Chapter 497

Chapter 266 (1)
The Queen is not happy with the portrait, it's just a little gossip.Right now, there are a lot of major events in the imperial court and the royal family, and this matter is not conspicuous.However, in the eyes of concerned people, this is a big deal.No, there are people who want to take over this job through various relationships, "try to draw a portrait that satisfies Her Majesty the Queen".

Shujia was a little surprised and asked Dong Eshi: "Do you know Westerners who are good at painting?"

This Dong E family is Sanfujin's younger sister and Fu Erchen's wife.Shujia vaguely knew that someone in her husband's family believed in religion, but she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Seeing that Shujia seemed to be interested, Dong E became more energetic: "Exactly, there are quite a few religious believers in the servant's family, so I know a few Westerners. In fact, these Westerners do things in the same way as the people here. The truth is that the more fame and fame you have, the more timid you will be, but some wild cranes often surprise people."

Sanfujin helped his younger sister: "That's true. If you don't seek merit, but seek no faults, isn't that the ability to be in the middle? It's a lack of craftsmanship."

Shujia didn't immediately agree: "Tell them to try to draw a few pictures first, and I'll talk about it after I've seen them."

Dong E's was overjoyed: "Hey."

The Dong E sisters left the summer resort and went to Yunzhi's garden together.When they arrived at the main room of Sanfujin, the two sisters sat and talked with a cup of tea each.San Fujin said: "Will the matter you mentioned be accomplished?"

Dong E said: "Those Westerners have some skills. You have seen the paintings, and they are not bad. Didn't my brother-in-law agree?"

San Fujin said: "That's good, you have to teach Westerners the rules."

"You can rest assured."

The sisters all let out a sigh of relief, and their faces were bright.

The Aixinjueluo family has multiplied so far, and the scale has become quite large. It is so big that the empresses can no longer recognize all the descendants of Nurhar and their wives and concubines. Ding is just an extra yellow belt.

With such a large population, there is bound to be competition.Fight for a chance to show your face and a decent treatment.

Even close relatives such as the Yunzhi family need to strengthen their sense of existence at all times.For example, accepting an errand, or building a good relationship with the queen.If, if there are people around the empress who I recommend to go up, it is also a helping hand, isn't it?
Sanfujin is still more optimistic about his sister's in-law's family. This time the missionary has a good relationship with Sunu's family, which is also beneficial to him.As the recommender, she has credit and has face with the queen.At the same time, it is also a good sale for Sunu, and there is no loss in this deal.

Dong E's family was also happy. Her husband is the son of Sunu's stepmother, and only after passing the exam can he be a third-class town general.The prospects are really not optimistic, so we need to explore in many ways.

Among the huge Jueluo population, there are also some talented people.Such as Sunu.Sunu is a descendant of Xiuying, counting from Nurhachi, that is the most orthodox bloodline.Unfortunately, Chu Ying, the eldest son, committed a crime and was personally convicted by Nurhachi. Of course, his descendants cannot be very prosperous.Not to mention the Huang Taiji line that became the emperor, even the same mother and brother Daishan line can't compare.

Perhaps it is such a huge contrast that makes the Xiuying Department produce a lot of people who work hard to "move up".There are those who work hard to flatter, and there are also those who work hard like Sunu.He served in the Clan Mansion, participated in the compilation of the Jade Document, accompanied Kangxi on three expeditions to Galdan, and then served as the General of Shengjing.

Sunu's hard work paid off, and his personal title was promoted to beizi.Compared with the vast majority of people in the Xiuying Department, it is more than one or two points better.

Historically, this gentleman was anti-Yongzheng, and he was still a relatively hard-core Baye Party. The people around him did some dark things.However, right now, he is just a very motivated clan.

If you don't make progress, you can't do it!Su Nuguang's official eldest wife has four successors, and there are many concubines in addition.These women gave birth to thirteen sons alone, what a family!Anyway, he is also the descendant of Nurhachi's eldest son, and he feels ashamed of living in such a poor life, so he can't work hard!

Frankly speaking, the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties were still very good to the Sunu family.Shunzhi gave Sunu a relatively high title, otherwise, in terms of his non-hereditary succession, his rank should be lowered very low.Kangxi, on the other hand, discovered Sunu's talent and assigned him an errand, and because he was able to handle the errand well, he was promoted to be the first son.Not only that, Sunu's sons also married pretty good wives.

Who would think that their life is too good?And thirteen sons!There is only one who can inherit the title, and he has to be lowered to a lower rank. The other sons have to pass the exam to get a worse title. When it comes to grandchildren, many people will become idle clans!

Can't help but worry!
It's useless to be anxious, you still have to hug the emperor's thigh.

Historically, what Sunu himself adopted was to hug the thigh of Kangxi, the responsible emperor, and curry favor with the thigh of Yunyu, who he was more optimistic about and believed to be the next emperor.He did a good job in the former, but in the latter he could only say that he had misjudged, and he couldn’t blame others for being harmonized in the end.

Right now, Yinreng is striving for success, which also saves a lot of trouble for the clan, relatives, and ministers. Everyone just follow the emperor honestly.As a result, many families were spared from being involved in the vortex of seizing the heir, and saved their family property and lives.

