The Ministry of Internal Affairs picked an auspicious day for the zodiac, and notified the people in the house a few days in advance to prepare it, and officially registered Li Wei as a side blessing.

It was only then that Li Wei found out that this was actually a big deal. It seems that she is wrong, this is not simply a promotion and salary increase for the little wife, the word 'side' on the side of Fujin, in addition to indicating that she sits on the side of Fujin on a formal occasion, other powers are already similar to Fujin.

Is it really polygamy? Although nominally it is the same as the Han people, polyandry and concubine, but in the bones it is still Manchu polygamy?

She thought that it would be over with a simple crown dress, but it was still a big scene.

Just as she feared, after the Ministry of Internal Affairs notified, the whole house moved. The gate was re-cleaned and repaired, and some of the paint was missing and faded.

Fu Jin specially called her over, saying that after the canonization, the house would have a treat to celebrate, the Li family was considered a serious relative, and Li Wei's Amma, Eniang and brothers must arrive that day, and the rest of the relatives are casual, the more they come, the better.

She and Fujin have basically been friends for a long time, but they only have a few face-to-face interactions. Originally, there was no rule in the house to ask Fujin for peace from time to time, except for the New Year's Festival and the birthday of the fourth master, it was rare for them to even sit together and drink tea.

Especially after the fourth master gave her a share of the commission in the mansion, she avoided Fujin a little.

Fu Jin said that this was her good day, and she couldn't even lift her head.

Her three views are still the foundation of modern education, and it is natural to convince herself to be a little wife after ancient times, but it is inevitable that she will be weak in front of Fujin. It is true that Fujin is a good day for her, but it is definitely a bad day for Fujin.

Fujin, Ulanala Yuanying herself talked for a long time, and when she saw that the Li family sitting opposite had been silent, she looked up and hung her head with a ashamed face, like a rabbit that was chased by a dog and couldn't jump out immediately, and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong?" I've been in the cave house for eight or nine years, and I'm dressed as a bride again? ”

She covered her mouth and smiled after joking, which made Li Wei extremely confused, "Fujin ......?" "You're still in the mood to tease me?

Yuan Ying's happiness is not fake, her son came back safely from pox, and was named by the emperor. The mother's family was angry, and the two brothers were stuffed into the imperial guard by the fourth master. If it weren't for the fear that she would be too powerful in the mansion, why would the fourth master push the Li family up again?

Li's temperament really can't be mentioned, she has love, she has heirs, and now her identity is enough, but what's the use of her not having this momentum? This is the case with women from small families.

Thinking that she would not be able to enter the palace like this, Yuan Ying said: "You should also stand up." Side Fujin can enter the palace to ask for peace, I guess in a few days, Yonghe Palace will definitely ask you to go in and have a look. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the Li family on the other side, "You must be joking!" 'Panic.

She wanted to laugh again, but she couldn't help it, and said: "These days, I asked the grandmother around you to accompany you to practice the rules, although you have also lived in the palace, after all these years, if you are rusty and enter the palace, you should be ugly." ”

That's right! That's right! Li Wei hurriedly wrote down this, does she still want to enter the palace? Is Fang Fujin really so faced? What Fu Jin said is definitely true.

She was frightened by the news thrown by this, and after the list of guests for the banquet was set, she got up to say goodbye, Yuan Ying remembered something before she left, and said: "On the day of the banquet, you must sit upright to be congratulated, and you will come out to meet all the guests." ”

Li Wei: "......" tears in her heart are like the Yellow River flooding, and they are out of control.

Seeing that the Li family was as usual, and even retired more respectfully and carefully than before, Yuan Ying was worried that she would not be able to afford the position of side Fujin and would embarrass the mansion in the future, but she was also a lot more relieved.

Speaking of which, the only time she had a confrontation with the Li family was after Ergege was born. At that time, although she united with the Wu clan to threaten her, she did not go further, as if it was enough to scare her. After the fourth master came back, he didn't see her complaining. Mama Fu listened to the news, but she didn't know it, and it was actually found by the front house of the house.

She is the most favored in the house, but both the Song family and the Wu family dare to spy behind their backs, and after the fourth master punished people, she didn't see her take action.

It's been almost ten years since they lived together, and Yuan Ying can see clearly what kind of person Li is. The fourth master simply put a tiger skin on her to help her scare, without favor and authority, she couldn't survive in the third master's back house for two years. Fortunately, she was pointed out to the fourth master.

