The story of the salted fish concubine raising cubs in Qing Dynasty

Seeing Mingxuan's happy appearance, Yinfeng sighed like an adult, and said, "It doesn't take a lifetime, but knowledge is enough. There are too few, but there are many good things."

Ming Xuan looked at the cute little guy and said with a smile: "There are many good things in the world, but for me, this is good enough."

The gift I gave was cherished by others, Yin Reng's eyebrows would jump up with joy, and when he was walking, the little hair on his head trembled, very cute.

What Ming Xuan said was the truth, she really liked this pair of strings, and she wore them on her wrist every day.People's hearts are uncontrollable, and the love of children is so warm and touching.

For this reason, Mingxuan decided that a few small cakes were no longer enough to express her joy for Yinfeng, and she wanted to make a big double-layered fruit cake.

So continue to toss the imperial dining room.

After tossing about the imperial dining room, Kangxi kept his word and gave Mingxuan a bunch of English books, as well as some foreigner gadgets. Unfortunately, Mingxuan had long forgotten the skill of English.

With just one glance, I feel that the words on the book seem to know me, but I have already forgotten them!In order not to feel guilty, Mingxuan asked Chunni to pack up the books, it's better to keep them out of sight.

There was also a chiming clock, Mingxuan looked at it for a while, then asked someone to put the clock in the outer hall, the ticking sound was too loud, putting it in the inner room would affect her sleep.

A small gemstone mirror is placed on the dressing table, so that you can appreciate your prosperous beauty every day.

In addition, there were still coffee beans, and Mingxuan asked Chunni to put them away first, so that she could drink them after she was free.

And finally a bunch of seeds...

To be honest, Mingxuan didn't know any of these things. She secretly tried each of them on the farm, and most of them were nothing new, except that there were a few strawberry seeds in them.

The sprouted strawberry and apple seeds, as well as other messy seeds, were randomly planted on the edge of the vegetable field outside.When Ming Xuan casually saw the scrambled eggs, she stuffed a few more tomato seeds into them.

Ming Xuan vaguely remembered that strawberries and apples could be planted right now, but tomatoes seemed to have to be in spring.

Forget it, I can't remember, I don't have much now, but I have a lot of time, so take your time!

I hope that next year I can eat tomato scrambled eggs, of course, the normal two-cent egg is the best.

After planting it, Mingxuan stopped talking to her, since there were slaves anyway.She will only make sure to look at it every day, and strawberries and apples will be enough in the future.

Forget the rest!

In addition, the place where it can be planted is too small to display.

Gun Gun has already occupied two houses and most of the garden, and the rest can't even grow too many vegetables.

When Gun Gun saw Ming Xuan, he almost galloped towards the fence and let out a 'cuckoo' cry, Xiaomeng's face kept arching in front of Ming Xuan.

After Mingxuan planted the seeds, she washed her hands and face, changed her clothes, and stretched out her arms to hug Xiao Gungun. In fact, she couldn't hold her anymore. Gungun has grown very fast, and her current weight is no longer something that Ming Xuan can hug casually. up.

But even though it has grown a lot, it is still very, very cute, and Ming Xuan's love for it has never diminished in the slightest.

The little guy was so enthusiastic, Ming Xuan squatted down and hugged it, extremely satisfied.

Gun Gun is actually a very smart little guy, it can make different sounds to express its mood, after getting along for a long time, Ming Xuan can also tell whether it is angry, happy, or wants to eat?

Let it drag itself forward happily.

As if knowing that no one would notice when eating an apple, it dragged Ming Xuan to the corner, and then looked at Ming Xuan cheerfully.

Ming Xuan bent down and hugged it, and fed it the sliced ​​apples that had been prepared, one bite at a time. After a dozen or so, the little guy also knew that Ming Xuan would not give it any more, so he kept feeding him with his little apples. He tipped his head against Mingxuan, hoping that she would soften her heart.

Ming Xuan couldn't hold back and asked someone to bring in a few bunches of grapes.

Seeing the grapes, the little guy knew there were no more apples, so he reluctantly rubbed against Ming Xuan again.

After Mingxuan pointed to the grapes, she happily walked to the small basin where the grapes were placed, and started working hard. After a while, her black and white face became colorful.

Ming Xuan was amused by its naive appearance.

"I want to eat grapes too." Yinreng stood outside the fence, looking at his aunt and Gun Gunzhile from a distance, and after waiting for a long time, she didn't look at herself, and shouted directly with a straight face.

It was only then that Ming Xuan saw the little prince and Liang Jiugong behind him, clapped her hands, touched her rolling head, and then walked out.

After washing his hands and face again and changing his clothes, he hugged Yinfeng and asked with a smile, "Why is it so early today?"

"Uncle, come here in a while, Khan Ama will ask Gu to come here first." The corners of Yinreng's lips raised slightly, and he put his arms around Mingxuan's neck.

"Third uncle?" Mingxuan guessed that the uncle Yinfeng mentioned was Suo'etu.

Yinfeng nodded and said: "Third Uncle wants to send it off, and I will read it to Gu."

