The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 45 Scorching Summer
For the first time, Kangxi felt that watching the memorial was very disgusting. After staying for two months, he finally got tired of Xia Tian.The old man took his original team away to escape the summer heat. This time, he took the queen mother away with him, and Yinzhen's younger sister, Princess Heshuo Wenxian who had just married the Tong family not long ago, was also with him.

At this time, Minzhi was eating homemade ice cream at home, enjoying the wind brought by the simple fan blowing on the silk and linen mixed clothes.There are endless fresh fruits and endless homemade ice cubes in the house. Minzhi asked people to add blinds to the windows of the bedroom and study.While shading the sun, it does not block the wind. Pregnant women are most afraid of heat. For the sake of Yinhu’s child, Minzhi generously cools Chen’s room with ice cubes, changing patterns to help her relieve the heat.

Enjoying it at home, Minzhi will naturally not forget the concubine Liang who stayed in the palace to recuperate. Summer is the best time for her to maintain her health, so the ingredients for nourishing qi and blood are sent to Chuxiu Palace for free. Of course, snacks such as fruit soup and raisins are indispensable. This time, Kangxi took all his concubines and concubines with him during the summer vacation. Therefore, the eighteenth elder brother is too young to stay in the palace and be taken care of by the palace people. Concubine Liang made it easy, and Concubine Hui often took the two children to Zhongcui Palace in the name of condolences. With the joint efforts of Concubine Hui and Minzhi, the two children grew steadily like newborn white lotus roots, with prickly heat all over their bodies. Not one grain.Concubine Liang saw her sons and daughters from time to time, her mood gradually improved, and she no longer bothered about those favors that never existed. Sure enough, the bright summer sun was the most nourishing for her. Her complexion improved day by day, and her complexion returned After recovering her whiteness, Concubine Hui gritted her teeth with envy when she saw her standing under the sun without any scruples: "My sister's complexion really gets more beautiful with the sun!" Regarding this point, Minzhi was also very speechless, ancient clothes are so conservative, She's still tanned.But the maintenance prescriptions used by Concubine Liang were all given by her, so why didn't it work on her own body?
Minzhi looked at Concubine Liang's white porcelain skin with resentment, thinking of Yinhu, who is now out at night at home, that someone's face is getting whiter and more beautiful with the sun, it's unreasonable and unreasonable.

From the beginning of this year to now, Kangxi has only been in Beijing for a total of two months. The absence of the emperor means that there is no need to queue up at the Meridian Gate early in the morning, and all the officials, big and small, are alive. colorful.Unknown people began to come in and out of Babeile's house, so Minzhi evacuated her own cubicle in a very sensible way, and ordered the servants to make the study room and the Linfeng Xiaozhu where He Zhuo lived in a forbidden area, and immediately evict them. go out.

Her actions are undoubtedly a disguised reminder, and everyone understands it.Minzhi even engraved four small characters on the corner of Yinhu's desk, "Awe-inspiring Four Knowledges".Just to remind him that even at home, the work of keeping secrets must be done well.In fact, every time there are strangers visiting the house, Minzhi is very excited, scratching her head and wanting to go and see.Baye Party, I really want to watch it.However, she held back.

That night, Minzhi asked someone to prepare bath water soaked in wormwood leaves, and took a comfortable bath. While she was getting dressed, Qiu Ju's voice outside said: "Master Belle is auspicious, Fujin is taking a bath..." Then Yinhu's voice: "I'll wait for her outside." Minzhi quickly put on her jacket, stepped on her slippers, and walked out from inside, holding her wet hair in her hand: "You looking for me?" One was holding a coat, and the other was holding a dry towel: "Fu Jin, your hair is still dripping..."

It was the first time Yinhu saw such a slovenly woman, and she turned her face on the spot: "Go in and tidy up before you come out..." Minzhi looked at herself suspiciously, and then at the magpie who was desperately pulling her sleeve: "I'm sorry .” Turning back again, he put on his coat and twisted his hair.Come out again.I was crying in my heart, I was washed in vain, and I was sweating again.Yinhu was eating iced grapes, and looked at her with interest: "You walk around like this every day?" "The heat is too heavy, it's not just after taking a bath...you, you are outside..."

Yinhu walked into her, sniffing the fragrance of wormwood on her body: "Did you engrave those four characters?" She wiped her hair very lightly, but Minzhi froze there and did not dare to move: "I, I don't understand, I just carved it for fun." Yinhu grinned behind her: "Change tomorrow and let Qiu Ju Find some bamboo strips for you, and carve them for fun." Minzhi didn't dare to laugh: "It's so late, why don't you rest?" Yinhu's hand didn't stop: "They are all from the Imperial Academy, you Forgot to ask Huang Ama about the important person?" Minzhi was startled: Could it be that Yinhu is interviewing? "Is there anyone you like?" When she called him "Master", it meant that the next thing was "business".But he answered indifferently: "From what I can see, there is no one Fujin wants..."

