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

Chapter 35

At night, Zhou Ting combed the hairstyle that is fashionable in the south, and piled her hair high. Pearl's skillful hands flew up and down to give her a high bun: "Bafu Jin often combs this way, and I learned it from Jingui. Our master has an oval face." It looks good when it's set against it." Pointing to the glass hairpin in the box, he asked, "Which one do you want to wear, Master?"

"Put this plum blossom in a brocade box, I want to give it to others." After comparing Begonia and pear blossom, I picked a simple and elegant one: "It's better to be this pear blossom, the pistil is really cute." , the stamens are embedded with pearls the size of rice grains, which is Zhou Ting's favorite style, and it is really romantic and chic when inserted in the hair.

The hair style is complicated, so the clothes are simple. The white butterfly embroidered with pink butterflies is just right for the scene, and it looks spring in winter.Pearl took off the silk cover on the dressing mirror, and Zhou Ting stood in front of the mirror looking left and right, always feeling a bit strange, so she lifted the hem of her clothes: "This waist is too wide, it is not convenient to move around, I will do this again in the future The regular clothes narrowed the waist."

Anyway, it's only worn at home, of course it doesn't matter how it looks, not to mention the waist and chest are invisible, it's really difficult for Yinzhen to see his figure from such clothes.

The glass lamps had already been lit, and Agate took out a gift box for Zhou Ting to choose from. Since it was for the princess, she took out the bright red one. Zhou Ting picked out a red-ground white plum blossom enamel box: "Line it up with soft satin." It’s ready.” Send one to the crown princess first, and then send out the other sisters-in-law slowly, and ask who likes what style, and when the crown princess wears it on her head, it will naturally become fashionable.

After waiting for quite a while before Yinzhen came over, Zhou Ting squinted her eyes on the kang, the lanterns flickered and dazzled, she simply asked Ma Nao to put out a few candles, and lay down on the big pillow to wait for Yinzhen.

Being hugged and hugged while half asleep and half awake, Zhou Ting raised her eyelids and saw Yinzhen's bald forehead. She leaned back and asked vaguely, "Are you back?"

As soon as Yinzhen came back, she saw Zhou Ting leaning on the pillow with her waist twisted, sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, two transparent pear blossoms adorning her peach cheeks, the stamens inside trembled as she breathed, and her lips didn't know it. There is no rouge on the mouth, the same rouge color as the cheeks, and it is gone after scraping with fingers.

She took a bite of her mouth, and lifted her autumn-colored skirt to her lap. Just as she was about to move, she saw the cover of the full-length mirror lifted.
The figure was reflected exactly, and Zhou Ting leaned on her waist with a fire in her heart, and looked at the person in the mirror carefully, even more excited.

Zhou Ting didn't know what Yinzhen was going to do when she was picked up at first, but when she walked to the mirror, her face burned up and she looked even more coquettish.

Yinzhen unbuttoned the pearl buttons on the clothes one by one. The charcoal was burning in the room. Zhou Ting didn't wear any more. Once she took off her coat, it was the apron inside. The skirt fell to her waist, and he pulled her body to stick Looking at the mirror, I tried pushing it in from behind to get it up.

When Zhou Ting woke up in the morning, her face was still burning, and the whole pear-blossom glass hairpin fell to the ground, the stamens and petals on it fell to pieces, and the little pearls rolled into nowhere. Zhou Ting dared not lift her eyes when the agate came in to tidy up .

"I'm going to celebrate Thirteenth Brother's birthday today, will you follow me in the car, or go later?" Yinzhen was satisfied, knowing for the first time that the mirror had such a purpose, the bigger it was the better.

After two days in a row, Zhou Ting had no place to put his face after tearing down the mattress and washing it in the sun. No way, he must be made vegetarian recently.Hearing his question, he thought for a while and said: "Things have been prepared long ago, and you can go when you put them on, but I got a glass plum blossom hairpin yesterday, which is very fresh, and I want to give it to the princess." Feeling that the legs of the man at the table leaned towards her, obviously he also remembered how the hairpin broke yesterday, his face turned red and his legs hid to the side, trying to straighten his face: " Besides, Er Niang asked me to take care of the thirteen younger siblings, so naturally she had to go and see her first."

Yinzhen didn't tease her any more and just said: "Since the mother concubine ordered it, you can arrive sooner with me." Zhou Ting responded with a sound and followed him out the door. When getting into the car, Yinzhen personally After giving her a hand, she pinched her hand with her fingers. Zhou Ting pursed her mouth and pinched her fingernails. She pulled her hand hard and pulled back the car curtain to get in. Yinzhen held back a smile as if nothing had happened. The horse picked up the rein and walked forward.

After arriving at the palace, she asked An to go to Yuqing Palace with the Crown Princess. Yuqing Palace was shallow and narrow, but there were many people living there. Only then did Zhou Ting realize that the Crown Princess did not live as comfortably as her. At least she had a separate room of her own. In the yard, you can see your husband's concubine without looking up or down.

As soon as the Crown Princess came back, a bunch of concubines and concubines came to pay her respects. Her unmoving brows were almost like a portrait. Zhou Ting sighed for her in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.She was so polite that she called these children Fourth Aunt Zhou Ting.

