Chapter 8

Eldest sister Shuxian's birthday is over, Yao Jing is scratching her head, she still doesn't know when her birthday is, she just remembers that it seems to be summer, she counts with her fingers, except for this one, she doesn't know any of the family's birthdays .I just seem to remember that before the earthquake in July, Er Niang took their brothers and sisters to pray to the front for several times. It seems that because the grandfather fought in the south, so his birthday can only be worshiped like this... Fuda What about Li's birthday?Seems like a few days after shaving?At that time, she just went to mourn her hair. Qingde's... forgot, but it happened before the earthquake.

Kangxi was a troubled emperor, not to mention his parents and relatives when he was young.Let's become the emperor, and the powerful ministers appear on the stage, causing him to have no choice but to force flowers to overthrow Lori to become his wife in order to get the new deal.After killing the powerful officials, he started to kill his sons. The reason why Yao Jing, who is blind in Qing history, knew this was because the maids of their family said in October: "I heard that a noble master in the palace gave birth to an elder brother. It’s really good luck.”

Then, the two girls began to talk about the ranking of this elder brother.Originally, ordinary people didn't know about this kind of thing, unless these elder brothers grew up and started to make trouble, or the emperor made it clear to the world.But because this family is in the capital, and it seems that their status is not low, so whenever there is any red or white matter in the palace, they have to go to have fun, prepare a gift or something, and wait for the prince to live to a hundred days When you are one year old, you can hand it in to the palace depending on the situation, and sometimes you have to kowtow.You can't hide the things you prepare, and there is a definite number for what kind of gifts to give to people of what level, so even the girl knows.

Long story short, let’s get back to the topic. As I said earlier, Kangxi’s dead sons have all kinds of dead sons, so his son’s number will change frequently. Two girls who are not good at math can’t figure out what is the number of this elder brother by snapping their fingers .Yao Jing was even more confused, and could only lament the strength of Master Kong's aura.Look, the eldest wife killed two of them, and the younger wife did not know how many died.In the middle, Wu Sangui rebelled, and some Mongols almost reached the capital during the process.Yao Jing also knew that in the first year of Master Kong's reign as emperor, Taiwan was transferred from the Dutch to Zheng Chenggong because of memorizing the exam questions.

Then there were all kinds of natural disasters. Since he ascended the throne, the land of the capital danced twice in three days, and the earthquakes caused the nuns to become calm.During this period, his old man also lost his two wives. This is really... If you count the chaos and chaos in Jiulong, which is so complicated that people can't remember the name and faction, Kangxi really has never had a few days of stable life in his life.

There are endless things to be fought by the sky, endless things to be fought by the earth, and endless things to be fought by people.It is a true portrayal of Kangxi's life.Yao Jingru commented.

Whether he is a Ziwei star or a broom star has nothing to do with Yao Jing. She has to recite three, one hundred, one thousand, and learn to speak (Manchu).Er Niang doesn't care much about her these days. It's the end of the year, and she has to prepare all kinds of New Year's gifts, some to the palace, and some to relatives.They only found out recently that their grandfather was recruited in July, saying that he was sent to rescue a certain place, but his grandfather refused, and so on.The specific Yao Jing is not clear, she can hear this purely because of her young age, when adults talk, she basically treats her as if she does not exist ==
Therefore, this year's gifts to the palace must be given with special care. In addition, according to the usual practice, annual gifts should be prepared for the uncle who is an official in other places.The standard father's family is very big, and the standard father's grandparents seem to be relatives of Master Kong. Anyway, relatives of all kinds of high standards have to prepare the things for the New Year at home, and prepare the storeroom for the New Year gifts from others.

The only gain during this period is that she finally knows what her last name is now.Originally, she would have known earlier, but one time, it was said that someone from her uncle's house had come to invite her, and Er Niang brought a few children there. Yao Jing tried her best to turn her head, and finally opened the curtain in the car to look at her own gate.Then, gorgeously embarrassing, there was no writing on the gate of her house!Isn't Nima Jia Baoyu's family written clearly?Don't let me know what your last name is, at least let me know what level this family is!

She didn't know that these days, people would not hang their names and official positions on the top of the door.The plaques that read "XXX Guogong's Mansion" or "Zhang's Mansion" or "Zhao's Mansion" didn't exist in the first place, and they were all played out in TV dramas.

Have you ever seen a big plaque with the word "Imperial Palace" hanging on the gate of the Forbidden City?There is Tiananmen Square in the front and Shenwu Gate in the back.

