Blissful Days After Widowhood

    Gu Ye was at a loss.

    Gu Yin quickly explained: "Don't worry, Xiaoye, Your Highness is not swearing."

    Then she repeated what she just said to Gu Ye.

    Gu Ye glanced at Lu Xu incredulously, but finally did not quarrel with him.

    Afterwards, Gu Yin asked someone to pack the tamales and bacon, and asked Lu Xu to bring it back to the palace.

    Lu Xu really likes eating this vegetable rice, and finally reminded: "And that white one, you forgot to put it on me!"

    Gu Yin pointed to the jar on the stove and asked, "Are you talking about lard?"

    Lu Xu nodded again.

    How could there be a shortage of lard in the palace? Gu Yin was funny, but she still filled him a small jar as he said.

    Lu Xu didn't let anyone touch the jar and held it in his hand.

    Feng Yu asked Gu Ye not to send him off, he was responsible for sending Lu Xu back to the palace, and then back to the Duke of Lu himself.

    Lu Xu got into the carriage with the can in his arms, the carriage was about to move, he thought of something, and quickly stuck his head out of the car window, "Silver, I haven't given it yet!"

    Gu Yin naturally refused to accept it, and said, "It's just a little food, nothing worth mentioning. Your Highness doesn't need to be so polite."

    The carriage was still stuffed with the things he bought at the nearby stall in the morning, Lu Xu was really embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Then I will give my brother the silver next time and let him bring it with him. Give you."

    Gu Yin couldn't help but raised the corner of her mouth again, nodded and said yes.

    Gu Ye was impatient to bring this Lu Xu in front of him, but after one afternoon, this little crying bag didn't cry, and he said "my brother" every time, he involuntarily gave birth to a kind of The feeling of my brother became more and more tolerant towards him.

    "When you go back, remember to reply to the father, and bring some of these things, you can also give him some."

    After telling him, Gu Ye said goodbye to Feng Yu again, and watched the carriage go away.

    When Lu Xu returned to the palace, his nanny and palace maids were all guarding the palace gate.

    At noon, Emperor Zhengyuan let a few children out of the palace without discussing it with Concubine Feng.

    Feng Guifei used to be quite a face in the palace, and she was well-informed.

    But after the ceremony of Gu Ye's restoration of identity, the palace servants headed by Qian Sansi consciously stood aside—even the palace servants who did not stand by the side would not mix in the muddy water, Take the initiative to go to Yonghe Palace to sell it.

    Therefore, Concubine Feng did not wait until Lu Xu returned until dinner time, so someone came to ask, and only then did she know that Lu Xu followed Gu Ye out of the palace.

    This made Concubine Feng worry bad—although she was accompanied by her nephew Feng Yu, Feng Yu was obviously Gu Ye's person right now.

    The former concubine Feng Guifei also laughed at Queen Zhou's age in private.

    In fact, she is not too young. If Lu Xu makes a mistake, the consequences are unimaginable.

    However, no matter how worried she is, it is useless, at most, she can only let the nurse and the palace servants wait in the palace gate.

    Seeing that Lu Xuquan had to come back with all his tail, the nanny and the palace maid immediately surrounded him.

    They are going to crowd Lu Xu back to Yonghe Palace.

    Lu Xu thought of Gu Ye's words, he took out the sugar man from the things he brought back, and then asked the guard to pass the rest of the things to the nanny and the others, saying, "You guys help me get the things first. Take it back, and I have to go and talk to the royal father."

    Emperor Zhengyuan was still handling official business. He heard that he was back and knew what to say. Emperor Zhengyuan asked Qian Sansi to put him in, and smiled kindly: "Our little Axu really grew up. Now, the rules and etiquette are more complete."

    After being praised, Lu Xu stood up proudly.

    But he didn't take credit and said honestly: "Actually, my brother taught me to do this!"

    Hearing what he said, the smile on Zheng Yuan's face grew thicker and he beckoned him to step forward, "Tell me, how are you getting along with your elder brother this afternoon?"

    Lu Xu sat beside him obediently, starting from the man who went to eat and buy candy for the sky, until he followed him to the village on the outskirts of the city to put paper kites and dig loach.

    "Big brother's adoptive mother cooks really delicious." Lu Xu licked the candy man in his hand and said, "I ate a big bowl and saw that big brother and cousin are going to add the first Two bowls, I still want to eat, she touched my belly and said that I was full, and I will have a stomachache if I eat it again...I brought back all the food from the vegetable rice! Then the father and the emperor will eat together! "

    Emperor Zheng Yuan smiled and nodded straight, Lu Xu was encouraged by him, the chat box was opened, and he continued to say a lot.

    When he and the guards went to put the paper kite next to him today, he also saw a pair of brothers helping the house.

    The brothers were not much older than Gu Ye and him, but they were very skilled at work.

