Chapter 642 If She Had a Daughter
In the afternoon, Fourth Master asked Su Peisheng to bring over the official documents and work in the main courtyard.
Even at night, he rested in the main courtyard.
In the early morning of the next day, after Ruoyin sent fourth master off to court, he lay down again.
It was already noon when she woke up again.
Nanny Liu helped Ruoyin to the hall to have dinner, and said with a smile, "Fu Jin, the master is loving you, otherwise, he wouldn't have planted such a beautiful flower as Qianrihong in our courtyard."
"Isn't that right, you are Fujin, you are different from those concubines and concubines in the backyard, not to mention being popular for a thousand days, you can be popular for a lifetime." Qiaofeng echoed.
Only Banmei followed Ruoyin respectfully without saying a word.
After all, he came out of the Forbidden City, not that naive.
"Farewell, let's talk about this in our courtyard, and we are not allowed to mention a word outside."
Ruoyin knew that the "red" Liu Nanny referred to meant nothing more than being favored.
"Understood." Nanny Liu and Qiaofeng responded.
"A person is not happy for a thousand days, and a flower is not red for a thousand days. Although the name of a thousand-day red is festive, it does not bloom all year round, but only blooms between July and October every year. Because the color is gorgeous and shiny. , the flowers do not wither after drying, and remain unchanged for a long time, so it is called Qianrihong."
Ruoyin walked to the gate of the main courtyard and looked at Qian Rihong in the courtyard.
Regretfully said: "After October, it will almost wither."
"Fujin is right, but periwinkle flowers can bloom almost all year round. There are also anthuriums, which bloom continuously all year round, and the same is true for hibiscus. Especially the rose flower, which is called Yueyuehong by the people, is basically a flower that blooms. Four seasons, everyone can see its flowers every month." It was Banmei who said this.
When the servants heard the sound, they all blinked at Banmei.
I think she is new here and doesn't know the rules.
Fujin dared to contradict what he said.
Only Ruoyin could tell that Banmei was comforting her.
So, she said with a nonchalant smile: "There are indeed flowers that bloom all year round, but the flowers will not bloom and never wither. People are the same, they will experience right and wrong, big and small trials. People The relationship with people is the same, it will not always be good, and there will be times when they break up. Not to mention the emptiness of grace, which is even more unstable."
"The slave is stupid, I didn't understand what Fujin meant just now, now I understand." Banmei said.
Ruoyin turned around and entered the room, and sat down in the hall.
Looking at the servants in the room, he said calmly: "Let Chef Niu make lunch, and besides, call all the servants in the main courtyard to the hall."
"Yes." Qiaofeng hurried out.
After a while, the little eunuchs and maids from the main courtyard all arrived in the hall.
Those who couldn't stand stood in the back row from the door.
Ruoyin was sore, so he leaned on the armrest and looked down at the servant below.
Immediately, she turned around and gave a glance at Mammy Liu.
Grandma Liu understood, cleared her throat, pointed to Banmei beside her, and said loudly: "Listen up, she is a slave of Fujin's new leader, and everyone will work together in the future, and no disunity is allowed. After all, you I am all slaves of the main courtyard, there is no distinction between high and low, no bullying is allowed."
"Yes." Everyone responded.
Banmei, who had been silent all this time, also knew that Ruoyin valued her.
Otherwise, who would care about the slaves next to her not to bully her.
I saw Banmei kneeling respectfully in the middle, bowing to Ruoyin.
"My servant, thank Fujin for his appreciation. Since he has entered Prince Yong's mansion, he must swear allegiance to Fujin to the death."
After finishing speaking, she kowtowed three times in a row.
Every time there is a loud "dong" sound, it is very real.
Seeing this, Ruoyin nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I don't need to be suspicious of the employer, and I don't need to be suspicious of the person. Since I brought you into the mansion and made you a personal servant, I can trust you."
Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin lectured the crowd a few more words before dismissing them and having lunch.
Little did they know... The people in the backyard dragged Ruoyin into the front yard for fourth master.
In the end, there was a lot of discussion about the fourth master coming out of the main courtyard...
At the same time, Mrs. Li from the side courtyard, while drinking the chicken soup of Dabu, asked casually: "Have you found out clearly, who did Fourth Master rest at yesterday, or did he let Fujin rest in the front yard?"
Otherwise, if they dragged Fujin into the front yard, the two of them would disappear.
"Returning to the master, Fujin didn't rest in the front yard. I heard that the fourth master built a secret passage between the front yard and the main courtyard. The fourth master dragged Fujin into the front yard and stayed directly in the main courtyard." Chunmei replied.
Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, and said displeasedly: "Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true, the fourth master came out of the main courtyard early this morning, before dawn."
With a sound of "bang dang", Li Shi was so angry that he stopped drinking the soup.
The oily soup sloshed a little out of the bowl.
"Fu Jin is such a formidable method. The backyard people's yard is not well-built. But she is the main wife, and she is ruining the atmosphere here."
"Master, Fujin wasn't in the mansion when the mansion was built, so the fourth master asked the slaves to build it." Chunmei said cautiously.
As soon as the voice fell, Li Shi rolled her eyes.
"I want you to talk more."
At the end, Li's yin and yang smiled strangely: "If you like to build secret passages, let them build them. As the days go by, you will know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
Now she is speechless.
After she gave birth to her elder brother, she had to go to Concubine De to put eye drops on Fujin.
"What the master said is true." Chunmei responded casually.
