starling is not a bird

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, simply because housework is not a big deal. Those cumbersome things that can't be carried with chopsticks seem ridiculous to outsiders, but people's ambition is smoothed out in the corners and corners.

Facing the empress dowager who is in love with Ai Ai, the princess also made troubles. The mother-in-law didn't want to come forward to embarrass the emperor, and as a daughter-in-law, she didn't want to offend others either?Princess Gong is also an elder, and Princess Gulun Chunxi, who is far away in Mongolia, wrote letters to intercede with her brothers, and her uncle and mother-in-law cried to herself, who would not be embarrassed?

This matter is not difficult to deal with, either get divorced, or have a wife. It is impossible for the emperor to marry a wife. It is a slap in the face of the emperor. It's not noisy at all, what I like, why give it to others!

The empress dowager meant to let the princess and concubine talk about it. They are all young daughters-in-law, and they are also sisters-in-law. They are easy to talk to each other. Guo Luoluo doesn't care about it. , she can't give birth to a child, and she can't stop others from taking concubines!

: "The emperor always praises you on a regular basis. You are thoughtful in taking care of all kinds of affairs. Even with Baocheng, you are more tolerant. Who mentioned that you don't think highly of you? Speaking of which, you will also be the mother of the world in the future." Man, it is safest to entrust this matter to you now!" The empress dowager is old and lacks energy, and she is eager to get rid of this kind of trouble.

The Crown Princess bowed her head and agreed, and couldn't help crying in her heart, what's the matter!The sister-in-law is in charge of going to the uncle's room, and she has to persuade the cousin and daughter-in-law to accept the child. This matter cannot be thought about carefully, and it is disgusting to think about it.

: "I heard that there was a big banquet at Niu Yulu's mansion today, and a few small plays were invited. Several of your younger brothers and sisters have gone, but I have detained you. When you have a chance, you will also be with my sister-in-law." Let's go play together."

What the empress dowager thought was that it was not easy to call people into the palace to talk about this matter. If the trouble became ugly, it would be better to find an opportunity for the granddaughter-in-law, nephew and granddaughter-in-law to get together and settle the matter in private.

Speaking of which, the granddaughter-in-law that the empress dowager loves the most is not the concubine, but Wu Fujin who went to Aling'a's mansion to drink today: Tatara, the fifth elder brother was raised by the empress dowager herself, and Wu Fujin is also the empress dowager The one who decides to choose is not from a high background, but has a gentle and honest temper, and is a good hand in charge.The empress dowager knew that this grandson's future had been delayed by herself, so she chose a wife from a well-to-do family for him. When she got married, she added a lot of things to her private house for him, lest he would suffer in the future.

When the fifth elder brother opened the mansion, he saw that the eighth elder brother who was younger than him got the entrustment and errands, and he and the seventh elder brother were both bare-bones baylors, the empress dowager's eccentricity became more obvious.

In addition to the fact that the Empress Dowager often recruited Wu Fujin into the palace to talk, and was always rewarded, and forced Kangxi not to stop the fifth elder brother to withdraw things from the internal treasury, Kangxi naturally agreed.

Wu Fujin knew that he was born in a low family background, and that his husband didn't receive much attention. In the fifth elder brother's room, he exclusively favored Fujin's Guerjia family. He had already given birth to three sons. He stood in a row and was pregnant with a fourth child. Whether male or female, everyone is highly regarded.Therefore, he usually keeps a low profile. Apart from going to the palace to accompany the empress dowager, he doesn't go out to socialize in leisure time.

This time, there was a big banquet in Aling'a's mansion, and the empress dowager sent her a message, so she dressed up and went.In fact, Wu Fujin also has an idea in his heart. The fifth elder brother has no job or title, but he is nothing but Baylor.At home, it's okay to call Lord Baylor indiscriminately.

Going out to socialize, the elder brothers are the county king Baylor, all of them are in charge of the affairs of various ministries, even the younger brother is Baylor, although the tenth elder brother has no entrustment, but received a real job, it is a bit embarrassing to go by himself, but call the sisters-in-law How to salute?

Is it according to family etiquette or according to the rules?She saluted to her sisters-in-law with high backgrounds, but Wu Fujin was okay, but she really couldn't bear to accept the salute to her siblings from the duke's mansion.

Fortunately, Fujin was clever, knowing that Fujin Wu was doing this to save face for her natal family, and she didn't intend to embarrass Fujin Wu at all, so she greeted Fujin Jiu and Fujin ten at the door, squatted down and shouted, "Hello, Fifth Sister-in-law!" Wu Fujin took the opportunity I returned the gift, and passed it in a vague way.

