Chapter 890: Dedication (rolling to ask for monthly votes)
Up ahead, the eldest brother also said hello to the fourth and eighth brothers.
The brothers are back on the road.
Although the official path is broad, there is no unreasonable rule.
So, the eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother rode together, while the eighth elder brother fell behind.
"The errand of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been handed over, and you have returned to the Ministry of Revenue again?"
The elder brother asked casually.
"Hmm..." Fourth Brother responded and said, "Brother, are you going to Yongding River again?"
The eldest brother nodded and said: "At the end of the month, I still have to make a trip..." Lan
The river work on the Yongding River is a major event this spring. People gathered there, and the Ministry of War also sent a lot of people to do the work.
The eighth elder brother followed behind, listening to the intermittent speech, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
He glanced back.
The third elder brother didn't know when he got off the horse and got on the ninth elder brother's carriage.
There was more haze in his eyes.
When did they reconcile?
Didn’t we have some grudges the year before last?
But now it seems like nothing is wrong.
The ninth elder brother has always been petty, but he has no intention of arguing with the third elder brother. Why does he bother with himself?
It would be fine if none of the brothers got married. Now that they are all married and have careers, and each has their own errands, they always feel that there is a layer of separation between them.
He wanted to bend down and apologize, but he didn't know where to start.
I always feel that Mr. Dong E has no good intentions towards me.
Is it because Mr. Guo Luoluo is angry with him, or because he prides himself on being a noble girl?
In the carriage, the third elder brother was complaining to the ninth elder brother.
"Five years ago, I gave you two pots of bamboo. I asked people to take care of them carefully, and they all came to life. This is great. I grabbed them..."
The third elder brother thought about Wang Gege's rotten peach eyes and felt sympathy, and said: "It's all my fault. This direct descendant is so valuable that Wang Gege can't ignore it. My fourth elder brother who gave birth to me a few years ago died on the same day."
Oh, it’s so pitiful. It’s an old man who has served me for a long time..."
Brother Jiu felt awkward and said, "That's not right. Isn't your favorite one named Tian? The one who followed the Northern Patrol the year before last, why did you change the person?"
The third elder brother glanced at him and said: "What is wrong with being loved by others is that my brother is a man, and these are weak women, and they are in my name, so they must take some responsibility."
Who is like Lao Jiu, a weak-footed shrimp, without the majestic appearance of a man?
There are only two princesses in total, and one of them was sent to the Shenxing Department. What is this?
It's simply so speechless.
Brother Ninth said: "That's your second favorite. What's the problem? Don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. If you give both pots to the third sister-in-law, how dare they compete with the third sister-in-law?"
Third Brother: "..."
He glanced at Brother Jiu, and it didn't look like he was telling lies. It seemed that he really didn't care about having another legitimate son.
The third elder brother said: "Isn't it too dense? I have given birth three times in four and a half years. I'm afraid it will hurt my body, just like my sister-in-law..."
At this point, he paused and said: "It's just because your third sister-in-law is so competitive that she wants bamboo, so she brought the bamboo from Wang Gege's place back..."
Brother Jiu didn't like San Fujin's sharp tongue, but he also knew how to be worldly.
First, outsiders rarely get involved in the affairs of the couple, and it is easy for them to become different people inside and outside.
The second is that San Fujin is from the Dong E family after all, so he cannot slap San Fujin in the face.
He looked at the third elder brother and said: "Third brother, do you want bamboo? The younger brother can only be stingy. If he really wants to give it to him, then the third elder sister-in-law will still complain that I can't tell the distance? If you want to help that Gege beg?
Zi, we don’t need bamboo, so why add fuel to the fire? Let’s be quiet for half a month, recharge our batteries, and then try ‘Yanzi Wan’, and that’s almost it…”
He has read medical books in the past two years and can understand some of the principles of yin and yang.
The third elder brother is twenty-four this year and is in the prime of life.
In the past, many wives and concubines in Sanbeile Mansion were pregnant, so it was not difficult to have a child.
The third elder brother's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice and said: "'Yanziwan'? Has that ninth brother tried it?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Of course, the medicine is effective, don't worry..." Lan
I tried it once the year before last. When I was on the northern tour, I worked on it for half the night and my back was sore for two days.
"Yeah!" The third elder brother nodded, but he moved his eyes away, opened the carriage curtain, and looked outside, with sympathy on his face.
What kind of man needs "Yanziwan"?!
No wonder Lao Jiu is not tough in front of Fujin, and the backyard is deserted. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Feeling powerless.
Otherwise, seventeen or eight years old is the time when you are full of energy.
This man needs to be tougher.
The third elder brother felt faintly proud.
It's not surprising.
I am a man of civility and martial arts, and I am in good health; I am like a weak chicken, and it is normal for me to have a weak waist...
When we were about to arrive at Changchun Garden, there was another movement behind us.
It's the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother who have arrived.
Brother Jiu gave way again, and several people gathered into a team and arrived at Changchun Garden.
The chief historians of each government and the chief of ceremonies followed. When the princes entered the garden, they handed over the birthday gifts to the people in front of the emperor.
It's still early, not even early in the morning.
Everyone was waiting in the check-in room outside Qingxi Bookstore.
The Holy Master was not at Qingxi Bookstore, but went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother in the North Garden.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother both came to stand in front of the ninth elder brother, and the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother also came over.
"Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth, when will the drinks be served? When can I meet my nephews and nieces?"
Brother Fourteen asked impatiently.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and reminded: "It doesn't matter whether there is wine or not, the etiquette must be important!" Lan
The fourteenth elder brother nodded happily and said: "Don't worry, there will be no shortage. I'm just curious, why is our eldest niece ranked third, when she shouldn't be the eldest?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's okay to be the last to be born. Being a younger sister will bring you more happiness. As an older sister, you have to take care of your younger brothers..."
