Chapter 514 Time flies by
Fortunately, now that Xiao Jiufujin has come here from the future, the relationship between father and son is in a state of balance. He trusts the prince, but...
It is better to keep power in your own hands.
Kangxi put aside those thoughts and looked at the anxious Wei Zhu over there, "You can speak boldly in front of me, I won't punish you, you are right, the fourth brother is indeed affectionate, well, you are scared, I was just thinking about something."
"Your Majesty has saved my life, and I will never hide anything from you," Wei Zhu immediately expressed his loyalty.
Who knows whether it is true or false? The only thing we know is that Liang Jiugong, who is very smart and can understand Kangxi’s thoughts with just one look or one gesture, is no longer Kangxi’s most trusted steward!
Wen Yao could not hide the turmoil outside the Great Wall. She and Yinzhen had already known a lot of the gossip. While visiting Four Seasons Villa, they drew a lot of blueprints. Although they were not satisfied with them, some places were not suitable for building houses.
However, the only progress is that Dr. Yun agreed to make medicinal bath balls. According to Madam Yun, if there is a way to make money, why not make it?
The money I got for free, if I don’t take it, I have to take it! I have to take it!
He agreed very readily!
Time flies. While Wen Yao is trying to find a way to build the villa and fool... ahem, help Wen Xian and play a prank on... no, take care of Naibao, Yinzhen is involved in state affairs and shuttles back and forth between the Ministry of Personnel and the cement matter. Time flies by quietly.
"Ah, ah ...
At the one-year-old birthday party, Naibao wasn't satisfied with just this one act, he also used his problem as a stick and started doing somersaults. If Wen Yao and Yinzhen weren't thick-skinned, they would have been killed!
Although Naibao can’t explain other things clearly, he can understand this very well after eating a stick from me, Sun.
Fortunately, the two of them are thick-skinned... ahem, they can fool people and make up for it. After all, this kid is both literary and martial, what a good kid!
After all, it is rare to see a child who can speak at one year old and can say so much!
"Eat!" At this moment, Naibao slapped the table and looked at the thing that Nanny was playing with anxiously. Naibao is now one and a half years old.
Wen Yao looked at her chubby, white and tender baby, and then at the wet nurse who was holding a bowl of steamed egg custard. This wet nurse was new. After all, the wet nurse had to provide milk, and it could not do so continuously all year round. She had to be replaced every three or four months.
"Give the bowl to the baby and let him eat by himself." Although her baby's food was everywhere, Wen Yao felt that it was better to take it slow than to chase him to eat.
Naibao took the wooden spoon, looked at the bowl in front of him, tilted his head to look at his mother, then held the wooden spoon with his whole hand and started to scoop the egg custard, "Ah...oh? Ah..."
After a long time, he couldn't even get a bite. He got anxious, angry, and...
Naibao looked at his mother aggrievedly, "I'm hungry, eat, mother, eat!"
"He was very good at singing Monkey King at this time," Wen Yao smiled at her aggrieved son, "Naibao, you can eat whatever you want and as much as you want after you eat. Naibao is the best. Wow... he actually ate it. That's great~"
The Tenth Lady was eating yogurt and watching this scene not far away. She said that she would teach her children in the same way when she had them in the future, so that they could be self-reliant.
"Well, Naibao is the fattest (great)!" Naibao grinned and continued to struggle with the wooden spoon, no, with the egg custard.
"Nineth sister-in-law, just let Naibao eat by himself? He can't eat much from this bowl," the Tenth Lady spoke in Mongolian. She had not learned Chinese much until now. She said it was too difficult, so she just gave up.
You will understand it when you get older. This is what the Tenth Lady herself firmly believes!
"Here, isn't that a bite?" Wen Yao smiled calmly, "By the way, why are you here today?"
"I really want to go on the southern tour," the Tenth Lady lowered her head in frustration, "If I don't bring my family with me this time, I won't be able to go even if I want to."
"After all, there are many important matters that need to be investigated by the Emperor Father this time. The purpose of this southern tour is also to investigate the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River and floods in various places. The cement issue has spread throughout the Qing Dynasty, and cement is used everywhere. If there are still floods every year, it is very likely related to officials. Let's wait until next time. During the next southern tour, if there is a chance, we will go together." Wen Yao actually wanted to go, but Naibao was too young, and Kangxi had a mission this time, after all, many policies had been implemented nationwide.
When thinking of those policies, one thinks of the issue of foot binding and hairstyle. Kangxi took advantage of the situation by letting the Han officials propose abolishing the unified hairstyle and the Manchu officials propose abolishing foot binding. The two families quarreled for a long time.
Finally, you can decide your hairstyle by yourself, whether to keep long hair, braids, or any other hairstyle, it is all up to you, according to your personal wishes.
This is simple to say, but once this case came out, the Qing Dynasty was slightly turbulent. Fortunately, it was very beneficial to the Han people and satisfied their previous expectations, so there was not much turbulence. After all, the Han people were much more numerous than the Manchus.
However, the abolition of foot binding did cause rebellions in many places. Fortunately, the abolition of shaving hair style came first, otherwise it would not have been possible to suppress it in a short period of time.
An attempt had been made before, but foot binding was not abolished compulsorily. This time it was mandatory, which caused rebellion. Fortunately, various policies were implemented at the same time and the problem was resolved satisfactorily.
But many people also died. In some places, foot binding still existed, and some women who wanted to resist were suppressed by their family members, which also killed many people. The number of cases handled by officials in various places was several times that of previous years.
The dead were mostly women.
Only a few people were able to seek justice, but fortunately, with the passage of time, the number of foot binding cases has gradually decreased, and the number of deaths has slowly returned to previous levels.
"We'll go together next time," the Tenth Lady nodded. "By the way, Ninth Sister-in-law, have you heard that Eighth Sister-in-law is not pregnant yet? Two of the other concubines in the harem are pregnant, and many people are betting that they won't be able to give birth."
"Eighth sister-in-law shouldn't be that stupid. She should be able to give birth this time," Wen Yao took a bite of spicy bean curd and looked at the Tenth Lady. "Naqi, you know a lot of details, don't you?"
"That's right. I know that Eighth Sister-in-law didn't know about it until they were three months old. But she was angry for a long time. The news came out again, but what made Eighth Sister-in-law angry was not that there was a pregnancy in the backyard, but that they concealed it, causing Eighth Sister-in-law to be misunderstood and would harm her offspring again," the Tenth Lady talked freely about gossip, so those who knew it must be clear. "In fact, Eighth Sister-in-law really didn't want to harm Eighth Brother's offspring, but it's a pity that others don't believe it."
"Do you know who spread the news?" Wen Yao knew about this matter, and she also knew who spread it, and who helped them hide the fact that she was three months pregnant.
