Chapter 029 The Beginning of the Southern Tour

The third day of October is the Empress Dowager’s birthday. Wanning got up early in the morning. After taking a bath, she was served by Amber Thrush and changed into the crown dress of Fujin. Her waist-length black hair was tied into a firm bun, and she wore emerald pearls. After applying some powder and daisy, he went out with Guo Luoluo.She is a side Fujin, so naturally it is impossible to ride in the same car with Guo Luoluo, and Guo Luoluo probably does not want to get along with her, so they simply divided two carriages, with Guo Luoluo in front and Wanning in the back, swaying Shakingly went to the palace.

Little Gege was only a few months old, and he didn't bring him into the palace this time.Wan Ning flicked the sapphire bracelet decorated with auspicious clouds on her wrist, closed her eyes and thought for a while.Although my father is still in charge of the fourth-grade ceremony, everyone with a discerning eye knows that he will be promoted outside next spring. Recently, many people have come to make friends. I heard that the family has sold many slaves, and some people think they are considerate Send three or five beauties, just say to father and Heng'er.It seems that not only the father, but also Heng'er had them keep an eye on him.

"Master, let's eat a piece of white sugar cake to cushion your stomach first." Amber opened the food box and took out the pastry, "It's still a long time before the noon meal, and Fujin asked the master to go out early in the morning again, and he didn't even eat a little bit of food , I’m sure I won’t be able to survive this way. Thrush is also smart, and put some snacks and tea in the carriage, and the master has to put some in.”

This white sugar cake was sweet but not greasy, Wan Ning ate two pieces and stopped eating after drinking a cup of tea.She took the handkerchief from Hu Po and wiped her lips, and said, "Put it away."

"Master doesn't like to eat these days, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come over and have a look?" Hu Po persuaded her twice, seeing that Wan Ning was determined not to eat any more, she had no choice but to put away the food.

"I have always had a bad appetite in autumn, and it's not a big deal." Wan Ning smiled lightly, "It's been a long time since I greeted you, and I don't know if her cough has recurred." Guo Luoluo usually enters the palace Please An never takes her lightly, even if she is a side Fujin, there will always be times when she is unsatisfactory.

"The nobleman must also be concerned about the master and Xiao Gege. When we arrive at Zhongcui Palace, the master asks the concubine Hui for permission, and then he can visit the nobleman in the side hall." Hu Po also knew that although Fujin could not publicly suppress his master, he could Showing his prestige everywhere, he would never ask his master to follow him when he enters the palace on weekdays. If Mr. Wei hadn't spoken twice to Concubine Hui, it is estimated that this time the Queen Mother's birthday Fujin also planned not to bring his master.

Wan Ning nodded slightly, closing her eyes to recharge her energy.

When she came to Zhongcui Palace, Wan Ning knew that Guo Luoluo didn't want her to show off, so she simply acted as a beautiful background board, and sat at the bottom with her elder brother, side Fujin Wu Yashi, watching her nose, nose and heart , silently holding a teacup to drink tea.Da Fujin's body seemed to be getting worse, his complexion was dark yellow and his bones were bristling, unable to support the style of the county king Fujin's auspicious clothes, and he was more low-key than Guo Luoluo's.But now she has four daughters and one son, Dafu Jin loves her and values ​​her, life is much easier than Guo Luoluo's.

Not long after, a familiar face came in and whispered something in Concubine Hui's ear.Concubine Hui nodded, and then said: "Fan Fujin from Laoba's family, let's go with Li Madam."

This Nanny Li was the one Concubine Hui sent to serve Wanning when she was raising her baby.Wan Ning stood up and saluted before turning around and going out.I don't know if it was her illusion, but when she went out, she glanced at Guo Luoluo, only to see that she was looking at her with a sarcastic and sneering gaze, as if she was looking at a defeated opponent.

"I haven't seen Mammy for a while, how is Mammy?" Wan Ning asked casually as she walked slowly.

"I'm sorry for you, Fujin. Everything is fine, slave." Nanny Li didn't dare to walk in front of Wan Ning casually, falling behind by half of her body, neither close nor distant.After receiving the purse that Hu Po handed over, she squeezed it twice and laughed even more happily, "Your Majesty Wei has been waiting in the side hall early in the morning, so let's hurry up and talk to the nobleman."

"Thank you ma'am for sending the message."

After sending Nanny Li back, Wan Ning tidied up the Long Hua on her neck before stepping into the side hall.We saw nobleman Wei wearing a bright pink satin cloak embroidered with peonies and roses, and two silver hairpins inlaid with dark red agate and flat flowers in a bun on his hair.Looking to the side, Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat. There was a screen standing there, the embroidery was in dilapidated condition, as if dozens of holes had been pierced by someone with scissors, it looked like a huanghuali that she had been making for a long time. Wooden pine crane Yannian screen.

"You're here." Wei Guiren's eyes were cold, seeing Wan Ning's astonishment, he sighed slightly, "Sit down."

"Your Honor..." Wan Ning wanted to ask, but she didn't know what to say, she just stared blankly at the screen, and after a while, she lowered her head and bit her lower lip tightly.

"I know that you specially made this screen to celebrate the queen mother's birthday, but it has become like this now. Fortunately, the gift has not been handed in, otherwise, both you and Yinhu will be implicated." Wei Guiren sighed Tone, "I thought she had become better, but I didn't expect her to be as brainless as ever. The birthday gift is to be carried out by family tonight. If the emperor sees her, Yinhu's errand will be gone."

Wan Ning heard the meaning of Wei Guiren's words, opened her mouth and said, "It's Fujin?"

