29. Gold Festival

It wasn't until the end of September, when the weather cooled, that the court breathed a sigh of relief.

In the fourth elder brother's mansion, Fu Jin couldn't help but recite the Buddha in the gradually cooling evening breeze: "It's finally cool." So that the epidemic does not expand again. ”

Mama Fu also smiled, "This is all blessed by the emperor, God has opened his eyes." ”

During this time, people in the capital were indeed panicked. In July, the Yellow River was flooded, and in August, there was a drought in Shandong, followed by a famine in the northeast. After the fold was handed over to Beijing, the emperor finally ordered the Shandong Guancang to release grain to relieve the victims.

When the water receded, a large-scale outbreak occurred in the flood-stricken areas and among displaced people. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic into Beijing, all localities began to intercept the victims, and more tragic incidents occurred.

Compared with these, Jingli is relatively calm, except for the choice of disaster relief for a while, the various royal mansions are no longer as 'bitter' as they were some time ago. Several opera troupes from Shandong Province in Beijing have said that they have bought a lot of good seedlings, and they must be another corner if they are well trained.

Before, Fujin was still worried that there were no good tenants in the Zhuangzi that the Internal Affairs Office transferred when the government opened the house, but recently, both official and private people have entered the house to speak, and now it is very cheap to buy people.

"Just doing a good deed, the grandmothers raised their hands slightly and saved the lives of his family." After Renyazi entered the house, he couldn't see Fujin, but Mama Zhuang and Mama Fu watched it together. Since you want to pick someone, you always have to ask where you come from, whether you have relatives and friends, and so on. Although there are many people who buy them, they can't just pick some crooked melons and inferior dates.

After reading it, the two of them will not make a decision now, but will return to Fujin and make a decision by Fujin.

Mama Fu saw Fu Jin first and said, "Speaking of which, the people with official teeth are more expensive, and most of them are sinners. The private teeth are better, the people are cheaper, and I heard that they are all strong laborers. ”

Fu Jin asked Mama Zhuang again. Although Mama Zhuang came out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she also suggested that Fujin buy someone who sent her private teeth, the reason was that it was less involved. She said: "If Fujin wants to buy someone, it's better to be fast." Almost all of the people sent by these people were displaced here because of the disaster in their hometowns, and it won't be long before I am afraid that these people should be allowed to return to their hometowns. It will not be available at that time. ”

After the natural disaster, the return of the victims has always been a big problem, and the imperial court had to order that people were not allowed to take in unknown people, and officials like Renyazi who took the opportunity to make a fortune would keep an eye on it. Notices will be issued in various places to inform the public, and check the yellow register of household registration one by one. Those who are found to be not in their places of origin will be repatriated under the flail, and those who return to their hometowns in this way will have to be subjected to increased forced labor, which is unspeakably miserable.

It's just that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. For example, the drama troupe can see the problem of whether the money is plugged in place, and no one will ask about the fourth elder brother's mansion at all.

So as long as someone buys it, it will be the house slave of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.

Fu Jin ended up buying sixty-four people. Among them, there are only twelve official teeth, and the rest are all private teeth, but the value difference between the two sides is nearly half.

Fujin can finally start to replace Zhuangzi. Most of the Zhuangzi divided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs once had owners, and some of them were simply granges after the offender raided the house. The people inside from the head of the village to the tenants below are not all oily, but at least a large part of them like to be yang and yin.

Fu Jin didn't have time to entangle with them, so he simply took the opportunity to change things. The replaced ones were all sold, and no matter how much they ate before, they now have to spit out. How many flesh and bones were separated from the sold, and it is unknown to cry and grab.

In the fourth elder brother's mansion, he has to prepare for the Golden Festival.

This time I was able to spend it safely, and everyone from the emperor to the courtiers was very happy. It happened to be the Gold Festival, in order to celebrate and sweep away the dull and tense atmosphere in Beijing, the emperor decided to hold a small court banquet, and let the close branch clan and close ministers enter the palace to eat, drink and watch the play.

Speaking of which, everyone is stained with relatives, which is quite a family feast.

