The fourteenth blessing of the koi carp in the Qing Dynasty

While packing Yinzhen's luggage, Foer Guochun kept saying, "I'm afraid you won't be able to come back after going out for a year or so? I heard that there are many Miao people in Sichuan, and they are very Exclusive, it is better to go out this time with safety. It is said that Miao girls are very warm and generous, I can warn you, if you go out on errands and return to errands, if you bring me a woman, I will never forgive you."

As she said that, she put down the clothes in her hands, and made a wringing motion with her hands.

Yinzhen stepped forward to hug her, and rubbed her neck, "What are you thinking, I can't handle it alone, I'm making more women, am I looking for guilt?"

Foer Guochun blushed, "I hate it." No matter how I heard it, I felt that Yinzhen's words were not serious.

Hugging Foer Guochun hard, Yinzhen kissed her on the mouth, "I'll be back soon." It would take more than a month to travel from the capital to Huguang, and at least half a year back and forth.

"I'm not careful." Khan Ama's [-]th birthday is not coming back in time, the elder brother and the third brother have just been reprimanded, the capital should be very comfortable during this period, and he doesn't have to worry about Fol Guochun.The birthday gift was also prepared long ago, and Fol Guochun just had to send it up.

March is Kangxi's birthday, sixty sixtieth birthday, this longevity is naturally a big deal.

Over the years, Foer Guochun has not been idle. She searched a lot of ancient books, bought sweet potatoes and corn from Fan Bang, and experimented with planting them on her farm.Year after year, she finally managed to gather five hectares of seeds, and she increased the yield of sweet potatoes to eight hundred catties per mu.

Eight hundred catties is the output of her first-class fields in Huangzhuang, Beijing. Last year, the value of her five hectares of sweet potatoes in Shengjing reached [-] catties, which can be said to be a bumper harvest.

You must know that the wheat and rice in the first-class fertile fields are only three to four hundred catties, and rarely exceed five hundred catties.So we can know what level one thousand two is.What's more, the leaves and stems of sweet potatoes can be eaten, and they can fill the stomach when they are young; they can also be fed to cattle and sheep when they are old. These are good feed.

The yield of corn is slightly lower than that of sweet potatoes, and the same five hectares of land are only a thousand catties.Corn stalks are not as useful as sweet potatoes and are also food for livestock.Last year, she used corn stalks and sweet potato stalks as cattle and sheep, and the quality of meat and milk were particularly good.

However, there is one bad thing about sweet potatoes. Eating too much can cause heartburn.The dignitaries may not like it, but the common people will definitely be happy to plant it. After all, for those who have not had enough to eat all year round, nothing is more important than filling their stomachs.

Her research on this is not for the amusement of dignitaries, but to solve the problems of people's livelihood.Emperor Tang once said that 'water can carry a boat and also overturn it'. The people are the water. As long as they can eat, drink and dress warmly, they don't mind who is the emperor. Maybe if someone destroys their This kind of life, they will spontaneously resist.

Fol Guochun knew that they wanted to fight for reserves, so they had to find another way when they were surrounded by powerful enemies.And the only one who has not been contaminated by the princes is probably the "people's heart".

The princes of the emperor are pretentious, probably few people can think of this, and now it happens to be cheap for them.

After studying it for so many years, she felt that the time was right now, and she just took advantage of the emperor's birthday to send it up.

Fol Guochun is careful, she copied all the research notes before, and the research steps in it are clearly recorded. Even if it is the first planting, as long as she knows how to read, she believes that she can grow five hundred catties. food.Even farmers who cannot read can understand it after listening to a few words of explanation.

As an expert in farming, she believes that these people know more about farming than she does.

This year is the emperor's whole birthday, and she believes that everyone will try their best to give gifts, and their gift can only be said to be just right.This year, we will present all the things from last year, and when the wheat is harvested, we can promote experimental planting.This year's one-year study allows the emperor to see its value with his own eyes, and it should be able to be promoted in most regions next year.

It will be promoted nationwide in less than three years, and it will be just around the corner to solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people.

Yinzhen won't hand over everything to Foer Guochun, he doesn't care about it.Let’s talk about Wanshou, even though he had prepared it before, he met an elderly man on the road and had a flash of inspiration, so he asked him for a piece of rag, and made an umbrella out of these rags. .

