Yuxi Extra Story (1)
Goose-feather-like heavy snow fell down one after another. Looking through the window, what comes into my eyes is a vast expanse of whiteness.
It snowed heavily for two days and two nights. The windows were blocked by snow. The ice skates are like crystal clear crystals, hanging in rows under the eaves.
Leaning on the bed, Yun Qing said: "Yuxi, today's rare good weather, I want to go out for a walk!"
Yuxi would not agree, and said with a straight face: "A few days ago, I went out while I was away, but it was blown by the wind and caught the cold, and it is not good now. If you want to go out again and catch the cold, you are afraid that you will have to lie down for a month Only then will it be better."
Yun Qing frowned and said: "But if you are locked in the room every day, people will get moldy, how can this disease be cured?" Cough, it is not good when you are old. Like when I was young, snow was nothing, I could go wherever I wanted.
Not letting him go out is also for the sake of his health. But Yuxi can also understand, knowing that Yunxing is really uncomfortable being bored in the room every day: "At noon, I will accompany you out for a walk." The sun is good today, and it is not so cold to go out at noon.
"That's what you said." I'm afraid that Yuxi will regret it again, because Yuxi has a dark history of doing this before.
Those who had lunch at noon still didn't see Qiyou, Yun Qing asked: "Yuxi, when will Qiyou come back?" Just the two of them eating, always felt empty.
In fact, the sons and daughters are very filial, let alone Zao Zao and the others visit them every now and then. Even Qi Hao, who is the king of a country, would come to accompany them when he was not busy. It's just that this time the children had something to do and didn't come over.
Yuxi smiled and said: "I should be back in these two days." Since Huang Siling died of illness, Qiyou moved to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to accompany them. But occasionally, I would go back to Prince You's Mansion to stay for a few days.
"Qiyou was not in Honglang and went to Huguang to investigate the case. Now I don't even have anyone to talk to." At the beginning of last year, Honglang started to accept errands.
This is Qi Hao training him, Yun Qing and Yu Xi are naturally happy to see the result.
Yuxi laughed and said, "I'm not a human being if I have feelings in your eyes."
Yun Qing said with a smile: "Seeing you, it's like seeing myself." In Yun Qing's heart, Yu Xi and him are one.
Yu Xi smiled and put a chopstick of green vegetables into his bowl, and said, "When the weather gets warmer, I will let Qi You take you out for a walk." Staying in the palace all day is really boring.
Originally, every winter, Yuxi would accompany Yunqing to the hot spring village. On the hot spring Zhuangzi, as long as it does not rain or snow,
Yuxi will accompany Yunqing for a walk outside. It's just that Yun Qing fell ill when winter came. By the time he recovered from his illness, it had started to snow.
Yunqing's health is getting worse and worse now, Yuxi dare not rush on the road in the snow. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret.
The surprise came so fast that Yun Qing couldn't believe it: "Really?" You know, Yuxi dislikes him going to the market the most.
It's not that Yu Xi doesn't plan him to go to the market, but that the older Yun Qing gets, the worse his self-control becomes. Every time I go out, I have to eat some messy things. And his stomach was poor and he had diarrhea after eating, not only himself suffered, but Yuxi also suffered. In the end, Qiyou didn't dare to take him out. But if Yu Xi spoke, it would be a different matter.
After eating, Yuxi fulfilled her promise and accompanied Yunqing to the Imperial Garden for a walk.
Pulling off the mink cloak in disgust, Yun Qing muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm almost wrapped into a ball." Three layers inside and three layers outside, no different from a ball. .
Yuxi also dressed thickly: "It's so cold, how can I not wear more? If I catch a cold, I will suffer again." She is old and gets sick accidentally. Even if she is as cautious as Yuxi, she has been ill this year.
After being locked in the room for half a month, Yu Xi is content to be able to come out now. As for the clothes, make them thicker!
The two of them walked outside for less than a quarter of an hour, when Yu Xi saw Yun Qing yawn and returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.
Qiyou looked at the drowsy Yunqing, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him into the house.
After Yunqing fell asleep, Qiyou said: "Mom, why did you let dad go out in such a cold day?"
"Your father has been ill for half a month, and he feels very bored. It just so happened that the weather was fine today, so I took him out for a walk." After speaking, Yuxi asked, "Why did you stay for so long this time?" I go back to Prince You's Mansion on weekdays, and I'll be back in about two days. But this time, they stayed for five days.
Qiyou said: "It's for Brother Ming's marriage. Brother Xu's daughter-in-law has found a girl for him, and he is not happy." In early May next year. Of the three grandchildren, the marriage of the youngest, Brother Ming, has not yet been settled. Chen Muqing is now helping him to see each other.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Everyone has their own love for vegetables and radishes. If you think it's good, it's useless if Brother Min thinks it's bad."
