After Quangui disappeared silently, Quanfu fell ill directly in fright, with fever and diarrhea, it was the height of summer, a newborn second elder brother in the house was very expensive, and Song Gege still had one in his stomach, afraid that his illness would pass people, so he was sent outside overnight.

The ghosts that Quangui did couldn't hide from him, a person who was in the same room and even put the covers together. It's just that although Quanfu found that Quangui was always sneaky, he didn't ask more than one thing, and he didn't see it if he saw it.

Zhao Quanbao thought that he was not bright enough, so he took the opportunity to kick him. Anyway, Master Li is going to enter a newcomer here, and people will never be able to do it. There is one less to divide the soup.

Ergege stayed in the study for a day, and when he came back, he had an extra little brother, and Eniang's stomach was also flattened, so Ergege surrounded Li Wei and asked: "Eniang, Eniang, are you able to have more little brothers when you drum my stomach?" So when are you going to be a penis again? ”

The fourth master sat on the side with a smile on his face and was satisfied, and touched the little head of Ergege with a reward, Li Wei was under great pressure from his expectant gaze, and said perfunctorily: "Later, later." You can play with this brother first. ”

The second elder brother is now the main one who drinks Li Wei's milk, she has a lot of milk, and if she doesn't drink it for a day, it will swell out, and if she doesn't drink it for two days, there should be a hard lump and inflammation, and the second elder brother will squeeze it out if she doesn't drink it, which is uncomfortable to death. So her schedule began to be on par with the second elder brother, he woke up, she woke up, he slept, and she slept with her.

Ergege came a few times to see that his brother was sleeping, and he went to brush Ama lonely. The front yard has been very lively recently, Da Gege and Big Brother have moved over, and Ergege pestered the fourth master: "Amma, I also want to move, I also want to live here." ”

The fourth master had already cleaned up the yard for her, he thought that Su Su was now in confinement, and when the confinement was over, he would have to move the yard, and the small courtyard would have to be rebuilt, so many things might as well let Ergege move over first.

He mentioned it to Li Wei, and she said without any opinion: "Then you want to stay in the front yard to accompany them, right?" ”

"Hmm." The fourth master nodded.

"You don't have to worry about me. This is the second child, and I have experience. "Li Wei is very happy, and she will be more relaxed as soon as the fourth master leaves.

On such a hot day of confinement, of course, she couldn't be wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, and she didn't dare to open the window to let her blow the wind, and she ate and drank soup and water, so you can imagine how uncomfortable she was. When the fourth master came, she was still busy cleaning up, combing her hair and changing clothes, and there was a strong incense in the house to cover the smell on her body.

Of course, it was because he didn't come that she was more comfortable.

Without the fourth master, her head is no longer pierced, and she braids it into a big braid and hangs it on the back of her head a hundred times a day. I don't wear any clothes anymore, it's just a coat, and I wrap diapers directly underneath. When the lochia is cleared, there will be no more blood in the house, and the smell of milk will smell good.

After 50 days, Mama Liu and the doctor both looked at it for her, and only announced the end of the confinement after making sure that she had recovered. After she took a bath, she came out of the house to find that the small courtyard had changed beyond recognition.

The bulky items have been moved, and the storerooms have been emptied. The fourth master chose another small courtyard for her to live in first, and after moving over, she found that it was two courtyards next to each other, although it didn't seem good, but all the equipment was complete, and the most important thing was that there were enough houses to live in.

It wasn't until after the Gold Festival in October that the East Courtyard was completed and Li Wei moved back. As soon as I entered, I felt that the yard was really getting bigger, and it seemed that I could breathe more freely.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a five-poison photo wall, and you can see the whole picture of the east courtyard by bypassing the photo wall. A central axis in the middle is a bluestone paved road that can be used by four people in parallel, and the yard is huge. In addition to the original grapes planted back, there are four Taiping jars in the two corners, which are filled with water and raise bowl lotus.

