Mrs. Geng curled her mouth and hummed: "Is it possible that the scheming, unconscious Hu Meizi, taught the young and old men?"
"It is common sense for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The girls are about to beg their daughter-in-law's age, so I can't think about it." Madam Zhong smiled half-truth.
It is said that General Zhong and Comrade Lao Geng are brothers and sisters, and they are very loyal. After they were married, Zhong Dayou did not look down on the delinquency of a good brother being eaten by his wife. Even Mrs. Zhong often stayed with Mrs. Geng. Two sentences in front of him.
"Okay, okay, you're here again!" Seeing that Mrs. Geng was about to lose her temper again, Mrs. Duan hurriedly came to make the rounds, "What kind of dishes the mother-in-law brings, but the man is not willing to eat this set. Each family has it. Everyone’s methods of living are less to say!"
There is a generation gap on this topic. The young daughter-in-law who has not given birth is not easy to interrupt. Ming Lan and Xiao Shen used tea bowls to cover their faces and ate tea in silence. Minglan pretended to be the master for a long time before remembering to be the master today. She can't just pretend to be stupid, so she cleared her throat and turned off the topic: "Why are you in the palace this time to thank you for so long?"
Last time, she went to give thanks in less than half an hour, and this also included intermissions and commercials.
There is a rule to give thanks. Except for the large-scale celebrations in the year, a large group of people can’t enter the palace on weekdays. This hinders the silence of the palace and comes in batches. As the newly released lady of the first grade, he has received extra During the Imperial Gift Festival, Minglan was able to enter the palace in the first batch, blissfully bathing in the emperor's grace, and by the way, she made a cameo appearance in a soap opera.
I should have called on the next day, but... well, it happened, a little, a little, an accident.
"What can be the reason! The person in Yining Palace has been unhappy these few days." Mrs. Geng said bluntly, "The maidens above are deadlocked. How dare we move and stop? It's half-hours."
Mrs. Zhong blew the tea gently: "Sister Geng, speak carefully."
"Shen, what are you careful? When you go out of the palace, your face stretches longer than that of the horse tied to the front of the car!" Mrs. Geng snorted coldly.
Ms. Zhong's face flushed, and Mrs. Duan coughed repeatedly.
Ming Lan almost sighed, turned her head and said to Xiao Shen, "What's going on. I haven't been out the past few days, and I don't know anything... Is it convenient to say?" The last sentence was deliberately softened.
The little Shen has been very heart-warmed recently. Hearing the words, he said boldly: "What's hard to say, the emperor has made an order early today, everything has been decided, and two thousand palace people will be placed in the palace."
"This is a good thing to benefit the country and the people." Ming Lanxin smiled, and the palace was half empty, which would save a lot of money.
Ms. Duan nodded gently and said mildly: "It is indeed a good thing. Those inferior palace ladies wait for their old age and have no place for life. It is okay to have family members who can run away, but most of them are still pitiful. The emperor is wise, and the queen dowager and the queen are also kind and generous. It is a blessing for people and a blessing for the country and society."
"But it's not just the lower palace people who played this replay." Madam Geng lowered her voice, her eyes brightened with excitement.
Ming Lan smiled and showed two cute little teeth: "That's natural. How can a low-level court lady make up two thousand. If this is the case, then no one will do the rough work in the palace. "The normal and reasonable way to lay off employees should be to lay off a little bit at all levels.
Mrs. Zhong couldn't help laughing, her smiley face named Minglan flashed, this kind of childish and cunning smile, she often saw it on the face of her five-year-old girl, and smiled: "Queen Empress Having said that, now that soldiers are used to repair the river, money is needed everywhere. Not only does the palace have fewer manpower, but also the masters of the palaces have to be reduced. From the emperor to the concubines, and the princes and princesses, only a certain number of palace ladies are left. The rest must be disbanded. Of course, the same is true of the Queen Mothers of the two houses."
"But... the eunuchs in the Yining Palace are not the most..." Ming Lan was a little confused and moved in her heart. As a veteran court magnate, the Queen Mother Sheng De had far more people than the newly released Queen Mother and Empress Sheng De.
"Who said it was not." Mrs. Geng's tone was full of gloat.
"The Queen Mother... agreed?" Ming Lan was uncertain and timid.
"I heard that the court has been arguing for a few days." Mrs. Duan said softly, "But now that the treasury is empty, while checking the money, the emperor is willing to cut the palace expenses by himself. Several people dare to speak up. Rebuttal. Besides, the number of queen mothers of the two palaces is the largest, more than the emperor."
Ming Lan's heart was open, unable to speak for a long time, and froze there. The emperor's trick was so cruel.
The waterside pavilion was quiet for a while before I heard Xiao Shen speak.
"The Yining Palace has been busy these few days. There are several beauties who are particularly in love with the master, crying and crying not to leave the palace, they are about to die." Her voice seemed to be flying out. "This morning, the House of Internal Affairs went to Yining Palace with imperial decree to lead people, oh, those two charming people in the head—" she happily prolonged her voice, "but didn't the queen mother say that day, "the age is here," It's not good to delay them'; this time I have fulfilled my wish."
The waterside pavilion was quiet again, and after a while, Minglan said quietly, "I don't know who they will marry?" Why is she always worrying about this problem today.
Mrs. Geng is extremely indignant at any woman who is aspiring to be a concubine, and immediately sneered: "What else can I have in my life, work, give birth to a baby, and exercise at home, which woman does not come here. Just be willing to do it well. Those who live, don’t get crooked, they can be safe and happy, and those who can marry a woman in the palace are not far behind. Otherwise, hum..."
