[Yongzheng x Nian Gengyao] overwhelmed the world

Yinzhen followed Nian Gengyao all the way, and finally arrived at the Governor's Yamen.There was already chaos in the yamen, and the governor went out on a tour without his entourage, and he didn't return for many days. The frightened He Cheng and other officials who stayed behind almost didn't go to the court.

But now not only is Nian adults back intact, but he also brought back a strange man in fine clothes, which aroused everyone's discussion.

Nian Gengyao sat upright in the hall and clapped his hands, the noisy officials immediately fell silent.

He pulled Yinzhen over and said to everyone in the hall: "This is Mr. Yin Siyin, the sworn elder brother of my Nian Gengyao."

As soon as this remark came out, it caused a lot of commotion.He Cheng was the first to make a fuss: "I've never heard of Mr. Nian sworn brothers. Why did he bring a brother back during his tour this time?"

Nian Gengyao was annoyed by their quarreling, he slapped the table and was about to give them some flair, but Yinzhen spoke first: "I know you, for my righteous brother, who is Mr. Nian , has always been quite critical, and feels that his actions are different from those of his predecessors. But let me ask you, can all waters be turbid and can only flow together? Isn't a governor who is clean, honest and considerate of the people worthy of your praise?"

"Who are you, you can also come to our governor's office to speak?" Someone questioned from below.

"I, Yin Si, am an ordinary citizen, and also a citizen of our Qing Dynasty. Could it be that you can't speak if you have something to say, and you, parents and officials, can't listen to what you have to say?" Yinzhen's words were loud and loud.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Nian Gengyao pulled Yinzhen over, and Qi Qi walked out: "Let's go, let them say."

Yinzhen followed Nian Gengyao wandering around the huge governor's office, and caught a glimpse of a bow and arrow with a little dust in the corner.

The Aixinjueluo family has always claimed to be able to conquer the world on horseback. In the current Kangxi Dynasty, they value the princes' riding and shooting skills even more.Yinzhen's archery skills are not outstanding among all the brothers, but he suddenly became interested at this moment, and thought that Nian Gengyao was born as a Jinshi, so he must not be good at riding and shooting, but he didn't know how good his archery skills were. , so he decided to compete with him.

Nian Gengyao saw that he gradually slowed down, and saw him staring intently at the pair of bows and arrows. He had some ideas in his mind: "Brother, do you want to learn archery with me?"

Seeing that Nian Gengyao had pierced his mind, Yinzhen no longer hid it, stepped forward with a big stride, and took down the pair of black lacquered and gold silk bows, which were still a bit heavy, quite a test of arm strength.

Nian Gengyao took the quiver from behind, pulled out a feathered arrow and handed it to Yinzhen.Yinzhen placed the arrow on the bow, holding the bow in his left hand and nocking the arrow in his right hand. He stood with his feet slightly apart, narrowed his eyes, and the bow string slightly brushed against his thumb wearing a ruby ​​wrench. The moment he let go, he said Sooner or later, the arrow that left the string was like a chick leaving the nest. It raised its wings to find the direction, and landed with a "bang" on the red heart of the grass target not far away with lightning speed.

Following the shooting and falling of the arrow, Nian Gengyao clapped his hands and applauded: "Brother is good at arrows, crisp and neat."

Yinzhen handed the bow to Nian Gengyao casually, smiled slyly, and said, "I wonder how Mr. Nian's arrow skills are?"

Nian Gengyao took another arrow from his quiver, and was about to draw the bow, when Yinzhen stopped him: "Just shooting arrows is boring, why don't we compete."

Not only did Nian Gengyao not flinch, but he became even more excited, saying: "This is a good proposal. Compared with arrows, there are winners and losers. So what if you lose, and what if you win?"

Yinzhen raised the wrench on his thumb and said triumphantly, "This ruby ​​wrench is worth eight thousand if not ten thousand. If I lose, I will give it to you."

"What if I lose?" Nian Gengyao asked again.

"You have never learned riding and archery. This competition is not very fair. If you lose, you don't have to give anything. This is a business that makes no money. You don't want to do it?" Yinzhen silently turned the finger wrench .

"Of course not, elder brother please first." Nian Gengyao took out ten arrows as he said, and presented them in front of Yinzhen with a flick of his wrist.

Xu Zhen fired several arrows in succession, and nine arrows hit the bull's-eye in the blink of an eye.

Nian Gengyao clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "I didn't expect your archery skills to reach perfection, brother."

Yinzhen hit nine arrows in a row, and he was a little complacent, but seeing Nian Gengyao's praise, he was even more happy, and a little slack, the tenth arrow missed the target.

Yinzhen slapped his thigh regretfully: "It's just a little short."

Nian Gengyao unhurriedly pulled the nine arrows from the archery butt one by one, and said comfortingly, "Nine arrows, Nian also thinks that Li Guang is reborn."

When Yinzhen was feeling remorseful, he saw Nian Gengyao standing alone at the place where Yinzhen had just stood, with his bow and arrows outstretched, showing a heroic appearance.

