Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 59

The snow that had accumulated all winter also melted, forming icicles on the glazed tiles.The icicles turned into water again, dripping down.The willows outside the window are gradually sprouting, and a touch of new green emerges, which is particularly eye-catching on the gray studded treetops. The spring of the 34th year of Kangxi has begun.

In Elder Brother's Office, Xiaoyi sat at the desk, closed the ledger and stretched.Gu Se brought someone over with a large pile of fabrics, spread them out on the square table in front of the window, and picked up one of the royal blue ones.

"Master, how about this piece of material?"

Xiaoyi got up, picked and picked among a pile of fabrics, and finally chose a piece of pink and a piece of light yellow, "Just these two, and the royal blue one is also kept. As for the rest, I will take it to the backyard later. Let Guo and Song take a look."

In this kind of matter, Xiaoyi has never pretended to be generous.She is Fujin, she should have been chosen first.She doesn't like letting Song Shi and Guo Shi choose randomly if she doesn't need it, it's a grace for them.

Yinzhen who came in from the outside just heard this, went to the table and picked up two horses at random, "Just these two."

"Guse, send it to Song Shi and Guo Shi."

Gu Sefu went out and walked to the back room.Yinzhen picked up the fabric in Xiaoyi's hand, "Is this going to make clothes for Yao'er?"

"Yeah, Yao'er looks different every day, and she has grown a lot taller this winter. Seeing that spring is about to begin, the concubine thinks that she has to make the clothes earlier."

Fourth Master nodded invisibly, regardless of past life or present life, Fujin's thoughts on children have never changed.Do your best and do everything yourself.

"Then make a few more, and it's convenient to change clothes."

Xiaoyi heard this, and took out another piece of material, "These should be enough."

Yinzhen stretched out his hand to add two more horses, "Do these first, and add more when there is not enough. Xiaoyi can't do it, so let the needleworkers do it. There is also the back room, don't give them too much preferential treatment."

"After all, they are my sisters. I am very happy to let them make two clothes that suit my heart."

Although she said so, Xiaoyi's expression was slightly unnatural.Yinzhen was even more happy to see her like this, Fujin really cared about him.Just to have a good reputation, even if she doesn't like it in her heart, she will treat Song and Guo kindly.In fact, thinking deeper, isn't Fujin doing this for him?After all, there is a virtuous Fujin, and he has a bright face when he goes out to do errands.

Satisfied, Yinzhen felt pity for Xiaoyi even more.For two lifetimes, Fujin had been working hard for him, but in his previous life, he didn't even give her the last bit of decency.The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, he grabbed Fujin's hand,

"It's just a servant serving Xiaoyi. It doesn't deserve to be called a sister. You can pick whatever you want in the future, and no one in this palace can say anything."

After being married for four years, Xiaoyi is no longer awkward being caught by him.Although they don't have that kind of love for this man in their hearts, their interests are the same. Yao'er's status will be precious only if Fourth Master is well.

Xiaoyi has always been able to think about it, she will do what she should do.As for what she shouldn't do, she has always been reticent.The fourth master had just started working, but he was obstructed by the officials in various ways. Even Ama made him a little trouble, which was a relief for her daughter.

"The concubine is awake, and I will do everything according to my master's orders."

Seeing that she agreed, Yinzhen calmed down instantly after being a little irritable due to the unsatisfactory business affairs.No matter what, he still has Fujin to accompany him.

"Ama, Erniang, Yao'er has woken up."

Hearing her daughter's voice, Xiaoyi calmly breathed a sigh of relief.The atmosphere in the room just now was too embarrassing for her.Withdrawing the hand held by the fourth master, she walked to the door in two steps, and picked up Yao'er who was about to buy the threshold.

Just after waking up, the little girl's eyelids were a little red and swollen.Seeing so many fabrics, she stretched out her hand to pick up one and put it on her body, "Mother, it looks good!"

"These are for Yao'er, do Yao'er like it?"

Yinzhen picked up her daughter from Xiaoyi's arms, lowered her head and asked her in a low voice.

"Yao'er likes it, but give it to Yao'er, so Ama Erniang will be gone. This one is for Ama, and the green one is for Erniang."

Xiaoyi and Yinzhen's hearts were warmed by the little girl's considerate actions.Just as he was about to pick up his daughter and kiss her, Su Peisheng's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, there is a message from Yuqing Palace."

Yinzhen put Yao'er down regretfully, and shouted coldly to the door: "Come in!"

Su Peisheng came in with a bow, "Greetings to Master, Fujin, and Da Gege."

Yinzhen put down his robe, and Su Peisheng continued, "Master, the crown prince told you to go to Qianqing Palace together."

The crown prince has something to do without delay, Yinzhen hugged Yao'er, "Ama will play with you when I come back."

Yao'er waved her little hand at Ama, "Emiang said that Ama is a person who does great things, Ama should go and get busy, Yao'er and Ama are waiting for Ama."

After pinching his daughter's face, Yinzhen led Su Peisheng out the door.Xiaoyi took out a bunch of tricks and asked Zhiyao to choose the one she likes.

"Emiang, I want a little rabbit and a little deer."

"Can you embroider these foreheads on your purse, so that you can play with several at a time."

