Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Road Picks Up the Baby


Just after the first lunar month, Kangxi took Ruo Huan into the palace in the name of the Queen Mother.

Only after meeting Kangxi did Ruo Huan know that in February Kangxi would take everyone with him to visit Jidian, so he had to make preparations first.

Ruo Huan was anxious about his bet with Brother Jiu, but he couldn't disobey Kangxi's wishes.

He didn't know how many days the tour would take.

If it took a few months, he might as well give up the bet and go directly to Brother Jiu.

It’s okay to admit defeat.

He privately consulted with Thirteenth Brother for advice, and learned from him that if there was no delay, it would only take ten to eight days, and Ruo Huan felt relieved.

I remember it was recorded in the history books that among the sons of Kangxi, the thirteenth elder brother had the best riding and archery skills.

Even Kangxi once praised him as "good at riding and shooting, and every shot is sure to hit."

Since he had already been asked, Ruo Huan wanted to ask the Thirteenth Prince to be his riding and archery master without bothering the two masters.

The Thirteenth Prince naturally refused, but he accepted the job.

At first, the Thirteenth Brother was afraid that Ruo Huan would not be able to bear it, so he only assigned one hour of homework every day.

Ruo Huan was worried and did not speak to the Thirteenth Brother, but secretly added an hour himself.

In this way, every time Thirteen came to check his homework, he would praise Ruohua.

The day of the tour to Jidian was coming soon.

Although it only lasted a few days, Ruo Quan could not avoid forgetting his homework, so he secretly brought a bow so that he could practice his arm strength on the way.

Ruo Huan didn't understand why Kangxi had to take him with him when he was handling government affairs like his tour to Jidian.

It wasn't a tour to the south, so he could just go sightseeing and enjoy the sights.

Fortunately, it was only in the Zhili area on the outskirts of Beijing, and the distance was not too far.

Ruo Quan was sitting in the carriage and would practice his arm strength with his bow.

After the settlement, Kangxi took a group of princes and ministers to inspect the river embankment, but left Ruo Huan behind.

Ruo Huan thought to himself that maybe Kangxi also felt that she was a girl and it would be inconvenient to take her with her, but she was happy to make time to practice.

During lunch, Du Juan came in with food.

When Ruo Quan saw it, he stopped his hand, put his bow aside, and asked, "Why, the emperor hasn't come back yet?"

Du Juan shook her head and said: "When I came back from the river embankment, the emperor ordered me to have a meal on the river embankment.

No, the imperial dining room hurriedly prepared it and sent it up."

Ruo Quan smiled and pulled Du Juan to sit down and said, "Since there is no one else in the stall, why don't you share some with me?

It's boring for me to eat alone."

Dujuan had been serving for a long time, and she already knew Ruohua's temperament, so she didn't refuse.

She sat down and drank some.

After a while, she finished eating, and got up to prepare something nearby.

After seeing Wei Shi, there was still no one in sight.

Ruo Huan ordered to prepare more hot water, so that this large group of people could only use it.

When it got dark, Kangxi came back with a large number of people, and he had attendants everywhere to serve his master.

Ruo Huan thought that there were many foreign ministers this time and he didn't know the situation, so he couldn't rush to Kangxi's office.

Moreover, Kangxi would not care about these people with him, so he didn't plan to go there to pay his respects.

In these days, everyone else went out early and came back late.

Every day when Ruo Huan got up, the courtyard was silent, with only the occasional servant passing by in a hurry.

In addition, the days were short and the temperature was not high, so it became increasingly cold.

One night, Du Juan served Ruo Quan to sleep, and when she was undressing her bun, Du Juan smiled and said, "Didn't you see, Gege, these days, the slaves look like clay figures when they come back?"

I don’t know what I did” "Clay figurine" Ruo Quan frowned.

It would be interesting to think that Kangxi had used his precious sons as river workers.

"No, there's a lot of mud on the shoes of these masters.

Yesterday, my servant saw that Master Ninth and Master Thirteen even had mud spots on their bodies," Du Juan said.

"I'm afraid it's not unusual for the emperor to train a few masters."

After combing his hair, Ruo Huan went to the bed.

The cuckoo responded and lay down like a phoenix.

Four or five days passed, and just when Ruo Huan thought that Kangxi had forgotten him, Li Dequan came over and said that Kangxi was going to take Ruo Huan out with him today.

