The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

The grievances between Brother Jiu and Longkodo have come to an end since Longkodo was demoted to a commoner. In the view of Brother Jiu, since he has been demoted to a commoner, he is no longer a threat to their family. big.

You must know that Kangxi said that Longkodo's demotion to a commoner is not just as simple as making him a commoner. If Tong Guowei doesn't want to fight against Kangxi and lose his big backer, then he can only ruthlessly cut off his father-son relationship with Longkodo .

According to the situation of Longkodo and Yuzhu, if the two of them leave the Tong family without a backer, eating and drinking may not be a problem in a short time, but don't forget that Longkodo is now addicted to drugs, and Yuzhu They even stepped into the gate of hell with one and a half feet. One day, if there is no "life extension" of hibiscus paste, it is obvious what will happen to them.

But Rou Jia’s thinking is exactly the opposite of Brother Jiu’s. Anyone who has read too many novels knows that since ancient times, the villain died because of talking too much, while the protagonist died because of his heart. Readers have already seen many things to beware of. Xin Dadi felt that it was not a problem at all.

Rou Jia doesn’t know if it’s because the protagonist is really big-hearted, or if the author deliberately designed it. Anyway, she doesn’t want the same thing to happen to her. When reading a novel, she finds it exciting, but her own life is still Hope it's not so grandiose.

Well, how else can we say that the truth is plain and plain?

In short, Roujia has the same attitude. Although Longkodo has been demoted to a commoner, he cannot relax his vigilance against him.

Roujia's mother taught her a truth before, that is to stay on the front line in everything and see each other in the future, why do you say that?Because if you drive a dog into a poor alley, you will be backlashed. When a person is driven to a dead end, he either fights to win a little life, or he has to pull a back when he is dying.

However, the principle taught by Roujia's mother does not apply to Longkodo, because their mortal feud has already been forged, and there is no possibility of turning hostility into friendship.

At least in a short period of time, it seems that there is no such thing at all, and according to Longkodo's situation, even if he chooses to go all out, it is just to put a back on his back when he dies. After all, detoxification is too difficult, unless there is a will of steel .

Roujia doesn't know if Longkodo has such a thing, so she can only take it as if it doesn't exist, because if there is, then the danger of Longkodo is probably even higher.

If not, a drug addict is also very scary, okay?Especially when his drug addiction broke out, let alone let him kill and set fire, even let him kill himself without hesitation.

How could such an extremely dangerous person not continue to be vigilant?

Brother Jiu didn't understand Rou Jia's worries, and even felt that she was a bit of a woman's benevolent, unreasonable worry. As a result, Rou Jia threw a sharp knife at her, and Brother Jiu said immediately, "OK, please, I will continue to send People are staring at Longkodo."

"You should do what you say." Rou Jia rolled her eyes at the big-hearted Brother Jiu, "Otherwise, if something really happens, you won't be able to cry if you want to."

"Okay, okay." Brother Jiu agreed in one gulp.

Rou Jia believed in Brother Jiu, so after emphasizing this matter with him again and again, she simply put it behind her. It wasn't that Rou Jia didn't worry about the safety of their family. As soon as October comes, they are too busy to fly.

From the thirteenth elder brother's birthday on October 34st to the end of October [-]th, and the tenth elder brother's birthday in between, the gold award festival that is of great significance to Manchurians, and the Queen Mother's birthday, etc., all of these are It is necessary for Roujia and his wife to attend together.

In addition, there are Da Gege from Zhijun Wang's family, the third elder brother from the prince's family, the second elder brother from Qiye's family, etc. These nephews and nieces all celebrate their birthdays in October of the lunar calendar, because they are juniors. It's not necessary for Roujia and the others to attend, but gifts still have to be given.

Not to mention those pregnant women whose due date is this month, Roujia does not prepare any birthday gifts for the children in their womb, but the three baptisms still have to be prepared in advance.

So Rou Jia knows why Kangxi gave 20 yuan for the prince to live in another palace, but the money is still completely useless, because the expenses are huge, and no amount of money can afford it. ah.

The ones listed by Jou Chia are those who are relatively close to them (no matter what the relationship is), and I won’t mention some that are farther away. Joo Chia thought it’s no wonder that she had to ask someone to record these times, because who asked relatives to How many friends?If you can memorize it by yourself, another super brain may not be enough.

