[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family
Chapter 93
Jia Min was delighted by the joy of the characters in the story of "Actor's Complaint", felt sad for the characters in the story, and also felt hearty about the revenge of their vengeance.
Just like her, there are other wives and ladies who have read this story. When they read this story and come out, they all look like they have cried a lot, which makes people more curious about "Actor's Complaint".
And as the reputation of "Actor's Complaint" is getting better and better, those nobles in the palace who have watched the "Actor's Complaint" without audio can't sit still.
Although the concubines in the palace cannot go out of the palace, as long as they have enough status, they can call their relatives into the palace to meet from time to time——
Of course, only for women.
And after the movie theater opened, when these so-called foreign wives entered the palace, apart from greeting and caring with their concubines, they talked the most about what stories the movie theater released this month, and what were the contents of these stories, okay? Pretty or something.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs will pay attention to a small movie theater, and buy the machine with money after the Lin family got it out, because there are many concubines blowing pillow wind to Emperor Qisheng.
But listening to the words of these wives, the self-image paintings inside the palace seem to be very different from those outside the palace, and the difference is not small.
At least, it is absolutely impossible for the self-screening pictures in the palace to have sound.
Now that Emperor Qisheng is old, he is more willing to pamper younger concubines, but this does not mean that old concubines should not be pampered, it is just that Emperor Qisheng favors them in a different way——
If the request is not high, Emperor Qisheng can generally give what he wants.
So when a group of concubines asked to see a self-image with sound outside the palace, Emperor Qisheng agreed without thinking, and then asked He Wenyi to go to the internal affairs to tell them to go to the shop of the Lin family to buy.
However, Lin's shop refused, saying that there was no self-image that could produce sound.
When he first heard about this, Emperor Qisheng was naturally not happy.But soon, he remembered that Lin Ruhai had shown him in the past that it was just a machine, and he still took the money to buy it at the Lin family's store. No matter what, it was impossible for Lin Ruhai to refute his face.
He asked He Wenyi to call Lin Ruhai into the upper study.
Lin Ruhai was almost used to Qishengdi being called to the study room to ask questions from time to time when he was working. His first reaction when seeing He Wenyi was to review the big and small things that happened between himself and the Lin family during this period, and then Handing over the purse: "Eunuch He, the Holy Majesty let the minister go, but for the Film Academy?"
After a moment of surprise, He Wenyi smiled and nodded: "Exactly. Recently, many empresses have heard that the self-images outside the palace have sound, so they begged the Holy One to buy them some machines that can make sound."
Lin Ruhai was about to explain, when he heard him say again, "People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came back from the palace and said that there is no such machine for sale outside the palace, so they asked you to ask about the situation. Lord Lin, the Holy Majesty promised Many empresses said they would buy the machine back."
Lin Ruhai's eyebrows twitched. It seemed that he had to be more careful than usual when answering later, otherwise it would be easy for Emperor Qisheng to lose face in front of the girls, and he might find it on himself.
"Lin Aiqing is here, get up quickly." Emperor Qisheng had a smile on his face.
Lin Ruhai got up and saw it, feeling strange in his heart: "My lord."
Seeing his doubts, Emperor Qisheng asked with a smile, "It's nothing else to call you here today. I just want to ask the Lin family's movie theater outside the palace, how did it make the picture sound."
Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "My lord, the self-screening pictures of the Lin Family Film Academy have no sound."
The smile on the corner of Emperor Qisheng's mouth froze: "What's the meaning of this? That's not what those wives who were born outside the palace told my concubines like this."
Lin Ruhai hastily explained: "My lord, if you go to the theater to watch self-images, you will indeed have lines and tunes like operas, and even sounds like wind and rain that have never been seen on the opera stage. However, these sounds are not self-images themselves. have."
Emperor Qisheng became interested, "Tell me what's going on."
"Returning to the Lord, before the self-screening picture had no sound, the mother at home mentioned that it would be better if there was sound. After hearing this, Zhuo Jing has been trying to find a way to fulfill her mother's wish. It was only later that I thought that the picture could be matched with sound. As long as we strictly train and let those dubbers grasp the timing well, they will be able to produce voices synchronously with the people in the screen, so that it looks like the voice coming from the film itself.”
The matter of ventriloquism can be regarded as a strange story, and most of the ventriloquists are men, and they usually cannot enter the back house.This has also led to women who have lived in the back house for a long time, only hearing their names, but not knowing what is inside.
There are only a few people like Mr. Zhao who are very familiar with all kinds of novelties. Even many men who have seen self-images do not know the source of those sounds. Bu didn't see it, or he didn't care when he saw it, and the servant girl serving in the movie theater would not go out of his way to tell the guests that those voices were made by humans.
Therefore, it is also possible that some foreign-born women did not explain clearly what happened after entering the palace.
Emperor Qisheng was a little surprised: "Have someone come to add a sound to the painting?"
After the Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased a few machines that could play self-images, he accompanied the concubines to watch one or two works, and he also had a rough understanding of self-images.
But to add sound to self-image...
"There are so many characters in a movie, if all of them are accompanied by sound, wouldn't the room where the movie is shown be full of people?"
"Returning to the emperor, many dubbers can change their voices, some with outstanding skills can even play more than a dozen roles by one person, and the room will not be full of people."
Emperor Qisheng became more and more surprised: "It sounds interesting."
Lin Ruhai hurriedly cupped his hands: "My lord praises you."
Emperor Qisheng waved his hand, "What gender are those dubbers?"
"There are men and women, old and young."
Emperor Qisheng was deep in thought, this is troublesome, he can't call a group of men or children into the palace to raise them.
But Qisheng Emperor always felt unwilling to let him, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, watch self-images without sound, while ordinary dignitaries outside the palace could see self-images with sound.As the emperor, he should have enjoyed the top resources of Great Xia.
Emperor Qisheng hesitated for a long time, but still asked: "Among the dubbers you have trained, are there any women who can dub men?"
Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat: "Of course there are. It's just that some male voices with rough voices still need men to match them."
Thinking of the eunuchs in the palace, Qisheng Emperor couldn't help but ask, "How can someone like Eunuch dub those characters?"
Lin Ruhai bowed his head: "I don't know."
-
"You said that the emperor is interested in self-portraits with voices, so you want the actors trained by your mother to enter the palace?" Jia Shu was a little dazed, "Most of the voice actors are women?"
One reason is that this world is not good for women. Whether it is beggars on the street or slaves who sell at Renyazi, women are still the majority.
The second reason is that most of the guests in the movie theater are women and children. In order not to worry them or let outsiders talk about it, the actors who dub them are all women.
Lin Ruhai was puzzled: "If most of them are women, wouldn't it be easier to enter the palace?"
In the palace, apart from the ungrown prince and the eunuchs, the only guards are men.But the guards are not allowed to walk around in the palace at will, otherwise they will face the crime of beheading.
In the palace, Lin Ruhai didn't immediately agree to Emperor Qisheng's question because he felt that most of the dubbers were men. Listening now, it doesn't seem to be the case. When the time comes to let those dubbers enter the palace, there will be nothing else. concern.
Jia Shu waved his hand: "Have you thought about how these women will come out after entering the palace?"
The court ladies can leave the palace when they reach a certain age, but those dancers and singers, have you heard that they were released?After these voice actors and ventriloquists entered the palace, their identities in the palace were almost at the same level as dancers and singers. How could she push people into the fire pit.
"The emperor must let them enter the palace?" Jia Shu couldn't help asking.
