Happy Life in the Red Chamber

Xiangyun didn't know that his troublesome mother-in-law had been taken care of by Prince Yong, and she was following Sifu Jin to pay respects to the Empress Dowager in a proper manner.The empress dowager has always been kind, holding the hand of Xiangyun, the great-grandson's daughter-in-law, and chattering a lot of Mongolian.

Fortunately, after the marriage, Xiangyun learned some Mongolian from Mother Xu, and he could barely understand that he was praising himself, so he thanked him in Mongolian with a smile.The empress dowager was pleasantly surprised when she heard that Xiangyun's Mongolian language was very authentic. She dragged her to talk for a long time, but thanks to the old lady's lack of energy, otherwise Xiangyun was really at a loss for words.

The skill of being able to speak Mongolian still gave her a lot of impression points. Before leaving, the empress dowager didn't want to reward her too much.I don’t know how many good things the old lady has, and if they are left in vain, they will fall into ashes. This time, I met a caring junior, and I gave him a reward. I also repeatedly told Nala to bring Xiangyun into the palace when there is nothing to do. Come chat with her.

When Xiangyun heard this, he thought, he had to continue to learn Mongolian well when he went back, otherwise the next time he chatted with the queen mother, she would find out that she really doesn't know much, just pretending.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, the first stop is to go to the palace of the Concubine De, the concubine De and Yinzhen are both awkward temperaments, even if the misunderstanding is resolved, the relationship between them is still indifferent on the surface.

But Concubine De is very kind to Yinzhen's sons, not to mention his son Hong Hao, but just Hong Yun, a concubine son, who is also very caring.

Although Xiangyun was born in a poor family, it is well known to everyone inside and outside the palace that Hongyun is weak.She and Kangxi also knew what Master Liaoyuan said. In addition, during the draft, Xiangyun had visited her palace several times, so this time when they met Concubine De, she was very close to Xiangyun.

Afterwards, Nala led Xiangyun to visit the palaces of several other empresses as well, and the meeting gift was really well received.Especially Concubine Yi, Brother Jiu often praised Hongyun and Xiangyun in front of Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi had a good impression of Xiangyun.

Xiangyun finally understands who learned Brother Jiu's generosity from, the family has a long history, Yifei's way of expressing her love is to appreciate things.

She gave more rewards than Concubine De, a serious mama, that is to say, Concubine De had known her for decades, and knew her stinky virtues, so she wouldn't be mad at someone else.

As for Kangxi, the emperor who manages everything every day, not everyone sees it. Hongyun is just a bastard, and people just reward a bunch of things and it's over.

Xiangyun returned home and leaned on the heated kang and sighed with Hong Yun: "Our small storehouse is almost too big to fit into the palace once. If we go into the palace a few times, we will send it away?"

Hong Yun was applying ointment to her red and swollen heels that were worn by the bottom of the flower pot, and he didn't lift his head when he heard her words: "You are so beautiful, I will give you a meeting gift this time."

Xiangyun's feet were itchy from being rubbed by him, and he wanted to take them back with a smile, but he grabbed him: "Don't move, I just applied the medicine, don't move now, I'll rub the ointment for you, or the swelling will be very red and swollen." Difficult to go down.

Don't wear the bottom of the flower pot in the future, it's worn so badly after wearing it for half a day, what are those slaves doing for food?The shoes made do not fit. "

Xiang Yun yawned: "The shoes are not bad, my skin is too tender, there will be marks if you touch it a little bit, look at what you pinched for me yesterday!"

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the bruises on her waist. Hong Yun touched her nose and leaned in front of her: "Hey, I was wrong, are you tired? I'll take you back to bed and lie down. "

Xiangyun actually found that being a relative is more comfortable than staying at her natal family. Before that, she had to go to pay her respects to Mrs. Liu sooner or later at her natal family, and she was in charge of everything she did, not allowing this or that.You must be honest and honest when you sleep, and you can't rummage.

It's different when they become relatives, Nala is considerate of her and Hong Yun's newlyweds, and goes to greet her once every three days.The daughter-in-law of other people's family has to wait for her mother-in-law to eat and so on. When she comes to her place, Nalashi will bring her food for fear that she will not be full.

Mrs. Li is now busy trying to win back Prince Yong's heart, and has no time to talk to her at all. Every time Xiangyun goes to pay her respects, it is like routine work for both of them.

She greeted her, and Li Shi called out, asked Hong Yun's body a few words of "concern", and then sent her away, unable to say ten words before and after.

Prince Yong was so busy that Hong Yun had nothing to do except study with Wu Sidao every day.

In the 51st year of Kangxi, the prince who had been re-established for three years was once again abolished, and the people in the court were panicked.The eighth elder brother was appreciated by Kangxi again, and the fourteenth elder brother became Kangxi's favorite prince.Both of them are the best candidates for the next crown prince in the hearts of the courtiers.

However, Prince Yong Yinzhen kept a low profile at this time. He brought his son Fujin Nala clan, side Fujin Nian clan and several children of his family to the Yuanmingyuan rewarded by Kangxi.He personally led several children in the family to reclaim wasteland and plant crops.

Hongyun was also very interested, and he pulled Xiangyun to open a piece of land, saying that he would also like to farm.Xiangyun stopped him from planting rice: "Didn't Uncle Jiu send some golden corn last time? Let's just plant that."

Hong Yun frowned: "That stuff is just good-looking, it's useless after planting it." Xiang Yun patted him on the shoulder: "Why is it useless? This golden corn can not only be seen, but also eaten.

