"Okay, let's go. (800) [Almost everything. It is more stable and updates faster than ordinary websites. It is full text and has no ads.]" He said dejectedly.
She turned around to look at it and hummed softly.
"Have you seen him there?"
She nodded, "I saw it when I came out of Jingyunmen. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a chance to show off. This is good. It will last for at least three to five days."
Rong Shi was very unhappy, "Today, the old lady wants to invite you to your home and have a meal together."
Songyin thought for a moment, "I'm not free today. Guang Chu Secretary Panku is on duty at night."
"Why are you always on duty all night?" He actually sounded a little sad, "I'm looking for you, but you're never free, so what can I do?"
Songyin found it funny to see his aggrieved look, "Wherever you are, you've agreed to show off. Don't take it seriously. If you turn around and follow other people's ways, I don't care about you."
He became more and more sad, "Don't be like this. If you want to pretend, just pretend to be decent and keep telling the truth. I'm not stupid, I can see it."
The bright sun made people dizzy. Songyin put her hands on the awning and squinted at him. He was tall and strong, and sometimes his temper was like that of a child. She sighed, "What should I do? I've always been so busy. The closer the holidays are, the less I can keep my feet on the ground. Are you still with me? Are you willing to stay alone in an empty house in the future?"
He said he was willing, "Isn't that how you live without getting married?"
Songyin squinted her eyes, saying that she wanted to develop a relationship with her was actually just to do business with her family, and she knew it well. I stopped joking with him, standing outside with no cover, it was very hot. She used her hand as a fan to fan the wind, said "see you later", and planned to say goodbye.
Rong Shi snorted, "It's your nineteenth birthday in two days. Do you want to do it or not?"
She was a little embarrassed and turned around and said, "Don't yell, what's your birthday? I'm busy and don't have time to celebrate my birthday."
¡°Since it¡¯s not a big deal, let me spend time with you and prepare delicious food for you.¡± He said with a smile, ¡°I know eighteen kinds of longevity noodles and I¡¯ll give you a big bowl.¡±
Songyin felt warm in her heart and couldn't bear to hit him. She just said: "Look, I don't know how much time I have that day." A voice came from the back left door, noisily talking, "We support His squad." Songyin pursed her lips and smiled, without saying anything else, and walked up to Long Zongmen.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s the first time you¡¯ve been so close to a man, and this man openly expressed that he wants to be with you. He¡¯s a girl. He¡¯s reserved on his face, but he¡¯s still a little happy in his heart. Rongshi is just like his name. He is a very down-to-earth person. After talking to each other a few times, you can judge his character. He is straightforward when he should be straightforward, and he is mellow when he should be mellow. He also had another sophisticated face in front of the emperor and Prince Yu. No wonder the old lady¡¯s biggest comment on him was that he was smart, saying: ¡°Don¡¯t look at how this second master is chattering sometimes, his brain works faster than others. . As the old saying goes, you can look eighty at the age of three. The more naughty you are as a child, the more promising you will be when you grow up. The lampstand he made last time was so good! It looked like an incense burner, with a spring inside and a candle. It popped out. His carpentry skills are as good as those of Ming Xi Zong." Being able to do carpentry work is also an advantage. People don't have to run around when they want to find something to entertain themselves. There are many temptations in the capital, and it is rare to find a man at home. The Han people are better than the Banner people in this regard.
Songyin returned to the House of Internal Affairs, sat in front of the case and flipped through the account book. He was in a good mood, and a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't notice it yet. Her mother watched for a long time, "Have you met anything good?"
She said no, "I'm busy, nothing good happened."
"Why are you so happy when nothing good happens?"
She said in astonishment: "Am I happy? I was born with this smile."
She said without blushing, and Shu Ming coughed, "It's not the first day I've met you." Suddenly she remembered, and said in a low voice: "Earlier, Mr. Liu sent someone to tell me that he was going to sing in his house. Tang Hui, let you go over and provide support."
She was not happy when she heard it, "I am on duty, why should I go to his house to support him? There is no big wedding or funeral, and the church has to use me. There is no one in charge of their family? They don't have a long history?"
Shu Ming smacked his lips and said, "Just go if I ask you to go, why are you talking so much! What's the use of complaining to me, I don't want you to go. But I am the leader of the banner, don't say you are from the Fourth Army now. The title of the prince is Maoxiang, the governor of Chahar, and Da Zhangjing of the first rank. The prince has passed away, and he is not just a drummer wearing hemp and filial piety!"
