Chapter 66: The First Arrival in a Foreign Land (4)
Li Rui got the amnesty decree and chatted with Tian Liang cordially.
Li Rui is a high-level intellectual, who has studied in a medical university for eight years, three of which he has studied abroad, and a doctorate degree, and is now an elite in his hospital. He is the Chief Physician of Western Medicine and Surgery. Don't look at him as a scientific worker, but he is a devout Buddhist disciple, that is, like the three princes, they all belong to the method of Master Ganlin. Therefore, he was very kind to Tian Liang, and he did not have the arrogance that many chief physicians of big hospitals often have, but treated Tian Liang sincerely and enthusiastically from the bottom of his heart, like an old friend who had known him for many years, making Tian Liang at a loss, and answering Li Rui's every question with a red face. Li Rui usually doesn't have time to come out to meet guests, so he took half a day off today.
Li Rui is Lanlan's childhood sweetheart, and he is as filial to Lanlan's parents as he is to his parents, and Lanlan's relatives are naturally his relatives. The eldest sister does not regard Li Rui as a son-in-law, but as her own child.
This is a self-cooked, pull Tian Liang to ask this and that, and some words often pop up in the conversation that make Tian Liang seem to understand or not, making Tian Liang confused and ignorant. But if you don't answer, you won't be polite, and if you answer the wrong joke, you can only pick up some of the most concise words, yes or no.
Mr. Zhong said sincerely: "Prince Chitose came to the cold house, which should have been a banquet to wash the wind and dust, but you are really unfamiliar with this place, and I am afraid of disturbing you." ”
"Sir is polite, the three of us are bothering the house, it is already very unbearable for Ling Fu, don't break the bank. After he changes a few antiques in the future, can the three of us do it? ”
Professor Chung: "We are deeply honored to be able to eat the banquet set up by the Prince Chitose! Everyone laughed.
Sister Han cooks the dishes herself, Zhong Lanlan helps cook, and Yun'er also does it. She was born to do anything. And it's quick and refreshing, the same as framing, cleaning up while drying, clean and neat, the first impression of the eldest sister and Lan Lan is not ordinarily good: this, but the prince is a thousand-year-old side Fujin, although it is a side room, he is also a princess and a noble lady, how can he do housework so well? Master Gan Lin's introduction of the three princes is only an approximation, so the eldest sister and daughter don't know what level of commoner this princess is, and they really like this lady's coolness and vigor. In the imagination of the eldest sister, although the upcoming distinguished guest will not put up a big shelf, he will also be very reserved and very scored. The side princess is also a noble lady.
Where would you have thought that it was such a translucent and refreshing person. It feels very close, very approachable, very cute.
Lan Lan likes Yun'er very much, from her appearance to temperament, it is just right, and she keeps asking her this and that. Lan Lan is engaged in art and is particularly sensitive to beautiful characters and things. Especially for the royal ladies from more than 200 years ago, they are full of curiosity. At the same time, I regret that Yun'er is so beautiful and capable. How can that Mr. Fu be over forty years old, he must already have an original wife, and he still wants to take such a young girl for himself, and let her have children in her teens, which is really pitiful. When Yun'er went to the bathroom, she secretly talked to her mother, and Sister Han warned her daughter: I thought it was okay to say this, but I must not come out. Different social forms and systems, people's ideological concepts are different, we can't use modern people's thoughts to measure the ancients, don't cause confusion to her thoughts, she is a passerby, not here to accept ideological transformation.
Yun'er also likes Lan Lan and likes her warmth and generosity, and the two quickly become friends. Lan Lan: "Should I call you aunt or aunt?" Because you call my mom my eldest sister. ”
Yun'er smiled: "Don't call me any aunt, it's the master who asked my husband to call your mother the eldest sister, so naturally Yun'er has to follow and call the eldest sister, in fact, I'm not as old as you." ”
"In this way, I'll call you Yunyun, you can call me Lanlan, so casual, I'll take you to the street on weekends another day."
Of course, Yun'er was happy.
Lan Lan is also a scholar of literature, and he must know some historical knowledge to paint, coupled with the influence of his mother as a history professor, Lan Lan is full of curiosity about Yun'er, and wants to ask about the details of life in the palace in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, whether it is like in the TV series, but he is afraid of violating other people's taboos.