He was thinking of his wife, who had a cousin who was not in charge, a cousin who lived outside, and all the younger brothers in the family.
How much worry.
When Thirteenth Brother saw that Ninth Brother's face was glowing and there was no trace of sadness, he knew that mother and son were both safe. He also smiled and said, "I wonder if my niece will follow Ninth Sister-in-law..."
Brother Jiu thought of Da Gege's appearance and was a little confused.
The fifteenth elder brother said from the side: "If we don't serve wine, can we go see Sister-in-law Ninth? The Crown Princess is also thinking about Sister-in-law Ninth..." Lan
Brother Ninth thought for a while and said: "Your Sister-in-law Ninth has to rest for two months. After these two months, you can come whenever you want..."
The 16th elder brother said from the side: "The eldest niece is called Ni Guzhu. Then what will the second niece be called? Na Danzhu?"
Niguzhu is sixty, and Danzhu is seventy. They are both common names for little girls.
Brother Ninth touched Brother Sixteen's forehead and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. It's almost the same as our queen's name..."
But if they take ten years of rest and have a little daughter who is just like their wife, that would be a blessing.
There are a few little ones here, chattering.
The eldest brother and the others next to them were also watching the excitement here.
The eldest brother and the fourth brother praised: "It's different now that I'm an Ama. I look like an adult now."
Brother Si nodded and said, "I am more patient than when I was a child, and I have grown a lot."
If he hadn't been kind to his younger brothers, the younger ones wouldn't have gathered around him.
In addition to these four, there were also the smiling tenth elder brother and the silent twelfth elder brother sitting next to them.
I never expected that the Ninth Prince, who was considered a bitch in the early years, would now become the most popular prince.
The third elder brother looked around and said, "All the sixteen elder brothers are here, so why don't the emperor's grandsons come?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at the third elder brother.
The third elder brother felt uncomfortable and said: "Aren't they all studying in the garden? It's convenient!"
As he spoke, he looked at his eldest brother.
The eldest brother looked away and did not answer.
The third elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother again.
The fifth elder brother said: "The rules of the past years don't even count the emperor's grandson!"
Whether the emperor's grandson congratulates his birthday or not, it is natural to follow the rules.
It is based on the example of Yuqing Palace.
Who told the grandson of Yuqing Palace to be old...
However, the grandson of the Yuqing Palace is a concubine prince, and it has never been said that the emperor's father gave honor to the princess.
Without the precedent of the emperor's grandson congratulating him on his birthday, naturally everyone would not be looking for trouble.
It may not be a good thing for five or six-year-old children who have not learned all the rules.
If you accidentally break the rules and make the emperor displeased, that will be uncomfortable.
The third elder brother glanced at the fifth elder brother and stopped talking.
He felt that Lao Wu had selfish motives.
Wu Fujin is pregnant, and Lao Wu doesn't like to promote the eldest son of the concubine anymore.
Otherwise, if you don't get ahead in everything, wouldn't it be a waste of time to study in the palace?
After a while, there was movement outside.
Kangxi, dressed in auspicious clothes and a crown, walked from the south, followed by a group of eunuchs and guards.
All the princes got up, left the duty room, and waited outside one by one.
Kangxi approached, slowed down, and looked at his ten sons.
Except for the prince and the seventeenth and eighteenth elder brothers who did not enter the study room, all the other princes are here.
The 15th and 16th elder brothers are still young, and the remaining princes, even the 13th and 14th elder brothers, are similar in stature to their elder brothers and look like young men.
Above the twelfth prince, there are ten princes who have become adults and nine princes who have got married.
Except for the Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince, all the other princes have grandsons and granddaughters.
The first wave of emperors and grandchildren have also become enlightened.
Kangxi felt inexplicably feeling in his heart.
At this time, the prince arrived late and took the chariot.
It was rare for the princes to see the prince again.
Kangxi nodded to his sons and entered Qingxi Bookstore.
After a while, Liang Jiugong came out to send a message and said: "The prince, the county prince, you gentlemen, the emperor has uploaded..."
Only then did everyone file in.
Kangxi sat cross-legged on the Kang, looking at everyone with a warm expression.
Headed by the crown prince, all the princes stood in two rows and knelt down together, saying in unison: "I wish Khan Ama longevity as long as Nanshan, and blessings as good as the East Sea..."
The birthday greetings are the same every year, but Kangxi found them harsh this year.
"Qika..."
He raised his arms without any expression on his face.
Next, the princes presented birthday gifts.
Starting from the prince.
Wei Zhu took the gift list and read beside it: "One piece of coral, one piece of lapis lazuli malachite, one piece of Qinnan Fragrant Mountain, one piece of white jade mountain, one volume of water control map, one volume of Shanyin map, one volume of Tang Yin's calligraphy and painting, one volume of Dai Jin's landscape painting
Two volumes, a golden tripod, a golden longevity star, a golden furnace, a golden plate, a pair of golden pots, a pair of golden tea buckets, a pair of golden cups, two golden saddles..."
There are a total of sixteen birthday gifts.
As Wei Zhu was chanting, a young eunuch came in carrying birthday gifts and showed them to the emperor in turn.
Kangxi looked at Qinanxiang Mountain. Compared with the four-foot-high coral and the three-foot-high Malachite Mountain in front of him, this one was smaller.
But the price is not less than those two...
Yuqing Palace has a lot of money, but there is no shortage of rare treasures, and the inner treasury is rich.
Not only the rewards from Kangxi in his early years, but also the tributes from local governors and governors in recent years...