The Banner people are different from the Han people in this respect. They have a very strict hierarchy. Read the full text of the latest chapter [Read the latest chapter of this book. Please come to the master's house. Your official rank is not as high as yours. You have to fight people when you meet them on the road. Call them master respectfully; go to the houses of relatives and friends to have dinner and meet them. On board, you can¡¯t sit down, you have to wait beside you with a handkerchief on. This is a rule. If you accidentally violate it, you will be punished by thousands of people.Thousands of people will rebuke you. Therefore, if Prince Yu really summons her, she has to go no matter how reluctant she is. Who dares to disobey the master?
She lowered her head and stared at the account, with the corners of her mouth drooping, "Then I have to tell the emperor, and I just went on in silence. If the emperor blames me, I won't be able to bear it."
Shu Ming nodded, clasped his hands behind his back and sighed, "Didn't our family collect a bunch of little actors last time? If you bring them with you, they will be used to entertain the master. If you can, it's best to keep them. There are two good-looking people among them. Yes, I'm fifteen or sixteen, I have to let it go even if I leave it at home, why don't I give it to Prince Yu, it's a personal favor at least."
Songyin was helpless, "Do you want me to do this kind of thing? What's the difference between this and pimping?"
Shu Ming glared at her, "Just go against your Ama, you ungrateful thing! You can decide whether to fill in yourself or send two actors to replace yourself!"
Songyin was silent now. It turned out that Amma knew everything and he was trying to find ways to lure people. Anyone who really loves their daughter is not very willing to get married to the clan. These people have too much power, let alone a side wife, so what if they are the main wife? If one day I don't like you, I might let you "die" of illness silently, without even being able to redress your grievances.
She looked downcast and said she understood, "Can't we just do as you say?"
"Sooner or later, you're going to suffer a lot with your stubborn temper!" Her mother had determined her fate like a fortune teller. Seeing her rolling her eyes and looking at him, she shouted again, "Why are you looking at me so eagerly? Isn't it because of this?" Hello!"
She covered her ears, "Okay, I know it's for my own good. Then I won't be here tomorrow, so you can do your own inventory."
Shu Ming muttered, "What's so great about Panku? I can't do it without you?" But thinking about it carefully, ever since she entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she has been entrusted with the inventory for the past two years. I'm really confused after being idle for a long time.
Anyway, the father¡¯s majesty cannot be swept away. He raised his chin arrogantly and walked away with his hands behind his back. Songyin sat behind the case and sighed. He had to go to the Yangxin Hall again, and it was about Prince Yu again. She felt quite bored, running back and forth all day long. She was the busiest person in the entire House of Internal Affairs. Maybe when Ama takes up her official position, she can become the general manager herself. With a member of staff working under her, she can be like Ama. Who has ever seen the first-in-command in a yamen working extremely hard? The second-in-command is always the hardest working person.
Fortunately, Long live the Lord did not set any difficult tasks for her like Prince Yu. He heard that it was very normal, told her to do her job well, and sent her out.
Lu Run sent her to the Yangxin Gate, and she was a little confused, "Who is there who didn't ask me to pay attention to the meeting?"
Lu Run was still like that, with warmth reaching into his eyes when he smiled, "Isn't the meeting just for everyone to see? Important people will not attend in public."
Songyin groaned, remembering what Guo Guiren said before, and looking at him again, she suddenly felt unspeakably awkward.
Lu Run Because of his own reasons, eunuchs are always more sensitive than ordinary people. He noticed her slightest vision and looked down at himself cautiously, "What's wrong with Mr. Tong? Don't you recognize me?"
Songyin smiled naturally, "You can't see me when you look up, how can you not recognize me. Speaking of which, Manager Lu is always there every time I come here. He is on duty every day and works harder than me."
There was a faint look on his face, "We only serve Long Live Lord. You have to take care of tens of thousands of people in the entire Forbidden City. How can our hard work compare with yours?" After saying that, he smiled and said, "I heard that you and Master Rong are close, and I thought It was the master¡¯s words that day that had an effect.¡±
She said yes, "If Master Six alone was the one pulling the strings, I really didn't intend to take it seriously. But Master Long Live had given instructions, and I still pretended to be deaf and mute. It would be difficult for the master to explain to me. For now, let's go with Rong Shi first. Move around, whether it will happen or not depends on fate!"
He nodded, "People's hearts are the most important thing. Master Tong is smart and will not make mistakes."
Songyin exchanged a few words with him and saw that it was getting late, so he went back and changed his clothes to prepare to leave the palace.
