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

Chapter 146

Yinzhen didn't dare to tell Zhou Ting the biggest secret hidden in his heart, so he just squeezed her hand tightly and held her in his arms for the whole night. Zhou Ting woke up the next day with sore bones all over her body, shaking her hands and twisting. Stretch your feet and urge Pearl to change clothes for her.

Every house has to wear red during the new year. Although the concubines can't wear red, they have to wear magenta and silver red. The materials of the clothes are all made with great effort. Pearl is frowning, and it's difficult according to Zhou Ting's intention. No matter how red it is, there has just been a funeral at home, and no matter how Chinese New Year is, you can’t go out in red without thinking, but this matter has not been reported to the top, and the New Year’s festival is full of brightly colored clothes. If you wear plain clothes, you must make a fool of yourself among your masters.

Pearl pondered for a long time, and picked out a dark green dress embroidered with clusters of flowers with dark gold thread. Zhou Ting didn't wear this dress much, the color was too heavy, and once she wore it, she looked old-fashioned. At this time, it is just right to take it out and wear it.

Zhou Ting nodded, and picked out a few pieces of jewelry from the box. She didn't wear a gold headgear. The gold bracelet on her wrist had already retreated, and she picked out a set of white jade headgear inlaid with gemstones.

The eldest girl and the second girl know more things than Hongzhao. Hongzhao hasn’t woken up yet, but the eldest girl and the second girl have come here together. These days, when the sun clears, they refuse to be hugged by the nanny, and they walk from their yard hand in hand. Come to Zhou Tingyinzhen's main courtyard.

They also changed out of their big red coats early, because they were not going to take them into the palace, the pink crystal tourmalines changed the two girls into lake blue shirts from top to bottom. Picked two pink butterflies for them.

As soon as Er Niu saw Zhou Ting, she threw herself into Zhou Ting's arms, her tone extremely wronged: "Is Er Niang feeling better?"

Zhou Ting patted her head and smiled at her: "Er Niang is fine, is Er Niu afraid?"

Er Niu tilted her head up and showed a little smile. She didn't understand what was going on when she died. She only knew that Hong Yun couldn't get up all the time, and she was afraid that Zhou Ting would not be healthy. She laughed when she heard her question: "Sister Sleep with me, I'm not afraid."

The big girl Erniu stood beside Zhou Ting, one on the left and one on the right. Yinzhen came out from the inner room and hugged them one by one: "Today, stay inside the house obediently and don't run around." I don’t know who I followed, but I’m very honest, looking at Di Didi, in fact, I like to take a house full of cats and dogs to sneak into the garden, and when I arrive in Yuanmingyuan, I’m like a puppy who is having fun, and refuses to stay honest in the snow in the house.

The first seven days have not passed yet, so they can't be sent, the children's eyes are clean, and Yinzhen doesn't want them to go to places like mourning halls, so it's all right for him to hold a stick of incense, thinking about telling Fei Cui: "Look at it carefully. Hold on to the two princesses, and when Brother Hongzhao and Brother Xiao wake up, take them all together, in the Xishao Room, and talk about it when your master comes back."

Zhou Ting was also very satisfied with this arrangement, even if Yinzhen didn't say anything, she would have ordered so. She hugged Er Niu and weighed it, and added: "When Hongshi finishes putting incense on her head, she will also bring it here, let Mr. Stop the class first," she said, lowering her head and stroking Er Niu: "Listen to my sister." The eldest girl was born a little earlier than Er Niu, but she is more sensible than her, the little man nodded sternly, hearing Ama Erniang added another sentence: "I will watch my younger brothers and sisters."

Everyone in the room watched, and Zhou Ting had nothing to worry about. As long as she didn’t run forward, nothing would happen. After thinking about it, she confessed to Pearl: “Yesterday, Da Gege lost his temper. Drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor can save you a lot.” Effective? You ask someone to ask, just tell her to rest in her own room, no need to rush back and forth."

After everything was explained, Zhou Ting rushed to the palace with Yinzhen. When she arrived at Ningshou Palace, most of the sisters-in-law had arrived. Now that she lives in Yuanmingyuan, it is not as convenient as in the past in the Prince's Mansion. The journey is quite far but never After cutting off greetings once, the empress dowager waved at her when she saw her: "Why didn't Fumin and Fuhui bring you?"

