The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

The queen has spent a lot of thought for her precious son. Although Tu Jingyi is arrogant, he is not an ignorant person. Because most of his companions are from honorable backgrounds, he is quite fond of those nobles. In order to get close, when I went to the household department to study, the Su family couldn't find anyone, so the queen naturally asked a few noble families to help. As a result, a large group of people came, reciting poems, composing Fu, appraising gold and stone antiques, etc. People are definitely experts, but these days the nobles have no power in their hands, otherwise, they would not hit it off with the queen, so there are more arty people at home, even if they raise some scholars, they usually act as clerical documents to help If you are planning a memorial or something, those who are really talented and knowledgeable, and good at common affairs, don't need to go to flatter those nobles. Even if you find a seventh-rank parent official to be a master's staff, your future will be better than being a clean guest.

The most important thing is that most of the scholars these days are not good at arithmetic, and many times they are not as good as women. After all, the housekeepers are all women these days, and they have to look at the accounts from time to time, so as not to be fooled by the stewards below.But this is not the time of the Tang and Song Dynasties. At that time, the imperial examinations still had Mingfa subjects, Mingshu courses and the like. Now they all take stereotyped essays. This has also caused many scholars to be really bad at things like accounting. Nowadays, only a small number of things like Nine Chapters of Arithmetic have gone back to study. Generally, those who have learned these things go to small officials like pen posts, and some even can only be small officials.This is the case with the Ministry of Accounting. They often recruit some people who are good at counting to do pen posting and specialize in accounting.

Tu Jingyi was here in the household department, because he and the people under him were not good at arithmetic, and because of the messy account books created by the people below, his brain hurt.The staff sent over didn't make him feel at ease either. They all regarded themselves as members of the fifth prince's family. They had a great time accepting bribes and so on, but they didn't do much business. Instead, they sued many people who refused to give them gifts in private. The tricky appearance coaxed Tu Jingyi into a daze.

Hearing that Tu Jingyi came back to complain, the queen was also helpless. On the one hand, she secretly hated her mother's family for not giving her face. Her son had started to work in the sixth department, and she refused to express it. As a result, her son had no one available; Tu Jingrui also hated it endlessly, hating the East Palace is already a habit, hating Tu Jingrui has been a matter of the past two years, there is no way, Tu Jingyi and Tu Jingrui are only a few months apart, originally his son is the king of the county, and his family He's just a bald prince, and he still has some psychological advantages, but now, Tu Jingrui's biological mother is a little worse than her queen in terms of status, she has divine favor, palace power, and most importantly, her natal family is very powerful.Tu Jingrui has been praised by Emperor Chengqing many times, and he already has a business outside. In such a comparison, his son is far behind. The queen does not want to blame her son for being useless, but can only blame the enemy for being too powerful.

Since several princes entered the court one after another, the atmosphere in the palace and the court has become more subtle. Tu Jingnian felt nothing. What he needed to pay attention to was not his younger brothers at all, but Emperor Chengqing's intentions.Emperor Chengqing's personality is becoming more and more erratic now, and he is slowly unwilling to hear any objections. It seems that after taking the elixir before, he has left sequelae. Now Emperor Chengqing is becoming more suspicious and irritable, and he seems quite headstrong.This made Tu Jingnian feel very bad. The problem is, as Tu Jingnian who has already regarded the country as his own, it is difficult to disregard the facts and agree with Emperor Chengqing's ideas against his will. Therefore, he had to work hard to find a way. Hope to get a balance from it.In addition, he became more filial to Emperor Chengqing, wishing to be beside Emperor Chengqing every day to ask for his health, check Emperor Chengqing's food list every day, almost earnestly persuade Emperor Chengqing not to eat heavy oily meat, but to eat Some lighter things, usually go out for a walk or something.

Emperor Chengqing still enjoyed this very much. No matter what, what Tu Jingnian did was indeed for his own good, and it was also a filial piety, although it was a bit lacking in terms of obedience.But it's better than those who follow themselves and ignore their own health.However, older people are always stubborn. On the one hand, Emperor Chengqing hoped to live for a few more years, but on the other hand, he felt that he would live up to his time if he didn't enjoy himself while he was alive. Persuasion goes in one ear and out the other.Of course, because Tu Jingnian's filial piety is almost visible, Emperor Chengqing is quite satisfied with this son, so he can still listen to Jin Tu Jingnian's opinions in many cases, which finally makes Tu Jingnian feel relaxed. Some.

As Tu Jingnian was struggling outside the court, He Yu also became a little nervous.As the crown princess, He Yu had to go to greet the queen every day. At that time, he naturally had to deal with a group of concubines. Originally, He Yu was quite sure, but now he listened to the queen and those concubines with children playing games every day. Feng, also became irritable.

When Tu Jingnian came back from the previous court, he saw that she seemed to be out of her mind, which was a little strange. Many times, Tu Jingnian felt that He Yu was very restrained, why is she like this now, so he asked : "Why are you so anxious recently, but what's wrong with your body?"

He Yu came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "Recently, I heard some concubines and concubines talk about my younger brothers. I don't know how they are doing in Liubu today?" They didn't cause any trouble for you, the prince!

Tu Jingnian understood, and said softly: "They are not young anymore, and the emperor let them enter the sixth department to exercise their abilities. Nothing will go wrong, so don't worry too much!" It's okay, a few little kids Can't afford to overturn the big waves!

