Across the Red Mansion: Qingwen Upgrade Road

Xiao Xizi grew up with Yin Ji, and she understands the thoughts of this sensitive master very well. "Master, if you want this servant to say that you are thinking too much, no matter whether the fourth master chose you in the end, let's just look at the present, is the fourth master's arrangement thoughtful? Are Zhang Qilin and others dedicated? Is this not enough? At least the fourth master did not Forget about you, this is much better than just saying hello before. A slave has no brothers, if there are brothers, there will be relatives, let alone the royal family?"

Yin Ji looked at Xiao Xizi in front of him, this servant really spoke something plain. "You slave, you know better than me as a master. That's enough, just focus on your performance today, and when you settle down, you will go to receive a month's reward."

Xiao Xizi agreed with a smile on her face, and followed Yinji to work.Chengqian Palace is very lively now, Kangxi is surrounded by a group of sons, talking to each other about ordinary things, or rare things they have seen, and Twelve over there is carrying a bunch of small ones holding dogtail grass and teasing them in high spirits little civet cat.

Concubine Yi and Concubine Gui played mahjong with two maids, whooping and cheering accompanied by the cheers of a few little guys, saying "Yaoji" and "Liutiao".Rong Hui entered the door with two plates of freshly made tomato ribs with some worry. The sweet smell attracted the fifteen or so people who turned their heads from time to time to look outside the door and surrounded them with cheers.

"Is it ready? Why didn't my sister come over?" Rong Hui didn't hear the little elder brother addressing herself, but she didn't feel jealous either. The relationship between Qingwen and the little elder brother was not comparable to her own. "Brother, Qingwengege is still cooking some other food, shall we try this first?"

Yinyu didn't mind what to eat, as long as it was delicious.Kangxi also smelled the sweet fragrance in the air, but the old man couldn't show that he was greedy.He just waved his hands and said to Yinfeng: "You guys go and try it too, the things that girl made are novelties, go and see how this one is doing. If you like it, ask for Fang Zi, and you can take it home. That's right. Yinfeng, and Yinzhi, you two have always been thin, so you should eat more food."

Yinreng smiled at Kangxi warmly with dazzled eyes, and led the crowd to huddle together with a few young brothers, holding the red ribs with one chopstick and the other with the other.Yinzhen was very happy to eat the ribs, but why did the ribs decrease so quickly today?I obviously only ate a piece, okay?

Yinzhen looked along the direction where he stretched out his chopsticks most frequently, and looked up along the chopsticks. Is this his third brother?Why does that stick-like figure eat so fast?The three of Yinzhen were eating slowly, and they were struggling to put the ribs in a small spoon, and they ate them all at once. Sanxiao, who was poked on the shoulder by Yinzhen, looked up in doubt, what's the situation?What about your ribs?

The eyes of the little baby who was protecting the food turned red in an instant, and his sharp little eyes swept over, and instantly locked on the most jubilant Yin Yin and Yin Zhi who were eating.The four little guys exchanged a small look, Qiqi protected the small wooden bowl with his left hand, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss Ribs.

Then he took out a spoon with his right hand and scooped the pork ribs on the plate into his own small wooden bowl, which was exactly six yuan. Because Shisan was away, sixteen elder brother Yinlu put it in his own bowl all at once.The imperial concubine saw the swords and swords on the table, and said to Rong Hui with her mouth bent: "See? This is the child of the royal family, no different from ordinary children, but smarter. In the future, when you get along with Lao Ba, you must treat him as a child." Treating him like a child who hasn't grown up and thinking about him in everything is the right thing to do."

Rong Hui was instructed to write down that Concubine Yi pointed to Kangxi and said in a low voice: "Look at our Long Live Lord eating happily, the little ones over there are going to make a fuss, and there is no reaction. "

No, Kangxi was very satisfied with Qingwen's thoughtfulness, so he put a plate for himself alone, so he didn't have to compete with the children for losing the portion.Liang Jiugong was also rewarded two yuan by Kangxi in a good mood.Suddenly, Yin Lu came over with a small bowl, his small body was nimble, he opened his eyes and said obediently: "Huang Ama, I'll eat my son's for you."

