Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

When the new year came, the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month was the night of New Year's Eve. Kangxi still took his sons to worship the ancestors. After returning, he held a banquet in the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion.

Generally speaking, this year has been very unpleasant. In the second half of the year, Kangxi passed away a grandson and brother, so although the New Year was happy, it was a bit of a joy, and everyone laughed very reservedly. Some forced smiles.

Kangxi looked at the third child, and sighed in his heart. He also had his son's death, and he knew this feeling best.

Even the usually big-hearted Queen Mother sighed at this time, "If only Chang Ning was still there, he would be able to greet me on the first day of junior high school."

Those who celebrated the New Year said it was unlucky, not to mention that everyone had already passed away, Kangxi was expressionless, Tian Mi sitting next to him quickly coaxed the Queen Mother to say something else.

But as the saying goes, some families are happy and some are sad. The boss is very happy. He has a son. When he turned his head, he saw a group of Fujin sitting together, and his own Fujin hugged his son.He is very happy in his heart, and he will be in a good mood after he is beautiful, and he is willing to say something that his elder brother should say: "Last year, the seventh child was not there, and this year the fourth child is not. They went north last year, and one went south this year. I hope Let's get together next year brothers."

After finishing speaking, he raised the cup, "Come on, brothers, have a toast."

Everyone who celebrated the Chinese New Year gave him this face, raised the cups in their hands, drank a cup and drank it.After the boss put down the cup, he looked at the prince with a bit of drunkenness, "After the new year, we will wait for the good news from the prince's family. I wish the prince an early birth."

Many people present got some news. The baby in the princess's belly is a girl. The boss said this to annoy the prince. They had a glass, and each drank down the wine.

Seeing that the prince didn't speak, the boss became emotional at this time, so he put out his money as a big brother.He patted the third child on the shoulder, "I know you're uncomfortable, but there's nothing we can do about it. The child has nothing to do with us. Don't be so sad, you two should work harder to have another one."

It wasn't his eldest son who was born again, the third child didn't want to talk to him at this time, and reached out to pat the eldest son's hand on his shoulder.Considering that the third child has been crying and mourning for a while, the eldest doesn't take it seriously, because the fourth child is not here, so he directly mentions the fifth child's name, "Yinqi, you promised in front of the queen mother last year that you will have a baby this year, so I haven't seen the child until now, what would you say if the queen mother asks me later?"

The fifth child is almost disgusting, and I don't have any children for you to take care of!Did you eat your rice or drink your water?

Skip the seventh brother and say directly to the eighth brother: "Eighth brother, I can't imitate your fifth brother. You two should work harder and have a baby quickly."

The eighth elder brother nodded with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to lift the jug on the wine table, and poured a glass of wine for the boss through a few people, "Thank you for thinking about it, brother, I would like to offer you a glass."

The eldest drank it happily, and the ninth directly picked up the cup and stood up and pulled the arm of the tenth. The two stood up and went to find the queen mother.

The boss was a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but said to the fifth brother: "What's wrong with the ninth brother? I want to talk to him, and he stands up and leaves. Are there any rules?!"

A kind-hearted person like Lao Wu couldn't help but retort, "You are the eldest brother, why ask me? He has no rules and you can just teach him a lesson. It's my turn to arrange how to arrange here."

The eldest brother was speechless, and the prince couldn't help laughing: "Fifth brother is right, when the two of them come back later, the eldest brother will also set up rules for them, let us younger brothers take a look. "

Lao Qi laughed on the side, very loudly.Since the boss came back from the seventh, the two have been fighting for the power of the Ministry of War, and the fight is a little impatient.So just now when he skipped over the seventh child, he also meant to ignore him.

At present, although the seventh brother has little chance of winning, it took a lot of effort from the eldest brother. At this time, the seventh brother and the prince sang together, and the eldest brother was annoyed. The eighth brother volunteered to play forward for him, acting like a peacemaker. He poured wine into the wine cups of Prince Edward and Seventh Prince from the jug.

