Chapter 320: Spring Silkworm


On this day, when the fourth master came back, he took a book of folds and showed it to Li Wei.

"What is it?"

she put down the Yongzheng money string she was playing in her hand and took it to look at it.

The excerpt was handed by the Ministry of Rites, and it was very respectful and a little apprehensive: Long live Lord, should this year be held by the queen's first silkworm ceremony?

The emperor has a pro-cultivator, and the queen naturally has silkworms.

Men plough and women weave.

Of course, Li Wei couldn't say bad when she saw it, but what did the fourth master mean by showing her this The fourth master hesitated: "Let them come up with an excerpt first." ” A few days later, both the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites drew up an excerpt.

The Ministry of Rites has discussed the evolution of the silkworm ceremony from the Han Dynasty, and the Ministry of Industry is to propose to build a sacrificial place specifically for the silkworm ceremony The fourth master put aside the Ministry of Works, and in his words, he came to find a way to get money from me and fill his pocket.

He focused on the excerpts of the Ministry of Rites.

The first emperor also attaches great importance to agriculture and mulberry, the fourth master in Fengze Garden opened next to the one acre and three points of land, there is a silkworm house specially set up by the first emperor, and the internal affairs government also has a weaving and dyeing bureau, which is responsible for making the silk of the silkworms raised by himself into finished products for the first emperor to see.

So the first silkworm ceremony didn't jump out of nowhere.

The reason why the Ministry of Rites is a little lacking in confidence is because the position of the empress of the first emperor has been vacant.

Therefore, the first silkworm ceremony is not held every year, and it is not necessarily performed by the queen.

Li Wei understands that the empress of the first emperor is generally an honorary title, and after Hesheri, Niu Colu only served for half a year, and then Tong Jiashi only served for one day.

So I didn't catch up with the first silkworm ceremony.

The Ministry of Rites has made a list, and the first emperor's pro-cultivation ceremony is not every year.

When the first emperor planned to go on patrol, the pro-ploughing ceremony was cloudy.

This year, it is also because the fourth master seems to be making a big fanfare to make a pro-ploughing ceremony, and the Ministry of Rites has also found out the first silkworm ceremony, thinking that long live now that there is a queen, pro-ploughing and the first silkworm are like a pair of chopsticks, and the conditions are naturally good.

Li Wei continued to say okay, and then waited for the fourth master to tell him what he meant.

Also, the fourth master showed her what was going on Why did she feel a little uneasy?

Sure enough, the fourth master asked her: "Let you sacrifice with the queen then."

Li Wei only felt that her eyes were dark, as if she had seen a large pie fall on her head from afar. smashed her into a concussion.

But looking at the fourth master, she felt that this proposal was quite good, and she was flattered, so she hesitated and couldn't say that the concubine couldn't do it.

But she's also grown.

Li Weiruo thought about it and sincerely proposed: "Look, it's better to let the queen be the officiant" The presiding priest must be the queen or concubine, and the queen mother really didn't have this kind of errand in the harem of the first emperor.

Although she is now the queen mother, she will be buried in the future and will be a queen, but how to say it, it is not enough to reach the top, which makes people regret thinking about it.

Li Wei said this, half to bring trouble to the east, and half to divert the attention of the fourth master to her.

She has already discovered that the fourth master hates the rhythm of drowning people with honor and favor whoever is good.

For example, when she first entered the palace, she let her take the concubine's sedan chair, for example, to give the unborn child of the thirteenth master the title and so on.

It's not bad, but it's just too good, so she wants him to take it easy and not rush too fast.

The Queen Mother herself should be quite happy, probably once or twice, but she is happy in her heart.

This mother and son are too similar, looking at the queen mother from the fourth master, you can always guess eight or nine out of ten.

But after the fourth master listened to her words, he slowly shook his head.

He didn't speak, not like a refusal, but it also meant that he was not optimistic.

