The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The big maid didn't know why, she fell from the big maid to the position of burning fire girl.

But everyone else understands that she is talking too much, this big maid is a godsister with a little maid in the courtyard of Concubine Li.

Nian Gengyao didn't know yet that he gave gifts to Prince Yong's mansion, and he even revealed the right and wrong.

After returning home, I found out that Prince Xun's Mansion had sent many things over and asked Nian Gengyao to take them to the northwest.

In addition to the things that Nian Gengyao's family had prepared for him, as well as the concubine Nian sent him, Nian Gengyao brought four carts of luggage with him when he left Beijing this time.

Simply put, Nian Gengyao was following the convoy transporting military supplies and salaries, which was unremarkable.

They had to arrive at their destination before the snow fell, so they couldn't delay. When they set off, the Fourteenth Master didn't go to see him off, but that day, the Fourteenth Master stood on the tower and blew the autumn wind for a long time.

Turned around and got a little hot.

The little bottle was in a hurry: "Grandpa, why are you bothering? If you want to see the scenery, there is no good scenery? Why do you go to the city gate to blow the autumn wind?"

"You don't understand!" The Fourteenth Master shook his head: "It's not the rustling autumn wind, but the feeling of parting."

"The servant doesn't understand, but the servant knows that you have caught a cold." The little bottle insisted on taking care of the fourteenth master, drinking the medicine, and not opening the windows and doors. It was the fourteenth master covering his sweat. The fourth master is well fed, but the little bottle is too sleepy, let the fourteenth master take a few days off to take care of him.

September is the Chongyang Festival, and the autumn is breezy and crisp.

Autumn swallows fly high, golden autumn harvest.

Next year will be the 52nd year of Kangxi and the [-]th birthday of Emperor Kangxi.

So this year has a bumper harvest, and the most important thing is that the household department is rich!

The storage of 100 million taels of gold made the two Manchu and Han ministers in the household department straighten their backs.

But at this time, Kangxi transferred Prince Yong to the household department again to take care of the household department's treasury.

Now, it is difficult for many people to borrow money again.

The [-]th birthday of the Long Live Lord will be in March next year, and everyone is trying their best to make a birthday present for the Long Live Lord. This birthday gift cannot be simple.

The Fourteenth Lord is also busy with the birthday ceremony.

Although it has only entered September, the Fourteenth Master couldn't help but start preparing.

But he was called into the palace by Kangxi.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Kangxi moved back to the palace, but Kangxi was bored in the palace, so he had no choice but to find his fourteenth son to talk and chat.

"Since Huang Ama is bored, why don't you go to the north to soak in the hot springs? The Xiaotangshan Palace is already built." The Fourteenth Lord never forgets the hot springs. Now that Nian Gengyao is not around, he can only go to the hot springs by himself.

By the way, his old Ama, soaking in hot springs is definitely good for the body, Kangxi's blood circulation is not very good, he can feel it, every time he touches Kangxi's hand, he feels a little cold.

Probably the peripheral nerve circulation is not good, let's take a dip in the hot spring!

"Then let's go to the Xiaotangshan Palace!" Kangxi also wanted to go to the hot springs, but he said he was embarrassed, but the fourteenth son was really considerate.

"Take Er Niang with you?" Fourteenth Master said: "E Niang can live in Erchen's other courtyard, there is a special pool for soaking."

But Kangxi said: "Your mother has a separate pool to soak in. Take your mother, concubine Yi, concubine Min, um, Mrs. Wang will also go."

Concubine De, Concubine Yi, Concubine Min, Concubine Wang.

Concubine De is the mother-in-law of Fourth Master and Fourteenth Master.

Concubine Yi is the biological mother-in-law of Fifth and Ninth Masters.

Concubine Min is the biological mother-in-law of Lord Thirteen and two princesses, Wen Ke and Dun Ke.

Concubine Wang, who hasn't been mentioned for a long time, she is the birth mother of the fifteenth, sixteenth and eighteenth princes.

Now the favored concubine in the palace is a concubine named Sehetu. She is eighteen or nineteen years old and is said to be very charming.

But this time Kangxi didn't take her with him.

Kangxi was a restless person, so he left whenever he wanted to, so three days later, Shengjia went to Xiaotangshan Palace to recuperate, so that the hot springs around the Xiaotangshan Palace were full of people in an instant, and they were all property of the Fourteenth Lord, and they could be leased. Want to buy, no!

All around here are the fourteenth master's properties, from the vegetable greenhouse to the hot spring courtyard, the fourteenth master has made a lot of money.

But Shisi didn't treat them badly. After all, they were big customers. The people under Shishi's subordinates provided all kinds of fruits and vegetables to the hot spring courtyard. They were so fresh that people couldn't help but look forward to eating every day.

