The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

The people entering the palace today are the Empress Dowager's younger siblings Bo Qi's wife Bo Shi and his daughter-in-law Suo Chuo Luo Shi. Because of the fourth master's ascension to the throne, not only his birth mother Concubine De was promoted to Empress Dowager, but his younger brother also inherited the first-class prince in the first year of Yongzheng.

So it can be said that the entire Wuya clan changed their family because of the fourth master's ascension to the throne. They originally thought that their Wuya clan's good days were coming.

We must know that the Tong Jia family back then achieved enlightenment alone because of Kangxi's ascension to the throne, and became the hottest relatives of the emperor in Beijing. Since then, the Tong Jia family has entered a new era of glory and prosperity?

It is precisely because of the example of Tong Jia's family that Wuya's family is so excited. After Kangxi's death, the fourth master began to imagine that their Wuya family would become one of the best in Beijing from now on. Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that the fourth master is not Kangxi, and under the influence of the queen mother, the people of the Wuya clan treat the fourteenth elder brother far better than the fourth master. It's not that they dare to neglect the fourth master, or put on airs of elders in front of the fourth master , It's just that he is not close to fourth master.

So after the fourth master came to power, he was indeed given the queen mother's younger brother Bo Qi as the first-class prince according to the usual practice. There was a great-grandfather, E Bogen, who was the first-class prince, and allowed their first-class princes to be hereditary, and even allowed all the Wuya clan to enter the banner.

But that's all, there's nothing more.

This is very different from what people of the Wuya clan imagined, because the Tong Jia clan not only pursued the title and inherited the first-class prince, but also the two uncles, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, were reused. Needless to say, otherwise, how can it be called a Guisheng?

But even if there was a big gap between reality and ideals, none of the Wuya clan dared to express their dissatisfaction in front of Fourth Master, because if they didn't tell Fourth Master how they treated him back then, it didn't mean they had forgotten.

In the early years, they were indeed influenced by the queen mother, and they were lukewarm towards the fourth master. Later, they showed their favor to the fourteenth elder brother because he was promising. In the end, no one thought that the person who finally succeeded in taking the position was the fourth master. Lord.

Because of this, not only did the guilty Wuya clan dare not express their dissatisfaction to Fourth Master, they even wondered from his attitude towards them whether Fourth Master was dissatisfied with them?

In fact, the people of the Wuya clan think too much, and the fourth master is not dissatisfied with them. Of course, he is not satisfied at all. His elders pursued him as the first-class duke, and let Bo Qi inherit the first-class duke and it was over.

The main reason is that no matter whether it is Bo Qi or the children of the Wu Ya clan, few of them have any real materials. If Bo Qi is as good at military as his father or grandfather, the fourth master will not be because of Wu Ya. The whole family deliberately suppressed him because of their indifference to him.

But neither Bo Qiwen nor Wu, so what can fourth master do?

We can only let him be a first-class official, after all, fourth master knows too well the truth that the size of the head is the size of the hat.

It's just that the fourth master knows the truth, but the people of the Wuya clan may not know it. They don't make noise, but it's because they don't dare to make noise.

So it has been more than three years since the fourth master came to the throne, and the Wuya clan has not caused any trouble, but this time the fourth master wants to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is also anti-corruption and anti-corruption. The Wuya clan did not respond when they checked the money and food and made up for the shortfall.

It's not that it has nothing to do with them at all, it's just that it doesn't matter much.

But this time is different. As the coat of the Manchu Zhenghuang Banner, even if not all members of their Wuya clan work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is definitely the foundation for them to live and work.

Besides, they knew what was going on in other people's homes, let alone their own?Once it is rectified, something will happen to the Wuya clan, that's why they rushed to send a post to the queen mother after the fourth master made an order, asking her to enter the palace for help.

"Your Majesty, you have to have a good talk with the Emperor." After greeting the Empress Dowager, Mrs. Bai couldn't wait to tell her, "Our Wuya clan is also the mother clan of the Emperor. You said that if he really doesn't stay If we rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs sympathetically, wouldn’t it mean that the flood would wash up the Dragon King Temple and our own family would beat our own family?”

Moreover, the problems in the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not form in a day or two. They existed long before Fourth Master came to power. Are they asking for trouble?

