Chapter 415: Painstaking Efforts

Mukden was still as cold as the middle of winter at this time, and the north was windy and snowy, and the wind was cold to the bone.

Fourteen sat in the tent and drank mutton soup directly with a half-sized casserole, put down the casserole and wiped his face after drinking, and shouted to the soldiers outside the tent: "Amur, bring hot water to the master." ”

Amur was a Mongol, and although he was not very old when it came to Buku, he was one of the few good players in the army.

He was eating mutton with the others by the campfire outside the tent, and when he heard the call of the fourteenth master in the tent, he hurriedly carried a large pot of hot water inside.

Mixing a basin of hot water, Amr stood in front of him with a bronze mirror, and Fourteen began to shave himself with a knife.

When he came to the north, Fourteen grew a beautiful beard. After growing a beard, it is much more suitable for him to stand with the soldiers, and no one thinks that he is young and tender, and he is a young man from Beijing, not a person who leads the soldiers.

So he not only grew a beard, but also tried not to take a bath, wash his face or change his socks for several months. The eunuchs who waited for him were disgusting, but he felt that this was called manliness!

But he is about to return to Beijing, and it would be inappropriate for him to dare to enter Beijing like a flower child.

Amur asked him, "Master, it's time for us to go back, right?" ”

Fourteen rubbed his chin and mumbled.

Amr wondered, "But I don't think the others have moved." ”

Fourteen said with two hearts: "Just your grandfather and I brought people into Beijing, and the soldiers here can't all be withdrawn, otherwise what will people do when they see us leaving?" ”

After shaving, he picked up the hot water and washed his face, and Fourteen touched his still burrly cheeks, and the person in the bronze mirror seemed to be ten years younger all of a sudden.

"Your grandfather is bringing people to Beijing to ask for rewards, you just follow your grandfather, it's a good thing, you don't have to worry about anything else." Fourteen ways.

Amur went out with the used water and copper kettle, poured the dirty water and returned to the bonfire, and whispered to the people there: "I heard from the fourteenth master, I am afraid that it will be beneficial to follow back to Beijing this time." ”

The people around the bonfire were all the soldiers around Fourteen, and they were all happy at this time. They followed out for a trip, and they didn't talk about a battle, and maybe they could all be promoted to a small level when they went back, and even if they couldn't be promoted, the reward would definitely be indispensable.

The person next to him handed Amur a leather bag, and Amur took two sips of the burnt knife from his neck, so hot that his eyes burst into tears.

One of them whispered, "Then why did I see that the tent was confiscated by Lord Nian?" Won't he go back with us? ”

They are all people who came out of the capital together, Nian Qianyao has always been very good with the Fourteenth Master, and the Fourteenth Master can be regarded as taking care of him, and he will usually call him when he drinks. There are people from all over the country this time, although the fourteenth master is a leader, some people don't buy his account, and it is inevitable that everyone will be familiar with each other in the same year.

In this case, it is even more necessary to go in and out together.

So since the Fourteenth Master wants to bring people back to Beijing to receive a reward, how can he leave the young man behind?

Everyone knows that it is a good thing to go back, and a good thing is not to bring Nian Qianyao, which means that the fourteenth master will be far away from him from now on?

A few people guessed and guessed. Fourteen in the tent finished shaving his face, looked through the letter sent by Jingli again, sat down and thought about it, and asked Nian Qianyao to call.

As soon as Nian Qianyao heard the fourteenth master call in the tent, he immediately came over. His attendant hurriedly brought him the big cloak, and he pushed it away because he was too troublesome. When he arrived outside the tent of the Fourteenth Master, a thin layer of snow fell on his head and shoulders.

Fourteen sat in the tent reading the letter, and when he looked up at him like this, he immediately got up and pulled him down to the brazier, and then called to Amur: "Go, bring my clothes and let the young man change them first." ”

Nian Qianyao was about to refuse, and Fourteen patted him on the shoulder hard, and said affectionately: "Lianggong don't be polite to me, you have a lot of credit for coming out this time, and you will have to reuse it when you come to see Long Live in the future, Lianggong has a great future." ”

Nian Qianyao couldn't help but be complacent when he heard this, and when he changed into the clothes of the fourteenth master and came out to sit down again, the fourteenth offered the wine, and then retreated left and right, and put out a heart-to-heart jiashi.

