A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 125: Family (27)
Run
When I entered the palace the next day, I wanted to find Rangyu, but my heart was always in a state of turmoil. Even if I was a brother, I couldn't say something directly. After deliberating for a long time in the yamen, I finally gave up.According to the momentum seen that day, they are in full swing, and they will definitely not listen to advice.The same is true of herself and Rong Shi, if someone stands up now and makes her think twice, she won't even respond.If the person you like is satisfied with yourself, it has nothing to do with others.Rang Yu is a dead-headed person who doesn't know how to opportunistically. What she wants to do, even if she breaks her head, she still has to achieve her goal.Or find Lu Run... He is different now, she doesn't know how to communicate with him anymore.The heart is getting farther and farther away, slowly alienated, like a stranger.

Rongshi had no news for a few days, the late emperor sent all the guards of Xianghuangqi to the south of the third hall when he was there, now that the new emperor ascends the throne, Xianghuangqi is a pro-army, the deployment of the palace has to be adjusted.She is beyond her reach, but she is aware of his difficulties.Rong Dashi is also difficult. The original Baohedian Dashi is also the emperor's teacher. Although the new emperor can't do it too conspicuously when dealing with him, it is only a matter of time. Once the emperor and the courtiers, there will be changes after a long time of.

She wanted to see him, but she couldn't, she had to restrain herself now, on the cusp of the storm, the emperor's eyeliner was all over the government and the public, and he was in control of whoever made any rash moves.She firmly believes that the days between herself and Rongshi are still long, and she is not in a hurry for a while.Rong Shi, originally planned to set up a scheme to take down Prince Yu in one fell swoop, but who would have thought that the emperor's sudden death would cause chaos all over the place.Now that the deal is done, the only thing we can do is stay the same.Since ancient times, the inheritance from father to son is in accordance with the will of God, and the situation between brothers and brothers is a hundred times more complicated.The last time was more than 300 years ago, and people who have not experienced that kind of turmoil cannot imagine.

But this new emperor is very good at superficiality, and it is not difficult for him to take over the government, because he has been in the military aircraft department, and politics is like a game to him.But after Emperor Daxing moved to the palace, he granted rewards to the former emperor and former ministers. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was in charge of all kinds of rewards. Check it out, and then go to the door to announce the decree, so as to promulgate the favor.

This errand was a bit embarrassing for her, for no other reason than to go to the Rong family's door and meet the young and old of the Rong family.Ever since my wife said that outside Donghua Gate last time, she has always felt ashamed and dared not see them.Sometimes people are like this, obviously they have done nothing wrong, but because of the blame of others and their own shame, they blame everything on themselves.When she was sitting in the sedan chair, she thought about why she had no reason to shrink back, because she loved Rongshi and respected his parents and grandmother.

The Rong family had already received the first report. When she entered the door, there was an incense table in the courtyard and high incense was lit.She stepped in with the emperor's order, and shouted "There is a reward", and the master and servant of the whole family knelt down on the ground.She glanced around and saw the old lady and his wife kneeling in front of her, and there was a prostrate figure on the veranda not far away, wearing a jade-colored emerald-leaf-patterned robe, with a plain silver phoenix-tailed hairpin in her hair. It's as if he has claimed himself as a member of the Rong family.

Song Yin felt sad, even if Rong Shi didn't agree, so what, the main one in the family would probably not be able to get rid of her for a while.Grumpy old ladies and ladies?From their standpoint, they did the right thing, who doesn't want to protect themselves.It's just that it's too cool, it's not what it used to be, and it doesn't feel intimate with the Rong family's family members, it's like seeing strangers again.

Everything can be lost, but people cannot be lost.She straightened her spine and recited aloud: "I wish you a happy new year. You will reward Yunzao, the prime minister of the cabinet and a scholar of the Palace of Preservation, and you will lead the ministers of the bodyguards. You will walk in the study room. You will receive ten taels of silver each, and eight pieces of Ning silk from the imperial court." Horses, a box of agarwood, a box of milk cakes, and a box of dried fruits, I will give you an order to thank you."

The old lady and his wife paused, "Long live, long live, long live."

Song Yin waved her hand and handed over the reward box to them, and then they handed it over to the servants to please leave.In any case, they finally came back. Now that they met, there was nothing to dodge. Song Yin generously greeted the old lady and the old lady, "I haven't come to see the old lady for a while, how is the old lady?"

The old lady Rong said yes, "Miss Lao Er is worried, this old bone can still withstand beatings." She looked at her eyes as she spoke, "But Miss Er, why does she seem to have lost a lot of weight?"

She smiled, "As you know, the House of Internal Affairs has been busy with major events recently, so busy that I don't even have time to eat. I always want to come to say hello to the old lady, because the Emperor Daxing The funeral palace was moved on the first day of the lunar new year, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, there were countless chores to be undertaken, so it was delayed. Coincidentally, I have this opportunity today, and I came to visit the house by virtue of the decree. The old lady and the wife forgive me for being incomprehensible .”

What did the old lady say, "It's not the same as being an official in a girl's family, I don't know how much thought it takes!" Suddenly realized, "I was too busy talking, and I didn't invite the second girl in for a meeting. It's rude. "

Now the words are full of life, the old lady is more polite to her because she is jealous that the sixth master will become the emperor, and she is afraid that Song Yin will be his dinner sooner or later.Song Yin was not in a good mood, and originally planned to leave after a few pleasantries, but when she saw that cousin Yi Zhuang approached the old lady attentively, her eyes were still the same as before, light and light, with depth and indifference, her narrow-mindedness was no longer there. Comfortable.

Some people naturally look down on each other, and it may be because of Rong Shi's relationship, Song Yin is very displeased with this cousin.Yi Zhuang may not like her either, but her position is not stable and she dare not attack her.

