Concubine Wuning

Hong Zhe coaxed He Qing over with a few words, and Zhao Xi accompanied He Qing with a smile for a while, and they left after dinner.

"Brother San went to the study." Chunxia stepped forward and said to He Qing.

He Qing frowned, then shook her head again, "It's still so late, let Nanny Fang get ready, don't delay too late."

Chun Xia nodded, lowered her body and went out.

Sibei Le slept in the study tonight, not going anywhere.Just thinking about Hongzhang, He Qing couldn't sleep, and went out with her, so her bones would have already collapsed.Recently, he had to exercise diligently, and the road schedule was occasionally disrupted day and night. He Qing was sober, so he got up and made three bowls of fermented glutinous rice and boiled eggs.

Sweet rice wine, with the aroma of baked eggs.

He Qing asked Nanny Luo to take two bowls to the study, and took one bowl to Zhaoxi's inner room.Zhao Xi yawned, with cute little beads in her eyes, her hazy expression paused, "Well, what fragrance?"

Faintly, and dispersed.Zhao Xi's nose is very sharp, and as soon as she finished speaking, Sheberry shook her head in a daze, "Maybe it's the fragrance of flowers in the yard."

As the days and nights get darker, the most special part of Miaohe Hall suddenly stands out.Everything is quiet, and all kinds of flowers that are picked and placed are blooming in profusion, wantonly revealing their fragrance, lingering in the heart.This is especially the place where Chaoxi lived, because Hongzhuo got up in the morning and went to class in the same way, every day, and they were brothers and sisters of direct relatives, so they moved to live in the east courtyard.Every spring and summer, you can always smell the fruity fragrance.Autumn and winter are also the unstoppable breeze in the backyard, blowing the cold fragrance, light and intoxicating.

He Qing entered the main room with hot fermented glutinous rice and boiled eggs. Zhao Xi immediately lifted the bedding and pulled soft embroidered shoes to greet her.He Qing dodged sideways and looked at the half-opened window in the room, "This nose is really sharp, so you're not afraid of eating?"

Zhao Xi shook her head with a smile on her face, followed He Qing, and couldn't help but tugged at the corner of He Qing's clothes, "How did Er Ji know that Zhao Xi wanted to eat?"

"Which day don't you eat something?" He Qing put down the food with a smile, and sat on the embroidered pier, "You are too busy looking at the presents, and you don't eat much for dinner, so you must be hungry at night." The fermented glutinous rice contains wine , He Qing didn't mix it much, but according to Zhao Xi's arrangement of going to bed soon after eating, it was the best sleeping medicine.What's more, children are not afraid to eat this and say they are fat.

Just talking about the gift, Zhao Xi turned around with a smile again, and turned over some colorful soft paper at the bedside.The little girl is small, so she is especially careful when holding the soft paper. She can only see that she has grasped the bamboo strips below, a pair of horn-like thin soft paper with two round Gulu's eye-like drawings.Zhao Xi walked a little anxiously, and her eyes trembled even more.

They are colorful butterflies and paper kites, all of which are exquisitely painted.Especially when He Qing took a closer look, she was even more sure.

He Qing was a little dazed, but Zhao Xi's eyes were full of anticipation and hope, "After this winter, how about Eji and Tiantian to fly a kite?"

Zhao Xi's liking and expectations were too straightforward, and He Qing couldn't bear her rejection after just one glance.I couldn't help but took a look at the butterfly paper kite and nodded, "It seems like it was yesterday. You, Koromafa, found a master to make paper kites for Eji, and said that you would go out as soon as spring came. The little granddaughter is stubborn."

He Qing was full of emotions, with indescribable emotions in her heart.Zhao Xi tilted her head and looked at it for a while, her eyes were full of cunning, "Er Ji is eating sweet vinegar?"