Fourteen Dao: "Lianggong also knows that it is impossible for the imperial court to let us stay here all the time, the army is here for a day, and the silver on the imperial court side is flowing out, and it is quite rare to allow us to stop here for half a year." ”

Nian Qianyao hurriedly said yes, and Fourteen patted his arm, and said in a low voice: "I'm leaving, and the people in this camp are from Shandong and Sichuan." Speaking of this, Fourteen couldn't help but sigh and frowned: "I can't imagine that these people have the courage to disobey discipline if they don't come out this time." ”

When the armies from all over the country come together, it is inevitable that they will compete for their strengths and weaknesses and compete with each other. At this time, if the upper one is a little weaker, it is possible that the subordinates will lead the nose away.

Fourteen was also in a hurry when he came in.

There's no way, everyone doesn't obey him, if the people below hug each other, won't he become an ornament?

Until now, Fourteen knew that there were many people in this camp who were in favor of the yang and the yin. But they all know that he won't stay here for long, and he will leave sooner or later, so he also has the intention of coaxing his brother to play, and he doesn't take Fourteen seriously. Listening to him in person, there were a lot of people muttering behind his back.

This time, he revealed that he was going back to Beijing, and the camp became restless. There were several fights in the past two days. Fourteen was really afraid that he would leave on the front foot and fight in his own camp later.

Thinking about it, I still have to leave someone to come down and watch the stall.

It's just that no one is willing to take this errand that offends people, and Fourteen doesn't want to harm his own people. Picking a middle-aged Qianyao has the meaning of picking soft persimmons, but it is more suitable to put him here than others.

First of all, everyone in the past year and a half knows that Nian Qianyao has a favored girl in the palace, who pulls tiger skin to make a big banner, and the one who can get involved with the emperor is a chicken dog ascending to heaven.

Besides, Fourteen sees that Nian Qianyao has a crazy energy, and he can be used as an arrow to give him a chicken feather, and sometimes Fourteen can't stop it when he is crazy. Once he asked Nian Qianyao to take people to find a water source, and a few of the people who gave it to him were not convinced of him, so they found him awkward on the way. Nian Qianyao directly slashed and killed on the spot on the grounds of disobeying military orders, and when they came back after looking for a water source, how could there be a few fewer people in the Fourteenth Century?

After asking, Fourteen was directly dumbfounded, and Nian Qianyao still said in front of him that these people should be killed!

Speaking of zuihou, even fourteen muttered, is he too weak? Is it like to lead soldiers like Nian Qianyao? After that, it was natural to let people drag the bodies of those people back so that they could be buried.

Afterwards, he found out that Nian Qianyao was bold.

It would be too appropriate to keep him at this point. If those people really dare to make a camp after the fourteenth person leaves, Nian Qianyao's temper may dare to tie up and cut people. Even if he makes a big fuss, won't he just push him out then? In the end, the Nian family has nothing to do with it, and there is only one Nalan Rong among the in-laws, but it is a pity that Ming Xiang has something to do with the king of Zhijun, and it is not good when he was the first emperor. The sister in the palace hasn't even given birth to an elder brother now, so she doesn't have to scruple.

Fourteen naturally said that this matter must be bright, and Nian Qianyao's eyes lit up when he heard it. Although he was stuffed into Banzai by taking advantage of his sister-in-law's strength, he was at the bottom of his family background and qualifications, and thanks to the fourteenth master's willingness to carry him, he was not tortured in the army.

He knew that now everyone was looking forward to returning to Beijing with the Fourteenth Master to face the saint, and he refused to stay to do this errand that offended people, but it was easier for him to do the errand brilliantly if he stayed alone! If someone really wants to take advantage of the Fourteenth Master's return to Beijing, that is his chance!

In the capital, it is already spring back to the earth.

