[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

Shuwan went home and told the fourth elder brother about Zhang Jia's affairs, and the fourth elder brother felt uncomfortable after hearing it.

"No wonder the thirteenth brother is always depressed recently. It turns out that Zhang Jia's mother's condition has worsened."

Shuwan said: "I advised Zhang Jia'eriang to take care of her health and not to be discouraged, but she just shook her head and said that now she is just living through life."

The fourth elder brother sighed: "If it is really bad, the life of the thirteenth brother may be even more difficult. In the palace, there is a big difference between a mother with a forehead and a mother without a forehead. You can see it by looking at the old ten. The servants serve him. As long as he doesn’t get hungry or cold, no one cares about his future. No one cares about the old ten, who hangs around behind the eighth and the ninth every day, and is a mess in his studies.”

"The tenth brother is no longer a child, and he has his reasons for fooling around. His uncle's family is the Niu Hulu clan, so prominent. If he is as good and self-disciplined as you, and he will often come and go with the ministers, let alone the prince, Even the emperor suspects that he has bad intentions."

The fourth elder brother nodded and smiled. He didn't listen carefully to the other words, but only heard the phrase "excellent self-discipline like you".

Shuwan continued: "If you want to say that you are pitiful, the two princesses are pitiful! You men are easy to talk about outside. The two princesses will marry in Mongolia in the future. They are not familiar with the place, and their living habits are not the same. There's no one to discuss it with."

Fourth elder brother: "There is no way around this. A girl will marry sooner or later. After she gets married, she will belong to someone else's family. So what if her mother's family is close? Could it be that she was wronged and I went to her house to make trouble? Threatened the forehead, and the two of them reconciled on the back foot, making me a stranger inside and out."

Shuwan sneered, "I think you just don't take your sisters seriously, you'll see when little Gege gets married. Hmph, by then you must wish to live in your son-in-law's house and watch over your son-in-law every day for your daughter."

The fourth elder brother was a little guilty, he coughed, "This... a daughter is not the same as a younger sister..."

Shuwan looked at him with a half-smile, but the fourth prince couldn't continue.

"Actually, I can also understand brother and sister. You brothers and sisters can only see each other a few times a year. I know in my heart that this is a sister who is related by blood. In fact, it is almost like a stranger."

The fourth elder brother said: "That's not true! Let alone the eighth and tenth younger sisters, I'm not very familiar with the fifth younger sister."

"It doesn't matter if you are familiar with them or not. After all, they are brothers and sisters, so take care of them if you can. Zhang Jiaeriang doesn't ask much, but it's not a big deal for the younger sisters to write a few more letters after they get married."

The fourth elder brother nodded, sending letters is a trivial matter, and they are not too poor to get rid of it, and sending money and things will be enough at that time.

Speaking of silver, the fourth elder brother thought of another thing.

"How much cash is in your dowry?"

Shuwan did some calculations, "I don't have much cash on hand. I have spent a lot in the past two years, and I probably have... 3000 taels of silver notes."

The fourth elder brother said: "You take it out and use it for me first, and I will return it to you after the emperor distributes the An family's money."

Shuwan got up to get the money, still teasing Si Age.

"I knew that the little boy couldn't believe it. I don't know which bad guy I learned from, and I know how to cheat my daughter-in-law's dowry."

The fourth elder brother joked with her cooperatively, "Take your money, and I will go out to raise a little wife!"

Shuwan glared at him, "Hey, hey! Don't just raise a little wife! This is my money after all, you can raise another little man for me!"

Shuwan handed the box containing the bank notes to the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother smiled and asked, "You don't even ask, what am I going to do with your silver."

"You can't really raise a little wife!"

Shuwan covered her face with a veil pretentiously, "Hey, how dare I take care of the man's business? If you really want to raise a concubine, I can't do it either. How can I be a magnanimous housewife! Sigh, stay The man who keeps you can't keep your heart. The man you can't get is like sand in the palm of your hand, and it will be scattered when the wind blows."

The fourth elder brother hugged Shuwan into his arms and pinched her face, "I was wondering, where did you learn so many witty words?"

"Oh, there are some things I shouldn't have told you, but who made me like you! Let me confess to you today! In fact, I was reincarnated, with memories from my previous life."

The fourth elder brother had a cold face, "Oh, who were you in your previous life?"

