Chapter 111: Letters
Chapter 111 Letter
said that it was to eat food, but in July and October, a few big girls selected a batch of vegetables from Zhiyun's magical botanical garden and renovated a table of vegetarian food.
It's all home-cooked, very home-cooked, a scrambled egg with tomatoes, a hot and sour Chinese cabbage, a fried white fungus with mushrooms, and a plate of tofu with scallion oil...... There was also a pot of corn cream soup.
Zhiyun likes to eat meat, it is said that with the skills of the cooks, it is not difficult to make vegetarian food taste meaty, but Zhiyun's mouth is too picky, even if they are too similar, when it comes to the mouth of their own master, they can pick out a lot of no, so it is better to serve it in the original way, although it is a little vegetarian, but in the end it can block the long mouth of the lord.
After a meal, Zhiyun wiped the corners of her lower lip, and she was five points satisfied, Daiyu was extremely happy to eat, and her mouth was full of praise, and even the little depression that Jia Baoyu brought in her chest not long ago dissipated a lot.
Eat and drink enough, while it was not dark, so that someone sent Jia Lan back, the girls helped Daiyu to the lake to hang out, by the way to eat, Zhiyun was quietly sitting in the brightly lit small study, turning out the letters sent from the capital in the last month, the more important, like the children, brothers and sisters-in-law, and the letters from the students, naturally have already been read, it is impossible to delay until now, the rest of these are actually sent from public channels, then they can be read or not.
Not much, after all, she is now the queen, and she is qualified to write to her, and there are not a few in the entire Qing Dynasty, but let's talk about three letters, Zhiyun flipped through it casually, one is the third lady of the Ilgen Jueluo family, when Zhiyun was still Prince Yong Fujin, the relationship between this lady and her was acceptable, not friends, but still close.
Zhiyun's impression of her is good, she is a typical young lady from Manchuria, she looks average, but she has a good temperament, she smiles when she opens her mouth, and she can dabble in horseback riding, she has nothing important in her letter, only saying that her five girls have reported that she is over the age of Yunyun, and she wants Zhiyun to find a good family, because of the national funeral, of course it is impossible for her to say it explicitly in her letter, only vaguely hinting at the meaning, the five girls of the Ilgen Jueluo family seem to be eighteen years old this year, and it is indeed time to be in a hurry.
Zhiyun quickly went through the various families in her mind, picked out a few young talents who were right with their families and had nothing to do with them, and wrote a reply letter casually, asking the third lady to pick it up slowly. When the selection is done, the two families have discussed it properly, if both parties are interested, just talk to her, and the next letter will be married, and it will only be a waste of time.
At this time, as long as it is not in the way of the overall situation, Zhiyun is actually quite willing to help.
There are many people in the capital who think that the original Prince Yong Fujin, the current queen mother is mean and small, and she is very indifferent, easy not to get close to people, it is really difficult to get along, she is always trembling when she sees her, and she can't even say a word, that is not sure of her temper, she is indeed indifferent, and she is indeed not very close to people, but that is the habit that most mages have, as long as you don't let her hate it, and don't let her be embarrassed, those small things that she can do with her hands, she will never hesitate to reach out to help.
After dealing with this letter, I turned out another one, but this one Zhiyun glanced at it, and I just didn't see it, it was the old lady of the Nala family who came, and the Nala family said that they were in-laws with their own family, and their family Xingde is now a quiet and gentle forehead, so Zhiyun is respectful to the old lady on weekdays, no wonder she brought this letter to herself.
In fact, since Ouyang ascended the throne, he said that he would keep filial piety for his imperial father for three years, and the draft was canceled, which made many people dissatisfied.
It is said that the emperor keeps filial piety, twenty-seven days can be, there is no reason to keep three years, from the beginning of hearing the news of three years of filial piety, there are many books in the imperial history that say that the world is important or something, asking the long live lord to accept the harem, to love the new Jueluo family to disperse, but Ouyang ignored it, his cold-faced king deliberately put on a cold face, even if it is the imperial history, it is a little unbearable, these words for a few days, seeing that the long live lord ignored it, they will have no way.
But where are the ministers at the bottom willing, the harem has always been connected to the court, and now Ouyang's harem is very empty, and the concubines are only three or two kittens, although there are already five elder brothers, and three are concubines, and the palace is too early, but this long-lived lord is in the prime of life, and his health is good, and he is almost as good as he is about thirty years old, who knows how many years he can live? In the future, there is no way to be sure, and it is not yet known whether this Tai can sit firmly in the position.
Manchurian nobles, all major families can focus on taking out the carefully cultivated girls, just waiting to fill the harem, if there is a regeneration of the emperor who is valued by the long-lived lord, the family may be able to follow the scenery for two or three generations.
However, Ouyang refused to draft, and after three years, the good girls in every family don't know how many of them are going to be over the age, besides, if it is delayed for another three years, they will be too adult, and in the future, they will have a little brother, and they will suffer even more if they compete with him, where can they afford to wait?