Holding the wooden bowl in his small hand, he looked at Kangxi earnestly.Kangxi looked at the slightly deformed ribs in the oily wooden bowl, and looked at the ribs on his own plate without showing any signs of expression. "Hey, my little sixteen is really filial. Huang Ama is full, so little sixteen should eat more tall ones."

The princes who were watching the situation over there bowed their heads silently, and Yinzhi said to Yinzhi beside him: "I see, if there is any delicious food in a while, I have to quickly grab it into my own bowl, these boys Not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Yinzhi nodded knowingly, Yinzhen and Yinreng smiled slightly, alas, I didn't expect the brothers in the family to have so many foodies.Yinlu happily gave Yinxuan a smug look, and Yinli cheered and surrounded him, scooped the pork ribs from Yinlu's bowl into his own bowl, and ate them beautifully. The ribs are for Seventeen, why is this kid doing this?The royal family will not do business at a loss.

It didn't take long for them to know what Shiliu's purpose was. Qingwen brought Xiuwen over with a plate, two plates of salted egg yolk torched pumpkin and cabbage rolls, and a big cup of stewed beef brisket with curry tomato.Yinlu greeted her with a smile, and looked at Qingwen with a raised face, "Sister, little sixteen wants to eat cabbage rolls, and little seventeen told me to eat cabbage rolls. Just now little sixteen gave up the ribs to seventeen , this is an exchange."

Everyone fainted, Yinreng looked at the chubby Shiliu speechlessly, this younger brother really has a lot of eyes.Qingwen nodded gently, "Okay, Elder Sixteen is really a good elder brother who loves his younger brother. Little Seventeen and Elder Sixteen are protecting him, so he must be very happy."

Sixteen proudly puffed out her small chest, and said in a childlike voice, "That's right, I'm the elder brother, and Shiqi is my youngest brother. If you don't love him or anyone else, mine belongs to him." She turned around and held back Seventeen's greasy little hands said, "Brother, I'll give you all the cabbage rolls for a while, Brother Sixteen loves you."

This remark made a group of people laugh again. This Qingwen girl has a way of dealing with children, but she made Xiao Shiliu a good brother in one sentence.Qingwen personally brought a cabbage roll to Yinlu, "Brother Sixteen is a good brother, do you want to try it while it's hot? The cabbage roll is the sweetest when it's hot. This is the new cabbage produced this year, and it's the most juicy. The meat stuffing inside uses Jinhua ham, fresh shrimp, and some mushrooms, if you like it, try the three fresh stuffing next time.”

Yin Lu nodded his head, blew on the steaming cabbage rolls, took a bite in satisfaction, and narrowed his eyes happily. "Sister, this cabbage roll is really delicious." Concubine Gui and Concubine Yi curiously picked one up, split it in half and ate it, it was really good. "This cabbage roll is warm to eat in winter, and it's also very fresh to eat now. Qingqing will look for it, why didn't I see the new cabbage?"

The imperial concubine elegantly bit the cabbage rolls on the plate, took the clean handkerchief from Shuiyu and wiped the corners of her mouth, "You have never been to the small kitchen, how do you know? Besides, you don't necessarily know Xiaobaicai even if you see it." , don’t necessarily think it’s a carrot.”

Concubine Yi unhappily shook her sleeves, "Elder sister will laugh at me, but I still can't tell what is a radish?" Kangxi just watched the fun and ate yellow and orange baked pumpkins. Slightly salty, soft and slightly sweet on the inside, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it is very good. "Concubine Yi burnt down the kitchen, Concubine Gui is right."

