Chapter 660: The Eight-Year-Old Prince (7)

Yun'er talked to her parents about her brother, and shocked the old couple. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no wonder his son didn't go home for lunch, and he dared to run away to get angry. Hurriedly asked Chang Sui to look for it, but he didn't find it at all, so he asked everywhere, and finally asked out, and went to the brick kiln of King An's Mansion to pull bricks. is still driving such a big car, and now Mrs. Chen can't sit still, for fear that her son will just think about unhappy things, so she drove the car to the wall.

"Don't worry too much, my brother's heart is calm. It's certain that you're not happy, but you have to face reality, right? ”

The gentleman didn't say anything, but went to the study and became depressed. He was strange to the Queen Mother: The prince made money for your son, why did he hinder the prince if he had nothing to do? So many women around Emperor Taizong squeezed you into the wall, and you forgot about it? Why do people have to follow the blind mix when they have a good life? But I can only think this in my heart, and I can't say a word to anyone, it's really heart-wrenching!

Blocking the heart is blocking the heart, and life has to be lived the same. Tian Liang came home very late, and when he came back, he went straight to bed and lay down. Yu'er came over to greet very distressed: "Xianggong, let's not worry, okay?" It's just that there are a few more women in the family. ”

Tian Liang took the fish in his arms and said sullenly: "You still come to persuade me, this matter is your most wronged, okay?" ”

"What is there to be wronged by the fish? This matter is not something you want, it was imposed on you by the Queen Mother. You are the only son of your parents, and it would be nice to have a few more women to help you spread the leaves. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you know what I'm worried about? How many of the women from the palace are fuel-efficient lamps? One of them is an older palace maid who has been in the palace for seven or eight years, and what I am most afraid of is that they have a belly and a spindle eye and cooperate to bully you. There is also the possibility of who is the Queen Mother's eyeliner. One of them is from the Queen Mother's Palace, and everything we do is under their surveillance......"

"Isn't it? Are we making money for the emperor, and the queen mother still sends people to spy on us? That's too much, isn't it? How good the old days were, but it's a pity...... But Xianggong, if you are always so depressed, you will be sick! ”

"You don't think I'm actually happy, do you? Maybe you'll have to do that kind of thing with a woman other than you in the future. I ......"

"Don't think about it so much, just do what you have to do, otherwise what should you do? The master and sister have been wronged enough, and this kind of thing has fallen on your head again......"

"Don't think about it, you have a child in your belly, you must give birth to it peacefully. Don't worry, no matter how many women appear around me, my thoughts about you will not change. ”

Yu'er hugged Tian Liang's waist and arched in his arms: "Xianggong said so, Yu'er was relieved." ”

In Fujin's room, the prince and Fujin were also muttering about the palace maid imposed by the queen mother.

"Lord Wang, you said, has the Queen Mother also reached menopause, how do you think that one is one out? Liangzi and Nalan are not all living a good life? Do you have to force them to enter the house? Who doesn't know that she is inserting eyeliner for us, and there are more Han people than there are fewer people, what kind of excuse is this? ”

"At least half of these nine palace maids must be the Queen Mother's eyeliner. If you don't talk about others, just talk about the little flower branch in the Queen Mother's palace, then it must be the eyeliner sent by the Queen Mother. In the future, our every move will be under her surveillance. ”

"Xiu'er has an idea, it's a bit unkind."

"You say."

"Isn't she here to spy on us? Let's spy on them too! Xiu'er thinks that the three palace maids who are stuffed around Liangzi will be eyeliner. Needless to say, Xiaohuazhi, the one named Caizhu is more likely, she has been in the palace for seven or eight years, and she has long been cunning. There is also the one surnamed Wanyan, who seems to be very arrogant, maybe he is a relative of the Queen Mother. The concubine means that Liangzi has several more concubines anyway, so he simply rewarded her with a maid as a concubine from the house. It's used to monitor these eyeliner, and they watch their every move unknowingly, so we know what to do, right? Otherwise, it's all the queen mother's world. ”

"This is also a solution, but can Ryoko accept it?"

