[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

Both Shuwan and Qifujin laughed, and Qifujin said with a smile: "Sister-in-law likes to be taken advantage of, and I like it too, but how can there be so many people in the world?"

Wu Fujin smiled shyly, "I'm just talking casually! What I mean is, if Sisao wants to start a business, I will definitely support it!"

Although the fifth elder brother didn't like Wu Fujin, he had never treated Wu Fujin harshly materially, and the housekeeper power in the family had always been in Wu Fujin's hands.

After being married for so many years, Wu Fujin has never used her dowry, and she can be considered a moderately rich woman.

Wu Fujin said: "My money is still relatively loose, and I can still get 800 taels of silver. I don't worry about doing business with others, but I don't worry about doing business with my sister-in-law."

Shuwan was just on the spur of the moment, she didn't expect Wu Fujin to cheer her on like this.

She held Wu Fujin's hand, "Thanks to your attention, I'll think about doing business when I get back, and I'll come to you to discuss the details after I make a charter."

Qi Fujin said: "Then... count me in, I don't want to make a lot of money, let's do a small business together, let's treat it as a pastime!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "It would be better if the seventh siblings joined! It's just that the seventh siblings have to change their thinking, we need to make a lot of money in business. Let's open a small business first, then expand our presence to make a big business, and finally All the business in the capital is ours, and in the end, the business is spread all over the country, and we have more money than those salt merchants!"

This is just Shuwan's joke, Qifujin said with a smile: "When we get rich, we will be like rich people in history, we don't need firewood for cooking, we use candles."

Shuwan waved her hand, "Hey, candles are not rare now. Let's cook with silk and satin. We can eat [-] dishes in one meal and burn hundreds of silks and satins!"

Wu Fujin laughed at the two of them, "Business is still a thing of the past! You discuss things that are harmful to you, and talk about it as if it were true. Fortunately, there is a sound of gongs and drums on the stage, which will make people listen. I Ashamed of you all."

Shuwan took Wu Fujin's hand and said with a smile: "It's amazing! The seventh sibling doesn't know. Before, the fifth sibling was a lady and hardly talked much. Now I'm speechless after saying this one sentence at a time!"

Wu Fujin said: "It's thanks to Sisao's good teaching. Following Sisao, I also learned to speak!"

Shuwan nodded in relief, "He is really my good disciple, but don't be complacent, if we are laughed at, you will definitely be dragged into the water."

The three chatted happily, the play on the stage was over, and Wu Fujin ordered someone to give a reward.

The theater troupe came out to kowtow and say auspicious words, then left the stage to change their clothes, preparing for the next play, and the guests who came to the banquet took advantage of this time to change their clothes.

Sanfujin and Bafujin also came over to talk.

Ba Fujin laughed and said, "What are the sisters-in-law talking about? It's so lively!"

After experiencing the incident of framing several Fujins, Shuwan and the others only maintained a superficial friendship with Ba Fujin, and they hardly dealt with each other at ordinary times.

Sanfujin didn't know the details, but the relationship with Bafujin was pretty good.

The smile on Wu Fujin's face became distant and polite, "It's nothing to talk about, it's just some gossip about life."

Sanfujin curled his lips, "The fifth sibling is boring like this! Gossip about life can make you happy like this? We are all sisters and sisters. If you have something to say to the fourth and seventh siblings, why can't you tell me and the eighth sibling?" listen?"

Ba Fujin looked a little disappointed, and she pressed San Fujin's arm.

"Sister-in-law three, the sister-in-laws have a good relationship, and they talk about themselves, so let's not inquire about it."

Ba Fujin took the initiative to change the topic, "Today's play is very good, Fifth Sister-in-Law really has a good eye, and she is very good at choosing the cast."

Wu Fujin felt uncomfortable seeing Sanfujin and Bafujin's behavior.

The relationship between people is that there are relatives and estrangements, so why should she tell them the personal things between her and her friends?

Sanfujin loves to bully her, Bafujin is hypocritical, she just doesn't like to get along with them, so what's wrong?She lived her little life quietly without disturbing them!

The smile on Qifujin's face also faded, she was the same as Wufujin.The master in the family is not up to the mark, can't please the emperor, and his talent is not outstanding, and he doesn't try his best to fight for it. They are Fujin who can't hold their heads up in front of their sisters-in-law.

Shuwan smiled and said: "My eighth sibling and I really have a good understanding. I was also asking about this troupe just now! The play is good, and the singing and figure are also good. Just now, the seventh sibling also praised it!"

Qi Fujin echoed: "Yes! We were talking about this just now! I don't have a good memory, and I asked my servants to help me remember the name of this troupe. After a few days, I will invite this troupe to serve wine at my house."

Shuwan smiled and teased Sanfujin, "Sister-in-law San is getting better and better at asking questions now, and you have to ask if we're talking about a troupe!"

Sanfujin was not annoyed either, "Hi! That's just my temper!"

The atmosphere eased, and San Fujin asked Ba Fujin, "I heard that the emperor tested the knowledge of the princes a few days ago, and the eighth elder brother was praised by the emperor!"

Ba Fujin lowered her head and smiled, she said a few words modestly. "It's also a fluke. The elder brothers didn't perform well that day. The eighth elder brother lived in the palace, and the masters were strict. The comparison of the two contrasts the eighth elder brother. If the brothers give their best, the eighth elder brother Can't get out of it either."

Sanfujin said: "Hey, persistence is the most important thing! Our father has to study and practice martial arts every day no matter how busy he is, so he didn't get scolded this time! Eighth brother can persist all the time, he should be praised!"

Bafujin smiled, then glanced at Shuwan.

Shuwan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, she squeezed a piece of snack and took two bites.

She raised her orchid finger, held a snack and asked Wu Fujin.

"Is this snack mixed with lotus flowers?"

Wu Fujin glanced at the dim sum, and said blankly, "No! This is stuffed with rose bean paste, and there are no lotus flowers in it!"

Sanfujin laughed and said, "What's wrong with the fourth sibling? You can't even eat dim sum, how can lotus be used as stuffing? Besides, how can there be lotus in this season!"

Shuwan put down the snack and covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh, thank you, sister-in-law, for explaining the confusion. Maybe there is something wrong with my mouth. Eating this snack smells like white lotus flowers."

Shuwan threw the half-eaten dim sum on the plate, as if losing her appetite.

Although everyone didn't understand the meaning of the white lotus, they all noticed Shuwan's yin and yang aura.

After the banquet, the fourth elder brother and Shuwan went home in a carriage together.In the car, the couple sat side by side, Si elder brother closed his eyes and rested his mind, Shuwan looked at his figure.

The clothes are too big to reveal the true inner nature, so Shuwan took a look at it and touched it with her hands.

My stomach is still a little soft, and I don't know when the disappearing abdominal muscles will reappear.

The fourth elder brother held Shuwan's hand, and he closed his eyes and said, "Don't make trouble, we'll talk about it when we get home!"

Shuwan said angrily: "I can't wait to go home, I'm going to say it now! Today Bafujin deliberately flaunted in front of me that the eighth elder brother won the emperor's praise. What's so great about her, she didn't get the praise!"

Shuwan pinched the fourth elder brother's soft belly, "Go back and double the time to practice martial arts. I will accompany you to practice riding and archery. Next time, I must find the place again!"

The fourth elder brother opened his eyes and let out an impatient 'tsk'.

Why is the eighth daughter-in-law so annoying!This matter is over, what is she going to do again!

Shuwan first knew that when he was reprimanded, she didn't care at all, but now it's all right, the old eighth wife provoked her, and now she has to extend the time of martial arts training!

The fourth elder brother sighed, "Why can't the eighth son take care of his wife?"

Shuwan curled her lips, "A man! Who is not lustful! Among other things, Bafujin looks pretty good, delicate and bright."

The fourth elder brother: "It's unreasonable, I don't want to be lecherous!"

Shuwan rolled her big eyes, yes!You ain't horny, hello cosplay!

Shuwan thought: If I didn't know how to dress up and be smart, there would be a lot of concubines and daughters in the mansion.

