Chapter 32 Decision
Mrs. Li walked up with a smile on her face, the child in her arms was wrapped in silk and satin, she was fat and white, and she was looking around with her black eyes rolling. "Xiaowei, this is our third elder brother. He will be one year old in February, and he is the one who loves me the most." I was stunned, but I didn't expect that it was Niu Hulu who spoke, and I couldn't help turning my head slightly to look at him. She, seeing the smile on her face, no longer had the slightest indifference just now.I didn't have time to think about it, so I just turned my head and smiled and said to Li Shi: "What a blessed child." Li touched the child's face with a smile on his face, then raised his eyes and smiled at me: "Xiaowei, you hug me!" hug."

"Ah." I paused, and smiled dryly, "I've never hugged the child, I'm afraid I'll hurt him..." Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Li smiled and handed the child over: "Sooner or later you will be If you want to hug, let's practice today, besides, this child is not so delicate."

In fact, in the twentieth century, I don't know how many times I have hugged the child, and I don't know how many relatives and friends, but I have some instinctive resistance to Li's child in my heart, and I don't want to cause any trouble for nothing.During the words, the child was stuffed into my arms, and I took it over in a hurry, adjusted my posture, and then lowered my head to look at the child carefully.His face is like a full moon, his complexion is fair, and his facial outline looks like Mrs. Li's, but his pair of jet-black eyes are very similar to the fourth master. He is staring at me curiously, and he grabbed my flag with one hand and played around, looking at the I couldn't help but feel a little dazed with my eyes, but then I thought about the fate of this child, and my heart turned cold...

"Xiaowei?" Shi Li touched me lightly. "Ah." I trembled and looked up, and Li and Niu Hulu were looking at me strangely: "What's the matter, I'm in a daze, what are you thinking?" Seeing me looking at her, Li asked with a smile I.I made up my mind secretly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think this child is really nice, fragrant and soft like a snack."

"Hehe." Mrs. Li and the others all laughed, "If you like it so much, then hurry up and give birth to a child for the Thirteenth Master. Isn't there an old saying, 'There are three ways to be unfilial, and the greatest is to have no offspring'." I blushed, "ha ha" smirked twice, and covered the topic.Niu Hulu was also laughing, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Hey, why is it so lively here?" A charming voice came, and everyone stopped laughing, and immediately became quiet.I turned around and saw that Nian was holding the little girl's hand and walking over slowly.Mrs. Li handed the child back to the nanny, and said with a smile, "Sister, why are you here? It's windy today, and you are heavy. Be careful of the wind."

"Thank you, sister, for your concern. My little elder brother is young and I'm afraid he can't stand the wind. It's better not to walk around." Nian Shi came up, stood still, and said to Li Shi with a half-smile on his face.Mrs. Li's face hardened, and she laughed again in a blink of an eye: "My sister said, it's from the Liu family, you take the little elder brother back to the house, and be careful." , Mrs. Niu Hulu and I looked at each other, and we both heard what Mrs. Nian was saying. It was nothing more than mocking Mrs. Li for showing off when she had a son. In fact, she was not the same, walking around with a half-finished product.I pursed my lips and turned my eyes to look at the weeping willow beside me. At this time, I just need to pretend to be stupid.

"Cian Fujin, what brought you here today?" I paused, turned my head, and saw Nian Shi was staring at me. I was about to smile politely, but when I glanced away, I saw that she had raised her eyebrows. Stunned, his brows furrowed unconsciously.When Nian saw my eyes on her stomach, he laughed, squeezed her waist deliberately, and said to me: "This body is really sore, you will know when you have a body." I smiled lightly Smiling: "Really?" After speaking, she took a step forward and said clearly, "The concubine De concubine told you to take a good rest, you are heavy, so you don't need to hold on to those empty rituals before giving birth, and go to the palace to greet her. Nian was taken aback, and bent over to salute in a hurry: "The concubine knows, and the empress is worried about it. Please let Fujin thank you on my behalf." I saw her bending over hard, and I really wanted to make her feel bad for a while. , But in the end I couldn't do such a thing, I just said softly: "Your Majesty ordered, you don't have to be polite." There is no status in front of her. Now her son Concubine De is asking about her daily life. It is a great honor for her. Jealousy.