She took a look at her, and still spoke softly. She was definitely not a young lady, and she called her cousin directly, "The old lady has no one to take care of her. It's great to have you to take care of her."

Yi Zhuang was stunned for a moment, she was always careful, no matter what she said, she would think twice.Serving Leng Nuan, it sounds like she really treats her like a servant girl.She slightly pulled the corner of her lower lip, "The old lady, my wife has taken in us. We are also our own people. It is my blessing to serve in front of the old lady."

Song Yin nodded, "My own people are more dedicated to taking care of me, so Rongshi told me about you last time, and said that I wanted you to go out and buy a house, and I didn't think it was right."

This is the tense atmosphere. The old lady Rong and his wife looked at each other in blank dismay. The women in the house are used to this kind of choking method.Since Songyin is running on Yizhuang, it shows that she still has not given up on Rongshi.

Yi Zhuang naturally knew it too, but she was chased away by Rong Shi once, and even though she stayed, she felt a little uncomfortable on her face.Hearing what she said, she felt even more aggrieved, and her eyes were red with the handkerchief, "I know that the second brother hates me, we girls have a hard time, so we go to the old lady, the old lady takes pity on us, so we have the cheek to stay here. Wait Things have improved a bit in the future, my younger brother's job..." Suddenly realizing that Yichen's job was recommended by Song Yin, he was speechless.

Song Yin smiled, "Speaking of Yichen, he was responsible for buying wine and vinegar for the imperial dining room in the palace next year. The palace is a place where there is no adulteration. What I wanted was Duliu old vinegar, but he gave it away. It is red yeast rice vinegar. The world knows that Duliu is different from ordinary rice vinegar, and the price is as high as the sky and below the ground... He should have earned some hard money, but he is too brave, it is for the emperor. The preparation of the banquet is almost a crime of beheading. You are living in Rong's mansion, so don't cause trouble for the mansion. Thanks to the kitchen steward, come back to me first. Big deal."

Everyone was shocked, and the old lady was even more dumbfounded, "I didn't know about this!"

Song Yin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, I have ordered another person to refinance and fill up the hole, and nothing was delayed."

For the Rong family, as long as the family business is not affected, everything is easy to discuss.Those who are related to each other are always in the way of affection, but if they harm the whole family because of them, it must not be tolerated.

Song Yin set off a fire and planned to retreat completely. Although she suffered a little damage, she did not fabricate it. She spoke the truth and felt very at ease.She took a look at Yi Zhuang, and that's the end of grabbing her face.As the emperor, she would not be wronged at all. To be honest, she was the one who blocked people from killing people, and Buddhas blocked people from killing Buddhas.

She said the call and walked away, and the rest of the old lady and the wife became ants on the hot pot.Call Brother Qing's daughter-in-law to come and have a good talk about Yichen.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Mrs. Rong frowned and said, "Thanks to someone helping to cover it up, what if something happened!"

The old lady reprimanded angrily with a sullen face: "The mud can't support the seeds on the wall! I said I was a comprador for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I didn't say it. I was worried in secret. You know the relationship between the Tong family's little manager and Rongshi, even if I don't say it." ...Since I have arranged such an errand for my brother, you should be more careful. I know that the money is flowing in your hands, and you feel itchy when you look at it. All the imperial chefs in the palace are deaf and blind? You are too brave, tell me what you are good at! I am pointing at my brother's success, so as to revive your Shen family. After all, it is not a problem to live in other people's house all the time. The basket is hidden, if the second girl didn't come to the door to talk about it today, we would all be kept in the dark. When something happens again, the Shuntian Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will come to arrest people. Our Rong family is a serious official family, and the master is a book editor. Humans, if you bring your reputation down, wouldn’t you be gentle and dishonorable!”

Brother Qing's daughter-in-law burst into tears when she heard it. The old lady's saying that she lives in a permanent home is not a problem, and there are signs of separation.They live comfortably in Beijing. If they go back to Fangshan now, they may not be able to adapt to that kind of hard life.

She cried and wiped away her tears, "Old lady, you are holy, our brother is young, and it is inevitable that children will be confused. When he comes back and tells me, I have taught him a lesson. He already knows his mistake. I promise that next time Don’t do it again. I was also afraid of offending the old lady, so I didn’t dare to report back to you. If I had known this, even if I was punished by the old lady, I would definitely make amends to you.” Hurry Yizhuang and asked her to kowtow to the old lady, “ You just look at the face of the big girl, you love her so much in the past. With such a big girl, when she goes back to her hometown, she will be full of unworthy people, and a good child will be ruined."

Yi Zhuang was crying like pear blossoms with rain, hugged the old lady's leg and begged on her back, "Old lady, please forgive my brother for a while! He is not sensible and hastened. He also wants to set up his own family early and not give the old lady and his wife Trouble. I didn't expect that he didn't know the depth, and made such a mistake. He learned a lot from a fall, and he must reflect on himself in the future, so that he will never make the old lady angry. I also thought about it. It's been half a month since the incident, Mr. Tong If you bring it up now, isn't there any suspicion of deliberately instigating it?"

Brother Qing's daughter-in-law said at the right time: "The big girl is right, this Miss Tong's family can't let her face down, and she saw that the old lady loved the big girl and intentionally harmed us in front of the old lady. Find such an errand for our brother? We can’t talk about it, and we can’t save face; if we talk about it, it’s going to trick us like this..."

These two sentences made people frown, and Mrs. Rong said: "Everyone knows that the comprador of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a fat job, and not anyone can go there if they want. They look at the face and give you accommodating. I am not good at doing business, so I made a fool of myself." Swearing at others, how wronged they are! You are wrong to teach children like this, and sooner or later something will happen. The same is true for Yi Zhuang, you must know how to advance and retreat, and there is kindness in life. You're at a disadvantage. What about you..." She shook her head, unwilling to make any further comments. The Shen family is the old lady's natal relatives, and the old lady couldn't save face if she said too much.