In the Old Summer Palace, Li Wei asked people to cut cloth, and she wanted to make a belly pocket for the newborn little guy in Erhe.

Erhe had already finished her confinement the day before yesterday, and the fourth master immediately announced her and the child to the Old Summer Palace. Li Wei was holding her first grandson at the time, and she really felt that for this little guy, her daughter was a big sin.

The fourth master named this little baby Fuhui, and everyone called "Brother Fu, Brother Fu".

Only Li Wei felt that this name was a little familiar, and she understood it when she looked at Momofuku later.

Yuyan helped her cut the cloth and said with a smile: "In the near future, there should be good news from the second elder brother." ”

Li Wei smiled and sighed, "Yes, they are all married one by one." ”

The belly pocket is a relatively simple thing, and it is not effortless to make, and by the evening she has cut out seven or eight pieces, just embroidering all kinds of auspicious patterns in the middle.

When Yuyan asked her if she had put away the rest of the cloth, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't done anything for the fourth master for most of the year. I have been doing it for Hongyun before, and then I embroidered a dowry for Erhe, and now it is Fuhui.

"Wait." She said.

Yuyan hurriedly put down the cloth, Li Wei pulled a ruler and compared, feeling that it was not enough to make a gown, but it was enough to make a big trousers.

She made big pants for the fourth master and several sons, and specially let them wear them when it was hot in the house, like five-point sweatpants. Do this quickly, and you don't need to embroider any patterns on it, cut two pieces one by one, and then close the edges.

When the fourth master came back from the Qinzheng Palace, he saw her doing needlework in the house, and after thinking about it, he went to Hongyu's side to go around, and after taking the book that Hongyu read today, he asked him to take him to the yard to shoot darts, and when he came back to see that she was still doing it, he couldn't help but come over and say: "Do less, pay attention to bad eyes." ”

Li Wei didn't realize that he had returned, so she immediately put down her needle and thread and got up and said, "Why didn't you call me?" ”

The fourth master sat down and said, "I see you're busy." He picked up the half-finished needle and thread in the basket and looked at it, and said, "I know that you have been worried about Erhe a few days ago, and this is for Fuhui?" Before he could finish speaking, he saw that this was the size of an adult, and he smiled: "This is made for me?" ”

As he spoke, he put it on his body and compared, and said, "I can wear it in July." ”

Li Wei brought the tea, he put down the half-pulled pants, and beckoned her to sit beside him.

The children have grown up, and the fourth master's mood is also very complicated. The growth of Honghui and Hongyu made him happy, Erhe had children, but it made him feel that time had passed, and he and Susu were old.

He held her hand for a long time and didn't speak, just seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Wei sat with him like this.

The fourth master smiled abruptly: "The children are all older, and I still remember that Erhe was like this when he was so old." He gestured, and what he remembered very clearly was that Erhe had a red swaddling baby, and she was lying on the bed in such swaddling clothes and waving at him.

Both of them talked about Erhe's childhood all night, such as how she was too good at eating when she was a child, and the fourth master said: "I was always worried that she would eat bad stomachs. "So in the study, Erhe took out her snack box with snacks and gave everyone a circle first, and the fourth master, who was not hungry at all, would uphold the belief that 'if he eats more, Erhe will eat less'.

He smiled: "That snack box you prepared for Erhe to put snacks seems to be only able to hold a maximum of four pieces?" "It's the size of a palm, and you can only stack four mung bean cakes.

Because what was prepared at that time was that she would go to the front yard to read with the fourth master, only eat this snack in the morning, and after lunch at noon, she should come back to take a nap. She doesn't have a big stomach, four pieces are divided between the fourth master and Honghui, she eats two pieces by herself, and adds half a cup of tea, which is enough for her to last until lunch.

Usually the dust is sealed in the depths of memory, but once I think of it, it is still fresh in my memory, as if it was yesterday.

Because of the fourth master's love for Erhe, all the mansions in Beijing have given gifts to the princess's mansion, which is very lively for a while. Even Hongyu Kaifu has never received so many gifts.

Indeed, compared with his sister, Hongyu's departure from the palace is quite low-key.