The front room is a large set of three rooms, a total of one main entrance, two sides of the door, in the middle is one light and two dark, and on both sides is one mile and one outside. The east and west wings are one bright and two dark in the middle, one on each side, and two corner houses.

In other words, Li Wei lives in a two-bedroom and a living room in the middle, with a study and a living room on the east side, and a study and a living room on the west side, and the use is to be determined. The wing room is also a two-bedroom living room in the middle, and a small room on the left and right. The corner house can be used as a storehouse, or it can be used as a people's room.

The arrangement of the fourth master is that the things of the second elder brother are placed in the east wing, and the second grid is in the west wing. At present, the second elder brother is still breastfeeding, temporarily placed in Li Wei's west room.

She didn't look at the back cover, and she heard that the jade bottle was also very spacious. Because Zhao Quanbao and the newly assigned eunuchs still live in the front yard, they are well-informed and can get close to the eunuchs of the fourth master, so the fool has to live in the back. So the back cover room was full of maids such as jade bottles and grandmothers and nurses, and most of the house was empty.

Something happened to Quangui, Zhao Quanbao went to get twenty boards after she finished her confinement, and was beaten into a dead dog and dragged back to thank her. Li Wei found that the fourth master had always beaten Zhao Quanbao to the death, and he had not released water once. But the worse he was beaten every time, the more loyal he was to her when he came back.

She knew that this was the fourth master helping her tame the servant, and in addition to being grateful, it was also quite pitiful to see Zhao Quanbao.

This time he was dragged back, Li Wei knew that the three new eunuchs must have made him very uneasy, so he comforted him: "I can't blame you for this, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can see clearly?" Don't worry, I believe in you. The three newcomers will be handed over to you to teach. ”

Zhao Quanbao was dragged down to recuperate with a grateful face.

On the side of the jade bottle, she also handed over the four new palace maids to her.

In terms of playing tricks, she can't compare to these ancients. In terms of buying people's hearts, she also can't do a group of people's sperm. So Li Wei decided to take the simple and rough route. She handed over the maid to the jade bottle and the manmaid to Zhao Quanbao. If any problem arises with these two groups of people, these two people will be jointly and severally responsible.

She doesn't play the separation of powers, she doesn't engage in the 'let's be friends' set, regardless of friendship, not to mention distance. If something goes wrong, the two of you will have to tie up. These two are not the same, and it will be the same if you replace them with another one.

She has a natural status advantage over these people, so take this advantage to the extreme. This is what the fourth master taught her.

The people around Ergege and Second Elder Brother, she also arranged it like this. Pick one out and take responsibility, and leave the rest to her. If you don't manage it well, you will be punished, and if you make a mistake, you will die. On herself, she can't say, 'If you can't do it, I want your life', but when it comes to the children, she has absolutely no problem.

"I handed over the second elder brother to you, he has the slightest problem, and you and your family can't run away. What kind of sin the second elder brother suffers, I will let your children taste it all. Li Wei didn't have a smile on her face, and the noble matter gave her a sense of crisis.

Just like the fourth master said, when they kill the children, it will be too late to catch them and beat them to death.

The nurse Zhou's face was pale when she was bluffed, and she kept blinking at her, looking completely incredulous.

Li Wei said: "In two days, the children of several of your nurses will be brought over to live with the second elder brother, and the second elder brother's food, drink and clothing, your children will be exactly the same." If one of them has a bad mind, it will be retributed on your children. ”

"Master, be gracious!" Zhou kowtowed repeatedly.

Li Wei softened her voice and said, "What are you worried about?" If you don't have bad intentions, isn't it a blessing that the child can grow up with Brother? ”

"Grace to the master! Grace to the master! "Zhou's stumbling non-stop. It is said to be a blessing, but who knows which one has a ghost in his heart? There are only two elder brothers in the house, one is from Fujin and the other is from this master. I heard that a few people just ran a few months ago, and the silent people were gone, and I didn't even hear a movement. How dare she gamble with her own children?

Li Wei motioned to Mama Liu to lead Zhou out, and Zhao Quanbao came up to catch a chicken and took Zhou out. Mama Liu took a wrong step back and called her softly: "Master, this ......"

