The garden of Sibeile Mansion is built on the west side of the mansion, there are rockery pavilions, pavilion pools, and there are also dry willows along the ponds, pines and cypresses in winter.

In Beijing in February, it was early spring, but there was especially residual snow on the side of the road, and in the garden of Baylor House, except for the pines and cypresses, the rest of the trees had no green leaves, only the bald branches stretched, unsheltered and naked, exposed to the cold and cold wind, obviously a living tree, but it looked like it was about to die immediately.

Ru Hui pulled Hongyao to stand under a tree by the pool, looked up at the ugly branches above her head, listened to the sound of warblers and swallows from the pavilion not far away, and said with a smile, Ru Hui's suppressed and soft voice came into Hongyao's ears: "Hongyao, do you also like to be lively?"

The little animal's intuition prompted Hongyao to hold Eniang's hand tightly and dare not move.

didn't hear her son's answer, Ru Hui lowered her head.

Worried, anxious, the four-year-old child's eyes showed emotions that should not be his age.

Seeing that her son's black and white eyes were clear without a trace of impurities, Ru Hui smiled miserably: "I'm sorry, Hongyao, Eniang is not a good Eniang, even if it is for you, I don't want to let go of pride and learn to disguise." ”

Hongyao stretched out his hand and tiptoed to wipe away the teardrops that slipped from Ru Hui's cheeks, "Eniang, don't be sad." ”

The child's words caused Ru Hui's tears to fall like raindrops, squatting down, burying her head in her son's small chest, Ru Hui took a few breaths quickly: "E-Niang is not sad, even if she is sad, E-Niang found it herself, take a shortcut, you will always pay the price, this is the price that E-niang should pay." ”

At the beginning, in order to do it once and for all, in order not to bring bad luck to her family in this life, she chose the man who would become the final victor to be her patron, and she was actually mentally prepared for everything she is facing now, and even, over the years, she is grateful to this man, because he gave her the greatest indulgence he can give.

In this era of repression of the female ego, she can live such a comfortable life now, or because the fourth master is an enlightened man, he is confident, therefore, he has never suppressed her, he is strong, he can protect her under his wings, so that she does not have to worry about becoming an object to be fought for, he is self-disciplined, and respects her in his way...... So, in the end, she will be sad, in fact, because she asks too much.

Since entering the house at the age of ten, to this year, except for going to Fujin to ask for peace, she has always avoided the women in the backyard, hiding for a few years, in the end she still has to be forced to face the reality, this time, she really saw clearly in her heart, in the heart of the fourth master, he doted on the woman he chose, but every woman living in the house also has a place in his heart.

Looking at the man in the pavilion in the distance, who was snuggling in a group of women, with a comfortable expression and a relaxed attitude, Ru Hui chuckled, trampled the growing love in her heart to death, and also stepped on the sorrow in her heart to the end, raised her head, Ru Hui's eyes became bright again, and met Shang Hongyao's black and white eyes, "Son, E-Niang wants to go and see your master now, do you stay and play with Amma, or go back with E-Niang?"

Hongyao thought for a while: "I'll go with Eniang to see Master Tai." ”

Ru Hui stretched out her hand and touched her son's fluffy little head lovingly: "Although I know that it shouldn't be, but with such a good son, E-Niang just doesn't want to wronged herself anymore." ”

was praised by Eniang.

Hongyao's eyes lit up suddenly.

Looking at her son's bright eyes, Ru Hui laughed, leaned over and kissed her son's tender little face, and said proudly: "With an excellent and sensible son, E-Niang has capricious capital, just ask, in the entire Qing Dynasty, which woman is as lucky as my Ru Hui." ”

Hongyao pursed his lips, trying not to show a silly smile, but he didn't succeed, and he had a red face in Eniang's eyes, and he couldn't close his mouth at all.

So the mother and son hugged each other like this, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't stop laughing at all.

In the distance, a big girl who didn't know which yard was spying on this side of the situation quietly shrank back, and another little girl who didn't know seemed to fall inadvertently, got up and sat on a stone and rubbed her feet, while rubbing while paying attention to the mother and son who hugged and laughed by the pool.

The group of women in the backyard united again, and this time the drama was-

Compete for favor!

If they make a move, does she have to take it?

Ru Hui chuckled lightly and beckoned the little girl who had been rubbing her legs.

"In which yard did you serve?"

The little girl knelt on the ground in fright, and replied in fear: "The slave is from the courtyard of Wugege." ”

Looking at the little girl's head almost buried in the residual snow, Ru Hui shook her head helplessly: "Get up, call you over, just let you send a message." ”

Xunlan snorted, walked out from behind Ru Hui, and pulled the little girl up from the ground.

