    I was on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs for several nights and couldn't sleep well. When I came back that night, I was so restless that I didn't even hear the thunder.  Read the full text of the latest chapter of 800 When Chen Shi, her forehead came in to see her. She sat up with her messy hair, and when she looked at it, she said, "It's so late!"

    "The old lady said that the money is worth the hard work, so I don't want to disturb you." The eldest lady looked down at her while hanging the tent, "Did Rongshi send you back last night?"

    She hummed, "There was something wrong in the palace. He went on duty with me, said something, and sent me to the door."

    The eldest lady pursed her lips and smiled, "How is it? Are you getting along well?"

    She scratched her scalp and said, "It's good. I think he's a nice guy. I used to think he was dishonest, but actually he has a good heart." She got out of bed, put on her shoes, opened the lid of the incense burner, and took out the remaining incense sticks.  Stabbed.  A puff of green smoke rose up, then blew away. He opened the window and called Ya'er, "Where are you? Where did Gaole go?"

    Ya'er ran in with a copper basin and fetched water for her to brush her teeth and wash her face. The eldest lady was looking at the jewelry in her dressing box and muttered, "They are all out of date. You can't wear them all the time. It's time to change them. Come back."  Go up to the shop and pick out something new. It¡¯s from the girl¡¯s family. She wears the same clothes as your mother on duty. When she takes a bath, she dresses up well. She always looks like a man. Can¡¯t you find it at your husband¡¯s house? Speaking of this,  Recently, someone came to marry the third girl. He was the eldest son of Shang Cong's family in Hutongkou. He was hereditary Yunqiwei and was sent to Shandong Salt Road in autumn this year. Everyone else is very good, but his age is not suitable for him. He is twenty this year.  He's five, eight years older than San'er."

    Songyin was not very enthusiastic about this, "Ask Rang Yu what you mean, it doesn't matter if you are eight years older. As long as you have never been married, it doesn't matter if you let her be your second wife."

    "That's not true. We promised to have a kiss before, but it took two years to delay." Ya'er combed her hair, and the eldest lady watched from the side. She picked two white jade butterfly hairpins and handed them over, sighing, "I see  It's okay. The Guarjia family is also a prominent family with a clean financial background. The two families are close to each other and it is easy to communicate with them. But your sister did not agree. She said that she had met the uncle and thought that he had short hair and looked like a wasp  ¡­Listen to what these words are!¡±

    Songyin laughed, unable to imagine what it would look like to look like a wasp. He would probably have a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. That would really not be ideal.

    Now that the topic has been started, the eldest lady went a long way and finally brought the focus to her, "Second, how old are you this year?"

    Songyin¡¯s eyes darkened. It wasn¡¯t because she had a bad memory. How could a mother in this world forget her child¡¯s age?  The eldest lady has this habit. Usually when you want to bring up marriage with her, this sentence is the opening sentence. She first asks how old you are, and then starts to talk about finding a son-in-law.  Songyin frowned, "Didn't you just ask me last month? I'm eighteen this year, so I'm no longer young."

    "It's good that you know." The eldest lady sat down in the armchair, "When I was your age, Jin Mo even hugged me. Don't worry, you'll be saying 'no one looks down on me' and 'nothing' all day long.  "People want an official's daughter-in-law" These words are all excuses. What's wrong with an official? I want to have a son. I will be happy only if I get a daughter-in-law who is an official. I will be able to honor my ancestors. Look at you, don't you?  He is missing an arm but not a leg, but he is short-sighted at most. This is not considered a disability. Why can't he find his in-laws? There are many people on duty in the palace, like those Hanlin, who are knowledgeable./There are also imperial guards and Xiaoqiying camp  , Aren¡¯t all the members of the Leopard Tail Class 1 selected from thousands, but there is not even one suitable one?¡±

    The eldest wife is good at throwing cold water on others. Songyin pursed her lips and muttered, "How can you say that about your own daughter! I can work as a servant in the palace for the rest of my life. Who wants a woman to stay away from home every day? Also, after you get married, you have to have children.  My child, when will the Ministry of Internal Affairs cut off people? I have to take the time to give birth to a child, so why shouldn¡¯t the Yamen get into trouble? So don¡¯t rush me, I¡¯m more anxious than you are. [s just loves reading] [Finish learning and sing in the opera  , "There is no way"

    "Just let me!" the eldest lady said, tucking her sleeves. "There are so many people in the yamen, and they can't live without you? Tai/Ancestor didn't issue an order not to marry or have children. This is a major event in life.  You can't be vague. Time flies by so fast, and in the blink of an eye, you're twenty years old." After a pause, he looked at her expression in the mirror, "Or do you have a good idea and can talk to Rongshi? Do you really want to do this?  Don¡¯t worry. You know the old lady likes Rongsil, and his old lady. I can see that she also likes you very much. If you two can succeed, no one in the family will agree. Think about it, Rongshi is not only outstanding in talent,  The family is also well-off. Now his parents only have one son left, and much of the family property will belong to him in the future. He is also an official, a second-rank official, receiving a salary from the court, and both of his parents are serving in the palace, and no one has any money.  Who are you picking" The eldest lady became more and more happy as she spoke, clasping her hands and exclaiming, "Your Ama has really done a good thing this time. The road has been paved for you, so you can go boldly. This is a door with a lantern.  It¡¯s also hard to find a good match.¡±

    Songyin was said to be dizzy, but after walking on the same road, it was certain thatSimilar?  She covered her ears and said, "Eni, please don't do this. I'm not familiar with him."

