Chapter 1464 Afterglow (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
Gao Yanzhong is very confused.
The retinue suffered several disasters, and it was not uncommon for someone to fall ill during the trip.
The previous treatment results were to recuperate on the spot and just settle in a post station or palace along the way.
This time, we have to turn back to the capital, and the weather is like this again, and we have to travel more than a thousand miles.
Not to mention a patient, even a good person would be exhausted after returning to Beijing in one breath.
The corresponding logistics require thorough preparation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Seeing the arrival of Fourth Brother, Guarcha had finished asking questions and left.
Fourth elder brother talked about sending the female family members back to Beijing.
After hearing this, Gao Yanzhong did some calculations in his mind and said: "We can take out two stove masters, two rough eunuchs to follow back to the capital, two carts of rice and flour ingredients, and one cart of charcoal..."
The fourth elder brother said: "It is better to take the lead in front of the emperor, others can make it easier."
Even so, Gao Yanzhong did not dare to neglect it.
Gege from Yuqing Palace and the Prince's Mansion is also a serious master and is not to be neglected.
Gao Yanzhong said: "At least ten days of supplies must be prepared. When we get to Rehe, we will build a palace there this year and prepare a lot of food for supplies."
Brother Si nodded and said: "That's good. I still have the charcoal I brought earlier. Seeing that it is not enough, I can also send a message to the capital and send some over to save the time."
In today's weather, there is no need to use a charcoal basin during the day, but it is necessary to keep warm in the tent at night.
Gao Yanzhong bowed and said, "I sent a message yesterday asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send another ten loads of charcoal."
The fourth elder brother was relieved now. Because of the charcoal basin, he thought of Prince Pingyao and said, "When the time comes, charcoal basins will be used everywhere. Please give me some instructions to be careful of the charcoal poison."
Gao Yanzhong agreed.
After the fourth elder brother finished giving instructions, he left.
Gao Yanzhong walked outside the tent, watched Si Age go away, then took the teapot, poured a cup of ginger tea, and drank it.
He was also in his fifties, and when he saw what happened to Fei Yanggu, he felt a little scared.
Although Brother Ninth was considerate and assigned him such errands every time, I have to say that it was really hard to go out this time.
Not to mention the fatigue of traveling and riding, my spirit is still tense, and I have to worry about all kinds of chores every day.
Gao Yanzhong actually felt that time was waiting for him.
If only he were ten years younger...

A rainy day is a day to sleep.
The continuous summer rain dissipated the heat.
There was no ice basin in Shushu's cool room for several days.
Today too.
Because it keeps raining, the children have not been sent to the main courtyard these days.
I felt comfortable and took a nice nap.
The sound of rain made her sleep more sweetly.
When I woke up, it was already the second half of the day.
Shu Shu looked at the weather outside. Looking at it, Gyeonggi Province could not really prevent autumn floods.
The terrain of Baiwang Mountain is high and there will be no water accumulation. However, when the weather clears up in a few days, the potatoes will start to grow. Otherwise, they will probably rot if it rains continuously.
Daxing’s watermelons and melons, the latter ones probably don’t taste good.
However, this year Daxing Zhuangzi only planted about 100 acres of watermelon and cantaloupe, and the rest was planted with peanuts and a few acres of sunflowers.
Ji Hong bought the sunflower seeds from Jiangnan and planted them in the first year.
Nowadays, sunflowers are still regarded as flowers and are grown sporadically in the south.
As for the melon seeds that everyone eats, they are pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seeds.
As for peanuts, I started planting them in the greenhouse of the Prince's Mansion the year before last, and then started planting them in Zhuangzi last year. Over the past two years, I have accumulated a lot of peanuts to make seeds. This year, I planted 200 acres at once. Unexpectedly, there was a drought in the spring, and now there is waterlogging.
This is relying on God to make a living.
This is still Zhuangzi in the name of a powerful person, and he does not expect to make a living through this. As for ordinary people, who can bear this year of drought and flood.
Shu Shu was thinking about it when there was movement outside.
Brother Nine is back.
Shu Shu went outside.
Brother Ninth simply freshened up and sat down to drink tea.
It has been rainy and humid these past few days, so the main room has prepared red bean and barley tea to remove dampness.
Brother Jiu drank two glasses of wine and felt a little relieved. He said to Shu Shu: "It's really strange. In this twilight weather, I see someone wearing a vest!"
Shu Shu said: "Ah Mou also changed into silk clothes."
Otherwise, you should wear gauze or Luo Yi.
Brother Jiu thought of the mud in Nancheng in the summer and said: "Last year Khan Amma asked people to repair the roads in Nancheng. I don't know what's going on now..."
Anyway, before the road was built, people in the inner city knew the lesson, that is, in rainy and snowy weather, avoid going to Nancheng to avoid having to walk out covered in mud.
Shu Shu said: "Where is the road to the imperial city?"
Brother Jiu said proudly: "It goes without saying that it is much more orderly than in previous years. You are not afraid of traffic jams when walking by carriage. It is very tough. It's a pity that Khan Ama can't see it."
If you meet him, shouldn't you praise him?
Shu Shu said: "The road to the south city should be improved like the imperial city."
Brother Jiu thought about it and let it go.
Shu Shu said something about potatoes being afraid of waterlogging. Brother Jiu felt a little worried after hearing this, and said, "I was planning to start cooking pots this autumn and winter. It won't be delayed, right?"
Shu Shu said: "Then just keep it for planting. It won't matter if you delay it for a year."
That is soju, which is not a necessity in the current situation where food and clothing are not yet common.
