[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress
Chapter 111
The first round of the draft is over, Gongli seized the vacancy and held a wedding for the twelfth elder brother.
Elder Brother Twelve was brought up by Lagu Su Ma, the Empress Dowager's maid. He is approachable, gentle and courteous, relatively low-key in the palace, and has a good relationship with other princes.
Shuwan prepared gifts in advance, and on the day of the wedding banquet, she and the fourth elder brother got up early and entered the palace together to congratulate.
The wedding banquet of the twelfth elder brother was very lively. Lagu Su Ma, who had been reclusive all the time, also appeared in Ningshou Palace, accompanying the queen mother to talk with all the female relatives.
The queen mother sat at the head, and Aunt Su Ma sat on the stool beside the queen mother. They talked and laughed happily.
Aunt Su Ma has a special status in the palace. Although she is a slave, she is the confidant of the Empress Dowager and the emperor's teacher of Manchurian and Mongolian culture. Everyone in the palace respects her and dare not neglect her in the slightest.
The female relatives sat together, some were listening to the Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma talking, and some were chatting with the people around them.
Wu Fujin was still sitting next to Shuwan, she patted Shuwan's arm and told her to look across.
Today, the Eight Fujins went to the palace for a banquet, and brought Wang Fang Fujin with them.This poor side Fujin stood behind Ba Fujin like a maid.
Wu Fujin said softly: "Look, you have brought out Fujin again."
Shuwan smiled and said: "Ci Fujin is the one who got on the jade plate, so it's not rude for her to bring Fang Fujin into the palace."
"Who cares if she's being rude or polite, I just pity that Fujin, who fell into the hands of this kind of person and suffered all kinds of bullying."
In fact, Shuwan also can't get used to it, Bafujin seems to have a target for bullying people, and she can't fall down for a day.
"Forget it, just pretend not to see it! We are not her mother and father, and they don't want to listen to our long-winded words."
Wu Fujin sighed, turned his head away, pretending not to see.
Everyone chatted for a while, and the queen mother felt that it was almost time, so she sent them to the bridal chamber.
Arriving at the yard of the twelfth elder brother, just in time for the twelfth elder brother to lift his hijab.
Everyone made a fuss, got to know the bride, and then went to have a wedding wine together.
The banquet in the palace arranged songs and dances. Everyone watched the songs and dances, and ate food one after another.
As usual, Wang Fangfujin stood behind Bafujin and poured wine and dishes. Lagu Su Ma, who was sitting next to the queen mother, couldn't see it.
La Aunt Su Ma's table and stool are a bit shorter than the Queen Mother's, but she sits high and can see far.
She smiled and said to the queen mother and fourth concubine: "Masters, forgive me for being old and dim-sighted. Who is that well-dressed man standing behind the Fujins? This servant has never seen it before."
The queen mother and fourth concubine knew who Lagu Su Ma was talking about from a distance.
The palace rules are strict and the ranks are clearly defined. Wang Fangfujin is regarded as the master, and her clothes are in accordance with Fangfujin's standards, which are much more gorgeous than ordinary palace ladies.
The eighth elder brother is the adopted son of Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui quickly replied: "Mother Ernie, that is the eighth elder brother's side Fujin."
Aunt Su Ma smiled, "What a pretty girl, eighth brother is lucky. Whose family is that?"
Concubine Hui was a little embarrassed to say that Wang Fangfujin used to be Bafujin's dowry girl, and she bought it from outside.It stands to reason that such a person is not worthy of being a side Fujin. Fortunately, her parents are not slaves, so the eighth elder brother did a bit of manipulation and helped their family raise the flag and become a coat.
Concubine Hui said vaguely, "Ci Fujin belongs to Wang Jia's family."
Although La Aunt Su Ma is old, her mind is still not confused.She knew that there was something tricky about it, probably because of Fujin's poor family background, so she didn't ask further.
If she doesn't ask, it doesn't mean someone won't tell.
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Mother Ernie, Wang Jia's side Fujin is the dowry girl of the Eight Fujin, and they have a deep love between master and servant. See, Wang Jia's has become a side Fujin, and she is still serving the master like before! Hehehe !"
Concubine Hui's hands were clenched into fists in her sleeves, and she complained in her heart that Concubine Yi was too talkative.
Aunt Su Ma pretended not to understand Concubine Yi's ridicule, she smiled and pretended to be confused, "It's good to be kind, good!"
Concubine De Rong interrupted to talk about something else, Concubine Hui waved her hand and asked the maid to come over.
Concubine Hui's maid quietly walked to Ba Fujin and told her what Concubine Hui had said.
"Your Majesty said, please sit at the back, Wang Fangfujin."
