It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 133

Since Nanny Gui was chosen by Concubine De, she naturally turned to Zhou Ting. She pinched the two peach branches and leaves, and used the excuse of improper rules to detain them in the room, preventing them from approaching Nian Shi, who was next to Nian Shi. Only the maid assigned to her by the mansion was left.

Before she could say a single word to Yinzhen, she was caught and recuperated from her illness. Although the girls around her didn't neglect her, she didn't come with her after all. She didn't dare to ask them to go out and help find out the news.Having lived in the palace for so many years, Nian still understands this truth.

Zhou Ting is not strict with her, and has all kinds of soups and tonics.However, Zhou Ting kept an eye on the yearly regulations issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked people to send them to the East Courtyard according to the items on the list.

According to the previous practice, the one-year expenses of the side Fujin and the unusable or out-of-fashion items in the daily diet plan were all converted into silver.For example, there are charcoal fires in the daily necessities, and when they are not in use in summer, they are all converted into silver. Even the rice in the officials’ salaries is mostly sold to rice shops at a low price, and the family puts the silver in to buy polished rice for eating.

Zhou Ting knew that Nianshi didn't have much money, and the girls found out what was in the dowry box when they put it away. They reported it to Zhou Ting before the sun came out the next day. She had no money. , Zhou Ting will naturally not send money to the door.

Knowing that she has no roots at this time, Nian used up the 2000 yuan to buy a decent dowry, and even supplemented the private house that she had saved all these years. She really wanted to win over the girls around her. , I couldn't get anything out.

She has been a side Fujin for many years. First, she had money and banknotes from her natal family, and later she was favored by Yinzhen. She never thought that when she had money and could not make up for it, she carefully read the list of annual records. I discovered something that I had never thought of for so many years.Even if there is a promise in the palace, money will be given out, but the prince Fujin only gives out clothes material, no money at all!
Nian only took care of the house for a few days when she was with her mother in her previous life, and she had forgotten about it after more than twenty years. Even if these things could be exchanged for money, she didn't know how to exchange them.Turning her head, she saw Xiao Xi'er added a piece of plum blossom cake to the small enamel filigree incense burner.

The lingering rain in autumn fell on the window frame bit by bit. Nian stood up with the edge of the bed and looked outside. No one took off the knotted colorful silk, and it was wrinkled on the pillar wet from the rain, which didn't look festive.She leaned back dejectedly, and suddenly realized that this was no longer her previous life.

Nian's fingers were digging at the carved flowers on the bed, her eyes were dazed, although she only glanced at it, she didn't miss Nala's blushing face and soft waist, it was clearly because Shiro drank too much wine, Keeping him, it was obviously her bridal chamber wedding night!

Originally, the reason was all on her side, she was obviously the one who suffered the great grievance, but she didn't expect to scare the two princesses into sickness.Shiro didn't even ask anyone about this illness.Nian closed his eyes, and if he followed his original temper, he would say that his wife was unruly, even if he didn't feel sorry for her, he should make up for her, but he was messed up by this incident.

The raindrops were annoying, and she knew Shiro's temperament thoroughly. If the two children were not good, she would not like him anyway.Nian frowned and opened her eyes. She didn't dare to ask other news. She could still inquire about the condition of the two children. Are days better?"

Xiao Xi'er paused first, then remembered that Nian had changed her name, turned her head and smiled: "I heard that the fever has subsided, and it's already recovered."

Nian breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for Shiro to come to see her like this is impossible in a short time, she has to find a different way, Nian turned the bracelet on her hand and bit her lip: "Go to the main courtyard, Tell Fujin that I want to see my natal sister-in-law." Mrs. Su is not good to treat her anymore, she always wants to come and have a look when she hears that she is sick, Mrs. Nian doesn't understand why Mrs. Su wants to replace her girl, but now All she can rely on is her natal family.

After hearing this, Xiyue didn't immediately agree, and said with a troubled face: "Although the two princesses are better, the main courtyard is still busy. I'm afraid that Fujin won't agree to go there at this time."

Nian didn't care too much, she must see Su Shi, and she didn't want to admit that she also understood that Shiro treated her well in the past, partly because she had a capable brother: "I caused such trouble for Fujin when I first came here, and I thought I'm really uneasy, I really want to ask my natal sister-in-law to come over and talk, so you go and ask."

