[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

Shuwan rubbed her shoulders and returned home.

At her natal home, her mother-in-law grabbed her by the shoulder and gave her a hammer, wishing she could push her daughter's head into the basin to wash it well.

"7000 taels of silver! Back then, you didn't even spend 7000 taels for your dowry! A set of porcelain and a few hairpins cost the money of a dowry. You are too prodigal!"

Shuwan corrected: "I didn't spend it, it was your uncle's."

"If you don't ask for it, will the fourth elder brother give it to you?" Er Niang sneered, "Oh, men are lazy donkeys, so they twitch and move. You must be acting like a baby and begging for gifts, and the fourth elder brother spends money lavishly!"

Shuwan: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know whether to call for injustice, or complain about Erniang's sharp evaluation of the man.

Shuwan's mother-in-law persuaded her earnestly, wishing to break apart the principles of Qinjia's family management and stuff them into Shuwan's mind.

"Although the fourth elder brother is the prince, he is not the eldest son, and he is not very popular with the emperor. If the emperor values ​​him, you are still living in the palace now! The emperor will not raise you for a lifetime. Live on a budget!

Money is the most careless thing to spend. If there is no calculation, millions of silver are not enough for you to squander!Especially since you have a lot of contacts, you have to give gifts every month throughout December, right?You go back and do the math, the gift money may be more than the food and drink expenses in your mansion!

Besides, you are all Ama and mother-in-law, you can't just be happy for yourself, you have to think about the children!The two little elder brothers are going to marry a wife in the future, and there is another little Gege in your house who is going to marry.

The dowry is easy to say, five or six thousand taels of silver is almost enough.The betrothal gift for the two young elder brothers to marry their daughter-in-law is also easy to say, and a full dozen of 6000 silver is enough.But if you can't help marry a wife, just leave it alone!You gotta leave some money for the kids!When the emperor sent you out of the palace, he returned money to the An family!Do you have the nerve to leave an empty shell mansion for the children? "

Shuwan smiled and said: "Emiang, I understand the truth. I was taught by you. I can be a housekeeper and director! We have already bought a house and land. We spend a lot and earn a lot!"

Shuwan's mother-in-law beat her again, "I'm sick, but I'm still not confused! You just left the palace last year and just bought a field, so you can see the money back this year?"

Shuwan's mother: No one can fool me about money!

Shuwan: "...next year, next year you will see the benefits!"

Shuwan's mother-in-law sighed deeply, holding her forehead, feeling a little dizzy.

"Oh, I'm not in good health, I really can't teach you a lesson, you go back!"

Shuwan said in her heart: Er Niang should have received enough stimulation today. Seeing her swearing and energetic appearance, her mentality has indeed changed, and it seems that she will not be depressed anymore.

Shuwan got up and bent over and said softly to her mother: "You rest first, I will come to see you again some day!"

If you are still depressed, then I will tell you the story of the tiger wearing new clothes.

Shuwan's mother-in-law looked up at her, "I don't come here recently, stay at home!"

She got up to send Shuwan away, then held Shuwan's hand and told her earnestly.

"Son! You can't be a vixen who instigates men to spend money! That's not our family tradition, we can't let the emperor and the fourth elder brother be sorry!"

Shuwan: "...OK, I will pay attention!"

Shuwan's life today is very exciting. When she came here, she was the noble Belle Fujin, and when she came home, she was infamous as a vixen.

In the evening, the fourth elder brother came back and took the initiative to ask about the current situation of his mother-in-law.

"How is your mother-in-law?"

Shuwan first sighed, "The spirit is not bad, but she is too thin."

The fourth elder brother frowned, "What's wrong with my mother-in-law? I'll go and get him a good doctor."

Shuwan lowered her head and thought for a while, "Don't worry, my mother is suffering from heart disease, the main reason is that she is in a bad mood. If you can't dispel the depression in your heart, no matter how many doctors you see or how many soups you drink, it won't help."

Although Er Niang didn't say anything, Shuwan guessed that her bad mood had something to do with her siblings.

Ama is fierce and brave, but doting on her children, the brothers honestly being a rich kid is still okay, in terms of ability, only the fifth brother is not bad.