The emperor mentioned it at the small court meeting, and there were many people who were interested below. Everyone knows that the emperor is in a good mood, so what are you waiting for if you don't take the opportunity to show your face? Tong Guowei said that he would ask the emperor for a few more seats to bring out the children in the family to open his eyes.

The emperor smiled and said: "They are all children of their own family, they are really here, can I still let them stand?" ”

Tong Jia's is extraordinarily faced, different from other people's families. But the other families are not vegetarians, so they just watch Tong Jia's family dominate? When the small court meeting ended, almost all the palace lords in the harem got the news, and everyone who felt that they deserved this face in the family tried to send a message to the emperor.

In Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Hui called the eldest brother in and said, "This time the emperor's orders are urgent, we know too late." But no matter how late there is a seat of the Nalan clan at the banquet, I am not afraid that the emperor will forget, but I am afraid that those villains will make trouble and put our family in an inconspicuous distance, and there will be no one on the emperor's seat when I look back, and it will be a shame to ask again. ”

The eldest brother smiled: "E-niang is really crazy. Your son is standing here with such a big person, who dares not to see it? ”

Concubine Hui said: "You? You're just too conspicuous! How many times have you said it, be calm, be calm. The emperor already has a prince in front of him, what are you like when you don't see him? You are outside now, and the emperor is too lazy to care about you. But I don't believe it, the emperor will scold you less. ”

Neither of them spoke.

After a while, Concubine Hui lowered her voice and said, "You look ahead, just say where is Guangluo Baylor now?" What happened to the first few brothers like him? Taizong was the eighth elder brother, but he was not the most favored at that time. But tell me, how are the top and the favored ones doing now? What about their descendants? ”

As soon as this topic was mentioned, the person who stabbed him even broke out in a cold sweat on the back of his neck.

Concubine Hui said: "I gave birth to two of your brothers, and only one of you survived." I will only hope for your good, and will not hold you back. There are some things that you can't think about deeply, you can't think about them too much. But we have to know it in our hearts. You...... Now that people outside are calling you a thousand years old, my heart trembles when I hear it......"

"Eniang......" The eldest brother knelt on one knee and held one of Concubine Hui's hands.

Concubine Hui is nearly forty years old, and she grew up with the emperor. Usually looks old when he looks bright, but now he is sad and old.

She took the eldest brother's hand and said softly: "My Alin, Eniang wishes you to be as majestic and strong as Changbai Mountain, and I don't want you to be the bird that comes out." ”

Concubine Hui's eldest son Chengqing was over one year old, and she gave birth to a big brother the next year. After giving birth to this child, the emperor did not dare to name him at first, because too many children in the palace died at that time. Concubine Hui quietly gave him a nickname in Manchu, which means mountain. I hope this child will live as long and strong as a mountain.

When the eldest brother didn't go to the elder brother's office when he was a child, Concubine Hui often sat on the edge of the bed at night, holding his little hand and calling him by his nickname softly. Once the eldest brother didn't fall asleep and heard it, so he asked Concubine Hui what the name meant, Concubine Hui hugged him and said, "E-Niang wants to call you to stop, save you from running away, don't want E-Niang." ”

Since then, Concubine Hui has never given birth to a child, and she raised the eldest brother to be as tall and strong as his nickname.

The eldest brother put his forehead on Concubine Hui's lap, and muttered to Eniang with a slight damp in his eyes, then stood up and wiped his eyes, and said with a smile: "Eniang, don't worry, your Alin Ah is not that stupid." ”

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "The son of the seat is going to keep an eye on it, and this matter doesn't have to go through the hands of other people, just go to the Internal Affairs Office." Even if there are villains in the prince's place who want to make trouble, I will go to the prince and talk to him, and he will definitely restrain his subordinates. ”

Concubine Hui explained to him: "It's good that you and the prince are so noisy." It doesn't have to be too good, it can't be too bad. How many people are staring outside? ”

"I know what I know." The eldest brother picked up the braid that hung down to his chest and threw it behind him and tucked it on his belt, "My son is back, E-niang goes to bed early at night, don't pick up any Buddha, the kneeling legs are broken." ”

Concubine Hui smiled: "E-niang listens to Alin'a." Go ahead. ”

In addition to Concubine Hui's Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Yi's Yikun Palace is full of joy. The emperor asked people to spread the word for a while, and Concubine Yi hurriedly coaxed Brother Jiu away. Brother Jiu refused, grabbed Concubine Yi's robe and leaned on the pedal, and had to grind Concubine Yi to get him a new pair of bows and arrows.

