She also thought about resigning after this turmoil passed if it really didn't work out. . For more latest chapters visit: www. {Chinese} Officialdom is a man's world. It would be bad if she incurred love debts and dragged down Rong Shi. She was going to convince Ama to choose someone from the other three families as her adoptive son, as long as it was a man who could do his job well and not dishonor his ancestors. She is a woman after all, no matter how ambitious she is, she will inevitably be constrained. It's better to do women's work, take care of the house, do needlework, and cook, and An Ansheng can be the second nanny of the Rong family.
But when she talked to Amma, Shu Ming looked at her intently and said, "I have worked hard for decades, but in the end I am taking advantage of others? You are so calculating! Can you listen to my plan? That's what I think, wait. You have a family, raise a nephew to be the leader for me. Our family does not value sons over daughters. Even if you marry, the son-in-law has to be a half-in-law. Ask Rong Shi Whether he does it or not, he has to give me a son to take charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If such a "fat" job is off my shoulders, can I take it back one day? When I get old, it won't be possible for you to change your mind. You want power? Who cares about you! You and I have encountered many difficulties, and every time we give up our choices, do you think that this black veil has taken root on our foreheads? Look at other families, Guobulu's , Fucha family, which one is a vegetarian? We can't just be rich for ourselves, but also for future generations." He pointed to the gate in front of the 'door', "The emperor takes turns, no matter how fast he changes, we are like that stone pillar. The ups and downs are always there. Have you ever seen heavy snow falling for three consecutive years? No matter how cold it is, it can't last more than three or four months. If the cold winter doesn't kill you, how can you see spring? Just grit your teeth and get through it."
She sat on the bench and looked downcast, "I feel like I'm the troublemaker."
"Nonsense." Shu Ming loved his daughter very much and couldn't bear what she said about him. "The culprit is Lu Run. It's too early for you to get this title! What is the girl's most proud of? It's asking a man to do it for you. Fight. How can they treat you like this if you are not good? It is not a sin to please, but you have to be tactful. It is their business how they pinch you. Just don't let the sparks splash on you. "
She sighed: "I don't want to see Mr. Liu again. It's not a good thing to poke him in the eye socket. If you stay far away, maybe he will forget."
Shu Ming stopped talking and turned around to fiddle with the study on the table. He held a wolf hair in his hand for a long time and said, "Second, Amma wants to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. If you care about Rongshi, just Break up with him!"
She raised her head in panic, "Amma"
"When has a chicken egg against a stone ever won? If the emperor is in good health, we have a chance of winning. If you fight hard, I won't persuade you. Now, the backer is about to fall, aren't you worried? Cabinet Impeachment of Prince Yu, where are the pickets? They pay close attention and don't leave a pigtail for anyone. However, those academics still have some ability. Under the banner of Xianghuang Banner, they dug out a prefect who issued loan sharks. Where did the money come from? According to the investigation, it is said that the people's tax money is used as capital, and the profits are then paid to the treasury. The bill was issued by Prince Yu, which is somewhat involved. This case was handled by Rong Yunzao, and Liang Zi ended it again and again. , how to resolve it? Rong Shi, it¡¯s not bad. The young man is brave and brave, which is a sharp knife in the emperor¡¯s hand. Once the person changes, the knife is not suitable for the hand, so it has to be sheathed. You are iron I want to be with him in my heart. Mr. Liu has a beautiful mouth. How can he be so narrow-minded? If Rong Zhen is proud in love, he will definitely suffer in the officialdom. If you hate him, marry him. If you love him, then Stay eight feet away from him."
After hearing what Ama said, Songyin burst into tears. How could she not know, but if she likes someone, can she just let him go? This was their first time, and their love would last forever. If she couldn't marry him, what hope did she have?
She tucked up her handkerchief and cried loudly, "I just want to marry him."
Shu Ming lowered his head and looked at her, "Just howl twice and it's over. Don't talk outside. The more obvious your attitude is, the worse it will be for him." He scratched his scalp and said, "It used to be like enemies, but now Why do you love me so much?"
She said, "He understands me, respects me, and doesn't force me to do things I don't like to do. I just want to be happy when I find someone to live with, and there is no shortage of uncles to appoint me." 'You do this for me, you do that for me', I have done enough work as an errand, and I want people to love me when I get home."
Shu Ming was speechless, "I'm really not ashamed, I can say it in a very eloquent way when I want someone to feel pain."
