The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

Zhang Tingyu's wife, Yao, passed away in the 38th year of Kangxi, the year Zhang Tingyu's father ascended the throne. After that, Zhang Tingyu did not remarry, and because his wife, Yao, did not leave a man and a half when she passed away, so The children in Zhang Tingyu's house are all from concubines.

But then again, in the absence of a concubine wife and a concubine son, even though the two young masters named Ruoyu and Ruoai by Zhang Tingyu were only concubine sons, the servants in the house would not dare to despise them.

It was also because of this that Zhang Ruozhen and Zhang Ruoai were so courageous, they dared to sneak into Zhang Tingyu's study to play while he was not at home.

Originally, Zhang Ruozhen had thought very well. Anyway, his father was not at home, so they just had to leave before his father came back. The subordinates would definitely not talk nonsense.

But who knows that the plan can't keep up with the changes, because of my carelessness, I actually let my younger brother tear up my father's favorite landscape painting like waste paper, and because I was watching "Water Margin" on a whim, I couldn't help but sit in my father's study. Let's not talk about whether it is good or not, anyway, it is a waste of Ru porcelain from the Song Dynasty.

"You... you..." Zhang Tingyu almost had a heart attack after listening to the elder son's detailed account of their younger brothers' crimes.

"Father, my son knows he's wrong." Zhang Ruozhen immediately knelt down to Zhang Tingyu when he saw Zhang Tingyu's appearance, "Father, please punish me."

"Die, wrong, wrong." Zhang Ruo'ai, who was only born last year and is only two years old this year (imaginary), imitated her brother and knelt in front of Zhang Tingyu. It was just sitting on knees, looking up at Zhang Tingyu with her little head up, "fafa~fafa~"

Seeing his younger son smiling innocently at him, how could Zhang Tingyu be punished?

But...

Zhang Tingyu looked at Zhang Ruoai, then at Zhang Ruoyu, thinking back then that when the eldest son was as young as the younger son, he was very cute and very attractive, plus Zhang Tingyu only got such a son at the age of 30, how could he not love him What about him?

But as he grows up, when cats and dogs are hated, let's not say whether he loves it or not, anyway, he is so angry with him every now and then that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys hurt.

It may be because of the example of the eldest son, so even if the younger son is cute now, Zhang Tingyu can imagine that when he is a few years older, he will definitely be as naughty as his brother.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but think of her five-year-old (false years old) sisters who were so well-behaved in the study room, and sighed again at the moment, no wonder others said that having a son is good, and having a daughter is a good life up.

Zhang Tingyu said with emotion: "Punishment will definitely be punished. Since you like this "Water Margin" so much, then as a father, I will punish you to finish reading "Water Margin"..."

Before Zhang Tingyu finished speaking, Zhang Ruozhen hurriedly said, "Really? Dad, you really want me to finish reading "Water Margin"?"

No wonder Zhang Ruozhen was so excited, it was really because this long novel in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty was about anti-anti-anti, so since the Ming Dynasty, many rulers have ordered the banning of "Water Margin".

But because it is close to life, and it is easy to understand vernacular, it is especially loved by the common people, and because people themselves have a curiosity-seeking psychology, the more strictly the imperial court bans books, the more curious they are.

Therefore, even though "Water Margin" has existed for two to three hundred years, and has been ordered to be destroyed by many rulers of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it still survives in the world, but it cannot appear on the owner's bookshelf openly.

It was also because Zhang Ruoxi came to Zhang Tingyu's study to borrow books once, and accidentally found this "Water Margin". After reading a few pages, he was completely fascinated.

Zhang Ruozhen is not very old, but he is still 12 years old. Naturally, he knows that it is not a good thing for this court official to have banned books, especially his father Zhang Tingyu has a special status.

Although the emperors of the Qing Dynasty said that the Manchus and Hans belonged to one family, no one knew that the status of the Han people was always inferior to that of the Manchus. It would be fine if Zhang Tingyu was not reused, but he was highly valued by the fourth master. He is already an important minister in the court.

Although Zhang Tingyu has a generous temperament and does not make enemies with others, once he enters the officialdom, it is as deep as the sea. It is not that everything will be fine if he does not make enemies with others.

