Chapter 133 Tongjia Namuchok
……
Without anyone to spoil the fun, the ladies chatted until sunset, and after tasting the game brought in from the front, they exchanged handkerchiefs and said goodbye.
After leaving, Tonggya Namuchok, who was walking with her, said to her sister Tonggya Nerji,
"This Dong E Gege is extraordinary."
Namuchok is already fifteen years old this year. His family has given him special education, and he is much more intelligent than Nergi, who is only twelve years old.
"Why do you say that, sister? Is she so cute?"
Namuchok looked at this free-growing, innocent little sister and shook his head.
"You...be more careful next time.
Did you see those jewels on her head?"
Nergy recalled and said, "You mean those beautiful ruby hairpins? I definitely saw them!"
Namuchuoko preached.
"When she turned her head, I saw the emblem of the Ministry of Internal Affairs engraved on the side of the hairpin."
After hearing this, Nergi realized the extraordinary nature of this hairpin.
She covered her mouth and widened her eyes, "Ah?! Was it given by Concubine Ning Que?"
The Dong'e Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion are on good terms, and they are from the same Dong'e clan as Concubine Ning Que, and they have contacts with each other. This has been no secret in recent years.
There are many relatives among the Eight Banners, but Dong E's mansion was able to gain the favor of Concubine Ning Que who entered the palace, which shows that he is capable.
After all, this is equivalent to adding another bridge to communicate with the palace.
For example, the Tongjia Mansion is now close to the royal family. Apart from relying on Tong Guowei of the previous dynasty to keep up appearances, the wives and relatives of their branch enter the palace under the pretext of meeting the Imperial Noble Consort to increase their bargaining chips.
In her early years, Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia had never been pregnant. Since her miscarriage last year, her family has focused more on the training of Namuchoke.
Therefore, Namuchoke's vision, character, and even the way and ideas of looking at problems are far from comparable to those of Nerji, who was just an ordinary concubine's daughter who was raised by a princess and only occasionally went to her stepmother Hesheli to receive instructions.
All the children in the family are the children of the stepmother. Namuchokko has never forgotten her biological mother, nor has she forgotten her identity.
She wanted to help her illegitimate sister.
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer; this is what a family is.
Her thoughts were completely on a different level from those concubines and ladies who always talked about competing for favor, marrying up, and getting married in front of their daughters all day long.
So, she couldn't help but say more to Nergi.
“I’m afraid it’s more than that. I see that the quality of the ruby is very good. It must be a big shot of higher status who can afford such a thing.
You have to know that the things made by the Imperial Household Department are also divided into different grades.
The rewards we get from the Imperial Concubine are occasionally of inferior quality, and the high-quality ones are even rarer and more precious. Only my mother can get the best stuff.
But it is no exaggeration to say that Princess Dong'e's hairpin is of top quality."
The ruby is crystal clear, and the color naturally increases from the inside to the outside. Not only is the carving technique lifelike, but even the bright yellow stamens are clearly visible.
In addition to the gilding, outlining, coloring and shaping, it is difficult for non-masters to produce such high-quality works.
more importantly.
Those are a few poppies.
If you want to know Dong'e Gege's maiden name, it is not a secret. After all, they are all female members of the family.
Hezhun Yierha means exactly the poppy flower.
Therefore, this hairpin was not only a reward from a more noble master, but also was specially purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the purpose of rewarding and approving Yierha.
Thinking of this, Namuchok couldn't help but ask Nergi again,
"If you were to receive a reward from the Queen Mother or the Grand Empress Dowager one day, what would you do?"
Nergi was at the age of dreaming, so after thinking about it for a while, he answered very honestly,
"I will definitely hold a few banquets to let all the famous ladies in the capital know and take a good look at the things that the Queen Mother personally gave me!"
Hearing his sister's "normal" response, Namuchokko felt a little melancholy.
"Yes... But Dong'e Gege, do you think she has any intention of showing off?"
Not to mention who gave it as a reward, she even had to be extremely meticulous to figure out the source.
"Either he's used to it, or he has a superior character at such a young age.
Either way, being on good terms with her is good for all of us, especially you."
Nergy was a girl from an aristocratic family after all. She had a simple mind and had developed a brain through the influence of her surroundings. She asked,
"Where are you, sister?"
"My life's path has already been decided. Being on good terms with that Dong'e Gege is a bonus, and being on bad terms with her doesn't really matter.
But you are different. In my opinion, Dong E’s house is indeed a good place.”
Fu Cha's reputation for virtue was well known, and now that he had come into contact with her legitimate daughter, he felt that she had been well educated.
Unlike the Guwalgiya clan, which was completely inherited by the Han people in Jiangnan, the Dong'e clan was a Manchu.
She has a slightly spoiled personality, but she is a real lady after all. She doesn't need to know how to give in. She stands tall and has the confidence.
She was very optimistic about the future of Dong E Gege. She would not enter the emperor's harem, but she would definitely be the prince's consort.
Besides this, it seems that another reason to show Nergi a way is,
"Recently, when I was serving my mother, I accidentally eavesdropped on her conversation and heard that my father and mother kept mentioning Dong E."
"Oh? But is there any fresh gossip?"
"Do you still remember Long Keduo's family affairs a few days ago?"
Although Longkodo was much older than them, they were of the same generation, so there was nothing wrong with calling him by his name.
"Hiss——But my mother ordered us all to keep our mouths shut about the matter of 'Li Si'er'?"
"Yes, it seems that Dong E's handiwork is involved."
"Um???"
“I only heard some of it vaguely, and I don’t understand its meaning, and it’s more likely that I have distorted it a bit.
But something big must be about to happen, and Dong E warned us Tong Jia in advance out of goodwill, otherwise Ama might not have intervened to deal with his beloved son. "
"Tsk, Longkodo is always so arrogant, it's annoying to look at him, it would be better if he is finished."
Nergy really disliked her so-called third brother. If she didn't say something bad about him when she got the chance, she might be so upset that she couldn't sleep that night.
But Namuchokko just glanced at him without saying anything.
"If this is really a big event that can make my father tremble with fear, we, the Tonggiya clan, will rise and fall together. If Longkodo is finished, we will not have an easy life either.
Even if our Tong family has had a queen and a concubine, even if our Tong family has power all over the world, we are still just ministers after all."