Although he didn't intend to alarm too many people, and even invited only two tables of relatives and friends, Kyori didn't seem to be interested in this bald brother who came out of the palace as an adult.

Hongyu checked the gift list in the study and prepared a return gift, and found that there were not a few people like the Tong family who only gave a gift money hastily, and they didn't even bother to prepare a gift. The warmth and coldness of human affection can be seen.

No matter how prepared I am, I still don't feel very good.

Hongyu quietly copied the roster of the gift list and personally replied to the thank you post.

The eunuch Lu Tongxi came in and said, "Second master, the report from Fujin said that it had been launched. ”

Hongyu put down the pen and hurriedly went to the back, and saw that the mother who delivered the baby had already entered. It happened that Erhe had already given birth and had been in confinement before, so he and his mother borrowed Mama Liu and Dr. Bai. Compared with the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, he still believes in the two people who have been waiting in the house since childhood.

Bai Shizhou had already gone in to ask for a pulse before, and now Mama Liu was waiting in the house. He came over to ask Hongyu for peace, and Hongyu helped him and said, "Uncle Bai has worked hard, is it important to have a good baby in Fujin?" ”

Bai Shizhou even said that he didn't dare, Erfujin's pregnancy was safe, as long as God didn't sneeze today, and suddenly came, it would be fine.

Hongyu was relieved when he found out, and asked someone to send a message to the Bolzin clan to reassure her, and he didn't stay here for more, so he turned around and went back to the front.

It started in the afternoon, and in the early hours of the morning, the Borzin clan gave birth to Hongyu's first child, and the mother and daughter were safe.

When the news was sent to the Old Summer Palace, Li Wei asked Yuyan to prepare something to be rewarded, but she couldn't say that she was too disappointed, and the first one was better than anything else. Unlike Jihua in later generations, as long as you can give birth to a child here, you don't have to worry about not being able to give birth to a son.

The fourth master didn't say anything about it, but he deliberately found Hongyu to have a meal with him the next day, which was a good thing to congratulate him.

By July, I heard that the fourteenth master was about to arrive in Zhangjiakou, and all the children in the palace had landed. What makes people laugh and cry is that except for Erhe's son, Honghui and Hongyu are all girls.

Li Wei thinks this must be black humor, but maybe it's some kind of natural law? In the case of the Kyorcha clan, she was the only daughter among her children, and the other four were all sons. And since Li Wei's two uncles married their wives, they have more daughters and fewer sons. Now only Feiyangu has a younger son, and his eldest uncle Tafu has two girls in a row.

Tafu said that her daughter was born with wealth, and she had to raise it well, and she was matched with the girl and her mother-in-law from the time she landed, and she had to use a nurse for the girl, and she was scolded by her aunt, she had milk, why did she have to buy milk from outside?

When Li Wei heard the original words of the Jueercha clan, she almost didn't laugh.

So she also specially called Hongyu and told him that her daughter is blessed and born with wealth, and he has two daughters, which is double the wealth.

Hongyu knew that E-Niang was afraid that he would feel that he would give birth to two daughters in a row, and none of them would be discouraged by his son, so he smiled and said: "E-niang, I also love my two girls." It's my own birth, and I'm good-looking and cute, how can I not like it? I'll bring it to you when I'm older. ”

He has seen what life his three sisters are doing since he was a child, except for his own sister Erhe, who lives like a royal mansion, Yierha and Zalafen have suffered and been wronged.

Bolzin looks okay now, and that Gege doesn't seem to have any bad deeds, but his heart is separated from his belly, and he really doesn't dare to take this risk. So after the children landed, they were all taken away, and he deliberately set up a yard in the house to come out of the house, called the milk room. The two little Geges were accompanied by the nurse and lived there, fed and fed the same, because they had not been on the ground for a few months, and they should be dressed the same.

He often went to see that there was something wrong with the two children, and that the people who were waiting for them had no good fruit to eat.

It is also easy for Borzin and that Gege to see the child, let the nurse hold it and see it, see each other every few days, and stay with the child for half a day.

