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

Chapter 96

Since Yinzhen said that she was going to take Zhou Ting on a fortress tour, she got ready early, and Manao covered her mouth and smiled secretly when she saw her in such high spirits.It's only January, and it will take at least April to set off to tour the fortress.Mother Wusu was very happy for Zhou Ting. She had never been so happy since she got married.

Zhou Ting did have the memory of packing things for Yinzhen, but it was for men, and she really didn't know what to prepare for women going out in this era.It is very convenient to travel in modern times. Anyway, as long as you have money, you can always buy what you need. It is different in ancient times. If you don’t prepare everything, you will be blind when you need it.

No wonder Zhou Ting was excited. She originally thought that she would spend her whole life in this yard, and at most she would change from the small yard to the big one in the future. She didn't expect to be able to travel to the grassland with public funds.

Zhou Ting's excited appearance fell on Yinzhen's eyes rather unpleasantly. He used to take his female relatives with him on his tours to the south. Naturally, his wife stayed at home to take care of the housework and take care of everything. He never thought that he would not be able to pass The meadow can make her happy like this.

"You won't be able to leave until May, what are you busy with now." Yinzhen saw her flipping through the booklet and scratching, as if a thin bone was stuck in her throat, she went over after being bored for a long time: "What is this for?"

"I can't mess up the etiquette when I'm not here. How many etiquettes do I have to follow between May and August when I come back? The birthday gifts of the brothers and sisters-in-law are not counted, and the birthdays of Da Gege and Hongyun, the girls are older Now, I have to prepare some good things for her to save." Zhou Ting raised her head from the booklet: "I'm going to pay my respects this time, as if I heard that Bo Wang didn't look very well, in case... these gifts should be Prepare yourself, so that others will say that you have lost your manners."

Yinzhen took the thin bag and glanced at it. It was densely covered with names, and even the birthdays of several brothers' children were recorded. The bone in his throat turned into a thin thorn, which made him unable to make a sound. Come, sit next to Zhou Ting and put her arms around her shoulders, and pressed her hard on her chest. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice: "Next year, you will spend more time on the southern tour. What are you going to do with these things?"

Zhou Ting didn't know what kind of wind Yinzhen was having again. This was the most important thing for women in ancient times to do well. She had never seen him so moved, with her arms around his neck and her lips rubbing against his ears: "Don't delay the matter any longer, don't change your mind and don't take me there again."

"What if I change it?" Yinzhen teased her, Zhou Ting raised her eyebrows, touched his waist and pinched him: "Then I've been teaching the big girl and the second girl to call her Erniang every day these days at home!"

Yinzhen let out a laugh in his heart, and when the tip of their nose was touching and they were about to kiss each other, a big princess came outside.Zhou Ting quickly let go of her arms, sat upright and continued to flip through her little book, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Da Gege didn't expect Yinzhen to be there, so he bowed his knees and saluted: "Greetings to Ama and Erniang." The fingers holding the box tightened, hesitated for a while and made up his mind: "Daughter made two sachets, I want to feed it to my mother."

Zhou Ting was a little surprised when she heard that, Da Gege made a lot of things for Yinzhen when she was just practicing needlework, which can be regarded as her daughter's heart.But since entering the main courtyard, she has never been like this again, as if pleasing her father would annoy Zhou Ting, she carefully kept a distance from Yinzhen, and she was a little uncomfortable seeing Yinzhen playing with her two younger sisters, why at this time Will you suddenly make something and send it over?
"Let me take a look," Zhou Ting opened the lacquer box and smelled the fragrance of jasmine first. The sachet was very delicately made, with jasper beads on the two corners, and light-yellow silk ribbons with green flowers , Zhou Ting turned it around in her hand: "The craftsmanship is really good."

Now that the first step has been taken, the next words will flow smoothly: "It turned out that the daughter sprinkled the perfume given by Er Niang on the sweat towel. It was a pity to throw it away, so she sewed a sachet and hung it at the foot of the bed. It can be used every day." When I smelled the fragrance, I thought about making two for Er Niang."

After saying this, she stood still, Zhou Ting was slightly taken aback, Yinzhen had already stood up, his daughter was in the room, he was too embarrassed to stay any longer: "I'm going to the study, you talk to your mother-in-law .”

Ma Nao served tea, Zhou Ting gathered the things on the table and told Fei Cui, "Go and get some steamed dim sum. There must be rose silk ones. Da Ge Ge likes that."

Da Gege raised his eyes and took a quick look at Zhou Ting when he heard the words, his eyes stopped on the lacquer box for a long time, he straightened his back and said: "Just the smell of jasmine makes me tired, and my daughter also added some plum blossom ice flakes. It's inside, could Erniang smell it if she smells it carefully?"

Zhou Ting picked it up and sniffed it closer, and nodded with a smile on her lips, but she felt more and more strange in her heart. Zhou Ting never used spices in her room, and only took dried roses and put them in the incense burner to naturally smell the fragrance. Ge Ge knew that when the spices were distributed in several rooms in summer, she was in the main room and asked a few words. This time, the spices were specially prepared, so it was not just to thank Zhou Ting for her preferential treatment.

