Chapter 12 Qi Su Niang after the person walks away from tea and cools [4]
The strips are very green, the spring flowers are blooming and thanking, and the green leaves are already blooming outside the straight fast, although it will take a while to bloom, but the dry lotus branches have long been gone.
The eighth elder brother sat alone in Tongzhi Zhai, heard the sound of footsteps outside the fast, turned his head to look, and stood up with a slight smile, "The old fourteen is back." ”
"Starling, as soon as I arrived in Beijing, you handed me a letter and called me, what's the matter?" The fourteenth elder brother who rushed back from the Zhili Hebiao military camp, the dust on the lotus green palace satin arrow sleeve robe on his body had not yet had time to be dusted, frowned and listened to what the eighth elder brother said, slowly stood up, held the Ugin horsewhip, and walked around in Tongzhi Zhai with a face full of trouble.
The white gauze folding fan in the hand of the eighth elder brother was neatly and neatly collected, and the inside of the fan bone was faintly engraved with an inscription, but it was closed, and only a narrow Xiangfei mud gold fan bone was seen.
He looked at the fourteenth elder brother, "You also take care of her, she is too bold." Delon killed her brother, she killed him, and now she refuses to stop, although there is no movement, but she is watching the void. If you don't bounce and suppress her, you can only do the same as last time, and when she is done, rush to clean up her tail. The master and the slave are all messed up. I'm afraid that you will provoke her in the future, and she will dare to turn her face as usual. ”
The fourteenth elder brother frowned: "She won't do anything now, she has always been afraid of the prince, but now she just can't bear it and look at the direction of the wind." Moreover, she understands the rules for major events, and she and I are also done with a fuss. ”
Eighth Elder Brother sighed, "Even if it is like this, you have to be used to her, and you have to have a sense of proportion, if you don't teach her to discipline her, how will she know what a master is and what a slave is?" After a pause, "If you only need to use her once, it's fine, but it's a good thing, just like Liu San'er at the beginning, just clean up after you finish it." It's just that she is favored in front of your eyes, and if you don't take care of her for a day, you have to teach her the rules of being a slave. The masters are talking about things, it is her turn to intervene in her own private affairs, blame me, Qi San I pressed this matter, but she made her own opinion, but she was out of Lao Jiu's bad breath, and also called the prince a little tired in front of the emperor, and she did a good job in Jiangnan's errands, and she only cared about being happy for a while, and treated her too lenient......"
The lotus flowers on the gourd lake in the west flower of Jianfu Palace are in full bloom, and the green leaves and red flowers are connected to the sky. Because it is Concubine De's thirty-five-year-old life. The lords of each palace gathered in the Lotus Pavilion, and all the brothers also came to congratulate their birthdays.
In the inner hall of the Lotus Pavilion, Qi Su Niang stood on the side of the Queen Mother and looked at the face of the fourteenth elder brother in the outer hall, only to feel that although he had a smile on his face, he was clearly angry with a cold face.
She bit her lip and went outside with Brother Ten for a few months, according to the rules, she had to come forward to say goodbye. Although she is the wife of the third grade, in the final analysis, she is just a slave of the nobles, and she pays attention to some of the queen mothers and is happy to see it.
But I can see the fourteenth elder brother like this. I want to go to Fu Yourong and ask. I remembered that the elder brothers and the former eunuchs were not very good at talking recently. Fourteenth elder brother looks like this. Fu Yourong is afraid that he has also suffered a lot of anger. She couldn't go for a thorn.
Qi Su Niang only dared to stay away when she thought about it like this. I want to wait for the fourteenth elder brother to look better before going up to say goodbye.
It's past noon. The queen mother was a little tired, and Qi Su Niang followed Mama Yu to serve the queen mother and settled in the back hall. Concubine De got up and asked the palace concubines in the inner hall to look at the flowers in the lotus pond. so as not to disturb the Queen Mother's rest.
Sitting outside the Lotus Pavilion, the brothers stood up one after another. sent the concubines out. One by one, they also walked to the west garden. The eunuchs and palace maids in the Lotus Pavilion gradually dispersed. The outer hall was empty. Only Concubine De's two biological sons, the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, are still drinking tea.
Qi Su Niang hid by the door of the inner hall. Hear it quietly. Probe to take a look. The fourteenth elder brother threw the empty tea bowl on the desk. Fu Yourong didn't see a shadow either. The fourth elder brother didn't see Qin Quan'er beside him.
She hesitated. looked at the fourteenth elder brother with an irritable face. secretly can't let his brother pour tea for him. I made a cup of hot tea in the pantry. Cautiously walked over. Holding it in both hands. Presented it. "Fourteenth Master."
The fourteenth elder brother glanced at her, stretched out his hand to pick up the tea, and it was not much, there was a crisp sound again, the tea cup smashed on the ground, shattered, and the tea flowed all over the ground.
Qi Su Niang looked at the fourteenth elder brother's hand that was burned a few points red, her face changed slightly, and she knelt on the wetland, and she didn't beg for mercy, she lowered her head and didn't say a word.