Lin Ruhai nodded: "The emperor has promised several empresses that they will see a self-portrait with sound. If they can't do it, the emperor will lose face. I am very worried that he will get angry."
This is a real disaster.
Jia Shu hesitated for a while, curious: "How many theater troupes are raised in the palace? Are they all women?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head: "How come? There must be men and women."
"Then where do they usually live, can someone become the emperor's concubine?"
Lin Ruhai laughed: "There are so many empresses in the palace, how can the sage..." He shook his head and looked at Jia Shu, "Are you worried about this? It's completely unnecessary. Even if those dubbers enter the palace, they will serve them most of the time. Empress of the harem, the sage has a lot of things to do every day, and there are not many opportunities to take self-screening as a pastime."
Jia Shu also found it funny, but most of the modern TV dramas play the emperor in a hurry. It seems that no matter what the status of a woman is, as long as the emperor is interested, she can get it in the palace. She can't help but think too much.
"These dubbing actors were only trained by their mothers, and the film theater cannot do without them for the time being." Jia Shu said seriously, "If the ladies in the palace really want to watch, it's not that they can't enter the palace, but they can't stay for a long time to finish performing for the ladies. going to leave."
Lin Ruhai was a little embarrassed: "Those empresses won't agree."
Under the influence of Jia Shu and Lin's mother these years, Lin Ruhai can be considered to understand the intrigue between women. No matter what he thinks, he doesn't think that after the dubber enters the palace, all the empresses will go to see the self-image at the same time.
Jia Shu also didn't think it would be a good thing for the Lin family if voice actors and ventriloquists entered the palace.
If the dubbers stay in the palace for a short time, the number of performances they can perform in the palace is very limited. It is very likely that they can only perform one or two performances of the same play in a day——
The voices of these dubbers are very precious. As long as they perform one performance, they have to rest for a while.In one day, you can't perform too many performances, you have to combine work and rest, and take good care of your voice.How those opera actors take care of their voices on weekdays, Jia Shu asked them how to take care of them.
In order to keep them from getting too tired, the actors in the theater work in several shifts, and a group of actors will never perform more than four times a day.
But entering the palace to perform for the royal family cannot always perform the same repertoire.If several stories are performed in turn, those empresses will naturally only have one or two chances a day when they see that they like the show.
With limited opportunities, those concubines had to sit together and watch self-screening pictures.
It is true that women in the palace are always better at acting than others, even if they wish to kill each other in their hearts, they can still maintain a smile on their faces.But there are always one or two that are really difficult to deal with, even appearing together is a kind of torture.And it's okay to sit and act with people who don't deal with it once or twice, but if it happens every time they watch their own movies, how could they be willing?Besides, they put their minds on acting, so why should they go to see their own movies?
But Jia Shu was worried about letting these voice actors enter the palace completely and be raised by the emperor.
Not to mention their own willingness to enter the palace.Although these dubbing actors and ventriloquists were capable, they were soft-spoken and lowly. They accidentally offended someone after entering the palace, and they didn't know how they died.Since she bought people back, she must be responsible for them.
What's more, some of these people are the sons of the Lin family, and they know their roots well, but a large part of them were bought from the prostitute. The Lin family doesn't know their past. Wrong, it is the Lin family who bear the blame.
It's okay for a short time, it's hard for them to find out the palace, and they won't make trouble, but after a long time, who knows if there will be any trouble.
Even if those who were sent to the palace were all innocent, but as long as they had a relationship with the Lin family, the longer it was, it was inevitable that someone would try to trip the Lin family through them.
So it’s okay to enter the palace occasionally to perform for the emperor’s concubines. The time is short. Neither the people in the palace nor the voice actors can set up a sophisticated enough trap, and no one will take the risk.
"What does it matter if the empress doesn't agree?" Jia Shu smiled, "The emperor mentioned this matter to you, you just need to convince the emperor."
Could it be that those empresses can still ask Lin Ruhai, a foreigner, to ask questions?
If they were looking for themselves or Lin's mother, they only needed to shirk that Lin Ruhai had already agreed, and there was nothing they could do. How could those empresses do anything to them?Today is different from the past, Lin Ruhai is no longer the person who can be manipulated by others, who has a title but is completely speechless in the capital.
Just because Emperor Qisheng valued Lin Ruhai, those concubines did not dare to be angry with them for no reason.
"But didn't you say that some men's roles cannot be played by women?"
Jia Shu didn't think it was a big deal: "If you encounter such a role in a play, just eliminate it directly. The time to enter the palace is limited, and you always need to carefully select the play, and it is possible to miss one or two. Or, doesn’t the emperor already know about it? You just go and tell the emperor.”
-
In the end, the dubbing and ventriloquists of the film theater finally entered the palace.
But Lin Ruhai was eloquent, and in the end he really convinced Emperor Qisheng, agreeing to let the dubbers only stay in the palace for a short time, and only need to enter the palace occasionally to perform for the concubines.
However, Lin Ruhai and his wife thought of concubines, but never thought of the little prince and princess in the palace.
The concubine would want to watch plays like "Actor's Complaint", but why wouldn't the little prince and princess not want to watch plays like "Little Tadpole"?
And with the voice, these princes and grandchildren will love similar plays even more.
Then came the problem.
The twenty-one prince is only a few years old, and his self-control is not very good. After seeing the self-screening, he likes it very much. As long as he hears that the dubber enters the palace to perform, he will go to see it even if he skips class.
The twenty-two prince is similar to him, but the twenty-two prince doesn't have a reputation for being fond of reading!
A prince who originally liked to read became obsessed with self-screening, not to mention the mother and concubine of the [-]st prince, as long as he was a concubine with children, he would have a very bad impression of him.
Among them, the mother and concubine of the [-]st Prince had the worst impression of self-images, and then she approached Emperor Qisheng.
When Emperor Qisheng heard it at first, he just thought it was ridiculous: "If you are worried about your children getting addicted to it, you take the children and stay in your own palace and don't look at it, I don't believe they can still be addicted!"
That concubine's position was not high, seeing that Emperor Qisheng didn't care, she had no choice but to leave.
But soon, the master who taught the young prince found the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please be careful. During these days, some princes often ask for leave and miss classes. I didn't take it seriously at first, but after careful questioning, I found out that several princes have gone to watch their own movies."
Emperor Qisheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly sent someone to take the princes to the upper study.
Those princes may not be afraid of their wives—anyway, as long as there is no trouble, they will only hit a few boards—but when facing Emperor Qisheng, they are as cowardly as quails.
This master is too hateful, even sued the parents!
Several princes looked at the master standing beside them, all of them had unattractive expressions, and the lively [-]nd prince even made faces at the master.
Then, he was arrested by Emperor Qisheng.
He scolded in a cold voice: "Twenty-two, I told your teacher to be respectful, do you take it to heart?"
Twenty-two was taken aback, tears couldn't stop falling down.
Emperor Qisheng saw it, and didn't feel distressed at all: "Weren't you very happy when you made a face to Master just now? If you disrespect Master again next time, just let me leave."
Twenty-two didn't dare to cry anymore, so he could only hold back his voice.
The other princes were frightened by Emperor Qisheng's sternness, and they dared not speak any more, nor did they dare to be disrespectful to their master.
Only then did Qishengdi begin to ask what was going on.
The princes didn't dare to lie, so they told all about how they heard the news about Ziyinghua, how they skipped class, how they got rid of the palace people and went to the harem to find the place where the concubines watched Ziyinghua. up.
