Tong Ying said to Shuning sincerely: "These things are all because of me, and you have been wronged, I'm sorry." ”

Shuning shook her head: "It's nothing, since we are husband and wife, we should bear all the wind and rain together." But there must be a reason for this, right? Is it because of the position of the son? But you don't mean that, do you? Besides, if it's really for the position of the son, shouldn't your sister-in-law win you over? ”

Tongying was a little embarrassed: "Actually...... It's because I've done something wrong...... The sister-in-law was not like this originally, and she is losing her temper now, just because of the eldest brother...... Because of other things, I am not happy, just borrow us to vent my anger, please bear with me a little, we will rarely see her in the future. ”

Shuning paused, thinking about what she had seen and heard recently, she understood a little, probably because it was probably related to the fact that after Ilgen Jue Luo was pregnant, she was very favored by Yarjiang, but even so, the Guerjia clan should not use her husband's younger brother and sister-in-law as a punching bag, right? She said, "You just said it's because of your mistakes in the past, what is it?" You let me bear with it, it's okay, but let me know the whole story, is there anything else between us that needs to be hidden? ”

Tongying thought for a moment and sighed, "Okay, I'll tell you, but you must not be angry with me." Shuning didn't understand a little, but she still responded. Tong Ying sat on the Luohan bed with her arms, comfortably leaning on a few soft cushions, and slowly told the past:

"In the past, when my sister-in-law first got married, she treated me well, and she would often ask about my daily life and food. It's just that she likes to call her sisters as guests and let me accompany her, firstly, to find a good home for her sisters, and secondly, to win me over. I guessed her intentions, although she could hide and hide, but she was still very respectful, so although she complained, she was not bad to me. ”

"So what happened after that? Will she become what she is now? Shuning asked.

Tongying smiled. But suddenly opened another topic: "When I first came to the capital, I often spent time with your brother and other friends, but then your brother went to Guangzhou, several elder brothers were busy with homework, and friends had their own things to do, so when I was bored, I often ran around." At that time, he was bold and only brought Uncle Ji with him. He dared to teach and break through, and he also saw many things. Once, I rescued a little orphan girl, her parents were gone, and she was helpless in Beijing, and I saw that she was pitiful and knew the roots, so I took her back to the palace to be a little girl. You also know that I never let them get close to the maid rings arranged for me in the house, and I let them do all the work of serving. But after all, men are not more careful than their daughters, and I saw that Xiaolian was quite clever. So he sent her to do some fine work, so that she could settle down in the palace. ”

Shuning originally heard it a little inexplicable, but after hearing it, she felt a little strange: "That Xiaolian, how old is you?" Tong Ying coughed twice: "It's a year or two older than you, I don't know." "Oh?" Shuning raised her eyebrows, "You said she was a little orphan girl, I thought she was less than ten years old." Why are you doing so old-fashioned? ”

Tong Ying laughed dryly, hugged Shuning firmly with her arms, and said, "Good madam, listen to me, you promised not to be angry." Shuning Mimi's eyes: "Okay, you can continue." ”

Tongying shuddered and continued: "Xiaolian is doing a good job in the house. Later, Amma asked me to go back to Fengtian with him, but I only took Uncle Ji with me, and left her and Tianyang in the mansion. Then there was Mongolia, and then there was Geldan, and it was two years before I came back, and that's when I found out...... Xiaolian has grown up. It's beautiful. Heart-to-heart ...... It's also bigger......"

Shuning understood: "Presumably she has taken a fancy to you and wants to wait in your house for a long time." "No wonder I kept pushing and refusing to say anything. But what does this have to do with Gualga?

Tong Ying smiled bitterly: "She is already like the simple little girl at the beginning, her words and actions, and her dress are no different from the maids in the palace." I was physically and mentally exhausted, I just wanted to rest, I didn't think much about it, and after a few months, I felt that something was wrong. She actually thought that I would definitely take her into the house, and she had some bad habits, and I was very angry, afraid that if she stayed in the palace, she would be spoiled by other people, so I arranged a place for her to go. It's an embroidery workshop, you've probably heard of it, right? ”

Shu Ning nodded, the clothes that the Nala clan had bought for her and Wan Ning in the draft had been handed over to this kind of embroidery workshop, and she had seen people from the embroidery workshop a few times. Nowadays, there are more than a dozen large and small embroidery workshops in Beijing, and the show workers are all daughters of poor families, and they receive monthly wages. I heard that the most famous family, a second-class embroiderer earns enough to feed a family of eight in a month.

