It was another autumn season, and Lao Kang took his six sons to the Mulan paddock to have a good time.

The day before Yin Zhen went out, he announced one thing in front of Lan Si and the Song family, which roughly means that in the future, all the big and small affairs in the fourth master's courtyard will be under my control. It seems that the nonsense I said that day has finally been fulfilled, and every qiē in this courtyard is mine, but this time Yinzhen's Mulan line does not have my share.

He took the other two women of the family with him, leaving me with an empty and dilapidated yard that I didn't need to look after.

A few days after Yinzhen left the Forbidden City with Lao Kang, Concubine De summoned me, and the simple opening remarks plus two greetings went straight to the center of the topic, that is, Yinzhen's heirs. What Lan Si and I were too careless, Jingzhu also had an accident, no matter how far and near there was nothing she couldn't think of, and what did she say should she go to the incense to ask the Buddha for peace and auspiciousness.

I would love to tell her that this is a common ill of ancient times, and even without those careless accidents, the children born at a young age like ours will not be very healthy, and it will affect the development of the mother's body, and then affect the fertility in the future, but how can this kind of topic be talked about with an ancient woman who is looking forward to holding a grandson.

I guess she saw that I was a little absent-minded, so she threw a depth charge at me, and actually wanted to send another woman to Yinzhen. Didn't she think that yard was really a little small? Did she really not know about the turmoil in that small courtyard a while ago? I don't know if Yinzhen knows about this, and how he replied to him, a caring Eniang, I have to tell her that this matter is all up to her and the fourth master, as long as I send it over, I will definitely treat it well.

I held a statue of Guanyin with a white jade send-off and shook it back to the cold courtyard, put it on the ground and sat on the ground, no matter how I looked at it, it felt weird. This Concubine De is so interesting, her son's front foot has just left, and she gave her daughter-in-law a statue of Guanyin on the back foot, which ...... It's too funny, isn't it obvious that you're expecting me to climb the wall?

I borelessly touched the gentle statue of Guanyin, white jade...... This is the legendary mutton fat jade, it's really not bad, if you make a pendant hairpin, how many pairs will you have to play.

But it wants to embarrass me like this, I and Yinzhen just tossed because of the child's affairs, it's okay not many days, and it actually reminded me of this matter again, I really can't hide it, don't these ancients have any other higher life pursuits except for giving birth to babies?

Actually, I didn't think about what the quarrel was going on that day, although the two of them yelled at each other and gave a bloody testimony to the wound on my mouth, but it would have been nice to have a good ending. It's just that the awkwardness seems a little inexplicable to me, could it be that Song's words that day reminded him of the bad things I had done? After that, I was so good to him, and it was all in vain. What the hell is this Yinzhen thinking!

Grabbed the statue of Guanyin and held it up in front of me and looked at it carefully, I actually began to miss the guy who had only been gone for a few days, and it would take more than a month to see it. Well, it's actually good to have a doll, so that even if Yinzhen isn't there, I have to play.

"Soul ......"

"Ahh I looked at Yinxiang who was squatting in front of me and slapped my chest in fright.

"What do you think? Such a straight stare. Yinxiang asked me with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"I miss a man......" I saw that Yinxiang's smile became deeper, and even laughed into a twist of sarcasm, before adding: "That man went happily with his two little wives." ”

"Are you jealous, or are you laughing at yourself?"

"It's neither, it's just stating the facts. Why are you so idle that you don't have to go to school? As soon as Lao Kang leaves, you're all happy! I put the statue of Guanyin on the ground, supported my elbows on my knees, and looked at Yinxiang.

"You're so beautiful, we're the same as usual, and we've added one more thing, and we have to give him a report on his study and thoughts every once in a while." Yinxiang conjured an envelope in his hand and shook it twice at me before continuing: "Do you have anything to hand over, together." ”

I wanted to hand over nothing, I suddenly wanted to write a letter, I wanted to tell Sù Yinzhen that I missed him a little, and I also wanted to say sweet words, but in the end it all came to naught, I sighed and shook my head and said to Yinxiang: "Forget it, old Kangte thief, I have a lesson from the past, or you can hand it yourself." ”

Yinxiang stood up and shook the hem of his robe, and actually said to me that he didn't know a word, "The truth is a thing that is difficult to change, since it can't be changed, try to accept it, if you really can't accept it, just ignore it." ”

What does this mean?

