The fourteenth blessing of the koi carp in the Qing Dynasty

There are not many things in the Ministry of Industry now. Before, Lao Jiu handled it well by himself, and it was easier for Yinzhen and Brother Shi to come back.The three brothers often sat down and drank tea and chatted after ordering things down.Sometimes they even hide from each other not to be on errands.

When Yinzhen didn't go to work for the first time, she also said, "Be careful, Khan Ama will reprimand you if you know it." As a result, he came back for several months and Kangxi acted as if he didn't know about it, and never looked for him.

On the day Buyechuk came to the mansion, Yinzhen went to Kangxi's Hall of Mental Cultivation openly, and he wanted to ask for leave.

"What did you say?" Kangxi thought he had heard it wrong, and clasped his ears.

"Khan Ama, you heard me right, my son is going to ask for a few days off." Yinzhen said seriously and confidently, his daughter just came to the mansion and he wants to ask for leave to take care of the child at home.

Kangxi laughed angrily. The majestic elder brother takes care of the children at home. What do the nuns and maids in his mansion do for food?If you look for such an excuse to be lazy, you will naturally not be granted.

Yinzhen didn't care too much, if he failed once, he would come twice, he would come to tell the emperor once every few days, and come to look for it every few days.

On this day, Kangxi finished approving the memorial early, and he had a whim, "Li Dequan, let's go, let's go to Shishi's mansion." He remembered that Shishi Muxiu came today.Fourteen didn't mean to take care of the child at home, but he wanted to see how the other party took care of the child.

Perhaps Kangxi himself didn't realize that he treated Shisi a little differently from other sons. The tone of his speech really treated the other party as a son, and it was Amma's dissatisfaction with his son's "not motivated".Instead of being like the boss and the others, the first sight is to be defensive, just to think about whether the son has other intentions in doing this.

Kangxi himself didn't realize that Li Dequan vaguely felt this way, and he didn't know when the emperor's attitude towards Lord Fourteen began to change.He still remembered that the emperor knew that the fourteenth elder brother and three were spending their days leisurely in the Ministry of Industry, so he called the fourteenth master to reprimand him alone.Said that he was so lazy at such a young age, since he was so free, he just read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" several times.

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian", this is not a book that can be read casually. Only the emperor can learn it. He remembered that only the prince had studied this book since he was a child.At that time, the prince was the prince and the future emperor, so it is naturally possible to read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

At that time, he suspected, could it be that the emperor prefers the fourteenth elder brother?

Afterwards, he observed carefully, and finally he discovered the difference between the emperor and the fourteenth elder brother.The emperor would often summon the elder brothers in private, and he would ask the elder brothers about some political matters. In the past few years, when he summoned, he mostly reprimanded the elder brothers.Although the fourteenth elder brother will also be reprimanded, the point of reprimand by the emperor is different.

Why is it different?When the other elder brothers left, the emperor would ask in a habitual way: Li Dequan, what do you mean by him? Do you think that Yinfeng has been abolished and I can only choose him as the crown prince?

When it came to Brother Fourteen, the Emperor said instead: Your Fourteenth Master still has too little experience, what if the Qing Dynasty is handed over to him?

Fortunately, this time, I have to go directly to the Fourteenth Prince's mansion, which has not happened for many years.And the only one who can have this honor is when the elder brother first opened the mansion, the other elder brothers don't remember that the emperor has been there.

Li Dequan lowered his head and thought, Brother Fourteen is really good, it seems that he is going to change his attitude towards Brother Fourteen.

The emperor went out as soon as he said he would go, and he brought a few people to the gate of the Fourteenth Mansion in light clothes.

"Who is it?" Wei Pingan hurried over to open the door when he heard the knock.I thought it was Master Jiu and Master Shi who came, and when he opened the door, he wanted to tease a few words, but a smile just came to his face, and when he looked down on the person standing in front of him, he was so scared that he almost sat on the ground, "Huang, Huang"

"Fourteen is in the mansion." Wei Pingan interrupted what he hadn't said yet. He is in a micro-service today and just wants to make a surprise attack. Wei Pingan can't let Wei Pingan call out his identity.

