[Qing wear] Harem promotion expert

Qiushuang wondered for a while before she figured it out. She couldn't help feeling that sister Qiuxue was stronger than herself.

Her mind turned quickly: when her family members met at Shunzhen Gate, they also mentioned that there were extra caregivers in the mother's house.She should also ask her parents to pay more attention——Qiu Shuang is the eldest daughter in the family, and her siblings are too young to be useful. Qiu Shuang decided to open the book and kiss her father. The younger siblings are still young, so you have to work hard on your own!

If their family also wants to serve, presumably the wife will not refuse.After all, only Sister Qiuxue's family is responsible for delivery, not to mention the low frequency, it is easy for the family to dominate, and with my own family, it must be better for the two to stagger.

Qiu Shuang has already planned to hand in her own father as a certificate of honor.

She and Qiuxue were in the middle of the matter, but they didn't realize how much their mentality had changed: a year ago, they were just unwilling to accept the mediocre status quo that could not see the end, and tried to take risks, and then they came to the side of Mr. Xingui and the Yonghe Palace.

But in less than a year, they had already trusted Jiang Heng so much that they not only trusted themselves, they were more willing to take the initiative to tie the whole family to Jiang Heng.

They didn't realize it themselves, but Jiang Heng felt it.

The various visible and invisible changes brought about by his rapid promotion are by no means limited to the material changes mentioned above.The entire Yonghe Palace became more cohesive, and Jiang Heng was very happy to see this change.

After arranging the transportation process, Jiang Heng did not forget to mention one more sentence to the Juercha family: "Emiang, gold and silver lockets are fine, you must not bring in other things. The last time the emperor was angry and thoroughly investigated the harem, there was a decree. It is not allowed to bring private belongings into the palace anymore, and now the Shunzhen gate is very strict."

Jue Ercha said: "Don't worry, Er Niang will save you, and I won't cause you any trouble."

After talking about the business, Juercha talked about family affairs with his daughter to reassure her.

Jue Ercha told her: "Long live God's will, your Ama has arrived in the Huaihe River and continues to manage the river there. There are limited family letters, and he doesn't write much—even if I write too much, I don't." Understand his official affairs. Anyway, he obeys the orders of the Long Live Lord and works hard. "

Then he said: "I think everyone in the palace knows that the Fourteenth Master has been summoned back to Beijing. But there is one thing, I'm afraid you don't know, I tell you. After the Fourteenth Master returned to Beijing, he even asked Fujin to go to Beijing in person The door of our family would like to thank you, and said that you, Ama, have been very helpful in the past six months. It was a matter of duty, and the king of Xun County was so solemn, but it made our family panic. You saw the fourteen Fujin in the palace during the New Year's Eve , don't forget to take the initiative to be polite to Fujin, and talk more modestly."

Jue Ercha's chatter was endless, it could be seen that there were all kinds of worries, and she wished that in one hour, she would entrust her daughter with all the worldly wisdom of her life.

Jiang Heng was in a daze for a moment, as if he saw his parents - they were like this, they thought she was a cub when they got old.

At that time, she left her hometown to go to work, and her parents told her many times how to heat up meals to be healthier, remember to lock the door and check the main gas valve when living alone at night, and don’t forget to share some special snacks with colleagues at home when she returns home. .It seems that she still goes to school with her schoolbag on her back, and receives pocket money from her parents to buy snacks and share with the children at the same table.

Jiang Heng's tears wet his eyelashes unconsciously.

In Jue Ercha's familiar voice, it was time for the concubines to see their family members, and the maid in charge of leading the way outside knocked on the door softly: "The servant is ordered to send the wife out of the palace."

Jueercha got up very quickly, and refused to show a soft and hesitant look, so as not to let the maids led by the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside see her reluctantly, and it seemed that she was worried about her daughter being in the royal family (although she was really worried): "Mistress, take care of everything."

Jiang Heng got up and sent Jue Ercha to the door.

