Chapter Ninety-Seven: Leaving the Palace and Opening the Mansion (2)
Xiaohai's daughter-in-law's surname is Niu Colu, and Ama is a third-grade member of the Ministry of Industry, with a rich family background, and she is a big lady with eight classics. She is supple and modest, and her manners are decent, which is slightly dull compared to the little sea ghosts. After listening to the fourteen words of laughter, Niu Colu's face turned red, and he immediately smiled and took an enamel sandalwood incense box from the girl's hand, presented it to me, and said, "The slave and maid specially prepared a thin gift for Ah Xinggege, please accept it with a smile." ”
She was a slave and maid, and I couldn't listen to it, so I said kindly: "Feel free to do it in the future, you don't have to call yourself a slave." Xiaohai is my brother-in-law, you are my brother-in-law, and Ah Xing's aunt. Niu Colu looked at Xiao Hai, and Xiao Hai said: "What Fu Jin says, you can do it." ”
Niu Colu said: "Fu Jin is right. ”
Coming out of the east courtyard, Niu Colu saw many officials wearing red hats standing outside the courtyard gate, and wanted to bow sideways, but those officials retreated to both sides in unison, bowed their heads and waists, and made way out. Another eunuch stepped forward to beat Qianqiu and said, "My lord, Fujin, please go with the slaves, don't get lost." Xiao Hai saw that the eunuch had a blue flower feather on his head, and knew that it was a four-grade eunuch, so he said politely: "It's hard work." The eunuch said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare...", and led Xiaohai and the two to go out of the house from the main gate around the garden.
Before he got married, he almost never left the house. I used to think that the garden at home was very big, but after arriving at Wanyan Mansion, I realized that the flowers and plants at home were really nothing. But now to the fourteenth elder brother's mansion to see, only to feel dazzled, not even where he is, only to walk a circle and a circle, after a long corridor, there is another corridor, there is the main hall of the front hall, with the building and the back of the bed, she stands in the small flower path and looks at it from afar, the flowers and trees are everywhere, the pavilion is faintly thick, the slave girl is neatly dressed, it is the eunuch who leads the way and spreads the word, and most of them have official positions.
She smacked her tongue secretly, and became more and more afraid to take one more step and say one more word.
Sending Xiaohai away, the chief steward of Qin and the second steward Lin of the outer courtyard led the officials of the house into the house to greet me. They were all officials who led the court and handled everything in the outer court. And all the affairs of the inner court are handled by the eunuchs who come out of the palace. Zhang Fangfang is the eunuch in charge of the inner courtyard, and all the affairs in my courtyard are taken care of by Minqiu.
I saw people all day, and I was relieved when I was holding the lamp.
I lay on the kang for Concubine De to reward, and the grandmother who specializes in dredging the meridians pressed my shoulders, neck and back. I've been lying on the couch for three years, and the old wound on my back has healed a lot, and now that I'm properly maintained, I don't have any more pain.
Fourteen writes homework on the side, in fact, it is super hard to be a prince, not only to do a good job in the court, but also to study and not slack off. Kangxi can grasp it tightly, every few days, he has to ask a few brothers about their homework, and sometimes he pulls two articles at random for them to memorize, who can't memorize it, hmph, Kangxi doesn't have to do it himself when he plays the board.
However, the fourteen martial arts are good, and in terms of learning, Kangxi treats him more relaxed, which can be regarded as teaching him according to his aptitude.
The house is quiet, he does his thing, I enjoy my blessings, and I am safe in this world.
Fourteen wrote that he did not finish his homework until ten o'clock in the evening, washed and slept, and got up again at three or four o'clock the next day, and entered the palace to ask for morning class. When I go home at five o'clock in the afternoon, practice Huizi boxing, and eat late, it's basically time to go to bed. This is still a normal situation, if something happens to the court, or Kangxi stays with him for a while, it will probably be midnight when he returns home.
Since the opening of the mansion, I have not seen Fourteen for three days in a row.
Today, he finally had a holiday and practiced boxing in the yard, and I specially made "Super Mango Ice" - mangoes selected from Hainan Yugong, washed and cut into large cubes, then grinded the bananas into a paste, stirred with milk and crushed ice, and then spread the mango flesh thickly on the banana milk shaved ice. I also asked the warehouse to use copper, according to the style of the hollow hairpin, a set of "straws"... With my shaved ice, take a sip on a hot summer day and when you are sweating, the ice heart is cool, and the soul is so cool that you have to go out of your body!
I was full of joy and dedicated to Fourteen, and he still said: "The sweet and greasy things that women eat, who eats them...", but Ah Xing ate happily, and kept pushing Fourteen to taste, muttering in his mouth: "Ama take a bite, it's so delicious..."
Watching them eat happily, I am happy even if I don't eat.
After eating, I took a nap for the fourteenth servant, and then woke up and fell asleep, and I wanted to lie down for a while, but the steward of the outer court came to pass the word, saying that the internal affairs office had sent a roster of officials, slaves, and fields in the palace, and asked the master to take a look. Because the eunuch had to return to the palace to resume his life, the steward specially entered the inner courtyard to spread the word.