Although Bafujin was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey Concubine Hui's words on this occasion.
She glanced at Wang Fangfujin, "You're used to pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy. Since it's the empress who is speaking, you should go and sit in the back!"
Wang Fang Fujin knelt down to salute, thanked Ba Fujin, and nodded gratefully to Concubine Hui's maid.She sat in the back, took a sip of tea, and finally took a breath.
After the banquet, Concubine Liang told Ba Fujin not to go back in a hurry, but to go to the bedroom with her.
When she arrived at Concubine Liang's residence, she sent out all the servants, leaving Ba Fujin to say a few words.
"I know you are a woman with ideas and insights. As a mother-in-law, I am far inferior to you, so I am embarrassed to teach you."
Ba Fujin's feelings for her mother-in-law are very complicated. At first she looked down on this humble mother-in-law, but Concubine Liang was really kind to her.
For so many years, Concubine Liang coaxed and persuaded her daughter-in-law, but she dared not say a single harsh word.
Sometimes Bafujin hates Ba Ge for being ruthless, but he can't implicate his hatred of Ba Ge on Concubine Liang.
"Emiang just teach me a lesson, I dare not refute."
"You, Fujin, have done a good job. I have nothing to teach you. It's just...be nicer to Mrs. Wang in the future."
Concubine Liang was afraid that Fujin would be angry, so she quickly explained, "I won't intervene when you discipline the people in the mansion, but Lagu Su Ma saw it today and mentioned something. You also know that the emperor respects her very much, and the emperor takes care of her." It’s called Mother Ernie, and everyone calls it that way. If Mother Ernie says something in front of the emperor, it will be difficult for you and Eighth Prince.”
Ba Fujin suddenly realized, no wonder Concubine Hui came to speak for Wang, it turned out to be the reason.
Concubine Liang persuaded her earnestly, "Son, the reputation of us women is the most important thing. Then Mrs. Wang will take care of you anyway. For her hard work, don't embarrass her too much. If you embarrass her, you only have a moment of pleasure. But in the eyes of others, if you can’t tolerate others, that’s not good.”
Bafujin hated Wang so much that she didn't care whether it was a temporary pleasure or a long-term pleasure, as long as Wang was alive, she would torture her all the time.
Seeing Ba Fujin's indifferent expression, Concubine Liang knew that she didn't take what she said to heart.
She sighed for a long time, "Or...you can treat her whatever you want when you're at home, just don't bring it out, let alone let anyone see it."
This Eight Fortunes can still do it, she nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Er Niang, I will write it down."
Concubine Liang kept Bafujin, while Concubine De kept Shuwan.
The palace lady wanted to serve tea, Concubine De told her that there was no need to serve it, and sent everyone out.
"It doesn't take much effort for me to say a few words to you, and I won't let you drink tea, so that the fourth elder brother in front won't be in a hurry."
Shuwan smiled and said, "What's the matter with Er Niang keeping me?"
Concubine De didn't talk too much, and told about what Lagu Su Ma mentioned about Wang Fangfujin today.
Shuwan nodded, "Wang Fangfujin met a nobleman today."
Concubine De said: "What kind of nobleman is Mama Ernie? She lives in the deep palace, Wang Fangfujin lives outside the palace, and Bafujin bullies others. She can't bear to mention it. But Wang Fangfujin belongs to the eighth elder brother." Can Ernie's mother protect her all the time? To put it bluntly, Ernie's mother is so old, and she doesn't have a good life for a few years. "
Shuwan asked: "Then why did Er Niang tell me this? To be honest, I also sympathize with Wang Fangfujin. I liked her quite a lot when she was not a side Fujin. She is thoughtful and does not need to be reminded by the master. Everything can be thought of in front of the master.
But now she belongs to the eighth elder brother, I can't see it and I can't interfere in the affairs of my uncle's house! "
Concubine De sighed: "What a fool! I didn't let you meddle in the affairs of Brother Ba's house. Wang Fang Fujin is going through a difficult time now, if you can't see it, just help her!"
"I...how can I help? Fighting with Bafujin because of her?"
Concubine De smiled and scolded: "What an idiot beauty, she usually looks clever, but she is so useless when she comes to Zhenzhang! What else do you do besides being eloquent and swearing? You can make money! You think of a way in private to help the king's side Fujin."
"This... I heard that Brother Ba really dotes on her, so she shouldn't be short of money, right?"
Concubine De scolded again: "Stupid seed! Can't you see it? Eighth elder brother's pets are all false, eighth elder brother bullies Wang like that, doesn't eighth elder brother know? He just pretends not to know!"