    "It doesn't matter, we'll get used to it gradually." The eldest lady said happily, "When you sisters are all married, my worries will be over. In the future, when you and Ama become official, we will have nothing to do, and the in-laws must agree  , I can also show you the children.¡±

    It was too far-sighted to think. Songyin couldn't bear to disappoint her and agreed vaguely. Then she suddenly remembered, "I have to go to Rong's Mansion today. Last time, I couldn't spare the time for their old lady's birthday celebration. The old lady asked Rong  You really brought me two pieces of cake, and I have to go and repay the gift today."

    The eldest lady said, "That's right." She hurriedly went out to organize things and asked someone to prepare eight items for her so that she could bring them to see people.

    Ya'er also worked very hard and gave her a beautiful bun with a swallow tail on the collar and decorated it with red tassels. She muttered to herself, "If you want to see Mrs. Rong, you have to dress up well. Be dignified and let her  My mother-in-law likes it.¡±

    Songyin blushed when she said that, "If you keep lying, I won't slap you in the mouth!"

    Ya'er shrank her neck and chuckled, "I also think you and Mr. Rong are suitable. He and you are the same. Isn't this a perfect match sent by God!"

    Songyin chased after her to beat her, but she ran very fast and disappeared in a flash.

    "This rebellion!" Songyin came back with puffed cheeks, put on a moon-white soft satin cheongsam, carefully put the sachet on the button, twisted and looked behind her, she saw that the lines were satisfactory.  When she was about to go out, she caught a glimpse of the white jade lotus flower box on the dressing table. She paused, bent down to find a rouge stick, dipped it in lipstick, and applied a thin layer of color on her lips.  She looked much better this way, she smiled, put the rouge stick on the box, turned around and went out.

    First, you need to go to the old lady and report back. It is a custom in old Beijing that children must explain to their elders when they go out.  She was going to Rong's house, so the old lady naturally had nothing to stop her. She nodded and said, "It seems we are polite"

    As soon as he finished speaking, the second wife came in from the door, crying and saying: "I can't live this life"

    Songyin was about to go out when she stopped again.  Since the old man passed away, the Amma brothers have opened separate houses. They have separate rooms but not kitchens. They still eat together, but they don't live in the same house.  The house is large, so the situation there is unknown here.  Songyin thought that her second aunt was quarreling with her subordinates again, but she didn't expect it to be the case this time. She was complaining about Chang Ge's daughter-in-law who had just been married for a year, the daughter of the leader of the firearms camp, whose nickname was Biehong.

    "The people who were raised in Barrack 1 have no rules, I have learned a lot about it now"

    When the second wife burst into tears, she opened the curtain and walked out of the upper room.

    The problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an eternal problem. For example, she and her three aunts did not dare to breathe in front of the old lady.  The new daughter-in-law must be conditioned and must stand in front of her all day long to serve her tea and light cigarettes, and is not allowed to rest.  The status of a daughter-in-law in her husband's family is very low, even lower than that of a sister-in-law.  My aunt is highly valued in her natal family. The most obvious thing is that when everyone is eating, if my aunt can sit down, my daughter-in-law has to go around the table to wait on her.  When the mother-in-law is picky and the daughter-in-law has a bad temper, conflicts are inevitable.

    Songyin didn¡¯t care about that. Her parents were short-sighted, and she felt she didn¡¯t have the energy to cope with it.  The porter had prepared a small sedan chair, and she got on it and went to Qianliang Alley. As soon as she arrived at Rong's house, the servants went to the second door to announce it, and soon the word came out, asking the second girl to come inside.

    She followed her mother in. To get to the old lady's residence, she had to pass through a small garden.  As soon as I entered the hanging flower door, I saw green smoke coming from the roof, and the water was dripping on the eaves, as if a fire had just been put out.  She was surprised and asked what was wrong, and grandma was a little embarrassed. "Earlier, the second master took a relative's child to stick to a dragonfly. He stuck a matchstick in the dragonfly's tail and accidentally set the withered grass on the roof on fire."

    Songyin¡¯s heart was filled with thousands of troops and horses roaring past. Is this still the same Rongshi who saved her from the crisis yesterday?  She thought that his days of drawing banana pictures had passed, but she didn't expect that when she looked at him, it was obvious that he had not improved at all.

