Chapter 1469 Disintegrated into Nothing (Walling for Monthly Tickets)
After hearing this, Ms. Guo frowned and said, "Confused, Da Gege is so happy that she should stay behind closed doors. Why are you sending Nanny Qian around?"
Sanfujin was stuck, and after a while he said: "It's not a flower, so why are you so worried? At that time, I was only thinking about forcing the third master to confront me, so I didn't think carefully..."
Mrs. Guo shook her head and said: "You have violated a taboo. When you are out of confinement, go and apologize to Shu Shu and Si Fujin!"
For mothers, even the slightest danger to their children can make them angry.
San Fujin felt her mouth taste bitter. She really didn't mean it.
At that time, I was so angry that I just wanted to use my strength to pull others over to make the matter bigger and not allow Third Brother to protect the bitch in the backyard anymore.
Shu Shu is a petty person who loves to hold grudges, and Si Fujin just looks kind.
Sanfujin was also afraid of death after birth.
Fortunately, he didn't come, otherwise if something happens to the child, he will be the sinner. In front of the emperor, his daughter-in-law has no dignity...

Outside the fortress, camp.
Kangxi looked at Brother Nine's greetings, but his face was not as warm as usual, but with annoyance: "Dong E, you bastard!"
Liang Jiugong was bowing beside him, but his ears twitched.
OMG!
Could it be that Brother Jiu and Jiu Fujin had a quarrel?
Was this complaint brought to the imperial court?
Okay, why did the young couple get into trouble?
Ninth Brother, this is somewhat inappropriate.
Liang Jiugong was quite curious.
On weekdays, when the emperor mentioned Jiu Fu Jin, he only praised him.
"Tell the third child to come here..."
Kangxi put down his words and without concealing his anger, he ordered Liang Jiu Gong Dao.
Liang Jiugong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Sanbeile has returned to Beijing..."
Huh?
This Dong E family is not the Jiu Fu Jin, but the San Fu Jin?!
Brother Nine filed a complaint?
After listening to this, Kangxi remembered this. No one got angry, and he became more and more depressed. He said to Liang Jiugong: "Brother San, this bastard, is just an 'official fan'. It's okay if he's not in Beijing. Even if he's in Beijing, he's living in a muddle."
, it’s true that the longer you live, the more you’ll be ruined!”
Liang Jiugong didn't know how to answer the question. He hesitated and said: "They say that the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. Each family lives their own lives, but it is the Fujins who have the final say in the house..."
Kangxi said angrily: "In the early days, Dong E's family was good, but in recent years, it has been bad..."
There was chickenpox in the house, but the door was not locked and the house was still closed, and a "three-in-one cleaning" was planned. If the ninth elder brother hadn't stopped him, who knows what would have happened.
Although chickenpox is not as dangerous as smallpox, it is still a serious problem for children.
Whether it's in the prince's palace or the palace in the capital, happy children have passed away.
Thinking of the three children of the Ninth Prince's Mansion and the four children of the Fourth Beile Mansion who were almost happy because of San Fujin, Kangxi really wished he could divorce San Fujin on behalf of his third elder brother.
It's just that she was the third elder brother's first wife, and she also gave birth to two imperial grandchildren, two imperial granddaughters, and she was Peng Chun's daughter, so Kangxi couldn't easily get angry.
He couldn't help complaining to Liang Jiugong: "I was negligent. When I chose Fujin for my third elder brother, I shouldn't have just looked at his family status, but also looked at him again."
At that time, I just thought that the third elder brother's maternal family was ordinary, and he wanted to choose a strong wife. But for Prince Fujin, in addition to his family background, his behavior also depends on his character.
Just looking at Sanfujin and Sifujin, life is very different.
Sifujin was also disliked by her mother-in-law, but she did not live like the life of Sanfujin.
It was rare that Kangxi said something fair at this time: "It is the third elder brother who is not strict in running the family, has a soft ear, is always fooled by others, and spoils his concubines, which is why we are in today's disaster!"
Liang Jiugong lowered his eyes, following the emperor.
The emperor is very affectionate. He will not let go of anyone for three to five years depending on who he likes, but he will dote on him with all his strength.
As a result, the prince's brothers were more affectionate than the other.
After he finished complaining about his third elder brother, Kangxi walked to the entrance of the tent and looked at the sky.
The sky is clear on the grassland, but the sky in the distance is dark and there is moisture in the air.
Is there too much rain this year?