After listening to it, Emperor Qisheng inevitably frowned, and he began to doubt whether his decision to let Lin Ruhai call the voice actor of his own movie into the palace was correct.
Nowadays, those dubbers only enter the palace occasionally, which caused his children to fail to learn well. Thinking about that time, after he heard what the concubine said, he thought about leaving people in the palace directly. If he really did that at that time, he Isn't your child unable to read books?
Emperor Qisheng turned his eyes around the children, paused, and said, "Why aren't the prince's companions here?"
The master said: "Back to the emperor, the companions of the princes are still studying and never left."
Emperor Qisheng looked dangerously at the princes, "Why are you running away when they can read?"
In order to teach his children not to be trash, he almost tested all the ministers, and finally selected a few ministers who had real skills and could teach to teach his sons.These ministers were all from serious imperial examinations, and then stayed in the Imperial Academy and other places for a long time. It can be said that they are well-educated, and their personalities are very open-minded, and they are not narrow-minded people.
Emperor Qisheng was very relieved that such a master taught his children.
Looking at those princes who have grown up, each of them has outstanding abilities, Emperor Qisheng naturally values these masters more and more.
These masters were carefully selected by him for his children, but now, his own children skipped classes, and the children he found to be his children's companions were concentrating on listening to the class. How could Emperor Qisheng not be angry?
"You leave, why don't you take anyone with you..."
After all, the companion is a boy, these princes all know the rules in the palace, and will not easily bring their companion into the harem.
Emperor Qisheng was half angry when he suddenly thought of this matter, and then became even angrier.
Even skipped class, but still remembered the rules of the palace!
At this time, the twenty-first prince suddenly said: "But, it was the mother concubine who agreed with my son to skip class."
Emperor Qisheng suddenly turned his head to look at him: "What did you say?"
The twenty-first prince flinched, "My concubine, my concubine agreed."
Emperor Qisheng suddenly remembered that the mother and concubine of the twenty-first prince complained to him a few days ago, wanting him to seal up the self-portrait in the palace, and his face became so dark that he could drip ink.
Emperor Qisheng tried his best to restrain the steaming anger in his heart: "What else did she say?"
The twenty-first prince tensed up, his eyes blank: "No, no..."
He turned to look at the other princes: "What about you? Why did you skip class? Did your mother and concubine agree?"
Twenty-two, Twenty-three and other older princes all pursed their lips, their eyes were as red as rabbits, but because they were afraid of Emperor Qisheng, they didn't dare to cry.
The twenty-second prince was more courageous, and he spoke first: "Go back, go back to the father, my son watched Er Erge skipping class, so my son ran away..."
Hearing this answer, Emperor Qisheng really couldn't swallow the breath that was choked in his chest, and couldn't let it out.
What does it mean to watch your brother run away, and he also runs away?
But thinking of the twenty-two prince's character of being illiterate and fond of jumping up and down, the corners of Emperor Qisheng's mouth twitched, and he could only put it down temporarily.
"What about you?" Emperor Qisheng looked at the youngest twenty-three princes.
The Twenty-Third Prince burst into tears: "My elder brother has left, and my son followed suit..."
Emperor Qisheng: "...don't you have other brothers?"
Twenty-three cried loudly: "The other brothers said that Erchen is young, so they don't take Erchen to play!"
Emperor Qisheng: "..." The old twenty-san is not yet weaned!
He turned his head to look at the other princes, looked at them, and waved his hands helplessly: "Forget it, forget it this time, if there is another time, I'll see if I beat you!"
After the group of little ones left, Emperor Qisheng's eyes darkened.
At first, he thought it was a problem with his self-image, but now it seems that the women in his harem are vicious.
-
The twenty-first prince returned to his bedroom and told his mother and concubine what happened today.
His mother and concubine didn't react too much when she heard it, but just asked him to go back to the study to write and read, and must write down what the husband said today.
After he left, her mother and concubine sat down on the bed, her eyes were gloomy: "I just wanted my son to skip class to make the emperor wary of those things that make people playful and depressing. How, how did it make such a big fuss? Is good……"
Based on her understanding of Emperor Qisheng, what she did has completely touched his bottom line, and in the future, their mother and son will definitely have a hard time.
-
Soon, it was the day when the Pippi siblings returned home.
Jia Shu arrived outside the palace gate early in the carriage. As soon as he saw the two children, he asked someone to bring them over, got into the carriage and went home.
After that day, the princes didn't dare to skip class to watch self-screening, and sat in their own seats to study every day.
But this matter, after all, spread outside the palace.
Other animations are fine, but the audience for those self-screening paintings specially drawn for children has been greatly reduced.
But later, not only did the palace not do anything to the Lin family, but instead rewarded Lin Ruhai with some property for no reason—it was said that self-imagery improved the lives of the people, but who would believe it?But business at the cinema has since climbed again, even better than before.
Sure enough, Qishengdi's name is easier to use than others.
Jia Shu didn't pay much attention to this, on the contrary, she was more worried that the people in the palace would blame the two children for this.The children are still young, and they don't know how to fight back when they are bullied by others.After the news came out, she was always on tenterhooks.
Fortunately, the two children are safe and sound.
Pippi was checked by Jia Shu over and over several times. At first, he felt that Jia Shu was playing with him, but later he felt that something was wrong: "Mother, what are you doing?"
Jia Shu was taken aback: "Why did you call me mother?"
Jia Shu didn't know until he was in the Dream of Red Mansions that the title "Mom" had already appeared at this time, and it was just for mother.Since it is not surprising to call her child "Mom", the two syllables "Mom" are the easiest to pronounce. When the two children started to learn to speak, she kept chanting in the children's ears. , Over time, the two children have been calling her "mother".
Lin Ruhai and Lin's mother didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so Jia Shu didn't let them change it.
But why did Pippi change her name not long after entering the palace?
"Sir, it's more solemn to call you a mother, and it can better express the son's respect for his mother." Pippi made a sullen face, trying to make herself look more reliable.
Jia Shu pinched the flesh on his face, a little helpless: "But I just think this name is very unfamiliar, doesn't Pippi think?"
Pippi stared wide-eyed: "But my father also called the old lady that way."
Well, Pippi is no longer called Lin Ruhai's father, nor Lin's mother and grandmother.
But Jia Shu didn’t know how to explain it. Just as Mrs. Pippi said, in order to show their respect to their mother, and to appear more formal and solemn, many people really use “mother” when calling their mother.Although Jia Shu didn't like it, he couldn't say it was wrong.
But Pippi calls herself "mother", why does it sound so strange and uncomfortable?
Jia Shu hugged the two children into her arms: "I don't care, you can't call me mother anyway." After a pause, she thought that Pippi would inevitably deal with others when she took the imperial examination in the future, and said, "At least at home, It can't be called that."
Pippi nodded half understanding: "Mom."
Zhuzhu had been silently watching the conversation between the two, and only then called "Mom" at this time.
Jia Shu nodded in satisfaction.
As for what the two children called Lin Ruhai and Lin Mu, Jia Shu didn't want them to change.Mother Lin and Lin Ruhai are both natives of the Red Chamber, so they must have accepted terms like "father" and "old lady" well, so she won't forcefully correct them.
After solving the title problem, Jia Shu began to care about the life of the two children in the palace.
"What is the character of the twenty-two princes and twelve princesses? Did they bully you? Did the other companions and attendants do anything for you?"
Zhuzhu shook her head simply: "The princess is fine."
"Is she nice to you?" Jia Shu asked again.
