The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival. In the 21st century, most people would celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival by eating zongzi and hanging mugwort leaves and calamus. But it is different now in the Qing Dynasty. There are many new tricks.

For the Aixinjueluo family, the Dragon Boat Festival is like a grand summer party, because it does not only hold activities on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, but starts from the first day of May and lasts until the fifth day of May. It's over.

That is to say, the Dragon Boat Festival in the Qing Dynasty was high for five consecutive days.

When it comes to Dragon Boat Festival, we have to mention zongzi. Whenever this time comes, it is Roujia's turn to laugh at brother Jiu.

why?

Because Rou Jia will always remember Brother Jiu’s shocked, unbelievable and disgusting reaction when she found out that she asked someone to make salty meat dumplings. At that time, Brother Jiu said: “Just kidding, how can pork be stuffed in rice dumplings? Want to add salted egg yolk? Uh..."

On the spot, Brother Jiu expressed his inability to accept it, because zongzi should be sweet, and the combination of glutinous rice and meat is really terrible.

Roujia: "...!!!"

Bad ball!

Glutinous rice with pork and salted egg yolk, dried shrimp and mushrooms, this combination is really not a joke, it is so delicious that it makes people wow.

Roujia, who absolutely does not allow anyone to be ignorant, asked Chef Chen and the others to make a few temporarily according to what she said, and then Roujia gave Brother Nine a heads-up.

At that time, Brother Jiu’s expression was really oh, people who didn’t know thought that Rou Jia was not forcing him to eat meat dumplings, but forced him to eat rice dumplings, and took the first bite with a feeling of generosity... …

Well, it seems to be okay?

The glutinous rice with the aroma of zong leaves and the salty red beans taste oily and elastic.

Take another bite...

Well, I have bitten into mushrooms and dried shrimps.

The soft and delicious mushrooms and dried shrimps with a seafood flavor well neutralize the blandness of the glutinous rice.

One more bite...

Well, that's right, it's pork.

The three-point fat and seven-point lean pork is steamed and the oily fragrance is combined with other raw materials to have a complex taste, rich and delicious.

One more bite...

Finally bit the salted egg yolk.

Bite down the seemingly ordinary salted egg yolk, the rustling taste makes people feel novel, and the strong taste of salted egg yolk is fascinating. It is eaten with glutinous rice dipped in egg butter, which makes people eat a kind of The deliciousness of crab roe.

This salted meat dumpling is really amazing!

Seeing Brother Jiu's series of transformations from the disgust and extreme reluctance at the beginning to the gradual acceptance and even to the last meal until he was about to ascend to immortality, Rou Jia almost wanted to laugh with his hands on his hips——

Sure enough, no one can resist the delicious taste of salted meat dumplings.

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)

This year, Roujia and the others are a family of three sitting together to make zongzi. For Brother Jiu, he is not so rigid and does not have so many rules.

He has never boasted that he is a gentleman, and he does not think that he can do anything. Before they entered the customs, they did not have so many rules. Like Mongolian men, who would not know how to use local materials to make a fire? BBQ?

As for Roujia, although she is a veritable handicapped party, and her hands-on ability is not good, it is still possible to make zongzi by hand. Well, although the wrapping is not very good-looking, it doesn't matter, it's all eaten by the family, what is the appearance? Don't pay too much attention to it.

As for Hongjing, I don't care even more, because the little guy is here for fun. At this stage full of curiosity about everything, as long as it is fun, there are no rules at all.

The three masters in the house are like this, so the people below naturally don't dare to say anything, and it's not a big deal to just make rice dumplings... right?

Anyway, on the surface, He Yuzhu, who was cooperating with Brother Nine and the others, asked people to keep their mouths shut in private.

"Come on, let's do this first." Although it's true that Rou Jia is handicapped, it's still more than enough to teach a cute newbie like Hong Jing how to make zongzi. After one-on-one teaching, the little guy actually made zongzi in a decent way.

"It's amazing." After helping Hongjing to tie up the rice dumplings with cotton rope, Rou Jia immediately clapped his hands at him, "Our Hongjing is really a genius, next year we will hand over our rice dumplings to you. "

Hong Jing, who had no idea what these words meant, was arrogantly praised by Rou Jia, and he responded with a childlike voice, "Okay~"

"What's so good? Do you know what it means? That's 'good'?" Although Brother Nine is a man, he is the best one among the three of them when making dumplings.

So Rou Jia stuffed Hong Jing into Brother Nine's arms, and then said with a smile, "Let's leave it to you to teach the child, try to be a teacher today, and next year we will be able to enjoy the filial piety of our son."

According to the current identities of Roujia and Brother Jiu, let alone want to eat rice dumplings, even if they want to eat some delicacies from mountains and seas, if they order them in one sentence, someone will naturally cook them well and bring them to them.