Minzhi insisted until her neck was stiff. Hearing what he said, she wanted to turn her head to refute, but when she turned her head, the smile on someone's face that she hadn't seen for a long time reminded her of the concubine Liang who was envious and jealous, and said in a somewhat angry tone: " It doesn't count if I say it..." Yinhu smiled with eyebrows crooked: "This is only counted if you say it..."

Minzhi was a little annoyed by his laughter: "The Imperial Academy is a place for learning, adults are at least Jinshi, others don't mention it, Mr. He is an example, such a person, how can I, a female family member, have the final say?" Yinhu He continued in a good mood: "Mr. He is very grateful to you, isn't he?" Minzhi was silent for a long time. "Huang Ama is still outside the Great Wall, let's take this matter for a while." Yinhu sighed: "I don't think Huang Ama will let me choose someone capable." Minzhi sighed: "Then Just draw lots, whoever gets it will win." Yinhu was happy: "Good idea..."

While talking about idle talk, Minzhi suddenly thought of something: the mansion of the ninth and tenth brothers has already been built, why haven't they moved out yet? ""It's coming soon, it will be an auspicious day after the election, and there will be some excitement at that time." Minzhi pondered: "What about the congratulatory gift?" "Yinhu bowed her head and whispered in her ear: "I can't deliver what they want, the gift list is in the study, I'll bring it to you tomorrow..." Minzhi almost lost his breath: "The gift list? "Where in the world did anyone specify to ask for a gift? This is a blatant robbery!" "Those two should understand the difficulty of the master..." Yinhu was noncommittal: "The annual gift you entered made them miss..." Minzhi Black line, backwardness is backwardness. In modern times, this kind of thing is overwhelming in supermarkets, and it becomes a rare commodity here. Unfortunately, it is not possible to open a store now. The embarrassing identity of the bannerman is there. Thinking of this, Minzhi tentatively asked He said: "Aren't banner people allowed to do business? Yinhu frowned: "Haven't you already done business with restaurants and inns?" "It was handled by the slaves in Zhou Xiang's hands...it was just the exchange of goods..." Yinhu was taken aback: "What do you want?" "I just thought about it, there is no one who can take advantage of me now..."

Yinhu's voice became cold again: "What's the situation at home now?" Minzhi knew that someone had gritted his teeth again, and immediately comforted him: "The family is very good, and I am self-sufficient in food and use. I just want to Come on, no one thinks there is too much money." Yinhu put down the towel in his hand, and put his hands on Minzhi's shoulders: "This matter is not urgent, we will discuss it after the ninth and tenth brothers move out." Leng: "It turns out that the master has already thought about it... But I have too many things..."

Yinhu didn't speak, but just lifted her up from the chair with posture: "Okay, go to sleep, I will get up early tomorrow..." Minzhi responded without breaking free, letting someone push her all the way. Followed her into the inner room.Lying on the bed, Minzhi remembered: "Emiang's body is safe now, should I ask Huang Ama for grace to release her confinement?" Yinhu refused without thinking: "Emiang said she is so good. All right, besides, this matter has to be done by the imperial concubine, everything can be discussed after Huang Ama returns to the capital." After speaking, he turned his back to Minzhi and fell asleep.

Minzhi looked at the top of the bed but couldn't sleep no matter what, this summer was a bit hotter than usual, even after removing the screens on both sides, after the air convection, she still felt that what was blowing in was a gust of hot wind, and there was a big sun during the day , she can close the door and put ice cubes in the room to cool down, but at night, the ancients said that the night is as cold as water, how could it be so hot? Yinhu, who is peaceful and stable, has one more person, one more calorie, why the hell do you want to sleep here?I don't dare turn over when you are here!Minzhi felt resentful, touched her temples, her hands were sweating, she couldn't do it, it was too hot, but she couldn't do anything to ask someone to fan her, so she had to get up quietly by herself, and went outside to get the big cattail fan used by the mother , Lie down on the bed again, while shaking the fan, while forcing myself to meditate.

Yinhu, who was sleeping next to her, felt a cool breeze behind her in a daze, turned over, and leaned towards Minzhi. When Minzhi turned her head, she saw someone's head "over the mountains" onto her pillow !Immediately angry: You are chasing enjoyment in your dreams!The temperature around her suddenly rose, which made Minzhi extremely uncomfortable. She stepped back a few inches, and it was the first time that Minzhi had a close look at Yinhu's face. Her skin was as white as jade, and she became a good concubine. The beauty embryo, the 21-year-old Pianpian boy, Minzhi once again complained.The closed eyes concealed the look of the day, Minzhi recalled, there was very little joy in his eyes, more of a cold stare, just like a grass poking out of a crack in the roadside rocks, stubborn the narcissistic...

With a long sigh, Minzhi turned sideways and fanned him softly. If this person is still at the age of school in modern times, imagine that he must be extremely popular on campus, and there are girls chasing him everywhere. what.But here, he has already entered the office, beware of his colleagues, beware of his brother, and there is a moody father on top.Will you fly into the sky like I know, and then be slapped back to your original shape by Kangxi?Do you really want that position?Seeing him sleeping peacefully, looking like an ordinary little boy, Minzhi sighed again: Can I stay out of it?