The fourteenth elder brother didn't make a sound for a long time, and there was only the sound of the fourth elder brother slowly drinking tea in the outer hall.
After a while, Qin Quan'er and Fu Yourong hurriedly walked in, Qin Quan'er said: "Fourth Master, Concubine De Niangniang summoned the fourth master and ten-" His eyes glanced at Qi Su Niang, who was kneeling on the ground, and the words in his mouth suddenly stopped, and Fu Yourong hurriedly picked it up, "Concubine De Niangniang asked the two masters to come over and speak." ”
The fourth elder brother put down the teacup, stood up, and slowly walked to the door, pausing.
The fourteenth elder brother, who had not moved, finally stood up, did not look down at Qi Su Niang, and walked straight to the door, "You just kneel here and learn the rules." ”
Although it was early summer, the afternoon was also a little stuffy, the female protagonists went to the Jiying Water Pavilion by the lake, and the male protagonists went to Feicui Building, listening to the play while taking advantage of the cold.
The upstairs of the theater is still singing the old drama "The Palace of Eternal Life" that Kangxi likes to listen to, because it is a lively scene of the confrontation between the two armies, and the sound in the private rooms on the Feicui upstairs should be louder. Li Quan'er walked into the private room, looked at the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother who were laughing, and then looked at the dark face of the fourteenth elder brother, stepped forward lightly, and said a few words in the ear of the eighth elder brother.
The eighth elder brother glanced at the fourteenth elder brother, "How long have you been kneeling?" ”
"It's been more than half an hour since noon."
"It's hard for him to be ruthless, this time the lesson is understood, and she can be promoted by her temperament in the future, and you don't have to worry that she won't take the master in her eyes in the future."
While he was talking, the fourteenth elder brother picked up the wine glass and the tenth elder brother quarreled, and the two laughed and drank together. After drinking seven or eight cups, the fourteenth elder brother began to slap the table and scold, Fu Yourong didn't say a word, and stood aside with a smiling face.
"Old Fourteen, my brother doesn't look at you very well? Got into trouble today? Brother Ten laughed, "Supposedly, your slave should also teach." ”
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "She's too unremarkable." She is not a slave under my door, and I turned a blind eye to the last time I went back to Jiangnan. Although Delong did a good job, he didn't say hello to you, the master. I thought it was the third child who hated the big stumbling block that the prince gave him, and secretly looked for someone's hand, but I didn't expect it to be her. Seeing that she is getting bolder and bolder, she can't let her patronize herself and know how to look at her master's eyes. ”
The fourteenth elder brother drank the wine one after another, and the eighth elder brother smiled: "You are worried that she has the same temperament as you, eat."
Hard? If you can get her used to it, you have to be able to teach her back, these? Today has passed, tomorrow you will reward her more, if she dares to commit another offense, you will teach her another lesson, and you will always be able to teach her the rules. Let her understand what a master is and what a slave is. If she understood, there would be many benefits in the future. ”
It was getting late, and the masters had already dispersed. Although the concubine in Changchun Palace was a little tired, she was very energetic, and she was obviously happy in her heart, and the elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother naturally had to accompany the concubine to talk.
Seeing that the time was not early, and he couldn't leave his son in the palace any longer, the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother retreated.
Qin Quan'er held his breath and carried the lantern, watching the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother walking side by side on the palace road, and the people occasionally laughed, and the rest was silent.
Fu Yourong didn't squint, tiptoe with a lantern to light the way, and he really landed silently.
Qin Quan'er secretly thought about it: Only to do their part, they are all top children, as long as Miss Qi learns more from Fu Yourong, she can't be guilty of stabbing her for the fourth master.
After a while, the two masters went out of the fourth elder brother of Dagong Road, and they had no intention of turning back to the West Garden.
Qin Quan'er couldn't help it: secretly snorted her tongue, this time she really wanted to show her some color. However, Miss Qi knelt down for one night today, and if she was enough of the sin, the fourteenth master of Ming'er would have to reward her tenfold and hundredfold, so that she could get enough dignity, isn't this how the slave is taught?
Not to mention that the prince often whips the ministers and guards, it is the eighth master, who provokes him to turn his face as usual. Our fourth master can't wipe his face, in the end, he is not a person under his door, because of his past feelings, he can only endure it when he is idle. Then again, if it was really someone from the fourth master's family, Miss Qi would have been taught a lesson for a long time.
It's a shame that the fourteenth master is also a nobody, and he likes to play arrogant, so that the emperor and the fourth master hate it so much, this master and slave were originally people on the road, no wonder she has been taken care of for more than ten years, and she will continue to take care of her in the future......
The long night passed in a blink of an eye, the sun rose, and the city of Beijing dawned.
A five-hundred-mile expedited horse galloped into the city and sent the Governor of Shaanxi into the palace.
