[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

In fact, the imperial concubine didn't know much about these two Ge Ge's families and fathers. The most intuitive feeling she could see was that one was older and the other was younger.

At present, there is already a complete set of procedures in terms of specifications and systems for the prince's coming-of-age ceremony, acceptance of the title, leaving the palace to build a mansion, and the wedding.

And Yinfeng is the only crown prince in the Qing Dynasty so far. There is no corresponding precedent for giving lectures or getting married, so he has to refer to the previous dynasty.

Therefore, the big brother's big wedding must be earlier than the prince's big wedding.

Then the criterion for the selection of the imperial concubine is that the older girl will be married to the elder brother to be the Dafujin, and the younger girl will be married to the prince and be the princess.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that everyone is almost an adult when they get married.

What Kangxi had to consider was not age, but who was the best candidate for the next empress, who had the qualifications to be the mother of the world.

Kerkun was a civil servant, and in his generation, the family status of the Yiergenjueluo family was greatly improved because the official worshiped the Minister of the Household Department.

However, although Shi Wenbing's surname is Shi, and his official script is Hanjunzhengbaiqi, his ancestors are indeed Manchus.His grandfather was a famous general Shi Tingzhu who went through the three dynasties of Qing Taizu, Qing Taizong and Qing Shizu.

His father is the son-in-law of Duoduo, Prince Yu, and Shi Huashan, the general of Dingnan who made great contributions in the San Francisco Rebellion.

And he himself is now the commander of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army. Like his grandfather and father, he is also a general.

Seeing this, Kangxi suddenly smiled.He has been the emperor for too long, he is busy with government affairs, and he has a serious face all day long. He can only lower his posture when facing the empress dowager, and he can joke around when facing the youngest son Yinyou .

Today's smile is a bit unusual. The imperial concubine has been with him for a long time, and she knows him a little bit, and knows that he probably wants to tell something about the past.

One is ready to tell a story, and the other is ready to listen to gossip.

Suddenly, a small head poked in at the entrance of the hall.His eyes, which had just been washed by tears, were bright, and he asked obediently, "Can I come in?"

Kangxi just smiled and wanted to gossip with the imperial concubine, but when he saw him running over again, he immediately asked with a straight face, "Didn't I ask you to go to the study to practice calligraphy?"

"However, today's calligraphy has been practiced." Without waiting for Ama's approval, the little guy stepped over the threshold and ran into the hall.

Only then did the imperial concubine see that there were still a few pages of paper behind him, and she couldn't wait to pass them to Ama: "Ama, take a look."

Kangxi took it and flipped through it page by page. This little guy made rapid progress, his handwriting was neat, and he could even see a little bit of his own style. Some strokes looked playful and cute at the end.

Kangxi was very satisfied, and readily satisfied his request: "Stay here."

There is a plate of pine nuts on the table, each one has been carefully selected, they are big and full, and they are all open, so they are easy to peel.

The little guy sat down next to Er Niang, and the imperial concubine grabbed a handful of pine nuts for him to pass the time.

Kangxi then began to tell his story: "Such an incident happened in the ninth year of Tiancong. Shi Tingzhu was still a third-class general officer at that time. His wife and ex-husband had a daughter, which was his stepdaughter. She was raised by her natal family since she was a child. At that time, Duoduo was still Baylor, and sent people to find Shi Tingzhu several times, trying to take his stepdaughter into the house."

"Shi Tingzhu refused to give his stepdaughter to him, saying that his wife's daughter was his daughter. He was not a high-ranking official. Because his daughter had a father like him, Baylors had never married his daughter. If it were now, he would I have a guilty conscience, and I am sorry for his colleagues in the same official position."

"At this time, a group of his so-called friends with the same official position came out to claim the daughter, and they all said that they were the daughter's biological father and wanted to take the daughter back."

Speaking of this, Kangxi turned his head to look at the imperial concubine, and asked, "Do you know why?"

