Chapter 750 Warm Heart
Zao Zao sent three baskets of crabs, and finally arrived at Pickaxe City after four days.
Yuxi got the news and immediately went to the front yard.
When Aunt Quan saw Yuxi, her old face was wrinkled with a smile: "Princess, this is something the Princess sent back for you to eat." The Princess is really a filial child.
Yuxi looked at the three baskets of hairy crabs, all of which were fat, fat, green shells, white bellies, golden claws, and yellow hairs, and a smile appeared on her face: "This child, it's too wasteful." The shipping fee for these three baskets of hairy crabs will cost a hundred taels Silver is really expensive.
Looking at Yu Xi's expression, Quan Quan could not know that she was duplicity: "I will eat steamed hairy crabs at noon."
Yu Xi smiled, the palace kept half of the baskets, gave half of them to the Han family, and gave the other two baskets to the homes of the Feng family, the Du family and other generals who were leading troops to fight outside.
At noon, Brother Hao and Liu Er also came over for lunch. Brother Yu saw two plates of hairy crabs on the table, and said with a smile: "Mother, I heard that the eldest sister brought crabs back for us to eat on the way. Mother, the eldest sister only sent back a few crabs, nothing else. ?" He heard that there are countless delicious and delicious things in the south of the Yangtze River, so it would be too stingy to just send crabs back.
Yuxi turned her head and smiled and asked, "What do you want your eldest sister to give you?"
Brother Yu said: "I heard that Suzhou has top-quality tea, as well as Taihu Lake pearls and various silks and satins. Why didn't Elder Sister come back on time? Let's forget about other things, but this pearl is absolutely indispensable."
Brother Xuan asked with a confused face: "Why must there be no less pearls?"
Brother You gave Brother Xuan a stupid look at you, and said: "Pearls can be ground into powder to apply to the face, just right for my mother!"
Yuxi smiled: "I don't know either, when your eldest sister comes back, you can ask her carefully, or write to her later why she didn't come back with some pearls."
Brother Yu murmured: "Forget it. It's better for me to go to the street market and buy a box of pearls for my mother if I ask Eldest Sister." If you write to ask, you will be scolded; if you ask in person, you will be beaten; Nothing will be good.
Brother Hao heard this and said: "Mother, since the third brother has such filial piety, let him be fulfilled!"
Brother You didn't expect that his elder brother would help him, so he looked at Yuxi expectantly and said, "Mom, I can buy pearls for you this afternoon, okay?" The triplets will also go out, but not as many times. As much as Brother Hao.
Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes, but you can only go after you have finished practicing." It is a good thing for sons to be filial, but they can't let them think that they can avoid studying.
Brother Rui said happily: "Mom, then we won't come back to eat at night, we will eat outside." Although the meals cooked by Mama Bai are delicious, the snacks outside are also special.
Yu Xi smiled and nodded, "You can't leave your homework until tomorrow, you have to come back and do your homework before dark."
Brother You wanted to go out early, so he discussed with Master Gong, hoping to finish class half an hour earlier today. Master Gong didn't agree, Brother You thought for a while and said, "Master, do you think this is good? Let us leave half an hour early today, and make up for it tomorrow."
Master Gong actually likes Brother Yu very much. Although he is naughty, this kid is smart: "What are you going to do when you leave half an hour early?"
Brother Xuan said: "We are going to buy pearls for mother."
Brother Yu hastily added: "My mother knew about this, and she also agreed to let us go out to buy pearls." If mother didn't agree, Master Gong would definitely not let them go out.
After confirming that this was true, Master Gong agreed very readily: "Yes, get out of class ends half an hour earlier today." The three children are filial, and he, the master, is also happy to watch.
As soon as it got dark, the triplets came back. The three brothers held a small box and said cheerfully: "Mother,
Here are the pearls we bought for you. "
Opening the box, Yuxi looked at the pearls inside and asked with a smile, "How much did you pay for it?" This box of pearls is definitely not cheap.
Brother Xuan said: "Mother, the boss offered 1,000 taels, and my younger brother countered the price to 600 taels." The three of them gathered together, and six hundred taels was still no problem.
Yuxi showed a surprised expression on purpose, and said, "Yo, my Ayou still bargains? Who did you learn this from?" The boss must know their identities for lowering so much.
Ayou also said proudly: "Eldest sister said to go shopping, let's cut half the price first. But the shopkeeper at 500 taels won't sell it, so I can only add another 100 taels. Mother, let sister Meilan take it for you." You grind the powder and apply it later.”
Yuxi shook her head and said, "Powders are made of flawed or small pearls. The pearls you bought are not only big but also very round. They can be used as bracelets or jewelry."
