Chapter 27
Chapter 27
The fourteenth brother's eyes are shining, the fourth brother's backyard is on fire, and the opportunity to watch the fun has come!
"Ahem, fourth brother." Fourteenth elder brother held back his smile, "What's the matter at home? Is fourth sister-in-law treating you badly?"
I hope that the fourth sister-in-law is a tigress and take good care of the fourth brother.
The fourth elder brother's face turned dark all of a sudden, and Concubine De patted the fourteenth elder brother on the back.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Concubine De pushed her youngest son and told him to go to the next door to eat some snacks, to avoid it for a while.This is a secret matter in the fourth elder brother's backyard, and the fourteenth elder brother had better not listen to it.
Brother Fourteen doesn't want to leave, he hasn't seen the excitement yet!He was lying on De Concubine's lap and twisted and acted like a baby, De Concubine stared at him sternly, Fourteenth Brother reluctantly went out.
The fourth elder brother lowered his eyes and rubbed his hands on his knees.Er Niang would never get along with him in such an intimate way, and he would never lie on Er Niang's lap and act like a spoiled child.There is too much separation between their mother and child, and they are destined not to be intimate.
Concubine De smoothed the folds of her clothes, "I heard something about your backyard. I heard that you had a fight with Si Fujin. Don't you like her very much? Why did you quarrel?"
When Concubine De said this, she was complaining.Since the fourth elder brother got married, he has been resting in the main room, leaving Li Gege and Song Gege behind, and only has Shuwan in his eyes.
But Concubine De especially doesn't like Shuwan, she is not the kind of gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law that Concubine De wants at all.
She thought that if she sent Nanny Ning to elder brother's office and taught Si Fujin how to do things, fourth elder brother would understand what she meant, but fourth elder brother didn't give Ning mother any face at all, and still protected Shuwan everywhere.
Concubine De sneered, she didn't listen to the old man's words, she was at a disadvantage.Let you spoil Fujin, now you will be punished!
"Emiang is not an evil mother-in-law. As long as your daughter-in-law is honest and responsible, no matter how many shortcomings she has, Emiang will not care about her. She will love her as her own daughter. But look at your daughter-in-law. With her eloquence, if the elders say a word, she will reply. Go out and see, whose daughter-in-law dares to talk to the mother-in-law like that?"
The fourth elder brother frowned, he didn't expect their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have such a deep conflict.When he came, Shuwan repeatedly told him to speak ill of her, but the fourth elder brother really didn't want to open his mouth to slander Shuwan.
He thinks Shuwan is very good, lively and playful, sincere, straightforward, and never engages in nonsense.
Concubine De saw Si elder brother frowning and not speaking, she couldn't help sneering, "Look at your frowning, I say your daughter-in-law, you don't want to listen?"
The fourth elder brother came back to his senses and quickly denied it, "No, what Er Niang said is correct. My son didn't rest well last night, so he was a little distracted."
The fourth elder brother didn't protect Shuwan, and Concubine De turned from anger to joy.
"I heard from the emperor that the courses of riding and archery have increased recently. You are working harder than before. You have to take care of your health! You must be in a good mood after arguing with Fujin. Go tonight... just go to Li Gege's place to rest." You must not wrong yourself! If you are so distracted when riding a horse, what will you do if you fall?"
Fourth elder brother: "The little elder brother's illnesses come and go, Li Gege has to take care of the child. Song Gege has a bad heart, I don't bother to talk to her."
Concubine De hurriedly said: "I'll reward you again! When you return home exhausted, there must be someone who knows what's cold and what's hot to take care of you!"
"Emiang, I have been married to Fujin for less than half a year."
"Ah!" Concubine De sighed, "Look at me, I'm in a daze!"
It's normal for a mother-in-law to put people in her son's room, but she usually doesn't give concubines to newlyweds. Isn't this obviously trying to provoke their relationship between husband and wife?
Concubine De is a shameless person, she immediately stopped thinking about giving it away.
Before the fourth elder brother left the house, Shuwan was worried about him, so she specially wrote a piece of paper, which was full of her shortcomings.The fourth elder brother can just write it down, and he doesn't need to use his own brain.
"Shuwan's mouth is bad. When she doesn't speak, no one can fault her etiquette. Once she speaks, it makes people angry."
Concubine De empathized with her, wishing she could clap her hands in agreement. "That's it!"
The fourth elder brother recalled the content on the paper, and added his own understanding.
"Shuwan just looks good on the outside, but she is actually a stupid person."
Concubine De disagreed with her son's statement, "She's stupid? She couldn't be more shrewd!"
The fourth elder brother said: "It's just that she looks shrewd at the beginning, and you'll know it after getting along for a long time. She can do so-so knitting. What others can do in three days, she has to do in seven days. No matter what you do, it's slow. You Ask her to copy Buddhist scriptures, and she has been devoutly copying them every night for so many days, and she hasn't finished copying one book yet."
"I've heard her say this, is she really so slow?"
The fourth elder brother made a tired and helpless look, "It was slower than Eniang imagined! Eniang asked her to take care of the two children, and she moved to the backyard, watching the children while doing housework. My yard is only as big as it can be. How many things are there? It's just children and housework, so she is as busy as a spinning top, and she can't take care of my business."