But if you don't do it, you can enjoy it without doing it, and you can have fun if you do it. Anyway, there are no parent-child activities these days, and making zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival is considered a reserved item for their family.

Hearing Rou Jia's words, Brother Nine felt that it made sense, so he patiently taught Hong Jing how to make zongzi, hoping to become a teacher today and to receive his respect next year.

Putao and others who were waiting on the sidelines: "..."

Such enslavement of the little elder brother is really blinding.

I don't know if it's because the zongzi are made by themselves, so they taste extra delicious after steaming. It's not that Roujia and the others are selling melons and boasting about themselves, but that they make zongzi themselves, which are indeed better than those made in the palace. The ones are even more delicious.

Most of them in the palace are sweet rice dumplings, such as candied fruit rice dumplings, red date rice dumplings, bayberry rice dumplings, lotus rice dumplings, walnut rice dumplings, bean paste rice dumplings, etc. The salty ones are less salty, and the raw materials are not so rich, so eat as you go. Let's go, Roujia thinks it's better to cook at home.

Of course, in addition to red beans, Roujia also likes meat dumplings made of soybeans. She used to eat these rice dumplings every year only during festivals, because they were given out by relatives in the countryside during festivals. Yes, compared to the usual meat dumplings, this soy rice dumpling tastes a bit salty and slightly spicy, and the taste is just as good.

The only thing I don't like is that there are onions in it!

Let me explain in advance that it’s not that Rou Jia doesn’t like onions, but she only eats onions that are chopped and then sautéed and sprinkled on steamed rice noodles, and onions that are directly smashed and added with soy sauce and peanut oil to dip white-cut chicken, like this one wrapped in rice dumplings She doesn't like steamed shallots at all.

At that time, my mother always said that Joo Chia was picky eaters, Joo Chia thinks...

Well, what's the matter with her being a picky eater, you can't blame her if she doesn't like food, it's impossible to force her to eat, right?

Although the rice dumplings made in the palace are not as delicious as those made at home, the programs in the palace are much richer and more exciting than those at home. The two of them took him directly to Xiyuan to participate in the traditional program of the Dragon Boat Festival in the palace——

Dragon Boat Race.

Because her mother is from Cantonese, Rou Jia also watched dragon boat races when she was a child. What impressed me the most was the atmosphere at the scene. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as lively.

The same goes for the dragon boat races in the Qing Dynasty. Although people are a little more restrained now, the atmosphere at the scene is equally high. How high is it?Hongjing in Roujia's arms couldn't sit still anymore.

This time passed day by day, and Hongjing's age increased along with his weight. It was better to hold him, but now he was jumping and moving, and Roujia really almost hugged him. .

The little guy usually likes to cling to Roujia. If you ask him whether he likes Ama or Erniang the most, the little guy will definitely answer that he likes Erniang without thinking, but now...

"Er Niang, I want Ama." Hong Jing, who is more than three years old (empty), has become much more articulate, at least able to call out the word "Er Niang" clearly, no longer just shouting like before "Cool".

"Brat, do you despise Erniang now?" How could Roujia not understand why the little guy wanted his Ama all of a sudden?Immediately, she reached out and patted his little butt, but still handed him over to Putao, and asked her to carry him to find Brother Nine.

Seeing this, Hongxuan in Qiqige's arms hurriedly yelled to find Ama, Qiqige couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you want to find your Ama or follow your brother Hongjing?"

This is a good question...

Well, Hongxuan really wants to follow Hongjing.

"People who don't know, think that Hongxuan of our family and Hongjing of your family were born by the same parents." Qiqige couldn't help but said to Roujia, "I took Hongxuan out that day, and when he saw the candied haws If I want to eat, I can’t buy him one skewer, but I have to ask for two skewers. After taking it home, our master thought that the other skewer was left for him by Hongxuan, and just wanted to praise him for his filial piety, but sister-in-law Jiu, do you know what Hongxuan said? ?”

"How to say?"

"Hongxuan said it was reserved for brother Hongjing. The expression on our master's face at that time really made me laugh to death." Qiqige said with her eyes bent, because she had a good relationship with Roujia, and brother ten He and brother Jiu are brothers who are so close that they can wear the same pair of pants, so Qiqige is actually very happy to see his son playing with Hongjing so well.

After all, children need playmates very much, don't care whether Qiqige will give birth to younger siblings, but before the younger siblings are born, does he have to play alone all the time?

As for the other elder brothers in the mansion... Forget it, Qiqige is worried about the other party, and the other party is probably also worried about his son playing with her son.

