Poor family mother and son

Chapter 165 Meeting Princess Zhaohua
Chu Qing started on the road on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and arrived in Kyoto on the tenth day.

This time I took Xiaobao with me, Xiaobao insisted on following, Chu Qing thought, the country of Voss has been gone for several months, the child can play as much as he wants, and he is only six years old after the new year, so he can't be too harsh.

It doesn't matter if Xiaobao comes here, the jobs recruited by several shops must be recognized by the owner.

After entering Beijing, I first visited Mrs. Hong.Mrs. Hong told Chu Qing everything that happened that day in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and told her: "Princess Zhaohua wants to see you, and I don't know how to see you. Maybe I will let you enter the palace. You Gotta be ready."

Chu Qing didn't know what to prepare, the presents were all gone, and this time he didn't bring presents, so he had to make some mental preparations?
However, since he came to Beijing, he had to go to the secret investigation department to meet and report.Send out the invitation by the way.

All the people present in the secret investigation department had an invitation card and said they would be there on time.That's a restaurant, and if you accept the invitation, you have to follow the party, and you can't eat back?
Besides, this is the God of Wealth personally coming to send out invitations. In the future, whether the secret detective department will have enough carbon for heating and whether the food in the cafeteria is good or bad will all depend on how much money Chu Qing earns back!
Mr. Hu said, the emperor just pays the salary, nothing else!

Chu Qing also walked around the Ministry of Industry. After all, we have the title of "Counselor". Do you admit that we are also in the same department? The invitation has been sent to you.

Chu Qing's invitations were carefully crafted, and she chose the most expensive custom-made ones. To be honest, she really cared about the money.

After finishing this circle, I got a message from the palace at night: the empress wants to see Chu Qing tomorrow.The little eunuch who came to pass on the message said that it was just to chat about family affairs, don't be nervous, and take the children with you, the queen likes children.

That means you don't need to wear official clothes, so you can relax a bit?What I saw was the mother of the country, so I really can't be a visit.

Mrs. Hong had told Chu Qing that the princess wanted to play with the loom, so this time Chu Qing brought two boxes of wool and cotton into the palace.

Entering the palace, I saw not only the queen, but also Princess Zhaohua.After seeing the ceremony, the queen gave the couple a seat.

"I'm fine, it's Zhaohua who is anxious to see you." The Queen smiled.

Princess Zhaohua said to Chu Qing, "Chu Baihu, you don't have an instruction manual for your loom. I want you to explain it to me."

An eight-year-old girl, with "Bengong" in her mouth, it can be seen that she is abiding by the rules, but Chu Qing sounds awkward: I can bear it when your mother says that, can you act like a child, a little girl?
"Princess is serious, I will demonstrate it to you." Chu Qing got up and replied.

The loom had already been placed in the hall, so it was best to get straight to the point. Chu Qing sat directly on the cross support of the loom and began to demonstrate.

But in this way, the little princess still looks confused, because there is no yarn, and it is not intuitive to just make gestures.Chu Qing was also in a dilemma, how should I explain this?

"Mother, why not spin the thread first." Xiaobao suggested.

Xiaobao is also a smart kid, everyone speaks "Ben Gong, Ben Gong" so formally, he is not good at shouting "Mother, Mother".

Xiao Bao's suggestion was good, and before Chu Qing could ask, the little princess said directly, "Come on, bring the spinning wheel over here."

Chu Qing saw that there were two spinning wheels with two pedals and three spindles. This was another one copied by the princess.

The little princess still hasn't been able to use all three spindles in the past few days, but she is very proficient in using the hand-operated spinning wheel.

The original small spinning wheel was also on the table.So Chu Qing pedaled the one, Xiao Bao cranked it by hand, and started spinning.

Princess Zhaohua stood beside Chu Qing and looked at it. She felt that she understood it, so she got on another spinning wheel to operate it.