The head of the company stood quietly and respectfully. I sat on the kang, opened the booklet and looked at it, and found that there were 12 new officials, 30 slaves and maids, and 2,000 acres of land. Why did the emperor suddenly reward these..."The master said: "Qi Qi Fujin, this is Baylor's standard treatment, presumably in just two days, the will of the Fourteenth Master Jin to be named Baylor will be made." "My title to the prince of the Qing Dynasty has been staying in the fifth elder brother of Huanzhu Gege, I don't know what the difference between the elder brother and Baylor is, I don't want to ask again, so I got up and woke up fourteen in the dormitory.
There was no surprise on Fourteen's face, he took a pen and signed, stamped his seal, and still handed it over to the messenger.
When the people were gone, Fourteen climbed back to sleep on the couch. I sat down on the side of the pedal and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about the Belle?" "No matter how you say it, it's also a promotion, and it's also a happy event! Fourteen put his arms on his head, and said gloomily: "Even the starling brother is just Baylor, how did he become Prince Heshuoyong with his Yinzhen (fourth master)?" ”
It turned out that Kangxi not only promoted the fourteenth to be Baylor, but also named the fourth master as Prince Heshuoyong.
I don't know when he married the fourth master, he is obviously a brother, but he has to see the fourth master. No, it should be said that the fourth master is better than the eighth master. In his heart, except for the emperor, the position of the eighth master is almost supreme. I felt that his thoughts were dangerous, so I reached out to hold his face and said, "Since the fourth master is appreciated by Huang Ama, he has his own advantages. He is your own brother, he can be a prince, your mother also has glory on her face, and the status of the harem is more stable, you should be happy. After a pause, he smiled again: "Besides, if you become Baylor, your salary will also increase, and you can make a few more clothes for the people in the house." ”
You know, even if it's a jacket, making one for everyone in the house is a lot of money.
Fourteen glanced at me and said, "No matter how tight the house is, you can't afford to eat and wear silver, and you don't need to save it." ”
I looked out the window at Ugin falling and said, "It's half past five, are you still sleeping?" "Fourteen glanced at the Western clock, turned over, I served him and dressed, and ordered someone to boil honeysuckle water for him and Ah Xing to bathe and wash their hair, and in the evening, the three of them ate late in the garden in the open house. The open Xuan is very large, there are dozens of square meters, there are no doors and no windows, the gold is carved and jade, there is a hollow brocade floor cover between the pillars, the inside and outside are connected, sitting in it is no different from sitting in the pavilion, you can see everything around you.
I didn't have much to eat at night, and when I came, I found that I had gained weight, with big hips, bulging breasts, and thick waist. Second, Ah Xing's stomach and stomach accumulation have not been cured. Anyway, eating less also has the advantage of eating less, and the emphasis is on eating delicately and nutritiously.
The summer stars are shining, the moonlight is shrouded like a light veil, the insects and frogs are chirping, and the sound of Ah Xing lying on the big bench counting stones. With Fourteen Ann by her side, everything was wonderful.
For the first time, I really felt the benefits of opening a mansion - no matter how late I slept, no one dared to gossip.
Unlike in the Forbidden City, where the lock is locked at 90 p.m., no one is allowed to move around at will. Although I have nowhere to go, the repression of being restrained can be very depressing at times.
The opening of the mansion and the fourteen letters for Baylor soon spread in the capital. There are countless people who come to visit me every day, and there are also officials, wives, and princesses from all walks of life who are crowding into my yard. The fourteen who could block it ordered the head of the outer courtyard to block it for me, and there was no way to stop it, so I had to cheer up and greet politely. After a long month of trouble, when the roses in the yard began to wither and the fruit trees began to be planted, my life gradually calmed down.
Because the old lady was sick, E-niang couldn't get out to see me. On this day, I saw that the autumn was high and refreshing, so I took Ah Xing to Wanyan Mansion in a sedan chair. At this time, it has been six years since I got married. Ama and the eldest brother knew that I was going home, so they specially asked for a day off, and Xiaohai had not yet come out, so they only needed to say hello to the teachers of Shoushan Academy, and they didn't need to go to school. They waited at the gate early, let the servants prepare firecrackers, and when my sedan chair fell, it crackled for two quarters of an hour.
I shouted with joy: "Eniang, Amma." ”
Amma was so happy that she was at a loss, patted me on the back, smiled so much that her mouth couldn't close her mouth, and said that she had made me the best yogurt, and then said that E-Niang had cooked a table full of dishes, and then brought a plate of grapes to ask me if I wanted to eat it, and then led me to ask the old lady to say goodbye. That flattery, looking left and right, doesn't look like high-ranking officials and nobles, as if they are bad old men in the market who are looking forward to their children coming home.
