every spring [comprehensive]

Prince Yi Yinxiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, her little girl doesn't know how deep she is, and she doesn't know any other court officials except you and me. It must be nonsense. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."

But Baochai said persistently: "I'm not talking nonsense. The pulse condition can't fool me. No one taught me anything. I can see it myself. If you take good care of your majesty's hard work and take medicines in time, you can still stop it in time. If I continue to ignore the overdraft, there is nothing I can do about it.” No matter how tired I am, I will be exhausted, which is exactly what the people say.

These days, Yongzheng really felt that his energy was low, and his hands were shaking when he wrote.I'm so tired at night, sometimes when I look at the booklets, there are double images.He only thought that it would be all right to have a good rest and sleep one day, but he has never had time to take a good rest, one thing is pressing on another, and there are too many military affairs.Yongzheng is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, how can he let go of those things and go to rest alone, wishing he could deal with them all at once.

Seeing that Yongzheng was silent and kept silent, Yinxiang knew him very well, and said: "Fourth brother, is it true that what she said is true, you only sleep for an hour or two a night? The rest of the time is spent working hard at your desk? "

Yongzheng raised his head and glanced at him, as a tacit consent.

Yinxiang was struck by lightning: "What's wrong with this! You are a man of gold, and you can't finish reading the papers. Hundreds of thousands of officials from all provinces in the country submit papers every day. If you read them one by one, there has never been one since ancient times. Such a sage emperor!"

Yongzheng said: "I am diligent in political affairs not to pretend to be a sage, but to rectify the administration of officials, recover the Northwest, and restore the previous deficit of the national treasury!"

Yinxiang said: "Your Majesty is already a model of 'being diligent first'. No one in the Manchu Dynasty knows that His Majesty is 'working day and night'."

Yinxiang was also worried. He knew that Xue Baochai had excellent medical skills, and let her cure the leg disease that even the imperial physician could not cure. She would not scare the emperor's affairs.

It's just that because Yongzheng is the emperor, Xue Baochai can't directly ask Xue Baochai to make a diagnosis and treatment like Yinxiang, just take a look at the pulse and that's all.

Xue Baochai said: "Forgive me for my boldness. For those who do great things, the first thing is to take care of themselves. Proper rest is to take a longer journey."

She came to the table, wrote out the prescription of Jiuhua Yulu Pill, and said: "The prescription of my pill is here, Your Majesty and Thirteenth Master can take it to the imperial doctor for a good check, the medicinal materials are complete You don’t need to hand it over to me, just let them make it directly, and I have clearly written how to prepare the pills. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness can take it properly, and it will strengthen your body and prolong your life.” After finishing speaking, I'm about to say goodbye.

Yongzheng calmed down and said, "I'm not blaming you. Don't be afraid. You cured Thirteenth Brother's old illness and cared about his and my health out of the heart of a doctor. We should thank you."

Xue Baochai said: "Your Majesty is serious. You are working hard for the great affairs of the country. It is only natural that I can do my best."

Yongzheng thought about it again and suddenly asked: "By the way, have you received the mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Are they delicious?"

Baochai then thanked the mooncake reward last time: "I was flattered to receive the mooncakes from the emperor on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole family was happy. It's just because I don't have an official position, so I can't go to the palace to thank the emperor face to face. It can be added at this time."

Yongzheng nodded and waved his hands. Xue Baochai knew that she should retire at this time, but she stood there for a moment and did not leave directly.

Yinxiang said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, go to the backyard to play with Fujin and Gege." Seeing that Baochai hadn't moved, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xue Baochai said: "I heard that the Yellow River flooded this year, and the two sides of the bank have become a country, and countless people have been affected by the disaster."

Yinxiang looked at Yongzheng and saw that he was silent, so he said: "That's what happened. I didn't expect you to hear a lot of important national affairs at such a young age. The flood is ruthless. We are doing disaster relief recently. Worry, since you live in the uniquely blessed place of the capital, you can just be your eldest lady, and don't think about things far away."

Yongzheng frowned and said, "Yinxiang, let her finish." Yongzheng dealt with political affairs, and once he was used to hearing people talk about the most important things nowadays, he wanted to listen to him, but he didn't pay attention. Baochai is just a female stream.

