Yarjianga reluctantly smiled: "It's not a big deal, she's just those careful thoughts." Tongying refused to let it go: "Big brother, I am on an errand in front of the palace every day, how much do I know about the affairs of the court, don't hide it from me, tell me quickly, won't I be your brother when I go out of the palace?" ”

These words were a little heavy, Yarjianga looked at Shuning with some embarrassment, Shuning knew that they had something serious to talk about, according to this eldest brother's temper, he would not say it in front of her, so he said to Tongying: "You talk about it first, I'll take a look at the child and the mother." Then he saluted Yarjana and withdrew. If she wanted to know, she would have asked Tong Ying what it was.

After the tea came up, Yarjianga retreated left and right, closed the door left and right, and then said the matter: "Actually, it's really not a big deal, it's just that if something happened to prolong life, he was demoted to Baylor and Yuan Duan was cut off." Your sister-in-law, whose cousin surnamed Shu Shu Jueluo, married Yuan Duan, and now she is unlucky, and your sister-in-law wants me to plead with me, so that I can leave an official title, even if it is General Feng'en. ”

Tong Ying's expression did not ease at all when she heard this: "Big brother, if it is something else, I won't say anything, but you'd better not interfere in this matter." Not to mention that they have always acted very unusually, but this time they were also caught. Even if it's really excusable, we can't be stirred in. Now you and I see the situation in the court, this is not a joke. Yuan Duan, they are not all the way with us, sister-in-law doesn't understand this, but you can't be confused. ”

Yarjan said: "I don't know yet? I also rejected it just now. It's just that your sister-in-law is only thinking of me now deliberately raising her face and losing her face. I can't be cruel to her, she still has a seven-month-old belly. ”

Tongying thought for a while and asked, "Sister-in-law...... Do you still enter the palace to say goodbye now? "Yes, I go to the ...... on time every month," Yarjiang looked at his younger brother, "You mean......" Tongying nodded: "If you don't want to say it, maybe she will go to the palace to ask for grace." Last time, her sister-in-law had an awkward falling out with her husband. Didn't she just go into the palace? ”

Yarjiang put a few knots between his eyebrows: "What should I do then?" Although the harem does not interfere in politics, it is ...... Wouldn't it be troublesome if the emperor thought that I had instructed it? But she can't be stopped from going, and it is already a common practice to enter the palace twice a month to ask for peace, even if I don't let the palace, I will beat someone to ask. ”

Tongying lowered her head and thought silently for a while. When Yarjianga saw it, he urged him: "If you have an idea, quickly say what are you afraid of in front of your eldest brother?" Tongying smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will hate me even more after I say it." Look at the Chinese network all the way" paused. He said: "Actually, it's not that you can't stop my sister-in-law's first child, there are some risks when she gives birth, and she must be irritable recently, in order to make this production go smoothly, it is best to let her calm down and raise the fetus." Don't go out of the house again. This is also for the sake of the heirs, and the palace should be able to understand it if it knows, right? After speaking, he smiled bitterly again.

Yarjiang's eyes lit up: "Hey." How did I not think of that? That's right! Not only can she no longer be allowed to leave the house at will, but even the people who come to visit her must be as rare as possible, lest she hear any news that upsets her. I told the steward to arrange for a few more people to keep watch over her in case anything goes wrong. He patted Tong Yingdi vigorously on the shoulder: "Good brother, I know you always have good ideas." ”

Seeing that Tongying was still smiling bitterly, he put away the smile on his face when he saw it, and slowly persuaded: "Don't worry about your sister-in-law." I'm not going to tell her it was your idea. She just doesn't know the risks involved, and always wants to pull more benefits for her mother's family. Don't be like her. ”

Tongying nodded lightly, thought about it, and said, "Big brother, don't be too fussy about me." Although we are closer to the prince's side. But don't stick it too tightly. The emperor ...... to the crown prince Naturally, it's good, but if the prince does something out of the ordinary. Naturally, he will not suffer, but unfortunately, he is the person next to him. Our family is the king of iron hats, it is already unspeakably expensive, we just need to do things honestly, and this throne is secure. But what if something goes wrong...... Big brother, don't forget, second uncle, don't forget how the prince of our family came to be. ”

Gradually lowered his arms and stood without speaking. Tongying continued: "It's not the first time I've said this, eldest brother, that you and your father probably don't listen to it. But you're my big brother, and I always want you to be safe. ”

After a while, Yarjianga took a deep breath and said, "Second brother, if you had said this to me in the past, I probably wouldn't have listened to it, but now...... Don't worry, I know in my heart that you're doing it for my good. ”

Tong Ying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "That's the best." By the way, I haven't seen my little nephew yet, so take me to see it. Yarjianga changed his smile and said: "I almost forgot, you don't know that this kid is funny, he looks like me......"

