Shuning felt that something was not good, although this was not the kind of place where people came and went on Zhengyangmen Street, but because it was not far from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there were still many people passing by, and most of them were from these three yamen.

After she married Tongying, she also knew a little about the people in his family, and this Azalan had always been a little gloomy and did not like to associate with her two brothers. He was okay elsewhere, but he was a little indulgent in women, but Prince Jian indulged him very much at this point, and as a result, he had to be unruly to Yaerjiang's side of Yarjiang, and after being scolded by the eldest brother, he became more and more rebellious. Tong Ying is very nerve-wracking about this. However, if he makes something happen in such a sensitive place, it is not a joke to be known by the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Thinking of this, Shuning hurriedly said to the family: "Since you know him, go and persuade him not to let him cause any trouble." Near here is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in case the imperial history is sued, it will be bad. ”

The family also knew that it was very difficult to take the order and left. Shuning asked people to drive the car to the side of the road and wait for the results.

The noise gradually subsided, and it didn't take long for it to disappear, Shu Ning lifted the curtain and took a few looks, as if someone had left in the carriage, and the onlookers dispersed. Azalan and the family walked this way, followed by several retinues, one of whom was a little embarrassed. Shu Ning's heart sank, did she really do it?

"Why is the second sister-in-law stopping me? It's obvious that the girl is unreasonable. Hmph, I don't know the height of the sky, I have to teach her a lesson. Azaran walked over to the car and said fiercely.

Shu Ning persuaded him through the car window and pointed out the fact that this location was close to the Metropolitan Procuratorate before he stopped. She turned to ask what had happened to his entourage, and she felt a little crying and laughing.

It turned out that Azaran was really innocent, he was riding a horse and walking on the road, and two carriages in front of him accidentally collided with one of them, and the grandfather and grandson were sitting. The old man hit his head. The other car was driven by a middle-aged couple, and two young ladies were sitting in the car, and when they saw this, they were going to take the old man to the hospital. The old man pushed the young lady and insisted, and the two sides froze.

Azaran was stopped by them, impatient to take a detour, and told them to go away. As a result, one of the two young ladies jumped out and pointed at his nose and cursed. It's nothing more than that he is ruthless, uncompassionate and so on. Azalan had never encountered such a thing, and he was angry at that time, because he saw that the young lady was good-looking, and he brought a frivolous entourage, and someone helped to coax him. It is estimated that the young lady is not a troublemaker, and the two sides will make trouble, and the other party's coachman will protect his master, and one of his entourage will suffer a little.

If it weren't for the family sent by Shuning to persuade Azaran and remind the other party, the old man's wounds had not yet been bandaged. It's important to send to the hospital, but I'm afraid that both sides will not be so easy to stop.

Shuning held her forehead and had a headache. But I rejoice that things don't involve the law. It's not a big deal, and if Azaran hadn't asked someone to take a two-step detour, there wouldn't have been such a thing, otherwise it would have been better to speak more seriously; That young lady is also an injured person, why did she patronize and quarrel with others before she was rescued? I heard Fang Cai's family say that the two young ladies were dressed as flag people, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and most of them came from other places to participate in the draft. I don't know much about the personnel of Kyori either. It seems that they are still children like Azalaan.

Shuning suddenly thought of something and asked Azala: "Aren't you going to school today?" Why are you out there so early? Azaran was still sulking unwillingly, and when he heard this, he said a little unnaturally: "Mr. is not good." I got out of school early. Shuning raised her eyebrows and looked at him carefully. Seeing that he looked uncomfortable, he said in his heart: "Well, it's not too early now, so let's go back to the palace as soon as possible." I've already mentioned your affairs to the palace today, so don't make any unpleasant fuss about yourself. ”

Azaran coughed lightly, glanced at her, replied haphazardly, and casually arched his hand to beckon his people to leave. It's just that Shuning asked someone to get back on the road, but the subordinate reported that he caught a glimpse from a distance that he did not go in the direction of Prince Jian's mansion, but turned onto another road and walked out of Xuanwu Gate. Shuning sighed and felt once again that she was really thankless.

Passing by Prince Jane's mansion on the way, she made a brief report on the results of today's entry into the palace. Yarjana was very satisfied, and thanked politely again. The Guerjia clan was a little dissatisfied with her vague words in front of Concubine Tong. Shu Ning euphemistically explained the taboo in the palace and said: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor don't like this kind of thing, and I'm afraid that it will affect my sister-in-law's clansmen." As long as the third brother and sister-in-law's sister are really destined, what does it matter if they have been decided in advance? ”

The Guerjia clan also understands it in his heart, but it's just a little bit of a leak. She was so sullen in the yard that she listened to the rumors of the maids, and she became even more angry. Shuning just followed her tone and persuaded her to be more active before giving birth, and she was inexplicably regarded as a confidant. Guerjia even took the opportunity to accuse a certain "fox spirit": "Hooking the prince all day long, provoking the master to hold a banquet for her little cub full moon, it is not much worse than the full moon wine of our Delong back then." Brother and sister, do you say that this concubine can be the same? But my master was stunned by her, and I persuaded him three or four times to treat it as a ......."

