Yikun Palace, the second hall.
The game is over.
Concubine Yi was leaning on the kang, holding a pair of dice in her hand, throwing them around.
When the eunuch in charge came in to deliver the message, Concubine Yi sat up.
After hearing this, she nodded and told Peilan: "Go to the back and ask if the nobleman and the concubine want charcoal. If so, send someone to get it together tomorrow..."
Peilan responded and said, "What about the main hall?"
Yi Fei said: "Of course I do, isn't this what Lao Jiu has said? How come my mother-in-law has to do this..."
After a while, Peilan came back after passing the message and said: "The nobleman and the concubine have already agreed, and the side hall is indeed a bit cooler."
The main hall and the back hall are just the same, facing south, warm in winter and cool in summer.
The east and west side halls are not warm in winter and not cool in summer, which is very painful.
Especially before the earth dragon starts every year, the room is cold and cold.
"Master Jiu, be careful, no one else would have thought of this..."
Perrin praised.
Concubine Yi hummed and said, "Who knows what kind of evil is going on? You are not a careful person at all. Even if you love your wife, you don't need to alarm the whole palace like this, just to hold back some bad water."
If there were no other reasons, Shu Shu would have stopped him. It was not his temperament.
The Qianqing Palace was the last to get the news.
Because the supply from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is on a routine basis.
It follows the example of the harem, from the queen mother to the ordinary palace women.
There is no exception for the charcoal in Qianqing Palace.
In the winter, two incense burners over four feet high will be placed in the Nuang Pavilion, which will be kept on day and night, making the room as warm as spring.
Kangxi knew about this and said nothing.
After all, the general ledger of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not changed, and the total amount of charcoal purchased each year remains unchanged.
It's just the remaining silver from the remaining charcoal in the case.
"Nonsense! I don't know the suffering in the world!"
It happened that Ma Qi, the prince's teacher, was here, and Kangxi couldn't help complaining: "He himself has a lot of money, so he thinks that everyone else is rich? He doesn't think much about it..."
If this rule is implemented, there will definitely be resistance from the harem mistress who is having a hard time.
But the concubines were young and frail, and when the time came they would get sick just to save a few kilograms of charcoal, which would be more of a loss than a gain.
Ma Qi bowed and said, "Master Jiu is kind-hearted, but he is young and does not think carefully enough."
Although Kangxi was dissatisfied with this article, he did not think of asking Brother Jiu to modify it.
Although Ninth Prince made a lot of noise and did a lot of things in the House of Internal Affairs this year, he did not change the original rules of the House of Internal Affairs.
This is the first time, and it is also the time to establish your authority.
Although there are shortcomings, there is no need to completely deny it.
Changing orders every day would undermine his dignity as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It's just that sometimes, good intentions may not always lead to good things.
In addition to Ma Qi, Fulun, the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Ying, the Minister of Han, were also there.
Although ministers died of illness, there was no case of leaving the court, but Alantai died in office after all, and he was respectful in his work, so he stopped working for one day today.
Kangxi looked at the two ministers of the Ministry of Etiquette and said: "I took Ma Wu, one of the ministers, and ten guards to offer tea and wine. I gave him four saddle horses and two thousand taels of silver. At the time of departure, Prince Yindie of Zhijun and Qibei Leyin Hu, ten guards of Qianqing Palace and five squads of guards are sent to see you off."
Every one of them is grace.
In particular, Ma Wu offered tea and wine to the ministers. This was the visit of the Holy Spirit.
Finally, Kangxi said: "The Ministry of Rites has proposed a posthumous title."
The two of them bowed in response.
Kangxi had no intention of saying anything else. He waved his hand and told people to kneel down.
Birth, old age, illness and death are all inevitable events.
The ministers in the early years of Kangxi were all old and frail, but ministers like Alantai, who had only been promoted by Kangxi for more than ten years, began to die.
Kangxi sighed in his heart.
It seems like time is passing faster and faster.
I still clearly remember the New Year celebrations, but it’s the end of the year again.
He thought of the Queen Mother of Ningshou Palace, who was already fifty-nine this year, and of the eldest princess of the Princess Villa, who was already sixty-eight.
The eldest princess had been resting in the palace for a few days, and Kangxi had sent the imperial physician to ask for a pulse.
