Chapter 115 She Will Die
"Thank you, Queen Mother! I love you!"
"Hahaha, I love you too~mua! Is this how foreigners blow kisses?"
This empress dowager is different from any other empress dowager in our stereotypes.
Not only did she not keep an eye on the emperor's harem, she also ignored state affairs and all the trivial matters in the harem. She actively absorbed the emerging culture and interests of the contemporary era and was only keen on living her own little life.
It was said that she was imprisoned in the palace all her life, with the Empress Dowager above her and the Four Heavenly Kings below her, and her life was very depressing.
But from He Zhun Yierha's point of view, the Queen Mother's behavior is a kind of Tao Yuanming-style contentment after "being willing to let go".
*
The harvest this time was truly rich.
Her cat received a "salary" from the empress dowager, so it could be considered a cat of high rank. In the future, when the concubines in the harem saw it, they had to show some respect to it.
After all, this was a cat that had been decreed by the Empress Dowager to be provided with food.
Laugh to death.
After completing the reunion with Yinreng, I can think about the chance encounter after returning to the palace, and it is also time to start making arrangements to leave the palace.
What you can't get is always the best.
And what you get with all your efforts will be held in your hands and cherished like a treasure for a long time in the future.
At that time, it is the next step to cultivate a love brain, which Jun Yierha would like to call "endless garlic cloves".
This matter of 'chance encounter' cannot be handled by her personally.
We have to let Kangxi, who has been in a positive mood recently, quietly make trouble.
How could those secret guards who thought they were hiding in the dark hide from her perception?
Kangxi thought that what he had investigated was all what she wanted him to see.
So she didn't mind letting Kangxi see a little more, and have more expectations and prospects that would be beneficial to himself besides "watching for fun".
Tomorrow, Yinreng's confident "imperial cuisine" for entertaining guests will be the first breakthrough.
Food, sex and nature are part of human nature. Even if you rely on willpower to force yourself to do so-called "health preservation", your physiological instincts will not be reduced in the slightest because of "self-discipline".
While thinking about this, he and Zhun Yierha took the senior palace maid serving the empress dowager and walked towards the place where the families of the Eight Banners nobles lived.
He and Fucha performed a scene of young swallows returning to their nests outside the room.
After the maidservant beside Fucha invited the empress dowager's people to the side room for tea, Hejun Yierha and Fucha returned to the room, closed the doors and windows, and began to talk in private.
He Zhun Yi Er Ha said straight to the point,
“Tomorrow the prince will treat me to some rare delicacies from the imperial court.
But mother, I have already told you about the quality of the food in the imperial court. It is so bad that even dogs would shake their heads. "
Hearing her daughter's reckless speech, Fu Cha immediately got a headache and covered her mouth and complained,
"You'd better find two doors!"
"No one, don't worry, mother."
"It won't work if there is no one. You have to remember, you have to remember from the bottom of your heart, the royal family is the most noble, and their toilets are fragrant!"
"...Okay, I'll remember that, mother."
Fucha nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and asked,
"Go on with what you were about to say. The food in the imperial kitchen is so unpalatable that even dogs are shaking their heads. What next?"
"..."
"Then, mother, you need to cooperate with me.
Take me to the small kitchen later to make some hand-rolled noodles and some auxiliary ingredients. I will pick them up tomorrow afternoon."
The prince invited me to dinner, but the food in the imperial kitchen was terrible, so I had to make it myself...
Fu Cha suddenly understood and nodded.
"Okay, I roughly understand.
In the future, the maids around you will also prepare everything for you. You can keep some prescriptions at home and your mother will use them to train them.
But the problem is...
Mother, I don’t know how to do it, but I have to perform for the palace maid, right? "
“This is easy, just treat it as playing with mud.
I'll write down the recipe, and you can just yell at me and teach me."
"I see. This mother really understands."
Under the influence of the spiritual mind method, Fu Cha calmly accepted the fact that her daughter could make some new and strange foods.
While she was weaving lies in her mind to tell others, she was also inadvertently deceiving herself.
The Dong E family has always been a food-loving family, and the Fu Cha family has done some research on Chinese studies related to food. The combination of the two, coupled with Dong E's bold and unconstrained conjectures...
Amid the bubbling sounds of boiling water and various kinds of cooking fumes in the small kitchen, He Junyi'erha finally told Fu Cha the real purpose of his visit today.
"Speaking of which, mother, I have something else to ask of you."
Did you choose to say it here on purpose?
Fu Cha nodded, and then deliberately fiddled with the pots and pans in the kitchen, not trying to do anything, but just to make some noise and liveliness.
"How is the caravan heading south from our side?"
"It's going pretty well. Last quarter, we made a net profit of 23,000 taels of silver and 300 taels of gold."
Silver in the early Kangxi period was slightly more valuable than in the later period, and roughly double its common value.
“Those Eight Banners masters, especially those who have marriage alliances with Mongolia, spend all their money in gold, so it’s a little hard to determine the price.
I can only say that I made less money, but I definitely didn’t lose money.”
"It's okay."
He Junyi'erha quickly made a simple account in his mind, roughly checked the expenditure, time, income, and distribution, and then nodded.
"In terms of business, have you found any rivals?" she continued to ask.
"Yes, Tong Jia has already learned it in a very good way.
Then there were the Guwalgiya clan and the Plain White Banner, who also set up their own caravan.
But unlike us, they transported goods directly from the Jiangnan area to the capital with great fanfare, such as rouge, cloth, and some Han things that we don't often use.
My mother had an impression of their shop. It had been heavily advertised recently, selling high-end study items.
Han people would go shopping occasionally, but the real Eight Banners in our capital, even if they were not going to fill vacancies or take the path of imperial examinations, would rather buy inferior items than buy things from Guarjia shops when their wives were busy. "
Good guy.
This Guarjia Gefuhe relies on his special skills and is really restless.
"Okay, let's just keep the size of our caravan the same. We don't make money from this route, we just want to get some intelligence. We just need to keep it stable, look good, and avoid people getting suspicious."
"Don't worry, mother. We stay at home. Who knows how a family like ours makes a living?"
After giving instructions on the caravan model, he got down to business with Jun Yilha.
“Let them do something for me.
Wang, the daughter of Wang Guozheng, a county magistrate in Suzhou, was probably raised at home as a high-class skinny horse since she was a child.
Don't do it yourself, and you can be more flexible in your means.
There was really nothing else to do, so I forced her out to stay overnight. The Han people have many rules, so she had to die anyway."
Hearing this, Fucha frowned, "You don't have to do anything?"
"Yes, she doesn't need to do anything, her parents will force her to death."
Fu Cha was actually skeptical about these deeds that only existed in "legends".
Isn't this really just a rumor spread by the Manchus?
What kind of parents, when their daughter is lost, don't want to find her and everything will be fine, but instead kill her on the spot, and what kind of parents are they talking about maintaining the family tradition?
So she couldn't help but ask with some disbelief,
"Really?"
"Hasn't mother read those books? The Han people can be really harsh and ruthless to women."
Fu Cha listened to He Zhun Yi Erha's affirmation without any doubt, but she felt a little dissatisfied and said,
"If this broken rule was put in place before we entered the country, no one would pass by.
Herding, fighting, and raising a family, which one of them cannot be done without our aunt taking care of things outside?
Alas, the world is really going downhill and it is so gloomy. You have to be careful and avoid such things in the future.
His Majesty seems to be a believer in Confucianism, and even your father is now forced to speak a few idioms, otherwise he will not be able to hold this position any longer."
