starling is not a bird

The servants who were in charge of picking flowers in the distance had already returned with a full load, and the two also took the opportunity to change the topic of the discussion and make plans for the next activities.You must know that entertaining relatives in colorful clothes is a laborious and intellectual work. Not only must you have the courage to wear tacky Bara-colored clothes, but you must also know the right time to fall down and make Gao Tang happy, especially when the person you want to please is as bad as the concubine Defei When it comes to getting close, the method is worth pre-arranging.

It's not that Yinhu didn't try hard to put eye drops on his fourth elder brother in front of the concubine De. A few days ago, it was just a favor to rescue Si Fujin, and pave the way for himself in the future, but it doesn't mean that he intends to be the peacemaker between their mother and son. Right now, I have to help the fourth brother, who seems to be poking and moving like a piece of wood, to imitate the childish Yiyi, which is inevitably a bit embarrassing.

In the Yonghe Palace, the concubine De is holding a bowl of milk and slowly sipping it. This milk is a rarity. Only the Empress Dowager and Emperor Kangxi have a share every day in the palace. I love this thing, so I got the emperor's dispensation, and I also got a share of the Yonghe Palace every day, which is really a great favor.

Suddenly I heard a word from the palace maid outside the door, saying that the fourth elder brother brought the eighth elder brother to pay his respects. Concubine De was impatient to see this son, so she had no choice but to follow the little eight. A few days ago, her son took him out and made him sick. At the scene, even though the good concubine didn't say anything, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, after thinking about it, she agreed to come in.

The maid serving outside the door opened the door curtain, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen came in with a vase of flowers in his arms, leading the eighth elder brother Yinhu.Yinhu laughed before saying anything: "I respectfully invite my mother Jinan, I respectfully invite my mother Yugui, and my son respectfully invites my mother Jinan Yugui on behalf of the fourth brother." After reading the long list, before Concubine De could speak, she pushed Yinzhen closer Going to present the flowers to the Empress Concubine De to watch, she pressed her right hand on Yinzhen's waist and eyes and silently exerted force, Yinzhen hissed softly in pain, but didn't speak.

Concubine De didn't pick up on it, so he was left alone here.Yinhu exerted more ruthless force in his hands, and after a while Yinzhen said stiffly: "Your Majesty, how are you doing these days? My son sees that the weather is fine, so he wants to buy a vase of flowers for his Majesty." How could anyone talk to his biological mother like this?Old-fashioned and blunt, with no emotion at all, no wonder the concubine de concubine doesn't want to see her!

Just ignore it, I am born to be troublesome on the scene, so I feel uncomfortable when I am so stiff, so I took up the conversation: "Madam, you don't know, I was the one who inserted the vase, and the fourth brother came over and saw the flowers blooming. Well, I just wanted to give you a reward, and I just collected all the beautiful flowers from my hands. It's really unreal, how can I be a brother? Madam, you have to make the decision for me!" Said As she spoke, she tugged on the sleeve of Defei's lacquered gold sprinkled with bamboo leaves and refused to let it go.

Concubine De was originally an honest person, and the quarrel with Yinzhen was nothing more than the mischief of a woman's narrow-mindedness. She suspected that her son disliked her low status and hated that her son was not close to her. Even the daughter-in-law she married was hand-picked by the emperor. Everyone, when the daughter-in-law comes in, please go to the Queen Mother first, then Concubine Tong, and finally yourself.I can't put on airs of being a serious mother-in-law, just depressed.

Now seeing his normally indifferent son Baba holding a vase of flowers to honor him, and Yinhu helping him, I feel very happy to see how pleasing this son is, and I will naturally say: "Then it's your brother, of course." That's wrong, how can I rob my younger brother for the sake of me? You should be punished!"

Yinhu saw that there was a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows, and knew that the concubine De concubine was trying to please her. She said she should be punished, but she didn't mention how to punish her.Concubine De pulled the two elder brothers to sit beside her, didn't say anything, just stuffed the fruit on the table into their hands, and ordered the maid to take the Taiwanese watermelon that the emperor had rewarded the day before yesterday, cut it up and ate it.

Both Yinzhen and Yinhu know that Taiwan's watermelon tribute is only a few dozen per year, and it usually enters the palace one after another before the Spring Festival, and only a few are distributed to each palace. It shows her happiness.

The smaller half was left for the palace maid to store in the ice cave in the cellar, and Empress Defei cut up half of the watermelon, Tete picked the biggest piece with a silver knife and handed it to Yinhu, and said with a smile: "Brother just now Bullying you, now punish him to watch you eat the biggest."