Shu Ning suffered a lot of fatigue and bombardment, and finally endured it, and waited until the Guerjia clan was tired of scolding and lay down, and then hurriedly escaped. When she got to the porch, she saw the "Lotus Girl" looking at her with a sad face, and she wanted to speak, but Shuning was in no mood to pay attention to her, so she left in a hurry. Originally, he had planned to visit the Ilgen Jueluo clan and his mother, but now he also dispelled the idea, so as not to provoke the Guerjia clan again. Anyway, Ilgen Jue Luo is still in confinement.

In the evening, she mentioned today's incident to Tongying, and when it came to the Queen Mother, she seemed to have some changes in herself, and Tongying was also very happy. It's just that he was a little dissatisfied with Shuning's words that he wanted to embroider a few more large pieces of embroidery and send them to Cining Palace: "How tired you are, you are busy enough to be a housekeeper and take care of relatives on weekdays, and you also practice calligraphy and needlework every day." Why don't you ask the maids to help you do it? I remember that the work they did before was good, and the embroidery work they sent back to King Cheng's Mansion, King Yong's Mansion and King Heng's Mansion last time was not what they did? In fact, the house should also find some needlework. ”

Shu Ning said: "Finding some needlework people should have already attracted people's attention. However, it is better to do it yourself. It's not that I'm boasting, I've been learning to embroider from famous masters in Guangdong since I was a child, and after a few years in Beijing, I learned this local practice, which is not the same as other people's needlework. In the ring of the ground below. In addition to the craftsmanship of frangipani, there are some things that no one else can imitate. Let them do it, and it is a crime to be shown by others. ”

Tong Ying touched her head and smiled bitterly: "Then there is no way, just do less of other things, so as not to be tired." Shuning smiled: "Don't worry." I wouldn't be too forced. Then she mentioned the incident of meeting Azaran on the road, seeing Tongying frowning, she paused, and pretended to ask casually: "Speaking of which, you and Shige get along well." Why is Azalan so estranged from you? ”

"Don't mention it." Tong Ying smiled bitterly and said a word, froze for a moment, secretly glanced at Shuning, coughed lightly, and thought about it twice. "Actually, it's nothing special. Among the brothers, my eldest brother and I are compatriots and the oldest...... Be closer. Azaran is not a few years younger than us, and he has grown up together. But after all, it's not the same mother...... At that time, Guo Fujin was very fond of me, my mother was sick, and she was very sad since she was pregnant. I'm also sorry that my eldest brother sometimes bullies Azalaan. This one...... Children naturally hold grudges......"

Tongying was stunned, but Shuning also imagined it, sighed and didn't say anything. If it was her. I guess I don't have a good impression of the child born to a woman who took away my father's land, right? Her feelings for her father's younger brother who remarried before the time crossing are very complicated.

According to what Ki Young said. This little prince is still favored by his father, Prince Jane, among the brothers, except for the two who came out of Yuanfu Jin, even if he is the oldest, he must have had some kind of hope. It's just that as the two elder brothers have made a difference, he has never been appreciated, and he has not even received any homework for a serious title, and he is just a little discouraged, so he simply spends his mind on the inner courtyard and eating, drinking, and having fun. Not only does he hate his brother's admonition to him, but he also hates his sister-in-law's way of trying to control his marriage.

Shuning asked: "Why does my sister-in-law always want to marry my sister to your brother?" The Guerjia clan is a high-ranking official among the Manchurian clansmen, and there are many Houlu, why don't you want to let the girl enter the palace, but you only want to match the clan? ”

Tong Ying smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law just wants to have a few more concubines of the same clan to speak harder." In fact, she was really not like this before, and she was also very affectionate with her eldest brother. The eldest brother had a period of grievances, and the sister-in-law has been with him, and I was very moved to see it on the side. Later, the eldest brother was promoted to an official and had a concubine, but it was still just as good to the sister-in-law. But one time, I don't remember what happened, the eldest brother and sister-in-law quarreled, and the eldest brother refuted the sister-in-law's meaning because of the concubine's words. Since then, if the eldest brother wants to accept a newcomer, the sister-in-law will find a bride girl or someone from her mother's family. When I turned fifteen, she began to help me find her sisters, or cousins. ”

Shu Ning was silent, and in this matter, the Guerjia clan was really pitiful. Originally, it was a young husband and wife who shared hardships, but I didn't expect that as soon as the difficulties passed, the husband had a new person, and his love for her gradually decreased. However, thinking of her performance today, Shuning felt that Yarjianga was becoming more and more cold to his wife, and there may not be Guerjia's fault.

