[Red House] Men's clothing

It is said that once the palace fight drama starts, it will be swords and swords that will hurt countless people. Situ Yue doesn't know if the old concubine had fought with others when she was young, but think about their sisters who are proud of the emperor's harem, relying on the help of a county magistrate My father couldn't do that.Up to now, among the concubines of the first emperor, she is the only one still alive, enjoying her old age in the harem detachedly.

The Empress and Concubine Zhen had already arrived, Situ Yue glanced at them, and there were a few young concubines behind them, he immediately stood up and said to the old concubine, "I will come to play with you tomorrow, we will go to Qing Dynasty tomorrow. Going boating on the wave pond, I think the hibiscus over there is blooming well, let someone pick one for you and wear it, and you will surely be magnificent."

"You little stalker, you're still so gorgeous, the old lady's teeth are almost gone."

"Beauties are beautiful in their bones, what's the matter with shutting your teeth?"

The old concubine covered her mouth and laughed.It just so happened that the two groups met in front of them. Both parties greeted the old concubine first. The old man was happy and didn't show his face. The servants carried the embroidered pier and put it down. Standing behind Concubine Zhen was Jia Yuanchun.Situ Yue looked at Jia Yuanchun with his eyes, and smiled, which was very obvious.

The old concubine noticed it immediately, and gave Situ Yue a push, "Jun Ming, hurry up and go find your grandfather, our group of girls are boring to talk, go and play chess with your grandfather."

The emperor's concubines who came to Nanyuan were all here, serious ones who wanted to avoid suspicion, Situ Yue readily agreed, and bid farewell gracefully.The old concubine looked at Jia Yuanchun a few more times with her eyes, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was. Jia Yuanchun was considered plump, which in the eyes of the old people was a good birth. She thought that Situ Yue had no one in the backyard now, and the entire palace would be too. No one knows the cold and the hot, and sincerely wants Jia Yuanchun to enter the Rong Palace.

Situ Yue went to the study in Nanyuan. The view here is wide, and you can overlook the Qingbo Pond and the Wuji Mountain in the distance. Although the sun shines directly in summer, the mountain wind blows like spring.

Cheng Ju, Situ Yue's head servant, stopped Situ Yue by a step. "Eunuch Zhu, who was next to the sixth king, told the slave just now that the emperor is angry now. He is kneeling at the top of the gate from the third king to the ninth king. Don't go up. It is said that it is because of the flood. Several counties."

Floods that flooded several counties must be a big deal. Since ancient times, water and fire have been merciless, but floods are firstly natural disasters and secondly man-made disasters. It seems that man-made disasters prevailed, otherwise the emperor would not have lifted all his sons to kneel.

"Have you heard of those counties?"

"I heard that the six counties under the rule of Yongzhou in the west of the Yangtze River were all flooded. Cheng Engong was the magistrate of Yongzhou in those days. fire."

No wonder, it turned out that the news came from the old man left behind by his grandfather's grandfather. Situ Yue didn't have the idea of ​​catching up with his uncles to be punished, so he took Cheng Ju back to his garden. There was nothing wrong in summer, and he was alone on the porch. After sitting for a while, I gradually felt sleepy, and lay on the couch alone and took a nap.

When I woke up, the sun was setting, and I was dizzy and couldn't tell the direction. I suddenly saw the brilliance of the courtyard and thought it was the rising sun. I slept so well, where is the breakfast?"

Yunxia covered her mouth and laughed, "My lord is sleepy, I'm going to have dinner now."

Situ took a closer look at the sun, and it was indeed evening, the western sky was full of red, and the clouds were trimmed with golden rims, which were the fire clouds. "Just put the rice here. Looking at the clouds makes me feel refreshed, and I can eat a few more mouthfuls of rice."

Yunxia smiled and went down to pass on the message, Qin Da came over, lifted her clothes and invited Ann, "My lord, I have something to get back to you."

Situ Yue washed his face, threw the handkerchief into the basin, and waved to the waiter who was carrying the basin. The waiter quickly took him away. Qin Da saw that there was no one around, so he dared to say in a low voice, "The matter It is clear that the 30 taels of silver allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs went to build the Yongzhou Canal, and the Ministry of War sent people to escort the silver to Jiangnan West Road for delivery. , After leaving 6000% ​​of the money, the money went to Yongzhou, Yongzhou withheld [-]% of the money, and only [-]% of the money went to various counties, and the counties withheld [-]% of the money. Judging from the bricks and stones purchased by various county governments, only [-] taels of silver were used on the embankment."

Situ Yue stared at Qin Da for a while, "The embankment was repaired at 6000 yuan, so the rain this year is not too heavy."

"That's right, under the rain this year, the peach blossom flood has passed. The Yongzhou Canal has a wide surface, and there are greedy inks in other counties, but they dare not be greedy for such big money. Therefore, the river passes through other counties without incident. Only Yongzhou, Because there are too few bricks and stones, the river cannot be blocked, and now it is like a country with no grass left."

"How many escaped?"

"The subordinates have drawn people's attention, because they were scrambling for their lives in all directions, and it is estimated that more than 2 people escaped."

"Damn."