Of course, Mrs. Bo is not stupid, so it is impossible to say such words directly, but even so, the Empress Dowager frowned because of what she just said.

"Why panic? The emperor issued an order before you, and you entered the palace with your hind feet. This is because you are afraid that others will not know what you want to do when you enter the palace, right?" The queen mother did not expect that the fourth master would suddenly issue such an order. Like the Wuya clan, including the coat coaters of the Three Banners in the House of Internal Affairs, the Queen Mother was not very happy.

Just like what Bai said, the Wuya clan is Si Ye's mother clan, which is her natal family. As a girl of the Wuya clan, the Queen Mother naturally doesn't want anything to happen to her natal family.

Moreover, the fourth master knew the situation of the Wuya clan, but still ordered to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which made the queen mother not only unhappy, but even a little bit dissatisfied with him.

It really is the white-eyed wolf raised by Tong Jiashi. Even though she is his biological mother, he has been close to Tong Jiashi since he was a child. After Tong Jiashi passed away, he returned to her side, and he would not treat her She said something soft and soft, so the Queen Mother always felt that her eldest son was born for nothing.

But she thought so in her heart, but the queen mother couldn't express it directly. When the fourth master was only the prince, the queen mother was at most not close to him, and she didn't mean anything to him. After all, Kangxi was watching from above at that time. It's on.

The queen mother knew very well why she got the title of "virtue", and compared with other concubines, the queen mother did not have much confidence, so after climbing to a high position, the queen mother did not dare to relax for a moment.

After the fourth master ascended the throne, the queen mother will not express her dislike and dissatisfaction with him at will, because the queen mother has always been a person who knows the current affairs, although among the two sons, she prefers the youngest son who is ten years old. Fourth elder brother, if she had a choice, she also hoped that the one who would inherit the throne would be fourteenth elder brother.

But the fact has already happened, how could the Empress Dowager risk the world to do some stupid things under the circumstances that cannot be changed?

It's just that the queen mother didn't expect that she wanted to be a law-abiding queen mother, and didn't even ask for anything for her natal family, but the fourth master wanted to kill them all.

That's right, he always thought that Tong Jia's family was his biological mother-in-law, and Tong Jia's clan was his mother clan, so how could he put her and Wu Ya's clan in his eyes?

The queen mother sneered from the bottom of her heart, and the emotions in her heart were not suppressed at once, and it was shown on the queen mother's face.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bo, who thought she was coming for them, was a little flustered, but she felt a little bit wronged for herself. The daughter-in-law Suo Chuoluo, who was beside her, saw it, and was afraid that her mother-in-law would say something unpleasant to anger the Queen Mother, so she Before she could speak, she said: "Your Majesty, it's not that we want to enter the palace to disturb you, it's because something happened suddenly and Ama had no idea, so I let Er Niang and I enter the palace to beg you for an idea. "

Although Suo Chuo Luo's age is not as old as Bai's, his words are much nicer than Bai's, and Suo Chuo Luo knows that only his father-in-law Bo Qi is the most concerned by the Queen Mother, so he took the initiative to mention Bo Qi. No amount of anger will surely dissipate.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Originally, the queen mother was willing to let them enter the palace, but she was worried that Bo Qi and the others would run around like headless chickens outside. I didn't take it to heart either.

If it weren't for their family's lack of conditions back then, they wouldn't have been able to marry Ding Boqi, the only male in the family, to a wife like Bai, who didn't have much knowledge and family background.

Because she saw Bo Qi's incompetence with her own eyes, when it was Bo Qi's son's turn to marry, the queen mother stepped in and hired Suo Chuo Luo for him. Facts have proved that her daughter-in-law is much smarter than her mother-in-law.

"The House of Internal Affairs is not limited to people from our Wuya family working in it. Why are you so flustered?" The queen mother said, "The emperor is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know what kind of contribution our Shangsanqi coating has made for the royal family. Someone told him, besides, even if the emperor is really determined to go his own way, do you think Aijia will stand by and watch?"

It is true that the queen mother will not trouble fourth masters for no reason, but if he wants to cause trouble for them, the queen mother will not swallow his anger and let him go.

That is true.