I suddenly understood why Li Shi was favored in front of Concubine De, not only because of her beauty, but also because she gave birth to a son for Fourth Master.Even in modern times, some people go bankrupt because they want a son, not to mention in the ancient times when men were superior to women, a woman who did not have a son might have no value at all. I have never felt this problem so deeply before, and I can’t help thinking If I didn't have a son, then Yinxiang... couldn't help frowning.

"What are you thinking about?" Nian's shrill voice startled me, and I raised my eyes to see her complacent expression, "Your complexion is not good, just tell me what's wrong, everyone Talking, it's more boring in my heart..." Listening to her chatter, an indescribable boredom surfaced in my heart, and I interrupted her indifferently: "It's nothing, please let Fujin rest more. Talking too much will hurt your body." Nian's face turned pale, his chest heaved up and down, but he couldn't say a word.A look of relief flashed in the eyes of Li Shi on the side, but there was still a concerned expression on his face: "In this case, sister, go back and rest, you are precious now, and we are here." After speaking, he turned his head and asked with a smile Mrs. Niu Hulu and I said, "Why don't you invite my sister to sit in Jiangxuexuan. First, Fujin hasn't come back yet; second, it's rare for my sister to come, so I need to sit more." Mrs. Li took care of Mrs. Nian again, and then led me to the garden. Mrs. Niu Hulu has always been reticent, so she followed us silently, obviously polite, but secretly He left Nianshi there alone.Nian Shi has long disliked me, in her heart there is no difference between whether I treat her well or not, respect or disrespect, so she doesn't really care if I offend her again, but Li Shi's behavior is a bit out of my reach expected.Hearing Li and Niu Hulu's gossip in his ears, he also secretly reminded himself that he must never become a woman like them. I always feel that life is awkward these days. I can't wash it...

"Xiaowei." Niu Hulu called me.

"what?"

Niu Hulu looked at me in a daze, and couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling: "What are you thinking, I always see you like this, you are here, but Hun'er has flown to nowhere." Speaking, Li smiled: "That's no need to ask, it must have flown to Lord Thirteen." Everyone around laughed.I just didn't know what to say, a little girl walked over quickly from the Moon Gate, saluted us, stepped forward and whispered a few words in Mrs. Li's ear, and then backed away off the side.Mrs. Li turned her head and smiled at me, "Sister, let me take a step back. There is something wrong with my brother, I have to go and have a look." head, and said to Niu Hulu: "Then sister, you can stay with me, it's dinner..." Niu Hulu smiled gently: "There is me, you go quickly." Li nodded to me again, took the Follow the girls and leave.

Mrs. Niu Hulu took me into the Xuexue Pavilion. The maids served tea and brought some fruits, and we chatted, and we couldn't say anything important, just chatting casually, nothing more than some Clothing, grooming, embroidery, food and so on, I feel relaxed in my heart.After a while, Mrs. Niu Hulu was going to see Gu Wanshan. After all, I came here on behalf of Concubine De, so I couldn't do it carelessly, so she went first.I had nothing to do at the moment, but I just ordered the maids to take the things I brought, tidy them up and put them here before we can leave. I went for a walk in the garden alone, and declined those girls who wanted to accompany me.I didn't see anything last time, and I didn't bother to look at it. Now that I have time to look carefully, I found that the Lama Temple at this time is very different from the modern one. It is different from the modern solemn temple, but more Somewhat bright and soft.

