[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

"Sister Niu Hulu is very clever!" Song Gege pinched the veil and covered her mouth with a smirk, "Fu Jin hasn't spoken yet! My sister can relieve Fujin's worries!"

Wu Gege also laughed and said: "My sister is very good at observing words and expressions! Or, my sister found out about Fujin's intentions from other places."

Shuwan never mentioned to the Niu Hulu family the matter of supporting Wang Fangfujin. Song Gege and Wu Gege were jealous and deliberately brought up the flaws in Niu Hulu's behavior.

Niu Hulu was innocent and flustered, "No...it's not like this...I just, just feel sorry for Wang Fang Fujin and want to help her. I didn't know that Fujin also wanted to help Wang Fang Fujin."

Song Gege rubbed the handkerchief, "It turns out that my sister is kind-hearted! Fujin, sister Niu Hulu is very similar to our family in this respect, she has a kind heart."

Shuwan pretended not to understand Song Gege and Wu Gege's strange yin and yang.

She smiled and praised Niu Hulu, "You can chat with Wang Fangfujin, and it's nothing to give some flowers and lotus root noodles. This is your private friendship, and I will not interfere."

Niu Hulu nodded quickly, "Yes, I sympathize with Wang Fang Fujin, and the matter of sending things has something to do with Fujin."

"You've been tired all day, go back and rest!" Shuwan sent them away with a smile.

Shuwan changed into a light blue bamboo cloth dress. This dress has no patterns, but it looks cool and breathable.

Chun'er helped her remove the hairpin, her dark hair was tied up in a bun, and some broken hair was scattered on her forehead, which looked very refreshing.

Nanny Ning stood aside and talked with Shuwan, while fanning herself.

"How does Fujin see the Niu Hulu clan?"

"It looks simple and honest, but after careful consideration, I feel that it is too alert." Shuwan asked, "How is Niu Hulu's family?"

Mother Ning smiled and said: "There are several sisters in the family, all of whom have good looks. It is said that she is the roundest one. Counting, among her sisters, she is the best married after the draft."

Shuwan smiled, "Round? That has nothing to do with beauty!"

"It hasn't bloomed yet! I don't know what it will look like in the future." Nanny Ning laughed, "I think Niu Hulu Gege should be really smart and fake simple and honest. A family with many sisters will inevitably have to compete for the love of their parents. If you fight a lot, you will naturally know how to please people."

Nanny Ning felt that Niu Hulu seemed to have figured out something instead of hitting him by mistake. She deliberately got close to Wang Fang Fujin in order to please Fujin's favor.

Song Gege and Wu Gege were not favored by their husbands in the mansion, and Fujin had never been treated badly in terms of material conditions, and their small life was comparable to that of young ladies from rich families.

In such an environment, the two of them had limited growth and might not be safe in doing things, which might have made Niu Hulu aware of the clues.

Shuwan asked again: "What do you think of the Geng family?"

Nurse Ning thought for a while, "It's not as shrewd as Niu Hulu Gege."

Chun'er put a hibiscus flower on Shuwan's bun, and Shuwan looked at the mirror and nodded.

"The Geng family is not stupid, but they are still young, they only know how to let go, but don't know how to restrain themselves. Our two newcomers, Ge Ge, are not fuel-efficient lamps. Let's let them hang out and see what happens in the future!"

Shuwan turned her head and said to Nanny Ning: "In a few days, Nanny will be leaving the mansion. I have already bought the house, and the furniture is complete. There are pots and pans. Take some time to go to the house these few days. Take a look, just tell me what’s missing, and I’ll order someone to prepare.”

Nurse Ning hurriedly said: "Fu Jin, this is really a disgrace to the slave! It would be great if the slave had a place to settle down! I'm an old bone, and I don't need those good things."

"Things are not the best, but they are brand new and clean. When you leave the house, I will prepare a banquet for you and let Qiuxiang Bingxiang and the others stay with you for a few days to keep you warm." Warm the house."

