Chapter 11 The Eleventh Chapter of Virtuous Empress Delighted by Illness

Qianlong was worried about the queen's illness, so he brought Wang and Nala to ride in the snow.When I entered the Yikun Palace and took out my pocket watch to look at it, it was just after Xu hour, and the night was slowly falling. In the snowy light, I saw a few girls busy taking their meals down, and the smoke from the decoction stove in the west chamber was wafting up, filling the courtyard. The strong fragrance of medicine, the light in the small kitchen in the east wing and the north room has already been turned on, and a middle-aged imperial doctor wearing a six-rank crown can be seen writing prescriptions through the window - this palace is not as quiet as the Palace of Compassion and Ning, with people in the corridor Buildings, but they don't exchange a word with each other, which seems a bit mysterious.Qianlong stood and thought for a while, if he had called the imperial doctor for questioning, and the queen in the room heard it, she would have to change clothes again and come out to greet her.The three of them went straight to the empress's main bedroom silently, but they saw Qin Meimei and Tang'er supporting the empress one by one, they had just finished taking the medicine, and they were waiting for her to clean her mouth and brush her teeth.The two of them were concentrating on serving, but the queen saw Qianlong in a blink of an eye, struggled to sit up straight, and said: "The emperor is here--people in my palace are becoming less and less good at serving errands, and I don't even know how to say a word." !" Tang'er and Qin Meimei hurriedly said hello.

"Get up." Qianlong glanced at Tang'er quickly, leaned over and said to the queen: "I look at your complexion... It seems to be better than yesterday, and there is some blood on the cheeks. It still hurts. Fatigue, lack of energy? I just saw that the imperial physician has also changed—is it wrong to take Lang Junru’s medicine?—Don’t move, just lie halfway like this——Qin Meimei, take that magpie Dengzhi pillow and give it to your master Empress put it under her head—stupid! If you want to put it like this, you can’t leave a space under the neck, and you don’t need to use force when you make it firm, look?!" Qin Meimei replied repeatedly: "The slave is a stupid bastard! Just give it to the master like this!" Seeing the emperor caring so much for the queen, the women couldn't help but feel a little jealous, they looked at each other and pursed their lips and smiled.

The queen was half lying comfortably on the kang, and seeing her husband sitting sideways and staring at her, his eyes were full of concern and love, she was moved, she bit her lips and said with a smile: "The emperor has become such a mother-in-law now. A while ago It seems that I took the wrong medicine, and yesterday was very bad. I was still thinking about it last night; I once said that if I don’t get well, please ask the emperor to give me the posthumous title of 'Xiaoxian', do you remember? The doctor changed today, and it was old He Mengshun's son who came in to see the pulse. After taking a dose of his medicine in the morning, he felt that it was much better. I just took another dose, and I felt that the cold, soreness and numbness in my stomach are slowly dissolving. .Doctors and patients, seeing a doctor and taking medicine also have to pay attention to the word fate." Qianlong felt relieved and said with a smile: "Why are you like this? I want to go to the posthumous title! Listen to my words, everything goes more often. Think about the benefits. How to take care of yourself, what kind of food to eat, how to have fun, be happy with your destiny, and get better quickly from any illness. If you just stick to the horns, what posthumous title, what nine secluded and eighteen prisons, you will be full of Yin Qi, and you will not be sick He will still get sick!" He then ordered, "Isn't that Zheng Er who cooks for your mother? Tell him to come over, and the imperial doctor." At this moment, he spared no time and took a serious look at Tang'er. , I saw Tang'er wearing a lotus-colored skirt, a pair of half-sized feet exposed under the skirt, and bronze-colored Ning silk embroidered shoes with the word "Shou'er". Son, with a head of radiant hair, skin as smooth as jade, and small hands as white as ivory.That sweet smile is really alluring.Qianlong couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I haven't seen my siblings for a long time, how are you doing? The child must be fine too."

"Thank you, Long Live Lord, for thinking about it." Tang'er quickly squatted down and glanced at Qianlong, but when he was about to speak, Qianlong stopped him with a wave of his hand.It turned out that Zheng Er and the imperial physician had come in to kowtow.When Qianlong saw the imperial physician, he was less than forty years old, with a long face and five long beards fluttering on his chest, and asked, "Are you He Mengshun's son? What's your name? Why haven't you seen him before?" When the imperial doctor asked, he mentioned his father's name, kowtowed and replied loudly: "He Mengshun is the strict family. The minister's name is He Yaozu. He studied medicine with his father since he was a child, and also studied for the imperial examination. At the age of 30, he failed to achieve fame, so he only got a filial piety. , he gave up the idea of ​​being an official and concentrated on studying medicine. He also worshiped Wang Shiming of Huangshan as his teacher and studied the art of Qihuang. He practiced medicine in front of Teacher Wang for eight years. You violated the rules, so until today you have the blessing to see the holy face..."

