Zilan fetched buckets of water from the well, stirred the feed, and carried it to feed the horses. But when he saw a little girl tied up with a gorgeously dressed woman and went to the stable, he couldn't help but stand still, and after looking at it for a while, Liu San'er came out of the stable, touched Zilan with his shoulder, and said with a smile: "What, is the master's character good-looking?" Zilan was stunned and said, "How could the master's Gege come here?" ”

Liu San'er has always been big-mouthed and well-informed, he said: "That's Wu Gege, who has a very bad heart, and mixed oleander leaves with the tea he drank in Fujin." Zilan was worried: "How is Fujin?" No wonder many imperial doctors came in the morning. Liu San'er smiled: "It's okay, Fujin didn't drink it at all." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said: "Right now, the West Courtyard is in chaos, and the master is furious, saying that he wants to rectify the people well, and even the maids in charge of Fujin's side have been beaten with twenty rods. He sighed to himself: "That is, Wu Gege is also a little bolder, and he dares to collide with Fujin, so it's strange if he is not angry." Our lord, and Fu Jin are the most affectionate, Fu Jin was in a coma for those years, Master De didn't know how many times he persuaded him to marry Fu Jin, but the master just refused. ”

Zilan said, "Ye really loves Fujin so much? ”

Liu San'er exaggerated five points and said proudly: "That's natural, the Fujin that the emperor pointed out to the master was someone else, but the fourteenth master recognized our Fujin, so he knelt in the rain in the Qianqing Palace for a night." Also, since the master married Fu Jin, he has never spoiled others in the side courtyard..."Zi Lan didn't believe that there was such a dedicated person in this world, let alone the prince, so she smiled: "Don't fool me, the master doesn't spoil others, why did Fu Jin give birth to a child?" Liu San'er said: "That was when Fujin was in a coma, it doesn't count." Zilan no longer reasoned with him, picked up the bucket, and walked to the well, so Liu San'er was afraid that she would not believe it, so she chattered and explained all the way.

Fourteen sat in the front of the hall, his face stiff, his eyes crackling like firecrackers. The servant who knelt on the ground under the black press, and Minqiu was pulled on the bench in the compound to be beaten by the board, and the sound of slapping was accompanied by Minqiu's forbearant moaning. The groans came into the house, and everyone trembled. I stood beside me, looking at Fourteen's face, and I didn't dare to persuade.

This kid is so powerful that even I am afraid.

He said loudly: "The Wu family is a gift from the emperor, and the master will spare her from death." If you have bad intentions towards Fu Jinsheng, you will not be able to spare it. He bared his teeth and said: "Zhulian Nine Clans, never be soft!" Everyone bowed to the ground and said, "Slaves and maids must be loyal to the master, and they will never dare to have two hearts, and ask the master to calm his anger." After the punishment was carried out, the people outside dragged Minqiu into the house, Minqiu's face was like white paper, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead, and she kowtowed to the ground and said, "Thank you." ”

I couldn't help but say: "It's all Wu Gege's, it has nothing to do with Minqiu, just punish Wu Gege for this matter, don't be too lenient." Besides, if it weren't for Minqiu's loyalty, how would he confess to me? I carefully stared at Fourteen's face, for fear that he would take the case and scold me.

He didn't, though.

Fourteen said: "Let's all go down." The crowd was relieved, but they retreated. Min Qiu wanted to get up, and said, "Min Qiu kneels." Minqiu shuddered with fright, and almost fell to the ground limply. I said, "She's punished all of them, let the imperial doctor prescribe two doses of medicine for her, and rub some ointment..." Fourteen glanced at me and shouted, "Is it time to intercede?" ”

Me: "..."

Minqiu's eyes were full of tears, and she said: "The slave and maid should die, no matter how the master punishes, the slave and the maid are willing to bear it." There was no trace of warmth in Fourteen's tone, and he said: "You dare to have an affair with a man under the nose of the master's mother, do you think the master can spare you?" Then he asked, "When did you seduce the upper forehead?" No wonder Shun Anyan has been talking to the house for the past few months, originally to see you. ”

What to seduce and not to seduc? Men and women love each other, it's just a matter of course.

You can't blame it all.

I maintained: "Min Qiu knows etiquette and understands the law, and he will never do anything unscrupulous, he must be the first..." Fourteen glanced at me again, and said, "Master asks, can you not interject?" I said: "Of course not, Minqiu is my girl, she has served me for more than ten years, and she is closer than her own sister." Fourteen hated that iron could not become steel, and said angrily: "More and more nonsense." ”

Minqiu's shoulders trembled, crying uncontrollably, and said, "Miss treats me like this, but I have failed Miss, it's really... It's not a pity to die. With that, he stood abruptly and reflexively slammed into the pillar under the porch. Fortunately, Bai Zhi and the grandmothers stood at the door, grabbed her to death, and said, "If you really have the heart to die, you should also listen to the master's order, how can you touch the pillar?" ”

I was so anxious that I stomped my foot and said, "Fourteen, forget it, if you force Minqiu to death, I will be sad in my heart, why bother?" ”

Fourteen sighed repeatedly, got up, poked a finger on my forehead, and said, "Can you have a snack?" If you dare to seduce the man outside today, you will dare to seduce the master tomorrow? Aren't you worried? Besides, Elu is the husband of the ninth sister, and he has really lost the royal face by acting like this, and I will tell the emperor to punish him heavily. ”

Seeing that things were going to get bigger and bigger, Minqiu tried her best to break free of Bai Zhi, stumbled, almost climbed into the house, knelt and cried: "Master, it's all the slaves and maids who seduce the forehead, it's all the slaves' faults, please... Please don't blame the forehead. Her clothes were stained with blood, her lips were white, her speech was weak, her face was full of tears, and she endured severe pain to intercede for her beloved.

