Return to the Qing Dynasty (29)

The Niangniang Temple is located on a small hill in the east of the city. How small is this hill? It is only three or five miles in radius and one or two hundred meters high. Because of the peculiar shape, from the bottom, the top of the mountain looks like a statue of Guanyin. This temple is located just on the abdomen of the "Guanyin Niangniang". This coincidence has caused more people to come to pray for children. Once there are more people, there is always some chance of getting pregnant. Therefore, the reputation of the Niangniang Temple spreads like a statue of Guanyin.

Because it was close to the capital, this reputation reached the ears of the nobles. The Fourth Master also heard that there was such a place when he was talking to the ministers.

As the New Year is approaching, even if the weather is cold, there are endless people coming to burn incense and pray for children. The town at the foot of the mountain has become lively because of this Niangniang Temple.

When the Fourth Master came out this time, he not only brought Lin Yutong out, but also brought Hongshi and Hongli and Hongzhou.

Hongshi thought about it but never expected that Emperor Ama took him out for this, "Son is not in a hurry!"

Dong E held Lin Yutong and reached out to twist Hongshi's waist. This person is really! You are not in a hurry! Of course you have a son, but what about me? You have to let me have a son too. I have no conscience. Have you been with you for nothing during this period?

Hongshi grinned and dared not speak.

Lin Yutong laughed, patted Dong E's hand that stroked her arm, and deliberately said with a shady face: "Don't twist him! That's my son, I feel pain if you don't care about me. How could you bully his son in front of others' parents?"

Dong E's face instantly turned red. Hongshi turned his head to glare at her, and she threw it outside with embarrassment.

"My mom, look at him!" Dong E has been familiar with Lin Yutong for a while, and thinks that this legitimate mother-in-law is actually very easy to get along with. She never talks about things between husband and wife. She never interferes in the affairs of her son's yard. The couple occasionally quarrels, but when she leans on her daughter-in-law, she has a lot better attitude towards her, and the two concubines in the yard dare not act evil. Although she has a lot of benefits with the queen, she likes to get along with the queen because of these benefits. She simply feels comfortable and likes to be with her. If the mother-in-law in the world looks like her, the daughter-in-law will have a lot of life.

Lin Yutong laughed and said to the Fourth Master, "You don't care about your son and stared at your wife. This is your ability."

The Fourth Master raised his foot and kicked Hongshi gently, "Give his children in front of others and teach his daughter-in-law behind his back. This is not allowed outside in the future."

Hongshi didn't dare to hide after being hit for a moment. He responded no matter how much, but looked back at Lin Yutong with resentment, as if he was talking about it again, look! It was all caused by you.

Dong E laughed, and his eyes became more charming.

Hongli and Hongzhou were laughing at Hongshi, and Hongshi scolded them with a stern face. The Fourth Master didn't care and just walked forward with his hands behind his back.

On the way, I also chatted with someone, "Brother, you look tough." "Brother, I came with my brother and sister?" I can chat with anyone, and talk about the harvest this year and the situation at home.

When people saw the Fourth Master and three young men, they immediately praised the Fourth Master, "There are so many children and so many blessings! You three sons are still begging for children."

The Fourth Master went back to the other party, "Four! Four sons! There is still one in the family who has breastfeeding."

The one who can come here must be a family with thin offspring. When they hear these four sons come to pray for their children, they are really envious and jealous.

Someone said, "I am not satisfied with my four sons? Brother! People must be happy."

The Fourth Master talked to others, "There are so many four? My father has twenty-four sons."

Just enough for the father and his descendants.

This comparison is a little less.

"Then you are a big family." Those who heard this agreed enviously. This person has many tribes and is not bullied.

A woman came over and asked Lin Yutong's secret to giving birth to a child, "The girl has four sons, but she still has a child?"

Lin Yutong beat him up and pointed at Dong E, "He came with his wife."

This is reasonable!

Hongli was a little scared and could not tell the truth for a while. Is the emperor who wanted to ask for a son for the queen or for the third brother's family?

No matter which possibility it is, it is not good news for him. It is proved that the emperor is interested in the third brother. If he comes specifically for the queen, then things might be even worse.

Lin Yutong was afraid that Hongzhou would run away, so she turned her head to look at Gu Hongzhou, but she happened to see Hongli with thoughtfulness. When she looked at Hongzhou again, she didn't know who was playing with her naughty child. The two of them were playing with each other and a branch, and they were chewing in the air.

At this time, she understood the Fourth Master’s meaning a little.

The Fourth Master took him to ask for a child, which is a signal. What is the signal? This means that he has not been very satisfied with several princes so far, including Hongli.

This is not only for the princes, but also for the ministers in the court.

Tell a few princes that you are not ideal candidates, don’t be busy jumping around first, it’s useless to jump around again. Tell the ministers in the court that you should do whatever you should do and be busy standing in a row. Don’t be anxious about the matter of the crown prince. Isn’t he asking for something?

Before, she really thought he was bored and took herself out to make a fuss.

