History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

"What are you laughing at, why don't you go to bed soon?" Fourth Master heard the laughter and turned to look at her.

Minning came over and rubbed her feet on his lap, "Master, do you think I look good?" She asked with very malicious intentions.

Fourth Master kept a straight face and moved her legs away, "Okay, go to sleep!"

Minning hissed secretly, so what if he said something nice?She turned her head to face him bitterly.

In the middle of the night, Fourth Master felt a heat source on his body sticking to him, and when he woke up, he found that Minning was wrapping his limbs around him like an octopus.

Minning's sleeping posture, Nanny Shi, has been corrected for two years, but it is usually fine, as long as there is someone next to her, she likes to hug her and sleep next to her.

Different from the regular sleeping posture of Fujin and other women, An Gege even had such an arrogant sleeping posture, which made fourth master feel that this person's sleeping posture was not worthy of her delicate face at all.

In fact, fourth master discovered it at the very beginning. She was so tired that she hugged him to sleep on the first night, and he got used to it later on.

But today was different, it was too hot for the two of them to stick together today, Minning fell asleep until nothing happened, but fourth master was different, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead in a blink of an eye when he was pressed against the heat source.

After breaking away from her, fourth master directly stuffed a porcelain pillow into her arms.

Probably because the coolness of the porcelain pillow made her very comfortable, and Minning couldn't let go of her hugging it.

Fourth master closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

The next day, Fourth Master was gone, and before Minning got up, Li Gege's complaint came from Fujin's courtyard.

This matter was caused by fourth master's separation of ice yesterday, Li Gege felt that he gave birth to two children for fourth master without credit or hard work.How could the ice given be the same as An Gege who had just entered the palace?In addition, Qiuyun went back yesterday to add oil and vinegar, which caused Li Gege to directly accumulate a fire in his heart, and complained to Fujin early this morning.

"...Second Elder Brother is also sweating profusely from the heat. Why didn't you see Master take the initiative to divide the ice? In the final analysis, it was An Gege who relied on Grandpa's favor to make Master think of it. Fujin, you should take care of the backyard too. In case some people are spoiled so much that they don’t know their surname. Just like Wu Fujin, at least a Baylor Fujin, if he doesn’t stand up, he is suppressed by a mere side Fujin.” Zhang Qilin is in charge of this backyard, and Fujin only listens to Zhang Qilin every day report.

It's as if she is not a concubine herself, but Sifujin remembers that when she didn't give birth to a big brother, Li Gege wanted to overwhelm her by relying on her seniority. The younger brother is not stingy, her current life is not much better than that of Wu Fujin.

In summer, no matter how old or young you are, the elder brother has had prickly heat these two days and developed a fever, which caused Si Fujin to be irritable. When she heard Li Gege's secret instigation, she choked back, "I have already told you about this matter." As I said, Angege's room was small and stuffy. When he went there yesterday, Angege almost fainted in the room. That's why I gave some of the ice cream to her. Didn't I also make up some for you later? Is it? Why are you still not satisfied? If you really have any opinions, you can raise them with the Lord himself. "

That's different, she gave birth to a son for her master, how could the ice she got be the same as a new Gege who just came in?She was still behind Angege, making others think that she was following Angege to take advantage of her fart.The most important thing is that my grandfather called for water in that Hu Meizi's room yesterday, who didn't know what he did in broad daylight?

How despicable it is that the master of the hook is prostitution in the daytime!

Li Gege swallowed the words of complaint, and if she continued, she would be ignorant.

After Fujin sent Li Gege away, he had a headache and said, "Everyone is not worried." Then he thought of An Gege in the yard, who was very peaceful when he first came here, but he showed his fox tail in just a few days. When I was mistaken, my impression of her plummeted immediately.

However, at present, the Lord is still pampering her, so she can't do anything to her. If she really makes a move, she won't be called jealous. Si Fujin cherishes her reputation very much.

Minning didn't know about all this, since fourth master left the night before, she didn't stay overnight at her place, but asked Su Peisheng to come over to get his underwear, clogs and other things.

Within two days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a bathtub. Min Ningke finally had a new toy, and took a bath after a nap every day. The water was dried under the sun at noon. Couldn't be more comfortable.

The only thing she was looking forward to was saltpeter, but there was no more content, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent over a list of books, and Minning ticked all of them, including astronomy, geography, history and mythology.She even asked for a copy of several rare Chinese translations of Western books.

In the blink of an eye, half a month later, Zhang Qilin came over this morning and gave her a chime clock, and told her that the fourth master would come over in the evening. After Minning rewarded her, he asked Bi Ying to place the chime clock in the main room.

The ticking of the pointer made Minning feel very friendly, and finally he didn't have to rack his brains to convert the time with the twelve earthly branches.

When Fourth Master came over in the evening, Minning couldn't wait to express his thanks, "Master, thank you for giving me the chime clock, it's much easier to recognize the time now."

Fourth Master bent her index finger and tapped her on the head, "You stick, it's not a gift, it's a gift!"

Min Ning immediately covered his forehead, flattened his mouth, and didn't turn his mind for a while. What is the difference between the two?

Isn't it all for her?

"Will it work?" Fourth master didn't continue to struggle, but changed the subject.

Minning nodded, widening his eyes as if thinking of something, "Master, you didn't come here because you thought I didn't know how to use it?"

The fourth master coughed uncomfortably, and patted her forehead again, "Since you know how to use it, then master is leaving first, the study still has some business to deal with."