    "You two masters are so childish at heart!"

    Ma'er just laughed and said, "Our father can be playful sometimes, but he is serious. He doesn't suffer from the bad habits of the Eight Banners men outside. He usually likes to carve walnuts, be a carpenter, and also loves to cook and learn  Got a good dish Things like just now are accidental and don't happen often, second girl, don't take it to heart."

    The Rong family probably looked at her differently, so even the maid had to help smooth things over.  Others raise chirping insects and play octagonal drums, but his hobbies are different from those of ordinary people. He is a carpenter or a cook, which is simply inexplicable.  But this can be considered a leisurely activity, much better than those who spend all day pondering about the eight alleys.

    Just as he was talking, the man came out and strolled through the corridor with his arrow sleeves rolled up. His sky blue robe was tied with a satin belt, making him look even taller and slender.  He didn't show any smile when he saw her, so he said calmly: "Here?"

    She nodded, "Here you go aren't you on duty today?"

      He put his hands behind his hands and said, "I'm sick and I'm taking a leave of absence."

    Songyin¡¯s temples twitched. He is not in good health but still has the strength to stick to dragonflies and burn down the house?  It can be seen that he is malingering and fooling the emperor.

    She turned around and went up the corridor, without looking at him, and went to the old lady's room.  He snorted and hurried over, waving to Ma'er and asking her to step back while he stayed with her.  Songyin found it a bit funny and turned around and said: "You are sick, why don't you go and rest? Did you feel frightened just now?"

    He was a little regretful, "I was planning on flying towards the rockery, but I didn't expect the wind to change direction and fall on the roof."

    She looked at him curiously, "Is this what you usually do? What's the point of catching dragonflies? You might as well fly a kite."

    He laughed and said, "I also fly kites. When I was a guard, I took a group of people to the area around the front three gates to compete with the eunuchs. The eunuchs were flying kites in the palace, and we threw darts across the wall to cut the strings of other people's kites. The eunuchs were separated by  They yelled and cursed against the palace wall, but we didn¡¯t dare let them know who it was, so we just yelled back with our throats pressed.¡±

    Songyin was amused by him, "Are you flying a kite? It's obviously a mischief! Tan Rui probably hates you to death."

    He smiled brightly and said, "I didn't quarrel with Tan Rui, but I did scold Lu Run in front of the emperor once. He hadn't entered the Cultivation Heart Palace at that time, and was working in the South Study Room. I also played with them in the spring, let him go  A Diao Chan worshiped the moon and was cut off by the outside of the wall. He was not very good at cursing. He held it in for a long time before he cursed, 'a dog's breath, a smelly car', and everyone laughed at him."

    Songyin was convinced by his boredom, "Are you always making trouble like this?"

    He said: "The guards are not afraid of ordinary officials because of their background. The eunuchs have nothing to do with us. But later, some experts accused them, and there was a big publicity inside the wall, saying that thieves were measuring the imperial city and had evil intentions. No one could bear this crime, and then things gradually dispersed.  .¡±

    She didn¡¯t know what to say about his prank. Anyway, she had wronged Lu Run. How could such a gentle and gentle person be their opponent?  But listening to him talk about the past was extremely relaxing and interesting, which could calm her nerves that had been tense for a long time.

    She lowered her head and rubbed her steps, and slowly arrived in front of the old lady's room. She stopped at the foot of the steps and said, "I am not on duty today, so I don't know if there is any new news in the palace. In fact, I am still very scared. If I ask for further investigation, I will be  What should I do when the time comes?¡±

    He understood what she meant. The Tong family was a people with a yellow flag. If the emperor ordered an investigation, it would be clear that he would pull Prince Yu's pigtails.  Regardless of whether Prince Yu is involved in this matter or not, the Tong family, as its owner, will inevitably fall into a dilemma.

    He frowned and said: "If you are worried, I will go to the palace at night so that if anything happens, I can protect you first."

    Songyin was a little surprised, "Second brother"

    He smiled and said, "Just because I call you my second brother, I have to smooth the road for you, right?"

    I don¡¯t understand why someone who has always been tit-for-tat suddenly becomes friendly to her.  She said thank you softly, "You help me so much, I can't thank you enough."

    He said nothing, "You always look down on me, but I don't have any prejudice against you. Okay, let's not talk anymore, you go in, I will enter the palace right away."

    He turned to leave, but Songyin called him, "Aren't you still 'sick'?"

    He grinned, "I'm on duty even though I'm sick. It's time for the emperor to promote me to an official position." After saying that, he raised his hand and said, "See you later."

    Songyin watched him go away, and the girl had been closing the curtain on the door for a long time. The voice of the old lady of the Rong family came from inside, calling gently: "Second girl, it's so hot outside, come in quickly!"

    She just retracted her gaze and leaned into the house