The old lady became more and more dissatisfied when she heard what the wife said, and said in a cold voice: "Although we are relatives, there is a distance between us. Relatives are far away from Xiangxiang, and there is no need to go back to Fangshan's hometown, just as you want, in the city Buy another house, you just move out and live alone. If you have any difficulties, you can take care of them, the important one is that the child is grown up, and it will not delay the big girl."

In this way, it became very clear that the Rong family was afraid of being implicated by their poor relatives, so they panicked at the slightest sign of trouble, and were anxious to send them out.Even the vague idea of ​​Nayi makeup was also cut off, and she planned to get rid of it completely.

Brother Qing's daughter-in-law was dumbfounded, and Yi Zhuang was very angry. She dared to feel that her serving tea and water for so long was useless. They didn't want you anymore.

She still wanted to make up for it, sobbing: "Madam, let me stay. I have shortcomings, and I am willing to learn from the old lady. You let us go, we orphans and widows, where are we going..."

The old lady caressed her face with her hands down, "You are a good boy, you have stayed with me for three or four months, and I treat you as my granddaughter. I can walk around the house, if you miss me and come back to see me often, I will be happy." He said and pulled the two of them up, "It's not a bad thing, to be honest, I have thought about it several times, and I have never had the opportunity to meet with you. Say it. Since you are here now, just do what I just said."

It seems that there is no room for change, Yi Zhuang bit her lip and fell silent. After a long while, she said: "It's not fun to buy property in Beijing. I originally expected Yi Chen to come, but now it's too late. How about... She turned to look at her mother, "Let's find a way to go back!"

Brother Qing's daughter-in-law said, "Where are we going back? In order to raise travel expenses, we sold the old house."

The old lady became more and more disgusted. She knew what was going on in Fangshan, and she couldn't get married right now, so she wanted to make a fortune, so this trip would be worthwhile, right?She raised her finger to the eldest lady, "Prepare 100 taels of silver, send someone out to inquire, and find a place to settle down."

Mrs. Rong said that it is easy to ask the gods to give up the gods, but when it comes to them, they become the responsibility on their shoulders, and they ignore them halfway, as if they are not righteous.

Order someone to call the housekeeper, and give the order in front of their mothers, so that Brother Qing and his wife will be at ease.Anyway, this is the end of the matter, now it's all about fishing, so I took Yi Zhuang back to the yard to clean up.The old lady shook her head, "After all, it's a small family, it's really bad to get married. Looking around, I'm really sad. Where in the world are there so many sweets, but there is only one in Beijing. Thinking about it just now, I also find it funny, I usually look at children who are quite arrogant, but they have also learned to bury people."

Mrs. Rong said: "No, it seems that she and Rongshi are still of the same mind. I didn't have any prejudice against her, it's because the emperor got involved in it, we can't afford to offend her."

The old lady took the cigarette stick presented by the girl, took two puffs, and exhaled a stream of white smoke, "What should I do, the tigers in the east mountain cannibalize people, and the tigers in the west mountain can also eat people. I asked about several houses, but I didn't see any of them." Yes, but you can't force him to get married. Besides, the current situation is not good, why don't you let him go, don't add trouble to him. "

Mrs. Rong sighed, "Why am I willing to force him? I was thinking, now that the Long Live Lord has also taken a fancy to Song Yin, Rong Shi has become a family here, and this is an explanation to the Long Live Lord. The girls of the Tong family will definitely not want to be small, Now that Rong has young mistress, she will stop thinking about her. As for whether she follows the emperor or not, it has nothing to do with us, and the emperor can't blame her for it."

The old lady sighed, "Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, you haven't seen it yet? According to me, what's so great about the emperor, isn't it just a good reincarnation? We are going to be born in Wu Ya's house, which is better than his. I can still bear it!"

The grandmother looks at her grandson, and likes it no matter how she looks at it.It's not just a joke that the official rank crushes people to death.Now that the Sixth Prince has successfully succeeded to the throne, if Rong Shi wants to defeat him, he must obediently work for others unless he plots against him.If you want to make trouble, the dog's head is waiting for you!

The three Yizhuang Niangs finally moved out of the Rong family compound, and Songyin was sorting out the rosters sent by each banner when she received the news.There is a draft in February, the new emperor is enthroned, the harem is still empty, and the emperor is not an emperor.She is very careful in picking girls, and she is full of hope.There are so many beautiful girls, and Liu Ye discovered the benefits of beauties after walking around in the flowers, and none of them are better than her hard iron cleaner.Although she had turned against Lu Run, she remembered his words clearly. He had warned her that if she wanted to keep the Rong family, she would not be able to let the emperor get what she wanted.She kept in mind, just hang on like this, when he forgets and loses patience, she will come to the end of all hardships.

Improve step by step, don't rush forward.Yizhuang's departure from Rongfu was not as she expected, but it also made her very happy.She stood up and exercised her muscles and bones, and pushed the window to look outside. There was still snow on the branches, and there were green shoots emerging from a cluster of white leaves. Everything was developing in a good direction.

"Do you have anything to say about the construction office? How is that Shen Yichen?"

Su La said: "According to your instructions, he was transferred to the back barracks to support the chariots and horses. It's quite quiet now, there is no need to touch the vinegar bottle, and there is no way to turn over the waves."

She hummed, "Just leave him alone. If he wants to, he can stay. Try it for a year or so, and he can be reassured before assigning him an errand. If he can't keep it, please resign and don't keep him. , give him three or five taels of silver, and let him go."

