are still watching!"
At this moment, Kangxi had woken up quietly and looked straight at Emperor Sun Hongli.
Hongli's tears fell, and he looked at Kangxi without saying anything.
Kangxi sighed in his heart and said, "I'm fine, I just slept late last night and I'm a little tired today. You guys go down first, I'm going to take a break."
Hongli and Zhiran responded and exited the account.
Not far away, I saw Hang Seng and a little novice monk there.
Looking at Hang Seng's face fluttering with the cold wind and his trembling style, Zhiran couldn't help frowning. He opened his mouth and wanted to say anything, but he couldn't say a word.
"The Fourth Master is out. Look at this snow, it's the most interesting thing to play snowball fights. The twenty-first Master asked someone to ask me, are we going to find them to play?" asked Hang Seng.
