The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The two of them talked about the old days, and the fourteenth master stayed with Nian Gengyao for dinner.

"Liang Gong, why don't you leave when you come back this time? You should report to my brother's place. The master keeps saying that your sister is married to my brother as a side Fujin, so it's only natural for you to work!" Fourteenth master also said Remember this.

Nian Gengyao's appointment had nothing to do with Nian's being in the mansion, but now Nian Gengyao has lost his father.

Nian Yaling is a governor at any rate, and without him, the Nian family's airs will collapse.

No matter how powerful Nian Xiyao was, he was not the governor of one party. In fact, the Nian family said that the best developed one was the Nian clan, the side Fujin of King Yongjun.

I heard that after the next year, my brother will ask her to be a side concubine.

"If you don't leave, just find an errand in Beijing." Nian Gengyao smiled brightly: "And I already have a clue, after all, I am the one who saved Jia."

Rescuing him is the biggest thing he has ever done in his life.

The fourteenth master stayed with Nian Gengyao for dinner, and the two chatted a lot, only to find out that they were very congenial with each other, especially the fourteenth master's unconstrained ideas, Nian Gengyao was able to keep up.

And some of Nian Gengyao's shocking remarks didn't even feel wrong to Fourteenth Master.

What made Nian Gengyao even more happy was that Master Fourteen's appreciation for him had not changed.

In the past, some people admired him, saying that he was young and promising, good-looking, and talented, but since his father retired and became an official, his attitude has changed a lot, and after his death, he is even more respectful and far away from him.

Fortunately, my younger sister got married, otherwise it would be a disaster if I delay my age.

It takes three years to keep filial piety in Virgo, which is 27 months.

Married women only need to observe filial piety for one year. Of course, those who want to show filial piety can also observe filial piety for three years.

But the Nian family is in the prince's elder brother's house, so it would be nice to have a year of filial piety.

In ancient times, the emphasis was on respect and not inferiority.

After the death of the emperor, there is nothing in the world; when the ministers die, I have never heard of the emperor wearing sackcloth and filial piety. It would be nice to have a vegetarian meal.

Nian Gengyao's heart was warm, and he was used to being cold-hearted. Only with the Fourteenth Master can he truly communicate with each other.

The Fourteenth Lord also thinks that Nian Gengyao is good, this person has bold ideas and humorous speech, no wonder he was able to get along in the army like a duck to water.

Just a little too bold.

If it weren't for his advanced thinking, he really couldn't accept Nian Gengyao's wild and unruly theories.

Nian Gengyao went to Yongjun Prince's Mansion the next day and stayed there for a whole day. He didn't know what he had discussed with the fourth master. Anyway, when he went to the fourth master's house for dinner on the [-]th, the fourth master said: "Nian Geng Yao is good."

"Not bad? I said he is a talent, but some ideas are more unconstrained." The Fourteenth Master said with a smile: "Brother uses his own people more, so he can be more reliable than outsiders."

"Well, I know." Fourth Master is very satisfied that the person recommended by his younger brother is not a waste: "Don't contradict third brother recently, and don't be bullied by him. I think he is a little anxious these days."

"Ah?" Fourteen looked up, not quite understanding: "What is he in a hurry for? The Chinese New Year will be here soon."

"Of course he is in a hurry." The fourth master said with a rare smile: "Both the elder brother and the second brother have fallen, and he is the biggest one left. It's a pity that Huang Ama didn't deal with the elder brother, and also invented an order to abolish the second brother." Brother, he and Lao Ba are in a hurry, Lao Ba still has a shortcoming, that is, he has no children!"

Throughout the dynasties, having no descendants is a big taboo, whether it is the Tian family or ordinary people.

The Ming Dynasty let the side branches inherit the throne because several emperors finally became extinct, which caused a lot of turmoil, and finally perished altogether.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to offspring.

In fact, the last few emperors of the Qing Dynasty were also finished because they had no children.

"He... If he can take in a concubine's room or something, he can still have children. The eighth sister-in-law can't give birth by herself, and she is so strict with mynah." The Fourteenth Master knew that in history, the eighth Fujin had no children.

And the eighth elder brother has only one son and one daughter, born to two concubines.

"Even if you look for it after the new year, it will take three to five months to conceive, right? If you give birth, it will be at least next year. It's good to be an elder brother, if you are a princess...; Also, the birth of a child does not mean Just raise it up." Fourth master said flatly: "Not to mention this child's IQ, ability, and moreover, it needs to be cultivated when he is seven or eight years old, where is the time?"

Speaking of which, among the sons of the princes and brothers, the eldest son of the fourth master is not only the top one, but he is also the best one.

