The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

It is said that travel is to spend money to buy discomfort, Rou Jia thinks this is true or not, sometimes it is really uncomfortable, but the world is so big, if you don’t go to places you have never been, how can you really know the world? Is it really surprising?

So knowing that traveling at this time will definitely not be very comfortable, Roujia still chooses to go, but it has to be considered whether to take Hongjing or not.

There are many reasons for not taking him, such as the child is too young, the journey is too long, the travel is hard, the child suffers, etc., but there is no reason why I want to take him——

Because I can't bear it.

It will take more than two months for Nan Xun to say. In this era without mobile phones and computers, if Roujia is really separated from Hongjing, it is impossible for Miss Son to listen to each other’s voice through the screen through a phone call and a video. to each other's faces.

"You want to take Hongjing to the south?" Brother Jiu glanced at Roujia when he heard her words.

"Isn't it possible?" Roujia looked at Brother Jiu pitifully, and hugged Hongjing over, and the mother and son looked at him together.

Being looked at by two pairs of similar eyes, Brother Jiu almost couldn't stand it anymore, he managed to maintain his rationality and said: "Hongjing is too small, it is easy to suffer on the road."

"No." Roujia analyzed with him, "Think about it, Hongjing and I are just driving to play, and we don't have to show up in front of Huang Ama. Although it is definitely not as comfortable as being at home, but carefully If you take care of it, you won’t suffer much.”

Roujia is her own mother and not a stepmother, if she really suffers, she will not be willing to bear it, and she certainly will not have the heart to take Hongjing with her to suffer it, as long as she stays with Hongjing.

In addition, there are so many waiters, and Hongjing's body is much stronger than children of the same age. The most important thing is that the current weather is very suitable for traveling, neither cold nor too hot, so Roujia really I think I can take Hongjing on a tour to the south.

After being analyzed by Roujia, Brother Jiu's thoughts are a little shaken, but...

"Emiang will definitely not agree."

At that time, people thought that children were fragile, and they wished that they would go out after they grew up healthy at home, but this concept was wrong. Roujia herself was fond of children, but she felt that they should be fine when they should be fine, and rough when they should be raised.

Letting Hongjing be weaned when he was over one year old will not be mentioned. After he learned to walk, Roujia no longer allowed people around him to hold Hongjing in his arms all the time. She thought that since Hongjing could walk by herself, why? Do you have to be hugged all the time?

Of course, this has to be appropriate, and Rou Jia will not be cruel enough to allow others to hug Hongjing at any time.

Rou Jia hugged Hongjing and bumped Brother Nine with her shoulder, and by the way pushed their mother and son into his arms, then smiled at him with bent eyes: "I know you must have a way, Brother Nine ~"

Hongjing, who was caught between his parents, turned his head to look at Roujia, then at Brother Jiu, and then imitated his mother and called him Ama in a childlike voice: "Jiu 啯~"

"Hahahahaha..." Roujia was originally very nervous and acted like a baby to Brother Nine, but Hongjing's milky "Jiu 啯" immediately made her laugh, "Jiu jiu, jiu jiu? Hahahahaha..."

Not to mention Roujia, Jiujiu couldn't hold it anymore, he was afraid that Roujia's hands would be sore, so he put his arm around Roujia who threw himself into his arms, took Hongjing from her arms with the other, and then Looking down at the innocent-looking brat who didn't know what he was doing, Brother Jiu couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Who are you with? I'm your old man."

"You still think the child's vocabulary is not big enough?"

When Roujia heard Brother Jiu say something like this, she couldn't help giving him a blank look. Children's imitation and learning abilities are really not covered. Now tell him about Lao Tzu, maybe one day it will really come from his mouth. The word "Lao Tzu" popped out.

"Look at you, your father and I were scolded by your mother." After being "taught" by Roujia, Brother Jiu turned around and went to "teach" his son. Unfortunately, Hongjing was not "taught" at all. Training", but giggled, and clapped his hands while laughing.

"This kid..." Brother Nine simply has nothing to do with him, what can he do?It's so cute and it's his own, let alone do it, he doesn't dare to "teach" it loudly.

Not to mention that Roujia was reluctant to leave Hongjing to go on a southern tour, even Brother Jiu was not too willing. Since Roujia was pregnant with him until now, Brother Jiu has been with him all the time except during office hours.

Even Roujia often throws the child to him to take care of him to cultivate the father-son relationship between the two of them. In addition, Hongjing is like a villain. Although he grew up on the nurse's milk, he is obviously closer Roujia and him, plus he and Roujia's first child, Brother Jiu didn't say anything, but in fact, he really loved him in his heart.

So Brother Jiu finally decided to take Hongjing with him and head south, as for Concubine Yi...

