The "Materia Medica, Bird Division" once said, "CiWu: This bird is born at the beginning, and the mother feeds for sixty days, and the long bird feeds back for sixty days." "It is the story of the crow feeding back, and the relationship between Puyi and Wang Jiaoshi is also like this."
Ai Xinjue Luodian Puyi was the last emperor under the Chinese feudal dynasty, and for this emperor whose life was full of ups and downs and full of legends, his every move has attracted the attention and speculation of many people.
Although he was an emperor, his whole life had nothing to do with power, and when Cixi was not yet dead, Cixi was in power, and then when the great powers of various countries divided and occupied the land of China, he became the puppet emperor of Japan to establish the puppet state of Manchukuo.
It can be said that he carried the name of an emperor all his life, but he never enjoyed the right to dominate everything in the world as an emperor. Standing at the pinnacle of power is nothing more than a target for those behind the scenes.
And Puyi's tragic life was indeed brought to him by this throne, from being selected by Cixi as the new monarch of the Qing Dynasty, to living in the imperial palace to make himself inhumane, to betraying himself because of his beautiful wife, and finally to the prison disaster after the fall of the country, all of which were affected by the identity of the throne.
This made many later generations wonder if he had not been elected emperor by Cixi, but had quietly become the eldest son of Nie Zhengwang Zaifeng and the great-grandson of the Daoguang Emperor, then his life would have become different, he would not have experienced so many disasters, and his ordinary life was sometimes much better than a tortuous and bizarre life.
For Puyi on the road to adulthood, the biggest influence in addition to Empress Dowager Cixi is the slaves around him, and among them, his
Milk Daughter Wang Saka
Definitely a unique existence. How do you say that?
First, the selection system of nursing mothers under the family of the powerful
Milkmaids are a profession that exists independently of all slaves, they will not be like other slaves need to do hard work, or sell good to win the favor of the master's family, to know that there is a distinct social status between slaves, and the chain of contempt, just like the chain of contempt in the workplace today, the level of the position naturally determines the environment.
And the nursing lady obviously does not need to go to the gang, let alone to please the master, as long as she ensures that her milk is sufficient and the quality is good. In addition, the time that the nursing mother exists in the family family is not too long, after all, the time for the child to breastfeed is only a few years.
In ancient times, there was a very strict hierarchical system, although the powerful family needed people to serve themselves, these slaves who served themselves were usually slaves.
But their requirements for the nursing mother are very ordinary, and the good family members with innocent families are definitely not slaves in the family.
Otherwise, his own children were actually raised drinking slaves' milk, and they would have no face when they said it.
Puyi, as the new monarch personally selected by Cixi, is naturally the most honorable man in this country, although this is only a candidate under the puppet regime, but after all, the face project still has to be done.
In addition, those who can become Zaifeng's wife are also the big ladies of the Ying Luo family,
In the Ying Luo family, they believe that only poor people will choose to breastfeed themselves, and they think that breastfeeding is a very unsightly thing. As a result, there is also a market demand for the existence of nursing mothers.
So, what kind of character is Puyi's nursing mother?
Second, the nursing mother is half a mother
In Puyi's autobiography "The First Half of My Life", it was described that the milk lady's name was Wang Jiao, originally a Hejian person, surnamed Jiao, because she was married to a local husband surnamed Wang, she was called Wang Jiao, and fu Jun was a servant of the county ya, and the life was quite fair.
However, during the turbulent years of the country, the family life was not rich, so he chose to interview the rich and noble family's nursing mother after giving birth to his little daughter.
Puyi's biological mother was a relatively soft-skinned woman who was reprimanded by Princess Jin that year, and then could not withstand the pressure and eventually committed suicide. I have to say that her psychological endurance is really low, if according to the current society, such a person is afraid that she will die eight hundred times a day because she can't withstand the pressure.
Puyi, who had no wife since childhood, although his status was noble, Cixi did not actually play a teaching role for him, nor did she even seek a good shelter for him. How could a slurred child live comfortably in this high-walled compound, where the slaves around him were ostensibly afraid of him, but in fact did not care about him.
