[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite
Chapter 63
Sibeile Mansion held the funeral in a quiet and low-key manner, and Emperor Kangxi also took good care of Yinzhen and let him rest for a few days.Waiting for the first seven days to pass, and after Ulanara's coffin was buried, this matter also aroused heated discussions in Beijing.
Emperor Kangxi had many sons, but there were no unmarried princes.This serious wife is always different from a concubine's room, and now that a place has suddenly become vacant, this thoughtful person has started to move around.Of course there are risks, but those who can choose this method must also be aware of the risks.
There is always a price to pay for placing a bet, and now that Emperor Kangxi values Yinzhen a lot, it is not difficult to count seriously.After the [-]-day hot filial piety period passed, someone began to spy on the matter vaguely.
After the Manchus entered the customs, they were gradually sinicized by the Confucian culture of the Han people from the beginning of Shunzhi, and many customs have begun to differ.At least the customs of keeping filial piety and so on are the same.
Whether or not there is a mistress does affect Yinzhen, but he has already made up his mind that he will not marry again. Naturally, such a thing cannot happen, even a verbal agreement cannot be left behind.
As a result, the courtiers in the capital who wanted to establish a relationship with Yinzhen were shocked to find that Sibeile was becoming more and more difficult to contact.Not to mention talking face to face, even if there is any problem, they will wait until the air-conditioning is released and force them back.
It's just that they didn't know that it was them who pushed Yinzhen more and more towards the path of the cold-faced king.
Yinzhen's approach fell into the eyes of Emperor Kangxi, but it just fit his mind.
Emperor Kangxi has favored many princes over the years, such as Yinyin, Yinzhen, Yinzhen, etc... These have more or less received the attention of the emperor.For an emperor, there is nothing better than having many princes under his knees, but the same is true for bad things.
Emperor Kangxi didn't have much time to spend with his sons.
Those who like it are naturally quite doted on, and those who don't like it are rare to see each other in half a month.Emperor Kangxi was also a character of temperament, and he was very comfortable in this matter, and never obstructed him for any reason.
In recent years, Yinzhen has acted steadily and has a firm attitude. For Emperor Kangxi, the character of the fourth son is indeed rare, and he is not stingy in praise.It was only foreseeable that the prince who was valued by Emperor Kangxi would usually be followed by some people.
Kangxi is getting older, and the older he is, the less he can see forming a party for personal gain.Mingzhu was dealt with at the beginning, and Suo'etu was removed later, and even Longkodo was warned many times, but it was nothing more than that.
Emperor Kangxi liked Yinzhen's approach very much.
In October, the cold wind gradually picked up in central Beijing, and it began to approach winter.Yinzhen was stopped by Liang Jiugong when he was in court, and he bowed gently, "Lord Baylor, the emperor pleases."
Yinzhen, who was standing beside Yinzhen, shrugged, patted Yinzhen's shoulder, and left with Yinxiang.I don't know when, Yinzhen no longer had contact with Yinhu and others, even when they were in contact, they often walked with Yinxiang, and the people in the palace had long been used to this kind of scenery.
On the contrary, Yinzhen and Yin'e once had a quarrel with Yinzhen, and the three of them fought together. Yinxiang watched the battle for a while, and had to get involved in it, and finally got confinement by Emperor Kangxi.Since then, Yinzhen has never had contact with Yinzhen, Yin'e and the other two.
When Yinzhen heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he followed Liang Jiugong to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the censer in the corner smoked the ambergris that Emperor Kangxi liked these days, and the quiet fragrance was refreshing and refreshing.As soon as Yinzhen entered the room, he could smell this smell, just like Emperor Kangxi's state of mind during this period, it was very peaceful.
Emperor Kangxi was sitting softly looking at Zhezi, watching Yinzhen come in, and waved casually, "Stop being polite, just sit down." He motioned for the seat opposite with his chin, and then concentrated on looking at the book on Zhezi. After reading the text, take off your glasses.
Yinzhen, who was sitting across from him, kept watching quietly, but his eyes fell on the chessboard on the table. This chessboard has not changed even when Yinzhen came here many times. There is no dust on the clear chessboard, obviously someone has been wiping it all the time.
"Fourth, during this time, I think you are so tired that you can't stand upright in the hall." Emperor Kangxi's words seemed to reprimand, but there was some concern in them.
There are indeed a lot of things that Yinzhen has to do in the past few days, even the funeral some time ago is enough to consume his energy.Emperor Kangxi also knew that these words were just the beginning, and he waved his hands after listening to Yinzhen's mild words, "I have heard enough of these polite words. How is Honghui?"
Yinzhen said, "It's all over."
Emperor Kangxi's words contained deep meaning, "Honghui is young, so you can't blame him for this matter. You can't blame him for everything."
After all, Fujin collapsed while taking care of Honghui. Even if what really caused her death was an old disease caused by overwork, Honghui still blamed himself for the cause. These days are indeed too sad and unable to control himself.
Yinzhen nodded, "Of course this matter has nothing to do with him. I will pay more attention to it."
Emperor Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. He still had a good impression of Honghui, the emperor's grandson, and he was also a top-notch when he was in the study. If something happened because of this, it would not be considered beautiful.
"Your mother told me that there needs to be a head of the house after all, what do you think?" Emperor Kangxi said casually, falling on this question inadvertently.
Yinzhen's expression moved slightly, and he said seriously, "Huang Ama, my son doesn't want to remarry too early, it's not a good thing for Honghui."
Emperor Kangxi was about to say something, but stopped when he thought of Hong Hui's appearance, "Forget it, your marriage is not in a hurry, and now it's in the filial piety." He said with a waned look, as if he had remembered something.
Yinzhen noticed that Emperor Kangxi was looking at the chessboard unconsciously, and after thinking of something, he suddenly knew who Emperor Kangxi was thinking of at the moment.
Xu is Princess Heshuo Heshun.
He didn't tell Yinzhen everything about how Wen Liang got along with Emperor Kangxi when he entered the palace, but Yinzhen knew most of the content.After all, when there are important matters, Wen Liang never shy away from telling them.
Therefore, Yinzhen knew that Emperor Kangxi's favorite thing to do was to play chess with Wen Liang.This is indeed a toss for Wen Liang.
Yinzhen didn't know how to get the news that Wen Liang was good at playing chess, it seemed to have been there since Wen Liang first entered the mansion, and this was also Yinzhen's surprise at Wen Liang's backgammon when they played chess for the first time.
Wen Liang's chess moves are safe, but occasionally he prefers to use the sword to take the edge, bringing about unknown changes, like a stroke of magic.It was in keeping with his character to go straight to the point where the evidence led him to a conclusion, without fear.
From the very beginning, Wen Liang was revealed in front of Yinzhen as calmly as a blank sheet of paper.But this piece of white paper rejects any ink stains intended to contaminate it, and now it is a little warm yellow, but it is as clear as ever.
"Does the fourth child have someone he likes?" When Emperor Kangxi fell into silence, so did Yinzhen.It's just that Kangxi came back to his senses earlier than Yinzhen.Emperor Kangxi's experience enabled him to discover the reason for Yinzhen's soft gaze at this moment, even if he is not a favorite person, he must be a very cherished person.
Such a line of sight is rare.
Yinzhen looked back at Emperor Kangxi as usual, "I thought of Wen Liang and Hong Hui." It was not a lie.
Emperor Kangxi said in a loud voice, "These days are warm and cool but peaceful? Didn't you run out for fun?" This description made Yinzhen curious, "Mr. has been very quiet."
Emperor Kangxi laughed and said, "If he really looks the same, he is really a monkey." He smiled while talking, and his spirit was better than before.
Kangxi originally asked Yinzhen to come in to appease him, but he started chatting behind him instead.This kind of experience was also rare for the father and son. Emperor Kangxi didn't let him go until the afternoon after he stayed in the meal.
After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yinzhen didn't go back directly, but went back along the palace road. He just got Emperor Kangxi's permission and was planning to go to Yonghe Palace to visit Concubine De.Incidents happened one after another during this period, and Yinzhen had not seen his mother and concubine for three months.