Zhang Tingyu never told Zhang Ruozhen about these things, but if he didn't say it, it didn't mean that Zhang Ruozhen knew nothing about it. Therefore, even though his father had "Water Margin" in his study, Zhang Ruozhen never told anyone about it, even if he wanted to read it. , and never secretly took "Water Margin" out of his father's study.

As a result, Zhang Tingyu actually said that he would be fined to finish watching "Water Margin"? ? ?

Is this called punishment?

Can this still be called punishment?

If this is considered a punishment, then let this punishment be more violent!

Looking at the elder son whose eyes lit up all of a sudden, Zhang Tingyu smiled, and then said: "Of course it is true. A gentleman's words are hard to follow."

"Father, from now on you will be the best father in the world in my mind." Zhang Ruozhen, who liked to mention "Water Margin", suddenly had a sweet mouth, as if he had rinsed his mouth with honey, every word and every word was sweet The speed exploded.

"Fold it well~" Zhang Ruoai also booed with her baby voice.

"It's too early to talk." Zhang Tingyu said, "You can watch "Water Margin", but after you finish reading it, you have to write me a review."

Zhang Ruozhen, who doesn't like to study but only likes to use knives and guns: "..."

No wonder others are fathers and he is sons, what he said just now is really too early!

Zhang Ruozhen was still lamenting that his father deserved to be his father, he was so cunning, and Zhang Ruoai beside him couldn't understand Zhang Tingyu's words, but it didn't prevent him from joining in the fun. Before Zhang Ruozhen opened his mouth, he excitedly said: "Okay, okay!"

"Do you know what feelings are? You're fine." Zhang Ruoxi put his hands around Zhang Ruoai's neck, locked his throat with little force, and said, "You're Brother Keng, you know that?"

Zhang Ruoai, whose throat was locked (bushi), bent her eyes and showed a sweet smile to her brother: "Quack~"

"You're the one who quacks." Zhang Ruoxi felt that if he was fussy with his younger brother, he would be pissed off. "How many times have I said, it's brother! Brother! Brother!"

What quack quack, is he a duck?

"Gah!"

"elder brother!"

"Gah!"

"elder brother!"

"Quack quack quack..."

Zhang Ruoai, who thought Zhang Ruozhen was playing with her, couldn't help but giggled.

Zhang Ruoxi: "..."

who am i where am i doing

Zhang Ruoxi, who was made rational by laughing at his younger brother, felt that he had to argue with Zhang Ruoai, who couldn't speak clearly, whether he was a fool or not, right?

He can call his father a dice, so what's so strange about calling his brother a ga?

Looking at Zhang Ruoxi, who hadn't reacted and called his brother several times, Zhang Tingyu: "..."

He always thought that the eldest son was not good at reading because he was not serious about studying, but now it seems that he has reason to suspect that it has nothing to do with whether he is serious at all, because he is not bad at reading, it seems that he is not good at thinking.

Zhang Ruoxi: "...???"

******

At home, the two sons were very angry, so the obedient Zhang Tingyu, who missed his sister and sister even more, quickly proposed to the fourth master that he wanted his sister and sister to enter the study as a test (auspicious) gold (xiang) stone (thing) suggestion.

"...I found out that there are sisters, sisters and two little princesses in the upper study room. The third elder brother and other elder brothers should be more serious in class and take more responsibility for their homework."

Of course Zhang Tingyu knows that boys of Hongshi's age are the most concerned about face, and they also want to establish the image of a good brother in front of their sisters and sisters, so if they don't want to lose face in front of their sisters and sisters, then they must I will not treat my homework as lazily as before.

What Zhang Tingyu said is well-founded, it's hard for Fourth Master to refuse, but...

"The two little Gege are always the daughters of Prince Xiang. I can't make up my own mind about this matter, and I will take over for you."

So the fourth master sent someone to announce that the ninth elder brother entered the palace. It happened that the ninth elder brother also had something to discuss with the fourth master in the palace, so the ninth elder brother came very quickly. Asked: "Fourth brother, you asked your younger brother to come here, could it be that Hong Jing and Hong Tong are causing trouble again in the study room?"

The word "again" is enough to prove that this is not the first time that Brother Nine, who is an Ama, has been called a parent.