"Guess, I guarantee you won't guess."

The fourth elder brother thought to himself: I guess you were a matchmaker in your previous life, and you could say good things and quarrel with others. Apart from a matchmaker, I really can't think of anything else, you should be the kind with a bad conscience.

The fourth elder brother coaxed her with a smile, "I guess it's a princess who looks like a fairy."

"No! Be bolder and guess more outrageously!"

"That's the tofu Xishi that sells tofu at the street corner."

The fourth elder brother guessed at beauty, coaxing Shuwan into a ecstasy.

"Okay, okay! Stop boasting, I'll be ashamed if you praise me any more!"

The fourth elder brother asked: "So what was your last life?"

Shuwan happily replied: "It's Pippi Shrimp!"

The fourth elder brother has never heard of this kind of creature, "Pippi shrimp?"

"Yes, because I was a Pipi shrimp in my previous life, so I am very skinny in this life."

Fourth elder brother: "..."

The fourth elder brother held Shuwan down and gave her a deep kiss, as if he was about to punish her with love.

To make you skinny, to make you skinny shrimp, is to owe a lesson.

Shuwan raised her hand to beg for mercy, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I was a bean curd beauty in my previous life, please forgive me!"

The fourth elder brother pinched Shuwan's nose to see if she dared to talk nonsense in the future.

Enough playing around, the fourth elder brother explained to Shuwan the reason for embezzling her dowry money.

"I sent someone to buy Zhuangzi's property. I have seen a lot recently, but few of them are satisfactory. A few days ago, the people below found a good property. It is near the capital. It is large enough and connected to a fertile field. I like it very much. , but the silver is not in my hand, I don't want to miss it, so I will borrow your silver first."

It is easy to buy a field, but it is difficult to buy a field near the capital.All the princes and nobles in Beijing wanted to buy land near the capital, and when someone sold the land, everyone rushed to buy it.

The fourth elder brother's original plan was to send someone to inquire first, and then buy the land he wanted after getting the Anjia money in a few years.I didn't expect to meet such a good field, and the fourth elder brother wanted to win it no matter what.

Buying a house and land is a serious matter, and of course Shuwan fully supports it.

"You can use the silver as you like. It's not good enough. If you don't have anything else, you have a lot of silver. If it doesn't work, I pawned all my gold and silver collars, and I can exchange them for a large amount of cash."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Then I will rely on Fujin!"

"Good talk good talk!"

Shuwan speaks generously, but she still despises herself a little in her heart.

Alas, she also has some love brains, so the money was given out like this.It is said that dowry is a woman's confidence, but now she has no confidence.

never mind!Let's take care of the fourth elder brother!It's just that the price of nurturing is a bit expensive, and I feel that the fourth elder brother's appearance is not worthy of this price...

The days that followed were peaceful, with nothing to say.

After the new year was over, and it was still in the first month, the emperor issued an edict for the southern tour, ordering all supplies to be prepared in the capital and not to harass the people.

This time the Queen Mother also went on a southern tour, accompanied by a few older brothers, but there was no fourth elder brother.

At the beginning, the fourth elder brother was still a little bit lost, but later on he didn't want to go. The mansion has been built, and now it's just the finishing touches.

It happened that the emperor was away, so he could often go out of the palace to visit the new mansion.

The empress dowager was not at home, and the atmosphere in the palace became much more relaxed.

The concubines don't have to go to the Ningshou Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother every day, and naturally there will be no conflicts if they don't meet each other.Everyone huddled in their own rooms to live their own little days, chatting with their friends and doing needlework with nothing to do, generally speaking, it was very comfortable.

Concubine De asked Shuwan to send Kang Bao to the Yonghe Palace. Firstly, she was idle and bored, and secondly, she wanted Kang Bao to accompany her more. When the emperor came back from his southern tour, Shuwan and the others would move out of the palace. , it is difficult for Concubine De to see her grandson.

The emperor set off in February and returned to Beijing in May.The fourth elder brother and Shuwan started to pack their luggage and prepare to move.

Before moving, Shuwan went to say goodbye to her elder sister-in-law with whom she had a good relationship.

Zhang Jia sent some gifts to congratulate Shuwan on her housewarming in advance.Her body was up and down, and she was still so thin.

Zhang Jiashi smiled at Shuwan, "It is said that winter is hard. I survived last winter, and I will probably be able to survive this winter as well."

