[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress
Chapter 21 (1)
Like a new mistress, Nurse Ning wandered around the fourth elder brother's yard, inspecting every corner.
She went to visit Little Elder Brother and Little Gege in the backyard, and Li Gege Song Gege was very polite when he saw her.The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, Nurse Ning is the concubine's concubine, and the Li family and the Song family dare not offend her.
Nanny Ning asked the little elder brother about Little Gege's diet and daily life, Li Gege and Song Gege answered cautiously, but didn't say anything else.
Shuwan expected well, Li Gege and Song Gege dare not speak ill of her at all.
No one knows that Nanny Ning will stay here for a few days, she will still be the Concubine De's confidant when she returns to Yonghe Palace, but Li Gege and the others will live under Fujin for a long time.
Nanny Ning checked around like an airborne leader. Shuwan had already sent people to Yonghe Palace to fetch her luggage, and sent people to tidy up a spacious and bright room for Nanny Ning.
The person has already been sent by the concubine De, and there is no way to return it. It's better to be more generous and make it look better.
When the fourth elder brother came back from the imperial study, Shuwan helped him change his clothes while telling him about Nanny Ning
"I'm too young, Er Niang didn't worry about me, so she specially sent Nanny Ning here to help."
The fourth elder brother frowned slightly, he didn't like people stuffing people into his yard, even if it was his own mother-in-law.He already has a family, and he hates the feeling of being watched and controlled the most.
"Emiang said she would give it to others, so you agreed?"
The words came out without thinking, and the fourth brother quickly realized that he said something nonsense.
The elders gave this gift to Shuwan for the good of Shuwan, and Shuwan couldn't refuse it at all, because she didn't know what was good or bad to refuse.
Shuwan sighed: "I don't want to agree either. Nurse Ning is an old man beside Er Niang. It is said that she is reliable and knows everything. I took her away, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for Er Niang to employ people. only……"
Shuwan looked up at the fourth elder brother, her eyes were wet, like a puppy being bullied.
"It's just that the little elder brother Song Gege is sick, and I beat him again. Er Niang said that I don't accumulate virtue, and the housekeeper's methods are too cruel, so she sent Ning Mama to teach me." Shuwan lowered her head and picked her hands, "I'm sorry, It's because I didn't do my job well enough to cause trouble for you and Er Niang."
The fourth elder brother gently stroked Shuwan's forehead, "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."
In the impression of the fourth prince, Shuwan has always been full of energy.
That day when she beat Song Gege, although she was afraid that he would blame her, she still maintained her arrogant appearance, like a vicious little fox.
Today, she is slumped, which is really unaccustomed to her.Take a closer look at her eyes are still red, it can be seen that she has cried.
The fourth elder brother put his arms around Shuwan's shoulders and asked softly, "Er Niang scolded you?"
Shuwan shook her head again and again, "No! No! Er Niang didn't scold me! She just taught some housekeeping rules, and she didn't scold anyone."
"Then why are you crying? Your eyes are all red."
Shuwan turned her head, "Who is crying? You read it wrong! I am not an obedient and good boy, I will cry and wipe my tears and my nose after being scolded a few times."
Fourth elder brother lowered his head and kissed Shuwan's eyes, and Shuwan obediently rubbed on fourth elder brother's shoulder.
"It's all my fault. I don't know how to housekeeper or manage people. That's all. I can't speak, and I don't know how to look at people's faces."
The fourth elder brother coaxed her softly, "You have done a good job."
The fourth elder brother felt that Concubine De was a bit picky. As the saying goes, a housekeeper has hated cats and dogs for three years, and the master is too weak to be ridden on the head by the slaves.
Shuwan's slapstick will first shock the servants, and then it will be too late to convince them with reasoning.
These days, the fourth elder brother is also observing Shuwan's housekeeping ability.
Since she took over the housework, the servants in the family have performed their duties, and everyone has a substitute on a shift. If one is sick, the next one will take over.
The division of labor has also become clear, everyone's work is similar, and the responsible person can be found for even a small matter, and there will be no situation of shirking each other's responsibilities.
The fourth elder brother advised Shuwan not to blame herself, "We have already married, and we will move out in two or three years. A family has its own way of life, my mother has her way of doing things, and we have our own rules. Er Mother is an elder, just listen to what she says, don't take it too seriously. Elders! Just respect, respect, and be filial."
Shuwan rubbed her shoulders on the fourth elder brother again, thinking that his words were really nice.
The translation of this sentence is: Don't worry about the old woman, she will leave the palace after two years of patience, and we can live as we should.
Shuwan was thankful in her heart that she was married to the fourth elder brother, he was simply the most suitable person for her.
He is rational and clear-headed, and he is willing to respect his wife, unlike the fifth elder brother, who only cares about his own happiness.
Besides, Shuwan's delicate and lovely green tea style just caught his liking, another man might not be willing to eat this set.
This is also because of Shuwan's luck, she missed it.
The fourth elder brother always had a cold face, scaring the concubines and maids to behave themselves. Everyone thought that this master liked docile and well-behaved women.Who would have known that he was actually a slut?
Shuwan got out of the fourth elder brother's arms, her face was a little red.
"Don't comfort me. I made Erniang angry today. The gentler you are, the more guilty I will be."
"Oh?" Brother Si asked with a smile, "Tell me, why did you make Er Niang angry?"
Shuwan whispered: "Actually... I don't know where I provoked Erniang. I don't know where Erniang heard it, saying that the little elder brother and Song Gege are both sick, but frightened by my majesty, I dare not Asking the doctor for medicine delayed the illness. I can’t afford such a crime, and it took me a long time to explain it clearly.”
The fourth prince's face darkened, feeling upset.Where did such false news come from?Besides, Song Gege was the imperial physician invited this morning, so the news spread too fast.
Shuwan went on to say: "Emiang said beating is not good, I'm afraid she will offend my little elder brother. I advised Erniang to relax, I beat people, and my little elder brother was taken care of by Li Gege. If we talk about cause and effect, retribution is also It should be reported to Li Gege."
The fourth elder brother was also impressed by Shuwan's logic, she beat someone, and then the retribution was on Li Gege, did she consider Li Gege's feelings?
"Your theory of causality is interesting!"
Shuwan felt that there was nothing wrong with her theory, "If you are a mother, you are strong, of course Li Gege has to protect the child!"
"You are the aunt, don't you protect him?"
Shuwan said bluntly: "I can't! I will have a baby in the future! Whoever's cub is responsible!"
The fourth elder brother shook his head and laughed, she spoke too straightforwardly, but if she pretended to be magnanimous and said a few soft words, Er Niang would not be angry.
The fourth elder brother asked: "Apart from these, what else did you say to Er Niang?"
Shuwan shook her head in distress, "There's nothing else! Er Niang usually speaks softly, but today everyone is yelling at me!"
Shuwan stared and taught the fourth elder brother how to bristle like a concubine.
"Go away! Go back and copy scriptures and pray for blessings! Get out!"
Shuwan's small expression made the fourth elder brother laugh. He wanted to be reserved and not laugh too loudly, but the more he suppressed, the more he wanted to laugh.The breathy sound came from the nasal cavity, almost laughing out like a pig cry.
Shuwan clenched her small fist and thumped him on the shoulder, "I'm hated by my mother-in-law, are you happy?"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, mother-in-law doesn't love you, but husband loves you."
The fourth elder brother pulled Shuwan to be sticky with her, when Chun'er knocked on the door.
"Master, Fujin, Nanny Ning, please see me."
The fourth elder brother rolled his eyes inadvertently, what a disappointment!
He pulled Shuwan to sit down, "Let her in!"
Nanny Ning is indeed an old-fashioned nanny who trains maids of honor. She bowed her head slightly when she entered the door and knelt down to salute. Her every move was elegant and respectful, with a special rhythm, as if there was a band playing music for her.
Looking at the four maids around Shuwan, Qiuxiang and Bingxiang can only salute without making any mistakes. Chun'er and Xia'er are better than them, but compared to Ning Momo, they are useless yellow-haired girls.
Nanny Ning knelt on the ground and straightened her back, with a smile on her lips, looking gentle and amiable.
"This servant came to serve Si elder brother and Fujin under the order of Empress Defei. Although this slave is old, his legs, feet and ears are good. No matter how Si elder brother and Fujin order him, this slave will do his best to live up to the master's grace."
