Chapter 19
Chapter 19
Yin Qi is doing well.In order to avoid losing his neutral position, Yin Qi is not close to any of his brothers.
It's just that life is boring, and there are really no entertainment activities in the palace.Even New Year's Day is not interesting, and Yin Qi doesn't like to go to the theater either.
In Jia Cong's life, Yin Qi had already read many books in the Imperial Academy.The cultural level and social environment of this era are similar to those of Jia Cong.But think about it, the Dream of the Red Chamber was not written by the people of the Qing Dynasty.
As for the hobbies of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Yin Qi didn't want to show it, so as not to attract others' attention.
After thinking and thinking, Yin Qi found himself a job as a translator.I bought a variety of scientific and philosophical books in English and French on the exchange, and translated them slowly when I found time.
Although he also bought a printing machine and ink, there was no time for him to be alone in the palace, and there was no room for printing.Fortunately, there are scholars outside who make a living by copying books.
Yin Qi entrusted other people to copy the translated book on the transaction machine. Naturally, the hand copy was not as fast as the printing, but the book sold very slowly.Not many people are interested.But it can also be sold slowly one or two copies.
People of insight in this era are all serving as officials in the imperial examination, and the national policy of closing the door to the country has made the people of the country focus all their attention on the country.Promoting knowledge like this is naturally what Yinqi is happy to do.But there must also be people who are willing to accept new knowledge.
Fortunately, Yinqi himself thought this matter was very meaningful, so he persisted in this matter while enjoying his spare time in life.
However, it is not that there are things beyond Yinqi's expectation in the palace.
The imperial concubine Tong Jia often announced her niece into the palace, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen often entertained this little girl under the entrustment of the imperial concubine, and he seemed to like her quite a lot.Everyone in the palace guessed that the imperial concubine wanted to point out her niece to her adopted son as a concubine, so that the relationship between mother and child would be closer.Seeing that Kangxi didn't stop him, he guessed that he was acquiescing.
Yinqi vaguely remembered that the empress of Yongzheng did not seem to have the surname Tong Jia, and there was not even a prince whose surname was Tong Jia.
But once in a while, I saw this little Tong Jiashi, and sensed that there were artifact fragments on her body.Although she didn't know exactly what the fragments were and what their functions were, just like Zhou Yuanyuan could predict the future in dreams, she must have known something with the artifact fragments on her body.For example, Yinzhen is the next emperor.Only then did something different from what was recorded in history happen.
When Yinqi was ten years old, the imperial concubine Tong Jia was critically ill.Perhaps it was the imperial concubine who asked for it herself, and Kangxi finally issued a decree to marry the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the little Tong Jiashi.Of course, it is just a marriage, and it will take a few years to wait for the actual marriage.
At the same time, it also decreed that a girl from another branch of Tong Jia's family should be given to the prince as a side Fujin.
Everyone understands that Kangxi's love for Prince Yinreng is important, this is to prevent Tong Jia's whole-hearted support for Yinzhen, which is not good for the prince.Now referring to marriage in this way, once the in-laws are connected, Yinzhen can also get closer to the prince.
At the same time, Tong Jiashi, the imperial concubine who was supposed to be named queen before her death, lost this honor in this life and was buried under the name of imperial concubine.
Naturally, the title of Duke of Cheng'en granted by the Tong family because of the queen was gone.
The Tong family naturally didn't know this.From the present point of view, since one daughter was assigned to the prince and the other to the fourth elder brother, the future can be expected.Although Tong Jia lost a royal concubine, she is still satisfied.
The imperial concubine Tong Jia died, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen returned to the care of Concubine De.However, Concubine De has a beloved youngest son, Elder Fourteen, who is relatively indifferent to Yinzhen and doesn't take much care of her.
Tong Jiashi, the new imperial concubine in the palace, the younger sister of the deceased imperial concubine, is very cautious in dealing with others.It is not easy to face the fourth concubine who has raised a prince.Therefore, there is no extra care for the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who has been taken care of by Concubine De by Kangxi.
Unlike her elder sister, she often called her niece from her natal family into the palace.When asked by others, she only said that the girl's family has already engaged in marriage, so she should be more cautious and stay at home to get married.
Therefore, before Yinzhen was able to leave the palace alone, the unmarried couple, who were childhood sweethearts, never saw each other again.
Maybe it's because he lost his foster mother in the palace, and his biological mother was always cold and aloof. Yinzhen, who was originally lively, became much more serious and indifferent.Perhaps it was because no one was protecting him, and his temperament became more and more cautious.
Although there is no contact anymore, but no matter what, Yinzhen and Xiao Tong Jiashi are also childhood sweethearts, so it is more reliable than a blind marriage.
Although Concubine De didn't care much about Yinzhen's affairs, but when Yinzhen was old, she followed the example of her elder brother and pointed out two gege Li and Song to Yinzhen.
Concubine Yi also pointed out to Yinqi that there are two characters in one man and one Han, the Guerjia family and the Liu Jia family.
Perhaps it was because Kangxi valued his sons, or perhaps their respective mothers and concubines had told them that the elder brothers in the top ranks, except for the prince who could not enter the family due to the filial piety of the future princess, had sons first.The other elder brothers, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother, did not give birth to concubine sons before Di Fujin entered the door.
It's like Concubine Yi, although she pointed out two outstanding princesses to her son, she still told Yin Qi to be a good son.
