[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

The fourth elder brother was displeased, his expression became more and more cold, and the third elder brother was a little scared.

He muttered in his heart, what happened to the fourth child?It's getting serious.

The third elder brother persuaded again, "Your little elder brother's full moon wine is finished, and you will stay idle when you go home. There is nothing to do in the yamen, and it is quite leisurely. Now it is time to go out to drink with colleagues and friends It's time, Sibeile, give brother some face, let's go together!"

Fourth elder brother sneered, "I dare not drink with third brother, I am not afraid of Fujin, I am afraid of third brother."

The third elder brother is a little proud, is the fourth brother afraid of my majesty as an elder brother?

He smiled and asked: "How do you say that? What are you afraid of me?"

The fourth elder brother: "I'm afraid that the third brother will be unlucky, and the bad luck on his body will be passed on to me!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to the third elder brother, got on his horse, shook his whip and walked away.

The third elder brother was in a hurry, "...Hey! This man! You treat my good intentions like a donkey's liver and lungs, and curse me!"

The fourth elder brother went to the front yard first when he returned to the mansion, and Su Peisheng brought a black lacquer jewelry box with gold inlays and stained teeth.

The vanity box is square, with two small symmetrical doors, and patterns such as camellias and butterflies around the box and on the top.These patterns are carved from ivory, then dyed, glued or embedded in the box, very beautiful.

The fourth elder brother opened the small door of the jewelry box, and there were three drawers inside.

Opening the drawers one by one, the fourth elder brother took out the jewelry inside and looked at them one by one.

Su Peisheng asked cautiously: "Master Belle, do you think this jewelry is okay? Do you need to change it?"

The fourth elder brother took out the magnifying glass and looked carefully, not missing a single joint.

After looking at it for a while, the fourth elder brother put the jewelry away and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done, exactly what I wanted."

Su Peisheng heaved a sigh of relief, Lord Baylor was finally satisfied, and finally didn't have to take it back to change it.Not to mention that the shopkeeper and craftsmen of the silver building changed jewelry to a crazy level, even he felt broken.The fourth elder brother's drawings are extremely detailed, there are so many requirements, and the time limit is still short, it's too hard to be human!

The fourth elder brother asked Su Peisheng to hold the box and go to the backyard with him.

Shuwan is still in confinement as usual, and she will be out of confinement soon after counting the time.Xiaobao is almost two months old, and he is not as noisy as he was in confinement.

Shuwan was sitting on the kang wearing a bean-green jacket, with her hair pulled up and only wearing a velvet flower.

The fourth elder brother entered the room, Shuwan didn't bother to get up to meet him, and sat on the kang as usual.

"Come back so early?" Shuwan asked, "A few days ago at Xiaobao's full moon banquet, the third sister-in-law said that the third brother's yamen is very busy. Aren't you and the third brother in the same yamen? What is the third brother in charge of? Why is he so busy?"

The fourth elder brother took off his cloak and sneered, "Him? Why isn't he busy inviting people to drink every day!"

Shuwan understood, it turned out that the third elder brother was out wandering.

"Brother seems to seldom go out to socialize. Don't stay at home with me all the time, you go out for a stroll too." Shuwan persuaded, "I know it's for my own good, but I don't want to delay my business."

To be honest, Shuwan was even more uncomfortable when the fourth elder brother was at home.The fourth elder brother knew that Shuwan was in a bad mood, so he always accommodated her, and was careful in what he said and did.

Seeing him like this, Shuwan felt distressed, so she could only try her best to cater to him, pretending to be happy and happy, she pretended to be very tired, it's better to let her stay alone quietly.

The fourth elder brother said with a smile: "Most of the people that the third brother makes friends with are villains who are stalking people. There is nothing to make friends with. Looking at it now, going home to accompany you is the most important thing."

Shuwan smiled at him very face-saving, she was so happy, but the smile on the fourth brother's face disappeared.

"I'll bring you a good thing!" The fourth elder brother cheered up and asked Su Peisheng to put down the jewelry box.

Shuwan understood when she saw the jewelry box, "Did you buy me new jewelry?"

Shuwan made a surprised look, "Thank you brother!"

