"Third Master, you see that these children have come to urge you. The stewards at the granary must be waiting impatiently. Why don't you let the wolf dogs and Mongolian cattle take the wheat there to dry and thresh first?"
His family knew about his family affairs, and now that his daughter was still young, it was hard to say what would happen in the future. Li Fumin did not want these noble people to pay too much attention to the little boy he had adopted, so he smiled and bowed his hands and said politely.
"Okay, then let them pass first."
Li Fumin's voice interrupted Kangxi's thoughts. He also knew that the wheat harvesting task was heavy and time was tight. There were still many wheat sheaves to be transported in the fields. He couldn't waste any more time here, so he waved his hand and said.
"Ama, Ama, I also want to go and have a look."
Yin Xiaozhen and Haha had just met and hadn't been together for long, and they really didn't want to part ways, so as soon as his mother finished speaking, Xiaosi immediately ran to Kangxi and stretched out her little hand to grab the collar of his azurite round-neck robe.
Hem, raised his little head and said expectantly.
"Go, Yaya, I want to go!"
When Xiao Kejing heard Siwa's brother's words, she immediately patted Kangxi's arm that was holding her and said in a sweet voice.
Although Xiao Yinzhi did not speak, his little body had already spontaneously and honestly stood side by side with Yinzhi Zhen. At this moment, he also raised his little head and looked at Kangxi eagerly.
Even the two older children, Yinfeng and Yinti, looked eager to try.
Kangxi attached great importance to farming. Now that his children are still young, they naturally cannot go to the fields with him, but letting them go to the granary to see with their own eyes the hard work of farmers removing wheat grains can also let the brothers and sisters know that "crops" have become "crops".
How difficult is this process of "eating food"? In the future, it will not grow into that stupid, embarrassing and wasteful thing of "why not eat minced meat".
Kangxi thought to himself that this was a good thing, so he nodded in agreement. He turned around and handed the little daughter in his arms to He Zhuer, who was standing next to Liang Jiugong, and told him carefully:
"He Zhu'er, go and watch them carefully. Don't let them run around."
"Yes, I will go right away."
He Zhuer quickly and carefully stretched out his hand to hold the one-and-a-half-year-old Princess Kejing in his arms.
"Uncle Li, then I will take the little boss and the others there first."
The little boy also understood what his boss meant. He waved to Li Fumin lively, puffed up his cheeks, blew a loud whistle three times, and then ran ahead to lead the way.
As soon as the whistle sounded, everyone saw the little animals pulling up the cart behind them, lining up vertically in a row, spreading their legs and running forward.
"So this whistle is the signal to set off?"
When Yinti saw this, he touched his chin and said to himself.
"Brother, stop talking now. You reach out and grab Sanwa and Gu and Xiaosi. Let's catch up quickly, or they will disappear in a while."
Yinreng stretched out his hand and patted Yinti's arm and urged.
"Yes!"
Yinzhi also came to his senses in an instant and quickly picked up the little Yinzhi beside him and ran forward to catch up.
"He Zhu'er, hurry up and follow me!"
After holding onto Yin Xiaozhen, the little prince did not forget to turn around and look at his fourth sister, and shouted loudly to He Zhuer.
He Zhuer also nodded quickly, hugged the little princess tightly in his arms, and took off to catch up with the four noble brothers in front of him.
"Third Master, the peasants will go back to the fields to continue bundling the wheat sheaves."
Seeing that Li Fumin obviously had nothing to do here, he was ready to give up and resign.
"Don't worry, let him join the team of promoting persimmons and peppers in the future."
Kangxi turned his head and gave instructions to the steward standing beside him.
"Yes!"
The steward smiled and nodded, but he still felt a little regretful in his heart. He understood that Li Laoer had really caught the eye of his employer this time! He has a bright future in the future...
"Caomin, thank you, Third Master!"
When Li Fumin heard Kangxi's words, his eyes lit up instantly. He knew that he had finally gained a foothold in Zhuangzi, and he leaned over and said excitedly.
"Hahahahaha, do your best! I will never let down hard-working and capable people!"
Kangxi raised his hand to support him, glanced at Li Fumin with admiration, and then took Qingyan and Liang Jiugong to the granary...
Kangxi was in a very good mood, and several children were also cheering for joy. The group really had a lot of fun in the imperial village. It was not until three o'clock in the morning, when the sun set in the west and dusk was approaching, that the group set off on their way back.
None of the children took a lunch break today, and spent too much energy in the afternoon. By this point, they all felt a little tired.
The little prince and elder brother were doing better. Even if they yawned occasionally, they could still hold the reins in their hands and ride the pony next to the carriage. However, the other three younger children were all sleeping in the carriage.
Started to snore lightly.
Qingyan held the sleeping Xiaosi and sat on the seat near the left window. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Kangxi beside her, sitting with his legs spread like a sword and a golden horse. Xiao Yinzhi and Xiao Kejing now looked like
They were obedient little kittens, each occupying one of their thighs. They lay obediently in their Khan's arms and slept soundly. Kangxi also naturally stretched out his two long arms to hug his children, giving them a kind of fatherly look.
