The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

Since Rou Jia is pregnant with twins, of course it is possible to give birth to a pair of younger brothers. Doesn't Brother Jiu know such a simple truth?

He knows.

But he refused to think about this possibility!

Just kidding, has he never seen his son in his previous life?He already has two legitimate sons, so if it's really a pair of younger brothers, he will be so mad!real!

From the moment Nine Brothers found out that Rou Jia was pregnant with twins, he has always fantasized that he will have two little princesses in a few months. ?

As a result, what did the fourteenth elder brother say now, maybe it is a pair of younger elder brothers?

"Old Fourteen, I think you deserve a beating, don't you?" Brother Jiu was so angry that he wanted to fight Brother Fourteen on the spot. He knew that he was eager to beg for a girl, but he just said such words with a mean mouth, not because he deserved a beating. what is it

"Wouldn't it be nice for me to wish you another pair of sons-in-law?" Elder Fourteen insisted.

"Shut up, old Fourteen, you're looking at others like you don't know what's on your mind." Elder Brother Ten, as Brother Nine's die-hard brother, how could he just watch Elder Fourteen curse his own brother like that?

Yes, it is a curse. For those who lack sons or prefer sons to daughters, this is of course a blessing. After all, it is an ominous saying that there are no twins in the Qing Dynasty. For the Manchus, every child is a gift from God baby.

But for Brother Jiu, who is eager to beg for a girl, isn't it no different from a curse?

"If you have the ability, you can come here in a dignified way. What kind of man are you talking about like a woman?" Elder Ten thought to himself, if it wasn't for the face of the fourth brother, he would definitely have to Besides, Brother Fourteen, it's okay, don't imitate your embarrassing mother-in-law.

Concubine De is neither her biological mother nor her adoptive mother. Elder Brother Shi doesn't have much contact with her, but don't forget that Concubine De's biological sister is Elder Brother Ten's uncle Al Ling'a's concubine Fujin, that is, Elder Shi Brother's aunt.

So I don’t have much contact with Concubine De. It doesn’t mean that Elder Brother Shi has never heard of what kind of person she is. It’s probably because of her humble background. My mind is gloomy.

He doesn't like to make things obvious, but likes to play tricks behind his back.

Brother Fourteen was brought up by Concubine De, he didn't learn half of her scheming, but he learned ten percent of those things that can't be put on the stage.

"Old Ten, what do you mean by that?" Elder Fourteen's face straightened when he heard it.

"What do you mean by that? Did you call the tenth brother?" Ninth elder brother stretched out his hand and directly opened the hand of fourteenth elder brother pointing at tenth elder brother, "For the sake of fourth elder brother, I don't want to Arguing with you, but if you are really not convinced, then find a time to teach you how to be a younger brother."

"Don't say a word for each person. Today is a good day for the fourth brother. Let's talk about it later." The fifth master stepped forward to smooth things over. Although this elder brother has no skills, the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are younger brothers in front of him. Therefore, it is impossible not to listen to him.

Coupled with other people's persuasion, even if Brother Ninth and Fourteenth had temporarily suspended their troops, what happened in the front yard would not spread to the backyard for a while, so Roujia and the others At this moment, I don't know what happened in the front yard. The atmosphere is much more harmonious than that in the front yard.

Today is the day when the fourth master accepts Fujin. Regardless of whether the relationship between the other princes and Fujin is good or not, they also sympathize with her a little more today. After all, they may have different opinions on other things, but when they treat Fujin None of them would really like such concubines.

In addition, I heard that Nianshi is so good-looking this year, and he is a reserve concubine, which is even more frustrating.

However, few of the people present were fools. Naturally, they couldn't be so stupid as to bluntly express sympathy or pity for Si Fujin. They didn't even mention Nian Shi, a newcomer, but only talked about her with Si Fujin. two children.

"Honghui was born in 36, right? He's going to be 13 years old now, and he can marry Fujin in a short time." Someone laughed, "Sister-in-law Si, you will be happy by then. Just come and hold your grandson."

"This is considered to be marrying Fujin, how many older brothers are there on Honghui's head?" The relatives of the older brothers were either imprisoned or abolished. They still don't know what Kangxi planned for their marriage, so it's hard for Si Fujin to say, so he just passed it vaguely.

