The Queen of the Red Chamber is a little flustered

Time flies, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now spring has just begun, and the winter jasmine flowers in the palace are only blooming.

On this day, Tu Mingjin went to the court early in the morning, Gu Qinyuan hugged the brocade quilt, she had already lost sleepiness, sat for a while, and then called the little palace maid who was guarding the door to come in.

The maid in charge who was serving by her side was married off by her as early as two years ago. Now facing these fresh and tender girls, Gu Qinyuan can't help feeling that youth is fleeting, but then she thinks about Yonghao three or four years later. It's time to marry a daughter-in-law every year, and it seems that there is nothing to regret.

Yonghao had just turned fifteen last year, and Tu Mingjin decreed to make him the crown prince. The government and the public were neither surprised nor objected. In short, it was a joyful time, and Yonghao became the third prince since the founding of Daqi. Of course, everyone Everyone understands that this prince is different from those two.

His Royal Highness, who has just been released from the cage, is still very stable. After consulting the Taifu for homework in the Shangshufang every day, he goes to the Yushufang to learn the way of being a king with Tu Mingjin, and he can go out of the palace to pick up his sister from school in his spare time. By the way, I will buy some exquisite jewelry hairpins and the like to make the women at home happy.

Gu Qinyuan couldn't help but smile when thinking that Yonghao would bring back some large and small jewelry boxes every time he went out of the palace.

Just smiling, the little eunuch outside said that several highnesses had come down, Gu Qinyuan hurriedly said: "Let them in quickly."

Xi'er came in first, a little girl who was almost ten years old, dressed in a goose yellow dress, her appearance was unearthly and unparalleled, she smiled slightly, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, adding a bit of cuteness and cuteness.

"Mother." Xi'er saluted with a smile.

Gu Qinyuan beckoned her to sit beside her, and when she looked sideways, she saw two little radish heads, one green and one red.

Wearing Tsing Yi is the youngest Yong Ang, the most gentle temperament, very sensible at a young age.

And the other one in red is Xiaosi Yongmin.

"Mother, let's see how the son has changed today?" Yong Min came closer, very obedient.

When Gu Qinyuan heard the words, she took a closer look, the five-year-old boy, with the first glimpse of beauty in his eyes, was wearing a favorite red dress, with a jade pendant and a purse around his waist. As for the others, Gu Qinyuan shook her head.

Yongmin pursed his lips, "Didn't the mother realize that her son has become more attractive again?" His tone was a bit aggrieved.

Gu Qinyuan supported her forehead and looked at him helplessly, "I don't know whether I gave birth to a daughter or a son?" How can a man be so stinky?

Xi'er laughed softly, and a trace of ridicule flashed in her eyes, "There was Pan Anweijie in the past, and now there is Tushi Yongmin. Our little four will surely be famous in history like those handsome men in the future."

Yongmin heard the meaning behind her sister's words, but didn't dare to talk back, fearing being beaten by her father and elder brother, so she could only mutter in a low voice: "I must be prettier than them."

Seeing the youngest son's aggrieved appearance, Gu Qinyuan felt it was funny. Who would have thought that the beautiful Yongmin was actually a simple-minded person.

Xi'er also felt that the little brother was being bullied too much, so she raised her hand and touched his head, and said softly: "Didn't you say that you want to find the paintings of Qingping Sanren from the previous dynasty, the elder brother's attendant found the original works a few days ago, and we will find them later Go to the East Palace." Saying that, he looked at Yong Ang, "Yong Ang is going too."

Yong Ang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said happily: "Okay."

Yong Min was also very happy, thinking that it would be great if Brother Mo could give him a painting.

Gu Qinyuan watched them play with a smile, and suddenly remembered what Tu Mingjin mentioned last night, "Your father said that you will go to Jiangnan by boat in March to play."

"Really?" The three children looked at Gu Qinyuan together and asked.

Gu Qinyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's golden words, how could they not count?"

Of course, for Yu Tu Mingjin, going to Jiangnan was not for fun.

Daqi has changed a lot in the past five years, if you don't go out for a long time, you may feel unfamiliar.

Shipping and northern weaving brought a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to the imperial court, and the treasury was full. Today's Minister of the Ministry of Finance walks with style and confidence.

The court has money, and now it can do things that it didn't dare to do before.

Didn't the Ministry of Industry think about textile machines a few years ago?Several craftsmen came up with the idea of ​​using water power instead of manpower, and finally let them do it.

Although this method is not new and is not very useful in the north, Tu Mingjin still praised them in the court and exempted them from their craftsmanship.

Everyone in the Ministry of Industry was greatly encouraged. The Shangshu and the servants made a private discussion and decided to go this way in the future. Don't always think about retirement in the Ministry of Industry. Who is not ambitious?

Not to mention, the Ministry of Industry has really made some good things that benefit the people after all the hard work.

When Gu Qinyuan heard about this, she was still a little dazed for a while, but it was not surprising when she thought about the Mohism in the pre-Qin period.

Because of this, Gu Qinyuan dug out some things from her previous life memories, cement and rubber, she didn't know the specific formula, but she still remembered limestone and rubber trees.

Gu Qinyuan and Tu Mingjin mentioned a word by virtue of Xumijiazi's name.

After a few points, the Ministry of Industry actually made it.

A flat road, and a carriage with rubber wheels, now you don't have to suffer from bumps when you drive.

Gu Qinyuan reckons that if this continues, Daqi will probably start the industrial revolution earlier than the other side of the mainland.

Of course, it's still early to say this, and it's just beginning to sprout.

As for the improvement of the status of women, it has also been quite effective.