Hearing what the queen mother said, the Bai family and Suo Chuo Luo family were immediately relieved. You must know that the biggest backer of their Wuya clan is undoubtedly the queen mother. Even if the fourth master is not close to them, the queen mother is still his biological mother. No matter what, he couldn't be unfilial to her.

So as long as the Empress Dowager is willing to protect them, then their Wuya clan will be safe and sound. Therefore, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Bo family and the Suo Chuo Luo family leave the palace, they are much more at ease than when they entered the palace.

After they left, the Empress Dowager sent someone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to invite the fourth master to have dinner tonight, and Nanny Cai, who was serving beside her, couldn't help but said, "Madam, this uncle, wife and young lady just entered the palace today, so why don't you Doesn't it seem a little impatient to ask the emperor to come here soon?"

Cai Momo and the Queen Mother have been in a master-servant relationship for many years, so Cai Momo is a little less cautious when speaking in front of her.

"You also said that Mrs. Bo and the others have entered the palace today, and other people don't need to inquire about their purpose of entering the palace. If this is the case, then there is no need to deal with those foolish people."

The Empress Dowager had her own thoughts, "Besides, it will change if it is too late. If you don't say hello to the emperor in advance, maybe he will really treat everyone equally. You don't know how stern and selfless my son is."

Stern and selfless was originally a commendatory word, but when the queen mother said it to describe fourth master, it had a derogatory meaning.

Nanny Cai is also well aware of the relationship between the Queen Mother and Fourth Master, and she wanted to ease the situation for their mother and son, but she also knew that it would be useless, because she had already persuaded the Queen Mother a few years ago. When Tong Jiashi came back, even though she hadn't been raised by her side since she was a child, her blood relationship was unbroken.

As long as the queen mother is willing to make up for the mother-child relationship between the two, how can it be impossible to make up?

It's a pity that the Queen Mother didn't listen to persuasion. After serving her for so long, Madam Cai didn't know that she was actually very stubborn and basically didn't listen to persuasion. So as time went by, Madam Cai gave up.

Seeing the empress dowager's firm attitude now, Nanny Cai had no choice but to send someone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to invite the fourth master. Originally, she thought that the relationship between their mother and son was not good. How should she remedy it.

But he didn't expect fourth master to come in the end.

Of course the fourth master came, if he didn't come, how would he know what his mother-in-law would do?

It's not that the fourth master has never had dinner with the queen mother, but every time they eat, their atmosphere is not harmonious. Of course, it's not harmonious, it's just like two people sharing a table to eat, you eat yours, I eat mine Yes, just eat it.

But this time it was an exception, probably because of asking for help from others, so the queen mother also spoke respectfully at the dinner table: "Aijia remembers that the king's prefect eight-treasure tofu is the emperor's favorite food. Today, Aijia specially made the imperial meal The person in the room made it, the emperor, you have to try it."

It's rare.

Fourth master sighed in his heart, he had eaten with the queen mother so many times, and this was the first time he heard her tell the imperial dining room to give him what he wanted to eat.

This Wang Taishou Babao tofu is indeed the fourth master's favorite. Pour the shaved pine nuts, ham, mushrooms, Xiangtan, melon seeds, chicken and other ingredients into the thick chicken soup that has been boiled, and then add The tender tofu made in advance is stewed into a soup. The Wang Taishou Babao tofu tastes fresh and tender, and the light taste is definitely in line with Si Ye's appetite.

Fourth master didn't know if the queen mother always knew his taste and just didn't care, or if she suddenly sent someone to check, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that the queen mother must have asked for something in doing so.

Sure enough, after the fourth master and the queen mother finished their meal, she mentioned to him the matter of rectifying the House of Internal Affairs.

"Emperor, you also know that your uncle has never been very capable, so after you ascended the throne, the Ai family did not ask them for an official position. Now their family relies on the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support their families. I can't bear to see your uncle has to travel around for three meals a day when he is old."

The queen mother's words sounded good. She did not ask for an official position from the fourth master, but that was not because she had a clear distinction between public and private affairs, but because she knew that if she did not represent the fourth master, she would give it.

Don't say it, I just want to save face for myself.

"Emperor mother, do you want me to turn a blind eye to my uncle's family when I'm rectifying the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" She translated what she meant.

After this translation, the Empress Dowager's face was not very good-looking. She thought that it was not unreasonable for her not to like this son. It would be good to know some things well, why would she say it?

