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

Chapter 17

Not only Yinzhen, but also Zhou Ting is going to enter the palace. Something happened last night, so the palace must spread the word today, even if it doesn't spread, it must go to reassure the hearts of the elders.

Yinzhen shivered uncontrollably, clenched his teeth and thumped the soft kang with his fists. How could he ever lose his composure? Zhou Ting wanted to laugh but didn't dare, and was afraid that he would really get anxious and ignore him. The man couldn't bear it. It's normal to mess around for a while, if you miss the morning, people will definitely only say something wrong with her.

So Zhou Ting stroked him along his hair to distract him: "Master, what happened last night? At least tell me, lest the elders in the palace ask, I just shake my head and don't know."

Yinzhen took a breath, turned over and lay down on the bed, staring at the top of the tent for a long time, and let out a sigh of relief: "The left and right are just the water that the people below accidentally walked on, so don't talk too much when you go there " Thinking of what he saw in the past, he frowned again: "If the eighth brother and sister have something to say, just listen to it." Just as I was about to say don't get too close to her, I felt that Zhou Ting was not that kind of person. A comparison shows that Zhou Ting's whole body is full of cuteness, and she leaned over and made a "tongue" before she got off the kang.

Zhou Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and called the little girl to come in. The women had already boiled hot water and waited. Manao came in to make the bed, shook the quilt lightly, and winked at Pearl in disappointment.

How did the hot water come in and how did it go back? Yinzhen had a cold face and refused to let the little girl dress him. Zhou Ting had just put on a dress and her hair hadn't been combed yet. Looking at the King of Hades, she sighed in her heart. He took a breath, walked over and waved: "Go and prepare breakfast." He bent down to button him and tie his belt.

Yinzhen's eyes never left her hand. Last night he touched the two arms that he refused to let go, and he put on the clothes, as if he could see it. His thin white fingers deftly buttoned from bottom to top and reached the neckline. , the hot air from Yinzhen's nose sprayed on Zhou Ting's fingers.

The most delicious food is what you can't eat. Zhou Ting pursed her lips. She naturally knew why he kept staring at her. Isn't it because he didn't eat, so he was thinking about it.Now that I think about it, she never ordered the kitchen to prepare chicken soup. Where else could the soup he drank come from?
She didn't ask people to prepare it, so people naturally thought about it. Yinzhen hadn't been taken away after drinking the soup, probably because he hadn't eaten it for a long time. In his eyes, the old tree had become a new shoot.

Biyu came in to serve the dishes, and there were still eight side dishes and two bowls of porridge. Seeing Zhou Ting eating bird's nest with a silver spoon, Yinzhen asked for the first time, "Is this better than ginseng?"

Zhou Ting smiled: "The imperial doctor said that my body is still weak, and the bird's nest is warm in nature and nourishes yin, which is better than eating ginseng."

"Since that's the case, I'll ask someone to buy some good ones, and you drink one every day." Zhou Ting had the experience of successfully getting money once, and she was not surprised this time. In fact, he is quite generous. In the past, Mrs. Li often showed off intentionally or unintentionally what good things she got from Yinzhen, but now it seems that it is not too difficult.

Naturally, she had to behave better when she took something. She thanked Yinzhen with a smile, and then asked Manao: "Did Shancha talk back and forth at night?"

"I haven't been here before. I just went to see it and said that Da Gege slept soundly at night and didn't wake up again."

Zhou Ting nodded, and gave Yinzhen a bamboo shoot with chopsticks: "The last time the imperial doctor came, I wanted to ask. Da Gege is weak and looks like he needs to be recuperated. He couldn't sleep well when he heard the sound this night. How can a child's family sleep less, drinking a bowl of milk at night would be better, ask the imperial doctor later, maybe stew milk with bird's nest."

Big Gege is not her own, and she looks so weak, if there is something wrong with Li Shi who can still cry, she can only take full responsibility.You can't tell Yinzhen these things, you can only let him know about small things.It's Da Gege's own poor health, so if something happens, she can't be blamed on it.

"Yeah." Yinzhen didn't care. There were always children in the palace. Could it be that concubines can't be careful when they look at other people's children? It’s up to you, Mrs. Li is useless, you have to take a look at it in your spare time, and beat the subordinates too, the little elder brother is having a bad day, and the name given by Han Ama can’t be settled.”

If the original owner heard these words, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. Zhou Ting has adjusted her mentality to the best these days, and smiled when she heard this: "It may not be that the slaves are wrong. Children's illnesses are most likely to recur. A treasure like a bead, which slave would dare to play tricks under the nose of the master?"

"Master, Bafujin asked you if it's convenient to go into the palace together." Manao interrupted Yinzhen's next words as soon as Zhou Ting finished speaking, and Zhou Ting was impatient to listen, but Even Mrs. Li has worked hard and so on.