Approaching the Yonghe Palace, Yinzhen saw Yinzhen coming out with his wife, the Wanyan family. When Yinzhen saw Yinzhen, he was stunned for a while, and then quickly let go of Wanyan's arm and took a few steps forward, "Fourth brother coming."
Seeing Yinzhen's tense feeling falling on Wanyan's body in Fuli behind him, Yinzhen immediately understood.Fourteen, are you worried that he will fall in love with the scene?
"I'll take a look at Er Niang." Yinzhen nodded lightly, and planned to go into the hall. Yinzhen hurriedly tugged on the sleeve of the fourth brother, and then said to Wanyan, "You go home first. stay."
Wan Yan is a gentle woman, she just smiled peacefully, then bowed and left.
Yinzhen said, "You don't have to stay here." Feeling Yinzhen's disgust, Yinzhen pouted dissatisfiedly, "I didn't stay here for the fourth brother." He left Yinzhen and went inside first, Left alone Yinzhen stood there for a long while, shaking his head amusingly.
Concubine De has not yet left the front hall, she was very surprised to see Yinzhen go and come back, and then she saw Yinzhen standing behind Yinzhen, "You two brothers have the same idea, and you came here today. Fourteen, what's the matter with you going back and forth?"
Yinzhen sat down on the side with a smile, "I miss Er Niang, and I think I have to see you again before going back. Wan Yan just felt unwell, so I asked her to go back first."
Concubine De frowned slightly, and asked worriedly, "Is something wrong?" Yinzhen brought her good news just now, Wanyan's family is pregnant.Although there was Yinzhen's eldest son in the front, the concubine's son was the most valued by Concubine De. Now that she got good news, how could Concubine De be unhappy.
It's just that when she saw Yinzhen sitting on the right, Concubine De's face changed imperceptibly. Yinzhen was wearing filial piety, and it was really inappropriate for Wanyan to bump into this matter when she went out.
The conversation between Yinzhen and Concubine De has always been neither salty nor bland, and after they finished speaking what they could say, they fell into silence.Fortunately, it's not embarrassing to have Yinzhen interrupting.
When Yinzhen said goodbye and was about to leave, Yinzhen also got up and planned to follow Yinzhen, but was detained by Concubine De.Yinzhen watched helplessly as his fourth brother left without mercy, and angrily stepped on Yinzhen a few times in his heart. If it wasn't for Yinzhen, he wouldn't have stuck him back. Annoyed?
Concubine De said persuasively, "Fourteen, don't get too close to the fourth child these days, he wears filial piety, and Wanyan's is pregnant with a child, so as not to bump into him."
Yinzhen didn't expect that Concubine De wanted to say this, so he frowned, "Emiang, this has nothing to do with the fourth brother. Wanyan's body is already weak, and the imperial doctor also said about it. This has nothing to do with the fourth brother." relation."
Concubine De patted him, and her fingertips hooked on the back of his hand, drawing a little red mark, which aroused Concubine De's worry, and it took a long time before she changed the subject, "Isn't Er Niang telling you to distance yourself from fourth child?" , why are you disobedient?"
Yinzhen bit her cheek, looking at Concubine De's appearance was a little strange, "Emiang, if you didn't use such a tone to say what Brother Si said, I would still believe it. I just don't understand, why do you hate Brother Si? ?”
Concubine De raised her brows upside down, and said, "Fourteen, what did you say! All the etiquette, righteousness, and shame taught by the Taifu have been eaten into the dog's belly?"
Yinzhen patted the armrest of the chair impatiently. Since this year, their mother and son have had such conversations. Yinzhen's ears are callused, but he can't let go, which makes Concubine De cry.I could only coax and coax with a smiling face, and felt exhausted physically and mentally when I came out.
It was really a stupid act to stay just now.
Yinzhen scolded himself for a while, and then went back to elder brother's place in silence.When she returned to the yard, Wanyan was doing stitch work for the child herself. Looking at Yinzhen's gloomy appearance when she came back, Wanyan put the things on the side and walked to Yinzhen and sat down, "Mr. What's going on here?"
Yinzhen raised his hand to stroke Wanyan's hair, and said in a low voice, "The relationship between Erniang and fourth brother..." Before he could finish his words, Wanyan already understood Yinzhen's meaning.
Concubine De's dislike for Yinzhen is not obvious, but subtle.But Wanyan's experience is very obvious in elder brother's place.Concubine De looks gentle, but in reality is cold, there are few people who can disturb her mood, and his master is one of them.When the master is around, the concubine de concubine is always gentler than before.
At that time, Wanyan knew that the fourth master was different from his family's master in the hearts of the concubine De.
It's just that, even though Wanyan knew about it, he couldn't say it out loud.She knew that Yinzhen knew it well, but as a person who enjoys exclusive favors, it is really too difficult to communicate with Yinzhen about this matter.
Wanyan said gently, "Master, fourth master is a few years older than you, and he is also a man with a broad mind. He will definitely not argue with you about this matter, and you don't have to worry too much."
Yinzhen impatiently tore off the purse from his waist and threw it on the table, "It would be great if it was that simple."
Erniang obviously had other thoughts in her heart, although Yinzhen couldn't see it clearly, she could feel it.I just hope that nothing really happens. Yinzhen's thoughts on Yinzhen are not as good as before, and now he treats each other sincerely as a brother. No matter what, he doesn't want to make any trouble.
On that side, Yinzhen's nose felt itchy until he returned home.Resisting the thought of sneezing, Yinzhen went directly to the outer study room, before taking off the white lantern along the way, Yinzhen stopped to look at it for a moment, thinking of Honghui.
"Su Peisheng, go and call Honghui here." Yinzhen made up his mind and walked to the study outside.
After a long while, Honghui's thin figure appeared at the door, and Yinzhen just raised his head, and his face was full of anger, "Your body is weak, and it was so easy to toss back, do you plan to toss back as much as possible?"
Honghui's face changed slightly, and he walked into the house with his head down, "Ama, baby..."
"Sit down and talk." Yinzhen closed the book in his hand, walked to the desk and sat down, and said softly.
Honghui sat down silently according to Yinzhen's words, with a slumped look devoid of energy, "My child is resting normally, and there is no serious problem."
Yinzhen snorted coldly, "Look at your appearance, do you seem normal?"
Hong Hui pursed his lips and remained silent.
Yinzhen covered up his emotions, "Are you still feeling guilty about your mother?" He didn't intend to hide it, so he simply opened up and spoke.
Honghui's lips were even whiter, and he looked pitifully huddled on the chair, "Ama, the baby is just... If it wasn't for the baby, Erniang wouldn't be..." He spoke intermittently, very difficult.
Yinzhen said, "That's the case, your mother is willing to exchange this, don't show such a timid attitude again! What your mother wants to see is a man who stands up to the sky, not you ruining your body like this." Rarely gentle The words of relief, speaking from the perspective of others, made Honghui's head no longer so low.
"Ama, how did you do it?" Honghui looked at Yinzhen, "My child still feels sad."
Yinzhen restrained his indifferent attitude, even if it was the truth.
"My mother-in-law and I are more like a cooperative relationship." Yinzhen suppressed the content that should not be told, and said frankly, "She needs a marriage, and I need an heir. But your birth is our responsibility. Everyone loves it, it has nothing to do with you."
Yinzhen really wanted to comfort Honghui, but he would not evade Honghui's question.These are the things Hong Hui should know in the future.The combination of the royal family has never been because of the so-called emotions.Those things are useless.
... Xu had to meet that person before he realized that some things were true.
Yinzhen didn't speak, and waited silently for Honghui to digest the conversation just now.The face of the child on the opposite side was shocked at first, then angry, and over time it turned into bewilderment, and finally calmed down again, "So the child is only what Amma needs?"
