Mama Jin is holding a cup of blood bird's nest, the weather has become colder and colder, the woman's body is sloppy, taking advantage of the autumn and winter seasons should be well replenished, the house is burned with the earth dragon, Bing'er and Shuang'er are laughing and funny with Angel on the side, if it is like this all the time, it will not feel cold.

Mama Jin presented the blood swallow, "Master, this is the bird's nest rewarded by the emperor, which has just been paid tribute from Nanyang, and only a few lords and favored concubines have it, and the slave looks good, so I will come to you to make up for it." ”

Angel glanced at the red tonic, and the moment she provoked it, she could still see the substance of cotton silk, and she knew that this was a good thing, "Nanyang is rich in blood bird's nest and bird's nest, this year's harvest doesn't seem to be very good, Nanyang has also been affected, the number of blood bird's nests has decreased a lot, how many cups did your majesty reward this concubine?" ”

"The emperor rewarded the master with twelve lamps, the queen's mother twenty-four lamps, the concubine Niangniang's twenty lamps, Hui Fangyi's eighteen lamps, Rong Guifei's sixteen lamps, Ran Zhaoyi's fourteen lamps, the same as you, is also twelve lamps, Kang Shunyi's there are ten, and Mu Jieyu only has eight." Mama Jin talked about it, and when she talked about Ran Zhaoyi, she seemed to be a little worried for some reason.

"Although there are not a lot of blood bird's nests offered, there should be more than that, there should be many favored concubines in the palace, the emperor is a lord who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, such as the jade beauties and Xicai people in our Shaohua Palace." If the emperor wants to use people, he will not be strong with these substances, and this kind of bird's nest is of course indispensable.

"Niangniang is right, the emperor rewarded each of them with four lamps, Ning Guiren and Lan Guiren also rewarded each with four, and if they can remember it in the other side halls, they will also be rewarded." As if she remembered something, Mama Jin smiled mysteriously, "Little master, some time ago, the slave maid heard that Yumei was looking for a little eunuch and a vegetable household. ”

Angel was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and glanced at Mama Jin unexpectedly, the gossip gene in her heart was burning, "Caihu?" Opposite? ”

There should be a difference between a vegetable household and a pair of foods. The food can be between eunuchs, palace maids, or between people of the same sex, and most of them are temporary, while the palace maids and eunuchs who can be called 'vegetable households' mostly live together, like husband and wife, and have quite stable dìng.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang hated this kind of behavior between eunuchs and palace maids and strictly banned it, and punished the eunuchs who married wives and started a family with very cruel skinning. However, since Yongle, the status of eunuchs has risen, and this ban has disappeared. Shi Zai: 'The palace people have no children, and they each choose the inner supervisor as their couple, which is called a vegetable household. Their possessions are connected like a family, and they love each other like husband and wife. Even if there are concubines below, there are also quite a few, although the Son of Heaven is not forbidden, and his eunuchs are not suspicious. ’

Roughly similar historical sources can also be found in the wild history. According to the "Wanli Ye Ed.", at first, because the eunuch on duty had more contact with the palace maid, he gradually developed feelings. Based on this, eunuchs often took the initiative to purchase clothing, food, jewelry and daily necessities for the palace maids to express their admiration. If the palace maid falls in love with this eunuch, she can form a partner and be called a vegetable household. Caihu was openly allowed in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and even the emperor and empress would sometimes ask the eunuchs, 'Who is Rucaihu?' The eunuch only answered truthfully.

There are records of eunuchs marrying wives and taking wives in all dynasties, and it can be said that there are endless books in history. Of course, a eunuch marrying a wife does not mean that he can have a normal sex life, but the eunuch has a man's sexual consciousness, and of course he has corresponding sexual requirements.

Moreover, eunuchs do not admit that they are abnormal men, and they do not want to prove that they have the true colors of men all the time, so that people ignore that they have been punished by the palace, and marrying a wife has become their greatest comfort.

Angel put down the bird's nest in her hand, "When you say that, I think of a very important thing, Shuang'er, go and He Jiu call me in." ”

"No!" After hearing this, Shuang'er ran out quickly, but what she thought in her mind was that He Jiu was also a eunuch, and the little master wouldn't also point her a vegetable household, right!?

"Greetings to the little master!" He Jiu heard that Angel had something to look for him, so he immediately put down the work in his hand, hurriedly ran here, and gave the master a thousand children.

