The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

Don't look at Hongjing's stature is small, but his temper is not small. The two parents, Roujia and Brother Jiu, are like a grandson (bushi) trying their best to coax this little guy back.

Originally, because the pot of sour soup was so delicious and appetizing, Roujia and Brother Jiu accidentally overwhelmed the two of them, but the result was good. He was coaxed to fall asleep and digested the food in the stomachs of the two of them.

"Are you tired?" Seeing Rou Jia pinching his sore arm, Brother Nine said, "Now I know why you say that children grow up because of the wind, isn't Hongjing just like the wind?"

Obviously when he was born, even if it was full-term, but in the eyes of Brother Jiu, it was no different from a small ball, especially the small arms and legs, which made people feel extremely fragile.

But now it is good, white and fat, holding it in his arms is like holding a weight, not to mention how much his hands are dropped, Brother Jiu suddenly suspected one thing: "Do you think Hongjing inherited his father's blood? Your fat-prone physique?"

Roujia: "...???"

Do young children also have a fat-prone physique?

Doesn't he basically only drink milk?

Drinking milk is also easy to gain weight?

Roujia does know a little about food, but about milk... especially human milk, where can she go to learn about it?She is not interested in human milk, she is interested in delicious food.

So when Brother Jiu asked such a question, Rou Jia was immediately stunned by the question, and Mother Xu on the side almost lost her ears to listen, and couldn't bear to see them continue to be stupid, so she said: "Brother has a good appetite, drink The more they grow, the faster they will grow."

What's so strange about this, I don't even look at how much milk the elder brother drinks every meal, not to mention it is twice as much as an ordinary baby, it is at least half as much, drink it according to this amount of milk, Hongjing If he is not fatter than other children of the same age, then he should suspect that something is wrong with him.

Rou Jia and Brother Jiu looked at each other when they heard the words, then coughed lightly and said, "So that's how it is."

The way Xu Momo looked at them was so obvious that Roujia wanted to lie to herself that she couldn't help but look at them like a fool, so she made an excuse for herself, "People say that being pregnant is stupid. It's not surprising that I didn't expect it for three years, Brother Nine, why didn't you think of it?"

Rou Jia said, with a look of "Why are you so stupid" on her face, she was so angry when she saw Brother Jiu, what about the promise of a husband and wife?They are a husband and wife, they are birds in the same forest, so they will blame each other in the future, right?

"You're really good." Brother Nine originally wanted to squeeze Roujia's arm to relieve her soreness, but now that she has turned her back on him, why would he have the heart to squeeze her arm?He tapped her twice with his finger and said, "Can I be stupid for you?"

Rou Jia was amused by Brother Jiu's words, she leaned forward and hugged his arm and said, "I knew Brother Jiu was the best for me."

"Cut, don't do this." Brother Jiu said while making gestures to take away the arm held by Rou Jia, but a smile leaked from the corner of his lips uncontrollably.

Roujia: "..."

It's confirmed, her ninth brother is a big pig's hoof that is easy to coax.

Before bathing and changing clothes, Brother Jiu put on airs, and looked at Rou Jia as if he couldn't bear me, but after taking a bath and changing clothes, Brother Jiu who got into bed didn't lie down in his own bed, but got into Rou Jia's bed In the end, he also used his helpful spirit to serve as a stove for Roujia.

"Are you going to be the stove for me or am I going to be the stove for you?" Rou Jia, who was fully embraced by Brother Nine, asked back expressionlessly.

"When you're a couple, you don't have to worry about these details." Brother Jiu used to hold his hand a little in front of Rou Jia, but now, he doesn't even know the word "Dian".

In order to prevent Roujia from going back and forth on this issue, Brother Jiu changed the subject and said, "You said Hongjing was so good at the beginning, why is it so difficult now?"

Even though he was still a milk baby, he turned out to be like a villain. He felt aggrieved because he and Roujia went out to eat delicious food alone.