The fourth elder brother still had the signature indifferent expression on his face, neither grateful nor welcoming.
"Auntie is Erniang's confidant, and we have wronged you for coming here. There are a lot of court ladies and eunuchs in this yard, and there is no shortage of manpower. Nanny just talks and amuses with Fujin, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
Nanny Ning raised her head in surprise, she didn't expect that the fourth elder brother would not want her to take care of things.
Nanny Ning glanced at Shuwan again, it seemed that Fujin had blown the pillow wind for the fourth elder brother in advance.
Shuwan hurriedly said: "Auntie, the fourth elder brother has good intentions. You have worked hard to serve my mother all these years, and now at this age, you should enjoy the blessings. Auntie knows a lot. You have eaten more salt than I have eaten. , with you reminding me, I feel at ease. When we leave the palace and open the mansion, my aunt will also leave the palace with us. I will build a yard for my aunt, and my aunt will live there to enjoy her life."
Nanny Ning didn't even dare to say that the concubine Defei couldn't go out of the palace to be served by her son and daughter-in-law, so what could she do, how could she have a small yard to support her?
"Xie Fujin's kindness, a slave is lowly, it's a slave's blessing to be able to serve fourth elder brother and Fujin all the time, I don't dare to ask for too much."
Nanny Ning accepted the fourth elder brother's suggestion of distribution, she will serve Shuwan personally in the future, and don't care about other things.
Although Nanny Ning was a little disappointed in not being able to take over the power of the housekeeper, the order of the Concubine De Fei was to train Fujin, and this result was acceptable.
Shuwan smiled and said: "My aunt just came, I prepared a reception banquet for aunt, and I will let Xia'er and the others accompany aunt to drink two cups later. It's too hasty, the reception banquet is a bit simple, aunt, please don't hold it back."
Nurse Ning saluted and thanked her, "Fu Jin is too polite, the slave is here to serve people, how can you be ashamed?"
Qiuxiang held Nanny Ning's arm, "Manny is too polite! You have served your mother for so many years, and you have worked hard without credit! It is right to prepare a welcome banquet for you!"
Bingxiang smiled and supported Nanny Ning's other arm, "We, Fujin, paid for the welcome banquet out of our own pockets, Mammy must appreciate it, and we would like to take advantage of you to have a drink to satisfy our hunger!"
The four court ladies surrounded Nanny Ning and went out like a robber.
The fourth elder brother said: "You are so generous, you even prepared a welcome banquet for her! Now that everyone is gone, who will serve me?"
Shuwan: "Me! Am I not human? I'll serve you!"
The fourth elder brother thought to himself: Just based on your serving method of choking someone's neck, are you serving me, or am I serving you?
Shuwan felt that the room was a bit dark, so she took out a lamp from the inside and put it on the table.
Her skin was radiant and white, and the candlelight shone on her cheeks like a pearl shining.
The fourth elder brother felt hot, no wonder everyone said that looking at the beauty under the lamp is really beautiful.
He leaned close to Shuwan, pressed against her face, and bit her ear.
"It doesn't matter if the maid is not here, let's go to bed and I'll serve Fujin, how about it?"
Shuwan covered her ears and glared at him, "Bah! Disciple! Thick-skinned! I don't want you to serve me, I still want to copy scriptures!"
Shuwan took out a large stack of paper, "Cut the paper and grind the ink for me when you have nothing to do. Recently, I want to be ascetic, so that copying the scriptures will be pious!"
The fourth elder brother sighed for a long time, my mother hurt me!
In the early morning of the next day, Shuwan felt that elder brother Si got up, she raised her arms to cover her eyes and did not move.
At this moment she felt someone staring at her, Shuwan lowered her arms, opened her eyes and saw Nurse Ning standing on the head of her bed.
The corner of Shuwan's mouth moved slightly, and she cursed MMP in a low voice.
Is this person sick?He actually stood at the head of someone's bed and stared at her sleeping.
"Mother Ning, what are you doing? You scare me like this."
Nurse Ning said without sincerity that the slave is guilty.
"Fu Jin, elder brother is already up, you should get up too, you still have to help elder brother get dressed!"
The fourth elder brother glanced here, "Fu Jin copied the scriptures last night until the third watch. I let her sleep a little longer. I don't need Fujin to wait and dress. What are so many slaves doing? How can there be a master to work?" The reason for the servant to rest?"
Nanny Ning laughed and said, "Si elder brother misunderstood the meaning of the slave. Serving your husband is the way to be a wife. As a wife, you should get up to prepare hot water and breakfast before your husband wakes up. Of course, there is no need for Fujin in the palace." I personally boil water and cook rice, but Fujin should do things like dressing and combing hair, and Fujin must be more careful than slaves."
The fourth elder brother threw the face towel into the basin, "Nurse is very interesting, she has never been married and knows how to be a wife."
Nanny Ning was dumb, she remembered that Fujin had said something similar yesterday.She thought to herself, Si elder brother and the two of them are indeed husband and wife, they speak in the same tune.
Shuwan lifted the quilt and stood up in a panic, "Auntie is right, it is a wife's duty to serve her husband, I'll come right away!"
She pulled on her shoes and ran over to braid the fourth elder brother's hair.
The three-strand braid is very good, and Shuwan combed the fourth brother's hair smoothly.She moved very lightly and did not hurt Si elder brother.
The fourth elder brother nodded in satisfaction, not to mention, the feeling of being served by a daughter-in-law is indeed different.
Shuwan divided her hair into three parts, and after several times, it was not even enough.
The fourth elder brother waited impatiently, "Have you combed yet?"
Shuwan braided her hair clumsily, "Master, don't worry, I'll do it right away!"
She moved faster and accidentally scratched her hair, which hurt Si elder brother's scalp.
"Hiss!" The fourth elder brother gasped in pain, "Can you make it up?"
Shuwan was so anxious that she was about to cry, "I... I will practice more in the future."
She finally finished braiding the braids, and the fourth elder brother stood up and was about to leave, but Shuwan pulled him back again.
"Master, let Xia'er comb it again!"
The fourth elder brother frowned, grabbed the braid and pulled it in front of his eyes.
His thin braids were loose at the top and tight at the bottom, uneven in thickness and extremely ugly.
The fourth elder brother gave Shuwan a white look, and Shuwan lowered her head tremblingly.
Xia'er quickly untied the braids and combed the fourth brother's hair again.
The fourth elder brother exuded air-conditioning all over his body, scaring him to death, Shuwan sent him out tremblingly, not daring to lift his head.
Before leaving, the fourth elder brother sneered at Shuwan, "I almost thought that Nanny Ning was my mother-in-law, her words are more effective than mine!"
Nanny Ning knelt down in panic, "Fourth elder brother, forgive me."
Her proposal was perfectly fine, who would have thought that Fujin was so stupid!
Shuwan saluted timidly and apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't dare anymore..."
The fourth elder brother snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left the house.
Shuwan went back to the inner room, without changing clothes or dressing up, lying on the bed crying and wiping away her tears.
"Since I married Elder Brother, I have never blushed with Elder Brother. Today, because of some trivial matter, I provoked Elder Brother to be furious. What face do I have to see Elder Brother!"
Nanny Ning was extremely embarrassed, "It's all the servant's fault. The servant did not expect that Fujin would not serve others. Don't be sad, Fujin. The servant teaches you carefully, and you can always win back elder brother's heart."
Chun'er bit her lower lip, Xia'er told her last night that if she wanted to win Fujin's favor, she had to be loyal, and she had to use her housekeeping skills to impress Fujin.
Right now, the opportunity is here!
"It is said that Mammy is well-informed, why is she confused now? Why was the fourth elder brother angry just now? Because Fujin only listened to you, not fourth elder brother! Now you let Fujin learn to serve others from you, are you afraid Brother Si is not angry enough! Isn’t this adding fuel to the fire!”
Nanny Ning frowned, she had a lot of face around Concubine De, no matter who saw her, they had to give her some face.How dare a yellow-haired girl talk to her like that!
It's really strange, this girl looked very cute when she was hanging out with me yesterday, but she seems to be a different person today.
Chun'er is also trembling in her heart, this is the nanny next to Concubine De, the master will give up three points!
But there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and there is no shortage of slaves around the master, so it is too difficult to get ahead.Wealth and wealth are in danger, she will act as a loyal protector today!