Even Kangxi said to Fourteen: "You have grown your vegetable shed in a variety of ways."

"Isn't that for Huang Ama?" The Fourteenth Master conveniently gave Kangxi a dish of stir-fried beef tenderloin with two peppers.

This dish is made of red peppers and yellow peppers cut into thick shreds and stir-fried with beef tenderloin. The peppers are not spicy, but sweet and delicious. The color of beef tenderloin is very fresh and beautiful.

Kangxi ate the dish Sisi gave him: "Yes, I don't know who ordered this dish."

"Huang Ama, you have to eat meat, but you can't eat all meat, you have to match it with vegetables." However, Master Fourteen has also considered the dishes for Kangxi. Not to mention the combination of meat and vegetables, the fried beef is tender and tender Yes, it is very suitable for Kangxi to eat.

Kangxi is a little afraid of death now, he seldom eats meat, and has become a vegetarian like Prince Yong.

But he is so old, it's okay if he can't keep up with his nutrition, and the imperial chefs are also struggling.

Fortunately, the fourteenth master's vegetable shed can provide some precious fruits and vegetables to the palace. Kangxi is not short of food, the main reason is that he can't whet his appetite.

The Fourteenth Master gave Kangxi and Concubine De all kinds of fresh vegetables. The strawberries produced in the shed were not divided into seasons, and they were basically available all year round.

And it came in a different way, otherwise Kangxi wouldn't have eaten it so smoothly.

"Got it, got it, you whispered in my ear all day long." Although Kangxi said disgusting words on his lips, he felt very good in his heart.

Fourteen's hot spring shed did make a lot of money, but Fourteen was the first to provide it to the palace for free.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also has a vegetable shed, but it is not as good as here in the fourteenth, and there are many tricks.

At most, they would supply some common goods to the palace. For example, they could grow strawberries and tomatoes here at Fourteen, but they could not grow peaches and blueberries.

"Then you have to listen to it. After a while, I will accompany you to go out for a walk, and then go to the hot spring. By the way, I will cook for you at night. I will cook seafood noodles for you and have a hot spring boiled egg. "The Fourteenth Master muttered to arrange the time after Kangxi's dinner: "Don't always read the booklets, you can never finish reading the booklets, Huang Ama should pay more attention to rest."

Kangxi paused the hand holding the food: "Got it, got it."

After dinner, Kangxi and Shisi visited the garden in the palace with great interest. Because it was built on top of the hot spring, there were some out-of-season flowers in the garden, but there was a hint of spring in the rustling autumn wind. Unexpectedly, this surprised Kangxi very much.

The Fourteenth Master also pointed to the flowers and said, "Send some to Er Niang and the other empresses."

The flowers bloom well, most of them are chrysanthemums, and there is a kind of Jinsihuang chrysanthemum, which is very beautiful and is Kangxi's favorite flower.

There is also a pair of black chrysanthemums, which the Fourteenth Master asked Kangxi to give to Concubine De.

When the sun set, Fourteen followed Kangxi to the hot spring pool.

He took a shower first, then wrapped a bath towel and went down to take a bath in the hot spring pool.

"I'll rub your back for you, and I'll press it when you get out." Fourteenth Master said: "Soak your feet, rub your feet, sleep well at night, and feel comfortable."

"Well, you have learned many talents." Kangxi smiled: "Looking at you like this, how long have you been studying?"

"Since my son came here for the first time, I learned a little bit, barely pass the skills, and Huang Amado will take care of me." The fourteenth master turned into a scrubber and rubbed Kangxi, and the father and son were quite happy.

"Huang Ama, my son will give you a press." The Fourteenth Master asked Kangxi to soak in the hot spring for 10 minutes, and then fished Kangxi out. After washing, Kangxi lay on the soft couch, and the Fourteenth He pressed everything inside and out: "Is it comfortable?"

"That's right, I've made some achievements in my studies, and my skills are good." Kangxi enjoyed his son's service very much, although it was not as comfortable as a massage eunuch who specialized in this.

But his son's filial piety is what he enjoys most.

"Huang Ama, I'll soak my feet in a while. I specially found the formula to soak your feet. I will rub them for you." Fourteenth Master has already prepared a massage cream for massaging your feet.

Kangxi nodded: "I will listen to your arrangement now."

The Fourteenth Lord arranged Kangxi on a soft couch, brought in a wooden barrel, filled with warm herbal juice, put Kangxi's feet in it, and even his calves were submerged.

"Are you soaking your feet or soaking your legs?" Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw such a foot soaking thing.