"They don't want a daughter, they just want a son-in-law, Prince Yu."

From ancient times to the present, clinging to the powerful seems to be something that most people have engraved in their bones.Even the Manchus, a hunter-gatherer who travel among the mountains, are no exception.

"Later, there was a lot of trouble about this matter. Emperor Taizong ordered a thorough investigation, only to find that Shi Tingzhu's stepdaughter was raised by her grandmother, and none of those who came to recognize her daughter was her biological father. The final penalty , Dismissal of dismissal, only Shi Tingzhu did not happen."

Speaking of this, Kangxi smiled again: "Until the fourth year of Shunzhi, Shi Tingzhu was already a third-class earl by virtue of his military exploits. This time Duoduo came to the door again and took the initiative to marry his daughter to Shi Tingzhu's son."

After the gossip was over, the imperial concubine roughly guessed what Kangxi meant from his narration and expression.

First of all, the Guarjia family is considered a family of generals, and Kangxi will not allow them to marry the elder brother.Secondly, through the gossip just now, Kangxi admired the character of Shi Tingzhu quite a lot, so the candidate for the crown princess has already been found.

Kangxi smiled again: "This story was told to me by my ancestors, and it still happened in Shengjing."

"Shengjing?" The little guy who was concentrating on knocking pine nuts raised his head, "I heard Mama Ukuma mention this place."

"Oh?" Kangxi became interested, "How did she tell you?"

"She said that a baby like me would have to be hung up shortly after birth, and she even sang a song to me."

Kangxi didn't have this kind of treatment when he was a child, and he was even a little envious of his younger son: "What song did she sing to you, you can sing it to Ama."

"Chat, chat, sleep well, baby; chat, chat, your grandma is dispatching troops, with a knife in her waist, riding a red horse, has great bow and archery skills, and the big flower feathers are bright, and the credit will be shared with you Grandpa..."【Note 1】

What he was talking about was a special way of raising children of the Manchus - Youche raising children.The ancestors of the Manchus were hunting peoples. Women also needed to ride horses to hunt, go down the river to fish, and live in tents. When the children were born, they were placed on the ground, and they might be taken away by wolves when they came back. So this kind of baby car was invented. Hang it up.

After Kangxi listened to the "Lullaby" sung by his son, Kangxi laughed loudly: "The Yoche you mentioned is still in the Shengjing Palace. I saw it when I went back a few years ago."

"By the way," he looked at the imperial concubine and youngest son beside him, "You haven't been to Shengjing yet, next time you worship your ancestors, I'll take you back to have a look."

He opened his mouth and drew a big cake first, but he didn't actually have a plan.But the son didn't buy it: "Ama, when are you going to Shengjing?"

"..."

The imperial concubine looked at him with a smile, a little watching the excitement was no big deal: "I have never seen you so energetic to let you study."

"Rong Ruo said..."

The imperial concubine interrupted him: "He is your master now."

The little guy quickly changed his words: "Master Nalan said, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."

The old father wanted to slip away: "When there is a plan, I will definitely take you with me."

But the little guy took the initiative to lean over: "Okay then, don't forget about me when the time comes, just take the prince and elder brother with you."

"I can't forget, I can't forget..."

The little guy stood between Ama and Erniang, took out a small plate from behind and put it in front of them: "Eat together, don't grab it."

Kangxi and the imperial concubine lowered their heads at the same time, and saw a plate full of shelled pine nuts.

It turned out that when they were chatting gossip just now, the little guy had been eating pine nuts beside him for a long time. He didn't eat any of them, so he saved them up and fed them to his Ama and Erniang.

The little guy stretched out his two little hands and held one in each hand: "Don't drive me away, I just want to be by your side."

"Why are you talking about this again?" Kangxi grabbed the pine nuts that his son respected, and put them in his mouth one by one, "No one wants to drive you away, but when you grow up, you have to get married and marry a wife. Is it possible that you can be a lifetime? elder brother?"

