At this time, Shuning was at her mother's house, Zhang Bao and Tong's sent a letter from Huguang, and sent some local products back, Zhenzhen specially informed her to get a copy too. The sister-in-law couldn't stop laughing while reading the letter written by the younger brother.

What made Shuning feel strange was that when she went to the big house to ask for peace, the eldest aunt Nala and the sister-in-law Li were not there, only a few concubines got together and gossiped. asked where they were, but the concubines only knew that they had gone to King Yong's mansion. Shuning thought that they were taking care of Wan Ning who was sick, and wondered in her heart, wasn't Wan Ning's illness almost better? The last time I went back to my parents' house, I heard Nala say that she was able to go out and walk around.

Asked about Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen couldn't say clearly, only knew that someone suddenly came to Yongwang's Mansion before noon, but listening to the tone of that person's voice shouldn't be a big deal, maybe Wanning was awkward again, right?

Shu Ning went home with questions, and on the way home, she accidentally saw the street scene outside, and suddenly remembered that Fang Ning lived nearby, she hadn't seen this eldest sister for almost a month, and when she saw that it was still early, she called the coachman to drive to Shu Mulu's house. But when I arrived at the door of Fangning's alley, I hesitated. When we met last time, Mrs. Shu Mulu's face was not very good, and I don't know if she was not welcome. It seems a bit abrupt to pass by without saying hello beforehand.

She was hesitating whether to get out of the car, but she heard a girl ring outside and asked if it was the third aunt and grandmother who came, but it turned out to be Fang Ning's girl Guo'er. Fang Ning went to the neighbor's house while her son was sleeping, and when she came home, she happened to see Shuning and her party. He recognized a few of his attendants and sent someone to ask for advice. Seeing that it was really Shu Ning, Fang Ning happily invited her into the house to sit down, and instructed the maids to pour tea and snacks, without the slightest hint of unwelcomeness.

Shu Ning carefully inquired and knew that Mrs. Shu Mulu had returned to her parents' house today, so she was secretly relieved. In fact, the old man believes in Buddhism and has a good heart. I don't know the inside story, so I misunderstood Tongying, and I was a little dissatisfied with her. She was originally worried that the old lady would be embarrassed if she was at home, but now it was just right.

Chenchen and Ran Ran woke up and were picked up by ** to see their aunt. The two children are very strong, one is tiger-headed, and the other is very good at coquettishness, and Shuning teased them for a while. I felt that the two of them were getting more and more cute, and I thought of the more lovely Brother Ming, and suddenly had an idea, thinking that it was not bad to have a child.

Fang Ning hugged her sons to the kang one by one. Let them play by themselves, then took a few booklets out and smiled at Shuning: "The third sister came just in time." Next month, when the children have their birthdays, I want to make them a dress to embroider on their heads. I can't settle down. The third sister's needlework has always been the best among the sisters. Why don't you help me with the details? ”

Shuning smiled and agreed. I took the booklet and discussed it with Fang Ning. As soon as she selected two patterns, she inadvertently looked up and saw Ran Ran's eyes wide open, staring curiously at the pattern on the booklet. coaxed him: "Which one does Ran Ran like?" ”

Ran Ran tilted her head and thought about it, and pounced on the booklet, her little hand just pressed on the pattern of the magpie, and kept patting it...... Shuning smiled: "It turns out that you like this, then choose this." Fang Ning smiled and hugged Chenchen and asked him what he meant. As a result, Chenchen chose a tiger.

Shuning looked at Fang Ning's situation of letting the children choose patterns, and suddenly remembered that not long after crossing over, Tong had also picked patterns on a stack of drawings in order to burn a set of glassware for the fourth uncle Rong Bao as a wedding gift, and she had an idea at that time. Recalling the days in Mukden, although it was poorer, it was the most carefree time she had since she crossed over.

When she returned home, her mind was still full of memories of the past, and when she woke up, she saw that Tongying was walking around the house, as if there was something troubled. She asked out loud what was going on, and Tongying hesitated for a long time before asking, "Shu'er, do you want to go back to Fengtian?" ”

Shuning was a little surprised, and thought to herself, could this be called "having a good heart"? She just missed the days of Fengtian, so Tongying asked this question.