Back at the mansion, Shuwan and the fourth elder brother changed into homely clothes.Nanny Ning brought them hangover soup, and Shuwan asked Qiuxiang to grind the ink, she wanted to write.

Drinking is unavoidable when going out to a banquet. The women's family is okay, usually low-alcohol alcohol, and if the relationship is not close, they will not persuade them to drink too much.

The fourth elder brother was a bit overwhelmed in the front. There were too many people toasting, some people could just touch their lips, and some people had high positions and powers, so they had to give some face.

Shuwan didn't drink the hangover soup, and the fourth elder brother drank both bowls of hangover soup.

His head was heavy and he couldn't help rubbing his forehead.

"It's really rare today, Sifujin has also started to work hard? He actually picked up a pen and paper."

While watching a play today, Shuwan suddenly had some inspiration for doing business. She was afraid that she would forget about it tomorrow, so she hurriedly wrote it down when she got home.

Shuwan bowed her head and wrote without speaking, and the fourth elder brother stood up and staggered to read what she wrote.

"Business plan?" Brother Si frowned, "What is this?"

Shuwan pushed him, "Go ahead, you are blocking my light. I plan to start a small business with my fifth and seventh siblings. I will first write down my thoughts and make an appointment with my fifth sibling in a few days. The seventh siblings discuss and discuss."

Shuwan wrote silently, and the fourth elder brother stood beside her to watch.

After watching for a while, Brother Si laughed, and Shuwan looked at him angrily.

"What are you laughing at? Did you do the push-ups? Did you punch? Did you shoot the arrow? Hurry up and do something!"

The fourth elder brother picked up her paper with a smile, "You can't do it at all! Look at the products you listed, lip gloss is one tael a box, face cream is two taels a jar, it's too expensive!"

"What do you know? I'm taking the high-end route, specially designed to cheat rich people... Uh, it's specially customized for high-end people! I don't cheat poor people's money!"

The fourth elder brother nodded, "Good ambition! Good hearted, with a mind that cares about the country and the people. But the daughter of a wealthy family is only a few taels of silver a month, do you know?

I have heard my nurse brother say that his monthly income of five taels of silver is not enough to spend at all.A young master who goes out for a walk is only five taels of silver a month, and a rich lady who lives at home and does not need to go out to socialize is even less. "

Shuwan was also very distressed, "But...my cost is high! Lip gloss can be sold cheaper, but face cream is not good! It takes a lot of precious medicinal materials to make that!"

The fourth elder brother threw the paper on the table, "Don't worry about it, there is no shortage of your food and flowers at home, why bother to do business?

Your things are expensive and expensive, and no one will buy them except those who want to curry favor with you.A lady from a rich family is estimated to only have one or two taels of silver a month. Could it be that they are all used to buy rouge?The money is all spent, what can she reward her servants with?

I have seen your process of making rouge powder. It is steamed and boiled. The process is extremely cumbersome. How many people do you have to hire to make rouge for you?If you hire too few, you will be too busy, and if you hire too many, the cost will increase.

There are also various materials, so many good medicinal materials, how much does it cost?Where do you collect it?

Medicinal materials are easy to talk about, but the most troublesome thing is the flowers needed to make rouge.The flowers bloom and fall according to the seasons. When the flowers are all gone and there is no flower you want, what do you use to make rouge?The guest wants this kind of rouge, but you can't get it, what should you do?

The time limit for your rouge and lip gloss is too short, and it will be moldy in a short time. If you sell it, it will not be used after a few days at home, and your signboard will be smashed.If the item gets moldy before it's sold, aren't you paying for nothing? "

The fourth elder brother talked a lot, which made Shuwan's head go crazy.

"Ah... please stop talking, it's so troublesome!" Shuwan pulled her hair in pain!

The fourth elder brother smiled and pinched the back of Shuwan's neck, "Okay, don't embarrass yourself, I'm tired, I'm going to bed, you go to bed early too!"

Just writing, ink accidentally stained Shuwan's wrist, and now the ink has dried.

Shuwan rubbed her wrists, and sure enough, the world opened the door for her to hate people, and then closed the window for doing business.