Situ Yue calmed down, and said to Qin Da, "Please tell the brothers below to be careful. I guess, the dark guards will be dispatched soon. Don't let the pigeons come and go too frequently these few days."

When Situ Yue escaped with Qin Keqing and Cheng Yue, the crown prince indeed handed over his secret snobbery to Situ Yue. This was also the reason why she dared to take her younger brothers and sisters to the streets to beg every day. To win the emperor's sympathy, you don't have to worry about kidnappers and flowers, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking.Later, when Cheng Yue knew who his parents were and found Situ Yue, Situ Yue readily handed over the crown prince's power to Cheng Yue. This was also the reason why the emperor treated her differently from Qin Keqing.

Of course, she also took advantage of this convenience to build her own power, and strengthened this power by means of business. Her own financial resources continued to flow, and the economic source of the entire power was stable and reliable. In addition, her power was secretly blessed after becoming a king. Get the news more quickly.

Dinner was boring, so the kitchen specially made a bowl of hot and sour lotus root, biting hot and sour, salty, crispy and refreshing, and said to Yunxia, ​​"Give me a copy of the recipe, and I will take it to my grandfather tomorrow to honor him." old man."

The next day, Situ Yue went to Nanyuan early in the morning, gave the prescription to Liu Jinzi, and asked him quietly, "Is grandfather still angry?"

"No, little ancestor, don't come these few days. Whoever comes to the emperor scolds whoever comes. Last night, I was so scared that the twelfth master dared not speak. He almost couldn't hold his chopsticks, and the emperor scolded him." After a counseling meal, I sent him back to Empress Cui, so that Empress Cui can teach her son well."

Situ Yuexin said that Twelfth Uncle was only six years old, and if his father was eating with a dark face while his elder brothers were kneeling, he would be really happy if he still ate happily, so he gave the recipe to Liu Jinzi, "You ask the people in the imperial dining room to give it to you?" My grandfather tried to make it, and it was fine when I ate it. I thought that my grandfather’s taste was the same, so I honored him. I went boating with the old concubine, and I said yesterday that I picked lotus flowers for the old concubine to put in a vase.”

The whole Nanyuan was trembling, but the old concubine was safe and sound here. Two people, one old and one young, were taking the maids and maids to go boating on the Qingbo Pond. The bow of the boat is made of a curtain made of the seeds of a plant called sorghum. This kind of sorghum is edible. The seeds are very hard after drying. beautiful.This kind of seed is as warm and moist as jade when touched, and the ground powder is like bean flour, which makes Situ shout wonders.

"Your little family has never seen a lot of them. When I was young, I went to the countryside with my brother. Oh, I walked all the way and ate all the way. There is a kind of red fruit on the tree. I can't name it. It's so red. There is a sweet one, and I don’t know what it is, my brother lied to me that it is a fake watermelon, green, soft, and delicious to eat, and its vines are somewhat like watermelon seedlings.”

"Have you ever seen watermelon seedlings?"

"Why haven't I seen it? I have seen everything at that time. When your great-grandmother, that is, my sister, hadn't entered the palace, the ancestors of my natal family were cattle tenants. The young man of Yuan Wai's family gave lectures and herded cows for his grandfather while listening to them. Later, he learned thousands of words and passed them on to his son. His son then went to a shop in the town to work as a clerk for him. He worked hard, watched the counting house for a lifetime, passed this skill on to his son, and his son became the counting house for the owner. After four generations, my father, a Jinshi, married my mother, a girl from the scholar's family. Then my sister entered the palace, I still remember that time, the decree of the late emperor’s choice of concubine spread to the county, my father went to the countryside to preside over the spring farming, my sister carried me to buy vegetables, and met someone on the way to deliver the decree, actually It is to send a copy of the copied imperial decree to each county and send it to the county government. My sister is holding a fish in one hand and vegetables in the other, and she is carrying me on a cloth, watching it for a long time."

Hearing the history of a family's fortune, Situ Yue was moved with tears in his eyes.

"Then why haven't I met any relatives?" Situ Yue cut out the watermelon and asked the old concubine.

"Later, your great-grandmother became a queen, and I became a concubine. My parents were getting old, and my father had been a county magistrate all his life. He resigned after getting a duke of Cheng Engong and brought the young and old to the capital. It was because my nephews were able to study in the Imperial College, and it was also because I could see our sisters often. Later, my mother went there. After the filial piety, one of my nephews fought with someone in the Imperial College and was kicked out by the instructor. I know, he knew a female school secretary, because she got into a fight with someone, my father got angry, saying that his ancestors were the cow officials of the family, and now the ancestral graves are full of smoke, and the descendants don't think about it. It’s nothing more than being aggressive, but still so indiscreet, I took the whole family back to my hometown to support the coffin.”

The tears that the old lady said showed that she was more concerned about her father's return to his hometown.

"Then let grandfather summon them with an imperial decree, so that you will be comforted in your old age."

"Stupid child" the old concubine held Situ Yue's hand, "I am a concubine of the water poured out by my married daughter, how can I make my son-in-law work? Besides, your grandfather treated me like my sister , my father has long been reunited with my mother, and my brothers passed away a few years ago, and now the nephews are far away, what should I do if they come to me crying and complaining that living in the countryside is too hard and want to become an official?"
