Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1124
Prince Zhuang's mansion, the upper room in the inner courtyard.

Sixteen Fujin was sitting on the kang with a soft face and his right hand resting on his lower abdomen.

She began to show her bosom, but it was not so obvious because she was fat in winter clothes.She has already made a wish before the Buddha, as long as the baby is an elder brother, she will let go of all resentments, and spend the rest of her life eating fast and chanting Buddha's name in return for the Buddha's kindness.

Not far from her, sitting a little Gege carved in powder and jade, was playing lively with a rattle. This is the Sigege produced by Sixteen Fujin.

Sixteen Fujin looked at Si Gege with a more loving expression on his face.

She has been married to the sixteenth elder brother for more than ten years and has six children. With only this bit of flesh and blood left in front of her eyes, it naturally hurts like an eyeball.

"It's good to have a woman and a son. If I am lucky... I will finally give up after this time..." Sixteen Fujin lowered his head, touched his stomach, and whispered to himself.

Sixteen Fujin was meditating, but Little Gege had already raised the rattle, stood up unsteadily, and was about to pounce on her.The nurse next to her was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped her, holding her in her arms.

Sixteen Fujin raised his head and saw his daughter waving her small arms for him to hug, he couldn't help but smile, and just about to speak, he heard footsteps coming from the yard, accompanied by voices of greetings.

At this moment, I saw Elder Sixteen frowning and walking in quickly from outside.

Sixteen Fujin got up to greet her, but when she looked at her husband, her body froze.Brother Sixteen looked at her with a little coldness and inquiry.

The sixteenth Fujin was a little overwhelmed, and scenes of the past flashed before his eyes.Back then, when she first married into elder brother's house, the man in front of her had looked at her with such eyes.

Brother Sixteen stared at her, his eyes slowly moved from her face to her stomach, all doubts settled down, and turned into silence.

"Ama..." Si Gege stared at Elder Sixteen with big black eyes, and her immature voice broke the oppression of the room.

Brother Sixteen did not take the little daughter over to tease her as usual, but waved his hand to signal the nanny to step back with Si Gege in her arms.

The sixteenth Fujin has been relieved, feeling uneasy.

In half a month, it will be Hongpu's wedding day, and everyone in the palace is busy.Only she, the hostess, handed over all the errands, and invited two concubines to take care of her, so she could raise her baby with peace of mind.

Could it be because of this that Brother Sixteen was annoyed?
When Shiliu Fujin thought of this, her heart was filled with soreness, it wasn't because she was sincerely lazy, she was a little tired a few years ago, her fetus was gassy, ​​and something big happened, which made her have to be careful.

No matter how good a virtuous name is, it cannot compare to one's own flesh and blood.She had already mentioned it to her husband, thinking that he would be considerate.

Seeing that she was silent, Elder Sixteen let out a long breath, calmed down his tone, and said, "What's going on with those industries in Qingyuan City, Zhili?"

Hearing the words, Shiliu Fujin trembled, his face turned pale, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look into Shiliu elder brother's eyes.

Brother Sixteen was anxious, but he was concerned about her body, so he couldn't be surprised, stepped forward, helped her to sit by the kang, and said softly: "Is that Brother Jiu's property? Sister-in-law Jiu begged you, Or did Concubine Yi beg you?"

Sixteen Fujin's eyes were already red, he raised his head, and said after a long while: "My aunt begged me, I wanted to tell my father... but..."

Although he was not surprised by this result, but hearing his wife Qingkou admitting this moment, Elder Sixteen still felt a hint of anger in his heart.

He thought that the husband and wife were one, so he handed over the family peace of mind to his wife. He didn't expect her to block such a big job without telling him.

"But what? But I'm the emperor's lackey. In order to flatter Shangyi, I'm afraid I won't help Brother Jiu, but will hand over Brother Jiu's property to the public? Or is it that the world is difficult now, and not only Brother Jiu's life and death are unpredictable , even Fifth Brother is walking on thin ice. Apart from you, a good niece, no one can help Grand Concubine Yi?" Sixteenth Brother said lightly.

He has been in the palace for many years, so he has seen Concubine Yi's eloquence.He just didn't expect that his wife would hide this matter for two years.

Sixteen Fujin could hear dissatisfaction in her husband's words, but she didn't know how to explain.

Concubine Yi's words were tactful, but the general meaning was exactly what Elder Sixteen said.

I saw her weeping and said: "They are all concubines. I know that I don't want to have anything to do with my aunt and cousins, but I still took this hot yam. I also know that as a concubine, I am not qualified to be a concubine." Prince Fujin, thanks to his aunt's arrangement, he became the concubine's concubine. The few years when I first entered the palace...it was really difficult, and it was thanks to my aunt's care that I survived..." In the end, it was already I can't cry.

Brother Sixteen saw her excited, took her hand, and said: "Okay, don't cry. I was wrong. Your surname is Guo Luoluo, blood relatives plus kindness, and you have always thought of the good of others." , since she spoke, how could you refuse?"

Sixteen Fujin sobbed, looked at the heavy-faced Elder Sixteen, and said, "Did I cause you trouble? What my aunt said was really pitiful, she only said that it was under my name, and begged me to take care of it for a few years. If Brother Nine If he can survive this calamity safely, then he will give this property to him so that the whole family will not be useless; if brother Jiu...if there is an emergency, these properties will add makeup to Da Gege...I have no desire to be greedy for money, It’s just that this is really pitiful…”

Although Elder Sixteen was upset in his heart, he didn't say much, he just asked, "Then Mao Renxing from Qingyuan is Ninth Brother's slave?"

