Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After bathing, it was already midnight, Fu Heng fell asleep, and Ying Luo lay on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy.In Fu Heng's affectionate affection, in front of his supreme intelligence, she is indeed a little woman!Thinking of him and her many years ago, I just feel extremely comfortable. Touching his beautiful eyebrows, I thought proudly: He is the best lover and husband in the world!

She thought for a while, but she still couldn't feel sleepy, so she got up and walked to the round table in the cubicle, lit the candles, and then admired the antiques that Fu Heng asked to send home this time.He has been ordering people to tidy up the things in Nalanzu's house, and then pick out some to take home.Because of Fu Heng's injury, she had to open the box to take a look until a few days ago.

The first one is a plain [-]-inch blue and white sunflower platter, all of which are blue and white, but Yingluo knows that this thing has a great origin.

The heart of the pan depicts two mandarin ducks swimming in the lotus pond, moving forward in the water, looking at each other, looking forward to the love, surrounded by lotus, lotus leaves, duckweed, water plants, swaying and full of interest.Lotus Pond Mandarin Duck Picture Genus, also known as Manchijiao, is a common pattern on Yuan blue and white porcelain.The inner wall is painted with nine groups of intertwining patterns, the small folding edge is painted with a circle of cursive patterns, and the outer wall is decorated with fretwork.

Shu Yuexiang's poem in the Southern Song Dynasty said "the dragonfly is curling up and the branch of the oyster", and the following self-note: "In the old days, flowers were worked...to make small lotus leaves, famous for Chijiao, and decorated with dragonflies, eggplant leaves, etc. floating on it." To In the Yuan Dynasty, because of the "spring water" hunting system in the Nabo, the Manchijiao pattern continued and developed, and the description of the lotus pond was more detailed and realistic, especially the weaving and embroidery patterns, as she had seen in the Yuan Dynasty "Brown ground embroidered jacket", the shoulders are decorated with lotus flowers, reeds, cattails, cattails, and lotus leaves, and the waterfowl have also changed from mandarin ducks to egrets and other birds.

Ke Jiusi, a famous painter in the Yuan Dynasty and a scholar of Kuizhangge University, said in "Fifteen Poems of Caotang Yaji Palace": "Looking at the lotus with Taiye panning orchids, emerald mandarin ducks playing with Bishao. Keep in mind when talking with Xiaowa, and embroidering on royal shirts It is Manchijiao." Note: "Most of the royal clothes in Tianlijian are small pond scenes, named Manchijiao." It can be seen that this pattern was mostly used in the clothing patterns of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty and the decorative patterns of porcelain.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Zhu had a piece titled "Jiang Shenzi Pillow Top", which described it in more detail: "Acacia flowers are all over the pool, and I draw them carefully. I pick them up with a few needles. The flowers are full of faces, and the leisurely leaves reflect the orchids. I stabbed both of the mandarin ducks. Flying wings, should be imagined, is ecstasy. Cleverly coiled with golden threads, embellished with red silk. Emerald green and enchanting. White jade skirts, several times falling down. Sweating pink and crying red is easy to lose (wan3), must be cherished, pity Xiao. "Its artistic conception is rendered extremely moving.

But this plate is so big, thick and heavy, because some Islamic countries use large plates to serve meals, and people sit around the plate on the floor and grab the food with their hands. Therefore, this kind of porcelain plate was originally a tableware specially made for West Asian countries in the Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, the big disc seemed to be shimmering under the slightly dim light, just like "mandarin ducks playing in the water" in the green grass pond. Yingluo smiled, looked at Bi Shachu, and remembered how she once taught pearls. Embroidery, the name of that embroidery is called "Spring Waves and Green Grass".

The second piece is a large three-color flower and bird vase in Xuande, Ming Dynasty.It has a round belly and thin neck, about two feet high.The painted bird is an ancient exotic bird with a long tail and delicate and distinct feathers on its wings, but its body shape is not similar to that of a phoenix.Although the color is duller than the Kangxi Su Sancai, the value is more expensive.Cui'er always said that she knew a lot, but in fact Fu Hengyuan was above her, she just became a monk halfway, Fu Heng was born as a son of a noble son, the younger brother of the queen, and he joined the palace to study with him since he was a child, and stayed by the emperor's side all year round No real good things can escape his eyes.Fu Heng likes Kuikou dishes and Huakou dishes, and Yingluo often laughs at Master Fu Heng as "wealthy".

