The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Chapter 166 Release 3 Elder Brothers

I don't know why, Kangxi seemed to be forbearing a few years ago, but he completely let himself go after the new year.

The third elder brother's flattery seemed to be slapped on the horse's leg.

It is said that the third elder brother suffered heavy losses!

The relationship network that had been operating in the palace for many years was completely disrupted.

Even Concubine Rong was reprimanded, saying that she "communicated inside and outside".

Anyway, he didn't leave any good face for him, but Kangxi missed his old love after all, and he didn't degrade his position, nor did he have any punishment.

But it was enough for Concubine Rong and Third Elder Brother to stop for a year or so.

After Kangxi got these things, the draft also started. This draft is held every three years, and Brother Fourteen always feels that it is frequent enough.

But in this draft, Kangxi betrothed many beautiful girls to others, tied marriages are everywhere, and there is even Cao Yong's marriage.

Cao Yong's two sisters were married to the county king by Kangxi, and the other was married to a Mongolian prince. The Cao family had few dowry, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared a lot of dowry.

In addition, Cao Yong also prepared a little make-up for the two sisters in the south, which is enough for the two Cao girls to have the confidence to live a good life after marriage.

But this time, Cao Yong's wife was not Ma Shi in history.

It was Ergen Jueluo, the niece of the swimming coach of the fourteenth elder brother. If He Siwen's daughter was not too young, it would be more appropriate to refer to He Siwen's daughter.

Back then, Hao Siwen still followed the path of this cousin, and only then did he have a future.

But Ergenjue Luo Hao Siwen is a grateful person. Over the past ten years in the south, he has become more and more important officials. Last year, Kangxi transferred him to be the commander-in-chief of Guangdong to take charge of one side's military power. With him Now, Cao Yong can flex his muscles and not be afraid of being calculated. After all, in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and schemes are paper tigers!

However, Kangxi was thoughtful. For some reasons and excuses that were inconvenient to say on the surface, he gave marriages to two young people. The first was to let Cao Yong have a good wife. One of them was born in a noble military family.

The second is to clear the way for the relationship between the two.

Who will bully Cao Yong in the future, Cao Yin is beyond reach in Jiangning, but the uncle is right in front of him, and Hao Siwen will not have to find a reason to send troops in the future. Isn't it normal for him to support his nephew and son-in-law?

And with the marriage gifted by Kangxi, no one dared to say anything, let alone object!

In this way, according to Yier, Luo Shi is still close to her natal family, and Cao Yong also has someone to help.

Kangxi didn't know about other things, but he knew the importance of military power. The Manchus were a nation that started on horseback. At any time, military power was the most important thing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be angry with Brother Thirteen.

The thirteenth elder brother didn't talk about loyalty to the right place!

Cao Yong was quite shy: "The servant has never met the young lady of Yiergenjueluo's family, so I don't know if I can get along well."

"It's definitely easy to get along with, but it's definitely amazing!" Elder Fourteen said, "Although I haven't seen it before, you can go to the palace to have a look. Huang Ama personally proposed the marriage, so I can't be wrong."

Manchu women are all aggressive, and there are very few gentle ones, because they not only have to support the backyard of the family, but before entering the customs, these women can also mount a horse and fight.

"Really? That's good. The family hopes that the slave will find a good wife who can support the family. Moreover, the slave is not in good health, so he doesn't want to have three wives and four concubines." Cao Yong came here to show his favor. He: "The mother only has one son, a slave, as long as she can have a son to carry on the family, she doesn't care about the others."

Cao Yin also has only one brother, and the Cao family has been passed down for two generations.

It's not the daughter-in-law's problem, it's the sons' problem!

What's more, Cao Yong is not stupid. Long live Lord must have his reasons for referring to marriage in this way. It is better to have a good relationship with General Hao Siwen, and the county magistrate is not as good as it is now.

Besides, he is not too greedy for beautiful women. Generally speaking, young people are somewhat fond of beautiful women, but he is not. He spends his free time trying to find ways to pay off his family's debts.

Where is the time to be romantic!

"That's right, manly man, what is beauty? Career is the most important thing." Elder Fourteen said so, but he couldn't help thinking of Nian Gengyao in his heart.

I don't know how he is at home.

However, when the fourteenth elder brother entered the palace to pay his respects to Concubine De, he said something about it, and Concubine De simply summoned Ergen Jueluo to come to Yonghe Palace.

Ergenjue Luoshi is a pretty nice girl, with a delicate appearance, mainly because she is in good health and very strong. It is said that she has never been sick since she was a child. When she returned to her hometown in Shengjing, she could ride horses and hunt, and even Pull sheepskins and slaughter cattle!

Seeing Concubine De respectfully saluted and said hello, she looked well-mannered.

She also saluted very cutely when she saw Fourteen Baylor, she was dressed in the attire of a beautiful girl, she hadn't left the palace yet to prepare for marriage.

"This time I summoned you because Fourteen Baylor wanted to tell you something." Concubine De simply pushed the youngest son out.

The fourteenth elder brother cleared his throat: "My father and Cao Yong are good friends, um, he is half a student of my father, he is honest and reliable, and he has a lot of things and is very busy, so when it comes to sex, he I don't really care too much, and the two generations of their family are single, you just need to spread the branches and leaves for the Cao family, don't worry about other things. It's time to think about it, you have to be mentally prepared, don't do it with those big housemaids, he will be annoying if you do it."

Yiergenjue Luoshi did not expect that Defei summoned himself because of Fourteen Baylor, and Fourteen Baylor said so to pass on a message to Cao Yong.

Although marrying Cao Yong seems to be married, but it is also good.

The Cao family has a shallow foundation and was born as a slave, so they definitely wouldn't disrespect her as a Manchu aunt, but they didn't expect Cao Yong from the Cao family to be close to Fourteen Baylor, and Fourteen Baylor even sent him a message.

The content of the transmission is still so surprising.

"The Cao family is not in very good health. If you marry, you only need to be filial to your parents-in-law. Hey, you probably have to follow Cao Yong to take up the post and have a child as soon as possible. More than filial piety, it is in line with your parents-in-law." Concubine De also said: "What's more, Cao's family is dedicated. You can tell by looking at your parents-in-law. Master Cao Yin has only your mother-in-law to have children. The two concubines are like invisible people. They are directly dealt with by others, or given away. People either give money back to the family directly, or marry their own subordinates, you can follow the example of your mother-in-law."

Speaking of which, Ergen felt that Luo Shi's heart was warm: "This servant knows."

Thanking Concubine De and Fourteen Baylor for a while, blushing again, boldly asked Fourteen Baylor to bring Cao Yong a purse of Bingdilian and a fan cover embroidered with evergreen pine and crane.

The embroidery is beautiful and the needlework is fine.

It looks like a good workmanship.

The fourteenth elder brother was brought back and handed over to Cao Yong: "Don't worry now?"

"Thank you Fourteen Baylor!" Cao Yong was relieved. If the family married someone who was not worrying, it would be difficult for his mother.

Kangxi was probably happy to be a matchmaker. Cao Yong’s marriage was arranged by someone he personally appointed. They got married in Beijing, and then let the young couple go south to Guangzhou, passing through Jiangning’s weaving mansion, and then went to visit his in-laws, allowing him to delay there for seven days. journey.

Cao Yong was very happy, and the fourteenth elder brother also sent someone to repair the Cao family's mansion in the capital.

In fact, the mansion of the Cao family in the capital is not dilapidated. After all, the two daughters of the Cao family got married here the year before last. He was just looking for an excuse to avoid a lot of trouble for Cao Yong.

Now that they are going to get married, why can't they welcome them at Baylor Mansion?

So the fourteenth elder brother entrusted Grandma Sun to take someone to clean up the other courtyard of the Cao Mansion.

Prepare everything that needs to be prepared, and Elder Fourteen also asks Wu Ya Yue Se to bring some snacks.

Wu Yayuese sent his eldest son, Wu Yaxian personally supervised the work, and handled the matter properly and beautifully. For this reason, Wu Yaxian even got a few words of appreciation from Kangxi.

But after Kangxi presided over the wedding, it was his Longevity Day, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to prepare for it.

The [-]th elder brother actually visited the thirteenth elder brother before the Wanshou Festival. The thirteenth elder brother was fine, but he just wrote Buddhist scriptures and worshiped the Buddha to pray for Kangxi.

But the fourteenth elder brother was angry: "Thirteenth brother, what are you looking at? What is your Fujin doing jumping up and down all day long?"

Thirteen's side Fujin, I don't know if it was because she wanted Shisan to die, she was making trouble at home all day, and went back to her natal family to ask for help, but she was kicked back by her natal family.

This is almost becoming a joke in the capital!

"She... is she okay?" Elder Brother Thirteen smiled wryly: "I can't go back here either."

"Are you asking about Thirteenth Sister-in-Law, or that woman? Thirteenth Sister-in-law is so emaciated because of you, but that woman doesn't talk about her heavy make-up, and even contradicts Thirteenth Sister-in-law, what the hell is this?" Ten The fourth elder brother got angry at the thirteenth elder brother: "After you go back, don't be indifferent to the thirteenth sister-in-law. Let me tell you that you are here, and the only ones who are really worried about you are the two mothers-in-law and the thirteenth sister-in-law!"

"I know, of course I'm asking about my Fujin." Brother Thirteen wiped his face: "A friend in need is a friend."

"It's good that you know that Thirteenth Sister-in-Law was terrified. Fortunately, there are two Empresses here, who will support Thirteenth Sister-in-Law from time to time. Last time she entered the palace, Thirteenth Sister-in-law brought side Fujin, Erniang and Concubine Min, Immediately punish that side Fujin to kneel at the gate of the palace for an hour!" Elder Fourteen said: "You'd better hold back now, and don't get too close to her in the future, a woman who jumps up and down all day long, the first wife Fujin in the main room didn't say anything, why is she yelling!"

The thirteenth elder brother muttered to himself: "Can I still go out?"

"Of course it can. Now Huang Ama is not in a good mood, there is no other way, it will be fine when he is in a good mood." Elder Fourteen patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, there are brothers!"

The thirteenth brother can only believe what the fourteenth brother said.

Fourteenth elder brother brought him a lot of seasonal clothes, as well as all kinds of food.

It's just that this Wanshou Festival is not going well. At the birthday banquet, those who should be absent are still absent.

The Thirteenth Fujin also prepared congratulatory gifts. When they went to the banquet, they were in the harem and followed Concubine Min. Concubine Min took her with her. The way mother-in-law and daughter-in-law depended on each other was pitiful, and Fujin Fang did not come.

Concubine De also sighed with embarrassment when she brought the four Fujin, but the four of them got together and made friends with Concubine Cheng and the others, which saved a lot of trouble.

But that night, Elder Fourteen made a bowl of birthday noodles for Kangxi, and also gave it to Kangxi to enjoy. This bowl of birthday noodles is different from last year. It uses seafood soup, which is light but delicious.

Kangxi ate the noodles and drank up the noodle soup in one gulp: "Fresh!"

"Is it fresh? This is the seafood that Erchen has kept for a long time. Because he was afraid that the fishbone would offend you, he specially beat the fish meat into fish balls, made it into fish tofu, and cooked it for a long time to make it into a broth!" Ten The fourth elder brother said: "I see that you have lost a lot of weight. I put two jiaodong sea cucumbers in it, and one egg with double yolks."

Kangxi glanced at the fourteenth elder brother: "I know you have thought up a new trick for Huang Ama, and I have been looking forward to it for a day before I ate it."

Brother Fourteen smiled: "Well, my son will come up with a new trick for you next year!"

Seeing his appearance, Kangxi smiled slightly: "Okay, I know what you're thinking, let Yinxiang come out, and go back to the mansion to think behind closed doors."

"Are you still thinking about it behind closed doors?" Elder Fourteen pouted, "Huang Ama, tell Brother Thirteen not to think about it behind closed doors. He is already a bald elder brother, so let's go out for a walk. Look at Brother Thirteen's personality. Can you hold it back? If it was Erchen, he would have climbed the wall and run away!"

How dare he say it!

Kangxi patted him on the head: "Still climbing the wall? Do you really think you are a monkey?"

"Hee hee!" Elder Fourteen took the opportunity to intercede with Elder Thirteen: "Ama Huang, please."

"Okay, okay, for your sake, let him come out, Huang Ama is going to inspect the Yongding River in a few days, will you go?" Kangxi put down the noodle bowl.

"Go!" Elder Fourteen said, "I heard that the Yongding River has been repaired well? You can still eat fresh fish with seeds in the river when you go there."

"Then follow along!" Kangxi had an expression of "I knew it".

His fourteenth son always thinks about food wherever he goes, and he is really like what he said, a foodie.

"Okay, okay!" Elder Fourteen said again: "Shall I bring Elder Thirteen together?"

Kangxi was silent for a moment: "Yes."

"Thank you Huang Ama!" The fourteenth elder brother was overjoyed, embraced Kangxi, and said "paw" in his old face: "My son, I will go to pass the decree and bring the thirteenth brother to thank you!"

"You!" Kangxi was kissed, stunned for a moment, but said with a smile: "It's fine to pass the decree, let him go back to rest, and go to Yongding River to patrol the river in a few days."

After all, Kangxi couldn't bear to reject Brother Fourteen, but that didn't mean he wanted to see Brother Thirteen.

He still hasn't forgiven Elder Brother Thirteen in his heart!

"Okay, okay, I will listen to Huang Ama. Huang Ama, my son wishes you a birthday. May you be as blessed as the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and your life will not be as old as Nanshan." The fourteenth elder brother was very happy, with a sunny smile, giving Kangxi made a salute: "My son, I will go with Li Dada to deliver the decree. The thirteenth brother wrote a Buddhist scripture and enshrined it in front of the Buddha, praying for Huang Ama's blessing and birthday. Huang Ama, the thirteenth brother already knew that he was wrong."

Brother Fourteen touched Kangxi's hand: "Don't be too angry, take care of yourself."

"I know." Kangxi patted Elder Fourteen's hand: "Go, go with Li Dequan and bring Shisan back."
