Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 18

For the concubine, the emperor's favor is more important than anything else.Kangxi stayed in Yonghe Palace overnight, and the attitude of the palace changed immediately.Those palace people who gossip behind their backs have all changed their attitudes now.

In her previous life, Xiaoyi had a deep understanding of stepping on the high and holding the low.But in this life, she will definitely not let a few servants step on her feet.As for their arrogance and respect towards Concubine De, this is exactly what he wants.

"Chun Xing, right? Look up."

Closing the account book, Xiaoyi looked at the court lady kneeling on the ground.Compared to Chuxiu Palace, she seemed to be more fresh.But this time, her eyes were full of humility.After observing for a long while, Xiaoyi was sure that she didn't see anything else in her eyes. This court lady is credible now.

She brought too few people from her natal family, no matter how easy it is to use, it is impossible to cover everything.So Xiaoyi calculated it from the beginning, and found a group of confidantes in the palace.The most indispensable thing in the palace is manpower, but it is very difficult to get the loyalty of servants.Fortunately, Chun Xing is different. Her only younger brother is working beside him.

"Get up, it's been half a year since we left Chuxiu Palace, I didn't expect you to come to Elder Brother's place."

"It's all by the grace of the Lord."

A strange feeling flashed in Xiaoyi's mind, could such a coincidence really be a coincidence?But thinking about it carefully, the prince's big wedding should add people, and the small election will have to wait until the next year. There is no Chu Xiu Palace, so it is most convenient to recruit people.

Dispelling the doubts in her heart, Xiaoyi went directly to the topic.

"Can you read?"

Chun Xing subconsciously shook her head, smiled and touched her forehead, how could she have forgotten this point, the maids in the palace are all selected, and like the eunuchs, they are not allowed to read and write.Concubine De of the previous life did not easily write, and only used seals when necessary.Xiaoyi once saw her calligraphy by accident, the handwriting was simply unsightly, she was shocked by Concubine De for a long time.

"but……."

"kindness?"

Xiaoyi raised her eyebrows, "Did I learn something from my aunt?"

Chun Xing nodded, "My maidservant Erniang can read. She taught my younger brother to read when he was a child, but she almost forgot about it after a long time. After entering the palace, she learned a little from the aunt of Chuxiu Palace, and she could barely read the account books."

There was a hint of surprise in Xiaoyi's eyes, which saved her from having to teach others.Chun Xing, who was kneeling with her head bowed, didn't see that her younger brother's future was still in Fujin's hands, so it would be nice if she could get Fujin's reuse.

"Well, Ben Fujin just got married and is not yet familiar with everything in the palace, so I have to rely on you for many things."

Chun Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but the rules on her body were not far behind.Xiaoyi looked even more satisfied, such a slave who knows how to measure is the most trouble-free to use.

"You are in the palace, do you have any familiar sisters?"

"Sister Chuntao from Chuxiu Palace has a good relationship with slaves..."

Chun Xing pointed out a lot of people, Xiaoyi nodded, and it was exactly what Wu Nanny said.Before asking her to come, Xiaoyi knew in her heart that although Chun Xing was not impressive in appearance, she had a good relationship with some servants and was flexible in her mind.

"You are like this!"

Xiaoyi clung to her ear and whispered, "Well done, Ben Fujin will have his own reward."

Chun Xing went down in panic, and Xiao Yi played the sheng with a drum and lute, and together they picked up the things in the warehouse and the dowry.Yinzhen's storehouse has a lot of smiles, although there is no Li's corruption from it, but he doesn't have many good things for a bald elder brother.Xiaoyi is very fortunate now that she didn't honor the Concubine De's money, otherwise it would be a problem to reward only with the little inventory of the fourth elder brother.

"Just that red sandalwood screen..."

When Yinzhen came back from warming up his books in the study, he saw Fujin packing things in full swing.Looking at the object, he was very satisfied, turned around and took a box from the bed.

"Just this one, the screen is too big."

Xiaoyi curled her lips, they were going to see Aunt Su Ma later.Aunt Su Ma believes in Buddhism, so she chose this red sandalwood screen with different Guanyin embroidered on the front and back, so it is a perfect gift for her.Although the green sandalwood Buddha beads are also very suitable, but is it as valuable as hers?

"Master, it's the first time we go, so let's take them with us."

Yinzhen nodded noncommittally, but thought in his heart that Fujin had given out a lot of dowry during this time, so he had to find something to make up for her later.

Seeing the stubborn fourth master listen to persuasion like this, Xiaoyi was a little surprised and puzzled.She asked Gu Se to dress herself up, while she groped for Fourth Master's abnormality and Aunt Su Ma's preferences.

"What do you think?"

"Thinking..., the words turned around, thinking about what Aunt Su Ma likes."

"Aunt Su Ma is indifferent by nature, and has been praying for the royal family for the past few years."