"Old Nine is indeed a little outrageous. When I come back later, my younger brother said that he hasn't seen His Royal Highness for a while. What have you been up to lately?"

The prince didn't even give him a look, nor did he cast a look at the glass of wine in front of him. He looked down at his palm, and then put his eyes on Kangxi.

The eighth elder brother didn't change his face, but talked to the seventh elder brother. The two brothers were sitting next to each other, so they seemed intimate when they chatted. The errand runners just say it, and the younger brothers will never refuse."

With so many servants, he wouldn’t really let him run errands, this is just a polite word, Seventh Brother smiled, “You should study more, I heard that you have gotten very close to those scholars in the capital recently, why don’t you Why don't you go to the third brother for advice?"

After the third child heard it, he picked up his wine glass to study the pattern on his wine glass.Everyone can't talk about it at all, even if they are both scholars, there are times when they don't like each other.If the eighth child really came looking for him, the third child must find a way to hide.

The eighth elder brother is very polite, "The books my younger brother reads are all superficial. The third brother has learned a lot. The third brother's knowledge is even praised by Huang Ama. It is really wrong to point me out. I am wronged. When you get to the point where you have to ask Qu Ju’s teeth, go and ask the third brother.”

After hearing this, the third child felt much better, and raised his head to give the eighth child a smiling face.

Several older people present couldn't help but cursed in their hearts.

Eleven and Twelve, Thirteen listened with gusto, and Fourteen stared at Brother Eight the whole time.

Maybe it was because his eyes were too warm, Old Eight turned to look at Fourteen, "What's the matter? Why are you looking at me? You want to drink, no, you are still young."

Thirteen really thought that Fourteen wanted to drink, so he tugged at his sleeve under the table, "Come on, let's go to the door to play."

Shisi jumped off the stool with him, and the two of them ran out holding hands. Thirteen watched for a while, and saw a eunuch coming with a wine jug, and hurriedly stopped him, "Squat down, I want to check the wine."

The eunuch didn't know his purpose, so he quickly squatted down. Elder Thirteen picked up the flagon and shook it, and found that it was full, he immediately put it to his mouth, lay down on the spout, sucked a mouthful and stuffed it to Fourteen.

14 was just being naughty when he was young, so he quickly leaned forward and took a sip from the spout.The expressions of the two people were changed by the hotness. After drinking this sip, they immediately put the hip flask on the tray, leaned on the side railing, and stuck out their tongues out.

"Elder brother, two elder brothers?" The eunuchs didn't dare to move, so they had to kneel in a row with the trays in their hands. The eunuchs watched them spit out while clapping their throats while lying on the railing.

But after drinking the liquid, it burned my throat so hot that I couldn't spit it out no matter how much it went from my throat to my stomach.The two of them retched for a while, and felt that the smell was a little weaker, so they couldn't help but ran back to drink water together.

Before going back, Shisi told the eunuch, "Send it in as usual, don't say too much, if you dare to say it, you will be beaten."

The eunuchs looked at each other in blank dismay, and at last they saw someone in charge urging them in at the door, and these people braved the bullet and sent the wine in.

Unfortunately, the wine on the first tray these two little creatures drank was destined for the imperial court.Li Dequan saw that the jug was not well placed, and when he picked it up, he couldn't help but glared at the eunuch. The eunuch quickly winked at Li Dequan, and his eyes almost twitched.

Li Dequan didn't know what the other party meant for a while, so he heard Kangxi say behind him: "Li Dequan, you old slave is not suitable for use, why are you standing there?"

Li Dequan quickly pretended to turn around and poured a glass for Kangxi with the jug.Kangxi asked the queen mother who was sitting on the side: "Why don't you have a drink too, the empress dowager."

"I'm not used to drinking this, the imperial concubine and I just drink kumiss."

Tian Mi handed her small wine cup to the maid next to her, and asked her to take it away, "I'll accompany the Queen Mother, let's drink a big bowl and eat a big piece of meat today."