"It has nothing to do with Hongjing Hongtong." The fourth master said, "It was Hengchen who made a proposal with me today, saying that there is a way to let Hongjing and the others study obediently in the upper study room and stop making trouble at will, so I called you to come and listen Listen and see if it works."

"If Mr. Zhang has a way, then of course my younger brother agrees." Brother Jiu thought it was nothing when he was mischievous, and even thought it was unreasonable for his mother to beat him with a burning stick.

Is he called mischievous?

His name is to release nature.

But when his own son also transferred (released) the skin (released) the messy (nature) (nature), Brother Jiu finally understood——

Back then, his mother didn't beat him to death, which was already the greatest kindness to him.

Brother Jiu said that his love for him is true, and his desire to beat him is also true.

For Brother Jiu's answer, Fourth Master was not surprised, because Fourth Master knew how naughty Hong Jing's nephew was, but it was because Hong Jing didn't treat him like other nephews or even sons. He had more than awe, but not enough intimacy, so fourth master inevitably tolerant and doted on him.

Besides, fourth master can accept even his own son's mischief, let alone Hongjing?

"Since that's the case, then ninth brother, you should listen to Heng Chen's proposal." The fourth master signaled Zhang Tingyu to open his mouth. There is a way to control Hongjing. Of course, Jiu elder brother agrees with both hands, but if Hongjing can be controlled If the price is for sisters and sisters, brother Jiu would not react in this way.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Tingyu's proposal, Brother Jiu immediately objected: "Let my sister and sister go to the study too? No, no."

Originally, sisters and sisters often went to the palace when they were not studying in the study room. If they went to study in the study room like Hongjing Hongtong and the others, then sisters and sisters would not often go to the palace, but would have to live directly in the palace Bar?

"Fourth brother." Ninth elder brother looked at fourth master, and said quietly, "The revenge of seizing a daughter is irresistible."

He finally got two daughters, is it easy for him?It was fine to let the older sisters follow Yulu and call Fourth Master and Wulanara the Empress Ama and Empress Empress, but now they still want them to live in the palace?

Co-authored that the daughter born to him and Rou Jia was born for them?

"Who said I'm going to rob you of my sister and sister?" Although the fourth master was a little guilty, he didn't admit the crime. He said, "The methods Hengchen said are all for the children in the end."

In fact, Zhang Tingyu has his own selfishness: "..."

Ah this...

guilty conscience.jpg

Brother Jiu looked at Fourth Master with a look of "you don't want to do this for me", and then said: "I won't agree anyway, besides, there are so many rules in the study room, how can sisters bear it? "

It's not that Brother Jiu has never studied in the study room, so I won't talk about the many rules, and I have to go to the study room every day to start reading early. At this time, their sisters and sisters are still sleeping soundly in bed, okay?

How could brother Jiu be willing to let his sister and sister eat the bitterness he had suffered?

"Ninth Brother, I'm worrying too much. The situation of my sister and sister is different from Hongjing and the others. Naturally, I don't have to follow the rules of going to the study room." The fourth master said, "Heng Chen, right?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the situation of the two little princesses is different from that of the elder brothers. If you enter the school, the ministers and the masters in the study room will definitely treat them according to the situation." Zhang Tingyu said.

"Look, Ninth Brother." The fourth master said, "And I heard that my sister and sister sneaked into the upper study to listen in, and they are learning decently. Since the child likes it, I don't think there is any need to stop it, right?"

If Fourth Master said other reasons, Brother Nine would naturally be able to refuse categorically, but the reason he said now was that both his sister and sister liked it, so it would be difficult for Brother Nine to refuse.

Brother Jiu knew that her sister and sister went to the study room not necessarily because they really liked studying, but because there were more people who could play with her in the study room, and there were indeed fewer children in their house.

Usually, Hong Jing and Hong Tong basically live in the palace, and they go home only ten days ago. There are only two children in the family, so it is no wonder that they always like to run to the palace.

Probably for sisters and sisters, the palace is a playground.

So in the end Brother Jiu agreed, but it is impossible to let the elder sister and younger sister live in the palace, and the two little princesses are too small, it is impossible to let them go to class every day, let them go to the study every now and then to study (play) Book (playing) is about the same.

But brother Jiu also said: "Fourth brother, this is your special permission for your sisters to study in the study. If there is any problem with this, we will not be responsible."

