A Chronicle of the Growth of the General Manager in the Qing Dynasty

After the matter of Luyi was settled, the mansion settled down a little bit, and at this time, another round of war ushered in. On September 35, 1696th year of Kangxi (October 10, 14), Kangxi led the army Depart from the capital to Hohhot and start the second expedition to Galdan.

In December of the 35th year of Kangxi, when Kangxi arrived in Changping Prefecture, the crown prince and other princes and ministers of culture and military affairs in Beijing greeted him and drove through Deshengmen into Huigong Palace to greet the Empress Dowager Palace and greet him.

At this time, it happened to be the anniversary of Empress Wen's death in Xiaozhuang. Kangxi ordered the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, to sacrifice to the Temple of Temporary Anfeng, and ordered General Bo Fei Yanggu to dispatch officers and soldiers in charge of watching treasures and go to Datong.Renovate the equipment and herd the horses to prepare for the next spring.

Su Wen and others accompanied the fourth master and also arrived at the Temporary An Fengdian. He was buried near Xiaoling Mausoleum. According to the ancestral family law, Empress Wen of Xiaozhuang and Huang Taiji were buried together in Zhaoling Mausoleum of Shengjing (Shenyang). The Dongling built the Temporary Anfeng Hall, and the grandmother's favorite bedroom during her lifetime, a veranda-roofed hall on the east side of the Compassion Palace in the Forbidden City, was dismantled and transported to the Qing Dongling Mausoleum to build the Temporary Anfeng Hall to store the coffins.

So there is this Temporary An Fengdian, and the matter of offering sacrifices is handed over to the fourth master, which is another trust of Kangxi. It is also the first time Su Wen has heard of this place, and the story about Xiaozhuang, whether it is history She is a topical figure in both history and history, and the matter between her and the regent Dorgon has also been guessed by later generations, and there has been no result.

The Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty is a relatively complete group of imperial tombs in the Qing Dynasty, and the Temporary An Fengdian inside still occupies a large area, and there are soldiers guarding it all the year round. When Su Wen walked in, he couldn't help but shudder. The buildings are gorgeous, but there is still a gloomy feeling.

The fourth master was obviously very happy when he received this task. He prepared all the necessary things and went to pay respects. When he left, Su Wen finally recovered. He always felt very stressed inside.

In the first month of the 36th year of Kangxi, the third war to conquer Galdan officially began. Su Wen was a little numb, and still repeated the previous things to ensure the stability of the fourth master's rear.

In April of the 36th year of Kangxi, the war was truly over. In April, Emperor Kangxi returned to Luan.Fei Yanggushu reported that Galdan died of taking medicine on the [-]th day of the third month.Emperor Kangxi led hundreds of officials to worship the sky.Order the teachers of all roads.Finally returned to the capital in June.

After Su Wen and others returned to the mansion, they received a warm welcome, and there was also a lot of good news waiting for Fourth Master. First of all, in March, Si Fujin successfully gave birth to a little elder brother.Secondly, a few days before they came back, Mrs. Li also gave birth to a little elder brother, so the current fourth elder brother's mansion is a double blessing.

The fourth master still arrived at the palace first, so Su Wen took advantage of this time to go back to his small room first, and went to the kitchen to boil a bucket of hot water by himself. Did not dare to say anything more.

Soaking in the warm water, I feel very happy. During the time following the expedition, he was really exhausted. Because he had to take care of the fourth master, he was almost upside down day and night, and sometimes even several times. There was no rest, let alone a bath.

Su Wen is very used to his body now, and hardly has any discomfort, although every time he deliberately ignores his lower body, after taking a bath, he puts on a clean dress, tidies up the room, and It's time to go to work, there's no other way, it's time, Fourth Master should be back.

It was a little different from before, this time only Fujin and Song shi came out to greet her, Li shi was still in confinement, fourth master got out of the carriage in a busy manner, after washing up, they had a meal together, and during the meal, Luyi appeared again.

