Chapter 166: Heart-to-Heart (2)

"Yunyun, look at this one."

"Ugly! Why did Xiaoli take a picture of my ugly big belly? How embarrassing is that? If you go back and show people, won't you laugh off your big teeth? ”

"You don't understand that. If you have this big-bellied photo, at least no one will suspect that your child picked it up. Your royal family is the most bloodliner, and the children brought back from outside are likely to be suspected of coming from the wrong place, right? Also, this picture will be shown to children in the future, and they will know how hard it is for you to conceive them. They will be kind to you and filial to you. ”

"Well, that makes sense. It's very precious. But wouldn't it be a hassle to bring these photos home? ”

"You can't show it to anyone casually, for example, Mr. Fu, his wife, Tian Liang, your parents and your personal maid, no one else can see it. Those people don't understand, gossip everywhere, and the more it spreads, the more bizarre it becomes, and it may really cause trouble. Be careful, say as little as possible about things here, and take them out at critical moments. ”

"Yes, I can do that. But what should I do when I go back and want to think of you? ”

"We'll miss you too. But there is no way at all, we are people of two worlds, and it is because of fate that we can get along like this for a year, so cherish each other. I hope you will always be happy, happy, healthy and long in the future! ”

"Me too. When I first came, I was looking forward to going back every day, but now I really can't bear you. ”

"I can't imagine how you live in your environment. The family fights, house fights, and palace fights in TV series and novels are too cruel, how can a fairy-like person like you adapt there? ”

"When Sister Xiaoli helped me print the materials, I also watched a few episodes of TV dramas, all of which were Qing court dramas. There are some of those who play it, but some of them are exaggerated. It is said that the concubines in the palace kill each other and poison each other, how can it be so powerful. If that happens, won't the royal heirs be extinct? Our house is different from other houses, although there is some friction between masters and subordinates, but there is no life-and-death thing. King...... Oh, Mr. Fu is the backbone of our big family, and the royal family has unified government rules, which are very strict and cruel to punish subordinates. But our government has never carried out corporal punishment on subordinates, so the subordinates in the mansion are not terrified all the time. Everyone comes out to work to support their families, who wants to harm others if they have nothing to do? ”

"And how about your accommodation in the house? How long will it take for you and Mr. Fu to meet? ”

"I live in a courtyard behind Fujin, which is a building where a prince of the Ming Dynasty lived, and it was very large and spacious. The gentleman rested at Fujin for five days, and then went to Yun'er for five days. ”

"Don't you feel lonely when he's gone?"

"Get used to it. Don't I just like to draw, and I forget everything when I paint. ”

"Is your eldest son smart? Is it cute? Are you very close? ”

"His name is Xuan'er, he is very smart and cute, he has been raised by Fujin since he was a child, and he is also very close to me, but he is a little afraid of me. He has been named the prince by the emperor. ”

"Huh? Your son is already a son? I knew that Wu Sangui's son, Wu Yingxiong, was called Wu Shizi and was the one who succeeded the throne. So what do you call your son? Do you want to kowtow when you see him? ”

"He's young, he doesn't need to kowtow, everyone usually calls him the prince, just call him a thousand children when they meet."

"Is your identity higher or your son's higher?"

"Of course, the status of the prince is high, but I am his mother, and he still wants to say hello when he sees me. We talk about filial piety there, and filial piety comes first. Some things in big families are very troublesome, so please be safe every day. ”

"What is the treatment of the prince? Oh, is the emperor giving him money? ”

"The annual income of the prince is 6,000 taels, and the rice is 6,000 hundred, which is more than the king of the county."

"Huh? So much, huh? He's still a kid. Are you talking about a kettle? ”

"No, Hu is the unit of measurement you are talking about here, one Hu is twenty-five catties, and six thousand Hu is 150,000 catties."

"Wow! No wonder they are all vying to be the emperor, a prince is treated so highly. Isn't the emperor's son more silver? Then did you give birth to a son, did you have a high status in the house? ”

"Before the prince was knighted, he only had ten taels of silver in pocket money every month. The seal of Baylor is 2,500 taels of silver and 2,500 hulu rice per year, and the title of the king of the county is 5,000 taels of silver and 5,000 hulu rice. The prince is 10,000 taels and 10,000 hulu rice. There are even more regents and vassal kings. ”

"Isn't there more of the emperor's money?"