"Why are you staring at me? I didn't make Fujin cry! You old man, let's see what time it is now! I'm about to greet you, and Fujin is still wearing his underwear!"
Chun'er poked her neck and muttered in a low voice, "It's lucky that I'm still the one who waits on the empress! I don't have any plans in my heart!"
Nanny Ning was furious: "You!"
Shuwan took Nanny Ning's hand, "Mommy, she is still young and ignorant, don't be as knowledgeable as her."
She turned her head and scolded Chun'er, "There are no rules, how can you talk to the nanny like this? You will be fined two months' worth of moon money, let's see if you dare!"
Chun'er shut her mouth in embarrassment, and Nanny Ning felt much more comfortable.
Shuwan wiped away her tears, dressed up and went to Yonghe Palace to pay her respects.
Today, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well, so I will spare everyone's greetings.Concubine De didn't want to see her daughter-in-law, so she didn't even show her face, and asked the maid to send her back.
Back home, Shuwan simply ate something and started to do housework.
Nanny Ning stood behind Shuwan and watched her handle things. After watching her for a long time, she only had one thought—slow!
Nanny Ning has read the one-page account book three times, and Shuwan is still reading it.
For a very small matter, Shuwan also wanted to get to the bottom of it, asking for a long time.
Nanny Ning watched her handle things, feeling as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.
Why so slow?It can kill people in a hurry!But Director Shuwan was not wrong, and she couldn't say it.
The morning time was wasted like this, and the fourth elder brother came back for lunch break at noon, but still ignored Shuwan.
Shuwan served her tenderly and tenderly, ladling up vegetables and soup, but the fourth elder brother was ungrateful and never had a good look at her.
When it was time for a nap, Nanny Ning and the others withdrew.
The fourth elder brother seemed to be having an affair, seeing no one here, hugged Shuwan, and kissed her on the face.
"My daughter-in-law has been wronged, is Nanny Ning still honest?"
Shuwan wrinkled her nose ghostly, "Who am I! Can I be bullied by Nanny Ning? After you left, I pretended to cry, and Chun'er beat Nanny Ning up. I just found out today, Chun'er has such a sharp mouth."
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Chun'er is loyal to protect the Lord, I have a big reward!"
"I've already rewarded it!"
Fourth elder brother: "You reward yours, I reward mine."
Shuwan pouted, "No! My money is mine, and your money is mine too!"
The fourth elder brother pinched Shuwan's nose, "Naughty! Domineering!"
He pushed Shuwan down and stole another incense, "Don't talk about them, sleep with me!"
Shuwan struggled, "No! I want to be pure-hearted and ascetic!"
The lunch break is too short, and the fourth elder brother doesn't want to be ascetic, but time doesn't allow it, so he can only kiss a few more times to enjoy himself.
Chun'er and Xia'er lived in the same room, and Xia'er took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into Chun'er's hand.
Chun'er was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Xia'er smiled and said: "Congratulations, Miss Chun'er! Fujin said, the few words you said this morning were particularly beautiful, this is a reward for you. Fujin also said, if you can talk, talk more, don't hold back on."
Chun'er held the silver ingot and her eyes shone brightly. This is not an ordinary reward, this is the wealth she has fought for!
Chun'er dug out a delicate purse and packed the silver ingots carefully.
"Let Fujin please! I have something even better!"
Chun'er walked up and down the room excitedly, pondering all kinds of cursing and witty words in her mind, just waiting to show her skills in the afternoon.
It's almost nap time, Chun'er and Xia'er go to wake up Si Age and Shuwan.
Seeing Chun'er, the fourth elder brother said in a rare and gentle way: "Chun'er protected Fujin in the morning, he did a good job, and there is a reward."
Chun'er was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. She had been serving the fourth elder brother for so long, and it was the first time she had the fourth elder brother's smiling face.
"Master, a slave has no other abilities, so he can still swear. I've thought about a lot of swear words, and I'm sure I'll scold Nanny Ning so badly!"
Shuwan shook her head slightly, this Chun'er!She is indeed eloquent, able to praise and swear, but she is not as smart as Xia'er.
In the morning, Nanny Ning offended the fourth elder brother, and Chun'er's cursing just hit the fourth elder brother's itch.
Now that Nanny Ning has done nothing wrong, why scold her for no reason?
Nanny Ning is not easy to get along with. She knows that she has offended the fourth elder brother, so she will definitely find a way to change the bad impression that the fourth elder brother has on her.
Sister Ning is the concubine's concubine after all, and the fourth elder brother does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face, so basic respect is still required.
Xia'er is thoughtful and can plan for Shuwan.Although Chun'er is not as smart as Xia'er, she can persuade the little palace ladies and eunuchs in the yard with her sharp tongue.
Shuwan pointed at Chun'er and said with a smile: "You girl is addicted to quarreling, don't you understand the principle of respecting the old and loving the young? Nurse Ning is such an old person, don't bully her. Go and get the scriptures, paper and pen Bring it, I don’t have to deal with housework in the afternoon, I’m going to continue copying the scriptures.”
Chun'er was a little disappointed, she had been preparing for lunch for so long!I didn't expect it to be useless...
The fourth elder brother laughed at Shuwan, "Copying the scriptures? Have you changed your ways? Do you have the concentration?"
Shuwan glared at her, "Who do you look down on? You read my name!"
The fourth elder brother read it again for no reason, "Shu Wan?"
"Yes, Shuwan, it means that I am virtuous and gentle. For a lady like me, what is copying scriptures? Go to school quickly! When you come back, I will teach you what is three days away When you look at it with admiration!"
The fourth elder brother was about to die laughing, "Okay, I'll just wait for Fujin to teach me!"
Not long after Si elder brother left, Nanny Ning came over.
She thought that Fujin would be fine in the afternoon, so she should go and see Little Elder Brother and Little Gege.
As a regular wife, regardless of whether the child is a child born to a concubine or a child born to a concubine, as long as it is the blood of the fourth elder brother, Fujin should treat her equally.
Mother Ning went to see Li Gege and Song Gege yesterday, Li Gege is not very good at raising children, the room is stuffy and stuffy, the little elder brother may not be comfortable staying there.
Song Gege himself is sick, how to take care of little Gege?
According to Nanny Ning's wishes, Fujin should take the two children into his main room to take care of them.
However, she is new here and hasn't figured out the situation yet, so it's inappropriate to make such big moves.And the fourth elder brother didn't look at the face of Empress Defei and gave her preferential treatment.
She has to gain the trust of the fourth elder brother first, let the elder brother see her value, and let the elder brother be her backer, so that she can discipline Fujin.
Nurse Ning came to the main room and was about to salute and say hello when she was stopped by Xia'er.
She dragged Ning Momo outside to talk, "Mommy, don't make a sound, Fujin washes his hands and burns incense, and prepares to copy the scriptures. No one should disturb you while copying the scriptures, or you will appear impious."
Nanny Ning lifted the curtain and looked inside quietly.
Shuwan washed her hands, dried them with a cloth towel, lit a stick of incense, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures with both hands.
Nanny Ning nodded in satisfaction. Although Fujin did not do well, he was obedient.
After she finished copying the scriptures, let's talk about looking after the child!
Nanny Ning said to Xia'er: "Fu Jin needs to be clean for copying scriptures, you all go out, I will guard Fujin here."
Xia'er smiled and said: "Then it's hard work, mother. With you guarding Fujin, why do we have to worry about it? Now it's time to get the monthly payment, and Chun'er and I go to get the money. There are some needlework in Fujin. Do it, leave it to Bingxiang and Qiuxiang."
Nanny Ning smiled and said: "You have arranged it well, you guys go to work!"
Xia'er and the others left, and Nanny Ning made a pot of tea for Shuwan, and put it by Shuwan's hand.
Shuwan doesn't believe in religion, but she fears gods and Buddhas, and she is very devout when copying scriptures.
The Diamond Sutra has about 5000 characters, and Shuwan recited it before transcribing it.
The handwriting must be in block letters. She wrote stroke by stroke and concentrated on writing.If she wrote a wrong word or copied a line, she would throw away the page and copy it again.
With such concentration, Nanny Ning kept shaking her head while watching.
For nothing else, it's still too slow!
Almost all the concubines in the palace believed in Buddhism, and they all copied scriptures for the emperor or their children.
Sister Ning has seen the Concubine De concubine copy the scriptures, and she is also devoutly cleansing her hands and burning incense. The Concubine De concubine copied the scriptures quickly and well.
