Qing Dynasty: I Rely on Games To Fight For Favor

Speaking of Jiangning Weaving Mansion, one has to talk about the Cao family who is in charge of the Weaving Mansion.

In the Qing Dynasty, Jiangnan mostly used textiles as an industry, earning 90 million taels per year, while the annual income of the entire Qing Dynasty was only 12 million taels. It can be seen that the wealthy here and the prominence of the Cao family.

This time, in order to welcome the driver, the Cao family specially repaired their own garden and used it as the residence of the emperor.

Xia Mian has seen some "Dream of Red Mansions", and many people say that it was written based on the Cao family. This time she moved into Cao’s garden, Xia Mian also looked around. Of course, she might have come too early. I didn't see anything like "Daoxiang Village" or "Loot Root Pavilion", so I had to give up.

Settle in, just wait for the evening dinner, this dinner, mainly the group of them. Some officials in Jiangnan would retreat after welcoming them. After all, they were not qualified enough to have dinner with the emperor.

But no matter how she appeared in front of outsiders, Xia Mian started dressing up since Shenshi, so she must not be ashamed of the boss.

Concubine Yi, An Bi and Wen Gui are similar.

That night, Concubine Yi took the lead, and the four followed the boss and several elder brothers slowly.

Concubine Yi wore an orange-red flag outfit tonight, which looked so glamorous. Xia Mian wore a new dress made of the piece of fabric that Liang promised to give her. Not at all compared to Concubine Yi.

With them by, An Bi and Wen Gui also looked so good.

The officials below knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up, but they also sighed at the beauty of the imperial concubine.

The banquet started very quickly, and of course singing and dancing were indispensable.

The songs and dances in Jiangnan have a soft-spoken feeling of Wu Nong, which is completely different from the ones in Beijing, and Xia Mian is full of interest to watch.

On the opposite side, several elder brothers also kept their eyes fixed. This was the first time they saw this kind of song and dance. The soft Jiangnan girl, like a gust of wind, blew into their eyes and hearts.

Kangxi was also watching, but his eyes were lowered, he was watching their feet.

Xia Mian found out that she wanted to laugh. She felt that if she didn't know, looking at the emperor like this, she probably thought that the emperor liked women's feet very much, and the wise boss of the big boss would be tired!

After two or three songs and dances, the warm-up ended, and the scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone was surprised. They only listened to Huan Peiying, and a pair of jade men appeared outside. This is a pair of twins. How do you describe them? They look delicate and weak, but have affection in their eyes. From the hair to each nail, they are delicate and abnormal, as if they were born to be painful and loving.

This is definitely a stunner that is hard to find between two people!

The court was still quiet, Concubine Yi, An Bi and Wen Gui raised their eyebrows. They were both women, and they felt that they had been provoked and suppressed. They have never seen such a woman.

Opposite, the eldest brother was drinking tea, but when he saw the sisters, the tea froze in the air.

Yinfeng also watched it for two seconds, but he still didn't know about personnel, just pure appreciation, and soon returned to normal.

Third elder brother shook his head and chanted a poem that he didn't know.

Si elder brother continued to collapse, but couldn't see anything.

Five elder brothers, five elder brothers are still young, only food is in their eyes.

Mama Feng was watching from a distance at this time. The girls, look, walk from here to the temple. As long as they are male on the side of the road, even the dog has to stop and look at them more. Some of them even forget about it. She didn't believe that the emperor didn't like them.

She has already begun to dream of her future rich life.

Kangxi had never seen such a woman, but his attention was still on their feet, so they were destined to be tragedy here.

The two girls are famous for their small feet, and I am afraid that they will lose on these feet one day.

Then the two girls performed the music of Qin Se and Ming, which really went around the beam for three days, but it was a pity that it was completely useless.

The two girls glanced at each other and didn't understand what went wrong. They used to be all right.

But this temple did not give them time to think, and soon they retreated.

Concubine Yi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces again. They were really afraid that the emperor would be hooked by the pair of fairies. The Queen Mother can't spare them either.

It's the eldest brother who looks at their backs and feels unconscious.

There were some tricks after the dinner, but compared to the sisters, it was calm.

After the banquet, Mama Feng was so angry that she was half dead. How could it be possible that the emperor didn't like her two daughters.

The two girls have been trained since they were young. At this moment, the crying pear flower brings rain, which is extremely affectionate.

"In front of my elder mother, don't do that." Mama Feng scolded.

The two girls stopped crying immediately and moved freely.

What should we do now? The emperor didn't want it, it was spread out, these two girls would have their worth plummeting, Mama Feng gritted her teeth angrily.

At this time, a little **** came over and explained his identity arrogantly.

Mama Feng immediately lost her eyes with a smile.

Concubine Hui is going to be **** off!

Not to mention how Concubine Hui could not be prevented, the son couldn't help but the big boss was still struggling with his feet. He paid attention to the people around him and found that they were all small feet, completely different from those in the palace, which made him very uncomfortable.

In fact, if he hadn't seen such a pair of feet, he wouldn't care so much. Now it's no longer possible. He always wants to see whether it is small or big. When he sees all the small feet, the more he sees it, the more he responds.

"Why is Jiangnan foot-binding wind so prevalent?" He looked at Xia Mian's feet and found it very good.

Xia Mian bends her eyes to look at him, how does this make her answer. Of course it's because men like it, although she doesn't understand why men like it. For example, if you interrupt your hands and wrap your feet in a deformity, will men still feel beautiful? I'm afraid that I'm going to dislike the madness, but if they change their feet, they can do it again. Do they like the taste?

She has also seen some analysis of women’s feet binding before. One probably said that the place of a woman who is binding her feet will become tight because she is unstable. Others say that it’s because the man’s desire for control is satisfied. After all, it’s interrupted. Your feet, if you can't even walk well, of course you won't run away.