Wang Jiao's family played a role in educating Puyi to a certain extent.
At that time, when Puyi, who was only five years old, forced the slave to swallow iron sand, it was Wang Jiaoshi who persuaded him to tell Puyi that it would be very painful to eat like this. It was precisely because of Wang Jiao's words that Puyi let go of the slaves. Children don't understand anything, but it is precisely because they are a blank piece of paper that they have to be carefully taught.
From here, Wang Jiaoshi is indeed a very simple woman.
The most important thing for the child is the company of his parents, all the slaves who have stayed by Puyi's side since childhood, and no one really pays attention to him, except for his nursing mother Wang Jiaoshi. Although Wang Jiaoshi was only a nursing mother, the duties of the ancient nursing mother also included the teaching of some children.
That is to say, Wang Jiaoshi was the person who had the greatest influence on Puyi.
In fact, the two did have a fate, the first day wang jiao gave him a nursing mother was when the three-year-old Puyi cried and did not want to enter the palace, how to coax did not get better, but after Wang Jiaoshi took over, Puyi immediately stopped crying. And it's really not easy to become a wet nurse,
In order to be able to better feed the employer's children, she cannot feed her own biological children, both to ensure that the milk is sufficient for the employer's children and for the quality of the milk.
Not only that,
In order to ensure the abundance of milk, Wang Jiaoshi also needs to eat a pork knuckle without any salt taste every day.
Think of the fat elbow, the smell of meat is difficult to get rid of, eating in the mouth is really not something that ordinary people can endure. And this is only the first point, the real unbearable harsh conditions are still this one, which is really inhumane. What's that?
3. Separation from family
In order to allow the nursing mother to treat the child wholeheartedly, there is an unwritten rule that prohibits the nursing mother from returning home to visit her family. This is not only to ensure that the milk is not divided by the nursing mother's own children, but also to ensure that the nursing mother's mood does not fluctuate greatly, affecting the quality and yield of the milk.
And it was this that made Wang Jiaoshi feel that it was not worth it in the human world.
At that time, she put her own daughter at home in the interest of being a milkmaid of the deceased family in exchange for silver money. Originally, she wanted to use the silver money she earned to make her daughter's life better in the future, but who knew that soon after she entered the palace, her daughter starved to death due to lack of milk.
After the news was passed into the palace, the palace master was afraid that it would affect Wang Jiao's mood and affect the production of milk, so he hid the news from her. She was kept in the dark, and she also sent all her rewards home on time every month, so that her daughter could eat well and dress well.
This concealment was several years, until Puyi stopped drinking milk when she was nine years old, and Wang Jiaoshi returned home, and then she knew that her daughter had been dead for many years.
As it is said in "People's Thoughts and Returns": "It is only seven days in the spring, and it has been two years since I left home." ”
Of sadness.
The only daughter died for many years, and Wang Jiao's liver and intestines were cut off, but fortunately Puyi had great respect for her. In that year, after Wang Jiaoshi left the palace, Puyi sent many people to look for it.
After Puyi's big marriage, he found her and specially supported her, and even when he became the puppet emperor of puppet Manchukuo, he still did not forget the care of the nursing mother and took her to Changchun.
It was not until 1946 that Wang Jiaoshi died unexpectedly at the age of 59.
brief summary
In general, Puyi's life is undoubtedly a tragic and absurd life, and the dark court life has never brought him wealth and glory, but an abyss. In a cold royal palace,
Perhaps the nursing mother is his last shred of warmth, the person who raised himself from childhood to adulthood, who taught himself, is both his own elder and his own playmate.
Wang Jiao's life is sorry for her own daughter, but she gave her maternal love to Puyi, and it is precisely because of this good fortune that people have the capital and good fortune that can be in a safe corner in the years when there is no successor and the country is turbulent.
But I have to sigh that the profession of the nursing mother is not easy, eating can not eat with their own wishes, the family can not meet, chose a child, gave up the whole family.