The tip of the pen moved across the paper, flowing out one square font after another.The brushing sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper makes people feel at peace.
Nanny Ning loves to read Concubine De's copied scriptures the most, she can stand there and read all day.
Now, seeing Shuwan copying scriptures, Nanny Ning feels that her hobby is gone.
It's no wonder that Nanny Ning is hypocritical, watching others copy scriptures to relieve stress, watching Shuwan copy scriptures to raise blood pressure.
Shuwan is a lady of every family, and her mother is a noble daughter of the clan. She has received an excellent education since she was a child, and her block letters are very beautiful.
Others shake their wrists and write a word in two or three strokes. Shuwan holds the pen and traces stroke by stroke, not like writing, but like tracing flowers.
The printed block letters are really beautiful, so what's the use?Can kill people!
The Diamond Sutra has a lot of words and cannot be copied all at once. Every time you stop, you have to make dedications and read the prayers.
As Shuwan wrote, the hair on the writing brush fell out. She pulled out the hair and got ink on her hands. She had to stop, wash her hands and read the Diamond Sutra again, and then continued to copy.
After a while, she wanted to go to the toilet, so she stopped again, and the process of washing hands, burning incense and chanting sutras was done again.
Nanny Ning couldn't stand it anymore, "Fu Jin, although copying scriptures must be devout, it shouldn't be so cumbersome."
Shuwan seriously criticized her, "Mommy, the more pious the scripture copying, the better. The Buddha will not blame you if you have more etiquette."
She picked up the pen, thought for a while, put it down again, turned around, and scooped up water to wash her hands again.
Nanny Ning was dying of anxiety, "Fu Jin, why did you wash your hands again?"
"When copying the scriptures, you must be calm and get rid of distracting thoughts. I chant the scriptures every time before copying the scriptures, just to let my mentality enter the state of no falsehood and no self."
Shuwan warned Nanny Ning not to talk to her again, "Don't disturb my practice!"
Shuwan's face was full of desires and desires, as if the Buddha's light was shining all over her face, and she was about to be taken to the Western Paradise.
In fact, she laughed secretly in her heart, holding back her laughter until her stomach ached.
When Shuwan was doing housework in the morning, she noticed that every time she dawdled, Nanny Ning's face looked like she was constipated.
Shuwan recalled how she watched her nephew read and practice calligraphy at home when she was not married.
Her nephew was mischievous and connected everything, and became sleepy when it was time to study.
Shuwan watched him do his homework, but only wrote five big characters, and he could linger from half an hour to midnight.
Picking fingers, paper, pens, inkstones, nostrils, everything around him can be picked, but he refuses to do homework.
At that time, Shuwan was so angry that she broke two feather dusters.
Now Shuwan has become someone she once hated. Her dawdling skill is less than one-tenth of that of her nephew, but it is enough to torture Nanny Ning.
Nanny Ning used to be in charge of teaching the new maids, probably because of her work. She has a bit of a teacher's temperament, likes to preach, and is a bit tough. She always hopes that the students will follow her pace.
Teaching court ladies is not just to teach them to obey the rules, but also to teach them to work smartly and quickly.
For example, anyone can do simple sweeping tasks such as mopping the floor, but how to wipe the floor quickly and quietly is also a science.
Nanny Ning really wanted to discipline Fujin severely, but unfortunately she was not Shuwan's mother-in-law, let alone Shuwan's own mother.
Shuwan washed her hands and sat down at the table again.
She thought to herself: It feels good to be a foreign worker!She had to copy slowly. Sooner or later, she would drive Ning Momo away.In the future, Concubine De will ask her to copy the scriptures again, so she can save a few copies to cope with it.There is no way, she said it when she served tea on the second day of marriage, she is slow in doing things.If Concubine De doesn't believe it, she can ask Nanny Ning!Nanny Ning has experienced it herself!
What is the highest state of fishing?It is now to plan the future fish!
Shuwan's slow way of copying scriptures tortured Nanny Ning enough.
Nanny Ning looked towards the door from time to time, wondering why Xia'er and the others haven't come back yet?
These four girls are too sincere. She said that they are here to serve, but don't they know to come over and play a substitute?
After finally staying up until the evening, Nanny Ning reckoned that the fourth elder brother would be back soon, and she could finally be relieved.
The servants eat the big pot of rice from the imperial dining room, but the master's meals are not sloppy.
The fourth elder brother will be back soon, but Fujin is still drawing patterns, how should we arrange dinner?
Nanny Ning is not very clear about Si elder brother's taste, so she dare not make her own decisions.
She looked outside, Xia'er and the others hadn't come back yet.She looked at Shuwan again, and the resentment of being tortured all afternoon welled up from the bottom of her heart.
She was standing in front of Shuwan, who was seriously copying the scriptures and really didn't notice her.
Nurse Ning didn't know what she was thinking, she raised her hand and pushed Shuwan.
"Ah!" Shuwan was startled, the brush in her right hand drew a long mark on the paper, and her left hand reflexively slapped Nanny Ning.
Nanny Ning was also frightened, she just patted Shuwan on the shoulder lightly, was she so frightened?
She covered the back of her hands and rubbed them. Fujin was quite strong, and her hands turned red.
"Forgive me, Fujin, this servant didn't intend to scare you. Look at the time, you see that the fourth elder brother is coming back, you should prepare meals for the fourth elder brother."
Shuwan put down the pen, she looked down and saw the long ink smear on the paper, her heart was full of anger, she wished she could eat Ning Momo.
Is it easy for her to fish and grind foreign jobs?Based on the way she draws patterns, it takes at least an hour to describe this scripture.
She managed to let go of her thoughts and carefully copy some scriptures, but Ning Mama's slap wiped away the fruits of her labor.
Xia Er and the others heard the screams and hurried in to check.
Shuwan sighed, "Mother Ning, I respect that you are from the Yonghe Palace, and I will save face for you in every way. I will send someone to help you pick up your luggage and tidy up a good room for you. You have also been to Song Gege's house , your room is better than Song Gege's!"
Nanny Ning hurriedly said: "Thank you Fujin for taking care of me, I know I was wrong, please forgive Fujin."
"Know it? I think you committed it knowingly! I have already told you, don't talk to me, don't disturb my practice. It's better for you, come over quietly, slap me on the shoulder, and take away all my scriptures. Ruined. What are you doing? Scaring me to play?"
Chun'er can be considered to have found a chance to show her power, she stood up and said: "Mother Ning, thank you for being an old man in the Yonghe Palace! How could you make such a mistake? A young maid who just entered the palace is not like this. You are so terrible!" She's a bit of a concubine."
Nanny Ning gritted her teeth angrily, it's this little girl again!She is too young to be her own daughter!How dare she talk to me like that!
Xia'er stood up and said, "Nurse Ning, don't talk about Chun'er! She has always been straightforward and careless. For her young age, don't be as knowledgeable as her."
Nanny Ning didn't want to bear it, she was sent by Empress Defei, why should she be angry with a little girl?
"Oh, Chun'er is 17 years old, isn't she? She is not young at this age! As a court lady, the most important thing is to be cautious. Compared with me, she is indeed young. There are some truths that she still doesn't understand, wait for her She will understand when she is old, but I don’t know if she can live to the day when she is sensible.”
Shuwan knocked on the table in displeasure, "Mother Ning, are you still ashamed to talk about others? You are not sensible at such an old age! I am telling you about your problem, why are you accusing Luo Chun'er? You still threaten She was short-lived! What? You are an assassin, you want Jing Ke to assassinate Chun'er?"
Nanny Ning suppressed her anger and saluted Shuwan.
"The slave knows it's wrong."
Shuwan: "Oh, it's a good thing you have a mouth, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see your regret! Chun'er is right, you are so old, you are not as good as a little palace maid. In the morning you Make elder brother angry, and want to teach elder brother how to do things. Now it is even more powerful, and dare to fight with me!"
Nanny Ning did not dare to plead guilty, she could not bear the charge.
"Fu Jin! You lent my servant the courage, but I dare not fight with you! This servant just wants you to take a rest, don't be too tired!"
Nanny Ning knelt down in a panic, and Shuwan stood up, feeling that it was more imposing to be so aggressive.
Maybe because she got up in a hurry, Shuwan's eyes darkened, and she sat back on the chair.
Qiuxiang Bingxiang rushed over to support her, Xia'er rolled her eyes and burst into tears.