"Right now, Niu Gulushi and I are about to give birth, so this matter is more important. On Niu Gulushi's side, what's your arrangement?" Li asked irritably.
"Back to the master, everything has been arranged. There is only one sentence, and the slave doesn't know whether to say it or not."
"It's not that you don't know, I hate ink-blotted people the most." Shi Li glared at Chunmei impatiently.
Chunmei was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "That's it, the slave thinks, anyway, there is a eldest brother in the main courtyard, and the eldest son is already there. When you give birth, isn't it all the same?"
If there is no elder brother in the family, it is different to fight for the eldest son.
But there is an eldest son in the main courtyard of the family, who is a concubine elder brother anyway, so there is nothing to argue about.
"What do you know, Niu Gulu's family and I were both side Fujin, and I only have Da Gege under my knees. If my elder brother was born before Niu Gulu's family, he would be more handsome than her. I can't have been in the mansion for so many years , the son born to him should be called his son's elder brother." Li said unconvinced.
"But you have a big brother under your knees, Niu Ze Fujin can't compare with you." Chunmei cautiously comforted: "So, it is important that you give birth to your elder brother safely, and don't make mistakes at this juncture, so as not to worry about it." Make fourth master angry."
Mrs. Li paused, then laughed at herself and said, "Don't think that the fourth master treats Da Gege very well, but this is the Qing Dynasty. Regarding his son, the fourth master is more concerned about his son. If you get a few cups of soup, it will be even more promising."
"But my daughter is going to marry after all. It's good to marry in the capital, but if you marry in a corner of Mongolia, it will be rare for you to see each other for the rest of your life."
"The fourth master loves Da Gege, and will definitely not let Da Gege marry in Mongolia."
"The days to come are still long, you and I don't count on what you say, you can step back." Li Shi waved his hand, looking very tired.
------
In the days that followed, Ruoyin had nothing to do but settle down in the house.
He also asked Li Fukang to take some money to appease the family members of the old man in the winery.
There was no one in charge at the winery, so she had to find someone else.
Fortunately, Chen Guanshi is not only in charge of wineries, but basically department stores and inns, which are mobile.
So when the accident happened, it was considered clean.
Otherwise, if Manager Chen disappears, the shop under her will be in chaos.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already the end of the month.
Ruoyin saw Liu mama bringing tea into the house, so she asked, "The backyard is okay recently, isn't there anything wrong with it?"
"Going back to Fujin, it's all good. It's strange to say that in the past, Li Fangfujin was the happiest jumping around, but now he doesn't leave the gate all day long, and no strangers are allowed in the yard, only they themselves. The servants in the courtyard come in and out." Mother Liu said.
Ruoyin nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Perhaps it's about to give birth, so be extra careful, lest something happen."
"That's too careful. I heard that Da Gege has been neglected by Mrs. Li, and he is taken care of by his servants every day, and he is not allowed to enter Mrs. Li's house. This is too patriarchal."
Nanny Liu handed Ruoyin a cup of tea, and said angrily: "You don't know, Li Fangfujin might be showing off, he's not even born yet, and he's bragging all day long that he's an elder brother, just look at me, it should be Let her have another daughter, and see if she can still be proud in the future!"
"I see...I'm afraid it's not that simple." Ruoyin looked serious.
"How to say?"
"Ms. Li is patriarchal, but when she was first pregnant, she should have been careful, and she didn't avoid Da Gege. Now that she is about to give birth, she won't. Maybe she is plotting something bad, afraid of Da Gege hear."
Mrs. Li is bad everywhere.
The only thing that is considerate to her own children.
Probably afraid that Da Gege is a concubine, and it will be difficult for her to marry a good family in the future.
This is where the nuns started to teach the big princesses, female reds and so on.
People here, no one will teach their daughter to be arrogant.
It's all about persuading the children to be more sensible, and when they get married in the future, they should serve their husbands well and respect their parents-in-law.
Get a good reputation and win the love of your husband's family.
It's no wonder that everyone doesn't want to have a daughter, and patriarchy is forced.
No matter how incompetent the son is, he can bring people home and spread his branches and leaves.
No matter how good a daughter is, she still has to marry into someone else's family and take care of her in-laws!
The point is...no family status yet.
If you are close to marriage, you can still complain to your natal family if you are wronged.
But the royal family has always attached great importance to the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia.
If married to Mongolia, mother and daughter will hardly see each other for the rest of their lives.
Under such circumstances, who would be willing to have a daughter.
Who is willing to marry their daughter to Mongolia.
But even if you don't want to, you have to follow the rules.
This is the responsibility of the royal children and grandchildren. Men have the responsibilities of men, and women also have the mission of women.
Don't think that the glory and wealth come so easily.
In this way, over time, the concept of patriarchal patriarchy has become deeply ingrained.
But Ruoyin was different, she was thinking, if she gave birth to a daughter...
I don't want to teach her to humbly please her husband's family.
Anyway, there should be some politeness, but there is no need to please.
There are so many daughter-in-laws in the Qing Dynasty who flattered their mother-in-law, how many of them lost their dignity and self, and still couldn't be loved.
Hmm...why did she think of having a daughter again?
It must be the result of fourth master and those two little brats nagging in her ears all day long.
Ruoyin shook his head, looked at the sky outside, and said lightly: "On the other side of Li's, please order someone to watch, she wants to harm Niu Gulu, I don't want to care about it, please be careful not to pour dirty water into the main courtyard That's it."