"I don't marry a wife, I don't marry a wife!"

Speaking of marrying a daughter-in-law, the little guy suddenly became excited: "To marry a daughter-in-law means moving out of the Forbidden City, I don't want it!"

"..."

Kangxi looked at him with interest: "Didn't you say that when you grow up, you will build a big, big house, and when Ama and Erniang are old, you will give us old age?"

"..."

This time it was the little guy's turn to be speechless, his big eyes rolled, and "Did I say that?" was written all over his face.

Sitting next to her, the imperial concubine felt sorry for her son, but also found it funny.

The little guy frowned: "Then... But, will you be old when I grow up? What if you are not old when I grow up?"

This question really entangled him, and finally he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to grow up, and you don't want to grow old either."

The old father patted his son on the shoulder and deliberately teased him: "A daughter-in-law is definitely going to marry, brothers all want to marry, how can you not marry? If you don't marry, people will laugh at you."

After Kangxi left, the little guy was still struggling with the matter of marrying a wife.He asked the imperial concubine: "Do you have to marry a daughter-in-law?"

The imperial concubine shook her head: "Not necessarily with me, it's up to you. But with your Ama, I guess it's okay not to marry."

Yinyou curled his lips, and was about to cry again, the imperial concubine quickly comforted him: "Ama said, Xiaoqi is a fool, you can marry later, don't cry, don't cry!"

The little guy quit and protested loudly: "I'm not a fool!"

The imperial concubine teased him: "But as long as you are a fool, you can marry a wife later, so you don't have to move out of the Forbidden City so quickly, okay?"

"Oh, oh, then I'm a fool, I'm a fool!" He patted his leg again, "Am I still a cripple?"

"Nonsense!" The imperial concubine hugged him, and after thinking for a while, it seemed that she hadn't heard her son cry out that his legs were weak for a long time, only when he acted coquettishly and didn't want to walk by himself, or made a mistake and wanted to escape punishment.

Looking at it this way, the leg probably won't get better.

Yinyou has always been brooding over the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law. He doesn't know what is the use of marrying a daughter-in-law, and he doesn't know why he must marry a daughter-in-law.

The little guy thought about it carefully, and Baotai always said that he had kissed him and was responsible for him.Being responsible means getting married, and getting married means that he wants to be his own wife.

Thinking of this, Yinyou shook his head, no, no, he doesn't want a daughter-in-law like Baotai, she's too clingy, and it's a waste of toys.

He thought of Bandi again, but Bandi was no good either, because he was going to be his eldest sister's daughter-in-law.

There is also Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu can't do it either, he looks like a girl.Girls are too troublesome, Yinyou doesn't like it.

He mentioned his entanglement to Er Niang, and the imperial concubine looked at him in surprise: "You have memorized so many poems, don't you know that your wife must be a woman?"

"I know." The little guy had a natural expression, "But can it only be a woman, not a man?"

The imperial concubine thought for a while, and then thought again: "If, I mean, if, when you grow up, you insist on liking a man, I can barely accept it, but I hope not."

Yinyou looked at her and asked, "Why?"

"Because no one else can accept it except me."

The little guy waved his hand impatiently: "Forget it, forget it, marrying a wife is so troublesome, I still don't want to marry it."

The imperial concubine laughed: "You are only four and a half years old, so don't think about puppy love, go study hard for me."

Hearing the word "reading", the little guy touched his right leg, and just opened his mouth, but he hasn't spoken yet.The imperial concubine blocked him back: "You don't need your legs to read, you have to read to me even if you are lame."

"Let's study!" The little guy stood up with his robe lifted, and walked out with steps that his relatives did not recognize.

The imperial concubine laughed so happily behind him, her son, every move, every frown and smile could affect her emotions, crying and laughing with him for a while.

It would be great if such days would never end.

On the day of the draft, Yinyou still couldn't hold back his curiosity. He especially wanted to see what the prince's brother and the eldest brother's future wife would look like.