Sixteen Fujin nodded, and said: "According to my aunt, Brother Nine was a servant who was taken outside in the early years. Because he has never entered Beizi's mansion, it is unknown. It is the concubine's side. If I hadn't heard from my aunt, I would still I thought he was a servant of the old prince."

Brother Sixteen gritted his teeth and said, "Since Brother Nine chose him, he must be employed."

Sixteen Fujin didn't notice any difference, and said in harmony: "I've met him twice, and he looks smart, and Director Cui also praised him twice."

Brother Sixteen lowered his eyes, covered the strange color in it, looked at Fujin's belly, and said softly: "Okay, I will leave these matters to the master from now on, you can only raise your baby with peace of mind, and give birth to a little brother in peace. , is your luck and mine!"

Sixteen Fujin originally thought that her husband would get angry, but she didn't expect that she would just pass by so lightly, she just felt overjoyed, nodded vigorously and said: "Well, it's all up to you!"

Brother Sixteen smiled, and found an excuse to go back to the front yard.

As soon as he left the second door, he saw Cui Houwen, the Second Chief of the Palace, hurried over.

This person is Cui Hongwen mentioned by Xie Tianlai and Cao Yong. Because he avoided the taboo of the names of the two elder brothers, he has changed his name to "Houwen".

Seeing Elder Sixteen, Cui Houwen hurriedly stopped and bowed to pay his respects.

The sixteenth elder brother's face was frosty, and he said: "Fu Jin needs to rest, and in the future, don't disturb Fujin with outside affairs!"

Cui Houwen was astonished when he heard this, his eyes could not help showing a bit of anxiety.

Brother Sixteen didn't look at him any more, he just said, "Come with me!"

Cui Houwen carefully followed Elder Sixteen to the flower hall in the front yard.

As soon as he sat down in the flower hall, Elder Sixteen raised his voice to call for people, then pointed at Cui Houwen and said, "Pull it down, hit!"

Such a shocking change made everyone in charge of the front yard tremble with fear.

The chief housekeeper, Zhao Feng, was closing the warehouse for the festival ceremony, when he heard the movement, he also rushed over.

He is an eunuch, and it is not convenient to show his face outside. Cui Houwen, the second manager of the palace, is actually used by sixteenth elder brother as the chief manager.

Cui Houwen is knowledgeable and knows that Zhao Feng is an old man who has served the prince for half his life, he is not comparable to him, so he is very respectful in front of Zhao Feng.For this reason, the personal relationship between the two of them in the past two years is considered good.

When he arrived at the flower hall, Cui Houwen had already been beaten dozens of times, and the blood on his lower body had already seeped through the cotton-padded clothes.

It has been many years since the master got so angry, Zhao Feng didn't think of pleading for Cui Houwen and then getting angry.In his opinion, Cui Houwen had something wrong, which made the master angry.

He glared at Cui Houwen fiercely, looked at the horrified stewards around him and said, "Without the order of the prince, whoever dares to send a message to the inner house and alarm Fujin's master to raise a baby will be killed!"

Several people responded quickly, Zhao Feng then entered the flower hall lightly, seeing that the anger on the face of the sixteenth elder brother was still there, he said in a low voice: "It's just a slave, if there is any disobedience, send it away Yes, master, why bother to get angry with him?"

"Far away..." Elder Sixteen repeated, ordered to stay outside, and dragged Cui Houwen up.

Cui Houwen knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"A letter from Qingyuan!" Elder Sixteen said with a cold snort.

Trembling, Cui Houwen took out a letter from his sleeve and offered it with both hands.

The sixteenth elder brother asked Zhao Feng to take it over, opened it, and read it. It was also about the Mao Renxing case, but it blamed Zhu Zhilian, the prefect of Baoding, on the fault. Please come forward early to protect Mao Renxing, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry. Bite, lose face of the palace.

Elder Sixteen sneered in his heart, what kind of master and what kind of slaves he raises, it really is true.

Brother Nine is now in the northwest, and he is regarded as under house arrest. A servant in charge can still become a local tyrant.

"Since you are loyal, I will entrust this matter to you. Take a few people down and gather together Fujin's 'property'." Elder Sixteen said flatly.

After hearing this, Director Cui quickly raised his head, a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "What the lord means is to let the servants to protect Mao Renxing..."

"You nonsense!" Elder Sixteen glared at him, and said, "From now on, Mao Renxing has nothing to do with the palace!"

Forget it, since his wife stopped the trouble, even if he said he was innocent, few people would believe him, so he would be treated as a villain...

Since the sixteenth elder brother had his life, Cui Houwen took dozens of boards, so he took a carriage and rushed to Qingyuan that day.

When he arrived in Zhili, the small official sent by Baoding Mansion to Shuntian Mansion to inquire whether Mao Renxing was in the banner also returned.In his early years, Mao Renxing was registered as a civilian, but in the first year of Yongzheng, he was transferred to a banner, and served as a coat under the door of Zhuang Wangfu.

Zhu Zhilian had no choice but to transfer the case to the Zhili Council with a dark face.

In the Governor's Mansion, Cao Yong took the sixteenth elder brother's personal letter from Cui Houwen.

Although Elder Sixteen's tone was relaxed and teasing, Cao Yong frowned, sighed after a while, and said in a low voice: "Master Sixteen, you are becoming more and more loving..."