These few times of hand-to-hand combat, although Li Shi has been losing ground every step of the way, and her impression of Yinzhen is getting worse and worse, but in fact her biggest trump card is to spend time with him besides her children.People are strange animals. If the first impression is good, even if this person does a small evil, he will excuse her from the heart.

"Go back, tell her I'll wait for her." Zhou Ting wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and the little girl came over with tea to rinse her mouth, "Pick up your forehead and pack it up."

"Is it ready for Er Niang?" Yinzhen asked this for the first time. Nala used to think that these were trivial things, and it would be too petty to say this. Zhou Ting didn't think so, she just wanted to make those needles and threads by herself. Yinzhen knew all about it, and replied very naturally: "No, these days of illness, my hands are a little raw." Then he took it out for Yinzhen to see.

Yinzhen could tell at a glance that it was made according to Concubine De's liking, the patterns were lively and the colors were bright: "Concubine Mother likes these, she will be happier if you make them."

"No, the empress only likes to wear the socks made by the master." Pearl removed the teacup and said jokingly.

"Master, it's almost time." Zhou Ting smiled shyly. Those were all done by Nalashi, but it's none of her business.

In Yinzhen's eyes, she felt that she didn't take any credit and put all her thoughts into practice. It was rare that she didn't specifically let him know. No wonder Concubine De liked her so much.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Song waited in the main hall early in the morning, and they saw Yinzhen and Zhou Ting coming side by side, their behavior was unusual.Mrs. Song was still able to restrain herself, so Mrs. Li was very surprised. She was very familiar with Yinzhen's attitude, and she knew at a glance that he treated Zhou Ting differently.

She made up her mind to find out why Yinzhen came and left last night. When she found out that Mrs. Song had stopped him once but failed, she murmured in her heart, could it be that something happened to the eighth elder brother's house and she wanted to go with her? Fujin to discuss?It doesn't look like it now, could it be that Fujin has finally learned how to make the girls in the house seduce the master?

"It's hard for you to wake up so early." Zhou Ting ignored the different looks of the two, and spoke very gently, looking over them.

Mrs. Li finally knows that her face has turned yellow recently, and she no longer dares to pick up tender colors to wear, but when she puts on dark colors, she suddenly looks older, and the powder on her face is thick, Zhou Ting can see it without getting close Show her unnaturalness.

Song's waist is soft and her steps are soft, and her words are pleasant: "Fu Jin is working so hard, how can I dare to be lazy?" As long as Nala's family goes to the palace to pay her respects, she will come to see her off every day.

Mrs. Li had many excuses, and she only came here five times out of ten times. Hearing this, she was unwilling to be assassinated: "I am going to thank the palace for the reward." Zhou Ting was close, and Song Shi couldn't compare with her.

The faces of the two parties were not good-looking, Zhou Ting knew what kind of attack they were playing, and Yinzhen's mind was not on the back house, so naturally she couldn't hear what the two said, so she nodded slightly: "Let's go our separate ways. "

The charming eyes are for the blind to see, you are jealous, this master doesn't realize it himself.Zhou Ting smiled inwardly, imitating Yinzhen's appearance, and straightened her face: "In the future, there is no need to get up so early, especially you, the little elder brother needs you to take care of me." Don't show your face in front of your husband all the time, is it true? Don't want a son?Or does she think she can give birth?

"My concubine said the same thing, but sister Li won't listen." Mrs. Song climbed up the pole.

Li's face was full of constipation, she was already wondering if the little elder brother's serious illness was because of her fuss at the beginning, she just wanted to find an excuse to let Yinzhen come over, but she didn't expect that not only Yinzhen was getting worse and worse To be patient with her, her son's illness is getting worse day by day. These days, Mrs. Li has to go to the Buddhist hall to offer incense and pray every day.

Mrs. Song laughed at her in her heart, and said nice things to her face: "My sister is devout, and she burns incense at the Buddha's place every day. For this kind of heart, my little elder brother's illness will be cured."

"Borrow Song sister's auspicious words." Li's eyes turned red, and tears were about to flow down. Just as Yinzhen was about to comfort her, Su Peisheng said outside:
"Master, the chariots and horses are ready."

Zhou Ting went up and patted Li's hand: "Don't worry too much, but the usual cold will be fine."

Li Shi didn't wait for Yinzhen's comfort, her eyes were fixed on him and she refused to turn away. Zhou Ting turned sideways so that the two of them looked at each other. As expected, Yinzhen said: "You have a good rest, wait and go to me Look."

Zhou Ting smiled, go and have a look, let's go and sleep there by the way, she won't disturb their concubine's love, I didn't sleep well last night, and I just happened to catch up on sleep today.

Su Peisheng urged the second time, and the two got on the car, Yinzhen left first, Zhou Ting's car stopped in front of Ba Age's mansion, Ba Fujin had a frozen face as soon as she got into the car, Zhou Ting teased her: " Hey, it's not the time to freeze yet, why does this face look like it has been frosted?"

