The first dude in the Qing Dynasty

"Fourth brother."

Although Yin Zuo is not small, but compared with the tall and straight Yin Zhen, he is not enough, and he is easily carried on his back.

"Fourth brother." Yinzuo called again.

"how?"

"I'm a little homesick." Yinzuo leaned his head limply on Yinzhen's shoulder: "Do you want to?"

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, and said: "The hunt will be over tomorrow, and Shengjia will leave for Beijing soon."

Yin Zuo smiled lightly.

I thought, how could it be that home?

Fourth brother, don't you want to?

The home of that life, the family of that life, parents, lover, children...

Don't you want to?

A place where you can let go of all your defenses, the most relaxed, unrestrained, and warmest place in the world, where you can repair all injuries and recover from all fatigue.

In addition to you, there are relatives who can tolerate you and trust you unconditionally.

That's home, that's family!

"Fourth brother, I hate this..." Yin Zuo said in a low voice: "It looks like a happy life, but in fact it's just another kind of calculation, calculating how much weight I have in his heart, and calculating how to behave to make him feel the most Don't worry... what kind of relative is this? What kind of father and son is this?"

If another prince refuses to marry Fujin and finds a dog as his son, he must be furious, right?The only thing I could do to him was to reprimand and sigh.

Did he also feel that perhaps it was best for him not to have a wife and children?

In the past, it was too light and could be discarded casually...

Now, it is too heavy, and I am most afraid of losing control...

Yinzhen didn't speak, and walked slowly with Yinzuo on his back.

He can't understand Yinzuo, he doesn't know what Yinzuo wants.

His last life and this life have all been like this.

His parents, his brothers, his wives and concubines, and his children have all been like this all their lives.

Isn't that what the so-called relatives are like?

Calculating the thickness of the relationship, calculating the closeness of the distance, calculating the weight...

The closest, the thickest, the heaviest... Isn't that enough?

The low voice came again: "Fourth brother, if one day, you are in power, can you let me be alone, free, and go wherever I want?"

It's not like it is now, let you go and let you stop.

After being silent for a long time, Yinzhen said: "...I can't."

Yin Zuo laughed at himself, and stopped tossing, lying on Yin Zhen's shoulder, and stopped talking.

He has been in this world for more than ten years, and he has been used to this kind of life for more than ten years. Compared with other people around him, he is much luckier.

It's just that when he was occasionally drunk, he would think of his previous life, the life in which his mind was so relaxed that he was about to fly even though he was seriously ill.

Man, that's how greedy it is.

In his previous life, he also thought that as long as God gave him a healthy body so that he could cry and laugh freely, he would be willing to bear no matter what the price was.

Now, he is so dissatisfied.

"Fourth brother."

"Ok?"

"It's just a drunken talk, don't take it to heart."

"Ah."

I have unconditional tolerance and warmth.

Unfettered home, I also have.

-

Silent night.

Yinzhen was lying halfway on the bed, there was no light in the tent, only the moonlight leaked in from the window, the originally dim moonlight was actually quite bright in this dark environment.

He thought about Yin Zuo's previous words, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

"Fourth Master." Su Peisheng's voice sounded from outside.

"Say."

Su Peisheng said softly: "News came from Beijing that Sifu Jin was born. It's an elder brother. Both mother and child... are safe. But the news has been released over there, saying that Sifujin had a difficult delivery."

Yinzhen hummed, but there was no joy or anger in his voice.

"But, Siye, Sifujin, she is awake."

Yinzhen frowned: "Are you awake?"

"Si Fujin woke up, crying very sadly, saying that she regretted it, please give her another chance... She said that she couldn't bear Big Brother..." Su Peisheng said: "But the news over there has already been released , fourth master..."

Yinzhen said lightly: "Move her out of the mansion, find a doctor to take a good look at her, and she will take care of her health. Send her away before Shengjia returns to Beijing."

Su Peisheng said hesitantly: "If you meet outsiders, Fujin will make a fuss..."

Yinzhen said coldly: "Then let her think about it, what kind of mother-in-law and identity is the best for the child. You can ask her, from the time she was pregnant to the present, how has she been?" Have you ever done something beneficial to the child? If Erniang hadn't given her realgar wine by mistake, the child would have been born a bastard! If the father hadn't found her in time, the child would not have known where he was now. Where, even if she is still alive, she is also a tool held in the hands of others, and will be used all her life! Tell her, if she still knows that she is a mother-in-law, she should calm down a bit! It will be a blessing for her child. "

Su Peisheng responded and went quietly.

Yinzhen lay on the bed for a while, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so he simply put on his clothes and got up, ready to go for a walk.

