The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

The time spent playing around passed quickly, and three or four months passed in a flash.

Lin Ji had already brought Zhou Tong back to Beijing. Although he still had a lot to say, he could only look forward to going out again when he had a chance next time.

On this day, when the prince and princess got up early in the morning, they heard that Zhuang Lan was outside the door.

She went out in surprise and saw that the little girl was really squatting at the door, picking up a branch from somewhere and poking it on the ground. Looking carefully, her mouth was still raised high.

The crown princess asked strangely: "Why are you here alone?"

Zhuang Lanhong looked up and saw the princess, dropped the branch in his hand and rushed forward, hugging the princess' thigh: "Auntie, my mother has been taken away."

The Crown Princess was taken aback and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

Then he realized that if Daiyu was really kidnapped, the courtyard would definitely not be so quiet, it would definitely be a mess, Zhuang Lanhong would not have the patience to poke a branch outside the door and wait for them to get up, Looking closely at Zhuang Lanhong's expression, his face was filled with grievance and resentment, but he was not worried, so he laughed and said, "Tell auntie, what's going on?"

Zhuang Lanhong's mouth became more and more pouty, and he grabbed the crown princess's clothes and said: "Father snatched away mother, and I'm not allowed to follow."

The concubine laughed, and even the prince next to him couldn't help laughing, he hugged Zhuang Lanhong and said, "So you're here to block my uncle and aunt?"

Zhuang Lanhong grabbed the prince's skirt and said pitifully, "I only have uncles and aunts. Uncle, can you take me in?" The voice was soft and soft, coaxing people's hearts to melt.

The crown prince and crown princess have always liked this little niece, and when they saw the expectant little eyes, they had no strength to resist at all.

The prince immediately let Zhuang Lanxuan sit on his arm, even bumped it a few times, and said cheerfully: "Don't bother with your unreliable father, Huan'er just come and be a daughter for Uncle."

Zhuang Lanhong rolled his eyeballs, and shouted in a polite manner: "Uncle, Daddy." He hugged the prince's neck and rubbed his cheek.

He made the prince happy all the time.

Hearing the sound, Zhuang Rui rushed over, his face was still a little red - I'm sorry that he got up later than Zhuang Lanhong, but he really had a good time when he was out these days, and it was rare for the prince and princess to pamper him. Even if he was tired and went to bed late, no one would wake him up.

When Zhuang Lanxuan saw Zhuang Rui, he wanted to get off the prince, and held hands with Zhuang Rui, he bounced and walked beside the prince and princess, the grievance and resentment from earlier was gone.

This scene happened earlier in front of Zhuang Yu and Daiyu. When the prince wanted to be alone with the princess, Zhuang Rui would be thrown to Zhuang Yu and his wife. Now it can be regarded as "reciprocity"?

The Crown Princess watched the two children laughing and joking together, and sighed: "It's a pity, it would be great if I could be our daughter-in-law. Just like Daiyu, we decided to go home and raise them since we were young."

The crown prince laughed loudly and said: "If that's the case, my younger brother will definitely call the door, maybe he will snatch Rui'er home instead."

Zhuang Lanhuang and Zhuang Rui jumped out of a section, turned around and found that the prince and princess were behind, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle and aunt, hurry up, my stomach is hungry."

The prince and princess laughed, and took two quick steps to catch up, each leading a child to have breakfast - children must not be hungry.

Before the meal was finished, Zhuang Xuan, Zhuang Zhuo, and Lin Yu came back from the outside. They looked very hungry. Seeing that no outsiders were present, they saluted and looked at the food on the table with salivating eyes. .

There are not so many rules when going out, not to mention that Zhuang Xuan is three and a half years old, and the prince is here, so there are not many taboos. It is only funny to see them like this.

The concubine hurriedly asked her servants to serve some porridge and snacks, and the prince asked strangely, "Why did you come back at this time? Could it be that you were on a journey at night?"

They have traveled to Henan in the past few days. Zhuang Zhuo, Zhuang Zhuo and Lin Yu heard that there is a temple on Songshan Mountain. The monks in the temple are all skilled in martial arts. They immediately became interested. They made an agreement with the prince and Zhuang Yu four or five days ago , took people there.

In these two days, it is time to come back, but it should not be early in the morning. If you drive at night, you will not take your own safety seriously, and the crown prince will say a few words to them. It's better to send them back to Beijing early, so as to save them from regretting in time.

Zhuang Xuan and the others also knew how powerful they were, so they hurriedly explained that they were on their way yesterday, and they only calculated the time to avoid arriving before the city gate closed, so they found a place to rest in a nearby town, and returned early in the morning at dawn.

After hearing this, the prince forgave them for not daring to lie, so he gave up.

Only then did the three of them start to eat and drink, they were tall and half-grown boys, they got up early in the morning and hurried on their way, but they were not so hungry, they ate too much, Zhuang Lanhong and Zhuang Rui were dumbfounded. .

The crown prince shook his head and laughed, "It's strange that there is a saying in the folks that 'a half-sized child eats a poor old man'. People like you really can't afford it."

