Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

This time, King Jian did not bring his son Yarjiang A, he could tell that the person who took over his errand and secretly suppressed the anti-Qing Fuming was the fourth child.

Then let your son take charge of the clan's mansion, this is a serious job anyway.Sometimes what they do behind the scenes is really bloody, and it is best for their own descendants not to be involved in murder.

The two packed up some things, didn't bring many people with them, went out of the city to meet people outside the city, and then hid their tracks and headed south.

The team in the capital here is ready to go, Kangxi left the third and the eighth to accompany the prince in the capital, and took the eldest and the fifth away.

At the beginning, Honghui felt fresh when he sat in the sedan chair with Tian Mi, and he lay on the window and pointed at the clouds and grass outside, happily.

There were quite a few bodyguards of the Tong family accompanying them. After leaving Zhangjiakou, the team was loosely managed, so they gathered together and found a chance to meet Tian Mi.

These are all juniors from her natal family, and Tian Mi hasn't seen some of them for a few years, so she entrusts Hong Hui to them and asks them to take Hong Hui for a ride on horseback.

Several times, Qi Busong walked around the Empress Dowager's sedan chair with Honghui in his arms. The people around the Empress Dowager also knew that this was her future bride. Well, when he came with Hong Hui, these people took the initiative to report to the Queen Mother. The old lady liked the juniors, so she was happy to let Hong Hui come to her. Qi Busong's scheming was really useful, two or three times. Met with Jiugege.

The two of them knew that there was a marriage contract in private, so they were a little shy when they met, even if they were separated by a few meters or a few people, they immediately blushed when they looked at each other.

The queen mother also noticed it. After entering the territory of Rehe, she discussed with Kangxi who came to accompany her to talk, or they should settle their good affairs.

Kangxi thought of the chat with Tian Mi before he set off, so he declined and said that he was not in a hurry, "Let's wait and see, it's not that our girl can't get married, the attitude is to be raised, let their family worry, scratching their ears and scratching their cheeks in a hurry is more important." good."

The Empress Dowager thought about it for the same reason, "The higher our attitude is, the more they will respect our girl."

So the mother and son looked coldly at the boy of the Tong family trying to find a way.

Qi Busong was so tossing around that someone could already tell that Zheerjin from Niu Hulu's family was his cousin, so he quietly found Qi Busong, "Cousin, tell my brother what to do, you What have you been doing these days? Why do you see that you are wandering around the queen mother's car when you have nothing to do?"

"Your Majesty ordered me to take Brother Honghui to visit the Empress Dowager, but I just followed the order."

"Not necessarily, even if you didn't take brother Honghui with you, you still looked over there. My brother asked you, don't you mean that you are interested in a certain maid there?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"The big guys say that, if it's not...why are you looking around eagerly, your family doesn't care about you." He didn't dare to make fun of the princesses, so he could only test it with the palace maids.

"Go, go, do your job, don't be lazy here."

After driving away the cousin who was inquiring about the news, he couldn't help sighing. At this moment, his uncle Qingfu came. Qingfu was Tong Guowei's fourth son, and he wondered in his heart, why did he leak the news? But he has been refusing to issue an imperial edict?Is there anything in the family that is not in line with the holy will?

He came over to persuade Qi Busong, "Repress yourself in the past few days, don't do anything out of the ordinary, now you have attracted people's attention, if there is a leak, let people put you and Gege together for discussion , Your Majesty thought we were forcing the marriage."

"But Fourth Uncle, this... is not high or low, when can I give you an accurate statement? My nephew really can't wait."

"Is there anything you can't wait for? One year, two years, three years, can't you wait three years?" Qingfu looked at this silly boy, he was quite active, it seemed that he really wanted to marry Jiugege as his wife .

"Don't stand out, these two days I'll invite Mrs. Chen who is next to my mother to have a drink, and find out what it means?"

After setting up camp at night, Qingfu asked his entourage to buy a few chickens from the farmhouses along the way to make roast chicken, and fried a few plates of vegetables, and brought them in boxes.

