The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

It's no wonder Fourteenth Master can rest assured!

"Then you have to think about it quickly." The Fourteenth Master lowered his head and brought Kangxi a bowl of Jiuniang Yuanzi: "Come, eat some Jiuniang Yuanzi, which is made of rice wine. My son really likes it."

"Well, I like to eat too." Kangxi took the bowl and came over.

In the Xiaotangshan Palace, there is also De Fei who enjoys it very much.

Because there are many vegetable sheds, fruit sheds and flower sheds owned by Master Fourteen here, Concubine De often takes Concubine Min to play picking games by herself. Even Concubine Yi has been lucky enough to play a few times. Ninth Master, he almost lost his skin in boasting Fourteenth Master: "It's also about making money. Look at your fourteenth brother, how much money you make, and you can play with it. What about you? Your business, my mother is like one Can't even play."

The angry Master Jiu was baffled by Concubine Yi, and ran to Fourteen to find a balance: "I have so many businesses, all of which are for money, not for my mother to play with, Fourteen, You don't want to cheat my brother like this!"

The Fourteenth Master touched his nose: "I just want Huang Ama and the ladies to have a place to exercise their muscles and bones."

They still like farmhouse picking fun!

In this age that lacks entertainment, even the Lord Long Live and the concubines and ladies still need leisure and entertainment.

You can't always listen to operas, and sometimes you get tired of watching juggling.

What's more, if it's okay, whoever watches sideshows and listens to operas all the time doesn't feel like making a fuss.

It's a pity that this has caused Master Jiu, so Master Fourteen dragged Master Jiu to make amends: "Why don't you, younger brother, I will refuse Empress Yifei to go to the vegetable shed?"

"Then my mother-in-law has to refuse my son's greeting." Master Jiu shook his head: "Forget it, you let my mother-in-law go out of the palace for a walk, I thank you."

Master Jiu knew that his mother-in-law and the concubine De concubine did not have much friendship.

But Shisi was absolutely respectful to his mother-in-law, and even took the initiative to get close to him. When he was a child, he always ran to his mother-in-law's palace.

In fact, he didn't know that Fourteen had a TV drama plot. When I was a child, I watched too much "Private Interviews with Kangxi Weifu", and I liked the Concubine Yi in it very much. The concubine is very soft-hearted towards the children, and at the age of fourteen, she often went to Yifei's Zhuang Yiyuan. Although Yifei said she hated it, she actually prepared some snacks for Thirteen and Fourteen. I also specifically ordered the crispy rice not to put chili powder.

So Fourteen is very good to Concubine Yi, although Concubine De and Concubine Yi don't deal with each other.

But Sisi and Lao Jiu are on good terms, and they are also close to Fifth Brother. Concubine Yi does not deal with Concubine De on the surface, but she does not attack the child like Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui is now living like an invisible person in the palace.

The Concubine Rong is about the same, the concubine Liang is gone, and Lian Baylor didn't even go into the Changchun Garden during the holidays, but went into the Qianqing Palace and kowtowed to the empty throne.

"Thank you, we brothers don't say those kind words." Fourteenth Master said: "How is your business?"

"Although the business of the restaurant is not as good as that of Fourth Brother's VIP Restaurant or your roasted lamb restaurant, I have a little green vegetables provided by you here, and the business is still good all year round." Jiu Ye said: "It's just, where is Myna's place? There are many births."

"Ninth Brother, different ways don't conspire with each other." Fourteenth Master knew why Jiu Ye broke up with Eighth Master, because Eighth Master calculated Honghui's affairs, which made Jiu Ye think that Eighth Master was a bit unscrupulous.

Will he be able to sit firmly on the throne obtained in this way?

Moreover, Master Ba is able to attack children now, and in the future he will really become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but... Master Jiu will be divorced from Master Ba.

The tenth master and the eighth master only have face and affection.

"Let's not talk about it, Fourteenth Brother, what gift did you prepare for the Longevity Festival?" Master Jiu came here to greet Kangxi and Concubine Yi, and one more thing is to come and see, what gift Fourteen prepared for Kangxi?

