In the blink of an eye, the new year is here. As soon as it enters the twelfth lunar month, Lin Yutong starts to be busy with festive matters. Not only the officials in the capital but also the local officials have to make people feel the emperor's grace.
Although Dong Xiaowan is familiar with the job, the situation this year is different from the previous year. Often the amount and weight of the reward represent the fourth master's satisfaction with the official. This is not something she can decide.
But Lin Yutong himself had a lot of uncertainties, so he could only ask Fourth Master.
After washing himself and lying down in the evening, Fourth Master discovered that he had one more task, which was to rate the officials. Each person's name was followed by five little stars. Just put a tick on which star you thought the number was.
Of course this is not impossible, but it just makes people feel awkward.
"This is our private evaluation and has nothing to do with the court." Lin Yutong said without any pressure and took it directly from his hand, "Lie down and close your eyes. I will read to you and listen..."
Then Lin Yutong said a name, and he said a number. The cooperation was very tacit.
There were so many officials, and there was no one he couldn't remember after being stunned. If this went on, he would be exhausted.
After reading for a while, she rested and reached out to massage him. "The muscles all over his body are so stiff. It's almost the annual vacation. I really need to rest for a few days."
I didn't wait for the fourth master to speak for a long time. I looked down and saw that he had fallen asleep again.
Even Lin Yutong was looking forward to the holiday. You can imagine what the minister who had been enslaved for a year was thinking. Several times when he went to deliver meals to the fourth master, he heard the officials at Hou Jianchu talking together.
It was after the holiday. The one said they would all come to my house at that time. I have good wine there. Let’s barbecue and drink until we get drunk. The other said it’s better to stay down. I don’t want to do anything else and just want to stay in bed for three days and three nights.
Immediately after, someone next to me deliberately teased this person, saying, "You are Xina's concubine and don't have time to accompany me. It will be three days and three nights, so you have to take it easy." This was followed by the sound of laughter.
The corner of Lin Yutong's mouth curled up. She didn't know if that adult had a new concubine. She knew that whether it was ancient times or modern times, the mood of looking forward to the holiday was exactly the same. Anyway, before the day was over, she started planning for the holiday.
thing.
When Lin Yutong turned around and saw the books that Fourth Master had placed at hand, she opened the folded pages and blinked, feeling from the bottom of her heart that Fourth Master was indeed a little unreasonable.
Why do you think so?
Lin Yutong held the "Han Code" in his hand, and the translation of a passage drawn by Fourth Master with a pen was: Officials should take a day off every five days. This means that government workers can take a day off every four days.
Another book is Sima Qian's Historical Records, among which is folded the Biographies of Millions of Kings, which also contains regulations on holidays, saying that officials should wash their hands and return home to visit their relatives every five days." Compared with the regulations in the Western Han Dynasty, at this time
The "Xiu Mu" not only allows you to take a bath and rest, but you can also go home to visit the children and reunite with the couple.
Putting these two books aside, Lin Yutong felt that Fourth Master would never set the holiday according to this. Work four days and rest one day, don't be too beautiful.
Sure enough, there were a few more books on the other side.
"In the third year of Yonghui, there will be no worries in the world, and all officials will be kept simple. Every ten-day holiday, they are allowed to ignore the affairs, so as to forgive all the officials and take a rest." Lin Yutong clicked his tongue. Yonghui is the reign name of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Here is a look at it
The history of the Tang Dynasty. From this time on, officials could only have one day off after working for ten days, that is, one day each in the early, middle and late ten days. These three days of rest were called "Huan", and from then on the holiday also had the title of "Huan".
Huan and Mu have the same meaning, they both mean washing. Anyway, it is quite vivid. It means taking a bath, changing clothes and cleaning yourself up.
For local officials, this day of course does not matter. For this type of officials, their family members live in the back office, and the front office is where they work. This is actually the same as at home. But for lower-level officials,
For example, staff and government officials, these people are not allowed to go home and live in the dormitory. They are allowed to go home once every ten days, which is just like the students who live on campus have to go home every week. It is really impossible to do less. Even the officials in the capital are far away from home.
They all work in the squad room.
There are 365 days in a year. According to this calculation, there are 36 statutory holidays in a year.