I once saw in the Nautical Records that foreigners in one place planted this kind of golden corn on a large scale.It has a high yield and is not picky, and there are many ways to eat it.Let's check to see if what the book says is correct.Anyway, we don't plant too much, just a small piece. "

Hong Yun remembered it as soon as he heard it, and planted a small piece of golden corn.Xiangyun thought for a while: "Let's not grow like Ama and the others. Let's plant some golden corn and then some peanuts. The corn is boiled to eat, and the peanuts are fried to eat. Uh, we can also plant some sugar cane, Gnaw and eat."

Hongyun raised his forehead: "After all, you just want to eat, okay, just grow peanuts, golden corn and sugar cane."

At first, no one took the three plots planted by Xiangyun and Hongyun seriously, even Yinzhen thought they were fooling around.It's just that I'm sorry to discourage the enthusiasm of the two of them. After all, in order to eat corn and peanuts, Xiangyun is so lazy to pull weeds.

Prince Yong was serious about his work. He didn't even see a single piece of grass in the few plots he planted. He personally put on a straw hat, straw sandals, and changed into coarse clothes to work.

Nala would follow him to weed and water when he was in the mood. In contrast, Xiangyun had to sleep late in the morning, she thought the sun was too hot at noon, and she could always find various reasons to avoid work in the afternoon.

But the strange thing is that her and Hongyun's three plots are the most prosperous.In this regard, Xiangyun said very modestly that there is nothing to do with a good character.In fact, she secretly mixed the spirit spring water of the space into the pouring water.

When the golden corn she planted came to ear, she even had someone apply farmyard manure to the corn and peanuts.Afterwards, Xiangyun had to go around every day, looking forward to eating tender corn every day.

When Xiangyun was carrying the basket and dragging Hong Yun to break the corn, Hong Yun was still a little hesitant: "It doesn't look ripe yet? Why are you breaking it now?"

Xiangyun sucked in his saliva: "It's just that it's not cooked before breaking it and cooking it. When it's cooked and hard, you can eat it with a hammer. Don't talk nonsense, let's go!"

Xiangyun broke a basket of corn, then peeled off the skin to leave the innermost layer, and let the kitchen cook it.

When the corn is about to ripen, the fragrance makes the greedy people in the kitchen salivate.Xiangyun had been waiting outside for a long time. When one end came, she didn't care about burning it, so she took one and took a bite.

While gnawing on it, he greeted Hong Yun: "You are a thief, taste it quickly." Hong Yun saw that her food was delicious, so he also picked up one and started to gnaw it.

The couple just held the corn on the cob and gnawed indistinctly.After eating a big root, Xiangyun burped: "Shall we send some to Ama and Erniang?"

Hong Yun wiped his mouth: "Send it, let Ama taste it, not to mention, it tastes really good."

The two happily carried the remaining corn cobs to Nala's yard, just in time to meet Yinzhen there.As soon as the food was delivered, these two goods were reprimanded by Yinzhen: "Dare to eat anything? Are you not afraid of being poisoned to death? Won't you let the servants try it first?

Even if it's edible, it's still not ripe green, so you just break off the seedlings and eat them?Isn't this a waste?Who is such a prodigal like you two? "

Nala hurriedly persuaded: "Master, if it can be boiled and eaten as Yun'er said, and can be ground for grain after ripening, that would be a good thing."

Yinzhen picked up a piece of corn and ate it, and Nalashi ate it too.She was afraid that if Yinzhen would feel uncomfortable after eating, she secretly arranged for someone to invite the imperial physician.

After half an hour, the imperial doctor came to check the pulse, and after an hour, she was still fine, so she finally felt relieved.

After that, boiled corn was on the menu of their house for several days, and Yinzhen stopped scolding the two of them. Anyway, if you scold these two foodies, they should eat as usual.

After eating for several days in a row, Yinzhen broke two baskets of fresh corn on the cob and brought them into the palace for Kangxi to enter.

They have experimented with many eating methods in the past few days, and the corn rib soup and fresh corn milk hair cake are Prince Yong's favorites.It was also the first time for Kangxi to hear that golden corn could be eaten. He ate a cooked tender corn on the cob and thought it was quite fresh.

Asking him how he came up with this, Yinzhen was a little helpless: "Hongyun and his wife are greedy, they broke off the corn and cooked it before it was ripe, and when the son said it, they also said that they just had to eat it fresh. In a few days, the two of them are going to dig peanuts to eat, and when the son brings it to Huang Ama, you can try it too."

Kangxi smiled: "These two children planted it themselves, and they ate it. How is the land you planted?" This is what Yinzhen waited for. He compared his two months of farming experience with Chattered with Kangxi like a family routine.

Kangxi is now being scrambled by several sons, wishing that he would give up his position sooner and get hurt.You must know that he is not old-fashioned. When the emperor is like this, he is called long live, long live, long live, and long live, and he really feels that he can live.

Of course, although Kangxi's body is not as good as when he was in his prime, he is actually still very healthy. You must know that Jingpin Shi gave birth to his 23rd elder brother Yinqi last month.

Kangxi felt that he could live at least another 20 years without any problem. He was surprised to see the eighth and fourteenth brothers fighting like black-eyed chickens.

On the contrary, Yinzhen didn't fight or grab, and went into the palace from time to time to chat with him about the family affairs, which made him feel very relieved.The key person is indeed capable, but whenever there is something that needs to come forward, such as disaster relief, collection of bills and other offending things, the old eight will hide like a loach.

As for Yinzhen, he foolishly took it down, no matter how difficult things are, people always handle them beautifully.

How could such a son, Kangxi, not like him?Kangxi, who was chatting with Yinzhen, said directly: "Let me know when the two children are digging peanuts, and I will go and have a look."

Yinzhen was very happy when he heard it, and he rarely praised Xiangyun and Hongyun when he went back, and told them by the way that these days, the tender corn was sent to the palace every day while it was edible.
