Chapter 179: Self-preservation
In the middle of the lake in the Zhang family's house, a willow-leaf boat slowly swung over.
Standing at the bow of the boat was the fourth master, who was wearing a hat like a fishman on his head, wearing a lake-blue single gown, with the corners of his long robe tucked at the back waist, two trouser legs rolled up, one high and one low, and a long bamboo pole in his hand to support the boat.
Compared with his dress as a boatman, Li Wei is much younger and fresher. She deliberately wore a white dress and a white skirt, with pink and pink edges, embroidered with large pieces of small flowers at the corners of the skirt, and held an oil-paper boat painted with weeping willows by the lake in her hand.
Since the first visit to the Zhang family's house, she has been thinking about rowing a boat in the lake in the house. However, when they first came to Baoding Mansion, it was still early spring, and the lake was very bleak, not to mention the lotus, and even the lotus leaves did not grow.
It's April now, the weather is warm and the days are clear, and the lake is covered with pavilions and greenery, which is endearing. Li Wei became excited, and it would be too late if she didn't swim in the lake!
The fourth master was also interested, and specially asked someone to find a willow leaf boat, and personally went to the lake to learn how to row a boat, and after learning for several days to find the trick, the white dress that Li Wei wanted was also done, and the two came to swim in the lake.
Li Wei wanted to play Miss Scholar in the lake, so he had to pretend to be a boatman who supported the boat and asked her to play the lotus girl. So he compromised, he played the boatman, and she played the lady (playing the lotus girl, the white dress was made white, okay?). People have wanted to play small and fresh for a long time! )。
After swinging around the lake, the 'boatman' listened to the command of the 'young lady', and the 'young lady' pointed lazily: "Let's go over there?" ”
He snorted and propped the boat over, and the 'young lady' pointed again: "The scenery is better over there." ”
He snorted again. She said that the lotus leaf was so interesting! The 'boatman' grinned and propped up, holding the pole to pick up the lotus leaves, but the center of gravity shifted forward, and the 'boatman' uncle began to wave his hands.
"Ahh Li Wei screamed in fright, squatting on the boat and moving over step by step to pull him, Su Peisheng raised his arms on the shore and shouted: "Come on!" The guards threw themselves into the water.
The fourth master of Zuihou still stood firm on his own by leaning on the pole, and Li Wei was sitting on the ground and hugging his legs like a laipi.
He held the leaf in his hand and said that it was a funny lotus leaf, and patted her with the leaf: "Why are you holding one of your legs?" ”
Li Wei is still a little blind, and said, "Isn't that holding your legs, and you won't be able to fall?" ”
The fourth master was amused by her, and patted her on the head with a leaf: "It's surprisingly stupid, so I don't dislike you for being so stupid." ”
The guards had already swam to the side of the boat, and had picked up the umbrella she had just thrown down from the lake, closed it and put it in the boat. The fourth master wanted to hold the boat again, but she dragged her arm and begged: "Master, my legs are still weak at this time, don't hold it up, let's swing back." ”
He helplessly looked at the bamboo pole that had been held in his hand by the guard, and just now Su Su said a word, the guard really took the bamboo pole away, and didn't dare to give it to him again.
It can be seen that in this Baoding Mansion for a month, Su Su has also established her prestige among these people.
As a master, what you want is to make it unimpeded. If he spoke, the subordinates would hesitate whether to do it, and the master would have done something indebted.
In fact, Su Su has long had this majesty, Zhao Quanbao can pass in the front yard without taboo, and everyone in the east courtyard flatters her, which is her majesty. But Susu himself didn't have this realization. Last time, she said that she was unwilling to kowtow anymore, and he said in his heart at the time: I didn't have to kowtow for a long time, but now I can be regarded as having found out?
After asking Su Su to seal the side of Fujin before, and when she gave birth one after another, he was preventing Su Su from becoming big-hearted. This is human nature, and plain nature is not exempt from vulgarity. He is not taboo about this, and he has always wanted to wait for her heart to grow up, and then he will teach her slowly.
As a result, Su Su was like a snail lying on the blades of grass after the spring rain, and when he touched one, he immediately retracted his horns and head. Status, son, and sole favor did not affect her.
Sometimes he feels that Su Su is like a person living in the deep mountains and old forests, I don't know the passage of time outside, the sea and the fields, and the days in the mountains are the same every day for her, and she has not changed. The East Courtyard is in a class of its own, it is his peach source, and it is also her shijie.
In layman's terms, it means that you are making yourself stupid.
