Drunk Qingqiu

Prince Lian's Mansion, inner courtyard.

A well-dressed daughter-in-law hurried into the main house in the east courtyard, and asked the little girl at the door: "Has Fujin rested yet?"

The little girl smiled and replied: "Sister-in-law Wu, Fujin just got out of dinner and is free, please wait a moment, I will go back to Fujin." He opened the curtain and let her in.

Yuhua is dressed in a stone-blue silk vest and a peach-red flag outfit. On her head is a double-happiness and double-ruyi long hairpin, corresponding to the earrings with golden clouds and pearls on her ears.At the moment, she was lazily sitting on the reclining chair, holding the tureen in her hand, stirring it with a spoon, and told the big girl standing aside: "Go, give me a bowl of lotus leaf soup, I heard that I have been busy all day." The girl squatted down and went outside the door.

Only then did Yuhua look at Master Wu, and said slowly: "Get up and talk, didn't you just go to Zhuangzi the other day, but why don't you rush back in person?"

Everyone in Wu looked to the left and right, Yuhua understood, nodded to the big girl beside her, Diancui, and Diancui sent everyone in the room out, went to the door and closed it carefully, and stood back to Yuhua behind.

Everyone in Wu knew that Cui was Yuhua's confidant, so he bowed and said directly: "Fujin, according to the master's affairs, the subordinates should not talk too much, but the servants are from Fujin, and I really can't bear it if I don't talk about it."

Yuhua frowned, put the tureen on the table, sat up straight, "You say so."

Everyone in Wu hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the door unconsciously, and then said as if making up his mind: "Fu Jin, you send your servants to take care of things in the village. The servants dare not be unsatisfied, and the master is even more careful when he comes. Serving. At that time, the eighth master happened to be staying at the Zhuangzi. When the wind blew up at night, the little girl serving in the master’s house fell ill and went home. The servant girl personally sent the big clothes to the study. Who knew that there was a famous woman in the study, not a girl. Dressing up, rubbing ink for Ba Ye on the side, and talking and laughing with Ba Ye."

Speaking of this, everyone in Wu took a sneak peek at Yuhua's face, seeing Yuhua's tense face, and the dark and slanted Danfeng eyes could not see any emotion, so he felt a little worried, but he had already said this, so he had to continue: : "The maidservant observed carefully, and saw that every time Baye went to live in Zhuangzi, the woman would go to Baye to show her courteousness in every possible way. The maidservant thought about which girl had the courage to ask people to investigate, but in the end it was not our mansion. The person above. If you look deeper, you won’t be able to find it.”

Yuhua's face became more and more gloomy, and she looked over with cold eyes: "Is this really happening?" Not only Yuhua, but also Diancui, who was standing beside her, also looked surprised.

Yuhua was jealous, and the only two concubines around Yinhu were pointed out by Kangxi because they had been married for many years and had no heirs.On weekdays, there is not even a girl who looks outstanding by Yinhu's side. On Yuhua's side, it seems that she has forgotten to arrange the room.Fortunately, Yinhu never cared about these things.

In fact, including Diancui, three of the four big girls who serve Yuhua are secretly fond of Yinhu, but no one dares to show Yuhua's domineering temper.When meeting with Zhuangzi, there is actually a woman who is courteous to Yinhu, and Diancui is not very happy.

"The slaves don't dare to chew their tongues indiscriminately, and only after seeing each other secretly a few times, they dared to come back to the master."

Yuhua didn't lose her temper, didn't throw things and swear, she still sat calmly with a cold face, only Diancui saw that the nail covers on Yuhua's fingers were dug deeply into the table.

After a while, Yuhua raised her eyes again, her voice was a little hoarse, and said: "It's hard to be loyal to you, go back and keep watching, if there is any movement, report to me immediately." Turning her eyes, she looked anxiously with some anticipation Master Wu: "I remember you have a little daughter, how old is it today?"

Everyone in Wu hurriedly said: "My name is Yaya, I will be 12 years old after the new year, because I have a little face as a servant, now I will fight with the little elder brother."

Yuhua smiled lightly, and said: "Tomorrow, I will be promoted to a second-class girl, and the monthly money will be paid by me."

If it was said that everyone in Wu family was still worried about telling the master about the secret just now, now they are also happy and blossoming, and hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

Yuhua waved her hand and said, "As long as you do things with all your heart, I will naturally not treat you lightly. Tomorrow, you draw up a list of people in Zhuangzi and send someone to send it over."

