Since ancient times, after the children of rich and noble families were born, they usually found a nursing mother to feed their children, and the same was true for Puyi. In the year of Puyi's birth, a "recruitment" notice was posted at the door of the Alcohol King's Mansion to find a wet nurse for Puyi, with a monthly salary of two or two silver. In ancient times, it was a great thing to be able to work in the royal palace, not to mention making a living in a society in the late Qing Dynasty where the industry was withering and the people were not happy. Initially, the Alcohol King's Mansion initially selected 20 women with relatively superior conditions, and then further screened. Wang Lianshou, 19, was one of 20 lactating women when she had just given birth to a daughter, her husband had died of lung disease, leaving only her elderly parents-in-law. The family of four was about to die, so Wang Lianshou had no choice but to abandon his daughter to apply for a nursing mother in the alcohol palace.
There are many applicants, the screening requirements are naturally very strict, the physical appearance should be dignified, the milk should be thick, and Wang Lianshou won with his own favorable conditions. As the nursing mother of the Alcohol King's House, she is naturally different from the nursing mother. In addition to daily feeding, she also needs to accept many conditions that ordinary people cannot tolerate. For example, a bowl of unsalted pork knuckle must be eaten every day to induce milk. You can only take the money home a little, but you can't go home by yourself, and you can't have contact with your own children.
Sure enough, in the third year of Wang Lianshou's work as a nursing mother in the Alcohol King's Mansion, her daughter left the world due to malnutrition. Worried that this news would affect the quality of Wang Lianshou's milk, the Alcohol King's Mansion blocked the news without authorization, and poor Wang Lianshou was working as a cow and a horse in the Alcohol King's Mansion, and his daughter starved to death without knowing it.
In this way, Puyi ate Wang Lianshou's milk and did not wean until he was nine years old. During this period, Puyi's entire childhood can be said to have followed his nursing mother. For a long time, Puyi has gradually changed many bad habits under the inducement of Wang Lianshou. When he thinks that he and ordinary people are ordinary people, his loneliness will be much less.