    The younger brother at the back saw him put the paper kite, so he wanted to put the work in his hand and come to play with him.

    His brother saw it and came to spank him.

    The child who was about the same age as Lu Xu was wearing open-crotch pants because the family didn't have time to take care of him.

    His brother slapped down and made a crisp "pop".

    Lu Xu felt panic for him.

    However, the younger brother was still smiling, and after arguing with his elder brother for a while, he really came to play with Lu Xu for a while.

    Lu Xu asked him, "Why does your brother beat you like this, don't your parents care?"

    The child was not as smart as Lu Xu. After hearing this, he reacted for a while before saying, "What's the point of the elder brother beating the younger brother? I told my parents that they were even more powerful."

    Lu Xu was stunned.

    "It turns out that it's normal for my elder brother to beat my younger brother. I was crying in front of me. I felt that my father didn't take care of me because he didn't take care of me." Lu Xu apologized with a blushing face, "Compared to that elder brother, Big brother didn't make any effort to hit me that day."

    Although Lu Xu is arrogant, his nature is not bad, at least for now. Otherwise, before Emperor Zheng Yuan found his eldest son, he would not have been the one he loved the most.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan patiently explained to him, saying that the eldest brother is like a father, and it is normal for the elder brother to teach the younger brother. Of course, there must be something wrong with the younger brother, and the older brother will do that.

    The father and son chatted for a long time, Lu Xu was sleepy, and it was time to go back to rest.

    When he left, Lu Xu rubbed his eyes and said, "By the way, eldest brother asked me to share gifts for the father! I brought this for the father!"

      !

    Lu Xu's face blushed, and Emperor Zhengyuan laughed, saying that he had received his favor, go back to sleep, and go to Wenhua Hall to study the next day!

    Lu Xu retired.

      But today he listened to the elder brother's words, and the father has always been very happy. Is what the mother-in-law said is not as correct as what the elder brother said?

    Incredulous, Lu Xu returned to the Yonghe Palace.

    He was about to chat with Concubine Feng about what happened during the day, but he saw Concubine Feng asked the maid with a calm expression, "Have all those nasty things been dealt with?"

    The big palace maid replied: "It's all according to what the mother said, and it was thrown into the fire. It's just that the jar of lard is not easy to burn, so the slaves just threw it away."

    Feng Guifei's face softened a little.

    What she asked to deal with was naturally what Lu Xu brought back from outside the palace.

    To put it aside, Lu Xute brought it back, and Concubine Feng will not be angry about something outside the palace.

    Feng Guifei, of course, looked at the things sent by the other family, so she directly let people deal with them.

    Lu Xu heard their conversation in his ears, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he struggled from the nurse's arms to the ground.

    "Where is my dish? Where is my lard?" Lu Xu ran to Feng Guifei and asked aggressively.

    Feng Guifei worried about him all day, and she was sulking because of the food that was the sky. It was when her anger was not good, and she didn't have a good face towards her own son. Said: "Mother and concubine have been thrown away. They are all cheap things. You are precious and precious, where can you touch those?"

    Lu Xu looked at her in disbelief, and retorted loudly: "The concubine asked me to listen to the teacher, and the gentleman taught me, 'Who knows that the Chinese meal is hard to eat'! It's different from what you said!"

    In front of all the palace servants, being so contradicted by her own son, Feng Guifei was very unable to hang on her face, slapped the table and scolded: "You don't understand the affairs of your lord!"

    Lu Xu was wronged, and now he finally knows why he should cherish food, like today's tacai, he also contributed, and now he knows it's gone, but it's really uncomfortable!

    He sat on the ground with his buttocks on the ground, kicking his two calves and crying loudly, while crying and scolding her: "You are a liar... woo woo woo... Roujiamo is good, sesame cakes it is bad!"

    Feng Guifei couldn't understand what he was saying, and became more and more annoyed, "When you go out for half a day, you are full of nonsense, where did you learn it?"

    Lu Xu was so out of breath that she didn't have time to answer her words.

    The mother and son were arguing, and Qian Sansi came over.

    He came to preach on behalf of Emperor Zheng Yuan.

    Although the former Emperor Zhengyuan annoyed Feng Guifei and left her in the cold, but because Lu Xu performed well today, Emperor Zhengyuan, looking at the face of his younger son, is still going to give her some face and ask Qian Sansi to send her Come here with some gadgets.

    "Poor, how come your little highness is sitting on the ground?" Qian Sansi hurried to help.

    A few days ago, Lu Xu listened to what Feng Guifei said.

    But tonight he had a candid conversation with Emperor Zhengyuan about this matter. Emperor Zhengyuan explained to him that Qian Sansi was a hero and a good person. He couldn’t say that about him, that’s why Gu Ye patted him on the mouth , and Emperor Zhengyuan would not help him get ahead.

