[Qing Chuan] Qing Chuan Wu Shi

The fourth elder brother finished writing the fourteen characters of "Coarse clothes and light food are enough for home, and you can live a blissful life", put down the pen, but before walking away, he spread a piece of paper by himself, picked another pen and dipped it in ink, slightly After thinking for a while, he wrote a long poem with a brush, Wu Ning looked sideways, and saw that what was written on the paper was:

Get the years, prolong the years; get joy, and joy;

The multiplication and division of everything is always in the sky, so why worry about it.

Don't worry about being wide, don't be too narrow.

Jingu's prosperous eyes are full of dust, and Huaiyin's career is at the forefront

Yellow chrysanthemums by the fence of Tao Qian, white catkins by the side of Fanli Lake;

At the meeting in Lintong, the courage was strong, and the flute sound in Danyang County was outstanding;

The stubborn iron has its brilliance when it comes, but the gold has no color when it is returned;

Be free and learn the heart of a sage, and you will know the difference here

Coarse clothes and light food are enough for home, and they can be raised for a lifetime of clumsiness.

It turned out that the fourth elder brother embedded the poem just now as the conclusion into this long poem. After he finished writing the last word, he threw away the brush, and his expression turned cold.

Wu Ning was by his side, watching the face of the fourth elder brother, and he couldn't help but think, people often say that having more children means more blessings, as if a big family is such a happy thing, but in the emperor's house, this matter is not so simple .There are many heirs, but there is only one emperor. The sons fight with each other and kill each other.

The phrase "more children, more blessings" is a joke in the emperor's family.

Kangxi has 35 sons, some of whom stand out are the second elder brother, the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother.

Among them, the second elder brother, the crown prince, was born to Empress Xiaochengren, the empress of the main palace. Because he was the eldest son, and Emperor Kangxi had a deep affection for Empress Xiaochengren and his wife, Empress Xiaochengren left early, so Kangxi transferred his love to the On the second elder brother.

The second elder brother was established as the prince when he was two years old.

He is intelligent by nature, has a deep affection with Kangxi and his son, and is deeply loved by Kangxi. As the heir to the throne, the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty will naturally have many ministers wooing the prince, known as the so-called princelings.

Compared with these brothers, the fourth elder brother's biological mother is just an ordinary concubine.Whether the foreign relatives are powerful in the court, if not for his adoptive mother, Empress Xiao Yiren, it would be very difficult for the fourth elder brother to compete with the other brothers.

The fourth elder brother's adoptive mother is Empress Xiao Yiren, who has no children under her knees, and the fourth elder brother has been very close to her since she was a child, and her heart is full of flesh. After so many years of emotional cultivation, it is not a mother and son, but a mother and son.Therefore, Empress Xiao Yiren loves the fourth elder brother very much.

With her support, the fourth elder brother actually has the support of the entire family behind her.

What does the support of the whole family mean?Let’s just list a few points at random: the queen’s younger brother, Longkodo, was serving as the commander of the infantry and the secretary of the Lifan Academy at that time. He was in charge of the keys of the nine gates inside and outside Beijing, and commanded the Eight Banners infantry. Longkodo is equivalent to controlling the army in the capital.

It is self-evident what this means to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother slowly put down the pen, and heaved a sigh of relief.Carefully drying the two words and putting them away, seeing the dim night outside the window, he turned his head to look at Wu Ning, smiled and said, "Tonight...".

Wu Ning was slightly startled, and a burst of inexplicable tension came to his heart.

She didn't know where the courage came from, and said without thinking: "The concubine...the concubine has not recovered from her illness, sir...".

The fourth elder brother's smile froze on his face, he lowered his eyes for a long time and said indifferently: "Then you should take a good rest." Wu Ning looked at his face, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Although the fourth elder brother was disappointed, he was more than half expecting the result.

He got up and wanted to leave, but as if thinking of something, he paused and said: "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. After returning from the palace, a few brothers and I plan to get together in the mansion to have a good time." .”

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.

Everywhere in Si Age's mansion was newly sprinkled and decorated with lanterns and festoons.After returning from the palace, before the evening family banquet, Wu Ning picked out a light blue flag dress inlaid with silver and gray edges. The fabric was Ning silk from Jiangnan. At that time, it fell like broken snow.Also matched with a pair of flower pot bottom shoes of the same color.

Zhuqi muttered unwillingly all the way: "Master should wear more delicate colors!".

A group of people walked around the rockery, the small lake in the garden was breezy, the water was calm, and the Kunqu opera was singing in the distance, far away, I couldn't hear it clearly, only heard the libretto of "Western Wind Residual Shine", and I could go away When it's near, what is "the sound and dust... Han Jialing Que...".

Wu Ning thought to himself, who ordered this play?Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, such a harmonious and happy festival, such a sad libretto!

A stage was set up in the garden, and male and female guests sat in two places, with two rows of flower shelves neatly separated in the middle. Although it was winter, the potted flowers on the shelf were full of flowers, and there were many precious flowers. It is so elegant and gorgeous, only to smell the faint fragrance.There is a gap between the two rows of flower racks, just as one person walks along the path, a row of servants shuttle back and forth among the flower racks with their plates, each of them tidying up very neatly, their footsteps are hurried, and it is very lively.