She is like a wooden person now, and it is difficult to be happy.If it was in the past, she would have jumped up happily and threw herself on the fourth brother's face to kiss him.

But now seeing this exquisite jewelry box, Shuwan's heart hardly fluctuates.

Opening the box, Shuwan gave a face-saving wow, "This box is very beautiful."

Open the first drawer, and there is a peach tourmaline hairpin on the red flannelette.

The top of the golden hairpin is a small peach carved from pink tourmaline. The top of the small peach has leaves made of emerald. The hairpin is inlaid with tourmalines of other colors, and there are small rice beads beside the tourmaline.

Shuwan touched the little peach on the top, and couldn't help laughing, this little peach looks like a heart.

"It's so cute, I'm the mother of two, it's so playful to wear this."

The fourth elder brother took out the hairpin and put it on Shuwan's head, "You are still young! This is just right for you!"

Shuwan shyly touched the hairpin on her head, a hint of sweetness overflowed in her heart.

The fourth elder brother motioned her to open the second drawer to have a look.

"This is prettier than Peach's hairpin."

Shuwan opened the second drawer, and inside was a gold hairpin of hibiscus flower. The petals of hibiscus are layered on top of each other, and the petals are twisted with extremely thin gold wires. Extremely.

Shuwan covered her mouth in surprise, "What a delicate craftsmanship, so beautiful!"

The fourth elder brother was proud of himself, "The craftsmen I found outside the palace, they are naturally not as good as the craftsmen in the palace, but their brains are still good. I drew the blueprints, and they changed them several times, and they finally caught the eye."

Shuwan held the hibiscus flower and watched it carefully. The fourth elder brother grabbed it and stuck it in her bun, urging her to open the third drawer.

The third layer is also a hairpin, but the first two are exquisite and interesting, and the third one looks more solemn.

It is a rhombus-shaped gold base, with a ruby ​​inlaid in the middle, surrounded by a ring of tourmaline, then a ring of pearls outside, and a ring of tourmaline on the outermost layer, which is very rich and generous.

Shuwan held up her hairpin and said with a smile: "I will wear this when I go to the palace for a banquet in the future, and I will make sure that the third sister-in-law and the others will be jealous."

After speaking, she put the hairpin back.

The fourth elder brother felt uncomfortable, "Don't you like it?"

Shuwan froze for a moment, "Of course I like it! I don't know when you started preparing this, but I know it must have taken a lot of effort for you to send someone to change it. How could I not like it if you put so much effort into it? "

Shuwan is always so depressed, and the fourth elder brother is also very unhappy.Everyone wants to live a happy life, and there is a collection of negative energy around, who will be happy?

The fourth elder brother said with a sullen face: "If you don't like it, just say so. You don't have to say so many things against your will just to please me."

Shuwan quickly explained: "I didn't, brother, you misunderstood, I just..."

"I didn't misunderstand!" The fourth elder brother interrupted her, "You are my Fujin, can I not see whether you are happy or sad?"

Just like you can always read my mood from my expressionless face.

"If you are unhappy, just say it, and I will understand you. If you pretend to be happy, you feel uncomfortable, and I feel uncomfortable too!"

Shuwan sighed, "I'm sorry..."

She couldn't say anything other than sorry.

The fourth elder brother took a deep look at Shuwan, grabbed the cloak and slammed the door out.

Su Peisheng bent down to salute, and hurriedly chased him out and ran away.

Shuwan took out the third hairpin, then went down to look in the mirror.

Brother Si's stupid straight man doesn't know how to wear hairpins on women at all. The peach hairpins are stuck straight on the top of Shuwan's head, as if someone stabbed Shuwan with a sword from the Baihui acupoint.

Shuwan looked in the mirror, pulled the corners of her mouth, and smiled.

Qiuxiang poured a cup of tea for Shuwan, "Fujin, don't be sad, Sibeile may have been angry outside and is not in a good mood."

Shuwan shook her head, "It's not my fault, Brother Si, it's my fault."

She wanted to be stronger, but she didn't expect that such a pretense would hurt the fourth elder brother.

Yes, they are husband and wife.Shuwan has been able to dominate the fourth elder brother because she is good at handling the close distance with the fourth elder brother.

