The next day, the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor returned to Beijing.
The ninth elder brother picked him up as usual, and when the holy emperor entered the palace, he and the twelfth elder brother returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Annual leave can officially start.
Gao Yanzhong also came here today.
Brother Jiu urged him: "Just go back as soon as you arrange for the person on duty. There is no marriage ceremony or anything else."
Nowadays, extravagant weddings are popular in the capital. The wedding is either just one day of wine and the Gao family follows the crowd, or five days of wine, three in front and two in the back.
Gao Yanzhong said: "Well, I'll be back soon."
When Gao Yanzhong left, Brother Jiu also planned to leave.
I plan to go out to meet my tenth brother and go home together.
He didn't know how much venison he brought back this time, but he didn't plan to eat it anyway.
The case of the prince's brother's pulse cannot be mentioned, and it is not easy to follow the conditions.
At this moment, there was movement at the door.
Wei Zhu came and said, "Master Jiu, a noble man of the Yonghe Palace is in a happy mood, and the emperor has ordered that supplies be obtained according to the concubine's position."
The noble lady of Yonghe Palace is the mother of the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother.
Brother Ninth nodded and sent a message to the Guangshu Treasury and the Imperial Kitchen to send a message.
The difference between the concubine's case and the noble case is very obvious. The difference in the dining room seems not bad. The concubine's case is six pounds and eighty taels of pork, fifteen plates of mutton (per month), and a total of ten chickens and ducks (per month); the noble case is six pounds of pork. Jin, the same amount of mutton, and a total of eight chickens and ducks.
As for fresh vegetables, it costs eight catties for a concubine and six catties for a nobleman.
It's just that Dongzi vegetables have been added this month. The concubine has a pound, but the nobleman doesn't.
The price of tea here is twelve taels per month for nobles and twenty-two taels per month for concubines.
The difference is more for daily use. The noble has three candles every day, one each of white wax, yellow wax and mutton wax, and the concubine has double the number, two candles each.
The noble man eats five kilograms of red radish charcoal and twenty-five kilograms of black charcoal every day; the concubine eats eight kilograms of red radish charcoal and thirty kilograms of black charcoal.
There is also a big gap between years.
The concubine has two hundred taels of silver, fifty-two pieces of various colors of silk and satin cloth, and twenty-four mink skins; the nobleman has one hundred taels of silver, thirty-nine pieces of various colors of silk and satin cloth, and fourteen mink skins.
It is now the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and asking someone to send a message at this time is to make up for the noble Wang.
It's not Ninth Brother's stuff, Ninth Brother certainly won't be verbose.
With the news of the concubine ahead, Wang Guiren's provision according to the concubine's customary rules is nothing.
If there is no person in charge of collecting the population, it will not be counted.
It’s just that I have better food and daily necessities.
Brother Jiu said to Wei Zhu, "Khan Amma is very happy to hear the news."
But it is different from the joy of meeting a concubine.
We like the new and never get tired of the old, but the old is not as good as the new.
Khan Amma is very lustful, and he loves his eighteen-year-old concubine even more.
Brother Ninth complained in his heart.
Wei Zhu said: "Yes, the emperor was very happy and immediately sent people to Yonghe Palace to deliver the reward."
The ninth elder brother said: "Good things come in pairs. Next year, two elder brothers will come in succession..."
Haha, that’s the December gem bonsai set, which only has one pot of pomegranate flowers. Should Khan Amma be confused?
Tsk tsk, the pomegranate bonsai will still be appreciated by the Qian Palace.
She is also pregnant, so it's strange that Wang Guiren feels so comfortable.
But if we don’t talk about pomegranate bonsai, let’s talk about other bonsais, if they are given to royal nobles, more people will feel uncomfortable.
The concubine and the concubine will not care about a small ornament, but what about those old-name nobles?
Are you willing to enjoy this unique favor?
After Wei Zhu left, the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers arrived.
Brother Fourteen's eyes were bright, but he didn't pour beans out of a bamboo tube like he did every time he came over.
It was Brother Thirteen who spoke.
"Brother Ninth, we saw Fu Song in the paddock on the 20th..."
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "Then you all know about the cowpox vaccine. Have you tried it?"
The Thirteenth Brother hesitated for a moment and then said: "Khan Ama has decided to vaccinate the Seventeenth Brother with cowpox on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month!"
"Huh? Are you in such a hurry? That's because cowpox is more reliable than the mature vaccine..."
The ninth elder brother was a little surprised: "I thought that the seventeenth elder brother would not be able to catch up with this wave, and the eighteenth elder brother would have to catch up the year after next."
Brother Thirteen was silent.
The fourteenth elder brother couldn't help but come up to the ninth elder brother and said: "Ninth elder brother, why are you not afraid? The third elder brother and the seventh elder brother are both afraid. Khan Ama asked if any of the emperor's grandsons and granddaughters wanted to be vaccinated with the elder brother. Well, both of them rejected it..."
Brother Jiu said: "When the 'pox' arrives in the capital, aren't all our brothers also vaccinated? There is nothing to be afraid of..."
Speaking of this, he thought about the situation of Sanbeile Mansion and Qibele Mansion, and said: "The third brother's Da Gege was born in the first month of the year. It will be the first birthday in the next year. It is a little too small. I can't tell if I feel uncomfortable." , it is also suitable to vaccinate one or two years later; the situation in Qi Ge's house is different. The third-gege born from a concubine is weak and has finally recovered better. It is not advisable to vaccinate too early. The second-gege born from a concubine is about the same size as the third-gege, so it is not good to give one as a gift. If you don’t give one as a gift, then you won’t even plant any!”
The fourteenth elder brother heard this and said: "No wonder the seventh elder brother refused hard and was not tactful at all. Khan Ama was not too annoyed. He must have thought of this."
