Chapter 57
Chapter 57
Xiao Ningzi brought Hutou in her arms, and Shuwan looked at Hutou exactly the same way she looked at Gege in the backyard.
No!That look is obviously more vicious!When looking at it, there is three points of contempt, three points of indifference, and four points of disgust.
Seeing Fujin's unkind expression, Xiao Ningzi's heart ached.Now he is responsible for taking care of the tiger head, if something happens to the dog, the fourth brother will not spare him!
Xiao Ningzi smiled apologetically, "Fu Jin, the tiger head is very good. If you pet its head, it will roll around for you."
"Why should I watch it roll? Is it idle?"
Xiao Ningzi shut up embarrassingly, Shuwan rolled his eyes at him, raised her hand and patted the tiger's head twice.
Hutou stretched out his tongue and panted, Gu Lu turned over twice, then raised his claws to bow.
Xiao Ningzi smiled and said, "Fujin, look how clever it is!"
Shuwan smirked, "Yes, it is really clever, you should learn from dogs more in the future."
Xiao Ningzi: "..."
He secretly looked up at Xia'er, Xia'er shook his head slightly at him, don't please Fujin, there is no result except being scolded.
Shuwan picked up the dog and rubbed its belly.The tiger head obediently exposed its belly, retracted its claws, and stared at Shuwan flatteringly with its big watery eyes.
In the past, when it played with the fourth elder brother like this, it would have jerky to eat, and it waited expectantly for the hostess to give the jerky.
Shuwan ignored it with a cold face, and the tiger's head was bowing, rolling and jumping, trying her best to please the mistress.
Xiao Ningzi felt sad, this dog worked too hard, he felt that he was very self-motivated, but he didn't reach the level of a tiger.If he had the three-point effort of Hutou, he would probably already be a celebrity around Fujin!
Shuwan looked at the tiger head coldly, not caring about its performance at all.
She said to everyone: "Don't stick around here, go to the dining room to prepare. I want to eat a pot at noon. The mutton should be thinly sliced, and it will be cooked by scalding it in boiling water. Some mushrooms, fungus and tofu, It's winter now, there are no fresh vegetables, so let's serve some cabbage! Finally..."
Shuwan pointed at the tiger head, "Leave it alone. It's the best season to eat a pot of hot dog meat soup."
Xiao Ningzi was so frightened that tears flowed out. As soon as he asked for love, Qiuxiang covered his mouth, Bingxiang grabbed his collar, and the two dragged Xiao Ningzi out together.
Chun'er and Xia'er hurriedly followed, and after going out, Chun'er asked anxiously: "Aren't we going to persuade Fujin? If the tiger's head is really stewed, the fourth elder brother will break with Fujin!"
Qiuxiang smiled and said: "You have been with Fujin for more than a year, don't you understand Fujin's nature? Fujin is getting angry, a little angry, and talking a little too aggressively, but not to the point of losing his mind. Eat dog meat, have you forgotten?"
Bingxiang smiled at Xiao Ningzi: "Fu Jin wasn't targeting you just now, don't be angry."
Xiao Ningzi hurriedly said: "Oh! Sister Bingxiang is serious, how could I be angry? I wish I could become a pistachio and make Fujin happy! It's a pity that I don't have the ability to share Fujin's worries."
Xia'er said: "Okay, stop talking here, go and prepare the mutton pot!"
In the room, Shuwan lifted the dog up and said viciously: "You haven't transformed into a human form yet! Admit it! You are a dog spirit!"
Tiger head: "Wow!"
"Yo! How dare you deny it! Be careful, I will send Taoist priests to arrest you!"
Shuwan put the dog on her lap, and the tiger's head rested on Shuwan's arms obediently.
Shuwan tugged at its ears, "What's so special about you, isn't it just an ordinary dog? Pretending to be a wretched concubine who will bring disaster to the country!"
Hutou went to lick Shuwan's hand, making her hand wet.Shuwan wiped her hands on the dog's clothes in disgust.
"Hey, you're so dirty!"
Shuwan played with the dog for a while, and the fourth elder brother came back.
He entered the room and asked, "Where are the people around you? They left their posts without authorization, how do they serve you?"
He was surprised to see the tiger's head, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face. "You also think the tiger head is cute, don't you?"