A little too little.
Looking further back, there is a book "Wenchang Miscellaneous Records", which is the history of the Song Dynasty. It records that in addition to the ten-day holiday, Yuan Day is also the Spring Festival, Cold Food, and Winter Solstice each have seven days of holiday; Tianqing Festival, Shangyuan Day
There are also holidays on Christmas Day, Tiansheng Festival, Summer Solstice, Beginning of Spring, Human Day, Zhonghe Festival, Qingming Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Mofu, etc. In this way, the number of statutory holidays in a year reaches seventy-four days, plus thirty-six days
Ten days off, a total of 110 days... This is closer to the statutory holidays in later generations.
Yuan Shi was left aside by the fourth master and did not read. This has no reference value. Lin Yutong remembered that the fourth master seemed to have said it a few days ago. At that time, she was looking after the children and did not take it seriously. Now when she read it, she found out
People only have 16 days of vacation throughout the year. This is a bit of a squeeze.
Although I don't agree with Yuan history, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were still influenced by the Yuan Dynasty to some extent. Government officials no longer had the loose vacation system of the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties. The "ten-day holiday" system was gradually reduced or even abolished, and the system was gradually reduced or even abolished throughout the year.
Only three holidays are reserved, namely the Spring Festival, the Winter Solstice and the emperor's birthday. Specifically, it is three days of monthly holiday, plus 18 days of holiday for New Year's Day, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Winter Solstice and other holidays, and there are only more than 50 days of holiday per year. The Qing Dynasty
The early vacation system basically followed that of the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, even the fourth master’s birthday is missed. I guess these people are not feeling sorry for birthday gifts, but regret missing another day of leave.
When the fourth master comes back, she will ask him about this, "Do you want to change the current resting and sleeping system?"
The fourth master took the book over and looked at it, "This needs to be discussed with the cabinet."
Lin Yutong complained: "...This system is too cruel to employ people."
The fourth master took the book and looked at her forehead, "It's not as simple as you think. If it's really like this, I don't need to read history books here." He counted with Lin Yutong with his fingers, "Don't forget that there are not many statutory holidays.
, but except for statutory holidays, the "temporary leave" system at this time is very loose and humane. Let me give you an example, what should I do if an official cannot return to the official office in time due to urgent matters? The rule is, "Those who are on urgent leave must
On the fifth day of the month, if there is an emergency, it is limited to sixty days in a year, and for those within a thousand miles, the disease will be postponed for twenty days.'"
That is to say, five emergency leaves are allowed in a month. The total number in a year cannot exceed sixty days. If the trip is delayed due to illness, an additional twenty days can be extended. The total is eighty days. That is, on average, more than one month can be taken.
Take six or seven days of leave. You can use these eighty days of leave separately or together. This is simply unimaginable in future generations. Whether it is a public institution or an enterprise, I have never heard of it.
Such.
Seeing her surprise, the Fourth Master added: "...and those whose parents live three thousand miles away are entitled to a 30-day provincial holiday every three years. This does not include the time spent on the way back and forth. If
Parents who live five hundred miles away are entitled to fifteen days of provincial leave every five years; when their children hold weddings, they have nine days of leave, excluding the journey. For other close relatives who hold weddings, they have five days, three days and one day of leave respectively;
When the mother dies, there is a compulsory leave of three years. If it is a military position, it is one hundred days..."
All these factors added together, the days of vacation are indeed quite long.
Lin Yutong feels that if this is the case, the holiday system really does not have to be changed. It is more humane! After all, whose family has nothing to do. It will be good for future generations, but for individuals, it is better to go to nine when nothing happens.
It’s okay to be late at five. If something happens at home, the parents are sick, the children need to be taken care of, so-and-so gets a wife from so-and-so’s family, and a daughter from so-and-so gets married. If you can’t get a leave, everything you say will be in vain. People keep drifting away from each other.
The further distance is related to these things. People are getting busier and busier, and they can't see each other once a year or say two words together. Although the phone is convenient for contact, it is still different after all.
Then the two of them muttered for half the night, wondering whether the matter had been put on hold for the time being.
Let’s talk about it next year.
After all, there are many things that are hard to change. For example, how can Fourth Master not be sure about the three-year mourning period after the death of parents? Except for special circumstances and special talents, this is really hard to change now.