Su Wen also had to admire Lu Yi's firmness. At this time, Sifu Jin's complexion was not good, but this Lu Yi obviously couldn't see it, or she didn't see it on purpose. Anyway, she was still serving Fourth Master attentively, but Mrs. Song didn't know if it was because she was hit too hard some time ago, and she was still silent until now.

"How is Mrs. Li's child?"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Li's pregnancy is going well and there is nothing wrong with it. The imperial doctor said that it will be fine as long as it is raised. It's just that the little elder brother seems to be a little weak, but according to the imperial doctor's opinion, it will be fine to take care of it in the future." .”

"Well, Fujin has worked hard, how is big brother now?"

"Brother is very healthy now, there is no problem, he should still be sleeping now, do you want to go and see?"

"Let's talk about it after he wakes up. This time, due to the war, we couldn't do anything about the full moon banquet. I'm sorry for you. Let's wait until the time to catch the week."

"Look at what the Lord said, the concubine is not an impolite person, as long as you can come back safely."

Fourth Master and Si Fujin are here for you and mine, while Song Shi and Lu Yi are full of embarrassment, standing aside and don't know what to say, Fourth Master also found the problem, so he said: "You all get separated Alright."

So Mrs. Song left in silence, and Lu Yi looked at Fourth Master several times with a face full of resentment, and finally had to leave. That night, Fourth Master rested in Si Fujin's room.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the return of Kangxi and the victory of the war, there is peace now, and Sifujin's child is also named "Honghui". The fourth master then also named Li's child, and the nearly two-year-old Gege named The name is Namin, which means Shuwan and docile.And the second elder brother is called 'Hongpan'.

And this year, the draft, which was postponed for more than a year, finally kicked off.

The fourth master took Sifu Jin to greet the concubine Defei in the palace. Because Honghui was only three months old, he couldn't take it with him, so he brought Nemin little Gege, who was nearly two years old. Now, it's time to be cute, maybe it's because I've never seen Si Ye, when I'm hugged by Si Fujin, I always look at Si Ye secretly, and every time Si Ye looks at her, he turns his head quickly Come on, that little one is really cute too.

Si Fujin didn't treat her badly because she was Li's daughter, on the contrary, she liked her very much, and said, "Namin, this is Ama, please call her Ama."

Although the fourth master didn't care on the surface, he looked at her with anticipation in his eyes. Namin seemed a little afraid of the cold face of the fourth master and kept silent. Seeing this scene, the fourth master's face became even colder. Min Xiao Gege was about to cry, Su Wen was behind fourth master, and smiled at Xiao Gege, making faces, Su Wen's current face is a typical steamed stuffed bun face, just like the ones described when reading articles on the Internet It's like that, fleshy, with big eyes, it's so cute when it smiles, and I really want to be pinched twice.

Namin finally laughed out, not too nervous, and whispered: "Ama." After shouting, he stopped looking at him, but looked at Su Wen who was behind Fourth Master, Su Wen hurriedly lowered his head.

The fourth master finally relaxed when he heard the sweet voice of Amma, and the air warmed up again, and he hugged Namin with one hand, not caring about the tradition of "holding grandchildren but not children", After all, Xiao Namin is a princess, not an elder brother.

Si Fujin saw Su Wen's expression in his eyes, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and suppressed his smile. Seeing Si Ye's questioning expression, he didn't answer, but just shook his head.

The carriage drove gradually, and soon arrived at the gate of the palace. After getting off the carriage, the nanny hugged Namin's little Gege and followed Fujin, while the fourth master walked in front.

When they arrived at the Yonghe Palace, they heard bursts of laughter from a distance, and only Su Wen was familiar with it, and that was the voice of Elder Brother Thirteen.

"Ah, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law are here." The thirteenth elder brother was the first to notice, and hurriedly got up to salute, and the fourteenth elder brother also stood up.

The fourth master brought Sifujin to bow to the concubine De, because of the presence of the fourteenth elder brother, the concubine did not install a screen to block it, so Su Wen saw the appearance of the concubine very close.