"The emperor does not have a salary, but every year the household department will divide a part of the tax specifically for the expenses of the palace, which will be managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also has to divide the various uses in detail, and the emperor doesn't ask about this money at all, and the rest of the money will be used to manage the country, and the emperor can't use it at will. ”

"So, your eldest son is a thousand taels more than a county king's wife? Wow! Such a young child, giving so much money. Doesn't it mean that the prince is more noble than the prince? ”

"That's not the case, the prince inherits the throne, and if the prince has achievements, he will have the possibility of being crowned king, at least he will be a Belle beyson, and if he has a title, he will have a fortune. Maybe whoever will inherit the throne and become the emperor. If the emperor confers on him the title of prince, the salary will be 10,000 taels. ”

"What if the emperor doesn't have a son? Will there be a prince in a certain palace? ”

"It's possible. If the emperor does not have a son, it is very likely that he will appoint his elder brother or younger brother to succeed him before his death, or he may pass the stepbrother's child in advance, and this child will inherit his throne. But there was also a special circumstance, when he suddenly appointed the son of a prince who was not noticed by everyone. If you don't have time to write the edict of enthronement, there may be a situation where the royal family will fight for the throne, and no one wants this to happen. If the emperor has no son, he will be very sober and will choose the prince very early. ”

"Then your status in the house is still very high, right? After all, she gave birth to a son. ”

"It's okay, when I entered the house, many people muttered behind my back that I was from a low background, and when I gave birth to a son, my mother was more precious than my son, and my subordinates were still in awe of me in front of me."

"How many maids are there serving you?"

"To say that there are a lot of maids under my name, there are more than a dozen, but there are only four who serve personally, and they must be trustworthy, one is Tian Liang is the daughter-in-law Yu'er's sister, and the other is sent by Fujin. There is also a housekeeper and a cook. They are in charge of my daily life. The other maids are in charge of cleaning. Mr. has a habit of cleanliness, and his food, clothing, and housing must be very clean. Lanlan, to be honest, I think that although the women of our time are not as proud as you, making money to support themselves, they are more worry-free than you, there is no socialization as you said, the interaction of colleagues, the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the evaluation of professional titles or anything. I don't need to worry about anything outside, I just dress up every day, and then go to Fujin to say goodbye, and it's fine, and the rest of the time is at my disposal. At first, I was forty taels of silver per month, but when I gave birth to Xuan'er, it doubled, and eighty taels of silver was equal to sixteen thousand yuan here. Later, it came to one hundred taels a month. I don't usually go out, and I use a part of it to reward the girl's mother. Fu Jin also often finds all kinds of excuses to reward me. ”

"Have you seen the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang? Is she beautiful? How old are you? ”

"Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang?" Yun'er didn't understand for a while.

"Oh, Xiaozhuang is the name or temple number behind her, the one who used to be Concubine Zhuang."

"Are you talking about the current Queen Mother? Haven't seen it. Because of my low background, I am not qualified to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother. However, the Queen Mother has a very good relationship with Fujin in our house, and Fujin often enters the palace. Did you just ask the Queen Mother if she was beautiful? The Queen Mother was very beautiful and was known as the first beauty of Manchuria. However, the Fujin in our house is also very beautiful, known as 'Saiyuhuan', which is more beautiful than Yang Guifei. The Queen Mother is three years older than my family Fujin. ”

"Oh, Mr. Fuku's main lady is also beautiful, isn't she? How is it better than you? ”

"Much better than me. My appearance is a beautiful woman at best, and Fujin is called a beauty. ”

"Is there one of the emperor's concubines named Concubine Dong E?"

"Yes, the emperor loves her the most. She is not only beautiful, but also literary and proficient in poetry and songs. ”

"Is Concubine Tong, who gave birth to the third prince, very favored?"