Wu Fujin congratulated Jiu Fujin on her new son, Jiu Fujin thanked her with a blushing face, and asked quietly: "I heard that your side Fujin is pregnant again?"

Wu Fujin nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable: "Shu Fujin is also pregnant!"

Jiufujin frowned, and said next to Wufujin's ear, "Because she is pregnant now, and you don't work hard, seize the opportunity to conceive one. Although Wuge has three sons, the ones coming out of your belly After all, he is the first son-in-law!"

Wu Fujin didn't answer the question. Ama of the side Fujin was very handsome, and was promoted by the emperor the day before yesterday, and was praised, and the side Fujin was still polite to him. If not, what can we do?

When everyone talked about the Guo Luoluo family in Prince Gong's mansion, Wu Fujin was really envious. She was not from a high family background, and originally thought of entering the palace as a formality, and then married herself after putting down the sign.No matter what, I will choose a sweet one, closer to my mother's home, how nice!

Who knew that he would point himself to the prince?This kind of grace made Er Niang cry so hard that she was carried to the Baylor Mansion, and only then did she know why Er Niang cried like that back then.

None of the side Fujin and Shu Fujin in the room were from a lower family background than him. When he first went out to socialize, he was always reminded of him. Just talking with his sister-in-law was tiring enough. Occasionally he went to the palace to see his mother-in-law. Concubine Yi's eyes were full of displeasure.In such a wronged marriage, she couldn't help herself at all, now she heard Guo Luoluo's wantonness, she was very envious.The sisters-in-law were all talking about Guo Luoluo's excessive behavior, but Wu Fujin just kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

Bafu Jin was particularly tired today, his face was about to stiffen from laughing. This was a happy event organized by his mother's family. Even the crown prince Tongzhi County King sent people to give gifts. The sister-in-law of Aixinjueluo's family who came was more or less To save my husband's face, as the master, I have to help Er Niang entertain her, so I can't lose face.

So Bafujin brought out several Princesses, not only let them go out loosely, but also greeted guests for him.He, Talla, is Wu Fujin's cousin, and he just asked them to chat. The Twelfth Fujin is Ma Qi's daughter, and his own side Fujin's direct sister. He sent Fucha to accompany her sister, and solved another problem. .

As soon as I picked up a cup of tea, I suddenly remembered that Wu Fujin should be ranked next to Jiu Fujin later. Ten Fujin can't speak Manchu well, so let her be next to Wu Fujin who speaks authentic Mongolian.

Brother Nine is the best with her husband, let him sit next to her husband, and Brother Ten is also here, I'm afraid these two uncles want to sit on the left and right again, but Fifth Beile is Brother Nine's own brother, so I can't put him on the table. He forgot, it's really troublesome to think about it all the time.

Babeile also knew that Fujin was very tired today, but he was a man, and he was so bad that all the female relatives would say something later, so he specially sent the haha ​​beads around him to send a message to Fujin, asking her to drink more water, and also sent fresh snacks and fruits Come in and feed the female relatives.But the women around me are so envious, Pingping is Fujin, why are you so lucky?

Being teased by others, Fujin blushed, but her heart was really sweet. Looking at Fujin Jiu, she couldn't help thinking that she was better than Fujin Wu. Since she could conceive a daughter, if she worked harder in the future, she might have a son.

When the banquet was over, Babeile personally accompanied Bafujin to send Wubeile and Wufujin out. His side Fujin hugged his sister and refused to let go, but Bafujin persuaded him to let go. Wubeile held his brother's hand at the door and stood up. Excited, speaking of Brother Jiu is his own younger brother, but Brother Jiu is arrogant and always speaks impolitely, not as close as Babeile.

When going back in the evening, Babeile personally rode a horse to accompany Bafujin in the sedan chair. The two of them talked slowly through the curtain of the car. keep going.

For the sake of his family's Ama, the husband did it himself, and Bafujin waved away the maids in the room, and helped Babeile undress himself. Bafujin listened to Bafujin muttering about some trivial matters. Fujin said it out of his mouth, with a little coquettishness and a little softness, listening casually, it was not interesting.

"Oh? So Princess Gong has entered the palace?" Babeile asked casually. Huang Ama really hated this uncle. He just refused to give him the hereditary title. He didn't even give any favors. He was directly downgraded to the rank of Xijue, and he was downgraded by more than one level, but who said that an uncle has no legitimate son?

: "Yes, everyone is still talking about this today!" Ba Fujin muttered in a low voice.

Babeile hugged Bafujin with his backhand: "To be honest, do you envy Guo Luoluo?"