Nurse Ning was so grateful that she didn't know what to do, "This... Fujin's great favor, this slave will not be able to repay it in this life, so I can only repay it in the next life."

Nanny Ning was about to kneel down to salute Shuwan, but Shuwan hurriedly asked Chun'er to support her.

"Sister, don't do this. You have worked hard all these years, and this is your due reward. If I treat anyone badly, I will not treat my own people badly."

Shuwan thought for a while and said: "Xia'er is in the south, I don't care about her for the time being. Chun'er Qiuxiang Bingxiang is not young, and it's time to start a family. I have been watching it for the past two years. Few of the servants in the front yard can match her." If it is possible for them, after Mammy leaves, help me find out if there are any good men who love their wives, and introduce them to me."

Chun'er blushed, "Fu Jin! I will never marry for the rest of my life, so I will serve you in the mansion! If I am married, how can I come in and serve you?"

Shuwan sighed: "I'm not trying to sell you, you must choose someone you like."

Nanny Ning smiled and said: "Chun'er and the others have such good looks that they are worthy of being an official. Don't worry, Fujin. I have been with you for so many years and have worked with them for so long. I probably know their preferences. The slave must have chosen the wrong person." No!"

"Okay, you look at the picker first!"

Nurse Ning sighed: "Fu Jin, when the servant leaves and the three girls get married, don't you have no one around you? Xiaohua is not bad, but she is like a gourd, I'm afraid she can't control other little girls Little eunuch, you still have to promote a few more big maids."

Shuwan also sighed, "It's hard to find a good girl. Some of the girls recommended by Qiuxiang and Bingxiang were given to the elder brother, and the rest were given to the younger brother. The other girls are either not what I like. Either it’s not easy to do things. You have to rely on fate to choose people, let’s take a look! There are enough people to serve, but they can’t help you with big things.”

Nanny Ning sighed, Fujin said it easily, the royal family is the most prone to major incidents.

Shuwan is arranging personnel transfers. In the eighth elder brother's mansion next door, Wang Fangfujin returned to his yard. He didn't even bother to change his clothes and lay down on the bed from exhaustion.

Of the two maids staying in the mansion, one poured water and the other held a wooden box.

"Cian Fujin, what's in this box?"

Wang Zhe Fujin sighed: "The flowery appearance was given by Ge Ge, a newcomer from the prince's mansion next door. Fujin saw it, and asked me to make three pairs of shoes for Eighth Prince according to the flowery appearance, and I will have it in half a month."

The maid holding the wooden box slammed the box on the table, "Make three pairs of shoes in half a month? Isn't that killing you? To make shoes for men, you have to embroider, cut, and have fine stitches. It takes so much time." Kung fu, it’s great to be able to make a pair of shoes in half a month.”

The maid serving tea scolded: "You girl, you've gone crazy! This is not a place for you to vent your anger! Quickly check to see if the table is broken, will you pay for it?"

The little maid pursed her lips, and gently moved the wooden box away, "Fortunately, there is no mark. Gege in the next door is really busy, she is free, what kind of flowers does she give? What does Fujin have to do with her?" !"

Wang Zhe Fujin said wearily: "Okay, stop shouting, let Fujin hear, it's another gossip. Gege in the mansion next door has no bad intentions, she's just a cute, scheming little girl, she likes mine Needlework, just chatted with me a few words. She is serious and just wants to give me a few fancy books.

If Fujin treats me well, let alone a box of flowers, she will not let me make shoes if I give ten boxes.She just wanted to train me. Have I done less work these years? "

Wang Fangfujin said: "Open the box, and I'll see what it looks like."

She struggled to get up and moved to the table.

The maid helped her and walked over, "Ce Fujin, you'd better rest on the bed! I'll take the flower pattern over."

Wang Zhefujin smiled and said: "I'm not the same as before. When I was serving that person, I could stand for three days and three nights, not to mention standing for a day. Now my body is delicate, and I feel tired when I move."

