There is isatis root water in the teacup. It tastes weird! Put some sugar and honey!
Wow! This taste is even weirder. She always feels that this isatis root should be paired with something else.
Just as he was facing the tea cup, thinking about where to secretly pour this thing, Zhao Qishan came, he must have been sent here by his father.
What's wrong?
Zhao Qishan said respectfully, with a light smile on his face, "I just came back from the palace and went to Master Obai's house..."
It turned out that I was sending a message home!
She immediately laughed, "How are my grandfather and grandmother? How are Ama and E Niang? How are my brothers at home?"
Yes! Yes! The whole family is here. "The old man and the old lady are in good spirits. The old man even ate a whole roast chicken last night. The master asked the servant to send a message to Fujin. He just said that the family is safe and peaceful. Please
Don't worry about me, Fujin. My wife has been busy preparing gifts for the Xitala family for the past two days. She said that the young lady is pregnant and the whole family is very happy."
It turns out that the eldest sister is pregnant!
She immediately became happy and called the red flower, "Look and appreciate it."
After being rewarded with a full five taels of silver, Zhao Qishan smiled shyly. When he went to the front, he still had a smile on his face. He actually showed the money and asked his elder brother to look at it to see how generous Fujin was.
Ha! What a waste of money!
If you don’t think of ways to make money anymore, you really can’t afford it!
After talking about the money, Si Fujin asked someone to give her the wedding gift list she had prepared for the seventh elder brother.
It's quite satisfactory, but it's not a small number.
Tongtong made a copy of this list, and then compared it. The difference should not be too big, and the things should not be too the same. The people below should prepare it first. After the preparation, she had to look past it. This day is full of things.
She spent the least time reading medical books.
Recently, the elder brother's house has become messy again. Next door is the seventh elder brother's yard. The Ministry of Rites and Internal Affairs over there are busy with things for the wedding, going in and out, and no one can go back and forth.
Then, with such a big yard, it’s hard to say whether it’s boring or not.
Hong Hua and Lu Ye know about their girls, so they have to be bored every day. They used to run around at home, but now they have nowhere to go.
The two girls were not clever people. They must have shown some interest when talking to someone, and Narcissus took the white rope the next day.
Huh? This works!
After changing into riding clothes and putting on boots, this activity really doesn't require much space.
A hundred blows, two hundred blows, three hundred blows, without stopping. The servants who had nothing important to do came to watch, and then the cheers and applause could be heard from a distance.
The fourth elder brother was walking back with his sixth brother, and he was talking about the court affairs, "... everything else is secondary. The expedition to Zhungeer has not done its full work. Now the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry are making preparations in various ways.
See what that means, these two expeditions will be within the next one or two years. You should take good care of your health. Next time you go, the emperor will definitely take the emperor's brother with you. It won't work if you are asked to follow him to lead the troops..." But
If the emperor's brother doesn't have some military merit, the title will not look good after all! Even the seventh brother is very concerned about riding and shooting now. Everyone knows why. Although it is said that there is no need for every emperor's brother to go
They all take the lead, but they must let the soldiers know that the emperor is taking the prince with him. It's a credit if he goes! What should I do if I can't go?
There are only a few older people, so it’s not a big deal to be one step behind.
Si Ye was also thinking about this. What the fourth brother mentioned is correct! But the body cannot be healed in a day. This time, the weather changed and I didn’t fall again. Just being able to wander around slowly is already progress. Again.
He wanted more, but he was afraid he couldn't. Thinking of the bow hanging in the study, he drew it every day, but his progress was very slow.
This kind of thing cannot be practiced in a day or two or a year or two, so relying on good health to gain military merit is not the way!
Just as he was about to speak, he heard cheers from his own yard. What was Fujin doing?
When he reached the door, he pointed in and said, "Fourth brother, come in and sit down?"
The fourth elder brother raised his feet and left. There was only one master left in the yard, the sixth brother and sister. Without the master's permission, how could there be such a big movement? It must be the sixth brother and sister who are acting as monsters!
