001 Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion
Thirty-four years of Kangxi, Beijing.
Late spring.
Just after the unitary hour, it was the time to turn on the candle, in the backyard of the fourth elder brother's mansion in the capital, in a deserted courtyard, two old mothers were sitting on the steps eating melon seeds, chatting with each other.
There was not even a person in the main room who was waiting.
Ning Ying lay on the bed with a dull gaze, looking at the tassel purse hanging from the top of the tent in a daze.
The purse is pale pink, the color has faded a little, and there is a small cherry blossom embroidered on the corner, with the appearance of budding, and I don't know what spices or herbs are inside.
The cold incense strikes.
Ning Ying crossed over, from a modern person to the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi.
The original owner of her current body is now a "Gege" in the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.
Yes, it is the fourth elder brother of the Kangxi Dynasty, Yinzhen, the future Emperor Yongzheng.
Unlike Fujin and Fujin, "Gege" does not have the canonization of the Ministry of Rites, nor does it have the crown and clothing customized by the imperial court, and its status is ...... Comparatively low.
Coincidentally, the original owner, like her name, is also called Ning Ying, sixteen years old this year, and is a show girl who has just participated in the draft and was assigned to the fourth elder brother.
The father of the original owner was a member of the Han Army Banner, and his position was not high, but he was just a five-grade civilian Beijing official - the right senator of the General Political Division.
Tongzheng Si is a Qingshui Yamen, he has no real power since the late Ming Dynasty, such a family, such a background, but his daughter can enter the prince's mansion, even if it is just a character, it is enough to provoke the eyes of many people.
Before the crossing, Ning Ying was a social animal who worked overtime every day and became a dog.
In order to relieve the pressure, Ning Ying will go to the kitchen whenever she has time.
Cooking food has become Ning Ying's favorite way to decompress.
On a well-known food app, the works she uploaded have been liked by many full-time housewives, and there are many people who follow her steps to learn how to cook.
Maybe she does have some talent in cooking, and soon, Ning Ying's account has also accumulated tens of thousands of fans, and she is often urged by fans to upload new works quickly, and occasionally a few works have been recommended on the homepage of the APP.
As a reward, her account avatar also wore a dynamic small crown of "Little Chef Lady" specially issued by the APP - the colored gems in the crown are shiny and shiny.
Ning Ying has a sense of accomplishment.
It was a weekend a few days ago, and after Ning Ying got off work, she bought a lot of ingredients in the fresh supermarket and came home to prepare for cooking.
Before going to the kitchen, she had a habit - she must first open the mobile app of Diandian Chinese.com, and then start listening to novels.
In this way, even if you are still cooking in your hands, your ears can follow the plot without delay on either side.
As a result, the phone suddenly ran out of battery.
Ning Ying hurriedly found the charging cable to charge the phone, but forgot that she still had water on her hands, and accidentally touched the socket hole, and the overwhelming numbness immediately spread throughout her body.
Before she could feel frightened, Ning Ying had already fallen.
……
By the time she woke up, she was already lying in this room.
Lying without tears for a long time, listening to the conversation of the minions outside, and according to the memories of the original owner remaining in her mind, Ning Yingcai probably figured out the situation.
Where she is now is the backyard of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.
The women in this backyard, in addition to the Fujin Wulanala clan, there is also a Li Fang Fujin, a Song Gege, a Geng Gege, and a Wu Gege.
Among them, Song Gege and Geng Gege have some qualifications.
And Wu Gege, like Ning Ying, has just participated in Kangxi's 34-year show girl election, and was personally pointed out to the fourth prince Yinzhen by Master Kong.
A month ago, the two of them entered the Elder Brother's Mansion.
Because his position is only "Gege", he has no qualifications to live alone in a courtyard, so the courtyard where Ning Ying is located is still shared with people - Wu Gege lives in the room opposite the door.
There are also a few concubines - the status of the concubines is even lower, so they share a room.
Get...... It's lively enough......
Ning Ying was thinking about it when the door suddenly creaked softly and was gently pushed open.
A round-faced maid in a pale green flag suit, holding a tray, staggered in, and did not forget to close the door with her other hand.
The twilight was gentle, and the light in the room was dim, and it was already a little difficult to see.
While lighting the lamp, the maid blew on her reddened palm, and her tone couldn't hide her joy and excitement: "Gege, look what the servant brought from the dining room?" You love it! ”
Combined with the memory of the original owner in her mind, Ning Ying knew that this girl's name was Qingyang, the same age as the original owner, and she was a personal maid who served the original owner, and she was married from her mother's house.
The lights were lit and the room suddenly lit up.
In the middle of the tray on the table is a bowl of steaming chicken soup ravioli, which has just come out of the pot: green green onions float in the bowl, the green onions are finely sliced, and the wonton skin is thin and crystal clear, and the pale pink filling is faintly visible.
It is served with shrimp skin, minced mustard, egg skin, and sesame oil in the soup......
The scent rushes straight to the brain.
Qing Yang helped Ning Ying sit up, and while waiting for her to put on embroidered shoes, he said distressedly: "Gege, hurry up and drink it while it's hot!" The slave finally came back with the people in the dining room - the wontons don't matter, the key is the chicken soup that has just come out of the pot, you have been dizzy for several days, and you have been sleeping in bed for the past few days, so you have to make up for it! ”
As soon as she said this, Ning Ying felt her head ...... Hmm, I think I'm a little dizzy.