Concubine De was very surprised, "It turned out to be like this!"
The fourth elder brother sighed: "Mother Ning taught her to serve my husband, she tied my buttons, which made my neck hurt, and braided my hair, grabbed several strands of hair, and finally the maid combed it again, otherwise I would not be able to see people She is really stupid! Er Niang thinks carefully, if she is smart, she will serve you respectfully, how dare she make you angry?"
Concubine De felt that what her son said was reasonable, but something seemed wrong.
Fourth elder brother: "Her cleverness is all about her eloquence. When she pleases others, her mouth is as sweet as honey, and when she is angry, her mouth is like a knife."
Concubine De nodded vigorously, feeling that her son's conclusion was too correct.
The fourth elder brother asked: "Emiang, can you take back your promise and let Nanny Ning return to Yonghe Palace? She wants to train Fujin to be a virtuous and virtuous wife, but Fujin doesn't have that talent. She is so busy now, I don't have the energy to take care of my affairs at all. I'm so tired every day that I really don't have the energy to take care of her."
After all, Concubine De loves her son, "Okay, I will do as you wish. From now on, Fujin will only take care of you, and don't need her to worry about anything else."
She sighed, "It really echoes the old saying, smart people are slaves of stupid people, your Fujin is a blessed one."
The fourth elder brother laughed, "There is an old saying, I would rather fight with a smart person than say a word with a stupid person. Shuwan is not smart, Er Niang just ignore her."
Concubine De thought to herself: Apart from ignoring her, what else can I do?She is the daughter-in-law chosen by the emperor, and she has not made any serious mistakes, so she cannot be divorced.well!With such a daughter-in-law, I can only bear it.Four elder brothers and the others will move out in two years. She is out of sight and out of mind, but fourth elder brother suffers.
Concubine De asked her son to come closer, she took the fourth elder brother's hand and explained him in a chattering manner.
"There is no perfect person in this world. Although your Fujin is stupid, I think it is better than Sanfujin and Wufujin. Sanfujin is better at pinching points, while Wufujin is clumsy and tongue-tied. They are not as good as your wife! If you don't like her , then stay away from her and don't always quarrel with her. Quarreling is easy to get angry, she gets angry, and you get angry too, which is not good for your health. "
The fourth elder brother nodded again and again, indicating that he was educated.
He looked at the hands he held with his mother, who had never been this close since he could remember.
When he was a child, he had a very bad temper, like burning charcoal. Huang Ama said that he was capricious and moody.In order to please Huang Ama, he gradually changed his temper and kept all his emotions in his heart.
He will not express joy and sorrow like the fourteenth brother, and Er Niang is also a reserved person, and she will not take the initiative to approach him when she sees his cold face.
So... does it depend on Fujin to promote the relationship between mother and child?
Concubine De took the fourth elder brother's hand and chattered, her close maid reminded softly: "Your Majesty, it's almost time."
Concubine De let go of the fourth elder brother's hand, "Look at me, I was so focused on talking that I forgot the time."
She ordered the fourteenth elder brother to be invited, told him to eat well and study hard, and let him go back with the fourth elder brother.
The fourteenth elder brother complained dissatisfiedly, "Emiang just talked to the fourth brother and forgot about me."
Thinking that not only did he miss Fourth Brother's joke, but also he didn't have a few words with Er Niang, Fourteenth Brother's mouth was pouted.
Concubine De said apologetically: "When you come to pay your respects next time, Er Niang will just talk with you, okay? Go back quickly! You can't stay in the harem for too long."
The fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother saluted and bid farewell together, and Concubine De stood at the door, watching them leave.The backs of the two brothers could not be seen, and Concubine De turned around and went back to the house in a sense of loss.
"Go and send someone to tell Nanny Ning to come back! I sent someone there with the intention of helping Si elder brother, but unexpectedly it caused him a lot of trouble."
The palace maid took the order, Concubine De picked up the tea cup to moisten her throat with saliva, she put down the tea cup, and suddenly froze.
She asked Mother Jiang who was serving her personally, "I...have I been cheated?"
Mother Jiang has a round face and looks very kind.
She said with a smile: "Young lady is smart, how could she be deceived?"
"It's my good son who lied to me! He kept saying that Fujin was not good, but in the end, Fujin didn't have to take care of the children, and Nurse Ning, whom I sent, would be sent back! Fujin is still as happy as before. comfortable!"
Jiang Nanny smiled awkwardly, "Is there? The servant is dull and didn't see it."
Concubine De took a look at her angrily, "Is the fourth elder brother the one who wronged me? If he really got tired of Si Fujin, would he tell me? He had already put Si Fujin aside and ignored him Yes. Hmph, he didn't want me to embarrass Si Fujin, deliberately speaking ill of his daughter-in-law in front of me, this trick is called retreating to advance!"
Jiang Nanny still smiled, and didn't give Concubine De any advice, "Then...do you want Ning Nanny to come back?"
Concubine De pondered for a moment, "The words have already been spoken, let her come back! From now on, I won't care about the affairs of the fourth elder brother's courtyard anymore! I married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, and I will not be a bad person who provokes their husband and wife!"