Hongxi didn't understand, since this kind of umbrella can't cover the rain, what is Fourteenth Uncle doing here?Moreover, the rags come in all colors, and they are so colorful and ugly.

Tapped Hong Xi's head lightly with a folding fan, "Stupid, you forgot, this year is your Mafa's [-]th birthday. Although we are not in the palace, this heart must be sent. And just because we are not in the palace, It’s what we send that counts.”

He was also inspired by seeing an old man pushing a cart on the road.

Folk children are born with hundreds of clothes, a piece of cloth from the east, and a piece of rag from the west. It is said that the more families there are, the better the health of the child will be.

His umbrella has almost the same meaning as Baijiayi. He made the umbrella by himself. When he met the elderly on the road, he asked their names and ages and wrote them on the umbrella.He planned to send it back at that time, and let Fol Guochun bring it into the palace together.

Yinzhen never competes with others for financial resources, but for heart.

He pointed at Yinzhen, "Look at Uncle Nine, is he short of money?" Seeing Hongxi shaking his head, he continued, "Since there is no shortage of money, why would he rather work more for those people in exchange for that copper coin? "

Yinzhen exchanged copper coins after seeing him begging for rags, and his purpose was nothing more than his own, to give Khan Ama something with a special meaning.

Hong Xi scratched his head half-understanding, "Uncle Fourteenth, you all prepared presents, what should I prepare?" Whether it's a 'cloth umbrella' or a copper plate, they can be preserved for a long time. what he can gather.

And seeing how Uncle Fourteen and Uncle Nine humbled themselves, he didn't think he could bear the pain.You must know that they are on their way now. Although they are not in a hurry, they spend most of the time on the road every day. Fourteenth Uncle and Ninth Uncle are looking for people when they are resting.

Some people are easy to talk, and some people make things difficult for you and refuse to give you anything. This is the most annoying thing.

Brother Jiu had just asked for a copper coin and came back when he saw Hongxi’s appearance and shook his head, “Hongxi, you’re wrong if you think so. We don’t do this for the sake of getting anything, but for sincerity. With a sincere heart Even if it is only a copper plate in exchange, he is still valuable."

As he said that, Brother Jiu took a cloth strip and recorded the copper plate on it. The origin of the copper plate was written on the cloth strip.

The two didn't discuss it, but they both agreed on the number of sixty.

Hong Xi deeply felt that he had been tricked by his uncles, but fortunately he realized it was not too late, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t exchange labor for enough things like his uncles, he found another way to pay for a scholar from a poor background to write a poem praising Kangxi. Compliments.

Before the birthday, the three of them finally finished all the things, and sent them back to the capital quickly.

Hongxuan raised her eyebrows when she saw the things sent by the post station, but she didn't see that Ama was quite scheming, and she actually knew to send another gift.With this thing and what he had prepared before, he is confident that he will amaze the audience.As for Uncle Jiu and Cousin Hong Xi who were with Ama, he wasn't worried at all, even if they prepared gifts like Ama, he wasn't worried about being compared.

Foer Guochun patted his head, "It's good for Hongxuan to have self-confidence, but you can't be blindly confident. Your cousin Hongxi has been favored since childhood, so naturally he has a different status in your Han Mafa's heart, so we can't compare He doesn't care either. It's the same as your unusual position in the hearts of Ama, Erniang and Mamu."

Along with the gifts came, naturally there was a letter written by Elder Brother Fourteen. After reading the letter, Foer Guochun knew what Elder Brother Nine and Hongxi had prepared.It has to be said that Hongxi came up with this idea in a short period of time.

What does Kangxi like?

An emperor naturally likes others to sing praises, especially if this person is written by poor people.People like Kangxi would naturally feel that they are great, that they are a good and admirable emperor.

It's only normal to have a preference for Hong Xi who came up with this idea.

Hongxuan's hair was full of black lines, and he took Eniang's hand away from her head unhappily. "Emiang, where are you thinking? My son is not a child." Children are only jealous. Now that he is an adult, what he sees is this little thing in front of him?Erniang always treats him like a child, Hongxuan is very helpless.

He stretched out his hand and twisted his son's face, "Yes, you are not yet ten years old."

