The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The third master has been obsessed with calligraphy and painting since he didn't care about storage. He likes to collect Wenwan calligraphy and paintings, pens, inks, papers and inkstones. He has a set of the most precious pens, inks, papers and inkstones from the Tang Dynasty. When the time came, he was not willing to mortgage it to Fourteen.

Fourteen can hardly laugh or cry.

San Fujin said that the third master didn't know whether she was fat or thin, how much weight she had lost, and the piece of Li Mo she touched three years ago was just touched, and if she didn't weigh it carefully, she could feel something wrong. What kind of feel is it?

Sanfujin was so mad.

Sanfujin sent someone to tell Shifujin about this matter, and Shifujin told Shishi, which was tactfully begging for mercy.

In fact, Sanfujin wanted to find Sifujin the most, but Sifujin went to the Old Summer Palace, but she couldn't reach her, so she had to find Shifujin.

Shifujin is a Mongolian woman, with the personality of being able to fire a cannon with a gun, but Shifujin is not stupid, she only gave Shisi the words after asking Master Shi for advice.

If the third master couldn't save face, San Fujin had to bow his head and beg for help.

"At this moment, I can see the importance of husband and wife." The Fourteenth Master sighed, "Look at the virtue of the third brother. I really don't want to help him. The third sister-in-law can see it!"

Although Sanfujin used to be very out of tune, but compared to the third master, Sanfujin was thinking about the family and the future of his son.

Third master?The third master is for his own face.

"Sanfujin is not easy." Nian Gengyao said without sincerity: "By the way, the calligraphy and paintings that the third master mortgaged to you, didn't say when to redeem them? What if he forgets?"

"No, this is the lifeblood of third brother." The fourteenth master said triumphantly, "If he doesn't pay me back, I'll hold an auction to auction off all of these. Let's see if he's in a hurry."

Want to renege?Master Fourteen is not afraid.

Fourteen helped the third master pay back the money, and Kangxi soon found out, and Kangxi called Prince Cheng into Changchun Garden.

Prince Cheng knelt on the ground to say hello to Kangxi, but Kangxi didn't call out: "Are you promising? Let your brother pay you back the debt of 20 taels of silver. What have you spent so much money for all these years? Just for those Antique calligraphy and painting, I have never seen you filial to my precious literary works, third child, you are living more and more, now you are relying on your younger brother, and in the future you will rely on your son, your grandson? You have never achieved anything in your life!"

The third master is at least in his forties, and his son has given birth to several grandchildren for him, and he was so reprimanded by Huang Ama that his face turned red.

"My son is incompetent, embarrassing to Emma." What can Prince Cheng say?This is a fact.

"You are incompetent enough. You have so many concubines in your family without money. Oh, and those of you who clean up the guests. I heard that each person is only 20 taels of silver per month? There are also various rewards. You are really rich and powerful to provide food and housing!" Kangxi had too much reason to bury someone.

"I don't dare." Prince Cheng trembled in his heart. The servants he had brought up to entertain guests said they were talking about poetry and painting with him, but in fact they were all his aides.

There are even several defectors sent by various families.

Although the third master has no intention of seizing the heir, he still wants to maintain his power, at least he can't let the new king ascend the throne in the future, and kill him painfully!

If you are not a new king, you must also have the ability to protect yourself.

But he couldn't say that, he could only bow his head and admit that he was incapable of managing the family.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you keep several concubines?" Kangxi didn't know anything: "Your wife didn't give you a concubine or I didn't point you to a beautiful girl? Your mother-in-law worries about it every day." Can't you let your mother-in-law live in peace and quiet for a few days about those rags of yours?"

Kangxi mentioned Concubine Rong because Concubine Rong is really living a life of asceticism. Concubine Rong has a son and a daughter, Prince Cheng and Princess Rongxian, who have become parents and grandparents.

To be honest, Kangxi and Concubine Rong are both grandpas and grandmas.

But Kangxi only saw Concubine Rong once during Chinese New Year, and never saw Concubine Rong at all other times.

Concubine Rong didn't go to Kangxi either. In fact, they were old couples, and they didn't have much passion at all, not to mention that the third master didn't make much trouble in the past few years, and so did Princess Rongxian.

It's a pity that after the [-]th, he suddenly emerged. He treated all the princesses and princesses in Fumeng well, and Princess Rongxian also treated him the same, without any special care at all.

This made Princess Rongxian who had always been proud and proud very uncomfortable.

Kangxi knew all about it, that's why he felt sorry for his fourteenth son. He obviously helped many people, but there were many white-eyed wolves.

"My son is terrified." Prince Cheng is so scared, he has no intention of resisting Kangxi.