But he didn't plan to go alone, because the risk was a bit high, and if he was caught, there was a high probability that he would be beaten up.

The little guy wanted to join in the fun, but he didn't want to be beaten alone.So he thought of a way - find someone to be punished with him.

He first went to look for the elder brother, who was practicing in the yard, and the little guy was stunned by a set of boxing skills.

Rushing in without saying a word, hugging the elder brother's leg and starting to act like a baby: "Teach me, teach me, Master."

The elder brother was suddenly hugged by someone's legs, as if someone had grabbed his veins, he couldn't move for a while.

"Master?" Eldest brother was puzzled, "Who are you calling?"

"I call you, you are my elder brother, of course you are the master." The little cutie raised her head to look at him, with big eyes, fair face, red lips, as beautiful as a porcelain doll.

The elder brother stretched out both hands, pinched his face from left to right, pinched it and pulled it to the side, and then let go, the soft bouncing was especially fun.

"But my surname is Aixinjueluo."

"Oh!" The little guy changed his words politely, "Love Master."

"..."

"Master Aixinjueluo?"

Big brother pushed him: "It's so annoying!"

The big fool wanted to leave, but the little fool refused to let him go, and the two fools were chatting in the yard.

I finally remembered that my purpose of coming here was not to learn kung fu, but to invite my eldest brother to take a peek together: "Let's go and see what your future wife looks like."

The elder brother was taken aback for a moment, and then became angry from embarrassment: "Go away, go away! Who cares what she looks like, who is going to see her?"

"Huh..." Yinyou had to let go of his strength because he was too strong, "Why are you like a big sister?"

"???"

"Why are you ashamed?"

The big fool was so disturbed that he didn't want to practice martial arts, so he pulled up his robe and entered the room.

After a while, he asked the eunuch to bring out a plate of snacks, ready to feed the little fool, but there was no one in the yard.

The little guy originally wanted to find the prince's brother, but when he thought of the prince's concentration sitting in front of the desk reading, he gave up this idea. The prince's brother is only suitable for studying hard, not for being mischievous.

On the way, he met the fifth elder brother Yinqi, who was simply the best candidate for mischief and mischief.Yinyou rushed over and hugged him from behind: "Fifth brother!"

Fifth elder brother turned his head and was also very happy to see him: "Xiaoqi!"

"Five brothers!"

"Little Seven!"

The fifth elder brother ate well and slept well every day in Ningshou Palace, and he was much taller than his younger brothers. Even if Yinyou stood on tiptoe, he couldn't get close to his ear to talk, so he had to bend over to him. Bend down and meet him.

"I want to go to the Ama draft, do you want to come with me?"

After all, Brother Wu is also a fool, so the duo of fools hit it off and formed a successful team immediately.

This year, the place to read the draft girls is located in the Wanchun Pavilion of the Royal Garden, which is a semi-open area, and Yinyou and Yinqi plan to sneak in from behind.

The show girls to be selected gathered in an open area of ​​the Royal Garden and waited.

Yinqi led his younger brother, walked through the crowd towards Wanchun Pavilion.

Yin Qi pulled Yin You and sneaked past from behind.The fifth elder brother walked too fast, with tall and big steps, Yinyou couldn't keep up, so he hurriedly chased after him.

There is a beautiful girl beside her, surrounded by several people, like stars holding the moon, surrounding her in the middle.

She is very beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and melon-seeded face. She looks like a beautiful woman.

Not only is she beautiful, but she also comes from a relatively tall family, according to the people around her.

At this time, a voice in the crowd suddenly whispered: "In my opinion, Yin Gege is more beautiful."

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and looked into the corner.

Yinyou also looked over there, and saw a girl standing there alone, dressed plainly, with her head down, unable to see her face clearly.

The face of the beauty who was praised just now changed, and she walked straight towards the girl in the corner. Without saying a word, she stepped on her embroidered shoes.