Although Concubine De is relatively old in the palace, her maintenance is still very good. There is not a trace of wrinkles on her face. Although her appearance is not among the beauties, her facial features are very delicate. The serene temperament must be because of this valued by Kangxi. This concubine De concubine gave birth to three sons and three daughters for Kangxi in a row. Amazing, the most important thing is these two sons, one of them became the emperor in the end, this is not something ordinary people can have...

"Come on, this is Li Shisheng's little princess, come and show Mam." The tone of Empress Defei was very gentle, which made people sound very comfortable.

Si Fujin took Nemin from the nanny's hand, and handed it to Concubine De. At this time, Namin did not lose his temper, and shouted out of face: "Namin please pay respects to Mam."

Empress Defei was impressed by Namin's cautious expression, hugged her in her arms, and said: "Our little Gege is called Namin, it's a nice name, and your Ama chose it well, come here, bring the snacks , give our little Nemin a taste."

Namin may have felt the love of Empress Defei, she was not afraid at all, she picked up the snacks and ate them. Although she is small now, she seems to have been taught very well. , followed by dim sum scum, which is very cute.

Elder Brother Ten 34 next to him seemed to have found a good toy, especially Elder Fourteen, who came over directly, touched Nemin's puffy little face with his hand, and said, "She is so cute, you, my mother, Look, eat a snack, like a little mouse."

Elder Brother Thirteen couldn't take it anymore, took his hand away, and said, "You really don't know how to describe it. How can someone use a mouse to describe a little girl? It's really unrefined."

The fourteenth elder brother also stepped up and said, "I can't describe it anymore. You are obviously like a little mouse, but you are the only one who can show off your elegance. You are really a sour person."

Concubine De and the others seemed to be very familiar with this scene, and no one stepped forward to stop it. From this, it was known that the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers had been arguing like this since they were young.

Concubine De wiped the dregs from the corners of Namin's mouth with a handkerchief, looked at the silent fourth master and said, "Your emperor Ama came here a few days ago and praised you very much, saying that you were very active during this expedition. It's brave, that's nice."

Fourth Master didn't show any joyful expression on his face, he just said: "Thank you Huang Ama for your compliment, my son just did his best this time."

"Well, as long as you are not proud, you will act steadily in the future, and you must not be reckless."

"Yes."

Su Wen was a little puzzled at the side, this Concubine De was obviously very kind to Fourth Master, and cared very much, how did she get into the situation later, but this Fourth Master was indeed too bad at words, so he should say something at this time A good word...

Sifujin saw that the fourth master hadn't spoken any more, so he said, "Thank you for worrying about Er Niang. After our master came back yesterday, he hadn't eaten yet, so he asked my concubine to come to greet Er Niang today, but I was afraid that I would forget It's over."

Concubine De also had a smile on her face when she heard this, and said, "The draft is coming soon, do you have any ideas?"

The expression on Sifujin's face froze a bit, but he immediately smiled and said: "Everything is up to Er Niang."

Concubine De seemed to know Sifu Jin's thoughts, patted her with her hands, and said: "Then Er Niang will take care of it for you, there are too few people in Yinzhen's house, even if I don't give you any gifts this time, the Queen Mother They will definitely give it to you, after all, there is only one side Fujin in your mansion, don't worry, you just gave birth to a son-in-law, the emperor is very happy, and will not make things difficult for you."

Si Fujin said with a smile: "Looking at what E Niang said, I am also happy. It is indeed time to add people to the mansion."

Su Wen looked at them talking, but felt a little sad for Si Fujin in his heart. As a concubine Fujin, he had to smile and agree to enter the mansion as a newcomer, and he had to be happy, because it showed his virtuousness. It has to be like this, he actually feels lucky now, although he has time traveled and become a sad little eunuch, but as long as he can be cautious in his words and deeds, he can live in peace and stability, although he is lonely, but at least very Quiet, but if he dressed himself as a woman, he would be guilty. He couldn't accept polygamy...
