Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

Despite Si Age's painstaking efforts, Tian Mi still found out the news during dinner at night.

Seeing that all the people in the room were waiting carefully, they didn't dare to make any noise.Tian Mi knew that they were afraid of getting angry.

Not really, the relationship between himself and the emperor is at most a little better than that of acquaintances, and there is no relationship. Whether he is scum or bad, that is his business.

Tian Mi is very clear at the moment, the person she cares most about is the fourth elder brother, and then maybe the Tong family members, as for the others, she has to step back.

Seeing the news, the fourth elder brother finally revealed it, so he quickly acted like a baby, because he had gradually abandoned the skill of acting like a baby one or two years ago, so it might be a bit blunt to act like a baby now.

Tian Mi couldn't help laughing when she saw that he was not being a girl. "Don't worry, this kind of person can't be taken back to the palace. There are people here in Suzhou who offer beauties, so don't they come to Jinling? It's not like Er Niang doesn't like it."

So if you really care about this, it may be that you will not live for a month.

Seeing that Tian Mi really didn't care, the fourth elder brother finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the mother and son happily ate and dispersed.

It can be a little easier in Suzhou. After arriving in Jinling, Tian Mi's busy days will come, so at this time, it is inevitable to work overtime to make up for myself and make some preparations in advance.

Tian Mi asked people to collect news about the female relatives in the south of the Yangtze River. Regardless of whether it is true or not, they collected a book. On the surface, it reads that they have some good reputations, such as respecting the old and loving the young, being kind and generous, and going outside the city to ask for help. God worshiping Buddha... At first glance, everyone seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

But Tian Mi still divides these people into groups based on their different status.At that time, most of the official women's family members will be encouraged to go back and persuade their husbands to work hard to be loyal to the emperor. This attitude changes according to the emperor's attitude.If the emperor wants to beat a certain Jiangnan official, Tian Mi has to cooperate and speak harsh words to the official's wife or mother.

It's another attitude to treat Jiangnan celebrities.Be sure to win them over with kindness, amiability and majesty.

For this reason, Tian Mi also prepared some clothes for herself, and hung a full set of jewelry on her body when meeting those wives.When meeting those Jiangnan Han people, you have to dress like a Han family, try to wear as little jewelry as possible, be sure to speak well, and have a friendly and easy-going attitude...

After Tian Mi finished these preparations, she asked a few maids to help her remember what was inappropriate, and if there was any, she should change it now.

The day before leaving for Jinling, Tian Mi asked someone to inspect the things they brought from the capital. These were all rewards. Today’s inspection is to determine what was given to whom, whether it was damaged due to the bumps on the road, and if any Take it out quickly, and prepare a lot of spares.

When Kangxi came, Tian Mi was leading the maids to make the final preparations, looking at the booklet in Tian Mi's hand, and stretched out the other hand to count some hairpin rings over and over again.

"Cousin, you've been busy for a few days, let's take a rest early, we have to go on the road tomorrow."

"Look at what my cousin said, I've been preparing for so long, and I'm just waiting to use it tomorrow. How can I rest at ease right now. Besides, I've spent a lot of time and money to come to Jiangnan. I know what the purpose is. At this time, it's Huairou. Come here, I want to form a good relationship in my heart, but I can't make people think too much because of the reward."

And because there is a difference between men and women, Kangxi acts like a thunderbolt at the front, while Tian Mi has to act softly at the back.Tian Mi is an imperial concubine, and she has a good relationship with these female relatives of Jiangnan gentry families. Those old princes in the capital will not say that they have fallen into the face of the Qing Dynasty, after all, they are not queens.

Tian Mi thought for a while that her itinerary was really full. Apart from doing the things that a royal concubine should do, she also had to find someone to secretly strengthen herself.

I can't help but praise myself in my heart. This kind of busy life is really fulfilling, and it passes in a blink of an eye. I have achieved my goal every day, and I feel a lot of accomplishment.

Seeing that Tian Mi has worked hard for several days, Kangxi was moved in his heart, and pulled Tian Mi's white and tender paws, "Cousin...it's better to be a cousin."

Tian Mi smiled slightly. In addition to fulfilling her duties and strengthening herself, she also had to talk to her occasionally. In addition to raising children and fighting for concubines, even a bone spirit in modern society is not as busy as she is.

But these tasks can't be shirked, Tian Mi held his dragon claw with his backhand, "Look at what my cousin said, we've been together for so many years, so it's a perfect relationship, I'm fine with you."

Having said that, Kangxi also smiled, "Yes, we want to live together for a long time, and stay together for the rest of our lives, so that there will be no regrets in a hundred years of life."

Tian Mi flattered her without hesitation, "Looking at what my cousin said, my cousin is naturally long live long live..."

Kangxi shook his head, "This is a lie. Those slaves said a few words to make us happy. How could there be a long live long live? After we die, there will naturally be heroes from all walks of life in this world. If you don’t die, how can Han Wu stand out? So in the future, you don’t need to comfort yourself with these long live long live rhetoric, a hundred years go by in a blink of an eye, you and I just cherish it.”

He said to cherish it, and in a blink of an eye, after arriving in Jinling, Cao Yin's father, Cao Xi, also presented a beautiful woman. It is said that they are still a pair of sisters, twins who look exactly the same.

Because I arrived after lunch on the first day in Jinling, I didn’t receive outsiders. The people from the Cao family accompanied me for a while, and after dinner, Kangxi called Tian Mi over in the garden of the Cao family. .