As soon as he said that he was under ten years old, his son was defeated.Fur Guochun smiled triumphantly.A child should have a child's life. It is not good for his son to mature himself at a young age.

In her opinion, it is fine for her son to behave like an adult when he is sensitive in political affairs; at other times, he should be like a child, playing what he should, and having the jealousy he should have, as long as he doesn't do wrong because of jealousy things will be fine.

She doesn't think it's wrong to be jealous of others, especially children, it's even more normal.

Hongxuan shook his head, he was really not jealous of his cousin, if he wanted to be jealous, he should be jealous of him, who made Hanmafa love him the most now.Hey, Er Niang is too worried about him, and he is also very helpless, he is not that guy Hongzhang.

On March [-]th, Foer Guochun took the children to the Yonghe Palace as usual,

Concubine De was washing and dressing up, and there was a phoenix hairpin on the dressing table, Foer Guochun let out a snort.This phoenix hairpin is a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin. According to regulations, only the empress is eligible to wear a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin. Counting down, there are eight imperial concubines. De concubine is a concubine and should be a six-tailed phoenix hairpin.Concubine De is very cautious and never makes mistakes in major matters, especially today is Wanshou.

Neither the mantissa nor the workmanship style of this phoenix hairpin seems to be qualified for her to wear.

Concubine De stretched out her hand to pick up the phoenix hairpin, gestured on her head, and said with a smile: "Are you shocked? Er Niang was also shocked today."

The emperor was very strict with the concubines in the harem. Back then, she was awarded the title once because of the fourth elder brother by chance. The other two times were not qualifications that were hard work.Now that she is old, she doesn't think she can attract the emperor to be appointed alone.Who in this palace doesn't know that the emperor's current favorite is the concubine Wang Shu who was born in the Han Dynasty.

The concubine Wang was also unlucky and did not catch up with the good times. Now that she has given birth to three or four princes, it is only the life of a concubine.

She asked people to inquire before, and it is true that the emperor sent palace servants to give them something today, but she was the only one who was given the seven-tailed phoenix hairpin.What did Li Dequan say at that time?

Oh, the emperor said that this phoenix hairpin was a perfect match for the concubine De, and hoped that the empress would wear it tonight.

These words are very intriguing.

Foer Guochun took it and put it on Concubine De's head, "What's the matter, it means that Ama Khan has a mother in her heart. Can't she be happy this year because Ama Khan lives her whole life?" Li Dequan definitely wouldn't dare to lie, nor would he Will get it wrong.No matter why Khan Ama gave this and Fengchai, it is a good thing.

Stretching out her hand to pat Foer Guochun's hand, Concubine De sighed, "Although our girls can't do politics, Er Niang can imagine that the previous dynasty is not peaceful in the harem. Today Er Niang is going out with this phoenix hairpin. It’s about to be carried to the cusp.”

She could imagine how those wives looked when they saw her wearing a phoenix hairpin, and she was afraid that the emperor would deliberately push them to the front to test whether they had this intention.

Foer Guochun naturally understood the meaning of Concubine De's words, she said with a smile: "Er Niang, don't worry about us, you don't know Fourth Brother's temper, his face turns cold, who dares to come forward? Don't worry, I will close the door of the mansion when I turn around, and I won't entertain any guests."

Thinking of the cold face of the fourth child, Concubine De smiled, what the fourteen family said was really appropriate.

When she said it like this, Concubine De was not entangled, and the soldiers came to cover her up. She was able to climb from a court lady to her current position, what was she afraid of?

Foer Guochun came early, and not long after she arrived, Sifujin and the others arrived. Seeing her, Sifujin smiled and said, "The fourteenth brothers and sisters came so early, it seems that we are lazy."

"Who doesn't know that the fourth sister-in-law is the most diligent in Prince Fujin, if the fourth sister-in-law is lazy, what will happen to us? I'm staying in the mansion and have nothing to do, so why don't I come here early to bother my mother?"

Concubine De also laughed, she pointed at Si Fujin, "Your fourth sister-in-law probably thinks that you didn't bother her, and you should go to her house more often in the future to see if she is still sore."

Thirteen Fujin also interjected, "Don't be afraid if Sisister-in-law finds it annoying, you can come to me anyway, I will not bother you."

