At the annual banquet on the first day of the New Year in the 49th year of Kangxi, Prince Cheng and Prince Yong's Mansion Rujia were pregnant at the same time.

Ru Hui sat at the head of the bed, looking helplessly at the father and son who were both excited and worried: "It's okay." ”

Hongyao frowned: "But Eniang vomited." ”

The fourth master sat on the side and nodded: "That's it." ”

Ru Hui reached out and touched her son's little head: "Morning sickness is a normal physiological reaction, not a big problem." ”

Hongyao's brows furrowed even tighter: "The little sister-in-law of the third uncle's family has fainted, if Eniang is not raised, will she be like her, Eniang, you still lie in bed for two days and take care of yourself." ”

The fourth master nodded again: "That's right." ”

Ru Hui glared at the fourth master fiercely, then turned around and smiled to comfort Hongyao: "E-niang's body and bones are stronger than your little sister-in-law, don't worry, it will be fine." ”

Hongyao sighed like a little adult: "I know, E-Niang designated that she wanted to play, but for the sake of her younger brothers and sisters in her belly, E-Niang should not be willful, Fang Cai, Hongyao and Ama asked Master Tai, she said that you should be careful in the first three months, you had better not touch any medicinal materials." Eniang, you're going to be bored, Hongyao and Ama will read to you. ”

The fourth master smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”

Ru Hui closed her eyes: "Then you don't have to lie on the bed, right? E-Niang can go to the study to read by herself." ”

It doesn't matter if you don't have fish and shrimp, you can't enter the space, at least you have to fight for the right to read books, otherwise how can you live this day?

Hongyao turned his head in embarrassment and looked at Amma, and sure enough, he saw that he was shaking his head, so he decisively rejected his mother's opinion: "Master Tai said, reading books hurts your eyes, you should still listen to books." ”

Ru Hui felt very irritable, but she couldn't hurt her son's filial piety, "Hongyao, look, if E-Niang lets you lie still all day, will you not be able to lie down, if E-Niang keeps lying down, she will be bored." ”

Hongyao thought about it and wanted to nod.

The fourth master couldn't sit still: "Ah Hui, even if it's for the child in the womb, you should take care of it, the doctor also said that this baby is a little unstable." ”

Ru Hui pounced on the man with a fierce face, "Who is to blame, who is to blame?"

The fourth master twitched the corners of his mouth, and carefully guarded the woman who was buried in his chest and bit him: "The clothes are too thick, or the master will give it to you." ”

Looking at the big hand handed to her, Ru Hui grabbed it and opened her mouth to bite.

"Eniang?" Hongyao's eyes widened.

Ru Hui's movements froze, and she looked up at Hongyao: "Son, E-niang is hungry and wants to eat Lantern Festival." ”

Hongyao glanced at Amma's hand, which was tightly held by E-Niang, in confusion, and got up and walked out of the isolation door: "Xunlan, E-Niang wants to eat Lantern Festival." ”

On the bed, Ru Hui, who was holding the fourth master's hand, lowered her head and bit it.

"Ah Hui, the master still wants to go to court, you bite lightly. The sharp pain in his hand made the fourth master gasp, but he didn't dare to struggle: "It's not summer, and the master can't say that the grape trellis has fallen." ”

"Grape trellises, grape trellises. Ru Hui raised her head, and her phoenix eyes were round: "You only know the grape trellis, so you can't say that you can let the cat scratch it." ”

The fourth master raised his hand and asked Ru Hui to see the clear tooth marks on the side of his wrist: "Is this tooth mouth scratched by a cat?"

Ru Hui choked: "Cat bites." ”

The fourth master burst out laughing, and quickly stretched out his hand to take the woman who was laughing and angry into his arms: "Okay, okay, I know that you annoyed me and robbed me while the fire is hot, but don't you also force the master to swallow the Qingxin Pill?"

"Am I annoyed that you are robbing while the fire is hot?" Ru Hui, who was tightly circled by the man, struggled hard, but couldn't break free from the man's shackles at all, and finally could only lean on the man's arms in resignation: "What annoys me is that you indulge in it before you fully recuperate your body, you said yourself, how long did you make trouble that day?"

