Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 25

In this way, the imperial decree for Fu Heng was announced to the Fucha Mansion.

Guerjia was stunned, Li Rongbao was stunned, even Li was stunned, only Tong Wanrou knelt there quietly, remembering what Xianggong told her that day.

It seems that Xianggong had expected this result long ago, but he kept silent all the time. Now that the imperial decree came down, the Fucha family was caught off guard, and even if someone wanted to change it, they couldn't change it.

After Fu Heng took the imperial decree, he handed it over to Tong Wanrou, and let her see what the imperial decree wrote with her own eyes. The two children got together, you pushed me once, and I pushed you once. I can't stop coughing.

Li Rongbao was also shocked for a while, and then he realized that it was useless for him to say anything more, seeing the resentful eyes from his first wife, he must have thought that he did it to please Li Shi stem.

Li Rongbao had no choice but to cough lightly to avoid it, and then he went to Li's face to kiss, sighed and said:

"It's almost enough. I didn't see you making trouble when I was young, but now I'm a lot older, and you still make trouble like a little girl. It's not embarrassing."

As he said that, he was about to hold Li Shi's hand. These hands were soft and smooth, unchanged for decades, and he hadn't even touched them for such a long time. If Li Rongbao said he didn't want to, he would be lying.

Li Shi wanted to withdraw her hand, but was held tightly by Li Rongbao. After struggling twice, she stopped moving.

Seeing that she was finally willing to soften, Li Rongbao felt much better immediately, and said to her:

"Okay, okay, you've scolded and scolded, the quarrel is over, and your son is promising, so stop making trouble, and move back from that fish pond-sized yard quickly, it's shabby."

Mrs. Li gave him a sideways glance: "This is the Fucha mansion, Mr. Fucha, you want us mother and son to live wherever you want us to live, don't we have to live there, let alone a fish pond, even a pigsty... We have to live too .”

When Mrs. Li said this, she glanced at Liu Fushu, the sixth aunt who had ridiculed her for living in the pigsty, and saw that the latter suddenly lost her composure, lowered her head and shrank back, for fear that Mrs. Li would follow at this juncture. She thought about it, the master felt a little guilty towards her now, and her son had just been appointed as a royal bodyguard, if Mrs. Li attacked her at this time, Liu Fushu really couldn't guarantee that she would be able to escape unscathed.

So, it's better to hide a little bit.

Unconsciously, she took a few steps back, unaware of what was resting on her feet, but heard a coquettish call from behind:
"Ouch."

The fifth aunt, Ji Yao, somehow fell to the ground, standing very close to Liu Fushu, making people feel that when Liu Fushu retreated, she stepped on someone's feet and squeezed him to the ground.

Liu Fushu glared at Ji Yao, and threatened her not to worry about it with his eyes, thinking that she had been bullied a lot, Ji Yao lowered her head in fear, and dared not speak anymore.

Mrs. Li saw all this and didn't make a sound, so she was led into the hall by Li Rongbao, only to hear that after Li Rongbao went in, he chased him out again, and shouted to the servants in the mansion:

"Have you heard, go to the west side courtyard and bring back all the salutes of Mrs. Side, be careful, don't bump into Mrs. Side's things. If there is any mistake, be careful of the master!"

"..."

Everyone wiped a cold sweat in their hearts.

I didn't expect Mrs. Li Fang to turn around. Fortunately, they didn't go to trouble her when she was in trouble, otherwise they would have pinned her head to her trouser belt now.

The strong return of the Li family has inspired the entire Fucha Mansion.

Leaving aside Li Rongbao's almost flirtatious welcome back in public, Fu Heng's accidental appointment was also shocking. Although there were some cases in the past when a concubine entered the palace as an errand, he was never appointed as a fourth-class guard as soon as he came up. Rank five, this is indeed a miracle that never happens in a thousand years.

All of a sudden, the people in the mansion talked a lot, and cast their eyes on and scrutinized the youngest concubine. They used to think that the concubine was worthless, but now they really got slapped in the face.

After Fu Heng received the imperial decree, he will formally enter the palace to work as a servant in five days. Mrs. Li was happy all day long, and even Li Rongbao didn't bother to get angry. After taking back all the things in the West Side Courtyard, So she started to discuss with Tong Wanrou, what should be bought for Fu Heng and brought into the palace.

Because the fourth-class guards are on shifts every half a month, that is to say, those who enter the palace as servants can come back once every half a month, once for two days, and return to the palace after two days.

