Yinxiang's wedding date is set in the 44th year of Kangxi, the specific date has not yet been set, only the mansion was given to Yinxiang to move out.For an elder brother like Yinxiang who has just opened a government office and built a mansion, the elder brothers who have already grown up will naturally spare no effort to "help" and even send them off to the servants.

Yinxiang understands, but he just doesn't know, and accepts everything.

Even Yinzhen didn't understand why he was here. After all, these people were sent by brothers, and it would be hard to return them after they were sent.

One day when Yinxiang went to look for Yinzhen in Sibeile Mansion, Yinzhen started to ask.

Yinxiang had a mischievous look on his face, "Fourth brother, it is said that coming and not going is indecent. Maybe my brother will send them some people some other day."

Yinzhen rolled Yinxiang's eyes, and he was the only one who could do this kind of trickery.But marrying Fujin is a big deal.Yinzhen naturally wanted to ask, "I heard that Fujin in the future has a bright temper, which suits you well. Don't be so careless in the future. After all, you are not a small person, and fourth brother can't help you all day long." .Everything is up to you. It's time to put down your temper."

Yinxiang smiled, "Fourth brother, it's not that you don't know my old thirteen's temperament. I was originally that unruly wild horse. Now I'm restrained enough, if you make me feel aggrieved, I'd rather not be the prince."

"Nonsense! You really are going back from life, you dare to say anything!"

"Fourth brother, don't I dare to say this in your house? As an outsider in my house, I have to hold back even if I have something to say. Fourth brother, let your younger brother say a few words."

Hearing what he said, Yinzhen also felt distressed, Yinhu was not counted, he was a lover, but Yinxiang was a younger brother through and through, with thirteen lives, and Eniang didn't even have a decent title before leaving, even if she was raised in Concubine De couldn't help being wronged.How can I say that Concubine De also has a heart like Fourteenth Elder Brother.How can Thirteen really cover everything.I did not protect him less.To put it harshly, I spent more time with him than Concubine De.Seeing him being so wronged now, Yinzhen also felt uncomfortable.

"Hey, you can do whatever you want. Didn't the fourth brother send people to you with them last time? Those people are for you. You can use them. If you don't like it, you can drive them out. Discuss with the fourth brother if you have anything to do." Come on, don't make yourself angry."

Yinxiang quickly laughed and said, "Don't worry, fourth brother, my younger brother will absolutely listen to fourth brother, and dare not do anything wrong."

Yinzhen shook his head helplessly, "That's the best."

Suddenly Yinxiang thought again, "Fourth brother, I'm not talking too much about my younger brother. You just said that the Malhan family has a bright personality. Could it be like the eighth sister-in-law? My younger brother is not blessed to suffer."

"It's messed up again! The eighth brother and sister are your sister-in-laws, so you're free to say that. But the Malhan family, I asked your fourth sister-in-law to ask, and she said that she knows how to advance and retreat, but it's not like those girls in the boudoir who are quite coy. The temperament of a Manchu girl."

After hearing this, Yinxiang laughed again and said, "It would be best if this is the case. My brother doesn't care about beauty or ugliness, as long as the temperament is compatible. There are so many requirements."

After Yinzhen heard what he said, he stopped talking.She only helped Yinxiang prepare for the big wedding, but who ever thought that a sudden incident disrupted everyone's plans.

On September 44th in the 1705th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (40), Aunt Su Mala passed away. It can also be said that Aunt Su Mala was the one who brought Kangxi up. Kangxi always respected her like a mother.They called her "E Nie" and "E Niang", that is, mother; the princes of Kangxi respected her as their grandmother.But Lagu Su Ma is very self-aware, always humble and cautious.Not only was she respectful and careful in front of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, but she also treated Emperor Kangxi who was more than [-] years younger than herself as a god, and always called herself a slave in front of the emperor.This is because of her neither arrogance nor impetuosity, Kangxi has never been dissatisfied with her, and even respects her all the time.

Empress Xiaozhuang Wen died of illness in the 26th year of Kangxi.This dealt a huge mental blow to Aunt Su Ma. In order for Aunt Su Ma to recover, Kangxi entrusted the twelfth elder brother Yinxuan to her upbringing. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, only concubines and above are eligible to raise the prince.Let La Aunt Su Ma raise the prince, which shows that Emperor Kangxi trusted and valued La Aunt Su Ma very much.However, Aunt Su Mala is a smart woman. She understood what Kangxi meant, so she cheered up and devoted all her efforts to Elder Brother Twelve.

However, the sudden death of Aunt Su Mala also made Twelfth Prince very sad.Even though Kangxi was outside the Great Wall, when he heard the news, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.His feelings for Aunt Su Ma La have never been master and servant, and it can even be said to be the last trace of family affection that he cares about. This is family affection, and it is not mixed with any impurities.Now it also dissipates with Su Ma Lagu's departure.Kangxi seemed to have become completely alone in an instant.

