Chapter 9: The Home of the Old Ten


The wedding leave was over, and Lao Shi started working from nine to five again.

Instead of going to court, he continued to study in the study.

According to the family laws of the Qing Dynasty royal family, the emperor's elder brother began to study in the study at the age of six, but there was no corresponding age limit for when he should graduate.

For the children of the Manchu royal family, they would get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and then the prince would move out of the palace and build his own mansion outside.

So in theory, you don't need to study in the study room at this time.

But in most cases, after getting married, the emperor and his brother had to continue to study in the study because they had not yet received a specific job.

There are more than eleven married emperor's elder brothers who still have to study in the study.

Except for the eldest brother who serves in the Ministry of War, all the elders starting from the prince are still in the study.

The prince is studying, and the others can still resist.

Therefore, there is a record that "the cold and summer are endless, even after getting married and becoming a knight, he continued to study".

But having said that, a prince like this who has already married will not be subject to as strict restrictions as before when he goes to study.

Of course, just because he doesn't have to study so seriously doesn't mean he doesn't have to do his homework.

Because Kangxi often inspected the emperor's elder brother's knowledge, most of the emperor's elder brothers still did not dare to neglect their studies.

Married people are naturally different from those before they were married.

Before Lao Shi, he usually got up before midnight, had a snack and a glass of water and left, but that was no longer the case now.

When he got up, Baoyue followed him.

She got up, but Baoyue didn't do this to accompany Lao Shi, but because she really didn't sleep well.

Because of her cultivation, she couldn't sleep enough for a few hours.

But Lao Shi didn't know that he himself was a "difficulty getting up", so naturally he felt that others would not feel comfortable getting up early.

When he got up, he saw Baoyue getting up too, and advised: "Fu Jin doesn't have to get up early after me, now it's better."

It’s very early, let’s get some sleep.”

"I'm not sleepy anymore.

Why don't I get up now and have something to eat with you?

If I'm still sleepy, I'll wait until you leave before I come back to sleep."

I really can't bear to call myself my concubine, and I've never been aggrieved.

My own Baoyue decided to call herself me in front of Lao Shi.

After trying it several times, she found that Lao Shi accepted it well, so Baoyue implemented the decision.

Lao Shi, who had never had the experience of being accompanied while eating before going to the study room, gave in without any willpower, and the discomfort caused by getting up early was replaced by excitement and emotion.

Different from the palace snacks that Lao Shi ate before, last night Baoyue ordered someone to take this morning's meal list to the imperial dining room.

They were all traditional and authentic snacks.

I think the chef in the imperial dining room should also be able to make them.

The freshly baked water chestnut pancakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

They are both crispy and fragrant, with good aroma, good color, taste and shape.

It has a unique flavor of burnt aroma, light aroma, and sesame aroma.

It is served with three kinds of fillings: pork head, braised pork, and mutton.

The skin is thin and the filling is big, the soup is oily, soft, tender and fragrant, white and smooth.

It looks like a lantern when you lift it up, and looks like a chrysanthemum when you put it down.

Dark yellow in color, shaped like a bracelet, crispy and caramelized, with a unique flavor.

A salty, spicy oil tea.

These traditional snacks of old Beijing that Baoyue never forgets, although Lao Shi, the emperor's elder brother, is in the capital, he has never eaten them.

It looked far worse than the palace breakfast.

At first, Old Eleven did not criticize for the sake of Fujin, but when the food came into his mouth, Old Eleven had nothing to say.

It’s not that they are that delicious compared to the palace breakfast, but as someone who has been eating palace dim sum for more than ten years, the change of taste is still good.

What’s more, the palace dim sum is always cold when eaten.

Of course it’s not as good as these snacks that are still warm when served.

Of course, he would not admit that having Fujin by his side would put him in a good mood.

After eating a delicious meal, he touched his belly.

Before leaving, Lao Shi, who had stolen a sweet scent from Baoyue's face, thought to himself that he might not be able to eat much for breakfast in the study.

