As the saying goes: After a long absence, it is better to get married, and Fujin, who has been separated from the prince for a year, has a belly to talk to the prince, and naturally wants to talk about the thoughts and worries after parting, and the prince first asks about the things in the house. Are there any major events, troubles, how is the body, and what changes have been made in the house after the prince left, including personnel and human contacts, a year has passed, and the time is not short, and it is really not easy for a woman to support it.

Fu Jin first told the prince that there were no bad things happening in the house, such as fire, theft, and escape, etc., there was no such thing, but there were also unsatisfactory ones. It's just that the general manager is not in good condition, not only is his health not good, but his mind is not very good.

Medical Officer Zhu told Fu Jin through his wife Mama Zheng that the manager had a heart problem for many years, and he had been hiding it for fear of being known, and his avoidance of medical treatment became more and more serious. It's because of poor health that the management of the safety of the house has been relaxed. It was very lenient to the guards and personal soldiers from the Manchu background, and it was a little harsh to the Han people. It may be that he is not in good health and is not in a good mood, he often reprimands his subordinates, and does not ask who is right and who is wrong, and he will be punished for fifty boards each, and those who are wronged will also be punished for a month. The management of the Manchurian pro-soldiers was relaxed, and there were cases where the pro-soldiers missed their posts on duty, and there were patrols who just walked around and it was over. Medical Officer Zhu has always cared about the rights and wrongs of people, and through Mama Zheng and Fu Jin, it shows that the situation is very serious. Many people say that Doctor Zhu is the only Han person who can be looked down on by Nafeng, because Doctor Zhu is his savior. Several times he almost suffocated because of his illness, but Dr. Zhu gave him timely injections and pulled him back from Hades.

Ma Jiaming brought his cousin who was out of five suits into the mansion, and the concubine directly went to Na Feng to tell him that he was derelict in his duties, and Na Feng also said that other people in the mansion also had relatives who came to the mansion to visit the garden. And the concubine said, Whose relatives are like the relatives of the horse tent? If there were no soldiers watching, what might have happened? The prince is not in the house, and your peak is the prince? Na Feng saw that the concubine was in a hurry, and quickly kowtowed to admit his mistake. The concubine said, the horse tent will bring that relative into the house again, and ask you all to roll up and go home, who asked you to recommend Ma Jiaming to the house? He's not as good as you might suggest. But that Feng was frightened, it didn't matter if Ma Jiaming got out of the house or not, his position as the chief manager couldn't be lost no matter what. ”

Fujin also told the prince: "Mr. Ma Jiaming's character is getting worse and worse now, not only secretly going to the Qinglou to sleep in the willows, but also spending all the monthly money in that kind of place. He also abused his woman and child, and his woman had no money to make a dress for the child. If the money is used to live every month, it is still very rich in hand. But as soon as his woman asked him for money, he was beaten by him and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he couldn't go on, so he led the child back to the countryside. The concubine wondered if the beautiful girl who wanted to be Ma Jiaming's concubine was Ma Jiaming who was redeemed from the brothel of the Qinglou, and she didn't get married for more than a month after entering the house, was the girl unwilling to marry him because of Ma Jiaming's bad conduct? The concubines were afraid that the soldiers and guards in the palace would learn badly, and the kind of women in the Qinglou ......"

"Speaking of which, these things are quite serious. Isn't this a dereliction of duty? What else? ”

"And then there was the chief steward, who brought his brother's daughter to his concubines several times, and praised the girl for being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It gives people the feeling that it is recommended to you to do side blessings. Why does the concubine think that the manager has more and more eyes? Seeing that you are not in the house, you will come to exploit the loopholes of the concubines. Do you think that the concubine is a bad idea? The concubine was not jealous, but knew that you definitely didn't have that thought, so she politely refused. ”

"You don't have to say no, just tell him bluntly that this king doesn't have that in mind. This manager, a few years ago, mentioned to this king how his brother has three beautiful daughters, how outstanding and talented, and proposed to make a side fortune for this king, but this king refused at that time, why didn't he give up? ”

"The concubine feels that it is also excusable, how many people don't want to stammer? Although you have no position or power, after all, you have the title of prince, and any girl who marries you will have no worries about food and clothing. Besides, don't you just have a side room for Sister Yun? There are still three vacant seats on the side of Fujin. His niece married you, and he is half of your father-in-law. Wouldn't that be more powerful? ”