Jiuye is rich, but he also wants Kangxi to like him more.

So I want to come to learn from Fourteen, and ask what Fourteen has prepared?He can also be a reference.

"Ninth brother, the things prepared by my brother are ingenious. You, don't even think about referring to them. But if you have nothing to prepare, you might as well discuss it with fifth brother. After all, you are brothers." Fourteenth Master pointed him : "What Huang Ama likes to see the most is brothers and sisters."

He and fourth master had a good relationship, and Kangxi wanted to see the two of them the most.

"That's right, you should be dissatisfied with sending the same old man." Jiuye basically lived under Kangxi's nose these years. Kangxi's temper changed three times a day, which made Jiuye suffer a lot.

After taking a hot spring bath here at Sisi, having a meal, and tasting the so-called "hot spring eggs", Master Jiu ran back to Beijing to discuss gifts for the Longevity Festival with his fifth brother.

Although the Longevity Day is still less than half a year away, many people have already started looking for birthday gifts in private.

Kangxi did not return to the capital until October, when it was almost time for the Golden Festival.

The fourth master is also looking for a gift for celebrating his birthday. When the fourteenth master came back, someone also came to him and wanted to ask for advice. How to prepare this gift?

The first is Ten 56 and Eighteen, three elder brothers.

The three brothers now have all kinds of families and titles. Although they have not left the palace to build a mansion, they have experience in life. Only when they get married can they know how much the fourteenth brother has helped them.

"Compared to Brother Seventeen, we are much luckier." Elder Eighteen was still half a child, but he was very emotional.

"How old are you?" The Fourteenth Master patted his head: "You know how to feel? Don't be blind with my brother."

The eighteenth elder brother hugged his head: "What I said is true, fourteenth brother, you don't know, the seventeenth brother is in a terrible situation now."

The seventeenth prince used to be with Prince Cheng, but Lian Baylor tricked him. The seventeenth prince got married and gave birth to the eldest son.

But he was in the palace, but he didn't hold any errands. So far, he was still a gnawing family. Among the princes and brothers, he was...hehehe...he became Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, and he was not a person inside and out.

These years have also been very quiet. The fourteenth master does not lack his share, but his daughter-in-law has no share.

After all, the Fourteenth Master did not give any dividends to the Fujins who got married later.

The life of the young couple in the palace was not satisfactory. After the crown prince was abolished, the seventeenth prince seemed to be frightened and lived in the palace like a quail.

The fourteenth master didn't see him much when he came back!

"Eighteen, don't talk nonsense, seventeen is living a good life." The fifteenth prince has grown up a lot and matured a lot. As the eldest of the three brothers, after the fifteenth prince got married, he also saw many things clearly. Now that he has a child, a boy, he often takes Fujin and the child to pay his respects to Concubine De, no matter what grievances or grievances the ladies have, after all, he has been raised in Yonghe Palace for a few days.

In addition, it is to visit Mrs. Wang.

This "unidentified concubine" of the Wang family has been in the harem for more than ten years, and has completely given up thinking about climbing up. She only hopes that her sons, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law will come to see her every day.

"Okay, how are those people? It has nothing to do with you. Why did you come to me this time?" The Fourteenth Master asked them while beckoning them to sit at the dining table for lunch, "But for the birthday gift of the Longevity Festival?"

"Yes, thanks to you, my younger brothers, I have never had any regrets about money. However, next year will be Huang Ama's 60th birthday. My younger brothers can usually prepare their own New Year's gifts, but this time is different." Fifteen The prince said sternly: "You brothers have nothing to do, so let's join hands to beg the fourteenth brother."

If it were another person, the three brothers would not come.

But the fourteenth brother is different, they trust the fourteenth brother.

Fourteen thought about it: "Eat first, let's go out for a walk when we're full."

The fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and eighteenth came almost by hand. The four of them went out to the inner city, visited several famous silver houses and jewelry stores, and met some princes and nobles by coincidence. There is no way, everyone is looking for some good things to prepare Kangxi's birthday gift.

New Year's gifts have to be prepared before the birthday ceremony.

To say that being an emperor is good, he doesn't need to prepare anything, he just needs to sit and receive gifts.

