Chapter 106: Night Talk

Li Jing poked his head out and saw that the celebrant and his entourage, under the escort of Dongchang Tiqi, came to the military department to dismount outside the Gongqiao Gate, and Wei Zhongxian and his party entered the Gongjiao.

Li Jing wondered in his heart, what did Wei Zhongxian do when he came to the military department, could it be to see Qin Liangyu. Recently, I haven't heard of other border generals entering Beijing. Li Jing waited patiently, it didn't take long, and in less than an hour, the group came out and saw Qin Liangyu with the stone pillar generals going out to see each other. Soon Wei Zhongxian and his entourage went away, and everyone went back.

Li Jing waited for a while, detoured to the backyard, climbed over the wall to enter, and soon found the courtyard where Qin Liangyu lived, the house was lit with lights, Li Jing jumped over the wall and came in, and saw Ma Xianglin kneeling straight in the courtyard, Ma Wenting and Ma Wenying, secretly hiding outside the door, looking inside. I guess I wanted to intercede, but I didn't dare.

Li Jing sighed, Aunt Qin looked gentle and demure, she didn't expect her godson to be so strict, Ma Xianglin was such a scholar and general's old lady, it is estimated that she has suffered since she was a child, and she mourned for him for three minutes in her heart.

Ma Xianglin saw Li Jing jumping in, and hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows, Li Jing walked up to him, Ma Xianglin hurriedly said: "Zhengyi, didn't bring me anything, I've been hungry and haven't eaten yet." ”

Li Jing sighed, took out a roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and three large steamed buns wrapped in white gauze from his arms and handed them to him. Ma Xianglin said happily: "I knew you would give me something to eat." Good brother, it's interesting."

"Is Zhengyi here, come in" Qin Liangyu's voice came from the house.

"Wen Ting, Wen Ying, you two are guarding in the courtyard, and no idlers are allowed to approach."

Li Jing pushed open the door, saw Qin Liangyu, looked at a painting on the wall, Li Jing fixed his eyes and saw that it was a hanging banner, which was written in the font of "Zhi Gan Ge Wei Sheji", which was written in the thin and sharp font, and there was no sense of beauty, nor much profound attainment, and it was written by a person with a very good character at first glance. Li Jing looked at the inscription, and it was written Qin Kui, which turned out to be written to her by Qin Liangyu's father.

"Aunt Qin, let Brother Lin get up"

"No, let him have a long memory, the disaster comes from the mouth, isn't it enough for the Ma family to suffer?"

"Aunt Qin, Brother Lin hasn't started a family yet, in this cold day, your old man is not afraid that he will be cold, and he will not have a grandson to hold in the future. You should always raise your noble hand and let him get up."

With a snort, Qin Liangyu, who had a tense face, amused, Qin Liangyu grabbed Li Jing's ears and scolded with a smile: "Your mother is such a gentle and demure lady, how did she give birth to a skin monkey like you, and I don't know who your child is with." “

"In front of my mother, I'm good, but I don't dare to make her old man angry," Li Jing said with a smile.

"Then mess around with your Aunt Qin, see if Aunt Qin is good at talking, hmph, get in" Saying that, Qin Liangyu shouted outside the door.

Ma Xianglin hurriedly put the uneaten roast chicken in his arms, wiped his mouth, and walked in and stood aside honestly. Li Jing remembered that it was recorded in the history books that after Qin Liangyu married Ma Qiancheng, she tamed her husband into obedience, and whether it was official or private, she would only do it after discussing it with her wife. It seems that Ma Xianglin is the same, honest and honest who was cleaned up by his mother. The atmosphere did not dare to breathe. It's a pity that he still doesn't know why the old lady is angry.

"God, do you interpret that ballad, do you mean that Gonggong Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng are going to collude to cause trouble in the world?"

"Collusion is possible, and it depends on which position you stand on."

"Who is Mrs. Fengsheng, and why did Grandpa Wei collude with her," Ma Xianglin asked puzzled.

"Mrs. Fengsheng is the nurse of the emperor today, Hak," Qin Liangyu explained

"Does the wet nurse have such a big influence" Ma Xianglin was very confused, obviously he was breastfed and didn't know much about the nurse.

"Don't look at me, I don't have a wet nurse, I grew up eating my mother's milk." Li Jing said depressedly.

