Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Pearl Returns Together to Comfort the Lonely
The ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not listen to the emperor's words at this time, and gathered in Kunning Palace to see the queen mother, Shunzhi had no choice but to let them in, it turned out that they were here to oppose Shunzhi and privately said that the draft was canceled, it turned out that they went through several months to do a good job in the roster of the show girls selected by each flag, and yesterday they had used a mule cart to send the show girls selected by each flag to the capital in advance. At sunset, the car is distributed, and at night it enters the Di'an Gate, and after waiting for the palace gate to open outside the Shenwu Gate, it gets off the car, and under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace, it enters the Shunzhen Gate in order.
And this time, the emperor selected several children of the Eight Banners, who were Han people in the past, but they were directly ranked at the front and entered the Kunning Palace, so they were naturally opposed.
Shunzhi had no reason to say that he had taken a fancy to Yunzhu on the first day of the draft, so he had to discuss with the Queen Mother to continue to run for the women who had been scheduled in this issue.
Shunzhi took the opportunity to decree again, the Eight Banners Show Girl, in addition to enriching the emperor's **, is to marry the descendants of the royal family, or to marry the prince, the prince of the county and their sons, the queen mother heard Shunzhi say so, naturally she was happy. The Queen Mother said: First of all, we must strictly review the flag and age, and those who are not in the flag want to participate in the draft, which is more than the sky; Zaiqi's want to escape the draft, but he is also asking for hardship.
Shunzhi smiled: Now the children I brought to accompany you first are all Han people who have transferred to Baqi. The Queen Mother smiled, since this Han man has joined the Eight Banners, of course, it can also be taken care of. It's just that the position of the queen must be an authentic Eight Banners noble.
On this day, the Queen Mother and the Emperor selected two flags in the Imperial Garden, and the Queen Mother came back in the evening, because she left a few Daiyu in the palace, and was especially kind to Daiyu Baochai to meet the Yuan Concubine. Several eunuchs led the three of them to the palace of the concubine, who had always been taken care of in the palace to raise the fetus, and it was rare to see her family, and she was naturally very happy to see Daiyu Baochai. Daiyu smelled the fragrance of Chinese medicine in the palace and motioned to Concubine Yuan to let the others retreat. Quietly asked, "What kind of medicine did my sister take?" ”
Concubine Yuan smiled: "It's okay to talk to your sisters, but it's not good for outsiders to know, since I came back from my province, I have been pregnant with this child, but I am already very careful, and the day before yesterday I was a little red, this medicine was used by the emperor to let the hospital come to protect my fetus." ”
Daiyu asked, "You can show me the dregs."
Concubine Yuan knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered Eunuch Zhou to bring the medicine residue.
Daiyu carefully looked through the medicine with a silver needle, then wrapped the medicine residue and said to Concubine Yuan: "How long has my sister taken this medicine?" ”
"It's been almost seven days."
Daiyu said: "Don't hide it from my sister, I don't know who prescribed this medicine to you, you must not eat it again, there are a very small amount of safflower and leeches, as well as the smell of musk, I am afraid of detecting, so I use it very little, but my sister has also used it for seven days, this is very dangerous, you stopped this medicine today, prescribed some fetal medicine to the concubine, and said that those supplements will be according to the prescription I said, slowly take the tonic, if it is effective or you can save the child." Rao is like this, and I am afraid that this child will be born with insufficient blood and blood, which is a little inappropriate. And it must be careful, all the drugs must be carefully checked by a caring doctor before they are easy to use."
Concubine Yuan nodded and cried, "Who is so ruthless, I only have such a child at my age, and now I have almost six months, how can I be poisoned." Busy asking the Zhou eunuch to decoct the medicine according to Daiyu's prescription, Daiyu saw that Eunuch Zhou was leaving, and was busy: "Wait, this medicine can't be taken in the palace, so as not to cause a thousand troubles, you have to go out and get it in the pharmacy on the market." Give the medicine list to the shop and keep it. Just wrap up the dregs and keep quiet for now. Wait for Concubine Yuan to give birth to this child safely, and then make plans. ”
Concubine Yuan and Daiyu, Baoqin, and Baochai chatted that most of the pregnant concubines in the former palace were difficult to preserve until the child was born, and even if the child was born, it was difficult to feed, two or three years old, six or seven years old, or had smallpox, or had lung disease, so those who had children were trembling, and they were begging for a good prescription for the baby.
