Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The emperor easily helped his son up, and smiled slightly: "My words are too serious, did they scare you?"

The eighth elder brother didn't know why, so he didn't dare to answer indiscriminately. He just lowered his head and heard his father say: "You are the earliest mind among the brothers. These words may not be useful to them, but I think you should be able to understand them. After leaving the palace If you stand on your own, you are not just princes. It is impossible for me to shelter you all under the wings. If you do something wrong in the future, it is not because you were naughty and mischievous when you were young. You can solve it with a few curses and a beating. There will be many If people want to intervene, there will be many people waiting to see what will happen to you after you make a mistake. After all, before doing anything, think about whether you can bear it."

"Yes." Eighth Prince nodded and replied solemnly, "My son will firmly remember Huang Ama's teachings."

Xuan Ye put his hand on his son's shoulder again, and said gently: "No matter what, you are all my sons. In my eyes, there is no such thing as favoring one over another. It's just that the world is too snobbish."

The eighth elder brother was in a mood of ups and downs today, he was always smart, but at this moment he didn't know what to say, after that it was almost his father who was talking, and gradually turned from these serious topics to the construction of the garden in the mansion, and he followed up with a few words, and he would come back later Drinking tea in the main hall, it was getting late, Bafujin asked generously: "Is Huang Ama going back to the palace after eating?"

But the emperor said: "Wen Xian is still in the princess mansion, I took them back to the palace together, so I won't waste any time with you." After that, he told the eighth elder brother a few words, and left with the last touch of the setting sun.

Eight Fujin accompanied her husband to send the emperor to the gate of the house. She calmly smiled and sent the emperor off. Amid the sound of rolling wheels, the emperor finally moved away. Eight Fujin straightened up to breathe a sigh of relief. Looking back at her husband, he still bowed his head on the ground. He couldn't help reaching out to pull him, and said with a smile: "Huang Ama has already left, let's get up."

Yinhu was stunned, and slowly got up with the support of his wife, raised his eyes to look at the place where the dust was flying, and in the dim smoke and dust, Sheng Jia had already disappeared without a trace, and heard his wife say in his ear: "There is something I want to do. I haven't had time to tell you, but you are busy getting ready to pick you up after you come back, so I can't get in the way."

"what?"

"You come with me." Bafujin smiled calmly, with a bit of mystery, and took her husband back to the bedroom in the main courtyard, handed a letter to her husband and said, "The letter from Jiangning Weaving Mansion, please take a look." .”

Yinhu was puzzled, pinched the letter and asked, "You know what it is, why are you so happy?"

Ba Fujin smiled: "Prince An's Mansion is most happy to receive letters from all the weaving mansions in the south of the Yangtze River. There are always good things, do you understand?"

Yinhu frowned slightly, and opened the letter in front of his wife to read it. Just now, he held a thick stack of hearts in his hand and felt strange. At this moment, he suddenly understood why his wife was happy. Each denomination is not large, but it can be counted, and there are as many as 5000 taels.He himself may not be able to save so much money in the next few years. He said to the prince that the 2000 taels of silver was his private money, but he almost exhausted everything in the family. Dare to mention it to his wife.

"Look, I knew they were here to honor you. Do you have any errands that have something to do with Jiang Ning recently?" Ba Fujin tutted, counting the pile of bank notes again and again, saying, " In the past, Prince An's Mansion was very happy when it received a letter from Jiangnan, and every time it passed, life in the mansion would be much better. Gradually, I understood that it was money that was honored by Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, I also felt these things when."

Yinhu frowned slightly: "Huang Ama just told me the way of being a courtier today, I'm afraid it's not very good."

But Fujin laughed: "It's your turn, I don't know how much the elder brothers have already taken. Look at the big elder brother and the third elder brother and their houses are so rich. You are all the same elder brothers. Whoever gets more salary than whom?" Well, it’s not just subsidized everywhere, our family finally has a big income.”

Thinking about it, it's his turn to get filial piety, and I don't know how much it has been stuffed, Yinhu remembered to read the letter, but it was good to see it, and he was really taken aback. Who would have thought that Cao Yin would say this Filial piety is due to the fact that he was an old friend of the nobleman Juechan when he was young. Yinhu knew a little about the background of some mothers, but he didn't expect to bring such a "good thing" to him.

Bafujin also read the letter, tsk-tsk: "I heard that before the accident happened in Eniang's family, she was considered a wealthy family. She grew up in Mingzhu Mansion, and the relatives who can make Mingzhu Mansion look good are never bad. Where are you going? Sure enough, Mr. Cao is thinking of you. This southern tour is a pity. When you go to the south of the Yangtze River next time, or when he returns to Beijing to report on his work, it will be good to meet him."

After thinking about it for a while, Yinhu thought that his father disliked the shabbiness of the house, so he handed all the banknotes to his wife, and said to her gently: "From now on, you can take care of the big bills at home. You have to save some money. Huang Ama came down today and told me that the house is too simple."

