The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Others only thought that the fourteenth elder brother was a child at heart, and finally met his uncle at such an age, and said a few little secrets or something, isn't that what children are like.

Even the eldest mother didn't think there was anything to care about.

In the end, Xiao Shisi told about his Nan Er's affairs. The place where he moved to the palace had already been decided.

Originally, there was nothing unexpected about Wuya Boqi, and the concubine Defei had already been repaired a year ago.

But the second thing was that Wu Yaboqi, who was listening to his nephew, looked at Xiao Shisi in surprise, "How do you know him?"

"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen anyone." Little Fourteen muttered: "Uncle, if there is something wrong with him, please help me take care of him, and don't let anyone make any mistakes."

"You think highly of your uncle!" Wu Yaboqi also whispered: "That man is now a high-ranking official!"

"Is he still a high-ranking official?" Little Fourteen was a little at a loss: "What official?"

"Now he is on duty at the South Study Room, serving as a bachelor's student, casting a cannon, and sealing his wife and son, not to mention, the money rewarded by the Long Live Lord is enough for their family to be rich and noble." Wu Yabo said: " What's more, he is a famous person in front of the Long Live Lord, and even Master Nan said that his son and mother are very delicate."

The "Master Nan" that Wu Yaboqi spoke of was the missionary Nan Huairen.

"That's now, you'll know in the future." Little Fourteen pursed his lips: "It's not a good thing to talk to Mr. Nan in the future."

"Master Nan is a foreigner. I heard that he came to Daqing from a far away place just to preach, oh, and he has a lot of interesting knowledge." Wu Yabo said with a smile: "But Mr. Dai, don't worry. Your uncle can't help him now, but it doesn't mean he won't be able to help him in the future."

Little Fourteen was finally relieved, but Wuya Yuese also came back: "The slave exchanged all the money for you, and you got 650 taels of gold in total. The slave made up the whole thing for you, 700 taels."

"Oh, I got it." Xiao Shishi got off the kang: "Uncle, Yue Se, I'm going back."

Although they knew that Xiao Shisi would not be able to stay for long when he came to the House of Internal Affairs, the two of them still couldn't bear it. Wu Ya's family gave birth to a concubine De, but they rarely saw the child born to Concubine De.

What's more, seeing Concubine De.

The plot of reluctance has been staged for a long time.

When he finally left, Xiao Shishi found out that his grandma, that is, his grandmother, Concubine De's biological mother, the old lady of Wu Ya's family, Sai and Li Shi.

He is still alive and is already an old man over fifty years old.

The key is that regardless of whether the daughter gave birth to a boy or a girl in the palace, the old man would go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for his daughter and grandchildren.

So Xiao Shishi gave his uncle 50 taels of gold: "Buy some cakes for my wife!"

The moved Wu Yaboqi had tears in his eyes. A big man, holding 50 taels of gold, nodded vigorously: "Hey, hey! I must tell my wife that this is the gold given by her grandson. Buy cakes to eat, eat The best softest cake ever."

When the Fourteenth Master came to the House of Internal Affairs, there was very little movement. He didn't show his prestige and show his temper, and he didn't make a big fuss. In addition, Wu Ya Yuese quickly put people in the house. Usually, few people come here. Wu It was also a coincidence for Yaboqi, the two met Elder Fourteen, and Elder Fourteen went back.

After Wu Yaduobi came, he found that the fourteenth elder brother had already gone to the building.

Wu Yaduobi is De Fei's uncle, the grandson of Samuha, and the highest official in Wu Ya's family. He is now the deputy capital censor of the Inspectorate, and he also has the title of guarding the army.

He is considered to be the leader of Wu Ya's generation, and he is a Manchu who has participated in the imperial examination, which is rare.

But when he came, he didn't see Fourteenth Elder Brother himself, only Wu Ya Yue Se and Wu Ya Bo Qi.

The fourteenth elder brother was carried back to the Yonghe Palace, then ran back to his own Lilac Garden, kicked out everyone, counted the money by himself, and got a total of more than 1000 taels of gold.

He found a small mahogany box with a pattern of happy eyebrows carved, and put all the one or two golden pegs in it, just enough to fit it.

The wedding gift for my brother is ready, well, let's put it in the bottom of the box for his brother.

As for the remaining money, he can save it.

Don't think that the prince doesn't spend money, that's not spending money blatantly.

The people in the palace do not serve you in vain. Although everyone in the palace has a share of money, that is, a salary, in private, Xiao Shishi still wants to give a reward occasionally.

Otherwise, how to buy people's hearts?

How to boss around?

Thinking about it, life in the palace was not easy. Xiao Shishi collected the money and put the key to the money box in his pocket.