Yinhu knew in his heart that this was a gesture of concubine De's favor, but he never forgot that his fourth brother's favorite food was watermelon.

After ascending the throne, he insisted on eating Taiwanese watermelon every year.Man Bao, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, once reported the matter of submitting watermelons to Taiwan. Yongzheng Zhubi commented: "Give seed watermelons, and [-] watermelons will be imported in the coming year. Quanzhou and Taiwan watermelons are exempt; no need." Yongzheng also specifically emphasized that the submission It must be "seed-given watermelon". "The local species of Quanzhou do not need to be imported, and the road is far away, and it is useless." As for the local watermelons in Quanzhou and Taiwan, there is no need.

Huang Guocai, the governor of Fujian Province, also reported on the presentation of watermelons to Taiwan.Yongzheng gave some inner court melon seeds, and asked Huang Guocai's family member Changqing to bring them back, and wrote a letter to Huang Guocai, saying "give me melon seeds", send them to Taiwan for planting, and submit them in the next year.In this way, every year around the Spring Festival, Fujian officials who send watermelons to Taiwan bring back the next year's melon seeds by the way, so that they can be planted in summer. This is almost a custom.Now that he ate the biggest watermelon in front of him, does he still hate him for the rest of his life?This matter must not be done!

Yinhu was planning to follow the example of Kong Rong and ask Li to give up the watermelon. His fourth brother who loves to eat watermelon over there pushed his own piece over and said with a smile: "Is it my brother today? I will punish my brother to see it." Let's eat!"

Yinhu didn't dare to accept his favor, so he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty's reward can no longer be afforded, how can you dare to accept my elder brother? Brother, I have such a small fortune, how can I enjoy these things? Fourth brother, don't embarrass your younger brother. "

As he said that, he took the silver knife from the table, picked out the floating seeds, and held it to Yinzhen personally. Concubine De looked at their brothers politely, like little adults, secretly covering their handkerchiefs for fun, and didn't stop them .Yinzhen sincerely let him eat, seeing him holding it high, it was fine.He lowered his head and took a bite of his hand before taking it.Yinhu pursed her lips with anger in her heart, is this an apology for me?Isn't this a trick to ask me to serve him?

Glancing at Yinzhen bitterly, Yinhu held the biggest piece of melon and buried his head in eating bitterly, humming and chirping while eating with vigor, disregarding his usual dignity and politeness.Concubine De said happily: "That's it, stuttering, does this look like it!" Concubine De didn't move her mouth, just looked at Yinhu for fun, and Yinzhen also stopped a long time ago, taking it from the hand of the maid standing behind her. He took out a handkerchief, and after Yinhu had finished eating, he pulled his juicy face over and wiped it for him carefully, then turned around and threw a piece into the silver basin in the hand of the palace maid, cleaned his hands, and then went to serve the concubine Defei .

Yinhu was stupid for a moment!Is this day going to change?Or are you dreaming?Actually let that fourth brother wipe his face?Yinhu wished to bite his own face off, the concubine De next to him whispered to Yinzhen, the mother and son had a happy family relationship, Yinzhen looked at himself sideways from time to time, handed some fruits in his hands, and sometimes pulled his collar, Looking like a brother and friend, Yinhu wanted to spurt blood and die.

The weird reunion was over, and Yinzhen sent Yinhu to his own yard on purpose before reluctantly leaving. The journey along the way was like a dream, and Yinhu didn't understand what happened today until he lay flat on the bed. Why did my fourth brother suddenly come over to get close to me?Could it be that he was misunderstood again?Didn't you come back for revenge?Why are you so close to your enemy?

It was so hard for Yinhu to close his eyes and go to sleep, dangling as if his soul had left his body, he came to the former Baylor Mansion, and saw the adult seventeenth brother Yinli in a trance, dressed in the clothes of a prince to announce the decree, vaguely prepared for himself The incense case was accepted, but it was an order to change my name. From now on, I will be called Aqina, my son Hongwang will be changed to Bodhisattva Bao, and the ninth brother will be renamed Seth Hei.