"Mother, how can I not understand the truth that twisted melons are not sweet. I never thought of asking him to marry a girl I don't like, but if I don't want to, I have to give a reason! He is nice, so I just say it doesn't suit my eyes. "Chen Muqing felt that his reason was too perfunctory. But Qiyou felt something was wrong.
As I get older, I see many things very openly. Yuxi said: "There is no problem with this reason! If you don't like it, it doesn't mean that the girl is bad."
Qiyou felt that Yuxi and him were getting less and less tacit understanding: "Mother, I suspected that the boy had a sweetheart, but he didn't dare to tell us. So, he just found a reason to prevaricate us."
Yu Xi laughed, and said: "You stayed at home for so many days on purpose, just for this matter?"
Seeing Qiyou nodded, Yuxi smiled and said, "What happened?"
Qiyou shook his head and said: "This boy, he hides too deeply. No matter how I try to test him, he won't tell." It's not that he did something bad, and it's not good to interrogate the people around Brother Min.
Yuxi laughed and said: "Perhaps, Brother Ming has no sweetheart, these are all imagined by you."
"Impossible. With my many years of experience in handling cases, this kid definitely has a sweetheart." He still has this confidence.
Yu Xi didn't say much, just said: "Leave this matter to his parents to worry about, and you don't have to worry about it." Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and she doesn't want to worry about this.
Qiyou shook his head and said, "No, I have to keep an eye on this matter. Brother Ming has always had bad eyesight, so he can't be fooled."
Seeing him like this, Yuxi couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, and then put the matter aside.
Years ago, Qihao and Yuxi said one thing: "Mother, Honglang will be sixteen years old after the Chinese New Year. Mother, I plan to draft next year and choose his grandson concubine for him." Apart from Honglang, Qirui and the others The four brothers also have married offspring. Just in time, it will be resolved together.
Yu Xi nodded and said: "It's time to get things done." Next year, the Concubine Grandson will be selected, and then two years of preparation will be made, when Hong Lang will be eighteen years old. At this age, I just got married.
"Mother, then I issued an imperial decree to announce this matter to the whole world." The selection of the grandson concubine is naturally open to the whole world.
Two days later, Qihao issued an imperial decree for the draft. Although it was not stated clearly, everyone knew that this draft was mainly for the selection of the grandson concubine.
Those rich and noble families in the capital who have such a heart will keep the girls of the right age at home unengaged. After the decree came down, they began to prepare.
Yuxi said to Zhou Shushen: "Honglang is the grandson, we must choose a girl with both ability and political integrity for her."
As she got older, she had to take care of Yunqing again, and she didn't have the energy to take care of it anymore. Zhou Shushen was Hong Lang's biological mother, so this matter naturally fell on her.
Zhou Shushen nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely choose a good girl for Hong Lang."
After the first month of the lunar year, draft lists will be reported from all over the country. At the end of February, show girls began to arrive in Beijing one after another. The capital suddenly became lively.
Qiyou said to Yuxi this day: "Mom, the girl from the Zhou family is also on the draft list." This girl from the Zhou family refers to Zhou Shushen's natal niece.
Yuxi turned her head and glanced at him.
Qiyou said: "Mother, my niece and daughter-in-law asked her niece to be drafted, and I'm afraid they want to get closer. Mother, I remember you said that the marriage of cousins has an impact on the next generation."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Brother Ming is not enough for you to worry about? Now even Honglang, you are starting to worry about it." This child is a life of worry.
Seeing that Yuxi didn't take this matter to heart, Qiyou said: "Mother, I'm not as free and easy as you."
"Brother Ming hasn't said goodbye yet, so you should worry about him! Don't worry about Honglang's affairs, Qihao knows it well." Yuxi actually knew that Qihao already had a candidate for grandson concubine in his heart. The draft was just a cutscene, but since her son didn't say anything clearly, she didn't ask much, let alone say much.
Qiyou nodded with a smile.
At the beginning of April, Xiunu arrived in the capital one after another. At this time, Yunqing suddenly proposed to go to Xishan: "The weather has become warmer now, let's go and live there for a few days!" On the side of Xishan, a courtyard was also built. Before, Yuxi and Yunqing lived there several times.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and now Yunqing is the biggest. Since Yunqing wanted to go, Yuxi naturally followed him.
Qiyou said: "Father, mother, how long will you be staying here?" Brother Pun is going to get married in half a month, and he wants Yunqing and Yuxi to go later.