She sat there and stamped her feet, "I just want to be hurt, not bullied!"
This girl is always so stubborn in front of Amma, showing off her temper and arrogance without hiding it. Shu Ming hurriedly pressed his hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the more he talks, the more he talks. How old are you, and you are still making trouble? The Kitchen God has not ascended to heaven, and his head is full of sugar melons? I have never seen you like this."
Songyin leaned her back against the wall and had nothing to say. Amma didn¡¯t understand her sadness. She had heard people say it before.However, women love someone with their hearts, while men love someone with their brains. It is too difficult to remove it from the heart, but if you open a skylight in the brain, you may be able to pour it out in two blows. If this relationship ends one day, it will probably have to be truly heartless.
At this time, the housekeeper came in and said: "The Jiangzhenxiang cakes for use are all ready. The two adults will take a look and send them over. Popular."
Songyin slowly moved over, wondering at the many strange names she was calling her. In the past, she was Manager Xiao Tong and Master Xiao Tong, but now she has become the second master in front of her Ama, and I don¡¯t know what else will come after a while. After checking carefully, there was nothing wrong. He raised his head and said, "I'll send it over, just in time to see Lu Run."
Zuoling bowed in response, bowed and retreated. Shu Ming frowned and said, "Is it okay to have less dealings with him? You are not from the same group."
Songyin glanced at her Ama, "I am a loyal person, not like you." After saying this, he was afraid of being scolded, so he quickly went out with the tray.
Ask Sura to follow you to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart and hand over the incense to the people in front of you. Asked where Lu Run was again, he said that Long Live Master had just finished practicing a set of boxing and was waiting for his master to wash up. She yelled, and when she heard that the emperor was boxing, she felt relieved. Now I feel that the emperor's health is everyone's hope. Fortunately, the illness was not serious when it was suppressed. If it can be delayed, at least Prince Yu will not dare to act rashly and can maintain the superficial peace.
She stood at the entrance of the hall and looked back. After a while, she saw the emperor changing his clothes and coming out. His hair was freshly combed and his sideburns were the same cut. He was originally a dignified and good-looking man. He walked onto the corridor without leaving in a hurry. He turned around and waited for a while. When Lu Run came out, he slowly moved forward.
Songyin stepped aside, feeling unspeakably sad for some reason. Does the emperor love Lu Run or not? He was always half-hearted when he saw the concubine. Maybe he only had Lu Run in his heart! But Lu Run didn't think so. He still had a man's heart. Even if it was broken, he was not broken in his heart. He didn't covet this kind of favor at all.
She lowered her head, her mind full of chaos. The emperor came to her, and she knelt down to say goodbye.
The emperor was in a good mood today and spoke to her in a relaxed tone, "What are you doing here?"
Songyin rubbed his waist and said, "I'm here to pay my respects to my master. I'll also give you some fragrant cakes and take a look at Lu Run."
She saved Lu Run that time, and the emperor knew that they had a good friendship, and he became more kind to her. He paced down the steps with his hands clasped behind his back, allowing them to talk.
Lu Run still looked neither happy nor sad, with a smile in his eyes, and said in a manly voice: "I should have come to thank Mr. Tong, so why don't you come and see me?"
Songyin smiled and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not busy today, so I just happened to come and take a look at your injuries. How is it? Are you all healed?"
He nodded and said, "It's almost healed. The scars will gradually fall off."
It¡¯s okay to leave it like this, because it¡¯s not convenient to say anything with the emperor in front of you. The emperor was about to go to Sanxi Hall, so he winked at her to express that Sheng Gong was healthy and fine for the time being.
Songyin understood and lowered his hands to send the emperor in. The study room in the Yangxin Hall was not big, and he could hear the conversation inside while standing in front of the building. The emperor didn't call Lu Run by his first name. He had a small name called Ting Rang. Maybe it was sentimental, but the name seemed very charming, similar to Rong Shi's lingering sister's.
She clasped her hands together and sighed, turning her head to look at the sky. A pair of birds flew past each other, their wings flapping and making a puffing sound. The bright yellow glazed tiles blocked the view, and in a blink of an eye it was out of sight.
