Chapter 61 Between Mother and Son
Gao Ju asked Chen Danxia to make a move first. Chen Danxia was not polite, so he took out a white piece and put it on the chessboard with a snap. Gao Ju's black piece was next to Baizi.
"Brother Qin, you started to get stuck from the first step?" Chen Danxia asked.
Gao Ju stared at the chessboard, his face tight and his eyes were gloomy. "I know that the dam of a barely burrowed with the hole of an ant; the room of a hundred feet was burned with the blaze of a sudden gap."
Chen Danxia is still semi-illiterate. She doesn't understand such words as classical Chinese, but she hears a sense of hatred in his tone. How can he get hatred at a young age? Chen Danxia's heart skipped a beat, glanced at him secretly, didn't dare to say more, moved his little butt, accidentally sat on the silver bullet missing on the couch, "Oh." Chen Danxia reached out and touched the silver bullet out, and stuffed it into the purse that was loading the silver bullet.
Gao Ju saw it with sharp eyes and asked, "What is that?"
"Silver bullets." Chen Danxia took out a few and showed them to him.
Gao Jing asked with a smile: "Little Jiumei is also playing with slingshot?"
"Yes." Chen Danxia also took out the slingshot and showed it to him.
"Have you ever chased a dog?" Gao Ju asked with a smile.
"It's in Lu Tai, but I'll never go back to Jindu, but I've ever beat a starling brother raised by my second uncle." Chen Danxia answered honestly.
"Is the fight accurate?" Gao Jing asked with a smile.
Chen Danxia shook his head, "No."
Gao Jing smiled, "Next time I will bring my slingshot over, I will teach you how to play, and I will win you by a hundred wins."
"That's good, thank you Brother Qin." Chen Danxia smiled with a bent eyebrows.
Tao had no idea what happened in the small hall. She was concentrating on mashing the brick tea she bought, putting the tea into a water pot, boiling the tea, and then adding fresh milk to it. The girl followed Tao's instructions and stuffed a few pieces of firewood into the stove.
The tea mixed with milk was boiling. Dow kept stirring it with a porcelain spoon until the tea milk was fully blended, and the tea leaves were clean. The boiled frankincense tea was put into a cup, added frosting, and brought it into the small hall for the two chess players to drink.
At the gate of the main courtyard, Tao met Chen’s mother, Chen Danli and Shen Dannian. Tao’s eyes flashed slightly, “Why is the old lady here?”
"Prince Qin is in your yard, why are you here? Who is accompanying the guest?" Chen's mother asked with a stern face.
"Reply to the old lady, I asked someone about the method of frankincense tea and cooked a pot of frankincense tea for Prince Yu. In order to prevent Prince Yu from sitting bored, I asked Xiao Jiuer to play chess and play time with him." Tao told the truth, there was nothing to hide.
Chen's mother's eyes lit up, her face calmed down, and she said, "Greet Prince Feng, let the Nine Girl be smarter, and leave a good impression on Prince Feng, do you know?" No matter who can get along with Gao Ju, it is beneficial to the Shen family. She doesn't have to have Chen Danli and Shen Dannian.
Tao and Shen's mother have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for decades. When Tao saw Chen's mother's expression, she understood her inner thoughts and couldn't help but sink. The reason why she let Chen Danxia approach and Gao Ju did not intend to let Chen Danxia marry into the royal family and support her friends, but she just wanted Gao Ju to protect Chen Danxia. However, in this attitude of Chen's mother, she would rather let her daughter be slightly far away from Gao Ju.
"What are you still doing here? Why don't you send the frankincense tea in quickly? Don't let Prince Yu wait too long." Chen's mother urged Tao, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Grandma, are we going to visit Prince Qin?" Chen Dannian instigated his mother to come over and left without seeing anyone. How could she be willing?