"Well, very good. Officials can't be changed into good doctors. Five generations of ancestors are not enough. They have learned the way deep in the mountains. The way is right, and the ambition is also commendable!" Qianlong said: "I just don't understand. He Mengshun treats qi, phlegm, heart disease, dizziness You have reached the pinnacle, and your family's knowledge is so good, why do you still seek outsiders? Do you still have any dissatisfaction with your ancestral medical skills?" He Yaozu said solemnly: "I was ordered by my father to go out to study. The so-called reaching the pinnacle is a disease. After recovering from illness, even my father would not dare to bear the false praises. The Dao is so deep that it cannot be measured. The knowledge of Qihuang dialectics is as high as nine skyscrapers and deeper than Sanquan. If you study hard all your life, you will be able to enter the hall and enter the house in the way of a sage. Unlimited blessings. My father has retired, and he is still working hard to this day, and he has learned from each other. Yao Zu is a young student who has not learned the art of medicine. Do you dare to be careful when you practice this medicine? I felt that I could not underestimate this new imperial doctor, and praised: "You are very sensible. But I also know a little bit about medical theory. The way is deep, not between words and words, and the use of it lies in one's heart. Treating symptoms is like fighting an enemy, and using medicine is like medicine. There is a lot of knowledge in using soldiers. Tell me about the empress’s pulse and symptoms.” He Yaozu fell to the ground in admiration, kowtowed repeatedly, and said: “I would like to receive the oracle, which is ten times clearer than my slave’s own thinking. The empress’ menstrual blood three times At the end of the month, the doctors thought that the empress's phoenix body had been weak for a long time because of the accumulated cold in the body, which caused the deficiency of the Ren channel, the blockage of the channel, the groaning in night dreams, the heat and trembling of the body, all because the kidney cold was not tonic. According to the qi of the five internal organs, the kidney qi belongs to cold. Now the metal is hot and the water is cold. The original way of mutual generation, instead of cutting each other. The doctors insist on the common medical principles of seeing the deficiency and not letting it go, and refuse to think about it further. The use of divergent medicines to inject prescriptions, good medicines, and good medicines, entered the five internal organs to help the tyrants, but became medicine for tigers and wolves. This is what I dare not flatter. Therefore, the more you attack, the queen sometimes seems to be relieved, but in fact the greater the loss in the interior." Nalashi was listening, and said in surprise: "That's okay, isn't that the wrong treatment all the time?" He Yaozu laughed and said: "This is a student's opinion. Fortunately, the imperial hospital has always been cautious in medication, and the dosage is not large. The queen has always been calm and graceful. This is like a big golden tripod. Although it has misplaced something, it has a large capacity and great endurance, so there is no major hindrance. The queen used the medicine of the minister. If there is a sudden cold The feeling that the broken is gradually melting, the minister is more confident."

The queen lay on the kang and tried to "feel" while listening, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes. There is a feeling of breaking the ice. It hurt at first, and then it gradually disappeared." He Yaozu said: "The slave checked the pulse the day before yesterday, and found a happy pulse .But the pulse condition everywhere is uneven and covered up. I checked the pulse this morning, and the queen’s phoenix body is no longer serious. The happy pulse is even more obvious. I beg the empress to have another examination and make a conclusion." Before he finished speaking, Qianlong was already so happy that his face was beaming with joy, and he even said: "Put the pillow on the queen! Move the chair to the imperial doctor quickly!" But He Yaozu didn't dare to sit down, and kowtowed: "The servant is used to kneeling when he checks the pulse of the empress, so I still kneel. it is good."

