The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

"However, Mrs. Cao brought them not only into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, but also to visit the backyards of various mansions..." Si Fujin was not sure: "And the two girls of the Cao family are really good."

"Because it's good, Huang Ama is the one who decides. Whoever dares to make up their minds will definitely be slapped in the face. Sister-in-law, don't think too much about it!" The fourteenth elder brother was happy: "What's more, the Cao family The relationship with our family is extraordinary."

He has already done business with Cao Yin and Cao Yong, and the business is quite big. What else is more important than profit?

Si Fujin just laughed: "Okay, sister-in-law doesn't think too much."

"Yes, when the Nian family enters the mansion, it will not pose a threat to you, sister-in-law. You have Hong Hui, and no one can surpass our little chubby boy!" The fourteenth elder brother hugged Hong Hui's little elder brother, and the uncle and nephew smiled. , which is somewhat similar.

I have lunch here at noon. Honghui's little elder brother likes to eat river fresh egg custard, and fourteenth elder brother said that this is like himself.

In the afternoon, I went to look at the store again, and came back very late.

He had to go out again the next day... He was so busy looking around, it was really not easy for others to catch his whereabouts.

As September approaches, the weather turns colder, and the prime time for hot pot is here again.

Horqin tender mutton, fat-tailed sheep from Abagai, and beef from Wengniu Tebu, married to Princess Wenke.

And the people from the Wengte cattle department who came to deliver the cattle also announced the good news to them: Princess Wen Ke is pregnant.

"This is a good thing!" The fourteenth elder brother went to the thirteenth elder brother's house beaming immediately: "Thirteenth brother, you have to support the thirteenth sister, send someone to deliver something!"

"What is suitable to give?" Brother Thirteen was also a little worried about his sister.

"It doesn't matter what you give, but it must be done with great fanfare and let people know that the thirteen sisters of our team value it." The fourteenth elder brother puffed up his cheeks: "I still have to go to report the good news to Huang Ama, you and I will tell you about this matter." Let’s go together, and then ask for grace to reward the two stable women and an imperial physician who is good at this field to go to Weng Niu Te’s department.”

"Okay!" The thirteenth brother was so happy that he couldn't think at this time. Whatever his fourteenth brother said was good.

The fourteenth elder brother wiped his face, and took the thirteenth elder brother to find Kangxi. Apart from announcing the good news, he was asking for grace.

"Okay, send someone to the House of Internal Affairs to get some supplements for the thirteenth princess. The fifteenth princess is going to get married next year, so I... I'd better do it myself!" Kangxi probably felt that his daughter was doing well.

The thirteenth princess married Weng Niu Tebu, and kept writing letters to report good news but not bad news, saying how her husband respected her, etc. In fact, Kangxi knew that it was because of the special care of the fourteenth son for Weng Niu Tebu.

I bought a year-old cow from Wengniu Special Department!

Kangxi knew that Fourteen was looking at Thirteen's face. Although Elder Thirteen was favored, he was a little worse than Elder Fourteen. Concubine Min also had good friends with Concubine De.

Thirteen... Thirteen is a nice kid.

"Thank you Huang Ama!" Shisan happily kowtowed to thank her. The two girls were both married by Huang Ama herself. Who can treat them lightly?

"Thirteen, you have to work hard, your sister has good news, why haven't you?" Kangxi teased Thirteen.

Thirteen blushed: "My son will work hard, hehehe...."

In the end, Kangxi sent two stable women, an imperial doctor who was good at maternity and child care, and two nuns who were good at raising children, and another team. Besides escorting these five people, they also brought two large carts of muslin cloth. , this can be used to make small clothes for children; silk and satin also pulled a large cart.

There are also all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as fine grains such as rice and flour.

Princess Wen Ke has prairie chickens, and the eggs laid are enough for the princess to use during her confinement.

Concubine De and Concubine Min and Concubine Yi each sent a cart full of things.

Brother Thirteen is a carload of Beijing snacks and gadgets, with light etiquette and affection.

The fourteenth brother was the most straightforward, and gave a cash box, which contained [-] brand new copper coins.

For Princess Wen Ke to reward her servants, and a box of golden melon seeds.

In addition, because the business here is doing well, [-] cattle are not enough to eat, so I will order [-] grassland cattle from the Wengniu Special Department.

Concubine Min's [-]th princess has also grown up. Kangxi named her Princess Heshuodunke and married Taijidorji of Horqin Borzigit in Mongolia. Kangxi will marry her in person next year.

The women in the palace are all sore!

Concubine Min's two daughters, Princess Wen Ke and Princess Dun Ke, were both married by Kangxi himself.

This honor is almost invincible!

Only the fourteenth elder brother can understand Kangxi, this Princess Heshuodunke is the youngest daughter of Kangxi, and the remaining princesses who were born did not grow up and died young.

Now the youngest princess in the palace is the sixteenth princess, born to the concubine Wang's family, but she has been in poor health.

Later, the daughters of Liu and Gao failed to stand still and died within a few months.

And this Princess Dunke is sweet-natured, innocent and lovely. She is a treasure in the palace. The husband-in-law Kangxi chose for her is from Horqin. The Empress Dowager always liked this princess. The empress dowager comforted me a little.

What's more, after the fourteenth elder brother gave the marriage, he sent someone to contact Dolji, and made it clear that he would buy [-] sheep from his tribe every year, as long as Princess Dunke lived healthy and happy with him.

Dorji is a middle-level tribe on the Horqin Grassland. Although the surname is Borzigit, it does not come from the Borzigit family of the Empress Dowager.

But the same surname is a natural ally!

Although he is Taiji, his title is not high, and he is not the king of the county.

The point is that his status is low, and the princess can completely suppress him. This is the purpose of Kangxi's marriage.

Princess Dunke is a naive girl who only wants to stay and fly with her husband, and doesn't care too much about other things.

What's more, like her elder sister, Huang Ama personally sent her to marry her, so she has more confidence.

Shisan took a look at his property, and Fourteen sent him another 1 taels of silver notes, and 1000 taels of gold: "Give the silver notes to Fifteenth Sister, and the gold to Concubine Min."

"Well, thank you, Fourteenth Brother."

The thirteenth elder brother carried 3000 taels of gold into the palace by himself.

Silver bills, gold and silver, three things, I gave to my mother-in-law and younger sister.

Concubine De also gave Princess Dunke a lot of things, 3000 taels of silver, 1000 taels of gold, [-] east pearls, [-] south pearls, and [-] golden pearls.

The other palaces sent all cloth.

For makeup, Concubine De prepared a whole set of red gold and gemstone-studded hair.

Brother Fourteen has also prepared some things, but his biggest reliance is the order he signed with Dolji.

There are also many sheep in the Dorji tribe.

If you go to Horqin to buy sheep, where should you buy them?

What's more, buying [-] sheep every year in Horqin is not enough to eat.

It doesn't matter if there is more, the main reason is that after signing the contract, they will treat the princess of the Qing Dynasty better in the future. If it is not good, he will not want this order.

In this way, the matter of the crown princess's happiness was overshadowed by this matter.

It was hard to get people to pay attention to Yuqing Palace, but in the end, it was overshadowed by the marriage of the fifteenth princess, and the crown prince couldn't give birth immediately, so the crown prince could only be depressed.

After the fourth prince's birthday, he married Nian's family as the side Fujin. Nian Xialing married 5000 taels of silver, several sets of jewelry, hundreds of silks and satins, two shops, and a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

Nian's family doesn't have much money, but if her daughter marries King Yongjun as a side Fujin, then the dowry must be generous.

Nian Xiyao was terrified. He planned to send his younger sister to the eighth elder brother's mansion, but he could see that the eldest elder brother was at the end of his battle.

Eighth Prince will soon take advantage of the situation.

Who knew that with the emperor's words, the younger sister became King Yongjun's side Fujin.

As long as the younger sister gives birth to a son and a half daughter, it is not impossible for the concubine to be a side concubine.

But he is a disciple of the eighth elder brother, and the younger brother is the fourteenth elder brother, but the younger sister is married to the king of Yongjun as a side Fujin.

His father is Mingxiang's man... Even though Mingxiang doesn't come out behind closed doors, his power is still there.

In this way, how many people are there in a family?Each station has a force...

The Nian family entered the Yongjun Prince's Mansion smoothly, and the side Fujin was not bad, and the Si Fujin was also very polite and caring to the Nian family.

Because the fourteenth brother told her that Nian Xia had already passed the booklet and returned home, so he was indeed old.

That place in Sichuan is hot and humid.

In fact, is Nian Yaling really going to retire and return to his hometown and become an official?

Not at all!

As he got older, he became more and more greedy for power, and his eldest son had good grades. Who would have thought that his youngest daughter would enter the palace of the Prince of Yongjun!

Become a side Fujin, that is the existence second only to Fujin!

Although there is no canonized side concubine, what if?In case of becoming a side concubine... What is the meaning of Long Live Lord? Even in Sichuan, I can't figure out the situation.

He is just old and wants to use this as an excuse to retreat.

There is a note about retirement and becoming an official. The first is to explore the way; the second is to see what Long Live God means.

Because in general, when you retire and become an official, you have to submit three papers, and the court repeatedly persuaded them to stay, expressing their importance to the minister.

Nian Xialing's plan is to make a book in one year, and if nothing can be done, there are at least three years left.

Constructing his scriptures in the twelfth lunar month of winter, he came to Beijing from Sichuan all the way, and Kangxi gave him his approval before he sealed his pen for the Chinese New Year: Agreed!

It is agreed that he will retire from old age and become an official, and reward him with a higher official level.

When he heard the news that day, Nian Xiyao suddenly became dizzy: "How can father write such a book!"

He is just a small official in Beijing, but the second brother is coming back after the new year, and the younger sister is also a side Fujin.

One must know that in order for the girl to become a side Fujin, their family almost took out the best things as a dowry to make her the daughter of the governor of Sichuan look good, but now that her father has retired, what hope is there?

If you get married after becoming an official, the dowry will be completely different!

After the Fourteenth Elder Brother knew about this, he went to visit the Prince's Mansion in Yong County.

Tell Si Fujin: "Sister-in-law, don't you feel relieved now? In fact, Nian Gengyao and Nianshi are considered good friends in the Nian family. Nian Gengyao is old and has made a foolish trick, and Nian Gengyao is even more clever."

"Nian's family is pretty good. She behaves well when she enters the mansion. Her natal family... Forget it, the water splashed by her married daughter has nothing to do with her." Si Fujin was completely relieved.

Nian's sense of threat to her is still great, Nian's is young, beautiful, and well-educated.

It is the side Fujin bestowed by the emperor again. In this mansion, the Li family is eyeing the position of the side Fujin, but she has not yet become a side Fujin. Nian's married in first and became a side Fujin.

If she gave birth to a child, wouldn't she be raised as a side concubine?

Whatever happened to Si Fujin, she would be worried, let alone other women.

It is also a good thing that Nianshi's father is retiring now, since his natal family is not so powerful, Nianshi will be well-behaved for a few more years.

After Elder Fourteen left, Si Fujin thought about it, and went to Nianshi's East Courtyard in person. This is where Nianshi lives alone, and the other women live in Xikuayuan.

She told Nian about her father's resignation, but Nian's reaction was flat. Seeing Sifujin's worried eyes, Nian smiled: "When I was in my mother's house, although I had no worries about food and clothing, Erniang treated my concubine well." I don't care much about my body, and my father is so focused on climbing up, that I have nothing to say to my concubine."

In fact, she was being polite when she said that, if the second brother Nian Gengyao hadn't been thinking about it all the time, she might have been tortured in the backyard.

Erniang also wanted to betroth her to a wealthy businessman, in exchange for a lot of dowry money.

It's a pity that Erniang is not from a high family background, she doesn't know the rules of the banner, and girls from the banner family must be drafted!

Seeing her like this, Si Fujin knew that she had a problem with her natal family in her heart. She had heard from her fourteenth brother that Nian Shi and Nian Gengyao did not live well in Nian's family.

When the Nian clan entered the mansion, he saw that the dowry was generous, so it also depended on who he compared with.

But that's good too, Nianshi is a side Fujin after all, and it's not good if his background is too strong.

After Sifujin left, Hongxia, Nian's close maid, was very happy: "Master, did you hear that? Master is no longer an official."

"Yeah, he is no longer an official, that's fine, Er Niang can go tossing around at home!" Nian chuckled softly: "I finally left that fire pit, and Second Brother no longer has to worry about it."

"Second Young Master is coming back, right? It's been a year." Hongxia was still counting with her fingers: "It's almost time for my wife to be filial."

"It's not enough. After the new year, after February, he will be almost done." Nian also hopes to see the second brother. She and the second brother are siblings. I gave her 3000 taels of silver as money for the bottom of the box.

What she didn't want at first was that the person sent by the second brother said that the man who married into the door was from the Prince's Mansion of Yong County. It was not an ordinary family. How could they manage it well without money?She just accepted it, and she doesn't know what happened to her second brother.

The second sister-in-law, the second brother married unwillingly.

If he dies, he will implicate the second elder brother. If he keeps his filial piety for one year, this future will be gone, and he has to start from scratch.

Nian couldn't help but sighed, Hongxia saw that she couldn't do it, and the young lady began to feel sad again, so she hurriedly changed the subject: "Master, we will be vegetarian in the house tonight, what would you like to order?"

This blunt way of changing the subject made Nianshi laugh: "Everything is good in the mansion, and the vegetarian dishes are also delicious."

Seeing the master smiled, Hongxia heaved a sigh of relief.