The sharp-eyed sisters-in-law have seen her attire, and after a little thought, they can understand the general idea. When the government is in charge, all the brothers are there, and the news of Yinzhen's concubine's death is also believed.

Zhou Ting smiled slightly: she walked over and sat down to Concubine De's head: "The two monkeys have been shopping very well. Since they went to live in the garden, they have been busy every day. They can't get up today. It's pitiful to see you. left behind."

"Children are also playful. Don't hold them back. Girls can relax for a few years." The empress dowager has never had a few days of good life in her life. At this time, she said it with infinite emotion, and instead persuaded Zhou Ting .

Zhou Ting quickly said yes, it happened that Yiwei came in from the door, her pregnancy was much more expensive than other people's pregnancy, even though her stomach didn't show up at this time, there was a girl holding her hand early, and the sisters-in-law laughed inwardly , but pretended to be affectionate: "Come and sit down, your body won't be able to stand this moment."

I don't blame the sisters-in-law for being ruthless, it's because the eighth elder brother made too much trouble, the first one who confronted her was the third elder brother, and the eldest elder brother and the princes all fell down. Dong Eshi didn't think about it, but he couldn't help feeling that the eighth elder brother was hiding a traitor, and he was so unobtrusive on weekdays that he attracted so many people.

Yiwei couldn't hear it, but she still had a smile on her face, thanked her for a while before sitting down, looked at Zhou Ting from a distance, saw Yining Huirong sitting beside her, they were very affectionate with each other, and quickly rolled their eyes Turning back, no one spoke to her for a while.

It turned out that there was Concubine Hui talking to Yiwei, but now Concubine Hui just treats her like a wooden person, and she doesn't open her mouth easily, she doesn't say a word except please An.The concubine Liang sat far away again, and when this happened, she felt more uncomfortable than others. When she was favored, she only cared about her appearance, and when she got her position, she talked about her background. She suffered more than others. Seeing her daughter-in-law was pregnant I was happy at first, but even if I saw something wrong once or twice, I didn't dare to say it to my face.

The New Year is just a happy time, the sisters-in-law and the empress dowager chatted and laughed for a while, and got together to play a horse hanging, and let Sanfu Jin show the empress dowager cards, and everyone on the table eats first and touches first Once, the empress dowager was anxious, and then fired a cannon to her, and the old man was so happy after two rounds.

Concubine De tugged Zhou Ting's sleeve, pulled her to the window, glanced around and asked, "What's the matter?" Although Zhou Ting was rich and gorgeous, she was completely cold. If there is no gold thread for the bottom, people will see it as soon as they enter the door.

"Don't hide it from my mother," Zhou Ting's eyes were slightly wet. Although she calmed down, she still felt uncomfortable when she thought about it at this moment. After all, she has been supported for five or six years. Zhou Ting never pretended to be someone else when she didn't get close to him. What Yun likes to eat, what books he reads on weekdays, it is right in front of his eyes when he thinks carefully: "This child Hongyun is not blessed, he took a lot of medicine for a cold, and he was fine, but he disappeared the night before."

Concubine De was also silent for a while, she sighed after a long time, and pulled Zhou Ting's hand: "This child is about to grow up, I still want to choose an honest one for him and put it in the room."

After all, it was not as deep as my bond with Hong Hui. After sighing for a while, she reminded Zhou Ting: "Don't say it in front of your ancestors. Although you don't remember who Hong Yun is, it is her great-grandson."

"I'll save it." Zhou Ting nodded in response, Concubine De was called to draw cards with Concubine Yi, the game was in full swing, she didn't like to touch these, and she was really not in the mood to have fun, so she just sat aside and took the fruit in front of her Chewing in her mouth, seeing Yiwei sitting next to her with a plate of hawthorn wrapped in ice cream, she frowned and walked up to stop: "It's just a little bit sticky, don't eat too much."

How could Yiwei not know this, so she couldn't bear to taste it until she tasted it, and she smiled at Zhou Ting when she heard Zhou Ting say this: "I just tasted it, I didn't dare to swallow it." I took out a tray with chewed hawthorn foam inside.

