Qianxi No. 2 Institute, main house.

Fucha sat on the kang with a rattle in his hand.

Seeing this, Mama Gui sighed and said, "Fujin, Xiao Gege has gone...... The master still needs to take care of his body, and when he is out of the filial piety period, he will add a sturdy little brother......"

The corners of Fucha's mouth were a little more sarcastic: "Even if you give birth to an elder brother, you are still a second elder brother...... The eldest son is not a grandchild, and the eldest son is not a grandchild...... I now understand what it means to be good for me, but for the sake of the Fucha family...... Why was the king of Zhijun able to compete with Prince Limi back then, isn't it just to occupy the position of the eldest son? Where is my help, I am used to pretending to be honest, that is my great enemy......"

Seeing that the more Fucha said it, the more resentful it became, Mama Gui hurriedly said: "Gege is cautious ...... words"

Fucha snorted coldly, listened to the persuasion in the end, and said no more.

Although as the prince's concubine Fujin, she looks infinitely beautiful, but she is young and young, and the city government is limited.

Coupled with filial piety, in addition to being married for three days, the husband and wife have been separated until now.

As the daughter of the Fucha family, even if she marries into the royal family, she feels that there is nothing she can't look up to.

She had long known that her husband, as a prince, would not belong only to herself, but she didn't expect that pretending to be virtuous would torture people like this.

Even if she looked down on those clothed women in her heart, she had to admit that they were more beautiful, more supple, and more suitable for her husband than herself.

Although her husband handed over the housekeeping of the two institutes to her and respected her as a wife, he did not hide the favor of the concubine.

Mama Gui knew that her own Fujin had a deep knot for Fuchagege, but in the elder brother's office, the two of them could not fight among themselves, otherwise they could only cheapen others, so she diverged and said: "Fujin, the fourth master went to the house of Fujin yesterday......"

Although there are many concubines in Elder Brother, so far, there is only one who has the title of Shufujin.

Fucha raised his eyebrows and said, "Staying overnight?" ”

"No, but the master only came out when he was close to his son, and he still stayed in the study......" Gui Mama said.

Although the fourth elder brother has no brothers here, because Brother Fuhui died young, even if it is barely considered a funeral, the relatives surrendered to mourning, but it was only a light mourning, except for the original palace ban Bai Nasan, the fourth elder brother did not serve.

Although Cao Jia's family is in service, if there is a case, it will be the Cao family's face that will be lost.

Fucha wants her to lose face, where will she stop her?

Now that I heard Mama Gui say that the fourth elder brother still returned to the study, Fucha's was not interested, and said: "The master wants to cage the Cao family, Mama picks a few gifts and sends someone to send them to Cao Jia's ......."

Seeing that the Fucha clan didn't take Cao Jia's family to heart, Mama Gui swallowed back the words that the Cao family had been in the limelight all these years.

Forget it, after looking at it for more than a year, Cao Shu Fujin is really not troublesome, and now there are already a few restless ones, why should the remaining honest one be forced to become an enemy.

Although the Cao family's hand can't reach out to the palace, several aunts and grandmothers of the Cao family are married to the clan.

If Fujin and Cao Shu Fujin face each other, who knows what gossip will come out of the clan...... * backyard, in the five-child room.

Chun Cheng closed the jewelry box and said happily: "Master, the master has rewarded things again...... The box will be filled with ......"

Wu'er smiled and continued to do the needlework on his hands. It's a small tiger head shoe, but Chengren is half a palm big, extremely delicate, and it looks like it's for a little baby.

Chuncheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, Yuwang Fujin's delivery date is still half a year away, why don't you let it go first...... The slave maid looked, the fourth master's purse was a little old......"

Wu'er said disapplausively: "How many people in these two institutes want to make purses for the fourth master, where can I take my turn?" ”

Chuncheng hurriedly said: "What about the queen mother and Concubine Xi?" The master must always come close to be filial and honorable......"

In the early years, before Chang Fujin entered the door, Wu'er was in charge of the palace affairs of the elder brother, and he often went to the two palaces to ask for peace.

Since he entered the door, Wu'er was like an invisible person, and he never moved forward.

Wu'er put down the needle and thread in his hand, looked at Chuncheng, and didn't speak for a while.

Chuncheng felt that his face was red, and he couldn't stand anymore, so he knelt down and said: "The slave is too talkative, please punish the master......"

Since she entered the palace, Chuncheng has served her, and the two have been in love for many years.

Wu'er knew that Chuncheng was just watching those Gege concubines get favored and was anxious for herself.

