Chapter 46 Chapter 46(1/3)
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the house was full of guests.
Everyone I knew from the mansions and officials' homes sent people to congratulate Si Age's house for the New Year. Most of them were young people, who would sit for a while, say a few words, and then leave.
Yinzhen didn't ask Luo Jianing to come forward. After all, she was pregnant and it was better to rest.
Luo Jianing felt at ease and stayed in the back house all day without going out.
She asked people to pay attention to the movements between the concierge and Mr. Li, and they all said that the concierge did not see the "guest" who wanted to visit on New Year's Eve, and Mr. Li did not make much movement.
Luo Jianing understood that Li really wanted to take advantage of her absence to take action.
Presumably the tacit understanding between Li and those people is to come to the house tomorrow.
After all, she will definitely go back to her parents’ house on the first day of the new year.
Then this day is like a New Year's Eve family dinner, and she will definitely not be at home.
Luo Jianing didn't know how Li passed on the news, nor did she know who was responsible for contacting Magistrate Li and Lin. Since she wanted to get hold of them, she had to annihilate them all in one fell swoop and catch them all.
That night, she called Su Peisheng, Fu Rong, An Fu, Cui Ying, and Lu Mei to the room and held a short meeting.
"Su Peisheng pays attention to the front yard, and Fu Rong Lumei pays attention to the backyard." Luo Jianing thought carefully: "Anfu and Cuiying will find a few suitable ones and guard the other small doors in case there is anything suspicious.
When someone appears, don’t act rashly. One word, delay.”
She estimated the time: "We will go out late tomorrow and will be back around Shenshiyou time. You just have to find a way to hold people back and don't let them escape. We will discuss everything after we come back."
Yinzhen is in the house at this time.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, he wanted to spend time with Luo Jianing. After visiting Xiao Gege in the evening, he stayed in Luo Jianing's house. At this time, he was looking through documents.
After hearing what Luo Jianing said, Yinzhen raised his eyes, glanced at several people, and finally his eyes fell on Luo Jianing.
Luo Jianing was concentrating on thinking and didn't notice the change in his expression. What's more, in order not to disturb her, he chose the table by the window. Unless she looked back slightly, she wouldn't be able to see his expression.
Su Peisheng noticed it.
He guessed that Fujin probably didn't tell the fourth master about the bad things about the Li family. Or maybe he told her, but the details weren't enough, and the fourth master didn't know her plan clearly.
Su Peisheng thought about it and decided that it would be better not to let the fourth master have doubts in his mind, otherwise it would be bad if the fourth master had any misunderstanding about Fujin's arrangement.
Fujin treated him very well. It was rare for a slave to meet such a good master. He didn't want Fujin to be misunderstood.
Su Peisheng said, "Fu Jin, since there is something strange going on with Li's family, why not take advantage of this and kill them directly. I think this is easy to say, but difficult to say. It's not as good as this."
It would be more appropriate for you to ask Fourth Master to borrow some capable housekeepers and guard the courtyard together with the servants."
The people who look after the house and the courtyard were recruited by Yinzhen.
Luo Jianing actually ordered them to be mobilized, and Yinzhen had told those people early in the morning that if anything happened to Fujin, it would be up to Fujin's orders.
The nursing staff are also loyal.
What Su Peisheng said is very interesting.
Luo Jianing glanced at Su Peisheng thoughtfully, then turned around and called Yinzhen: "Fourth Master, please help me send some people."
"You just have to make the decision." Yinzhen said.
In fact, he also heard a little bit about Li's affairs.
But he also understood that Fujin had arranged all this just because he didn't want him to worry about things in the backyard anymore. After all, he was walking on thin ice in the royal family. He had to deal with the court and his father and brothers every day, which already took a lot of effort. She had never been willing to worry about it.
Let him worry about the affairs of the back house.
When I glanced at her just now, I just saw her planning like this, and I was afraid that she was working too hard.
But she didn't ask him, and he didn't intend to ask.
The back house is her world.
Now that Su Peisheng took the initiative to ask him to help, she asked again, and Yinzhen was naturally happy to help her deal with it: "I'll tell them later and ask them to help guard the door tomorrow."
"Just one thing." Luo Jianing said: "Let them be careful and don't let those people find out the clues."
Yinzhen chuckled: "Don't worry. As long as they do whatever I tell them, they will definitely not be too showy."
Luo Jianing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after hearing this.
Good guy.
This sounds interesting.
She knew that these princes had their own confidants, and would train some people who were willing to follow them to protect her.
Now listening to what Yinzhen meant, these so-called nursing homes he found seemed like dead soldiers around him?
...Thinking about it carefully, he was really kind to her when he ordered those people to listen to her orders from the beginning. After all, no prince is willing to protect his wife and give his wife enough power for this purpose.
Luo Jianing thinks Yinzhen is a good person.
