Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty

"Master Jin, Jin Moyan, is forty years old, four-year-old at home, the Manchu people in the capital have some ancestral property, they made marriages in the early years, but the funerals at home continued to keep filial piety, so they regretted the marriage. After that, they were busy with business and never got married. His wife is Chen Qishan Chen Wanshu, the prostitute daughter of Mr. Chen's Wufuwai family." Kangxi said solemnly.

"Three years ago, master, I went to Suzhou to do business. I went outside the city and went to the temple to ask for a marriage lottery. When I left, my wife entered the temple and offered incense to pray for my parents. I fell in love with you at first sight and sent someone to say goodbye. However, my wife and elders were not intrusive. After the matchmaker reported back, the beautiful woman went to the mansion to plead guilty. After much deliberation, the matchmaker came to the door to say that she wanted to marry her sincerely. The father-in-law agreed to the marriage a year later. He was married in October last year and when the late emperor passed away, he never took it with him Madame returns home, and now father-in-law is taking care of himself in his hometown in Suzhou, the master plans to bring his wife back to Suzhou to fulfill his filial piety by the two elders' side."

What Kangxi said seemed to be true, Chen Xiuming smiled and did not speak.

"I'm going to get up and walk slowly today. I'm afraid I won't have time to come out in a short time on 24 and 25." Kangxi pulled Chen Xiuming out, and when she wanted to break free, he held her tightly. "I'm a businessman. According to the rules, if you marry your wife at the age of [-], you will be very spoiled."

Seeing that Kangxi was not joking, and thinking that he must have spent a lot of thought to let him out of the palace, he obediently let him pull him out.There were two small sedan chairs standing in the yard, and beside them stood two women who were not dressed like ordinary servants. Kangxi didn't say anything and just led her to a sedan chair. He was lifted up by bearers.

Before getting on the sedan chair, Chen Xiuming didn't see a familiar maid or eunuch beside him. Kangxi probably changed the people around him because he was afraid that people would recognize the familiar faces, but he didn't know if these people would be the same as before. People generally use it to their heart's content.

After sitting in the sedan chair for a long time, she felt that the sedan chair had stopped, and the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted before Chen Xiuming saw that it should be in a courtyard of a Zhuangzi, and there were not many people in the courtyard. indivual.

After getting off the sedan chair, Kangxi only asked someone to take Chen Xiuming to rest and went to a room by himself, where Chen Xiuming drank tea and had some snacks.When putting down the teacup, Chen Xiuming noticed a person entered the room, and that person didn't invite him. Chen Xiuming thought it must be Kangxi who came, but when he looked up, he was stunned.

"Long live Lord?" The Kangxi who caught Chen Xiuming's eyes was not the one she was familiar with, to be precise, not the one she was familiar with now.

Kangxi's clothes have not been changed. As for the face, Chen Xiuming looked at it carefully and found that it is different from a few years ago, but it is very similar to a few years ago, but not exactly the same. What method should be used to make the face look like this? Variety.

"It's my master, why can't I remember?" Kangxi frowned, looking unhappy.

"Master." Chen Xiuming shouted obediently. She didn't intend to ask about the reason for Kangxi's change in appearance. When she wanted to know something, she would naturally say it. If she didn't want her to know, she would not let her know until the end of her life. she knows.

"Yes." Kangxi agreed, and then said: "Now go out of Zhuangzi and take a carriage."

Zhuangzi sat in an unremarkable carriage on the outside, but there was something special inside. Because of their physique, there was a thick layer of fox fur inside, making them warm and comfortable in the carriage.

It would take a long time to travel from the capital to Suzhou, and the speed of the group was not fast, and they rushed to the place when it was dark.This is a house in the town. The carriage entered the house directly from the main entrance and stopped in the inner courtyard.

"Here we are, let's get down." Kangxi said so, stepped on the stool and got out of the carriage, then turned around and stretched out his hand to hold Chen Xiuming.

Sitting in the carriage all day is also exhausting. The first thing I do when I enter the house is to have hot water bathed. Although the waiters are not often used, they are very careful and make up for this deficiency. Chen Xiu After brewing tea for a long time, he changed his clothes and sat on the stool with Kangxi.

After a while, the dishes were put on the table, most of them were fashionable and refreshing side dishes, there were only two kinds of meat dishes, and a stewed rice ball looked very appetizing.

When the dish is eaten, it is the deliciousness of the ingredients itself, which is different from the dishes that have been robbed of the original taste by the ingredients through many processes after eating in the palace for a long time. Chen Xiuming used two bowls of rice for this dish and appetite, and didn't stop until Kangxi put down his chopsticks.

After one night, he got on the carriage and headed for Suzhou. In ten days, he arrived in Tianjin from the capital. After all these days, he was tired from the journey and there were many familiar people.

On the seventh day, Li Dequan led Lan Chun to catch up. Only then did Chen Xiuming know how many people Kangxi had mobilized to get her out. When they came out, the person standing beside the sedan chair was also the person who replaced Lan Chun Li Dequan.