Shuwan said: "Eighth elder brother can't do without Bafujin, and Bafujin is in charge inside and outside the house. But I think Wang Fangfujin's clothes are very bright, and eighth elder brother will not be too stingy with the woman he likes." Bar!"
Concubine De shook her head with a look of disdain.
"Go back and ask secretly, how much money does Wang Fangfujin have a month? I guess, it's no more than three taels of silver. Think about it, what is three taels of silver enough to do in elder brother's house? Wang Fangfujin's family background is poor, no Dowry money. The house is in charge of Bafujin again, so I think it will be a problem for her to have enough to eat."
Shuwan nodded, thoughtfully.
Concubine De went on to say: "I'm not the merciful and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, and neither are you. Everyone has their own destiny, and you should be careful when helping Wang Fujin, and don't treat her too much like your own daughter.
Why did I ask you to help her?Because the old eighth couple and the fourth elder brother did not deal with each other, the eighth elder brother has a good reputation in the court, and I don't know what will happen in the future.If you have one more helper, the fourth elder brother will have one more way out.If Wang Fangfujin is willing to help you, it is our luck, if she refuses to help, don't be angry.
People are not as good as heaven, don't think about who can help you, if you go to make friends, it will be too late.You have to form more good karma within your ability, maybe it will be useful one day. "
Shuwan got up and saluted solemnly, "Thank you for your teaching, Er Niang, but Er Niang is amazing, even my daughter-in-law can't catch up with her flattery."
Concubine De smiled and said: "Forget it, you don't need to be so serious, we are just chatting. These experiences of mine are also due to many detours when I was young, and I figured it out by myself. When you reach my age, you don't need my advice." , you just want to see it through yourself. I'm tired, so you go back too! Don't make the fourth elder brother wait too impatiently."
Shuwan saluted and resigned, went out of the palace gate, joined the fourth elder brother, and went home together.
The fourth elder brother had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, when he saw Shuwan coming out, he complained casually.
"What did you do? It came out so slowly."
Shuwan smiled and said: "I will send Er Niang back to Yonghe Palace first, so I came out late."
The two were riding in the same carriage, Shuwan raised her hands and raised eight fingers.
"Brother, do you have someone here?"
The fourth elder brother wanted to laugh when he saw Shuwan's gesture, why did he look like Xiaobao who was just learning arithmetic, and even snapped his fingers.
"What do you ask for this?"
Shuwan said: "I want to inquire about something, how much is the monthly payment for Fujin next door?"
The fourth elder brother thought of the news of the draft in the palace, and immediately thought wrongly.
"Our family doesn't enclose Fujin on the side, and adding another person is a gege, you don't need to ask about this, my jealous Fujin."
Shuwan patted him, "Oh! I'm telling you something serious! If you arrange a man next door, please help me find out about Wang Fangfujin's situation."
The fourth elder brother asked: "What did you ask her to do?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll tell you when you find out more clearly!"
The fourth elder brother stretched out his finger and tapped his cheek, "Well, do you understand?"
Shuwan was speechless, she took out her handkerchief and roughly wiped the fourth brother's face a few times.
"They're old couples, and they're still doing this kind of business. Shouldn't you be rewarded for helping me?"
After speaking, pouted and moved over.
The fourth elder brother turned his head and sucked her like an octopus. Shuwan was so angry that she slapped him on the shoulder.
There was an ambiguous sound in the carriage, and Shuwan blushed with embarrassment.
The carriage was sparkling, and there were the footsteps of the guards and eunuchs, so Shuwan couldn't help but think of the carriage play described in the little yellow book, and now not only her face was red, but her neck was also red.
After the kiss, the fourth elder brother smiled and leaned against the carriage.
"Yo! You're blushing like this!"
Shuwan: "..." Hmph, is the old driver amazing?
Back home, Chun'er helped Shuwan get off the carriage, and the fourth elder brother jumped down slowly behind Shuwan, quite lively.
Shuwan kept her head down, and Chun'er bent over to take a look.
"Oh! Fujin, what's wrong with you? Why are your lips swollen? You're still fine in the palace!"
Shuwan is ashamed!No one paid attention to her at first, but when Chun'er yelled, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on her.
Chun'er also described it in detail. It was okay when she was in the palace, but it was not good to go home by car. The time and place were clearly introduced!
Shuwan was so angry that she shook off Chun'er's hand, "It's okay, I'm allergic to food, just go back and apply some plaster."
"Allergy? What is an allergy?"
Shuwan covered her mouth with a veil, wishing to kill with her eyes.
Although the fourth elder brother has never heard of this word, he can probably guess the meaning.
He came over to help Shuwan with a smile, "Today, there is a special kind of fruit in the palace, which is tributed from the south. Some people will feel uncomfortable after eating it. Fujin should be like this. Go and ask the doctor to prescribe two doses of heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine." , take the medicine and you should be fine."
