The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

Hongtong went out with Roujia for a long time, and ate something at Hengjun Wangfu, so on the way back, he saw the little guy drowsy, Roujia didn't stop him, and after returning to the mansion, he even coaxed Hongtong who was sleeping Tong hugged him back and let him continue to sleep.

Because Brother Nine is not here, Hong Jing is in Yikun Palace again, and Hong Tong, the only one who can eat with Rou Jia, is sleeping soundly on the bed, and Rou Jia, who is left alone to eat, feels really...

So cool!

No need to worry about the two little ones, Rou Jia can order whatever she wants, and ask the big kitchen to prepare Mala Tang for her, and there is no need to prepare rice for her. Today, she wants to eat fried beef that is full of wok flavor.

No matter how fast Chef Chen and the others are, it still takes time to prepare, so taking advantage of the time before the meal, Rou Jia directly called Longan over for "interrogation".

"Before I asked you what kind of husband and son-in-law you want to marry, you said you don't want to marry, right?" Rou Jia looked at Longan, who nodded, and then heard her ask, "Then why don't you want to marry? Is there a reason?"

After asking, without giving Longan a chance to answer, Roujia said, "Don't say it's because you don't want me, I've already told you, whether it's you or Putao, or even Lizhi or other girls later, as long as you want to If you do, you can come back to me as an errand after you get married."

It is said that clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old, Roujia used grapes and they used them smoothly, and they were already loyal to her, so why should she go far away?

"Don't say it's because you don't like the person I picked. If you don't like it, you can pick the one you like. I didn't force you to marry someone you don't like, did I?"

After blocking Longan's two back roads, Rou Jia looked at her and asked, "So why don't you want to marry? Is it because you already have someone you like in your heart?"

Hearing this, Longan's eyes widened suddenly, and the startled look immediately made Roujia sure that she was right: "Really? Do you have someone you like? Who is it? Do I know you? When did you know?" started?"

Longan hadn't had time to react to the surprise she was told by Roujia, but she was hit by the question she swiped like a machine gun, her eyes dazzled and her head dizzy.

"Fu Jin, how did you know about this?" Longan knew that she couldn't hide it now, but she wondered why Roujia knew?Obviously she hid it so well, she didn't even reveal a word to her closest friend, Putao.

"I'm smart." Rou Jia raised her brows, and immediately ignored her narcissism, and quickly asked Longan, "Don't change the topic for me, I just answered all the questions I asked honestly."

It's a good thing to have someone you like, so what are you afraid of letting her know?Longan has someone she likes, tell her, won't they have a lover and get married?

"Fu Jin, don't ask, anyway, I will never get married in this life."

"Why?" Roujia didn't understand, didn't she have someone she liked?But she doesn't want to marry, Roujia frowned, maybe...

She liked someone she shouldn't?

"Longan, tell me honestly, what is our relationship, are you sure you want to hide it from me?" Roujia said, "Emiang and the others were not in the capital at the beginning, when I had an accident, only you and Putao guarded me with all my heart. In my heart, you and Putao are like my relatives, I have no other requirements for you, I just hope that you will be happy in the future."

This is what Roujia said from the bottom of her heart, not just to coax Longan to tell the truth.

Hearing this, Longan hesitated again and again, and finally told Rou Jia the truth, but the name she said made Rou Jia jump.

"Who? Zhang Laishu?" Now it was Roujia's turn to be surprised. Among the people she knew was Zhang Laishu, but...

He is a eunuch.

"Not who I thought it was?"

"It's him." Now that it's started, it's not so difficult to say what follows, Longan said, "I know he's an eunuch, but I don't care."

Because there is someone hidden in her heart, even if Roujia chooses any husband-in-law for her, Longan will not look down on her.

"You don't care too much." Rou Jia felt that this matter was more troublesome than the grievances and grievances in the back house of Hengjun Wangfu. She is now glad that she was afraid that she would be thin-skinned before "interrogating" Longan, so she deliberately cleared the place in advance Otherwise, the news that Longan's sweetheart is Zhang Laishu may have spread.

"He's so good, why did you fall in love with him?" Rou Jia never imagined that these two people would have such entanglements, although they were both servants of the main courtyard, did they ever flirt with her in front of her?

Rou Jia asked carefully, "Do you like each other? Or are you hot?"

Longan is Huang Hua's daughter, when asked by Rou Jia, she couldn't help being a little shy: "He doesn't know yet."

Roujia: "..."

Come on, is she still wishful thinking?

Roujia felt even more headache: "Let's talk about why you fell in love with him?"