The sixth year of Yongzheng's reign arrived while everyone was busy talking about it.
Last year during the Chinese New Year, Lin Yutong didn't show up. The baby was less than 100 days old and she was in confinement for three months. But this year it was hard not to show up again.
As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, I followed the fourth master back to the palace. Last year, the fourth master went back alone. When the sacrifices and sweepings were done, he went directly back to the garden without spending the night in the palace. It took a lot of back and forth.
Come on. The children are still young this time. If the fourth master doesn’t want to let the children toss around, he might as well just go back to the palace. It seems that these four little ones haven’t come back yet.
The annual banquet of the female family members is held in Changchun Palace.
First, they entertained the female relatives of the clan, then the nobles, and then the married women. One after another, one group was received every day. The procedures were all the same. First, they paid homage, then saluted, and then sat down to drink tea and talk together. It really didn’t matter.
Having said that, in order to prevent everyone from being embarrassed, we went to the theater together to listen to a play, have some snacks and tea, and occupy our mouths and ears. It couldn't be better. Finally, we no longer have to find flattery to say. I was tired of talking to the Queen.
Ah, not only do you have to look for words that are not the same, but you also have to be careful and think about whether these words violate a taboo.
So no one is short of dramas to watch, but everyone takes the dramas in the palace seriously.
Lin Yutong never learned to listen to opera in his whole life.
She was the one who said that she was good at playing the piano. In the past, she just paid it forward and just followed others. When people praised her, she pursed her lips and smiled, implicitly indicating that her singing was indeed good. When people rewarded her, she followed the reward, and no one could tell that she was interested.
I don’t know anything about drama. But now this trick doesn’t work. No one dares to applaud me if I think it’s good. I have to wait for myself to applaud first before others dare to do it.
But Lin Yutong got distracted as soon as he heard the play and forgot about it a long time ago. So when he entertained the family members of these officials and the royal wives, the atmosphere seemed a bit dull. In the past two days, the clan Fujin and Xungui family, then
It's a lot better. Many of them can talk to Lin Yutong. The sisters-in-law have endless things to say when they get together. When the family members of the honorable family are entertained, the Jueluo family and the Queen Mother's family are all sitting together.
They were talking and laughing, and they just sang on stage, which was just background music. It felt good for everyone to chat privately. But when these ministers and their families came, Lin Yutong could only say that he was really unfamiliar with them. So it became awkward.
Lin Yutong was really distracted, and then suddenly she heard someone sobbing. She woke up suddenly, what happened? What kind of drama was on the stage, it made people cry. It’s a good time for this New Year.
They are also very particular. Even if they were beaten to death, they would not dare to sing that kind of drama.
I woke up and went to the stage to take a look. I didn't know what the show was. Anyway, it was a clown. His actions were so funny that people couldn't help but curl up the corners of their mouths. Can this show make people cry?
She frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, and many ladies nearby followed Lin Yutong's gaze.
Who can't hear such a loud sound?
Passing several rows of people, sitting in the seat behind was a lady who looked like she was a fourth-grade lady. She couldn't see how old she was. It wasn't that Lin Yutong's eyesight was poor, it was actually the lady who had just started holding a handkerchief on her face.
Wiping away tears, Lin Yutong looked at her like this, stood up and knelt down immediately. She lowered her head and sobbed louder.
I didn't dare to sing any more on stage. They all knelt down and trembled. They didn't know how they had made the nobles unhappy today.
Lin Yutong knew that it was not easy for these people. One of the disadvantages of acting in the palace was to be decapitated. She waved her hand and called Dong Xiaowan, "Please give them a reward. Tell them to rest first... I see that there are many children coming. You and the class leader
He said, "You don't need to restrain your children, just eat and drink when they are thirsty or hungry."
Dong Xiaowan agreed and whispered to Lin Yutong: "That lady is Fang, the wife of Mr. Zhan Shilin, the young master of Zhan Shifu..."
Lin Yutong nodded understandingly and asked Dong Xiaowan to get busy. Then he ordered Zhang Qilin to invite Mrs. Fang over.