As soon as the heavy curtain was opened, the melodious sound of the flute came in. The sound of the flute was warm and sad, as if it was a little bit drunk by its half-drunk owner, making anyone who heard it drunk.

Yinzhen walked towards the place where the sound of the flute sounded as if he had his own consciousness, and then saw the person playing the flute.

He was wearing a snow-white cloak, standing in the dim moonlight, looking distant and hazy.

Yinzhen couldn't see his face clearly, but he could easily picture in his mind the appearance of his lowered brows and lowered eyes, his lips pressed together like a flute, as delicate as a painting.

The sound of the flute became more and more gentle, like a baby returning to its mother's arms, surrounded by endless warmth and pampering.

There is a place where there are quarrels but no harm, conflicts but no betrayal, mistakes but never worry about being abandoned.

There is a place where you can fly as much as you want, and the door will not be closed to you no matter how long you leave.

The sound of the flute is flying, free and joyful, as if it has turned into the wind on the grassland and the clouds in the sky, passing over the endless grassland, flying over the mountains, and then dissipating regrettably in the world.

After a long time, Yinzhen finally came back to his senses, watching the man bent down and hugged the puppy that was circling around his feet into his arms.

"Master, what's so good about the moon?" Wangcai muttered, "Let's go back, it's getting late."

"Today's people don't see the moon in ancient times, but this month used to shine on the ancients. The ancients are like flowing water, and the moon is like this..." Yinzuo patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "This kind of poet's feelings, you are a layman, I will never understand it!"

Wangcai said: "But master, I haven't seen any poems written by you. Aren't you a layman like me?"

Yinzuo laughed loudly and said, "You're right, isn't your master just a common man?"

What's so sour about it?Sure enough, he was drunk!

"Let's go, go home and sleep! I'm so sleepy!"

"Hey!" Wang Cai responded happily, and said, "Master, give Hong Fu to this servant, that boy is very heavy now..."

Yinzuo sneered and said, "It's as if you are stronger than your master."

While throwing Hong Fu on the ground, he said, "Run, kid!"

Yinzhen quietly watched the two walk away slowly, and suddenly laughed at himself.

He actually felt that his younger brother could only get what he wanted from Hong Fu and Wang Cai, and he could really laugh unrestrainedly.

Sure enough, he was drunk.

-

Yinzuo's hurt in spring and autumn will always come and go faster.

Early the next morning, he happily ran to congratulate Yinzhen on the addition of a son, and pestered Yinzhen shamelessly, saying that if there were more in the future, he must give him one of his sons.

Not long after, Yinxiang and Yinzhen also came, and Yinzhen was still carrying a bird cage triumphantly, inside which was a big white bird.

Yinzuo walked around the birdcage and said, "Is this the Costin you bought for 10 taels?"

Yinzhen nodded: "Yes!"

"It's your size!" Yinzuo snorted coldly, "I don't know what to do to bully me? For 10 taels of silver, it's enough to buy a pure black top-quality product, so you can buy me a defective product with impure fur color." Come back? Is this thing worth 30 taels of silver?"

Yinzhen argued: "Where is it a defective product, at most it is a defective product!"

He begged again: "Sixth brother, you also know that Haidongqing is hard to buy, let alone the top grade, the top grade? I will get a second grade and play with it first. When I have a good one, I will buy it again."

In short, it will never give you money back!

Yinzuo didn't bother to pay attention to him, and called Wangcai loudly, saying: "Prepare the horse, my master is going to hunt today."

Turning around, she smiled at Yinzhen, and said, "I'll catch a few beautiful little rabbits, little foxes, etc., and give them to our little nephew as a meeting gift."

Yinzhen patted his head and said: "Then I'll find a pony! The most beautiful one!"

-

After the hunting was over, it was Shengjing Yeling, and then finally began to return to Beijing.

Back in the capital, Yinzuo's county mansion had been repaired, and the things had been chopped off and moved back.

Yin Zuo went back to live without saying a word, which made everyone around him breathe a sigh of relief - he was afraid that this master would have to go back to his Lin Mansion!

The first thing is of course to go to Yinzhen's mansion to see the little nephew who is already full moon, and then distribute gifts to various mansions. After all the arrangements are made, Yinzuo sleeps at home for three days, bathes and changes clothes before eating After the delicious breakfast, Yinzuo finally felt that he was alive again.

"Master, that person is here again, do you see him or not?" Wang Cai always recovered earlier than Yin Zuo.

"Who is it?"

"My lord, you forgot again. Before you left, didn't you tell me that you wanted to inquire about people who had gone to sea and been to many countries? It was not easy to find one, but you left again, and he was waiting for you three in the capital." It's a month!"