Brother Yu shook his head and said, "Mom, these pearls are too small to make bracelets look good. When I grow up, I will find bigger and brighter pearls to make bracelets for you. You can use these to grind powder and apply to your face." !"
This remark made Yuxi very useful, and Yuxi smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line: "You filial mother is very happy, but you can't spoil things." The biggest pearl in this box is as big as a thumb , It is too wasteful to take it for grinding.
Brother Yu changed quickly, and said: "Since I gave it to mother, mother decides what to do with it."
The triplets soon went back to the house to do their homework. Yu Xi handed the pearls to Pinellia, and said: "Pick out some of the pearls inside to make strings." Yu Xi usually does not wear jewelry, but her son's filial piety is different.
Sister Quan said with a smile: "From the eldest princess to the fourth young master, everyone is filial, and the princess will be blessed in the future." With these six children, no matter how many women come, they are not afraid.
Yuxi was also in a good mood: "Yes! For them, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it." When she asked Yunqing to rebel, she also hoped to create a better future for her children. I don't want my children to be controlled by others.
There are children who are relieved, and Yuxi puts down the troubles for the time being. But the next day, Xu Wu's eyes were blood red.
Upon seeing this, Yu Xi asked, "What's the matter? Your eyes are so red, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xu Wu took the opportunity to say: "Princess, I know that I was wrong about Yu Cong. I have no complaints about how the concubine wants to punish me. I just ask the concubine to give me another chance."
Yuxi was silent for a while and asked: "You really don't want to go back to the barracks? Both Feng Dajun and Yu Cong have become generals with heavy soldiers in their hands. Are you really willing to stay in the palace for the rest of your life?"
Xu Wu shook his head and said, "I think it's good to stay in the palace." He never envied Feng Dajun and the others, otherwise he would have found an opportunity to be transferred to the army.
Yuxi said: "Let me consider this matter."
Hearing this, Xu Wu felt a little relieved. The princess is willing to consider it, indicating that there is still room for change.
At noon that day, Yuxi received another letter from Yunqing. But Yuxi didn't open it, and put it directly in a drawer beside her. These days, Yuxi didn't read any of the letters Yunqing sent back.
If it was before, Xu Wu would definitely ask Yuxi why she didn't read these letters. But he is still in the probationary period, and he dare not go any further.
Two days later, Xu Wu received Si Bonian's letter, and after reading the letter, he told Yuxi: "The Liu family attempted to commit suicide. was seriously injured, and Liu Shi was also forced to vomit blood and faint."
Yuxi raised her head and said, "Got it." If she was in Pickaxe City, she would definitely be reprimanded and punished for Zaozao's behavior. But this time, Zao Zao is standing up for her, and she is not strong enough as a mother, so she will be harsh.
Xu Wu said with some concern: "Princess, the princess' behavior like this will attract criticism."
Yuxi said lightly: "Zaozao will lead troops to fight in the future, and there will be more non-parliamentary." But with her here, no one can touch Zazao. As for gossip, as long as you don't care about it, it's useless to spread it fiercely. But Zao Zao is indeed a bit reckless, so I have to talk about it when I come back.
Thinking of this, Yu Xi's complexion suddenly changed, and she asked, "Did the lord beat the jujube after knowing this?"
Xu Wu hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, the prince only said something nonsense when he knew about it, and he didn't beat him or reprimand him." Fortunately, there was no beating, otherwise the princess would be even more angry.
Yu Xi snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.
Xu Wu said: "Princess, the lord should be back at the beginning of next month." He hoped that Yunqing would come back soon, so that the misunderstanding could be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer the delay, the more troublesome it will be.
Yu Xi hummed, but didn't say another word.
Zaozao looked forward to the stars, to the moon, and to Yuxi's reply, but in the end, there was none. Zao Zao murmured to Yun Qing: "Why doesn't mother reply to my letter?"
Yun Qing said: "Your mother must be busy." Not only did he not reply to Zao Zao's letter, but neither did he. Not replying to him can be said to be out of anger, but not replying to Zaozao is a bit unreasonable.
Zao Zao didn't believe this: "No matter how busy Mother is, she can't even have time to write a letter." After finishing speaking, Zao Zao said worriedly: "Father, do you think Mother will be seriously ill? I have no strength in my hands when I'm sick. The writing is different. Mom was afraid that I would be worried, so she didn’t reply at all.”
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "No, I received a letter from your Uncle Xu the day before yesterday. If your mother is seriously ill, he will not fail to tell me."
Zao Zao speculated: "Maybe Mother is afraid that I will worry, so she won't allow Uncle to tell us?"