Thinking of this, she said to Tongying, "I understand your mind a little. It is precisely because there were peaceful days in the past that you always want your brother and sister-in-law to get along well. I won't stop you, but if you don't let me know this, how will I know why you're doing this? ”

Tong Ying took her hand and said, "I was negligent." In fact, since I fled back to the capital after nine deaths in the northwest, I feel that it is most important for my family to be safe and secure. Your mother's family can be said to be a loving father and mother, loving brothers and brothers, and being very close to each other, I really envy it. Although E-Niang has passed away, I still have my own brother, and I hope we can be as harmonious. ”

Shuning smiled and took his other hand: "Then you have to tell me your thoughts, I am also your family, let's do our best together." Tong Ying looked at her and nodded heavily.

A few days later, Shige came to play again, Shuning remembered what happened a few days ago, so he quietly asked him if the gentleman in Zongxue was sick and had left school early. Shige's eyes widened and said, "No, gentlemen, it's okay, but Master Zhang has been very angry recently, and many people have been punished." ”

Shuning had already guessed that Azaran had skipped school that day, and now it was just confirmed. Shige looked at her and suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which." The third brother was injured several times in the palm of his hand because he left early, but it hurt. Shu Ning smiled and asked, "Why didn't you hear him talk about it?" Your second brother has a lot of good medicine here. ”

Shige smiled: "There is also a second brother in the house who has already stuffed a lot of them. However, the third brother is staying at home under the guise of recuperating from his injuries, but he doesn't know what to do with the people below. Sneaky people are not allowed to ask. ”

Shuning was a little suspicious, and was about to ask more clarification, but Mr. Shi sent someone to ask Shige to talk about her homework, so she didn't ask any more.

Ilgen Jue Luo's son is full moon. Prince Jian's mansion set up twenty tables, and invited the princes of the clan who had good relations and the colleagues in the Yarjiang army. Yarjana wrote back to Mukden in advance, asking Prince Jian to name his grandson, and then announced at the banquet that the second son should be named Alta.

Tongying accompanied her brother to receive the guests, and Shuning also helped to accompany the female guests to greet them. However, she also took time to accompany the Guerjia clan, who was "raising a baby", and endured another round of bombardment from the other party.

Soon after this feast, it will be the day of the draft. After the primary. Shuning once sent someone to inquire about the situation of some show girls. Fortunately, because the cousin of the Tong family also ran for election, she got some more reliable information from her grandfather's family. However, because this year's general election is a nationwide election, unlike her one, it is discounted, and many people are not very clear about the situation except for the show girl in Beijing. In addition, this kind of thing cannot be done too obviously, so there is not much information available. She tidied up a bit and sent it to Azharan to see what he was up to. It's just that Azaran is interested, and he just flips through it casually. When she stepped into the gate of the Guerjia clan's courtyard with her front foot, he walked out of the palace with his back foot.

Until the re-election, she was stepping up her intelligence gathering. When Zhenzhen sent someone to report the news, she knew that General Wu Dan's family had arrived in the capital. And Chongli's wedding was just three days away.

Tongying specially accompanied her to the banquet. But because of identity. Wu Dan was very polite to them, making them embarrassed. Shuning finally understood Tongying's idea of not liking to go to the banquet of ordinary eunuchs. However, thanks to Zhenzhen's blessing, she was able to enter the new house with Zhenzhen as a male in-law and a daughter-in-law, so that she was able to avoid a bunch of women who came up to her.

It's just that when she saw Chongli smiling and saying hello to him, Chongli had a complicated face, and she wanted to stop talking. She asked strangely, "Brother Chongli, do you have anything to ask me to help with?" Chongli didn't speak, and finally Mrs. Wen came over to her with a smile and said, "He is confused, and wants to ask you to accompany the bride in the new house, so that the newlyweds can be a little luxurious." But if you are an in-law, don't you invite you to the front to eat and drink, but ask you to work hard? Ignore him, he was dizzy with joy. ”

Shuning believed it and smiled and walked with her, not seeing a touch of loneliness on Chongli's face. Liangzhu walked over and said softly: "The second master sedan chair has arrived, and the master will let you go quickly." Chongli glanced at her and nodded, walking towards the gate.