He took a small altar of wine and invited Mr. Chen over.

Eunuch Chen doesn't drink alcohol, "Fourth Master Qing, we know what you want to ask. There is a [-]% certainty about this matter. The emperor loves Ge Ge and wants to stretch the house."

Qingfu thought it was true, "How long will it last?"

"After going back this time, it may be Nian Gen."

Qingfu felt relieved, and told Eunuch Chen to eat quickly, thinking in his heart that he only had to take care of these little brats in the house for a few days, and as long as there was no accident during this period, he would hand them back to him completely. At home, I have Ama to worry about.

The members of Tong's family became more honest, and the team slowly arrived near Chengde. Kangxi called his elder brother, Prince Yu, to Yujia. The two brothers drank two sips of hot tea with their cups in their hands, and chatted about family gossip.Kangxi suddenly changed the subject, "My sons gave the imperial concubine a birthday gift a few days ago. I see that life is going well, and I can see something from the birthday gift. There are only precious gifts from the old eighth. , the imperial concubine likes a string of pearls very much, and I don't want to say anything, I'm afraid that this child will have to pay for it."

Having said that, Fuquan frowned, "Lao Ba's birthday gift to the slave is also expensive, and the gift to the concubine and Fujin in the palace of the slave is not thin. The slave asked, he is not short of money. Moreover, I heard that he is very popular in the clan, and the gifts he gave are all expensive. The servant thought you subsidized him in private, so you and the empress did not subsidize him in private?"

Kangxi suddenly mentioned it in his heart, "I have something to tell the emperor. There is a book saying that someone stole ginseng and Dongzhu in the Longxing land in the northeast. These things have all arrived in the pass, and the value of the goods they got is extraordinary..."

"The emperor means that the eighth elder brother encourages people to dig ginseng?"

"It doesn't mean that." He said that he didn't mean that. He had this kind of thought in his heart. He waved his hand and lowered his voice, "Tell me, the underground of the old palace..."

"Your Majesty, not many people know about this matter, and the eighth brother was young at that time, let's not talk about it, where did they know about this matter, don't think too much about it."

Just as Kangxi nodded, Fuquan was drinking water from a cup, when a guard outside shouted, "Report to the emperor, there is a capital city of [-] miles to hurry up."

Kangxi immediately sent an urgent note.

As soon as the booklet was delivered, the two brothers were stunned. Li Dequan held the booklet in a white paper cover in his hand, which was a funeral report.

Fuquan's eyes were red, and he couldn't help covering his face and sniffing his nose a few times.Kangxi took it and looked at it, and it was indeed the funeral report of Prince Gong Changning.

"Chang Ning is dead."

This is a notebook written by Chang Ning's son himself. His Ama's last words and the time of his death are all written out.There are a lot of wet spots on it.Kangxi handed it to Fuquan, and Fuquan felt more and more uncomfortable as he looked at it, and couldn't help wiping his eyes with his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, the Chang Ning family is too young to deal with such funerals. Let the servant go back."

Kangxi nodded, "What is missing? Send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support the elder brother in the capital. Let the crown prince sacrifice on my behalf, the third child." Thinking that the third child is unreliable, he added the eighth child, "The third child and Old Ba Shouling, that is a real uncle, you must be respectful, if there is any disrespect, I will go back to the capital and peel their skins."

Fuquan nodded, got off the imperial car, then turned back when he remembered something, "Your Majesty, this servant will leave now, and I won't report to the Empress Dowager, please tell her this matter slowly, don't startle her. "

Kangxi nodded, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to the queen mother after you leave."

Kangxi asked someone to find a blue robe for himself, and after changing it, he notified the team to hold a funeral. Because the Queen Mother was still in the team, the whole team cleaned up the bright things in a very low-key way, and those who did not have plain clothes changed into light-colored clothes .