Could this son of his be a sperm?

"Er Niang said that you had a bad temper when you were a child." Rou Jia pretended not to know that she had a bad temper when she was a child, and without blushing, she directly threw the blame on Brother Jiu.

"Why do you feel that Hongjing is more like you?" Brother Jiu was not convinced, he said, "In terms of difficulty, who can compare to a difficult woman like you?"

"I think you want to sleep in a bed by yourself tonight." Rou Jia smiled (threateningly).

Brother Nine who was strangled by the throat of fate: "..."

Did he make a mistake?

This woman...

It's hard to do.

Thinking so in his heart, brother Jiu didn't show anything on his face, stretched out his arms to hug Rou Jia tightly, and continued to change the subject: "Let's go to bed early, and we have to go to court tomorrow morning."

Even though Kangxi's leg was injured, he still had to attend the morning court. Brother Jiu sincerely hoped that Kangxi could rest, but what would he do if he didn't do it?

However, the injury cannot prevent Kangxi from continuing to go to court, but it can be done during the Chinese New Year. No matter how diligent the emperor is, it is impossible for the emperor to work 360 days a year without stopping.

Although we don't want to say whether Kangxi's work is efficient or not, his doing so has greatly increased everyone's expectations for the five-day holiday, such as Brother Jiu.

After Kangxi sealed the pen on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, he did not have to work or go to court for the next five days, and he did not reopen the pen until the first day of the first lunar month. Although it was only a short five days, although these five days were not completely idle Do, but for the most part it's nice to have such a little vacation.

Because getting up from the bed before dawn in winter is really tormenting my wife, so on the first day when I don’t have to go to court, Brother Jiu just lay on the bed and was unwilling to get up.

He felt like he could be glued to the bed for the next five days.

Probably because she often has the opportunity to sleep late, so Roujia is not as exaggerated as Brother Jiu. Seeing him lying on the bed and unwilling to move, after washing, Roujia simply put the little sheep who went to bed early and woke up early (Hong Jing) Sheep) directly threw it on the bed to Brother Jiu: "Then you can play with Hongjing first."

Roujia swears that she really loves her son. After all, Hongjing is the flesh and blood born of her ten-month pregnancy and hard work. How could she not love him?but...

It's better for him not to come over when she is eating, because this little guy is too greedy, and he wants to eat as soon as he smells it, but the problem is that he can't eat everything.

So let's leave it to brother Jiu, since he doesn't want to get up anyway, so let's play with his son.

Rou Jia over there is comfortably eating the delicious beef noodles in sour soup that warms her body and stomach, while Brother Jiu here is staring at Hong Jing who was "thrown" on the bed.

"Do you want to sleep?" Brother Jiu asked Hong Jing, the little guy sat on the bed and patted his buttocks on the bed which was not hard, and said "Yeah" to Brother Jiu twice, as if to say——

what sleep?Get up and hey.

Brother Jiu, who pretended not to understand, made a look of sudden realization: "You want to sleep, don't you? Then go to sleep."

After finishing speaking, Brother Nine stretched out his long arms, threw Hong Jing down and stuffed him under the quilt, forcing his son to sleep on the bed with him.

The quilt is full of the smell of Roujia, so Hongjing is not afraid, not to mention that his father is sleeping next to him, but he doesn't want to sleep at all. The little guy is very energetic now. The arm directly suppressed him to prevent him from moving, and Hongjing began to struggle.

Although both Rou Jia and Brother Jiu felt that Hongjing had a good temper, he was not bad-tempered. He didn't cry when he was sealed up on the bed by Brother Jiu, but he fought against Brother Jiu with a sense of resistance.

Struggling and babbling again, seeing that elder brother Jiu didn't respond, Hong Jing went straight to his hands. After turning around, he stretched out his hand and pulled elder brother Jiu's eyelids, forcing his Ama to open his eyes.

