Chapter 235 Mother and Child (5)
Afterwards, Yingluo walked with the queen mother in the garden for a long time, and first reported the good news that the noble concubine Ling was pregnant, saying that she was here to announce the good news, and the queen mother went out with joy.She also told interesting stories about traveling westward, and the queen mother asked her how to wait for the birth of the third official.It was the first time for her to come to Changchun Garden, and she saw that the buildings in the garden were simple, mostly small buildings with roll sheds and tile roofs, without painted.The height of the wall is less than ten feet, the green in the garden is low, the red flowers are brilliant, the soil and mounds are flat, there are no strange peaks and rocks, the podiums are elegant, and there is nothing to do with painting and carving.
This garden was originally the Tsinghua Garden built by Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing in the Ming Dynasty. It was called "Li Garden" at that time, and it was known as "the No. 1 garden of the capital".Li Wei is the father of Empress Dowager Li, the biological mother of Zhu Yijun, Emperor Wanli.At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, due to continuous military incidents, this famous garden was also abandoned.
In the 23rd year of Kangxi, after the emperor came back from the southern tour, he used the remaining water veins and rocks of Tsinghua Garden to build Changchun Garden on its former site in imitation of the Jiangnan landscape, as a detached palace for summer vacation in the suburbs.In order to listen to the government, he also rewarded the nearby gardens to his sons to live in.In the 48th year of Kangxi, on the north side of Changchun Garden, the "Louyue Kaiyun" was built for the late emperor who was still the fourth elder brother at that time, and the current Yuanmingyuan was born.
In Changchun Garden, there are a large number of ancient trees and vines left over from the Ming Dynasty, and flowers and trees such as wintersweet, clove, magnolia, peony, peach, apricot, grape, etc. are planted. Elk, white crane, peacock, bamboo chicken are scattered in the forest, and the scenery is quiet.Yingluo was very happy when she saw it, and thought: This garden pursues nature and elegance, no wonder my sister accompanied the Queen Mother to worship Buddha here every day, the Holy Lord cherished this garden and lived in this garden until his death, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are definitely not ordinary people , the idea of not carving or painting in Yuanmingyuan originated from here.Seeing that there is also a place called "Chunhui Hall" in the Changchun Garden, I immediately understood the plaque that the emperor gave to the Qian family that day, and I was more moved.
At lunch time, when the eunuch brought the food, there was a big table full, and the queen mother let out a slight "huh".Madam Liu looked over and saw a bowl of Roasted Pork, a bowl of Fried Fish and Shrimp, a bowl of Yuan Zhang Egg, a bowl of Roasted Beetroot, and a bowl of Stewed Chicken.One bowl of shark fin, one bowl of sea cucumber, one bowl of fire elbow, one bowl of fire duck, one bowl of crab, one bowl of fried vegetarian noodles, and one bowl of river swallow fish.The dishes are ham, salted duck, shrimp, salted egg, melon rice, flower rice, hazelnut, walnut, fried tendon, fried miscellaneous noodles, fried kidney, fried duck tongue, four side dishes, four snacks, two rice, two sides.Served in a set of large famille rose "Fu Shou Shuang Quan" bowls with branch patterns and small bowls with multicolored fruit butterflies crossing the wall.
This set of porcelain is very colorful and vivid. The pastel bowl is painted with red five-year-old peaches on the outer wall. The peaches are shiny and moist, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The "Guozhihua" on the inner wall is the flowering branches climbing along.This decoration technique is also known as "crossing the wall branch", which sounds like "Changzhi", which is a metaphor for political harmony and long-term peace.The small bowl of fruit butterfly has green leaves and red fruits, and small red and green butterflies dance lightly.This was originally a set of tableware given to the Empress Dowager by the late Emperor. Back then, every time the late Emperor came to eat in Concubine Xi's Palace, the Empress Dowager, that is, the Concubine Xi at that time, would use this set. It was exactly what I taught him to use today. Huanxi, said with a smile: Empress Dowager, Mrs. Nalan really knows how to do it.
The queen mother was even more surprised, looked at Yingluo, and said: "Why, you taught me to do this?"I do look different than usual.Yingluo pointed at the girl beside her with a smile, and said, "This is done by Yun'er."The Empress Dowager went to see the girl, and the girl knelt in front of the Empress Dowager to salute, saying: "The ancestor is in good health!"Greetings from Ibor!The queen mother was taken aback and said, "Why are you?" !