This "hum" is very powerful, and it is about violating the prohibition of domestic violence in the "Marriage Law".
In other words, when the wife of a small soldier heads in northern Xinjiang, thousands of miles away, she can't get any results. If it is an ordinary woman who lives with peace of mind, it is a good thing. If it is an extraordinary woman who measures happiness by material and takes the power and authority as her own responsibility, it is hard to say. What's more... Ming Lan quickly glanced at Xiao Shen, and once they came out, the marriage of those specific women could not be helped by the palace.
Mrs. Duan laughed and talked about some short topics in the parents, and the atmosphere became mellow; after another talk, Ming Lan left them for lunch, and smiled: "Now I’m not going to come back. Good food on the table and game from the mountains. Let’s just have some wine."
The invitation was very sincere. Who knew they all declined.
"No, no." Madam Duan waved her hand again and again, laughing happily, "Knowing that your food is good, but I have to go back this afternoon." Madam Zhong smiled: "Exactly, I just entered the palace today. , The family is waiting to hear the news, I have to go back." Mrs. Geng also said: "Next time, when your garden is repaired, let's talk about a day and have some wine to gather together."
Ming Lan smiled, turned to look at Xiao Shen, and smirked: "What about you. You don't have a family to take care of, too!"
Who knows that Xiao Shen also shook his head and waved his hands, and sighed heavily, "I have to go to Ziyanzhai. My little niece is going to go to boudoir. I promised to accompany my sister-in-law to see the four treasures of the boudoir girl's study. I ordered a set of sapphire."
"Oh, what a lovely sister-in-law." Mrs. Duan joked, "The Zheng family is married to Xian's wife."
Little Shen's complexion turned red, embarrassed and said: "The eldest sister is like a mother."
The most depressive and speechless part of her is that her mother-in-law is weak and kind, and it is not difficult to serve, but she has one of the best ritual-obeying sisters in Beijing, reticent and solemn, old and long; all relatives and friends respect Madam Zheng, dignity and virtuous. , She came over with a stern look, Xiao Shen was more afraid than seeing the emperor.
Ming Lan personally sent the people out, and finally said goodbye to Xiao Shen with sympathy: "You know that I am the most tired and lazy, and don't like to go out. If you are bored, come and talk to me."
"Nonsense, you slacker, come back to you three times, two times you got up from the bed."
Little Shen's heart was touched. She came from a remote place. Whether she was used to accent or etiquette, it was difficult to integrate into the circle of noble ladies in Beijing for a while. She had to hold it in front of others. She was afraid of making jokes. Relax.
Ming Lan withdrew his sympathy in an instant: "Nonsense, it's just Xiang Fei collapse."
The little Shen didn't have time to reply, "Is there something wrong?", so Minglan pushed the carriage into the carriage.
Because of some irritation, after lunch, Ming Lan also felt that she was not too lazy, so she didn't take a nap tightly, and asked someone to call sister Rong over to check her homework. She posed excitedly, who knew that Sister Rong had been Ai Ai in her childhood, and she didn't know if she asked three questions.
Ask her about the words in the book, she can't answer it. The most outrageous thing is that she can't even answer the twenty-four filial piety. She stammered a few indiscriminately, and finally made up a third. Isn’t there a ‘tasting dung worry’, she made up a ‘tasting dung worry’; when there is a ‘buy the child and serve the mother’, she made up a ‘slaughter girl eats meat’.
Minglan almost fell. Without Sister Xian's supervision and encouragement, Sister Rong's homework quickly slipped again.
"...Perhaps there are such things." Sister Rong's expression was distressed, and she explained in a small voice, "It's just not spread."
Minglan looked at the little girl feebly, not drowsy at all. Well, I can't blame the children.
She discovered early that there was not much ink in Gong Hongwang’s belly. Not only was the teaching boring, but she also had limited knowledge and couldn’t withstand questions. That’s all, and sometimes she made a mistake. If she wanted to come, even if she had learned something in childhood, this There is not much left for a while. In this way, students not only lack respect for the teacher's character, but also do not admire the teacher's knowledge, teaching will naturally fail.
Actually, Minglan can do it herself. The full set of "Four Books for Women", "Nv Ze", and a lot of feudal poisonous weeds such as "The Biography of a Woman" and "The Fu of a Lie Girl" that a boudoir girl should learn; she also studied carefully; It has benefited a lot.
Teach a little girl, that's more than enough. However, she was unwilling.
The longer she gets along, the more Minglan realizes that Sister Rong is born like her father, wild and stubborn, full of vigorous interest in challenging established rules, and full of misconceptions. The day before yesterday, she told Sister Rong about the chapter'The Analects of Women's "His Highness Is Three Feet, You Are Not Getting Out of Bed", and the little girl immediately looked at herself with interest.
Minglan was embarrassed for a while, and it took a lot of effort to explain to her the importance of "learning and using"
In the previous life, Yao Yi always dealt with mostly short-sighted victims and deep-hearted defendants, and seriously lacked the experience of getting along with children. At this moment, she gave birth to her own children, and she didn’t know how to raise her. An illegitimate child?
My thoughts turned for a long time, entangled and entangled, coupled with the little information that I just heard, for the sake of my own brain hygiene and mental health, and for the complete growth of the children’s personality, Minglan decided to let professionals handle this problem.
"That's it." Minglan let out a long sigh, "You go to school."
Sister Rong's **** eyes blinked, simple and innocent, like a wild animal.
