Meishan Villa is located in Xiaotangshan Village, Changping County, in the northern suburbs of Beijing. Other book friends can read normally:.
When Jin Xi first heard the words Xiaotangshan, he thought of the famous hot spring town that would be famous internationally in later generations.
But looking at this sparsely populated and underdeveloped village in front of me, I felt a little confused. Is this "Xiaotangshan" really that "Xiaotangshan"?
But she clearly remembered that there was an imperial palace in Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Town!
"Amma, does the emperor have a palace in Xiaotangshan?" Jinxi pretended to be interested and leaned out of the carriage window and asked Fei Yanggu, who was leisurely riding a horse and walking beside the carriage she and Minrong were riding in.
"Palace? Where did you hear that? Your Majesty, I only heard that the previous dynasty had built a forbidden garden here. However, after the late emperor ascended the throne, the forbidden garden was sealed off." Feiyanggu tried his best to mount his mount.
As I approached the carriage, I chatted with my daughter in a very good mood.
"Oh, my daughter has forgotten where she heard it from. Maybe she confused the forbidden garden and the palace of the previous dynasty when she heard it." Jinxi shyly tugged on the hair ties hanging on both sides of Bao Bao's head.
She stuck out her tongue playfully. This was the result of her history always wandering on the edge of passing.
"However, your idea is a good one. Later, I suggested that the emperor build a palace here and take a short vacation occasionally. The mountains in spring and autumn are still very interesting!"
Fei Yanggu didn't pay attention to his daughter's little actions. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his daughter's casual suggestion was quite good. Book fans also like to read: If the emperor really built a palace here and came here for outings from time to time, then he
Isn’t it like living next to the emperor? Haha!
Jinxi couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she heard Fei Yanggu talking to himself.
No way! Did Kangxi build the palace in Xiaotangshan at the suggestion of his cheap father?
In other words, Kangxi listened to the suggestion of the cheap father and built the palace in Xiaotangshan? From then on, the hot springs in Xiaotangshan popped up one after another. The remote Xiaotangshan also attracted the attention of the world and became a symbol of future generations.
The famous hot spring town?
Thinking of this, Jinxi couldn't help but feel excited. The hot springs in Xiaotangshan were so famous in later generations. Now they are just a natural town that has not been deeply developed. Tsk tsk... It's a pity that I have it in my hands.
If I don’t have money, how great would it be if I could buy a few pieces of land here before Kangxi built the palace? In the future, any piece of land that I put up for auction would be a gratifying and sky-high price!
"Amma, is this the only place in our house that's special?" Jinxi held her chin on the window edge of the carriage, looking up at Fei Yanggu on the horse. Minrong, who was listening to the chatter between his father and daughter, was offended.
It was funny for a while.
"Isn't a separate courtyard enough?" Hearing this, Fei Yanggu couldn't help but stretched out his hand and tapped Jinxi's little head, "You know, this place was rewarded by the emperor. We have built enough
Two years have consumed almost half of your life savings."
"Ugh! Does it hurt?" Jinxi grinned and rubbed her head, causing Fei Yanggu to laugh and glance at him sadly, "If Ama still has savings in her hand, why not buy some land?"
What, what if? Xi'er means what if, the emperor really builds a palace here, then wouldn't our family be the emperor's biggest neighbors?!" Jin Xi proposed with shining black eyes, as if she was yearning for it.
I hate that I don’t have any money. The saying that you will regret having less money when you have used it is absolutely true.
"You girl!" Fei Yanggu pretended to hit her on the head again. But Jinxi scoffed and retracted into the carriage, "Stop coming, Ama, my daughter will be in pain. Maybe it will happen again." Knocked stupid!"
"Haha! Don't worry, no matter how stupid you are, you are still Amma's daughter!" Feiyanggu laughed heartily again.
The aunts and concubines in the carriage behind felt jealous for a while.
"I didn't expect that the master would be so happy." Xia Youzhen squeezed Qi Lang tightly in her arms and squeezed out a few words sourly. The master in her impression was serious and depressed most of the time, and rarely if he was in a bad mood. When he was good, he only smiled slightly, but I had never seen him laugh like this.
"Hmph, you know how to flatter Shuliang at such a young age, but Shuliang may not be able to go anywhere when she is older!" Shen Liqiu sneered, believing that Jinxi's behavior was just trying to please the master.
"I think Gege has a good temperament. She is lively when she should be lively, and quiet when she should be quiet." Shui Yingying squinted her eyes and closed her eyes to rest. She couldn't stand the sarcasm in Shen Liqiu's words, so she couldn't help but interjected. .
"Yes, it is indeed much better than a hen that can't lay eggs." Shen Liqiu was not to be outdone.
"It's better not to have children than to cause trouble for the master everywhere!" Shui Yingying still closed her eyes, and her words calmly touched Shen Liqiu's heart.
"Shui Yingying! Who are you?! How dare you talk to me like this! In terms of seniority, I entered the government a year earlier than you, so I am still your sister. In terms of family background, although my Shen family is not a high-ranking person, But we are from a well-to-do and wealthy family, so why are you, a wild orphan with no father or mother, sarcastic and sarcastic about me?" Shen Liqiu was so aroused by Shui Yingying's faint sarcastic words that she looked completely ungraceful on the spot. A shrew, she put her hands on her hips and cursed.