It happened that Pearl came in to greet Zhou Ting. She was very excited to see Zhou Ting, and she was about to kneel and kowtow as soon as she lowered her body. A red mark can't be seen after covering it with powder.Zhou Ting patted her hand and asked, "If I hadn't been in a hurry here to take care of things, I wouldn't have let you come here so early as an errand. It seems that this Ruizhu Wan is useful." The formula Yiwei asked for was specially prepared by a doctor. Let Zhenzhu melt a piece of it with warm water every day and apply it thickly on the face. It is very effective in lightening spots and removing scars.

"Thanks to the master, I can get better." Pearl is in charge of Zhou Ting's four seasons clothes, and Fei Cui has just taken over, and she is a bit uncomfortable when packing things, so she is eager to let her come back to help.

Zhou Ting was talking to Pearl, and Da Gege sat on the kang and listened. She usually stayed as long as she could, but now she was watching Zhou Ting gossiping with Pearl, and even Pearl couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

When Pearl began to unpack her clothes, Da Gege was too embarrassed to stay still, so she picked up a sachet and said, "Daughter put this on the tent and make a wishful knot. It looks pretty." She wanted to fasten it for Zhou Ting, so Fei Cui hurriedly put down what she was doing and came over to stop her: "It's just for the slaves to come, so don't do anything."

Zhou Ting stared at her fixedly, her back was straight but her eyes did not dare to meet anyone in the room, and her breath was unsteady when she spoke.What's more... What she does has nothing to do with who she marries, it's just a matter of pleasing the aunt, and doing this is considered a step beyond.

Da Gege just took a step back, and stood there watching Fei Cui hang the sachet on the tent, neatly making concentric knots with her hands and feet, and when Fei Cui turned around, Da Ge looked at Zhou Ting with a blushing face, Reluctantly said some more words before leaving.

If the big girl and the second girl grow up to do these things, then Zhou Ting will not be surprised at all. The big girl has urinated on her Ama, and Zhou Ting’s bed is a small world for them to take a nap. I know it's time to close my eyes.

Even if Da Gege wanted to show her closeness, she would not be able to do such a thing. She is no longer a child.Zhou Ting took another sachet that hadn't been hung up and looked at the pearl. The pearl came over and opened it, and poured out several fragrant beads and some white transparent lumps. Woolen cloth."

Originally, all the spices at Da Gege were distributed by Zhou Ting, and there could be no other things. She turned her attention to the bed. Since it is not spices, it is a bed?But what is she doing, an unmarried girl, staring at her aunt's bed?
Speaking of her recent words and deeds are a bit weird, she was used to being unknown and suddenly jumped out of the background, and she couldn't help but be noticed. Zhou Ting's eyelashes moved slightly, and another sachet was in her hand: "Tie this on too."

Yinzhen is a very meticulous person, and when he saw it at night, he naturally asked, "You don't like these, why did you get this?" Zhou Ting didn't tie it on as it was, she added several more incense beads to it, The agate was sewn along the stitches with thread, as if it hadn't been removed, and the smell became stronger for a while.

Zhou Ting helped him untie his clothes while smiling: "It's her filial piety anyway. This child has a lot of thoughts on weekdays, so I don't stick to her. Anyway, she has good rules and doesn't bother to teach her. Don't you feel that something is wrong with her?"

Yin Zhen's expression froze, and when he turned around and saw Zhou Ting's smile unchanged, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"She is a big girl, so she will naturally start to see people. These days, she runs into my house every day, just to find out who the master is seeing." Zhou Ting straightened Yinzhen's clothes and put them on the table. On the other side, I just sat in front of the makeup mirror and took off my hair. I took a comb and combed my hair thinly. I applied rose oil on the comb. After combing twice, the scent of roses diffused. Zhou Ting moved her nose: "In the past I don’t think it smells really good when mixed together.”

Just now Yinzhen was still thinking about her daughter getting married when she grows up, but before she could feel any emotion, Zhou Ting drew her back to her mind, walked over and held a strand on the tip of her nose: "This one suits you better." Some, that one is too fragrant."

Zhou Ting was wearing a pajamas with light snow and green embroidered thousand-petal chrysanthemums, light purple and light gold. Under the light, her face looked plump and her eyes were shining: "Although I am her mother, I have lost closeness to her. I can't say anything." Before Yinzhen frowned, Zhou Ting turned her face away, took Yinzhen's hand and put her face on his palm: "Master, why don't you take a closer look at how anxious this girl is?" In this way, today I am going to tie the sachet for me myself."

Speaking of this, Yinzhen suddenly realized that Zhou Ting was so reserved because she was afraid that Da Gege would have feelings for her, and it was true that she behaved like this. When she was old, her parents would naturally preside over the marriage. She acted like Li Shi in this way.

When thinking of Li Shi, Yin Zhen naturally thought of Hong Hui. Zhou Ting had never treated Li Shi's children harshly, and Yin Zhen saw all of these. Now that Da Ge Ge is like this, is it Li Shi who instigated him behind his back?Afraid that Zhou Ting would not prepare enough dowry for her daughter?
What a villain!Yinzhen snorted coldly, and seeing Zhou Ting's tactful appearance, he knew that she would not want to intervene too much, so as not to give Li's excuse. Thinking of this, he became angry, and raised his hand to press her shoulder: "What kind of woman are you?" I know people very well, that’s all, I’ll take a closer look at this matter.”