Yuxi smiled and said: "It depends on your father's mood. It may be three to five days, or ten and a half months. Let Qixuan accompany us this time, and you will help arrange brother Pian's marriage at home." Youai has a worrying temper, how can he let go of Brother Pong's marriage.
Qiyou nodded and said, "Okay." In addition to arranging Brother Pong's marriage, he also wanted to finalize Brother Min's marriage. Since this kid is hiding his sweetheart and not telling them, it seems that there is something wrong with this girl. Therefore, it is better to settle the marriage earlier.
Two days later, Yuxi and Yunqing went to Xishan. Apart from Qixuan, Zao Zao followed them.
Yunqing stood at the foot of the mountain, looked at the rolling mountains and said, "I don't know if I can come next year."
Yuxi said: "I'll come here with you to see the plum blossoms in winter." There are many plum blossoms planted on the mountain, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom in the cold winter, as if you are in a sea of flowers. Unlike now, only the continuous green grass and trees can be seen.
After staying in Xishan for three days, Yunqing said he would go to the hot spring village for two days.
Yuxi did not refuse, and said: "We will go to the hot spring village tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered someone to pack his luggage.
Qixuan was a little surprised, and said, "It's only been three days, why are you going to Wenquan Zhuangzi again?" He didn't think much about it, and felt that Yunqing was becoming more and more like a child, acting as he wanted. And Yuxi, on the other hand, followed him in everything.
After staying at Hot Spring Zhuangzi for two days, Yunqing said to Yuxi again: "I want to go back to the northwest to have a look."
Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, wondering how Yunqing's body could withstand the long journey. But Yuxi still coaxed him and said: "When you recover, we will go to the northwest."
Today, Yunqing said that he wanted to eat roasted whole lamb. But Yuxi was rare this time, and she didn't object.
Qi Xuan was very surprised to know this, and said to Zao Zao: "Mother, what's wrong?" Roasted whole lamb is easy to get angry after eating, and it is not easy to digest. Many years ago, Yu Xi refused to let Yun Qing eat it.
Zao Zao didn't answer Qi Xuan's question, but went to see Doctor Zhang: "Tell me the truth, has my father's health deteriorated again?"
Hearing that doctor Zhang said that Yunqing's body was the same as usual, Zaozao obviously didn't believe it: "Don't lie to me?"
Doctor Zhang even said he didn't dare.
Zaozao was still a little suspicious in her heart, and secretly observed Yuxi. I found that she was the same as usual, nothing unusual. At the moment, I feel that I should be thinking too much.
One day, Yunqing suddenly took the fishing rod with great interest and ran to the pond to fish.
As a result, after fishing for an hour, not a single fish was caught. Yuxi looked at the empty bucket and said with a smile: "If you become a fisherman, you will surely starve to death." There are a lot of fish in that pond, and those fish can take the bait when they see food. As a result, Yunqing didn't catch any of them. This ability is absolutely perfect.
Yun Qing snorted and said, "I'll continue fishing tomorrow, I don't believe I can't catch them."
On the second day, he really let him catch two fish. A carp weighing one catty, and a crucian carp weighing half a catty.
Carp is a hairy thing, Yuxi dare not let Yunqing eat it. Therefore, Yunqing ate steamed crucian carp at noon.
The husband and wife lived leisurely and naturally at the hot spring village. But the draft in Beijing was full of turmoil.
Yu Xi was painting when she heard Liu Er coming.
Liuer talked to Yuxi for a while, and then told her one thing: "Mother, a group of beautiful girls were playing in the imperial garden the day before yesterday, and three of them fell into the pool for some reason. One of the beautiful girls knocked their heads On a rock, you will be out of breath after being rescued."
Yuxi's interest in painting was completely destroyed, and after putting down the brush, she asked, "Whose family belongs to the drowned beautiful girl?"
"It's the first daughter of the prefect of Jinan." Seeing that Yuxi didn't speak, Liu'er said, "Mother, it's the girl from the Zhou family who provoked the dispute. After such a big incident, Zhou Xiuying should be sent out of the palace logically. But Now, she is still staying in the palace well."
Yuxi glanced at her and said, "What is your purpose in telling me this?"
Liu'er said dissatisfiedly: "First I married Xinyue to the Zhou family, and now I want the Zhou family's girl to be a concubine. Everyone has selfish intentions, and there is nothing wrong with her helping her mother's family. But I am worried that if this continues, she will My heart is getting bigger and bigger." This means that when Zhou Shushen becomes the empress dowager in the future, she will have thoughts that she shouldn't have.
Yuxi said calmly: "I raised Honglang by myself, and no one can control him. So your worries are completely unnecessary." Everyone has selfishness, Zhou Shushen has it, and Liu'er has it too.
