Chapter 729: Return to the Capital (2)
When the little maid on the door of Sufu informed Sunahai and his wife that the eldest lady was back, Sunahai, who had always been strong, had tears in his eyes: "Quick! Pick it in! What else does your daughter report? ”
Mrs. Su's figure had already rushed to the porch: "Juan'er! Eniang's good girl! She rushed towards the gate like a gust of wind, and neither of the two maids who served her could catch up with her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Master Su followed behind her and reminded, "Madam, be careful of dizziness!" ”
"Amma, Eniang, my daughter is back!" Su Wenjuan knelt in front of her parents in one step, and Bing'er and Qing'er also knelt down. The three of them kowtowed to Lord Su and his wife, the old couple helped their daughter, grandson, and Qing'er up, Wen Juan hugged her mother tightly, and the mother and daughter were full of joy and sorrow, and burst into tears. Mrs. Su grabbed her daughter's face, looked at it distressedly, and muttered: "Thin, dark, ......"
"Okay, okay, let's go back to the room to shower, change clothes, and eat." Master Su looked at his daughter, who had become rough-skinned, and stroked his beard and said, "Young Master Qing and Bing'er come with the old man." "He has never regarded Qing'er as a subordinate of his son-in-law's family, and calling Qing'er a young master is the same as watching Tie Yan.
Wen Juan said: "Amma, there are still luggage and mountain goods on the car outside." ”
"You don't care, Amma will tell someone to cook, go into the house." Bing'er, how is your father? Suffer there? ”
"Back to my grandfather, my father's health is very good, and he has already gone to the riverside, and my mother and I just came back."
"What riverside?" Sunahai didn't understand.
"That's the case, the Rakshasa country in the north often has soldiers to harass the border people of the Qing Dynasty, burning, killing and looting, and the troops guarding the border of the Qing Dynasty are insufficient, so young and strong men are transferred to supplement the troops, and Tie Yan is also transferred. Our mother and son couldn't follow them again, so they came back. Wen Juan told her father.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Sunahai felt a desolation in his heart: women don't understand the cruelty of the battlefield, and the son-in-law is unpredictable in life and death, but how can he bear to say this success? Forget it, didn't telling her about this as soon as her daughter entered the door added to her troubles?
After Su Wenjuan bathed, changed her clothes, and ate, Mrs. Su, who was a mother, couldn't wait to start asking how her daughter had come over in the past two years. Qing'er said to Wen Juan: "Young lady, Qing'er wants to go home and have a look." The home he was talking about was naturally Wen Juan's mother-in-law's house, and it was also the small courtyard house where Bing'er was born. In fact, he not only wanted to go home to see, but he was also not used to being served in Shangshu Mansion.
"No, no! Why is Young Master Qing so outward? You are my uncle's brother, that is, Wen Juan's uncle, there has been no one there for two years, maybe how thick the dust is. When the old man tells someone to clean up, it's too late for you to go back and have a look. Thanks to you taking care of their mother and son along the way, otherwise how could a woman's family successfully complete the journey of 5,000 miles? The old man really remembers! ”
"Master Su is serious, it is Qing'er's responsibility to escort the housewife, and Qing'er should do her best."
"You kid, the old man really treats you as his uncle's younger brother, and some people's brothers can't treat their brothers and sisters-in-law like you."
Su Wenjuan said: "Since Ama regards Qing'er as her own child, why don't you recognize him as a righteous son and give Juan'er's brother an extra brother?" Qing'er has no parents since she was a child, and some people are in pain. ”
"Very good, very good! Ama recognized Qing'er's son, I wonder if Young Master Qing is willing? ”
Qing'er can't refuse no matter how stupid she is? Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Sunahai and Mrs. Su three times, "Father-in-law, stepmother-in-law, please accept the worship of the righteous son Qing'er!" ”
"Hahaha...... The old man has another son, and he can have children and grandchildren in his old age! What about the housekeeper? Celebrate with a feast! One is to pick up the wind and wash the dust for his daughter, and the other is to be happy with his son, double happiness! ”
"But grandpa, Bing'er has always been used to calling Uncle Qing, he is your old son, naturally his mother's younger brother, shouldn't Bing'er call him uncle?"
"That's your uncle and nephew, whatever you want, my baby." Sunahai likes Bing'er's grandson very much, very much!
Sunahai's second wife and concubine's son Su Wenju also knew the news, and came to visit Wenjuan, Bing'er, and Qing'er, and the family laughed and laughed, which was particularly lively and warm.
Three months have passed, Su Wenjuan's waist has thickened, and her parents know that their daughter is pregnant, so they are naturally very happy. Both families are thin, and having multiple children is a great joy. A few months later, Su Wenjuan successfully gave birth to a baby girl, named Lu'er, to commemorate the days of sharing hardships with her husband.
Back at home, back to Su Mansion, where she had lived for eighteen years, Wen Juan's heart calmed down a little. Teaching her son, raising her daughter, and being a needle, Su Wenjuan, who is known for her literary talents, has become a good mother. But how did she know that what awaited her ahead was a tragic end?