But she knew that her opponents had never been those Gege, concubines, or Fucha Fujin.

In the past few years of entering the palace, she has watched carefully, which makes her understand that in this palace, the so-called "Lord of the Six Palaces" is all virtual, in fact, there is only one master.

Now he is Emperor Yongzheng, and he may be the fourth elder brother in the future.

Other people, whether they are the so-called "wives", or the concubines who are "more precious than their mothers and children", or the late concubines who have won the favor of the emperor, are just "foxes" in the "fox fake tiger might", and they all borrow the power of the emperor.

And the harem is closely related to the previous dynasty.

Before the Nian family was defeated, the queen also had to avoid the edge of the Nian concubine; "The two horses eat all the grass in the world", so the daughter of the Fucha family can be the prince and concubine; The Gao family of the Internal Affairs Office is the emperor's confidant and important minister, taking care of Jiangnan weaving, and a few days ago, he was promoted to political envoy, and the fourth elder brother treated Gao's favor gradually became apparent...... Even himself, because he has a few good brothers, isn't Fujin polite, and isn't the fourth elder brother's attitude getting softer and softer?

It's just that for the palace maid, the power of the family outside the palace brings not only dependence, but also a blade.

is like a young concubine who fell quickly after the family lost power...... From the Cao family to the palace, Wu'er has seen only a limited number of men, but she has seen too many women.

Elders, sisters-in-law, sisters...... Wu'er was a little happy in his heart, and he once thought with a red face that no matter what kind of family he married, he must take his sisters-in-law and sisters as an example and be a wife who is both happy and praised.

But creation made people, she entered the palace without choice and became a concubine next to the prince.

The ones she played in elementary school, the ones she secretly imitated, suddenly became a joke.

The only thing she had left was that little bit of astuteness and eyesight, which made her survive peacefully...... Even if her biological parents died early and her mother-in-law was not close, she never forgot the love given to her by the people of the Cao family and the two mansions.

The deeper the hills and valleys in her heart, the more careful she became, because she knew that she was not an ordinary married girl, and it was impossible for her to break off her relationship with the Cao family. If you make a wrong step, you will not only be doomed, but also affect your family members...... She looked at Chuncheng and said softly, "Fujin will not let the concubine get pregnant again...... It's not necessarily a good thing to have too many favors right now......"

Chuncheng was almost surprised, hurriedly covered his mouth, and whispered: "Master, Fujin really dares to ......"

Wu'er also whispered: "If you don't dare, why are there no movements at all?" It's just a soup to avoid children, what is common? ”

Chun Cheng swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and pointed in the direction of the study: "What about Gao?" ”

I don't know if the fourth elder brother saved face for Fujin, or for other reasons, when he was in the elder brother's office, only half a month stayed in the concubine's room in January, and the other half a month stayed in the study.

It's funny to say, there is also someone on duty in the study, that is, Gao's.

At present, the two institutes have some meaning of dividing the world, Fucha Fujin and Fucha Gege, Su Gege and Jin Gege, and the handmaiden Gao.

Wu'er was not outstanding in appearance and was not favored, but he was able to stay out of the matter for a while.

But Gao's is only a handmaiden, but she can stand firmly, which shows the prosperity of love. She is only fifteen years old, she is immature, but she has a deep relationship with the fourth elder brother.

Her sister Da Gao was also elected to the palace in her early years, and became one of the palace maids of the fourth elder brother's teaching and introduction of sexual affairs, and was the first woman of the fourth elder brother, and was deeply favored by the fourth elder brother.

It was only because the queen didn't like it that she didn't get promoted. Hongli had already promised that when Chang Fujin entered the door, he would raise the identity of the Da Gao clan.

I don't want to wait for Hongli's wedding, and Da Gao's family died.

The Gao family had no intention of sending the girl into the palace again, but the old love of Hongli was unforgettable, so he made a special trip to the Gao family, saw the Gao family, fell into the eyes, and implored the Gao family to be sent into the palace.

Originally, Hongli wanted to raise Gao's Gegege, but since he saw Fuchagege, Jin's, Su and others making rules in front of Fucha's, he extinguished this thought, and instead put Gao's as a handmaiden in the study to wait.

In this way, even if the Fucha clan is qualified to manage the concubines of the elder brother, it is not good to point fingers at the people around her husband.

Wu'er blinked, and said a little mischievously: "If she Ama hadn't been promoted to be a political envoy, maybe Fujin would be ...... Since she Ama has been promoted to political envoy, Fu Jin is afraid that she will not be at ease......"

* Tongzhou, wharf.