Unsteady and unruly!
It's not bad! Look at how capable Fujin is. He danced even though he was sweating all over. Now I saw him, and he was still smiling, with an inviting expression on his face.
But this is really not good, I can’t dance like this!
But there are real benefits to skipping rope. If you do it a few thousand times a day, when the seventh prince gets married, he will lose weight as soon as he puts on his clothes!
My neck has become more curved, my face is not that big, and my waist is now slimmer when I put on the newly made clothes.
Er Fujin also asked, "Is this because you are not used to being in the palace? Have you lost weight?"
Wufu Jincai smiled, "I can hear the roar of the mountains and the tsunami over there all day long, and I am very happy. I heard from the girls that the sixth brother and sister are very good at dancing Baisuo."
"It's getting cold, and I feel more and more uncomfortable being stuck in the house. I move around, sweat all over, and feel better everywhere."
Si Fujin hurriedly said, "It's good. There are fewer transmissions from the imperial doctors to my sixth brother, which shows that this is the right thing to do."
Tongtong smiled, the fourth sister-in-law was actually quite good.
Over there, San Fujin coughed a few times and said, "I have some symptoms, and I've only gotten better in the past few days."
Then they talked about health care, and then entertained the female relatives of the clan. Sifujin knew that Tongtong didn't know anyone, so he took her with him everywhere, and just mixed up, and the busyness of the past few days was gone. Anyway, there were many people in the palace.
A bookish Qifu Jin.
The wedding here has just been completed, and I heard that Dafujin has started again. If you know, go there. Among these brothers, only the elder brother has a child! They have already given birth to three legitimate children, and the two of them are looking forward to their elder brother.
They were all looking forward to it, but in the end, the baby was born as a girl.
Of course, congratulations are deserved, but... this kind of thing, right! At that time, it made people feel that God is so ignorant. Why is it so difficult to give birth to an eldest grandson for the emperor?
Look! I’ve just given the wedding gift to the seventh child, and now it’s time for the eldest brother’s family to have their third full moon.
Tongtong was worrying about the account book. Sifujin sent her the gift list for the baptismal ceremony she had prepared. She didn't dare to look at what they had prepared. She was still muttering in her heart. Looking at the booklet that day, it seemed that she had not seen it in the past two days.
The birthdays of two concubines are coming soon. Although they both only gave birth to princesses, they still got the idea. This is another expense!
So, all night, her elder brother listened to him, Fujin, settling accounts with her. His little mouth was chattering, and he cleared the accounts after turning over them. It was easier than hiring ten accountants.
Anyway, after all the calculations, including all her dowry, the two of them were still short of money.
Silver, silver, where do you get the silver?
The tight days passed until the Chinese New Year was approaching, and he finally found an opportunity.
On this day, I heard news from the previous court that Peter the Great from Lao Maozi's side had sent someone with credentials. This group of people were Dutch businessmen, a total of 170 people.
When Moss K arrived in the capital, he had been away for a full year.
Because he brought his credentials, the emperor was going to host a banquet. Seeing so many people with yellow hair and green eyes all of a sudden, they were all curious! They all wanted to take a look. The former sixth prince did not like to join in the fun of the previous dynasty.
This time he was also curious. If all the brothers are going, let’s go too!
As soon as Tongtong heard that her father was going, she wished she could put on the bearskin cloak. This big cloak really was obtained by the good fourth brother of the family, and was given to his sixth brother. Unfortunately, this thing was too heavy, and his sixth brother
My little body can't bear it.
I had no choice but to wear lambskin clothes and hold them by the stove. When I was sitting on the shoulder cart, I put the bearskin clothes on my legs. Then I told Zhao Qishan, "Don't worry about others. If it's cold in the hall, just cover your legs with me."
.”
This trip out of the house is a hassle!
Si Ye even regretted going there! But once he got there, he felt it was worth it!