The pulse condition is not good.
The eldest princess is old.
All the internal organs are faulty.
Qi disease in particular is very serious.
This will keep her awake at night.
This was a chronic disease that was difficult to treat. The imperial doctor prescribed prescriptions for moistening the lungs and sleeping, but the effect was weak.
Since he didn't want to deal with state affairs, Kangxi ordered Wei Zhu to dig out the information about Tai Fujin of Bahrain.
That’s all.
Finalizing the matter as soon as possible will also make the eldest princess feel relieved.
Kangxi picked up his pen and wrote a few strokes on Tai Fujin's book.
Immediately, he asked Wei Zhu to take two new imperial edicts, and he wrote the marriage decree, but he put down the pen when he was writing the money at the bottom.
Since it is said that there is a special suspension of services today, it is better to send someone to deliver the order tomorrow.
Wood.
The next day, Wei Zhu took the imperial edict to the other courtyard where the eldest princess was.
The eldest princess and Princess Rongxian accepted the marriage intention on behalf of Santaiji, the brother of the King of Bahrain.
After hearing this, both the grandfather and grandson were a little confused.
Of course the two of them knew who the eldest daughter of Aling'a was. She was Gege, a direct descendant of the Niu Hulu family, and the niece of Concubine De.
The eldest princess was still pondering, but Princess Rongxian had already accepted the order.
She recognized Wei Zhu. Although he was a young eunuch, he was still useful to the emperor.
A few days ago, the Holy Emperor arrived at Ningshou Palace, and Wei Zhu also accompanied him.
Princess Rongxian signaled the housekeeper to give the money for tea, and said with a smile: "I never expected such a happy event. Thanks to Khan Amma for being considerate, our Taifujin's wish came true, 'kiss, kiss, kiss'..."
The silver seal was thin, but inside it was not gold or silver, but banknotes.
The behavior of this second princess is completely different from that of her younger brother.
Wei Zhu was also happy to sell well. Seeing that the eldest princess's face was still a little confused, he explained: "The emperor feels that the Aling's family has a more respectable background and is more suitable to be the eldest princess's granddaughter-in-law."
He refused to say anything else and left.
The eldest princess and Princess Rongxian looked at each other. What does the emperor mean?
This one is more respectable, but the one in front is not respectable?
What is this word?
Although the eldest princess didn't like this marriage very much, she never doubted Tai Fujin's vision.
After all, that was her most beloved son, how could she find an inappropriate daughter-in-law?
Princess Rongxian said: "It's better to ask someone to inquire, I'm afraid there is something wrong, and the capital is hiding it..."
Bahrain is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the two of them had the impression that the Gege in front of them was the daughter of their first wife.
Wood.
After leaving the eldest princess's villa, Wei Zhu went to the home of the first-class Duke Aling'a.
Niu Hulu's family can be regarded as living together as a clan, with people living in different houses on the front and back streets.
When Wei Zhu left, the princess almost cried to death, holding her eldest daughter in her arms and reluctant to let go.
Aling'a's face was also a little gloomy, and he ordered the steward: "Go to the Duke's Mansion and ask the Duke's wife to come back!"
The eldest sister in Bahrain was withdrawn, and she was far apart in age from him. There was no friendship between the siblings, and there were few letters exchanged over the years.
On the contrary, the Duke's wife has correspondence with the Bahrain Department.
In less than half an hour, the Duke's wife came back.
Aling'a looked at her sister, with a gloomy face, pointing at the imperial edict and said: "What's going on? How could Jin Zhu be involved?"
Jinzhu is the nickname of his eldest daughter, which means the pearl in the palm of her hand.
The Duke's wife stepped forward in confusion, took the imperial decree on the incense table and read it. She was shocked and said: "Taifu Jin asked for a marriage proposal. Didn't he mention Zhenglan? How could it be a golden bead?"
It turns out that the imperial edict stated that at the request of Taifu Jin, marriage and family reunion were authorized to comfort Taifujin's homesickness.
Wu Yashi, who was standing by, could no longer bear it. She put down her daughter, jumped on her sister-in-law and started fighting. She said angrily: "What on earth did you tell my eldest aunt? Why did my eldest aunt change her mind? Please refer to Jinzhu for the last page." ?”
