The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

It stands to reason that if a person still ends up in failure after struggling for a small half of his life, this person will definitely be hit hard, and it is not impossible that he will even never recover from it.

But Ba Ye is not such a person.

If failure could crush him, he would not have survived again and again, let alone not giving up his ambition so far.

Of course, now that the fourth master has secured the throne, unless he seeks to usurp the throne, it is absolutely impossible for him to become the master of the world in the Qing Dynasty, so when he decided to support the fourteenth elder brother, the eighth master My ambition is no longer to sit on that dragon chair myself, but to help others sit on that dragon chair.

Now his ambition has not changed, but it was for himself before, but now it is for the future of his son and daughter.

Of course, his own children are the best in the eyes of Ba Ye, his own Ama, but no matter how strong the filter of Ba Ye's loving father is, he has to admit that it is impossible for Hongwang to have any great achievements in this life.

It's not that Ba Ye belittled his own child, and I don't know if it's because of premature birth. Hongwang, who was small and frail and only a child, grew up under the careful care of everyone in Ba Ye's house. He was like a greenhouse. Like the flowers in the garden, they can't stand any wind and rain at all.

It's not that Ba Ye doesn't want to train him, after all, which father doesn't want his son to be like himself?But Hongwang is really not like him, but more like his biological mother Zhang Gege.

The heart is not bad, but he is not very courageous, and he is coquettish. Such a child is also at a loss because he is the only one in the family, and his only sibling is his sister. There are no other brothers to compete with him and squeeze him. The source of survival, otherwise, it will definitely be the one that suffers.

It is said that raising a child is a hundred years old and worrying about 99 years old. Before becoming a father, Ba Ye could not understand the profound meaning of this sentence, but he deeply understood it.

Because he is the father of two children.

Of course, Ba Ye hopes that he can live a long life and walk behind the two children, so that he can take good care of their siblings, but if nothing else happens, Ba Ye must be ahead of them.

Of course, he didn't want any surprises.

Therefore, Ba Ye must pave the way for Hongwang and Da Gege before such a thing happens, so that they will be carefree and happy for a lifetime.

In terms of age, Hongwang, Honghui, and Hongyun are relatively close in age, and they are studying in the study room at the same time. If they can make friends, they can indeed form a deep brotherhood.

Among the two princes, Hong Hui and Hong Yun, the eighth master is actually more optimistic about Hong Hui. He is also a legitimate son, but he does not have a concubine elder brother like the original prince.

Honghui is both the eldest son and the first wife, and there are no major flaws in temperament, character and ability, so if the fourth master made him the prince, it would be reasonable.

But becoming a crown prince does not mean being able to become an emperor, just like the crown prince back then is a good example, and Honghui has better-connected cousins ​​such as Hongjing Hongqing and Hongxuan, so if Honghui takes the position , even if he wanted to find a right-hand man, Hongwang couldn't be ranked at all.

But Hong Yun...

Eighth Master recalled the usual performance of this second elder brother, and found that he was also ranked second, let alone half, and Hong Yun didn't even have a tenth of the ability of his second elder brother who was a waste prince.

So support him?Ba Ye felt that it would be as difficult as going to the blue sky. Although such a person is easier to control, but it's not that Ba Ye has never stumbled on such a thing.

So after thinking about it seriously, Ba Ye felt that he should take a closer look at it for the time being, and don't rush to place bets. Anyway, looking at his fourth brother's body, it doesn't seem like his fate to die young.

At worst, make two-handed preparations, let Hongwang continue to get close to Honghui, and at the same time let him see if there is any prince worthy of support.

If there is, and it succeeds, then naturally it is the best, but if not, or if there is but fails in the end, Eighth Master also feels that with the temperament of Fourth Master and Honghui, it is impossible for them to vent their anger on Hongwang.

It can be said that Ba Ye has racked his brains for Hongwang's future. Even if he has done a lot of bad things, he is not a good person, but he is indeed a kind father to Hongwang and Da Gege. up.

And the fourth master is also kind to his family's big brother Yebuchunge. Yebuchunge, who was born in Kangxi 34, is already 19 years old (imaginary), and this age is not young at this time. So even if the fourth master was reluctant to give up, it was impossible to keep the eldest daughter and prevent her from getting married.

After all, girls don't stay in college, and if they stay, they will become enemies. Fourth Master knows that no matter how important his parents are, the people who accompany him to the end are his pillow people. It is precisely because of this that Fourth Master passed by when choosing a son-in-law. After careful consideration, it was finally decided that Yebuchunge's son-in-law was Nala Xingde.

The Nala family was a common surname in Manchuria in the Qing Dynasty. In addition to Hadanara, Yehenara, and Huifanara, there was Ulanara, and Xingde was the Ulanara family. Supported.