Yin Zuo immediately got up and said, "Why didn't you say something like this earlier?"

Wangcai's eyes widened, and he said, "Why didn't the servant say it earlier? You said that before you slept well, the Heavenly King and I would not be there! They have come here three times!"

Yin Zuo patted his forehead and said: "Understood, I have wronged you, okay? Go and take him to Xiaohua hall, where I will meet him."

Yinzuo waited for a while in the small flower hall, and a foreigner who looked about 50 or [-] years old was brought over by Wangcai, who bent slightly to Yinzuo and said, "Hello, I'm Joan Anderson, from Great Britain."

"Hello, Mr. Anderson," Yin Zuo said, "I think you already know my identity very well. It seems that your situation is not very good, but if you can satisfy me, I will consider hiring you."

"Not good?" Although he was a little surprised that Yin Zuo didn't call him Mr. Joan by mistake, Anderson continued on and on: "My lord, you may have misunderstood something. I am a famous businessman in Great Britain. He has many Enterprise. And I also own two large ships, which can bring me endless wealth, because I know that you are very sincere and want to see one..."

Yin Zuo suddenly interrupted him: "Do you need me to treat you to a meal first?"

Anderson was taken aback.

Yinzuo asked again: "How long has it been since you shaved?"

Anderson was taken aback, his lips twitched twice, and he didn't speak.

Yinzuo said: "Your beard is neatly trimmed, but the skin color of your chin is different from the rest of your face. It can be seen that you should not be in the mood to take care of your beard for at least two months or longer. .Also, from the creases on your clothes, it can be seen that you have not been willing to wear this clothes for a long time, and your boots, although they look good, but the soles are very worn, oh yes, just now you You're drooling over this plate of dim sum, right?"

Anderson looked at Yinzuo as if looking at a monster, and Yinzuo continued: "Besides, I know that time is as precious as money for a businessman like you. You have been waiting for my king in the capital for three months, and when I come back I will come here every day for the last three days, which already explains the problem, doesn't it?"

Anderson lowered his head.

Seeing that he finally bowed his head, Yinzuo stopped talking about the king, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry, whether I will hire you or not has nothing to do with your current situation. If you are really like you said, you have been to many place, know a lot of people, then I will give you a chance to get back everything you lost ten times and a hundred times over."

"Now, tell us about your experience in all the languages ​​you know! After that, you can enjoy your breakfast, no, it should be called lunch."

This Mr. Anderson is not lying. He is indeed a successful businessman with a lot of wealth and two boats. But now, the word "owning" may need to be quoted.Because now it may all belong to the partner who dropped him in this strange country and sneaked away with his boat.

He can speak multiple languages ​​and speaks in a very orderly manner. Yinzuo tried a few words and found that he is well-informed compared to this era, and he has his own opinions on some things, and he seems to be a relatively principled guy ... All in all, Yinzuo is very satisfied.

"Presumably you know that our prince of the Qing Dynasty is very strictly controlled, but I am very curious about the outside world." Yinzuo said: "I will buy a boat and fill it with people. You can do it. My captain. When the ship goes out to sea, you can buy whatever you want and take it away. No matter how much you sell it for, it’s all yours. When I come back, I hope it contains all the things I like. If you bring back things that satisfy me, I will pay you extra. Conversely, if these things do not interest me, then I will Find someone who is more knowledgeable than you and who understands my heart better—understand?”

Yin Zuo never asked Anderson if he was willing, because he needed to show his strength in front of this cunning foreign businessman, so that he would have less other thoughts.

As for Anderson, he actually wanted to say "I will seriously consider your suggestion" in a reserved manner, but looking at the appearance of this young prince, maybe as soon as he "considered", this pie that fell from the sky would fall on someone else's head ... In front of this person who claims to have never been out, but has more knowledge than himself, he should take it easy!

Yinzuo saw that he had acquiesced to his own conditions, smiled slightly, and said: "Then, I will talk about the first thing I am interested in. This is also a test. If you can't do it, then this matter will be That's it."

"I heard that last year, in your country, a man named Thomas invented a machine that can pump water from mines. I hope you can bring him back."

Anderson's eyes widened, and he said, "You mean, Thomas... the guy?"

Yin Zuo nodded: "I want machines, blueprints, and people. Especially people, I don't care if you coerce or lure them, or just knock them out and bring them back. If you didn't bring the wrong people back— —I'll send you another ship."

Anderson was trembling with excitement, a boat, as long as one person is brought back, he can have his own seaboat again, this is really... really...

"Also, have you ever been to America?"

Anderson calmed down and nodded.

Yinzuo smiled and said, "That's very good. I also need a plant from America. I call it a rubber tree..."

Damn, I never want to live without tires!
