Chapter 727 Back to Jiangnan again
The first day of March in the 15th year of Yongkang is suitable for traveling. Emperor Yongkang visited Beijing for the third time.
Order the prince to supervise the country. Ming Shangshu Jian Yi, Yu De Yang Shiqi, Attendant Reader and Praise Shan Liang Qian assisted the crown prince to supervise the country.
It clearly stipulates the duties and powers that the prince can exercise in the country, "Only civil and military worship is eliminated, the four barbarians pay tribute, and the border is dispatched. Please do it, and Yu Chang does not need to hear about it."
The other civil affairs can be handled by the prince himself.
According to later history records, this time the crown prince supervised the country was the longest of the six times the prince supervised the country. After Emperor Yongkang set off from the capital, he never returned to Nanjing until he opened the new capital.
Emperor Yongkang made a northern tour and took away all the young concubines from the harem, and the palace walls suddenly became lonely.
Huo Xi remembered that she had promised her aunt to bring Xiao Yuer into the palace to stay with her for a few days, so she took Xiao Yuer into the palace.
Concubine Zhang Gui was really happy, she was no longer young, and Emperor Yongkang never took her with him during several tours to the north. He only said that she had a high status and left her to help with the palace affairs.
As soon as Xiao Yuer entered the palace, Concubine Zhang ignored the palace affairs and spent all day wandering around the palace with Xiao Yuer, wherever he wanted to go and what he wanted to eat, he was satisfied.
There has been no sound of children crying and making noise in the palace for many years. Once Xiao Yuer left, he became a little overlord, protected by imperial concubines and eunuchs, and no one dared to provoke him.
Let him wander around, various palaces, palaces, imperial gardens, back lakes, royal gardens... Wherever he wants to go, there are many people to accompany him, and he really doesn't want to leave.
On March 16th, Huo Xi's grandfather and his family returned to Jiangnan from exile.
Huo Xi got the news early and took a boat to meet him at the pier.
The whole family meets each other with tears in their eyes.
"Sister Ning, my son..."
Huo Xi hugged and wept with his grandparents. Mrs. Ma couldn't stop crying, thinking that she would never see her sister Ning again, but she didn't expect that God would meet her and reunite the whole family.
"Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle, First Aunt and Second Aunt..."
"Hey, Sister Ning!" The two aunts held her hand tightly, "Shangyong is far away, and I thought it would be difficult to meet again in this life. I didn't expect to see each other one day, and we could meet each other in the south of the Yangtze River." See."
Jiangnan, the capital, they are back again.
The family on the pier cried together. See you again in a few years, the former cousins have already married, and there is no trace of childhood.
"These are the adoptive parents of Ning'er and Nian'er, I'll give you a gift for my poor daughter..."
"Old lady, you can't do it!" Shi Yang and Huo Erhuai rushed to help.
"You should accept this gift. Without you, my grandchildren would not be alive."
Yang and Huo Erhuai refused to accept their resignations, so Li Shimian asked Li Dian to accept Li Dianzang to salute them.
Panicked, Yang and Huo Erhuai were at a loss for what to do, "If we can't do it, we treat the two children as our own, and we dare not bear such a big gift."
Didn't stop Li Dianshou's brother from saluting his wife and his wife on behalf of his sister.
Mr. Yang supported Mrs. Ma: "Nian'er went on an expedition last month and was unable to welcome you. When he returns, let him kowtow to you."
Mrs. Ma patted Mrs. Yang's hand, and kept nodding: "Nian'er is filial, his grandfather and I are looking forward to his safe return. Our grandparents and grandchildren always meet each other, and it will be much easier to meet this time. "
My grandparents didn't want to stay in the capital, so Huo Xi set up a Zhuangzi for them in Liuhe Town near the capital, and temporarily settled them in the Zhuangzi.
Here, Xiao Yuer stared at the patriarch curiously, and was held in his arms by Ma Shi and others. Before Huo Xi had time to say something naughty about his son, Shao Ji sent his grandson Shao Geng to salute her .