It turned out that I was already a pig and a dog, but I didn't know how to admit myself to Emperor Yongzheng, who was born with my same father?Fortunately, Qingrong went early, and it is better to be humiliated than today. It is a pity that my only son Hongwang has suffered all kinds of hardships with him, but the fourth brother is really cruel, even his own son Hongshi is willing to accept it. Put it aside, the adoptive one will be stigmatized for himself, and his title will be cut off. It seems that he won't survive next year. Which one is missed by his fourth brother, can he still live?That's right, wasn't he poisoned to death?Xiao Jiu walked in front of him, and died of thirst under the scorching sun. I'm afraid it was more miserable than himself. Xiao Jiu, brother, I'm sorry. ah?

Just full of sadness, Yinhu couldn't help crying, but he could hear someone calling to him, and when he opened his eyes, it was Brother Bai, his handmaiden who had been with him since he was a child, holding a candlestick and looking at him worriedly. : "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"

Yinhu stretched out his hand to touch it, and his face was full of tears, only to realize that it was a dream, and as soon as he started doing it, Yinhu regained his composure and said, "It's nothing, it's just a dream, I'm scared, you pour a cup of tea." "Brother Bai responded, and the maid on duty at the door hurriedly went to the fire dragon outside to get a warm water bottle, and by the way, he handed over the sophora flower honey to soothe the gods. Brother Bai served Yinhu and drank half of the bowl, and wiped it for him. Body, the servant standing under the bed had already prepared a set of obscene clothes and came over to replace it.

Yinhu kept silent and let them tease her, and she didn't speak until Brother Bai was about to take the clothes out: "Master is just dreaming, don't tell others." He answered yes in a low voice, laughing secretly in his heart.

Yinhu lay down again but couldn't fall asleep. People are easy to indulge in pleasure, but after a few months, has he forgotten the tragic past?Planning to enjoy this short-lived beauty?Which of my brothers is the most fuel-efficient lamp?We spent hours swimming together, wrestling Buku, fighting crickets, and climbing trees to catch birds.Who has no relationship with whom?

But later, everyone changed. The eldest elder brother really wanted to kill the prince, the third elder brother also wanted to get rid of the two high mountains above his head, and his fourth elder brother's early wish was to become a monk!If you really want him to be emperor, is he more ruthless than anyone else?If he falls into a low position at this time, it is inevitable that he will not repeat the same mistakes. Even if he dies again, everything will be restored, but what about Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi?Their fate is in their own hands!

I remember that back then, Yongzheng hated Xiaojiu very much. In the first year of Yongzheng, he deliberately sent himself to his camp, forcing himself to swear to sever contact with him. Later, he also attacked Xiaojiu first. He was just poisoned, and Xiaojiu received the share Sin himself doesn't want to think about it, the pampered him was exposed to the scorching sun, and he couldn't even saliva. Thinking of this, Yinhu hated himself for being soft-hearted and helping Yinzhen today, so he should suffer more.

On the second day, Yinzhen sent someone to bring over a golden silk vase, along with a box of small purses, including all kinds of embroidered pieces, Pisces Yingxi purse, Guangzhou embroidered Sanyang Kaitai purse, gold The embroidered butterfly-shaped purse, the natural-color embroidered sky bamboo pattern purse, the flat gold color embroidered chain money insert purse, Yinhu knew that these were offerings from various provinces, and some of them were written by his fourth sister-in-law.

Although it was a good intention, but he was still immersed in the dream of last night. He picked it up, and his interest was so low that he ordered someone to pick it into a box and put it in the bottom of the cabinet to seal it. He said that he had collected good things and wanted to hide them. In fact, it was just that he didn't want to accept that person's love.

Eating Taiwanese watermelon yesterday was not for nothing, Yinhu finally thought of how to increase the income of the household department.In the 39th year of Kangxi, the Governor of Fujian brought Fanmai (which is today's corn) to Beijing. Due to the favorable climate and high yield, Fanmai quickly became popular and soon replaced millet, the main food crop in these areas.

The growth period of wild wheat is interlaced with that of winter wheat. In the northern region near the Yellow River Basin, it can be rotated with winter wheat to achieve two crops a year, which greatly increases food production and becomes the main food of the lower population. This is the reason for the rapid population growth in the last 20 years of the Kangxi Dynasty. the main reason.It is cultivated in all provinces of the country, and its yield far exceeds that of millet, often second only to wheat, and ranks third in grain harvest.

