Chapter 2549 Nine Volumes 31 The Child Has Grow Up

With Sanyao's expression, Xiao Shiwu knew something was up at a glance.

Little Shiwu didn't say anything, he stood on the doorstep, and lightly told the people around him to do their errands.

Even Mao Tuan'er, Xiao Shiwu said earnestly, "I also forgot a copybook, I brought it back to the garden and asked to see it every day, and I also asked Mingda to help me run errands, and go back to get it. "

Mao Tuan'er saw that Xiao Shiwu had something to do, although he was concerned, he turned around and left.

Although the fifteenth elder brother is still a child, he is already eight years old this year; besides, the fifteenth elder brother has always been calm beyond his years, so Mao Tuan'er is relieved.

After waiting until everyone around him left, Xiao Shiwu quickly walked up to San Yao, "But what happened to Brother Twelve?"

San Yao came back this time, but found no one, and was worried about what to do.I met the fifteenth elder brother, although he is young, he is a master after all; and it is rare that even though he is the son of the imperial concubine, he does not despise the twelfth elder brother.

Sanyao asked for one-legged peace, with embarrassment all over his face, "Oh, my fifteenth elder brother, the slave just wants to come back and find someone to persuade twelve elder brothers... If you drink like that, it will hurt your health."
.
In the northern suburbs of the capital, Cao Balitun Funeral Palace.

Yongzhen then finished wearing filial piety in Ji'an Institute, and with the transfer of the golden coffin, he followed to Caobalitun Funeral Palace to continue to wear filial piety.

San Yao didn't come back until dusk, but he brought back one more person.

Such a small figure, when Yong Xin took a look at it, he woke up from the wine all of a sudden.

"Oh Sanyao, you dog slave, you are looking for death! Why did you bring your fifteenth elder brother here?!"

Don't say that Caobalitun is a funeral palace, it's not a place where children should come; besides, it's already dusk, if you let a child come here, once you see something vague, you will treat it as unclean, and you will What should I do if I'm scared? !

What's more, Xiao Shiwu is the child of the imperial concubine, who is the most precious at this time; and Yongzhen himself, at this time, is the time when the hairless phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken. Now, can Huang Ama spare him?
San Yao was too frightened to speak, but Xiao Shiwu stepped forward to salute, and then with a childish smile on his face, he stretched out his arms and hugged Yong Xing.

"Brother Twelve, don't blame Sanyao, I missed Brother Twelve, and I insisted on following Sanyao to see Brother Twelve."

San Yao was so moved that he quickly kowtowed to Xiao Shiwu in the void behind him.

Yongzhen sighed, and quickly let go of Xiaoshiwu, "Why don't I miss you, brother Shiwu? It's just that I'm in filial piety now, so it's not easy to go next to you."

"Besides, this is a funeral palace, you are a child, you shouldn't come here."

Xiao Shiwu was calm and relaxed, not afraid because of the spirit banners hanging around in the funeral palace, he just said calmly, "Concubine Qian is our elder, I will also come to salute."

Xiao Shiwu said sensiblely and kowtowed in front of Concubine Qian's golden coffin first, and Mao Tuan'er followed carefully.

Hongluo died early, and in front of the golden coffin of Concubine Qian was Hongluo's son, Yongxuan, who returned the gift with a virtuous grandson.

After Xiao Shiwu finished his salute, he held Yongxuan's hand and comforted him for a long time.

Yong Xin watched from the side, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

Yongxuan was born in the 17th year of Qianlong, eight years older than his junior fifteen.But at this moment, the way Xiao Shiwu held Yongxuan while talking made people think that Xiao Shiwu was the older one.

This is of course related to Xiao Shiwu being a prince and the status of the imperial concubine. Yong Xuan is only the son of the clan after all, but Yong Xuan also understands that the more important reason is that Xiao Shiwu's temperament is naturally calm and calm. kindness.
.
Xiao Shiwu finished comforting Yongzhen, and then followed Yongzhen back to Yongzhen's bedroom.