Rong Shi was on duty tonight. Before she left, she glanced east. He was responsible for such a large area. He was not always working in the Qing Palace, so it was normal that he could not see her. She sometimes thought that it was really not good for both of them to be on duty in the palace. Even though they are not far apart, they are still far away from each other. This place is not something you can see just by looking at it. We meet each other when we go home. If Xiumu and Mu miss each other and one is on duty and the other is on night duty, we may not see each other more than once in the whole year. So she should find someone with a normal schedule, at least without being on duty all night. When she comes home, the man is there, he is busy, and he points to another person who is free to take care of the house, take care of the children, etc. Rong Shi is obviously not suitable.
"Not suitable" She raised her head and looked into the distance, sighing softly in the dusk. Where is the suitable person?
The sedan stopped by the Tongzi River. She sat in it, and when it was almost dark, mosquitoes buzzed in her ears.Swirling around, she fanned herself with a fan, lingering. Simply roll up the curtains and let the wind pass through the car while running, so you don't have to feed the mosquitoes.
When she got home, the nuns greeted her at the door. She entered the flower door thinking that dinner was about to begin, but it was so late and the flower hall was empty. The whole family was in the old lady's room, listening to the second wife's cries that shook the mountains.
Songyin went in and met the elders first, and Nafu said that I was under the influence. The old lady signaled the second wife to shut up. She wanted to say a few words to her granddaughter first and asked, "Is everything going well today? Is everything okay, master?"
Songyin said, "Everything is fine!" As he said this, he turned to look at the second wife, "What's wrong with the second aunt? Changge's wife is making trouble again?"
The second wife mentioned the sad thing without asking, and started crying again with her handkerchief tucked up, "Second Aunt is in bad luck, she met such a magic star"
Songyin looked at the old lady. The old lady frowned and said, "Changge's wife is getting more and more speechless. She insisted on taking the child away when she returned to her parents' home. Seeing that people here ignored her, she felt uncomfortable and sent the child to Changge. Went to the government office. The nursing baby didn't have a change of clothes or a nanny. He left it alone and left. His heart was so hard. The child cried until his voice became hoarse. Chang Ge, a man, didn't know how to take care of it. , I was so anxious that I cried together with the child. Which family can marry a daughter-in-law with such big ideas, only our Tong family! If word spreads, it will be a laughing stock, how will others think of it?" She was really angry, the old lady touched her chest and gasped. Songyin hurriedly helped Shunqi, and then she heard her say again, "No, just tell me what I want, and ask Changge to write a letter of divorce, and invite someone from her parents' family to take back all her dowry." People watched, Don't take away any more threads. If you mess up again, I will sue the officials and ask Shuntian Prefecture to resolve the case."
Giving the child to Chang Ge is indeed a matter of course. Chang Ge was in Huai Lai, two to three hundred miles away from Beijing. Instead of sending Tong Mansion away, he chose to stay close and seek the distance. This shows that he deliberately made things difficult for Chang Ge. Songyin felt angry and felt sorry for her child and Chang Ge. It's such a long journey and it's a hot day, so no one can make things difficult for the baby. If a mother is really so cruel, then what the Queen Mother did is not surprising.
The second wife stopped crying at this time. She sobbed and said, "It's such an embarrassing thing. I'm afraid it won't look good if it's done."
When the old lady heard this, she banged the kang table loudly and said, "You've already done this, and it's even more beautiful. Why did you go there earlier? It's just you who are cowardly and don't have the dignity of your mother-in-law at all, so you let her climb on top of your head. So. In a big family, which room is as restless as you? My mother-in-law is not like a mother-in-law, and my daughter-in-law is an old woman who wears eye drops and small shoes. Why don't you make a joke and let people see it? I won't do it all at once now, wait. Is it practical to bring about a life-threatening lawsuit? Do you want to make people laugh for a while, or do you want to make people laugh for the rest of their lives?"
The second wife was like a mud tire after being soaked in the rain. Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "I feel sorry for the money. It cost a lot of money to marry this daughter-in-law. How can I be willing to do so now that I have nothing but money and money?"
"She doesn't want to give up money. How can she be trapped for the rest of her life? Is money more important than life? She is so young and has such a strong will. I can't stand just listening to it." The old lady waved her hand, "You two want to If you can bear it, let's settle it within your own house. Don't bring trouble to me, I'm tired of hearing it! Look at this room full of girls, none of them have left the palace. Your wife is in panic and you're embarrassed!"
The second wife was scolded, and she was suffocating in her heart. She made up her mind and said, "Just do what the old lady wants. I also looked away. Anyway, losing a grandson is not a loss."
??A marriage breaks up in two, and no one wins. The old lady complained: "That aunt from the Sai family was born by a loach, and she loves to stir up muddy waters. She can't get used to the life of our Tong family, so please let her go to another family." She turned around and told the third master, "You can find another one for me. Good in-laws, we have good talents and are promising, so we can go back and get another room, and let her cry!"