Su La responded to the call and went to the building office to send a message.She was refreshed and went out to look at the courtyard. A batch of Yuan satin from the south of the Yangtze River had just arrived in the capital. First, she sent a cart to the palace to invite the adults to have a look.She, Ama, asked with her hands behind her back, "How much did you produce last year?"

The eunuch said: "Last year, the silk production was high. The Jiangning Weaving House added [-] new looms. There are now [-] satin machines and [-] weavers. They can produce more than [-] pieces of satin a year. Small, carefully selected [-] horses will be sent in first, and the leftovers from last year will be thrown out, and the old satin will be sold in the market, all of which are boots, and they will be sold out as soon as they are put on the cabinet." He said and glanced at Song Yin. , grinning, took out a paper bag from the front of the mandarin jacket, and held it over with both hands, "This is the most famous embroidery work in Jiangnan. It is made of fixed embroidery on Yuan satin...to make a skirt for Mr. Tong."

Song Yin took it over with a smile, and opened it to see that the satin was as black as ink, with an indigo glint glowing glisteningly.She has always thought that satin is old-fashioned and only old people would use it, but when it was embroidered on her hand, it was so beautiful that she was overwhelmed.Satin has become the best base, which sets off the peony and magpie flowers more and more. The fine stitches, the flat flowering, and the color change of each petal from light to deep are really excellent craftsmanship.

She showed it to Ama, "What a job!"

Shu Ming nodded, "Keep it, it can be used when you are 40 years old."

The corner of her mouth twitched, annoyed that Ama didn't understand beauty and didn't want to talk to him anymore, she turned around and nodded to the eunuch, "Thank you, you brought it all the way to me."

The eunuch smiled obsequiously, "As long as Director Xiao Tong likes it, the servant is only in charge of Yuan satin, and can't find other patterns. Seeing that the embroiderer is very skilled, Te Teer asked her to embroider two pieces."

She stroked it lightly, and there was a scratch on the satin because of a rough spot on her fingertip.

The eunuch said, "Your Majesty Tong has worked hard."

It turns out that this plain satin looks inconspicuous, but it is extremely delicate, and it really takes well-maintained hands to touch it.Song Yin smiled awkwardly, "I ruined a good thing."

The eunuch hurriedly said no, "You can't underestimate yourself, you are not a lady who specializes in playing piano and chess in the boudoir. You are a girl who handles affairs. Thousands of people and things need to be handled by you, and you can't raise almond tofu-style hands." .”

This eunuch can talk, and she praises people for being useful, and she doesn't take things for nothing, just loosen her fingers a little, and it will be enough for him to use up.She went back to the duty room with the satin in her arms, looked at it again and again, and liked it very much.I want to stay, but I feel that what Ama said is right. I dare to wear it when I am about 40 years old.It's a pity that there are two yuan, so I will give one to Mrs. Rong and the other to grandma.

She packed her things and picked out another piece of brocade for Mrs. Rong.After everything was packed, someone was sent to find out that Rong was not in the palace. Su La came back and brought back news that Master Rong had gone to Chengde to prepare for summer vacation and autumn.Song Yin sat silently, closed her eyes and thought about it, and hurriedly prepared these things in the beginning of spring. It can be seen that even though he became the emperor, his mind was still as small as ever.

She asked, "When did you go and when will you come back?"

Su La said: "I only set off this morning, and it will take up to 20 days. After 20 days, there will be an assessment at the guards, and he will be in charge."

She nodded. For 20 days, you can't see each other in the palace. What about outside?She has a plan, and she has to start to arrange the next thing.She is not the kind of weak girl who waits for the man to take care of everything, and she doesn't need to worry about the things she can do by herself.He is currently in a difficult situation, but he is happier than anyone else in a relaxed environment.Song Yin follows her, especially loves men, and wants him to be happy, but doesn't want him to be bent, so she will do her best to take some of the burden for him.The difficulty is only temporary, and it will get better in the future. She just wants to spend a peaceful life with him.

She found a brocade box, packed the clothes, and let Su La send them out of the palace to Rong's residence.She was very happy that her cousin Yi Zhuang had left, and for the sake of being honest, she put down her figure and made friends with the old lady and the wife again, which didn't seem to be a particularly embarrassing thing.

She was still busy with the drafting, and the daughters of officials above the fourth rank were collected into a book and sent to the Palace of Compassion and Ning for the Empress Dowager to have a look at.

The Empress Dowager is now full of ambition, the throne has finally come into the hands of her youngest son, she has nothing to worry about anymore.The only worry is the emperor's heir. The emperor Daxing has only one son behind him. The emperor has no son to shake the foundation of the country. She is anxious to give her heart a harem, so she agrees to all the brochures sent, "I don't worry if you agree. Do as you wish!"

Song Yin said, "After a while, the draft will start. There are no people in the palace who have made up their minds. They still have to work for Lafayette. Please ask Lafayette to preside over it."

The Empress Dowager nodded, "You should be careful about the canonization of the empress and the fourth concubine, especially the empress..." Glancing at her, there was something in her words, "Who do you think is suitable?"

Song Yin smiled and said: "If you talk about the nobles below and always around, the servant can still give advice to the Lafayette, but the servant above the concubine should not be a slave. In fact, the Lafayette knows it well, the Lafayette ordered the servant, the servant went to give Lafayette is doing business, let's see what kind of temperament the girl is at home, and whether it suits Lafayette."

She said so, but the people beside her listened carefully.The two concubines of the side Fujin were not one of the four concubines of Guishu Dexian. Dong Fujin was named Shen, and Fucha Fujin was named Yu. It was not their turn to be the master of the harem, and they just often came to accompany Lafayette to relieve boredom.The Empress Dowager is also interesting, she lacks one card when drawing cards, and feels uncomfortable, always talking about giving a title to some girl.This time round the draft, more and more dedication, but made the two concubines feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Originally, the emperor had never been lucky, and the reason must be because of Master Tong.Right now, the harem is expanding, and countless beauties come in. Apart from his seniority, he has no advantage at all.Tong Jiasongyin recommended them to marry Prince Yu at the beginning, but now she says that only the nobles are always around and she can make a decision, which is clearly classifying them as those low-level concubines, which is simply insulting!It's just that it's not easy to get angry in front of Lafayette for the time being, and looking back for a reason, I have to find her bad luck.