After Tongying explained her thoughts, Shuning knew the reason and said, "I also heard about Jingqi's return to Tun." My mother's sixth brother, An Ning, is not young, because he was afraid of being chosen, and his eldest uncle specially asked someone to find him an errand for Lan Ling's guard. Do you want to go back to Fengtian, I'm in favor of the earth, just with your title seems a little high? And your family is already in Mukden, even if you go back, it's not an experience, right? Will the emperor agree? ”

Tong Ying said: "I don't know if the emperor will agree, but if I come forward, I can almost be regarded as the person with the highest title to return to Tun, and it is not without benefits to the emperor." Nowadays, although life is idle in Beijing, there are always people who love to block us, and there is no shortage of gossip. On the other side of the palace, Ama has an eldest brother to take care of her body, and her bones are still healthy, so there is nothing to worry about. I'm impatient to look at Ji Fujin again, their faces might as well go back to Fengtian. The younger brothers and sisters in the old prince's mansion are still young, and there is no one in the mansion who can take charge of the landlord, who knows if the people below will take the opportunity to bully them? Wouldn't it be better if I could go back and take care of it and find something to do? ”

Shu Ning was moved, and she was naturally willing to go outside to live a quiet life. The so-called Huitun also has some understanding, but it is not a busy errand. It's exciting to be able to live freely and freely without the constraints of Beijing. But after the excitement, she remembered that her parents had gone to the south now, and if she wanted to leave, wouldn't there be only her brother left in Beijing? She was really reluctant.

Tong Ying knew her thoughts, so she simply took her back to the Baron's Mansion to talk to Duan Ning about it.

Originally, Duan Ning was against it, but thinking of the grievances suffered by her sister and brother-in-law in recent months, she was also a little shaken, and after thinking for a while, she sighed: "It's okay, you can avoid some for the time being." I heard that since you had an accident, the emperor went out to patrol the fortress and this time Yongdinghe did not bring the eldest son of the emperor, but I am afraid that they will take advantage of the question. If the emperor goes out of Beijing, the prince wants to avoid suspicion, and you will probably suffer. Mukden is a place where we have lived since childhood. It's better than a strange place, and you can go if you are familiar with it. ”

Shu Ning was a little moved, hurriedly held his hand, and called out, "Brother"—Xiao—said—Wang Duanning still touched her head as she did when she was a child, and said: "Actually, I also thought about leaving Beijing, but I didn't think about Ao Han, Naiman, and Zalut, and the Mongolian tribes. It's just that my sister-in-law hasn't been outside the border. The child is small, and the family property needs to be taken care of, so I dispelled the idea. I didn't expect you to take the lead now. ”

When Zhenzhen heard it next to her, she smiled and said, "Brother Duan, I actually wanted to say it a long time ago, you don't have to worry too much." I'm also a little moved when I hear you talk about the scenery outside the gate. After two years, when the children are older and the little Bao brothers can be on their own, I will accompany you to Mongolia. How is it? ”

Duan Ning was a little surprised, but he was a little moved, but he had other worries: "What about the family's property?" If it is handed over to Aunt Liu and Xiaobao, I am only worried that other uncles will interfere. ”

Jinjin smiled: "This is also easy. There are Changfu and the second sister-in-law in the family to take care of Fangshan, and it is enough to have Gu Steward and Niu Xiaosan in the business, as for several houses and shops in Beijing, they only need to collect rent on a quarterly basis. Don't worry about it. And we're not very far away. I've been a lot more relaxed these months than I used to be. If you make up your mind, I'll take your time to make some arrangements, even if we're not there. There will be no problems at home. Just do what you want. ”

Duan Ning held his wife's hand and called out "Sister Zhen" movingly. Without waiting for Zhenzhen to reply, Tongying coughed twice next to her first, and Shuning couldn't help but smile: "Brother and sister-in-law, although there is a bit of a bad scenery, I want to say that it is we who are going to go outside the gate now, not my brother." ”

Zhenzhen's face flushed, and she hurriedly threw down Duanning's hand, and went to hold her son and bow her head to drink tea. Duan Ning coughed lightly, glanced at her sister complainingly, and glared at Tong Ying before she sat down to discuss with them about writing a letter to her parents.