Maybe it's a good thing that people don't know about misfortunes that didn't happen? How would it be otherwise?
The days passed, Bing'er was a boy, very active, and often went to Rui Wang's Mansion and Xuanwang's Mansion to find Xue'er and Xuan'er to play, Yun'er often asked her to bring Miss Su a little needlework and embroidery materials so that she had nothing to do, and then Bing'er brought it over to sell, which could make some money. Wen Juan is grateful for this, although it is her mother's family, the mother and son live here all the year round, and they are somewhat unhappy. No matter how much she earns, she will give it to Eniang, and Mrs. Su will not say anything:
"Does your daughter still charge you for food?"
"No, my daughter doesn't have a place to use money, she just has nothing to do for fun. Or keep it in your hand. ”
"Then the mother will save it for you, and I will give it to you when your husband returns to Beijing and you live by yourself."
The eunuchs, guards, personal soldiers, and palace maids in the palace of King Xuan all joined the prince's business team, and the palace maids made cloth art, the guards did the guards, and the eunuchs played odds. Each performs its own duties and responsibilities. Goods bought from exotic lands have been greatly reduced. All the food tastings of Fujin were handed over to Master Xu and Mama Liu, and most of her energy was focused on clothing design. In addition, Fu Jin gave full play to her musical expertise and composed a lot of beautiful tunes.
Emperor Shunzhi has been dead for more than three years, and the ban on entertainment during the state funeral has been lifted, Fujin set up a performance team of Ruiwangfu, and bought a small theater in the area of Tianqiao, specializing in performing the song and dance, drama and storytelling and cross talk rehearsed by Ruiwangfu. After modifications, it is suitable for the social environment of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no reverse dragon scale, which makes the Jingshi literary and artistic stage very prosperous.
In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that a Mama Li and a palace mama used to be in the troupe, and they were left in the palace and came to the house to participate in a talent show, and Fujin still has an impression. Fujin also entrusted Su Moer to inquire about the character of these two people, and the feedback brought back was not bad, much better than the popularity of Mama Ku and Mama Sa. So Fujin decided to reuse these two people, in addition to singing Kunqu opera, but also singing Jingyun drums and other repertoire. The two of them were overjoyed when they heard it. Because Fu Jin said that singing once will give 10% of the income of the entire performance. They don't care what people say about singing is ninth-rate. Anyway, I'm fifty years old, so which one is first-class? Just make money. Those disciples will definitely not harass old women in their forties.
So they brought three apprentices to form a Jingyun drum group, named "Five Golden Flowers". The talents of Mama Li and Mama Gong were displayed. What is the difference between a single woman and a eunuch? When you are old, you have no one to support you, so you can only save a few more money while you can still move, and you can use it when you are old and can't move.
Yun'er often found time to teach Wuhuahua to sing Peking Opera, Ping Opera, Kunqu Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera and Henan Opera in addition to the Jingyun drums. Yun'er is from the hometown of Kaifeng Henan Opera, which is also called Henan Bangzi. The lyrics and sermons are all in northern dialect, which is very easy to understand. Everyone in the capital can accept it.
Peking Opera is known as a national opera, and its predecessor was Hui Opera. In the 55th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the four major Hui troupes successively entered Beijing to perform, causing a sensation in Beijing. Later, he cooperated with Han artists from Hubei to influence each other, accepted some repertoire, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu Opera and Qin dialect, absorbed some folk tunes, and gradually formed a fairly complete artistic style and performance system, which evolved into Peking Opera.
The Peking Opera brought back by Yun'er is already a very mature and perfect genre. sang a few more famous singing passages to the prince Fujin, and they all said that they were very good, and they were listed as a money-making project by Fujin in the future. Kunqu opera is a more traditional repertoire. The tone is gorgeous and tactful. Many Kunqu opera repertoire celebrates the pure romance, classic fantasy of ancient love stories, and the performance techniques are beautiful, subtle, elegant and elegant. Large families have to invite the troupe to sing Kunqu opera after various festive banquets.
Yun'er likes the graceful and simple Kunqu Opera, the melodious and tactful singing voice and the flowing figure.
Yue Opera only appeared on the stage in the 30th year of Guangxu. In the singing, it absorbs the musical components of Shao Opera and Yuyao Qinghua Wulin tune, the singing tone is simple and euphemistic, the feelings are sincere, and the performance is dignified and quiet or chic and elegant.
In the early days, Huangmei Opera was basically a literary and artistic form of self-singing and self-enjoyment by rural laborers, and later gradually became professional, from the grass stage class to the urban stage. From a small folk drama to a local drama. Huangmei opera's singing tone is euphemistic and fresh, and the performance is delicate and moving.
These dramas were all encountered by Yun'er when she was in a foreign land, and she liked it very much. After knowing how to read music, he let Fujin learn the CDs of various Huangmei operas that Xiaoli bought, and then put them on the stage in Beijing after Fujin's polishing and processing.