With such a sentence, Zhou Ting's heart is settled, and she doesn't let people stare at Da Gege, Yinzhen who should know will always find out.What's more, those people arranged by Yinzhen can be found in every courtyard. Naturally, what happened to Da Gege has something to do with the South Courtyard, and she was not in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Yinzhen got into such a big fire. He kicked the carbon basin in the study flying, and the sparks flew everywhere, almost burning the carpet. Scanning the gray figure still kneeling on the ground, he lowered his head and turned around to go out.

Little Zhengzi stuck out his tongue and lowered his voice and asked, "My lord, why are you so angry?" Yinzhen's temper was originally a little moody, but it has become more and more calm in the past two years. It has been a long time since he got so angry. Su Peisheng glared at him. With a glance, his eyes swept over Xiao Zhangzi, who found the jadeite by refilling the water bottle with his head on his head.

The South Courtyard is no longer monolithic, and among those girls who want to jump out of the South Courtyard when they reach the age, Li's close-knit girl is naturally indispensable. Wu Yishi was told, she didn't know much, but it was Song who knew about it from the beginning.

Yinzhen from the top to the bottom quickly pieced together the truth. Song thought she was doing something smart and could catch the wind and leave no trace. In fact, all these things were reflected in the eyes of the servants, and all the beans came out of the bamboo tube after a little questioning.

Mrs. Li was still coughing there, Yinzhen came in with big strides and a gloomy face, squinting his eyes at the strange woman on the bed.Since she was able to kill Honghui, it's not uncommon to use these witchcraft at this moment, leaving her a way out, but she still has no idea what to do, Yinzhen strode forward without waiting for Li's eyes Surprised in her face, she grabbed her neck severely: "You're so good!"

Li Shi was so pinched that she couldn't lift her breath, her eyes were dazed, she reached out and grabbed Yinzhen's arm, and before she could force her, Yinzhen let go of her. She lay on the bed panting, her voice hoarse The words in my heart poured out: "Master, Lord! Fujin, Fujin is killing you, Lord!"

This made Yinzhen sneer: "So you asked your daughter to rummage through the Buddhist hall, and even wanted to reach into the main room!" He looked coldly at this skinny and yellowed woman, whom he had pampered And decent, but I didn't expect that this pampering and decent made her like this.Will she think about setting things up next?Can't find evidence will create evidence!
"Big Gege is for Grandpa. Grandpa will definitely find it if he goes looking for it, and he will definitely find it!" Li Shi coughed fiercely with a face full of horror, spat out a mouthful of blood, and scratched his neck with his fingers: "Isn't it?" Fujin bit my concubine, is it her!" After speaking, she cried sadly: "This concubine is so sincere, the world can learn from it."

Mrs. Song was overjoyed when she heard the sound, but she turned her ears to listen carefully, but it didn't look like a happy event. Her heart tightened, and she grabbed Ruizhu's hand: "Go outside and see what's going on." Seeing Su Peisheng standing outside, seeing Song's embarrassment: "Ge Ge just stay here, I will come over later."

When there was a commotion in the south courtyard, Zhou Ting also received the news. She was shocked. Even if she didn't care about history, she knew that witchcraft was always the most taboo thing in the royal family. Trembling, I can't believe that Li Shi and Da Gege would make such a thing, even if they succeed, they will definitely be disgraceful, let alone such an obvious frame!

So how can she get the most out of this matter?Zhou Ting didn't want to plot against Yinzhen, not to mention that under such circumstances, she already had affection for Yinzhen, and he believed in her...but her heart seemed to be jumping out of her chest, When things come to an end, I still can't stop being afraid.

Couldn't help but took a deep breath, thought twice in his mind, and ordered with a downcast face: "Invite Da Gege to her room, and let the maids take care of her." As he spoke, he lay motionless on the kang, agate and emerald She didn't dare to call her, Pearl wanted to go in and light the lamp, but she stopped her, she clenched her fists and bit the hem of her clothes, at this moment she couldn't think of any other way but to show weakness.

Yinzhen entered the main courtyard, the main room was dark, the maids were all standing outside on the porch, through the lanterns on the porch Yinzhen saw the emerald agate frowning anxiously.

Yinzhen lifted the curtain and went in, Zhou Ting was still leaning on the kang, leaning sideways on the big welcoming pillow, her hair was slightly disheveled, she didn't turn around when she heard footsteps, Yinzhen walked over and stretched out her hand to touch her, what did Zhou Ting say? He didn't say anything, and held his hand for a long time and sighed.

The back of Yinzhen's hand was cold, a tear dripped on it, it quickly slid down, fell into the darkness and broke.The feeling of being stuck in the throat by the thorn came back again, Yinzhen opened his arms and hugged her tightly to protect her, his throat was dry and astringent, unable to speak, he patted her on the back again and again , until now he suddenly realized how much he owed her.