Seeing that his expression was calm and his behavior was sophisticated, Xu Zhen was not at all like a literati who had never touched arrows and crossbows, so he was surprised: "Could it be that Shuangfeng also learned how to ride and shoot?"

But Nian Gengyao shook his head and said, "My father only taught me some sword skills, but I've never learned about riding and shooting."

But he stood upright, and his hand holding the arrow was steady. With a few "swipes, swishes—" the feathered arrows whizzed past, and in a blink of an eye, ten long arrows stood impressively on the red heart on the opposite target.

Yin Zhen's eyes were straightened, and he said in disbelief: "Shuangfeng, don't lie to me, you are the real Li Guang reincarnated."

Nian Gengyao smiled shyly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but I saw you archery just now, and I just wanted to imitate it. Speaking of it, it's better that you taught me."

Yinzhen was amazed in his heart, he thought that Nian Gengyao was just a scholar who was well versed in poetry and songs, and the most important principles of governing the country, but after arriving in Sichuan, he felt that he was a good official who cared about the world and cared for the people. Now, It is even more impressive to this talented young man.

Seeing that he kept his head down and thinking about something, Nian Gengyao said with a smile, "Why, are you reluctant to give me this wrench?"

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words. Since I promised you, of course I won't go back on my word. Take it!"

As he spoke, Yinzhen took off the finger on his hand and threw an arc in the air.Nian Gengyao reached out to catch it and held it tightly in his palm.

"I can't ask for your things for nothing." Nian Gengyao said, turned and entered the room.

After a while, he came out of the back room with a large felt hat in his hand.

"This is?" Yinzhen was puzzled.

"The so-called reciprocity, your finger ring is priceless, and my felt hat is not as good as it is, but it was brought back from Loulan by my Ama a few years ago, and it is also worth a thousand dollars in my heart. Today I will give it to you. Here it is." After Nian Gengyao finished speaking, he put the felt hat on Yinzhen's head solemnly.

Yinzhen didn't look in the mirror, and couldn't see himself wearing a felt hat now.

But when he looked at Nian Gengyao, who was smiling happily like a child, he felt that the person in front of him was not the majestic governor of Sichuan and the governor of Xinjiang, nor the good minister he was looking for, but just the purest and most sincere confidant .

"Shuangfeng, thank you for your felt hat." Yinzhen thought about it for a long time, but still felt that the word "thank you" was the most appropriate.

Nian Gengyao just smiled, turned and went to the inner hall.

The next day, Nian Gengyao slept until noon, when the sun was above the treetops, he got up in a daze.Xu Shi was too tired from running around in the past few days, and Xu Shi exhausted his energy from shooting arrows yesterday. He rubbed his eyes and walked out of the house in a daze.

"Shuangfeng—" Nian Gengyao vaguely heard someone calling him.

"Brother?" Nian Gengyao saw Yinzhen, and stood at the door with a bowl of noodles with a happy expression on his face.

"Shuangfeng, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, but you haven't gotten up. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't call you." Yinzhen's tone was particularly cheerful.

Nian Gengyao scratched his head, stretched out his hand to light a few lamps in the room, and the room was lit up immediately, and the sunlight outside was particularly glaring, making it so bright that it was impossible to see anything clearly.

"It's noon, why did you light the lamp?" Yinzhen asked doubtfully.

"Really? Look at me, I'm drowsy." Nian Gengyao smiled sheepishly.

"Quick, eat the noodles." Yinzhen said as he took a bowl of Yangchun noodles in his hand.

"Did you do it yourself?" Nian Gengyao blurted out out of nowhere for some reason.

This question was asked suddenly, Yinzhen was a little at a loss, but after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and admitted generously.

Nian Gengyao was burying his head in eating the noodles. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and was about to put the noodles into his mouth. Seeing that Yinzhen looked at him innocently with his cheeks on his hands, he even admitted that he made the noodles himself. Neither eating nor not eating, his hands had to stop in the air in a daze.

Yinzhen hurriedly explained: "I heard from them that today is your birthday, Shuangfeng, and I don't think I have anything to give you, so I made this bowl of longevity noodles for you."

Nian Gengyao was even more confused, and said, "Is today my birthday? Why don't I know it myself?"

Yinzhen was startled and said, "That's what the little officials under your command said, isn't today really Shuangfeng's birthday?"

Nian Gengyao suddenly understood what was going on in his heart, and sighed: "Brother must have been deceived by them. I have only been here for a few days, and I am out most of the time. How could they know my birthday?"

Yinzhen smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I wanted to give you a surprise Shuangfeng, but who knew it would be my fault."

Nian Gengyao didn't say anything, just ate the bowl of noodles with big gulps, and finally lit the bottom of the bowl to Yinzhen, and laughed loudly: "This bowl of longevity noodles is the best longevity noodles I've ever eaten. For it, I, Nian Gengyao, have another birthday, why not?"

Yinzhen also laughed, he really wished that he was really the wealthy businessman Yin Si, so that he could make a bowl of longevity noodles for Shuangfeng every year with his own hands.
