Chapter 116 Sending ears of wheat the year before and corn last year?
He immediately held her in his arms and squeezed her little face, "Fifth sister is trying to drop the golden beans, right? It's fourth sister-in-law's fault for scaring you."
After hearing Chu Yu's words, Wu Gege shed tears and said with sobs: "No, it's Yujue who disturbed the fourth sister-in-law. The fourth sister-in-law must have had a hard time returning to her parents' home." She is also a girl.
Since I was a child, I have known that it is not easy for a married woman to return to her parents’ home.
Chu Yu smiled and touched her head, wiped her tears, and said gently: "It doesn't matter, your fourth brother is so good to me, why don't I just go back whenever I want?"
As soon as these words came out, Wugege didn't even bother to cry, he just looked at her blankly.
The fourteenth elder brother also frowned. He really didn't think that the fourth brother was very kind to his fourth sister-in-law.
Chu Yu pondered again and said, "If Yujue feels embarrassed, go to the kitchen in a while and help me make meals together."
Wu Gege then nodded and laughed through tears.
Chu Yu also smiled and touched her head. She was a sensitive child and she would always take it to heart if she was not allowed to do something.
The fourteenth elder brother curled his lips next to him and murmured in a low voice: "Fifth sister only knows how to cry because she doesn't know what kind of person she can marry in the future."
Chu Yu didn't hear clearly, so she turned to look at him and asked, "What did the fourteenth brother say?"
The fourteenth elder brother gave a sweet smile at this time and looked very well-behaved. "I didn't say anything. I just thought that there was a strong wind and sand outside. The fifth sister couldn't cry like this, it would hurt her face."
He is not a big man, but he knows a lot.
The serious look looked very funny. He then touched the head of the fourteenth brother and praised: "The fourteenth brother is really well-behaved. This means you know that you feel sorry for your sister."
Wu Gege was smiling on her face, but she curled her lips when she looked sideways at him. She didn't believe that Xiao Si could say anything nice about her.
"By the way, why did you just say that you came to the house in exchange for a thousand-character essay?" Chu Yu just remembered and asked.
The fourteenth elder brother tidied his sleeves a little embarrassedly and said coyly: "It was Huang Ama who said that after memorizing the Thousand Character Essay, he would be rewarded. After I recited it silently, I begged Huang Ama and said that he wanted to come to the fourth brother.
At the fourth sister-in-law's house, the fifth sister happened to be fine, so she came with her."
"Xiao Shisi is so awesome. He wrote the entire Thousand-Character Essay silently." Chu Yu praised with a smile.
Brother Fourteen was even more embarrassed, his face turned red.
He doesn't like literature but loves martial arts, as his brothers already knew when they were his age.
I heard that the fourth brother had already memorized it when he was 4 years old. And he actually wanted to be rewarded by Emperor Ama, which is really nothing to be proud of.
Of course, Wugege didn't think this was a surprise. She had already memorized it, and the fourteenth brother had been memorizing it for a long time.
But Chu Yu really praised it sincerely. A thousand-character essay means a thousand words. It is not easy for children of this age. It is really amazing to be able to write it down silently.
Furthermore, children should be praised for their efforts, so that they will be motivated.
Following the two children talking and laughing like this, I felt like I was back at Fourth Master's house in a short while.
As soon as I got home, I took my two children and changed their clothes, planning to go to the kitchen.
Of course, before going to the kitchen, Chu Yu made an agreement with the two of them, "Let's hook up. No one can tell me about taking you two to the kitchen, including Fourth Master and Er Niang, or I won't take you with me next time."
It’s time to play.” He said it a little solemnly.
The two younger ones nodded.
She stretched out her little finger to hook them.
Wu Gege stretched out her hand without thinking. Brother Fourteen saw her serious look and didn't care about her childish hook-pulling action, so he stretched out his hand.
The three of them checked and stamped, and Chu Yu took the two little ones to the kitchen.
"What gifts do you want to prepare for Emperor Ama during the Wanshou Festival next year?"
Wanshou Festival is actually the birthday of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. If I remember the birthday of Emperor Kangxi correctly, it should be in March. It is still early and there is plenty of time.
"Originally I wanted to make embroidery, but after seeing other sisters' embroidery, I felt that my embroidery skills were poor, so I gave up the idea. Now I really don't know what to give." Wu Gege said anxiously.
, the sisters are already making preparations, but she doesn’t have a clue yet.
Chu Yu nodded and said: "Actually, giving gifts is a gesture of sincerity. What else can Emperor Ama lack? Let's just send a token of filial piety. Where is my fourteenth brother, what do you plan to give?"
Then he looked at Brother Fourteen.
Brother Fourteen scratched his head, "My mother asked me to write a hundred characters for longevity, but my handwriting is ugly, so I didn't plan to send it. I don't have a clue now."
"So you two little guys came to me for advice? I don't know what to give as a gift?" She also frowned at this moment. She should also prepare a birthday gift for that person.
"Fourth sister-in-law, we all think you have a lot of ideas, please give us some advice. By the way, you also have to prepare a birthday gift, why don't you think about it now?" said the fourteenth elder brother.
Chu Yu spread her hands, feeling helpless as she didn't know what else to give as a birthday gift besides birthday cake.
"It should be enough if I give you a gift from your fourth brother, right?" she asked.
"It's okay, but the birthday gifts that fourth brother gives every year are very common. Last year, third brother even made fun of fourth brother." Wugege said.
Chu Yu frowned, "What did Fourth Master give you last year?"
"Fourth brother... the gift last year was wheat ears, and last year... corn. This year, the gift is potatoes." Wu Gege wiped the sweat from her forehead and said. She was a little embarrassed to say it.
"Um... I still need to discuss this matter with your fourth brother. If it doesn't work out, let's make some meals together and send them to him." Historically, Yongzheng was very pragmatic, but this is the first time I've heard of someone specifically sending ingredients to the emperor as a birthday gift.
, it seems that the fourth master here is also very pragmatic.
"The meal is not that big, right? It seems that I have never heard of anyone giving meals to Huang Ama as a birthday gift. In other words, the fourth brother gave me food." Wu Gege said. He felt that this actually seemed like he didn't take it seriously.
The fourteenth elder brother also nodded, "Yes, fourth sister-in-law. There is no way to commemorate the meal." The gifts given by others are all wished to be kept forever. From time to time, when I see something, I can still think of this person, so I give him something to eat.
It's over after you eat it, who remembers it?
After sending it out, I guess the fourth brother will still be laughed at.
"Of course it has commemorative significance, because no one has given it to me before, so it is more special for us to give it to you. Furthermore, do we want to make the Queen happy by giving the gift? After the Queen is happy, our goal will be achieved.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a commemoration or not, if you really want to leave a memory, just find a painter to draw two portraits.”
After hearing this, Wu Gege thought it made sense, but Brother Fourteen still frowned slightly.
"Okay, don't think about it. You are thinking about other birthday gifts. If there is a suitable one, I won't give you this meal. It's still a long time."
Both children nodded and reluctantly accepted.
"Don't worry, the food your fourth sister-in-law and I made will definitely taste good. Huang Ama should be able to remember it. I will make it for you later. If you think it is good, next year we will treat it as a gift to Huang Ama."