The sisters-in-law and younger siblings just want to take advantage of it, thinking that Shuwan is now a "princess", so she should give more convenience to her natal family.

When Shuwan went back, her sister-in-law and younger siblings fawned over her.Er Niang is at home every day, so I don't know how they will gossip!

Shuwan sighed, and the fourth elder brother also sighed.

The fourth elder brother thought: Mother-in-law still can't let go of father-in-law!What a loyal and strong woman!

He glanced at Shuwan, she was very similar to her mother-in-law, and she was probably equally loyal.

The fourth elder brother proposed to take his mother-in-law to live for a few days.

"Since we moved out of the palace, my mother-in-law hasn't been to the mansion yet, and I haven't seen my grandson. Why don't we invite my mother-in-law to stay here for a while, and the flowers in the garden will gradually bloom after spring, and my mother-in-law lives next to the garden. The Tingyuxuan is quiet and beautiful."

Shuwan was a little moved, who is not a baby anymore!She also wanted Er Niang to accompany her.but……

"Wait a little longer! Recently, I dare not see my mother, but today I am angry with her!"

The fourth elder brother frowned, and said disapprovingly: "Mother-in-law is not in good health, why are you still angry with her?"

"I'm not angry with her, I'm fighting poison with fire."

Shuwan described what happened today to the fourth elder brother like a storyteller.

"Er Niang is unhappy, as if she doesn't care about anything. I deliberately showed off that you ordered porcelain and jewelry for me, and my Er Niang suddenly changed from a fairy in the sky to a mortal on the ground."

Shuwan put her hips on her hips and scolded people exaggeratedly.

"I raised you up so much and taught you how to be a husband and son. I didn't make you prodigal! You are such a prodigal, how can I be worthy of the emperor, how can I be worthy of Sibeile? You can spend less! The little elder brother in your mansion Ge Ge wants to marry a wife!"

The fourth elder brother touched his nose, he couldn't believe it.

"How can mother-in-law be so fierce?"

Shuwan smiled and said: "My mother-in-law is indeed not fierce, but I exaggerated a little."

There was no one else in the room, so Shuwan tore off her collar all at once.There was a black mark on her white and smooth shoulder.

"Did you see it? Your not-violent mother-in-law beat it!"

The fourth elder brother gasped when he saw Yinzi.

Shuwan said: "My mother-in-law said that I was a prodigal, and she was so angry that she beat me!"

The fourth elder brother felt distressed, and he took the ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis and applied it to Shuwan.

"Mother-in-law is real." The fourth elder brother complained, "I spent money to buy things, why did she hit you!"

"Because Lord Baylor can't be wrong! The only one who is wrong is me. I encouraged Lord Baylor to spend money for me!"

Shuwan stretched the collar a little wider to make it easier for the fourth elder brother to apply the ointment.

"So! I beg Si Bei Le to be more careful when spending money in the future! If you are so extravagant, others will not think that you are wrong, but that I can't manage the house."

The fourth elder brother nodded guiltily, "Got it! Don't talk about spending money anymore!"

The fourth elder brother rubbed his hands to warm up, massaged Shuwan's shoulders, and rubbed the medicine away.

He thought to himself, it is really impossible to invite his mother-in-law over recently, and it will not be too late to invite her after her mother-in-law forgets about it.

The fourth elder brother didn't want to invite his mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law came to the door herself.

Shuwan's mother-in-law wrote to her, hoping to stay in Baylor's residence for a while, and asked Fourth Baylor to agree.

The letter has been received, how can the fourth elder brother have the nerve to refuse?

There was no way, the fourth elder brother asked Shuwan to clean up the yard, and he went to pick up his mother-in-law himself.

Shuwan tidied up Tingyuxuan near the back garden. It is close to the garden, with good air and sunshine, and it is most suitable for elderly people to live in.

The servants cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and the quilts and mattresses inside were all brand new.

The fourth elder brother picked up his mother-in-law, and Shuwan greeted her at the door, and the couple sent the old lady directly to Ting Yuxuan.

The fourth elder brother only talks and laughs in front of Shuwan, and looks reserved and indifferent in front of others, and the same is true in front of his mother-in-law.