Xiyue nodded her head, and Nian waved her to go out. Xiyue took two steps back and flung the curtain on the porch. Although she was second class, Taozhi Taoye didn't even Nianshi take care of them. The first girl in the house was waiting, and before her feet touched the wet ground, a little girl came to pick her up with an umbrella.

The two turned around one after the other and walked out the door to the main courtyard. The little girl followed her holding an oil-paper umbrella: "Sister Xi'er, the master is too inconsiderate. One autumn rain and one cold, how can you be this way?" It's time to ask someone to do errands." Xiyue smiled at her and didn't ask her to change her mind. She didn't like this sour name very much, but she couldn't refuse it.

Walking all the way, the women of all the courtyards are lazy in front of the gate. Rainy days are more comfortable than snowy days. Snow days have to keep sweeping snow, but rainy days can’t leave the courtyard. Even the sweepers in the courtyard have to eat and eat Cracked teeth in one place.

The skirts of the two of them were all wet before they reached the main courtyard, so someone came in at the door, Pearl asked someone to wipe them with a towel, pointed to the main room and said: "Fu Jin watched the two princesses all night, this time I'm trying to catch up on sleep, if there's nothing important, talk to me first, and when you get the letter, ask someone to come back."

Xiyue said she was about to leave, Zhenzhu grabbed her, and the little girl over there brought sugar-steamed pastry cheese: "This rain is very cold even if you hit it on your body, why don't you go back after eating something." The girl had already swallowed her saliva, Pearl pulled Xiyue aside, the two met and had a conversation, Pearl personally sent her to the gate of the courtyard.

Zhou Ting didn't get a good night's sleep for several days. Yinzhen went to Concubine De to ask for leave for her, and asked her to rest at home for a few days. She didn't have to go to the palace to pay her respects. A thin silk blanket of purple lambswool was covering her body, and soothing incense was burning in the stove, accompanied by the sound of rain, it was a good dream.

Pearl came in quietly, saw her sleeping deeply on the couch, took silk thread to tie the knot, the sky was overcast, and Pearl had just played half a wish when she heard Zhou Ting asking for water, so she quickly adjusted the honey pot In the past, I gave her a cup of warm water first, and then gave Zhou Ting honey water to drink.

"The one in the east courtyard said that he wanted to see his natal sister-in-law." Pearl put down the teacup and put a pillow behind Zhou Ting. Zhou Ting stretched out her hand to straighten her hair, covered her mouth and yawned: "But the monthly routine has been delivered?"

In addition to clothing materials, the mansion also distributes monthly silver to each concubine. Zhou Ting is considered generous, and gave Nianshi 20 taels of monthly silver. 20 taels of silver is a lot to put outside. The outside salary is only 130 taels of salary a year, but she is new here, so it doesn't cost money to manage the servants to clear up the relationship?

Zhou Ting pinched the lid of the tea bowl and hooked the corners of her mouth: "I promise her." If she is not afraid of her moving, she is afraid of her not moving. She is someone who can avoid causing trouble, so how could she faint in front of Yinzhen? No matter whether she is really dizzy or fake, she is already completely on the opposite side of herself. Even if it is for the sake of her children, she will not let Yinzhen Zhen went to touch Nian's finger.

Thinking of Nian Shi's simple dowry, she felt that Nian Shi would not be welcomed at home, so she added: "Even if the other side refuses to come, I still have to ask someone to come!" Pearl responded, reaching out to accept it. After putting the teacup on the kang table, he turned his head and went out to instruct the little girl to send a message to the East Courtyard. When it reached her mouth, Zhou Ting's words were naturally polished a bit, and the words were beautiful and crisp.

This time the big girl and the second girl were so bad, they had a fever that night, Zhou Ting asked someone to take ice cubes and mix them in water to wrap their handkerchiefs to cool them down, and stayed there until midnight.At first the two children were still sound asleep, but in the middle of the night they had a fever again, whimpering and not knowing what to say.