Xue Baochai said: "I know that I am small and weak. I heard that the Yellow River is flooding. I just listen to it and worry about it. It's not as good as a river worker. I can't carry a sandbag to block the embankment. I can only do a little what I can. That's all."

Xue Baochai took out a few silver bills from her bosom, handed them to Yinxiang with both hands and said, "This is the silver I donated to the refugees of the Yellow River. It is the income of our Xue family for three years. Please pass it on to Your Majesty."

Yinxiang never thought that she would have such a move, even Yongzheng was quite surprised, after Yinxiang was stunned for a moment, he went to look at the bank note in his hand. Shocked, Yinxiang flipped through the 20 taels each, ten in total!Yinxiang said: "You?!"

Yong Zheng said: "It's hard for you to worry about the country and the people so much. I thank you on behalf of the people who suffered from the disaster of the Yellow River!"

Xue Baochai said: "It's just a little heart, I don't dare to accept your majesty's thanks, so I will take my leave first." So he went out.

There were only the two of them left in the room, and Yongzheng couldn't help but said: "See? A daughter of a businessman knows how to share the worries of the king! Knowing that one party is in trouble, she will help. Those corrupt officials in the court who eat vegetarian meals only Knowing how to get money from ordinary people! The disaster relief funds allocated by me, knowing that they are not enough, don’t know how much of them are in the hands of corrupt officials! No matter how much she donates, this kindness is very commendable! It’s a pity that she is a woman Otherwise, if you enter the court and become an official, I must entrust you with a heavy responsibility!"

Yongzheng said a lot of words passionately there, and felt that the old thirteen was not responding, so he turned his head to look at him, and found that Yinxiang was still staring at the bank note in a daze: "What's the matter, Thirteenth brother, you and those naughty gangsters You've been dealing with officials for a long time, but you haven't seen anyone who volunteered to donate money, right?"

Yinxiang said: "Fourth brother, I'm afraid the money for the relief of the Yellow River will be enough now."

Before Yongzheng understood what he meant, he saw a pair of bank notes that Yinxiang handed over in disbelief. After seeing the amount, Yongzheng couldn't help but stare, "By the way, she said it was their family's income for three years. Can you really earn so much money in business? I am a little jealous!"

When Yongzheng first took over the treasury when he took over the throne, although the treasury was in a serious deficit, the total treasury was only 700 million taels of silver!In addition to the 100 million previously allocated by the provinces, plus the 200 million taels of silver, the Yellow River disaster relief is enough for the time being!

Once so much money was donated, not to mention Yinxiang, even Yongzheng felt mixed feelings, and felt that Xue Baochai had been underestimated before.Who doesn't know that money is easy to spend, wouldn't it be better to keep it for yourself!None of the officials who have been fed up with the people's fat and anointment is willing to spit out some money to share the suffering of the Yellow River refugees.

Yinxiang knew what Yongzheng was thinking, and said: "Miss Xue's actions are really respectable, and it also reminded us that if we encounter such natural disasters in the future, why not solicit donations from officials!" Those officials did not take the initiative to donate. Yinzi, of course, does not mean that all officials are bad, maybe some people have such thoughts, but it is not easy to start.He donated it himself, but do you think others should donate it?If others don't want to donate, isn't that offending people?

Yongzheng pondered for a while and said: "I think it is feasible, so I will try it this time. It's just that the Xue family has no power and power, so it's better not to push them out. I heard that Lao Jiu has always been known as the Nine Gods of Wealth. No matter where If there is a way to make money, he will follow. You apportion this money to other places and send it to the disaster area, don't miss the real source, and cause trouble for her again."

Yinxiang said: "Your brother knows, let me handle this matter."

Entering September, the autumn is crisp, and it is the time when crab meat and fish are fat. Wang Xifeng's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it will start in another month. She is like this all day long in front of Jiamu. Mrs. Wang said: "Brother Feng should be given a good rest for a while. It would be too harsh to bother her about things at home and outside the house. If something goes wrong with her, wouldn't it hurt the baby in her belly?" Children, both of their mothers are useless."

