Chapter 240 Preparing gifts

Capital City, Mixiang, Chunjun Prince's Mansion.

Prince Chun and Prince Chun were preparing a gift list. Because they received the good news that Cao's family came back from fighting Yizhou, they knew that Chu Yu had added a male student on September 11, and Prince Chun's mansion was really happy.

Prince Chun specially told him to prepare a generous full moon gift and a hundred-day gift for his grandson. This hundred-day gift is easy to say, but it is still time to prepare it slowly during the twelfth lunar month, but the full moon gift must be seized. Even if the capital is coming to Yizhou, it will take half a month to go.

After many years of opening the palace, the princes and princes in the capital had a certain rule. Just like the fourth prince of Prince Yong's mansion was one year old in August, all kinds of objects and utensils were purchased based on the grade of Prince Yong's mansion and the grade of the fourth prince's biological mother. A few days ago, the sixth prince from Tang Jia, the concubine of Yuqing Palace, was given a hundred days, and the gift was a little more than the prince's mansion.

Chu Yu’s side is different. He is the princess of his own family. The gifts should be heavy and practical.

As the second princess and the fifth princess came together, one was fourteen and the other was twelve. Although they were not tall enough, they also looked like a little big girl. Especially the second princess, although they looked a little similar to their sister and looked gentle, their conversation was very refreshing.

After asking for the concubine and the concubine, the second princess smiled and said, "I heard that my mother has prepared gift list for the eldest sister, but my daughter and sister can't sit still. They have prepared objects for the younger nephew!"

Although the second princess and the big princess were the same mother, and they were born by the Nala clan of the side of the concubine, when the Prince Chun and the Nala clan were both present, the word "口" was called the legitimate mother.

Prince Chun put down the order in his hand and smiled and said, "Look, Xiao Tianyou is so lucky. The gifts given by the two aunts here are naturally not ordinary things. Tell me, what did you sisters buy? Is this awesome to offer treasures?"

The second and fifth princess were both embarrassed. Look at me, let me see you. In the end, the second princess took a foot-length pear wooden box from his hand and held it on the kang table.

King Chun Fujin opened the box and saw the objects inside. He couldn't help but smile and said to Nala, "Come and take a look, these little sisters have made a lot of preparations!"

Nala leaned over and looked at it. There were several colors inside. A tiger with a pair of cloth the size of a palm was made of black and green fine cloth, with patterns embroidered with crimson purple, pomegranate red, autumn fragrance, green onion, pine flower, crab shell green, and ivory white seven-color silk threads.

A pair of hydrangeas with a fist are red, and various broken silk cloths cut into triangles are sewn together according to the depth of the color, pink, peach red, crabapple red, silver red, big red, jujube red, rouge color, etc. Then at the joint of the three cloths, there are rosys of willow yellow, tender green, bamboo green, green onion and other colors. There are also silver bells of thumb cover size in the middle, which are gently moved and crisply sounded; the other hydrangeas are green and have the same style as red, but the rosys on it are matched with red.

There is also a pair of auspicious knots made of crimson velvet thread, with inch-long silver long life locks falling from the bottom, which looks exquisite and cute.

The things are good things, and it also makes them give the children these things. Just looking at the fabric and the embroidery thread on it, they all look familiar. Wang Fujin thought he noticed it, and covered his mouth with a veil and chuckled at the two little princes.

The two princesses were so embarrassed that they stood up and whispered goodbye to the two concubines, and then flew down like they were on the ground.

Prince Chun Fujin and Nala laughed out loud. Nala was fine. While chuckling, he picked up the small items and looked at the girl's embroidery art carefully.

Prince Chun was so happy that tears came out. He gently wiped the corners of his eyes with a veil and said to Nala: "It turns out that they have become big girls, and they have learned some needlework and thread for the girl Hong in the past few months. Now it seems that it is just a child! I can't blame the two sisters who are most impatient with girl Hong. They can still study honestly for these days, and they are preparing these gadgets for my nephew!" At this point, he paused and smiled bitterly: "That year I wanted to marry into the Cao family. I was originally aggrieved for the eldest princess, thinking that the eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the master after all. Although the prince is good in character and the Cao family is rich, the family is still too low. Now it seems that he is still very knowledgeable, and I want to envy you for your good fortune!"