Wei Pingan understood the meaning in his eyes, knelt and crawled aside, "Yes, yes, yes, you, please." At this time, the master must be in the backyard with Fujin.

When the emperor passed by, he closed the door and hurriedly followed, thinking that it was over, my Fourteenth Lord, please don't do anything out of the ordinary.

He knew that the fourteenth master and his wife had a good relationship, and when they were together, they were always the same age. He had the honor of seeing the fourteenth master ride Fujin's horse and climb around with Fujin on his back.

The Fourteenth Lord said it was a couple's emotion, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.They are afraid of being seen by the emperor, and they, Fujin, will not be scolded by the emperor when the time comes.

Grandpa, Manager Li has been staring at me all the time. I didn't even have a chance to give you a tip-off. You can ask the Buddha to bless you.

Fourteen, who was missed by Wei Pingan, sneezed, and Foer Guochun got off his back, "Did you catch a cold?" The two of them were playing a little crazy, and Foer Guochun wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.

This is their special room for playing. There is only a set of tables and chairs on the side of the room, and thick blankets are covered in other places to facilitate children's crawling.

At this time, seeing Fur Guochun coming down, their daughter pointed at Fourteen and yelled, and Buyecchuk walked over, "Ama, get down quickly, my sister is going to ride a horse." The little girl heard the horse riding The two words are also very excited, ahh, screaming and echoing.

Yinzhen wiped the sweat off his face, and tucked the hem of his clothes back to his waist again. "Hehe, the little girl is not very big, she has a lot of ghosts, just wait." As he said that, he lay down again, "You two come up together." The two children are not as heavy as his Fujin. All four little guys are fine.

Fur Guochun stepped forward to put her little daughter in front, and Buyecuk climbed up to sit in the back. She put her arms around her sister and said loudly: "Ama, we are ready." After speaking, she moved her short legs Clamped a bit, and shouted 'drive' in his mouth.

Kangxi came in at this time. His son was lying on the ground like a horse, and the two little girls on it were happy, and there were two little girls beside him. One of them was struggling to climb up, and the other, the other was actually climbing Spank him?

The one kneeling on the ground next to her is her daughter-in-law, right?He was laughing in a very disfigured way, and cheered on his sons while laughing.

Kangxi's eyes widened in disbelief.So, this is what Yinzhen said to go home and take the children?Is this how he raised the child?

The sound of pushing the door was not soft, and the people in the room subconsciously looked at the door. When they saw the person coming, Buyecuk fell down in fright.Even though she is young, she was deeply impressed by Kangxi, this person she should call Khan Mafa, once scolded her Ama (Prince) so much that she couldn't straighten up.She still remembers his face at that time.

Seeing her trembling from the corner of the eye, Foer Guochun held her in his arms, "Good boy, don't be afraid. This is your Khan Mafa, um, your Ama's Ama, we are a family, not bad people .”

Yinzhen supported the little daughter on his back with one hand, slowly put the child down, and greeted Kangxi like this.

Kangxi really smiled. He pointed at Yinzhen, "Is this what you call going home to take care of the children?"

Yinzhen nodded indifferently, "Khan Ama, you used to say that you envied the lives of ordinary people. My son didn't understand it before, but now he understands it. My son was fortunate to have seen the process of father and son getting along with ordinary people. The father of that family This is often the case. Khan Ama, do you know? Their father-son relationship is very good."

"The father told his son that it is not enough to be a strict father, so that the child will be afraid of you. Only when it should be serious, and play with the child at other times, the child will treat you sincerely."

"My son was dubious at the beginning. You also know that my son didn't get along with Hongxuan and the others very much. This time when I came back, I obviously felt that they were not close enough to my son. The son suddenly thought of what the father said and tried to play with them. Guess what? ?”

He raised his head proudly, "Now the sons will come to play with him when they come back from the palace, and they are much closer to him."

The Kangxi who said this didn't know what to say about him. He did say that he yearned for the life of the common people before, especially after his son grew up.What he didn't expect was that Yinzhen did what he thought and did as he thought.Manchus pay attention to holding grandchildren but not children. Frankly speaking, he never hugged Yinfeng even when he loved him the most, let alone riding a horse for children like Yinzhen.