Little Shiwu rested his cheeks and looked up at Yongzheng, "My brother is in a hurry to come here today, firstly because I miss Brother Twelve, and secondly because I have something to ask Brother Twelfth for."

After Xiaoshiwu said this, Yongzhen felt more at ease.

"What's the matter?" Yongzheng asked hurriedly.

"That's what happened." Little Shiwu bowed his head first, and thought hard, "On May [-]th, Huang Ama issued an edict. I didn't understand it after reading it, and I still have to ask Brother Twelve for advice." .”

Yongzhen's heart skipped a beat first, he was a little defensive, and stepped back, "Is it possible that our brothers can casually discuss the decree of Huang Ama?"

Little Fifteen eagerly held Yong Xin's hand, and pulled him back, "Don't worry, Brother Twelfth, of course I'm not talking about the government and military affairs. What I want to talk about is what Huang Ama allows our princes to talk about." Son. And because this matter is related to the hadith hanging in the upper study, talking about it will only make my heart clearer, and it will not hinder it."

Only then did Yong Xin nod his head, "Say it."

Little Shiwu concentrated on reciting the decree and said: "Decree: Man Jishan, who was introduced by the leaders of the official department yesterday, is the son of Manbao. He is also known as Man Jishan, and it seems that he took Man as his surname! Iben is Jueluo, why bother to learn?" The Han people changed their surnames? The name was Jishan, and it was handed over to the princes of the clan's mansion, etc., and those who were like this in the clan's house would be changed."

The meaning of the decree is that there is a man named Man Jishan whose father is named Manbao.Their family is Jue Luo, so the family name is Jue Luo.But since the first letter of Man Jishan's name - Manzi, is the same as the first letter of his father's name, it seems that both father and son have the same last name.

The name of such a surname does not conform to the old Manchu custom of "proclaiming the name without giving the surname", but it looks like a Chinese name.

It would be fine if they were ordinary Manchus, but their family is still Jueluo, who is also a relative of the emperor, so the emperor felt that it was more serious, so he issued an order to order Man Jishan to change his name to "Jishan" and change the name of that The word "full" was deleted.

Little Shiwu looked eagerly at Yongxin, "I just remembered that two days after Little Seventeen was born, I went to see Little Seventeen with the fan that Eleven Brother gave me, but Huang Ama saw her , the little incident that happened...Huang Ama may not allow us to use nicknames and nicknames, and this hadith is specially hung in the upper study."

"The will of Huang Ama this time, I feel that it has the same meaning as the last time. But Brother Twelfth, I am stupid, I still don't seem to understand Huang Ama's intention..."
.
Yong Xin looked at Xiao Shiwu and sighed softly.

It's no wonder that Xiao Shiwu has such doubts.After all, Xiao Shiwu's biological mother, the imperial concubine, is of Han surname, and Xiao Shiwu's adoptive mother, Concubine Qing, is also Han. Although Xiao Shiwu is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, most of the people around him are Han people. This is not so clear about the ancient traditions of the Manchus. of.

In this regard, Xiao Shiwu is naturally inferior to him.

Yongzhen reached out for a pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote down the name of "Man Jishan" in Manchu on the paper.

"You see, the two characters of Jishan are written consecutively, which is his name. The character 'Man' is written separately, not a single character at all, so he put it on himself, not an old character in Qinghua. .”

Little Shiwu still has a little difficulty in reading Manchu.Yong Xing then pointed to the consecutive characters, and taught Xiao Shiwu to read it sound by sound.

"When the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty were outside the customs, they were all called by their first names but not their surnames. For example, it is enough to call you by your first name, just 'Yongyan', and you must never say 'Aixinjueluo·Yongyan'." ;Similarly, the name of Manjishan can only be 'Jishan', without the word 'Man'."

"We Manchu names, not only can't be connected with names, but we can't take any other nicknames or nicknames, otherwise we will be confused with Han people."

Xiao Shiwu listened carefully, and nodded adoringly after listening, "Brother Twelve is really knowledgeable!"

Yongzhen was a little ashamed, "Hey, this is not a learned thing. After all, it is the ancestor's rules. Since childhood, I have followed my mother and the Manchu masters, so I have learned everything."

