Rebirth of First Daughter - Chapter 2265

When Yunqing abdicated, he took Yuxi back to the northwest. That time they stayed in Ho City for ten days, and then they went to Yucheng. I didn’t expect to step here again. It was more than 30 years later. How time flies!

Looking at the four big characters of “Pingxi Palace” on the plaque, Yuxi sighed and said: “it’s true that things are right and people are wrong.”

Qi you supported her and said, “mother, let’s go in and have a look.” Here is where he grew up, so his feelings are very different. Even if I have been away for decades, I still have a nostalgia for this place.

Back then, people came in and out here, and it was very lively. But now, it’s cold.

Around the main hall, Qi you looked at the bare yard and asked, “where is the old tree here?”

The steward said, “this tree has been hollowed out by termites. It was blown down by a strong wind three years ago.”

Qiyou is a little sad. If they live here all the time, there will be a special person to check these plants and trees every year. Now there are only 20 servants left in Pingxi palace to take charge of the daily sweeping work, and they have no time to take care of these.

After settling down Yuxi, Qiyou went to the yard where he used to live, and turned around. The pattern of the house remained basically unchanged. But there are no flowers and trees in the yard.

At dinner in the evening, Qiyou said, “Niang, this house is a lot of dilapidated now. Mother, if you leave this house empty, sooner or later it will collapse. ”

“Who do you want to live in?” Unless it’s the cloud family, no one else has the courage to live in.

Qiyou didn’t think so much, so he said it casually. Pingxi palace is where they live. Only the vassal can live. No one else is qualified to live.

Yuxi did not comment on this.

After two days’ rest, Qixuan asked Yuxi: “Niang, when shall we go to Yucheng?” It’s June now, and it’s getting hot. If you want to go to Yucheng, you have to be early. If not, we won’t be able to go back to the capital before winter.

Yuxi shook his head and said, “I won’t go to Yucheng. This time, I will stay in the palace for more time. ” She didn’t have much affection for Yucheng, and she only stayed in Yucheng for more than three years. And those years were not good memories.

The two brothers have no objection. They are mainly accompanying Yu Xi’s distraction, and has the final say to Na Yuxi.

Yuxi said: “if not old, I would like to Huashan again.” She and Yunqing went to Huashan once. At that time, both of them were healthy and climbed up by themselves. In the evening, I spent the night on the mountain. The next day, watching the sun rise, it was beautiful.

Thinking of Yunqing, Yuxi looks a little gloomy. Unconsciously, the old man has left her for more than half a year.

Seeing Yuxi’s look, Qiyou quickly changed the topic: “Niang, let’s have mutton at noon! I always feel that the mutton in Beijing is not as delicious as here. ”

Yuxi said with a smile, “your father always says that the mutton in Beijing is not as delicious as that in Yucheng.” Even if the sheep was sent by Yucheng, he didn’t think it was delicious.

In fact, it’s not that the meat is not delicious, but that the atmosphere and mood no longer exist when eating.

Of course, eating too much good food and getting tricky are also reasons.

Qixuan said: “well, I haven’t eaten roast whole sheep for a long time. Mother, how about a whole plate of roast mutton at noon? ” I remember eating my father’s roast mutton for the first time. I really feel that there is no more delicious food in the world. It’s a pity that I can’t eat any more than I can remember.

Qiyou was reluctant: “if you want to eat roast mutton, let’s go to Fuyun restaurant to eat it! What we eat at home is tasteless. ” Fuyun restaurant has branches in every provincial capital, even in some particularly wealthy states.

Because of this, the annual profit of Fuyun restaurant is amazing.

“Go to Fuyun restaurant!” The cook who brought me the food was very good, especially the vegetarian food. But he doesn’t know how to cook whole sheep.

Qiyou said with a smile: “Niang, what do you want to eat? I’ll let someone go first.” It’s OK to wait there. They have plenty of time anyway. But if you don’t book in advance, some dishes will be gone.

Yuxi said: “lotus seed chicken, stir fried lotus root dice, and then order a stir group!”

As soon as he said that, he heard the reply from the guard that Cao Ren, the governor of Shaanxi Province, wanted to see him.

Yuxi is impatient to see the following minister, toward Qiyou way: “you go to greet him!” Since the ministers knew that they had come to Ho City, they could not have stopped to visit.

Qiyou said bitterly, “OK!” He was impatient to deal with these officials. But there’s no one here but him.

He exchanged greetings with the chief envoy for a long time before he sent them away. When I got back to the backyard, I heard that Yuxi had stopped.

Qiyou said, “third brother, let’s go out and have a look.” He can’t bear it, not to mention how he can stay in the house.

