Return to the Qing Dynasty (57)

The Eighth Concubine didn't speak for a long time. When she stood up and walked out, she put her hands on the curtain. She stopped and said to Xuanbao: "I heard you talk tonight that you think you are Ama's daughter. You Ama is a capable person. To be honest, you are not as good as Master Long Live. I don't think of you before. How could your daughter look like you? Looking at you now, you are indeed Ama's daughter."

Xuanbao held the table with her hands and didn't take it out. She knew that if she followed her, she would be a little embarrassed.

As soon as the Eighth Concubine left the door, she saw the Eighth Master standing in the yard. She turned her face and looked into the room. She was indeed not wrong. It was Yinsi's species. She just shrank her neck and the curves in her head were more curved than other people.

The two of them stood under the eaves and the other in the yard, standing quietly. The wind at night was whistling, and the cloak on their bodies was raised. The corners of the Eighth Concubine's mouth moved, but they didn't know how to speak. Xuanbao did it on purpose, Yinsi heard everything just now. Yinsi knew what he was suspicious. Think about it carefully, although Xuanbao did it on purpose, her words were indeed right. Yinsi was not such a person. She just couldn't stand it.

No, I can't stand myself now, nor can I stand Yinsi's gentleness to any woman. In the cold winter, I stood here in the middle of the night, and my legs should be cold. Yinsi's legs were not good. In those years, the late emperor did not like Yinsi and said that his father and son were completely dead. Yinsi knelt on every festival, and these legs were broken at that time. In fact, it was similar to Thirteen, but Yinsi was afraid of laughter and never showed it in front of others. The bones that should be frozen at this moment must have hurt.

The feet moved involuntarily, and Yinsi turned around. The Eighth Concubine said nothing, went over to support him and left.

The Eighth Master was pulled by the Eighth Master. He raised his eyes and looked at the side face of the concubine with the snow light. He was still the same person. When he came back from the outside of the Great Wall, he was carried off the carriage. He had been sick for half a year and had not seen any good luck, but the Great Chao never delayed it. He went when he was supposed to go, and when he came back, he became soft as soon as he entered the door. She stood at the gate and waited. She helped him walk and asked him to leave the last bit of decent demeanor that belonged to the Eighth Master outside.

The road in our own mansion is not long. Neither of the couple spoke, as if they were back a few years ago.

Was it painful then? It was more painful than it is now.

Was it difficult then? It is more difficult than now.

"I have survived such hard and difficult days." The Eighth Master finally spoke, holding the Eighth Concubine with his backhand, "What other days can't be lived?"

The Eighth Concubine pursed her lips and didn't speak, as stubborn as ever. But the hand that was supporting the Eighth Master did not let go.

After returning to the yard, Baozhu ran out of the house. When he saw the couple coming back, he was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled unnaturally and went to see the Eighth Concubine, "Where has the Concubine been there? No matter how he didn't see him, he was so anxious."

The Eighth Fool's face slightly shook to the side, and the Eighth Master clenched her hand, "It's Baozhu, why don't you go back to your own yard? I went over and saw the big princess. The messy house in the mess was messy and I didn't know if it was a big deal. It's getting late, so hurry up and go back."

As he said that, he pulled the Eighth Concubine around and walked forward directly, and said as he walked, "Our Xuanbao has started looking for his in-laws. When did you leave the other person's Baozhu at home? Xuanbao is a royal family girl. No matter how old he is, he doesn't have to worry about being two years old. Baozhu is a Han woman, and it's too late to get married in the 11th and 2nd. How old is Baozhu now? Looks like it's not too young. Hurry up and tell his father, "If a woman is old or not..."

The Eighth Concubine looked at the Eighth Master deeply, knowing that he was concerned about He Zhuo's face, so she told the girl a little. She cooperated and said 'um'.

Baozhu immediately turned pale behind the two of them.

After returning to the room, she washed and lay down, no one said anything. The Eighth Master looked at the top of the bed with his eyes open, and he didn't move. The Fujin's head was on the other end of the bed, either he was making a fuss with him or not sleeping with him, and every time his legs were cold or not warm, they both slept on the same bed. When Fujin slept, he held his legs, but she didn't cover him like this, and he was not warm at all. In fact, it's okay to have a hot kang, but when he slept with a hot kang, he got angry. The next day, his throat was sore so hard that he couldn't even say anything. He soaked in hot water, and the cold air in the cracks of the bones seemed to be soaked. She just hugged and wrapped it in her arms for a night...

