My father-in-law is Kangxi

The relationship between Shu Shu and Brother Jiu and Beizi Mansion has changed.

People arrived, paid their condolences, stayed for a quarter of an hour and then left.

The couple got on the carriage. Brother Jiu saw that her face was not good-looking and knew that she was not used to seeing life and death. He said: "There is no way. Who would have thought that something will happen if you tell me something is wrong. When I go to Xiong County in July, Fuljin will go too." Understand."

Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and said: "Master, I heard that there are many Mongolian doctors who are good at treating ulcers? Can intestinal carbuncle like this be cured? Looking at the notes of predecessors, the method of surgical treatment of intestinal carbuncle was introduced in the Song Dynasty. With..."

Brother Jiu quickly shook his head and said: "The Mongolian doctors see people and animals together. They say it's ulcer surgery, but in fact it's mainly orthopedics... Intestinal carbuncle can be cured by some acupuncture. For emergencies like Fulkin's, acupuncture can't cure them." It was ineffective, and there was no time to use other methods. As for the one mentioned in the Song Dynasty's notes, who would dare to try it easily by opening the intestines and rupturing the intestines and escaping death? The person who kills will die, and saving someone's life is also a loss of life. It is considered manslaughter. Even if the life is not paid, it is only better than the death penalty. It’s just a reduction in rank, no one dares to try it on ordinary people, let alone on clan members and princes.”

Shu Shu smiled bitterly.

narrow escape...

In the current environment, it is impossible to create a sterile environment. If a major wound surgery is required, it is indeed almost like killing someone directly.

She sighed and said: "Whether it is the princes, nobles or ordinary people, in the face of life and death, all they have to do is wait. Being healthy is better than anything else."

Brother Jiu said: "There are also causes of intestinal carbuncle, either a cold or improper diet. As long as you pay attention to these two things, you don't have to worry about this."

Shu Shu nodded and said, "That's what I said."

Brother Jiu said: "We are not familiar with him, so it feels uncomfortable to hear it. I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable when my eldest brother comes back with the news."

Haha Zhuzhu, both of them have been working for the eldest brother since they were six or seven years old. Over the past 20 years, when it comes to friendship, it is probably deeper than brotherly love.

Shu Shu thought of Kangxi.

I'm afraid Kangxi would also feel uncomfortable.

At the age of 30, the prime of life is gone.

This is just the beginning. During these two months at the end of each year, people who are old and sick may not be able to survive.

Zongren Mansion is busiest in winter for this reason.

It's the end of the year, and either someone is getting married or an old person is mourning.

When the couple arrived home, someone else came.

It's someone from the old princess's mansion who wants to ask Shu Shu for a pound of Korean ginseng.

This old princess is of high seniority, she is the daughter of Prince Lilie, and the sister of great-grandmother Shu Shu and her great-great-grandmother. From the natal side, she is called great-aunt; from the royal family, she is called great-aunt.

This woman was first married to the Borzigit family, and after her death remarried to the Li family of the Han army in Xianglan Banner. She was the aunt of the second princess of Prince Jian's palace and Fuljin's mother-in-law.

The hierarchy of relatives in the Eight Banners is such a mess.

This year the North Korean envoy arrived late, and in the second half of the year there was no Korean ginseng on the market in the capital.

The ones Shu Shu bought during her southern tour the year before last were long gone, but the Ji family sent Korean ginseng as a gift to the prince's mansion every year.

Everyone in the capital is relatively well-informed.

After hearing this, Shu Shu felt puzzled and said to Brother Jiu: "In the past six months, haven't most of the people in the capital asking for ginseng gone to the Prime Minister Ming's Mansion?"

Mingzhu's slave An Qiwai was released to work as a salt merchant in Yangzhou, and he also monopolized the trade route from North Korea to the south of the Yangtze River. Korean ginseng was one of the main commodities.

Brother Jiu said: "There must be some quarrel. Isn't it like that for each family in the Eight Banners? They are either relatives or enemies."

Such an elder is somewhat dignified when he comes to the imperial court. Since the family sent someone to ask for ginseng, Shu Shu and Jiu Age naturally didn't hesitate and asked someone to pack a pound of Korean ginseng and a box of bird's nests.

Brother Jiu said: "The old princess married twice and only got a pair of children, both of whom are in the Li family. As a result, her son-in-law is gone today. She must be a little unbearable."

The current atmosphere of the Eight Banners is still different from that in the early years of Kangxi. In the early years of Kangxi, it was common for the clan's daughter to remarry the clan's first wife. Nowadays, etiquette is highly respected, and Eight Banners women also pay attention to chastity.

Like Fulkin's wife, after more than ten years in her husband's family, there is basically no chance of remarrying.

The old princess had experienced the hardship of being a widow, so she felt sorry for her daughter who was now a widow.

Shu Shu said: "There are not many older generations left. I hope the princess can forgive her sorrow and accept the change."

The couple originally planned to have a relaxing day, but in the end, they had to pay condolences and deal with customers asking for medicine. They did nothing and the day passed by.

Shu Shu thought about Mrs. Bo, so she took a pack of Korean ginseng and said, "You can use this to stew chicken or make tea on weekdays. Amou can also take it as a tonic."

The uncle said: "I still have the previous one, and there is nothing wrong with it. I don't need this one."

Shu Shu said: "Isn't it half a month before the winter solstice? Let's make up for it first."