I didn’t know the road well, so I didn’t dare to wander around. I went back after wandering for a while. I just stopped from time to time to look at the exotic flowers and plants around me. When I arrived at the gate of the Xuexue Pavilion, there was no one inside. It seemed that they had finished cleaning up. They all retreated, only a little eunuch was guarding outside.I walked past him, and he didn't see me until he got close. He couldn't help being startled. I just wanted to say hello, but I waved my hand to stop him.I was about to go in, when a figure flashed inside, I stopped in my tracks, and looked inside, there was a girl arranging the snack boxes on the table.I didn't take it seriously either, and walked in, the bottom of the flowerpot stepped on the green brick floor, and there was a "click", "Ah!" She was startled, and turned around to look at me like a lightning strike. My hands were clenched so tightly that I was taken aback. I suddenly stopped and looked at her, "What's wrong?" I asked her.Her face was pale, and she obviously forced herself to calm down, and leaned down to me, Fu: "Slave please send blessings to Fujin."

"Well, get up." I raised my hand, but I felt weird in my heart, she still looked at her when she saw me, and smiled: "Just now I suddenly heard Fujin's footsteps and startled the maidservant."

"Oh." I nodded, "What's the matter, it's worth your surprise." I walked over with a smile, and suddenly saw a row of books on the shelf next to it, so I walked over. "Fu Jin." The little girl's voice came from behind. "Huh?" I responded casually, and actually saw "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the bookshelf. I was so excited that I was so busy that I took it out to read. "Just now you ordered these things to be sorted out, and now..."

"Understood, let's divide according to what I said just now. Just keep the share for Fujin, and I will deliver it myself." I turned my head and smiled at her, then turned back to read my book. "Yes, servant girl knows." I heard in my ears that she went out and called someone to come in and take away the things, but she didn't take it to heart.I don't know how long I watched it, I felt a little thirsty, so I walked to the table, just about to pick up the teacup to drink tea, but I saw some white things on the side of the snack box from the corner of my eyes, I couldn't help being stunned, lowered my head and squinted Look, it's some powder. I picked it up with my fingers, but I couldn't feel what it was, and it didn't taste like smell.Just as I was about to ask someone to come in and ask, the house on the west suddenly became full of voices. I was taken aback, and went to the door to look around, but I couldn’t see anything, only the two maids guarding the door bent over to me. salute. "Whose place is that?" I asked a girl who seemed very clever.She replied respectfully: "Fujin, that's Erfujin's Jade Garden." I nodded, it turned out to be Li's house, I waved them back to their original places, and I walked back.When I got to the table, I suddenly thought of that girl just now, and I was taken aback. Could it be... No way, who would be so stupid to do such a thing with the things that Defei rewarded... I clenched the book in my hand, slowly sat down on the chair.

Countless cold sweats broke out, and the close-fitting shirt was stuck to my body. My heart was beating violently, but the thoughts in my mind were spinning wildly like a windmill in a seventh-level wind.It's fine if I guess wrong, but if I guess right... I just feel goosebumps all over my body.Those who framed me probably wouldn't do anything cruel, they just wanted to throw some dirty water on me. After all, everything was rewarded from Concubine De. If you want to use my hand to get rid of the little elder brother, then... think about it carefully, Hongshi in history was bestowed to death by Emperor Yongzheng, and 24 years old is not considered a premature death anyway. Thinking of this, I feel a little more at ease Some.I forced myself to calm down, and sat quietly on the chair and waited. If it was true as I guessed, then they would definitely... After a while, and it seemed like a long time later, the loud voices came towards me Coming, I couldn't help grinning wryly, I didn't know whether to laugh at my luck or cry about my bad luck...

Turning to look at the snacks on the table, I reached out to pick up a piece, and looked at it in front of my eyes. The voices were getting closer and closer. I thought in my heart that if I just wanted to harm the children, I should not put too much poison... ...I gritted my teeth and bet... I bit down half of it and chewed it in my mouth. In a devil's dictionary, it was written: "You have to eat something even though you know it's poisonous. This is called helplessness..." Suddenly I want to cry...

