Chapter 1253: Thinking too much (wowling for guaranteed monthly ticket)
In the remaining paddock, the siege is also coming to an end.
Various deers croaked in the middle, and arrows flew randomly.
The third elder brother did not go on stage, but stood on a high ground on horseback and looked at the procession.
Seeing that the team was well organized and the hunting was well planned, the third elder brother looked for the thirteenth elder brother in the crowd.
The thirteenth prince is wearing a golden prince uniform and stands out among the crowd.
The third elder brother thought of the holy cavalry patrolling the Yongding River in a few days, so he ordered the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother to accompany him.
Fourth brother is just a serious person who works hard.
Nowadays, when Hedao is involved in a lawsuit, money and accounts are also involved, and the household department of Si Age is also closely involved.
But what about Thirteenth Brother?
I don’t know if I don’t want to, I’ll be frightened when I think about it.
From the summer of thirty-seventh year, when the thirteenth prince first accompanied the retinue, the next three years were spent without fail.
Whenever the emperor's father goes out, he will always take his thirteenth prince with him.
In the past, only he and the eldest brother were treated like this. Even the fourth and fifth brothers only followed him a lot of times, and they didn't say they had to follow him every time.
In the past two years, the third elder brother has not always been here. It is a bit like the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother, and they have begun to come here intermittently.
The third elder brother stuck out his tongue and licked the back teeth.
"Love the house and the bird"?
Not really.
Nowadays, the most favored concubines in the palace are He concubine and Wang Guiren, as well as Yifei, the old favorite concubine.
There are decent ones, including Concubine Hui.
A sensitive concubine is one who never loses her temper.
That's why the emperor's father is optimistic about the thirteenth brother's ability.
The Thirteenth Prince's civil and military skills are indeed outstanding, and even the Third Prince has heard about it.
The third elder brother became nervous.
The last elder brother who excelled in both civil and military studies was himself!
Isn't this kind of elder brother the most suitable candidate for political affairs?
The emperor's father changed his mind and planned to give the prince his thirteenth brother, so he took him with him to teach him?
The third elder brother felt that it was time for him to strive for success, and he could no longer live a comfortable life in Taichang Temple.
Next year, my thirteenth brother will be a man. He will be married, go to school and do errands. He will catch up with them if he wants to...

That night, there was a small banquet in the paddock. There was no royal family or ministers, only Kangxi and a few accompanying princes.
In addition to the throne, there is a double seat for the prince below.
The first ones on the east side are the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother, and the second ones are the eighth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.
The chief ones in the west are the fourth and fifth princes, and the second ones are the thirteenth and fourteenth princes.
The evening banquet includes whole deer banquet, roasted venison, pan-fried deer tongue, deer tendon and yam hot pot, braised tofu with deer blood, braised deer intestines, stir-fried deer liver, steamed deer lamb, etc.
Paired directly with it is deer blood wine.
Brother here, his eyes are glued to the wine bottle.
He has been drinking heavily in the past two years, not to mention three meals a day, which is about the same.
As a result, I have been drinking less during the past two days when I have been waiting in front of the emperor.
Yesterday I was on guard duty, so I wasn't allowed to drink.
Right now, he was craving for the deer blood wine, and the wine bug started to rise when he looked at the deer blood wine.
There was just a jug placed in front of one person. The jug was long and thin, and it looked like it only cost about two taels. What was this enough for?
He glanced at the wine bottle in front of Third Brother.
If you add the two pots together, you can satisfy your craving.
The third elder brother sitting next to him didn't realize that his bottle of wine was being missed, but he was looking at the thirteenth elder brother diagonally across the corner.
Compared with the disgusting Fourteenth Brother, the Thirteenth Brother really has no choice in appearance and behavior.
You can't suppress him, you still have to win him over and let him know how old he is.
Even if both of them give Donggong an arm, they still have to prioritize.
Naturally, my elder brother is the main one, and my thirteenth brother, my younger brother, is the second.
The thirteenth elder brother noticed the third elder brother's gaze and looked back.
When the third elder brother saw this, he raised his cup and smiled at the thirteenth elder brother.
When the thirteenth brother saw this, he also raised his cup, looking very respectful.
In fact, he was very dissatisfied. Among the brothers, the one he didn't like was the third elder brother. He really didn't act like an elder brother. He was also scheming, so he had to be careful.
It's just that he has a city, and he doesn't show any preference on his face.
The fourteenth elder brother was looking at Kangxi.
The emperor's father has a tall and straight figure, and has not yet started to grow a beard. He only has a short beard on his lips. He looks like he is in his forties, much younger than Prince Zhuang and Prince Xin.
Kangxi was also looking at his sons, and was attracted by the eyes of the fourteenth elder brother.
Kangxi raised his eyebrows, as if asking the fourteenth elder brother what happened.
The fourteenth elder brother thought for a while, picked up the wine bottle and stood up. When he arrived at the royal table, he said with a smile: "Son, will you pour wine for Khan Ama?"
Kangxi hummed softly and said: "I have nothing to do to show my courtesy, but I will not be able to drink enough of this wine!"
The fourteenth elder brother said very honestly: "Khan Ama, my son doesn't want to be surrounded by palms anymore. He is wasting his time and money, and he is not sure about his own archery. Can my son follow Khan Ama tomorrow? My son wants to watch Khan Ama hunt!"
"
Kangxi was very curious and asked: "Aren't you looking forward to your palm circumference? Why is it only one day enough?"
The fourteenth elder brother took it and complained: "Palm circumference is boring. My son is still young. He doesn't want to palm circumference anymore. He wants to learn archery from Khan Amma. In the future, he will shoot a fifteen-power bow like Khan Amma."