"This is the most comfortable way to soak your feet. It's a little hot, but not hot." The Fourteenth Master rolled up his sleeves: "I haven't been back for a long time, and I'm busy this time, so I don't have time to be filial to the emperor." Ama, now my servants will take care of you more, and do my best to be filial."

"Well, you have a heart." Kangxi lay there reclined, and his son washed his feet.

After soaking for 10 minutes, Lord Fourteen took out Kangxi's feet, wiped them clean, applied massage cream, and rubbed his feet.

Probably because Master Fourteen rubbed it so comfortably, Kangxi fell asleep after rubbing it.

The Fourteenth Lord put Kangxi's feet on the soft stool, and used the soft stool to form a small square to support Kangxi's feet. Seeing that Kangxi was sleeping soundly, he covered Kangxi with a small blanket, and gently let Kangxi I slept until dawn.

When he woke up, Kangxi felt very comfortable all over.

"Huang Ama, are you awake?" The Fourteenth Master was on the floor next to him, sleeping on a bunk, guarding Kangxi.

"Oh, why are you sleeping on the floor?" Kangxi took a look and found that Shishi was sleeping on the floor. Although the floor was quite thick, it was also on the floor.

However, this is in the room next to the hot spring pool for bathing. It is hot, warm, and humid. The winter in the capital is dry and cold, so it is more comfortable here.

Kangxi is indeed very comfortable.

"I am guarding you, I am afraid that you will wake up in the middle of the night, but you are really too tired, the quality of sleep is really good, I slept until dawn, Huang Ama, I wanted to treat you to supper Ye, now, my son treats you to breakfast!"

"Okay!" Kangxi was very relaxed, and he felt very comfortable after resting for a night.

The fourteenth master was happy: "I will make you a fresh one!"

A nest of shredded ramen, put a lot of seafood in it, seafood ramen with hot spring eggs.

Kangxi was quite curious when he ate it: "Can this egg be boiled in hot spring water?"

"It can't be fully cooked, but the candied ones are delicious." The Fourteenth Master mixed hot spring eggs into the seafood ramen for him, Huang Ama: "Take a look."

Kangxi just took a bite: "The taste is quite special."

The next day, the Fourteenth Lord took his Huang Ama to the vegetable shed in the gap where the Long Live Lord was resting.

It was the first time Kangxi saw what Fourteen's vegetable shed looked like.

It is made of wood, covered with glass sheets from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and sealed with white cotton cloth to prevent the cold wind from entering. The copper pipes have hot spring water flowing through them to ensure the temperature.

After entering, the goal is a piece of green, this is a cucumber vegetable shed.

"Huang Ama, would you like to pick some cucumbers first?" The Fourteenth Master pointed to the vegetable shed and said, "The one next to it is the vegetable shed with horned melons, and the one next to it is the snake gourd."

"Then I'll take a look." Kangxi was in high spirits, Liang Jiugong carried a basket, and one master and one servant picked a lot of cucumbers, and the ones next door were horned melons, snake melons and some other fruits and vegetables.

When I turned back, I asked the imperial chef to cook.

Kangxi felt that the green vegetables tasted much better on this day.

The next day, the Fourteenth Master pestered his Huang Ama to go fishing. The fish he caught was also cooked by the imperial chef. Kangxi felt that the fish tasted good, especially in autumn, when eating boiled fish was delicious.

In this way, the Fourteenth Master let Kangxi relax and combine work and rest, which made Kangxi feel very comfortable, but gradually, the Fourteenth Master felt that his Huang Ama might still have something on his mind, and he had been very happy in the past few days, but he After being happy, I got tangled up.

He could tell that Kangxi had something on his mind, but he didn't want others to know.

The Fourteenth Master couldn't figure it out, so he asked Kangxi directly: "Huang Ama, what's the matter with you? What's on your mind? Tell Erchen and see if Erchen can help you relieve your worries?"

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I'll tell you when your Huang Ama really has nothing to do."

"I just want to share your worries and solve your problems. Although you are the Lord Long Live, you are also a human being. You can't keep everything in your heart. I am so tired of you." The Fourteenth Master also smiled: "But You don't want to say it, and I don't want to ask more. When do you think it's time to tell my son? Don't forget to tell my son. I hope that Huang Ama will manage the Qing Dynasty with ease and energy, instead of being tired. Everyone has to pant to govern the country, that's too tiring, Huang Ama, don't be so tired."

The Fourteenth Master felt that his Huang Ama was getting more and more powerless.

But dare not say it directly.

She just looked at him more worriedly.

Kangxi saw the worry in Fourteen's eyes that could not be ignored, and suddenly understood Fourteen's son's worry: "Don't worry, your Emma, ​​you are still growing strong."