For a long time, Shuwan did not regard the fourth elder brother as an outsider, she would not serve him like a slave to dress and eat, and would act like a baby from time to time, letting the fourth elder brother serve her.

At the same time, she would not overly interfere with the fourth elder brother's affairs, leaving him a private space and freedom.

This time, Shuwan didn't want the fourth elder brother to be uncomfortable with her, but ignored the fourth elder brother's request to help her share.

They are husband and wife, and it is right for the fourth elder brother to help her share the burden. She shouldn't insist on it.

After she figured it out, Shuwan thought about how to win back the fourth elder brother's heart, but before she could figure out a good way, the fourth elder brother came again the next day.

This time he brought other gifts.

Two nurses brought a big wooden box, and the fourth elder brother sat down and knocked on the box.

"Come and see what good things I brought you."

Qiu Xiang stepped forward to open the box, and inside was a whole set of lake-green porcelain.

There are tea sets, vases, brush washers, etc. In short, everything that can be used in the house is complete.

Shuwan was really surprised this time, "Where did you get this?"

"The folks find a kiln burner, as long as they have enough money, things will come naturally."

The fourth elder brother took out a plate of lotus petals, "After all, it is not as good as the craftsmanship in the palace. I can't look at it carefully, but it is still rough."

Shuwan quickly ordered the maid to put the porcelain on the table.

The original famille rose porcelain was removed, and the lake green porcelain was placed, and the room became elegant in an instant, as if the color melted into the heart and resolved the restlessness in the heart.

"How beautiful!" Shuwan exclaimed, "You still think such a good color is rough?"

The fourth elder brother thought: The color is indeed good, but the craftsmanship is still a bit rough.

Shuwan asked the fourth elder brother: "When making jewelry, a few master craftsmen can do it together, but we can still meet the deadline. Porcelain firing can't be done in a day or two. When did you start preparing?"

The fourth elder brother lowered his head and smiled, "I started preparing it the first year. It was originally a New Year's gift for you, but I didn't expect the construction period to be delayed again and again, until now."

Shuwan blinked, suppressing the moisture in her eyes.

"Thank you...I don't know what to say other than thank you..."

The fourth elder brother sighed: "You and I are husband and wife, what are you talking about?"

Shuwan still couldn't help it, tears streaming down her eyes.

The fourth elder brother kicked out all the waiters, and Shuwan cried, how could they let them stare here.

The fourth elder brother walked over and put his arms around Shuwan's shoulders, letting her lie on his chest.

"Cry! If you feel really uncomfortable, just cry out..."

Shuwan put her arms around Si Age's waist, lay on his chest and whimpered.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be sad, but I can't control myself...I miss my Ama, I miss my mother..."

The fourth elder brother gently patted her on the back, coaxing her like Xiaobao Kangbao.

Shuwan cried: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't hide it from you, I'm really, really sad...but I'm afraid that my bad mood will also affect you."

The fourth elder brother persuaded: "I am your husband, I am not afraid of your bad mood, I will protect you."

Shuwan cried: "Thank you, you have tolerated me these days, I just... just have a hard time controlling myself. I want to be happy, woo, but I can't be happy."

"Don't force yourself if you can't be happy. If you want to lose your temper, lose your temper. I don't have a good temper, and I love getting angry too. You have always tolerated me!"

Shuwan quibbles for her ascetic beauty, "No, that's not the case, my elder brother is the most perfect and handsome!"

Shuwan hiccupped from crying, and the fourth elder brother couldn't help laughing.

It's unbearable for her to boast like that.

That night, Shuwan had cried enough and fell asleep in Si Age's arms.

The fourth elder brother lay down with her in his arms, and fell asleep peacefully with her.

Nanny Ning stood outside the house and spun around anxiously.

Fujin is not yet confinement, and is still living in the room where she gave birth.Although there is no bloody smell now, the fourth elder brother is a man!You can't live in the delivery room!

Nurse Ning deliberated and wanted to rush in to remind the fourth elder brother, but Xia Er quickly grabbed her.

"Mommy, what are you doing! Lord Belle and Fujin finally reconciled, why are you making trouble?"