Zhuzhu hesitated for a moment, and just when Jia Shu's heart began to speed up and couldn't help but want to speak, Zhuzhu said: "The princess is very kind to me, but she likes to ask about my family."
"Huh?" Jia Shu was puzzled, "What about my family?"
At the mention of this question, Zhuzhu's facial features were all wrinkled: "The princess always asks if there is a meowing cat in my house, and if there is any new story coming out of the movie theater, but I don't know. I said it." , she doesn't believe it."
Zhuzhu looked at Jia Shu blankly, "The princess sometimes takes me to meet other princesses, but they all only ask me these questions."
Jia Shu was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether the princesses were asking these questions because they were curious, or if someone was teaching them behind their backs.After thinking about it, she simply said to the two children: "If someone asks you these questions again in the future, just pretend that you didn't hear them. If you ask too many questions, just say... that the emperor is very powerful, he must know. "
Since it is a question that the emperor's children want to know, let the emperor solve it directly, how can it make things difficult for her children.
Pippi was curious: "Didn't the prince ask Pippi during class?"
Jia Shu and Zhuzhu looked at Pippi together, Jia Shu frowned: "Never asked?"
Pippi shook her head: "I used to ask, but after being taught a lesson by the emperor, I don't ask any more."
Emperor Qisheng was so busy every day, how could he call his companion over to give him a lecture just because the prince asked his companion a few questions?It seems that the previous rumors are true.
She looked at Pippi: "Pippi, when the princes skipped class, did you run away with them?"
Pippi quickly shook his head: "No, the prince won't take me with him."
Jia Shu thought about it, but didn't ask why.
The mother and son returned home and immediately went to Mother Lin's yard.
Just after entering the door, Lin's mother called the two children over, hugged and shouted "Guaiguai" and "Sweetheart".
The two children were taken aback by Lin's mother's sudden enthusiasm, and almost turned their heads to ask Jia Shu to save them.
Mother Lin is also reserved and dignified. In the past, no matter how much she spoiled her two children, she would not do things that were not in line with etiquette.Occasionally getting close to the two children is also because Jia Shu is there to guide the two children.
But now I haven't seen the two children for several days, and Lin's mother doesn't care about that much, so there is this scene that makes the two children a little "too much".
Fortunately, Lin's mother quickly adjusted, put down the two children and sat in her seat.
Mother Lin actually wanted to hold them in her arms just like the children did when they were young.It's just that men and women have different seats at the age of seven. Although the Lin family doesn't pay much attention to it, when the child grows up, it is natural to start paying attention to details. At least such things as holding the child cannot be done lightly.
The two children chatted with Mother Lin for a while in the house, then they held hands and left the yard like two walking glutinous rice balls, going to the toy room.
After being away for so long, the two children also miss the toys at home very much.
Lin's mother's brows were filled with worry: "Is there any inconvenience for the two children in the palace? Have they been bullied? Can they be liked by the husband?"
Jia Shu answered one by one, trying to appease Lin Mu.
After hearing this, Mother Lin felt relieved a lot, but she was still a little worried about the future life of the two children: "The two children are growing up slowly, and the palace is not peaceful, and I don't know if someone will take care of them." Reach out to them."
It wasn't that she was aimless, she was so worried because she was frightened when the news came that Jia Hu, the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, fell into the water some time ago and almost died.
Especially after the investigation, it was found that there was a certain prince concubine's handwriting in it, Lin's mother was even more frightened, and immediately sorted out the entire Lin family, and then cleared out at least ten other spies who had been placed in the Lin family.Among them, the one with the highest status was found out with the cooperation of Chixia, and another person was placed by the Twelve Princes.
What surprised Jia Shu was that not only were there four spies in number, but the quality was also particularly high——
One of them even served as Lin Ruhai's personal servant.
Even if that young man is not close to Lin Ruhai, he can't use it on weekdays, and Lin Ruhai doesn't trust him enough, but as long as he thinks about his position at that time, as long as he thinks about it, it's really easy to attack Lin Ruhai.
Several servants took turns serving Lin Ruhai, and there was always a time when he was the only one left. If he seized the opportunity, drugged, assassinated, etc., he could easily succeed.
Of course, there are other people placed by the prince, but they may not be good at this, or they may want to attract people's attention. The errands they do in the Lin family are not important.
The only good news is that those people still have a conscience and did not plan to take action against the two children.
Both Lin Ruhai and Lin's mother were so frightened that they simply brought several families from the Lin family's Zhuangzi to serve at the mansion, and decided not to buy servants from the matchmaker in the future.
Even Lin Ruhai almost had an accident. How can the two children whose bodies have not yet grown up and who may fall ill and die young if they don't pay attention, how can they not be worrying?
Of course, this incident also brought another sequelae——
Lin's mother felt that it was not safe for the Lin family to have only one male, so she began to urge Jia to get pregnant.
Jia Shu: "..."
It wasn't that she didn't want to get pregnant. After the two children were two years old, she and Lin Ruhai didn't take any contraceptive measures when they had sex. But after more than three years, what could she do if she didn't get pregnant?
Maybe the Lin family is really doomed to be a single pass.
Of course, Jia Shu didn't dare to tell Lin's mother like this, she just told Lin's mother that she didn't have contraception, and asked Dr. Li to check, both of them were in good health, and there was no hindrance to pregnancy.As for the reason why she hadn't had children for so long, she didn't know.
Mother Lin was also frightened at the beginning, but after she calmed down, she knew that it was not good for her to urge Jia Shu to get pregnant, so she didn't urge Jia Shu to get pregnant again... at least she didn't urge Jia Shu to get pregnant face to face.
But Jia Shu could see that Mother Lin still hoped that she could add another child to the Lin family.
Before that, Mother Lin would probably regard the two children Pippi and Zhuzhu as more important than before these things happened, and she might fall into panic if there is any disturbance.
But Mother Lin is very rational, no matter how panicked she is, she won't make other people feel uncomfortable.
Although getting pregnant is quite simple, given Lin Ruhai's physical problems, she is already very lucky to be able to conceive two children within a year of marriage. She doesn't want to embarrass herself for the sake of the children.
She can only pretend not to know.
However, Lin's mother is currently busy with affairs related to the film theater, including but not limited to conditional actors, etc., so she still has a lot of free time on weekdays, and she doesn't have much time to focus on Jia Shu's stomach, and the usual living conditions. On the two children in the palace.
I have to say that work is the best way to relieve loneliness, pass the time, and divert attention.
Jia Shu talked with Lin's mother for a while, calmed down the worries she raised after seeing the two children, and then returned to her yard.
After everyone else left, Lin's mother thought about it, and simply left Lin's mansion and went directly to the yard where the actors were placed.
The two children had a great time, as long as Jia Shu sat within their sight, they would not disturb her with their noise, so she went back to the study to get the account books and other things that recorded the problems that needed to be dealt with, and went directly to the children toy room.
Two children are having fun with mechanical animals.
When Jia Shu saw it, he couldn't help being curious: "I asked you to bring the gifts to the princes and princesses earlier, do they like it?"
Pippi Chick nodded like pecking at rice: "The prince likes it very much." He paused and frowned, "But the prince's nephew was very angry and fought with the princes."
Jia Shu: "...what's going on?"
It's just a toy, why is it involved in a fight?
At first, in order to avoid bringing gifts to the twenty-two princes and not other princes, which would make them jealous and cause trouble, she specially asked Cai Kan and others to work overtime to produce nearly ten toy animals, let alone one for each person. Even if one person or two is enough?
