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

Chapter 39

On the day of Yinzhen's birthday, the glass decoration really shined. The princess stared at the glass plum bonsai in admiration, and picked out the yellow stamen with her nails: "It's really crystal clear, and it looks like this."

Time was running out, Feng Ji was not able to study large flowers, and the glass was easy to break when it was blown or drawn.Zhou Ting asked them to pick up the small flowers and make them with lush branches, so the bonsai they sent were all small flowers, but the color was more vivid and natural. Plum blossoms placed in a vase next to the bonsai, from a distance it is impossible to tell the real from the fake.

Before the banquet started, Zhou Ting led a group of sisters-in-law to sit in the water pavilion to talk and eat snacks. When she heard the princess's compliment, she said: "Not only this, but I also have a hydrangea bonsai in my house that is very similar to it. , if it wasn't tasteless, I would have thought it was April."

"Fourth sister-in-law hides her secrets. Such a good thing doesn't communicate with each other but monopolizes it. It should be beaten." Ba Fujin pointed to the pots on the short table and tsk-tsk, and Zhou Ting went up and squeezed her. Face: "I really don't know good people. When the things are brought later, she doesn't have any."

It happened that Zhuzhu brought the glass hairpin prepared by Zhou Ting, and Zhou Ting still said: "It's not something expensive, it's just a novelty, it's a little bit of my heart." Opening the box for the women to choose, deliberately going around Guo Yiwei walked up to Jiufujin, and Bafujin hurriedly begged for mercy when he saw it: "Good Sisao, don't be as knowledgeable as me."

Zhou Ting picked up the one that was going to be given to her and stuffed it into Thirteen Fujin's hand: "The Thirteenth sibling is the youngest among sisters-in-law, so I'll give her the extra one."

The women laughed together, Huirong's round face was flushed, and she was about to put it on her head when she took it from her hand: "It's mine, sister-in-law eight is not allowed to take it anymore." Messed up, Hui Rong blushed anxiously: "How can I meet people if I wait for a meeting like this?"

It is rare for the Crown Princess to smile happily. Today she brought Sangege and grabbed Yiwei: "Don't bully her because she is young, what is she like?" Eighth Fujin stopped, Thirteenth Fujin The hairpin on her head was about to fall off, she reached out to hold her and hide in Zhou Ting's arms: "Sister-in-law Ba will bully people." Zhou Ting laughed, and helped her up to go to the main courtyard to wash her face and tie her hair.

About to walk out of the water pavilion, the princess followed her: "I'm going to take a look at Sangege."

San Gege was talking to Da Gege, her eyes were fixed on the decorations in Da Gege's room, although she is the daughter of the Crown Princess, she has expensive food and clothing, but the place where she lives is not as spacious as Da Gege.

"It would be nice to have such a big screen in my room." Manao led Thirteen Fujin to comb her hair, Zhou Ting and the princess went to Da Gege's room, and heard San Gege say this before entering the door.

The smile on the lips of the Crown Princess froze. Everyone knew about the large population in Yuqing Palace. Kangxi was afraid of wronging the Crown Prince. There has never been a break in entering people. At the beginning, one was also particular about one's background. Later, as long as she is of good color, even if she is an official woman, she can still be admitted.

There are more and more people, and the houses are getting less and less. The crown princess must be able to hold her own and not be talked about by others. Her own daughter is also allocated the house like the daughter born in the concubine. San Gege is not living in Da Gege, the concubine daughter of Yinzhen. The place is big.

"It's our Da Gege who is weak. I picked out this big screen from the library, and it can be placed here to keep out the wind." Zhou Ting walked behind the princess one step behind. Da Gege had just seen the ceremony. At this time, I stood up again and said hello.

The princess waved her hand: "How are you doing?"

"Okay," San Gege also bowed to Zhou Ting, and agreed, with a crisp voice, much more energetic than Da Gege.Girls are nothing but gadgets with needles and threads. Zhou Ting had given Da Gege a set of glass bead flower earrings long ago, and asked her to give them to San Gege when she saw the opportunity. She was just showing them to San Gege.