Ba Fujin leaned over softly, his ears were blushing, and it took him a long time to reply: "To be honest, I'm a little envious." After speaking, he raised his head and quickly added: "Don't worry about it, my concubine is just talking. .”

Babeile smiled: "What's the matter, you don't think so, I care about it! If you don't care about it, it means you don't care about me. Are women not human? Only men are allowed to have three wives and four concubines, but women have to stick to one and die? How unfair! But I can't promise you this, the ancestors' family law is there, I only promise you, the elders can't refuse, I will never add people myself, and add trouble to your heart, how about it?"

Hearing these words, Ba Fujin's eyes were red, she never expected to get these words, her voice choked up: "Master, is what you said true?"

Babeile smiled: "Think about it, which one of these people in the mansion was brought back by yourself? If you want to, ten or eight can be brought to the mansion. I'm afraid I can afford it. It's not because I'm afraid you don't like it. Comfortable. You are in charge of everything in the house, you are busy inside and outside the house, you are doing your best to control this house for the master, you are a person who has made no mistakes, besides the honor, the master wants to give you more!"

Bafujin's teardrops had already fallen, and Babeile reached out to wipe the tears from Bafujin's face: "Why are you crying? Is it okay for the master to treat you well?"

Bafujin couldn't help his love even more, the mother at home taught him that as a mistress, he had to be generous, not to be jealous, to think about his husband in everything, and to rely on himself in everything.He never imagined that he could get such affection. He usually respects and loves her. He is willing to pamper and fulfill even the petty thoughts of a woman like himself.

Babeile coaxed Bafujin for a while, seeing that she was agitated and couldn't stop for a while, she simply let her go, hugged Fujin to the bed, and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Speaking of it, Guo Luoluoshi It's also a poor person. What she wants is not too much. Her Ama can do it, and she only loves her mother. I knew back then that her mother entered the palace in person and wanted to ask for a free marriage. The daughter chose someone with one heart, but Huang Ama didn't do it. If they were allowed to choose someone by themselves, I'm afraid they wouldn't have made such a trivial matter like this. If Princess Gong made up her mind and really waited for the palace to deal with it, she Must be unlucky!"

Ba Fujin wiped away his tears, and said unconvinced: "Then she's not right, no matter what else, at least she can't stop others from thinking about her son, right?"

Babeile smiled: "I know, that's all I said."

Bafujin thought for a while, feeling a little jealous inexplicably, turned over and hugged Babeile's waist, and used his temper rarely: "You are not allowed to think about other women."

Babeile couldn't help laughing, hugged Bafujin with his backhand, and sighed for Guo Luoluo in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't help her at all, and if he showed any intentions, it was breaking the rules, trying to provoke gossip, and hurt her .

A woman like Guo Luoluo's feelings are both pure and strong. If she gave her sincerity, she would ask the other party to entrust her with all her heart. But how can her sincerity be tolerated in this world?No matter how many expectations you have for love, if you can't give birth to an offspring, the world will not accept it after all.

At the end of the draft, the princes won the princesses, and the wives of the younger brothers were also selected. The thirteenth elder brother refers to the wife of the wife of Marhan Zhaojia.The fifteenth elder brother's direct Fujin refers to the Guerjia family, the daughter of Du Tongbo Shi Wenbing, and the direct sister of the Crown Princess.

The thirteenth elder brother's father-in-law is from Yipin Shangshu, but Malhan holds the official title of Prince and Taifu, and he has a proper position and authority. The fifteenth elder brother's father-in-law is also an earl. He is the prince's brother-in-law.

The thirteenth elder brother has lost his mother, the emperor should take care of him more, the concubine de concubine can understand, the fifteenth elder brother's empress is a concubine of the Han Dynasty who is deeply favored, and the secret concubine is the most favored in recent years. Brothers stood still, because of this, the emperor pointed out how close they were, and the concubine de concubine also endured it.

But why did the emperor not care about his fourteenth elder brother at all?I have two sons and three daughters under my knees, the fourth elder brother gave it to Tong Jiashi, and only one of the three daughters stood up, and was pointed out by the emperor to Tong Jiashi.

Counting it, only the fourteenth elder brother is my reliance, so why does the emperor ignore the affection of the past at all?Is the fourteenth elder brother not as good as the thirteenth elder brother?The Fu Fujin referred to is just the daughter of Luo Cha, Wanyan's servant, and her father-in-law is only a second-rank civil servant. What's so good about such a father-in-law who has neither real power nor clan support?The empress concubine De, whose pillow was wet from crying, fell ill.

The emperor's decree has been issued, no matter what others think, this matter is settled, and the family who got the finger marriage has also started to ask the teacher to guide the daughter, and the dowry money has added a lot of money, Do a dowry for your daughter.

