Chapter 36: Work and Rest

Chapter 30: Work and Rest

"You kid, why bother to abuse yourself, these years, you have guarded the backyard for the fourth child, it is really hard, these, not only the palace, but also the long live lord in the eyes, however, the fourth child is now a prince, and there is only one side Fujin, it is indeed not very suitable, besides, his heir is also a little thinner......"

Saying that, Concubine De was kind, and took Zhiyun's hand affectionately, "Zhiyun, E-Niang knows that you have always been in bad health, and it is nothing to hand over the affairs of the family to Li Fangfujin, but she can't be too tired, after all, the little brother of Hongshi is lively, and she needs to take care of her as a mother-in-law." By the way, I heard that the personality of the young adult family is beautiful and wise, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, omniscient, a rare talented woman in the world, rare, and extremely filial, because her mother is not in good health, she has been personally serving the decoction medicine all these years, and even delayed the marriage for this ......"

Zhiyun was silent, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of hot tea, please, the women in this palace are too good at opening their eyes and talking nonsense, why is that Nian Ruyu still unable to marry at an age, the capital is well-informed, who doesn't know, Concubine De can still force this master to be filial piety, it is too outrageous.

Concubine De saw that Zhiyun only lowered her head and pretended to be clumsy, and refused to answer at all, frowned, and simply showdowned: "Good boy, E-Niang knows that you must not be very happy in your heart, but Geng Gege and Song Gege of the fourth family are still inferior in status, and they have no daughters, I am afraid that they will not be able to help Li Fangfujin in any favor, and besides, it is indeed good for the palace to look at the Nian family, it is better for E-Niang to be the master and give her to the fourth?" ”

"What did E-Niang say? Although the daughter-in-law is not a virtuous person, she also knows the truth that the elders give and dare not resign, and the daughter-in-law also thinks that it is a good thing to add a sister to serve the master together, but it is just ......" said, Zhiyun raised her head, her face showed a little hesitation and embarrassment.

Concubine De originally saw that Zhiyun intended to agree, and her eyes vaguely showed a little smugness, but when she immediately saw her voice change, she shirked it again, her face unconsciously showed a trace of unswerving, touched the long finger sleeve on her nails, restrained her smile, and said: "Zhiyun has something to be embarrassed about, just tell E-Niang, E-Niang will definitely call the shots for you......"

"Don't dare to ......" Zhiyun sighed long, "Over the years, Zhiyun has also been worried about the heirs of the master, and has persuaded the master, but the master said that the emperor Ama once told the master, and the master ......."

Speaking of this, Zhiyun seemed to be extremely embarrassed to lower her head, the roots of her ears were red, and her voice became weak, "Except for the daughter-in-law, it is better to be less close to women......"

Concubine De was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly changed, she didn't want to believe it, but she didn't dare to suspect Zhiyun's 'fake holy decree', so she could only sneer: "I see, since it means long live, then Zhiyun has to take care of one or two more......

Li lowered his head, his face did not change, but his lips turned pale, and his hands were stirred together.

Yonghe Palace was silent for a moment, Concubine De returned to normal after a while, changed the topic, pulled Li and began to talk about a few little brothers, Xiao Gege, and also talked about Jing's marriage, now Banzai has pointed out to her marriage, and the marriage is scheduled to be completed in May next year, and the forehead is that Xingde, although it is not too much in line with Concubine De's wishes, but she is still happy on her face, looking like she loves her granddaughter, and praises Xingde as heaven and earth.

Loving mother and virtuous woman, it's so lively, Zhiyun is holding the tea bowl, smiling secretly in her belly, this time she refuted her face openly, and this concubine who used to favor the palace was uncomfortable.

It wasn't until noon that Concubine De said she was tired and sent Zhiyun and Li away.

After that, Concubine De came to An's birth, maybe because the New Year Festival was approaching, she didn't have time to make trouble for Zhiyun anymore, maybe she was angry with Zhiyun, she was not seriously ill, but she really got seriously ill, at least, when it came to the New Year's Festival, the big and small banquets in the palace, this lady did not participate.

However, Zhiyun is not having a good time, she is delayed by everything, she has no time to go back to the Floating City, the New Year is approaching, and the concubine Fujin of the Yongwang Mansion is always bad and says that she wants to leave, so she has no choice but to stay obediently and take over all the entertainment in the year.

At this time, in October, July, the waiter, the sword and other girls had to prepare for the exam, and they had to take the college exam, so Zhiyun was sad and urged, and she couldn't even find a helper, so she had to be busy every day, taking the people in the house to clean the courtyard, posting couplets, painting paste, hanging notes, pasting, pasting, and even arranging the kitchen to make snacks, steaming rice cakes, dumplings, and preparing various New Year's gifts, checking the gold and silver nude and wishful purses used for rewarding during the New Year's Festival, not to mention participating in a large number of New Year's banquets. She is also the concubine of Yongwangfu, even if she is not very happy, it is inevitable to go out to greet and socialize.

When the New Year is out and the year is over, everyone else is eating well and eating well, and it is winter, so it is inevitable to grow meat, but Zhiyun stood in front of the big floor-to-ceiling mirror, and actually saw that he had lost a lot of weight.