But there is still one person who can be joked about, and that is Sanfujin, Sifujin said with a smile, "Maybe Sansister-in-law will be able to embrace her grandson earlier than me."

Sanfujin shook his head and sighed: "If Hongqing of our family is half as sensible as Honghui of your family, I will be happy. He is older than Honghui, but he looks like a child. Why do you have a grandson?" Yes, think about it first."

Said, Sanfujin glanced at the siblings below, and then said to Sifujin, "But the topic of holding grandchildren is probably only the two of us who can talk, from the fifth sibling down, their children are still young. "

Leaving aside the concubines, the concubine's children are all in their early teens, and the youngest is not even born in the mother's womb.

Speaking of the child in the belly, everyone's topic turned to the stomachs of Roujia, Qiqige and Thirteen Fujin.

That's right, Shisan Fujin was also found to be pregnant after returning from Mongolia. If you calculate carefully, it is less than three months now, but because of the good relationship between Thirteenth Elder Brother and Fourth Master, no matter how nervous Shisan Fujin is My own child is still present today.

When it comes to children, Si Fujin and the others will have more conversations. Although neither the Fucha family nor the Twelve Fujin have given birth, they each have children under their knees.

In addition, this pair of cousins ​​is different from the original Guo Luoluo, they are also not pregnant, but they are not as paranoid as Guo Luoluo, always feel that when others mention pregnancy, the matter of having a child is mocking her as a good-for-nothing hen.

Closer to home, this pregnancy is indeed a happy event, but it is nothing new. After all, it is not the first time that both Qi Qige and Thirteen Fujin are pregnant. The real novelty is Roujia's twins.

After the news spread, Roujia knew that she would be like a panda in the zoo for the next period of time, and would be surrounded by people wherever she went, so Roujia had already become a The most beautiful cub in the audience is mentally prepared.

"Sister-in-law Jiu, you said that they are both pregnant. Why am I not so lucky to be pregnant with twins?" Qiqige looked at Roujia's belly and was envious. Twins sound strange. Being pregnant is a great blessing. up.

The Mongols are the same as the Manchus, probably because they don’t have the so-called eldest son inheritance system, so they never feel that twins mean bad luck. Qiqige has heard of someone who was pregnant with twins since she was a child. However, those close to her were pregnant with twins, and Joo Chia was the first.

So Qiqige is envious and curious at the same time.

Not only Qiqige is envious and curious, but everyone else is the same. Staring at Roujia's belly is like staring at some rare treasure. Wu Fujin said: "It's the first time I've seen someone pregnant with twins since I was a child." , Ninth Brother and Sister, you are really blessed."

"If you want to talk about envy, it should be me the most, right?" San Fujin said with a smile, "At any rate, Roujia and I are still cousins."

Since Sanfujin was able to say this with a smile, it proved that she only had envy for Roujia's pregnancy with twins, and had no other negative emotions.

"Sister-in-law three, what you said is that although you are not pregnant with twins like the nine younger siblings, you have a strong stomach." Qi Fujin enviously said, "Now that we have so many sisters-in-law, we are the most blessed It's you and the fourth sister-in-law."

When it comes to having children, Sanfujin and Sifujin are indeed a few blocks away from many people, and Qifujin is not indifferent to the daughter she gave birth to. After all, it is a piece of flesh that fell from her body. How could she not pain?

But Qi Fujin still wanted a son, if it wasn't for the fact that she only had one daughter, she wouldn't be so crowded by Nala that she almost had no place to stand in the house now.

"Sister-in-law Qi is right." Mrs. Fucha said, "It is really a great blessing to have both sons and daughters."

Everyone present knew what was going on with Fucha and Ba Ye. Seeing that she was able to calmly say such things at this time, San Fujin and the others also felt that it was not easy for her.

"You're still young." Sanfujin said, "And it's hard to say about the fate of children. Maybe it won't be long before I hear good news about you."

"Then I will accept your noble words, Third Sister-in-Law." Fucha replied with a smile, but in fact, she no longer had any hope in her heart. After being married to Ba Ye for so long, not only did she remain silent, but other women also There was no movement, and Jiulian Zhang Gege and Mao Gege, who had given birth to Ba Ye, did not make any movement.

What does this mean?

This shows that Ba Ye has a big problem.