The third piece is the "Pairing Chrysanthemum Picture Axis" by Shi Tao, a bitter melon monk.The picture shows a bamboo eaves hut with twin pine knots, the houses are scattered, and the seniors in the house watch the autumn chrysanthemums and point out "pairing chrysanthemums". In the courtyard, two servant boys are carrying a pot of big chrysanthemums.Outside the courtyard are winding mountains and the river approaching from far away. The courtyard is built in the mountains leaning against the river.This picture is different from Shi Tao's majestic, unrestrained, unrestrained and free and easy painting style. The depiction is neat and delicate, with slow or slow strokes and rhythmic vermilion dots and ink dots.

Shi Tao is a painter that Fu Heng likes very much. He is a descendant of the Nanming royal family. His "Plum and Bamboo Picture Scroll" and "Mohe Picture Scroll" still exist in Yujing Garden.She was recently facing the extremely complicated "Ink and Lotus Picture Axis", and Fu Heng said that she could practice various ink painting techniques in comparison.

She admired the three things for a long time, and felt that the treasures in Mingzhu's house were indeed different from other houses. Thinking of Mrs. Nalan's trust and friendship for her, she felt grateful.

The last piece is a mandarin fish pendant from the Yuan Dynasty.Mandarin fish is a homonym of "gui", which means "rich and rich".The pendant is carved with green and white jade round mandarin fish with perforations on the dorsal fin.The fish body is plump, the fish eyes are agile, and the gills seem to be Zhang Fei Zhang.The fish is wrapped with light vermilion lotus and lotus leaves, which is quite poetic and picturesque of "peach blossoms, flowing water and mandarin fish fat".Fu Heng said that he should also change the jade butterfly that has been pinned to his lapel.

So she looked at the jade butterfly that was lined up side by side on the table again. She didn't go out or wear it at home these days.This was given to him by Fu Heng on the night when the two got married in Chunshu Hutong.

That day, I gave Fu Heng the Warring States White Jade Dragon Pattern Pendant, which was a gift from the Queen Mother. Later, after I tied the knot, he hung it on his body all the time. It was the jade pendant he wore all year round, and he gave her the Warring States Qingbaiyu The hooked cloud pattern bracelet is white all over the body, and she also wears it all year round. The inner side is plain and has no patterns, and the outer hooked cloud pattern is the pattern on the jade pendant of Fu Heng that Hong Zhou pretended to be Fu Heng and wore on his body back then. The same is carved, and the surname "Fucha" is engraved on it.Yulezi was hidden by Wei Yingning and fell into Yingluo's hands, which caused a misunderstanding and indirectly brought Fu Heng and her together.That Jade Lezi is also a precious Warring States Qingbaiyu, but the color is blue.

The jade butterfly was given together at that time. Two butterflies with wings spread out in white jade engraving form a circle with their heads facing each other in the center of the circle. See, teach people to have a photographic memory.Fu Heng said that this was the first batch of jade pendants produced after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, named "Die Lian Hua", and they were hung up casually.So she stringed it under a bracelet of eighteen sons of green tourmaline among white pearls, and often pinned it on her lapel.Then she picked up the jade butterfly, smiled sweetly, and a gleam of light shot out of her eyes: it has extraordinary meaning...

Changchun | The pharmacy specializes in civilian business in the downtown area, and it is often overcrowded. The houses of princes and ministers in the capital will never set foot there. Except for Sang Yunduan and a few in the court, Hong Zhou knew the real truth as early as the Qingsu Yellow Sect rebellion. The owner is Fu Heng.Wu Deya taught people to pretend to take medicine to see it. He once laughed at Fu Heng and his wife for their tricks. They lost money and yelled. They coaxed the emperor to give a plaque without signing or stamping it. It was hung in the main hall, which was unprecedented.Later, when I finally found out that Rongrong often went to Changchun Pharmacy, I asked Duo Luo, who said that the old man had moved away, and she was bored at home after giving birth, and she didn’t like to socialize, so she went to Changchun Pharmacy to help, because she knew someone It's close to my Yamen.

