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

Chapter 184

When the north wind blows, Beijing immediately enters winter. The winter in the north is always dry and cold. In addition to burning charcoal, you have to put a jar of water in the corner of the house to increase the humidity, otherwise the whole house will smell like fireworks. .

The halls of the lords are different, not to mention that the place is much bigger. On this day, there are special people waiting to feed the fish. The fish tank in Defei's room was brought in by Zhou Ting. There are carvings carved on the four sides of the glass. The mountains are also grass trees, and every winter they are taken out of the warehouse and placed, even Kangxi loves to come and enjoy them.

Ruizhu held the fish food in a small plate, picked it up with a silver spoon and sprinkled it on the water surface to feed. As soon as the fish food fell on the water, several koi swarmed over to fight for the food, flicking their tails so happy.Concubine De used to enjoy it every day when she had nothing to do, but today she was in no mood, she stood by the window and looked out, after a while she asked the little palace maid to wipe the window and wipe off the hoarfrost on it.

"Master, sit down at ease, the other end will be sent to the palace as soon as you have a rest." Rui Zhu handed the plate in his hand to the little palace man behind him, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and walked to Concubine De to support her Her arm: "Si Fujin's first few pregnancies were safe and sound, and this time will naturally give birth to a fat elder brother for the master."

Concubine De couldn't stop the smile on her face when she heard this: "With Hongzhao and Hongzhang, I don't have to worry about it anymore. It's good to have a boy. If it's a girl, it's as cute as Da Niu and Er Niu. It's more to my liking."

Concubine De is living very smoothly these days. She has been favored by Kangxi since she was young, and she is almost 30 years old, and she also gave birth to Yinzhen, which is the first among concubines.Now that her two sons are both accomplished, she is faintly the first among the four, that is, Concubine Tong, the prime minister's palace affairs officer, and she is very polite when seeing her now.

Not to mention, it's just winter, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent Hongluotan over early. Although I didn't dare to neglect her in the past, it is definitely not as eager as it is now, and it was a few minutes earlier than that of Tong's family. .Even the palace servants in the Yonghe Palace are more decent when they go out, and their voices are different.

Ruizhu helped Concubine De to sit on the kang, took a beauty hammer to hammer her legs, and continued to say some joyful words with her hands: "Last time, the two little princesses came to send the honey couple that the master loves." The wax bergamot is separated, and this is another small grid, the things in our temple can't stand such a change."

One sentence made Concubine De laugh, she covered her mouth with a veil, and when she smiled, fine lines appeared on the sides of her eyes: "These things I saved are not just for the younger generation, but you are poor-mouthed!" .”

As soon as the words were finished, a little eunuch rushed in from outside, with a smile on his face, he saluted neatly: "The master is very happy, Si Fujin has given birth to a little elder brother."

Rui Zhu burst out laughing with a "puchi", and begged for a reward from Concubine De with his face turned: "This time, the slave has broken his mouth, the master should reward the slave with a big red seal."

Concubine De laughed so hard that her eyes narrowed, she couldn't help being overjoyed, and ordered in a few voices: "Quickly, hurry up and report to Long Live Lord personally, and give the things you have prepared quickly, alas, this is our Sixth Elder Brother It's gone." Turning around, he nodded Ruizhu again: "Your money is indispensable, and the prepared interest money will be scattered in the palace."

Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard the news, and ordered De Concubine's favorite dishes and gave them to Yonghe Palace. At night, he came to Concubine De to chat about his children: "I said that the fourth daughter-in-law is a blessing, and she is indeed a blessing. It's the third one!"

There is no other family with three legitimate sons, so Kangxi is not partial to Yinzhen in his heart. There is no such thing in elder brother's house with three legitimate sons born from one mother.

Concubine De was happy all afternoon, but the words from Kangxi's mouth were different, she complained half-truthfully: "I like girls, look how lovely Fumin and Fuhui are." Then she said: " If it was half a day earlier, it would be the same birthday as the fourth child."

This is just in time for Qiao'er, Xiaoliu was born on the day after Yinzhen's birthday, just celebrated his birthday, and welcomed his son again, Yinzhen hugged the washed-up baby with a smile on his face, who would dislike it? There are many sons, and the eldest girl and the second girl already have the appearance of a big girl. Seeing Yinzhen hugging his younger brother, pulling Hongshi's hand and standing beside him in an orderly manner, Hongzhao pulled Hongzhang and the two to probe their brains. Take a look at the new brother.

As soon as Yinzhen put Xiaoliu into the car, Hongzhang frowned: "Why is he so red?" Then he turned to look at his sisters: "Like a monkey's butt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hongzhao slapped his forehead: "Nonsense, it doesn't look like a monkey's butt." Hongzhao looked like a big brother, frowned and looked at the little brother's face carefully with his hands behind his back, and said for a long time: "It's a little red. , that should be like a birthday peach.”

Hong Zhe clicked his tongue, shook his head and said, "Brother, the rarest man in the world, I won't call him Monkey Butt anymore, I'll call him Shou Taoer." So Xiao Liu'er's nickname was decided, Hong Shou Taoer.

Er Niu couldn't bear it for a long time, she went up and pulled one: "You two were also born red and wrinkled, so you despise him!"

Hong Zhe made a face behind the second girl's back, and stretched out his finger to poke the baby's tender face, but the older girl slapped his hands away: "He just cried so loudly, he needs to sleep well, no one is allowed to make trouble. If Fuhui makes a fuss again, she will go to play the rope, and if Hong Zhe makes a fuss, she will recite "Children's Learning Qionglin"." The little one stuck out his tongue in secret, and stood beside the car with his hands back, watching.