    So now Lu Xu grabbed Qian Sansi's hand and got up, and slapped the grievance: "Mother concubine threw my things, bullied people, and scolded me..."

    Although this is what Qian Sansi said, but Qian Sansi came here on behalf of Emperor Zhengyuan, which is equivalent to complaining to Emperor Zhengyuan.

    In front of Qian Sansi, Concubine Feng is not good at coaxing people, so she can only say embarrassingly: "The origin of those things is unknown, this palace is just doing things according to the rules."

      It is not a problem for His Highness to cry like this, it is better for the servant to bring His Highness back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then pass it on to the imperial doctor to show him."

    Although Feng Guifei is reluctant, she has already let Qian Sansi know that this matter cannot be concealed from Emperor Zhengyuan, and she can't say that her son is not allowed to stay with his father, Emperor Zhengyuan, so You can only pinch your nose.

    Turn his head back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lu Xu tossed for an afternoon and a night, and fell asleep without talking much.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan coaxed him to sleep in a pleasant manner, then turned his head and his face sank again.

    In the past, he was busy conquering the world, and after he ascended the throne, he was busy dealing with complicated affairs, and he had little intervention in the affairs of the harem.

    I didn't think about letting go, and a good child was about to be supported by Feng Guifei.

    He originally chose Feng Guifei, of course, because of Feng Guifei's beautiful appearance, but the most important thing is that Feng Guifei has a brother who has great military achievements and is not very smart.

    He can tolerate a stupid concubine in the harem, but he will never allow himself to have such a stupid son.

    Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Lu Xu was only three years old, and now he is still an innocent and innocent child. It is not too late to break it up.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan asked Qian Sansi to find a drawing that had been prepared before.

    That is the northeast area of ​​Huadian, near Xiefang Hall. The place where the prince lived in the previous dynasty.

    Qian Sansi immediately understood that Emperor Zhengyuan was going to move Lu Xu out of the Yonghe Palace!

    He mentioned just right: "Although His Royal Highness King Lie has a palace outside, there must be a place to stay in the palace."

    Emperor Zheng Yuan thought it was true, so he waved his brush and wrote a new comment.

    …

    In early February, the fourth and fifth floors of Shiweitian are open together.

    There were dozens of tickets in total for the first show of the play. Gu Yin did not sell them, but they were all delivered to the female guest on the third floor with the post.

      Second, in fact, Gu Yin was also selfish and wanted to have some fun for herself. After all, she still can't appreciate traditional opera.

    The female guests of Yashe had long heard that she was going to play a new kind of show, and they got up in private early, thinking of supporting her.

    Gu Yin reserved the two best tickets for herself and Wang.

    Of course, Mrs Wang liked this kind of liveliness very much. She took the ticket with a smile, turned her head and called Wu Qingyi aside, handed the ticket to him, and said: "These few days are During the exam time, your Aunt Xu doesn’t have the heart to come out and have fun. I just wanted to wait for Qingchuan to finish the exam, and then watch it with your Aunt Xu.”

    Wu Qingyi took it over immediately, "Thank you, mother."

    Wang squinted at him again, his eyes full of threats.

    If this is not possible, she will not recognize this son!

    Wu Qingyi felt guilty by her, and when she went back, a servant came and asked him to go to the street and collect some words.

    Wu Qingyi looked at the books he bought back, such as "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness" and "Cui Ning by Mistake", and was speechless for a long time.

      The book of love words. The little one ran a lot of places, and then I collected so much."

    Wu Qingyi told Gu Yin beforehand that she wanted to release power, and that was true. The commander of the Imperial Army and the guards of the capital, both of which are delicious, and both were handed over to him by Emperor Zhengyuan himself.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan likes pure and straight people, then he is pure to the end. Therefore, Wu Qingyi did not make up his own mind, but directly reported his own ideas to Emperor Zheng Yuan.

    Sure enough, although Emperor Zhengyuan said that he thought too much and did a good job, why should he give it to others, but he still agreed to his request, took back the management of the Imperial Army, and took it in his own hands .

    Nowadays, Wu Qingyi only needs to go to the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing from time to time to answer a 卯, order soldiers, and practice. The rest of the time can be freely used.

    In the end, Wu Qingyi didn't say anything to him, just waved him down.

    Afterwards, he left the house alone, like a thief, he found a bookstore far away from home and bought it again.

    …

    On the day the drama premiered, Gu Yin went to eat for the sky early in the morning.

    Not long after she left, Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Wen Er and Mrs. Lu all arrived one after another.

    Because Gu Yin told them that watching a drama is the same entertainment as watching a play, the female guests not only came by themselves, but also brought their family with them.

    So naturally these tickets are not enough, but fortunately there is a game in the afternoon, and other people can also get tickets.

    A group of female guests now come to eat as if they are going home.

