The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Brother Fourteen didn't know what happened to Nian Gengyao, he only knew that the crown prince was angry, but he was not afraid of the crown prince being angry.

In Changchun Garden, autumn is also very humid. After all, there are streams and rivers everywhere here, and there are abundant underground water sources.

Even the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated in Changchun Garden, where the scenery is beautiful and the climate is suitable.

The moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but after the banquet, Kangxi only needs the fourteenth elder brother to accompany him to go for a walk, and everyone else is abandoned.

"Fourteen, how is your business doing?" Kangxi suddenly mentioned business.

"Fortunately, do you have fermented bean curd, an exclusive dipping material? This thing is versatile. It can be used not only as a dipping material, but also as a pickle. Braised pork with fermented bean curd is also very popular." Elder Fourteen said: "There is also the fat meat in the north. Tail sheep, all kinds of dried vegetables in the south can also be used as shabu-shabu."

In his business, the north and the south take all.

Kangxi was silent for a while: "Then you have other business, can you do it?"

"Huang Ama, do you want to make money for someone?" Elder Fourteen immediately noticed the difference.

"What do you think of the Cao family?" Kangxi said directly.

"Are you going to tell the truth?" Brother Fourteen hesitated.

"Of course!"

"To be honest, the Cao family is not a businessman." The fourteenth elder brother said: "Besides, the Cao family spends too much money! The expenses are higher than my prince's elder brother Belle! It's a pity that the Cao family is a bunch of idiots. There is Mr. Cao Yin, who is trying his best to return that hole. Even Cao Yong, who is young, is trying to find a way to get money, but the rest of the Cao family... Huang Ama allowed them to fill in this hole, but Don't go too far!"

Kangxi sighed: "I don't know! But I can't let the Cao family go on like this. To be honest, most of the holes that the Cao family owed to the household department were spent on me. I know it. So I entrusted them with the work of digging ginseng and picking pearls in the Northeast, and I also rewarded Yan Yin with an excuse, but just like you said, the Cao family is not suitable for business."

"My son knows what Huang Ama is thinking." The fourteenth elder brother leaned on the railing and looked into the distance: "I should go back and think about the matter of the Cao family. Let her children end up in debt."

Kangxi thought that this question was suddenly asked today. Brother Fourteen probably hadn't thought about it before, and there was no suitable solution for a while, so he could understand.

At the same time, it also proved that Brother Fourteen has nothing to do with Jiangnan.

Similarly, Elder Fourteen only has sympathy for Cao Yin, Cao Yong and his son, but has no affection for the rest of the Cao family.

This made Kangxi very satisfied: "Then you go and think of a good way. I don't want to take advantage of the rest of the Cao family, and I don't want to embarrass Cao Yin."

"Okay, my son will write you a plan!" Fourteenth elder brother hates booklets, so he wrote a plan for Kangxi. Isn't it a question of how to transform a debt-debt company?

Idiot!

Kangxi handed over the matter to his fourteenth son with confidence.

Both father and son tacitly did not mention this matter to anyone.

But when Brother Fourteen came back from Changchun Garden in September and returned to his Baylor Mansion, someone came to report the funeral!

It's Nian Gengyao!

Just come, he's still here to announce the funeral!

"Your father... passed away?" Nian Gengyao was wearing plain clothes, but he didn't wear filial piety, probably because he came to Fourteen Baylor's mansion, and he couldn't rush Fourteen Baylor because of his superiority.

So when the fourteenth elder brother saw him like this, he thought that he had passed away at a young age!

After all, Nian Ya was getting old, and Nian Gengyao's mother had passed away long ago.

There are no immediate or collateral elders in the family who need him to wear sackcloth and filial piety.

"It's not Chen's father. Chen's father is still working in Sichuan." Nian Gengyao smiled bitterly: "It's Chen's new wife who died of illness."

"Ah?" Elder Fourteen raised his head, the surprise on his face could not be concealed.

He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart with words, whether it was joy or frustration.

He vaguely remembered that Nian Gengyao's first wife did die young, but he didn't expect to die so young, within a month of getting married, right?

"Actually, she is already at the end of her life, that's why the Nala family was in a hurry to let her get married, but it turned out to be unlucky for the minister. The newlyweds and the wedding night in the bridal chamber are all fooling the courtier!" Nian Gengyao gritted his teeth: " After all, I'm a man, so I don't feel like I did that kind of thing? When she passed away, it was your butler who restrained her, who personally examined her body and said it was perfect!"