Wu Deya didn't know what to do, so she told Hongzhou.Hong Zhou only smiled, and said: I never expected that Fu Heng, who has always claimed to be a gentleman and does not form a party, secretly wins over Doro. No wonder Doro was injured and sent to Changchun | If you dare to go too close, especially Doro, what will the emperor think?Apart from their official business, the two of them never even had dinner together in private. I have kindness to Lao Shu's family and Doro, so he won't do me any harm.Teach her not to worry.Wu Deya also taught Hong Zhou to get close to Hong Zhan, so as to close the relationship with the clan. Although the prince's Fujin had a good relationship with him, it was all superficial.

Hong Zhou only said: That's even more impossible.That's all you women's business.Not to mention that Hongzhan is a real brother, if I have a good relationship with the clan, the person above will feel uncomfortable, he knows all the people who often come to eat and have fun in the family, and I didn't hide it.It was only then that Wu Deya realized that Hongzhou's absurdity was intentional besides being unhappy.Haian listened to what Wu Deya said, and nodded. Although the prince did not talk to her about outside affairs, she knew that after Fu Heng became the chief military minister, Hong Zhou never mentioned the emperor to her again. She felt that the prince and the emperor were getting more and more ill. deeper.And Hong Zhou Mansion was as usual, full of people, full of guests, and staggering wine and chips.

Time flies, and a year has passed in a hurry, and it is the first month of the 28th year of Qianlong.

Aisha gave birth to her second son, but Lianhua Gyalpo's ninth floor has not yet been conquered. Pu Dawa studies it whenever she has time, and discusses it with Ye Tianshi, but she is not in a hurry.Gao Yun, Wei Mei, Rong Rong, Hu Jiajia, and Yi Boer each gave birth to a son.When the imperial concubine Ling was pregnant with the sixteenth elder brother, she was still taken by the emperor for another southern tour, and the sixteenth elder brother was raised by the noble concubine Ling herself.Yingluo gave birth to her youngest daughter, Yuan Yuan, who was named after Zhenniang, who was born out of Huqiu in Suzhou. She also has the same pronunciation as Zhen and the same tribe as Jiang, in order to thank Zhenzhu for her hard work.Aisha said with a smile that now it is her daughter Jingui, she always wants to have a daughter but can't.

Hailancha, with her family, came back from Yili at the end of last year to visit her mother for the New Year.He has been in Yili for many years, but he is not used to returning to Beijing.Xiang Xuan and Rui Dong each gave birth to a son and a daughter, so now he has three sons and two daughters, and his mother is extremely happy.The emperor was also very happy to see him. In addition to discussing official duties, he also asked him to enter the palace for a dinner with Fu Heng's family. He was also taken aback when he saw Xiang Xuan, although she was known to be quite similar to Mingyu.Yingluo was ordered to take Ruidong Xiangxuan to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion to kowtow to the former empress, and only said that the empress took good care of Hailancha in the early years.In front of Rong Yin's portrait, Yingluo said to her in her heart: Empress, you must be very happy that Mingyu is back to see you!

In addition to the Spring Garden, Aisha and his wife also invited the Hailancha family to their home for a lively day.Aisha and Xiang Xuan were quite close in Yili, because Xiang Xuan is hot-tempered and very hospitable. At that time, I heard from Yingluo that Aisha was actually very close. Later, Hailancha and Fu Heng went to southern Xinjiang for several months, and she did not like it. Dong and the Tie Pu couple also got along for a long time, and this time they had a good farewell relationship.