"Nope." Concubine Yi's phoenix eyes squinted, looked at her armor and said, "Your pair was just rewarded to you by the emperor last year." ”

"My son's strength has grown." Brother Nine wants a sub-horn.

"Oh?" Concubine Yi smiled, and her face said 'I don't believe it'.

Brother Jiu said: "I can pull a stone." ”

"Bragging." Concubine Yi said directly without stumbling at all, she glanced at the palace maid next to her, the palace maid gave her a gesture, she saw that the time was almost up, and she no longer entangled with Brother Jiu, and directly pulled him up and threw him into his nurse's arms, "Hurry up, throw this kid out for me." ”

Brother Jiu snorted angrily and pushed away the nurse and ran out with a smoke. The nurse, the grandmother, and the palace maid and eunuch all hurriedly chased after them.

In the house, Concubine Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This little thing can grind me to death." An aunt on the side brought a bowl of tea and said with a smile: "The mother scolded fiercely, don't mention how much I hurt Brother Jiu in my heart." ”

Concubine Yi smiled at this time: "He is the meat that fell from my body, who does he hurt if he doesn't hurt?" This kid didn't know how to fall in love with the bow made of horns again...... I remember that the emperor seemed to have a few pairs there. ”

The aunt said: "Niangniang, take it slowly, you have to see that the emperor is in a good mood before mentioning it." ”

Concubine Yi recruited someone to bring the makeup box, set up the makeup mirror to see if the fat powder had fallen off, smiled sweetly at the mirror, and said, "The emperor is in a good mood today." ”

In Yonghe Palace, the fourteenth elder brother was surrounding Concubine De's knee and said, "Two days ago, when the prince came over, he took a bow with horns, and I saw that the eyes of the ninth and tenth brothers were wrong, and they kept looking at the bow. ”

Concubine De hugged him, "You want it too?" ”

Fourteen hurriedly said, "Erchen doesn't want it. ”

Concubine De patted him and said, "All bows are used the same, and the arrows shot are the same to kill the enemy." The crown prince is the prince, and the ninth elder brother is the ninth elder brother. Don't compare yourself to others. Look at your fourth brother, have you seen him ask for something from Eniang? ”

The fourteenth elder brother said angrily: "He's so old......" Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth when he saw Concubine De's disapproving eyes.

Concubine De gave him a full collar, patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, go back to Brother's place." Remember to practice calligraphy when you go back, don't learn from Lao Ba. How many times has the emperor said that it is not good, do you want to be like him? ”

Fourteen stood and asked Concubine De to take care of her clothes, and interjected: "Starling is trying to make Emperor Amaduo remember him, as if no one can see it." I'll ...... when I turn back," the words were forced back by Concubine De's eyes.

After he left, Concubine De said to the grandmother beside her, "This child is really ignorant. ”

Mama said: "Brother is still young, it's good when he's older." ”

Concubine De didn't say anything, for a long time, and sighed leisurely. said in a dry tone: "The emperor said that he wanted to hold a family banquet, and Tong Jiashi said that he wanted to bring all the children in the family." Someone from the Nalan clan must be coming, and the eldest brother is standing there. I heard just now that the emperor went to Yikun Palace, and I think that Guo Luoluo's family can also have one or two seats. ”

Mama lowered her head and did not dare to answer.

Concubine De didn't say any more.

What about her? Hehe, the emperor won't let a slave sit on it. In a palace, there is no place in her family.

October 13 Gold Festival. The emperor held a banquet in the Baohe Palace, from the eldest brother to the fourteenth elder brother were all seated, and Prince Liyu of the clan took the lead, sitting closest to the emperor, followed by Prince Gong. The crown prince and the eldest elder brother were holding the cup for the clansmen, and they toasted for a while, and the remaining elder brothers also stepped forward to toast.

