Chapter 194: Digging a hole (Third update, please vote for me)
A group of people arrived at the school ground chatting and laughing.
A primary school student was smart and came forward to say hello to all of you.
Brother Jiu said: "Four targets, seven rings..."
The Eight Banners standard target at this time was called "Manchuria Bulldog" and was divided into five rings and seven rings.
The diameter of the swan is one foot and two inches. The seven-ring bull's-eye is smaller than the five-ring bull's-eye. The bull's-eye is red, with white and blue outside.
The Eight Banners bows and arrows are all practiced from the five-ring swan, and when the archery skills are perfect, it is changed to the seven-ring.
The primary school responded and went to prepare.
Qi Fujin looked at the barracks next to him, glanced at him with a charming look, pulled Shu Shu and muttered: "I wonder if our master is here?"
Shu Shu looked at her winking and didn't understand what was going on. She looked at Brother Jiu, and just when she was about to ask him to go over and take a look, there was movement in the barracks.
The seventh elder brother came out.
He walks a little slowly, but very steadily.
If you don't look carefully, you won't see any inconvenience.
If you look closely, you can see that his shoulders are slightly tilted.
Qi Fujin, with a smile on his face, had already stepped forward to greet him, and his voice was as sweet as honey: "Master..."
Brother Qi said to Qi Fujin with a straight face and a bit of patience: "Why are you here?"
Qi Fujin said with a smile: "Lao Jiu and the others are going to compete, and my siblings asked me to come over to be the referee..."
The seventh elder brother was noncommittal and looked at everyone.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu also greeted him.
The seventh elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother dressed up, frowned and said: "We are going to the siege tomorrow. If we don't want to recharge our batteries, what else can we compete with?"
The Manchu bow is different from ordinary bows and arrows. It requires a big saw and uses heavy arrows.
The bow is powerful and can break through armor, but it also takes a lot of effort.
Shu Shu listened and realized their negligence.
Thirteenth Brother is still a young man with limited strength. If he is tired today or accidentally strains his arm, he may not be really timid when holding a hunting bow tomorrow.
The tenth prince looks almost like an adult, but at this age, it is the same.
Brother Jiu said angrily: "I forgot about this...forget it, no more competition, just shoot a few arrows to see how you feel..."
Brother Thirteen said: "That's better than these few arrows. You don't have to shoot a pot full of arrows..."
Brother Ninth looked at him and said: "Are you still thinking about taking Brother Ninth? It seems like you are sure to win... don't think about it, what will happen if you lose..."
The Thirteenth Brother looked at the Tenth Brother in confusion and hesitated to speak.
The tenth elder brother rolled his eyes: "What? I can't hide my clumsiness and win something by cheating?"
Brother Thirteen shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like it. I guess Brother Ninth is still talking about Sister-in-law Ninth..."
Only then did he react: "Sister-in-law Ninth must be better than Brother Ninth..."
But even then...
Brother Ten can't beat himself, so in the end he will compete with Sister-in-law Ninth, haha...
Brother Thirteen was a little excited: "Just three arrows per person..."
By this time, Xiao Xiao had already led a few people to set up the swans.
Before a few people could pass by, several people came over from a distance.
It's Liang Jiugong here.
"Dear brothers and two Fujins, the emperor ordered his servants to bring this to give you a lucky draw..."
Liang Jiugong bowed and said, took a bow from the little eunuch behind him, looked around everyone, paused when he saw the seventh elder brother, and handed it to the ninth elder brother with both hands.
Brother Jiu looked at Gong, his face turned red, and he didn't reach out for a long time.
The tenth elder brother was standing by, took it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, I'd like to take a trip to Shuida, I'm in need of this..."
Liang Jiugong nodded, glanced at Brother Jiu, and left with the young eunuch.
Shu Shu stood beside the ninth elder brother and looked at the bow in the tenth elder brother's hand.
The bow body is seven and a half feet, wider than usual...
It's a seven-power bow...
Brother Jiu uses a three-power bow every day, but he can barely shoot a five-power bow...
When Kangxi gave this bow as a gift, he had already excluded the Ninth Prince in his heart.
Brother Thirteen was still young and had never thought of this, so he came over with great interest, his eyes sparkling: "Khan Ama is so kind, he even prepared this as a lottery for us..."
The tenth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said nothing.
Shu Shu couldn't bear to see Brother Jiu feel uncomfortable.
She took Brother Ninth Brother's hand and whispered: "Master, let's be a group... win this bow and leave it to Brother Ninth Brother..."
Brother Jiu turned his head, with surprise in his eyes.
The two of them said before that they would not win.
There is no need to be in the limelight.
Shu Shu said softly: "Every inch is short and every inch is strong. No one can be outstanding in everything. From now on, the thinking in our family belongs to me, and the hands-on work belongs to me..."
When Brother Jiu heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He suppressed his joy and said, "How about this?"
Shu Shu nodded: "Okay, what about a competition? Of course it's better to win..."