Well, Brother Jiu adopted the strategy of killing first and playing later, and promised to send Hongjing into the palace to be taken care of by Concubine Yi when they went on a southern tour. After all, after he and Roujia left, Hongjing could only stay in the palace. In the other courtyard, besides the servants serving in the other courtyard, there are only three grids in the backyard.

So Concubine Yi is of course worried about letting her good grandson stay alone in another courtyard. If she is sent to the palace to take care of her, then she can rest assured. In addition, he has his little uncle as his companion, so It is most suitable to send it to Yifei Palace and let her take care of it.

In the end, when it really came to the day of the southern tour, Brother Jiu packed Hongjing and his luggage and took them away. By the time Concubine Yi knew about it, the three of them had already run away.

"Er Niang must be pissed off now." Rou Jia said so, but she couldn't find the slightest worry on her face, because her mother-in-law is super easy to coax, just like Brother Jiu, she loves to hear rainbows fart.

At worst, after they go back from the southern tour, she will slap her rainbow fart as hard as she can.

"You also know that Yi'eniang will be pissed to death?" Although it is a group tour (bushi), not everyone meets and then sets off together.

That's why Si Fujin only found out after leaving Beijing that Roujia and Brother Jiu had even brought Hongjing, who was less than three years old (false age), with them. Wouldn't it be too bold for these two parents to be parents? ?

Although Sifujin herself brought Honghui with her, she only brought Honghui with her. Yu Ludai was left at home by her, and she brought her eldest son not only because Honghui was her own, but also because He's a big kid now, so he can be brought out into the world.

"I can't help it, Brother Nine and I are reluctant to be separated from Hongjing for so long." Rou Jia and the others brought along not only the attendants, but also the doctor from the house.

It's not that the doctor Jiu found was superior to all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital in terms of medical skills, but Hongjing has been using this doctor from before he was born to now, and he is more concerned about Hongjing's physical condition than any other doctor. The imperial physician or doctor must understand, so Roujia felt it was necessary to bring him along.

But of course, it would be best if he didn't need to be used along the way.

Hearing what Roujia said, Sifujin had no way to refute, she said: "Actually, I am also reluctant to leave Yuludai behind."

"Then why don't you bring Yuludai with you?" Rou Jia asked, not only because Yuludai was bigger than Hongjing, but also because the little girl's body was pretty good. Hui still needs to be healthy. After all, Si Ye and Si Fu Jin were already in their 20s when they gave birth to Yu Lu Dai.

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Sifujin glanced at Roujia, and then said, "I am very reluctant to part with Yuludai, but Yuludai is not the only child left at the house."

When Sifujin said this, Roujia understood what she meant. Sifujin only had two children, Honghui and Yuludai, but the fourth master had more than their two children. Even if he really wanted to bring a daughter out, Then it is the big Ge Geyeb Chunge in their house.

Thinking about it this way, Roujia felt that women in this era are really hard to be. For Si Fujin, Yebu Chunge and the others are the children of her evil son and enemy, but she still has to take care of them, just because they are still four Grandfather's child.

So this system of wives and concubines is really fucked up, because people are not robots, how can they treat everything calmly and rationally?

Anyway, if it were Roujia, she couldn't do it, at most she just ignored them. She knew the truth of childish innocence, but isn't her child also a pheasant?

So Roujia knew why the Crown Princess and Qifujin had their own children but didn't bring them for the southern tour. Maybe it wasn't because their children were too young, or they were little girls instead of boys, but because they couldn't bring them.

This time the Prince’s family brought the 11-year-old brother Hong Xi, the fourth master’s family brought Hong Hui, the seventh master’s family brought the elder brother Hong Shu, and Rou Jia’s family brought Hong Jing of course. , As for Elder Brother Twelve, they came alone as husband and wife because they have no children yet.

So he was the youngest, so he didn't have to go out with Ama to meet people, he just had to hang around with Er Niang, and Hongjing, who ate and drank, immediately became the favorite of the group on the boat.

Sifujin was already close to Roujia, and the princess concubine, Qifujin and Twelve Fujin wanted to have a son, and their husbands had no grievances with Brother Nine, so seeing the three-headed Hong Jing immediately fell in love with it.

The little guy looks white and tender, and has inherited the excellent genes of his parents in appearance. How can such a little dumpling with red lips and white teeth not be liked by others?

Except that the Twelve Fujins have never given birth, the Crown Princess, Sifujin and Seventh Fujin all have children, but their children are not with them at the moment (Hong Hui also goes out to meet people with Fourth Master), so The mother's love that has nowhere to rest is poured into Hongjing.

"I thought I would be bored on the boat, but I didn't expect you to bring Hongjing, the ninth brother and sister. Now it's all right, we won't be bored anymore." The princess smiled and said to Roujia while hugging Hongjing .

