My father-in-law is Kangxi

After hearing the news about Fei Yanggu, Qi Xi fell into silence.

The two families belong to the two banners. According to Manchu rules, they are divided into two clans, each with its own clan leader. However, because the Dong E family has a small surname, the population is not large. The two families have always been close and help each other. .

Fei Yanggu was 14 years old when he became the earl, Peng Chun was also in his teens here, and Xindali was still young when he inherited the title.

Because the direct descendants of several families were succeeded by their children, the Dong E family of both banners had been silent for more than twenty years.

Until the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories, they took the opportunity to join the war. Fei Yanggu and Peng Chun, brothers from the clan, both accumulated military exploits. The former directly served as the minister of bodyguards and minister of political affairs, while the latter served as the red flag and the governor of Manchuria. Dong E's family was talented. Get up again.

Xinda Li and Peng Chun passed away the year before last, and Fei Yanggu is not doing well now.

The older generation of brothers is about to wither away.

Except for Garli, who is a high-ranking official in the younger generation, none of the other nephews have risen to prominence.

Even if the gift is high-level, he is still a civilian official, and the foundation of Dong E's family is in the military.

The decline of Dong E's family is right before our eyes.

Zhu Liang looked at Qi Xi with worry on his face.

Brother Jiu estimated the time and said: "Today is 28. Mr. Fei will return on the 26th. If it's fast, it will be in early July. The person who came back from the emperor to deliver the message has already gone to the palace and ordered Chen Tai and Chang Shan to leave the capital. , to welcome the young master back to Beijing."

Chen Tai is Fei Yanggu's son, and Chang Shan is Fei Yanggu's younger brother.

Qi Xi sighed after hearing this.

Without an order, it would not be his turn to leave the capital, so he could only wait in the capital.

Brother Jiu didn't know how to comfort him, so he thought for a while and said, "We can't wait until the father-in-law returns to Beijing. The weather is warm and the gas problem will be cured. There is still a chance of improvement... If there is no way to save the day, at the age of the father-in-law. It’s not considered a short life…”

Elderly people are prone to stroke, which may be due to the ninth grade.

Like Fei Yanggu, Futian's death was rare enough, not to mention the only one.

Since it is caused by the cold or warm weather, if the weather changes, there is no chance of survival.

Qi Xi nodded and said a little weakly: "As you get older, this day is inevitable. Brother, don't worry."

It's just that he was a little scared.

Among the elders of Dong E's family, only his great-grandfather lived to his sixtieth year at the age of 64. In the generation of his grandfather and great-uncles, only one great-uncle was over fifty, his biological grandfather was less than forty, and his next-generation grandfather was less than five years old. Ten; in my uncle's generation, there are very few who are over forty.

This generation of brothers, cousin Peng Chun is 54, and brother Xinda Li is [-], they are all better than their fathers.

The corners of Qi Xi's mouth drooped. He is 46 this year.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhuliang.

Zhuliang is seventeen this year. The two heirs to the palace, Zengshou and Chen Tai, cannot stand up, and Zhuliang is not much better than them.

The aura of the Dong E family seemed to be completely exhausted after several generations of wear and tear.

There is no dandy among the children of this generation, but there is no one with amazing talents either. They are all mediocre.

Qi Xi felt that his waist was about to collapse.

Seeing how depressed Qi Xi was, Brother Jiu didn't stay long. He went to the main courtyard to pay his respects to the Jueluo family and then returned to the prince's residence.

When he arrived at home, Brother Ninth had to tell Shu Shu about Fei Yanggu, and even mentioned that he should go to the capital to report the news, and then said: "My father-in-law is very sad. I didn't expect that the bloodline is so far apart, and the love is quite deep." .”

Shu Shu said: "Back then, there were no adults in the two direct families, and there were only a bunch of half-grown children left, supporting each other, and their relationship was deeper than that of ordinary brothers."

There are elders in the side concubine's house, but they are not people they can rely on, and they have to guard against fighting for titles and property.

Brother Jiu said: "We have also experienced the cold outside the Great Wall, but it was at the end of July and the beginning of August. I didn't expect that it would be so cold in the summer weather. It is definitely because I didn't bring enough clothes, and catching a cold caused gas problems. This old man If you have a cough and cannot sleep well, you will feel weak, but it is not easy to have a stroke..."

At this point, he thought about Kangxi's age and became a little worried. He said, "Last time I sent you autumn clothes. Let's ask someone to send me a set of small sweaters this time..."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then give it away, it's all done anyway."

Brother Ninth thought of other people again, but he had no intention of sending clothes to his brothers. He just wanted to send someone to his brother's house tomorrow to ask if the brothers had all the clothes they had brought and if they wanted to bring more.

It’s inconvenient to have too many, but one or two sets will do.

As for the brothers, they often follow the retinue and know the changes of life and death.

After asking around the next day, the [-]th and [-]th elder brothers brought a lot of luggage and all the clothes for all seasons.

The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother went with them. They knew it would be cold there in August, so they brought winter clothes with them.

Brother Jiu then sent a set of clothes and a greeting note he had prepared to the south study room.

The uncles and nephews of Dong E's family left the capital in a hurry, and the palace also began to inquire about longevity materials.

Fei Yanggu's identity requires good longevity materials, but he was in a hurry and could only borrow ready-made materials.

The news that Fei Yanggu was seriously ill spread immediately.