When Tong Ying and Shu Ning got back into their carriage and walked in the direction of Beizi Mansion, Shu Ning asked about what he and Ya Jiang'a said, but Tong Ying only said lightly: ":// It's not a big deal." ”

Shu Ning listened to it, but she was a little suspicious, is it really that simple? But seeing that Tongying didn't want to talk about it anymore, she didn't ask any more.

Back in the house, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and after eating, the couple was gossiping in the house, and Manager Yin came to report: "Madame's previous instructions for Yinlou have been delivered, do you want to check it?" Shuning hurriedly asked him to send it over.

Tong Ying didn't know what it was, and when Manager Yin sent the things, he realized that there were more than a dozen boxes of silverware, including thirty or forty silver locks, a hundred silver bills, silver collars, silver bracelets, silver hat ornaments, and even a few hood buckles. It is very exquisite, and many of them are engraved with auspicious words on the top.

He looked surprised: "What are you doing when you ask people to beat so much?" Do you want to give it to your little nephew? But didn't you send it today? Shu Ning picked up the two silver locks and looked at them carefully, and said with a smile: "There are also the gifts of washing the third and the full moon." Besides, the sister-in-law's child also has to be prepared. Previously, when I was preparing for the first birthday ceremony of the eldest brother of Yongwangfu, I only now, this kind of ceremony is the most cumbersome on weekdays, not to mention that it is the eldest brother of Qibeile in a few days, and Mrs. Li of Yongwangfu heard that she has a body again, and Wufujin in Hengwangfu is also going to give birth, and my cousin has a child there. The year is over. The major princely palaces also do not know how many children are born, full moon, first birthday or birthday. This kind of ritual does not need to be too heavy, but it is also troublesome. So I simply asked someone to hit so many pieces of silverware at once, and when I met the day, I could send it out directly, wouldn't it be cheap? ”

Tong Ying blinked a little sluggishly: "It turns out ...... There are so many gifts to give...... It used to be prepared for me by the butler. Speaking of which, the thirteenth brother who succeeded Fu Jinsheng seems to have just had a birthday a few days ago...... "Shu Ning said funny: "Manager Yin has already reminded me. The things have been sent to Mukden, and I know these things in my heart, so you don't have to worry. ”

Tong Ying sighed, shook his wife's hand, and said, "Madam." So you're working so hard...... In the future, I'll leave these things to Mr. Yin, you are too tired to worry about these every day. ”

Shuning was in a good mood when she heard this: "Got it." I'm just asking about the etiquette of ordinary people. I've left it all to the stewards. This time, it was also specially explained for the sake of spending less money. "I have examined the silverware and handed it over to the steward to pay the money. She asked Frangipani to put things away, and then asked Holly how many puppets and children's clothes, shoes and socks they had made recently. Knowing the number, let them pick out some good ones and prepare them.

Tong Ying watched Shuning take care of these chores, and when the others left, she went over to pinch her shoulder and beat her back. Shuning was startled at first, and then smiled when he realized his intentions.

The second son of Yarjiang Ah washed the third day, and Shuning passed through the palace. Some surprises, the Guerjia clan did not participate in the ceremony, and the people in the palace only said that the prince Fujin accidentally moved the fetus, although it was not a big problem, but it needed to be recuperated. The female guests who came to the land saw that the people on Ilgenjue's side of the Luo clan did not show any abnormality, and the other concubines did not show any abnormality. Even the resentful Xiaolian, including the resentful Xiaolian, gathered around the newborn and said auspicious words. He didn't say anything. Seeing this, Shuning buried her doubts in her heart, only thinking that the Guerjia clan was unhappy, so she refused to attend.

But the Guerjia clan seems to be really recuperating, and he didn't even participate in Prince Kang's 100-day festival.

On the 100th day, Shuning came to Prince Kang's mansion alone. Tongying also has to work as an errand in the palace.