Fortunately, it was her Yuanying who was the blessing of this concubine. Replaced by three blessings or five blessings, there are no bones left for her to gnaw.

Yuan Ying thought about it for a while, and felt that this side Fujin was not so dazzling to her eyes. Anyway, there are side Fujin in each province, and the Li family is always much better than the Song family and the Wu family. Compared with the Tian family in Sanfujin, the Guarjia family and Liu Jia's family on the side of Wufujin, it is even more reassuring.

In the east courtyard, Li Wei was asking Mama Liu if she was familiar with the rules for entering the palace. Mama Liu said worriedly: "When the slave maid was in the palace, she never waited in front of the master, this matter...... The clearest thing in our house should be the big mama. ”

Big Mama......

Li Wei was even more worried. She can't see that the eldest grandmother looks down on her, on the eldest grandmother's side, except for the fourth master, no one else is worth her attention.

In the evening, when the fourth master came back, he saw her with a sad face and said with a smile: "It's going to be a side blessing, why are you unhappy?" ”

Li Wei was changing his clothes, and when she heard this, she hugged the cloak and said, "Master, I have registered the side Fujin...... Do you want to enter the palace and say goodbye? ”

The fourth master understood as soon as he heard it, and he affirmed: "It should be." When you go to Yonghe Palace with Fujin to see Niangniang, you don't need any gifts, just kowtow there and do your filial piety. ”

She hadn't thought of a gift yet!!

Li Wei felt that her brain was useless, she didn't expect to enter the palace to give a gift to Concubine De. Shouldn't this be done with needlework or something? But the fourth master said that there was no need to send ......

She stuffed the cloak into the jade bottle, asked them all to go down, sat down next to the fourth master and whispered to him, "Master, you really don't need to send anything?" ”

"No, you don't." The fourth master held her hand, found that her hands were frightened, rubbed her hands and said, "Just go and let Niangniang take a look." When you get there, there is a palace maid to guide you, so you just don't say anything. Niangniang won't take care of you, you are blessed. ”

With Fujin here, how could Concubine De pay more attention to a side Fujin? It's just a matter of kowtowing to the number of courtesies.

The fourth master explained very clearly, and Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she asked the eldest grandmother to teach her the rules, and she said: "I learned the rules almost ten years ago, and I forgot about it a long time ago." Master, please let the eldest grandmother teach me these days, will you? ”

The fourth master twisted her face and said angrily: "You can forget this rule, you are really getting more and more disagreeable." After that, he hugged her with a smile and said, "Master go back and let the eldest grandmother come to help you for a few days." ”

Speaking of the banquet again, she was worried: "Who will come?" "She's been in the fourth master's harem for almost ten years, okay? It's dark outside. Over the years, except for meeting the Li family and occasionally going out to run horses, she has never seen any outsiders.

The fourth master was amused by her anxious face, and said, "That's your good day, how can you keep up with the punishment?" Who will have trouble with you on that day? Your grandfather is standing here. Just rest assured. In addition to the people from your family and the people from the Fujin family, I guess my brothers' family will bring people here. In the past, you had a low status and couldn't go out to meet people. Now that the identity is up, there will be more time to socialize in the future, not at first, but slowly I will understand. ”

The fourth master said it too easily, and Li Wei also became a stupid donkey attracted by the carrot of 'there will be communication in the future'. It's not what she wants to be in the backyard for so long, and it's good to meet outsiders and make one or two friends who can talk.

When the eldest grandmother came, her Good Friday began.

All the way to the auspicious day of the zodiac of canonization. At three o'clock in the morning, the eldest grandmother set her up, combed her hair, put on makeup and changed clothes. Then sit in the house and wait until it gets dark until dawn, and then wait until dawn! It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the morning that the people from the Internal Affairs Office finally came!

Li Wei's original timidity, fear, and excitement were all consumed in the long wait. She went out with a wooden face, knelt down first to listen to the order, thanksgiving, receiving the canonization and crown, and then thanking. I knelt back and forth several times, and finally knelt and sent off the people from the Internal Affairs Office, this matter is not over!