After saying this, everyone sat together laughing again.

"Fourteenth brother and sister, have you prepared the birthday gift for Khan Ama properly?" The fourteenth brother was not here, and Si Fujin was very worried about it. She had asked before, and the fourteenth brother and sister said that they had already prepared it.But fourth master was still a little worried, so he asked himself to bring an antique over.

Foer Guochun knew it was a good item at a glance, "I'll be the host and thank my fourth brother and sister-in-law well. You don't have to worry about the birthday gift. I guarantee that the one prepared by our family is the only one."

"Okay, we are all waiting to see the only copy of the fourteenth sibling."

Looking at Foer Guochun's appearance, he knew that he was not lying. At this time, even De Fei became curious.It's a pity that no matter who asks her, she just doesn't tell her.

This year, the Elder Brothers of the Longevity Emperor have prepared very uniquely. Even the elder brother did not know where to find sixty elderly people of the same year and the same month.

"Because I didn't receive Khan Ama's order, my son put these sixty old people in a carriage outside the palace gate and waited. If Khan Ama is willing, I can invite you to see me."

Kangxi was very happy that someone could celebrate his birthday with him, "Okay, go and invite them in. Li Dequan, go and ask the imperial dining room to prepare a few more tables of food for them." An old man like him, he nodded to the elder brother , "Boss, you have a heart, not bad."

"This is what a son should do, as long as Ama Khan is happy." After he finished speaking, he gave Yinfeng a provocative look, which meant that it was obvious that you should come up with an ingenious gift if you have the ability.

Apparently he still remembers the congratulatory gift that Yinfeng and Hongxi made on the fifteenth day.

Yinfeng rolled his eyes indecently, the eldest brother really is, even at this time, he still doesn't forget to keep an eye on him.This time Yinreng was not preparing any calligraphy and painting, that kind of gift was enough once, and it would be boring if there were too many.

He brought Hong Jin and other children to have a happy kiss in Caiyi. After the dance, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head secretly.

However, the matter was not over yet, he panted and said, "Hong Xi didn't make it back, but he sent someone to bring the present." He motioned to Hong Jin behind him to bring up the things, and he continued, "This kid doesn't come back either. Knowing where the idea came from, he found some poor scholars to write praises to Khan Ama."

"Every scholar here has real talent and learning. It is because of the burden of the family that he can't continue to make progress. It is also difficult for Hongxi. He searched for a long time to get 57 people together. Finally, he had no choice but to write an article by himself. Put it in. I asked the ninth brother and the fourteenth brother for help, and finally made up the number of sixty."

Every scholar has his address and name. Yinfeng knew that the child didn't think about it at first. Maybe he realized it after seeing the fourteenth and ninth brothers preparing gifts. I made up 57 copies before my birthday.

Kangxi listened and watched on the spot. He was really curious about what these people would say.

Well, now it's not just the eldest brother, but the third elder brother is starting to hate Yinfeng.

The time for the princes to present gifts was very fast, even if they were delayed in Yinfeng for a while, they arrived at Foer Guochun's family very quickly.

Everyone's focus was on Hongxuan who took the lead.

They don't believe that elder brother Hongxi has nothing to bring back with respect to elder brother Hongxi's compliment and elder brother nine at the back to collect [-] copper coins.

Kangxi looked at the grown-up Hongxuan with great interest, "Hongxuan, what did your Mama bring?" Instead of asking what the mansion had prepared, he became curious about Shisi's gift.

Hongxuan saluted with his younger siblings, and then signaled Hongxuan to bring the things over.In front of everyone, he opened the cloth in that layer of words, revealing the colorful things inside.

"what is this?"

"I don't know, it looks like an umbrella."

Hongxuan didn't give a shit either, he opened the 'flower umbrella' and turned it around twice, then said: "This is the 'Wanmin umbrella' made of rags that Ama specially bought from poor farmers. The whole umbrella is 63 pieces. It is made of 65 pieces of rags, all stitched by Ama himself, and there are blessings from [-] elderly people invited by Ama on the umbrella, the youngest of whom is [-]."

It is not easy for the ancients to live to more than 40 years, let alone sixty sixties. The 60 people that his Ama found are not easy.
