Chapter 650 Extravagance
After Yun Qing came back, she would also help review the papers, so Yu Xi was no longer as busy as before. When she has time, Yuxi will accompany the triplets. During this process, Yuxi paid more attention to Brother You, and found that this kid didn't like playing with Brother Rui and Brother Xuan very much.
Yu Xi hugged him and asked: "Ah You, tell mother, why don't you play with your brothers?" It stands to reason that Brother Xuan and Brother You look exactly the same, and the two children should have a better understanding, but the fact is completely opposite.
Brother Yu looked at the wooden blocks piled up by Brother Rui and Brother Xuan, and said, "It's not fun." This game doesn't have any technical content.
Yuxi changed her mind, and immediately asked someone to fetch the "Thousand Characters" and then taught the triplets to read the Thousand Characters. Yuxi didn't want the triplets to become great talents, but just wanted to test the IQ of the next three children. As a result, the triplets listened to Yu Xi's reading, but they didn't open their mouths.
Yu Xi stroked Brother Yu's head and said with a smile: "It seems that mother's thinking is wrong." Brother Yu is not the person with extremely high IQ as she thought.
Brother Xuan tugged at Yu Xi's sleeve and said, "Mother, read." Although he didn't know what Yu Xi was reading, it was obvious that Brother Xuan liked to listen.
Yuxi continued to read with a smile. Brother You couldn't see what he liked for the time being, but Brother Rui obviously liked martial arts, and Brother Xuan liked reading.
In the afternoon, Yang Duoming sent some deeds of Jiangnan that he had collected back to Yuxi for reading. After reading it, Yuxi shook her head again and again.
This day for dinner, Zao Zao was very surprised to see the dishes on the table when he came over. Roast goose, roasted pork with dried plums and vegetables, stewed beef and potatoes, fried lamb with sauce, steamed fish, shredded chicken artemisia, emerald shrimp, lion head, fried cabbage, crispy fried tofu, and an old duck soup. Usually when Yunqing is at home, their home only serves three meats, three vegetables and one soup. When Yunqing is not at home, they have two meats and two vegetables and one soup, but today it is ten dishes and one soup. Usually, this kind of situation only occurs during festivals or when there are guests visiting, but today's situation is obviously not among them. Because half of the dishes on the table are her favorites, and the emerald shrimp and crispy fried tofu dishes are Liu Er's favorites.
Zao Zao asked: "Mother, what a good day today? It's so rich?"
Yuxi scolded with a smile: "It's as if Rick detained you every day." Their family's living standard is similar to that of a middle-class family in Haocheng. Every meal has meat and vegetables, but it is not luxurious.
Seeing this, Zao Zao said with a smile: "It turns out that Mother is in a good mood today, so she cooked so many delicious food for us!"
Naturally, Yuxi wouldn't tell the children the reason: "Your father is back, wash your hands quickly, and dinner will be served soon."
As soon as the words fell, Yunqing walked into the house. Looking at the dishes on the table, he was obviously a little surprised. Yun Qing asked with a smile: "What? Is there any visitor today?"
Zao Zao looked at Yu Xi cheerfully and said, "Mother, can you see? I'm not the only one who said that."
Yu Xi said with a smile: "There are no guests, Zao Zao was talking about wanting to eat roast goose yesterday, and Liu Er also said a few days ago that she wanted to eat emerald shrimp, so I just made them for them."
When Liu'er came over, she was also a little surprised at the delicious dishes on the table, but she didn't ask. Only Brother Hao was very calm and did not show any strangeness.
Looking at Brother Hao's appearance, Yuxi felt that it overlapped with Brother Yu's usual performance.
After dinner, Zao Zao rinsed her mouth and said: "Mother, I will make so many delicious food every day from now on." She ate enough today, but unfortunately, the number of times like this is too few.
Before Yu Xi could speak, Yun Qing said first: "Go and see the ordinary people down there, they can't eat a meal of meat all year round, and you're still here to pick and choose. You really don't know your blessings in the midst of your blessings."
Zao Zao thought of her life in the Women's Martial Arts Hall, and fell silent. Looking back on those days now, I feel like the days are like years.
After so many years of husband and wife, Yunqing still doesn't understand Yuxi. There must be a reason for cooking such a sumptuous meal today. Yun Qing asked: "Did something happen to you today?" Yu Xi was frugal, and Yun Qing was even more frugal than her. The husband and wife played an exemplary role. Not only the children were deeply affected, but even the officials below were not extravagant.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "I didn't encounter anything, but I received some things about Jiangnan recorded by Yang Duoming, and I was a little emotional after reading it."