After dismissing Li Dequan and the people who led the way, he also sat on the ground and waved to the people around Yinzhen. Except for Buyechuk, the three little ones tilted their heads and looked at him for a few times, then crawled over and dragged Yinzhen. his clothes.

Kangxi was not angry either, and held the child in his arms.The little girl didn't recognize her birth, grabbed her clothes and pushed them away, shouting 'horse, horse'.

Fur Guochun broke out in a cold sweat, this little girl is really bold, she thought everyone was her Ama.Kangxi is the kind who will be used as a horse?Don't make him angry at that time.

Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand to hug him back, and said at the same time: "Khan Ama..." Seeing that Kangxi actually picked him up, she stuck in her mouth with the words "children are young and ignorant" '.

"Yinzhen, come here," he actually got down on the ground.

Get down? ? ?

Foer Guochun's eyes widened. Is this really the Kangxi she knew?

Not only her, Yinzhen also felt incredible.

"Why, I'm also their Khan Mafa, so I can't play with them?" Kangxi lowered his face, what kind of expression did the 14 couple make, they looked like ghosts.

He really envied the life of ordinary people, and he has always yearned for it.In fact, before he came in, he heard laughter from the room, and that sound made people feel happy.He knew it was a heartfelt laugh.

Although he didn't want to admit that he had lived for 60 years, and someone had smiled at her during that time, but it had never made him feel sincere like now.

He was in a good mood today, and it was rare for him to let go of his identity and plan to play with his grandchildren, so Fourteen just looked at him like this.

With a cold snort, Kangxi planned to get up.

Fourteen quickly walked over and put the little girl on his back. Kangxi froze for a while, then tried to take two steps forward, the little girl on his back giggled.

After taking these two crucial steps, Kangxi gradually let go, and really brought up the child with Yinzhen in the house.

Fol Guochun sneaked out of the room, who knows what kind of nerves Kangxi is having today, if he has another convulsion one day, he feels that he will be in trouble after seeing her joke.

When she got out of the room, she saw Li Dequan guarding the door, she asked in a low voice: "Director Li, is Khan Ama going to eat at the mansion today? I wonder if Khan Ama has any restrictions?"

The moment Foer Guochun opened the door just now, Li Dequan saw what was going on in the room, he was still in shock and did not recover.Hearing Fol Guochun's words, he subconsciously turned around and realized what she said.Li Dequan looked at the sky, "The emperor never said that there is such an arrangement before leaving the palace, but Fujin can make preparations first."

It was not early when they left the palace, and seeing that the emperor was in high spirits, it was uncertain when they would go back. It was better to prepare in advance than to wait for the emperor to stay and do it first.

After asking the taboo clearly, she asked the kitchen to draw up a menu. Fol Guochun didn't cook many dishes. Thinking of the emperor's attitude today, she boldly asked people to make more than a dozen home-cooked dishes, and there were only three left. Four course specials.

Looking at the menu, Li Dequan glanced at Foer Guochun in surprise, "Is there anything to say about this menu?" Braised eggplant in soy sauce and cucumber in cold salad, could it be that the ingredients are particular?

Foer Guochun shook her head, "No, it's the most common home-cooked dish." She knew that some people used a lot of broth to make eggplants, so would the eggplants be still eggplants?Since she said it was a home-cooked dish, it was a very common ingredient, eaten by ordinary people.If it is special, it is that these dishes of hers are all produced in her own village, and they taste very good.

If the emperor is not used to eating, those special dishes can also satisfy his appetite.

"I think the emperor has a good chat with our master. It may take a while for them to come out. If the manager is worried, you can go and taste the dishes first." Li Dequan is the emperor's confidant.

Looking at the room, Li Dequan still shook his head, the emperor can't leave people here, besides, he believes that the Fourteen Fujin who can be favored by the fourteenth elder brother alone is smart, and won't do things like digging his own grave.

Seeing Li Dequan's insistence, Foer Guochun did not insist.

When the dishes were almost ready, she knocked on the door, "Khan Ama, the food and wine are ready, do you want to eat?"

