The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

In the palace, in the imperial garden, Qiqige wears a straw hat and weeds the crops.

The sun seemed to be roasting people, Aruna brought herbal tea, asked Qiqige to rest for a while, and drink some water to quench her thirst.

Qiqige wiped off the dirt from her hands, and the maid brought a basin and towel to help her wash her hands.

Even though she has been in the palace for many years, Qiqige still couldn't help feeling emotional when she saw such a situation.It is a luxury for her to grow a la carte and have someone serve her.

The emperor's concubines were wandering in the imperial garden, and they saw the queen mother coming to salute and say hello one after another.

Qiqige chatted with them kindly and patiently, and they didn't break up until almost lunch time.

The concubines went back to eat, Aruna moved Qiqige's lunch to the imperial garden, and ate under the loofah stand next to the small vegetable garden.

Today's meals are very rich, including chicken, duck and fish, only two dishes of vegetarian stir-fried side dishes and one soup are vegetarian.

Aruna couldn't help complaining when helping Qiqige with rice, "In such a hot weather, you still want to eat these greasy foods, which are not easy to digest."

Qiqige is always justified, "I have to work today, so I have to eat some hard vegetables to replenish my body, otherwise I will not have the energy to work in the afternoon!"

Aruna shook her head helplessly and sighed, and put a bowl of soup by Qiqige's hand.

Just as Qiqige was about to eat, the three princesses and two elder brothers came over.

The third princess jumped up and ran to Qiqige's side, "Grandmother, it seems that we came at the right time!"

Qiqige quickly covered her rice bowl, "I don't have much food left, you should go elsewhere!"

The second princess smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma, we don't eat much."

Eldest princess: "And there are meat dishes on the table. If you eat to fight hunger, you can share one share."

Several children were sitting at the table with smiles, Aruna watched them joke with Qiqige, and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to add some dishes and fetch tableware.

The eldest princess stopped Aruna, "Don't be busy, aunt, we just deliberately teased grandma! We brought food over, and the maid immediately brought the food box over."

Qiqige thumped her, "Stinky girl! You actually learned how to entertain me!"

The maids of the princess brothers quickly brought the food, and the dishes on the table were full.

Qiqige asked: "It's not too early or too late, why did you go back to the palace?"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "The construction has already started. There are people watching from below, so we don't have to worry too much. We have been busy for a long time, so we will come back early today to take a rest."

Qiqige nodded, she filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Third Elder Brother.

"Come on, drink more soup to calm down the shock. You were hijacked last time. You should take a good rest in the palace for a few days."

The third elder brother pushed the soup away with his mouth flattened, "Grandmother don't mention this matter, it's embarrassing."

He is an elder brother who has learned to ride and shoot Buku since he was a child, and he is actually a hostage. This is too shameful, and he wishes everyone would forget about it.

Qiqige followed him and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Let me tell you an interesting story that happened in the palace. I made two clothes for the elder brother and the third elder brother a few days ago. People don’t know where they saw it, but everyone is wearing this kind of clothes.”

Eldest Brother froze, holding the rice bowl to pick up the rice, wishing he could bury his head in the bowl.

The three princesses and the third elder brother looked at the elder brother meaningfully.

Qiqige didn't notice the children's eye contact. He continued: "It's fine to wear this kind of clothes. They all carry something like a bow and arrow on their shoulders."

Qiqige made a gesture, "It looks like a bow, but there are no arrows. The bow is wrapped with ribbons and tied with various silk flowers. To be honest, it looks beautiful, but it's too strange! The young concubine now! What a shame! People don't understand!"

The eldest princess glanced at the elder brother, smiled and gave Qiqige popular science trends in the capital.

"Now it's popular in the capital to wear it like this. The inside of the clothes is made of high-quality silk and satin, and there is a layer of gauze on the outside. It looks like a fairy. As for the thing on the shoulder, it is indeed a bow. At first, everyone carried it. A real bow is a bowstring made of high-quality beef tendon, but this kind of bow doesn’t match the clothes on your body! So everyone beautifies the bow and wraps it with some decorations.”

The second princess added: "Usually, silk is wrapped around the bow, and some silk flowers are tied. Some people change the string of the bow and replace it with strings of pearls, which looks better."

Qiqige sighed: "It really can spoil things, who thought of this?"

Everyone looked at Eldest Brother together, and the third princess laughed and said, "This matter was caused by Eldest Brother!"

The third princess stepped back and told the story of the elder brother wearing a women's costume and bending his bow to save people.

"In this way, everyone remembers the heroic appearance of elder brother. I don't know how many romantic and talented people in the capital are fascinated by elder brother."

The elder brother put on a sullen face, pretending to be a dignified elder brother, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The third elder brother smiled and said: "She is not talking nonsense, the eldest brother is the one who leads the trend!"