Cui Hao entered Beijing from Chaoyang Gate, turned over and dismounted in front of the Eight Princes' Mansion, respectfully handed over the post at the side door, and waited for half an hour before entering the mansion.
He was waiting in the outer hall, waiting for the master to summon him, and after a while, he heard the sound of footsteps, and the eighth elder brother stepped on the stone steps of the inner hall, and as he walked, he asked Li Quan'er behind him, "How is it?" ”
Cui Hao listened carefully, and Li Quan'er smiled bitterly, "On the third watch, let Fu Yourong secretly enter the palace and go to the Lotus Pavilion in the West Garden. ”
"Still kneeling?"
"Kneeling honestly, it was Fu Yourong who carried him back to Cining Palace."
The eighth elder brother had already passed the outer hall, and Cui Hao stepped forward to call a thousand, "The slave asks for peace for the eighth master." ”
Eighth Elder Brother smiled slightly, "I rushed from Zhili overnight to have no breakfast, Li Quan'er served dinner to Master Cui." ”
Cui Hao glanced at the eighth elder brother and knew that he had used it, so he didn't dare to let the master wait, so he hurriedly said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Eighth elder brother waved his hand, and Li Quan'er had already asked the girl to put the breakfast in the outer hall. The eighth elder brother went to the inner hall and sat down.
Cui Hao didn't dare to sit, standing at the table drinking milk tea, and listened to the eighth elder brother say slowly: "It is said that she is not a domestic slave in the fourteenth brother's mansion, and she is also a three-grade edict waiting for others on weekdays, and she is a woman, such a crime is enough for her to bear, and the trouble is that this time it is in vain." ”
"The slave looked, a person like Miss Qi is needless to say loyal to the Fourteenth Master. It's just that she has figured out the temper of the fourteenth master, and she is not a woman in the fourteenth master's house, and the fourteenth master is pulling her face again, and Miss Qi is still very stable in her heart, and she is not afraid of provoking the fourteenth master. Li Quan'er looked at the eighth elder brother's face, "Miss Qi is afraid of the eighth master......"
Cui Hao's heart trembled.
The eighth elder brother laughed, "She's a thief."
Her temperament, the more afraid she is, the farther away, on weekdays, she dares to approach Yuqing Palace? Now that the third child is blowing the wind, she pulled the sails and waited for the wind to rise up so that she could sail. ”
Li Quan'er hesitated: "The slave thinks that the emperor and the queen mother are ......"
"You think she doesn't understand? She just got it all too well. Why did the emperor summon her into the palace and let the queen mother give her extra dignity? It's just a reminder to the prince, the emperor lost Zhao Shixian, and Qi Shiwu of the military department moved a little more, and the Beijing Eight Banners and the Green Camp River Marker all started. At this time, we are about to stop the meeting, so that the emperor and the prince can look at each other, for fear that she will cause trouble......" The eighth elder brother put down the milk tea, picked up the folding fan on the table, and waved it open.
Li Quan'er glanced at the eighth elder brother and said carefully: "Miss Qi is the proud slave in front of the fourteenth master, I'm afraid it's not good for the master to ask too much." ”
"Fourteenth brother, there are twenty-two this year-" Eighth Elder Brother smiled slightly, shaking the white gauze folding fan in his hand, "It's just that, she can't make big waves." ”
The breeze blew with the swaying of the white gauze folding fan, and the wind outside the window seemed to be carried up. Cui Hao looked up, and gradually, gradually, the wind became stronger.
The big locust tree in Cining Palace was gently swayed by the wind, and the branches hit the pane, Qi Su Niang sat in the room, flipped and turned the "Mei's Arithmetic Series" again and again, sighed, walked to the cabinet, opened the cabinet door, put the book in, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, "Mrs. Chen." ”
Qi Su Niang heard the strange voice, and couldn't help but feel strange in her heart, when she opened the door, she saw that it was a little eunuch with a raw face, she looked at him while bewildering: "Father-in-law......"
The little eunuch took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Chen, this is a letter that Lord Chen entrusted someone to bring back." ”
Qi Su Niang was stunned, and was happy, the source of the Yellow River on the road is difficult, after entering Tibet, the news was cut off, and the letter was sent at this time, most of which was going to be out of Tibet. Qi Su Niang accepted the letter with joy, sent the reward money, and thought about it slightly, "I'm tired of my father-in-law, I don't know my father-in-law-"
The little eunuch thanked the reward, "The letter was sent to Master Li on the Coopers Road, and Uncle Liu in the Chafu asked the servants to present it to his wife." Then he turned and went.
When Qi Su Niang heard this, she looked at the handwriting again, thinking that Li Mingzhi was not only a substitute, but most of them also had correspondence with Chen Yan, so she also relaxed and closed the door to open the letter. The letter is only one page, a few words, but in Qi Su Niang's eyes, she cried with joy.
She looked at the lines over and over again, "...... I already know the situation in Beijing...... I will be rewarded when I return...... Wait for my return......" suddenly stood up and closed the door of the cabinet where the "Mei's Arithmetic Series" was placed.
