Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 66

The army is about to return to the imperial court, and it coincides with the death of elder brother Eleven, and it is a troubled time in the palace.

At this time, Xiaoyi became more careful, and the fetus in her womb also gave her an excuse to be lazy.So even though there was no Wu Yashi to take care of her, she still followed Sanfujin, took Yao'er, and closed the door of elder brother's house to live in peace.

Of course she couldn't compare to Ting Fang, Concubine Rong valued her from the bottom of her heart, and personally avoided many troubles for her daughter-in-law.Xiaoyi here, when it's time to say hello, I will still say hello.Fortunately, there is Concubine Huihui, and the Gege she produced is almost one year old.Little Gege Yuxue is cute, looks like a noble concubine, and Kangxi loves it very much.

The imperial concubine is a person who repays kindness, she can remember the relationship between this child and the prescription given by Xiaoyi.Like Wu Yashi, it is inconvenient for her to speak, she just caresses Xiaoyi a little bit.As the emperor's cousin, although the imperial concubine is not a queen, her face is enough in this harem.This care is enough for Xiaoyi to live leisurely.

"Yaoer, Erniang is here to teach you how to read."

Elder brother's place is sunny, and since Yinzhen left, both mother and daughter have fallen asleep together.Take a nap to avoid the scorching summer sun, and wait until the temperature is just right when you wake up.Xiaoyi opened the window, picked up the thousand-character essay and taught her daughter to read.

"The heaven and the earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric..."

The gentle voice of the adult woman was mixed with the childish voice of the little girl, and the maid cleaning the Bogu shelf couldn't help but slow down her steps for fear of disturbing them.

"master."

Nanny Wu walked in with small steps, and walked in front of Xiaoyi.

"Mommy, what's the matter?"

Xiaoyi put down the scroll in her hand, picked up her daughter's little hand holding the brush, and taught her to write stroke by stroke.It has been five years since she was married into the palace, and she has already tidied up the inside and outside in these years, and now she doesn't need to spend much effort to know everything.

"The Eight Banners army is still two days away from the capital, and they will be able to enter the city the day after tomorrow."

"Oh."

They are all her own people, Xiaoyi didn't show much enthusiasm like facing outsiders.Grandma Wu stepped back, she had to arrange for the servants to clean up elder brother's house.The master is pregnant now, so he can't worry too much about it.She watched Gege grow up, and she thought about her a lot, so that her life would be worry-free.

"Ama is coming back?"

Xiaoyi took the brush out of her daughter's mouth, and Yao'er followed her. She always likes to bite the pen holder when she is learning calligraphy, which is not a good habit.

"Yes, Yao'er will be able to see Ama the day after tomorrow."

"Great!"

Yao'er got off the chair and immediately jumped up.Xiaoyi knelt down and looked at her eye level: "What did Er Niang say yesterday?"

The little girl thought for a while, then suddenly slapped her head: "Write five big characters every day? No, you must persist in doing things to the end, and don't give up halfway."

"That?"

Zhiyao held back her joy, obediently sat on the chair, and began to write big characters stroke by stroke.Seeing such a daughter, Xiaoyi was very satisfied.Touching her belly, her four-month-old belly is already slightly protruding, but Xiaoyi's waist is slender, and the flag dress is made of buckets, so she can't see it clearly on weekdays.

"Aren't you happy?"

Looking at the innocent daughter, Xiaoyi choked, what should she say.

"When Ama comes back, Erniang won't be able to sleep with Yao'er in her arms."

"It's okay, Yao'er can sleep by herself."

"Well, Yao'er is good, let's write."

Fourth master is coming back, so will Ama and brother come back with him?This time, they followed General Fei Yanggu all the way, found the main force according to her memory, and made great achievements. Presumably, the wealth of Ulanara's family can rise to a higher level.