Shuwan persuaded her not to think too much, "Many people live longer because of many disasters and illnesses. Maybe you will live longer than me!"

Zhang Jiashi smiled, "Then I thank you for your kind words first."

After going to Zhang Jia's place, Shuwan went to sit with the Crown Princess.

Princess Princess' little Gege is healthy, lively and cute.The princess was anxious to give birth to a son, but unfortunately there was no movement in her stomach.

"When you move away, I will be even more boring in the palace." The princess said unhappily.

"Don't say that, I'm gone, naturally there will be better sisters-in-law to marry in. There are many people who want to curry favor with you, how can it be boring?"

The princess said angrily: "You are such an incomprehensible bastard! As the saying goes, it is hard to find a confidant. Do you think I will take care of anyone who flatters me?"

Shuwan smiled and said: "I don't like to talk to you young misses the most. My feelings are too rich and delicate. I just moved. You are so sad, as if I will never enter the palace again."

Shuwan said a few more jokes to make the Crown Princess happy, but the Crown Princess forced a smile, but was still unhappy.

The interpersonal relationship in the palace is relatively complicated, and it is also mixed with complicated interests.

The princess likes Shuwan's straightforward character, and the fourth elder brother is the prince's man, so she dares to have a sincere relationship.In the future, the sisters-in-law who marry in may not have someone like Shuwan.

Shuwan was going to move out of the palace after all, the princess didn't think about it any more, she asked about another matter.

"Your Kangbao is three years old! Is your stomach still not moving?"

Shuwan shook her head, "There is no movement at all."

The crown princess sighed, "I am the same, I feel anxious and flustered."

"Don't worry, having a child depends on fate, the more anxious you are, the less likely you will be able to conceive."

The princess said: "Of course you don't have to worry about it. With Kang Bao here, other women can't surpass Kang Bao after giving birth. I only have one daughter, and I always feel uneasy."

Without a son, the princess always feels that she has no confidence.In addition, the princess does not want the child born to Fujin and Gege to become the grandson of the emperor.

Shuwan bowed her head and said nothing, Shuwan couldn't answer the words of the Crown Princess.She doesn't talk too much about matters between husband and wife.

After returning from the Crown Princess, Shuwan went to say goodbye to a few sister-in-laws, but there was no parting sorrow between them, anyway, everyone was going out of the palace, so we could see each other outside the palace then.

On the day of leaving the palace, Nanny Ning took people to load the car at home, and Shuwan led Kang Bao to Ningshou Palace and Yonghe Palace to bid farewell to the elders.

The Queen Mother and Concubine De told them to live a good life and said some words of encouragement.

Shuwan led Kang Bao back to elder brother's place, and then left the home where she had lived for nearly four years with fourth elder brother.

Their small yard has become empty, and others will live here in the future.

As for now, Shuwan and the others are leaving here to start a new life outside the palace.

The moving team was too slow, the masters went to the new mansion first, and the moving team walked slowly behind.

It took a long time for the carriage to arrive at the new residence. Shuwan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked carefully at her new home.

The vermilion gate is painted brand new, and there are two majestic stone lions at the gate.The carriages of Shuwan and the fourth elder brother entered through the main entrance, and the carriages of other people entered through the side entrance.

The new mansion was magnificently built, and the fourth elder brother helped Shuwan get out of the car, and took her to walk from the front yard to the back yard.

There are many small yards built in front, the middle one is the yard where the fourth elder brother works, and the next few yards are built for the children.

The fourth elder brother doesn't know how many children they will have in the future, but the yard for reading has been prepared in advance.

There are also some small courtyards in front, which are reserved for the disciples of the fourth elder brother.

In the backyard, the fourth elder brother pointed to two remote courtyards, one for each of Song Gege and Wu Gege.

There are also several elegant small courtyards and embroidery buildings reserved for Xiao Gege.The fourth elder brother is not only ready to give birth to a son, but also ready to give birth to a daughter.

Further on is the garden. The flowers and plants in it are not expensive, but they are dense and well-proportioned, and they look very good.

After making a big circle, the fourth elder brother took Shuwan to their main courtyard.

The main courtyard has the largest area, with carved beams and painted buildings, which is more beautiful than the study in the front courtyard of the fourth elder brother.The most important thing is that there is a small martial arts field next to the main courtyard, where Shuwan can practice martial arts every day.