Chun'er was extremely innocent today, she believed the fourth elder brother's words, and hurried to find the doctor to get the medicine.
Back in the room, Shuwan said angrily, "You can drink the heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine yourself! You should clear away the heat and detoxify now!"
The fourth elder brother bullied Shuwan, as if he took advantage of it.
Hearing Shuwan's words, he said with a smile: "Okay! I drink it as long as I drink it. When the time comes, I will use this medicine and drink a leather cup with you! We will suffer together!"
The leather cup was mouth-to-mouth feeding, and Shuwan gritted her teeth and spat.
Old and unprincipled!
Although the fourth elder brother is not serious, he is very reliable in his work.
He quickly found out Wang Fangfujin's monthly case, and also inquired about the details of her daily life.
Wang Zefujin paid three taels of silver a month, and had two big maids and four young maids by his side.New jewelry is made every year, and three sets of clothes are made every quarter.
It sounds like the material conditions are good, but in fact life is tight.
Ba Fujin controls the whole house, she doesn't allow Wang Fang Fujin to have a good life, of course the servants have to obey orders.
Wang Zefujin has no private house, and she can't save money even if she wants to.As long as the eighth elder brother didn't come for a few days, the food delivered by the dining room would be rotten and uneatable.Wang Fangfujin would spend money to buy an egg if he wanted to eat it, and sometimes he couldn't even buy it with money.
In addition to buying food, Wang Zefujin also had to reward his servants.
Clothes and precious jewelry are in abundance, and cannot be pawned. Wang Zefujin is dressed in a fine attire, but he is hungry and full, which ruins his stomach.
The fourth elder brother was also shocked when he heard about this. He never thought that a side Fujin would live such a miserable life.
"The most poisonous woman's heart! The eighth daughter-in-law is really vicious."
Shuwan squinted at him, "Swear as you please, don't bring all the women with you. When you men become vicious, we women can't catch up with you!"
Brother Si didn't argue with her, he asked, "Why are you asking about this?"
Shuwan repeated what Empress Concubine De had said that day, "Er Niang is still thoughtful and insightful, I never would have thought of such things."
The fourth elder brother nodded slowly. Although Er Niang was eccentric, she still cared about him.
The fourth elder brother asked Shuwan: "How do you plan to help Wang Fangfujin?"
"I want to put a few people in the backyard next door to help Wang Fangfujin occasionally, and it's convenient to pass things on. This is a dark line, and I plan to make an open line. I don't deal with Ba Fujin, it's not good for me to come forward directly, it's easy Get Ba Fujin's attention. I plan to ask Song Ge Ge Wu Ge Ge from the backyard to help me, so that they can establish a good relationship with Wang Fang Fujin."
"Your idea is very appropriate, just do as you say!"
The fourth elder brother thought to himself, Song and Wu are not the best candidates, Song is always confused, and Wu is not good at communication, so they may not be able to handle this matter well.It's a pity that there is no one available right now, only the two of them are suitable.
The fourth elder brother mentioned another matter, "Kang Bao is not young, it's time to get vaccinated."
Hearing the word vaccination, Shuwan's mind was buzzing.
"When I was a child, I suffered from the pox. I had a fever, and I was confused. Ama Erniang couldn't be with me. It was very sad at that time. People are like this, the more sick they are, the more vulnerable they are."
The fourth elder brother persuaded: "Don't worry, cowpox is much safer. Kang Bao moved to another yard for a few days and will be back soon."
When Kang Bao is old, it's time to get vaccinated. Besides, there will be more people in the mansion this year, and the fourth elder brother doesn't know what kind of people the new princesses are.
If there are too many people in the mansion, it is easy to make mistakes. The fourth elder brother wants to let Kang Bao finish the vaccination before adding more people to the mansion.
Although Shuwan is reluctant, she also knows that this is a test that Kang Bao must go through.
She said: "I'm going to clean up the yard, and I'll make it available to Empress Pox."
The fourth elder brother held Shuwan in his arms and patted her lightly.
"Don't be afraid. Cowpox is safer than human pox. If you are worried, you can talk to Kang Bao outside the courtyard."
Shuwan nodded, "I see."
Shuwan quickly tidied up the yard, let Kang Bao live in, and sent Chun'er in to take care of him.
Kangbao knew that vaccination was a big deal, and he also knew that before vaccination, many children did not survive vaccination.
After not seeing Er Niang and Ama for many days, Kang Bao was a little scared.But he saw Shuwan's red eyes as if she was about to cry, so he comforted her very firmly.
"Don't worry, Er Niang, it's just cowpox, it's a trivial matter, I'll be out soon."
