Chunlin didn't come back by himself, but brought two carts of Dongzi vegetables. Two whole cars. He originally wanted to bring two baskets and just have an extra horse to pull them, but when he arrived in Changping, he changed his mind.
This is why he arrived here a day late.
"Seeing that the vegetables in the greenhouse are growing well, I took matters into my own hands..." After briefly explaining the situation of meeting Jia, Chunlin mentioned Changping's vegetables.
The key is that he knows that Shu Shu and Brother Jiu do not act alone. The vegetables I picked when I passed by Changping last time were almost as good as those who saw them.
The people close to him rewarded him with a plate, and the guards who followed him all added spinach soup or cucumber soup. Chunlin was afraid that there would be too little food to eat, so he finally asked people to pick everything they could, and they picked two carts.
There were nine large baskets in one cart, all covered with quilts to keep warm. After hearing this, Brother Jiu praised Chunlin and said: "It's good to make your own decisions like this. It doesn't matter if you come back a few times. Yesterday, I was talking to Fujin about having no food to eat." He was still a little worried about Gao Bin, afraid that The wild beasts in these deep mountains and forests are ferocious.
When Chun Lin comes back, there is nothing to worry about. Brother Jiu then said: "You rest for a long time, and you will join Gao Bin tomorrow to clear out the wild beasts around the Rehe Canyon." Chunlin agreed and retreated.
Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "I want to eat pumpkin flowers and spinach with nuts. Let's have this for lunch." Shu Shu nodded, told Walnut to pass the message, and said: "In addition to what I ordered, add a cucumber cold dish... "This is not just about cucumbers, but what Shu Shu likes to eat. Shredded cucumbers and shredded eggs are mixed, topped with shredded pork, which is refreshing yet not too bland.
Walnut responded and prepared to go down to deliver the message. Shu Shu stopped again and said: "Talk to Xiaotang and see if we can make some dry food that can be brought out easily." The 180 or so people who followed us out every day, and most of them were in the dozens. It is impossible to come back to eat in Rehe at noon, and you will have to deal with it at noon.
There was no preparation today. All they brought was fried rice and noodles. But I can't bear to do this every day.
Walnut went down to spread the word. Brother Jiu was beside him and thought for a while and said: "What about Hanamaki steamed buns or something? Can't do it? The ones with salt and pepper have a salty taste." Shu Shu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work. It's freezing right now. I'm going out so early in the morning. , it has been frozen for several hours, unless it is heated by fire, but it is not safe to use fire at that time." These are barren mountains with few people, and there are many dead leaves and branches accumulated on the ground. Inducing mountain fires will be a disaster. .
If you don’t eat frozen food in winter, you will need less water. It can be pancakes, sesame cakes or dry baked naan bread.
Forget about pancakes, this requires skills and requires about a hundred pounds of food. A lunch costs about a hundred pounds, and no one can prepare it.
It should be easier for larger scones. Thinking of this, she didn't hurry to send a message to the dining room. She waited to see if Xiaotang had any good suggestions.
After a while, lunch was served. In addition to the three dishes ordered by the couple, there was also a dish of scrambled eggs with leeks, and the remaining two dishes were braised lamb tripe and fried lamb intestines.
They all use six-inch plates, which Shu Shu ordered to avoid waste. So the couple ate all the six dishes.
The couple put on their cloaks and wandered outside the palace to eat. Walnut and Xiaosong were with them.
Shu Shu thought that Chunlin would go to Rehe tomorrow to hunt down wild beasts, so she said to Xiaosong: "Tomorrow you go with Chunlin, and pay more attention to the good prey, such as white foxes and golden minks. When the time comes, pick out some good skins." Come on." Xiao Song hesitated and said, "What about Fujin's side?" Shu Shu said, "I'm not leaving the palace. If I do, there will be people guarding the military camp, and no one will dare to offend." Xiao Song then agreed and geared up. Said: "Then Fujin, just wait. Not only fox skins and mink skins, but also tiger skins and bear skins that the slave has picked out!" Shu Shu shook his head and said, "Just return the little things. , everyone is at ease, just hunt slowly; if you encounter tigers, black bears, etc., don't be too embarrassed, their fur is not as valuable as human life, and you must not lose people for this." Xiao Song knew that Shu Shu was kind, and he agreed honestly.
Because of Miyun's experience, Shu Shu had a shadow on Black Bear, but had no objection to the Northeast Golden Grain Layer.
This has been their habitat for generations, so they don’t necessarily have to be exterminated. She said: "If the tigers and leopards can be driven away, they may not all be killed. You can decide what to do when the time comes." Brother Jiu was standing by and said: "They are all a scourge. What can we do if we keep them?" After driving him away, what if he comes back again? He holds a grudge, feels vengeful, and secretly steals people, which is even more terrifying!" Shu Shu fell silent.
It is indeed possible. Man and beast are two unrelated lines, but the living environment is close to each other, and it is also a relationship of ebb and flow.
She nodded and said: "What I said is right..." Beijing, Beiding Empress Temple. The Hesheli mother and son stayed here temporarily, and Longkodo's bones were also collected and sent here to rest.
Longkodo's death was also explained to the outside world. It’s not easy to judge the crime according to the slave owner, that’s Longkodo
"Escaped and died unexpectedly." Two servants of the Tong family could not find anyone and committed suicide out of fear of crime. It seemed reasonable that Orundai and his son were banned before, because they were implicated by the stupid Longkodo.
The time of Longkodo's death was considered to be the seventh day of October when Brother Jiu discovered it. In this way, the first seven days of mourning will coincide with October 13th.