"This bead is even more beautiful than crystal." Sangege pointed to the box of glass beads for stringing beads and said, "It would be interesting to string this together with the emerald."

Glass is really not a good thing in Zhou Ting's heart, it is worse than Liuli, but the princess is willing to coax her daughter: "Take it back and ask the boss to string it for you to play with."

Zhou Ting saw that Da Gege's servants behaved well, and Da Gege himself didn't keep a pale face, and nodded in his heart. This Da Gege is better than her mother, so she pulled the princess and said: "Let them stay together. Let's go back to the water pavilion."

Da Gege got a lot of rewards from the elders today, and he knew in his heart that it was because of Zhou Ting's sake that he got this dignity, and he walked in with San Gege's hand after he delivered it to the door.

Zhou Ting dared to tell Hui Rong about having a baby, but she didn't dare to tell the princess. In fact, they should be political enemies. After a year, I will turn around and kneel down to them.

Zhou Ting was talking about the glass flower: "It's a new thing that I just made, and I was thinking of presenting it after I finished it. I don't know what everyone likes, so I want to ask my second sister-in-law for advice. "

As soon as the prince came, he first said that there is no need to be strict with the brothers in the family, and the sisters-in-law began to discuss according to the ranking.The concubine smiled slightly: "Ama Khan doesn't like these things. It would be better if she could make landscapes. You can pick up lively tricks from the ancestors and send them over. There is only one. She doesn't like plain ones."

The Crown Princess is not surprised. If a family doesn’t have any private property, if they have good things, they must pay tribute to the top. The Crown Prince has a lot of property, but the Crown Princess can’t interfere. The family's business always knows one thing, her life is worse than the ordinary Fujin's palace, at least they still manage a palace, and all she can manage is the one-third of an acre of land in Yuqing Palace.

The concubine of the crown prince just speculated about the thoughts of the people in the palace day and night, but the crown prince didn't take this wife seriously, and didn't think about it. If he had a son-in-law, the elder brother wouldn't dare to push him so hard.

Zhou Ting's mood is very complicated. She will definitely not be as good as the Crown Princess in a different place. Not only Kangxi and the Queen Mother, but whoever in the palace from top to bottom does not praise the Crown Princess's actions. If the Crown Prince values ​​her, What a big help.

The two talked all the way to Zhou Ting's house, Hui Rong had already dressed up, and the three of them went back to the waterside pavilion, where a table had already been opened, and the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law gathered around to play a leaf show, and won the prize before the banquet began. The one with the most is Ba Fujin, she waved her hand: "I will be the host tomorrow, and when the glass window is installed, we will roast rabbit meat to eat. Fourth sister-in-law doesn't have any wine here, why should I have two glasses?" .”

After talking and laughing for a long time, there was a banquet ahead, and the dishes on the banquet were carefully prepared by Zhou Ting. Just now, when the girls were making friends with each other, they also asked a few questions about the taboos of each family. Fujin doesn't eat onion and ginger, and Fujin Jiu doesn't eat mutton, so they all ask the girl serving the food to be careful.

He also asked the prince to order the play first. After the prince finished ordering, naturally the princess should order. She flipped left and right and said, "Let Magu present her birthday." : "This should be the famous Xiao Yuehong in Beijing. I heard that I wrote a new book called Sansheng III, which made people cry. It's not easy to invite her now." He didn't dare to offend the royal family, so when the other side called for a reward, this side also gave it away. The little actor pretending to be a monkey was holding a copper gong to receive the money, and the tinkling sound was endless.

The prince left the table before the play was over, the princess followed her, Zhou Ting got up and saw her off, and the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother also stood up. Leaving, full of complaints: "There is a hurry there, anyway, I live nearby and I am not afraid of the curfew."

"You also said that you live nearby, so you just come and go often."

Several elder brothers walked away one after another, and the little Zhang in front came to report: "Fu Jin, I seem to be drunk." Zhou Ting laughed, no wonder they all left. It's not long since the banquet started, why? Getting drunk, thinking of Yinxiang's drunken appearance on his birthday, did Yinzhen drink him again today?

