It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 72

Under the special care of Xi Niu, Wanxian fell ill very smoothly. After blowing the cool breeze all night, she felt dizzy and dizzy when she woke up the next day. There was another beautiful girl who also caught the cold and moved out two days earlier.

Wanxian knew that she would move out if she was sick, and she might not be able to catch up with Kangxi. She had prepared the dance early and wanted to perform on that day, but Zhou Ting refused to give her the gauze, so she cut her own summer dance. Clothes are sewed with needles every day, and two streamers can be sewn out after spending a piece of clothing.

The pampered girl is weak at first, and she can recover from illness as long as she sleeps with her head covered and sweats, but she can't take it easy, so she burns herself with needles and threads, and she knows that Something was wrong, the cat hid in the house, and told Xi Niu to serve hot tea one cup after another and sweat under the quilt. The beautiful woman in the same room saw her acting strangely and came out to find the mother.

In the beginning, it was just changing the room for the beautiful girl in the same room and not moving Wanxian out alone, but it was about to read it in person, and no one could go to see the emperor when he was sick.When the symptoms were still mild, the maids could still take care of them, but they never recovered. I was repeatedly afraid that other beautiful ladies would get sick together. It was okay to say that one or two fell ill. He must eat melons, and after waiting for two days, he moved Wanxian out alone.

The sick show girl has almost no future to talk about. Even if she has one, she will get the next round. It depends on whether her age is in the big grid. Xi Niu can easily earn a job to take care of Wanxian, and she will serve her soup every day .

When Wanxian was moved out of the Qixiang Palace, she was in a daze with fever. When another beautiful girl left, a sister she knew came to see her off. Also get sick.When it came to Wanxian's place, it was deserted, and it was the little girl from the Shi family who thought about her past so that she could send some gadgets, even asking the nanny to persuade her, "Girls, be careful, don't live on." It didn't work.

Xi Niu continued to take care of her, sometimes carefully and sometimes negligently made her relapse, she was careful not to overdo it, but Wanxian was a restless person, she drank medicine every day, and she lay there every day They didn't go, but Kexin didn't stop, she kept sending Xi Niu to Qixiang Palace to inquire about things, either to ask who the little girl from the Shi family had won another reward, or to ask which lady summoned the beautiful girl again today. Eight of these questions will be taken to the Yonghe Palace.

Wanxian thinks about the dance in her row every day, and gives Xi Niu money to ask her to get a sitting screen. Xi Niu must not be able to get such a big thing, and even white cloth is rare. White cloth is not allowed in the palace. Yes, at last some green cloth was brought over for her, and Wanxian dabbed rouge on her fingers, dazedly dancing in circles while dotting a picture of red plums on the green cloth.

Xi Niu slowly figured out the taste, and now she is the only one serving Wanxian, and Wanxian can only tell her what she has to say, and it is inevitable that she will reveal some meaning when she talks too much, the more she listens, the more frightened she becomes Xi Niu looked at Wanxian's heart and went to the front to find out the news every day while taking the soup. Zhou Ting no longer came to the palace, but Pearl was sent in by her from time to time to give things and care about her niece Wanxian. How is the "illness"?

"Sister Pearl, you can't trick me." There was a strong smell of medicine on Xi Niu's clothes, and Pearl smiled slightly when she smelled it: "Don't worry, when our girl gets out of the palace smoothly, the whole family will be happy." Thank you." Then he took out a small purse: "Master said, if I give you jewelry, I'm afraid it will hurt people's eyes, so you can play with the gold and silver blessing beads."

The first step has already been taken, and there is no turning back anyway, Xi Niu only thought that Wanxian was really "feeling cold" and gritted her teeth and took the purse. The purse was made of ordinary fabric, but it was not light to touch. Nodding to Pearl: "I will take good care of the girl."

"I'm not cheating on you, it's really the family's idea." Seeing Xi Niu's worry, Pearl patted her hand to comfort her: "Just be careful with her, and don't call her anything wrong. "

This is true. As soon as Zhou Ting came home, she invited Xilin Jueluo to come through the door. Zhu Yu knew a lot about this matter, but Zhou Ting still separated Mrs. Nala from the inner room when she came, leaving only Aunt Wusu was alone, sobbing could be faintly heard from outside, and Mrs. Nala came out with red eye circles.