Qianlong suddenly thought of Li Jiagui's line "Slaves are used to standing and can't sit", and couldn't help smiling.Nala stood aside, feeling sore in his heart. Although Wang's status is low, at least he already has a daughter. In the future, at worst, he can be named Princess Heshuo or something. I look forward to luck day and night, and the emperor often flips his name , but it’s just seeing the red every month, and letting it go every year. One day in the future, the beauty will wither, the color will fade and fall out of favor, even Li Taifei who lives in Changchun Garden may not be able to match it?But Tang'er was focused on talking to the emperor alone, staring at He Yaozu absent-mindedly.He Yaozu had already let go of the queen's wrist, and the old monk closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, saying, "Your majesty, empress, congratulations! The empress really has a happy pulse! But the medicine was improper earlier, and the fetal gas was also damaged by the cold. All ginseng and deer antler Ministers like donkey-hide gelatin thought that it should not be used. Mix human milk with brown sugar in an appropriate amount, and take it regularly, and it will naturally support Zhongzheng." He thought for a while, and said: "The milk of women who belong to the horse is the best." Qianlong was very happy His face was full of red, and he said in a loud voice: "When the queen entered the palace, the judge said that she had the appearance of a man, and she was as expected! A son is more precious than a mother, and of course Yonglian will be crowned crown prince. A new son, wouldn't it be the crown prince's natural wings?" Pass Qin Meimei, "You go to Naizi Mansion tomorrow, and pick out five horse nannies yourself, and they will be served in Yikun Palace. Those with strong physique, strong milk, and thick juice, if not enough, go to the folks to choose!" Order: "Take fifty taels of gold to reward He Yaozu! He Yaozu will reward you with a five-rank crown, and he will specially serve the queen mother and empresses and noble masters."

The queen took the right medicine, and with the advice of Imperial Physician He, she got rid of her self-doubt of "life is not forever".Knowing that she was conceived again, her heart was naturally smooth and joyful, she sat up firmly, ordered someone to reward her, and rewarded the Daoxi palace man again.Qianlong was so happy that he forgot about Zheng Er. Seeing that he was still crawling, he smiled and said, "It's not a lot to ask you to come in. You have a habit of stealing things and loving children, so you are poor. But you are good at cooking." , This is your blessing if it suits the appetite of your master and empress. I still say that, if the empress eats a tael of meat, she will reward you with a tael of silver. Give me a reward, don't be like those petty people who carry things out to sell with a mean heart, even my face will be swept away, you understand!"

"Slave Zheng Er understands!" Zheng Er smiled and kowtowed repeatedly, "The slave has been serving the empress again since the master's rabbit sin, and he has never made any mistakes. Chasing the master's empress Xi'er, the slave also has to work hard to curry favor. Not only to curry favor with the old lady Master, you are still preparing the slave's son to curry favor with the little master..." A few nondescript words of flattery made everyone laugh.Yikun Gongyang was overflowing with happiness.After thinking about it, Qianlong got an idea, and said to Wang: "You go back to the palace, I will turn over your brand tonight." He laughed and said to Zheng Er: "You are right. You don't study, and you have this idea. It can also be regarded as the word "loyalty" - it's getting late, I and Tang'er will go to Nala's to sit and talk first, and get a solid car to send Mrs. Fu Heng back. What's the queen, tell Wang That's it." The Queen laughed and said, "What's the matter with me? The Tibetan incense sent by the Tulku Rinkapa is about to run out, and the emperor used it for offering sacrifices to the heavens. I would like to ask for a few."

"It should be done," Qianlong said with a smile, "Ask someone to pass it to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and just take it to the House of Internal Affairs!" He stood there and said a few words, and then he got into the car with Nalashi and Tang'er. Nala's palace is in the Jinghe Palace on the east side of the imperial garden. She is a noble concubine, and her living standards are only slightly smaller than Yikun Palace and Zhongcui Palace.There is also a hall of five couplets in front.The bedroom in the back is a large Xieshan-style house with six rooms in a row, the two rooms on the east side are used for receiving guests, the two rooms on the west side are used by maids-on-duty, and the two rooms in the middle are for her daily living.As soon as the three of them entered her main sleeping hall, they immediately felt the warm and fragrant air permeating their bones. In the huge hall, there was only a smoked cage in the warm pavilion, but the whole room was full of heat, warm but not dry. , It is intoxicating.In the past, Qianlong and Tang'er's trysts were all arranged by Nala. Since Tang'er gave birth, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and today they reunited. Nala expected that they would have some affectionate words. The servant on the kang took off his boots and shawl for him, and said: "The six halls of mine are all underground. There are three stoves on the east side of the hall, and three convection stoves on the west side. The six halls are as warm. I'll serve my master here first, I'll get some lily incense and burn it..." After saying that, he avoided going out.Tang'er blushed, opened her mouth to say something, then swallowed it back, and let her go, and the maids backed out knowingly.