The little guy who is less than three years old (false age) is really too cute, and the princess and concubine who always talk about the rules are all cute by him, but Hongjing doesn't recognize him, as long as Roujia is present, no matter who He won't cry even when his aunt hugs him, he is so good that people don't know how to hurt him.

"Hongjing has such a good temper." Sifujin said with a smile, "I don't like to cry and don't admit life, and my body is so strong."

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't praise him." Roujia said, "As long as fourth brother doesn't think that Hongjing has spoiled your Yuludai."

"How do you say that?" Seventh Fujin asked curiously, even the Crown Princess and Twelve Fujin looked at Roujia, and then Roujia smiled and made the fourth master's little Gege play with Hongjing For more than ten days, I told them about the drastic change in style.

After Roujia finished speaking, the Crown Princess and the others couldn't help laughing. They hadn't seen Little Gege from the fourth master's family, but after listening to Roujia, they could probably imagine what kind of scene it was. up.

After all, Rou Jia's description is very vivid. Just imagine the three-headed little Gege who is "fierce and cute" when eating, like a female general charging into the battle. Just thinking about it, the picture is very cute.

Roujia thought, Fourth Master probably wouldn't find it cute (bushi) anymore hahahahaha... Every time she thought of Fourth Master's expression at that moment when Yuludai laughed out loud in front of Ruyi Building, Roujia Jia couldn't stop laughing.

But even with Hongjing around, the life on the boat was really boring. After all, they couldn't plan their favorite itinerary, but had to follow Kangxi's plan.

And Kangxi's southern tour was not for fun, but Roujia and the others were more relaxed than the Crown Princess. After all, along the road south, not only Kangxi had to bring the princes to meet local officials, but the Crown Princess also had to receive many imperial wives.

Don't think this is an easy job. Although I have met many people, it will not be boring, but it is very brain-intensive. After all, I am not a common person. Many people are meeting for the first time. When talking, I can't express my sense of unfamiliarity. , Don't even think about it, you know that this kind of communication and entertainment will definitely be very tiring.

So it's good to be bored, but when Yu Zhou entered the territory of Jiangning Mansion, Rou Jia and the others were no longer bored.

After arriving at Jiangning Mansion, Kangxi abandoned his boat and rode a horse to enter through Changmen. The people of Jiangning Mansion heard the news and came here just to see the sky. After all, in the eyes of the common people, the status of the emperor is no different from the characters in mythology. Therefore, the streets of Jiangning Mansion were immediately blocked.

And Kangxi also showed a very close to the people. Seeing the common people lined up to greet them, he asked people to walk slowly. After entering the residential area, he dismounted directly and visited the people's homes in person. Are they fed enough, clothed warmly and so on and so forth.

The prince and others who followed Kangxi also let go of their usual arrogant side, trying to keep up with Kangxi's footsteps.

When Kangxi and the others visited the common people and went to Ruiguang Temple to pray for blessings, Roujia and the other female relatives entered the inner house of Jiangning Weaving Mansion along with the Crown Princess.

When it comes to Jiangning Weaving Mansion, Cao Xueqin has to be mentioned. After all, his "Dream of Red Mansions" is recognized as the pinnacle of Chinese classical novels, but it is only 43 years of Kangxi, and Cao Xueqin and Cao Dada have not yet been born.

If Rou Jia wanted to see her, she would probably only be able to see the wives of Cao Da’s grandfather, Cao Yin, and Ama Cao Yong... After all, men and women are different. People don't think so.

But if you can’t see it, you won’t see it. Compared with seeing the two old men, Rou Jia wants to see the place where Cao Dada lives in the future. Before coming here, Rou Jia already knew from Brother Jiu what the official position of Jiangning weaving represents. up.

This is an official position in charge of many wealth in Jiangnan, and how rich Jiangnan is, even if you think about it, you will know, and Cao Da's great-grandfather, grandfather and father are all hereditary Jiangnan weaving.

What does this mean?

This means that Kangxi trusted the Cao family very much. The key point was not to trust one of the Cao family father and son, but to trust the Cao family. Kangxi made six southern tours in his life, and four of them were stationed in Jiangning Weaving Mansion.

This shows how strong the family members of the Cao family are, and it's no wonder that the ninth elder brother, the fourth master, and the fifth master did not attack the Cao family when they paid the debts from the national treasury. It's not that they didn't dare, but they couldn't.

Because it is not someone else standing behind the Cao family, but Kangxi.

The ones who came to receive the Crown Princess and others were Cao Yin's mother, Sun, and her family members. This Sun was not only Cao Yin's mother, but also Kangxi's nanny, so even the Crown Princess would not dare to get big in front of Sun, let alone Sifu Jin and them.

