Chapter 93

Kangxi thought for a while and asserted: "Elinzhu, I won't lie to you, since before you entered the palace, many of the heirs in the palace died young, but since you entered the palace alone, two or three children have died in the past ten years. "

"You are a person of merit." Kangxi raised her chin, looked into her eyes, and said, "It is said that unlucky people are not born into a virtuous family, so it is right to treat this child as unlucky."

Umalu knew that he was comforting himself, so he cheered up: "The master has good intentions, but the slave is stupid, and wants to pray for the child's death."

"You just say it." Kangxi secretly made up his mind, no matter what jewelry, jade, silk and satin she wanted, he would give her all, not only to her, but also to give more.

Umalu thought for a while and said: "I see that the people in the palace are often older and cannot leave. I want to ask for a favor for them."

"I don't care about those who have names and surnames and positions." Umaru paused and said, "It's just that some maids entered the palace against their own will. Those who are in the palace will let them go out of the palace. Those who don't want to go out of the palace will stay in the palace, as usual."

"That's good." Kangxi said that she was born as a tea-serving court lady, and she spoke like this because of a feeling in her heart.

To him, this is not a big deal, and if he agrees, he will agree, not to mention that he has already made this case.

He agreed, and Umalu smiled and said, "My lord is a good man."

Kangxi smiled and shook his head: "Elinzhu, you are the good person."

It's all about interests and the most human nature.

She is far kinder than him.

The two slept together.

Kangxi left early in the morning and went out. He remembered this incident and asked Liang Jiugong to send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to remind him that the palace servants would leave the palace at the age of 30. Those who wanted to leave the palace should leave the palace. The palace also issued a sum of dismissal money, and those who didn't want to leave the palace stayed in the palace.

This matter was also sent to the palaces to mention it, although they don't know why their emperor thought of it again, but the palace people were still happy about it, and bowed in the direction of Qianqing Palace, thanking the emperor for his kindness grace.

When this matter spread to the Yonghe Palace, Liuli dressed her up and said, "My master has suffered a loss. The emperor ordered it in the 16th year of Kangxi, but..."

It's just that Umalu was seriously ill at that time, and no one told her, and no one mentioned it later, so what happened now.

Umalu knew what she was going to say, and said with a faint smile: "I am willing, so there is no loss or loss."

Liuli smiled with difficulty, and said, "Master, little master was sent to Jingling."

She helped Umalu out and pointed her in the direction: "I heard from them that Jingling is there. The emperor invited lamas and monks to recite Buddhist scriptures for the little master. When she crosses her, she can be reborn in a pure land. No matter how bad it is, she can be reborn in a good place." People."

It is very good for a child who died young to be treated like this.

Umalu watched from a distance in the Yonghe Palace in the Forbidden City, and the layers of towers and palaces covered her eyes.

She nodded: "Alright."

Liuli wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.

That little master has only one tomb, but no tombstone.

The son who died young does not erect a monument.

But this is already a great gift, the other little masters who died young only entered the temple, and few of them could be buried in the imperial tomb.

The emperor loves and respects his master, only the little master can have such good treatment.

If these things are said, the master will definitely be sad, so it is better not to say them.

She stood quietly beside Umalu.

Umalu suddenly said: "You ask someone to recite the scriptures for her for a few more days, so that she can vote for a good family."

Don't be like this life, it came to her stomach.

Liuli replied, "Yes."

Umalu stood for a while, and was helped in by Liuli.

Umalu sat on the couch for a while, then went to bed and rested.

She really didn't have the energy to see the fourth and sixth children.

She closed her eyes.

She acted as usual all the time, so calm, without a trace of sadness, Liuli gradually let go of her heart.

After three or five days, Wei Zhu brought someone to deliver a box. He asked someone to deliver the box, and said with a smile: "The emperor loves Master De, and specially asked someone to sort it out and send it to Master De. Director Liang couldn't spare his hands. Just let me go."

Liuli handed over the money: "Thanks for your hard work, father-in-law."

Wei Zhu took it, and said with a smile: "The emperor said that if Master De doesn't like it, he can rearrange the staff at any time."

Wei Zhu still smiled: "If there is no manager Liang, there will be no such benefits."

Liuli handed over some more silver, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I forgot Mr. Liang, what should be hit, what should be hit."

Wei Zhu left after bowing to Liuli.

After waiting for Wei Zhu to leave, Liuli looked at Meng Deyi and sighed, "Wei Zhu is smart."

