The red house is not a pity

Ruizhu thought about what her eldest daughter was doing, so she couldn't help laughing. Seeing her grandma's questioning gaze, she quickly said, "Maybe grandma has forgotten that it will be the day when the harem concubines and concubines will enter the palace. Our eldest daughter , Hehe, I am making up my homework."

Fortunately, Mrs. Lin's family enters the palace once a month. If they enter the palace twice or more a month like other concubines' families, the eldest daughter of their family will not know how busy she is.

Qin Keqing was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

Xichun is a lazy person, and every time school is about to start, oh no, it's when it's almost time to go to the palace to hand in homework. Qin Keqing also knows this.

Although she was a little out of kindness, Qin Keqing couldn't help laughing.

Ever since Lin Que returned to the south, the girl in her family has lost a helper to do her homework.Every time the aunts and wives of the Lin family come back from the palace, they will send over the homework assigned by the concubine Lin in the palace.Then ask to be sent to the palace on the next day of entering the palace.

The homework left by Daiyu includes solving problems, needlework, tricks to settle accounts, and writing poems and lyrics, in short, there are all kinds of things.

Daiyu also knew what progress Xichun was making, so she asked someone else to do it for her, and she could tell at a glance.In the past, when Lin Que helped with the work, Daiyu just turned a blind eye and closed one eye, leaving more homework that Lin Que could not replace.

But Lin Que went south to rush for the exam and was not in Beijing.No one can take the time to regret it.Thinking of this, Daiyu was also worried about Lin Que, but more sympathized with Xichun.

Damn girl, it's finally in her hands.

The reason why Daiyu attaches so much importance to Xichun's homework is actually just in response to that sentence - things must be reversed when they are extreme.

In addition, Daiyu has always understood the virtues of noble girls in the capital.She is favored now, and when Xichun marries in the future, she will definitely attract more attention.When they started socializing, if those wives and ladies knew about Xichun's 'ignorance', they wouldn't necessarily laugh at her.

She can't make fun of the fourth younger sister who can't write poetry, but she can't stop others from laughing at her.

...Although she also made dozens of poems of one kind or another for the fourth younger sister.But if you encounter any sudden situation, you always have to know something yourself.

And even if she imitates the fourth younger sister in her poems, she is afraid that she will fail one day.It's okay for her, but the fourth younger sister always has to deal with those people outside.

There is also the director of the housekeeper. If the fourth sister acts like a baby, the mother will not bear it.No matter what she said, she can still move, even if the fourth younger sister passed through the door and didn't want to be a housekeeper, she would still be there.

What kind of words is this? Could it be that the mother can help the fourth younger sister manage the family for the rest of her life?If the younger brother is released from the capital in the future, will the mother still have to leave the capital with him?

Although the fourth younger sister always said that when people are free, it is easy to think too much, and then worry about the body, always dragging the mother to toss and toss.

But where is the age, it is not too much.

Thinking of the little Douding that the fourth sister bought to relieve her mother's boredom, and being despised by the fourth sister for competing with her, I couldn't help laughing.

Daiyu could see that the fourth younger sister's affection for her mother carried a kind of empathy.She treats her mother as her own mother.And the mother and the fourth younger sister also cherish, pity and be close to each other.Although not as good as their siblings, it still hurts to the bone.

Thinking of the fierce tide between the grandmother and the second aunt, and the indifference between the second aunt and sister-in-law Zhu, Daiyu was completely relieved that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not her own but were better than her own.

However...Even so, the fourth sister cannot relax in her homework.Fourth sister is like this, completely out of the habit of mother and younger brother.

Straightforward, as if she wasn't used to it.

As if she wasn't the one who cheated Xichun with the dozens of poems before and after entering the palace?

Although I think a lot, my current life is still very sufficient.There are new monsters to farm, and every day I change ways to assign homework to Xichun.

Life in this palace, you can only survive if you have fun by yourself.Otherwise, deep palace resentment can drive a person crazy.

Among the ten people who entered the palace this time, Daiyu was the first to find her own pleasure.

A woman who puts her energy on the emperor is completely different from a woman who puts her energy on herself and tries to find fun for herself.This is really fascinating.After all, no matter which man it is on, I don't want him to be busy outside all day, and then go to see the loneliness of the woman full of grievances.

Therefore, Shui Yan is more willing to dote on such a cheerful Daiyu.

With the sourness of a literati, and the aloofness of a noble daughter, plus Daiyu who can always find fun by herself, Shui Yan is very attractive.

One face at a time, sometimes delicate, sometimes smart, sometimes dignified, sometimes coquettish and soft-spoken, sometimes...

The unique style has achieved the unique charm and the favor of the six palaces of envy.

