Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 9

Royal weddings are not like folk, with loud drums and bustling crowds.The whole ceremony was held at dusk, and the infantry commander cleared the way from the palace to Fujin's house early in the morning.

Although there were drums in the guard of honor, there was only the sound of drums on the entire road after leaving the mansion. Although it was solemn and solemn, it still sounded a little lonely.This tranquility is just in line with Xiaoyi's current mood, Ama Erniang's cries are still ringing in her ears, they have prepared the best for her.

A generous dowry, a motivated elder brother, an extremely courteous Ama, and the great attention of Ulanara's family.

Now, the rest is in her hands.

Under the scarlet hijab, Xiaoyi's color is dark and obscure.She knew that the tall horse not far in front of her was the man she had loved all her life but hated so much when she was dying.Now that love is gone, but before the time is ripe, she will bury it deeply in her heart.

Along the way, it didn't take long to arrive at the palace.The sedan chair jolted, and Xiaoyi knew that it was a change of servants in the palace.Silently thinking about the scenery along the way, the sedan chair landed in the blink of an eye.

The female officer who combed her hair in the morning raised the curtain of the sedan chair and helped her get off the sedan chair.Stepping into Elder Brother's House again, Xiaoyi was filled with emotions. She knew everything here very clearly, following the steps taught by the nurse in the palace during the draft, three steps forward was Elder Brother's door.Go straight through the door, after 28 steps you will find the main hall...

Fortunately, she is now covered with a hijab, so no one can see the darkness on her face.Taking the red ribbon from the female officer's hand, she was helped into the main hall, listening to the noise around her, she warned herself:
From now on, I can no longer think wildly, and I can't make a mistake in the palace.

Holding the vase across the brazier, they waited for Fourth Master to finish shooting the arrow. They finally reached the last step, worshiping the hall.The ceremony officer sang lyrics at the side, and Xiaoyi was led by the female officer, and she knelt down slowly.

"Licheng—!"

Until this moment, she suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.She came back again, and Hong Hui could come back, but she had to face the same group of people again, and survived dozens of years like that!
Elder brother's house is not big, and after walking a few steps, he arrived at the dormitory in the main courtyard.Hearing a familiar voice from afar, Xiaoyi felt at ease.Her dowry nanny and servant girl entered the palace together with the dowry. After Erniang knew about the past life, she specially chose two big maidservants beside her, and let the nanny Wu Nanny enter the palace together.

These two maidservants are the sons of Ulanara's family. Xiaoyi remembers that in the previous life, they were never married, and in the end they just combed their hair and became nuns. When the sister-in-law went to the palace to visit her, she took one of them with her.There are not many people that Prince Fujin can bring into the palace, and everyone is a confidant.There are still many years before leaving the sub-fu and leaving the palace, these people must not be as heartless as Ruzhu Ruju.Er Niang thought for a while and always felt that no one was appropriate, and she wished she could follow them in person, but in the end it was she who made the decision to take the two of them.Then she changed their names to Guse and Chuisheng respectively.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, a slightly hoarse male voice came, "You wait and rest, master go to the front, eat something first if you are hungry."

Wearing a red hijab, Xiaoyi nodded slightly, "Go ahead and get busy."

Hearing the familiar voice, Yinzhen was so indifferent that he would not leave.But after decades of self-disciplined life, he still held back.Thinking of all the things that happened during the wedding ceremony today, and the strange behavior of the father-in-law, it would be better to explain it to Huang Ama tomorrow.

The sound of boots went away, and the sound of the door closing came, Xiaoyi put up her hijab slightly, "Nurse?"

"Oh, my dear Princess, this hijab cannot be removed, it's unlucky!"

"No problem."

Even though she said that, Xiaoyi obediently covered her back.She has seen immortals before, so ghosts should also exist. It is better to pay attention to the taboos mentioned by the elders.

"Mommy, talk to me."

"Well, the old slave is here, what does Princess want to hear?"

"Just say whatever you want!"

"Yesterday, the old servant, the drum zi, and the sheng arrived. This palace is different from ours. Fortunately, the people here are relatively simple, and the maids in this courtyard are quite friendly to us, especially that Chun Xing. ...."

"You mean Chunxing? Is it about the same height as Guse, with a mole between her eyebrows?"

"How did Grid know?"

Xiaoyi waved her hand, and Mammy Wu came over, she whispered, "The Chunlai next to my brother is her younger brother, take a good look at him, if it's appropriate, you can use it with confidence."

Nanny Wu said in a low voice, "For the time being, Mrs. Song is in charge of the affairs in this courtyard. We also met Mrs. Song yesterday, and she is honest. It's Mrs. Li, who is enchanting."

Xiaoyi was very puzzled. When she married in her previous life, Li Shi was in charge of everything in the elder brother's office.Concubine Li was very fond of Concubine De, and for a long time afterwards, Concubine De escorted her to fulfill her filial piety in Yonghe Palace every day, and the housekeeper right remained in Li's hands.