Zhou Ting comforted her while sending each other off: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, although Wanxian is ill, I am still watching her. This scene is a bit precarious, and the next scene will be the same, anyway, she is still young. "When I said it, I bit the accent, and said the word "next game" very emphatically.

Mrs. Nala's face was pale, and she turned her head back and asked her husband Shili to pick up her daughter quickly. This time she came out safely, and the next time she is still young. If it can't be done, she just said she was sick and locked up in a village outside. It's nothing more than eating and drinking.

Xi Niu has a pearl as a guarantee and her heart is back to her stomach, but she doesn't dare to enter Wan Xian's room. Ask some questions about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When Xi Niu was in Qixiang Palace, she saw the beautiful women secretly taking out books and memorizing them. Drawing and painting can be regarded as a talent on the table, but she jumped here with two strips of cloth What is it to jump?Even a shaman would not put his legs on top of his head.

It wasn't until Kangxi personally set a date that he released the word to move the sick beautiful girl out. Nala's family was already waiting outside the palace gate, and Wanxian was carried into the sedan chair by two strong nuns. As soon as she heard the news, she softened, she trembled her lips for a long time and couldn't say a whole sentence, Xi Niu was afraid that she would show some kind of demon moth again, so she hurried up to help her and stuffed her into the sedan chair, Wanxian's hands held tightly She refused to let go of the door and broke a piece of her nails. The nuns and eunuchs looked at each other in blank dismay. In the end, she lost her strength and passed out before she was able to carry it out of the palace door.

When Xilinjueluo's family came to report that they had arrived home safely, Zhou Ting felt relieved and couldn't help but recite a sentence: "Pack up some medicinal materials and send them over. Ask how the person is doing, and ask my sister-in-law to watch carefully."

Who knew Wanxian would howl almost to the whole yard when she woke up, and Xilin Jueluo blocked her mouth in person, feeling sorry for her and hating her for not being able to live up to her expectations. She hugged her and cried for a long time. Those words Zhou Ting said Xilinjue Luoshi didn't believe it all, even if she lost her tune, she couldn't be so big-hearted. In the end, Wanxian said all the words intermittently, crying and shouting, repeating "Yinzhen" "" Fourteen Fujin".

Xilinjue Luoshi wanted to die, and his eyes swept over the girls in the room one by one. The timid girls who were serving Wanxian knelt on the ground on the spot when their knees softened. Fortunately, there were not many people inside. For the sake of Wanxian's face, Xilinjueluo couldn't immediately get angry with these servants as soon as she left the palace, so she temporarily saved her life.

No matter how good or bad, finally put the matter under control. After finishing this matter, Zhou Ting is in the mood to care about this year's big selection of new recruits.

As for people's affairs, although Bafujin said that he gave his husband two lucky girls, the newcomer must come in. The mansion has been cleaning the house in the past two days, and the back house can't be filled.

Zhou Ting also got ready here, and arranged it in the east courtyard for Song to watch. Anyway, one sheep is also herding two sheep, and it is a mess to enter the house anyway. There are several rows in front. It won't be long for the later ones, and she has already got the guarantee from Concubine De, Zhou Ting is not in a hurry.

But the less anxious she is, the less newcomers will come in. Kangxi has already taken Prince Yinxiang to go on a tour, but the beautiful girl who should come has not come. Zhou Ting is a little surprised. I heard that Yiwei is there this time Four more have been brought in, and they were brought in two days ago, why is there no news from her house?

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the dishes in the big kitchen in front are not as good as Zhou Ting's here. This is also her intention. The ingredients for the kitchen are all purchased and handled. Her here is melon and fruit fresh soup, and the front is full of big fish and meat. After not eating twice, Yinzhen came to eat every day again.

"Is it hot, do you want an ice bowl first? I have a crystal belly today." Zhou Ting changed into a loose summer robe, her hair was combed loosely, and she only hung a string on her wrist because she didn't go out. Bracelets, with a gentle and soft-spoken look.