Mingxuan paused, it was no surprise that Suo'etu could enter the harem, in fact, the rules of the current Manchurian are not so strict.

But is it something you can intervene in accompanying the prince to read?

Although she is not optimistic about the descendants of the Hesheli family, as far as she knows, all the brats in the mansion today are not as popular as the prince.

But isn't it the emperor's decision to accompany the prince?

"Under Nalan Rongruo's objection, Brother Baoqing's previous companion has been replaced by Nalan and the best son in the marriage." Liang Jiugong bowed and whispered to Mingxuan: "The emperor doesn't want to Let the prince be surrounded by flattering and ignorant people, and let the concubine concubine take a lot of trouble."

Mingxuan immediately understood that Kangxi also looked down on the children that the Hesheli clan would send to the palace.But he didn't want to slap him in the face, so he made himself a detour.

As the prince's mother, and the empress has passed away, there must be one or two seats from the Hesheli family among the eight companions of the prince.

Sending Liang Jiugong away, Mingxuan knew that even if she didn't want to intervene, she sighed and quickly organized her words in her heart. She was also glad that the one who came was Suo'etu who still understood, and not cheap Ama and Di'eniang. It's hard for the two to reason.

Waiting for Suo'etu's work, Mingxuan peeled grapes for Yinreng and herself to eat, you and I eat each other, and Yinreng also recited to Mingxuan what he had learned recently.

Every time Yinfeng recited a section, Mingxuan fed her a grape, and then clapped her hands vigorously, praising her vigorously.

Yinfeng blushed and continued reciting, the louder and smoother his voice became, the more powerful Mingxuan's rainbow fart became.

Even Chunni and Nanny Ping echoed from the sidelines.

Suo'etu stood outside the hall for a while, and heard the prince reciting smoothly. Among the same age, the prince was really outstanding, and the smile on his face became bigger and bigger.

After a while, Yinfeng's back got tired and Mingxuan's hands turned red. The two of them concentrated on eating grapes and competed in spitting out grape seeds to see who could vomit farther.

While playing, Mammy Liu told Suo'etu to come.

Mingxuan wiped the prince's hands and face first, and then quickly wiped herself. After Wulan cleaned up the mess in the hall, she let him in.

"Third Uncle, get up quickly, please sit down." After Suo'etu came in, he saluted Yinfeng and Mingxuan neatly, Mingxuan laughed quickly.

After Suo'etu sat down, Ming Xuan smiled and said, "This year the grapes are sweet, the Emperor gave me some more here, and when Third Uncle leaves later, I will take a few more bunches back."

Suo'etu also smiled and said: "Then hurry up, the children in the family will eat this!"

Chunni brought tea over at this time, Suo'etu drank it, his eyebrows stretched, and he was dahongpaoed.

Obviously, this niece's life is not bad.No one expected that this humble niece would be so promising after entering the palace, and even saved the prince once.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ming Xuan said directly: "Which two children are the family going to send to the palace to be accompanied by the crown prince?"

Suo'etu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The second child of the Changtai family and the eldest child of the Gelfin family, one is three years older than the crown prince, and the other is five years older than the crown prince, and they are both quite clever. "

Chang Tai is his biological elder brother, Gelfin is Suo'etu's eldest son, Ming Xuan nodded and told Yin Reng their names and hobbies.

Suo'etu sipped his tea and kept nodding his head. Mingxuan didn't mention their shortcomings, but only started with small things, and talked about a few interesting things about them, which made Yinfeng giggle and laugh.

But after finishing speaking, Mingxuan looked at Suo'etu and asked, "I haven't seen any of my nephews for a long time, but I don't know what books they are studying now? How about martial arts?"

Suo'etu paused, those in the family were very spoiled, not to mention reading, they lacked in rules, and now they are teaching the rules.Just as she was hesitating what to say, Ming Xuan spoke again.

Mingxuan continued with a smile: "Our Highness the Crown Prince is very intelligent. He can memorize the Three Character Classic, Disciple Rules, Enlightenment of Rhythm, and Li Weng Duiyun fluently. Now he has started to learn the Analects of Confucius. When archery is within ten feet with a small bow, he will never fall. target."

The smile on Suo'etu's face was originally getting bigger, but he suddenly stopped. Looking at Ming Xuan, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Third uncle, I am the one who is most looking forward to the prosperity of the Hesheli clan in this world." Mingxuan put Yinfeng aside, turned to Suo'etu and said, "The crown prince is the hope of the whole clan, and it is my hope." The only one to rely on in this world."

Yinreng turned his head to look at his aunt, and stretched out his hand to hold her. He was willing to rely on his aunt.

Mingxuan squeezed Yinreng, summoned up her courage and looked at Suo'etu and said, "It's very important for the crown prince to accompany him to study. If he just wants to enter the palace and be coated with gold, I don't want the crown prince to have such a person around him."

Suo'etu's face darkened immediately.

"The ones around the prince should be smart, sensible and motivated children." Ming Xuan said seriously.

When she was in her natal family, Ming Xuan didn't have much contact with her brothers, let alone her nephew, but she had seen their arrogance and arrogance before, and Ming Xuan really didn't like it.

