The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 199
In the early morning of this day, the capital, which had been snowed heavily for several days in a row, was covered with snow. At the fourth watch, it was still impossible to see outside.Minzhi slept deeply, her whole body curled up like a shrimp, and the quilt bulged a little hill.While falling asleep, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Yinhu on the bed suddenly woke up, opened his eyes to see that the sky was still dark, let out a breath and closed them again, stretched out his hand to touch the side, and opened his eyes again.

At this time, Qiu Ju turned around the screen with an orange lamp and said, "Master, it's time to get up." A certain person lifted the quilt and just wanted to get up, when he found that his pajamas were piled up in a ball and dragged by his wife's hand.The corners of the mouth tugged down, and he lay back again, dug his wife out of the quilt, put her head on the pillow, and Minzhi, with her messy hair on her head, unconsciously pressed against him, holding his clothes tightly.

Yinhu was speechless, this woman, like this every time, must go through a lot of trouble before letting him go to work.On the side, Qiu Ju watched her master struggle, and dutifully stood there with a lamp as the background board.After Lu Jiu knocked on the door for the second time outside, Yinhu rescued the pajamas from his wife.

Qiu Ju held her robe, vest, and waistcoat, all dressed neatly, and walked outside. Lu Jiu and his servants had prepared the washing utensils, warm ginseng soup and pastries. Since becoming the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, breakfast Too late to eat, lunch was eaten while working, dinner was dragged by Yinzhen to the restaurant, he was so busy.

Today, he will be as busy again. When he was in the official department in previous years, he was the most idle at this time. His bones that had been lazy for many years suddenly tightened up. He was not used to it: "Let's go." Minzhi came out wearing a coat: "You just went out like this? Didn't even say hello?" As she spoke, she walked over and took the warm hat with the red coral top from Lu Jiu's hand: "Official uniform It looks much better than court clothes, so put on your hat and go out, it's snowing heavily outside."

Picking up his feet, he helped him put on the hat, fastened the belt, and turned to Lu Jiu: "It's the first quarter of the fourth watch, and there is still some time before the court, let the sedan chair go slowly." Lu Jiu bowed: "Slave!" I understand." "You always knew?" Yinhu looked at his busy wife with her head down, as if the woman who cheated on the bed just now was not her. "What do I know? I know you have to go to bed early? I didn't sleep so hard, but I'm a little afraid of the cold." "Oh? Isn't it cold today?" Yinhu's heart fluctuated slightly.

"It's cold, but you've been afraid of waking me up. If you go out quietly, I'll be embarrassed. Okay, be careful on the road, and let Yinzhen and Yin'e come over for dinner at night." "Aren't you going to the palace to pay your respects?" Yinhu frowned, how did she know that she had been with Yinhu and Yiner these two days? "Tomorrow, the cashmere sweater for Huang Mama hasn't been knitted yet." " Minzhi pushed him towards the door without looking at anyone else: "Let's go, the road is difficult today, don't delay the time because of it. "

When Yinhu went out, Minzhi went back to sleep and got up an hour later. First, she went to see Hongyan who was in a fever. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Magpie changing Hongyan's handkerchief, and said, "Magpie, why are you here? It's just now. After confinement, you should have a good rest." Magpie blushed: "Miss, I'm fine, the baby is in the mother's room, the old lady refuses to let go of her while holding her, the slaves can't grab her, there is nothing left and right, just thinking about it." Come and see Brother Yan."

Magpie just added a son to the Qian family last month, and the old lady was so happy from ear to ear. Yinhu is so busy these two days that even Mr. Qian can't wait to get his feet off the ground.During the day, Mr. Qian was not in the mansion. Although Minzhi repeatedly stated that there was no shortage of people in the main house, the magpie just couldn't stay idle. He came and went again and again, and Hongyan added another nanny.

Touching Hongyan's little hand and asking the doctor, he knew that it was just a common children's cold, but Hongyan couldn't take medicine and could only cool down physically. Minzhi sighed: "Then I'll leave it to you." Magpie bowed: "Your maidservant understands." Out of the wing room, Minzhi stood in the yard, the snow was still falling in the sky, and the snowflakes fell on her face, feeling cold, Minzhi looked up at the sky, the sky was gloomy, the clouds rolled over, covering everything sunshine.

Behind Min Zhi, Qiu Ju came over with an umbrella, blocking Min Zhi's sight: "Fu Jin, it's snowing outside, where are you going?" The road outside has also been swept clean. Hanyin added two more stoves, and Chen and Hu will also go to ask about it.”

After saying this, Minzhi went to the study room, sat down on Yinhu's desk, took down the self-made folder from the bookshelf and started to read it.This file folder is one of more than [-] file folders that Minzhi sorted out based on Ling Pu's account books. After the Hesheli family came, Minzhi carefully reflected on why the Tong family suddenly became popular.After much deliberation, there is only one reason, and that is that Yinhu has been promoted, and it is still a very sensitive position.

