The Story of Dafujin Parenting in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 2
After I left, my grandmother and my mother were discussing:
"Sabintu (meaning "Qi" in Manchu, the second brother of the heroine) is about to prepare for her marriage. The old man left and delayed for another year. After all, your father-in-law didn't see Sabintu get married and have children. Hey... .”

"What Er Niang said is that after the service is removed, it will be a good day to hire. The girl from Wang Yushi's family is also 19 this year. Yesterday, her Er Niang asked a nanny to inquire about this matter!"

"Oh? Her mother-in-law? Which girl did Wang Yushi continue to marry?"

"It's the eldest daughter of Mr. Li's family, Xiuzhuan (from the sixth grade) of the Imperial Academy. The marriage was completed in the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last. This summer, her son's full moon will be followed by our family, Er Niang."

"I remember, I remembered." Grandma put her hand on her forehead, "Look at my memory, this big family is thanks to you, your father-in-law told me before leaving, give Ke Kun (the heroine) Ma) It's the right thing for him to decide you. Although he doesn't say anything, he is satisfied with you in his heart.

After you came, our family’s children and grandchildren prospered, and Kerkun’s official fortune was prosperous. You are blessed. You have given birth to six good grandchildren for this old woman, all of whom are filial and sensible. The fifth girl is also good, she is beautiful and intelligent, and the backyard is also quiet. I am going out as an old woman. Those sisters are all envious of me.Let them be envious, it is a mediocrity not to be envied, haha! "Grandma smiled sincerely.

Er Niang was blushed by her grandmother's praise, and hurriedly served tea to cover it up. The mosquito voice said, "A daughter-in-law is not as good as Amma and Er Niang. These are all things that are a daughter-in-law's duty, and they are all taught by Ah Ma Er Niang."

The grandmother pointed to the mother-in-law and said to the nurse next to her, "Listen, listen, you have become a grandmother, so why be ashamed!"

Mammy brought tea to the old lady to moisten her throat.

Grandma calmed down when she said that Erniang was also a bachelor, only the blush on her face could tell her embarrassment just now.

"If you want me to tell you, our old master had eyes like pearls back then. The old lady of the Yiergenjueluo family was kind and tolerant, and she taught well. Our wife's brothers and sisters are all intelligent. Let's inquire all over Beijing. How many families are as harmonious as ours?

The old slave has very little knowledge, so I can't think of any words to describe it. What would the old lady think of? "Mammy teased the old lady, smiling all over her face and dancing.

"You old man will make me happy."

"Okay, is the second girl from the second family's family safe?" Grandma continued to ask.

"Please remember, the second brother and sister have passed the word that they are safe, and I will be able to greet you again in two years." Er Niang said respectfully.

"Well, please don't worry, the girl's body is precious, take good care of it, tell me what supplements you need, the fourth brother brought back the best red dates and white fungus at noon yesterday, you can take some back later, and give it to the second child's family Bring some too."

"Yes."

Grandma closed her eyes, "Is the boy from the second family still in good health? When will you pick him up and have a look?"

"Sturdy, the younger brother and sister have been looking forward to it for more than ten years, and they have taken care of them personally, and they don't give hands to others. Now they are nicknamed Brother Kang. After waiting for more than ten years, I can marry you a granddaughter-in-law again."

"Well. That's good, that's good. His aunt has been my master and servant for 20 years. She has served me since she was in Horqin. The second child has been raised under my knees since she was a child. I even took the name. Li Lafeng (Longevity) I can’t see him breaking the inheritance, and there won’t even be a person who holds the spirit and throws the basin in the future.” Grandma mentioned that the second uncle and aunt thought of the carefree girlhood, the grassland The horse gallops.

"Then Baixue is still safe?" Grandma looked straight at Erniang.

"Emiang, don't worry, Brother Kang is the son of the second sibling's direct relative, she knows it in her heart."

Baixue is his father's concubine and has one son, who is his father's seventh son.

Kangxi entered the mansion in four years.It is said that Er Niang met when she went out to inspect the industry.

At that time, Aunt Bai's family was desperate. Her father died of illness, leaving only orphans and widowed mothers. Misfortunes never come singly because her fiancé also died.

The other party thought that Aunt Bai was the one who ordered her to die, so she relentlessly targeted them and withheld money from the court to the bannerman, and their family was also kicked out by the aunt.

She sold Aunt Bai's dowry and rented a small house in the outskirts of the city. Even if she wanted to enter the palace as a maid, she was blocked by her fiancé's family and harassed by hooligans.The younger brother is still young.

The mother-in-law of Zhuangzi saw her pitifully, so she begged Erniang for protection.

Banner people are not allowed to be servants other than entering the palace as maids. If they are found out, they will be punished and the master's family will be implicated.Er Niang saw that she had good facial features, clear eyes, and could read a few words, so she gave her 100 silver and told Zhuangtou to protect her widowed mother and younger brother and hire Ama as a concubine.

Ask her not to have children after entering the mansion, and assist in managing the concubines in Ama's house.Taking the name of concubine as Er Niang's maid in charge, she agreed to take the sterilization pill. Aunt Bai took it without hesitation, kowtowed to Er Niang and went back with her.

In fact, this is not a sterilization drug, it should be said to be a low-grade version of the sterilization drug. After taking it, it is generally infertile for seven or eight years. Many mistresses will use it to deal with favored concubines.

Because Aunt Bai worked hard, Er Niang also helped her younger brother find a school, and the fees for Shuxiu (xiao) were handed over to the master by Er Niang's steward.This is also to prevent betrayal. Scholars value reputation. If even the person who provides you with school bites back, the reputation will basically be lost.In the end, Aunt Bai's younger brother was admitted as a scholar, and the family also has more than 20 acres of fertile land, and the days are getting more and more prosperous.

Facts have proved that Erniang has a good vision. Aunt Bai has been working hard and dare not slack off. After giving her another medicine in the mansion, she will die. If she is lucky, she will have children.Aunt Bai was blessed, and later gave birth to her seventh brother at the age of 36.

"After getting rid of the clothes, let the second child choose a formal name and go to the family tree. There are five girls, six girls, two girls in the second room, third girls in the third room, three elder brothers in the fourth room, and six-year-olds in each room. Brothers and sisters let their respective fathers choose their names, choose a few days, and open the ancestral hall for the family tree."

Funerals in this dynasty:

When the parents of those who entered the dynasty passed away, their children, wives and concubines had to mourn for 3 years, that is, 27 months.

When grandparents pass away, grandsons (and their wives and concubines) and granddaughters (those who are unmarried or return home after marriage) will be in mourning for one year, that is, nine months.

Unless the emperor seized his love, such a situation rarely occurred. The Qing Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety.Even if you seized your love due to special reasons at that time, failing to wear mourning will be a big stain on you, and the emperor will think you can't be trusted in the future.After all, how can he be expected to have a conscience even if he can ignore the kindness of his parents' upbringing?

Males from aristocratic families generally enter the genealogy at the age of six, and the infant mortality rate is high, and the mortality rate is greatly reduced after the age of six.

If the girls in the family have brothers or cousins, they can catch up when they are recorded in the genealogy. Generally, they will open a separate ancestral hall for women to record in the genealogy. In this era of many children and many blessings, most girls will Catch up.A very small number of girls in the eighth stage will also be entered in the genealogy before the draft, and the patriarch will report it uniformly.

The show girl is composed of Shenling, Zuoling, Xiaoqi School, Lingxuan and the patriarch, one by one, report to the Dutong, and then report to the household department, and the household department will report to the emperor, and the emperor approves when to choose to watch the show