No, the prince's nephew?
A flash of light flashed in Jia Shu's mind, and the corner of his mouth
Just like her, there are other wives and ladies who have read this story. When they read this story and come out, they all look like they have cried a lot, which makes people more curious about "Actor's Complaint".
And as the reputation of "Actor's Complaint" is getting better and better, those nobles in the palace who have watched the "Actor's Complaint" without audio can't sit still.
Although the concubines in the palace cannot go out of the palace, as long as they have enough status, they can call their relatives into the palace to meet from time to time——
Of course, only for women.
And after the movie theater opened, when these so-called foreign wives entered the palace, apart from greeting and caring with their concubines, they talked the most about what stories the movie theater released this month, and what were the contents of these stories, okay? Pretty or something.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs will pay attention to a small movie theater, and buy the machine with money after the Lin family got it out, because there are many concubines blowing pillow wind to Emperor Qisheng.
But listening to the words of these wives, the self-image paintings inside the palace seem to be very different from those outside the palace, and the difference is not small.
At least, it is absolutely impossible for the self-screening pictures in the palace to have sound.
Now that Emperor Qisheng is old, he is more willing to pamper younger concubines, but this does not mean that old concubines should not be pampered, it is just that Emperor Qisheng favors them in a different way——
If the request is not high, Emperor Qisheng can generally give what he wants.
So when a group of concubines asked to see a self-image with sound outside the palace, Emperor Qisheng agreed without thinking, and then asked He Wenyi to go to the internal affairs to tell them to go to the shop of the Lin family to buy.
However, Lin's shop refused, saying that there was no self-image that could produce sound.
When he first heard about this, Emperor Qisheng was naturally not happy.But soon, he remembered that Lin Ruhai had shown him in the past that it was just a machine, and he still took the money to buy it at the Lin family's store. No matter what, it was impossible for Lin Ruhai to refute his face.
He asked He Wenyi to call Lin Ruhai into the upper study.
Lin Ruhai was almost used to Qishengdi being called to the study room to ask questions from time to time when he was working. His first reaction when seeing He Wenyi was to review the big and small things that happened between himself and the Lin family during this period, and then Handing over the purse: "Eunuch He, the Holy Majesty let the minister go, but for the Film Academy?"
After a moment of surprise, He Wenyi smiled and nodded: "Exactly. Recently, many empresses have heard that the self-images outside the palace have sound, so they begged the Holy One to buy them some machines that can make sound."
Lin Ruhai was about to explain, when he heard him say again, "People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came back from the palace and said that there is no such machine for sale outside the palace, so they asked you to ask about the situation. Lord Lin, the Holy Majesty promised Many empresses said they would buy the machine back."
Lin Ruhai's eyebrows twitched. It seemed that he had to be more careful than usual when answering later, otherwise it would be easy for Emperor Qisheng to lose face in front of the girls, and he might find it on himself.
"Lin Aiqing is here, get up quickly." Emperor Qisheng had a smile on his face.
Lin Ruhai got up and saw it, feeling strange in his heart: "My lord."
Seeing his doubts, Emperor Qisheng asked with a smile, "It's nothing else to call you here today. I just want to ask the Lin family's movie theater outside the palace, how did it make the picture sound."
Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "My lord, the self-screening pictures of the Lin Family Film Academy have no sound."
The smile on the corner of Emperor Qisheng's mouth froze: "What's the meaning of this? That's not what those wives who were born outside the palace told my concubines like this."
Lin Ruhai hastily explained: "My lord, if you go to the theater to watch self-images, you will indeed have lines and tunes like operas, and even sounds like wind and rain that have never been seen on the opera stage. However, these sounds are not self-images themselves. have."
Emperor Qisheng became interested, "Tell me what's going on."
"Returning to the Lord, before the self-screening picture had no sound, the mother at home mentioned that it would be better if there was sound. After hearing this, Zhuo Jing has been trying to find a way to fulfill her mother's wish. It was only later that I thought that the picture could be matched with sound. As long as we strictly train and let those dubbers grasp the timing well, they will be able to produce voices synchronously with the people in the screen, so that it looks like the voice coming from the film itself.”
The matter of ventriloquism can be regarded as a strange story, and most of the ventriloquists are men, and they usually cannot enter the back house.This has also led to women who have lived in the back house for a long time, only hearing their names, but not knowing what is inside.
There are only a few people like Mr. Zhao who are very familiar with all kinds of novelties. Even many men who have seen self-images do not know the source of those sounds. Bu didn't see it, or he didn't care when he saw it, and the servant girl serving in the movie theater would not go out of his way to tell the guests that those voices were made by humans.
Therefore, it is also possible that some foreign-born women did not explain clearly what happened after entering the palace.
Emperor Qisheng was a little surprised: "Have someone come to add a sound to the painting?"
After the Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased a few machines that could play self-images, he accompanied the concubines to watch one or two works, and he also had a rough understanding of self-images.
But to add sound to self-image...
"There are so many characters in a movie, if all of them are accompanied by sound, wouldn't the room where the movie is shown be full of people?"
"Returning to the emperor, many dubbers can change their voices, some with outstanding skills can even play more than a dozen roles by one person, and the room will not be full of people."
Emperor Qisheng became more and more surprised: "It sounds interesting."
Lin Ruhai hurriedly cupped his hands: "My lord praises you."
Emperor Qisheng waved his hand, "What gender are those dubbers?"
"There are men and women, old and young."
Emperor Qisheng was deep in thought, this is troublesome, he can't call a group of men or children into the palace to raise them.
But Qisheng Emperor always felt unwilling to let him, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, watch self-images without sound, while ordinary dignitaries outside the palace could see self-images with sound.As the emperor, he should have enjoyed the top resources of Great Xia.
Emperor Qisheng hesitated for a long time, but still asked: "Among the dubbers you have trained, are there any women who can dub men?"
Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat: "Of course there are. It's just that some male voices with rough voices still need men to match them."
Thinking of the eunuchs in the palace, Qisheng Emperor couldn't help but ask, "How can someone like Eunuch dub those characters?"
Lin Ruhai bowed his head: "I don't know."
-
"You said that the emperor is interested in self-portraits with voices, so you want the actors trained by your mother to enter the palace?" Jia Shu was a little dazed, "Most of the voice actors are women?"
One reason is that this world is not good for women. Whether it is beggars on the street or slaves who sell at Renyazi, women are still the majority.
The second reason is that most of the guests in the movie theater are women and children. In order not to worry them or let outsiders talk about it, the actors who dub them are all women.
Lin Ruhai was puzzled: "If most of them are women, wouldn't it be easier to enter the palace?"
In the palace, apart from the ungrown prince and the eunuchs, the only guards are men.But the guards are not allowed to walk around in the palace at will, otherwise they will face the crime of beheading.
In the palace, Lin Ruhai didn't immediately agree to Emperor Qisheng's question because he felt that most of the dubbers were men. Listening now, it doesn't seem to be the case. When the time comes to let those dubbers enter the palace, there will be nothing else. concern.
Jia Shu waved his hand: "Have you thought about how these women will come out after entering the palace?"
The court ladies can leave the palace when they reach a certain age, but those dancers and singers, have you heard that they were released?After these voice actors and ventriloquists entered the palace, their identities in the palace were almost at the same level as dancers and singers. How could she push people into the fire pit.
"The emperor must let them enter the palace?" Jia Shu couldn't help asking.
Lin Ruhai nodded: "The emperor has promised several empresses that they will see a self-portrait with sound. If they can't do it, the emperor will lose face. I am very worried that he will get angry."