Just barely swallowing the half of the mouth, the door was pushed open with a "clang" sound. Although I was mentally prepared, I was still taken aback. I turned my head and saw that Nian was standing majestically. At the door, I was just a little puzzled in my heart, why is she so energetic, even if there are two pregnant women, it is too... The people behind her have different expressions, joyful, proud, jealous, worried, indifferent Yes, all kinds of expressions fluttered on everyone's faces for a while, but after seeing my mouth full of snacks, they all turned into one expression - dumbfounded... I patted the corner of my mouth, stood up and asked with a smile People like wooden sculptures and clay sculptures: "Is something wrong?"...

In a blink of an eye, it’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. I just thought that the pace of life in the 21st century is very fast. I didn’t expect that since I got married, there will be crowds and conspiracies. I dodge left and right with my armor on. Yu, the days passed quickly.In the past, I always felt that the lives of ancient women were so boring. How did they survive the long days? Only now did I find out in the depths that there were so many "fun" for them to entertain.

"Master." "Huh?" I turned around, and Xiaotao came over with a bowl of almond cheese, "You are sitting here again and blowing the air. Although it is hot, what should you do if you get cold, and your health is not good. ..." The girl muttered softly.I smiled, and retreated from the window to the side of the couch obediently. Seeing that I was so obedient, Xiaotao also smiled, handed over the bowl and spoon, and I slowly put it into my mouth to eat.Xiaotao on the side chattered casually about the affairs of the house, and some gossip outside. I listened absent-mindedly, and occasionally answered a sentence or two...

"I heard that Sanbian Fujin in Siye's mansion gave birth prematurely. She gave birth to a little Gege just seven months ago..." I was stunned, and bit the porcelain spoon. Brow, did Nian give birth prematurely... Xiaotao lowered her head and tidied up the letters and books on my desk. With a pensive look on my face, I shut my mouth cleverly and backed out quietly.

I unconsciously stirred in the bowl with a porcelain spoon, but I couldn't help but think of what happened two months ago... Nian and the others saw that my mouth was full of dim sum, and they couldn't say anything for a while, but each was surprised Looking at me uncertainly, just when everyone didn't know what to do, Mrs. Niu Hulu led Mrs. Nala in.I saw Niu Hulu nodded slightly at me, and I felt relieved, knowing that things must have turned around, but I couldn't say anything more at this time, I just stepped forward to salute Nala according to the rules, with a face Still making an expression of knowing nothing.Nala's face was a little pale, but her eyes were terribly calm, making everyone lower their heads one by one, avoiding her gaze.Mrs. Nala didn't say anything more, but dismissed the crowd. Mrs. Li took the maids away without saying a word, but Mrs. Nian was a little unwilling. He stood behind Mrs. Nala and opened his mouth several times to think say something.

The room was quiet, there was no sound at all, Nalashi glanced at me, then turned around suddenly, Nianshi was startled, Nalashi said something in a low voice, Nianshi's complexion changed drastically, turning pale Her hands were trembling unknowingly, she was biting her lip to bless her body, then turned around abruptly and left.Nala came over with a smile and chatted with me, the incident just now disappeared as if it had never happened, I would not be so stupid to touch this bad luck again, so I chatted with Nala casually.It's just that I can't help but worry about the food I just ate. Fortunately, it's not much. If it's highly poisonous, I might pass it in one bite. Since there's nothing wrong now, I think it's not a big poison.Although he comforted himself in this way, he was still a little uneasy. Although Nalashi looked like the world was peaceful, his speech was also broken, not as organized as usual.

After talking all over the place for a while, Li Hai'er came in suddenly, saying that something happened in the palace, and told me to go back quickly.Nala's and I looked at each other, and we both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but I wondered how Defei got the letter so quickly, and Nala's because of this incident, I don't know the impact on the Sibeile Mansion How big and anxious.

