"What's wrong? Weng Weng came back with a letter? Zhu Mingyan's first reaction was that the war in the north had changed, Mrs. Zhou reached out and stroked her cheeks, which were not fat by pregnancy, sighed distressedly, swallowed back the words to her mouth, and then thought about it before she said euphemistically: "The fourth master is still resting in Sun's house for a while?" ”

"He has been resting in my room for a while, but he is resting in the study." There was no joy in Zhu Mingyan's voice, and her brows frowned involuntarily, and Mrs. Zhou was stunned: "Haven't you been to the Sun family once?" Why are you annoyed by the Sun family? Have you inquired? ”

"What am I asking about this?" Zhu Mingyan's eyebrows were full of disdain: "He can come if he wants to, he can go to whichever courtyard he wants to rest, and he can spoil whoever he wants, what do I have to inquire about?" ”

"You Nizi!" Old Madam Zhou was distressed and helpless: "The fourth master has been resting with you for a while, except for the outer study, look at you, how can you still be like this?" Could it be that because you come a few more times, your temper will come up? ”

"Wife!" Zhu Mingyan shouted with a little thin annoyance: "I grew up beside you since I was a child, you don't know me, how can I be such a shallow person, it's really ......" Zhu Mingyan wanted to speak and stopped, Old Madam Zhou looked abrupt, and hurriedly straightened up and asked: "What's wrong?" Don't hide it from your wife. Mrs. Zhou's words were quick and urgent, and Zhu Mingyan pondered her words and said: "Earlier, he rested here, and he rested in the warm pavilion outside, and the warm jade and they waited, but for a while," Zhu Mingyan paused, and a layer of gloom appeared on her face: "He asked me to clean up the wing room outside the weeping flower gate and rest there all the time." ”

Mrs. Zhou was startled, Zhu Mingyan lowered her eyes and continued: "He came to have a meal in this house, that's it, wife," Zhu Mingyan looked at Mrs. Zhou, with a bitter face: "At the beginning, you persuaded me, saying that this pass was difficult, I never listened to your words, and I didn't know until today that this pass is ......" Zhu Mingyan choked up, couldn't go on, Mrs. Zhou sighed, moved over and hugged her granddaughter distressed: "Silly child, married to all of you, then look forward, which family is not like this?" Look at it, which family is not a group of concubines? This is a wife, what you want is respect, you see, you have a child now, this woman, if you have a child, you will have a head, it's better, don't think so much, it's not the fourth master, who is not like this when you marry? ”

"Well," Zhu Mingyan raised her head slightly, and swallowed back the tears that had poured into her eyes: "Wife, don't worry, let's continue to talk, he came here, I talked to him, he was always distracted, and the look on his face was ......" Zhu Mingyan didn't know how to describe it: "Mother, I don't know how to describe it, there seems to be a layer of light on my face, very gentle, the corners of my mouth haven't moved, but I can see joy, my eyes are very gentle, I'm ......" The look on Zhu Mingyan's face was even more painful: "That time in the back garden of the palace of Dongyang County, I saw that look on his face once, and I thought it was ...... Later, I found out that he was waiting for Sister Li there. ”

Old Madam Zhou's shocked body shook back and forth: "Don't you read it wrong? You? Thinking too much, right? ”

"No, wife, it's not once, I see it clearly, these days," Zhu Mingyan subconsciously glanced outside: "He wasn't in the house, he said that he was resting here with me, but in fact, he changed his clothes and went out, and he lost a lot of weight, wife, who did he fall in love with, why can't he tell me?" Do you have to hide outside? Am I so jealous and unreasonable in his eyes? He doesn't like me, I know, but he shouldn't believe me so much! The more Zhu Mingyan spoke, the more sad she became, but she wanted to endure it and go back so that she wouldn't let herself cry.

Old Madam Zhou looked at Zhu Mingyan in a daze, and only after a while did she take a deep breath, looked directly at Zhu Mingyan and said: "Sister Ming, this matter is not as simple as you think, I came directly to you from the ban, Ye Guifei summoned me as anxious as a spark, have you heard about the case in the Dingguo Mansion?" ”

"I heard that the Sun family came to beg the master last night, as if he was crying or something, but the master ...... Alas! Zhu Mingyan sighed, her expression gloomy: "I didn't have the heart to listen to her at all, I only heard the word 'female dependent', and I actually sent this incident to me!" This is obviously a matter of the outside yamen, what can I do? Zhu Mingyan remembered the attitude of the four princes towards the Sun family last night, and once again the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and Mrs. Zhou raised her hand with pity and hatred and pointed at Zhu Mingyan and said: "You kid, you are still so careless, what is he...... Alas, what the concubine meant, the case of Dingguo Gong is the black hand of our house. ”

"What?!" Zhu Mingyan was shocked and angry, and Mrs. Zhou hurriedly waved her hand to signal her to calm down: "There will be more ridiculous things in the future, look at you!" What does it mean to be in a state of chaos? Zhu Mingyan took a deep breath: "I said, no matter what the master does, he won't not listen to Sun's crying, even if he doesn't hear it, the lawsuit in the Dingguo Mansion has not been fought for a day or two, can he still know outside?" Just give me this matter, this is suspicious of me! The more Zhu Mingyan spoke, the more angry she became, her straight face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.