Ouyang was also very distressed when he saw his daughter-in-law's clothes widening, so he hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of delicacies with color, flavor and nourishing effect, and explained that most of his daughter-in-law's entertainment could be pushed, and there was no need to make herself uncomfortable.

Zhiyun raised her eyebrows, and breathed a sigh of relief, so she calmed down, eating the delicious food carefully prepared in the kitchen every day, watching Lele draw red and practice calligraphy, take the little maids to do some needlework, read books, tease and tease the two little ones, or point out the magic practice of the book and the sword, the exam questions in July and October are very difficult, and the two of them are not sure, and they are nervously waiting for the report card to come down, and they have to be sad from time to time. Zhiyun simply stopped talking to them about magic, saving the two Ni more anxious.

However, Zhiyun was idle, but Ouyang was busy again, and he couldn't go home late at night.

There is no way, it is now the Kangxi period, not the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, so I can say that the world is peaceful, there are fewer wars, the living standards of the people have risen slightly, and the number of people who can eat enough has increased.

Taiping is of course a good thing, but Taiping, the number of people will naturally grow, and it will increase rapidly, after all, now it is about more grandchildren and more blessings, but this era is not like modern times, household registration management is strict, there is already a mature system, in the Kangxi period, most of these new population are not included in the household registration.

In this way, the imperial court naturally could not control and manage these people, and the local officials and gentry took the opportunity to oppress, so that the poor people had to migrate and go into exile.

As a result, on February 20, the 51st year of Kangxi, the Qing government began to implement the policy of "breeding people and never giving them more".

But now Yinzhen is in charge of the household, this errand happens to be in his charge, for more than two months, Ouyang is so busy that he can't touch the ground, every night when he comes home, his daughter-in-law and children have already rested, and he can't say a few words to his daughter-in-law.

As a result, two days a day was fine, and it lasted until two months, Ouyang Da*OSS, who had always regarded work as fun, was a little unbearable, and finally in March, the weather was about to turn hot, he shook his hand, threw an errand to his subordinates, took a leave of absence, and prepared to rest for a while.

In March, it is the time of flowers.

In the bedroom, Zhiyun and Lele are crooked on the thick wool carpet, piled up puzzle building blocks to play, this building block is specially made by Tong Hui, and some interesting basic magic knowledge is drawn on it, as long as it is put together, there will be flowers and rain flying, it is very beautiful and interesting, Zhiyun thinks it is good, so let Lele play, just can play at the same time, but also use his brain to think about things, but there is a bit of entertaining.

Ouyang hugged the curled up on the hot bed, yawned, sat up with the quilt, poked his head out to fish, scooped up the little girl in the cloud car, and kissed it happily several times.

He had a good time, but this time he stabbed the hornet's nest, and the strong man who stayed in the cloud car howled instantly, and Yuanyuan also cried.

Hearing the earth-shattering cry, Zhiyun rolled her eyes, leaned over to pick her up, and stuffed it into his father's arms, waiting for this little paw's soft little hand of his sister, then he bent up extremely delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and eliminated the cry.

"Don't make the two of them cry, what if the child's voice is broken?"

Ouyang squinted his eyes pleasantly, stretched out his fingers and poked his fleshy face, the two little guys were strong, they were no longer as thin as they were when they were born, their size had increased dramatically, they were white and fat, their legs and feet were not honest, and the strength of kicking people was not small, much stronger than ordinary babies, and the cloud car at the beginning was almost unable to fit them, so Zhiyun had to change to a large one.

Teasing the toothless child, Ouyang raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips thoughtfully, "It's been a few months since the child was born, I didn't think about it before, and I will be idle now...... Zhiyun, you said that we were named Hongday by Emperor Kangxi, it won't be the Hongtian in history......"

Saying that, Ouyang pressed his eyebrows, thinking that his family had actually become a celebrity in various film and television dramas, and in each of them, messing around every day, when he was alive, he would hold a funeral for himself from time to time to collect money, and rob the treasury silver.

Zhiyun glanced at it, and this one thought of it, from the day Kangxi named the child, she thought of it: "What do you want to do so much, even if he is that Hongday, now taught by the two of us, he will not become so out of tune, besides, according to your thoughts, the little brother of the Fourteenth Family is still called Hongli, and he was also born by Niu Colu's family, is it possible, will he really become the Qianlong Emperor in history?" ”

"Ah, too." Ouyang blinked, and deliberately smiled at his daughter-in-law seriously, "By the way, didn't it be said in the wild history that Kangxi chose Yinzhen as his successor because he valued Hongli's grandson?" Well, that's not easy, or kill him early? ”

"Extinguish...... Extinguish ......"

Zhiyun and Ouyang were stunned for a moment, they couldn't care about being bored, lowered their heads, and actually saw the round little girl waving her little hand, squeaking and spitting out words with her mouth open, although it was not clear and very vague, but she did speak.

Zhiyun was shocked, "No, it's only been a few months, the baby's vocal cords shouldn't be fully developed, why can this girl speak now?" ”。