From Rou Jia's point of view, Zhang Laishu really had a good skin, good facial features, fair appearance, and a gentle temper. Apart from being an eunuch, he didn't seem to have any major shortcomings.

But the fact that he is a eunuch cannot be excluded at all, so Rou Jia really can't figure out how Longan would like Zhang Laishu.

"I don't know, but I have been in touch with her a lot, and my slave..." Gui Yuan was a little embarrassed to say later, although they were all serving Roujia, but at the beginning Gui Yuan and Zhang Laishu really had nothing to say.

But later Zhang Laishu helped Roujia inquire about things, and felt the charm of gossip from it, and after understanding the feeling that she couldn't wait to share with others after inquiring about the news, the two had a conversation.

At the beginning, Longan never thought that she would fall in love with a eunuch, but who knew that she would come and go again and again, and Longan let Zhang Laishu live in her heart unconsciously.

At first, Longan didn't know that she had fallen in love with Zhang Laishu, she just thought that she had something to talk about with him, so she liked to stay with him, but when Roujia decided to choose a husband for her and Putao, she asked her what kind of husband she wanted to marry. When she was her son-in-law, Zhang Laishu immediately popped into Longan's mind.

Now it is clear who her sweetheart is, but Longan knows that the Qing Dynasty is different from the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty did not allow eunuchs and court ladies to eat each other, so just after she understood her heart, Longan ruthlessly killed her love. flames.

She can't discredit Fujin, if this kind of thing is exposed, the person with a dull face must be Rou Jia, how can Longan let this kind of thing happen?

It's just that Longan didn't know that if the flame of love could be extinguished so easily, there wouldn't be so many idiots and resentful women in the world.

Longan said: "That's why slaves won't marry. Master, don't worry, slaves will definitely not tell anyone other than you."

"You." Roujia never thought that Longan, who was usually careless, laughing and cursing on her face, would hide such an important matter in her heart. She knew very well that if the person who asked her today was not her but someone else If it is, I will definitely not ask why.

She was able to ask only because Longan was worried about getting her into trouble.

"Why do you like Zhang Laishu?"

"I'm sorry, Fujin."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you sorry for me?" Seeing Longan drooping her head in front of her, looking downcast, Roujia said, "If you want to say sorry, it should be that this world has sorry for you."

If Zhang Laishu is not an eunuch, then he is indeed a good candidate. Although he is indeed a bit old, but this is also for people nowadays. In her opinion, thirty is not bad, right?

Longan is 24 years old this year, and the age difference between Zhang Laishu and Zhang Laishu is less than ten years old.

"Since you have a letter in your heart now, then I won't find you a husband and son-in-law for the time being." Rou Jia said to Longan after thinking about it, "But you have to seriously think about this kind of thing, if it's just for a while If you are impulsive, then I will find you a husband and son-in-law after the impulsiveness passes, but if you are not...then let's do it at that time."

"Fu Jin, my slave has caused you trouble." Longan felt very guilty, when this happened, it was already very lenient for a master not to care about you, not to mention Rou Jia was so considerate of her.

"It's good to know." Roujia pretended to be angry, "If you don't do things for me in the future, see if I don't deduct your monthly salary."

Hearing this, Longan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

******

Roujia said that if Longan is not impulsive, then it will be calculated at that time, but it is related to Longan's lifelong happiness, how can she not think ahead?

To be honest, Roujia was surprised that Putao chose the only younger brother among so many suitable people before, but she didn't expect Longan to be more fierce, and fell in love with a eunuch directly.

These two girls of hers will really surprise/scare her more than the other.

Rou Jia has always felt that eunuchs are the tragic products of the feudal dynasty. Rou Jia sympathizes with them, but cares more about the happiness of longan. People are like this. Get close to longan.

Under such circumstances, Roujia had to think more about Longan. To be honest, liking is an easy thing, but liking it all the time is hard. Life is not something that can be lived just by liking.

After Brother Nine came back at night, Rou Jia told him about it. It wasn't that she wanted to sell the longan, but that she had to ask He Yuzhu to help her talk to Zhang Laishu and test whether he was willing. The person you like, have you ever thought about finding a girl you like, Yuinato?

The so-called Caihu refers to the eunuch and the court lady who have met each other and lived their lives as ordinary husband and wife.

After Longan left, Roujia asked Nanny Xu a lot about eunuchs and maids in private. Longan said that the Qing Dynasty did not allow eunuchs and maids to eat together, which was right or wrong.

Because in name, Zhang Laishu and Longan do not belong to the harem, they are servants of their house, as long as they release their slave status, then they are free, so the rules and regulations of the harem cannot control them.

