Yuxi Episode (Thirty-Three)

When the cold winter comes, Yuxi can only nest in the Compassion Palace. At most, they just wandered around in the yard, not daring to go outside.

When you are old, you are most afraid of getting sick. When you get sick, you will feel groggy and it will take a long time to recover. Even if he recovers, his body will be worse than before.

Standing in the yard looking at the thick snow in the flower garden, Yuxi smiled and said to Qiyou: "Do you still remember your father making snowmen with you?"

Qiyou grinned and said, "How can I forget this?" Since childhood, Yunqing has only built snowmen with them twice. However, it is already hard for the old-fashioned old man.

"In a blink of an eye, more than sixty years have passed." The old man was also separated from her.

Seeing Yuxi's sad look, Qiyou immediately changed the subject: "Mother, next year is your 90th birthday. I discussed with my eldest brother and they planned to hold 100 tables." It is rare to have a life of 60, and her mother is 90 , That is a real old birthday star.

It's all about the kids. In addition, it should be the last time to live a full life. Therefore, Yuxi did not refuse this time: "You can figure out how to handle this matter!"

In the afternoon, Bingmei and Yuxi said: "Queen Mother, the Eldest Princess is ill."

"Why are you sick?" Zao Zao went back because there was something wrong with the Zhen Guogong's mansion two days ago. Saying that she was sick today, Yuxi felt a little strange.

Bingmei said with a smile: "Princess Da Chang said that it was the wind. I asked Doctor Zhang, and Doctor Zhang said it was nothing serious, and it would be fine after taking two patches of medicine. I will let you know." It's not that she is dying of illness, Zao Zao feels that there is no need to hide it. Keeping it secret will make Yuxi think more.

Having said that, Yuxi was still worried, and called Qiyou to come over and ask him to go to the Zhen Guogong's mansion.

An hour later, Qiyou came back: "Mother, when I went, she was with Xun Tingsheng and his wife. That voice was full of air, so you don't have to worry."

"That's good." The children are also getting older, and all kinds of problems have appeared on their bodies. Fortunately, all the children listened to him, and after they turned 30, they paid great attention to maintenance.

After saying this, Yuxi laughed and said: "Why did Zaozao scold Tingsheng and his wife?" Zaozao has a tough temper since she was a child, and has gained a lot of power at home. The eldest daughter-in-law is fine, but the next two daughter-in-laws are a little afraid of her.

Qiyou shook his head and said, "I didn't ask." Housework, why ask more!

Two days later, Hong Lang and Lan Ruohong came to pay their respects.

Yu Xiyou said: "Hong Lang,

I'm glad you miss my old bones. But on such a cold day, don't come here on purpose. "

Lan Ruohong smiled and said, "Great-grandmother, I will take a carriage and a soft sedan when I go out, so I won't be cold."

Yu Xiyu said earnestly: "Don't take your body seriously because of your youth. The Marquis of Anyang didn't pay attention when he was young, and he went hunting in the mountains in heavy snow, but he suffered a great crime when he was old. And women should pay more attention. Too much cold is not good for offspring."

Speaking of heirs, Lan Ruohong's eyes flashed with sadness. She has been married for more than four months, and her stomach has not moved yet. Zhou Shushen was a little anxious, she was afraid that her mother-in-law might give her husband a concubine if she was not pregnant again.

Lan Ruohong quickly calmed down, and said softly, "Great-grandmother, I will pay attention to it in the future." Please An is definitely not less, but wear more when you go out. If you dress warmly, you won't be afraid of freezing.

The young couple went back after having lunch in the Compassion Palace.

Qiyou said: "Concubine Grandson is not pregnant yet, so his mother Honglang is a little anxious."

Yu Xi frowned and said: "Girl Lan has only been married for more than four months, and the young couple are in good health, why is she in a hurry?"

"Mother, not everyone who is a mother-in-law is as reasonable as you. Looking at Honglangniang's posture, if the concubine grandson is not pregnant again, she may have to choose a side concubine for Honglang." She hasn't conceived for three years, and if it were another mother-in-law, she would have been anxious to get angry, but her mother never urged her.

Yuxi frowned. If there is no birth in three to five years, it is justifiable for Honglang to choose a concubine. It's too ugly to be in a hurry without arriving in half a year.

Thinking about Zhou Shushen twenty years ago, and comparing it to the present, Yuxi couldn't help shaking her head.

Seeing this, Qiyou regretted a little: "Mother, I shouldn't have told you these things."

"It has nothing to do with you." After finishing speaking, Yuxi couldn't help but sigh: "The role of a woman seems to be to bear children. If she can't bear children, not only will she have no status in her husband's family, but she will also have to worry about no one to take care of her when she grows old." If you have a son, it must be useful. If it is useless, old people will still have no peace.

Qiyou smiled: "Mother, there will be such a day." That's what he said, but who knows that this day is the year of the monkey.

The school for girls starts school in February every year and has a holiday in early June; then school starts in early September and has a holiday in mid-November. In this way, the hottest and coldest times are just staggered. However, the enrollment every year is after the Lantern Festival.

Wenhuatang recruits students this year, and there are some changes from previous years. Because Wenhuatang recruits special students this year, the number of places is limited to ten. This specialty is not limited to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it can also be martial arts, cooking and arithmetic.

Of course, this news actually spread in the capital in October last year, but most people were skeptical.