The eldest grandmother first rubbed her back to the east courtyard, re-combed her hair, put on makeup, changed clothes, and then prepared some food casually, and then it was time to sit and wait for someone to congratulate her.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, the Li family came first. The only one who could come in the back to see her was the Jueercha clan, and she was so happy to see Eniang. After Eniang sat down, she first congratulated, then said that the family was very happy, grateful for the grace of heaven, and said that her younger brothers were all here, and now the relatives at home are setting up wine to celebrate her.

"I've been busy for you for half a month. Just after this morning, you, Amma, got up, and I couldn't sleep. Jartsa covered his mouth and yawned.

Eniang, let's sympathize with each other!

Li Wei also felt very sad. After the two of them talked for a while, gradually the guests came. The people who were sent to her were all of the same level, that is, Side Fujin. It's also the first time she's seen so many side Fujin.

Sanbeile's family is Tianbian Fujin, inlaid with yellow flags, and his father is a pen sticker of the Ministry of Rites.

The eldest grandmother had given her science a few days earlier. Just like Fujin has made friends with Fujin in various provinces, her future social circle is Fujin in various provinces.

The Wubeile family is Guerjia Fujin and Liu Jia Fujin, these two are celebrities, and even Li Wei couldn't help but look at the two of them a few more times.

She looks at people, and people look at her. Liu Jiashi covered his mouth and smiled: "I have long wanted to meet my sister." As he spoke, his eyes swept over her sleeve a few times, "This sleeve is really chic, I'm closer to my sister, let me take a closer look and learn from it." ”

Liu Jiashi opened the topic, and a group of side Fujin who just drank tea and ate snacks at the beginning began to talk about clothes and jewelry.

The Jueercha clan had already asked Li Wei to send him to Ergege to sit. This group of side Fujin are all masters, and the Jueercha clan only has a share in front of them. Li Wei didn't want her mother to be a slave to others here.

Li Wei, who was very nervous at the beginning, is naturally at this time, and the status of everyone in the room is all equal, so no one should laugh at anyone.

Liu Jia's side of the Wubeile Mansion was earlier in Fujin, and he was more accustomed to it than Li Weilai, and he was also more imposing. She was the first to mention Li Wei's sleeve just now, and she was also the first to point out Li Wei's room. I saw her holding the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Sister, the decoration in this house is really good, look at the incense burner, I haven't seen it." Is it carved from a whole jade? Such a large piece of jade is rare to see. ”

She was referring to the green jade incense burner that the fourth master brought back when he went to inspect the disaster in Henan in the 34th year of Kangxi, and as soon as this big guy gave it to her, he asked her to lock it in the warehouse. As soon as the eldest grandmother came, she said that she would decorate the house, and as soon as her treasury was opened, she moved this out and put it on the table.

She said it was too conspicuous for someone of her stature to use.

The eldest grandmother reprimanded: "Why should the master be arrogant? Your identity is there. If you don't stand up on your own, others will look down on you. With status, you must also have a backbone. Although the slave is ignorant, she has been waiting for the fourth master for so long, and she has never seen the fourth master say that something is more valuable than a person. Think about it, this thing is really more valuable than you? ”

When she said this, Li Wei was also aroused with confidence. yes, why should she take herself so lightly? It used to be a place not to mention, but now it's a side blessing, and the shelf has to be put up!

Besides, the fourth master never looked down on her at any time.

With him, what else is she afraid of?

So, as soon as Liu Jiashi said, she just glanced at the incense burner, oh, and said, "This thing has been on the table for a few years, and I don't care." According to my sister, it is indeed a good thing. ”

What do you think? That's enough, right?

She saw that Liu Jia's was not so pretentious, and secretly glanced at the eldest grandmother, blinking excitedly.

The eldest grandmother pulled her eyelids and let out a long breath.

Seeing off the guests, Li Wei was so tired that her back hurt. I didn't bother to say a few more words to the Li family today. changed her clothes and lay down on the bed, and was asking Mama Liu and the jade bottle to pinch her, and the fourth master came.

She didn't bother to move when she lay on the bed, she only hummed: "Fourth master...... I'm so tired......"

"It's really lazy, and I shout tired when I move." The fourth master asked people to wait to change clothes after the screen, and when he came out, he sat on the bed and pinched her, pinching her from beginning to end with his big hands, pinching her so hard that she couldn't stop screaming, he deliberately pinched her itchy flesh, causing her to laugh and scream, laughing so short that she couldn't scream, so he had to turn it over and not let him pinch it again.