"Sure enough, Huang Ama told you, I hope he doesn't think that we are doing this on purpose. If the family has a surplus, I am willing to buy things like other houses, but we have just started to live. You spend money outside There are so many places, I always think that I can live my life behind closed doors, just don’t wrong you to be decent outside.” Ba Fujin carefully kept the banknotes, and smiled to her husband, “I can’t make money if I save money. Come on, if you are not in a hurry to spend money and you can trust me, I will use it to invest in a few businesses so that money will beget money, which is rare.”

Yinhu asked in surprise, "You still understand these things?"

Bafujin smiled: "I have seen a lot in the palace, and I understand a little bit. My aunts always talk about this kind of thing. But don't worry, I have nothing to do with them. We are just doing some business, and the profits are small. Longer."

Yinhu didn't understand these things at all, and suddenly felt that there were many things worth learning outside the palace, and somehow he felt better, and then he thought about what his father said about the adoptive mother and birth mother, and told his wife that the birth mother should be promoted to the concubine up.After thinking about it, the couple decided that no matter what, they couldn't neglect their biological mother. They had to do everything well, so they wouldn't be afraid of people saying that the eighth elder brother had forgotten the favor of the adoptive mother one day, and the next day that they disliked the humble birth of the biological mother. They could only do better. , in order to cope with the ever-changing human sophistication.

The sky was getting dark, and the brand-new Princess Mansion was brightly lit, because no servants had been arranged to come in. Right now, only the people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are here to do care. The spacious house is empty, and Wen Xian has already walked up and down, He also asked the fourth elder brother: "Is my house bigger than yours?"

Xiao Chen'er said: "Probably because there is no one here, my sister thinks it's too big."

Yinzhen said with a smile: "Your house is indeed bigger, it's because of the emperor's grandmother. Since you were young, you have been paid more than us. They were all born by Er Niang, and your younger sister is only half of yours."

Xiao Chen'er is well-behaved: "I didn't feel wronged at all, it's the emperor's grandmother who gave my sister a lot, and I'm the same as my brothers and sisters."

Wen Xian was a little embarrassed. In fact, everyone also understood that instead of saying that those things were filial to her, the palace actually looked at the queen mother to give them. The emperor respected the queen mother so much, and the queen mother loved herself so much, everything was logical.Fortunately, her brothers and sisters don't care about these things, so she said more carelessly: "From now on, we will all live in the city, if the fourth brother needs help, just ask, and the younger sister has nothing else, probably because she is rich. "

Everyone laughed, but Wen Xian said domineeringly to Shun Anyan: "Why are you laughing, mine is yours?" But when he said that, seeing his brothers and sisters-in-law smiling deeply, he immediately felt ashamed and even more annoyed Shun Anyan embarrassed him, and dragged him to look elsewhere, but Yinzhen and Yuxi didn't stop him.

At this time, someone outside told Sheng Jia to come, and Yin Zhen went to greet him at the door, Yu Xi followed him, and when he turned around to call Xiao Chen'er, he saw her staring at her sister and future brother-in-law in a daze. The innocent and beautiful expression on the little girl's face made her heart skip a beat, she hurriedly shook her head to suppress the strange thought, stepped forward to help Wen Chen and said, "Let's go." The princess chased her back, so that they could meet her at the door together.

The holy driver arrived a quarter of an hour later, and Xuan Ye entered the house surrounded by a pair of daughters. The princess mansion has not yet been occupied, and it already shows a full of wealth and nobility. Coming over from the elder brother's mansion, it looks even more magnificent.

"Huang Ama, my sister's house is bigger than the one in Erniang's Palace." Xiao Chen'er said coquettishly, "The garden at the back is also big, and my sister said that she will raise peacocks in the future."

Xuan Ye loved and coaxed her tenderly: "When Xiao Chen'er got married, Huang Ama built you the same house. It's wider than sister?"

The little girl couldn't help but her cheeks were flushed, she hid with a naive smile and followed her sister-in-law, Yuxi accompanied her, thinking of the scene just now, and seeing her sister-in-law's sweet smile at this moment, she couldn't help blaming herself for thinking wildly, and then talked and laughed with her, forgetting everything up.

Shengjia didn't stay for too long, and the princess mansion is not far from the imperial city. The whole family went back to the palace early. The fourth elder brother and Fujin sent them all the way to the gate of the palace without following him. But he laughed: "My little aunt is bothering about the affairs of the princess mansion. I haven't done anything, and I still feel a little guilty in my heart. Now I don't have to be too ashamed for my mother."

The couple were in a good mood, but Yinzhen remembered that his father wanted him to move the Li family, so he decided to discuss with his wife after returning home, how to speak without hurting others too much.

In the deep palace, the two princesses went to the Ningshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother and report about the princess mansion. Knowing that their father was going to rest in the Yonghe Palace, they never came back.But when Sheng Jia arrived at the Yonghe Palace, he saw other people waiting besides Lan Qi and her son. As expected, Concubine Rong had been waiting anxiously for a long time. It seemed that she already knew about Sanfu Jin's disgrace in front of the imperial court today.

Lan Qi met Xuan Ye's eyes after saluting, and gave him a wink. Xuan Ye understood, and said to Concubine Rong: "Your headache is better, and the weather is still very hot, why did you come out?"