Everyone in Wu was taken aback, and asked cautiously with 12 points: "Fu Jin wants to get the people over there..."

The corner of Yuhua's mouth curled up into a smile, which caused Diancui and everyone in Wu to shiver at the same time, and Yuhua said sharply: "The Zhuangzi is full of good people who go out of this house! Everyone is used to eating Those who climbed outside, I don’t know how an outsider can hold them more than me, a serious master, and no one told me.” Yuhua said here, snorted, thought carefully for a while, and said: “Master Let those confidantes stay put, since the rest of them are just for show, let them go. I will be more magnanimous, and I will not let people use torture, so as to save someone from telling the truth. My reputation doesn't matter, sir. Face is important."

Everyone in Wu's head was sweating. Most of the people in this village were born in the family. If they were dismissed, they would naturally lose face, and it would be difficult to find a job in the future.Unexpectedly, her words would cause so many people to be unlucky.Everyone in Wu didn't dare to say anything more, so they bowed and withdrew.

Only then did Yuhua let go of the hand that was clasped on the table, and with a raised hand, swept down all the teapots and tea bowls on the table.Sitting on the chair, he was stunned for a while, but his anger did not decrease but increased.

After a while, Yuhua said with a gloomy face: "The day after tomorrow, I will go to Zhuangzi again... I will go there as soon as the news from Master Wu comes back. Diancui, you go outside and give orders, a few housekeepers, and bring some more people." , I don't believe I can let her run away."

Dian Cui quickly agreed and went out to give orders.

.. ......

Nine elder brothers' mansion, osmanthus courtyard.

Looking at the gift list Jiahui handed over, Yinzhen frowned slightly.Jiahui asked puzzledly: "Master, what's wrong? I prepared the ceremony according to last year's routine. If there are any additions or subtractions, please let me know."

Yinzhen put down the list in his hand, turned his head to look at Jiahui, and said with a smile, "You prepared well, but the fourth brother's courtesy is [-]% more than in previous years. I will let Guanshi You find some Western young men. Adding things to it makes it look more novel." Yinzhen looked down and saw the Buddhist beads protruding from his sleeves, his heart moved, and he said again: "Tomorrow, I will ask Gao Wen to find some Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist incense or Buddhist beads from the temple, and use a box When it’s ready, Fourth Brother will definitely like it.”

Jiahui thought for a while, then tilted her head and smiled: "What I said is that the fourth brother is keen on worshiping the Buddha, and he really likes these things. But why did the master suddenly change the rules this year? But do you want to ask the fourth brother?"

Yinzhen stretched out his hand to straighten the crooked pearl hairpin on Jiahui's head, and sighed a bit embarrassed: "Yes, I seem to have offended fourth brother recently. I should get closer to fourth brother even if I don't do it for myself, but for you. On the fourth brother's birthday, I will go there in person." Yinzhen didn't quite understand why Yinzhen ignored her these days, which made him a little uneasy.

Jiahui seemed to understand, she stared blankly at Yinzhen's face which was close at hand, her face slowly turned red.

Jiahui lowered her head and pinched the handkerchief in her hand, raised her eyes and asked, "Master, I will take a bath in the next day, what are your plans? I may have to go back to Dong E's mansion that day..." Jiahui was not worried that she would not be at the mansion, What will the other concubines do?After all these years, she had already seen that Yinzhen really did what she said, and Yinzhen would never have another woman.

"Well, you just go, go early and return early, and let the three brothers of the Zhou family escort you. The day after tomorrow, the old ten told me to go to the starling Zhuangzi." After finishing speaking, Yinzhen thought for a while and said: "If we can come back sooner, we can Take Hong Jia out for a walk."

.. ......

It wasn't until Yinhu arrived at Yinhu Zhuangzi that he realized that Yinhu, Yinqi, and Yinzhen were discussing how to deal with the prince's remaining party today.

Yinzhen was wearing a brown robe, and the cuffs and collar of the dark red vest were rolled with silver young fox down. Even so, he pushed Yinyu who was occupying the side of the brazier to the side, and sat down by himself.

Yin Qu gave him a look of contempt, and continued: "So it's a good excuse for the meeting of the drinking case to be held together."

