Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

It was only later that Gelai realized that she was like that every time she was pregnant, and she was very attached to Langka, but she was embarrassed to be like that later. After Sonomu was one year old, she directly called him Langka and removed the "elder brother" two words.Moreover, after Sonomu was one year old, Mrs. Tusi began to teach her how to be a housekeeper. She also had many things to do every day. Both of them became more and more busy, and children were born one after another.

Langka also found out, and she was actually pregnant all year round, so every night after he came back, Langka would completely accompany her and let her go... But no one knew that Langka loved his wife so much that even Mrs. Chieftain I don't know, the in-laws are just happy that she has given birth to so many healthy and beautiful children, and she is hardworking, capable and good-tempered.Because as soon as Langka came back, there would be only the two of them in the room.And Langka didn't like the two of them sticking together when there were people around. After all, they were the owners of the Lewuwei manor, and they were the de facto first couple in Jinchuan and even the entire Gyarong Tibet.It wasn't until this year that she knew that Langka did the same to Ajie back then.

She still remembered that Langka said at that time that he didn't like her disheveled clothes and begged Apa in public.That day, the old mothers finally told her because they were worried about Langka. She was very surprised and anxious, so she hurriedly put her coat on her pajamas and went.She still remembered that she was wearing a bright blue suit, her hair was not tied up and hung behind her head, and of course she didn't wear a turban, but she had to put on a satin gown, then a satin vest, and an outer coat The linen apron, layered on top of each other, with so many buttons, how could the clothes be disheveled... and the soldiers never looked directly at Sister and her. Sister said that they all had scruples and respect for Brother Langka.

Sister also taught her how to cook mutton.During that time, she often made it in the kitchen of the main building, because Brother Langka was kind to her, but she kept crying and felt embarrassed. Food, she really put in a lot of effort.At that time, the main building was often full of delicious fragrances, making people salivate, and even the old mothers were full of praise...

In fact, she should have understood that Langka liked her very much, otherwise how could he have brought her by his side every day at that time, and why she felt so happy with Langka for so many years, that is not love.But she didn't feel that way until Langka confessed to her this year.

Later, she told Langka that she liked to cling to him because she felt that Langka didn't really like her, and Langka was kind to her because he liked Ajie, and she had a child, so he felt guilty towards her .So she always gets pregnant, and when she gets pregnant, she wants to cling to him even more. She is really stupid!She also said that Langka actually gave her all the good things she had done to Sister Aisha, including the good things she had done to Aisha. She felt that she was very happy with three shares, so she was not unhappy or dissatisfied.But she didn't tell Langka, sister told her that no matter what, Langka must not be allowed to marry someone else... sister...

Then she looked at the flickering lights and laughed, because Langka always said that she would be prettier if she had a baby.Maybe what he said was right, of course she saw the mirror, but Langka said that because of sister, because of sister, he is very precious to the children.Because he left early and came back late, he couldn't see the children face to face every day, but after a few days, he went to the children's watchtower with her, and slept with five children on the same kang for one night. It was a lively event...

There was a stalemate inside and outside Ushi.The siege stopped, but the Muslims still closed the gates of the city and stayed inside, refusing to talk to the people in the court.Fu Heng discussed with Hailancha Agui and adopted the strategy of cutting off the grain and grass in the city and disrupting the farming of the Hui people, so as to force the Hui people to surrender, open the gate of the city, and write a note to the emperor to report the details.After going on like this for a month, the city fell into a situation where "food was exhausted, firewood was cut off, horses were killed and people were hungry", but the Hui people were extremely stubborn and resolutely refused to surrender. This matter was quite difficult.The emperor's instructions were also sent to Huijiang, asking Fu Heng to deal with Natonghai's civilian anger on charges of arbitrariness and incitement of war, and to deal with it with Hai Lancha. With zip.

According to the emperor's order, Fu Heng executed Natonghai in front of the battle. The generals in Kashgar were greatly shocked, and they all obeyed the order without any objection.Fu Heng then managed to buy off the merchant in the city, Ke Shabul Xi Labu Ahun, and captured 42 persons in charge, including Ersemutula, before the city gate was opened.

Ese Mutula is the father of the insurgents Lai and Mutula. Fu Heng interrogated him for the cause of the rebellion and said that he would make decisions for them.Ersemutula told Fu Heng that Sucheng was greedy for money and lustful, and his son was even worse. When he met a Muslim woman with a little beauty, he would call him to the official office without asking anyone. He rewarded his family for insult|humiliation, thought it was a joke, and was sometimes imprisoned for a month before being released. The Wushi Hui people had long wanted to peel his skin and eat his flesh!Lai and Mutula's wives were forced to stay in the government office by Sucheng and suffered humiliation.