Concubine Yi stomped her feet with a red face and said: "The emperor also said that, the concubine just made a mistake once, you remember it all. Sigh, I'm the one who makes people laugh, and Qingqing is the most caring, come on, uh Mother's Qingqing, come and warm Er Niang's heart, Er Niang is hurt."

Qingwen smiled mischievously, and walked over to support Concubine Yi, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, Qingqing will serve you a bowl of beef brisket soup, let's eat all the meat, and don't keep it for bullies." Kangxi loosened his hand holding the pumpkin , "This girl is very courageous, she dares to say that in front of me."

The noble concubine went over to pick up Seventeen, who was grabbing food with a group of people, and pinched her cheeks, "Go and comfort your Huang Ama, your Huang Ama is feeling sad that you don't have a little padded jacket." Yinli threw herself into Kangxi's arms in confusion, He gave Kangxi a few kisses, coaxing Kangxi to be happy, and ordered Kangxi to pick up beef brisket for himself to eat.The imperial concubine was eating soft potatoes, and gave Qingwen some beef brisket from time to time, "Qingqing, eat more, all the food in Chuxiu Palace is eaten together, I'm afraid I didn't eat well. From now on, I will ask Shuiyu to send you some snacks every day." , Pad the stomach. Children should eat more."

Qingwen agreed with a smile, and the people in the room were full and went back contentedly.Yinzhen is more satisfied with Qingwen again, this tenth younger sibling can take good care of the tenth brother even with such good cooking skills, so he can rest assured at least.Looking at the attitude towards the fifteen or so, he will be very tolerant towards the children in the future. The backyard of the tenth child should be the cleanest.I just don't know who the old Jiu's Fujin will be?I still have to investigate carefully, alas, I really worry about how many younger brothers I have, I won't be a teenager!Although she was a little worried that she was not as handsome as before, Yinzhen's mother still took great pleasure in worrying about her younger brothers' family affairs.

It was already dark when Ronghui and Qingwen went back, even dinner was served at Yifei's place.After a day of getting along, Concubine Yi treated Rong Hui much better, and even said that she was summoned to speak for a few days.Ronghui smiled all the way, and said good night to Qingwen under the envious eyes of a group of beautiful girls. Qingwen smiled at Yueying who lived next door, and entered the door.

Daiyu came back early, but she didn't seem to be in a good mood, so she went to bed early.After Qingwen found out, she thought about talking tomorrow.Early the next morning, Yueying and Daiyu made an appointment to sit and talk with Qingwen on the porch, but Yueying was actually called by Concubine Rong, apparently to choose a side Fujin for Sanbeile Yinzhi.

Yueying didn't expect to be selected, and her childhood dream was still to go out and travel. Being bound by the royal family broke her wings, but this matter is not something they can decide, so Yueying said that.When Daiyu talked about Jia Yuanchun, her face was very distressed, "Mr. Jia looks very good now, but he was happy not long ago, but in the end he couldn't keep the child. Fortunately, the emperor gave him a position, and there will be more in the future." I just feel that a mother who lost her child not long ago can still look radiant, and I feel chilling."

Qingwen patted Daiyu's hand comfortingly, "You can relax about this matter and don't worry about it." Daiyu nodded lightly, "I've made a note." One month passed quickly, and the 66 show 46 women went, and the remaining [-] were drafted in front of the hall.The queen mother called Qingwen over on this day, but she didn't say anything, she just watched Qingwen eat a lot.

Qingwen went back inexplicably, but it was Yinji who packed up the mansion and sent Su Peisheng to deliver things, which solved Qingwen's doubts.It turned out that the Empress Dowager found out from Kangxi that Qingwen looked a little thin and felt distressed, but it was not good to recruit her to speak early.Today, I just watched Qingwen eat more food.The palace selection was very boring. The emperor and the fourth concubine were sitting in a gazebo. The four of them stepped forward and were questioned by the emperor or the fourth concubine. They showed their skills on the spot, and they were left with a sign or given flowers. Just go home and wait for news.

