Return to the Qing Dynasty(39)

During this auction, Jiu Fujin left a very deep impression on Lin Yutong.

I originally wanted to find an opportunity to discuss something with Jiu Fujin, but I really couldn't spare the time. First, Jiu Fujin's own affairs were not finished, and then Enke ended it today. After that, it was grading, followed closely by

Offer prisoners at the Meridian Gate.

Lin Yutong was not in charge of the grading. She just explained and eliminated all the blank papers. As long as there was even one question in the answer that was not answered first, she would keep the paper and take a look at it. Nowadays, there is really a shortage of people.

There is a shortage of people everywhere. What I and Fourth Master have to do next are really not something that can be done just by writing a few articles.

This matter is not under my control, but I still have to go along with the matter of offering prisoners at the Meridian Gate.

And it’s still relied on across the board.

When the dress is worn on the body, there are nine layers of court crowns layered on top of the head, each with huge beads. The crown alone weighs several kilograms. This does not include the beads on the neck...

Lin Yutong muttered to Fourth Master: "Our etiquette service sometimes has to be simpler when it is time to be simpler..." I dare not say the reason of being too extravagant, but at least it is too tiring.

The Fourth Master laughed at Lin Yutong's laziness, "You can't even be pretty anymore." I don't know how many people are envious of your clothes. Even if you hide it at home and look at it, it will be a sin of beheading.

Lin Yutong simply ignored the other meanings and just looked in the mirror and thought about what Fourth Master said about "smelly beauty", "Is it beautiful?"

You are so old! Where has your beauty gone?

There was no perfunctory expression on the fourth master's face, he was extremely serious and without any hesitation, "Beautiful! The most beautiful."

Lin Yutong remembered the lyrics: You are the most beautiful in my heart~ Every smile is intoxicating——

Then she pursed her lips and smiled at Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master was so scared by her laughter that he raised his hand and touched his face, "Dirty?" What's wrong with this?

Lin Yutong glared at him with a fierce face, "Tacit understanding! Where is the tacit understanding?"

Just stop being tacit.

"The Queen is still waiting." The Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong, who was still under too much pressure recently, and she had a bad temper. He knew that she had never had the heart of a grown-up woman, and living her small life was what she felt was most important.

It was an ideal living condition. Moreover, she always tried her best to do what she was good at. Other times, it was just fine. After coming back, the string in her heart was actually tighter than her own.

She loves this land and wishes she could turn this country into a fat man in one breath. She loves herself, but she is afraid that she will still have regrets when she leaves.

Therefore, she was anxious, especially when she was trapped in the harem and wanted to do a lot of things but had many worries, she was even more anxious. She was even slightly anxious.

However, this kind of thing requires time and cannot be rushed.

He told her this truth on the road, and then said: "...Do your best to obey fate! Our tasks actually have two tasks. One is to sow seeds, and we will definitely not see them sprout, grow, and bear fruit. The other is to cultivate successors.

, Raise an heir who can fertilize, water and take care of the seeds." He looked at Lin Yutong's belly and said, "Giving a child and raising her to be an excellent heir is more important than anything else." Honghui Hongyun's children

, I was taught very well by her.

When the two of them were talking privately, Su Peisheng and the waiters followed a little further away, and heard the long-lived master saying things like "sowing seeds" and "heirs".

Seeing that the Queen Mother's car was already in front, he quickly coughed to remind her.

Saying this in public...ahem...seems a bit inappropriate.

The two people, completely unaware that they had been misled, went over to say hello to the Queen Mother, and then they set off with their sons to the Meridian Gate.

The capital is very lively today, and wealthy families have already booked the restaurants on both sides of the road. Small traders are doing business along the street, selling melon seeds, peanut candied candies, handkerchiefs, and headdresses. Anyway, no matter what they sell, the business is good.

It is rare for ordinary people to see such a grand event, so they all go out with their families. Fourteen and nine admirals are busy today.