However, the empress dowager, who was complaining in her heart, had no choice but to say: "The Wuya clan is also the emperor's mother clan. If something happens, your face will not look good."

Just like Tong Jia's family at the beginning, why did Kangxi protect and protect so much, even when Long Kedo murdered the emperor's grandson, why didn't he directly punish him?Part of that is just not wanting to embarrass myself.

If such a scandal happened to his mother and wife family, even though Kangxi was the victim's family, he would also be ashamed.

"Then it depends on what the fourteenth brother wants." The fourth master didn't argue with the queen mother. If something happened to the Wuya clan, the most embarrassing person would definitely not be the fourth master, but the queen mother.

Originally, because of her birth, she lacked confidence. If something happened to her natal family, others might not dare to say anything in front of her, but ridicule behind her back would definitely be indispensable.

"Fourteen?" The queen mother frowned. She thought that the fourth master would refuse, but she didn't expect that he would involve the fourteenth elder brother. She immediately asked, "What does this have to do with the fourteenth? Emperor, if you don't want to agree to the Aijia If so, there is no need to bring Fourteen into it."

"Your Majesty is worrying too much." The fourth master said, "The reason why I mentioned the fourteenth brother is because I have already decreed to hand over the rectification of the House of Internal Affairs to the seventh brother, and the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers will handle it together. , As for how they want to deal with it, how to deal with it, I don't know, after all, I only want one result."

Fourth master had already guessed that the queen mother would come forward to intercede before making the decree. Although as long as he persisted, the queen mother would have nothing to do with him, but why bother?

The fourth master, who no longer expects the mother-child relationship with the queen mother, can calmly come up with such a countermeasure. For the queen mother, he and the fourteenth brother have never had a relationship between the palm of the hand and the back of the hand, but the fourteenth brother And Bo Qi is.

The queen mother who never expected that the fourth master would do this suddenly turned very ugly, but the fourth master turned a blind eye. After coming out of the queen mother's palace, the fourth master felt a little happy for the first time.

When making a choice between him and the fourteenth brother, the queen mother always chose the fourteenth brother without hesitation, so he will have to see this time, will the queen mother choose the fourteenth brother as always, or will she choose the fourteenth brother? Choose a younger brother who is a sibling of his own mother.

******

It was the same meal, but Roujia and Brother Jiu had a much more lively and happy meal. The unscrupulous parents left the four children at home and came out to Ruyi Building to live a world of two.

Before Hongjing was born, Roujia and Brother Jiu had a lot of meals, but since Hongjing was born, such opportunities have become less and less, and after Hongtong, sisters and sisters were all born, it became even rarer There are very few of them.

So tonight it was rare for the couple to come out to support their feet (eating together), Rou Jia felt inexplicably touched, no wonder people said that after the couple had a child, their lives basically revolved around the child.

Looking at Brother Jiu who was sitting opposite her, Rou Jia suddenly felt emotional, because she suddenly discovered that it was more than ten years ago that she first met Brother Jiu.

For more than ten years, the impact of these three short words on Roujia was not ordinary. She was already prepared to die alone when she crossed over, but she and Brother Nine were actually holding hands. After walking hand in hand for more than ten years, four children have already been born.

If this were the case back then, Rou Jia would not even dare to think about it, because she never thought that she would not get tired of being right with someone for more than ten years.

Well, it must be because Brother Nine is well maintained.

Looking at Brother Jiu's handsome face, Rou Jia said to him sincerely: "Brother Jiu, promise me that you will maintain your figure and face for ten years, okay?"

Brother Jiu who just took out a piece of ham from the pot: "..."

Does she not want him to eat it?Still don't want him to eat?

The author has something to say: I don't think the fourth master needs to confront the queen mother head-on, anyway, just hit the snake seven inches, just push the fourteenth elder brother out, why should the majestic king of a country waste time and energy on her.

When I wrote it for more than ten years, I suddenly felt a little bit emotional, Roujia and Jiu Ge have been together for so long [Shocked]

I suddenly wanted to write a small episode of parallel time and space, where Brother Jiu traveled to the Qing Dynasty in history (not necessarily)?Is there a sweetheart you want to see?

And the previous chapter was modified after sweetheart's reminder, one egg and one tael of silver.