The little maid of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very clever, knowing that the concubine bids farewell to her family, it is the most sad, and she must not rush at this time.Not only did she not urge her, but she even took two steps back and stood at the gate, keeping a safe distance where she couldn't hear private conversations.

No matter how tense Jue Ercha's face was, he was reluctant to give up, and finally quickly grabbed his daughter's hand and touched it: "Go back quickly, it's cold outside." Holding back tears, he said: "You are much thinner than when you were at home. , but take good care of it.”

Jiang Heng almost cried.

The mother is like this, seeing her child is really thinner than last time every time, almost as thin as a lightning bolt and as thin as a yellow flower.

In fact, Jiang Heng would measure his circumference every now and then, and she was exactly the same as when she first entered the palace.

But in the eyes of his own mother, Jue Ercha, her daughter must have endured hardships when she entered the palace. Look, she is about to lose weight.

Seeing off the Juercha clan, Jiang Heng had a bit of a sad New Year's Day.

She thought of her parents. In that world, she must have died young by accident.Because it was lost in an accident in the company, there should be a large amount of work-related compensation.There is also a younger sister who can accompany her at home-of course, no matter what kind of comfort, it will certainly not be able to fully compensate for the pain of the parents' loss of a daughter.

But the accident comes before tomorrow, and people have to bear it.

She was extremely lucky to be able to travel through a book and continue to live on her own will in another timeline.

Always have a good life.

After Jiang Heng met Jue Ercha, he aroused the sadness of family affection, but it was still limited.

Jue Ercha's family is different. Once seeing her daughter, she just feels like a knife is piercing her heart.A girl who is as big as a pearl like a jade, was originally asked by their husband and wife to be gentle, kind and incomprehensible.As a result, he just entered the palace and did not turn around for another year, and became such a careful and self-reliant person—not to say that it is not good, of course this change is good. Mrs. Jue Ercha is more happy than anyone else to see her daughter become independent. The heart also let go of half.

But at the same time relieved, but also distressed to death.

When the children grow up, it is nothing more than being beaten. I know it hurts after experiencing the wind and rain outside. When I find that no one is coaxing and patting, I have to stand up with tears and have to learn to walk carefully from now on. Just fall.

Jue Ercha held back from the beginning to the end in the palace, and perfunctoryly put it away for more than a hour.

Even before going out of the palace, when I went to visit the Empress Dowager with the little palace maid from the House of Internal Affairs, she was very slick, and her speech was very appropriate, expressing respect to the two palaces and their family and even the Guerjia clan, and to the royal family's selection of her daughter to enter the palace as a concubine , This year I was promoted to the main position again, thank you for your grace, I am very grateful.

But when he got out of the palace gate and finally boarded his own carriage to leave the Forbidden City, Jue Ercha covered his face with a handkerchief and wept heartily.

What kind of glory, my daughter is fighting for her life inside!

If according to the grace obtained from the late emperor, the daughter should still be at home to be married - they are reluctant to let their daughter get married, so they have to stay for two more years.There are also princesses in the palace who marry in their 20s, so that many of them in Beijing have married late in recent years. Naturally, their family also made this calculation. It must be more comfortable in the boudoir than married.

If they want to marry, they must be the good uncle they have chosen from thousands of people. The two families move around a lot, and they are still common girls.

Now it's all in vain.

After crying for a while, Jueercha asked the maid to take out the target mirror, and she was going to make up for it, so as not to show her description when she returned to the mansion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the powder box, before she could dip the silk sponge in the powder, the carriage shook violently.

The well-trained maid could not help but let out a low voice, and subconsciously came up to protect Jue Ercha: "Madam be careful."

Fortunately, the carriage only swayed and did not overturn, so personal safety was unharmed.It's just that the box of light powder in Juercha's hand flew all over her head and face.So much so that the whole person is particularly like the big nuts sprinkled with a layer of powdered sugar in the fruit plate for hospitality during the Chinese New Year.