"Look at her first, don't let her wait for Brother." The first time she did this kind of thing, Li Wei was still a little rusty, and she didn't know what to do next.

Mama Liu took the order. In the afternoon, the children of the four nurses were all brought in. The nipples are all born in the same year, so the nurse's children are less than a year old, and the youngest ones are only four or five months old. Li Wei has now tasted the benefits of the side blessing and Jin share, and it can be said that except for the canonization of a jade disc, it is basically not bad in the mansion.

In her words, she will do it without any discount at all.

The children of the nurses were hugged to the second elder brother, because most of the second elder brother was feeding her, and only two nurses would be left for vigil at night. They occasionally feed once and a half times, and the milk is actually very much, and the children are brought in, and the nurses feed their own children more. Except for some frightening at the beginning, the resentment of the nurses in the back is actually gone.

What makes Li Wei happy is that the nurses don't care about it, it's really unusual. A few needlework haode nurses dismantled all the things used by the second elder brother, and when they checked from the inside out, they could find the slightest mistake. Even the grandmothers said that it had never been so easy.

Zhou's even more energetic stared at everyone, once the jade bottle wanted to tuck the quilt for the second elder brother, but she stopped her, but with a smile on her face, she didn't relax: "How can you work girl?" I'm coming, I'm coming. ”

The fourth master knew her methods, and just smiled. Although the method is a little rougher, it chokes the life of the nurses.

These nurses are all coats of various flags from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which can be said to be mixed, and they are not subordinates in the house, and they are punished at will. There are few nurses who can wait until Zuihou, basically once the elder brother and Gege are weaned, the nurses can only leave one at most, and the rest are all sent back to the Internal Affairs Office, either going home, or sending them on other errands.

Brother and Gege are not the same here. When the elder brother grows to the age of six, the role that the nurses can play is small. Like when he moved to the elder brother's house, only one eldest grandmother was left by his side, and the rest of the attendants were all eunuchs. The palace Gege will let the nurse grow up, and sometimes the relationship will be deeper and they will accompany the marriage.

These nurses come and go, and it is almost impossible to be ten out of ten faithful. People have their own careful thoughts, and the little master they are waiting for is a stammer, and they are also stammering others. Although there are palace regulations, no matter how strict the management is, there are people who can drill cracks.

When the fourth master was picking the nipples, he specially picked the ones with red flags and white flags. When Kangxi conquered Geerdan in 35 years, he received a red flag, and he himself was inlaid with a white flag. He can still hold these two coaters.

Li Wei asked someone to bring the newborn child of the nurses, and she reported it to him. He only groaned slightly, and then said to Su Peisheng: "Such a trivial matter, you don't have to report it to me in the future." Your master Li is not a foolish person, she has a plan in her heart when she opens this mouth. Go quickly. ”

With the sentence 'go quickly', Li Wei said that in two days, Su Peisheng brought the children in the afternoon. It was he who speculated on the mind of the fourth master, and he was probably satisfied with Master Li's idea. Even he has to sigh wisely. In the past, the nurses were not allowed to go out of the house to see their own children, so that they could serve the little master wholeheartedly.

But wealth has never been moving, and it is not for nothing that the palace secretly practices the little brother and the little Gege.

Master Li directly used the nurse's own son as a raft, to see if they dared to be careful?

Even Fu Jin was a little stunned when he heard about it, when the eldest brother was born, she learned to nurse in person like the Song family and the Li family, and let Fu Mama and Pomegranate and others keep an eye on the nurse, and never allowed the eldest brother to be alone with the nurse and others, and must be accompanied by one of her people.

I also inquired about the nurses in many ways, and usually rewarded them a lot, for fear that they would harm others because of their wealth obsession. is now the two nurses left by the eldest brother's side, and she has never been negligent.

But as soon as Li Gege's hand came out, it was like a blow to her head.