The flagon in Li Dequan's hand was placed on the table, and he took the empty flagon and handed it back.

Shisan and 14 looked at the wine jug in Kangxi's hand, looked at each other, and buried their heads in it at the same time.

After the banquet was over, the maids put away the dishes, and the time to ask for the New Year's money came.

After receiving the order of the prince, the three sons of the prince got up at the same time, went to Kangxi together, knelt down respectfully, and then the daughters of the prince followed and said a few auspicious words.The Empress Dowager and Kangxi asked people to reward them with lucky money.

The elder brother is angry, and there is nothing he can do about it, the prince has already taken a step ahead.The girls in his house walked over hand in hand, and the eldest girl held her younger brother in her arms, and put her younger brother in Kangxi's arms for him to see when she kowtowed.

This princess is No.1 among Kangxi's grandchildren, and he is also the oldest.Kangxi was deeply impressed by her. Seeing that she was graceful and graceful, he couldn't help feeling satisfied, and praised Da Fujin, saying that she would raise her daughter.

Da Fujin left the table to thank him, and the boss felt that the game had been saved, and smiled again on his face.The prince was depressed. Compared with this eldest niece, the girls in the family were really like a mouse after seeing a cat, and they were a bit out of control.

The third son's family had children born to concubines Gege, those concubines were not eligible to enter the palace, and San Fujin was not willing to bring children born to others when he had no children, so no one from the third son's family went up to kowtow.At this time, Concubine Rong felt that her daughter-in-law had done too much, but what San Fujin did made the hearts of the Fujins light up. Yes, in the future, she will bring her own children into the palace, so why bother with those concubines!

Next came the three children of the fourth family, two girls and a boy.

Like the elder brother's family, the fourth elder brother's family is currently showing a situation of yin and yang decline. The younger sisters are not as harmonious as the girls in the eldest elder brother's family. They come hand in hand. They follow the younger brother, one on the left and one on the right. Two little tails followed one by one.

The auspicious words were also spoken by Hong Hui, so Tian Mi had no choice but to stand up for the two girls, "These two little princesses are thin-skinned and too shy, why are you embarrassed in front of the queen mother, come on, you two come to the front Come."

The two of us had no choice but to lower our heads and dawdled in front of the Queen Mother. The chubby, white and tender little girl, even with her small body and small arc twisting back and forth, is still very cute.

"Happy New Year to the Empress Dowager and you, Huang Mafa."

The older one can still muster up the courage to look up at people, while the younger one has a low voice and looks shy with her head down, but the Queen Mother can also hear it.She was very pleasantly surprised, "You can also speak Mongolian, you should be rewarded."

After the three children from the fourth family went down, the fifth and eighth families had no children, and the seventh child was still legally bachelor, and his return period was short, and no good news came from his side Fujin.

Kangxi felt a little discouraged, and the number of grandchildren was not many at present, and he could still remember that after preparing so much New Year's money, there were still many unrewarded. Even if the granddaughter was included, the number of people still seemed thin.

So the rest of the New Year's money is cheaper. There are five brothers from the eleventh to the fifteenth.

When the game was over, he called the old five, the seventh and the eighth over, and encouraged the three sons to spread their branches and leaves early.

The three sons agreed very well. After watching them leave, Kangxi looked at the back of the fifth child for a while, and let out the breath in his chest silently.

When he returned to the Qian Palace with Tianmi to change clothes, he still didn't believe Lao Wu's assurance, "Lao Wu's heart is too soft."

"What's wrong with a child being kind?"

"A soft heart is not benevolence. What he does has nothing to do with benevolence. If our family wants to produce a benevolent person, he still has a long way to go. I don't think he will become a benevolent person. Look at Putting it in the backyard, worrying about the love of children all day long, it is very difficult to do great things.”

The two of them rode together, and when the sedan chair went halfway outside, Li Dequan came to report. "The thirteenth master and the fourteenth master are outside, and they have something to say to the emperor."