Seeing Foer Guochun Kangxi was still a little uncomfortable, but fortunately she knocked on the door in advance, otherwise seeing Kangxi crawling around the house with a few children would definitely doubt life.

Several people were sweating profusely from playing, and even Buyechuk was not so afraid of Kangxi, chasing after him, shouting Khan Mafa, Khan Mafa.

Yinzhen took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. It was twelve o'clock and it was time for dinner.He looked at Kangxi, who wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, nodded, "Then have dinner."

Immediately after that, someone came in to take care of the grooming, and Foer Guochun carried the children over to wash them first, and then she herself.

"Khan Ama, today my daughter-in-law decided to let the kitchen cook some home-cooked dishes. You can try them." After introducing the dishes, she took the children away, and did not stay to eat with the two of them.There is no way the rules are like this, Kangxi will not keep anyone, she will naturally go back and eat by herself.

Fortunately, Yinzhen has eaten these dishes before, so he can talk about them.

Yinzhen didn't have anyone to serve him. Li Dequan originally wanted to serve Kangxi with vegetables, but Kangxi stopped him. "You go down to eat too, what are you worried about at the Fourteenth House?"

Today's experience is quite novel. Kangxi's good mood has been up until now. Now that Yinzhen doesn't need someone to serve him, he plans to pick up his own food, but also thinks that these are home-cooked dishes. Who usually eats with someone serving him?

As he said that, he picked up his chopsticks. He actually knew all the dishes on the table. After looking at them, he finally chose the cucumber that was closest to him.Gongli's cold cucumber has minced meat in it, and it tastes like meat in your mouth, even the cucumber.The cucumber on the table has no flesh at all, but there is something white with a pink skin.

After chewing it lightly a few times, his eyes lit up, "Not bad." His mouth was full of the fragrance of cucumber. To be honest, it was the first time he knew that cucumber tasted like this.

"The chef in my house is not as particular about cooking as in the palace. What we eat is the original taste. This cucumber is grown by my son Zhuangzi, and the one inside is Lapi, which I, Fujin, have people figure out. This dish is summer It’s cool to eat.” In the hot summer, they put the vegetables in the well and chilled them before cooking.It feels cool to eat.

In the current weather, the cucumber was not chilled with water. Hearing Yinzhen's tongue-in-cheek, Kangxi took another so-called skin-lift with his chopsticks, and then nodded.

"Try this again. The chicken is stewed with mushrooms. The mushrooms are picked from the mountains in Shengjing and dried, and the chickens are free-range in Zhuangzi." seasoning.

Kangxi took a look at Yinzhen, and took a bite out of face, "Fresh."

It stands to reason that the cooking skills of the royal chefs in the palace must be better than those outside, but the meal he ate today was delicious because of his memory.There were not many dishes on the table, only 22. If he used to follow the rules in the palace, he would eat at most three mouthfuls of each dish, and he would never order a fourth.

Today I ate alone with Yinzhen, seeing his son eating big mouthfuls, he felt hungry, and unknowingly ate a few more mouthfuls, and when he realized it, he didn't remember how many mouthfuls he took of a dish.Then I thought about it, there are too many exceptions today, and I don't care about this one more time.

Before he knew it, he and Yinzhen ate up all 22 dishes.

"Han Ama, my son has a lot of emotions during the battle in Shengjing this time. You see, we eat dozens of dishes every time, and they are not the same. Do you know what the people in Shengjing eat? To entertain guests, eight dishes is considered a rich and luxurious life. In ordinary life, one meal is one dish."

"My son was thinking, how can one dish be enough to eat? But the whole family eats it with gusto." There was a young son in that family, who didn't know how to hide his emotions, and when he saw him surprised, he showed disdainful eyes .

"It was also at that time that my son knew how happy he was." It was also at that time that he began to reflect on whether it was right or necessary to have dozens of dishes for a meal like theirs.

The answer is no.After he came back, he made a special calculation. Just like what he is now, everything he eats is produced by Zhuangzi. If he reduces from more than twenty dishes to ten dishes, he can actually save 100 taels of silver a month.He is like this, one can imagine how much money those who need to buy outside can save.