Mrs. Fang stood up and did not dare to speak. She kept her head down as she walked. She was also scared when she looked at her, and her feet were shaking. When she came over, she knelt down with a thud and said, "I have seen... I have seen... the Queen... I am guilty...
"
Lin Yutong asked someone to help her up and sat down, "Why are you crying? If you have any grievances, just say it properly..."
As soon as she said this, Fang's tears instantly fell down again, and she slid down from the chair just after she had settled down, "Queen, my concubine was wronged... My concubine's daughter died unjustly..."
There was a murder.
There are so many people here, looking at Mrs. Fang as if they are a fool. Even if you have such a big deal, you shouldn't make it out in front of the Queen at this time.
Mrs. Fang seemed to be greatly stimulated by her daughter's death, "...I just can't help it..."
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "It doesn't matter! Human life is as big as the sky, pitiful parents in the world, tell people with white hair to send people with black hair... Get up. Get up and talk."
"My daughter is nineteen this year. I received news a month ago that my daughter is dead..."
Just as she was talking, Lin Yutong interrupted her, "Whose family is your daughter's husband?" She is nineteen years old. According to the current world situation, she would have been married long ago. Also, this lady's wording is very strange. What does "receive" mean?
When I received the news, it was said that my daughter was dead. This daughter was dead and she should be mourned. It cannot be said that the two parents' families did not notify them. This is unreasonable. That's why I asked this question. According to the words of the right family, her daughter
Her husband's family is at least a fourth-rank official family. There is also a saying that a daughter of a high family marries a daughter, and now she says it is unjust, so it must mean that her in-laws' family is higher than hers.
The expression on Mrs. Fang's face was a little embarrassed for a moment, and her voice dropped obviously, "My daughter is not married..."
Not married?
If you are not married, then you should be at home. How can you say you have received the news?
She was speechless and just listened to what she said to see what the situation in her family was like.
"My little daughter entered the palace five years ago..." I didn't expect Fang to say such a sentence.
Entering the palace?
What's the meaning?
It sounds like her family is Han. The situation of Han women entering the harem is quite special. Except for the emperor and princes who were brought back for sight, there is basically no way to enter the palace privately. Han women are not selected in the draft, even if there are Han women.
It is also a Han military flag, and the surname is a certain Jia family. Dong Xiaowan is talking about Mr. Lin and the Fang family, which can only mean that they are from a Hanchen family. How did the daughter enter the palace?
Even when selecting palace maids, they are also selected from the wealthy family. Therefore, this matter is even more unreasonable.
When she asked this question, Fang's face showed a bit of embarrassment, "I can't explain what is going on. I just said that the palace wants to choose someone..."
That's not right! If the palace wants to choose someone, they will not and dare not go to Hanchen's house to choose someone. If her husband doesn't allow it, it won't happen. But it doesn't matter whether Mr. Lin is active or passive.
Whether it is active or passive, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has nothing to do with it.
Lin Yutong did not interrupt her and listened to her continue.
"...The little girl entered the palace, and later I heard that she was assigned to the elder brother's office, and she was serving the fourth elder brother...There has been very little news in the past two years. It was not until January that I received the news that the person was missing...
I feel heartbroken. This person is gone. Why is he missing? I have to find out clearly. So I went around to get the news. I heard from those who were responsible for moving the corpse... There is not a good piece of flesh on the body. I was stunned.
Beaten to death..."
This is a big problem. Don't worry about how the person came in. But if the person died, he was still beaten to death. If the punishment was not carried out privately through the Department of Punishment, even the queen did not have this right.
Lin Yutong looked towards the Fucha family who was standing aside. Several daughters-in-law were here today, helping Lin Yutong receive guests.
Mrs. Fucha's heart skipped a beat when she heard that she was serving her fourth elder brother. Now when the queen saw her again, her face turned pale and she knelt down in front of Lin Yutong with a thud, "Daughter-in-law... I don't know.
If your daughter-in-law is unfavorable in housekeeping, please ask the Queen to punish her."
Lin Yutong asked Mrs. Fucha to get up, but turned to Mrs. Fang and asked, "What's your daughter's name?"
"...My daughter's name is Fanghua..." Mrs. Fang glanced timidly at Mrs. Fucha and whispered.
