The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The second entrance of Sai and Li's hospital is the place where Concubine De lived.

The fourteenth elder brother took a look. This courtyard is relatively large, there is a big apricot tree, and there are two Taiping water tanks. It is said that Wanlian will be raised in summer.

A series of three main rooms, with a three-room east wing.

The main room was for Concubine De, and the wing room lived in the maids and mother-in-law who served Concubine De.

The middle is the main hall, the east is the bedroom, and the west is the embroidery room.

If girls don't have a study room, they have an embroidery room.

The things in the room can be seen to be old objects, not very popular, but there are still fresh snacks and dried fruits on the kang table in the east room, as well as a lot of melon seeds and peanuts!

There is also a basket for needlework on the fire kang in the Westinghouse’s embroidery room, and there are half-embroidered handkerchiefs in it. The little cloth tiger is made for the younger brother to play with. The eyes are not inlaid pearls, but embroidered with silk thread, not as smart and beautiful as the pearl decoration, but there is a sense of intimacy.

If she's not a real sister, she won't be as thoughtful as she thinks.

"Mama sent someone to clean up here again, and even changed the dim sum by herself!" The honest child Wu Ya Xiangyong looked at the dim sum on the kang table several times.

On the kang table was a plate of Saqima, a plate of white sugar cake, a plate of bean noodles, a plate of raisins, a plate of melon seeds, and a plate of hanging stove peanuts.

The fourteenth elder brother didn't say a word, and pulled the eldest cousin to the kang: "Let's chat with each other too, by the way, Xiangyong, you are ten years old this year, have you gone to school?"

"I'm here, I'm studying in a school outside." Wu Ya Xiangyong said again: "Little cousin, let's not come up and sit around, why don't you let us go."

"It's okay, she will agree with me to sit here for a while." Elder Fourteen handed the bean noodles to Xiangyong: "Eat!"

Crow Xiangyong was surprised: "Little cousin, how do you know I like this?"

Bean noodle pastry is his favorite, but others have a weak spleen and stomach, so he is generally not allowed to eat more, and he is given two at most.

"Eat it, I like it too, but my mother-in-law also cares about me." Fourteenth elder brother really likes to eat bean noodles, and his favorite is to eat it with sugar.

The two brothers immediately had a common language.

When returning from the backyard to the front yard, the shoulders can already be hooked.

Wu Yayuese came to give New Year's gifts, sat for a while and then left. He gave Wu Yaboqi's family a meat pig, five meat sheep, a dozen big geese, and two scarlet satin cloth sprinkled with gold. , two bolts of red silk and a dozen bolts of ordinary cloth.

There are several boxes of snacks, and there are several big fish in a big basket.

The old lady became interested and asked to melt the big fish. She wanted to stew a big fish for her grandson.

"Grandma, I don't want to eat big fish, I want to eat stewed eggplant with catfish." The fourteenth elder brother acted like a baby. He loved to eat eggplant stewed with catfish when he was a child in his previous life. Now there is no fresh eggplant and he can only use dried eggplant.

Because catfish are rich in oil and water, when I was a child in the orphanage, the food on it was not so oily.

Moreover, the spines of the catfish are soft and the meat is fatty. Children love to eat stewed eggplant. At that time, the fat uncle in the back kitchen would stew it every now and then.

It's delicious and has a lot of aftertaste.

But he traveled to the Qing Dynasty, and he hasn't tasted that taste yet!

Fish can be eaten in the garden, but there are still very few catfish. Garlic-roasted catfish, braised catfish in soy sauce, few people will make catfish stewed eggplant for him.

"Wait, grandma will make it for you!" Sai and Richter changed their skills without saying a word.

The old lady is indeed good at cooking fish. The dried eggplant soaked at home has stewed several catfish that are as long as an arm.

Meile's meat bones are also cooked in a big pot, they are big bones with original flavor, they are served hot, and then everyone does it by themselves, tear the meat out by hand in a bowl, dip it in garlic soy sauce and eat it.

The fourteenth elder brother ate this meal with smiles on his face, almost holding on. When he left, he also took a lot of meat and bones, stewed catfish and dried eggplant, which was eaten up by a group of them.

Although Wu Ya's family was reluctant, Brother Fourteen would go back after all, but he also promised that he would run out to see grandma again when he had the opportunity.

The night was dark, the carriage was much lighter than when it came, and it returned to the palace with the aroma of food.

After returning from Wu Ya's house, the fourteenth elder brother was in a good mood, bouncing back to the elder brother's place, very happy, and at night he slept with the tiger pillow his grandma gave him.

It was just that she was called to Yonghe Palace the next day by Concubine De.

"You went to your uncle's house?" Concubine De was talking to Brother Fourteen with a straight face.

