Chapter 278
After the New Year, the weather is still very cold, because it is still on vacation, there is nothing important, and people seem lazy and lazy.
Kangxi also spent a lot of time in the study to read, and occasionally, he talked with the ministers. His study was always warm, and the daffodils bloomed violently and fragrant in a room many degrees higher than the outside. Julia felt dizzy every time she went in.
She gets dizzy when she smells particularly strong floral scents: gardenias, osmanthus, magnolias, daffodils...... Yinzhen is not very interested in fragrant flowers, but he is more annoyed by brightly colored flowers. If Julia had put a bouquet of red roses in a living room vase, he would have scoffed and said, "Cheesy is dead."
The official aesthetic configuration of Emperor Yongzheng's living room is: three white irises inserted in an amber bottle.
The same is true of his everyday aesthetic, leaning towards MUJI's insane style. "Clean up in the show" and "grind it in the thin", elegant and clean is Yinzhen's requirement for utensils.
Therefore, Yinzhen often ridiculed Julia for her aesthetic quality as a "square dancing aunt", because she especially likes gaudy and fancy clothes.
For some reason, Julia has often remembered these details lately, perhaps because of Yinzhen's letter.
At this moment, stimulated by the narcissus in Kangxi's study, Julia sneezed twice in a row.
Kangxi put down the book and frowned at her: "Cold?" ”
"It's not." Julia hurriedly said, "The slave's nose...... Allergies as soon as I smell the flowers. ”
"Allergies?"
"That's it...... Prone to itching, sneezing. ”
Kangxi shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand.
"Hooray." Julia said suddenly.
Kangxi looked at her: "Something?" ”
Julia hesitated for a long time. Finally, he said, "The slave maid wants to ask the long live lord, the slave maid...... Can you write a reply to Prince Yong? ”
Kangxi seemed to have heard some big news. His eyes widened!
"You want to write a reply to Prince Yong?!" He was surprised, "You're not...... Don't you know how to write? ”
"Long live the Lord. Slaves don't know how to write at all. Julia laughed. The slave also studied for a short time......"
Kangxi stared at her silently, and then, he suddenly stood up: "Yes." That's where you write your reply. ”
Julia was stunned!
"What are you doing here?" Kangxi said lightly, "There is a ready-made pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table." Write it. ”
Julia panicked: "But this is the emperor's desk......"
"If I tell you to write, you will write."
Kangxi actually wanted to see what level Julia was.
How many books a person has read, looking at his ability to learn words is the most obvious, Kangxi is curious about what state it is like to "learn for a short time".
Julia hesitated for a moment, then thought. You told me to write this!
So she walked over, sat down, took a piece of paper and put it in front of her, and then stared at the pen holder on the table.
“…… Your Majesty, which pen can be used? ”
"Either one!"
Julia stared at the row of pens for a long time as if she was doing research, and finally picked out one that was neither thick nor thin, and then. I dipped the tip of my pen in the ink on the inkstone.
The posture of holding the pen is correct. Kangxi thought, it seems that she has indeed learned.
Julia had learned calligraphy, and Yinzhen went home to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, purely out of nostalgia. Several elder brothers in the family will use it. Although they don't need it, they would rather hold on to the external keyboard. Julia was curious to learn to write big characters, so Yinzhen taught her for a while. But that didn't last long. In less than half a month, she lost interest and said she was too tired. It's too troublesome for an acute child like her.
Therefore. In fact, I didn't learn anything other than how to hold a pen.
So at this moment, Kangxi was watching from the sidelines, and the more he watched, the more he collapsed!
Julia writes a word, it takes a lot of effort, and the writing is crooked, horizontal and vertical, the pen trembles in her hand, and when she writes badly, she simply paints it into a big black bump, and when she writes a letter, there are not many words, and black bumps are everywhere.
It's not as good as those six or seven-year-old little buddies who write well.
Julia tried her best here, writing letters, Kangxi was holding his hands behind his back, his beard was so angry that Li Dequan occasionally came in to serve tea, looking at this strange scene, thinking that he had gone to the wrong door!
After writing it easily, Julia put down her pen and said excitedly: "It's done!" ”
"Show me!" Kangxi stretched out his hand.
Julia had to hand over the letter to him, thinking to herself that she and Yinzhen were like two middle school students who were in early love, and they had to hand over one or two letters to their parents for inspection.
Kangxi put on reading glasses and carefully read Julia's letter-
Rajah:
See Principal Force.
I'm fine, everything is fine (originally everything was OK, but the word OK was crossed out), the emperor was very good to me, and Mr. Li was also very good to me, I was very busy every day, but not too tired, you don't have to worry.
I don't feel very painful, because I know that there was a worse ending waiting for me, and now it is equivalent to winning the jackpot.
I was angry with you in the Eighth Brother's Mansion that day, please forgive me, in that case, I have feelings that I can't say.
The gift was received, thank you very much. I love it here, and although I'm not used to it, I'll continue to discover the joy of life in the future.
