In fact, the past eighteen years have been smooth, and Songyin has experienced almost no major setbacks. ¡ª¡ªAlthough the Tong Jia surname is a Baoyi, it occupies a seat among the eight noble surnames of the Manchu people. The family business has developed to this day, and is not as famous as the Guan family who looks at the treasury or the family who makes medicinal materials. However, everyone knows that their wealth is insignificant. In terms of family background, it is enough to overwhelm them. Those two families. Rich and decent, her parents love each other and don't quarrel. Even though she was not as valued as Jin Mo when she was a child, she still lived a carefree life and didn't know what it was like to be sad. Now that she is older, the difficulties in love are imposed on her by others. She has learned the hard way now that maybe she was too careless about feelings. When the Rong family came to propose marriage to Rong Xu, Amma brought her daughter with her, so she felt that she and Rong Shi were in a natural relationship. After all, although she is an official outside, her horizons are still not broad. In the three-acre land of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the people who come and go are either the officials and eunuchs working there, or the masters of the harem. , it was like a stream of light in the dark night, crossing her chaotic and mediocre world. She saw that he was good-looking and had a good heart, so she fell in love without hesitation. She didn't expect that something would go wrong later, and the appearance of Prince Yu was unexpected.
She slept with Enie at night, leaned into Enie's arms and asked, "Did you and my Amma go well at that time?"
The wife thought for a while and said: "What does smoothness mean? When I was young, I was different from you. I helped your mother Guo Luo with accounting at home. Basically, I never left the first door or the second door. Here we are. As you are getting older, there are plans for marriage in your family. You, Guo Luomafa, serve as the commander-in-chief in Yili. You were originally unwilling to agree to this marriage. You said that you are so good at Waiba Banner. Why are you marrying Baoyi? I look down on your Ama. Later you Amma is smart and knows how to flatter people. When Guo Luomafa returned to Beijing to visit relatives, he would come here every day to calm down. Guo Luomafa loves to raise pigeons. He memorized the pigeon scriptures overnight and went to the bird market to find them. What a good pigeon. He doesn¡¯t have anything like copper wing rings, iron wing rings, ink rings, or purple rings. He has money and buys the most expensive ones. Just like that, you Guo Luomafa was bribed by him, saying that since you are so sincere , it was no longer possible not to agree, so he married me to him."
Songyin sighed, "You are also married, how good I am to you."
"Yes, I really have nothing to choose from your Ama. Although he is sometimes lazy and has the bad habits of a banner man, he is not bad and knows what to do and what to do. No." The wife smoothed her hair and said tenderly, "When you were a child, I asked someone to tell your fortune, and they said you would have sixty years of good fortune and a good life! If you have money to spend, and someone to help you, everything will go well. This can also be seen. I will definitely marry into a good family. How else can I go smoothly? Whether this marriage in the Rong family will be successful or not, we can be normal. There are many good men in the world, and Rong Shi No fate, there is someone who should be suitable for you waiting for you at home. Girls have to be like that when they get married. The man's family will naturally love him who begs and pleads to welcome him back, and the one who in turn cries and shouts to marry, must go there. If you don't have a good time, you will be squeezed to death. Mrs. Rong's family comes to talk to you. No matter what she says, I don't think this is a good relationship. It's a good thing that the eldest girl is not under her control. Otherwise, such a wicked mother-in-law, Stare at the water until it dries up, stare at the tree until it dies, and my daughter will fall into the pit of fire!"
Songyin fell silent, wrapped herself in a quilt and sighed, "Don't mention their home, just go further and further away."
The wife said: "Then you are planning not to go back and forth? Have you made up your mind?"
She hummed, "What else can I do? I'm not a shy person, so I'll force myself to do it."
The wife said: "Just think about it openly. It is not good for Rong to be jealous and cause trouble. If that man is not the emperor's brother, he is just an ordinary prince. If he makes trouble, he will make trouble and no one is afraid of him. But now, the emperor is not well. Okay, if Long Yu dies, who will conquer the throne? Today's Sixth Master, tomorrow's Emperor You can't offend anyone. You can't offend the emperor. It's not impossible for you to insist on getting married, but what happens after you get married? The Rong family will not end well. , do you still have a good life? Just take a look at Mr. Liu's behavior as I say. If he is sincere to you, you"
Calculate her so much, what about such people? She closed her eyes and said: "It's late at night, go to sleep, I will still be on duty tomorrow!"