Although Xingde and the Empress have the same surname Ulanara, they are not from the same branch, and they are not even in the same banner.

Originally, the fourth master really thought about marrying Yebu Chunge to the queen's natal family, so that the two surnames would be good. At that time, the fourth master thought that Hong Hui and Hong Yun were brothers. They were born and grew up together, if the relationship between the two can be closer, it will be good for both of them.

But when fourth master thought this way at the beginning, how could he have thought that Li's murder of Honghui would happen later?

So fourth master's plan came to nothing. No matter how much he hoped that his wives and concubines could be as close as a family, he still knew that the hatred of his son was irreconcilable.

Based on what Li Shi did at the beginning, how could the queen and even the Ulanara clan behind her have no objection to Li Shi?And how can you treat Yebu Chunge with a normal heart?

Even if she is innocent and innocent in this matter, her biological mother is not.

Although the fourth master knew that because of her status as a princess, if the children of the Wulanala clan married Yebu Chunge, they would not dare to spoil her, but the abuse in the world is not the only one.

and……

Fourth master remembered how he felt when he found out that Honghui was murdered, because Li's contribution to childbirth and not being able to hold her accountable made him ashamed of Ulanara, so fourth master didn't want to wrong her anymore.

Therefore, in order that Yebu Chunge would not be ruined, and that the Ulanara family did not have to compromise, the fourth master excluded the children of the Ulanara clan from the Zhenghuang Banner, and chose Ulanara Xing from the Zhengbai Banner after careful selection. Germany.

Although Xingde's family background is not obvious, he is gentle, handsome, talented and capable of riding and shooting. What's more rare is that he is about the same age as Yebu Chunge but has not married yet, and there is no mess in the house.

So even though the fourth master is the father-in-law who chooses his son-in-law, he is very satisfied with Xingde and thinks he is a good match for Yebu Chunge.

But the fourth master did not act arbitrarily, after all, he was picking a husband for his eldest daughter, so it was very important whether she liked her, so the fourth master sent someone to invite Yebu Chunge to the Hall of Mental Cultivation that day.

"Daughter send greetings to Huang Ama." Yebu Chunge, who is nearly [-] years old, came out slim. Her biological mother's IQ is not high, but her appearance is indeed outstanding, so Yebu inherited her biological mother's beauty. Chunge looks naturally beautiful in his best years.

Because she is the fourth master's first daughter, even if she is a concubine, but because her biological mother was favored, Yuludai was the only one in the family before she was born, so it can be said that Yebu Chunge grew up in the fourth master's favor since childhood of.

So in front of the fourth master, Yebu Chunge acted more at ease than her younger brother Hong Yun, after greeting the fourth master, she naturally approached the fourth master with a smile: "What is Huang Ama calling my daughter over for? Could it be that you are tired and want your daughter to beat Huang Ama's shoulders?"

As soon as Yebu Chunge finished speaking, Fourth Master couldn't stop showing a smile on his face, so it's no wonder that everyone said that his daughter was his parents' little padded jacket, Fourth Master thought it was very reasonable.

"Yebu Chunge has a heart. If your sister can be a little more caring than you, I won't have a headache when I see her." Although the fourth master complained like this, no one could hear his tone. Lu Dai's pampering and love.

"Yuludai is just young." Yebu Chunge said with a smile, "Did Huang Ama forget that her daughter was also naughty when she was young?"

"No matter how naughty you are, you can't be as naughty as Yu Ludai." The fourth master shook his head with a headache, "When I was the prince, what I hated the most was that your ninth uncle and tenth uncle became a member of the palace at a young age. Ba, it turned out to be good now, I became the emperor, but my daughter became the tyrant of the palace."

Speaking of this, fourth master really has a headache, "Now I have to bring my sisters and sisters to mess around, I can even imagine how the three sisters will dominate the palace in the future."

When the fourth master said these words, he didn't notice the expression on Yebu Chunge's face, but he noticed that his words became more and more biased, so he said immediately: "Let's not talk about your sisters, let's talk about it first Talk about your business."

"My business?" Yebuchunge asked, "Huang Ama, what can my daughter do?"

"What do you think? Of course it's your marriage." The fourth master said, "Because of your emperor Mafa's death, you followed the filial piety, so your marriage was also delayed. There can be no delay."

"Huang Ama..." Although he had expected it, Yebuchunge couldn't help but blush when he talked about his marriage, "My daughter won't marry, and she will stay by your side for the rest of her life."