"Mother Ning, you are too much! You
She went to visit Little Elder Brother and Little Gege in the backyard, and Li Gege Song Gege was very polite when he saw her.The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, Nurse Ning is the concubine's concubine, and the Li family and the Song family dare not offend her.
Nanny Ning asked the little elder brother about Little Gege's diet and daily life, Li Gege and Song Gege answered cautiously, but didn't say anything else.
Shuwan expected well, Li Gege and Song Gege dare not speak ill of her at all.
No one knows that Nanny Ning will stay here for a few days, she will still be the Concubine De's confidant when she returns to Yonghe Palace, but Li Gege and the others will live under Fujin for a long time.
Nanny Ning checked around like an airborne leader. Shuwan had already sent people to Yonghe Palace to fetch her luggage, and sent people to tidy up a spacious and bright room for Nanny Ning.
The person has already been sent by the concubine De, and there is no way to return it. It's better to be more generous and make it look better.
When the fourth elder brother came back from the imperial study, Shuwan helped him change his clothes while telling him about Nanny Ning
"I'm too young, Er Niang didn't worry about me, so she specially sent Nanny Ning here to help."
The fourth elder brother frowned slightly, he didn't like people stuffing people into his yard, even if it was his own mother-in-law.He already has a family, and he hates the feeling of being watched and controlled the most.
"Emiang said she would give it to others, so you agreed?"
The words came out without thinking, and the fourth brother quickly realized that he said something nonsense.
The elders gave this gift to Shuwan for the good of Shuwan, and Shuwan couldn't refuse it at all, because she didn't know what was good or bad to refuse.
Shuwan sighed: "I don't want to agree either. Nurse Ning is an old man beside Er Niang. It is said that she is reliable and knows everything. I took her away, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for Er Niang to employ people. only……"
Shuwan looked up at the fourth elder brother, her eyes were wet, like a puppy being bullied.
"It's just that the little elder brother Song Gege is sick, and I beat him again. Er Niang said that I don't accumulate virtue, and the housekeeper's methods are too cruel, so she sent Ning Mama to teach me." Shuwan lowered her head and picked her hands, "I'm sorry, It's because I didn't do my job well enough to cause trouble for you and Er Niang."
The fourth elder brother gently stroked Shuwan's forehead, "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."
In the impression of the fourth prince, Shuwan has always been full of energy.
That day when she beat Song Gege, although she was afraid that he would blame her, she still maintained her arrogant appearance, like a vicious little fox.
Today, she is slumped, which is really unaccustomed to her.Take a closer look at her eyes are still red, it can be seen that she has cried.
The fourth elder brother put his arms around Shuwan's shoulders and asked softly, "Er Niang scolded you?"
Shuwan shook her head again and again, "No! No! Er Niang didn't scold me! She just taught some housekeeping rules, and she didn't scold anyone."
"Then why are you crying? Your eyes are all red."
Shuwan turned her head, "Who is crying? You read it wrong! I am not an obedient and good boy, I will cry and wipe my tears and my nose after being scolded a few times."
Fourth elder brother lowered his head and kissed Shuwan's eyes, and Shuwan obediently rubbed on fourth elder brother's shoulder.
"It's all my fault. I don't know how to housekeeper or manage people. That's all. I can't speak, and I don't know how to look at people's faces."
The fourth elder brother coaxed her softly, "You have done a good job."
The fourth elder brother felt that Concubine De was a bit picky. As the saying goes, a housekeeper has hated cats and dogs for three years, and the master is too weak to be ridden on the head by the slaves.
Shuwan's slapstick will first shock the servants, and then it will be too late to convince them with reasoning.
These days, the fourth elder brother is also observing Shuwan's housekeeping ability.
Since she took over the housework, the servants in the family have performed their duties, and everyone has a substitute on a shift. If one is sick, the next one will take over.
The division of labor has also become clear, everyone's work is similar, and the responsible person can be found for even a small matter, and there will be no situation of shirking each other's responsibilities.
The fourth elder brother advised Shuwan not to blame herself, "We have already married, and we will move out in two or three years. A family has its own way of life, my mother has her way of doing things, and we have our own rules. Er Mother is an elder, just listen to what she says, don't take it too seriously. Elders! Just respect, respect, and be filial."
Shuwan rubbed her shoulders on the fourth elder brother again, thinking that his words were really nice.
The translation of this sentence is: Don't worry about the old woman, she will leave the palace after two years of patience, and we can live as we should.
Shuwan was thankful in her heart that she was married to the fourth elder brother, he was simply the most suitable person for her.
He is rational and clear-headed, and he is willing to respect his wife, unlike the fifth elder brother, who only cares about his own happiness.
Besides, Shuwan's delicate and lovely green tea style just caught his liking, another man might not be willing to eat this set.
This is also because of Shuwan's luck, she missed it.
The fourth elder brother always had a cold face, scaring the concubines and maids to behave themselves. Everyone thought that this master liked docile and well-behaved women.Who would have known that he was actually a slut?
Shuwan got out of the fourth elder brother's arms, her face was a little red.
"Don't comfort me. I made Erniang angry today. The gentler you are, the more guilty I will be."
"Oh?" Brother Si asked with a smile, "Tell me, why did you make Er Niang angry?"
Shuwan whispered: "Actually... I don't know where I provoked Erniang. I don't know where Erniang heard it, saying that the little elder brother and Song Gege are both sick, but frightened by my majesty, I dare not Asking the doctor for medicine delayed the illness. I can’t afford such a crime, and it took me a long time to explain it clearly.”
The fourth prince's face darkened, feeling upset.Where did such false news come from?Besides, Song Gege was the imperial physician invited this morning, so the news spread too fast.
Shuwan went on to say: "Emiang said beating is not good, I'm afraid she will offend my little elder brother. I advised Erniang to relax, I beat people, and my little elder brother was taken care of by Li Gege. If we talk about cause and effect, retribution is also It should be reported to Li Gege."
The fourth elder brother was also impressed by Shuwan's logic, she beat someone, and then the retribution was on Li Gege, did she consider Li Gege's feelings?
"Your theory of causality is interesting!"
Shuwan felt that there was nothing wrong with her theory, "If you are a mother, you are strong, of course Li Gege has to protect the child!"
"You are the aunt, don't you protect him?"
Shuwan said bluntly: "I can't! I will have a baby in the future! Whoever's cub is responsible!"
The fourth elder brother shook his head and laughed, she spoke too straightforwardly, but if she pretended to be magnanimous and said a few soft words, Er Niang would not be angry.
The fourth elder brother asked: "Apart from these, what else did you say to Er Niang?"
Shuwan shook her head in distress, "There's nothing else! Er Niang usually speaks softly, but today everyone is yelling at me!"
Shuwan stared and taught the fourth elder brother how to bristle like a concubine.
"Go away! Go back and copy scriptures and pray for blessings! Get out!"
Shuwan's small expression made the fourth elder brother laugh. He wanted to be reserved and not laugh too loudly, but the more he suppressed, the more he wanted to laugh.The breathy sound came from the nasal cavity, almost laughing out like a pig cry.
Shuwan clenched her small fist and thumped him on the shoulder, "I'm hated by my mother-in-law, are you happy?"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, mother-in-law doesn't love you, but husband loves you."
The fourth elder brother pulled Shuwan to be sticky with her, when Chun'er knocked on the door.
"Master, Fujin, Nanny Ning, please see me."
The fourth elder brother rolled his eyes inadvertently, what a disappointment!
He pulled Shuwan to sit down, "Let her in!"
Nanny Ning is indeed an old-fashioned nanny who trains maids of honor. She bowed her head slightly when she entered the door and knelt down to salute. Her every move was elegant and respectful, with a special rhythm, as if there was a band playing music for her.
Looking at the four maids around Shuwan, Qiuxiang and Bingxiang can only salute without making any mistakes. Chun'er and Xia'er are better than them, but compared to Ning Momo, they are useless yellow-haired girls.
Nanny Ning knelt on the ground and straightened her back, with a smile on her lips, looking gentle and amiable.
"This servant came to serve Si elder brother and Fujin under the order of Empress Defei. Although this slave is old, his legs, feet and ears are good. No matter how Si elder brother and Fujin order him, this slave will do his best to live up to the master's grace."
The fourth elder brother still had the signature indifferent expression on his face, neither grateful nor welcoming.