But he didn't mention anything more about letting her sacrifice with the queen.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, the fourth master ordered the Ministry of Rites to preside over the silkworm ceremony.

The pro-ploughing ceremony is set at the end of February, and the first silkworm ceremony is at the beginning of March.

It will be held after the election of the Qin Tianjian on the auspicious day.

The place of worship was chosen at Kunning Palace, and both Taichang Temple and the Internal Affairs Office began to get busy.

But who will preside over the sacrifice, the fourth master did not say.

Of course, there was an uproar in the harem.

Li Wei's Yikun Palace began to be tempted by various people, true or false, and she always said that her concubines didn't know.

In Changchun Palace, Yuan Ying knelt in front of the Buddha and mechanically recited Buddhist scriptures.

The hall was filled with smoke, and the palace maids, grandmothers, and eunuchs guarding the door all had solemn faces.

But her heart was in a mess.

Banzai ordered this year's sacrifice to the first silkworm ceremony, and the former dynasty and harem have all received the news.

And she heard it from other people's mouths.

Everyone says that this is because there is a queen in the harem now, so the silkworm ceremony is held in long live.

But she was the only one who was terrified day and night.

Because, Banzai didn't let anyone tell her about the first silkworm ceremony.

Banzai not only did not send her to tell her personally, but he did not even send someone to tell her.

It's as if this silkworm ceremony has nothing to do with her.

During the night, she woke up from nightmares several times.

In the dream, she was sitting in Changchun Palace, listening to the salute in Kunning Palace, and the whole palace was saying: The silkworm ceremony presided over by the concubine.

And then she was like she was covered not with blood, but with ice.

At that time, she hated to let herself disappear completely, disappear from this palace, so that everyone could not see her.

When I woke up, I still felt this feeling.

Long live really didn't even let her preside over the first silkworm ceremony, is there any point in she, the queen, just an ornament In the harem, everyone knows that there is a noble concubine in the Yangxin Palace, and does anyone remember the queen in the Changchun Palace Every day in this harem, she only feels that the whole person is empty.

Wearing the queen's auspicious clothes and wearing the crown, she was very empty-hearted.

I don't have any confidence at all.

In the West Sixth Palace, there is no one who does not know that she was pressed down by the concubine when she was in the palace.

Each of them understands that Banzai and the concubine are inseparable, but they can leave her in the corner for half a year or a year.

Sometimes, she looked at Concubine Ke and Concubine Ning, and they were wondering if these people would also laugh at her, they would be respectful and obedient in front of her, and in private, they would also think that she could only put the queen in front of them Long live the throne, she, the queen, was given by the emperor and had to be sealed.

The concubine is his favorite, and the rest of the people are not looked at by him.

Concubine Ke has two grown daughters, but she is still only a concubine.

He still remembered that she was watching the East Courtyard back then.

And what about her Could it be that he also remembered her, but he didn't remember how many things he had done that would make him angry.

Sometimes it seems like there are so many that she can't even count them.

But sometimes she couldn't remember, she felt that she hadn't made any mistakes, why did she arouse his deep disgust Yuan Ying looked at Guanyin on the lotus seat, and the Bodhisattva twisted the flowers and smiled.

But she felt that the Bodhisattva's face was full of indifference, and although she was smiling, she did not intend to bless and transcend the suffering people in this world.

In the quiet room, only her murmuring chanting echoed.

Until the end of February, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the queen's dress for the silkworm ceremony to try on, and then the Yangxin Hall also sent a calendar for the ceremony, which said that she needed to rehearse before the silkworm ceremony, and there would be a ceremonial official to guide her every day. and fasting for three days beforehand, and so on.

Cao proudly stood below, and saw Zhang Qilin saying long live below, and the queen at the top showed a gentle smile.

In Yikun Palace, Li Wei also got the calendar, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the column of the chief priest, the fourth master wrote a whole page of names.

There are the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, her, and the ladies of the clan and ministers in Beijing.

He's planning to give the first silkworm ceremony to a big deal.