These people were cultivated by Kangxi with great difficulty. Lan Chun and Li Dequan only followed up at this time because they needed to explain carefully to ensure that everything was in order before they quickly set off on the road and caught up.

When he arrived in Tianjin, seeing Chen Xiuming's complexion looked a little bad, Kangxi decided to stay in Tianjin for a few more days. Except for the first and last days when he was resting in the house, Kangxi took Chen Xiuming out for a walk.

"Going out for a walk today?" Kangxi, who was drinking tea after breakfast, turned to ask Chen Xiuming.

"Master wants to go out?" Chen Xiuming kicked the question back to Kangxi.

Kangxi smiled as if he recognized what Chen Xiuming said, but no one else could know what he was thinking.

Chen Xiuming hasn't seen the street market in this era a few times. When she was in the boudoir, she didn't go out a few times because she wanted to maintain her health. Besides, she still couldn't go out in the street market often when she was still in the boudoir. Most of them went to Zhuangzi. when passing by.

Although there are not many Manchurians in Tianjin, some of them are dressed in Manchurian attires that are not very eye-catching. At this time, Chen Xiuming is already dressed as a woman, and Kangxi first took her to the jade shop to look at the jewelry.

Most of the good things in this jade shop are left behind, and Kangxi went straight up to the second floor skillfully. Just sitting on the chair, the waiter had already brought two cups of tea and put them on the table.

"Take a look at hairpins, hairpins, etc., and get some finger rings." The finger rings on Kangxi's thumbs were too conspicuous to wear outside for running. I plan to take another look here, and it just so happens that today I also want to buy some hairpins for Chen Xiuming.

Hearing this, the man stopped and stepped back, "Hey, you'll be here after drinking your tea first."

The tea from the Jade Ware Shop is already considered good, but the tea that can be bought outside is considered good, but the brew is not very good. The two of them only took a sip to moisten their mouths and did not move.Chen Xiuming didn't drink this kind of tea very much, but Kangxi was used to drinking tribute tea and felt that drinking this weak tea was better than plain water.

After a while, three guys came up with a tray on which there were many large and small boxes. The guys put the contents of the tray on the table and opened them one by one.

The two of them looked at the things in the box. The box was full of jewelry held by brocade, most of which were made of jade.

Standing next to it are three guys who came with things. If you can't see the craftsmanship or the quality of jade embedded in it, the guy standing by will explain it one by one.

It didn't take long for the two of them to look at things, a pearl hairpin, a suet jade finger puller, and a ruby ​​buyao that Kangxi looked good at.Bu Yao is made of pomegranates and butterflies. There are many small rubies in the hollow pomegranates, which look like pomegranate seeds. The butterflies are made of extremely thin gold wires. The wings of the butterflies will vibrate with a slight movement. This is a good meaning. step shake.

Ask the clerk to write down the things he likes, and Li Dequan leaves the silver for the clerk to deliver to the mansion, and after leaving the jade store, he goes to the next place.

The next place is the powder shop.

The lipstick Chen Xiuming used before was all made in the palace. Because of his status, the rules of the palace and his own habits, the colors used were mostly a little more elegant. Now Kangxi wants Chen Xiuming to use brighter colors. of.Seeing that Chen Xiuming still chose some of the same colors as usual, Kangxi directly chose two more colorful ones, and these two colors matched the previous Bu Yao very well.

Afterwards, I went to look at the cloth again, besides Chen Xiuming picked some Kangxi himself, he also picked a lot of materials, as before, let the staff send it to the mansion.

In the next few days, these cloths were turned into exquisite clothes by a few dexterous embroiderers. Later, when Kangxi visited Chen Qishan and his wife for the first time in Suzhou, he was amazed by the fact that Kangxi asked Chen Xiuming to wear them. one time.

Later, Kangxi took Chen Xiuming to a restaurant. Kangxi had asked someone to inquire about this restaurant before, and the location was not far from the jade shop.

The dishes served are also famous dishes in the restaurant, two cold dishes, four hot dishes and one soup, these are all famous dishes in Tianjin, the restaurant has existed for many years and the old man who is in charge of the spoon, how the food tastes depends on the two people eating It can be seen from the relaxed look, and finally rinsed his mouth with tea before taking Li Dequan and others who had dinner in another room back.

After eating, the two of them, both of them warmed up, went back to the mansion in a sedan chair. In the next few days, Kangxi took Chen Xiuming to many places.Most of the time, he only took Li Dequan and Lan Chun to eat at those unremarkable small stalls. Chen Xiuming followed Kangxi in the depths of an alley and ate the best buns so far.

The steamed stuffed bun maker is an old man, he should be about seventy years old, and the way and movements of making steamed stuffed buns can't be seen from a man with white hair at all.

The small steamed buns are very delicate in a small steamer. There are only eight small steamed buns in a basket, which are spread out limply on the bottom of the steamer. When the chopsticks are folded and lifted into the spoon, it seems that you can still see the sloshing soup inside.

The eating method and appearance are very similar to the soup dumpling, as if shrunk, there is a small hole in the middle of the eighteen pleats, which should be the unique idea of ​​​​the old man.