Thinking of that crazy night, even if it was more than a month ago, Ru Hui was still ashamed and indignant: "If you don't let your heart be clear, who knows when you will be able to take care of your body." ”

"The effect of the Qingxin Pill can last for a year. The fourth master sighed: "For the sake of the master who is going to spend a year of cultivation, Ah Hui, don't you stop being angry, if you are angry, you are really afraid that the child in your belly will be angry in the future." ”

Lying on the man's chest, Ru Hui took a deep breath, not angry, not angry, for the sake of the child in her belly, she couldn't be angry anymore.

Listening to the muttering of the woman in his arms, the corners of the fourth master's lips were lightly raised, to restrain this woman, it was really most effective to use the child as a raft.

Outside the isolation door, Ru Fu tightly covered Hongyao's mouth and hugged him into the Ming Hall.

"Uncle, why did you take me out. Hongyao, who was placed on the chair, looked at Ru Fu who was sitting next to him and drinking tea leisurely: "I still have to talk to Eniang." ”

Ru Fu raised his eyebrows lightly, "Hongyao, you see that you used your uncle's medicine last time, when will you make up for your uncle." ”

Hearing his uncle mention the last time he was drugged by himself, Hongyao suddenly became a little short of breath: "Uncle, Hongyao listens to you." ”

Ru Fu stared at his nephew with a weak face, and snorted coldly in his heart, the little cub hurt him, I really thought that that matter could be let go gently, and wait, he could always make up for it.

Bowed his head and took another sip of tea in the cup, Ru Fu sighed happily: "It's still good for my sister here, this tea is absolute." ”

Hongyao glanced at his uncle, thought about it, raised his little face and looked at his uncle with a flattering face: "Uncle, if you like this tea, my nephew will find your mother for you." ”

Ru Fu sneered: "Little cub, your uncle wants tea, and he will ask your mother for it, and he owes you a favor for anything." ”

Hongyao jumped off the chair, leaned over to Ru Fu's side, pulled his sleeve and shook it: "Uncle, you have a lot of adults, so don't worry about those little things in the past." ”

"Little thing?" Ru Fu put down the tea cup in his hand, bent down and picked up his nephew and put it on his lap: "Do you know that my uncle didn't eat and sleep well in those months, and he didn't have a day of worry?"

Speaking of the days when Hongyao stole into the East Courtyard, Ru Fu looked down at his nephew, gritted his teeth and sneered: "You have to worry about your mother, you have to worry about your Ama, and you have to worry about your little cub, every day I receive letters from your grandmother and grandmother, ninety! Ninety letters, how many days have you lived in the East Courtyard, how many days have your uncle been scolded, tell me yourself, what should I do?"

Hongyao, who was short of breath, honestly sat on his uncle's lap and didn't dare to move: "Uncle, you see, my nephew is young and short-sighted, you just let this happen, it's a big deal, my nephew let you beat you up." ”

"Beat up?" Ru Fu sneered: "Don't think about good things." ”

Reaching out and taking out a letter from his arms and handing it to Hongyao, Ru Fu picked his chin: "Open, read." ”

Hongyao hesitated to take the letter and looked up at his uncle.

Ru Fu picked his chin again.

Hongyao, who was reluctant to open the letter, unfolded the letter paper: "Ru Fu Wu'er, see the letter as face, you come to the letter, I and your mother have all known, your father just wants to ask a sentence for the four-year-old child counted as my son: raising pigs can still eat meat, what is the use of raising Er?"

Raising pigs can still eat meat, what is the use of raising them!

Hongyao looked up at his uncle sluggishly, "Uncle, this is a spiritual attack. ”

Ru Fu smiled gently: "Your uncle and I have been poisoned by this kind of mental attack for three whole months, Hongyao, tell me, if your uncle is perverted in this situation, is it also a normal thing?"

Perverted!

Hongyao wanted to find a shell to shrink in now, and his uncle who was shrouded in black gas but smiled softly was so terrifying.

"It's okay, baby. Ru Futi slipped up his trembling nephew and walked out of the east courtyard leisurely: "Since you Ama has been promoted to the prince, the affairs of the palace have increased greatly, and your uncle is lacking a helper, Hongyao, do you want the letter in your hand?"