At the same time, the pro-ploughing ceremony is also a big event.

Only one day later, the fourth master held a pro-ploughing ceremony in Fengze Garden, and personally helped the plow to plough a whole and a half acres Those who accompanied him to plow the land, in addition to the brothers in the palace, also ordered one or twenty people from the previous dynasty.

Listening to Hiroshi, he came back and said that he could collect several bags of grain from the cultivated land.

She counted the number of people, the fourth master plus the brothers, and more than 20 clan ministers, one person per acre, that is more than 40 acres.

That's a lot.

After plowing the land, the fourth master specially rewarded everyone with the plough used to plough the land, one for each person.

The cattle were all brought down and rewarded to poor farmers on the outskirts of Beijing.

Erhe was curious about what the plough looked like, so Hongshi asked the plough to be carried over.

Li Wei smiled at a glance, probably so as not to wear down the palms of this group of dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, the handle and handle of the plow were wrapped in cowhide, and the whole body was lacquered and carved, and the ones made could be placed in the house as decorations.

Back to the palace of raising the heart, she also saw the imperial plow, the imperial plough looked different from Hongshi, compared, the imperial plough posture is more upright, the plough above the handle is raised high, like the head of the dragon, Hongshi is a little bowed to the meaning.

Also, the imperial plough is made of golden silk nanmu, and Hongshi uses huanghuali.

Li Wei deliberately tried the imperial plow, and found that she made the plow too hard: the top plow handle went straight to her chin, and it was easy to knock out her teeth if she was not careful.

But if it's the fourth master, it's also straight to the chest.

On the contrary, it is not as good as Hongshi's, and it is much more convenient to bend over.

The fourth master used this kind of plough to plough an acre and a half of land, and he must have been tired.

When the fourth master came back in the evening, Li Wei specially found a strong eunuch who could massage him to massage him, from his hands to his arms to the back of his shoulders.

The fourth master was pressed very comfortably, sitting and pressing on his stomach, and sighed: "My back hurts all this day." ” It was yesterday that he was tired from plowing the land, she said to herself, rubbing his shoulders.

The plow is simply an image project, just looking good, and the practicality is too poor.

The fourth master was comfortable, and finally fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up the next day, my sore and dry body felt as much more comfortable as if I had been oiled.

He looked back at Su Su, who was still sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but tuck the quilt for her, touch her sleeping warm face, pick up her clothes and go out lightly.

When he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, he picked up the calendar on the table and saw that what was written in front of him was the silkworm ceremony a few days later.

The matter of the first silkworm ceremony has been discussed these days, and the calendar has been sent.

He is now a little uneasy about the three days of fasting.

However, this kind of national event, fasting for three days should also be.

Throughout the day, he hesitated.

But every time I think about the end, I think this is a step that Susu must take.

He wants her to take on more responsibility.

The harem is related to the previous dynasty, and the queen's position is unclear, and she has her own careful thoughts in many places.

Whether it's for Honghui or herself, it's impossible for her to do what he says.

In the past, she was just in the house, and she kept making small movements.

Now that he has moved into the Forbidden City, he has repeatedly snubbed and warned her, but she is still unrepentant, and one day, he will be unable to help but set her up and make her never want to point fingers at him again This queen was so reluctant that he was unwilling The fourth master sighed softly.

Su Su must stand up at this time, she must be his hand in the harem, watch the queen for him, press the queen, and watch the queen's every move.

And it's not just because of the Queen.

It was never the queen who he cared about, but Honghui.

Honghui is not only his son, but also the eldest son of the entire Qing Dynasty.

It is also the candidate for the crown prince in everyone's minds.

What the queen did, her imminent move, if it affected Honghui, it was a major event related to the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, he must press the queen down to death, and he must not let her destroy Honghui Thinking so, he picked up his pen and added a stroke to the calendar: when performing the first silkworm ceremony, the concubine moved three steps forward and was on the left side of the queen.