Mrs. Wang apologized and said with a smile: "That's what I mean too. I'm just about to ask the old lady to show me. I'm getting old and useless, and my energy is getting shorter and shorter. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to manage housework. How about letting Zhu'er's daughter-in-law take care of it?"

Jia's mother said: "Zhu'er's daughter-in-law is good in everything, but she is not very powerful. I am afraid that she will not be able to control those old women who have been with us for a long time. Why don't we let Tan Yatou take care of things with her sister-in-law!"

When Mrs. Wang heard that Mother Jia wanted to flatter Tanchun, although she had some complaints in her heart, she still kept her face calm and said with a smile: "It's better for the old lady to assign it." After thinking about it, she said: "Both of them are As a novice, although Zhuer's daughter-in-law has been in charge for a while, I was mostly in charge at that time, she was the assistant, and she didn't have much experience. It's all up to her to handle it all by herself, it's better to let her help Zhang Zhangyan, and if there are any deficiencies, you can bring them up in time."

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help but think a lot, and after pondering for a while, she said: "Miss Bao is a foreigner after all. Even if she is a girl who gets close to her family on weekdays, she must be ashamed to take care of other people's affairs. You are an aunt, why don't you?" Don't be sympathetic to her!"

Mrs. Wang felt disapproving of what Jiamu said, so she didn't dare to say more, and said quickly: "The old lady is thoughtful, but I was confused for a while."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had softened, Mrs. Jia also softened her voice: "You might as well ask Miss Bao and her aunt to see if they are willing to bother."

Mrs. Wang should be.

Jia's mother said with a smile: "You should take more care of the family affairs, let Feng girl have a good rest, so that I can give birth to a great-grandson!"

Wang Xifeng was walking around the room at this time, and said with a smile after hearing this: "Then I will accept the old lady's auspicious words and add a great-grandson to you. !"

Wang Xifeng is willing to rest. It would be great if he could retreat from now on. The assets of the Jia family are not as good as before. Only a real steward knows that it is not easy to manage this big family, and he needs to be frugal everywhere, otherwise he will lose money in a few years After all the compensation has been paid, I am afraid that the major events of weddings and funerals in the future will be stretched.

Besides, Wang Xifeng hasn't done anything good as a housekeeper these years. She has saved a lot, and the servants said she was mean, and the old lady and the wife didn't have face.If she doesn't save money, seeing that the money that is about to bottom out, how will the hundreds of people in this big family live after it is spent!So she felt that the child came at the right time, and she gave her mother a kiss before it was born.

So within a few days, Wang Xifeng was handing over affairs with Li Wan Tanchun and others.

Mrs. Wang went to Mrs. Xue and asked Baochai if she could help Li Wan and Tanchun manage the housekeeper.

Since Mrs. Xue had an in-depth conversation with Baochai that day, she has always felt like an enemy to Mrs. Wang's every move towards Baochai.Hearing this is obviously overstepping. How can there be any reason to borrow a niece who lives here to help my uncle and aunt?The Jia family is not that impolite small family.Baochai is not like Lin Daiyu, whose parents have passed away, so she is completely in the Jia family.

Mrs. Xue glanced at Baochai, and Xue Baochai said: "To share the worries of my aunt, I shouldn't quit, but recently we have a lot of things at home, and we are a little too busy. For this reason, I have to pick up the brothers from my uncle's family. Sister-in-law and Tanchun are very good, if there is anything, the two of them will do enough to discuss it."

Mrs. Xue also said: "Seeing that the end of the year is not far away, Baochai is always busy at this time, and I often advise her not to get tired. I am also afraid that she will not be able to take care of the affairs of your house when she is young."

Mrs. Wang had already suffered a setback from Mrs. Jia, and she knew that Jia's mother didn't agree with it, so she was not very disappointed when Baochai said that she couldn't manage it.Said: "Then let Tanchun and her sister-in-law take care of it, and come to me if you can't solve it."

Mrs. Xue said: "I think, Miss Lin is also very clever. The housekeeper's affairs should not trouble her. Since she has nothing to do all day long, this elder sister only needs a caretaker. Why not use her?"

When Mrs. Wang heard Mrs. Xue mentioning Lin Daiyu, she said, "Her? This Miss Lin is naturally good, but she is a sick Xishi. The old lady does not let her be tired like a baby. She can make two needlework pieces a year. It's limited, not to mention that it requires daily labor, and I don't dare to mention her, even if I mention it, the old lady must be different."