Fu Heng was shocked when he heard that Sucheng, as a military and political official, had such low moral character, despicable behavior, and heinous crimes. Not to mention the court didn't know about it, even the people in Ili and Kashgar didn't know about it.

Ersemutura said that one month ago, Sucheng and Aqimbuk Abdullah sent 240 Muslim servants to transport the saplings to Beijing because the emperor favored Concubine Rong. Cheng’s son wanted to return to Beijing, so he forced servants to deliver his luggage, and sent Bokerai and Mutula to escort him. One day before the departure, Lai and Mutula, who were ordered to go on a business trip, did not know where they were going to send them to Abdullah. Abdullah asked for instructions, but Abdullah thought he was reckless and very angry, so he didn't tell him and gave him dozens of lashes.Lai and Mutula asked Yinfang Zhangjing for instructions, and the other party also thought he was reckless, and he blamed the [-]th board. This made the Muslim group suspicious and resentful because of grievances, and triggered the long-standing bullying | humiliation of Muslims. Because of the resentment, Lai and Mutula called together all the officers who transported the palm trees that night to discuss and decided to resist.After the incident, the Muslims in the city responded one after another, united as one, never surrendered, vowed to fight to the last moment, and would rather die than suffer such humiliation again.

After hearing this, Fu Heng felt very heavy. Three days later, he decided to send Esek Mutula and [-] rebel Muslims, women and children, a total of more than [-] people, to be sent to Yili and Urumqi for farming.Hai Lancha was very worried, saying that it would be very troublesome for him to release the principal of the rebellion without the emperor's approval.Fu Heng only said that he would be fully responsible for the consequences, and asked Hai Lancha to pretend he didn't know about it, and asked him to go back and tell everyone in Yili that he would arrange the aftermath here and wait for the imperial edict.After the emperor saw Fu Heng's killing first and playing later, he only told him to return to Beijing immediately, and the aftermath of Wushi was first handed over to Agui Zhaohui and Hai Lancha.So Fu Heng returned to Yili, ready to leave for Beijing.

Yingluo was very happy to see Fu Heng come back safely. He saw that Yingluo's abdomen was swollen, and he realized that the child was six months old, and they had been in Huijiang for three months.The day before leaving, the General's Mansion practiced for everyone, Zhaohui and Agui both came to attend.After the banquet, Fu Heng and Zhao Hui went to the study and talked for a long time. Zhao Hui and the other three were worried about Fu Heng, saying that although the emperor didn't say anything, he ordered Fu Heng to return to Beijing immediately, which meant to blame him. Tell Fu Heng to be careful.

Fu Heng comforted the three of them, saying that the emperor would not do anything to him, and it was worth it to exchange the lives of more than a thousand people.Zhaohui and Agui admired each other very much, and they both said that they should express their feelings to the emperor, but Fu Heng taught them not to do this. Not only would it not help themselves, but it would be counterproductive, and it would also hurt the two of them.After Zhao Hui and the others left, Fu Heng asked Hai Lancha again to make sure he hadn't told Yingluo anything, so he was relieved.On the second day, he led the people on their way home.

In June, as a result of the draft, Debao's daughter-in-law entered the palace and taught her how to behave as a concubine. Both the Debao family and the Yilu family knew that this was the emperor's reward for the Debao family.In July, Yong Pei welcomed A Pei through the door.

Hu Jiajia was confinement and took her daughter back to Prince Rong's mansion.Yong Qi personally picked up their mother and daughter back, and stayed with them for two whole days before going back to the Yamen.Hu Jiajia was very happy, and Mammy Cao also felt that the master had suffered so much, Hu Jiajia just smiled and said: I am not suffering at all, I am much better than Mammy.Grandma Cao said: Master, you are thinking of everyone, so you can be today. People like elder brother will be moved by you sooner or later.Hu Jiajia said: I am very grateful to my elder brother. I have Zhe Zhe, and I have nothing more to ask for.Grandma Cao said: Brother, I finally put my heart on you now, and you are almost... Don't be generous, you must take care of your body and have a son.Hu Jiajia's complexion was still pale, and he only smiled.

The day before Qixi Festival, the imperial decree came to Prince Rong's mansion, awarding Qingfeng from the House of Internal Affairs to the fifth elder brother Yongqi.The whole family is very happy.On the second day, Yiboer went to Yujing Garden to tell Haishi, and then went to the Yamen to have lunch with Yongqi to celebrate the event.Yong Qi then took her to a secluded small restaurant, closed the door, and told Concubine Rong that Huang Ama also rewarded Qingrui as the fourth elder brother at the same time, Yi Boer laughed and said: "What does the emperor mean?"Is a bowl of water level?

Yong Qi also nodded with a smile, and said: "Jun'er, now that you have something to do, you don't have to stay with me all the time."Yiboer laughed and said: You are Yun'er's master, how can Yun'er not come to serve you?Yong Qi leaned into her ear and said: You are Yong Qi's master, I will go home tonight.Yiboer blushed, but his eyes were very excited, and said: "Jun'er is waiting for elder brother!"Yong Qi held her in his arms, and they kissed for a while.