Nala knew that Prince Chun was worried that the fifth princess she had produced would be the fate of marrying Mongolia, and comforted him: "Fao Jin, don't worry too much. After all, he is the emperor's granddaughter, and not everyone is going to send it to Mongolia. The second princess of Prince Yong's mansion will be pointed out to Beijing!"

Prince Chun smiled softly and said, "No? Besides, she is still young. Although the wives of the princes come in early, not many princes go out early. Like our big princes, it is still too early to marry at fifteen! Amitabha, originally worried that it would be unfavorable to have children, but now it is a blessing to be so smooth!"

Nala smiled, but his mind ran thousands of miles away, not knowing how his daughter and grandson were.

Speaking of the marriage of the royal palaces, Prince Chun said, "The draft has been held in just two months. The eldest prince is sixteen years old. I wonder if he will point one here this time? Should we also pay attention to it first. If it is a side room, there is nothing to choose from; if it is a main room, it is always better to be of the same class as the family! I asked inconveniently, after all, you are the eldest prince's biological mother. Let's talk to him carefully to see if there are any girls you like. Those who know the roots are better than those you have never seen before."

At first, these words sounded nothing, but they couldn't help but think about it. It seemed that Hongshu was unpredictable and suspected of having a secret relationship. Nala was unhappy, but he still smiled and said, "The concubine is really joking. He likes to dance with swords and guns all day long. How could he have such thoughts? As the eldest son and brother, if Hongshu did anything that was incompatible with his identity, let alone what the palace is like, even our master will not spare him. There is a master in this mansion, and these young people can't learn to be a playboy!"

When Wang Chun Fujin heard the words "Early Brother, Older Brother", his expression was a little stiff. In July, the fourth prince Hongxin "caused acne", which was very dangerous. In addition to Prince Chun and Nala, even Hongshu also looked like an eldest son and elder brother. Not only did he take care of his younger brother in shifts with his parents, he also helped his father with some foreign affairs, and received praise from Prince Chun. Hongshu didn't care, and still told him stories of "general" and "knight" by his younger brother's bed every day, encouraging him to get better soon.

Originally, they were all the fourth princess, but after taking care of the whole family, they gradually got better. The brothers and sisters became more and more sincere, and Prince Chun also valued Hongshu more and more. Prince Chun felt a little uncomfortable, and the year-end talent show was also the case, because he was afraid that the wife who was the tallest in the palace would come in, so the sixth prince would not have the chance to compete with his elder brother for the position of prince.

Full Moon Gifts are usually given silver or jade long-lived locks. Although I thought that other mansions were full of these things, Cao Yi still prepared them carefully.

The silver piece sent the manager to the Yinlou to play two pairs according to the most fashionable and exquisite style in the capital. The jade piece picked a piece of good seed material from the dowry and made a pair. The Xitara family added another pair.

With these four pairs of long-lived locks, plus the two-piece clamped jackets sewn by Cao Yi and two-piece cotton jackets, the full moon gift is complete. In addition, some supplements and medicinal materials were prepared for my brother and sister-in-law and brought with medicinal food.

Although their courtesy must be thinner than the Chunping Palace, Cao Yi knew that his brother and sister-in-law would not care about these. She was just acting on her own heart, and the affection in her was not less than others.

Because Yizhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, it is inconvenient to travel back and forth, most of the conspiracy gifts given to the people there were sent to the Prince of Pingjun Mansion, and then the manager there made a special trip to Shandong.

Although he hadn't seen Wang Fujin for more than half a year and missed him very much, because he was not able to go out casually during the mourning period, Cao Yi wrote a greeting letter to his sister and sent the manager to the company with these gifts. He also remembered that his sister Cao Ying, who married into the Sun family, had been together for many years, but perhaps because he was seven years apart, they were very rude and polite.

After Cao Ying entered Beijing, when he was with his husband to visit the Prince's Mansion, he beat the concubine Cao Jia, who knew that Cao Yi was his half-sister. She wanted to say that with her husband Sun Jue, but she knew that he was the most rigid and had always complained about her father-in-law's "husband's leadership". If she knew about Cao Yi, she would look down on her parents' home. Therefore, she did not talk much and wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell him.