Bafujin sighed first, then gritted his teeth and said, "I knew it was such a troublesome person, it would be better to kill him and get clean."

"What's going on? I was shocked last night." It was dark and the fire was burning, and Zhou Ting could really see a glimmer of fire from a distance from the house.

"I'm just too kind. This bitch should be beaten to death. I restrained her feet. I didn't ask anyone to beat her or scold her. However, she dared to let her be a needlework grinder! "Laughing coldly, Zhou Ting pushed her as she looked at her.

Layers of frost formed on Fujin's face: "Now it is said that she lit the lamp and boiled the wax until the middle of the night to do the sewing for me. She got lost in sleep and didn't pay attention before she left the water." It can be regarded as a name on the top, and it is not so easy to take care of this "New Moon" Gege.

Zhou Ting actually sympathized with Ba Fujin very much, because she had nothing to do in the backyard, she suffered so much behind her back, but she was so strong and refused to be picked on at all.

Obviously knowing that it would be much better to pretend to be weak and complain about suffering, but if you just have to straighten your back and let people poke you, life is not easy at all, and if you have a restless concubine, how many people will say it this time? She is jealous and oppresses concubines.

"My lord just said it's okay, but it hurt people? Is the house badly damaged? Presumably the palace also wants to ask." Yinzhen probably didn't want to talk about these hesitating things in the back house, so he didn't mention it to Zhou Ting at all.

"Two rooms were burned, and the sleeping person in the next one ran out without time to put on his coat, but no one was injured in the one that was on fire." Ba Fujin pursed his lips and closed his eyes fiercely: "Now that People can't boast about it."

Zhou Ting sighed and took her hand: "You don't have to be like this, I've seen that girl who is restless, if someone asks you, just say it straight, it's her own fault, maybe it's intentional, otherwise how can you burn her?" She grew so big, and she didn't burn a single strand of her hair? It can be seen that it was intentional."

After making such a loud noise, Yinzhen went to help in the middle of the night. Although she was telling her servants not to panic, it was true that the fire was raging, and she could escape unscathed in a burning room. If it was true as she said I fell asleep, how could nothing happen?

Ba Fujin is suffering and can't tell. She has become familiar with Zhou Ting, but it is only a little better than before. There are some things I really dare not say to her. Now hearing Zhou Ting comforting her like this, her eyes turn red In one piece, I spit out two points that I usually dare not say: "Sister-in-law knows my difficulties, but who doesn't know, we don't have a son, we are naturally lower than those, and the higher-ups will be more picky about your behavior. I am now being roasted on the fire!"

As she said that, she took out the veil and pressed it on her eyes. She was young and had a good foundation, and she looked okay after staying up all night and putting on powder, but the bloodshot eyes in her eyes could not be covered.

Zhou Ting looked at her and sighed for her again: "Who are you forcing it on? If you complain, will the elders in the palace still reprimand you? They must let people know that you have worked hard so that they will not treat you So harsh."

Ba Fujin held back his tears, and held Zhou Ting's hand in a trembling voice: "No one knows what kind of temperament our master is. Even if the house is on fire, he will still shake his fan. This time something happened. He is more anxious than me, it can be seen that the last time he saw someone fell in love with him."

As soon as she said this, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. The more she thought about it, the more she felt suspicious, but Zhou Ting didn't think so.

"You shouldn't think like this. On weekdays, if the sisters-in-law don't talk about it, there is no one who doesn't envy you in my heart. Just look at me and you will know. There are already few people in the back house. Although it doesn't mean that a hundred flowers bloom, then It is also Chunlan and Qiuju who are winning. Let's look at your house again, has your master ever looked at others more?"

Speaking of this Bafujin, she was a little embarrassed. She was able to rest assured that other women had children because her husband treated her differently from others. Counting from top to bottom, among so many brothers, he was the only one who looked at his wife differently, but because of this Well, she will only worry about gain and loss, no matter how others have children, she is afraid that one day they will not be able to control this good.

"If you want me to tell you, it's inevitable that you'll think too much when you're in trouble. You should hold him back at this time. If you make a fuss, he doesn't care about it, but instead, you should cry." Well." Looking at Bafujin, Zhou Ting felt as if she was looking at her past self. When she was in a relationship, she had to do it from time to time, using various things to prove her position in the other party's heart, and accidentally taking the other party's love. All worn off.

Bafujin couldn't bear it for a while, and she couldn't tell the girls what was in her heart. No matter how caring she was, she would be a slave. She didn't have any brothers or sisters, and she didn't even have her biological mother. When she met a sister like Zhou Ting, she was gentle After a few words of persuasion, I immediately felt heartbroken.

Zhou Ting had all the things in the car ready. She opened the makeup mirror to let her touch up her makeup. Ba Fujin added some powder, because the circles under her eyes were red after crying, and she looked a little more lovely than usual. She turned her head towards Zhou Ting Leaning on his shoulder: "No wonder I became neighbors with my fourth sister-in-law, it was due to fate."