Kangxi was quite surprised, so he called his two sons to him.

There is a relatively large space in the sedan chair, and there is a brazier. After the two children came over, they knelt on the side of the brazier, one on the left and one on the right.

"My son is asking for guilt." Fourteen finished speaking and looked up at Kangxi, "My son and Brother Thirteen accidentally drank Huang Ama's imperial wine, please punish Huang Ama."

After Kangxi finished listening, he opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, and said: "Oh".

Then the two children didn't know what it meant, so they looked at each other and had to kneel down.Thirteen was relatively close to Tian Mi, and quietly tugged at the corner of Tian Mi's clothes.

Tian Mi patted his little hand, Shisan refused to give up, and reached out to tug at the hem of his clothes.Tian Mi could only turn her head to look at Kangxi, "Your Majesty..."

"Go back and talk."

After returning to Chengqian Palace, the two of them were placed in the main hall. Although there was a brazier and the surrounding lights were bright, they were left in the main hall, which was empty without even a servant.

Thirteenth asked: "Brother Fourteenth, do you think we should be punished to reflect here?"

"I'm thinking about it."

"No wonder you didn't speak just now, what did you reflect on?"

"Don't tell you."

Thirteen got angry, "Hmph, you just don't want to get along with me, and I won't get along with you in the future." Chirping, I can think of you for anything, but you can't think of me, it's annoying you to death.

Thirteen turned around angrily, Fourteen took a look and didn't try to coax him, he was still thinking about starling.When he found Concubine Liang just now, he found that Concubine Liang was asking the palace servants if the side Fujin from Starling's mansion had arrived.

The concubine Gege is not qualified to come, but the side Fujin is.People from the Yonghe Palace inquired around, and heard that the side Fujin Xi Tara did not come, and the concubine Liang did not receive a report from the Xi Tara for a while.

This year she has had a very difficult time, while dealing with other people in the palace with a smile and a smile, she is also worried about this daughter-in-law who is not a daughter-in-law.

The fourteenth elder brother saw that Er Niang was so embarrassed and couldn't help but asked: "Why don't you ask the starling why she didn't come?"

Concubine Liang just sighed at that time, there was too much bitterness in it, Brother Fourteen felt uncomfortable, plus today at the banquet, mynah seemed to have both sides, but in fact he was willing to be the boss' minion.The way he bowed his head to his brothers so easily made Fourteen feel extremely shameless.

He thought silently in his heart: It would be fine if you were a little tougher, but why are you so soft?What are you trying to figure out?Even if you have such and other shortcomings like the third or fifth brother, I don't dislike you, but I just look down on your behavior.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely sad, and after a while, an eunuch held a lantern and asked the two of them to lie down in the back hall for a while, "The emperor said, don't care about those who celebrate the New Year, but this matter still has to be punished, wait Let’s talk about it after the new year. The empress said that the two elder brothers will not be allowed to walk back and forth in the cold weather, so let’s make do with elder brother Honghui and sleep for a night, and the servants will invite the masters to wake up when the time comes.”

The two of them squeezed into the same bed with Hong Hui and slept for most of the night. When it was almost dawn, they were woken up, and they had to go to the palace next year to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

Tian Mi and Kangxi didn't sleep all night. After changing clothes in Chengqian Palace, they went to Compassionate Ning Palace to talk with them.At daybreak, the gate of the palace opens, and the men and women separate. The men go to the Qianqing Palace to congratulate, and the women come to the Kunning Palace behind.

Fourteen took the opportunity to call Lao Ba out, but saw Lao Ba go to a remote place to talk with a strange official.

Fourteen or so looked at no one, followed quietly, and heard the official say: "Don't worry about this matter, if something really happens, everything will be blamed on Da Chitose. Since Mingxiang left, we will It has become a state of disunity, thanks to Eighth Master's action, otherwise he would definitely be bullied to death by the people of the Suo Party, and the servants know who to listen to, so please rest assured, master."

