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

Chapter 114

It is a great joy for the fourth elder brother to have a son-in-law. Concubine De got the letter when she paid her respects in the empress dowager's palace.When Wanyan gave birth to a son before, she hoped in her heart that she could bring blessings to Zhou Ting. For this, she specially asked for the newborn's small clothes to send over. Even worse than when Wanyan gave birth to her son.

As expected, this child is destined to be with her, and the joy on Concubine De's face could not be concealed, and the Empress Dowager was also happy to appreciate many things, Zhou Ting was confinement, Concubine De stood up and thanked her: " The old ancestors are blessed, and the set of tents with hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren did not reward her in vain."

When she was pregnant, she naturally wanted to please her. Fumin Fuhui often followed Zhou Ting in and out of the Ningshou Palace. She deliberately narrowed the relationship between the two daughters and the Empress Dowager. Mother Ku often brought them in, and the Empress Dowager was naturally happy when she heard this.After going back and forth, I really got emotional, and I couldn't stop nagging after seeing each other for a few days.

The Empress Dowager laughed from ear to ear: "People say that children have the most eloquent mouths. Fu Min Fu Hui insisted that their mother-in-law was going to give birth to a younger brother, and they did." Forgetting about the big girl Er Niu who was her favorite, she pointed to several bolts of satin and said, "I'll make some good clothes for the two of them when I'm done."

Young and old, the older the empress dowager, the more she likes to stay with the younger generation. The two neatly dressed girls called her "Mother Wuku" delicately, and counted what they ate with her every day. Drink something, sleep for a few quarters of an hour, it will make her very happy.

Concubine De got up again and thanked her with blessings: "It's a pity to use such fine satin to make clothes for children, but I can save them and make them when I'm older."

At home, the children are all dressed plainly, and this is even more so when they enter the palace. The daughters of the crown prince’s family are not required to be filial, and the princess is also restricting them from wearing red and green dresses. Yes, pay more attention.Er Niu likes beautiful clothes, seeing the shiny satin hemmings on everyone's palace clothes, she is very envious, and often touches them with her hands. The empress dowager likes them to obey the rules, but she pities them little people who have to endure their temper and wear plain clothes. When I got the chance, I rewarded the things I had prepared in advance.

Concubine De wanted to be self-effacing, but the smile on her lips was even stronger. All the concubines in the room were congratulating her, and there were also those who hadn't given birth like Ji Dafujin, who were anxious and forced their faces, Hui The concubine was worried again when she saw her son, and her son was more and more different from her. She said something from her heart. It turned out that the daughter-in-law could persuade the eldest brother, but now it is useless. If the two can really have a child, they can. It's better, and I'm afraid I've wronged Hong Yu, and I envy Concubine De for her auspicious words: "The ancestors have many grandsons and long lives."

Concubine Yi knew that Concubine De had given Zhou Ting a small dress, so she wanted to give one to Yinzhen's daughter-in-law to attract a son, but she suspected that it would only be useful between brothers born from the same mother. Yes, but Yinqi and his daughter-in-law respect each other like ice, Yinzhen still has a daughter-in-law, and Yinqi doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, so she sighs and reveals her envy.

Dong E's family can still sit still, after all, she has a daughter, and she has already shed the title of being unable to have children.He Lashi had a stiff smile on his face, and his heart was as bitter as bile. Yin Qi was simply surrounded by two concubines, and he usually didn't enter her room. But there are very few moments of harmony, how could she possibly get pregnant, she turned her eyes away when she was embarrassed, and she saw the eighth Fujin at a glance, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine De has stayed in the palace for so many years, she just spoke to the higher-ups, and she also took a panoramic view of the expressions of the people below. Those envious eyes made her feel satisfied. It's really not that many, like Yinzhen's family has sons and daughters, and it's clean and not noisy, naturally there are even fewer.

Yiwei felt extremely bitter, and had to say something funny on this occasion, her hands pressed tightly to her legs and she couldn't help gritting her teeth. This person's fortune is really different. I thought Sifujin was the least blessed among the sisters-in-law, although I once had a son who was about to grow up and was sick, and he had to bring the concubine's children with him, but in a blink of an eye, he had both children again. Like her, the husband who is the most considerate and the most enviable, now the situation is reversed. The most embarrassing.

The concubines were chatting and laughing, and the concubine was a bit reluctant, but San Fujin had sons and daughters, and when he talked about congratulations, he was very sincere, and he was thinking about giving some birth gifts.

When Zhou Ting woke up, the child had been cleaned and wrapped and placed beside her. Seeing that she woke up, Ma Nao hurriedly took honey water to moisten her throat. Zhou Ting drank two cups before recovering.

Manao's face was full of joy: "Master, I don't know. I didn't close my eyes last night. When I went to court today, there was wind under my feet. When I went to the front yard, Eunuch Su couldn't keep up."

