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

Chapter 65

The two children were fed and slept enough, and the wet nurse changed them into new clothes before they were carried in front of Zhou Ting. The second elder brother Hong Yun was already five years old, but he was thin and small, and he looked listless. Yinzhen Knowing that this is a disease of insufficiency, the flesh on his face has not recovered from his illness last time, but the third elder brother Hongshi is chubby, he is hugged by a wet nurse and even uses two small ball-like hands rub your eyes.

"Hurry up and grab the little elder brother, so as not to bring the unclean things on your hands into your eyes." Zhou Ting had a big belly, so she asked the nurse to hug her and touch her green scalp. The third elder brother couldn't speak, and was caught Mammy clasped her hands and kowtowed. The second elder brother already knew something about the personnel. He knew that the woman sitting on top was the aunt who had been pressing down on his mother-in-law. Told, be sure to treat her affectionately, but still thinking about my mother-in-law, raised her eyes and bit her lip to look at Zhou Ting.

Children are the most sensitive, even if they don't say anything in front of him, he can still detect the changes in the attitudes of the people around him.He used to love and dote on him, but suddenly not only his mother was too sick to get out of bed, but his father stopped coming to see him. Not only the girls, but even the wet nurses were very careful when mentioning Zhou Ting, feeling faintly concerned about Zhou Ting. Ting was a little hostile. When Zhou Ting touched his head, she turned her face away to prevent her from touching it, and raised her hand to push her hand away, but the wet nurse grabbed her and pressed down.

Yinzhen frowned and lost his temper: "What do you look like, who taught you!" In Yinzhen's eyes, Hongyun's appearance is disrespectful to his aunt. Now that Zhou Ting is kind, the children must respect her. He stared at the wet nurse fiercely, and the following slaves were stared with chills down their spines.

The nurse hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, Hong Yun was frightened, turned around and hid his head in the nurse's arms, seeing Yinzhen frowned, and sighed in his mind calculating his age.

Zhou Ting stopped Yinzhen: "Really, he is still young. He is usually in poor health and doesn't come to greet me often. Now he is a little scared when he is in a strange place. How can he be so aggressive with a child. In one sentence, he pretended to be a loving mother and implied that Mrs. Li didn't understand the rules. He even asked the wet nurse to hug Hongyun, sat beside him, and gave him some gadgets that had been prepared in advance. .

Hong Yun refused at first, but he was still a child after all. Seeing brightly colored things, he couldn't help holding them in his hands and playing with them. At this time, Zhou Ting slowly asked him "Is the house good?" "Is the house comfortable?" Not feeling well," "Is there anything you want to eat" and so on, after a while Hongyun was holding the cloth tiger in one hand and trying to reach for the sugar cakes on the kang table with the other.

Manao wrung the towel and came over. Zhou Ting personally took Hong Yun's little hand to wipe him clean, and then pinched a piece of sugar cake for him. At this time, Hong Yun was not awkward, and he hugged Hong Yun in the nurse's hand while eating. younger brother waved.

Yinzhen's gaze at Zhou Ting softened, and she sat on the other side of Zhou Ting and held her hand slightly harder. Zhou Ting turned her face to smile at him, and held Yinzhen with her backhand.

Hongshi was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and he wanted something new when he saw something new. Zhou Ting noticed it with a few babbles, and handed it over with a small windmill. Just follow along, and spit out a bubble of saliva when he smiles.

The crime is not as good as the children, not to mention that Yinzhen's blood is still flowing on the two children. Zhou Ting also figured it out after the afternoon. spent all afternoon with her.

As long as he is not cold-blooded to the extreme, he must still love the child. No matter how much he hates Li Shi in his heart, the child is still his own. Now he didn't think about it. Zhou Ting.She did it well first, and Yinzhen felt that she was a good mother and wife.