It's not that he insists on separating their mother and daughter. One is that Yierha and Zalafen live a good life, so he really can't believe that he can't raise the children to them, and the other is that Honghui in the palace lost two children in a row, and when he usually saw Hongjing of the third uncle's family, he also heard him whisper that the early years of the Chengjun Wangfu were messy, and Hongjing's mother lost two children.

He really didn't dare to take any chances.

After knowing the Bolzin clan and that Gege's character in the future, he can rest assured, and he will hand over his daughter to them to raise. After all, girls still have to grow up with Eniang to learn well, and it's not easy to let the nurses and grandmothers teach him, what should I do if I learn the habit of being a slave?

The day the fourteenth master returned to Beijing was an auspicious day.

Although he didn't really fight with Galdan, the fourth master still wanted to blow this dispatch as a 'victory'. In private, the fourth master did take this opportunity to have a rehearsal for troop transfer and training. Hongyu said that the troops of several provinces were involved this time, and he guessed that the fourth master might want to find out.

When Kangxi was Ye, the fourth master never touched the soldiers, and he never touched the tiger talisman. After ascending the throne, he naturally wanted to find an opportunity to see the ability and loyalty of these generals.

It is not surprising that Galdan fought with Russia this time, why did the fourth master transfer his troops to the border.

The fourth master specially returned to the palace to meet the fourteenth, and then pulled everyone to the Old Summer Palace for a banquet. This is the first time that the fourth master used the Old Summer Palace to entertain guests, and everyone who can come in to participate feels quite honored.

When a banquet is held in the summer, it is natural to be cool in a place near the water.

He asked Li Wei if she wanted to take the opportunity to be lively, and she also told the truth that if he wanted to invite his female relatives and hold a bigger banquet, then she would be willing. If she can't do it or not, then she still doesn't want to toss.

The fourth master knew that she was not a lively person, so he didn't force her much. Let people take care of Wanfang Anhe, and don't let people accidentally break in.

After the banquet, the fourth master took the fourteenth to Changchun Garden to greet the Queen Mother. It is said that the mother and son had a pretty good chat.

In the evening, when the fourth master came back, he was a little drunk, his face was ruddy and good-looking, and his eyes were bright.

And when he saw her, he smiled, Su Peisheng opened the curtain, he walked in and went straight over to shake her hand, and led him to the back room. Su Peisheng saw this movement, and took everyone out with a look in his eyes.

Li Wei was taken inside by him before he reacted, and then he reacted that he hadn't taken a set of things to wash him in, which was similar to taking a towel facial cleanser and carrying a pot of hot water. The set he washed had two boxes and three trays, but there were five or six combs for those who combed his hair.

"Master, I'll have someone bring in the toiletries, right?" She looked at him amusedly, knowing that he was really drunk.

The fourth master is in a good mood, he is back today, and he looks at the person and is stable, and he can talk in front of the person, and he won't find him awkward in the future. If the fold is well written, it can be said that it was prepared by the master, and if it is good to answer in person, it means that this person has really been trained. He told him today that he was named Baylor this time, and when he would have a bad face because he was not the king of the county, who knew that Fourteen said to him: "The younger brother didn't do anything this time, but he ran a long way for Banzai, and there were people waiting for him along the way, and he didn't even fight a battle, it was this Baylor, and the younger brother also deserved it." ”

The fourth master really felt that he didn't fight a battle this time, and he even sealed this Baylor very reluctantly. I didn't expect Fourteen to think the same way, he was really pleased.

When I saw the Queen Mother, I didn't see Fourteen complaining about anything, and in front of the Queen Mother, he also said that he didn't have much credit this time, and he was very humble about this Baylor.

The Queen Mother also nodded and said: "I also think that you shouldn't get this Baylor, but your brother said that if you don't seal it, it will be even more difficult to give a reward to the lower head, so you can get this Baylor." In the future, you must do your best to make up for this time as soon as possible, and don't disappoint your brother. ”

The fourth master took Li Wei's hand and sighed: "My hard work, someone finally saw it." ”

The author has something to say: see you at nine