Mother Chen turned around and stared at her, saying, "Prince Qin has not been summoned, how can we disturb him rashly?" Mrs. Tao narrowed her eyes and looked at Mother Chen quietly, taking away Chen Dannian, who was not willing to go there for nothing.
Tao led his maid to the small hall with tea and pastries. Chen Danxia was defeated for the fifth time. When he saw Tao, he was overjoyed. She was so shameless that she lost. "Mom, the tea has been cooked, it smells so good."
"Drink slowly, it's a bit hot. Brother Bi, do you taste it, how good is it?" Tao smiled.
The maid brought the pot and poured two cups of tea, and gave it to Gao Ju and Shen Danxia. Chen Danxia pursed his lips and blew the tea in the cup. After taking a sip, he immediately found that the frankincense tea was very similar to the milk tea in later generations.
Chen Danxia lowered her head and pondered. Could it be that this frankincense tea was made by Master Cai's gentleman? No, if it were made by that person, she would have heard of it and drank it. She only heard it now. In other words, in this time and space, there should be people like her. Will this be a good or a bad thing? I haven't met that person, and I can't confirm that Chen Danxia didn't want to bother me, and forced herself to stop thinking about it and taste the frankincense tea cooked by Tao.
Gao Ju held the cup in both hands and drank a cup of tea in small sips. His heart was full of relief. It was the taste, the long-lost taste, "It's so delicious."
"If you drink it well, drink another cup." Dow took a pot and personally renewed it for him. "If you want to drink it in the future, come over and I'll cook it for you."
"Thank you mother...thank you third wife." Gao Ju glanced at the maid and changed his words to his lips.
Gao Ju stayed until the beginning of Youshi, and at the urging of the eunuch, he left the Shen family and returned to the palace. The outer robe that Tao gave him was put in a brocade box and held it tightly in his arms, like a rare treasure. As soon as he arrived at the palace gate of Jingfu Palace, he saw his mother, the current queen Zhao, surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs, walked out of the palace.
"My son has seen the queen and pays homage to her." Gao Ju said with tribute.
"Where have you been? Why did you return to the palace so late?" Zhao Hou asked coldly.
Gao Ju stood up straight and looked up at Empress Zhao, who was dressed in beautifully and gorgeously. "Don't the mother know that I'm going there, why bother asking me?"
Empress Zhao's face was slightly dark, "Why did you want to go to the Shen family? The Shen family is low-ranking and has no help. The saying that one is a couple on the same year, month and day is even more ridiculous and cannot be believed."
"My mother is worried too much." Gao Qi said calmly.
Zhao Hou's eyes flashed, and he thought of Tao's stunning face. He seemed to understand, and said, "If you can't bear to leave the beautiful Shen family girl, you can take it as a concubine in the future and give the Shen family some favors. Don't lose the big picture because of a small amount, do you understand?"
Gao Ju frowned and said, "My mother, I am only five or six years old now. Doesn't it be too early to say this? If you have time to care about these boring little things, why don't you care more about Guiren Jiang, Guiren Zhi and Guiren Li. I heard that Guiren Zhi had vomiting when drinking bird's nest soup this morning. Guiren Jiang and Guiren Li did not ask the imperial doctor to diagnose them with Ping'an pulse today. Doesn't the mother think this is strange?"
Zhao Hou was shocked, "How could you know these things?"
"If the son minister doesn't care about everything, wouldn't it be useless to give his mother's teachings to the son minister? He let down his mother's expectations for the son minister." Gao Ju said sarcastically.
Empress Zhao took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to worry about the matter in the harem. You should follow the teacher to study and practice calligraphy well, and don't let your father down, do you know?"
"My son knows, I'm honored to send my mother to the queen." Gao Ju didn't want to talk to her anymore. It was always such a cliché, and it was meaningless.
Zhao Hou raised his chin, walked past Gao Jue, swaying away, and dragged his beautiful phoenix skirt on the ground. The eunuchs beside Gao Jue knelt down and shouted, "I respectfully send you the queen."
