Chapter 270
Maybe it's because winter is coming, and everyone's mood is generally low, as if it's contagious. The days are also colorless and monotonous.
Yinzhen is just bored at home every day to watch the children, the eighth elder brother is bored at home every day to play basketball, the ninth elder brother is bored at home every day to dial the abacus, and the tenth elder brother is bored at home every day to draw, Yinxiang ...... Of course, he can only make mushrooms at home.
The nervousness of the time when they had just returned gradually subsided as time passed, and they began to adapt to the rhythm of life in the Qing Dynasty again. However, this adaptation made them even more frightened.
The farther away they were from those three years of life, the less hope they had for change. Although none of them want to become puppets of history and return to the ignorance they had before leaving the Qing Dynasty, they also do not know how to get out of the status quo.
The low air pressure was like a virus, infecting them one by one.
Yin Zhen didn't dare to do any more experiments, so he said more for him, and he caused so many things. It's still a trivial matter if the land sinks and the lake disappears, and if he kills a few more people around him because of the experiment, then he really can't afford it.
After half a month, the seventeenth elder brother fully recovered his health, because he didn't use anesthesia, he knew the whole process, so he was also very grateful to Julia.
After that, however, he began to avoid Julia, and even if he had to see her, he was red-faced and eager to flee immediately.
Julia praised Brother Seventeen for his bravery at the beginning, cut the appendix without anesthetic, and caught up with Yuan Lang.
But then she realized that the seventeenth elder brother lowered his head when he saw her. It's embarrassing.
Julia thought about it for a while, and then she understood: the seventeenth elder brother is still young, and Fujin has not yet married.
It turns out that the doctor-patient relationship has been so tense since the Kangxi period, she thought, look at the seventeenth elder brother to be nervous......
Seventeen Elder Brother's mother, Chen, was especially grateful to Julia, although she couldn't figure out how Julia saved her son, but she knew that if it wasn't for this woman, Seventeen Elder Brother would have died that day.
For this. She often visited Julia. Take care of her during her confinement and give her supplements.
Julia told her not to do this, she said that this is the seventeenth elder brother's life, God bless.
Actually, she thought to herself. Fortunately, it was only a minor operation. I'm not going to revive your son. Zhen Huan can't spare me.
After the confinement, her body gradually became stronger, and Julia began to serve in front of Kangxi.
As Kangxi said. Julia doesn't have to do any complicated work, on weekdays, she just pours tea and water. Wash a towel and dry a quilt or something. Her status is very low, she doesn't even have a grade, she only works in the last tea promise.
The palace maids and eunuchs were very curious, and they couldn't guess why Kangxi wanted to keep such an eccentric woman with no identity and unknown origin by his side, especially that she had given birth to a son to Prince Yong.
At first, Kangxi was a little wary of her.
He denied Julia access to the cantata, nor did he allow her to hear his conversations with the ministers. Julia saw it, and she thought to herself, I'm impatient to listen to it when you tell me to listen to it.
So every day, she just concentrated on serving the tea and pastry royal meal, and soon, everyone felt that although this woman had a strange background, she was diligent in doing things, and she didn't talk much, and her brain was not stupid, which was actually quite good.
Later, Kangxi simply asked her directly if she knew how to read.
Julia was a little embarrassed, saying that she knew, showing her those pieces, and she recognized less than a fifth, saying that she didn't know, and she was also a person who graduated with a master's degree in a year.
In the end, she had to stumble and say, "...... Get to know each other. ”
Kangxi nodded: "Can you write?" ”
Julia shook her head, "I won't...... Slaves and maids can't write calligraphy. ”
So, she hasn't read for a few years? Kangxi thought secretly, no wonder he talked so rudely, like a man on a ridge.
It's okay, it's safer this way.
However, there was only one thing, Kangxi felt very curious, he had never seen Julia's face show that she missed her son.
It stands to reason that the child was taken away as soon as he was born and given to someone else, she can't even see it, and most of the ordinary mothers will wash their faces with tears, even if they don't cry like that, they should look sad and worried, and they will be sad when they mention the child, that's right.
Kangxi once mentioned the child in front of Julia, and he said that the child was handed over to the Gege Niu Co Lu clan in the palace to raise, because the Niu Co Lu clan's child died.