You don't have to feel too heavy, the meaning of life is actually not so important, too much emphasis on meaning, people will be empty. Don't be led into the ditch by those Rinpoches in your family, as I said earlier, always look at the Buddhist scriptures and always think about the mystical and mystical questions, and your brain will only be broken. You should be more exposed to the fireworks in the world, and you should not be too pessimistic.
Give Hongli more things to eat, he is a child with a big appetite, whether it is for food or outside information. Don't worry about his body, he's very strong.
Hug him more and love him more. The more you do it now, the more you will be grateful for that behavior many years from now.
Wish, the meat can sprout.
Julia.
Kangxi sighed for a long time after reading the letter.
What the hell is written here?
But Julia still looked at him hopefully: "Long live the lord, can you give the letter to the prince?" ”
"Of course I'll leave it to him." Kangxi snorted, "Webster." You really haven't studied! ”
Originally, the two of them exchanged this letter. Kangxi thought, should this stop? It's enough, right? But I didn't expect the second month. Yinzhen brought another letter.
"What?" Kangxi rolled his eyes at him.
"Emperor Ama, please give this letter to Julia."
Kangxi was on fire: "It's endless!" I said that I don't take it as an example, do you think my words don't count! ”
"Huang Ama, this is just an ordinary letter from home." Yin Zhen's expression was unwavering, "If Huang Ama is not at ease, you can take it apart and look at ......"
"Do you still want me to see your nonsense full of white words and I don't know what to say!" Kangxi said coldly, "If you say no, you just can't!" ”
Yinzhen stood there, a moment later. He nodded: "Since Huang Ama doesn't agree, the minister will go to someone else to pass it." ”
Kangxi was angry, and he said sharply: "Fourth, what are you doing!" Do you want to disobey the Holy Order?! ”
"The retainers didn't want to disobey the emperor, but they just wanted to give Julia a simple letter from home. Julia is not a prisoner, she is not an official implicated in the case, not to mention that she also gave birth to a grandchild for Huang Amma. Although the holy order is strict, in the eyes of the sons, they should not ignore human feelings. ”
Kangxi looked at his son in astonishment. He never expected that his son would say such a thing!
However, he could see from Yinzhen's eyes that this guy would not stop until he achieved his goal. He would really fight himself to the end for such a small matter.
Kangxi thought about it, and finally found out. If he blocks this road, the fourth child will definitely find another way. So what's the problem? He refused to listen to the persuasion, and he had to do it. I don't agree, and it doesn't end well. I'm also old, and I'm tired and tired with my sons every day, besides, just for such a thing......
It's just writing a letter, and it's not a big rebellion: it's better to have a long relationship with children than to conspire.
In addition, if he agrees to this kid's request at this moment, then in other aspects, he will no longer oppose himself, but will try to comply with himself for this matter. It's a good deal.
Weighing the pros and cons, Kangxi nodded: "Okay." First of all, I have to look at every letter! ”
"Yes, Erchen knows."
So as a result, Yinzhen began to correspond with Julia, and there would be an average of one or two letters per month.
At first, Kangxi did have to look at every letter, but then he was not interested in seeing too much, sometimes, Yinzhen talked about the flowers in the yard throughout the whole article, saying how well his "flesh" grew, and how distressed he was when one of them was rotten, "Originally, I could go to the group of friends to find experienced people to ask, but now I can't even save my flowers!" I've found so many people, and none of them know meat! Ahhhh ”…… And so on, rambling and chattering, Kangxi was annoyed to death, and the old emperor couldn't help but think, what is wrong with this child? Why is he serious and cold in front of himself and the ministers and brothers, but when he writes a letter, he seems to be a different person, he has never seen such an annoying and grinding Yinzhen.
At first, Kangxi was a little skeptical, thinking that the strange words mentioned in Yinzhen's letter were some kind of code names, after all, he also knew how well the fourth child did a good job of espionage, so Kangxi asked Julia what "meat" meant.
"It's those succulents." Julia couldn't make sense, so she took a pen and drew some succulents for Kangxi.
"The fourth likes this?"
"Yes, Prince Yong is particularly fond of succulents."
"What's there about this thing to like?!"
Julia sighed and spread her hands: "Ah Zhen, this guy...... What Prince Yong likes, the slave maid has always been incomprehensible, and the slave maid doesn't like succulent very much, and the slave maid likes big peony flowers. ”
Kangxi looked at her speechlessly: "...... Actually, you like those weird dolls that Eighth Brother likes, don't you? ”
Julia still shook her head: "The slave doesn't like that, you see that the slave doesn't make that kind of weird doll on weekdays, the slave doesn't understand the Astro Boy that the ninth elder brother likes, and the Kumamoto bear slave that the tenth elder brother likes is not very interested." The slaves just knew they liked it and did it to make them happy. ”
Kangxi still looked at her patiently: "Then what do you like?" ”
"Slaves and maids like to eat, especially meat, braised and stir-fried with chili peppers. Oops, that smell! Julia's saliva ticked, "In this world." There's nothing more enjoyable than eating! ”
“……”
Therefore, it has been a long time. Kangxi didn't bother to review Yinzhen's letters.
And Julia's reply, Kangxi didn't even look at it, he said, as soon as he saw her bad words with teeth and claws, his head hurt sharply.