Lafayette didn't notice it at all, holding up reading glasses to look at the handwriting on the book, "This Guo Buluo is the daughter of the cabinet minister Yunhui's family..." Turning to look at the portrait, he sighed, "It's a child with a full head and a full face. " Turning to the old man in front of her, Madam Guan, said, "Let me see, why do you have the bearing of Concubine Kangtai?"

Nurse Guan leaned over to look, and nodded with a smile, "Lafayette is right, just by looking at her eyebrows and eyes, she really looks like a noble concubine."

That Concubine Kang was Grandfather Cheng's Concubine Kang, who had a deep friendship with the Empress Dowager, but only lived a short life. She passed away in the second year after Grandpa Cheng passed away, and she was only in her early thirties that year.There are very few friends in the harem who can be called friends. The queen mother has always been fond of this handkerchief handkerchief.

The Empress Dowager reported a few more names, and Song Yin wrote them down, so that someone could inquire after leaving the Compassionate Ning Palace.What pleased her the most was that the queen mother did not reveal her intention to serve as a harem. People's thoughts will change with the change of the environment. Now that the country has changed hands, there is no need to win over the Tong family anymore. Of course, the queen mother's mind is also active. .

This is very good, the emperor at least listened to the queen mother, as long as the queen mother did not let go, she would be able to escape smoothly.

When she thought so, the two concubines naturally noticed what the queen mother meant, Tong Jiasongyin wanted to be the queen, it was useless!Dilongzi in Concubine Shen's Palace immediately had a problem, and someone sent someone to tell Mrs. Tong.Song Yin heaved a sigh of relief, the regret last time seems to be able to make up for it this time.She responded, turned around and went to the dining room, filled a little chicken blood with pig casings, and happily went to Zhongcui Palace.

The status of a person has risen, and the style is naturally different.Originally, this Dong Zhuer was just a female historian in the palace, because Song Yin was eager to perfuse the emperor, so she fulfilled her.Now that she is an imperial concubine, she is no longer as cautious as she was when she was on a job, and there is nowhere that does not reveal the arrogance of a villain.

Song Yin entered Zhongcui Palace to meet her, and she bowed first according to the rules. As for what happened next, she didn't intend to be a little fuzz anyway.

Concubine Shen had the attitude of an enemy who was extremely jealous when they met each other, and she sat on the south kang with her accent, gold and jade could not cover her domineering arrogance.Because the emperor did not punish Song Yin in the previous conflict, she feels uncomfortable to this day.After returning from the Compassionate Ning Palace, Concubine Yu fanned the flames, and her anger had already burst out from every eye of the alchemy furnace.Find an excuse to send Song Yin, it may not do anything to her, let's vent your anger first.

Song Yin raised her eyes to look at Concubine Shen, she was wearing gold silk dotted with emerald tin, and a pair-breasted jacket with a honey-colored peony pattern, the white fox's front set off her cheeks, her lotus face and star eyes, if she wasn't so tricky and domineering, she would be considered She is a pretty lady.It's just that she is too sharp, with a sharp look between her eyebrows and eyes, trying to argue for a moment. She doesn't realize it, but it is actually a taboo for survival in the palace.

Song Yin looked at her with a smile, "Master Dong called me, I think I have something to order?"

Concubine Shen smiled coldly, "I didn't want to bother Master Tong, but this is a last resort. May I ask Master Tong, when will the palace be heated? According to my position, what is the daily charcoal consumption rule?"

Song Yin said: "Returning to Master Dong, the heating in the palace will last until the end of this month. As for the regulations, concubines use ten catties of red charcoal and forty catties of black charcoal every day. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has eunuchs who specialize in distributing charcoal to send it to the gate of the palace every day." ...Does the little master feel that there is something wrong?"

Concubine Shen pursed her lips and glanced at her, "According to what you said, I won't be short of expenses here, but why the fire wall is not warm, and the fire kang is not effective? It's colder than the open air if you come in outside for warmth. Three points, if it wasn't for the smoke cage, I would have froze to death."

Song Yin looked around, "Probably there is something wrong with the fire path and the furnace, and I will send the Guanfang Yamen to check."

She was about to leave, but Concubine Shen called her to stop her, and said in a strange way: "Your Majesty Tong is really precious, and you have a knack for being an official, and you will shirk whenever you encounter problems. I haven't seen what went wrong yet, I was in a hurry to find the security office in charge. Isn’t that yamen in charge of sweeping and repairing the house? Your backdoor yamen is in charge of the entire Forbidden City’s summer ice and winter charcoal. Why don’t you take a look first?” She was sitting on the kang, wearing a Mi Zhu's armored hand patted the edge of the kang, "Master Tong, let's do it yourself, it will appear that you put all your heart and soul into your work. Otherwise, there will always be suspicion of evasion, that would be so ugly!"

Song Yin was overjoyed, asking her to do it was just to humiliate her, but she was looking forward to this opportunity.If you really want to provoke this master to beat people like last time, not to mention demotion and punishment, it is inevitable to stop and think about your mistakes.It seems a little unkind to provoke her and use her for his own selfishness.It's still as good as this, if she was on a business trip and accidentally got hurt, she could justifiably ask for a leave of absence to recuperate, and drive her horse out of the city to see Rong Shi.