The fourth master just laughed. Hearing these words made him feel very ironic, but he couldn't really agree to her: "I know your filial piety, but my daughter still has to marry when it's time for her to marry. Besides, even if you Married, she is still my daughter, and the imperial palace is still your home, if you want to come back, come back, I will see who dares to stop you."

Yebu Chunge was so moved by the fourth master's words that her eyes turned red, because she knew that what he said was sincere, but Yebu Chunge's touch was limited to before she knew who the fourth master had chosen for her .

After knowing that the candidate for the forehead that Fourth Master was looking for was Xingde, she was stunned for a moment: "Nala Xingde?"

This name sounded too strange, at least Yebu Chunge was sure that she had never heard of it before, she looked at Fourth Master, who introduced her to this candidate for forehead consort.

After the fourth master finished his introduction, Yebu Chunge finally knew why he hadn't heard of Xingde's name, because he was not a son of a prominent Manchurian family, and except for his grandfather's reputation, the other elders were all mediocre. man of.

"Whoever a royal married woman marries is a low marriage. The reason why I chose Xingde is because they have a good family style and don't have so many messy things." The fourth master said to Yebu Chunge carefully, "Although you After you get married, you can live in the Princess Mansion, but if your mother-in-law is unkind and your sister-in-law is unkind, there will still be people who will hinder you in your life."

It can be said that the fourth master really considered all aspects in choosing a husband and son-in-law for Yebu Chunge's daughter. Otherwise, he is a big man, why should he consider the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and sister-in-law for her?

It's just that Fourth Master's painstaking efforts, Yebu Chunge can't feel it, even if she knows that Fourth Master is not lying, Xingde may be really good, but just one thing - not showing his family background is enough to make Yebu Chunge not want to marry him up.

Although Si Ye was right that no matter who the royal married daughter married, she would marry lowly, but there was still a big difference between marrying lowly to a prominent Manchurian family or lowly to ordinary people.

Yebu Chunge knew very well that a woman obeys her father at home, her husband when she gets married, and her son after her husband dies. Before Yuludai was born, even if Yebu Chunge knew that she was born of a concubine, she didn't care too much, because other people's families obeyed her husband. Perhaps none of Princess is as favored as her.

But after Yuludai was born, Yebu Chunge's status as a concubine was like a stick in her throat, which made her very uncomfortable. Even though the fourth master and Ulanala family didn't treat her badly, in many written rules, she always It's Yu Ludai who has one head, so how can Yebu Chunge not envy and hate Yuludai?

Obviously she is the big princess of the palace, but when people go out to socialize, others praise Yu Ludai more. Just because she is a descendant, is she destined to be superior to her for the rest of her life?

Yebu Chunge refused to accept it.

So this Nala Xingde will definitely not marry. Before she got married, she lost to Yu Ludai because of her status. Children will also be overwhelmed by Yuludai's children.

It's just that Yebu Chunge knew very well that she couldn't tell fourth master these words directly, and she couldn't even reveal the slightest meaning, because she didn't want to be such a utilitarian person in front of Huang Ama.

So when Fourth Master asked her opinion, Yebu Chunge said shyly: "Huang Ama said yes, of course it is good, but my daughter has never seen him, and Erniang didn't know about it..."

The fourth master, who didn't know Yebu Chunge's real thoughts, said after hearing the words: "Of course, I will arrange for you to meet, if you are not satisfied, I will choose another one for you. Will mention it to her."

Yebu Chunge responded with a smile, and she left the Hall of Mental Cultivation after finishing her meal with Fourth Master, and then went to Mrs. Li's bedroom.

In the past three years of keeping her filial piety, because Li Shi kept herself safe and did not act as a demon again, after she was removed from service, the fourth master promoted her to the throne, and now she is Qi Concubine.

In the entire harem, apart from the empress, Concubine Qi is the second eldest, plus there are two princes and one princess under her knees, so even if she did something wrong at the beginning, Concubine Qi is still very prosperous now.

Although Concubine Qi is somewhat patriarchal, but Yebu Chunge is her first child after all, and Fourth Master is a daughter slave, so whether it is because of her own flesh and blood, or acting for Fourth Master, Concubine Qi still loves her Jeb Chung's.

In the past three years of filial piety, Concubine Qi didn't do anything wrong, but sent someone to secretly investigate all the outstanding unmarried youths of the right age in Beijing. Although Concubine Qi's IQ is not high, she also knows that a good in-law will What a help they bring.

Even if Concubine Qi is unwilling, she has to admit that her natal family is indeed inferior to the Queen's natal family. Even if the Queen's brothers are not very promising, who will let her have a good father?

Fei Yanggu, the father of the Wulanala family, was raised by Huang Taiji's order in the inner court. After growing up, he was awarded the title of third-class bodyguard. All the way up to the commander of the infantry, that is, the admiral of the nine sects that only the emperor's confidant can serve, and then he was given the title of Yiyun Riding Lieutenant, and was promoted to the Minister of Internal Affairs not long before his death.

