Guidan accompanied the twelfth elder brother over, pointed to the yurt in front of him and said: "This is the yurt. All the herdsmen in Mongolia live here. Only the residence of Prince Taiji built a house. I heard that there were no flags in the past.
At that time, even the princes lived here..."
Brother Twelve got off his horse and walked into the yurt.
At the foot of the vast mountain, the white felt bags make people feel cheerful.
Guidan was here yesterday. After watching the excitement for a long time, he talked about the wrestling and archery of the guards.
"Both the Fifth Master and the Ninth Master have a Mongolian assistant leader. The Mongolians are loyal and easy to use, and they have many reinforcements. If you want to hire someone temporarily, just tell the Ninth Master..."
Guidan knew that the ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother had a good relationship, so he suggested.
Brother Twelve listened and said, "Brother Ninth said there are still people singing?"
Gui Dan said: "Well, it happened to be the assistant leader of the population under Jiuye's name. I found it this time. Fujin also liked to hear it and asked people to reward it several times."
The twelfth elder brother pointed to the open space to the left and right of the yurt and said: "Isn't this... sister-in-law Jiu's dowry farm? I heard that they grow vegetables and grains, but why is there still such a big space vacant?"
Guidan didn't know the reason and looked at Zhuangtou next to him.
Zhuangtou said: "The land here has been expanded, and there is insufficient manpower. The previous fields are enough for planting, and the orchard is on the other side. Fujin didn't think about what he planned to do before, so he left it empty."
Now the yurts have been installed and turned into a small camp, which looks harmonious.
Shu Shu told Zhuangtou that the camp here would be kept.
When Guidan heard this, he remembered the reason and pointed to the hill behind the yurt and said: "This hill was originally owned by two families. A small half of it is on the Fujin Zhuangzi side, a large half is under the name of Prince Kang's Mansion, and the back part seems to be on the Prince's Mansion of Zhuangzi.
Someone went up the mountain and accidentally damaged the pavilion on the top of the mountain. Prince Kang felt it was inappropriate and replaced it with Master Jiu. The top of the mountain is now under the name of Fujin."
"This village is so big. How many acres are there in total?"
The twelfth elder brother asked the village head.
Zhuangtou said: "The land deed says it is 2,840 acres. In fact, it is more than that. There is more forest land. It is estimated to be two or three hundred acres more."
Guidan clicked his tongue and said: "No wonder it is in such good shape, it is equivalent to several imperial mansions..."
For the imperial estates under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, each imperial estate has about 1,000 to 1,200 acres of land, and the half estate has 500 to 600 acres of land.
Zhuangtou didn't answer.
The profit of this village is not small, but the consumption is also huge.
He raises dozens of cattle and has his own mill.
There was also a large population of tenant farmers.
The manpower for raising pigs, chickens, etc. is also fully arranged.
The twelfth elder brother lowered his eyes.
I don’t know if this time out of the palace, he will share the imperial palace with his Thirteenth Prince.
If the imperial village in Gyeonggi Province could be divided, he would also like to free up a place like this, so that many nuns would come out to relax.
But grandma’s age…
The twelfth elder brother knows that time waits for no one.
Instead of hoping for the inevitable, it is better to be shameless and borrow the light of Brother Ninth and Sister-in-law Ninth.
He said nothing else and returned to Haidian with Gui Dan.
It's just that he didn't go back to the Fifth Institute first, but went to Changchun Garden to see him.
In Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi had finished handling government affairs and was thinking about whether to ask someone to pick up his concubine and accompany him.
Although the concubine is now a concubine and lives in the main hall of Chengqian Palace, she is not a concubine after all.
It would be great if he and his concubine could meet happily again, and then she would be named concubine.
That is his twenty-one elder brother.
Kangxi was a little surprised when he heard that the twelfth elder brother had invited him to see him.
"Pass it..."
Kangxi ordered.
Liang Jiugong responded and brought in his twelfth brother.