At this time, where were the entertainment projects of the Qing Dynasty Huangmei Opera, Yue Opera, and Peking Opera? Fu Jin is really self-taught about music and rhythm. While studying, pay attention to whether there are such talents among the girls in the house. Mama Ku was discovered, Feng Yue'er was also discovered, and a few palace maids with good voices from the palace became members of the "Splendid Song and Dance Troupe".
After several years of exploration and practice, Yun'er's painting has gone further. Her paintings are mainly peonies, but also involve flowers. Every painting is so lifelike and moving. Yun'er not only paints flowers, but also paints people, but the characters in her pen are all goddesses such as Magu, Guanyin, and Flying Fairy, which are solemn, holy and noble, and make people awe at a glance.
Synchronous painting with Yun'er is also Mr.'s freehand landscape, which is majestic and natural; Lord Xuan's galloping horses and tigers have reached the point where people feel that the horses are neighing and roaring. There are also Xue'er's fish, which are ethereal and realistic, and the goldfish on the drawing paper without water are also swimming, and the shrimp whiskers are trembling slightly; Ruier is a lady with fine brushwork, delicate and realistic, and the characters are beautiful and dignified.
Yun'er's other two younger disciples, Min Qi Gege and Hong Bai Shizi, also joined the ranks of painting.
"Beibei, what did you tell E-Niang that you painted?" Yun'er didn't understand what her son was drawing for a while, "Can you tell E-Niang?" ”
Beibei's little face was like crying: "Eniang, this is Beibei's dim sum." ”
"Huh? Is it? Yun'er is very patient with children, and when she saw that her son's painting was not favored and she was about to cry, she hurriedly said, "E-Niang, take a closer look, Beibei's painting is really a snack!" It's beautiful! ”
Bei Bei smiled: "Eniang, Bei Bei painted a torch-shaped snack." ”
"Beibei's dim sum is really beautiful, and it must be delicious to make."
"Tomorrow, Beibei will bake a few pieces for Eniang to taste."
"What? How many pieces of dim sum do you bake? Are you a little bigger? Ready to bake dim sum? ”
Xuan'er said: "Eniang, my brother's baked dim sum is delicious." ”
"Oh my God, a kid like this can bake a snack."
The prince, who is well aware of historical trends, knows that Ao Bai is about to perform on stage, and the disaster of the Great Qing Kingdom is about to begin. More than 200 years later, this period of history is now forged, and no one has the ability to change history, so they can only wait and see what happens. Minimize imminent losses as much as possible before changes occur.
So a large amount of cloth was transported from the residence of Chu Dart Master in Dongzhimen to the canal, and the cloth in the Suzhou house was finally emptied. The people who should have moved into these houses have moved in one after another, and it feels like the house is much more lively than before.
In the winter of the third year of Kangxi, there was a large-scale snow disaster, which not only included the Beijing-Tianjin area, but also included the areas of Zhili and Fengtian. Because the Rui Wangfu had been prepared in the two years before. Because there is such a big merchant as the Queen Mother's Restaurant, the prince already has seven or eight hundred personal soldiers and guards, so he buys food everywhere, no matter what kind of food it is, as long as it can satisfy hunger. Wang Ye also bought 3,000 acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing in the name of Mr., all of which were planted with sweet potatoes, and harvested millions of catties of sweet potatoes in autumn and stored them in the cellar. When a snowstorm occurs, sweet potatoes are boiled in a large pot and distributed to the victims along with rice porridge. A sweet potato and a bowl of porridge, and there are pickle strips in the porridge that Fu Jin instructed the rough maids and mothers-in-law to pickle, otherwise there will be stomach acid if there is no saltiness. In addition to eating, there are refugee clothes and beggar clothes made by the maids and women in the house, as well as herbs to prevent colds.
The current Queen Mother is not hindering the prince at all. also gave the prince a decree, and the disaster relief of the Rui Wangfu should be carried out in a big way and use his own name. So a banner with red cloth and white characters was hung above the porridge shed, "Ruiwangfu Disaster Relief Office", which was the queen mother's decree, not self-boasting. Other royal palaces and state palaces followed suit. Who doesn't want to be famous? This is also a political achievement.
With Yun'er's teleportation ability, the food he bought was placed in a cave not too far from the house. The cave is closed and impermeable to the air. In fact, no matter how far away it is, it can be carried back to the house by Yun'er in the blink of an eye. The medicinal herbs were also prepared, because it was a snow disaster, and most of the sick people were suffering from wind and cold. There are also the medicines that belong to Ling Juan that are kept in the airtight caves, as well as the refugee clothes and beggars clothes made by the girls and grandmothers in the house in the past few years, all of which were used in the process of the snow disaster in a timely manner, and countless refugees and beggars without food and clothing have been rescued. The reputation of the Rui Wangfu is like a bright sun in the sky, and it is loved by people. (To be continued.) )