Feeling reliable.
There was silence in the carriage. Kangxi closed his eyes lightly and turned the jade finger on his hand, obviously thinking deeply. Qingyan stretched out her slender white right hand to cover her mouth and yawned, then she muttered something unknown in her arms.
The son who was talking in his sleep hugged him, patted his back gently, and prepared to close his eyes and rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, Kangxi suddenly spoke:
"Yan'er, why did Yinzhi come with you today?"
After Kangxi had thoroughly figured out the matter of his "son-in-law", he opened his eyes and looked down to see his third son, who was almost sleeping on his left lap. He thought of the abnormality that Yinzhi inadvertently revealed today.
He turned around and asked little Hershey in a low voice, confused.
Qingyan opened her eyes after hearing the sound and glanced at Yinzhi, who had half of her face exposed. She felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. If she said that Yinzhi was running away from home, wouldn't it be obvious?
Are you talking about the big conflict between Rongbi and her son?
Moreover, she and Zhong Cuigong have always been in harmony with each other, adhering to the idea that doing more is worse than doing less. Qingyan felt that it was best for Kangxi to send someone to check this matter himself, and what he said from his own mouth, It's inevitable that I feel like I'm smearing Ma Jiashi.
Thinking of this, she shook her head and said:
"Actually, I don't know the specific reason. Yinzhi and Xiaosi came to Chuxiu Palace together after school today. I thought he was a guest. While eating, I heard Xiaosi say that he gave Yinzhi
After talking a lot about Moo Moo and Ha Ha, Yinzhi said that he also wanted to see the small animals in the palace, so when He Zhuer came over, Chen Concubine took the two brothers to Xihua Gate.
.”
When Kangxi heard this explanation, he nodded thoughtfully and prepared to ask Liang Jiugong to go back and check before talking.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the carriage finally stopped at Xihua Gate. When a group of people got off their horses one after another, they inadvertently raised their heads and realized that the brilliant orange sunset was already covering their heads.
Kangxi led a large group of people walking eastward along the palace road. When they reached Cining Gate, he turned around and said to everyone:
"You all should go back to the palace first. I will go over and pay my respects to Madam Huang."
"Liang Jiugong, you will personally send Yinzhi and Baoqing to Zhongcuigong and Nansansuo later."
"My slave obeys the order." Liang Jiugong hugged the sleeping third elder brother and hurriedly leaned over slightly.
After everyone had seen off the emperor and saw Kangxi crossing the threshold and striding into Cining Gate, they continued walking forward together.
As soon as Kangxi entered the hall of the main hall of Cining Palace, he saw the Empress Dowager leaning on the soft couch covered with cool mats and reading the Buddhist scriptures in her hands. It was like the deep sea, giving people a sense of calmness and restrained stability.
"My grandson has met Madam Huang."
Kangxi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted.
"The Ai family doesn't know that the emperor is so happy after going to Zhuangzi for an afternoon?"
When the Empress Dowager heard the voice of her sweet grandson, she turned around and saw Kangxi standing on the ground, his whole body full of joy. It was quite rare for him to look like this, and she couldn't help but joked in a funny way.
"Mother Huang doesn't know something, but I really encountered a very interesting thing on Zhuangzi today, which brought me a lot of inspiration."
Kangxi saw that the Empress Dowager put the Buddhist scriptures on the small huanghuali wood table aside and was about to stand up on the soft couch. Then he waved away the palace maid who was waiting on the side and walked up to help her up. The old man smiled.
said.
"What inspiration?"
The Queen Mother felt a little sore in her back after sitting for a long time. Now, after being supported by her grandson and walking a few steps on the ground, she felt a little more relaxed, so she couldn't help but become more interested and asked curiously.
"Mother Huang, I plan to ask Mongolia to send some little boys of noble birth to be raised in the capital, and then I will study with Baoqing and the others."
"What?"
The Empress Dowager was already very surprised when she heard from her grandson that Mongolia had to take the initiative to give him away. Now when she heard that she was even asked to give him away to a powerful family, the little boy turned her head and looked at Kangxi in disbelief.
"What do you mean?"
The Empress Dowager could not help but frown.
"Royal Mammy, I'm going to give Fulana, Mo Yaqi and the others a 'child husband', which means I'm going to give you a 'great-grandson-in-law'."
"I haven't thought about this candidate at the moment, so I decided to cast a wide net and train more people. In the future, I will select the best from the best and select the most suitable forehead brother-in-law."
Kangxi couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose and directly stated his purpose.
At this time, the Queen Mother was completely stunned. She couldn't help but raise her wrinkled hand and touched her grandson's forehead and murmured:
"Xuan Ye, you don't have any fever at all. Why are you so stimulated just after leaving the palace, and why are you talking nonsense?"