Shuwan smirked and said: "Yes! It's very cute. This dog has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and it looks delicious!"
Fourth elder brother: "..."
Shuwan: "Didn't my brother ask where the people around me have gone? They went to boil water, and a pot of boiling onion and ginger water will be brought in after a while. Let's kill the dog and slice it into thin slices." Shabu meat to eat."
The fourth elder brother persuaded: "Don't! The tiger's head is still small! You can't eat it..."
He didn't dare to persuade, spoke softly and looked very humble.
Shuwan rolled his eyes at him, he is such a cool guy, he is humble for a dog, he is really promising!
She gritted her teeth and said, "The dog should be smaller! This way the meat will be tender!"
The fourth elder brother really has nothing to do with Shuwan, this is his first time coaxing a woman.Before getting married, he was unhappy with the Song family and the Li family, so he just walked away, regardless of whether he was right or not.Anyway, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Li have to bear it, and they still have to find a way to coax themselves back.
It's really a turn of events now!
Shuwan put the dog on the ground, head bobbed and rubbed Si elder brother's feet, letting him play with her.
The fourth elder brother didn't dare to look at the dog at all, and he didn't even dare to move his feet, for fear of intensifying the conflict.
Shuwan was satisfied when she saw the performance of the fourth elder brother. This person is still saved, and there is no way to go to the dark.
"Brother came back very early today!"
Shuwan had a smile on her face when she spoke, and the fourth elder brother was secretly relieved to see her soften her attitude.Fujin was finally willing to let him go down the stairs.
"I was worried that you were still angry, and I was afraid that you would blow your body out of anger, so I pretended to have a headache and asked for leave from my husband."
Shuwan said: "It's not good to lie to people, brother, don't do this in the future!"
As she said this, the deepening smile on her face betrayed her heart.
The fourth elder brother saw it clearly, he said with a smile: "I can spare time to work hard, but I can't neglect you!"
"Hmph! You only talk to me!"
"How could it be?" The fourth elder brother took out a colored glaze bracelet from his bosom. The whole body of the bracelet was green, pure, delicate and transparent.Different from the round and smooth ordinary bracelets, this glazed bracelet is made into the shape of bamboo joints, which matches its transparent green color very well.
Such transparent colored glaze is very difficult to burn, and it was the fourth elder brother who finally found it and planned to give it to Shuwan on her birthday next year.Shuwan's birthday is in May, and the weather is hot at that time. Wearing this is just right, and her eyes look clear.
After receiving the gift, Shuwan lost most of her anger. She raised her hand and asked the fourth elder brother to help her put the bracelet on.
She has a fair complexion and thin wrists, and she looks great in this bracelet.
The fourth elder brother praised and praised, saying that Shuwan's skin is like creamy fat, and that such a good bracelet is only suitable for Shuwan to wear, and praised Shuwan so much that her heart was full of joy.
At this time Xia'er and others came back, Shuwan saw that it was almost time, and ordered them to set up a table to eat hot pot.
The fourth elder brother secretly waved at Xiao Ningzi, asking him to take the dog away.
The couple finished their meal peacefully and huddled together for a private conversation.Xia'er and the others breathed a sigh of relief, elder brother and Fujin finally reconciled, and finally they don't have to worry about it.
It’s okay for the fourth elder brother to find an excuse to ask for leave for a while. Mister can help cover it up by turning a blind eye. If you ask too much, you won’t dare to hide it. You will definitely report it to the emperor.
In the afternoon, the fourth elder brother went to class, Shuwan smiled and sent him out.
She smiled and reminded the fourth elder brother, "I am very happy that elder brother gave me something and was willing to put down his body to coax me. But I only lost half of my anger, and the remaining half depends on how elder brother usually does!"
The fourth elder brother smiled and held her hand, "Don't worry, Fujin, I won't make you angry again in the future."
The two said goodbye to each other with a smile. As soon as they left the courtyard where the elder brother lived, the fourth elder brother complained to Su Peisheng.
"Woman! Duplicity, and it's so hard to please! I'm humbled, and she's still not satisfied with this! She obviously likes the gift I gave, but she said that she was only half angry!"
Su Peisheng smiled apologetically: "Brother, good men don't fight with women, you are a manly man, give way to Fujin more!"
