Qing Chuan's favorite concubine side Fujin

Chapter 6 Returning to the capital
Zhuo Hong served as an official in Zhejiang for four years and performed well. The emperor specially ordered Zhuo Hong to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

In the 26th year of Kangxi's reign, Zhuo Hong of Guarjia's family was promoted to the second rank of household secretary.

Eunuch Zhao came to Guarjia's house early in the morning with the imperial edict and announced, "Master Shangshu, please accept the edict."

"I accept the decree, long live my emperor."

After Zhuo Hong received the imperial edict, he became polite to Eunuch Zhao, "Eunuch Zhao, it's still early. If you're not in a hurry, just stay and have a cup of tea before leaving."

"Hey, Master Shangshu, this servant cannot afford it. Now that your master has accepted the order, it is time for this servant to return to the palace to serve the emperor." Eunuch Zhao said with a smile.

"In this case, I will give Eunuch Zhao a gift." Zhuo Hong gave Eunuch Zhao a banknote and purse and sent him out of the door.

"Respectfully send off Eunuch Zhao."

Zhui Hong then went to Ama's study, and the father and son talked secretly for an hour.

In the backyard of the big house, the eldest wife Ma Jiashi and the third wife Hesheli were sitting together, drinking tea and chatting.

"Sister-in-law, now that the second brother has been promoted to the second rank and has more and more power in his hands, don't you and the eldest brother have any worries?" said the third wife, Hesheli, while eating pastries.

After hearing this, the eldest wife Ma Jiashi paused for a moment, then took a sip of tea and said: "We are all one family, what is there to worry about? Besides, the second brother is taking the path of a civil servant, and my master is taking the path of a military general. The two brothers have taken different paths, and besides, the master has inherited the title, so we have nothing to worry about."

"On the other hand, the third brother, after so many years, why has he always stayed at the fifth rank position, neither up nor down? The younger brother and sister must persuade the third brother. The two brothers in the family have been promoted to high positions, and he is lagging behind alone. It doesn’t look good.”

Facing the ridicule and rhetorical questions from the eldest wife, Ma Jiashi, the third wife, Hesheli, was angry but had no choice but to do anything.My eldest sister-in-law, Ma Jia, not only has a higher status in the family than me, but her natal family's power is also much more noble than mine. She is the legitimate daughter of a direct lineage and a branch of the family. She is powerful in the family, but her mother's family has long been blessed with five blessings. She has no power. potential.

Knowing that he would be troubled if he continued talking, he found an excuse to leave the courtyard of the big house and went back to his room to rest.

Ma Jiashi looked at the embarrassed figure of her third sibling, Hesheli, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

After a few days, Wan Yuan saw that she was bored at home, so she asked her mother to go out for fun.

Wanyuan is only five years old. In the eyes of her mother, Tong Jiashi Qingning, Wanyuan is different from her three brothers. Girls should be pampered and pampered. It is normal to be playful at a young age, but only if they stay together all the time. At home, this dynasty must be different from the Tang Dynasty in the previous life.

But even so, Wan Yuan still wanted to sneak out to play whenever she got the chance, which made Tong Jia's Qing Ning helpless.Seeing that her daughter wanted to go out, Tong Jia had no choice but to agree, but still sent a large number of servants and guards to protect her daughter's safety, and also asked her three sons to follow her.

Wanyuan's three brothers treat their only sister, which can be said to be responsive to every request, and they are full of sister control.

The younger sister wants to go out for fun, and as the older brother, she naturally has to go with her, even without Mom's request.

In this way, Wan Yuan and her three brothers, followed by the maids and guards, went out to play in a swaggering manner.

The group first went to the teahouse, where they drank tea and listened to the storyteller below.

The content of the story is nothing more than biographies of famous people, local customs and customs, and praise of the emperor's achievements.

Wan Yuan picked up the snack in front of her and took a bite, then said: "This snack is just okay, but it's far from what we have at home."

Ruixiang and Wanyuan poured a cup of tea and said with a smile: "The snacks in the teahouse cannot be compared with those at home. We only go out to see the scenery. As for tasting the delicious food, we will go back home early."

"That's not possible. I finally begged E Niang to let me go out, but I can't just go back home so quickly." Wan Yuan talked to her elder brother, not forgetting to drink tea and snacks.

Looking at Wanyuan's cute baby face, the three brothers laughed unconsciously. "Okay, okay, we finally went out. Naturally, we want to have a good time, and then go back home when we are tired." The second brother Yi Xiang said, wiping the snack residue from the corner of Wanyuan's mouth.

Jing Xiang, like Wan Yuan, said while eating snacks: "Sister, this snack is really not comparable to what we have at home. Let's eat some listening books first, and later the third brother will take you to eat something delicious."

"Third brother still understands my feelings!" Wan Yuan glanced at Jing Xiang with satisfaction and said.

Ruixiang and Yixiang beside them just smiled and said nothing. They were their youngest siblings, and they were twins.

After a few people listened to the book for a while and saw that it was not much fun, they paid for the tea, left the teahouse and walked on the street to read and play.

"Third brother, I want that candied haws."

"Okay, buy it."

"That lantern is beautiful."

"purchase."

"This kitten is so cute, I want it."

"purchase."

Along the way, Wanyuan took a fancy to something, and Jingxiang bought it as a gift to his sister. Among the three brothers, he was the one who liked business the most and was the richest. Wanyuan's small amount of money meant a lot to Jingxiang. Nothing.

As long as the younger sister is happy, the older brother can do whatever he wants.

Wan Yuan and her party walked around again and again, buying and selling, until they finally returned home.

Wanyuan got on the carriage and leaned directly on her eldest brother Ruixiang's shoulder, "I'm so tired. I've been walking for a day and my feet are sore."

Yi Xiang and Jing Xiang both stretched out their hands to massage their sister's legs, "You are just playful. I told you to take a break and go shopping again, but you didn't listen."

"That's right, Wanyuan, you are young and have weak bones. It's strange that your legs are not sore after walking for such a long time."

"Okay, you two massage Wanyuan's legs to help her relax. Wanyuan, go to sleep. I won't wake you up until my brothers arrive." Ruixiang said, holding Wanyuan's shoulders.

"Okay, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, then I will take a nap first, and you will wake me up when I get there." As soon as Wan Yuan finished speaking, she closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

After Yi Xiang and Jing Xiang massaged Wan Yuan's legs for a while, they sat quietly. For a while, the carriage became quiet except for the sound of gently turning the pages of books.

Soon, the carriage returned to Guarjia's Mansion. Ruixiang did not wake up Wanyuan, but carried Wanyuan out of the carriage and sent Wanyuan back to her room to rest.

The three brothers informed E Niang about the situation of leaving the house today, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Tong Jia's Qing Ning came to her daughter's room in person. After seeing her daughter sleeping soundly in front of her, she left the boudoir with peace of mind and returned to her yard to busy herself with the housework at home.

Now that the family has returned to live in the capital, matters such as family expenses must be carefully planned.