When Qingwen came out of the palace, she saw Min Yue and Fu Jing who were picking her up. Qingwen, who was carrying a big burden, laughed suddenly, and quickly ran into Min Yue's firm embrace, "Ama, brother, I'm back." Min Yue stroked the back of Qingwen's head, and said softly, "Okay, let's go home."

That night, Liang Jiugong came over in person, and announced the imperial decree in a big battle, bestowing marriage on the tenth elder brother Yinji, who was married on the eighth day of August this year.Liang Jiugong rushed to give Kangxi the order and bid farewell to Min Yue. The people behind took the cake box that Min Yue had prepared and went back.When Min Yue went to close the door, he saw Elder Brother Shi riding over with a happy face.

Flying off the horse, he made a deep bow, "Greetings to Yuezhang, Yuezhang is auspicious." Min Yue blushed, "What are you doing? Why don't you come in soon?" Yin Ni came in with a smile, and looked at the clothes that had already begun to dress up. The mansion, "Is the father-in-law enough? My place is almost full, why don't you send Su Peisheng and others to help clean up?"

Min Yue waved his hand, "Forget it, there is no hurry, Elder Brother Ten just needs to take care of himself. What are you doing here today?"

Yin Qu took out a box from her bosom, and shook it in front of Min Yue, "This is the jewelry I asked someone to make before, and I sent it to Nan Nan. Where is Nan Nan now?" Min Yue said angrily: " You are going to get married, it's better to be rare."

Yinbi smiled and responded, "I know, I know, this is the last time. We will be together every day after we get married. At that time, Father-in-law won't see Nan Nan." Min Yue raised his beard in anger, and turned back. house.Yinti went to Qingwen's study, and Qingwen was drawing today's announcement with her sleeves rolled up. "Why are you here? Are you ready for dinner?"

Yinbi was a little dazed for a while, Qingwen used to be cautious when getting along with her, but now she is so close and her tone is familiar.This is the partner in the future, the lover who will accompany you for a lifetime.A warm current passed through Yin's heart, and he passed the box in his hand, "This is the jewelry I asked someone to make, and I just finished it today."

Qingwen curiously prepared to open it, but was held down by Yinyi, blushing and said, "I'll see when I go." Qingwen's hand was warmed up, but she didn't pull it back, and she agreed shyly. "Well, I see. How about I take it with me when the time comes?"

Yinyu looked at Qingwen with shining eyes, as expected of Nannan who understood her own thoughts, "Then, then you remember, when the time comes, I will see it when I lift the hijab." Qingwen nodded, "I remember, It’s been a long journey all the way here, the papaya cheese jelly we made at home, I’ll eat some later, and bring some to the empress and elder brother Jiu.”

Yin Qu agreed with a smile, and was dragged to the front hall by Fu Jing who had found him.My younger sister will soon be his, and it's really unbearable to be so clingy.I don't know who my future partner will be.

Both Daiyu and Emperor Yueying gave flowers. Yueying said early in the morning that she would go out to travel after Qingwen got married, and the old man of Qijia's mansion also followed.Guo Luoluo Ronghui and Dong E Bihua, the seventy-year-old daughter of Dong E, also got married on the same day, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was very busy.The eighth day of the eighth month of August will soon arrive, and Qingwen wanders in a bridal sedan chair to Elder Brother Shi's mansion.

Yinreng was having a headache. The three younger brothers got married at the same time. Where would he go?The emperor is really capricious.In the end, this situation was resolved by Kangxi, and there was a group wedding that the queen mother heard about from Qingwen.The brides would go through their respective mansions first, and then return to the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Ning to worship together. The Empress Dowager was very happy with this idea.At this time, the usually peaceful Palace of Compassion and Ning was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the Empress Dowager was dressed festively, sitting on the couch in a stately manner, waiting for the arrival of the bride.As the mother-in-law, the imperial concubine also appeared in costumes, talking and laughing next to the queen mother.