Lang Yu followed her sister, looked at the unstable father in front of her, leaned on the fourth uncle, and whispered, "Sister, what's wrong with my father?" ”

Lang Chao said in a hoarse voice: "Xu is too sad......"

Cao Song is sad, but now he is leaning on Cao Xiang, but he is thanks to Cao Hao.

Because of these things at home, Cao Hao was physically and mentally exhausted, and he had no patience to coax Cao Song to eat anymore.

He just put on the identity of the patriarch, and directly convicted his cousin of a few "sins", "unfilial piety, unkindness, injustice" and the like, and then took a rattan and whipped Cao Song twenty times with his own hands.

Cao Song gritted his teeth at first, but then he couldn't stand it anymore, and he jumped up and down to avoid it, but it added freshness.

Cao Hao held his breath for a while, vented once, and finally felt more comfortable.

Cao Song was smoked, but he began to eat and drink honestly, which made Cao Hao hateful.

The big guy couldn't cry or laugh, in the end he saved some face in front of his juniors.

Therefore, the younger generation does not know the details.

Today, Jinghui's coffin arrived in Beijing, Cao Hao did not come, Cao's family room came over Chu Yu, Changsheng, Hengsheng, and the second room came over Cao Song's father and daughter, Cao Xiang, Tianhu, and Tianyang.

Changsheng and Hengsheng's uncle and nephew also saw Cao Song's abnormality, and Changsheng said worriedly: "The second brother can't even ride a horse, and he can't stand on his feet now...... After a while, the coffin of the second sister-in-law arrived, what should I do if I can't stand it? ”

Hengsheng is the most realistic, only when Cao Song is really ruined, he frowned and said, "What else?" Let's persuade more......"

Tianhu and Tianyang were beside them, and they felt uncomfortable.

The two of them are widowed sons and concubines, and they have been cared for by Jinghui for many years, and they also really love Jinghui's aunt.

It was getting dark, and the passenger ship carrying Jinghui's coffin finally docked...... The temple set by the Cao family is the Wuta Temple outside the Xizhi Gate, which is the closest to the city and cheap to enter and exit.

Many of the officials and relatives who died in office were stopped here, and Cao Xiang got the funeral letter, so he personally came to see the abbot and decided to stop the funeral here.

Today, the coffin will arrive in Tongzhou, and it will be transported back to the Wuta Temple on the same day.

Cao Fang and the two housekeepers of the East Mansion had already passed by, set up the curtain of the mourning hall, and the guest house was also cleaned.

There are fifty-five miles of road from Tongzhou Wharf to Xizhimen, and because of the carriage that pulls the coffin, it can not go fast, until the sky is about to twilight, and everyone arrives at the Wuta Temple.

Chu Yu looked at Tianwang with a wilted expression, and he was not at ease in the end.

Tianwang is the eldest son, and it stands to reason that he should keep the spirit in front of the mourning hall until the funeral. But after all, he is only a four-year-old child, and he has encountered such a big change and has gone through the hardships of the journey.

Chu Yu thought about it, and then called Cao Song to him: "The second old lady is most worried about Tianwang, the eldest grandson, since Tianwang has arrived in Beijing, let his eldest brother take him into the city to greet the second old lady first, and then start the vigil when he comes back." ”

The cousin-in-law commanded, and it was related to filial piety, and Cao Song had nothing to say.

Seeing that it was time to close the city gate, Tianyou did not delay any longer, leaving Hengsheng and Changsheng to help here, and brought Tianwang into the city.

In Cao's house, Zhao Jia's eyes were already looking forward to it, and he was talking to Li about Tianwang.

Although the Li family pities the loss of his mother and nephew, of course, he is more concerned about his own grandson.

Tianyou is just a half-grown child, and he doesn't talk about it when he goes far away, but he still takes care of such a big thing.

When Tianyou brought Tianwang over, Zhaojia and Li were both happy and sadly pulled their grandson to him.

Tianyou went to Jiangnan twice this year, and last time he followed the prince's brother, but he was just an entourage, but this time he was in charge of family affairs as a son, and his bearing was different, and he looked more and more stable.

When Li saw it, he felt relieved, and kept nodding and saying "good boy".

Zhao Jiashi couldn't help it, hugged Tianwang in his arms, and cried "woo".

Tianwang has already remembered, when he first saw his grandmother, he was still restrained, and this kung fu remembered people, hugged Zhao Jia's neck, and cried "wow...... Since Jinghui's coffin arrived in Beijing, the Cao family closed the family for funeral.

