[Qing wear] Harem promotion expert

Jiang Heng once heard a real estate friend say that the most important thing about a house is the 'location'.The city center has the bustling and bustling city center, which is convenient for commuting, and the unique quiet scenery of the suburbs is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Each has its own selling point.In short, the main points of house appreciation, soft conditions such as apartment size and interior decoration, should be placed in the back row, mainly in the geographical location.

After Jiang Heng was assigned to the Yonghe Palace, he also knew the location of the lot immediately.

The location of Yonghe Palace is quite good. Needless to say, the Chengqian Palace next to the Queen on the west side, but the east side is better: go out from the back door of the apse, go east through the Yanfu Gate, and you will find the South Fruit Room and Tea Storehouse. Go out through the front gate of the palace, and go east through the Renze gate, which is the satin library.

People talk about basic necessities of life, Yonghe Palace is right next to the two warehouses related to 'clothing' and 'food', it's really a good location.

Nanguofang and the tea storehouse are in the same courtyard, so the two attendants and supervisors walked together to greet Jiang Heng.

After all, it is a 'neighbor' who is only separated by a palace road, please greet and earn some affection earlier.

When Jiang Heng walked to the main room, the two guards bowed together: "Master Zhang Qian and Hu Xiaoshun from the tea storehouse (Nanguofang) pay their respects to the nobleman."

They all looked like their job, the round face like a grapefruit was Hu Xiaoshun, the Nanguo Fang attendant, and the long face and thin body like a tea stalk was Zhang Qian from the tea storehouse.

Hu Xiaoshun was obviously more clever, and used the road to harass the relationship: "Nanguofang often has cars to transport southern fresh fruits and various northern dried fruits. The vehicles and horses come and go, I am afraid they will disturb the peace of the nobleman, so I will apologize to you first."

When Jiang Heng heard Nanxianguo, he thought of pineapples and mangoes in summer. The strong fruity aroma of these tropical fruits was the taste of summer in her memory, and a smile appeared on his lips: "It's okay."

Although the two of them dared not look up, they could see the smile on the eyes of the honored man from the corner of their eyes. Judging from his face, he was not a difficult master, so their faces were also full of smiles: "In the future, if the nobleman has orders, just send them away." The people in the palace go over."

Jiang Heng nodded to Qiuxue, and Qiuxue handed over two purses containing golden scorpions.

The two thanked each other and left.

Not long after, Qiulu came in with two fruit baskets, one fresh fruit basket filled with honeydew melons, loquats, green peaches, apricots and other seasonal fruits; Northeast big pine nuts with a large package of bright oil.

"Return to master, this is just sent by Nanguofang."

When Jiang Heng saw the two big fruit baskets, he sighed, "This is a fat job."

Qiu Xue interjected: "Isn't it? Fruits are not like other things, they are extremely easy to be bumped and rotted, even if the best fruits are stored for ten days and a half months, they will lose their watery spirit and cannot be given to the masters—— here Consumption is not how they report it.”

Anyway, the masters would not eat fruits of poor quality. The eunuchs in the Nanguofang used all kinds of fruits as favors. As long as they did not touch those extremely precious tribute fruits, no one would care about them.

Jiang Heng nodded: "This is the reason why the cook can't starve to death after three years of drought."

When Qiushuang went to wash the peaches and apricots, Qiuxue lowered her voice and said to Jiang Heng: "The former emperor's Nanguofang attendant was not Hu Xiaoshun, this one was raised after Long Live Lord ascended the throne. It is said that he and Su Gonggong It is because of the love of incense that I got this fat job."

I don't know how many eunuchs surnamed Su in this palace, but Su Peisheng is the only one who is called Mr. Su.

This Hu Xiaoshun is indeed Su Peisheng's man. Back then, when the fourth master was not out of the palace, he was the little eunuch in the dining room, and he was very fond of Su Peisheng who followed the fourth elder brother.

Now the fawning has paid off.

After moving in as a concubine in Yonghe Palace, Hu Xiaoshun hurriedly came to ask Su Peisheng about the origin of this trustworthy nobleman and what he should do, whether he should flatter him or not in advance.

When he was looking for it secretly, Su Peisheng happened to be ordered to fetch the hibiscus stewed stone tripod from the warehouse, so he took Hu Xiaoshun along, pointed at the tripod and said, "The rest of the newcomers' furnishings are all the rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Where is the nobleman, the emperor specially ordered to find this thing and give it to her. Tell me, should you go to pay your respects?"

Hu Xiaoshun looked at the somewhat gloomy warehouse, a crystal-clear hibiscus stewed stone tripod, exuding a soft light, it was obviously a utensil, but it was as beautiful as a beautiful woman's shy and timid face.

