Chapter 815 I’m going back to Bahrain (2-in-1 please vote for me)
After Gao Bin and his son left, Brother Jiu returned to the main room and mentioned the matter to Shu Shu.
Shu Shu frowned slightly after hearing this.
"Is this considering walnuts as an alternative?"
Brother Jiu said: "I guess Gao Bin was interested in it before, but he didn't dare to mention it to his parents."
Even though Gao Bin's family was a little depressed before, his grandfather and maternal grandfather were middle-ranking officials, and Gao Yanzhong is now in the fifth rank.
But in the Walnut family, the father is white and only the uncle is a posthumous person, so the two family backgrounds are not suitable.
Now that the marriage has encountered twists and turns, Gao Bin wants to fight for it.
Shu Shu could understand after thinking about Fusong's marriage.
It is human nature for parents to want to choose the best when it comes to marrying their children.
After all, marriage is a good thing for two people.
Shu Shu said: "Anyway, Walnut has already said that he has to wait for two years. I will not interfere with the marriage."
Brother Jiu said: "I won't interfere, just let him alone."
*
Outside the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Gao Bin and his son rode horses together.
Gao Yanzhong glanced at Gao Bin and said, "Have you thought about it and made up your mind?"
Gao Bin nodded without hesitation and said, "Well, my son has made up his mind."
Gao Yanzhong sighed and said: "Miss Walnut's character and behavior are beyond words, but her family is ordinary, and your children will not have any support from their maternal family in the future."
Gao Bin pursed his lips and said: "Son, do your job well and earn your own merit."
Gao Yanzhong solemnly said: "You made your own choice, and I won't stop you. If you regret it in the future, you are not allowed to vent your anger on others."
Gao Bin shook his head and said, "No, my son is not irresponsible."
Gao Yanzhong shook his head and said: "If you are really responsible, when your mother wants to marry you, you shouldn't hide your thoughts. Now that you are called Jiu Ye, what does Jiu Fujin think?"
Gao Bin pursed his lips and said, "I originally wanted to follow my mother's wishes..."
My mother has worked hard for the family for many years, which is not easy. The brothers in the Gao family are relatively filial.
Gao Yanzhong disapproved and said: "Stupid! Filial piety is not here. As parents, we hope that your life will go smoothly..."
I really should have told it earlier, but it is still a good story.
Nowadays, it seems that if you can't find the best, you have to settle for the second best.
After returning home, Gao Yanzhong mentioned the matter to his wife.
Mrs. Li was silent for a long time and said: "Let him go, I don't care!"
To be honest, their family still took advantage of other girls.
If there was no Walnut to recommend Gao Yanzhong at that time, then would Jiu Age know who he was?
But she was also a little depressed and really cared less about her second son.
If it hadn't been for the fact that they couldn't get married this time, she wouldn't have known that her son had other thoughts.
If he were the eldest son, he would have said hello to her long ago.
They also live a life of three ups and downs. It does not mean that they have an eye for wealth or that the eldest daughter-in-law has an ordinary background.
If you are a young child, you may have good ideas, but you may also be naughty and mischievous.
Only the second child, who has always been sensible, almost wronged the child...
*
The next day, the second day of the first lunar month, Brother Ninth went to Dutong Mansion.
I also brought the "Guining Gift".
This was Dai Shushu's visit to his parents.
It's just that I just met Weng's son-in-law yesterday, and there's nothing much to say.
In addition, Luo Shi and Qi Xi felt worried about Shu Shu's side, so they urged Brother Jiu to come back.
Brother Ninth came back and sighed: "This is why I respect my father-in-law and mother-in-law. The character of my father-in-law and mother-in-law is really not picky. If it were any other family, they would probably flatter me, the prince's son-in-law, and give their son
The only ones who benefit are your father-in-law and mother-in-law, who always put you in front..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "There are many families who favor girls over boys. If the queen gets a princess, she will be the first to be pampered."
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "That's right. Before Fourth Sister came out, she was indeed more favored than Fifth Brother..."
This is talking about Princess Heshuo Kejing, the sixth daughter of the emperor who was raised by Concubine Yi before her. In the 36th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, she married to the Khalkha Mongolia. She was the first princess of the Qing Dynasty to marry to Mobei.
Shu Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "How is this princess's character?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "I went to school with my brothers when I was a child, and my civil and martial arts were good, otherwise Khan Ama would not have been able to point her so far away with confidence..."
Shu Shu knew that this person was the famous "Princess Sea Clam" in later generations.
This "far" is not geographically far.
To put it bluntly, Guihua City, where Princess Kejing's mansion is located, is a thousand miles away from the capital, much closer than the Horqin tribe in the northeast.