Concubine Yi couldn't sit still, she was busy checking if there was anything inappropriate or missing as soon as it was packed in the morning.Today's wedding is the first mass wedding in the Qing Dynasty, and it must be done beautifully. Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and that annoying Concubine De look at me, hum, are you jealous?Are you envious?Who told you that you don't have a son of the right age?

The sound of blowing, blowing and beating sounded from far away. Kangxi sat at the top with a smile, and on the left and right sat the noble concubine and the concubine Yi. The concubine Liang is actually the protagonist today, but her status is low and she is not favored by the emperor. Concubine Yi sat down, but the most beautiful woman in the six palaces was very happy today, sat next to Concubine Yi contentedly, waiting for the arrival of her son and daughter-in-law.

The three couples slowly walked into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and they got married under the singing of Xi Niang. The Palace of Compassion and Ning was full of cheers, and the little elder brother and little Gege shuttled around distributing candy and playing games together.Because they will only leave the palace at night, the three couples also lifted their hijabs in the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace. On Qingwen's head, there is a lotus head of red gold twisted with gold threads, interspersed with a set of white jade lotus jewelry, which is beautiful flowery.

Yinyi looked at the white jade lotus on Qingwen's head with a smirk, and said naively: "You really have it." Qingwen nodded with a smile, "Didn't the master tell me to take it, how could I forget?"

With a smile in his eyes, Yinti sat next to Qingwen, with no one on the left and right, kissed Fangze, and gently swayed Qingwen in his arms. The delicate and soft daughter-in-law was finally abducted home. "Qingqing, let's have a good time in the future."

Qingwen nodded lightly, even if Yinju didn't see her, she knew that Qingwen had agreed, and her heart was bubbling with beauty.The imperial concubine who was lying on the window sill and peeping covered her mouth and smiled, and left Yinxuan and Yinzhen who were snickering with their buttocks pouting beside them, "It won't be a few years for you guys, when the time comes, your mother will choose you too." good one."

Yinxuan shyly turned his head and left, but Yinzhen didn't care. He took the concubine's hand affectionately and said that he also wanted to find someone like the tenth sister-in-law. Er Niang chose it out of thousands of people, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find the same one."

Yinzhen thought about it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Gui'er, I don't want to be like my sister, I just have to have the same skills as my sister. It's not hard to find."

The imperial concubine smiled and nodded Yinzhen's forehead, "You little slicker, you wanted to find a daughter-in-law who is good at cooking, but you were really spoiled by that girl, you are all snacks."

Yinzhen just laughed and ran to talk to his brothers.This scene was very normal, Yinzhen's brothers often go to the imperial concubine's place to eat, so they are familiar with it.It's just that Concubine De felt it was very glaring, pinching the veil bitterly, thinking that it was all the fault of the vixen, the noble concubine, who abducted her own son.It's not surprising that Concubine De thinks this way. Since Yinzhen and Sibeile reconciled, Sibeile has taught her to improve a lot, and she has also clarified a lot about Er Niang and Sibeile back then.

Yinzhen couldn't accept that Er Niang, who had always thought to be very kind, turned out to be such a person, and even had a cold attitude towards Concubine De.Concubine De originally thought that Fourteen had grown up, so she was quite relieved.Later one day when I was delivering food to Shisi, I met Shisi happily and Yinzhen went out of the palace hand in hand.At that time, the shocked Concubine De dropped all the food boxes in her hands on the ground, and when she got back, she sent someone to ask Shisi what she had been doing these days.

"Hmph, you bastard, you're planning on making fourteen." Accompanied by the sound of the cup breaking, no one in Yonghe Palace dared to make a sound. "Mother Li, go and call Jia Guiren over, just tell me Biluochun, which is newly rewarded by the emperor here, and invite her to come over for tea."