Angel put down the teacup, dragged the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the cherry mouth, "It's almost turned upside down outside these days, presumably He Jiu should also have heard about it, how many vegetable households there are in the eunuchs, and how many palace maids have to eat, this concubine doesn't care, and I don't want to care." It's just, He Jiu, if this concubine has a good memory, you should be almost thirty years old this year, right? ”

After hearing this, He Jiu hurriedly knelt down, "Little Lord Rongyu, the slave is already twenty-eight years old this year, and it stands to reason that he can be released from the palace." But the slave has no relatives and no reason, his hometown was washed away by the flood, and when he left the palace, he didn't say whether there was a place to stay, and even three meals a day were not necessarily food and clothing, and if he wanted to go out to work, he would rely on the body of a slave, and most of them would be looked down upon. The slave knows that he is a wasted person, and he will even boil his head in the palace, and he can't even think about it. After following the slave and following the little master, every important day in the courtyard, the reward of the long live lord, the minions also took the light, why bother to find a pair of food, the little master must not listen to the slander of the villain! ”

"That's it! Come on! Angel waved her hand a little impatiently, "This is not what this concubine wants to tell you, if you really want to find a right food, this concubine can also help you see a suitable palace maid." It's just that since ancient times, you have been standing in your thirties, and you are not young at the age of twenty-eight, and you can take care of each other in **. This concubine's father is kind-hearted, and you should know that he opened Jiren Hall, there are many children who are still young and ignorant of things, and in a few days it will be your period with Mama Jin, why don't you go and see it together? ”

"Slave thanks to the master's grace!" He thought that some villain was suing in front of the master, and he was worried for a while, but he didn't expect the master to give her a great grace from him.

A eunuch's life may not be a problem of money, but the fear that no one will fall after death, maybe a eunuch will accept a lot of apprentices, but the apprentices are not to prevent the elderly, and they will still be miserable in their old age, if there is a child raised since childhood, it will be very different.

"Little master......" When Mama Jin heard her name, she knelt down in a hurry, and she wanted to stop talking, which made people very worried.

Angel waved her hand, "Mama don't worry, this concubine is not trying to drive you away, Mama is almost forty years old this year, and this concubine is also very happy to provide for Mama." But what will Mama do after leaving the palace, is it difficult to wait for dark and dawn, watch that it is difficult to find a person in the palace, and then say a few words to Mama and leave in a hurry? Although Mama's age is old, it is still possible to last for ten or twenty years, and if she holds a child born in the concubine room to her knees in the future, she can be regarded as a grandchild in her old age. ”

Angel knew that this was serious, but Mama Jin's family situation was special, some relatives in her family hoped that she would die early, and then inherit her property, although Mama Jin was sad, but she had no choice but to give all her property to her cousins and nieces since she was a child, and she had no father or mother, and no relatives and sisters, so she could only give all her property to her cousins and nieces, Angel couldn't see the faces of those people, so she came up with such a solution.

Mama Jin thought about some of her own situation, and shook her head helplessly, this method is not suitable for a bad thing, at least in your old age, there are still people to rely on you, and respectfully kowtowed to Angel, "Slave and maid, some master grace!" ”

Angel raised her hand and beckoned Bing'er, "Send a message to the old man, ask him to prepare, and take Mama Jin and He Jiu to Jirentang to see the situation two days later." ”

"No!" Bing'er made a small salute, such a thing can only be done by her, if it is Shuang'er, I am afraid that the world will know.

An Ruozhi in Shou'an Hall is discussing this matter with the old lady, An Ruozhi doesn't want to interfere in his daughter's affairs, this time it's just a eunuch's godson, there are many children in Jirentang, although he is not bad at settling down with a mouthful of food, but it is also a good thing to have someone to adopt, but He Jiu's adoption is a little unbearable, if it takes a long time, there is still no big problem for the An family to handle it well.

"Mother, look at this matter, the second girl ......" An Ruozhi didn't know how to tell his mother, after all, the adopted son of a eunuch, if he was a businessman, it wouldn't hurt, if he entered the official career, it would be a little unpleasant to say.

The old lady is a person who has suffered hardships, and the person who can survive in Ye's hands, if she only has the blessing of the old lady and has no brains, she is afraid that it will not work" The matter of the second girl, we will follow her, anyway, when He Jiu came to see the child, it was not blatant, there was also a Mama Jin by his side, so we said that Mama Jin adopted a child. In the future, if you get a household registration, He Jiu wants to hang the name of our Jirentang, or whether it is to pick it up on the side of the road, we don't know. The only one who came to Jirentang to adopt a child was Mama Jin from beginning to end. ”

The old fox is the old fox, the old lady said it so clearly, of course he knows what to do, "It's better to let them come during the day, if you come at night, don't say anything about the time of the palace ban, it's impossible to be sneaky without doubt." ”

The old lady glanced at the gray weather outside, and shook her head helplessly, "Qingfeng, although the child is not in tune, but it is still filial, he has played a lot of good skins outside, you pick some leprosy skins, fox skins to send to her, the things in the palace are limited, make fox furs or cloaks for children, and after a while it will be the New Year, but the use of hands is shortened." ”