But fourth master, Xiaoyi's hands were spinning around her stomach.As the month of this pregnancy increases, the memory of the previous life becomes clearer and clearer.She was almost certain that this child was her Honghui.The fragments in her memory that were no longer clear after many years reappeared in her mind over and over again.Doting on Hongyu, but turning a blind eye to Honghui's various things.Li's arrogance, her forbearance and secret tears.

She knew that the fourth master had his own considerations, perhaps because he had strict requirements on the future son, and made up for the second son who could not inherit the title.That's what she thought at the time, and she comforted herself over and over again.Hong Hui will be the prince in the future, she doesn't have the same knowledge as Hong Jin.

But after reliving her life, when she saw the kindness of Fourth Master towards Yao'er, she completely overturned her own cognition.In this life, I have won the favor of the fourth master, so even if Yao'er is a daughter, she can still get the love of the fourth master.

Even if Honghui is the son in the future, why can't he get Ama's love?Doesn't Kangxi also love the prince who is about to succeed?Everything is just an excuse. What do children know, what they care most about is the love of their parents.There is no other explanation for the difference between Hongying and Honghui, it can only be partiality!While resenting the uselessness of her previous life, she secretly vowed not to let the tragedy happen again.

The servants in the brother's office are busy, and the master is coming back.Xiaoyi was still sitting with her daughter, no servants were present.One of the two women read the account books, and the other practiced big characters, and they were not at all eager.

Looking at the sun, it's almost time.The daughter also finished writing. After Xiaoyi checked it, she could see that the writing was a little impatient.But Yao'er is only five years old, so it's not bad if she can sit still.

"Change your clothes, let's go to the door and wait for you, Ama."

Calculate the time, dress up your daughter and tidy up yourself.Xiaoyi led her daughter over there, and saw Mrs. Song and Mrs. Guo standing there.Visually inspecting the thick frost and snow on their collars, one can tell at a glance that they are waiting here before dawn.

"Greetings to Fujin and Da Gege."

"Get up."

Xiaoyi didn't make too much trouble, and Mammy Wu took out a fox fur cloak.Xiaoyi tied it on her daughter first, and then put it on herself.It was already the end of June before I went, and now it is almost November.He glanced sideways at Song's and Guo's clothes. Although the thin shirts can outline the lines, they are not warm at all.

"The two of you are wearing such thin clothes, but you didn't receive winter clothes? No, you were still wearing cotton clothes when you greeted you yesterday."

"Forgive me, Fujin, this servant realizes his mistake."

The two knelt straight in the snow, heard the sound of horseshoes, and looked at the team approaching in the distance, Xiaoyi frowned.With such a low rank, you also want to frame her?
After a few breaths of silence, Xiaoyi said in a moderate voice: "Er Niang has always been lenient, and she has rewarded you a lot. Ben Fujin has never treated you harshly. Today is the day of my grandpa's triumphant return. Get up quickly." Bar."

Yinzhen, who rode his horse to the door, just heard the last sentence.How come he couldn't understand at first glance, wearing autumn clothes in winter, this is the eye medicine for Fujin?
"Greetings to Grandpa!"

Before Xiao Yifu could smile, Yinzhen dismounted and supported her; "Fujin is heavy now, so there is no need to be polite."

"Ama!"

"Hey, Yao'er has grown taller again."

Yinzhen picked up his daughter and walked inside with Fujin.Passing by the Song family and the Guo family, he walked over as if he didn't see them.

Xiaoyi wasn't good enough to use her kindness here, but it was ugly enough for them to kneel at the door.And if it spread, it would be bad for her reputation for being virtuous and generous.

"Master, it's not proper for this person to come and go."

"That's right, it's still Fujin who is thoughtful and considerate to his servants. Since the two of them don't like to wear new clothes so much, then there is no need to waste their New Year's share."

Mrs. Song glared at Mrs. Guo, she hated this troublemaker to death.Originally, there were not many monthly rewards, but the Chinese New Year was her big income.The emperor has recently been strictly investigating Bao Yi, the Song family was not well-off in the first place, so what should they do now.

"Both masters, please go back."