Yinzhen's fingertips danced on the table, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, "You are the eldest son, you should have your responsibilities. From tomorrow onwards, you will live in the outer study, and the affairs of the inner courtyard have nothing to do with you." There is no longer any owner in the main courtyard , Yinzhen will not hand over Honghui to others.
Honghui was very unwilling to get Yinzhen's answer positively, and only felt angry when he learned of Yinzhen's order.It's just that before he knew it, his eyes were full of agility, not as dark as before.
Su Peisheng's actions were quick, and everything was settled the next day, even if Honghui was reluctant, he had no choice but to enter.It took a few days to go to the upper study room, so Honghui stayed in the outer study room, so quiet and dull that the waiters worried, until one sunny day, which was a good day in early winter, and the people below persuaded him again and again, The reddest Hong Hui still moved.
It's just that it's moved from the outer study to the study building, the difference is not big, but it's going out anyway.
Hong Hui knew that there was a second floor in the library, but most of the books he wanted were down there. If it wasn't for occasional warmth, he would hardly go to the second floor.
When he arrived at the library, Hong Hui saw Lu Yi guarding the bottom, and knew that Wen Liang was also up there.Ever since Wen Liang began to avoid him, he had never been in contact with Wen Liang. Seeing that her husband did not avoid him this time, for some reason, Hong Hui felt better.
Lu Yi saluted Hong Hui, Hong Hui nodded half-heartedly, then waved his hands to let his people wait below, and went up to the second floor by himself.He knew that Mr. Wen had always disliked being followed by others, which made him develop a habit of not letting people get close to him.
Climbing up the stairs, Hong Hui saw Wen Liang sitting by the window in An Ran. For some reason, Hong Hui stood where he was, and suddenly burst into tears, unable to control himself.
Yinzhen was actually by the bookshelf, when he heard this sound suddenly, Wen Liang and him looked sideways, seeing Honghui, although Yinzhen didn't move, but he was happy in his heart.
Except for the day when Ulanara was buried, Honghui never cried, which is not a good thing.
Wen Wen hesitated for a moment, stood up from his original position, walked to Hong Hui, handed a white handkerchief to Hong Hui, "Wipe your tears." Although the voice was weak, it was faintly gentle in the depths.
Hong Hui didn't know if it was because he was thinking too much in confusion, or because he really got Wen Liang's attention.With a blushing face, he took the warm veil and wiped his face indiscriminately, then said shyly, "Ama, sir, Honghui has lost his composure." He saluted the two seriously.
After this short period of venting, Hong Hui found that his emotions had calmed down a bit, and thinking of Er Niang was no longer so distressing and uncomfortable, the vague pain still lingered, but it was no longer so tightly entangled.
Wen Liang nodded, and returned to the original position, making room for the father and son with a quiet look.He also thought about going downstairs, but it was more deliberate and would only embarrass Hong Hui.Although the Wenliang people are cold and cold, they can still do it if they can remember.
Honghui walked slowly in front of Yinzhen, showing embarrassment, "Ama..." The soft voice recovered.
Yin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't show it on his face, "Can I do my homework in the study?"
Seeing that Yinzhen didn't mention the loss of control just now, Honghui's complexion improved a bit, and he said seriously, "The child is already finished."
"Okay." Yinzhen nodded, and began to ask unequivocally.
Wen Liang was listening to the back and forth between the two of them, and suddenly felt that maybe it was a better choice for him to go downstairs just now, and it would be embarrassing to stay.He also never expected that Yinzhen would talk to Honghui directly like this.It's just that this is really a good thing for Hong Hui, just now when he lost control at that moment, Wen Liang felt the pressure accumulated on him.
It's a good thing to let it out.
Wen Liang rubbed the corner of the page with his fingertips, and when he finished the last line, Hong Hui happened to walk over. Yinzhen didn't stop Honghui from getting close to Wen Liang, not for himself, but Yinzhen noticed that Hong Hui had a crush on Wen Liang. The closeness, perhaps, is the memory of saving people back then.
Yinzhen took Su Peisheng away, Wen Liang watched his leaving back and thought silently, if he also left now, would Honghui cry again.
Hong Hui sat down opposite Wen Liang, just quietly watched Wen Liang reading a book, and waited until Wen Liang's attention fell on him before carefully saying, "Sir."
Wen Liang closed the book, and his cool eyes fell on Hong Hui, "The body is the most important thing."
Hong Hui pursed his lips, and he asked one thing carefully, "At the beginning, Mr. didn't want to meet with me, was it because of... Erniang?" Sure, shook his head annoyedly, "Sir, don't bother with me."
Wen Liang looked at him silently, then nodded, "That's true."
Hong Hui has been thinking about Ulanara these days, and misses him terribly.Then I also noticed some problems that I hadn't found before.The Wulanala family has always disliked warmth and coolness, if it is really because of this, Mr. Xu Shi may not be taboo.It's just that this was all his own thoughts, and the sudden affirmation by Wen Liang made Honghui a little dazed.
Wen Liang got up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the scenery outside and said indifferently, "Fu Jin is a good mother, she is just protecting you. It is really not a good thing to have too much contact with someone. Good contact."
Honghui frowned, and he couldn't agree with this, "I respect Mr.'s character, what does this have to do with this?"
Wen Liang said softly, "It's just that you have a big heart."
Hong Hui was not in danger, but he didn't know how to persuade Wen Liang. He was silent for a while, but Wen Liang came back from a stroll, cleaned up the things on the table and said softly, "No matter what others think of Fujin, to you, Fujin is very important. Good. That's what you need to remember."
Wen Liang's words seemed to contain deep meaning, Hong Hui sat on the spot and watched Wen Liang's fading figure, thinking for a long time in silence.A few days later, Honghui returned to the study room. Although he was quieter than usual, he recovered after all.
……
Wen Liang's life in the mansion was the same as before, and it seemed that there was no difference.
Luyi carefully made a new purse for Wenliang, then stood up and moved around in the yard.She has been serving Wen Liang for several years, and her husband's life has not changed much.Although there are thrilling things happening from time to time, they can often get through it safely.It often gives her the illusion that she will be like this in the future.
"Greenness."
Wen Liang called her from the house, Lu Yi hurried in, took the big cat from Wen Liang's hand, "Take her out, I want to practice calligraphy."
Although Wen Liang doesn't like water, but when Wen Liang is serious, he often likes to make trouble, not to mention playing with the paper on the table, even the inkstone in the corner often becomes the focus of the big cat's play, it's really annoying to watch.
Luyi smiled and took the big cat out, deciding to spend the rest of the time with her.
Inside the room, after Wen Liang finished grinding the ink, she inadvertently looked at the plum blossom spots in the corner of her eyes, shifted her gaze back, pretended not to know, and then touched a new piece of paper to write.
After half an hour, Wen Liang stopped his movements, and then squeezed his wrists, the gloom between his brows dissipated.
Lu Yi entered, followed by a dissatisfied big cat, "Sir, Lord Belle is here to invite you." Wen Liang frowned slightly, he just thought it was Yinzhen's business, but it was a coincidence.
Wen Liang had a conversation with Yinzhen, which started after Fujin's funeral.
Wen Liang wasn't questioning Yinzhen, but thought of this possibility when thinking about it, if Fujin's death was not artificial, then... After all, the timing was indeed too coincidental.
Yinzhen said calmly, "I have indeed thought about Fujin's problem and made some plans. It's just that these plans have nothing to do with the present." If Yinzhen saw this happening with his own eyes, he would feel the same way doubt.Even if it is small, it is a disadvantage if it exists.
Wen Liang said, "I didn't say anything." Yinzhen didn't need to explain to him.
Yinzhen shook his head and looked at him, with gentle brows, "Ulanara and I have our own interests in mind, and she never owed me. As for those small actions, since everyone has gone, it's fine. Other things, If you don't want to know, sir, I won't mention it."
He stood in the porch with his arms folded, looking at the moonlight with a clear and handsome appearance.Wen Liang recalled Fujin's appearance back then, no wonder she had Honghui in her mouth, but her thoughts were completely different.