Brother Jiu said helplessly: "If the potato production is reduced, that's all we can do."
By the next day, although the sky was overcast, the rain stopped for a long time.
Shu Shu sent people to Haidian and Daxing. Here in Haidian, they harvested potatoes according to the time, while in Daxing they took some measures to prevent waterlogging, draining water and topdressing fertilizers.
Too much rain will not only soak the rotten roots, but also prevent the loss of base fertilizer.
Once the arrangements are made, Shu Shu won't worry about it anymore.
The ninth elder brother went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yesterday, Gao Yanzhong's letter arrived. Today, the ninth elder brother will arrange a supply team.
In the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the ninth elder brother had just arranged for people to deliver charcoal to the holy team, and the fifth elder brother came over.
"Fei Yanggu was seriously ill, and Khan Ama ordered Guarcha to send him back!"
Fifth elder brother said.
There are too many people named Fei Yanggu in the Eight Banners, but there is only one who is in front of the imperial court and can be sent back to the capital by the minister of bodyguards.
The patriarch of Dong E's family in Zhengbai Banner, he is a first-class public expense.
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "This...this...isn't a sign at all..."
When the holy cavalry set off from Changchun Garden on May 30th, Brother Jiu went to see him off and met Fei Yanggu, who seemed fine at the time.
Because Brother Jiu was the son-in-law of Dong E's family, Fei Yanggu even said a few more words to him.
Although they separated their flags and became two clans, the afterglow of the Dong E family still lies with Peng Chun and Fei Yanggu.
The former has died of illness, and if the latter is gone, Dong E's family will be downgraded.
The remaining Qixi and Garli are all side branches, have no military merit, and their titles are not high.
The heirs to the two princely houses are both young and have no qualifications.
The fifth elder brother said: "The eldest brother and the third brother will go to Bahrain to pay homage to the eldest princess and then return to Beijing. They should be preparing for that."
Brother Jiu sighed and said, "Is it because I joined the army in my early years and my body was ruined, so I became sick like a mountain? It sounds really scary."
The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Maybe that's the case, Lord Feiyangub is several years younger than Bu..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu thought of Zhang Baozhu.
Seventy years is rare in life, but if you really want to talk about it, there are still a few people who can survive until the age of seventy.
Buyanu is in his sixties. If anything happens, Zhang Baozhuo will ask Ding You.
It is still necessary to keep an eye on the selection of doctors and chief officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so as not to be caught off guard.
He had previously been interested in Dong Dianbang. In that case, he would have to pay attention to the candidates among the accountants.
The fifth elder brother had no idea that the ninth elder brother had "prepared for a rainy day" to this extent. He only said: "The news will spread in a few days. Then you can send someone to tell Mr. Qi, so as not to worry if you don't know the details."
Fei Yanggu looks like there's no need to worry, just prepare for the funeral.
In ordinary Banner families, old people after fifty have to prepare for their longevity, but that is only when they are in poor health or have other illnesses.
Otherwise, you would have to wait until your sixtieth birthday to prepare the supplies for your birthday.
Just like here in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this year the Construction Department has an errand to use good golden nanmu materials to prepare materials for the Queen Mother's birthday.
Fei Yanggu is fifty-seven this year. He does not have any other ailments on weekdays, nor does he prepare anything for his longevity.
Now the government should also start to make preparations, so as not to be in a hurry and not have the right one.
Brother Jiu said: "Then I will go to Dutong Mansion later."
The fifth elder brother thought of the bunch of boys in Dong E's family and said: "Didn't you say that you have a brother-in-law who is preparing to take the Eight Banners Imperial Examination? How about that? If it doesn't work, just remember to take the written test of the Ministry of Education directly. The Lifan Academy will have to make up for it next year.
Criticism and post style.”
Brother Jiu said: "Don't worry, wait until you take the provincial examination next year. I'm only fifteen this year, and I won't become a male until next year."
The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Well, let's see if it can be pulled or pulled, and it won't cost anything. My brothers and sisters have worked hard in the past few years."
The ninth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother and said, "The fifth elder brother understands the world?"
The fifth elder brother said: "Of course, do you need to say this?"
Brother Ninth asked in confusion: "Why didn't Fifth Brother mention those brothers of Fifth Sister-in-law?"
The fifth elder brother waved his hand and said: "It's different. The older ones are all her cousins. Her biological brother is still young. In two years, I will send him to the Imperial College to study."
Brother Ninth thought about the situation at Zhang Baozhu's house and praised: "Brother Five is right, we treat it as a matter of distance."
It can only be said that Mrs. Buyanu is a big fool.
I have a new son-in-law, a prince, and I don’t know how to support my second son’s family. I want to suppress him, so I deserve not to be honored.
This is the short-sightedness of the women in the inner house, thinking that by suppressing the second bedroom, they can replace the second bedroom with the big one and enjoy the glory of Wubeile House.
But even if Wu Fujin is a steamed bun, Fifth Brother is not a steamed bun either.
He just has a good temper, not a fool.
When the fifth elder brother returned to Nan Study, the ninth elder brother sent someone to the Zongren Mansion, told the tenth elder brother to go home, and then went to Dutong Mansion.
Halfway through, it started to rain again. Sitting on the carriage, Brother Jiu gave up the idea of going around Xisi Fourth Street to buy things and went straight to Dutong Mansion.
Qi Xi and his wife were at home with Zhu Liang.
After receiving the news of Brother Jiu's arrival, Qi Xi brought Zhuliang out to welcome him...