The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother are more embarrassing. There were no relatives of their mother's family here. Wu Ya's family is a person who can't do it, Concubine Rong was born in the Ma Jia family, and probably the emperor has forgotten about it. The third elder brother hurriedly returned to his seat, and the fourth elder brother ran away with the wine jug, so he stood behind Tong Guowei.

When the emperor drank with Tong Guowei, the fourth elder brother filled Tong Guowei's cup twice. After the salute was finished, after Tong Guowei returned to his seat, he pulled the fourth elder brother and said affectionately: "The fourth elder brother should also go back and eat something, and the minister will come by himself." He turned his head and called out to his son Long Keduo and asked him to send the fourth elder brother back to his seat.

Long Keduo respectfully sent the fourth elder brother back. Of course, the fourth elder brother couldn't just let him go, so he grabbed the two of them to drink three cups, and Long Keduo bowed his hand and retreated.

There was no banquet in the harem, after all, the catastrophe had just passed, and the court still had to live simply. just set up a small banquet in the palace of several concubines. In Yonghe Palace, Dai Jia, the biological mother of the seventh elder brother, and Zhang Jia, the biological mother of the thirteenth elder brother, were accompanying Concubine De, and Sifujin was sitting under him.

Concubine De had a smile on her face, but she was not enthusiastic and did not talk much. Sifujin, who is a junior, is not too public, in addition to saying a few funny words when Dai Jiashi toasted, he had a bite to eat with a plate of ginkgo biloba in front of him without a mouthful. It's that Zhang Jiashi can speak, and the atmosphere with her is not too cold.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., I ate once and twice for snacks. Concubine De looked at the sky outside and said, "I think it's almost time." ”

As soon as these words fell, the remaining three stood up and took their leave.

Concubine De said: "It's really embarrassing for you to let you accompany me here." After saying the kind words, the palace maid on the side took out three trays. I don't need these things, you're still young, and you don't have to lose yourself too much. ”

Dai Jia's and Zhang Jia's retreated after a few polite words, but Sifujin wanted to stay and wait for the fourth elder brother. Concubine De pointed to the things in the tray and said: "This is the Tibetan tea rewarded by the Queen Mother, you young ** don't like it, but I like this taste, and it doesn't taste as bland as other teas." ”

Fu Jin said: "Erchen also likes this, and the last time I was rewarded by my mother, I am almost finished." ”

Concubine De smiled: "It's good if you like it." ”

After two words of gossip, the two had nothing to say. Concubine De looked sleepy, leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes slightly. Fu Jin quietly walked up to her and squeezed her shoulder. Concubine De was stunned, and felt bad when she thought about it, so she had to endure letting her pinch it. After pinch for a while, he sat up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, good boy, come and sit down." I think the fourth child should arrive in a while. ”

Thinking about the matter at the banquet, Concubine De rarely instructed: "Go back in a while, you can be more relieved for him." After a pause, he sighed, "This is the thing...... It's really no wonder that anyone else's is blamed. ”

At six o'clock, the banquet in front finally ended. The emperor called the crown prince and the fourth elder brother to send Tong Jia's people, the eldest elder brother sent Prince Gong, and Prince Yu was personally sent to the door by the emperor's hand.

When the guests were gone, the emperor handed over the rest to the prince, and called the eldest brother and several elder brothers who had built a mansion to hurry home, and then called the two little elder brothers, thirteen and fourteen, to go back to the harem together. I was not called by him, so I had to go back to my brother's office. When the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother left, they kicked and stomped, and scolded angrily at the backs of the thirteenth and fourteenth people: "Sycophant." ”

The fourth elder brother went to Yonghe Palace to pick up Fujin, but before he arrived, the matter of the banquet was transmitted back to the harem. After Concubine De asked Fu Jin to go out, Mama quietly told her about the fourth elder brother standing behind Tong Guowei.

Concubine De knew that she hadn't spoken for a long time, and only later did she say with difficulty: "...... Blame my mother's family for having no one and losing my brother's face. ”

On the way out of the palace, Fu Jin sat in the car, and the fourth elder brother followed on horseback. She lifted the curtain of the car window and saw that there was no displeasure in his expression. Yonghe Palace is probably a mother's heart, and I think about it seriously-

The author has something to say: see you tomorrow.