When she spoke to him again, her tone was gentler: "Thank you, Fourth Master. Thanks to your thoughtfulness, you have saved me a lot of trouble later."
Yinzhen was very happy.
Su Peisheng was very happy when he saw that Fourth Master and Si Fujin were getting along so well.
The next day is the first day of the new year.
Yinzhen and Luo Jianing had already sent messages to Ulanala's family in advance that the couple would arrive later.
It's not that the two of them deliberately manipulated each other because of their status. It's that the palace is not at peace now, and the princes outside the palace must be more careful.
Yinzhen never wanted to be known as "making friends with ministers". He was very cautious in his dealings with ministers and never had much contact with them.
On the first day of junior high school, several groups of people from the family must come back, and it is the girls from the Ulanala family who bring their husbands home.
Yinzhen and Luo Jianing just wanted to go home and see their relatives. It was better to avoid making friends with these people. They used Luo Jianing's heavy body as an excuse and said they would go in the afternoon.
By that time, the daughters and their husbands had already had lunch and left, and Sifujin had some leisure time chatting with the elders.
The couple had lunch at home, Luo Jianing rested for a while, and then Yinzhen helped her get into the carriage.
After catching up on her sleep in the car, Luo Jianing was full of energy when she got off the bus at her parents' house.
Aixinjueluo greeted her daughter without waiting for her to come down. When her daughter stood firm, he immediately held her hand and burst into tears: "My son, you have suffered. Is it hard to be pregnant during this time? Can you still eat?
Can you eat it? I miss you every day, but I can’t see you..."
As Aixinjueluo talked, thinking about the hardships a woman has to endure during pregnancy and childbirth, she couldn't help but become more and more worried about her daughter, and burst into tears.
The Sifu Jin Ulanala family had a distinguished status. In addition to her father Fei Yanggu being trusted by Emperor Kangxi, another reason was her mother.
Sifujin's biological mother was the daughter of an idle clan. Just by her surname, Aisin Gioro, we can see how valuable her status was.
It is precisely because of this kinship and the fact that she is the elder brother and mother-in-law of the fourth elder brother that when she meets the fourth elder brother, she does not need to pay as much courtesy as others.
The fourth elder brother, Yinzhen, was the adopted son of the late empress Tong Jia, who was also the cousin of Emperor Kangxi.
Therefore, Emperor Kangxi took great pains to choose Ulanara as his wife for his fourth elder brother, which shows how much he valued his fourth elder brother.
Although Luo Jianing was not pregnant during this period, it was not too hard, but she felt really heavy every day.
Looking at the mother who cared for her daughter in front of her, she felt very uncomfortable. She held Aixinjueluo's hand and said, "You don't have to worry about me. My fourth master is very good to me. Whenever I need anything, he will try his best to satisfy me."
I."
As she said that, she remembered something and said with a smile: "One night before, I wanted to eat boiled noodles, so I woke him up. After he asked someone to make the noodles, he put them in the water and boiled them for me. It was enough.
It shows that he is very good to me."
Aixinjueluo has been a relative of the royal family since he was a child, so he naturally knows how proud the royal children are.
Now that her daughter said that her fourth elder brother could go to the kitchen to cook for her, she finally felt a lot more relieved and laughed through her tears.
Aixinjueluo turned sideways, wiped away the tears on his face with a handkerchief, and looked at Brother Si with gratitude: "Thank you for helping to take care of her. She has always been cold-tempered and doesn't seem to be close to others. In fact, she is the most
He is gentle and considerate, but he just doesn't show it on his face."
Yinzhen smiled.
Thinking of Si Fujin's various alienations in the past, and the inseparable bond between the two after they consummated their marriage, he smiled and said: "You are wrong. She has a gentle temperament, the most gentle and virtuous. How can she be cold-tempered? She is clearly a warm-hearted person."
As he spoke, Yinzhen raised his hand and gently pressed Luo Jianing's shoulder: "Moreover, why am I taking care of her? She obviously takes care of me more. She takes care of the complicated things in the back house on weekdays.
Now that she is pregnant, she is even more
She has worked so hard for our children. If I were to say, this family really cannot survive without her, she is the one who does all the hard work. If you say thank you, you really shouldn’t thank me. I should be the one thanking you for giving me this.
Good wife."
There was a deep sense of love and gratitude for his wife in his tone.
Seeing Brother Si's smile, Aixinjueluo was stunned for a moment.
As a daughter of the clan, she naturally knew about Si Age.
In her memory, Si Age was a young man who was distant and a little cold.
In the past, when the late empress was around, things were fine. Although he didn't talk much, he occasionally laughed and joked with others. Since the late empress passed away and his biological mother was estranged from him, his temperament has become more and more taciturn. He rarely smiles, and his body is full of energy.
There is always a coldness that does not allow others to get close to him.
Now, he is much gentler.