Lao Eleven stayed in a good mood all day long, showing a silly smile from time to time.

When it came time to eat breakfast, he even looked down on him and couldn't eat anymore.

The brothers were speechless and ate almost I have been eating in the study for ten years.

It wasn’t good before, but why can’t I like it today?

The brothers with bad virtues complained crazily in their hearts.

At the end of the day, the brothers finished their morning study and began to have lunch.

The masters also had their meals at this time.

In the Qing Dynasty, martial arts were advocated.

In addition to reading and writing in the study, princes also had to learn riding, archery, and firearms, and were taught by specialized masters.

Don't think that the emperor's brother doesn't need to be proficient in these.

Since the Qing Dynasty was "conquering the world immediately", it also attached great importance to the training of the emperor's riding and archery skills.

Therefore, in addition to Han masters, masters were also selected from Manchu and Mongolian officials, named "Shuida."

The people who teach in "Shangshufang" are all selected from the Eight Banners officials who are proficient in Manchu and have outstanding skills in bow and horse.

Those who teach archery and horseback shooting are called "Wai Shuda", and each prince is assigned five of them to manage pommel horses, bows and arrows, and "teach fowling" and other matters.

Therefore, riding and shooting were still very important to the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.

Don’t you see, because the fourth brother Yinzhen only has four and a half strength, the older brothers above him are stronger than him, and the younger brothers gradually surpass him, which is very embarrassing.

When the eldest brother went to study, he always took the lead in riding and shooting.

Now, the three of them, Prince Edward, Lao Wu, and Lao Ten, are at the top, and they are evenly matched.

The prince is truly good at both civil and military affairs.

Although Lao Wu and Lao Ten are good at martial arts, they are not good at literature.

Today's Lao Shi is definitely the focus.

He fired forty arrows on the ground, and the hit was thirty-nine.

He also fired twenty arrows while sitting on a horse with a bow and arrow, and the hit was nineteen.

He was far ahead among all the emperor's brothers.

The entire training ground has almost become the home court of Lao Shi.

The brothers turned over and dismounted.

Those with strong physical strength, such as the prince and the fifth brother, had reddish faces and heavy breathing.

Those with weak physical strength, such as the third, fourth and seventh brothers, had tired legs that were shaking and needed support from the little eunuch.

Only Lao Shi was still in high spirits and had the momentum to do it again.

Lao Jiu hugged Lao Ten and put his weight on Lao Ten: "Lao Shi, that's enough.

Why don't we just get married?

Three days have passed and we are still so excited."

Lao Shi smiled, showing his white teeth.

Lao Jiu was furious when he saw his stupid brother's look.

"Brother will go to your place later and try some good food, so that your breakfast in the study room will be reduced by half."

He didn't believe that the tenth brother and sister who came from Mongolia knew what good food was, so they would let the imperial chef change it.

Make bamboo shoots in various ways and just eat them yourself.

"Okay, Ninth Brother, I'll ask Fujin to arrange a table later, and I'll make sure you like it."

Lao Shi, who didn't know his Ninth Brother's true psychology, said with a smile, as if he was about to offer a treasure, which made Lao Jiu really happy.

Speechless.

"Hey, the tenth brother can't favor one over the other.

Only the ninth brother is invited."

The third child was unhappy when he saw the two of them looking disgusted.

You two are brothers.

"Yes, Brother Ten, you can't forget me, my younger brother."

"How can Brother Ten only invite Brother Ninth?"

"Tenth brother, what you did was so dishonest."

The elders and the younger ones all started to make noises, and finally the prince made the final decision: "Since all the brothers want to go, I'm afraid the ten brothers and sisters are not prepared.

Why don't we all go together tomorrow."

The prince has already said it, so Lao Shi naturally can't say anything more, not to mention, he can't refute the face of so many brothers.

But Lao Shi is still a little unhappy.

Whose family's Fujin feels sorry for him?

It's okay to invite Jiu Ge alone, but if he invites so many people, Fujin may be affected. gd1806102:
