starling is not a bird

Gululu’s Yunnan Steam Pot Chicken is quietly emitting aroma in the brass pot. The table is full of plates and dishes. The red color on this plate is money cloud legs, and the bowl is full of coconut-flavored pickled peppers. Fried beef tenderloin, large chunks of fat are braised chicken palm mushrooms, large lobster wrapped in salted egg yolk, green lemongrass wrapped in grilled fish, and the cup is Yunnan red brewed from purple rice.

Wang Gangming's face was already a bit drunk, and it was the son of Duke Aling'a, Alsun'a, and Lord Mingzhu's son, Nalan Kuixu, who sat on the main seats.

Kui Xu raised his cup: "It's disturbing your kindness, it's rare for Mr. Wang to go to Beijing, so we should welcome you!"

Wang Gangming was just a purchaser from the Ministry of Household Affairs. He entrusted favors and donated a six-rank fame. How dare he make a gesture to the Duke's son and the son of the chief assistant's family?

"Master Nalan, you are very polite. It is a blessing for me to be honored. Come and try this ham. I brought it from Yunnan. It is very fragrant."

Kui Xu picked up a chopstick, the taste was extremely sweet, and he couldn't help but praise: "I have eaten cloud legs in the past, but it is rare to see such delicious food!"

Wang Gangming wanted to show off: "Master Nalan must eat it differently. The common way is to stew it with high soup and then burn it. Although it is delicious, the taste is weak. Today's cloud leg is made with Yunnan millet rice wine. When the water is steamed, the taste is locked in the meat, so the taste is better naturally!"

Arsunha smiled: "So that's the case. After all, you have traveled a lot and learned a lot. We are in the capital all day long, and we have become old hats before we know it."

Everyone laughed, Wang Gangming hurriedly said: "If the food tastes good, I will have a lot more. If you don't mind it, I will show some filial piety for everyone to try."

Arsun's eyes rolled: "It's easy to have cloudy legs, don't forget that the rice wine you steamed ham with is serious."

Wang Gangming patted his chest boldly: "I'm afraid the son won't open his mouth. There are more than a dozen tanks of rice wine waiting in the backyard of the lower official!"

Everyone laughed together, and the atmosphere at the wine table became more harmonious. Wang Gangming had already obtained the grace to allow him to organize the mining of lead ore and iron ore in Huguang, Shanxi and other places.Mining with the money from the Ministry of Finance, what you get is pure profit. If such a good thing falls on yourself, in addition to rewarding the gods, you still have to go around to manage it.

Mingzhu is dedicated to being a good looker, and Ah Ling's status is precious, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get in the gate, but after getting benefits from others, can't I act like a normal person?But it didn't take long for him to be bothered, and people from both the scholar's mansion and the duke's mansion came to contact him.

Wang Gangming is not an idiot. If you pass in the word, it's just a profit. If you keep your own business, you're the only one and it's over. If you have money, everyone earns it!

But the two stewards who came didn't say this: "My lord, you understand the routine, and our master doesn't like to care too much, I know you know it, but the master has other orders, you just stay in the capital for a few more days." , someone will come to talk to you!"

Wang Gangming honestly stayed in the capital for several days. Apart from wandering around his waifu's house, he just went around doing business. He couldn't see the masters at the top. Brother's doorman.

Bingjing charcoal is given as a top-notch gift, and Brother Jiu went in to drink a cup of tea by himself, and was blackmailed by many good people. He even sent several carts of tobacco leaves and dried mushrooms of various colors.

I got a job in mining, I guess it wasn't Brother Jiu's handwriting, this master has to spend money out of the frying pan, how could it be possible to take advantage of this kind of thing?

Could it be the meaning of Lord Sibeile, I don't know him well, since Sibeile entered the household department, I haven't benefited at all, and if I move, I'm going to take the blame lightly. Accounting is more ruthless than anyone else, even the tax exempted by the emperor, he wants to get it back.

Wang Gangming was blocked several times by him, took money and went out to fill the hole, but was also reprimanded by his superiors.But I don't want to correct it at all, we have to earn what we should earn, so many people eat with us, even if I want to take it out, I can't take it out!

Who is running around in the wind and rain not trying to build a foundation for his descendants?You are the prince and elder brother, I believe in you for the country, but we ordinary people have to live a life, who doesn't want to live a good life?If you don't want to share any profits, who will do things for you?

After waiting and waiting, he unexpectedly found the eldest son of the duke's mansion and the eldest son of the scholar's mansion. This son is also the guard of the Zhijun prince's mansion. Wang Gangming felt that his ancestral grave must be smoking!

Wang Gangming, who was ready to entertain, welcomed the envoy of the governor of Yunnan. The governor of Yunnan took over the copper mines in Yunnan, which is the lifeblood of the country!

Who is the governor of Yunnan?The senior official of Men'erqing must have better news than himself. Wang Gangming just paid for it, and even the cook sent it from Yunnan.

So the Manchu-Han Banquet that had been agreed upon became a special banquet in Yunnan, and Wang Gangming was still sitting in the main seat. The Governor did not dare to contact the Beijing officials blatantly, so he sent an unemployed clan brother of his own to sit in the last seat during the banquet. But everyone gave him a little noodle.

Kui Xu got Ama's instructions before leaving the house, and the king of Zhijun should not be allowed to intervene in this matter. Babeile's refusal to show up is to avoid suspicion. No problem, but you have to take care of the master's affairs.