I always feel that this Huang Ama is unfathomable. It was like this when I was a child, and it is still the same when I am older. Now that I am old, I am afraid that Huang Ama's habits have also been deeply ingrained.

"Yo, are you still panicking? I thought you were not afraid of anything." Kangxi snorted coldly: "It's okay, don't keep making sweets, go back and see your mother, and those cleanups are all right Raise less, if you have that money, you might as well give it back to your fourteenth brother earlier, it's not easy for him."

Kangxi is collecting debts from the third child on behalf of the fourteenth!

"Yes, I must find a way to pay back the fourteenth brother's money as soon as possible." Prince Cheng felt bitter, because the family had some money, but it could not be touched, because if it was touched, the family would not be able to open the pot.

"It's almost autumn. After the autumn harvest, there should be some surplus." Kangxi looked at the third child who was kneeling on the ground, and thought that such a person still wants to be a prince?Go dreaming!

After the third child was sent away, Kangxi called Gu Chao again: "Send someone to see the palace, Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, what's going on? By the way, bring Concubine De to the garden."

Kangxi planned to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Changchun Garden. There was no northern or southern tour this year. It was rare for Kangxi to stay in the capital for a year, but the officials felt uncomfortable.

In the past, when Kangxi's holy driver left, everyone relaxed, just like Sun Houzi lost his magic spell.

The business trip is three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, and there is no need to work hard to get up early, it is very beautiful!

As a result, Kangxi didn't go out this year, and the ministers were miserable. Not only did they get up late, they went to Changchun Garden instead of the palace.

Not everyone can spend the night in the Changchun Garden. Many people get up early and go to the garden in the morning to meet them. At noon, they are hungry and have some snacks and tea. If they are lucky, they will meet in the afternoon and talk about things. After leaving the garden, he had to rush back to the city before closing the city gate.

The time spent going back and forth was wasted on the road.

But Lord Long Live loves the scenery in Changchun Garden, so he won't go back to the Forbidden City, what can you do?

I can only run around like this, and after half a year of running, I only realized one by one, if I paid back the money earlier, the Lord Long Live would have gone on a tour, why bother to sneak around here to play with all the ministers and workers when there is nothing to do?

Mistakes, missteps.

Concubine De was staying in the Yonghe Palace, but was suddenly sent back to Changchun Garden with great fanfare by the Long Live Lord.

"I'm going to Changchun Garden?" Concubine De was a little dazed, she hadn't been to Changchun Garden for several years.

Last time, thanks to my son, I went to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat. How about Changchun Garden?Of course it's better, it's much better than the square sky in the palace.

"Yes, Lord Long Live said, if you feel lonely, please ask Concubine Min to accompany you. Anyway, Prince Yong and the family of Thirteen Baylor are in the garden." It was San Dezi who came: "Go to Chang Spring Garden, if you like, you can also visit the Old Summer Palace. It is the garden of Prince Yong. I heard that the scenery is not bad. There is also a Changshou Garden specially set up for you. There are hundreds of varieties, so beautiful!"

This is what Prince Yong meant, and he also hoped to take good care of Concubine De.

But I don't know if Concubine De can come to the garden, so I just built a beautiful Longevity Garden, waiting for Concubine De to come to visit one day.

This was also instigated by the Fourteenth Master. He felt that his brother and his mother seemed to have a lot of birth.

That's why there is such a longevity garden.

Concubine De was very surprised at the filial piety of the fourth son, she didn't even know it!

"Then take Concubine Min to go with her, she hasn't seen her grandchildren for a long time." Concubine De thought for a while, and she didn't leave Concubine Min behind.

Concubine De went to Changchun Garden with Concubine Min.

Fourteen personally escorted the two mothers to the garden. After seeing Kangxi, Kangxi smiled and said: "I know you are not here to see me, let's go, I will take you to see the Old Summer Palace of the fourth child. It is beautiful there." gone."

"Long Live Lord is still in such a hurry." Concubine De said with a smile: "Then the ministers and concubines have to change their clothes, this dusty man, what does he look like?"

"Yes, go wash and change your clothes. The two of you still live in Ruizhu Courtyard, but, I think you should want to live in Longevity Court tomorrow. Don't mention it, the Longevity Court for the fourth child is not bad." Kangxi mentioned longevity twice. garden.

Not only does Concubine De and Concubine Min fascinate leisurely, what kind of good place will Long Live Lord never forget?

The two ladies changed their clothes, washed and combed their hair again, cleaned up, and accompanied the Long Live Lord to have a snack and drink a cup of tea, and then drove to the Old Summer Palace with the Long Live Lord.

Fourteen came to Yuanmingyuan early in the morning to report.

The four Fujins and the thirteen Fujins and the whole family are waiting for Shengjia and the two empresses and mothers-in-law.

