Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 258 The Tranquility Before the Storm

After returning to elder brother's office, Tong Jia Xili settled down, looking at everything familiar around her, feeling infinite peace in her heart.

The furniture of huanghuali wood has a faint smell of soothing incense.Gillian rolled over lazily on the futon, sitting in front of the desk, and saw the crabapple flowers showing their branches.

It is really not easy to see Haitang after summer.

Everyone in the world sighs that it is a pity that the crabapple has no fragrance, but how can it not be difficult for the crabapple to be so delicate and beautiful, but can maintain the quality of being fragrance-free?

Unfortunately, sometimes it is often another kind of beauty.

"Go get my pen and paper."

Tong Jia Xili looked at the crabapple flower outside the window, and suddenly had a desire to paint in her heart.

A branch of red dew condenses the fragrance, cloud and rain Wushan heartbroken in vain.May I ask who is like the Han Palace, poor Feiyan Yi Xinzhuang.

Li Bai wrote this poem with a lot of melancholy.But there is such a bright red branch, which looks like a peony but also looks like such a crabapple by the window.

Tong Jia Xili didn't want to add so much sorrow, so after drawing this picture scroll, she picked up a pen and wrote: "The branches are full of fresh green, and Xiaolei hides a few spots of red. Cherish your heart and don't spit it out lightly. And teach peaches and plums to make spring breeze."

Begonias are delicate and beautiful, and the flowers shouldn't be so melancholy.

Taoyao hadn't served Tong Jia Xi Li's side for two months, but now she was serving Tong Jia Xi Li grinding ink and painting.Looking at the white drawing paper adding color, I can't help feeling.

"Fujin's crabapple flowers are really beautiful. The slaves stayed in this elder brother's house all day in spring, but they never noticed such beautiful crabapple flowers."

Tao Yao smiled and said: "It's still Fujin who is careful, and can always find this insignificant beauty."

"Isn't it? There are many beautiful things in the world, but they lack the eyes to discover beauty." Tong Jia Xili said, but seemed to think of something in a trance.

When she was painting today, it was actually quiet outside the window, without any sound.

In the past, there would always be another Dong E family in the yard chatting and admiring the flowers.At the beginning, Dong E's family had a miscarriage, but now they don't know what's going on.

"Recently, what's the situation at Sanfujin?"

Tong Jia Xili thought of this, so she couldn't help asking Taoyao.

Speaking of this matter, Taoyao immediately showed a smile on her face, raised her eyebrows, and said: "Recently, there is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river in Sanfujin, and it is difficult to protect herself, but she is safe."

"Look, without Sanfujin making noise outside all day, our Gillian is getting fatter."

"Why is it hard to protect yourself?" Tong Jia Xili asked: "Didn't you say that miscarriage needs to be recuperated?"

Could it be that there was something wrong with his body, that's why he couldn't go out.

"Of course Sanfujin is not willing to be quiet." Tao Yao said, "But Concubine Rong is in charge of her. It's okay for Sanfujin to be arrogant and domineering when she was pregnant."

"Now that she has lost her child, she has lost her ceremonial guard. In addition, she committed suicide to lose her child. Now, with Concubine Rong, can you still give me a good face?"

"Although there are no rules for Sanfujin. But Concubine Rong has said that if Dong E's temper is so perverse, then Sanbeile will have to take a concubine."

The husband and wife relationship between Dong E and Yin Zhi is plain, and Dong E's temperament is flamboyant, hoping to hold Yin Zhi firmly, so naturally he does not want Concubine Rong to give Yin Zhi a concubine.

In this way, if the shortcomings are taken advantage of, naturally they can only live in peace.

"It's quiet where she is, and it's quieter here." Tong Jia Xili looked at the painting scroll where the ink had gradually dried, and said, "Let's find a time to frame this painting, I'm quite satisfied."

After all, Tong Jia Xili, who felt a little sleepy, went to rest first.

During the two months when Tong Jia Xili left the palace, the palace has been safe and sound, without any major changes.

It is nothing more than that there is often some friction between the elder brother and the prince, and in the palace, it is the matter of Su Mala's poor eyesight that has always involved Lord Kangxi's heart.

After Aunt Su Mala's eyesight became bad, the two children below could only be taught by other aunties.The Empress Dowager liked to be idle, so only Princess Wen Xian would ask her occasionally.

When Hepin Guerjia heard the news, he took Princess Jingyi to his knees to raise her.

As a result, there is only one lonely thirteen elder brother left in Shoukang Palace.

...

That night, Yinzhen stayed in Qianqing Palace for a long time before returning to elder brother's place in the dark.

Lord Kangxi talked with Yinzhen for a long time about things like Confucian temple sacrifices and Sinology.It also involves a lot of things to be dealt with in the future. Just thinking about it, Yinzhen felt that the burden on his shoulders was a bit heavy.

Under the stars, Tong Jia Xili, who slept a lot during the day, could not sleep at this hour.

In Beijing in early summer, the night air is quite cool.Wearing a thin dress, Tong Jia Xili sat in the yard waiting for Yinzhen to come back.

The occasional chirping of cicadas can add a bit of charm.

Su Peisheng helped Yinzhen carry the lantern in front, and when he arrived at the door of elder brother's house, the light of the lantern had already shone on Tong Jiaxili who was sitting on the stone table in front.

Tong Jia Xili was gnawing on a pot of tea and a plate of snacks in front of her, bored.

When the sound of Yinzhen's steady and heavy footsteps came, Tong Jiaxili turned her head involuntarily.

"Are you back?" Tong Jia Xili walked up to Yinzhen, looked at Yinzhen carefully and said, "Why did it take so long to go to Qianqing Palace?"

"Emperor Niang sent Aunt Dongyun over to visit us. If we have time tomorrow, let's go to Chengqian Palace to greet Huang Er Niang together, shall we?"

Yinzhen responded one by one, and then said: "Recently there are a lot of things. There are some new errands in the household department. Tomorrow, you will follow me to Shoukang Palace to see the thirteenth brother."

"Huang Ama has many children, and the birth mother of the thirteenth brother died early and no one is taking care of her. What Huang Ama means is that if she has time to find a good adoptive mother for him, it's not good to keep working hard on Su Mala."

Tong Jia Xili couldn't help but nodded when she thought of Su Mala's cloudy eyes.

"Mama Su Ma is not in good health, you should go and see. The environment of Shoukang Palace is pleasant, and it is suitable for Mama Su Ma to take care of her for the rest of her life."

"Well." Yinzhen said: "The mansion outside the palace, according to Su Peisheng, has almost been completed. It's just that the scenery is not perfect, and it will probably be fully repaired by the end of the year."

In other words, by the end of the year at the earliest, and the beginning of next year at the latest, Tong Jia Xili and Yinzhen will have their own homes.

It's a good thing that I don't have to stay in this elder brother's house and live with Yinzhi and his wife.

PS:

Yinzhen: Xi Li, we are moving~ Finally we can live in the world of two.

Xi Li: Isn't it a three-person world?

Yinzhen: Huh?

Xi Li: When we move next year, we can have little buns~ By then, won’t it be a three-person world~
Yinzhen: No, no, no, it's not a three-person world.

Xili: What is that?
Yinzhen: Give birth to more buns and form a football team!

Xi Li: ... (Hey, I don't want to be a sow.)