The fifty-first year of Kangxi is destined to be an unquiet year, and from the beginning, things have kept happening, which makes people feel uneasy.
At first, it was cold and sometimes hot. The sun was as good as March, but the next day, it snowed again.
This ever-changing climate has made many people sick. Julia was careful not to get infected, but there were quite a few fallen palace maids around her. Julia is a warm-hearted person, not only taking on the tasks of her sick companions, but also finding time to care for them. To prevent the flu from spreading, Julia told everyone around her to wash their noses, mouths, and hands frequently, and told them. Boost your immunity with active exercise.
At first, the ladies refused to listen, and laughed at her "weird look" of aerobics, but Julia persevered, and she didn't care what others ridiculed. Stick to it for 20 minutes in the morning and evening every day.
In fact, that set of aerobics is very simple, it was learned by Julia from Zheng Duoyan's textbooks, and she also learned this set of the most basic.
Every time Julia practiced her "Zheng Duoyan" in the yard. The palace maids just sat aside and looked at each other with a smile and said. Look, Julia is dancing!
Julia wasn't embarrassed or nervous. Let's just say, you all laugh at me, but have you ever seen me sick once in such a long time? I'm much stronger than you.
As soon as she said this, some of the palace maids were puzzled and privately discussed that Julia's strange dance really had the effect of strengthening the body.
In this way, two or three bold and curious palace maids joined her team, and they followed Julia's example by tying up their trouser legs and sleeves, following her, imitating her movements, shouting "one, two, three, four" kicks and stretching their waists.
Julia is very infectious, and although there is no musical accompaniment, her voice can also give people a strong sense of rhythm.
The palace maids who studied with her for a while later reported that after practicing for more than half a month, they had strength in their legs, and their mental state was not so cowardly, and their bodies seemed to be really much stronger.
Some palace maids reported that they couldn't jump alone, they felt bored, so they had to jump with Julia, and it was best to have more people, then it would be very positive.
Not long after, Li Dequan also learned that Julia was doing this kind of thing among the palace maids, and he was very panicked and said, what do you want to do? Let them be crazy like anything, the palace maids should stay in the house honestly, and all go to the yard to dance this strange dance, what is it! The emperor will be angry when he finds out!
Julia comforted him and said that the emperor knew that he would not be angry, which was a good thing! When everyone exercises well, fewer people are sick, more people are working, and the burden on your shoulders is lighter, so that you don't have to worry about so many people falling ill when the seasons change every year.
Besides, there are many sick people, and when the time comes, it will be infected to the emperor and concubines, and to the underage little brothers, which will be even worse!
Li Dequan originally thought it was inappropriate, but Julia's words were very reasonable, and recently because of this strange dance, those palace maids who loved to be sick all the year round and were always depressed and depressed now look much better, and they also love to laugh and work, the evidence is so strong, so he feels that there is really no reason to oppose Julia doing this. In addition, Li Dequan also knows that Julia's identity is different from that of ordinary palace maids, she gave birth to a son to Prince Yong, and she also saved the life of the seventeenth elder brother, and sometimes even the emperor treats her differently.
"Then you can take it easy." He finally advised, "Just jump in your little courtyard, don't come out, it's not good for others to see." ”
Julia smiled: "Don't worry, a day adds up to half an hour, and you will be comfortable after dancing all day." ”
Li Dequan pondered with his hands behind his back: "Well, when I say that, I want to jump." Forget it, don't jump on old arms and legs. ”
In addition to dancing Zheng Duoyan, Julia also used her special identity to fight for a lot of rights for the palace maids, such as asking the imperial dining room to give more vegetables and meat, milk is a luxury, and it can't be universally provided, so provide more soy milk, and if there are too few fruits and vegetables in winter, take out the citrus accumulated in autumn and supplement vitamins for everyone. Increase the frequency of cleaning your hands, and give each courtyard a bottle of soju to wipe important utensils such as dishes and chopsticks to ensure daily disinfection...... And, on a sunny day, don't nest in the house to embroider, go out collectively to bask in the sun, kick the shuttlecock, lift your spirits, and prevent depression from spreading.
Julia couldn't do much, she thought she could tell the ancients a lot of advanced knowledge, but later found that the ancients couldn't accept her at all. For example, she said that in spring and autumn, when there is a lot of rain and lack of sunshine, the pineal gland in the brain secretes a large amount of melatonin, which causes adrenaline to be neutralized, and the effect of adrenaline is reduced.
When she said this, none of the palace maids and eunuchs could understand her, and Julia had to make an analogy, oh, like a kettle on a firewood fire cracked...... Before she could finish her words, a palace maid interrupted her with laughter: "You mean, the brain is leaking?" ”
I couldn't explain it anymore, and the audience laughed.
Later, whoever was too lazy to move, nestled in the house and refused to come out to bask in the sun, the rest of the people warned her: Beware of brain leakage!
Crossing this kind of thing is not as simple as it is written in the novel, Julia thought angrily. Who said that if you cross over, you can be admired by thousands of people and regarded as a god? It will only become a neurotic disease in the eyes of the ancients! (To be continued.) )