Could it be because Ama was too strong that Concubine De didn't dare to make a move in this life?In my previous life, I was young and energetic, and I was stubborn and refused to tell my family.In the end, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the emperor had a big banquet for all the ministers, Ting Fang couldn't speak out in front of the queen mother in a moment of anger, and the power of stewardship returned to him.Think about what Concubine De said back then,

"The slave girl sees that the fourth family's temperament is lively, like the daughter of the servant girl, so she always keeps her by her side. The fourth family's mother is confused and forgot about it."

The emperor also took the opportunity to say, "Concubine De has a motherly heart, and the fourth family will spend more time with your mother when they have time."

The matter was settled here, and it took him several years to control Elder Brother's office, and then found out that Ruju had drugged her and she was infertile.During the period, when Ama passed away again, she came to her senses under the grief, cheered up and followed what Nanny Wu said, and finally gave birth to Honghui after every step of the way.

"Gege, according to this old slave, the Li family is very petty, so he has a bit of beauty!"

"Hush, this is the palace." Xiaoyi whispered, "From now on, everyone will be sisters. Sister Li and Sister Song must have their own uniqueness. Also, from now on, they will be called Fujin."

Mammy Wu was stunned for a moment, but she quickly turned around, "Fu Jin, this old slave knows."

"Nurse, you have nursed me since I was a child, and I have already regarded you as a half-mother. It's just that this is the palace, you just go out and let me know how to play the lute. In the future, you have to be careful in everything, take one step and think three steps. "

Just after giving instructions, the door creaked open.

"Fourth brother, slow down."

Xiaoyi quickly sat upright, she felt the corner of her clothes move, and knew that it was the female officer who came in and was arranging her crown.Sitting upright without moving, a smell of alcohol came, and the hijab had been lifted before his eyes.

"Grandpa and Fujin have a drink together."

Xiaoyi stretched out her hand to take the wine glass handed over by the female officer, her arm was hooked, she lowered her head to hide her complicated emotions, and she drank a little bit of the wine with her red lips slightly parted.

The female officer put away the wine glasses, and waited for the two to change into the crown clothes and put on the regular clothes made by Fujin himself.Seeing the two clothes, Xiaoyi blushed.Manchurians are not good at female celebrities, and generally ask people to do their own stitches.But in the last years of her previous life, she was lonely in the deep palace and had trained a good female celebrity.

After removing the impurities, she not only has sharp ears and eyes, but also has more ingenuity, so she just made one for herself.I wanted the embroiderer to make another piece, but after doing part of it, I found that the needlework of the two is completely different.In desperation, while she secretly hated, she had to bother to finish another one.

Seeing her blushing, she became shy in Yinzhen's eyes.Yinzhen's heart fluttered for a while, Fujin was still the same as in his previous life, why didn't he realize that her appearance was so strange and painful.

After the wine shop is over, it is the future of the children and grandchildren. After Xiaoyi said "raw" once, she refused to say more.It's good that she only gave birth to Honghui in her life, she must give him all her love!
Seeing that she stopped talking, the female officer said the auspicious words tactfully and withdrew.The sound of drunkenness outside came from time to time, but the two people in the room were relatively silent.Thinking of Fujin's shyness, Yinzhen spoke first.

"What's your name?"

Ah, how could there be redundant words, Xiaoyi was very surprised.On this day in the previous life, Yinzhen also came back at this time, but after he finished drinking the wine, he sat on the bed and let her wait on him.

But when the men asked, she had to answer, "My concubine is from the Wulanara clan, and when I was at home, Ama'eniang called her Xiaoyi."

Hearing his father-in-law, Yinzhen frowned.Xiaoyi found out keenly, and sneered in her heart, what Ama did when she saw her off today, this master must not have seen it, he was afraid he would lose face.

Xiaoyi indeed guessed right, according to Yinzhen in her previous life, she would definitely sink her face and say nothing.However, this Yinzhen has the memory of his previous life. Knowing that he owes Fujin, he showed 120 points of patience and tried hard to make a soft expression on his stern face.

"After that, when there is no one else, the Lord will call you Xiaoyi."

Xiaoyi covered the surprise on her face with a veil, "Master, this is against the rules."

Yinzhen nodded in satisfaction, Fujin has always been the most disciplined, and has never been proud of being favored.Even if he became a great treasure later and she became a queen, she never crossed the line.Fujin has managed for him for 30 years, but he is like that. He really owes her a lot.

"You are Master's Fujin, we don't need to be so polite between husband and wife. In the future, when no one is around, you don't have to be so restrained."

Xiaoyi looked outside, the sun didn't come out from the west, how could this man who valued rules the most in the Qing Dynasty say such a thing?But she knew that this master hated others challenging his authority.

"That concubine just obeys her orders."

Yinzhen nodded in satisfaction, "Do you want Fujin to use something?"

Xiaoyi shook her head and heard him say, "Since that's the case, let's arrange it."

She regretted it for a moment, why didn't she eat, so as to delay the time.Just when he wanted to get up to fetch water, he stopped him, "I've already washed and washed, Xiaoyi doesn't need to do that."

When she heard him calling that, she froze in place.With big almond eyes and slightly parted lips, the innocent and surprised expression pleased Yinzhen.He stepped forward to pick her up and put her on the bed.