Minning hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, don't, don't, sir, I still have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Fourth Master said that he wanted to leave, but he didn't move when he was pulled back, fully interpreting what is called duplicity.

Minning let go of him embarrassedly, pointed fingers, and said, "Well, sir, where did you buy this chime clock? I want to give one to my Ama. Ama often forgets the time in the workshop. I want to give him one. , let him remember to eat on time."

The fourth master's eyes fluctuated for a moment. He didn't answer directly, but said, "This kind of self-ringing bell was brought from the West by some people. It was very popular after it landed. Only a few were brought into the capital. Yours is from the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou. I came up." He thought he was called to thank him, but he didn't expect...

Fourth master's face immediately dropped a shade.

Doesn't this mean that this self-ringing clock can't be sold even if it has money?

Minning understood in seconds, and immediately refused, "Then it's better to use it for Fujin, I don't need it, and I don't need it if I stay in the yard all day." She hasn't noticed Si Ye's little awkwardness yet.

"It's okay, Fujin already has a bigger and better one. You are too small, and Fujin doesn't like it. Just accept it if you can!" The fourth master coldly refused.

When Minning heard this, he was happy at first, and then rolled his eyes, "Master, you are so kind to me!"

As soon as these words fell, fourth master's face showed signs of warming up.

Minning embraced his arm excitedly, "Master, do you think our craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty can make this self-ringing clock? If it is made, it must be sold for a good price, right?" All I think about is Brother Kong Fang.

Fourth Master patted her forehead, "You've got money in your eyes?"

The fourth master pondered for a while, and then said: "However, I heard that Lao Jiu dismantled Yifei's self-ringing bell two years ago, and was beaten up by Lao Wu. I think he has the same idea for you .However, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have not figured out what to do, just rely on your little cleverness, so don't even think about it!"

Min Ning took a big step back while clutching the place he hit, and said angrily, "Master, you always knock in one place, and if you break your head, they will haunt you for the rest of your life!"

Fourth Master choked in fright from her straightforward language.

Minning looked at him with a smile, and said, "Master, can I trouble you with something?"

Fourth Master coughed lowly, "Say."

Minning hurried over, and lightly beat his arm with his small fist, with a very obsequious gesture, "Master, can you please tell me, Ama, to help me collect more Western books, I I feel that with my ingenuity, as long as I thoroughly study Western books, I will be able to make a chiming bell."

Fourth master thought it was a little funny, but seeing her smug little face, after thinking about it, forget it, I'd better not hit her.

"I asked the people from the Thirteenth to do this. They have people who understand Western languages. I will let them translate it and send it to you. But you have to remember that I am waiting for your chime. If you don't make it , you have to accept the punishment of the master!"

Minning sniffed, and said proudly, "Don't worry, sir, I promise I won't let you down!"

In a blink of an eye, the end of June came to an end, and at this time a major event happened in the palace. The empress dowager fell ill all of a sudden, and she was so sick that she was bedridden. Even the emperor stayed by her side for two days in a row.

Like the main concubine, the prince, and Fujin all gathered in Yongshou Palace to fulfill their filial piety, no matter which elder brother's backyard was quiet, no one dared to encounter bad luck at this time.

Fortunately, a few days later, the Empress Dowager's condition turned from danger to safety, and when it was raining heavily on the day of Qiqiao Festival, the good news of the imperial physician finally came from Yongshou Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's condition has eased, and she will be fine after a while."

The emperor had a deep affection for his aunt, and when he heard the news, he finally felt a little better, and then recalled the previous medical records of the imperial physician, "Wu court judgment, you diagnosed the empress dowager's illness before as a result of a bad mood. We know that the cause of the disease originated from What's the matter?"

Court judge Wu pondered for a while before saying: "My Majesty, I think the Queen Mother should be homesick. I think it's because she saw things in her hometown. Too many thoughts lead to depression and loss of appetite. During the heavy rain last month, the temperature dropped. The Queen Mother should It was because I didn’t add clothes that I got a fever.”

No, the torrential rain at the end of June plunged the entire capital into the sea of ​​swamp. Although the rainwater was drained in time and took away the summer heat, the water was drained into the Hun River, causing the Hun River to flood, and several nearby villages were flooded. .

Someone in the capital reported it, but it was postponed due to the Queen Mother's illness. The emperor only ordered Shuntian Mansion to go to the disaster relief.

Hearing what the imperial physician said, the emperor instantly remembered that his aunt had left the grassland since she was 13 years old, and she hadn't returned for more than 40 years.Moreover, the queen mother can only speak Mongolian and a little Manchu. There are not many concubines in this palace who can speak Mongolian, and they can't speak the same language as the queen mother.No wonder the Empress Dowager got sick from boredom, she seemed to be homesick.

The emperor had a thought in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt guilty. After serving the queen mother with his own hands and drinking the medicine, he said to the queen mother, "Emiang, you don't have to worry about anything, just take care of your illness. When you get better, my son will take you back home." Kerqin take a look."

The queen mother was so happy when she heard that, she wished she could be cured on the spot.

At the end of July, the Empress Dowager got better, so Kangxi decided to send his aunt back to his hometown.

The fourth master was not on the accompanying list at the beginning, he was left behind in the capital to supervise the officials to manage the Yongding River, but on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, the emperor who was stationed at Luohan Bila suddenly remembered his fourth son, and did not know that the Yongding River was being controlled. At what stage the matter has progressed, they will send someone to recruit the fourth son quickly.
