The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the birds under the eaves are silently hot.

The wife and concubine in Zhongli Erlang's garden looked at the old lady sent by the old lady of Zhenguo, but she was cold all over.

At the beginning, the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo said that the wife and concubine in Zhongli Erlang's room must be pregnant years ago, but until now, there is still no good news from them.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Fu Yufang was quite tossing and turning, but thinking that Chinese New Year's Eve was a good day, the old town and the princess expected that she would not be looking for her, so she had a peaceful year.

The truth was just as she thought, the old Duchess of Zhenguo did not make a fuss, and even seemed to have forgotten about it. New Year, February, March...... One month after another has passed, and the old town duchess has not mentioned it, she thought that the old town town lady had forgotten, and she was very happy in her heart.

Even later, there was a little concubine who showed signs of joy, and she also used means to let the little concubine go. Because she acted unknowingly, the concubine only suspected that she had eaten the wrong thing, and she was sad alone in the room.

Where to think, just when she had forgotten about it, someone from the Duchess of the Old Town came to the door.

"The old lady said, the second young lady is young, and many aunts are also in the same years, and there is no reason why they can't get pregnant." The old lady said with a straight look, her eyes calmly swept over Fu Yufang and the concubines, but it made everyone's hearts more and more cold for no reason.

Fu Yufang listened intently, praying in her heart. After all, neither of them is pregnant, and it is not her fault to make a judgment. There has always been a saying that "the crime is not to blame", and I just hope that the old lady will not push the fault on her.

But even though she thought of many reasons to comfort herself, her heart kept sinking. She knows. These ideas of her own are nothing more than wishful thinking.

Sure enough, the old lady continued, "In the old lady's opinion, the current situation is caused by someone secretly jealous and using means. From tomorrow, everyone will go to Zhuangzi outside the city to spend the summer, and the old lady will help Erlang Jun to take a concubine to accompany her, and she will take you back when you have an heir. ”

She was the dowry of the Duchess of the Old Town. Identities are different. So it was a bit unkind to speak, but no one would blame her.

Fu Yufang only felt like five thunderbolts, where did she pay attention to the tone of the old lady?

Let her and the concubines avoid going to Zhuangzi, and the old lady will help her husband take a concubine. This is even more humiliating than slapping her in front of everyone!

Take your wife aside. Only then did he accept a concubine. And wait for the concubine to get pregnant before she can come back, doesn't this clearly mean that she is jealous of Fu Yufang? She is jealous, but she is like thousands of righteous rooms are jealous. That's not going to be on the table!

The move of the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo is tantamount to completely tearing her face open and hanging in front of many powerful and famous ladies in the capital, so that she can no longer be a person.

Even her mother's family is afraid that she will not be able to tolerate her from now on.

Fu Yufang thought about it, her whole body softened, and the whole person sat on the ground all of a sudden.

The concubines are also a little disgraced, but what they think more about is that they will never have the opportunity to give birth to their eldest son, which is a pity. But this regret, after seeing Fu's tragic situation, was immediately balanced.

As long as someone is more unlucky than himself, and it is still the Fu family who has always played the prestige of the main room, it is even better.

The old lady took in everyone's faces, but she was silent, and continued, "The words have been brought, and I ask the second young lady to pack up today and leave tomorrow morning." ”

These words were like a thunderbolt, which woke Fu Shi up at once, she swooped over and hugged the old lady's legs, tears fell down, "No, Zeng Mama, you help me, help me plead with the old lady, please......"

Suddenly being hugged by Fu's thigh, Mama Zeng was a little surprised, and said, "This matter was shown by the old lady, but I can't speak." ”

"No, please, please, please, grandma great...... If it is sent to Zhuangzi, I might as well die...... Fu Shi cried loudly and said, "I am also a woman, please be considerate and considerate of ......me, Mama Zeng."

These words may have touched Mama Zeng's heart, she sighed, did not regain her original calmness, and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but you have done it here." Now it is half a year longer than the original deadline. But how are you here? ”

"Give me another two months, two months will definitely ......be fine," Fu Yufang said anxiously.

"The old lady is too kind-hearted, and said that if it doesn't work, she will leave you out. At present, you are still asked to be the second young lady, just to raise it on the Zhuangzi, how can you be afraid of such a benevolent act? Mama Zeng shook her head and said hesitantly.

