Chapter 51: The Marriage Contract
She cares about her loved ones, she cares about this land where she has lived for two lifetimes, and even if she knows the ending, she doesn't want to regret it for the rest of her life if she didn't work hard.
It's just that before that, she has to hold up the palace first.
Ning Yi's eyes fell on the food in Chunya's hand, "Isn't it bad in the house these days?" ”
Chunya and Qiulu glanced at each other and hesitated: "It's a little bad, big brother, no, it's the emperor now, since the emperor was accepted into the palace, the atmosphere in the palace has been a little. ”
The words were not finished, but Ning Yi also understood, "Chunya, you go and let the kitchen make a new meal and send it to the Fujin courtyard, Qiulu, you help me change my clothes, and we will go to Fujin." ”
"Yes!"
Ning Yi stepped into the main courtyard, and he could feel the gloomy atmosphere in Chunya's mouth, the people around him bowed their heads and did their own thing, without even a word or two of conversation, and the whole courtyard, there were obviously many people, but it was as quiet as death.
Ning Yi called out to a maid on the side, "Today, has Fujin had lunch?" ”
The maid bowed her head and said, "Qi Yu Gege, I have used it, but Fu Jin has a bad appetite in recent days, and he almost withdrew it after only a few mouthfuls." ”
"What about the second elder brother?"
"It's all the nurse who is bringing it."
Ning Yi sighed slowly before stepping into the main house.
"Fifth sister-in-law."
Guerjia put down the account book, rubbed his eyebrows, raised his eyes to see her, and showed a tired smile, "Ning Yi is here." ”
Ning Yi looked at the Guerjia clan, who had obviously lost a lot of weight these days, and sat on the stool, "The fifth sister-in-law looks a lot haggard, are you still worried about the emperor?" ”
"Your Majesty?" Guerjia smiled bitterly, "Yes, now my biological mother is going to kneel and call herself a concubine when she sees him." ”
Ning Yi felt uncomfortable when she heard this, but she could only persuade: "I know that the fifth sister-in-law is worried, but now that the country is in mourning, the fifth brother has been named the regent again, and many things inside and outside the house still have to be handled by the fifth sister-in-law, even if the fifth sister-in-law doesn't care about this, there is still the second elder brother here, for him, you have to cheer up!" ”
"Pu Jie." Guerjia thought of her youngest son, but she was only two years old, and she was indulging in the pain of snatching her son these days, so she really ignored it, thinking of this, she hurriedly asked Lan Yue on the side, "Is the second elder brother okay lately?" Can the people around you do their best? ”
Lan Yuefu replied: "Fujin rest assured, the second elder brother has been taken care of by the nurse these days, and the subordinates are all personally selected by you, and they are all very dedicated." ”
Guerjia still didn't feel at ease after thinking about it, "You go and bring the second elder brother." ”
"Yes."
Lan Yue withdrew, and in the room, the Guerjia clan turned back to her senses and bent the corners of her mouth towards Ning Yi, "Thank you, Ning Yi, they didn't dare to mention him in my ear, and even ignored Pu Jie, for fear that I would think of something sad." ”
Ning Yi smiled faintly, "The fifth sister-in-law is willing to focus on other things, and the sadness in her heart will be a little better." ”
Guerjia picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip, "I can't do anything other than be sad, I treat her as a mother, but I didn't expect that she would dig out one of my hearts until she died." ”
Ning Yi knew that she was talking about Cixi, Pu Yi's matter was always a thorn, if it wasn't really desperate, what kind of mother was willing to give away her son and kneel down to her son, and she couldn't call herself a mother.
"Now that the mother concubine is sick, the fifth sister-in-law should also take care of her body, if there are any chores that need to be done, just ask."
The two big Buddhas in the Forbidden City went, and now the alcohol prince's mansion has been changed to the regent palace, it can be said that in addition to the milk doll on the dragon chair, now the most powerful is the regent Zaifeng, in this way, the palace regulations have expanded, there are a lot more miscellaneous things in the house, and the movement outside has decreased a lot because of the national mourning, but after the 27th day, the courtiers will definitely have to be busy in addition to serving.
Of course, Ning Yi's automatic invitation made the Guarjia clan breathe a sigh of relief, but she still told her to take care of her body, and if she couldn't bear it, tell her immediately.
Ning Yi accompanied Guerjia's family to reuse the meal, then got up and retired, and when he left the main courtyard, he went to Liu Jia's courtyard.
Although Liu Jiashi was sick, fortunately it didn't look so serious, but he just pulled Ning Yi and cursed Cixi, which seemed to outsiders to be rebellious, but it was the source of all the pain in this woman's life.
"Mother, if you miss the emperor in your heart, you can take Pu Jie to take care of him for a few days."
Liu Jiashi leaned on the collapse and waved his hand, "Forget it, I still don't want to be a villain who broke up their mother and son, I know she feels uncomfortable, and I came here like this back then." ”
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but in this way, the relationship between Liu Jia's and Guerjia's has reached an unprecedented harmony, maybe there is a common pain, maybe there is a common enemy, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were originally disagreeable with each other can now often see Guerjia taking their son to Liu Jia's yard to ask for peace.
One afternoon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted.
Guerjia picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then put it down and said with a smile: "Ning Yi has become more and more capable in the past year, and the ladies of each family have praised her with me for several banquets recently. ”
Speaking of this little daughter, Liu Jia's is the most satisfied and the most painful in her heart, she patted Pu Jie's back in her arms, "Ping An has always been sensible, and he has never let people worry about it since he was a child, if he wasn't weak, with his appearance and identity, he would have become the most beautiful in the capital." ”
"Yes, counting the capital, I can't count the number of people who can be on Ningyi." Guerjia's smile faded, as if he was a little hesitant, "It's just that recently, those ladies came to the door and reminded me of something." ”
Liu Jiashi handed Pu Jie, who was already well-behaved and asleep in his arms, to the nurse, wiped his hands with the fine silk, and glanced at her, "What's the matter?" ”
"Ning Yi is also nineteen years old this year, but if she doesn't follow the rules of our Manchu Qing Dynasty, her marriage should also be put on the agenda."
Liu Jiashi was stunned when he heard this, frowned, and his face was not very good-looking.
Guerjia glanced at her carefully, and continued: "It's just that now that Yu Li's son is gone, I don't know when I will come back, if there is no news, the girl's family will not be able to delay the age." ”
"Bang!" The cup snorted heavily on the small table, and the room fell silent in an instant, and after a while, I heard Liu Jiashi gritting his teeth and saying: "That woman doesn't want me to live well even if she dies, will it be difficult for me to spoil the rest of my safe life in her hands?!" ”
The Guerjia clan hurriedly stepped forward to reassure, "Don't worry, concubine, now that the person who gave the order is gone, there is no room for things to turn around." ”。
Liu Jiashi relieved herself, indeed as she said, it is her grandson who is sitting on the throne now, and it is her son who is in power, and she is just a dead ghost, she no longer needs to be afraid of her power, prostrate at her feet.