Security issues are a big problem.

This report said that sparks popped out of the sesame cake stall at Xijiekou and almost caused a fire. The other report said that there was a fight at the Liutiao Hutong. The reason was that a leper named Ding got jealous of the little wife named Wang. Or they were arrested again and again.

There was a thief living there, and the children there almost asked the patters to take them away. There were too many people there, and there was almost a stampede.

What the hell is this thing called?

It was these things that kept his busy feet off the ground, and he jumped angrily, "I asked the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to go around the streets beating gongs and drums to publicize fire and theft prevention. Watch your wife and children not to get in the crowd."

"Squeeze. If you don't take these words to heart, something will happen now. It's time!" After that, he added, "Keep an eye on it! See who is responsible. I will be punished later, severely."

If you don’t punish, you won’t know the benefits.” Do you know that these errand runners now have to get overtime pay for their work? Where does this money come from? When the admiral’s office has no extra money, I want to give it to the subordinates

These are rewarded one or two for good work. Where do you get the money? Pay it out of your own pocket? It's too beautiful for them to forget it. Otherwise, what should I do? Ask Shiliu to borrow money!

He was almost bored to death with all the trivial things here, and he was very angry. Then Yue Zhongqi led people into the city.

It was really a roar of gongs, drums, and firecrackers... Haha! After leading troops for so many years, people called General Wang, General Wang, and then in the blink of an eye, Yue Zhongqi got such a huge advantage.

So angry!

Look! I didn’t know but I thought it was the No. 1 scholar parading on horseback.

The fourth master stood at the front, followed closely by several princes, and then the noble ministers.

Lin Yutong accompanied the Queen Mother to watch the ceremony, and pointed to the people below to ask the Queen Mother to identify who they were. Several concubines also came to join in the fun, followed by these Fujins. The women did not dare to speak loudly, and only pointed at the soldiers below.

Give pointers.

Yue Zhongqi is also a second-hand man. This time they sacrificed prisoners. They also had several cannons with them when they entered the city. In addition, there was a firewood warehouse team holding firewood warehouses. Of course, these weapons were approved by the fourth master.

There are no cannonballs or bullets inside.

He went to the city and staged this battle to let people know that this victory was not due to Yue Zhongqi's ability or meritorious service, but all because of Long Live Lord's wisdom and divine weapons.

He didn't say a word, but the flattery was heard loud and clear. Fourth Master is not a person who likes to listen to flattery, so he allowed Yue Zhongqi to do this for the same purpose as a military parade, that's all.

Lin Yutong whispered to the Queen Mother about these weapons: "... Compared with cold weapons, they are more lethal and can attack from a distance..."

The Empress Dowager was frightened when she heard, "The Emperor's safety..." If someone opened a wooden warehouse from a distance, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Yutong laughed: "There is a spear and a shield. Don't worry."

While she was talking, those who were listening behind her heard voices of admiration from time to time. Shifujin lowered her eyelids. She felt that she had to send a letter to her parents' family. If this continued, the court's attitude towards Mongolia would probably change.

It would be better if you don't rub the tiger's beard, but if you dare to... just get rid of one of them, it will be a piece of cake.

But Bafujin's eyes flickered, and then dropped. His heart was fluctuating violently, and he felt that his thoughts were crazy and absurd, so he suppressed them with great difficulty. When he looked up, he saw everyone raising their glasses. It turned out to be a tribute to the soldiers.

Celebration wine.

She also lifted it up as she walked away. Seeing that everyone was infected by the atmosphere of the scene, they all put it to their lips and drank it in one gulp. She was no exception, raised her neck and frowned and drank it in one gulp.

After taking this sip, I was on fire. I touched the wine on my lips with a handkerchief, and for some reason, a nauseating feeling came up. I couldn't help but cover my mouth with the handkerchief, "Uh..." and retched.

.

The female relatives were all stunned.

what's the situation?

Concubine Hui frowned, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Dafujin Zhang Jia say: "Is there an eighth younger brother?"

