Chapter 235 Shun Teng

July 29th is the day when Cao Quan was in funeral. Since he was about to be buried at the ancestral tomb of Fengrun, Zhili, Cao Yin left Cao Shuo to take care of his mother and took his other three nephews to help the spirit north. Cao Yong and Wuer walked with him, but instead of going to the funeral, he wanted to go back to Shandong to take leave. The 40-day funeral leave was only more than ten days left.

Although Li was determined to take his niece to the East Mansion to raise him, seeing that Zhao Jia was still unhappy these days, when she mentioned Wuer, Cao Quan and others cried. They were afraid that she would make her sad, so they agreed to Cao Yong's proposal to bring Wuer back to Shandong.

Cao Yong originally suggested that his mother take Wu'er to Shandong with the ship to send the spirits. After his father went to Fengrun to bury Cao Quan, he would also stay in Shandong for a short while and rest.

But how could Li do this in the situation of Zhaojia? Besides, Cao Yin is no longer there in the Weaving Mansion, and she is now out, and she doesn’t know who to entrust the internal and external affairs to. Moreover, although Cao Shuo stayed in Jiangning and did not go north with his uncle and brother, he was just a half-year-old child. How could he be assured to keep him?

Therefore, although Li was worried about the childbirth of his wife and was reluctant to leave, he still stayed in Jiangning. He could only wait for her husband to come back. Zhaojia was in a better situation and she could go to Shandong to visit her wife, her little grandson or her granddaughter.

Because he was traveling by water, the journey was very slow. Cao Yong was afraid that there would be too late. After two days of travel, he took Xiaoman, Zhang Yi, Zhao Tong and others to get off the boat first, asking Cao Yanxiao and Cao Yanwei to stay on the boat, and waited until Shandong to escort Wu'er ashore back to Yizhou.

Although the letters from Yizhou who have come to Yizhou these days say that it is safe, Cao Yong is still worried about Chu Yu. Calculate the days, her belly is eight months old, and it seems to be worrying when she is six months old. When she saw her, she was very fragile and sensitive because of her pregnancy. I wonder what it is now?

*

Chu Yu's life is not easy.

As her nephew's wife, she mourned for nine months for her husband's uncle and needed to move out of her main bedroom and live in the "Challen Room" for three months. However, because she has two bodies and children in her belly, she only needs to be as good as the meaning. The "Challen Room" is set up in the warm room to the east of the main house, the fire kang was removed and a soft couch was laid.

Although Cao Yong was not in the mansion, Chu Yu was doing well with Zi Jing and several nannies, but after he sent the manager and the old lady to Beijing to give gifts, they were a little wrong.

When asked about the situation in the capital, when talking about other residences, the two mothers talked about the situation in the respective residences, which was fine. Because Jiangning's letter of mourning was sent to the capital, they brought back the list of favors from each residence.

The Prince Ping County Mansion, Jueluo Family, Zhaojia Family, Fucha Family, Wanyan Family, Thirteenth Prince Mansion, etc., are all mentioned one by one. Only when the Prince Chun County Mansion was mentioned, the two mothers were a little flickering in their words and their expressions were a little stiff.

Chu Yu is not old, but she grew up in the palace. She observed her words and expressions, thinking that there must be allusions. When she thought of Ama's mother, she felt a little panicked, and her expression showed a little impatient, and she looked at the two mothers' faces getting colder and colder.

These two mothers hesitated all the way, and really didn't know whether they should tell the mistress about the Prince Chun's Mansion to their maid. After all, she is heavy. If she makes mistakes due to worries, who can afford it? She originally wanted to go back to Yizhou to discuss first and then decide how to act.

The Piansheng Amethyst is not a person who is outspoken. When they knew that they were back, they told Chu Yu.

The two mothers wanted to hide it from it, but they were afraid that the mistress would complain and not be welcomed when she knew the truth. As she wanted to say it, she was afraid that the mistress would feel uncomfortable. She was unconsciously unsure of her mind.

Not to mention Chu Yu, even the amethyst sitting opposite them could have noticed something was wrong.