Huo Xi was in a hurry to avoid, Shao Ji and his wife held her down, "Are you going to accept our gift?"
"How dare you."
"Then let my grandson give you a gift. If it weren't for your help in planning, our old bones are still in the exile village. I'm afraid we will be buried there, and we will never have a chance to return to Beijing."
Supported by his granddaughter Dong Chuxue, Shao Ji and his old wife were excited, and they returned to the capital, as if they had passed away.
Huo Xi received a gift from Shao Geng, and had a few words with the cousin-in-law. Seeing that his grandfather didn't want to go to Beijing, he arranged for them to transfer to a smaller boat on the inland river and head for Liuhe Town.
The Zhuangzi in Liuhe Town has more than 200 mu, which is not a small place. In Zhuangzi, there are fields and mountains, slopes and forests, and a small lake full of lotus flowers. Pavilions and pavilions are built, and the scenery is excellent. There are also mulberry trees planted beside the field stalks, and there is a silkworm house to raise silkworms. Li Shimian and others were very happy to see it.
This will be their home from now on.
It takes only half an hour to go to Liuhe Town by boat on the small pier of Zhuangzi, and it takes only half a day to go to the capital.
Very convenient.
There are servants, farmers, courts, yards, and hot springs in Zhuangzi, which won the hearts of Li Shimian and Ma Shi. "Sister Ning put her heart into it, Zhuangzi's grandmother likes this place very much."
"Little Yuer likes it too!"
"Haha, okay, Xiao Yuer likes it too, so I will stay with my great-grandmother in Zhuangzi for a while."
"good!"
Without waiting for Huo Xi to speak, the kid answered by himself. Huo Xi couldn't help but laugh. But originally she planned to stay with her grandparents in Zhuangzi for a few more days.
The family is reunited, and there are endless things to say. Goodbye cousins, it seems that they have returned to the old days, making family chores affectionately.
Back when Shangyong met, his cousins were not yet married. Now the Li family has three grandchildren and one grandson. Xiao Yuer and Li Sheng, who is about his age, quickly got together.
"Sheng'er and the others seem to be getting used to this journey. Ever since I learned that you were leaving, I have been worried, worried that the children are too young and something will happen along the way."
Huo Xi was relieved to see that the children were doing well, lively and cute.
The two aunts smiled and replied: "We were also worried and walked slowly on the road. We never thought that they are better than us adults. They even cry less along the way, and they don't faint or vomit. I vomited several times on the boat, and couldn't recover from the dizziness for several days, but Sheng'er was running around the bow and stern happily."
Li Shimian was a little emotional, "Although they were born in exile villages, they have an innate closeness to Jiangnan in their bones, and they adapt better than us adults."
Seeing that his grandparents were in good health and looked stronger than what they saw a few years ago, Huo Xi was relieved.
"I didn't expect Ming Yue's husband-in-law to come back, I thought she would stay there."
The second aunt, Cui, sighed: "Our whole family has returned, leaving her alone there, when will we see you again? Your second uncle and I are very worried. I didn't expect the son-in-law's family to take it easy and let the son-in-law follow us back. Jiangnan."
The Miao family said: "Isn't Jiangnan better than Sichuan and Shu? In the future, when they have children, it's natural that Jiangnan will have a better future. It's better for the in-laws to think about it and let Mingyue and her husband-in-law come back with us."
Having said that, "just..."
Happy New Year everyone. Thank you for your support and blessings. thank you all. I saw everyone's comments, Mu Jing married Zhao Wang and became his second concubine. There was a typo, it has been changed.
Ming Dynasty Shi Mu married Zhu Di's third son Zhu Gaosui as his second concubine, Zhao Wangyuan concubine was deposed because of childlessness, Mu family was his second concubine, the eldest son died early, and the title finally fell into the hands of the concubine. Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu was killed by Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty along with his concubine and sons for treason. But Zhao Wang's lineage has always been a hereditary title, living the same life as the country.