The next day after attending a banquet at Cao's mansion, Sun Jue returned to his home and asked him to make trouble. The eldest cousin Cao Yinquan was so envious that the eldest daughter of the house entered the princess. The eldest son married the princess. He was even a wild girl he picked up and sent to the capital to curry favor with the powerful. He was really too literati. Later, the eldest cousin was in poor health and gradually lost his holy heart, but he was still reluctant to let go of his power. The Li family was originally working hard to help him, but he was a cousin who "judged the gentleman with the heart of a villain." He didn't know what methods he used, but the Li family was scolded by the Emperor Long Live, and ended up being a little unfamiliar.

Although people who didn't know the inside story in the Cao Mansion in Jiangning regarded Cao Yi as Li's cousin; the Sun family had known that Cao Yi was the orphan who saved Cao Yong back then. Sun Jue's eldest sister was the main wife of Li Xu's eldest son Li Nai. As early as the 40th year of Kangxi, Li saw Cao Yong and Cao Yi, who was still "Pinger", passed by Suzhou, so they knew the inside story.

Perhaps it was because of Sun and Li families that both thought they "know" Cao Yi's "original origin" and knew that they were not the blood of the Cao family. Therefore, although both families have sons of appropriate age, they did not marry the Cao family and wanted to match this "third lady".

After Sun Jue arranged Cao Yinquan's desire to be so envious, he also said that although his cousin was the head of a family, his behavior was too unfair and he was neglected to his second wife's nephew. Cao Song was seventeen or eighteen, and he had no serious fame and marriage. The eldest wife's son was sent to the capital at the fifteen or sixteenth, and he started as a fifth-rank third-class guard. Compared with the two, it was really hard to see.

Although Cao Ying was a little cowardly, he was influenced by his father since childhood and respected his uncle and aunt the most, and was a little unhelpful to his husband's derogatory rebukes. Not only did he say a lot of good things for his uncle and aunt, but he also said Cao Yi's life experience, and even thanked the two elders for taking care of his concubine's sister.

These "good words" were heard, and Sun Jue couldn't help but snorted coldly, saying, "Hair is long and short. What do you know, a woman? You are so sad that your cousin hides the life experience of the third sister so tightly, and even if we are close relatives like us, I think I have the idea of ​​clinging to the powerful and powerful! Although the Pingwang Mansion is prominent, it is just a royal mansion. What can you do? There is Concubine Chen in our palace, and the Li family has Concubine Wang in the palace, and only Cao

The family depends on the love of my grandmother taking care of the Long Live Emperor. Now that my grandmother has lost all these years, what else can the Cao family rely on? I can't guarantee that my cousin has this idea and wants to use my third sister to exchange for the powerful! The third sister's appearance... is reasonable! Even if I can't enter the harem, I will give it to the prince as a concubine! Haha, it's just a 'bamboo basket to be a waste'. In the end, I only took a red belt, and the grade is not high!" In the end, it was full of ridicule.

Cao Ying was dumbfounded when he heard this. Although he felt something was wrong, his husband's words were so convincing that it was impossible to refute.

Yizhou, Taotai Yamen, inner house, main courtyard.

When Cao Yong returned to the room, Chu Yu was sitting on the kang, holding Tianyou for breastfeeding. Seeing her husband come back, she was very embarrassed and turned around gently, trying to tie the front of her. Tianyou ate it so delicious that it made people unable to stop breastfeeding. She hesitated, looked at her husband, and then looked at her son, and couldn't make up for her idea.

Cao Yongyuan didn't care. When he saw Chu Yu avoiding dodging, he realized that his son was breastfeeding and sitting by the kang. He couldn't help but take a look. He felt a little hot. This was the day, but the couple hadn't been intimate for a long time. Looking at Chu Yu's body, after all, it was because of childbirth, and it felt even more round and smooth. Seeing it really made people want to hold it in their arms and kiss them.

"Mr.!" Chu Yu couldn't help but blush and blame him with anger when he saw him looking at him so hard.

Cao Yong stretched out his hand, pinched his son's face for a moment, and couldn't help but pull Chu Yu, kissed him twice, then sighed and said, "When you are out of confinement, I will go to Mengyin for official duties. Then the mansion will take care of you!"

Chu Yu thought to himself that his son had a full month on the ninth day of the 10th month, and it was still half a month before the day would be cold, so he advised: "Your son-in-law don't have to worry about Chu Yu. If you need to go there, it would be better to go there before winter!"

Cao Yong shook his head: "You can't wait for this half month to be busy. You have suffered a serious crime for Tianyou. If I can't even accompany you during the confinement period, then what kind of husband is that?"