"Aunt Qiu... the child is still young..." Seeing this, Xia Youzhen was first afraid of startling Qi Lang, who was sleeping in her arms after being bumped by the carriage. She hurriedly covered her son's ears, and then spoke out to stop Shen Liqiu, fearing that she would He also shocked his daughter Jinrou. However, Shui Yingying next to her tugged her sleeve, "Don't pay attention to her. The more you pay attention to her, the more she will feel justified."
"Shui Yingying! Stop pretending to be such a noble expression of a saint. If you have the ability, just lay an egg and show it to me!" Shen Liqiu pointed at Shui Yingying angrily and continued to yell. She knew, Not being able to have children was a thorn in Shui Yingying's heart, and she refused to let go of it.
Shui Yingying was extremely angry, but she also knew that shouting at each other with Shen Liqiu would not bring any good results, so she simply closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and ignored Shen Liqiu's provocative remarks.
"What's the noise!" Feiyanggu's angry voice came from the window. The three aunts were all startled. They opened their eyes and saw that Feiyanggu had opened the curtains of their carriage and stared at the three of them coldly. , "It's so unbecoming to make so much noise along the way!"
Although the words were addressed to the three of them, Fei Yanggu glared at Shen Liqiu with his angry eyes. Very good! She pretended to be so soft and weak on the surface, and begged him again and again to let her come to another hospital. Look. For the sake of his younger daughter, he agreed. Unexpectedly, things would happen again before we even arrived at the other house.
"Don't think that I didn't hear what I just said, huh! Where do you and Yingying come from? You gave me a daughter, but if you don't teach me well, it will be worse than not having a daughter at all! What if next time? If I find out that anyone is relying on his seniority or the power of his mother's family, I will not be merciful!" Fei Yanggu said coldly and drove his horse back to the carriage where Min Rong was.
Because Minrong was pregnant, the speed of the car was much slower than usual. The distance between the two carriages was very close, so both Minrong and Jinxi clearly heard Fei Yanggu's decisive cold words, even if they didn't know What happened in the carriage behind him? He also guessed that Aunt Qiu must have angered him again.
Jinxi felt powerless in her heart. You said that women in the Qing Dynasty had no status, but they were quite powerful when they quarreled. It is said that when Shen Liqiu quarreled with his concubine to show off his family wealth, Bu Outside the village, there were enough spectators from three floors inside and three floors outside, which showed how grand the aura was.
"Your Aunt Qiu is really unintelligent. You know that the master is nearby, but you still dare to make such a loud noise. It's just embarrassing for yourself. Aren't you afraid that Jinrou will be affected by her as well?" Minrong caressed her lower abdomen and leaned against the wall of the carriage. Go up and sigh lowly.
"Eniang, what kind of person is Aunt Shui?" Although Jinxi had only met her father's useless concubine a few times, she had an inexplicable liking for her.
Xia Youzhen was kind to her because she saved Qi Yun's life. And if the small building usually got something delicious and fun, she would not forget to stuff some for Qi Yun.
But Shui Yingying is different. Other book friends generally read: Although she has no children, she never deliberately pleases Minrong. Although she has a lot of courtesy, she doesn't need any unnecessary flattery.
Jinxi lived a low-key life in a corner of the mansion. Apart from going to Liutang Court every day to greet her, or attending the obligatory New Year's Eve family banquet, Jinxi almost never saw her in other places.
For a long time, Jin Xi wondered whether Shui Yingying was a time traveler like her. Otherwise, which Qing Dynasty woman could do what she did? It didn't matter whether she had children or not, and it didn't matter whether she was favored or not.
"The Shui family... entered the house in the late spring of the 23rd year. E Niang didn't have much contact with her. She only knew that she was from Jiangnan. She was presented to the emperor by the governor of Jiangnan. The emperor also gave it to your Ama. As for her natal family, she He Yingsheng, E Niang doesn't know. Just listening to what Shen always talks about, it seems that she has no parents at home." After Minrong said this, she glanced at Jinxi with a smile, "What? I'm studying you. Are those aunts here?"
"What's there to study? I just think that Aunt Shui has a much better temper than Aunt Qiu. I don't know why Amma doted on Aunt Qiu before?" Jinxi blinked her black eyes and looked at Minrong with a smile.
Now, how could she not know that the reason why Fei Yanggu only doted on Shen Liqiu was just to stimulate Minrong. Who knew that the more stimulated he would be, the more he would push her away. By the time he realized it, the two of them had already become friends. For a long time. Alas, this is one of the methods that any domineering man will use.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Minrong immediately blushed, pinched Jinxi's soft and tender cheeks, and spat in feigned anger: "You little girl, how dare you make fun of me!"
"Hehe... Mother, please take it easy and be careful about the baby in your belly. If your brother is naughty in the future, it won't be Xi'er's fault."
"Okay! How dare you secretly scold Eniang for being naughty!" Minrong tried to scratch Jinxi's armpit, but was stopped by Fei Yanggu's clear cough. "My daughter is right. If you don't take it easy, be careful!"
Minrong was immediately stunned, while Jinxi couldn't stop laughing. It turned out that her cheap father had been eavesdropping on their mother and daughter's chat! It was really boring! (To be continued)
