The Forest of Red Mansions

Kangxi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and casually asked fourth master a few questions. It wasn't any other question, just like an ordinary father and son, just concerned about how his son was doing recently, how he was doing in the household department, and There is no difficulty or anything like that.

This concern is indeed sincere. In fact, because of his own experience when he was young, Kangxi still attaches great importance to his sons and has always been committed to being a good father. Although he is partial to the prince, he also cares about other sons I think about it from time to time, especially the group of sons who are at the top of the list.

That is to say, as he got older, he became more suspicious and reluctant to bear power, and the struggle between his sons became more intense, which led to the tension between father and son. At this moment, it has not yet reached that point , actually quite a bit of fatherly kindness and filial piety.

Fourth Master couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, but he didn't show any emotion on his face, and responded to Kangxi's concern one by one with respect and kindness.

After caring about this official matter, he naturally mentioned private matters. Kangxi couldn't help frowning slightly, a little dissatisfied, "If it wasn't for the mention of Concubine De last night, I would have never noticed that you have no one beside you besides Fujin for so long, you err Niang has always been in poor health, so there is nothing wrong with ignoring her, but why is it that your daughter-in-law, as the concubine Fujin, has never done such trivial things well?" The "er Niang" here naturally refers to the imperial concubine.

No need to think about it, the fourth master knew that Concubine De must have given Lin Jinyao eye drops, and his heart became more and more dissatisfied, but he said calmly: "Huang Ama doesn't know something, Fujin asked about it a month after the wedding Erchen's opinion, originally wanted to propose two dowry maids around her to take over the house, but Erchen refused."

"Originally, the picture was clean, so the residence chosen by Erchen was relatively small. Originally, it was fine for Erchen to live alone. After all, there were not many people needed, and it didn't take up too much land. After Fujin married in, it was It's different, we have to increase the manpower, and my Fujin's dowry... Huang Ama also knows, it's not enough to open three rooms for warehouses, now the servants are all crowded into one room, it's really overcrowded , and there will be no more extra rooms.”

Originally, when Kangxi heard him say that he himself rejected it, he was still thinking about what caused him to be "not close to women". Just as he turned his suspicions to Lin Jinyao, when he heard such a reason, his whole body was in a state of panic for a while. I was stunned, and didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Dare to feel that his son is not close to women not because of some other reason, but because the residence is too shabby and he feels aggrieved?

Even the wise and mighty Grand Master Kangxi was stunned for a moment, his expression was really weird.

The fourth master seemed to have never seen it, and continued to say: "Fortunately, the son's mansion is about to be completed, and it doesn't take long to move out. It won't be too late to talk about other things."

Kangxi was silent for a moment, then waved his hands helplessly, "That's all, I'll do as you please."

Although the old man really likes to give concubines to his sons, it is only when he catches up with the draft that he will randomly give some to his sons to show his care and concern for Huang Ama, and of course it is often out of some political intentions.

But generally speaking, he only cares about rewards, and he doesn't ask too much about his son's backyard on weekdays. He is a dignified emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he manages a lot of affairs every day. How can he have the time and energy to care about whether his son has a concubine to sleep with?Both the mother-in-law and the wife Fujin can't make arrangements?

This time, if Concubine De hadn't mentioned that the fourth Fujin's stomach hadn't moved for a long time, and said that the Lin family seemed to have had a difficult time for generations, and that the fourth Fujin was young and "ignorant", and didn't know how to take the initiative to worry about men, lest the fourth child would not be able to hug her. My son...he wouldn't bother with such matters.

The reason for the previous release was that he really hoped that his son would flourish as soon as possible, but more importantly, he wanted to test it out.

It's a good thing that Brother Huang and Fujin have a good relationship, but if it's so good that Brother Huang is being controlled by Fujin, then it's not something he can tolerate, and what he hates the most is being jealous woman.

After listening to Concubine De's words last night, he was a little skeptical, but when he heard the response from the fourth son, he felt that it was not the case. Thinking about the fourth son's temperament, he was the most stubborn, he would rather bend than bend, how could he be easily attracted by a woman? Got it right?

But if you find a chance, you still have to talk to the imperial concubine, and after the fourth son leaves the palace and opens the mansion, he will pick a few people to send it to him. The fourth son is not young, even if he is a bastard, it is better than nothing.

Kangxi thought to himself, he had already labeled Lin Jinyao as a "difficult heir" in his heart, and for a moment he couldn't help but regret pointing her out to the fourth child, but it was too late to regret it at this time, he only thought that if Lin Jinyao really had a hard time giving birth, he would be able to give birth later. It means that a few Manchu aristocrats gave the fourth child the right to be compensation.

Both Guo Luoluo and Concubine De were a little bit reconciled to his own little calculation, but I have to say that Concubine De's skill in applying eye drops is really good, at least it has already made Kangxi feel dissatisfied with Lin Jinyao.

One is the father-in-law and the other is the daughter-in-law. They seldom meet each other on weekdays, so for a while, Lin Jinyao didn't know that the biggest tycoon was dissatisfied with her, and her life was pretty good.