But Khalkha Mongolia was a foreign Mongolia, different from Monan Mongolia.
Monan Mongolia had officials sent by the imperial court, but Mobei Mongolia did not. Each tribe had a Khan king.
Compared with other Fumeng princesses, Princess Kejing is the real marriage princess.
Previously, Shu Shu was worried that because of Guo Guiren's affairs, the princess would hate Concubine Yi and her son.
Now think about it, since you are a smart person, you won't be like this.
It was she who needed Concubine Yi and her son to support her in the capital, not Concubine Yi and her son who needed her to be the icing on the cake.
Shu Shu let the matter go.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Brother Jiu got up early again.
Today the Holy Emperor moved to Changchun Garden in honor of the Queen Mother.
It was almost afternoon before Brother Ninth came back.
"Fifteen is still talking about it today, asking us not to forget his birthday..."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu nodded and said, "When the time comes, ask someone to make a few fruit boxes and send them over."
The 14th elder brother’s birthday is on the ninth day of the first lunar month.
The eleventh elder brother and his wife followed them to Changchun Garden, and they still stayed at the elder brother's house outside the West Garden.
Because Shu Shu had agreed with Brother Jiu before that New Year’s Eve would be the limit, and the couple should be honest.
Brother Jiu also knew that Shu Shu was working hard, but he didn't make any more trouble.
The couple was idle and bored. Apart from studying the Book of Rites, they were also thinking about their child's nickname.
"I don't want Fu, Fu, Bao or anything like that, I'm shouting too much..."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu couldn't think of a good name, so she said: "Why don't we just give it a name? It will save two names and make the child confused..."
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "Then what if Khan Amma only gives his name when he enters the study?"
Shu Shu said: "Then please give me your name after your first birthday..."
Brother Jiu said: "No, you have to have a nickname. I don't even have one. Among so many brothers, only the eldest brother and the prince have nicknames..."
Shu Shu stroked her forehead and said, "Where is the nickname? Isn't that the former name?"
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "No one else has it anyway, only the two of them have it."
Shu Shu stopped worrying and said, "Then let's think about it carefully, there are still four months left, don't worry..."
Even though she said this, she actually didn't know what she was thinking.
The twins will be delivered early, probably at the end of February or early March.
Ms. Jueluo was pregnant with her third and fourth children at the time, and she was born in the eighth month.
If calculated that way, the delivery date would be early March.
Early birth has the advantage of being born early. The child is small and does not take much effort to give birth; but raising it outside is still different from raising it in the belly for half a month.
Shu Shu felt that she had become a Buddha and could accept both outcomes.
Although she was a mother for the first time, she felt that the maternal love she had developed was countless.
In her heart, she still takes herself more seriously.
When her spirit relaxed, she felt that time passed quickly.
She was already in the mood to calculate her children's birthdays and then think about their zodiac signs.
Is it an Aries baby or a Taurus baby?
No matter what, I hope these two children will have peace of mind.
As for the child's Amma, she has some shadow of a virgin man.
Are you a Scorpio woman?
It seems a bit far-fetched.
The days become leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the ninth day of the first lunar month.
The ninth elder brother sent Sun Jin to Changchun Garden to give a birthday gift to the fourteenth elder brother.
In addition to the prepared food, there are also two Song editions of military books and a set of "Qing Code".
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu raised their eyebrows and said, "Look what I did to my younger brother. I was not sensible at that time and did not study hard. Now I have to take the blame. This is a lesson learned from the past. They should study hard!"
Shu Shu couldn't help laughing and said: "I can't say whether my fourteenth brother is happy or not. Your Majesty and Concubine De must be thinking of me."
Brother Jiu was proud and said: "Among Khan Ama's many sons, others are not at the forefront, but when it comes to 'brothers, friends and brothers' respect,' I can definitely be at the forefront..."
Shu Shu said: "I'm afraid my fourteenth brother is going to cry. I had previously specified that I was looking forward to horses, bows and arrows, and sabers."
When teenagers like to play with swords, their favorite things are good horses and equipment.
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Who told me to be so loyal? I am doing it for his own good."
The next day, Brother Fourteen sent someone over.
It turned out that the fourteenth elder brother had been depressed for a day and was unwilling to give in, so he sent a "return gift" to the ninth elder brother.
It is a set of "The Book of Rites", one hundred and sixty volumes.
"Our father specially used the New Year's money to buy it. It's the Song Dynasty version..."
The eunuch who came to deliver the book lowered his head and reported.
"Ah……"
Brother Jiu couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "This little bastard doesn't suffer at all, he returns the gift very quickly!"