Brother Fourteen was overjoyed: "Then what did you discover?"

"Yes, I found out that the people she married as a dowry were all spies from the elder brother, the eighth elder brother, and the Nala family, as well as beautiful women. They were all prepared for the minister!" He couldn't allow others to plot against him, especially when this person was still his eldest brother.

Brother Fourteen has never met Nian Xiyao, but he never thought that Nian Xiyao would be so courageous that he would even plan Nian Gengyao's marriage.

However, he seemed to remember that Nian Gengyao had descendants and several sons, so he couldn't help feeling a little sour.

But I dare not show it, after all, it's too much!

"Then what are you going to do?" Elder Fourteen wanted to know what Nian Gengyao meant.

"I have to keep filial piety for my wife for one year, not to mention that my original wife died young, and God is jealous of her beauty. I will never forget my original wife, and I don't plan to look for her again for ten or eight years." Nian Gengyao is also a ruthless person: Marriage was used as an excuse."

"Then you have to take care of those people." Brother Fourteen reminded him that there are still a lot of people in the family.

"It's simple, let them go to the funeral, and then leave to look after Mrs. Gu's tomb. Regardless of age, my family's ancestral home is Huaiyuan County, Fengyang Prefecture, Anhui Province. There is my family's ancestral grave. Let them go to see Gu's tomb!" Nian Gengyao had already thought about it. Method: "To guard the tomb of my wife, what is more suitable than a dowry?"

The fourteenth elder brother shuddered: "Can the Nala family be willing?"

How could Nian Gengyao be sent away so easily after he managed to squeeze his hands in?

"Their family doesn't want it, and I'm not happy about it. What's the matter with marrying me a sick child? If you dare to make irresponsible remarks, I don't mind the autopsy!" With this handle in hand, if the Nala family helps the elder brother and the eighth elder brother again, it will really be that the in-laws have turned into enemies.

What's more, almost everyone in the capital knows that the second lady of the Nala family is not in good health.

The ancients paid attention to the greatness of death and the safety of being buried in the earth.

Especially for women, if an autopsy is performed, the Nala family will be ashamed!

"Then what do you mean?" Elder Fourteen looked at Nian Gengyao, even if his wife is dead, well, that wife is fake, Nian Gengyao still looks so handsome.

"I... came to bid farewell. I asked for a leave of absence to help my wife's coffin back home for a year." Nian Gengyao approached the fourteenth elder brother, and smelled a faint fragrance. Not only did his heart throb, But seeing the face of Fourteenth Elder Brother, he felt really ashamed, this is Fourteenth Baylor!

"What's the matter?" Elder Fourteen was taken aback by his handsome face suddenly approaching him, and then asked him what he was doing seriously.

It's just that his hand was holding the handle of the Taishi chair, and he was already a little nervous.

It's a pity that Nian Gengyao was also nervous and didn't notice this: "I want to tell you something. When I came back to the door that day, I met with Mingxiang at Mingxiang's mansion and found that he was already exhausted. , like my dead wife."

"Huh?" Elder Fourteen frowned: "Have you gone to see Prime Minister Ming?"

"Yes, I also "met" the elder brother and the eighth elder brother." Nian Gengyao said the word "encounter" very emphatically.

"The two of them together?" Elder Fourteen pursed his lips: "I thought there was a gap between them!"

Didn't expect to mix it up.

"Until Big Brother loses his face, Eighth Brother will not leave Big Brother's side." It was Nian Gengyao who was so powerful, and said to the point: "I also don't want to turn against them, so I hide away so that you don't have to worry about it." Difficult."

The eldest brother and the eighth elder brother, no matter which one, dare to blatantly poach the corner of the fourteenth elder brother.

It can be seen that they don't value the fourteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother does not have much influence.

There is Kangxi's favor, but he is not reused. After all, the fourteenth elder brother will not participate in politics, and Kangxi will not ask him to go.

Even the thirteenth elder brother followed the king of Yongjun to do odd jobs in the household department, but the fourteenth elder brother didn't rely on it, and only cared about his own small business.

Brother Nine, at least when doing business, did not forget to win over people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The fourteenth elder brother doesn't join in the fun with anyone, but he is very kind to his mother Wu Ya's family. I heard that he often visits the old lady of Wu Ya's family.

Gengyao had checked it all these years, so he didn't want to embarrass Fourteen Baylor.

"It's fine if you go back and avoid it for a while. It's fine this year, and it should have results next year." Elder Fourteen said, "Your father did it. To be honest, it's not very pretty."

Find a daughter-in-law who is seriously ill and almost exhausted for his son, even if he has such a generous dowry, so what?

Nalan Rongruo is a famous official and famous person, but how many years has Nalan Rongruo been dead?

The Nala family dared to deceive people like this.

If this news gets out, all the unmarried daughters of the Nala clan will have a hard time.

When Nian Gengyao was leaving, the fourteenth elder brother gave Nian Gengyao 1000 taels of silver for the reason of the ceremony: "The poor family is rich on the road, don't treat yourself harshly on the road."

This made Nian Gengyao feel warm in his heart: "I will take care of myself, not to mention that woman has nothing else, she brought a lot of dowry, if you want to be buried in our Nian family's ancestral grave, the price will be very high."

He didn't plan to pay back the dowry, he wanted them to pay his wife and money.

Nian Gengyao's way of playing rogue like this can make the elder brother and the eighth elder brother disgusted.

When Nian Gengyao left in this way, he really shunned the elder brother and the eighth elder brother. They didn't expect the second lady of the Nala family to die so quickly, and Nian Gengyao also found a lot of things , caught their handle.

Let them cast the mouse.

The eighth elder brother turned around and scolded Nian Xiyao. Nian Xiyao thought of his sister in the palace in panic, and secretly planned to send her to Babeile's mansion. Isn't it because Babeile doesn't have a child yet? ?

He has seen how powerful Bafujin is, but he can't stand the temptation!

With that little girl's beauty and talent, is she not favored?

As for the eight blessings?Who cares about her!

Nian Gengyao made a quick move, and no one could do anything to him.

On the other hand, Elder Fourteen felt very at ease. As soon as he was so at ease, he thought of a way to help the Cao family.

It took three days to finish writing a business planning book for debtors.

Then I went to the street to buy some gadgets, which I used to please the elderly women.

This is going to the palace.

I entered the palace early in the morning, and went to meet the empress dowager. The empress dowager smiled when she saw him and was in a super good mood.

The fourteenth elder brother presented the Buddhist scriptures of the living Buddha and had a breakfast with the empress dowager.

Then I went to De Concubine's Yonghe Palace, where I gave De Concubine a Buddhist scripture copied by the living Buddha, as well as gadgets bought outside.

After coaxing Concubine De to be happy, he was invited away by the people from Qianqing Palace, Kangxi called him.

When we arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Kangxi had already descended to court: "If I don't send someone to call you, don't you plan to come here?"

"How can I? I haven't seen you in the palace, and I can't sleep when I go back to bed!" Elder Fourteen said with a playful smile, "You can smell the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from far away."

"You little greedy cat." Kangxi moved his dim sum plate to Brother Fourteen: "Eat it."

Brother Fourteen is the rarest thing about Kangxi’s sweet-scented osmanthus cake. It’s sweet but not greasy. The more you eat it, the more you want to eat it.

"This is written by my son, please read it first." Elder Fourteen took out a thick book and said, "My son will not eat your sweet-scented osmanthus cake for nothing."

Kangxi brought the book over, but told a daughter of the palace next to him: "Go and prepare a pot of good tea for Fourteen Baylor, just that one, Tie Guanyin, and let the imperial dining room cook some of Fourteen Baylor's favorite dishes. "

"Do you want to prepare wine? There is sweet rice wine made from this year's new rice, and distiller's lees dumplings." Omiya's daughter asked softly, "It's sweet-scented osmanthus flavored distiller's lees dumplings."

"Then have two bowls, and let someone make a stewed goose with sauerkraut." Kangxi remembered that Shishi liked to eat this dish.

But it must be eaten at this time. The freshly pickled sauerkraut and the big geese that are going to spend the winter, he said that the most suitable time is after the first snowfall.

It's cold now, and there was frost yesterday morning.

"No, Huang Ama, this is not the best time to eat this dish. Bring me a pot of stewed lamb chops, and two plates of radishes, one white radish and one green radish." Elder Fourteen raised his hand: "I want Dongpo meat, don't forget."

"Listen to Brother Fourteen!" Kangxi nodded, "Let me have dinner with you tonight."

"Okay, okay!" Elder Fourteen nodded sharply: "I've been craving the delicious food from Emperor Ama for a long time!"

Dagong's daughter kept her expression on her face, and went down to pass the decree lightly, but she was surprised that the fourteenth elder brother was at ease in front of the Long Live Lord, other elder brothers did not have this kind of behavior!

And Kangxi in the Hall of Mental Cultivation picked up the book written by the fourteenth elder brother and read it.
