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

Chapter 51

Zhou Ting nodded at her, and Manao took the things she handed over, put them in Zhou Ting's hand, flipped them over, and found that there was a pink and tender big peach embroidered on the top of the small apron, which was very attractive at first glance. festive.

Zhou Ting paused her hands, picked up the apron and took a closer look. The stitches were smooth, but the peach embroidery method always looked familiar. When she picked it up, she knew that it was made of several strands of embroidery. The thread is compared to the cross-stitch one by one. Although it is finer, it is obviously the common modern cross-stitch.Zhou Ting's heart suddenly jumped, and Yin Zhen who was beside her at this pause asked, "What's the matter?"

"I just saw that this acupuncture method is fresh, but I've never seen it before." Showed it to Yinzhen again: "It's not the best, but it's better than being quick." The latter sentence is half sarcasm, and the imperial physician diagnosed her. It has only been a few hours since she was pregnant, and this Niu Hulu family can make a small dress and present it to her.

Zhou Ting put the bellyband aside, and looked at her with more inquiring eyes. Either this was originally for someone else, and now she borrowed flowers to present Buddha, or this fellow countryman is deliberately trying to climb up. Now the backyard Among them, only the third elder brother is still young enough to use a bellyband. No matter what kind it is, people hate her intentions.

Yinzhen raised his eyes, turned his eyes around Niu Hulu's round face, and then fell on the apron. He couldn't recognize the face just by looking at it, but when he heard the name and thought about it carefully, Yinzhen knew. who is she now.

Hongli's mother-in-law, Xiaoxuan pointed out that the Niu Hulu clan who came in to give him branches and leaves, she was still young when he left, and Hongli must respect her as the empress dowager when he became emperor.

I just remember that she is an honest woman, her natal family status is low, her upbringing is second-class, her birth can only be regarded as pleasing, and she has never shown it in front of Nian's and Geng's.It wasn't until Hongli won his favor that she began to enter her title. After the queen passed away, she took care of the affairs of the Six Palaces.These later Yinzhen can still remember clearly, but they just can't remember the year she entered the mansion. Hongli was born in 50 years, why is she already here now?

A girl of thirteen or fourteen years old had a round face when she hadn't opened yet. It was fine for Yinzhen to take a look at it. The Niu Hulu family hadn't reached the time for him to pay attention, but Zhou Ting and Yinzhen When she retreated by herself, the little girl started talking again: "This stitching method was figured out by the servant himself, but this Taozi is a bit smart, and it will add blessings and longevity to the little elder brother."

Zhou Ting's eyebrows twitched. It doesn't matter if her husband says what the elders say. She is a concubine in the backyard. Even the Song family dare not say such a thing, but she said it so harshly. Lend Fushou to the child in her womb?
Mrs. Niu Hulu was still waiting to say more, but Mrs. Song had already rushed up to stop her: "The servant is also thinking about making a pair of little shoes for the little elder brother. This peach pattern is really joyful." While glaring at Niu Hulu, she was the one who brought the people in. She originally thought that bringing more people in would not show her intentions, but who knew that the little girl said something wrong. If Yinzhen was offended, they would all want to Followed by eating melons.

Zhou Ting glanced at Song Shi indifferently, and let Niu Hulu Shi lightly go. This performance was for the purpose of getting Yinzhen's heart. As long as Zhou Ting didn't show her alone, she would definitely not look like this now. will stand out.

Unexpectedly, Yinzhen was angry, with his usual expression on his face, but his voice sank: "You are a slave, what blessings and longevity can you lend to your master?" He couldn't hear how angry Zhou Ting was. Knowing that he was really angry, the muscles in his body tensed up.

Yinzhen was really confused by Li's affairs. It turned out that the women who kept their own place in his eyes now only need to see something different from what he remembered, and he felt that they were uneasy and kind, not to mention Niu Hulu here. Shi has changed, and she is much more clever than the previous one. Yinzhen felt that she was dishonest after seeing her.

Zhou Ting patted his hand: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, let's go."

"Since you want to add blessings to Fujin and have needlework, go embroidering scriptures." Yinzhen glanced at Zhou Ting as a way of giving her face, but Niu Hulu had to punish her. Her face turned pale, and when Song saw that she was still in a daze, she quickly pushed her: "I still don't thank you and Fujin."

Niu Hulu held back a sigh of relief. When he came here, he was still young and knew that he was destined to be extraordinary. He has always been wearing a fancy dress. The purpose of making a bellyband is to show his face in front of Yinzhen earlier, so that he can take a fancy to him Own.At this time, I have to salute Zhou Ting, and I can't help but slander, there is no such child in history, and if he fails to leave a name, he was never born at all.I didn't feel angry in my heart, but it was exposed when I looked at it from the outside. When I bowed down to plead guilty, I bowed down to Zhou Ting: "I beg Fujin to be generous, and forgive the slave's nonsense."

Since Zhou Ting arrived in ancient times, no one has ever said such a thing to her face. It wasn't Zhou Ting who caught her language problem, so she was not lenient enough.The smile that was still on his face faded: "Master, what do you think?" With just one sentence, he kicked the ball to Yinzhen again, thinking that by doing so, he could give her eye drops and treat everyone else as fools Look, Zhou Ting doesn't suffer from her.

Yinzhen's eyes froze, and he stared at Niu Hulu with a bit of amusement, but he didn't pursue it any further, he just said: "Since you haven't learned all the rules, you should stay in the room and learn the rules. It's all ready, when will it come out?" Sure enough, he was dishonest, who was this little dress trying to please?He sneered in his heart but still thought that she was Hongli's mother-in-law, so he didn't intend to punish her harshly.