The eunuch added: "Our master also went to the imperial court and mentioned the matter to the emperor. The emperor said that the ceremony was well prepared..."
Brother Ninth: "..."
When the eunuch left, Shu Shu couldn't help laughing and said, "Fourteenth brother is quite funny..."
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "You have been a bad person since you were a child, but you have been pretending to be honest in the past two years!"
The couple were chatting, when Cui Baisui hurriedly came to report that someone from the imperial court was coming.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu looked at each other.
Brother Jiu said: "It's still far away from the Lantern Festival. Besides, even if there is a feudal banquet, the Lifanyuan and the Ministry of Rites are in the front. The Ministry of Internal Affairs just makes up the numbers, so I don't need to personally watch it, right?"
Shu Shu said: "Don't delay, I will find out when you go ahead."
Before and after New Year's Eve, I also took a break for half a month.
Brother Jiu nodded and went forward.
It's Wei Zhu who's here.
"Master Jiu, the emperor has returned to the palace..."
Wei Zhu bowed and said.
Brother Jiu was not surprised when he heard this.
Last year, after the Holy Emperor went to Changchun Garden to accompany the Queen Mother, he also returned to the palace once.
"Did Khan Amma send me the message?" Brother Jiu asked.
Is there something big going on in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
It seems that the only thing left to do is to establish an additional Yushi Yamen.
Brother Jiu thought.
Wei Zhu said: "The emperor saw the situation of the eldest princess in the past two days. It was not good and he was worried, so he went back to the palace. He wanted to go directly to visit the eldest princess, but he was afraid of shocking the eldest princess, so he called the servants over.
Send a message to Master Jiu to go over first and ask the princess carefully, and also pay a visit to the eldest princess..."
Brother Jiu was silent after hearing this.
I had known for a long time that the eldest princess was having a hard time, but since the New Year was over, she thought things would get better.
He nodded and said: "I understand, let's get over it."
Wei Zhu went back to resume his life.
Brother Ninth went back and spoke to Shu Shu before leaving the prince's residence.
The Princess's Villa is very close to the Prince's Mansion, only two miles away.
The carriage arrived at the gate of the Princess Courtyard in less than half a quarter of an hour.
Brother Jiu got off the carriage and looked at the still grand door, feeling deeply.
In the first month of last year, their brothers were sent here to watch Suo'etu's house being ransacked and questioned.
I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now that I think about it, what does Khan Amma mean?
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey?
Knocking on mountains and shaking tigers?
Brother Ninth was a little confused.
The eunuch at the porter recognized the carriage regulations and rushed inside to report the news.
When Brother Jiu and the concierge announced their door and strode in, Princess Rongxian had already come out to greet them.
"Lao Jiu is here..."
Princess Rongxian's smile was a little tired, and she looked thinner.
Seeing this, Ninth Prince raised his hands in the direction of the Forbidden City and said: "I came on the order of Khan Amma!"
Princess Rongxian's face became more solemn.
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama was afraid of coming over rashly and disturbing my aunt, so I asked my brother to come over first and take a look."
Princess Rongxian heard this, her eyes were red, and she said: "Grandma has stopped eating rice water since yesterday..."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Then why don't you report it?"
Princess Rongxian choked up and said, "Grandma said, it's the Chinese New Year, so don't disturb everyone. She said she would wait until after the Lantern Festival before putting on the discounts."
Here at the Princess Villa, the imperial doctor has been arranged to take turns.
Brother Jiu called the imperial doctor over and asked, "Did you use ginseng?"
The imperial doctor bowed and said: "Master Jiu, the eldest princess stopped ginseng and replaced it with Korean ginseng years ago. She has been using ginseng soup for the past two days..."
Brother Jiu also understood why the emperor's father was worried.
It's really been a bad time, it's been these two or three days.
It's just that since I came here under orders, what I heard was false and what I saw was true.
The ninth elder brother said to Princess Rongxian: "Second sister, brother, go over and take a look, so that you can return to Khan Ama..."
Princess Rongxian nodded and led Brother Jiu to the eldest princess's bedroom.
Brother Jiu held his breath and concentrated, fearing to disturb the old man.
The eldest princess lay with her eyes closed and her breathing was extremely weak.
Her hair was only gray before, but now more than half a month has passed, it is completely white, has lost its luster, and looks dry.
Her eye sockets were so sunken that her eye bones were protruding.
Brother Jiu looked at it and felt a little uncomfortable.
Although I have only met this great-aunt a few times, she is a loving old lady.
Looking at this, I'm really having a hard time.