Chu Yu is the authentic emperor's noble daughter. When she held her face up, the two mothers were trembling as they watched, and finally they were eating and talking about the reason. Hongxin, the fourth prince of the Chun County Prince's Mansion, "won the joy", and several concubines and princesses were both in the inner palace to "avoid acne", but they failed to enter the Chun County Prince's Mansion.

When I left Beijing and went to search for the news, I didn't have a clear message.

The fourth prince Hongxin, on the 11th of this year, is the same as the eldest prince Hongshu and the second prince Hongzhuo, both of them are from the concubine Nala of the county prince Chun and the same mother brother of Chu Yu.

When Chu Yu heard this, his hands and feet were cold, and waved his hands to send the two women down, and then he couldn't speak in a daze. Speaking of which, Prince Chun's concubine had six young princes and seven young princes and thirteen children, but he only stood down with four princes and four princes. The other two young princes and three young princes died, three of whom died of acne epidemic.

Seeing Chu Yu's face was pale, Zi Jing was shocked. She stood up and walked to Chu Yu's side, saying, "Princess, the fourth prince's servant has seen it a few times. Looking at her face full of blessings, she will definitely be safe! If the princess is thinking about it, otherwise she would ask the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to come back to worship and pray for the fourth prince!"

Chu Yu was anxious. When he heard Amethyst's words, if he saw the life-saving straw, he hurriedly asked: "Is this... effective?"

Seeing Chu Yu's face full of worry, Zi Jing nodded with a smile and said, "A sincere heart will make you feel good. As long as the princess's sincerity comes, the Buddha will naturally protect the Fourth Prince?"

Chu Yu's eyes turned red, he reached out to hold Amethyst's arm and said, "Sister Amethyst, Chu Yu is sincere, but what if..."

Seeing her expression, Zi Jing felt disbelief, and smiled and said, "If you don't say anything else, it's our uncle. I've seen Xi back then. Isn't this good now?"

This is not the Amethyst Curse Cao Yong. The old lady said that after several days of her lifetime, Taoist pricks were a blessing. She had acne peacefully and had no pockmarks on her face. She would definitely be able to live for a long time.

When Chu Yu heard this, his face closed his joy, closed his eyes and whispered: "The princesses from other princesses, and the princes have also had acne safely!"

Mei Jing thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "Prince, don't you know the danger of our uncle in July that year? Not to mention slaves, even masters and wives were almost desperate. Only the old lady looked as usual, praying three times a day on the Bodhisattva's face, and then eating and drinking. If you have nothing to do, you still ask me to make fun of cards! Talking and laughing is no different from ordinary people. This is not that I don't care about the old lady! When it comes to the ground, the old lady kept it in the old lady's yard. When I was a child, I compared the old lady with the old lady.

The wife is close to each other. If the old man is the old man and his wife's half of his life is the old man's life. How can the old man not love? Only when she is free will she tell the reason to the slaves. The cycle of life and death has fate. Some people have weaker lives, while others have strong lives. In this muddy, you can detect the love of elders and relatives. If the elders are stronger, please ask the Bodhisattva to bless them and disperse the little ghosts. It is better than being sad and despair all day long. In this case, even if there is no impermanence coming to the door, it will be attracted!"

Chu Yu was a little bit hopeful and asked, "Has the prince survived the danger like this?"

Azuki stopped smiling and nodded solemnly: "Who is I? The princess doesn't know yet. Even if I lose my heart and be crazy, I will not talk to the old man!"

Although these words were said to comfort Chu Yu, they were not made up by Zijing out of thin air. Although Cao Yin had concealed the kidnapping of Cao Yong, many families in the east and west governments had children, and they were family and in-laws. Who did not know in private? They just didn't dare to spread gossip at the weaving house. When they avoided their masters, they would occasionally say something.

Chu Yu has been married into the Cao family for nearly two years. He also knows how much she knows about Zi Jing. He knows that she knows the most. She is not a talkative person on weekdays, let alone make up lies.

What's more, now he was frightened and uneasy. When he was in powerlessness, he heard Amethyst and found the backbone. Chu Yu immediately asked Amethyst to help him go to the temple to invite the Bodhisattva to come back, and he also wanted to learn from Sun Taijun, pray for three incense sticks in the morning and evening, praying silently for his younger brother Hongxin.