Julia nodded, "The slave heard about it." ”
The expression on her face did not change, as if she was talking about someone else's family.
This made Kangxi very strange, and he couldn't help asking: "Wei, don't you think about that child?" ”
Julia shook her head, "Don't worry. The kid was very strong, and there would be no problem. Moreover, it was sent to the palace, and besides, it was called Hongli ......"
She couldn't help but burst out laughing at this, for Julia herself thought it was funny.
Kangxi was even more surprised!
How can there be anything like her! How can a child be taken away, I don't want to miss it, but I am so happy that I want to laugh!
So Kangxi suddenly said unhappily: "That's your own flesh and blood, why don't you miss him at all?" ”
Isn't that heartless!
Julia narrowed her eyebrows, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "The child stays with the slave maid, but it is not conducive to his growth, he follows the slave maid, he will only suffer hardships, and he enters the palace to enjoy happiness, why should the slave and maid be sad?" ”
This sounds reasonable, but Kangxi still feels inappropriate.
However, to say that Julia didn't care about the kid at all, it wasn't. In her spare time, she also does needlework. Instead of making handkerchiefs and embroidered shoes, we sewed dolls out of floral cloth. Blue cloth, bulging belly, grinning cat face and cat beard, a belly pocket on his chest, and a bell around his neck......
Of course, no one recognized it, it was Doraemon. Julia made several, big and small. Then he sent them to Prince Yong's mansion, only saying that they were dolls made for children.
Julia's fingers are very dexterous, and the reason why she couldn't be a female celebrity before. Just because of inexperience. When you become proficient, the finished thing will be quite decent.
Those Doraemon were all left behind by Yinzhen. He knew that these were not for children, but for him.
At the end of October, it is Yinzhen's birthday. Although he had missed it, Julia still deliberately used a lot of noisy cotton to make him a large Doraemon and a small gold flake to ring a decent bell to hang on his chest.
Then she stroked with a brush. Clumsily wrote a few words: Happy birthday.
Then put the note on Doraemon's stomach. Let people send it to Prince Yong's mansion.
Yinzhen put this oversized Doraemon in the study like a baby, covered with a veil to block the dust, and no one was allowed to touch it.
Those Doraemon that Julia had. Later, it was also discovered by Kangxi. Because he secretly instructed Li Dequan to keep an eye on Julia. He hadn't noticed. He thought that Julia could not write, and since she could not write, there was no possibility of delivering letters. A woman. What's so strange about making some rag dolls?
But after many times, Kangxi also began to notice a little, so he asked Julia what those puppets were.
Julia thought for a moment and said, it's a cat.
"It's a dingbell." She said, "In the slave's house, this is a cat that can bring good luck to children, and children love it." ”
Kangxi felt that her words were very incomprehensible. But looking at her bedside, the rows of Doraemon the size of a fist and in different shapes, he really couldn't find any problem-the mother made a doll for her own son, could there be any complicated thoughts?
It looks like it's obviously a bunch of cute puppets.
However, Kangxi still said: "This thing looks too strange and unlucky." Everyone makes tiger head shoes, how do you make a cat? ”
Julia was puzzled, "Why can't cats?" ”
Kangxi's face sank: "Nonsense! What is a cat again? Of course not! ”
If you don't explain it, you just say no, what's wrong with the cat? Really!
But as soon as he got angry, Julia couldn't do it anymore.
Doraemon couldn't do it, and Julia was very frustrated, but she didn't get discouraged and continued to do something else, and soon she made a Astro Boy pillow. The pillow looked exactly like the one they bought at the toy store last time.
Julia did it skillfully, and her skills were almost exquisite, and she made two Astro Boys with sparkling eyes and smiling at each other, and quietly asked someone to give them to Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu got these two pillows, and he was so happy that he put them in his bedroom and watched them every day.
Julia thought to herself that she could open a Taobao store.