As my thoughts flashed, I politely stood up and said goodbye to Nalashi. Nalashi also said something about the master's purpose, and it was inconvenient for her to keep guests, so he got up and sent me out.Everyone was silent along the way, although 1 people knew what to say to whitewash the peace, but at the moment they were full of worries and really didn't know what to say.When they arrived at the second gate, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Niu Hulu and even Mrs. Nian were already waiting there. Although it was extremely embarrassing to meet each other, what should be said had to be said, and it was nothing more than polite words. Fan Zhenxin, although there was worry in his eyes, he still took my hand and asked a few words, and I sincerely agreed with a smile.Nian's complexion was still very bad, when he looked at me, there was still faint resentment in his eyes, but when he looked at the carriage from the palace to pick me up, there was more fear in his eyes.I sighed secretly in my heart, if I hadn’t taken this gamble today, I’m afraid my end would be beyond what can be described by the word “unlucky”...

The eunuchs helped me into the carriage, Sifujin came over, looked at me hesitating to speak, and finally said nothing, just forced himself to smile, and gave me a few instructions.I respectfully agreed, although I had something to say in my heart, I didn't say it after all, I turned my head and ordered Congren to return to the palace.The carriage moved forward slowly, and I finally couldn't help but look back through the window, Nalashi and the others were standing firmly at the door, but the sunset glow behind them was extremely red, and I felt a chill in my heart.

Back at the Changchun Palace, I gave a rough overview of the situation, but I didn't mention Nian's and the others' act of inspiring their teacher to ask for their sins. Concubine De leaned on the couch and just listened silently, and didn't intervene until I finished speaking. .The room was silent, there was no one else, she didn't speak, and I was so tired from today's events, I didn't have the energy to try to figure out her thoughts, forget it, whoever I love...

"Xiaowei," Concubine De suddenly spoke. "Ah, yes." I was startled, and was too busy to concentrate on the response. "Are you... all right?" Concubine De asked slowly.My heart froze, she really knew something, I smiled and said, "It's okay, Madam Lao's note." Concubine De looked me up and down, and smiled slightly: "I haven't been to your fourth sister-in-law's place before, how is it?" , isn’t it not bad?” I was taken aback, why did I ask this suddenly. "It's pretty good, majestic yet concise, with..." I paused here, swallowing the words that came to my lips, and seeing that Empress Defei was looking at me, I smiled and said, "Four Sister-in-law's style is similar." Concubine De was taken aback, then smiled and shook her head.I smiled wryly in my heart, maybe she understood that what I was going to say just now is similar to Fourth Master's style. "Do you like it?" Concubine De asked again, I thought about it: "Of course I like it, but I still think my home is the best." I scratched my cheek and relaxed. "Oh, why?" Concubine De asked with great interest.I smiled: "I can't say it, I just feel that my home feels very warm. Even if it's a straw hut, it's my own, so I don't need to grab it from others." Concubine De narrowed her eyes and looked at me carefully. Like a sharp sword, go through my body to find out the true thoughts deep in my heart.I let her watch it without any resistance, because what I just said was the most truthful truth, I only want what I have, not to rob others.I looked at Concubine De, she suddenly smiled, and I laughed too, Concubine De shook the silk fan lightly twice: "You are not implying me, you want to go home." I chuckled: " Empress Shengming, I just want to stay at home and not come out." Concubine De was stunned, and burst out laughing: "You girl, you are so straightforward." Seeing that her eyes were also smiling, she was not at all ashamed Annoyed, I was just about to joke around, when Dongmei lifted the curtain and came in and said that the noble lord had come, Concubine De got up in a hurry to greet her, and by the way told me to pass tonight and go home tomorrow.