It turns out that this is just a simple political signal.

Thinking of this, she looked at the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master turned his head and smiled at her, reaching out to pull her, and instructing Hongshi, "It's rare to come out and take your wife to play."

Hongzhou hurriedly said, "Dad! I will take people there..." There was a piece of red plum blossom in the valley over there, which was a good place to enjoy flowers.

The Fourth Master had not spoken yet, Hongli hurriedly said, "Dad, don't worry, my son will take his fifth brother to the temple to find you later."

The Fourth Master then glanced at Su Peisheng and said, "Arrang to follow the person." Then he let the two of them go.

Just as Hongshi was about to say something to accompany his parents, Dong E pulled his belt and said to Lin Yutong: "I'll come to find my mother in a while."

Lin Yutong smiled, and the Fourth Master took his hand away.

After the two of them left, Dong E complained to Hongshi, "I really have no eyes."

Hongshi turned his face and said, "What's wrong?" for no reason.

Dong E snorted lightly and whispered: "You don't want to stay with me, don't your father-in-law want to stay with your mother-in-law?"

Hongshi blushed and whispered, "Nothing!" After saying that, he couldn't help but exhort, "You can't say this to others anymore."

You still need to teach this?

After the couple finished speaking, Hongshi hurriedly looked at Hongzhou, but saw that the two brothers had already run away. He hesitated, "Why don't we go there too?"

Dong E's expression was a little bad. The two brothers went over and what did he do with him? Are they going out with their brothers or came out with him?

Hongshi pulled Dong E and left, "I am the brother. If something happens to those two young people, how can they follow the emperor..." He looked around vigilantly, then lowered his voice, "...explain?"

This one is unconfused.

I don't know how many secret guards around these princes followed. The two underage princes were outside, and Su Peisheng scored one and half of his eyes staring at them. As soon as the third prince went there, he felt relieved and hurried to the fourth master to perform his merits on behalf of the third prince. This brother is the most respectful thing that the fourth master likes to see.

He whispered while laughing, and did not forget to joke with Hongshi, "... Our third prince is such a honest person, but it has lost the heart of the third concubine. The fourth prince and the fifth prince are here, and the couple want to whisper, isn't it inconvenient?"

He said joy, but after he said that he couldn't see his master's words, he looked up.

Hey? The master's expression seems to be a little wrong.

He was a little nervous and said tentatively: "Master...what is wrong?"

What's wrong?

You can only see others but not yourself!

The Fourth Master looked at him with his eyes squinted, "Yes! You're right! There's an outsider here, and it's a bit inconvenient for the couple to whisper."

He took the words "outsider" and "couple" very seriously, and it was difficult for anyone who heard them to understand.

Then Lin Yutong looked at Su Peisheng and smiled.

Su Peisheng blinked his eyes and looked at this and that... Oh! Emperor and Empress, isn’t it just a couple?

Feelings are annoying.

He has been following his master for half his life like a shadow. He really has no sense of being an outsider. Now he is classified as an outsider...

Master, do you know that you will lose your slave like this?

That's not what you said when you borrowed money from your slave.

All right!

Whether he wanted to do so or not, he was still a few steps behind and fell behind his master to serve him.

Lin Yutong said to the Fourth Master: "What are you always teasing him?"

The Fourth Master laughed and was about to speak when he saw a familiar figure flashing from the fork in the road, "Old Eight..."

"Huh?" Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master's gaze. It was really the Eighth Master and the Eighth Concubine. "What are these couples... doing?"

What can I do when I come to this world?

Of course it's a child!

Lin Yutong didn't expect that after saying what he said to the Eighth Master that day, he got such a result.

Take the Eighth Concubine to pray for a son?

If you have a son, the Eighth Concubine will stop doing it?

If you don’t do it, you will not be the Eighth Concubine.

Sometimes Lin Yutong feels that the situation of the Eighth Concubine is a bit similar to that of a woman who is reluctant to divorce after her husband cheats on her. Let go, you can't bear to give up and you don't have the courage to let go. If you don't want to let go, you feel very disgusted when you think about it, and your whole mind is twisted.

The couple here saw them, and they also saw the most unexpected person.

The Eighth Concubine almost blurted out, "The Queen actually wants to give birth?"

Lin Yutong knew what she was talking about just by looking at her lips. She rolled her eyes without any concealment. Why can't I give birth?

The couple did not move here, and the Eighth Master came over with the Eighth Concubine with a reserved smile, "The Fourth Brother is here with the Fourth Sister-in-law?"

The Fourth Master nodded, "It's rare to have two days of leisure, and I'll take your sister-in-law out for a walk."

The Eighth Concubine over there has been talking to Lin Yutong, "The fourth sister-in-law is now so happy..."

Can you speak?

What do you do with the hardships of the past? I will make people feel troubled.

Lin Yutong was not in a trap and smiled reservedly, "Life is a life, you know your own happiness and joy. Outsiders look bitter, but they may not be really bitter. This outsider looks sweet, but this may not be really sweet. You said, eighth brother and sister."