He then turned around and asked Du Juan to serve Ruo Huan and put on some light clothes.

I took some clothes and went back.

Ruo Quan picked out a light orange fine linen Han costume embroidered with white camellia.

Du Juan was skillful and in a short time, she dressed up like a pretty Han girl.

Ruohua looked in the mirror and said, "Braid your hair."

Dujuan responded, and in just a few seconds she braided Ruohua's long hair that was hanging down her back into two braids, and the tassel hair accessories hanging down from both sides were braided into the braids.

She looked a lot more childish.

Three years old.

He led Du Juan to Kangxi's courtyard.

Kangxi and the others were not in the house, but were sitting in the courtyard chatting in twos and threes.

When they saw Ruoyu coming over, they all turned their eyes away.

Ruo Quan walked a few steps quickly and led Du Juan to greet several people.

After calling, Kangxi took a look at Ruo Huan's appearance, nodded and said: "There is no need to follow Du Juan, just stay."

"Yes."

Du Juan responded and took two steps back.

After the group set out, Ruo Huan asked about it on the road and found out that Kangxi wanted to dress up as a commoner and see the life of the people in the suburbs of Beijing.

Walking on the road, Ruo Huan sighed in his heart.

Although he didn't know what Kangxi's purpose was in bringing him out this time, he accidentally brought him to his hometown.

Although the scene was completely different, he felt cordial to him.

It seemed that he was with him at this moment.

My parents are the closest.

"What are you thinking about?

You look like you're in a daze," Brother Thirteen said, bumping Ruo Huan's arm with his elbow.

Ruohua came back to his senses, smiled at Thirteenth Brother, and said, "Although these people are not living a wealthy life, they are still comfortable."

Brother Thirteen smiled back at her and said: "I have been following your thoughts all the way, thinking about things that a discerning person can see at a glance."

Ruo Huan laughed: "Otherwise, we would still have to think about big things that require our brains."

Chatting and laughing, the group of people gradually reached a sparsely populated place.

Sibeile was always cautious and deliberately tried to stop him, but Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood.

Fortunately, everyone in the group was skilled, and they were protected by secret guards, so nothing happened. .

"What is that?"

Brother Jiu saw a flash of red in the weeds not far away, which seemed to be a cloth bag.

It’s not that Ninth Prince has sharp eyes, the fields are dry and yellow, the red color is really noticeable at first sight, and even if Ninth Age doesn’t notice it, others will see it.

Seeing Kangxi slightly nodding, Brother Jiu stepped forward to inquire.

Ruo Quan followed the others and stood where he was.

Seeing Brother Jiu bending down and reaching out to uncover the red cloth, he took a look at it, then covered it back up, but he didn't come back immediately. .

Brother Thirteen couldn't wait any longer and walked over.

Ruo Huan saw him saying a few words to Brother Nine before he went to see what was in the red cloth.

He saw Brother Thirteen's hand froze, but he didn't see it.

He immediately took his hand back, instead stretched it closer, explored it, and then straightened up.

After muttering a few words to Brother Ninth, he picked up the red cloth parcel and then walked back together with Brother Ninth.

Seeing Kangxi frowning slightly and asking questions in his eyes, the Thirteenth Brother said: "Go back to Emperor Ama, there is a baby in this package, it is still breathing, but judging from the face, it has been abandoned for some time, I don't know Huang Ama" Hearing that it was a child, Ruo Huan was a little surprised.

He had seen many reports of abandoned children before, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

Ruo Huan walked up to Brother Thirteen, opened a corner and took a look.

The little guy was a little thin, and his purple complexion looked a bit scary.

Suddenly, the baby's little mouth moved, very small, but Ruohua felt that something in his heart was touched.

He ignored Kangxi's instructions and took the baby over from the arms of his thirteenth brother.

He put his warm palms on the child's face, and when the temperature dropped, he continued to breathe, and so on.

Ruo Huan didn't know if she could save the little milk baby, but she couldn't help but remain indifferent.

Seeing Ruohua's behavior, Kangxi temporarily suppressed his anger and said, "Let's find someone else first."

At Sibeile's suggestion, the group of people turned back the way they came.

After drinking tea, they found a farmhouse they had just passed by.