Kui Xu was quite unconvinced, his son is not a child, how could he not be able to tell the difference?Mingzhu took her son's hand and sighed for a long time, thinking in her heart, she would talk to the emperor when she found a chance, and seek a real job for her son. It is serious to leave the palace. With such a master, it is already very slim to confer a wife and a son. Now, if the master makes a big mess, the subordinates can't take the blame?

But it is not easy to say this to his son. In the past few years, Zhijun Wang has nothing to say to Kui Xu. According to his son's temper, he is afraid that he will lose his temper, and everything will go away, and it will be harmful. own.

Mingzhu thought about the reception this time for a long time before she felt that she should let Kui Xu pass by, and just think of herself as giving her son a chance. Babeile is not a person who holds grudges, and with his care in the future, he will definitely not treat Kui Xu badly.

The clan brother was quite silent, except for standing up to toast, he didn't say much, and only said at the end: "If you have any orders in the future, just open your mouth."

Kui Xu was startled: "Where are these words? These are the mighty grace of the emperor. It is enough for the big guys to work together. Don't think too much about it."

Arsunha laughed: "Your brother is not well informed, don't talk nonsense and be ashamed!"

The clan brother didn't answer the words, and he didn't refute anything. He also thought about becoming an official in the past. If it wasn't for the various stories in his family, which dragged him down, he would never have been reduced to be the aide of the clan brother.

The younger brother is the pillar of the family, and it is a blessing for the family to be able to plan for him. He worked hard in Yunnan, and he was his eyes and ears in the capital.Over the years, the clan brothers have taken good care of their family members in their hometown, and their nephews and nephews have also received a lot of support.In the capital, I managed to mediate the relations of all parties for him, my brother's hand has always been very loose, and my family has a lot more money.For the future of his children and for the prosperity of the family, this clan brother is very conscientious in Beijing, not to mention his filial piety during the festivals, and even the stewards of the various houses are familiar with him.

He has been operating in the capital for a long time, how could he not understand these people?Duke Alinga accepted such a fried pile coldly, it would have been impossible if no one was behind it.

The ten elder brothers have only taken charge of the defense of Gyeonggi, and it is not an exaggeration to count Niu Yulu and his mother's family as a favor, but the ten elder brothers have never been very close to their mother's clan, let alone speak out for their mother's sake .

On the other hand, Babeile has always had a good relationship with his wives since he got married. Not only Ah Ling, but even Fa Que is willing to associate with Babeile. The two brothers who had conflicts last year were even dragged by Babeile to drink and sober up , This shocked everyone's jaws, the old queen mother in the palace heard about it, and specially recited a few times.

It is not an exaggeration for the Duke of Alinga to get such benefits, but he can't think of such a well-rounded method to deal with the aftermath. Even Lord Mingzhu is not good at such small tasks. If you think about it carefully, Babeile must be behind it idea.

Entrusting other people's blessings, you must know how to be grateful, and you can't let Ah Ling and Mingzhu underestimate your brother. The best way is to build a good relationship with Kui Xu, and entrusted him to be introduced to Babeile .

My younger brother can be regarded as the leader of one party in Yunnan, if there are any changes in the court, he will have a better future in the future, if he gets in the eyes of that noble lord, he may not even end up.

It is true that mastering the copper mine is a great grace, but it cannot prevent others from making money. Those who should be dismissed should be dismissed, and those who should be filial should be filial. None of them should be ignored. Only the future can be long-term. Wang Gangming is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he doesn't need to be so careful, his younger brother doesn't have such a strong backing.

As a result, Babeile's house got a lot of Yunnan-Guizhou specialties. Babeile didn't like the taste of cloud legs, and he couldn't get used to eating big lobsters, so they were all cheap to the guards.

Only the few salty snacks brought over by Ba Bei Le liked it. When the study was tired, he grabbed a piece from time to time and ate it slowly. The waiter in the study found out and told Ba Fujin secretly.

Fujin just let it out, and each room automatically handed over the snacks that were distributed. It's rare that our master has something to eat, why don't we leave it all to him?Even the most squeamish little Gege in the mansion has no objection, with a mouth full of missing teeth, he said while leaking the wind: "Leave it to Ama, so that Ama grows taller!"

Fortunately, Babeile didn't hear this sentence. Speaking of height, Babeile's heart hurts a lot. It's fine that elder brother ten is taller than himself. Concubine Wen Xi is taller than his mother and concubine. Brother nine is thinner, but he is a little taller. No way, even standing still is like a stick of bamboo.

But seeing the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers jumping up suddenly, he naturally had an idea. Of course, if Babeile was a little more shameless, it would be very advantageous to compare with the seventh and eighteenth elder brothers.

I obviously drank so much bone soup, why didn't it work at all?Puzzled Babeile always comforts himself that men grow slowly, but it takes a long time. I am only in my early twenties, and it is said that I can grow up to thirty. Now I have caught up with the fourth and second brothers. There is still a chance in the future!

The copper mine in Yunnan is an important source of raw materials for the imperial court to mint coins. The governor of Yunnan is also a confidant of Kangxi. A nail was inserted into Huang Ama's confidant, and Babeile was also a little flustered.

However, if he intends to let the ten elder brothers take the position of Longkodo back then, he has to make a choice. Huang Ama will never completely trust his younger brother. I was imprisoned for a lifetime!If he stopped now, Huang Ama would think that he would save his brother's property, so he wouldn't go anywhere else.

Babeile ate several pieces of snacks and saturate his stomach with tea, but he still didn't make up his mind whether to drag his younger brother into the water or not. Once he succeeded, his bones would be exhausted. To become an emperor, sacrifice is necessary.

Or, take another look?Babeile thought: Fortunately, I still have other people to sacrifice.