Tian Mi also received the notice, and quickly removed the resplendent jewelry on her head, and replaced it with a set of silver jewelry for a sky blue cheongsam, and also changed clothes and accessories for Hong Hui.

Kangxi got into the empress dowager's carriage. The empress dowager didn't know about it yet. She was telling her granddaughters about the legend on the grassland. When she saw Kangxi coming, she wondered, "Why is this here? Are you not busy?"

"No, I have something to tell you, it's okay not to say it, Chang Ning..."

"He's cured, let him come and go outside the Great Wall together. I remember he likes to eat roe deer meat."

"No, he...he..." Kangxi really couldn't tell that he died of illness.

Take out the folder from the sleeve, "He..."

Even if the Empress Dowager couldn't read Chinese characters, she could still understand what Bai Feng's book meant. She was in unbearable pain for a while, and she shed tears before saying a word, "Your brother is gone?"

Kangxi nodded, "Emperor Niang, don't feel bad, he is serving his ancestors."

"You lied to me, you lied to me. When a person dies, he has nothing. Go back, I want to go back and see Chang Ning."

"Emperor Niang, you have already come to Chengde, you should meet your relatives in a down-to-earth manner."

"I have no relatives, you are just looking at me and fooling me. I know, if my mother-in-law is gone, I will have no family. If my brother is gone, I will have no relatives. The ones I met are not relatives. My relatives have already returned to the embrace of Changshengtian. You brothers have coaxed me for so many years, and I let you coax me, but now I don’t want you to coax me anymore, let me go back and see Chang Ning. Wuwuwu..."

"Emperor Niang, don't even think about going back. What if you go back? The person is gone. Seeing it will only make you sad."

Kangxi couldn't persuade her, the queen mother couldn't breathe from crying, seeing the old lady going back to the capital, there was nothing he could do.

After getting off the carriage of the Empress Dowager, someone invited Tian Mi over, "I would like to ask the imperial concubine to persuade the Empress Dowager."

Tian Mi heard the eunuch's report on the road, and felt difficult in her heart.When they came to the empress dowager's car, the empress dowager got straight to the point: "You and the emperor have the same nostrils, and I won't listen. I want to go back to the capital."

"Why are you going back to the capital? He was buried while you were still on the road. It is said that it is safe to go to the next world as soon as possible. Moreover, the ancestors are waiting for him underground. It cannot be because you want to see him , stop him from reuniting with his ancestors."

"You lie to me, where are there ancestors underground. There are none at all."

"Why not? If so, how about all these good things of yours being returned to your concubine in the future? Do you dare to bet with your concubine that the first emperor and Concubine Dong E lived well underground."

The Queen Mother stopped crying, "The two of them can live together anywhere."

"Isn't it?" Tian Mi smiled: "When I see the two queens in front of me in the future, they don't know how much they will hate me. After all, I live with the emperor, and they can't do anything about it."

The Queen Mother asked suspiciously: "Do you believe they are waiting for us?"

"Isn't it? I will tell you a story about a monkey. It's Sun Dasheng."

"The one making trouble in the Heavenly Palace? I read it from the script."

"What about after he troubled the Heavenly Palace? Have you read it in the drama?"

"Not really, there will be more in the future?"

"Well, there is a long story behind, would you like to hear it?"

"Then tell me."

Kangxi knew that Tian Mi used the late emperor as an example, and couldn't help yelling at her: "You are so bold, don't you know that the son does not blame the father? As for the matter between him and Concubine Dong E, you are a daughter-in-law. Can you talk nonsense?"

"I didn't talk nonsense, I just talked about it in front of the Queen Mother."

"Doesn't the Queen Mother think too much about it? When the Empress Dowager was still alive, she said, don't mention the... thing about the former Emperor and Concubine Dong E to her?"

"I know I was wrong." Tian Mi accepted the lesson honestly, anyway, the queen mother didn't go back clamoring, and she was still waiting to tell her a story tomorrow.

"Oh, you! It's not your fault to say that you are bold."

