It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 108

When Sheng Jia returned to the imperial court, the elder brothers naturally had to welcome him first and then return to the palace with Kangxi. Yin Zhen was sent by him to monitor Fuquan's condition, so he had to wait until Yuqian finished questioning before returning.

Although Zhou Ting was not a busy person, her back was sore all the way. Zhu Zhen took her hand and went to the main courtyard, with a smile on her face and a low voice picking up the most important things to share with Zhou Ting. back,
No matter how anxious Zhou Ting was, she still had to take care of the housework when she got home, even putting her precious daughter, whom she hadn't seen for more than three months, behind her.

The trip to the prairie also brought some things. When Yinzhen came back, he was very frugal, and Zhou Ting brought all these things back. The things were divided up early, but today they all have to be sent to the palace.The Empress Dowager De Concubine was naturally indispensable, and the sisters-in-law who did not go also had their own gifts. The agates were affixed one by one.

The little girl poured warm water, Pearl twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Zhou Ting. Before she could wipe her face, she asked, "Tell me about Mrs. Li." Sitting in the car for four or five hours was unbearable for anyone, so Zhou Ting shook off the towel and covered her face, letting the heat relax the pores.

Pearl paused, she didn't know that Yinzhen wanted to marry Da Gege into Nala's family, she thought that when Zhou Ting came back, she would first ask about the master's daily life and then the two little Gege's birthdays, but she didn't want her to ask Da Gege first .Da Gege really has nothing to do in Zhenzhu's heart, Li Fangfujin is already dead, what else can Da Gege do.

Feeling strange, she still sorted out the matter and reported it to Zhou Ting: "The funeral of Li Fangfujin was entrusted by Madam Gu to do it, and Madam Gu lit a lamp for Li Fangfujin in Tanzhe Temple. , and the others are all according to the rules, and have not been crossed. The big princess was a little sad, but Dai Nanny persuaded Fang to be better, and now come to see the two little princesses every now and then." Pearl saw Zhou Ting tearing off The towel was still frowning, feeling a little uneasy, and walked up to take the towel and asked softly, "What is the master worried about?"

Zhou Ting waved her hand, she still doesn't know whether this matter was planned by Da Gege or Yinzhen's impromptu idea.No, if Da Gege had the brains to arrange a home for himself, he wouldn't be fooling around with Mrs. Li.Or did Mrs. Li finally miss her daughter before she died?
"Let's change your clothes first." Zhou Ting changed into a half-new home clothes, thinking about the big thing while pointing Pearl: "Take out the plain clothes first, and then open the warehouse to get some clothes materials for preparation." Let's go." Fuquan didn't know if he could survive this summer, no matter whether Kangxi ordered it or not, the whole family had to put on a show.

"Wait for Little Gege to wake up and bring them here." Only after going to the grassland did she really know the living conditions there. She also met Princess Heshuo Duanmin this time. According to her seniority, Zhou Ting called her aunt.She is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager. She is an aunt and nephew by blood, and a mother and daughter by etiquette. She married the grandchildren of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's natal family and has always been favored by her. Kangxi had to call her elder sister.

She has been married to the grassland for so many years, but she is just not used to the life there, and has always maintained the living habits in the Forbidden City.Agate came in with tea, and the tray was gently placed on the Kang table. Zhou Ting regained her senses and smiled slightly: "You and Jade are both exhausted, so go down and take a rest. It's enough to have pearls here to serve you."

Agate answered in a low voice, and gave Pearl a wink when she left. Pearl knew that Da Gege was the crux of Zhou Ting's restlessness, but she didn't know why. Aunt Wusu went to Fumin Fuhui's house. When Zhou Ting came over, she asked, "During the past few days, have you ever asked me about my natal family?"

"I asked about it before, but only about the second master." Aunt Wusu has followed for many years, and she is no longer familiar with the affairs of Nala's family: "Master asked how many young masters there are in the servant's second master's family."

Naturally, the question was born in the first place. The older Defu is married and has a son, but the younger Delu is really young, even if he is two years behind the elder Gege.

But the daughter of the clan, Delu is already sixteen, it is the age of getting married outside, Zhou Ting bit her lip, and before she could figure it out, Aunt Wusu had already covered her mouth: "Master, this is it!" As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Da Gege's room, Zhou Ting nodded helplessly, and Mother Wusu's eyes almost burst into flames, any one of those things mentioned before would be enough to throw Da Gege to death. Far away, out of sight and out of mind.How could the Lord have such thoughts!
"When Mrs. Li passed away, did she ever have a private conversation with Da Gege?"

"No, the servant is watching closely, and the two of Bing Xin and Jade Pot dare not hide it." It was Pearl who answered, and she also understood the seriousness of the situation. She glanced at Aunt Wusu, no wonder the master would Let Big Gege come over every day to play with the younger sisters, and let Aunt Wusu teach her how to manage the house.

Since it is not the Li family, then there is only Yinzhen.Not only Zhou Ting thought of it, but Madam Wusu also thought of it. Her eyes blushed and she shed tears, and her voice was choked up as she gritted her teeth: "How can this be done!"

