starling is not a bird

Not long after the elder brother left the household department, he saw the ninth elder brother dragging the tenth elder brother to the household department, followed by a pile of haha ​​beads, holding Lao Gao's file and stumbling along in a hurry, thinking that it was true The fourth child is especially good at training people?The two younger brothers who are so rebellious and unruly feel good under his hands.The elder brother was not in a hurry to leave immediately, and stood there waiting for the younger brothers to come to see him.Ninth elder brother is a smart person. He saw that the eldest brother's expression was not right, and thought that fourth brother had offended someone indiscriminately.

Pulling the younger brother together to salute politely, the elder brother hummed a few vague voices in response, and the ninth elder brother didn't dare to go first, so he had to rack his brains to find a way to strike up a conversation, and the two hummed From the weather to the banquet, from the garden to the clothes, the elder brother finally came to his senses and asked: "Of course Huang Ama said that you two should follow the school to do business, and it was just a gentleman's father. After a lot of painstaking efforts, now it seems that Huang Ama has a unique sacred heart, but in a few days, you will have a good posture, and it will not be long before you can use it!"

Such a sour tone has never been the big brother's style. Could it be that he really hit a wall with the fourth brother?Ninth elder brother was crying in his heart, lowered his head and squinted at tenth elder brother, and tenth elder brother hurriedly said: "Brother, you are so hard on us, who doesn't know that Huang Ama has always asked us to learn from you, Wencheng Wude You are full of power and prestige, big brother, you must be less aggressive, and leave a way for us, younger brother!"

Hearing these nonsensical words, the elder brother is not flattering, nor ironic, and it is difficult to refute him. He also knows in his heart that he is just venting his anger on others. The eighth elder brother has always been obedient to himself , This time he refuted him face to face, he must have his considerations, but the elder brother is still not used to the way of letting his younger brother do everything on weekdays.Seeing the two in front of him who were also following the fourth brother recently, running back and forth, he made up his mind to show them some face.

: "I thought you had learned some real things by following the fourth elder brother, but you are still so frivolous, but I think you are too high!" The elder brother saw that the younger brothers in front of him did not agree , I became more and more irritable, flicked my sleeves, picked up my legs and left, leaving my two younger brothers to look at the back of my head.

The two of them who vaguely guessed why the elder brother was in a bad mood entered the household department, and saw the fourth brother and the eighth brother, you write to me, and you copy the accounts, I report the count, Mo Lan and Chen Bi's clothes are reflected in the window pane With the dark sun coming in, the two standing in front of the boxwood shelf looked like a painting, and they looked really harmonious.

But it made people feel extremely uncomfortable. Brother Jiu took the file from Haha Zhuzi and pressed it heavily on the table: "Fourth Brother, we brought the things here! Myna, why don't you come and see?"

Before the eighth elder brother answered, the fourth elder brother slowly looked at the brothers and said, "But it's worth showing some merit if you get something? Let someone go to see it, come over and discuss the disaster relief money from Jiangsu and Zhejiang! "

A few people were busy, and it was not until the sun set that the headcount of the affected households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was counted, and the relief money was calculated according to the number of people. After all, the cash money from the household department was not enough. Afraid of affecting this year's spring plowing, the eighth elder brother saw that there would be no result after discussion for a while, so he smiled and suggested to write an excerpt to Huang Ama and let Huang Ama make a decision, so the fourth elder brother let some younger brothers go back.

Across the high palace wall, the greenness of the willow branches is slightly brewing in the mid-spring weather, patches of green clouds are floating in the high places, reflecting the faint crimson sunset glow, inexplicable joy surges in my heart .Elder Brother Ten jumped up and folded a willow branch, played with it in his hand, weaved a circle of grass and put it on Brother Jiu's head. It was piercing his heart, and with a strange cry, he went to lift Brother Ten and threw him to the ground. Brother Ten laughed and wrestled with him in the middle of the road.The eighth elder brother didn't stop them either, just stood aside with a smile and applauded!

The maids holding food boxes were hurrying along the palace road, but they never forgot to greet them with a smile when passing by. Elder brother's strength is growing, and he can handle it with ease.It wasn't until Xiaojiu bit hard on Brother Ten's wrist that Brother Ten let go of the pain and was pushed away by Brother Jiu.Rubbing his wrists, Elder Brother Ten looked at Brother Ninth, who was flushed with pride and his eyes were full of pride. The bite didn't seem to be biting himself, and he just groaned heavily.

