    She said this and walked away, leaving the old lady and her wife anxiously like ants on a hot pot.  Download the full episode - Call Qing¡¯s brother and daughter-in-law to come and discuss Yichen¡¯s affairs.

    "Why didn't you tell us back?" Mrs. Rong frowned and said, "It's a good thing that I helped cover it up. What would happen if something happened!"

    The old lady scolded angrily with a sullen face: "A seed that cannot be supported by mud! I originally said that I would be a comprador for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I didn't say anything. I was secretly worried about the friendship between the young manager of the Tong family and Rong Shi.  You also know. Since you have arranged such a job for me, you have to be more careful. I know that money is flowing in your hands and your heart feels itchy when you look at it. But greed also requires skill, and we are all like you,  Substituting one thing for another, when all the royal chefs in the palace are deaf and blind? You are too brave, ask me to tell you what you are good at! I am pointing out my brother's future, so that I can revive the lintel of your Shen family. After all, it is not a problem to live in someone else's house.  . It's better for you to hide it. If the second girl hadn't come to talk about it today, we would all have been kept in the dark. When something happens again, the Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Punishment will come to arrest the person.  Our Rong family is a serious official family, and the master compiles books and educates people, so if you bring down your reputation, wouldn't it be a shame to be polite!"

    Brother Qing¡¯s daughter-in-law burst into tears after hearing this. The old lady¡¯s words about living with someone else were not a problem, and there were signs of severing the relationship.  They lived a comfortable life in Beijing. If they went back to Fangshan now, they might not be able to adapt to the hard life.

    She cried and wiped her tears, "Old lady, you are wise, our brother is young, and it is inevitable for children to be confused sometimes. He came back and told me that I taught him a lesson, and he already knew that he was wrong. I promise to do it next time.  I won't do it again. I was also afraid of making the old lady angry, so I didn't dare to reply to you. If I had known that it was like this, even if I was punished by the old lady, I would definitely make amends to you." He hurriedly pulled Yi Zhuang and asked her to kowtow to the old lady, "  Just look at the face of the big girl, you always love her so much. For such a big girl, when she goes back to her hometown, she will be surrounded by unscrupulous people, and her good children will be spoiled."

    Yizhuang cried until the pear blossoms rained down. She hugged the old lady's legs and cried on her back, "Old lady, please forgive my brother for once! He is ignorant and has been too eager to start his own business as soon as possible.  Household, don't cause trouble to the old lady and my wife. I didn't expect that he didn't know the depth and made such a mistake. He learned a lesson and will definitely reflect on himself in the future and never make the old lady angry again. I have also thought about it.  It's been more than half a month, and when Master Tong mentions it now, isn't there any suspicion of deliberate instigation?"

    Brother Qing's daughter-in-law said at the right time: "The eldest girl is right. This Miss Tong family can't let go of Rong Shi. Seeing that the old lady loves the eldest girl, she deliberately harms us in front of the old lady. She has no good intentions and wants to  Why don't you have to find such a job for our brother? We can't say it, because we can't lose this face; if we say it, it has tricked us like this"

    These two sentences made people frown, and Mrs. Rong said: "Everyone in the world knows that the comprador of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a 'fat' vacancy, and not just anyone can go there if he wants to. People see Rong as a real face and will accommodate you. It's not easy for me to do errands."  It's unjust for you to scold someone! It's not right for you to teach your children like this. Sooner or later something will happen. Yi Zhuang is the same. You need to know how to advance and retreat. Being kind is kind. When someone comes, say hello and say hello. You are so talkative.  Yin Qing will not suffer any loss. And you" She shook her head and did not want to make any more comments. The Shen family is the old lady's natal relatives, and it would not be easy for the old lady to make things worse for her.

    The old lady became more and more dissatisfied when she heard what she said, and said in a cold voice: "Although we are relatives, we are still close to each other. If relatives are far away from Xiang, they don't have to go back to their hometown in Fangshan. Just follow Rong Shi's wishes and stay in the city.  Buy another house, you can just move out and live alone. If there are any difficulties, you can take care of them. The most important thing is that the child is older, and there is no need to delay the eldest girl. "

    It is already clear at this point that the Rong family is afraid of being implicated by their poor relatives, so they are scared out of their wits at the slightest sign of trouble and are anxious to get rid of them.  Even the vague idea of ??wanting to accept Yizhuang has been given up, and I plan to put it all away.