Lin Yu is more polite, and he can't eat so much at home on weekdays, but now he runs around with the two brothers Zhuang Cui every day, and his appetite has also increased.At this time, after hearing the prince's words, they smiled embarrassedly, but Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Zhuo didn't care, even afraid that Lin Yu would be embarrassed to eat more, so they put a big steamed bun into Lin Yu's bowl, saying : "Eat more, if you don't eat enough, you won't have the energy to go out and play."

Zhuang Lanhong and Zhuang Rui had already had their stomachs full, so they curiously asked the three of them about their experiences when they went out.

Zhuang Zhuo swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth, and said: "I have seen the monks in the temple practice martial arts, every move is vigorous, and it looks very majestic. But there is no reason, and I haven't seen them make moves. I don't know the depth. We can't call The guards are going to test their skills? I stayed there for two days, and I went around all the places I could go, and there was nothing interesting, so I set off and came back."

Zhuang Xuan also added some knowledge in the temple, and said that there are some places where foreign pilgrims are not allowed to enter. Zhuang Lan and Zhuang Rui also found it interesting.

Zhuang Xuan and the others finished eating, and when they heard that Zhuang Lan was left behind by Zhuang Yu, they naturally volunteered to take Zhuang Lan and Zhuang Rui to find a place to play. , very easy.

But Daiyu didn't realize it until she was wrapped up in the carriage by Zhuang Yu, and she just experienced such a situation some time ago - the prince and princess threw Zhuang Rui to them, and ran out for a day by herself. Then he clamored for "revenge" to go back, isn't it now?

Daiyu couldn't pinch the flesh on Zhuang Yu's body, so she just twisted his ear, and complained plausibly: "You also have the heart to leave Huan'er behind, what if she cries? When you go back, I won't be angry." Come up, I don't care about you, don't come to me to complain about your grievances."

Zhuang Yu didn't care at all, and said, "Huan'er is very smart, do you think I left her behind? Didn't she steal a lot of things from me, so she was 'dumped' obediently by us, otherwise she would just Just clinging to you and pretending to cry a few times, how can you let me go?" As she spoke, she inevitably showed some sourness.

Daiyu was so funny that she couldn't break free for a while, so she could only be held by Zhuang Yu and leaned into his arms, and asked, "What did she blackmail you? I bought a lot of things for her these days, and I shipped them back halfway There are several boxes."

Zhuang Yu waved his hand and said, "Where do those count? She wants a lot, such as little pony, little tiger, little falcon, little swan... I want to tie lanterns, kites, and boats for her by myself, and you Make her a riding outfit, and I'll take her to ride a horse... I guess the little book in her bosom, which is specially used to keep accounts for me, is already a thick stack."

After hearing this, Daiyu laughed and fell into Zhuang Yu's arms. Zhuang Lanhong wanted these things, so naturally he couldn't get them.It's just that Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu at the top of the family, and the two brothers Zhuang Zhuo and Zhuang Zhuo at the bottom, all like to play "bargaining" with Zhuang Lanyan. What Zhuang Lanxuan wants to get, You have to give something, and you don’t want to develop the habit of getting something for nothing, even if she gives a poorly stitched purse in exchange for a valuable glazed revolving lantern, it won’t make her act like a baby, or drop a few drops. Tears, give her what she wants.

Daiyu thinks this is fine, Zhuang Lanhong's pampering is too much, if no one restrains her, I'm afraid this temper will be spoiled in the future.Anyway, it is very interesting to pay and gain in this way. The whole family enjoys it, and Zhuang Lanhong doesn't feel wronged at all.No matter how awkward the purse she made or how ugly the color was, anyone in the family would be willing to wear it if they got it, and they would not think it disobedient.

While talking, Daiyu mentioned Zhuang Xuan and the other three again, saying that they should be back today.

After hearing this, Zhuang Yu rubbed his face against her cheek like a fool, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't worry about them today, just think about me."

Daiyu was itchy slightly from the stubble on Zhuang Yu's face, she couldn't help giggling, she pushed his face straight and said, "No wonder I want to call you a rough old man, your beard is so itchy."

After Zhuang Yu heard this, he went even further and rubbed his chin against Daiyu's face and neck.

Being made such a fuss by him, Daiyu no longer cared about other people. Sure enough, Zhuang Yu was the only one with eyes and eyes all day. He took him to the most famous restaurant in the city to eat, and ate the snacks he bought himself. The two shared a bunch of candied haws, and he led him to climb mountains, swim in the lake, and even find a remote stream, and eat the fish he caught and grilled himself...

This day, Daiyu was very tired from playing, but the smile on her face could not be stopped.

"Next time, bring me with you," Daiyu said.

"Okay." Zhuang Yu readily agreed.They only need the couple to be alone occasionally, but if they are with their daughter, holding the daughter on their shoulders, and laughing and laughing together as a family of three, it must be a different kind of happiness.

Daiyu looked at her husband's handsome face and doting expression, and thought of her daughter's cute appearance who would yell and pretend to be wronged after returning home, and the little son who had been crawling all over the ground by Qiu Qingyu's side in Jingli, she couldn't help it. Laughed, smiled happily and contentedly.

The slight depression caused by a long and sad dream in the past few days has completely disappeared.

She is very happy now, and she will continue to work hard to be happy forever.