After leaving the Yangxin Hall and heading towards the Longzong Gate, he paused when he raised his eyes. He saw Rong Shi and Prince Yu standing face to face. They were about the same height, with the same bright moon and clear breeze. They didn't know what they were talking about. Despite the tense atmosphere, the expression on his face was calm, and he smiled when he saw her. She looked at the two people, feeling a little confused. She calmed down before stepping forward and said solemnly to Prince Yu, "Sixth Master." She bowed to Rong again and said, "Sir Rong."
This is a very fair attitude, and it does not favor anyone, and regards anyone as one of our own. Rong Shi said: "I happened to meet the prince, where have you been?"
Songyin said: "I'm going to the Yangxin Hall to deliver fragrant cakes." He glanced at Prince Yu and said, "What are you talking about? You seem quite happy talking."
Prince Yu smiled and said: "There will be a wedding event in the mansion tomorrow, so the post will not be posted. I will come to invite you in person, and I will show you my face and drink the wedding wine."
Song Yin said, "I have been so busy these two days that I forgot that tomorrow is Master Liu's wedding, so I would like to express my congratulations to Master Liu first. I have already selected capable people to help take care of the guests in the house. . I will be on duty tomorrow, so I won¡¯t be able to come to congratulate you in person. Please ask me, Amma, to help you. Mr. Six, please don¡¯t blame me and be patient with me.¡±
He smiled and said, "You are working for the master. You have heavy responsibilities. How can I blame you? When the time comes, it will be?That's it, we used to have a friendship as buddies, but then we got into trouble because of a small misunderstanding. Now I think it's childish. Taking this opportunity to shake hands and make peace, I will have to ask for a drink at your wedding in the future. Right now, we are still frozen, and we are unable to get along. Wouldn't it be a joke to outsiders? "
This attitude is so hypocritical that people can¡¯t see it clearly. Songyin looked at Rong Shi, he held up his hands and smiled humbly, "Sixth Master said this, which makes me feel ashamed. It's just my spirit. It's Liuye's big heart that he doesn't care about his humble position. Don't worry, Sixth Master, treat me and me When Songyin gets married, she will definitely come to the door in person to send a wedding invitation to Mr. Liu to express her gratitude. Songyin is a member of Mr. Liu, and her and I have the same heart. As long as Mr. Liu doesn't dislike her, she will never go out with Mr. Liu in the future. "
Prince Yu said hello and seemed very satisfied. He looked at Songyin again and said nothing, but a wave of light flashed in his eyes, passed by, and quickly disappeared.
Songyin bowed to see him off, and was relieved when he saw him crossing the threshold. She only heard half of their conversation. On the surface, they seemed to be reconciled, but she was still worried. She turned around and asked Rong Shi, "How long did it take for you to meet each other?"
He put his hands behind his hands and squinted his eyes to look out. The autumn sunshine fell on his brows, giving him an unusual feeling. The official uniforms of the guards are always the most dazzling presence in the Forbidden City. The middle single is pure white, which makes it look as colorful as blood. Others wear red, which is very vulgar, but he is simply beautiful in red. The silk and silk make-up gives off an aura of wealth and wealth, making people unable to take their eyes away. He gently lifted the corners of his lips and said, "It didn't take long, just a stick of incense. I said a few words, polite but not polite."
Songyin hummed, knowing that there was something behind it, "I couldn't tell the mystery just now. What did he say to you?"
He didn¡¯t intend to go into details, he just said it was nothing and passed it on vaguely.
She looked up at him with a confused expression and her eyes were like deer. He couldn't help but smile. Seeing her hair falling down under her bun, he put his hand behind her ears and comforted her with gentle words, "Don't worry, it's not an important thing. He is carrying a gun and a stick, and he is always smelling sour. There is no need to worry." Pay attention to him. He is about to get married. What else can he say? He has fallen behind others and he knows it well By the way, let me ask you, when I had dinner with my family yesterday, what did they think of me? What do you think? Have you gone back and talked to the old lady?"
Songyin was quite embarrassed, he hesitated and said: "Everyone praises you, everyone says good things about you. The old lady and the madam are naturally satisfied. There is nothing to criticize in what they say. They asked me when the decision will be made. The family also needs to make preparations.¡±
He was so happy that he spun around on the spot, "I'm just saying, for someone as lovable as me, there's nothing to be picky about! Everything is already prepared, it's just that things have been put together. Once Prince Yu's wedding is over, , the next day will be Rongxu's Yinshou, wait a moment, maybe three or five days later, I will ask a matchmaker to come to my door."