He crossed his arms and said, "Are you happy today?" ”

"Happy." She put her arms around his waist and asked, "Did I disgrace you today?" ”

Halfway through the meal, Fu Jin asked someone to ask her to go to the front to toast. At that time, she had been poured more than a dozen cups by a group of side Fujin in the East Courtyard, even if the wine was not strong and the cup was small, she was a little dizzy at that time. When she arrived in the front yard, she remembered that Fu Jin led her, toasted three glasses from one table to another, and then stood behind the fourth master and waited for a while before letting her go down.

She remembered that the fourth master was sitting on the table, and when she was toasting, his eyes kept following her, and when he was talking to others, he also glanced at her for a while.

The fourth master stroked her hair and smiled, he only remembered that as soon as Su Su came, he could see that she had drunk too much, her face was flushed, and her eyes were shiny. When he toasted at the tables, he kept looking back at him and smiling at him, and when she went down, the brothers at the table came to laugh at him.

He kissed her and said gently, "No, they all envy the master." ”

Wine is a color matchmaker.

Li Wei didn't drink too much, so haode sprinkled coquettishly. Refuse to move, refuse to turn over. The fourth master's hand was a little heavier, so she hummed and said it hurts, don't. The fourth master was sweating by her, zuihou ejaculated and grabbed her and scolded angrily: "How much did the master waste for you, don't say anything, just throw the master behind his head as soon as he got his senses, and he still shouted pain?" Does it still hurt now? Does it hurt? He put his hand under her as he spoke.

She grabbed the fourth master's wrist and slowly stretched it like a full bow.

"Uh...... Belch...... Yes...... Yes...... Hmmm......" Zuihou lay weakly in his arms, hugged tightly by him, and the two gasped.

A few days later, Fu Jin handed the sign to the palace, and Yonghe Palace quickly sent a mule cart to pick it up. When she was married to the fourth master for almost ten years, she finally met Concubine De.

Sure enough, just like the fourth master said, after she kowtowed, Concubine De only said, 'It looks like a haode', and ignored her when she was done. She sat on the embroidered pier beside Fu Jin, and watched Concubine De and Fu Jin talk from beginning to end, and the two said that there was a small moment, and Fu Jin took his leave.

Throughout entering the palace, she only said 'Niang Niang Wan Fu Jin'an', and nothing else.

The side blessing is really just the side blessing. Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was still the same as before.

Since that time, the side Fujin of various provinces has known each other, and occasionally sends posts to invite her to come over to watch the play and talk. Li Wei's approach is always to ask the fourth master if he can go first, and he said that if he can go, she will go. He said no, and she told the sick.

On this day, the porter handed over a post, saying that this person came to ask for peace to Fang Fujin. Li Wei took the post and looked at it, I don't know it. He put it down and said, "What is the origin of this person?" Why don't I remember dealing with him? Is it someone you know from the house? ”

Zhao Quanbao went to inquire and came back and said, "This person is here to ask to see Fujin, and I heard that there is something to entrust to the fourth master." Fu Jin didn't have time to see him, the porter asked him to go, he refused, I heard that there was a side Fu Jin in the house, so he said that he wanted to see you. ”

Oh, that's a rarity. She also knew that the fourth master doted on her, but she had never seen anyone run away from the official to find her, and as soon as she made a move, it was tens of thousands of taels of silver, so that she could be righteous and awe-inspiring, and resist corrosion and never get wet. If there is really something like begging Sister Feng to bully the unmarried couple to quit their relatives and not get married, she can speak up.

Meet the expectation of her dedication to justice.

As a result, it finally came. I don't know what this man does? Li Wei looked at the post curiously, Zhao Quanbao was still waiting for her to speak, she said: "After copying the post, return the post to him, let him go back." ”

In the evening, when the fourth master came back, she showed him the copied post with great interest. The fourth master was puzzled, "You posted it back to him, why did you copy it down?" ”

"He's coming to you on an errand, I don't know what's going on. What if he's the bad guy? Corrupt officials, running officials, bullying the good. Or does he have a grievance? "Fourth Master, you are so iron-faced and selfless, you will definitely ask, right? I don't know the origin of the reason, how dare she not report it to him?

The fourth master laughed happily with the copied post, hugged her and said, "Do you regard your grandfather as Bao Qingtian?" ”