He asked his mother-in-law, "Are you satisfied with this place?"

Shuwan's mother-in-law looked around, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you Baylor for your concern, this place is very good! Master Baylor picked it up in person today, and prepared such a nice courtyard for me to live in. I have never done this in my life. Be decent!"

After hearing what my mother-in-law said, the fourth elder brother was very happy.

"Mother-in-law will stay here for a while longer, Shuwan misses you very much, and always misses you!"

"Okay, thank you Lord Baylor for your kindness! With such a good place to live, I'm so happy to leave, even if you drive me away, I don't want to go home!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "Let's stop talking in the yard, it's cold in the spring now! Hurry up and get in the house!"

Shuwan ordered the kitchen to prepare good food and wine, and everyone in the house knew that Fujin's natal old lady had come to the house.

Song Gege and Wu Gege came over to say hello on their own initiative, the old lady was long and the old lady was short, and they called very affectionately.

Seeing how well-behaved Si elder brother's two concubines were, Shuwan's mother was very satisfied.

She secretly praised Shuwan, "I didn't teach you in vain. This skill of controlling concubines is my true teaching."

Shuwan smiled and said: "You are not right, it is clear that I am better than blue than blue! Those aunts at home are not as obedient as the princess in my house!"

"Oh, you're still out of breath when you're praised for being fat! Your ability to control a concubine is only [-] points, and the remaining [-] points is that Si elder brother is willing to give you face. With a husband like Si elder brother, you can be content!"

Shuwan: "..."

Why!The scapegoat of the fourth elder brother is mine, and all the achievements I have made are all his!

Shuwan's mother-in-law lived in the mansion for a few days, and quickly figured out the way things were done in the mansion.

Shuwan has a carefree personality. She loves beauty and children, but she is restrained in spending money.

She still kept the toys that Kang Bao was tired of playing with, and planned to give them to Xiao Bao.

Clothes and jewelry are not changed frequently. New clothes are made every season, but old clothes are not thrown away. Old clothes are exchanged for a match, and they still look good.

In terms of housekeeping, Shuwan has also done a good job, she knows the market prices of various items, and the things in the house are mainly practical, not extravagant.

After inspecting her daughter's work situation, Shuwan's mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction in her heart. She deserves to be the daughter she taught and a good housekeeper.

Then Shuwan's mother-in-law began to investigate the fourth elder brother again.

The fourth elder brother is also a frugal person. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some fans. He also said that these things are useless, and it is really a waste to pay tribute from the south of the Yangtze River.

He loves to write, but he doesn't have any requirements for paper and pens, as long as he can use them smoothly, he doesn't require pens, inks, papers and inkstones to be expensive.

Shuwan's mother-in-law is planning to stay for a few more days before returning home. Her daughter and son-in-law are in perfect harmony, and their small life is prosperous, so she has nothing to worry about.

What Shuwan said to her that day was probably to hope that she would cheer up and to anger her on purpose.

Just when the old lady was about to say goodbye, the fourth elder brother was exposed.

Shuwan's mother-in-law saw Hutou, the clothes on Hutou, and the toys that Hutou was playing with.

Xiao Ningzi took the tiger head for a walk in the garden, and happened to meet Shuwan's mother-in-law.

Xiao Ningzi hurriedly saluted and said hello to the old lady.

The old lady saw that Xiao Ningzi was strange, and he was so sweet, the old lady couldn't help asking him where he served.

"I've never seen the little eunuch!"

Xiao Ningzi hurriedly laughed and said: "Old lady, the slave used to serve in Fujin's yard, and later Fujin gave Lord Baylor a dog, and the servant began to take care of Lord Baylor's dog."

"dog?"

Xiao Ningzi smiled and pointed behind him, "Look over there, isn't that the one behind the stone? Tiger head, tiger head, come here and greet the old lady!"

A fat and strong puppy ran over, and it raised its front paws to bow to Shuwan's mother-in-law.

Shuwan's mother-in-law is getting old, and her eyes are not working well. She squinted her eyes and looked, "This...is this a dog? Why are you still wearing clothes?"

Xiao Ningzi smiled and picked up the dog, "It's wearing clothes! Look, old lady, this is a newly made jacket. It's just right for Hutou to wear this season!"