Since the road on the emperor's side can't go through, then work hard from the queen, I believe that the queen should 'understand the righteousness', knowing that the sole pet has always been unpleasant, even if she pretends to be virtuous, she should persuade the long-lived lord to accept the harem as soon as possible?
The people below communicated with each other, and after grinding for a long time, they finally chose to have a relatively high status, and the old lady of the Nala family who was related to the royal family came to be this lobbyist.
Zhiyun threw the letter into the basin and destroyed the corpse, so he didn't see it, and didn't take it to heart at all, indeed, the fate of a woman who wanted to get the sole favor in the Qing Dynasty was not good, but first, it was that the emperor at that time had no ability, if he could really firmly grasp the government and the opposition, he must be pampered whoever he wanted, how could those ministers have the courage to care?
Second, it is also the pampered women who are too weak and incompetent, they can only rely on the emperor's favor to survive in the harem, and they simply have no ability to face the open guns and arrows in the harem that will never be cut off alone, so they will end up with a thin face, if the woman is also strong enough to be able to take charge alone without the emperor's protection, the possibility of this tragedy will naturally be reduced.
The pair of Ouyang and Zhiyun is certainly not comparable to those emperors and favorite concubines in the history of the Qing Dynasty, they are fully capable of making decisions about their future lives.
Yang Jian and Queen Dugu can be a little representative, history cannot be reproduced, whether these two people are really in love and happiness or not, and the relationship is excellent, but Queen Dugu has a high status, and it is a fact that she can call the two saints with Yang Jian, and it is also a fact that Yang Jian has no one in the harem except for the queen......
Zhiyun squinted and drank two sips of tea, thinking for a while before opening the third letter, but this letter was unexpected by Zhiyun, it turned out to be sent by Concubine De in Shengjing.
Zhiyun raised her eyebrows in surprise, you know, when she was still Prince Yong Fujin, the relationship with Concubine De was not too good, on the surface, most of the scenes of harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also directed and acted by Concubine De, Zhiyun cooperated a little at most, and did not tear down the stage for her, speaking of daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law in Concubine De's heart, there was only Wanyan Fujin, and she would actually send her a letter at this time, which was a strange start?
When I opened the letter and read it, Zhiyun was happy, it turned out that the meaning to be expressed in the letter was exactly the same as that of Mrs. Nala, but the concubine could speak better than Mrs. Nala, and she was worthy of being able to stand out in Kangxi's harem, and the favorite concubine who had been favored for many years, there was not a word in the letter that was a cliché, and every sentence showed that this was a mother-in-law who was bent on thinking about her daughter-in-law and was dedicated to her daughter-in-law's good......
At the beginning of the letter, he first complimented Zhiyun without a trace, what children are filial and talented, and he is even more stable and has the appearance of a bright monarch, in short, he praised Zhiyun and several Agogege, just like an ordinary grandmother who is proud of her granddaughter's talent, and then praised Zhiyun, saying that she has the demeanor of a virtuous queen, and she is worthy of the blessing that Kangxi personally selected for Yinzhen.
The first half of the article is full of beautiful words, but it will never make people feel excessive and tired.
Then as soon as the conversation changed, it became commonplace, and Concubine De gossiped about the family trivialities of several old princes in Shengjing and the capital, which was quite interesting, especially the new things of Prince Zheng's family were described vividly.
Zhiyun was having fun while watching, not to mention, only taking Concubine De's letter as a pastime was still full of flavor.
She also knows the farce of Prince Zheng's family, but Prince Zheng's concubine Fujin is a 'jealous woman', and even the girls around her have to be guarded against, and the maids used are all five big and three thick kind of crooked melons and cracked dates, as long as the head and face are slightly flattened, they have to be sent out, or rationed to the little servants, and Prince Zheng is even more controlled to death on weekdays.
It was okay at the beginning, but it was a wife, why did Prince Zheng have to give his wife face, and after so many years, there must be affection.
But later, the old prince also began to get impatient, who can be happy to only look at an old face every day? It didn't take long for the old prince to hide when he saw his own concubine Fujin, but instead fell in love with the side Fujin, who was not very favored at first.
This side of Fujin is also a smart person, knowing that although he is not old and decrepit, but in the end a woman in her thirties, just by color, no matter how well maintained, she may not be able to fix her pet, so she simply chose a few beauties with good color and art to enter the house to be a personal girl, and now, if you really fascinate Prince Zheng so much that you can't find the north, you stay in the side Fujin room every day, and you don't care about Fujin......
So, Prince Zheng Fujin has become a big joke in the capital, although there are sympathetic and merciful people, but more is that she can't carry it clearly, and a lot of age is still competing with the little girls for favor, you say, what happened to Prince Zheng's favor with a few girls, anyway, you are the first emperor personally assigned to marry Fujin, no matter who it is, you can't go beyond you, as long as the prince respects you, he won't spoil the concubine and kill his wife, why bother with his own father? .