Every time the fourteenth master is very envious, when can he just sit and receive gifts instead of giving gifts to others?

But he didn't say such words, the three younger brothers looked at him eagerly, and the fourteenth master's heart moved: "There is a way, and the three of you need to work together."

"A congratulatory gift from the three of them?" The three brothers didn't know why.

But the Fourteenth Master ordered them to prepare. After the three brothers heard this, their eyes lit up: "Can this work?"

"Sure, Brother Pearl, I have what I have, and I will provide it!" The Fourteenth Master said, "But the three of you have to go to the Ministry of Industry a few times."

"No problem!" The three brothers became active, and the speed was very fast.

The three brothers were sent away, and the fourth master also invited the fourteenth master to come over to discuss matters: "Longevity Day, are you ready for your gift?"

"It's ready, brother, don't worry about me, what about you?" The Fourteenth Master said worriedly: "You are the prince now, if it's not good, people will talk about you."

"I'm looking for gifts, and the preparations are not bad." Fourth Master also said with some worry: "I just don't know what other people's are."

"Show me the list." Fourteenth Master saw the list on his brother's desk, took it over politely, and read it.

There are not many things on the first page, Wanshou sea house with added glass screen, Wanshou gilt inlaid collection treasure tripod, Wanshou enamel square peace flower vase, natural Ganoderma lucidum presenting longevity fairy peach plate, immortals celebrating birthday enamel bonsai, Antarctic auspiciousness map (Painted by Qiu Ying) The picture of pine and crane surrounds the screen.

There are only a few things on the second side, a [-]-fold screen with a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains; a blue and white longevity pattern statue and a hundred longevity pattern vase.

A blue and white bottle with a hundred longevity pattern, this bottle does not look dazzling, with blue characters on a white background.But if you look carefully, there are a hundred "shou" characters written on it, and each "shou" character is different. There are circles, triangles, and some are drawn in the shape of flat peaches. It is the shape of a hill, implying that life is better than Nanshan, and some "shou" characters have winding and complicated lines, implying continuous life.

The blue-and-white Wanshou Wenzun is a blue-and-white porcelain bottle more than one meter high. There are 48 longevity characters written on the mouth and bottom of the bottle. There are 130 lines on the bottle body, 1 rows of longevity characters, and a total of about [-] "shou" characters. Therefore, it is called the Longevity Bottle.

Like the [-]-year-old vase, each character for longevity is different and has a unique meaning, which is very delicate.So many longevity characters imply the blessing of "long live, long live, long live".

This gift was carefully prepared.

As the daughter-in-law of Sifu Jin, she should also show something, such as Jinxiu Wanshou Screen, Guanyin Lotus Sutra, Wanshou Double Happiness Ding, Six Happiness Han Bronze Stove, Baizi Xianshou Jade Cup, Yaocaoqi Vase (Cheng Kiln), Qunxian Gongshou Picture etc.

It's already a pretty good gift list.

"I'll add two more things for you." The Fourteenth Lord added a pair of dragons and phoenixes, a golden star coral tree and a dendrobium snail pearl to Prince Yong.

The things added by the Fourteenth Lord were brought to Prince Yong the next day.

Fourth Master took a breath after seeing it: "This is too precious!"

A pair of dragons and phoenixes are auspicious Venus coral trees, which are more than one person tall. They are planted in a half-person-high golden pot filled with white pearls, and the coral trees are buried in a gold flower pot.

Although vulgar, but unusually rich!

The most important thing is that for such a tall coral tree, one is in the shape of a dragon flying to the nine heavens, and the other is in the shape of a red phoenix rising to the sun.

These two coral trees are priceless treasures.

The Fourteenth Master is very busy, because after the Gold Award Festival, it is time to start preparing for the New Year.

Nian Gengyao wrote a letter. When he arrived, the local conditions were neither good nor bad. After all, it was within the boundaries of the Qing Dynasty, right?

The Fourteenth Master asked someone to deliver the news to Nianfu, Nianfu was going to the border, and before leaving, he came to Prince Xun's mansion and took two carts of things with him.