In the Qing Dynasty, foot binding was especially popular, and another meaning was added. The Qing army entered the customs and asked men to shave their heads and women to let their feet go. The Han people in the south of the Yangtze River, men could not resist, so they shaved their heads.

After all, women's feet are hidden at home, just like their thoughts are hidden in their hearts, it is hard to find out.

For these two reasons, does she dare to tell the boss? In the first one, she said that the big boss might be crazy for her, and the second, after she finished speaking, the big boss might be crazy, maybe she would have to keep his feet and legs!

By the time the bound feet may be gone, but the blood is flowing, and the innocent women who are still dead are all innocent women. Xia Mian realized that she could not bear the result.

"It may be a rich man in Jiangnan. Women don't need to work, so they bind their feet." Xia Mian said vaguely.

Kangxi thought about it, and it made sense. Look, they are Manchu women too. Only women with status wear flowerpot bottoms because they don't have to work.

But thinking about it this way, he frowned even more, Jiangnan's arrogance and extravagance came to this! In his Qing Dynasty, there are still many places that are barren, such as Heilongjiang.

The next day, the Cao family arranged a program, and Kangxi came to visit Tiger Hill and climbed to the Long Live Tower.

At this moment, it happened that the chrysanthemums were in full bloom. Standing upstairs at Long Live, all the golden chrysanthemums looked at him, just like the majesty of Long Live Lord.

And downstairs, some old veterans from the south of the Yangtze River, celebrities, and common people were waiting to see Kangxi.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" These people bowed together, sang the sky in their mouths, accompanied by the boundless golden chrysanthemum, the momentum was huge and shocking.

Sure enough, it was the Long Live Building. Kangxi listened to that voice and looked at the flourishing scene below with a smile on his face.

He was happy, and of course the people who were waiting behind were also happy.

Afterwards, Kangxi rewarded him with a handful of rice, "May the people have food to eat."

The bottom shouted long live, Huang'en mighty, and then please.

This time, he took a blessed orange, "May the people be blessed."

Bow down again, one wave after another.

What a wonderful scene, the monarchs and the people are in harmony, and everyone is happy.

But at this moment, a person suddenly stood up and said loudly, "The emperor, the people are very difficult, please exempt from the Songjiang Mansion."

After a word, everyone was stunned, this is not in today's process!

Looking intently again, the man had white temples, but he was a group of righteousness. It was not Yu Jackie, the governor of Songjiang Prefecture or someone else.

Many people have crooked noses. Yu Jackie is too good at finding time. Everyone has a good atmosphere. He comes out and picks up ready-made ones?

At this time, when he said such things, the emperor gave a reward of grace, and of course he had to agree.

But in the whole Jiangnan, the people in Songjiang Mansion are hard, aren't the people in other places hard?

You are the governor of Songjiang Mansion. It is good for the people to benefit, but you can't step on everyone!

Yu Chenglong didn't seem to feel everyone's eyes, and he still stood there and waited. Jiangnan is rich, but are not the rich and powerful merchants? In the past few years, the imperial court withdrew from the San Francisco and closed Taiwan-Bay for years of battles. The people came out of people and money for military service. It hasn't been slowed down yet. Now the river is being repaired and the people have to work hard. It's not painful.

As the governor of Songjiang Prefecture, he looked at the difficulties of the people in his jurisdiction, so he naturally wanted to find a way to make them feel better.

As for others... these face-saving projects are not needed in the first place, and they are costly and laborious. Using these face-saving projects to help the people a little bit of welfare, he doesn't think there is any problem.

Kangxi knew that Yu Chenglong was an upright official, and he admired him very much. He stood up and made this request at this time, and he would have no problem agreeing to him.

But yesterday's "rich in Jiangnan" matter was still in his throat. Today, he jumped out and said that the people in Jiangnan are suffering?

Suffering, a woman still binds her feet and doesn't work? But it's not only the rich family, but also the poor family!

"Huh!" Kangxi angrily went downstairs and returned to his residence.

The emperor was angry, and the blood was drifting. Everyone panicked. What should be done and what should be done?

Some were glaring at Jackie Chan, some chasing the emperor, and the chrysanthemum was so good that no one appreciated it in an instant.

Kangxi returned to the garden, and Xia Mian was in the garden enjoying the flowers, and the two met.

"Concubine please greet the emperor, and the emperor will be happy." She saluted.

Kangxi waved his hand and went straight into the pavilion next to him and sat down.

Xia Mian saw that there was something wrong with the big boss, and there were exclamation points on his head.

Clicking on the exclamation mark to check, she was surprised that the big boss really moved the idea of ​​abolishing the foot binding.

Kangxi didn't want to abolish the feet binding, he still believes in Yu Chenglong, Jiang Nan is not as rich as Xia Mian said, why is the woman binding feet? The second argument Xia Mian thought about, he also thought about some, but he didn't want to pursue it any more, he just wanted to get more severe punishment.

Looking at it now, it still needs to be abolished.

But it's really hard! In fact, Shizu also issued strict orders not to allow women to bind their feet, and offenders rode twenty, and father and brother were exiled.

Is this punishment severe enough? It's useless at all.

After he became the throne, he added a strict order and changed it to 40 sticks.

There are too many people bound to the law, and the law does not blame the public, and some people use this decree to frame each other, and there are many injustices.

Now that the past few years have passed, and the wind of binding his feet has become heavier, if he restarts this decree, will it be useful?

If it doesn't work, how will it end?

Whether he used severe punishment, blood flowed into rivers, or the decree was unreasonable and ended dismal as last time, this was not the result he wanted.

If only this bad habit can be abolished smoothly.

This is the task above him.

With this task, Xia Mian's eyes rolled, and she had an idea.