But until it was time for dinner, Concubine De didn't come back, Xiao Shishi had no choice but to eat dinner by himself, and his dinner was much simpler.

All soft steaming bowls!

Steaming bowls are generally processed into semi-finished or finished dishes of various dishes first, and can be eaten after steaming. Some of them can be stored with a bowl because the steaming time is long and the soup is dried.

Generally, there are two kinds of fat but not greasy and melt in the mouth.

To put it bluntly, the method of steaming bowls is very convenient, especially in the palace, most of the dishes take a lot of time from the pot to the table, so steaming bowls, which can maintain the temperature and are convenient and quick dishes, are very common. up.

The dishes for Brother Fourteen are eight bowls.

Dried bamboo shoots and small crispy meat steaming bowls, Sixi meatball steaming bowls, preserved vegetables and braised meat steaming bowls and braised chicken nuggets steaming bowls.

One bowl of fragrant rice, the other four bowls are cold lettuce, shallot tofu, and a bowl of plum sauce, and the remaining bowl is Shishiye’s big bone soup.

In fact, there are other things like table decorations, but the eldest mother knows that Elder Fourteen doesn't eat those at all, and doesn't like to see those things, and thinks it is a waste, so she doesn't let anyone eat them. Little Fourteen is still young, He didn't eat much, and Xiao Shishi gave the rest of the food to the people around him directly.

The rules in the palace are very strict. The slaves cannot eat very full, because being very full will make people sleepy, so they can only eat six to seven full, and sometimes they can only eat half full, and they will be called away by the master to do things.

After Little Fourteen knew this rule, he rewarded the people below him for the leftovers after eating, so that they could eat better.

Because the master's dishes are different from those of the slaves.

Although the palace is the most prosperous place in the world, the rich and honored are the masters who live in the palace, not the palace people who serve others inside.

At most, they eat better meals. Outside, they may eat meat for ten days and half a month, but they eat a meal of meat every three to five days.

It's just a meat stew, but it's much better than the outside.

But the meals of the masters are actually too much to eat, and Xiao Shishi doesn't want to waste them. If he can't eat, the subordinates can't eat enough, so why bother to torture each other.

The grandma served Elder Fourteen carefully after dinner, took a walk to digest food, and then put him to sleep. When she came out, Grandma Sun noticed that Fei Moshi did not have a key in his waist.

"What? The young master has the key?" Nanny Sun was very surprised.

"Master has a lot of money now, so of course I have to hold the key myself, but it's good, I know how to save money, and I will definitely live a prosperous life in the future." The eldest mother smiled and didn't mind at all. It seems that the fourteenth master doesn't trust her, the ordinary grandma has long been angry.

But the eldest mother knew that the fourteenth master didn't do it on purpose, and the young master just wanted to get the key by himself. She thought that the young master must have some plans and didn't want others to know.

Including the master of virtue.

"It's so young, can it do it?" It's only five years old.

"Why not? No matter how young the little master is, he is still the master." The eldest mother has her own understanding.

Grandma Sun didn't dare to say anything.

The next day Xiao Shisi woke up, washed up and went to say hello, only to see Concubine De.

"What was Er Niang busy yesterday? My son didn't see you yet." Before breakfast came, Xiao Shisi got bored with Concubine De for a while.

"Emiang went to see the Hesheli family, um, Empress Chuxiu Palace." Concubine De also hugged her youngest son and chatted with him: "Do you still remember?"

"I've heard that she is the biological mother of my son's younger brother." Although she said it a bit garrulously, she didn't put on a show.

"Yes, since that younger brother of yours left, Empress Chuxiu Palace has been in poor health, she was so sad yesterday!" Concubine De was holding her youngest son, but she still had lingering fears.

A woman in the palace, without a son, is there really no hope?

Not necessarily?Back then, she also lost her son, but she survived. Hershey's family background is so good, so she has a will to die.

Even if you don't have a son, you can regenerate!

If she hadn't survived back then, would the grass on the grave be taller than her son now?

Thinking about it, I feel scared. If the Hesheli family survives, they will not be like her sister in the future, but with the Hesheli family and the crown prince, she has more confidence than anyone else.

But all day yesterday, even though the women in the harem continued to visit, no one came to Qianqing Palace, not to mention the presence of Long Live God, and people like Liang Jiugong and Li Dequan did not come.

Don't even ask?

There is so much movement in the harem, she doesn't believe that Long Live Lord doesn't know.

"Is the Empress Chuxiu Palace better?" Little Fourteen thought for a while, "Is my son going to see her?"