Nurse Ning said angrily: "What do you know, a little girl? Fujin is not confinement yet, so she can't have sex with Baylor!"

Chun'er choked on her, "What nonsense is Mammy talking about? Lord Belle and Fujin are just sleeping on the same bed, what's the matter? Where are you sleeping?"

Nanny Ning pointed at Chun'er and cursed: "Stay here! I'm the nanny in charge of Fujin's courtyard, so I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

Chun'er Buyi, "You..."

Qiuxiang held Chun'er back, "Oh! Don't quarrel, everyone, they are all serving Fujin, and arguing will hurt harmony."

Qiuxiang said to Nanny Ning: "Fujin just reconciled with Lord Belle, and he should be in a much better mood. If you want to go in and remind Lord Belle, go in! As for whether Fujin and Lord Belle will be angry, we don't know."

Bingxiang sighed: "As for Fujin getting angry, we don't know if he will send you back to the palace and not provide you with retirement."

The four maids-in-waiting all left, leaving Nanny Ning standing at the door.

Nanny Ning walked around the door twice, and finally went back resentfully for the pension plan.

The next day, the fourth elder brother got up early to go out, but Shuwan was still awake.

The fourth elder brother took the clothes, shoes and socks, and went outside to freshen up lightly.

Naturally, the clothes worn yesterday can no longer be worn, Chun'er and Xia'er used them to change clothes and help Si elder brother to dress and freshen up.

The fourth elder brother told them in a low voice, "It's rare for Fujin to sleep well, so don't disturb her. Try to be satisfied with whatever Fujin wants to eat and play, and you are not allowed to disobey."

After thinking about it, the fourth elder brother added, "The little elder brother is wrapped up and carried to another room. If he cries, let the nanny coax him well, and he is not allowed to hug Fujin to disturb Fujin's rest."

Being able to make such a decision, it can only be said that the fourth elder brother is worthy of being a real father.

Chun'er and Xia'er quickly agreed, and not long after the fourth elder brother left, Shuwan woke up.

Seeing that there was nothing around her, she couldn't help but ask Chun'er, "Where's fourth elder brother?"

Chun'er smiled and said: "Master Baylor has already gone out to the yamen, he told the servants not to disturb Fujin. Fujin, how did you sleep last night?"

Shuwan sighed, "I slept for a long time, I just dreamed all the time, it's neither good nor bad. Oh, help me to dress up! Bring some bright clothes!"

"Oh! Good!" Chun'er happily agreed.

It has been a long time since Fujin has dressed up carefully, and he wears light-colored clothes every day, and sometimes he doesn't have a piece of jewelry on his hair, and he refuses to dress up properly.

Now that Fujin has thought about dressing up again, he probably looked away!

Chun'er told Xia'er and the others the good news. The four maids rummaged through the box, opened the dressing box, and took out the rouge and gouache. They were more active than dressing up themselves.

After combing her hair, putting on jewelry, and applying rouge on her lips, Shuwan looked much better.

She lowered her head slightly and touched her forehead, her hairline seemed to move back, she had to be careful!

"In the future, prepare ginger water to wash my hair. I heard that ginger water can be used to grow hair. I will try it too."

Qiu Xiang smiled and said, "It's not easy to get ginger water. Master Belle is in such a hurry these days, I can't wait to find you all the dragon liver and phoenix gall."

Bingxiang: "Now that you think about it, Lord Baylor is also happy, and our life is easier."

Shuwan sighed, "Think about it? How can it be so easy? In fact, I'm still in a panic! But I know that I shouldn't be so depressed, so I try to force myself to cheer up. If I want to go back to the past, maybe There is still a long way to go.”

Shuwan looked at herself in the mirror and smiled, but I am ready, I will be braver than before!

Shuwan turned around and ordered: "Go and prepare breakfast! Bring the account books from the mansion, I want to see them. Since I was pregnant, I seldom read the account books in the mansion. Now that I am about to give birth, I should Pick up things at home."

Qiuxiang and the others split up, and when breakfast was served on the table, a stack of account books was placed in Shuwan's hands.

Nurse Ning stepped forward and said with a smile: "Fu Jin, these account books are arranged in order from the back to the front, and the account book on the top is the accounts of the last few days. Please have a look at it."