After writing, he called Su Peisheng: "Take this to Taichang Temple and let them prepare according to this." ” In Taichang Temple, a person held an excerpt with the emperor's imperial pen and Zhu Pi and said to an old man with white hair: "Prince, look at this" Wang Jiling said indifferently: "Just do it."

After saying that, he ignored this person and turned his head to talk to others.

This person took the fold and wanted to say a few more words, after all, it was a national gift, and it was the first time that the new emperor had ascended the throne, and the concubine was standing half a step closer to the queen, which was really suitable Someone behind him pretended: "Lao He, come here, what is this writing" and ripped him apart.

This person surnamed He: "I'm also afraid of making mistakes. ” The person who pulled him away whispered: "What are you really doing with this" He looked left and right, and fell into the ear of this Lord He and said: "To put it bluntly, they are all the women in our long live house, which one he wants to lift, you don't have to worry about it." ” Lord He also said: "After all, she is the queen" The man said, "Yes, yes."

This queen is not a queen, but she is a position, what does it mean in Banzai's heart, you don't count it.

As he spoke, he pointed to the sky, "This is the only thing that is said." ” Master He was so frightened that his tongue was three inches shorter.

When the man saw that Master He didn't say anything, he thought he understood, patted him on the shoulder and left.

Lord He stood in the middle of the room with a fold, and he was a little stupid.

In Yikun Palace, children are looking around a one-foot-square box.

There are two big white silkworms lying on the mulberry leaves in the box, lying on the mulberry leaves and gnawing on the mulberry leaves.

The silkworm mothers selected by the first silkworm ceremony were also sent to the palace for the masters in the palace to take a look.

Li Wei took the opportunity to ask for a few to raise for the children to play, she remembered that she also raised silkworms when she was a child, and silkworm sellers blocked the school gate of the primary school every day.

Raising silkworms is not a hassle, just take a shoe box, buy a handful of mulberry leaves and put it in the shoe box, and leave it alone.

Li Wei remembered that once she forgot about the silkworm, and when she remembered it, she took it out and found that there were really two silkworm cocoons inside, which were white and fat.

She also cherished a delicate glass bottle to put them.

Hongyu and they just want to see, at this point, girls are closer to silkworms, and Erhe plans to put silkworms in her house to raise.

It may be that the division of labor between men and women is more pronounced in this era.

The words and deeds of the fourth master also played a great role.

When the girls were planting, they were bringing tea, and all the boys were in the fields.

In the evening, the fourth master also saw a few chubby silkworm babies in the box and gnawing mulberry leaves in the heart cultivation hall.

"If you want to raise it, then raise more, these few are not enough to even weave handkerchiefs."

He said, but after finishing speaking, he remembered that Su Zhi was more about raising and playing, so he changed his words: "But it's also fun to raise it like this." ” Li Wei thought that the fourth master was really a pragmatist.

The fourth master requires that there must be a result in everything, and no result is a waste of time.

His impatience became even more pronounced after he became emperor, and his patience became less.

The silkworm box was left in the east five rooms, and the fourth master also specially pointed out someone to take care of this box of silkworms.

What Li Wei didn't expect was that it was Zhang Desheng who came over to do this.

Seeing that he nodded and said that he must take good care of the silkworms, she said jokingly: "Why did you come to your master to call you like this, isn't it a big talent?"

Zhang Desheng seemed to be half shorter, bowed his waist and said: "It is the honor of a slave to be able to run errands for your master, and it is the ancestor of the slave who accumulates virtue, and the slave is eager to do it." ” Then every day, when I saw Li Wei, I came to ask your lord if you wanted to see the silkworm, and then he said that the silkworm had eaten a few mulberry leaves today, and he washed the leaves and wiped the water to the slightest before he dared to feed the silkworm, because he was afraid that the silkworm would eat and diarrhea.

Also, he has to clean the silkworm box every day to keep the silkworms clean.