Shisan didn't get a garden rewarded by Kangxi, but Sifujin had enough space for Shisan's family in the Yuanmingyuan. Let alone a year, it would be no problem to live for ten or eight years, because Yuanmingyuan is still provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Everything needed.

In other words, fourth master is also gnawing on the old.

But Kangxi is willing to let his son gnaw at the old man so that he can gnaw successfully. If you don't believe me, just look at Ba Ye and you will know.

Now Ba Ye's house is responsible for its own profit and loss, and the whole family is relying on the assets of Ba Ye's house for food. Ba Ye also owes a lot of debts, and they don't know how to pay them back.

Fourteen came to let Sifujin prepare early, and Sifujin asked people to cook meals. In the evening, he was going to stay with Long Live Lord, Empress Concubine De and Concubine Min for dinner.

In the afternoon, Kangxi came with the two of them.

Changshou Garden is actually a small courtyard with two entrances. The wall is only half the height of a person, but it is very wide. The wall is full of potted early-blooming golden chrysanthemums.

There are verandahs on both sides, and the verandas are also filled with potted chrysanthemums of various colors, competing for splendor, fancy colors, and a burst of chrysanthemum fragrance.

Common golden autumn chrysanthemums, as well as rare golden silk chrysanthemums, black chrysanthemums, scarlet...

They sat down in the Longevity Hall, and the eight-treasure chrysanthemum tea was served, and the desserts they used were chrysanthemum soufflé and petal shortbread.

This place is really nice, quiet and elegant, very suitable for old ladies to live in.

There are even many famous chrysanthemums, which are cultivated in advance. Such chrysanthemums can bloom for one to three months, which is definitely enough for an autumn flowering period.

"It's really nice here, no wonder Long Live Lord never forgets it." Concubine De likes flowers, but in the palace, the concubines' preferences should not be too obvious, otherwise it will be easy for people to take advantage of loopholes.

"Ah, this is the ink chrysanthemum!" Min Bin saw a pot of ink chrysanthemums, and immediately burst into a smile: "This looks really good."

Minpin likes it very much.

Concubine De made the decision: "I'll take these two pots for you, and put them under your window to enjoy slowly."

"Then thank you, sister." Min Bin smiled happily and said, "My sister likes this ink chrysanthemum."

Fourteenth Lord didn't see what looked good, but they looked good. Fourteen had people bury a piece of dried cow dung in each pot of flowers in advance. They were full of fertility, so they grew well, and the flowers lasted for a long time.

Sifujin also organized a chrysanthemum feast, including chrysanthemum fried chicken balls, braised chrysanthemum fish, chrysanthemum meatballs, chrysanthemum sea cucumber, chrysanthemum steamed flat fish...

A table of chrysanthemum dishes, even the staple food, are chrysanthemum pie, chrysanthemum porridge and chrysanthemum colorful rice.

Kangxi who ate this meal was all smiles, Concubine De and Concubine Min also laughed frequently, and the whole family lived in harmony.

Elder brother Honghui took a few children and poured wine for Kangxi like an adult. The wine was also chrysanthemum wine, and he served dishes for Concubine De and Concubine Min. Delighted, Kangxi held his hand and asked about his studies after dinner. The relationship between the grandfather and the grandson is quite good, Concubine De is holding Xiao Tuantuan, and she also likes it very much. I don't know how this granddaughter looks like, but she looks eighty percent like Concubine De, no wonder Concubine De likes it.

On the same day, Concubine De lived in Longevity Court with Concubine Min, and their belongings were moved to Longevity Court without unsealed in Ruizhu Courtyard.

Elder Brother Honghui went to school the next day, and was picked up by Kangxi after school to Qingxi Bookstore.

The grandparents and grandsons are quite friendly, and the elder brother Honghui is smart, smart and cute. He has the posture of an adult at a young age, and he discussed the management of the river with Kangxi.

"Huang Mafa, my grandson thinks that the current river management is not correct." The child still has his own views.

"What's wrong?" Kangxi became interested.

"Grandson has learned a new word called "blocking is worse than sparse." The child talked eloquently: "From the "Mandarin Zhouyu" chapter on water control by Dayu, Yu's father Gun used the method of blocking water to control the water, and the result Shun killed him in failure, but Yu used dredging methods to control the water, and it succeeded. We have been building embankments, but who dredged the river?"

Kangxi was taken aback by what the grandson said.

This is indeed the case. No matter whether it is the important officials of the court or the local river officials, no one said that dredging the river is all embankment. Why?

When Kangxi thought about it, he understood that the imperial court allocated a lot of funds to build embankments, and they used dead objects to build river embankments; to dredge the river, you need to hire labor. If you don’t pay for this, who will do the work for you?
