The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Since it was Elder Fourteen, no, it should be Baylor Fourteen, then there was nothing to be nervous about, so Nian Gengyao followed him to a nearby restaurant, and it was time for dinner.

Brother Fourteen is someone who cannot go hungry.

This restaurant is quite big, and it is considered a famous restaurant in the outer city.

They asked for a private room, and there were guards standing at the door, serving the fourteenth master with a small bottle. After entering the room, Nian Gengyao gave a big gift to the fourteenth Baylor in a serious manner: "Student Nian Gengyao, to the fourteenth master Baylor, hello."

The fourteenth Baylor became Baylor because he surpassed the first few shells.

These are a few words he heard from his father.

It's just that he didn't expect that the young master he had met was Fourteen Baylor, not as domineering as he imagined, but just a young master.

Looks like they're still underage.

"Hmm." Elder Fourteen nodded. Nian Gengyao has a reputation for raising people, so it's okay to call himself a student.

But then, Nian Gengyao performed another full-fledged etiquette: "Slave Nian Gengyao, please greet the little master."

Nian's family is in the banner. According to the rules of the banner people, those who are in the banner are the emperor's servants. Brother Fourteen is the emperor's own son, so he is naturally the little master.

He called it that, absolutely right!

"Lianggong...you're alright if I call you that?" Elder Fourteen smiled, "You don't have to be polite, get up, sit down, and order whatever you want."

"Slaves eat everything, but don't suffer." Nian Gengyao was quite interesting. He didn't know what the fourteenth master meant, but he didn't dare to offend too much, let alone imagine what he would do if he was bullied. ?

So now he is like a hedgehog, with all his thorns exploding.

"I'm not at a disadvantage either." Elder Fourteen laughed loudly: "Interesting, sit down!"

"Thank you Fourteen Baylor for your seat." Nian Gengyao was well mannered, and it was obvious that his tutor was very good.

The small bottle brought its own tea bag, and the tea is made with the water here, so the tea is very good.

"Grandpa, let me order some dishes." Brother Fourteen just came up, and glanced at the menu signs: "Casseroles with white meat, stewed dumplings, shallots mixed with tofu, and spinach with nuts."

Four dishes, enough for the three of them.

The other dishes were okay, but Nian Gengyao couldn't help being surprised when he stewed the dumplings.

Stewed siaozi is an unrefined way of eating. It is to put pig intestines, pig heart, pig belly and pig lungs together and stew them with high heat. As long as the fishy smell of pig offal is stewed, the Even if it succeeds.

Put these things together and simmer over high heat. Apart from a warm feeling, the stewed dish is just a rotten paste in terms of taste.

Ordinary noble people don't know how to eat it, but who knows that the fourteenth elder brother seems to know the way.

After ordering the dishes, the staple food is white rice. Although northerners love to eat pasta, Elder Fourteen still likes white rice.

Of course, he also likes bean rice, but it's easy to get exhausted after eating bean rice (a civilized term for farting), so he only eats bean rice for dinner in his mansion.

After drinking the tea, the dim sum came first. It was the restaurant's homemade Luguoer and mung bean cakes, which were offered to distinguished guests without charge.

Nian Gengyao calmly ate a few furnace fruits and mung bean cakes, suppressing his hungry chest and back.

The fourteenth elder brother saw it, frowned and asked directly: "After all, it is also a family of officials, why is it so down and out? Didn't you bring a bag with you when you came to Beijing for the exam?"

Nian Gengyao lowered his head slightly, and said in a bit of embarrassment: "Slave..."

"Don't call yourself a slave. It sounds awkward to you, just call yourself a student. You are a juror and have a reputation." Brother Fourteen felt that a slave sounded a little awkward. He knew history, and Nian Gengyao was nothing. A man with a big heart, he has a lot of rules. It is said that when he was the governor of Sichuan, he used to ask civil and military officials to kneel on both sides of the road to greet him.

"Yes, student, it is true that I ran out of money. When I left home earlier, I left half of the money for my sister." Nian Gengyao seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Although the student's family is rich, there are big brothers in the family." , Erniang is in charge of the family, and my father is already old, so he doesn't care about these little things."

Brother Fourteen was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "What does this mean? You and your elder brother Nian Xiyao were not born by the same mother?"

Historically, Nian Gengyao followed the fourth elder brother, but he kissed the eldest brother, and Nian Xiyao was a supporter of the eighth elder brother.

