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

Chapter 63

"Our grandpa came back and said that your mansion is going to hold a poetry meeting?" Sanfujin is still close to the Nala family, and the concubines above are discussing the draft, judging which girl is better, and Sanfujin has a son and a daughter , pointing out that she couldn't get past her when she came in. Zhou Ting got the protection of Concubine De, and the two of them didn't care as much as other sisters-in-law. After inviting An, they got together to talk.

"No, I'm having a headache. I just thought that you must have done it before, so I came here to learn from you." As soon as Yinzhen came back and said it, she understood his intentions. Other brothers?I don't think it's strange in my heart, Zhou Ting thinks that Yinzhen should be like this. It's strange that Yinzhen who didn't know how to adapt, except Yinxiang didn't get along well with anyone.

Even Zhou Ting knows that being an emperor requires attention to popularity. The person in the yellow robe is the one who begged to be the emperor. Although there must be advertising and marketing in it, there are people who are willing to help. People will spit on me and say, "If he can do it, so can I." Surely there is still support from the public.

It turns out that even your own brother doesn't support you, you're still a fool, and you don't know how he became emperor in the end.Seeing Yinzhen's transformation, Zhou Ting thought she had realized it. After calculating the time, she felt that it was time for Yinzhen to become enlightened.

Hearing what he said, she started to prepare very actively, but she really didn't know what to prepare for the poetry meeting. The food and drinks were easy to handle, but what should I do with the things?In TV and movies, poets always watch snow, moon or potted flowers to compose poems. What should she prepare to be considered "vulgar"?

Sanfujin curled her lips as soon as she pulled her handkerchief. Her husband would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t hold a poetry meeting every month, and it’s hard for them to find something to write about every month. I'm going to be seen through, this time I found a new place, and it's quite noisy: "You prepare the food and drink, and you can just find two more people to serve you, there is no need to prepare anything specially."

"How can I do this? I heard people say that you have to look at something to write a poem. There are a few magnolia trees in the yard, and the pear blossoms are also blooming well." Zhou Ting really wanted to help Yinzhen do things well, eighth elder brother Half of his good reputation came from literati. He was too good at calligraphy. Kangxi especially pointed out that everyone taught him calligraphy. He worshiped half of his masters and met many literati. , Word of mouth, even ordinary people can spread seventeen or eight flowers, let alone a prince.

"If you have been careful once, you have to return to being careful." Sanfujin frowned slightly. It turned out that when the mansion was opened, there was obviously a lot of money left on the account, but no amount of money could withstand the husband's tossing about like this. What would he say in a while? A white jade basin must be lined with begonias to be included in the poem. After a while, it is said that drinking in a porcelain cup is not interesting, and crystal cups and jasper cups are expensive. You have to buy and replace some old works of celebrities. This is a real waste of money. If she hadn't been so eager, it would have been enough to toss a few times.

"But I thought, it's not very good-looking for our grandfather to be perfunctory the first time we do it. Even though I'm mentally weak now, I can't prevaricate him." Zhou Ting pinched the corner of the handkerchief and put one hand on her waist , with a gentle smile on his face, but he made up his mind in his heart that no matter how much it cost, he had to get it right.

Concubine De was not far away, so she felt at ease when she heard this, she pretended not to see her daughter-in-law talking to Sanfu Jin, and said to the Empress Dowager: "According to me, this time you should choose some blessings Yes, it’s good to spread the branches and leaves.”

Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows, she agreed with Concubine De's words, her two sons didn't have any sons yet, and she was not in a hurry, but she was a mother, so she couldn't open her mouth to her son, a daughter-in-law with two sons They are all very stupid, and if they are clever, they will have nothing to do with them, and they immediately answered: "That's right, it should be for the sake of the heirs." The two concubines looked at each other and understood each other. With that little thought, he smiled and nodded.

Concubine Tong has no son at all, what she thinks is how to quickly give birth to one by herself, the elder brother next to her has a mother who picks someone, so she won't intervene, everyone agrees, the empress dowager also nods, the royal family still has many children Multiple grandchildren are the most important thing, and it is best for every granddaughter-in-law to be like the fourth elder brother Fujin. It would be beautiful to have two children at one birth. When the old lady didn't hide anything from others, she would see Zhou Ting as soon as she glanced.

During this period, the fourth elder brother has won many compliments from Kangxi, and there are concubines De and Zhou Ting in the harem to promote him without a trace.The original fourth elder brother was thirty years younger, but he could tell from his eyes whether he was happy or not, and it didn't take long for Kangxi to praise him for his "behaviour and conduct". He is the only one among brothers besides the prince.

Everyone was just envious in their hearts, the crown prince was stable, and he had an elder brother. The other concubines and concubines really didn't have any ideas, and they got along happily, even the crown princess was very polite when she became the successor.

"If you really want to do it well, you will have to work hard in the future. Those men with screwdrivers have sharp mouths." Sanfujin also liked poetry and books before she got married, otherwise she would not have been pointed out by Kangxi to the third elder brother After they got married, the two also commented on the handwriting of poems together. She is the only wife who has a son and a daughter among her sisters-in-law, but she can't stand the toss of the third elder brother. Marriage is still holding fantasies, and after a long time, only daily necessities are left.

She opened her mouth to remind Zhou Ting: "There is no need to prepare flowers and fruits. They will look around the yard by themselves." When she said this, she lowered her voice. face.

