The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Even though Shiliu is only seven years old, she has already studied housekeeping with her mother for two years.A Manchu daughter is about to be drafted and married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. With the status of the Shi family, Pomegranate will undoubtedly be the heir to Fujin in the future. Naturally, this housekeeper must learn early.

In the beginning, Duanmin Gege took her with her when she was just the housekeeper, but when she saw that she was interested, he began to guide her from the side.Although she is young, she has learned well.

The rich families always bring gifts to their family when they go out and return home. Pomegranate is still young, so he also imitated Er Niang and prepared some flowers and plants he raised for others.

If you think this thing is cheap, you are wrong. A good pot of peonies can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, like Yao Huang Wei Zi cultivated from pomegranates, they are all the best of the best. People can be sold for a thousand taels of gold.

Just talk about the ten potted flowers given to Zhuang Min, at least ten thousand taels of silver.

Looking at her Mafa's accusing eyes, Shiliu followed up and said: "The granddaughter also prepared camellia for Mafa." It's strange to say that she Mafa is obviously a general who prefers to learn from civil servants, and civil servants like lotus and There are mostly camellias, and so is Mafa.

Shi Huashan's eyes lit up, and he didn't feel wronged anymore. Instead, he asked with a smile, "What kind of species did you prepare for Mafa?" Five kinds of the most precious peonies were prepared for Aixinjueluo family, and he probably couldn't do it here. bad?

He is Mafa, a direct relative.Shi Huashan thought with some expectation.

"I prepared two [-]th bachelors, [-] Chinese red chrysanthemum petals and [-] camellias for Marfa." The [-]th bachelors she gave were a pot of pink [-]th bachelors and a white [-]th bachelors.Among them, the pink one has a single flower color, which is pure pink.There are five different flower colors on the white one, pink, red, white, red stripes on a white background, and white stripes on a red background.

It is said to be five colors, but in fact the colors are very similar, and this kind of camellia is also called "small five colors", which can be regarded as the best of the best.In order to cultivate this camellia, Pomegranate put a lot of thought into it.

Not to mention 'Han Hong Chrysanthemum Petal', also known as 'Hen Tian Gao', which is more popular among nobles.How expensive is it?Other camellias are sold by plant, but by leaves, how much copper (silver) a leaf costs.If anyone's family has a 'Han Hong Chrysanthemum Petal', it will be hated by others.

There are many literati in Hangzhou, there are many camellias, and there are many four gentlemen among the flowers. Every time you go out, you can buy pomegranates and find satisfactory flowers.

Although the amount of camellias given to him was not as much as that of his wife and daughter, from the description, Shi Huashan knew that it was no less expensive than his wife's. "I knew that my good granddaughter loved me, unlike you, Ama, who didn't even know to bring gifts for me when I went out."

Shi Wenbing seemed to have gotten used to his Ama's disgusting eyes, he was sitting on the chair as stable as Mount Tai, and he didn't move.

"Such a loving child, why?" Zhuang Jing stopped talking halfway through her words.

Everyone else looked up at her, and Shi Huashan coughed softly: "It's getting late, Erzhen, take the pomegranate and go back to the room to rest first, and you have to hand over the post to enter the palace tomorrow." When Shi Wenbing came back, he was going to meet Sheng Yes, his Fujin is of high grade, so naturally he should enter the palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

Is there something wrong and can't let her know?Adults in this world have some things, especially those that involve themselves, unless necessary, they will not say it in front of the children, so she doesn't make any fuss, and stands up obediently, "The granddaughter will leave first."

"My daughter will also leave first."

The charcoal pot burning in the room didn't feel cold, the two shuddered unconsciously when they left the room, and then smiled at each other.Tightening the cloaks on their bodies, the two walked side by side, chatting indiscriminately: "Guess what they are saying without telling us?"

"Since little aunt is curious, why don't you eavesdrop?" Although they were talking in the room, if they really wanted to eavesdrop, they might not fail to hear them.

Erzhen stretched out her hand and squeezed the smiling face of pomegranate, "You are a coward, you know how to tease auntie." Pomegranate eats well, with a chubby face, she has long wanted to stretch out her hand to pinch it, and now she has fulfilled her wish .

There are not many women in Shi Wenbing's backyard, only three concubines, his biological mother died young, and his stepmother Zhuang Jinggege never interfered in the affairs of his backyard.With fewer women, there are more vacant rooms in the backyard of the Earl's Mansion.After Pomegranate was born, Erzhen often ran here, and Duan Min simply arranged a yard next door for her.

The courtyards of the two are next to each other, the pomegranate garden is called the pomegranate garden, next to her mother's main courtyard, and next to the pomegranate garden is Erzhen's Zhenbao Pavilion.It was late today, and the two said goodbye at the gate of the pomegranate garden, and made an appointment to go to say hello together tomorrow morning.

After a busy day, Pomegranate didn't need anyone to wait on her, so she sent out the servants when she returned to her room.

There are two pots of lucky bamboos that are growing well by the window of the room, and there is a concubine couch next to the lucky bamboos.There was no one in the room, Shiliu took a good tiger skin and spread it on the couch, wrapped the quilt around her body, touched the lucky bamboo with one hand, and closed her eyes.