Nanny Li walked away with a serious face, and entered the Chunyuan Hall on the side of the Yonghe Palace proudly, and arrived before the sound of people arrived, "Is Mrs. Jia here? The maidservant is here to pass on the words of Concubine De." Jia Yuanchun was writing. , Hearing Nanny Li's call, she said to the qin on the side without raising her head: "Go and see, what is she here for?"

Baoqin went in response, but did not stop Nanny Li, and was squeezed into the inner room by the old woman.Jia Yuanchun frowned, although he didn't know what Concubine De was up to, but he couldn't tear himself apart with Concubine De now, so he said with a smile: "I don't know Mammy is here, please sit down and drink tea, vanilla is going to pour some hot tea." .”

Nanny Li shook her head arrogantly, "No need, this servant can't drink tea from Mrs. Jia Gui, so let's go with the servant to meet the Empress Defei. The Empress Dowager has Biluochun, which was newly rewarded by the emperor, and said that I invite you to drink tea. "Even though Jia Yuanchun was dissatisfied with Nanny Li's attitude, he was just a little nobleman, not concubine Ren De.Then she nodded and was supported by Baoqin, she looked at Concubine De carefully but she didn't see any anger, it seemed that she really invited herself to drink tea. "Thank you for your invitation, my concubine. It's a great honor for me."

Concubine De smiled and nodded, "It's just some tea leaves. I invited you here just to talk. I heard that you are very good at making tea. I wonder if this palace will have the honor to witness Jia Guiren's craftsmanship today?"

These days, since Jia Yuanchun lost his child inexplicably, he is more careful than before.He inquired everywhere about the emperor's preferences, and because Kangxi liked to drink tea, Jia Yuanchun spent money to hire the nurse in the waiter to teach her how to make tea in private.She thought she had kept this matter a secret, but Concubine De knew about it.Concubine De was in a bad mood today, so Jia Yuanchun, a ready-made punching bag, was naturally called.He used to serve people, so naturally he couldn't change his begging look. Look, he still learned some slave skills, a vixen.

Jia Yuanchun also understood Concubine De's thoughts, "The concubine is only occasionally interested. She learned a thing or two, but she didn't even enter the door. How dare she use an axe in front of the empress. Besides, this tea is good tea that the emperor rewarded. How dare you spoil such good tea." Concubine De's eyes turned cold, this Jia Yuanchun has grown courage, how dare she disobey her orders before. "That's true, but this tea was given to me by the emperor, so I don't think it should be spoiled. You just go, I will wait."

Jia Yuanchun glanced at Concubine De with big eyes like water, and his heart tightened, Concubine De seemed unhappy today, but he had no reason to annoy him.Concubine De saw that Jia Yuanchun had gone to make tea, and she acted like flowing water, which was pleasing to the eye. "This Jia Yuanchun has some skills, no wonder the emperor visits her from time to time."

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when Qingwen and Yinyi returned home, Yinti showed Qingwen with a smile while holding the picture book in her hand, and the young couple studied the erotic pictures shamelessly.Early the next morning, Yinti turned her head to look at Qingwen on the pillow, smiled contentedly, stretched out her hands to hug Qingwen's fragrant and warm body, and the delicate touch made Yinti impulsive again.

The noise was so loud that it was three poles in the sun before Yinti called for water, packed up and hugged Qingwen who was weak, got up, and clumsily pinched the eyebrow pencil to draw Qingwen's eyebrows.Qingwen closed her eyes slightly, and leaned sleepily in Yinqi's arms, obediently letting her hands up and down.Mother Jiang and Mother Zhou smiled and waited on the sidelines, Yinqi finished the painting in a while.Not bad, at least you can see it.Originally, Yinbi thought that these three days would be the two-person world of her husband and wife, but she didn't expect Yinyu to bring Yinlu and Yinli to stir up trouble.
