Chapter 21: Crisis

Ma Jia's house

Recently, the Hitara clan has been restless, and he has been kneeling in the Buddha hall all day long and praying to his ancestors and ancestors.

She also faintly heard a little wind about the things in the palace, her heart was so distressed that she was about to drip blood, how could this kind of thing happen when she saw that life was finally getting better? Did God make up his mind not to let them have a good time?

"Madam, the uncle is here." Mama Tu was also very distressed when she saw her wife's sad appearance, but she just took pity on the eldest lady, how could she become an ominous person for no reason.

"Oh, help me out." Sitara pretended to be strong, and stumbled a little because of the numbness of his leg when he got up.

"My son meets E-niang." Ma Jia Boshi saw E-Niang come out and hurriedly stepped forward to help, "E-Niang's face is not very good, you should pay more attention to rest recently." ”

Looking at the handsome and graceful son beside her, but with a decadent atmosphere, Hitara couldn't help but feel sad, she had a son and a daughter in her life, but she just made people, and her son and daughter are now in a miserable situation.

patted Boshi's hand gently, "E-niang knows, you also pay more attention to rest, there is no need to be angry with your father anymore, you will always find a way out." ”

Ma Jia Boshi looked at the much older Eniang, and remembered that the excerpt he was going to serve in the southern battlefield a few days ago was intercepted by his "good father", and said that "if you don't do your job, you will only think nonsense all day long." ”

At that time, he secretly made up his mind that from now on he would only respect Ma Jia Gaishan and would no longer ask for any father-son affection.

"E-niang, don't worry, I don't want anything now, I have written to the palace, and I think I will receive a reply from my sister soon."

He had already planned for a long time, and after receiving the news from the palace, he was ready to go to the southern battlefield to take refuge in his great general Ni Zhuoma, but now he was still relieved of his mother and sister, so he did not leave for a long time.

Naturally, Maja Boshi's letter did not come in through serious channels, but there was a little eunuch of the Sitara clan who was doing chores in the imperial dining room, so the letter was hidden in a plate of sesame cakes and brought to the Youyou Pavilion.

Shu Wan broke the sesame cakes one by one, and after piecing together the letters, she also had a general understanding of the whole thing, and hurriedly wrote another letter back.

At the end of the letter, he deliberately added, "As soon as June arrives, I think of the pomegranates I used to eat at Zhuangzi, and the taste is really nostalgic." Then he generously handed the letter to the little eunuch who specially delivered the letter.

Although her situation in the palace is very dangerous now, the child is her hole card to save her life, as long as the child is still there, Kangxi will not easily touch her, so she is more worried about her mother and brother outside the palace than herself.

Letters in the palace must be inspected before they can be sent out of the palace, the purpose of this is to prevent the palace concubines from carrying some official utensils outside, and also to prevent any undesirable remarks from leaking out.

So after reading the whole article, Shu Wan's letter only wrote some short stories about the parents, and also added some lamentations for fate in a timely manner.

In fact, Shu Wan knew that Concubine Rou had not relaxed her vigilance against her, and since she returned to favor, Concubine Rou had been secretly monitoring her, although Concubine Rou had been in the palace for a short time, she had the means, the grace and the support of the Ma Jia clan behind her, so naturally there were many people who worked hard for Rou Concubine.

As soon as Shu Wan's letter was delivered to the old eunuch who checked the letter, the old eunuch who was already full of wrinkles hurriedly ran to Zhong Cui Palace with the letter and handed it over to Rou Concubine.

Concubine Rou read the letter at a glance and ten lines, the letter was just some trivial things, and she couldn't help but sneer and threw the letter to the ground, "You did a good job in this matter, Begonia reward." ”

When the old eunuch heard this, he immediately smiled, and those large and small folds were piled together, "Slave Xie Niangniang, then this letter..."