Hongyao, who was carried out of the East Courtyard like a kitten, kicked the two short legs hanging in the air, and after confirming that he could not touch the ground, he nodded resignedly: "I want to." ”

Hongyao clenched the letter in his hand, and secretly swore in his heart that as long as he found an opportunity, he would definitely burn the letter in his hand, this is not a letter from his loving grandfather who will come every month, but an ironclad proof of his nephew's betrayal of his uncle's trust, as long as this ironclad evidence exists for a day, it will be a stain on his Hongyao.

He is grandiose and must not have a stain.

Ru Fu's face showed a demonic sweet smile that countless enemies called "devil smile" on his way in the future: "Then help my uncle work hard." ”

Prince Yong's Mansion Yin'an Palace West Wing Study, is the fourth master specially for Ru Fu to clean up for the official affairs of Prince Yong's Mansion study, every day, Ru Fu his own small study to do his homework, he will come here to be called as an old cattle, and today, he found a calf for himself to share.

Gao Beyong looked distressed at the fourth elder brother who was carved like a jade doll by Master Ru Jia to deal with the government affairs that should have been handled by himself, but he couldn't make a sound, and the torment in his heart made him almost unable to stay in the study.

It's a pity that the blackened Ru Fu didn't give Gao Beiyong a chance to escape at all.

"Manager Gao, shouldn't the pregnancy ceremony of Fujin on the side of Prince He Cheng's mansion be prepared by Sifujin? Why did you hand the master's note to the study of the West Wing?

Gao Beiyong put the booklet in his hand into the bookshelf against the wall, turned around and replied: "The master said that he borrowed the joy of the third master, and our family also wanted to add Ding to import, so he sent the third master a few small things to express his gratitude." ”

The corners of Ru Fu's mouth twitched, the fourth master is now rich and happy, it is indeed possible to do such a thing, yes, choose a few gifts that are both festive and elegant.

Quickly went through the things in the fourth master's warehouse, Ru Fu raised the pen and wrote a gift list and handed it to Hongyao: "You follow Mr. Gao to the warehouse to see, and then come back to match the inventory." ”

Gao Beyong's heart twitched fiercely, and he started again, asking a five-year-old child to do something that several adults couldn't do, and his face was as relaxed as drinking tea......

"If the fourth elder brother is tired, you can find Ru Jia and Fujin. After Gao Beiyong walked into the warehouse, he quietly reminded Hongyao.

Hongyao looked up at Gao Beyong, who bent over and looked at him with a worried face, and sighed vicissitudes: "Hongyao knows the good intentions of my father-in-law, but my uncle said that Hongyao can't escape if he works to get over." ”

Hongyao, who sighed again, raised his hand and instructed the eunuch guarding the warehouse to move the high ladder and began to keep inventory in the same way.

It was night, Gao Beyong couldn't hold back in the end, and told the fourth master about Ru Fu's call to Hongyao.

The fourth master put down the secret report at the sticky rod in his hand, thought about it, and then smiled: "That kid did it on purpose, it must be what his father-in-law said." ”

Gao Beyong's mind turned around and understood.

Lord Ru, who is far away in Sichuan and Shu, doesn't know how his grandfather treats Master Ru Jia, so he must remind Master Ru Jia to avoid suspicion, after all, letting a courtier have full authority to handle the affairs of the master's mansion is too excessive, but the little lady Ru Jia has been dealing with it for a while, and it is impossible to get rid of her hands, so Master Ru Jia, who was scolded by her father, wanted to let Brother Hongyao work together.

"If the fourth elder brother is a few years longer, it will be fine. Gao Beiyong sighed: "The slave is really afraid that the fourth elder brother will worry too much about his mind at a young age." ”

The corners of the fourth master's lips curled: "Five years old is not too young, back then, the master has been making his own decisions since he was five years old, and he didn't mess up when he entered the elder brother's office at the age of six." ”

Gao Beiyong wanted to remind his master that the affairs of an elder brother could not be compared with the volume of a prince's mansion.