He thought to himself: You are not used to Fujin daring to be arrogant in front of you!
Brother Si nodded, "You're right, a good man doesn't fight a woman, and I don't have the same knowledge as her!"
The fourth elder brother, who doesn't know much about women, starts to strictly follow the schedule. The first thing he does when he comes back every day is to play with Kang Bao, and Shu Wan is also with him.If Kang Bao fell asleep, he would accompany Shuwan to say some homely things, telling her what happened in the palace recently, so that Shuwan's news would not be too closed.
Afterwards, it was time to practice calligraphy and reading. He moved the commonly used books and stationery to the main room, and he wrote at the table. Shuwan quietly sat next to him doing needlework, and occasionally sharpened ink and cut lanterns for him.Neither of the couple spoke, but they felt very quiet and warm.
After practicing calligraphy, the fourth elder brother stopped playing with the dog. Sometimes he would draw two portraits of Kang Bao, and sometimes he would deal with some trivial matters ahead.
He spoke very forcefully, saying that Fujin was troublesome and hard to coax.The body is very honest, he is afraid of his wife getting angry, and he dare not even talk to his pet.
Shuwan is very satisfied with Si elder brother's behavior, he has finally learned to look at his wife, which is worthy of encouragement.
Seeing the performance of the fourth elder brother, Shuwan felt that the time was almost up, and finally she was willing to let the fourth elder brother go back to the main room to sleep.At this moment, the fourth elder brother was filled with an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
If Shuwan knew, she would show mercy and tell the fourth elder brother that this is the same way to gain favorability in strategy games. Congratulations, you have filled up the progress bar.
Time flies, and it seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, and Shuwan's confinement is over.She has to go out and walk around, preparing for various things for the New Year.
After Shuwan was able to go out, the first thing she did was to take the child to greet Concubine De.It is said that the next generation of relatives, Concubine De has not seen Kang Bao for such a long time, she should miss him very much.
Sure enough, when they arrived at Yonghe Palace, Concubine De actually stood at the door to welcome Shuwan.Seeing the quilt rolled up in Shuwan's arms, she almost rushed over.
She took the child from the nanny's arms, still complaining about Shuwan.
"It's such a cold day, why are you tossing the child?"
Shuwan said in her heart: I can hold the child to see you, so just smile secretly!Get cheap and sell well!
She explained with a smile: "The sun is warm today, and Kang Bao misses you too."
Concubine De smiled and said: "You will coax me, such a small child, does he know what missing is?"
Concubine De put the child on the couch, supported her waist first and took a breath.The child weighed nearly twenty catties with the quilt, so heavy!
Kang Bao felt that he was lying down, and began to struggle hard, breaking himself out of the quilt.
Concubine De took the child out quickly, Kang Bao looked at her carefully, raised her small arms for balance, and rubbed her forehead against Concubine De's face.
Concubine De was ecstatic, "Have you seen it? My Kang Bao still remembers me!"
Shuwan also felt strange, Kang Bao had a good memory!Song's little Gege didn't remember anyone when she was so old, and she didn't recognize Shuwan after a few days.
Kang Bao raised his head to look at Concubine De, and hit Concubine De's face with a bang.
Concubine De hugged Kang Bao, almost crying with excitement.
"It's my Kang Bao who is filial and still remembers grandma."
Shuwan: "..." As for being so excited?Does that make you filial?It's so easy to coax!
The nurses and maids in the room all smiled and said, "My little brother has a good memory, I still remember you after so long!"
"Your Majesty will do her best to take care of the little elder brother, so of course the little elder brother will kiss you!"
Shuwan also smiled and said: "Since Kang Bao was born, Erniang took care of the child most of the time. He was not so close to me at home. If I hadn't brought him here today, I didn't even know that he would put his forehead on the baby." People act like a baby."
Concubine De was coaxed into elation, feeling that all her hard work was not in vain.
She smiled and complained to Shuwan, "It's as if you and your husband are throwing away the shopkeeper. You are already the Ama Erniang's people, but it's still not worrying! You are open-minded and don't care about everything. Of course, I have to worry more!"
Shuwan smiled and said yes, "Thanks for your hard work, my mother."
Concubine De teased the child for a while, Kang Bao gave her a face-saving smile, and sat in her arms to defecate.