The two children were tired after arguing for a while, and Hong Yun was less energetic than Hong Shi. At the age of five, they were still being carried back and forth by the wet nurse. When they all returned to the house, Zhou Ting mentioned this: "I have raised them so much. It's been a long time, why is Hong Yun's body still not well adjusted, will I invite the imperial doctor back tomorrow to see what to eat and drink?"

Yinzhen knew in his heart that this son would not live long, so he didn't hold out any hope at first, so he replied, "I see him as a lucky man, so you don't have to worry too much about it." Living to the age of 11 was already very difficult, and I didn't know how much medicine to regulate the body, but it didn't get better, so Yinzhen didn't have much hope for him in this life.

Zhou Ting frowned, repeated the words back and forth three times in her heart but couldn't understand what he meant, she thought for a while before she said: "How can I say that, I just raised it with my heart, I see that although Hongyun has shortcomings But the spirit is still good." The death rate of children in this era is too high, even if they are born in the royal family, it is not out of line for parents to discuss it, but Yinzhen's tone made Zhou Ting feel strange, and she stopped talking about the topic. Continuing, anyway, she does her best to raise her, and shows it to Yinzhen from time to time. If there is something wrong with this, at least Yinzhen won't feel that she has tampered with anything.

The two said a few more words and Zhou Ting brought the topic to the poetry meeting: "I also asked the third sister-in-law today. This is often done in the third elder brother's mansion. These people who come here already have what they like to eat and drink. It’s clear, just one, will you open a yard for them to enjoy at that time? I’ll give orders first, and tell the subordinates not to wander around.” In fact, the main thing is to keep an eye on the women below, not like the new moon in the eighth prince’s mansion. It seemed that one of them didn't pay close attention, and was caught by Eighth Prince's staff.

"He must have a look at the magnolia flowers in our yard. Think about where to hold the banquet." Yinzhen untied the purse tied around his waist and threw it on the Kang table, then fell on his back on the big pillow, turning his hands He Zhuo gave half of Yunyu's good reputation to him. Among the people who associate with Yunzhi, there are not many people who are as famous as He Zhuo. Since he intends to gain a good reputation among Jiangnan literati, he must Work hard on this aspect, there are both Yunzhi and Yunsi in front of him, no one can say that he has ulterior motives.

Zhou Ting recalled the viewing routes in the garden in her heart, where there are flowers, pavilions, and ponds. After thinking about it, she said: "Now that the spring is warm, it is most suitable to hold a banquet in the water pavilion. Clear out the furniture and put more tables and chairs. The Baohua magnolia that the third brother wants to see is not only in the main courtyard, but also in the garden. What can be seen is also a spring scene."

Yinzhen let out a "huh", still thinking about Wang Shihong, whom Yunzhi invited this time. He is as famous as He Zhuo, and he walks around the South Study Room. You don't need to win him over immediately, just say a few good words for him. It can also spread the reputation first.

"Did you invite the eighth elder brother? I was thinking, we have a banquet in the courtyard. Such a big movement can't be hidden from the ears of the people on the left. Why not invite the eighth elder brother?" Zhou Ting said Here I pretended to be cautious and glanced at Yinzhen: "I know you were not close to him in the past, but since Khan Ama praised you, you can't just be close to your own brother, right? You are both brothers and brothers. Neighbors, if they are still so distinct, isn’t it a disappointment to Khan Ama’s arrangement?”

Zhou Ting is selfish. Yin Zhen is still being criticized when he becomes the emperor. How many wild history novels and TV dramas have joked that his throne is not right. She has been through these days and knows how important reputation is to a person, and the impression can be increased. One point is one point, even if he doesn't have a full score by then, and has an [-], it won't make people complain about him after hundreds of years, making up that he has robbed his own brother of the throne.

After she finished speaking, she felt a little nervous. She only knew a rough idea of ​​history, but the Eighth Lord Party was very famous. If the two of them got into a fight at this time, she didn't know if the Lord would offend her, but she still wanted to say what she could say. Said, not only for Yinzhen, but also for Yiwei, such a straightforward woman, if her husband is not well in the future, she will not be well either.