Xue Baochai listened on the sidelines, and felt that this mother Jia was the culprit for doting on her children. She didn't let them do anything, and she was reluctant to bear Baoyu's study and Daiyu's hard work, so naturally others had to do these things.

Besides, Wang Xifeng handed over the power of housekeeping, and she didn't want to be bored at home. She has always been a hot-tempered character. As long as her body can move, she doesn't want to stay in one place. Before the weather cools down, she often goes to the garden. Walk around, chat with their sisters, or go to their poetry club.

During this period, those servants went back and forth to work with Tanchun and Li Wan. If they saw Wang Xifeng there, they would be as obedient as quails.

So Tanchun often dragged Wang Xifeng into the garden, saying that although she is now sealed with a gold seal, the residual prestige is still there, and Wang Xifeng also enjoys the deterrent effect, so she often stays in the garden for a day.

As long as Jia Lian leaves Wang Xifeng, troubles will inevitably happen, besides, he still can't tell the good from the bad, as long as he is more handsome, he will bring him by his side.Of course, Jia Lian is not a lustful fool either, the companions he finds are all servant girls or servant girls whose status he can control.On this day, he drank some wine outside, and when Wang Xifeng entered the garden and was not at home, he thought that she would stay at least until dinner as usual, so he boldly invited his friend to come home.

But unfortunately, Wang Xifeng suddenly felt a little unwell in her stomach, so she left the garden early and came home, catching Jia Lian.

Seeing that Jia Lian was so shameless and bold that he even brought her into the house, Wang Xifeng was going crazy. She was usually articulate.Not to mention that because of her pregnancy, everyone has recently made her more unscrupulous, scolding Jia Lian so much that she can't hold her head up.

Jia Lian was ashamed and ashamed, drank a few more cups of yellow soup, strengthened her courage, and even wanted to beat Sister Feng, this time it was even worse, Wang Xifeng was fine at first, just rested for a while, and now she moved even more Fetal gas, there is still half a month to go, and it will be activated in advance after being disturbed like this.

Such a big matter, of course, cannot be hidden from others, even if the woman who is afraid of responsibility heard the beatings, noises and crying inside, she would have reported it to Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing and others knew about it.

They hurriedly sent for the doctor and Mrs. Wen to bring Wang Xifeng to the delivery room to give birth.It happened that Jia Amnesty was also at home, so Jia Lian was asked to kneel down to Jia's ancestral hall, and Wang Xifeng was not allowed to come back unless the childbirth was over.

Wang Xifeng had a lot of dowry, and someone even told Mrs. Wang Ziteng Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao rushed over, and after greeting Mrs. Jia, she asked Mrs. Wang dissatisfied, "Why don't you see my uncle?"

"Let his father kneel down in the ancestral hall as punishment, and say that he will not let her get up and come back until Brother Feng is born." Mrs. Wang is also a little embarrassed. After all, this is her sister-in-law. As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Because of this important position, Madam Wang has always been kind to Wang Xifeng, but now this matter is really wrong with Jia Lian of the Jia family. If Wang Xifeng has a difficult delivery, or if there are any other problems, it is really impossible to explain to the Wang family.

But Mrs. Jia asked Mrs. Wang to entertain Mrs. Zhao because she wanted her to appease Mrs. Zhao's anger. Mrs. Xing was Wang Xifeng's serious mother-in-law.

Mrs. Zhao said dissatisfiedly: "He is not self-cultivating, causing trouble, his wife is about to give birth, and instead he goes out to hide, how can there be such a reason!"

Mrs. Xue was also present, and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, sit down for a while. Feng girl doesn't know how long it will take. If she keeps standing, no one can hold it. Lian'er's father also punished him because he saw him angry. Kneeling there, he doesn't make trouble here, but we feel at ease and quiet. If you have something to ask him, I'll ask him to come over."

Mrs. Wang gave Mrs. Xue a grateful look.But at this time, Mrs. Zhao was worried about her daughter, but she didn't want to let their Jia family go. She said to Mrs. Xue: "Don't worry about this matter, I'm only looking for someone from their Jia family."