At the same time, it also attracted ghosts and monsters hiding in the dark...

......

Daiyu adapted very well to the life in the palace. After getting started with the palace affairs, she didn't feel that the life in the palace was very difficult.

On weekdays, apart from paying respects to the Queen Mother, I would not even visit the Imperial Garden for a while.

Who doesn't know that the Royal Garden is an area with a high incidence of accidents.Not only did she know, but even the pamphlets and short stories given to her by the fourth sister all emphasized the danger of the Imperial Garden.Therefore, if Daiyu could not go, she would not go.

She is the lord of the first palace, and there is no one else in the palace, so Daiyu took advantage of the palace affairs to arrange the outdoor space of the entire palace.

Although it is still too small compared to the Royal Garden, the Royal Garden itself is not that big.Daiyu took great care of such a small garden.

In addition, she also followed Xichun's suggestion, and split a land of about ten square meters alone, and planted some seasonal vegetables.

But when the vegetables grew, Daiyu felt pitiful again, watching them grow day by day, she was really reluctant to eat them.Don't eat it, it will turn yellow and rotten in a few days, wouldn't that be a pity.

After some struggles, Daiyu made five servings of all the dishes, one was given to the Queen Mother, one was given to the Emperor, and she, Jia Min and Xi Chun shared the rest.

"The fourth younger sister is doing evil. She has to ask me to grow some vegetables. This vegetable makes me feel sorry for it coming to this world once, suffering from fire oil... wait a minute, there is no need to withdraw it." Daiyu said After finishing this sentence, he felt a lot of emotion, when other palace people saw it, they even stepped forward to bring down the plate of stir-fried vegetables, but Daiyu stopped him again.

"Mother, this dish is very tender, you can also eat it raw with meat sauce." Feng'er replied to Daiyu expressionlessly.

Daiyu was choked by Feng'er, and suddenly felt that she was quite hypocritical.

"Forget it, let it be like this. If I don't eat it, it is a real waste. It has to go through some things after it comes to this world. If I don't go to hell, who will." Daiyu said After falling, he raised his chopsticks to pick up a vegetable and put it into his mouth.

Well, it's delicious. The vegetables grown by myself are better than the ones outside.The taste is full of fragrance.

"...", Mammy Xia's face was full of black lines, she didn't know what to say.Her master, the empress, must have been spoiled by the fourth girl of the Jia family.

Why are you so out of tune in your words and deeds?

Daiyu's remark made some people sour, but few people took it seriously.The few people left were quite happy after eating.

The queen mother felt that growing vegetables could be done as a serious matter.When the queen mother was young, her family was poor, and she really thought that no matter how good the flowers were, it was not practical.Of course, she also liked flowers, but due to her limited status and the empress dowager's psychology, no matter how expensive flowers are, they are not as affordable as the dish of braised pork in the regular dish.

Her son loved eating this when he was little.It's a pity that she is not favored, and the servants have deducted their mother's share, but now they want to eat whatever they want, but they don't have the original sweetness.

"Young lady, the ladies in the palace have been in the palace for more than two years, and next year will be the third year. Look, will there be a draft next year?" An old nanny who has been serving the queen mother gave the queen mother her favorite drink after dinner. Handed over the tea, while chatting softly.

"Yes, I have been in the palace for two years, and I don't know what happened, but there is not even a single good news. My son has only one seedling under his knees, the eldest prince, which is really too thin."

The queen mother had a headache when she thought about the conversation she had with her son a few days ago.The son thinks that there are too many women to make a fuss, and more women will cost a lot, so he firmly disagrees with another draft.It is said that he is still young, if there is still nothing to show for two or three years, it will not be too late to re-election.

Shui Yan also discovered that in the past two years, he has been exposed to both rain and dew, but why among the ten women, not even one is pregnant.

Every month, the imperial doctor would tell him the physical condition of these women in the harem, and his body would be checked every three days.

Is it because the time has not come?

Well, it's really not the right time.

Although Xichun is a little confused, she also knows that premature childbirth is very harmful to the mother, and the child is also prone to premature death.

Daiyu was only one year older than her, and she was only 14 years old when she entered the palace, so that year, Xichun carefully looked through the pills left by her mother, and directly used Shuiyan to prevent pregnancy.

That medicine also has an antidote, and there is only one antidote for one medicine.As for that medicine, Xichun directly asked Feng'er to wait until Daiyu was 17 years old, and quietly fed it to Daiyu.

As for why the antidote was not given to Shuiyan, but to Daiyu...

Marrying a concubine in a fairy land outside the world has wronged them, Sister Lin.Wouldn't it be even more aggrieved to compete with the women in the harem now?

If Shuiyan can only have children with Daiyu in this life...