Meng Deyi was already in his 20s, and he became more and more calm. Hearing the words, he said indifferently: "I'm not smart at all. It's good to be by Master De's side."

Liuli smiled and went in.

Liuli opened the box to Umalu, and inside it was a stack of land deeds.

Liuli then relayed what Wei Zhu said to Umalu.

Umalu thought for a while, and asked Liuli to call Meng Deyi in.

After Meng Deyi finished his salute, he stood aside politely.

Umalu asked Liuli to show Meng Deyi the stack of title deeds.

She said: "I don't worry about the people outside. You have to have someone yourself. You have always been honest and responsible. I plan to let you go out and watch for me."

Meng Deyi hurriedly said: "I don't know how to do abacus. I'm afraid that I will be fooled by them. I'm afraid I won't be able to do the job and damage my master's reputation."

Umalu didn't care about it, he just smiled and said: "It's enough for you to think about these things, as long as you can control them. Besides, there is no one in this world who is born with it."

Meng Deyi no longer refused, only said: "The slave takes orders."

Umalu nodded, and then talked about his plan: "I plan, if there is a surplus, I will give porridge for one day on the first and fifteenth day of each month. If the income is more, I will give porridge for three to seven days. .At the end of the day, you can figure it out.”

"Yes."

"Every quarter, once a year, once a year, and at the end of the year, the account book will be sent to the palace." Umalu paused, "Wu Ya's family has never produced any capable people, and at that time, [-]% will be sent to Wu Ya's house , [-]% is reserved for relief, [-]% is reserved for labor expenses, and the rest is reserved for capital.”

"If you can't figure it out..." She looked at Meng Deyi, "I can let you take charge, but I can also remove you at any time."

She has also opened a shop and done business herself, and there are several people under her command, so she doesn't understand the twists and turns in the middle.

"But you are someone close to me, so I don't worry about you." She smiled softly, "Be honest, I won't lose you."

She beat her repeatedly, but Meng Deyi didn't understand, so he quickly bowed his head and said he didn't dare.

Umalu thought for a while, and then said: "You have gone out to take charge, just use all means to gain power, don't have to bear it. I am your backer."

She said flatly: "You can tell them that they have countless opportunities to fool you and me, but as long as they fail to fool you once, then wait for the head to fall."

Although she can't kill people, it doesn't prevent her from scaring the people below.

She will have to play hard and soft.

Although Umalu often feels that she is a stupid person, she just has a more careful heart, but those who know her well don't know her intelligence.

Seeing that she was full of concerns, Meng Deyi bowed his head and said yes.

Liuli listened quietly at the side, and she looked at the woman lying on the couch from the corner of her eye. She was beautiful and gorgeous, but her elegance overwhelmed her beauty, with solemnity and compassion.

She seems to be sympathetic to the world.

For some reason, Liuli felt sad and almost cried.

She always felt that the Forbidden City was a gorgeous cage, trapping this noble and pampered woman.

The cuckoo cries blood, the hawk breaks its beak, and the phoenix breaks its wings.

Her master seemed to be soaring in the nine heavens, free and accomplished, but he was trapped in the deep palace and depressed for many years.

She knew that she shouldn't have such an idea, and she couldn't think of any place suitable for her master with her barren mind, but at least it shouldn't be here.

But she won't say anything.

A servant must learn to shut up.

She withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and never looked up.

Umalu said: "Okay, go down and get ready."

"Yes." Meng Deyi backed out.

Liuli put away the box, and carried it to the vault to put it away, with the orb accompanying her.

When Liuli came back, she went to see Meng Deyi, who was packing his things.

Liuli stood at the door, smiled at Meng Deyi and said, "You are lucky to do things for the Master."

Meng Deyi stopped his hands and looked back at Liuli: "You will have such a day too."

Liuli smiled and said, "I'll wait."

Meng Deyi knew that he was not a smart person, so he didn't play charades with her, and asked directly, "What do you want to do here?"

Liuli looked at him, and finally said, "It's just out of good intentions to remind you a few words."

Meng Deyi saluted: "Please speak."

"We are all dependent on the master, so we must not hate the master."

"I am honest and do my duty."

Liuli shook her head: "From now on, you are no longer the chief eunuch of Yonghe Palace, how can you manage the Huangzhuang shop below in the same way as Yonghe Palace?"

Liuli smiled, but with a three-pointed ruthlessness: "You have to be ruthless, you have to be evil, you have to let them always remember that you came out of the palace, and you are someone close to the master. Everything you have is given by the master. You have to be faithful to your master."