His legs gradually became warmer and his feet were no longer cold. But the cold liquid on the insteps called Baye to know that Fujin cried.

He didn't say anything, and didn't know what to say.

I don’t know how I fell asleep at night, but it was normal to wake up early the next day. Hongwang’s wedding was very good. There was not much joy on Fojin’s face, and he didn’t feel cold and heartbroken.

When his son and daughter-in-law were sent into the bridal chamber, he wanted to talk to Fujin several times, but Fujin looked for an opportunity to avoid it, without any sign of wanting to talk deeply.

Until the New Year, this situation did not change. Even the New Year's Eve palace banquet, she took a leave.

The Eighth Master felt something was wrong. The concubine completely closed herself.

So Lin Yutong met the Eighth Master before the palace banquet. Actually, she was very busy before the palace banquet. It was not suitable for her to attend this occasion, but to attend, she had to settle the four little ancestors. The Fourth Master had already supported her. The Eighth Master said that she hadn't seen the four little ones before. What could the Fourth Master say? She must have called her. These people didn't really go to see the children, and they knew that this would make a fuss about the children. They were just giving New Year's money to the children. The children didn't succeed, but they had to give them New Year's money. Before coming here, they had to tell the parents of the children and tell them.

I said, I have seen your children and have all the money. This is the same as the modern principles of looking at other people's children. It is just about favors and rituals. However, many people are all women, because it is not very convenient for Lin Yutong to live in Qingyan, Jiuzhou, but these people just pretend that they don't know, so they personally went to the Fourth Master to live in Qihuangju, the residence of Lin Yu in the garden. Qihuangju was later changed by the Fourth Master, and it was called Lin Yutong to live in a bit of intimacy. Anyway, Hongshi's wife and Hongli's wife are now supporting the ladies who come to see the children.

For this reason, the Eighth Master said he wanted to see the child, so the Fourth Master was allowed. The Eighth Master asked for leave, so the Eighth Master could not be rude. Originally, Hongwang’s wife or Xuanbao were okay, but the Eighth Master had always been very clear about this kind of thing. Hongwang and the Fourth Master were their relationship, and the matter between him and the Fourth Master had to be calculated separately. Therefore, Zhang Qilin said that the Eighth Master was here, and even Lin Yutong didn’t think much about it, thinking that it was just for the child.

The children had just eaten milk, and the nanny was burping on her breasts. She definitely couldn't carry them out and asked to meet her.

So Lin Yutong was already dressed up and went to see the Eighth Master directly, "...I just fell asleep, and turned around and took it out and asked them to pay tribute to the Eighth Uncle."

The Eighth Master said he didn't dare to say anything about the child, and then apologized, "Is it rude for the concubine to not come to pay my respects to the fourth sister-in-law?"

There is no need to tell me this specifically. Some people come when they are willing to show their faces, while some people don’t want to show their faces and say they are sick. No one takes it seriously. But in general, coming to the garden for the New Year is an honor, and not everyone has this honor.

She didn't care, "Just rest, it's not an outsider. She can see you anytime you want, so there's no need to say this."

The eighth Master continued with a smile, "That's the fourth sister-in-law Kuanren. Last time I heard someone say that the fourth sister-in-law knew about menopause, but I found a few imperial physicians and didn't know much about this. I looked for the concubine, and they all saw some decoctions to relieve depression. After drinking it, I couldn't tell at all. I came over and asked the fourth sister-in-law what the situation was in this menopause."

Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment and understood that the Eighth Master came for the Eighth Concubine.

The Eighth Concubine's situation is indeed due to her own reasons, but the external factors of menopause must have some impact on her mental state.

"Irritable, easy to get angry, irritable, depression, suspicious, etc., roughly speaking, it means that people have a worse temper and are even more unreasonable. These are all external manifestations of menopause. This is a disease." Perhaps, the Baye will feel better if he says so.

Sure enough, as soon as this was said, Eighth Master sat upright, leaned forward, and looked at Lin Yutong with his eyes shining, "I still have such a disease, which is unheard of."