Although this Yin Gege is plainly dressed, he is the most inconspicuous among all the beautiful girls.But she was also dressed cleanly, and she didn't get angry when she stepped on her for no reason, she just stepped back.

The girl walked over and suddenly pinched Yin Gege's chin, and said in a very rude tone: "I don't care about my background, even if I enter the palace, I am only worthy of being a slave."

Yinyou thought she was annoying, and was about to speak, when a girl stood beside him, stood in front of him, smiled at him, and said in a low voice, "You're being naughty again."

"Hey, Little One."

Hearing this address, Tong Gege stomped his feet angrily, turned around, and ignored him.

Then, Yinyou heard her say to the aggressive girl, "Be quiet."

There are so many beautiful women standing here, no matter how tall they are, they are not as tall as her.As soon as she spoke, no matter whether she was provoking trouble or eating melons, they all fell silent.

Yin Qi waited impatiently at the side, and gave him a hand: "Let's go, everything has already started over there, if we don't go there, there will be no more fun for us to watch."

Kangxi sat at the front of the Wanchun Pavilion, next to the empress dowager and imperial concubine, and next to the imperial concubine was Huifei.

Yinyou and Yinqi happened to be hiding behind the Empress Dowager's chair, poking out half of their heads to look out.

A group of six beautiful girls came in for the emperor to choose.These girls have already been screened several times, and they are not far behind in being able to come to the Imperial Palace.

The imperial concubine would not raise any opinions, and the concubine Hui did not dare to mention it. Only the empress dowager occasionally exchanged a few words with Kangxi.

But she didn't have any objections, she just came to join in the fun to show her concern for the emperor.

The girls came in and out, three or four groups had already passed, Kangxi sat there lacking interest, always glanced scribbledly, and then waved.

The few who remained were the pre-appointed prince Fujin like the Yiergenjueluo family and the Guarjia family.

Both Yinyou and Yinqi looked a little impatient, and there was really nothing to see. In the eyes of the two little boys, these girls looked similar, and they didn't know what to choose.

Yin Qi frowned, it's better to play somewhere else for a while.

He pulled La Yinyou, and was about to give him a look, suggesting that he stop looking and let's go.

Yinyou covered his mouth and told him to look out.

In the group below, there are three people they have met just now, one is the bullied Yin Gege, he is standing on the far side, and the other is the person who bullied him just now, she is very brightly dressed, among the six people is Yi Renen paid the most attention.There is also Tong Gege, who is not brilliant and does not have a strong sense of presence, but he is dignified and generous.

Yinyou heard the eunuch singing their surnames. It turned out that the domineering girl called him Tara's name, which was a strange surname.

The empress dowager saw the footprints on Yin Gege's shoes at first sight.Although she has not participated in the draft, she has stayed in the palace for a long time, so this little trick is naturally seen a lot.

She turned her head and found that Concubine Hui was also looking at the emperor, only the imperial concubine was sitting there, her eyes were only on her sister, as if no one else had anything to do with her.

Kangxi frowned, a little angry.He couldn't even take care of his own personal hygiene, so why did he send it to him.

He was getting impatient sitting here a long time ago, so he took a few sneaky glances at the imperial concubine, left Tong Gege's sign first, then took another look, and found that the queen mother liked the brightly dressed one.

He was about to order his servants to keep this Tala's, when suddenly there was an exclamation from beside him: "Ah, Xiao Qi, you stepped on my foot!"

"!!!"

The Empress Dowager was the first to turn around, she was too familiar with this voice, wasn't it her baby Xiao Wu?

The impatience on Kangxi's face added the word "more". He originally wanted to deal with the draft matter quickly, so he went back to the Qianqing Palace to deal with political affairs, but now the two little boys are here to make trouble for him.

The imperial concubine was convinced, so he knew that his son would never be able to restrain his curiosity, so he must come to join in the fun.Li Xi should have kept him in the room.