She has a small calculation in her heart, and she is willing to do anything she is asked to do.Xing agreed in a hurry, and asked the eunuch to take him outside to find the hearth of the kang.The hearth was big, she lifted up her robe and tucked it around her waist, and threw Kun Qiu to Sura behind her, wrapped her braids around her neck, and crawled in with her sleeves lifted.

Concubine Shen was a little dazed watching from the side, this little manager came from a prominent family, and was pampered like a jewel since she was a child, she didn't expect to get into the cold stove like this.She thought she would refuse, but she just took the opportunity to get angry and make a fuss, but she agreed so readily.A good lady, with a fearless appearance, she didn't know how to continue.

She looked at the warm pocket, and she picked out the ashes that had accumulated in it for two months, making it dusty.She no longer dared to imagine what she would look like when she came out, so she covered her mouth and nose with a veil and kept away from it, a little bit unbearable to look directly at.After a while, she heard a severe cough coming from inside, and she turned pale with fright. The stove is connected to the south kang and the wall and floor heating. The stove is so big that it can accommodate two people, let alone one.The hearth is full of smog, if the ashes are sucked into the brain and choked to death, then something serious will happen.

She hastily assigned the eunuch to pull him out, but Tong Jiasong, with dark eyebrows and eyes, could no longer see his facial features clearly.The whole body rolled with the same color as his face, like a dirty cat, or a dirty cat that passed out.

Concubine Shen shouted in fright, "Send to the imperial physician, quickly pass on to the imperial physician!"

The Zhongcui Palace was in chaos, and the maids and eunuchs ran wildly. This is a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they will be their immediate superiors in the future. If something happens, they will die.So those who passed on the imperial doctor passed on the imperial doctor, and those who reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the imperial doctor came, Shu Ming also arrived, and he walked in and yelled, "My girl, what's wrong with you!" Because he lost his beloved daughter, That fear was deeply buried in my heart.Encountering this kind of situation again, it almost killed him.With a livid face, he grabbed the imperial physician and pushed him forward, "Show me quickly, you must save your life."

The imperial doctor rolled up his sleeves and stuck the needles. Song Yin was in so much pain that he called his mother, but he didn't dare to speak out.She has to pretend, pretending to be very serious, so that things can be handled easily.

Shu Ming didn't know her plan, and was so anxious that his intestines almost broke.Seeing that she was so dirty and lifeless, she immediately became angry.It's not easy to blame Concubine Shen, so she turned her head and asked the eunuch: "What's going on? What happened just now, I want to go back to the emperor, and I ask the emperor to make the decision."

The eunuch trembled and said: "The heating of Zhongcui Palace is not working, our master sent Mr. Tong to come..."

"If there is nothing to do, go to the Guanfang Yamen, why do you ask her to do it? You are all dead?" He scolded and went to check, and asked the imperial doctor's condition, "How is it? Why are you still awake?"

The imperial doctor said: "I think it's because the choking is too severe and it's broken. This matter is big or small, and I don't dare to guarantee it. If it's light, I'll wake up in a while, if it's heavy, it's not easy even if I wake up. If you accumulate ashes, you will cough in the future. What's more important... Choking hurts your brain, and you just fall asleep like this, and you can't wake up."

Shuming made a sound, his legs trembled and he could hardly stand up, "I...how can I explain to her..."

After being diagnosed and treated here for a long time, the news finally reached the emperor. He left a group of military ministers and rushed to Zhongcui Palace. When he saw Songyin, he couldn't recognize Songyin. He felt sore and anxious, and squatted in front of her couch. He called her, "Eryin, what's the matter with you?" He patted her face, rolled up his arrow sleeves to wipe off the dust on her face, but there were still residues on the eye sockets and nose, and he couldn't get it off no matter what.He shook her, "Wake up, I'm calling you, do you hear me?"

She didn't move, knowing that the fire was coming, and it would be enough to boil it for a while.

Shu Ming burst into tears, "I have four daughters, the eldest daughter died early, the third daughter entered the palace to serve the late emperor, and the fourth daughter is still young, only these two girls are my arms. In case something goes wrong, please forgive me. Serve me again, Zhunchen will retire and return home."

The emperor just wanted to comfort him, but of course he had to punish the perpetrator severely.The incident happened in Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Shen couldn't escape being involved.He has countless grievances between them, and it is nothing more than Concubine Shen's jealousy.How can a concubine who has never served her bed be so jealous?He stared at her viciously, "Why did I give you this title? Be cautious, be cautious; There are dozens of maids and eunuchs in the palace, and none of them are very energetic. They want to go all the way to the House of Internal Affairs and ask Yuanwailang to light the stove for you? You are cruel, and you are the most indispensable in this palace. It's a person like you, it's useless to stay!"

Concubine Shen cried bitterly, "This servant is just playing around with Mrs. Tong, but I didn't expect her to take it seriously. This servant has absolutely no intention of harming her. Long live Lord, please enlighten me."

"What is Mingjian? All I know is that something happened to her in your furnace, and it's all your fault..."

Song Yin guessed that it was almost done, and Concubine Shen should be questioned if she continued to pretend.After all, she is not a person who holds grudges, as her Ama said, she is fierce in her mouth.I was angry at the time, but I forgot about it afterwards, so I still don't want Concubine Shen to be demoted because of this. After all, if there are many women, the emperor will have an extra possibility of empathy, which is good for her.

She groaned, "Ernie..."

The imperial doctor's treatment did not improve for a long time, Shuming thought that this time it was more than auspicious, and was eager to bite off a piece of Concubine Shen's flesh, when he suddenly heard Song Yin's voice, he squatted down to look at her in surprise, and said with a mournful face: "Are you awake? I often hear people praise you for being smart, it turns out that those people are blind, your brain is so bad, go home early and peel the garlic!"

She coughed twice, shook her head, pretended to be weak, and was speechless.

The emperor turned to look at her, "What do you want me to say about you?"