She nodded, forgetting what Amma said, and her mind was filled with wanting to be with him. When it came to getting married, I felt secretly happy in my heart, but I had to pretend to be reserved and asked him, "Who did the matchmaker ask for?"
Rong Shi said: "A first-class public servant is a good man."
??This has always been the case for marriages between two families, and a matchmaker is essential. A small family has a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law. They don¡¯t have such a wide circle, so they need a group of matchmakers who specialize in matchmaking. As for wealthy families, they have a dense network of relationships that cannot be broken through. There are people moving around the house, so there is basically no need for a matchmaker, and the princes and ministers are also willing to win over the two families. Unlike others, the two of them knew each other on their own, but when they decided to get married, they had to find a middleman to show off. Tie Liang is the brother of the queen, and his position as a first-class official is placed here. The matchmaker is decent, which makes the husband's family look solemn and the bride's family also has a good face.
Songyin thinks it¡¯s quite good, and she really feels like she¡¯s waiting to get married. She looked at him shyly and opened her lips to say something, but because there were so many people here, she couldn't open her mouth.
Rong Shi was always concerned about her every move. Seeing that she was reluctant to give up, he slightly bent down and asked, "You have something to tell me?"
She shook her head, nodded again, hesitated and said: "Keep it in mind, don't forget it."
This time it was really sweeter than eating honey. There was spring in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He smiled shyly and said: "Remember, you are more anxious than I am! Tomorrow I will join the family and not eat there. I will go to the palace." I came to find you. We can't be together. This time Prince Yu is getting married. He is too busy to care about us."
Songyin blushed, "You're not on duty, why are you in the palace?"
"I exchanged values ??with people. This gentleman is getting married, and there are people in the bodyguard who are fawning over him. He is worried about not having the opportunity to give gifts. I exchanged values, earned favors, and gained a good reputation. I killed two birds with one stone."
With her heart pounding, she turned around and said, "I have to go back, I'm busy."
He held her waistThe ribbon is tied with a silver bell, which shakes slightly and stirs up a series of "waves". She walked out for several steps before she realized that she was tripped by him, and she muttered in a low voice: "Let go."
He pursed his lips and just smiled, "Tomorrow."
She stamped her foot and said, "Let people see it."
He let go of his hand, and the tape was as soft as a puff of smoke, pulled by the silver bell, and fell down.
Songyin took two steps back and distanced herself from him. The tenderness in her heart welled up and she couldn't suppress it. She turned back and leaned in his arms for a moment, fearing that she would fall into the eyes of others and then separated quickly, without looking back she entered the corridor of the Internal Affairs Office. It's strange that I still feel anxious when I return to the Yamen. Every time I see him, I feel inadequate. I don't know when this problem will be cured.
She was still feeling dizzy. Seeing her coming back, her mother leaned over and said, "Just now, a message came from the Jingsi Room. The Yonghe Palace has announced that the imperial doctor will be appointed. The third girl is not feeling well."
Songyin groaned, "I'm going to take a look."
She hurried to Yonghe Palace again, because her and Ama's chess moves were different, and Rang Yu was trapped in the palace. She always felt very sorry for her. At this moment, he said that something was wrong with her, and he was not afraid of anything else except that she was pregnant. When they arrived at the Yonghe Palace, the imperial doctor had just finished the treatment. He cupped his hands and said, "You are very happy. I am here to congratulate you."
Songyin was so frightened that she couldn't breathe and almost fainted. Can a person with tuberculosis still get pregnant? I only asked Yu to sleep with her twice, so how could she be pregnant?
She stared blankly as the imperial doctor packed up his stalls and left. She wanted to ask again, but felt she had no way of asking. Turning around to see Yu, she was lying on the kang, just in a daze. She walked over and stood there unable to touch the north and south for a while, "What do you mean"
"Jade" turned around and asked her: "Do you think the emperor's illness can still be cured?"
She was startled for a moment, signaled her to be silent, dismissed the people standing outside the house, and came back to tell her: "I can't say whether it will be easy or not. It is said that this disease cannot be cured, but with proper care, it is possible that it will last three to five years. "
She sighed, "Today, Lu Run, who is in front of the emperor, came to see me according to the order."
Songyin was a little confused, "What is he here for?"
