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

Chapter 182

Yinzhen went to the empress dowager to tell Zhou Ting on leave. The empress dowager was still lying on the bed, and she was speaking to the empresses. Concubine Tong always wanted to get close to Yinzhen. Although the Tong family didn't change their mind immediately , but it also showed a bit of relief. She was worried that she would not have a chance to get close, but now she heard that there was nothing wrong with it.

Concubine De sat behind the screen and became anxious when she heard it. However, there were so many people around, she couldn't ask too many details. She heard that there was no serious problem, so she didn't worry. After buying a lot of medicinal materials, she sighed in front of the concubines and princes Fujin: "She is pregnant and can't bear the hardships. I often tell her to rest, but she just refuses, all because of filial piety."

Concubine Tong took up the conversation: "It's time to tell her to take a good rest. It's a great contribution to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family." She gave the big maid beside her a wink: "I have Guanyin who I begged for in the early years. Let her go." Concubine De is Zhou Ting's serious mother-in-law, and she bestowed things on her, so Concubine Tong could open her mouth.

When the things were delivered to the Yuanmingyuan, Zhou Ting ordered the jadeite to be registered and made. Only then did I see the palm-high ivory Guanyin. This size is not new. Presenting Guanyin to the Son, she held a lotus leaf in her hand, and a baby's foot protruded from the curly leaf.

Zhou Ting fell in love with it at the first sight, and asked Shan Shan to find a sandalwood base and put it on the ancient shelf, with the landscape sent by the Fucha family next to it.

Bonsai, when Yinzhen came in from the outside, she was lazily leaning on the big welcome pillow facing the window to bask in the sun, Bai Tang Cake was sitting beside her playing with Hongzhao's old toys.

Seeing that she was still sleepy, Yinzhen's complexion had improved a lot, and a smile appeared on her lips. The imperial doctor said she was tired, so she felt guilty for not trying to excuse her to take a good rest earlier, and stretched out her hand to stroke her. She wiped the broken hair on her forehead: "It's better to have a good life. It turns out that the illness has completely ruined the foundation. You are not allowed to work hard anymore. If there is anything else, just ask the subordinates to take care of it."

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, how can I let go, I'm just talking." Zhou Ting put the willow green hibiscus on her body: "I thought you were busy with Ama in the front, but I also did it in the back." So I can take care of you, now you only have to go to Er Niang's place twice more, just say that Er Niang is worried about me."

Yinzhen sighed in a rare way: "I didn't want you to work too hard, but there is no one in the family who can take your place." As soon as the words fell, Zhou Ting frowned thinly, and snorted: " Bringing in more talents is more work."

Yinzhen seldom saw her like this, so he laughed and said, "That's what I mean, just wait until the big girl and the second girl can manage things, or Hongshi Hongzhao gets married, there will always be someone who can help you."

Zhou Ting pursed her lips, almost smiling, and turned around with a serious face, and she turned around when Yinzhen helped her shoulders: "I'm just annoying, who told you to provoke me?" Me!" As he spoke, he pursed his mouth and tapped the letter on the Kang table with his chin.

Yinzhen took it over and lit the bright seal, and frowned when he saw the year on it: "Why, I ignored him, and just connected the relationship to you?"

Zhou Ting glanced at him sideways: "Just look at what is written on it, it is leaving the palace as a serious relative." The Nian family is just a side room in the mansion, and it may be half of it in the fifth elder brother's house She's home, but with Zhou Ting, she's worse than a little princess.

Mrs. Song has been staying in the house since Mrs. Li's funeral. When the whole family moved to the Old Summer Palace and left those concubines in the mansion, it was not her turn to do things like needlework.Not to mention the little princesses, without the favor, life is comfortable anyway.

What about Nianshi?Just assign her to Zhuangzi, and send someone to watch closely, and never let her move a single step, and she has no part in the New Year's greetings.The Nian's family brought the four-season gift on time, and Zhou Ting also asked someone to send it, but she couldn't send it back if she wanted to. Except for Zhou Ting, no woman in the whole family was qualified to visit relatives seriously.

When the letter was handed to Zhou Ting, Fei Cui spat, "What kind of relatives really think of themselves as the person on the memorial tablet." Showing it to Yin Zhen, He Nian didn't have any good luck, and it happened when both of them were most disturbed.

The letter was written by Nian Gengyao's stepwife Su, and it was written to Zhou Ting, but it mentioned Nian's affairs, and wrote a page in a secretive way, then asked if Nian could come to visit her. .

