Chapter 339
339. The mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law
After dismissing the secret concubine to leave, Wen Xi looked a little tired, and was about to go back to the inner hall to lie down for a while, but heard the report from outside that Kangxi Yujia was coming this way, so Wen Xi had to straighten her makeup and come out of the hall to greet her.It's been three or nine days now, even though it's almost noon, Wen Xi can't help shrinking her neck when the wind is blowing against her face.It was warm inside the hall, but it was extremely cold when I came out.
Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood, he came up to help Wen Xi who was about to meet him, holding Wen Xi's somewhat cold catkin with his big warm hand, carefully measuring Wen Xi's gorgeous and delicate clothes and makeup, he was quite happy The color, praised: "This dress is well cut, it suits you very well!"
Wen Xi smiled slightly, and said casually: "My concubine thinks that although the gold-woven satin is good, it is very heavy." Because the gold-woven satin is mixed with countless gold threads, it is a bit heavier than ordinary silk and satin.And this silver-red gold-woven satin was a gift from Kangxi, Kangxi must be happy to see it.
The warm sleeves, Qingluan is about to fly in pairs, needless to say the craftsmanship of the needlework bureau, especially when embroidered on the gold satin material, under the sun, the golden light is shining, especially dazzling.Kangxi took Wen Xi's hand and entered the hall together, his tone was gentle, as if he was saying something familiar, "I just gave you more because I saw that the gold-woven satin that I paid tribute this year was a little better than previous years, and now it is really excellent!"
Wen Xi smiled, today she just dressed more luxuriously because she wanted to give the secret concubine a blow, people rely on clothes, Buddha depends on gold clothes, what kind of posture you want to put on, you must have the corresponding attire.It's just that, she doesn't like to dress too rich.But he didn't refute Kangxi's words, just still smiling.
The Hongluo charcoal in the charcoal basin is burning vigorously.The heating is smoky, and in the center of the beauty's couch in the Nuange, there is this large box with red peony patterns, inside are various silk threads, gold threads and scissors. I just learned how to tie a net from Zhu'er, but I can't make anything.Wen Xi couldn't help but blushed when she thought that the auspicious knot that was inferior to children's craftsmanship was still in Kangxi's hands.
When Kangxi saw him, his voice contained a little tenderness: "I won't disturb you, what do you want to do. Just keep doing it."
Wen Xi was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It's not in a hurry." Kangxi's sympathy knot is not easy to learn, but Wen Xi is also a little worried.Silk threads are inherently thin, and it is not an easy task to weave intricate silk threads into exquisite concentric knots.
Kangxi looked quite interested, and said: "Concentric Knot. Just weave it in red and add a bright yellow tassel at the bottom. I will keep it as a fan pendant."
Wen Xi blinked her eyes, and said puzzledly: "It's winter now, the fan has long been put on the shelf, isn't the emperor planning to put the concentric knots of the concubines on the shelf too?" He said.His mouth pouted, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Kangxi suddenly smiled narrowly.There was a joke in his eyes, "If my concubine makes a concentric knot with my own hands, I will naturally wear it every day. But I think, with my concubine's small hands... I think it will take next summer to weave a concentric knot that looks like it." Knot. Just fell on the fan."
Wen Xi immediately became furious and angry, and made a gesture to hit him, but seeing that there were others around her, she had to drop her fists.He stomped his feet angrily, "Is the concubine so stupid?!"
Kangxi laughed happily. "No matter how stupid my concubine is, I won't despise her!"
Wen Xi puffed her cheeks angrily, grabbed a ball of bright red silk thread and pulled it in her hand, trying to get one out, but it got messed up, and the ball became more and more messy, and it became more and more difficult to untie. Wenxi was so angry that she grabbed the silver scissors in the holding box and was about to smash them into pieces. Zhu'er hurried up and snatched the scissors and the ball of thread, and comforted him: "My master, what you need to untangle the ball of thread is Patience, where can I use brute force?"
Kangxi sat on the gilt-carved chair opposite and laughed more and more, Wen Xi was both ashamed and angry, his face turned purple with anger, it was extremely ugly.But Zhu'er was still nagging and preaching: "My master wants to learn how to play the net, the most important thing to learn is patience. People who are impatient will never learn this well!"
Wen Xi wants to refute, but finds that she has nothing to refute. In terms of patience, Wen Xi is far inferior to Zhu'er.He could only glared angrily at Kangxi who could only read jokes.
Zhu'er straightened out the silk thread after a while, and was about to pass it to Wen Xi, but took it back, twisted the silk thread into a ball, and said while winding it: "Fortunately, the silk thread is slippery and easy to untie, but it would be bad if it was cotton thread." Yes. The slave will help the master to wind it into a ball, so it will not be easy to mess up." After saying that, he wound it into a red round ball the size of a goose egg, and then handed it to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi changed hands and threw it into the holding box again. The round ball of thread whirled around in the holding box for a few times before stopping. She didn't want to hold this difficult thing anymore today, so she ordered: "Go and call it. Prepare some exquisite snacks in the dining room, I want to eat now."
Zhu'er had no choice but to go on as told, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
Kangxi straightened his body suddenly, suppressed most of his smile, and said with deep thought in his eyes, "I have something to discuss with you."