The wife had no choice but to leave it to her.
??You talk about sleeping, but you can¡¯t sleep! I kept my eyes open until the fourth watch. When I got up to wash up, my head was still dizzy. I didn't feel relieved until I entered the palace gate. /
People are confused and it is difficult to get things done. They sum up the accounts and calculate them seven or eight times, but the figures are different every time. She sat in front of the case and burst into tears. Her mother was looking at her. She casually took out one of the tribute bronze mirrors and placed it in front of her. "You must be a bit promising. Look at your black eyebrows." What a stove eye! Who used to boast in Haikou, "I won't get married in the future, and I will learn my trade from Amma." Is this what you said? If you hadn't met Rong Shi, would you still be alive? This I have completely forgotten what I said earlier, you are really my good daughter."
She was unhappy, unwilling to listen to what he said, and made the abacus make random noises.
????????????????
Songyin stopped her hand and looked at him blankly, "My biological father!"
He ¡®touched¡¯ the back of his head and turned around, ¡°Come on, I won¡¯t say anything anymore.¡±
She breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the abacus beads in trance, and said for a long time: "I want to ask for a decree to go to the palace steward." Chengde and Shengjing both have branches of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and wherever the emperor goes, the presence of people like them is indispensable. . Instead of suffering in Beijing, it is better to go outside for a while, run errands, and have a clearer mind.
Who would have thought that her Amma immediately refused, "If you are a hero, you should face the difficulties. What kind of hero do you think you are if you become a deserter?"
She said helplessly: "I'm not a hero, I'm just a girl."
¡°Perhaps in Shu Ming¡¯s impression, this daughter can stand up to most of his sons, and he can no longer feel her gender, so he asks her to be a hero. In addition, people outside are not as obedient as those in the Forbidden City. If a girl leaves her hometown, who will help her if she encounters a problem? So just stay in Beijing and don't go anywhere.
"If you tell that bastard to give up his job after just one blow, why don't you think about your old parents? If you don't say it will make us look good, at least don't give us a bad look. Cheer up and straighten your waist. It's not that they don't want us, it's that they can't reach us!" He sucked his lips and thought for a moment, "Take a moment and go to Prince Yu's Mansion to have a look, your appearance is really impressive. If you are injured, it is your duty to go and offer condolences."
She said loudly: "If I don't go, I have no reason to go to you! He has not harmed me enough. I will go to visit him again unless my spine is broken!" She pushed her abacus and said, "Today I can't settle the accounts. Please help me. I'll go up to Jingqi Pavilion to see Master Guo."
Shuming let out a laugh, and she had already lifted her robe and walked out of the door.
The weather is really cold, and the branches and leaves stretched out on the palace wall are beginning to turn yellow and fall. Winter in Beijing always comes crisp and intense, and it¡¯s already so cold in October that I can¡¯t even stretch out my hands. Looking up into the distance, I saw a layer of hazy yellow condensing in the air, like frozen broth that could be poured down at any time.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s going to snow,¡± she exhaled, and the clouds filled her eyes. No matter how dazed her mind was, she still had to do errands. As she walked, she thought about it, had all the hand stoves been sent to the concubines? Is the Dilongzi heating okay? When she walked to the Qianqing door, she saw that the edges of the ten peace vats were covered with ice. She reached out and knocked on them. She found that the ice layer was still very thick.
She was annoyed and went to the security office to ask the steward, "Where are the people who burned the vat? There is ice in the vat outside, and you are still looking at the sky! Who will be responsible if something goes wrong? No one will die. Already?"
It is very important to burn water tanks in winter. There are 308 large and small water tanks in the palace, which are specially used to prevent fire. Beijing gets very cold in the winter. You can drive a car on the back sea, not to mention the tank. Therefore, it must be heated at all times to prevent the stored water from solidifying. There is a eunuch in the Security Department who is responsible for burning the vat, and the target of the investigation is very clear. The steward was horrified when he heard this and hurriedly sent people to ask questions, but the eunuch was not there. It was said that he had been looking for Gong Tong all morning, and no one recognized him.