    Qing¡¯s brother and daughter-in-law were dumbfounded, and Yi Zhuang was furious. She felt that her long service of serving tea and water was all in vain. They didn¡¯t want you anymore, so they left her with just one word.

    She still wanted to save her, and sobbed: "Old lady, please keep me. I have some shortcomings, and I am willing to learn from the old lady. If you let us go, where will we orphans and widowed mothers go  "

    The old lady lowered her hand and caressed her face, "You are a good child. You have stayed with me for three or four months. I treat you as my granddaughter. But there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. The youth of a girl's family  "I can't afford to waste time. I can move around after leaving the house. If you miss me and come back to see me often, I will be happy." He pulled the two of them up and said, "This is not a bad thing. To be honest, I have thought about it several times.  Well, I never had a chance to tell you. Now that you are here, just do what I just said."

    It seems that there is no changeWith no room left, Yi Zhuang bit her lip and fell silent. After a while, she said: "Buying property in Beijing is not fun. I originally expected Yi Chen to come, but now it's too late. Otherwise" She turned her head.  Look at my mother, "Let's find a way to go back!"

    Brother Qing¡¯s daughter-in-law said, ¡°Where are we going back? In order to raise travel expenses, we sold the old house.¡±

    The old lady was getting more and more disgusted. She knew what was going on in Fangshan. She couldn't get married at the moment, so she was thinking of extorting money to make this trip worthwhile, right?  She raised her finger to the eldest lady, "Prepare a hundred taels of silver, send someone out to inquire about it, and go to a place to settle down."

    Mrs. Rong responded that it was easy to ask gods but difficult to send them away. When the time came, it became a responsibility on their shoulders. She left them alone halfway, as if they were unjust.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.  Anyway, that's it, I just wanted to make some money, so I took Yi Zhuang back to the yard to clean up.  The old lady shook her head, "After all, it would be a shame for a small family to get married. Looking back and forth, I feel really sad. There are so many Songyin in the world, but there is only this one in the whole of Beijing.  Thinking about it just now, I also find it funny. I usually look at the 'very' energetic children, but I have also learned to ignore them."

    Mrs. Rong said: "No, it seems that she and Rong Shi still have the same heart. I have no prejudice against her. It's because the emperor is involved and we can't afford to offend her."

    The old lady took the cigarette stick presented by the girl, took two puffs, and exhaled a stream of white smoke, "But what should I do? Tigers in the East Mountains eat people, and tigers in the West Mountains also eat people. I asked about several houses, but he couldn't find any.  If you can, you can't 'force' him to get married. Besides, the current situation is not good, so why don't you let it go and don't cause any trouble for him."

    Mrs. Rong sighed, "Why would I want to 'force' him? I was thinking that now Mr. Long Live has also fallen in love with Songyin. Rong Shi has a family and is an 'account' to Mr. Long Live. The girl from the Tong family must not  I wish to be a little girl, but now that I have a little nanny, I will stop thinking about her. As for whether she is with the emperor or not, it has nothing to do with us, and the emperor cannot be blamed for this."

    The old lady sighed, "Three feet of ice is not as cold as a day, haven't you seen clearly? According to me, what's so great about the emperor is that he was reincarnated well. We should be born in the Wuya family, better than him."  I can still bear it!¡±

    Grandma looks at her grandson and likes her no matter how much she looks at him.  It's not a joke to say that one level of officialdom can crush people to death.  Now that the Sixth Prince successfully succeeded to the throne, Rong Shi wanted to overthrow him, either by treason or by serving as an errand.  If you want to make trouble, the dog-headed guillotine is waiting for you!

    The three of them finally moved out of the Congrong family compound. When Songyin received the news, she was sorting out the "flower" rosters sent by various banners.  There is a draft in February, the new emperor ascends the throne, the harem is still empty, and the emperor is no longer an emperor.  She is very careful in picking out 'girls' and is full of hope.  There were so many beautiful girls. Mr. Liu discovered the benefits of beauties after wandering among the flowers. None of them were better than her as a steel rod.  Although she turned against Lu Run, she clearly remembered his words. He warned her that if she wanted to keep the Rong family, she couldn't let the emperor get his wish.  She kept it in mind and just hung on like this. When he forgot and lost patience, she would be rewarded.

    Improve step by step, don¡¯t rush forward.  Yi Zhuang left Rong Mansion as she expected, but it also made her very happy.  She stood up and stretched her muscles, opened the window and looked outside. There was still snow on the branches, and a cluster of green buds appeared among the white. Everything was developing in a good direction.