This time, because the concubines were all here, the Fujins were guarding their mother-in-law and did not go in order.

The ones closest to Lin Yutong are the Thirteenth Fujin and the Fourteenth Fujin.

Not to mention the fourteenth, the thirteenth and the fifteenth were both raised by Concubine De. It was their duty for their daughters-in-law to serve the Queen Mother.

Ba Fujin and Da Fujin followed behind Concubine Hui.

Now when Da Fujin said this, everyone was stunned. Even Lin Yutong was stunned. After all, things are still a little different now than in the past. Earlier in his life, Lin Yutong checked Ba Fujin's pulse. It was because he was born infertile. If you want to think about it,

It is not difficult to have a child in the future, as long as the operation is done. But there are some differences between now and before. It is hard to say whether she will still be in the same condition. This fallopian tube surgery requires laparoscopic hysteroscopy or

It is a combination of the two. Even if Western medicine is developed now, it is still far away from this. Moreover, there are many problems with the fallopian tube. Is it blockage or water accumulation? Or simply congenital fallopian tube stenosis. Before taking the pulse, she

It's really hard to tell. As for whether she's pregnant? Well... Bafujin's makeup is too thick, and her face can't be seen, so it's hard for her to judge.

But Bafujin looked like she was pregnant. She covered her mouth and kept retching. When Dafujin said she was pregnant, she almost covered her belly in surprise.

Based on this reaction, everyone felt that 80% of the time it was really possible that she was pregnant.

It is said that the filial piety ceremony will not be until February next year. There is still one year left. As the daughter-in-law of the late emperor, is this not in line with etiquette?

Actually that's not how it works.

The period of filial piety is divided into hot filial piety and keeping filial piety. Generally, hot filial piety lasts forty-nine days, and if the rules are more stringent, it lasts for a hundred days. During these hundred days, if you do such and such things that lead to pregnancy, this is absolutely

He will be impeached to death by the imperial censor and reviled by the people of the world. This stage is mourning wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety. After the hot filial piety, it is to keep filial piety.

The mourning system stipulates that after a person dies, the mourning period is three years, which is actually twenty-seven months. After the death of grandparents or parents, the eldest son or step-grandson must observe mourning for three years. During the three years of mourning, those who observe mourning must

There are the following requirements: first, you must not be an official; if the emperor is not allowed to seize love, this is another matter. Second, you must not take the exam. This is a hard target. If a candidate takes the exam during the filial piety period, the result will not only be that his fame will be reduced.

, I am afraid that you will not be eligible to take the imperial examination again for the rest of your life. Third, you are not allowed to marry, you must observe filial piety at home for three years, study behind closed doors, and refuse worldly affairs;

Folks also stipulate that Spring Festival couplets cannot be pasted during the period of mourning, and descendants must go to the graves of the deceased every seven days to burn paper. It ends after May 7th, and they must observe mourning for three years. In the years of mourning, red couplets cannot be posted on every new year. No couplets are allowed in the first year.

, stick yellow paper or blue paper in the second year, and stick pink paper in the third year. At the end of the three years of mourning, go to the grave and give the deceased a paper to make a house and a golden boy. After burning the paper, it is all over.

It has been more than a year since the death of the late emperor, and the period of fervent filial piety has passed no matter what. For the sake of good looks, many families generally will not conceive children before the anniversary. More sophisticated families will only keep it for three years.

It's not that it doesn't happen. But you can't force people, right?

Bafujin has already passed his anniversary, so it’s not a big deal. It’s not unreasonable. Besides, Shouxiao emphasized the eldest son or grandson. The fourth master is not the eldest son or the eldest son, but he inherited the old man’s legacy.

Family business. So strictly speaking, his status is no different from that of the eldest son, so the period of filial piety is the longest. And it must be implemented more thoroughly. It is for this reason that Lin Yutong has never been in a hurry to have children.
To be continued...