Roujia also couldn't help laughing. Like Qiqige, she was very happy to see Hongjing and Hongxuan getting closer. After all, she has not yet decided whether to have a second one. If not, Hongxuan Let's not talk about whether Jing will have other half-brothers or sisters, anyway, there are definitely no half-brothers and sisters.

In this way, it is hard to guarantee that you will not feel lonely.

Because this year these older brothers are going to participate in the dragon boat race together, so Brother Jiu and the others are at the front, the closer they are to the arena, the more exciting it is to watch.

Compared with modern times, ancient dragon boats are particularly gorgeous. The wooden dragon head is raised high, and the expressions are vividly carved, while the dragon tail is also rolled up high, and the dragon scales on it are extraordinarily exquisite. When such a dragon boat When paddling together on the lake, it can be said that the orchids are agitating and the flags are rippling. The scene is quite spectacular and lively.

When the winner was about to be decided, even many of the female family members sat up straight and moved forward slightly, as if they wanted to see more clearly.

When one of the dragon boats surpassed other parallel dragon boats to win the first place in the final sprint stage, there was a huge burst of cheers at the scene, but when everyone's attention was on the field, they No one noticed that the shelves that had been erected seemed to have pillars that were crumbling.

No, it didn't seem like, but there was indeed a pillar that was crumbling, because soon, there were screams one after another at the scene, and the scene was in chaos.

Because the shelf that was erected collapsed.

Facing the unexpected accident, Roujia's first reaction was to be thankful that Hongjing had just "argued" to go to his Ama. She believed that Qiqige's thoughts at the moment should be similar to hers, but Roujia It was more unlucky than Qiqige, because when she was retreating, someone squeezed her, and Roujia stumbled and fell directly from the stairs.

Luckily, Roujia had walked more than half of the stairs, so she didn't fall too badly, it's just...

Roujia covered her stomach that suddenly ached, her face became a little ugly.

"Xiao Jiu's family!"

"Ninth sister-in-law!"

Yifei and Qiqige who are closest to Roujia are the two who react the fastest. They are both pregnant and have been mothers. When they see Roujia's situation, their hearts jump suddenly.

"It's okay, don't panic." Concubine Yi took a deep breath, stepped forward to hold Roujia's hand, then turned her head and said to the waiter at the side, "Hurry up, please ask the imperial physician! Bring Xiaojiu to Bengong!"

There is no need for Liuli and the others to look for it. Brother Jiu, who found out that something happened here, rushed here immediately. Seeing Roujia fell to the ground, Brother Jiu hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up, and had no time to say anything. Throwing down the sentence "Emiang, I will take Roujia to Cuixin Palace first" and strode away.

"Liuli, hurry up and invite the imperial physician to the Cuixin Palace." Concubine Yi ordered her maid, the Cuixin Palace is the closest palace to here.

Liuli responded quickly, then turned around and went to invite the imperial physician. It was no trivial matter if the shelf that had been set up fell down, but now another accident happened, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense in an instant.

They are all gangsters in the palace, who knows whether what happened today was an accident or a conspiracy?It would be easier to talk about it if it was an accident, but if it was a conspiracy...

"Let me thoroughly investigate what's going on here." Kangxi ordered with a cold face, his original good mood has been defeated now, his eyes swept over the sons below one by one. The coercive gaze made people panic.

Brother Jiu didn't know what was going on at the scene, he hugged Roujia and ran towards Cuixin Palace non-stop. He looked ahead and his lips were tightly drawn.

Seeing his ugly face... People who didn't know thought he was the one who was injured, Rou Jia leaned into his arms and asked him: "You hug me here, what about Hongjing?"

"Take care of yourself first." This is the first time Brother Jiu spoke to Rou Jia in such a vicious tone. After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "Master has already handed over Hongjing to Fourth Brother." , he will watch him."

Hearing what brother Jiu said, Roujia was relieved. She was injured here, and she didn't want to have another accident on Hongjing's side. It's just that the relief made Roujia feel her stomach hurt more, and she didn't know if it was her She always has a bad premonition.

In fact, this is not Rou Jia's illusion.

Liuli's speed is very fast, Brother Jiu just hugged Roujia on the front foot and arrived at Cuixin Palace not long after, Liuli arrived with the imperial doctor on the back foot, seeing Roujia lying on the bed with an ugly face, the imperial doctor was taken aback immediately, Gu With nothing else to do, she quickly felt Roujia's pulse.

It seemed like a long time had passed, and it seemed that it had only been a while, seeing the imperial doctor's fingers on Rou Jia's wrist, he frowned and remained silent, Brother Jiu's face became even more ugly.

Just when Brother Jiu got impatient and was about to speak, the imperial physician withdrew his hand, and said, "Jiu Beile, Jiu Fujin, here is good news and bad news."