You can only wear one piece of clothing, but you can carry several in your purse.The little girl counted with her fingers, it would be better to embroider it on the purse, she nodded and stretched out three fingers, "I want three purses!"

"Three good ones, will Er Niang make this pattern for you? It's the same as Er Niang's. Yao'er will definitely look beautiful in it."

The little girl nodded like a rattle, "Yes, Yao'er is the same as Er Niang, and Ama is also the same as Er Niang."

Xiaoyi held her daughter in her arms, this girl couldn't be loved enough.The little girl sat obediently in Eniang's arms, watching the curtain move.

"It's Aunt Guser."

"Slaves send greetings to the master, Da Gege."

Xiaoyi put Yao'er beside her and gave her a jade pendant to play with.While he was arranging the fabric, he asked about the situation of the back room.

"Master, when we first saw the fabric, Master Song and Master Guo were not very satisfied. But after the servant girl said that the master chose it himself, the two happily accepted it."

The corner of Xiaoyi's mouth lightly raised, it was exactly what she thought.Although he didn't care about the family affairs, fourth master still knew the quality of fabrics.The two he chose just now, not to mention the old-fashioned color, the material is also at the bottom of the pile of fabrics.The Song family and the Guo family are used to high-quality silk, can't they be happy to see this?

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.For people like the Song family and the Guo family, whether they can see these materials in the palace before entering the palace is a problem.When they were maids, they couldn't wear silk and satin, and after only a few years in elder brother's house, they were not willing to wear silk and satin because they were raised by non-fine silk.

"Er Niang, are they all happy?"

A childish voice came, and Zhiyao was looking at her suspiciously.Xiaoyi saw Mammy Wu looking at her with some disapproval, and just about to step forward, she hurriedly made a gesture to stop her.

"Yeah, does Yao'er know why they are happy?"

Zhiyao shook her head, then nodded again, "Yao'er knows, because it was given by Ama."

Now the puzzled one turned into Xiaoyi, looking at the daughter in front of her, she was only three years old, and she hit the key point right away.

"Ama gives Yao'er a gift, and Yao'er will be happy. Then Ama gives them a gift, and they will be happy too."

Sure enough, she was thinking too much, it turned out that Yao'er thought so.Xiaoyi hugged her daughter on her lap and stroked her bangs, "Yaoer is right, but there is another reason."

"Mother, what's the reason?"

"In our yard, you, Ama, are the most powerful. No one can refute what he said. Just like your emperor Mafa gave you the jade pendant, no one dares to bully you, and some servant girls will treat you even more. It's the same."

Zhiyao put her index finger between her lips, and tilted her head, "Then Ama will give it away, and the servants in the yard will curry favor with them. No, they can only listen to Er Niang."

The daughter is really smart, Xiaoyi hugged her a little tighter, "Yao'er said, is Erniang the best, or the Song family and the Guo family?"

"Of course it's Er Niang. Er Niang is not only powerful, but also a nice person. Yao'er likes Er Niang the most!"

"So Yao'er, these mothers are not afraid. You have to remember this. Your Huangma is the emperor and the emperor, and your Ama is the prince. Your background is no worse than anyone else. You are not born with some people. Care about, because you can decide their fate with a casual word."

"Yao'er remember it!"

Caressing her daughter's head, Xiao Yiyu said earnestly, "But there are some people, they are better than you. So Yao'er must be obedient, let them all like you, and help you talk at critical times."

Accepting too much content at once, the little girl looked at Eniang in a daze, and Xiaoyi pinched her little nose.

"Yao'er doesn't need to think too much, there is Erniang here."

The little girl yawned, she was tired after a while.Coaxing her daughter to sleep, covering her with a quilt, Xiaoyi looked at Mammy Wu's disapproving expression, and sighed.

"Does Mammy feel that it's still too early to teach Yao'er these things?"

Grandma Wu nodded, "Master, little master is only three years old now. Besides, she has such an honorable status, how dare the future son-in-law bully her."

"Three years old is not too young to be in the palace. Mommy, look at me, I have suffered a lot in this regard."

Thinking of this Nanny Wu felt a little sentimental, "Ge Ge, Master and Fujin didn't expect that you would marry so high. I thought that I could support you no matter what because of my family status in Wulanala Mansion."

Xiaoyi rubbed her temples wearily, "Forget it, it's useless to say these things, and life is getting better and better now. It's just that Yao'er doesn't know who to follow, and she is very soft-hearted. She is right to be lenient. But you should also know when to be strict, and you have to be careful with the degree. Teach her a little more, it's better than catching her blind. Yao'er is already smart, and she can learn it as soon as she learns."

"Hey, it's because the old slave is thinking about it, and the master is thinking about it."

Xiaoyi asked people to put the fabric away, "Let's not talk about that, what happened when Grandpa went out just now?"

"The old slave just poured tea and asked Chun Xing. She vaguely heard that it seemed to be something about the northwest side, and she didn't know anything about the previous dynasty."

The smile is clear, Galdan has been restless these years.Counting the days, it's time for Kangxi to make arrangements.Tucking Ye Zhiyao's quilt, she got up and wrote a letter, and handed it to Nanny Wu.

"Let our people be handed over to Ama."

Pacifying the Northwest is the biggest battle after Kangxi 30 years ago, and the Ulanala family must seize this opportunity.