Li Wei sat and listened to him, and then encouraged him a few more words, praising him as much as possible.

She treated talking to Zhang Desheng as a business matter, and she was looking at Su Peisheng's face.

Since Gonggong Su tried every means to push Zhang Desheng in front of her, she couldn't dismantle Su Peisheng's platform.

After Zhang Desheng left, the jade bottle laughed quietly: "I heard that in order to compete for this errand of raising silkworms, Zhang Desheng has spent a lot of effort." ” Li Wei felt strange: "Why is he so hard, relying on his master, there is no good errand" and he had to turn a corner from her The jade bottle quietly explained to her: "The slave maid heard Zhao Quanbao say that if Zhang Desheng follows his master, he won't have to come out in this life."

Don't say that we can't eat his master's set, and are willing to use their two masters and apprentices, let's just say that his master will not put this apprentice on top to grab his own job. ” Li Wei suddenly realized, the jade bottle: "If Su Peisheng didn't have three heads and six arms, he wouldn't have been able to live long live, and now he looked at Wang Chaoqing and their two brothers, and Zhao Quanbao said that they were all quenched poison."

Not to mention that he is an apprentice, even Su Peisheng's own son, he will not let him come out. ” Li Wei shook her head, even if there were a few eunuchs around these four masters, it was about to become a house fight.

After two days, the auspicious day of the silkworm ceremony was chosen, and the rehearsal began in the harem.

Li Wei also came here with two grandmothers from the Internal Affairs Office, explaining the process to her and guiding her what to do when the time comes.

After practicing in his own palace, he had to go to Kunning Palace for on-the-spot rehearsals.

The Empress Dowager did not come in person, but asked Concubine Xuan to come over as a stand-in.

Concubine Xuan, as the stand-in for the Empress Dowager, had to stand at the front, and before the rehearsal began, she also came over to apologize to the Empress Dowager, the Empress and Li Wei.

Of course, everyone said that it didn't matter, and the Queen Mother also pulled Concubine Xuan to sit down and talk.

Compared with before, the current East Sixth Palace is based on the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's life is becoming more and more comfortable and happy, and people are becoming more and more relaxed.

When people have confidence, they can be tolerant and gentle.

Li Wei looked at the Queen Mother and Concubine Xuan on the side, and felt that the Queen Mother had really become the Queen Mother, and she was completely different from the Concubine Yonghe Palace in her previous impression.

When it came time to stand, when Mama led her behind the queen, she unconsciously took a step back.

I was so close to the queen that I felt like I would bump into each other when I saluted.

As she stepped back, the queen with her back to her seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to be less tense.

After a while, the ceremony is over.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, when the fourth master heard Su Peisheng's relay, he said, "The concubine took a step back."

Su Peisheng said: "Yes, Mama led your master to stand up, and your master took a step back. ” The fourth master nodded and didn't say anything.

When he returned to the East Fifth Room in the evening, Su Su was looking at the silkworm box under the lamp, and when he saw him, he beckoned and whispered, "You come and see." ” The fourth master walked over lightly, and saw that almost all the silkworms in the box were like a veil on their bodies, and they were spinning silk and forming cocoons.

Li Wei had a feeling of nostalgia and sighed: "The spring silkworm is dead."

"Thank you for the Chinese lessons in the primary school.

The fourth master touched her shoulder and shook his head and said, "What's so sad about this kind of poem." ” Li Wei looked up in confusion, a little sad, but this poem was originally lyrical, and it wasn't too sad, isn't the fourth master a little too sensitive He sat down and put his arm around her and said, "I'll tell you about it."

He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Spring silkworms should not be old, and they are always pregnant with silk day and night.

What a pity to exhaust the body, lingering from time to time. ” When he reached the last two sentences, he looked into her eyes as if he wanted to suck her in.

"Is it good?"

he asked her with a smile.

"Okay."

Li Wei was stunned for a moment before replying.

He hugged her tighter and smiled, "I also think Su Su is good." ”34:
