The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Probably after being "accompanied by sleep" for three nights, his mood settled down, and Xiao Shishi fell asleep by himself on the fourth day without having nightmares.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, the academic progress is very fast, because Xiao Shisi is a very smart child. In addition, in a sunny weather, Emperor Kangxi also took the princes to go on a cruise. After returning to the boat, I also ate fish porridge, scalloped river prawns and other freshly cooked river seafood delicacies on the boat.

Especially the oily river prawns, this dish must be cooked and eaten to be delicious.

Probably the delicious food can really soothe Xiao Shishi's fragile heart, but he lives well in the garden and has regained his former vivacity.

And the scenery in the garden is good. With the coming of summer, the garden is not only lush and lush, but because of the well-developed waterways, it is indeed very cool. Tomorrow, when I saw the shrimp growing up on the lake, I stood by the lake and drooled. The shrimp is not for eating, but for viewing. The chief eunuch guarding the lake even courted him: "Don't look at the shrimp as big, but it bounces high. , many nobles like to see it, it is a scene by the lake."

Then he saw the little fourteenth elder brother wipe his saliva: "That must be delicious!"

The shrimp jumps so high, the meat must be firm, and although the size is small, the essence is concentrated.

Probably because he is the youngest master in the garden, Xiao Shishi has gained a lot of freedom, freedom in eating.

There are not only one or two dishes of river seafood for each ton, but also snacks such as dried fish, fried snails, small wontons stuffed with shrimp, steamed eggs with peony shrimp, etc.

In the scorching summer, fruits, vegetables and vegetables have also come down, and Xiao Shishi's meal has some delicious dishes made of fresh fruits and vegetables.

This day, I was having dinner with my Eriang, holding a golden rice bowl (well, the rice bowls of princes are all golden! Extravagant, right?) His Emiang Defei mentioned the draft with his brother, Yinzhen. topic.

Today the thirteenth elder brother went to eat with Concubine Min later.

So there were only three of their mothers at the dinner table, and Concubine De mentioned this matter.

"What your Huang Ama means is that after this draft, I will pick a Fujin for you. I am afraid that you will be separated from the mansion soon." Concubine De is surrounded by trustworthy people, so she will Put it this way: "Your Di Fujin, you must be cautious."

The fourth elder brother looked at his younger brother who was holding a golden rice bowl and planing rice: "It's natural that Huang Ama chose well, and I don't have any intention of choosing."

Concubine wife is precious, this is the consistent view of Manchus.

But brothers, apart from Di Fujin, they also have Side Fujin and Shu Fujin, Concubine and Gege.

This backyard is the same as the harem, and it is divided into levels. The first is of course the Di Fujin, the second is the side Fujin, and the second is the Shu Fujin. These are all to be filed on the jade certificate and the clan's mansion, not just kittens and puppies. , an existence that can be dismissed casually.

As for concubines, aunts and princesses, these are all existences with no status. Those who are rewarded by the palace can be recorded in the clan mansion, but they cannot be listed in the jade certificate.

And there is no fixed number of personnel.

Generally speaking, there is only one Di Fujin, two side Fujin, and concubines ranging from four to six; as for concubines, aunts and Gege, it's up to you.

But the first wife, especially the first wife, is indeed extraordinary.

Little Fourteen is too young, he just eats, but his ears are pricked up.

"If you have a woman you like, tell Er Niang that Er Niang is a concubine anyway, and she can reward you." Concubine De said cheerfully, "Do you like that Song family? She came from a lower family background, but as a concubine, she can reward you." It's enough to serve Gege, and he's obedient and well-behaved."

In fact, Song's background is really not high, but, Song is the first woman of the fourth elder brother besides serving the palace maid.

Concubine De didn't want to find some messy people to stuff her eldest son, and Concubine Song's honest character caught De Concubine's eyes.

Different from other women, who are alluring and flamboyant, Song has a delicate face and soft personality, she is not the kind of person who makes trouble.

"Ms. Song is very nice and obedient." The fourth elder brother's impression of this woman is nothing more than the word "obedient".

Staying quietly in the backyard, if he hadn't been looking for someone, this woman would never take the initiative to look for him, other women would probably send soup and snacks to the study every now and then, but Mrs. Song wouldn't, she would only make some clothes and shoes for him Socks and stuff, good needlework.

Little Fourteen knew that Mrs. Song was the woman bestowed on the fourth elder brother to be Gege in the first month of this year. He had never seen it before. He was very busy at that time. He came, but Song was not so lucky, she came to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat, and she was still in the backyard of the fourth elder brother.