"Be still!" Mrs. Zhou scolded, Zhu Mingyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and kept nodding to indicate that she knew, Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhu Mingyan's mood and stabilized a little, and then she said: "I have to tell you about this, you must know, Sister Ming, you listen to me, your temper has to be changed, don't say that you are a woman, you are a man, and you can't be so bent by your temperament, then you will have to break sooner or later!" Listen to me, when the fourth master comes back, explain this matter to him well, our house, let's wish, you are by no means such a treacherous person, we can't do this sneaky thing. ”

"What do I have to explain?" Zhu Mingyan's face was full of anger: "Zhu family is a century-old family, he doesn't know how the family is teaching?" I've been married to him for a year, and he doesn't know what kind of person I am? If he doubts me...... If you doubt that I ......" Zhu Mingyan's voice trembled and couldn't say a sentence: "What else do I have to say?" I said he would believe it? I don't have much to say! ”

"You!" Mrs. Zhou looked at her granddaughter distressed, and wanted to persuade but really didn't know what to say, after a while, she sighed several times, helped the kang to get up and get off the kang and said: "You are pregnant, this is a trivial matter, don't go up to the heart, you can rest assured, although the wife is old, but the means are not old, even so, it just takes a little effort, let's find out the person behind this and hand it over to them, you can rest assured, there is a wife." ”

"Wife!" Zhu Mingyan stood up, stretched out her hand to hold Mrs. Zhou's arm, pressed her cheek to the past, and gently rubbed on Mrs. Zhou's sideburns, this involuntary little daughter's attitude made Mrs. Zhou's heart sad and soft, hugged her and patted her gently, and said a few words of relief, pressed her back on the kang, and went back to the house.

In the palace far away from the capital, the official family carried his hands behind his back and only took Eunuch Zheng to enjoy the flowers in the greenhouse.

"This camellia is not blooming well this year." The official spoke slowly, his breath was slightly frivolous, and Eunuch Zheng looked at him worriedly from behind and smiled: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I haven't seen a good camellia in the past ten years." ”

"Alas!" For a long time, the official family sighed leisurely, since she left, there was indeed no good camellia: "What about the incident in the Dingguo Mansion is still making trouble?" ”

"Yes, I received a secret fold from Hou Fuyin again this afternoon......"

"Humph!" The official snorted coldly and interrupted Eunuch Zheng's words: "What is this?" Now that he has confessed the Lord, he should be single-minded! The left is a clear fold and the right is a dense fold, what a villain! ”

"This is also human nature," Eunuch Zheng explained with a little carelessness: "No matter how much he recognizes the lord, he is also His Majesty's courtier, and it is not wrong to do so." The official snorted coldly again, but did not reject Eunuch Zheng's words, and Eunuch Zheng continued: "The case of the Dingguo Mansion, don't let the fifth master make trouble again, the Dingguo Mansion is really a pond fish." ”

"Pond fish? Is there a pond fish in that city? The official laughed: "Let them make trouble!" Eunuch Zheng swallowed his saliva, no one knows the temper of the official family better than him, since he said so, there is no need to say anything about this matter, it is useless to say more.

"It's freezing here, and I don't know what the north is cold," Eunuch Zheng cleverly changed the topic: "That year, I waited for His Majesty's northern expedition, a glass of boiling water, and it was only a dozen steps out of the tent, and it was cold, and I was young at that time, and I didn't feel how cold it was." ”

"No, it's been more than ten or twenty years." The official family stopped, turned around, and looked at the outside of the glass shed for a while, and then said abruptly: "Big brother has been working with me in the north since he was a child, and I can trust him." Eunuch Zheng's ears seemed to move, and he didn't dare to make a sound while holding his breath, waiting for the official to say more.

"Wangdan is nothing, he has a Mo knife in his hand." The official's voice was extremely low, and Eunuch Zheng hesitated and said: "That's it on the grassland, the battle is easy to fight, and people are hard to find, I remember that when His Majesty conquered the North Court, he also had the most headache ...... this, and then finally lured the main force of the North Court out and wiped it out, and the north had more than ten years of peace, but that battle, Your Majesty has been preparing for more than a year, if it is "

"If there is no trace of Wangdan during the Spring Festival, call the eldest brother back, right?" The official family took Eunuch Zheng's words, and continued in a calm voice, Eunuch Zheng smiled and didn't speak, the official family turned his head and glanced at him and said: "I know that you love him the most, don't worry, he is my son, I am fine, and he is the same!" ”

Eunuch Zheng sighed silently, the official family is good at everything, it's just this heart, it's too ruthless! Be cruel to others, but also be cruel to yourself.

"Does Ning Qianfu have any letters?" The official walked slowly forward again, and Eunuch Zheng hurriedly replied, "There is no letter." ”

"Well," the official family had a playful taste: "When Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai entered the household department to practice, I thought they had a choice in their hearts, but I didn't expect Jiang Hong to invite himself to the side, Xu Sihai made another scene, these little guys, interesting!" ”

"Yes, Xu Bangyan pulled out the Ding Jin Jing this time, and the people who died in vain in Ningqian Mansion can be regarded as blind." Eunuch Zheng sighed with emotion, and the official family said casually: "Everyone is going to die." Eunuch Zheng glanced at the official family and sighed secretly, she was right, in the eyes of the official family, no matter how many lives there were, it was just a number.