Tong Ying and Shu Ning made up their minds and began to prepare. Tong Ying first went back to Prince Jian's mansion to tell her father and brother about her decision. Prince Jian objected at first, but what Tongying said also made sense, instead of being idle in Beijing for two years, it was better to go outside to experience and add some qualifications, not to mention that Fengtian was their family's base camp, and by the way, they could also take care of a few properties in the old prince's mansion.

In the process of convincing his father, his brother Yarjianga helped a lot, and it seemed that it was because he felt that he had wronged his younger brother before, so he wanted to try his best to help him achieve his wish. After Prince Jian finally nodded, Tong Ying patted his eldest brother on the shoulder and smiled at him, which was regarded as revealing the past.

Prince Jian came out to make a request to the emperor, and within two days, Tongying was summoned by the emperor. When they met, the emperor looked at Tongying for a long time before he said: "I know that you were wronged a few days ago, and I also know that you have not had a good time recently. Do you honestly tell me if you complain about me in your heart? ”

Tong Ying was kneeling on the ground and hurriedly said, "The slave doesn't dare." That incident was the fault of the minions, and it was not stopped in time beforehand, and it was mishandled afterwards that it would lead to rumors and affect the reputation of the prince and the fourth elder brother. The emperor was magnanimous and did not punish the minions heavily, and he was afraid that he did not know how to repay the emperor's favor. A few days ago, I heard people talking about it outside, and learned that the emperor was a little troubled, although the slaves couldn't do anything, they could still do it with a little effort. Please ask the emperor to let the minions fight this first battle. ”

The Emperor sighed, "Get up, I know you are a good boy. Tong Ying got up cautiously and dealt with it for half an hour before exiting the imperial study.

Looking at the dazzling sunlight outside, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor has promised that in a few days there will be a formal decree down. Considering that he had been a military attache of the second rank, if he was asked to start as a small steward like the children of Huitun in other places, it would not be like the emperor, so he let him take a position similar to that of the supervising place, and together with the general Sunu of Shengjing and Zhou Peigong, the commander of Fengtian, he was in charge of the training place of the children of the Eight Banners after returning to Tun.

This is exactly what Tong Ying thinks now, and his thoughts now are very different from the beginning, this position has something to do, but it is not the highest person in charge, or even a person who can make decisions, it is not conspicuous and does not attract envy, it is really a good errand.

He went home and told Shuning about the matter, and the two of them happily enjoyed it, and then discussed it for a day, and then began to prepare separately.

Shuning has to decide to serve with her. Frangipani is pregnant, it is impossible to follow, and after all, the mansion of the capital is the foundation, and it is good to leave a cronie. Friday Fu was too old to go to the north, so she asked his family to stay, and only brought Zhou Chang and Niu Xiaosi.

When you're thinking about who else to bring. Sun Mingze came to the door. When he heard that Tongying and his wife were leaving, he took the first step to find Tongying, who had obtained Huang Ying'er's willingness and asked him to promise Huang Ying'er to himself as a concubine. Tongying asked someone to ask Huang Ying'er, so she agreed to know if it was true, and gave a heavy gift to congratulate her, and asked her wife to prepare some makeup for Huang Ying'er.

Shuning heard that Huang Ying'er was going to be a concubine. sighed in her heart, but she also knew that with Huang Ying'er's identity, even if she was not a slave, she was born in Youling, and it was impossible to become the wife of military attache Sun Mingze. However, Sun Mingze has not yet become a family, so he must treat her well.