During the half month of being on duty in the palace, I stayed in the guard camp, so I had to prepare some change of clothes, and other common things. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the streets in the sedan chairs of Fucha Mansion to buy them in person that afternoon. up.

The two of them first went to the largest clothing store in the city to pick out two new and expensive inner and outer shirts for Fu Heng. Although the guard uniforms will be uniformly distributed when entering the palace, they always have to wear their own clothes when entering and leaving the palace. , people rely on clothes, clothes are the facade when people walk outside, the place Fu Heng went to is the Forbidden City, there is no place in this world more noble than that place, everyone is noble, no matter how you say it, you can’t just lose on the facade people.

Tong Wanrou picked out a bud-colored long gown with sapphire blue and gold silk embroidered gown, and a duck-egg blue satin gown with black dark pattern gown. After telling the size, the shopkeeper took the clothes down and asked the tailor to change them, saying that it would be two days later. Send it to the mansion in person.

After going out, Mrs. Li said that she would go to the jade shop to buy two accessories to hang on her body, and the two got into the sedan chair again.

After such a lot of tossing, I finally bought everything in big and small bags. This is the first time for Mrs. Li to buy these for her son. It is inevitable to think too much. Not all the things I bought may be useful, but I really can’t find the ones I didn’t buy. .

Li Rongbao came to Li's courtyard in the evening, and seeing things piled up in the hall, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Hey, I don't know, I thought he was going to some remote place away from Beijing, did you buy too much?"

"What's so much?" Mrs. Li snatched back a silver bowl she bought for Fu Heng from Li Rongbao, put it in a gift box, and said to Li Rongbao:

"When Minglan got married back then, I just didn't buy too many things for her, so she was neglected in Prince Bao's mansion for a long time. This time, Heng'er entered the palace. gone."

Li Rongbao smiled after hearing this: "It's almost enough. No one in the palace cares about these vain things. What people care about is your identity and your background."

After listening to Li Rongbao's words, Mrs. Li couldn't help putting the things in her hand on the table again, and said with a cold face: "Is that why you look down on the concubine and the concubine?"

Seeing her face changed again, Li Rongbao realized what he said just now, and hurriedly apologized: "Where, if I don't like the concubine, then what am I doing here?"

Mrs. Li took a deep breath, unwilling to quarrel with him over this matter, and said to Li Rongbao:
"Whether you like it or not, I will explain it to you today. Now that Fu Xin and Heng'er have entered the palace, they are all fourth-class guards. They represent the entire Fucha family. In your heart, you are not allowed to be biased. If Fu Xin has something, we Heng'er must have it. If Fu Xin doesn't have it, I will ask Heng'er to fight for it by myself, and I don't need your help. It doesn't matter if you neglect me, but about Regarding the matter of Minglan and Heng'er, if you are negligent and biased, then I will not obey."

Seeing her say a lot, Li Rongbao's eyes didn't evade at all, and he knew she was telling the truth. After thinking about it for so many years, he did not count her in many things in the mansion because of her status as a concubine, and he was also negligent. Although she, her daughter and son are bastards, they are also his own flesh and blood after all. When it comes to the bias between the flesh and blood, he is not so obvious. He may be biased in the competition between wives and concubines. How about the concubine, he asked himself that he tried his best to make the bowl of water as smooth as possible, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Li Shi's instructions, so he complied.

That night, Li Rongbao still had some entertainment, so he just rested in Li's courtyard and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Li went to the side hall to pack things together with Tong Wanrou, and before entering, she specially told the maidservant:
"The master will definitely drink when he goes out to socialize. Go and make some hangover soup for him and put it in the room."

After the servant girl responded, Li-shi lifted the beaded curtain and walked into the side hall. Tong Wanrou was folding clothes for Fu Heng. Seeing Li-shi, she smiled and said:
"Mother has been really nice to Dad recently."

Mrs. Li scratched her face twice, and said with resentment and resentment:

"What do children know?"

Tong Wanrou smiled sweetly at her, and Li Shi also sat down opposite her, pulled a shirt away, looked at it, and said:
"After being demoted to the West Side Hospital this time, I also figured it out. Men just push their feet. If you don't argue or ask anything, he's just pretending to be confused. In the end, it's us women who suffer. When I was young, I was ignorant, thinking that as long as I married him, I would be with him for the rest of my life, and being a concubine was fine. However, I didn’t realize until today that for some people, a wife is a wife, and a concubine... is always a concubine. If you don’t argue, you will only harm yourself and your children.”