This is a real disaster.
Jia Shu hesitated for a while, curious: "How many theater troupes are raised in the palace? Are they all women?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head: "How come? There must be men and women."
"Then where do they usually live, can someone become the emperor's concubine?"
Lin Ruhai laughed: "There are so many empresses in the palace, how can the sage..." He shook his head and looked at Jia Shu, "Are you worried about this? It's completely unnecessary. Even if those dubbers enter the palace, they will serve them most of the time. Empress of the harem, the sage has a lot of things to do every day, and there are not many opportunities to take self-screening as a pastime."
Jia Shu also found it funny, but most of the modern TV dramas play the emperor in a hurry. It seems that no matter what the status of a woman is, as long as the emperor is interested, she can get it in the palace. She can't help but think too much.
"These dubbing actors were only trained by their mothers, and the film theater cannot do without them for the time being." Jia Shu said seriously, "If the ladies in the palace really want to watch, it's not that they can't enter the palace, but they can't stay for a long time to finish performing for the ladies. going to leave."
Lin Ruhai was a little embarrassed: "Those empresses won't agree."
Under the influence of Jia Shu and Lin's mother these years, Lin Ruhai can be considered to understand the intrigue between women. No matter what he thinks, he doesn't think that after the dubber enters the palace, all the empresses will go to see the self-image at the same time.
Jia Shu also didn't think it would be a good thing for the Lin family if voice actors and ventriloquists entered the palace.
If the dubbers stay in the palace for a short time, the number of performances they can perform in the palace is very limited. It is very likely that they can only perform one or two performances of the same play in a day——
The voices of these dubbers are very precious. As long as they perform one performance, they have to rest for a while.In one day, you can't perform too many performances, you have to combine work and rest, and take good care of your voice.How those opera actors take care of their voices on weekdays, Jia Shu asked them how to take care of them.
In order to keep them from getting too tired, the actors in the theater work in several shifts, and a group of actors will never perform more than four times a day.
But entering the palace to perform for the royal family cannot always perform the same repertoire.If several stories are performed in turn, those empresses will naturally only have one or two chances a day when they see that they like the show.
With limited opportunities, those concubines had to sit together and watch self-screening pictures.
It is true that women in the palace are always better at acting than others, even if they wish to kill each other in their hearts, they can still maintain a smile on their faces.But there are always one or two that are really difficult to deal with, even appearing together is a kind of torture.And it's okay to sit and act with people who don't deal with it once or twice, but if it happens every time they watch their own movies, how could they be willing?Besides, they put their minds on acting, so why should they go to see their own movies?
But Jia Shu was worried about letting these voice actors enter the palace completely and be raised by the emperor.
Not to mention their own willingness to enter the palace.Although these dubbing actors and ventriloquists were capable, they were soft-spoken and lowly. They accidentally offended someone after entering the palace, and they didn't know how they died.Since she bought people back, she must be responsible for them.
What's more, some of these people are the sons of the Lin family, and they know their roots well, but a large part of them were bought from the prostitute. The Lin family doesn't know their past. Wrong, it is the Lin family who bear the blame.
It's okay for a short time, it's hard for them to find out the palace, and they won't make trouble, but after a long time, who knows if there will be any trouble.
Even if those who were sent to the palace were all innocent, but as long as they had a relationship with the Lin family, the longer it was, it was inevitable that someone would try to trip the Lin family through them.
So it’s okay to enter the palace occasionally to perform for the emperor’s concubines. The time is short. Neither the people in the palace nor the voice actors can set up a sophisticated enough trap, and no one will take the risk.
"What does it matter if the empress doesn't agree?" Jia Shu smiled, "The emperor mentioned this matter to you, you just need to convince the emperor."
Could it be that those empresses can still ask Lin Ruhai, a foreigner, to ask questions?
If they were looking for themselves or Lin's mother, they only needed to shirk that Lin Ruhai had already agreed, and there was nothing they could do. How could those empresses do anything to them?Today is different from the past, Lin Ruhai is no longer the person who can be manipulated by others, who has a title but is completely speechless in the capital.
Just because Emperor Qisheng valued Lin Ruhai, those concubines did not dare to be angry with them for no reason.
"But didn't you say that some men's roles cannot be played by women?"
Jia Shu didn't think it was a big deal: "If you encounter such a role in a play, just eliminate it directly. The time to enter the palace is limited, and you always need to carefully select the play, and it is possible to miss one or two. Or, doesn’t the emperor already know about it? You just go and tell the emperor.”
-
In the end, the dubbing and ventriloquists of the film theater finally entered the palace.
But Lin Ruhai was eloquent, and in the end he really convinced Emperor Qisheng, agreeing to let the dubbers only stay in the palace for a short time, and only need to enter the palace occasionally to perform for the concubines.
However, Lin Ruhai and his wife thought of concubines, but never thought of the little prince and princess in the palace.
The concubine would want to watch plays like "Actor's Complaint", but why wouldn't the little prince and princess not want to watch plays like "Little Tadpole"?
And with the voice, these princes and grandchildren will love similar plays even more.
Then came the problem.
The twenty-one prince is only a few years old, and his self-control is not very good. After seeing the self-screening, he likes it very much. As long as he hears that the dubber enters the palace to perform, he will go to see it even if he skips class.
The twenty-two prince is similar to him, but the twenty-two prince doesn't have a reputation for being fond of reading!
A prince who originally liked to read became obsessed with self-screening, not to mention the mother and concubine of the [-]st prince, as long as he was a concubine with children, he would have a very bad impression of him.
Among them, the mother and concubine of the [-]st Prince had the worst impression of self-images, and then she approached Emperor Qisheng.
When Emperor Qisheng heard it at first, he just thought it was ridiculous: "If you are worried about your children getting addicted to it, you take the children and stay in your own palace and don't look at it, I don't believe they can still be addicted!"
That concubine's position was not high, seeing that Emperor Qisheng didn't care, she had no choice but to leave.
But soon, the master who taught the young prince found the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please be careful. During these days, some princes often ask for leave and miss classes. I didn't take it seriously at first, but after careful questioning, I found out that several princes have gone to watch their own movies."
Emperor Qisheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly sent someone to take the princes to the upper study.
Those princes may not be afraid of their wives—anyway, as long as there is no trouble, they will only hit a few boards—but when facing Emperor Qisheng, they are as cowardly as quails.
This master is too hateful, even sued the parents!
Several princes looked at the master standing beside them, all of them had unattractive expressions, and the lively [-]nd prince even made faces at the master.
Then, he was arrested by Emperor Qisheng.
He scolded in a cold voice: "Twenty-two, I told your teacher to be respectful, do you take it to heart?"
Twenty-two was taken aback, tears couldn't stop falling down.
Emperor Qisheng saw it, and didn't feel distressed at all: "Weren't you very happy when you made a face to Master just now? If you disrespect Master again next time, just let me leave."
Twenty-two didn't dare to cry anymore, so he could only hold back his voice.
The other princes were frightened by Emperor Qisheng's sternness, and they dared not speak any more, nor did they dare to be disrespectful to their master.
Only then did Qishengdi begin to ask what was going on.
The princes didn't dare to lie, so they told all about how they heard the news about Ziyinghua, how they skipped class, how they got rid of the palace people and went to the harem to find the place where the concubines watched Ziyinghua. up.
After listening to it, Emperor Qisheng inevitably frowned, and he began to doubt whether his decision to let Lin Ruhai call the voice actor of his own movie into the palace was correct.