When several concubines heard this, they were afraid that Mama Zeng would be sincere and soft-hearted to help Fu intercede, so they hurriedly stepped forward to hold Fu and persuaded her, "This is a decision made by the old lady, and the lady still doesn't want to refute it, so as not to make the old lady angry......"

Fu hurriedly shook his hand and wanted to get rid of these concubines, but these concubines made up their minds not to let her continue, where could they get rid of them?

Fu Shi was anxious and panicked, and now he was restrained by the concubine, and he was immediately furious, "You dare to catch me?" I'll sell you back!" ”

These words suddenly frightened the concubines to let go of their hands and stood aside with some uneasiness.

There was one, thinking about Fu's usual methods, a breath rose in his heart, stepped forward, caught Fu again, and shouted, "In order not to make the old lady angry, madam, you sold me, and I have to persuade Mrs. ”

A few concubines next to them listened to it, and they understood what the concubine meant, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

The concubine was arrogant herself, and she would make the Fu family suffer a big loss if she was sold, but they didn't have the courage to do so.

But Fu Shi deeply felt that his reputation and even his life were in one fell swoop, just a concubine, where could he catch her? With just one struggle, he threw the person away.

"Mama, please, please......" Fu was very afraid of the consequences, so he was not afraid of losing face, and pleaded with Mama Zeng with tears in his eyes.

Mama Zeng looked at Fu's face full of tears, with compassion on her face. said, "The old lady already knew that there was a concubine in your house who was pregnant and fell off, and she also knew that it was done by manpower. In the end, it is also your dereliction of responsibility as a housewife, but this time you leave the house, but it can't be avoided. ”

Before she could finish speaking, Fu's body went weak and let go of his fingers.

When Mama Zeng saw that Fu Shi let go of her fingers, she flicked the hem of her clothes slightly and went out with a little maid.

The little concubine who had lost the child stood stunned on the spot. Slowly. Her face was full of resentment, and her gaze first stared at Fu Shi, and then slowly moved away. Inspect the faces of the other concubines one by one.

The rest of the concubines were stared at like this. I was stunned at first. Then they reacted and said that they definitely didn't have such thoughts.

"Although we are also fighting openly and secretly on weekdays, this is such a loss. I won't do it. ”

"Have you forgotten, I also sent you a lot of fetal medicine at the beginning, how could it harm you?"

"We are good friends on weekdays, don't you even believe me?"

All the concubines said one after another, but their eyes swept to Fu who was sitting on the ground.

Fu didn't notice what they said, she was full of heart, the old lady knew, she knew!

I don't know how long I was frightened, but I remembered what Grandma Zeng had said, and suddenly blessed my soul - there must be a glimmer of life, there must be!

Mama Zeng didn't say who did it, just to make her face. Since the old lady didn't want her to lose face, she would definitely not seriously drive her to the Zhuangzi outside the city.

All I had to do was beg the old lady, crying and begging her, and she would surely let me go. It only took me two months, and then as soon as someone in our house got pregnant, the matter would be over.

When Fu Shi thought of this, he only felt that he had returned to the world from hell all of a sudden, and he instantly sobered up.

At this awakening, he felt a resentful gaze fall on him.

Fu wiped away his tears, looked over, and saw that it was the childless concubine. She moved her eyes again, looked left and right, and saw that the rest of the concubines looked left and right but didn't look at themselves, and sometimes accidentally bumped into them, but they quickly looked away, and suddenly understood, everyone thought they were murderers.

"Zhao, this matter is indeed my fault, as the main mother, I never noticed that you were pregnant and protected you. But you yourself are also at fault, why don't you sue me when you have a child? If you say anything, I will definitely do my best to help you keep the child......"

When she said this, she saw that the little concubine's face was still very suspicious, and her tone was full of complaints, "If you tell me that I helped you save the child, where would you be so humiliated today?" If I go to Zhuangzi and the old lady takes a concubine and comes back, I will be ruined in the future......"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and glared at the concubine angrily.

Hearing that Fu Shi was not justifying, but complaining, Aunt Zhao immediately believed Fu Shi, and the suspicion on her face suddenly disappeared, and she said, "At that time, the concubine did not confirm it, so I didn't dare to say it with Mrs., for fear that Mrs. would have a happy ......."