Concubine Hui even had a smile on her face when she turned her head, but she felt something was wrong, so she quickly held back and sat aside to concentrate on eating melons.

That is to say, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother can do this kind of thing.They both made a mistake.One is protected by the Empress Dowager, and the other is protected by the Empress Dowager.Ordinary people really dare not do anything to them, the emperor just reprimanded them, and there will be no substantive punishment.

Especially this Seventh Elder Brother, his current status is about the same as that of a half-died son.

The last time the emperor came back from his northern tour, what he said when he paid homage to the two empresses in Jingling quickly spread throughout the entire harem.

In the past, the imperial concubine performed the duties of a queen, and no one really regarded her as a queen from the bottom of their hearts.Now I understand that the emperor's failure to establish a queen is because he really does not want to kill his cousin.

Brother Wu's voice attracted everyone's attention, but Yinyou didn't care.He suddenly pinched Fifth Elder Brother's chin, and said in a childlike voice, "I don't care about my background, even if I enter the palace, I'm only worthy of being a slave."

Yinqi: "???"

Tong Gege knew that she shouldn't laugh at this time, but she couldn't help it, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

Anyway, he wasn't the only one laughing, the empress dowager and concubine Hui raised the corners of their mouths, but they didn't dare to laugh in front of the emperor.

His Tara's face turned green and pale, just now the emperor was clearly planning to keep her, she was about to enter the palace to be a concubine, who would have thought that such a sudden appearance would happen.

Kangxi took a deep breath, his impatience had reached its peak, and he waved his hand: "Keep the one next to you too. Alright, let's all step back!"

So, in the end, Talashi did not stay after exhausting all his efforts, but Yin Gege, who had been bullied all the time, was kept by Kangxi at the last moment.

After all the show girls left, Kangxi refocused on the two children.

You don't need to ask to know that this idea must be Xiao Qi's idea, and the old five tigers are a little bit stupid, but they are not so bold yet.

The Empress Dowager kept Yinqi by her side all the time, and Yinyou desperately gave the imperial concubine winks: "You take care of me."

The imperial concubine lowered her head, pretending she didn't see anything.If you make a mistake, you have to bear it yourself.

In the end, Kangxi had nothing to do with the two of them. After all, it was not a big deal. The fifth elder brother was protected by the queen mother, so he only punished Yinyou, and he himself was not willing.

He still had a lot of things to do, and he didn't have time to fuss with the children, so he punished them to go back home and copy ten copybooks, and check them tomorrow morning, and the matter passed like that.

Kangxi stood up and saluted the Empress Dowager: "I will send you back to the palace."

The empress dowager quickly waved her hand: "You are busy with your work, I will go back by myself."

Imperial Concubine and Concubine Hui hurriedly said: "The concubine is sending the Queen Mother back to the palace."

Kangxi saw that they were so sensible, so he left in peace.

As soon as Khan Ama left, Yinqi began to blame Yinyou: "It's all your fault, why step on my feet?"

Yinyou said: "I don't want to see others being bullied."

"Huh!" Yin Qi became more and more angry, "It's fine now, I was punished by Ama for writing ten copybooks, and I don't even want to play today."

Yinyou waved his hand boldly: "What's the big deal, isn't it just writing ten copybooks as a punishment, I'll just write it for you."

The imperial concubine covered his mouth: "Is this something you can do for me?"

The empress dowager said with a smile: "Okay, you two stop arguing and write your own."

Yinyou still wrote twenty copybooks when he went back, and the next day he put them in front of his Ama in awe-inspiring manner, and said very boldly: "Yesterday I dragged Fifth Brother to join in the fun, and I also stepped on him, it was all because of me." His fault, I will be punished for his share."

Kangxi read all the twenty words he wrote. Although there are many in number, the quality is not bad, and it can be seen that there is no perfunctory.

The old father was very satisfied, and waved his hand: "Okay, since you are so responsible, write another twenty today."

Yinyou: "..."