That being the case, then the Fucha family simply did not waste time on the matter of having children. Fortunately, they still have Hongwang and Da Gege in their house, and they are all recorded in her name now. Not to the point of treating her as her own, but the two children know what to do with each other, so they are very filial and respectful to her, the aunt.

That being the case, then the Fucha family felt that if Ba Ye was not very capable of giving birth, then there was no need to regenerate, lest she had raised Hongwang, and Ba Ye would have another son with another woman in the future.

When the eldest son meets the youngest son, the Fucha family can't guarantee that the eighth master's heart will still be partial to Hongwang and her, so the Fucha family, who had planned in advance, drugged the eighth master.

Even if another woman gave birth to her in the future, she wouldn't be afraid, because she was destined not to be of the eighth master.

No one knows what Fucha has done in private, so she still has a good image in the eyes of everyone at the moment, and even Rou Jia thinks that Fucha and the white lotus man of Ba Ye are really a flower. Flowers stuck in cow dung.

But after all, this is an outsider's business, and Rou Jia sighed a few words and it was over. When I went back, I heard Brother Jiu talking about what happened in the front yard, and Rou Jia was also angry: "You said it was also a mother's birth. Yes, why is there such a big difference between Fourteenth and Fourth Brother?"

Although Rou Jia is often angry with Brother Nine, they can still be regarded as a couple's love, but what about Brother Fourteen?He clearly wanted to make things difficult for Brother Nine.

Even though Roujia didn't think it was a great happy event for the fourth master to accept Fujin, it was indeed a happy event in the eyes of outsiders, and it was hard to say whether he was going for the ninth elder brother or for the sake of the fourteenth elder brother. Fourth master went.

"Don't you see who the fourth brother and the old fourteen grew up in front of?" Brother Jiu said, "He still wants to compete for the virtue of the fourteenth? The eighth is just blind, Huang A Marco is not blind."

Anyway, Brother Nine doesn't like Brother Fourteen. Although he is not the material to be an emperor, he has self-knowledge. He is not like Brother Fourteen. He is young, but he is not small.

But when I think about it carefully, I think it's normal. After all, when the fourteenth elder brother was born, the concubine De was already a concubine. In addition, he was an old concubine, and the sixth elder brother who went up to the top died early. So Concubine De can pamper him vigorously?

In addition, the fourteenth elder brother grew up well when he was young, and he fell into Kangxi's eyes as early as the thirteenth elder brother, so it is no wonder that he was raised with a temperament that does not know the heights of the sky and the earth.

But it doesn't matter, sooner or later someone will teach him to be a man, and this will come sooner or later.

At the end of the 48th year of Kangxi, Gali, who had been promoted to the governor of Liangjiang, successively impeached Jiangsu officials for taking bribes and embezzling public funds. Si Gong is Chen Pengnian who is the chief political envoy.

Yu Huai, Yi Sigong and Jiao Yinghan had been successfully impeached by Gali and were all removed from their positions. It is true that some of these three were involved in corruption and bribery, but it was not the case that Gali falsely accused them.

However, Gali is deeply trusted and valued by Kangxi. He has been impeached many times as an official, but he has successfully defended him every time. I don’t know what he thinks. He was ginsenged before, but now it’s his turn. Participate in others.

How about a man of high etiquette and daring who dares to join others on charges of corruption, bribery, and embezzlement of public funds even though he is not clean? The point is that he really succeeded in joining.

I don't know if he has a taste for taste, but he found that the method of impeachment to eliminate dissidents is really good, so he repeated the old trick and impeached Chen Pengnian as the chief envoy to verify that the reported situation was not true. Element.

"Where is this Chen Pengnian in the way of Ga Li's eyes?" As the prince who has entered the court, Brother Jiu and the others know everything about what happened in the court, but at least they have heard about it.

It's just that brother Jiu doesn't understand what kind of madness this Kari has committed, it's like being addicted to ginseng this year.

"This Boxing regards Chen Pengnian very highly, and he relies on rulings on everything, but Ga Li has always been at odds with Zhang Boxing." When the fourth master said this, Brother Nine and the others understood.

The fourth master said again, "I know Chen Pengnian well. He attaches great importance to water conservancy construction, is good at resolving water conservancy disputes, is upright, and upholds justice for the people. He is a rare and good official."