Mrs. Fucha frowned, "Fujin has never heard of Fanghua's name, and there is no such person in the mansion's roster." After saying that, he paused, "And there are no maids with bound feet in the mansion..."
That's right! Girls from Manchu families don't have their feet bound. But it's rare to see girls from Han families who don't have their feet bound. Therefore, this feature is very obvious. If it were true, the Fucha family would not dare to ask for it.
Fang's expression became even more unnatural, "... my little girl lived with her parents-in-law in the countryside when she was young, and her feet were not bound..."
Lin Yutong's eyes looked at Mr. Fang with less pity. This Mr. Lin probably came from a poor family. He either failed to pass the exam more than ten years ago or his official position was not prominent. There is nothing wrong with leaving his children in his hometown.
It's just that later on, she became rich and rose to a high position, but if the daughter of this Han family did not have her feet bound, she would not get a good marriage. In this way, when his daughter entered the palace, it was impossible for the Fang family to know everything, and she probably didn't.
I want to enter the palace to fight for my future.
Mrs. Fucha observed her words and knew that the queen did not have a good impression of Mr. Fang, so she immediately asked: "Then does your daughter have any obvious characteristics..."
"There is a rouge mole between my little girl's eyebrows..." Mrs. Fang said hurriedly.
Mrs. Fucha knew who she was talking about, and she felt a little more angry. Now that the queen was in front of her, she didn't dare to show it at all. She only turned around and said, "There is a man named Honghua beside Mr. Gao."
The eldest palace maid, such as Mrs. Fang's daughter, Gao reported to her daughter-in-law a month ago that the palace maid died of illness and had been sent out of the mansion for burial..."
The other maids, the Fucha clan, may not know, but the Gao family, Fucha Gege, and the new concubine Uranala, the Fucha clan knows everything about the people around them.
The characteristics of the body and the time of death all match up. Those eight achievements are really true.
This involves Hongli's backyard, so it's not easy to open it up in front of so many people. Considering the face of Hongli and Fourth Master, we can't go any further.
The Yin Secretary in the backyard is indispensable here. It can be heard from Fang's words that their family does not have frequent contact with this daughter, and they don't know much about it. They don't even know what the child's name is in the palace.
. But unfortunately, I knew it as soon as my daughter died. I forgot about it and kept it secret, but at this time it was revealed in public.
why is that?
There is no telling how many shady transactions there are behind the scenes.
Lin Yutong could only stop the inquiry in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs being involved and must conduct a thorough investigation, and asked someone to send Mrs. Fang home properly.
The annual banquet ended in such an unpleasant atmosphere.
Lin Yutong told the fourth master, who frowned. It's not that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not been rectified in the past few years. Fu Nai is one of his own. In the past two years, he has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has rectified everything inside and outside. Now it is still
If something like this happens, it only means that it hasn't been cleaned up properly.
The Fourth Master called Fu Nai in to discuss the matter.
Lin Yutong, however, did not ask any more questions about the Lin family's daughter's case.
Dong Xiaowan hesitated to speak, "...Aren't you going to check further?"
No need.
Mr. Fucha will figure out what's going on here.
When Mrs. Fucha returned from the palace, she felt suffocated in her stomach. Something happened to Mrs. Gao, and someone immediately sent the news out, just for fear of causing trouble. No need to ask, these were all from the people in the backyard.
Mrs. Gao has always been arrogant. No matter whose house her father goes to, she always has a way to lure them away. There has been a turmoil in the backyard for a long time. She has always been too lazy to talk to her and doesn't dare to be presumptuous here. As for other things
, dog bites dog, no matter who wins, as long as she doesn’t suffer a loss.
But in your own house, no matter how noisy you are, it will be fine. If it is embarrassing outside, where can you put your face?
No one in the backyard liked Mr. Gao, but there were not many people who had the ability to do such a thing and could accomplish such a thing.
The Fuchagege family is far from that capable. The other concubines are even less helpful.
There is only one person with this ability, and that is the queen's niece, Uranala.
Originally, we should have brought him into the house at the end of last year. The date had been set and privately agreed with the Ulanala family, but Gao didn't know how he told Hongli, and the date was changed in the end.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that the queen does not want to see the Ulanala family. At the end of last year, I thought that Mrs. Jueluo should go back to the Ulanala family for the New Year. But the queen stopped her directly. I still don’t understand what this means.