This girl is exactly what Ybor dresses up.She stood up with a smile, stood beside the queen mother, picked up the silver chopsticks, and gave the queen mother an egg. After eating, the queen mother immediately praised: delicious!tasty!Ybor smiled, and took another piece of duck tongue. The queen mother also praised it after tasting it, but asked: How can I fix it this morning?Ibor laughed and said: Thank you, ancestor, some of them were marinated and brought by me at home!It's rare that the ancestors like it!
The queen mother looked at Yingluo and said, "Why does this child cook by himself?"Yingluo laughed and said: She likes to cook, and Yongqi also likes her cooking, so she only cooks small stoves for Yongqi and her to eat, don't worry if you don't get tired!The queen mother nodded happily, and asked Ibor where she learned the craft.Ybor replied: I have liked to cook since I was a child, and the Huaiyang cook is used at home, because Ama likes it, and I have learned a lot.What I cook today is Huaiyang rice, can my ancestors get used to it?
The Queen Mother said: "It's delicious!"Well done!I like southern dishes!Then he said to Nanny Liu: This is similar to what Master He did!Grandma Liu said: Really?Minions try too.As he said that, he came up to taste a few things with chopsticks, and smiled at the Queen Mother: Sure enough!The New Year's Eve is over, Master He will be back soon!The queen mother smiled and said: It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back, now I have a grandson and daughter-in-law to do it!
Both Nanny Liu and Yingluo laughed, and Yingluo said: Queen Mother, when Yun'er has a child, ask her to come here to accompany you forever!The queen mother immediately took Ibor's hand and said: Oh, boy, hurry up!Why do you have a new name?Yi Boer said: "Thank you, ancestor, that name was given by elder brother."Yingluo said Yongqi's name, the queen mother understood, nodded with a smile, and said: "If you don't say it, I really think it's a girl's name."Then he said to Ibor: Son, I'm old, my eyes are dim, I didn't recognize you, don't blame me.Yong Qi is such a blessing!Yi Boer hurriedly knelt down and laughed: You are Zhesha Yun'er, the old ancestor is so old, Yun'er deliberately dressed like this, and went to the kitchen when he came, no one would recognize him!
It was only then that the queen mother remembered that when Yingluo was walking with her in the garden, there was no one around her, so she didn't care at that time, looking at this set of bowls, it turned out that Mammy Liu also hid it from herself, trying to make herself happy , just smile.So she was called to get up, and the three of them sat down to eat together, and taught Ibor to serve her food.After a meal, I just feel relieved!He even talked more, calling him a reward.
Yingluo and Ibol Xie En wentssiping together for a while, the queen mother asked Ibol various things, asking her to take good care of Yongqi, and when she has a child, she needs to control the house|things, etc., Ibol Thinking of the days since Yongqi moved back home, and the love affairs between himself and him, before Yousheng, he couldn't help feeling hot in his chest, blushing, and wanted to kneel again in a hurry.The queen mother took her hand and said with a smile: "I know you are a good boy, it must be Yongqi, it is inevitable for young children, you go and tell him, just say it was said by the ancestors."Yingluo also laughed beside her.
After the queen mother had a rest, the two left the garden and returned to the city.When they were leaving, Grandma Liu sent them all the way out, Yingluo asked the eunuch to take Yiboer first, and then comforted Grandma Liu, saying that she would not come and have a look today, the queen mother did not mention the emperor at all, and did not teach to bring the two princesses out. She didn't even mention Fu Heng's punishment, she just didn't want to mention the emperor, she knew it well, and asked Mother Liu to wait for the news of herself and Concubine Rong.Mother Liu sighed, and said: Mrs. Nalan, thank you!The queen mother is really happy today!The slave has not seen her so happy for a long time!Then he said what the queen mother said that she was about to die, and wiped her tears while talking.Yingluo comforted her a few more words to reassure her before she got on the sedan chair and left.
When Yingluo arrived at home, Haishi hurriedly asked, Yingluo praised Yibor greatly, and said that she had told the Queen Mother privately that this was Haishi's special love for her, and the Queen Mother thanked her.Haishi was very pleased, and said: "What kind of kindness is the queen mother to my mother and son?"Yingluo laughed and said, "You can't go to serve, it's the same as asking your daughter-in-law to go."Unexpectedly, Yong Qi actually hid such a good person!