It happened that the servant girl was still holding the target mirror, at this moment Jue Ercha saw his own appearance in the mirror and couldn't help being furious. While dusting himself with a handkerchief, he asked the servant girl to go out and reprimand the coachman.

The maid also hurriedly poked her head out and scolded: "Madam is inside! You guys are so careless!" If it weren't for the first day of the new year, many unlucky words could not be spoken, and this somewhat aggressive big maid would start scolding.

"What is the reason?"

In the first month, the carriages for the palace were prepared, but the elites in the carriages of the mansion.It has also been checked many times earlier, and there can be no damage or malfunction.Regardless of Guanbao's current status as the governor or the previous official position of the governor, his wife Jue Ercha has already given him a first-rank imperial order, and the carriage he rides into the palace is two horses parallel, which should be quite safe.

Jue Ercha suspected that the coachman had stolen wine during the first month, and that's why he broke the car.

Unexpectedly, when the servant girl asked, Jue Ercha was even more annoyed when she learned the truth than she thought the coachman was stealing alcohol: it was not two miles away from the Forbidden City, at the feet of Emperor Chunchun, someone came up to squeeze her car, which led to her family's death. The driver was unable to dodge in time, so he nearly overturned.

"See which one it is!"

The servant girl asked again and came back to report: "It's the Nian's family... the carriage system of the third-class lady is four horses parallel, and deliberately bumped into it, and our family's carriage wobbled."

Jue Ercha was overwhelmed and calmed down.

That's right, before this year, Nian Gengyao, governor of Qingshan, wrote a letter requesting to return to Beijing to face the saint, and the emperor approved it.Governor Nian returned to Beijing with his wife and two sons, and it is said that he was rushing to the capital that he had just arrived a few years ago.

When the emperor first came to the throne, he was really kind to the Nian family. It was not a big deal to confer the title of noble concubine to the Nian family and raise the flag for the Nian family. He even gave Nian Gengyao a third-class title to comfort him for his meritorious service in Qinghai. .

The Nian family was really gracious.

Before Mrs. Jue Ercha went to Yonghe Palace today, she also met Mrs. Nian Gengyao in the Queen's Palace.

Mrs. Nian naturally wanted to see Concubine Nian.However, the queen only said that the concubine's feet should be grounded, and she didn't agree for a while.

When Jueercha left the queen's palace, he saw that Mrs. Nian was still sitting there refusing to leave, obviously she wanted to continue to torture the queen.

At that time, Jueercha thought it was ridiculous: before the imperial concubine was the assistant concubine of the Sixth Palace, but this year she just made a mistake, and it was the mistake of passing things privately inside and outside the palace. In order to avoid suspicion, it should be the empress who generously allowed Mrs. Nian to go See Nian concubine, she will not go either.

Whoever wants to say that the queen is not sure, Mrs. Nian still looks like I won't leave.

It's true that the whole family doesn't come into the house, Jue Ercha has heard her husband talk about Nian Gengyao's arrogance, and now it seems that his wife is not much worse.

Jean Jue Ercha said: "It's all because the emperor is spoiled."

I heard that when the emperor was in the palace, he treated the Nian family as if he were in-laws, and put aside the serious in-law Ulanara.In the year after ascension to the throne, the Nian family was honored and honored continuously. No wonder the Nian family thought highly of themselves, it was really the emperor who raised them high enough.

When Mrs. Jueercha was in the palace, she was still lamenting Mrs. Nian's audacity. Who would have imagined that everyone would drive at her in a carriage now.

Returning to the mansion full of anger, Mrs. Jueercha didn't go to wash up first, but instead had someone carry the sedan chair to the upper east room to greet the old man and the old lady.

No matter how much she talks about the domineering of the Nian family, it's better to let the old man see for himself.

People say that an old family is like a treasure, and the same is true in their family - Guan Bao was able to become such a high-ranking official in his 40s, and his background is also indispensable.

Born as the second generation of top officials, basically he has made a name in front of the late emperor since he was studying.