That night, Yinhu told her that he was now the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the second rank, and at five watch, he had to go down to the Jinshui Bridge to wait for the Meridian Gate to open, and line up to go to court.When Minzhi first heard about this position, she suddenly felt dark. From her understanding, the Ministry of Internal Affairs enshrines the inner court, and the people there are either coated slaves or eunuchs. Although they are super fat, they have a bad reputation.

Yinhu can't control the firewood, rice, oil and salt, isn't this ruining him!Moreover, how could Minzhi not think of what Yinhu thought of?Prince, Prince, when will you be deposed!Or is it that the old man has softened his heart, so he won't give up, and he will just educate you again and let you go back to work?Is history completely out of shape?The eighteenth elder brother is alive and kicking, so the prince didn't make Kangxi sick, so he didn't abolish the prince?
No, since Yinhu has entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how can he do without any grades?He doesn't know what to do now, he doesn't know how the prince will deal with him, so I bet that there is no deviation in history and everything will happen as usual.It's a pity that she is a female family member in the inner house, and her sources of information are too closed to help her judge the development of the current situation. Moreover, she has no right to open his letter privately.He will be very unhappy with this kind of presumptuous behavior.

While looking at the data, I checked the changes in the data above. Since these folders were completed, Yinhu felt like a treasure, and asked someone to make two other sets, one for He Yi and one for myself. I kept it in my study at home. One set, every night, Yinhu will bring back the data changes and add them to the database at home.During the day, Minzhi took it out and looked it up, and if he found something abnormal, he marked it to remind Yinhu.

Seeing that it is December, this month is the busiest time for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites. The winter solstice worships ancestors. Although various sacrifices are prepared by Guanglu Temple, except for a few of the various ritual utensils that are ancestral, the rest are It was freshly built, and the Inner Court Construction Office was busy, working overtime all night, all kinds of data were all red, and Minzhi turned to the back, only to feel that his eyes were dazzled, it was too huge and complicated.If Yinhu had to take care of every link, he would definitely collapse.

Although it has been turned for many days, Minzhi's energy is only enough for her to read half of the book, and she will have a headache, dizziness, chest tightness and out of breath. What the hell, I drank less tonic, but it didn't work at all. If I concentrate for a while, my energy will not keep up with the consumption.I closed the folder, and just about to put it back on the bookshelf to take a rest and read it again, when I accidentally found a note that fell out of it, and it said "The [-]th General will return to Beijing before New Year's Eve."

The end of the note was not a period but a question mark. Minzhi was a little uncertain about what it meant. The previous time she entered the palace, she used the New Year's Eve dinner as an excuse to mention the Crown Princess to Concubine Hui. In fact, she really wanted to know if the Crown Prince would participate.However, Concubine Hui revealed another news that surprised her, saying that Yinbi had not come to pay her respects for several months. he.

However, Yinbi never showed up, and even Mrs. Wang and her little grandson Hongyu didn't come to see her. This is very strange, since Yinbi never showed up since she came back from the last tour to the west.At that time, Minzhi was only thinking about the prince's affairs, and she didn't care about whether Yin Yin disappeared or not. Now she saw this note, and she was even more puzzled.Isn't the [-]th return to Beijing a certainty?Kangxi ordered him to return to Beijing to report on his work, so there is no doubt about it.

After all, it’s the Chinese New Year. Kangxi definitely wants to get together with his sons. After he went to Xichuan on the [-]th, he hasn’t returned to Beijing for a few years. This time he is ordered to return to Beijing, and Concubine De is going to be pissed again. show off.However, what is the purpose of Yinhu's question mark?Minzhi took the note and read it repeatedly, but didn't understand it, it was just stating the facts, nothing special, Yinhu specially added it here for herself to find out, what exactly was she trying to say?

Minzhi put the note on the fire and didn't care about him, anyway, he was going to come over for dinner at nine and ten in the evening, so let's ask again then.He got up and sat on the soft bed behind the desk. The room was too warm, and after a while, Min Zhi fell asleep on the couch.When she woke up, Mo Shuang stood in front of her: "Master, you're awake, Zhuangzi has delivered something, and he said he wanted you to see it yourself."

After speaking, a package was handed over, and when I opened it, it turned out that the cashmere sweater dedicated to the Queen Mother had been woven. In fact, this year's annual gift had already been sent to the palace as early as the beginning of the month, but after Minzhi came to the palace to pay her respects, the Queen Mother said it was cold Afterwards, my shoulders were always sore, and sometimes it was difficult to lift my hand. The doctor used acupuncture and decoction to treat it, but it didn't get better.She wondered if it might be the onset of senile arthritis.So I thought of knitting a set of cashmere underwear for the old man to wear under the robe to keep warm.The clothes woven for Kangxi in the past were just to please him, but it was a pity that the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's leg. In his eyes, family affection is simply a joke.

In the end, it was the kindness of the female elders in the inner court. The Queen Mother rewarded her with such a symbolic treasure as Yufeng Ling. She is usually pleasant to see her, so there is no reason not to treat her better.Thinking about this, Minzhi shakes off the clothes and compares them with the trousers. Well, Zhuangzi Shangxiu's knitting skills are also good.