Xiao Shiwu shook his head, "I don't think so. We have been in the customs for more than 100 years in the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu and Chinese cultures have become more and more integrated. Gradually, many children from Manchu families gradually cannot speak Manchu and are unfamiliar Ride and shoot."

"I've also heard that because of this in the early years, Huang Ama even changed the successor of the clan prince's title. After all, heirs who are not full of words and who are not familiar with riding and shooting cannot inherit the title."

Little Shiwu's eyes glowed with admiration, "Even looking at our royal family, clan, and all the children in Jue Luoli, it seems that only Brother Twelve can speak Manchu so skillfully!"

Yong Xing was a little embarrassed by the praise, but his face couldn't help but light up.

Xiao Shiwu is actually right. Among the princes, Yongxuan, Yongxuan and Yongxuan are from the noble concubine Shujia, and half of them are from Korea; Wanxi's children are of half Han descent.There is only one, Yong Xing, who is a serious Manchu pure-blood elder brother.

Little Shiwu said earnestly with a sullen little face, "I also want to learn from Brother Twelve, and learn all these Manchu characters clearly!"

This is Xiao Shiwu's wish, and it is also the hope of Wanxi and the emperor.

The emperor has such a deep heart for Xiao Shiwu, if Xiao Shiwu doesn't understand Manchu in the future, he will be dragged by the clan ministers to talk about his half Han blood, and the future will inevitably be full of difficulties.Therefore, Xiao Shiwu has been diligently studying Manchu since he was a child, and he has learned all the old Manchu rules fluently, no less than any Manchu elder brother, that will do.

As Xiao Shiwu said, he got up and saluted Yongzheng, "In the past, my younger brother wanted to learn poetry from Brother Twelve, so today I want to learn more from Brother Twelve—Brother Twelve, I promise to teach you from now on." Brother learn Manchu!"

Yongzhen was a little excited, but also a little embarrassed, and quickly waved his hands, "In the study room, we have our own masters in Manchu, they are all knowledgeable people..."

Xiao Shiwu smiled coquettishly, "But the time we spend together with the masters is limited after all. Brother Twelfth and I live together. No master can compare to our brother's day and night togetherness."

Yong Xin's heart warmed uncontrollably.

Originally, he thought that whoever he could get close to among brothers should not be close to this little Shiwu.But he didn't expect that since his mother's accident and his loss of power, everyone wanted to avoid him, but only this little fifteen, such a small child, always came to accompany him without avoiding suspicion.

If it is said that among princes and brothers, some people may be showing favors, but Xiao Shiwu is still young after all, and it is not time to learn those things.

Then Xiao Shiwu treated him like this out of the child's own simple and true feelings.

Yongzhen closed his eyes, sighed and said, "Little Fifteen, Brother Twelfth wants to ask you: Why are you so close to Brother Twelve?"

Xiao Shiwu thought about it, but when he lowered his head, his eyes were still red.

"Because of pomegranates. I was young at that time, and I didn't know what it means to gain and lose. I was with pomegranates every day, and I thought I could continue like this for 100 years... until one day, the pomegranates disappeared, and I couldn't find them anymore. It's his time..."

Little Shiwu's tears were big and round, shining brightly and falling down, hanging down his cheeks.

"From that day on, I realized that brothers may not always be together forever. The pomegranate will disappear suddenly, and the other brothers may become eternal friends at some point... I realized that, As long as the brothers can still be together, they must get along well."

"Besides, the other brothers have been married long ago and live far away, so I spent the longest time with Eleventh Brother and Twelfth Brother. Now that Eleventh Brother is also married, he moved out and lived in Yuqing Palace. Brother Twelfth and I are the only two left here. I feel that Brother Twelfth is more dependent on each other. Among the brothers, only Brother Twelfth is the closest to me now."

Yongzhen's throat was a little choked, and he lowered his head deeply, not knowing how to face the child in front of him, with those clear eyes like water.

This kid has no resentment or defense against him, but is still so dependent on him.