Except for the two elders of the Li family and the Zhaojia family, who were not able to toss because of their old age, everyone else was busy.

Chu Yu and Chunhua take turns every two days, taking care of their two nieces in Wuta Temple and receiving female guests; Here, Cao Xiang and Tianyou took turns to receive the guests of the sacrifice on behalf of the Cao family.

Tianwang was left in Cao's house for two days, and after his spirit slowed down, he was still sent to Wuta Temple.

Cao Hao also went out of the city every once in a while to see his cousin and nieces and nephews.

Because there are elders in the second room, Jinghui can only stop for thirty-five days.

In this way, the "first seventh", "third seventh", and "fifth seventh" will have to be done in a big way.

Not to mention, God's wedding date is bound to be extended.

At the end of August, the two families set the wedding date for early October. But now, due to the white matter in the second room, Tianyou has to serve five months of small work, and the marriage date has to be postponed.

As early as the funeral letter reached the capital, Cao Hao personally went to Prince Jian's mansion to mention the matter, and the tentative marriage date was postponed until next year, and the specific date is to be determined.

Now that Tianyou is in Beijing, in addition to going home, the second stop is Prince Jane's Mansion.

Dading was postponed, and marriage was postponed, although they all had to be postponed, but it was strange that Yaerjiang A-Neng was happy.

It's not that I can't wait to marry my daughter, but I just feel that the marriage between the two families is too unsmooth, and I feel a little embarrassed.

It's just that Cao Hao is the future father-in-law of Liugege, and Yaerjianga is dissatisfied, and it is not easy to turn his face with him; When Tianyou came, looking at his forehead and eyebrows and eyes were tired, Yaerjianga couldn't say anything about the prison in his stomach, and asked two words lukewarmly, but he choked enough.

When Tianyou left, Yarjianga couldn't help but complain to his wife: "Did you pick the wrong person?" Zhen'er used to be the eldest daughter-in-law...... If you really want to talk about it, there are really not many eldest daughters-in-law in this noble family...... The second wife of the Cao family, I heard that she is not very old......"

Yongjiayuan was also a little uncomfortable because of the postponement of the marriage, but after listening to her husband's words, she couldn't cry or laugh: "Why did you think of this?" Although Zhen'er is married as the eldest daughter-in-law, the population of Cao's family is simple, and it is cleaner than that of a small family......"

Yarjiang said angrily: "What's wrong with fewer people? The mother-in-law on the upper two floors, neither of which can be neglected. The sister-in-law and brother-in-law below are all ...... When you go out in the seventh or eighth grid, you must find someone who is more worry-free......"

When Yongjia heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Yarjianga squinted at her and said, "What are you laughing at?" It's just cheap, the stinky boy of the Cao family......"

Yongjia said: "I was thinking, if you really choose your aunt according to the prince's choice, I'm afraid I can only find it in the book......"

Yarjianga raised his eyebrows: "In the book, which book is ......?"

Yongjia said: ""Journey to the West", the monkey in it jumped out of the stone and was born to raise ......"

Yarjianga was choked speechless, and it took a while before he snorted twice and said: ""Journey to the West" is [***], I didn't expect Fujin, who attaches the most importance to the rules, to watch [***] out of the ordinary......"

This time, it was Yongjia who was choked speechless...... The deceased is gone.

No matter how heavy the pain is, it will fade little by little as time passes.

Jinghui's coffin arrived in Beijing on September 23, stopped at the Wuta Temple for 35 days, and was funeral on October 28.

Bai Cheng was too hard, and when Jinghui's coffin was put into the ground, Cao Hao and Chu Yu were faintly relieved.

Whether it is an adult or a child, they have reached the limit, and if they continue, I am afraid that they will not be able to endure it.

Because it was a funeral gift, Jinghui was given the last ride, except for the five sons in the palace, several aunts and grandmothers of the Cao family who got married came to send the last trip.

This made the people who came to the sacrifice really realize the power of the aunt and grandmother who was married by the Cao family.

Earlier, I saw that Cao Hao was sick and weak, and Cao Song wanted to fall into the well at the threshold of the lawsuit, but now he is secretly happy.

Even if the men of the Cao family are not successful, with the two aunts and grandmothers as the main mothers of the prince's mansion, they can take care of their mother's family for ten years and eight years.

You must know that the flag people value their in-laws, and the in-laws, in-laws, and brothers-in-law are all noble relatives. Inevitably, some people were moved and inquired about the girl who had not left the Cao family.

When they knew that there were only five sisters of the older generation, and the fifth had entered the palace as the prince's concubine, everyone could only sigh.