It's so abnormal that I even took the initiative to ask and explain.The doubts in Xiaoyi's eyes were revealed, seeing her innocent and ignorant expression, the corners of Yinzhen's mouth slightly raised, "The ones we brought are not bad."

Aunt Su Ma's residence is not far from the Ci Ning Palace. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a little elder brother who was about the same age as the thirteenth elder brother, sitting in the yard eating snacks.Seeing the two coming, he wiped the crumbs from his mouth, arched his hands and bent slightly towards the two,

"Greetings to the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law are auspicious."

Xiaoyi helped her up, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Xiaoshi has grown a lot taller."

Children like to hear this sentence the most, Yinxuan smiled and rolled his eyes, rubbed against Xiaoyi's arms, and stood up straight again embarrassedly.

Yinzhen looked at the somewhat shy twelfth younger brother, and complex emotions flashed in his heart.This younger brother and her mother-in-law Dingfei have always thought about it. After that bastard Hongli came to the throne, the two of them lived for nearly 30 years.It's just that in his previous life, in order to pave the way for Hongli, he demoted him to be a general of Zhenguo.Thinking of that useless son, after all, he was the one who was sorry for the twelfth brother.

Yinzhen, who is guilty, treats Yinxuan very gently, which makes Xiao Twelve, who is used to the cold face of the fourth brother, very uncomfortable. After entering the house, he ran to Su Ma's side.

"Aunt Su Ma, how are you doing recently?"

"My maidservant sends greetings to Si Age and Si Fujin."

Before La Aunt Su Ma could bend down, Xiaoyi stepped forward to hold her arm and helped her to the front seat.

"You are an elder, there is no reason to salute us, so don't discourage us."

After going through a lot of such things, Su Ma was not polite anymore, and after saying that courtesy must not be broken, she pulled the two of them to sit down.La Aunt Su Ma was really happy to deliver the prepared gift, and immediately ordered someone to put it in the room.

"This is clothes made for Elder Brother Twelve. My mother-in-law also believes in Buddhism. I specially copied a copy of the Diamond Sutra for Aunt Su Ma."

Yinzhen glanced at Fujin in surprise, feeling a little suspicious in her heart, was she not interested in these things at all in her previous life?Starting over for a lifetime, Fujin's changes seem to be a little big?

Silently suppressing his doubts in his heart, he also joined in front of Aunt Su Ma to perform his filial piety.The twelfth younger brother he taught in the previous life had never been involved in the dispute for storage.To live a new life, Yinzhen doesn't want to be so tired anymore. He has always admired the wisdom of the old man in front of him, and he is willing to exchange a few more words.

The most important thing between people is sincerity.Su Ma has lived for so many years, and her recognition of people is even more vicious. She also felt the serious attitudes of Xiaoyi and Yinzhen.But looking at Yinxuan beside her, she didn't want to get too close to any other prince, so she just said a few words in a flat and polite manner.

For this result, Xiaoyi was a little disappointed.But she also knows that it is not easy to get the favor of anyone in the palace, and she understands this truth better than anyone else in her second life.Therefore, Xiaoyi's attitude remained the same, holding the hand of Elder Brother Twelve, and listening carefully to Su Ma's words.Her attitude of neither arrogance nor impetuosity will let Su Mala and Aunt Gao take a look at it.

"Fourth master is a noble man, and Sifu Jin is also a lucky person. This is this person, there are times in fate, and there is always time in fate, so don't force it. You have to be open to everything."

Su Ma's words gave Xiaoyi a lot of inspiration. She has been busy in the past few days after marrying into the palace, taking revenge on those people based on the memories of her previous life.But the most terrifying thing is always the unknown. Since she has decided to live a new life, she will always laugh and be happy like the hope that Ama put in when she named her name, but she is still blinded by hatred these days.

She doesn't need to pay much attention to those things that are clear in her heart.The important thing is that she should take advantage of these advantages, live in the present leisurely, and strive for greater benefits for the family.

Yinzhen was also touched, the two thanked the wise old man, and walked back to elder brother's place in silence.Just entering the courtyard, I happened to meet Mrs. Li who was delivering soup, Xiaoyi smiled at her,
"Sister Li's handicraft is not bad, master try it?"

Seeing such an amiable Fujin, Li shuddered, and suddenly had a premonition in her heart that Fujin seemed to be more difficult to deal with.Thinking of the words sent by Empress Defei, she still bit her bullet and picked up the soup pitifully.

"Go back, don't go out of the backyard casually in the future."

Yinzhen's words broke Li's last insistence, she handed the soup to Su Peisheng, and stepped back, with shame, resentment and a little doubt in her eyes.Xiaoyi looked at the two of them and finally felt it.

Fourth Master's attitude towards Li Shi is completely different from his previous life!