For the death of Lagu Su Ma, everyone in the palace was very sad.On the day of the funeral, except for the fifth son Yinqi and the tenth son Yin [礻wo] who stayed to take care of the empress dowager, and the fourteenth son Yinzhen who stayed outside the Forbidden City, the rest of the adult princes attended the funeral ceremony.After the coffin of Aunt Su Ma stopped in the funeral palace, the princes all went back to their homes, but the twelfth son of the emperor, Yinxuan, made a request and said: "My aunt raised me since I was a child, and I haven't been able to repay that. That's it. I would like to live here." Keep it for a few days, serve food within a hundred days, and chant scriptures on Sanqi.” According to the usual practice, there is no precedent for a prince to provide food and chant sutras on Sanqi.Yinzhi did not dare to agree to Yinxuan's request without authorization, so in the memorial to report the death of Aunt Su Ma's illness on the ninth day of September, Yinzhen's request was also written, and he asked the emperor for instructions.Emperor Kangxi commented on the memorial: "The words of the twelve princes are very good, and I follow my request." Yinzhen lived in the funeral palace, guarding the spirit of Lagu Su Ma, offering meals and chanting scriptures, and the other princes took turns every day. Send someone to accompany Yinxuan.

After Kangxi sent back his instructions, he immediately sent someone back to spread the word, saying that he would stay for seven days.Everyone knew that Kangxi was going back to see Aunt Su Mala for the last time in person.So he immediately pulled out the camp and returned to Beijing, but even so, it took fifteen days to reach the capital, so Kangxi sent people back halfway to make him stop for another seven days.

Kangxi hurried back to the capital with great difficulty, and what he saw was Su Malagu's calm face.He can even clearly remember that when he was a child, Su Ma hugged him and taught him to write.Recognize characters.Aunt Su Ma La can write beautiful handwriting.I still remember his first dragon robe as the emperor, that little dragon robe.It was done by Su Ma stitch by stitch, and there was no fake hand at all.Yes, who else can make such a detailed dragon robe.Even the dress rules of the Qing Dynasty were set by her and her grandmother, and she has always been a role model.Too many memories made Kangxi a little breathless.This is the first time this has happened. They all leave him behind and let him face it alone. Could it be that the heights are really overwhelming, so everything will be faced by himself.

Kangxi waved everyone away, stayed for a while, and soon returned to normal. He was the emperor who captured Oboi and leveled the San Francisco.And completely let go of those most innocent family affections.

---------------literature-------------------

In the 5000-year history of China, Emperor Kangxi is the emperor who has been in power for the longest time, and is also one of the few emperors who have made achievements.Emperor Kangxi's life, Wenzhiwugong, great talent and general strategy, created the "Kangqian Prosperity" that shines in the annals of history, and he can be called a generation of Mingjun.However, few people knew that his first teacher was actually a palace maid, and even less people knew that this maid was actually a shepherd's daughter in Kezuozhong Banner, Tongliao City.Her name is La Gu Su Ma.

Aunt Su Ma, formerly known as Somal, was born in a herdsman family in Kezuo Middle Banner, and worked as a maid in Zaisang's house in Horqin Bayle since childhood.In the tenth year of Tianming in the Houjin Dynasty (1625), as a maid, she was brought to the Houjin Palace by Empress Xiaozhuang Wen.After that, he lived in the palace for 80 years.In the 44th year of Kangxi (1705), he died in the Qing Palace at the age of ninety. .

Like her master, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, Lagu Su Ma experienced four dynasties in the Qing court. In the long years of more than 80 years, Lagu Su Ma has gradually grown from a humble maid to an old man who is highly respected by the emperor and his family.When she first entered the palace, neither Lagu Su Ma nor her master Xiao Zhuang knew Manchu or Manchu. Beautiful Manchu.Aunt Su Ma was intelligent by nature and liked fashion design very much. According to the "Drafts of Qing History" and "Xiaoting Miscellaneous Records", she participated in the design and production of the Qing Dynasty's founding crown clothing in the first year of Qing Chongde (1636).

Kangxi quickly arranged the funeral of Aunt Su Mala, and put her coffin together with the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, which can be regarded as fulfilling their master-servant friendship for so many years.

However, no one dared to mention Yinxiang's marriage anymore, so they consciously postponed it. As for when it will be postponed, it depends on the meaning of the above.Yinxiang followed Kangxi to go outside the Great Wall this time. After such a toss, he was really tired. When he arrived at Yinzhen's mansion today, he said, "These days, I have been traveling so hard that my brother can hardly hold on."

Seeing that he was tired, Xu Zhen shook his head and said, "Since you are tired, why don't you rest at the mansion, what are you doing here?"

Yinxiang shook his head, "I'm uncomfortable going back, so I simply ran over to the fourth brother's house to try to be quiet."

"You, I just don't know when your marriage will be postponed."

"This is also helpless. After all, Aunt Su Mala passed away. Not to mention Huang Ama and the old twelve, even we are also uncomfortable. Brothers know how Su Mala treats us. There is only the old twelve, but she is also impartial to us. She is a rare good person in the palace. Fourth brother, you are outside the palace. It is impossible to guess. When no one is hurting the thirteenth, it is Su Ma. Aunt La took care of it. Mingli Thirteen didn’t say anything, but how could he not know in secret.”

"Well, after all, it's birth, old age, sickness and death, and no one can hide from it."