"Auntie is Erniang's confidant, and we have wronged you for coming here. There are a lot of court ladies and eunuchs in this yard, and there is no shortage of manpower. Nanny just talks and amuses with Fujin, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
Nanny Ning raised her head in surprise, she didn't expect that the fourth elder brother would not want her to take care of things.
Nanny Ning glanced at Shuwan again, it seemed that Fujin had blown the pillow wind for the fourth elder brother in advance.
Shuwan hurriedly said: "Auntie, the fourth elder brother has good intentions. You have worked hard to serve my mother all these years, and now at this age, you should enjoy the blessings. Auntie knows a lot. You have eaten more salt than I have eaten. , with you reminding me, I feel at ease. When we leave the palace and open the mansion, my aunt will also leave the palace with us. I will build a yard for my aunt, and my aunt will live there to enjoy her life."
Nanny Ning didn't even dare to say that the concubine Defei couldn't go out of the palace to be served by her son and daughter-in-law, so what could she do, how could she have a small yard to support her?
"Xie Fujin's kindness, a slave is lowly, it's a slave's blessing to be able to serve fourth elder brother and Fujin all the time, I don't dare to ask for too much."
Nanny Ning accepted the fourth elder brother's suggestion of distribution, she will serve Shuwan personally in the future, and don't care about other things.
Although Nanny Ning was a little disappointed in not being able to take over the power of the housekeeper, the order of the Concubine De Fei was to train Fujin, and this result was acceptable.
Shuwan smiled and said: "My aunt just came, I prepared a reception banquet for aunt, and I will let Xia'er and the others accompany aunt to drink two cups later. It's too hasty, the reception banquet is a bit simple, aunt, please don't hold it back."
Nurse Ning saluted and thanked her, "Fu Jin is too polite, the slave is here to serve people, how can you be ashamed?"
Qiuxiang held Nanny Ning's arm, "Manny is too polite! You have served your mother for so many years, and you have worked hard without credit! It is right to prepare a welcome banquet for you!"
Bingxiang smiled and supported Nanny Ning's other arm, "We, Fujin, paid for the welcome banquet out of our own pockets, Mammy must appreciate it, and we would like to take advantage of you to have a drink to satisfy our hunger!"
The four court ladies surrounded Nanny Ning and went out like a robber.
The fourth elder brother said: "You are so generous, you even prepared a welcome banquet for her! Now that everyone is gone, who will serve me?"
Shuwan: "Me! Am I not human? I'll serve you!"
The fourth elder brother thought to himself: Just based on your serving method of choking someone's neck, are you serving me, or am I serving you?
Shuwan felt that the room was a bit dark, so she took out a lamp from the inside and put it on the table.
Her skin was radiant and white, and the candlelight shone on her cheeks like a pearl shining.
The fourth elder brother felt hot, no wonder everyone said that looking at the beauty under the lamp is really beautiful.
He leaned close to Shuwan, pressed against her face, and bit her ear.
"It doesn't matter if the maid is not here, let's go to bed and I'll serve Fujin, how about it?"
Shuwan covered her ears and glared at him, "Bah! Disciple! Thick-skinned! I don't want you to serve me, I still want to copy scriptures!"
Shuwan took out a large stack of paper, "Cut the paper and grind the ink for me when you have nothing to do. Recently, I want to be ascetic, so that copying the scriptures will be pious!"
The fourth elder brother sighed for a long time, my mother hurt me!
In the early morning of the next day, Shuwan felt that elder brother Si got up, she raised her arms to cover her eyes and did not move.
At this moment she felt someone staring at her, Shuwan lowered her arms, opened her eyes and saw Nurse Ning standing on the head of her bed.
The corner of Shuwan's mouth moved slightly, and she cursed MMP in a low voice.
Is this person sick?He actually stood at the head of someone's bed and stared at her sleeping.
"Mother Ning, what are you doing? You scare me like this."
Nurse Ning said without sincerity that the slave is guilty.
"Fu Jin, elder brother is already up, you should get up too, you still have to help elder brother get dressed!"
The fourth elder brother glanced here, "Fu Jin copied the scriptures last night until the third watch. I let her sleep a little longer. I don't need Fujin to wait and dress. What are so many slaves doing? How can there be a master to work?" The reason for the servant to rest?"
Nanny Ning laughed and said, "Si elder brother misunderstood the meaning of the slave. Serving your husband is the way to be a wife. As a wife, you should get up to prepare hot water and breakfast before your husband wakes up. Of course, there is no need for Fujin in the palace." I personally boil water and cook rice, but Fujin should do things like dressing and combing hair, and Fujin must be more careful than slaves."
The fourth elder brother threw the face towel into the basin, "Nurse is very interesting, she has never been married and knows how to be a wife."
Nanny Ning was dumb, she remembered that Fujin had said something similar yesterday.She thought to herself, Si elder brother and the two of them are indeed husband and wife, they speak in the same tune.
Shuwan lifted the quilt and stood up in a panic, "Auntie is right, it is a wife's duty to serve her husband, I'll come right away!"
She pulled on her shoes and ran over to braid the fourth elder brother's hair.
The three-strand braid is very good, and Shuwan combed the fourth brother's hair smoothly.She moved very lightly and did not hurt Si elder brother.
The fourth elder brother nodded in satisfaction, not to mention, the feeling of being served by a daughter-in-law is indeed different.
Shuwan divided her hair into three parts, and after several times, it was not even enough.
The fourth elder brother waited impatiently, "Have you combed yet?"
Shuwan braided her hair clumsily, "Master, don't worry, I'll do it right away!"
She moved faster and accidentally scratched her hair, which hurt Si elder brother's scalp.
"Hiss!" The fourth elder brother gasped in pain, "Can you make it up?"
Shuwan was so anxious that she was about to cry, "I... I will practice more in the future."
She finally finished braiding the braids, and the fourth elder brother stood up and was about to leave, but Shuwan pulled him back again.
"Master, let Xia'er comb it again!"
The fourth elder brother frowned, grabbed the braid and pulled it in front of his eyes.
His thin braids were loose at the top and tight at the bottom, uneven in thickness and extremely ugly.
The fourth elder brother gave Shuwan a white look, and Shuwan lowered her head tremblingly.
Xia'er quickly untied the braids and combed the fourth brother's hair again.
The fourth elder brother exuded air-conditioning all over his body, scaring him to death, Shuwan sent him out tremblingly, not daring to lift his head.
Before leaving, the fourth elder brother sneered at Shuwan, "I almost thought that Nanny Ning was my mother-in-law, her words are more effective than mine!"
Nanny Ning knelt down in panic, "Fourth elder brother, forgive me."
Her proposal was perfectly fine, who would have thought that Fujin was so stupid!
Shuwan saluted timidly and apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't dare anymore..."
The fourth elder brother snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left the house.
Shuwan went back to the inner room, without changing clothes or dressing up, lying on the bed crying and wiping away her tears.
"Since I married Elder Brother, I have never blushed with Elder Brother. Today, because of some trivial matter, I provoked Elder Brother to be furious. What face do I have to see Elder Brother!"
Nanny Ning was extremely embarrassed, "It's all the servant's fault. The servant did not expect that Fujin would not serve others. Don't be sad, Fujin. The servant teaches you carefully, and you can always win back elder brother's heart."
Chun'er bit her lower lip, Xia'er told her last night that if she wanted to win Fujin's favor, she had to be loyal, and she had to use her housekeeping skills to impress Fujin.
Right now, the opportunity is here!
"It is said that Mammy is well-informed, why is she confused now? Why was the fourth elder brother angry just now? Because Fujin only listened to you, not fourth elder brother! Now you let Fujin learn to serve others from you, are you afraid Brother Si is not angry enough! Isn’t this adding fuel to the fire!”
Nanny Ning frowned, she had a lot of face around Concubine De, no matter who saw her, they had to give her some face.How dare a yellow-haired girl talk to her like that!
It's really strange, this girl looked very cute when she was hanging out with me yesterday, but she seems to be a different person today.
Chun'er is also trembling in her heart, this is the nanny next to Concubine De, the master will give up three points!
But there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and there is no shortage of slaves around the master, so it is too difficult to get ahead.Wealth and wealth are in danger, she will act as a loyal protector today!
"Why are you staring at me? I didn't make Fujin cry! You old man, let's see what time it is now! I'm about to greet you, and Fujin is still wearing his underwear!"