"Ahhhhhh~" Hongjing used his own actions to prove what it means to never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep?

nonexistent!

If you can't wake up, it must be because you don't work hard!

Anyway, Hong Jing worked very hard, so Brother Jiu who was pretending to sleep was woken up by him... No, he was woken up by Hong Jing's ass.

"Master really owes you." Brother Jiu hugged Hongjing from his face and looked at him with a dark face and said, "It's fine if your mother-in-law rides on Ama's head to do her best, even You brat dare to sit on your Ama's face and be arrogant, who gave you the courage? Huh?"

How could Hongjing understand Brother Jiu's words? He thought he was just playing with him, so he squinted his eyes and smiled at him, looking like he wanted to continue sitting on Brother Jiu's face again.

Can Brother Nine do what he wants?

Of course it can't. Doesn't he want to lose face if he is a dignified nine Baylor?

Brother Jiu, who couldn't stay in bed any longer, got up from the bed, put Hongjing under his arm and went out. Seeing that Roujia was full, he threw the little guy into her arms: " Your son was born to collect debts from the master, right?"

Hongjing, who was thrown into Erniang's arms, didn't even know that he was rejected by Ama, and he was still happy. He smelled the delicious smell on Roujia, and the little guy's eyes lit up, and he directed at Roujia, " Ahhh" twice, as if wanting to beg for a bite.

"Where did the little greedy cat come from?" Rou Jia patted Er Shi's buttocks, hugged him and stood up, "Wait, Er Niang asked the big kitchen to prepare delicious food for you."

What Rou Jia said was delicious is actually egg custard, which may not be a particularly delicious food for their adults, but it is really delicious for Hongjing who drinks milk.

Probably because he is still young and there are too few things to eat, so in Hongjing's body, Roujia really didn't find any picky eaters in him, and he has always had a good appetite, so seeing him eat is really good. is a treat.

With every bite, he can give people a very delicious feeling.

Seeing Hongjing like this, not to mention Roujia, the mother-in-law, is happy, even Mama, Yifei, is also happy. Her eldest grandson has been raised fat and white, how could she not be happy? ?

Originally, Concubine Yi was worried that Roujia would not be able to raise Hongjing well because she was a mother-in-law for the first time because she had no experience in raising children, but who knew that Roujia's fate was so good, and she gave birth to Hongjing who was easy to serve in her whole life.

You must know that a healthy baby who is easy to take care of and less sick is really rare. Yifei can be said to be envious from the bottom of her heart. After all, the first child she raised herself was Brother Jiu, and Brother Jiu's Condition……

Just look at how many tears Yifei shed at the beginning to know what's going on with him.

So Concubine Yi said to Rou Jia: "Remember to take good care of this eldest grandson, Bengong, he saved you so much worry."

"Emiang, you've changed your mind." Roujia "blamed" crying (bushi), "In the past, you always asked Brother Nine to treat me well, but now you only tell me to take good care of Hongjing."

Is she no longer her little padded jacket?

"How old are you?" Concubine Yi was teased by Roujia, she nodded her twice with her fingers and said, "Isn't Hongjing your own? You're going to be jealous of him?"

"That's not what you said." Rou Jia said straightforwardly, "How can there be a mother and child in front of the fight for favor?"

"Just be silly, I'm not afraid that Hongjing will turn around and laugh at you as a mother-in-law when he hears this." Concubine Yi said that Roujia is unreliable, but well, she actually likes her quite a lot This is unreliable.

If you want to be mature and stable, there are many people like this in the palace, but what's the fun in getting along?Concubine Yi didn't mean that this was bad, but she still preferred her daughter-in-law to be more lively.

They are all young girls, what's wrong with being lively within the allowed range?Isn't it ridiculous that they are all in their teens but they are required to be mature and stable in their decades?

The concubine is mature and stable, sitting there without moving, but that is the good daughter-in-law that Kangxi wants, but not what Concubine Yi wants. Roujia is very good. The eldest daughter-in-law of Wufujin has been As I got closer to Roujia, my temper became more lively, which is also very good.

