The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 123 Development is the last word
The summer of the 45th year of Kangxi was particularly eventful. A few days after he succeeded in robbing his son in an opera, the newly born little elder brother Yin Yi in the palace was diagnosed with smallpox. Ask Minzhi not to come to the palace if there is nothing to do, especially not to bring children.Minzhi said yes, but she didn't think so in her heart. Her son had been vaccinated twice.Immune to the virus early in the morning.

Besides, the birth mother of the little elder brother who suffered from smallpox is just a noble person, and she lives in an unknown corner. Now it is an extraordinary period, and she must be under confinement. As for the child, she must have been sent out of the palace to avoid acne. The chance is contagious, the mother-in-law is really too timid.

However, Minzhi is very relieved that she does not need to enter the palace to pay her respects in a short period of time. Every time she enters the palace, it takes a day, and each palace has to take care of it. Is it tiring?Now there is no need to go, Minzhi naturally takes the children to Zhuangzi to have fun.

Because Ke An took away most of the young and strong labor force, the tenant families who stayed behind formed a new military group, and they often saw women working in the fields with their children on their backs, or gray-haired old people sitting at the door Looking forward to it, Minzhi will feel very sad. Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to separate the whole wife and children. This is all her fault. If these people never return, how will she explain to so many old and weak women and children?

In fact, Minzhi thought too much. This is the Qing Dynasty. The tenants signed the contract of selling their lives. The property and life belong to the master. The master will live if he wants him, and die if he wants him. Is it to give them the opportunity to make contributions?In the era of imperial power and hegemony, human rights are nothing but extravagant hopes.

However, Minzhi still sympathized with them very much. She asked the housekeeper to count the number of people who went to the army and the population status of each household. Those who did not have adult males in their households would be given subsidies and tax exemptions.She knew that Yinhu now needed a personal guard force of her own, and what Ke An took away was just an initial test, and they would never go to Xichuan, which was not his territory.

Most likely, he went to Jiangnan, and under Alji's command, there might be a new round of political storms in Jiangnan. If Suo'etu fell, the prince's power in Jiangnan would be greatly damaged, but after all, it was deeply rooted. , is still very deep, there are the Cao and Li families, those Taoists from Liangjiang who learned from Taiwan, Fantai and Tiertai, and even heard that the governor of Liangjiang is also a prince.

However, now, the already chaotic situation has joined Yinhu's army of scholars. With their knowledge, wisdom, and enthusiasm, these young students have gradually come from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and become a new force that cannot be ignored. What Minzhi was astonished was that, similar to history, not long after Yinhu was named Lian County King, there was a voice of a virtuous king in the south of the Yangtze River.

According to word of mouth, Prince Lian sympathized with the people and shared joys and sorrows with them.The Qiyun Temple where Yinhu and the others used to live was renovated and became a charity branch of Yimen. climate.Of course, Minzhi only learned about this from Yimen's letters after a long time.

Nowadays, the role of carrier pigeons has been widely used. Whether it is Yimen or the army station in Alzie, there are special carrier pigeon bases. The breeding pigeons taken from Nanzhuang have been carefully cultivated and have fully bloomed.

In fact, in the early Qing Dynasty without radio and electromagnetic interference, the flight error rate of the carrier pigeon was extremely low, and it was a very useful tool for sending messages. After all, it was almost impossible to establish a systematic green postal network in such a backward place in the Qing Dynasty. The completed task, here, everything belongs to the emperor, the nobles, and the densely packed yellow and red belts.

There are no public facilities, and there is no concept of public use. Minzhi has been assimilated by this status quo, just like she used to adapt to no TV, no Internet, no highway, no public transportation, she is also fully adapted to letting a white pigeon fly, Then wait for the other to fly back.Carrying love and hope.Fun, and the spirit of self-worth, brought a different beauty to her life as a lady.

She doesn't mind doing things in the name of Yinhu. The title of Princess Lianjun means that she and him are closely related, and Li Minzhi, like another soul in her body, quietly infiltrates her when she desires. consciousness.

Let her experience the joy of being "different" and being "admired" and "looking up to". This kind of fun only sprouts occasionally and then disappears.She is still the princess of Lianjun who hides in the compound of the deep house, the head mistress of the Wang family of Lianjun who is loved and trusted by her husband.

She enjoys all this willingly, and all panic, worry, and fear fade away. In the 45th year of Kangxi, she spent seven full years to fully adapt and integrate herself into this era from body to heart. No longer entangled whether Yinhu's love is superficial or sincere, and what is the purpose of Kangxi's probing.All she wants now is for the whole family to be safe and sound.In this kind of peace, realize every little dream of yourself.