In the evening, Yongqi was about to leave the household department when Doro came to him.Duo Luo knelt down to salute him first, congratulated him, he smiled and helped him up, saying: Your Excellency does not need to perform such a great salute.Doro said: "Fifth elder brother, I have something to say to you."Yongqi saw that he was very solemn, so she took him to the room where she lived, closed the door, and told him to sit down.Duo Luo sat down and said: "The emperor wants the servant to ensure your safety. You and Ge Ge went out for lunch at noon today. They told me, brother, don't choose such a secluded place, for fear of mistakes."

Seeing that he came here for this matter, Yongqi smiled and said: I usually like to be quiet, but I understand that you have an errand, I know, I will not teach you how to do it.Duo Luo said: Fifth elder brother, I know that you keep a low profile. The servant's errand is a trivial matter, but your safety is the most important thing.Yong Qi said: Don't worry about Huang Ama and Concubine Rong's place.Duo Luo shook his head and said: "Fifth elder brother, the slaves are not only for the emperor and Concubine Rong."Yongqi looked at him, and Doro said: Master Fu Heng and Mrs. Nalan...

Yongqi suddenly understood that Duo Luo and Fu Heng and his wife were close, but it was inconvenient for him to say so, so he said: I understand.Duo Luo said again: "Your Excellency and Madam are far away in the northwest. I don't know that the servant has taken the job now. It is the servant who saw that you went to Yujing Garden recently, and Gege often goes to Yujing Garden."Yong Qi nodded and said, "Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Yongqi went back to the palace, and He Zhu immediately prepared a sumptuous dinner after hearing Ybor's return in the afternoon. After the four of them had dinner, Yongqi followed Hu Jiajia to see her daughter, and then went to Ibol's courtyard.

In the east part of the main room of Tianyou Pavilion in the back building of the middle road, He Zhu was about to go to bed, when Tao Nanny saw Yong Qi coming in, she was both surprised and happy.He Zhu also hurriedly got out of bed, and said, "I think my elder brother...Yong Qi only smiled and signaled He Zhu to change her clothes."After changing clothes, He Zhu leaned into his arms and said, "I'm so happy, my concubine!"

Yong Qi put her arms around her and said: "You worked hard when Zhe Zhe was born. Nuo Da's palace is busy enough for you. You take good care of the vegetable garden. All the dishes I like are cooked tonight, thank you!"Unspeakably happy in He Zhu's heart, he said: Serving elder brother is the most important thing. The concubine also likes the vegetable garden. Elder brother does not treat the concubine poorly because of the Xilin family's mistakes. The concubine should thank elder brother.Yong Qi said softly: Your surname is Aixinjueluo now, and you are the hostess of Prince Rong's Mansion.

He Zhu smiled, and La Yongqi went to the round table to show him the rewards from the palace that he received yesterday.Yongqi saw three rolls of yellow kudzu yarn for summer clothing, one piece of brocade with golden walnut pattern woven on white ground, one piece of serge with colorful ocean pattern, one piece of beige ocean pattern Jinbao brocade, and one piece of royal blue satin with cockfighting pattern.And a box of ink cubes, paper and pens, etc. inscribed by the emperor.He Zhu said: The father-in-law from the palace said that the fourth prince's house is the same.I was thinking of Serge as a cushion, Guangduan to cut clothes for the three of us, and the other two, 'Huihui Jinjin' for Xiao Gege, and Jinbaodi for Hu Gege, what do you think?

Yongqi sees that the golden walnut brocade brocade is luxurious and distinctive. The royal blue one is woven with white, snow green, crimson, rose purple, fruit green, golden and other colored velvet silks as patterns. The main pattern is two fighting each other. The rooster, supplemented by diamond-shaped flower patterns, is vivid and natural, and also has a strong Lingnan folk style. He smiled: You can decide for yourself. I think there are so many of those two horses, and they can’t use them. Huihui Jinjin was chosen by Concubine Rong. Well, you still have to keep some for yourself.He Zhu nodded happily.

There was also a big red feather gauze raincoat, which the Ministry of Internal Affairs said was due for a new one.Feather has the effect of waterproofing. Feather yarn feels rough to the touch, but after calendering, rainwater falls on it and it can slide off naturally without soaking in. It is an advanced material for making rainwear, with good waterproof performance and light weight.This raincoat is made of plain weave with one warp and one weft, which is dense and uniform.The warp thread is bright red, and the weft thread is red and white. There are water ripples and cloud patterns on the surface. The raised water ripples are calendered after weaving. With the contrast of white threads, it looks like colorful clouds in the sky and waves in the sea.