Shuwan forced a smile, "Good boy, you are so brave! You go in! When you are well, you and I will come pick you up."
Kang Bao waved his hand at Shuwan, and bounced into the yard.
After the courtyard door was closed, Shuwan couldn't hold back, and cried out anyway.
The fourth elder brother hugged her and comforted her softly, but the more he comforted her, the louder Shuwan cried.
Back in the main room, Shuwan found the records written by the imperial physicians when they were studying cowpox.
Seeing that those cases were safe and sound, Shuwan felt much more relaxed.Sooner or later, she burns incense to the acne empress, and prays that Kang Bao is safe and sound.From time to time, I would go outside Kang Bao's yard and ask him if he was feeling well.
There is no way to control human emotions. Shuwan knows that cowpox is highly safe, but she still often wakes up when dreaming at night.
She dreamed that Kang Bao didn't survive the vaccination and went there at a young age.She didn't give birth to Xiao Bao either, Si elder brother prefers Nian Shi.I am in charge of the house like a housekeeper, and will be in charge of palace affairs in the future, but I am always alone.
Every time she wakes up, she always has the same dream. After waking up from the dream, Shuwan is full of resentment. Seeing Si elder brother sleeping soundly, she can't help but push him awake, and then beat him hard twice.
The fourth elder brother is also full of helplessness, he is also worried about his son, why does Shuwan always vent her anger on herself?
Fortunately, such days did not last long. On the tenth day, the imperial doctor in the courtyard brought good news.
Kang Bao is in good health. Now the vaccinia has scabbed, and it will be completely healed when the blood scab falls off.
Shuwan was very happy when she heard the news, and immediately ordered someone to go outside to buy a thick stick of incense and come back.
The servants in the mansion were also quite capable, and soon came back with three sticks of incense nearly one person tall.
Shuwan lit incense and offered offerings, thanking Empress Pox for her blessing.
After another four days, Kang Bao was able to come out, and Shuwan and the fourth elder brother went to pick him up at the gate of the courtyard together.
The courtyard door opened, and Kang Bao jumped out like a small cannonball.
"Ama, Er Niang, I just said it, I'm amazing, it's just vaccination, it's a trivial matter!"
Shuwan held his face and looked it up, it was pink and round, with double chins protruding.
"What... what do you do in the yard every day?"
Kang Bao: "Don't you know, Erniang? You come to ask me every day! Aunt Chun'er played with me, and the little eunuchs wrestled for me. You said that you are working hard in there, and you don't need to study or practice martial arts. You can't Tired me."
Shuwan: So your kid gained a lot of fat inside, and your mother-in-law and I lost a lot of weight outside.
The more Shuwan thought about it, the angrier she became, she raised her foot and kicked Kang Bao's ass.
Compo:? ? ?I know love goes away, but it's too fast!
Elder Brother Twelve was brought up by Lagu Su Ma, the Empress Dowager's maid. He is approachable, gentle and courteous, relatively low-key in the palace, and has a good relationship with other princes.
Shuwan prepared gifts in advance, and on the day of the wedding banquet, she and the fourth elder brother got up early and entered the palace together to congratulate.
The wedding banquet of the twelfth elder brother was very lively. Lagu Su Ma, who had been reclusive all the time, also appeared in Ningshou Palace, accompanying the queen mother to talk with all the female relatives.

Aunt Su Ma has a special status in the palace. Although she is a slave, she is the confidant of the Empress Dowager and the emperor's teacher of Manchurian and Mongolian culture. Everyone in the palace respects her and dare not neglect her in the slightest.
The female relatives sat together, some were listening to the Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma talking, and some were chatting with the people around them.
Wu Fujin was still sitting next to Shuwan, she patted Shuwan's arm and told her to look across.
Today, the Eight Fujins went to the palace for a banquet, and brought Wang Fang Fujin with them.This poor side Fujin stood behind Ba Fujin like a maid.

"Who cares if she's being rude or polite, I just pity that Fujin, who fell into the hands of this kind of person and suffered all kinds of bullying."
In fact, Shuwan also can't get used to it, Bafujin seems to have a target for bullying people, and she can't fall down for a day.
"Forget it, just pretend not to see it! We are not her mother and father, and they don't want to listen to our long-winded words."
Wu Fujin sighed, turned his head away, pretending not to see.

Concubine Hui's hands were clenched into fists in her sleeves, and she complained in her heart that Concubine Yi was too talkative.

Concubine De Rong interrupted to talk about something else, Concubine Hui waved her hand and asked the maid to come over.

"It doesn't take much effort for me to say a few words to you, and I won't let you drink tea, so that the fourth elder brother in front won't be in a hurry."