And what about Concubine Qi's father?It's just a small magistrate, and this official position was donated by the fourth master on behalf of her father, so it's completely incomparable.

It is precisely because of this that Concubine Qi wants her daughter to have a good marriage, so that she can not only marry well, but also increase her son's capital to win the heir.

But Concubine Qi never expected that the fourth master would choose such an obscure marriage for Yebu Chunge. If she really married Xingde, how would it help Hongyun?

"No, absolutely not." Concubine Qi said firmly, "How can a man from such a family be worthy of you?"

Yebuchunge also thought so, but... "Huang Ama is very satisfied with him."

"That won't work either." Concubine Qi said, "You are the emperor's eldest princess after all, how can you marry such a person? Besides, he is indifferent to fame and wealth, I think he has no ambitions."

Concubine Qi, who was firmly opposed, got up and went directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Because she guessed why she came, Fourth Master let her in.

Seeing Concubine Qi's objection, to be honest, Fourth Master wasn't too surprised, but he didn't take it seriously: "Yebu Chunge is my daughter, and Xingde is the forehead I carefully selected for her. Could it be that you think I am Would you still treat Yebu Chunge badly?"

Concubine Qi really thought so, but she said: "The concubine naturally knows that the emperor will not treat Yebu Chunge badly, but has the emperor forgotten what you said when our daughter was just born? You said you would Let Yebu Chunge marry an indomitable hero, but this Xingde has no ambitions and dares to be mediocre, how can such a man be worthy of our Yebu Chunge?"

"Nonsense, if Xingde is so unbearable, how can I let him be the candidate for the forehead?" Fourth Master said, "Everyone has his own ambitions. I can't think that he is useless just because he has no intention of being an official and loves mountains and rivers. Yebu Chunge's temperament Sensitive and thoughtful, that's why I specially selected a gentle and considerate man like Xing De to match her."

"Is there no man who is upright, gentle and considerate?" Concubine Qi still did not let go, "This concubine knows that because Yebu Chunge came out of the concubine's stomach, she is not as good as the second princess from the first line, but Your Majesty, Yebchunge is our child anyway, don't you have the heart to see her marry such a person?"

What kind of person is such a person?

The fourth master was so angry by Concubine Qi's nonsense remarks that he almost wondered if he had picked a bad man for Yebu Chunge, otherwise, how could she object so strongly?

"In short, I've made up my mind." The fourth master didn't want to entangle with Concubine Qi any longer, "I will let Yebu Chunge and Xingde meet on another day, and if Yebu Chunge is satisfied, I will directly help you If they give you a marriage, you should leave."

"emperor."

"Go back."

Seeing Fourth Master's firm attitude, even if Concubine Qi was not angry, she could only leave first. When she returned, she saw that Yebu Chunge was still waiting for her in her palace, Concubine Qi sighed and said, "Your Majesty Ma still hasn't changed her mind, what should I do?"

Yebu Chunge was not disappointed when she heard this, because she never thought that a visit by Concubine Qi would change Fourth Master's mind, she just needs to let Huang Ama know Erniang's attitude.

"Then I have no choice but to meet him." Yebu Chunge said, "But if he is really as good as Huang Ama said, then marrying him is not a bad thing."

"How can this be done?" Concubine Qi objected subconsciously.

"That can't be helped." Yebu Chunge said seemingly unintentionally, "If Nala Xingde is really a gentleman and not a hypocrite with ostentation, then even if his family background is not obvious, Huang Ama will not put this You can see it."

A pompous hypocrite?

Concubine Qi's eyes lit up at Yebu Chunge's words. That's right, isn't the fourth master so optimistic about Nala Xingde because of his excellent appearance, temperament and character?But what if it turns out he's not a gentleman?Then, would fourth master still regard him as the best candidate for forehead consort?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. Concubine Qi gradually had an idea in her heart, don't care whether Nala Xingde is really a gentleman, as long as she let him be or not?

Seeing Concubine Qi's reaction, Yebu Chunge's eyes flickered. After leaving her, Yebu Chunge returned to his residence and sent his personal maid Bell to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to tell Fourth Master, Said that if he really thinks Xingde is good, then she is willing to meet Xingde.

"Princess, the emperor heard that you are willing to see each other. I don't know how happy I am." Ling Ding replied to Yebu Chunge with a smile, "The emperor asked the servants to tell you that you are the jewel in the emperor's palm. The emperor will not wrong you. .”

Hearing this, Yebuchunge nodded with a satisfied smile on his face.