Next to him are three beauties, including twins.

Kangxi pointed to the third person and said, "Cousin, come and sit down, they are good at silk and bamboo, let them play a piece for you and me."

Afterwards, the beauties presented by Suzhou played the pipa, one of the twins played the flute, and the other stood up and sang a Wuyin soft song.

Because the women Tian Mi met in her previous life were all female men. According to a friend, when she was living in poverty in her early years, she used to carry a gas tank on her shoulder to exchange gas in order to save service fees.After coming to the Qing Dynasty, all the women I came into contact with were Manchu women.Banner people jokingly call the girls aunts. Although they have been in the customs for a while, the girls still have a tough style. These girls are relatively strong and not short in stature.He is proficient in horseback riding and archery from a good family. The most notable feature is that he has a relatively loud voice, which can make people's ears hurt with just opening his mouth.

Compared with these weak women in Jiangnan, such a female man really has no advantage in front of men.Listening to these women in Jiangnan, the kind of softness bursts out from the bones, and listening to them singing is even more so. The voice is like the name of Bailing, and the tune is soft and melodious... Tian Mi herself is deeply addicted to it.

Can't help but nod in praise, "This little song is really good."

"That's right, I also said it was good, and I specially invite you to listen."

Then the two were immersed in Wu Yin together and couldn't extricate themselves.When Tian Mi came back to her senses, she realized that she and Kangxi had a slightly different feeling when getting along with each other.It's not like a husband and wife relationship, family affection is more than love, if you talk about it more carefully, other people have only called Tian Mi two "imperial concubine" and "cousin" ".

Tian Mi recalled her attitude towards him again, it seemed that she mostly cooperated with him, and there was no emotion involved.

Fuck me... actually the two of them reached a high level of agreement in this regard.

So when I saw him drink some wine and leave with drunken hugs left and right, all my regrets lie in the feeling of "the concert is over, it's over too early!".

Tian Mi decided not to wrong herself, so she turned her head and said to Herring: "When you see the wife of the Cao family, tell her to ask the Cao family to prepare some players who can play and sing for me. It doesn't matter how you look, you must sing. Nice to hear."

The wife of the Cao family is Kangxi's wet nurse. When the two met at noon today, they wanted to hug each other and cry. Kangxi's affection for this wet nurse was definitely more sincere than that for the queen mother in the palace.

This Madam Cao is also a wonderful person, flattering the emperor and imperial concubine with ease.

When Tian Mi took off the hairpin on her head and was about to rest, Mammy Cao came over, first said a few words, and then said that she would invite the empress to watch a small show tomorrow.

At this time, there was no Peking Opera, local operas were in full bloom, and Kunxi Opera was the favorite of Jiangnan gentry.

At this time, Tian Mi had the idea of ​​inviting the female relatives of the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River to watch a play.Watching a play is so lively, entertaining together can shorten the distance, and there are many topics to talk about.

"Does your family have any theater troupe?"

"If you go back to your mother, you have to prepare. There is a small show at home." She is modest.

"Small theater troupes are not good. I will invite the female family members from Jiangnan to watch a play, and I will leave a few days for the nanny. Find some solid and honest people to come in, and don't rush the visitors."

"Yes, yes, preparations will start tomorrow."

"Well, as long as the show looks good, you don't have to worry about the costumes. By the way, bring me the show code and let me have a look."

If I remember correctly, during this period of time Jiangnan was popular with scripts such as "Peach Blossom Fan". The content has something to do with the Qing army's occupation of Jiangnan. Every word is bloody and tearful, but if a play like "Peach Blossom Fan" is staged on this occasion, it will seem a bit embarrassing.

The servants of Cao's family quickly brought over the trick codes, and Tian Mi knew just by looking at the names that they were all plays by talented scholars and beautiful ladies.

What "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Palace of Eternal Life"... will be a big IP after hundreds of years.There are also less famous ones that were written after the Peony Pavilion, and the introduction is a private meeting between men and women.But neither can be separated from two themes, love and current situation.How could Jiangnan sing plays related to the current situation without emotion.

The more sorrowful parting is, the more lingering the singing is, with more than a dozen words in a sentence, and I haven't finished singing after knocking out a handful of melon characters.Just watching the drama Tian Mi loses the mood to continue watching. Isn't Qin Opera high-pitched?Is Yu Opera not good?Isn't Huangmei Opera delicious?

Of course, Jiangnan gentry like it.

Unexpectedly, she had to cater to the public's preferences, so Tian Mi combined her tricks.

"Can we make up a play within two days? None of these things will work. At that time, all the ladies will come, and it's fine to sing about men's and women's love. In the middle of the night, I will have a tryst with someone in the garden to make love for a lifetime. Can you sing?"

"where?"

"Think about The Legend of the White Snake. Isn't this the story that is around you? The words must be both refined and popular so that everyone can understand them. After all, some old people are obsessed with their sons. They have never read books and cannot read, and they cannot understand Yangchun Baixue."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"It must be a sensation. If the singing is good, I will pay for it myself and invite the people in Jiangnan to watch the play."

"You don't need to pay for it..."

"Mommy, the wool comes out of the sheep, and it supports the excitement of the royal family. In the end, the royal family pays for it." So don't bother, I will pay for it myself, so that in the future, you will lose money and the emperor will worry about it, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will take care of it.