Kangxi thought about the Ministry of Internal Affairs and didn't hear anything happened.
Ding Zaobao came to Haidian on duty every other day.
If it’s not about the Yamen affairs, then what is it for?
There has always been a cold relationship between father and son, and the number of days they see each other throughout the year does not exceed the number of palms.
The twelfth elder brother greeted me and told me his intention.
"Khan Ama, my son wants to borrow Brother Ninth Brother's Zhuangzi, please come out and relax..."
The twelfth elder brother raised his head and said.
After Kangxi heard this, he looked at his twelfth elder brother with a sneer on his face and said, "You are well informed in the palace!"
The twelfth elder brother was stunned and looked at Kangxi, but did not explain anything.
Seeing his expression, Kangxi realized that he had misunderstood, thinking that Brother Jiu would return to the city today.
This should have been brought on by Brother Jiu to show off.
The twelfth elder brother also woke up and pursed his lips, showing no intention of defending himself.
It seems that he is "well-informed" by default.
Seeing his dull expression, Kangxi felt even more heartbroken.
I have loved to put on this show since I was a child. At such a young age, I have no sadness or joy.
Could it be that I have wronged him by pointing out his adoptive mother?
Aunt Su Ma is a palace person, but she is not an ordinary palace person.
That is the person who has been with the Empress Dowager all her life, the person who taught Mongolian Mandarin and Mongolian to Emperor Shizu and himself.
The people in the palace were snobbish and made irresponsible remarks about Aunt Su Ma's status.
It would be ridiculous if Brother Twelve felt sorry for himself because of this.
It was said that he was given to Aunt Su Ma to raise, but Aunt Su Ma was already in her seventies at the time.
The twelfth elder brother is still surrounded by wet nurses, nannies and others like other princes, and his daily supply is no worse than that of other princes.
Kangxi had previously thought that his twelfth elder brother had resentment towards him as Khan Amma, so he became displeased with him.
But looking over the past few years, it doesn’t look like that’s the reason.
If he really wanted to get angry over this matter, the twelfth elder brother would not be so filial to Aunt Suma.
This child, probably because he was raised in a Buddhist temple since childhood, is a bit indifferent, cold on the outside and cold on the inside, and is not close to anyone.
When he was in the study, he was only slightly close to Brother Eleven.
Later, the eleventh elder brother died, and he was alone.
Cheng Ding has been on duty for several years, and now he only has contact with Brother Jiu.
Among the princes, the twelfth prince is the only one who is so unique.
Kangxi looked at the twelfth elder brother and became a little tolerant, saying: "I just read the pulse record of my grandmother yesterday. I was coughing and couldn't sleep at night. It's good to go out and relax. It's just that she is here at this age.
It’s time to follow your heart, whether you can come out or not depends on your own wishes.”
The twelfth elder brother hurriedly said: "Well, my son will come according to grandma's wishes. If grandma is impatient, she will not leave the palace."
Father and son were speechless. The twelfth elder brother was also anxious to return to the city, so he directly apologized.
Kangxi glanced at the clock, it was almost time for dinner.
If it were the ninth elder brother, he would probably have to worry about having dinner before going out.
But the twelfth elder brother...
Forget it.
With the twelfth elder brother acting like a fool without any problem, I felt really distressed when I saw him.
Grandma is such a smart and kind person. How did she raise the twelfth brother with such a temperament?
This is not Xiao's father, but Xiao's mother...
Wan Liuha's appearance is acceptable, but his temperament is really dull and taciturn...
*
When the twelfth elder brother came out of the small east gate, He Yuzhu was already waiting here.
"Master Twelve, our master has asked people to prepare dinner. Please use it before leaving..."
Seeing the twelfth elder brother coming out, He Yuzhu stepped forward and said.
After hearing this, the twelfth elder brother hesitated for a moment and followed He Yuzhu to Beifu Institute.