Jingcheng, South Study Room.
Looking at the zhezi in his hand, the third elder brother suddenly stood up.
The fifth elder brother was sitting next to him eating watermelon. He held half of it and dug into it with a spoon.
The seventh elder brother and the third elder brother sat opposite each other, looking at another stack of question books.
Because of Third Elder Brother's actions, both of them looked at Third Elder Brother.
This sudden surprise, what big thing happened?
“The Yongding River dam collapsed!”
The third elder brother stared and said.
The fifth elder brother almost dropped his watermelon, so he hugged it tightly and said, "You can't, right? Khan Ama makes two rounds a year. Officials from the Ministry of Industry and Waterways are there to guard the watermelon. The governor of Zhili has arranged for people to supervise it. Who else dares to fool him?"
"
The seventh prince asked directly: "Which section?"
Third Brother said: "The section in Xiong County, Baoding Prefecture..."
The seventh elder brother breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the counties below Shuntian Prefecture, otherwise it would have been a big joke.
The Holy Knight inspects twice a year, and draws Ding once from the Eight Banners. If he mobilizes a large number of troops and causes the dam to collapse, then the emperor and the court will not have to lose face.
The fifth elder brother put down the watermelon and said: "For such a big thing, please report it to the emperor!"
Since there is a flood, the next step is to provide relief.
Xiongxian County is two hundred and fifty miles away from the capital. The flood has passed through the area. It is not known how many casualties there were.
The third elder brother nodded, found several question books about the Yongding River dam breach, put them in the urgent package, and sent them out of the capital at noon that day.
Baoding Prefecture is too close to the capital. It is the residence of the governor of Zhili, and people travel between the capital and Baoding every day.
Therefore, within three or two days, news came to both inside and outside the capital that Baoding had suffered a disaster and the Yongding River embankment had burst.
There are many people from Xiong County who are making a living in the capital, and they will return to their hometown after hearing the news.
In July, the new rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came out, and no one in the teahouses in the imperial city dared to make fun of the royal masters.
When people outside the imperial city learned about the new rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they also became alert.
The emperor has not allowed the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to speak out, but the eight banners are still grinding their teeth and are afraid of being rectified.
Everyone was holding back their panic, and then the news came.
Yongding River dam breaks!
This money was invested in more than one million taels a year, but it actually caused the dam to break. The Water Transport Yamen was not responsible, the Ministry of Industry was not responsible, and the Zhili Governor Yamen was not responsible!
One by one, they all became worried about the country and the people. As for the death of Duke Xiangzhuang at the beginning of the month, and the death of the clan Gutai during the Ghost Festival, they are all old news.
A few days later, when the emperor received the news, an order came down. Prince Zhi and Prince Jian went to Baoding Mansion to investigate the Yongding River embankment breach.

Ninth Prince's Mansion, Shangfang.
Shu Shuzheng saw the peanut fields at the head of Daxing Zhuangzi being soaked, and the water draining from the furrows could not keep up with the rain.
These two hundred acres of peanuts were specially ordered by the government in spring. Now many of them have begun to rot. The head of the village did not dare to delay and came directly to the government to report the matter.
It's the dog days of summer now, with continuous rain, and the crops are all ruined.
Shu Shu just heard that people were coming, so he called over to ask, and found out that due to the low-lying terrain of Zhuangzi, there was now more than half a foot of water, and there was nowhere to drain the rainwater.
"Are the tenants okay? Keep an eye on whether the house can hold up. Don't let the house fall down and hurt people..."
Shu Shu asked.
The head of the village said: "Two houses were demolished a few days ago, but everyone has come out, and now they are arranged to live in the warehouse."
Shu Shu nodded, thought for a while, and said: "As long as no one was hurt, if they want to rebuild their house later, they can borrow money. Within twenty taels of silver per household, someone needs to be a guarantee and repay it within three years."
.”
The village head carefully wrote it down and retreated.
Gingguo brought the plums up and said, "I can't eat the fruits this year, and the plums are no longer sweet."
Shu Shu looked at Ginkgo and said: "Melons and fruits are not enough to satisfy the hunger, but the crops are the most important thing. If there is a flood at this time, the autumn harvest will be delayed. In September or October, the victims will come to Beijing..."
Zhili has experienced nine droughts in ten years, and it is not a land of high productivity. However, in the Gyeonggi area, due to the Yongding River, droughts have taken turns to be followed by floods, making the people miserable.
As a result, a strange scene occurred.
Every autumn and winter, disaster victims gather outside the gate of Nancheng.
Under the emperor's feet, the people cannot be allowed to freeze to death. When the time comes, they will not be able to provide relief and send them back to their place of origin.
Some people became refugees, yearning for the wealth and prosperity of the capital and refusing to leave.
In this way, the public security in the capital becomes a little unsettled every year at the end of the year.
However, the chaos is mainly in the southern city. The inner city is where the Eight Banners live. The entrance and exit of the city gate must be strictly checked, and it is difficult for refugees to sneak in.
The situation in Nancheng is miserable. Petty theft is common and burglaries also occur from time to time.
While the master and servant were talking, Brother Jiu came back from the front yard.
Gao Bin sent his master back to Beijing, and he was also talking about the rain this summer.
"The potatoes are dying, the fruit trees are dead, and the chicken farms and duck farms that were opened in the spring are also getting sick due to the continuous rain..."
Brother Jiu sat down and told Shu Shu about Xianghe, saying: "Gao Bin was still in high spirits when I wrote the letter last time, but this time he suddenly faded..."
Shu Shu said: "There is nothing we can do about it. This is the first time in more than ten years that we have seen so much rain this year..."
Since Gao Bin is a county magistrate, all these people's livelihood and economy are included in the assessment.
Even if I work hard for half a year, the situation this year will be difficult...

The next update will be around 12 noon on September 23