"You don't mean those women......" Seeing Yinxiang nodding his head reluctantly, I smiled dumbly.

"I'm not worried about you being careful, it's just that people are selfish, no matter what era they are, of course, modern women are even more so." Yinxiang stood in front of me and looked down at my careful wording, as if he was trying to explain to me.

"You're thinking too much about this question...... In modern times, although monogamy is practiced and there are marriage protection laws, how many couples are really protected? I didn't see a few less split-leggs, but it was even more disgusting. It's that everyone has an inferior nature, regardless of men and women, so it's better to put it on the bright side for me to see clearly. ”

Yinxiang looked at me for a while before nodding, and the corners of his mouth pulled a slight smile and said, "It's not that you were jealous for a while, your heart is quite wide." ”

I stared at Yinxiang's little back as he walked out of the courtyard gate and couldn't help but sigh, "If my heart wasn't wide, I wouldn't be able to live a long time ago." ”

Yinxiang handed over the letter not many days after he brought a reply to me, which was also a little faster, I was a little excited when I grabbed the envelope, I don't know what Yinzhen will write, no...... It's a blank slate again!

When I took out the letterhead, I found that it was not Yinzhen's handwriting, and there was a short sentence on it: "Siyue, I have been waiting for you for a year, and you are treating me like this, and I will not wait for you next year." ”

Haha, it's Tana's haunting ghost girl!

I wrote a few pages to her before I stopped, and when I was about to write the envelope, I remembered that this was going to be handed to Yinzhen, so I hurriedly took a piece of letter paper and wrote a fortune on it. I looked at the thin poem and Bibi wrote to Tana, and then I felt that it was too insincere, so I rubbed it and re-spread the letterhead, sat down at the table and carefully drew a small cartoon in the style of Cai Zhizhong, and wrote the corresponding words and sentences in each of the four pictures:

I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River.

Every day, I don't see you, and I drink the water of the Yangtze River.

When will this water stop? When has this hatred ended?

I only hope that your heart will be like my heart, and I will live up to my love.

Yinxiang grabbed the thick envelope and asked me with a helpless smile, "Are you handing in your homework?" It's even thicker than what I wrote to Emperor Lao Tzu. ”

"You can't be rude to the future emperor Lao Tzu, understand? I want to go to the grassland, but now I feel that it's a big loss not to go this time, it's annoying! I muttered coquettishly, and I didn't know if Yinxiang could understand my feelings and resentments.

"Didn't you ask your housekeeper to do so? Find something to do, don't be too idle and don't feel lost. ”