It can be said that for the sake of longan, Roujia tried her best to take advantage of the loopholes, because He Yuzhu was not her slave but Brother Jiu's, so Roujia didn't think about crossing Brother Jiu.

Anyway, Brother Nine is not a gossip, even if I tell him, Roujia is not worried that he will go around talking about it, after all, how can a dignified Lord Belle talk about things like eunuchs and maids eating each other?

And He Yuzhu, who was entrusted by Roujia to have a heart-to-heart talk with Zhang Laishu: "..."

Did Fujin misunderstand their eunuchs?

Charming, bullying, suppressing, framing, intrigue, borrowing a knife to kill, etc. They all know it, but what the hell is heart-to-heart talk?

They don't need to have this skill to be eunuchs!

Serious eunuch who talk heart to heart?Anyway, if he doesn't talk about it, who can speak his mind?How can what you say be true?

But Fujin handed over the task, so what can He Yuzhu do?

I can only reluctantly be an unscrupulous eunuch once.

After Rou Jia told Brother Jiu about the longan, she also told him about the Prince Heng's Mansion. She didn't want to complain about Fifth Master, but he was also Hong Yi's uncle. She knew about it. , it's not good not to tell Brother Nine.

As for who Longan likes, it's not an important thing for Brother Jiu, so he didn't express any opinions, but after listening to Roujia's talk about the affairs of Hengjun Wangfu, he couldn't help but "tsk", and immediately Said: "Fifth brother is really getting more and more confused."

The ancients said that if the wives and concubines are not separated, the family will be in chaos, and if the concubines are not separated, the clan will be in chaos. It is the nature of parents to love their children, but to love their children indiscriminately is not to love the children, but to harm the children.

"If the fifth sister-in-law hadn't given birth to Hongyi, then if there is no accident, Hongsheng will definitely be the heir to the palace in the future. You see how the fifth brother treated Hongsheng and his beloved concubine before Hongyi was born? But fifth sister-in-law is pregnant She got on, and gave birth to Fifth Brother's son."

Brother Jiu said, "If Fifth Brother is smart, then he should have established a rule at that time, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, let Hongsheng and his concubine recognize their identities, and don't want to think about things that don't belong to them." Things, among other things, at least in the past few years they will definitely stop a lot."

"However, fifth brother is not. The first son was born, and he felt sorry for his eldest son who would not be able to become the heir of the palace in the future, so he favored him a little bit, which fueled their ambitions. Otherwise, fifth brother established the rules, who would dare to say so clearly?" Is it possible to mess around?"

Look at what Kangxi did at the beginning?

When the crown prince was still Douding's age, even his elder brother had to kneel down to pay his respects to him. This was certainly not conducive to the cultivation of feelings between brothers, but Kangxi was indeed much more sober than the fifth master in terms of dividing his sons and concubines.

"Fifth brother, he is an honest person when he walks out of the palace, and he is a fool when he enters the palace." Brother Jiu really didn't think highly of his brother, although he really had nothing to say about his younger brother, but Doesn't mean he agrees with what he did.

Especially in the past few years, I have done a lot of things with the fourth master, and the ninth elder brother is even more despised. To make Wu Fujin pregnant, since he made Wu Fujin pregnant and gave birth to a son, he should come up with the regulations.

In the end, he was confused. Believe it or not, in the future, the eldest son will blame him, and the first son will not get close to him?Brother Nine shook his head secretly, then looked at Roujia with a smile, and gave her a smug smile: "Compared to Sister-in-law Fifth, you now know how good Master treats you, right?"

If you say that you can't make a side Fujin, you can't make a side Fujin, if you say she is the only woman, then you are the only woman, if you say you will only have a baby with her, then you will only have a baby with her.

"Did I treat you badly?" Rou Jia raised her brows, "It seems that I am not the only man with you, and I am not the only one with whom I have children."

Brother Nine: "..."

What she said was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it.

"Let's eat." Brother Nine brought a piece of char siu for Rou Jia. The char siew made from half-fat tenderloin has a bright color. During the process, a layer of caramel is brushed on the tenderloin, so that the caramel is combined with the oil in the fire. When you eat it, it is burnt on the outside and soft on the inside. When you chew carefully, there is a sweetness of sugar.

This char siu is also one of Hongjing and Hongtong's favorites. It tastes sweet but not too sweet. I don't know if it's because Roujia can eat it, or because Hongjing and Hongtong are not very picky, anyway. Regarding the matter of eating, Roujia and Brother Jiu didn't worry much about their little brothers.