The maidservant's eyes were a little sour, and she felt pitiful for Fang Fujin.She was not raised delicately, she was born and tortured by Fujin, and her body was forcibly broken.

The box was opened, the maid took out the patterns, and Wang Zefujin looked through them.

Wang Zefujin shook his head in disappointment, "Oh, it's no different from the flowers at home, they are all fashionable recently."

The maid exclaimed, "Ah! There's something under here! It's lotus root powder and camellia noodles!"

"Cian Fujin, these two things are good! With this, you don't have to be hungry. I heard that lotus root powder nourishes the stomach, and eating a bowl every day will make your stomach feel better!"

"But...why did Gege from the mansion next door send this?"

The maid took out lotus root starch and camellia noodles, and Wang Zefujin looked at these things in a daze.

The two maids guessed.

"Is it because the maid is sloppy and put the wrong box?"

"No way! Is the maid of the county prince's mansion so careless?"

"On purpose? How do they know that we, Fujin, don't have enough to eat?"

Wang Zhefujin quickly interrupted them, "Don't make any guesses, I was the one who devoured the snacks, Na Gege saw it for herself. She has good intentions and wants to help me."

The maids thought this explanation was reasonable, "She is kind, and there are not many such kind-hearted people."

Wang Zhefujin ordered them to put away the things, "Don't let others know, hide them, if you really can't stand it in the future, eat some secretly. There may not be such things next time!"

"Would you like to have a bowl of Chuan Fujin now?"

"No! I'm not hungry today, you guys go out! I want to sleep."

The maids all went out, and Wang Zefujin sat at the table in a daze.

There must be a reason for Gege next door to send this thing. Song Gege and Wu Gege are also very enthusiastic about her today. Could it be...Si Fujin's instruction?

Wang Ze Fujin nodded, it made sense, if there was no Si Fujin's instruction, Ge Ge and others would be wise and safe, and no one would pay attention to her.This kind of thing like old friends at first sight will definitely not happen to me. In the royal family, there is only use, no emotion.

It's like the eighth elder brother is talking to her nicely, but whenever the eighth elder brother tortures her, the eighth elder brother disappears.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Wang Zefujin slowly took off the earrings, hairpins and other things.

She knew that Sifujin had a feud with Bafujin, and she had to show Sifujin the value she could use, thanks to Sifujin's respect.

Will it be discovered by the eighth elder brother, and will the eighth elder brother kill her after being discovered?She can't take care of all these, as long as she can make trouble for Brother Ba and Ba Fujin, she will be happy in her heart!

Wang Fangfujin was thinking of a way to communicate with the neighbor, and Shuwan was also thinking of ways to put people in the neighbor's mansion.

It is best for this kind of person to have a clean family background, be able to stay in the backyard, and it is best to have frequent relationships with the women in the backyard.

Shuwan wrote a letter and sent it to Jiangnan. Xia Er found two suitable candidates for her.

The first one is a widow with a beautiful appearance, she is an excellent embroiderer, she is good at craftsmanship, she does things neatly and happily, and she is very good at pleasing the wife of a wealthy family.

The second person is a nun, with a kind face and kind eyes, who can explain profound Buddhist principles in simple terms, and is very good at almsgiving.

Xia'er inquired about Eighth Brother's shopping manager in the south of the Yangtze River, and after turning several corners, the buyer took the initiative to invite the two of them to the capital.

These two are well-known in the circle of ladies in the south of the Yangtze River, and the buyers are very relieved, feeling that they have done a good job.

After a month, Wang Zefujin nearly lost his eyesight and only finished three pairs of shoes. Of course, he was reprimanded by Bafujin.

Seeing that it's coming into August, it's time to cut the autumn clothes. Bafujin has never been harsh on the obvious things like cutting clothes and making jewelry.It happened that there was a new tailor in the mansion, and Ba Fujin asked her to take the measurements, which made it easier for the tailor to meet Wang Fangfujin.

