starling is not a bird

This time, the fourth elder brother did not forget to tell his subordinates to pick up some special products from Shandong to bring back to the palace. It is said that the officials who follow the fourth elder brother always know their master's temperament, and dare not buy too expensive ones, lest they violate taboos.

I had to pick rare and affordable ones. The things that can be called names here are nothing more than Zhanhua’s winter dates, Penglai’s sea cucumbers, Laiyang’s ephedra pears, and Fushan’s apples. Then, the fourth elder brother looked at it, was very satisfied, and asked them to make another one with donkey-hide gelatin to enter the inner palace.

Randomly ordered a few capable Xiaoqi schools to send the things back to the palace first, and specially selected a confidant under the flag to accompany him in a coat, and told him to send the things in and remember to distribute them well. I underestimated that Bao Yi took his life and followed Xiao Riding School on the road at full speed.

Xu Yinzhen went to Nishan when he was offering sacrifices to the Confucian Temple, which is the hometown of saints.A saint was born only after being touched by the aura of good fortune. Yin Zhi loved these things at first, and now that he has such a profound attendant as Chen Menglei, he naturally wants to get a taste of this aura.

The two brothers walked hand in hand, along the way, Yinzhen envied his elder brother very much, Chen Menglei was indeed worthy of being a master, with every word, and at this time he was only in his forties, and there was such a modest commentary as "A Brief Introduction to the Book of Changes".

The fourth elder brother is not very old, but he has been separated early, and he is lonely and arrogant. There are few things in the world that he admires. Wang Bi's "Zhou Yi Zhuan" and Su Shi's "Su Shi Yi Zhuan" have nothing to say, and those whose views are different from those of other schools, they express their own opinions to affirm it.

Although there are many meanings in "Yi", they are generally four: reason, number, image, and accounting.Interpreting "Yi" with the four principles of "reason, image, number, and accounting" just fits the thinking of the fourth elder brother, and it is even more embarrassing to give this kind of talent to the third elder brother. I feel more and more in my heart that my grandma does not love my uncle or uncle.

Not caring about his elder brother along the way, Yinzhen shared the confusion in his heart from reading books one by one, then Chen Menglei is also good at being a teacher, and since he has been wronged, he is also willing to approach these elder brothers, and told him in detail, and finally sighed Dao: "The existing class books are detailed in the political codes, which are not as small as insects, fish, plants, and trees, but the rhetoric is not as great as the five ways of heaven and virtue, and there are many defects. If there is a book of the same size, from ancient to modern, from ancient to modern, the categories and parts are organized. Wouldn’t it be great to use the rule of the Daguang Dynasty and the examination of scholars as a basis for the collection of Ji, and make it into a book?”

Yinzhi just smiled and listened all the way, and now he became excited: "Mr. Chen's words are very true. Although there are many laws and regulations on weekdays, they are made of mountains, rivers, plants and trees. There are all kinds of Hercynian secret methods. There is no collection of different categories. My son, it is very inconvenient to search, if the master can preside over this kind of manual inspection and make a collection of ancient and modern books, he will not be a saint and will be immortal!"

Chen Menglei became excited when he heard the words. Which literati doesn't want to leave his name in history and make a name for his children and grandchildren?The two immediately got together and began to worry about how to proceed with this matter, completely ignoring the fourth elder brother who was left out in the cold.

When he arrived at Nishan, he paid homage to the spirit stone. Yinzhen parted ways with his brother after finding an excuse. He had long heard that there were good inkstones in Nishan. Uniform black Du patterns, the stone surface is exquisite, caressing and moistening.Made an inkstone, the ink is sharp, the ink is good, and it will be used for a long time.

Thinking of my eighth younger brother who has been practicing calligraphy hard recently, although I can't teach him a thing or two, and I don't have Huang Ama's good scriptures, I want to buy a good inkstone for my younger brother.

He searched the whole street, but he couldn't find a good one. In the end, his second-class guard found a good one in the old shop. The green and black Du patterns are all over the place. It seems that the craftsman thought carefully. Along the front of the material stone, a crescent-shaped pool inkstone was engraved on the back, and the ink pool in the Kaimo Hall. Yu Boya’s picture of drums and zithers, the back of the inkstone is dug into the shape of a gui horn, and a few lines of official script inscriptions say: "The moon does not seek a circle, but the gui desires its square. The way of square and round is soft and firm."

The good brother held the inkstone with five fingers in the air, and flicked the inkstone a few times. Although the sound of this square inkstone is not a good wooden sound, it also has the meaning of a tile sound.Everyone could see the satisfaction on the master's face, and the family members who followed him had already gone to negotiate with the shopkeeper to pay without mentioning it.

The big and small masters in the palace are all in the He family, and it is common to receive gifts from the third elder brother. The child is always gentle and polite and knows how to advance and retreat, but this time is it snowing red?

The fourth child who was so gloomy all day even sent some new fruits over?Concubine De concubine looked at the donkey-hide gelatin that the empress dowager distributed, and she was not unmoved.

It is said that donkey-hide gelatin is a holy medicine, and it is also known as the three treasures of traditional Chinese medicine together with ginseng and velvet antler. But it is not uncommon in the palace to boil the special black donkey skin in Dong'e County and the unique local Langxi river water, and it is assigned to the names of various palace lords. Not much, Concubine De knew that this time the Empress Dowager gave it to her for the sake of her son coming in. When did her hard-line son become considerate?

Yinzhi and Yinzhen went back to the palace to return their errands to the emperor. The emperor was very happy, and he praised them greatly and let them go, because the Dalai Lama V asked Emperor Xi to give him a golden seal: the current minister is old, and the government affairs Most of them are in charge of Diba, and Diba, like me, acts with sincerity and sincerity.Now that Diba has presided over the main government affairs, he begged the emperor to seal it, thinking it would be a favor.