Nowadays, those dubbers only enter the palace occasionally, which caused his children to fail to learn well. Thinking about that time, after he heard what the concubine said, he thought about leaving people in the palace directly. If he really did that at that time, he Isn't your child unable to read books?
Emperor Qisheng turned his eyes around the children, paused, and said, "Why aren't the prince's companions here?"
The master said: "Back to the emperor, the companions of the princes are still studying and never left."
Emperor Qisheng looked dangerously at the princes, "Why are you running away when they can read?"
In order to teach his children not to be trash, he almost tested all the ministers, and finally selected a few ministers who had real skills and could teach to teach his sons.These ministers were all from serious imperial examinations, and then stayed in the Imperial Academy and other places for a long time. It can be said that they are well-educated, and their personalities are very open-minded, and they are not narrow-minded people.
Emperor Qisheng was very relieved that such a master taught his children.
Looking at those princes who have grown up, each of them has outstanding abilities, Emperor Qisheng naturally values these masters more and more.
These masters were carefully selected by him for his children, but now, his own children skipped classes, and the children he found to be his children's companions were concentrating on listening to the class. How could Emperor Qisheng not be angry?
"You leave, why don't you take anyone with you..."
After all, the companion is a boy, these princes all know the rules in the palace, and will not easily bring their companion into the harem.
Emperor Qisheng was half angry when he suddenly thought of this matter, and then became even angrier.
Even skipped class, but still remembered the rules of the palace!
At this time, the twenty-first prince suddenly said: "But, it was the mother concubine who agreed with my son to skip class."
Emperor Qisheng suddenly turned his head to look at him: "What did you say?"
The twenty-first prince flinched, "My concubine, my concubine agreed."
Emperor Qisheng suddenly remembered that the mother and concubine of the twenty-first prince complained to him a few days ago, wanting him to seal up the self-portrait in the palace, and his face became so dark that he could drip ink.
Emperor Qisheng tried his best to restrain the steaming anger in his heart: "What else did she say?"
The twenty-first prince tensed up, his eyes blank: "No, no..."
He turned to look at the other princes: "What about you? Why did you skip class? Did your mother and concubine agree?"
Twenty-two, Twenty-three and other older princes all pursed their lips, their eyes were as red as rabbits, but because they were afraid of Emperor Qisheng, they didn't dare to cry.
The twenty-second prince was more courageous, and he spoke first: "Go back, go back to the father, my son watched Er Erge skipping class, so my son ran away..."
Hearing this answer, Emperor Qisheng really couldn't swallow the breath that was choked in his chest, and couldn't let it out.
What does it mean to watch your brother run away, and he also runs away?
But thinking of the twenty-two prince's character of being illiterate and fond of jumping up and down, the corners of Emperor Qisheng's mouth twitched, and he could only put it down temporarily.
"What about you?" Emperor Qisheng looked at the youngest twenty-three princes.
The Twenty-Third Prince burst into tears: "My elder brother has left, and my son followed suit..."
Emperor Qisheng: "...don't you have other brothers?"
Twenty-three cried loudly: "The other brothers said that Erchen is young, so they don't take Erchen to play!"
Emperor Qisheng: "..." The old twenty-san is not yet weaned!
He turned his head to look at the other princes, looked at them, and waved his hands helplessly: "Forget it, forget it this time, if there is another time, I'll see if I beat you!"
After the group of little ones left, Emperor Qisheng's eyes darkened.
At first, he thought it was a problem with his self-image, but now it seems that the women in his harem are vicious.
-
The twenty-first prince returned to his bedroom and told his mother and concubine what happened today.
His mother and concubine didn't react too much when she heard it, but just asked him to go back to the study to write and read, and must write down what the husband said today.
After he left, her mother and concubine sat down on the bed, her eyes were gloomy: "I just wanted my son to skip class to make the emperor wary of those things that make people playful and depressing. How, how did it make such a big fuss? Is good……"
Based on her understanding of Emperor Qisheng, what she did has completely touched his bottom line, and in the future, their mother and son will definitely have a hard time.
-
Soon, it was the day when the Pippi siblings returned home.
Jia Shu arrived outside the palace gate early in the carriage. As soon as he saw the two children, he asked someone to bring them over, got into the carriage and went home.
After that day, the princes didn't dare to skip class to watch self-screening, and sat in their own seats to study every day.
But this matter, after all, spread outside the palace.
Other animations are fine, but the audience for those self-screening paintings specially drawn for children has been greatly reduced.
But later, not only did the palace not do anything to the Lin family, but instead rewarded Lin Ruhai with some property for no reason—it was said that self-imagery improved the lives of the people, but who would believe it?But business at the cinema has since climbed again, even better than before.
Sure enough, Qishengdi's name is easier to use than others.
Jia Shu didn't pay much attention to this, on the contrary, she was more worried that the people in the palace would blame the two children for this.The children are still young, and they don't know how to fight back when they are bullied by others.After the news came out, she was always on tenterhooks.
Fortunately, the two children are safe and sound.
Pippi was checked by Jia Shu over and over several times. At first, he felt that Jia Shu was playing with him, but later he felt that something was wrong: "Mother, what are you doing?"
Jia Shu was taken aback: "Why did you call me mother?"
Jia Shu didn't know until he was in the Dream of Red Mansions that the title "Mom" had already appeared at this time, and it was just for mother.Since it is not surprising to call her child "Mom", the two syllables "Mom" are the easiest to pronounce. When the two children started to learn to speak, she kept chanting in the children's ears. , Over time, the two children have been calling her "mother".
Lin Ruhai and Lin's mother didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so Jia Shu didn't let them change it.
But why did Pippi change her name not long after entering the palace?
"Sir, it's more solemn to call you a mother, and it can better express the son's respect for his mother." Pippi made a sullen face, trying to make herself look more reliable.
Jia Shu pinched the flesh on his face, a little helpless: "But I just think this name is very unfamiliar, doesn't Pippi think?"
Pippi stared wide-eyed: "But my father also called the old lady that way."
Well, Pippi is no longer called Lin Ruhai's father, nor Lin's mother and grandmother.
But Jia Shu didn’t know how to explain it. Just as Mrs. Pippi said, in order to show their respect to their mother, and to appear more formal and solemn, many people really use “mother” when calling their mother.Although Jia Shu didn't like it, he couldn't say it was wrong.
But Pippi calls herself "mother", why does it sound so strange and uncomfortable?
Jia Shu hugged the two children into her arms: "I don't care, you can't call me mother anyway." After a pause, she thought that Pippi would inevitably deal with others when she took the imperial examination in the future, and said, "At least at home, It can't be called that."
Pippi nodded half understanding: "Mom."
Zhuzhu had been silently watching the conversation between the two, and only then called "Mom" at this time.
Jia Shu nodded in satisfaction.
As for what the two children called Lin Ruhai and Lin Mu, Jia Shu didn't want them to change.Mother Lin and Lin Ruhai are both natives of the Red Chamber, so they must have accepted terms like "father" and "old lady" well, so she won't forcefully correct them.
After solving the title problem, Jia Shu began to care about the life of the two children in the palace.
"What is the character of the twenty-two princes and twelve princesses? Did they bully you? Did the other companions and attendants do anything for you?"
Zhuzhu shook her head simply: "The princess is fine."
"Is she nice to you?" Jia Shu asked again.
Zhuzhu hesitated for a moment, and just when Jia Shu's heart began to speed up and couldn't help but want to speak, Zhuzhu said: "The princess is very kind to me, but she likes to ask about my family."