"Nian Gengyao can't stay in Sichuan any longer. After thinking about it, our relationship is normal." Yinzhen casually put the letter paper on the table. In the previous life, he was in the court to help Nian Gengyao and the governor of Sichuan. To deal with it, Yin Tai also dared to make a big move, seeing that Yinzhen didn't take care of him this time, and he looked like he was proud of his talents, and he didn't punish him or anyone else.

No matter how old the official is, he has already become an official. People leave tea, and no matter how old the disciples are, no matter how high-ranking officials are, they can't reach into Sichuan. Originally, they wanted to ask their son to go to explore the way, but now they almost lose their lives. .The fourth elder brother didn't look at it at first, but in the past few years, he has become a dark horse in the competition for the throne once or twice. If he doesn't come here at this time, is he really waiting for a crony relative in the future?

No matter what the Nian family thinks, Yinzhen has no intention of arguing with the Nian family here: "When I send a letter to Sichuan, I will reprimand him. He is not under my banner, but he was separated from the elder brother. When something happened, he remembered and asked me to clean it up for him."

Since sending the letter had to go through various post stations, the Nian family lost most of China's face. Zhou Ting was about to tell him to stay on the front line when he saw that Bai Tang Cake tore up the letter sent by Su Shi.

White Sugar Cake usually reads the words on the wooden sign. The large print book is not as beautiful as sprinkled gold paper, because it was sent to Zhou Ting, and the taste was specially adjusted. It took Jade to open it and blow it for half a day before it dared to deliver it to Zhou Ting. In front of Ting.He was curious to see the piece of paper glittering under the sun, so he stretched out his hand to grab the letter paper, and used his small hand to pick out the gold powder embedded in the paper, and when he applied force from both sides, the gold sprinkled paper was torn in half. He also laughed foolishly because of the sound of tearing paper.

Yinzhen was overjoyed, picked up the sugar cake and took a sip, and said to Zhou Ting: "It is said that my daughter is caring, and our sugar cake is not bad. Your mother is annoying, so you just tore it up?"

It made Zhou Ting want to have fun but also wanted to teach Hongzhang a lesson, she nodded his nose: "You are not allowed to scouring like this, and if you tear things up again, you will not be allowed to go to Ama's study." Yinzhen's study is separated by a main room. Gao walked over, and Yinzhen looked so smiling again, he wasn't afraid at all, but he responded honestly: "I'm good, I won't tear up Ama's official documents."

Seeing his blinking round eyes, Zhou Ting couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. She opened her hand and hugged the sugar cake, pinched his little nose and twisted it gently: "Smart ghost."

Yinzhen was afraid that the white sugar cake would press Zhou Ting's stomach, so he was hugged by him as soon as he hugged her. The gossip was over and it was business. Although Kangxi was ill, the country was still running, and the marriage of the clan's daughter was left by the clan's house early on. Get ready, and when it's time, put up the booklet and let Kangxi point out a relative.

"There is also a letter from Fuya. It seems that it means to marry to Horqin. The clan mansion reported it, but it has not been handed over to the Khan Ama case." Since Yinzhen is assisting in palace affairs, these matters are just He couldn't get around him, not to mention that he was in the midst of the holy will, and the sycophant would seize the opportunity to curry favor with him. As soon as the Da Gege sealed the letter, he immediately came to him.

Zhou Ting paused for a while when she heard Da Gege's name. She really didn't think of this concubine for a long time. Three meals, four seasons and clothes were delivered according to the order. At the beginning, some maids heard her sigh and sigh, Sighing at the boxing gift from the person who was originally engaged to be married, she gradually disappeared. Except for the New Year's Eve when she appeared on the table, it seemed that she was no longer in the yard.

"She used to make an engagement once, and even though she returned it, it was recorded on the certificate of the clan's mansion," Zhou Ting said with a faint smile on her face, "Gege and others will marry to the grassland and settle in Beijing with the dowry." The ones prepared are different, I will ask someone to mention it at the other end of the clan mansion, don’t tell them to forget about this, but send over what was originally prepared, it’s inappropriate on both sides.”

There is a rule for the ancestral daughter to ask for the title. The prince's concubine's daughter is the county monarch, and only the prostitute's daughter can invite the title of the princess.In Yinzhen's previous life, there was only Da Gege, a daughter who grew up to be married, and it was not enough to love her in every way on weekdays. When she got married, Doro Gege, who was granted by the clan's family as a rule, made him feel inferior. She asked for a seal, and she was treated like a concubine's daughter in everything, which caught the officials of the clan's mansion by surprise, and it took five months for those who rushed in and out to make another dowry according to Heshuo Gege's example.