However, it is true that there is a plaque on the door of the study at home that says "Rizhizhai".If your family has a number one scholar, there may be a plaque like "No.But there may be a vertical plaque on the door...

Uh, it’s getting too far, let’s talk about the topic.She knew what her last name was, because Qingde couldn't help but see that she memorized books faster, and was stopped by Fu Dali when he wanted to teach her to write.Fu Dali said: "You're being naughty again, I'll teach you." You didn't need to draw red or anything, just scratched on the paper. Fu Dali first wrote the word "stone" and asked Yao Jing, "Do you know me?"

Yao Jing's standard pronunciation, Fu Dali said with a smile: "By the way, this word must be written well, this is our family's surname." So when Yao Jing came to this world for a year and seven months, Yao Jing said after knowing The second girl from the Shi family may be referring to herself.Fortunately, the surname is Shi. If the surname is Rang Si and Feng, it will take a year and a month to know!Nima is such a simple character, why didn’t you say it was your family’s surname when you first taught me to recognize it? !

After finally arriving in the 18th year of Kangxi, I put on brand-new clothes, a gold collar with padlocks inlaid with gemstones and pearls, and gold bracelets on my hands and feet, which was heavy.With a red string tied around her head, Yao Jing, who was bouncing around, finally gave up eating instead of breastfeeding.

When weaning her, everyone was still worried. Weaning a child is not an easy task. Some people accept the fact after crying for a few days, but even these few days are enough.There are even more difficult children who don't know how long it will take to quit successfully, and there are still children who can't do without breast milk until they are seven or eight years old.

The ethos in this family is quite upright, it doesn't indulge children very much, and it's broken as soon as it is said.It is said that when Fu Dali had a quarrel for two months, Qingde sent his wet nurse home and refused to see her for half a year. Even the more sensible girl had spent a lot of time, and Aunt Zhang came with her.

When I arrived at Yao Jing's place, it went very smoothly.This is nonsense, you can't really get used to being breastfed, right?Especially when the people around are eating, the aroma of the pure natural and pollution-free food tempts Yao Jing all the time, but it's a pity that her teeth haven't fully grown yet...

Yao Jing was in a good mood after eating delicious food.Some people's hearts are full of sorrow. Although the fight is still going on, Wu Sangui died. The situation is very good, and the atmosphere in Beijing has also loosened. It has not been lively for several years.Look, San Francisco has been in trouble for so many years, who dares to join in the fun with drums and gongs in Beijing?Even if it has been played for several years, it doesn't matter anymore, but it can't stand the death of Master Kong's two eldest wives. During the period, various dead sons were also caused, and there was an earthquake.

Just when everyone felt that the second Mrs. Kang's anniversary was approaching, and after a year, maybe they could have a lot of fun, something happened to Master Kang's family in the first month.Here, I have to repeat Kangxi's various dead sons. This time it was an elder brother who died.The dead son of the first lunar month, Master Kang, where have you offended God? !
That's all, anyway, the child died young, so it doesn't really hinder everyone's timely enjoyment.Anyway, earthquakes only come every three or two years, and sometimes the interval is longer.The death of the wife and son is the Kangxi family's business. At most, the people around them will be a little unhappy. Like Yao Jing's current family, they just do things according to the regulations.But if it doesn't rain, you'll be in trouble.

On February [-], Yao Jing finished shaving her head, touched her scalp and looked at Tiantian, it was so blue!From then on until Yao Jing passed her second birthday in the Qing Dynasty, not a single drop of water fell from the sky.Well, come to think of it, it didn't snow last winter.

The lady in charge of Erniang's place often came over to deal with matters. The balance of income and expenditure in the family usually had to go through the hands of the mistress. Although the outside affairs required a man to come forward, the second uncle was a guard in the palace. It is not fixed, usually on duty in the palace for a few days, and then rest for a few days, and stay on duty.Sometimes when I have something to ask him, I happen to meet him on duty, and I can't go to the emperor's house to arrest people, so many things outside are also taken care of by Er Niang.Yao Jing knew that it wasn't raining, but she didn't think deeply about it. Her configuration was complete, and she couldn't feel the impact of the drought at all.As the housekeeper, Er Niang is greatly affected by the drought. Once there is a drought, the family's Zhuangzi's harvest will be affected.

The lady in charge came back frequently, and Yao Jing also heard about it, so she couldn't help but also became worried.