Aunt Wusu brought up the chicken soup, and squinted at the agate: "You talk a lot, and you don't rush to get food for the master. You are going to make up for it now." Although she said this in her mouth, the smile on her face But it was no less than agate. Seeing Zhou Ting took a spoon and drank the soup, she couldn't hold back and said again: "My Lord has already ordered, since I'm still in the filial piety, I won't hang the red silk for now, only the servants in the mansion will wear a pair of clothes." month's money."

Before Zhou Ting finished drinking the soup, Pearl came in again: "The two little princesses are arguing to come in, saying that they want to see the little elder brother." Everyone in the room had smiles on their faces, and their steps were much lighter. She could feel a different atmosphere in the yard without going out, and she herself was relieved. With her son, her position in the back house would be more stable.

She nodded: "The smell has almost dissipated. Tell the mother to take the child to the east room to show them. I'd better wait here before letting them come."

The big girl and the second girl finally saw the little brother, and the two identical faces poked out in front of the little baby. The big girl said, "Why is he so red?"

Er Niu didn't care: "Brother Hongshi must be born red, I don't know what he wants to be called red." She propped her chin and looked curiously at the soft and fluffy lanugo on his head: "His How come you have less hair than mine?"

Pearl laughed when she heard this, and told them, "Hong Zi'er is the younger master's descendant, and the elder brothers of the clan are arranged according to Hong Zi'er."

The big girl had already touched her younger brother's face with her finger: "Why is he so soft." Just as he was talking, the little baby wrinkled his nose and yawned. Call again: "He opened his mouth and opened his mouth!"

Er Niu was startled, she pulled Pearl's clothes and asked, "Why doesn't he have any teeth? Where are his teeth?"

As soon as Da Gege entered the door, he first greeted Zhou Ting through the screen, and after a few greetings, he entered the Nuan Pavilion. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "It's not just him, you were born toothless."

Erniu didn't believe it, so she lay down on the edge of the glass window and opened her mouth to shine her teeth: "Big sister is lying!" Erniu pouted unhappy, Da Gege patted her head: "If you don't believe me, go Ask my mother."

Er Niu ran into the inner room with her arms open like a bird. Ma Nao wanted to stop her, but she slipped through the space between her arms in a flash. Zhou Ting lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her face was not good Erniu choked on what she was about to ask. She thought Zhou Ting was sick, so she approached her and lowered her voice and called her softly, "Er Niang?"

After a while, the big girl also came over. The two of them saw that Hong Yun was sick. It was nothing to play with Hong Shi, but being naughty with Hong Yun was to be reminded by the nuns. At this time, they thought that Zhou Ting was also sick, so they swallowed about to cry.

Hongyun Hongshi entered the door later, Hongshi heard Erniu's voice and came over, three little faces protruded from the edge of the bed, Zhou Ting wanted to pretend to be sleeping to tease Erniu, but then opened her eyes: "Er Niu is just tired , to sleep for a while."

Da Niu quickly reached out to cover Er Niu's mouth, Hong Shi took Er Niu's hand, and quietly retreated step by step, Bi Yu brought purple rice porridge over, and they stretched out their hands to stop her: "Er Niu is tired, she needs to sleep Woolen cloth."

Biyu held back a smile and agreed, and waited for the younger ones to go to the Nuan Pavilion, and quietly brought them in to Zhou Ting. She shook her head, "Let's put it aside, I don't feel hungry yet." After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, now I only feel my chest swell, as if it is about to give milk.

"Let Pearl bring in the prepared gauze." Zhou Ting felt stronger after lying down all day, and wanted to wrap her lower abdomen with gauze first, which was what she did last time, and Madam Wusu couldn't stop her Wait, later saw that her waist was thinner again, and her skin was fine and firm. This time before she could speak, Pearl was already getting ready.

Zhou Ting stood still on the couch, Pearl and Agate took gauze and wrapped her up layer by layer, Pearl also said: "It was hot at that time, and I didn't dare to use ice. It's cooler now. It's much better to be pestered by the master like this."

The windows in the room can't be opened for ventilation, but the windows of the warm pavilion are far away to let in the air. Zhou Ting didn't feel uncomfortable after taking fresh melons and fruits in to smell the smell. Yes, soft with some warm fragrance.

Zhou Ting fell on the bed and felt that she had strength all over her body. Her mood was different from Yinzhen's, and her anticipation for this son was even stronger. Now that she had let go of the burden in her heart, her face was rosy and her eyes were bright, smiling. One order after another began to return the gift.

Huirong really gave birth to a daughter this time, but the Guerjia family did not seize the opportunity to follow Yinxiang to the southern tour, but brought another concubine to follow. Huirong's move is still the same as Wanyan's What I learned from the family, even if she is pregnant, the status of the child is too low, and even if she grows up, she can't compete for anything.

