After these words, both husband and wife were moved. Seeing each other's faces turn red, they both wanted to calm down. They sat cross-legged across the coffee table and settled down to sip a cup of tea.
"This tea is very good, where did it come from?"
"Our family always gets the first share of the good things from the Yonghe Palace as a reward from our mother-in-law."
Yinzhen said: "In the future, we will get married at the age of thirty-four. As my sister-in-law, you should be more careful."
Yu Xi nodded: "This is natural. If the sisters-in-law are easy to get along with, I will definitely treat them as sisters. But if they are like my third elder brother's family, don't blame me for being cold. I really can't afford to offend them."
Yinzhen said with a smile: "My third brother is such an honest man, why did Emperor Ama choose such a tough daughter-in-law? She is so old that even Concubine Rong cannot surrender."
Yu Xi said: "But the third brother and her are very affectionate, aren't they? One family doesn't know the other's affairs, and they just want to be nice behind closed doors. What should outsiders have to worry about? I'm just talking about the relationship between sisters-in-law, and I don't like it."
It’s just her.”
Yinzhen also agreed with this and said with a smile: "Based on Emperor Ama's feelings for E Niang, he would never choose a powerful daughter-in-law to make her angry. Besides, you are so good. Don't Thirty-Four choose a daughter-in-law more than your elder sister-in-law?"
.”
"That's not serious."
"You distorted my meaning."
The young couple smiled at each other, and Yuxi took a small piece of plum blossom cake and stuffed it into her husband's mouth, and said angrily: "It's not dark yet, brother Si, let's talk seriously."
Yinzhen slowly swallowed the pastry, thought for a moment when he picked up the teacup, and then said: "You and I still have to be more cautious about those words just now. Saying a word is a capital crime, and it will also mess up the greed of the mind.
"
Yuxi was very calm: "So Fourth Brother should study more and learn more from the ministers. I am the same. We are nothing but big words."
Yinzhen was very satisfied that his wife and he were of the same mind, but it was a pity that he couldn't take a good stroll around Changchun Garden today, and he didn't know what he was busy with, so the whole day passed.
Soon after, it was getting dark, and the servants in the kitchen delivered the meals to the main courtyard. In various places in the Xiyuan, Mrs. Fujin and Li stood neatly under the courtyard door. Along with the servants who delivered the meals, there were also people who went to the main courtyard.
The maid who greeted me at the hospital came back and said this awkward reply every day: "Sir Brother and Fujin said that they are exempt from the courtesy, please let Fujin eat on his own."
The corner of Li's mouth trembled slightly, and she turned back to her room expressionlessly.
This is the rule in the house. The side rooms and concubines have to pay their respects to the fourth elder brother and the direct descendant Fujin every day, morning and dusk, rain or shine, even if the direct descendant Fujin does not want to see them every day, even if the fourth elder brother only sees them when necessary.
Only then would she think of them, and she would wait respectfully and prepare for them, every day.
Back in the room, Mrs. Li kicked the bottom of the flower pot away from her feet, fell on the bed, covered her head and sulked.
"Master, let's eat first."
"No appetite, withdraw."
"The kitchen will ask you later why you don't want to eat, and then send it to the main courtyard..."
Li's heart suddenly became angry. She stood up and pointed at the maid's nose and cursed: "Even in the Forbidden City, there are no such big rules. What's wrong with not eating? Didn't Qi Chuli even write this sentence? The fourth brother is going to divorce."
Can’t I?”
The maid didn't dare to say anything, but she knew in her heart that today a clear message came back, saying that Si Fujin was going to stay one night in Changchun Garden. Fu Jin dressed up carefully and looked forward to Si Brother returning home. Who would have expected that Fujin would arrive first, and even
I met her dressed up.
At that time, Fujin didn't say anything and was as friendly as before, but the servants all saw it and knew that it was not possible to invite favors from Fujin, and he was still humiliated in front of his master.
"A few years earlier... I was at least an equal wife. How could I, a rich young lady, become a slave and a concubine?" Mrs. Li cried and said, "I can't even look at the daughter I gave birth to through my own efforts...
…”
"Master, please keep your voice down, Song Ge will come to watch the joke later."
"Obviously, Zhou Fujin was also canonized, and she was still treated as an equal wife a few years ago. Why did she change her status?" Mrs. Li gritted her teeth with hatred, "I am a daughter of a serious family, and I came to be a concubine."
"master……"
"I am still a serious concubine, and Concubine De is the concubine, and she is still a slave. But why does she hold up the Uranala clan and treat me, a famous concubine, as a despicable person like the Song clan?
I'm treated like a slave." The more Li talked, the more annoyed she became. She beat the pillow beside her angrily, opened her eyes and said, "It's never my place to go to the palace for banquets, and I'm not allowed to show up when there are happy events in the clan. After the birth of Dage,
Others come to congratulate you, and the gifts are sent to the main courtyard. What does it matter to me?"
"Master, stop talking."
"She gave birth to a son and was snatched away by others, so why not allow her grandson to be raised in her own mother's lap?"
The maid hurriedly closed the door and window, and knelt down to beg Fu Jin to calm down. Mrs. Li also knew that if these words spread, she would have no chance of survival, and she would even cry into her pillow.
"I thought, I thought he was good..."
Before Mrs. Li could say the next words, the door of the room was banged loudly, and the servants on duty outside shouted: "Zi Fujin, Fourth Brother is here, we are almost outside Xiyuan."
Li was stunned with tears hanging down her face, thinking that she was too sad and had become hysterical, but a voice came from outside the door again: "Master, Fourth Brother is here."
She hurriedly wiped away her tears, and the maid also hurriedly picked up the flowerpot-soled shoes that were kicked away by Xi Fujin. She hurriedly put them on and hurried to the courtyard gate to greet her.
Not long after, Yinzhen arrived. Before he could get closer, he suddenly stopped and looked around.
Mrs. Li was panicked and stepped forward unconsciously, but she heard the fourth elder brother say: "The bamboo forest here is too dense, and it makes noise when the wind blows. Fu Jin sleeps lightly, and it is windy at night, how can she sleep peacefully?"
Xiao Hezi on the side responded quickly and said that he would send a gardener to take care of it tomorrow.
"Bless me, Fourth Brother." After Li saluted, he tried to calm down and asked, "It's dinner time, won't you have dinner with Fujin?"
Yinzhen said gently: "Changchun Garden is a large area. Fujin seldom walks around on weekdays. He is tired after walking in the garden for half a day and doesn't want to eat dinner. Now Nian Tong has fallen asleep again. It's quiet in the main courtyard. I'll come
Sit down here and have a meal together."
Mrs. Li was so surprised that she didn't care to figure out what was going on. Now that she could wait for people to come into the house, it was her dignity and glory. Even if she suppressed Mr. Song's arrogance, she was still happy.
The group of people returned to the house, but under the candlelight, Yinzhen saw her face clearly. Li's crying just now was not like silent tears that could be covered up by makeup. At this moment, not only her eyebrows and eyes were red and swollen, but also her hair was covered with hair.
It's a bit messy, and the tassels on the temples are all twisted into the hairpin.
"You cried?"
"No, it's not..."
Yinzhen frowned slightly: "Look at this, I still cried a lot."
Mrs. Li was so frightened that her knees weakened and she knelt down and said, "My dear, please forgive me. I'm homesick. I shouldn't shed tears for no reason."
Yinzhen was kind-hearted: "If you feel homesick, write a letter to your family, or invite them to come to Beijing for a visit. This means you will have to be detained in the past year. Will your father go to Beijing to report on his work?" This chapter has been completed!