The family was a middle-aged couple.

The hardships of life made them look older than their actual age.

An old couple has a son and a daughter who live together with the old couple.

The eldest son is already married and has a baby girl who has just learned to walk.

The younger daughter has not yet grown up.

After announcing their intention, the old couple gave up their room, and Ruowan allowed the woman to take him into the back room.

There was a fire pit burning in the room.

Ruowan originally planned to sit on a stool, but he couldn't resist the woman, so he took off his shoes and sat on the back.

On the bed.

After a while, the woman brought in another brazier, put down the curtain and went out.

However, the brazier had just started to burn, and the temperature in the room would not rise for a while.

Ruo Huan didn't know how long the baby had been lying in the ice and snow.

She was afraid that the frost would kill the baby before he could feel the warmth.

Regardless of the many things, Ruo Quan untied his clothes piece by piece, until he had a thin bellyband, and then opened the swaddling clothes wrapped around the baby, and took off the baby's small, thin cotton-padded clothes, leaving only The next small red bellyband has a big carp embroidered on it, which is lifelike.

This is a baby girl.

She is very thin.

Ruo Huan is even afraid that he will hurt her if he moves too much.

Shiveringly, he held the baby in his arms.

The sudden chill made Ruo Huan shiver a little, and he even felt a little timid.

Ruo Huan hurriedly covered her clothes piece by piece and held the baby warmly in her arms, hoping to use his body temperature to restore her life that was passing away little by little.

The curtain was lifted, and a burst of milk fragrance floated in.

The old woman held a bowl of freshly heated milk and said: "What a coincidence, my daughter-in-law is currently pregnant with her second child.

She is afraid that the milk is not enough, and she has a baby at home.

Sheep.

She has given birth to a lamb and is full of milk.

Come here and feed the baby a few mouthfuls."

As the old woman said this, she moved a high stool to the edge of the kang and placed it on the bed.

Put the steaming goat's milk on the stool.

Ruo Huan nodded and thanked with a smile: "Excuse me, I don't know what to call you."

When he came in, Ruo Huan was taken to the back room by the old woman.

I don't know what they told the owner, so Ruo Huan also No words.

After telling Ruo Huan that her husband's surname was Chen, Mrs.

Chen asked Ruo Huan not to be polite to her, took out a quilt from the cabinet, covered Ruo Huan with it, and said, "This is a new cotton made just a few years ago.

The inside of the quilt is new, and the quilting is also new cotton.

It has only been covered once on New Year's Eve.

It has been washed clean, so you can just cover it."

Ruo Huan was holding the child in his arms and could not do much, so he only thanked Mrs.

Chen again.

Sister-in-law Chen waved her hands and said "I don't dare" before going out.

Ruohua hesitated and called out Sister-in-law Chen and said, "Please tell the people who came with me to let them come over."

Chen said.

My sister-in-law responded and went out.

After a while, Brother Thirteen came in.

Seeing Ruo Huan's disheveled clothes, he hesitated, then lowered the curtain and entered the house.

"What's the matter with calling someone over?"

The thirteenth brother stood on the edge of the kang, neither standing nor sitting.

Seeing that it was the thirteenth elder brother who was coming, Ruo Huan thanked Kangxi for his wisdom and said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little scared.

This little baby is a little cold, just in case, just in case."

The thirteenth brother immediately understood what Ruo Huan was thinking.

Seeing Ruo Huan showing timidity, he glanced at the little half of the baby's face that was exposed, and comforted him: "Looking at the baby's appearance, I think he is gradually getting better.

Let's They're all here, don't be afraid."

He saw the bowl placed on the high stool and was about to say something, but the thirteenth brother looked embarrassed and didn't say anything.

Ruo Huan looked at the baby in his arms, but didn't notice the look on his thirteenth brother's face.

He suddenly felt the baby move, and Ruo Huan exclaimed softly: "She moved."

Hearing this, Brother Thirteen also leaned over and saw the little head gently rubbing under the layers of clothes.

He smiled and said: "I guess this baby hasn't been frozen for too long.

Look, his face is much better now, little mouth."

It's pink and tender too."

She said with a smile and reached out to tease the baby's little face, but her hand stopped in mid-air, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Now that she's awake, help me feed her some goat's milk."