Fourteen kept a straight face and didn't speak, and the thought of his dead sister made the flames rise upward.

I was afraid that he would be angry, so I was relieved: "You are angry, fortunately, things are not too bad..." Fourteen said: "Isn't it to check the matter of oleander roots and leaves?" I shook my head with a smile and said outside, "Bai Zhi, let Lord Wang come in." Bai Zhi agreed, quickly moved to the side hall, and asked Lord Wang to meet him.

Lord Wang smiled with a smile on his face, and said, "Greetings to the Fourteenth Master, and greetings to Fujin." ”

I smiled and said, "Lord Wang, tell the Fourteenth Master, what did you do when you came to the mansion?" Lord Wang stroked his long gray beard and said, "After Weichen and several other old men diagnosed Fu Jin's pulse, they all determined that Fu Jin was two months pregnant, congratulations to the Fourteenth Master." As if he hadn't heard, Fourteen looked at Lord Wang, then at me, and said, "Really? ”

He has been looking forward to this child for a long time.

I said, "Really." ”

Fourteen stood up, helped me to sit down on his stool, and finally smiled, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" I had to take an inch and said, "You've been angry, I haven't even had a chance to say it." He said, "Okay, okay, I'm not angry." Reluctantly, he said, "That's it, you all go down." He also ordered the steward to reward a few imperial doctors with silver, and urged the kitchen to boil tonic to eat.

For a while, the rain finally cleared up.

After being tired for most of the day, I wanted to lie down, but Fourteen had to carry me into the inner room, and I smiled and said, "It's not so delicate." "Fourteen didn't listen, and wanted to tie me to my waist and do everything for me. I was half-lying on the couch, fourteen sat on the pedal looking at my belly, pondered for a while, and said, "When did you say the baby was conceived?" Two months? I raised my hand and patted him on the head, saying, "Nonsense." Fourteen said seriously: "Yes, so many times, I really can't tell the difference." ”

He became more and more improper, so ashamed that I covered my head with a quilt and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I won't talk to you anymore." ”

Fourteen supported his face on his elbows, lying on the edge of the couch, laughing happily.

Baylor House became jubilant because I was pregnant, and the fourteenth played Kangxi and Master De, and the rewards fell like snowflakes. At the end of Wanyan's Mansion, Ama even sent two boxes of shoes, socks, robes, and jackets for the little prince to wear, saying that they had been prepared for a long time, and they were waiting for me to be pregnant. In the first three months, Fourteen didn't dare to let me walk around, and was afraid that I would be idle, so he raised a dozen servants in the house to sing small songs for me to relieve my boredom. After the injury on Minqiu's waist healed, she still went back to the West Courtyard to serve, but was seriously warned by Fourteen that if she had anything to do with the forehead again, not only herself, but also the forehead should not want to have a good life. And Wu Gege, who beat her and scolded her, looked up to her, and Fourteen didn't even have the heart to beat and scold, so he sent people directly to the outer house. And her grandmother and girl, giving away, selling cheaply, fourteen picked two more grandmothers from the house to take care of and serve in the house.

After such a toss, only Fang Fujin and Hongchun were left to live in the side courtyard, and Fang Fujin was both relieved and bitter.

As soon as Master De heard that I was pregnant, he began to introduce the object to Fourteen again. coincided with the Kangxi draft, the old man didn't look down on the well-behaved show girl with a family background, Concubine De not only gave the fourteenth mansion to the palace, but also to the fourth master's mansion. The fourth master is good, the Li family is arrogant, but he does not dare to be disobedient in major matters. Fourteen is much worse, pushing left and right, being scolded by Concubine De in the palace, and being troubled by me when I go back to the house. Fortunately, he is a big man, with rough skin and thick meat, and he can bear big and small things, and it is nothing to say.

The real big thing is that at the gate of the Forbidden City, the fourteenth beat up Shun Anyan, which alarmed Kangxi.

Shun Anyan was beaten and bruised and swollen, but he didn't dare to mention the matter between himself and Minqiu, but instead helped Fourteen to speak, taking all the blame on himself, and said: "It's Weichen who is not good, and he is disrespectful, and he annoys Fourteen Baylor, please punish the emperor." Kangxi is not a mediocre person, but he didn't think about it either, he just thought that the two young men with strong blood had lost their temper for a while, so they let the two go.

When I returned home on the fourteenth, I saw that he had bruises on his cheeks and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He didn't bother to hide it, in short: "When I met Shun Anyan, I punched him twice." Min Qiu listened to it in horror, and almost dropped the teacup in his hand. I glanced at Minqiu, and Minqiu said, "The slave went to the kitchen to announce a snack." ”

When she was gone, I said, "Why did he offend you?" Fourteen: "Why didn't he offend me?" Something with no face and no skin, a few years after the death of the ninth sister, he dared to remarry, and now he dares to have an affair with the maidservant under my nose, don't let me see him again in the future, and I will be beaten once I see him. His tone was like that of a troubled teenager who hadn't graduated from high school, and it amused me.