Although talking is better than nothing, but I think it is also a kind of compensation.

...It would be even better if the emperor could guard his body like a jade for sister Lin.

Leaving aside the previous words, it means that Shui Yan will not be able to let women have children until next February, when Daiyu's birthday is over.

And at that time, our Xichun will soon be filial piety.If the time is well grasped, the Lin family can be regarded as double happiness.

"Hurry up tomorrow and ask that girl Keqing to come into the palace. I haven't seen her for a long time, so it's so memorable."

Ke Qing has never entered the palace since the beginning of filial piety.But Jia Dalang, who is a grandson and great-grandchild, often brings two naughty younger brothers into the palace to entertain relatives in colorful clothes.

Compared with their parents, the three brothers only have one year of filial piety, so Qin Keqing didn't stop their brothers.

"It's not because Madam is filial to you, that's why she refrained from entering the palace. It's already past autumn, and it won't be a blink of an eye until next year's spring. By the way, I forgot, didn't you recruit the Jia family's brother?" Did your son enter the palace? When he enters the palace, you will always have someone to talk to."

The queen mother smiled, "Well, this child is just like his mother, and he looks handsome. He is motivated and knows how to measure. He looks like a child of our family."

When the old mother heard this, she smiled brightly in her heart.

All parents are the same, the good ones are inherited from their own family, and the bad ones are all from other people's family.

The queen mother was no exception, she felt that Qin Keqing's sons were good everywhere, and they all followed the good blood of their natal family.

As for Jia's family... that's it.

"I heard that Concubine Lin is torturing her sister-in-law when she's fine?" The queen mother thought of something else, and asked the old mother beside her with a smile.

Daiyu sometimes chatted with the Queen Mother, and would also mention Xichun.Of course, Daiyu also mentioned a little bit about Xichun's homework.The queen mother always listened to the offensive and defensive battle between Daiyu and Xichun as an interesting story.

And the queen mother has been hearing Qin Keqing and Daiyu mention Xichun in the past few years, she is really curious about this girl, and has always wanted to wait for Xichun to come to the palace to see her.

The old mother nodded, "Who says it's not? Concubine Lin can still do these things while managing the palace affairs. This old servant is convinced."

Before Daiyu entered the palace, the palace affairs of the harem were managed by the empress dowager and this nanny together.The other trivial things really bothered me to death.

But when the palace affairs came to Concubine Lin, it turned out to be very simple and worry-free.

I heard that in the first month when Concubine Lin took over the palace affairs, nothing changed.He neither buys nor installs people.Instead, he walked quietly and according to the rules for a month.

And in the second month, the rules of the palace were changed.

Said it was changed, but nothing changed.Instead, he directly called the Household Affairs Office and the stewards who were in charge of all the big and small affairs in the palace.Then after asking about responsibilities and division of labor, let everyone go back and think about a daily routine, a ten-day routine, and a monthly, quarterly, and annual routine.

Then how much money is needed and how much it will cost are clearly written one by one.

She asked these people to write these things down on paper and hand them over to her.After that, every day, after the emperor's morning court, she would gather these people together, and then hold a modern morning routine meeting.

Ask everyone to talk about what they did yesterday, what they did and what they didn't.What are you going to do today, and so on and so on.

Also, she will ask people to make planning sheets, budget sheets, statistical sheets, etc. After they are done, they will be produced in the form of a table, which is clear at a glance.

The form Daiyu made was probably learned from Xichun.At the beginning, I taught Xichun the housekeeper to look at the accounts, those account books over the years, every time Xichun looked at them, he thought it was a waste of eyes, so he drew such a form, and asked Liu Er and others to make a copy of the accounts on it.

Later, Daiyu found that the feeling was indeed clearer than before, and she consciously borrowed it later.Now that it is in the palace, it is naturally used.

After Shui Yan found out, he also found it useful, so he even used the one-year budget, this year's work summary, and next year's work plan.

Don't ask for money today, and if you ask for money tomorrow, make a plan for me, and when the time comes, which one is not on the list, just talk about it.

Why spend more money this year?

After using it for a while, Shui Yan wanted to reward Daiyu with something. Of course, he didn't think of giving Daiyu a promotion and a salary increase, but it was a long-term expense, and Shui Yan felt a little distressed.In the end, I just took out my private treasury and sent some ancient books, calligraphy and paintings.

He happened to have a lot of these things, and besides taking up space, he really didn't know what else to do. He rewarded Concubine Lin, and someone liked it.

Daiyu was very grateful, and Shuiyan sent this reward to the itching place.

For many days afterwards, Daiyu's eyes on Shuiyan were sparkling.

It's hard to find a bosom friend!