"Re-seal it and send it out, if there is anything in the future, report it to the palace in time, and it won't treat you badly." Concubine Rou smiled disdainfully, it was just a letter, she just thought it was a grace to Shu Wan.

"Yes, the minion obeys."

After the old eunuch walked out of Zhongcui Palace, he checked the purse he had just gotten, yo, it was heavy, there could be at least ten taels of silver, hehe, it seems that he really chose the right choice when he took refuge in Concubine Rou.

Waiting for the letter to arrive, after reading the letter, Ma Jia Boshi kept frowning, on the one hand, worried about his sister's departure, and on the other hand, he was still a little puzzled.

Since his sister came back from the last letter, he thought that his sister had read and figured it out, and his sister's opinions on many things were even ashamed of him, but now what is this letter for? And the last sentence is also very strange, because Eniang doesn't like the meaning of pomegranates, so the two brothers and sisters usually don't eat pomegranates at all.

After reading the letter, Hitara thought for a while, and then went back to the dormitory and took out the flower box carved from pomegranate wood from under the pillow.

"This is the last time I entered the palace, Wan'er specially asked me to take it back, but there is no key, you can see how to open it."

Picked up the small wooden box and looked around, Maja Boshile, isn't this the game he and his sister often played when he was a child, that is, two people hid an object in the box, and then asked the other party to guess what was in the box.

This kind of box is very ingeniously designed, although there is a lock on it, but it is actually a fake lock, it is useless at all, this box should be opened from the bottom, gently groped the box body with his hand, and sure enough, he touched a small bulge, he pressed it without hesitation.

With a "snap", the box was opened, and the two took out two letters from the box first, one read, "Brother Boshi personally opened", and the other was "E-Niang personally opened".

The two hurriedly opened the letter, and after reading the letter, their faces were full of surprise, and they hurriedly read it again.

The two of them stood there for a long time, they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, it turned out that Shu Wan had already prepared, and the letter also stated her plans for the future, and quickly looked at the other things in the box, only to see that each item was marked with its name and function.

"E-niang, how did you say my sister did it?" Thinking of the things mentioned in the letter just now, Ma Jia Bocheng still felt like he was in a dream, and hurriedly pinched his thigh, hiss! Hurt.

"This, I don't know, your sister said that there were immortals who gave her dreams, so she suddenly opened her mind."

The Hitara clan hadn't come back to his senses yet, but looking at the porcelain vase in his hand, his eyes gradually became firm, "Since Wan'er has already planned, then we will act according to the plan, and it will never harm us anyway." ”

The Hitara clan has been married to Ma Jia Gaishan for so many years, and he has long been like a dead heart, and the once domineering Manchurian aunt and grandmother have to compromise, and now after reading the letter, the feeling of riding a horse and whipping when he was young seems to be back.

"Yes, son, I'm going to prepare."

Ma Jia Boshi looked at the things in his hands, his eyes were unstoppably surging, and his heart was beating fast, a good boy is ambitious in all directions, he will definitely show his skills on the battlefield this time, let all those who look down on him see that he is by no means the so-called "waste talent"!

Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Eniang, Ma Jia Boshi carried a shriveled burden and rode a chestnut horse on the road to the south.

Looking at the people and horses walking away, the Hitara clan felt joy and anxiety for the growth of his son, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around and said, "Mama, can the news be dispersed?" ”

"Yes, according to Madame's instructions, the slave did not directly tell Zhang San the news, but let someone secretly reveal it to Zhang Sanchang to go to the little peach in the flower building, presumably it will soon reach the ears of that person." A sly smile appeared on Mama Tu's face.

"That medicine can't be given out all at once, we have to find a way to hang her appetite," Hitara looked at the sky, a sneer curled into the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, slave understands."

Shu Wan actually prefers the life in the Secluded Pavilion, there are few people and it is quiet, but it would be better if there were no flies or two.

"I don't know if Sister Ma is doing well, my sister I look really pitiful."