Although the two daughter-in-laws have been chosen, they are still too early to get married.In particular, the ceremonies and systems for the prince's wedding should be worked out quickly with reference to historical books and previous dynasties.

Several other people filled the harem, and Tong's imperial concubine was conferred, and the canonization ceremony was not performed first, but the treatment was the same as that of Huiyi Rongde's four concubines, and all the others agreed.

Concubine Tong was placed in Jingren Palace, not far from Chengqian Palace.This is the palace where Empress Xiaokangzhang used to live, that is, the aunt of Concubine Huanggui and Concubine Tong. Since her death, Jingren Palace has been empty.

That day when Yinyou came back from school in Qianqing Palace, he happened to meet Concubine Tong who came to visit.As soon as the little guy entered the room, he warmly greeted others: "Xiaoyi, how are you?"

This brat is too annoying, the imperial concubine gave him a hand: "What nonsense, it's called Concubine Tong."

"Concubine Tong... Your Majesty?"

Concubine Tong pulled him to her front: "When no one is around, call me Auntie. Remember, it's Auntie, not Xiaoyi!"

Yinyou nodded sharply, and asked her to rest assured: "Okay, it's my aunt, I will remember."

In fact, Concubine Tong is only sixteen years old this year, and she is just a child in the eyes of the imperial concubine.Before she entered the palace, her father had already explained to her her mission - to serve the emperor, accompany the imperial concubine, and consolidate the family's glory.

In addition to her, Jingren Palace also lived in the two promises who entered the palace together.Everyone's identities are too different, and we can't talk together.

She went to Chengqian Palace to greet the imperial concubine every day, and stayed for most of the day.

The imperial concubine lived a very regular life. In the morning, she went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager and see her physical condition.When I come back, I read books, and I don’t put them down. The way to pass the time is to study besides amusing my son.

When she first entered the palace, Concubine Tong could still chat with her sister about the situation at home.After a long time, under the influence of her sister, she also read books together, but she couldn't read those medical books, so she looked for his poetry collection in Yinyou's study to read.

The little guy came back from school at noon every day, had lunch, took a nap, got up and saw his mother and aunt were reading, he was too embarrassed to play alone, so he could only study with him.

In the blink of an eye, it entered October, and the weather was getting colder and colder.Yinyou couldn't get out of bed in the morning.The only motivation for him to get out of the warm bed was to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

That day he came out of the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, went to the woodshed to see his lions, and went to inspect the pool in the garden. "Liang Shanbo" and "Ma Wencai" began to hibernate again.

When the little guy was about to leave, he saw a vacant piece of land next to him. There used to be a tree there, which was an orange tree he had planted himself.Later, she went to the south of the Yangtze River with Ama, and the tree froze to death when she came back.

Thinking of this, the little guy thought of his glass house again.So after school that day, he rode Ta Ri to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is where the Zao Office is located.Yinyou turned around, everyone was busy with their own things, and no one paid attention to him.

So, he entered the hall and saw an official in his 30s behind the table who was burying his head in drawing something on a piece of paper.

The man was so absorbed in the painting that Yinyou had already walked up to him, but he didn't react.

The little guy tilted his head and looked in all directions for a long time, and finally understood what he had drawn: "I've seen this thing before. It's called a pipa. When Ama held a family banquet, the musician next to him was holding this and playing it."

He thought for a while and added: "When singing opera, there are people playing the pipa beside me."

The man looked up at him and saw that it was a milk doll not much higher than the table, so he ignored him.

Zhao Cheng from behind coughed lightly and said, "This is Brother Seven."

The man was not very courteous when he heard that the seventh elder brother was not very attentive, that is, he bowed symbolically and was very perfunctory: "My humble minister Dai Zi."

Yinyou was very embarrassed, this surname is also a bit special, he couldn't straighten his tongue: "Dai Dai...Master Dai. I want to ask when my glass house will be built."

Dai Zi said, "It can't be built."