Concubine De thought for a while: "Then how about I give you another one? Now it happens to be the year of the show girl election, and there are many good show girls."

"Er Niang, don't you need it?" The fourth elder brother Yinzhen's face flushed slightly, wondering if he had eaten too much drunken shrimp, or he was shy.

In fact, the fourth elder brother doesn't care too much about women's sex. Now he has only one woman, the Song family, and he is 15 years old. The third elder brother in front of him is not married, especially the prince, who has not established a prince concubine.

Although the prince has many concubines, none of them are on the stage, not even a side concubine.

"Why don't you use it? Mrs. Song has been with you for more than half a year, why hasn't there been any good news? I heard that one of the crown prince's concubines is pregnant. There is no crown princess in the east palace of the crown prince. Do you want to keep your backyard empty?" Is it? Your third brother is more than a year and a half older. Look at Concubine Rong's anxiety, like ants on a hot pot. Isn't it because the prince's marriage has been unable to be decided, so your marriage has been delayed." Concubine De was quite resentful when she mentioned this matter, the candidate for the Crown Princess has not yet been decided, do you want her son to delay the marriage?

Obviously, this is something a mother-in-law can't stand.

And Concubine Rong Ma Jia, Concubine De Wu Ya, and several other concubines whose elder brothers are growing up, contacted their mother's family to work together, which made Long Live Lord nod to choose a wife for his sons, otherwise he would still You have to keep pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"Emiang!" The fourth elder brother glanced at the servants around him: "Huang Ama is the most important to the crown prince and the crown prince, and the candidate for the crown prince has not been decided for a long time, but also because the crown princess is too precious, and the prince brother also thinks so , As for us... Huang Ama has already agreed to choose Fujin as the successor."

"Don't worry, I don't dare to get involved with other matters, but your matter is something that I, a mother-in-law, have to mention. What a mother-in-law wants to see the most is that you are well, In the future, I will marry a virtuous daughter-in-law and have some lovely grandchildren." Concubine De said that she only cares about her son's marriage. Now, never mention it.

Little Fourteen raised his head and said, "I also want a little nephew."

"Hey, eat your meal." The fourth elder brother gave him a piece of Longjing shrimp for him to eat, and looked up at Concubine De: "Emiang, I know what you are thinking, but the marriage of children is still the sacred heart of Huang Ama." arbitrary."

"I know, it's not about getting married right away, it's just that the beautiful girls are entering the palace now." Concubine De cheerfully didn't care about the little resistance of the eldest son: "After it's settled, I have to go to the ceremony, at least next year You can only get married in the spring, so you don't have to worry. With the Fujin, you will be considered a grown-up, start a family and start a business, start a family and start a business, start a family first, and start a business later."

The meaning is already obvious.

Now the palace is still studying and has nothing serious to do, that is, the prince, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, all the way to the tenth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother.

No, I see that the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother will go to study in the study next year.

But the elder brother already had an errand. As early as in the 29th year of Kangxi, he had already followed the expedition to Erut Mongolia Galdan. At that time, the fourteenth elder brother was only one year old!

At the age of 29, Yunti, who was only 19 years old, was ordered to go to the expedition with his uncle Fuyuan General Fuquan as the deputy general, participated in the command of the war, and won the respect of Emperor Kangxi.

Seeing that the eldest son of the emperor has military merits, he is very successful in the army, the mansion outside the palace is also famous, and there is a virtuous wife who presides over Zhongfu, the East Palace is going crazy with jealousy.

People who didn't have any ideas before, now seeing that the East Palace is not dealing with the eldest son of the emperor, they have no intention of seizing the heir at this time, because Kangxi has not expressed any dissatisfaction with the prince.

But there is a big elder brother who is taking the lead to fight against the East Palace, and the remaining third elder brothers have no idea, so they are lying to ghosts!

But the fourth elder brother is still a firm princeling.

He really has no idea.

"Emiang won't harm you." Concubine De said: "I'm afraid your Di Fujin's background is not so prominent, it's definitely not as good as Dafujin, but it's not too bad, your Emiang is also a titled imperial concubine anyway. "

The fourth elder brother was silent for a while: "I will listen to Huang Ama and Er Niang for everything."

In this matter, he really has no right to speak.

Little Fourteen was still holding the golden rice bowl to eat, but his eyes were rolling.

Concubine De glanced at her youngest son: "What are you thinking?"

"Emiang, can I go and see my future sister-in-law first?" The little guy raised his head, blinking his big eyes pitifully: "I don't even know what my future sister-in-law will look like."