Later, people called this "burning stove".

Although Nian Yaling became an official very early, his two sons were not simple.

The eldest brother, Nian Xiyao, followed the hottest eighth elder brother at that time, called "burning stove";

The second year Gengyao was the first to follow the elder brother. He married Nalan Rongruo's biological daughter, Nalashi, as his first wife. The prince, after both fell from power, he turned to join the fourth elder brother. At that time, the fourth elder brother was still a cold-faced prince, and he was the one who "burned the cold stove".

But whether it is "burning a cold stove" or "burning a hot stove", whoever wins, the fourth elder brother or the eighth elder brother, will not be defeated by the Nian family.

So that after the eighth elder brother was defeated, the Nian family immediately married the Nian family to the fourth elder brother as the side Fujin.

Although Nian Yaling retired and served as an official for many years, and even passed away before the fourth elder brother ascended the throne, the Nian family was still very brilliant in the early years of Yongzheng. , and later turned from civil to military, leading troops to fight.

It's not that he doesn't know the truth of the master's merits, let alone be unclear.

But later, what Nian Gengyao did was too obvious, it was a death sentence!

In the end, the Nian clan all suffered bad luck. Except for the imperial concubine Nian who died of illness, everyone in the Nian family did not have a good end.

It was his second son, who was exiled into the army, and finally left Nian's blood.

"The student's mother is the stepmother of the father. The original spouse died because of dystocia after giving birth to the eldest brother. The mother is the stepmother, but the father also has a concubine. After the death of the mother, she was promoted to be a second wife because the father is going to be an official. Now, there is nothing that needs to be taken care of by the main wife, so...the second mother is in charge of the family affairs, and the students and younger sister are also under strict control." Although Nian Gengyao didn't say anything, the fourteenth elder brother How smart?It will be clear at one point.

The battle in the back house was really too serious.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, your family's affairs, once your father... If it's a big deal, you can separate the family." Just as Brother Fourteen finished speaking, people came outside and the dishes were served.

Although the weather is cooler now, it is still quite hot for dinner, but the windows here are open, and the draft is very cool.

"Let's eat!" Elder Fourteen took the chopsticks by himself, and called the little bottle: "Come, let's eat together, we can't finish all the dishes."

"Hey!" Xiao Pingzi knew that the master didn't like to be polite with others, so he sat aside politely, served the master first, and then Nian Juren, but didn't order drinks.

Nian Gengyao ate very quickly. He must be hungry, but he ate very well. He was so downcast that he didn't feel embarrassed. He only got a little angry when he mentioned family affairs. It seemed that his success was not accidental.

"Since we met, it can be regarded as predestined relationship. When I was young, I met the young adults several times. Follow me. If I don't take you back, I have a house outside. Send someone to take care of it. You can study at ease, and you will be here soon." It's going to be Qiu Wei, and there will be a draft in the spring tomorrow, so there will be a lot of excitement." The fourteenth elder brother is actually quite curious about this Nian Gengyao. It is not uncommon in history that civil servants turned military generals, but they can be compared with Nian Gengyao After all, there are few of them. At his most glorious time, he was always the king in the Northwest.

There are imperial concubines and concubines in the palace, and outside the palace, they monopolize military power.

If Yongzheng hadn't trusted him, he wouldn't have given him such great power.

But he was too good at doing it. In the end, the family followed him to ashes.

Can a person who can be admitted to Jinshi, has been in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and then transferred from literature to martial arts, and has been in the Northwest for more than ten years, see the situation clearly?

He didn't believe it, this person was smart for a while, but confused for the rest of his life.

Everyone is smart all their lives, so it's okay to be confused for a while.

His whole behavior is reversed, so strange!

Especially the art of observing qi that has not been used for a long time, this guy is obviously lucky.

Nian Gengyao was worried, he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, there are quite a few elder brothers participating in politics in the court, and there are also those who stand in line, but you need to be cautious!

Nian's family is not as good as it used to be. My father is old, and he doesn't get along with his elder brother. The elder brother didn't know whose team he was standing for a long time ago, and he didn't tell the family.

My sister is still young, and I didn't pass the Jinshi exam. Even if I passed the exam, I still need qualifications. Now it's almost 40 years since Kangxi, and the emperor is in his fifties!

I don't know how many more years there will be, and his future may not be in this dynasty, but in the next dynasty.