Yinzhen took off his hat, took the ice handkerchief and stuck it on his face: "I don't need the ice bowl, but I still have the sour soup I drank yesterday. It's appetizing after eating it." Shi came over.

The topic of the newcomer was put on the bright side. Zhou Ting wanted to see what Yinzhen meant, and she called in even though she knew that the Song family had other plans.

"Fu Jin ordered my concubine to return the house to the new sister. I already have it, but I don't know how to decorate it." Song Shi knew that Yinzhen would be there at this time, and it was not time for her to eat, so she came here just a little bit. Breaking the rules, when the body is down, the wicker-like waist is slightly tilted, bending into a beautiful curve.

Zhou Ting could already feel Yinzhen's eyes turning on Song Shi, and she could still hold on. She picked up the crystal cup and took a sip of sour plum soup, swallowed a sip of sweet and sour, with a smile on her face: "This You can figure it out, I won’t pass you anyway, just follow the specifications of the previous Ge Ge.”

"Who wants to change the house?" Yinzhen paid attention to Mrs. Song at the beginning, but later his attention was drawn to the house resettlement.

"Master, it's true. Although I can't enter the palace with a big belly, I have to do what I have to do. Yesterday I heard that four sons entered the eighth elder brother's mansion this time. I thought, what do we do here?" It should also be pointed out that people come in, and the room must be cleaned up first, so that there will be no fuss." Zhou Ting squeezed the crystal cup slightly with her fingers, and a few ice beads swirled in the cup slightly, and her heart sank. There was a bit of a sour smell, besides whether she would give in or not, and whether Yinzhen wanted to, he didn't miss Song's waist just now.

Who knows that Yinzhen came to his senses, looked at Zhou Ting with a slight smile and said, "It's this matter, I forgot to tell you, Er Niang mentioned it a few days ago, and I have already refused." The occupants were stunned.Zhou Ting glanced at him incredulously, Yinzhen rejected the concubine!
This was before the decree was made. Originally, Concubine De took a fancy to a Wu family. Her family background was not obvious, and she was born round and very blessed. Everything was good. She also wanted to remind Yinzhen that her son was getting closer to her. She is also becoming more and more like a mother: "Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, you must not let her worry about these things." After enduring and enduring, she finally didn't get the sentence "You must not treat Li Shi the same", but Looking at Yinzhen's eyes also reveals this meaning.

It's rare for Yinzhen to feel ashamed in front of her own mother. She didn't know that Mrs. Li had done something wrong. If she found out, she would probably have to take it easy. Honghui was loved by her, so she sighed inwardly. The wife's guilt was hooked again.In front of Concubine De, she bowed her head: "I wanted to ask Er Niang to come back here, there is no shortage of people to wait on my son."

On the one hand, it was because of guilt, and on the other hand, it was because Yinzhen really didn’t have much desire for female sex. He is the kind of person who would rather have sex than eat too much, and it’s the same with women. He never tires of food and wins by quantity He won't do this kind of thing. Once he takes a good bite, he will eat it for a long time until he gets tired of it.

Zhou Ting was the fresh meat that he would not give to him before he had eaten a few mouthfuls. Song Shi looked a little dull in front of him, and he was confused by Zhou Ting's unusual smile. Infected, he waved his hand at Mrs. Song: "Go back to your own yard after you finish talking, and the meal will be delivered." Mrs. Song is not qualified to stay for dinner, and even Mrs. Li cannot share the same table with Zhou Ting Have a meal.

The maid outside was already waiting with a food box. As soon as Zhou Ting came to her senses, she smiled softly and sweetly at Yinzhen. She knew what Yinzhen ate, and she didn't need to know why, as long as she knew that she had benefited. .

Seeing that it was Yinzhen who spoke, Mrs. Song felt as if she had been infused with Huanglian soup, bitter and astringent, she bowed her head and backed out, and Aunt Wusu followed her with a smile: "Please stay a little longer, please. The decorations have to be picked up by the old slave." The key is hanging on her body, she can understand Song's careful thinking, isn't it because she sees that the month is coming and she is about to give birth, but she can't fight for pregnancy and wants to fight for confinement !