When Zhou Ting came, she was prepared to send out something when she called out. The Crown Princess wanted to stop Zhou Ting: "It's the first time I've seen you so neatly. Call me Fourth Aunt. Can you still miss something? "

The Crown Princess pursed her lips and gave a brief ironic smile. She waited for the children to leave before calling out her daughter. In face, she treated everyone the same, but she could tell who was her own at a glance. As soon as she saw Sangege, the smile on the corner of her mouth was different, and there was a kind of motherly feeling in her eyes.

Zhou Ting handed the box over: "It's not a good thing at first, but it looks fresh. I think you are the only one who loves plum blossoms among us sisters-in-law, so I brought it here."

The princess liked it very much, picked it up and looked at it carefully: "It's made of glass, why is it so thin."

Not long after Sangege had grown her hair, seeing the beautiful hairpin she couldn’t wear even though she liked it in her heart, Zhou Ting smiled and stroked her hand: “Sangege, don’t worry, I’ll be able to comb it next year. How about fourth aunt giving you a set of [-]-style hairpins?" Noticing that she had pierced ears, she was going to go back and ask Feng Ji if he could make glass earrings for the little girl to play with.

He also said to the concubine: "The eldest Gege in our family is about the same age as San Gege. When our grandfather's birthday is born, San Gege will definitely be brought along."

Many princesses in the palace didn't leave the palace until they got married. Sange looked at his mother eagerly until the crown princess nodded: "I'm asking you to worry about it."

After saving a cup of tea, Zhou Ting resigned. The Yingying and Yanyan in the room made her breathless. No wonder the princess is always calm, just because someone is beating the gong in front of her. She probably won't even raise her eyebrows.

If Zhou Ting were placed here, she would definitely not be able to stay for a day. She can still beat this and that to raise two points. She looks very stable. Don't underestimate the ancients. Really fine.

Thirteen Fujin's place has already started to get busy, the birthday banquet is set in the garden, and all kinds of melon and fruit snacks have been put on the table. It will be a long time before the elder brothers go to court, Hui Rong has already started to get nervous, and keeps pulling Zhou Ting to ask "Fourth sister-in-law, do you see that I haven't made any trouble?"

Zhou Ting clapped her hands to reassure her: "Everything is ready, you just need to take care of yourself." Then she reminded her: "Can you give me some noodles to go inside?" Pointing to Guerjia She can’t attend this kind of scene, Zhou Ting reminded her to keep her busy for a while, and finally asked someone else to pick it up cheaply. what to do.

Since seeing Li's methods, Zhou Ting probably divided the concubines into three grades, those who are incompetent and restless, those who fight for restlessness, and those who are murderous.This Guerjia family Zhou Ting has never seen before, but since she has stayed in the position of the main wife, she naturally hopes that the regular wives who are as hard-working as her can have a better situation.

"Sister-in-law Si didn't remind me of this, it's been prepared a long time ago. Compared with our table, it's only two big dishes less, which is enough to flatter her." After all, Huirong was born and raised here. Which of these methods has never been seen before, and she adapts much better than Zhou Ting.In the past few days, I have been able to talk to Yinxiang very well, and acted like a baby and let him coax me like a child. On the other hand, the Guerjia family was gentle and understanding at first, and then asked her to understand what Yinxiang likes the most. The sets don't work either.

The sisters-in-law came over one after another from their respective mothers and concubines. When they got together, they happened to play two tables of mahjong. After talking and joking, everyone came alive, and no one knew who brought up the idea of ​​pushing Pai Gow.Ten Fujin doesn't know this, and the Crown Princess hasn't arrived yet, everyone pushed me onto the poker table, Jiu Fujin, who has always been cautious, muttered: "It's not good for us to do this."

"Which of the family members of the minister's family closes the door and doesn't touch two. It's me. When I was not married, I used to watch my family draw cards. If it's too noisy, let's play leaf games, and don't throw pots." Said It must be Fujin who said this, she set up a table as soon as she said this, and their maids stood behind to serve tea and handkerchiefs.

It is natural to chat while playing cards. Zhou Ting talked about the two puppies she just brought back. She couldn't tell what breed they were: "I was thinking about naming them, but they are both white. If a pair White and yellow, one is white and the other is yellow."

Ba Fujin almost spit tea out of laughter, the cards he was touching fell out and spread out on the table, and he was stared straight at him: "This doesn't count, I have to draw again." The laughing Fujin also had their hands itchy, and they took turns when they lost. They were afraid of making too much noise, so they vacated the table after playing for a while. The eight Fujins were still not enjoying themselves, so they clamored to open another table at Zhou Ting's place. He also came up with an idea: "When the time comes, the men will drink and listen to the theater in front, and we will make trouble in the back, how will they know."

When the banquet started, Zhou Ting finally got together all the royal brothers at once. The female relatives were not together through the screen, but they could still see some shadows. Anyway, the yard is only that big, and Yinzhen didn't sit with his younger brother. , on the contrary, he was the closest to Yinxiang, and the two of them kept talking.

At the end of the meal, when everyone started arguing and drinking, Zhou Ting saw Yinzhen picking up the ox horn bow that Yinzhen had given Yinxiang, holding it in his hand and rubbing it.

When they got home at night, both of them were very tired, and Yinzhen lay down on the bed reeking of alcohol: "The old fourteen is too outrageous, hold a wine jar to toast."

Zhou Ting didn't see the drinking before, but after thinking about it, she understood a bit and burst out laughing: "Look, it's the fourteenth brother who is jealous."