In Su Su's eyes, she is still that Gege, not a side Fujin. So that he doesn't know what to do with her. The purity of mind is naturally haode, but you can't not have a clear understanding of your identity. She is his side Fujin, and she is the mother of Hongyu and others.
She could have held her head up and chest up, and she still thought of herself as Gege, which is called stupidity.
This trip to Baoding Mansion was also a means for him to pull her out of the East Courtyard. Leaving the East Courtyard, there was no Fujin pressure on the top, so she couldn't help but take on everything around him. After this month's training, although I will not be used to it after returning home, I will not be able to retract the courage I have practiced.
As for whether she and Fujin will fight again......
He wasn't worried at all. He knows both the personalities of Fu Jin and Su Su, and the most likely thing for these two people to do is to stand face to face and stare at each other, staring at each other for a while and returning to the house after being tired. It would be harder to get both of them to scratch with their claws than to kill them.
In the distance, the guards approached in a small boat, and the guards in the water pushed the boat and drifted to the shore.
The fourth master smiled and pulled her hand: "Stand up and sit in this kind of boat to make people laugh." ”
Li Wei couldn't cry or laugh: "I can't stand up......" It really scared her legs weak just now, and now she has no strength to stand on both legs. It feels very much like the whole class went to visit Mount Tai, and I really couldn't walk a single step while holding on to the iron cable. The teacher and classmates who stood on the flat ground after crossing the iron cable first were still shouting: "If you don't come up, you can't go down at all, there are still people behind you!" ”
Being watched by the strange tourists behind her, the pressure was too great, and she still moved up step by step.
You can't block the road and not let people go...... Life is really hard......
The boat is swinging now, and she really doesn't dare to stand. When he arrived at the shore, the fourth master asked someone to bolt the boat, and after going down, he gave her his hand: "Take the master's hand and come here, don't worry, I won't ask you to drop it." ”
She wasn't afraid when she got to the shore, but she pretended to be afraid and gave him her hand.
The two stood together, and she realized that his hat was gone, and when she looked back into the lake, the lake was rippling, and she couldn't see where the hat had drifted to.
He asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Wei said: "It's finally time for us to go home." "No matter how good it is, there is no better home.
The fourth master asked her to sit in a soft sedan chair, and just now Su Peisheng asked someone to send a sedan chair over.
He stood beside the sedan chair, held her hand and said, "If you like this lake, in the future, the master will dig you a more beautiful one than this, so that you can take a boat to play every day in the summer." ”
"Okay!" Li Wei regarded this as Emperor Yongzheng's oath, anyway, she couldn't dig it in the house, and when she turned back into the palace, she would definitely be able to find a place to dig a big lake for her to play. If you can move him to dig into the house, it would be good to be an indoor swimming pool.
The fourth master saw her eyes glowing with joy, as if the lake had been dug up, which made him laugh. Whatever others say is true, but he originally planned to go back and build a garden, and make good mountains, rivers and scenery in it, and it is not a coax to her.
After playing this day, the matter of the return trip was brought up.
Going back a month earlier than expected, Li Wei was so happy that after hearing what the fourth master said, she immediately wrote home and told Hongyu that they were going back soon. I also enclosed a timetable with the letter, and even the day I got home was calculated.
The rest of the gifts to pack up and bring back are not the same, this is all the work of Jade Bottle, Zhao Quanbao, and Su Peisheng. The jade bottle and Su Peisheng handed her a list, which were the gifts that the fourth master and her received in Baoding Mansion this month. There were more than 20 boxes of these things alone, and there were twice as many bags on the return trip.
The Zhang family specially gave her six boxes, and there were also two boxes that she was entrusted to bring to Fujin. Since she invited the daughters of the Zhang family to come in and meet, the Zhang family has sent some things in from time to time.
All kinds of good things are the same as not asking for money.
That day, when she was playing with a jade carved small kang screen given by the Zhang family, she worriedly told the fourth master that she didn't know what the Zhang family wanted to ask for such a generous gift?
The fourth master smiled: "What can happen?" The Zhang family is an ordinary family, neither running for election, nor showing girls. It's just that I want to take the opportunity to catch up with your relationship, and I can save you if something happens in the future. ”
Accepting people softly, Li Wei listened to it and said: "If their family is not a traitor, it doesn't matter if they come to me and help them once or twice." "The county order of the broken family, the prefect of the extinction, if she encounters the strength of the official government, it is not difficult to ask her to support her.
Of course, the premise is that you can't be the Zhang family's umbrella and become the one they bully.