At this moment, the eldest princess opened her eyes.
"grandmother……"
Princess Rongxian stepped forward with some excitement.
The eldest princess's eyes were a little blurred, and she said after a while: "Rong Xian..."
"It's my granddaughter-in-law..."
Princess Rongxian held the eldest princess's hand, but her body froze.
The eldest princess's hands were cold.
"What day is it today..." the eldest princess asked with a smile.
"On the tenth day of the lunar month, in five days, it will be the Lantern Festival..." Princess Rongxian said with a forced smile.
"Five days..."
The eldest princess sighed and said: "I can't survive it anymore. I can only become an unpleasant person and give the emperor some trouble..."
"Yes!" Princess Rongxian choked and nodded, and in a low voice sent someone to convey a message to Chang Shi.
Brother Jiu saw that the eldest princess's forehead was shiny and her complexion was gradually rosy. He didn't dare to delay. He took out his belt and handed it to He Yuzhu, and whispered: "Go to the palace and report to the emperor that the eldest princess has woken up and is sweating."
Like pulp!”
At this moment, the eldest princess saw the ninth elder brother behind Princess Rongxian. She put down Princess Rongxian's hand, looked at it intently for several times, and said: "It's the ninth elder brother..."
Brother Jiu took two steps forward, took the old man's hand, endured his fear, and said, "It's my grandson..."
The eldest princess smiled and said: "The dishes my brother sent me years ago were so good, I ate them all, and I was very happy..."
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "There are many more. The greenhouse at my grandson's house is bigger than this dormitory. If you want to eat anything, my grandson will send someone to get it."
The eldest princess said: "I want to eat rice dumplings. I want rice dumplings sprinkled with coriander and green onions..."
"Okay, okay! My grandson will send someone to get them now. He wants the freshest cabbage leaves, tender coriander and green onions..."
Brother Ninth held the eldest princess's hand, feeling so cold that his heart trembled.
He was afraid that he would lose his composure, so he turned around and said to Sun Jin: "Go to the house quickly to pick vegetables. You need all these. Then go to the kitchen and bring beef jerky and milk skins, and some Mongolian fruits..."
Sun Jin trotted away.
The eldest princess listened and swallowed her saliva: "Beef jerky, naipizi, Mongolian fruit..."
Brother Jiu forced a smile and said: "Prepare a few more things and you can eat them!"
The eldest princess seemed to be lost in memories. After a while, she looked at Brother Ninth and said: "Brother is a considerate and good boy. I thought I was looking forward to a meal, but after hearing what Brother said, I realized that beef
Damn it, I’m also hungry..."
Brother Jiu said: "Then try them all and see which one you like. Tell your grandson that he is most attentive to food and drink. No one has the food prepared by our house."
The eldest princess did not nod, but shook the hand of the ninth elder brother and said: "My elder brother is a good boy. My little grandson is as old as my elder brother..."
As she spoke, she seemed a little tired and closed her eyes again.
Brother Jiu gently put down the eldest princess's hand, stood up, glanced at Princess Rongxian, and whispered: "Who in the Bahrain department comes to Beijing for a shift, why don't you go and call her?"
Even if the elders are like this, it’s time for the younger generation to take care of them.
Princess Rongxian glanced at Brother Jiu and said, "Santai Ji is here. I stayed here all night before taking a rest."
Brother Jiu heard this and reminded: "Call, Khan Ama is coming soon. It's not a good idea to see him."
Princess Rongxian nodded and signaled her grandma to call someone.
After a while, a Mongolian boy of eighteen or nineteen years old hurried in. He was tall, with a red complexion, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of the tenth prince.
With a bit of fear on his face, he looked at Princess Rongxian and said, "Second sister-in-law..."
Princess Rongxian made a gesture of silence.
The young man immediately covered his mouth.
Several people exited the dormitory and went to the outer room.
Only then did the young man realize that there were foreign guests, and he became a little cautious.
Now was not the time for small talk, Princess Rongxian introduced the two of them, and they met briefly.
This is the youngest son of Tai Fujin of Bahrain, the brother-in-law of Princess Rongxian, the youngest grandson of the eldest princess, and the son-in-law of the Aling-A family.
He is a descendant of Niu Hulu, Taifujin of Bahrain, and is the aunt and cousin of the tenth prince.
From the looks of it, he looks like an honest kid.
Knowing that he was the prince's elder brother in front of him, these three auspicious people were extremely respectful.
Brother Jiu felt a little embarrassed when he saw it.
This appearance and character alone should be unmistakable.
With the family tradition of the Aling-A family, Niu Hulu Gege is really not worthy of this Mongolian prince.