Concubine De asked the nanny to go down to change the baby's diaper. After changing the diaper and washing his butt, Kang Bao fell asleep.
Concubine De let the child sleep on the kang in her room, and then sent the nanny and the attendants out.
"You have been staying at home for the past few days. I don't know if you have heard something. The princess is pregnant."
Shuwan thought: Oh my god, I heard about this a long time ago.
She said with a smile: "Si elder brother told me that the daughter-in-law has already sent someone to send a generous gift."
Concubine De nodded in satisfaction. Although the daughter-in-law here is a bit jealous, she is really good at housekeeping and human relations.
She reminded Shuwan to build a good relationship with the princess, "The prince has won the sacred heart. It is also good for the fourth elder brother if you have a good relationship with the princess. We women can't be slaughtered for officials, but we are not just for nothing. Maintain a good relationship , it will be of great use!"
So although Concubine De didn't like Concubine Yi, she never stopped Shuwan from making friends with Wu Fujin.
Shuwan knows that Concubine De is teaching her how to do things, and Concubine De is an old man in the palace, so her opinion is still very valuable.
"Emiang's words, the daughter-in-law will always remember."
Concubine De said: "It's okay to be idle, go to the Crown Princess's place for a while, don't be too flattering, and don't be too alienated, this is up to you."
Concubine De taught Shuwan a lot of things, and when Kang Bao woke up, Concubine De played with her for a while before letting Shuwan take the child back.
As Chinese New Year is approaching, it is best for Kang Bao to stay at elder brother's place and spend a reunion year with fourth elder brother.Second, during the Chinese New Year, there are too many people who come to pay their respects and come and go, so she is afraid that Kang Bao will be shocked.
Although Concubine De De had a lot of reluctance, she still asked Shuwan to take the child back, and told her that she didn't have to carry the child in the future, because it was freezing cold, and it was not worth keeping the child in the cold.
There is nothing new about Chinese New Year, just like last year, kowtow to celebrate the New Year and eat palace banquets, boring and tiring.
But there is a happy event, the fourth elder brother forgot to tell Shuwan.The location of their mansion outside the palace has been decided, and the blueprints have been drawn. The fourth elder brother has seen it and is satisfied with everything.Even the bricks, stones and tiles have been brought in, and the house can be built just waiting for the beginning of spring.
Shuwan has no requirements for house construction. She knows that the fourth elder brother has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He has a high aesthetic for architecture, porcelain, etc. He is particularly picky about these things.
He was satisfied, and the drawings of the new mansion must be fine.
Shuwan felt strange, "Why are you doing things so quickly all of a sudden?"
The fourth elder brother said: "There is no way, the old seven and the eighth will get married this year, and the palace will soon be overwhelmed. Huang Ama is in a hurry to drive us out! I guess, we will be able to move around next year."
"So fast!"
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Huang Ama is urging on the top, and the people below have to do things like lighting lamps and cooking oil! Third brother and they will move this year, and fifth brother and they will almost move with us."
"Is Fifth Brother's mansion close to us?" Shuwan wanted to be Wu Fujin's neighbor.
The fourth elder brother shook his head, "It's not too close, but Lao Ba's mansion is next to us."
"Brother Eight hasn't gotten married yet! The location of the mansion has already been chosen?"
The fourth elder brother's voice became low, "The eighth younger brother can talk and do things, of course he likes Huang Ama."
Shuwan understands, the fourth elder brother pulls his face every day, the emperor doesn't like to play with him, the emperor likes sweet-talking.
The fourth elder brother laughed at himself, "The emperor shows his favor and will allow the prince he likes to stay in the palace for a few more years. I am not favored, and I have to move out as soon as I get married."
Which child does not want to be loved by his father, but it is a pity that the fourth elder brother is neither the first son nor the eldest son, and the middle child is the most likely to be ignored.Although he grew up beside the emperor under the light of Empress Xiaoyi when he was a child, he had an unpleasant personality and did not get more attention from the emperor.
Only children who can cry can eat sweets. He is quiet and silent. With so many children in the emperor, it is difficult for him to stand out.
It is difficult to change a person's personality, Shuwan doesn't want Si Age to learn to be sweet, he just needs to be himself.