The fourth master just laughed when he heard it, the Zhang family, a prominent family that has been in Baoding Mansion for generations, it would be good if they didn't bully others, how could anyone bully them?
Knowing that they were leaving, the Zhang family sent a lot of road instruments. Su Peisheng specially reported in and asked her if she wanted to meet the Zhang family, she thought about it and shook her head and said, "No, just say that we are busy here, and we really can't find time to meet, please don't mind." ”
Under the generous courtesy of the Zhang family, it is still worrying. She didn't want to give the wrong signal, if the Zhang family saw that they were cold, maybe they wouldn't be so attentive to sending things.
A few days before the departure, she learned that the Thirteenth Master would not go back with him, and even the emperor would not return to Beijing, but would go directly from here to escape the summer!
Li Wei was surprised for a long time, and immediately asked, "Then who will go back with us?" "Won't the fourth master be called back to Beijing alone, right? This is a misunderstanding for outsiders.
The fourth master knew what she was worried about, and patted her on the head (hateful!). ), said: "And Lao Jiu." "Lao Jiu played too hard, so the emperor was angry and drove him back.
He went back because the emperor asked him to go back to pass the decree, the capital did not get the emperor's news for more than a month, although there was a holy decree to go back and forth, but the queen mother in the palace is still there, the fourth master returned to Beijing is mainly to report the emperor's whereabouts to the queen mother, and then the emperor to meet the ministers who stayed in Beijing.
Because there is no emperor to go back with him, it will be much easier to go out this time. Li Wei got in the car and left Baoding Mansion with his entourage first, and the fourth master went to bid farewell to the emperor, and then came up.
She kept this in mind, and calculated that the time to leave was almost over, so she wanted to tell the convoy to slow down, and wait for the fourth master to catch up. The difference between the two sides is not too far, only half a day's journey. When he went out in the morning, he said that he was going to kowtow to the emperor, I was afraid that he would not even be able to see the emperor's face, at most he would go to the prince and go around to come out.
When the convoy stopped, she got out of the car and looked towards the road from Baoding Mansion. The jade bottle followed him, and Zhao Quanbao held an oil-paper umbrella to shade the sun. Su Peisheng had no choice but to come down and accompany Master Li to be a wangfu stone.
At this time, the Lang clan from the Ninth Master's Mansion came over, and he was five steps away, "Sister." ”
The fourth master and the ninth master returned to Beijing together, and the people from the ninth master's family came to block the door in the morning. There was a fourth master staring, but she got up at four o'clock and was ready to leave, but the Lang family was already waiting at the door of the Zhang family's house in the car, and she didn't know what time she got up.
She also said that the fourth master treats her harshly, and seeing Lang's like this, she thinks she should be content.
It doesn't matter if you're strict or not, what matters is whether you treat you as a human being.
Compared with the Lang family, Li Wei's happiness is bursting. The fourth master is really good to her.
Because of this, she pitied Lang's and couldn't do anything, so she didn't want to be close to her, as if she didn't need to know how miserable she was if she didn't look at it. Don't know, don't be there.
Seeing that Lang deliberately got out of the car to come over to greet her, she just smiled and said, "You go back to the car and sit, I'll just come down and move." ”
When Lang hesitated for a long time and got into the car, she regretted it again, maybe people also got out of the car and went out for a walk, so she said this, people didn't dare to take a walk, so they got in the car and went to the nest.
Li Wei didn't feel at ease when she stood up, looking at Lang's car from time to time, and wanted to ask her if she was bored in the car? She was so domineering just now, and this problem must be changed. I can't let myself become the second generation of the annoying power.
In the distance, the fourth master and the ninth master rode their horses and galloped out of the city, and led their guards to raise billowing smoke and dust along the official road.
The guard in front of me came back from exploring the road and said that he saw the car of our two families waiting on the side of the road.
The ninth master was stunned for a moment and said, "Heh, I haven't seen my guts fat for a few days, and you dare to wait for the master on the side of the road?" "It's not right to think about it, she doesn't dare to play this hand with the two guts of the Lang family. After that, he turned his head to look at the fourth brother, and sure enough, the fourth brother's little face was red.
He lit the fourth master with a whip, and said with a wicked smile: "Oh~, it turned out to be the fourth brother, your person." ”
The fourth master cleared his throat and disguised: "Okay, what nonsense, I just drank two sips of water on the side of the road for a while, and I didn't bother to call them tea when I went in and kowtowed just now." ”
Speaking of this, the ninth master was angry, he and the fourth master went to the palace to see the emperor in the morning, and waited for almost half an hour for Liang Jiugong's grandson to come out, but said that the emperor was not seeing anyone at this time, pointing to the south and telling the two to kowtow and leave the palace.