He understood immediately.

And because he believed that the honored person was not in charge, he came to the door on the same day if he was not good, so he waited for two days, and then he invited the steward of the tea storehouse to pay his respects and sent a big fruit basket to show himself to the honored person. Kindness like a honeydew.

And the experience of following the emperor to three palaces in one night, to Su Peisheng, is really the prophet of the spring river plumbing duck, the emperor is the river water, and he is the spring duck.

He was a eunuch, but it wasn't his brains and feelings that were cut off.Su Peisheng has been with the emperor for so many years, he is very familiar with the emperor's actions, and his expression is even more familiar.

Su Peisheng had never seen the emperor being so indifferent and unhappy towards the noble concubine, but the emperor was so annoyed last night, but after seeing nobleman Xin, he gradually calmed down, and even laughed later.

He had a premonition that the world of the harem was about to change.

When Jiang Heng was collecting the large fruit basket in the palace, her Amaguar Jiaguanbao was wearing an official azurite uniform, standing solemnly under the screen wall in front of the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the emperor to summon him inside.

In fact, this was waiting in front of the Qianqing Palace, and it was more during the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

After ascending the throne today, he moved to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Usually meeting with confidential ministers is also in the study outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Since sending a team of river management officials out of Beijing was a major event, the emperor deliberately moved to the Qianqing Palace: it is a big place, so it is convenient to meet all the officials involved at once.

Of course, before coming here, the emperor had to summon his fourteenth younger brother and the governor of the river, Guan Bao, alone.

Guan Bao stands in the shadow of the screen wall.

The Qianqing Palace was more than ten meters high, and even the screen wall he was standing on was ten meters high, and the glazed flower on Shanbi's heart was as tall as a person.

Standing in front of such a palace will allow people to truly appreciate the supremacy of the emperor and his own insignificance.

Guanbao is not only standing here, but also experiencing this feeling.

Outside, he is the governor of a banner, an official with a prominent family background, and a pivotal figure in the Guarja family.

But here, he can always feel his own insignificance.Sitting in the Qianqing Palace is the master of the world, his life and death can be determined with one word, no, the life and death of his family and his family.

This can remind him to always maintain awe and loyalty to the emperor, and not to be blinded by power and think that he can draw chestnuts from the fire.

Today is different from the previous emperor, so Guan Bao said, not only can you not rub sand in your eyes today, but you have to sweep away any sand in your eyes immediately.

Thinking of this, Guan Bao became a little worried.

He thought of his daughter, who was in Long Live Lord's harem at this time.

Guanbao has two sons and daughters, and several sons and daughters of concubines.He belongs to a standard feudal family official, a virtuous wife and beautiful concubine, and his pursuit in his life is to have a prosperous official position and a prosperous family.The affairs of the back house and children should all be handed over to the wife who is also from a famous family.

The ten fingers are not the same length, even if it is the biological father, it is impossible to be equal to the child emotionally.But Guan Bao is a very rational person, and he arranges the life path for each child not according to his personal preference, but according to the background and personal characteristics of the sons.

For example, the eldest son must be cultivated to be stable and capable of carrying the family business. For example, the bastard, no matter how smart he is, will never have the opportunity to inherit a family business. He will only find a suitable official position for him, and let him make his own way .

But a daughter is different from a son.

This is the only pro daughter, and the relationship between husband and wife is good, and they are still middle-aged daughters, so it is inevitable that Ama will be more partial in private.Especially the daughter with outstanding appearance and good temperament, no father would dislike such a precious girl.

But Guan Bao also discovered very timely and rationally that his daughter was a little too well-behaved and kind-hearted.

So three years ago, when his daughter was about to turn 13, and when she was about to run for the next year's general election, Guan Bao asked the late emperor to let her daughter be dismissed.

At that time, the first emperor was already old, and the favorites selected into the palace were all women of low birth among the bannermen, and even Han women who came from the south of the Yangtze River, so that the harem would be stable and there would be no more high-ranking concubines with good family backgrounds.

Girls with good births in the general election are reserved for the princes and grandchildren. If you want to ask for grace to let your daughter put up a sign, that is, you don't even want the grace of the prince or the clan Fujin.

Emperor Kangxi also teased him at the time: "It's a pity to put up a brand with such a surname and family background. You are not afraid that your daughter will not be easy to marry."

Guanbao said very honestly that his own children are counted, instead of being a Fujin to manage the temperament of a large family, it is better to choose a good character and marry lowly. up.

The first emperor agreed because of his fatherly heart.

