MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 157

Children, why are you still fighting?"

The prince corrected: "Let's learn from each other."

"Yes - let's learn from each other." The princess corrected her words and continued to teach her lesson, "Thanks to the emperor for not being angry, otherwise you and the elder brother, as elder brothers, would still have face in front of the younger brothers. ?"

"My eldest brother and I have been in a martial arts training field since childhood. Yinzhi and Yinzhen all know it."

"No, it hurts."

Prince Concubine still felt bad for the prince, so she made some damage, so she moved lightly and smeared the ointment on the prince's shoulders and calves.

Rong Xin took the eldest grandson of the emperor to play in the open space in front of Yuqing Palace. When he saw someone walking by from a distance, the eldest grandson of the emperor had good eyesight and immediately shouted: "Uncle!"

Thank you, thank you for taking care of Ilgen Giorro."

"I didn't do anything, Concubine Hui also sent someone over, Dafujin and Mu Mu to take care of it."

The big brother lowered his eyes, a little, and the corners of his mouth rose again, "Wan Qi has opened a little, his eyebrows are very similar to me."

appearance.

Because of her words, the big brother smiled even more on his face, and said casually: "It should be like me, otherwise it is like her mother..." After accepting it, he changed his words and said, "I already know the body of Irgen Joeluo, but she didn't cry to me as usual yesterday..."

Da Fukujin already knew that she had hurt her body in childbirth. The last time Rong Xin went out to see her, she was also uncharacteristically strong, which seemed even more abnormal.

Rong Xin sighed and said, "It's not that Dafujin is not sad that he could not give birth to a son for you. You should be more considerate and considerate of her, and don't be as puzzled as before."

"When did I get lost?"

Rong Xin's eyes are completely looking at a person's sophistry of virtue.

The elder brother choked and couldn't help but said violently: "Are you questioning my character?"

Before Rong Xin could answer, the eldest grandson tugged at the elder brother's sleeve, raised his head and glared at him, "Uncle is bad!"

The eldest brother lowered his head and glared at him fiercely. Seeing that the eldest grandson raised his chin even more to confront him, he sneered: "The son of the prince is really disgusting."

The eldest grandson immediately replied: "The prince's brother!"

The muscles at the corners of Rong Xin's mouth twitched, he is really a clever ghost, if he heard it, he would definitely want to throw him out...

These two people, one is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and the other is not too young who is noisy with a three-year-old baby, she really doesn't know who to call naive.

And the big brother listened to his counterattack that hurt the enemy by a thousand and lost eight hundred, and suddenly felt relieved, with a smile on his face, "You kid is better than your Ama. Minute."

This was different from what the eldest grandson thought. He suddenly didn't know how to deal with it, and turned his head to seek help from his mother.

Rong Xin touched his head and said to the elder brother, "Are you going to the Empress Dowager?"

"No, I'm looking for the prince."

Looking for the prince again? Rong Xin looked at him in surprise and asked, "Let's learn from each other again?"

The elder brother disdainfully said: "What do you want to learn from the defeated general? I have other things for him."

Rong Xin heard this and said with a smile: "Then let's go together, so that no one will inform you."

The eldest brother nodded in agreement and walked side by side with them to Yuqing Palace.

Prince Concubine had just applied medicine for the prince and was helping the prince change clothes. When he heard the arrival of the elder brother, the first reaction of the princess was that the elder brother fought with the prince again.

The prince vaguely guessed the reason why the eldest brother was here, shook his head at the crown princess, and said nothing, and then came to Dunben Hall.

The big brother was looking at the decorations in the Dunben hall, and when he saw the arrival of the prince, he immediately said: "Is sincerity ready?"

"Please come with me to the study."

The eldest brother didn't dislike the prince Moji at this time, and quickly got up and followed behind the prince.

The eldest grandson raised his foot and followed, Rong Xin grabbed his arm, shook his head and said, "Ama and uncle have a talk, we are inconvenient to disturb, go back to the backyard to see little Gege? "

"Fight?"

