My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1152 Orphan
After the rest, the rest of the journey will be fast.

Around noon, Shengjia's team returned to the capital.

Seeing Shengjia enter the palace, the adult prince who followed him also dispersed.

The ninth elder brother was already hungry, so he followed the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother and the tenth elder brother on the same journey back to the prince's mansion.

The fourth elder brother wanted to talk to the ninth elder brother, but seeing that the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were riding together, and no one talked to the eighth elder brother, he did not move, and said to the eighth elder brother: "The autumn decision is postponed. Forget about the locality, here in the capital, I am afraid that there will be troubles caused by the sufferer, these days, you should be more careful when you go in and out, bring more guards, and don't go out of the city."

After hearing this, the eighth elder brother felt bitter.

Although the prince is precious, but when it comes to life and death enmity, others really want to trade their lives for their lives, so they dare to fight.

This is the wrath of the man.

He nodded and said, "Well, I've made a note of it, thank you fourth brother!"

Brother Nine and Brother Ten followed behind, listening attentively, the brothers looked at each other.

It's a dangerous job.

The third elder brother cleaned up the house of internal affairs in May. What is the coat? It's just a servant of the royal family.

It is hard to guarantee that the officials and civilians involved in the previous dynasty were not lonely and courageous.

In the prince's mansion, Shu Shu was also looking at the time.

When I wake up this morning, I don’t have the freedom and comfort of yesterday, and the rest is worrying.

I'm afraid Brother Jiu won't be able to eat well or sleep well.

The temperature in the mountains is low, and I am afraid of catching a cold sooner or later.

Estimating the time, and arriving in Beijing around noon, Shu Shu asked the dining room to boil a big bone soup for preparation.

When Brother Jiu came back, she hadn't eaten her lunch yet, so the husband and wife ate it together.

It's relatively simple, it's braised noodles in bone soup, with cabbage in it.

This was sent back by Brother Nine yesterday afternoon.

After eating a bowl of hot noodles, elder brother Jiu finally came back to life. Looking at Shu Shu, he said, "I don't like to be outside alone, I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well."

Shu Shu pointed to her dark circles, and said, "I miss you too, I couldn't sleep alone last night."

Actually it wasn't, she was chatting with Walnut, after hours, she was sleepy, so she went to bed late.

Nine Elder Brothers said: "In the future, if I am by myself, I won't go far away. It's only been a day, and I don't worry about it. If it takes longer, I will think about it even more."

Shu Shu nodded in response, but felt that something else was still needed in her heart.

It would be better if it was longer.

After taking a nap, Brother Jiu didn't move his place, so he called Sun Jin and told him, "Go and see how He Yuzhu is doing. If he's still not feeling well, ask someone to ask the doctor to come and have a look."

Sun Jin agreed and went to see He Yuzhu.

Only then did Shu Shu know that He Yuzhu was ill, and she heard from Brother Jiu that she caught a cold when she came out of the warm room, so she said to Walnut, "Give him a few Sangju pills, it's for colds and colds, tell him to take a good rest." For a few days, don't worry about my grandfather's place."

Walnut went down to find the medicine, and went out to deliver the medicine.

Brother Jiu was already leaning on the kang, and said: "Master, I never thought about He Yuzhu's background before, but I haven't heard that he has relatives outside for more than ten years. Now that I think about it, I guess it's the same as Wei Zhu. Almost, I have no relatives, and it is pitiful to enter the palace purely for the sake of Fan Zhe."

He Yuzhu is the eunuch of Haha Zhuzi, and he was with Brother Jiu when he was ten years old.

There is no lower age limit for a young eunuch to enter the palace after purification, but there is no one who is too young, fearing that he will not be able to endure the pain of purification, nor can he serve others. Generally, he must be eight years old or above.

The upper limit is 16 years old.

In the first year of entering the palace, they usually learn the rules, and then they are assigned to various places as errands.

He Yuzhu was able to come to the prince's side in his teens, and he had learned enough of the rules to come here. Calculating this way, he would enter the palace at the age of eight or nine.

Shu Shudao: "Now that we are living outside the palace, if the Lord wants to give He Yuzhu grace, it's easy, just ask him if he has any other relatives."

Brother Nine heard this, shook his head and said: "Don't ask, even if you have relatives, who can send your flesh and blood to the palace, what kind of good person can't be? Most likely like Wei Zhu's uncle and aunt, it's not enough to occupy the nephew's property , You have to force people to death to be at ease."

Shu Shu listened, and it made sense.

Even if they are poor people who can no longer eat, even if they sell their children as slaves, it is better than sending them to the palace as slaves.

But all the little eunuchs in the palace have their own heels.

It's not that a beggar on the street wants to purify himself when he enters the palace, and he must have relatives to protect him, otherwise he won't be able to survive the purging, and it will be a life that no one can bear.

Shu Shu said: "It's my fault, it's better not to touch such relatives."

Brother Nine knows Shu Shuxin is kind, and doesn't like her to think about these things. He changed the conversation and mentioned Xiao Liu, boasting: "Xiao Liu is not bad, and he survived beside Brother Fifteen. Eight companions, this time Hu only ordered two, and there was Xiao Liu."

Shu Shu said: "Brother Fifteen is a tolerant and soft-hearted child."

Brother Nine said: "Well, it makes sense when you look at it..."

After a while, Sun Jin came back with Walnut.