Now Yinzhen doesn't want to give Da Gege this dignity anymore, let alone those trivial things in her daily life, mentioning her, how to deal with the big girl and the second girl, and when they get married, their titles can still be the same as those of the concubine sister.Not to mention Yinzhen's unwillingness in his heart, but if the subordinates want to please him, if there is a concubine in the front, they can't mess with the concubines, and put a concubine's daughter on the seat of the concubine's daughter.

Yinzhen rubbed Zhou Ting's hand: "It's still your thoughtfulness, she is going to get married after all, just go out and go out." No matter how disappointed she is with Da Gege, she is still her own daughter, and now she is about to marry, Yinzhen still treats her favorably What she meant, Zhou Ting squinted at him: "Could it be that I was mean to her? How many years have she saved those things? I hope you remember that she won't be married for another five years."

Zhou Ting didn't think about leaving the things that Mrs. Li had saved before her death to Hongshi. She originally planned to share half of Da Gege with Hongyun, but now Hongyun's share also belongs to her. It's not easy for her to marry into the grassland. It's not easy to give it all to her. Just ask her to pack it up and take it away. Ashes return to ashes, and there will be no trace of Li's family in this family from now on.

"I don't know about you. You have never treated her badly. You are just counting the days. When you are in confinement, Fuya will get married. I'm afraid you will be in a hurry." Zhou Ting didn't try to expose his rhetoric. Getting married was one of her worries, and the children in the family no longer had any unstable factors.Hearing him say this, he smiled and said: "Everything is the clan's house, we just add an extra dowry, and when the time comes to send the marriage and send a few reliable followers, that's all."

Just talking about the marriage of the children, someone came from the palace to announce it. When Yinzhen heard that Wei Zhu had come in person, he hurriedly adjusted his clothes and went to the main hall to see him not sitting drinking tea but standing and pacing. Frowning to ask, Wei Zhu slapped him a thousand times: "Long live Lord, I want to see you."

Just as Yinzhen was about to reach out to help, Wei Zhu moved his lips without a trace: "Long live today, he vomited blood again."

Yinzhen also said in his mouth: "You don't need to be polite." His thoughts turned like electricity, and he understood Wei Zhu's meaning all at once. Dazhi, I am worried about Khan Amma's illness, so it's fine to tell me specifically, but I can't say these things in the future."

Wei Zhu can be regarded as someone who can be used in front of Kangxi. He just wants to sell Yinzhen well. Seeing how he deals with it like a mirror in his heart, he is stable like this. No wonder Long Live Lord revealed such meaning and laughed. With a smile, he put this matter to the past: "Prince Yong, please, don't make the Long Live Lord wait for a long time." It's all right, no matter what the other party thinks in his heart, he must accept his affection.

Yinzhen really hated this in his heart, he knew that Kangxi still had ten years to live, but this servant who saw the old emperor was not good, and was trying to flirt with the new forces, which made him sick.The Nian family was like this, and so were his personal servants. No matter how much he wanted to be the emperor, he definitely had no intention of wishing for Kangxi to die early, but in the mouths of these people, maybe he wished for this in his heart.

When we arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he was the only one there. Tong Guowei didn’t see him, so it’s fine, but even Yinhu didn’t see him. Kangxi was sitting on the bed, his body was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, and a charcoal pot was burning in the room. Kang, he was wearing a mink wool blouse. Although he was thin, he was in good spirits, unlike Wei Zhu who just vomited blood.

Yinzhen couldn't hold back, went forward and tucked the quilt for Kangxi after the ceremony, and waited for Kangxi to speak, but he turned the pages of the book and didn't look up for a long time, Yinzhen stood at first, then saw that Kangxi was fascinated by reading, so he thought for him Add warm water again, and add charcoal to the charcoal basin again.

Of course he couldn't hide his back and forth from Kangxi, although his eyes were fixed on the book, his ears followed Yinzhen's footsteps back and forth, and when Yinzhen added another fragrant cake to him, the little eunuch brought him a clean towel After wiping his hands, Kangxi cleared his throat with a cough, and for the first time he looked so softly at Yinzhen: "Come and sit."

When Yinzhen was still with Empress Xiaoyi, he had never been treated like this. At that time, Kangxi was full of eyes and only had one prince, and his little achievements could get Kangxi's greatest affirmation. The younger brothers in the back row Which one can go past him.

Yinzhen sat down as promised, Kangxi handed over the book in his hand, Yinzhen took it and glanced at it and knew it was "Historical Records", and said in his mouth: "Khan Ama is good at raising a talent, reading these consumes energy. "

Kangxi waved his hand: "Since literacy, when I can't get away from books, I just ask you to read the book for me." He pointed his finger at the opened page: "Just continue from here. Read on."