Seeing her reaction so big, Zhou Ting came to her senses. For Madam Wusu, this matter was totally unacceptable. Since Yinzhen knew that Mrs. Li had done those things, why did she still have to marry Da Gege into the Nala family? Well, does he really love this daughter so much?

"Master must never agree!" Mother Wusu took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears: "This servant can't bear it anymore. I am trying to gouge master's heart."

"Don't spread this word yet, keep it a secret from me, and don't let Da Gege hear the wind." If she beats the snake to the stick, if it is done, there will be no room for change.She has to think about what to do everywhere, and she has to see how firm Yinzhen is on this matter.

"The slave understands, the master must ask the master to get rid of this idea." Aunt Wusu was very sad for Zhou Ting: "Besides, there is no suitable one."

This is making excuses for Zhou Ting, she nodded: "Light some soothing incense, I am very tired, rest for a while." She leaned her head on the pillow, Pearl closed the curtain, and took out the incense After clicking on it, he retreated to the door, exchanged glances with Madam Wusu and remained silent.

Yinzhen first picked up the holy driver with all the brothers. Before Kangxi could return to the palace, he went to Prince Yu's mansion first. Yinzhen followed around. From the prescription and pharmacology to the small things such as how many mouthfuls of porridge Fuquan ate in the morning, Kangxi asked all the way. , nodded secretly, and said in his heart that it was right to leave this matter to Yinzhen, and he really did everything properly.

As soon as he entered Prince Yu's mansion, Baotai greeted him with red eye circles, choked up and called "Khan Ama" and couldn't speak anymore. Kangxi patted him on the shoulder and followed him all the way to the backyard.

There were several basins of ice in the corner of the room, and a few maids were holding fans to blow the wind gently. Fuquan could neither suffer from heat nor cold, and every time his body moved, he coughed violently. As soon as Kangxi entered the room, he went straight to the couch , Fuquan's eyes were already cloudy, and he tried to lift his eyelids to look at him.

Kangxi held Fuquan's hand tightly, and couldn't open his mouth for a long time. Fuquan waited until now until Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, but his voice was louder than usual. His eyes turned around Baotai's body, Then he looked at the elder brothers who followed him.

Kangxi knew what he wanted and waved his hands: "Go out and let me have a few words with your uncle."

Yinhu has been standing with Baotai all the time, Fuquan naturally saw him first, he tried his best to hold up his energy and finished explaining what happened behind him, and then talked about these elder brothers, he has been honest and responsible all his life, this is the last time he can talk freely with his younger brother Opportunity: "Baotai is entrusted to the emperor. He has the same temperament as me. I am afraid that the emperor will protect him."

Kangxi nodded again and again: "Your descendants are my descendants, and I will definitely protect them." He could not help but choke up as he said that, and he felt his heart tremble while touching Fuquan's withered hand.

"Brother Ba is a good boy, always gentle..." Fuquan coughed violently before he finished speaking. Kangxi supported him and patted his back. It took him a long time to recover, but the conversation stopped: "He and Baotai We've always been friends." After these few words, Fu Quan lost his strength, lay on the bed panting for a long time and added: "There is also the fourth elder brother, I didn't know that he is cold-faced and warm-hearted. "

After saying this, he couldn't open his mouth again, only gasped, Kangxi listened silently, with tears in his eyes, and wanted to feed him a bowl of medicine, but he couldn't take a sip.The elder brothers waited outside for a long time, the elder brother and the prince were all expressionless, and Fuquan did not stand in line. In their eyes, he was an irrelevant person, and this irrelevant person had such a great influence on Kangxi. It's a good thing.

Kangxi supported Liang Jiugong's hand and came out. Looking up, Baotai was in great grief. The two sons he valued the most, the prince and elder brother, did not see any pain. He felt lost, and his steps were extremely heavy. Baotai ordered a few words, and when Yinzhen had already arranged such an answer, he nodded at his fourth son, and walked out slowly holding Liang Jiugong's hand.

Yinzhen had nothing to go back at this time, standing behind the third elder brother according to order, Khan Ama looked even sadder than the previous time, perhaps because he was older than before, the death of Uncle King was the responsibility of Khan Ama The feeling is deeper, Yinzhen knows Baotai's character very well, even if Fuquan has no time to say it, Baotai will ask him to explain everything he handles clearly.

In addition to this, Yinzhen also found out the reason why Fuquan had been delayed for three years. He didn't remember all the imperial physicians. He used almost all the senior and virtuous imperial physicians to see Fuquan. Tang Zhongbin, who entered Taitai Hospital to teach outside.

It took Yinzhen several detours to find him out. He worked in the imperial hospital for three or four years, and finally got a chance to be promoted to a student. Following the classics of imperial medicine, he often had amazing theories. It was he who proposed to give Fuquan poppy to relieve pain.

The imperial physicians want nothing wrong, how dare they make such a decision, not to mention that he is still a student in the foreign teacher's training hall, even if he is an imperial physician, three or five people have to study the prescription together to reach a conclusion, one person would not dare to make such an important decision of.

