Chapter 329: Chinese New Year's Eve
Yun Yao learned Yun Shan's craft of making shoes, and before Chinese New Year's Eve, she made more than a dozen pairs of shoes herself, some for Qi Jing, some for Qi Gu and Qi Laoniu, and she herself and her three children, naturally, also made two pairs for Qi Baobox.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Yun Yao took the shoes and clothes made by her and Yun Shan into the palace and sent these things to Qi Bao Box.
Speaking of which, Yun Shan is ruthless and selfish, but this girl is very careful and safe, because of the cold winter and the moon, the soles of the shoes she made for Qi Baobox are hooked with patterns to prevent slipping, according to her statement, it is light to walk on the ice and not slip.
Yun Yao didn't expect this, and after Yun Shan's explanation, she understood that these non-slip shoes are commonly used in the backyards of large families, in order to prevent being spoiled.
This Qi family's backyard is extremely simple, and Yun Yao has never been prepared for any wives and concubines competing for favor, and she really doesn't know much about this matter.
Later, Yun Yao thought that there was already one person in the palace, and there was no personal fighting, so it should be fine.
It's just that Yun Shan scolded Yun Yao, the general meaning is that His Majesty is a piece of fat, I don't know how many people are staring at it, but now that there is a Qi treasure box, His Majesty has no intention of taking a concubine, which makes many big families want to lose the Qi treasure box immediately, so that their daughter can enter the palace.
Just for the sake of these interests, I don't know how many people will take risks to buy the treasure box of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.
Yun Yao was frightened into a cold sweat when she heard Yun Shan's words, regretting that she had taken it lightly earlier, and had not paid attention to this aspect of the matter, fortunately, Qi Baobox could bear it and nothing happened, if something really happened, it would be useless if her regretful intestines were blue.
Therefore, Yun Yao hurriedly made a few pairs of non-slip shoes and sent them over.
When she entered the palace, Qi Baobox was busy arranging the New Year's Eve palace banquet, as soon as she heard that Yun Yao was coming, she hurriedly called someone to invite in, Yun Yao was also tired from walking this way, and as soon as she entered the house, she put down the big burden she was carrying in her arms, sat on the chair and gasped for breath.
When Qi Baobox saw it, he hurriedly said to Aunt Bai: "I remember that we still have some rose paste in the house, you go and bring some warm water to your sister-in-law, and also, bring some fresh fruits from Caigong in the south to your sister-in-law to taste." ”
Aunt Bai agreed to go out, and it didn't take much time to bring warm water mixed with rose paste and a large plate of fresh fruit.
Yun Yao poured a large bowl of water and panted a little.
Qi Baobox handed her a tangerine and asked, "How early and late is this, why did you still enter the palace?" Is there something going on at home? ”
Yun Yao smiled and took the orange and peeled it: "It's nothing, it's just that these **** called my eldest sister to scold her, no, I hurriedly made something and sent it to you." ”
"What?" Qi Baobox was stunned at first: "What eldest sister?" ”
Later, when I thought of Yun Shan coming to Chang'an, I understood: "You said the eldest sister of the Yun family, what's the matter?" Did your sisters quarrel? Do you want me to help you with the judges? ”
Yun Yao smiled: "I was scolded for you, you have to tell me how to compensate me." ”
Seeing Qi Baobox looking at her, Yun Yao said Yun Shan's words, and said line by line: "Earlier, our sisters' relationship was not very good, my second sister and I looked down on the boss to climb the power and vassation, looked down on her to be small, and looked down on her selfishness, I really can't wait to see her for the rest of my life, but now I have to thank her for this matter, no matter what purpose she has to remind me, it is always for your good, just rush to this point, and I will have to thank her in the future." ”
Qi Baobox nodded: "The eldest sister of the Yun family has an idea, and she knows more than us in the backyard, she reminded us very much, but we were negligent before." ”
Aunt Bai also said solemnly: "It's the slave maid who is negligent, the slave maid originally thought that there was only one mother in the harem, and there was nothing to guard against, but I didn't expect that those girls from the big families who wanted to enter the palace with red eyes were very deep, and they were intertwined with each other, and it was not too difficult to make any stumbling blocks." ”
Yun Yao also said: "If it is a few years later, with my sister's means, this palace will definitely be governed by an iron bucket, but now Chang'an has only gone through the war, and my sister has only taken over the harem and does not have much time. ”
Qi Baobox was afraid for a while after hearing this: "It's rare that the eldest sister of the Yun family thinks thoughtfully, and when my sister-in-law leaves for a while, I will bring some things to her, which can be regarded as my gratitude to her." ”
"Then I'll take it for her." Yun Yao smiled and agreed.
Then, she got up and took out those shoes and clothes to show Qi Baobox, and said while asking her to try on shoes: "In the future, you should be careful about your food and clothing, the meals you eat should be checked layer by layer, and the clothes you wear are best asked to be made by the people in your palace, don't buy them for the sake of looking good, what if someone in it is bad?" ”
Afraid that Qi Baobox would not take this matter to heart, Yun Yao told her about the private things in the back house that Yun Shan told her, such as the clothes were soaked in the potion before they were made into clothes, and the furnishings in the house were filled with medicine, and even more importantly, all the pigments of the porcelain in the house were added with harmful objects, and they would get you some food all day long.