Previously, he was afraid of disturbing his brother and sister-in-law, so he wanted to go back to the city directly.
Now that I've called you, it's not good if you don't go.
The ninth elder brother was already waiting in the front yard. Looking at the twelfth elder brother, he said angrily: "Why have you learned to pretend? If I don't ask you to come over, you plan to go back to the city directly, right?"
The twelfth elder brother said sarcastically: "I'm not pretending, I'm just thinking that time is tight today."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "It doesn't take more than two quarters of an hour. Just go back before the palace door is locked."
Hearing that the twelfth elder brother had arrived, Shu Shu sent someone to send Fengsheng and Akdan over to say hello.
The twelfth elder brother looked at his two eldest nephews with some restraint.
The last time I saw him, he was little, but now he looks like a big kid.
Akdan's appearance...
The twelfth elder brother couldn't help but cast his eyes on him.
Akdan noticed something and looked up at Brother Twelve.
There are many uncles...
I don't quite remember this...
The twelfth elder brother looked at Akdan's confusion and his eyes were red.
Brother Jiu was there, feeling sour in his heart, but he hoped that what Fujin said was true.
People have a place to come and a place to go.
I just don’t know where I came from.
On the other hand, Fujin should have some background.
This person is far smarter than ordinary women. Speaking of men, there are not many men who can compare with Fujin.
The uncle and nephew were not familiar with each other, so after the two children paid their respects, they followed the nanny back to the main courtyard.
The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and said: "Everyone has a place to go. You are a Buddhist student. You should know what reincarnation is. The eleventh elder brother has reincarnated."
Hearing this, the twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and wondered: "Ninth elder brother actually believes this?"
You really can't see it on weekdays.
Brother Jiu pointed to the study and said: "Why don't you believe it? We often offer Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at home to pray for peace, and our triplets were also prayed for by Hongluo Temple..."
That Guanyin Bamboo didn't make much money, but it also made a lot of favors.
Now that the bamboos at Hongluo Temple have been taken care of, the Guanyin bamboos in pots in my greenhouse are becoming more and more rare.
Thinking of this, the ninth elder brother couldn't help but tease the twelfth elder brother: "When you got married, I gave you a pot, and when you opened your mansion, I gave you another pot..."
After hearing this, the twelfth elder brother didn't see joy on his face, but was a little frightened.
After Brother Jiu finished speaking, he also noticed that he had made a mistake.
The twelfth elder brother died in February, his eldest son, and the succession was not a smooth one.
Three years after the wedding, there was no news about the twelve blessings.
Brother Jiu then coughed slightly and said, "The fate between girls here is both deep and shallow, so you don't have to be unfaithful."
The twelfth elder brother was a little frustrated and said: "Ninth brother, my younger brother is afraid..."
I watched my concubine being pregnant for ten months and working hard to give birth to her little brother, only to die within a few days.
The pain of losing a child is really indescribable.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Is there any deficiency in the mother's body? Starting from the time of happiness, the imperial doctor will take the pulse according to the day. If it is weak and insufficient, there will be signs in the morning."
He was thinking of the fact that the third elder brother had died in infancy and had three concubines, and the fourth elder brother had died in infancy and had his eldest daughter and second son.
Except for the second son of the fourth elder brother's family, the other four died at birth or in confinement.
The twelfth prince thought about his concubine and didn't see any weakness in her.
He shook his head and said: "There are no signs. It should be the difficulty in giving birth that makes little brother weak."
Brother Jiu said: "Then there is no way. This woman's first childbirth is like gambling on her life. No one can say for sure. It's just a lack of fate. Don't worry about it all the time. My nephew is uneasy underground and is delayed.
Reincarnation.”
The twelfth elder brother nodded, hoping that the eldest son of the concubine would really be reincarnated.
Dinner was served and the two brothers ate.
The ninth elder brother urged the twelfth elder brother to leave: "I won't keep you this time, but there is still plenty of time, so you are not allowed to race..."
