Hou Kun

Chapter 42
Guanglu shook his head, "Not good." What's wrong, she has to figure it out for herself, "Your Majesty has always wanted to have a child, but there is no news about it... You will know about these things when you enter the palace in the future... "

Shu Lan's family has always been looking forward to her having a child. If the first child is born, the queen's position will be stable.But she had no good news after entering the palace, and now that she has a rival like Concubine He Gui, she thought of Su Ge.

If it was before, she would not have dared to think about it. Ever since Suge Ama was demoted, she has been thinking about putting Suge in the palace.Guanglu felt that her thoughts were a bit selfish, wouldn't this ruin that woman's life?Su Ge knew, would she still help her?

But Shu Lan was very firm. She thought that Su Ge's confidence in being unwilling to be a concubine or concubine in the past was supported by Yabu, the first-class prince, and now Yabu was relegated to the bitter cold place of Khalkha. , calling her back to the capital to become a concubine, she naturally has nothing to be unhappy about.

Women in the palace, if they are not favored, they must find a helper to deal with the one who is favored.She has Suge by her side, and she joins forces to deal with a noble concubine, so she can just settle down and seek a child.She told Guanglu that Suge was soft-hearted, and if she begged her hard, she would definitely agree.

Guanglu didn't care much about women's affairs, so he promised her to bring Suge back to Khalkha this time.

When Suge came out, the setting sun was gradually sinking to the west.He Ang led the way out, not the way back.After going around in a long circle along the Chaoshou veranda, I went out of the Moon Cave Gate and turned to the outside of the parapet opposite Jingchunzhai.

It's not the season, there are only dead branches climbing on the top of the parapet wall, and the hanging branches are stretched out, like freehand pens and inks poking at the edge of the plow, hanging on the wall without any rules, but it is beautiful in winter.Presumably in spring, here is another scene: all kinds of flowers are in full bloom on the wall, with thousands of pistils, and the lively flowers are competing for spring, and thousands of flowers are competing for beauty.Suge couldn't help sighing, after all, it was a place of wealth and honor.

The days are short in winter, and after such a long time, the old man is about to fall into the west.The setting sun inch by inch climbed up and down with the female wall, chasing them, fast and slow for a while, protruding over their shoulders, making the shadows thinner and longer.

When they got home, Dongzhu and the others hadn’t come back yet, so Suge went to the room to talk to his wife, only saying that there were too many people and Dongzhu and the others got separated, so she went to the Town God’s Temple to enshrine the copied scriptures, and she would come back in a few days. Send someone to take it back and burn it when worshiping the ancestors.Seeing that she looked quite tired, she thought it was because she was tired from playing this trip, so the wife didn't say much, and sent them to rest by themselves.

The days under the New Year's Eve go by quickly.If Rong's mansion is not counted as Yabu, the grade is not high. Beijing's third-rank and fourth-rank are all over the streets. They can only count together with the common people, but after all, the family has accumulated for many generations, and the wealth is not comparable to those poor Beijing officials.People really are, the more they are like this, the more particular they are.If the official rank is bad, but the rules are better, you have to get back your face, so that you can feel at ease.

There are many rules in the mansion, and they are very particular. When it comes to the twelfth lunar month, everyone is busy up and down, but it is also festive and lively.At home, cobwebs need to be twisted, dust should be removed, the place that should be brushed should be brushed, and what should be washed should be washed.The kitchen is the busiest, all kinds of chickens, ducks and fishes are sent in during the new year, as well as the Stove Lord, who prepares steamed buns and deep-fried donuts. ready.

The atmosphere of New Year’s Eve is the strongest on New Year’s Eve. When I got up early in the morning, Suge sent someone to fetch the enshrined scriptures, and prepared to burn them when worshiping the ancestors in the early morning of the Lunar New Year; In the morning, I went to say hello to the wives. The whole house was full of joy, and the sisters wrapped around the back of the green gauze cabinet, gossiping;After dinner, I went out to watch the New Year. It was dark early, and the snow and small hail were silently rushing to the New Year's Eve in the night. The northwest wind was blowing, and after a while, the roofs of the houses were all gray.