"Don't fool me, hurry up." Brother Jiu's tone seemed to be angry.

"Back to Jiubeile, the good news is that Jiufujin has been pregnant for more than a month, and the bad news is that Jiufujin's fall showed faint signs of a miscarriage."

The imperial doctor didn't expect that he would encounter such an unlucky thing. Which master would he usually take the pulse of? If he had a happy pulse, then rewarding silver is basically indispensable, but in the current situation like Roujia——

If you obviously have a happy pulse, but you encounter signs of miscarriage, don't even think about rewarding money, if you can't keep the baby, you will probably be angered.

Sure enough, Brother Jiu who heard that Roujia was pregnant for more than a month had not had time to be happy for a few seconds before he was completely ruined by the bad news from the imperial doctor.

"Then what are you still doing stupidly? Why don't you give Fujin a quick fix?" Brother Jiu was almost pissed off by the other party, "If anything happens to the child in Fujin's stomach, I won't spare you!"

Imperial Physician: "..."

He is worthy of being the son of Long Live God.

These threatening words are all in the same line, right?

The imperial doctor complained secretly, while quickly giving Roujia an injection to prevent miscarriage. After several years of recuperation, Roujia's body and bones are actually much healthier, so this fall will not cause her to have a miscarriage.

After pulling out the needle for Roujia, the imperial doctor wiped the faint sweat from his forehead, and then said: "Jiu Fujin's pregnancy is temporarily saved, but it's best not to move now, the next official is now prescribing a medicine for Jiu Fujin." Fetal medicine, after drinking it, it will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Liuli, go with the imperial physician and bring the medicine over after the medicine is cooked." Then, brother Jiu added, "I leave this matter to you, and you will be responsible for any accidents."

"Lord Belle, don't worry." Liuli naturally knew what Brother Jiu meant by this. After all, whether the collapse of the shelf was man-made, I don't know if Jiu Fujin's accident was man-made, and in such a situation Naturally, be careful.

Although Liuli is not a servant of Jiubeile's mansion, she is a servant of Concubine Yi. Naturally, she knows that Concubine Yi is good only if Brother Jiu is good, and concubine Yi is good, and they are good slaves.

After Liuli and the others retreated, Brother Jiu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Roujia. Thinking of what happened just now, he couldn't help but said: "It's the same accident, why is it that you are the only one who is fine?"

"Can this be my fault?" Rou Jia rolled her eyes at Brother Jiu. After the doctor's injection, her stomach pain was no longer so severe, so she now had the strength to argue with Brother Jiu, "The back of my head is gone again." If I don't have eyes, how would I know someone would squeeze me?"

"Tsk." Brother Nine did not accept Rou Jia's explanation, "You're so stupid."

Rou Jia looked at Brother Jiu silently: "I seriously doubt that you want to be beaten!"

Who is stupid?

Do you want to die or don't you want to live?

"Master, wait." Brother Nine said with a chin.

Rou Jia looked at Brother Jiu, then suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Brother Jiu's hand, squeezed it twice and then smiled at him, Brother Jiu glanced at her, but didn't say anything, just held Rou Jia tightly hold his hand.

Just now when I was downstairs, the moment I saw the shelf collapse, Brother Jiu's heart really stopped suddenly. He ran over here.

But he didn't expect to see Rou Jia lying on the ground.

Seeing that Roujia gradually fell asleep after drinking the medicine, elder brother Jiu let go of her hand, tucked the quilt for her and then got up and left lightly. After walking outside, elder brother Jiu ordered Putao and longan to stay Roujia is guarded here, and if there is anything to do, send someone to look for him or Concubine Yi, then let Liuli go back to Concubine Yi, and tell her about Roujia's situation by the way.

Although the imperial doctor just said that it would be good for Roujia to rest after drinking the anti-fetal medicine, but it will take a lot of time to go back to Jiubeile Mansion from Xiyuan, so if there is no accident, they will have to rest in Xiyuan tonight If it's done, I have to tell Concubine Yi about this matter, and ask her to help take care of it.

After ordering all the things he thought of, Brother Jiu lifted his foot and left. Regarding what happened just now, not only Kangxi wanted to find out what was going on here, but Brother Jiu also wanted to find out who was behind it. What the hell!

Better not let him find out!

Otherwise, he won't let go of any of them!

******

Hongjing is no stranger to Fourth Master, and it would be no problem to be hugged by him in normal times, but now Hongjing is struggling to find Ama and Erniang.

Although he is small, he vaguely knows what happened, so he is very uneasy at the moment, and wants to stay beside his Ama and Erniang.

The fourth master who didn't want to admit that he was weak but was indeed unable to hold him: "..."

The food for the children of the Ninth Brother's family must be too good, right?