As the winter solstice begins to enter the ninth lunar month, the weather becomes even colder.

The uncle couldn't resist her, so she asked someone to put it away.

Shu Shu said: "This is cut into slices. You can drink it as tea. If you don't like the taste, just add red dates and it won't be bitter."

Mrs. Bo was worried about Shu Shu and said: "Although it is a good thing, you are young and you are not allowed to take supplements carelessly on paper. When the imperial doctor asks for Ping'an Pulse, you must ask clearly before drinking this."

Shu Shu agreed, talked to Mrs. Bo for a while, and accompanied the old and young to the greenhouse to pick some cucumbers and red tomatoes. She was covered in sweat by the temperature in the greenhouse before sending them back to Ning'an Hall. , returned to the main courtyard.

Brother Jiu was sitting on the kang, with several small porcelain jars in front of him.

Shu Shu recognized that one contained Korean ginseng, one contained wolfberry, and one contained red dates.Brother Jiu's face was a bit tangled.

Shu Shu took off her thick clothes and wiped her body briefly, then sat opposite him and said, "What are you doing here?"

Brother Jiu said: "Seeing you giving this to the county boss, I thought about it, but I was hesitant whether to pair it with red dates or wolfberry."

Shu Shu said: "Let's stick to red dates. Lycium barbarum has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and replenishing essence. Isn't it inappropriate to give this to my son?"

As if it means something.

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's right. The red dates are still the most peaceful. Then I'll have a can of Korean ginseng tea and a can of red dates. I'll bring them over on the morning of the ninth day."

There is no shortage of this in Dutong Mansion, and they have it for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Shu Shu thought about the other people he knew, and there was no one too old.

Brother Jiu said: "Grandma of Gao Bin's family is old, in her sixties or seventies..."

Shu Shu said: "After all, it's medicinal materials. It's not good to give them away for no reason. When you give New Year's gifts in the twelfth lunar month, prepare half a catty."

Brother Jiu said: "Well, we are rich anyway, so it won't be good if we keep this one for a long time."

A few days later, it will be the ninth day of November, the day of the Eight Banners Parade.

The ninth elder brother got up early and picked up the fourth elder brother when passing by Sibeile Mansion; when passing by Wubeile Mansion, he picked up the fifth elder brother.

This was an appointment made when the brothers came to town a few days ago.

It's too cold to drive in the morning, so riding in a car is more comfortable than riding a horse.

Before the city gate was opened, the brothers arrived at the city gate.

When Yin Zheng opened the city gate at the beginning, it was still dark.

The carriage left the city gate and headed straight to the Nanyuan paddock.

After arriving at Maozheng, the group arrived at Nanyuan Paddock.

The military parade is at Sizheng, there are still two hours left.

The three brothers said goodbye.

Brother Jiu went directly to the imperial court.

Outside the palace, the lights were bright, and there were many officials waiting to see your majesty.

He did not ask to see Kangxi, but directly asked someone to ask Liang Jiugong to follow him, saying: "Today is the day of the big reading, Khan Ama will stay outside for half a day. Here is Korean ginseng tea and red dates. Let's drink together to warm up and replenish the energy. This is good." To dispel cold..."

As he spoke, he took the basket from He Yuzhu and revealed two fine porcelain jars and a clay jar inside.

He pointed to the unsealed jar and said, "There is also a jar with dates and walnuts, which is for Shuida. Put a few in your purse to satisfy your hunger."

Liang Jiugong took the basket and said, "This old slave has taken advantage of the emperor again."

Brother Jiu said: "I just hope that Khan Ama and Shuda will be well."

After handing over the things, Brother Ninth went to the House of Internal Affairs to check in.

After today's grand reading, there will be a banquet, which is jointly organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lifanyuan and Honglu Temple.

Kangxi had just met several Eight Banners commanders and deputy commanders who had turned over their names yesterday. Among them were several newly appointed deputy commanders who had been promoted from the royal palace.

Including the long history of Prince Zhijun's Palace, the long history of Prince Jian's Palace, and the long history of Prince Anjun's Palace.

Chang Shi is the third rank, and the deputy captain of the Eight Banners is the second rank. This is a promotion.

After meeting everyone, the eunuch serving the meal had already asked for orders whether to pass on the meal.

Kangxi nodded.

Seeing that Kangxi was idle, Liang Jiugong presented the basket to him and said, "Jiuye came just now and brought Xiaojing with him. Seeing that there were many people waiting for His Majesty to see him outside, he did not ask for permission. He only asked the old slave to come over and carry the things over. , it’s a can of Korean ginseng tea and a can of red dates, just right for today.”

The Eight Banners Parade is a show of power. In addition to the Eight Banners soldiers, the Eight Banners princes, bachelors, and ministers leading the bodyguards also participate.

Kangxi opened the porcelain jar and looked inside. Inside were fine Korean ginseng slices.

Kangxi was worried in his heart, but he said: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, it's not like this."

Liang Jiugong didn't say anything, only recalling the taste of jujube and walnuts.

Red dates are a good thing, and so are walnuts.

Eat one that is sweet and fragrant, and then take a few sips of hot tea. It is very filling, as if you have eaten cakes.

Kangxi thought about the people in the Nanyuan paddock and said: "Ask the imperial tea room to brew more of this tea, and send a copy to a few bachelors, and Qi Xi will also send a copy..."

Liang Jiugong was not surprised at all. He responded and went down to give the order...