The two of them sat down to eat together, Kangxi was not in a good mood, after all, his brother died, and his appetite was poor.

Tian Mi persuaded him: "Think about it, life and death are fate, he has been ill for so long, his lung problems have not been cured, and he coughs all day long, just hearing it makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Hey, I think of Zhen Qinzheng earlier. At that time, he was in good health, riding his horse and whipping his whip, and looked very majestic. I didn't expect it to be so fast, alas."

After finishing speaking, he brought the food in front of him, added a few chopsticks of green vegetables, and drank half a bowl of porridge, "Eat less meat, eat more vegetarian food, and take care of yourself more. If you live an extra day, you will earn money."

Tian Mi didn't know why he had such emotion, but this time the party was indeed not so happy.

Although the Queen Mother was not warm enough to the Mongols, she was not indifferent either. His nephew came, and he had only met him a few times. When she got married, this nephew had not yet been born.There was nothing to talk between the two, and after greeting those who were still alive, the queen mother felt that it was boring.He didn't show much kindness to Horqin either. In order to look good, Kangxi came forward to reward Prince Horqin on behalf of the queen mother.

In addition, I also heard that there was a funeral in the capital, and these Mongolian princes did not gather together, so there were no bonfires and singing and dancing in the grassland at night.

Except that Kangxi was as busy as ever, everyone felt that this trip outside the Great Wall was not much new.In addition to taking care of the Queen Mother, Tian Mi also takes care of Honghui. Honghui plays beautifully. It is his first time to come to the prairie. The colder the sky, the more yellow the autumn grass. Wild geese are flying in the sky. Those wild geese know a little bit.

"Ma'am, bird!"

"Well, wild geese fly south, and when the weather gets hot next spring, they will come back."

"I'm home!"

"Well, our elder brother is really smart."

In addition to the sad events such as illness and death in the family, some good events also occurred. For example, Da Fujin finally gave birth to a son after giving birth to four daughters.Upon receiving such good news, the boss excitedly rode his horse around the camp three times.

It's a pity that when this happy event meets a funeral, it is not festive enough.The boss just came to say a happy word, and after receiving the reward, he closed the door and was happy for a few days.

When it was snowing heavily and the weather turned cold, Kangxi was still unwilling to leave. All the things to be done had been done. If he did not leave, everyone might be blocked on the road by heavy snow.

Tian Mi has asked people to prepare charcoal, but this huge team needs a lot of charcoal. In order to keep out the cold, the furs they got a while ago are also processed at this time, and made into clothes for everyone to put on quickly.

Tian Mi felt a little regretful in her heart, she shouldn't have brought this eldest grandson out, it was a pain to bring out.

Kangxi asked the whole family to wait on the grassland, just to wait for Brother Qi to come back.

Finally, before the heavy snow was about to fall, Brother Qi rushed back with a team of people. He was completely different from when he left. He was tall and white when he left, but now he is black and thin when he comes back.

After meeting Kangxi, he just greeted him and threw himself on the table, swept across the food on the table, burped after eating and drinking, and then confessed in fear.

The father and son talked all night, Tian Mi didn't know what they were talking about, and the imperial decree ordered the large troops to march back to the capital early the next morning.

It is said that after the seventh elder brother came back, he fell asleep in his carriage directly, and even the eldest elder brother found him sleeping the whole time after passing by several times.

The bodyguards in the team were sent out one after another. Tian Mi knew what Kangxi meant. No matter how hard those anti-Qing and Ming-ming people in the south danced, it was not his serious problem. His confidant’s serious problem would always be the north The neighbor on the prairie.The purpose of coming to the Great Wall to meet with them every year is also to keep abreast of their dynamics. From pressure to deterrence to grace, he has already done this set of procedures.

When they went back, the team walked very fast, as if they were racing against the wind and snow. When the whole team walked out of the Rehe border and entered the Zhili area, the wind and snow behind them finally fell, and a group of people braved the wind and snow. It took ten days to arrive near the capital.

