Chapter 973 He Walked Against the Light, in the Eyes of Everyone
After all the calculations, in about three years, Da Gege is going to get married.
Ruoyin originally thought that Da Gege would not be able to spend a few birthdays at her mother's house, so she had to take care of it.
In addition, she had asked fourth master earlier, and fourth master had the same meaning as her.
It's just that the girl's family is nothing more than people in the harem, who prepare some gifts.
It's enough for the kids to get together and celebrate.
At night, when Ruoyin was dressing up in the room, Nanny Liu approached and said, "Mother, all the little masters in the harem have arrived, but the emperor hasn't come yet."
Ruoyin gave a faint "hmm".
Facing the mirror, she put a Dongzhu earring on her earlobe.
All of a sudden, the oval face is modified to be more delicate and beautiful.
"What about the Queen Mother?" Ruoyin asked while looking in the mirror.
"Back to your mother, the Queen Mother already valued the children of the Fourteenth Master. For us, she only cares about the older brothers, but Da Gege is just a concubine, and she doesn't seem to take it very seriously. But, it seems that she is a For the sake of the eldest daughter, Shicai ordered someone to send a rewarding gift, I heard it is a pair of gold-plated silk-wrapped double-button bracelets."
"Got it." Ruoyin got up and turned around in front of the mirror.
After seeing that everything was in order, she held Liu Nanny's hand and went to the hall.
In the relatively spacious hall, there are two rows of long desks on both sides.
The harem concubines and the emperor's heirs sat on both sides.
Hongyi and Hongxiu, as the first princes, naturally sat in the front seats.
Next is Concubine Yugui, the next ones, according to their positions, and so on.
Da Gege sat next to Concubine Qi on a table.
Ruoyin went up first.
There are two records on the top, one is hers.
There was another one for fourth master.
Now that their identities are different, even if it is a fairly ordinary family banquet, they can no longer eat around a table like a hidden mansion.
"Blessings and prosperity, my lord."
"The emperor's mother is blessed and safe."
The harem concubines and the emperor's heirs all saluted Ruoyin.
Ruoyin turned around, and after the boss sat down, he said calmly, "Today is my family celebrating Da Gege's birthday, so there is no need to be polite."
"Thank you Queen."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Unexpectedly, when everyone got up, the eunuch's voice came from outside: "The emperor is here."
All of a sudden, the people who had just sat down got up one after another, looking at the door with all eyes.
I saw a bright yellow figure appearing at the door.
He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on it.
In the night, against the light, he walked in the eyes of everyone.
The wide cuffs flutter in the wind.
The hem embroidered with mountains and rivers, as he walked, set off golden waves.
"The emperor is auspicious."
"Emperor Ama is auspicious."
Ruoyin led the crowd to salute.
Fourth Master's gaze swept around the room.
In the end, it fell on Ruoyin, who was at the top.
He walked up to the top and helped Ruoyin himself, "You don't have to be polite, queen."
Then he let go of her hand, sat down at the desk next to her, and said calmly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The next concubines and the emperor's heirs took their seats after the emperor and empress were all seated.
Immediately afterwards, the servants of the imperial dining room carried a mahogany food box and served vegetables to the fourth master, Ruoyin, and the concubines.
During the period, Ruoyin took the lead in rewarding Da Gege with a birthday gift.
The rest of the concubines also gave gifts to Da Gege in turn according to their positions.
Girls, it's nothing more than sending some beautiful jewelry.
As for the fourth master, thinking about it, he often rewarded him with big things.
Or the servant was ordered to deliver it early in the morning.
Therefore, during the banquet, he didn't say anything.
However, he was able to attend in his busy schedule, which was the best gift for Da Gege.
Only children who grow up with them can have a good childhood.
Especially for a father like fourth master, the time is even less.
Da Gege happily accepted all kinds of gifts and thanked everyone one by one.
It seems that he is well-educated and reasonable, and he is a man who understands the rules.
The mouth is also sweet and authentic: "Thank you Huang Ama, Huang Erniang, and Erniang and all the concubines for their love, my daughter is very happy."
Fourth Master looked up at Da Gege, and asked lightly, "What have you learned recently?"
Although his tone was flat, Ruoyin still felt that it was a bit too serious for the child.
I saw Da Gege, who was still generous at first, paused slightly, and said: "Huhuang Ama, the teaching nun includes teaching children, ministers and women, internal training, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female celebrities."
Women in the Qing Dynasty had a low social status.
Women pay attention to virtue without talent.
The average girl's family doesn't know how to read.
Only wealthy families, or princes and nobles, would invite nanny to their home to teach some "Women's Commandments", "Women's Rules" and "Internal Training".
The reason is that after marriage, she will take care of her husband and teach her children in her husband's house.
Then there is to teach him to be a steward, an acquaintance.
In addition, other books cannot be read.
It is even more impossible to go to school to attend open classes like the boys.
Just because women do not have the right to inherit property, their status will deteriorate day by day over time.
For most natal families, women are used for trading.
Including women among the eight major families in Manchuria.
Even the women in the royal family are the same.
At this moment, Ruoyin couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw Da Gege's cautious look.
Originally, the girl's family was pretty good.
It's the birthday again, and the whole family celebrates it.
He was stunned by fourth master to make it look like he was checking his homework.
No, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Fortunately, after fourth master asked such a sentence, he didn't ask again.
Instead, he waved his hands casually, motioning for Da Ge to sit down.
Next, everyone bowed their heads to eat.
Concubine Qi seemed to intend to invite pets, and wanted Fourth Master to go to her Changchun Palace.
Then he laughed at the dinner table and said: "Your majesty, you don't know that Da Gege has recently embroidered a peacock with its tail open, and it looks so lifelike, even better than my concubines back then."
"Er Niang..." Da Gege called Concubine Qi reproachfully.
Girls are always a little shy, and they are not as good at showing off as Concubine Qi.
In addition, the fourth master on the stall is Huang Ama, who has never seen what kind of world, what kind of embroidery, who dares to show off in front of him.
He only heard a faint "hmm" from the fourth master, without raising his head, he said: "Your embroidery skills are really not very good, Da Gege is naturally better at embroidery than you."
The translation of this sentence is: You are not good at embroidering, Da Gege, as my daughter, if he is worse than you in embroidering, then he is not good.
As soon as these words came out, Da Gege, who had gradually relaxed because he had escaped the inspection, suddenly became nervous again.
If things go on like this, wouldn't it be a lot of pressure if Huang Ama wants to personally inspect her female celebrity?
