Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 971 Fright
When Mrs. Zhao Jia returned to the East Mansion, Jing Hui and Su Xin got the news, and they all came to wait in the mother-in-law's room.

Mrs. Zhao Jia wanted to show off, and said that when Mrs. Li took the fourth sister and the fifth sister to the uncle's mansion for entertainment in a few days, she would open the brocade box she brought back and show the two daughters-in-law the gorgeous bracelet, and The color of amber and coral above.

In fact, Chu Yu was only speaking modestly, since it was something she kept, the pieces of amber and coral were no worse than the ones on the bracelet.The amber is golden and very translucent; the coral is bright red, not too big and top grade.

"The eldest wife asked me to make buttons. It's a pity to make buttons for such a precious thing. I still make earrings. The amber beads are ground to a smaller size and can be made into a string of bracelets. It's just that the bracelets are heavy." Zhao Jia Holding a piece of amber material, Shi said to the two daughter-in-laws.

Jinghui said with a smile: "Although the fourth and fifth younger sisters are not as good as Ji, it is a big deal to go out to meet people. Both the uncle and sister-in-law love the younger sisters. The daughter-in-law is their own sister-in-law, so they can't just watch. Both the uncle and the sister-in-law The sister-in-law gave amber and coral, and the daughter-in-law also made fun of it, so she gave an amber ring and a coral ring."

Zhao Jia originally thought that Jinghui, as the elder sister-in-law, would have to give the two little girls a pair of twisted gold bracelets.If it is thinner, two pairs will not need much gold, five or six taels will be enough.When going out, wearing a pair of bracelets looks thin, so it is better to wear two more pairs of bracelets on the wrist, so as not to look shabby.

Unexpectedly, she spoke nicely, but she was only willing to give two rings.

Not to mention the fineness of amber and coral, the gold of the two rings is only a few dollars.

Although they are all on their own, but they are the daughter and fourth sister on the one hand, and the daughter-in-law on the other, so there are naturally some differences.

Before Zhao Jia could lower her face, she heard Su Xin say: "Since everyone is giving color to the two younger sisters, the daughter-in-law will also do her best. The velvet flowers that the younger sisters wear when they go out will be handed over to the daughter-in-law. Although they are not worth a few Money, but fortunately, it is made internally, and it is now fashionable to play tricks."

Mrs. Zhao Jia was disturbed by the "stinginess" of the two daughters-in-law, and her interest faded. She said with a smile: "You are all good sisters-in-law. I will accept your love for the two sisters!"

At this moment, the fourth sister and the fifth sister also arrived.

Mrs. Zhao Jia stared at the bracelet, amber, and coral materials for a long time, then said to the fourth sister and fifth son: "This is a gift from your uncle and sister-in-law. It is for you to go out. Your second sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law give it back to you." After adding rings and velvet flowers, why not thank the two sister-in-laws quickly."

The fourth sister and the fifth son were still confused, but they still obediently walked in front of Jinghui and Su Xin, bent their knees and said in unison: "Thank you, the second sister-in-law, and thank you, the fifth sister-in-law."

Jinghui and Suxin pulled each other up one by one, Zhao Jiashi couldn't help snorting when she saw their enthusiasm.

Jinghui and Suxin remained calm, but they both put down the hands of the fourth sister and fifth son.The sister-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other, found an excuse, and left together.

Zhao Jia was still thinking about letting his fourth sister pick corals, wishing they would go down sooner, so he let them go out.

When the eyes fell back on the brocade box, Zhao Jiashi had changed his mind.

Fourth sister is just a child, why let her choose?She can't be the master of this mother-in-law?
Amber looks warm when worn in winter, but coral is produced in the sea, which is relatively scarce, and the red one is also festive.

"Keep away the coral ones, and give the amber ones to your sister." Zhao Jia said to Si'er.

The fourth sister hesitated for a moment, then said: "Mother, my daughter has a dark complexion, so I can't wear red, my sister has a fair complexion, and she looks even better against the coral. How about giving my sister the coral set, and my daughter using the amber set?"

After hearing this, Zhao Jia looked at the slim Wu'er beside her, and felt even more displeased.

"What are you talking about? There is a banquet at Liguo's uncle's mansion, and it will only be ten days. If you have time to grind your teeth with me, why don't you hurry up and make some female celebrities. Tomorrow, I will have someone cut your clothes. The purse you are wearing cannot be used outside. Yes, you have to do it yourself. Time is in a hurry, you should prepare it earlier." Zhao Jia said to the fourth sister impatiently.

The fourth sister was a little afraid of her mother. Hearing what she said, she pursed her mouth tightly and didn't dare to say anything else.

East across the courtyard, the upper room.

The maid brought the tea down, and only Jing Hui and Su Xin's sister-in-law were talking in the room.

"The old lady seems to be annoyed, and she might blame me for being petty." Jing Hui said slowly.

Su Xin was holding tea, took a sip of it, and replied: "What I gave was only velvet flowers. If sister-in-law is stingy, wouldn't I be even more stingy?"

Jinghui lowered her head slowly, feeling puzzled in her heart, not knowing what her mother-in-law thought, but actually thinking of letting the two go out to meet people.Wouldn't it be safer to wait quietly until the year of the draft, find a relationship and sign up, and get married by yourself?
If you go out to meet people, the fourth sister is okay, but she is virtuous and virtuous; the fifth son is pretty, she is already a beauty, and her words are fearsome, but she might not be able to put her name on it.

Suxin has been in the palace for many years, and she is the most flaming Jingjing.

Zhao Jia's surprise made Jinghui a little confused, but she saw it for real.The mother-in-law didn't change her temper and staged a drama of treating the concubine's daughter as her own daughter, but because of the precedent of Prince Pingjun Fujin and Cao Yi, she was thinking about clinging to the powerful.

As Jinghui talked, she couldn't help worrying about Wu'er's fate.Seeing Wu'er lonely, Xu Shi thought of when she was young, which made her pay more attention to Wu'er.

It would be great if the husband was here. The husband treats siblings the most affectionately. I think he will love the two younger sisters. He will not let the mother-in-law arrange...

Outside the Anding Gate, the inner courtyard of Prince Yong's Mansion.

After hearing what the imperial physician said, knowing that Fu Hui was fine, Si Fujin was relieved.The fourth elder brother was not there, she was too busy staring at the internal and external affairs.

Unexpectedly, Fuhui was ill again, how could he not make people anxious.

Fuhui has been weaker than ordinary babies since she landed, and she has been crying day and night; now that she is one year old, and how many good medicines she has used, Sifujin is also used to having such a medicine pot in the mansion.

According to the rules, if Fuhui was ill, Nianbian Fujin's envoy would tell Si Fujin, and Si Fujin's envoy would invite the imperial physician to come over for diagnosis and treatment.

Unexpectedly, when the fourth elder brother was there, Nian Fang Fujin was gentle and obedient, and also humble and polite in front of Si elder brother; unexpectedly, when the fourth elder brother was not in Beijing, Nian's behavior became "perverse".

Not only did he not report to Si Fujin, but he sent someone out of the mansion to invite an imperial doctor who was not commonly used in the palace; he also sent his confidant to go out of the city to find the fourth elder brother.

In this way, not only did he not take Sifujin seriously, but he also didn't believe in Sifujin.

I don't know what to say when I make a fuss in front of the fourth elder brother.For more than ten years in the same house, Si Fujin has known that Nian's temperament is always weak, and in fact he will not suffer at all.

With the fact that Fuhui is ill now, I don't know what she will attack?
Earlier, there was no shortage of such precedents.

It's just that the other concubines of the fourth elder brother were designed at that time, and Si Fujin was just watching the excitement; today is different, I always feel that my eyelids are constantly picking, I really want something to happen, which makes people feel uneasy...

Outside the Nanyuan Ranch, Brother Sixteen looked up at the sky, it was the end of the month, and there was only a thin crescent moon in the sky.It was dark in the distance, even if it was a carriage, it was worrying to drive so late.

"Fourth brother, do you have to drive at night? Although they are all official roads, the ones in the east don't need to be flat in the south. That's also unsettling. It's best to wait until dawn to return, and it's not too late." Sixteen Ah Brother persuaded.

The fourth elder brother shook his head and said, "Go back early and rest assured."

It's the beginning of Hai (nine o'clock in the evening), starting from Nanyuan, and after arriving at Nancheng, walk along the official road outside the city wall to Xizhimen.When you get to Xizhimen, you don't have to wait long before you open the gate to let the water truck pass.

When he got the news that his son was "in critical condition", his first worry was not Fuhui, but Nian's body being able to take the blow.

He told himself from the bottom of his heart that he was by no means a clingy person, and that he doted on Nian Shi only because of her unbreakable natal relatives behind her.Even if he cared about Nianshi, it was just to make women happy.

He told himself so, but when he heard that his son was ill, Nian's weak figure floated in front of his eyes, and he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

He didn't know whether he was sad because of his son, or because of his concubine.

Until the sixteenth elder brother said goodbye and got into the carriage, the fourth elder brother still hadn't figured out what was going on.

In the middle of the night, the sound of horseshoes on the official road became louder and louder.

In front of the carriage, several people rode on horseback holding lights to lead the carriage.

Suddenly, with a miserable meow, the carriage jolted violently and stopped.

The fourth elder brother felt a raw pain on his forehead. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was wet and sticky. He wiped it with his hand. If it's not blood, what is it?He held the Buddhist beads on his wrist vigorously, lifted the curtain, and asked, "What happened?"

The coachman's face was pale, and he stammered to explain what had happened.

It turned out that there was a stray cat crossing the road just now, and the carriage was not in a hurry to avoid it and ran over the stray cat to death.

The fourth elder brother has believed in Buddhism for many years, and he has a kind of compassion. Hearing that the wild cat died miserably, he also trembled in his heart.

Putting down the curtain of the carriage, the carriage continued to move forward, and the fourth elder brother closed his eyes to recuperate.

Because I was walking along the moat, I heard the sound of watchmen from a distance in the city, and it was already midnight.

Not far away, dotted with dots, there are torches hanging on both sides of the water truck to illuminate the road.

A guard came forward to ask for instructions, whether to take people there first, and let the water truck make way.

The fourth elder brother had already calmed down, he was not as urgent as when he left Nanyuan, he waved his hands and said, "No more, just wait in the back."

The guard went down, and the fourth elder brother took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. There were still two quarters of an hour (two o'clock in the morning).

He slowly lowered his eyes and decided to take a nap.

In a daze, I heard someone yelling loudly. The fourth elder brother slowly opened his eyes. Before he understood what was going on, he heard the neighing of a horse, and then the carriage moved violently. The fourth elder brother couldn't react in time. The seat slid to the floor, and the back was hit half to death by the bench.

Before he had time to call someone, the carriage had already tilted to one side, and the fourth elder brother only felt a pain in the back of his head, his eyes turned dark, and he lost his clarity...

Tears ran, my friend came to Beijing, went to visit, on the way back, the taxi I took almost rear-ended, and then passed by the oncoming large truck that smashed through the guardrail.If it wasn't for the taxi driver's quick response, Xiao Cao would be a eunuch. . .tears. .The code word speed has also lost its efficiency, and it has not been completed until now.

Frightened and frightened, I asked for a guaranteed monthly pass for comfort.Baba is waiting.