I taught Ah Xing to call my grandfather, but after finishing Yan Luocha, I took out my trouser pockets up and down, left and right to find a gift, and finally took a jade pendant from my waist, put it into Ah Xing's purse, and said: "This is a good thing, it was found by my grandfather's grandfather from a leader when he was fighting in Mongolia, it is said that it is made of ancient jade, which can ward off evil spirits and subdue demons, and my grandfather is not even willing to give it to my uncle, so I will give it to you today." ”
Ah Xing seems to understand whether she understands or not, she is a Gege from the palace, she has a very good upbringing, and she also knows how to please the elderly, so she took out the set in front of Concubine Kangxi De, took Yan Luocha's hand, and said coquettishly: "Thank you grandpa, grandpa is really good to Ah Xing, and Ah Xing will also be good to his grandfather in the future." At this time, Wanyan Luocha's heart was crispened, he picked up Ah Xing and carried it on his shoulder, and said, "Grandpa will take you to the garden..."
E-Niang was busy in the kitchen, and I wanted to go in and hand over a plate or something, but I was reprimanded by E-Niang and pushed out, saying: "You are now Belle Fujin, your status is noble, don't stain your clothes." My sister-in-law and sister-in-law were helping in the kitchen, and they all smiled at me: "You go out quickly, just wait for the food, how can there be any reason to let the guests do it." ”
I had to go back to the flower hall to have a meal with my eldest brother and little Hela.
The eldest brother used to accompany the fourth master to read haha beads, but now he is on an errand in the household department, and he is very reused by the fourth master. I smiled while eating grapes: "You are doing things under the fourth master, it is a good way out." The eldest brother had never spoken much, so he laughed and did not speak. It's Xiaohai, he can't stop as soon as the conversation box opens, he said: "The fourth master is good, the king of Zhijun, the third master, and the eighth master were prominent for a while, and they were still scolded by the emperor when they were down, but the fourth master, no matter when there were no rumors that he had made any mistakes, and now he was named Prince Heshuoyong, among the princes, except for the crown prince, he was... Wait a minute...", he said, giving a thumbs up.
Wanyan Luocha didn't know when he turned around and scolded: "You know a fart, talking nonsense here." ”
His attitude towards me and Xiaohai is that playing small is one in the sky and one in the ground. Xiao Haizui said stiffly: "What I said is the truth, the classmates in our class have been talking about this matter recently, let..." ”
Xiaohai: "..."
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
When dinner was about to begin, Fourteen finally arrived. He dismounted, and was in a hurry, apparently in a hurry, and did not even bring his attendants. I washed my face and went straight to the table to eat. A large table was set up in the flower hall, and in the middle sat Ama Eniang, next to Ama sat fourteen, eldest brother, and Xiaohai, and next to Eniang sat me, sister-in-law and brother-in-law. Ah Xing was led by Mama to feed beside him. The family drank and said many words of blessing, and it was as lively and festive as the New Year.
When I returned home, I asked Minqiu to take Ah Xing in the car, and I rode with Fourteen. The autumn evening was already cool, and the horse walked slowly, I nestled in the arms of Fourteen, told him the conversation between Amma and Xiaohai, and said with a smile: "You don't know, as soon as Ama said the results of the monthly exam, Xiaohai's face began to turn blue, but I was very happy." ”
I looked at Fourteen and didn't speak, so I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Fourteen said seriously: "It's pretty cute to think about..."360 search. The fourteenth fortune of the Qing piercing is updated quickly
I asked, "Who?" Thinking that he was going to praise me, he smiled and said, "Do you want to talk about me?" Where's the cuteness? ”
Fourteen looked down at me and said, "I said Amma." ”
...... I rolled my eyes wide.
This year's autumn was particularly short, and my autumn robe was not finished before the first snow fell. Outside the window, the snowflakes are pouring one after another, and the house is burning the earth dragon, which is warm, and the peony and red plum are placed, and the fragrant wind is blowing, like a spring scene.
Fourteen entered the house, there was no smile on his face, his eyes were red, and he was silent for a while. I wiped his face with a warm towel and asked gently, "But is there something going on in the palace?" Fourteen sighed and said, "The tenth sister is gone." "I don't know who his tenth sister is, Kangxi has too many children, I can't even recognize them.
He said again: "You prepare a cup of good wine, and I'll go and see the old thirteen tomorrow." "I don't understand, he always doesn't allow me to contact Thirteen, and I have to be jealous every time, but now I take the initiative to mention it, which is really incomprehensible. Fourteen continued: "The tenth sister and the thirteenth sister and the old thirteen are half-brothers and sisters. I didn't get a mother when I was young, and it was nothing for the old thirteen to live in the elder brother's house, but the tenth sister and the thirteenth sister were raised by several concubines in the harem in turn, and the pain was nowhere to say it. Last winter, the thirteenth sister fell ill, and the thirteenth child also fell seriously ill. Yesterday, there was an excerpt from Mongolia, saying that the tenth sister was also dead. The old thirteen died two sisters in one year... Hey...", the seven-foot man burst into tears.
I made up for the [200] words I owed yesterday, friends, remember to vote for the golden ticket.