Yun Yao told a lot of people, because the family is also busy these days, she can't stay in the palace for a long time, after finishing speaking, she is about to say goodbye and leave, Qi Baobox hurriedly asked someone to take a few pieces of fabric and a pair of bracelets for Yun Yao to take back, which is considered a thank you gift to Yun Shan.
Yun Yao didn't refuse, and left in a hurry with her things.
She walked on the front foot, and Qi Bao Box called the imperial doctor to check all the items used in the palace, and asked the imperial doctor for a lot of food, and asked Aunt Bai to write it down carefully.
The two imperial doctors carefully inspected the Fengming Palace, and did not find out other harmful objects, but found a few sets of large pastel plates and a pair of pastel vases, it is said that pregnant women are not good with this, and it will be harmful to the fetus.
In addition to this, there is also a bit of a peculiar smell on the bed hanging on the bed where Qi Bao Box sleeps, and a doctor smells it, saying that this kind of tent has been soaked in a pigment when it is being weaved, and it is not good for pregnant women.
Aunt Bai, who was frightened, immediately changed the bed net, and no longer dared to hang the brightly colored ones, only using plain colors such as sky blue, light pink and light green.
Then there are some bad ingredients in the fat powder used in the Qi Bao box, and I don't know who was called to mix it in, after all, if it is used for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not slip the tire, fortunately, the Qi Bao box is not the kind of people who like to dress up, and they have not used these things since they were pregnant, so they saved the fetus.
This inspection frightened the Qi Bao Box and the people who served in the palace, and they didn't dare to take it lightly.
When Emperor Jianyuan knew about this, he was also afraid, so he hurriedly asked someone to secretly visit to see which family was so bold and dared to do something in the palace.
It's just that Emperor Jianyuan and Qi Baobox took over the affairs of the palace for too short a time, and they didn't find any clues after checking for a while.
In this way, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Chinese New Year's Eve Palace banquet is divided into men and women, and the palace banquet is located in the Tianji Hall, which is the largest palace in the palace, and is usually used for banquets or the new emperor's accession to the throne, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is also placed here.
Qi Bao Box asked people to separate the Tianji Hall with a screen, the outside room is Emperor Jianyuan with his courtiers feasting, and inside is Qi Bao Box and the ladies of each family to play together.
Early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Jianyuan took the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu to begin the sacrifice to the heavens, praying that next year the wind and rain would be smooth and the people would live and work in peace and contentment.
After the sacrifice, Jianyuan often rewarded the minister with some boiled square meat used in the sacrifice to the sky, mostly mutton, mixed with some beef and pork.
After the meat was divided, the ministers took the meat home and ate it with their families, and after a nap, many ministers brought their families into the palace together.
Yun Yao and Qi Jing had lunch, Yun Yao asked the kitchen to make some snacks and pack them in lotus, she and Qi Jing brought some alone, and the two of them hurriedly entered the palace to meet the emperor in a car.
After entering the palace, Qi Jing went to Zichen Palace, and Yun Yao went to Fengming Palace.
When Yun Yao passed, there were already a few ladies sitting here in Qi Baobox, including the wives of Qian Shangshu and Kong Shangshu, although Yun Yao and these two were not very familiar, they also knew each other, so they hurried over to meet with a smile.
After seeing the ceremony, the three of them sat down to talk, and Mrs. Kong glanced at Yun Yao a few times before laughing: "It's hard for you, you have to sit with us old things at a young age." ”
Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "What are you talking about?" I'm young and ignorant, my face is tender and tight, and I can be used as a mallet when someone gives me a needle, and you should be old, and teach me well, otherwise I will make a joke, and I can't get by with this face. ”
Mrs. Qian laughed out loud when she heard this: "What you said, I originally thought that the champion of the Marquis of Qi was the talent, and his wife must speak elegantly, but I didn't expect you to not only be not elegant, these rural sayings come from your mouth, this is to be listened to, people have to say, where is the champion lady, it is clear where the monkey comes from." ”
Yun Yao didn't care at all, but looked proud: "I was originally born in the countryside, and what I say is naturally a country saying, I can't say those who are gentle, it's awkward." ”
Qi Baobox, who was meeting with several ladies of the Command, turned his head and smiled when he heard this: "Not only her, but I also speak vulgarly, speaking of which, this person was raised by grains and grains, as long as he eats and drinks, he can't do without these vulgar things, no matter how elegant he is, he can't not eat or drink without the thatched house......"
A room full of people laughed when they heard this, others were not good at what to say, but Yun Yao smiled and said: "You are the virtue of being a queen, and you can stand it thanks to Your Majesty." ”
Qi Baobox laughed: "I'm telling the truth, you don't want to listen to it, do you have to pretend all day long?" I can't see that. ”
She pointed to an edict and said, "I like Mrs. Wei's temperament, cool, what to say." ”
Yun Yao looked over, and Qi Baobox clearly referred to the wife of Wei Ying, the official of the Ministry of Officials, who had just been promoted by Emperor Jianyuan. (To be continued.) )