Kneeling and kowtowing in front of a eunuch is a novelty for the Ninth Master.
But this is not the end, the emperor has seen and wants to see the prince, but the prince did see them, but he only asked them to go out with only two words of encouragement.
Tell the Ninth Master to say, this is too perfunctory!
followed to bid farewell to the king of Zhijun, and pounced again.
I ran to three places in the morning, and I was angry. On the way out of the city, I saw Jiu Ye constantly waving the whip, fortunately, he also knew that he was distressed about the horse, and he was waving an empty whip, but the snapping sound was also annoying.
The group hurried and soon saw the convoy parked on the side of the road.
Seeing a large puff of smoke and dust coming up from behind, I knew that this was the fourth master. But the guards who explored the path came back and said that there was still the ninth master, so Li Wei had no choice but to get in the car.
After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves gradually approaching, stopped in front of the convoy, and a familiar sound of horses' hooves trotted closer and closer. Bring the pot out. ”
She hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and lifted the teapot with her own hands, taking the opportunity to see him.
The fourth master hurriedly closed the curtain with his hand and pressed her back.
Touching the head that was pressed, Li Wei was strange, and a voice outside the car smiled presumptuously: "Fourth brother is really!" Tell my sister-in-law to come out, and my brother can come to see me! ”
The fourth master said: "Okay, drink your tea, didn't you say you're thirsty?" ”
Li Wei couldn't help but have a fever on her face in the car, is she a disgrace to the fourth master?
When the jade bottle brought up the empty teapot, they set off again, and the jade bottle was a little frightened and said: "The ninth master is so scary, the whip in his hand has been waving, as if he wants to beat people." ”
Once again, the road without the emperor is so easy. They didn't leave so early in the morning, and they camped and rested so early in the evening, and it took them a day and a half less to arrive in Beijing than when they went.
When you enter the city, you don't have to pick a time, it is almost noon when you arrive in Beijing, and the two governments directly part ways and go back to their homes. Lang also specially called the girl to come over and give a gift, saying that she felt that the two were particularly close to each other, and they would often come and go in the future, hoping that she would not dislike it.
Li Wei returned the salute after taking it, and suddenly remembered that she and the Lang family were still on good terms before leaving Baoding Mansion, and they were about to become friends in just a few days.
It's not that her heroine's aura is too dazzling, it's that the Lang family is too powerful, gentle and gentle, and quietly makes Li Wei, who originally wanted to keep a distance from her, surrender.
Don't sympathize with others, first sympathize with your own IQ.
I'm about to go home and I wonder how the kids are doing?
Hongyu had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time, and the third elder brother was accompanying his sister and younger brother in the east courtyard. Originally, Fu Jin said that they should all go to the main courtyard, so that they could go together to meet Ama and Eniang for a while. But my sister said that my brother should be taking a nap at this time, and if she didn't ask him to sleep at this time, he would lose energy all night.
Fu Jin didn't talk about it.
This is what the third elder brother particularly admires. Last time, I heard the second brother say what the Geges of the Zhijun Wangfu refer to when they got married, and the Geges of the other prefectures probably followed the example of the Zhijun Wangfu. The most haode is the eldest daughter of each prefecture, Fumeng, who can stay in Beijing from the second one. Then their sister will be able to stay.
When the third elder brother first heard what his brother said, he felt that he was too bad for Da Gege.
As a result, my brother said, "There is always a trade-off in the world." When you have to choose a Fumeng, would you rather marry our second sister far away, or go to someone else? ”
The third elder brother was speechless, he privately hoped that the second sister would stay in Beijing, but he couldn't speak.
Hongyu said: "According to Eniang's words, this is called the Dead Daoist Friend Immortal Poor Dao." There must be one unlucky in everything, so try not to make yourself suffer. It's not selfishness, E-Niang said it's called self-protection. When life and death are on the line, any means can be used. ”
The third elder brother listened to it half understood and half didn't understand, but E-Niang's words were always not wrong, and he also heard E-niang say this, it seems to be called crisis self-protection or something?
Since Eniang and the second brother both said so, he was also willing to ask the second sister to stay in Beijing.
The author has something to say: Today's first chapter is a little less, and there will be a small chapter in a while, and I want to change it to three more every day from now on, so that the number of words in each chapter can be less, and it is not difficult to write