"Huh?" Jia Shu was puzzled, "What about my family?"
At the mention of this question, Zhuzhu's facial features were all wrinkled: "The princess always asks if there is a meowing cat in my house, and if there is any new story coming out of the movie theater, but I don't know. I said it." , she doesn't believe it."
Zhuzhu looked at Jia Shu blankly, "The princess sometimes takes me to meet other princesses, but they all only ask me these questions."
Jia Shu was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether the princesses were asking these questions because they were curious, or if someone was teaching them behind their backs.After thinking about it, she simply said to the two children: "If someone asks you these questions again in the future, just pretend that you didn't hear them. If you ask too many questions, just say... that the emperor is very powerful, he must know. "
Since it is a question that the emperor's children want to know, let the emperor solve it directly, how can it make things difficult for her children.
Pippi was curious: "Didn't the prince ask Pippi during class?"
Jia Shu and Zhuzhu looked at Pippi together, Jia Shu frowned: "Never asked?"
Pippi shook her head: "I used to ask, but after being taught a lesson by the emperor, I don't ask any more."
Emperor Qisheng was so busy every day, how could he call his companion over to give him a lecture just because the prince asked his companion a few questions?It seems that the previous rumors are true.
She looked at Pippi: "Pippi, when the princes skipped class, did you run away with them?"
Pippi quickly shook his head: "No, the prince won't take me with him."
Jia Shu thought about it, but didn't ask why.
The mother and son returned home and immediately went to Mother Lin's yard.
Just after entering the door, Lin's mother called the two children over, hugged and shouted "Guaiguai" and "Sweetheart".
The two children were taken aback by Lin's mother's sudden enthusiasm, and almost turned their heads to ask Jia Shu to save them.
Mother Lin is also reserved and dignified. In the past, no matter how much she spoiled her two children, she would not do things that were not in line with etiquette.Occasionally getting close to the two children is also because Jia Shu is there to guide the two children.
But now I haven't seen the two children for several days, and Lin's mother doesn't care about that much, so there is this scene that makes the two children a little "too much".
Fortunately, Lin's mother quickly adjusted, put down the two children and sat in her seat.
Mother Lin actually wanted to hold them in her arms just like the children did when they were young.It's just that men and women have different seats at the age of seven. Although the Lin family doesn't pay much attention to it, when the child grows up, it is natural to start paying attention to details. At least such things as holding the child cannot be done lightly.
The two children chatted with Mother Lin for a while in the house, then they held hands and left the yard like two walking glutinous rice balls, going to the toy room.
After being away for so long, the two children also miss the toys at home very much.
Lin's mother's brows were filled with worry: "Is there any inconvenience for the two children in the palace? Have they been bullied? Can they be liked by the husband?"
Jia Shu answered one by one, trying to appease Lin Mu.
After hearing this, Mother Lin felt relieved a lot, but she was still a little worried about the future life of the two children: "The two children are growing up slowly, and the palace is not peaceful, and I don't know if someone will take care of them." Reach out to them."
It wasn't that she was aimless, she was so worried because she was frightened when the news came that Jia Hu, the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, fell into the water some time ago and almost died.
Especially after the investigation, it was found that there was a certain prince concubine's handwriting in it, Lin's mother was even more frightened, and immediately sorted out the entire Lin family, and then cleared out at least ten other spies who had been placed in the Lin family.Among them, the one with the highest status was found out with the cooperation of Chixia, and another person was placed by the Twelve Princes.
What surprised Jia Shu was that not only were there four spies in number, but the quality was also particularly high——
One of them even served as Lin Ruhai's personal servant.
Even if that young man is not close to Lin Ruhai, he can't use it on weekdays, and Lin Ruhai doesn't trust him enough, but as long as he thinks about his position at that time, as long as he thinks about it, it's really easy to attack Lin Ruhai.
Several servants took turns serving Lin Ruhai, and there was always a time when he was the only one left. If he seized the opportunity, drugged, assassinated, etc., he could easily succeed.
Of course, there are other people placed by the prince, but they may not be good at this, or they may want to attract people's attention. The errands they do in the Lin family are not important.
The only good news is that those people still have a conscience and did not plan to take action against the two children.
Both Lin Ruhai and Lin's mother were so frightened that they simply brought several families from the Lin family's Zhuangzi to serve at the mansion, and decided not to buy servants from the matchmaker in the future.
Even Lin Ruhai almost had an accident. How can the two children whose bodies have not yet grown up and who may fall ill and die young if they don't pay attention, how can they not be worrying?
Of course, this incident also brought another sequelae——
Lin's mother felt that it was not safe for the Lin family to have only one male, so she began to urge Jia to get pregnant.
Jia Shu: "..."
It wasn't that she didn't want to get pregnant. After the two children were two years old, she and Lin Ruhai didn't take any contraceptive measures when they had sex. But after more than three years, what could she do if she didn't get pregnant?
Maybe the Lin family is really doomed to be a single pass.
Of course, Jia Shu didn't dare to tell Lin's mother like this, she just told Lin's mother that she didn't have contraception, and asked Dr. Li to check, both of them were in good health, and there was no hindrance to pregnancy.As for the reason why she hadn't had children for so long, she didn't know.
Mother Lin was also frightened at the beginning, but after she calmed down, she knew that it was not good for her to urge Jia Shu to get pregnant, so she didn't urge Jia Shu to get pregnant again... at least she didn't urge Jia Shu to get pregnant face to face.
But Jia Shu could see that Mother Lin still hoped that she could add another child to the Lin family.
Before that, Mother Lin would probably regard the two children Pippi and Zhuzhu as more important than before these things happened, and she might fall into panic if there is any disturbance.
But Mother Lin is very rational, no matter how panicked she is, she won't make other people feel uncomfortable.
Although getting pregnant is quite simple, given Lin Ruhai's physical problems, she is already very lucky to be able to conceive two children within a year of marriage. She doesn't want to embarrass herself for the sake of the children.
She can only pretend not to know.
However, Lin's mother is currently busy with affairs related to the film theater, including but not limited to conditional actors, etc., so she still has a lot of free time on weekdays, and she doesn't have much time to focus on Jia Shu's stomach, and the usual living conditions. On the two children in the palace.
I have to say that work is the best way to relieve loneliness, pass the time, and divert attention.
Jia Shu talked with Lin's mother for a while, calmed down the worries she raised after seeing the two children, and then returned to her yard.
After everyone else left, Lin's mother thought about it, and simply left Lin's mansion and went directly to the yard where the actors were placed.
The two children had a great time, as long as Jia Shu sat within their sight, they would not disturb her with their noise, so she went back to the study to get the account books and other things that recorded the problems that needed to be dealt with, and went directly to the children toy room.
Two children are having fun with mechanical animals.
When Jia Shu saw it, he couldn't help being curious: "I asked you to bring the gifts to the princes and princesses earlier, do they like it?"
Pippi Chick nodded like pecking at rice: "The prince likes it very much." He paused and frowned, "But the prince's nephew was very angry and fought with the princes."
Jia Shu: "...what's going on?"
It's just a toy, why is it involved in a fight?
At first, in order to avoid bringing gifts to the twenty-two princes and not other princes, which would make them jealous and cause trouble, she specially asked Cai Kan and others to work overtime to produce nearly ten toy animals, let alone one for each person. Even if one person or two is enough?
No, the prince's nephew?
A flash of light flashed in Jia Shu's mind, and the corner of his mouth