The old man used to be an official to the first rank, and he was a great official in the frontier.Before he took office, the old man was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he was in charge of the thoroughfare of shipping.All Dutch, English and other countries who come to Guangdong and Guangxi to do maritime business must pay homage to his wharf.Often dealing with foreign countries, the old man's thinking is very general.

In the words of his old man, he has seen more foreigners than his grandson has eaten.

He even boasts that he will never be shocked: he has seen all kinds of blond people, all kinds of pirates with hooked noses and one eyes and even hooked hands.

The old man said that no appearance will surprise me.

However, the old man was surprised today: his eldest daughter-in-law, who has always been dignified and never loses his composure in front of others, came in like a icing fruit.

The old man couldn't even control the shaking of his hand, and all the good snuff bottles fell off, which made him very distressed.

Fortunately, the old couple loves to be quiet, and there are only a few old servants who are used to doing things at home to serve in the east room, and they don't talk much.

"Is there something wrong with the empress in the palace?" The old man asked directly.

It shouldn't be, the granddaughter has been in the palace for less than a year, and she was promoted to the main position this year ahead of the previous year, isn't it a good time?

The Jue Ercha family also made the Nian family hit a real fire. In terms of official positions, Guan Bao and Nian Gengyao are now equal governors, okay? Mrs. Nian's carriage collided like this?Presumably, after knowing that Guerjia's daughters entered the palace, their mothers fell out of favor, and even downgraded their status, so they wanted to vent their anger and physically squeeze them.

The Nian family has no one in their eyes!

"Your Majesty is doing well in the palace. It seems that her temperament has grown better than at home, and she can take care of herself." Mrs. Jueercha is a smart person, and she doesn't need to be questioned by her elders and talk shyly, but she is like a torch , Dodd said everything that happened today, and then began to explain his accident.

"It's not that the daughter-in-law doesn't care about face, it's that the fine powder in the officialdom is getting better and better. If it falls on the face and hair, unless it is carefully washed with water, it will be difficult to sweep it off. If you go back to take a bath and change clothes, I'm afraid the old man and the old lady will be in a hurry I have to talk about things in the palace first."

Fortunately, it was winter, and he entered the door with a hood to cover his face slightly, so that the servants could not see it too much.

Hearing that Nian's family had acted so madly, the old man snorted several times.

The old lady gave him a blank look: "Guanbao is not at home, you are making up your own mind, isn't our family easy to bully? Don't talk about cooking methods, but hum a little song? Even if you sing a whole episode, it won't count." !"

"What are you talking about? You can't live without doing your own crimes, so there's nothing else to say. You'll find out later. Nian Gengyao has a wild temper. He was aggrieved at the fact that Long Live God took his authority in Sichuan and Gansu, but he didn't want these places to be The emperor's is not his, so why should he be wronged?"

"Long Live Lord was already beating him. If he is wise and good-natured, he can stay in Qinghai and do his duty. Who would have thought that he would take the injustice for himself, and even handed over a booklet to go back to Beijing to 'greeting'! Isn't this a matter of official position? Is it more important than the safety of the border?!"

The old man snorted coldly and didn't stop: "If the emperor doesn't allow him to come back, it's fine to order him to stick to Qinghai. It means that even though the Sacred Heart is dissatisfied, he still needs to be used. But the emperor just allowed him to return to Beijing. Hehe, after this year is over In [-], whether he can go back and continue to be the governor or not!"

His old man's vision is different from that of people in Beijing.

I don't think the emperor allowed Nian Gengyao to return to Beijing, it was because of his tolerance to Nian's family that he allowed Nian Gengyao to go back to Beijing to defend himself, and let him go back to Beijing to contact relatives and friends to intercede for him.

I'm afraid it will be discarded.

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the fire, trees and silver flowers in the palace are brightly lit, and there are red confetti in many places that have not been swept away in the future, making the Forbidden City lively and lively.

It was no worse than the Lantern Festival that Jiang Heng saw in his previous life.

The grand banquet on New Year's Eve in the palace has always lasted the longest, and it will take a year to finish.On the first day of the new year, all the palaces are very busy, and there is no rest during the day.

