The fourteenth blessing of the koi carp in the Qing Dynasty

The specifications of the concubine-level carriage are different from those of their Beizi Mansion, and they are much more spacious.It was more than enough for her, Concubine De and their two children to sit together.

After getting into the carriage, Concubine De naturally hugged Hong Tun in her arms. "This journey will take a long time, and it happens that our mother and I are sitting together and talking." Pulling Foer Guochun to sit beside her, Concubine De whispered, "Good boy, I really wronged you." Since marrying Yinzhen , first lived in the palace for more than a year, and then Yinzhen went to sea, and she was left in the capital and could not go out easily.It hurts to think about it.

Concubine De really regarded Foer Guochun as her own child, so she felt wronged.She selectively forgot, not mentioning other people, saying that Sifujin and Thirteen Fujin were both trapped in the deep house and did not go out.Looking at the crown princess, this one is even worse. She has been married to the crown prince for more than ten years, and the other elder brothers would sometimes bring Fujin with her when she went out. She never went out of the palace once.

Leaning his head on Concubine De's shoulder, Foer Guochun acted coquettishly, "How could it be? Last year when my mother came to Beijing, she said that I was lucky, and that I met my mother. You are a great fortune. Whose family It’s better for a mother-in-law to bring a daughter-in-law than a biological one, and I just happened to meet them.” The first sentence refers to her birth mother, Jue Luoshi, and the latter sentence refers to Defei.

Jue Luo would go to Beijing to see her daughter with the delivery team every autumn. Seeing that her daughter lived well, she really lamented that Concubine De was a good concubine.

Concubine De laughed heartily, "That is to say, you girl, you have become my mother's person, and you still act like a baby with me." If you don't say that people pay attention to the law of fate, she thought that when she saw the portrait of Foer Guochun She was very happy, now that Foer Guochun became her daughter-in-law as she wished, she can only be happy.

Along the way, Concubine De and Fol Guochun were sitting in a carriage. She had only been to Shengjing and the capital in her life, and this was the first time she went outside. Looking out of the car window.The four heads said this sentence by sentence, and the scenery that was originally ordinary was very unusual in their mouths.It made the concubines in the same carriage a lot of interest.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good relationship, when Concubine De is staying at the guest house, someone arranges her next to her, as for the three younger elder brothers, they also sleep with them.Concubine De is very old, so she takes one little elder brother with her every night, and Fol Guochun takes the remaining two.

Although this was somewhat against the rules, Concubine De said, "The children are young and they are away from home. If something happens to them, whoever will be responsible" sent them away.

Concubine Yi saw it, and simply followed suit, and arranged Jiufu Jin between her and Concubine De, Ten Fujin next to her on the other side, and the concubine of other princes next to Ten Fujin.In this way, several people can have a support together.

From the capital to Tianjinwei, the group of them walked for more than a month, and the weather was slightly cold when they arrived.

"Sir ministers (servants, ministers) pay homage to Khan Ama (emperor)" was led by the ninth elder brother Yinzhen, and the three emperor elder brothers, together with some officials of Tianjin Wei, were waiting at the gate of the city early.

The guards opened the front yellow curtain first, revealing the majestic Emperor Kangxi sitting inside. "Get up." As he said that, he himself got up and prepared to get off the carriage.

The clever little eunuch knelt beside the carriage, and Kangxi stepped on his back and walked down to an official. "It's the first time I've come to Tianjin Wei, and I've heard a lot along the way. Aiqing manages well."

Being praised by Kangxi, the official was so excited that he couldn't speak smoothly.

Yinzhen took a step forward, "Khan Ama was exhausted all the way, why not go to the palace to rest first." It is said that the palace is actually the mansion of a certain high official in the previous dynasty. Ever since he learned that Kangxi was coming, Yinzhen took people to clean it out .

Yinzhen is not an official at the bottom, he is very clear about money calculations, and the arrangement cost only ten thousand taels of silver.However, the decoration is not much worse than other palaces.

Listening to Yinzhen's introduction, Kangxi scolded the officials who had picked him up before.He has also seen those IOUs. The officials who picked up the driver before took hundreds of thousands of taels of money from the treasury. Look at their arrangements and then look at Lao Jiu.

They swallowed all the money they co-authored into their own pockets?

The three of Yinzhen don't know that they are not in the capital, and the court has changed a lot in the past two years.

Everyone thought that the eighth elder brother was over like this, but last year, Emperor Enke suddenly selected a lot of talents, and in the past two years, some people have been replaced one after another.

At first, the courtiers didn't think about that matter.

The reasons why the emperor replaced these people were all kinds of strange. It wasn't until someone sorted out the list that they found that these people had a common characteristic: the supporters of the eighth elder brother, who had a lot of money but borrowed money from the treasury and didn't pay it back.

The emperor of love doesn't care about it or waits for the fall to settle accounts.