Seeing that Kangxi didn't seem to be joking just now, Wen Xi could only straighten up and listen attentively.
"I think Yu Yudai is not too young, and I plan to choose an auspicious day to be canonized next year." Kangxi looked at Wen Xi intently and said, the meaning in his words was not a discussion with Wen Xi, but an announcement.
Wen Xi frowned, and said, "Bi'er is still young, so she is not in a hurry to get married."
"I know," Kangxi said with a slight smile in his eyes, as if he could see through Wen Xi's heart, "Yu Yudai is not too big, and she is not too small. I just want to give her a canonization in advance."
Wen Xi let out a sigh, princesses are always canonized before marriage, Kangxi said so, Wen Xi felt a little relieved, but then frowned, and said: "The fifth princess, Qi Buchen, is still one year older than Bi'er." , I can’t ask my younger sister to be ahead of my older sister.”
Kangxi lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Then canonize together! It's also good for Qi Buchen to get a little bit of Yu Yudai's joy."
Kangxi continued to smile and said: "When it comes to getting married, although there is no rush, it is time to choose a son-in-law! Naturally, let Qi Buchen look after her."
Wen Xien said, "Only one thing, the emperor has promised his concubine, and will not ask Bi'er to marry far away in Mongolia."
Kangxi walked up to Wen Xi, sat on the beauty couch, held Wen Xi's hand, and said, "It's only natural! I just have someone who looks good, I want to tell you about it." Kangxi paused, staring at Warm eyes: "What do you think of Shun Anyan?"
Wen Xi was puzzled for a while, "Who is Shun Anyan?" Suddenly, the name Shun Anyan was very familiar, and then she blurted out: "Tong Guowei's grandson? Fourth elder brother's companion?!"
Kangxi nodded, "Not bad."
But Wen Xi was reluctant, without him, Shun Anyan was the nephew of Concubine Tong and Concubine Tong!At the beginning, Shun Anyan was able to become the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's companion, it was Tong Guifei's handwriting.Although Wen Xi has never met this person, she does not want her daughter to marry into the Tong family.
Shun Anyan, the eldest grandson of Tong Guowei, the future heir to the dukedom of Chengen of the Tong Jia family, it is not clear how gentle and gentle his character is, but it is not bad to be able to be Yinzhen's companion, but looking at Tong Jia The looks of Concubine Gui and Concubine Tong, this person must not be bad in appearance, but Wen Xi is reluctant in the end.
Moreover, Shun Anyan is about the same age as the fourth elder brother, about 20 years old, and as the eldest grandson of the Tong Jia family, he has never married a wife, which shows that he has planned to become the master early.There are several princesses in the palace who are about the same age as Shun Anyan, and Wen Xi's sixth princess is the tallest and the emperor's favorite. When she thinks that her daughter has been coveted by others, Wen Xi is not happy.
Kangxi is such a sharp-eyed person, how could he not see Wen Xi's reluctance, so he could only comfort him: "It is true that I am in love with Gu Nian and Tong Jia's clan, but I am not disregarding Yu Yudai's happiness. Good character and appearance, young and promising, but also an excellent candidate."
Wen Xi said in a muffled voice: "Shun Anyan is about 20 years old, right? There must be many concubines?"
Kangxi chuckled, and said: "Shun Anyan is a self-reliant person, not a lustful person, not only does she have no concubines, she doesn't even have anyone in the house."
Wen Xi was taken aback for a moment, "Really?!" Born into a wealthy family, not lustful?If this is the case, it is not impossible to consider.I just don't know if he has no concubines because he is not lecherous, or is he so self-sufficient for the sake of honoring the Lord and planning for the future?However, no matter the former or the latter, they are all candidates that can be considered.
Kangxi smiled, quite proudly: "I have asked someone to take the school exam carefully and secretly for a long time! Ever since the fourth child got married, I have asked her to be Lan Ling's guard, and last year she was promoted to second-class guard."
The second-class bodyguard sounds humble, but as a bodyguard, he was promoted step by step from Lan Ling's bodyguard in a small room, and Shun Anyan's promotion speed was quite fast.The second-class bodyguards are the third-rank ones. Once they are released, they will be the officials of the frontier, or the official positions of the six ministers. The future is bound to be extraordinary.If he can honor the Lord, the future will be even brighter.
Wen Xi hesitated slightly, unable to make up her mind.However, Kangxi did not intend to force it, and patted Wen Xi's hand with a hint of negotiating, "How about this, I will ask Yu Yudai to go and see for himself some other day, and see if he likes it or not."
"The concubine should also take a look!" Wen Xi immediately said, her daughter is still very simple in matters of men and women, what if she is deceived?
There was displeasure on Kangxi's face, "You are my concubine!" His tone was inexplicably sour. It can be seen that this Shun Anyan is good-looking, and I am afraid that he has the appearance of Pan An and Song Yu.
Wen Xi pouted: "Isn't it okay to treat the son-in-law as the mother-in-law?!"
Kangxi was a bit unhappy at first, but was immediately amused by Wen Xi's words and expression, so he waved his hand and said, "You can come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to take a look someday!" The imperial guard, Naturally, they are served in front of the emperor, and the harem is naturally a forbidden area for guards, and they only need to patrol along a fixed route every day. The concubine's palace is absolutely forbidden, so I have to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. (To be continued.