Yongzhen sniffed hard, couldn't help but think of his mother... Think of Xiaoliu, or even the other princes of the imperial concubine, Xiaoshisi, and the child who disappeared in Qianlong's 24 years.

Yong Xin shouted hoarsely in his heart, "Er Niang, Er Niang, did you hear that? If I knew this before, why bother..."

Er Niang has been guarding against the imperial concubine all her life, and she has been scheming about the prince born by the imperial concubine all these years; but in the end, Er Niang couldn't protect his only son.But when he was lonely and desperate, it was Xiao Shiwu who came to accompany him.

This kind of misplaced love and hate is really going to tear him apart.

"Brother Twelve, what's wrong with you?" Little Fifteen fixed Yongzheng, "Brother Twelfth, why are you crying? Did I say something wrong? Or, Brother Twelfth, why are you uncomfortable? Is there something wrong?" hurt?"

As Xiao Shiwu said, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to touch Yongxin's forehead.

Yong Xin hurriedly grabbed Xiao Shiwu's hand, smiled with tears in his eyes, shook his head and said, "No, I don't. Xiao Shiwu, I'm glad you came to see me today."
.
It was dark in May, but it was still dark after the two brothers had said such a good thing.

Yong Xin hurriedly said, "Mao Tuan'er is well-versed, you can escort Xiao Shiwu away quickly. This is the funeral palace, it can't be compared to the palace, don't call Xiao Shiwu a loser."

Mao Tuan'er also persuaded Xiao Shiwu, "The emperor and the imperial concubine's master are still waiting for brother fifteen to say hello tonight. If brother fifteen doesn't go back, the emperor and the imperial concubine's master should be in a hurry."

Only then did Xiao Shiwu get up, salute and bid farewell to Yongzheng.

Yong Xing sent it to the gate of the funeral palace in person, and watched Xiao Shiwu leave from a distance.

In this world, he used to feel that he was alone.But why did he suddenly feel at this moment, as if there was a little more hope and concern after all?
.
"Heaven, Earth, Family Spring", Xiao Shiwu went to play with Xiao Shiqi, Mao Tuan'er still carefully told Wanxi and Yuqin what happened today.

"It's not just this case, but since the fifteenth elder brother moved into Yuqing Palace, he and the twelve elder brothers have been walking around more and more frequently. The slave recalls all the things in the past, and can't help but worry... Master, look, should the slave be right?" How long are you keeping Fifteen Brothers apart?"

Just after Nala's death, Elder Twelve has worn the filial piety twice in a row this year. There is no news of getting married after Fujin entered the palace for more than a year. These things are left to Elder Twelve's temperament Well, it's no wonder he doesn't feel resentment in his heart.

If the twelfth elder brother takes revenge on the fifteenth elder brother... After all, the fifteenth elder brother is still young, so he will naturally suffer.

Yuqin was immediately worried, "Why don't we ask the emperor to move Elder Brother Twelve out for now. After all, he is going to get married too, so he will naturally be moved out of Yuqing Palace after getting married."

Wanxi bowed her head and hesitated.

When it comes to Nala's influence and Yongxin's temper since he was a child, it is impossible for Wanxi not to be worried.

but……

Wanxi slowly raised her eyes, "Mao Tuan'er, I want to ask you, what does Xiao Shiwu look like every time he goes to see Yong Xing?"

Mao Tuan'er bowed his head and thought for a moment, "My slave thinks back, Elder Brother Fifteen is calm. He didn't just run over in a hurry, but he calmed down for a while before going every time, and then walked over."

Wanxi raised her eyebrows lightly, but smiled.

"Then let him go."

Yuqin was a little worried, and quickly grabbed Wanxi's hand, "Jiu'er!"

Wanxi looked back and stared at Yuqin's eyes with a smile, "Sister, Yuanzi has grown up. Although he is still a child, he is eight years old after all this year. He already has the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong; we should not do it again." Just like when he was young, everything is decided for him, right?"

"Tell him to look at his situation and make his own choice. He is a prince, and the burden on his shoulders is heavier. In the future, he will have to recognize the importance and make more choices. It is better to bump into it than to choose the opportunity." Fortunately, since he has already started, we will let him go."