Fourth Master has always seldom praised others, but at this time he praised Chen Pengnian in such a large space (for him), which shows that even if this person has any shortcomings, they are probably not concealed.

"Fourth brother, what do you mean?" Nine elder brothers looked at fourth master, and then heard him say, "It is true that Chen Pengnian's verification report is not true, but it is also true that he is dedicated to serving the people. As for Huang Ama's judgment How, we can't control, but at least we have to let Huang Ama know the truth."

When fourth master said this, Brother Nine and the others understood, what he meant was that even if Chen Pengnian did something wrong, they had to give him a chance to defend himself to Kangxi.

Of course, besides that, it would also be good to let Kangxi know what Ga Li did in Jiangnan.

Brother Nine always thinks that this last point is the real purpose of fourth master, but it's not surprising when he thinks about it, after all, what he hates the most is corruption, but Ga Li has the talent, and his official luck is also very good. Well, it is greed, and his greed is not a greedy heart, but an insatiable greed.

Although the words are the same, the degree is different.

But elder brother Jiu has no objection, but if he has no objection, the eighth master has a big opinion.

Do you still remember that Eighth Master had to accept a bribe from Gali in order to pay off the national treasury arrears?Logically speaking, he is the prince, he is the minister, Ba Ye doesn't have to be afraid of him at all, but who made him accept his bribes and was caught by Gali?

This Chen Pengnian lived up to his upright temperament, Fourth Master and the others just manipulated it a little bit to give him a chance to go to Beijing to defend himself, and he bluntly revealed all the "good things" that Gali had done.

Gali had known for a long time that Chen Pengnian was a tough guy, and when he learned that he could go to Beijing to defend himself, he thought about making a secret move, because if Chen Pengnian said everything he should and should not say, then the unlucky person would take his turn. It's his time.

However, Gali also knew very well that if something happened to Chen Pengnian on the way to Beijing, then he would be suspected, so after thinking about it, Gali decided to find Baye and ask him for help.

I have to say that this move of Gali was too wrong, a big mistake, because Kangxi is currently investigating the [-]th elder brother, so naturally he also counted the eighth master, so Gali was looking for the eighth master. Kangxi knew it on his back foot.

If Kangxi wants to know many things, he can basically know. He didn't know it before, but it was because he didn't care about it. Now that he realizes that the Gali people are in the south of the Yangtze River, he sent the letter to the Baye Mansion, and immediately sent someone Thoroughly investigate the matter of Gali and Baye.

To be honest, Kangxi could allow his ministers to embezzle, accept bribes, and even run short of public funds, but he absolutely did not allow them to be involved with the prince in private.

After all, what Kangxi hates most is not corruption, but forming a party for personal gain.

Just like Cao Yin and the others, didn't Kangxi know that they were short of public funds?He knew, but Kangxi chose to turn a blind eye, because he needed to put a few pairs of eyes on Jiangnan, and Cao Yin and the others were loyal to him.

However, after Chen Pengnian was allowed to go to Beijing to defend himself, Ga Li actually wrote a letter to Ba Ye.

Kangxi looked at the people below to thoroughly investigate what Ba Ye had done in the past few years, and immediately sneered: "It seems that this son of mine is really amazing, so that now I doubt how many civil and military men there are in the Manchu Dynasty. The subject is my subject."

As soon as Kangxi said this, Liang Jiugong and the others knelt down on the spot: "Long live Lord, calm down."

"Get up." Kangxi waved his hand. He didn't know if it was because he knew what kind of person Ba Ye was, so when he saw this, he was angry, but not too angry.

At least not everyone likes the Eighth Master, such as Cao Yin's family.

Although Kangxi didn't have the ability to read minds, so he couldn't know that Cao Yin had ever been moved by his heart, but there is a good saying, no one is perfect in the world, as long as Cao Yin has not actually done anything to form a party for personal gain, Kangxi is still willing to reuse him .

"This old eight..." Kangxi snorted, threw the folder on the imperial case, and then thought of Brother Fourteen, "Liang Jiugong."

"The slave is here."

"Find an opportunity to bring the matter between Lao Ba and Ga Li to Fourteen." Kangxi didn't think highly of Brother Fourteen, but just wanted to see if his son would disappoint him again.