When the little girl knelt down in the residual snow, the women in the pavilion in the distance stopped talking and laughing, and looked at a mother and son by the pool, and the men surrounded by them also noticed the abnormality and looked at the pool.

The ears suddenly quieted down, but Ru Hui did not change her original intention, she asked Xunlan to reward the little girl with a silver horn: "You go and send a message to the master, just say that I want to go back to see Mama Qin, so I won't have fun with him, let him have fun with everyone." ”

After giving the message, Ru Hui raised her head, squatted down to the people in the pavilion on the heights, and after getting up, a bright smile appeared on her face, and then she threw off her robe, resolutely turned around, and pulled her son out of the garden.

The flowers are blooming, looking down on the flashiness, the smile, the Shaohua is extremely good, and it is obviously gorgeous and flamboyant to the extreme, but everyone clearly sees the indifference from it.

Seeing Ru Hui fleeing without a fight, the women in the pavilion were in high spirits, their eyes were shining, and they surrounded the men, talking and laughing more lively.

The little girl was brought into the pavilion and tremblingly relayed the words left by Ru Hui.

"Yo, Sister Ru Jia is leaving, it's a pity that the big guys get together. Li raised his handkerchief to block the smugness on his lips.

"Ru Jia has always loved quiet, probably because he thinks we are making trouble. Wu smiled delicately beside the man, looking at the man's heroic eyebrows with full attachment: "But who told the master not to go into the backyard for a long time, we haven't seen the master for a few months, this time, there are endless words, a moment of gaffe, I think Ru Jia side Fujin will not blame us." ”

"Alas, Fang Fujin said, she went to see Mama Qin, and it wasn't that she didn't want to play with everyone, don't say it, come, I brought the clothes made for the master, and everyone served the master to wear them to see if they fit. With a smile on the corner of his lips, Song took a coat from the big girl behind him, surrounded him with a group of women, and served him directly on the man.

"Alas, Sister Song's craftsmanship is good, look at it, how it fits. Wu Ya's hand gently stroked the man's back: "Look at the embroidery of this belt, Sister Song has spent a lot of effort." ”

Song covered his mouth and laughed: "Isn't it willing to spend more effort to make clothes for my grandfather?"

Wu Yashi stomped his foot and threw himself into the man's arms: "Master, look, Sister Song is making fun of the concubine, you can tell her quickly." ”

The smiling flowers beside him, the woman in his arms twisting and rubbing, and the appearance of anger and shame evoked the man's somewhat distant thoughts, making him ignore the inexplicable uneasiness floating in his heart, and asked her with a smile if she had embroidered a purse for herself.

In the pavilion, the liveliness resumed again, but the man in the gentle township didn't know that his seven or eight years of hard work had all been lost today, and a door that he had been looking forward to countless times had been slammed shut.

He didn't know, so when he went to the East Courtyard at night, the reply he got was that in order to take care of the master's sick body, Ru Jia Fang Fujin rested in Mama Qin's courtyard.

For a long time after that, the people of the East Courtyard always had one reason or another to keep him out of the courtyard.

In March of the 48th year of Kangxi, the emperor reinstated Yinren as the crown prince, announced the temple, and issued an edict to the world.

The court, which has been boiling for half a year, has calmed down again, but all this is a sea containing wind and waves, the sea is calm, but there are countless undercurrents at the bottom of the sea.

In the fourth month of Xia, the emperor took Fu Ning'an as the secretary of the ministry, Mu Helun as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Mu Dan as the imperial history of the left capital, and the forces of the Eight Masters suffered a major blow in the court.

In April, Ding Mao, on the patrol outside the Saiwai.

In May and June, the doors of the East Courtyard were still closed.

was rejected by the woman who was raised by himself, and the fourth master was completely helpless except for pacing in the study anxiously.

"What the hell is she doing?" the fourth master slapped the desk heavily, turned his head and glared fiercely at Ru Fu who was sitting in the study.

Ru Fu looked up at the fourth master's face that had lost a lot of weight, pursed his mouth, and looked back at the man like a trapped beast with a look of grievance: "You ask me, I ask who to go, since Mama Qin fell ill, it's been almost four months, I have never received a snack made by my sister again, such a hot day, but even the summer soup is gone, not only you are bitter, I am also bitter." ”

Looking at the brother-in-law who looked a lot of fairy wind bones after being thin, the fourth master gritted his teeth fiercely, and looked aggrieved: "It's obviously the master's own mansion, but he can't enter the door, what kind of strength is the master's life." ”

The fourth master, who finally made up his mind, straightened his waist and shouted, "Someone." ”

Gao Beyong trotted into the study, bent down and lowered his head to listen to the order: "Master, what do you command?"

"When I go to the East Courtyard, I don't believe that I can't get in. The fourth master lifted his robe, walked outside the study, and walked: "Even if you smash it today, you will smash the door that blocks the master." ”