I just want to teach my parents a lesson.
Later, when my grandfather wanted to change the date, he told himself the same reason. He said, let the Ulanala family dry and don't ruin the Queen's affairs.
She thought that it made sense, so she didn't go into details. Later she heard that it was Gao who in fact infested Xi Fujin with maggots in front of the gentlemen.
It’s no wonder that Mrs. Gao has been seeking medical advice and almost consuming all the medicines, hoping to give birth to a child. If a strong rival comes here, her hope will be even slimmer. So, she has such a reason for doing this
Now, no one said much.
It has taken a year, and the Ulanala family has searched several times, and it would not look good if they were left hanging. In addition, the queen asked her to prepare for a girls' school, and the emperor asked his father to formulate some examination regulations.
It was a matter of having a long face. She thought that the queen gave her face, and she had to support the queen. When the Ulanala family came to ask again, she did not pass the fourth elder brother, so she decided directly. Come back and follow
When Hongli said this, he said: "...it's her mother's family after all. She can bring shame to her mother's family, but others can't. Let's stop it." After speaking, he smiled and said, "Besides, that girl is known as Man Meng.
The number one beauty. The one who falls in love with you is better than my appearance..."
As expected, Hongli's eyes lit up, and within a few days he was brought into the house.
That girl is beautiful, not only beautiful, but also fresh.
On the wedding night, Hongli was tripped up by Mrs. Gao. He didn't go through the whole night, so he asked the bride to sit in the wedding room all night. It was only when they got married the next day that Hongli saw her face.
After that, he stayed with Ulanara for a whole month.
Later, it was the Gao family who seduced Hongli away again. The Fucha family was very tight on the backyard, so they naturally investigated the Gao family's methods. Chang Bu often asked people to secretly make some small pieces of cloth to wear... What kind of methods did the rich have?
Mr. Cha felt disgusted when he said it. Anyway, no matter what, he just seduced the person away. Mr. Gao and Mr. Uranala took it upon themselves.
But looking at it now, the structure of the Ulanara clan is not comparable to that of the Gao clan. The Gao clan only works hard on men, but Ulanara wants to directly destroy the Gao clan as soon as he takes action.
That Honghua was probably beaten to death by the angry Gao family during the month when Hongli did not go to the Gao family. This thing should not have been done secretly. Only after the Ulanala family knew about it
What happened now. Considering that Fang chose such an occasion to reveal this matter, on the basis that she did not truly love and care for her biological daughter, it is not difficult to judge that this mother must have an agenda. Who
Can it benefit her, or rather the Lin family?
It's impossible to do it without the background behind you.
The main function of Zhan Shi Mansion is to teach the prince. It was established for the East Palace. But now that there is no East Palace, young Zhan Shi really has no rights. It is said that he is a fourth-grade official, but in fact it is a sinecure. Obviously, the Lin family does not have much
background, otherwise they would not be placed in such a place in the Ministry of Personnel. Although officials of fourth rank and above are personally appointed by the emperor, the recommendation from the Ministry of Personnel also plays a vital role. Such a family with no background
, do you dare to do such a thing?
Don't dare!
Unless there is someone behind you to support you.
It has something to do with his family and his background. It’s not him, and it can’t be his father. Then there’s only the Ulanara clan.
Others don't know very well what the Uranala family is like, but to the Lin family, such a family is a noble person that they can't even imagine. The queen's natal family is also a favored queen. In their view, this family
Maybe it was an opportunity. So I took action.
There was no need to investigate this matter, and she didn't want to. Once the investigation led to the Marquis Chengen's Mansion, it would be so embarrassing to meet the Queen. She just had to understand it in her heart. But how should she say this to the outside world?
Just as he was thinking about his origin, Hongli came back, frowned and asked, "What's going on today?"
As soon as the incident in Changchun Palace came out, the news spread to the front. Huang Ama didn't say anything, which was considered to have given himself face. But he couldn't just come back without asking anything. On the New Year's Eve, in front of so many courtiers
, there was a fire in his backyard. Didn’t this person lose enough?
So the tone is not very good.