Songyin sneered and said to the person in charge: "I only talk to you. Since you are sick, you should find someone to take over. If you can handle your errands, just do it. If you can't, you will be fired immediately. You don't need the chief manager, I can do it." Do it for you."
The steward was so frightened that he said in a loud voice: "I opened my eyes and was busy getting charcoal from everywhere. I neglected the peace tank. Please take care of me, and I won't dare to do it again next time."
She clasped her hands and said, "The ten peace jars in front of the Qianqing Palace are right under the eyes of the emperor and the minister of military aircraft. No one has noticed that they were your creation." She turned around and said, "Hurry up, or you will fall into the emperor's eyes. Just stop living."
With everyone behind her busy, she walked out, raised her head, and saw thin snow beads hitting her face. It was really snowing.
Standing in a daze on the sky street, he habitually looked at the back left door. His check-in room had been moved. Even in a city, if there is no fate, even chance encounters will not be possible. She felt disappointed, Mrs. Rong's attitude had been made clear, but without seeing him, she still felt unwilling to give up. Although we know that it is better to fight than to see each other, even though we know that the two of us have entered a dead end and there is no way out.
She walked onto East Long Street with slumped shoulders. She was in such a bad mood, but she had no right to rest, so she still had to run around. When I entered Jingqi Pavilion, I saw that Guo Guiren's lounge chair had been moved under the eaves. Half of his body was exposed on the door of the palace, and he was sticking his buttocks out to draw a picture of cooling off the cold - the weeping willows in front of the pavilion cherished the spring breeze. I just finished the second stroke of the word "Ting".
She came in and exchanged greetings"Is the young master busy?"
Guo Guiren threw away his pen and turned around, his round belly stretching the edges of his waistcoat so high. When he saw her, he pulled her to sit down and said eagerly: "I have already finished reading the two books you gave me last time. Do you have any more?"
Songyin knew that he had betrayed her before. Even if she was kept in the dark, she still felt embarrassed when facing her. She smiled with difficulty, "Does it look good?"
She nodded repeatedly, "The feelings are strong and sincere, stronger than those between men and women. Right now, my mind is full of Ximen Qing and Wu Dalang. She is as weak as a 'flower', saying, 'Ah Da, I want this, Ah Da, I want that'. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and her words are embarrassing."
Songyin grinned, "I have another copy over there."
"What is it?" Guo Guiren asked, "Is there anything like it?"
Songyin was dumbfounded, thinking that he was really a smart man who knew how to draw inferences from one example. She said belatedly: "I really don't have Fahai and Xu Xian, but what I'm talking about is Chen Ajiao and Wei Zifu. Neither of them wants Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so they live together."
Guo Guiren's eyes shone, "Mr. Tong, you really traveled ten miles and read thousands of books. You can find stories like this."
Songyin coughed to cover up: "If you have a narrow vision, you should read more books. If you know that there are all kinds of strange things in the world, and you will not be surprised by them in the future, it will show that I am knowledgeable."
Guo Guiren laughed loudly, "I like your temper so much, it's well-behaved without losing taste."
Songyin held up her hands and said she would give in. After all, she couldn't bear it, and she couldn't explain it to her clearly. She just asked her how she was doing recently and whether it was okay for her little master to be in there.
Guo Guiren has always had a silly spirit, so he lifted up his clothes to show her his belly, "He can move, struggle with his hands and feet, and do somersaults Look, look!"
Songyin saw a bulge in the belly of the white flower, and her hair stood on end, "This is too scary."
Guo Guiren smiled and said, "It's nothing scary. When you get married and have a child, you won't feel scary anymore. Although I don't love the emperor, I love this child. It's great that he can be my companion." I think it would be great to have a princess like Master Hui. If you give birth to a son, you have to be raised by others, and all the hardships will be in vain."
But except for her and Prince Yu, almost everyone expected her to have a son. Especially the emperor, because time is limited, the urgent mood is simply indescribable.
She couldn't say anything more, so she told her: "Our little master has two more months, the first month at the latest, it will be soon."
She hummed, "I heard that giving birth to a child will allow the female members of the family to enter the palace. I want my E Ni to come, and I also want my E Ke to come out 3. They both come together. Manager Tong can think of something for me. ?"