When measuring the size, the tailor stuffed a bank note into Wang Fangfujin's hand under the cover of the clothes, and told her in a low voice that she could pray to the gods and worship the Buddha because it was really hard.

Soon, Wang Zefujin got in touch with the nun again under the pretext of worshiping the Buddha.

Shuwan relies on tailors and nuns to communicate with Wang Fangfujin. At present, what Wang Fangfujin provides is irrelevant and small information, which is of no use. Shuwan does not know whether Wang Fangfujin will provide any useful information in the future.

In these days, apart from Wang Fangfujin's matter, Shuwan also made a fuss about sending Nanny Ning away.

At the beginning, she promised Ning Momo to let her retire, but now of course she has to fulfill the promise.

Shuwan arranged a banquet in Nanny Ning's room, and all the housekeepers, big and small, came over to toast, no matter they were busy or not.

Shuwan was also present, and had a glass of wine to save face for Nanny Ning.

Everyone in the house once again lamented that Fujin was kind to others, generous with money, and never beat anyone.Of course, these people have to complain in their hearts, it's not so good to follow the fourth elder brother.

Fujin went to see him off, and the princesses in the backyard also went to have a glass of wine.

On the way back, Song Gege and Wu Gege whispered.

"The two of us have lived in the palace for a few years, and we have lived in the palace for a few years. We have seen so many people in and out of the palace, and we are the most generous in Fujin. It's just an old nanny. I will buy a house for me when I leave the palace. Yuefa Yinzi, although she has no children! But Nurse Ning recognized her goddaughter, so she will be able to rely on her in the future."

Wu Gege sighed: "Oh! That's right! To put it bluntly, sometimes I want to be Fujin's maid."

As a maid, you can marry in the future, and if you don’t marry, you will get old and have money and a house. How wonderful it is!They do not have to worry about food and clothing, but this life is coming to an end, and nothing has changed.

Geng Gege and Niu Hulu Gege couldn't hear clearly, but they vaguely heard a few words, and they could probably guess what Song Gege and the others said.

Geng Gege and Niu Hulu Gege looked at each other, their thoughts fluttering.

After Nanny Ning's farewell banquet was over, Shuwan picked a good day to send Nanny Ning out of the house.

After a few days, Shuwan felt that the princesses in the mansion were much more attentive.

I used to come to say hello on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, but now these princesses come every morning.The timing of their arrival was also ingenious, it was when the fourth elder brother had just left the house.

Song Gege brought Da Gege over to say hello, and asked Da Gege to show Shuwan what he learned yesterday.

Da Gege was stiff all over, like a poor kid who was pushed out to perform during the Chinese New Year.

Shuwan smiled and said: "Big Gege, come here, don't listen to Song Gege, you study riding and archery for the sake of rationality and fitness, not for performance. You have a strong body and the temperament of reading poetry and books, so you can enough."

Da Gege nodded gratefully, "Yes, daughter remembers Erniang's teachings."

Song Gege knew that he had done something stupid, so he quickly made up for himself.

"Oh, I don't know much, I don't understand these things, it's because Fujin understands the truth, Da Gege is here with me, and it's all delayed. It's because of Fujin's hard work and teaching over the years that Da Gege didn't let me grow bad. Hehe..."

Song Gege stepped forward and gently pushed Da Gege, "From now on, follow Fujin and study hard. If you can learn three points from Fujin, it will be enough for you to use for a lifetime."

Big Gege thinks Song Gege is weird, but she can't tear down her mother.

She could only smile dryly: "Yes, I remember!"

Shuwan thought for a while and said: "Big Gege has indeed reached the age of learning to be a housekeeper. You used to manage your yard by yourself. I think you manage it very well. Now it's time to learn to manage a bigger yard."

Song Gege was even more excited, "Learn from Fujin, Da Gege will definitely be right!"

She urged Da Gege Shane again, "Thank you Fujin quickly, you said that you will study hard in the future and live up to Fujin's expectations."