    They arrived half an hour earlier than the opening time, and came here to eat the morning meal. They entered the restaurant, met acquaintances, greeted each other, and went to the massage department in the elegant house or the backyard.

    Master Wen and others who were left behind were invited by Gu Yin to the waiting area on the fourth floor.

    A group of male guests were led upstairs by the shopkeeper Zhou. When they passed the third floor, they would deliberately slow down. If you don't come home, you will be left in awe if you don't come for a few days!

    Unfortunately, there is a huge screen on the third floor, which is about the size of a screen wall in a normal house, and only places for people to enter at the two ends.

    And there was a beaded curtain on the place where only one person could pass, and there was a maid who blocked it. They couldn't see it at all, they could only hear the sound of the piano and chatting and laughing. Voice!

    Up to the fourth floor, next to the stairs is the large bar for ticket sales and ticket checking.

    Going further inside, it is a place with a window style, selling a variety of completely different food.

    Of course, the most empty space is the wooden tables and chairs for guests to rest.

    Master Wen and others were attracted by the food sold at the window, and they went over to see it.

    Some windows sell all kinds of dessert drinks, others sell grilled gluten, grilled corn and other grilled items, and some windows sell fried foods, fried chicken nuggets and various fried skewers… All kinds of snacks are available.

     Shopkeeper Zhou also explained: "Don't worry, gentlemen, we also have a compartment and a flue in this small window, and the smoke and dust are exhausted outside, and it will definitely not bother you."

    As for a few vacant windows, the shopkeeper Zhou said that they were the special windows prepared by Gu Yin, and then they would invite cooks from other places to come over and make local specialties here.

    These snacks don't take much of your belly, but they're best to eat when you're killing time.

      There is no need to wait for ordering like on the first and second floors.

    Mr. Wen and others came to join in with their wife, so naturally they gave generously and bought a lot of snacks according to their own tastes.

    Master Wen Er, the iron rooster, followed him around for a while, without even opening the purse.

    Just kidding, his wife comes to Yashe every three or five times, and spends a dozen taels for one trip. If he wants to, he doesn't know how to be frugal, and the gold and silver mountains are not enough to spend!

    He sat down beside Mr. Wen with empty hands, smelling the fragrance of the fried chicken, he swallowed.

    Master Wen was embarrassed to be seen by him, especially there were many outsiders on the spot, and those who didn’t know would treat Master Wen’s second master as harshly as their Wen family!

    Speaking of conscience, Mr. Wen Er is really not like this. Now he is working in the Ministry of Households. Although his grade is not high, it is really a big fat shortage. He could take several hundred taels, not to mention his original salary, and the thousands of taels of silver that Emperor Zhengyuan gave him after he ordered to collect debts.

    It can be said that Mr. Wen Er is now much richer than Mr. Wen's elder brother.

    In front of outsiders, Mr. Wen is not good at persuading him, and in terms of money, even if he persuades, Mr. Wen will not listen, so Mr. Wen can only put the plate with snacks to him Pushed in front.

    "Brother is so polite." Mr. Wen Er happily rubbed his hands, took a bunch of fried chicken and ate it.

    This chicken nugget is made by Gu Yin according to the appearance of later generations of chicken popcorn. The skin is golden and crispy, but the inside is tender and juicy. You can also mix it with tomato sauce or sweet and spicy sauce according to your own taste.

    Master Wen Er sighed while eating: "Gu Niangzi's craftsmanship is really worthless!"

    Three times five and two, Master Wen Er swept away the snacks that Master Wen Da bought.

    Master Wen is too lazy to say anything about him.

    Then it was time for the drama to start, all the female guests came up, and everyone went to the fifth floor together.

    In the middle of the fifth floor is a semi-circular stage several feet higher than the rest, with a thick curtain drawn.

    The bottom of the stage is naturally the seat of the crowd.

    The seats are the same sofa chairs as on the third floor, but instead of the light color, they replaced it with a more stain-resistant brown. Each chair is loosely arranged, and next to each sofa is a small table, just big enough for some tea and fruit bowls.

    Numbers are written on the sofa chairs, which correspond to the tickets in the hands of everyone.

    After everyone sat down, a field worker came over with a screen.

    The screen is smaller than normal, and the bottom is equipped with wooden rollers, which is very convenient to move.

    According to the relationship of everyone, the field workers took down a few small tables and inserted them into the screen.

    This also gives a small private space, so you don't have to worry about being spied on.

    Gu Yin also came over on her back feet. She found her seat and sat down, patted her hands twice, and the field worker lowered the double curtains. Immediately, the room was several times darker than the outside.

    The curtain slowly opened, and the first unprecedented drama of the Daxi Dynasty officially started.

    At this moment, a tall figure sat beside Gu Yin.

    "Sorry, I'm late." Wu Qingyi's deep and rich voice sounded in Gu Yin's ear.