Yun Qing said: "No, Uncle Xu won't hide such a big matter from Dad. Your mother's failure to reply should be a problem. Or your mother's reply is on the way, but it was delayed."
That's what he said, but Yunqing still wrote a letter to Xu Wu, and asked him to send it to Pickaxe City as soon as possible. But don't be fooled by Zao Zao, Yuxi fell ill because of Liu Yi's matter.
After writing the letter, Yunqing sent someone to invite Han Jianming over, and said, "I will leave the matter here to you, and I will return to Pick City the day after tomorrow." Han Jianming can rest assured that the government affairs are handed over to Fang Xing, but the military affairs are handed over to Fang Xing Yu Cong is still not at ease, and needs to raise some points.
Han Jianming hurriedly asked: "In such a hurry? What happened to Pick City?" In fact, Han Jianming wanted to ask if something happened to Yuxi, but it was not auspicious, so he didn't ask.
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Wangfei hasn't written back to me and Zao Zao these days, I'm a little worried and want to go back soon."
Han Jianming was a little surprised. Yang Duoming came to him last night and told him about the relationship between the Liu family and the court. He also said that Yuxi had an account, and that this matter was left to him to deal with. From this, it can be seen that there is nothing wrong with Yu Xi. If Yuxi is fine, Pickaxe City will not be corrupted. As for why Yuxi didn't reply to Yunqing's letter, he was probably still angry.
Han Jianming concealed his strangeness, so that Yun Qing didn't notice it: "General Fang and I are involved in this matter, don't worry, my lord." In fact, things are complicated, and it will take a while to deal with all of them.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Han Jianming immediately sent Han Gao to invite Yang Duoming, and specifically asked Han Gao to ask Yang Duoming to bring Yuxi's reply.
Yang Duoming was a little strange, but he still brought the letter. Handing Yuxi's reply letter to Han Jianming, Yang Duoming specifically said: "My lord, this letter is the princess's personal letter, and it is definitely not a fake."
Han Jianming looked carefully, it was Yuxi's handwriting, and Yuxi's private seal was stamped at the end of the letter. After reading it, Han Jianming said: "I just heard the rumor that the princess is seriously ill and I don't think it's right, so I want to check the authenticity of this letter."
Yang Duoming was a little surprised and said: "How is it possible? This letter was written at most four days ago. It's only four days, how can I get seriously ill." It is possible to catch a cold or something, but serious illness is absolutely impossible.
Han Jianming hummed and said, "I'm just in case. The Liu family don't move for now, let's see what they want to do?" Han Jianming decided to take a long time to catch big fish.
Yang Duoming hesitated for a while, and said: "My lord, do you think we should get rid of Liu's family?" I always felt that keeping this woman would be a disaster, so I would feel at ease if I got rid of it as soon as possible. It's just that Yuxi didn't order him not to dare to do it himself. But if Han Jianming made up his mind, he could bring this matter up to Yu Xi.
Han Jianming said: "Since the princess didn't mention it, don't do unnecessary things." Han Jianming is Yuxi's most loyal supporter. He will go all out for what Yuxi asks him to do, but Yuxi doesn't ask him to do it or express his attitude He does not transgress in the slightest.
When Yang Duoming returned to his house, Yan Xi handed him a letter and said, "Boss, a letter from sister-in-law." At first, Yan Xi looked down on Fu Qingluo, thinking that Fu Qingluo was a little too arrogant. But after all these years, he also respected Fu Qingluo.
After reading the letter, Yang Duoming showed impatience.
Yan Xi asked: "Boss, what's the matter? What did sister-in-law say that made you look unhappy?" Yang Duoming would always be in a good mood when receiving Fu Qingluo's letter on weekdays.
Yang Duoming said: "Mr. Yang has given birth to another daughter. My uncle wants us to adopt Sanmao to him." At first he thought that Mrs. Yang was very good, so he recommended it to Fu Tianlei, but he didn't expect that people's hearts would change. Yang Shi dared to stretch out her hand to Lily. For this reason, Fu Qingluo complained.
Yan Xi already knew that Fu Tianlei had this plan, and said: "He wants a son, and he will give birth to him, so what's the matter with always thinking about my nephew?"
Yang Duoming said: "That's only if he can be born." In addition to the one born by Yang's family, they are all eight fairies. Speaking of it, he was puzzled, why this uncle always gave birth to daughters. The son who came with great difficulty died young.
Yan Xidao: "You have to tell sister-in-law, but you can't agree."
Yang Duoming shook his head and said, "Your sister-in-law refused." It was Yang Duoming who made it clear that he did not want to adopt his own child, and Fu Qingluo's attitude was so firm. (to be continued)