China has been a big country of personal relationships since ancient times, especially at this time, it is no joke that connections are as important as the air, and people like Brother Jiu who have no ambitions to rise to the top and win people over cannot be avoided, let alone Those with ambition and drive?

But there is no one who does not have eyes to go to the special office to recruit Kangxi's eyes. After all, who doesn't know that Kangxi has been in a bad mood recently because of his injury?Even the Empress Dowager's birthday and the Golden Festival this year are not as lively as in previous years.

In fact, Kangxi is quite filial to the queen mother, regardless of whether he is out of political considerations or sincerely, in short, the old lady has indeed lived a comfortable life after he came to power.

It was a qualitative change from the treatment she experienced during the Shunzhi Dynasty.

So Kangxi didn't intend to let his injury affect the queen mother's birthday, but it's a pity that it doesn't matter whether he really thinks so. If it was wrong and happened to be remembered by him today, he would not know how he died.

As Kangxi's daughter-in-law, Rou Jia doesn't need to put too much acting on her face, because among other things, Kangxi is definitely not the kind of perverted father-in-law who would stare at his daughter-in-law.

Even if he was staring, he was just staring at the backyards of his sons, and he only stared at those backyards with problems, such as the backyard of Ba Ye.

Really, the only thing that can make Kangxi stare at him like this is the prince, but Baye probably won't be proud of it, because Kangxi stares at the prince's backyard, not only because he is the prince of the country, but also because he His biological mother died young, and Kangxi took care of all aspects of his affairs entirely out of pity for him.

And what about Eighth Master?

The biological mother did not die early, and the adoptive mother was still alive. The two mothers looked at Kangxi and wanted to intervene because they were dissatisfied with Ba Ye (or Ba Fujin), not because of any pity.

So this kind of treatment that was originally only available to the prince, in fact, the eighth master didn't want it at all. If he could, he would rather have the rightful sons and daughters like other brothers, and have the rightful sons and daughters, okay?

But there is no if, even if Ba Ye has a son and a daughter now, but because the concubine's eldest son is sick, the concubine's daughter is healthy, but unfortunately she is a girl, so Kangxi also hinted in private that Ba Ye has more time to spend with his concubine Walking in their room, as for the Eight Fujin...

Kangxi, who has already determined that Fujin is a hen that doesn't lay eggs, feels that it is enough to respect her first wife. If she can't give birth, there is no need to waste time on her.

It is true that Kangxi hopes that the sons and their husbands will live in harmony, but the premise is that this wife is a good wife. For a wife like Bafujin who is neither fertile nor virtuous, it is already considered that Kangxi did not let Ba Ye abandon her and go home. be kind.

Just as Ba Ye didn't know that Ba Fujin was dragging him behind his back, Ba Fujin also didn't know that without her knowing, Kangxi had hinted that Ba Fujin would use his energy on the concubines.

So sometimes it is not those who know everything are happy, but those who know nothing are happier, such as the eight blessings.

I don't know if it's because I have experienced the feeling of being neglected by Ba Ye once, or because I have a new goal, so Ba Fujin is still very satisfied with his current life.

Even though she still doesn't like the two sons and daughters of Ba Ye very much, but because they are still young, and their biological mother also knows that holding them in front of her eyes will only hinder her eyes, so they don't like it. Don't appear in front of Ba Fujin to disgust her.

After Baye accepted the bow of Fujin last time, the relationship between the husband and wife returned to good. He seemed to really believe in Fujin's words—she really wasn't responsible for Zhang Gege's premature birth.

But I don't know whether it was out of love for Fujin or out of love for the two children, Master Ba didn't take them all to the main courtyard for Fujin to raise them.

You must know that many times the mistress has no children, and the children born to the concubines are taken to the main courtyard to be raised by the mistress, but Ba Ye did not do this. It is hard to say what the specific reason is.

As for this, Ba Fujin didn't go into it, because from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to raise Baye's concubine and concubine daughter, even if her nanny persuaded her, saying that if there were more angry children in the yard, Maybe he could bring her an heir.

But Ba Fujin just didn't want to, and in her heart, her child was a legitimate son and daughter, how noble was it?What are those two sons and daughters?Did they have to be able to bring her baby?