When the other concubines saw that what Fu said was true, they also believed it for a while, and swept their eyes back between each other, guessing which one it was.

Fu Shi was happy to see that his suspicion was cleared, but he still reprimanded Aunt Zhao and the rest of the concubines, and then took the maid's hand back to the room to dress up.

After dressing up, she took the maid to the garden of the Duchess of the Old Town.

Fu is a smart person, and after seeing the old Zhenguo Duchess, he burst into tears, swore a gambling curse, and asked the old Zhenguo Duchess to be lenient for a month or two.

The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo looked unmoved, and even showed an impatient look, and asked Fu to leave.

Where is Fu willing to go, this is the only remaining glimmer of opportunity, if she loses the rest of her life, she will not have to be a person.

So, she pleaded more and more attentively, and the gesture she made was that even the stone man had to be moved.

In the end, the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo was so worn out by her that she had to agree to a two-month grace period. She also said that if there was no good news after two months, they would all be punished.

In addition, in order not to be influenced by outsiders, they were not allowed to go out for two months, and could only spend their days in their own garden. During the handover of the housekeeper's rights, the Zhenguo Mansion was inevitably a little chaotic, for fear of disturbing their garden, the old Zhenguo Duchess explained the reason, and then asked them to close the garden gate and reopen it two months later.

Being able not to be sent to the Zhuangzi outside the city, Fu already felt that she had escaped, so she had no objection to closing the garden gate for two months, and quickly agreed.

When Fu returned to his garden, he first sent out the concubine who dared to hold him and prevent him from pleading with Mama Zeng, and then punished the rest of the concubines on the grounds that someone had assassinated the fetus in the womb of one of the concubines.

Those concubines were punished, and they hated the Fu clan even more in their hearts, and when they learned that they were going to close the garden gate to make people, they joined forces and planned to pull Zhongli Erlang to their bed.

said that Zhongli Erlang, since Mrs. Shi was suspended, his life has become more and more difficult. Originally, his qualifications were not very good, these days without his mother's guidance and support behind his back, Zhong Lide doesn't care about things, and his career is much worse.

On this day, he was approached by the old town and talked about the heir. This matter is also Zhong Li Erlang's heart disease, after all, Zhong Li Che, who he has always regarded as a thorn in the flesh, already has an eldest son.

When he heard Lao Zhenguo talk about letting him take leave to rest at home, Zhongli Erlang was very opposed. Although he wants his own heirs, they are not as good as his career.

Seeing that Zhongli Erlang's opposition was too strong, Lao Zhenguo Gong coughed and said, "Didn't you ask me before?" Why don't you want to this time? ”

Zhongli Erlang was stunned for a moment, and instantly remembered what he had asked for not long ago, and immediately had his spirit, "Grandfather is saying?" ”

"Yes, I've been keeping an eye on it since you said it. At this time, the young Yin of Daishan Mansion not far from the capital was transferred, and there happened to be a vacancy there. If you want to go, just find a reason to quit your current job, and make up for the lack of Shao Yin in a few days. ”

When Zhongli Erlang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, but he was a little incredulous, "Is it really, really the Shaoyin of Daishan Mansion?" ”

It's not that he doesn't believe in the ability of Lao Zhen Guogong, but this Shaoyin position is from the fourth grade, and it can be regarded as a high-ranking official position! Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is holding the imperial examination, it is extremely difficult for the children of the family and the nobility to become high-ranking officials.

"That's right, it's Daishan Mansion Shaoyin." Lao Zhen Guogong knew why Zhongli Erlang was so excited, and he was extremely happy. But his face turned pale, and he said sternly,

"This position is not low, and now ordinary families and powerful people can't figure out how to get such a position in the imperial examination, it's a dream. When you take office, you must remember to have a good life experience. At that time, there will be political achievements, and being transferred back to Beijing with political achievements is equivalent to gilding once. ”

Zhongli Erlang nodded hurriedly and said seriously, "Sun Er understands that he will not disgrace the Zhenguo Mansion!" ”

Lao Zhen Guogong stroked his beard and nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go, tomorrow I will resign from this errand, find a way to raise it at home, and when the time comes, I will go to Daishan Mansion to take office." ”

Zhongli Erlang no longer doubted, said goodbye to the old town Guogong, and happily returned to his house. (To be continued......)
