Qi Ho Extra (10)
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the clothes on the body are getting more and more. In mid-November, the Temple of Compassion and Ning was set ablaze with earth dragons.
Yun Qing said: "Hey, I'm old after all. I think when I was young, my whole body was warm when it snowed." It's not like now, dressed like a brown bear. It was still early, and the hot kang was burned.
The older I get, the more I like to recall things from my youth.
"I'm getting old. I think it's enough for you not to have to burn the earth dragon to hold your stove in the winter. Now, it's almost turning into ice." This is a bit exaggerated. Although Yunqing is not as warm as when he was young, he is still Not so cold.
Yunqing: ...
"You won't comfort me, will you?" Knowing that his health is not as good as before, he still said this to hurt him.
Yu Xi chuckled endlessly: "When you're old, obey the old, don't always think about what you have. If you are bored, go to Feng Dajun or Du Zheng to play chess and chat, or to learn martial arts together."
Both Feng Dajun and Du Zheng have retired, and now they are both living at home for the elderly! Yunqing and them have a lot in common.
Yun Qing said with a look of disgust: "I don't want to play with those two stinky chess baskets! It doesn't matter if you don't win the game, but you still regret it all the time."
They are all warriors, and they never touched chess when they were young. I only learned it when I was bored when I was old, and the level can be imagined. The chess skills of the three of them are only as good as Yun Qing's. But just because he was so good, Yunqing couldn't help but be embarrassed.
Yuxi said that the older Yunqing is, the more he looks like a naughty boy, which is absolutely true.
Yuxi couldn't stop laughing: "How about I play with you." She is a stinky chess basket, and she has the nerve to laugh at others.
Playing chess with Yuxi is completely looking for abuse. Yun Qing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't you want to organize those notes? I won't delay you."
The husband and wife were talking when they heard Mei Lan report that the empress asked to see her.
This time when they came back, Tan Aoshuang came very frequently. Because she would bring Jing Shu and Brother Tan, Yun Qing was not only not annoyed, but very happy.
Seeing his smiling face, Yuxi also laughed: "Aren't you too busy? Just take care of your granddaughter and grandson." Yunqing just likes children, and doesn't favor boys over girls.
Yun Qing happily took Jing Shu and Brother Tan to the West Wing to play.
Gone are the worries and fears in my heart,
Tan Aoshuang's complexion is now very good: "Mother, the emperor likes Brother Tan so much. If you don't mind, after Brother Tan is weaned, you can take him to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to raise him!"
Because of the different ideas, Tan Aoshuang was not close to Yu Xi before. Although it is said that she has done a good job on the surface, but who is Yuxi, how can she not see her thoughts. Therefore, she avoided Tan Aoshuang's greetings in the morning and evening, and only asked her to come over on the 15th day of every month to say hello. So in the past, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not close. It's just that before Yunqing abdicated, Yuxi was busy all the time, and after abdicating, she spent most of the time outside, which was not obvious.
Now Tan Aoshuang has changed her mentality and is willing to get close to Yuxi. And she also keenly discovered that since she got close to Yuxi, Qihao's attitude towards her has become better and better. There are more and more topics between the two of them. Now I will tell her something about my siblings when they were young. In fact, although Tan Aoshuang concealed it well, how could her attitude be hidden from Qi Hao who was next to her. The relationship between husband and wife is estranged, which is also a very important reason.
After discovering this, Tan Aoshuang now brings Brother Tan and Jing Shu to the Compassionate Ning Palace every day.
Yuxi smiled and shook her head and said, "No need, your father and I don't have the energy to raise a child when we are older." The old man wanted to raise a child by his side because he was lonely. She is extremely busy every day, and she has to take care of Yunqing, an old urchin, so she has no time and energy to take care of a child.
Tan Aoshuang was a little disappointed. She sincerely wanted to send Brother Tan to the Compassion Palace.
Seeing this, Yuxi smiled and said, "If you don't mind, let Brother Sheng live in the Palace of Compassion and Peace during this period of time." Brother Sheng is different from other grandchildren, he is the future heir. Therefore, Yuxi is willing to work hard to teach him something. Of course, it is also an important reason that Brother Sheng is able to take care of himself now that he is older.
Tan Aoshuang was very happy: "Okay, I'll let him come over after school in the evening." If she could win the love of Yunqing and Yuxi, then she would not have to worry about it anymore.
Hearing that Yu Xi asked Sheng to live in Ci Ning'an, Qi Hao was happy to see the success. When it comes to teaching children, there is no one better than her mother.
The weather was fine that day, after lunch Qihao accompanied Yuxi to go for a walk in the imperial garden.
Qihao said: "Mother, I want to break the sea ban."
Yuxi has the same worries as Chen Ran, but she thinks more long-term: "If you want to open the sea ban, you must expand the rules of the navy to enhance their combat effectiveness. Otherwise, if the sea ban is lifted, the coastal areas will become those fanatics in the future." And pirate fat."
Qi Hao nodded and said: "I plan to build a fleet first, and when I make money, I will use the proceeds to expand the navy."
Yuxi laughed as soon as she heard it: "It was Qiyou's idea to build a ship to do business with Fanren, right?" Shipping by sea is indeed huge profits. And ordinary people can't do it either.
Qihao also has his own considerations: "Mother, I heard you mentioned that the ships of the Fanren are better than ours. So I thought, doing business with them can not only make money, but also take the opportunity to learn from them. It can make up for our shortcomings." In addition to shipbuilding, the Fanren have many things that are better than theirs.