Yun'er didn't know what Lan Lan was thinking, her attention was on the various facilities in the kitchen, the beautiful Danfeng eyes were about to stand up, watching the eldest sister just twist it, there was a blue fire on the stove, how could it start a fire without a fire fold? There are also those two crooked things, which can not only wring out cold water, but also hot water; This openable box can also be frozen, but it lies horizontally; There's also that chest that paints dishes, and a chest on the wall that bakes hands...... It's weird. Yun'er wanted to scream, but she had to endure it, because such a big surprise would embarrass the prince.
Sister Han seems to have no temper from birth, always smiling at Mimi, with a kind face. She also wanted to ask Yun'er a lot of things. Unlike Lan Lan, the eldest sister is a student of history, and there is a person in front of her who can tell her several secrets of the Qing Palace, but she can't ask, since it is a secret left over from history, why should she let her family leak it casually? If you want to ask, you have to go over it, and you have to think twice about whether you should ask.
"Sister Chen, Lan Lan calls you Yunyun, the eldest sister thinks it's very kind, it's also called Yunyun, okay?"
"Okay! Yun'er also felt very kind. ”
"The eldest sister has something to ask, if it is abrupt, you can not answer."
"Look at you, just ask, Yun'er knows everything."
"That's right, the eldest sister is a student of history, and her understanding of the Qing Dynasty is all knowledge from books, and your clean, neat, and refreshing kitchen seems to be ...... It seems that he often does some housework, so he has doubts about the books he has read before. Side Fujin is the side princess, and the Internet here is very pampered, do you still use housework in the house? Is it to get used to this place specifically for you to be exposed to these? ”
"Not really. In the house, Yun'er can be regarded as pampered, with maids and grandmothers to serve, and there are special people to take care of makeup and dressing. But Yun'er came from a low background, and her father married Wang in Yun'er...... Oh, when Mr. Fu was only a Qipinzhi County, he was also a civilian family. Before getting married, Yun'er often helped her mother with housework when she was at home, and later worked in her uncle's paper shop and dressed up as a boy, so she developed a quick temper. ”
"Oh, is that so? However, the daughter of the county should also be a sister, and it seems that there should be one or two personal girls to serve, your free and easy Mali is really admirable. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Yun'er's personality is very similar to her mother, but she has a quick temper. There are no brothers and sisters in the family, so Yun'er has to come forward for some things. There is a caring sister who grew up together to serve and take care of her, and later she married Yun'er into the palace together, and then married Tian Guard, becoming Tian Liang's daughter-in-law. This sister Yu'er is very good to Yun'er, and Yun'er likes her very much, we are sisters. ”
"I see. This fish girl of yours is Tian Liang's wife, and she is married, does Tian Liang agree? Does he like this girl? Lan Lan asked.
"The words of our master there are a qiē, we must obey, there is no like or dislike. However, the prince of our house and Fu Jin asked the person who was assigned to marry before marrying him, and Sister Yu'er liked Ryoko very much, so I made this master for her. The two of them are doing well, Sister Yu'er is considerate to Ryoko, and Ryoko also loves his daughter-in-law. Sister Yu'er is a top-notch girl in our house, not only is she a peugeot, she has an easy-going temper, a well-behaved temperament, she is very capable, and she is literate, and the prince and Fujin like her very much. ”
"Yunyun, can I ask you another abrupt question?"
"You ask."
"I watched it on the TV series, many of the dowry girls who married into the sisters of big families have become the maids or aunts of this sister's husband, and they are concubines, is this really the case?"
This kind of thing is very common, but Mr. Fu never does such a thing. Fujin has two married girls and two show girls from the palace, both of whom are very beautiful. Nominally, it was the maid who was given to my family by the Queen Mother, but in fact, she was a candidate for Fujin on the side. Because Mr. Fu once rescued ...... There are two generations of father and son in the highest position, and they are not easy to command Mr., and later the show girl married separately. ”
"It's not easy to do this in an environment full of beautiful women!" The eldest sister exclaimed, "There is a film when Emperor Li Yongzheng was Baylor, and he accepted all the show girls in the palace who gave him marriage. I'm sorry, I mean the show girl who was sent to the palace was picked by the emperor? ”
"Yun'er will answer your previous question first. The princes, county kings, and princes of other palaces in our country are also like this, and if they don't accept it, they will despise the imperial power and resist the decree. Besides, the royal family is proud of having many children, which is actually a means to win over ministers. The second question is that the girl sent to the palace will not be picked by the emperor. Because the draft girls have to go through several levels, the previous two should be auditions, and each time there are hundreds of girls to be drafted, the emperor will not come, they are all deacons, eunuchs and teachers who have a very high status in the palace for the primary selection. The rest are only a few dozen or a dozen people. ”
"Are these left behind the best, the most talented, or the most beautiful?"