"Is Xiu Nu the one you want to see? Just play in the garden honestly. There are many more beautiful scenery in this garden." Concubine De patted the head of her youngest son: "If you want to play, Er Niang play with you."

"Then, mother, can I go dig wild vegetables in the mountains tomorrow?" Little Fourteen proposed an interesting outdoor activity application: "Mushroom picking is fine too!"

"Why not hunting?" The fourth elder brother said in his heart that "digging wild vegetables" and "picking mushrooms" are too girly.

"I'm still young, so I can't hunt or hunt birds, so I can only do some safe work." Little Fourteen is quite plausible: "And my mother likes to eat mushrooms, my brother likes to eat vegetables, I don't know how to grow vegetables , will always pick wild vegetables, um, Huang Ama prefers some fresh cold wild vegetables."

He did not forget the biggest boss, Emperor Kangxi.

"Your Majesty Huang's favorite food at this time is day lily. The day lily can only be harvested and fried right away. It is delicious when eaten. Then tomorrow, Er Niang will take you to the back, where you dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms, Er Niang Well, let’s pick some day lilies.” Concubine De said: “But you have to get up early.”

"Okay!" Little Fourteen nodded, with a bit of cleverness in his obedience: "Can I also give my brother some day lily?"

"Okay." Concubine De looked at her eldest son and her younger son, feeling very satisfied.

Although it was only mentioned once about the election of Fujin, the fourth elder brother still remembered this important event.

He didn't know how Huang Ama would arrange for his concubine Fujin, so he simply ignored it, and couldn't control it if he wanted to.

On the second day, Little Fourteen really woke up early, took Brother Thirteen, followed Concubine De, Concubine Min, and Niang to a place in the garden with a gurgling stream and a forest of miscellaneous trees. There is also a small pasture.

This pasture was obviously left on purpose, and on top of the desolate barren grass, there are leek flowers, dayflower seeds and other things that should be found in northern grasslands.

I have to say that the people who serve the gardens here really have a heart.

And Xiao Shisi and Xiao Shisan went to the woods with a basket, and they actually collected mushrooms.

Even if it wasn't much, one person probably picked half of the basket. If it was fried vegetables, there would be three or five plates.

"Brother Shisan, what kind of mushroom is this?" Xiao Shishi asked Xiao Shisan while holding a large gray mushroom.

"I don't know each other, why don't you just ask the fourth brother?" Xiao Shisan now admires the fourth brother the most, because the fourth brother seems to know everything.

"Sure!" Little Fourteen put the mushrooms in his basket.

Not only picking mushrooms, but also digging a basket of wild vegetables. There are quite a lot of wild vegetables at this time. Wild day lilies are widely distributed in Northeast China, North China and Inner Mongolia. Undergrowth common pod fern, aralia; bracken, micro-vegetables, cohosh and so on.

And Little Fourteen deliberately dug out the sand ginseng!

I also dug up several of them, saying that they were going to make soup for the family.

Xiao Shisan dug up a large bundle of wild onions!

Xiao Shishi was very envious because he had eaten wild onions in his previous life. Wild onions have a special spicy flavor and are a popular condiment for meals. They are high in vitamin C and phosphorus, which can increase appetite and prevent Cardiovascular disease and other effects.

It was popular for a while.

The two children got so many wild vegetables, while the two women got a lot of daylilies with their eldest aunt, Qing Hua and other servants.

After returning home, that night, on Emperor Kangxi’s imperial dining table, there was an extra dish of stir-fried day lily, wild mushroom bone soup and cold wild vegetables, and there was even a side dish of wild onions dipped in big sauce.

It was a platter of side dishes, wild onions, dried tofu, coriander, and radish.

"This is?" The items on his imperial dining table are generally regulated, and Kangxi knew that these dishes were so wild and interesting that no one in the imperial dining room would dare to cook them for him.

"The day lily was picked by Empress Concubine De and Concubine Min, this wild onion was cut by Elder Brother Thirteen, the mushrooms in this mushroom soup were picked by Elder Fourteen, and the small wild vegetables were picked by Elder Brother Thirteen. Brother dug it together, saying it was for you to taste something new, Brother Fourteen wanted to give you a bird's egg to nourish your body, but was stopped by Empress Defei, but he still honored you with a dish of pigeon eggs stuffed with mushrooms. "Liang Jiugong said with a smile: "And this chicken soup with ginseng."

"Did the two of them fight this pheasant?" Emperor Kangxi looked at the chicken soup with ginseng with great interest.