Chun'er poked her neck and muttered in a low voice, "It's lucky that I'm still the one who waits on the empress! I don't have any plans in my heart!"
Nanny Ning was furious: "You!"
Shuwan took Nanny Ning's hand, "Mommy, she is still young and ignorant, don't be as knowledgeable as her."
She turned her head and scolded Chun'er, "There are no rules, how can you talk to the nanny like this? You will be fined two months' worth of moon money, let's see if you dare!"
Chun'er shut her mouth in embarrassment, and Nanny Ning felt much more comfortable.
Shuwan wiped away her tears, dressed up and went to Yonghe Palace to pay her respects.
Today, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well, so I will spare everyone's greetings.Concubine De didn't want to see her daughter-in-law, so she didn't even show her face, and asked the maid to send her back.
Back home, Shuwan simply ate something and started to do housework.
Nanny Ning stood behind Shuwan and watched her handle things. After watching her for a long time, she only had one thought—slow!
Nanny Ning has read the one-page account book three times, and Shuwan is still reading it.
For a very small matter, Shuwan also wanted to get to the bottom of it, asking for a long time.
Nanny Ning watched her handle things, feeling as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.
Why so slow?It can kill people in a hurry!But Director Shuwan was not wrong, and she couldn't say it.
The morning time was wasted like this, and the fourth elder brother came back for lunch break at noon, but still ignored Shuwan.
Shuwan served her tenderly and tenderly, ladling up vegetables and soup, but the fourth elder brother was ungrateful and never had a good look at her.
When it was time for a nap, Nanny Ning and the others withdrew.
The fourth elder brother seemed to be having an affair, seeing no one here, hugged Shuwan, and kissed her on the face.
"My daughter-in-law has been wronged, is Nanny Ning still honest?"
Shuwan wrinkled her nose ghostly, "Who am I! Can I be bullied by Nanny Ning? After you left, I pretended to cry, and Chun'er beat Nanny Ning up. I just found out today, Chun'er has such a sharp mouth."
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Chun'er is loyal to protect the Lord, I have a big reward!"
"I've already rewarded it!"
Fourth elder brother: "You reward yours, I reward mine."
Shuwan pouted, "No! My money is mine, and your money is mine too!"
The fourth elder brother pinched Shuwan's nose, "Naughty! Domineering!"
He pushed Shuwan down and stole another incense, "Don't talk about them, sleep with me!"
Shuwan struggled, "No! I want to be pure-hearted and ascetic!"
The lunch break is too short, and the fourth elder brother doesn't want to be ascetic, but time doesn't allow it, so he can only kiss a few more times to enjoy himself.
Chun'er and Xia'er lived in the same room, and Xia'er took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into Chun'er's hand.
Chun'er was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Xia'er smiled and said: "Congratulations, Miss Chun'er! Fujin said, the few words you said this morning were particularly beautiful, this is a reward for you. Fujin also said, if you can talk, talk more, don't hold back on."
Chun'er held the silver ingot and her eyes shone brightly. This is not an ordinary reward, this is the wealth she has fought for!
Chun'er dug out a delicate purse and packed the silver ingots carefully.
"Let Fujin please! I have something even better!"
Chun'er walked up and down the room excitedly, pondering all kinds of cursing and witty words in her mind, just waiting to show her skills in the afternoon.
It's almost nap time, Chun'er and Xia'er go to wake up Si Age and Shuwan.
Seeing Chun'er, the fourth elder brother said in a rare and gentle way: "Chun'er protected Fujin in the morning, he did a good job, and there is a reward."
Chun'er was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. She had been serving the fourth elder brother for so long, and it was the first time she had the fourth elder brother's smiling face.
"Master, a slave has no other abilities, so he can still swear. I've thought about a lot of swear words, and I'm sure I'll scold Nanny Ning so badly!"
Shuwan shook her head slightly, this Chun'er!She is indeed eloquent, able to praise and swear, but she is not as smart as Xia'er.
In the morning, Nanny Ning offended the fourth elder brother, and Chun'er's cursing just hit the fourth elder brother's itch.
Now that Nanny Ning has done nothing wrong, why scold her for no reason?
Nanny Ning is not easy to get along with. She knows that she has offended the fourth elder brother, so she will definitely find a way to change the bad impression that the fourth elder brother has on her.
Sister Ning is the concubine's concubine after all, and the fourth elder brother does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face, so basic respect is still required.
Xia'er is thoughtful and can plan for Shuwan.Although Chun'er is not as smart as Xia'er, she can persuade the little palace ladies and eunuchs in the yard with her sharp tongue.
Shuwan pointed at Chun'er and said with a smile: "You girl is addicted to quarreling, don't you understand the principle of respecting the old and loving the young? Nurse Ning is such an old person, don't bully her. Go and get the scriptures, paper and pen Bring it, I don’t have to deal with housework in the afternoon, I’m going to continue copying the scriptures.”
Chun'er was a little disappointed, she had been preparing for lunch for so long!I didn't expect it to be useless...
The fourth elder brother laughed at Shuwan, "Copying the scriptures? Have you changed your ways? Do you have the concentration?"
Shuwan glared at her, "Who do you look down on? You read my name!"
The fourth elder brother read it again for no reason, "Shu Wan?"
"Yes, Shuwan, it means that I am virtuous and gentle. For a lady like me, what is copying scriptures? Go to school quickly! When you come back, I will teach you what is three days away When you look at it with admiration!"
The fourth elder brother was about to die laughing, "Okay, I'll just wait for Fujin to teach me!"
Not long after Si elder brother left, Nanny Ning came over.
She thought that Fujin would be fine in the afternoon, so she should go and see Little Elder Brother and Little Gege.
As a regular wife, regardless of whether the child is a child born to a concubine or a child born to a concubine, as long as it is the blood of the fourth elder brother, Fujin should treat her equally.
Mother Ning went to see Li Gege and Song Gege yesterday, Li Gege is not very good at raising children, the room is stuffy and stuffy, the little elder brother may not be comfortable staying there.
Song Gege himself is sick, how to take care of little Gege?
According to Nanny Ning's wishes, Fujin should take the two children into his main room to take care of them.
However, she is new here and hasn't figured out the situation yet, so it's inappropriate to make such big moves.And the fourth elder brother didn't look at the face of Empress Defei and gave her preferential treatment.
She has to gain the trust of the fourth elder brother first, let the elder brother see her value, and let the elder brother be her backer, so that she can discipline Fujin.
Nurse Ning came to the main room and was about to salute and say hello when she was stopped by Xia'er.
She dragged Ning Momo outside to talk, "Mommy, don't make a sound, Fujin washes his hands and burns incense, and prepares to copy the scriptures. No one should disturb you while copying the scriptures, or you will appear impious."
Nanny Ning lifted the curtain and looked inside quietly.
Shuwan washed her hands, dried them with a cloth towel, lit a stick of incense, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures with both hands.
Nanny Ning nodded in satisfaction. Although Fujin did not do well, he was obedient.
After she finished copying the scriptures, let's talk about looking after the child!
Nanny Ning said to Xia'er: "Fu Jin needs to be clean for copying scriptures, you all go out, I will guard Fujin here."
Xia'er smiled and said: "Then it's hard work, mother. With you guarding Fujin, why do we have to worry about it? Now it's time to get the monthly payment, and Chun'er and I go to get the money. There are some needlework in Fujin. Do it, leave it to Bingxiang and Qiuxiang."
Nanny Ning smiled and said: "You have arranged it well, you guys go to work!"
Xia'er and the others left, and Nanny Ning made a pot of tea for Shuwan, and put it by Shuwan's hand.
Shuwan doesn't believe in religion, but she fears gods and Buddhas, and she is very devout when copying scriptures.
The Diamond Sutra has about 5000 characters, and Shuwan recited it before transcribing it.
The handwriting must be in block letters. She wrote stroke by stroke and concentrated on writing.If she wrote a wrong word or copied a line, she would throw away the page and copy it again.
With such concentration, Nanny Ning kept shaking her head while watching.
For nothing else, it's still too slow!
Almost all the concubines in the palace believed in Buddhism, and they all copied scriptures for the emperor or their children.
Sister Ning has seen the Concubine De concubine copy the scriptures, and she is also devoutly cleansing her hands and burning incense. The Concubine De concubine copied the scriptures quickly and well.