The old lady reached out to touch the fabric. This soft and smooth fabric...was better than the material she used to make shoes.

"Oh, what a bother!" said the old lady sarcastically.

Xiao Ningzi didn't hear the old lady's mocking tone, so he introduced it to the old lady happily.

"This is imported material, you can't buy it anywhere else. Take a look at the workmanship, this stitch, it's made by the palace lady next to Fujin!"

Shuwan's mother: "...in this world, dogs live better than people."

Xiao Ningzi smiled heartlessly, "Hey, dogs from other places are naturally not good, but this is Lord Baylor's dog! Of course it is expensive!"

Shuwan's mother-in-law smiled, "That's right! It's a dog's power!"

After speaking, the old lady left.

Xiao Ningzi: "..." The last sentence didn't sound very pleasant. Did he talk too much?

Knowing the status of Hutou, the old lady seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

She inquired about porcelain and hairpins again, but Qiuxiang and Bingxiang didn't hide it from her, and they said everything.

The old lady felt depressed and beat her chest.She couldn't beat the fourth elder brother, she could only beat herself.

She thought the fourth elder brother was a good husband, but in reality he hit her hard.

well!No one is perfect!

The fourth elder brother is not simple, he is extravagant and not obvious!

Shuwan's mother-in-law began to vaguely remind Si elder brother of the principle of frugality.

When eating, the old lady said: "Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work. Many ordinary people can't eat, and if they are hungry, they will be full. We eat chicken, duck and fish. We should be lucky."

The fourth elder brother agreed casually, "Mother-in-law is right."

"So whether you keep pets or order things, you have to be measured, and don't waste on these things."

Fourth elder brother: "..." The words had something to say, as if they were talking about me.

While drinking tea, Shuwan's mother-in-law spoke again.

"Drinking tea is just a pastime. It's better to drink plain water. If you drink too much tea, you will easily get sleepy. Whether you are eating or drinking tea and drinking, you must be in moderation, and you can't go beyond that limit. The same is true for raising dogs. Dogs have rich fur , Wearing clothes, the dog's own ability to resist cold will fade, which may not be a good thing for the dog."

Fourth elder brother: "..." It seems to be talking about me again.

Shuwan held the teacup with a smile and said nothing, she just watched how the fourth elder brother dealt with his elderly mother-in-law.

Of course the fourth elder brother has a way to deal with his mother-in-law, he sent his own daughter-in-law to stand up for him.

Shuwan refused, "My mother-in-law is not talking about me, why should I persuade her?"

Fourth elder brother: "You are her own daughter, mother and daughter are easier to talk to!"

Shuwan tore off her collar, exposing her shoulders.

"You still want my mother-in-law to hit me!"

The fourth elder brother felt guilty: "I didn't..."

After all, it's the mother-in-law and the elder, so it's hard for him to handle it!

Shuwan smiled and said: "Who the hell wants to invite your mother-in-law to stay at home, and now you dislike her mother-in-law and take care of you?"

The fourth elder brother hugged Shuwan: "I am your husband, won't you help me?"

"What's the benefit of helping you?" Shuwan asked.

The fourth elder brother said shamelessly: "I will work harder on the bed."

"Bah! What a shame! Who wants this benefit? I'm not that kind of dishonest person!"

The fourth elder brother smiled, "Okay, okay, Fujin is a decent person, but I am not serious, you should quickly think of a way! I am lost!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "I can't help in vain, you have to hand over some of your private money! Just pay... 5000 taels!"

"Hey! Please make a move that is expensive enough!"

Shuwan said proudly: "You can also drive your mother-in-law home by yourself! I don't need to earn the 5000 taels of silver!"

The mother-in-law was beating around the bush with a loving face, and the fourth elder brother didn't want to confront her head-on.

She is an elder, but not her own mother, so she can't get angry.

The fourth elder brother made a deal with Shuwan for 5000 taels, and the next day Shuwan went directly to her mother-in-law.

"Have you lived enough for a short stay? When will you go home!"