Fujin found out that she was bluffed by the grandmothers and eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and when she heard that the nurse was from the Internal Affairs Office, she respected them in her heart. In the final analysis, they are also slaves, and she turned them in, and no matter how much effort she spent, she couldn't compare to Li Gege's thunderous methods.

Just look at the acquiescence of the fourth master, and he knows that this is in line with his heart.

Before, the fourth master said that Li Gege was better at controlling people than her, and she said in her heart that Li Gege was surrounded by the Internal Affairs Bureau, and there were no two sets of people compared to her, so it would naturally take more effort. Looking at it now, maybe she made things more complicated. There were originally few people she brought into the palace, and compared with the people in the Internal Affairs Office, it was ants shaking the tree.

So now, there is only one loyal and treacherous grape left by her side, a taciturn gourd. The rest are all people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Over the years, she has gone around and still hasn't carried the group of people from the Internal Affairs Office around her.

If she had accepted the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from the beginning, maybe her own people would have been saved. Pomegranates won't go, and Mama Fu doesn't have to make mistakes again and again.

It's too late to think about that now. Fu Jin sighed, and his heart was even more melancholy.

It's the New Year again, and the emperor has returned from his southern tour. The fourteenth elder brother accompanied the emperor to stay in the south for more than half a year, and he grew taller and tanned. The fourteenth elder brother was in high spirits, and as soon as he came back, he ran to Yonghe Palace to ask for peace.

Then he went back to Brother's Office in a gray manner. is no longer full of palaces, and the gifts brought back are distributed to the brothers and they read quietly. made Brother Jiu, who originally wanted to sarcastically say a few words to him, hold it in his chest and couldn't spit it out, it was so uncomfortable.

Brother Jiu has been quite unlucky lately. Concubine Yi didn't like him anywhere, and he couldn't stand the stab after sitting in Yikun Palace for less than a quarter of an hour. Just now, he was actually stabbed by Concubine Yi to drink milk, which made the ninth elder brother, who turned the eighteenth year of the New Year, really couldn't help it, put down the bowl and cried with a sad face: "Eniang, where has my son been in the way recently?" Why can't you get a nice sentence here? ”

Yifei's phoenix eyes flew, and she glanced at him and said, "Get out, I'm upset when I see you!" ”

The ninth elder brother had to come out and wanted to ask the fifth brother, but he was filial piety at the queen mother. He turned around to look for his younger brothers' bad luck, and blocked the fourteenth elder brother's avoidance. Brother Jiu, who was not going well, was depressed, and when the eighth master freed his hand and asked him to go to Wuying Hall together, he saw that he was unhappy, so he asked a few words.

The matter of Yikun Palace, Brother Jiu will not talk about it, only saying that he is not used to seeing the thirteenth and fourteenth being taken by the emperor to tour the south.

The eighth master smiled: "They are young, so the emperor naturally takes more care of them." Besides, Thirteen is also quite unlucky now, so let's not rub salt in his wounds as brothers. ”

The thirteenth elder brother went out for less than two months, and his biological mother Zhang Jia was gone. He had to come back to mourn. Compared with the fourteenth elder brother, he accompanied the southern tour, and the encounter between the two was really a heaven and a land.

Brother Jiu said: "Cut!" Then why didn't you and I take care of the emperor when I was a child? ”

That's the bar lifting. The eighth master didn't answer, just smiled.

In fact, Brother Jiu didn't know the reason why Concubine Yi didn't like him. It's just that this palace talks about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and now the prince and the king of Zhijun are silent, and the third, fourth, and fifth brothers rarely come in after leaving the palace. The younger generation of elder brothers always have to find a brother on the top to rely on, the eighth master was born, and the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother leaned on it for this.

In addition, there is a little admiration. The age difference between the three of them is two years old, and when they went to the study, this starling was not outstanding in learning, did not stand out in the bow and horse, and there was a stinky word, and the ninth elder brother never looked at him in his eyes.

It seems that I don't know when, the first few brothers were planted overnight, and the eighth master suddenly appeared like eating an immortal medicine, and he was especially favored by the emperor, and the internal affairs office was handed over to him for the time being. Brother Jiu is more admiration than jealousy, anyway, he knows that when he waits for him in another two years, the emperor will not give him the Internal Affairs Office.

