Chapter 290: Climbing Relatives (2nd Watch)
Concubine Yi and Guo Xing'a both belong to the Yehenala clan, and they are indeed the first suspects of Guo Xing'a's relatives, but Guo Xing'a has just deliberately avoided her. After all, the name of the Empress Dowager Cixi is too hard, and Guoxing Ah doesn't want to have such a face-showing relative. Although Xianfeng has clearly pointed it out, Guo Xing'a still wants to say that you recognized the wrong person. Guo Xing'a still had a plan to kill Cixi when he was in Beijing, but now Cixi has suddenly become his sister, this change is a bit big, and he needs some time to digest it.
"Concubine Yi is also from your Yehenara clan, her Ama Huizheng and your Ama Huiyang are brothers of the same generation, you should call her the eldest sister according to your age." Xianfeng saw Guo Xing'a's bewilderment, and helped Guo Xing'a to give it a look.
Yehnara · Hui Zheng and Yehnara · Hui Yang did sound like a brother of the same generation, but Xianfeng's statement was complete nonsense. Cixi and their family don't know if they have typesetting Guo Xing'a, but the names of their families are all given casually depending on their mood, and Guo Xing'a's generation is an old name in Manchu. Hui Yang's name and Cixi's father's name are the same word, which is completely a coincidence, and it is not the result of the typesetting of the big family at all. The offense in the name of the big family is the business of the educated people of the Han nationality, and the ancestors of the Guoxing family know few words, where do they understand this. Even the Manchu royal family only began to commit characters from the Yongzheng generation, and it was limited to the close royal family. Like Su Shun and Duanhua are the same generation as Xianfeng, their names do not have the same words, and Duanhua and Su Shun are brothers in the same family, and their names do not have the same words. Just because there are the same words in the name, it is complete nonsense to say that Hui Yang and Hui Zheng are brothers of the same generation.
Originally, Xianfeng didn't want to work so hard, the Yehenara clan has a genealogy, and it is arranged in a row according to the genealogy. In the third year of Daoguang, the fourteenth-generation great-great-grandson of the Yehenala clan, the descendant of the Zhenggen of the Yehenala clan, compiled the "Eight Banners Genealogy of the Yehenalan Clan". However, this genealogy is a bit incomplete, many celebrities of the Yehnara clan are not included in the genealogy, and the ancestors of Cixi and Guoxing Ade are not recorded. The reason why there are so many fewer people is that these celebrities and Eteng are not relatives of the same tribe, because of the long years of oblivion, the tribe is complicated, and the compiler has "not known which prince's heir", so he has not been included in the genealogy, and Cixi belongs to this kind. The other is that it is not of the same clan as the Eteng tribe at all, but is from Yeh and surnamed Nala, and Goxinga is likely to be this one. Because the Guoxing family is the leader of the world, although it was sent to the remote Gu'an to make a living, the status of the leader of the world is prominent, and it has been handed down from the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Such a court will not be omitted, it can only be from the same surname township, but not the same clan, so it is not included in the family tree.
In order to set up this relationship, Xianfeng also deliberately asked Su Shun to check the family tree of Guoxing'a, as well as the imperial court's records of the Guoxing'a family, but it turned out to be a big hole. The genealogy of Guoxing'a is from the first year of Shunzhi, and there is no record before, and the genealogy is a widow with an orphan, who does not even have a name, let alone find anything. The official records of the imperial court for their family began with the widow's son being given the title of world steward, and as for why he was entitled, and who his ancestors were, there was not a word of it. Xianfeng, who has no basis and must be a relative of Guoxing A, can only be stubborn, anyway, he is the emperor, and no one dares to say that he is talking nonsense.
"Slaves don't dare to climb high!" Guo Xing'a has been planning how to kill Cixi, and now let him worship his sister, he can't accept it. Anyway, Xianfeng has no basis, and Guo Xing'a will bite to death and deny it. Otherwise, if the relationship is made public in the future, Guoxing Ake will not be able to attack Cixi. The younger brother killed the sister, even if it was just a clansman, it was enough to make Guo Xing'a fall into the notoriety of being unjust.
"Fifth brother, don't have doubts, my great-grandfather Jilang Ah Gong's Marfa is the nephew of the old grandmother of your mansion, and the first generation of Gu'an Zuoling is an uncle and brother, we are real blood relatives!" Concubine Yi also saw Guo Xing'a's hesitation, and thought that Guo Xing'a was really panicked, so she hurriedly spoke out to appease.
When Sai Shanga popularized the family knowledge to Guo Xing'a, he introduced him to the grandmother of Gu'an, who was the leader of Gu'an in the early years of Shunzhi, and Guo Xing'a knew that it was an ancestor who was six generations higher than him in blood. Concubine Yi also understood what Guoxing'a said, Marfa is the meaning of Manchu grandfather, that is to say, the grandfather of Grandpa Cixi and the six ancestors of Guoxing'a are brothers. The events of the Huang Taiji period are not recorded, who knows if it is. Xianfeng and Yi Guifei were both determined, and Guo Xing'a couldn't refuse anymore, but Guo Xing'a couldn't accept Yi's blood relatives' statement. The blood relationship between Guo Xing'a and Concubine Yi can be traced back to seven generations ago, which is too far, and it is not much worse than the poor flag Ding Alin'a that Guo Xing'a captured in the Old Summer Palace.