Shuwan pursed her lips, disgusted with Song Gege's nasty taste.

"Okay, stop talking, go, take that snack!"

Song Gege retreated with a dry smile, and Wu Gege stepped forward again.

"It seems that autumn is coming, and the autumn is dry. The servant took a lot of dew from the lotus leaves, and used honey, white pears, red dates, wolfberry, longan and other things to stew a bowl of pear soup for Fujin."

Shuwan thought back on what she had learned, wondering if the dew would be clean.

"I just had breakfast, I'm not very hungry, you can leave it for now!"

Wu Gege blinked at Shuwan in frustration, "Yes, I will cook soup for you at another time next time."

After finishing speaking, he went down complaining.

Geng Gege said with a smile: "Sister Wu is so careful. The servant can't make pear soup, but he can play the flute. Fujin, the weather is nice today, the wind is sunny, would you like to listen to a song?"

Shuwan raised her eyebrows, "This... don't listen to it, you can play it again during the Mid-Autumn Festival! Elder brother will be there, and everyone will be there."

Geng also complained, who wants to brag to the fourth elder brother?The fourth elder brother doesn't divide houses, and doesn't give away lipstick...

Niu Hulu sent a pair of flowerpot-soled shoes, "I am not as good as Sister Song. I have the credit for having children, I am not as good at cooking as Sister Wu, and I am not as talented as Sister Geng. A slave can only do some needlework. This They are the shoes that the slaves started making after they entered the mansion, do you want to try Fujin?"

Everyone looked over and saw that Niu Hulu's shoes were exquisite.On the side is a pattern of a jade rabbit pounding medicine, surrounded by auspicious clouds.The toe is a ruby ​​with short pearl tassels hanging beside it.

Thinking about wearing these shoes, the rubies are shining and the pearl tassels are shaking when you walk, it must be very cute.

Shuwan has seen many good things, and she can't put it down when she sees this pair of shoes.

"What a delicate craftsmanship, what a careful thought."

Song Gege smiled and said, "Sister Niu Hulu is so generous, the color of the ruby ​​is really good, where did you get the ruby? Is it a dowry at home?"

Song Gege scolded her like hell in his heart, and it's this stinky girl again, with a round face, like a simple and honest person, why is she so scheming?make shoes?What a waste of effort!

Geng Gege and Wu Gege were also unhappy, they just made shoes, as if no one knew how to do it.Isn't it good craftsmanship?What a big deal!

Niu Hulu quickly explained: "Sister Song misunderstood. According to the rules, I can't bring a dowry. When I got married, Er Niang secretly gave me 100 taels of silver, and nothing else. I dare not hide this Fujin!

The ruby ​​on these shoes was removed from the head that Fujin gave me.I think the color of this ruby ​​is good, and I think I am not suitable for it, and only Fujin is suitable for it. "

After speaking, Niu Hulu smiled and revealed her lovely dimples.

Geng Gege has a strong sense of crisis in her heart, it seems that she has always underestimated Niu Hulu.She thought that they would come in together, and everyone would take care of each other, so that she could compete with Song Gege, Wu Gege, an old seniority, but she didn't expect Niu Hulu to be enough by herself, and she didn't need her help at all.

She looks innocent and naive, but she is very good at talking.

Telling the origin of the ruby, and revealing her own private dowry, she likes to come to Fujin like this.

By the way, she also praised Fujin, saying that only Fujin is equipped with rubies!

Geng Gege felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the ruby ​​hairpin in his jewelry box.Why couldn't she think of such a good idea?

Shuwan smiled and said: "Okay, it's just jewelry, there is nothing worthy or unworthy, if I give it to you, you can use it, I like to see you all dressed up beautifully."

Shuwan ordered: "Come here! Bring Niu Hulu Gege a set of jewelry, and make up that hair."

Song Gege and the others hated it even more, and the Niu Hulu clan made money!