The hall fell silent immediately, and the rustling of falling snow outside could be heard, only the golden chiming clock rattled unhurriedly. "Tang'er, come to me..." Qianlong looked at Tang'er under the flickering red candle, seeing her leaning on her side with her head bowed, her face flushed, shyly rubbing her belt, making her more beautiful and lovely, so he said softly: "I haven't seen you in a year, you look even more beautiful..." Tang'er rubbed her feet to Qianlong's side, and just about to speak, Qianlong took her into his arms, put his other arm around her waist, hugged her tightly, and kissed her mouth to mouth.Tang'er was rubbed by him until her whole body became weak, and she was half paralyzed on the edge of the kang, her beautiful eyes were half closed and half opened, she stared at the man in front of her as if she was drunk, felt his tongue sticking out, and gritted her teeth for a little "resistance" , and opened his mouth.Qianlong was rubbing his body all over, panting and asking: "Do you want me or not? Where do you think? Where do you think? You are really a beautiful woman..." Tang'er smiled lightly, closed her eyes and said softly: "I think it is Think about it, think about it, think about it!" With one hand, he untied himself, while holding Qianlong's shoulder with the other, he murmured: "My sin is getting worse and worse. ...Be gentle tonight, I haven't called Fu Heng for a hundred days after giving birth, I'm afraid of giving birth..." He said with a "chi" smile, and hugged Qianlong even tighter. But Qianlong slowly let go of her, and gently pulled out the hand that was groping, and wiped it on the pillow thoughtfully... Tang'er opened her eyes, looked at him puzzled, and said: " Long live Lord, you..." Qianlong gently tied the knots for her, stroked her hair pitifully, and said with a deep sigh: "Luoyang flowers are good, I don't own them...Tang Er, Remember what we said at the Guanyin Pavilion in Xianruoguan Garden when we broke up the year before last?" "Then how can I forget? But I also said that I would rather go to hell. With your love, even if I die, I will be satisfied." "I won't allow you to say that!" Qianlong hurriedly covered her mouth, "I can no longer associate with you like this, firstly because Fu Heng's reputation is important, and secondly because of my son, we are all alive and see each other often It's such a long time to meet. I don't want you to end up in Jinxia's fate, and make me sad for the rest of my life..." Qianlong said, feeling sore in his heart, choked with tears, and already shed tears. "Even if I die, I will never forget you—" before he finished speaking, Tang'er hastily covered his mouth with her hand, and Tang'er wept, "Which brand name is this servant? Your majesty, don't talk nonsense." I can't live anymore!" Qianlong gently wiped her tears for her, and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, okay, if I don't say anything, it's okay?—You seem to have something to say when you enter the palace this time. ?” Tang'er checked her clothes up and down, licked her disheveled sideburns, pulled Qianlong's wrinkled front, and sighed: "Fortunately, you are still a father, the baby is about to pass a hundred days, and there is no name yet." , you made a wish to name him Fukang'an, and if you don't issue an order at the soup cake meeting, when will you say it?" Qianlong laughed and said, "Weird, come in under such heavy snow! Let me tell you, I have already reported to Lafayette, so I am called Fukang'an! I was planning a soup and cake party tomorrow, and your family is full of congratulatory guests, and you specially send a supervisor to deliver the decree. You are so eager! I will make an order, you Are you satisfied?" Tang'er twisted her body coquettishly, and said, "I'm afraid that your nobleman will forget things! Tomorrow, I will issue a decree to the government - what do I want - huh?" "Of course! Kang An is originally a dragon, and he has lost his reputation if he can't get the title of elder brother. You must give him enough face." Qianlong said with a smile, "If Fu Heng is just an idiot uncle, I will change the way. I also want you to come to the palace, but he is a man of both civil and military affairs, he is a Confucian general and he is the prime minister, for the country and society, so I have to wrong you and Kang'er. This is fate!" At this time, Tang'er remembered Fu Heng's wish to be a general and lead the army. She collected herself and said, "Master is so considerate, even if the slaves are ground to powder, they will not be able to repay you. Fu Heng often said in private, follow the emperor like this." My master, if you don’t make a big career and make a big name, a man will come to this world in vain!” So, he euphemistically mentioned to Qianlong that Fu Heng wanted to lead the army to conquer Jinchuan, and it was over. He also said: "Fu Heng is physically stronger than Neqin, and he has more minds. He was fighting Heicha Mountain ahead. Zhang Guangsi's