Before falling asleep, He Zhu said again: Little Gege won't be unhappy, right?She often goes to have lunch with elder brother, it is rare for you to come back, and it is a holiday, but you come to me.Since Jiajia gave birth to a daughter, the relationship between He Zhu and Yi Boer has become closer. Yi Boer himself told He Zhu that he often visited Yong Qi in the yamen, and they were all men disguised as women.Only then did He Zhu understand why she always went out without bringing Nanny Pan, and taught her to bring Yong Qi a change of clothes and daily necessities.

At that time, I thought about it for a few days, because there were a lot of things about the prince's children wandering around outside, I heard from time to time that Yongqi had been living in the yamen and came home seldom, and I also suspected that she and Yongqi were having a good time outside, so I couldn't help being frightened, what would I do? Explain to the queen mother and concubine.I want to be admonished, but I also think about Yongqi's gentleman character, how can I teach Ibor to be a man in the yamen? He is very diligent in his daily affairs, and he is the prince's respect, so he doesn't have to give in. Ibol also has a lot of status Miss Qianjin is also Yong Qi's concubine, she is definitely not a wild flower, why bother to be like this, Yong Qi can go home, but she is too worried and doesn't mention it to anyone.

I only heard Yong Qi say: I will be back in a few days.Then fell asleep.Today is Qixi Festival, and He Zhu knew that Yong Qi must have come here after begging with Ibor in the west courtyard, but thinking about the long-lost intimacy with Yong Qi just now, looking at her husband's handsome and peaceful sleeping face, he said his surname Aixinjueluo, the indescribable sweetness in his heart, did not close his eyes until he was too sleepy.

The author has something to say:

[Tibetan Marriage System No. [-]] The classes and stratifications of Tibetan society include nobles, [chaba] and duiqiong (the latter two are classified as serfs in domestic research).Chaba is a "taxpayer" (taxpayer), while Duiqiong is a "small household" (s.householder).Chaba belongs to a family with a surname, and can obtain the right to use a piece of farmland with a considerable scale from the manor owner from generation to generation through hereditary methods.On the one hand, as long as Tsaba fulfills the responsibilities due to the manor owner (in the form of physical objects, money, labor, etc., for example, they must raise many draft animals for the manor owner’s expropriation), his family can keep the land; On the one hand, he is bound to this land and cannot leave.

Heaps can be divided into two categories.The first category is tied to a piece of land like Chaba, but the scale of the land is small, and it is assumed by [individual name], unlike Chaba, which is borne by [family name], and the offspring cannot inherit it. Provide labor services to the manor owner. The apportionment of poor labor is calculated based on the number of laborers. Every three adult laborers with this responsibility form a "gang", and this "gang" must send one laborer as the lord every day labor.The second type of heap poor has no land at all and can move freely, but still has its own lord, and must pay taxes to the lord.Many of them rent the land to plant the tsaba and work for the tsaba in return.

This system is the serf system, and many countries in South America also have similar serf systems. [The native soldiers in the novel can be regarded as Chaba class. Their female family members also serve the manor owner’s family, and there are a lot of poor in their own family to serve him. 】The coexistence of multiple marriage systems in Tibet is directly related to the Chaba system.In Tibetan non-monogamous marriages, "the most common arrangement is the Sasum, which is a unit of three spouses, whether two women and one man, or more commonly two men A female", the fundamental reason is that the chaba is hereditary in the name of the family, and the land and property cannot be dispersed.

If the nobles were not monogamous, they were polygamous, as mentioned in the previous section.Since Duiqiong counted the land used and labor labor paid by individuals rather than families, the importance of maintaining the family's hereditary rights and property to the "poor land" to pay for various labor labors was greatly reduced.Therefore, in poor families, not only brothers get married and live separately, but adult sons often live separately from their parents after marriage.Duipo is the main body of rural Tibetans. Because of the above-mentioned economic system, they are generally monogamous, so monogamy is the main body of Tibetan marriages.

Tibetans have very strict restrictions when choosing a spouse, and they must choose among people who are not related by blood.They are (on average) related to 65% of their fellow villagers, so the vast majority of Tibetans have to go to other villages to find women or spouses.When a marriage is established, the families of the two parties become a "alliance" relationship, and people usually marry the offspring of the two families to strengthen this relationship.However, the Tibetan "exogamy" (exogamy) completely prohibits this kind of "kissing and kissing" based on blood relationship.Anyone who is related by blood is strictly excluded from the choice of spouse, and anyone who is not related by blood is included in the range of possible spouses.

[The above content is adapted from Ma Rong's "On the Tibetan "polyandry" marriage".The background of the marriage between Langka and Gelai sisters set in the novel is based on the above, but of course it is not an economic consideration, and it has nothing to do with recruiting. It is based on his background, status and power, and Gelai's beauty. family to protect her. 】