The words are full of pride.He Qing rolled her eyes, put the paper kite aside, and then realized why she was here, "Eat quickly, the fermented glutinous rice boiled eggs made by Erji himself, don't be playful after eating, go to bed early."

Zhao Xi glanced at the high kang on one side, and He Qing passed the spoon over, "Sit down at the table and eat."

"En." Zhao Xi didn't say anything, but lowered her head and took a sip.After getting the delicious food, Zhao Xi happily said countless good things to He Qing in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Xi didn't know what kind of words she got in He Qing's heart, so she ate with relish.He Qing smiled and wiped the sweat from Chao Xi's forehead with an embroidered handkerchief. The child ate at night either on the kang or on the bed.The room is now very warm from the earth dragon stove, and even sitting on the table, I sweated a lot.

He Qing read a few words, and Zhao Xi spooned it a few times for He Qing to taste.

Zhao Xi's head was buried in the bowl, and He Qing turned to look at the other gifts.One of the two mothers and daughters eats intently, the other concentrates on watching, and occasionally speaks a few words casually.Even if she didn't do anything, He Qing refused to leave.When Nanny Luo came back, she passed on Si Bei Le's words from generation to generation, that Hong Yan might stay in the study so that He Qing could rest early without waiting.

The two men ran to the front, He Qing simply turned his head and glanced at Zhao Xi.Zhao Xi's lips and teeth were delicious after eating, she smacked her lips and wiped her mouth with a cloth towel.He Qing approached Chaoxi, "Eji will sleep here tonight, okay?"

"Are we together?" Zhao Xi looked up at He Qing, without waiting for anyone to respond, nodded hurriedly, raised his voice, "Okay, Tiantian wants to sleep with Eji!"

Ever since Hongxuan was two or three years old, he stayed with Sibeile in Miaohetang, and expressed his attitude towards the fact that Chaoxi slept with Heqing from time to time. Zhaoxi really can't remember when she slept with Heqing last time up.Zhao Xi was so happy, and He Qing was also happy, so she told Mammy Luo to go back and talk to the servants in the yard.

He Qing purposely stayed idle with Chao Xi for a while, then said a few words in a crooked manner.

"It's one watch at Xu time, the sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the candles." The watchman shouted, and his men rang the clapper three times in a hurry.

It was three quarters of the clock, and He Qing closed her eyes and fell asleep.Zhao Xi snuggled into He Qing's arms as soon as she got into bed, and when He Qing looked down at the person who had just spoken, she actually fell into a deep sleep.It was too late, He Qing lay down with her arms around Chao Xi, closed her eyes and rested.

Great joy at the beginning of the year, Honghui seemed to be much better. When he followed into the palace, Kangxi asked the imperial doctor to check his pulse carefully again. Sifujin looked much better than before.He Qing always went to visit occasionally, talked about other things, looked at Hong Hui and smiled, and passed.

The New Year's Eve is much quieter, but it is rare to be happy in my heart.He Qing still asked her children to be by her side, even if Sibei Le couldn't come, she would ask those close to her to congratulate them one by one before giving money, and kept the kitchen busy with several tables of meals, which was lively and lively.Naturally, it was inevitable to send some to Si Fujin and others.

Kangxi's New Year's Day is only a few days, but in the blink of an eye, and because there are so many hungry people in Shandong and Hejian in Beijing, the five cities can't spread the porridge. Tong Guowei, Mingzhu and others were in charge.The ministers of the Han Dynasty and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also divided into three places for relief.

Now it's Kangxi's birthday, but this year's festival is not very enjoyable, and there is no big deal.At the beginning of the year, Kangxi told the people in the four prefectures of Jinan, Henan, and Shandong that their livelihoods were difficult, and they were not as good as before. It was because local officials, large and small, could not eliminate the disadvantages for the people, and set up names to collect from various sources.Because famine and natural disasters are not trivial, officials were sent to investigate.I just found out that last month, Shandong's political envoy revealed that Liu Ai, the former chief envoy, was the mastermind of pocketing his own pockets and was short of money from the treasury, while the former governor, Wang Guochang, actually ensured that there was no shortfall when he took stock of the treasury.In fact, the shortage of granaries reached more than [-] shi.