In Dongzhuang's studio, a few blond and blue-eyed people are busy working on the canvas. A piece of pastoral scenery, figures, flowers and birds, come alive on the paper. The old master and the young man are arguing endlessly about whether a certain link of the sculpture should be curved or straight.Hanyin and the embroiderers in Zhuangli learned the practical application of three-dimensional geometry and perspective theory under the guidance of foreign painters.

On the square, stonemasons are carving a screen wall. It is not about offering blessings from bats, nor is it about growing lotuses every step of the way. It is the story of the birth of Athena, the goddess of war in Western mythology. The difference is that the goddess Athena here is a A petite loli in a cosmos dress with a bow headband.

Minzhi had a requirement for foreign painters, that he could paint any theme, but all figure paintings must be well-dressed and peaceful, and there must be no stereotyped paintings like "David" or "Genesis" , of course, if they wanted to go to the stake.

So, not only Athena has changed, but also the little angels, with the same wings, but with a Chinese-style red apron on their bodies.Even Western painters began to draw door gods for the tenants, listened to them talk about the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, listened to Kunqu opera, and fell in love with the beautiful costumes and makeup.It is acceptable to shave their heads on February [-], and at the beginning of summer, they will also get boiled eggs from the tenants' grandmothers and the so-called plague-fearing spells that they can't understand.

After Kangxi's strict suppression, they would choose to obey and abide by some things without Minzhi reminding them.Everything will become better with tolerance and communication. At least in Zhuangzi, the missionaries have been recognized by everyone.

What's more, to Minzhi's delight, Yinzhen loves money, while Yin'er is a martial artist.These Western missionaries have other functions in their eyes, such as metallurgy, gem processing and sword fighting.

Minzhi turned a blind eye to this. The benefits of foreigners to the Qing Dynasty must be gradually discovered, accepted, and recognized by someone.It is still too late to take advantage of it.Taking off the cloak of religion, they are also a group of young people full of enthusiasm and rich emotions. Perhaps the subtle influence of the present can bring surprises to everyone someday in the future.

Those things sent by Kangxi have now all been sent to Zhuangzi, and exquisite works of art have been born one after another.While making a lot of money, Xiao Jiu didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes watching all this silently.

In August, the gates of the inner court were reopened, and the little elder brother who had smallpox had recovered. Like his pockmarked father, he also had a pitted face, but he survived after all.In the Qing royal family, where the birth rate was very high and the death rate was also very good, it was considered a happy event.Because of this, this year's Eight Banners family banquet was very lively, and Kangxi called all the princesses who married far away to visit their relatives.

By the way, it was also announced that the eighth princess was officially conferred the title of Princess Heshuo Wenke, and set off for the Wengniud Grassland on August [-] to marry Wang Canglu of Duling County.Kangxi personally sent Yinyin, Yinzhi, Yinhu, Yinxiang and Yinjin to marry him, including Princess Wang of Zhijun, Princess Guo Luoluo of Lianjun, Hongyu, the eldest son of Prince Zhijun, and the eldest son of Prince Lianjun. Zihongwang Hongzhe accompanied him.

Minzhi just fluctuated slightly about this. The princesses of the Qing Dynasty are really sad. Seeing them come back this time, Princess Heshuo Heshuo Chunxi and Princess Gulun Rongxian are still healthy and tough, and the others are as good as they come back. Seemingly, looking at Princess Heshuo Wenke who is about to marry, Minzhi sighed, this baby probably won't live long, and Kangxi will only add another princess grave to the grassland if he marries her now.

As for the grandson or granddaughter that Kangxi always wanted to see, it was even rarer. Seeing that Minzhi kept curling her lips, the daughters of the royal family are really sad. They are all sick and weak, and they will be sold by the father to seek politics. Benefit.Thinking about Han Yingege who was alive and kicking in her family, Minzhi shook her head, she didn't seem to be missed.

The liveliness of Hongwang and Hongzhe became the focus of the envy of the sisters-in-law. The Princess of Zhijun, Wang Shi, just conceived a month ago, but she became a man in one fell swoop, and she had a serious face, which made Hongyu's situation even more embarrassing.Fortunately, although Hongyu's mother was not kind, she protected her son as kind and harmless as a little sheep. Kangxi also favored him, so he was also named this time.

However, in Minzhi's view, his two sons are the cutest. Although they are healthy and lively, it is a headache to cause damage, but boys are more lovable if they are mischievous when they are young.

In addition, the eighteenth elder brother Yinjin is already six years old. Last year, he moved out of the Qianqing Palace and went to the elder brother's office. He went to the study room with his brothers to receive training. Now he looks like a little adult.The three uncles and nephews are one level apart, but they are similar in age. Yinjin and the two nephews played together, and Kangxi was overjoyed to see him, which gave the onlookers a lot of "useful" information.