Many people lamented that the Dong E family in Zhenghongqi still had a father and an uncle, as well as the in-law Prince Kang. Even if Peng Chun and Xinda Li died, the impact would not be that big.

Here at Zhengbai Banner, it's much thinner.

Except for Fei Yanggu, the other branches have low titles, and the highest position is the first-class bodyguard.

Earlier, he had a cousin, the grandson of his uncle, who was an official and minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, he also suffered from an acute illness and died in the prime of life.

Fei Yanggu passed away, and Dong E's family was about to decline.

But when one family falls silent, another family will rise.

Fei Yanggu can lead the bodyguard and minister with a white flag on his body!
And he has occupied this gap for more than 20 years!
Now that the minister in charge of the bodyguard is vacant, the nobles of Zhengbai Banner can keep him in mind.

Although in the end it was still the Sacred Heart that made the decision, there was a little more hope.

Chen Tai and Chang Shan left Beijing and traveled day and night. On the second night, they met Gualcha's team at the station.

Fei Yanggu was still stiff and unable to move, but from being unable to speak to being able to speak a few words intermittently.

"Ama..."

"Second brother..." Seeing Fei Yanggu's condition, Chen Tai and Chang Shan choked up.

Since returning, Fei Yanggu had not slept well. His face was dark and yellow, and his eyes were bloodshot. He had difficulty swallowing and could only drink porridge. He also lost weight and his cheeks were deflated.

Guarcha breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone from Dong E's family.

In the past few days, he has also been worried, fearing that the speed would be slow and he would not be able to reach the capital in time.

If he cannot return to the capital, he must obtain grace before the coffin can be allowed into the city for mourning.

But he didn't dare to go too fast, and he was also worried.

Now that someone from Dong E's family has come, someone can make the decision.

Fei Yanggu's eyes were cloudy, and he looked at the person misty, but he could hear the voices of his brother and son.

"Quiet……"

Fei Yanggu opened his mouth and said.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone knew he had something to say.

Guarca was there and had no intention of avoiding it.

He was carrying an errand, and if he really wanted Fei Yanggu to have any final words, he would report them to the emperor later.

"Quickly...return to Beijing...ahem...a funeral...a simple arrangement...ahem...the first seven funerals..."

Fei Yanggu spent a lot of effort and took a long time to finish explaining this sentence.

By this time, he knew he was struggling.

If you really can't make it to the capital, the emperor will give you some dignity and go to the city to attend the funeral. But the royal grace will be used less.

Rather than wasting it on posthumous matters, it is better to leave it to your children and grandchildren.

As for the early funeral, it was because he didn't want to die in the coffin.

This is the hottest time of the year. If you really want to stop the spirit of "Qiqi", how much money will you have to spend?
Even if you spend a lot of spices and ice, it will go bad.

After Fei Yanggu said this, he started coughing.

His eyes went black for a while, his body went limp and he fainted.

Chen Tai and Chang Shan were startled and hurriedly stepped forward.

The accompanying imperial doctor came over and checked and found that he had fainted.

It has happened several times in the past few days.

The imperial doctor looked at the two of them and said: "My lord, I haven't slept properly these days. He looks fine now. There's no need to wake him up in a hurry. But he can't be without people around him. If he feels suffocated, he should help him up and sit up. The emperor will reward you." I prepared two ginsengs and cut one into slices. You can put a piece in Mr. Fei’s mouth..."

Seeing Fei Yanggu like this, Chen Tai discussed with Chang Shan and decided to follow Fei Yanggu's instructions.

So, starting from the next day, we drove nine hours every day.

The [-]-mile journey usually takes about ten days, but it took five days.

Feiyanggu first fainted for half an hour, then an hour, and finally woke up completely.

He couldn't lie down and could only sit, so Chang Shan and Chen Tai took turns supporting him.

When one ginseng stick was used up, he never woke up again, and his hands and feet began to feel cold.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of July, Feillancourt's carriage entered the city.

When Qi Xi got the news, he immediately sent someone to deliver the message to the palace. Then he took Zhuliang to Feiyang's ancient house.

After a while, Zengshou arrived after receiving the news.

Feiyanggu has been carried to the main courtyard.

Perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, his body was stiff and he couldn't lie down at all.

When Chen Tai and Chang Shan saw this, they both cried silently.

Qi Xi, who was standing by, also had red eyes.

Zengshou felt sad when he thought about the death of his own mother, but he had only become a mourner the year before last, so he knew that there were still many things to follow.

He reminded Chen Tai: "Didn't you say that the emperor rewarded you with two ginseng sticks? Use them!"

The first ginseng is sliced ​​and contained, and the second ginseng is prepared for making Dushen soup.

Seeing that Fei Yanggu's breathing was weak, he might not be able to use Dushen Decoction anymore.

Chen Tai nodded and immediately ordered people to make Dushen soup.

Fei Yanggu clenched his teeth, but Qi Xi breathed out, stepped forward and cracked his chin, then poured half of the bowl of Dushen soup into his mouth.

Fei Yanggu's originally dark complexion began to turn red, and his breathing became obvious.

Chen Tai and Chang Shan met, and they were looking forward to it.

Qi Xi sighed inwardly.

After an estimated quarter of an hour, Feiyanggu's eyelids trembled.

"Ama, Ama..." Chen Tai was excited and hurriedly called for someone.

Feiyanggu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the scenery in front of him, and the people standing there, and said hoarsely: "We're home..."

Following the voice, he stretched out his original sitting posture and lay back...
