Chapter 187: Two or Three Things Before Birth
Time flies quickly, and before I know it, it will be the twenty-second year of Kangxi.
Because it is not yet the first month, the festive atmosphere of Xiangxuehai during the New Year is still strong. At this time, it was overcast outside, and there were tiny snowflakes floating in the sky.
Shuyun has been pregnant for more than nine months, and her body is very bulky. Movement has also become sluggish, especially in such a cold and snowy weather, the roads are slippery and not suitable for travel. In addition, Kangxi and the Queen Mother also returned to the palace. During the Chinese New Year, the kindergarten was closed, and the buns were also sent into the palace by the Queen Mother yesterday. Now there is silence inside and outside the courtyard, leaving Shuyun alone in the room with nothing to do.
"Ruxue, you go and call Deyan to me." Shuyun looked at the falling snow outside the window for a while, but she still couldn't help but want to find something to do.
After a while, Ruxue led a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a calm face to come in.
"The folk girl greets the mother." The little girl bowed properly. After taking Shuyun to call, she took two steps closer, bowed down with a smile, and said, "Deyan meets the teacher." ”
"You kid, you're naughty." Shuyun said as she took the little girl's hand and rubbed it. "It's cold outside, come over and warm up." Shuyun's affection for this disciple is beyond words.
"It's not cold, is there something wrong with the teacher calling Sister Ruxue to call the disciple?" Deyan asked with wide eyes.
"It's not a big deal, so let's not talk about it yet. It's your blackboard newspaper, it is said that it has been doing well recently, and I am also heavy now, and I have not bothered to ask, while there is nothing to do now, you can tell me well. ”
The little girl was obviously very familiar with this matter, and opened her mouth without thinking: "Back to the teacher's words." The blackboard reported the teacher's explanation, and the content was originally updated once a week. However, recently, more and more students have been slow to respond to updates. It's not enjoyable for everyone to watch. The student and Senior He were so noisy that they didn't dare to disturb the teacher at this time. I discussed it with Mr. Du. Other sections remain unchanged for the time being. Only the practical and technological parts that everyone is most interested in have been changed. Facts are now basically updated every day. Technology is updated every three days, and a daily life and farming tip is added. After the improvement, everyone generally responded well. ”
Shuyun has been listening carefully, after Deyan finished speaking. Shuyun nodded with a smile and said, "Good job." But next time you have something to do, you can come to me directly, don't worry. In this way, this blackboard newspaper is scheduled to be updated every three days. The practical part is still updated every day, and as for the one tip you did every day, it's not bad, so I'll keep it. But be careful, don't write something that is taboo in the court. ”
"Teacher, don't worry. Students understand. It's just that now many students hope that the content of our blackboard newspaper can be printed on paper, just like the imperial court's newspaper, so that it is not only easy to read, but also to save their favorite internal news. ”
Hearing this, Shuyun was stunned for a moment. Cai said: "The idea is good, but the rules that should be followed still have to be followed." This matter is put aside for the time being, and you should not do it in private, and there is no hurry in everything. Shuyun didn't expect that the students' minds had improved so much. This coincides with my original thoughts. It's just not time yet. Shuyun could only refuse with some regret.
The little girl was very clever, and obviously understood what Shuyun meant. Nodding his head, he said, "Teacher, don't worry, students can save it." ”
"Lead the classmates well, yes to you. The teacher is relieved. In addition, there are no older female students in the school, preferably with a talent for painting. Do you like to dress up? ”
Ding Deyan thought for a moment and said, "There are a few that are more in line with the teacher's requirements. ”
"Hmm. Then go and call them to me. In addition, let Chencheng find a few older male classmates to be smart. Able to endure hardships, sociable, and preferably able to do a little effort. Go, go, go back. ”
After a while, Deyan brought the person in. Shuyun asked Deyan and Qincheng to stay with her, and let Ruxue take the rest to the side room to wait. Then start the interviews one by one. Two men and two women were selected.
The boys are called: Xu Qinhai, Luo Qindong. Both are 18 years old this year.
The girls are called: Xiaofan, Xiaoqi. He is 16 years old. They all look clear and delicate, and they look extremely stable, generous, and there is no shortage of capable types. They originally wanted pan-German characters, but the two girls came from a good background, and their families had already given them names. Later, the family suffered a disaster, and when he fled here, he was also old, and he knew what his name was, so there was no need to change it. Therefore, it is still called the original name.
Shuyun encouraged Ding Deyan and He Qincheng, as well as the few people who were not selected, and sent them away.
Now only Shuyun, Ruxue, and the two men and two women who were chosen by Shuyun.