"Not necessarily the most talented and beautiful. We pay attention to women who are not talented is virtuous, it is difficult to choose those who are too talented, and those who are particularly beautiful may not necessarily be left, but the kind of family situation has to pass, and the appearance is medium, and it looks more generous and kind, and the queen mother values it the most. If you are beautiful and have a big hair, you may be a fox, but of course you can't be too stupid. The girls who entered the palace were not low. ”
"Then, you must have entered the palace to choose a show girl?"
"Yun'er is Han, and girls from Han families are not eligible for the draft, no matter how high their father's official position is. Therefore, the palace maids in the palace are almost all full of people unless there are special circumstances, and the show girls in the three-year election are all girls from the Shangsanqi family, who are noble, and they are the lords who are left with the brand, and they are the nobles and concubines in the future, of course, there are also those who were sent by the queen mother to the palaces as Fujin and side Fujin; The girls who chose were all girls from relatively low backgrounds in the lower five banners, and such girls were all palace maids. The palace maid also belongs to the emperor's woman, who serves the lord in the palace. If you are lucky, you may also be more fortunate than the emperor. Then she may fly on the branches and become a phoenix in the future. If you don't have that opportunity, you can only serve your master in the palace for ten years, and then go home and get married. ”
"That's the case, it is recorded in the history books that Emperor Kangxi's biological mother, Concubine Tong, is Han, how did she enter the palace?"
"Who is Emperor Kangxi?" Yun'er was confused.
"I'm sorry, we forgot that you were from more than two hundred years ago, so you don't know what happened after Emperor Shunzhi. Now that you can travel through time, I might as well tell you a secret. This Kangxi Emperor is Emperor Shunzhi's son Xuan Ye, the third prince. His mother is Concubine Tong, right? ”
Yun'er's heart was beating "thump", she tried her best to suppress her strongly shocked heart, and replied: "Yes, Concubine Tong is Han, she didn't go through the draft, she went directly to the palace to seal the concubine." Although she is not a Manchurian, she is from the Han Army Banner, and her grandfather is the commander of the Han Army Banner, which is equivalent to a governor, that is, she is of high birth, and if she is from a Manchu family, she may have a higher position. ”
"Is there a show girl who enters the palace in every draft?"
"Almost the same, the girls who have been elected have entered the palace, and most of them are for the prince or the prince's son to be a side of the Fujin, and at least there is a position of Fujin."
"What level is Shu Fujin? Which position of concubine in the palace is it equivalent to? ”
"It's not easy to compare. The status of the lowest-ranking concubine in the palace is also higher than that of the girl who enters the palace. Shu Fujin is also called Gege, and this title is not equal to the prince's daughter. If it doesn't sound good, it is a concubine, and it is a position under the side blessing. Each prince can have four side blessings, and Shu Fujin should be a few Yun'er is not very clear. Yun'er's situation is more special, according to Yun'er's background, it is not qualified to be a concubine for the prince, but I met Mr. Fu by accident, Yun'er's father used to be a friend of Mr., in short, it is the fate of the master. ”
"Huh? You're not enough, are you? You're so young and pretty...... "Lan Lan was just short of a sentence, "It's a pity." ”
"Lan Lan, you hand that plate of shrimp and MSG to your mother." The eldest sister hurriedly interrupted, and Lan Lan also hurriedly shut up.
"May I ask the eldest sister, what is MSG used for?"
"It's seasoned, and with MSG, the dish tastes more delicious. We probably have a few more spices here than you have, so bring some with you when you go back. ”
"Thank you."
"So this Tian guard is already married?"
"His daughters are four years old."
"Are you so shy when you have children?" Lan Lan thought it was incredible.