It is true that Yinzhen never thought of abolishing his wife, Fujin was not at fault, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and Yinzhen never thought so extravagantly.As for the inner courtyard, he hasn't set foot in it for many years, it is not difficult for Yinzhen, some things are not impossible, it depends on whether you want to do it or not.
He fell in love with Wen Liang, but that's all. Before the big thing happened, if he really provoked Wen Liang, it would only be more dangerous for Wen Liang.Yinzhen is not a good person, but he can't pull the dangerous and muddy water like Wenliang Beach.
Over the past few years, there have been many people who have followed Yinzhen, but there has never been anyone who is as conscientious as Wen Liang, but who never asks for any price.Even though Wen Liang kept denying it, Yin Zhen was vaguely aware of Wen Liang's thoughts.It seems that the things that the world pursues are very indifferent to Wen Liang. If you have money, you will spend it on books, and if you have no money, you will be indifferent. Not to mention money and power, it is Huang Ama's favor, Wen Liang has always been calm.
He doesn't even care about his life, so what else can he care about?
He didn't have a bargaining chip to stay warm and cool.
At that moment, standing in the small courtyard and looking back at the cool Yinzhen, this insight was so clear and deeply rooted.
Wen Liang followed Su Peisheng to the outer study, Yinzhen was sitting at the desk with a stack of letters in his hand, although his expression remained the same, his face was serious.
"Master, did something happen in Jiangnan?" Wen Liang saw something in Yinzhen's hand at a glance, the letter was in Dai Duo's handwriting, and the place Dai Duo went to was Jiangnan.
Yinzhen nodded, and when Wen Liang sat down, Wu Sidao also walked over slowly, and after seeing the ceremony, he sat down beside Wen Liang.
Yinzhen gave the letter to Wen Liang to check. It was originally a secret letter sent by two different people, and it was Dai Duo's that Wen Liang saw first.
"...The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is getting more and more serious. The two imperial envoys have passed away for some reason...With the blessing of Long Live God during the southern tour, there is no way here..." Wen Liangsao was completely convinced, and immediately had a clear understanding of the situation at the moment, After exchanging letters with Wu Sidao, the content of this letter was compared with that of Dai Duo's letter.
The chaos in the Jiangnan officialdom has always been like this. Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin is an important minister of Kangxi, and he can be regarded as a famous minister, but there is also the phenomenon of shortfalls in Lianghuai salt and silver, let alone other Xiao Xiaoxiao.
Dai Duo did this, but he only informed the capital of the relevant content, so that Yinzhen would not know the situation in the south of the Yangtze River when he was about to move.Kangxi definitely knew the situation in Jiangnan, but now Kangxi is no longer as strict as before, and he is more gentle in doing things. Apart from emphasizing the throne, his political methods are gradually softening.
"What's your plan?" This is just a re-explaination of Jiangnan's affairs, and there is not much difference from the past. It is impossible for Yinzhen to call them here specially for this matter.
Yinzhen said gently, "Sir, you are right. The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is chaotic. It is difficult to break through the situation, but this is also the key point." There are quite a few people staring at it.
Wen Liang nodded, he knew Yinzhen's thoughts, now Yinzhen doesn't have much influence on the public, although there is a sticky place in private, but the sticky place can't be put on the public after all.A stronger deployment is still needed.
Yinzhen wanted to send another person to the south of the Yangtze River, and the candidate was him and Wu Sidao!
Wen Liang shook his head in his heart, reconfirming Yinzhen's meaning, this person must be Wu Sidao.Wen Liang has a special status, if he leaves Beijing, he will definitely attract the attention of Emperor Kangxi.What's more, Jiangnan is in a dangerous situation. Once this person leaves, the return date is uncertain, safety is unknown, and everything is uncertain.
But this might be an opportunity for Wen Liang.
Wen Liang said, "Is the master planning to send someone out of Beijing?" He looked back at Wu Sidao, and said calmly, "If so, I am willing to go."
Yinzhen's expression moved slightly, "Sir, do you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River?"
"If Master has a need, it should be so." Wen Liang said calmly.Wu Sidao's words should also have a place to go, Wen Liang noticed that the secret letter contained Yinzhen's layout for Jiangnan, if so, Wu Sidao's location, in fact, Yinzhen had already had an idea.It's just changed this time.
Wu Sidao said softly, "Brother Wen, Jiangnan is so dangerous, let Wu do it." He was born in Youmu, and knew the situation in Jiangnan better.
Wen Liang shook his head, he was not doing it for himself, "Now the situation is to be determined, Long Live God will kill chickens and monkeys, the situation is considered stable, and there will be no more big troubles in a short time. Right now most of the attention is on Jiangnan, if Jiangnan can be brought under the command of the Lord , It’s also a good thing for Grandpa.”
Although Yinzhen understood this, if Jiangnan was so easy, there wouldn't be so many troubles.
Wen Liang seemed to know what Yinzhen was thinking, and said, "Master has already made arrangements for Mr. Wu, since someone is there, why do you need to change it again? As for the danger, it is the same anywhere." His eyes were calm and indifferent , never wavered.
Yinzhen tightened his lips, "We'll discuss this matter later."
When Wen Liang came back from the outer study, he reached out and hugged the big cat that jumped towards him. When he sat down in the courtyard, Wen Liang patted his wrist in dissatisfaction, jumped onto the table and squatted down, and licked his neck. fluff.
Not long after, the relationship between Wen Liang and Big Cat changed again. The big cat tried everything possible to get Wen Liang's left hand, and then leisurely pressed his palm under Ruan Bobo's stomach, and happily lay on his side, hugging his tail Tips and kicks lively.
Wen Liang also followed her, her thoughts fell on today's unfinished meeting.It is not surprising that Yinzhen has this attitude.No matter from which aspect, if Wen Liang goes out of Beijing, it will be more dangerous.However, it was like this, Wen Liang had to leave Beijing.
When Wen Liang woke up from a coma that day, when he saw Yinzhen's tired and gentle gaze, he knew that he should leave, and the sooner the better.After Fujin's death, even during the filial piety period, according to Yinzhen's status, Kangxi should appoint a new candidate for him now.
However, it was peaceful and silent.
Wen Liang didn't believe that Yinzhen didn't do anything in it. Fujin's death was an accident, but the subsequent arrangement was not an accident.It is normal for Yinzhen to remarry after losing his wife, but if Yinzhen suppresses such thoughts for him, then Wen Liang cannot stay any longer.
A few days later, Yinzhen summoned Wen Liang again and agreed to the matter.
Another half a month later, when Wen Liang handed over the sign to the foreign office for the first time, half an hour had passed when he waited for the second floor to be handed over to the imperial court, and was summoned again.If the officials asked to see him in the early morning, they would have to go through such layers of procedures. If they could see each other, they would naturally act. If they couldn't, they could only go back home.
Wen Liang's special status made it very eye-catching to be among a group of officials. Before they entered the palace through Jingyun Gate, Liang Jiugong's figure hurriedly appeared at the door and took Wen Liang away.
The waiting officials looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they were honest on the surface, they actually had various thoughts in their minds, so I won't repeat them here.
Wen Liang quietly followed Liang Jiugong all the way to the Qing palace. Originally, he was not allowed to hand over the badge according to his identity, but Wen Liang took Yinzhen's certificate, and the palace knew that there was such a person, so the news was naturally transmitted quickly.
Emperor Kangxi sat at the head, and when he saw Wen Liang coming in, he threw a ball of paper on Wen Liang's head, "If I didn't summon you, you wouldn't know how to enter the palace to see me? I'm worried about you brat."
Since Wen Liang was injured, he has not entered the palace for several months.
Wen Liang leaned forward and said, "A certain person did."
"Seeing you like that makes me want to beat someone up, why don't you sit down quickly?" Emperor Kangxi stared, seeing Wen Liang's appearance as if he wanted to scold someone.Old God Wen Liang sat down on the ground, and then said, "I'm going to leave the palace in a few days, and I'm here to bid farewell today."