The team went directly to the capital, and Tian Mi sat down in the Chengqian Palace with her grandson in her arms in the evening.

On the second day, the empresses of all the palaces and Fujin from all the prefectures came to pay their respects.

Si Fujin hadn't seen his son for several months, and he missed him very much. When he met, he carried his son to the side hall, and the mother and son went to talk.

Concubine Hui held a swaddling baby arrogantly, and Da Fujin behind her finally had some brilliance on her face, without the depression and lifelessness before.

Concubine Rong, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the same as before, no change from before they left.It was Wu Fujin behind Yifei who looked haggard.

Concubine Liang came by herself, sitting at the door with a group of concubines, Tian Mi looked around with her eyes, but didn't see Fujin Ba, "Why didn't you see the wife of Ba Fujin?"

Concubine Liang stood up quickly, and Concubine Hui had already spoken, "She is not in good health these two days, so I let her lie down at home." Speaking of this, she looked mysterious, "Maybe Lao Ba's family has Happy event."

Concubine Liang could only sit down in embarrassment.

After hearing this, Tian Mi couldn't help asking: "Are you sure?"

Concubine Hui was very happy, "Nine times out of ten, although the imperial physician did not personally confirm it, we are all women. We all know."

Concubine Rong was talking on the side: "So, Concubine Hui's sister has a double happiness. The elder son's family has a grandson, and the younger son's family will also have a unicorn to give him a son immediately. Oh, this is really something we can't envy."

After finishing speaking, his eyeballs glanced at Concubine Liang, Concubine Liang was very embarrassed.It was at this time that Kangxi also came. Kangxi didn't let anyone inform him, but he came in from the outside and said, "What are you talking about? It's so lively."

The bustle of bullshit is only talking to Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong.

The women in the room hurriedly got up to pay their respects. Kangxi sat on it holding a teacup and looked at the women around him. "What did you say just now? Why didn't you say anything when I came here?"

Concubine Rong came out: "The concubine said congratulations to Concubine Hui, good news is about to come out from the Laoba family, and there is already a male in the old family, isn't this double happiness?"

The women around all smiled and nodded, thinking that this is an auspicious topic, the emperor should be able to laugh along with it.I didn't expect Kangxi to be so shameless, so he reprimanded Concubine Rong at that time, "What is the eighth boss, you either call them by name, or their title, or their ranking, with your tone, those who don't know think you are their aunt. "

Concubine Rong was so frightened that she quickly knelt down, she was so old, and her daughter-in-law was still standing behind her, she could only kneel on the ground and kowtow to apologize, "The concubine made a mistake, please punish the emperor."

The surrounding female relatives all knelt down, and Dong E followed Concubine Rong to plead guilty, Tian Mi turned to look at Kangxi, "Forget it, let her get up, the happy day of the reunion..."

"You just can't lift it up, look, any cat or dog can bully you."

Tian Mi was completely dazed by what he said, she quickly stood up and apologized, she didn't know what happened to the other party today, anyway, she came here to find trouble.

Kangxi grabbed Tian Mi, and pulled her back, "Sit down, since we are here today, let's make a rule, your master and empress usually don't care about you, you can do whatever you want behind closed doors, come out If you break the rules, you should follow the rules, and if anyone violates the rules in the future, I will never forgive you when I know."

After saying this, he put on a smiley face to get them up again, and continued the topic just now, "Listen to Concubine Rong, is the old Ba family happy? This is indeed a good thing."

A group of people stood up and sat back cautiously. Concubine Hui looked at Kangxi's color, and chose words carefully: "The letter from Yinhu's family is just that the imperial physician has not yet confirmed it, and the concubine estimates...it should be. "

Kangxi turned his head and said to Tian Mi: "If there is really good news, it's time to prepare nurses and servants. Seeing that the eighth child can also bloom, these children are getting bigger and bigger."

"Not only that, but the New Year's money prepared every year is also more than the previous year."