Concubine Tong ordered someone to bring a letter out and summon Shuning into the palace to drink tea with her. Shuning had a few in her heart and went the next day. When I arrived at Yanxi Palace, I met a few show girls who also came to drink tea, some quiet, some lively, and some shy. However, Shuning noticed that they were all daughters of a big family with a surname, and their father's official position or title was not low, but they were all middle-class and upper-looking. The clan is most likely to choose a wife with this kind of showwoman. Listening to them, she also probably learned that several of the show girls of the Guerjia clan who were selected this year were very good, including the cousin of the Guerjia clan, the wife of Yarjianga. However, there is a show girl with the same surname Guerjia but a different branch, named Jialundi, although she is the youngest and beautiful, she is the first and has a very likable temperament, and she can be regarded as the person of the year in this show.

Speaking of this beauty, several show girls gradually revealed their true nature. Some are dismissive of her, some are indifferent, and some only like to say some gossip about her and make fun of her softly. Concubine Tong has always been very cordial with them, and Shu Ning only interjects a few words occasionally, and most of the time she is just listening.

On this day, she stayed in the palace for most of the day and had a meal. Seeing two groups of show girls, she specially excluded the more sensitive surnames among them, such as the surname Guo Luoluo or those related to the Ming and Suo factions, and then selected three from the rest of the people, one surnamed Seketu, one surnamed Ulanara, and one surnamed Guerjia, who were the cousins of the Guerjia clan. She wrote down the faces and mannerisms of these three people, and planned to describe them to Tongying when she returned, so that he could draw a portrait.

Concubine Yi learned that Shuning was coming, and she sent someone to bring some snacks over. It seems that because the fifth elder brother re-entered the court on an errand and sealed the king, the scars on the king's face are much better, and Yuanning is about to give birth, many people think that she must be pregnant with a son, so Concubine Yi is in a good mood, and she is also polite to Shuning.

Just accompanied in the palace and talked for most of the day, Shu Ning was also tired, looking at the sky, it was not early, so she solemnly thanked Concubine Tong, said goodbye early, and planned to go out of the palace and return home from Shenwu Gate through the imperial garden.

When she walked to the rockery in the imperial garden, she saw Yuan Ning standing in the pavilion on the rockery from a distance, looking ahead in a daze. Shu Ning saw that her face was a little wrong, so she stopped the little eunuch who was leading the way, and walked over to ask Yuan Ning what was wrong.

Yuan Ning has a big belly, but her figure looks very thin. She listened to Shuning's words, just turned her head to look at it a few times, and then turned her gaze back. Shu Ning followed her line of sight and looked forward, but saw that not far in front of her, the fifth elder brother, the current King of Hengjun, was talking to a few show girls wearing light blue cheongsams, and the look on his face seemed to be very pleasant.

The few show girls who were talking to him were facing away from Shuning, and they didn't know who they were. But look at that person's style, it seems to be a very cheerful and lively girl.

Yuan Ning said faintly: "He said that he was going to go to Elder Brother's place to see the ninth brother, but I didn't expect that I could still see him in the imperial garden when I walked slowly." He hadn't been so happy in years. ”

Shuning silently accompanied her, not knowing what to say. A maid hurriedly ran over, and Shuning remembered that her name seemed to be Wenyu, and she was Yuanning's maid when she was not married. I only heard Wenyu report back: "Fujin, I asked what the show girl's surname is Guerjia, and the one next to Runyu is her sister's name Fuyu." 's father is just a small state sentence, but he is a distant relative of the crown princess's mother's family. Yuan Ning nodded lightly and said, "Inquire more." Wen Yu answered and asked cautiously: "Fu Jin go back first, it's cold outside." Yuan Ning tugged at the corners of her mouth and turned her head to Shu Ning and said, "Third sister will see you back." Then he went slowly.

Shuning stayed where she was for a while, and the little eunuch who led the way called her a few times before she came to her senses and followed him out of the imperial garden. After returning to Beizi Mansion, she recalled Fang Cai's situation and sighed.

Suddenly, Su Xin rushed in and reported: "The third master of King Jian's mansion ......" Before she finished speaking, Azaran rushed in and said: "Second sister-in-law, I know whose girl I should ask to be my daughter-in-law, you have to help me." His eyes widened, and the boss startled Shuning.

She hurriedly reassured: "Don't be in a hurry to sit down and rest first." Azaran waved away the tea sent by Yahuan and said directly: "I want to marry a girl named Runyu, although her surname is Guerjia, but she is not the same as her sister-in-law." She is also this year's show girl, and I heard that she passed the second selection. Second sister-in-law, can you give me a quasi-word to help? ”

(I don't know why I couldn't get on the Internet just now...... ）