Because, he was vague, and he always felt that he could understand what these old fools were talking and gesticulating. The translation was done by those in the Imperial Domain. Their prince's elder brother's coursework included foreign language. Anyone who is interested
You can study hard, and if you don't have enough energy, don't force it. He has never forced it, the master has never mentioned it, and he has never read the book given to him. But now, he suddenly feels like he can understand what the other party is saying.
Yes, I couldn't help but look at the other person for a long time. Then a guy opposite who seemed to have some status in the mission, who obviously drank too much, came over holding a cup.
He gave a few instructions and asked Zhao Qishan to move a stool to the side and invite the old man to sit down.
The fourth brother glanced here a few times and waved his hand slightly to indicate that it was okay.
Then he grabbed the wine jug from Lao Qi's table over there and filled it up for this old man. He didn't dare to make others think that he was too proficient, so he started talking to this man without any help.
This guy's name sounds like 'Da'an', so let's call him Da'an.
Daan drank too much and began to brag and talk about everything. He said that he was a boatman before. In their country, what is shipbuilding and what kind of ships are built? The more he listened to the story, the deeper he heard it, and he immediately discovered that this
The country called the Netherlands has superior shipbuilding technology than the Qing Dynasty.
He knew in an instant that this was an opportunity!
So, when the banquet was over, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to the other party. He called the other party brother and brother, watched him brag about the jade pendant to his companions, and then exited the hall together.
The brothers were not in a hurry to leave, waiting to see if the emperor had any more instructions.
Then Li Dequan came out with a smile and said, "Dear brothers, the emperor has announced."
From the eldest to the seventh, everyone here is married.
The emperor sat on it. He must have had a few more drinks. He was half leaning on the kang and asked first: "Lao Liu, you haven't learned any serious lessons, but you have spent a lot of time learning side things..."
We can only accept this! He stood up and said, "Huang Ama, my son has been talking to the Dutchman named Da'an for a while, and from his conversation, he discovered that the Dutch shipbuilding craftsmanship is really unique. Son
I was wondering if I could recruit some boatmen or buy the other party's blueprints. They use boats to dominate the sea..." This is actually very dangerous! But now that he said this, the emperor would not be tempted. In order to get the emperor's attention, he only
Neng said, "As long as it's a boat, what's the difference between using it on the sea and on big rivers? I thought, Huang Ama has always been worried about the water affairs of the two rivers..."
My brothers' eyes lit up, yes! Boats, better boats are a breakthrough for the shipping industry!
So, Tongtong was at home and received many rewards from the emperor. In addition to the ornaments, toys, cloth, silk and a bunch of miscellaneous items, there was also a thousand taels of silver!
That’s right! A reward of one thousand taels of silver!
"Why?" Tongtong followed her like a dog, changed her clothes herself, handed her ginger tea, stuffed her on the kang and screamed, "Why are you just going to watch the fun and earn so much?"
return?"
Silly girl! Do you still think we are taking advantage? There is no way the emperor would ask me to do such a big thing! These rewards are my reward for getting this news. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, whether it can be confirmed or not, I just want to expose it.
If you have some ability in foreign language, the emperor will reward you. Just for academic progress, the emperor will not reward you so much! Now that you are rewarded by this thing, no matter how great your contribution to shipbuilding will be in the future, it will be with us.
It doesn't matter anymore, this matter is over with me.
"What a pity!" Tongtong felt uncomfortable hearing this.
Is it a pity? It’s not a pity! I want people to know that I don’t put my heart into the right path and only focus on miscellaneous studies. If I don’t care about the right path, anyone can be more tolerant to me. You can’t say these things, it doesn’t mean that you can’t follow me
Fujin said, but we can't say it in the palace now! So he changed the subject, "Wait a minute, the prince has a reward!" With this money, he can live safely in the palace for half a year!
Tongtong went over to massage her legs, smiling like a flower: "Try your best! Try your best!"
Try your best? It’s killing me! When I was alone, I didn’t feel short of money! Why did I marry a Fujin, have an extra family, and have so many extra expenses?
"Actually, I'm pretty easy to take care of!" I'm not very picky!