    "Does the Manufacturing Office have anything to say about this situation? How is Shen Yichen?"

    Su La said at the bottom: "As you ordered, he was transferred to the back barracks to support the carriage and horses. Now he is quiet, and he can't touch the vinegar bottle, and he can't make waves."

    She hummed, "Just leave him alone. If he wants to, stay here. Give him a try for a year and a half. If he can make people feel at ease, then assign him errands. If he can't keep it, resign yourself. Don't keep him."  , just give him three to five taels of silver and let him go."

    Sulla responded and went to the manufacturing office to deliver the message.  She felt refreshed and went out to look at the courtyard. A batch of Yuan satin had just arrived in the capital from Jiangnan. She sent a cart to the palace first for the adults to take a look at.  Her mother put her hands behind her back and asked, "How much did you produce last year?"

    The eunuch said: "Last year, silk production was high. Jiangning Weaving Mansion added 3,000 new looms. It currently has 10,000 satin looms and 50,000 weavers. It can produce more than 200,000 yuan satin pieces a year. The palace expenses  Xiao, 'Jing' picked out ten thousand horses and sent them in first. The leftovers from the previous year were thrown out, and the old satin was transported to the market for sale. They were all boots, and they were sold out as soon as they were put in the cabinet." After saying this, he read the poem.  Yin glanced at it, grinned, took out a paper bag from the lapel of his mandarin jacket, and held it out with both hands, "This is the most famous embroidery work in Jiangnan. I made custom embroidery on the Yuan satin to make skirts for Mr. Tong."

    Songyin took it with a smile, opened it and saw that the satin was as black as ink,Yingying glowed with indigo light.  She had always felt that Yuan Duan was old-fashioned and could only be used by elderly people, but when she got this embroidery on her hands, she was so beautiful that she was impressed.  Satin became the best foundation, which made the peony and magpie flowers more and more radiant. The fine stitching and smooth blooming made the color of each petal change from light to dark.  , it is really excellent craftsmanship.

    She handed it to Amma to see, ¡°What a good job!¡±

    Shuming nodded, "Keep it, you can use it when you are forty."

    She twitched the corner of her mouth, annoyed that her mother didn't understand beauty and didn't want to talk to him anymore. She turned around and nodded to the eunuch, "Thank you for bringing it to me all the way."

    The eunuch smiled flatteringly, "It's fine if Mr. Tong likes it. I'm in charge of Yuan Duan. I can't spare any other tricks. Just look at the embroiderer's skills. I asked her to embroider two pieces."  "

    She stroked it gently, and because there was a rough spot on her fingertips, she actually scratched the satin.

    The eunuch said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tong."

    It turns out that this plain-colored Yuan Satin looks inconspicuous, but it is extremely delicate. It really requires well-maintained hands to touch it.  Songyin smiled awkwardly, "I ruined a good thing."

    The eunuch hurriedly said no, "You can't belittle yourself. You are not the lady in the boudoir who specializes in playing piano and chess. You are a working girl. Thousands of people and things need to be taken care of by you. You can't make almond tofu."  hand."

    This eunuch can talk and praise others, and she doesn't take things from others for free. Just loosen her fingers and let him enjoy them endlessly.  She returned to the check-in room holding the satin, looked at it again and again, and liked it very much.  I wanted to stay, but I also felt that Amma was right, she would only dare to wear it when she was about forty years old.  It's a pity to leave it alone. There happened to be two pieces, so give one to Old Mrs. Rong and leave the other to Grandma.

    She packed her things and picked another piece of brocade for Mrs. Rong.  After everything was packed up, people were sent to find out if Rong was really not in the palace. Su La came back with news that Mr. Rong had gone to Chengde on orders to prepare for the summer vacation and the autumn festival.  Songyin sat silently, closing her eyes and thinking. She was anxious to prepare these things just after spring started. It can be seen that even though he became the emperor, he was still as small-minded as ever.

    She asked: "When did you go and when will you come back?"

    Sulla said: "We just set out this morning, and we have to wait for at least twenty days. After twenty days, there will be an assessment at the bodyguard office, and he will be the one to preside over it."

    She nodded. She couldn¡¯t see her in the palace for twenty days, but what about outside?  She had a plan and had to start planning the next thing.  She is not the kind of weak girl who waits for men to take care of everything. She doesn't need to worry about things she can do by herself.  He is in a difficult situation now, but in a relaxed and happy environment, he is happier than anyone else.  Songyin followed her, feeling particularly sorry for the man and wanting him to be happy, but not wanting him to have his spine bent, so she would do her best to take on the burden for him.  The difficulty is only temporary and will get better in the future. She just wants to live a peaceful life with him. It's okay to sing "husband" as "wife" or "husband" as "wife". As long as two people are together, there will be no third person to disturb her.  Chaos will happen.