"Xiaofan, Xiaoqi, from today onwards, the two of you will stay with me. Qinhai, you will follow Mr. Chen Ce for a period of time in the future, Qindong, you will follow Mr. Tom. Ruxue, you send the two of them over. In addition, arrange a place for Xiaofan and Xiaoqi. ”
Shuyun didn't explain what she wanted them to do, and several children were very confused, but they all obeyed the rules and didn't ask, and honestly followed Shuyun's instructions.
Next, Shuyun asked Qian Afu to go to the city and invited a jewelry master and a carver. Then give Xiaofan and Xiaoqi to them to learn some knowledge about jewelry and jade, such as identification and design.
How the two boys should be trained, Shuyun has already explained to Chen Ce and Tom.
After finishing these things, Shuyun was idle again.
Just then, the gift that Captain Martin had asked someone to bring arrived. Some of the Indian muslin and linen are now in good demand.
The muslin cloth is made of Indian long-staple cotton, which is soft and delicate. Ideal for making clothes and diapers for small babies.
Although she has prepared a lot for her soon-to-be-born child, no matter how much she gives her child, she always wants to give her child the best of all. So while it's not yet alive, it's just the right time to hurry up work. Shuyun took Ruxue, Mama He, and the two palace maids in charge of needlework to get busy.
In fact, it is everyone who does it, Shuyun just moves her mouth, says the request, and sometimes doesn't even bother to say the request, just watches from the side. It's not that Shuyun doesn't want to do it for the child by herself, it's just that Shuyun's skills really can't be used, so she has the self-knowledge not to lose that person.
And that linen, although it looks inconspicuous, but it is also a good thing, this fabric is breathable and cool to wear. It is perfect for making summer clothes for buns.
If you want to talk about buns, they are all fat children. He loves to run and move. Normally, it's fine, but when it comes to summer, I suffer. No matter how Shuyun gives it, it is always sweating. The inner side of the thigh is always red and swollen. The prickly heat on the body is the same, Shuyun bathed them with space water at night, smeared with medicine, and after it was eliminated, they went crazy the next day and got up again at night. For this reason, Shuyun has no less headaches. Well, now, with this linen, it can be relieved a little.
The linen sent by Martin was specially made for the Indian elite, not an ordinary breed for the common people. So even if the royal brother like the buns wears it, it won't lose his share.
I also make a few clothes to wear by myself, especially the clothes to be worn during the confinement period and the pajamas to wear in the summer. It is suitable for both muslin and linen.
All kinds of clothes of different sizes were sewn one by one under the skillful hands of several women, and when one was done, Shuyun asked people to take it and wash it, dry it, and put it away. Small babies also need to rub it vigorously several times to make it softer.
was busy working, Kangxi came.
"The slave and maid greet the emperor." Ruxue and the others saw that it was Kangxi who came in, so they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and got up to salute.
"Get up."
"Go down first." Shuyun waved her hand and sent the palace maid away.
"What is this doing?" Kangxi picked up a linen pajamas that hadn't been made yet and asked.
"Make clothes." I really asked knowingly.
"What kind of fabric is this, it's a little hemp, but it's more delicate than linen, so strange."
"It's flax, India, oh it's from Tianzhu. It's the coolest thing to wear in the summer. By the way, what about dragon eggs? Didn't you come back with you? ”
"Oh, the emperor can't bear them, so she has to keep them for two more days. I was afraid that they would come back and make trouble with you, so I agreed. ”
What Kangxi said seems to be very natural, and there are no flaws. But they must have been together for so long, who doesn't know who they are. In Lao Kang's flickering eyes, Shuyun knew that he was not telling the truth.
"Really? They didn't clamore to come back. Shuyun looked at Kangxi and smiled meaningfully.
Kangxi was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Shuyun, so he told the truth: "Isn't it that with them by the side of Huang Eniang, Tong Jia's family will not always bother Huang Eniang." ”
I didn't expect the answer to be like this, Shuyun was speechless.
From this point of view, the role of buns is comparable to a lightning rod! As the mother who gave birth to them, Shuyun should have been a little proud. But looking at the broken popularity of the buns, it is really a bit too much! Shuyun was embarrassed to be smug.
"What, why are you here at this time? There should be a lot of people in the palace who are busy, right? Sookyun decided to change the subject.
"Seeing that it's only been a few days before you give birth, I can't rest assured, so I want to come and accompany you. As for the palace, there are a lot of things now, but they are all trivial matters during the New Year, and they are not a big deal, and I have arranged them all. ”
Lao Kang, you are so troublesome. It seems that the desire to have a child in the space has once again been shattered. Shuyun was depressed to death, but on the surface, she had to please Lao Kang with a touched face. Then he glanced at the clothes that Lao Kang had been holding in his hand, and Shuyun said again: "Oh, by the way, I also made you a few linen clothes, you are not resistant to heat, it is best to wear this in summer, especially when sleeping." There are also some cloths that are prepared for the emperor's mother, and you want to bring them back when you go back to the palace. ”
Lao Kang is really happy now!