After receiving encouragement, she made a big kumamon (Kumamon) for Brother Ten, because Brother Ten loves the image of death, and he is a diehard meal for the minister, and Brother Ten's hard drive is full of funny videos of it. Fortunately, the shape of Kumamon is relatively simple, and it is easy to shoot. After that, Julia made a Spider-Man and gave it to Eighth Brother, because she knew that Eighth Brother was actually very obsessed with American comics - Spider-Man's puppet is very easy to make, as long as you find the red cloth and draw the grid with a thin brush. Julia hasn't even forgotten the imprisoned Yinxiang, however, she is relatively unfamiliar with Yinxiang's preferences - Julia hardly watches any loli animations.
In the end, she thought about it, so she had to turn out her old memories and make a few unique wooden cherry blossoms for Yinxiang, including Xiao Ke who looked like a doll, and got feedback that Yinxiang preferred the Dadao Temple Zhishi.
Next, Julia plans to challenge the entire Avengers - although this is too difficult, and the only easy one is probably the Hulk.
Julia feels like she's found a new career: making dolls. She likes to make things and create, but she didn't realize that she had such a hobby because she was busy with her studies.
Now, anyway, I am locked up in the palace and have nothing to do after work, so I might as well develop a personal hobby, and maybe I can become a professional puppet expert in the future.
came and went, and all kinds of weird things made by Julia finally aroused Kangxi's uneasiness.
One day, Julia suddenly realizes that half of the puppet she had made is missing.
It was a doll she had found from an old oilcloth umbrella and made from waste, the Joker in Batman. Julia borrowed a color pen to trace the pattern of the soles of her shoes, and drew the face of the clown according to the stills of Heath Ledger, and even the head was not sewn up.
I don't know who threw her away as waste. She thought to herself, her straw-yellow curly hair was ready.
As a result, in the afternoon, when she entered the study with tea, she found that the clown whose head was not sewn was placed on Kangxi's desk!
Julia was so frightened that the teacup almost fell to the ground!
How did this thing run to Kangxi?!
Kangxi's expression was still faint, and he pointed to the clown puppet: "You made this thing?" ”
Julia nodded: "It was the slave who made it." ”
She thought to herself that it was better to be a Batman, she should be five Batmen in one go, and when the time comes, she can casually talk about the auspicious words of five blessings and get through the trick - why does the eighth brother have to like clowns?
"What is it?" Kangxi picked it up, frowned and took a closer look, "It looks like a person." ”
"Yes, indeed a person, a clown."
Kangxi stared at her: "What are you doing with this thing?" ”
"Long live Hui, the eighth elder brother likes this thing, and the slave maid made it and gave it to him."
Kangxi's face suddenly became gloomy!
He threw the clown on the ground!
"You think I don't know?! You made these strange puppets because you wanted to exchange messages with your brothers! ”
Angry and sad, Julia threw herself on the ground and picked up the puppet.
"Nope!" "I'm not going to talk to them!" she exclaimed. That's what it's all about! They liked it, so I made it for them! ”
Kangxi stared at her with a gloomy expression: "Do you know that it is a capital crime to give and accept privately!" And it's such a weird thing! ”
Julia became even more angry when she heard this, so she simply grabbed the clown and put it on the table: "Okay." Since it is a capital crime to give and receive privately, then the slave and maid will openly and honestly plead long live, and after the puppet is completed, send someone to the eighth elder brother's mansion. It's not a private thing, is it? ”
Kangxi couldn't cry or laugh for a while!
He'd never met someone so messing around!
"What if I don't allow it?!" He said coldly.
Julia was stunned, and she looked at the clown: "Why shouldn't you allow it?" Don't you agree to such a small thing? ”
Kangxi was puzzled for a moment: "Wei, you are obviously very smart sometimes, but why are you so stupid sometimes?" ”
This time, he stopped Julia.
She thought about it for a long time before she finally said: "Probably because the rules and regulations in the slave's mind are not as many as those in the mind of the long live master." ”
When she said this, Kangxi was stunned!
After a long time, he finally stood up and said expressionlessly: "I think you are stupid and ignorant, this time, I will not pursue it." But in the future, don't do this mess again! ”
Julia was mad by what he said, she wanted to say I'm not stupid! I can write my master's thesis in English! Can you?
…… But in the end, she didn't dare to say it.
Kangxi saw that she didn't make a sound, and said unhappily: "What? Not convinced? ”
After enduring it for a long time, Julia had no choice but to lower her head: "The slave doesn't dare." (To be continued.) )