She admits that she has no business acumen, and it seems that she can only rely on her fourth elder brother to make a fortune.

A few days later, Qifujin posted a post to invite everyone to a banquet.

Wu Fujin also asked about doing business.

Shuwan smiled awkwardly, "I wrote my own business plan when I went back home, but my Lord Belle laughed at me all the time. He said that I was big-eyed and empty-minded, and the plan I wrote would not work at all. I am not a person with perseverance, he said Once I got through it, I didn’t bother to think about it.”

Qi Fujin smiled and drank tea, she also felt that Shuwan's idea of ​​doing business would not work, only Wu Fujin, and she didn't know why she admired Si Fujin so much, she felt that she was omnipotent.

Wu Fujin persuaded: "Sister-in-law four, don't be discouraged, it's just for fun, now this idea of ​​opening a store doesn't work, we can think of other things. There is always something suitable for us."

Seven Fujin just laughed and didn't agree.

Shuwan sighed, "Oh, let's talk! Check back later! This year is the Empress Dowager's 60th birthday, and in half a year, it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday. It's time for us to prepare a birthday gift."

Wu Fujin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this is an important matter, and it cannot be ignored! I am worrying now! The queen mother is celebrating her birthday, what should we give?"

Qi Fujin said: "This... What to give in previous years, just a few layers thicker this year will do."

Wu Fujin shook his head, "I heard that the emperor is going to hold a big event, we should do our best as juniors!"

Qi Fujin hurriedly thanked Wu Fujin, "Thank you Sisao and Wusao for reminding me, if you don't tell me, I don't know yet!"

Seventh elder brother's biological mother was really unfavorable, she didn't live in the east and west six palaces, she hardly saw the emperor, and the news was not very well informed.

When it comes to gift giving, everyone is worried.

"Giving gold, silver and jewelry seems insincere. The queen mother has everything she needs. If you give gold, silver and jewelry, the silver is not less, and the queen mother may not like it!" what do you like?"

Wufujin and Qifujin looked at Shuwan together, and Shuwan waved her hands repeatedly.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either." Shuwan quickly clarified, "Although the Queen Mother likes me, I seldom get close to the Queen Mother, you all know that."

Seven Fujin looked at Wu Fujin again, "Fifth Elder Brother was raised by the Empress Dowager, does Fifth Sister-in-law know any inside information?"

Wu Fujin waved his hands again and again, "The queen mother is indifferent to me, and I don't know what the queen mother likes. Our master is careless. I asked twice, and he said that the queen mother likes things from Mongolia! After all, Horqin is my hometown! Listen to me What he said, I also know that the Queen Mother is from Horqin, and Horqin has a lot of things, what can I give?"

The three of them sighed together.

At another table, Sanfujin and Bafujin got together to talk.

Qi Fujin took a look and turned his head, "Look at the two sisters-in-law, they chatted back and forth. Among other things, Ba Fujin really has winks and will please people. The queen mother was indifferent to her before, but now the queen mother Her attitude towards her has softened a lot. This time the Queen Mother celebrates her birthday, she must have worked hard to get the Queen Mother to praise her."

Qifujin glanced at Shuwan, she thought Shuwan was stupid enough.Since she could win the Queen Mother's favor, she should seize the opportunity and perform well. She missed the opportunity in vain.

Qifujin sighed, she didn't have Qiqiaoling's heart, otherwise she would have coaxed the queen mother into submission.

Shuwan didn't know about Qifujin's slander, so she said carelessly: "Oh, it's hard to give gifts! But with the eighth younger siblings leading the charge, we just need to prepare well. Anyway, it's always someone else who shines, so we don't have to pick any mistakes when giving gifts." .”

Wu Fujin smiled and echoed, "Sister-in-law Si is right! Let's just make no mistakes!"

Seven Fujin: "..."

Seven Fujin is very helpless, why are her allies so unmotivated?

Shuwan and the others were discussing the Queen Mother's birthday gift, and the elder brothers in front were also talking about it.

The eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother gathered together to mutter.

"Brother, do you have any ideas?"

"Not yet, I'm still discussing with Fujin."