Qixuan hesitated and said, “if you don’t wait for your mother to wake up, we’ll go out with her.” Leaving my mother alone in the house, the two brothers run out to eat, drink and have fun. Qixuan feels sorry.

Qiyou said with a smile, “don’t you know my mother’s temperament? She’ll find something to do without seeing us

Finally, Qixuan goes out with Qiyou.

When Yuxi wakes up, he hears the two brothers go out and laugh. Then he asks Bingmei, “have you written down everything about Chen Xuan?”

Bingmei nodded and said, “it’s all written down. Empress dowager, will she still use her original name when she makes up the story? ”

Yuxi took a look at Bingmei and said, “I’m sure I’ll use a pseudonym, and the background has to be changed. I can’t let people see her identity.” With the real name and surname, it spread in the future that all the girls in the Chen family would not marry and would have to die old.

Bingmei laughed: “the Empress Dowager is wise.”

In the evening, Qiyou brought back two cages of soup bags for Yuxi: “Niang, it’s still hot. Eat it quickly.” It’s not delicious when it’s cold.

Yuxi didn’t eat two soup dumplings, and the others were given to the people around him.

In addition to eating two soup dumplings, Yuxi also ate a bowl of congee with Euryale seeds and job’s tears, a dish of fried cucumber and a dish of fried vegetable heart.

After 60 years old, Yuxi had porridge in the morning and at night. But in the morning to be more abundant, and sometimes drink goat’s milk and eggs or chicken soup. But in the evening, I only eat porridge and vegetables. However, she takes a medicated meal every day.

After Yuxi finished eating, Qiyou said with admiration: “Niang, I really admire you.” After decades of eating so light, not everyone can hold on.

Yuxi said: “now you don’t listen to me, eat light, in two years to find all kinds of problems, when the time is too late.”

The reason why Yuxi, who is 87 years old, is healthy is that she insists on a light diet and exercise all these years. It can be said that Kai Hao’s health is not as good as her.

Qiyou shook his head and said, “no more.” He would rather live a few years less than eat tasteless food every day. If you can’t eat and drink, what’s the fun of living.

When walking in the courtyard, Yuxi said, “tomorrow, let’s go to Caotang temple.”

Qiyou was startled: “mother, are you going to Caotang temple?” No wonder he made a fuss, but Yuxi had never been to a temple.

Yuxi said with a smile, “I’m not going to burn incense and worship Buddha, but I want to see the Babao Jade Pagoda.”

The tower is said to be made of jade from the western regions. The color of jade is brilliant, and each piece of jade is different. Yuxi has lived in Ho City for nearly 20 years. He only heard of his name, but never went to the tobacco temple. Last time I came to the Northwest with Yunqing, I was in a hurry. This time, Yuxi wants to see it.

The next day, before dawn, the mother and son set out. On the way, I met many people who went to the tobacco temple. Some of these people go to burn incense and worship Buddha, and others go to visit.

When he got to the tobacco temple, Yuxi got out of the carriage and saw many young men and women. These young people come with their elders.

Qiyou said, “mother, shall we go to burn incense and worship Buddha first, or shall we go to see the pagoda and the lying stone first?” It is said that there is a big stone in the well of the tobacco temple. Every time there is a snake lying on the stone, there is a white fog rushing up to the sky, winding around the capital city of ho. Therefore, this bedroom is also a view of the temple.

Yuxi said with a smile: “just look at the pagoda.” A stone, what to see.

After seeing the Jade Pagoda and seeing that it was still early for lunch, Yuxi went to walk on the back mountain. This time Qixuan and Qiyou did not follow, but went to the temple.

Yuxi picked up a quiet place to go, the result is more and more remote, go to the back, do not know where to go.

When they were ready to turn around and go back, they heard a whimper of crying.

A clear and soft voice said: “nine Niang, you come with me!”

The woman cried and said, “if I go with you, what can my parents do? LiLang, I can’t be so selfish. ”

Yuxi shook his head helplessly. It’s strange that she didn’t let qintianjian count the days when she went out this time. It’s bad luck to go out. If not, it would not happen all the time.

The man said coldly, “if they really love you, they won’t give you to the old thief Cao Ren as a concubine. Niniang, if you don’t go with me, will you be a concubine for Cao Ren? ”

Yuxi Yixia, the minister called Cao Ren. I don’t know if they are talking about Cao Ren. If it was Cao Ren, it would have to be dealt with.

The woman cried: “LiLang, I…” she couldn’t make up her mind to elope with her.

Yuxi turned and went back.

Unable to hear their voices, Yu Xi said to Yu Zhi, “let’s check the identities of these two people. In addition, make a good investigation of Cao Ren. ” The attendants around her either left or were in poor health. It’s Yu Zhi, who is in good health and has been working with her all the time.