The ceremony was presided over by Prince Kang's son, Fujin, who received the male guests, but it was Baltu and another brother who received the male guests. The son Tsubaki is said to have been saddened by the death of his father and insisted on performing his filial piety in front of the spiritual throne, but he fell ill from exhaustion and had not been concerned about the affairs of the house for a long time. The eldest son of a prince and a prince of the county was ordered by his father to visit the inner court to confirm the news.

And Prince Kang Fujin was also bedridden. Zhuang Wang Fujin and several other old ladies heard some rumors out of nowhere and wanted to ask what was going on. Seeing Lao Fujin's food and clothing, and knowing that she had not suffered any grievances in this regard, he let go of his snacks a little. Baltu's mother and another Shu Fujin, who gave birth to a daughter, came forward to receive the ladies of the clan, and they were very cautious in their conversations, saying that the prince Fujin acted well and did not act unfilial, and there were rumors everywhere outside.

Still, there were doubts in the hearts of the people. There were so many female relatives of Prince Kang's mansion gathered in the house, but the prince Fu Jin sat alone, raised his head proudly, and the two concubines who were waiting behind him were very pale, and they didn't dare to come out with their heads down. The others were far away, and they occasionally glanced at them, with a hint of fear or anger.

Shu Ning looked at it from a distance, and only felt that the eyes of the prince Fujin were full of ridicule, as if he didn't pay attention to the ladies of the entire clan. She really didn't understand what this prince Fujin was thinking.

However, she didn't have time to take care of other people's affairs, so she quietly stuffed a letter into Susu's hand and found an opportunity to retreat. When leaving, I faintly heard Prince Zhuang Fujin say that he would come to visit Lao Fujin again.

When she re-boarded the carriage and was about to return to Beizi Mansion, she was stopped. It turned out that he had returned to Beijing and had just finished paying homage to Prince Kang, and invited her back to the Baron's Mansion to discuss something.

As soon as he entered the Rongqing Hall of the Baron's Palace, he saw his aunt Tatara wiping tears in front of Nala. He was very grateful to his nieces and nephews for their help to his daughter and son-in-law, and said that he would return the borrowed money as soon as possible. Li said: "It's important that they settle down first. My aunt met her eldest cousin today, do you know how she is prepared? ”

He Tara hurriedly said: "The house has been bought, and it is called the West Wall Crack Hutong Place on the shore of Shichahai." The courtyard of Sijin has already sent more than a dozen people over to prepare. For now, we are just waiting for the official separation. I heard that although Shizi is sick, he is still sober, and he has already confessed that he will give a big grange to Bei Ziye, which is the old side, and there is some trouble on the side of Fujin. ”

Shuning persuaded: "It should be smooth, the court has always been the most filial piety, and my cousin-in-law wants to be filial to his biological mother, and it is always difficult for others to stop him." In the past, it was not easy for relatives to have strict rules in the palace. It's a good thing that my cousin can move out, and it will be more convenient for my aunt and us to see her in the future. Everything will be fine. ”

He Tara wiped away his tears again: "That's right. This time, I had to wait until my grandson was full moon. Hitara and Jinjin hurriedly comforted her.

The matter of moving out of Prince Kang's mansion went quite smoothly. The prince finally agreed to the request to let the old side Fujin live with his son, and in addition to the original promise, the grange also gave another Shandong field and a few thousand taels of silver. When the new house was almost cleaned up, Su Xu left to move in, and almost on the same day, he Tara moved in to take care of his daughter.

Tongying went to the canal with the emperor to inspect the canal, and Shuning was at home alone, and after finishing the housework, she was a little dull, so she practiced calligraphy. Suddenly, someone from her mother's family reported that Tong had returned to Beijing. She was overjoyed and hurriedly packed her things and went back to her parents' house.

When the Tong family came back, there was a big matter to discuss with the family, not only did she come back, but even Xiao Liu, who had just lived in Fangshan for two days, also rushed back.

The reason is that Zhenzhen received a letter from Guangzhou saying that her father Wu Dan would soon leave Guangzhou, and it was not clear where he would be transferred to the general's post, but Mrs. Wen had already decided to take over the business of cyclamen.

This is a considerable turning point for Zhang Bao's family.

Tong, Xiao Liu, Zhenzhen, and Shuning sat around the room discussing how their family should deal with it.
