Chapter 2020: The Soul is Empty (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month)
North Garden, Queen Mother's Palace.
Nanny Bai was telling the Queen Mother the news outside.
"The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes have moved in, and the courtyards of the South Fifth Residence have been swept and cleaned. I estimate that all the princes will be here in a few days..."
The emperor is stationed in Haidian and the empress dowager is still here. Even if the princes have to work, it will not affect their filial piety.
The Queen Mother stood at the entrance of the aviary, watching Niguzhu touching the cranes and listening to Nanny Bai talking.
The crane was light and wanted to dodge, but it was held on both sides by two eunuchs and could not move. There was also a cloth strip tied to its beak.
There is no way.
Niguzhu couldn't touch the crane and couldn't stop thinking about it. The queen mother was partial to children, so she ordered people to subdue the crane.
They were worried that the bird's beak was too sharp and might hurt Niguzhu, so they tied its beak.
Niguzhu touched the crane's snow-white feathers, looked at the crane that looked a little embarrassed, and then withdrew his hand.
“Dengdengdengdeng…”
The little guy ran back.
The Queen Mother saw this and couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly said, "Good boy, run slower, run slower..."
If you fall on this bluestone road, you will definitely get your skin broken.
At this moment, Niguzhu had already run over and reached out to hold the Queen Mother's hand, but then he remembered something and sniffed his own hand with disgust.
"Smelly……"
She stretched out her little hand to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took a handkerchief, wiped her hair carefully, and held her little hand.
"It's not fun. Let's go to the farm and catch geese. There are a lot of geese on the farm. If we can't catch this one, there's another one. We can catch it ourselves..."
Niguzhu chattered.
The Queen Mother pointed at the crane and said, "It's not that I don't allow you to catch it, but it's big and you're small. If you catch it yourself, you won't have enough strength and it might hurt you easily."
The crane stood upright, about four feet tall, a head and a half taller than Niguzhu, and both legs were more than two feet long.
Niguzhu turned his head and looked at the crane that was released by the young eunuch. It fluttered away as if it was chased by a dog and went to the corner of the aviary.
Because of the effort of struggling, he lost two feathers. He looked miserable and miserable, and lacked some of his leisurely demeanor.
Niguzhu could not deceive himself, so he said to the Queen Mother: "I won't catch it anymore. It doesn't want to play with me. I will go find someone who is willing to play with me..."
The Queen Mother asked, "What if no one wants to play with you?"
Niguzhu thought for a while and said, "There are still Ama and Enie, as well as Mama and Wuku Mama. If you are all busy, I will go to school. I am a big kid now and can't play all the time..."
At this point, she suddenly realized something, turned around and pointed at the crane and said, "No wonder it doesn't want to play with me. It must be a big crane and doesn't like to play anymore."
"Yep……"
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "It's not that they don't want to play with you, it's because they are all grown up and don't like to play anymore..."
"Giggle..."
Niguzhu smiled, shook the Queen Mother's arm and said, "I am different from them. I will also like to play when I grow up. I will come to accompany Mother Uku when the time comes."
The Queen Mother looked at Niguzhu and asked softly, "When the time comes, will you miss home? Will you miss your father and mother, or your mother?"
Niguzhu raised his head, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "I miss Mama. My father has Enie, and Enie has my father. Mama only has me by her side."
The Queen Mother nodded gently and said, "Okay, then after dinner, let Mammy take you home."
"it is good……"
Niguzhu smiled brightly and said, "It's time for me to start my classes. If I fall too far behind, I won't be able to catch up even if Sister Hui helps me later."
"Who is Sister Hui?" asked the Queen Mother.
"She was my companion in study. She was Lord Cao's daughter. Her great-uncle was also Khanmafa's companion in study. I forgot about Sister Hui..."
The Queen Mother now roughly knew whose girl she was.
Cao Family...
Cao Yin's great-niece...
As Niguzhu said this, he felt a little embarrassed.
"It's so much fun here, Mom Wuku, and there are so many delicious foods. I didn't even think about my family these past few days..."
The Queen Mother said, “Then…do you want Mother Wuku to take you in again in the future?”
The old lady hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"Of course!"
Niguzhu nodded without hesitation, his eyes sparkling, and said, "If you don't pick me up, what will I do if I miss Mother Wuku? My soul will be hollowed out."
The Queen Mother didn't understand and asked, "What happened to the soul?"
"My soul is hollowed out, thinking about what Mother Wuku is thinking about..."
Niguzhu raised his little face and said.
The Queen Mother found this novel and interesting, and it didn't seem like something a child could come up with. She asked, "Where did you learn this?"
Niguzhu rolled his eyes and did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around as if he was about to whisper something.
"Mother Wuku, please come with me..."
As Niguzhu spoke, he pulled the queen mother away. When they were about seven or eight steps away from the palace servants and eunuchs, he whispered, "My father told me that when he came back from work, he hugged me and said that he missed me so much that his soul was gone and his body became like an ornament. Doesn't that mean his soul has been hollowed out..."
The Queen Mother and Nanny Bai looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
This couple didn't even know how to stay away from children.
The Queen Mother coughed lightly and said, "Yes, yes, Mother Wuku knows. Don't learn this in front of others in the future."