As she spoke, she patted the Duke's wife.
The Duke's wife couldn't dodge, so she was hit several times, pushed her away, and said angrily: "What does it have to do with me? I'm fine, why are you carrying the gold beads to her?"
Wu Yashi gritted her teeth and said, "You did it on purpose, to ruin Jin Zhu's marriage. Last year you proposed marriage to your stepson, but I didn't accept it. You hold a grudge!"
The Duke's wife couldn't help but become anxious. She looked at her brother who was looking at her suspiciously, and said hurriedly: "My sister-in-law also knows that he is my stepson! Is it my stepson or my niece? I'm not a fool. I don't know the distance."
Wu Yashi sneered and said: "Niece kiss?! The one in the back street also called you aunt, but I didn't see how you kissed me! You spoiled her marriage and sent her to Mongolia with all the arrangements. Wasn't it all handled by your own aunt? What?"
The Duke's wife was also annoyed and said angrily: "Who am I doing this for? It would be fine if Zhenglan married at a low age. She would be far away from everyone and unable to interact with her, so no one would mention her parents' affairs; but she wants to talk to When the master of ceremonies of the ninth elder brother proposes a marriage, do you want the royal elder brothers to talk about her parents?"
Wu Yashi sneered and said: "For whom? Don't open your mouth or shut up. For the sake of our master, the autumn wind is the only one who fights the autumn wind. I am a hard-working person. If you want soft food, you can eat hard, and you will do everything. Even if you eat and drink, you will be raised." Revenge is coming!"
The Duke's wife was extremely angry, but she also knew that her mother's family could not be offended. She stood up and said, "I'll go to the back street and ask what the kid did."
After saying that, she came out of the palace angrily and went to Yin De's house in the back street.
The door banged.
When the concierge opened the door and asked, the Duke's wife rushed in.
Yin De is taking a break today, and the couple are quarreling in the upper room.
After the imperial edict came down, it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the Niu Hulu clan.
The eldest daughter of the prince is to be married to Taji Sandida of Bahrain.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Bahrain, that’s not where my aunt got married!
It's just that in the Yin De family, one of the couple is honest and the other is aggressive, but neither of them has the temperament to be sociable.
Yin De is dull, while Dong has a son and a daughter and can't live without people. Neither husband nor wife got any news.
When Yin De took in his nephew and niece, he sealed up his sister-in-law's dowry and most of the four-bedroom property under the witness of the clan members.
He wanted to give Tong's share of the dowry to his niece, and also planned to add another share for himself.
Mr. Dong refused and said: "I have saved most of the money in the family over the years so that my children will have to spend money in the future. If I want to be decent, I can borrow it from outside and pay it back with my salary later." , don’t worry about these things at home!”
Yin De took the opportunity to please and said, "You can't just add nothing. It doesn't look like it. After all, it's a big deal."
However, Mrs. Dong remained unmoved and said: "If you can't wipe your face, then go to pawn. You can get some money back by plucking the things in the study in the front yard! But I have to be careful, whether the things belong to you or to me." Yes, my dowry items will only be passed down to my flesh and blood. If the master feels that this rule of mine is wrong, he will send people back to the Dong family and ask my brothers to come and reason with the master..."
The couple were still arguing, and the Duke's wife came in a rage.
"Where's that damn girl Zhenglan, and that damn boy Zhengtai, hurry up and call them all!"
The Duke's wife was submissive in the palace, but she was very high-spirited towards Yin De and his wife.
Mrs. Dong said solemnly: "Who are you and I, my aunt? We are your slaves, why are we shouting around like this?"
Yin De frowned and said: "Zhengtai is in school and not at home. What are you doing with two children?"
The Duke's wife scolded: "What kid? This is a debt collector. I don't know which bastard bastard learned it from, and it will make you shady..."
Wood.
Tomorrow's first update will be postponed. I'm going to take a CT scan in the morning. I should still be on the way at noon, so I'll try to do it before 6 p.m.
I went to bed early in the past few days, but I still have a low fever and am a little scared. The respiratory department of the nearby hospital has no calls before the 14th. In the afternoon, a friend reminded me that I made an appointment for the Yangkang package at the physical examination center, and I can get a CT scan tomorrow morning.
Thank you book friends for your monthly pass, have a nice weekend.
