Sixteen-power bow... Xiaosi and Xiaowu's eyes lit up. A half-grown boy is at his most powerful.
Xiaosi pinched his arm, which looked a little thin. Xiao Wu clenched his fists and planned to practice two more pots of arrows every day starting today.
Brother Jiu felt a little sad when he thought of Cao Yuewei's appearance. Coming from a Gengdu family, what do you do to be so tall?
When they returned to the elder brother's place, the ninth elder brother hummed and said: "I didn't say it in front of Xiaosi and Xiaowu, but even if they learn calligraphy from Cao Yueying in the future, they probably won't see Cao Yuewei. Shu Shu thought for a while and said, "Guard Cao is going to be released?" Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, he has been a second-class guard for six years and has enough qualifications. However, the number of first-class guards is limited. In the hands of each of the three banners, outsiders will not be allowed to make up for it, and they can only be released to the green camp." The Han people simply removed the guards, which was a grace, and the second class was also over.
Yes, although the Cao family brothers are relatives of Cao Yin, they are not Baoyi, they are people. The racial kinship and joint clan relationship in the genealogy are not kinship.
Shu Shu felt strange in her heart. Was Kangxi suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder? When Cao Yuewei was selected as the top scholar in martial arts, his brother was also appointed as the Imperial Hanlin. Now that the champion in military affairs is released, his brother also works part-time in the palace.
There is one more person in the Prince's Mansion, but there is no change at all. It's here in Dutong Mansion. Xiaosi and Xiaowu go to the Prince's Mansion two days every ten days to study calligraphy with Cao Yueying.
Here in Beiwusuo, Shu Shu stayed at home and survived the dog days of summer. It's a little cooler in the morning and evening.
On July 22, the emperor returned to Beijing. The holy driver still sets out early in the morning and enters the palace when the city gate is opened to avoid officials and people.
Here in Beiwusuo, we also packed our luggage, but we waited until the evening when the weather got cooler before setting off.
Because I had a child with me, the half-hour trip took more than half an hour. When she returned to the Prince's Mansion, Shu Shu felt a little uncomfortable.
Compared with the lush greenery of Haidian, the Prince's Mansion always feels gray. But compared to the chirping of insects and birds that my brother heard, the Prince's Mansion was much quieter.
Sweeping started three days ago, the house is covered with Xinhu wallpaper, and the windows have been replaced with new screens.
Xiao Chun sat on a small stool, looking at Shu Shu with red eyes, and said: "Fu Jin, I'd better not get married..." According to the time agreed upon by the master and servant, she will be released after the Mid-Autumn Festival to be married. of.
Shu Shu knew that this was another kind of pre-marital phobia. Xiao Chun chose Shu Shu's side when she was eight years old. It has been twelve years since she was born. She has become accustomed to the life here and is afraid of the outside world.
Shu Shu pointed to the north and said: "Isn't my husband's house just the back room? Just come over here, what's the point of not letting go? Besides, you still have to come in as an errand." Xiao Chun glanced at Ginkgo and Walnut and said: "Then the only person around Fujin will be Ging Guo..." Walnut will also be leaving at the end of the year.
Shu Shu said: "Don't worry, there are still Xiaosong and Xiaotang..." But these two people are not serving in the house.
But it doesn't matter to Shushu. Apart from combing her hair, she doesn't need anyone to serve her. Although she is reluctant to let go, at this time, she is not friendly to those who are not married.
Shu Shu is in charge of Xiaotang now, but if Xiaotang meets the right person in a few years, Shu Shu will prepare a dowry for him.
Xiaochun lowered his head and wiped away his tears, took out a booklet and said: "There were twelve girls selected as servants before, two were under the household, ten were in the household, nine were left, and three were 'retired' from illness. ." It has been two and a half months since these people came here to learn the rules from the primary election in May.
Both strengths and temperament are similar. As for this
"The illness has subsided" was what Shu Shu had told Xiaochun before. If the people selected are ambitious and restless, or are dull and easily fooled, they should all leave.
then apply
In the name of "retiring due to illness", I can avoid directly retiring and affecting my reputation. Now it counts as a screening. Two people who are good at needlework are placed in the sewing room.
Two honest and shy ones were placed in the uncle's place. The one with stronger strength was moved to Zhaojia Gege in the West courtyard.
Of the two palace ladies beside her, one is nineteen and will be released next year. There is also a dexterous person who helps Ging Guo.
A round-faced man gave Xiaotang a hand. The remaining two, the younger ones in their teens, were also running errands in the house.
Shu Shu had no objection. Xiaochun said: "Fujin, won't you give me a name?" Shu Shu shook her head and said: "No, you can choose the name!" This wave of girls coming in and going out makes people feel uncomfortable.
Especially Xiaochun, I spend more time with her than my parents and family. Xiaochun also noticed that she was in a low mood, and said: "In the future, if I come to work as a servant, don't be too dissatisfied with me..." Shu Shu said: "Hurry up and have a child, and be a companion for Fengsheng later. If it's too late, I won't have you." It's enough." Xiao Chun immediately said: "That slave has to hurry up, the date is set at the end of the month, and the baby will be born at this time next year." Shu Shu heard this and said happily: "Did your parents say anything?" Xiao Chun My parents are stewards of the Dutong Mansion.
It's just because she was a little girl when she was working as an errand, so she was a little unfamiliar with her family. Xiaochun said: "They want to wait until the twelfth lunar month to make big arrangements and collect back the people who went out in the past few years. But here in the Xing family, the uncle's family is going to Beijing, and they want to choose a date in August to send them away. The matchmaker sent word, and my parents asked me, so I said August." After hearing this, Shu Shu was quite satisfied, not with Xiao Chun's choice, but with the Xing family's attitude.