Aisha and Pudawa are still living in the capital, and they take care of Changchun for Aisha|The pharmacy and Pudawa went to the outer hall of Andingmen, and they moved to a house in Banchang Hutong outside Shenwumen that they bought. Fucha Mansion and Doro Mansion are very close to Mashen Temple Street.It is also convenient for Aisha to go out of Xizhimen to the Spring Palace of the Old Summer Palace.Yingluo wanted them to live in the Nalan family's old house in Shichahai, but the couple refused.

Caiyun entered the palace in the fifth year of Qianlong. Qianlong turned 18 years old in 25 years. Because of her poor family, she voluntarily stayed in the palace and became an aunt who taught the new maids. After Concubine Rong came, she was assigned to serve Concubine Rong. After discussing with his elder brother and asking the emperor for instructions, after Qianlong returned from the east tour in 25 years, he married her to a fourth-rank Manchu of Turdu's elder brother as his concubine.She didn't want to get married and wanted to serve Concubine Rong all the time, but Concubine Rong wanted her to have her own home, so she gave birth to a daughter, but she quietly told Concubine Rong that she couldn't say how much she "liked" her husband, so she probably Can't like men, only like my own children.

After she got married, she was promoted to be the female officer in charge of Concubine Rong's palace. When she first entered the palace during the daytime, she still served Concubine Rong in person, and was the foreman of the maids around Concubine Rong. She returned home at the end of the day and stayed overnight in the palace if necessary. The daughter stayed at home for a year, and then the family invited a wet nurse, and she returned to the palace to continue serving Concubine Rong.This is a special case that can only be opened by the people around the empress dowager and the concubine.

When Caiyun got married, because her parents had passed away long ago, Concubine Rong was very happy. Yong Qi and Haishi gave her 1000 taels of silver as a dowry. Shi generally has a good temper, and has a high status in front of her husband and mother-in-law, but she never mentions a word of the palace at home, and she doesn't allow her family to ask.Concubine Rong's two Hui maids are both under 25 years old, and they have been serving her all the time.

For the past year, the emperor lived in Yuanmingyuan.The Empress Dowager lived in Changchun Garden all the time, and sometimes went to Yuanmingyuan.So Yongqi's family also moved to live in Yuanmingyuan, still living in the backyard of Wuling Spring, but Yongxuan didn't want to leave the capital, so he still lived in Prince Lu's Mansion.Hong Zhou still lives in Iron Lion Alley.Fu Heng's family lived in Chunhe Garden.Doroin had to guard the emperor's safety at all times, and lived in a house in the House of Internal Affairs near the Old Summer Palace as usual.

In the "Danbo Tranquility" next to the spring scenery of Wuling, there are plots of acres, and the farming of chickens and millets is taken care of by the three female family members of Prince Rong's mansion. They directly supply the melons, vegetables, poultry and eggs in his mansion, and the queen mother often praises them.Yiboer is still sorting out the eight-line method scroll for Yongqi, compiling the "Jiaotong Yu Manuscript", recording the astronomical algorithm researched by the two.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Ling often accompany the queen mother to pay respects to the Buddha. The emperor will also accompany the queen mother to pay homage to the Buddha in various places in the Old Summer Palace, such as "Ciyun Puhu", "Yueyunyunju" and "Ritian Linyu". This is the convenient appearance.The square exterior is a two-story European-style small palace specially built by the emperor for Concubine Rong. The walls are veneered with marble engraved with fretwork patterns. Stairs to the second floor.Pines and cypresses are planted all over the garden, and there is a row of Western small squares on the corridor in front of the gate, on which flowers and vases are placed on the piers of the stairs.Although she was far away from the mosques in the capital, Concubine Rong could still worship in Fangwai, and this became Concubine Rong's exclusive place of worship.

The square exterior is located in the Western Landscape Garden in the Changchun Garden to the northeast of the Old Summer Palace.The Western Landscape Garden was built in the 12th year of Qianlong. It was designed by Western missionaries Castiglione Castiglione, Wang Zhicheng, Jiang Youren and others. The architecture, environment and style adopt the Western Baroque style, while the decorative details have an oriental charm. Wall, Fanghe, Xianfashan, Yuanyingguan, Haiyantang, Fangwai, Huanqiqu, Bird Cage, Water Storage Building, Thousand Flowers Array, Dashuifa, Guanshuifa and other fountains are all over the world. Exotic flowers and plants, its magnificence is peerless, unparalleled in the world, which makes people breathless.Yingluo and Fu Heng laughed again and said: Castiglione could never pass on the Western religion, but the completion of this garden is enough for him to be famous forever with the emperor.