"Who else but her?" Wei Guiren took a silver spoon and put a spoonful of sandalwood into the incense burner, "Feng Shun next to Yinhu is also very big-hearted, and he will go to Guo Luoluo to go with her all the way to the dark , it seems that I can't stay."

Wan Ning didn't know what method Wei Gui used to replace the screen, and she wished that Guo Luoluo's family would be delayed.It doesn't matter if she suffers, if Yinhu is implicated, wouldn't it cause a catastrophe?But now that the congratulatory gift has been cut off, the gift list has been handed in, and it is impossible to make another screen for a while.Guo Luoluo's stinking move is actually going to cost the lives of the family of Babeile Mansion!

"Don't worry." Wei Gui comforted with a smile, "Since I can scoop out this screen, I can naturally put it back."

Wan Ning didn't know, so she was sent out by Wei Guiren. She felt uneasy and had to pretend to be calm, but her frowning eyebrows never loosened.

During the birthday party that night, Wan Ning's heart was hanging in her throat until the eunuch came out to sing the congratulations, she could only feel her heart pounding, this was the most nervous moment in her two lives.The congratulatory gift from the prince, the big brother's congratulatory gift...it was not until I saw the undamaged huanghuali Songhe Yannian screen being lifted out that my heart returned to its original position.She pinched the handkerchief to cover her mouth and gasped for breath, looking at the somewhat distraught face of Guo Luoluo at the table in front of her, she suddenly felt happy.

Guo Luoluo, let's wait and see!

Not long after the Queen Mother's birthday, news spread that Bafujin accidentally fell ill due to the wind and cold. An Jun Wang Fujin Ma Jiashi intended to visit but was "dissuaded" by people sent by Yinhu, who only said that the disease was dangerous and that he was afraid of contagion. To Ma Jiashi, he politely invited Ma Jiashi out.Within a few days, news spread that Zizhu, who was serving beside the Fujin, and the leader, the eunuch Feng Shun, died of serious illness one after another.For fear of "disease and epidemic spillover", the main courtyard was sealed off, and Yinhu immediately moved to live in Shaoxiu courtyard.

Feng Shun has been loyal and responsible since Guo Luoluo's family entered the door, but the most powerful person in Baylor's mansion is not Guo Luoluo's family, but Yinhu.If the Guo Luoluo family came up with such a poisonous plan, if it works, not only Wanning will suffer, but the entire Baylor Mansion will be compensated.If it wasn't for the fact that Aixinjueluo's family didn't have a precedent of abandoning Fujin, Yinhu would have wished for a letter of divorce to be thrown in Guo Luoluo's face, driving her directly back to the Prince's Mansion of Anjun.

Guo Luoluo's Yinhu couldn't move, but the people around her were not so lucky.Feng Shun, who was directly involved in this matter, was killed with a stick, and said to the outside world that he died of illness, and Hong Zhu, who was a whistleblower, was fished out and put in the waiter as a tea-making servant.

It was only then that Wan Ning knew that Concubine Hui and Noble Wei had jointly wiped out that invisible disaster. Thanks to Concubine Hui holding a quarter of the palace power, and Hongzhu relying on Nanny Wanyan to deliver the news, the disaster started. make up.The screen that was sent up was indeed embroidered by Wan Ning herself, and the one that was destroyed was just a replacement made by the embroiderer below.Guo Luoluo's lack of knowledge in acupuncture, coupled with the fact that Madam Wanyan covered it up, made it impossible to recognize it for a while.

"Fujin's illness is unlucky. I heard that I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of it in a few months." It's a big matter, and Wan Ning never mentioned it to others. Even Yinhu only mentioned it vaguely. After a few sentences, he left the topic directly, so Hu Po only thought that Guo Luoluo was really bedridden by the wind and cold, "The emperor said that the queen mother will go to the south of the Yangtze River in the first month of next year, and the master thinks that it is possible for the eighth master to accompany him on a tour Woolen cloth?"

"Where can we guess the emperor's intentions?" Wan Ning flipped through the account books purchased by Baylor's Mansion, "Fu Jin is sick and can't get out of bed, but he can't be short of money. This red bamboo charcoal is smokeless and tasteless. For Fujin Sending a few more baskets there is a wish from my concubine."

After Guo Luoluo's "illness", Yinhu handed over the Baylor Mansion to her to take care of.With so many pairs of eyes watching from outside, she naturally couldn't embarrass Guo Luoluo, on the contrary, she had to be sincere.She really wanted to see Guo Luoluo's expression after knowing that she now had the power of life and death in the mansion.

Entering December, Kangxi officially decreed that on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the Queen Mother would go south, accompanied by concubine Wang, nobleman Guerjia and concubine Chen Shu, and the prince would stay to supervise the country. Elder brother, third elder brother, fourth elder brother, eighth elder brother The elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother accompanied him.Wanning also received a notice from Yinhu, ready to pack her bags and set off together.

"Little Gege is still young, and my concubine and master are gone, who will take care of her?" Wan Ning leaned on Yinhu's shoulder, "This mansion seems to be safe, but in fact there are many crises, why don't we send Xiao Gege to the palace Let's go." No matter whether it is to be taken care of by Concubine Hui or nobleman Wei, it is worse than leaving it to the nanny to stay in Baylor's mansion. The centipede is dead but not stiff, who knows if Guo Luoluo will change his mind once again What about tricks?

"That's fine." Little Gege is his only bloodline now, so he must not let others plot against him.

So on the second day, I asked Kangxi to play Kangxi, saying that Fujin followed him on his southern tour. Fujin was seriously ill. He was afraid that the slaves in the mansion would not be able to take good care of his daughter. Affection.

Kangxi agreed, and thought that he hadn't seen Mrs. Wei for many years. The woman who was as beautiful as a peach blossom was now a magnolia plant in the corner of the palace.