"This is what it should be. As elders, we should reward juniors with these things. By the way, since Lao Ba has something good to do, then..." Kangxi's eyes were on Concubine Liang at the door, Concubine Liang sat up straight suddenly, Staring at Kangxi with burning eyes.What Kangxi said next made her bones seem to have been pulled away.

"Then let Concubine Hui keep an eye on it. Concubine Hui, you have raised the eighth child so much, so work harder now."

With the words of the emperor, although the old eighth is not a certainty, but if there is a choice in the future, filial piety to concubine Hui has become a matter of course, and even concubine Hui will be ranked ahead of good concubines.

Concubine Liang clenched her hands tightly, and someone next to her reached out to hold her fist warmly, and patted her fist comfortingly.

Concubine Liang saw that the person sitting next to her was Mrs. Wang.The fifteenth elder brother Wang Guiren had just given birth to was taken away by Pin Tong.The position of the concubine Liang is at the end of the concubine, and Wang Guiren is in the forefront of the nobles according to his favor. The two women who had their sons taken away sat together, and couldn't help feeling sorry for each other.

Concubine Liang is better, after all, she still has a young son, Wang Guiren is still young, maybe she will have another son.The two of them were only disappointed, and did not reach the point of despair.

After silently comforting each other, they all sat still.

Because Kangxi was here, he got angry just now, and now everyone dared not speak. Tian Mi saw a group of people sitting here, which was not interesting, so she sent them away.

Although Concubine Hui has more face in front of the emperor today, she still needs to act quickly if she speaks out, she immediately sent out the experienced old woman beside her, "You go to Lao Ba's house first, Look at how Fujin lives, there is a lot of attention during pregnancy, and no one cares about their young couple, maybe some things are not done well, you go and correct what they did not do well."

The old mother knew what it meant, and immediately packed her things and went outside the palace.

The eighth elder brother came home and heard that someone from the palace had been sent. After inquiring, he found out that the palace thought that Fujin was pregnant, so he hurried to the backyard. Finding that Fujin's courtyard door was tightly closed, considering that Fujin was not pleasing to the eyes of Fujin at home recently, he didn't stop and went straight to the main courtyard.

The people sent by Concubine Hui have already made arrangements.

Bafu Jin was feeling depressed, of course she knew that the imperial concubine and the queen mother had returned, and everyone wanted to follow the imperial concubine to the queen mother to say hello, and then go to Chengqian Palace to sit for a while.

But other people have a mother-in-law, and I have two mother-in-laws, so go to Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui and her own legitimate daughter-in-law, go to Concubine Liang... Bafujin is not happy, today's Concubine Liang is not happy, no matter where he is from. Still in her current position, she was relatively crotchless, and she didn't want to stand behind Concubine Liang.

Thinking back when she was in the palace, her life was better than that of the princess, but now in the palace, she was overwhelmed by those sister-in-laws, she couldn't be reconciled.

So I didn't go to the palace at all today, I just told the palace that I felt nauseated after eating recently, and I didn't feel comfortable going.

But Concubine Hui heard that she seemed to be happy—considering that she really likes hot and sour food recently, and eats a lot, and occasionally feels nauseated, maybe she really has it.

Besides, the palace sent people over, and she felt that the matter was serious. After the starling came back, the husband and wife sat down to discuss it.

Ba Fujin only said that he was not feeling well, but he didn't expect that the slaves' message was wrong, making the empress in the palace mistakenly think that he had it.He swallowed the fact that he didn't want to enter the palace to serve the concubine Liang and didn't say anything.

Brother Ba only needs to infer back and forth to know why Fujin didn't go, but Fujin is just a little girl with a temper, and he is still upright and generous.

"If you don't go, don't go, the child's matter... If there is no one, we don't have to worry about it. Don't they also have Brother Wu? Don't take this matter to heart. If not, the master will enter the palace in a few days and explain it to the empress. .”

After hearing this, Fujin jumped into his arms happily, "It's still good for me."