He Yuzhu didn't have a fever, so he didn't ask to call a doctor, but he also left Sangju pills, and planned to take them for two days, so he wouldn't come to the main room in these two days.

Brother Nine and Shu Shu put the matter aside.

I thought the matter of the little eunuch was just mentioned casually, but there was a follow-up the next day.

It is also a coincidence.

The eunuchs in the palace are all managed by the respect room. In fact, there are quite a few eunuchs in each palace, one carrot and one pit, and there is no wealth at all.

Right now, the seventeenth brother is four years old, and the eighteenth brother is two years old, and he has to prepare eunuchs for the two elder brothers in advance.

The little eunuch will have to be raised for half a year to a year after cleansing, and one or two years to learn the rules. If you don't prepare now, it will be too late to prepare temporarily.

In the yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Nine looked at the documents sent by the respect room, and frowned.

According to the documents, 40 people are going to be eunuchs, 20 people are from 16 to 20 years old, and [-] people are from [-] to [-] years old.

The prince was divided into palaces at the age of six, and there were four eunuchs named Haha Zhuzi.

These 20 people are prepared for selection.

As for more, it is filled everywhere.

Because the old eunuch has reached his age, his physical strength is exhausted, and he can no longer work as a servant, so he has to leave the palace.

After the Ministry of Internal Affairs stamped the seal, it was necessary to post a notice to start recruiting eunuchs.

First recommended by the eunuch who has a memorial tablet in the palace, and then write down the transaction letter of documents similar to the marriage letter, as well as the life and death documents, before they can be purified into the palace book.

Brother Nine sighed, looked at Brother Twelve and said: "Look at these poor people, we were born in the royal family, we are truly blessed."

Elder Brother Twelve also found out that there are not many eunuchs in the palace who enter the palace by themselves, they are all sold by their parents and relatives.

"What if it's a kidnapped child?"

Brother Twelve was a little worried.

He is also a man, he knows the preciousness of life, this is really a knife, there is no room for repair, but it is too deceitful.

After hearing this, Brother Jiu was also vigilant, and said: "Someone has to investigate clearly, and we can't be confused."

Thinking of this, he picked up a pen and wrote a few sentences on the paperwork, and the identity check must be strictly checked.

Unless your own parents have taken the household registration certificate, it is their own flesh and blood; otherwise, elders such as uncles and uncles are not allowed to accept it directly, and they must check carefully to ensure that there is no suspicion of abduction.

When the official documents are released, brother Jiu will let go of this matter.

He has been the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years, and his subordinates also know his temper and don't like to worry about it, but he has made a special statement, and he will still ask questions later, no one dares to fool him.

In the eyes of Brother Jiu, eunuch in the palace is an extremely miserable occupation, but it is a good way out for poor people with many sons.

Even a small eunuch has two taels of silver per month, one and a half buckets of rice, and six hundred yuan for public expenses.

Therefore, many of the eunuchs in the palace have entrusted people from the countryside on hand, and they are waiting for the news of the recruitment of eunuchs in the palace.

Brother Nine, within a few days of official documents, the forty places were divided up by the eunuchs in the palace.

As a eunuch, he has no heirs, and he is willing to drag one or two fellow villagers to take care of him.

Because of Brother Nine's orders, the forty eunuch candidates who were sent to the imperial city to wait went through several rounds of interrogation.

It is indeed his own flesh and blood, as evidenced by the household registration booklet, and it is indeed his parents.

For those who do not have a household registration booklet as proof, even if it is sent by the grandfather, they must be checked.

In the end, it was found that two of them were wrong, one was from Tongzhou, sent by my uncle, thin and small, with many scars.

This is no one else, but the concubine of Yaqibu, the eighth elder brother's nurse, who is barely eight years old.

After Yaqibu was indicted last year, several houses and shops that Yaqibu bought in Tongzhou were also raided.

The money used to buy property is the branch money of the invaded eighth elder brother, and those houses and shops directly belong to the eighth elder brother.

Long before the inspection, the outer house that was kept took over the private house and took the son back to her mother's house.

What kind of a good person is someone who can give his own sister to the old man as his concubine?
The outer room is also a scheming person, holding the private house tightly.

At the beginning, the mother and son were kicked out when they heard Yazib's questioning.

Later, when Yaqibu died and time had changed, he hypocritically took her back, but this time he became cruel and accepted a high-priced gift, intending to sell the girl.

The outer room took a step ahead, took its private house and ran away with the passing merchants.

The merchant only knew that he was from Chengdu, and he came to Beijing to sell cinnabar, but he didn't know anything else.

The uncle fetched water from the bamboo basket in vain, did not get any money, and was left to eat, so he beat and scolded him day and night.

When he found out that the palace was recruiting eunuchs, the uncle found a way to send them over, thinking that it would be the money for selling himself into the palace, and the monthly silver of 24 taels of silver for the next year.

After the inside story was interrogated and reported to Brother Nine, Brother Nine was embarrassed.

This person is definitely not acceptable.

But such uncle tiger wolf, if the child continues to be kept, he will either sell himself into slavery or die after being tortured.

This kid was supposed to be in the banner, but he was naturalized because he was a concubine.

Now that I know, do you want to join the flag?
Brother Jiu thought about it, and then went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

He doesn't like to deal with the eighth elder brother, but it is impossible to clean up the eighth elder brother's tail.

Yaqibu and his wife obey the law, but there is still a daughter.

It seems to have been sent to Zhuangzi.

Is this child sent to his sister to be raised?