Everything happens for a reason. It's not that I really have bad intentions. I use my brother to test the medicine to see the effect.
Brother Ninth said: "Ahma Khan is the most considerate of his son. Of course he won't blame Brother Seven."
The Fourteenth Brother hummed softly: "I know that I talk too much, which sometimes makes me unhappy, but the Seventh Brother also talks too little. Who is the roundworm in his stomach? If Khan Ama didn't think so much, he would just be annoyed. Well, isn’t that what you brought upon yourself?”
Brother Ninth Brother said: "Don't worry about others, just take care of yourself. Brother Seventh is in his late twenties, that's how you got here."
The fourteenth elder brother was a little depressed, not as lively as usual, and it was rare that he didn't reply.
The ninth elder brother was puzzled and glanced at the thirteenth elder brother.
Brother Thirteen remembered the business and recounted the conversation the brothers had after they came out of the palace on the 20th.
It's not to stir up trouble, but to see that the eighth elder brother is not kind to the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "This is probably just envy and jealousy. Don't pay attention to it. My life is good, but there are times when he feels uncomfortable."
The fourteenth elder brother has not yet enlightened himself and does not quite understand the twists and turns here.
He asked: "Is having a child so important? Just because there are no children in Bago's house yet, does it count as a fault if I ask?"
Brother Jiu said: "You will understand the meaning after you get married."
Why is Khan Amma so happy when the concubine is happy?
It's all the same.
The most unpleasant thing to say when people are scolded outside is that they are worthless.
Eighth Prince Fujin, Princess, and his concubine were among ten people, but only Eighth Prince Fujin had any movement. Didn't the outside world suspect that something was wrong with him?
In addition, Ba Fujin had an inexplicable miscarriage before, so some people suspected that she was not moving at all and was pretending to hide the shame of Ba Fujin.
Unless the Babeizi Mansion has little elder brother and little princess, the suspicion about the eighth elder brother will not end.
Unfortunately, there is no way to explain this. You can't go around telling others that there is nothing wrong with you, then it becomes something wrong.
The Fourteenth Brother glanced at the Thirteenth Brother and said, "When the Thirteenth Brother understands next year, tell me."
The thirteenth elder brother sneered and looked at the ninth elder brother for help.
This matter between husband and wife is not disclosed to anyone, right?
The ninth elder brother saw the look in the thirteenth elder brother's eyes and said to the fourteenth elder brother: "It's useless to talk on paper, why are you so anxious? Stop focusing on whether to have children or not. It sounds awkward and like a girl." "
The fourteenth elder brother immediately said: "I won't mention it anymore, it's awkward. I guess only the old man is paying attention to this."
Brother Ninth remembered that he had not seen Brother Ten yet, and said, "Didn't I come back with you? Why haven't you seen anyone?"
If it were normal, Brother Ten would have come over.
The Thirteenth Brother said: "I forgot to tell you. The Tenth Brother went to the inner hall. Abahai Taiji was poisoned by charcoal yesterday. His life is not worried, but he is also lying down. This morning, the Tenth Sister sent someone to the city. We are waiting at the door, Brother Ten has gone to the inner hall."
Brother Jiu was startled when he heard this and said: "Okay, why are you poisoned with charcoal? This can be fatal?"
Brother Thirteen said: "It seems that there has been a lot of snow these days and the charcoal is wet."
Brother Jiu said: "To take this as a warning, you should also be more careful. Don't put the fumigation cage in the bedroom, but put it outside."
Brother Thirteen agreed.
The ninth elder brother planned to go back at noon, so he did not arrange for the Prince's Mansion to deliver food. After talking to the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, he left the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, he did not go back to the Prince's Mansion directly, but went to the inner palace.
Not only the ten princes are here, but also the ten fujins.
Shi Fujin, who usually loves to smile, now has eyes like rotten peaches.
Taiji was lying on the kang, his eyes were closed, and his face was abnormally pale.
Originally a fat and burly Mongolian man, he became half dead.
The air smells turbid and sour.
Brother Jiu endured it and did not lose his composure.
The tenth brother knew that he loved to be clean, so he took him out and whispered: "When I found out in the morning, he was already incontinent. I called the imperial doctor to see him. Although his life was saved, it was not good. If he was lucky, he would be slow to react. Some; if you are unlucky, you will be paralyzed and have difficulty speaking."
The Ninth Prince and Taiji are old acquaintances. They have known each other for several years, and they have been in contact with each other since before the Tenth Prince's wedding ceremony.
Taiji also supports the golden belts, royal medicines and red-hot jewelry promoted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs over the past few years.
He looked at Brother Ten and said, "Okay, how could you be poisoned by charcoal? Is there anything fishy about it?"
He thought about the conspiracy in the past few days, and he suspected that there was a conspiracy in front of him.
Prince Abahai also has several sons, including Taiji's half-brother and half-brother.
The tenth brother shook his head and said: "It was Taiji who asked someone to add a charcoal basin. He had caught a cold a few days ago and was afraid of the cold. As the temperature dropped in the past two days, he asked someone to add a charcoal basin. The charcoal basin was not there. No matter how I cleaned it, the holes below are also somewhat clogged, and the charcoal fire is damp..."
Brother Jiu said: "Then just be optimistic about the good ones. Every year during winter, dozens of people die in the capital. If you can escape, just find someone to take good care of you..."
Speaking of this, he thought of Le Fengming and said: "The imperial doctors in the palace are all gentlemen. But Le Fengming is in Nancheng and should know many old folk doctors. You asked someone to pass it on and ask him to help many people." Find a few to try.”
He is closely related to the Tenth Prince and is the brother-in-law of the Tenth Prince. Although he is not his brother-in-law, he stands from the standpoint of the Tenth Prince and hopes that Taiji will get better...