Niguzhu nodded honestly and said, "No, no, I don't want to learn. I know that's the secret between my father and my mother, so I will learn from my mother and mother Wuku."
Queen Mother: "..."
Niguzhu looked at his chubby little hands, first stretched out a palm, then put down two fingers, and finally put down three fingers.
Her little hands moved around and her face was full of confusion. It took her a long time to make a decision.
"Mother Wuku, please pick me up every two days. My head hurts from studying all the time..."
Niguzhu said pitifully with tears in his eyes.
When the Queen Mother saw this, she couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Let Mother Wuku take a look. Where does it hurt? Did your father and mother send a doctor for you?"
She was smiling these past few days, but now she is crying when she talks about reading. Could she be like her fifth uncle, who gets confused as soon as he reads?
Niguzhu pointed to his forehead, then pointed to the back of his head, and said, "It hurts, my head is buzzing, and I can't remember the teacher's homework yesterday..."
Having said this, she became a little depressed.
"My eldest brother remembers, my second brother remembers, and Sister Hui remembers, but I can't remember. Mother Wuku, am I too stupid?"
The Queen Mother said hurriedly, "Who said that? I have never seen a child smarter than Niguzhu. It's because your teacher is stupid and taught Niguzhu the wrong lessons. I will ask your father and mother to find another teacher to teach you later."
Niguzhu burst into laughter immediately, and said, "I think so too. I am the child of my father and mother, so I must have inherited their intelligence."
After lunch, Niguzhu took a nap as usual.
The Queen Mother said to Nanny Bai, "Go to the Fifth House and ask Shushu to pick her up. I need to have a good talk with her. The child is still young. How can you teach her like this? She will not like studying anymore."
We need to find a few more imperial doctors to take a look. It took a whole group of doctors to diagnose the fifth brother’s illness.
If the Empress Dowager had not known that the Fifth Prince did not lie and that when he said he was confused he was truly confused, she would not have been able to diagnose that he had this illness.
Nanny Bai hesitated and said, "Are you really willing to send the eldest princess back? She has only lived here for a few days..."
The Queen Mother said, "That's all. When it's time for her to learn the rules, she can't just be left here to roam free. When the eldest princess is tired from school, we can bring her over to relax."
Too much is as bad as too little. Why let your children suffer from jealousy?
Nanny Bai said nothing more and went downstairs to the fifth building.
There are five main rooms, and all of them are filled with children.
Brother Fengsheng brought the little prince over, and Huijie also came to accompany the third princess.
Seeing that the Third Princess was getting close to her mother, Akdan was a little unhappy. He leaned over to Shushu and said, "Mother, pick up my sister. She hasn't been to class for three days..."
Shushu said, "My sister is accompanying Mother Wuku."
Akdan said with a troubled look on his face: "My sister is a slow learner to begin with, and now she is going to forget everything she learned before."
Fengsheng was also a little worried, and said to Shushu: "When the time comes, I'll tell the teacher and let him teach my sister from the beginning!"
Shushu also didn't want her daughter to become bored with studying, so she thought about discussing with the Ninth Prince whether or not to separate Niguzhu's homework from Fengsheng and his brothers.
Or you can temporarily put aside learning to read and only learn Mandarin and Mongolian.
This is the best time for children to learn a language.
As for the introduction to literacy, it can be moved to after the age of six.
Shushu knows that when it comes to children's education, it is not advisable to just "talk about it on paper" and more adjustments should be made.
It is important to be an educated person, but it is also important to preserve children's childhood.
Just as he was thinking about it, Cui Baisui came in and reported, "Master, Master Fujin, the Queen Mother sent Nanny Bai over."
The Ninth Prince was leaning sideways, looking at the top of "Bu Ge'er's" head to see how many whorls there were.
Each curl of this woolly curly hair is like a whorl, and there are so many of them that you can’t count them all.
When he heard someone coming from the North Garden, he sat up straight.
This is because of caring too much.
Shushu ordered Baiguo: "Welcome Ying for me."
Baiguo followed Cui Baisui out.
The Ninth Prince couldn't wait to tell Shushu, "Could it be that Niguzhu got into trouble?"
The Empress Dowager is kind and will not take it to heart, but she will let the Emperor know later and he may have to take note of it.
As a son, I am scolded just because I am scolded. It doesn't involve anything else.
There are many things involved in Niguzhu's case.
It is only said that in the future, when she is conferred a title, according to the title given to the legitimate daughter of a Beile, she can only be conferred the title of Dorogege.
This Dorogege is different from Mrs. Bo's.
The lady of the earl is the legitimate daughter of the prince, and this Duolo Gege is the fourth-rank county lady among the clan daughters; when it comes to Niguzhu, if she is given the title of Duolo Gege, she will be the fifth-rank county lady among the clan daughters.
But if she was given the title of the emperor's granddaughter, Niguzhu could be given the title of Heshuo Gege, which means Princess.
Although Niguzhu is only four years old and it is too early for him to be conferred a title, the Ninth Prince has already made his own plans.
The couple would prepare a generous dowry for their daughter, with no shortage of money, so the rank of the noble would be very important.
"Hey, he should be sent to the Imperial Grandmother when he's two years older..."
The Ninth Prince felt somewhat regretful: "He is only four years old now, he doesn't know the seriousness of the situation, and he has always been very courageous..."