"No." Rong Xin took his hand and walked towards the backyard, "Ama and Uncle are both adults, they won't always fight... always learn from each other."

"Yesterday?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I miss it."

"Really?"

"Yes..."

In the study, there are only the prince and the elder brother.

The prince took out a sandalwood box from the cabinet behind the desk and handed it over to the elder brother, "This is my sincerity to the elder brother, and I have prepared it in advance."

number of roots.

After counting, the elder brother put his arms around the box, and said with dissatisfaction: "You are a prince, so you will send me this little silver tael?"

"That's ten thousand taels."

10,000 taels are enough for ordinary people to chew on for generations, which is a small amount.

The big brother said: "Ten thousand taels is not enough for me to spend a year."

The prince mocked lightly: "Big brother doesn't even have 10,000 taels, and he still needs to accept the filial piety of his servants."

"You haven't opened a mansion, so of course you don't know how much it will cost to feed the people of Manchu." The elder brother tapped the sandalwood box a few times with his fingers, "You also built an academy and a treasury. How can there be so much money to build an academy for you? So many officials in the Manchu Dynasty are rich in their own pockets, where is the oil and water for raiding their homes?”

"The academy is a long-term plan, how can you only look at temporary gains and losses?"

"One-time gain and loss..." The elder brother was full of disgust.

The prince turned a deaf ear and said to himself: "Even if I don't need it, the money from the treasury is taught to be borrowed."

Borrow money.

.

The prince's eyes were flat, "The Academy is used on the right path."

The eldest brother was angry, "These silverfish! The Lord is still poor! They are drinking wine and meat forests one by one, so happy!"

Is he angry with the corrupt officials, or is he angry with himself?

The prince shook his head helplessly, and said, "In short, this is all the money I can take out. Even if the eldest brother wants more, there is nothing I can do."

"What about the oil and water that I promised to raid the house? Isn't it a business for me to order Dai Zi to develop firearms? It's okay not to sell officials, but you can't use this money to send me!"

The words of the elder brother are no different from playing a rogue. The prince turned the folding fan and finally swallowed the idea of ​​going to sea trade, and proposed: "Then don't supply the new firearms developed to the Ministry of War for free, let the They pay for the production method.”

How the prince didn't understand the duplicity of the elder brother, as long as he didn't ask him for money, everything was easy to talk about, so he tried to persuade him.

When the elder brother left, he was holding a sandalwood box with silver in his arms, and he was thinking about how to sell firearms.

The prince sent him away in person, turned around and saw his aunt standing behind him with a clear face, and the corners of his mouth curved very calmly, "Why is my aunt here?"

"Have you appeased the big brother?" Rong Xin just saw the big brother's expression, how could he still be as angry as yesterday.

"For the time being, it can be appeased." The prince shook the fan, "But I'm sure I'll be short of money, and I'll still be in trouble."

"Looking at your appearance, you have quite a few troops to cover the water and the soil calmly, so you shouldn't be afraid."

The crown prince was tall and beautiful, and said warmly: "I'm going to invite my eldest brother, Yinzhi and Yinzhen to go to Renzhao Academy for a little turn in a few days. Will my aunt come with me?"

Rong Xin readily agreed.

In mid-July, Renzhao Academy was completed. The prince asked Kangxi to check and accept it, and Kangxi agreed.

The elder brothers who went to Renzhao Academy together, in addition to the eldest elder brother, the third elder elder brother and the fourth elder elder brother, also had five, six, seven eighty-four older elder brothers.

This year, the eighth brother Yinsi is also thirteen years old. In a few years, after getting married one after another, several brothers will all be working in the court.

The former site of Renzhao Academy is a former palace, halfway up the mountain, covering a very wide area, from far to near, from bottom to top, it is very spectacular.

The plaque at the main entrance of the academy at the foot of the mountain is Kangxi's royal pen, which is like a rainbow, and everyone just stepped up.

The head of the academy, Tang Bin, moved to the mountain before the academy was built. Whenever he found any areas that needed improvement in the academy, he immediately pointed out and took the trouble.