Tong Wanrou put down the work in her hands, looked at Li Shi, and felt that her mother-in-law seemed to have a feeling that she was changing. This change began to show in the few days when she was demoted to the West Side Hospital. Now that she is back, then This change has not disappeared, but has become more and more serious.

"You are Heng'er's first wife. From now on, I won't allow him to take concubines. You also have to act like a first wife, and take care of your husband-in-law, you know?"

"..."

Tong Wanrou looked at Li Shi's serious face, and unconsciously followed behind her and nodded solemnly: "Yes, my daughter-in-law wrote it down."

Only then did Li Shi put down the unfolded clothes and began to fold them together with Tong Wanrou.

Looking at Li Shi's appearance, Tong Wanrou felt that her mother-in-law's changes now would definitely change their future fate, whether it was good or bad...it would never be worse than the present.

Thinking about it this way, Tong Wanrou felt a little relieved. Anyway, her mother-in-law was right. She was Fu Heng's first wife, so she should behave like a first wife. The gentleness my husband treats her can only be towards her alone.

She used to be docile, tolerant and magnanimous, that's because there was nothing worth keeping for her, but now she has something that doesn't belong to her, and she won't take it forcibly, you can take it if you like, but if it belongs to her, she I will definitely stick to it to the end, and no one else can get involved.

Fu Heng has been busy running around these few days, attending various meetings. Those who were optimistic about him in the past, and those who were not optimistic about him, now that they know that he is going to enter the palace, they are all eager to walk with him, so In just two or three days, Fu Hengda received dozens of invitations, big and small. Among them, he selected a few acquaintances or big family members who could not refuse. When I came home, I was still full of alcohol, and I fell asleep.

Tong Wanrou was afraid that he would sleep outside drunk, so every night no matter how sleepy she was, she would wait for him to come back and wait for him to go to bed before she would rest.

The other rooms in the backyard of Fucha's house also sent a lot of congratulatory gifts to Mrs. Mrs. Li ordered people to collect them one by one, and then return some things of equal value to them.

The award of Fu Heng caused disturbances in the whole mansion, but there was no sound in the main house, which should cause the disturbance the most. Mrs. Li was still wondering there, but when she came back, someone who knew the inside story told her that recently The eldest lady's natal family was in a catastrophe, and she was dragged down by Nala's Eshan, and the whole family was in danger. Therefore, the eldest lady did not dare to stir up troubles about the Fucha mansion.

Two days before Fu Heng entered the palace, another imperial decree was issued in the palace, saying that the virtuous man was pregnant and asked his mother's family to come to the palace to accompany him.

The fact that a virtuous man was pregnant caused another uproar in the Fucha Mansion.Everyone is saying that this year is the time for Mrs. Li's concubine to rise.

The concubine Minglan of the Fucha Mansion married into Prince Bao's mansion when the current emperor was still Prince Bao. Who would have thought that Prince Bao would be the master of the world in the future. Brought into the palace, Prince Bao's other Fujin princesses were all made concubines, only Miss Minglan was made a nobleman, and everyone didn't care so much about this concubine lady. The emperor wants to be promoted, but that person can't be promoted.

But now this news is really surprising and shocking.

The virtuous person is pregnant with a dragon seed, this is simply a great opportunity for a carp to leap over the dragon's gate, someone from the palace said that someone from Fucha Mansion should come into the palace to accompany her.

At that time, Li Rongbao told the back house that he would choose a wise and polite governor to enter the palace. After all, Fucha Minglan was pregnant with not only the prince, but also the future of their entire Fucha family. Therefore, Li Rongbao really cared about this matter.

On the day when the imperial decree came down, he and the Guerjia family conducted a screening in the backyard. After many considerations, they selected five people with outstanding abilities and top-grade methods and thoughts.

That night, the list and information listed in the mansion were sent to the palace for selection by the virtuous.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, another news came from the palace, saying that the virtuous man did not like the few people selected by the mansion, so he made it clear directly that he wanted her sister-in-law to accompany her in the palace.

This news once again caused the backyard of the Fucha Mansion to fly wildly. Although the voices of disapproval were louder, it was still no match for the personal election of the virtuous Jinkou, and Tong Wanrou became an innocent target all at once.

Everyone is envious of her luck.Only Tong Wanrou herself felt that her eyes were dazed.

Fu Heng's sister, you want her to accompany you in the palace?How much does this... mean?