"Now that I'm a concubine, I'm getting more courageous." Suo'etu laughed angrily.

Mingxuan looked at him quietly, and said: "Brother Baoqing is lively and cute, and Brother Changsheng is weak, but Concubine Ma Jia is pregnant again, and Concubine Niu Hulu's status in the future will never be lower , her child will be supported by the whole family of Niu Hulu. There are still many concubines and women who have been favored by the emperor in the palace. There will be more and more of these people in the future. There will only be more elder brothers in the harem."

Suo'etu opened his mouth and said, "The Hesheli family should not be underestimated."

"But the next generation, what about the next generation?" Ming Xuan said directly: "At the beginning, Mafa chose the third uncle as his successor instead of Ama. Didn't the third uncle understand why? Wasn't it because the third uncle was capable and courageous? Ambitious and capable to match."

Suo'etu closed his eyes, and couldn't help but think of the scene where Ama suppressed his brother who was about to move and handed over the family power to him after his eldest niece entered the palace.

What did Ama say then?He said that the eldest brother is mediocre, and it is impossible to lead Hesheli to glory and develop for a long time.

As a bastard, Suo'etu will always remember the excitement of that moment.

Seeing that his face changed, Mingxuan slapped him hard again and said: "The emperor just asked Eunuch Liang to spread the word that Brother Baoqing's companion is the most outstanding heir carefully selected by the Nalan family."

Suo'etu suddenly opened his eyes, but seeing Ming Xuan nodded to him, he immediately understood what the emperor meant.

The emperor didn't make a direct decree, but let them choose for themselves. This is for the benefit of the prince, and also for the sake of the face of the Hesheli family.

Thinking of this, Suo'etu said without hesitation: "I will go back to school to test all the children in Hesheli, and select the best one to enter the palace."

"Thank you, Third Uncle." Ming Xuan nodded, it was the first time she intervened in Yinrong's affairs, and Ming Xuan didn't regret it.

"Perhaps it was a blessing for the Hesheli family to send you into the palace." Suo'etu sighed, looked at Ming Xuan's bright and soft face, and said.

Mingxuan turned her head to look at Yinfeng, and said with a smile: "Third uncle is overrated, and my niece is just an ordinary person. But entering the palace is also my luck, because I can meet such a sensible and intelligent Highness."

This is the truth. If she had married someone back then and had a child, who could guarantee that she would be as moved as she is now?The little prince is really a good boy who deserves to be cared for.

Yinreng's eyes are bright, he can understand what they say, his aunt doesn't want a cousin who is not easy to learn to enter the palace, and wants his uncle to find a smart and studious one for him, he can understand.

"Third uncle, there is still a long way to go for the prince. I hope that the third uncle will restrain the clansmen outside the palace and teach the children. The future of the Hesheli clan is not in the present, but in the future. Don't let the prince be in the palace in the future." It’s embarrassing in front of my brother.” After all, the Hesheli clan is better off, so she will be better in the palace.

Mingxuan can't control too much, and she doesn't want to control it, but she will raise something that needs to be raised.

Kangxi would mention something now instead of directly ordering it, because he has not been disappointed with the Hesheli family, and because there are not many princes now, and because the prince has not grown up yet, but in the future, if Hesheli still has no intention of making progress People, the prince's road is really going to be very difficult.

Suo'etu nodded, took out a box from his sleeve, and said: "You came in a hurry when you entered the palace, and many jewelry could not be brought into the palace. your."

As he said that, another palace man brought in several large boxes, which contained many gorgeous fabrics and exquisite and precious jewelry.

Ming Xuan accepted it unceremoniously. Seeing that there were several boxes of gold beads inside, she directly took a box and put it beside Yinfeng, saying, "Give your Highness pocket money."

This time, Yinreng was really sure that his aunt was not poor. After being accepted, he said to Suo'etu: "I heard that uncle is very knowledgeable. Can I ask for advice in the future?"

Suo'etu took a look at Mingxuan and was very satisfied in his heart. He never thought that this niece would speak nice things about herself in front of the prince.

So he looked at the prince kindly and said: "This servant has studied for several years. If the prince has any doubts, this servant will know everything without saying anything."

"Uncle is very good." Yinfeng nodded and smiled. Khan Ama said that this person is smart.

"Your uncle, you can be trusted in the future, but not completely." After Suo'etu left, Ming Xuan told the prince when she was whispering to the prince.

As he spoke, he opened the box he gave him, a pair of green transparent bracelets, somehow?Mingxuan felt a bit like the bracelet Niu Hulu used to win her over?

Yin Reng tilted his head, not quite understanding what this meant?

"Third Uncle is very capable and loyal to His Highness. But he is also quite arrogant and greedy... It is good for you to believe him, but he has something to say, just listen to it, if it is different from your Khan Ama , tell you Khan Ama directly." Ming Xuan whispered in Yinreng's ear.

Suo'etu gave him a bracelet similar to Niu Hulu's, because he had someone by his side, right?

Yinfeng liked this kind of intimacy and nodded vigorously.