Therefore, on the night of the first day of the lunar new year, although the harem banquet continued to be held in the living room of the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Palace, since the empress, everyone was exhausted. After drinking New Year's wine and wishing the empress a long life, everyone soon dispersed.

When Jiang Heng returned to Yonghe Palace, he saw that the hands of the clock were less than eight o'clock.

The palace people were already ready and waiting for her to come back.

"Send money, send money." The performance of the new department in the first year is very good, and it has just expanded. Is it reasonable not to send some lucky money on the first day of the new year?Jiang Heng asked Qiu Xue to bring all the purses she had prepared earlier.

With a smile, Qiu Xue took out a rather heavy rattan box with a red ribbon tied on it.

The palace people gathered together in a room, their cheeks were glowing red with the light of the fire, and they were very happy for the New Year. They all looked forward to seeing the concubine Xin cut the red ribbon and took out the purses one by one.

The palace servants who were in the Yonghe Palace before were given 20 taels of silver for the new year, while the newcomers received [-] taels of silver.

Because this was the first New Year's Eve when he became a concubine, Jiang Heng specially took the silver and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make special-shaped silver clasps—a book made of silver, and a writing brush made of silver with the length of a finger.

book and pen.

Jiang Heng just wanted to tell them clearly: knowledge can be realized, and I hope everyone will continue to study hard.She herself was not prepared to end up as a concubine, and the palace people around her naturally couldn't end up with a rough knowledge of writing and only simple bookkeeping.

Now that the Yonghe Palace literacy class has successfully completed, there will be a series of group study plans waiting for them in the future.

Those who can come to the Yonghe Palace, in Zhang Yuzhu's words, are all clever people with a bit of spirit, and they all quickly understand the spiritual meaning that they will unite and work hard to study and continue to make progress.

"Yesterday I stayed up all night. Madam, drink a bowl of hot milk and sleep."

Jiang Heng nodded to Qiu Xue, and did not forget to say: "Don't put sugar."

Qiuxue pursed her lips and smiled: "My servant remembers that the empress is different from other people. She eats milk and doesn't like the sweetness cooked with ghee and sugar."

Jiang Heng has no shortage of sugar in his stomach, no matter in his previous life or in this life. Just like many residents of Tuchao, he feels that many foreign desserts are too sweet to eat. Only "not very sweet" is the high recognition of desserts.

But the ancients were different, not to mention the ancients. Jiang Heng still remembers the generation of his grandparents, who still loved sweets and heavy oils. It was really hard when he was young.

So are the palace people.

Jiang Heng separated the milk in the concubine's portion. Her own bowl was boiled separately without sugar at all, while the other was boiled into a large vat of sweet milk with several spoonfuls of sugar.

She drank at most one bowl of milk a day, and the remaining big can would be wasted if she didn't make milk-flavored snacks.

How good it is to share them all and not waste anything.

Moreover, there are many places for palace people to run errands during the New Year's Eve. Although they are wearing thick cotton clothes, they are cold and tired. At night, everyone drinks a bowl of sweet milk, so that they can have a good sleep because it is fragrant and sweet.

Qiuxue and the others got used to it, but the newcomers were a little unbelievable. The maid Qiuxia pulled Qiushuang and asked, "My good sister, did you just give us the milk in the master's share?"

Qiu Shuang nodded: "You will know in the future. The rules of our Yonghe Palace are like this. Your empress gave it, you can use it with peace of mind. But you can't just rely on the master's kindness, and have some crooked thoughts on your own to misappropriate things in the palace. What, the master will never forgive me."

Several newcomers nodded quickly.

The new Qiuxia saw that the milk was covered with a layer of milk skin, and the bowl was as smooth as fat. Although she swallowed a little, she thought about flattering her sister, so she gave it to Qiushuang to drink.

