The draft began.

The harem of the Forbidden City is busy.

After the fourth master retired from the dynasty on this day, he returned to the household department and began to work on the new thing that Kangxi handed over to him - reform and taxation.

The palace maid of Yonghe Palace came over to talk to the fourth master and asked him to go to the palace of Concubine De to drink tea.

The fourth master knew that there was something wrong with Concubine De.

After being busy with the things at hand, he came to Yonghe Palace.

Mother and son sat opposite each other, each holding a teacup, and the quartz clock ticked.

"Honghui is gone. You don't even have a son-in-law. Concubine De finally spoke.

The fourth master couldn't help frowning, and answered: "Fujin is not virtuous, my son let her meditate in the main courtyard." ”

Concubine De frowned, remembering the Wulanala clan, and said angrily: "She really failed the expectations of the palace. ”

"E-niang doesn't need to worry about her son." The fourth master comforted him.

"Your fourteenth brother has always refused to get married. You have a son-in-law again, can this palace not worry? Concubine De said.

"Even if there is no son-in-law, the son will have other children." The fourth master said.

"But if there is no son-in-law, there is no orthodox heir. How is the Wulanala clan not virtuous, you still have to let her have another son-in-law. Concubine De persuaded.

The fourth master was bored for a while, and he was for the Ulanala clan.

"In this draft, this palace will point you two more into the back house. If there are good ones, three is not too many. Concubine De said.

It's all the old rules.

The fourth master would not refuse, so he drank two teas with Concubine De and withdrew.

After working in the household department for an afternoon, the fourth master thought that Wanying already had a child in her belly, so she left the palace early.

When I returned to the house, I didn't have time to change my clothes, so I went to Mingyue Xuan.

But I didn't go, I met Su Shi on the way.

The fourth master looked at her with a big belly, and she hadn't been to her for a long time, so it was not easy to ignore it.

"Master, the concubine is looking forward to the concubine sitting on the side of the concubine, but the master is so ruthless that he has never go." Su Shi said with a big belly.

"Let's go. Go and sit in your room. The fourth master said.

Su Shi was secretly complacent, and went back to his courtyard with the fourth master.

"Your belly is about to give birth. Are the delivery room and the midwife ready? The fourth master picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"It's all ready. But the concubine is afraid. What should I do if I don't have a good birth? Su said delicately.

"You can't think about such a thing. The more I think about it, the worse I feel about myself. You just have to do what you say. The fourth master said.

"Lord Belle, the concubine actually wants to discuss something with you." Su Shi looked at the fourth master's gentle mouth, so he said boldly.

"What?" The fourth master asked.

"Now that Fujin has no big brother, his health is not good. Fang Fujin has three children to raise. If the concubine is born, can the child stay with the concubine and raise it? Su Shi said cautiously.

It's a rule-breaking requirement.

The fourth master was silent for a moment.

But Su's words are not unreasonable. Fu Jin's appearance, can he still hand over the child to her to raise? The Li family has three children, and his temperament is not very lenient, so he raised the children for her, and the fourth master himself was not at ease.

Su Shi looked at the fourth master with a hesitant look, and then said, "The concubine knows that this request is embarrassing for Lord Belle. But the concubine really wants to raise her own children by herself. Why do you want to be separated from flesh and bones? ”

Maybe it was the last sentence that touched the fourth master.

Anyway, it is not without precedent for Gege to raise his own children, and there are such situations in various prefectures. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Daily Literature of the Four Masters and Concubines" for free for the first time.