There is a saying that loves the house and the black, hates the house and the black. When this sentence is put on Ba Fujin, only the second half of the sentence can barely be related. It is strange to say that Ba Fujin loves Ba Ye for sure, but she But he only loves him as a person, as for his parents, brothers and heirs, Ba Fujin doesn't care at all.

But even if Fujin was unwilling to take the two sons and daughters into her own yard, it didn't mean that she didn't believe what the nanny said, or that Fujin was willing to try any method in order to seek a child.

So in the end, Bafujin adopted He Zhuo's daughter. He Zhuo, as Ba Ye's staff, naturally deserved to be reused by him, and He Zhuo's daughter had nothing to do with Ba Ye, so Ba Fujin would not feel awkward even if he adopted her. .

Looking at the white and tender little girl, Fujin inevitably fell in love with him, even if it was not his own, but it did not prevent Fujin from pouring out his mother's love that had no place to vent on her.

It is probably because of this reason that the current Bafujin looks calmer than before. Although he still looks arrogant and arrogant in many cases, he is no longer like a mad dog. Catch someone to bite.

This was really beyond Roujia's expectation, because the occasions Roujia attended during this period coincided with those of Bafujin, so it was inevitable to meet each other.

Originally, Roujia thought that if this happened, at least she would have to fight with Bafujin, but who knew that she seemed to be a different person.

"Isn't that good?" Today is the fourth master's birthday, not because he might be the next emperor in the future, but because of his relationship with Sifujin and Honghui, Roujia has to go here too. a trip.

As the host, Sifujin finally greeted the guests, and had a rare time to sit down and chat with Roujia and the others. As soon as he sat down, he heard them talking about Bafujin, and then Sifujin said something .

Okay?

Rou Jia thought, of course it's not good, if Ba Fujin doesn't bother her, how can she have a chance to make use of the problem to let Brother Jiu go after Ba Ye to pay back the money?

Money, money, Rou Jia still hasn't forgotten the money that elder brother Jiu subsidized Baye, isn't it good to recover so much money and then spend it or donate it for good deeds?

What's the difference between subsidizing Ba Ye's career of seizing the heirloom and throwing money into the sea?

It's not that Rou Jia thinks that Ba Ye's career of seizing the heir apparent will fail, after all, this is already an empty Qing Dynasty, but Rou Jia thinks that people like Ba Ye are not worthy of the sincerity of Brother Jiu.

That idiot still said he was smart, Roujia thought to himself, if he sold it to someone and had to help count the money, that means someone like Brother Jiu, but...

Well, if Bafujin doesn't bother her, then just treat it as that money and throw it into the sea. Rou Jia still feels sorry for that money, but considering Brother Jiu's temperament of emphasizing love and righteousness, if he really If you ask him to recover the money from Ba Ye, he is probably the saddest person.

Who told him to value people more than money?

After thinking about this point, Rou Jia said: "It's also pretty good."

She thought to herself, it's like spending money to buy peace.

However, what Roujia didn't know was that she was ready to give up letting Brother Jiu ask Ba Ye for the money he had given him before, but Brother Jiu suddenly knew about the things that Ba Ye had shown favor to Longkoduo before.

Ba Fujin did not do this, although it was indeed what she wanted to see, otherwise she would not have been thinking about how to let Brother Jiu know after Longkodo was demoted to a commoner.

However, what Bafujin didn't know was that because he knew from Roujia that Furong ointment was a drug, he had been sending people to watch Longkodo. Someone is following his situation.

This attention made Brother Jiu notice that part of the hibiscus ointment in Tong Jia's mansion came from a pharmacy under the name of Ba Fujin.

You must know that Mo Yaqi and Yuzhu were the first to use lotus ointment in Tong Jia's mansion, and the reason why Tong Jia brothers and sisters used lotus ointment was because the dagger that Luo Shi stabbed them was stained with the poison of the needle on the tail. .

As for why Jueluo stabbed Yuzhu and Mo Yaqi, it was because she wanted to avenge her daughter Hesheli, and when these things happened, Brother Jiu and Longkodo had already had their revenge.