As soon as Kangxi picked up the teacup, he paused, "Wen Liang is leaving Beijing?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "That's true. A certain person wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River and return to his hometown along the water." The ability to tell nonsense with eyes open is lit up again.
Emperor Kangxi had many sons, but there were no unmarried princes.This serious wife is always different from a concubine's room, and now that a place has suddenly become vacant, this thoughtful person has started to move around.Of course there are risks, but those who can choose this method must also be aware of the risks.
There is always a price to pay for placing a bet, and now that Emperor Kangxi values Yinzhen a lot, it is not difficult to count seriously.After the [-]-day hot filial piety period passed, someone began to spy on the matter vaguely.
After the Manchus entered the customs, they were gradually sinicized by the Confucian culture of the Han people from the beginning of Shunzhi, and many customs have begun to differ.At least the customs of keeping filial piety and so on are the same.
Whether or not there is a mistress does affect Yinzhen, but he has already made up his mind that he will not marry again. Naturally, such a thing cannot happen, even a verbal agreement cannot be left behind.
As a result, the courtiers in the capital who wanted to establish a relationship with Yinzhen were shocked to find that Sibeile was becoming more and more difficult to contact.Not to mention talking face to face, even if there is any problem, they will wait until the air-conditioning is released and force them back.
It's just that they didn't know that it was them who pushed Yinzhen more and more towards the path of the cold-faced king.
Yinzhen's approach fell into the eyes of Emperor Kangxi, but it just fit his mind.
Emperor Kangxi has favored many princes over the years, such as Yinyin, Yinzhen, Yinzhen, etc... These have more or less received the attention of the emperor.For an emperor, there is nothing better than having many princes under his knees, but the same is true for bad things.
Emperor Kangxi didn't have much time to spend with his sons.
Those who like it are naturally quite doted on, and those who don't like it are rare to see each other in half a month.Emperor Kangxi was also a character of temperament, and he was very comfortable in this matter, and never obstructed him for any reason.
In recent years, Yinzhen has acted steadily and has a firm attitude. For Emperor Kangxi, the character of the fourth son is indeed rare, and he is not stingy in praise.It was only foreseeable that the prince who was valued by Emperor Kangxi would usually be followed by some people.
Kangxi is getting older, and the older he is, the less he can see forming a party for personal gain.Mingzhu was dealt with at the beginning, and Suo'etu was removed later, and even Longkodo was warned many times, but it was nothing more than that.
Emperor Kangxi liked Yinzhen's approach very much.
In October, the cold wind gradually picked up in central Beijing, and it began to approach winter.Yinzhen was stopped by Liang Jiugong when he was in court, and he bowed gently, "Lord Baylor, the emperor pleases."
Yinzhen, who was standing beside Yinzhen, shrugged, patted Yinzhen's shoulder, and left with Yinxiang.I don't know when, Yinzhen no longer had contact with Yinhu and others, even when they were in contact, they often walked with Yinxiang, and the people in the palace had long been used to this kind of scenery.
On the contrary, Yinzhen and Yin'e once had a quarrel with Yinzhen, and the three of them fought together. Yinxiang watched the battle for a while, and had to get involved in it, and finally got confinement by Emperor Kangxi.Since then, Yinzhen has never had contact with Yinzhen, Yin'e and the other two.
When Yinzhen heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he followed Liang Jiugong to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the censer in the corner smoked the ambergris that Emperor Kangxi liked these days, and the quiet fragrance was refreshing and refreshing.As soon as Yinzhen entered the room, he could smell this smell, just like Emperor Kangxi's state of mind during this period, it was very peaceful.
Emperor Kangxi was sitting softly looking at Zhezi, watching Yinzhen come in, and waved casually, "Stop being polite, just sit down." He motioned for the seat opposite with his chin, and then concentrated on looking at the book on Zhezi. After reading the text, take off your glasses.
Yinzhen, who was sitting across from him, kept watching quietly, but his eyes fell on the chessboard on the table. This chessboard has not changed even when Yinzhen came here many times. There is no dust on the clear chessboard, obviously someone has been wiping it all the time.
"Fourth, during this time, I think you are so tired that you can't stand upright in the hall." Emperor Kangxi's words seemed to reprimand, but there was some concern in them.
There are indeed a lot of things that Yinzhen has to do in the past few days, even the funeral some time ago is enough to consume his energy.Emperor Kangxi also knew that these words were just the beginning, and he waved his hands after listening to Yinzhen's mild words, "I have heard enough of these polite words. How is Honghui?"
Yinzhen said, "It's all over."
Emperor Kangxi's words contained deep meaning, "Honghui is young, so you can't blame him for this matter. You can't blame him for everything."
After all, Fujin collapsed while taking care of Honghui. Even if what really caused her death was an old disease caused by overwork, Honghui still blamed himself for the cause. These days are indeed too sad and unable to control himself.
Yinzhen nodded, "Of course this matter has nothing to do with him. I will pay more attention to it."
Emperor Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. He still had a good impression of Honghui, the emperor's grandson, and he was also a top-notch when he was in the study. If something happened because of this, it would not be considered beautiful.
"Your mother told me that there needs to be a head of the house after all, what do you think?" Emperor Kangxi said casually, falling on this question inadvertently.
Yinzhen's expression moved slightly, and he said seriously, "Huang Ama, my son doesn't want to remarry too early, it's not a good thing for Honghui."
Emperor Kangxi was about to say something, but stopped when he thought of Hong Hui's appearance, "Forget it, your marriage is not in a hurry, and now it's in the filial piety." He said with a waned look, as if he had remembered something.
Yinzhen noticed that Emperor Kangxi was looking at the chessboard unconsciously, and after thinking of something, he suddenly knew who Emperor Kangxi was thinking of at the moment.
Xu is Princess Heshuo Heshun.
He didn't tell Yinzhen everything about how Wen Liang got along with Emperor Kangxi when he entered the palace, but Yinzhen knew most of the content.After all, when there are important matters, Wen Liang never shy away from telling them.
Therefore, Yinzhen knew that Emperor Kangxi's favorite thing to do was to play chess with Wen Liang.This is indeed a toss for Wen Liang.
Yinzhen didn't know how to get the news that Wen Liang was good at playing chess, it seemed to have been there since Wen Liang first entered the mansion, and this was also Yinzhen's surprise at Wen Liang's backgammon when they played chess for the first time.
Wen Liang's chess moves are safe, but occasionally he prefers to use the sword to take the edge, bringing about unknown changes, like a stroke of magic.It was in keeping with his character to go straight to the point where the evidence led him to a conclusion, without fear.
From the very beginning, Wen Liang was revealed in front of Yinzhen as calmly as a blank sheet of paper.But this piece of white paper rejects any ink stains intended to contaminate it, and now it is a little warm yellow, but it is as clear as ever.
"Does the fourth child have someone he likes?" When Emperor Kangxi fell into silence, so did Yinzhen.It's just that Kangxi came back to his senses earlier than Yinzhen.Emperor Kangxi's experience enabled him to discover the reason for Yinzhen's soft gaze at this moment, even if he is not a favorite person, he must be a very cherished person.
Such a line of sight is rare.
Yinzhen looked back at Emperor Kangxi as usual, "I thought of Wen Liang and Hong Hui." It was not a lie.
Emperor Kangxi said in a loud voice, "These days are warm and cool but peaceful? Didn't you run out for fun?" This description made Yinzhen curious, "Mr. has been very quiet."
Emperor Kangxi laughed and said, "If he really looks the same, he is really a monkey." He smiled while talking, and his spirit was better than before.
Kangxi originally asked Yinzhen to come in to appease him, but he started chatting behind him instead.This kind of experience was also rare for the father and son. Emperor Kangxi didn't let him go until the afternoon after he stayed in the meal.
After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yinzhen didn't go back directly, but went back along the palace road. He just got Emperor Kangxi's permission and was planning to go to Yonghe Palace to visit Concubine De.Incidents happened one after another during this period, and Yinzhen had not seen his mother and concubine for three months.