Fourth master was aware of it, but there was nothing he could do about it, unless his wife immediately made a big fat boy.

Speaking of this, fourth master thinks more than his father, but if there is no fate for the time being, what can we do?

The depressed and helpless fourth master had no choice but to secretly write down Guo Luoluo and Concubine De, and disliked these women even more.

……

When I woke up early this morning, the people below came with the latest news, which stunned Lin Jinyao, "What did you say? Eighth brother is going to be a father? Guo Luoluo is pregnant?"

"It's not Bafujin, it's a Gege in Baage's house, it's been two months." Zhihua replied crisply.

Lin Jinyao is still a little dizzy. Although the eighth elder brother also had heirs in history, it shouldn't be at this time, right?

But when she thought about the cruelty of Gongdou and Zhaidou in this era, she also understood a little bit. Being pregnant does not mean that she will be born successfully, and even if she is born, she may not be able to raise her up safely.

Although I feel a bit sorry for the child who is destined not to come to this world, but this thought is fleeting, and she will not let the Holy Mother go to meddle in other people's houses, so the news is just passing through The ears were left behind by her.

Having a child, Yinhu is naturally very happy, looking proud.

But he was happy, but some people were not happy.

Guo Luoluo's face was completely dark, especially when she greeted her sister-in-law with a smile and congratulations in the morning, she was even more annoyed, and the eyes she stared at Lin Jinyao almost flew out of knives.

Why do you think?A few days ago, Lin Jinyao just hated her, saying congratulations to the couple for embracing the big fat boy as soon as possible.

Of course, Guo Luoluo knew that it was ridiculous to blame Lin Jinyao for this matter. If she really wanted to say resentment, she should also resent her man and that concubine even more. It's just that she was going crazy with anger, so she didn't care whether it was ridiculous or not, innocent or not. , she only felt that Lin Jinyao's smile was nakedly laughing at her!

Anyone else can laugh at her, but Lin Jinyao can't!

Thinking that Yinhu had never consummated the house with her so far, Guo Luoluo hated and poisoned Lin Jinyao, wishing to eat her flesh and drink her blood, the sinister look in her eyes was simply creepy.

Lin Jinyao, who was stared at by her like this, hadn't reacted yet, but the imperial concubine above was not happy.

If she dared to bully her daughter-in-law in front of her, she would be dead if she were an imperial concubine!

"Old Bajia."

Guo Luoluo was taken aback for a moment, and came back to his senses.

"This child is Lao Ba's first child. It is of great significance. You must be more careful. You have to take good care of their mother and child on weekdays." Seeing Guo Luoluo's face darken again, the imperial concubine seemed to be in awe. Jue, continued: "Although the child was not born by you, as the eighth son of Fujin, no matter who gave birth to the child, if you have to call you Di'er Niang in the future, you will be considered your child. What's the difference, you must not be petty, you know?"

Guo Luoluo's gorgeous face couldn't help but distort, she just wanted to grab the tea bowl at hand and paste the imperial concubine's face.

Mother-in-law?Who cares!

Is there such a thing as worrying?They are also women, who doesn't know who, which family's concubine is pregnant and a first wife can be happy from the bottom of her heart?The imperial concubine's words were clearly intended to provoke her and humiliate her!He even pointed it out directly to warn her not to do anything to that bastard!This is simply a naked slap in the face!

All the sisters-in-law next to them covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

Guo Luoluo was trembling with anger, but the Queen Mother didn't know whether she was really stupid or fake, as if she never heard the humiliation of the imperial concubine, and she nodded solemnly in agreement after hearing her words.

"The imperial concubine is right. From the old Ba's family, as the Di Fujin, this is all your responsibility. You can't disappoint Lao Ba and us elders."

At this moment, Guo Luoluo was so angry that he could only grit his teeth and said helplessly: "Yes, this concubine remembers the teachings of the empress dowager and imperial concubine."

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, showing a kind smile, "The Ai family knows that Lao Ba's family is also a good one."

The imperial concubine also smiled and said: "Who says it's not, you just wait to hug your great-grandson, Empress."

The Queen Mother looked expectant when she heard the words, "Speaking of which, among the grandchildren of Ai's family, apart from Lao Jiu, Lao Ba is the best born, and his child must also be a very beautiful doll. It would be great if they all look like Lao Ba. .”

The imperial concubine rolled her eyes and said: "The child's appearance depends not only on his father, but also on his mother. Since the emperor's mother is looking forward to it so much, why don't you reward the two most beautiful beauties of the old eighth? Maybe you will be able to grow up in the blue tomorrow." Sheng Yulan gave birth to a great-grandson like a little golden boy for you."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she blinked her eyes, clapped her hands suddenly, and said cheerfully: "Okay, little golden boy, you are still the imperial concubine, you are smart, and when you turn around, Aijia will pick and choose carefully, and I will pick two angels for the old eighth!"

Lin Jinyao, who was watching her from the sidelines, almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

The empress dowager looked dull, but she couldn't have imagined that she could not be more narrow-minded, look at Guo Luoluo's face, tsk tsk tsk, it's green and faint, it's simple.