Everyone's body coordination ability is different, Chu Qing and Xiaobao are particularly good at coordination, and the princess is not so good.

Xiaobao couldn't bear to look down on it, so he showed the princess himself.It is estimated that there are few scruples between children and the language is easy to communicate, but it is Xiaobao who taught the princess to understand.

In fact, if the princess can go up to the second ingot, it means that she has found the feeling, but the strength of her hand is not very good. If she puts on an extra ingot, she will not be able to control the tightness of the thread, and it is easy to break the thread.

Xiaobao's coordination is very good, and his little hands are also very dexterous. He can fiddle with it in three or two strokes, and he also taught the princess how to continue the thread.

Spinning is like cooking. If you do it as a job, it will be very boring, but when you cook on a whim, you will find it interesting.

The current Princess Zhaohua is in this state. She thinks that spinning is more interesting and more addictive than copying scriptures.

The three of them spun in silence, and the queen simply went to take a nap.After spinning all afternoon, the thread was wound on the loom to make warp thread. Chu Qing also talked about the functions of the heald frame and the heddle.

It wasn't until dinner time that Princess Zhaohua finally wove a finger-wide cloth on the loom herself. The little girl felt a sense of accomplishment.Chu Qing was so tired that her back ached.

The princess stayed clear to eat: "You guys stay and eat, I also want to ask you about 'Poking Music' and knitting." His eyes were full of inquiries.He doesn't call himself "Bengong" when he speaks, but you and me.

"Okay, but does your mother agree?" Xiaobao has become familiar with the princess this afternoon, and he has forgotten the status of seniority, and the princess doesn't seem to be able to tell.

"..." The princess looked at Chu Qing, not understanding whether Xiaobao agreed to do anything or not.Looking at Xiaobao again, it means: Your adults haven't spoken yet!

Xiaobao is inexplicable: I want you to ask your adults, why don't you move?

Chu Qing looked at the two children and wondered: What kind of eyes do they have on each other?what does it mean?

Oh princess, is this for me to answer? "I obey."

Only then did the princess feel relieved, she glanced at Xiaobao, Xiaobao quit: "I agree with my mother staying for dinner, have you received your mother's permission to treat me?"

"I, the queen mother naturally agree!" The little princess did not show weakness: "What do you mean you agree to your mother staying for dinner? You have no rules!"

"Mother said that I am the master of my family!"

"..."

"Ahem, princess, why don't you wait for the kung fu minister who passed on the food to show you how to play 'Poking Joy' first?" Chu Qing hurriedly interrupted.

It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, you can still make the decision, she is a princess, and your mother has to respect and worship her!

"Mother, I'll just teach her. She just wants to know how to make dolls. She already knows how to make dolls!" Xiaobao answered again.Mother's waist is sore, don't be tired.

"Fine, you can teach me." The princess was not picky. "However, you are a boy, how did you learn this?"

"Can't boys learn?"

"That's not true, but there are no men who do this, just as there are no women who build bridges and pave roads."

"My mother said that labor does not distinguish between gender, but only whether it is suitable or not. Women are naturally not as strong as men, so naturally they don't need to build bridges and pave roads.

If necessary, women can still go to battle to kill the enemy, my mother is.

But women are more careful and patient than men, so they are more suitable for delicate things. "

It was the first time Princess Zhaohua heard such a statement, and even the queen had never said it.She remembers what she heard the most when she was a child: "Girls should look like girls."

So what is it like to be a girl?That is to smile without showing your teeth, walk without shaking your shoulders, be dignified and generous, and be able to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.You can't show off, you can't do whatever you want, and everything must work towards the direction of marriage.

But can girls have other things besides getting married?It seems that I can't.I have never seen any women showing their faces outside, except for those poor civilians.

This Chu Baihu is an exception.According to my father, such a person is a model for women.But why do you ask yourself not to make mistakes?
An eight-year-old girl plunged into deep self-doubt.