Let ¡®Yu¡¯ say: ¡°Tell me to pretend to be sick, pretend to be happy, and give me rewards and promotions.¡±
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ But I woke up soon, and sighed in my heart that the emperor's plan really didn't fail even for a moment. At this moment, he wants to tie the Tong family to his belt. He is willing to give up his position and carry his flag. His intentions are really good. As for them, the chess pieces in other people's hands can be manipulated as they wish. If you want to be promoted, just be promoted. As for promoting your status, it doesn't matter now. It's just hard work for Yu to remain empty-handed. When the emperor dies, the low-level concubines may have a chance to be released. Those above the concubines, regardless of whether they have been exposed or not, have no hope. They will only be alone in Shou'an Palace. forever.
The two sisters were speechless, sighing. After a long time, 'Yu' said: "Don't be like this, there is nothing to be sad about. I was the one who wanted to come in in the first place. I don't blame anyone, I only blame myself for my bad life. Anyway, I have done my best for the Tong family. , I admire you with no regrets. But you, it¡¯s difficult to be caught in the middle right now, right?"
Songyin thought of her predicament and sighed with a straight face: "I'm exhausted and have no other hope. I want to resign, but Ama's long speech is more verbose than the master. How dare I do that? Let's think about it again, what will happen if I resign? What to do? Even though we can't see the problems at home, we still have to keep them in mind if we can't solve them. Besides, I don't feel at ease if I leave Amma alone in the palace." She moved forward, "San'er, are you surprised? Amma and me? It was the two of us who came up with the bad idea to send people to the palace."
Jean 'Yu' shook his head, "Isn't there nothing I can do at that time? Who told us to have such a stubborn emperor?" He paused and seemed a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but want to talk and covered it up with one hand. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, when I met that eunuch today, my heart was pounding. Do you think I have a crush on him?"
Songyin was stunned, "You mean Lu Run?" He immediately shook his head like a rattle, "That's a eunuch. According to the facts, it's genuine. Don't do anything nonsense."
"Yu" made "Yu" pout, "How do you know Rong Er's goods are genuine? Look at his body, it's totally different from other eunuchs. He might be a fake."
Songyin thought for a while and said dullly: "Rong Shi has never been out of tune. Now that he has said that, it must be well-founded. Ninety percent of them have taken a peek."
"Jade"'s dream was shattered, and he seemed very disappointed. After the disappointment, he complained about Rong Shi, "That man is really worthless, does he still know how to write face?"
Songyin will definitely love men in the future. Hearing that "Yu" was asked to run against him, she was a little unhappy and pulled herFace said: "Don't scold him like that, he is reliable most of the time."
Let 'Yu' have no time to debate about Rong Shi's quality, and focus on Lu Run, "Me, I thought he was a good person the first time I saw him. It's such a pity to be purified In fact, as long as two people can With care, it doesn¡¯t matter if he is just a eunuch. I am lonely in the palace, so I have to find something to relieve myself, don¡¯t you think?"
Songyin vaguely guessed what she was going to do, and quickly reminded her, "Have you ever heard of Quan Guiren? You and the eunuch walked away and were exploited. Do you want to follow in her footsteps? Especially Lu Run, you can't have any ideas. They have their own plans." Damn it. You like him, and the emperor also likes him, do you understand?"
This time, 'Yu' was about to cry, "I said, why do I hate the emperor so much? There is such a level of love! No wonder everyone in the world wants to be the emperor. Being the emperor is great. You can do whatever you want, no matter how cold it is. How big an appetite can a person have? If he has such a wide grasp, who will get sick if he doesn't get sick? That's right!"
She cursed and cursed for Lu Run and hated the emperor deeply. It's strange that before entering the palace, I had great respect and admiration for him, but when I went to bed, I became enemies for ten generations. Even so, it was just a matter of words. A decree was issued the next day, "Tong Jia's virtues are gentle and her nature is prudent. She ordered the Jin Dynasty to confer the title of Concubine Yu. If the Tong family is full of meritorious deeds, they are specially allowed to be promoted." Enter the Zhenghuang Banner and admire this."
"Long live." A family of young and old knelt down to thank them. A concubine was born in the family. They didn't know whether they should be happy or not.
But the time for issuing the decree was chosen very carefully, it was on the wedding day of Prince Yu. I saw that he was weak and incompetent, and deliberately disgusted him. After all, he was born to a mother, and the emperor's energy in doing things was really damaged to the bone. .