Songyin nodded, "When the time comes, I will give them signs and let them come in to see you."
Guo Guiren has not seen her family for more than ten months, so giving birth is not only a good opportunity to welcome a new life, but also a good opportunity to get married, so she began to wait with hope.
Sometimes without knowing, you can live happier. Songyin looked at her happy expression and felt mixed emotions in her heart. I was still a little sad when I came out of Jingqi Pavilion. I was thinking about the time when the child would land. It was the coldest time of winter. In the past two days, I heard that the emperor was ill again, with low fever, hot flashes, and difficulty sleeping all night. However, in order to deal with the civil and military officials of the court, he still gritted his teeth and looked at the court and pretended to be peaceful. Winter is the hardest time for those who are sick. As long as they can survive the winter, spring will be much easier. I hope that this child will bring good luck when he comes and give Rong Shi enough time to make arrangements. I hope that Prince Yu will show his flaws and let Rong Shi eliminate him in one fell swoop.
Rong Shi I feel so sad when I think of this name. I haven't seen him for three days, and I am afraid of forgetting his appearance, so I often recall it quietly. Probably thinking too much, he suddenly appeared in front of her. She was a little dazed. She stopped and took a closer look. He was also in the passage, not far from the opposite side. He was wearing an azure official robe and tied with gold and jade. belt. The wind was strong and blew open the knee pads on the curtains, revealing countless pleats, like a fan.
She was stunned. She knew it was not an illusion, but she couldn't approach him. He had been rejected by his family, and it seemed awkward to say goodbye. She tried her best to smile, maybe the smile was uglier than crying, "What a coincidence"
He was already walking towards her quickly. Next to him was the Yanqi Gate. With a wave of his hand, he pushed the eunuch on the gate away and pulled her into the corner between the enclosure and the palace wall. He bent down and looked at her carefully, but she turned her face away from him. He felt that the matter was serious and cried out: "You don't want to look at me seriously?" He almost cried after thinking about it, "Sister"
Songyin's eyes were red, and she choked and said: "Are you here to have a break with me? I have already made it clear to my wife, and I will do it according to her wishes. When she says it's cool, it's cool, and when she says it's done, it's done. It¡¯s all up to her.¡±
He groaned, "We finally met the tenon, how could it be over so easily?"
Songyin sobbed and said: "What should I do? You just want us to be together, and you don't care about the life and death of your family? What my wife said is quite reasonable. I have actually thought of many things, but I can't get over it. , always stalling for time. This time she made up her mind for me. Even though I was reluctant, I should still focus on the overall situation. You and Liuye Buku, I can¡¯t blame you for the bad things he did. Son, even I want to beat him. But we are just one move away from him. Is he really injured or is he pretending to be injured? The emperor always pretends to be deaf and mute. He makes such a big fuss and is instigating nothing more than our two families. If you give in, he will be happy."
"What the hell, if I had known this, I regret not poking his head in! Let's just ignore him and talk about our own business. What do you think? Do you not want me anymore?" He felt more and more. The sky was about to fall, and he said in panic, "You can't leave me behind. We made a good deal, but if you change your mind midway, what do I expect?"
Songyin felt aggrieved and angry, "Then what do you want me to do? It's your mother who came to see me. I can't please her, so how can I be her daughter-in-law? Even if I barely get in, okay?" That's all, if there is any setback, I will be the culprit, and I cannot bear this crime."
Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, he panicked and said, "I won't agree. It doesn't matter if you say I'm being careless or shameless. Anyway, I won't agree. If you don't marry me, I will become a monk. You marry someone else." , I will go to your kang every day and knock wooden fish to see how you get close to your man." He began to act shamelessly, pushed her to the wall, held her face and kissed her hard, until she couldn't breathe. Out of breath, he asked her, "Is it sweet? Do you like it?"
Songyin couldn't hold back her tears and nodded honestly, "I like it, but it's of no use to like it. I can't be your Rong family's daughter-in-law anymore."
But he knew how to cover up the water and earth when soldiers came. He rolled up his sleeves and wiped her face, saying: "I had already thought of a move before I came here. If you don't want to be our daughter-in-law, I will be your son-in-law." . You ask our Ama and the old lady at home, do you want someone to step in? I will bring my own dowry to accompany me, so just marry me!"