Pearl took out the small jade pillow used in summer, and Zhou Ting personally wrapped ice cubes in a towel and put them on the backs of the two children's necks. This was the method the doctor in the emergency room taught her when she went to see a doctor, saying that it would cool down the fastest. .

This time Zhou Ting really couldn't hold back her tears. What mother can see her child suffer this kind of suffering? She lost her temper and summoned the judge from the Imperial Hospital, feeling the pulse and prescribing medicine, even Concubine De was alarmed, as soon as the palace gate was opened, someone was sent to ask, and she tossed for a whole day and night.

The heat finally receded, but the two children were still not at all refreshed. They lay sleepy on the bed, willing to eat anything.Biyu made a thick porridge and scraped off the top layer of porridge oil. Zhou Ting fed it to the two children with her own hands. Because it wasn't cold and she was not afraid of infection, Zhou Ting asked Hongshi Hongzhao to come to see them. He leaned over and gave the two sisters a "Hoo Hoo".

However, Hongshi knew that the two younger sisters were frightened into sickness by the newly entered side Fujin. He was only five years old, but he could tell the difference between good and bad, so he took Er Niu's hand to comfort her: "Fumin is not uncomfortable, Fuhui is not It's uncomfortable, tell Ama to send her off!"

The big girl and the second girl had pointed chins, and there was no taste in their mouths, and they didn't taste good. Zhou Ting asked Biyu to chop the meat finely and cook it with the porridge. The round apple face was thinned out.Yinzhen's heart ached so badly, he still thought they were noisy, and they suddenly came close to him to hug him, and he was not used to it.

Originally, he treasured his two daughters the most, and he had to test a few rules of discipleship with Hongzhao before he was willing to show a smile, but the eldest girl and the second girl could do anything they wanted, and now they turned their big black eyes with pointed faces, Yinzhen even agreed to their request wholeheartedly, and ordered Su Peisheng to go to Sijiu City to find new things to make the two girls happy.

Zhou Ting felt sorry for her daughters, so she didn't make rules for them at this time. The empress dowager even ordered someone to come and ask. The second girl was even more timid, and Nian's hand was on her instep, and she would cry at night in nightmares. Shouting, Zhou Ting carried them into the main room, slept between her and Yinzhen, and coaxed each of them, making Yinzhen become a real dad back.

The relationship between husband and wife can be better step by step. If a man becomes a shopkeeper, he will naturally go to other women to be "needed". Zhou Ting bothers him with these children's affairs, and he feels that this place can't be done without him , more willing to be a good Ama.

Zhou Ting was tired and thin because of the eldest girl and the second girl. She was sick and hurt her mother's heart. She couldn't eat and sleep with her two daughters these days, and her waist became thinner. Yinzhen saw her haggardness in her heart In his eyes, after seeing the two children after coming back today, he came to the main courtyard, put his arms around her shoulders and put his hands into the lapel.

"Han Ama rewarded me with the Old Summer Palace. When Fumin and Fuhui get better, our family will move there. There are mountains and water there, and it is more interesting than the small garden in the mansion." She smoothed her hair: " You've been busy these days, and it's just a matter of time to relax, the Empress Dowager and Er Niang are going to Changchun Garden, it's close, please make it cheaper."

Since we are a family, will the Nian clan go?Zhou Ting slept a lot during the day, so she didn't feel sleepy at this time, she just pretended to squint her eyes and leaned against Yinzhen's body, the autumn atmosphere was getting stronger, it was the most comfortable time of the year, she just stayed silent like this, Yinzhen turned his face to the side and kissed her on the eyes: "Nian's health is not good, don't get sick for you and the child, and tell her to stay in the yard and not move."

Zhou Ting responded in a low voice, her heart moved slightly, she grabbed his shoulders and put her lips against his chin, rubbing it up bit by bit, her tongue pressed against her thin lips, both of them were tired for a few days Use your strength to do other things, and keep your tongue in your mouth.

The sweet-scented osmanthus fell to the ground as soon as it rained, and the yard was filled with a sweet and greasy aroma, which was blown in by the night wind, and a lingering shadow was printed on the glass lamp, Yin Zhen's tongue was numb from her mouth, and his body was full of desire But it hardened, and it was bound to fall into the tent as soon as it was stretched out.