The next room was Zhou Ting's delivery room, and the smell of blood still lingered inside. Yinzhen left his sons and daughters behind to quarrel, and entered the delivery room alone, sat down beside Zhou Ting, and probed with his hands. On her forehead, she took the hanging towel and wiped her sweat.

Pregnant women should not blow the wind, for fear that it will be bad for the eyes, and they can’t open the windows to diffuse the smell. Each of the jadeites brought in a pot of wintersweet flowers that bloomed just right, and placed the wintersweet buds that were just folded from the backyard in the small enamel stove for smoking. room.

Zhou Ting is quite used to giving birth. After Luohong, Yinzhen didn't allow her to move at all in the next few months, and asked the people around her to watch closely. She was not even allowed to walk in the garden, only allowed to walk around in the yard. Even this year's birthday was because she was about to give birth, so she didn't do much. I just asked my brothers to have a drink, and didn't even call for a play.

Zhou Ting has not woken up yet, and the rewards from the palace over there have already been delivered to the Old Summer Palace. This time it was Wei Zhu who came. Over the past few months, his attitude towards Yinzhen has become more respectful, and he has read everything out Put the list together and put it in Yinzhen's hand: "Congratulations to Prince Yong, Long Live Lord is very happy to hear that he has added another little elder brother. I have an extra bowl of bird's nest porridge for dinner today."

Yinzhen's face was full of joy, and at this time, he didn't care about the flattery in Wei Zhu's tone, and took out a red envelope from his sleeve: "Give tea to Wenda."

Wei Zhu didn't dare to say anything, and vaguely treated Yinzhen like the original prince. He waited on Kangxi closely, and he was very clear about his physical condition.At this time in the old year, I was still wearing autumn clothes in the house because of my body, but now I have to wrap myself in a sweater that is burned inside even when I am burning charcoal indoors.

If Wei Zhu really wanted to take Qiao in front of Yinzhen before, how would he dare now, he is a long-time gangster in front of the imperial court, he usually holds it in front of others, and immediately changes his color when facing Yinzhen.

No matter how unhappy Yinzhen was, he still wanted to save face for the old man around Kangxi, and sent him back politely before going back to the house to see his younger son, just when Bing Xin, the big girl next to Big Gege, came to give the little clothes, and he was still respectful He asked: "Our master wants to come over and have a look at Fujin and the little elder brother."

Yinzhen was about to refuse after a pause, but the eldest girl had already asked Fenjing to take the clothes over: "Thank you, elder sister, for remembering, Er Niang just fell asleep, so don't worry about her, she is not in good health, In such a cold day, there is no need to ask her to go, lest she catch the cold."

Erniu turned her face away and just went to see Shou Taoer.They originally meant to be close to Da Gege, but after a few incidents, they just treated them differently, Bing Xin raised her eyes to look at Hongshi, but he was closer to Da Niu, and she frowned when she saw that Bing Xin didn't move Frowning: "This is for the good of big sister, why don't you go back."

After all, it was her own daughter, Yinzhen finally said a word: "The Ministry of Rites is already preparing a title, I ask your master to take good care of your body and don't hurt your eyes by doing needlework." This means that Da Gege is ready to marry, This time Yinzhen still chose the word "ke" for Da Gege, I only hope that she will be more sensible after she gets married.

Bing Xin lowered her head and went out, sighing in her heart, the master was thinking that Fujin would not be able to get up, and she had done the three full moon baptism ceremony for the two little princesses, and if she took over, she might not be able to win favor again.There is no hope in the marriage, even if the title is nicer, she can gain a firm foothold in her husband's family. Who knew that Er Ge Ge and San Ge Ge are so powerful, but at this age, they are much better than the master.

The three rites of baptism were taken over by the big girl and the second girl. After Hongzhe's three rites of baptism, they were guided by Jade from the side, and they quickly got started. The seats were arranged according to the distance, and there were dishes and wine , The people in the house have never been free.

Zhou Ting also sighed with Yinzhen the last time: "My daughter is grown up, so she can be useful."

"Emiang told me today that we should raise another girl. A son is enough." He had a serious face, but he pinched Zhou Tingfeng's chest with his hands: "I figured, we should have another son anyway. Only then can I give birth to a girl in my turn."

Some people are happy while others are sad. The second eldest brother in Yinhu’s mansion has been ill for several months and has not seen Da’an. Yiwei Lian Shou Taoer's Xisan came and left in a hurry, seeing the little baby's kicking legs, her heart felt sore, and she hugged her son and wept when she went back.

Hongwang looked at him from a distance and didn't dare to pass by. He pulled his sleeves and retreated back to study. Yinhu hugged his wife to comfort him: "When you grow up, your body will naturally become stronger." It's not that he doesn't envy Yinzhen's sons one after another The son was born, but he knew that he could not blame his wife for this matter. If the seedlings are not good, can they grow good seedlings?Even Hongwang, I dare not ask him to wear less clothes this day, he is afraid of heat and cold, he can't fall, his face will turn pale when he is taught to read, and when he is four years old, he can only recite the "San Zi Jing" ".

Her mouth was bitter and her heart was ruthless. Concubine Liang had been ill for a long time. Khan Ama went to see her at the first time, but she stopped after that. Didn't say Quanhe, just meant to tell him to accept his fate.He often heard these words when he was young, and the more he listened to them, the more unpleasant they became, but now he said them to arouse his blood.

Yinhu refused to admit that he was lower than other brothers in his bones. Hearing Concubine Liang's words, his heart was like being poured with hot oil and thrown into an ice hole. But it was more urgent and urgent than in the past. It couldn't be like last time, fast but not conspicuous. He didn't believe that one day, no one would dare to talk about his life experience.
