Kangxi and Concubine Yifei were welcomed into Xing's house to serve tea.
Seeing the white porcelain and the familiar pastry, Yi Fei knew that they had brought it with them, and she praised: "It would be better to be more careful. Everything at home is clean."
This is also the dignity of the royal family, especially with a few small ones.
Shu Shu thought of Brother Jiu's reminder and felt bad.
About to hit.
But it's not easy to send someone to remind him under Kangxi's nose.
She smiled and said, "That's what Mr. Jiu ordered. He didn't worry about his younger brother and sister coming out. He also asked him to bring two more sets for preparation. Not only the tea sets and pastry plates, but also the dishes for lunch. Kuaizi also brought them from home. There’s a carriage.”
Yi Fei glanced at Shu Shu, understood, and said with a smile: "How can this Lao Jiu be a careful person? Isn't it prepared for him? If he is disobedient, he is trying to pick someone up. I'm going out under the guise of '!"
Shu Shu was surprised and said: "Can't you?!"
Concubine Yi hummed softly and said: "With that little thought, I'm just fooling you, can I still be my father and mother?"
Shi Fujin was listening and asked with expectation: "Then Master Shi is also coming, so Brother Ninth asked Brother Ninth to bring two more sets to prepare?"
Kangxi snorted softly and said: "Let them watch when they come!"
Bring two extra sets of dishes, wouldn't they belong to him and Yi Fei!
As for the unruly ones who are disobedient and want to come out to play under the guise, they can't be punished, so just let them stand still.
The fourteenth elder brother was standing by. Seeing that Concubine Yi was puzzled, he walked over and asked in a low voice: "Concubine, since you saw it, why didn't you cover it up for the ninth brother?"
Although he lowered his voice, the room was so big and the drake's voice was still so obvious that everyone could hear him clearly.
The room fell silent.
Concubine Yi chuckled and said, "He was disobedient and made a mistake. He fell into the emperor's hands and deserved to be reprimanded!"
The fourteenth elder brother had a tangled expression on his face.
If it were him, even if he was wrong, his mother-in-law would protect him.
Concubine Yi looked at her fourteenth brother and said with some patience: "A stick produces a filial son. It's like beating a son to beat an enemy outside. It's not uncommon for someone to have their legs broken directly. It's just your brother who beats the little emperor's favor with just one finger." You're all naked, and I'm just asking you to abide by the rules. If you can't even do that, why don't you have to be reprimanded by the emperor?"
Brother Fourteen always felt that Concubine Yi was not such a talkative person on weekdays. He coughed slightly and said, "Brother Ninth is a little more casual. It's time to talk about it. My son is not as casual as Brother Ninth. He can be disciplined on weekdays." Behave yourself!"
Yi Fei smiled, nodded and said: "That brother is better than your Ninth Brother. If he continues like this, he will compare with your Ninth Brother."
Shu Shu stood nearby and watched Brother Fourteen grinding his teeth.
Just brag about yourself, how dare you pull off Brother Nine?
I feed the dog my daily snack!
Brother Fourteen noticed something was wrong, raised his head, and found that Shu Shu's smile was a little shallow.
He hurriedly added: "Even if Ninth Brother comes over soon, it's because of the friendship between brothers. Ninth Brother is the most loyal person. He really has nothing to say to his younger brothers!"
In front of Kangxi and his mother-in-law, Shu Shu couldn't help but show off her power and avert her eyes, but she made a note in her heart.
The feud between the uncle and sister-in-law was in the eyes of Kangxi and Concubine Yi.
I just looked at it and pretended not to see it.
This daughter-in-law has always been like this. She protects her husband very well and cannot bear to hear other people's bad opinions.
But she acted reasonably.
She is considerate in everything and is friendly to her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. This is because she respects and loves her husband.
If her brother-in-law and sister-in-law were disrespectful to Brother Ninth, she would definitely not get used to it.
Brother Fourteen should be allowed to hit the iron plate. We can't just let him get used to it.
The fourteenth elder brother felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange. He thought of going up to the mountain to hunt and said, "Khan Ama, let's go up the mountain quickly. Don't delay lunch. My son will shoot pheasants to honor you!"
Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi looked at Jiu Gege and said softly: "You usually like to be quiet and don't like to move. You have never walked on the mountain road. If you don't want to go, don't force it."
Jiu Gege shook his head and said: "Thank you for your love and not forcing me. Sister-in-law Jiu said that you can see Changchun Garden on the mountain."
After saying this, Concubine Yi also became interested and said: "Then we have to take a good look."
The group of people went up the mountain. The road up the mountain has been replaced by a bluestone road. The village has been swept and sprinkled in the past two days, and it looks very clean.