Originally, Chuyu wanted to eat Duan Changzhai, but was persuaded by Mei Jing. In fact, according to the funeral ceremony, Chuyu should not be involved in meat or fruits these days. However, she has two bodies, and even if she does not keep this, she has no idea. After all, the importance of childbirth and cannot be ignored, otherwise even if she is fully filial, she will be a sinner of the Cao family.

Amethyst means that when worshiping Bodhisattvas, you should pay attention to the common ways of being acquaintance. These are things that "if you believe, you have, and if you don't believe, you don't", and no one can explain clearly. If Chu Yu believes that his younger brother is not at all, why should he have to eat vegetarian food with a big stomach and be too deliberate? It would be better to offer a few sticks of incense and ask someone to buy some fresh and interesting things outside and send someone to the fourth prince to deliver.

Although Chu Yu hesitated in his heart, he also knew that even for the sake of the children in his stomach, he had to calm down; otherwise, if the mother's body was not in good health or was in a depressed mood, it would hurt the baby in his stomach.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu gradually returned to normal and smiled all day long. However, there was no one late at night. When she was lying on the soft couch, she would frown, gently stroke her belly with her hands, and murmured: "Baby, let's pray for your fourth uncle together! Your fourth uncle is lively and friendly, you will definitely like him!" As he said that, he picked up a small rattle beside the pillow, shook it gently twice, but tears couldn't stop flowing out.

This rattle was given to his nephew or niece by Hongxin. It came with various gifts from Prince Chun’s Mansion in March.

Thinking about what her husband said that crying would hurt the baby's eyes, Chu Yu forced himself to hold it back and stopped letting the tears come out, murmured, "Mr., why haven't you come back yet?"

After wiping his tears, Chu Yu remembered what Azuki said again, and he still believed it a little bit, so he said in his heart: "It's okay, I will spend it safely, and the fourth brother will get better!"

He was thinking randomly until it was clear that Chu Yu fell asleep.

Cao Yong got off the boat and changed his horse. He walked quickly for three days and returned to Yizhou.

Because he was thinking about his little wife, after Cao Yong returned to the mansion, he did not go to the front yamen and went directly to the main courtyard of the inner house. Xiyun and Xicai were waiting outside the warm cabinet. Seeing that Cao Yong was back, he didn't have time to greet him, so he whispered: "The prince-in-law is still asleep!"

Cao Yong nodded, took a lighter pace, and entered the warm room.

Chu Yu's face was covered with tears, and his right hand, exposed outside the quilt, was tightly grasping a small rattle. Although he was asleep, his face was clustered with his eyebrows locked, which looked very pitiful.

Cao Yong thought about it for a while, frowned and retreated, called Xiyun and others to the corridor, and asked, "Is there a letter from the royal palace coming here? Fourth Prince... What's wrong with the Fourth Prince?"

He also recognized the rattle because it was given by his younger brother, Chu Yu often took it in his hands and played with it.

Xiyun nodded and whispered: "Reply to the prince, the fourth prince is happy. The princess is very worried these two days! But he is not revealed during the day, but he must cry one or two times at night!"

"Seeing joy?" Cao Yong heard it at first, before he could react, he thought it was "smallopsis", but his mind was a little confused. He clearly remembered that the Kangxi Dynasty had already started to "smallopsis", and there were worships dedicated to "smallopsis" in the palace. Why did the Fourth Prince still get infected with smallpox?

After receiving the letter, Amethyst knew that Cao Yong had come back and came to the yard here. Hearing that the princess was still asleep, she sighed and said nothing.

Cao Yong asked Amethyst: "I didn't talk about the capital, but when I was in the south, I also heard about the 'cupus' incident. This should not be strange among the people. Why have I never heard of anyone in our mansion planting it?"

Amethyst nodded: "I have heard some of the 'cupus' about 'cupus'. Although the 'cupus' method is not difficult and the master can find it, it can only be planted when acupus is popular outside. After all, it is a dangerous thing. I am always afraid that if it is not known whether I have contracted it or not, who would take the initiative to 'cupus' in advance?"