The Xing family asked a matchmaker to go to Xiao Chun's house to talk about it, instead of Grandma Xing going to Xiao Chun directly. This is respect.
Shu Shu said: "Don't worry, I have good taste. I am indeed a well-behaved and honest family." As for Xing Hai and his wife leaving Beijing, they decided to go to Yunnan to take care of the tea mountains at the request of the ninth elder brother.
It's just that for these thousands of miles, you don't just go there. You have to choose a day, and the main thing is to wait for someone. Wait for Cao Shun to return to Beijing.
Then Cao Shun's long entourage could take him on a trip to Yunnan. Cao Shun has already written back and reunited with his family. He will set off in late July and arrive in Beijing around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
There was movement outside, Brother Jiu was back. He was wearing plain clothes and his head was wet with sweat. As soon as he came in, he
He drank two cups of herbal tea "Tons, tons, tons", looking a little weird. Shu Shu said: "Didn't you go to Sun's house to express your condolences? Why do you look like this? What's wrong with funerals?" According to the rules of the capital, people who died in other places are not allowed to be carried back to the inner city for funerals, except for important national officials and meritorious officials who have issued an edict.
The head of the Sun family, General Zhenwu and the governor of Gansu Province, Sun Sike, had received the emperor's grace and wanted to return to the capital.
The eldest brother was ordered to offer tea and wine on behalf of the emperor, and was given two saddle horses and one thousand taels of mourning silver. As for the ninth elder brother, he went to express condolences with other princes and elder brothers.
Because Sun Sike is also a relative of the emperor. His step-wife, Borzigit, is the daughter of Princess Aohan, the emperor's cousin, and the cousins of all the princes.
Brother Ninth took a breath and said with trepidation: "I just feel awkward..." It turned out that the emperor saw that Sun Sike had worked hard all his life and made great achievements. Now he only had two sons left. He was afraid of being disrespected, so he directly proposed the marriage.
"He is the legitimate son of Sun Sike. He directly succeeded his father. At the age of twelve, he pointed at fourteen squares..." Shu Shu looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "What's so awkward about this? The marriages of princesses are not the same. Did the emperor mean it?" Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said, "The princess is not afraid, but she is afraid that Khan Ama will become addicted and use her granddaughter to take care of the old minister." Shu Shu was silent, really unsure.
Let’s not talk about other things, just say that Cao Yin’s daughter proposed to marry Prince Ping. This has become an eternal mystery. To put it simply, it was Kangxi who was using the clan to provoke his close ministers.
Kangxi became more and more nostalgic, and showed more and more favors to the courtiers he had left behind in his early years.
"What about Sun's eldest son? How old is he? Have you been given grace?" Shu Shu said.
"I haven't grown up yet. I was given grace at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Sun Sike has accumulated a lot of military achievements. Both sons have nobility and left-handed positions. Although the eldest son was born as a concubine, he was raised by his aunt. "." At this point, the ninth elder brother said: "Prince Zhuang has gone today. He has an old relationship with the Sun family. When he saw the two sons of the Sun family, his eyes almost dropped." Sun Sike died at the age of seventy-three. The two sons were only given in their sixties, which greatly encouraged Prince Zhuang who could not have a son.
Shu Shu said: "Don't worry, sir. If we only have Ni Guzhu as a daughter and ask for grace, the emperor will allow us to stay in Beijing." Brother Jiu glanced at Shu Shu's belly and said, "You said last time If you want it again in a few years, what if it's still out of character?" Shu Shu touched her belly.
There is really no way around it. If a second Gege is really to be born, both of them will not ask for grace.
The treatment of an only daughter is different. Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "Then reborn a few years later. As long as this grace is not connected, there may not be no chance." What she was thinking about was the time point. If she was born after Kangxi forty-five years, she probably wouldn't be able to get her turn. Kangxi proposed marriage.
Brother Jiu didn't think so much and said: "That's right, give us a few years to make more contributions." At this point, he said with regret: "Sun Er's appearance and conversation are not bad, he is a general. Character, what a pity, why did you point to fourteen grids? It would have been thirteen or fifteen grids!" Although they are both sisters, he is close to the thirteenth elder brother, so naturally Aiwujiwu prefers the thirteenth elder brother. Mother's thirteenth and fifteenth squares.
Compared with Fu Meng, pointing to the princess of the Eight Banners is naturally considered good luck and good fortune. Shu Shu sighed and said: "This may be the emperor's compassion..." Brother Jiu was stunned, looked at Shu Shu and said: "Didn't Khan Ama choose the fourteenth princess because he was about the same age?" Shu Shu Shu said: "Thirteen Gege is two years older than Fourteenth Gege, and Fifteen Gege is two years younger than Fourteenth Gege. One is thirteen and the other is nine. Speaking of which, they are worthy of the twelve-year-old Sun Erye." ." The difference between Fourteenth Princess and her sisters is that she has no brothers from the same mother, her biological mother is not of high status, and she is known for being timid in the palace.
Brother Jiu was a little moved after hearing this, and said: "That must be the case. In the past two years, the Gege Institute has cleared out a lot of people. Every time, there are people around the Fourteenth Gege. Khan Amma is indeed compassionate..." *Walling around, the fever started again, and it was also transmitted to my mother. I was speechless. Please take care of yourself.
The next update will be at 10 a.m. on May 15th. Welcome to the Qidian app.