The fourth master looked at Gao Beyong's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, how could he not know what he was going to say, but: "Hongyao's qualifications are far better than mine, Ru Fu also has a number in his heart, you don't have to worry too much about the things in the West Wing study, but you must watch Hongyao eat and go to bed, Ah Hui is pregnant this time, and her spirit is shorter, she said that she has been pregnant for three years, and she is afraid that she will not pay attention to Hongyao, so she pulled me to chant for an afternoon...... "The fourth master stopped," ...... In this way, Su Peisheng was transferred to Hongyao's side, and I looked at him coldly for a few years, and he was a good one. ”

Gao Beiyong bent down to answer, and in his heart, he once again raised the importance of Brother Hongyao.

"Li Fangfujin let people send news today, saying that the second elder brother of Hongyun and the third elder brother of Hongshi miss the master, please go and see, because the master is in the east courtyard, the slave replied that he could tell the master's orders and then replied. ”

"Ye was about to talk to her, Hongyun was just that, Hongshi was really stubborn. The fourth master looked at the affairs that had been dealt with almost completely, and simply stood up: "Let's rest in her courtyard today." ”

Gao Beiyong answered, turned around and went out to deliver a message to Li Fangfujin's courtyard.

……

Li received the message from the front yard, and his long-hanging heart suddenly fell into place.

"Okay, the master promised to come, and he must not blame me. ”

Wiping a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes, Li happily instructed the girls to dress up for themselves, and asked people to go to the big kitchen to order a few dishes that the master was happy with.

"Have people get the water ready. Li sat in front of the mirror, the corners of his eyes fluttering, "I may not use it at night." ”

The big girl who combed Li's hair congratulated Li softly, and then kept silent, and Mu Ne's performance was like a scoop of cold water poured on Li's head.

Li's action of tidying up the placket, since forty-four years, she led people through Ru Jia's yard, the lord never touched her again, every time she came to her yard either to go through the motions, or for the children, the people around her were all replaced by Fujin and the lord's people after round of cleaning, and there was no one to be hearted.

All the women in the house want to take advantage of Ru Jia's pregnancy to compete for favor, but no one is as fast as hers, but fast is really effective?

Li Shi looked at the familiar face in the mirror blankly, and subconsciously reached out to stroke the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, she was two years older than her grandfather, and she was no longer young.

After the epidemic, is the master even more unkind to see her?

"E-niang. Hongyun looked at the girl who walked out of the bedroom with a look of wandering, and called worriedly.

Li came back to his senses, looked at the eldest son with a worried face, pulled the younger son to him, quickly gathered his mind, and said with a smile: "You Ama will come later, Hongyun, if there is anything you don't understand in your homework, just ask someone Amma, do you know?"

He also told his youngest son: "Hongshi, you can't make your Ama angry anymore, it's just pretending, you have to pretend to be a favorite reader for Eniang, you know?"

When Hongyun nodded obediently, Hongshi rolled his eyes: "Reading, what is there to read about that broken book, the master was pressed by Hongyao's in the outer courtyard during the day, and you still talk about it all day long, Eniang, can you let your son live a quiet life." ”

"Presumptuous!" a furious shout rang out from the door.

The mother and son in the house looked at the man who strode into the room with an angry robe: "Master!"

"Amma!" exclaimed.

Hongyun sighed, walked out, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him: "Son Hongyun invites Ama'an, the younger brother is stubborn and doesn't choose his words, beg Ama to spare him when he is young." ”

"Young. The fourth master sneered: "Foul language, insulting siblings, where is he just stubborn, he is simply inferior in character." ”

lifted Hongyun up from the ground, and the fourth master turned his head abruptly and glared at Li fiercely: "With the son and mother, if you don't cultivate your virtue in front of your children, how could Hongshi learn to be so harsh and obscene?"

"Cheap seed?" The fourth master looked at Hongshi, who was next to Li's leg, with a look of horror and silence, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You are the master's species, Hongyao is also the master's species, Hongyao is a cheap species, what are you?"

Pushing the Li family away, the fourth master bent down and looked at the five-year-old third son: "You are older than Hongyao, and your homework is not as good as him, after all, everyone has different talents, and the master has never thought of being harsh on you, but the master has never thought that you are not only inferior in qualifications, but also inferior in character."

Hongshi, do you know that Hongyao has been asking Mr. Wu to suppress the professor's speed for fear of dampening your interest in reading?

For your brother who thinks about you so much, you insult him like this behind his back?

Is that heart in your chest red?"