Zhou Ting smiled at her, thinking that it doesn't have to be something expensive, as long as it is delicate, anyway, as long as it can be used as a poem or a painting, and she has to persuade Yinzhen to invite the eighth elder brother, Zhou Ting brought He glanced at Yiwei apologetically, in terms of calligraphy, there is no comparison between the eighth elder brother and Yinzhen, and the literati praised the eighth elder brother, so they should be compared.

Ba Fujin was concerned about how many of the show girls fell in his yard this time, and felt Zhou Ting's gaze turned back to her with a smile. Over there, Concubine De and Yifei had already talked about this year's show girls.

"There is nothing wrong with your family's upbringing." Concubine Rong praised the Crown Princess, everyone knew that this time the Crown Princess's younger sister was going to be the [-]th Fortune Jin, and the elder brother couldn't catch up with the Crown Prince's position in Kangxi's heart even if he flattered him.

Zhou Ting was in a daze, Xilin felt that Luo Shi came over the next day after she got the words, she asked again and again, still worried about her daughter, Zhou Ting sighed for her in her heart, but she couldn't hide it from her, and told her about several things in the palace. Said, Xilinjueluo stood there for a long time, his eyes were red.

When she entered the palace, her family warned her ten thousand times, and now she showed her appearance after entering the palace, and threw all the obedient and courteous promises to the back of her mind. There was a prince-to-be, Fujin, and two clan wives. To stir things up here, Xilinjueluo took Zhou Ting's hand and begged again and again: "It's all wrong, I just hope my sister can take care of her more, even if I put down the sign earlier, I will never say anything."

Which of the concubines in the palace is not a human being, you can tell the general idea with a glance, the little girl has lost her face, and it will be even more difficult to get married in the future. She said that her family showed her to her. Since she bumped her head, who would dare to marry her? Going to propose marriage rashly, although the four sons of the Nala family took a lot of errands from Lao Tzu, but they are all placed on one person, so how can they be precious if they are divided into four.

Every time Zhou Ting talked about her, she just laughed and didn't answer, but everyone understood it the second time. Since then, she has been skipping over her intentionally or unintentionally when citing, and Zhou Ting often borrows the words of Concubine De Sending things from the palace to this or that didn't seem to neglect her in front of outsiders, and she couldn't figure out why she didn't do a good job and didn't win the favor of her masters.

A few sisters-in-law invited An and had nowhere to go, so Zhou Ting went to Huirong's house, and sat there to kowtow melon seeds and gossip.The eighth Fujin can't show courteousness to the serious mother-in-law, and the thirteenth Fujin doesn't have a mother-in-law at all. Zhou Ting told her to relax when she got Concubine De's words, so the three of them got together.

"Fourth sister-in-law, try the pine nuts from me. I said the red pine nuts you sent last time are delicious, and our grandfather went shopping for them." Hui Rong pointed to the plate: "Take this and make pine nut rolls. Not bad."

Zhou Ting squeezed a piece in her hand and chewed it: "It's not bad, I'll try it when I go back." Seeing a plate of rose pastries on the table, she asked Hui Rong before ordering Pearl: "Take this on a plate." It was for Wanxian. As soon as Zhou Ting finished speaking, she saw Ba Fujin raised her eyebrows and squinted her eyes. Zhou Ting pushed her: "Say what you want, and act weird."

"That one of yours is really impatient." Yiwei and Zhou Ting became more and more familiar, and she didn't care about talking: "During our draft, who did you and I go to?"

She didn't have to join in, someone else would naturally join her, and that was the eight blessings that had been arranged long ago.Zhou Ting didn't say this, but she knew it in her heart. People above her were watching, and even if she didn't say it, she would murmur in her heart if she behaved poorly.

Hui Rong is more partial to Zhou Ting. Her husband has a good relationship with Zhou Ting's husband, and the two agreed to go together. Zhou Ting also helped her several times, both openly and secretly. At this time, she came out to help Zhou Ting smooth things over: "Xu Shi just came here. I feel lonely." Any girl who enters the palace is so lively, she is afraid that she will lose her future if she makes a mistake, and this niece Zhou Ting doesn't know if she is over-hearted or confused.

Just after saying a few words, Pearl came back from Qixiang Palace. She leaned close to Zhou Ting's ear, and Zhou Ting's face changed. Ba Fujin said something right. It was indeed taught by a master. Little Wanxian The girl got lost in the imperial garden!
At this time, the imperial garden is not like selling tickets in later generations, anyone who wants to enter can enter, even the concubines who live in the palace can go if they don't want to, for fear of collision.If you want to enter the garden, you have to send someone to clear the garden first to see if the emperor, empress dowager or master who is older than you is also in the garden. After a set of procedures, you can enter the garden for a while, and you can't walk too far.

All these beautiful women went to the Imperial Garden, how could she be lost?Does she really want to come to a remote place to meet Elder Brother?When entering the garden, she had to be followed by a bunch of court ladies and eunuchs, how did she avoid these disappearances!

"Didn't a bunch of people follow, why did they still disappear?" Zhou Ting sat up with her waist supported.

Hui Rong was so frightened that she hurriedly supported her: "What happened in such a hurry?" When she heard that Wan Xian had lost her, she was also taken aback.Yiwei comforted her: "Don't worry, the servant must have lost it. It's just such a big place, it can really disappear anywhere."

The two looked at each other, this girl is really not worry-free.