Approaching the Yonghe Palace, Yinzhen saw Yinzhen coming out with his wife, the Wanyan family. When Yinzhen saw Yinzhen, he was stunned for a while, and then quickly let go of Wanyan's arm and took a few steps forward, "Fourth brother coming."
Seeing Yinzhen's tense feeling falling on Wanyan's body in Fuli behind him, Yinzhen immediately understood.Fourteen, are you worried that he will fall in love with the scene?
"I'll take a look at Er Niang." Yinzhen nodded lightly, and planned to go into the hall. Yinzhen hurriedly tugged on the sleeve of the fourth brother, and then said to Wanyan, "You go home first. stay."
Wan Yan is a gentle woman, she just smiled peacefully, then bowed and left.
Yinzhen said, "You don't have to stay here." Feeling Yinzhen's disgust, Yinzhen pouted dissatisfiedly, "I didn't stay here for the fourth brother." He left Yinzhen and went inside first, Left alone Yinzhen stood there for a long while, shaking his head amusingly.
Concubine De has not yet left the front hall, she was very surprised to see Yinzhen go and come back, and then she saw Yinzhen standing behind Yinzhen, "You two brothers have the same idea, and you came here today. Fourteen, what's the matter with you going back and forth?"
Yinzhen sat down on the side with a smile, "I miss Er Niang, and I think I have to see you again before going back. Wan Yan just felt unwell, so I asked her to go back first."
Concubine De frowned slightly, and asked worriedly, "Is something wrong?" Yinzhen brought her good news just now, Wanyan's family is pregnant.Although there was Yinzhen's eldest son in the front, the concubine's son was the most valued by Concubine De. Now that she got good news, how could Concubine De be unhappy.
It's just that when she saw Yinzhen sitting on the right, Concubine De's face changed imperceptibly. Yinzhen was wearing filial piety, and it was really inappropriate for Wanyan to bump into this matter when she went out.
The conversation between Yinzhen and Concubine De has always been neither salty nor bland, and after they finished speaking what they could say, they fell into silence.Fortunately, it's not embarrassing to have Yinzhen interrupting.
When Yinzhen said goodbye and was about to leave, Yinzhen also got up and planned to follow Yinzhen, but was detained by Concubine De.Yinzhen watched helplessly as his fourth brother left without mercy, and angrily stepped on Yinzhen a few times in his heart. If it wasn't for Yinzhen, he wouldn't have stuck him back. Annoyed?
Concubine De said persuasively, "Fourteen, don't get too close to the fourth child these days, he wears filial piety, and Wanyan's is pregnant with a child, so as not to bump into him."
Yinzhen didn't expect that Concubine De wanted to say this, so he frowned, "Emiang, this has nothing to do with the fourth brother. Wanyan's body is already weak, and the imperial doctor also said about it. This has nothing to do with the fourth brother." relation."
Concubine De patted him, and her fingertips hooked on the back of his hand, drawing a little red mark, which aroused Concubine De's worry, and it took a long time before she changed the subject, "Isn't Er Niang telling you to distance yourself from fourth child?" , why are you disobedient?"
Yinzhen bit her cheek, looking at Concubine De's appearance was a little strange, "Emiang, if you didn't use such a tone to say what Brother Si said, I would still believe it. I just don't understand, why do you hate Brother Si? ?”
Concubine De raised her brows upside down, and said, "Fourteen, what did you say! All the etiquette, righteousness, and shame taught by the Taifu have been eaten into the dog's belly?"
Yinzhen patted the armrest of the chair impatiently. Since this year, their mother and son have had such conversations. Yinzhen's ears are callused, but he can't let go, which makes Concubine De cry.I could only coax and coax with a smiling face, and felt exhausted physically and mentally when I came out.
It was really a stupid act to stay just now.
Yinzhen scolded himself for a while, and then went back to elder brother's place in silence.When she returned to the yard, Wanyan was doing stitch work for the child herself. Looking at Yinzhen's gloomy appearance when she came back, Wanyan put the things on the side and walked to Yinzhen and sat down, "Mr. What's going on here?"
Yinzhen raised his hand to stroke Wanyan's hair, and said in a low voice, "The relationship between Erniang and fourth brother..." Before he could finish his words, Wanyan already understood Yinzhen's meaning.
Concubine De's dislike for Yinzhen is not obvious, but subtle.But Wanyan's experience is very obvious in elder brother's place.Concubine De looks gentle, but in reality is cold, there are few people who can disturb her mood, and his master is one of them.When the master is around, the concubine de concubine is always gentler than before.
At that time, Wanyan knew that the fourth master was different from his family's master in the hearts of the concubine De.
It's just that, even though Wanyan knew about it, he couldn't say it out loud.She knew that Yinzhen knew it well, but as a person who enjoys exclusive favors, it is really too difficult to communicate with Yinzhen about this matter.
Wanyan said gently, "Master, fourth master is a few years older than you, and he is also a man with a broad mind. He will definitely not argue with you about this matter, and you don't have to worry too much."
Yinzhen impatiently tore off the purse from his waist and threw it on the table, "It would be great if it was that simple."
Erniang obviously had other thoughts in her heart, although Yinzhen couldn't see it clearly, she could feel it.I just hope that nothing really happens. Yinzhen's thoughts on Yinzhen are not as good as before, and now he treats each other sincerely as a brother. No matter what, he doesn't want to make any trouble.
On that side, Yinzhen's nose felt itchy until he returned home.Resisting the thought of sneezing, Yinzhen went directly to the outer study room, before taking off the white lantern along the way, Yinzhen stopped to look at it for a moment, thinking of Honghui.
"Su Peisheng, go and call Honghui here." Yinzhen made up his mind and walked to the study outside.
After a long while, Honghui's thin figure appeared at the door, and Yinzhen just raised his head, and his face was full of anger, "Your body is weak, and it was so easy to toss back, do you plan to toss back as much as possible?"
Honghui's face changed slightly, and he walked into the house with his head down, "Ama, baby..."
"Sit down and talk." Yinzhen closed the book in his hand, walked to the desk and sat down, and said softly.
Honghui sat down silently according to Yinzhen's words, with a slumped look devoid of energy, "My child is resting normally, and there is no serious problem."
Yinzhen snorted coldly, "Look at your appearance, do you seem normal?"
Hong Hui pursed his lips and remained silent.
Yinzhen covered up his emotions, "Are you still feeling guilty about your mother?" He didn't intend to hide it, so he simply opened up and spoke.
Honghui's lips were even whiter, and he looked pitifully huddled on the chair, "Ama, the baby is just... If it wasn't for the baby, Erniang wouldn't be..." He spoke intermittently, very difficult.
Yinzhen said, "That's the case, your mother is willing to exchange this, don't show such a timid attitude again! What your mother wants to see is a man who stands up to the sky, not you ruining your body like this." Rarely gentle The words of relief, speaking from the perspective of others, made Honghui's head no longer so low.
"Ama, how did you do it?" Honghui looked at Yinzhen, "My child still feels sad."
Yinzhen restrained his indifferent attitude, even if it was the truth.
"My mother-in-law and I are more like a cooperative relationship." Yinzhen suppressed the content that should not be told, and said frankly, "She needs a marriage, and I need an heir. But your birth is our responsibility. Everyone loves it, it has nothing to do with you."
Yinzhen really wanted to comfort Honghui, but he would not evade Honghui's question.These are the things Hong Hui should know in the future.The combination of the royal family has never been because of the so-called emotions.Those things are useless.
... Xu had to meet that person before he realized that some things were true.
Yinzhen didn't speak, and waited silently for Honghui to digest the conversation just now.The face of the child on the opposite side was shocked at first, then angry, and over time it turned into bewilderment, and finally calmed down again, "So the child is only what Amma needs?"
Yinzhen's fingertips danced on the table, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, "You are the eldest son, you should have your responsibilities. From tomorrow onwards, you will live in the outer study, and the affairs of the inner courtyard have nothing to do with you." There is no longer any owner in the main courtyard , Yinzhen will not hand over Honghui to others.