After suppressing him a few times, he didn't feel depressed, and he managed to find Baotai directly, and I don't know what method he used to persuade him to give it a try. The result of the trial was that the pain all over Fuquan's body was relieved a lot.After another two years of hard work, he jumped three grades in a row, and was promoted from teaching students to being a doctor.

No matter how capable he was, the Tai Hospital still moved step by step according to the prescribed promotion system, and he actually calmed down and began to study poppies.This is forbidden by Kangxi's decree, otherwise Yinzhen would not have noticed that this little doctor, the doctor who treated Fuquan was sentenced to an imperial doctor anyway, these people are used to being cautious, how dare they do such a big thing change.

Yinzhen called him over once by inquiring about his condition, but his words were impeccable, and he was very smooth, respectful and flattering, and Yinzhen didn't see anything unusual.Things in this life are slightly different from those in the previous life. Since this person is useful, let him slowly climb up in the imperial hospital.

After leaving Prince Yu's mansion and sending Khan Ama into the palace, Yinzhen rushed home. Zhou Ting had already washed and combed, changed into fresh clothes and led a few children to play in the house. Before entering the room, I heard the laughter of the big girl and the second girl. As soon as the curtain was lifted, the children were all there. Hong Yun was still not enough to see it. Hongshi was arguing with the big girl. Hold him in your arms all the time.

During Zhou Ting's absence for the past few months, Erniu, the big girl, got closer to Yinzhen. When she saw him come in, she made a fuss to let him hug him. Erniu grabbed Yinzhen's neck and refused to let it go, and all her saliva rubbed against his front. .

Yinzhen was not annoyed either, he teased her twice before holding her and sitting next to Zhou Ting: "Are you tired on the road?"

"It was good when I went, but when I came back, I had to travel five or four hours a day, so I was really tired." As soon as the big girl went to Yinzhen's place, she let go of the things in her hands, and Hongshi fell on the limp ground. Even though his head didn't hurt on the mattress, he was coquettish at the top of his voice. Zhou Ting hurriedly carried him to coax him, and the big girl and the two girls hung on Yinzhen's body, and ignored Hongshi.

"Really, I'm not so close when I come back." Zhou Ting hugged Hong Shi and bowed her head to kiss his face, Hong Shi giggled, Yinzhen hugged her two daughters, saw Hong Yun sitting on Da Gege's lap, He leaned against her and was whispering, his heart softened, and he nodded at Hongyun: "Is your body better?"

Hongyun only nodded, but was speechless when facing Yinzhen, Yinzhen sighed in his heart, but Da Gege replied for him: "I have had two activities with Hongshi and two younger sisters, and I can drink half a bowl more than in the past. It's porridge." It's just that the body is still weak, and the other children have put on tulle summer shirts, but he can't stand the cold, not to mention sitting far away from the ice basin, and has to wear another one on his body.

Zhou Ting smiled at the two children. Firstly, Hong Yun was not in good health. Second, when he moved here, he already knew about it. He never got close to Zhou Ting, and Zhou Ting did not force her. , Others can't say anything: "Hongyun's body still needs to be warmed up. Sesame, walnut and almond are all eaten in exchange. What did Hongyun eat today?"

He was not afraid of Zhou Ting's questioning, she pinched the wooden boat Da Gege gave him and said in a low voice: "I ate walnut dew today." One sentence drew Yinzhen's attention back: "I see that his complexion is also much better. "

"Yes, I didn't dare to ask him to move more in the past, because I was afraid of the heat and cold, but now I can walk around the yard." Zhou Ting looked at Hong Yun's slender shoulders, this is not like a seven-year-old child, thinking Then he said: "Last year, he should have been enlightened, but he caught a cold. Now, I will find a gentleman, and it is serious to send him to study in his front yard every day." rule.

Da Gege's heart tightened, and he looked at Yinzhen expectantly. Yinzhen paused for a moment, but he forgot about it: "It's time to study, how do you arrange it?"

"I thought, it's better to wait until the summer is over. The weather in autumn is refreshing, and I have half-day class at the beginning, and then I will add it when Hongyun gets used to it." Zhou Ting looked at Da Gege: "It's just right, I have three little ones here. , hand over Hongyun to Fuya, and ask her to give Hongyun a brief explanation."

Yinzhen was very satisfied with this arrangement. Now that it was settled, he went to tease the two young ones and asked them who was Fu Min and who was Fu Hui. Although the two daughters could not speak, they could understand everything they said. Zhen asked them: "Who is the elder sister?" Fu Min pointed a tender pink finger at herself, and Yin Zhen never tired of doing it.

Seeing them playing together, Zhou Ting went to Da Gege and ordered Ma Nao to take out the four treasures of the study for children. The needleworker had already made a school bag under Zhou Ting's instruction, and now all of them have been dug out. , Hongyun is literate, but not much. He is too weak, and he will be sick every season. How can he learn to read well? As for Yue, ask Hongyun to come to your room every day to learn a few words, so you can get some foundation."

Da Gege was very grateful, she put her arms around Hong Yun and asked him to thank Er Niang, Zhou Ting smiled slightly, and did things for Da Gege so that she would not be idle, so she would have no time to think about other things.