Mrs. Fucha rolled her eyes inwardly and was suffocating, but she still had to speak to him softly and angrily. This is the character of this person. If you are soft, he will be soft. If you are tough, he will be tougher than you. Because I feel so wronged to death.
But his face couldn't reveal anything, "...I'm having a hard time with this..." He looked like he didn't know what to do, but he finally waited until the backbone came back.
Hongli felt better, and his expression softened. He sat down and was served by Fucha. After undressing and cleansing his face, he took a sip of tea and then asked Fucha to continue, "After all, I am a woman, and I am too harsh on you."
."
Mrs. Fucha choked for a moment and thanked him for his sympathy. Then she said: "I told me not to argue with Mr. Gao before. I know it. I have remembered it. There are many things that cannot be said, and I can still bear this in my heart."
I have no clue. Since then, I have not cared much about Gao's affairs..." He said and gave Hongli a resentful look.
Hongli felt a little uncomfortable and knew what she meant. He sometimes promised Fujin that he would come over to rest, but when Gao disturbed him, he often broke the promise. Fujin had never been jealous of this. In his heart,
Just as she was thinking about how to appease Fujin, she heard her continue: "I am using the Gao family, how can I embarrass you for this? We are husband and wife, we don't have this level of trust yet?"
Hongli put down the tea cup and took Fucha's hand, looking very emotional.
Mrs. Fucha lowered her eyelids, feeling a little embarrassed, "...but this time...I'm afraid that the Gao family won't be able to survive if I don't want to leave..."
Since Uranala has set up a trap and gone so far, it would be unjustifiable if he didn't take advantage of the situation and push it. Only by completely suppressing the Gao family can the Gao family be truly abolished.
Hongli's expression changed, "It's really Gao..."
Mrs. Fucha nodded, "I think Honghua's daughter still has some impression of me, she has always been serving Mr. Gao. I heard from these slaves that Mr. Gao has been serving Mr. Gao since he was assigned to my elder brother's house... This girl is tall
Very pretty..."
Hong Li pursed his lips. After saying this, he felt a bit impressed. It seemed that when Gao was inconvenient, he asked the girl to wait on her twice. He didn't pay attention to what she was called... He didn't expect it to be so dead.
As soon as Mrs. Fucha saw Hongli's expression, she knew there was something going on here. She was too lazy to care about it, and just said: "I just dote on Mr. Gao, but I don't think about Mr. Gao's background. He is from an official family."
The young lady born here has been serving her as a slave and maid for so many years, and finally ended up like that... Those Han ministers may look down on that Lord Lin, but for you,
What will they think of you? They don’t know what is right and what is wrong, and the Manchu-Han conflict cannot be judged as right or wrong. They will only think about, in your heart, is it possible that a noble lady from the Hanchen family,
Only enough to serve as a maid for the girls of the Baoyi family? The scholars can be killed without humiliation! They will think that you look down on them and are humiliating them..."
Hongli's expression suddenly turned cold, and he stood up and walked around in circles in the room.
Mrs. Fucha stood up and said, "...The Gao family is important, but the Han minister's heart is even more important. I have to know which one is more important..."
Hongli lowered his head and said nothing, then looked back at her, "What else?"
what else?
"And..." Fucha gritted his teeth and said, "...there should be some handiwork from the Ulanara family..."
Hongli frowned, "Is the Ulanala clan restless?"
More than restlessness?
If you really want to talk about it, if such a princess is pointed out to other elder brothers in the clan, they are all the material of the direct descendants of Fujin. The Gao family is not on the same level as her.
Besides, which woman in the backyard is safe? Is there any way to survive if she is safe?
Mrs. Fucha was silent for a while and said: "Young people are bound to be energetic..."
young?
This is a bit funny.
Hongli shook his head, "They say she has a bit of the character of an empress, but I think it's hard to paint the skin..."
Mrs. Fucha doesn't want to comment on this. Compared with the Queen, how is she qualified?
Unexpectedly, Hongli narrowed his eyes and continued: "...I am afraid that attacking Gao like this is also directed at Gao Bin. I just don't know if she acted on her own? Or was she instructed by someone?"
This made Mr. Fucha confused. What did he mean by someone's instructions? Who did he suspect?
