Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

Counting from the beginning of spring, it has been two months since Sheng Jia led a large group of people southward.The time in Jinling was only more than ten days. He received the incumbent officials a few days ago, and met the local gentry in the middle days. Kangxi planned to visit the veteran officials in the next few days.

This kind of visit is to go to their home in person, Tian Mi feels that this kind of show is more of a factor.But I have to say that it is also an honor to have the emperor come to the door in person.It would be even better if they have some nephews or disciples who are promising. At this time, the emperor will definitely praise Jiangnan in order to show his grace to Jiangnan. .

The emperor came to the door in person, and had to issue rewards before leaving. For Tian Mi, who manages the House of Internal Affairs and is in charge of the royal purse, money is spent like running water. Tian Mi still has a solid foundation in the account of the House of Internal Affairs. Calculating now, the deficit should reach [-] silver.

Next, I have to go to Yangzhou, and from Yangzhou I have to go back to the capital. Every move along the way will cost money.Tian Mi couldn't help frowning, is it really necessary to take money from the treasury?

Whoever dares to withdraw money from the national treasury will bear the wrath of all the officials, this Lei Chitian honey dare not touch it.

Reminiscent of her ambition, determined to get something out of the emperor's internal funds, Tian Mi couldn't help but discuss with the emperor at night. "Now that I can't make ends meet, how much money does my cousin have? Take it out and use it first, and then I will make it up for you later."

The emperor really had money, which he inherited from the late emperor, and there are many good things from Mongolia in it.Tian Mi once suspected that the late emperor had pocketed the gold from his uncle's family. This was a completely groundless assumption, so Tian Mi didn't dare to speak out.

"I'll give you 50 first, and you have to beat the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the old and the young in the palace."

"Don't worry, cousin."

"We don't have much time in Jinling, and we can't go back empty-handed. You let people buy some things to go back to honor the ancestors, and also bring some for the children. No matter whether it is elder brother or princess, we must treat them equally."

"Needless to say, these have been bought a long time ago, not only for the elderly and children, but also for sisters, including those in several palaces."

The emperor nodded, satisfied.

This kind of thing is usually reminded by Herring, if Tian Mi is too busy, she can order someone to finish the matter before coming back to report to Tian Mi.

After the emperor left, Tian Mi couldn't help hugging Herring's waist, "Herring, you are so kind, what would I do if you weren't by my side?"

"Look at what you said, you are in charge of big things, and these small things can be done by the servants with just a few words, so why do you need to worry about it. And didn't it be agreed that the servants will serve you for the rest of your life, just like Su, who is beside the empress dowager Like Ma Lagu."

"I still feel that I have treated you badly."

"Everyone has his own destiny, slaves are born like this, so you don't need to say more. That shopkeeper Su... are you really relieved?"

"What is there to worry about? If she is capable, she will go to Nanyang. As long as she is still on the land of our Qing Dynasty, she will not be able to make waves."

Tian Mi and Ms. Su cooperated, and she gave Tian Mi the feeling that Ms. Su is a person with more thoughts.Tian Mi didn't know if she had so many minds to protect herself, or if she was already proficient in calculations.It's just that in this respect, she is a woman or a merchant, and she knows a little bit about the stakes and knows how to choose: whether to be greedy for the money or to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade.Anyone with a sane mind knows how to choose.

As of today, Tian Mi has achieved her goal of coming to Jiangnan.The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of only tea and silk, in addition to salt, which makes money.Salt and iron have been owned by the imperial court since ancient times, and Tian Mi separates public and private interests very clearly, so whether it is salt or iron, she does not touch it at all, for fear that she will not be able to eat sheep and will be beaten.

At this time in the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager opened a letter and asked someone to bring her tortoiseshell crystal mirror. She sat down in the corridor, put the letter paper away from her, and squinted for a while with her glasses on. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

"Wearing this thing is like suffering. My eyes hurt from staring. Forget it. I'm dazzled and I can't see clearly. Find someone who can read to me."

Aunt Su Ma had a maid serving her, and her maid knew how to read. She quietly went up to take the letter paper in her hand and read it out slowly.Tian Mi didn't know that there were eyes staring at her in the Shengjia's team, and all her actions, words and deeds had been written in a letter and reported to the Empress Dowager.

After the queen mother finished listening, she asked Aunt Su Ma to put away the letter paper. There were only two people in the corridor, the master and the servant. The queen mother couldn't help but sigh.

"Taking my conscience and saying that both the imperial concubines of their father and son are good, I have no choice but to say that they are not good."

"Gege," Aunt Su Ma called softly, "It's been so long, don't even think about it."

The old lady is getting older, and her favorite thing to do in recent years is to recall the past, and the one with the most pages is her son Emperor Shunzhi.During the short life of the son, the mother and son had many quarrels. Now that I think about it, if I endured it at the beginning, it will not be what it is now.