Fourteenth heard the eighth elder brother laugh out lowly, couldn't help but move forward, and heard the old eighth say: "This kind of thing is convenient for others, hello, hello, hello everyone, if you let the master know who If you are disobedient, don't blame the master for being ruthless."

"Don't worry, the slaves know the rules..."

Brother Eight raised his hand, quietly walked to the back of the corridor, stretched out his hand and dragged out a person, "Fourteen?"

The official quickly threw off his sleeves and greeted Fourteen, "My slave greets Fourteenth Master."

"You are a bannerman, which banner? What is your official position now? What's your name? Who is your Ama?"

The official looked at the eighth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother waved his hand, and the official quickly retreated.

Lao Ba let go of his hand and rearranged his younger brother's clothes, "He is a man after all, how could he do such a disgraceful thing? Don't do such sneaky things in the future."

"Why do you say me? Because you and I were born of the same mother? Or because you are so powerful now that you can bully your brother casually?"

The eighth elder brother listened to the thorny words, looked down, and found that this little brother is also old now, eats so much and grows fast, standing here can already reach his chest, and he will be the same as himself in a few years Taller.

Thinking back when the fourth brother was my age and I was fourteen, at that time I dared to trick the fourth brother.This is really the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave, and the front wave died on the beach. Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing, and put my hand on my brother's shoulder and patted it.

Fourteen turned his head to look at the hand on his shoulder. Just by looking at the ring on his finger, he could tell it was a good thing.

"Those who didn't know thought that the starling was raised by the empress. This style can catch up with the prince. Now let people look at the style of the whole body and the accessories used on the body. It doesn't look like it was raised by the sinful woman of Xinzheku. of."

The eighth elder brother was obviously angry, he slapped his younger brother's shoulder, and exerted a little bit of strength under restraint, "Nonsense...have you considered Er Niang when you say that?"

"It's not that I'm a rebellious son. At the very least, I dare to admit that my mother-in-law was born in Xin Zheku. Do you dare to admit it? I wish I could become Concubine Hui's parent and son, begging for mercy. It looks so pitiful. Everyone says that benevolence will be benevolent. You have acted pitifully to this extent, what did Concubine Hui do to you?"

The eighth elder brother was obviously angry, and the smile on his face could no longer be maintained, "Fourteen, the elder brother who is celebrating the Chinese New Year does not care about you, and if I let my elder brother hear you say that in the future, my elder brother will not let you off so easily. "

"You'd better not spare me. I heard that you are very powerful. The servants in this palace all say that you are good. When the time comes, you will let someone poison me to death with a pack of medicine. Remember not to let me die so badly, or else Er Niang cried too much. If you can do this for Er Niang, you are considered a good son."

"Fourteen, what on earth are you trying to say with all the fuss in your mouth?"

"Haven't I already said what I want to say? Don't you want to admit your mother? Since you don't want to admit it, don't let your daughter-in-law piss her off all day. Let me tell you, she will save 20 lives when she meets you two. I don’t know how much he owed you two in his previous life? In this life, he cut her again and again like a blunt knife. You Fujin gave some fabrics for the New Year, and they were all summer clothes. You can see the light of the sky if you are thin, you know She has no power in the palace and walks on thin ice all day long, so why can't I give her something that can be used in winter? You know that she has nothing to give in the palace, and when she meets someone's birthday, she and the palace maid do it every year. For her embroidery work, she expects to use the things your family sent into the palace to get favors with others. In winter, is she ashamed to send out such thin fabrics? Even if your family is giving alms to the servants, you shouldn't be so arbitrary, right? Not to mention all the things in the past, being a brother to you is really bad luck for eight lifetimes. My mother gave birth to you, it is really better not to have her."