Yu Zhi nodded his head and said, “good.”

On the way, I met Qiyou and Qixuan who came to look for her. See two people a face after afraid of appearance, jade Xi smile a way: “how, this is?”? I’ve only taken two steps in the back mountain, but I still can’t afford to lose it. ”

Qiyou said, “Niang, there are poisonous snakes in this mountain. Just now, I heard some people playing in the back mountain and being bitten by poisonous snakes. ”

“If there is a will, they are not afraid of poisonous snakes.” With that, Yuxi asked, “I’ve been bitten by a poisonous snake. If I don’t detoxify it in time, my life will be in danger.”

Qiyou said: “the monks in the temple have given them poison and medicine. Now it’s OK.”

Qixuan added: “originally I wanted to give them antidote pills, but it didn’t work.” When I went out, I brought not only Taiyi, but also a lot of herbs and precious pills.

At noon, there are six vegetarian dishes and one soup. They are luohanzhai, steamed egg with bean curd, jade rolls, sweet and sour lotus root chops, five treasure fresh vegetables, vegetarian meat, and mushroom soup.

Qiyou took two mouthfuls and said, “it’s far worse than the Zhaicai of Lingshan temple.” Lingshan temple is famous for its delicious food. Qiyou went to eat with admiration, and after he came back, he was full of praise. He is to say to move to open Xuan to eat twice, jade Xi is indifferent.

Yuxi said with a smile: “don’t eat if you don’t like it. When you go down the mountain, you’ll find your own food. ”

Qiyou really has this plan.

In the evening, Yu Zhi told Yu Xi what he had found out: “empress dowager, the couple you met in the daytime are nine girls from the Lu family, a salt merchant. The nine girls were raised by Mrs. Lu. The man is the third young master of Zhao Ji’s grain shop. ”

See Yu Zhi voice is hoarse, Yuxi said: “drink tea again, don’t worry.”

After a cup of tea, Yu Zhicai said: “the Lu family offended the Salt Transport Secretary. They were worried that they would not get the salt guide, so they wanted to give the nine girls to Cao Ren as concubines.”

“How old is Cao Ren this year?” As he grew older, Yuxi didn’t pay much attention to the affairs in the court. Not to mention the local feudal officials, even the important officials in the capital, she didn’t know much about them. However, it is certainly not young to be able to be a political envoy.

Yu Zhi said: “Cao Ren is three out of fifty this year. This man likes young and beautiful girls very much. After five years as governor of Shaanxi Province, he accepted four concubines. Besides, I have a group of dancers. ” These concubines are all pretty young women in their twenties and eighties.

“What else?”

Yu Zhi knew what Yuxi wanted to know and said, “except for the problem of lust, the others are OK. I haven’t made any money in Shaanxi in the past five years, and my political achievements are not bad. ”

Yuxi said: “let the dark Wei check carefully.” If there is no corruption and bribery, we will not let it go.

Two days later, the mother and son went to Qujiang for a visit. As a result, there was a rain on the way, and Yuxi had a cold wind on the boat, which made him uncomfortable that night.

Bingmei sees that she is not feeling well and calls Doctor Zhang to come. A call Taiyi, nature also startled Qiyou with Qixuan.

“I’ll prescribe two patches of medicine first,” Zhang said after his pulse diagnosis Yuxi’s health has always been strong, take two pieces of medicine should be able to be good. But just in case, I didn’t dare to say it too thoroughly.

Qiyou knows the reason for some chagrin, and should have advised her mother not to take the boat.

Yuxi leaned on the head of the bed and said with a smile, “you can catch a cold in every boat. It’s really old and useless.”

Qiyou coaxed Yuxi and said, “Niang, you are not old at all. When we go out with you, people think we are brothers and sisters! ”

Yuxi jokingly said: “you are not old? Qiyou, you are also a bad old man. ”

Qiyou doesn’t agree with Yuxi’s words: “I’m not a bad old man. I’m an old man with temperament, charm, elegance and humor.”

Qixuan feels that Qiyou has no lower limit.

After taking medicine for three days, Yuxi was cured. But Yuxi did not dare to go out again, but stayed in the house to keep quiet.

Qiyou asked, “mother, when the weather is cool, shall we go back to the capital?”

Yuxi shook his head and said, “if we don’t go back to the capital, we’ll turn to Jiangnan.”

Qixuan said: “Niang, we are afraid that we will not be able to go back to the capital for the Spring Festival.”

In three years, she and Yunqing stayed in Jiangnan for three months. The scenery in Jiangnan is really picturesque. Every time I think about it, I want to go again: “this year, I will spend the Spring Festival in Jiangnan, and I won’t go back to Beijing.” If we don’t go to Jiangnan this time, we won’t have another chance.