Yinhu smiled slightly, "What the old ten said was that Huang Ama didn't investigate this matter back then because he wanted to stabilize the chaotic court situation and people's hearts. Now that the prince is abolished, naturally he won't tolerate it anymore."

Yinzhen raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "Well, this matter can be big or small. Although there is something wrong with the banquet during the funeral of a county king, it won't make Huang Ama so angry, but Those people he invited, now it seems, have a lot to say. Tuo Heqi, the infantry commander, Qi Shiwu, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Geng E, the minister of the Ministry of war, plus the dozen or so Eight Banners and Deputy Dutongs, are all Military officials, a crony hat will kill them."

Yinhu nodded, and glanced towards Yinhu, seeing that Yinhu was not as indifferent as in the past, as if he was listening carefully, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then said: "This case is easy to hear, as for this case Let the third brother settle the case in the end. In the end, he would like to make a splash in front of Huang Ama, we younger brothers can't miss the beauty of adults."

Yinbi glanced at her mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "Just like that nerd of his, who is still delusional..."

Yinzhi really has the heart to compete for the reserve. These days, he is strict and careful with the errands assigned by Kangxi, and gradually treats his younger brothers with the demeanor of an elder brother.Yinti and Yinreng are both imprisoned now, and he, the third child, is now the veritable eldest son.

Seeing Yinhu's smile slowly curling up at the corner of his mouth, Yinyu knew that he was scheming again, so he couldn't help thinking: this time the case is closed, the prince will be suppressed as much as possible, and the crime of Tuoheqi will not be lightened.Although Huang Ama meant this in his heart, it didn't mean that he was happy to see his elder brothers treat the prince like this. Sure enough, Yinhu still tried his best and left this thankless task to Yinzhi who was eager to show off.

Fortunately, the relationship between the Baye Party and officials has been far worse recently.Of course, the fawning of the officials must have increased again. Even when Yinzhen was recuperating at home, many people sent gifts to her, but Jiahui sent away all the people who sent messages asking to see her.

"As for the crime of Tuoheqi, Baotai needless to say, it belongs to our side. I will say hello to Yaerjiang, and the rest will have nothing to say. When the time comes, I will find someone to give my third brother a few words. The crime of entrusting Heqi is serious." Yinhu took the tea bowl from the maid, handed it to Yinyu who sat inside, and said: "As for the fourth brother, there is the matter of the thirteenth brother. will say anything."

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, the fourth brother wouldn't say anything, because what was the matter about Thirteen?When he saw the familiar anger on Yinji's face again, he suddenly thought of the arrogance and rudeness Tuo Heqi showed to them two elder brothers who did not like Kangxi when he went out with the old thirteen.Yinzhen looked down at the tea bowl in his hand, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.Although the Tian family has no brothers, the Aixinjueluo family seems to protect their shortcomings.

Yinzhen laughed, "Brother doesn't need to bother, I will go to the third brother's house in person in a while, and talk to him about it."

After the discussion between the three, it was nearly noon when Yinhu invited the three of them to have dinner here.Because Yinzhen still had something to do in the military department, and Yinzhen was thinking about Hongjia, the two left first, and Yinzhen saw it and followed him along the way.

Yinhu was the only one left in the huge study room, Yinhu exhaled softly, and slowly sat down on the chair that Yinhu had just been waiting for by the brazier.After he could no longer see the three of them, he turned his gaze back to look at his right hand.The hand that touched Yinzhen just now, when he left, resisted not to pull him to stay.

A woman in light green clothes turned around from behind the screen, and a trace of resentment flashed in Yinhu's eyes when she looked at Yinhu, and then disappeared before Yinhu raised her head.She walked forward with a smile, put her hands on Yinhu's shoulders and rubbed them lightly, and said gently, "Master, I just cooked some of my favorite dishes with my own hands, if nothing happens today..."

Yinhu closed his eyes, tried hard to suppress the desire in his heart, and silently thought: Yinhu's influence on him is getting bigger and bigger, and when he sees him leave, he feels lonely.That kind of psychological loneliness secretly deepened the desire in the body.

The woman saw that Yinhu was leaning on the chair and did not speak, so she thought it was her answer, she slid her hand gently on Yinhu's body, and muttered in her mouth: "Master, Lan'er is willing to serve Master, no need for title, as long as she can be by Master's side." good."