After a friendly meeting with Sun and other members of the Cao family, Roujia and the others moved into the residence they had prepared for them in advance. Along the way, the scenery of Zhizao Mansion came into their sight. , although it is not as solemn as the palace, the layout is quite exquisite, and it has the beauty of a Jiangnan water town.

To be honest, the Cao family has been running the Jiangning Weaving Mansion for the second generation. If there is no accident, when Cao Yong grows up, he will take over his father's stick and continue to become the next Jiangning Weaving.

Therefore, it is normal to regard this Jiangning weaving mansion as the Cao family's residence. After all, it is a place where several generations will live. Naturally, it has to be decorated better, and it doesn't matter whoever comes.

But this is too well decorated, right?Every plant and tree in here exudes a breath of gold and nobility, making people have to guess how much the Cao family is short-lived?

But this is not something Roujia needs to worry about, after all, she doesn't believe that Kangxi can't see through the tricks inside, but since he is not in a hurry as an emperor, and Liang Jiugong and other eunuchs are not in a hurry, so why is she in a hurry?

Instead of worrying about the loss of the Cao family, it is better to worry about when Brother Jiu will take her out to play?

But this is not urgent, after all, Brother Jiu wanted to be passive and sabotage work, but Kangxi did not give him this opportunity. The princes who came to the southern tour this time did not bring many princes, so Brother Jiu still wants to be absent from work?

Don't even think about it.

So when Roujia was disappointed, she decisively chose to go out by herself (Jiu Age: ...), and she didn't plan to ask Si Fujin and the others, not because of anything else, but mainly because she was afraid that the place she went would be harmful to them It's too exciting.

The place Roujia is going to is not elsewhere, but the brothel she has always been curious about.

It's just that Rou Jia didn't provoke Si Fujin and the others, but Pu Tao and the others. If the dignified Prince Fujin was found out and went to brothels, this, this, this...

What kind of system is this?

"What are you afraid of? If I don't tell you, if you don't tell me, who else will know?" Roujia said, "Let's go quietly and come back quietly, it will be fine."

Rou Jia didn't think that a prince Fujin would be stared at by others, and now everyone's attention was attracted by Kangxi and the others.

Putao and the others couldn't hold back Roujia, so they took Hongjing elder brother out to "fight the fire": "Then Fujin, do you ignore elder brother? The master is not here, how can elder brother be away from others?"

"This..." Roujia frowned. Seeing this, Putao and the others were overjoyed immediately, but they were happy for less than three seconds, when Roujia suddenly clapped her hands, "Then I'll just take Hongjing with me, and he will do it." As a cover, no one doubts that I will go to the brothel, right?"

Putao and others: "..."

They hugged Brother Hongjing out because they wanted him to "put out the fire", not to assist him! ! !

"This brothel is full of fish and dragons, the elder brother is still young, you should be careful in everything, Fujin." Putao and the others took turns persuading her, and Rou Jia admitted that what they said made sense, so she changed her mind.

"Okay, then don't go to the brothel."

Putao and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Roujia say, "Isn't it okay for us to charter a boat to enjoy the night view of Jiangning?"

Then this one can.

Putao and the others nodded, and after they knew that what Roujia wanted to charter was not a serious boat, but a dishonest flower boat...

Putao and others: "...!!!"

Fujin still doesn't give up, right?

Now Brother Nine is not here, the biggest one is Rou Jia, and the second is Brother Hong Jing who listens to Rou Jia the most, so they try to stop them, and finally Putao and the others follow Rou Jia who is disguised as a man. Unscrupulous flower boat.

Because she is willing to spend money, Roujia's flower boat is a real "flower" boat, and even the boatmen are all good-looking little brothers, with that appearance, that figure...

suck~

There are also those young ladies who serve, whether they are playing the piano, dancing with the sound of the piano, or even pouring tea and water for them, all of them are beautiful and juicy.

In the past, Roujia was thinking, are rich people really happy?But now she knows, rich people are really happy hahahahaha!

Not only Roujia, but even Putao couldn't help but stare dumbfounded. They never thought that a woman's waist could be so soft. For a moment, they thought they saw Concubine Mei reborn.

Sitting in Roujia's arms, Hong Jing saw that his small mouth became an "o" shape, and those beautiful deer eyes were looking at the beautiful young lady who danced lightly without blinking.

After dancing to a song, not only Rou Jia applauded, but even Hong Jing clapped again and again, obviously the little guy likes this kind of performance very much.

******

On the other side, Brother Jiu, who was accompanying Kangxi to socialize, smelled his body on the way back after the banquet, and was thinking about whether to find a place to change and wash before going back, when he bumped into Rou who had just come back. Jia and his party.

Looking at Rou Jia who was disguised as a man, and Hong Jing who had a lip print on her fleshy face, and smelling the rouge and gouache on their bodies heavier than her own, Brother Jiu: "...?? ????"