Shuwan smiled and said, "What's the matter with Er Niang keeping me?"
Concubine De didn't talk too much, and told about what Lagu Su Ma mentioned about Wang Fangfujin today.
Shuwan nodded, "Wang Fangfujin met a nobleman today."
Concubine De said: "What kind of nobleman is Mama Ernie? She lives in the deep palace, Wang Fangfujin lives outside the palace, and Bafujin bullies others. She can't bear to mention it. But Wang Fangfujin belongs to the eighth elder brother." Can Ernie's mother protect her all the time? To put it bluntly, Ernie's mother is so old, and she doesn't have a good life for a few years. "
Shuwan asked: "Then why did Er Niang tell me this? To be honest, I also sympathize with Wang Fangfujin. I liked her quite a lot when she was not a side Fujin. She is thoughtful and does not need to be reminded by the master. Everything can be thought of in front of the master.
But now she belongs to the eighth elder brother, I can't see it and I can't interfere in the affairs of my uncle's house! "
Concubine De sighed: "What a fool! I didn't let you meddle in the affairs of Brother Ba's house. Wang Fang Fujin is going through a difficult time now, if you can't see it, just help her!"
"I...how can I help? Fighting with Bafujin because of her?"
Concubine De smiled and scolded: "What an idiot beauty, she usually looks clever, but she is so useless when she comes to Zhenzhang! What else do you do besides being eloquent and swearing? You can make money! You think of a way in private to help the king's side Fujin."
"This... I heard that Brother Ba really dotes on her, so she shouldn't be short of money, right?"
Concubine De scolded again: "Stupid seed! Can't you see it? Eighth elder brother's pets are all false, eighth elder brother bullies Wang like that, doesn't eighth elder brother know? He just pretends not to know!"
Shuwan said: "Eighth elder brother can't do without Bafujin, and Bafujin is in charge inside and outside the house. But I think Wang Fangfujin's clothes are very bright, and eighth elder brother will not be too stingy with the woman he likes." Bar!"
Concubine De shook her head with a look of disdain.
"Go back and ask secretly, how much money does Wang Fangfujin have a month? I guess, it's no more than three taels of silver. Think about it, what is three taels of silver enough to do in elder brother's house? Wang Fangfujin's family background is poor, no Dowry money. The house is in charge of Bafujin again, so I think it will be a problem for her to have enough to eat."
Shuwan nodded, thoughtfully.
Concubine De went on to say: "I'm not the merciful and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, and neither are you. Everyone has their own destiny, and you should be careful when helping Wang Fujin, and don't treat her too much like your own daughter.
Why did I ask you to help her?Because the old eighth couple and the fourth elder brother did not deal with each other, the eighth elder brother has a good reputation in the court, and I don't know what will happen in the future.If you have one more helper, the fourth elder brother will have one more way out.If Wang Fangfujin is willing to help you, it is our luck, if she refuses to help, don't be angry.
People are not as good as heaven, don't think about who can help you, if you go to make friends, it will be too late.You have to form more good karma within your ability, maybe it will be useful one day. "
Shuwan got up and saluted solemnly, "Thank you for your teaching, Er Niang, but Er Niang is amazing, even my daughter-in-law can't catch up with her flattery."
Concubine De smiled and said: "Forget it, you don't need to be so serious, we are just chatting. These experiences of mine are also due to many detours when I was young, and I figured it out by myself. When you reach my age, you don't need my advice." , you just want to see it through yourself. I'm tired, so you go back too! Don't make the fourth elder brother wait too impatiently."
Shuwan saluted and resigned, went out of the palace gate, joined the fourth elder brother, and went home together.
The fourth elder brother had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, when he saw Shuwan coming out, he complained casually.
"What did you do? It came out so slowly."
Shuwan smiled and said: "I will send Er Niang back to Yonghe Palace first, so I came out late."
The two were riding in the same carriage, Shuwan raised her hands and raised eight fingers.
"Brother, do you have someone here?"
The fourth elder brother wanted to laugh when he saw Shuwan's gesture, why did he look like Xiaobao who was just learning arithmetic, and even snapped his fingers.
"What do you ask for this?"
Shuwan said: "I want to inquire about something, how much is the monthly payment for Fujin next door?"
The fourth elder brother thought of the news of the draft in the palace, and immediately thought wrongly.
"Our family doesn't enclose Fujin on the side, and adding another person is a gege, you don't need to ask about this, my jealous Fujin."
Shuwan patted him, "Oh! I'm telling you something serious! If you arrange a man next door, please help me find out about Wang Fangfujin's situation."
The fourth elder brother asked: "What did you ask her to do?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll tell you when you find out more clearly!"