It's just that when Huang Ying'er came to thank her, she unexpectedly asked something: "May I ask Madame, Lord and Madame are going to the north." Will you bring Yijun with you? “

Shuning was a little surprised and said, "Fengtian is bitter cold and Yijun's condition is just afraid that it is not suitable, right?" Huang Ying'er knelt down solemnly and said, "Madame, slave and maid, thank you for the grace of your lord and madam." But the slave maid still has a reluctant request. If Mrs. doesn't plan to take Yijun with her, please ask Mrs. to find a good family for her. She looks like that, she has such a temperament, and she doesn't have her master pressing on me, and I'm not there. She's going to be bullied to death. It's better to find someone for her to rely on first. ”

Shuning thought for a moment. Said: "You are reasonable. But who can I go to in a moment? Why don't you ask if she's interested in someone in the house? I'll make the decision for her, if it's outside, I can also help, but I need to make it clear in advance that she can't recover to be a good citizen, so if she wants to marry outside, most of the better people will be smaller, I just worry that she will still be bullied. ”

Huang Ying'er didn't know what to do: "That's ...... So what to do? She is a serious official lady, who is literate and literate, so she can't be asked to marry a peddler pawn, right? ”

Shu Ning suddenly remembered someone and said: "I have such a person, who chooses people, has a good character, talent, and appearance, and has a similar identity, and people still have the ability, I called you to see it, how about it?" ”

What she thought of was Gu Quansheng, he was the same as Yijun, he was the child of an official family, and his father was the same as his father, and he had to be a slave for life after committing a crime, and he had to be a slave for life, maybe he would have a common language.

When Gu Quansheng came and met and talked to Na Yijun, Shuning knew that they were old people. Yijun's real surname is Jiang, and Gu Quansheng was even one of her sister's admirers back then, but how could the daughter of the dignified prefect look down on a little son of the magistrate? It was only later that the Jiang family had an accident, and Yijundi's sister was driven back to her parents' house by her husband's family with a letter of resignation, and since then the relationship has been severed, and her sister wiped her neck when she was humiliated.

Gu Quansheng knew that the deceased's sister had fallen into such a field, and sighed and offered to take care of her, but Jiang Yijun was a little hesitant. Shuning didn't have time to watch them grind, so she took the initiative and transferred Yijun to the Juma River Village. Although it is still some distance from Fangshan, it is much closer than the capital. Gu Quansheng often runs outside for business, and it is normal to "stop by" to see the old people, and then it depends on how they get along. Shu Ning specially told Zhenzhen and Manager Yin to give them a happy event as long as they wanted.

At this time, Tongying specially invited Mr. Jiang to the study, and told him that his wife wanted to return to Fengtian, and asked him what his plans were, if he wanted to continue to stay, all the treatment remained the same, and if there was any need, just go to the housekeeper, and if he wanted to leave, he would also give him silver.

After thinking about it, Mr. Jiang decided to go back to his hometown. His family is not far from the capital in Yi County, and he used his savings in the past few years to buy dozens of acres of land and open a small calligraphy and painting shop, so that he can live in peace. When Tongying heard his answer, he asked his brother to write a letter to Mr. Jiang and bring it with him, and if the magistrate was embarrassed, he took out the letter and showed it to the county magistrate, gave him three hundred taels of silver, and sent someone to send him back to his hometown. Mr. Jiang solemnly thanked him.

Before Holly left, she pulled Shuning and the other maids to cry, Shuning agreed with her to communicate often, so she persuaded her to stop crying, and then Frangipani and Sandalwood took her to the ear room, and the sisters said some private words. Shuning smiled, and was about to go back to the house to find a few ornaments for Holly to think about, but she saw Qiu Yi enter the house, knelt in front of her, and said, "Madame, the slave and maid dare to beg Madame to take the slave and maid away." ”

Shuning was startled by her sudden movements, and hurriedly called her up and asked, "Why do you think so?" Fengtian is not as comfortable as in the capital, I remember that you are most afraid of the cold. She never thought of taking them with her, as long as she kept them in Beijing for a few years, and when they were old, Manager Yin would arrange for them to marry.

Qiu Yi struggled and refused to get up, and said, "Ask Mrs. to agree." If the lady is not at ease, the slave and maid are willing to marry and go again. As long as the marriage is the same person who goes with you. ”
