Brother Jiu stayed up for another hour in the afternoon before Shen Chu left the palace. When they arrived at the mansion, Brother Jiu mentioned Fusong to Shu Shu and said, "It's a coincidence that the day to go to Nanyuan is because Khan Ama will be patrolling the Yongding River soon, and he also spared a few days for the encirclement, just for hunting." It's time to relax, I'm in a hurry." Shu Shu calculated the time in his mind, and it seemed that it would be four months since the Ministry of Punishment was appointed after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Each cycle lasts for ten to half a month, and the cowpox test should be better now.
"The results should be out. Eighty percent of them are pretty good. That's why the Emperor would want to go and see them in person." Shu Shu said, "I guess the next step is to promote it on a small scale." Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "It's not easy. If we rush After the pox year, there is the threat of pox, and people who can spare money will rush to vaccinate first. But if it doesn't catch up with the pox year, well, who is willing to vaccinate? Most of them will be lucky." Shu Shu nodded. Head, so it was already in the 1990s that the entire population was vaccinated against smallpox and smallpox was eradicated.
Brother Jiu said: "No matter what, after the result is out, I hope Fusong can get out of it. It's not a good thing if such errands continue for a long time." He thinks more now, and is no longer just happy that Fusong has his name in front of the emperor.
After hearing this, Shu Shu also felt that this kind of secret errand was enough once. If he did it again, he would probably be transferred to Luan Yiwei.
In any case, everyone was relieved that Shengjia was not in Beijing. Not only the ninth elder brother felt that it was better to be idle every day, but also the princes Fujin.
On the day when the Holy Emperor left the capital, Shifujin sent a message to his sisters-in-law and Jiugege's office to invite everyone to have a drink at the Prince's Mansion on the tenth day of the lunar month.
It just so happens that everyone comes out after entering the palace to pay their respects. It is more convenient to go directly. There must be a reason for hosting a banquet like this.
This place in the Tenth Prince's Mansion has become a treasure appraisal feast. It just so happened that a batch of foreign goods had just arrived in Jiangnan before the canal froze, and the official sales had not yet started.
Shi Fujin picked out some Western jewelry, perfume, clothing materials that women liked, and had them transported back to the Prince's Mansion for everyone to see.
The last time the Tenth Prince’s Mansion hosted a banquet was
"Pot-shaking banquet", this is the only time I invited guests this year, and my wife had already greeted her, so everyone agreed to come.
It just so happened that most of the princes were away from the capital, so everyone wanted to go out and relax for a while. It was Shifujin's first time to treat a guest, so he was quite serious about it.
So on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, when Brother Jiu went out, Shu Shu ushered in the Ten Fortunes. Shi Fujin came to ask Shu Shu for help.
"Sister-in-law, as long as the banquet is fine, let's go to the restaurant and ask for the Bazhen banquet. What about the others? Do you want to open a card table? Then can I prepare some loose money for everyone?" Shu Shu thought about the people he wanted to come, San Fujin, Si Fu Jin, Wu Fu Jin, Qi Fu Jin, yourself and Jiu Gege.
Together with the proprietor Shi Fujin, there are seven people, and two tables of cards are not enough. But you can also open a table to pass the time.
If a woman doesn't drink, half an hour is enough for her to eat. When I read something, I finished it in half an hour.
You can't just leave after finishing the meal, you always have to find something to kill time.
"Let's open a table. My sister-in-law who doesn't like to talk can play cards instead of sitting around..." Shu Shu thought, paused, and said: "Even if you get something rare, no matter whether it is lacking in the palace or not, you should be filial. As a token of filial piety, my brothers and sisters will prepare some exquisite ones for perfume, snuff, etc., and give them to the Queen Mother, Dowager Concubine, and Crown Princess..." Shi Fujin still had to be watched over by a few people when he went in and out of the palace.
Shi Fujin hesitated for a moment and said: "It's still a while before we give the New Year's gift. Should I give it now and then another one during the New Year's gift?" Shu Shu said: "It's not surprising that there are many people giving gifts. There's no need to give too much this time." It's too precious. If you think about it, it won't be a waste to mention the treat in front of the elders." Shi Fujin wrote it down and said: "What about the emperor? Can I send one as a gift?" Shu Shu thought for a moment and said, He shook his head and said: "It's not necessary for the time being. The Holy Master is not in the capital. Whether or not to send him off in the future is up to the tenth brother." Ninth Brother can get close to the emperor and hang out.
"Love son"; if the tenth prince does the same, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. It is better to be still than to move. Shi Fujin nodded and said: "Well, well, I will listen to Master Shi then..." She has actually seen it. When Sister-in-law Nine thinks it is okay, she will tell her directly that it is okay; if Sister-in-law Nine thinks it is inappropriate, she will tell her directly. Let her ask Brother Ten.
Therefore, she had a good idea. In the palace, you can get close to the Queen Mother, the Dowager Concubine and the Crown Princess, but there is no need to go to the Imperial Palace.
Thinking about it, except for the annual longevity ceremony and the annual ceremony, they really did not go to the imperial court to pay tribute to anything.
* Nanyuan Paddock, the first round of siege begins today. Because there are four paddocks, they are divided into four places. Except for one place surrounded by Kangxi himself, the other three places were surrounded by the tenth prince, the thirteenth prince and the fourteenth prince.
The eldest elder brother went to serve as the deputy to the fourteenth elder brother, the third elder brother went to the thirteenth elder brother, the fifth elder brother went to the tenth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother stayed with the emperor.