Recently, Nurse Ning has been doing things for Shuwan. She is not greedy for a penny, and she has a clear conscience.

Nanny Ning felt that she managed things well, so she straightened her chest, waiting for Fujin's compliment.

Shuwan took a sip of the porridge, and casually opened the first account book. In front of the account book was the balance from the previous stage. Shuwan looked at the balance of the government's silver and money, and spit out the porridge from her mouth.

Nurse Ning quickly stepped forward to pat Shuwan on the back, "Fu Jin, are you choking? Chun'er, quickly bring water and give Fujin a treat."

Chun'er brought a glass of warm water, Shuwan gulped it down, and showed Ningma the balance.

"Mommy, did I have eye problems after giving birth? I remember that there were 5 taels of silver in the book at the beginning, but now there are only more than 1 taels of silver left?"

Nanny Ning quickly explained: "Fu Jin's eyes are fine, and there is no mistake in the book. When the mansion was first established, Lord Belle used money to buy a house and land. The good food produced by the fertile fields is for our mansion to eat. So you have to buy seeds and hire people to plant the crops, all of which cost money.

There are still a few pieces of land that have been rented out, but the harvest has not yet been harvested, and the little money rented out is not enough.

Some of the houses we bought were too dilapidated to be rented out, and we had to send someone to clean them up.

In addition to this, there are human exchanges, and there are three full moon banquets for the little elder brother, and the housewarming banquet at our house...

The expenses in the mansion are too high, and all the things used are of the highest quality, seeing that the emperor will no longer provide them to the mansion, so the money is spent like running water. "

Shuwan frowned and knocked on the table, "It's not like there are only 1 taels left! Ordinary people only spend 30 taels a year!"

Nanny Ning smiled helplessly, it's really hard for a housekeeper!I won't take on such a job in the future, and the money hasn't been spent on her...

Nanny Ning felt aggrieved, and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell Fujin."

"what's up?"

"The fourth elder brother paid some money from the public account, and your jewelry and porcelain are the account that the fourth elder brother took from the official account."

Shuwan: It's over, don't be moved anymore!I thought he was using his own money to make me happy, but it turned out he was using our joint property to make me happy!

Shuwan couldn't take care of the meal, so she grabbed the account book and started to look through it, and she finally found it. In June last year, the fourth elder brother took 3000 taels from the account, and took another 3000 taels two months later.

I took 1000 taels a few days ago, which should be money for making jewelry.

Shuwan supported her forehead and smiled, "Heh, heh, I said the silver is spent so fast! The four elder brothers took 7000 taels of silver!"

Nanny Ning was also shocked. She was usually in charge, but it wasn't her turn to look at the account books, so she could only make a rough estimate. She didn't expect the fourth elder brother to take so much!

Shuwan looked back at the porcelain in the room, and she reached out and pulled out the hibiscus hairpin from her head.

Looking at these porcelains yesterday, they are fresh and elegant, like a stream of ice, which makes people feel comfortable. Looking at them again today, my heart is full of anger!

Shuwan held up the hairpin and smiled at Nanny Ning and the others: "Did you see that, just three hairpins, 1000 taels of silver! Our fourth elder brother must have been cheated! Clean up the guys and follow me to smash their shop !"

Nurse Ning Xia'er and others rushed to stop her, Xia'er said: "Fu Jin calm down, what's going on, you can ask clearly before you talk about it! By the way, Su Peisheng didn't go out with the fourth elder brother today, so the servant called him here."

Su Peisheng arrived soon, and Xia'er reminded him on the way, saying that Fujin was very angry, and told him to be careful.

When Su Peisheng arrived, he respectfully kowtowed to Shuwan.

"Greetings to Fujin, Fujin is safe and healthy."

"I'm not healthy, my brother was cheated, and you are still kept in the dark!"

Shuwan raised the hairpin and said, "I admit, this hairpin is beautiful, but three hairpins cost 1000 taels? Are you crazy? And these porcelains, which kiln did they fire? It costs 6000 taels of silver!"

Su Peisheng said in his heart: This is a long story, but I know it will be difficult for me to get out alive today...Sibeile Lord is also difficult...