The fourth elder brother stretched out his finger and tapped his cheek, "Well, do you understand?"
Shuwan was speechless, she took out her handkerchief and roughly wiped the fourth brother's face a few times.
"They're old couples, and they're still doing this kind of business. Shouldn't you be rewarded for helping me?"
After speaking, pouted and moved over.
The fourth elder brother turned his head and sucked her like an octopus. Shuwan was so angry that she slapped him on the shoulder.
There was an ambiguous sound in the carriage, and Shuwan blushed with embarrassment.
The carriage was sparkling, and there were the footsteps of the guards and eunuchs, so Shuwan couldn't help but think of the carriage play described in the little yellow book, and now not only her face was red, but her neck was also red.
After the kiss, the fourth elder brother smiled and leaned against the carriage.
"Yo! You're blushing like this!"
Shuwan: "..." Hmph, is the old driver amazing?
Back home, Chun'er helped Shuwan get off the carriage, and the fourth elder brother jumped down slowly behind Shuwan, quite lively.
Shuwan kept her head down, and Chun'er bent over to take a look.
"Oh! Fujin, what's wrong with you? Why are your lips swollen? You're still fine in the palace!"
Shuwan is ashamed!No one paid attention to her at first, but when Chun'er yelled, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on her.
Chun'er also described it in detail. It was okay when she was in the palace, but it was not good to go home by car. The time and place were clearly introduced!
Shuwan was so angry that she shook off Chun'er's hand, "It's okay, I'm allergic to food, just go back and apply some plaster."
"Allergy? What is an allergy?"
Shuwan covered her mouth with a veil, wishing to kill with her eyes.
Although the fourth elder brother has never heard of this word, he can probably guess the meaning.
He came over to help Shuwan with a smile, "Today, there is a special kind of fruit in the palace, which is tributed from the south. Some people will feel uncomfortable after eating it. Fujin should be like this. Go and ask the doctor to prescribe two doses of heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine." , take the medicine and you should be fine."
Chun'er was extremely innocent today, she believed the fourth elder brother's words, and hurried to find the doctor to get the medicine.
Back in the room, Shuwan said angrily, "You can drink the heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine yourself! You should clear away the heat and detoxify now!"
The fourth elder brother bullied Shuwan, as if he took advantage of it.
Hearing Shuwan's words, he said with a smile: "Okay! I drink it as long as I drink it. When the time comes, I will use this medicine and drink a leather cup with you! We will suffer together!"
The leather cup was mouth-to-mouth feeding, and Shuwan gritted her teeth and spat.
Old and unprincipled!
Although the fourth elder brother is not serious, he is very reliable in his work.
He quickly found out Wang Fangfujin's monthly case, and also inquired about the details of her daily life.
Wang Zefujin paid three taels of silver a month, and had two big maids and four young maids by his side.New jewelry is made every year, and three sets of clothes are made every quarter.
It sounds like the material conditions are good, but in fact life is tight.
Ba Fujin controls the whole house, she doesn't allow Wang Fang Fujin to have a good life, of course the servants have to obey orders.
Wang Zefujin has no private house, and she can't save money even if she wants to.As long as the eighth elder brother didn't come for a few days, the food delivered by the dining room would be rotten and uneatable.Wang Fangfujin would spend money to buy an egg if he wanted to eat it, and sometimes he couldn't even buy it with money.
In addition to buying food, Wang Zefujin also had to reward his servants.
Clothes and precious jewelry are in abundance, and cannot be pawned. Wang Zefujin is dressed in a fine attire, but he is hungry and full, which ruins his stomach.
The fourth elder brother was also shocked when he heard about this. He never thought that a side Fujin would live such a miserable life.
"The most poisonous woman's heart! The eighth daughter-in-law is really vicious."
Shuwan squinted at him, "Swear as you please, don't bring all the women with you. When you men become vicious, we women can't catch up with you!"
Brother Si didn't argue with her, he asked, "Why are you asking about this?"
Shuwan repeated what Empress Concubine De had said that day, "Er Niang is still thoughtful and insightful, I never would have thought of such things."
The fourth elder brother nodded slowly. Although Er Niang was eccentric, she still cared about him.
The fourth elder brother asked Shuwan: "How do you plan to help Wang Fangfujin?"
"I want to put a few people in the backyard next door to help Wang Fangfujin occasionally, and it's convenient to pass things on. This is a dark line, and I plan to make an open line. I don't deal with Ba Fujin, it's not good for me to come forward directly, it's easy Get Ba Fujin's attention. I plan to ask Song Ge Ge Wu Ge Ge from the backyard to help me, so that they can establish a good relationship with Wang Fang Fujin."
"Your idea is very appropriate, just do as you say!"