general Fan Gaojie lost thousands of troops and did not see Heicha Mountain. It wasn't that Fu Heng copied Piao Gao Laoying, the court may have to go through a lot of trouble!" After finishing speaking, he stared at Qianlong without saying a word. "The imperial court has made other arrangements for the conquest of Jinchuan." Qianlong suddenly became serious, walked to the door of the outer hall, and said to the eunuch on duty, "Bring some tea and ask your master to come too."Then he turned around and said to Tang'er: "Looking up and down, let Qingfu go about the big and small Jinchuan. That place made him a little bit confused about right and wrong. Don't think that the battle is so easy to fight, and the sky will fall." It seems that the credit has been obtained. Qingfu indulged Ban Gun and fled into Xiaojinchuan, and Zhang Guangsi was besieged by 40,000 to 50,000 people for several years without any results. It's about the safety of the roads leading to Tibet, so I have to let go of it for the time being. Neqin and Fu Heng thought that this battle could be won overnight, but this idea is that they don't know the difficulty of the war. Whoever pulls the shit or who wipes the ass. If Qingfu If he loses again, I won't let him go. Why let two novices, Naqin and Fu Heng, take the risk?" As he spoke, Nala came in with a silver bottle.Seeing that Qianlong was talking, he didn't dare to say anything, poured a bowl of tea and stepped back.Qianlong said with a smile: "You guys also drink tea, don't be strict about etiquette - what I said just now is just one level, Neqin and Boheng are now my right and left arms, the nine-ranked Minister of Zaifu, chop this piece of stinky meat with a bull knife , victory is not enough to show off, but defeat is shame for the court, public and private, I can't let them take risks easily. Do you understand?" "The servant understands." "There is one more important thing you don't understand." Qianlong said solemnly: "Although I own the world, I am the emperor, but I only act on behalf of the sky. The state is a public weapon, and it cannot be used for private purposes. Don't blush, Tanger. That's it." Queen, the one I respect the most, she is the lord of the six palaces and the mother of the world, but she can't interfere in politics. When politics comes from one, the world is peaceful; , This is where my great virtue lies, and it is not appropriate for you to intervene in state affairs like this—did Fu Heng ask you to come in and knock the wooden clock?" Although he tried his best to be euphemistic and relaxed, Tang'er had already heard the weight of the words, blushed suddenly, her heart was beating suddenly, and hurriedly said: "This is a servant who is thinking about it, and said something that I don't know, the emperor must not be suspicious." He. He ordered me to come, saying that he had already issued a secret letter to the emperor, asking me to enter the palace to greet Lafayette and the empress, not to brag about his political achievements, and not to talk about things other than housework. Talking about things that shouldn't be said to the master—he doesn't know that the emperor...seeing me alone—is Tang'er's fault, please forgive me..." The more she said, the more startled she became, and she knelt down tremblingly. "A single sentence scares you like this? - Get up!" Qianlong helped her up with both hands, stroked her shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "This is not a big mistake. Fu Heng is asking for a fight, not an order. Avoid war! His ambition, I will fulfill him sooner or later, just call him a picture in Lingyan Pavilion, a name in the Xianliang Temple. But you can’t say it. Once you say it, you can’t do it. You say it? You I wouldn't be willing to make an entry in the annals of history - Fu Heng asked his wife to be appointed by the emperor, so he was appointed general - isn't that a bad reputation?" Then he laughed, and Nala also laughed, Tang'er said : "The mouth of the emperor, alas... one moment makes people shudder, and another moment makes people laugh--I'm not so stupid, who wants that reputation?" Qianlong laughed and said: "Go back Let's hold a soup and cake party for your son. Tomorrow, I will naturally reward you with a lot of money. Nala, ask Tanger to take a warm sedan to take Tang'er back. The car is too bumpy, and the sedan is not as warm." Mrs. Nala hurriedly sent Tang'er away in a warm sedan chair, turned around and entered the hall, saw Qianlong stretching his feet, and two maids, one on each side, were helping him put on his boots. Except for the food, there is nothing at Wang’s place that compares with mine. I give the emperor a massage, and my body feels loose and exhausted, and it’s not too late to go there with a bowl of old Sanhe old mash.” Said to repel the maid, and personally He took off the boots on his feet, and pinched Qianlong's legs intentionally or unintentionally.Then he whispered into Qianlong's ear: "Master...and Tang'er don't have 'that', do