Cao Yong became more confused as he heard it, and he said in confusion: "There is still a danger of 'enophobia'? Isn't it just a small scratch on his arm with two 'enophobia'?"

Zi Jing said: "I don't know about this specific method. I just heard that after 'pox', flowers will appear. Among the ten people, there must be two or three people who can't stand it! Who can know whether they are among the seven or eight people or two or three people who can't stand it."

When Cao Yong heard Amethyst mention the danger of vaccination, he involuntarily touched his left arm. In this position in his previous life, there was a cross scar the size of a thumb cover, which was the scar left by his "vaccination" after he was one year old. Speaking of which, anyone born eight years ago had this on his arms. A few years later, when his niece was born, there was no such thing as "vaccination" because "smallpox" had long been declared eliminated. Even the knife on his arm was wronged, but his parents did not dare to believe the news of the so-called "smallpox" just in case.

When I remembered the "small infection" that Amethyst said just now, I always felt something was wrong. Cao Yong said: "Why does 'small infection' have to wait for acne to spread? This is not troublesome. Isn't it better to be prepared in advance?"

Cao Yong asked in a confused manner, and Amethyst was even more confused. After a while, he said: "The uncle asked something strange, and I dared not respond randomly! But since it is a 'human acne', when there are no patients, where can I find acne to be fed?"

It’s not that Cao Yong was ignorant. In his previous life, "smallpox" was too far away from him, and his only understanding of this was just to prevent "vulva" from growing into "vulva". In this life, he had heard about the saying "vulva" and "planting flowers". Bento is one thing. Who would have thought that there was "human acne"? I can’t blame the saying in later generations. Among the Qing emperors in the future, there were those who died of smallpox. It turned out that it was because of this that cowpox was not discovered and popularized again.

Cao Yong thought of Hongxin's lively and cuteness, and was also worried. He was still thinking about how to comfort Chu Yu, but he heard someone say behind him: "Mr.?"

But Chu Yu woke up and heard the sound of talking vaguely. He got up and came out of the house. When she saw her husband coming back, she looked happy. The couple met again after a young separation, so naturally there was another common gossip.

How are my parents-in-law in Jiangning in good health, how do I take care of my uncle’s funeral, and how are my younger brothers and sisters in good health, so on.

Outside the Daotai Mansion, at the corner across the road, a man in coarse cloth clothes leaned against the corner of the wall to bask in the sun. He had a beard on his face, his skin was a little dark red, and he looked like he was in his thirties. He looked like an ordinary coolie who was tired and was looking for a place to rest.

On the inside of the Daotai Mansion, Wei Hei sneered, looked at the man in the distance, and said to Ren Shuyong and Ren Jiyong behind him: "You two guys have a good look, can you see if you can't see?"

Uncle Ren walked along the crack of the door, squinted his eyes and looked at the man in thick clothes in the corner of the wall. He looked at it from head to toe several times, and said, "The beard looks real, and the jacket is not wrong. However, the pair of cloth shoes on the soles of his feet are also old, but they are really clean and too neat, not like they are consuming food by force!"

Ren Jiyong asked, "Master Wei, this guy has been wandering around for three days. He has changed his clothes every day, as if he is staring at our yamen. Who is the one who? Why don't I take the two of you to detain this guy and ask carefully?"

Wei Hei said: "If you are stupid, if you encounter someone who is hard, you will not be broken! Whether you are trying to attack our yamen or our adults, you must know that the wind is coming from that side! Follow the clues and never leave the patient's prescription!" He said this, but he was a little strange and said to himself: "Why do you always look familiar to this guy? You can't remember which one it is? Look at this bad look, you don't look like a friend in the world!"

Thinking of this, he turned around and glared at the Ren brothers and said, "It's just like this, I've been following you for two days. You've all lost all of you, it's not embarrassing to be embarrassed!"

Although the two brothers were not convinced, they still had no words to defend themselves. In the end, Ren Jiyong said shyly: "Master Wei, you can't blame my third brother and me for this. This guy is a rat, so he is very careful! He turned the roads in the city one by one, and it didn't seem like he was about to arrive for half an hour. If he was not careful, he would lose it!"