The old lady leaned on her chair and recalled Dong E, the favorite concubine of Emperor Shunzhi. Do you blame her? It was very wrong, and Fulin took seven points, patted his conscience and said that the big fault was not on her. Fulin himself said that his son is Prince Rong. If so, Xuanye Changning and his brothers Whose son is it? Where did it come from? It's a bit too much for him to be Ama's fool."

"Gege, don't be angry."

"After Dong E's gone, her Chengqian Palace with carved beams and painted buildings belonged to Tong's, and Tong's has now become an imperial concubine. She is qualified to be a queen in every word and deed, but... she will never be a queen in her life. "

Having said that, the old lady patted the old maid on the shoulder, "I asked you to sort out my things a while ago, have you sorted them out?"

"It has been cleaned up by people."

Earlier, the Empress Dowager had told Aunt Su Ma that she should prepare things when she was old, and that what should be left to the emperor should be left to the emperor, and what should be left to the prince should be left to the prince.Both the master and the servant were very open minded, so many old friends have gone to the embrace of Changshengtian, they are both lucky to have survived to this day.Even if he died the next moment, he would have no regrets.

Just prepare to classify the relics neatly in advance, and if it is too late to explain, prepare in advance so that you will not lose everything when you are dying.

"At the beginning, my aunt and my sister's dowry came into my hands. The dowry of the three of us plus the things I saved over the years was originally intended to be divided between Xuan Ye and Yin Reng, their father and son. You Later, someone will take out the dowries of the three of us, and if I return to the embrace of Changshengtian, I will leave these three dowries to Tong."

"This is a great grace for you."

"What a great grace! It's just that you can't eat or drink gold nuggets. My aunt and I are better off, but my sister didn't leave any good things. She is a second marriage. Although the dowry Horqin gave her has some fabric Dongzhu , but the fabric has decayed, and the oriental beads have turned yellow, so it’s useless to take them out. After all, this is something from the predecessors. Let’s clean it up together. Whether they want to use it or not is their business. .”

La Aunt Su Ma thought for a while, "Aren't you going to leave some for the Queen Mother?"

"Her temperament... She can't keep her, maybe she will be coaxed away by the elder brother Gege who was born to Concubine Yi and Defei in the future, Xuan Ye will naturally respect her now, and will serve her when he arrives at Yinfeng's place, There is no shortage of food or drink, so there is no need to leave so many things for her."

The empress dowager thought of another thing when she said this, "No matter what, the imperial concubine did a good job this time. Since she did a good job, she must be rewarded and given grace. Let people from her natal family come to the palace to accompany me. Let me talk, and I will reward them when the time comes, and we can't lose the Tong family."

The two wives of Tong's family entered the palace tremblingly, and they didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. When the two sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law arrived in front of the Palace of Compassion, they were very upset.Although some young eunuchs wanted to please them and said something to reassure them on the way, how could they be at ease before the dust settled.

Coincidentally, on the way, I ran into Ye Bilong's side Fujin, who was the biological mother of Empress Xiaozhao and Concubine Niu Hulu.This person entered the palace in the name of paying respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and the purpose was still to meet the imperial concubine.

The two parties met in this way, and it was really jealous when enemies met.

Ye Bilong's side Fujin is the emperor's mother-in-law, and the two wives of Tong's family are the emperor's aunts. Regardless of this relationship, Tong Guowei's concubine married Ye Bilong's concubine, and the two families are still in-laws. When we met a few years ago, we could still greet each other warmly.Now that really wants the other party to die!

The Tong family hated the other side for fabricating rumors that made them lose a girl for nothing, and the other side hated the Tong family for intervening in the battle for the title of Niu Hulu's family.

The two sides saw each other, and each of them smiled. This side Fujin's face was resentful at first, and then he suddenly laughed heartily, thinking what are you so proud of? Met two Mrs. Tong, haven't we seen each other for a long time? Don't you two often go to the palace?"

"Isn't that right, since your Seventh Lord inherited the title, you old man doesn't like to go out and walk around."

"Noble titles are things outside of the body, not as good as a family relationship. Oh, I won't talk to your sisters-in-law here. I should go to pay my respects to the noble concubine. This is her first child, and the birth was difficult. It took a lot of effort. Forgive me both~"

The two wives of the Tong family were poked with lung tubes at the same time, and their expressions of anger changed. This is not to show that your family has princes and grandchildren.What is there to show off?Our family has it sooner or later.

Mrs. Tong thought: "The family has sent two empresses, no matter what, one of them must be able to give birth to a prince."

Mrs. Tong Er thought: "My enemy's little ancestor is about to run to thirty, why has her stomach not moved? When I go back, I will ask Kelong to write to Jiangnan. So many people in Tong's family are in Jiangnan. , there is always someone who can talk to the empress. Let them urge the empress, if you don’t give birth, you will be old, little ancestor!!!”