At the same time, Diba Sangye Gyalco, the son of Dalai V, also expressed his willingness to hand over the jade seal and begged for the gold seal in his own name.The emperor was sensitive to find that there was something tricky in it, but he sent the Jingshi Lama to Tibet many times to understand the situation, but he still failed to get definite information about some situations in Tibet.However, Kangxi instinctively felt that awarding Diba the Golden Seal was of great importance and that a decision should not be made lightly, so he ordered the king and ministers to discuss the matter at a meeting.

Before Yinzhen had time to greet Fujin, he went to Wuyi Palace, Babaer pulled his younger brother out, Yinhu still held the writing brush in his hand, and was still in shock, he dragged him to a corner of the palace, "Thanks to fourth brother , we have all eaten good fruit, so why are there still good ones?" Yinzhen felt that he was reckless, and when he couldn't deliver it, he wanted to call out his younger brother in front of everyone, but fortunately, the elder brothers today No, otherwise there will be something to say when I go down.

Yinhu took the Fang inkstone, did not ignore the faint color on his brother's face, sighed in his heart, this brother is still a little tender after all, thanked his brother for his kindness, and planned to go back.Yinzhen returned satisfied with his younger brother's thanks, and it was said that this matter was completed, and he could be called respectful and kind.

The seventh-rank eunuchs in Concubine Hui's palace searched all the way, saw the two elder brothers, please be safe, and passed the message in a polite manner: "Eight Lord, the empress has prepared a hot pot of gold silk, small dates, red and white ducks, and the third master is here The stewed clam soup from Zishifang is good when I come back, the eldest prince will also go there at night, and the empress told you not to eat in the big kitchen after school, but to have a taste of it with the empress." Yinhu respectfully agreed , the eunuch was satisfied and left.

The fourth elder brother next to him could hear clearly that the Zishifang clam is a rare tribute, but he never thought that the third brother would use this thing as a favor. "Fourth brother, third brother spent a lot of money. The empress dowager gave Laizhou jade phoenix. The one given to Huang Ama is a wooden fish stone cup that nourishes the spleen, calms the viscera, calms the six internal organs, and suppresses the five viscera. It is filled with air bubbles in hot weather." Seven days of tea, the color, aroma and taste will not change."

"What did the third brother give you?" Yinzhen's face was calm and unwavering.

Yinhu looked at his brother's expression, guessing that it would be rare to hide this matter from him, and replied softly: "The third brother didn't bring me anything, he just said that I practiced calligraphy hard, and Huang Ama rewarded him The Songhua stone inkstone and the double phoenix inkstone were given to me." Of course Yinzhen has seen that inkstone, the color is pure green, delicate and moist, the green is flawless, the quality is firm and fine, the color is tender and pure, it is smooth and does not reject ink, and it does not stagnate the pen. It can make the pine smoke flamboyant and brighten the money, and the ink is the same as Duanxi, and the product is on the right of Shekeng.Then look at the inkstone that my younger brother gave me, how can it match that one?I regretted it in my heart, and felt embarrassed to ask for it back.

Yinhu is a human spirit, seeing the changing expression on his brother's face, what can't he understand?Knowing that his third brother was missed by the fourth brother, he hurriedly said cautiously, "Fourth brother, I just love this Nishan inkstone. It is simple and has an aftertaste. It was given by the third brother. How can my younger brother dare to use it?"

After thinking about it, I need to change the subject now.

: "Fourth brother, although the fruit you sent is delicious, there is still a fly in the ointment!"

"What's the matter? Not enough?" Yinzhen knew that his younger brother was comforting himself, so he kept silent, and followed him, "Huang Ama has set the wedding date for the sixth younger sister. Brother, I'm afraid the apple you gave me will not wait until she gets married." It's not that you didn't think well enough?" Yinhu said with a smile, "I still think far enough!" Yinzhen didn't expect his younger brother to mention this, so he smiled faintly, "Really, four Brother, it is said that the white lotus root at Baimai Spring in Mingshui, Shandong Province is as white as jade, with a delicate texture, crispy and sweet to eat, why didn’t you bring some?” Yinhu really had something on his mind, “What’s so rare about lotus root? Is it sweeter than honey?" Yinzhen twitched his lips disapprovingly, "Why is it not rare? They say that the lotus root outside Kaifeng Mansion has no silk!" Yinhu looked at his brother seriously, "The lotus root knows that there is no silk, let alone human beings." Woolen cloth?"

In the evening, the eldest brother and Yinhu, who ate around the steaming hot pot, made a detailed list of the gifts of the third elder brother, from Yixing purple sand tea set inlaid with gold and tin to Laoshan Lushi ornaments to Qufu Kai carved kang screens. He scolded him while settling the bill: "Just to show off that he has a lot of money, that he has a lot of style, and that he has a prince on his head, so it's his turn to give rewards everywhere?"

Yinhu just smiled and listened to the elder brother's complaints, nodding and making noises to him from time to time, which satisfied the elder brother's mood very much. Two inches continuously, reflecting the butter candlelight, golden light, no wonder it is called Jinsixiaozao, well-deserved reputation.

The third brother was a brat to begin with, no matter how many petty tricks he did, it was nothing to be ruthless about. This time, he was so high-profile, if he didn't make sure that some people didn't like him, he would be dealt with by himself.

Why should I worry about anything, but remember to take out the inkstone that my fourth brother gave me every day from tomorrow onwards, and leave writing and painting.

It's a pity that no matter whether it's the elder brother sitting around the stove, the crown prince gnashing his teeth, or the fourth elder brother who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, flipping pancakes on the bed, none of them expected that the third elder brother Yinzhi really had no bad intentions this time. , It can even be said that he has a clear conscience and is above board.