Ruo Huan saw Brother Thirteen's embarrassment this time and hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over.

The thirteenth elder brother responded, took the porcelain bowl, scooped up the milk with a small iron spoon, and blew on it a few times.

As if smelling the fragrance of milk, the baby actually twisted a few times in Ruo Huan's arms, causing the two of them to look at each other and laugh.

Seeing Ruo Huan pulling open the skirt of his clothes, the Thirteenth Brother's hand froze, but before he could speak, Ruo Huan said: "I have always known your character.

I can't take into account the many expediency measures.

It's just you and me."

The two of them know it.”

The baby was too young, and Ruo Huan was inexperienced.

After feeding most of the bowl, the milk gradually became cold, and Ruo Huan did not dare to feed him any more.

After trying the baby's forehead, he found that the body temperature was normal and his face was rosy.

Ruo Huan breathed a sigh of relief and asked his thirteenth brother to carry the baby over first.

He casually covered his clothes and wrapped the baby.

Okay, then I tied the buttons of my clothes back one by one.

Ruo Huan took the baby back into his arms.

The little guy seemed to have fallen asleep again, peacefully and much more surprising than before.

The Thirteenth Brother went out first and came back after a while to say that Prince Zhi had already found a carriage.

Since the baby was fine, there was no need to disturb him too much, so Ruo Huan got off the kang with the baby in his arms.

The thirteenth elder brother hurriedly took the baby over and waited until Ruo Huan put on his shoes before taking the baby back to Ruo Huan's arms.

He also tied the fox fur cloak on Ruo Huan and said that Prince Zhi had brought it back with him.

After leaving the back room, Ruowan saw several people waiting for him and called Kangxi.

Kangxi nodded and the group said goodbye and left.

Ruo Quan held the baby and sat in the carriage with Kang Xi, while the others rode horses and went directly back to the camp.

As soon as they entered the hospital, a group of people who had received the news were already waiting for them.

The imperial physician, mama and palace maids left first with their babies in their arms, while Kangxi and others went back to their respective residences.

As for the whereabouts of the baby, Ruo Huan was not worried anymore.

He just thought of how the ninth elder brother would be deflated in the future, and Ruo Huan found it really interesting.

On the way back to the carriage, Ruo Huan asked Kang Xi how he planned to place the baby, and Kang Xi asked Ruo Huan what he thought.

The wind blew up the car curtains, and Ruo Quan happened to touch a corner of Brother Jiu's clothes.

A hint of slyness flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "If it is the Emperor's permission, Ruo Quan would think it would be good to raise this child in Master Jiu's house."

"Oh, why is that?"

Kangxi was a little puzzled.

He had some idea of ​​who Ruo Huan usually had good friends with, but among those people, Lao Jiu was not the one to be counted.

"Your Majesty, you know that raising a child is a huge expense.

Among these princes, they are the richest in Master Jiu's family.

Moreover, Master Jiu has many wives and concubines, so he is not afraid of having one more baby.

He can just find someone to raise him.

All make.

"Jian Kang.

Xi smiled and nodded and shook his head.

Ruo Huan also knew that Kang Xi couldn't see this little trick of his.

It was just innocuous, and he was happy to play with him, just like when he "just" "Live" is the same as when it came over.

After telling a joke, Ruo Quan calmed down a little and said: "I was celebrating the birthday of Concubine Liang, and Ruo Quan was temporarily staying in Babele Mansion.

I was honored to go to Jiu Ye's house and meet Jiu Ye's concubine, the Lang family.

She has a kind heart and a kind face, so it’s no mistake to let her raise this baby.”

Kangxi thought for a while and said: "Since she is the one you like, let her raise her.

It's just her name."

"Your Majesty is right.

Even though she is a girl, it is not easy to raise her in the royal family.

She can be recorded in the name of a housekeeper or manager, but she will just be raised in the house."

Ruo Huan said hurriedly.

At this time, Kangxi finally nodded.

After returning to the house, Sibeile was waiting in the house with a bad look on his face.

This is strange.

When they separated just now, he was clearly walking in the direction of his own yard.

When did he turn to his side and walked to the front of him?

"What's wrong with you?"

Ruo Huan asked after Du Juan retreated.

"Why should the child be sent to the ninth brother?"

He learned the news quickly.