So Concubine Yi, who was satisfied with her two daughters-in-law, was dissatisfied with her two eldest sons. As for the younger one, because she was too young, it was cute to make mistakes, let alone never made any mistakes. Woolen cloth.

It's just that the fifth master is also Roujia's eldest uncle, so it's not easy for Concubine Yi to tell her about her eldest son in front of her, so she tells Roujia about brother Jiu.

Although Hongjing and Xiaoshi are still young, there are many maids and mothers who take care of others in Yikun Palace, so Concubine Yi is very relieved to let Xiaoshi and Hongjing, the uncle and nephew, play together.

"What's the situation with Little Nine and Brother Eight?" Yi Fei knew that even on her own territory, it might not be completely safe. She had been immersed in the harem for so many years, so she would naturally be more careful in her actions, so she asked Rou Jia He kept his voice down on purpose.

Rou Jia didn't say it directly, but in a low voice and in the most succinct way, told Yi Fei about Brother Jiu and Ba Ye. After listening to it, Yi Fei couldn't help laughing :"This is real?"

"Ninth brother asked him to pay back the money face to face, so is there any fake?" Rou Jia said, just as she finished speaking, she saw Concubine Yi clapping her hands and smiling, "That's really great."

As Brother Jiu's mother-in-law, maybe Concubine Yi doesn't know that Brother Jiu is following Ba Ye's ass?

Of course not.

Concubine Yi didn't stop her at the beginning, because the elder brothers were too young at that time. At that time, only the eldest elder brother and the prince who had not been crowned king were making trouble. To be honest, the other concubines were really not too big. ambition.

After all, the crown prince's status is as solid as gold, who would touch an egg to a rock when they have nothing to do?At that time, Concubine Yi was secretly laughing at Concubine Hui for giving birth to such a son.

At least the char siu can be eaten, but such a son can only make her worry, but Yi Fei never thought that the feng shui will change in less than 30 years, and it will be the turn of others to laugh at her for giving birth to such a son.

You said Brother Nine himself is not interested in the throne, so why bother with the matter of seizing the throne?Doesn't he feel ashamed to follow behind Ba Ye's ass and cheer for him?

You must know that Eighth Master is also following Zhijun Wang's ass now, so her son is following someone else's ass?

Why does she feel uncomfortable hearing this order?

Regarding this matter, Concubine Yi has talked and persuaded her, but unfortunately it is of no avail. It's as if the Eighth Master has lowered his head for Brother Nine, but Concubine Yi is so angry.

It's not without reason that Concubine Yi is not optimistic about Master Ba, because he has neither a good background nor a favored mother-in-law. She admits that he is indeed capable, but so what?

To be honest, among Kangxi's many sons, which one is incapable?Although everyone has shortcomings here or there, but to be honest, isn't Baye's shortcomings more obvious?

I won’t repeat this one by one. In addition, there is another reason why Concubine Yi doesn’t like Brother Jiu to hang out with Master Ba. What's the end? Let's take a step back, even if the eighth master really succeeded in seizing the heir, what then?

Eighth Master has succeeded, how should Ninth Brother deal with himself?

In the Spring and Autumn Period of the past, Fan Li knew that Yue Wang Goujian was a person who could share adversity but not wealth, so after assisting him in successfully dominating the Central Plains, he took the opportunity to retire and transferred from officialdom to shopping malls, and even changed his name. Surname, finally ended up a good death.

If Brother Nine had Fan Li's ability and astuteness, Concubine Yi wouldn't be so worried about him, but he just didn't, trusting Ba Ye so much that Concubine Yi felt flustered just looking at him.

Since ancient times, everyone has wanted someone who has the merits of a dragon. Concubine Yi can't see any kind of power and wealth.