Sunu's family has nothing to speculate on anymore, just follow the emperor obediently.By currying favor with the emperor, and then currying favor with the empress and prince, the foundation of the family will gradually develop through the three dynasties, and it will become a relatively stable family in the clan.

With such an idea, Su Nu himself will take care of his errands seriously, and the female family members of the family will naturally try to build a good relationship with the palace.What's more, among Su Nu's daughters-in-law, there are two very convenient conditions: Dong Eshi, the wife of the seventh son Leqin, is the daughter of seventy, and sister of Jiu Fujin; His first wife, Dong Eshi, is the daughter of Yongqin Gong Pengchun, and she and Sanfujin are sisters.

What's more, among the thirteen sons of Sunu, twelve have survived to this day, and all of them have married wives and had children.Cough cough, this is not the point, the point is that among the twelve people, more than half are Catholics.It's hard to say whether this is because the desire in my heart is too urgent and the road ahead is difficult, so I need a spiritual sustenance.

Anyway, Sunu's house is probably one of the places with the highest density of believers besides the church.

To believe in religion, of course, someone preaches to them. They are so devout, and the missionaries naturally try their best to run to their homes.First, Sunu's sons believed in Catholicism, and then under the lobbying of the doctrine and missionaries, they tried their best to persuade Sunu to convert.

Sunu's life experience is richer than that of his sons. Although he has a good impression of Catholicism, he thinks some of the content is good.However, he still felt that it was not good to convert to Catholicism, and he also reprimanded his sons: "How decent is it to jump up and down?"

The sanity index of the fanatical religious elements is negative, and the Sunu disciples not only refused to listen, but even asked the missionaries to give them Christian names!Sunu is not happy, Nima missionaries have to take a Chinese name before they can walk in China, but his sons and imperial nobles are proud of taking foreign names!
After scolding, the sons became more honest, and Sunu himself eased his attitude towards missionaries, and a delicate balance was reached between father and son.The sons knew that their father did not have any malice towards Catholicism, so they continued to persuade Sunu to seize every opportunity to develop their father into Christianity.

Thanks to Sunu's acquiescence, his sons became more devout to God, and even the daughters-in-law learned a little about the teachings.At the same time, the Sunu family has very close ties with Catholic missionaries.

Conscious missionaries worked hard to establish a good relationship with the sons of Sunu, trying to develop their families to become believers, and then expand their influence.In the early Qing Dynasty, the living environment of the missionaries was very good, such as Nan Huairen, who had a low moral character and made a lot of noise, could seize the opportunity to frame Dai Zi, who was in the South Study Room, and exile him up.Of course, there are elements of court power competition, but it cannot but be said that this reflects the status of missionaries.

However, he is not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. The Pope, the pig teammate of the missionaries, somehow made a mistake and sent someone to start a dispute over etiquette with Kangxi.The emperor got angry and almost ruined everyone's jobs!

Originally, the main job of missionaries was to spread the Gospel of the Lord, and the rest of painting, mathematics, and medicine were purely personal hobbies.It's good now, if you don't know how to have a side job, people don't want you at all!The missionaries also had nothing to do with the Pope.Even if you want to steal something, you have to open the door first and enter the house, right?It's better for you, run to the door and shout: "Be serious, be serious, this is robbery!" No wonder people can open the door for you.

Arrogance also has the cost of arrogance, if you can kick someone's door open with one kick, then you can shout.The problem is that right now you don't have the skills.The promulgation of the Kangxi decree dealt a severe blow to missionary activities in China.

The leader of the missionaries who came into contact with Sunu's family was Ba Doming, who came to China earlier. After Kangxi issued the decree, he was not driven away because of his usual performance, and he was protected by Sunu's family. Stay in China.This has also strengthened the concept of "walking the upper-level route" among the missionaries.

Look, the emperor's status is high enough, he is not happy, the missionary activities immediately entered the ice age, Sunu is considered a nobleman, his family is willing to provide convenience, and the missionaries who are acquainted with each other will live well.Also, Mu Jingyuan (this is a missionary who took a Chinese name), that guy, holding Beizi Yunyu, lived a very nourishing life.

Hearing that the Empress was not very satisfied with the Western painters, Ba Duoming and the others became active in their hearts to paint, and there are people here who know how to paint!The custodian flattered the queen so well that he wanted to paint a second one after painting one.When painting, you have to face yourself, so you have the opportunity to get in touch, so you might as well take the opportunity to persuade the queen to become religious.

It's a good idea, and it's not impossible to realize it.You must know that Empress Xiaozhuang Wen still hung a cross in her clothes for a long time.It is said that Mr. Tang Ruowang did her a great favor, and Mr. Tang's character is really good, which moved Shunzhi and provided her with a lot of convenience.

Now that there are precedents, who can say that today's missionaries cannot go further than their predecessors?

On the one hand, the queen had this need, and on the other hand, the missionaries learned of this opportunity and wanted to seize it through conversations with the faithful.

Why not wait for Faulchen?
To develop believers is the natural mission of believers!

Fulchen and others didn't discuss it with Sunu, he first told his wife, who then went to talk to Sanfujin, and then went to investigate and recommend it to the queen.