"In your words, it's so-so. Concubine Tong is too honest, but she can't help it if she is not honest, and no one has the final say who the emperor likes. That Concubine Tong is our cousin of Fujin. ”

"Oh, that is, Mr. Fu's original wife is also surnamed Tong?"

"Fujin's father is the brother of Tong Niangniang's father."

"It's interesting. How old was the Third Prince in your plane? Is it smart? Is it pretty? ”

"He's the same age as our school's Xuegege, he should be six years old, and he's very smart and studious, but he's not very pretty. He had smallpox and a few pockmarks on his face. I haven't seen it either, but I heard from Fu Jin. ”

"I'm sorry. Yunyun, in fact, I have a lot of questions I want to ask, but I can't ask more. My mother instructed, don't embarrass you about the secrets of the Qing court. ”

"Since it's a secret, I'm afraid Yun'er doesn't know either, there are many secrets in the Forbidden City, and our various palaces wish they didn't know anything."

"You're so right, sometimes it's not good to know too much. Thank you, that's enough to know. ”

Lan Lan really started to get busy, not only did she draw a lot of portraits and photos of Yun'er, but she also took a lot of close-ups of her face, half of her body, and her whole body for Mr. Fu and Tian Liang. It's all on the face, and I'm embarrassed to ask. Tingting and Xiaoli also took turns taking photos of the three adults and two children of the Lanlan family and Mr. Fu, and Yan SΓΉ and Hailong also joined the ranks of taking pictures. They have a whole photo, which was taken by the classmates brought by Yan SΓΉ, and Yan SΓΉ said that if there is no self on the picture, it will be a regret that cannot be made up for a lifetime.

Lan Lan also took Yun'er and the three of them to browse ** Square, History Museum, Observatory, Natural History Museum, Red Mansion Grand View Garden, Dashilar, Temple of Heaven, Wangfujing Department Store, Dong'an Market and other places. took a lot of photos for the three of them, and everyone also took a lot of photos.

Yun'er not only likes the life photos that Xiaoli took for herself, but also likes the art photos of blue and blue photos very much. There is everything in the life photos, even taking the children to the supermarket. Tian Liang and Yun'er were pushing a shopping truck, with Baobao and Beibei sitting in the car, their fat hands pointing everywhere, and Wang Ye and Xiaoli chatting while walking; There are also photos of Yun'er, Wang Ye and the child, as well as photos of Tian Liang and Wang Ye discussing things together, photos of Yun'er and her eldest sister learning to cook, photos of sitting on the bed with a big belly studying, and a very interesting photo that Xiaoli named "Kangaroo Mother".

In those days, Ling Juan had a cold and sneezed, for fear of infecting the baby and Beibei, so she went to the eldest sister's room to rest, and Yun'er took the child by herself. Yun'er has a lot to do, and she loves to be clean, mopping the floor, wiping furniture, cabinets and glass every day, and the two children can turn over in bed, so they are afraid of falling on the ground. So after the child had fallen asleep, she sewed a pocket with the sewing machine given by her eldest sister, the top was open, and it was put on the head, and there was a pocket in the front and back, which was very similar to the blanket. Just sew the cotton in the cloth at the back of the baby's head to form a wide cotton strip so that it doesn't strangle the babies. The two babies are put in the front and back pockets, and the hands and feet in the pockets will be very uncomfortable and they will cry. Therefore, Yun'er left gaps on both sides of the blanket to stretch out her arms and legs, and there were straps around her waist that could be tied up to secure the pockets. In this way, Yun'er can do anything. Xiaoli took a picture of her mopping the floor.

Two "wallabies" are enjoying themselves in their mother's pocket. Xiaoli was printing materials in the outer room when she heard Yun'er laughing and shouting for help, Xiaoli immediately rushed into the inner room to save Yun'er, only to see Yun'er sitting on the ground and writhing. Xiaoli hurriedly asked, "Sister Yunyun, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Behold, my sons and daughters are put together, and count my ribs."

Xiaoli couldn't laugh anymore, it turned out that the little hand stretched out by the baby Beibei was just reaching Yun'er's waist, and the little hand pinched the meat on the mother's waist and pinched.