The fourteenth elder brother, who wants to be strong in everything, is not happy in his heart, but how can he say this?He couldn't ask Kangxi to change his wife, and he had nothing to say to comfort his sick mother, so he had to go out early and return late, try to get busy and not think about these things.

Babeile is well aware of his younger brother's heart disease. Kangxi misses Zhang Jia's family and takes good care of the thirteenth elder brother. The thirteenth elder brother is also considered a picky prince, so Kangxi even plans to train the thirteenth elder brother who does not have the support of his mother's family. As the prince's direct team, it can be regarded as giving his son a future.

The secret concubine Wang is a concubine of Han Dynasty. In the future, the fifteenth elder brother will take her out to take care of her. Let the fifteenth elder brother follow the crown prince, and the prince can use it at ease. In the future, the secret concubine will also have someone to rely on. Brother Six's Fujin background is much worse.

The fourteenth elder brother is at a disadvantage in comparison. The concubine de concubine is too old to easily get Kangxi's attention. Princess Wen Xian stayed in the capital and married him, Tong Jia's family, which is also regarded as Kangxi's caring daughter.Such a son happened to be behind the thirteenth elder brother, and everything seemed to be worse. It was inevitable that Kangxi didn't take it very seriously.

Even back then, if the thirteenth elder brother hadn't been involved in the incident of abolishing the crown prince and personally framed the crown prince and was discovered by Kangxi, I'm afraid it would not have been the fourteenth elder brother's turn.When the fourth elder brother ascended the throne and the thirteenth elder brother gained favor, the two hated this younger brother in their hearts, public and private, and the fourteenth elder brother's situation was not much better than himself.

Thinking of this, Babeile showed a lot of warmth towards Elder Fourteen, and carefully guided everywhere in the Ministry of Justice. In private, he often took his younger brother back to his mansion for entertainment. On holidays, he also dragged Elder Fourteen around. Afraid that he would feel uncomfortable thinking about things when he was free.

Several elder brothers' mansions have started construction, and they are slowly starting to prepare various things for the wedding, not to mention the bride price, the dress needs to be moved in advance, and the jewelry will go to Jiangnan to find new patterns.

The thirteenth elder brother has four Baylor assistants, and the fourteenth elder brother has a secret concubine to help him.Only the fourteenth elder brother was very pitiful, the concubine De concubine was ill, and the House of Internal Affairs inevitably slacked off a bit.

Babeile personally begged Prince Yu that the fourteenth elder brother's mansion must be next to his side, and he had to choose a good house for his younger brother, and he posted silver taels in his private house to buy things for the fourteenth elder brother's mansion.

Brother Fourteen is not a fool. Compared with his brother who is indifferent and facing outsiders, he feels more and more that Babeile is his relative. Bafujin has long been accustomed to the scene of his uncles wandering around his husband, so he calmly tidied up a guest room, The guest rooms next to the ninth and tenth elder brothers were arranged according to the specifications, and were specially used for the fourteenth elder brothers.

Si Fujin knew about it, and felt very sorry. Her mother-in-law was sick, and it was uncomfortable to see her in the palace. Brother Fourteen's marriage was not wronged, but compared to other brothers, he didn't show Concubine De any face.

My husband is quite a brother to the thirteenth elder brother, but he is a lot worse to his own younger brother. I have tried to persuade him, but it is not helpful at all.

It's not surprising that the fourteenth elder brother has become Babeile's little tail. Even the uncles above are willing to associate with him, and others are not envious.

It's just that if they are real brothers, if they don't care about it at all, not only the concubine de concubine will have opinions, but the emperor and other brothers will also have opinions on their husbands.

Si Fujin personally made a few things, so he came to gossip with Ba Fujin, and expressed his gratitude by the way, thanking Ba Fujin for taking care of Fourteenth Elder Brother.

In the evening, Ba Fujin showed a rare expression: "It's hypocritical, I leave my brother alone to take care of the hot stove, and I'm afraid others will take care of it and cause gossip. I've never seen such a brother and sister-in-law!"

Babeile smiled, and his tone was very cold: "Don't talk to them, the fourth brother is the most cold-hearted, he doesn't even talk about face, he has a true temperament, but he likes to turn his face and ignore people, and he is as knowledgeable as them. Not worth it!"

Bafujin nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "Master, if we take care of my younger brother, will it hinder their eyes?"

Babeile smiled, it was Fujin who was worried about him, and gently hugged him into his arms: "What are you afraid of? Fourteenth brother is also my brother, if they don't like it, let them go, because I have done something wrong, How dare you take care of others? Even if there is something, I can afford it, you just follow your heart."