I heard that the emperor went to ask for rain in person, and the streets were closed.Master Kang, you are still superstitious!
The news that the emperor personally prayed for rain has just come in, and it will fall within two hours!rain!up!
The girls stood on the porch and pointed at the ground in the yard, smiling and watching the raindrops fall, while Yao Jing sat in the room feeling silly...

Is this also OK? !
God, in fact, you love Master Kang deeply in your heart, right?Just don't know how to express it, right?So like a little boy in kindergarten, he bullies the little girl he likes to get her attention?So it's not fun to find Master Kong twice in three days, and you didn't discover your true inner thoughts until he begged you?Then be responsive?

It turns out not to be!

Because in July of the 18th year of Kangxi, there was another earthquake in the capital!Still a serious one!
The house was rickety, and even the people in the capital who had already calmed down couldn't calm down.The wall is falling and the house is collapsing!Groundwater is coming out!The sky is full of dust, birds are flying around, and there are loud noises everywhere. Yao Jing has an illusion of 2012. Maybe she can wear it back now?Yao Jing was thinking of completely unreliable things.

Time travel is not something that you can wear whenever you want. It is often that you don’t wear what you want to wear.So Yao Jing quietly watched her family deal with the aftermath.My own house was fairly solid, the main house didn't collapse, but most of the place where the servants lived was destroyed, a few died and many people were crushed.

The first thing Er Niang realized was to send someone to the government school to see if the two sons were safe, and then brought the two daughters over to check. After all, the big girl was a child, and her face was disfigured by crying, but Yao Jing didn't cry. Also white!Isn't this at the same level as last year's earthquake!Er Niang was so frightened that she almost thought she was stupid, hugged her and patted her on the back several times, Yao Jing twitched the corners of her mouth, and said in a sleepwalking voice: "Er Niang, I'm fine."

Fu Dali and Qingde came back, their faces were not good-looking, and they were disheartened, but luckily they were not injured.The second uncle also sent someone to say hello, saying that the camp was in chaos outside, and told the family to keep an eye on the door and not to move around.He was a bodyguard in the palace, and he was at home on a day off, so he took the opportunity to help out with the affairs outside. Everything was almost ready, and he had to go to the palace to show his loyalty, in case Master Kang would think that he was not loyal enough.

At this moment, everyone didn't dare to stay in the house anymore, they packed up some things and nestled in the open space.Another person in charge said: "The northeast corner of the warehouse has collapsed." Er Niang asked about the casualties when she found out that the warehouse was only for storing clumsy household items.

Four days later, staff from relevant government departments came to the door: "Is your house okay?" Your sister!How long has it been?

But when someone came here to investigate, they had to say in a good voice: "It's very good, the grace of the Holy Grace is mighty." Your sister!It's not a big deal and everyone survived.

When the earthquake is over, people have to continue to live.Those who should go to school should go to school, those who should go to work should go to work, those who should be buried should be buried, and those who should be treated should be cured. Those who should repair houses should also repair houses.The imperial court finally realized that it was subsidizing the collapsed houses and exempting them from taxes.

There was an earthquake, and many people lost their livelihoods. After 20 years of hard work, they returned to before liberation.Yao Jing is two and a half years old, and Da Niu Niu is also five years old. According to the actual age, she is even older.Er Niang decided to ask a teacher to teach them Braille. After all, girls from such a family may not be talented, but it is better to know Braille, at least it will be more convenient when they are housekeepers in the future.

The husband is not at home, the son is still young, and the brother-in-law is not married and socializes very well, so he finally entrusted his mother's family.The uncle's family sent a decent maid to answer the conversation. At that time, Yao Jing was staying in the main room of Erniang with the elder sister and listened to the audience.The person responsible is articulate and clear-headed.Through her reply, Yao Jing now knew that Eniang's natal family was the Sirut family of Zhengbai Banner in Mongolia who had found a husband.

It's a coater under Zhengbai's banner, surnamed Jiang, who won the imperial examination, but has not yet been awarded a Jinshi, and the world is in chaos. He is afraid that he will be sent to the war-torn south as cannon fodder.Bannermen take off their coats. In addition to rewards, if they win the Jinshi, they may also take off their coats.This person's goal is to change from the wrappers to ordinary Manchurians who are in the banner, um, the Han army banner.Because of the earthquake, the house collapsed, and a lot of family property was lost, so I simply came out to teach and subsidize the family.