Shuwan was stunned when she saw the martial arts arena. There are all kinds of weapons in the room behind the martial arts arena. There is also a small tea room here. Shuwan is practicing martial arts outside, and the servants who serve her can make tea for Shuwan in the tea room.

Shuwan asked: "You... did you modify the drawing later? I remember that it wasn't on the drawing at the beginning."

"Practicing martial arts is like practicing handwriting. If you don't practice for a day, you will be handy. It's too hard for you to hide in the house and practice. We moved to a new house, and it's not that there is no space. Why bother yourself."

Shuwan's heart was sour and sweet, her throat seemed to be blocked by cotton.

The fourth elder brother said this lightly, but most men don't like their wives to be too strong.

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "You can do whatever you want, at home, you don't have to be restrained."

Because there were many waiters behind her, Shuwan was too embarrassed to give her a hug, so she could only secretly touch Gousi's finger to express her gratitude.

The area of ​​the new mansion is not small. After Shuwan and the fourth elder brother went around, the convoy to pull the luggage had arrived. Nurse Ning, Xia Er and others were directing everyone to move things.

Nanny Ning has already tidied up a clean room, she asked Shuwan and Fourth Elder Brother to rest, as long as they clean it up outside.

Fourth elder brother and Shuwan lay on the couch, leaning against each other.

Shuwan put her arms around Si elder brother's waist and acted like a baby, "Oh, you are so kind!"

The fourth elder brother closed his eyes and smiled, "Tell me carefully, what's wrong with me?"

"Anywhere is good! You build me a big yard, and you also build me a martial arts arena. When I'm at home, my Ama is enough to spoil me, but it's still not as good as you."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "It's true that girls are extroverted. Father-in-law will be annoyed when he hears this."

"Oh, there's nothing he can do about it, you're just fine!"

The fourth elder brother opened his eyes and said, "I can do better!"

Shuwan thought, how could it be better?Do you want to beg for a kiss with me?Such a warm and touching moment, kiss can have.

Shuwan raised her head slightly and closed her eyes.

The fourth elder brother took out two pieces of paper from his arms, smiled and stretched out his finger to tap on Shuwan's mouth.

Shuwan felt that the touch was wrong, she opened her eyes, and there were two land deeds in front of her.

Shuwan took it over and took a closer look. The location of the field was near the capital, and the name on the land deed was actually Shuwan's surname!

The fourth elder brother said: "This is the land I bought with your money before, with your name written on it, it is your private property."

Shuwan: "But...but the money you borrowed has already been paid back!"

The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "What? You don't want the private property delivered to your door?"

Shuwan nodded again and again, "I want it, I want it very much."

She looked at the title deed several times over and over again, and then folded and stuffed it into her dark pocket.

Shuwan rushed over and kissed the fourth elder brother on the face, "I just said it! You are the best! It's just...you gave me the land, where is the land in our house?"

"I'll send someone to buy another one, so you don't have to worry." The fourth elder brother folded his hands on the back of his head, and he asked lazily, "Since I'm the best, shouldn't you treat me better and give me some rewards? "

"what do you want?"

The fourth elder brother pulled Shuwan to make her lie on him, and then bit her ear.

Shuwan's eyes were full of charm, and her face became more and more red.After the fourth elder brother finished speaking, Shuwan thumped him on the shoulder.

"You are not serious!"

"Tsk, it's just a change of posture, there's nothing serious about it."

Shu Wanfei rolled her eyes at him, "Go ahead and dream! The land deed is already in my hands, who wants to curry favor with you! Go sleep with Kang Bao today!"

After finishing speaking, Shuwan tidied up her clothes, and went to the next door to watch Nanny Ning and the others pack their things.

The fourth elder brother lay on the couch and sighed, "Oh, what a mistake!"

He remembered that in the future, he had to ask for rewards first, and then give benefits.

The layout of the main room is similar to that of the palace, but with a larger area and more cabinets.

Kang Bao still lives in Shuwan's yard. The fourth elder brother said that he will move to the front yard when he is six years old.When the time comes, ask him to enlighten him with reading, teach him how to ride a horse and shoot an arrow, and you can no longer pamper him like you did when you were a child.

Before Kang Bao went to the front yard, Shuwan was already feeling distressed.But she can't do anything about it, the royal family's education methods are like this, the fourth elder brother was worse than Kang Bao when he was a child!

Kang Bao still doesn't understand how hard he will have in the future, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable in the new home.

The eunuchs and maids were busy moving things and tidying up the house, so his little man ran around, deliberately bumping into the eunuchs who were carrying boxes.The nanny and maid could only chase after him to protect him, and softly advised him to be careful.

Shuwan was angry and scared when she saw it. If the eunuch missed the box and hit Kang Bao, the consequences would be disastrous.Shuwan grabbed Kang Bao and gave him a training session, then threw him next door and asked him to play in the empty martial arts arena.

There are too many trivial things to do when moving to a new home, and it took two days just to pack things.

The new mansion is very big, and it turned out that the slaves that elder brother had brought out were not enough, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned many people, and Shuwan had to call them all to set up rules for them.

There must have been a lot of difficulties at the beginning, such as the chaotic division of responsibilities, the new slaves didn’t know the temperament of the fourth elder brother and Shuwan, and they liked to gossip, and some people like to gamble and steal things...

There are countless things, Shuwan can only deal with them bit by bit.

After Shuwan sorted out the affairs in the mansion, before she had time to rest, she had to post posts everywhere, inviting everyone to come to the mansion as guests.

The prince valued the fourth elder brother very much, so he brought the princess to the housewarming party.

The elder brother came alone, and it is said that Da Fujin was ill.The other elder brothers, Fujin, came together as husband and wife.

The Crown Princess was very happy to see Shuwan, and kept pulling her to talk, while the others listened with a smile, occasionally interjecting.

Sanfujin still likes yin and yang as before, "The fourth sibling's housewarming party is...a bit boring."

The princess smiled and said, "Isn't that what banquets are all about? There is a show and wine is a good banquet. The third brother and sister think it's boring, because they think the snacks and tea are not good, or because there are no expensive flowers and plants here!"

Shuwan echoed: "The King of Cheng County planted precious flowers and plants all over the yard for the third sister-in-law. If there are no flowers and plants, the third sister-in-law can't even eat!"

All the Fujins covered their mouths and laughed sullenly.

Sanfujin forced a smile, "Princess Concubine and Fourth Brother and Sister are joking."

Shuwan smiled and said: "I don't have famous flowers and plants here, but I have the best small opera in the capital here, please let the third sister-in-law make do to see it!"

Sanfujin curled her lips and smiled, not daring to mess with Shuwan anymore.

Shuwan asked the concubine to order a play, and the good show kicked off. Everyone concentrated on watching the play, and Wu Fujin came to Shuwan's side to talk.

"Look at the third sister-in-law, why don't you say she doesn't have a long memory, knowing that she is no match, she always makes trouble for you with words."

Shuwan smiled and said, "Maybe there is a lot of fun in it!"

Wu Fujin asked: "Just now I heard you say that the fourth elder brother built a martial arts arena for you, why don't you show it off? Isn't the housewarming party just for showing off?"

Shuwan shook her head and laughed, "You were led astray by the elder sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law. The housewarming banquet is to invite the guests to gather together for a lively and lively life. Living life is personal care, as long as you live well, why let outsiders know?"

"Sister-in-law Si is right. When I move out, I will do the same as you. Hire a theater troupe to make the performance better. Just do it in a satisfactory manner."

Shuwan persuaded: "Hey, don't learn from me in this matter. Brother Si and I like to keep a low profile, so we do things in a well-regulated manner. We think it's good not to make people laugh. It's your family's business how to handle the banquet. Go back and ask According to fifth elder brother, if fifth elder brother wants to make it more public, you can follow his wishes."

Wu Fujin curled her lips in disgust, Fifth Elder Brother doesn't like her, and she doesn't like Fifth Elder Brother!

"I don't want to talk to him, I can't see him, and my life is more comfortable. But he has changed a lot recently, at least he doesn't quarrel with me anymore."

Wu Fujin followed Shuwan to imitate the fifth elder brother's usual appearance.

"He was like this. When I asked him for something, he frowned, and then he didn't know what to think, the eyebrows stretched again, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his face was full of fake smiles. He thought he was very kind. In my eyes He is extremely ferocious, and the creases at the corners of his eyes are piled up into mountains."

Wu Fujin's description was so vivid that she and Shuwan both burst into laughter after speaking.
