Chapter 652 Master, Why Are You Drinking so Much Wine?
"Good master, you are still in confinement, please don't cry any more, it will hurt your eyes." Dong He wiped her tears with a handkerchief while coaxing her: "Everyone wishes to be in their own courtyard. In the past, Li Fangfujin wanted to be raised, but he didn't have such a blessing. So, the fourth master trusted you, so he entrusted the younger brother to you to raise him. Didn't the elder brother also give birth prematurely, and was raised in the main courtyard when he was young? I mean, when I grow up, I will naturally go to the front yard to learn the rules and study in the palace."
Perhaps these words played a comforting role.
Niu Gulu shrugged his nose a few times, and said angrily: "In the end, Wu is so stupid, so I won't bother with her for the time being. As for Li, she still has more than 20 days to give birth, so let's go." Just wait and see!"
"Master, didn't Fourth Master punish her to ground her feet?"
Niu Gulu sneered, and said, "It's late October now. After Li's childbirth, she will sit for another two months and it will be the Spring Festival. Is that called foot restraint? There is nothing wrong with it!"
"Then... what is the master going to do?" Dong He asked.
After Niu Gulushi pondered for a moment, Zhao Donghe waved and whispered for a while.
After a long time, the master and servant looked at each other knowingly, their eyes full of determination.
In the end, Niu Gulu said worriedly: "We can't be like them, full of loopholes, we must consider the worst in everything, try to make it as clean as possible, even cleaner than what Fujin did back then."
"Yes, master, don't worry." Dong He nodded in response.
On this side, Niu Gulu's and Wu's plastic sisterhood has since broken.
On the other end, Su Peisheng really taught fourth master every word and every subtle expression of Ruoyin's words.
"Fu Jin really said that?" Fourth Master put down the Langhao brush in his hand, and frowned imperceptibly with his long eyebrows.
"That's right, I think...in fact, Fujin knows everything. She said that as long as you are well, everything will be fine for her." Su Peisheng replied truthfully.
Fourth Master rubbed his swollen eyebrows, his expression became serious.
When he raised his eyes again, he said coldly: "It's cold, you order someone to choose some warm satin and send it to the main courtyard. Fujin always likes more elegant fabrics, let the people below watch and choose."
"Yes, yes, the servant must supervise them well." Su Peisheng replied.
------
The snow in the Forbidden City fell very early.
Before the end of October, it began to snow heavily.
The biting cold wind was blowing, blowing the hem of the servants' clothes high.
The heavy snow like goose feathers fell from the sky in circles, like scraps of paper.
The entire capital city was covered with thick white snow.
Covered in silver everywhere, it is so beautiful.
The two artificial lakes in Prince Yong's Mansion are both covered with thick ice.
When the servants are free, it is also a pleasure to stroll on the lake a few times.
Seeing the sky turn white, the bright white world suddenly darkened.
The icy and snowy land disappeared into the night, only the cold air outside, when the night fell, was particularly biting.
Ruoyin set up a boxy rosewood semi-round table by the window.
There was charcoal burning under the table, and a soft brocade blanket spread over it.
Put a cover on your legs to keep warm.
Sometimes, she would just sit by the window, read a book, do some embroidery or something.
Now, she is embroidering socks for two children.
When she first arrived, her embroidery work was crooked.
After all these years, it has finally grown a bit.
Although it is not as good as those embroidery work, it can be regarded as a hand.
"Master, it's getting dark, it's time to eat." Madam Liu came in with an earthen jar, "Cook Niu said it's good to eat radishes in winter, so he specially stewed radishes and mutton for you. It's the warmest drink in this winter." gone."
Ruoyin smiled and said, "Just bring it to the table."
So, in the blink of an eye, the table was full of food.
Ruoyin stopped embroidering after dinner.
The candlelight is dim at night, and embroidery is easy to damage the eyes.
I had to take the book and read it carefully.
The characters here are all brush characters, no matter how small they are, they are bigger than modern characters, so you are not afraid of hurting your eyes.
After reading the book for about a while, it was almost time to rest.
Ruoyin looked outside and was about to put down the curtains.
I saw a crowd of people outside the window, and a slave was holding a yellow lantern.
With the faint light, he could see that the leader was Si Ye.
It's just...he was a little sluggish when he walked, as if he had drunk too much.
If Ruoyin didn't see it, there was no singing and reporting, so he didn't have to go out.
But since he saw fourth master coming, he still wanted to go out to meet him.
When she reached the outside of the courtyard, she saluted meaningfully, and then stepped forward to help fourth master.
Only then did he get closer, and he smelled a smell of wine.
"Master, it's late at night, why are you drinking so much wine? It's hurting your liver and burning your stomach!" Ruoyin complained coquettishly.
Fourth master didn't speak, but when the woman helped him.
The big palm hit the woman's shoulder heavily.
Suddenly, Ruoyin's body collapsed a little.
Su Peisheng and Ruoyin supported the fourth master together, and he said in a sharp voice: "Fu Jin doesn't know something, can you not drink at the dinner party of the Long Live Master's group, the key is the prince..."
"Shut up." Before Su Peisheng finished speaking, he was scolded by the fourth master.
Now, no matter how many words there are, they will be swallowed quickly.
But even if Su Peisheng only said half of it, Ruoyin would know more or less.
I heard that after Kangxi had a serious illness last time, because the prince served him well, Kangxi doted on the prince even more.
The prince is in his thirties and forties, and he is still used to being a child.
Anyone who impeaches the prince in the court will be suppressed by Kangxi.
Either ransacking their homes, or sending them to remote places to lower their official positions.
Anyway, at this moment, Kangxi would not listen to anyone who spoke ill of the prince.
Even though he knew that there was such a thing, he still blindly favored the prince.
As for the prince, in front of others, he is arrogant and domineering, committing crimes.
In front of Kangxi, he was a very filial son, very obedient, just like a good boy.
In this way, even if the fourth master, who held the crown prince's handle, wanted to expose the prince's true colors, Kangxi might not listen to him.
If it's more serious, he may even think that he has the intention of treason.
Then he just fell into the trap of the prince.
At the beginning, the crown prince sued Kangxi, saying that the fourth master coveted the position of the crown prince!
This obviously has the evidence of killing the prince, but he can't act lightly, so he feels uncomfortable.
Besides, with the prince's arrogance, he appointed him to make a fuss about fourth master.
After a while, after Ruoyin helped fourth master to the inner room, Su Peisheng also went out.
Only Qiaofeng and Qiaolan were holding warm water basins, waiting for Ruoyin to use them.
"Master, I'll wait for you to wash up first, then you can rest." Ruoyin took the hot towel from Qiaolan and planned to wipe fourth master's face.