At this moment, Sun Jin had already come out of the Prince's Mansion, followed by Xiaotang and Xiaochun.
The two of them were carrying two large food boxes in their hands.
In addition to the cabbage leaves, coriander, and green onions in the greenhouse, there are also beef jerky, naipizi, Mongolian fruits that Brother Ninth ordered, and many other delicacies that Brother Ninth has not mentioned just now.
There are hand-made mutton, chive flowers, mutton buns, Mongolian pie, fried rice, and milk tea powder, which is Mongolian style.
There are also old Manchu style dishes, such as saqima, perilla leaf pastry, braised meat seeds, pickled melon seeds, pickled small roots of garlic, etc.
These were all prepared years ago and are ready-made, which is quite convenient.
After hearing Sun Jin's message, Shu Shu understood the meaning and asked someone to bring a portion of Mongolian and Old Manchu food.
When the food was hot and the table was set, the holy driver arrived.
Accompanying him were two old doctors with white beards and a box of century-old ginseng.
The two imperial doctors came forward one after another and checked the eldest princess's pulse.
Both of them looked solemn.
Kangxi looked over and both of them shook their heads.
Kangxi looked at the ginseng and was about to order someone to make Dushen soup.
The eldest princess opened her eyes again.
Her eyes fell precisely on Kangxi: "The emperor is here..."
Kangxi stepped forward, held the old man's hand, and said, "Yes, my nephew is here..."
The eldest princess smiled and said: "Then the emperor, can you allow me to change my clothes before driving again? I am too embarrassed now, my aunt is sorry..."
When Kangxi saw this, he said: "Then my nephew will wait for you to come out and have dinner with you?"
The eldest princess nodded and said: "Okay, okay!"
Kangxi withdrew, and Princess Rongxian brought a few nuns to help the eldest princess change her clothes.
The eldest princess asked someone to wipe her body and put on a golden python robe.
When the hairdresser was combing her hair, she looked at Princess Rongxian and said, "Where is the facial cream from my brother..."
Princess Rongxian hurriedly opened the dressing table, took out the ginseng cream, and applied it to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess's fingers were trembling and she even wiped her hands with cream.
She looked in the mirror, but it was blurry and unreal. She could only ask Princess Rongxian: "How do I look?"
Princess Rongxian nodded and said: "Okay, I look like my face is thinner and my hair is thinner. I am several years younger..."
The eldest princess said: "Then go and have a meal, don't keep the emperor waiting."
"Hey!" Princess Rongxian responded, motioning to the nanny next to her to lend a hand, and the two of them helped the eldest princess out.
Kangxi was waiting at the dining table and was talking to the imperial doctor with his head down.
Seeing the eldest princess coming out, he got up and replaced Princess Rongxian, helping the eldest princess to sit at the dining table.
There are armchairs beside the dining table, and waist pillows have been placed in advance.
The eldest princess sat down and looked at the dishes on the dining table. Her eyes became clearer and she smiled: "There are also our flower pickles, I was just thinking about it..."
On the plate in front of her was a wrapped rice bag.
The eldest princess looked at it, shook her head and said: "Really, this is delicious when you wrap it yourself and eat it..."
Although she said this, she still lowered her head and started eating.
I ate the whole rice dumpling.
Kangxi looked at it, with a bit of joy in his eyes, and looked at the two old doctors next to him.
The two old doctors still shook their heads gently.
The eldest princess's complexion is rosy and her eyes are clearer than before, which is obviously a sign of "reflection".
The eldest princess looked at Princess Rongxian.
Princess Rongxian served tea, and the eldest princess drank the tea, rinsed her mouth, and then swallowed it all.
She glanced at the dining table again.
Half of it is the Manchu food that she misses in her dreams, and the other half is Mongolian food.
She used to think that she missed the capital, but now, she realized that Bahrain was also the place she dreamed of.
"Your Majesty, I am going back to Bahrain..."
The eldest princess smiled.
Kangxi nodded, held the eldest princess's hand, and said: "Okay, okay, I'll ask Rongxian to take you back to Bahrain tomorrow..."
The eldest princess had a smile on her face and said softly: "The Qing Dynasty must do well, and Bahrain... must also do well..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man closed his eyes slightly, as if he was asleep again, and the smile at the corner of his mouth never faded.
Kangxi closed his eyes.
The old man's hands were cold before, but now they are even colder, and he has stopped breathing.
Santaiji and Princess Rongxian both knelt down, and Brother Jiu also knelt down.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month of the 39th year of Kangxi's reign, the eldest princess Shuhui of Balin passed away with a smile on her face...