How long can you be angry? Brother Jiu didn't take it to heart, just waited for Concubine Yi to be angry. He still followed the eighth master first.

This year, the fourth master also entered the palace early, and took Fujin and the eldest brother to pay New Year's greetings to Concubine De.

The eldest brother turned the New Year and was five years old, and was taught by the fourth master for two years, and the little child knelt down and kowtowed to Concubine De politely, which made Concubine De smile and couldn't close her mouth, beckoning to her side and hugging and talking.

"What a good boy." After letting the nurse and grandmother take the eldest brother down, Concubine De said to Fu Jin: "You are meritorious and have raised such a good child." ”

Fu Jin stood up and thanked him: "I can't afford to be praised by my mother." ”

"Sit down, don't be so rusty with the family." Concubine De said.

The fourth master was eating snacks with tea on the side, smiling at Concubine De and Fujin. Concubine De heard Fu Jin say that the fourth master already had three Gege and two elder brothers, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that you are a capable child, and the emperor pointed you out to the fourth child, which is the blessing of the fourth child." I heard that Song Gege had just given birth to Xiao Gege in Layue, and said: "Be careful at this time, it is not easy for children and adults." ”

Concubine De praised again, Fu Jin was a little lacking in confidence, but fortunately, Concubine De turned her head and said something else, and she was relieved. In the mansion and between the concubines, she is quite stylish, but in front of Concubine De, she is no different from the three Gege. It is her job to manage the mansion well, and when it comes to giving birth to children, the Song family and the Li family are better than her.

Although this credit was placed on her by Concubine De, it was a kind word.

This makes Fu Jin feel that he should conceive another one? But I remember that the eldest brother hasn't been named yet, so let's see it after I should go to school at the age of six and get acne. She has to wait for this child to zhanzhu before she can rest assured that she can conceive the next one.

Concubine De had already seen that Fu Jin's expression was wrong, and she could guess what was on her mind, but in her opinion, Fu Jin was already very lucky to have an elder brother.

Just look at the high-ranking concubines in the harem, usually the emperor will not give them too many children.

Tong Jia's family, Niu Colu's family, and Hesheri's family, the concubines of the virtuous queens with these three surnames together are not as many as her.

Look at Concubine Rong again, Ama is an outsider. Concubine Yi, Ama is the leader, she is the maid of the clothed palace, and the family can't afford to mention it at all. But who of the three of them didn't give birth to four or five?

The emperor understands very well that no matter how many sons and blessings he has from a prominent background, can this harem still be stable?

The brothers in the palace are all like the emperor. Fujin has an identity, so she can no longer be pampered. Otherwise, the Fujin Club in the courtyard is the only one, she covers the sky with one hand, and the brothers can't speak in the backyard or a trivial matter, what should I do if it affects the heirs?

Just look at the third elder brother's mansion, now zhanzhu is the son of Fujin, and the three who died are all someone else's, and they are all sons. Sanfujin is a ghost, and when the third elder brother wakes up, he will not enter her house again.

Concubine De patted Fu Jin's hand, but still nodded at her, and said, "You still love to copy scriptures before, but now you still copy them outside?" ”

Fu Jin doesn't copy two volumes a day so masochistic now, but there are still two volumes in a month. Hurriedly stood up and said, "My daughter-in-law is not as diligent as before, I'm really ashamed." ”

Concubine De smiled: "You have a lot of things to do now, and you can't take care of it." It's just that it's good to read this scripture a lot, and you should pick it up again when you're free. "Read more of the Bible and less of the crooked ways. As long as you are safe, the fourth child will take care of your face.

If you're fooling around, the fourth child is not a soft-hearted person.

"Yes." Fu Jin respectfully agreed, and decided to copy a few volumes of scriptures and send them to the palace when he went back.