The fourth elder brother thought to himself, Song and Wu are not the best candidates, Song is always confused, and Wu is not good at communication, so they may not be able to handle this matter well.It's a pity that there is no one available right now, only the two of them are suitable.
The fourth elder brother mentioned another matter, "Kang Bao is not young, it's time to get vaccinated."
Hearing the word vaccination, Shuwan's mind was buzzing.
"When I was a child, I suffered from the pox. I had a fever, and I was confused. Ama Erniang couldn't be with me. It was very sad at that time. People are like this, the more sick they are, the more vulnerable they are."
The fourth elder brother persuaded: "Don't worry, cowpox is much safer. Kang Bao moved to another yard for a few days and will be back soon."
When Kang Bao is old, it's time to get vaccinated. Besides, there will be more people in the mansion this year, and the fourth elder brother doesn't know what kind of people the new princesses are.
If there are too many people in the mansion, it is easy to make mistakes. The fourth elder brother wants to let Kang Bao finish the vaccination before adding more people to the mansion.
Although Shuwan is reluctant, she also knows that this is a test that Kang Bao must go through.
She said: "I'm going to clean up the yard, and I'll make it available to Empress Pox."
The fourth elder brother held Shuwan in his arms and patted her lightly.
"Don't be afraid. Cowpox is safer than human pox. If you are worried, you can talk to Kang Bao outside the courtyard."
Shuwan nodded, "I see."
Shuwan quickly tidied up the yard, let Kang Bao live in, and sent Chun'er in to take care of him.
Kangbao knew that vaccination was a big deal, and he also knew that before vaccination, many children did not survive vaccination.
After not seeing Er Niang and Ama for many days, Kang Bao was a little scared.But he saw Shuwan's red eyes as if she was about to cry, so he comforted her very firmly.
"Don't worry, Er Niang, it's just cowpox, it's a trivial matter, I'll be out soon."
Shuwan forced a smile, "Good boy, you are so brave! You go in! When you are well, you and I will come pick you up."
Kang Bao waved his hand at Shuwan, and bounced into the yard.
After the courtyard door was closed, Shuwan couldn't hold back, and cried out anyway.
The fourth elder brother hugged her and comforted her softly, but the more he comforted her, the louder Shuwan cried.
Back in the main room, Shuwan found the records written by the imperial physicians when they were studying cowpox.
Seeing that those cases were safe and sound, Shuwan felt much more relaxed.Sooner or later, she burns incense to the acne empress, and prays that Kang Bao is safe and sound.From time to time, I would go outside Kang Bao's yard and ask him if he was feeling well.
There is no way to control human emotions. Shuwan knows that cowpox is highly safe, but she still often wakes up when dreaming at night.
She dreamed that Kang Bao didn't survive the vaccination and went there at a young age.She didn't give birth to Xiao Bao either, Si elder brother prefers Nian Shi.I am in charge of the house like a housekeeper, and will be in charge of palace affairs in the future, but I am always alone.
Every time she wakes up, she always has the same dream. After waking up from the dream, Shuwan is full of resentment. Seeing Si elder brother sleeping soundly, she can't help but push him awake, and then beat him hard twice.
The fourth elder brother is also full of helplessness, he is also worried about his son, why does Shuwan always vent her anger on herself?
Fortunately, such days did not last long. On the tenth day, the imperial doctor in the courtyard brought good news.
Kang Bao is in good health. Now the vaccinia has scabbed, and it will be completely healed when the blood scab falls off.
Shuwan was very happy when she heard the news, and immediately ordered someone to go outside to buy a thick stick of incense and come back.
The servants in the mansion were also quite capable, and soon came back with three sticks of incense nearly one person tall.
Shuwan lit incense and offered offerings, thanking Empress Pox for her blessing.
After another four days, Kang Bao was able to come out, and Shuwan and the fourth elder brother went to pick him up at the gate of the courtyard together.
The courtyard door opened, and Kang Bao jumped out like a small cannonball.
"Ama, Er Niang, I just said it, I'm amazing, it's just vaccination, it's a trivial matter!"
Shuwan held his face and looked it up, it was pink and round, with double chins protruding.
"What... what do you do in the yard every day?"
Kang Bao: "Don't you know, Erniang? You come to ask me every day! Aunt Chun'er played with me, and the little eunuchs wrestled for me. You said that you are working hard in there, and you don't need to study or practice martial arts. You can't Tired me."
Shuwan: So your kid gained a lot of fat inside, and your mother-in-law and I lost a lot of weight outside.
The more Shuwan thought about it, the angrier she became, she raised her foot and kicked Kang Bao's ass.
Compo:? ? ?I know love goes away, but it's too fast!