Banner people have rules, children should follow the adults to watch the age, so as to extend the longevity of the elders.Suge wiped the cards with him for a while, then got off the table to talk to his wife.When it was almost midnight, Hengchang and Xiliang couldn't bear it any longer, and took the boys to the front yard to set off fireworks.Suge went out with his wife and aunts to watch the fun. The fireworks went up and exploded in the sky with a bang. Looking up, the sky was covered with snow and goose feathers. Against the backdrop of the red, yellow, orange and purple fireworks, it illuminated the world of mortals.

During the New Year's Eve, the firecrackers are all over the city, and it is better to compare who's playing the loudest and longest, in order to have a long and lasting auspiciousness.Yizhu was coquettish, but she didn't want to miss the excitement, so she hid in her Enie's arms and covered her ears. Dongzhu and Ailanzhu were dressed in brocade, fearing that sparks would burn their gowns, so they hid behind the window and looked at Suge. For a city of fireworks, he prayed nine times together, which is considered to be a kowtow to Amaene and grandma.

The ancestors were sacrificed on the first day of the lunar new year. In the next few days, there are no strict rules during the New Year's Eve. They can play later at night, and the wife spared them little greetings.Su Ge loves to sleep late, and now she sleeps until dawn every day.Yi Mo came to wake her up, and she covered herself with a quilt, pleaded pitifully, she couldn't say that the tenth day of the lunar new year can be regardless of size, and there is no need to set rules. If you can't live the days of lying in bed, just let her go for a few days.

Yimo had nothing to do with her, except for his wife, everyone else in Rongfu didn't care, so she let her go.

Suge's good days came to an end early in the morning of the sixth day.Early in the morning, four exquisite nuns from the Shangyi Bureau in the palace came to pay her respects. She was sleeping so darkly that she forgot to wake her up.

It turned out that during this period of time, it was not that Guanglu had forgotten, but that she was allowed to live a relaxed and prosperous year.After breaking five, it's time for her to learn the rules.

In winter, with a water bowl on her head and two more on her shoulders, she walked back and forth in the yard.This is the way of training maids in the palace. When they walk, they should keep their backs straight, and they should look serene and calm, even if they throw firecrackers behind them, they should not be in a hurry.

When Suge was at home, she saw that her mother had practiced her in the same way, but it was just for show.Not now, the four fine nuns have piercing eyes, one looks at her uneven shoulders, the other looks at her uneven gait, saying it is uneven in length, the other two do not complain about her faults, but one lets her walk back and forth across the threshold, The last one is to ask her to speak in a calm voice when she walks with the bowl on her head, so that her breath will be even and will not be out of breath after practicing this way.

On the first day, Suge walked back and forth in the yard a hundred times, and crossed the threshold two hundred times—the yard is small, and he had to turn around in twenty steps, and had to cross two thresholds in forty steps.I still have to babble.What can I say?

Anyway, Jing Qi's grandma listened to the cadence and rhythm of her mouth, and the rhythm was very good.

Yimo leaned over from the courtyard gate and listened for a while, and the girls kept talking, "The bright moon pretends to be a ghost to scare the birds, and the breeze sends cicadas at the entrance. The monks in the temple say that they eat meat, which scares the old people to death."

At the back, the girl couldn't take it anymore, and she began to say mercilessly, "Master, look at you, looking at the jade tree facing the wind, you are suave, but who knows that you are born to be a cucumber, so you don't want to shoot! You said you were playing a child Grandma doesn’t hurt, uncle doesn’t love, that’s not enough for a wasp’s tail, it’s a woman’s heart! It’s so poisonous! Don’t you know, I hate vermin the most, one day I will slap you against the wall, If you can't pick it off, don't blame me!"