"What did he do with me? There is one thing I didn't tell you, that is, when Yun'er was very sick, he gave the king an idea to abandon Yun'er. said a lot of very unkind things, and I don't know if he has slowly changed, or if he has been like this before, covering his clothes and dressing seriously. ”

"Huh? How could he do that? How did you reply to him? ”

"I just told him that this was an act of falling into the ground. In the past few years, he may feel that he has a foundation in the mansion, and his actions are not as righteous as before. Do you remember that Yun'er told you that she accidentally saw Ma Jiaming turn the twenty taels of silver she had to pay into forty taels? That peak remembered Yun'er's hatred, and wanted to use his niece to push Yun'er out. He thought I was a person because his niece was younger than Yun'er. ”

"What is this mind? Too dirty, right? Is it a glorious thing for his brother-in-law to keep false accounts? Is it a credit that can't be touched? ”

"Tell you, don't be angry about these things, you can't do it, I'll deal with it."

"The concubine is looking forward to your coming back to deal with it."

Don't talk about him, how is Xuan'er? Are you still obedient? It is said that seven-year-old and eight-year-old dogs are disgusted, and it is the time to be naughty. ”

"Xuan'er is wilting, not idle or causing trouble, and I don't know what I'm tinkering with every day. He is very smart and obedient, he is very attentive when he reads, and he plays like a play. Mr. Chan is particularly fond of him. Thanks to this child, he studied at his husband's during the day, and came to his concubine early in the evening to be his concubine's companion. ”

"This king has always been worried that Xuan'er will worry you about it. By the way, how is it in the palace? ”

"The emperor and the queen mother are also good, even they are also very worried about you, and often instruct the eunuchs or guards in the palace to come to the palace to inquire when you can come back, and I don't know whether you took a car or a boat, and after walking for so long, there was no news, did you meet a robber or was you sick? also with a beautiful little daughter-in-law; Secondly, Xue'er was taken into the palace by the Queen Mother to read with the third prince Xuanye. At the same time, there was also the grandson of the Hubu Shangshu Sunahai, a male horror named Bing'er. and Xue'er were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, but an hour later than Xue'er, and they were born with pink makeup, and the Queen Mother said that Bing'er and Xue'er are really a golden boy and a girl together. It is the best thing for the third prince to be accompanied by a golden boy and a jade girl, the queen mother and the concubines said that she likes Xue'er too much, not only does she look good, but she is also smart and clever, she speaks crisply and speaks vividly, and she can sing and dance, and she should be raised by her side personally. The emperor also has three adopted daughters and princesses, all of whom are the daughters of the emperor's cousins, including Princess Roujia, the daughter of Prince An. When our Xue'er was full moon, she had the title of princess, and she was the daughter of the emperor's brother, so she was naturally one level closer than other little princesses. lived in Cining Palace, was taken care of by the Queen Mother's personal maid Su Moer, and slept in the same bed with Su Moer. The queen mother's personal maid has never been married for half her life, she likes Xue'er very much and takes good care of her. already recognizes Cher as her goddaughter. The Queen Mother said that the education in the palace must be stricter than in the palace, and she wants to train Xue'er to be the most outstanding and noble princess of the Qing Dynasty. But the concubine had a suspicion. Whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, they all attach importance to boys, and in addition to the emperor's adopted daughters, how many of the royal girls have entered the palace to study? Xue'er was received by the Queen Mother in the palace half a year after you left, and the concubines suspected that the Queen Mother was suspicious of your lack of news and took Xue'er to the palace as a hostage? The queen mother can give up anything for the emperor's dragon chair, not to mention the fact that the emperor intends to make you the prince, she can't help but be angry, you must be cautious, otherwise our Xue'er is still in her hands. ”

"This is possible, the Queen Mother is not an ordinary woman, or the emperor has been in power for several years, and some real power is still in the hands of the Queen Mother. This king has not heard from her for half a year, and it is impossible for her to remember it. Maybe it's really suspicious that the king went out to recruit troops, but it really can't be fake, after all, the king doesn't have that action, she can check it if she wants to, the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people for a long time. Without the real evidence of this king's rebellion, he will definitely not do anything to Xue'er. When this king makes a little achievement, she may be a little less suspicious. ”

Fu Jin also told the prince that Prince Xian had come to the palace and asked if the prince had returned, as if he had left without saying anything. There are not many other princes and Fujin who come to visit the door. In fact, this situation is very normal, if the prince is a powerful person, the emperor will be so favored, and he will be in the market a long time ago.

"Fortunately, I have no job or power, and my life is quiet, which is not a good sign."