She raised her eyelids, and her originally clear eyes became foggy and lost their brilliance.The emperor was stunned for a moment, and she slowly closed her eyes, ignoring people anymore.

Now it's over, maybe the brain is damaged, and I don't recognize people anymore.The emperor frowned and looked at her, and Shuming begged for orders, "The master has also seen it. Whether Songyin can slow down this time is entirely up to good luck. I'm afraid she will take a leave of absence. The draft in February may not be able to host. Please allow her to go home Cultivation, let’s see the progress, if he recovers, he will enter the palace to serve the Master.”

There is no other way to do things now, the emperor nodded, "Since he is awake, it is finally auspicious. Let's take care of it, don't rush to get on duty, the body is important."

Song Yin closed her eyes, secretly elated, to prevent her from laughing, she turned her head and buried her face in the mattress.

Later, it was carried back, and the bag of chicken blood was not used, so it was thrown away halfway.She couldn't bear the excitement in her heart, as if she had seen victory in sight.She did this for the concubines in the harem, and if she was injured on duty, what else could the emperor say?She is a meritorious minister, and she should be well-educated.If you are well-trained, you will have a good day. If you are not well-cultivated, then you can pretend to be stupid, squint your eyes and mouth all your life, and the emperor will no longer miss her.

She planned well, but Shuming didn't know it. Seeing her daughter become like this, she was very sad.Instruct Donghua Gate to prepare the carriage, and send someone back to pass a message, saying that the second girl has suffered a slight injury, and she will go home for two days to recuperate.Afraid that the old lady would be worried, he thought about it and said: "Tell the wife, keep it from the old lady, and just pick two reliable people to take care of it."

The long follower took the order, and went back to report the letter first after hitting the horse.Lying in the carriage, Songyin felt a little guilty. She was still full of joy just now, but in the blink of an eye she felt sorry for Ama again.She failed Ama's cultivation for her love. If she really let go, Ama's hard work would be in vain, and the inheritance of the Tong family would be transferred from the eldest room to the second and third rooms.Songyin is aware of her shortcomings, and she dares to challenge, but even if she succeeds, she will still consider many things later and hesitate to move forward.But right now, he can't help yearning, he is free for the time being, and he is only one step away from Rongshi, if he goes to find him, what kind of ecstasy will he feel?Maybe it was just to meet him, and when she did, if conditions did not permit, she would still go back to the House of Internal Affairs, but she was more determined, and no one could change that.

She began to consider whether to let Ama know, not to mention that she was afraid of frightening her parents, but she was afraid that she would not be able to get away.Just as he was hesitating, the car had already arrived at the door, and he heard Enie trying to restrain himself from sobbing, heartbroken, "I can't live anymore, this is killing me..."

Ama stopped her, "Be careful not to let the old lady hear it, and make the whole family panic, okay?"

The wife swallowed and choked, "I handed my daughter into your hands, and you said you would keep her beard and hair. Did you do it? You still have the face to yell at me? Shut up as soon as possible!"

Shu Ming was so scolded that he couldn't refute it, he thought he was really ashamed, he didn't take good care of the child, a lively girl was hurt like this, he felt sorry for himself.But what to do, when she came out, her face was completely changed, she only knew that her name was Er Nie, she looked really bad, now she had to resign herself to fate.

Songyin felt more and more ashamed when she heard Ernie complaining about Ama.They have always been affectionate, but lately they are always arguing about her and Rangyu. It is their unfilial piety for children not to let their parents worry about it.There is no way to let Yu, as for himself, it is all caused by selfishness.She called out softly, "Don't blame Ama."

Madam said, "Yinzi, you know someone, so it's all right now?"

Song Yin nodded, "I don't have a big deal, I just want to scare Mrs. Dong, she keeps running on me, I want to hurt her once."

His wife Heshi bowed to the sky, "God bless, fortunately it was a false alarm."

But Shuming got angry, and said loudly, "You think I'm old and want to scare you to death, what's the matter? You won't talk to me first. Don't worry about the pale face. I said, why are you so stupid, you are a cat, you are too busy to be in a hurry." Looked her up and down, "You are ashamed to lie down, and don't get up for me!"

Songyin stood up with her tail between her legs, and bowed her head to listen to Ama's admonition.The wife protected her daughter and smoothed things over and said: "I've been squeezed out by people all the time, why don't we take revenge? Let her know how powerful she is, so she dares to bully us in the future! You're not happy that Er Niu is doing well right now, you just saw her become a fool." Are you happy? Now that the Long Live Lord has granted leave, it’s time to rest for a while. I have been in the palace for three years, how many times have I slept soundly at home? I wake up at Yinshi when I rest at Haishi, and I can’t see anyone during the day. live."

Shu Ming was not convinced, "I have been on the job for 40 to [-] years, am I still alive?"

The wife said: "You are a man, compared with a girl's family? You really treat your daughter like a son!"

Said that there was no way to fight, but he couldn't fight against his wife, so he waved his hand angrily, "I don't care, it made me worry for nothing, my legs are still shaking right now! If you want to rest, just rest, I'm sure, just This is promising." After saying that, he walked away.

Song Yin glanced at E Nie, "Ama is annoyed... I'd better go back to the House of Internal Affairs!"

The wife said: "Don't worry about him, you will die by yourself, and you will not allow others to live. You just rest, and you will have a chance. After one winter, the girl will mend at home, and she will be white and fat. My girl will do it. Why don’t you even take care of eating when you’re running an errand.” Let her go back to the kang and lie down comfortably, “I’ll go to the kitchen and have them cook you a cup of ganoderma lucidum and black-bone chicken soup. Poor thing, no I just want to take a break, so I have to make myself look like a mud bodhisattva. I blame Er Nie for not giving birth to a son, which makes you tired."