Jinkou Yuyan, of course he will not go back on such a trivial matter.Guan Bao went back and told his wife that the husband and wife were very happy, and he loved his daughter as usual, and did not restrain her and force her to learn those inner house twists and turns that violated her heart and nature.

Jue Ercha even chose her daughter's dowry mother and maid. They are all radishes and pits. You don't need to worry about it.

But the problem is, when Jiang Heng entered the palace to run for election, the late emperor was no longer there, and the golden words had expired.

And the queen mother liked her as soon as she saw her, so she immediately left a sign.

That's how things are.

Guan Bao knew how many times his wife had cried behind his back, but his daughter came to comfort them and said, "Don't worry, Ama Erniang, I will be cautious in my words and deeds after entering the palace, and I will obey my orders and never cause trouble for the family."

At that time, Guan Bao was both sad and cold: Silly boy, what we are afraid of is that you are too obedient, and you don’t know if you are bullied by others, and you are as well-behaved as you are at home.

But there is no way to say that.

Guan Bao didn't dare to teach his daughter some thick and dark things temporarily, for fear that the teaching would be different.I had no choice but to ask my wife to teach my daughter some household chores in an emergency, so as not to let her go to the palace, even the palace people can't control her.

But... Guan Bao was worried when he thought of his daughter's temper.

When Su Peisheng came out to declare his audience, Guan Baocai put away these thoughts, and all his thoughts went back to "Chen Shu on Zhihe" that he had thought about countless times last night, and prepared to answer the emperor's question later.

When he entered the hall and saw the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Masters there, Guan Bao felt a little more relaxed.

In fact, Guanbao had no friendship with the present before, but he has a very good relationship with the Thirteenth Master.

At this time, seeing the Thirteenth Lord standing in front of the imperial court, his body and expression were not tense, and the Fourteenth Lord had a little smile on his face, Guan Bao knew that the Emperor must be in a good mood.

This was the first time that Emperor Yongzheng met Guanbao face to face, and after talking for a while, he felt that he was a practical person.

The thirteenth brother of Guai Dao liked it, and he really had a good eye.

It has long been recognized by the ruling and opposition parties that the emperor likes people who do practical things, and what happened just a few days ago is even more proof.

Jiangxi's chief political envoy poured out a letter of greetings, in which there was no local people's livelihood or business, and the whole article basically praised the emperor's prosperity and prosperity.

Then I received a reply from the emperor Zhu Zhu: "I really hate this kind of empty writing."

One sentence made countless courtiers stay up all night to rewrite the scriptures with tears in their eyes, trying to turn their own scriptures into dry goods, for fear of being 'deeply disgusted' by the emperor.

Guanbao knew that to be an emperor, one must have both appearance and appearance, and it is best to have a good reputation and a good truth.But if there is a conflict between the two, in fact, the first emperor had a more famous name in his later years and wanted to be a famous sage emperor, but now he is more serious, and he has to deal with things first.

Moreover, although the first emperor was not a tolerant person when he had wars abroad in his prime, but in his later years, he liked to keep things safe and he was quite conservative about major changes.

Nowadays, people obviously don’t think so: stability is very important, but a steady rise is important. If it falls steadily, then it is very stable. What do you want this kind of stability for?

It is better to make drastic reforms to the old malpractices.

Guan Bao has a good relationship with Prince Yi, so he was awakened earlier than others. He understood it as early as when the emperor reorganized the government as soon as he ascended the throne.

Since then, Guanbao has changed his style of handling affairs and official documents, putting pragmatism first, and the language of the excerpts has been refined, and he has indeed won the important task of the governor of the river today.

At this time, the emperor pointed out the subtle shortcomings and hidden dangers in his river governance Chen Shuzhong, which was extremely precise, which made Guanbao even more awed, thinking that the emperor is really a versatile and sophisticated in governing the country.

After half an hour of detailed talks between the monarch and his ministers, Guan Bao had completely figured out how to work under the emperor, and the emperor was quite satisfied with such a minister.

After Guan Bao left, the emperor gave an extra sentence of fourteen: "You are the prince of the county, even if Guan Bao is the governor, I don't think he would dare to force you. But I see that he has worked hard, you see more Learn more, don't let me know that you are out of Beijing, but you are going to play like a wild horse returning to the mountain!"

The emperor found that facing such a fourteenth, he regained the feeling of being a real elder brother, and then unconsciously he became like a father to his elder brother, often holding fourteen to teach him.

Seeing his listless look of being a little afraid of himself, the emperor felt relieved.

Finally, a date was set for Shisi: "After calculation, the day after tomorrow will be a good day to go out of Beijing. After paying respects to Empress Empress, you will go back to the mansion to take care of the affairs of the mansion, and you will have a day off tomorrow."

Fourteen held back the complaints in his heart: I was about to be kicked out of the capital and squatted on the river to dig soil, so I was stingy to give me a day off!

In the past few days, what the queen mother should prepare for her youngest son is almost the same.

After fourteen had invited An to leave, the Queen Mother also said to Aunt Wu Ya who was serving next to her: "Although he is young, he is still in his 20s. The late Emperor has already leveled San Francisco by now. But the Ai family always endures I can't stop worrying about him, and treat him like a child, and I have to prepare for everything."

After a few homely conversations with the Empress Dowager, Aunt Wu Ya was about to take the net from the Empress Dowager's hand: "Didn't Your Majesty still say that your eyes are uncomfortable these days? Let the slaves play this net."

In the past, when the Empress Dowager was a Concubine De, she would make endless undergarments for the emperor, so she let Aunt Wu Ya do them in private.

The queen mother shook her head: "This is for the emperor. Fourteenth came to the palace to pay his respects. He said that he was riding a horse with Thirteenth. He lost half the body of the horse and even the jade pendant on his body. It was very unpleasant. The Ai family made two jade pendants and gave them to Fourteen. Now I have to make two for the emperor. Of course, I have to make them with my own hands. The emperor is careful, so don't ask him to think too much. .”

Sister Wu Ya immediately didn't dare to mention the matter of taking over.

After all, Grandpa Long Live didn't grow up under the empress' knees when he was a child, and the empress has deliberately made up for it over the years.It was like this when the emperor was not enthroned. Wherever the Fourteenth Master has, Prince Yong's Mansion must have one, and more.

And after the emperor ascended the throne, Aunt Wu Ya saw that the queen mother habitually gave snacks to the emperor and divided them into two dishes. She also laughed and said once: "Now Long live is the master of the world, and there is no one who can be more honorable. Empress will love Fourteenth Master more in the future."

At that time, the Empress Dowager was rarely dissatisfied with her and said: "How do you say that? If you become an emperor, you don't need to be distressed by my mother?"

Aunt Wu Ya was so frightened that she patted her cheeks twice and said that she said something wrong.

The queen mother sighed and said: "I know you are trying to make fun of me, there is no other intention. It is because you see that I have been close to the fourth child all these years. How many years have I not seen him?"

"Empress Xiaoyi has no sons. Of course it was fine to treat the fourth child back then, but Empress Xiaoyi pretended to have a lot of things in her heart. Later, she was ill for a few years, and she couldn't let go of many important family matters in her heart. She had to think over and over again. At that time, the fourth child did not Come back to me, no one can know the grievances of being caught in the middle. That's why he has developed a thoughtful personality. When he was a child, the late emperor said that he was moody, which is probably because of his childhood suffering."

Two brothers with the same father and the same mother, the fourth child is as careful as dust and even has a somewhat sensitive temperament, and the fourteenth is a tiger-headed tiger-headed, somewhat indebted temperament, the queen mother can always make up a lot of things when she thinks about it The eldest son was wronged when he was young.

In fact, let the onlookers see, not to mention that brothers with the same father and mother who are ten years apart have different temperaments, even twins have very different temperaments.

But the empress dowager figured it out by herself, so no one could argue with her, Aunt Wuya only had: Ah, yes, yes, that's right, that's the kind of agreement.

But Aunt Wu Ya has served the Queen Mother a lot, and she knows her physical condition better than she herself.

The Empress Dowager was born as a court lady, and she was very good at needlework. When she was favored, she often made personal items for the late emperor.It's an honor, and it's also a sign of being favored. Of course, the queen mother must do it urgently, but it is actually very tiring for the eyes.

Moreover, needlework is easy to get addicted to. When you sink into it, you will forget to be tired. When you look up, you will find that you are dizzy and your neck is sore.

At this time, Aunt Wu Ya hurriedly said something, trying to distract the Queen Mother's attention and let her focus slowly.

"The empresses of each palace will distribute all the rewards to the newcomers. Does the empress know what the imperial concubine gave to the nobleman?"

The queen mother also knew that Aunt Wu Ya was doing it for her own good, so she followed her words and temporarily put down the work in hand: "It's nothing more than ordinary items such as clothing and decorations."

After the newlyweds formally greeted the empress and noble concubine that day, they did not receive the meeting ceremony in time - it was only because the queen mother had something to do that day and did not see the newcomers.

If the queen mother doesn't reward, the queen and others will stand still.

Now that she, as the empress dowager, has set the tone and rewarded the satin, it is estimated that all palaces will follow.

Aunt Wu Ya made a gesture: "The imperial concubine gave you decorations, not ordinary table screens, kang screens, wishful vases, etc., but two big fish made of gold."