The third master is a gamer, walking birds and raising goldfish, and his footprints are all over the famous families in the 49 cities. He has many friends and wild ways, so finding an in-law is not a problem. Now that he has one, he gives a thumbs up and shakes his head, "Second sister-in-law, if you can clean up your family, I'll tell Chang Ge about a family right away." Zhenghongqi Tarala is a young lady from Shanxi's Shanxi governor's family. She is well-educated and looks much more beautiful than my aunt Bi."
The second wife is in high spirits, but she is afraid that Chang Ge¡¯s marriage will fail and she will go astray. If someone can fill it immediately, that would be great.
The old lady sighed deeply, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. This is just a high-profile statement. Which parent can just let go? Okay, now that the matter is settled, let's eat. Don't treat me badly for an outsider." It hurts my own stomach."
The group of people went to the flower hall. The old lady took Songyin and asked: "I said I was going to stay up late today, why are you back again?"
Songyin waited for her to sit down and responded: "Prince Yu sent a message to Amma, explaining that there was a party at his house and asked me to come over and help with the cooking."
The old lady hummed, "What do you mean? Why does the church still want you?"Help, there is no one left in his palace? "
Song Yinxin said that she was also confused, but she just didn't dare to mention what happened in the palace to the old lady for fear of worrying her. Anyway, calling her this time probably won't do anything good. She needs to be vigilant. No matter what kind of self-defense you bring, it shouldn't matter.
She comforted the old lady, "I am the master of the banner, so I have to go when called. I think it is because Prince Yu's Mansion does not have the head of the house, Fujin, so it is not convenient for the concubines to show up when guests come. Since I am in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is okay to help with the cooking. I can do it myself. Be careful, don¡¯t worry, old lady.¡±
"You should go, but you are a girl after all. It's not convenient for you to visit other people's homes at will." Speaking of this, he thought of the Rong family again and complained, "I was not happy that you were allowed to stay overnight in Qianliang Hutong last time. Although I like Rongshi, the old lady in his family is a ghost. She is very old and has no success. You live in their house, they have nothing to do, and the son is not afraid of a bad reputation. As for you, the girl's family suffers more ah."
Songyin smiled and said, "I was really ill that time. I don't blame old lady Rong. She had good intentions."
Since she didn¡¯t care, the old lady didn¡¯t say anything and instead asked, ¡°Have you and Rong Shi had something to talk about?¡±
Rang Yu, who was standing next to him, heard this and interrupted: "Look, don't let anyone fool you. You still don't know what kind of virtue that person is!"
After she finished speaking, the old lady scolded her, "Young kid, what do you know? Take care of yourself and you will be lucky."
It was difficult for Songyin to explain her situation clearly, so she said vaguely: "It's nothing, just working together. I fell ill and he saved me."
The old lady smiled, her wrinkles under the lamp showing satisfaction, "That's good. Let's do it bit by bit. The closer we get, the closer we get. The Rong family cares about you. I can see that, in this case, we must be more dignified. You can¡¯t let anyone take it lightly. As for Prince Yu, your Ama mentioned to me last time that he intended for you to come with him? You have to think about this carefully. According to my idea, it is the prince¡¯s palace. If you can¡¯t, you can¡¯t enter. . I don¡¯t know what kind of achievements Prince Yu will have in the future. If you are trapped in the harem, your life will be ruined. Our Tong family does not expect to have a concubine or a queen. As long as everyone marries properly and lives a comfortable life, that will be it."
She responded, "I understand what the old lady means, and I know it myself. Don't worry about me."
The family was busy eating and drinking again. The old lady didn't know what was on her mind, and she couldn't just find someone to talk to. The next day I got up, packed up, and went to East Corner Tower Kuan Street. Buyer Hutong and Prince Yu's Mansion are both decorated with yellow flags, so they are not far away. When you exit the alley and cross over diagonally, it's time for two cups of tea.
It rained that day, and it was overcast and rainy when I woke up early in the morning. She sat in the sedan with the curtains open, hoping that the meeting would be cancelled, but unfortunately it was not. When we arrived in front of the palace, the three middle doors were open. Eunuchs and Goshiha were coming and going, but Prince Yu was nowhere to be seen.
The concierge came over quickly and called Qianer on the spot, "Greetings to Mr. Tong. The master is waiting for you, and the servants have been waiting for you for a long time."
She is a female official with an official title, so her treatment is naturally different from that of ordinary flag slaves. Leading the way in front of the concierge, she asked: "Where is the prince?"
The concierge said, "I'm fishing in the back. I asked you to come to the garden when Master Tong comes."
She looked back at the six little actors and said, "Follow me."