Seeing Wu Ning's arrival, the female family members sitting at the table got up and saluted quickly. Wu Ning returned the salute with a smile. Seeing that Fujin had already sat on the main table, Li Gege waved to himself with a smile: "Sister Wu! Sit here !", Wu Ning walked over and just sat down, there was already a maid holding the washbasin and offering hot tea, and the pearls and chess pieces were picked up one by one.

When I got to the table, I saw that only cold dishes and fruits were served, and the hot dishes hadn't started to leave the table yet.

Mid-Autumn Festival is the time when the most fruits in the capital, Yantai pears, pomegranates, white grapes, Shandong apricots, red persimmons, and watermelons specially sent by the palace to the brothers who opened their teeth and built their homes. In addition, desserts are also available. There are quite a few, especially the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes, which are filled with different shapes on the table. The Northland mooncakes are not like Jiangnan, they are larger and rich in fillings.

A scene on the stage has just come to an end. Under the thick dark blue curtain on the east side, a flute master is sobbing and tuning the Kundi, and another pipa master is plucking the shaft of the pipa. While tuning, he is talking to others. Be careful, the strength in your hand was a little stronger, the pipa string snapped and almost hit his face, his lips moved, he must have cursed in a low voice.

A few red-faced half-grown men dragged the wooden boxes containing the gear and walked around, so Wu Ning understood: This is a "preparatory scene", because all the elder brothers have not arrived yet, the real good The play hasn't even started yet!

There are several other ladies on the table. According to Fujin's introduction, there are girls from Tong Jia, Zhao Jia, and Nala's family. Among them, the girl from Zhao Jia's family is named Qing Rang. The chicness of the ordinary daughter's family is the daughter of Marhan, Minister of the Ministry of War and Minister of State, Wu Ning couldn't help but take a look.

Not long after, there was movement from the east of the garden. It was the third elder brother who came. Wu Ning followed everyone to look, and saw that the third elder brother was slightly frail, dressed in royal blue robes, with a handsome face, and nodded to everyone very gently. head.He has a bookish air all over his body, low-key and introverted, not like a prince, but like a well-educated person.

Just as the third elder brother was seated, Wu Ning heard the fourth elder brother laughing and saying: "Eighth brother, fourteenth brother!" Wu Ning turned his head and saw the two elder brothers approaching in a chaotic group, one of them was walking in front of him. In front, the narrow and long eyes had a slight dark smile, graceful and graceful, with an extremely handsome appearance, but not feminine at all.

The other person was a little younger, and there was a hint of chic and unrestrained in his actions. When he saw Yinzhen, he smiled and said: "Fourth brother!".

The fourth elder brother stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Fourteenth brother, this way." When Wu Ning heard that this was the fourteenth elder brother, he knew that the handsome elder brother must be the "Eight Wise King" in history. "Undoubtedly, I couldn't help but take a second look.

The eighth elder brother seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly turned his head in the crowd, took a deep look in Wu Ning's direction, and then turned and left.

Wu Ning was holding up a teacup to drink, when the maid next to him put on a fruit plate and accidentally touched her arm, the full cup of tea immediately spilled on his chest and skirt.

All the female relatives at the table looked at her, Wu Ning got up quickly, the water stains rolled down all the way down the fabric, and splashed all over the skirt.

Wu Ning saw the maid kneeling on the ground shivering, her face was very familiar, she recognized someone from Fujin's courtyard, and raised her hand to get her up.Zhuqi hurriedly said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is cool, and the master is weak. The wet clothes are on him, so we must not let the wind blow. Let the slave serve the master to go back and change!".

Wu Ning was about to leave with Fujin, but Fujin nodded and said: "Come back soon, the banquet is about to start.".

Wu Ning was supported by Zhuqi and Qingming, left the banquet, and walked towards her own residence, because her body was stained with water and her clothes were all stuck to her body, it was very indecent, so she let Zhuqi lead the way. Less trails.

When passing a wing room, Wu Ning casually turned his head and took a look, and saw five or six bookshelves lying horizontally under the window, separated into three floors. The appearance of the residence, Wu Ning has never seen this residence during the time he has been in the mansion, he was puzzled for a moment, and thought: Who lives in this place?I also thought: It is not surprising that there are always places I have never been to in such a big Si Age's mansion.

A few people were about to walk over, but they heard a man's voice in the room laughing lowly: "Thirteenth brother! No wonder the fourth brother sent people to look for you everywhere, but you are not here, so you are drinking boring wine here!".

Wu Ning was taken aback for a moment, and thought: So there are people in the room!It's still the thirteenth brother, and the speaker calls him "Thirteenth Brother", so it is conceivable that he is also another dragon son.She knew that it was not appropriate for her to hear what the prince said outside, so she quickened her pace and wanted to walk over, but she saw a burst of voices from the other side of the garden, coming towards her, and there was no other way to avoid it at this time.

Wu Ning looked up, but it was the fourth elder brother and a group of elder brothers who happened to come to the backyard to enjoy the moon by coincidence, secretly crying in his heart, seeing the water stains on his chest, this appearance could not be shown in front of the princes no matter what In desperation, he glanced at it and saw that the next door to the wing room where the thirteenth elder brother was located was a small room where the servants lived, so he quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