"If it's not good to you, who is it good to? We are all a family."

"I am a family with you, but not with the one next door. If you want me to live a peaceful life with her, there is no way. There is me without her, she without me, you choose."

"She was gifted by the palace, so don't make it too difficult for her, otherwise the palace will not look good. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are based on her status. Don't always go looking for her, it's a shame. If you don’t go to her, it’s just the two of us living together.”

Ba Fujin nodded, "You said so."

"Don't worry, Grandpa will do what he says."

When the two were talking, the maid outside announced, "Master, just now an official from the south of the Yangtze River came outside, Master He please meet."

The eighth elder brother let go of the eighth fujin, "You sit down first, and I will have dinner with you tonight. There may be an important person outside, so I will go and see who it is first."

Seeing him leave, Bafujin immediately called over the nuns he was marrying.

"Get a few people over and block the door of the small courtyard on the east side."

When these old women saw it, they quickly persuaded, "I know you are unhappy, so you can't block the door for others."

Bafu Jin plausibly said, "I walked the road in front of my door. I won't let her go on the road I walked. Someone blocked her current door. Open a small door for him from the east side of the road, and let her walk." Go through that door."

Several people couldn't persuade her, the queen had listened to her order and brought clay bricks to block the door of Sitara's family.

The eunuch of the Xitara family disagreed, and was beaten back by the eunuch in front of Bafujin.Sitara was supported by the maids and stood under the corridor, watching his courtyard door being blocked, his face was as smooth as a mirror, and he didn't react at all.

The eighth elder brother who was drunk that day didn't even notice that the door of the side Fujin was blocked. When he found out, three days had passed.Bafujin had people block the door, but didn't dig it out immediately. The people in the yard had to go hungry for two days before they could enter and leave the yard and serve food and drink from the kitchen.

The eunuch next to Zan Fujin entrusted her relationship with Concubine Liang, and Concubine Liang had no choice but to find out, "She is simply an enemy, and I don't know how much I owed her in my previous life, so why did she come to torment me like this."

Concubine Liang had no choice but to continue crying, and went back to see her Shisi was so angry at the mynah's house that her liver hurt.In my heart, I can't help complaining to my starlings, you are still a son, you can't control the affairs of your own backyard, and stabbed in front of Er Niang, making Er Niang sad, don't be guilty of your heart!

He went to persuade Concubine Liang not to be so uncomfortable. Concubine Liang was not crying just because of this matter, and she used to hope that the child would grow up and be close to her. .Her expectation is that the eighth elder brother and the mothers on both sides will move around, but now that the son is gone, what should I do?

Fourteen's persuasion was useless, he and Thirteen had already enrolled in autumn.Now I don't have so much time and energy for him to be mischievous, so I went back to Elder Brother's place to discuss with Thirteen in a sullen mood at night.

Shisan Wu'erniang and her elder brother were troubled by getting angry, and she didn't know how to persuade her.

His life is smooth and smooth, just eat and drink and play casually in the palace.There are not so many things to worry about every day, so the two of them can't think of any way to squat together.

Fourteen was irritable, and looked down on Eighth Brother in his heart.If this kind of person is a son, he is not a good son of Er Niang, but a good son of Concubine Hui.To be a husband is not to be a good husband to Sitara, but to be a good husband to Bafujin.Human beings are half-cut, why don't they want to use his slickness to deal with the relationship between mother and child.

Fourteen couldn't sleep because of this incident for several nights. When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Brother Seven finished his work and invited the brothers to drink warm house wine in his mansion.

After these little brothers came out of the school, they got into the carriage and went directly to Brother Seven's house.Just at this time, the older brothers also came out from the yamen, and everyone sat on the kang, except for the fourth elder brother who was still in Jiangnan and had not returned, they were all gathered.

The elder brother couldn't help asking: "Didn't the old eight say that your daughter-in-law is happy a few days ago? Why didn't you tell the big guy the good news?"