Haishi said: If she hadn't come to Yujing Garden to cook lunch for me and Yongqi all day long, I wouldn't have known about it, Yongqi never told me.Yingluo laughed again: It must be that it is not easy to do well or publicize in the prince's mansion, so as not to make people jealous.We went out, it's cheap for you two!Hai Shi laughed and said: Don't talk nonsense, everything in his house is fine now.
Yingluo rolled her eyes and said, "Today the whole table is full, my eyes are blurred!"If this is the way of eating, Yujingyuan would be poor by now!Knowing that she was joking, Hai Shi also said with a smile: My mother and son only have four dishes and one soup every day, and six dishes and one soup when we meet, and they are all bought by Yun'er himself, so you will be poor!Yingluo said: Do you want her to buy vegetables?Haishi said: She likes to go to the market, and she can buy whatever she likes.She said that she had gone to some vegetable markets in the surrounding areas, and she liked the one near Prince Yu's Mansion the most. Yong Qi also felt that the food there was fresh.Yingluo nodded, thinking in her heart, and said: Sister, this Yun'er is really wonderful, but it's agreed, I will use her often!
Haishi said: "What use are you for now, except serving the Queen Mother!"She was originally chosen by you, Yong Qi is willing, and she also likes to follow you, but she is afraid...it will be inconvenient when the time comes.Yingluo knew what Hai Shi was thinking, and said: "The queen mother and her elders will speak quickly today, sister don't have to worry about it."Hayes nodded.Ybor kept the pickled vegetables in the Yujing Garden, and no one in the palace knew about it.After Yongqi moved back home, she missed her craftsmanship, so she would occasionally come to Yujing Garden to get two flavors to bring back to the palace, and the two of them closed the door to add food.
The Queen Mother woke up from a rest, and Mammy Liu combed her hair. Seeing that she was in a good mood, she said, "You said at that time that Brother Wu loved this little princess, but now you don't want to let go!"The queen mother nodded, looked in the mirror and said: "God is unfair, it's better to be alone."This child has a family background, is born well, is smart, capable and obedient, who wouldn't like it?
Listening to what she said, Nanny Liu felt that she was talking about the emperor, so she smiled and said: You still know how to judge people.The queen mother shook her head and said: "Nalashi... I really misunderstood it!"Nanny Liu didn't know what to say for a while, knowing that the emperor's mother and son became the current situation because of the emperor's life experience that the empress poked.Only to hear the Queen Mother say again: That's fine, lest I die and bring this secret underground.What should come will come after all!
Mother Liu didn't dare to answer these words, so she hurriedly said: This little Ge Ge must be a boy, the Queen Mother can rest assured.The Queen Mother laughed and said: Her mother-in-law gave birth to three sons before she got a daughter. I hope she is also a suitable man.Her family must be very precious to her, she married her husband, and her husband is happy again, so I say this child has a good life, much better than mine!Nanny Liu knew that she was actually saying that she had no biological son, that is, the emperor, and hurriedly said: It's not all good, after all, it's just a princess born in a coat.The queen mother shook her head and said: This title is for others to see after all.
Mother Liu felt more and more that the queen mother was talking about herself and the emperor, saying that she had the title and honor of the queen mother, so she didn't dare to answer any more, so she hurriedly asked the queen mother to bring two princesses in to make the old man happy. I still prefer Hu Gege, a woman who has no talent is a virtue, this kind and capable person always suffers in front of the Queen Mother, except for Concubine Rong, who is the Queen Mother's daughter.In fact, they don't know that Hu Jiajia is very good at calculation, has her own ideas in her heart, and is not cowardly. It's just that she is not as beautiful as Yibor and Hezhu, and has a gentle temperament, so she looks "clumsy".
After going back that day, Yingluo took out the picture scroll given by the Queen Mother. The sign said "Yuan Zhu Derun Xiuyexuan Picture Scroll". When she unfolded it, she saw that it was seven feet long and one foot wide, with Jiangnan mountains and rivers painted on it. In the Pingyuan scene, there are literati sitting in the study among the mountains and forests. The brushwork is rough and unrestrained, and the ink color is simple, which has the meaning of boundlessness.Boldly transformed the pen and ink depicting the northern landscape into a modeling language expressing the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and incorporated the elegant and light aesthetic interest of the literati.The study in the painting is "Xiuye Xuan".She liked the name very much, and when Fu Heng came back, she showed it to him again.