There is a western-style octagonal pavilion outside the Southwest Bridge.There are three rooms on each floor of the small building, and semi-circular stone steps are built on both sides leading to the second floor. The gate and the steps of the stairs are made of bronze.The windows are also very unique. The second floor is rectangular and the first floor is oval, which is both beautiful and lively.The marble wall is engraved with the text of the Qur'an, and two round Arabic inscriptions are added, which mean: "Uthman loves Allah, and Allah loves Uthman" and "Ali loves Allah, and Allah loves Ali".Both Osman and Ali are one of the four heirs of the founder of Islam, Muhammad.

The eastern part of the small building is the line method wall, and Castiglione Castiglione and others painted the scenery of the prosperous market in the southern Xinjiang of Concubine Rong's hometown. The pictures change with the seasons, which is called "Aksu Ten Scenes".The emperor also found four imams (hong1) to accompany Concubine Rong to worship.Tur felt that it was really right to let Fatima enter the palace as a concubine back then. My sister has always been favored and is very happy for her.Every time Concubine Rong returned to the Provincial Fuguo Mansion, she would bring Fukang'an with her, so the Turdu couple naturally cherished this child.And every time she came back from Fuguo Duke's Mansion, Concubine Rong would bring Li Yu Desheng some gifts, such as small pieces of Hetian jade.

The author has something to say:

[Su Sancai] is fired on the unglazed plain body with three colors of green, yellow, and eggplant purple. It began in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty and continued to be fired in the Kangxi period.Yellow, green, and purple are the main colors, but they are not limited to these three colors, but red is not used.

[Shi Tao] Originally surnamed Zhu, first name Ruoji, native of Guilin, Guangxi, native of Fengyang, Anhui, small character Achang, and many nicknames, such as Dadizi, Qingxiang Old Man, Bitter Gourd Monk, Blind Venerable, Dharma names are Yuanji, Yuan Ji et al.Together with Hongren, Kun Can and Zhu Da, they are called "Four Monks in the Early Qing Dynasty".Shi Tao is the tenth grandson of Ming Jingjiang King Zhu Zanyi and the eldest son of Zhu Hengjia.At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, his father Zhu Hengjia tried to claim that he had failed in supervising the country and was executed by the king of Tang. Ruoji was rescued by the eunuch (Monk Hetao) and fled from Guilin to Quanzhou.

Shi Tao wandered all over the world and traveled all over the world. He lived in Jingting Mountain and Huangshan Mountain in Xuancheng, Anhui for about 10 years, made friends with painters, and later came to Jiangning (Nanjing).In his later years, he abandoned monks and became a professional painter.During the two southern tours in the 23rd year (1684) and 28th year (1689) of Kangxi, the holy ancestor of the Qing Dynasty received him twice in Nanjing and Yangzhou, presented poems and paintings, and called himself "the minister monk".Later, he went north to the capital, made friends with dignitaries and nobles, and painted for them.But in the end he was not allowed to be an official and returned to Nanjing.Finally, he settled in Yangzhou and made a living by selling paintings. A large number of works have been handed down, but there are also many fake works.

[Square Appearance] The Western Landscape Garden in the Old Summer Palace may be the most impressive impression of the Old Summer Palace, although there are only remnants of the ruins.Fang Fawai is one of the scenes, and its origin and history are as described in the article, including "Aksu Ten Scenes", which is the emotional testimony of Emperor Qianlong to Concubine Rong.Changchun Garden was originally the former site of Mingzhu Ziyiyuan, a scholar of Kangxi University. The Mingzhu family was the most prominent old noble family in the Qing Dynasty. Its influence is enduring and it has written glorious history.So it is completely understandable that the six young ladies of the Nalan family were so popular at that time.