Leaving Fujin in Yonghe Palace, the fourth master went to Wuying Palace. The banquet was almost full, and he saw that the third master was sitting next door and was drinking, and said with a smile: "Third brother, you have been crowned the king of the county." If you look at your brother, you should smile too. ”

The third master shaved his head a hundred days ago in the thirteenth elder brother's biological mother, Concubine Min, and the county king, who had just arrived for less than a year, was lost and demoted to Baylor. Although this is his bad luck, the fourth master is quite happy.

The third master laughed when he heard it: "Fourth, don't laugh at your third brother." He pulled him over and said, "If it's a brother, I'll have a drink with my brother." ”

Seeing that he really has something on his mind, the fourth master doesn't say much, two brothers, you have a cup, and I drink a cup of stuffy wine. After a long while, the third master sighed and said, "Fourth, ......what do you say?"

The fourth master put down the wine glass and waited to listen to the third master's thoughts, but the third master still swallowed the words back, shook his head and said, "Don't say it, drink it." ”

At the end of the banquet, the third master, who had been drinking all night, couldn't walk, and the fourth and fifth masters walked to the palace gate with him left and right, and only then did they hear his thoughts intermittently.

The third master is a little lacking in heart, he is the only one after Concubine Rong gave birth to five sons, and later followed the master to read some literati habits, love a wind and snow. After marrying Fujin, Sanfujin was gentle and submissive, considerate, and he was also very fond of him. Of course, the old love was not left behind.

He felt that he was a virtuous wife and concubine, although he had three children dead, but many dead children died in the palace, and his own brothers were all dead, so he didn't take it seriously, just went to visit the two lost concubines a few more times, and rewarded more things.

As a result, when he entered the palace this year, Concubine Rong ordered him two sentences, and it was like a thunderbolt hitting him on the top of his head.

"Children are weak, and they will die if they are touched by the slightest breeze. When the grass falls, the wind is a little, the quilt is not tightly covered when sleeping, the window leaks a little crack, and a small life is gone. Concubine Rong said, "It's just that the dead children in this world will not always be one person, and the one who can survive will not be just one person's child." ”

The third master was stupid at that time. His mind was full of the small bodies of the three children who died not long after he was born, as well as the two healthy sons of Sanfujin.

"E-Niang didn't just say that it must be your daughter-in-law who is not good, it's just ...... You might as well cold her first and let her heart not be so big. Then let's see if it's still like this next, maybe it's also your two Gege who are not in good health and can't have healthy children, so you can change to another pet to see how it goes. ”

The third master cried a handful of snot and tears, and cried on the shoulders of his two younger brothers: "My son...... My second elder brother, fourth elder brother, fifth elder brother ......"

The two younger brothers who cried felt uncomfortable, and when the king of Zhijun saw this side before leaving the palace, he didn't say much when he came over, carried the third master into the car, and asked the entourage who followed the car to take good care of it.

After returning home, the fourth master sat in the study for a while and went to the main courtyard.

Because during this time, he and Fujin had to enter the palace every day, and the eldest brother temporarily moved back to the backyard. Fu Jin saw the eldest brother after such a long time, undressed him with his own hands, and watched him sleep. At this time, the outside suddenly said that the fourth master was here.

Fu Jin hurriedly greeted him out, but the fourth master went directly to the eldest brother's house, wrapped in a quilt and hugged him and said, "He will enter the palace with me tomorrow morning, and I will take him to sleep in front." Su Peisheng, who was behind him, took the little eunuchs of the eldest brother, hugged the eldest brother's clothes, shoes and socks and left.

For the first time, Fu Jin boldly chased the fourth master to the door, pulled him and said, "Master, it's so late, just let the eldest brother rest here with me, right?" Why bother? Tomorrow, let him sleep in front from tomorrow, okay? ”

The eldest brother woke up in a daze, and the fourth master put on a cloak to prevent him from showing his head, and said, "Fujin should go back and rest, and get up early tomorrow." ”

After that, he took the eldest brother and left.

Fu Jin followed a few more steps, but he had no choice but to stop, his heart was a mess, complicated and indescribable.