Seeing that Zhou Ting gave birth to a son, she sent gifts and asked for small clothes at the same time. Wan Yan's had already sent her a set, but she felt that Zhou Ting had a daughter, and she herself gave birth to a daughter, so she said no. Soon followed by the son.

Yinzhen hadn't come back yet, but Yiwei came first, congratulating her as soon as she entered the room, the smile on her face was very bright, Zhou Ting sighed for her in her heart, silently guessing that she came to ask for small clothes again?The baby had just been born and had gone through so many clothes, and now it was just wrapped in swaddling clothes.

But she didn't expect that what she wanted were the chopsticks buried by Yinzhen himself when Zhou Ting was first pregnant. Zhou Ting was speechless with her mouth open. Yiwei also knew that this request was a little too much, but she still held her hand, her voice full of words. Some pleading: "I really have no other way. The fourteenth siblings gave birth to a son earlier, but I couldn't open my mouth no matter what. I didn't ask for a boy. I just wanted to be able to conceive one."

She had already made up her mind, and Zhou Ting slowly persuaded her: "The chopsticks can only be buried when you are pregnant. Our family uses the chopsticks that our grandfather used to eat on weekdays. Why don't you bury the chopsticks that your grandfather used?" When Yinzhen was pregnant with her first child, Yinzhen buried a pair of ebony and gold-inlaid chopsticks. This time Zhou Ting only asked him to bury them with the usual ones. Unexpectedly, Yiwei would come to beg. It is already old.

The things I have used can no longer be leaked outside. A few days ago, Yiwei brought He Zhuo's daughter by her side, and her mental state has improved a lot, but her sister-in-law's frequent births stimulated her nerves again.The lotus seed gave birth to such a big sin, but she offered delicious food and drink. No matter how much she hated in her heart, she never stopped Yinhu from going to her room, but she didn't believe her at all.Now that one year of filial piety is added, Yinhu will be 30 years old, and there is no child in the family, so it can't be justified.

Zhou Ting knew that she felt uncomfortable. There was no precedent for the royal family to divorce their wives, and Kangxi would never do such a thing if he wanted to save face. Yiwei is not alone, girls in her family are having a hard time getting married.Holding Yiwei's hand, Zhou Ting hesitated and said, "Why don't you guys wait longer."

Yiwei didn't understand what she meant at first, but she realized it after she lowered her voice and said it again. She didn't care about being shy and tightened her fingers and stared at Zhou Ting's face with burning eyes: "Really?"

Zhou Ting is really embarrassed to tell her this. She has heard of it before. It is not easy to have children if the husband and wife are too affectionate. Seeing Yiwei like this, she must have been inseparable with Yinhu since she was newly married. The longer the time interval, the easier it is to conceive.She vaguely told Yiwei the algorithm of ovulation period. In fact, the ancients also knew this truth. How could the nuns in the palace not teach Yiwei? So what happened.

After finally persuading her to go away, Zhou Ting lost her energy. She lay on the bed and let Pearl massage her scalp. The quilt made her eyebrows dyed like ink, and she fell asleep in a daze. She also heard the second girl outside shouting "Ama" faintly, and quickly lowered her voice.

As soon as Yinzhen entered the door, he was stopped by the big girl Erniu. Erniu opened her arms to be hugged by him, and as soon as she stuck to him, she quickly chirped and told Yinzhen: "Little brother has no teeth!" Erniu was very worried His delicate eyebrows frowned, and his mouth was slightly pursed: "What if he's hungry?"

The big girl pulled the corner of Yinzhen's robe, and Yinzhen had to lower her head. The big girl put her fingers up in front of her mouth: "Hush... my mother is tired, she is sleeping."

Yinzhen was full of joy and had no place to vent, hugging the two treasures and kissing each other loudly, the second girl covered her face with both hands: "Amaza people."

Yinzhen laughed loudly, and carried one into the inner room with one hand. Seeing that Zhou Ting had her eyes closed, the father and daughter looked at her with silence. Yinzhen put the two children on the couch, sat on the edge of the bed by himself, and took the Rubbing Zhou Ting's cheek with the back of his hand, other people's vitality would be greatly weakened after giving birth, but she became more plump after giving birth. He raised his hand to gather her loose hair together.

The big girl and the second girl stared at Yinzhen with good eyes, and saw Ama lowered her head and made a light imprint on Eniang's face. The second girl patted the edge of the bed, her half-kneeling body straightened up, and pointed at Yinzhen. Shaking her head straight: "No sound!" The big girl straightened up and shook her head, both of them stared at him with round and watery eyes like black grapes, and their pouting mouths were exactly the same.

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, Zhou Ting raised her eyelashes after being made such a fuss by them, and was about to wake up, Yinzhen lowered her head and smelled "ba da" on her face, looked at his two little daughters and asked : "No ring."