A person born like Ba Ye is arrogant and inferior. Who can guarantee that after he ascends the throne, he will not want to look back on his unbearable past and do something to Brother Jiu and the others?

So now that I know Brother Jiu and Master Ba are torn apart, Concubine Yi is so happy that she can eat an extra bowl of rice, she said to Roujia: "Since they are torn apart, there is no need for them to reconcile in the future gone."

Concubine Yi is implying that Rou Jia should not give the two of them such an opportunity. Although Concubine Yi is Brother Jiu's biological mother, she lives in the palace all year round, and she is not even clear about Brother Jiu's every move like Rou Jia, who is next to her bedside. , so Yifei naturally left this matter to Roujia.

Rou Jia's position was the same as that of Concubine Yi, so she naturally had no objection to her explanation, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't talk about this topic anymore, because although this matter was important, it was not appropriate to discuss it in the palace.

However, Concubine Yi still asked Rou Jia in private, brother Jiu asked Ba Ye to pay back the money, did Ba Ye pay it back?

Concubine Yi didn't know exactly how much Ba Ye wanted to repay, but she probably guessed that it was a lot of money, so where would Ba Ye find the money to pay it back?

Don't forget that Concubine Yi has two grown-up elder brothers, so she naturally knows that if these princes leave the palace and live separately, if there is no mother-in-law subsidy and other filial piety, they will only rely on the 20 yuan from the emperor to settle down It's not enough to get by.

Rou Jia didn’t know where Ba Ye went to find the money to pay back, but from the time before the new year to the new year, he paid back 10,000+ one after another. As for whether the rest can be paid off, Rou Jia Not sure either.

On the contrary, Brother Nine said with certainty: "Don't worry, maybe Mynah will be able to pay off the money before the Longevity Festival at the earliest."

Before Wanshou?

Rou Jia thought about it, Kangxi's birthday is March [-]th, and now it's almost mid-February, can Ba ​​Ye pay back the money in such a short time?

Hearing Brother Nine's words with certainty, Rou Jia couldn't help but ask him: "How do you know? Brother Nine, do you know any ways for Brother Nine to get quick money?"

"Did you forget that the starling went on a tour with Huang Amasi this time?" Brother Jiu said, although Kangxi's leg was injured, but before the first month, Kangxi went to pull Shangzhi County King, Prince and four Grandpa, Baye, Brother Thirteen and Elder Fourteen went on a tour of the West together.

The purpose of this tour to the west is to train troops and parade, and at the same time to inspect the customs of officials and people. In fact, Rou Jia didn't know what the purpose was at the beginning. She only knew that after Kangxi and his people left, the atmosphere in the capital instantly relaxed. a lot.

"There are mynah people in Shaanxi, there are Kari, and there are businessmen, big and small, who want to become powerful." Nine princes just clicked, and Roujia was not stupid, and she understood what he meant right away. , He said that the way for Ba Ye to get money quickly is to accept bribes and filial piety, right?

"Then can we accept the money?" Roujia asked.

"Why not?" Brother Jiu said, "Anyway, if he returns it, you can keep it."

"Then myna's money should be quite easy." Rou Jia thought to herself, thanks to the fact that she thought she could teach Baye a lesson this time and make him burn out.

"What do you think?" Brother Jiu chuckled, but he didn't explain anything to Rou Jia. In fact, these things in the officialdom couldn't be explained clearly to Rou Jia. He didn't know why Ba Ye went to Shaanxi this time. It works, but if he really has something to do with Kari, it will be difficult to get rid of him in the future.

Rou Jia didn't understand what Brother Nine meant, but not long after Kangxi and the others came back from the west tour, Ba Ye had indeed paid off the rest of the money, and suddenly a large sum of money came into Rou Jia's account: "..."

Suddenly know what it means to have money and not know how to spend it.

On the other side, Brother Jiu suddenly got a piece of news from Fourth Master, and after learning about it, Brother Jiu's first reaction was——

Starling, brother really didn't mean to trick you.