In the sixth year of Xuanping, there were already three women's academies in the capital, and other provincial capitals also had a women's school. Now, people with a little wealth will send their daughters to the academies. After all, most of the girls have studied in women's schools. , if your family didn't go, the marriage of the daughter in the family will be lower in the future.

Women are educated and understand their own status more clearly. In addition, many women in the common people are now able to earn money to support themselves. Bit by bit, women's status has gradually improved.

In addition, Gu Qinyuan also registered the women with the best grades in the academy as female officials. Because they only manage the charitable halls and sales homes in the capital, they did not touch the sensitive nerves of those "adults". Even because of this heavy status, those little girls are quite popular in the capital.

If they were really astute people, they would still notice this kind of work like a mill, but seeing His Majesty secretly supporting the Empress, those people shut up by themselves.

The land of Gyeonggi has changed a lot, and Jiangnan is no exception. This time, Tu Mingjin just wanted to go to the south to see it for himself.

The three children were so excited when they learned that they had a place in the south of the Yangtze River, they didn't stay in the Qianqing Palace, and quickly returned to their residence to pack the cages.

After Yongxu practiced martial arts, he went to Qianqing Palace and didn't see his siblings, so he was a little confused.

Travel arrangements are handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so Gu Qinyuan only needs to worry about the Queen Mother and the children.

His Majesty's southern tour, the capital will naturally have someone guarding it, Yong Hao, Tu Minglang and the Fourth Prince will stay in the capital.

Going out to play is a happy thing, but Gu Qinyuan can't help worrying when she thinks that Yong Hao, who is not very old, will support the court alone.

Yonghao smiled and comforted him: "I'm always under the wings of my father, when will my son be able to experience it?" He said, holding Gu Qinyuan's shoulders, and said softly, "The mother has been in the capital for these years, and it is hard to go out. Look at the scenery elsewhere, naturally you should be happy."

Gu Qinyuan raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and sighed after a long time, "My mother knows your ambition, and I only hope that you will not work too hard in the future." Being an emperor, especially a good emperor, is not that simple. She could see how she worked so hard.

Yonghao lowered his eyes and hummed.

In mid-March, the mighty team set off from the capital. Because they traveled by water, everyone boarded the boat when they reached the canal.

No child living in the palace has ever seen a big river, even Gu Qinyuan has only seen a moat in her life.

Several children cheered outside, and Gu Qinyuan drank tea with the queen mother in the cabin.

"It is said that making tea with the water in the middle of the river has a special flavor, but I see that the people on both banks live by the river, and they don't know what's in the river?" The Queen Mother snorted.

The maid serving beside her covered her mouth and smiled, and Gu Qinyuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't worry, the queen mother, this water is from the mountain spring prepared earlier." The queen mother has looked like an old child in recent years, and she would not say this before.

The Queen Mother felt relieved, and curled her lips in disgust, "Isn't it because Lao Qi and Lao Ba have been fishing on the boat for the past two days, and Lao Ba is still clamoring for some river water to make tea."

Tu Mingjin and the Eighth Prince fished, but they didn't catch a single one, but Yongxu put a fishing rod at random, and caught a big fish without much thought.

In the evening, Tu Mingjin ate the fish his son Xiaojing had, and Gu Qinyuan couldn't help laughing when he thought of the awkward expression on his face, and hurriedly picked up the teacup to cover up his smile.

The queen mother also thought of this, and immediately laughed.

After a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law slowed down.

The fleet didn't move fast, and the children withered after staying on board for a few days. If it wasn't for a wave of stops when they docked, I'm afraid they all wanted to go back to Beijing.

Yong Min leaned against the Empress Dowager's arms with a pale face, the red mole between his eyebrows seemed to have lost color, that pitiful appearance made the Empress Dowager feel distressed like something.

"Grandmother's Yongmin, this time he has suffered a great crime." The queen mother lovingly touched Yongmin's little face, and hurriedly ordered the maid, "Hurry up and get candied fruit for Yongmin's sweet mouth, and serve a few bowls of steamed rice with sugar." Here comes the crispy cheese, don’t let Xi’er and Yong Ang starve.” Then he asked Yong Xu, “Is there anything Xiao Er wants to eat?”

Yong Hao just waved his hand, saying no, the Empress Dowager still asked someone to bring over steamed buns made of tofu skin, the second grandson loved this most, and had already asked the kitchen to prepare it.

Yongmin smashed his mouth, "Grandmother, Yongmin wants to eat candied haws, can you ask the kitchen to make more? My sister and third brother also want to eat."

Xi'er's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she nodded reservedly, and gave Yongmin an appreciative look.

Yong Ang looked at his sister and brother, then turned his head to look at Gu Qinyuan, and smiled at her.

Gu Qinyuan rubbed the center of her eyebrows, "Each person can only eat two."

Yongmin and Xi'er were a little disappointed, but they obediently agreed. Yong Ang didn't like eating this much, and thought about giving one to his sister and younger brother in the future.

After eating the delicious food, Yongmin also cheered up, chattering around Gu Qinyuan and asked, "Mother, is that aunt Lian's aunt? The elder brother said that the aunt's husband is Tanhualang, and the sister said that Tanhualang is the elder brother." If they look the best, don’t their children also look good?”

What else could Gu Qinyuan say, but she could only say, "Yes, yes." At the end, she added, "The Lin family has a fairy sister, see you later, don't scare people."

"It won't."

Lying on the bed at night, Yongmin was still thinking, whether the fairy sister is prettier than him?

The author has something to say: I'm jealous, I want to see the fairy sister~