Yinhu suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the woman in front of him lightly, stretched out his hand and pushed her away, and said: "I still have some things to deal with today, so I hurry back. You can also go back to the house as soon as possible, so as to save your father from worrying. "

The woman's eyes were red, she bit her lip, and said in a low voice: "Lan'er is waiting for the master to come back, anyway, I have sent people back to the house."

Yinhu got up, took the documents on the table, saw the woman hesitated to speak, turned and went out the door.

The woman stood in the study for a long time in a daze before turning around and walking out the door.As soon as he returned to the west courtyard, he saw a girl kneeling on the ground, it was his personal maid, and the maid hurriedly gave her a wink when she saw her coming.

The woman went in without knowing it, and just about to speak, she suddenly heard footsteps, and when she turned around again, she saw many strange daughters-in-law and servants, surrounding the courtyard.

After a little effort, there are many maids and women who come in with a person hugging the moon like stars.The bright red flag outfit, the multicolored silk vest, the pure white sable fur cape, and the palace sash around the body are all luxurious and exquisite.The whole person is bright and beautiful, not angry but majestic, with a pair of phoenix eyes slanted, looking her up and down with a smile that is not a smile.

A daughter-in-law once said: "The eight blessings have arrived, and they are not polite yet!"

The woman's face turned pale, she took a step back, stood still, and bowed to Yuhua: "The little girl, Qin Lan, has seen Bafujin. Because Baye has a little contact with our Qin family, the little girl occasionally comes to send Baye Some things. It’s really impolite to harass on Zhuangzi, and I haven’t met Fujin yet, but I happened to meet here, please Fujin.”

Yuhua smiled, pushed away the hand of the daughter-in-law who was supporting her, walked a few steps forward, and said, "Oh, look at this appearance, this articulateness, even a woman like me would be so weak, it's hard for me to come to Zhuangzi often Yes. This red sleeve adds to the fragrance, and the beautiful lady serving ink really makes people linger."

Qin Lan took another step back, and still insisted, "Where is Fujin, the little girl is just a guest after all, and doesn't care about other things."

Yuhua sneered, and said: "Well, you don't need to emphasize to me that you are the guest of the Lord. I didn't think about what to do with you. You are not a servant of my house. Even if you climbed into another man's bed, you shouldn't Let me teach you the rules. Come and bring them into the house."

Two confidant daughters-in-law escorted Qin Lan into the house, and Yuhua entered the house behind.

"However, none of the people who dared to touch my Yuhua's things got it. Master Wu, bring the medicine." Yuhua narrowed her eyes and greeted.Master Wu stepped forward with a bowl of medicine in hand.

Qin Lan naturally knew that it was not a good thing, so she struggled quickly, and when she couldn't break free, she shouted loudly.

Everyone slapped Qin Lan over with a slap, grabbed Qin Lan's hair, and gulped down the medicine.

Yuhua smiled slightly and said: "Originally, I was also a soft-spoken and soft-hearted, and I hated this the most, but if you dare to provoke me, you should pay a price. This medicine will save the girl a lot of trouble in the future. I am not afraid of the pain of giving birth.”

Qin Lan's face turned completely pale, staring at Yuhua viciously, struggling and shouting in a hoarse voice: "You, you—" Before the words came out, Master Wu slapped them again.

Qin Lan's hair also fell loose, but she stopped struggling and laughed loudly, and the two daughters-in-law who supported her murmured, are they crazy?

Qin Lan suddenly raised her head and stared at Yuhua bitterly from behind her disheveled hair: "Even if you rely on your status as a dominance, you are just a poor substitute. You really liked you when you were the eighth master? He saw that It's just your eyes! There is no difference between you and me except for our identity! They are just a substitute for that person!"

Yuhua's walking steps suddenly stopped, and when she turned around, her fingers trembled: "Give me, pull me down and beat me!"

Qin Lan was finally rescued by Yinhu who rushed over, and ordered people to send him back to the mansion.Then he turned around and went to the courtyard where Yuhua was staying.

Seeing Yuhua's eyes were red and swollen, Yinhu frowned, and said lightly: "It's just an outsider, is it worthy of your anger? That person will never come here again, so calm down."

Yuhua stared at Yinhu for a long time, then wiped her face, and said in a hoarse but arrogant voice: "Master, who do you take me as a substitute for?"