******

Roujia didn't know if Brother Nine had a private conversation with Lord Wu after he found out what happened in the Prince Heng's mansion from himself. But the fourth master's mansion entered.

It's not that Rou Jia pays too much attention to Siye's mansion, but that the person Kangxi pointed out to Siye this time is the little rice cake she has been paying attention to before.

Because Roujia doesn't live in the palace, she doesn't have as much contact with beautiful women as other empresses do, but she knows a lot about Nian's. It's because of her great looks.

It is said that many empresses in the harem regard Nian as their number one rival. If such a person enters the harem, they will be the next concubine if they fail to keep up. You must know the biggest reason why the concubine was able to achieve a triple jump in promotion and salary. It is because of her good looks that she won Kangxi's sacred heart.

Especially this year, Nianshi is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a bit of the tenderness of Jiangnan women. He walks like a weak willow and supports the wind, and there is an endless natural romance between every frown and smile, which is really touching .

How could this not make the women in the harem feel like they are facing a formidable enemy?High-ranking concubines like Concubine Yi and the others are not taken seriously, but low-ranking concubines are not necessarily, such as He Concubine, Secret Concubine and others.

Although it is said that the concubine and concubine had a good time after entering the palace, it is already a day gone by, and concubine secret has given birth to three sons, but Kangxi can't stand Kangxi's delay in giving her a promotion, so concubine secret does not dare to act like a concubine. Concubine Yi and the others don't care.

After the general election was over and the whereabouts of Nian's family was settled, the women in the harem were relieved. Although it was said that women should make things difficult for women, it's just that this kind of thing is of course a dead fellow.

Regarding the fact that Nianshi was accused of being married to Fourth Master as a side Fujin, some people envied it, and some watched the fun, and there were also people who cared about Sifujin.

Although the side Fujin is said to be a concubine, it is different from Ge Ge who was carried in a small sedan chair. The side Fujin needs to worship the heaven and the earth, which is probably something no concubine would like to see.

So afterwards, Rou Jia found a reason to ask Si Fujin to go out for a stroll. Her purpose was to relieve Si Fujin's worries, but she didn't expect that she, the client, accepted this she had to accept faster than her. fact.

"You want to comfort me? No need." Si Fujin laughed, "I've already prepared for it. The Li family and the Song family in our house have been imprisoned. In addition to me, the Niu Colu family, and the Geng family , apart from Mrs. Wu and the three concubines, there is no one else, and our house may not have any newcomers for a long time, and it looks ridiculous, so Er Niang has already told me before the general election, this time we The mansion will come in."

It's just that I didn't expect that someone like Nianshi would be included in the end.

"This is shameless, so wouldn't our family be even more shameless?" Rou Jia said this not to show off, but to defend Si Fujin's injustice, and she knew that the only person who would speak shamelessly was Concubine De It's Defei.

After all, if it were Kangxi, he would just point at the person directly, so why would he need to notify the person in advance?

Speaking of Concubine De, Rou Jia wanted to shake her head. After all, everyone knew her partiality, not only for her two sons, but also for her two daughters-in-law. This is a society that values ​​filial piety, so even if No matter what happened to Concubine De, Fourth Master and Si Fujin had to treat her respectfully.

Hey, it's also a headache.

Si Fujin was born and bred by an aborigine, she may understand and accept such things as taking concubines, but Roujia doesn't believe that she will be sad, after all, she and Fourth Master are not without feelings.

So Roujia said to her: "Anyway, if you have any unhappy fourth sister-in-law, you can tell me, although...well, although I can't help much, but tell me, you will feel much more comfortable. "

"Okay, if there is anything unhappy in the future, I will definitely tell you, and then you just don't think I'm annoying." Sifujin said with a smile, knowing that Roujia cared about herself, she also told her the truth, "If you don't If you are sad, it must be a lie, but what can you do? Huang Ama has already made an order, so I have to accept it, but fortunately our master is very disciplined, and..."

Speaking of this, Sifujin's smile became a little more shy like a girl, "And our master said, this time, when we go to escape the summer outside the Great Wall, we will only take me, Honghui and Yuludai, and no one else."

Seeing Si Fujin like this, Rou Jia knew that she felt happy from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Miss Sister is too easy to coax?

but……

"That's great. Not only will I have companions, but Hongjing and the others will also have companions." The name of Brother Jiu is also on the list of entourages on this tour outside the Great Wall, so Roujia and the others will also travel as a family of four .

Roujia and Sifujin were very happy because they were able to go on a tour together, but they didn't expect that this trip to Mongolia would be full of ups and downs and dangers.