After finishing speaking, he left, Eighth Brother really didn't know what Fujin sent to the palace, and he didn't worry about such things, so he quickly pulled Fourteen, "Speak clearly... Forget it, don't say it , this is my fault, I will go to Yonghe Palace with you later to pay my respects to Er Niang, for the sake of Er Niang we two are kind, don't talk back to me in front of Er Niang, I will ask someone to give Er Niang two days later Send things in. If you have any grievances, please tell me, Er Niang, don't hide it like before."

"You don't have to be hypocritical here."

"Lu Yao knows that horsepower can see people's hearts for a long time, how my heart treats Erniang, you will look back."

"I'll wait and see!"

The two brothers went back to the Qianqing Palace. Fourteen paid attention to the officials who came and went, and found that the one who had talked to Lao Ba just now was no longer visible. The officials who came to the Qianqing Palace were in batch after batch during the New Year's greetings. They just left.Fourteen didn't see anyone and didn't think too much about it. When the congratulations were over, everyone dispersed, and the princes went to the harem to bid farewell to the ladies and left.

The eighth elder brother and the fourteenth went to the Yonghe Palace together. Concubine Liang was very pleasantly surprised to see the eldest son coming, which can be called overjoyed.

"Lao Ba is here, come and sit down quickly. What kind of tea do you want to drink? A few days ago, I went to the next door to talk to the imperial concubine. She rewarded me with more than ten kinds. By the way, there are also fruit teas and scented teas from Jiangnan. They are all very good." later you take it back to your daughter-in-law and Sitara."

She wanted to ask her son what was wrong with Sitara, but it was not appropriate to ask her when they first met, so she thought of asking her again when her son left.

The eighth elder brother took a look at the furnishings in the palace with a teacup in his hand. They were all half-new and not old, and they could be called Erniang's status. There were no extra valuables.Because it was the Chinese New Year, no matter the concubine or the maid, they all dressed up beamingly, richly and gorgeously.

He looked at the jewelry on the Liang concubine's head, and couldn't help praising: "The eight treasure hairpin on Erniang's head is pretty good."

Concubine Liang touched it, revealing a red gold bracelet inlaid with red jewels on her arm, "Is this one? It was given to me by Wang Guiren years ago. When she went to see Elder Brother Fifteen, she often came to sit with me and give it to me. I bought a pair of hairpins and a few hairpins. They are so gorgeous that they can be worn during the Chinese New Year. She didn’t want to accept them at first, but she said that she couldn’t use them now, and the color would not brighten after a long time. The eight empresses all gave it away, and I saw that everyone accepted it, so I accepted it."

Seeing the eighth elder brother's gaze on the bracelet on his wrist, he explained: "This is when your younger brother was playing with the thirteenth elder brother a few years ago, and he tore Thirteen's clothes. I did it overnight. Send a new one to Shisan, it's a gift from Concubine Tong, even though it's too expensive, she won't take it back, after a few years, I thought it would match this dress, so I took it out and used it."

The eighth elder brother pulled a smile on his face, "Wang Guiren and Tong Concubine are too polite, and my son will give them a gift later. This is a normal human relationship. If they give it to Er Niang again, they can just keep it. The son is not returning it." I am sorry for this gift."

"You don't need to be busy, I have already paid back the gift."

The eighth elder brother took a sip of tea from the cup, and the scene fell silent. Neither the mother nor the son knew what to say.

Fourteen was sitting behind Concubine Liang, and after seeing the silence at the scene, she couldn't help shouting: "Emiang, my son didn't eat a few bites today, is there any pastry, let them bring some plates over and let my son fill up first." .

"Yes, it was still steaming when it was delivered just now. I don't know if it's still hot now. There are salty ones and sweet ones. I remember that Lao Ba likes salty ones, and Fourteen likes sweet ones. They bring them all over, and you brothers share."

Lao Ba put the cup aside and waited cooperatively.

Four or five maids filed in and filled the table.

The eighth elder brother can see that the imperial concubine didn't charge too much for her mother, and she had everything she should have. A few kinder empresses entered the palace, and they also used various methods to subsidize their mothers in private.

This kindness must be remembered!