Yun Qing asked puzzledly: "What's the matter? It has something to do with eating?" Some things are difficult to change, for example, Yu Xi would say that eating is eating, but Yun Qing felt it was a mouthful.
Yuxi hummed and said, "Do you know how Yu Baojia ate the goose palm?"
Yun Qing felt that this question was a bit strange, and said: "How else can goose palms be eaten? Naturally, they should be eaten by burning." After speaking, Yun Qing added: "I heard that the food in Jiangnan is very delicate, maybe They do it differently than we do.”
Yuxi shook her head, and said with some sighs: "They drove the goose into an iron cage, and charcoal was burned under the iron cage. They thought that the essence of the goose was all on the goose's paws. Then they cut off the goose's paws, and the rest of the goose Throw away all of it."
Yun Qing's eyeballs were about to pop out, and after a while, he said: "That plate of goose paws needs more than a dozen geese?" Seeing Yu Xi nodding, Yun Qing burst into a foul language.
Yuxi continued: "They eat camel humps, and they also choose strong camels to tie to the pillars, and pour boiling water on the humps. The camels are scalded to death, and all the essence is concentrated in the humps. They only use the humps, and discard everything else. "
Yun Qing scolded: "Damn, although animals are for people to eat, they shouldn't be tortured and killed like this. They are not afraid of becoming abused animals in their next life?" Eating it is inhumane.
With a cold expression on her face, Yuxi said: "The Emperor Guangzong DìDū may not have had such a luxurious and corrupt life." Charcoal-roasted goose was eaten with goose paws, and Emperor Wu's noodle first Zhang Yizhi used it. At that time, Yuxi saw it in a book and sighed, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen in real life.
Hearing this, Yun Qing said: "Jiangnan is rich, these people will waste their money if they have money." Although it is getting better and better now, Yun Qing will never forget the days when his belt was tight. They shed blood and sacrificed on the front line and couldn't fill their days, but these beasts lived a life of extravagance.
Thinking of this, Yun Qing suddenly said: "Fortunately, I listened to your words and rebelled." If there was no rebellion, not to mention that he and his brothers did not have a good life now, even the people in the Northwest did not have a peaceful life. .
Yuxi was stunned, then smiled and said: "At the beginning, I was forced to do nothing, I can only persuade you to do this in order to survive." Although I have survived now, I really had the idea of breaking the boat at the beginning. no return.
Yun Qing was a little ashamed: "I was too stubborn at the beginning." It was also Yu Xi who was tough and skilled in persuasion, otherwise, with his original intention of being loyal to the court, he might not only not listen to Yu Xi, but would also lead to a relationship between husband and wife. centrifugal. Looking back now, he really felt that he was too stubborn.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "The main reason is that you still have expectations for the court and the emperor." There is nothing wrong with being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, but such a fatuous emperor Fǔ Bài's court is not worthy of allegiance.
This is a matter of perception. To live a new life, Yuxi wants to live a good life, not for others or a certain belief, but only for herself. That's why the situation at that time made her think of rebellion.
Yun Qing thought for a while and said: "It's not just that I have expectations for the court, the main thing is that this matter is too risky. If one is not careful, everyone will die." When he raised troops, he was under great pressure because he shouldered the burden of Too many lives.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Fortunately, it's all over." When raising troops, everyone was nervous.
Yun Qing thought about the current day, smiled and said: "Yeah, it's all over, and the current day is like a dream." In the past, even if they pretended to be grandchildren, they couldn't have enough food and clothing, but now he is himself Now that they are the masters of the country, the soldiers began to pay attention to food and clothing. Such a comparison is not like a dream.
Yuxi smiled, in fact, not only Yunqing, but also she felt that the current day was like a dream. Because I am too happy, I am always afraid of losing, so I will worry about gains and losses.
As soon as the two talked, they forgot the time, and when they wanted to sleep, they heard a burst of crying. Yuxi looked helpless: "Brother Rui and the others are awake." The triplets are all angry about getting up, and they will cry when they are forced to get up. And the three of them cried together, so they couldn't sleep anymore.
Yun Qing held Yu Xi down, got up and said, "Go to sleep for a while! I'll go." Yu Xi has the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, if she doesn't sleep in the afternoon, she won't be in good spirits. And he sleeps when he has time, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have time not to sleep.
When Yuxi got up, she changed her mind and said, "Okay, then you go and take care of them, I'll sleep for a while."
After Yunqing went out for a while, the triplets stopped crying. Yuxi felt that Yunqing was good at taking care of children, so she fell asleep at ease.