Xiao Guo stood at the door of the Youyou Pavilion with disgust on his face, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, "This place is in tatters, it's really embarrassing for my sister." ”

In fact, Xiao Guo's deliberately came to see Shu Wan's jokes today, who let her return to favor not long after Shu Wan was favored, which made the emperor's favor to her lose more than half of it all of a sudden, which made Xiao Guo's really hate Shu Wan.

"Sister Guo is too exaggerated, I live here very well."

Shu Wan yawned and looked at Xiao Guo boredly, she didn't expect that Xiao Guo would show her fox tail in just a few months, hey, why are you so stupid, Shu Wan still wants to watch a few more good shows.

"Really?" Xiao Guo didn't believe it, looking at Shu Wan, who was enjoying the shade on the recliner on the side, becoming more and more radiant because of her pregnancy, there was a burst of anger in her heart, and she couldn't wait for some accident to make Shu Wan die.

"My sister knows the bitterness in my sister's heart, no, I will personally bring the best bird's nest to my sister." Xiao Guo insisted on stuffing a bag of bird's nest into Shu Wan's hand.

Shu Wan just wanted to refuse, but Xiao Guo spoke again, "Sister, don't refuse your sister's heart, besides, even if your sister doesn't want it, you have to think about the little brother in your belly." ”

At this time, Shu Wan was completely speechless, so she had to let Zhiqiu take the bird's nest, and finally sent the grinding little Guo away, and Shu Wan didn't even look at the bird's nest again.

"Zhiqiu, later, you will send the bird's nest to Yikun Palace to Yi Concubine Niangniang, just say that I am really not blessed to accept such a good thing." Shu Wan waved her hand and continued to pick up the book on her stomach to read the three-character scripture for the little brother in her stomach.

Zhiqiu's eyes flashed, "Yes." ”

Yikun Palace

"Back to Yi Concubine Niangniang, our little master said that she didn't like to eat bird's nest, and she couldn't be blessed with such a good bird's nest sent by Guo Xiaozhu, so she specially ordered the slave maid to send the bird's nest back to Yikun Palace."

Yi Concubine took the bird's nest with some hesitation, but she really didn't know what Shu Wan was trying to do with this play

After Zhiqiu left, Yi Concubine opened the bird's nest and looked at it, and suddenly even her lungs exploded, this bird's nest was actually smoked with sulfur, did Xiao Guo want to anger her?

Dare to blatantly send out the problematic bird's nest like this, really, really... Yi was trembling with anger, and she really couldn't think of the right words to describe Xiao Guo's stupidity.

Yi Concubine covered her dizzy head, and casually pointed to a small eunuch next to her, "Now bring Guo Changzai to the palace." ”

Xiao Guo walked slowly with figure-eight steps, and saluted casually, "I don't know what my sister called me for?" ”

"What's the matter? Good work you do! Did you send this bird's nest? Yi Concubine pointed to the bird's nest on the table and said angrily.

Xiao Guo's heart was already weak, but now he was also startled when he saw the bird's nest, and quickly shook his head and denied it, "What bird's nest, I don't know, sister, don't wronged me!" ”

"Humph! It's strange if you don't know, you want to use such a stupid method to harm people, are you having enough of a good life. ”

When Xiao Guo heard this, he stood up angrily, "Hmph! Yi Concubine Niangniang, when I call you sister, it is also in the sisterhood of our in the past, but if you insist on putting this kind of trumped-up charge on my head, then don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Yi Concubine to react, and went out with his stomach up.

There was a sound of broken porcelain behind her, Yi Concubine finished venting her anger, and her eyes stared at the direction where Xiao Guo left, "Mama Guo, don't worry about Guo Chang's affairs in the future, whether she is dead or alive has nothing to do with the palace, you know?" ”

"Yes, the old slave obeys." Mama Guo sighed in her heart, why did the originally kind and lovely second lady become like this as soon as she entered the palace?