Fu Hengdao: Zhu Derun was a great master in the Yuan Dynasty. He was promoted to Confucianism by the Ministry of Education, and was highly praised by the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the master of painting Gao Kegong and the master of art Zhao Mengfu. He painted the study and activities of literati in beautiful mountains and beautiful waters. At that time, the new landscape painting themes directly affected the aesthetic orientation of Wu School landscape paintings in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.Yingluo smiled and said: A few red eggs are exchanged for a rare treasure!
And what Yiboer took home was Wen Zhengming's "Red Apricot Lake Stone Map" fan page, gold paper, ink brush, with apricot tree as the theme, and a clever layout. The solid texture of the stone brings out the femininity of the trees, adding to the beauty of rigidity and softness of the painting, revealing elegance in the smooth and skillful brush and ink.The fan page has its own title: "In March, the rain is dry, and the spring is very beautiful in Chang'an. Xiangchen belongs to the road, red clouds and warm, and I always wait for Xianlang to read it immediately. I will give you a small poem and a humble painting to make up for Han Xue. The twelfth month of Ding You is looking forward to the Ming Dynasty. "Qiao" Zhengming" Bai Wenyin.
Yingluo went back to Changchun | Pharmacy, and saw that Rong Rong took care of her, and because she was young, she changed the name of Rong to "Rong". I am happy, and I will praise Rong Rong.Doro had just found an opportunity to meet her.Luanyiwei Yamen is on Chang'an Street, facing Nanfu, not far from Changchun Pharmacy.Doro came from His Royal Highness Yangxin and changed clothes in the yamen. Rongrong was in front of the door, and she and Doro were talking behind closed doors in her study.Doro was full of things to say, but he only said: brother-in-law is fine, congratulations to sister for giving birth to another son.I heard what Hu Lin said about the west side, and I was quite shocked in Jinchuan.In private, he and Rongrong now call Fu Heng brother-in-law.
Not seeing each other for a long time, Ying Luo smiled and took the gift from him, looked at him, and remembered that Hu Lin called him 'little black skin', how can he be so dark, Hu Lin is exaggerating, and thinks he is cute, just said: This what is itWhy did you send me something again.As he spoke, he opened the box and saw a colorful saddle inside. He was very happy and immediately took it out to have a look.I saw various patterns and patterns carved with copper and silver, and inlaid with bone and shell carvings. The cushions, bridges, saddles, and saddle flowers of the saddle have all been carefully beautified, and there are small and broken pendants. A rough pride.
Duo Luo smiled and said: This is the saddle of Sunite Right Banner. Sunite Right Banner is located in the northern part of the Xilin Gol Grassland, north of Harqin Banner. It is rich in high-quality Mongolian horses, good at running, and the herdsmen raise horses and are also very rich , they adore and obsess over saddles, brother-in-law knows.Someone gave it to me, I think my sister will like it.
Yingluo said excitedly: "It's so beautiful!"I like it so much, thank you!It seems that you did not do anything in vain!Has the gift giver crossed the threshold?Putting down the saddle, he said again: Fu Heng is fine, and I'm fine, Bai taught you all to worry.Rongrong told me, are you good enough to be with the emperor?Duo Luo was silent for a while, and said: "The emperor is jealous of the prince, I was recommended to enter the palace with the prince."
The author has something to say:
[Sunite Right Banner] Historically, it was once a vast grassland where nomadic peoples in the north thrived.During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was the northern border of Shanggudai Commandery, Wuhuan and Xianbei lived in it in the Later Han Dynasty, Tuoba clan lived in Jin Dynasty, Turkic people lived in Sui and Tang Dynasties, Fuzhou in Liao Dynasty, metal Xijing Road.During the Yuan Dynasty, the provincial system was first established, returned to Xinghe Road, and established provincial divisions.After the Qing Dynasty unified Monan Mongolia, the flag system was officially established in the seventh year of Qing Chongde (1642), and became the right-wing Sunite Banner. "Sunite" is the name of the descendants of Genghis Khan, and later formed the name of the tribe.The Sunit Grassland spreads all over the whole area, and it is mainly based on animal husbandry.
