The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

After traveling through so many years, Qiqige's memory of her previous life has been blurred.She vaguely remembered that in the late Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had serious corruption, and the eunuch told the emperor that an egg would cost one tael of silver.The emperor believed it, and felt that the eggs were too expensive, so he dared not eat them.

Qiqige knew that the House of Internal Affairs was not clean, but she did not expect that the eggs in the House of Internal Affairs had risen to six renminbi.

But... this matter sounded a little believable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not quite right.

The rice, flour, grain and oil in the palace are not bought from outside, but from Huangzhuang scattered all over the country.There is a Huangzhuang that specializes in growing rice, and a Huangzhuang that specializes in raising cattle and sheep. Eggs are also sent to the palace from the village, and there is no need to buy them at all.

Since there is no need to buy, there is no need to give money. How do the two princesses know that eggs cost six coins?

Qiqige asked the two princesses how they knew how much the eggs cost.

The eldest princess said: "I bought a little eunuch, and his godfather is the general manager in charge of purchasing. I asked him to steal the account book, but he didn't dare. And his godfather hid the account book so tightly that he couldn't steal it at all. He took the risk He secretly read the account book, and then recited it to us page by page. Today is the first time he peeked at the account book, and he said that eggs are six renminbi a piece, and sugar is three renminbi a catty.”

The second princess said proudly: "We are not easy to be fooled. After listening to it, we felt something was wrong. We grow vegetables with you, and we know a little about farming and mulberry. It is not difficult to raise chickens to lay eggs. How can eggs be so good?" expensive!"

Qiqige applauded them, wow!Then you guys are really awesome!There is no one to raise the price of eggs to three renminbi.

The eldest princess said: "An egg costs six renminbi, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be greedy for at least three renminbi. How many masters are there in the palace? How much should the Ministry of Internal Affairs be greedy! Grandmother, the moths in the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be eliminated! Otherwise, our family The inner library will be emptied by moths!"

Qiqige laughed, she felt that the two princesses should have been cheated.

"Eggs are brought in from Huangzhuang, and the bookkeeping can only record how many eggs came in from a certain Huangzhuang on a certain day in a certain year. The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not need to go out to buy them."

The eldest princess and the second princess looked at each other, "Then... this account book?"

Qiqige said: "This account book should be fake. Think about it, the black account you made is related to your own wealth and life. How can the manager of the purchase let his godson know where the black account is hidden? Unless he attaches great importance to this job Son, since you think highly of this son, then they belong to the same group. Since they belong to the same group, why did the godson betray his godfather and join you? In my opinion, this account is a trap set by the manager of purchasing for you. "

The eldest princess didn't believe it, "How dare they set a trap for me? How dare they!"

"After all, you are still young and can't hold your breath. If you catch them, you will definitely report to the emperor in a hurry. After the emperor investigates, this matter is purely false, and you must be blamed for making trouble."

Qiqige shook her head and sighed, "This manager of purchasing doesn't think highly of you! You don't care about making false accounts, showing such a big flaw."

The eldest princess and the second princess were stupefied, especially the eldest princess, "I am so kind to that little eunuch, he actually lied to me!"

Qiqige said: "It's hard to trust a person. You don't have to rush to convict this little eunuch. Those just now are my speculations, and I have to send someone to investigate carefully."

The little eunuch may be facing the eldest princess, or it may be facing his godfather, this has to be investigated again.

But the account books must be fake, six coins and one egg is outrageous.The emperor is not an emperor who doesn't know the world. If the eldest princess and the second princess were in a hurry to complain, the emperor would definitely think they were messing around after hearing it, and dismiss them casually, and might even scold them.

Qiqige praised herself in her heart, but I am different, I am really a good empress dowager who sees every detail!

The eldest princess and the second princess were very disappointed, and their ambition to clean up the House of Internal Affairs was frustrated again.

It is normal for the two princesses to encounter such a situation, and the princes will have the same experience when they enter the court in the future.

Whether it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the court, there is a set of default rules.If the princess and prince don't care about things and are willing to make a display, the people below will definitely support her.

But if the princess and the prince want to challenge the rules, I'm sorry, the people below will try their best to drive you out.As long as they are respectful and reasonable, the emperor can't deal with them.

This time the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were sloppy, they didn't think highly of the two princesses, they were too careless in making fake accounts.Qiqige saw the flaw at a glance.

The matter of fake accounts can be put aside for the time being, Qiqige has to take a look at the prices of the princesses.

An egg for three renminbi is as outrageous as six renminbi.

Qiqige said to the two princesses: "Don't be sad. You will definitely encounter various problems when you first come out to work. You go back and prepare. I will take you out of the palace in the next few days to relax."

The princesses seldom have the chance to go out of the palace. Normally, the two princesses would jump for joy, but now the princesses are not in the mood.

The eldest princess asked Qiqige, "Grandmother, did you also encounter these problems when you took over the palace affairs when you were young?"

Qiqige: When you were young!I'm young too, okay?