Brother Nine took a look at Brother Eight. Brother Eight is good at everything, but he listens too much to his wife.

Sister-in-law Ba is indeed a little clever, but she doesn't have to listen to a woman in everything!

Brother Nine couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law Eight is a back house woman, what can she know!"

Elder Brother Ten also said, "That's right! Mynah, don't listen to my eighth sister-in-law all the time!"

Brother Eight: "..." Brothers really don't give face...

He smiled and said, "You haven't married yet, husband and wife must live in harmony. Of course, things must be negotiated and negotiated, and you can't act arbitrarily."

Brother Nine was too lazy to listen to these great principles, so he waved his hand.

"Brother, don't tell me this, we are still bachelors! It's not too late to talk about it after we marry a wife! Let's talk about giving gifts. We are easy to talk about. We are still young and have no family. Write a birthday character by yourself, or You can fool yourself by drawing a picture or punching a set of punches. You have already married, so you have to think about it!"

Elder Brother Shi echoed, "Yes! Last time, Huang Ama lost her title without knowing what kind of temper she had lost. This time, the Empress Dowager celebrates her birthday. If you grab the first prize, Huang Ama may see that you are filial. You have regained your title!"

Eighth Brother smiled wryly in his heart, how could it be so easy?The deprivation of the title was related to Ba Fujin, and he never dared to tell Lao Jiu and Lao Shi.They already had opinions on Fujin, and he was afraid that if he talked about it, the old nine and ten would look down on Fujin even more.

After all, he and Bafujin are husband and wife, and they are tied together.He can only tolerate and influence Fujin as much as possible, and cannot leave Fujin alone.

Furthermore, Prince An's Mansion is a help to him, and he can't lose this help.

The eighth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother is a practical person, serious in doing things, and good to Fujin.

It's a pity that after her Fujin Ama passed away, for the fourth brother, he no longer has the help of Fujin's natal family.No matter how capable you are, you are alone, and it will be difficult to develop in the future.

The eighth elder brother thought that these things happened in a flash, he said to the two younger brothers with a smile.

"Thank you for taking the time to think about me. I will think about it carefully. Even if I can't restore my title because of the birthday gift, I will do my best in the future and try to do a few things for the emperor to see."

Elder Brother Ten said: "Brother, what can we say to thank you brothers! Lao Jiu and I are ignorant, if we were not born in the royal family, we would be bastards if we grew up outside the palace. If you are successful, we will follow suit. "

Brother Nine patted Brother Ten for a while, "Who is a gangster! You are born with gold! Do you think everyone is worthless like you!"

Elder Brother Ten was unceremonious, "You are precious? You just want to imitate mynah and want to imitate his gentleness, but you can't! Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, you know that!"

Brother Nine was so angry that he grabbed a piece of snack and threw it on Brother Ten, "If you don't know how to talk, just shut up!"

Elder Brother Ten: "Look, look, one sentence will reveal your true colors!"'

The tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were fighting not far away, while the eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother sat together and concentrated on watching the play.

The elder brother said: "I heard that you love Fujin very much."

The fourth elder brother was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the eldest elder brother said this.

"Big brother..."

The eldest elder brother sighed: "It's okay, I just said it casually. It's a good thing to hurt a wife, and there's nothing to be ashamed to admit. I just sigh, when your sister-in-law was around, I was still too stupid to care about your sister-in-law. Now... People are gone, and it is too late for me to regret.”

The fourth elder brother was in a complicated mood, "Why did the eldest brother suddenly think of saying this?"

The elder brother looked at the stage with empty eyes, "Huang Ama told me about the continuation of the strings, I'll express my feelings for a while!"

The fourth elder brother can't comfort others, "Brother, don't think too much, life will always go on."

The eldest elder brother said: "Yes! Life is going to go on... You should take good care of your wife! Let your daughter-in-law take good care of her body. Now I understand that nothing is as important as your body. Huang Ama asked me to continue, but I declined. Well, let's talk about it in a few years!

My eldest Gege is also growing up slowly, and now she can do housework. I don't want to marry her a stepmother, and I don't want to make things difficult for her. "