What a truth! I can't even find the words to refute it.

~~~

It took me half a month to feel the situation in the yard, how many houses, how many people, how much monthly money to settle, including how to distinguish the division of labor of each person, how to arrange shifts and rest, how to distribute the big and small girls and eunuchs in each room, how to connect the work in each room, who is responsible for supervision, and even the amount of money used by the little wives at all levels, etc., which are no less complicated than the complicated procedures in the company.

It's just that there is a problem very strict, I don't have any money! No one can tell me where to get the money......

There is no so-called housekeeper in this courtyard, usually Yinzhen takes care of these things by himself, but in fact, according to me, he really didn't care! In the days in the palace, it seems that these princes don't have to worry about money at all.

Although I always thought he was very smart, and he had Yongzheng's momentum as a backing for him, I almost forgot that he was still the fourth son of the hairy emperor. At this time, he was still in the transition stage of studying hard and getting involved in the temple for the first time, how could he use his mind on managing his family.

Miyali tune. The people who taught me are still very good, and we don't have to manage too much, and we always have to move out in the future, so I decided, even if it is a business without money, it is better to be quiet, I can't lose my strength in vain and be complained about, I haven't seen the silver two to start, and the business is not like this!

Well, business...... I still have money and feel that my life is stable.

I was leaning back on a small recliner in the courtyard and dreaming about life, when I saw Mei Yu approaching with an envelope.

"Where did it come from?" The last letter was brought by Yinxiang, and this time I changed my eyebrows...... Could it be Yinzhen's letter?

"Stuffed from outside, where do you want Fujin to be?" The joy on Meiwan's face almost made me mistakenly think that this letter was written to her by her lover.

Holding a small red leaf in my hand, my head was full of faint feelings. There is not a word on the red leaves, but there is a small dark red 'Zhen' character on the back of a closer look, which is actually printed with the small jade seal I carved for him, it turns out that this guy is also very romantic.

I casually put the leaves over my face and closed my eyes to enjoy the afternoon sun and breeze. Autumn is coming, this is the most beautiful season in the capital, and that person should come back too.

"I've hurried all the way back, but you're lying here leisurely, thinking I'm a fake."

I opened my eyes suddenly, felt something shake on my face, and saw Yinzhen's enlarged face facing in front of my eyes, and he was pinching the leaf stalk in his hand and sweeping it on my face.

I held his face and sniffed it before muttering, "Well, it's the same as the real thing, it's just a fishy smell." Pushing his face away, he turned his head and closed his eyes, and complained softly: "Even if you are dreaming, you should wash it and reappear, and you are not in a hurry to rush to the scene." ”

I was still lying on the chair steadily, but my body suddenly rose into the air, and I opened my eyes in fright, and when I reached out and grabbed a piece of clothing, I was already firmly held in my arms.

Looking at a familiar face close at hand, and touching the skin that was indeed warm, I let out an excited sigh, wrapped my arms around his neck and shouted, "It's really back." "I've been going for more than a month, but my face has darkened a little bit, but I haven't seen Lan Si and Song come back together. Although it was strange, I was still very happy, but the words I said were very beautiful, "Tanned, but it's beautiful." You're having a great time outside, have you ever made a doll or two? ”

Yinzhen gave me a very direct glance when he heard it, but his face didn't turn red, I don't know if it was dark and I couldn't see it, or if it had matured so much that I had no skin and no face in the past year, and only scolded me with a sentence of "not serious".

"I'm talking about serious things, this is what Eniang explained, and I specially gave Zun Guanyin. If you don't explain this time, you can't. "I put Concubine De out in time, I don't know if a boy of this age is still afraid of his mother, but his words sound sour.

"Really?" Yinzhen hugged me and sat on the recliner, then looked at me seriously and said, "E-Niang gave it to you, how are you going to explain?" ”

I lowered my head and tugged at his shirt and whispered, "It's hard to say this, my mother gave it to me after you left, and I can't figure out what it means." Are you telling me to find a life? ”

"You dare!" Yinzhen gritted his teeth and whispered to me, and the hand around my waist strangled me so much that I could barely lift my breath.

I patted his hand and waited for a sigh of relief before replying to him: "Who else can I find when I stay in the yard every day?" I can't find anyone even when I speak. Seeing that you are happy, I just said nonsense, how can I take it seriously. ”

Yin Zhen straightened my face to him with his hand, and said to me sternly: "Don't say this kind of thing in the future, don't even think about it." ”

I nodded helplessly, and under the threat of his eyes, I answered, "I know, I won't say it in the future, I don't even want to think about it." ”

~~~

Thinking about it, it is not very effective to send Guanyin here, and there has been no good news in the small courtyard to explain to Concubine De.

It is reassuring to note that there are no more women in the hospital.

Lan Si and Song's two women have experienced that confrontation without meeting, but they are all well-behaved, and now they can't see anything unusual when they stand together, I don't know if they really forgot the past, or they have become masters of acting. In short, if they don't make trouble, the yard will be calm, and my life will be more peaceful.

Peaceful days can also pass quickly, and when I began to calculate the time again, I suddenly realized that I had wasted five years of time in this small courtyard, and my youth and emotions seemed to have stayed here with Yinzhen.

A stable life without sorrow or joy seems to be easy to get, but I always feel that something is missing in such a day...... Not satisfactory enough.