Daiyu said: Since the child has it, don't use more medicine, and the daily diet is proper and the mood is relaxed, which is good.
Concubine Yuan sighed: "Everyone is staring at you like corns, where it is easy, just because my sister did not apply for the job to make a big fuss, let me hang my heart for my father for a long time." It's also a loss to this child, and it came at the right time, it's really the luck of the house. ”
Daiyu said: "This is also my uncle's affection for Feng'er, why doesn't Feng'er know, this time I came to choose Feng'er and thought about it seriously, and I can avoid all the troubles by not recognizing myself as a disciple of the Eight Banners, but my uncle may not be liked by the emperor." ”
It turned out that Daiyu had planned for a long time, and only said that she was Han and had a congenital weakness, so she could naturally avoid a lot of trouble.
Daiyu gave eunuch Zhou the address of Xing Yuyan Pharmacy, Baochai made an appointment with Daiyu in the palace The news spread from this pharmacy, naturally stayed in the store, and the man sent the medicine list upstairs, Baochai saw the medicine list written by Daiyu, and after the medicine list, Daiyu had a medicine for Baochai's heart disease, which was to report safety, and she kept the list. I asked the eunuch Concubine Zhou about the details of the situation, and added a few flavors of medicine to calm her anger in the medicine list, Eunuch Zhou quietly looked at her, and felt that she was very similar to Baochai who came to the palace today, and hurriedly asked Baochai's name, Baochai smiled lightly: said that his name was Xing Yuyan, and Eunuch Zhou thought of the person in the palace who looked like Baochai I don't know who it was, his mouth was silent, and he was puzzled.
Eunuch Zhou went straight to Jia Lian's house, Jia Lian only went out with the army for two days, Sister Feng was busy entertaining, and thanked Eunuch Zhou for his kindness to Jia Lian, then Eunuch Zhou said: "This is it, now the medicine and tonic of the concubine are not accounted for from the palace, send me to ask if there is a ready-made silver to send a thousand taels over, until the child is born, I am afraid that it may not be enough" Sister Feng listened,
smiled and said: "What is sent over, some are silver, just redeem it first." After asking Concubine Yuan's body again, Eunuch Zhou said: "Grandpa Xia, the manager over there, still has to take care of it, otherwise I won't be able to get through this face, and I will leak the news, I'm afraid it's not good." He still hasn't sent 1,200 taels of silver last two times, and by the end of this year, he will naturally send them all together. Sister Feng smiled: "Your Grandpa Xia is so stingy, this is also worth mentioning. If I say a word, I'm not afraid that he will be too careful,
If we all remember it like this, we don't know how much we have returned. I'm afraid that there is none, and if there is, just take it. What's more, Father-in-law Zhou is just for our girl. ”
I went to Mrs. Wang's place and talked to Mrs. Wang, saying that it was a loss for Sister Lin to enter the palace and found it early, and Concubine Yuan wanted to keep this child, I was afraid that she would not want thousands of taels of silver. Mrs. Wang hurriedly took out three thousand taels from her own body and said, "You quietly send him to take it, don't make a noise." Don't say I'm biased, naturally I don't come out of your public account. "Wiping your own tears." Give you Sister Lin and bring five hundred taels to recuperate for your big sister. Sister Feng smiled and took it over. gave the one thousand taels to Eunuch Zhou. He also gave two hundred taels to eunuch Zhou to make tea. I have been sending the little maid to the outside of the palace.