Of course, the fourth master had no objection to this. After talking about the private matters, he started to talk about the serious business. The fourth master asked, "Ninth brother, what are you doing in the palace today?"

Brother Jiu who was going to tell Fourth Master that he had agreed to take over the maritime trade: "..."

He doesn't want to say anything now.

******

Brother Jiu never thought that his daughter being so cute would be a burden. After returning home, Brother Jiu said to Rou Jia, "I seriously suspect that not only Fourth Brother has selfish intentions, but also Zhang Tingyu." With good intentions."

Otherwise, why didn't he mention it sooner or later, but after seeing his sister and sister, he proposed such a method to deal with those sons and phoenixes who don't like to study but only like to make trouble?

"Forget it, it's really boring if sisters and sisters just stay at home." Rou Jia is very optimistic, because in later generations, children at the age of sisters and sisters will be sent to kindergarten.

Now let them go to the study room every now and then, just as if they were going to kindergarten, she said, "The only ones who can go to the study room are our sisters and sisters, except for Yuludai. In a way, it is also an honor given by the fourth brother to the older sisters."

Yuludai no longer studies in the upper study room. One reason is the difference between men and women, and the other reason is that Wulanara thinks that Yuludai is too wild, even wilder than her brother.

Ulanara doesn't necessarily want her daughter to be a demure girl, but she can't do it if her temper is too wild, and Yu Ludai is going to marry after all. One cannot be ignorant of the way of the family, the secrets of the back house, the way of the imperial court, etc.

Of course, Ulanara would not teach Yuludai how to harm others, but she also had to teach her how not to be harmed casually.

Yuludai is good at everything, but her temperament is too straightforward and simple, so Wulanara will inevitably be worried.

Brother Jiu also knew that if it wasn't because Fourth Master liked his sisters and sisters, they wouldn't even have to go to the study if they wanted to, but he still felt uncomfortable because there were only those who wanted to rob his daughters!what!many! ?

It's all because he is so capable that Roujia gave birth to a pair of little princesses all of a sudden, and made the little princesses so beautiful and cute. It's no wonder that others want to rob him of their daughters.

Shout out.jpg

Roujia: "..."

She seemed to know the real reason why fourth master and the others loved to rob him of their daughter.

However, although it has become a firm fact that the elder sisters and sisters go to the study, but before they enter the palace to go to the study, a winter hunting activity organized by Brother Jiu actually attracted all the children in the palace.

Others who lived outside the palace were fine, like Hongxuan and the others knew that Hongjing and the others were going hunting, so naturally they went if they wanted to, but Hongshi and Shishi were different, because they lived in the palace and there was no Hongjing. They are so free.

So after knowing this, Hongshi and the others went to the fourth master of Yangxin Palace, and the fourth master didn't stop him, but he hesitated a little when Yu Ludai came to ask him.

The main reason is that it's freezing outside now, and fourth master is afraid that Yulu will be too cold.

Hongshi and others: "...???"

Dare to love, in the eyes of Huang Ama/Huangxiong, God is patriarchal, only girls will be cold, and boys will not be cold, right?

But unable to stand Yu Ludai's pleading, the fourth master had no choice but to agree, but he told Yu Ludai a lot of things to remember, even though this little daughter's force value was higher than her brothers and sisters, but In the eyes of fourth master, she is still the delicate flower that needs protection the most.

The brothers and sisters who were beaten by Yu Ludai in the riding and archery class: "...???"

Jiaohua? ? ?

It's the surname Jiao and the name flower, don't call it the overlord flower?

But no matter what, on the day of hunting in winter, one or two are like birds released from the cage, so excited that no matter how cold the weather is, they can't stop their enthusiasm.

Because the elder sister and younger sister are too young, Roujia and Brother Jiu didn't plan to let her go hunting together, but just think about it, Yuludai and the others all ran out to play, and the elder sister and sister How could it be possible to sit still?

So what can Roujia and Brother Jiu do?

It can only let them follow.

Originally, they thought that their sisters and sisters were just going to join in the fun, but Roujia and Brother Jiu didn't think they would gain anything, but unexpectedly, they hunted back a cub.

Roujia looked at the white and fat little dumpling in front of her, like a doll in a New Year painting, and she was sure, um, it was a cub, but it was a human cub! ! !