"I know my elder brother's filial piety. You never talk about those empty things, and you always do things in a real way. Sincerity is as good as gold and stone. Now the emperor doesn't notice it. One day he will see elder brother's filial piety." .Furthermore, what is the purpose of our filial piety? To please the emperor? To get a reward from the emperor? No! You want to honor your parents from the bottom of your heart, regardless of whether there is any reward, we just need to be filial."
The fourth elder brother didn't expect Shuwan to say such a thing.
He smiled and took Shuwan's hand, feeling relieved, "You're right! We just need to have a clear conscience!"
Shuwan said again: "I also have my own little thoughts. In fact, I prefer to live outside the palace. Elder brother's courtyard is still too small. If we have our own mansion, our main courtyard must be much larger. In my own small garden, I can still invite relatives and friends to dinner and listen to a play, how comfortable it is!"
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Okay! I hope to move out soon, we live in a big house!"
Not long after the new year, the seventh elder brother got married, and two months later, the eighth elder brother got married.
The emperor was just average to the seventh elder brother, he gave everything that should be given, and taught what should be taught, but he didn't like it very much.Because Seventh Elder Brother was a little lame, the emperor had always wanted to adopt him before, and he didn't bring him to sacrifice during the Chinese New Year.Seventh elder brother's biological mother has not been promoted for a long time.
Seventh elder brother's wedding is relatively simple, and Qifujin is also a very silent person, she just smiles when others talk, and is very cautious every time she speaks.
The eighth elder brother's wedding is much more dignified than the seventh elder brother. Although his biological mother is not of high status, he was raised by Concubine Hui since he was a child.Concubine Hui is very good at being a person, and she managed the eighth elder brother's wedding in a decent manner, and even the emperor praised her for her virtuousness.
Shuwan is very curious about Fujin Ba, she is the only one favored by Brother Ba, so she should be a very pungent woman, right?
The next day, Ba Fujin and Ba Prince went to pay their respects to the queen mother, and Shuwan sat behind Concubine De to watch the fun.
Lucky Eight is bright and generous, with a clean and clear voice, and he is a neat person at first glance.
The maid introduced her to the concubine Fujin who was present, and Ba Fujin greeted each other with them, and then presented gifts.She has an elegant posture, neither humble nor overbearing. One can tell at a glance that her family education is excellent. No matter who she meets, she can say a few obedient words, and her ability to deal with people is also excellent.
The queen mother likes such a generous girl, holding Bafujin's hand is a compliment.
She also pointed at Shuwan and said: "Look at you, you are being compared!"
Shuwan hurriedly got up and smiled and said: "I used to think that I had a good tongue and learned the rules. Today I saw my eighth siblings and I realized that I am a poor and settled family. I will never dare to show my eyes in front of the Queen Mother and all the empresses."
Bafujin smiled and said: "Sisao is too modest. I just entered the palace and I don't understand many rules. Please ask Sisao to teach me."
Shuwan declined and said, "What can I teach you? The Queen Mother and the ladies are very loving, you just have to act like you were at home."
The queen mother hurriedly said: "Yes! Shuwan's words are good! People in the palace are very easy-going, just act like you are at home!"
Ba Fujin smiled and nodded in agreement, Shuwan curled her lips in her heart, what an easy-going fart.The emperor is strict, and Gongdou has no room to show off. There are only a group of quarrelsome old ladies.This is not the Forbidden City, but the Forbidden City Vegetable Market!
After recognizing the person and kowtowing, the first blessing of the eight blessings was soon over, and everyone went back to their respective homes.
Next, Ba Fujin is just like Shuwan and the others, just come to say hello on time every day.
The Seventh Fujin and the Eighth Fujin are the new wives who have entered the palace, and it is inevitable that they will be compared together.
Seventh Fujin doesn't like to talk, so others classify her as the first-class Wufujin, thinking that she has no great promise, just an ordinary woman.
Bafu Jin is different, he acts generously, is knowledgeable, knows how to handle affairs, and is able to win people over.Everyone secretly commented behind their backs, thinking that she would be the eighth brother's help in the future.
But she was criticized for one thing, she only followed Concubine Hui every day, and when she saw the eighth elder brother's biological mother, Wei Shi, she just nodded and was done.
A lot of people said that she exalts the high and depresses the low, and that she has a bad character, but she just looks easy-going on the surface.