"Guo Xing's greetings to the eldest sister!" Guo Xing'a, who was helpless, could only get up and salute Concubine Yi and recognize this notorious sister.
"Old Five! Hurry up! What is polite to your family, it has just been frozen, eat something to warm up first! Xianfeng took out his brother-in-law's panache.
"Huh! Thank you, master! Guo Xing'a thanked Xianfeng again, and then returned to his seat with a smile and a smile.
As the saying goes, there are many people who are popular, and Guo Xinga never thought that his rights and wrongs could be so much. When he was in Beijing, he planned well, as long as Xianfeng took a breath, he immediately supported Dai Yixin to get up, kill Su Shun, and kill Cixi. As a result, after a walk around Chengde, Su Shun became the sixth cousin who had been taking care of himself, Cixi became the sister of the blood cousin, and Xianfeng, the aggrieved son of heaven, became a cheap brother-in-law, what is this called!
Guo Xing'a finally understood why everyone said that Xianfeng was not as good as Yixin. Yixin attracts people, all of them are given with real money, they want money to give money, and they want power to give power. Xianfeng is a dead man, he can't bear the money and power, so he will try his best to pull relatives. This distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor! Hard-dragged relatives, only afraid that there will be less affection, how can there be real money.
Complaining is complaining, this relative has to be recognized, and the imperial meal has to be eaten. However, there are also benefits to recognizing relatives, Guo Xing'a can give gifts to his cousin, and he can also take a look at Xianfeng's concubine, the notorious Empress Dowager Cixi in history. The photos of Cixi's later years, Guo Xing'a has seen countless times, and this time he met a real person, of course, he took a closer look. The eyebrows and eyes are vaguely the same as in the photo, but the eyebrows are thicker and the eyes are bigger.
In general, Concubine Yi is a Manchu face that has become accurate, and the whole face is a word length. He has a long and thin face, a slender nose, slender eyes, and thin lips. However, the twenty-six-year-old Concubine Yi is much better looking than the seventy-year-old Empress Dowager Cixi, her skin is delicate and white, and she feels close to her when she looks at it. Objectively speaking, Concubine Yi is a medium beauty, not particularly amazing, but it is very comfortable to watch. In the Qing Palace, which relies on holding an ugly contest to pick people, it is definitely a beautiful scenery, and it is no wonder that Xianfeng likes her. Whether people are beautiful or not depends on the comparison, Cixi and Tianni sisters are definitely ordinary people. But if she stands with the ugly palace maids in the Qing Palace, Concubine Yi is Xi Shi.
After the etiquette, he began to serve the food. Xianfeng said that it was a family banquet, and the food was affordable and delicious, all of which were made by Yi Guifei's small kitchen, but it was not the appearance of the imperial dining room being warmed on the fire for a long time. The dishes are also served one by one, and they are eaten and cooked, so as not to lose the pot gas and take away the taste. At one time, a dish was divided into three parts, and Xianfeng was placed in front of him, followed by Yi Guifei and Guo Xing'a.
"The fifth child has made contributions to the country, and he has worked hard in a hundred battles, this cup, I respect you, and I want to thank you!" The dishes on the table were almost served, and Xianfeng raised his wine glass to Guo Xing'a first.
"It is the duty of the slave to fight for the master, and dying in front of the master's horse is the family motto passed down from generation to generation by the slave's family, how can the slave be worthy of the master!" This kind of pretending to be obedient performance routine, Pi Runmin has long taught Guo Xing'a, so Guo Xing'a kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly is also very real.
"Old Five, get up, get up! We are a family, a family eats, you don't always get up to confess, sit down, sit down! "Guoxing's performance, Xianfeng is very satisfied.
"Thank you, master!" Guoxing Ake didn't get up immediately, knelt on the ground and drank the wine, and then slowly got up and returned to his seat.
"Old Five, this scorching deer breast, tender and delicious, you can taste it!" After drinking the wine, it was time to move the chopsticks, and Xianfeng recommended his favorite venison to Guo Xing'a.
After the dish was served, there were eunuchs holding small pieces of silver and poking them around in the dish, and Guo Xing'a was watching it fun. Suddenly, when he heard Xianfeng let him eat, he was not polite, so he picked up the chopsticks and began to hug them. This venison is indeed delicious, and the craftsmanship of the small kitchen is much stronger than that of the imperial kitchen of the Old Summer Palace. The dining utensils in the palace are large and exquisite, but there are not many dishes inside, after all, it is good for nobles to eat one bite of each dish, so the main thing is beauty. Guo Xing's right chopsticks and left hand spoon were cuddled, and a dish was cleaned in three or two bites. The little eunuch who had just stepped forward half a step forward on his side was stunned stupidly, the nobles are all tasting when they eat, this is a pleasure! And the little eunuch had a very disrespectful feeling, when the relatives of the long-lived lord were eating, he seemed to hear the sound of pigs grabbing food.