The girls of the younger generation, the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the long house has been set for the university scholar's mansion, and the two daughters of the second room are going to miss the draft period for next year because of their mother's funeral.

No matter how evil Cao Song's gossip about sins was in front of him, just looking at Cao Song sending his wife as a first-class guard, everyone knew in their hearts that the holy family of the Cao family was there.

The women who came to pay tribute, someone inquired about the age of Sister Langchao, and knew that even if Rongyu was postponed next year, she would have to participate in the draft four years later, so she set her eyes on Rongchao.

There is an article in the "five don't marry" that "widows and eldest daughters don't marry", but the tide is already 14 this year, and it will be in time next year, and the upbringing is visible, and the "no precepts" is really not right.

Although there is no reason for filial piety to say kiss, there are still a few families who give a very heavy meeting gift, and there is some tone in the words.

Although Cao Hao had already decided to refuse, it was not good to bypass Cao Song, and he still mentioned Cao Song.

Cao Song only snorted coldly and said: "It's just a good word, if you really have that heart, why isn't it the eldest son, and can't you be the daughter-in-law of the Li family?" Li Xingyuan is not very old, so why wait for three years? ”

Seeing that his words were not clear, Cao Hao frowned and said, "If it is Li Xingyuan, the second brother will nod?" ”

Cao Song hurriedly shook his head and said, "Big brother, I'll just say that, who is rare and the Li family can't succeed...... There are many concubines in the inner courtyard of the Li family, who knows if the little ones will learn from each other? ”

Although Cao Hao complained about Li Wei in his heart, he didn't want his cousin to have a knot, and said: "Li Wei and we are not all the way, it is not mine, and I encourage you to get close to him...... In the future, it's better to stay away......"

Cao Song looked stunned, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice: "I know ......."

From the end of September to the end of October, the Cao family was busy with white affairs, and the major event on the side of the court was the "Nine White Tribute" of the Khalkha kings.

This time, the "Nine White Tribute" was different from previous years, not the envoys, but several young princes.

Although the emperor's plan to redivide the Khalkha forces has not yet been implemented, both the Chechen Khan and the Tushetu have close intentions to the imperial court.

Perhaps, in their hearts, they are more willing to maintain a relationship with the imperial court, but the prince of the Khan of the Zasaktu Department is stationed in Beijing and marries the princess, which has to attract their attention.

The three Khalkha departments were originally standing on their feet.

If one of them is too heavily supported by the imperial court, it will not be a good thing for the other two.

The Chechen Khan and Tushetu Khan coincidentally moved the idea of sending the prince of their headquarters to Beijing to propose marriage.

Several unmarried Mongol princes of appropriate age went to Beijing with their envoys to pay tribute, and brought the courtship of the two khans to the kings.

Yongzheng originally planned to break the situation of the three Khalkha tribes and expand the influence of the imperial court, but he was afraid of causing a stir, so he acted cautiously and waited for a good opportunity.

In particular, the two Khans were worried that the weight would not be enough, and those who were sent to Beijing this time were the eldest sons of the princes and princes of the main department, who had the right to inherit, thinking that even if they could not catch up with the weight of the prince of Zasaktu Khan, they would not be far behind, so as to be eligible to match the emperor's other daughter.

They didn't know that because the emperor had suffered the loss of his son a few days ago, they thought of the thirteenth elder brother, and they had already made a decision in their hearts to keep the fourth princess in Beijing as much as possible.

But the three adopted daughters of the royal family, the first two of which are all in Mongolia, there is no reason why the daughter of the closest brother family has to be pointed to the capital.

In that case, I don't know what gossip the clan will come out of.

Originally, Yongzheng didn't think about the Khalkha side, just thinking that it was really not good, so he chose a son who did not accept the title among the princes and disciples of Horqin, in that case, without the responsibility of guarding the land, he could stay in the capital, but it was difficult to hide his selfishness, and it seemed a little ugly.

The sons sent by the two Khans have the right to inherit, and they will either inherit the prince throne or the county throne in the future, even if they are not the sons of the Khan, their identities are almost the same.

There is a Hang Seng, why can't there be a second?

After thinking about it in his heart, Yongzheng still decided to focus on the children of the Tushetu Khan Department.

Since it is necessary to give Ling a population to the Tushetu Khan Department, it is most appropriate to contain it internally in order to prevent Tushetu Khan from moving.

With this plan, Yongzheng handed over the matter of entertaining the Khalkha envoy to Hongli, and ordered the eldest brother and the fourth elder brother of Prince Yi's mansion to assist in the matter......

(To be continued)