I thanked En sincerely, and seeing Dongmei's puzzled face, I made a face at her again, startled her, gave me a smiley look, and went to serve Concubine De.Watching Concubine De go to the front hall, I was greatly relieved, I have expressed my feelings to Concubine De today, I absolutely don't want to get involved in the fourth master's mansion, and I am even willing to stay in the thirteenth mansion in order to reduce trouble, so as not to disturb Come on, can't you still hide?Thinking of this, I can't help but smile, Concubine De is obviously very satisfied with my expression, I don't know how many things have been rewarded to me in the past few days since I returned to Shisan Beizi Mansion, as a show of love.This is no different from the meaning of the collar she gave me when I got married. Maybe in her eyes, everything has a price. Life and death, love and hatred, love and hatred are nothing more than a matter of how much money is spent.

It was the ghost thing that I ate into my stomach. I was worried that there would be something wrong, and I wondered if I had secretly invited the imperial doctor to take a look. In the end, I went to the latrine three times in the evening, and I just said something. I understand, the only sequelae is nothing more than thinner intestines.However, I was a little scared afterwards. If one of the goals of the person who wanted to frame me was indeed the third elder brother, then the dose of these medicines was enough to kill a one-and-a-half-year-old child. If that's the case... goosebumps popped out all over my body, it's really the most poisonous woman's heart...

Of course the third elder brother is fine. If he had something to do, I might not be able to get away so easily even if I ate the whole plate of dim sum.Although I guessed a general idea in my heart, but the details are not very clear. I dare not ask and don't really want to ask. Mrs. Niu Hulu came to see me, and now I don't know what to do.

It is said that the snack was originally intended for the little elder brother, and it was a coincidence that the little elder brother was holding on to the toy and refused to let go. Li said that he would eat it after his son, and broke it up and fed it to the pug on the ground. The dog was not very big, and after eating it for a long time, he kept foaming, and then died.And then, that's a cliché, and a group of people came to ask the crime aggressively.If I hadn't eaten that snack, and Nalashi happened to come back, I would have had nothing good to eat that day anyway.Now Nian’s premature birth hurts her body, not to mention, she has worked hard to give birth to a worthless daughter... But I don’t feel any gloat in my heart, I just am deeply vigilant to myself: don’t take good things as small as others. , don't do it because of the smallness of the evil.

I took a deep breath, the air was full of the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, and the various flowers and fruit trees I ordered people to plant had a very high survival rate, so there was always a faint fragrance in Shisan Beizi's mansion, accompanied by winding paths The secluded forest, small bridges and flowing water are extremely refreshing. Niu Hulu also liked it when he saw it, but he laughed at me as a person who will enjoy happiness.

In the past two months since I came back, I have kept my ears shut and devoted myself to repairing the mansion and nourishing my body along the way.On a whim that day, I thought of a few postures I used to practice Taekwondo, and added a few yoga poses I had practiced before, so I spread a blanket in the garden and started practicing. After a few moves, Xiaotao and the others Terrified, I just stared at me stretching my arms and kicking my legs, and said "hum ha ha ha" in my mouth.But the effect is really good, my body gradually became stronger, and my face became rosy. Xiaotao saw that I looked good, so she stopped nagging about what was out of order, but I asked her to practice with me, but she He refused to be beaten to death, and mumbled something like "disgraceful" behind his back.I don't care about her either, I haven't been so free and happy for a long time, I can do whatever I want every day, and I can be as happy as I want.

Every morning I get up on time to exercise for an hour or so. I am already covered in sweat after doing the prescribed movements. Xiaotao and the others are busy wiping my sweat and changing clothes. I am afraid that I will catch a cold again. I will let them do it. To say that I have really adapted to something in ancient times is not to let others help me change clothes and take a shower, and it doesn't matter if someone is watching me.

Good exercise, good body, and good mood represent a good appetite. I ate the steamed bun with sauced meat and drank the mung bean porridge in the bowl. Xiaotao was blowing another bowl for me. She always She laughed and said that she was not as fast as I was drinking. "Xiaotao, have another bowl." I lowered my head and ate the freshly pickled cucumber. It was really delicious... After a while, Xiaotao didn't move. I looked up...

"Ahem!" I coughed heavily, and the dusty Yinxiang was raising his brows, leaning against the door and looking at me half-unbelievably half-funny...