Zao Zao asked: "Mother, it's fine if you have to be good in the exams of each subject. But you must get the approval of all five judges. Mother, isn't this condition too harsh?" Huatang is gone.

Yuxi doesn't think there is a problem: "The students who can enter the Wenhua Hall are all very good. If their cultural courses are too poor, how can they keep up? In addition, since their specialties show that they have talents in this area, I believe everyone will vote for them. With a fair and just vote." If you are not admitted, it can only show that the other party is not good enough.

And if the other party is really good enough, has perseverance and perseverance, even if he doesn't enter the Wenhua Hall, he can become a talent.

Zao Zao felt that the conditions should be relaxed. If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to recruit even a special student.

After a day of grinding, Yu Xi relaxed the conditions a little. That is, if a candidate has two specialties, it is enough for each specialty to be recognized by three judges.

Zao Zao was a little powerless: "Mother, it's amazing that this person is talented in one aspect. Two specialties, where can I find such a person?"

Yuxi glanced at it, Zaozao said with a smile: "Wenhuatang has recruited special students, and other schools will definitely follow suit. If you really have this talent, you won't be buried."

Because it was the first year, the news did not spread widely, only female students from the capital came to take the exam. And Wenhuatang never lowered the requirements, so only one student passed in the end. This student is a girl from the Han family, but she has shown extraordinary talent in poetry since she was twelve years old. After reading her collection of poems, the five gentlemen made an assessment, and all votes passed.

Although it is a collection of poems, it is actually only eight poems.

Yuxi also read this collection of poems, and then called Brother Hua over: "This child is very talented, if he trains well, maybe our Han family can produce a poetess who will be passed down through the ages."

Brother Hua didn't expect Yuxi to have such a high evaluation of his granddaughter: "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely train her well." The Han family can have today because of Yuxi, a capable aunt. So the Han family taught the girls very carefully, not only letting them go to school to study, but also letting them get in touch with outside affairs.

Thinking about what happened when she was a child, Yuxi said: "The children in the house must be taken care of, don't let them be left out in the cold."

After talking for a long time, Brother Hua saw Yuxi's tired face, and said worriedly: "Auntie, you have to take good care of yourself."

"It's already ninety years old, and no matter how well it is maintained, it won't last for a few years." This happens to everyone, and even emperors can't escape it. But Yuxi is not afraid, it is also very good to be reunited with the old man under the Nine Springs.

By April, Lan Ruohong was still not pregnant. Zhou Shushen couldn't sit still, and wanted to marry her concubine.

Hong Lang flatly refused: "Mother Concubine, Ruo Hong and I just got married not long ago, so you don't have to worry about your children."

Zhou Shushen said angrily: "Your sister-in-law was pregnant within the first month after she came in. She hasn't moved for almost a year, how can I wait?" The more Hong Lang disagreed, the angrier she became.

Hong Lang frowned and said: "Mother and concubine, everyone's situation is different, and what I want is the eldest son." It is also because his father is the eldest son and the legitimate heir, so he can be named grandson . If not, when will he get the crown prince?

Zhou Shushen was angry again, but Hong Lang couldn't force her if she didn't want to, but he still said: "If she still can't conceive, are you going to never accept a concubine for her?"

Hearing this, Hong Lang's face turned dark instantly. These words seemed to be cursing him that he would not have a son. But Zhou Shushen was his own mother, so even if she felt uncomfortable, she could only endure it.

Hong Lang said: "Within three years, I will definitely not accept a concubine." If Lan Ruohong is not pregnant within three years, even he can't bear it. After all, he is the crown prince of a country, and heirs are not only family affairs but also state affairs.

Let alone three years, she didn't want to wait three months. But seeing Hong Lang's ugly face, Zhou Shushen could only stop this topic. However, that didn't mean she gave up. Hong Lang couldn't make sense, so she persuaded Lan Ruohong.

Taking the initiative to accept concubines for her husband, and even when she was childless, she thought her brain was flooded.

Lan Ruohong said: "Concubine mother, your daughter-in-law listens to Your Highness." The grandson wanted to accept a concubine, but she couldn't stop her. But she herself would never do such a stupid thing.

Seeing Lan Ruohong playing Tai Chi with her, Zhou Shushen was so angry. Just when she was about to start swearing, her head started to hurt again.

After taking medicine and resting for a while, I feel better.

Seeing Lan Ruohong, she said with a cold face, "Go back! Don't come here again these days." To avoid having another headache when seeing her.

After the people left, Zhou Shushen snorted coldly and said, "Think she's really virtuous and filial? It's all just pretending."

Hong Lang returned to the East Palace at night, and saw Lan Ruoyong's eyes were red: "Did the concubine mother tell you something?" Except for his mother, no one dared to be angry with his wife.

Lan Ruoyong didn't hide it, and said with a choked voice, "My concubine asked me to persuade you to accept the concubine, but I didn't agree, and as a result, my concubine suffered a headache."

"What about now?"

Lan Ruohong said: "After taking the medicine and taking a rest, there is no hindrance anymore. But the mother concubine said, let me not go to Kang Wang's mansion during this time."

Hong Lang said lightly: "Since my concubine told you not to go to pay your respects, then don't go. Stay at home and have a good rest." His mother, it's really going too far.

Lan Ruohong nodded slightly.