The tip of the pen moved across the paper, flowing out one square font after another.The brushing sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper makes people feel at peace.
Nanny Ning loves to read Concubine De's copied scriptures the most, she can stand there and read all day.
Now, seeing Shuwan copying scriptures, Nanny Ning feels that her hobby is gone.
It's no wonder that Nanny Ning is hypocritical, watching others copy scriptures to relieve stress, watching Shuwan copy scriptures to raise blood pressure.
Shuwan is a lady of every family, and her mother is a noble daughter of the clan. She has received an excellent education since she was a child, and her block letters are very beautiful.
Others shake their wrists and write a word in two or three strokes. Shuwan holds the pen and traces stroke by stroke, not like writing, but like tracing flowers.
The printed block letters are really beautiful, so what's the use?Can kill people!
The Diamond Sutra has a lot of words and cannot be copied all at once. Every time you stop, you have to make dedications and read the prayers.
As Shuwan wrote, the hair on the writing brush fell out. She pulled out the hair and got ink on her hands. She had to stop, wash her hands and read the Diamond Sutra again, and then continued to copy.
After a while, she wanted to go to the toilet, so she stopped again, and the process of washing hands, burning incense and chanting sutras was done again.
Nanny Ning couldn't stand it anymore, "Fu Jin, although copying scriptures must be devout, it shouldn't be so cumbersome."
Shuwan seriously criticized her, "Mommy, the more pious the scripture copying, the better. The Buddha will not blame you if you have more etiquette."
She picked up the pen, thought for a while, put it down again, turned around, and scooped up water to wash her hands again.
Nanny Ning was dying of anxiety, "Fu Jin, why did you wash your hands again?"
"When copying the scriptures, you must be calm and get rid of distracting thoughts. I chant the scriptures every time before copying the scriptures, just to let my mentality enter the state of no falsehood and no self."
Shuwan warned Nanny Ning not to talk to her again, "Don't disturb my practice!"
Shuwan's face was full of desires and desires, as if the Buddha's light was shining all over her face, and she was about to be taken to the Western Paradise.
In fact, she laughed secretly in her heart, holding back her laughter until her stomach ached.
When Shuwan was doing housework in the morning, she noticed that every time she dawdled, Nanny Ning's face looked like she was constipated.
Shuwan recalled how she watched her nephew read and practice calligraphy at home when she was not married.
Her nephew was mischievous and connected everything, and became sleepy when it was time to study.
Shuwan watched him do his homework, but only wrote five big characters, and he could linger from half an hour to midnight.
Picking fingers, paper, pens, inkstones, nostrils, everything around him can be picked, but he refuses to do homework.
At that time, Shuwan was so angry that she broke two feather dusters.
Now Shuwan has become someone she once hated. Her dawdling skill is less than one-tenth of that of her nephew, but it is enough to torture Nanny Ning.
Nanny Ning used to be in charge of teaching the new maids, probably because of her work. She has a bit of a teacher's temperament, likes to preach, and is a bit tough. She always hopes that the students will follow her pace.
Teaching court ladies is not just to teach them to obey the rules, but also to teach them to work smartly and quickly.
For example, anyone can do simple sweeping tasks such as mopping the floor, but how to wipe the floor quickly and quietly is also a science.
Nanny Ning really wanted to discipline Fujin severely, but unfortunately she was not Shuwan's mother-in-law, let alone Shuwan's own mother.
Shuwan washed her hands and sat down at the table again.
She thought to herself: It feels good to be a foreign worker!She had to copy slowly. Sooner or later, she would drive Ning Momo away.In the future, Concubine De will ask her to copy the scriptures again, so she can save a few copies to cope with it.There is no way, she said it when she served tea on the second day of marriage, she is slow in doing things.If Concubine De doesn't believe it, she can ask Nanny Ning!Nanny Ning has experienced it herself!
What is the highest state of fishing?It is now to plan the future fish!
Shuwan's slow way of copying scriptures tortured Nanny Ning enough.
Nanny Ning looked towards the door from time to time, wondering why Xia'er and the others haven't come back yet?
These four girls are too sincere. She said that they are here to serve, but don't they know to come over and play a substitute?
After finally staying up until the evening, Nanny Ning reckoned that the fourth elder brother would be back soon, and she could finally be relieved.
The servants eat the big pot of rice from the imperial dining room, but the master's meals are not sloppy.
The fourth elder brother will be back soon, but Fujin is still drawing patterns, how should we arrange dinner?
Nanny Ning is not very clear about Si elder brother's taste, so she dare not make her own decisions.
She looked outside, Xia'er and the others hadn't come back yet.She looked at Shuwan again, and the resentment of being tortured all afternoon welled up from the bottom of her heart.
She was standing in front of Shuwan, who was seriously copying the scriptures and really didn't notice her.
Nurse Ning didn't know what she was thinking, she raised her hand and pushed Shuwan.
"Ah!" Shuwan was startled, the brush in her right hand drew a long mark on the paper, and her left hand reflexively slapped Nanny Ning.
Nanny Ning was also frightened, she just patted Shuwan on the shoulder lightly, was she so frightened?
She covered the back of her hands and rubbed them. Fujin was quite strong, and her hands turned red.
"Forgive me, Fujin, this servant didn't intend to scare you. Look at the time, you see that the fourth elder brother is coming back, you should prepare meals for the fourth elder brother."
Shuwan put down the pen, she looked down and saw the long ink smear on the paper, her heart was full of anger, she wished she could eat Ning Momo.
Is it easy for her to fish and grind foreign jobs?Based on the way she draws patterns, it takes at least an hour to describe this scripture.
She managed to let go of her thoughts and carefully copy some scriptures, but Ning Mama's slap wiped away the fruits of her labor.
Xia Er and the others heard the screams and hurried in to check.
Shuwan sighed, "Mother Ning, I respect that you are from the Yonghe Palace, and I will save face for you in every way. I will send someone to help you pick up your luggage and tidy up a good room for you. You have also been to Song Gege's house , your room is better than Song Gege's!"
Nanny Ning hurriedly said: "Thank you Fujin for taking care of me, I know I was wrong, please forgive Fujin."
"Know it? I think you committed it knowingly! I have already told you, don't talk to me, don't disturb my practice. It's better for you, come over quietly, slap me on the shoulder, and take away all my scriptures. Ruined. What are you doing? Scaring me to play?"
Chun'er can be considered to have found a chance to show her power, she stood up and said: "Mother Ning, thank you for being an old man in the Yonghe Palace! How could you make such a mistake? A young maid who just entered the palace is not like this. You are so terrible!" She's a bit of a concubine."
Nanny Ning gritted her teeth angrily, it's this little girl again!She is too young to be her own daughter!How dare she talk to me like that!
Xia'er stood up and said, "Nurse Ning, don't talk about Chun'er! She has always been straightforward and careless. For her young age, don't be as knowledgeable as her."
Nanny Ning didn't want to bear it, she was sent by Empress Defei, why should she be angry with a little girl?
"Oh, Chun'er is 17 years old, isn't she? She is not young at this age! As a court lady, the most important thing is to be cautious. Compared with me, she is indeed young. There are some truths that she still doesn't understand, wait for her She will understand when she is old, but I don’t know if she can live to the day when she is sensible.”
Shuwan knocked on the table in displeasure, "Mother Ning, are you still ashamed to talk about others? You are not sensible at such an old age! I am telling you about your problem, why are you accusing Luo Chun'er? You still threaten She was short-lived! What? You are an assassin, you want Jing Ke to assassinate Chun'er?"
Nanny Ning suppressed her anger and saluted Shuwan.
"The slave knows it's wrong."
Shuwan: "Oh, it's a good thing you have a mouth, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see your regret! Chun'er is right, you are so old, you are not as good as a little palace maid. In the morning you Make elder brother angry, and want to teach elder brother how to do things. Now it is even more powerful, and dare to fight with me!"
Nanny Ning did not dare to plead guilty, she could not bear the charge.
"Fu Jin! You lent my servant the courage, but I dare not fight with you! This servant just wants you to take a rest, don't be too tired!"
Nanny Ning knelt down in a panic, and Shuwan stood up, feeling that it was more imposing to be so aggressive.
Maybe because she got up in a hurry, Shuwan's eyes darkened, and she sat back on the chair.
Qiuxiang Bingxiang rushed over to support her, Xia'er rolled her eyes and burst into tears.
"Mother Ning, you are too much! You
