starling is not a bird

Here, Nanny Qin went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the gift of Sifu Jin, entrusted her old sister with the gift, and gave the gift to the two beautiful girls who were waiting to be married. She took a closer look at the faces of the two, but they were all peaceful and quiet. Yes, after a few instructions, I went back to report.

These two beautiful girls are not very old, one is the youngest daughter of the Tatala family, and the other is the concubine daughter of the Shang family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The courtyard learned the rules together, but was honest, and sent off Nanny Qin respectfully.

The two of them were only in their teens, and when it was time for trouble, the little girls gathered together to watch things.It's just a few bolts of gold-woven satin and fine sweat towels, they don't care about them, only those small jewelry are delicate and exquisite, holding the emerald carved lotus pendant in their hands, the two of them are thinking about what color to wear To match it, the vermilion is too bright, and the pink is too light. In the end, it is decided to use plum red to match the goose egg yolk.

Just after discussing the pendant, the girl from the Shang family found another good thing, a hairpin inlaid with emerald green stones. Although she is a daughter of a concubine, her biological mother is a favored concubine in the family. Naturally, she knows that emerald green stones are very popular recently. In the past, it was used to carve decorations in the palace, but now it is hard to find better materials.

Ama told her mother that the concubine Yi in the palace ordered them to make a string of emerald eighteen son bracelets, which were connected with eighteen emerald beads and two tourmaline beads to the head of the Buddha. The tie belt is worn with pearls, golden bell and pestle, and a six-petal knot with golden dots and green ground. There are two tourmaline pendant corners under the knot.

Ama said that this good green material is extremely rare, and the concubine Yi likes bright colors, a small thing, it is so trivial to make, and it needs to be reworked many times to win the empress's heart.

So as soon as she saw the hairpin, it was as gorgeous as spring waves, as delicate as emerald green, and when she looked at the light, she knew that Sifu Jin must have carefully selected the best ones and sent them here, let alone the hairpin hanging from the bottom. The six pearls are round and lustrous, uniform in size.

Then the girl from his family loved the hairpin so much, she took it and couldn't put it down, and the Shang family smiled, and put her in a bun and put the hairpin in: "This hairpin is really good for my sister's head." It's bright and generous, as if it was specially made for my sister!" He and his family were originally a little older than her, but he was really simple in his heart, so he quickly pulled it out and said, "I don't have the nerve to monopolize such a good thing, and Fujin doesn't." Which one is it for us, why don't we wear it in turn?"

As he spoke, he put it on the Shang family's head, and the Shang family stepped back slightly: "Sister, what are you talking about, my sister and you are one body, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, this emerald stone is beautiful, but I like the Hetian stone better. rings, why don't we each get our own!"

The girl from his family didn't like Hetian's lackluster look at all, so she accepted it with half-push and half-push, happily wearing the hairpin, thinking that she would really become a newcomer in a few days, so she was very happy.

Mosuo of the Shang family is wearing the ring, but his heart is beating secretly. The girl of the Shang family originally thought that Ama was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and wanted to enter the palace to try to get in, but unexpectedly, she rewarded her elder brother as Gege , Ama has regrets in her heart, and she knows it too.

In the past few days, I have heard a lot of gossip, and my own Ama asked someone to pass me a word, saying that although the eighth elder brother was born a bit lower, he is still favored by the emperor, and even his future mother-in-law relies on him to make a fortune. Got a place.

Although it's just Gege in the room, there will still be opportunities in the future after serving her carefully.It's just that other nobles frequently tipped the family these days, which made Ama feel a little uneasy. The elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the eighth elder brother are good friends, and the rewards of the imperial concubine and Yifei empress are naturally appropriate.

But it's not normal for the prince to smile all over his face. Ama didn't say anything, but just told herself that she would send someone in to serve her in the future, so don't pick and choose.Thinking about it, I have always heard that the fourth elder brother is cold and cold, but what does this Si Fujin mean?After all, the Shang family is young, and I don't know why after much deliberation. Fortunately, I was taught since I was a child that it is better to be silent than a thousand words, and now I can only keep silent.

Emperor Kangxi came to Concubine Yi's place today, and among the four concubines, Concubine Yi's outspoken temperament has always been the most popular with him, so he simply didn't want her to serve him according to the rules, and took her to accompany him for dinner, the two talked and laughed so warmly.

After a while, the waiters brought a bowl of porridge with cistanche and venison. Kangxi looked at the rich porridge in his hand, looked at Concubine Yi with a half-smile and said, "Why, you underestimate me, don't you?"

Concubine Yi blushed: "Your Majesty, this is not prepared by my concubine for you, but by your son?"

Kangxi raised his eyebrows: "Yinqi or Yinzhen? It can't be Yinzhen, right?"

Concubine Yi burst into laughter: "It's Lao Jiu!"

Kangxi slowly blew on the porridge in the spoon, and said slowly: "Could it be that he looked at his starling and thought about it himself? He is not young, you should pay more attention, and if you have any good ones, you can put them in his room." Yes, just don't get distracted!"

Concubine Yi still smiled: "Your Majesty, you have wronged him, Lao Jiu really didn't think about it! The concubine thought he thought so, but after asking, she found out that he prepared it for his starling, and said I want to make up for my brother, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it if he's too weak! The concubine was cut off!"