"No need, Empress Chuxiu Palace wants to recuperate cleanly." In order to divert Xiao Fourteen's attention, Concubine De took her son to eat breakfast when she saw the breakfast was served.

Xiao Shisi had breakfast, and Concubine De had to deal with some palace affairs, so he went to find Xiao Shisan, the two of them read books and learned arithmetic, because of the cold winter, they basically didn't play outside much. They are all reading in the house.

When the two of them were resting at noon, Xiao Shisan and Xiao Shisi ate some snacks and asked, "Fourth Brother's Fujin is settled, and they will get married in March next year."

"Well, we're going to have a sister-in-law." The Ulanara clan that Xiaoshishi knew was only the "Queen of Filial Piety" in history, and what he knew was only the plots and personalities of the characters in a few Qing palace dramas.

The most famous ones are "A Certain Biography" and "A Certain Gong Dou", in which the Ulanaras are all shrewd and capable women.

But what puzzled him most was that such a shrewd woman didn't keep her son!

Because in history, the Ulanara clan was the luckiest among several princes who were born in Fujin, because she gave birth to a son, not only a descendant, but also the eldest son.

The eldest son!

Regardless of the abundance of princes, there is no shortage of princes Fujin, but there are not many princes Fujin who gave birth to the eldest son, usually the second or third son, or even the fourth or fifth son, who are the descendants of Fujin.

Because after the first wet dream, the general prince will arrange to serve the palace maids, and when he is a freshman, Gege will be there to serve him, and there will be more than one. Shi, a Li Shi.

Although they are all Han Chinese and come from a small family, one is gentle and the other is lively. They have very different personalities and looks. He heard people say that the fourth elder brother didn't value any one. It seems that he still wants to marry a wife wholeheartedly. Woolen cloth.

But if the fourth elder brother cared about the two princesses, he would definitely make the two princesses pregnant.

But in history, it was the Ulanara clan who was the first to give birth to a son, the eldest son!

He kept thinking, if Honghui, the descendant of the Ulanara family, was still alive, would Qianlong still be the emperor in the future?

What good does that arrogant and conceited guy have besides the time to live?

Anyway, he thought, if Honghui is a good person, he can completely keep his legitimate eldest son.

Time has entered December, the twelfth lunar month is the coldest day, and the charcoal fire in the palace is fully allocated, but this year is very cold, with several heavy snowfalls.

Xiao Shishi even paid out of his own pocket to double the charcoal fire for the people in Yonghe Palace.

The weather was too cold, so Lord Kangxi ordered more charcoal fires to be given, and Beijing Central also distributed a lot of charcoal fires.

But it's time to prepare for the New Year in the palace.

And Xiaosi ate braised fish!

"This fish is a fish caught in winter as a tribute from Chagan Lake. Your emperor Ama knew you love fish, so she sent ten fish to Yonghe. I asked someone to make one for you and sent it to your fourth brother. One." Concubine De smiled and said, "Keep it and eat slowly."

"Why haven't you eaten it before?" Little Fourteen has a good memory, and he didn't eat fish last year.

"The ones I've eaten before are just minced fish meat. They're put in egg custard for you to eat. You've never eaten a whole fish. It's very troublesome to pick out the fishbone. You're so small. Don't you worry about it?" Concubine De Coaxed the younger son.

Just look at the youngest son showing a flower-like smile: "I know, Erniang loves me the most!"

Concubine De was immediately coaxed into elation!

But although Xiao Shisi loves to eat fish, Concubine De didn't let him eat it every day, but gave him one every now and then, and he only ate a quarter of the fish, and Concubine De actually ate some of the rest. What was left was for the grandma and the others to eat.

Soon it will be the time of Chinese New Year.

Year after year passed like this, and the palace was very lively during the New Year, not only the masters, but also the servants.

And there is another good thing about Xiaoshishi's new year, his birthday in the first month.

After the birthday, after the birthday, he will officially be six years old.

It's just that on the day of his birthday, Kangxi took him to Fengxian Hall alone, hoping to seek the blessings of his ancestors, so that this son can live well, and don't suffer from misfortunes and disasters all day long. Worry.

The little Fourteen Hu was so moved, he hugged Kangxi's neck and acted like a baby, making Kangxi blush a little.

Only then did I know how clingy my youngest son is, but I also enjoyed the feeling of being relied on by my son.

Just after February [-]nd, after eating pork head meat, Concubine De called Xiao Shisan and Xiao Shisi over: "Your fourth brother will get married in March, and my palace asked you to move there this month. The place has been cleaned up. .”

"Moving to the palace this month?"

"Is the time set?"

The two children looked at Concubine De eagerly.

Concubine De smiled: "Three days later, little thirteen will move to the palace first, and little fourteen will move later."