Look at these newcomers, who is not grateful to the emperor and maintains loyalty.The rest of them are afraid that the emperor will wait to find out their faults, one by one is like a competition, scrambling to pay back the money.

Now that the national treasury is full, those ministers who borrowed money have paid off almost all their money except those who really couldn't afford it.

Although the three of Yinzhen did not do this, Kangxi also gave the three of them a share of the credit. After all, without them taking the lead in "nonsense", it is impossible for Yinzi to come back so soon.

There are quite a few small courtyards in the Xinggong, which is just right for everyone to live in, and the three of Brother Jiu have a simple mansion in the local area, and the three of Foer Guochun did not go to the Xinggong to live, but moved to their residence.

Regarding this, the emperor didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.

The brothers of the emperor came here for business, they were either discussing matters in the palace every day, or they were going to the pier to observe.The concubine of the prince who came along had no one to lead them and could only live in the palace.At this time, many people began to regret that there were too few places to visit in the palace, and it was better to stay in the capital if they were so frustrated.

Concubine De is used to this kind of occasion, so it's okay.Foer Guochun felt that it was rare to come out once, which was a pity.After thinking about it, he boldly asked Yinzhen to tell the emperor to invite Concubine De to visit the mansion for a day.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Kangxi actually agreed, not only Concubine De, but also Concubine Yi and others can go out for a stroll if they want to.

He said what he said, but no one dared to go out and wander around.

Knowing that Concubine De was going to visit Fourteen's mansion, Concubine Yi also followed, she also wanted to visit Lao Jiu's mansion.Back then, Jiu Fujin gave Lao Jiu her heart and soul, and she went to see if there were any goblins in the mansion to support Dong E's family by the way, saving everyone from treating themselves as hostesses to Dong E's family.

The accompanying nobles, Chang Zai, and elder brother's concubine also wanted to go with Concubine De for some reason.Concubine De took a few glances at them, only seeing them uncomfortable, then she agreed with a chuckle.

What if she didn't know what these people were thinking?Fourteen had a good relationship with Fol Guochun, so she wasn't worried at all.

It was also a coincidence that as soon as the group of them sat down in Shisi's mansion, there was a commotion at the door.I saw a foreign woman walking in imposingly, and asked in lame words: "Who are you and why are you here?"

The scene was very quiet, everyone secretly looked at Fol Guochun, as if they were waiting to see her joke.

This foreign girl is not as good-looking as Fol Guochun, but the fourteenth elder brother has not returned to Beijing for two years, so there is no guarantee that she will not have any needs.There are no delicacies, it is not impossible to have some porridge and side dishes for a change.

Looking at this girl's dress is completely different from theirs, with a large area of ​​skin exposed on her chest, her entire chest is about to come out, as a man, I can't help but look at it a few more times, but as a woman, everyone's eyes are also a bit contemptuous.

Foer Guochun is the mistress of the mansion, no one else said anything, Concubine De wanted to support Foer Guochun, she nodded to the maid beside her.

The court lady understood and looked at the foreign woman sharply. "The one next to me is the Empress Concubine De of the Qing Emperor, this is the Empress Yi Concubine, and over there are the ninth elder brother Fujin, the tenth elder brother Fujin, and the fourteenth elder brother Fujin. Who are you? It is a serious crime to break into other people's residences with permission, since you have come to the Qing Dynasty, how can you not abide by the rules of the Qing Dynasty."

The palace maid said a lot, Mary, that is, the foreign woman didn't understand anything else, but she understood the fourteen Fujin.She knew that Elder Brother Huang's wife was called Fujin, and Fourteenth Fujin was Elder Fourteen's wife.She puffed up her chest and said proudly, "I am the granddaughter of Jason the builder, Mary."

Jason the builder was the gringo that Fourteen had rescued.When she said this, she thought she would see the admiring eyes of these people, but they looked blank, as if they didn't know who Jason was.

Jason was not so famous before, but this time he came back, he was just symbolically praised by the fourteenth brother, "Thanks to Master Jason".

She thought that Yinzhen's words were an acknowledgment that Jason thought he was great, but he didn't know the knowledge of Qing culture.Yinzhen said this purely out of politeness, even without Jason and the others, they could still build the boat.

Seeing that other people's attitude towards Jason was much better because of Brother Huang's praise, Mary became proud.

At this time, she realized that these people didn't know Jason, her face was a little ugly, and then she said, "I am the woman of the fourteenth brother." Didn't the fourteenth brother belong to the royal family, they should know it.

At that time, the fourteenth brother saved Jason, and also saved Jisen's little granddaughter, Mary.Mary has just turned 13 years old. She has suffered a lot since she was a child, and she has always fantasized about a god coming to save her.Although the fourteenth brother is not for her, she still regards the fourteenth brother as a god in her heart.

There are many foreigners in Tianjin Wei, and she has also seen people from the Qing Dynasty marrying foreign family members.Brother Fourteen saved her, and she took it for granted that she was Fourteen's woman.