Mrs. Zhao said to Mrs. Wang: "My good daughter is here to marry. She always smiles when she returns to her mother's house on weekdays, and she will say yes to everything she asks! Who knew that we would suffer such a big grievance behind our backs. I only listened to you at the beginning. Marry Sister Feng to your Jia family! How did you promise me that you would help me take care of her and that you would not let her be wronged? Could it be that these words are just lying to me?"

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to laugh apologetically: "How dare I coax my sister-in-law, the young couple are usually inseparable, who knew that this time they would have a quarrel..."

The garden also knew the news that Wang Xifeng was going to give birth. Although someone ordered that those dirty things not be passed on to the garden to let the girls know, but the women talked about them in private, they still heard them, and they were very upset. Worried about Sister Feng, but at this time they can only stay in the garden and wait for news. Sister Feng is not out of confinement, and these girls like them can't see anyone.

Wang Xifeng lived up to expectations, and after a few hours, gave birth to a fat boy.The child was reported to Jia's mother and others as soon as possible, and Jia's mother liked it very much at the first sight, and treasured it like a heart.

Mrs. Zhao was also happy for her daughter when she saw her daughter was born smoothly, and the eldest son of Jia Lian's line was born. Even if there was any grievance, she didn't plan to pursue it at this time. After seeing Wang Xifeng, she went home.

Jia Lian was still kneeling listlessly in the ancestral hall. Hearing that the family had come to announce the good news, the second grandmother gave birth to a brother, and the corners of her mouth were so happy that she grinned behind her ears. After going back to see the children and Wang Xifeng, people went around to announce the good news and were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. For a while, the little resentment from before disappeared. Seeing Jia Lian's change of heart, Wang Xifeng naturally tried to win him over again.The husband and wife are like one person again.

Everyone in Jia's house was very happy, only Mrs. Wang felt uncomfortable, now that their husband and wife are back together again, then he was ostracized by Mrs. Zhao for nothing.Moreover, Jia's mother loved the child very much, and she had to see him every day, otherwise she would not eat well, sleep well, and seemed to be favored more than Baoyu when she was a child.Everyone in the Jia family knew that the old lady's most precious eyes were Jia Gui, born by Wang Xifeng.

And once, Baoyu was reprimanded by Jia Zheng again. Mrs. Jia only cared about teasing Jia Gui, who was still in her infancy, and didn't take Baoyu's scolding seriously.She knew that it would be shameful for Baoyu to compete for favor with a child less than one year old.But these changes of Jia's mother made Mrs. Wang very disturbed.So I planned to go to the palace to see the empress on the day of the decree of kindness, and talk about myself.

On this day, Mrs. Wang and Yuan Chun met in Fengzao Palace, and Niang and Niang met each other on a regular basis, and they had nothing to say, they were just gossiping and commonplace.Yuan Chun strictly abides by the palace rules and rarely talks to her about palace affairs.Mrs. Wang met each other several times, and she felt that although the Fengzao Palace was gorgeous, it was too deserted. It seemed that she had never seen the current emperor staying in this Fengzao Palace, and she was not ashamed to ask Yuan Chun more.

Mrs. Wang talked about Jia's house, and said that Wang Xifeng gave birth to a son, and Jia's mother was like a treasure all day long, even Baoyu back then was not as good.

Jia Yuanchun said happily: "Now that there are more people in the family, Jiamen is getting more and more prosperous, which is a good thing."

Mrs. Wang frowned and said: "That's true, but the old lady only had Baoyu in her eyes before. At most, Feng girl and Sister Lin were only women if they were favored. The Duke's Mansion should also be handed over to Baoyu in the future. But now that you have Brother Gui, it's different. Although your Sister Feng listens to me on weekdays, the child belongs to your uncle and the others. As the saying goes Saying that one goes up and down, I can't help but not worry!"

Seeing that his mother was worried, Yuan Chun had to say a few words of relief.She knew that Mrs. Wang would only tell the truth in front of her. They were two siblings, Baoyu was useless at all, and Mrs. Wang couldn't tell him those words at all.

Mrs. Wang said again: "By the way, do you still remember what I told you about your aunt's Baochai Xiaoxuan? How is it going?"