Yinzhen has a kind of physical dislike for Yunsi, the two were not close at first, and later Yunsi was his biggest rival in the fight for power, together with the old nine and ten even took away his son Hongshi, usually Facing the current Yunhu, he was still able to hold back his tension. He was lying comfortably at this moment and almost frowned when he heard his name.

Zhou Ting leaned against him and patted him gently: "For friendship, you have to have a relationship before you can express your feelings. This is the case with you and your fourteenth brother and one mother. Isn't it an exception with the eighth elder brother? Let me tell you, you Invite him too, and then we will spread the pen, ink, wine and food in the waterside pavilion, I don't understand the communication between men very well, but don't the third brother and those Qing customers often gather like this?"

After talking for a long time, pen and ink are the key points. None of the literati who Zhou Ting knows is good at poetry, calligraphy, piano and chess. You know, he really has nothing to do in the field of art. Yin Zhen can overwhelmingly surpass him with just a single word. He is not afraid of ignorance, but he is afraid of comparing goods. When the time comes, put the two of them together. Naturally, he can tell the difference between the good and the bad, and Yinzhen would not be so stupid if he thinks about it, he naturally knows how to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses in his territory.

Yinzhen hasn't come to his senses yet, what he's looking at now is Kangxi's evaluation of him, thinking that Khan Ama arranged the two of them as neighbors, and it would be a little ugly if he wasn't brought along at the banquet. If you talk about the good image you have just established, you will inevitably discount it, not to mention that Yunhu is here, and you can bring He Zhuo with you, so he reluctantly nodded and said: "Tomorrow, I will post a post for him."

Zhou Ting smiled: "The eighth younger siblings also helped out today. I have a big belly, and there is no one who can tell the truth, so I have to ask her to give orders." Thinking of Yinzhen's face, she helped her. Two good words: "In fact, she is a warm-hearted person, and I don't know why she doesn't like Khan Ama." Kangxi has an opinion on her, anyone with long eyes can see it, and no elder brother's family has a finger As for the eighteenth court ladies, all of them looked rich, and they were short of engraving the words "good fertility" on their faces.

Yinzhen sneered, picked up the washed fruit on the table and took a bite, frowning sourly, knowing that it was Zhou Ting's favorite food, so he handed it to her, watching her take a bite right next to her own tooth marks , hooked the corners of her mouth: "No matter how quick she is, as long as she has no children, she won't be liked by Han Ama." The later Yunhu would not be said to be afraid of his wife like a tiger.

Zhou Ting opened her mouth to speak but stopped, Yinzhen raised her brows: "Is there anything else you can't say to me." Reaching out to touch her back, Zhou Ting lowered her voice: "It's not that I haven't been there before." In Bianfu, the yard is much more full than ours, the eighth younger siblings only want a girl, and the girl next to her originally said she would go out with her, but she also stayed with the eighth elder brother, there is no news about it..." The following words will not Let's go on.

Yinzhen was stunned, and couldn't hold back the usual expression on his face. His thinking was in the same line as Kangxi's. In this regard, all brothers were very similar, and it was shocking to protect his shortcomings. Even when he was desperately suppressing Yunsi, he also I never thought that he was really "not capable enough", I just thought he was afraid of his wife.

Yinzhen turned his head to look at Zhou Ting's face, and saw his wife's cheeks flushed, and she turned her face to fiddle with the hem of her clothes, her voice could not be heard unless she listened carefully: "It's not just this acre of land that's in default, It’s impossible to harvest every mu of grain.” It’s impossible for every mu to be saline-alkali land, so it can only be that the seeds are fried and cannot germinate.

Zhou Ting turned her head to look at the glazed lamp, but instead of looking at the expression on Yinzhen's face, the man stretched out his paws and touched her belly, kicking right and left, Yinzhen grinned , complacent, the seed is a good seed, and the land is also a good land.