Honghui was very unwilling to get Yinzhen's answer positively, and only felt angry when he learned of Yinzhen's order.It's just that before he knew it, his eyes were full of agility, not as dark as before.
Su Peisheng's actions were quick, and everything was settled the next day, even if Honghui was reluctant, he had no choice but to enter.It took a few days to go to the upper study room, so Honghui stayed in the outer study room, so quiet and dull that the waiters worried, until one sunny day, which was a good day in early winter, and the people below persuaded him again and again, The reddest Hong Hui still moved.
It's just that it's moved from the outer study to the study building, the difference is not big, but it's going out anyway.
Hong Hui knew that there was a second floor in the library, but most of the books he wanted were down there. If it wasn't for occasional warmth, he would hardly go to the second floor.
When he arrived at the library, Hong Hui saw Lu Yi guarding the bottom, and knew that Wen Liang was also up there.Ever since Wen Liang began to avoid him, he had never been in contact with Wen Liang. Seeing that her husband did not avoid him this time, for some reason, Hong Hui felt better.
Lu Yi saluted Hong Hui, Hong Hui nodded half-heartedly, then waved his hands to let his people wait below, and went up to the second floor by himself.He knew that Mr. Wen had always disliked being followed by others, which made him develop a habit of not letting people get close to him.
Climbing up the stairs, Hong Hui saw Wen Liang sitting by the window in An Ran. For some reason, Hong Hui stood where he was, and suddenly burst into tears, unable to control himself.
Yinzhen was actually by the bookshelf, when he heard this sound suddenly, Wen Liang and him looked sideways, seeing Honghui, although Yinzhen didn't move, but he was happy in his heart.
Except for the day when Ulanara was buried, Honghui never cried, which is not a good thing.
Wen Wen hesitated for a moment, stood up from his original position, walked to Hong Hui, handed a white handkerchief to Hong Hui, "Wipe your tears." Although the voice was weak, it was faintly gentle in the depths.
Hong Hui didn't know if it was because he was thinking too much in confusion, or because he really got Wen Liang's attention.With a blushing face, he took the warm veil and wiped his face indiscriminately, then said shyly, "Ama, sir, Honghui has lost his composure." He saluted the two seriously.
After this short period of venting, Hong Hui found that his emotions had calmed down a bit, and thinking of Er Niang was no longer so distressing and uncomfortable, the vague pain still lingered, but it was no longer so tightly entangled.
Wen Liang nodded, and returned to the original position, making room for the father and son with a quiet look.He also thought about going downstairs, but it was more deliberate and would only embarrass Hong Hui.Although the Wenliang people are cold and cold, they can still do it if they can remember.
Honghui walked slowly in front of Yinzhen, showing embarrassment, "Ama..." The soft voice recovered.
Yin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't show it on his face, "Can I do my homework in the study?"
Seeing that Yinzhen didn't mention the loss of control just now, Honghui's complexion improved a bit, and he said seriously, "The child is already finished."
"Okay." Yinzhen nodded, and began to ask unequivocally.
Wen Liang was listening to the back and forth between the two of them, and suddenly felt that maybe it was a better choice for him to go downstairs just now, and it would be embarrassing to stay.He also never expected that Yinzhen would talk to Honghui directly like this.It's just that this is really a good thing for Hong Hui, just now when he lost control at that moment, Wen Liang felt the pressure accumulated on him.
It's a good thing to let it out.
Wen Liang rubbed the corner of the page with his fingertips, and when he finished the last line, Hong Hui happened to walk over. Yinzhen didn't stop Honghui from getting close to Wen Liang, not for himself, but Yinzhen noticed that Hong Hui had a crush on Wen Liang. The closeness, perhaps, is the memory of saving people back then.
Yinzhen took Su Peisheng away, Wen Liang watched his leaving back and thought silently, if he also left now, would Honghui cry again.
Hong Hui sat down opposite Wen Liang, just quietly watched Wen Liang reading a book, and waited until Wen Liang's attention fell on him before carefully saying, "Sir."
Wen Liang closed the book, and his cool eyes fell on Hong Hui, "The body is the most important thing."
Hong Hui pursed his lips, and he asked one thing carefully, "At the beginning, Mr. didn't want to meet with me, was it because of... Erniang?" Sure, shook his head annoyedly, "Sir, don't bother with me."
Wen Liang looked at him silently, then nodded, "That's true."
Hong Hui has been thinking about Ulanara these days, and misses him terribly.Then I also noticed some problems that I hadn't found before.The Wulanala family has always disliked warmth and coolness, if it is really because of this, Mr. Xu Shi may not be taboo.It's just that this was all his own thoughts, and the sudden affirmation by Wen Liang made Honghui a little dazed.
Wen Liang got up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the scenery outside and said indifferently, "Fu Jin is a good mother, she is just protecting you. It is really not a good thing to have too much contact with someone. Good contact."
Honghui frowned, and he couldn't agree with this, "I respect Mr.'s character, what does this have to do with this?"
Wen Liang said softly, "It's just that you have a big heart."
Hong Hui was not in danger, but he didn't know how to persuade Wen Liang. He was silent for a while, but Wen Liang came back from a stroll, cleaned up the things on the table and said softly, "No matter what others think of Fujin, to you, Fujin is very important. Good. That's what you need to remember."
Wen Liang's words seemed to contain deep meaning, Hong Hui sat on the spot and watched Wen Liang's fading figure, thinking for a long time in silence.A few days later, Honghui returned to the study room. Although he was quieter than usual, he recovered after all.
……
Wen Liang's life in the mansion was the same as before, and it seemed that there was no difference.
Luyi carefully made a new purse for Wenliang, then stood up and moved around in the yard.She has been serving Wen Liang for several years, and her husband's life has not changed much.Although there are thrilling things happening from time to time, they can often get through it safely.It often gives her the illusion that she will be like this in the future.
"Greenness."
Wen Liang called her from the house, Lu Yi hurried in, took the big cat from Wen Liang's hand, "Take her out, I want to practice calligraphy."
Although Wen Liang doesn't like water, but when Wen Liang is serious, he often likes to make trouble, not to mention playing with the paper on the table, even the inkstone in the corner often becomes the focus of the big cat's play, it's really annoying to watch.
Luyi smiled and took the big cat out, deciding to spend the rest of the time with her.
Inside the room, after Wen Liang finished grinding the ink, she inadvertently looked at the plum blossom spots in the corner of her eyes, shifted her gaze back, pretended not to know, and then touched a new piece of paper to write.
After half an hour, Wen Liang stopped his movements, and then squeezed his wrists, the gloom between his brows dissipated.
Lu Yi entered, followed by a dissatisfied big cat, "Sir, Lord Belle is here to invite you." Wen Liang frowned slightly, he just thought it was Yinzhen's business, but it was a coincidence.
Wen Liang had a conversation with Yinzhen, which started after Fujin's funeral.
Wen Liang wasn't questioning Yinzhen, but thought of this possibility when thinking about it, if Fujin's death was not artificial, then... After all, the timing was indeed too coincidental.
Yinzhen said calmly, "I have indeed thought about Fujin's problem and made some plans. It's just that these plans have nothing to do with the present." If Yinzhen saw this happening with his own eyes, he would feel the same way doubt.Even if it is small, it is a disadvantage if it exists.
Wen Liang said, "I didn't say anything." Yinzhen didn't need to explain to him.
Yinzhen shook his head and looked at him, with gentle brows, "Ulanara and I have our own interests in mind, and she never owed me. As for those small actions, since everyone has gone, it's fine. Other things, If you don't want to know, sir, I won't mention it."
He stood in the porch with his arms folded, looking at the moonlight with a clear and handsome appearance.Wen Liang recalled Fujin's appearance back then, no wonder she had Honghui in her mouth, but her thoughts were completely different.
It is true that Yinzhen never thought of abolishing his wife, Fujin was not at fault, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and Yinzhen never thought so extravagantly.As for the inner courtyard, he hasn't set foot in it for many years, it is not difficult for Yinzhen, some things are not impossible, it depends on whether you want to do it or not.