Brother Nine knows very well that if Eighth Master can successfully win the support of Tong Jia's clan, it will definitely be even more powerful for him, because it is obvious to all that Tong Jia's clan is powerful in the Kangxi Dynasty.

But Ba Ye didn't know that he and Longkodo had become enemies?

Even though Longkodo and Li Si'er hadn't conspired to attack Hongjing at that time, everyone knew that because of Jueluo's stabbing, Brother Jiu and Longkodo would never shake hands and make peace.

Who told Long Ke to treat Li Si'er like pearls and treasures more, and treat her two children with even more pain to the bone?Under such circumstances, don't say whether Longkodo will shake hands with Brother Jiu to make peace, even if he will, Brother Jiu will have to wonder if he has some conspiracy.

But the eighth master still showed his favor to Longkodo, and the ninth elder brother leaned back on the chair behind him, let alone Longkodo is their uncle, what happened to Mo Yaqi, Yuzhu and Li Si'er It is normal for them to come to the door with gifts and condolences.

If it was normal, why didn't anyone come to condolences during that time?Even people with a discerning eye can see that Kangxi is still protecting Longkodo, but such a scandal happened, and they don't say it on the surface, but behind the scenes, I don't know how many people spurned Longkodo's actions.

Under such circumstances, Bafujin went to Tong's house, and gave them the hibiscus ointment that Yuzhu and Mo Yaqi needed at that time. Apart from wooing them, Brother Jiu really couldn't think of any reason.

Even though Brother Jiu already knew the true face of Master Ba, after knowing this, he was still so depressed that he had nowhere to vent, and even began to wonder if he was really out of his mind?

Otherwise, it seems that the eighth master has already forgotten their brotherhood, and he is the only one who can't forget it. Isn't this stupid?

The more he thought about it, the more angry Brother Jiu wanted to hit someone, but at the beginning he only said that if Ba Fujin troubled Roujia again, he asked him to spit out all the money he gave him before, but he didn't say Ba Ye If you show favor to Longkodo, let him spit out the money.

Brother Nine: "..."

So angry!

Rou Jia didn't know about Brother Jiu's depression, after she came back from Fourth Master's birthday banquet that day, she told Brother Jiu about going to Tanzhe Temple to worship Buddha with Si Fujin and the others.

"Sacrificing incense and paying homage to the Buddha?" Brother Jiu felt a little surprised when he heard Roujia say that, "Don't you not believe this?"

In fact, many emperors and members of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty believed in Buddhism, but Brother Jiu is alright, and as far as he knows, Rou Jia doesn’t seem to believe in Buddhism. The specific performance is that she is not like other Fujins in her own house. Build a small Buddhist hall.

I have never seen her burn incense and pray to Buddha, or chant scriptures and pray.

"I didn't really believe it before." But who made her experience such an unexplainable time travel?Rou Jia said, "But so many things have happened in the past year, I think it's better to go to say goodbye, for peace of mind."

It's easy to talk about other things, but the fact that Hongjing was almost murdered by Longkodo and Li Sier not long after he was born made Roujia feel a little uncomfortable. Although he escaped fortunately in the end, it made him Roujia began to think whether there is really a will of God in the dark?

Because if Brother Jiu hadn't helped the Jue Luo family and planted a good cause, Yue Xing'a would not have been able to return them a good fruit, so when they heard that Si Fujin and the others planned to go to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha, Rou Jia He raised his hand and said he wanted to participate.

As Rou Jia said, no matter it is useful or not, it is just for peace of mind.

Brother Jiu was just surprised and didn't refuse, but he didn't forget to ask her: "Do you want to take Hongjing with you?"

"This..." Roujia thought for a while, and then said, "Isn't it better? He's still too young, and the weather is relatively cold now. If he accidentally freezes, it won't be worth the loss."

Especially since Tanzhe Temple is on the mountain, the temperature must be lower.

So when it was the day of departure, Roujia left Putao and Madam Xu at home, took longan and lychee with her, and went to Tanzhe Temple with Sifujin and the others.

After Wanyan Gege's incident, lychees gradually came into Roujia's eyes, just as she thought, grapes and longan would marry sooner or later, and it was impossible for her to be taken care of by maidservants, in this case, then Of course you have to prepare in advance.