Tong Ying said: "The one I am looking for, the owner is an old palace maid, conduct, temper and craftsmanship are excellent, and is very good at regulating people, the embroidery female workers under his hand are more outstanding than others regardless of their manners and skills, many rich families around the capital are willing to marry such a girl as a daughter-in-law, and even a rich businessman's family sent their daughters to her to do embroidery, only two or three years, and then they fell out like a lady." When I first met Xiaolian, she said that she wanted to enter this kind of embroidery workshop, although her skills were not good, but the aunt looked at me and promised to let Xiaolian do some chores, learn the craft, and find a good family for her in two years. ”

Shuning sighed, probably guessing what happened later: "That Xiaolian refuses, right?" Although you think about her everywhere, let her support herself, have a salary to receive, and can learn things, and you will not have to worry about marriage in the future. But you forget, she has lived in the palace for so long, and her thoughts have long been different. Although you are just a maid, you have always been very generous to the people around you, and she must also be well-dressed. In addition, you are young, noble, good-looking, gentle and kind, you have never used Yahuan, but you look at her differently, she will inevitably have thoughts in her heart. is used to living a good life, and thinks that she will definitely get ahead, so ask her to show up again to be an embroiderer, how can she be willing? ”

Tong Ying touched her face: "Sure enough, Madame also thinks I am handsome and extraordinary." Shuning almost choked on saliva, and beat him: "I'm talking about serious things!" What are you talking about?! Tong Ying chuckled a few times, smiled, and said: "The thoughts of the daughter's family can really be known by the daughter's family." I was full of hope that she would definitely agree, but when I asked her, she just kept silent, and then when I asked in a hurry, she nodded. I had her garments and silver counted. After a few days, everything was ready, but suddenly she was nowhere to be seen. When I found her, I actually ...... It was actually in my eldest brother's bed. ”

Shuning was stunned, it turned out that this was the reason why the Guerjia clan was angry......

Tong Ying sighed: "At that time, my sister-in-law was pregnant for nine months, and the doctor and Wen Po both concluded that it would take at least more than ten days to give birth, but after she knew about it, she was angry and gave birth that night." Although the mother and son were safe, she was still angry. Originally, she always thought that Xiaolian would be my housemate, but she didn't expect to hook up with her eldest brother. I thought I was behind it. In order to appease her, the eldest brother only said that he was drunk and didn't know it, so I had to admit the crime. At that time, I was very angry, so I threw the burden and silver I had prepared for Xiaolian to her and let her go out of the house. In those days, the house was messy, and I went to your house to live in the Fangshan Courtyard for two days, do you remember? ”

Shuning recalled for a moment and remembered: "What did you say at that time that the lotus flower was a good flower, and there was no need to be angry with it for people, and you gave me a painting." The painting is from Guangzhou, and there is a joke in the painting, I still remember that you punished Tianyang to go to the laundry and washed it for a long time. Right? ”

Tongying smiled and nodded: "Tianyang intercedes for Xiaolian, I'm angry, just ...... When I saw the lotus, I remembered the girl. If she doesn't want to, just tell me Iron Demon Wolf 5200, will I still force her? If you want to stay and live a good life, you can also tell me, but she took advantage of my sister-in-law's pregnancy and went behind my back to calculate my eldest brother, which is too hateful. Knowing this, she shouldn't have been allowed to stay in the house in the first place. I didn't think about it. ”

Shuning stroked his back and persuaded softly: "Actually, you already thought very well at the time, and it was not your fault that others didn't know what to do." Tong Ying closed her eyes slightly. Enjoying the comfort on his back, he said softly: "I've been sulking for a few days, and I'll be fine after that." The funny thing is that when I returned to the palace, I asked Tianyang to find Xiaolian, but she had already become my eldest brother's concubine and entered the house. ”

Shu Ning's men were beaten. continued to caress again, thinking back to the concubines of Yaerjiang Adi he had seen, and guessing which one was the little lotus: "That day...... The sister-in-law was touching the cards in the Jifujin house, and a young woman brought her a cloak, some eyes, but it was a woman dressed up, and she didn't look like a servant. Could it be her? ”

Tong Ying said: "Among the eldest brother's concubines, she is the only one who does not leave the house, and she is not allowed to meet people easily." You think it's eye-catching, that's it. Although she looks good, she is not stunning, and the means of entering the door at the beginning are not glorious, so the eldest brother left her aside as soon as the freshness passed. My sister-in-law holds a grudge and treats her as a maid, and I don't care too much. ”

Shuning sighed secretly. No wonder Guerjia was angry, he originally thought that he was a concubine of his uncle, but he actually became his husband's concubine, and when he was about to give birth, this blow was not small. She couldn't help but feel a lot less bad for the Guerjia clan, in the end, the other party was just a poor woman who had to endure her husband's betrayal.

Seeing her expression, Tong Ying held her hand and said, "You don't have to think too much, in fact, the sister-in-law is vicious on her face, but she is not bad in her heart." The concubines on her side, although they will be beaten and scolded from time to time, they will never be excessive, and they have never died. Although I regret that Xiaolian doesn't know self-love and suffers by herself, I have never worried that she will die. ”

I see. Shu Ning's disgust for the Guerjia clan in her heart was two points less, and if she encountered those unpleasant things in the future, she would endure it. However, she soon found a question: "According to what you say, my sister-in-law should hate you very much, why did I hear that she was a matchmaker for you again?" ”

Tong Ying smiled bitterly: "What should you think of as a good thing?" In the past, she was connecting her sisters, but she just paid it back. Those girls are annoying at best, but they are not bad. But this time, the cousin she introduced had a very bad temperament, and she didn't even pay attention to her brother at home. is also because the reputation is not very good, after the previous draft was recorded, there has been no follow-up, and the age is not young. My sister-in-law came for the sake of my cousin, and secondly, she wanted me to marry her because she wanted to see my jokes. Fortunately, I greeted the emperor in advance, otherwise it would have been miserable. Because of this, my sister-in-law lost face in front of her mother's relatives and has been complaining about me for a long time. ”

Shuning was a little angry when she heard this, even if she hated Tongying again, this kind of direct interference with the lifelong happiness of others was too much. She decided she still wanted to hate Gualga. Not only that, but she also hated Yarjiang'a, it was obvious that he was lustful, and he actually asked his younger brother to carry the black pot for him, which was too irresponsible.