!”
Kangxi was in a good mood after listening to it, and his eyes were full of joy, and he said: "Be patient, practice every day and add half a barrel of arrows, lay the foundation well, and then talk about other things."
When he was young, he could indeed control the string of a fifteen-strength bow, but it was not long-lasting. He could only shoot three arrows at a time, and any more shots would miss the target.
When was that?
He glanced at his sons who were sitting, and his eyes fell on the table where the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were sitting.
Probably when he was as old as the fourth and fifth elder brothers.
Among the princes, only the eldest and the third can barely catch up with him, and a thirteenth brother will probably be added in the future.
Although the princes were not as good as their masters, they still had their own strengths and did not embarrass the Khan.
The fourteenth elder brother was pouring wine beside him and said: "Well, well, my son must be down-to-earth and lay a solid foundation. In the future, he will be the general king of Khan Ama and open up territory for Khan Ama!"
At present, the atmosphere of the Eight Banners is rotten, and the martial arts of the bannermen and clans is decreasing day by day. This is what Kangxi is worried about.
Seeing that his fourteenth elder brother had such ambition, Kangxi felt happy and praised: "Okay, I will wait and see that my general Wang is invincible."
Brother Fourteen is also secretly happy that he no longer has to look forward to growing up.
The imperial father is not short of sons who have grown up, but he is short of sons who have not grown up.
That's what the so-called "colorful clothes are for entertaining relatives" is, right?
Huh?
Brother Nine is so naive, is that intentional?

Beijing, Ninth Prince's Mansion.
"Ah sneeze!"
Brother Jiu was soaking his feet and sneezed heavily.
Seeing this, Shu Shu hurriedly handed him a towel and said, "Did you catch a cold?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "No, not in the mansion, in the Yamen, on the carriage, or outside."
Shu Shu felt uneasy after hearing this.
It was hot at home, in the yamen, and on the carriage. Even if I didn't go anywhere else, it would be hot and cold several times during the day.
Shu Shu arrived at the door, called Ging Guo and said: "Ask the kitchen to make two bowls of ginger tea, make it stronger."
Ginkgo went down to prepare.
Brother Jiu heard it in the room and said, "I'm fine, and I don't have any symptoms. Maybe it's someone who is talking about me."
Shu Shu said softly: "I just stayed with me. I stayed in the greenhouse with my ten brothers and sisters for a while at noon. I was sweating all over. I guess I blew it, and my temples are a little painful now."
In the morning, the two of us finished talking, had lunch, and then went to the greenhouse to pick vegetables and look at flowers.
There are several pots of camellias that are in bloom. Shu Shu asked people to bring them to Shi Fujin so that everyone can enjoy them tomorrow.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu quickly wiped his feet and reached out to touch Shu Shu's forehead.
Fortunately, there was no fever.
"Are there any other symptoms?"
Brother Jiu said with concern: "It's no joke to catch a cold from the wind!"
Shu Shu rubbed his neck and said, "There's something wrong, and my shoulders are a little sore."
Brother Jiu said: "You caught the wind. You were really careless. Doctor Lao Jiang has repeatedly told you that the seams in your bones are still open in the past six months. You must keep warm this winter."
Shu Shu's shoulders are indeed a little stiff, and the position around the shoulders is not very comfortable.
She leaned on the kang and said, "Don't you have plasters at home? I'll help me put on two pairs later."
Brother Jiu helped her rub her shoulders and asked, "Is it just the shoulders and neck? Does the waist hurt too?"
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "No, there is no wind collar on the neck. It is because of the wind, so there is no other problem."
Brother Jiu said: "Tomorrow, ask someone to bring Dr. Jiang over again. He will diagnose your pulse and prescribe two recipes."
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "If you can't spare the time tomorrow, let's do it the day after tomorrow. Let me take a look at it and let's make up for it together."
Thirty-nine nourishes one winter, and there will be no pain in the coming year.
Entering the ninth month to "replenish the winter" is also a normal health practice for Xungui.
There are still a few days before Jinjiu, so it's time to prepare.
Brother Jiu was rubbing his neck for her. Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning and complained: "Do you think Old Shi Fujin is stupid?"
Shu Shu turned her head, looked at him and said, "Why do you say that again? The tenth younger brother and sister are just more simple-minded, and I understand it in my heart."
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "What I'm talking about is not about her temperament, but about tomorrow's treat. You said that other people's treat are all legitimate reasons, such as weddings and funerals, the move-in of new children, etc. It's okay to hold a banquet."
You can make a lot of money by collecting contributions; what do you think she is after? She also holds a 'treasure appraisal meeting'. When others take a fancy to it, should they give it or not? Don't tell them if they don't receive the gift, but they will also pass it on.
What is this if not a big fool?"
Shu Shu said: "Sisters-in-law are all sensible, and there is no one who likes to take advantage."
It must be given as a gift.
It’s just that if you really see something new from Shifujin, who can take it for nothing?
They all come and go.
Brother Ninth Brother still disapproved and said: "Old Ten is not at home. It is a time when more things to do are worse than less things to do, so we cannot live in peace."
Shu Shu couldn't stand listening any more, so she pinched Brother Jiu's waist and said: "According to what I said, if you are not in Beijing in the future, I will have to lock the door and close the door. I can't entertain guests, either.
Can’t go out?”
Brother Jiu grabbed her hand and said: "You are different from her. You won't insist on treating me even if it's nothing, and you will give such an unusual reason for treating me."
Shu Shu felt her head hurt and said, "I really don't think it's appropriate? It's just the girls getting together to have a meal, and there's no one else..."
Brother Jiu said softly: "We know that Old Shi Fujin has no other intentions, but what do others think..."