The old lady scolded: "It's a waste of raising you, I've only been here for a few days and I'm going to be kicked out!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "It's not that I want to chase you away, it's that you are too nosy. You talk about dogs every day, and about customizing porcelain. Fourth elder brother is afraid of you."

The old lady complained: "Is it my fault? Brother Si is too good at spending money!"

What a money-scattering boy!Fortunately, he has a good reputation outside, I don't know how he has been hiding it all these years!

Shuwan smiled and said: "Si elder brother is a bit serious, he either doesn't do it, or he does his best. This is true for doing things, and the same is true for things he likes. He likes dogs, so give the dog the best. He likes me. Then give me the best."

The old lady's teeth were sore, "I'm so shameless! In broad daylight, you just talk about what you like! You're worthless, put yourself and the dog in the same position!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "As long as he is willing to treat me well, what about being in the same position as a dog? How many dudes like antique jade, even more than their own wives and children, Si elder brother is very good like this!"

Everyone in the world is different, some like gold and silver, some like power, and some can't see through love and hate.

Everyone has something they like, and it's understandable that Brother Si only has this little hobby.

The old lady sighed, "Forget it, you live your life, what am I involved in? But I still have to advise you, men can't be too used to it, and men shouldn't have too much money in their hands. You have to take care of it. Otherwise, Si Brother is used to flowers, the more you spend, the more you spend, in the future you will not be able to control it any more!"

Shuwan thought: "His private money is used for other things, how should I manage it?"

But she still assured her mother: "Don't worry! I will take care of the fourth elder brother! Besides, with your gentle reminder these two days, he will pay attention to spending money in the future!"

Shuwan's mother-in-law lived for a few more days and then went home. The mother-in-law left, and the fourth elder brother was greatly relieved.

Finally, I don't have to listen to my mother-in-law's gentle nagging.

The fourth elder brother is in a good mood and is ready to do errands.

A few days later, the emperor summoned all the princes, and the fourth elder brother entered the palace excitedly. At night, he returned home with a gloomy face.

Seeing that his complexion was not good, the servants were too frightened to speak loudly.

Xia Er and the others waited on the fourth elder brother to wash up and ran away, leaving Fujin to calm the fourth elder brother's anger.

Shuwan laughed and said, "What's the matter? Who got angry with my elder brother? Let me, a shrew, avenge you!"

The fourth elder brother was sullen in his heart, and couldn't help laughing when he heard Shuwan's words.

"The emperor is angry with me, you go to the palace to find him!"

Shuwan: "Oh, so it's the emperor! Then...forget it!"

Brother Si: "Aren't you going to avenge me? Why, are you afraid?"

Shuwan quibbled: "I'm not afraid! I'm thinking of you, it's your Ama, I beat him, how much you feel sorry for him! Right?"

The fourth elder brother covered her mouth with his hand, "Shut up quickly! People will hear that our husband and wife are rebellious!"

Shuwan stood behind the fourth elder brother and kneaded his shoulders, "What's the matter? Tell me, and I'll untie you."

The fourth elder brother said angrily: "Today, Huang Ama tested our writing skills and martial arts. I was okay in the writing test, but my martial arts... hmph, Huang Ama gave me a scolding in front of all the brothers."

The fourth elder brother has some otaku attributes, he doesn't like to go out, and he doesn't like to ride horses and hunt.Being scolded by the emperor was already in a bad mood, but being scolded in front of his brothers, losing face was even more unbearable for him.

Shuwan persuaded: "Hey! You are already very good at literature, so you don't need martial arts! You can't take all the benefits by yourself! Besides, the family has to cooperate with each other. If you are well-educated, I will Martial arts are good, this is the perfect match!"

The fourth elder brother laughed and said, "It's all nonsense!"

The fourth elder brother sighed, he still didn't say a word, his younger brothers were younger than him, but they were better at riding and shooting than him, which made him very embarrassed.

He didn't intend to let Shuwan know about it either, he didn't want Shuwan to know his imperfect side.

"Right now, you should realize your shame and be brave. Take the time to practice martial arts, and get back your face next time! Starting tomorrow, I will go to the martial arts field with you."

Shuwan leaned on his shoulder and said: "I have a good way to exercise, without going to the martial arts arena, why don't you give it a try!"