Aunt Wusu sneered in her heart, kept her hand and mouth, and said something neither soft nor hard: "Our master is getting heavy, and now it's hard to even get up. Although the old slave is useless, he can still take charge of these things In the future, if Gege has anything to do, I will tell the old slave to handle it." It is not an exaggeration to say that she can be half of Zhou Ting's family.

Mrs. Song pinched her palms secretly, it was difficult to get up, but the bullying master refused to let go, the others could not eat any more meat, so they asked for some broth to drink, and there was a smile on her face as she made the arrangements in her stomach: "Mama said I'm just afraid of neglecting my new sister, and telling people behind their backs that Fujin is not generous is my sin."

"Look at what Gege said, who in the whole house doesn't know that the master has allowed Gege to take charge of the East Courtyard. It can be seen that he trusts Gege, and Gege doesn't have to go back and forth." Aunt Wusu gave Song a soft nail, As soon as she returned to the east courtyard, she asked Ruizhu: "What kind of moths have appeared over there today?" The people in this courtyard still find it strange that Mrs. Niu Hulu doesn't make a joke every day.

Ruizhu's mouth was flattened, and she opened her mouth to Niu Hulu's house: "Today, I think the food is not good, so I want to eat crystal sticks." She dared to ask for this without looking at her status. Well, Gege's rations are there, just chicken, duck, fish and geese, what kind of crystal sticks are you tossing about.

"Go to the kitchen and tell them I asked them to make it, and you can share half of the plate over there." Mrs. Song picked at her nails, she couldn't make trouble, there was always someone who could.

"Master, why do you praise her like this? She is like that. She is not a person who knows how to flatter." Rui Zhu has been with Song Shi for many years and has always been Song Shi's confidant. , she went to climb the tall branches." Everyone saw the offering of needles and threads that time, and they didn't scold Niu Hulu's sycophant in their hearts. Seeing that she didn't get any benefits because of this, everyone was very happy.

"Don't let her make a fuss, my master and I can't see each other." Song's heart was bitter, and she felt that life was more and more difficult. She was older than Zhou Ting, and if she didn't have children, she would have no chance in the future.

"I'll do it now, slave." Since Niu Hulu was the gunman, there was nothing to worry about, Ruizhu turned around and went to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Tao'er sitting on the porch wiping her tears again. Niu Hulu is such a fool, he can't even keep the girls around him, so sooner or later he will find out all about her.

Yinzhen's initiative to reject a concubine made Zhou Ting feel a little strange, and she was soon suppressed by her. Just thinking about the women with green eyes in the backyard, she couldn't relax herself, and her life went on as usual.

Kangxi took the prince out of the Great Wall, and it was his son's turn to stay in Beijing to supervise the country. The errand assigned to Yinzhen happened to be from the Ministry of Household Affairs. He wanted to impress Kangxi, but word of mouth was useless. It is true to be able to do practical things. Every night in the study, I light the lamp and boil the wax. I have no time to think about girls in the backyard like the Song family. The only leisure time I have comes to Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting boils sour plum soup here, boils dark plums and black dates with rock sugar for a long time, adds ice cubes and puts them in a carved crystal bowl, and sends some to Yinzhen every day, and sometimes Yinzhen will come to meet her by himself Chat some gossip, talk about unimportant things, and touch the child in Zhou Ting's belly by the way.

As the day progressed, Mother Wusu came over with a face full of joy and said, "The eldest lady at home sent news that Miss Six is ​​recovering from her illness."

This sixth girl is Wanxian, and Zhou Ting frowned and asked carefully: "A few days ago, I said that there was no water and rice, so I will be fine today?" Just kidding, it's suddenly back to normal now, don't think of some new tricks, just as she was about to send someone to the mansion to take a look, she felt a slight twitch in her stomach, which made Zhou Ting feel like a cramp. My back was so sore that I couldn't move while sitting.

Sister Wusu looked at it and quickly asked, "But it's activated?"