Banmai has already started to be planted in Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, but it has not been popularized yet. I will go out with Huang Ama to meet the Mongolian prince in August, and I should pass by the production area of ​​Banmai. How to bring the seeds back for trial planting, and strive for early promotion, won't the urgent need be solved?The Ministry of Households no longer has to worry about money, the front line can go to war, the border can be leveled, and more water conservancy projects can be built to prevent summer floods and spring ice floods, and the common people's fields will not be afraid of being submerged. Living and working in peace and contentment, he is happy thinking about the series of benefits, and almost forgets who gave him the watermelon.

Yinhu, who was secretly thinking, didn't notice the person standing behind him at all, but just wrote unconsciously with a pen, completely unaware of why the study room was suddenly quiet.By the time he realized it, Emperor Kangxi had been standing behind him for a long time.Yinhu hurriedly turned around to ask An to apologize, and Kangxi waved his hand: "Brother Ba's handwriting is really different. I read it back and forth in class the day before yesterday, and I just took it as a nonsense. When I saw it today, you really put all your heart into it. very good."

Kangxi carefully asked a few elder brothers about their homework, and was very satisfied, especially Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi, who are good at dancing spears and clubs on weekdays, and are ignorant. Teach me a lesson, chasing after my butt to reprimand, although I dare not say that I have made rapid progress, but I can barely make it through.

The emperor Longxin was very happy, and he promised to take these two with him when he left the fortress in August, but the joy of the big guys was spoiled, especially Yinhu. For him, the second generation was still repeating those same activities. He is very depressed, and now he can take his beloved brother to a place where he could not ride horses and gallop together before, which makes him very happy.

Only the remaining ten, twenty-three and fourteen were very depressed, watching the brothers rejoice, but they had nothing for themselves, and when they were about to cry, they felt ashamed, so they had to leave in dismay.Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi are holding Yinhu's skirt, with a loving look that will never leave. Yinhu only hates himself for being weak, otherwise how comfortable it would be to hold each other in his arms?Brothers and sisters, exchanged life and friendship, they took up half of the sky above his head.It's a treasure that sticks to your flesh and skin, more precious than your own eyeballs!Yinhu secretly made up his mind that he must build a sky for them to do whatever they want!

Seeing that there are still two months left until August, Xiaojiu and Xiaoshile, who are going out for the first time, are going crazy, and they are pulling and calculating things about their mother and concubine all the way. Xiaojiu wants to bring her new Qimei needle arrows, this is the hand weapon of Emperor Kangxi when hunting. Iron arrowheads, poplar shafts, spade skin jewelry on the shafts, arrow feathers made of carved feathers, dyed with vermilion, said to shoot down big eagles, Xiao Shi needs to bring the Kong Chun saber waist saber given to him by his grandfather. The guard of this saber is an iron-gold hollowed-out Ruyi disc, inside which are four movable galloping dragons, a sapphire handle, a wooden gilded peach-skin sheath, and a hair-blowing one. Hair-breaking blade.One has to bring his own wolf fur felt hat, and the other has to carry his own mink fur scarf, regardless of the fact that the fierce August sun outside the Great Wall can peel people off!Besides, others don't know the abilities of these two, so what doesn't Yinhu know?Xiao Jiu is a pampered tearful steamed stuffed bun, and Xiao Shi is a violent firecracker who bullies others. Can you really expect them to go to the grassland to win big?Yinhu planned to secretly ask the imperial concubine and Yifei empress to ask for more first-class guards, and then select a few outstanding children from their natal families to follow them. There must be a few more pairs of eyes to watch them along the way, right?In case the wind and sand damage Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Shi's board and lodging anger destroys Xiao Shi, I will feel uncomfortable.

In the past few days, everything has been going well for Yinhu, and he is satisfied with everything. Except for the tangled relationship with his fourth brother, he is basically living a comfortable life.The weather in the Forbidden City in early summer is cool and pleasant, the elder brothers are busy arranging troops, the third elder brothers and the fourth elder brothers are busy offering sacrifices at the Confucian Temple, a few noodle dumplings are just busy counting the days to go out to play, and the noble concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines and concubines are all in succession Rewarded with new melons and fruits, Yinhu practiced calligraphy, bowed and arched every day, and lived a life of a god who worked hard and didn't work hard.

But extreme joy begets sorrow and this word was not coined for no reason. Nine out of ten people are unsatisfactory in life. When a person is happy in everything, his good life will be destroyed by disaster. Later, it was proved by Schrödinger, a physicist who knows everything, that the more you don't want a bad thing to happen, the more it will happen.What will the reborn Eighth Prince Yinhu fear most in the palace?

Was it Emperor Kangxi's suspicion, or his brother's suppression, or was he framed by his siblings?