"You whispered and asked him thoroughly, and that is what you meant. Anyway, one sheep is driven, and two sheep are also herded. I was wronged by the fish. ”

"There's no hurry, it's just that Ryoko agreed, and you have to choose someone who is suitable in all aspects, right? I've been weighing how to arrange the 1,500 people who entered the mansion after entering the mansion, and the number of people is too much, right? The guards, the soldiers, and the eunuchs don't need me to pay money, but they have to eat from me, don't they? There are also 900 palace maids, who get 900 catties of food a day, as well as oil, eggs, vegetables, fat powder and oil, and medical expenses, right? When the older palace maids reach the age of leaving the palace, each person has to give twenty taels of silver for settling in, and three hundred people will get six thousand taels of silver! It's purely to pass on the crisis, and it makes you secretly unable to say it, so you will suffer a dumb loss! These people are used to staying in the palace, and although they live in fear every day, their posture is superior. Of course, these will not convince them, but I am afraid that there will be conflicts in the future, and they can't be allowed to participate in business when they enter the government, right? ”

"Why not? Xiu'er also thinks that the queen mother and the emperor are in time for rain. Young Master Ruiqian has just ordered the stationmaster's line. The quantity of the order is much larger than that of retail, so that these people can start working for a few days after entering the house, and they will play palace fighting if they have nothing to do. At the beginning of their entry into the mansion, they had to tell them that the Ruiwang Mansion relied on their ability to eat, not on the shelf, and on how hard the backstage was. When you come, you have to do a good job. ”

"You're right, you must change the problem of these people playing with their hearts and minds. In fact, I said that those who intrigue all day long are full of food, even those concubines. If she doesn't eat for three days, is she still in the mood to calculate others? The prince said.

"You're right, since they're here, they have to abide by the rules here, and they have to hone themselves in the hard work. Let them live in King Xuan's mansion, and don't bring the habits of Gong Dou over. Fu Jin said.

The construction of Xuanwangfu is progressing rapidly, and in just a few days, the collective dormitory has begun to take shape. The work of digging the earth is done by the personal soldiers of the palace, as well as the personal soldiers of the Xuan Wangfu, and the personal soldiers of the roasted Shizi in turn, and the technical work is done by the craftsmen who belong to the internal affairs government and belong to the palace in the future. It's all under the control of Wang Ye and Tian Liang!

Their task was to build up the quarters of the guards, personal soldiers, eunuchs, and girls and mothers who had entered the palace within half a month, and they could not delay the entry into October immediately. These people are really unambiguous, whether they are guards or soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, they will work when they come. It is said that it is Xuanwang's Mansion, which is not as good as Nanwaifu, at least there are a few old houses, as well as vegetable gardens and some fruit trees, flowers and plants, and it is too appropriate to describe it here as "barren grass and miserable".

However, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all old oilers in construction.

Not only did the wall swish fast, but also the scaffolding of the main hall was erected, which looked very serious, and it was quite imposing, like a palace. Large pieces of green bricks were pulled to the scene by horse-drawn carts one after another.

The newly built house is very damp, and the sunshine is not as abundant and hot as summer and early autumn, so it must dry slowly, and these people from the palace are already unstable, and then spend the winter in a damp and cold house, maybe they will suffer from rheumatism next year, and they may hang themselves. So Tian Liang and Wang Ye laughed as soon as they said that the prince smiled: "If you think well, use the fire wall and fire kang to keep warm." There is still a lot of firewood and grass in Xuanwang's mansion, buy more coal, and make a stove when it is cold. Fortunately, the emperor gave Xuan'er and Ba'er's annual salaries and the silver of Jialu rice to the king to support these people, which is enough. Our business is just short of people, and these people are labor resources. It won't take a few months to earn it back. Why do you say that? In addition to doing manual work, the girl and grandmother in our house also have to clean the house, yard, clean the doors and windows, and someone has to serve the master, that is, she has her own job to do first, and then the rest of the time is to do the work. Who do those people in Xuan'er's house serve? What's the errand? How can you give them two wages? They work for the monthly money. ”

"You're absolutely right. Do a deed and give a sum of silver, or you will be spoiled. However, his subordinates were very worried that these later pro-soldiers would be disobedient. They are all soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, and when they come to the palace as personal soldiers, they must be awkward, in case there is any conflict with the original personal soldiers during training, the Queen Mother must not think that we are bullying? ”

"You have a point, it's very likely. However, this king thinks that our own soldiers are a cut above them, so why don't we set up a ring and try it? ”

"You have a good idea, when you are entertained, you can also convince the uncle of the Royal Forest Army."

"Then let's prepare, you and Nalan will lead the pro-soldiers in the house to set up the ring, and make it decent and formal. You can take the materials directly, and you don't need to ask the king. What kind of character you are, this king understands, do things boldly, do not be restrained. Let Nalan help you, this Nalan also has some ability to do things, and the two of you are usually right, and you will get along. ”

"Thank you for your trust."