Kangxi's mouth was full of urgency, because of the flood, a large number of hungry people flowed into the capital, countless.On the ninth day of April, Kangxi gave Huang Dingji, Tang Youzeng, Xu Zhijin, Song Junye, Wang Yuan and others a joint impeachment of Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili. Vegetarian meals are just decorated with empty words.On the seventh day of May, Emperor Kangxi decreed that 94 prefectures and counties in Shandong Province will be exempted from the Kangxi 42 year flood disaster tax, and the collection of rations and grain grains for this year will be postponed.

He Qing couldn't make a fuss, but after the excitement of the New Year's Eve, he strictly ordered his servants not to be extravagant.The serious meal of the three mothers and sons has also been reduced to three dishes and one soup.The people below are just one dish and one soup, but the portion is sufficient, so it will not be difficult.

Wu Youzhi left Beijing early for important affairs in the court, and some officials in the middle were swaying, which made him walk between the capital and other places for two months.The Fucha family had a young son at the beginning of the year, and she was both happy and regretful.Because of this, the children's full moon banquet was also ordered by Wu Youzhi, and He Qing was specially invited to come over. The Zhang family and Er Ji from the Fucha family set up a table for their own family, and they just finished eating.

The child had the same face for a few days, and when He Qing went to see it every two days, it was already very different.Leaving aside the wrinkled face of the old man who was just born, the white and tender face is very pleasant.Although this child is not a girl, she is also lively.Mrs. Fucha was very distressed by this, "This child is making a fuss at this moment, it made people unable to sleep last night."

"But fell asleep?"

Fucha shook his head, rather helplessly.He Qing smiled and hugged her in her arms, touching her flushed sleeping face. This child doesn't recognize her birth, and she can smile when she sees her, "The child is still young, maybe he will love you in the future."

Naturally speaking the best words, Mrs. Fu Cha carried the child down.Mrs. Zhang originally planned to go back to Shanyang County. Mrs. Li was old, a man from Wuzhu Kingdom, and the mansion was always handed over to a servant, and it was shameful that the mistress was not at home.It's just that there are too many victims coming in, and there will be no safety on the way. Mrs. Zhang knew that she would not be able to go. Seeing that the child liked it, she felt a little anxious.He Qing came here specially this time, that is, to have a conversation with Mrs. Zhang, which was a bit of relief.

Not to mention the fact that the Fucha clan was around, for the sake of the government affairs and the two children, he was even more worried about Wu Youzhi's safety and fatigue.Recently, He Qing has been suffering from blue eyes, and Mrs. Zhang sighed and felt distressed, tabooing about the affairs of this house, saying that she was thinking of He Qing wholeheartedly.He Qing didn't have to worry about what to say, but Mrs. Zhang said she couldn't let go and left in no hurry.

He Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, stroked her face, tiredness gradually crept up.On the way back home, He Qing squinted and fell asleep. When he got off the carriage, Chun Xia was holding two ledgers, "Master is back."

Chun Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but He Qing had a severe headache, causing her to rub her forehead, "How is Fujin these days?"

"much better."

He Qing lowered her eyes, and went straight into her courtyard. After a month of turmoil, the main courtyard finally calmed down.It's just that it's hard for her, Sifujin put aside so many things and let her go to work alone.For this reason, He Qing even asked Mrs. Song to help her with some seemingly insignificant matters, and she was relieved.

Not long after Kangxi's birthday in March, Honghui's diagnosis was getting better, but he lost his health all of a sudden, and left in the middle of the night without making it through.At this point, Sifujin's whole body was broken, and the size of the mansion was ordered by Sibei Le, and Heqing took care of it.