Lao Ba sat on the edge of the kang, "There was nothing, I was not sure at first, and then the imperial doctor came to check the pulse and said it was nothing."

The third child said, "No hurry, you see your fifth brother is not in a hurry."

Lao Jiu choked back at that time: "That's right, unlike some people who are so anxious to hold their sons in the tenth month."

These words didn't sound like good words, and with Lao Jiu's mocking expression, Lao San felt that the kid was laughing at himself, "Lao Jiu, brother wants to set rules for you today."

Brother Jiu's neck choked, "Come on, who is afraid of whom?"

Although the fifth child didn't speak, but sitting on the side with his arms folded, coupled with the fact that Eleven behind the ninth child was eager to try, the third child felt that there was nothing to care about with the three brothers today.The whole person was cowardly at that time.

Thirteen was sandwiched between his elder brothers, and he didn't forget to stuff those nut snacks into his stomach when watching the excitement.There was a plate of walnuts on the Kang table, and he grabbed a handful and stuffed it to Shisi behind him.

The two squatted in the back to eat, and the seventh elder brother led the prince to come. The eldest elder brother couldn't help snorting when he saw them entering the door, and a group of people stood up sparsely to greet the prince.

The prince was kind to others, but he was not polite to the elder brother, "Some people say that others are corrupt officials and thieves, but why are their hands not clean?"

The princes couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, the elder brother thought to himself, are you talking about me? "Second brother, please speak clearly. Who are the corrupt officials and thieves? Let's talk about the two of us here. It was you who shamelessly went to the south of the Yangtze River to blackmail the slaves. Now you are pretending to be a gentleman."

The prince squinted his eyes, his expression was particularly dangerous, "Don't think that your tricks are so clever, I heard that this year's salt tax is not much."

The eighth elder brother interjected, "There is a lot of rain this year in the south of the Yangtze River, and several places have suffered disasters. Not to mention the salt tax, the tea tax and silk tax are not good. These few big taxes are relatively low. Even if there are some It's tricky, it's also the work of those courtiers, what's the matter with the brothers?"

"That's right," the eldest brother turned over and sat up, as if he had obtained some evidence, "Second, did you hear what the eighth said just now, this year Jiangnan was hit by a disaster, not only the salt tax was reduced, but all kinds of taxes were also reduced Stop slandering people here, let me tell you, every penny I spend is clean. Don't blame me."

"you……"

"Prince, big brother," the fifth elder brother came forward to smooth things over, "Today is to congratulate the seventh younger brother on moving to a new home, let's only talk about family affairs and not about those things in the court."

The two older brothers snorted to each other and sat back down. At this time, only people outside dared to come in with wine and food. When a group of people had enough to eat and drink, they lay crookedly on the bed.

After a while, some people fell asleep again, and Shisi and the others were not given to drink because of their young age, so they were relatively sober at the moment.

Fourteen poked the half-drunk and half-awake Elder Brother Ten with his finger, "Brother Ten, how much is the salt tax reduced this year compared to last year?"

Elder Brother Ten's drunken eyes were hazy, "Why do you ask this?"

"Is it a lot? 10 taels?"

"I haven't seen the world before. It's just 10 taels, but it's 50 taels. Boy... hiccup, I won't say anything."

Fourteen shook Elder Ten, "Don't, Elder Ten, speak up quickly."

"Don't shake him, you'll throw up if you shake him again." Seventh elder brother walked in, "I've arranged a yard for you, let someone take you to wash and go to bed early, I'll send you to the palace tomorrow morning."

Thirteen and Fourteen jumped down. Thirteen and a few younger brothers secretly drank the big brother's wine just now, and now they are a bit drunk.Brother Seven couldn't help but get a headache, "They're all a bunch of drunks."

As he spoke, he picked up Thirteen and took care of Fourteen to walk with him. Fourteen then asked, "Brother Ten, why didn't he say anything?"

"There is nothing you can't say, the main reason is that you are young, and if you are a freshman