Shu Shu and others walked slowly with Yi Fei, while the Fourteenth Prince and Thirteenth Prince accompanied Kangxi to the top of the mountain first, followed by a dozen guards.
These are no longer from the prince's palace, they are all from the imperial family.
However, Kangxi had a good impression of Heishan and asked him to follow him.
Ma Wu was an imperial guard with the title of first-class military attache. It was not only the loyalty of the Fucha family that allowed him to rise to this position, but also his own bravery.
However, Heishan's momentum was very advantageous. The two of them walked side by side, and they were stunned to compare with Ma Wu.
The fourteenth elder brother looked back and said to the thirteenth elder brother: "How many people have the black guards killed? They look like a black iron tower. If this is a battlefield, it is more suitable for close combat!"
The thirteenth elder brother also said with regret: "It's a pity to just be a guard. It would be good to train soldiers. The guards at Ninth Brother's mansion were trained by his apprentices. All apprentices are like this, not to mention the master."
The fourteenth elder brother said: "You still need to find a good father-in-law, so that you can have people and money..."
Kangxi listened thoughtfully.
I asked Qi Xi to promote the new bow, as he needed personal assistance in this matter.
This Black Mountain has taught many good shooters who can help train the Eight Banners newcomers.
The girl in the back was pulled away.
Others were fine, but Shi Fujin rarely walked on mountain roads, so there was sweat on his forehead.
When Shu Shu saw it, her heart moved. She took Shi Fujin's hand and said, "Don't my brothers and sisters always want to lose weight, but they can't control their mouths?"
Shi Fujin nodded and said, "I want to eat when I'm hungry, so I can't help but eat."
Shu Shu said: "Then my brothers and sisters should climb mountains more often. They like to sweat when climbing mountains, and they will lose weight..."
Shi Fujin whispered: "Then Master Shi must accompany me, otherwise I won't like crawling alone."
Shu Shu said: "Then come over together when you have time. You and I will live in the garden for the past few months. It's close to here and it's easy to climb the mountain."
When she came in the morning, she brought her pocket watch and checked the time. Since it was all official roads, it was easier to walk, and she arrived in less than half an hour.
Shi Fujin looked at Jiu Gege's figure in front of him, nodded and said: "Well, I'll try it later."
Jiu Gege was accompanying Yi Fei in front, and both of them were moving at a leisurely pace.
Halfway up the mountain, I saw an open space, just under the canopy of trees, with a set of stone tables and benches, and next to it were two stone chairs with clean cushions on them.
Yi Fei and Jiu Gege looked back at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu said: "It's easy to get tired on mountain roads. Master Jiu came here once and felt that it was tiring to go directly to the top of the mountain, so he asked someone to arrange this so that he could rest in the middle."
Yi Fei and Jiu Gege were both speechless.
Shi Fujin said from the side: "Sister-in-law Jiu, is this mountain high? How high is it, but it doesn't look high at all, and the mountain roads are all slopes?"
Shu Shu thought about the vertical distance of Baiwang Mountain and said, "It must be nearly fifty feet high!"
Shi Fujin said from the side: "Okay, there are three Jingshan Mountains as high as each other. Master Shi said that Jingshan Mountain is the highest in Beijing, nearly fourteen feet tall..."
Shu Shu really couldn't unconscionably say that Baiwang Mountain was high, so he said: "The mountains on the other side of the West Mountain are high, and this side is nothing. Wait until autumn and let your tenth brother take you to the West Mountain."
Because they were thinking about looking at Changchun Garden, they decided to rest when going down the mountain and continue going up.
*
On the top of the mountain, as the pheasants fell, they heard the proud laughter of Brother Fourteen: "Haha, I shot another one, and I'll have roast chicken for lunch!"
It turns out that at this moment, Brother Fourteen had already hit two of three shots and captured two pheasants.
This hilltop is in a private village, and no mountaineers come up. Except for the bluestone road up the hill, the rest of the place is lush with trees and there are many birds.
At the age of fourteenth brother, hitting two out of three live targets was already a good result, so he felt proud.
Kangxi looked at Yi Dong, but this time he came out without a bow and arrow.
Seeing this, the thirteenth elder brother gave him his own bow, arrows and thumb.
Kangxi put on his ring finger, took the bow and arrows, and said, "Seven-power bow?"
Brother Thirteen shook his head and said: "Wu Li, I wanted to shoot birds, so I brought Wu Li."
The bow is powerful and requires a lot of effort, so the number of times you need to control the string will be reduced.
Except for pheasants, other birds such as doves and quails are small and do not require much effort.