    She found a brocade box, packed the clothing materials, removed the items and asked Sula to take them out of the palace and send them to the Rong Mansion.  She was happy that her cousin Yi Zhuang was gone. It didn't seem particularly shameful for her to lower her status for Rong Shi and show friendship to the old lady and madam again.

    She was still busy with the draft. The daughters of officials of fourth rank and above were compiled into a book and sent to Cining Palace for the Empress Dowager to review.

    The Queen Mother is now very satisfied, the throne is finally in the hands of her youngest son, and she has nothing to worry about anymore.  The only worry was the emperor's heir. Emperor Daxing had only one son behind him. The emperor's childlessness would shake the foundation of the country. She was anxious to find a harem for her beloved son, so she agreed to all the brochures she was sent. "I don't worry if you are accurate."  Do as you wish!"

    Songyin said, "The draft will start in a while, and there is no one in the palace who can make up his mind, so we still have to work with Lafayette and ask Lafayette to preside over it."

    The Queen Mother nodded, "You have to pay close attention to the canonization of the Queen and the Fourth Concubine, especially the Queen" He glanced at her, and there was something in his words, "Who do you think is suitable?"

    Songyin smiled and said: "If the nobles below are always here, I can still give you advice, but for concubines and above, I shouldn't speak for you. In fact, I know what I'm doing. I ordered you to go and give me advice."  When Lafayette is doing something, let¡¯s see what kind of temperament the girl has at home and whether she is in line with Lafayette¡¯s wishes.¡±

    As she said this, the people around her were listening attentively.  The two concubines consecrated by Fu Jin were not among the four noble and virtuous concubines. Dong Fujin was named Shen, and Fu Cha Fuji was named Yu. They were not in charge of the harem, and they just often came to accompany Lafayette to relieve his boredom.  The Queen Mother is also interesting. One of the 'touch' cards is missing, which makes her feel uncomfortable. She always talks about which girl should be given a title.  This time it¡¯s the draft, and it¡¯s getting more and moreUnfortunately, the two concubines were on pins and needles.

    Originally, the emperor had never been lucky enough, and the reason must have been Master Tong.  At present, the harem is expanding, and countless beauties like flowers and jade have come in. Apart from seniority, I have no advantage at all.  It was Tong Jiasongyin who recommended them to marry Prince Yu. Now she says that only noble people can give her advice. She clearly puts them among the low-level concubines. It is simply insulting!  It's just that for the time being, it's hard to get angry in front of Lafayette. Looking for a reason later, I have to look for her bad luck.

    Lafayette was completely unaware. He held up his old flower mirror and looked at the writing on the book, "This Guo Bululu is the daughter of the cabinet minister Yunhui's family" He turned to look at the portrait and sighed, "It's a  A child who has his hair and face straightened." He turned to the old man in front of him, Grandma Guan, and said, "Look, why do you have the demeanor of Concubine Kang?"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out away.

    The Concubine Kang was the concubine of Grandpa Cheng. She had a deep friendship with the Queen Mother, but her life was short-lived. She passed away the year after Grandpa Cheng died, and she was only in her early thirties that year.  There were very few people in the harem who could be called friends. The Queen Mother had always been obsessed with this handkerchief friend. When she saw someone with a similar appearance, she felt that they were very close to each other.

    The Queen Mother reported a few more names, and Songyin wrote them all down, waiting for someone to inquire after leaving Cining Palace.  What made her most happy was that the Queen Mother did not reveal her intention to appoint her to the harem. People's ideas will change as the environment changes. Now that the country has changed hands, there is no need to win over the Tong family anymore. Of course, the Queen Mother's thoughts  Also active.

    This is good. The emperor at least listens to the Queen Mother. As long as the Queen Mother doesn't let go, she can escape smoothly.

    She thought so, and the two concubines naturally realized what the Queen Mother meant. Tong Jiasongyin wanted to be the Queen, there was no chance!  Dilongzi in Concubine Shen's palace immediately had a problem, and someone came to tell Master Xiao Tong.  Songyin let out a long breath. It seemed that he could make up for the regrets he had last time.  She responded, turned to the inner dining room, filled some pig casings with some chicken blood, and happily went to Zhongcui Palace.  .