Fourth Master changed his clothes and hugged Yao'er.After seeing her big characters, she even praised her repeatedly.My daughter can write at the age of five, and Fujin's child will always be smart no matter it is Argo Gege.And he had a hunch that this baby would definitely be a brother.

Thinking of his previous life, how much he didn't pay attention to the backyard, he was persuaded by Li, thinking that Hongqin was smarter than Honghui.In this life, he will definitely make up for his son-in-law.But faintly, there was always a bad premonition in his heart.Tossing his head, it was all troubled by Mrs. Song and the others, what a bad luck!
After a little washing up, it's today's celebration banquet.

The Eight Banners defeated the Junggar army, and Kangxi was rewarded for his meritorious deeds.As Xiaoyi had expected, Ama had already become a noble minister, and she was only rewarded with a yellow jacket.The elder brother Wuge made great contributions this time, and was named a third-rank guard to join the leader.Even his 12-year-old nephew, Duo Xihui, showed his talents for the first time, and he was named a fourth-class bodyguard from the fifth rank in terms of military merits.

Because of the great meritorious service of the Ulanala family, the Guarjia family was also granted the first-rank imperial wife title.After entering the palace to thank the queen mother, she was specially allowed to see her daughter.

During the period, she mentioned the marriage of Duo Xihui, and next year is the year of the draft.Thinking of Duoxihun's age, Xiaoyi persuaded Eniang that it's better to wait another time.At that time, Xihui will be more mature, and with greater military achievements, there will be more good choices.

"It's true. Recently, a few colleagues wanted to give your brother some horses. What kind of horses are they called?" Mrs. Guarjia patted his knees, "It's the Yangzhou skinny horse."

"Emiang, my sister-in-law is dedicated to housework, and my brother must not be like this. Besides, people like us are rich enough to have no worries for their children and grandchildren, and the most feared thing is to cause trouble. Duoxihun is already very good, if there is another mess, then The house is not messed up."

Xiaoyi resolutely objected, and Guerjia succumbed to her: "Look at your quick temper, how could Erniang be that kind of person. They are all people with daughters, how come I don't know about your sister-in-law? Your brother was beaten up by me, and those skinny horses were thrown into the kitchen for cooking."

"How could brother do such a foolish thing?"

"He has made great achievements, and he was a little smug for a while. He drank too much and was praised by others, and he couldn't remember his last name."

Xiaoyi frowned, this was something she did not expect, arrogance is out of the question.The older brother loved her so much in the past two lives, so he will definitely listen to her advice in this life.He wrote a letter with a pen, advising his elder brother to be more cautious, and told Er Niang again.Everyone who is rich is jealous, although Ulanara's family was promoted by military exploits, it is inevitable that some people will make others stumble.

Sure enough, Wuge still loves her sister very much, as can be seen from the grateful attitude of sister-in-law when she saw her during the Chinese New Year.Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, the sister-in-law is very nice.Married in for 15 years, filial to the elders, raising children and taking care of the housework, she deserves to be treated well by the elder brother.

Because of the victory, this year's Spring Festival palace was extraordinarily lively.However, Xiaoyi noticed that Yinzhen was gradually hiding herself as Ulanara's family was promoted step by step.Recently, he has become more obsessed with Buddhism. He cares less about the affairs of the yamen as much as he can, and starts drinking tea every day after ordering.

No matter what the reason is, as long as it doesn't affect her natal family and her children.

After the Chinese New Year, Kangxi decided to go on a personal expedition, take advantage of the victory and pursue, and defeat Galdan in one go.Just after the first month, the Eight Banners army set off again.At the end of March, San Fujin was mobilized, and after several twists and turns, San Age's eldest son was born.At this time, the battle report came from the front, and the emperor defeated Galdan's main force.

For a while, the third elder brother became famous, and this child was even named Hong Qing by Kangxi, who was left on the front line.

In late March, the army's squadron returned to the court.When the capital was approaching, Xiaoyi, who had just participated in Hongqing Full Moon, was about to start.