However, Tong Ying helped his brother speak: "Although the eldest brother has some shortcomings in women, he never messes around outside, which is already good." He still has true feelings for his sister-in-law, and the young husband and wife, in the first few years in Beijing, supported each other and shared weal and woe...... They also had a happy life, but then they ......"

Seeing his gloomy expression, Shuning opened the topic and said, "What about you?" You'll ...... later Will it be like your eldest brother, sitting on one and taking one on the right, which makes me angry? Tong Ying took her hand and pressed it to her left chest: "I won't, I vowed to marry only one person, you can rest assured." What's good about having three wives and four concubines? My mother is in pain for this. The eldest brother and sister-in-law love husband and wife, and it has become what it is today...... I only want to be monogamous and live a stable life, so that I will not ask for trouble. If I really change my mind in the future, I will do it to you. Shu Ning felt the beating heart under her hands, and said lightly: "You have to remember today's words." Tong Ying hugged her into her arms, and the two sat quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but there was some noise outside the door. Tong Ying let go of Shuning and asked who it was. Father-in-law Luo walked in lightly and said, "Back to Lord Bei, it was Fujin who asked someone to send a letter, saying that Mrs. would go to the palace tomorrow to watch a play." She invited people from the celebration class. ”

Shuning frowned, why is it listening to a drama again? Ji Fujin doesn't like soft literary dramas, and he plays in the Heavenly Palace and the like, which is noisy and noisy. Listening to it once is fresh, and if you listen to it more often, your ears will suffer too much.

Tong Ying saw her look, so she said: "Tell the visitor, just say that I said it, the Fujin people take my daughter-in-law to play every day, although it is a good intention, but we are still newly married, so you can also leave me some time." ”

Shuning couldn't help laughing, but Father-in-law Luo still had the same wooden face, answered the dry "whoosh", and went out.

Looking at the fading figure of Father-in-law Luo, she couldn't help but think thoughtfully: "I understand a little." After Fujin, they always asked me to accompany me, and they didn't say anything, but they actually did it for others to see. They know that your sister-in-law is dislike you, and they know that you have always respected your brother and sister-in-law, so they always want me to be with them. When the eldest brother and sister-in-law see it, they will mistakenly think that we are biased towards the side of Jifujin, and your brothers will be even more estranged. As long as you two can't twist together, they'll be able to figure it out. ”

Tong Ying sighed: "Is the position of the son of the world really so good? They are all calculating, my eldest brother and I are no longer as close as when I was a child, and if this continues, he will sooner or later equate me with the other brothers. When E-Niang learned about it in the spirit of heaven, she would definitely cry out again with sadness. ”

Shuning asked: "Why haven't you been crowned the prince?" Since you don't have that mind, why don't you go and ask the emperor? If you set up a son early, your eldest brother won't be like this. ”

"How can it be so easy?" Tong Ying said: "This kind of thing always has to be done by Amma." Without a father still alive, I crossed him as a son to ask the emperor to crown my brother as the son of the world. I wondered, but if Amma refused, what could I do? ”

"Then why does the prince refuse?" Shuning asked, "Could it be ...... It's because ...... Fujin? ”

"Of course they helped." Tong Ying said lightly: "But some of the eldest brother's practices are not very good." He often asserts his own identity, has little respect for several Fujin, and is not very friendly to his younger siblings. When Amma saw it, he inevitably had some scruples in his heart. And...... Amma has been separated from her eldest brother for many years, so she naturally prefers her younger sons. He paused, and sighed, "Worse still, there are many of Amma's men who admire me; On my mother's side, although my maternal grandparents died, my two uncles were with me. Because of this, my eldest brother was even more suspicious of me. I'm caught in the middle, and it's really hard to be a human being. ”

Shuning knew that his two uncles were military attachés, and their grades were not low, and one was in Hunan and the other was in Guizhou, but the family still had power. She thought carefully for a long time and said, "If you really don't want to be the son of the world, you must always take a stand." Your eldest brother is the eldest son, and he has a military position early, so it can be said that he is a natural candidate for the son. But if it drags on, your younger brothers have grown up, and the ownership of the position of the son of this world will be unclear. According to me, since your brother is suspicious, if you can persuade the prince to write to ask your eldest brother to be the prince, your eldest brother will definitely understand that he misunderstood you in the past. Your brothers will be reconciled. Otherwise, if this continues, your sister-in-law will be at odds with us again, and your brothers will ...... You need to make a decision right now. ”

Tong Ying was silent and nodded slowly: "Indeed, it's time to make a decision." ”