The front has almost dispersed, and the troupe has not finished singing the show. The troupe is in a hurry. Is it going to be sung or not? Zhou Ting asked Xiao Zhangzi to send the troupe to pack up and leave. The rest of the money Let him tie the knot again tomorrow, and she will take the girl to go forward.

Sure enough, they all left, Yinzhen covered his head and Yinxiang Yinzhen supported him. When Zhou Ting came, the two of them avoided it, and they didn't avoid it. Zhou Ting sighed and guessed that he had a headache again. Baijia Forum It didn't say that Emperor Yongzheng died of a headache.

Zhou Ting commanded complacently: "Help me to the inner room, burn the ground dragon, go to fetch hot water, and ask the kitchen to deliver hangover soup. Last time I said yes to the sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, this time I will make it again. Looking at the two younger uncles again, he smiled slightly: "Thirteenth brother, fourteenth brother, stay and eat a bowl too."

After she said this, they couldn't avoid it anymore. Seeing Zhou Ting's appearance as a sister-in-law, the two looked at each other and sat down outside. Su Peisheng handed over the towel, Zhou Ting wiped Yinzhen's face herself, and leaned next to him Asked in the ear: "But the head hurts again?"

Yinzhen frowned and nodded, he didn't want others to know, even if it was his own brother, Zhou Ting understood, and acted like a good wife: "I said earlier that I won't let you drink in a hurry, no matter how happy you are, you have to have a degree." That's right." Turning to look at Yinzhen again: "But the fourteenth brother poured your wine? Let me tell Erniang to go tomorrow."

Yinzhen jumped up: "Fourth sister-in-law can't wrong me, I haven't paid my respects yet, and fourth brother can't drink too much." Yinxiang knocked his head beside him, and Zhou Ting asked Yinzhen to lie on the couch and couldn't take it. Putting a handkerchief over his head, he covered his head with a dry towel.

"I was going to give it to you after the banquet, Su Peisheng, so I took it out and gave it to Fourteen." After hearing Zhou Ting's words, Yin Zhen really went to find the horn bow, the decoration for Yin Xiang More than its purpose, the one given to Yinzhen is a real thing.

Yinzhen was really happy to take it, and tried it again: "Thank you, Sisao."

"Thank you, fourth brother." Zhou Ting pressed Yinzhen's temples with her hands, pressed and released, and gently rubbed them. When the soup was served, she asked him, "Do you want a sip of soup? Do you want to vomit?" Zhou Ting The figures of Ting and Yinzhen were obscured by the screen, but their voices could be heard outside.

The two half-year-old boys outside have all gone through personnel affairs. One is just newly married and still treats his wife as a younger sister, and the other has a concubine and has not yet realized the benefits of a wife. Seeing Zhou Ting's behavior like this, he feels the benefits of having a wife .

The person in her arms opened her eyes suddenly, which startled Zhou Ting. Seeing that his expression was not right, she quickly found an excuse to send the girl out: "Hurry up and bring the copper basin, I'm afraid I'm going to vomit." Rubbing his chest: "What's the matter? It hurts a lot?"

Yinzhen squinted his eyes, as if the lights in the room were flickering, he let out a breath after being dazed for a long time, his voice was low and slow: "It's better, who is outside?"

"Thirteenth brother and fourteenth brother, they brought you back." Zhou Ting said strangely, she couldn't even notice this.

Yinzhen sat up and walked to the outer room, Yinxiang saw him come out and put down his chopsticks: "Is fourth brother okay?" Yinzhen smacked his lips: "You can't just say I'll take over, Minger Erniang It's time to miss me again, saying that I don't want to help you anymore." As he said so, but there was concern in his eyes, Yinzhen's chest heaved and he stared at the two carefully, then turned back to look at Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting stepped forward to pull him, and nodded at them: "This is drunk, Manao, quickly bring the hangover soup." Then she pulled him back to the inner room, and asked, "Master, what's the matter?" ? It’s like you’ve never seen them before.”