At the end, she smiled more tenderly: "Our master is kind-hearted, and we don't see suffering. But we are the master's slaves, and we are proud to consider everything for the master. That is our duty as slaves."

"I got it."

Liuli sighed: "We have also been together for a few years, I hope you will have a better life in the future."

"Thank you."

Looking at his mediocre appearance, Liuli couldn't tell what it was like, and couldn't help saying: "You, take care of the master's house more."

"Yes." Meng Deyi stepped forward and gave her a bag of silver, "This is to thank you and Baozhu for helping me all these years."

Liuli pushed back: "You can use the money as a servant, and it won't be too late to thank us two after you stabilize."

"Okay." Meng Deyi looked at her for a while, then took the money back.

Liuli left and stopped disturbing Meng Deyi.

Liuli brought the medicine in, Baozhu had put the cakes and tea on the table, and Umalu was reading a book, which was the Ksitigarbha Sutra.

Liuli did not hide, but told Umalu what happened just now.

Umalu nodded and said: "You are right, he needs money at the right time."

She paused and said, "Go and get 200 taels and give it to him."

Liuli asked Baozhu to do this, and she wanted to ask Master De some things.

Umalu knew what she was thinking, and without waiting for her to speak, he said, "Let's talk about it when Baozhu comes back. She should learn more, so that she can teach the children housekeeping."

Liuli had no choice but to say yes.

Liuli is smart, but she was taught how to be a slave since she was a child, so she inevitably didn't want her master to value others, and she strictly guarded against it, which led to the previous incident.

Although she was beaten by Umalu, she couldn't change her temper for a while.

Fortunately, she is obedient.

After Baozhu came back, Liuli asked, "Master, isn't he afraid that he will collude with others?"

She calmly said: "He will be greedy, human nature is like this. Therefore, I don't expect him to be completely clean, just like I don't care about you plotting against me."

"I don't dare." Liuli knelt down, not daring to speak.

Umalu waved his hand and didn't care: "But I don't care, as long as you generally don't do evil and do things well."

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observing, there will be no evil."

"It is impossible to have people who do not form a party. There are people who are close and distant, and things have priorities. There are a few people who can completely avoid personal relationships."

Umalu thought for a while and said: "So don't be too harsh on your subordinates."

Liuli and Baozhu had their own ideas, but they also responded: "I know."

Umalu let them go down, and continued to flip through the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" in his hand. There was a sentence in it: "Walk through the valley, there is no way to get out, spin out, spin in, spin in, spin out."

After all, she is just a layman.

Being in the world of mortals, how can we avoid the world of mortals.

Meng Deyi packed his things and came to say goodbye to Umalu. He knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said: "Without a master, there would be no slaves today. The slaves will definitely do their best as masters."

Umalu asked Liuli to give the token, and said with a smile: "You go, this palace will always be your support."

Meng Deyi withdrew.

He left the deep palace gate.

He looked back, he entered the palace at the age of seven, worked as a servant for five years, was favored by his master, followed his master for eight years, and followed his master for three years.

He spent most of his time in the palace.

He didn't know what would happen to him in the future, but no matter what, he should be loyal to his master.

He carried the burden on his back and walked towards the crowd.

Soon it was New Year's Eve, and Umalu recovered a bit, but it was the first time that he finished the whole banquet.

She has always maintained her health, and Liuli didn't bother her with mundane matters, so she was inevitably a little unclear about the things in the palace. After looking at it today, she realized that there were a few more concubines in the harem.

Liuli explained to her in a low voice.

Apart from her, there are imperial concubine Tong Jia, concubine Yi Guo Luoluo, concubine Hui Yehenala, concubine Rong Ma Jia, and concubine Niu Hulu.

The rest are the Gege Hesheli family of Chuxiu Palace, and the Gegeborzigit family of Xianfu Palace.

The concubines are: Xi concubine Hesheli, Duan concubine Dong, An concubine Li, Jing concubine Wang Jia.

 In 1677, the 16th year of Kangxi, Kangxi ordered that court ladies could leave the palace at the age of 30.Before that, palace people leave the palace, unless it is an amnesty.

  Daqiao doesn't do anything, and great wisdom doesn't worry about it.

  Those who did not erect monuments in ancient times:

  1. A monument cannot be erected on the grave of an accidental death.

  2. Monuments cannot be erected on the graves of those who died underage.

  3. No monument can be erected on the tomb of criminals.

  4 No monument shall be erected on the grave of a childless man.