"Every woman has it, after entering her thirties and forties, she has different performances. But some people have a lighter performance, while others have a heavier performance. If life is good, husband cares about her, children are filial, and everything goes well, this performance will be mild or even non-existent. If life is stressful and the relationship with her husband is tense, because children are upset about things, and there are always unsatisfactory things. Maybe this performance will be much heavier, making people look like they have changed..." The more detailed Lin Tianyue said, the brighter the Eighth Master's eyes will be. It turns out that the concubine has not changed, she is just sick. She is just sick, and she takes medicine when she is sick, and she has to look at the doctor when she is sick, and she can always cure it. "Is there a prescription?"

Lin Yutong shook her head, where is there any prescription? The prescription for relieving qi is actually the right symptom.

The Eighth Master's eyes dimmed, and then he smiled again, "Yes! Not all diseases can be cured in this world. Understand! Understand. But it doesn't matter, it's just sick..." As long as you don't have your life, you'll be sick when you're sick. Just take care of yourself when you're sick.

Even if it cannot be cured, his heart will feel relaxed for no reason.

Seeing the eighth master leaving with brisk steps, Lin Yutong sighed a little. The couple is not that kind of thing. But the relationship between men and women is not just that. If you are unhappy with them, sometimes you feel that it is a torture for each other. But if you want to separate, you can't bear to let it go.

Not to mention the person involved in this kind of relationship, even outsiders can see it, they feel very abused.

Lin Yutong was not envious at all. In her opinion, it felt good to be like an old couple like the Fourth Master.

It’s the Chinese New Year, and the Queen Mother has taken it back. Not to mention, the Fourth Master’s method is really good. The Queen Mother is so energetic that she is not only full of voice but also her legs and feet look neat.

Wanyan muttered to Lin Yutong in a low voice, "How is that bad? The young grandsons who scolded our family every day were no longer afraid of seeing his grandfather. This is not all, they are really angry, and they always beat him with a stick."

Lin Yutong laughed: "What's the matter again in Fourteen?"

What can be done?

I was so idle these days ago. I was so old that I had to skate on the lake at home. Who knew that the young grandsons in my family were naughty. They had fished in the ice holes on the lake before. After fishing, they gently covered the ice lumps on it. The gap could be bigger when the day was slightly warm. It looked okay, but if you really touched it, it would fall down. Then my grandson was so old that his grandson was too old, so he went skating. Then he dropped the pit dug for his grandson. The water in the pond was not deep, and it was okay if it fell, but his whole body was wet. It was cold in this cold weather, and in the ice hole, you can think of how hot it was. After changing his clothes, he drank the soup and felt that it was not

It's up to you, I grabbed a few grandsons and took off their pants and beat them up. But the child was also wronged. Playing at home, right? They knew that they would ask people to see if the ice was solid? Why didn't Mafa know? They were not afraid of them, Mafa, and the children were like this. The more they like to tease them, the older they were, they could not be afraid of them? This beating would not be rebellious. A few boys didn't want their pants, and ran out with their butts naked, and then chased them. That scene could not be watched. The three boys were not all fools, and they really couldn't do it. They ran into the Queen Mother's house. Now, Mafa chased them over and was a knot.

The Queen Mother's voice was so loud: "I'm asking you to be disrespectful..."

Lin Yutong felt Coke just by listening to it, and was beaten by her mother in front of her grandson. This is really... "Look at how he will talk about it in the future?"

Wanyan said that, and asked his grandson to come forward to see Lin Yutong, "This is Yongzhong, the eldest son of the Hongming family."

Hongming was born by Wanyan and married her niece from her parents' family. This child is Wanyan's grandson.

The five or six-year-old child looked very well-behaved. Lin Yutong called over and asked a few words, gave him a gift, and called Hongsheng over, "Take your nephew to play."

Hongsheng is very familiar with the grandsons of the Fourteenth. Recently, the empress dowager lives in the Sisi Mansion, so Hongsheng lives there for half a month. He is young and can play with the grandsons of the Fourteenth. Therefore, he is very happy to see the emperor's mother calling to take Yongzhong to play. He is not very familiar with other children. So he greeted Yongkun and went out hand in hand.

This time, many people brought their grandson into the palace. Even if they were just carrying them in, they would be a large area together. Anyway, Lin Yutong gave two boxes just to give the meeting gift.

The Fourth Master seemed a little embarrassed. When they started showing off their grandson, his son and daughter were still breastfeeding.

You have to show off your grandson, so far, he is only Yongkun.