Here Ping'er smiled and said: "Grandma, when is this trouble!" Sister Feng smiled: "As soon as she spoke, a wave came." Sister Feng said: "You have also seen it, today's house, Ming'er's and that servant, are all borrowed money and not repaid, this week the eunuch came, Mingli is for Yuanchun, I am afraid that the emperor's family can't afford a little medicine money, so naturally we are wronged." There are not a few of these incidents per month. People only look at the surface of this wealth, where do they know the flowing water of this day. It's a loss that the second master of Lian sold your Miss Lin's house in Suzhou for three or two million last time, how can there be these inputs now. ”
Ping'er said: "The second master and grandma are really secretive to Miss Lin, and they are not afraid that she and Mrs. will mention it that day." ”
Sister Feng smiled: "I'm afraid she may not be able to do a treasure ** milk." Where is the opportunity to play with this tongue? ”
"You damn girl, you have a good conscience again. Just go to her and report Second Master Lian and me. ”
Ping'er smiled, "No matter how much I pity her, she is still someone else's family, we are from the house over there after all." I just saw that she never used the money herself, until she scattered all the wealth that her parents gave her. ”
"That's not the reason. This is also Sister Lin's cleverness, she is such a talent, where to find someone who is not rich, the old lady naturally has a dowry to give, if it is just in her own house, it will not cost anything to marry one by one. She has to do good deeds herself, and she doesn't know how much extra money she has made with the second master. I'm it out. It's still not enough to make ends meet. ”
Ping'er knew that Sister Feng had received more than 2,000 taels of silver this time, where would she say it. Ping'er waited for Sister Feng to wash her face again, changed her clothes and went to Jia's mother to serve dinner.
The queen mother liked the girls Shunzhi picked to accompany her very much, and persuaded Shunzhi not to
The Queen Mother said: "Yunzhu is often by my side, how I don't know that she is good, it's just that she promised to marry your cousin, and it's still my idea, how can I change." And she's not on the list this year. ”
"My younger brother is still young, and Yunzhu really likes me, and I hope that my mother will be perfect."
"She's only thirteen years old now, wait for me to tell Prince Eshuo about this matter slowly, he has a stubborn temperament, and sometimes I can't be unreasonable, but this time you always have to choose some people to deal with the ministers, how can you dissolve this draft privately."
Besides, this year's beauties are all beautiful, all of them are like ice and snow girls, I like them all when I see them. ”
"The queen mother doesn't know," Shunzhi saw that the queen mother promised to find a way for herself and Yunzhu, and was happy in her heart, and hurriedly pulled Yunzhu to thank the queen mother, Yunzhu and the queen mother were very familiar with each other, and the queen mother held hands at this time, and Shunzhi was on the side, but she was humble by nature and polite to the queen on the side, the queen turned out to be the niece of the queen mother, and was complaining about the emperor for this draft. Because she is the niece of the Queen Mother, her temper is not much better.
Shunzhi can also be confident about the Queen Mother at this time.
"I originally wanted to choose Miss Lin, but this Miss Lin is the person that King Beijing has always liked, if I choose her this time, I am afraid that he is now with Wu Sangui, which will be unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty, and I want to choose this treasure girl, but this treasure girl is like a snowman, and it seems that she is about to blow in one breath. I haven't looked at her closely. Speaking of the other girls,
Anyway, just leave the name tag and wait for the reconsideration. ”
So Lin Daiyu temporarily accompanied the princess and county lord in Jianning Palace; Xue Baochai served in the palace of the concubine, Baoqin was young, and was selected to accompany the princess, and several other candidate girls were selected in the Zhou nobles and the emperor, or in the east and west palaces, and several county lords were selected for the princes and nobles, and twenty-four people were selected. Pending reconsideration. Daiyu, Baochai, Baoqin and others entered the palace to live after seven days. Shunzhi and the Queen Mother took a group of women to visit the imperial garden together, Yunzhu pulled Daiyu behind, Yunzhu whispered, "Sister wait for three years, wait for my sister to come into the palace." "Shunzhi has been in tension all these years, and the relationship with the Queen Mother is also very unharmonious for various reasons, and I don't want Xiao Yunzhu's arrival to make the Queen Mother relax a lot. The Imperial Garden also set up a banquet to entertain a group of girls and aristocratic sons, and for a while the cups were staggered, smiling and happy, indescribably exquisite and extravagant. Everyone looked at the spring flowers in May in the imperial garden, the small bridge flowing, and they didn't feel relaxed, Daiyu saw that Emperor Shunzhi had completely forgotten the concubine, and couldn't help but sigh. Yunzhu whispered: "Why don't you come to the palace first, and we can be companions when your sister comes in later." Daiyu smiled: "My original intention remains the same, I don't want to come in this palace anyway." ”