That day was the Golden Festival, so it was not suitable for a funeral. It was also taboo to hold funerals on double days, as funerals on double days meant two deaths, so the funeral was changed to October 15th.
Today is fourteenth, and on this evening, the Tong family members will come over to sit down for the night. Many people were still waiting to see what was going on in the palace.
Yunlong Kodo went to Beijing to hold funerals. This is
"Death will eliminate sins"? Should I go then? But Orundai hasn't moved yet, so everyone plans to wait.
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion. The dining table has been removed. Kangxi looked at the two people standing below him. The one in his thirties who was wearing a blue cotton robe and was a little reserved was Fa Hai, and the one who was sixteen or seventeen years old and expressionless was the twelfth brother.
He first looked at the twelfth elder brother and said: "Ask someone to clean up a house with three entrances and house the Hesheli family. Ask someone to go to Heshuo's consort Buxi to handle the relevant leasing procedures." The twelfth elder brother responded. , I was very surprised in my heart, but it didn’t show on my face.
Because two days ago, the emperor asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to re-sweep the previously sealed Wujin House.
The twelfth prince thought that it was for the Hesheli mother and her son, but he didn't expect that it would be replaced by the third one today.
Fahai, who was nearby, was very uneasy. He is now a minor official of Zhima, but he is still decent enough to hang out in the study room.
Even so, he is not qualified to speak on family affairs. Kangxi looked at Fahai and said: "I heard from some elders that you taught the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers well..." Fahai said hurriedly: "The two elders are smart, but the slaves are not." What to do." Kangxi pondered, and said: "The Hesheli family has a bad upbringing, I plan to let you educate Yue Xing'a..." Of course Fahai knew who Yue Xing'a was, the eldest son of Long Keduo, and his second wife and two legitimate grandchildren. one.
He frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I hate slaves very much. If Yue Xing Agui is brought up as a slave, I'm afraid he will not be tolerated by his relatives." It would be fine if he were an ordinary cousin, but this is the second cousin's direct grandson, just like Shun Anyan. , are all candidates for the successor of Duke Chengen who was parked in the second room.
When the time comes, because of him, Elundai will not want to see Yue Xing'a, which means that the uncle and nephew will turn against each other, and the two houses of the Tong family will be divided.
Kangxi also knew that Elundai and Fahai brothers had not been in contact with each other for a long time. He frowned and said: "I have the final say, it is not his turn to cover the sky with one hand!" Fahai said no more and bowed in agreement. .
Kangxi looked at the twelfth elder brother again and said: "The Wujin house that was cleared out first will be handed over to Fahai. You can go to Fahai to complete the paperwork." The house in the imperial city needs a house.
The "lease" procedure is here. Even if the rent is extremely low, the documents must be filed thoroughly, and all the money must be collected and returned to the account.
The twelfth elder brother agreed. Fahai was a little at a loss and looked at Kangxi speechless. A five-level mansion in the imperial city?
Isn’t that the standard for granting residences to ministers and academicians? ! I am a living official from the sixth grade! Kangxi saw Fahai's hesitation and looked at Fahai with questioning eyes.
"Slave...Thank you for your grace..." Fahai looked slightly excited and bowed. Kangxi said: "Take good care of Yue Xing, and you will share my worries." After hearing this, Fahai said solemnly: "I will try my best to live up to the emperor's grace..." The two of them withdrew from the imperial palace.
Fa Hai looked tense and did not dare to show his side. There was a bitter taste in his mouth. It was respectable for the imperial city to grant him dignity, but did the emperor overestimate him?
He was a concubine who was not welcomed by his father and elder brothers. He was separated from the family when he became a young man. It was not much better than leaving the house after being purified. He only had a courtyard with two entrances, and the other one in Daxing was a small village on the sand.
When they got married, the wife's background was ordinary and the dowry was not generous. The couple lives a tight life, with a dozen or so servants, all of whom can't be more streamlined.
If you want to switch to a big house with five people, and add a nephew who is studying, the expenses will be even more in the future. Even if the previous house is rented out, the rent subsidy may not be enough.
If this goes on for a long time, the losses will be huge. How could the twelfth elder brother have thought that Fa Hai, a relative of the emperor, would calculate the expenses of a few taels of silver every month and only think about completing an errand? So he said to Fa Hai: "Master Fa Hai, is he free now? What if? If you have time, you can follow me to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and complete the formalities."
"Excuse me, Lord Twelve." Fahai responded and followed Brother Twelve out of the Qianqing Palace Square to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The rents for official houses in the imperial city are extremely low, only 20% of those for official houses outside. The rent for a seven-purlin house outside the imperial city costs one cent, but in the imperial city it only costs five cents.
Therefore, the monthly rent for the Tong family's five-bedroom house with about a hundred rooms is only five taels and seven cents. After a year, it's sixty-eight taels.
The rent for the same mansion outside the imperial city would start at four hundred taels of silver, but if it were placed in Nancheng, the rent would be doubled again.
It can be seen that the rent of official houses in the imperial city is about meaning, and more about grace and honor. The twelfth elder brother asked someone to get the paperwork, added the address and rent, and gave it to Fahai.
Fa Hai looked at the amount on it and his face turned green. He is now receiving a sixth-grade salary, sixty taels of silver a year!
It turns out that even the rent for the official apartment is not enough. He looked at the document and said with a blush on his face: "Master Twelve, can I pay the rent on a monthly basis?" The document said that it should be paid on a quarterly basis.
The twelfth elder brother nodded, called for a pen post, and brought another document over. There are ordinary people in the imperial city who pay monthly for two houses. The big one rents for one cent a month; the small one pays a few cents a month. For a person who has people in every family to eat the royal food, it is nothing. …