So after the palace banquet, the Fourth Master called a few sons with the alcohol, which seemed like a military parade. There was a row from Hongshi to Hongsheng. There was a row lying beside him, and the line was very neat, with four standing and four lying.

"...Ama is not urging you...but this offspring is also a big deal..."

Hongshi said in his heart, don’t I have Yongkun? Uncle Eight only has Hongwang, and no one said anything.

Dong E, who was accompanying Lin Yutong through the curtain, was stirring the handkerchief, and tears were almost falling. Lin Yutong glared at him, "Why are you crying? It's not just a scolding him, why are you crying?"

Dong E is very grateful to Lin Yutong, really! During the talent show, a show girl didn't even give her a guide to her house. Concubine Qi in the palace burns incense and chants Buddha's name all day long. I heard that the people who are on night in the palace are Concubine Qi, who is afraid that burning incense will cause fire accidentally, and it makes everyone know that nothing happened to her for several years. The pressure is also very great. Now even Master Long Sui has urged him, what should I do in the future?

Lin Yutong thought this wine was really not a good thing. I drank a little more today, so why did I talk so much? Look at it that I was so angry.

When the fourth master glared here, he noticed it through the curtain. He immediately changed his voice and was very gentle to Hongshi, "...Of course, Ama didn't say to you..."

Hongli said in his heart that it was not what Hongshi could mean. Hongzhou has not gotten married yet, and the date of marriage is set on February 2nd. There is still one month left, and there is no child to do with Hongzhou. After seeing again, Hongsheng's baby was still staring at him. He was just a little taller than the kang, and was tiptoing to look at the four people spitting bubbles on the kang.

Then that's mine.

He felt a little inferior when he had no son. He understood Uncle Eight's mood a little.

Hong Shizhen didn't say anything about him. The honest child stepped back and sat down to the chair next to him, seeing how he scolded Hongli. Hongzhou looked at it and seemed that he had nothing to do with him. He took Hongsheng and put him on the kang of the quadruplets, and went to play with his younger brother and sister together.

Hongli stood alone.

Hongli had nothing, but Fucha was restrained here and whispered to Lin Yutong: "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the sister of the Ulanara family will be brought into the palace. Maybe her belly is strong and she can add a man and a half woman to our master."

Dong E looked at Fucha several times. Are you stupid?

The Fourth Master really doesn't want to care about Hongli, but the Empress Dowager's words are not unreasonable. Hongli is not stupid, but... He is just a teenager now... After a long time of silence, the Fourth Master said: "Don't mess with the money. I have paid back the money for you, but there is one thing, the money is not paid for in vain. In the future, the salary and rewards you should receive will be your share, but at the same time, the debt will be collected. When will you pay it back and when will you receive the salary and rewards? Do you have no objection to this?"

Of course not.

Hongli was happy, and Emperor Ama couldn't bear it anymore, "Thank you for the grace of Emperor Ama."

"Don't rush to thank you." The Fourth Master looked at Hongli with a deep meaning, "You know my temper. You should collect the money you should collect in the future, and you should not collect the money you should not collect. If I ask you to know..."

"I dare not." Hongli felt that he was not that stupid. He could not do anything that ruined his future for money, even if he beat him to death, "I definitely dare not."

Just don't dare.

"Remember what I said today." The corner of the Fourth Master's mouth gently raised, "There will be no salary in the future, but the errands you should do must not be missing. You can do whatever you want in the future. You are a man who has become a family. You are filial to your parents and support your family. These are all your duties. Can you do it?"

Why can’t the farmers do what they do?

Hongli's face turned red, feeling underestimated, and his chest was a little bulging, "Yes! My son can do it."

Hongzhou was holding gauze to wipe the saliva from the corner of Hongjing's mouth while complaining, just blow it. Do you really think that money from outside is so easy to make?

Originally, this matter was over, but who knew that Hongshi Shen had made a deal and asked Hongzhou, "I heard your sister-in-law say that you have given the emperor Ama and the emperor's mother a monthly payment. How much is it for a month? The same son is not the reason why you don't give me this brother."

The Fourth Master didn't say anything. Even if he had good fortune, he didn't have much pocket money. Having a son with a few filial piety is counted on, but he was really watching it with such a big eye.

Hongzhou laughed and stretched out a finger.

When Hongli saw that this time he was not behind, he shouted, "Isn't a thousand taels too little?"
To be continued...