"Fifth brother, the emperor gives a banquet and rewards the dishes, and there are palace people to serve the dishes." Concubine Yi was frightened by Guo Xing's amazing eating appearance, and when Guo Xing'a was about to lick the plate, she hurriedly reminded her.
"Slaves are guilty, slaves don't know the rules, please forgive your master!" Guo Xing'a hurriedly ran out of his seat, knelt down and pleaded guilty to Xianfeng.
"You go back, you go back! The rules are to mention the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, not to restrain the feelings of relatives, today we are a family banquet, only about the feelings of relatives, you don't have to care about these false gifts. When Guo Xing'a moved his chopsticks, Xianfeng's face sank, because Guo Xing'a not only messed up the rules, but also grabbed the chopsticks in front of him, which was a contempt for him. However, looking at Guo Xing'a's eating appearance, Xianfeng was quickly relieved, Guo Xing'a was not disrespectful to the king, he was a hillbilly. Thinking of the allusion between Guo Xing'a and the swallow wing seat, the corners of Xianfeng's mouth also showed a smile.
"There is Father-in-law Lao!" Guo Xing'a returned to his seat again, smiled awkwardly at the eunuch beside him, and then waited for him to pick up vegetables for himself. Facing Guo Xing's smile, this little eunuch was even more embarrassed, the plate in front of Guo Xing'a was empty, and it was cleaner than a dog licking, Guo Xing'a even ate the lettuce leaves at the bottom of the plate, what did he clip!
Fortunately, the imperial cuisine was rich in dishes, and after a while, a large number of dishes were served. Guo Xing'a didn't move this time, but looked at the little eunuch with blank eyes, like a good baby waiting to feed, the little eunuch was furious by him, and hurriedly picked the core of the dish and gave it to Guo Xing'a.
Guo Xing'a didn't use the spoon this time, he directly picked up the bowl and pulled it into his mouth. Whether it is bird's nest, shark fin and duck leg, or sea cucumber and abalone with shiitake mushrooms, in short, it is a Yangtze River flowing water. The little eunuch who served him was unlucky, his hands were shaking, and his sweat was coming down. Guoxing's food is extremely fast, and there is no grace of a nobleman at all, it is simply a hungry dog grabbing food. As soon as the dish on his side left the chopsticks, the bowl over there was handed over, and the eunuch couldn't let the nobles wait, but he really didn't have the speed of Guoxing'a, so he couldn't keep up.
"Ruyi, you go and help!" Guoxing's way of eating majestic mountains and rivers, Xianfeng was shocked, and saw that the little eunuch couldn't stand it, so he sent his personal eunuch Liu Ruyi to help.
Liu Ruyi is a person who serves Xianfeng, and he almost doesn't work on weekdays. Serving Guo Xing'a to eat, he was not confident, and he brought a little eunuch before he dared to go into battle. The three of them are also in a hurry to supply Guoxing'a, this master is not a mouth, it is simply a bucket, and the dishes are not eaten, so pour them directly into it! Guo Xing'a was high for a while, and suddenly found Liu Ruyi, who was busy serving vegetables for himself, looked in the direction of Xianfeng again, hurriedly abandoned the chopsticks, and came out to kneel again.
"Slaves are guilty!" Guo Xing'a looked sincerely frightened and asked Xianfeng for guilt.
"Eat well, what's wrong!" Xianfeng was a little surprised.
"This father-in-law is the one who serves the master, how can the slave be worthy of him picking vegetables for the slave, the slave is guilty, and the slave is guilty!" Guo Xing'a didn't know Liu Ruyi either, but he also knew that he was not an ordinary soldier by looking at the clothes. This Pi Runmin didn't teach him either, but Guo Xing'a understood the essence of Heshen, in short, the emperor's things and people couldn't be moved.
"I see that you eat deliciously, a minion can't be busy, so I asked Ruyi to come over to help, don't be polite!" Xianfeng watched Guo Xing'a eat, and saw that he was hungry, and it was the time to be happy.
"This father-in-law is the one who serves the Lord of Long Live Lord, how can he be compared to ordinary people, the slave asks him to serve, this is to lose his life, and the slave can't afford it!" Goxinga squeezed tears hard. Liu Ruyi moved his hands a little sour on the side, and he was very comfortable listening to Guo Xing's words, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
"You can eat and drink in peace!" Xianfeng was very useful, but he didn't care.
"The minions don't dare!" Guoxing Ah kowtowed repeatedly, firstly, to show his fear, and on the other hand, he also wanted to throw some tears out.
"Your Majesty, the fifth brother doesn't dare to trespass, don't bother Ruyi's father-in-law, let Xiao Anzi serve the fifth brother!" Concubine Yi admires Guo Xinga very much.
"It's okay, don't be polite anymore, go on, I like to watch you eat!" Xianfeng waved his hand and motioned for Guo Xing'a to return to his seat.
"Servant An Dehai serves the general!" A young eunuch beside Concubine Yi came to Guoxing's table.
"Anderhai?" Guo Xing looked at the good-looking young eunuch beside him in surprise.