Kangxi made the decision so quickly.

"Is he rich?"

Ruo Huan poured a glass of water and took a sip.

"I want to hear the truth."

Sibeile obviously didn't believe it.

Rolling his eyes at Si Beile, Ruo Huan sighed: "Ruo Qing and I are good friends, and I can trust her as a person.

If I give her the child to raise, she will definitely take good care of the child.

Saving the child is also a good idea.

It’s not easy, so I feel relieved.”

"Why, are you so worried about leaving it to me?"

Sibeile looked unkind.

"It's not that I don't worry about you, but raising children is a woman's business.

No matter how much you take care of them, you can't take care of everything.

Send the children to your house."

Ruo Huan suddenly stopped talking and turned his back.

He has always avoided this question, but today the person who was rushing to talk unexpectedly said it out of hand.

Ruo Huan suddenly lost his mind.

If Ruolan didn't finish, Sibeile understood it immediately and secretly said to himself that he was abrupt and said hurriedly: "It's all my fault.

I was impatient.

You can send the child wherever you want, as long as you don't get into trouble with me."

Ruo Huan still turned her head away and refused to make a sound.

She didn't know where the grievance came from, but it came so violently.

Whenever she made a sound, she was afraid that she would shed tears.

Sibeile seemed to know it, and walked around to Ruo Quan, pressed Ruo Quan into his arms, and coaxed him softly.

Until he felt that the person in his arms was relaxing, he suddenly thought of something.

Sibeile rubbed the tip of Ruo Huan's nose and said with a sour tone: "Why did it take so long to call the thirteenth brother in?"

"I don't know who the emperor will ask to come over, but I'm a little scared to be alone in the room."

Ruo Huan played with the jade pendant around Sibeile's waist, and his tone was inadvertently squeamish.

Sibeile paused for a moment, hugged Ruo Quan tighter, and said, "It was my negligence, and I shouldn't let you, a girl, see it."

Ruowan didn't expect Sibeile to understand, so he laughed suddenly, punched Sibeile, and pouted: "You know you still let me stay alone in the house.

At first, if Mrs.

Chen from that house hadn't come in and out, I almost would have killed her."

Scared to tears” Sibeile sighed exaggeratedly and said with some "resentment": "If Huang Ama hadn't been outside, I would have wanted to follow him in and confess honestly, how much did the Thirteenth Brother see when he went in?"

Ruo Huan was stunned for a moment and said: "What have you seen?"

Sibeile bit Ruohua's face gently and said, "Pretend I don't know, just hold that baby in your arms."

"How did you know?"

Ruo Quan was surprised.

Could it be that Shisan told him?

"I'm not worried.

I went to ask the old woman from the farmer's house, and then I found out."

Sibeile snorted and said, "How dare you leave your thirteenth brother for such a long time in disheveled clothes?"

Sibeile hesitated. , the following words gradually disappeared.

It's been a while since I've seen Sibeile's childish look.

Ruowan was teasing him and said with regret: "It's a pity that the emperor is in a hurry to leave, what if it were otherwise?"

"If not, what?"

Sibeile asked.

"If not, I can keep the Thirteenth Master for a while longer."

Ruo Huan looked as if he should take it for granted.

"How dare you?"

Sibeile tightened his arms.

Seeing Ruo Quan frowning inadvertently, he immediately relaxed and said, "If you are not in front of me in the future, you are not allowed to dress like this."

Ruo Quan chuckled and said, "You only allow the state officials to set fires, but don't allow the people to light lamps.

You are overbearing."

"Since I'm being overbearing, do you hear me?"

Sibeile said softly.

Ruolan pursed his lips and said, "If it were you who came in today, I wouldn't wear it like that."

Sibeile's face darkened and he spoke a few words: "Then what kind of clothes do you want to wear?"

"I don't have anything to wear anymore," Ruo Huan said with a smile, pushed the stunned Sibeile out, and closed the door with a bang.

Outside the door, Sibeile shook his head and smiled.

Through the thick door panel, he seemed to see Ruo Huan's blushing face in the room, heard Ruo Huan's "dong dong" heartbeat, and felt Ruo Huan's rising body temperature.

He left with a slight smile, leaving the people in the room blushing because of his overly bold words, leaning against the door, laughing and annoyed for a while, not knowing how good it should be