So, half a month later, the dormitory with the fire wall and the fire kang was built, all of which were buildings of blue bricks and red tiles, very formal and neat, in the form of a courtyard. There are five rooms in the main room, three rooms on the left and right sides of the ear room, five rooms in the gatehouse (one of which is an aisle), and nine rooms in the east and west rooms. In this way, there are thirty-three houses in one courtyard. The courtyard is very large, much larger than the courtyard where Dr. Zhu lives. The five main rooms open in the middle, and the entrance is naturally a hall house, and then two rooms on each side, the higher ones live in the inner room, and the lower ones live in the outer room. The south kang near the window is very long and wide, and can sleep seven or eight people. It is a quota of five people, and ten people sleep inside and outside, and ten people at the opposite door. There are nine rooms with three doors, which is equal to three sets of rooms, and the middle is a hall room, one on each side, and the number of rooms is slightly smaller. Four people slept on the bunk, and there was more than enough. In this way, eight people can sleep in three rooms, twenty-four people in nine rooms, forty-eight people in the east and west wings combined, and twenty people in the main room, which is sixty-eight people. The gatehouse is where the eunuch's father-in-law lives, and each courtyard is equipped with two eunuchs, so a set of courtyard houses can accommodate exactly seventy people. A total of twenty-five sets of such courtyards were built, in addition to palace maids and eunuchs, there were also guards and personal soldiers. The remaining vacant houses are the dining room, the manager's office, the manager's office, and a small theater for entertainment.

The Qing Dynasty was a hierarchical society, and all people's residences were distributed according to rank. If the level is high, you will live in the main room, and if you are a little closer, you will live in the side room. The roster of all palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and personal soldiers was sent by the queen mother to the prince, and the situation above was quite detailed, age, rank, family background, specialty, number of years out of the palace, etc., are very clear, and they will allocate housing according to this roster, otherwise people will come and waste time.

The soldiers and guards were all young men, so they lived far away from the maids and girls, and the courtyard was as large as here, and the number of people living in it was the same. But there were only thirty-two guards, less than seventy. Because the guards were higher than the soldiers, they all lived in the main house. The rest of the rooms were all pro-soldiers.

All the guards, soldiers, and male craftsmen, such as carpenters, bricklayers, and gardeners, have been assigned quarters. There are also thirty eunuchs in charge of miscellaneous affairs who live in the upside-down house at the gate of the palace maid's courtyard, so that they can be considered men, and give the palace maids a courage.

At noon, several King Kong guards gathered together and talked about the palace maids given by the Queen Mother. Tian Liang poured a glass of fruit wine for Mangge: "In terms of age, you are older than the three of us, the purpose of asking you is to learn some experience, how to get along with the concubine, and how to arrange that." ”

Mang Ge wanted to wail: "The chief steward is making fun of his subordinates, right?" Ever since my old man forced me to stuff a concubine, my life has been miserable. The copper-ringed knife here said that I was distracted, looking at the bowl and eating the pot, and the one at home sighed all day long and complained that he was born at the wrong time. ”

"What I'm saying is that Mu Guiying, who has always been a golden iron horse with a copper-ring big knife in your family, is now two more good, see what you do. How did you arrange that? ”

"What arrangement? Can you make it explicit? It's stupid underneath. ”

"Fill the garlic," Nalan said, "just spend the night in each woman's room for a few days to rotate?" ”

"You're all in shape, aren't you? Before the people arrived, they were worried about the rest of the people's bed. I'll tell you, it's awkward. If you have two women, you will live in the main lady's room for twenty days a month, and if you have three women, you will be in the main lady's room for half a month, and the other half a month will be divided equally among the concubines. If you have four women......"

"Stop, stop, there are two other than the main lady, there can't be four women."

"What are you guys talking about?" The prince came, and the four of them hurriedly gave up their seats and served tea.

Mang Ge said: "Isn't this a few brothers who see that their subordinates are a year or two older than them, and they learn from their subordinates, and ask how many days they spend in the women's room a month......

Tian Liang said: "You misunderstood, right? We mean, how do you usually get along with Mama Fucha and that one? We're afraid of conflicts at home, aren't we? ”

"Isn't it? You don't think that's what you guys asked. ”

The prince laughed loudly: "It's really not in his position and not in his politics, you are the big brother, why not tell them the lessons?" ”

"No, this kind of thing is also exchanged?"

"Don't be too fond of an enemy, but don't be fun. How to say it, there are differences between people, and there are many ways to get along. In any case, you must remember that the Queen Mother does not reward you women just for you. It's also important to you, why don't others reward it? I mean don't start out hostile, and don't get bogged down in gentleness. Sometimes I think Confucius's golden mean is quite reasonable, that is, don't say anything too much, have self-control, neither keep a straight face all day long, and don't giggle. I'm sure you'll handle this relationship. You must treat your wife with respect, and the concubine can't be kept as a pet, understand? A lot of things don't come together. (To be continued.) )