Life is only a few decades, and no one can guarantee that he will always be safe.
In an era when a cold wind can kill a person, what will happen tomorrow if there is no guarantee?
Instead of thinking about whether there will be a tragedy more than 20 years later, it is better to live well now.
If when Kangxi was in power, both of them, as princes and prince Fujin, would be useless, then even if they tried their best to avoid the big trap of the "Ba Ye Party", it would be just a new round of patience.
Brother Jiu made a lot of unbridled remarks today, and I really can’t say where he will go in the future.
Shu Shu felt that she could pamper Ninth Brother appropriately and didn't have to be restrained.
Brother Jiu has been convinced of his wife these days and doesn't think she can tell lies.
He nodded, raised Shu Shu's arm, and went to untie her lead bag. He was a little more energetic and his voice was high: "Then win! If you win, leave the bow to our eldest brother!"
The two couples were muttering before that it was not easy for others to look at them.
But everyone heard Brother Jiu's words.
Everyone looked at Shu Shu in unison, their eyes involuntarily aimed at her belly.
The seventh elder brother lowered his face and reprimanded the ninth elder brother: "This is nonsense! My younger brother and sister are pregnant and it's time to rest. Why are you so ignorant?"
The tenth brother also said: "That's right, that's right, ninth brother, please be more careful... This guy who draws the bow and shoots arrows, how can he stretch it..."
Brother Thirteen couldn't help but condemn: "Brother Ninth is too careless..."
Qi Fujin had already walked up to Shu Shu and held her arm with both hands, carefully, as if protecting a porcelain doll: "Be careful, be careful..."
Shu Shu was "pregnant" and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She hurriedly said: "No, no..."
Brother Jiu also crossed his arms and looked at his brothers with displeasure and said, "Am I such a shameless person? It seems that I abused Fujin..."
Even though he said this, everyone still didn't dare to let Shu Shu move easily.
Newlyweds, seeing the sky together, who knows whether they are pregnant or not.
If you are pregnant and the fetus is not firmly seated or stretched, it will be a serious problem.
The thirteenth elder brother handed the bow and arrow in his hand to the eunuch behind him and said happily: "No more competition, I will leave this bow to my eldest nephew..."
The tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother grew up together. Seeing that he was unhappy and uninterested before, he said on his face: "Yes, no more competition, no more competition, Khan Amma is the same, so he gave me a bow.
We will be surrounded tomorrow by the thirteenth ones, who will win? Is it better to leave it to the eldest nephew..."
The thirteenth elder brother and the tenth elder brother both had good intentions. Shu Shu lowered her eyes and wrote down their sympathy.
The seventh elder brother didn't say much, but acted decisively. He had already ordered people to remove the swans.
He also sent people to ask for the imperial physician.
When the imperial doctor came over with a medical box on his back, Shu Shu was extremely embarrassed.
She was careful.
No medicine or anything was used, but considering the safety period, I tried to get it outside as much as possible.
Even if Brother Jiu's body is fine, Shu Shu's own body has not grown well yet, and it is not the time for pregnancy and childbirth.
Hearing that he was diagnosing Shu Shu's pulse, the imperial doctor looked solemn on his face, but he was determined in his heart.
Brother Jiu's body is a secret everywhere, in Tai Hospital...
Everyone on the upper level knows...
After all, Brother Jiu is still drinking medicine to regulate his body morning and night.
If a happy pulse is diagnosed now, that is a good thing; if it cannot be diagnosed, it is also expected.
After the imperial physician finished diagnosing the pulse, he said after careful consideration: "There is nothing visible on the pulse pattern, maybe it's because the time is short... I wonder if Jiu Fujin has other symptoms..."
Shu Shu shook her head: "If there is no discomfort, it should be nothing if there is no pulse..."
As the prince Fujin, she was supposed to ask for Ping'an Pulse every ten days.
Because I am away from home and busy with my schedule every day, I haven’t had a pulse for 20 days.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Qi Fujin.
Seven blessings...
There seems to be something different...
My skin tone is better...
I am more addicted to sweets, and I eat meat even more fiercely than when I left Beijing...
It looks a bit like saving nutrients...
"Excuse me, the imperial doctor, to ask Qi Fujin for a pulse..."
Shu Shu stood up and gave up her seat, pulling Qi Fujin over to sit down.
Qi Fujin was stunned for a moment, and whispered to Shu Shu: "I just left a few days ago when I was young...Although there were fewer people than usual, I still came..."
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt more and more like it, so she pressed her shoulder and said, "You might as well take a look..."
Everyone looked at Qi Fujin and looked at her flat shoes.
Even the seventh elder brother was a little moved.
The imperial doctor took action, then looked at Qi Fujin's face and asked, "How is Qi Fujin's diet recently?"
Seeing him like this, Qifu Jin couldn't help but feel nervous. He thought about it seriously and said, "It's all good. Maybe it's because the weather has gotten colder, so I have a better appetite and I get hungry faster..."