If she was seen by outsiders, she would think she was asleep. In fact, she was 'eavesdropping' on the conversations of several people through the plants in the Earl's Mansion.

This is the instinct left over from her previous life as a flower god, and she can communicate with plants.As long as there are plants, there are no secrets to her.

In the past, she would use this ability to monitor the servants in the mansion to see what they were like in private and whether there were insincere and lazy behaviors.It was the first time to eavesdrop on the elders' speech like today.

Mam's unfinished words and Mafa's unnatural expression made her feel uneasy, and she guessed that what they told her away from her sister-in-law should have something to do with her.Everyone in the family thinks she is a child, and they are unwilling to tell her even if something happens, but she knows she is not.

She is also capable of protecting her family.

Shi Huashan and the others didn't know that their little granddaughter still had this ability, so they sent the two little ones away. He drank a sip of tea, and then said: "Do you still remember that when the pomegranate was born, the empress dowager sent two children to teach her?" Mammy's business?"

Shi Wenbing nodded, of course he remembered it.

Speaking of this foster mother, it is also related to the current prince.

The crown prince Yinreng was born in the middle palace, and he was established as the crown prince when he was one year old.The prince is also competitive. He is smart and eager to learn since he was a child. He was only six years old and knew everything from Chinese to Chinese. He is good at calligraphy, painting, riding and shooting. Russian is already very proficient.

Speaking of etiquette, the crown prince is notoriously filial to the emperor and the empress dowager, and he is also very kind to the younger brothers below, except for a slight discord with the elder brother.But everyone knows that the crown prince and eldest elder brother are also troubled by the elder brother first, and the prince rarely takes the initiative to trouble the elder brother.

It's not that Shi Wenbing is biased, the prince is the heir apparent after all, he is different from the elder brother and has a noble status.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that elder brother's thoughts.

Because the prince lost his mother since he was a child, it can be said that he dotes on the prince today.From the year when the crown prince was established, the emperor suddenly gave nuns to several families. All of these families were from Shangsanqi, or Ama had a noble title or an important official position, or Mafa was a super-class Duke.

At first, everyone didn't realize it, but later they were thinking about the noble daughter who was given as a nun.Only then did they discuss in private: The emperor's move clearly intends to start from a baby and train a prince concubine for the prince.

Originally, this had nothing to do with his family, his sister Erzhen was two years older than the prince, and Kangxi would not choose his sister because of his picky temperament.His daughter, Shiliu, was three years younger than the Crown Prince. He thought that the Holy Majesty would not choose his daughter, but when his daughter was born, Kangxi came to see her specially, and then bestowed her as a foster mother.

Of course, the emperor still has face, and the foster nuns were all sent down in the name of the empress dowager.

His newborn daughter was missed, and it was hard for Shi Wenbing to forget.

"Ama, but the prince?"

Duanmin Gege also met the little prince. Although she was not happy that her daughter was missed when she was born, she was happy to see the prince's status and character.Ama suddenly said this today, could it be that the prince is not good.

Shi Huashan nodded, then shook his head again, and sighed: "In May of this year, the sixth elder brother in the palace fell into the water, and the emperor lost his temper for this. After the sixth elder brother woke up, the emperor directly took him Live together in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

The emperor's move shocked countless people's jaws.You must know that it is the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where the emperor lives.Except for the crown prince who often lives with the emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, other elder brothers have this kind of treatment.

It would be fine if the sixth elder brother was only allowed to live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after all, it is inevitable for the emperor who survived the catastrophe to be nervous.Later, the emperor's series of treatment of the sixth elder brother was close to that of the crown prince. Shi Huashan sighed heavily, "The crown prince is only 11 years old, and he is still a child, and the palace always favors the low and the high. No, it has changed his temperament. "

Regardless of temperament, this is all polite, domineering, willful, extravagant and tyrannical, the present prince is completely different from before.

"The empress dowager has often argued with the emperor about this matter, but the emperor is like that, determined to spoil the sixth elder brother. He thought it was the prince who sued the empress dowager, and directly reprimanded the prince for having no brotherhood. If you don’t like a little thing, you can file a complaint, it’s useless.”

It would be serious to use the four words unbearable to the prince.

These four words are the same as directly saying that the prince is not qualified to be the crown prince.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, some people's minds fluttered in the court, and some even started to fawn on Mighty.

Wei Wu is De Concubine's Ama, and De Concubine is the biological mother of the Sixth Prince.

The sixth elder brother was born in the 19th year of Kangxi, six years younger than the prince. It is not impossible for someone like Pomegranate to marry him to the sixth elder brother after a while.

This is not the case with Empress Yuan, not to mention that Empress Yuan is one year older than Empress Yuan, even Concubine Tong Gui in the palace is also Jinshang's cousin, she is older than Empress Yuan.

Speaking of this matter, Shi Huashan didn't give a shit about it, "The empress dowager was furious, knowing that you are going back to Beijing this year, she issued an order to your mother, asking you to bring pomegranates back together."

Shi Wenbing and his wife could understand what the Empress Dowager meant without him saying much.To be honest, there are not many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty who are as prominent as the Shi family, and although the Shi family belongs to the Han Army Banner, they are out-and-out Manchurians.