The people who went to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha this time included Roujia, Sifujin, Wufujin, sisters-in-law, and after they arrived at Tanzhe Temple, Master Juewu brought his disciples to welcome them.

No matter it was Roujia, Sifujin or Wufujin, they didn't intend to make publicity, so they followed Master Juewu into the temple to worship Buddha without alarming others.

Tanzhe Temple, which was named by Kangxi himself, is the largest royal temple in the capital. The so-called effective from top to bottom, Kangxi's belief in Buddhism naturally also led many people to follow Buddhism, so the incense of Tanzhe Temple has always been prosperous.

I don't know if it was affected by the environment, but Roujia only felt that her heart was gradually purified, especially when she followed Sifujin and Wufujin to worship the Buddha, all the distracting thoughts in her heart were in the scriptures chanted by the masters. Wenzhong gradually moved away from her.

It was true that Rou Jia didn't practice Buddhism very much before, but since she came here, she would not take a casual attitude and earnestly follow Sifu Jin and the others after paying homage to Buddha, and they were not in a hurry to leave.

It was the first time for Rou Jia to visit Tanzhe Temple, so she was not afraid of the cold outside and had to go for a walk. Sifujin and Wufujin would not accompany her. One was afraid of the cold, and the other wanted to discuss with Master Juewu. Look at the Buddhist scriptures.

So Roujia left with longan and lychee. This Tanzhe Temple was built in 307 A.D., the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1000 years. Even after many renovations, but There are still many historical relics preserved here.

Roujia and the others walked all the way to the Dragon King Hall on the west side of the Guanyin Temple. She came here to meet the stone fish, one of the four treasures of Tanzhe Temple that Sifujin said before.

This stone fish looks like copper from a distance, but it looks like a stone up close. It is black and green all over. It is hung on the front porch of the Dragon King Hall by two thick iron chains. It is said that different parts of the fish's body will make different sounds. , its sound is like gold and stone, and the sound is pleasing to the ear.

Rou Jia couldn't resist trying it out, and it was indeed true. With Rou Jia's permission, Longan and Lychee also started to touch the stone fish. It is said that there is something uncomfortable in the human body, and touching the same part of the stone fish, You can heal quickly.

There is nothing uncomfortable about longan and lychee, but it is a rare opportunity, so naturally I have to touch it.

In addition to the stone fish, Roujia and the others also went to see the other Three Treasures of Tanzhe, namely the Ziyou Pillar, the white marble statue of a pharmacist in the Tang and Han Dynasties, and the portrait of Zen Master Huayan, the founder of the mountain.

Seeing that she was almost hungry, Rou Jia took the lychees and longan back to look for Sifujin and Wufujin, but she didn't expect them to be on the way back. Actually met two acquaintances, one is Bafujin, the other is...

Longkodo? ? ?

Roujia was surprised, how could the two of them appear together?

"Fujin?" I also saw the longan and lychees of Bafujin and Longkodo and quickly looked at Roujia, who immediately put his finger on his lips to signal them not to speak, then raised his foot and followed.

Although Bafujin and Longkodo didn't bring any servants with them, and those who were alone had to go to secluded places, but Roujia didn't think they would have an affair.

After all, Long Kedo's true love is Li Si'er, and Ba Fujin only sees Ba Ye in his eyes, but the two of them are walking together, Rou Jia has a hunch that there must be something going on here.

Seeing that neither Bafujin nor Longkodo had noticed, Rou Jia raised her heels up. Fortunately, because she was going up the mountain today, Rou Jia did not wear flower pot shoes for convenience, but put on embroidered shoes, so she followed lightly. When I went up, there was no sound at all.

Rou Jia originally wondered if Ba Fujin and Long Kedo were discussing some kind of conspiracy. It wasn't that Rou Jia wanted to treat a gentleman with a villain's heart, but neither of them could be considered a gentleman.

But who knew that as she listened, Roujia heard a big secret that shocked her. Longan and Lizhi also widened their eyes, and their faces were stained with anger.

Roujia secretly took a deep breath, the cold air inhaled her body quickly calmed her down, she gestured to the longan and litchi, the three master and servant were about to leave quietly, but suddenly they stepped on the ground The branches made a crisp click.

"...!"

"...!!"

"...!!!"