Although He Yu felt that Tu Jingnian was too optimistic, he still breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking about this matter, but said with a smile: "Today, the dining room said that some fresh fish and shrimps were brought in below. Seeing that His Highness has always liked these things, he asked them to make a few and come in, why don't His Highness try it?"

Tu Jingnian smiled and said: "Since that's the case, I naturally want to try something new!"

He Yu immediately ordered the palace servants to pass on the food, but when the fish soup was served, He Yu couldn't help retching, Jingnian was stunned, then had a guess, and directly ordered: "Come here, pass on the imperial physician!"

The people below naturally also had guesses, so the one who came was Chen Taiyi who is good at gynecology. After taking the pulse through the veil, Chen Taiyi showed a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Your Highness, the Crown Princess is happy again!"

Tu Jingnian had already expected it, so he didn't lose his composure, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a happy event, Quan Fu, reward Imperial Physician Chen!" Another piece of joy.

The news that the crown princess was pregnant again quickly spread throughout the East Palace, but it was Amin who came first, and Amin asked curiously: "Daddy, the mother said that the mother concubine has a baby in her stomach, is it true?"

Tu Jingnian didn't care about the rules of holding grandchildren and not having children, he stepped forward and hugged A Ming, and said with a smile: "Yes, A Ming will have younger brothers and sisters in the future, are you happy?"

Amin bit his thumb: "Are younger brothers and sisters fun?"

Tu Jingnian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's fun, when you have younger brothers and sisters, they will all be under A Ming's care, do you think it's okay?"

A Ming was overjoyed: "Daddy means what he says, and I will take care of all younger siblings from now on!"

"Daddy means what he says. You are an older brother, so you must teach and protect your younger siblings in the future!" Tu Jingnian coaxed.

Amin nodded solemnly: "Amin will do it!"

Tu Jingnian smiled, no matter what happens in the future, as Amin has this heart now, Tu Jingnian is content.In fact, Tu Jingnian did not expect that the Crown Princess would be pregnant again so soon. In fact, his original plan was to wait a few years until Ah Ming was older. Fortunately, the Crown Princess was pregnant. After all, it was from the same mother. Feelings will be better.

The princess is pregnant, and Tu Jingnian, who thought the princess was too sensitive before, has found the reason. Pregnant women are prone to wandering minds, sensitive and suspicious, and it is normal to be impatient.

The next day, almost the entire imperial palace knew about the princess's pregnancy. When He Yu went to Changyang Palace to pay his respects, he received envious and jealous looks from many concubines.Those who can go to Changyang Palace to pay their respects are almost all the masters of the first palace. Otherwise, no matter how big the main hall of Changyang Palace is, it can’t accommodate so many people, isn’t it? Those with lower status want to pay respects to the queen They don't have the qualifications yet, they can only pay respects to their masters after the masters they depend on come back.The problem is, after the past few years, Emperor Chengqing still looks like a dragon and a tiger, but all the concubines who are pregnant are relatively low-ranking concubines. Unlike Lin Chongrong, when Tu Jingping's biological mother passed away, he picked up a son for nothing.

Moreover, compared with Emperor Chengqing, Tu Jingnian is obviously quite good in terms of female sex. There are only three famous women in the East Palace now, and the other two were bestowed by Emperor Chengqing back then. There is no rain and dew, and He Yu is not beautiful, but A Ming is less than two years old, and He Yu is pregnant again. It can be seen how Tu Jingnian treats the princess. Because of her age, some of them have not seen each other for a long time How embarrassing is the favor of Emperor Chengqing!But they didn't think that if it wasn't for Emperor Chengqing's temper, they might not have been kept in the palace.

And when Tu Jingnian arrived at Daming Palace, Emperor Chengqing also asked: "I heard that the Crown Princess is pregnant again?"

Tu Jingnian laughed and said, "That's right, my son didn't expect it either. I thought it would be better to wait two years until Ah Ming was older. How could I have it again so soon!"

Emperor Chengqing also smiled and said: "This is also your blessing, it will be lively when you have more children!" After speaking, Emperor Chengqing suddenly said: "A Ming is not young now, and now that the crown princess is born again, you young couple are also happy." I don’t have that much energy, why don’t I send Amin to Daming Palace?”

Tu Jingnian was stunned, and quickly realized that no matter what, from his own experience, Emperor Chengqing was quite reliable in raising children, but Amin was still young and naughty, so don't annoy Emperor Chengqing, so Said: "Father is willing to help his son take care of the child. It's too late for the son to be happy. However, the son thinks, Amin is still young and very spoiled, afraid of disturbing the quietness of the father!"

Emperor Chengqing blew his beard and stared at him: "What's quiet, do you think the father is old? Hmph, you were so little back then, and I brought you up. Amin is much more obedient than you were then!"

Tu Jingnian rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, but it is obviously unreliable to argue with an old man who loves his grandson who is better between himself and his son, not to mention there are a bunch of palace people taking care of him, so nothing will go wrong, so He agreed straightforwardly, and bargained again: "If that's the case, then disturb Father! However, Amin is still young, and the son and the princess are also thinking about him. Let him go back to the East Palace for a day every few days!"

Emperor Chengqing also thought about it: "Okay, tell your daughter-in-law later, this matter is settled, and I will ask someone to prepare Amin's house!" As he said, he didn't care about any state affairs, and excitedly pulled Then Tu Jingnian went to the side hall to choose the decoration for his grandson's house.