Concubine Hui watched the imperial concubine and the queen mother sing and hate her nominal daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but feel helpless, and secretly scolded Guo Luoluo for not having the brains to suffer on her own.

Obedient draft is not good?If you have to fiddle around with some moths, it’s alright. Before entering the door, the emperor, queen mother, and imperial concubine were disgusted. I prefer not to be easy to enter the door and be honest with my tail between my legs. At least I will coax the queen mother well. No more tossing about, the yelling made enemies on all sides, like a mad dog biting the old four's family, and she didn't let go. She really pretended to cover herself up well, so no one could see the gloomy and resentful eyes?

idiot!I don't have the ability to be a big fart, but it's quite fun to jump around, and I don't look at whose daughter-in-law it is, is the imperial concubine easy to mess with?If they were really easy to provoke, this crooked imperial concubine would have been pulled down by them long ago!

It's not scary to be stupid, but what's scary is that they are so stupid that they still think they are the smartest people in the world.

Such an unlucky daughter-in-law is simply a scourge, maybe one day she will implicate Lao Ba... Concubine Hui doesn't care much about Lao Ba's cheap son, but Lao Ba has always been close to her own son, the boss , is the legendary "Big Brother Party", it's nothing more than Guo Luoluo's implicating the eighth son, if he accidentally commits a fatal death and implicates her son, it will be bad.

It's just that the old eight is also a helper anyway, it would be a pity if the old eight was kicked because of this unlucky daughter-in-law.

After thinking about it, Concubine Hui was also very entangled. Seeing that Guo Luoluo was getting more and more distasteful, she secretly decided to pay attention. Why don't she teach Guo Luoluo well first, if she can teach it well, that's the best, if not ...

Concubine Hui thought very well, but before she could start to act, Guo Luoluo committed suicide again.

That pregnant Grid had a miscarriage!

Guo Luoluo gave the call!

A slap knocked him down, kicked him a few times, and Ge Ge bled profusely on the spot.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Concubine Hui was so angry that she lost her temper.

I've seen stupid people but never seen such stupid ones. If I really can't tolerate that bastard, at least there are dozens of ways to get rid of her without anyone noticing. Is it worth being so "above and aboveboard"?If you can do this, why don't you go to heaven!

Lin Jinyao was reading a book and drinking tea leisurely at the time. When she first heard the news, she almost choked herself to death, "Did Guo Luoluo really do it? Is she so stupid?"

Fourth Master patted her on the back helplessly, "Be careful."

I only heard Mother Saihan reply: "It is undoubtedly that Fujin did it. In the public, many people saw it, and the eighth elder brother was so angry that he dumped Fujin's two big mouths on the spot, and kicked him." The pain from kicking his heart made Fujin's face turn pale, and he ordered Fujin to contemplate copying the scriptures behind closed doors, and there was no time limit, I'm afraid he will be released when his anger subsides."

Lin Jinyao was dumbfounded when she heard that, although she had expected that Guo Luoluo would definitely not be able to tolerate that child, but she never thought that Guo Luoluo would be so bold, and just do it so carelessly, what is it?

Lin Jinyao always felt that something was wrong, she had not confronted Guo Luoluo once or twice, although Guo Luoluo was not very smart, but he was definitely not such a stupid person, but anyone who is not a fool knows that he should not be so reckless, right?

"Master, what do you think about this..." Feeling that her IQ was not enough, Lin Jinyao couldn't help turning her eyes to her old fox.

The fourth master didn't say a word, he just waved his hands and asked the servants to retreat.

Seeing him like this, Lin Jinyao's eyes lit up immediately, secretly thinking that there really was something inside.

"Master, what's going on here, please tell me carefully, I'm really curious."

Fourth Master smiled but said nothing, and nodded his lips, the meaning was obvious.

Lin Jinyao also lost her integrity, without saying a word, she immediately sat on his lap, put her arms around his neck and kissed him hard, and said charmingly: "My good husband, stop hanging on to me, and tell me."

How can fourth master be satisfied with this?After clasping her waist with a wet kiss, he opened his mouth.

"That Gege is my master's nail."

Lin Jinyao was dumbfounded, "That child..."

"The child is real, but the pregnancy is not stable. Originally, she wanted to wait until three months before revealing the child. It's just that during this period of time, the two waiters in front of Lao Ba were bothered by Guo Luoluo. It's so bad, it takes a long time to kneel and kneel, this child has signs of miscarriage, it just so happens that the master wants to make Guo Luoluo's family suffer, and she also hates Guo Luoluo's family, so she has a plan."

"Today's trouble, it's because she took the initiative to provoke and angered Guo Luoluo. That Guo Luoluo has a violent temper, and he has long been jealous of her. A little trick is enough to anger him."

Lin Jinyao couldn't help sighing, it seems that Guo Luoluo's family is not wronged.

Fourth master sneered and said: "Just wait and see, this matter is not over yet, and she is still in trouble."