"Yeah, I also saw grandma, Er Niang, you and Guo Luo's mother look alike!" The fourteenth elder brother said affectionately: "And Guo Luo's mother still has the boudoir that Er Niang lived in when she was young. People at the head of the family live in and order people to clean it every day, flowers, fruits and dried fruits in four seasons."

"Next time, don't go casually." Concubine De sighed, but couldn't hold back her airs: "You see, your fourth brother has never been there before."

"The fourth brother is cautious, and the elder brother didn't go, but the presents for the New Year and the holidays have not been left behind. Er Niang, my son knows what you think, but the son is Huang Ama's son, and also your son, so why don't you... …Uncle is not the kind of person who is waiting to cause trouble."

Although Wuya Mansion's specifications are a little bit beyond the standard, it is definitely not that kind of rampant person!

So far, my uncle has only his aunt as his first wife, and his aunt who was mentioned by the two house maids when he was young.

The aunt who was mentioned by the two big maids is not up to her stomach.

They followed uncle two years before aunt came in, but no one got pregnant for two years, and then there was no hope for more than ten years.

It was the aunt who married in, with two sons and a daughter.

No wonder Guo Luo's mother wanted to take another concubine for her uncle.

"Er Niang knows, Er Niang is just..." Concubine De hesitated to speak.

"Son understands, Er Niang, don't need to say it." Elder Fourteen stepped forward and hugged Concubine De: "You have two sons, don't be afraid."

Concubine De didn't say anything at the end, the fourth elder brother just went to the palace for three days to pay her respects to Concubine De.

Sifujin even presented a set of shell wind chimes to Concubine De, which are things from the seaside, relatively new, but not expensive.

Concubine De liked it very much and hung it in front of the window of her bedroom.

Kangxi went there once, just to look at the shell wind chimes, and stayed at Concubine De's place for one night.

Some women gritted their teeth: Concubine De won't compete for favor by herself, her youngest son and eldest daughter-in-law will help her compete for favor!

It's a pity that envy, jealousy and hatred are useless, and the position of Concubine De in the harem is as stable as Mount Tai.

However, the former court was not stable again. Hesheli Suo'etu actually ordered the disciples of the Ministry of Rites to request that Prince Yinreng's worship mat be placed within the threshold of Fengxian Hall, which challenged Kangxi's status.

Because according to the rules, only the emperor's worship mat will be placed within the threshold.

The prince's is outside the threshold.

The princes row down, on the steps.

The royal relatives were under the steps, and the clan relatives could only kneel on the square.

This happened not once or twice, and Kangxi was furious no matter how magnanimous he was, and dismissed the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were on the scene for investigation!

Originally, the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month was cold enough, but now people in Chaozhong are panicking.

At this time, Suo'etu personally wrote the letter, and suggested that the prince's clothing and guard of honor should be all yellow, and all the rituals were similar to those of Kangxi.

The Hesheli family seemed so impatient.

The crown prince didn't even object, which made Kangxi most sad.

But Kangxi still gave the crown prince face. He asked the crown prince to wear the apricot yellow prince's court dress. The previous prince's court dress was only slightly different from the ordinary prince's court dress.

Although the matter seemed to be resolved satisfactorily, the atmosphere between the emperor and the prince turned cold.

Time flies, New Year's Eve, fire trees and silver flowers, brother fourteen is 15 years old.

The ninth day of the first lunar month is Brother Fourteen's birthday. On this day, Brother Fourteen received many congratulatory gifts.

Well, we all know that he loves money, Kangxi generously gave him 1000 taels of silver, and the fourteenth elder brother smiled so brightly that he couldn't see his teeth.

The empress dowager is still 100 taels of gold.

It made the fifth elder brother jealous: "Huang Ma, the fourteenth brother has a lot of gold!"

"You have a lot of gold." The empress dowager said happily, "You are so old, and you are still jealous of your fourteenth brother."

"Grandson is just jealous!" Fifth elder brother laughed, jealous or not, it doesn't matter if it is money or not, as long as it can make the empress dowager smile.

Wu Ya's family also prepared presents for Elder Fourteen, offering ten catties of silver noodles and a small gown with five blessings for longevity, Elder Fourteen put it on because he knew that it was made by his grandma clothing.

For this reason, Kangxi was also very interested, and asked a few more questions. Later, before the first month came out, Wu Yaboqi was promoted, and was promoted to the fourth rank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the doctor of the General Office of the Guangshu Department.

In this way, the places that slightly exceed the standard in Wuya Mansion are just qualified.

After eating the pig's head meat, just after February Erlong raised his head and passed, the draft began.