According to historical records, Yinqi was the son of the eldest son of the concubine.But now Yinqi, in order to save trouble, and for the stability of the family, as long as the future Wufu Jin is not a poisonous woman who kills the concubine's children, then Yinqi will not shake her position as the head mother.
For this reason, it is of course best to have the eldest son first.
For several generations, Yinqi has been mediocre in matters of female sex and has no great interest.
The wife of the first life, Mrs. Lu, was shrewd and capable, and was a qualified housewife. After the two had a child, Jia Cong regarded her as one of his own, and had affection for her as a relative.Because there is no need to worry about children, I have never thought about taking concubines in my life.
Zhou Yuanyuan in the second life is the kind of woman Lu Cheng likes to admire.The relationship between husband and wife is harmonious, and of course there is no third party intervening.
In this life, Yin Qi had two concubines before marriage because of the rules of the Qing court.This is the world style, Yinqi has nothing unacceptable.
Of course, in order to save trouble, Yinqi himself did not intend to find another woman other than accepting the man bestowed by the elders in the palace, it would be too troublesome.
As for the family affairs, he has already made plans.Let Di Fujin give birth to the eldest son first.Then, except for Fujin, every woman bestowed by the palace will only have one child, regardless of gender.With children, women in this era have sustenance and will not make trouble.Then make a table and go to see the children who need father's love on time, and that's it.
As for what to love or not, the three views are different, so how can we communicate spiritually?Yin Qi doesn't think there are any women he admires in this era.
When the princes were in their teens, Emperor Ama Kangxi no longer restrained his sons, and allowed them to go out of the palace occasionally for a stroll with their guards and eunuchs.
I don't know what other elder brothers are doing when they leave the palace, but Yinqi is looking for all kinds of delicious snacks, restaurants, restaurants, and dim sum shops when he leaves the palace.Eat delicious food and see the local customs.
Later, I used private money to buy a hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing. When I was free, I went horse racing and hunting, and then took a bath, which was also a kind of enjoyment.
The Empress Dowager gave him a lot of money for his private house, and Concubine Yi often received subsidies, so it was no problem to set up some Zhuangzi shops.That is to say, after being able to leave the palace, it can be justified and done.
Considering that he will have many children in the future, he naturally needs to buy more property so that he can distribute it to his children in the future.Therefore, even if Zhuangzi's shop is profitable, Yinqi will not buy antiques of calligraphy and paintings that are worth thousands of dollars like others.Instead, save it with a miserly spirit, and then continue to buy farm shops.
In fact, there is a lot of silver in Yinqi's transaction device, but it is no problem for him to use it quietly. If he takes it out to buy property, others will wonder where Yinqi got so much silver.Things can't be done that way.
Therefore, Yinqi bought it on the basis of the existing money in this life. Even the Queen Mother laughed and said that Yinqi would live.
Yinqi's grandfather's family was in Shengjing, and he didn't care about the other members of the Guoluoluo clan in Beijing.There are many clans in Beijing, but Yinqi is not familiar with them, and it is impossible to deliberately make friends with the clan's children when he aspires to be a rich and idle person in his life.Therefore, he really doesn't have any relatives or friends in the capital.
Unlike big brother, you can go to Mingzhu's house when you leave the palace.
Even if the prince leaves the palace, he may also go to Suo'etu's house.
Although the fourth elder brother is not familiar with Wu Ya's family, he can go to Tong Jia's house.
Since he was free to leave the palace, the fourth elder brother and little Tong Jiashi got in touch again.Sometimes when Yinqi was wandering in the capital, he could meet Si Age and little Tong Jiashi walking together.It seems that the relationship is very good.
Yinqi doesn't envy him, but since Yinzhen's adoptive mother, the imperial concubine, passed away, no one else has cared for him except Emperor Ama Kangxi who occasionally wanted to take care of her son.It is Kangxi, the most beloved son is also the crown prince and the elder brother, the fourth elder brother can only go down the row.
Think about Yongzheng in history, who worked conscientiously for many years, and later became emperor, and died of exhaustion on the dragon chair after only 13 years.The birth mother is not caring, and there are not many sons left.Just a few days of happy days.Even so, he can be called a good emperor who cares about the people.It's a pity that he violated the interests of officials and did not leave a good reputation among literati. The evaluation in history books is not as good as his prodigal son.
Now that there is such a little Tong Jia who is wearing a magic weapon and standing on the same front with Yinzhen, Yinqi thinks it is very good.
When it came time for Yinqi to propose a marriage, the queen mother wanted to point out her beloved grandson to a Mongolian girl she liked, but Kangxi pointed out that Tara, the daughter of Yuanwailang Zhang Bao, was Yinqi's daughter-in-law.
This Yuan Wai Lang was the same Yuan Wai Lang that Jia Zheng had worked for, and his grade was Cong Wupin.Previously, my elder brothers referred to Fujin as his son, so there is no grandparent without a noble, and his father's official position is so low.
After the queen mother found out, although she was dissatisfied, she had a kind of political wisdom. She guessed that the emperor might be worried that Yinqi had Horqin's support and would fight with Prince Yinreng, or that Horqin would control the prince and have other plans.So I deliberately suppressed Yinqi.
She also knew that since the death of the empress dowager, all her glory now comes from the emperor's filial piety, and it is impossible for her to fight against the emperor.So also admitted.
Anyway, she and Yinqi's grandfather and grandson really didn't intend to compete with Prince Yinreng, but since the emperor has doubts, let's do as he wants.Yinqi also doesn't need a prominent Yue family to support the scene.