The three princesses attacked the third elder brother indiscriminately, "When it comes to leading the trend, you don't give up too much! Now many people like to wear moon-white clothes, and the price of moon-white fabrics has increased accordingly. Everyone likes you being kidnapped." The cowardly and cowardly attitude at that time."

The second princess was on the sidelines, "Third brother, the three of us are too strong, so no one welcomes you. When you are free, come and teach us how to be cowardly, okay?"

Brother Three: I can't swear at this time and here, I can only be silent.

Qiqige was also surprised by the two fashion trendsetters who were dressed as women. She was the time-traveling woman, and she didn't stand at the pinnacle of fashion. These two boys did it.

Qiqige praised sincerely from the bottom of her heart: "You two are great!"

Big Brother and Three Brothers: I don't want such compliments.

The eldest brother was so ashamed that he almost got under the table. He changed the subject, hoping that everyone's attention would be diverted from himself.

"Grandmother, I estimate that the projects on both sides will be completed in more than 20 days. When the projects are completed, should the sisters hold a banquet to thank those who donated money?"

Qiqige said: "Yes! This is a very important matter!"

The elder brother said: "It's better to do it grandly, so that those who donate money will feel that they have face. Then they will donate money continuously, so as to support the subsequent projects."

Speaking of business, the eldest princess is much more serious.

She nodded and said: "I think so too. This banquet must be bigger so that people in the whole capital can see it. I have another idea. I don't know if it will be possible. Please help the emperor's grandmother and sisters and brothers." I will refer to the details."

Qiqige smiled and said, "Just say it."

The eldest princess took a deep breath, "There is still some money left from the charity raised this time, and I want to use some of it to do business."

The third elder brother immediately objected, "This is not allowed! There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If you embezzle charitable funds, it will hinder your reputation."

Several other people also showed disapproval, and the eldest princess continued: "I embezzled charity funds and will notify the donors."

Qiqige shook her head and sighed: "Most of the donors are rich people. They have money in their hands, no less than three or five hundred taels of silver. But it is okay to use the money to do good deeds, but it is not good to use it for business. Business, why don't they manage it themselves?"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "I have thought about what the imperial grandmother said. I think it is too difficult to raise money, and asking for money from others makes me feel very uncomfortable. I think it is possible to build a yamen, or set up a In a place like a guild hall, anyone who wants to donate money to do good deeds can bring the money to me. I will use the money to go out to run the business, and the profits generated will be used to do good deeds. In this way, even if the good-hearted people don’t want to After donating money, we still have silver to do good deeds.”

Qiqige suddenly said, "I understand what you mean."

The eldest princess smiled and said: "Now the official wife and the rich lady do good deeds just by sending people to spread some money to the beggars. If you don't mind the trouble, you can set up a porridge shed and give a bowl of thin porridge. With my guild hall, everyone will do good deeds in the future." You can give me all the money, and I will handle it for them."

Qiqige nodded happily, "This is a good idea, but you must pay attention to that all accounts must be made public. Once there is money embezzlement, you will lose your prestige, and everyone will no longer be willing to donate money to you in the future."

The eldest princess said: "I just have a little idea, how to do it, wait until the two roads are repaired. Grandmother, I plan to hold a banquet outside the palace, I will send you a post, and you can also go to have a fun day, okay?" ?”

Qiqige refused to go, "My status is too high, everyone will be in awe when I go, and I will steal your limelight."

The princess brothers persuaded, hoping that Qiqige would appreciate it.

Qiqige refused in every possible way, "I can't do anything, you are the ones who really do things, and you are the protagonists."

Qiqige put her arms around the shoulders of the eldest princess and the second princess, "I know you have paid a lot for this day, and when that day comes, all the glory should belong to you!"

The eyes of the three princesses were red. Only they knew how difficult the journey was.

After dinner, Qiqige continued weeding, and the princesses went back to rest.

The three princesses were praised by the imperial grandmother, and now they are a little excited.

The third princess showed off to the elder brother and the third elder brother sullenly, "See, the three of us are the most important thing to the imperial grandmother!"

The second princess said: "As long as we are here, you will be the foil."

The third elder brother wrinkled his nose in anger, "Isn't it just that the emperor's grandmother praised a few words! Look at you crazy!"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "We really have nothing to be proud of, it's just that we are more loved by grandma than you. Oh, don't be angry, there is nothing you can do about it. To be honest, we are indeed more efficient than you when we go out to do things."

The second princess echoed: "Yes! Eldest sister has come up with such a good idea, and it will be much easier to raise money for charity in the future! You can't think of such an approach!"

Eldest brother looked at them and suddenly smiled, "Grandmother made clothes for me, which attracted everyone in the capital to like them!"

Three princesses: Damn, I feel like I've lost.