Kangxi: "..."
The Empress Dowager really didn't understand this. In her whole life, she had never heard that the emperor wanted to raise a son-in-law for his daughter.
Most of the common people had no choice but to raise a son-in-law because they did not have a worthy man in the family. How could the royal family do this?
Moreover, those Mongolian princes were asked to send their biological sons to the palace. There was no suitable reason, but it didn't look good on the face, and people also complained in their hearts.
"Mother Huang, my grandson is doing this to better implement the Manchu-Mongolia marriage policy."
Kangxi had already anticipated the Empress Dowager's reaction when he was on the road, and explained to her calmly at this moment:
"The Aixinjueluo clan has sent princesses and clan princesses to Mongolia for several generations. We have all seen the results. The woman took the initiative and the marriage was obviously not effective enough."
"So I thought it would be better to change the way of thinking from this generation onwards, and let Mongolia send all the outstanding and potential princes-in-law over, and I would provide them with food, drink, housing, and give them lectures from great scholars.
, In this case, I can also get along with the prospective sons-in-law more, cultivate the relationship between them in advance, and wait until they and the princess grow up before granting another marriage. In this way, if the man takes the initiative, perhaps the marriage effect will be better."
When the Empress Dowager saw Kangxi's confident expression, she felt that she really didn't know what to say.
The emperor has elevated this to the level of "Manchu-Mongolia marriage". Even if the Mongolian princes and princes are unwilling to send male members of their families to the capital, the emperor has also said that he will give it to the princesses.
Damn it, these candidates basically have to be the heirs of the next generation of each family. If the Mongolian side gets the news, I'm afraid they will be so angry that they will jump away!
"Huang Mama, you also know that your influence in Monan Mongolia is much greater than mine. Although I am an emperor, my seniority is still very small there. Alas, so I think this matter is still important.
I have to trouble you, old man, and put more effort into selecting some outstanding little boys. Then you will be able to see your great-grandson-in-law directly, how wonderful it is!"
When the Empress Dowager heard Kangxi's words, she couldn't help but look at her grandson up and down. She couldn't imagine why the emperor was getting longer and crooked. She would do anything to deceive her grandma, so she reached out her hand and patted her grandson angrily.
She touched his arm and stretched out her hand to pull his hand off, but Kangxi looked like a dog-skin plaster with a playful smile and couldn't shake it away.
Kangxi didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior at all, and he would only show such a look when he was with his own royal mammy.
After finishing his request in a concise way, Kangxi helped the Empress Dowager to sit on the soft couch, picked up the teapot on the table, poured her a cup of tea and put it in her hand, and his tone became serious.
stand up:
"Mother Huang, I have considered this matter carefully. You also know that the fundamental purpose of the Manchu-Mongolian marriage is to win over Mongolia and stabilize the Qing's leadership over Mongolia."
"My sons-in-law will not only be the princes-in-law of the Qing Dynasty, but will also inherit the titles of their fathers and take charge of their respective tribes. You said that if they receive our education and study our books when they grow up, they will
Will your heart turn towards the Qing Dynasty later? Besides, they all grew up under my eyes. Do you think they will still dare to secretly bully the princess in the future?"
Kangxi stretched out his fingers and tapped the huanghuali wood tabletop, and his tone became colder and colder.
The Empress Dowager picked up the cup at her hand and lowered her head to take a sip of tea. She didn't say anything for a long time. Her consort's bullying of the princesses was basically done openly.
Logically speaking, the princess is the king and the concubine is the minister, but the vast majority of the princesses who get married are beautiful and unlucky. Some concubines will remarry soon after losing their wives, and privately they are concubines and concubines.
There are a lot of them, all of which are obviously trying to make the royal family look bad.
But to put it bluntly, the current strength of the Qing Dynasty is still not able to deter Mongolia and can only rely on in-law relationships to win over Mongolia. Mongolia’s power is not small and the cavalry is fierce and powerful. In addition, there is the Rakshasa Kingdom to the north.
, even if the royal family felt aggrieved about the marriage, they had to endure it. Now that there are new ideas, why not give it a try?
In short, it is all for the better implementation of the "Manchu-Mongolian marriage". The princess married to Mongolia but stayed on that prairie for the rest of her life. Why can't the prospective consorts spend more than ten years to come to Mongolia?
You are studying in the capital. Even the emperor has allowed you to study with the prince. He has raised you as half a son. How can this not be regarded as a grace?
"The Ai family will ask Su Ma to carefully check whether there are any young Batulus in Mongolia who have good backgrounds and are of the right age. The Ai family can also take advantage of the fact that their arms and legs can still move and their minds are clear to look for more high-quality ones.
The prospective great-granddaughter-in-law, it can be regarded as a great contribution to the great-granddaughters as a mother of Ukuma."
After the Empress Dowager figured it out, she said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Madam Huang!" Kangxi's eyes lit up immediately, and he laughed loudly with joy.