"Just by breastfeeding the emperor, you can be powerful, and besides, the emperor is going to get married, so I won't eat her milk for a long time."

"Zhengyi, I know that your Li family has its own intelligence network, how much do you know about Gonggong Wei and the Hakka family, can you tell Aunt Qin." Qin Liangyu said.

"Today, Gonggong Wei came to see you Shizhu generals, what did you talk about?" asked Li Jing with burning eyes. This is a big problem, if Li Jing's sister enters the palace, his identity is a relative, since ancient times, eunuchs, relatives, civil officials, honorable generals, and clans are a five-pointed star, which is simply the five elements of mutual restraint, colluding with each other and hitting each other. Aunt Qin's attitude towards the eunuchs is still clear.

Qin Liangyu looked at his son, looked at Li Jing, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His own son is not material for politics.

"Today, Gonggong Wei came to express his condolences to the Shizhu Army on behalf of the emperor, accompanied by the director of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and Xu Xianchun of the Thousand Households of Jinyiwei. I stayed for about half an hour in total, first I was ready to receive the order, I was busy for a while, and then Wei Gonggong announced the decree and issued a reward, and finally Wei Gonggong gave a few words of encouragement. Didn't talk to me alone. ”

"Aunt Qin, does Grandpa Wei have any intention of wooing you?" Li Jing asked calmly.

"I can't see it, but I do have some enthusiasm for the Shizhu generals," Qin Liangyu said calmly.

"I understand, you are a guest army, and you are not in line with any forces in the DPRK and China, so you can rest assured. He came to see the situation for the emperor, Aunt Qin, what do you think of Donglin and the eunuchs" Li Jing asked cautiously.

"Your Aunt Qin wants to be a loyal minister," Qin Liangyu said

Li Jing nodded, indicating that he understood.

Ma Xianglin looked at his mother suspiciously, and then looked at Li Jing who didn't know what the two were fighting.

"I do have information on Grandpa Wei and the Hakka clan in my hands, and I have something to say."

Qin Liangyu nodded and expressed his understanding, after all, this is top secret, involving too many courtiers and interested parties, Li Jing can reveal some of it, it is already based on his relationship with his mother.

"This nurse is not ordinary," Li Jing's opening remarks are very special, "A sage once said that men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men." ”

"Where has a sage said such a thing, how come I have never heard of it, it is clearly made up by you, although the words are vulgar, but they are very profound." Qin Liangyu said.

"There is a ceremonial room under the celebrant who is responsible for selecting the nipples, and there is a tits house under the Jinyi Guard who is responsible for managing the selected nipples. According to the Ming system, every spring, summer, autumn and winter, 40 milk mouths are selected every quarter, and they are required to be over 15 years old, under 20 years old, and three months after giving birth to the third child. Of these forty people, it is required that there be half male and half female. Living in the milk house, it can be used by the palace at any time, which is called sitting on the milk mouth. In addition, 80 additional spare nipples are selected every quarter, and they live at home, and if the milk is not enough in the season, they will be selected from here. It's called a nipple. ”

Ma Xianglin's eyes widened in surprise, this royal family is really unusual, the prince and princess eat a mouthful of milk, and they actually use so many people to serve.

"And the nipple is generally only selected in the two counties under the capital, Wanping and Daxing. People from other regions are basically not taken into account. The prince and princess seem to be unattainable, but in fact, there are only three kinds of people they can come into contact with, eunuchs, palace maids, and nurses. These three kinds of people are all from the bottom of the market, the growth process of children is the most important, who to learn from, Meng's mother three moves is this reason" Speaking of this, Li Jing said with emotion, "In fact, not only the prince, but also the children of large families." These people passed on to these children the reality of the bottom society, short-sightedness, narrow-mindedness, greed and vulgarity, and climbing high and stepping on low, so most of the royal education since ancient times has failed. If you don't educate him well when his character is formed, it will be difficult for the teacher to change his temperament. ”

"The Hakka family, it seems to be called Kebaba, I heard that she is from Dingxing County, and she was elected to the court at the age of eighteen when she just gave birth to a child, it is said that the celebrant will not agree, she must not conform to the ancestral system" Qin Liangyu said suspiciously, obviously she is also very concerned about the movements of the imperial court, and she also has some understanding of the Hakka family.

"It's really special for her to be able to enter the palace, and this thing is very interesting," Li Jing said meaningfully.