"I'm very pleased that you can think so far." What I fear most is the emperor who indulges in pleasure and has short-sightedness.
Qihao was praised, and a smile appeared on his face: "Didn't mother often tell us that threesomes must have my teacher. We should humbly learn from others' strengths and make up for our own shortcomings." Saying that Yuxi asked him to follow Tian Yang contacted and learned about the outside world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought so far. In the final analysis, Yuxi taught well.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Since we want to form a merchant fleet, we must choose the person in charge." If the person in charge is not selected well, the success will definitely fall short.
"I'm going to leave this matter to Qiyou." The person he trusts the most is Qiyou.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "No, for such a big matter as forming a fleet, you must do it yourself. Qiyou is the minister of the Ministry of punishment, so how can you have time to go so far to take care of the fleet."
Qihao asked: "Mother, let Qiyou take charge and leave the specific matters to Tian Yang, what do you think?"
"This is up to you." When you come to consult about government affairs, Yuxi will definitely answer with all her heart, but the final decision must be made by Qihao, and Yuxi will not overstep the barrier.
Yuxi often said, seek his own government when he is in his position, and not seek his own government when he is not in his position. She not only said so, but also did so. Because of this, mother and son never had conflicts.
Qi Hao smiled: "Mother, the eldest sister said that she wants to go back to Beijing for the New Year. Mother, I have agreed."
Speaking of Zao Zao, Yu Xi shook her head and said: "Your eldest sister is really a big hearted mother, so she left Chang Sheng and Ting Sheng's half-old children in the capital."
Qi Hao laughed and said, "With Ah You and I protecting Chang Sheng and Ting Sheng, no one dares to bully him." As the first child of the next generation, everyone has very different feelings towards him. Qihao's love for Changsheng is no different than that for parents and children.
"She was sure that you would not ignore them, so she left the two children alone in the capital." After finishing speaking, Yuxi asked: "Qiyou said that he wanted to see someone for him, so the child said that he was both If you say you want to marry Jingshu, you must keep your promise. What do you say about this?"
Qi Hao naturally had no objection. As for Yuxi's claim that being too close to marry is not good for the heirs and has no basis, Qihao is also dubious.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Then ask Jingshu what she means after she reaches Ji."
"good."
Half a month later, Qi Rui returned to Beijing with his wife and children. Yun Qing looked at the three eldest grandsons and couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. As for the daughters-in-law, except for Huang Siling, the other three are quite capable of giving birth. Gao Haiqiong gave birth to three fat boys, and Dai Yanxin also gave birth to three sons and a daughter. A thriving population is what Yunqing most wishes to see.
Qi Rui went to Qianqing Palace to meet Qi Hao, and the two brothers talked about the past, and he asked: "Brother, I want to be transferred to Tongcheng. If I stay in Shengjing again, I will almost be useless."
This is not the first time Qi Rui has said this. Qihao shook his head and said, "Unless parents nod, we can't talk about it."
"Brother, as long as you agree, parents will definitely not object." Qi Rui wanted to go to Tongcheng to fight, but unfortunately he was unable to do so.
Qihao expressed that he could not agree with Yunqing and Yuxi, and there was no need to discuss this matter: "Let's go, go to the Palace of Compassion."
At this time, Yuxi was listening to Gao Haiqiong talking about the bad things that a few boys did.
After a while, Yuxi said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." It is not easy to take care of three naughty boys.
Gao Haiqiong said with a smile: "Compared to my mother back then, I am nothing." The person she admired most in her life was Yuxi. Not only have to deal with government affairs and general affairs, but also take care of a few children. She only takes care of the three children, which is hard work.
In fact, Gao Haiqiong's life today is very smooth except for her three sons who are a bit rough. Her husband is kind to her, and her mother-in-law is a sensible person. According to her mother Xia's words, she has fallen into the nest of blessings. Gao Haiqiong agrees with this statement.
Yuxi smiled and said: "At that time, I was forced to do nothing." I don't want to be a fish on the cutting board and let others slaughter me, so I can only let Yunqing expand the territory and guard the rear.
Of course, Yuxi also likes to be busy. If it were an ordinary woman, she would feel that she couldn't bear the hardship.
Qi Hao happened to hear this when he came over, and asked with a smile: "Mother, why are you so forced?" In this world, no one dares to force her mother to do something she doesn't want to do.
"I used to be forced to use one person as two people before." Although Yuxi enjoyed it, she didn't say that.
Hearing this, Qi Rui hurriedly said: "Mother, we used to be young and couldn't share your worries. Now that we grow up, you and your father can enjoy happiness at ease, and don't leave Beijing again."
Yunqing and Yuxi often run out, making the children worry about it, because they are afraid that something will happen to them outside.
Yuxi smiled and said: "While I can walk now, I have to see the beauty of the world. Otherwise, I won't be able to walk, and I won't be able to go if I want to."
Qi Rui knew that Yu Xi couldn't be said, so he didn't waste any more words: "Mother, I want to be transferred to Tongcheng."
Every time Qi Rui goes home for the New Year, he has to tell them this. As for Gao Haiqiong, every time she hears that Qi Rui wants to go to Tongcheng, she gets very nervous. Tongcheng is still fighting now. Although there is no large-scale war, hundreds of thousands of people die every year. Therefore, she didn't want Qi Rui to go to Tongcheng.
Yu Xi looked at Qi Rui's expectant expression, and said with a smile: "Ask your father about this matter. If he agrees, I have no objection."
Qi Rui was immediately discouraged. His father is old and stubborn, insisting that he goes to Tongcheng is useless, and he disagrees with life and death.