The fourteenth elder brother is not interested in this draft, but the ninth and tenth elder brothers are very nervous because they are about to be accused of Fujin.

Among them, Yifei is the most active.

There is no way, her own son, Brother Nine, and Brother Ten, who is almost his own son, will be accused of marriage. Ever since Xiu Nu entered the palace, Concubine Yi has been walking around frequently. Instead of summoning Xiu Nu, she went to other places. A few concubines walked around there, asking who has good girls to recommend.

I even came to the Yonghe Palace twice.

Concubine De smiled and said to her: "Wu Ya's family has a small population, and only a few concubine daughters from the side branches will participate in this draft. I plan to give one to the fourth child, and keep one from Fourteen's place to be Ge Ge. Neither status is high."

Concubine Yi is a person with high vision. Even if she is looking for Ge Ge for the ninth elder brother, she must be from a good background. The Guo Luoluo clan has two elder brothers, and the fifth elder brother is used to contact Mongolia. The marriage is not satisfactory; Concubine Yi doesn't want to wrong her son anymore.

"So it's like this!" Concubine Yi came to see Concubine De, but she didn't really expect to find a girl of good background from Concubine De.

Just to ask, it is also the face of Concubine Gu Quande.

Who told the two of them not to be good, the sons should be good!

Concubine De sent Yi Concubine away, and turned around and complained to Fourteenth Elder Brother: "If she has high vision, don't come to Yonghe Palace, it's useless to come here!"

Elder Fourteen was overjoyed: "Empress Yifei respects Erniang, if she doesn't come, Erniang will be embarrassed!"

Concubine De gave him a blank look: "You are the only one who is smart."

"With a clever mother-in-law, there will be a clever son."

Coaxing Concubine De to smile, Elder Fourteen heaved a sigh of relief.

But after the draft, Kangxi married Dong E to Brother Nine!

His father was Dutong Seventy (Qi Shi), and he became a Beijing official from the first-rank military.

Even Concubine De was surprised when she heard about it: "Dong E's family? Did you hear me wrong?"

"No, it's the Dong E family, from Xiangbai Banner."

"Er Niang, what's wrong with her?" Elder Fourteen wondered why Er Niang, Eldest Aunt, and Eldest Mother were all surprised by this candidate?

"You don't understand, Mrs. Dong E... Concubine Dong E..." Concubine De couldn't laugh or cry: "Concubine Yi is probably going crazy?"

"Empress Yifei is okay." The corner of the eldest aunt's mouth twitched: "It is said that the man was chosen by Brother Jiu himself. He is the one with the most outstanding appearance among the few beautiful girls."

Brother Jiu's first Gege Liu, the daughter of Liu Da.

It's a little maid in charge, Liu's only a little bit, she looks charming and beautiful!

The second Gege is the Lang family that Yifei refers to in the past, the daughter of Langtu, who was selected by Yifei after thousands of choices, and she is the most beautiful among the maids.

No way, brother Jiu just likes good-looking people!

Elder Fourteen suspects that he and Elder Ten are friends because Elder Ten is good-looking!

"It seems that my future sister-in-law Jiu is a great beauty!" Brother Fourteen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

Brother Jiu decided on his own, so he must have taken a fancy to him.

"Dong E's family is also good, and her ama Dong E's seventy's official position is not low." The fourth elder brother saw something different.

Although Dong E's Ama has no real power to lead the army, he is a high-ranking person.

Manchu people are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of not having military merits to earn. Dong E has been in the army for 30 years. It can be said that he started as a soldier under the first emperor all the way. He still lives his life as a first-rank military officer.

Dong E's is his young daughter, and he only got such a daughter when he was almost 50 years old.

The prince Fujin must be a direct descendant, and this young girl was born to his second successor.

The most important thing is that I heard that both the eldest brother and the crown prince want Dong E to be theirs, and the crown prince wants Dong E to be his concubine in the East Palace; the eldest brother promised a side Fujin to go out.

Unexpectedly, a brother Jiu came out halfway, and Dong E's family became Jiu Fujin directly!

As soon as this matter was settled, the crown prince and Zhijun Wang began to talk to Brother Jiu, the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes, even Brother Jiu's small business outside the palace has been suppressed, if it weren't for Brother Jiu Brother's small business has someone to take care of, I am afraid he has gone bankrupt long ago.

The angry ninth elder brother drank too much, and pointed at Sang Sang and scolded Huai Huai in his elder brother's office. When Fourteen and Thirteen went to see him, Tenth elder brother and Twelfth elder brother were persuading him to stop making trouble, and make trouble after drinking too much It is two concepts to deliberately drink too much and make trouble.

The crown prince and Zhijun king are not easy to mess with.

And brother Jiu offended both of them at once because of his daughter-in-law.