"Also, the concubines are in charge of matching several second-class maids in the room, some with guards, some with soldiers, and they are all satisfied; Also, a few delicate paintings in the verandah are old, and the concubines have found craftsmen from the Internal Affairs Office to draw them; The head of the village in Baiyangdian came to complain that the long-haired rabbits you handed over to the tenants have been raised to more than 300, and there are often those who escape, digging holes everywhere, either gnawing the cabbage in the yard or gnawing on the radish of others, and you have to find a way to deal with it when you come back. There are no big things, and there are a lot of miscellaneous little things. ”

"It's really hard for you, support this palace for me. The situation of the peak like you said is really not a trivial matter. Does he want to condone Ma Jiaming, does Ma Jiaming dare to bring relatives who are not transferred into the palace? Ma Jiaming doesn't want silver when he goes to the Qinglou? Where is his monthly silver enough for him to go to that kind of place for recreation? Where does the silver come from? Did you covet the money in the house? Don't worry, I'm going to look into all these things. We are cultivating Buddha for goodness, but we cannot indulge unhealthy tendencies indefinitely. I feel that it was Nafeng who knew that Yun'er told you about Ma Jiaming's false accounting, so he persuaded me to abandon Yun'er. Without Yun'er, he would be able to run rampant in the palace? ”

"You want to say that, it seems like that's true. If that's the case, he's too vindictive, right? I also want you to abandon Yun'er, what does he think. The concubine is very suspicious of the death of his little concubine Aunt Zhen, what kind of violent illness doesn't even have a disease name, and you have to find Lang Zhong to see it, right? Doctor Zhu is his neighbor, why don't you look for the first one who should have looked for Dr. Zhu? Afraid of what? And that peak to that Yehnara? Yuanyuan is also too inconniving. beat and scolded her subordinates, arrogantly as if she had become the supreme master of the house. ”

"You have a point. If you want to say that there is discord between wives and concubines in the family, many families exist, but the one who causes death can't be just so-so, and people's lives are at stake. You're in a hurry for all of this, aren't you? I think you're in a hurry, this can't work, it's too bad for your body, aren't you sleeping well and eating badly? ”

"How can it be so serious? It's good that you're back, and the concubine can take a breath! ”

"You, the burden in the future will not be light. We must fulfill our mission well and live up to the high expectations of Master and Master. ”

"Yes, the concubine will definitely assist you in this mission."

"In the future, there may be such and such troubles on the road ahead, and it can only be blocked by people and soldiers, and the water will cover it, and find a way to overcome it."

"With you, the concubine is not afraid of anything."

"When I was tossing things during the day, I saw that the girl in the mustache changed her hair and changed color, did you say something that you didn't like?"

"Don't think too much about it, there's nothing to do."

"She's thinking about you, too, but maybe a little bit off. Looking at the wooden boxes in the hall and the rows of cardboard boxes in front of you, there are clouds, and if you don't have yours, your stomach will be uneven. Right? ”

Fu Jin smiled: "I can't hide anything from you, this girl said, looking at the belly of Fu Jin who has no concubines, it seems that there is rotten grass in the stomach." ”

"I'll tell you, those wooden boxes contain brocade heads for sachets. Can a piece of cloth fit in a box? It's just that I'm afraid of scattered flowers, and it's easy to manage in boxes. Yun'er learned some cloth skills in a foreign land, and when she came back, she taught more than 200 girls and grandmothers in our house, and she didn't have any materials in her hands. Isn't this going to be the Dragon Boat Festival soon? It's better to be able to drive out a batch of sachets before the festival and sell them, whether you make money or not, show the emperor and the queen mother that we are doing practical things. In the end, these fabrics were also sent to everyone for use, even if they were put in Yun'er's place, they would not be Yun'er's. ”

"The concubine also thinks that such a wooden box will not contain anything valuable, what are you doing when you buy some brocade materials? Don't we have brocade in the Qing Dynasty? ”

"Daqing is brocade, the quality is good, it is all woven from pure silk, and the price is also very expensive, can we cut a large piece of brocade into a small piece? The material we brought back was a factory that was preparing to make fabrics, but it was not managed well and went out of business. But it has already been cut, and it is not easy to deal with it, so it was sold to us. Many of these materials are chemical fiber products, converted, the price is much lower than that of Daqing, although the quality is not as good as our Daqing pure silk weaving, but it is very bright, very heavy, manufacturers put it in the box one by one, it is to make sachet purses. ”