they?" "Which one is there if there is no 'that'?" Qianlong Suxi Nala's playful words are charming and innocent, and she is half lying on the big pillow comfortably, and Nala's two small hands are gently kneaded, and she asks with a smile, "Even if there is no 'that' ', what has it to do with you?" Nala leaned over and kissed Qianlong's cheek, her voice was barely audible: "The emperor said that he would never 'that' with Tang'er again. You also said... I The 'that' of Wang's is better than Wang's..., and the spirit of the dragon and horse that he kept rewarded the slaves first-you see, your 'this'... just reward me...I just became famous..." Qianlong first Having been made passionate by Tang'er, she couldn't bear it any longer, and as soon as she turned over, she pressed the petite and exquisite Nalashi under her body... Fukang'an held a 100-day soup and cake party, and the whole family was busy, but in fact, there were very few male guests among the real guests.Fu Heng posted a list on the door three days ago: "All visiting officials with gifts must clearly sign and record the style of the gift, and those who give gifts from relatives and friends will return the gift with an equivalent amount of silver. Since you love your servants, you should fulfill them with reason and morality, and don't make your servants recite It is a name for being greedy for money and good goods. If there is no intention of fulfillment, it is to increase the crime for Fu Heng. Fu Heng can't spare three feet to impeach him, so that heaven can listen!" With this notice on the list, how many hopes were blocked? The domestic and foreign officials who tried to get promoted by cheating are actually small officials in Beijing. He used to be a friend of the poor pen and paper style when he was the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Get a silver reward.More than a dozen princes, Fujin, officials and family members of the six departments and nine ministers had taken care of them in advance, they came in tall cars and sedan chairs, walked in calmly, did not even hand over the ceremony, and went straight to the inner hall to chat with Tang'er.Fu Heng ruled the family with military law, with clear rewards and punishments. This time the soup cake meeting was estimated to cost 2,000 taels of silver, which was specially given to the poor friends who came to congratulate him, and another 2,000 taels were allocated for family members.Therefore, even though it was a soup and cake meeting to lose money and give up money, the family members were so busy that smoke was smoked under their feet, and there was no one pretending to be sick or lazy. Ye Lai Tang'er returned to the mansion, and explained in detail the reasons why Qianlong refused to allow Fu Heng to go to the expedition.Fu Heng asked very detailed questions, including Qianlong's demeanor and the atmosphere at the time.Chewing over and over again, he realized that Qianlong's painstaking effort was indeed a complete one, but he complained: "The imperial decree for Qingfu's return to Jinchuan has already been issued, and you still go in to fill up this ashes. If this method really works, I can't go there in person." Begging my sister to talk? Really, you are worrying about this, fortunately the emperor understands that if you want to let others go, you don’t know what to do with Jinger." "People are busy doing good things for you, but it's not good." Tang'er spat, "I have never done good things in front of you! It's not me asking, can you know what the emperor thinks of you?—— The dog bit Lu Dongbin!" As he spoke, he pulled off a quilt and his clothes and fell asleep.Thinking back, Fu Heng felt that there was nothing he could do with this woman, so he held her shoulder and comforted her softly for a long time before coaxing her away. Tang'er pulled him into the bed with one hand, and patted his forehead with the other and smiled: "You are really the devil I was destined for!" Xing, God damn heartless——he’s still a young “Master”!——Tomorrow morning, he still needs to receive orders and entertain guests, so why don’t he rest honestly? You are not mature, how can I look at you as a prime minister?" Fu Heng smiled and said: "You don't understand now, husband and wife are a family bond in the world, if Confucius can't have sex, he will have children and grandchildren? Last time Mr. Huang Weijun Come, sir, let me read his diary, such a Taoist, it says 'I had a meeting with Shanjing Dunlun last night' - it's rare for him to come up with the word 'Dunlun'!" Tang'er chuckled and said with a quilt The horns covered the face.Taking advantage of her joy, Fu Heng said: "Ming'er is busy at the Military Aircraft Office, I will accept the decree and go in to thank you, and you will be entertained by the guests at home--My lady, with the decree of giving a name, we are so bright, why bother?" Seeking perfection? Some of these family members here are sincere and good to us, some are afraid of me, and many ask me. Tell me in