In the paddock, the deer were driven into the center with a neighing sound. The encirclement became smaller and smaller, until finally, we were surrounded by the team.
Kangxi drew his bow and fired his first shot, aiming at the stag that was the leader of the herd. Hitting the neck of the stag, with a desperate cry, the stag fell to the ground, causing a commotion in the herd.
The princes, guards, and soldiers who were following the siege all raised their arms and shouted, and began to follow and hunt. The fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother followed the holy driver.
Both of them held bows, but did not control the strings. Kangxi glanced at the two of them, his eyes fixed on Si Age's bow, and then moved away.
Fourth elder brother’s face
"Teng" suddenly turned red. He pursed his lips and watched as everyone fired volleys into the deer. His position was a bit far away from the deer, so he couldn't guarantee a sure shot, so he didn't draw the bow.
Kangxi's eyes fell on the eighth prince again, and the eighth prince's face showed pity. Following Eighth Brother's line of sight, it turned out that not far ahead was a doe with several arrows in her body.
It screamed "Young" but did not fall to the ground. Under its belly was a fawn that was only one and a half feet tall. The eighth prince couldn't bear it, so he didn't shoot the arrow.
Kangxi's expression remained unchanged, but disgust arose in his heart. Such pretentiousness is really the same as his mother-in-law...* The adjacent paddock to the west is exactly where the tenth prince is.
After shooting the first arrow, the tenth prince reined in his horse and did not approach. Those who followed began firing volleys. The fifth elder brother did not move.
The two brothers exited the hunting circle and talked behind them. It's not a competition, and there's no reward, so the tenth prince doesn't compete here.
Still, he just came out alone. Without Brother Jiu, he felt uncomfortable and lost a bit of interest. The fifth elder brother said: "I and the paddock manager bought some milk-producing doe, do you want to share two of them with you?" The tenth elder brother shook his head and said: "Thank you, fifth brother, no need, just prepare the ninth brother's share." ." The fifth elder brother was not polite to him. He just thought that it had been two years since the tenth elder brother's wedding and there was still no news from Shi Fujin, so he said with some enthusiasm: "Let's go to Hongluo Temple. It's been a hard two days on the road. After two more days of fasting and a few days of quietness, the sincerity will come, and the Buddha will bless the child and the child will come..." The main thing is to be quiet and recharge your batteries.
The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "Thank you, the fifth elder brother. I plan to go back to Hongluo Temple." The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Okay, don't delay. We are very different from Fengsheng and the others. Let's go to Hongluo Temple." It won’t be one group after another.” Brother Ten smiled, he thought so too...*
"Ho ho..." The atmosphere in the paddock of Brother Fourteen was much more lively.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Brother Fourteen took the lead and sprinted at the front, the bow in his hand never stopping.
A barrel of arrows shot cleanly. The fourteenth elder brother was still unfinished and wanted to touch the second quiver, but the elder brother next to him reached out and took off the quiver on his horse.
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the eldest elder brother and said in surprise: "Brother?" He has no arrows and wants to snatch his own!
The eldest brother frowned and said: "You used the Liuli Bow and shot fourteen arrows in a row. Do you want your arm?" The fourteenth brother also felt that there was something wrong with the shoulder.
He sneered and said: "Then brother, please take it easy for a while and continue later?" The eldest brother shook his head firmly and said: "That's it for today. There are still two days tomorrow and the next two days. Why are you in a hurry?" The corners of the fourteenth brother's mouth drooped. But I also know that the elder brother means well.
He couldn't help but blame Kangxi in his heart. It was said that they asked several of their younger brothers to carry the flag and march around, but one of them had an older brother next to him. What is this?
Why didn’t the elder brother learn well? Before, I taught people a lesson, but now I start to manage them! He was dissatisfied, but he still said: "When the eldest brother was thirteen, did you only shoot one barrel of arrows?" The eldest brother waved his hand and said, "Two arrows!" The fourteenth brother's eyes widened and he wanted to speak. .
The eldest brother had already said: "At that time, I had already drawn the eight-power bow, and I was two inches taller than you are now..." The fourteenth brother put away the bow and said: "When I become a man in two years, I will also be designated as a ten-power bow. "Brother, don't you be so old that you can't pull the ten-power bow by then?" The eldest brother took the whip and pointed at the fourteenth brother: "When you become a man, and you still talk like this, I will whip you with a whip!" But the fourth elder brother was not afraid and said: "Humph! The elder brother is just bragging. Now the brothers above are all adults, and I don't see who are you going to attack, elder brother?" The elder brother laughed and scolded: "No one else has you either. You talk like this!" The Fourteenth Brother quit and said: "Isn't there another Ninth Brother? My younger brother likes to tell the truth, which doesn't sound very good. Isn't Ninth Brother the same?" The eldest brother said: "Okay, when the time comes If he does this again, I will be beaten..." Brother Fourteen: "..." That's not what he meant. It's like he forced his eldest brother to beat someone.
What did he say? Don't you like to hear it? Isn't it just one
The word "old"? I’m not just saying that, my eldest brother will be thirty next year, so he can call himself
The age of the "old man". Are all older people like this? Afraid of growing old? Brother Fourteen's eyes rolled around, looking in the direction of the Holy Driver.
What about Khan Amma? He's about twenty years older than my eldest brother, so he can't listen, right?
The word "old"? *Today is very hot and humid, the air conditioner is turned down, and then I get cervical spondylosis. The more critical the moment, the more it becomes like this, and I burst into tears.
There are two updates today, but there will be no more at 0 o'clock. I will work hard tomorrow and ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket.