At this time, he led people to wait for the prince and others at the gate of the academy. As soon as they met, he bowed and saluted the princes.

The prince and the others greeted Tang Bin, and when Rong Xin saw Rong Sheng standing behind a few people, he gave him a slight gesture, and when everyone entered later, the siblings separated from the prince and the others .

"How are you doing in the academy lately?"

Rong Sheng said in high spirits: "There are no teachers or students in the academy yet, so I listen to the mountain chief's instructions every day and do some chores, and I feel that I have benefited a lot."

"That's it."

The two passed through the academy, left the academy, passed through several small courtyards, and came to the courtyard where the Rong family lived.

This place is hidden in the mountains and forests, the leaves are rustling in the breeze, at this time it is sparsely populated, slightly quiet and empty, but when the students enroll in the future, the residences of other gentlemen will also be full of people , presumably not.

The two of them saw Rong Da Ding's figure in the yard from a distance, and Rong Sheng said with satisfaction: "Because I borrowed my sister's light, and the mountain is looking after me, so I can live with my family and my children. By the yard of the gentlemen."

This position is indeed taken care of by Tang Bin, both children of the Rong family are studying, near the water tower, the gentlemen do not know if Rong Sheng is related to her, but they are looking at the mountain chief Teach one or two.

Rong Xin looked at Rong Da and Ding Shi who came out, and said softly, "The opportunity is hard-won, take it by yourself."

Rong Sheng nodded earnestly.

"Xin'er!"

Rong Xin heard the greetings from the two of them, bowed slightly, and said with a calm face: "Father, mother, are you all right now?"

"Good! Good..."

Rong Da and Ding both looked at Rong Xin excitedly, but they were less than two steps away, but they hesitated, and when they dared not get closer, they longed for Rong Xin to walk towards them with their eyes.

At a very young age, they no longer have physical contact, and the estrangement and estrangement have long been irreversible.

Rong Xin was very calm about this, but Rong Da and Ding, who were getting older, began to feel remorse after a long and comfortable life, and longed for the affection of Rong Xin as a daughter.

Rong Xin did help Rong Sheng, but it was because of Rong Sheng, not the so-called brother-in-law relationship.

Of course she never blamed Rong Da and Ding.

Therefore, Rong Xin asked Rong Sheng to help her father and mother go home with a smile on her face, but she walked by the two of them in a slow and unhurried manner, speaking as kindly and politely as she had been over the years.

Ye rubbed her hands and walked out, smiling cautiously, "Sister."

Rong Xin nodded slightly, looked around in the courtyard, and asked, "Are Rong Yu and Rong Jing not?"

Rong Sheng first asked Ye Shi to bring tea to his sister, and then replied: "The two of them are still studying in private schools and still living at home, and they did not come to Renzhao Mountain with us."

At this time, Ding was quite dissatisfied and said: "I told your father to stay in the city, and then move over when Yu'er and Jing'er can go to the academy in the future, but Sheng'er does not Willing to say, the two of them are not too young, they can take care of themselves, they can study well, and they will have great prospects in the future, how can they do those chores?"

"Mother, the mountain chief said that in the future, regardless of one's background, Renzhao Academy should not bring anyone to serve. Our family, Rong Yu and Rong Jing, are inferior to many students, so why should we raise them? A son who can't pick up his shoulders and hands?"

"Why is it inferior?" Ding said in disbelief, "Their aunt is a third-rank female official! The proud person in front of the prince! Why is it inferior?"

The curvature of the corners of Rong Xin's mouth did not change, and she did not say a word.

Rong Sheng glanced at her sister quickly and stopped: "Mother, how many times have I told you, don't mention it at this time, and then teach someone who has a heart to hear it and cause trouble to my sister!"

Rong Da also tugged at Mrs Ding, "You keep your mouth shut in the future, listen to your son, just care for your retirement comfortably, and don't worry about your grandchildren!"

Ding glanced at his son and responded unwillingly.

Rong Xin chuckled, his son is really different, Ding, who used to be stubborn and mean, will one day be so obedient...

