Chapter six hundred and sixty-ninth respect(2/2)
Chu Yu took a box that was foot tall from the end of the kang and took out a new sachet from it. It was half a palm-sized, and it was a gourd-style sachet with a royal blue bottom. Its apricot-colored thread embroidered with magpies climbing the plum blossoms, and two ears were sewn on the waist of the gourd.
Chu Yu tied Cao Yong around his waist with his own hands and said, "I know that the prince doesn't like the strong smell of flowers, and it contains mint."
"Newly stitched?" Cao Yong looked at it and frowned, "Don't you ask you to keep it well? If you are tired, it's fun?"
"It's okay. I either lie down or sit down all day long, fiddling with needles and thread in my hands, so it's better to make it more." Chu Yu said with a smile.
It's just an excuse, but I've tried my best. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done this without hiding it. It's just that I'm afraid that Cao Yong would stop him.
Cao Yong knew his wife's temper and refused to listen to advice at heart. After all, he had a lot of thoughts, and he couldn't bear it if he continued.
Dragon Boat Festival, also called "Daughter's Day" in the early years, girls at home wear new clothes, and daughters who go out often go back to their parents' home at this time.
Tianhui sat by the kang, and everything was new from the inside to the outside. She tied her "long-life thread" made of five-color silk threads on her neck and right wrist.
Looking at her daughter's face, Cao Yong couldn't help but pick her up and kissed her hard on her face.
After sleeping for a night, Tianhui probably got angry and was itchy by Cao Yong, and she laughed "giggled".
Chu Yu had already taken a "long-living thread" to her husband and tied it to her left wrist, and said, "Mr., the sun is coming out, we should go and pay tribute to the master, and the wife."
Cao Yong nodded, hugged Tianhui, and went to the main courtyard with his wife.
Under the corridor, there were already maids and mothers who were shuttled back and forth. When they saw Cao Yong’s family of three coming, they bent over and looked up, and the greetings were greetings.
In the room, Tianyou's voice came: "Grandma, why didn't you let him speak just now?"
"This is the old rule. You can't speak when you are 'long-living thread', otherwise you will have no tips." Li replied.
A maid has already entered the house to report, came out to pass the message, and said, "Uncle, grandma, master, madam, please come in."
After entering the room, Tianyou and Hang Seng climbed down from the kang.
Cao Yin and Li finished washing. Like Chu Yu, Li also had jewelry on his head and velvet flowers on his chest, which looked very festive.
Cao Yong put down Tianhui and joined Chu Yu to pay his respects to Cao Yin and his wife.
Because it is a holiday, breakfast is placed here and the whole family spends it together.
The rules of other people are mostly that women cannot serve the table and their wives cannot serve the table. The Cao family has a small population, and Chu Yu, a wife, has a noble status and can't eat it on the table a few times a year, so there are not so many restrictions.
Cao Yin was the parents and sat alone in the main seat. On the east side were Li's class, Tianyou, on the west side were Cao Yong and Chuyu, and on the lower side were Tianhui and Hang Seng.
In addition to meat and vegetables, and a few porridge dishes, there are three or four rice dumplings placed on it.
There were triangular rice dumplings and four-corner rice dumplings. Li took one for her husband and then for her two grandchildren. Cao Yong did it himself, while Chu Yu wanted to feed Tianhui for dinner.
Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat at a table. Cao Yin saw it and his face was much softer.
After breakfast, Cao Yin was going to the yamen, and Cao Yong sent his father outside the gate. The gate had already been inserted with mugwort, green, looking full of vitality...
Rehe Palace, Xiyu, Songhe Qingyue.
When Kangxi started, the princes and grandchildren who followed him gathered at the Empress Dowager's palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. Even the third prince who lived outside the palace was no exception.
The harem that followed the husband was headed by Concubine Yi, standing by the side, looking glamorous and joyful.
The Empress Dowager was in a very good mood and received courtesy from her children and grandchildren with a smile.
Among the princes of the escort, the twenty-seventh prince Yinyi was the youngest, only eleven years old, half a shorter than his brothers. When the empress dowager saw it, she greeted him with a smile and asked a few questions.
The prince was in the study room and played in the Manchu and Mongolian languages in elementary school, so Yinyi was very quick when he replied.
When the empress dowager heard this, she became more and more happy. She told the third prince, fifteen prince and others that she should take her younger brother and other things.
The twenty-year-old prince's biological mother, Gao Guiren, stood behind the concubine and was very happy to see the queen mother approaching her son.
The sixteenth prince was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and whispered to Kangxi: "The third prince of Prince Heshuo Jian's mansion came from the capital to Rehe from the capital to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Ama, and sent Dragon Boat Festival tributes. Should it be summoned now or the time to change..."
Yongqian is the legitimate son of Ya A Jiang A. The legitimate concubine of Prince Jian who died of illness was born. Although he was ranked third, because both of his brothers died of illness, he was the actual eldest son of Prince Jian’s mansion. However, because he was not old, he had not yet appointed a prince.
After hearing this, Kangxi turned around and reported to the Empress Dowager, he asked someone to tell him that Yongqian came to the Empress Dowager's Hall.
After a quarter of an hour, an eunuch reported that it was said that the third prince of Prince Jian’s mansion had arrived.
What comes with Yongqian is the Dragon Boat Festival tribute from Prince Heshuo Jian’s mansion this year, a huge and colorful rice dumpling.
The rice dumpling was several feet long and more than half a person tall. There was also a wooden lifting board underneath, which allowed two strong eunuchs to carry it.
Seeing the Empress Dowager and the Palace members straightened their eyes, even Kangxi felt a little curious.
