Qixuan Episode (Fifty-Six)
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Tu Shi died of illness, and Yuxi was very depressed. The older you get, the more you can't stand death.
Yunqing proposed to go outside to have a look. Going outside for a walk, Yu Xi's mood should be better.
Yuxi nodded and said: "It's been a long time since I went out, it's time to go out for a walk."
After thinking for a while, Yuxi said: "I have always heard that Xiangshan is beautiful, let's go to Xiangshan for a walk." This Xiangshan is named Xiangshan because the stalactite at the highest peak is shaped like an incense burner. Yuxi has been to the capital for so many years, and has only been there once.
Yun Qing said with a smile: "Xiangshan Mountain will be beautiful when you go there in late autumn!" There are large areas of maple trees in Xiangshan Mountain, and the maple leaves are all red at the end of autumn. At this time, it looks like a sea of fire, which is very beautiful.
"Go now, it's also beautiful there." At the end of spring, there is the beauty of the end of spring, and at the end of summer, there is the beauty of the end of summer. And this time, she mainly wanted to be kind, and she didn't really want to see any scenery.
The old couple are going to visit Fragrant Hills for a few days, so of course they have to tell Qihao about it.
Xiangshan is only a few dozen roads away from the capital, so Qihao naturally wouldn't object. However, he proposed to let the two princes accompany them.
Yuxi said with a smile: "You can't delay the children's studies, just the two of us can go."
After Qiyou found out, he ran to ask Qihao for leave, saying that he would accompany Yuxi and Yunqing to Xiangshan.
Qi Hao said with a smile: "As long as parents agree, I have no objection." If you want to be lazy, there is no way.
Sure enough, Yunqing and Yuxi did not agree to let Qiyou follow. Yuxi said: "You work hard, don't spend three days drying the net and two days fishing." This kid doesn't know who he looks like, and he is not active at all.
Qiyou felt that he was wronged: "Mother, I am as busy as a spinning top every day, and you still say that about me. Mother, you don't feel sorry for me at all."
Yun Qing couldn't stand it anymore: "Such a big man, he can't speak well." It's really unbearable for someone who is almost forty years old to act like a baby.
Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled.
The three of them were talking, Yu Sheng said outside: "The Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager, Gu Jiu sent a letter."
Along with the letter, there is also a painting. .
Yuxi read the letter first, and after reading the letter, Qiyou looked at her eagerly, and immediately said with a smile: "Ah Xuan is fine, you don't have to worry about him."
Qiyou stared at the letter and said, "Mother, please show me this letter..." Only after reading the letter can he truly feel at ease.
The third brother has been away from the capital for more than a year, and he has not been able to contact him for such a long time, Qiyou has always been worried.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "You don't need to read the letter. But you can write to him, and I will send someone to bring it to him later."
Qixuan was overjoyed, and hurried to the study next to him to write a letter.
Yu Xi asked Yu Sheng to spread out the painting, and what caught his eye was a big ferocious tiger.
Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun. Seeing this painting, Yun Qing immediately praised: "This tiger is well drawn."
Yuxi glanced at it and shook her head and said, "It still lacks a degree of enthusiasm." Yuxi studied the paintings of many great painters for a year last year, and she felt that there was something wrong with this painting. Specifically, I can't tell.
Qiyou came out after writing the letter, and saw this painting: "Mom, since when did you become interested in tigers? If you like it, I'll send you a live one." The tiger on the painting is dead. fun. Live is interesting.
"It's a waste of money." After finishing speaking, Yuxi pointed to the painting and said with a smile: "This tiger was painted by Qixuan, what do you think?"
Qiyou was very surprised: "Mother, do you mean that the tiger was drawn by the third brother?"
After he finished speaking, he read the signature, and he was really Qixiang Layman. Qiyou was both surprised and delighted: "Third brother's painting skills are so high?" He had seen Qixuan draw cats and butterflies before, but he had never seen such a good painting!
"When he comes back, you can ask him yourself."
When Qiyou heard this, he immediately asked, "Mother, are you going to let the third brother come back? When will you be able to arrive in Beijing?"
"Not this year, wait until next year! Brother Min's wedding, he will come back to attend."
Qiyou heard this,
Asked: "Mother, are you going to lock up the third brother and let him concentrate on painting?"
Yu Xi didn't answer this, but said: "You should go to work."
Qiyou ran into the palace with the painting, and went to announce the good news to Qihao.
In mid-April, Nitti approached Qixuan and said something: "The sixth day of next month is my wedding day, and I hope you can come to attend, sir."
"Are you going to get married?" Nigu had never heard of this matter.
During this period of time, he has devoted himself to painting, even practicing in his own yard. Nigu hadn't seen him for more than half a month, how could he have the opportunity to tell him about it.
"Ai Hua is already seven years old, and my knees are still empty!" At such an old age, if he doesn't marry a wife, he may not be able to marry if he wants to.
"Whose girl?"
Niti said with some embarrassment: "Nika's sister, she is ten years younger than me." It was A Duo who said that he would marry Niti, and his family did not object. Niti was also reluctant at first, thinking that A Duo was too young. But later, he agreed to the marriage.