Wanxi took a look at Mao Tuan'er, "There is Mao Tuan'er around him, so there can be no big trouble. Besides, there is the emperor, the emperor has already guarded Yong Xin so strictly, I don't believe Yong Xin can do it." Something stupid happened."

Yuqin was slightly taken aback, then sighed, "Yeah, why did Yuanzi grow up all of a sudden? When I think of him, he's still as big as he used to be, with a white and round appearance. But after counting his age , It’s just like waking up from a dream, isn’t he already eight years old, he’s a big brother now!”

Wanxi also felt that her smile was a bit sour, "We can't be with him forever, since he has reached his age, we have to let go and let him grow up by himself, right?"

"As mothers, we always feel that everything is for him and for his own good. But when it comes to Guiqi, when the child grows up, the child is a child, and we are us. In fact, they are two different things. The children's own state of mind may not be exactly the same as ours."

"Then it's up to him. He is our child, and we always believe that he should have his own judgment and make the right choice. That's it. Don't let us hate Nala , and the memory of Yongzheng when she was a child, which affected Yuanzi's own eyesight and judgment."

Yuqin slightly frowned, but finally nodded slowly.

"Yeah, people are always multi-faceted. Maybe Yongzheng's attitude towards us and Yuanzi's attitude are two different things? Maybe we are too worried. If we force it on Yuanzi, it will also distort Yuanzi. Don't worry...then what's the difference between us and Dai Jiashi and the others? Then Yuanzi, don't we have to be like Shunying?"

Wanxi clasped Yuqin's hand tightly in relief.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. When a child grows up, he will be him, and we will be us. Let's watch him carefully from a distance, but just let go and let him walk forward by groping for the stone!"
.
In June, the imperial army gathered in Yunnan to suppress the Burmese rebellion.

Although there is a huge gap between the imperial army and Burma's military strength, Burma occupies a favorable location - at this time in June, it is the time when the southwestern mountains and forests are full of miasma.Most of the generals leading the imperial army were Manchus, and they were basically people from outside the Northeast Pass. So when they suddenly went to the southwest, they suffered a lot from fighting the Burmese in the humid and hot miasma.

Many generals fell ill due to the miasma, including Jiu Ye's eldest son, Duoluoerfu Ling'an.

The emperor was also worried, Mingrui did not mention Fu Ling'an's illness in several performances in June, so the emperor ordered to ask, and asked Mingrui to answer clearly.

This summer, the miasma in the mountains of Yunnan and Burma seemed to float from the southwest to the northwest along with the heat, and infect the palace.

There is an inexplicable sense of irritability in everyone's heart.

Can't say it, but can't hold it down.

The dark fire in the emperor's heart was even stronger, and the pain was more severe than others.Wanxi could only carefully accompany the emperor, and quietly comforted him, "Brother Ling will be safe. I think that when he was just 13 years old, the older child was sent to the Northwest Military Camp by Master Jiu, but the result was not good." Did you also follow Mingrui and make meritorious service in Yili?"

"Brother Ling is older now, and has more experience in battle. Besides, the small country of Myanmar is incomparable with Erutt back then. Then Brother Ling and the others can take it lightly. I believe they will be able to triumph in the near future."

The emperor held Wanxi's hand and sighed softly, "My Lord originally thought so. How much trouble can it take to get to the small country of Choer in Myanmar? But I didn't expect that the ministers who handled the affairs would throw them all into the quagmire. It’s not easy.”

"I don't show mercy to the criminals who deserve to be killed; but for meritorious officials like Fu Ling'an, I always worry about them, lest they get hurt."

Wanxi sighed and nodded, "I know. Otherwise, the emperor would have suppressed the matter of the eighth princess, and didn't ask Qilin to protect the child's fault for a while... It's because Brother Ling is in the Southwest Army at the moment I fell ill. I don't want to distract and embarrass Master Jiu's family at this time."

(My dear friends, the comments in the past two days are so exciting, like it~ History is fun, it will always be the most exciting story beyond creation.)