person, do you think I promise or not? ——If you say it is to fulfill me, it will be fulfilled In the end, okay?" In the morning, Wang Ren went to the mansion to announce the decree: "Fu Heng is a close relative of my heart and arm, and an old minister of the country. Now I am happy to have a son, and my heart is also happy for him. I would like to honor the empress dowager's order and give Fu Heng's eldest son the name of blessing." Kang'an, and the captain of the chariot and cavalry, to comfort the good minister Zhongjin, I respect you!" Fu Heng and his wife kowtowed and received the decree, rewarded Wang Ren, and immediately ordered the sedan chair to enter the palace to meet the queen mother and the emperor to express their gratitude. Fu Heng went out the second door and felt that the snow in the sky was a little lighter.The courtyard was full of long servants, some pushed snow with push boards, some built fires under the mat shed, some greeted the early guests and guided them to see Tang'er, there was a lot of noise, seeing him come out, They all stopped and lowered their heads to give way.Fu Heng ignored him, walked into the gate, and saw two people walking in hand in hand. They were both his friends when he was an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. One was called Dun Min and the other was called Dun Cheng. They were brothers.Fu Heng hurriedly smiled, walked up a few steps and said, "Second Master Dun, Third Master!"Thank you for remembering me, Fu Laoliu!It has been many days since we met, what good poems are there now?Let Six Brothers have a sneak peek!Are you still teaching in religious studies? "Walking with each other arm in arm. "The Sixth Master can talk backwards!" Dun Min was modest, smiling and silent, but Dun Cheng was bold and aggressive, and said with a smile: "We should have said these things, but you rushed to say them, making us speechless !" Fu Heng saw that there were still a group of low-level officials looking at him eagerly. If he was entangled by them, he would talk endlessly, and said with a smile: "I don't have these thoughts. I am still the old Fu Heng. I can do whatever I want in my heart. Said. In this position, you look very vigorous. I miss the days when I was in the same place the most. It was not big or small, and it was dark. You can come here as you like! Now that you are here today, just spend a day here, and I will go in and do it. Come back after work, call some opera singers, and listen to the opera while eating and chatting, we will not rest until we are drunk!" After saying this, he hurried to leave, because there was noise outside the door, as if someone at the door was scolding someone , so he called Xiao Wangtou and asked: "What's the matter? What kind of dignity is it to shout outside today?" Xiao Wangtou hurriedly said: "There is a woman dressed... and holding a child in her arms. She said that she was working in the mansion and wanted to congratulate the little master for a hundred days. She didn't have a gift list, and the person at the door didn't recognize—"" The emperor still has three poor relatives!" Fu Heng's face darkened, "I didn't even ask for clarification, so I blocked them out! Please come in!" A woman came in, not very old, only in her early twenties, with a sleeping child wrapped in felt on her back, with a bamboo basket on her left arm, she walked in step by step, wearing a blue indigo cotton gown, the front was well washed White, with patches on the sleeves, although shabby, the whole body is fully starched.Fu Heng stared at her approaching, suddenly recognized her, and said, "Isn't this Fangqing? It's so far away from the West Mountain, and you just came here!" He ordered the servant: "Take the basket!" Then he said to Dun Min, Duncheng said: "You guys come to me to borrow manuscripts to read. I boast about Cao Xueqin every day-this is Mr. Xueqin's wife, who is very close to my wife, and she also came to give blessings to my son-this is a pity The domestic slave dog sees people as inferior, and they don't know each other after only two or three years." Dun Min and Dun Cheng were startled, and couldn't help but look at each other: they always thought that Cao Xueqin was a senior gentleman.Even if the Cao family is not a rich family, it must be a well-to-do family. It was never expected that the family was so poor.Dun Cheng thought about it for a while, and went up to call Fang Qing and said, "Greetings to Mrs. Sister-in-law!" Dun Min followed suit and asked, "How is Mr. Xueqin recently? Is the old man now in Beijing?" Fang Qing was angered by the servant at the door, and when she came in, her heart was still full of sadness. Seeing that these two noble sons wrapped in silk were greeting her, her face suddenly turned pale, and she turned sideways. Avoiding their courtesy, he touched his knees with difficulty and went back to Wan Fu'er, saying, "I dare not honor the gift of the two masters. I don't know how the two masters are taboo, and what is our Cao master?" Fu