The imperial doctor stood up and said: "Congratulations to Master Qi, congratulations to Qi Fujin. Qi Fujin has a slippery pulse, but the pulse is still shallow... These days, Qi Fujin should rest quietly, and wait until the end of the month for the minister to come and ask for a second pulse..."
Qi Fujin was already dumbfounded. After a while, he felt a little confused and helpless. He pulled Shu Shu and said, "Shu Shu, what did the doctor say? Did I misbehave..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Congratulations to Sister-in-law Seven, your wish has come true and you are pregnant..."
"Where is the sky, where is the sky..."
Qi Fujin was so surprised that she almost jumped up, but Shu Shu quickly held her shoulders down: "Please slow down..."
Qi Fujin looked at Brother Qi and grinned: "Master, I have it, I'm so awesome..."
The seventh elder brother nodded, his face turning red.
There’s no need to talk about this outside!
When Brother Jiu saw this, he suppressed the sourness in his heart, but when he saw Shu Shu's reaction and saw that there was no gloom on her face, and she looked genuinely happy for Qi Fujin, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother both congratulated the seventh elder brother.
The seventh prince's expression has returned to normal, and his eyebrows are lightened.
Although I have become an amma, my legitimate son is different after all.
After this episode, the competition matter came to nothing.
We were walking outside here, not far from the Eight Banners camp. The tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother went to the Eight Banners camp together.
Qi Fujin's eyes wanted to be glued to Brother Qi, and he stretched out his arms and said: "Master, hold on to me, in case I fall..."
The seventh elder brother frowned and reprimanded: "You said anything? How can you curse yourself..."
"I don't care, anyway, my legs are weak now and I need someone to support me..."
Qi Fujin said in a sweet voice.
Brother Seven took a breath and finally stepped forward to help him.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu followed behind and watched a great show.
Shu Shu is really happy for Qifu Jin.
Brother Ninth was silent for a long time.
Shu Shu noticed it and hooked Brother Gou Jiu's hand.
Brother Jiu looked over, looking a little sad.
"Didn't we agree that I have you, I have you, and the rest is up to chance, so don't be greedy..."
Shu Shu said softly.
Even if you worry about your children, you don’t need to worry about it now.
Wait until you can't give birth in ten or eight years.
Brother Jiu looked into Shu Shu's eyes, which were full of sincerity and could not see any falsehood.
His anxious heart also calmed down, and he nodded and said: "Well, I have you, I am not greedy..."
When Shu Shu returned to the yard, she remembered something and told the manager how to arrange the yard.
Brother Jiu's face darkened after hearing this.
Shu Shu called Sun Jin in: "How is the inquiry going? Who is he?"
Sun Jin glanced at Brother Ninth and said, "No one else. He comes from the Zuolingjin family of Gao Li. He is a cousin of Guo Luoluo's uncle and wife. He has been in charge of the office since the 31st year of Kangxi's reign..."
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu looked at each other.
They are actually relatives, so what's going on with this digging hole?
Just being attentive, not intentional?
"Anyway, I don't like their family style..."
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu complained.
Just as he was talking, He Yuzhu came in and said: "Sir, Jin Fusheng, the general manager here, wants to see you..."
"Pass it..."
Brother Jiu ordered impatiently.
A middle-aged man in his forties came in. He had a face with a Chinese character and looked a bit elegant. He was wearing patchwork clothes. When he came in, he hit Qian'er: "Slave Jin Fusheng has seen Jiu Ye, Jiu Fujin, give it to Jiu Ye,
Jiufujin greets you..."
Brother Jiu raised his hand and shouted, straight to the point: "I just want to tell you, now that I'm here, let me tell you what is going on in the yard? You are not the general manager in the first year, you should know how to prepare the yard.
…”
Jin Fusheng said hurriedly: "It's because my subordinates are ignorant. I originally ordered Master Jiu's yard to be tidied up and the window paper to be replaced... Unexpectedly, they took it upon themselves to tidy up the yard in front..."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's so simple. The servants just misunderstood what you meant?"
Jin Fusheng's expression was stiff and sweat broke out on his forehead: "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. It's the slave's negligence, and it's also the slave's fault..."
Brother Jiu remembered Shu Shu's previous guess, looked at Jin Fusheng and said, "Didn't you go say hello to Qi Ye and Qi Fujin?"
Jin Fusheng's face turned blue and he retorted: "They found out that the placement was wrong, so they took it upon themselves to make up for it..."
Brother Jiu stood up and looked at Jin Fusheng up and down with a bit of curiosity: "Since you are from the Jin family and can fill this job, you must have come from the Guo Luoluo family..."
Jin Fusheng became more and more respectful: "Yes, I got the advice from my in-laws, so I took up the job here..."
"Then tell me, how can you repay kindness with enmity and dig a hole for me..."
Brother Jiu sat back and asked seriously.
Jin Fusheng immediately knelt down: "I don't dare, I don't dare..."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "I remembered... You have to allocate repair costs every year. This is to show me power. I blame you for revealing this matter and making you bankrupt..."