"Thank you Fourteen Baylor for your help." But he didn't have the capital to refuse, and Nian Gengyao was still a little uneasy at this moment.

But after Shisi took people back, he did arrange a place for him.

First lived in Baylor Mansion for one night, and the next day he had a whole new set of clothes to wear, and then his bookcase was replaced with a new one, his luggage disappeared, and he changed into two suitcases of clothes, and lived in Baylor Mansion Three days, in exchange for a completely new look.

Then on the fourth day, Elder Fourteen took him to a small house with three entrances. There were two families who were in charge of serving him, and there was a large study room that was rebuilt temporarily. , but there were a lot of books in it, which gave Nian Gengyao some confidence.

"This is a place for you. I will study here in the future. I have to work hard this autumn." Brother Fourteen gave him the house deed and the people's deed of sale: "This is your foothold. 500 taels of silver is enough for your expenses, and the Lord will send someone to send you some money in a few days, here are two hundred catties of rice and five hundred catties of noodles to eat slowly, and there is no shortage of salt, charcoal, and meat."

"Students don't dare to ask for this!" This was too good for him, and Nian Gengyao wouldn't believe it if he said that the other party had no intentions.

But the other party's status is noble, and he has no confidence in refusing.

"There's nothing I dare not ask for. I've been kind to you recently. Just remember to answer me every day." Elder Fourteen is investing in advance. This is an invisible local tyrant in the Northwest in the future, and it's worth his investment: "You're kind." Don't talk about it, study hard, don't worry about other things, remember you have a younger sister? You must come to the capital for the draft, this place is given to you, if you come to Beijing to participate in the election, you will have a place to live."

Many of those who went to Beijing for drafts and imperial examinations actually didn't have a fixed place to live in the capital. They could rent a house if they came early, but they had to find an inn if they came late.

The inn was noisy with people coming and going, so it was not an ideal place to stay.

Moreover, it is very inconvenient for the female relatives to go out. Even if the Manchu women do not have as much talk as the Han women, there are still many hooligans who will take advantage of the draft to feast their eyes.

The fourteenth elder brother said so, and Nian Gengyao had to accept it if he didn't accept it.

"Students are impressed by the five..." A lot of grateful words were said, and the guard in his heart was a little less. So far, the fourteen Baylor has been doing things in a hurry, and there is no use for him.

After Nian Gengyao was settled, Elder Fourteen continued to work.

What is he busy with?

I have recruited a group of brothers and sisters, want to open a chain hot pot restaurant?

Others thought he was messing around, even Kangxi heard that he was going to do business, so he went to ask Concubine De, "Can he do business?"

"The concubine doesn't know whether he can do business or not, but he can eat, but really, if he opens some kind of restaurant, it may be successful." Concubine De also laughed and said, "I heard that many of them have been contacted. Brothers, all of them are used to him and let him make trouble. What kind of money-making plan is there for the first phase? It seems that there will be a second phase and a third phase!"

Kangxi laughed, but the Empress Dowager joined in the fun and asked for half of the shares.

Brother Fourteen couldn't refuse the old lady, so he took the money and announced to the old lady: "If you want to buy beef and mutton in the future, you should go to Horqin first. The beef and mutton there are delicious!"

The empress dowager said that she was so happy, and then the fourteenth elder brother really sent people to Horqin, the hometown of the empress dowager, to order mutton for a long time. The mutton there is fat and delicate, and it is good to eat hot pot.

The beef went to another Horqin tribe to order.

The fourteenth elder brother spent a long time looking for a shop to open a shop, but he didn't gain much. In the end, the fourth elder brother gave him a shop in the inner city near the outer city gate: "This can be regarded as an addition to my shareholding!"

The location is good, but the business is not so good, because the flow of people here is OK, but everyone comes and goes in a hurry, and the business is tepid.

The fourth elder brother gave him a restaurant, and the thirteenth elder brother also came, and he also gave away a shop. This shop is usually rented out, but now that the rent is due, he will bring it to the fourteenth: "Look at you People who run all day are tired and thin, this place is not big, but it is facing the street, so it should be very useful.”

Brother Fourteen was dumbfounded: "You all have shops in such a good location!"

"Of course, who doesn't own many shops!" Elder Brother Thirteen smiled: "This is the dowry that my uncles prepared for my mother-in-law, and later... now it belongs to me."

Since then, Fourteen has opened a brand new door!