Seeing him like this, Qi Xuan couldn't help laughing and said: "What's the matter, Qiao Niang is nineteen years younger than me!" The difference of ten years is not a problem.
When Niti heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "How old is sir?"
"thirty-nine?"
"Mister is thirty-nine years old? Sir, are you kidding me?" Niti is twenty-seven years old this year, and he always thought that Qixuan was about his age. Hearing this now, one can imagine how shocked he was.
Qi Xuan laughed and said, "What are you doing lying to you? My eldest son is engaged, and we will get married next year."
When Niti heard this, she felt wrong: "You, your eldest son is about to get married, so Qiao Niang..." Qiao Niang is only in her early twenties, how could she give birth to such a big son.
Ajia village is monogamous, men do not have three wives and four concubines. So Qi Xuan said vaguely: "My child with Qiao Niang is also three years old."
Nitti groaned and said: "So that's how it is!" He thought that Qixuan was a step-married just like him, but he never thought that Aunt Dou was just a concubine.
Qixuan immediately changed the subject: "When you get married, I will definitely attend."
After sending the person away, Qixuan told Aunt Dou about the matter: "Go and ask Nigu's daughter-in-law to see what gift you want to give when the time comes?" Those who socialize at home are all princesses, and he doesn't care about them at all. Never mind.
Aunt Dou was very surprised, she put down what she was doing and went to Nigu's house to ask about it.
Seeing Qixuan, Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Do you know why Niti came here to tell you about his marriage?"
Qixuan was a little strange: "Is there anything else to say?"
Gu Jiu laughed and said: "You will not forget the one-year agreement, right?" In mid-April last year, the two decided to fight a year later. And now, exactly one year.
Qixuan's mind is full of pictures now, and he has long forgotten about it.
"Since the agreement before marrying a wife is automatically void, otherwise where will the bride be?"
Gu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Otherwise, why do you think he came to tell you this on purpose? He won't covet this gift from you." Unless Niti didn't want to die, otherwise he would kill someone when he saw him kill. It's like killing a chicken, how dare you beat Aunt Dou again
Qi Xuan hummed and said, "I want to give him a generous gift. Uncle Gu Jiu, what do you think should be given?"
"I don't know about your daughter-in-law." Ask him about human relations, and he is not the steward of Prince Xuan's mansion.
Aunt Dou didn't come back until it was time to cook. When she came back, Aunt Dou had a smile on her face.
Qixuan asked: "What did you say? You won't come back for most of the day?" He wondered why this woman had so much to say when they got together!
Aunt Dou smiled and said: "The head of the family, Yijia said that Niti didn't want to marry A Duo at first. Niti said that he had too many wives before A Duo, and he was not worthy of A Duo. You know why Niti agreed later. Marry A Duo?"
Men chasing women, separated by mountains. Women chasing men, interlayer yarn. So Qixuan thought it was nothing strange,
Aunt Dou smiled and said: "A Duo hugged Ni Ti and said that if he doesn't marry, she will marry her to the town."
This is wrong: "Isn't it good to marry in the town?" The transportation in Ajia village is inconvenient, and the supplies are too scarce, and even if you have money, you can't buy things. Although the town is relatively backward, it is much stronger than Ajia Village.
Aunt Dou said: "Women in Ajia Village are always the same at home, do you think such a temperament will live well when married to the town?"
Nigu's mother is frugal and partial to her youngest son, but she has never touched Yijia. But the people in the town are influenced by Confucian culture, and some men also take concubines. Like Niguo's cousin's brother-in-law, he took a concubine.
Hearing this, Qixuan laughed and said, "It's because Niti likes her, otherwise it doesn't matter if she marries in the town or the county." Only if he cares, will he be afraid that she will have a bad life.
"That's true." After saying this, Aunt Dou said: "Sister-in-law Yijia said that it is a custom in Ajia village that there is no requirement to give gifts in general relationships except close relatives and friends when getting married."
Qi Xuan was a little confused, and asked: "Then what should I give?"
Aunt Dou chuckled and said, "Last time you bought four pieces of cloth, one of which was still red. Otherwise, we gave them that red piece of cloth." These are all fine cloth, and one piece costs two taels silver. It is a great gift to give this cloth as a gift.
Qi Xuan hurriedly said: "Good things come in pairs, let's give it together with that autumn-scented fabric!"
Aunt Dou was a little reluctant, she also liked the fabric, and was thinking of making two clothes after finishing her work in the field.
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "I'll buy you better materials when I go to the county next time."
"good."
Not long after Niti's wedding, Qixuan received a reply letter from Yuxi and Qiyou.
After reading Xin Qixuan was very happy, and said to Aunt Dou: "Qiao Niang, my mother let us stay here until the end of autumn, and go to the county town to spend the winter this winter." Now it's May, and we can move in five or six months. Went to the county seat.
Aunt Dou hurriedly asked: "Then did the Empress Dowager tell us when to go back?"
Qixuan shook his head and said: "No. But if you think about it, you should be able to go back next year!" As long as his paintings are successful, his mother will definitely let him go back. So, you still have to paint well.
Aunt Dou was very disappointed.