He fell in love with Wen Liang, but that's all. Before the big thing happened, if he really provoked Wen Liang, it would only be more dangerous for Wen Liang.Yinzhen is not a good person, but he can't pull the dangerous and muddy water like Wenliang Beach.
Over the past few years, there have been many people who have followed Yinzhen, but there has never been anyone who is as conscientious as Wen Liang, but who never asks for any price.Even though Wen Liang kept denying it, Yin Zhen was vaguely aware of Wen Liang's thoughts.It seems that the things that the world pursues are very indifferent to Wen Liang. If you have money, you will spend it on books, and if you have no money, you will be indifferent. Not to mention money and power, it is Huang Ama's favor, Wen Liang has always been calm.
He doesn't even care about his life, so what else can he care about?
He didn't have a bargaining chip to stay warm and cool.
At that moment, standing in the small courtyard and looking back at the cool Yinzhen, this insight was so clear and deeply rooted.
Wen Liang followed Su Peisheng to the outer study, Yinzhen was sitting at the desk with a stack of letters in his hand, although his expression remained the same, his face was serious.
"Master, did something happen in Jiangnan?" Wen Liang saw something in Yinzhen's hand at a glance, the letter was in Dai Duo's handwriting, and the place Dai Duo went to was Jiangnan.
Yinzhen nodded, and when Wen Liang sat down, Wu Sidao also walked over slowly, and after seeing the ceremony, he sat down beside Wen Liang.
Yinzhen gave the letter to Wen Liang to check. It was originally a secret letter sent by two different people, and it was Dai Duo's that Wen Liang saw first.
"...The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is getting more and more serious. The two imperial envoys have passed away for some reason...With the blessing of Long Live God during the southern tour, there is no way here..." Wen Liangsao was completely convinced, and immediately had a clear understanding of the situation at the moment, After exchanging letters with Wu Sidao, the content of this letter was compared with that of Dai Duo's letter.
The chaos in the Jiangnan officialdom has always been like this. Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin is an important minister of Kangxi, and he can be regarded as a famous minister, but there is also the phenomenon of shortfalls in Lianghuai salt and silver, let alone other Xiao Xiaoxiao.
Dai Duo did this, but he only informed the capital of the relevant content, so that Yinzhen would not know the situation in the south of the Yangtze River when he was about to move.Kangxi definitely knew the situation in Jiangnan, but now Kangxi is no longer as strict as before, and he is more gentle in doing things. Apart from emphasizing the throne, his political methods are gradually softening.
"What's your plan?" This is just a re-explaination of Jiangnan's affairs, and there is not much difference from the past. It is impossible for Yinzhen to call them here specially for this matter.
Yinzhen said gently, "Sir, you are right. The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is chaotic. It is difficult to break through the situation, but this is also the key point." There are quite a few people staring at it.
Wen Liang nodded, he knew Yinzhen's thoughts, now Yinzhen doesn't have much influence on the public, although there is a sticky place in private, but the sticky place can't be put on the public after all.A stronger deployment is still needed.
Yinzhen wanted to send another person to the south of the Yangtze River, and the candidate was him and Wu Sidao!
Wen Liang shook his head in his heart, reconfirming Yinzhen's meaning, this person must be Wu Sidao.Wen Liang has a special status, if he leaves Beijing, he will definitely attract the attention of Emperor Kangxi.What's more, Jiangnan is in a dangerous situation. Once this person leaves, the return date is uncertain, safety is unknown, and everything is uncertain.
But this might be an opportunity for Wen Liang.
Wen Liang said, "Is the master planning to send someone out of Beijing?" He looked back at Wu Sidao, and said calmly, "If so, I am willing to go."
Yinzhen's expression moved slightly, "Sir, do you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River?"
"If Master has a need, it should be so." Wen Liang said calmly.Wu Sidao's words should also have a place to go, Wen Liang noticed that the secret letter contained Yinzhen's layout for Jiangnan, if so, Wu Sidao's location, in fact, Yinzhen had already had an idea.It's just changed this time.
Wu Sidao said softly, "Brother Wen, Jiangnan is so dangerous, let Wu do it." He was born in Youmu, and knew the situation in Jiangnan better.
Wen Liang shook his head, he was not doing it for himself, "Now the situation is to be determined, Long Live God will kill chickens and monkeys, the situation is considered stable, and there will be no more big troubles in a short time. Right now most of the attention is on Jiangnan, if Jiangnan can be brought under the command of the Lord , It’s also a good thing for Grandpa.”
Although Yinzhen understood this, if Jiangnan was so easy, there wouldn't be so many troubles.
Wen Liang seemed to know what Yinzhen was thinking, and said, "Master has already made arrangements for Mr. Wu, since someone is there, why do you need to change it again? As for the danger, it is the same anywhere." His eyes were calm and indifferent , never wavered.
Yinzhen tightened his lips, "We'll discuss this matter later."
When Wen Liang came back from the outer study, he reached out and hugged the big cat that jumped towards him. When he sat down in the courtyard, Wen Liang patted his wrist in dissatisfaction, jumped onto the table and squatted down, and licked his neck. fluff.
Not long after, the relationship between Wen Liang and Big Cat changed again. The big cat tried everything possible to get Wen Liang's left hand, and then leisurely pressed his palm under Ruan Bobo's stomach, and happily lay on his side, hugging his tail Tips and kicks lively.
Wen Liang also followed her, her thoughts fell on today's unfinished meeting.It is not surprising that Yinzhen has this attitude.No matter from which aspect, if Wen Liang goes out of Beijing, it will be more dangerous.However, it was like this, Wen Liang had to leave Beijing.
When Wen Liang woke up from a coma that day, when he saw Yinzhen's tired and gentle gaze, he knew that he should leave, and the sooner the better.After Fujin's death, even during the filial piety period, according to Yinzhen's status, Kangxi should appoint a new candidate for him now.
However, it was peaceful and silent.
Wen Liang didn't believe that Yinzhen didn't do anything in it. Fujin's death was an accident, but the subsequent arrangement was not an accident.It is normal for Yinzhen to remarry after losing his wife, but if Yinzhen suppresses such thoughts for him, then Wen Liang cannot stay any longer.
A few days later, Yinzhen summoned Wen Liang again and agreed to the matter.
Another half a month later, when Wen Liang handed over the sign to the foreign office for the first time, half an hour had passed when he waited for the second floor to be handed over to the imperial court, and was summoned again.If the officials asked to see him in the early morning, they would have to go through such layers of procedures. If they could see each other, they would naturally act. If they couldn't, they could only go back home.
Wen Liang's special status made it very eye-catching to be among a group of officials. Before they entered the palace through Jingyun Gate, Liang Jiugong's figure hurriedly appeared at the door and took Wen Liang away.
The waiting officials looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they were honest on the surface, they actually had various thoughts in their minds, so I won't repeat them here.
Wen Liang quietly followed Liang Jiugong all the way to the Qing palace. Originally, he was not allowed to hand over the badge according to his identity, but Wen Liang took Yinzhen's certificate, and the palace knew that there was such a person, so the news was naturally transmitted quickly.
Emperor Kangxi sat at the head, and when he saw Wen Liang coming in, he threw a ball of paper on Wen Liang's head, "If I didn't summon you, you wouldn't know how to enter the palace to see me? I'm worried about you brat."
Since Wen Liang was injured, he has not entered the palace for several months.
Wen Liang leaned forward and said, "A certain person did."
"Seeing you like that makes me want to beat someone up, why don't you sit down quickly?" Emperor Kangxi stared, seeing Wen Liang's appearance as if he wanted to scold someone.Old God Wen Liang sat down on the ground, and then said, "I'm going to leave the palace in a few days, and I'm here to bid farewell today."
As soon as Kangxi picked up the teacup, he paused, "Wen Liang is leaving Beijing?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "That's true. A certain person wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River and return to his hometown along the water." The ability to tell nonsense with eyes open is lit up again.