Qiu Shuang smiled and said: "Hurry up and drink. We all passed the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At that time, the monthly regulations and good things had to be filial to the mother and the aunts and sisters who were in charge of you. But in our palace, oppression and deduction are not allowed at will. Someone else's. There is still a small book with the master. Whoever made a mistake deserves credit, and remember it clearly."

After taking a sip, Qiuxia was pleasantly surprised to find that the milk was not only full of fragrance, but also sweet!

The milk with added sugar is still white in color, so it can be seen that what the master puts is not the cheap maltose and brown sugar, but the finest white sugar.

Qiuxia took a sip of it cherishingly, and felt warm all over.

On the evening of the first day of the new year, it is full of desire and energy for the new year.

That sweet feeling seeped into my heart.

Jiang Heng drinks milk to supplement calcium and enhance sleep quality, but he doesn't really like drinking it.

Moreover, the room was full of charcoal fires, so she was even more reluctant to drink hot milk, so she simply asked Qiu Xue to bring a bowl of milk outside, freeze the milk into milk ice, and then slowly beat it into small pieces with a walnut hammer. Eat, just to suppress the anger in this room.

At this time, she was eating milk ice and listening to Qiu Xue.

"Mrs. Nian has been dawdling with Empress Empress for a long time today, but she failed to go to Yikun Palace to see Concubine Nian. I heard from the little palace maid who led the way from the House of Internal Affairs that Mrs. Nian looked very pale when she left the palace."

At this time, Jiang Heng only listened to this as gossip, and didn't know that his mother-in-law was being blamed by the angry Mrs. Nian for leaving the car.

"Although the Lord Long Live only said that the feet should be banned, he didn't explicitly say that the mother's family is not allowed to visit, but who would twist the meaning of the Lord Long Live to do it."

The two of them talked about the title of the Nian family.

In fact, there are really many Manchurian families with noble titles.

Because there are too many ranks of titles in the Qing Dynasty, there are a total of 27 titles, and it is not very difficult to obtain titles, so titles are not so rare.

The imperial court often won titles when there were wars, and even if they did not fight, they could continue to be awarded titles if they did a good job as civil servants. I haven't heard of any outstanding battles with Zhongtang, and there are even stories of losing embarrassingly and requiring Agui to save the game.

It can be seen that as long as the emperor favors him, he can jump straight to the seventeenth rank of title and go straight to the full rank of first-class prince.

Now Guan Bao also has a title of title, and the plaques hung in the mansion are not the plaques of the general or the governor, but the Viscount's mansion according to the title.

The old man was a third-class earl back then, and when he was passed on to Guanbao, he became a third-class viscount, a big drop.And after years of hard work by Guan Bao, he has successfully promoted himself from the third-class viscount to the first-class viscount—it is estimated that when the governor of Zhihe successfully completes his task, he will be able to take back Ama's earlship and the plaque in the mansion. Change it back.

Maybe even a higher level, not just a third-class earl's mansion, but a second-class or even a first-class earl.

Anyway, Guan Bao is not very old, he wants to continue to struggle, it is best to get a marquis or even a duke himself, so that there will be room for his descendants to descend to the duke!

Today, when Jue Ercha talked about his family’s short-lived family, he also vaguely meant this: “At first, I thought that the title was for my son, and when you, Ama, got old, it would be all right to get a title and pass it on to your elder brother, but now, You, Ama, are thinking of you, so you should do something more."

Before Jiang Heng could say anything, she said again: "Don't worry, you, Ama, are old-fashioned and will not rush forward. As he said, everything will be done with Prince Yi and Mr. Zhang Tingyu. Long live God values ​​those two most, it must be There is a reason."

Jiang Heng was relieved at that time: follow the pace of Prince Yi, then it will be stable.

She is still very confident in her first-grade Ama.

Now that Jiang Heng knew Guan Bao's promotion history, he was in tears when he found out that this first-rank Ama was promoted faster than she won a class leader in elementary school.

This New Year's Day, although it was a little sad, but overall, I had a good time.

Jiang Heng used one sentence to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, that is: the future can be expected.