Heng smiled and said: "This is Zhengzong's two golden branches and jade leaves, the great ancestor and the fifth grandson of the former Prince Ying, and the elder brother of the clan with a yellow belt! Now they are all studying in the Zongxue, and whenever they have time, they go to Prince Yi's mansion, or it is me, looking for Xueqin's manuscript poems. They are Xueqin's 'faithful lackey'!" Dun Min just laughed, but Dun Cheng said: "Since I am so admired, why not be a 'faithful lackey'? I saw it today. Ma'am, that means you are destined to be with your husband—we are a run-down clan, so don't believe in Mr. Fu's nonsense! Mrs. Sister-in-Law is loose and loose, come, son, let me hold you, can it be done?" He walked the snowy road for dozens of miles with his son, and he was exhausted. Seeing that these two people respected their husband like a god, with sincere expressions on their faces, he hesitated for a moment, handed the child to Duncheng, and said embarrassingly "My husband will be very happy to invite the two masters to hang out at the house some other day!" Then he said to Fu Heng: "There is nothing the sixth master knows about my family's situation, and he can't come up with a decent gift. I made a whole body for the young master." A jacket with white sleeves, a pair of tiger-toed shoes, a few pieces of steamed lotus rice cake (Lian Nian Gao) and sesame blossom cake. The master and wife were given a pair of plain cloth shoes. Thousands of miles of goose feathers, just to express your heart." Fu Heng smiled and nodded again and again: "I have to go to the court to do some business. After you had the wedding wine, you still have some gift in return—Xiao Wangtou, double Fang Qing's gift in return. Listen?" "tie!" "I'm busy. Ma'am is free every day. Fang Qing, don't be rigid, come back and walk around often." Fu Heng moved his feet and walked, and smiled at Fang Qing, "You said that if you don't come to the house for three years, you don't even kiss each other." !" "Yes..." Fang Qing bowed and agreed softly, and Fu Heng had already left. At this time, there were more and more visitors. There were tables everywhere under the mat shed, under the corridor, and in the front hall, and there were buzzing voices everywhere.There are three groups of drummers in the back hall, each group is more energetic than the other group, like a competition, the sound of horns and gongs is loud, mixed with the sound of firecrackers, group after group of commanding women, joking and laughing , the whole mansion was full of joy.Fang Qing confessed the gifts in the basket, said something to Xiao Wangtou, turned around, and saw Dun Min and Dun Cheng hugging their son, teasing and teasing each other, and still waiting for her, she felt embarrassed, and smiled and asked Passed the son, teasingly said: "Da Qing, call 'Uncle Hello'!" "Hello, Uncle!" Daqing was only two years old, wrapped in a felt bag, with "a piece of green" on his forehead, and two black bean eyes flashing like a tiger, and called again: "Hello, Uncle!" Dun Cheng was happy, and laughed loudly. Fang Qing said: "Our master is busy with life, painting for others, and there is no one to take care of him at home. I won't stay here anymore. There are many guests in the house, and there may not be any time when I see my wife." Konger speaks. Thank you two masters, you just go in and have a wedding wine - my family lives in Laohuaishutun, Xishan, if you are free, just come!" Then, Xiao Wangtou came over, holding a piece of red silk in his hand, and The scroll was made of indigo fine cloth, with five taels of silver cakes placed on it, and he smiled and said to Fang Qing: "Miss Fang, this is a gift from my wife in return. This ruler is also two feet long, and this cloth is all from the tribute. The silver The wife ordered you to double it, look at the fineness, 99 to 80% Taizhou grain silver! ——Don’t make trouble with their villains because of the idea just now, it’s what our master said, you often come and walk, you have everything. "Fang Qing picked it up with a forced smile, and said, "Thank you, Mrs. and Mrs., for me. When the mansion is free for a while, my master and I will come to thank you." Xiao Wang went away with a smile. Seeing that Fang Qing turned to leave, Dun Min hurriedly said: "Madam, since you don't dislike our brother, why bother to visit in the future? It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Today we want to see Mr. Cao—what's so rare about his banquet?" ? The pack sedan chair we came in, please take you and the young master back, we two will ride with you on horseback, visiting friends in the snow is also a great pleasure!" "That's good!" Fang Qing thought for a while, and readily agreed, "All the friends our master makes are like this! With a pack sedan chair, this little trick won't tire me too much." After a while, Duncheng had borrowed two horses from the East Courtyard, and the two brothers put Fang Qing on the palanquin and headed towards the West Mountain.