Kangxi nodded, took a bow and arrow, aimed at the prey, and shot a few arrows.
Different from Brother Fourteen's monkey rush, he always aimed at the prey and adjusted his posture, so the arrows were not missed and hit five out of five times.
The guards stood around and showed admiration for the emperor.
The thirteenth elder brother was standing by and showed his admiration, saying: "Khan Ama is really amazing. With such a living target, my son would be good if he hits three out of five, but you actually hit the target with 100% accuracy!"
Kangxi handed the thumb ring and bow and arrows to his thirteenth brother and said, "I'm just familiar with it. When I was your age, I shot twenty arrows a day and never missed a day!"
Brother Thirteen calculated in his mind that there were twenty arrows in a barrel, usually eight to ten arrows per hour.
When they start learning arrows in the study room, they have one barrel, and then they grow upwards, and when they are ten years old, they have five barrels.
By the age of thirteen, it will be eight tubes.
He is fifteen years old, and his daily afternoon homework has already begun to include ten tubes.
If it's fast, it takes an hour; if it's slow, it takes one hour and two quarters.
If Khan Amma is twice as long as him, it will take two to two and a half hours.
He said with surprise: "That Khan Ama has worked too hard..."
Not only is it tiring, but it also takes time.
He was a prince's elder brother who was studying. He had no other errands, so it was hard work. Khan Amma had already taken charge of the government at that time, so it was very tiring.
Kangxi said: "Everyone else can cheat, but archery can't be faked. It's how you practice arrows one by one. These are the rules for going to the study. But most of the brothers above you are strict with themselves. Practice more at the top!"
The foundation of the Eight Banners is cavalry and archery, which is why in recent years he has required the clan to do cavalry and archery.
If cavalry and archery were abandoned from the beginning of the royal family, the foundation of the Eight Banners would be gone and the Qing Dynasty would be unstable.
At this moment, Brother Fourteen also came over and stood beside him, quietly listening to what his father and brother were talking about.
When he heard this, he was disapproving and felt it was a bit fake. He really wanted to ask, why didn't he remember that Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother had practiced together?
And the fifth brother above, who doesn’t look like someone who can endure hardships, can he practice more every day?
Further up there is the fourth brother, and I don’t remember him being good at shooting.
But when he saw Yi Fei and the others arriving, he kept his mouth shut.
But remember, he felt that if he didn't make up for it, he would run out of snacks...
Concubine Yi looked at the prey on the ground, looked at Kangxi with admiration, and said, "The emperor is practicing his skills?"
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Take the thirteenth brother's bow and shoot a few times."
Concubine Yi pointed at the pheasant on the ground, gave Shu Shu some explanations, and said: "At first glance, it was shot by the emperor. Only the eyes were shot, and the body is fine. If it is shot on the body, the strong bird will run away with the arrow, and the tail will be shot." It's off..."
Shu Shu and Jiu Gege were both amazed.
Shifu Jin said: "Khan Ama is so powerful, it's Jebie Khan Ama!"
This simple compliment brought a smile to Kangxi's face.
Brother Fourteen looked at Yi Fei and felt that he understood something.
Why is it that among the four concubines, Concubine Yi's mother is the most favored, and she is really good at talking.
Who doesn’t like to hear good things?
Khan Amma is no exception!
Walnut and Xiaosong followed and looked at Shu Shu when they saw the pheasants and turtle doves on the ground.
Whether it's roasting or stewing, you have to take it down the mountain and prepare it.
Shu Shu asked Kangxi: "Khan Ama, how do you eat these pheasants?"
Kangxi smiled and said: "The guests are welcome to the host. You can make arrangements for the meal at noon today."
Shu Shu said: "Okay, my wife will make arrangements there..."
Yi Fei and the others still wanted to look at the beautiful scenery and take a rest, so Shu Shu took Walnut and Xiaotang down the mountain first.
Xing Hai, his wife and Chun Lin were waiting at the foot of the mountain with a reserved look.
I never expected that the Holy Master would come in person.
Seeing Shu Shu, Chun Lin stepped forward and said: "Fu Jin, the number of guards and soldiers surrounding Zhuangzi is estimated to be more than eighty. These are just those who show up..."
Shu Shu then ordered Xing Hai: "Kill one pig under fifty pounds and two six-month-old sheep..."
This is for everyone. With Kangxi and Concubine Yi here, we can't just make rice balls and rice dumplings.
At this point, she paused and said: "Slaughter two pigs and two sheep each, in preparation for the emperor to reward you when he comes back..."
When on duty, the guards and guards must not eat outside.
But when Kangxi left, Kangxi could reward the meat Zhuangzi offered as he pleased...