Si Fujin is also a virtuous and generous hostess, who manages the backyard in an orderly manner, and has a beautiful wife and concubine. Compared with the eighth master, the fourth master is simply a winner in life.

The Fourteenth Master laughed: "Then he is in a hurry now?"

Fourth master drank a glass of wine: "Baby is in a hurry, and made a foolish move."

But what kind of stupid move, the fourth master didn't say, the fourteenth master guessed that it was probably not a good method.

It will be Chinese New Year soon, and this year, I still haven't seen King Zhijun, the crown prince is still locked in Xian'an Palace, the fourth master still respects the crown prince, and serves him according to the crown prince's rules, not because of being locked up in Xian'an Palace. In Xian'an Palace, what's the difference to the prince.

Others can't.

Basically, no one has been to Xian'an Palace except Fourth Master.

Even King Heng, who is half responsible, has never been there.

But the King of Yongjun never falls for a day, no matter how busy he is, he will go to see it. Although the prince no longer has the original luxury life, food and clothing are still guaranteed, especially in winter, fresh vegetables are not cut off.

Others saw their teeth itching, especially Cheng Baylor, who had said it several times. After seeing the first month of the new year, King Yong took two eunuchs and carried a big thermal food box. Cheng Baylor gritted his teeth and followed He went into Xian'an Palace, and looked at the fourth master by the way: "I said, fourth brother, you are like this, it seems that your third brother and I are very dishonest, this is a waste of the crown prince."

"Third brother, Huang Ama didn't expressly order to abolish the crown prince." The fourth master led people into the house in his spare time.

"My younger brother wishes the second elder brother of the prince a New Year's greeting." The fourth master was very polite, and the third elder brother stood coldly and snorted coldly.

"Get up, fourth brother." The crown prince has lost a lot of weight, but he is full of energy.

Fourth Master opened the food box. There was a small charcoal basin at the bottom of the food box. There was water sitting on top of it, and it could be heated by adding heat, so that the food placed on it would be served hot on the table.

And fourth master's food box has another magical function.

A lot of vegetables, meat and seafood, etc., he also brought out the small charcoal basin under the food box, and added a stew pot.

It is a hot pot for roasting duck in bird's nest.

The bird's nest is an official swallow, and the duck is an old duck, three years old.

The dishes are also very good. Cheng Baylor pursed his lips, and the envy and jealousy in his eyes were about to come out. Ever since Emperor Ama asked Shisi to cut off the share and bonus for him, Shisi didn't even give away food. It's winter. They were used to eating green vegetables, but now they can only eat dried vegetables. If you spend money to buy them, you will die dearly. There are many people in the Chengbeile family, not only wives and concubines, but also many children.

Cheng Baylor couldn't afford that money.

Fourteen's leafy vegetable shop is very dark, and can sell green vegetables for a price of silver.

They served the crown prince's meal in Xian'an Palace, and then withdrew, neither lingering nor chatting, but everything in Xian'an Palace could not be hidden from Kangxi's eyes and ears.

After Kangxi found out, he was silent for a long time, and asked Gu Chao: "How many people went?"

"Not many." Gu Chao said: "Only the responsible King Zhijun, King Yongjun, and Cheng Baylor have been there. Others, at most, just ask. They haven't been, including Fourteen Baylor."

Kangxi touched the Tuanlong jade pendant hanging on his waist: "Since I was young, I was not close to the prince, and the prince was not very generous at the time, so I had a lot of trouble with Shishi. It is rare that the fourth child still misses the prince so much High and low."

Gu Chao was shocked.

Since Kangxi brought the prince back from the Rehe Palace, he called the prince "Second Elder Brother", and when he hated him deeply, he would call him "Yinfeng".

This is the first time that Lord Long Live calls the second elder brother "Prince" after "Assassination of the Holy Driver" and "Peeping the Emperor's Trace".

"Continue to look at Xian'an Palace." Kangxi lowered his head: "Where is Lao Ba?"

"Bafujin has been crying in the palace for half a year. The concubine Yi is very embarrassed. Babeile has never had a child. Bafujin can no longer have a child. He will not ask Babeile for a beautiful girl Gege. This is unreasonable." Gu Chao couldn't even look at it. down.

Whose elder brother doesn't have a group of wives and concubines?

Even Nalan Rongruo, who is so dedicated, wrote "a couple for a lifetime", which refers to his relationship with his original spouse, not just his original spouse and one woman.

Nalan Rongruo married three of them just as his main wife.

The side room and concubine's room are not bad, and there is even an outer room outside.

"Well, I didn't expect Prince An's granddaughter to have some tricks. In recent years, Babeile...hasn't had a child?" I didn't want to be clear, but after thinking about it, I noticed that there seemed to be no good news from Babeile's house.