On the contrary, Song Yin didn't know what to say, she was playing tricks on herself, and she was very ashamed to ask his wife to protect her like this.

The wife stroked her hair with a smile, raised her hand and saw that her palms were black, she let out an ouch, and called Ding Maer, "Get some water and let her wash it. She's still sleeping on the kang when she's rolled to the ground, it's strange." Your Ama will scold you."

Song Yin disheartened and said yes, the wife has gone, and Ding Nuer and Jin Nuer came, and earnestly asked: "Are you all right?"

She smiled and said nothing.Ding Nuer looked back and complained, "It's so easy for the child to rest for a while, what's wrong? If it were me, I wouldn't want to complain anyway, and I would provide her with good food and drink."

The two nuns regarded her as their own daughter and watched over her everywhere.Ask the girls to prepare water and let Ya'er wash her well.Ya'er poured water on her with a water spout, and said in a low voice, "You came in sideways, I thought you would fail, it scared me."

Song Yin sticks out her tongue, "If I don't do this, I can't get away. Ya'er, how old are you?"

Ya'er thought for a while, "I'm one year younger than you, seventeen."

"Is there anyone you like?"

Ya'er blushed, "Why are you asking this, you want to dismiss me?"

Song Yin covered her face with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "I want to let you out, the servant outside the second gate will follow you, if there is anyone you like, you can choose, how about it?"

Ya'er blinked her big eyes in surprise, "Am I also like the emperor choosing concubines?"

Song Yin nodded, "Not bad?"

Ya'er smiled brightly, "That's right, you've really bought me. Tell me, I have to do something for you, don't be a stranger."

This is an exchange of equal value, which is tacit to each other.Song Yin said she wanted a horse and a man's clothes.When others asked about it later, they said that she had caught a cold, caught a cold, and couldn't see anyone.She had to take the opportunity to go to Rehe to find Rongshi.She is a bird in a cage, if she doesn't flop around, she won't be able to get in, and she will be far away in two steps.So she had to fight for it. It was only more than 400 miles from Beijing to Chengde. Hurry up and get there in two days.

Although Rehe is called Rehe, it is actually not hot at all.This place has four distinct but not very distinct seasons, cool in summer and relatively warm in winter, making it a rare blessed place on earth.There is an emperor's residence in Rehe, and he moved here during the summer to listen to government affairs, and the entire court carried it with him.The emperors of all dynasties had such an arrangement, and the new emperor was no exception, so they sent people to make arrangements first, spend the whole summer in the summer resort, and then come again in autumn, just to practice the riding and shooting of the Eight Banners.

The arrangement was a little urgent, and someone was sent to handle it just after the new year. The new emperor had his own intentions.Rong Shi thought that at least there would be an accident like an ambush, but there was no such thing as a rival in love is the most difficult type of person in the world to deal with, he hates it so badly, but he can't cure him to death in one go.If he was still the original Prince Yu, he would still be able to mess around, but now that he is the emperor, he will be timid about revenge.So many pairs of eyes were watching to see how the emperor would run on people.Their beating on the Buku field was famous in the capital. When they fought, he could feel that he might not lose, but he was just pretending to be injured for the sake of making trouble, and he had good intentions for Songyin.But the higher a person climbs, the more things he has to avoid. Fame and fortune bind his hands and feet. He wants to be a wise king, and he can't compete with his courtiers all day long.If you just look at his heart for Song Yin, it seems to come from the bottom of his heart. If one day he has to quit, he can rest assured.Since he really loves her, he will definitely give her happiness.

But if you are happy, you may not be wronged.Among the queens of all dynasties, which one is not wronged?The mother must be broad-minded, and her mother's family should not be promoted too high, lest she be suspected of being monopolized by her relatives; the man gets half of the others, so as not to lose the reputation of being the only favorite of the house.So what's so good about being a queen?When it comes to caring for his daughter-in-law, Rong Shi feels that he still has the upper hand, Song Yin can run amok at home, if she wants him to die standing up, he won't die sitting down.Can it be done by changing the emperor?If you can't do it, just admit defeat obediently, don't punish those moths.

He has been in Rehe for six or seven days, and he has almost done all the errands that should be done, so he ran around the Mulan paddock right away.This place has beautiful scenery, Dianjiangtai, Jiangjun Paozi, Shili Gallery, dotted with rivers and lakes, forests and grasslands are intertwined, and it is also a magnificent scene in winter.

He raised his whip and instructed, "Wrap up the crossing when the deer is sentinel, let the dogs chase it, and drive the deer to the high ground. Hunting at this moment is just for a good look, and then we will unite with foreign feudal clans. The Eight Banners can't beat the Mongols. Long live the face." There is no light."

The accompanying eunuch responded, "According to your order, General Paozi's fences to the south have been dismantled, and now we are raising them, and there will be more living animals in autumn." It’s the time when black storks and golden eagles are the easiest to catch. Last autumn, the storks were not hunted, and all the stuff was saved, so the servants sent someone to bring nets, and put two for the master to play with.”

Manchus are interested in boiling eagles and building birdcages, but he doesn't like playing with that very much.He took the bow in a state of desperation and saw a few birds flying over in the sky. He shot the bow and saw that the arrow pierced the blue clouds.The guard picked it up on his horse and presented it to him. He glanced at it casually. It was a big bustard. "Stew soup or braise?"

The eunuch was speechless for a while, "This bird is heavy, has a lot of meat, and it's good braised."

He looked down at the eunuch's waist, smiled inexplicably, turned his horse and went back to the villa.

It seems that the sentence that the bird is heavy and the meat is too much has become his laughing stock again. The eunuch chased after him with drooping eyebrows.He is a good archer and horse, his figure is like a rainbow, he gallops across the wilderness and arrives at the other end in a blink of an eye.
