When Tu died of illness, Yuxi was in a low mood. The older you are, the more you can't afford to die.

Yunqing proposes to go outside. Go out for a walk, Yuxi's mood should be better.

"Jade Xi nods a way:" did not go out for a long time, it is time to go out to turn

After thinking about it, Yuxi said, "I've always heard that Xiangshan is beautiful. Let's go to Xiangshan for a walk." This Xiangshan Mountain is named Xiangshan because its peak stalactite looks like a censer. Yuxi has been to the capital for so many years, only once.

Yun Qing said with a smile, "Xiangshan will not look good until the end of autumn!" There are large maple trees in Xiangshan mountain. By the end of autumn, the maple leaves are all red. At this time, like a sea of fire, it is very beautiful.

"Now, it's beautiful." The end of spring has the beauty of the end of spring, and the end of summer has the beauty of the end of summer. And this time she mainly went to charity, not really to see any scenery.

The old couple will go to Xiangshan for a few days. Naturally, they will tell Qihao about it.

Xiangshan is only a few decades away from the capital, so Qihao will not oppose it. However, he offered to let the two princes go with them.

Yuxi said with a smile, "we can't delay the children's studies. We can just go."

After Qiyou knew it, he went to tell Qihao to take a leave, saying that he would accompany Yuxi and Yunqing to Xiangshan.

Qi Hao said with a smile, "as long as my parents agree, I have no problem." Want to be lazy, there is no door.

Sure enough, Yunqing and Yuxi didn't agree to let Qiyou follow. Yuxi said, "you are good to be an official. Don't spend three days in the sun and two days fishing." The child didn't know who he was. He was not active at all.

Qiyou felt wronged: "Niang, I am busy like a top every day. You still say that to me. Mother, you don't care for me at all. "

Yunqing can't look down: "such a big man can't speak well." People who are almost forty are still coquettish, which is really unbearable.

Yuxi chuckles.

Three people are saying words, Yu Sheng outside said: "the emperor, empress dowager, the ancient nine sent a letter."

Along with the letter, there is also a picture..

Yuxi first read the letter, and after reading it, he saw Qiyou looking at her, and then he laughed and said, "all is well with ah Xuan, you don't have to worry about him."

Qiyou stared at the letter and said, "Mom, please show me this letter..." Only by reading the letter can he really rest assured.

The third brother has been away from the capital for more than a year. He hasn't been able to contact for such a long time. Qiyou has been hanging on his heart.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I don't need to read the letter. But you can write to him, and I'll send someone to take it to him later. "

Qixuan was overjoyed and rushed to the study nearby to write a letter.

Yuxi asked Yu Sheng to spread out the painting, and what he saw was a fierce tiger.

The expert watches the doorway, the layman watches the bustle. When Yunqing saw the picture, he immediately exclaimed, "the tiger is well painted."

Yuxi looked at it and shook his head. "It's still lack of fire." Last year, Yuxi studied the paintings of many great painters for a year, and he thought there was something wrong with this painting. Specifically, I can't say.

When Qi you finished writing the letter, he saw the painting: "Mom, when are you interested in tigers? Like it, I'll send you a live one. " The tiger in the picture is dead. It's not fun. It's interesting to live.

"Labor costs money." With that, Yuxi pointed to the painting and said with a smile, "this tiger is painted by Qixuan. What do you think of it?"

Qi you was very surprised: "Mom, do you mean that the tiger was painted by the third brother?"

After saying that, he looked at the signing, and he was really a monk of seven joss sticks. Qiyou is surprised and happy: "how high is the painting skill of the third brother?" Before, he had seen Qixuan draw cats and butterflies, but he didn't see that they were so good!

"When he comes back, ask him yourself."

When Qiyou heard this, he immediately asked: "Niang, are you going to let the third brother come back? When can I get to Beijing? "

"Not this year. Let's wait for next year! Brother Zhuo's wedding, he is coming back to attend. "

When Qiyou heard this, he asked, "Niang, do you lock up the third brother and let him draw with all his heart?"

Yuxi didn't answer this, but said, "it's time for you to go on duty."

Qi you took the painting and ran into the palace, reporting to Qi Hao.

In the middle of April, Nitti asked Qixuan for one thing: "next month, the sixth day of the first month is the day of my marriage. I hope you can come to attend at that time, sir."

"You're getting married?" I haven't heard anything about it from nego.

During this period, he devoted himself to the art of painting, that is, he practiced in his own yard. Nico hasn't seen him for half a month. How could he have a chance to talk to him about it.

"Ai Hua is seven years old. I'm still empty under my knee!" He is so old that he may not be able to marry if he doesn't marry again.

"Whose girl?"

"Nika's sister, she's ten years younger than me," said Nitti, embarrassed It was Ardo who said he would marry Nitti, and his family did not object. Nitti didn't like it at first. He thought Ardo was too small. Later, however, he agreed to the marriage.