This year's New Year's Eve is indeed a good day for the Liang concubines. Both sons are here. She puts a few pieces of pastries for each of their brothers and puts them on a plate, and with a smile on her face, she asks them to eat more.

But the joyous atmosphere didn't last long. Brother Ba took a few bites when a eunuch came over and asked him to leave, "Concubine Hui said that my son hasn't seen Ba Ye for a while, please go and talk to Ba Ye."

The smile on Concubine Liang's face disappeared immediately, and she quickly put on a smile again, "Since it was Concubine Hui who asked you to go, go quickly."

Fourteen sneered at the starling behind Concubine Liang, who sat still and said, "It's okay, our mother and son haven't spoken for a few days, my son sit here and talk to you for a while."

Concubine Liang was also reluctant to drive him away, but there was a sentence that had to be said, "I haven't seen Fang Fujin in your house for the past two days? What's wrong? Are you sick?"

The eighth elder brother paused while eating, "Ah, yes, I caught a cold in the wind a few days ago, and my nose kept running, which was a bit unsightly, so I didn't let her come with me."

Concubine Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "She came here from outside the customs, and she should take good care of her." She lowered her voice when she said this, "It is said that she has the appearance of a suitable child, so she should give birth to a child earlier, er Mother is also relieved." Having said this, she paused for a while, "Look at the imperial concubine next door, she was very competitive when she was young, but she has become kind-hearted after so many years. She is fine, at least Er Niang is living a good life, and gave birth to you two safely."

The eighth elder brother has already heard the meaning, this is to persuade himself to order eight Fujin.

"Emiang, don't worry, no one bullies Sitara, and my son will treat her well."

Concubine Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good. Concubine Hui is waiting, you should hurry up."

"Hey, my son is gone, I'll come back in a few days to say hello to Er Niang."

The eighth elder brother hurried home from the palace, asked the steward at the door, and learned that Fujin had returned.Instead of going back to the backyard, he called over the nuns who were in charge of the backyard.

Thinking in his heart that Er Niang would not be aimless, it seemed that Fujin had really gone too far, and he was not at ease, so he quietly asked his eunuch to inquire about the Sitara family.

The eunuchs and maids at home kept everything secret. They all knew something, but they couldn't let the eighth master know. The eunuch went out for a while without asking anyone, and went back to talk to the eighth elder brother.

But the mother-in-law in the backyard also said that Xi Tara was ill, and the imperial doctor said that he could not see the wind, and that he was ill during the Chinese New Year, and it would be unlucky to spread the word.

The eighth elder brother, Yinhu, was more elusive than most people. He listened to it with a smile, and then saw that these people were Fujin's dowry, and he couldn't believe it in his heart.After his personal eunuch came back, although his words were tactful, he had already thought of it in his heart.

At that time, I went to the backyard to see Ce Fujin. Xi Tara was so sick that he had been lying in bed for more than half a month.When Eighth Prince first entered the yard, all the slaves in the yard were crying and complaining.He went straight into the room without hearing anything, and opened the bed curtain to see that he was skinny with Tara's disease. Back then, he was a big beauty with a protruding back and a well-proportioned figure, with delicate features and a small cherry mouth.Looking at it now, it turned out to be as sick as a ghost.

Sitara coughed a few times, and the eighth elder brother sat on the edge of the bed and took her hand, "It's hard for you, don't worry, I won't suffer from such crimes in the future."

Sitara didn't give any reaction, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Eighth Brother put her hands under the quilt and looked at the charcoal basin, but the charcoal was not good, and the room smelled of smoke.

In addition, there are patients in this room, so the smell is a bit unpleasant. After leaving the room, the outside yard also looks very dilapidated.

After all, it is Chu Fujin, who is more advanced than Fujin, and she is also from a serious talent show, and she is also a girl from a wealthy family, not to mention that her ancestors have a little relative.