Qiqige said casually: "Of course I have never encountered this kind of problem! Back then I was the empress, the master and empress, and the empress dowager supported me. I will teach anyone who dares to disobey me! I don't care who is right or not. Reason, what I say is what it is!"

The second princess: "What about those servants who sued the emperor's grandfather?"

Qiqige rolled her eyes, "I don't compete for favor, so who cares about your grandpa!"

The eldest princess and the second princess were dumbfounded, and the imperial grandmother... was mighty and domineering.

Qiqige's success is not worth learning from. The eldest princess and the second princess returned to their residences to taste the bitter fruit of failure.

After three days, they didn't feel the pain anymore, because Qiqige sent two sets of Beijing Shixin clothes.

Today, Qiqige will take the children to go shopping!

The princesses have never wandered around the capital since they grew up, and they were about to go out. The two princesses were so excited that they didn't know what to do.

They discussed what to bring, a sachet, a handkerchief, and maybe a change of clothes.

The two little sisters had a discussion, Qiqige reminded from the side: "Nothing else is important, just remember to bring money."

The two princesses nodded repeatedly, and they brought all their private houses with them.The reminder from the imperial grandmother was too timely. If you see something good on the street, you can buy it and share it with your brothers and sisters when you return to the palace.

Qiqige straightened her neck and glanced at the purses of the princesses, she nodded secretly.

Enen, very good, I don't need to pay when I go out in a while.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Qiqige and the two princesses went to the gate of the palace in sedan chairs, and then changed to a carriage to go shopping.

As soon as the three of them boarded the carriage, the eldest brother, the second elder brother and the third elder brother came, and they clamored to leave the palace too.

At the beginning, the third elder brother ran into Qi Qige and the two older sisters, and he casually asked where the emperor's grandmother was going.

Qiqige didn't think much, and said that she was going shopping with the two princesses.

Speaking of shopping, the third elder brother has become more energetic. He has grown up so much that he can go out of the palace except for hunting, and stays in the palace at other times, which is too boring.

The third elder brother is a good boy who shows loyalty, so he hurried to inform the two elder brothers.

It’s been a while since the eldest brother found fault and made an appointment to fight. Although the eldest brother felt embarrassed, he still apologized to the second elder brother for his mistake.Even admitting mistakes cannot mend the relationship between the two brothers. The contradiction between the elder brother and the second elder brother already exists, and only the superficial harmony can be maintained.

Originally they only wanted to be plastic brothers, but when they heard that the imperial grandmother took the eldest princess and the second princess out of the palace, the elder brother and the second elder brother immediately put aside their previous suspicions and dragged the third elder brother to the palace gate to block people.

The three elder brothers held on to Qiqige's car window and did not let go. The eldest elder brother shouted: "Don't leave, the imperial grandmother, take us with you! The three of us protect the imperial grandmother and sisters!"

The second elder brother was a little more reserved than the eldest elder brother, "Grandmother, I didn't want to go, but since we have met, let's go together!"

The third elder brother agreed with the two elder brothers, "Yes! Grandmother! We are all here, don't leave us alone!"

Qiqige broke their fingers, trying to pull them down.

"Go back and study! Today is our girl's event, you can't bring boys to play!"

The elder brother thought for a while and said: "The emperor's grandmother's move is inappropriate, you are patriarchal!"

The second elder brother put Qiqige on the line, "Grandmother, you are the empress dowager, you should set an example for all grandmothers in the world. It is not good to favor women over men, and you must be a bowl of water!"

Moral kidnapping is useless to Qiqige, Qiqige smiled and said: "I just want to be a bad example, I just want to favor women over men! What can you do to me? Go back quickly, don't delay me going out to play!"

The third elder brother wailed, "Grandmother, how can you take us out!"

"I won't take you to play, give up!" Qiqige said casually, "Unless you don't want to be my grandson, but be my granddaughter!"

Qiqige called the guards and asked them to take the elder brothers away.

The guards grabbed Elder brother's arm and carried him away.The elder brother and the second elder brother were shameless, and they were not ashamed to struggle, so they planned to give up.Isn't it just going out of the palace?This time the imperial grandmother didn't take them, and next time they asked Huang Ama to take them out, they also didn't bring the imperial grandmother.

The third elder brother was shameless, kicking his legs and crying.He swayed back and forth unknowingly, the guards didn't dare to hug him too tightly for fear of hurting him, and the third elder brother broke free.

The third elder brother broke away from the guard's embrace, and jumped into the carriage with a whoosh.

He changed his face from crying to laughing, "Grandmother, take me with you! I won't be a grandson today, I will be a granddaughter too!"

Qiqige frightened him, "To be a granddaughter, you have to wear women's clothing!"

The third elder brother thought for a while and nodded vigorously. He raised his orchid finger and said to Qi Qige: "Grandmother, bring the women's clothing! My hair can't be styled like my sister's. You'd better give me a wig! "

Qiqige: You entered the role too quickly...