"Less than a year after Babeile got married, two of Babeile's concubines died of illness one after another, and one fell into the water. After being fished out, they were poured with water, caught a cold and were frightened. A few days later... "Gu Chaoxin said that Ba Fujin's method was too direct.

Three died within a year, and since then, Babeile has not found another woman.

Babeile himself can be regarded as clean and self-sufficient, and he can still hold on in this respect, the key is that he is busy with business.

I guess I don't have the heart to look for flowers and ask willows.

This also allowed Ba Fujin to monopolize the backyard.

I heard that the maids serving in their family are not very good looking, and the big maids are even below the level, and they mostly use women and servants.

"So that's how it is." Kangxi thought for a while, then waved his hand: "Go down first."

"Hey!" Gu Chao went down.

Kangxi called Wei Zhu in: "Go, find some portraits of beautiful girls, and take me to Xianfu Palace with you to see Concubine Liang."

"Hey!" Wei Zhu hurried to find the portrait of Xiu Nu.

He found ten of them, ranging from the daughters of first-rank officials to the daughters of fifth-rank officials.

He is worthy of the prince's elder brother, as a concubine, and as a concubine.

Moreover, each of the ten people here has brothers and sisters, has both parents and a healthy family background.

The Xianfu Palace was as calm as water as always.

The concubine Liang lived here with a good temper. The people who lived with her were concubines, nobles, and often low-ranking concubines, and most of them were unfavored. Many people had seen Kangxi beautifully for more than ten years. face.

Although it was the New Year, the Xianfu Palace was not noisy. Although the servants were beaming and the maids wore red velvet flowers, the masters liked to be quiet, and even if they wanted to make trouble, they couldn't make it.

The arrival of Kangxi surprised everyone who was very Buddhist!

In particular, Kangxi went directly to Concubine Liang.

Not only were they surprised, Concubine Liang was even more surprised, okay?

Concubine Liang hasn't talked to Kangxi properly for several years.

"My concubine greets the Lord Long Live." The good concubine Wei's rules are quite good, and the way of greeting her is always with a touch of elegance.

Different from the grandeur of the noble ladies of Manchuria, this kind of elegance, coupled with her gorgeous appearance, is a must.

"Get up." Kangxi helped Concubine Liang up for the first time.

The two entered the room together, and Kangxi sat on the main seat: "Let's have dinner with you today."

"Yes, my concubine will arrange for someone to make two stir-fried dishes for you." Concubine Liang smiled gently: "Today, there are leeks and green peppers sent by Fourteen Belle in the small kitchen, stir-fried a leek egg, and a stir-fried pork with green peppers. "

"Yeah." Kangxi nodded: "Your place is still clean, did Fourteen give you good things? He gave me a handful of chives, saying that I can't put more of them, and he will give you a fresh one every day. Don't eat leftovers, but in the morning, I ate steamed dumplings stuffed with chives and yellow beef, and they were gone!"

Concubine Liang was blessed, and said with a smile: "The concubine will make you another leek dish!"

Kangxi's dinner must be more than two small stir-fries, and Liangfei's meal is also very rich, and it will be even richer during the Chinese New Year.

After the two of them had dinner and sat drinking tea together, Kangxi mentioned it: "Lao Ba has been married for several years, you should also talk about Lao Ba's wife, don't always be jealous and monopolize Lao Ba."

Concubine Liang smiled softly: "Lao Ba and Lao Ba's wife are also in a hurry."

She didn't say anything else, and even covered the two of them.

"I know you are soft-hearted and have a kind temper, but Lao Ba's wife...is too much." Kangxi said: "I even regret that I have given Lao Ba a marriage with such a daughter-in-law."

Concubine Liang's smile was a bit forced: "Is it okay?"

"Look, these ten beautiful girls were selected by me to give to Lao Ba, you choose two, and I will give them to Lao Ba myself." Kangxi said: "My daughter-in-law should always find someone who suits you."

Concubine Liang's smile cracked: "What... do you mean?"

Is her daughter-in-law going to be replaced?

"At least give Lao Ba a side Fujin and a concubine Fujin." Kangxi waved his hand: "Don't think too much, this beautiful woman will give birth to Lao Ba's child in the future, and she will also be your grandchildren."

"Yes." Concubine Liang nodded with difficulty: "Then the concubine will take a look."

Kangxi was satisfied, and then he drove back.

On the second day, the eight blessings entered the palace to congratulate the empresses in the palace on the new year. This time she went to the empress Yifei, only to hear that Kangxi had given Concubine Liang ten portraits of beautiful women!