When Qixuan saw him like this, he couldn't help laughing: "what's the matter? Qiaoniang is 19 years younger than me!" It's not a problem to be ten years apart.

When Nitti heard this, he asked, "how old is Sir?"

"Thirty nine?"

"Sir, thirty-nine? Are you not kidding me, sir Nitti is 27 years old, and he always thought Qixuan was about the same age as him. Now I can imagine how shocked he was to hear that.

Qixuan said with a smile, "what are you cheating on. My eldest sons are all engaged and will be married next year. "

When Nitti heard this, he thought it was wrong: "you and your eldest son are getting married soon, that Qiao Niang..." Qiaoniang is only in her early twenties. How could she have such a big son.

AGA village is all monogamous, men do not have three wives and four concubines. So Qixuan said vaguely, "I have three years old with qiaoniang's child."

Nitty said, "that's what it is!" He thought that Qixuan was married like him. He didn't think aunt Dou was just a concubine at all.

Qixuan immediately changed the topic: "when you get married, I will definitely participate."

When he sent the man away, Qixuan told aunt Dou about it: "you go to ask the daughter-in-law of Nico and see what gift you want to give when you see her?" These are the Royal concubines who socialize at home. He doesn't care about them at all.

Aunt Dou was very surprised. She put down the matter in her hand and went to the nicotine's house to ask about it.

When gujiu saw Qixuan, he said with a smile, "do you know why Nitti came here to tell you about his marriage?"

Qixuan is a little strange: "is there any other way to say it?"

Gujiu said jokingly, "you shouldn't forget the appointment of one year?" In mid April last year, the two decided to fight in a year's time. Now, it's exactly a year.

Qi Xuan is full of paintings in his mind now. He forgot about it long ago.

"The agreement before marriage will be automatically invalidated, or where will the bride be?"

Gujiu glanced at him and said, "otherwise, why do you think he came to tell you this? I will never covet your gift. " Unless Nitti didn't want to die, when he saw that he killed people like a chicken, how dare he beat aunt Dou again. What do you think we should send to you? "

"I don't know," she said He is not the steward of xuanwang mansion.

It was not until the time of cooking that Aunt Dou came back. When she came back, aunt Dou's face was full of smiles.

Qixuan asked, "what did you say? Don't come back for most of the day? " He wondered why the woman had so much to say together!

Aunt Dou said with a smile, "the head of the family, Yi Jia said NiTi didn't want to marry Ardo at first. And Nitti said that he had too many great idols and had wives, and was not worthy of idols. Do you know why Nitti agreed to marry Ardo later? "

Men chase women, across the mountain. Women chasing men, separation yarn. So Qixuan thought it was no surprise,

Auntie Dou said with a smile, "ah duo holds NiTi and says if he doesn't marry, she will marry to the town."

This is not right: "it's not good to marry in town?" The traffic in AGA village is inconvenient, the materials are too scarce, and the rich can't buy things. Although the town is relatively backward, it is much stronger than AGA village.

"Aunt Dou said:" women in AGA village always say the same thing at home. Do you think it would be a good time to marry such a man to the town

Nico's mother was frugal and eccentric, but she never rubbed her little son. But the people in the town were influenced by the Confucian culture. Some men also took concubines. Like Nico's cousin's brother-in-law, he took a concubine.

Qixuan heard this and said with a smile, "Nitti also likes her, or she will be married to the town or the county." Only care, will be afraid of her bad.

"That's right." With that said, aunt Dou said, "according to the custom of AGA village, except for close relatives and friends, there is no requirement for gifts in general."

Qixuan was a little confused and asked, "what should I send?"

Aunt Dou chuckled: "you bought four pieces of cloth last time, one of which is still red. Otherwise, we will send them the red cloth. " All these are fine cloth, two liang silver for one piece. It's a great gift to give this cloth as a gift.

Qixuan hurriedly said: "good things in pairs, plus that piece of autumn color cloth to send together!"

Aunt Dou didn't like it. She also liked the cloth and wanted to make two clothes after finishing the work in the field.

Qixuan said with a smile, "when I go to the county next time, I will buy you better materials."

"Good."

Shortly after Nitti's wedding, Qixuan received a reply from Yuxi and Qiyou.

After reading the letter, Qixuan was very happy and said to Aunt Dou, "Qiao Niang, my Niang asked us to stay here until the end of autumn and go to the county town for winter this winter." Now it's May. You can move to the county town in another five or six months.

Aunt Dou asked, "when did the queen mother say we should go back?"

Qixuan shook his head and said, "No. But I think I can go back next year! " As long as his painting is successful, his mother will definitely let him go back. So, we still have to do a good job of painting.

Aunt Dou was disappointed.