Brother Eight complained about Fujin in his heart, and then asked people to divide the backyard into two. It was not easy to start construction during the first month. After the first month, the whole yard was dismantled.Use two sets of servants to build two kitchens and two sets of accounting rooms. "Since they don't get along well, don't have any contact with them in the future, and they will never have any contact with each other through a wall."

The eighth elder brother came out of the East Road courtyard of the Xitara family, and immediately allocated manpower to the Xitala family, and all the servants in the previous family belonged to Fujin.

With such a big thing happening, how could Bafujin let it go?He immediately asked people to investigate, and there were quite a few servants who followed Lao Ba in the Yonghe Palace, and there were always a few who were not strict.

After Bafujin knew about it, she couldn't help feeling resentful towards Concubine Liang, "Is there such an old godly woman as her? People look forward to their son, daughter-in-law and He Meimei, but she is vicious, promoting the concubine and suppressing the concubine."

The people around quickly tried to persuade her, and coaxed her not to make trouble with the men later, "Just say that you were coaxed by the slaves below, and apologize to our eighth master, and let him change his mind later, and then break through the middle wall. It's time to hold the side Fujin in your hand again, and it's not up to you to make it round and flat in the future."

How could Ba Fujin keep low and be a small person, she is not such a person.I want to let my servants go to the east to make trouble, but there are also many people in the east, and now they are starting to put things away.

The two sides had a quarrel, and was scolded by the respected eunuch, and then came to tell Bafujin in person: "It's Chinese New Year, the quarrel between the two sides is out of shape, and it was reported back to the palace. Enter the palace to accept the crime."

Ba Fujin thought to himself, this matter can't be hidden for a while, and his own face has been trampled to the ground, the palace will know sooner or later.

In his heart, he resentfully thought that he would not come back when he returned to the palace tomorrow, and asked the prince to tell his master that if he disagreed with his statement, he would live in the palace by then.

However, the eighth elder brother is not the eighth elder brother a few years ago, and the palace can't handle him, and the husband and wife have not seen each other on the first day of the new year.The eighth elder brother was busy with many things, and he was criticized by his younger brother again. After talking a few words with Er Niang, he found that the things Er Niang used were really shabby.

He thought to himself that since he had two mother-in-laws and two backyards, it would be better for the Sitara family to honor the Yonghe Palace and the Guo Luoluo family to honor the Zhongcui Palace.Therefore, the money and food power in the backyard was taken back and divided into two, which were given to two women.

He also asked the eunuch to quickly buy things and quietly send them to Yonghe Palace.I couldn't help but reflect in my heart that in the past few years, my eyes have been staring at the outside, but I have ignored my side.

Ninth brother and tenth brother have signs of separation from themselves, and fourteenth will grow up immediately. Isn't it better to have a good relationship with your own brothers than outsiders?And even if she resented Er Niang for abandoning herself to go to Yonghe Palace, but thinking back, although she resented her, what Er Niang did was right.It's just that until now, I don't want to accept such a result in my heart.

After all, it is a mother-in-law, no matter how much dissatisfaction and barriers there are between mother and child, they can still feel close when they sit together.It's not bad for Concubine Hui. When the elder brother was away, she and she were indeed a pair of mother and child, but when the elder brother was here, she showed her original shape.

He sat in the study for half the night, without turning on the lights.Regarding today's matter, he found that he didn't really grasp the overall situation.As far as the palace is concerned, there are still big loopholes.He didn't even take care of the affairs of his own house, so he couldn't help asking: "How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house?"

He clapped his hands, and the guards at the door hurried in to light the lamps. He said to a man kneeling in the shadows: "Let Jiangnan be all quiet, stop all plans, and if anyone doesn't listen, give him a ride. Jiangbei's release Slow down, I arrange things in the capital myself. The news will be sent out of the city tomorrow morning, and everyone will know before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When you go out, invite Mr. He to discuss things with him. "

The man went out quietly, and the eighth elder brother called his eunuch over, "Tomorrow, I will invite the ninth and tenth masters to drink, and I said that the master and Fujin had a quarrel.
