In 1906, in the 32nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, on March 27, the Qing court boycotted the Eight Banners Show Girl, and the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with the emperor reached a new height, one is because the current emperor has always held a grudge against the Queen Mother who forced Concubine Zhen to death, and he is not close to the queen, the backyard is empty and childless.

The second is because of the clan, marriage is an important way to connect the relationship between the two clans, that is, the royal family is no exception, and now the emperor's decree directly affects the power of the clan in the court, and the emperor can't climb relatives, can't blow the pillow wind, it's not a big loss.

But no matter what this harem thinks, and no matter what these clans mean, for most people, it doesn't matter to them, and it's just an idle matter, just listen to it.

And those Eight Flag Show girls feel unwilling, or feel lucky, have all closed the coffin, and no one cares. But in general, except for those who are ambitious, most are happy.

Mu Jin's father is Yehenara Natong, a scholar of Tirenge University, to say that she is the happiest one to be removed from the draft, she doesn't care what others think, in the days when her mother kept giving her the harem to make up for the sinister people, she has simply retreated from the harem, and now when she hears the strike, she is simply happy to jump up.

The day after she got the news, she couldn't help but pull Ning Yi out of the house and walked around the streets and alleys.

After an afternoon of shopping, both of them were tired and sat in a teahouse.

Mu Jin poured saliva hard, "I'm about to suffocate to death, I've been locked up at home by my mother to learn the rules for the past two years, and I'm going crazy." ”

Ning Yi smiled and filled her with an empty cup: "Why didn't I see that you have learned the rules for two years, and you are still the same as you, like a splashing monkey." Fortunately, the draft was canceled, otherwise Mrs. Nalan would have to worry about you every day. ”

"Yes, my mother is also relieved, she said that with my brain, I am afraid that I will not survive for three days in the palace. She was afraid that she would change her attention, but this is not, she is showing me people these days, for fear that those good sons of the Eight Banners will be robbed and want to marry me off quickly. Mu Jin took a sip of the snack from the plate and put it in his mouth.

"Ah Jin, you're only thirteen years old!" Ning Yi didn't know how to say this in order to express his incredibleness.

"Compared with entering the palace, it is better to marry. Besides, my mother said that she married me Ama at fifteen, and I am now thirteen, and I first looked at each other, and made a marriage, and I became married after two years when I was fifteen. Mu Jin said calmly, and let Ning Yi listen to it step by step, as if he was not talking about his life's events.

"But... But hasn't the draft been canceled? "Why are you in such a hurry to get married? Ning Yi Ne said.

"It's because it's canceled, that's why it looks good, otherwise what will I do if I don't get married?" Mu Jin looked like a matter of course.

Ning Yi was stunned, does a woman have nothing to do except get married?

A breath rose in her heart: "You can... "It's stuck here.

yes, what can be done? Although the queen mother controlled the government, she always preached that women should not interfere in politics, although the times have changed, but in this Qing court, most of women's lives are still around their husbands and sons.

She knew that in the next few years, it wouldn't take even ten years for the power of women to be seen, but, not now.

"Mu Jin, let's go to school." Ning Yi suddenly looked at her with shiny eyes.

With the acquiescence of the Queen Mother, the establishment of women's schools to teach new schools became popular, more women walked out of the high-rise compound, and women also began to learn literature and science.

Ning Yi hasn't stopped thinking about going to school since she talked to Mu Jin.

Ning Yi looked at the information she asked people to inquire about. Except for those schools run privately by churches, almost all the schools in Beijing are now here.

In the capital, the children of the Eight Banners have always studied in the Eight Banners Higher School of the Clan, only recruiting the nobles of the Eight Banners, Ning Yi, as a person who loves the Xinjueluo family, if he goes to school, this must be the first place, but since its inception, it has only recruited men.

Fortunately, in recent years, there have been more women's schools, and in addition to the ones built by themselves, there are also many foreigners who run them.

Among them, Muzhen, Huiwen, Yuying, and Beiman are known as the four famous churches.

Ning Yi was still researching which school was more suitable for her and could get the fourth brother to agree to her going to class, Chunya ran into the study panting.

Qiu Lu glared at her, "What a big person, still so reckless, in a hurry." ”

Ning Yi put down the stack of papers in his hand and looked up at Chunya: "What's wrong?" ”

Chunya slowed down and gasped, "Gege, something happened, the eldest brother is sick." ”

"Sick?" Ning Yi frowned, "Why is the good guy sick?" Is it serious? ”

Ning Yi didn't think much about it, children are weak, and it is normal for people to be sick, and now there is such an elder brother in the house, everyone is holding it in the palm of his hand, and it should not be too serious.

Chunya approached Ning Yi and lowered her voice, "I heard that it's not an ordinary disease. She paused, "It's poison." ”

When Ning Yi arrived at the courtyard of Fujin, a group of people had already gathered outside, separated from the little brother's house by a beaded curtain.

Ning Yi glanced at the women with different expressions, walked to the bead curtain, and asked Lan Yue, the eldest girl of Fujin who was guarding outside, "Is the little brother okay now?" ”

Lan Yue blessed her body, with obvious worry on her face: "The imperial doctor is treating the little brother, Fu Jin fainted when he learned that the elder brother was poisoned, and now the prince is looking at the little brother in the room." "It is worthy of being the big girl in front of Fu Jin, she is not flustered, and she explained the current situation to Ning Yi clearly in just a few sentences.

Ning Yi nodded and glanced at the five women in the room who were sitting or standing, "Who are they?" ”

Lan Yue replied: "The two side Fujin and the three Gege are worried about the little elder brother, so they came here to wait for news. ”

said so, but Ning Yi also knew that he was afraid that Fu Jin suspected that the little brother's poison was the hand of the woman in the backyard, so he called everyone over.

Deng Jiashi listened to Lan Yue's words, the corners of his mouth unconsciously skimmed, and he turned his head and stepped forward with a worried look: "Yes, now there is such an elder brother in the palace, if there is a good one... Halfway through the words, Deng Jiashi choked up and didn't continue, picking up the handkerchief and wiping his tears.

Lan Xin on the side heard her words, and her face couldn't help but look ugly: "Deng Jia side Fujin, please be cautious, the murderer of the little brother has not been found yet." ”

When Deng Jiashi heard this, his eyes widened and his voice was amplified: "Lan Xin, what do you mean by this, according to your meaning, is it possible to suspect that I am poisoned by Little Brother?" ”

Lan Xin wanted to say something, Lan Yue hurriedly pulled her, now that Fu Jin is not here, they can't cause trouble for Fu Jin.

"Noisy, what are you doing?" A hoarse male voice came from the room.