She said this, but it didn't bring much impact to everyone.Forget about others, Shi Fujin ate a lot of snacks and was drinking tea at the moment, when the tea spewed out of his mouth after hearing this, he almost choked her.

After coughing a few times, Shi Fujin was a little embarrassed.She thinks that she and Foer Guochun are good sisters, and she is very upset when she sees someone trying to get involved in the relationship between Foer Guochun and Fourteen. "What did you say? I said you girl really doesn't know shame. You can talk about whoever you want, the fourteenth brother. Tell me, did you come here on purpose because you saw that the fourteenth brother is valuable and knew that we are all here today?" Act like this."

Fourteenth brother's woman, this foreigner really dare to say.

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Fol Guochun, "Fourteenth brother and sister, you have to trust the character of the fourteenth brother, he will definitely not do such a thing." She originally wanted to say that she would not betray you, but turned her head Seeing that Concubine De felt that this was inappropriate, she changed it to not do such a thing.

Foer Guochun certainly knew that Fourteen had nothing to do with the woman in front of him.On the first night of their reunion, Yinzhen tossed her half to death, and said that she hadn't eaten meat for two years, so she wanted to take this opportunity to have a full meal.

Afraid she wouldn't believe it, he also said that not only him but also Brother Nine and Brother Ten were like this. The three of them lived with those sailors in Tianjin Wei, and they also lived in the military camp.The barracks rules are strict, and women are not allowed.

They are usually trained in the shipyard or in the military camp. They can't wait for one day to be used as two days. Where can they find women when they have time.Even this mansion, knowing they were coming, bought it in a hurry after receiving the letter.

That is to say, Foer Guochun is here, otherwise Yinzhen probably forgot that he is a normal man with needs.

Therefore, even if Shi Fujin didn't say this, she still didn't believe the woman in front of her.

Of course, as a woman, she can also see that this woman named Mary is interested in Yinzhen.However, she is willing to share other things, but men are not.

Seeing Shi Fujin anxious to comfort her, she was moved, "Sister-in-law Shi, you think I'm such a stupid person, what others say will mean nothing?"

Immediately afterwards, she turned her head to look at Mary and acted quite magnanimously, "Mary, right? After all, you are a foreigner, and you probably don't understand the rules of our Manchurian population. Fourteenth brother is a royal family, and the crime of trespassing on his mansion is not light , especially if you still try to cling to him. Since you are still young, I don’t need to pursue it today, but I advise you not to say such things in the future, so as not to cause trouble to your family.”

"We have a lot of talents in the Qing Dynasty. It is not easy for your family to be reused here. Don't ruin their hard-won stable life because of your greed."

Foer Guochun is really not worried, Man and Han are not allowed to intermarry, let alone a foreigner.Would Yinzhen make such a mistake?

Everyone else was waiting to see Foer Guochun's joke, but in the end she settled the matter with a few light words, and she didn't mean to be angry at all.

Some people were puzzled and asked the question in their hearts. In their opinion, there is no way a man is not stealthy. Even if Foer Guochun is beautiful, she is not around after all.

Fol Guochun chuckled, "It's very simple, because the fourteenth masters have either sailed at sea or lived in military camps for the past two years." Going to the ocean is not that simple, the most important thing is to understand water and be familiar with water warfare.Neither Yinzhen nor Brother Shi knows anything about this, so they can only learn from scratch.

Even if they feel that they don't have enough time to learn water warfare, how can they find time to find a woman, or such a foreign woman.Besides, it was easier when they were in the ocean. I heard from Yinzhen that they were busier than when they were in Tianjin Wei. There were many pirates at sea, and they were too late to take precautions. How could they have time to think about personal matters.

Concubine Yi slapped her thigh, "That's right, Yinzhen said that." Yinzhen loves beauties, and she cares more about his life than Concubine De.When she first learned that Yinzhen had been a vegetarian for two years, she was surprised, and she even suspected that her son had been dropped.

This kind of Yinzhen is really not like him before.

At this time, everyone looked at Concubine De and Foer Guochun who were sitting upright, and they understood that they already knew that the foreign woman was lying, and they jumped out anxiously. Laugh at them.

Those women who wanted to see Foer Guochun's joke felt uncomfortable for a moment, and were speechless in embarrassment.

Then in front of the big guy, Concubine De asked about Yinzhen.

"Mary? Who is there? There is such a person in our house?" He said the last sentence while looking at Folgochon, and looking at his expression, he really didn't look like he was lying.

Therefore,

That foreign woman made a fuss for a long time, she was really self-indulgent, the fourteenth elder brother didn't even remember that there was a person like her.

Fur Guochun snickered, "What a ruthless fourteenth master, if Mary knows this, she won't know how sad she is." After the joke, she said solemnly, "We don't know her either, but she said she What's grandpa's name, Jason."

Jason, Yinzhen nodded, he did have such a foreign builder under his command.