Qing Yang's movements were swift, and after a while, he had already made a basin of warm water, soaked the handkerchief, and washed Ning Ying's face.
Being helped by Qing Yang to sit down in front of the dresser, Ning Ying raised her eyes and glanced in the mirror.
The girl in the mirror has white and delicate skin, blown and broken, with a delicate little face, beautiful facial features, and gentle eyebrows and eyes.
It's an out-and-out beauty.
Although it is said that people want to cry without tears, but ...... Such a pair of skins still made Ning Ying very satisfied.
She looked in the mirror, Qing Yang held the comb, and hurriedly helped Ning Ying comb the two heads that matched her current identity, and she didn't even wear a hair ornament, so she put down the comb and began to chant again: "Gege hurry up and drink the chicken soup wonton while it's hot, if it's cold...... Alas, let's have a hot meal here, it's not convenient! ”
When she said this, she looked around at the simplicity and coldness of the room, and couldn't help but bow her head and sigh.
Just seven or eight days after entering the house, I heard the maid and the old mother secretly chewing her tongue in private - saying that in this backyard, Li Fang Fujin is a top powerhouse, and he has released all kinds of means, and even Chang Fujin can't suppress it.
The two newcomers are only afraid that it will be difficult to even see the fourth elder brother, and after a long time, they will not be forgotten by the fourth elder brother?
Qing Yang didn't believe it when he heard it at the time - no matter how powerful this Li side Fujin is, after all, it is only a side Fujin, is it possible that he can still tie the legs of the fourth elder brother?
Chang Fujin may not be so domineering, does she want to go to heaven with a side Fujin?
Then Qing Yang was slapped in the face by reality.
First of all, on the night when the newcomer entered the mansion, it was a coincidence that Li Fang Fujin was slightly drunk after the banquet, and fell into the lotus pond, crying and making trouble.
That night, the fourth elder brother was not interested in coming to the newcomer.
Later, the fourth elder brother left Beijing, and heard that he was going to help the emperor on an errand.
This is more than ten days.
finally waited for the fourth elder brother to come back, Qing Yangman thought that his own Gege would always be able to show his face in front of the fourth elder brother.
In fact, this is indeed the case-I heard that the fourth elder brother had already instructed Su Peisheng that day, let Xin Gege prepare, and also named the girl who summoned Senator Ning first.
As a result, it was a coincidence that day, Li Fangfujin was unwell and called a doctor.
I thought it was just an ordinary doctor, but I was diagnosed with a happy pulse.
That's a big deal!
Although Li Fangfujin already has two grids, after all, the fourth elder brother does not have a son-in-law, and this baby may not be a boy.
There was a sensation in the entire Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, and even Fujin had to get up in the middle of the night, pick up the virtuous strength of his wife, and put on his clothes to visit Li Fangfujin, who had severe morning sickness.
His own Gege had already bathed and changed his clothes at that time, but when he heard that he couldn't go, he froze on the spot.
When the messenger left, Gege turned around and went into the back room, lying on the bed and crying silently - he was afraid that the old mother and maid in the other room would hear it, so he could only bite the quilt, and his tears soaked the sheets.
Qing Yang watched from the side, not to mention how distressed he was.
It's okay to cry out! She thought - although her own young lady is a concubine, she has been disciplined too harshly by her wife since she was a child, and she has formed a cowardly and timid character, and she only wants to rest and calm down when she encounters things.
Especially after Mrs. got a serious illness a few years ago, her consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes confused, and the affairs in the house were handed over to Aunt Guo, who has always been favored, to take care of them, and she was called "helping for Mrs."
That Aunt Guo took this opportunity to release a very good means to cover the sky and the sun in the house, and she was thoughtful, and for a while she was more decent than a serious lady, and even the status of the second lady with her concubine also soared.
Since then, her own young lady no longer cares about the things around her, whether it is the old mother who takes her pastries, or the big girls who have no rules in front of her, laughing and scolding, she is like a deaf and blind person, ignoring it.
After a long time, the people in Miss Yan's courtyard have lost their dignity more and more.
Only Qing Yang, the personal maid next to the young lady, can sometimes scold them a few words.
This is a preface, so let's not mention it for now.
Qing Yang had just helped Ning Ying to stand up, when a little girl bumped into her outside and shouted in a daze: "Sister Qing Yang, it's not good!" Fang Fujin wants to see Gege! Said to let Gege go over immediately! ”
Qing Yang's expression tightened, and he said, "Do you know what the matter is?" ”
The little maid shook her head blankly.
This little girl's name is Ting'er, she is young, her heart is still like a child, and she is a little playful, Qing Yang knows that this is a bad thing, so she doesn't ask more questions at the moment, and only looks at Ning Ying: "Gege, or ...... The slave went back to the court, only saying that Gege has been in very bad health for the past few days, and now he is still asleep in bed, and he can't get out of bed at all! ”
Ning Ying shook her head.
I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth.
If Li Fangfujin wanted to see her, she wouldn't be able to dodge this level no matter what.