Zhou Ting was satisfied with this kind of punishment, so she locked her feet and locked her up. Just don’t come to play tricks in front of her. She couldn’t do it if she really tossed people to death: “You all go down, everyone of you is allowed to join us today. One dish." Waved them to leave, some of them couldn't hold their breath, and looked back at Yinzhen before leaving, seeing that his attention was on Fujin's stomach, they were discouraged again.

Zhou Ting could see clearly that these women's thoughts couldn't be hidden from her. There were big selections and small selections, and there were girls from the same country who wanted to poach corners in the middle. This backyard was getting more and more lively.

The few who hadn't had time to speak all gave Niu Hulu angrily a look. They were of low status, and except for appearing in front of Yinzhen during Chinese New Year and festivals, they had to stay in their own rooms obediently at other times, even the yard was closed. You can't come in casually.As soon as she heard that Zhou Ting was pregnant, she secretly made up her mind. Seeing that Mrs. Li fell down, she hugged Zhengyuan's thigh tightly, and took some broth to drink while Fujin was pregnant, maybe she could conceive one too.Such a good opportunity was spoiled by her, and they all gritted their teeth several times in their hearts, and before leaving the main courtyard, Niu Hulu received a series of supercilious eyes.

But she was still upset about what happened just now, so she didn't realize it at all, and Mrs. Song didn't bother to talk to her, she didn't get close to her in the first place, and she pulled her to prevent herself from getting involved, so she wished she could leave here now. Stay away from the winking thing, usually looks smart, why can't even speak when seeing the right master.

Zhou Ting propped her head on the kang, and Yinzhen went to the front to give instructions. She drank bird's nest porridge one mouthful at a time, and sat down in less than half a bowl. He has also learned the rules, so is he just like Chu Gege in the Eight Fujin's mansion?"

Aunt Wusu had already entered the room when Gege and the others came in to congratulate her. When she heard Zhou Ting's question, she snorted out of her nose: "This kind of thing doesn't take much effort from the master, and the slave can cook it with one hand and one foot." .”

"Ma'am, this is?" Hearing Madam Wusu's tone, Zhou Ting somehow thought of the famous mama on TV with a big wing and a silver needle in her hand.

"It's just a geek, she can make any troubles. If the master doesn't ask her to come out, she can only be locked in the house for the rest of her life. Whether she learns the rules well or not is determined by the master. There is no need for the master to act. A yard can't make her live better."

Zhou Ting was relieved. Luckily, Madam Wusu did not take the route of fighting. It was ridiculous when I thought about it. Stitching silver needles and shutting down a small black house can only appear on TV. Which serious master is so self-defeating? To toss the servants, if a bad word is sold or closed, the girl in the master's yard won't be able to do it. Isn't that new moon tossed to death by the eight blessings kneeling sutras and praying for blessings?

Pearl picked up the needle and thread that Niu Hulu gave her, and looked at it with distaste, "It's such a handicraft, but you dare to make progress. If you don't know, you might think it's some girl who just learned needle and thread." Pearl Agate They each have their own strengths. Agate is used to making shoes, and pearl embroidery is good. In her opinion, such things can't be put on the table: "The thread has never been split, and such a rough job is not afraid of hurting people."

Agate opened the curtain and came in, and Xiao Zhangzi followed behind her. As soon as she entered the door, she saluted Zhou Ting: "The master ordered the servant to bring things, and asked the master to use the ones that are eye-catching, and lock them in if they don't like them." Go to Curry." As he spoke, the servant woman brought two boxes in.

This time Yinzhen sent a lot of good things. There were two pairs of white jade flower vases alone. Zhou Ting accepted it with a blunt smile. The white jade screen was also picked up and placed in a conspicuous place.Since it was Yinzhen's intention, it was natural to put it out for him to see. He showed Zhou Ting all the agates, and put them one by one. Xiao Zhangzi handed the list to Pearl, who added it to Zhou Ting. Ting's private library.

After checking everything, Xiao Zhangzi shrugged again: "My lord told me that the dishes served in the big kitchen might not suit Fujin's taste when it's cold, so I went to the main courtyard to tidy up the small kitchen, just like the big kitchen." , you don’t have to go to the public account for any expenses, it’s all from the master’s rules.” After these words were finished, Xiao Zhangzi sold it well: “I don’t know about Fujin, our master has chosen a cook for a long time, saying that Fujin is now more I love southern dishes, so I specially pick out cooks who are good at cooking southern dishes." There is another hidden sentence, Yinzhen has already checked out the family's eight generations of ancestors, and only dared to go into the main courtyard if there was nothing suspicious. group.

This is the real benefit. It turns out that the small kitchen in the main courtyard can only make dim sum soup. If you want to eat big dishes, you have to go to the big kitchen to get them. Fortunately, in summer, some dishes are warm when it is cold.Originally, Nalashi refused to make this case. Zhou Ting was trying to take advantage of her pregnancy to make the small kitchen the same as the big kitchen. It would be more reassuring to watch it right under her nose. Now it would be better for Yinzhen to speak up.

Only then did Zhou Ting show her first smile after knowing that she had a child. Regardless of other things, at least he really planned for her now.The sentence that she doesn't need to worry about it, he is really doing it, Zhou Ting put aside the little troubles she had just met when she traveled through the country, and she was extra generous when giving rewards, not only Xiao Zhangzi, but everyone .

"Just tell me that I like it when you go back to the business." Zhou Ting pointed to a red coral Ganoderma lucidum ornament and confessed to the agate: "Wrap this up, and I will bring it into the palace tomorrow to present to my mother." She took the bowl and put away the rest I swallowed all the bird's nest porridge, and another tough battle is about to begin.