This sleep, sleep until the end before waking up. As soon as she opened her eyes, Meilan said with a smile on her face: "Princess, General Yu and Sister Zijin are back." The two arrived when Yuxi was sleeping.
Yuxi knew that the two had returned, but she didn't expect to get home so soon: "Where are you now?"
Meilan helped Yuxi tidy up her clothes, and said, "My lord said you were sleeping, let them go to see the child first."
Yu Xi nodded, and asked: "How does Yu Zhi look like? Okay?" Losing an arm is not terrible, but he is afraid that he will be devastated.
Mei Lan said a little strangely: "I heard that General Yu lost an arm before, but this time I saw that his hands are fine. Princess, is there someone spreading rumors?"
Yu Xi was also very clear about this matter, and said: "Yu Zhi's left arm is injured, and he can't use his strength." Not to mention lifting heavy objects, even light objects are laborious, but no matter what, the hand is still there That's a good thing.
Mei Lan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Yuxi entered the room specially prepared for the triplets to play, and saw the triplets playing games with their heads down. Yuxi asked Mother Lan: "How did the prince coax Ah Rui and the others just now?" Yuxi was very curious about this. Every time she coaxed the triplets well, it took her a long time!
Mother Lan said with a smile: "The fourth young master won't cry when he sees the prince." Brother Rui and Brother Xuan are actually easier to coax, but Brother Yu is more difficult to deal with. With Yunqing taking care of Brother You, things will naturally be much easier.
Yuxi was a little curious, and said: "It's also strange, why is the prince so fond of Ayou!"
Mother Lan smiled and said: "It is said that one thing can be subdued by one thing, the prince can subdue the fourth young master!" The people who take care of Ah You know how bad-tempered Ah You is. Unexpectedly, he was as obedient as a kitten in front of the prince.
Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No matter what, it's a good thing." Brother Yu likes Nian Yunqing, and she can relax a lot. It was more than a month ago, but she was tired.
Zi Jin and Yu Zhi heard that Yu Xi had woken up, and brought their two children over to see her.
Looking at the two men who were dark and thin, Yu Xi's eyes were a little red, and she said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back safely." Every time a war kills a lot of people, it's better than anything else for the two of them to come back safely.
Yu Zhi knelt on the ground with his wife and children, kowtowed three heads to Yu Xi and said, "If it wasn't for the princess, I wouldn't have Yu Zhi today. If the princess doesn't dislike me, Zijin and I will stay in the mansion from now on. I left." Although his left hand was useless, his right hand was still there.
Yu Zhi was not a person with great ambitions, if not for Zijin, he would not have entered the military camp, let alone go to war. In the past few years, he has actually been worried about this child. The injury this time was a blessing in disguise, because Zijin was finally willing to disarm and return to the field to return to the life of ordinary people. So even though he lost an arm, Yu Zhi was not only not decadent, but rather happy. This made Zijin, who knew the inside story, angry and guilty.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Get up quickly, what are you doing kneeling." She stepped forward and helped Zijin up herself. As for Yu Zhi, he asked the servant girl to help him up.
Taking the hair ball from Zijin's hand and hugging her in her arms, Yu Xi said: "How can you dislike it? I'm too happy that you can stay in the mansion! And if you don't leave in the future, it will be good for Ruonan and A Sheng "A Sheng is the big name, and Mao Tuan is the nickname.
Ruonan looked at Yu Zhi and asked: "Father, are you and mother really not going away?" Although Ruonan is young but very smart, knowing that her parents will not lie in front of Yuxi, she purposely face to face.
Yu Zhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, father and mother will stay in the mansion from now on and won't go anywhere."
Ruonan raised her head and asked Yuxi: "Princess, is what my father said true?" Yuxi kept asking Ruonan to call her aunt, but Zijin refused and insisted that Ruonan call Yuxi Princess.
Yu Zhi felt sour in his heart, no wonder he just heard that he would not leave in the future, the child didn't say anything, because he didn't believe what he said. Speaking of these years, what the husband and wife are most sorry for is the child Ruonan.
In fact, it's not Ruo Nan's fault, it's because of Zi Jin. Zijin always promises a lot to Ruonan, but in the end she fails to keep it. After a long time, Ruonan also lost trust in them. This also caused Ruonan to believe Yuxi's words more, because Yuxi kept her word.
Yuxi glanced at Zijin with a guilty face, smiled and nodded at Ruonan, and said, "What your father said is true."
A smile appeared on Ruonan's face, which made Yuxi's heart sore. (to be continued)