"what?"

"With the current technology of the Manufacturing Office, it is impossible to make such a large piece of flat glass."

Yinyou blinked: "But there is a screen in Ama's bedroom that is made of glass."

"It was brought by a Western merchant ship."

Yinyou asked: "Westerners can make it, why can't we?"

Dai Zi raised his head to look at him again: "Then you have to ask Nan Huairen and other Westerners."

Yinyou turned around and left, and fell back before going out: "The pipa you painted is really ugly."

"I'm not painting a pipa, I'm painting..." At this point, Dai Zi stopped, "I won't tell you, you are a baby, you don't understand anything."

"I don't understand, but you can tell me."

At this time, someone came in from the outside, and Dai Zi immediately put away his drawings.

For several days in a row, Yinyou ran to the building office, and went to see Dai Zi painting pipa every day, and he also felt that it didn't look like a pipa after seeing it.

Yinyou suddenly realized: "I know what this is?"

"what?"

"This is a more powerful and efficient musket, just like the musket I used when Amma was hunting."

Dai Zi raised his head to look at him, looked at him for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "You don't understand anyway, so let me tell you. This is much more powerful than a musket. I call it a lance, and it can shoot 28 shots in a row. Fire the bullet."

Yinyou thought for a while and said: "I don't believe it, my musket can only hit rabbits one by one."

"When I make it, you will believe it."

Yinyou is very interested in his "Lianzhu Gun" and has been waiting for him to make it.

But almost a month has passed, and I haven't seen him make it. Yinyou was a little strange, so he asked him: "Why can't you make that 'continuous gun' that can shoot 28 bullets in a row?"

Dai Zi sat by the stove and sighed: "I won't do it."

Yinyou sat beside him, "Why?"

"Don't ask."

The little guy sneered: "You just can't do it."

"..."

Yinyou really wanted to see what he called the "Random Gun".Because the little guy remembers Er Niang once said that firearms are more powerful than Manchu cavalry and shooting, and the weapons that will play a winning factor in wars in the future must be efficient and more lethal muskets.

But Dai Zi said that if he didn't do it, he wouldn't do it, which made him very disappointed.

The little guy was not reconciled, so he ran to the construction office to find Dai Zi: "You have drawn the picture for so long, and now you give up, it is not for nothing. If you can't do it, you can study it slowly. How can you say that you don't want to do it? Woolen cloth?"

"..."

Dai Zi didn't expect that this little doll cared more about his "Random Gun" than he did.I was really annoyed by him babbling and chanting scriptures in my ear every day, so I told the truth.

"I did have some difficulty finding a lot of deficiencies in this thing that I hadn't thought of before."

Yinyou said: "You can improve slowly, how can you give up lightly?"

Dai Zi glanced at him: "What do you know, little doll?"

Yinyou said, "I'm going to be five soon, I'm not a baby anymore."

"Five years old is still a baby."

Although the little guy was not convinced, there was no point in arguing about age.So, he changed his mind: "It's because I'm a little doll who doesn't understand anything that you tell me these things."

Dai Zi is a man of many talents. Not only can he engage in weapon research, but he can also recite poems and compose Fu, and understand ancient and modern times.Back then, he joined Gao Shiqi in the South Study Room, but after Kangxi discovered his talent in making firearms, he changed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

However, his personality is not suitable for being an official. He is upright and outspoken, which offended many people. No one in his colleagues wants to be friends with him. Listen to him say these things.

Although Seventh Brother is a little doll, he is a very interesting little doll. This is because he can distinguish firearms from swords, cold weapons and hot weapons, and concisely summarize the advantages of greater power and higher efficiency of firearms. , which means that he is not an ordinary person.That's why I'm willing to talk to him about these days.

"Alas!" Dai Zi sighed, at this time, there was no one else in the ear room except the two of them.He said to Yinyou, "I had a strange dream a few days ago. In the dream, a fairy rebuked me and said, "God