Kangxi put down the bowl and sighed in admiration: "I didn't expect Lao Jiu to have such a considerate thought, why did you cut it down? Is it possible that I still rob my son for food? Haha"

Concubine Yi moved the fashionable side dishes on the table to Kangxi's side, and continued: "The emperor has underestimated my concubine again, but a bowl of porridge, how can I be so stingy! It's just that my concubine went to sit at Concubine Hui's recently to listen to her concubine. It is said that Big Brother also calls Lao Ba over to nourish every day these days, every day it is either stewed oysters with cherries or stewed teal intermittently, or there is stewed deer tail soup, but now she smells the smell of cistanche and she wants to vomit!"

Kangxi's eyes widened and he laughed loudly. Concubine Yi smiled and said: "The emperor knows about Lao Ba's temperament, how can he push back the brothers' kindness? It would be a bad thing if you don't have to mend your body!"

The clever slaves handed over hot towels to the masters to clean their hands. Kangxi smiled for a while and said: "These bastards who are idle and careless, don't do what they should do, just think about these crooked thoughts! Tomorrow I will ask the boss Brother, why did his errand in the Ministry of Rituals drag on for so long? If he dares to shirk, I will ask the Royal Kitchen to make up for him every day! It’s just right if it’s broken!”

The two chatted and laughed again, Kangxi hugged Concubine Yi to discuss how to let Brother Jiu take care of his business, Concubine Yi took the opportunity to confess that Lao Jiu's business is thriving, Kangxi has recently obtained a lot of trivial military affairs in the Northwest, Very satisfied with his son's ability, he promised on the spot that a few younger elder brothers would come out to run errands in a few days.

The eighth elder brother didn't have any entrustment in the first place, and it was only two princesses. The Ministry of Internal Affairs picked an auspicious day to start this matter. Except for the excessive concern and ridicule of a few brothers, the eighth elder brother basically had nothing to do by himself. Running around, I just thought about going out for a stroll.I begged my elder brother to take him out, and the brothers went to wander around the capital for a whole day before they were happy. Brother also endured.

In the evening, Concubine Hui's place still has those terrible dishes. The most annoying thing is that the eldest brother ordered a separate set of regular dishes and ate them on his own. He never cared about the sad eyes of his younger brother. The blood of the venison turtle was about to explode, and I only hoped that that day would come soon.

The so-called new house is just a row of houses selected for the two girls in the yard of the eighth prince. It has been repainted and a few pieces of furniture have been added. The sedan chair was carried into the yard, and nothing else was left.

Standing at the door of the two rooms, looking at the faint candlelight inside, the eighth elder brother didn't know which room to go to first. Sprinkled with fine grains, Xueyi stood on the shelf and refused to fly. The eighth elder brother stretched out his hand and smoothed his feathers and said, "Xueyi, I am in such a difficult situation, why don't you help me?" That Xueyi seemed to be human. , whirled a few times and flew up, landed on the threshold on the left, and the brother Bai who was serving beside him hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Master, this is Shang Gege's room."

The eighth elder brother asked the white brother to take the snow clothes away, and he walked in gently. Inside, under the red candle, there was a newcomer sitting dignifiedly. The eighth elder brother lifted the hipa on her head, and looked at the shy The young girl suddenly lost interest, and always felt that she was already in her dozens of years old, but she accepted such a young child, as if she was younger than her own daughter, and she was a little embarrassed.

After looking at the girl for a while, the eighth elder brother said warmly: "You have been busy all day today, do you have enough to eat?" Gege from the Shang family stood up and gave a blessing: "If you go back to the master, the servant will bring some snacks. , not hungry!"

As he said that, he stood up straight and helped the eighth brother to undress. The eighth brother was tired after being tossed about by his brothers for a day, so she let her serve him on the bed, and when he was next to the pillow, he felt drowsy and sleepy up.

But I heard a soft voice saying in my ear: "Master, are you tired? Let me massage for you!" I felt a pair of delicate hands rubbing my temples, and the eighth elder brother felt comfortable all over, blunt The earth is about to fall into darkness.I was still thinking about the white silk scarf on the bed, remember to tell the nanny tomorrow, don't make this child feel wronged.

It is said that when the new couple entered the room, the courtyard door was quietly opened, and it was none other than the elder brother who came in to listen to the corner with Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi.The three of them quietly asked which room the eighth elder brother was in, and they squatted under the window, but there was no movement for a long time. The three of them looked at each other and felt strange. They taught everything that needed to be taught, and made up what needed to be mended. Why? The crow is not quiet now, is it?But I don't know that it's because they are too warm-hearted that makes the eighth brother exhausted and weak!

The elder brothers never give up, isn't there the wedding night among the four great joys in life?They didn't believe that the eighth elder brother would really live up to this moment's daughter!To encourage each other, we must persevere, we must persist until the end, regardless of the cool night wind and the cold moonlight, the three of us just don't give up!

After a good night's sleep, eighth brother woke up from his sweet dream, opened the door refreshed and saw the dark circles under the eyes of his brothers under the morning light, which was really dazzling compared with the white satin on the bed!

"Brother, you have failed my brother's good intentions!" Xiao Jiu flung his sleeves and ran away angrily.

"Eighth brother, it's a waste of all these days' dinner for Concubine Hui!" The elder brother who hates iron and steel strides away.

The eighth elder brother looked at the old ten, waiting for his complaint, but the old ten came up and patted his brother on the shoulder like an adult and said, "Mynah, you don't need to say anything, I will always respect you, brother!" Then he used the most affectionate and sincere single eyelid After giving Eighth Brother an encouraging and comforting look, he left indifferently.