"Sister, have some tea."

Ye's hands served Rong Xin tea, Rong Xin took it, glanced at Ye's slightly rough hands that looked like they had been smeared with hand oil, and asked casually, "Why didn't you buy two people? Help with work?"

Ding immediately said: "Who do you buy? How about a noble lady? It would be great to have that money saved for Yuer Jinger to study and marry a wife!"

Rong Sheng frowned slightly, "Mother—"

"You just protect your daughter-in-law!" Ding was angry and turned around to enter the room, but stopped when she saw Rong Xin, and said aggrieved, "Look at your brother, When you have a daughter-in-law, forget your mother!"

Rong Xin glanced at Ye Shi's clenched hand, and sure enough, he came and went in a hurry last time, and he didn't even see that the Rong family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also in conflict.

And Ding also said to Rong Xin in dissatisfaction: "When Sheng'er insisted on marrying her, I didn't agree, and just gave birth to two good grandsons for me over the years, and those things also It's over, but she's a woman, what's up with her fancy dress? She really has no virtue!"

Women…

Rong Xin gently put down the cup and asked, "Mother, dare to ask Ye Shi is a sloppy flower?"

Ye Shi suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, and shook his head violently, "No! I don't!"

Rong Sheng also hurriedly said: "Sister misunderstood, all the clothes on Ye Shi's body were bought by his younger brother, and she definitely did not do anything chaste."

Ding was just complaining casually, she didn't expect Rong Xin to ask such a serious question, and immediately changed her words: "In case of bad reputation, the Rong family can't tolerate her, nothing. "

"Even so..." Rong Xin looked at Ye Shi's hand again, and said to Rong Sheng, "It's time to hire someone, you can afford to support a family, why teach your wife to serve the whole family alone? It's not easy to do all the food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Rong Sheng ignored her mother's open mouth and responded quickly, "Sister is right, I'll buy someone when I'm free."

Rong Xin, regardless of how grateful his sister-in-law Ye was, looked at Ding and asked softly, "Does mother like pearl hairpins?"

"What do I like to do with bells and whistles at my age?"

Rong Xin did not listen to her answer and continued: "Recently, some new styles of jewelry are popular in Beijing. When I look back, I will choose a few beautiful hairpins and give them to my mother?"

Ding choked, unable to say anything to refuse.

No matter why she doesn't refuse, how can women not like these things? Just like many men are always greedy for fresh food, human nature is like this, and it depends on self-control.

But what about beauty? How can a married woman love beauty?

Rong Xin reached out and picked up the cup, the wall of the cup was still warm, so she refused Ye Shi's move to change the tea, and said lightly: "In the future, Rong Sheng will work in the academy, and the two children will also take the imperial examinations. To make friends with people, to dress appropriately is etiquette, and you need to be patient and study before you can know the way."

Rong Sheng was thoughtful, but Rong Da echoed: "Xin'er has seen the world in the palace, and she is right."

Mr. Ding nodded again and again and asked, "Then how many good clothes should I buy?"

"No, that's fine. Too much."

Powerful and powerful people dress simply and plainly, and those who have no money and no power dress simply, in the eyes of some snobs, they are poor.

Rong Xin never needs to rely on clothes to support her posture in the palace, but she will pay a little attention to her appearance when she leaves the palace, because there are a lot of snobbish people, and they watch the dishes.

So Rong Xin added another sentence: "In the future, the situation will really change, and then the situation will change slightly."

Rong Sheng listened most seriously, and Rong Xin was not here to teach them today, so he guided a few people to change the subject, and when the sun was overhead, he said goodbye.

When they returned to the academy, Rong Sheng was still with Rong Xin, but the two of them turned the path and saw the third elder brother leading the personal guard and the little **** to meet him.

Rong Xin asked, "Why did you come here alone?"

"Yinzhi wanted to walk around the academy alone, so he asked the second elder brother for instructions." The third elder brother followed Rong Xin and suddenly said, "I also want to study in the academy."

Rong Xin was surprised.