The two had some affection in the past, but now they communicate in a shallow way, so they can't talk much. Yiwei hugged the stove and didn't talk, Zhou Ting didn't know how to start, after a while Huirong came over and pulled her: "Sister-in-law, come quickly!" Help me, I'm going to lose all the bracelets on my hand."

Only then did this embarrassment go away, Yiwei watched the excitement from a distance, put her hands on her stomach, took a bite of the hawthorn on the plate, it was sour to the root of her teeth, she gave a soft "squeak", and the people around her Jingui hurriedly brought honey water, Yiwei swallowed, suddenly lost her appetite, pushed the plate aside, and used her eyes to sneak around the people in the room.

Seeing the ten and nine Fujins standing next to each other, whispering, she couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart. It turned out that she was counting on her husband to stand out among her brothers, so that she would also show up, and don't be a dwarf because of her birth. Still can't get rid of an identity.Seeing others laughing made her feel even more bitter.

The serious mother-in-law and concubine Liang are standing behind the main seat watching the excitement, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her mind is wandering somewhere.Looking at the thirteenth and fourteenth Fujins, one has a son and everything is good, and the other has no son but is a good person with her husband. Yiwei has no taste in her mouth, her eyes flicker to Zhou Ting, and she sighs in her heart , She is the best among the sisters-in-law.

The husband is promising, and although the son is gone, four more came later, and they are still favored by the husband.Across a wall, some things can't be concealed. The newly-arrived Nian family didn't follow into the Yuanmingyuan at all. At night, he started to play the piano, and the clanking sound was endless, as if someone was crying and whispering, disturbing Yiwei Haven't slept well in days.

The intermittent sound sometimes lasted all night. Yiwei couldn't sleep well because she was pregnant. This torment made her eyes turn blue, but it happened to be the concubine of someone else's house. She couldn't sleep. The smile on Zhou Ting's face made her feel her heart flustered, she stood up and went slowly: "Sister-in-law Si is so excited, but I disturbed that Fujin in your mansion so much that I couldn't sleep, why did you all go to Yuanmingyuan?" , but left her alone in the mansion."

Everyone who was drawing cards stopped, Zhou Ting raised her face, the astonishment in her eyes flashed away, she looked at Yi Wei and saw that she showed regret as soon as she spoke, and smiled lightly: "What the eighth brother and sister said But Nianshi?"

The sisters-in-law exchanged glances with each other, Concubine Liang frowned, Concubine De frowned slightly, Concubine Yi closed her mouth and did not speak, the Empress Dowager was fumbling at her cards and hadn't remembered which Nian Shi was from. , the tortoiseshell glasses on her nose slid down, she held them up with her hand, and was about to ask, when Zhou Ting laughed.

"This Nian's body is very weak. The first day he came to pay his respects, he fainted in my room. Because of this, the eldest girl and the second girl fell ill. When I saw her, I was afraid. Our father was afraid that she would scare the child again. That's why we don't ask her to follow her into the garden, and we'll talk about it only after her body is healed." Zhou Ting's words were soft, but her meaning was very clear. No one should interfere with her family's affairs, even In this matter, it is impossible for Nian to get close to her again.

The empress dowager put down the ivory card: "No wonder you said that the eldest girl and the second girl are sick. I looked at that little face and it made a circle." After thinking for a long time, I remembered a Tingting shadow, and frowned first: " Since you are not in good health, why are you still leaning in front of you, the few of you are still young."

Thanks to the blessing of the big girl and the second girl, the empress dowager also remembers the sour plum soup Hongzhao, and the youngest child, the fifth elder brother, the two daughters are very self-conscious about being older sisters, and they have to tell the empress dowager about any novelty, the empress dowager When I get older, I get along better with children. What Hongzhao put his feet into his mouth, and the little brother spit out snot and bubbles and cried a lot, which made the empress dowager laugh out loud, and made the children of Zhou Ting's family laugh. Remember it firmly, when it comes to affection, it is naturally different.

Yiwei regretted her words as soon as she uttered them. She was more impatient than before. She was a little ashamed of Zhou Ting, and she didn't know why she said such words by accident. I still play the piano, and it lasts until midnight, and the fourth sister-in-law sent someone to take a look, I can't bear it at night."