: "It's getting late, do you still have the strength to continue? Otherwise, go back. I have good mutton soup stewed in my house, and there are also good sea bass from the south. If you leave it for a long time, you will be afraid of getting fishy!" The eighth brother took out a sweat towel Brother Jiu took it and wiped it all over before handing it to Brother Ten. Brother Ten didn't mind, and carefully wiped off the sweat on his neck before saying with a smile: "It's all dirty by my brother." Already, let’s return the good one to brother tomorrow!” Eighth elder brother said: “What precious things, who doesn’t have a cabinet? If you want to return it, take a big cart full and drag it here!”

Before the tenth elder brother could say anything, the ninth elder brother laughed beside him: "Old Shitian was born with a petty temper, and he can't change it in eight lifetimes. Let's learn it slowly!"

"Brother, is the fourth brother angry with the eldest brother again today? We have low ideas, and just happened to meet, and somehow we made a few non-yin, yang, and oil-salt remarks. It's really bad luck!"

The eighth brother immediately understood, pursed his lips and didn't answer, if the elder brother doesn't have the capacity to accommodate people, why not let it go, how can he have so much energy to explain everything in the future?Patted Brother Nine on the shoulder, and said lightly: "This time you wronged Fourth Brother, and Big Brother is full of anger. If Fourth Brother only takes four points, six points are for me. Don't mention this matter, let's go!" , I’m afraid that the fish has traveled all the way for thousands of miles, and it won’t be able to wait for us to use it, it’s already waiting on the plate!”

The brothers looked at each other with a haha ​​and smiled, and hand in hand they headed towards Elder Brother's place.

Eldest elder brother was holding back his anger, but the servant behind him dared not make a sound, so he followed him all the way back to elder brother's office in three steps at a time. Dress the girls in new clothes.Seeing the elder brother coming in, getting up to take off his cloak, he saw that his husband had a strange expression on his face.

They have been young couples for many years, Da Fujin naturally knew his husband's temperament, and did not ask what happened to him, but followed carefully behind, and softly ordered those Ge Ge to set the table and pour tea, and sent another person to the kitchen to urge meals .

When the elder brother entered the main room and sat down on the Eight Immortals chair with a big horse and a golden knife, Da Fujin took the tea brought by Wu Yashi, and after boasting that it was warm, he bowed and handed it to the elder brother, and told Wu Yashi to come again Went to bring a cup, the elder brother walked all the way, took it with dry mouth and drank it all in one go, just when he felt that he was not satisfied, Da Fujin handed over another cup, the eldest elder brother snatched it as if he had caught the rain I didn't feel comfortable until the fourth cup.

Da Fujin watched her husband's expression gradually calm down, and then said warmly: "My husband has worked hard today, let's wash your face first and then eat!" Mrs. Qian was already standing by the side holding a copper basin, seeing that the elder brother nodded and rushed over Kneeling, holding the copper basin above his head, when the elder brother was about to bow his head, Da Fujin hurriedly took the towel and said, "My husband, please sit and rest, let us serve you!" As soon as he moved, Da Fujin threw the towel into hot water, wrung it dry to clean his face, and when the hot towel was applied, all the sweat and dust on his face disappeared, and he felt refreshed immediately.

Da Fujin looked at Wu Yashi with her eyes, she hurriedly walked behind the elder brother and began to rub his shoulders, the elder brother closed his eyes and smiled: "My daughter-in-law loves me, this is worse than giving ginseng to my father Useful!" Da Fujin replied softly: "My master is used to making us happy, what can we women do? It's just that we are thinking about my master, and we are thinking about my master in everything!"

At this time, the eldest elder brother moaned and asked Wu Yashi to exert force on the left and right sides. Although the muscles and bones did not rub, they felt a little more relaxed. Knowing that the woman had no strength, the eldest elder brother patted Wu Yashi with his hands, opened his eyes and met her. Looking at Da Fujin, he said: "It's hard to serve you comfortably, but that's enough. The meal will be served soon, and there are still things to do in the evening!"

Da Fujin saw that the elder brother was interested, and immediately said that it would be more lively to let several princesses come and eat together. The eldest elder brother nodded in agreement, and the table in the main room was filled with seven plates and eight bowls. Leading a few princesses over to say hello to the elder brother, the elder brother hugged one in his arms to tease, and the older ones sat next to Da Fujin.

Da Fujin personally held the pot and poured Yuquan wine for a few rounds before giving up. After the meal, he brought a few little princesses over to tease him for fun. Ama's screams made her feel soft, promised jewelry and clothes, and tied her beard in her arms. The little girl screamed strangely, and the waiters next to her were singing and flattering, and the elder brother couldn't help but use more After a few cups, I will feel dizzy, and no amount of unhappiness will be forgotten.

By the way, the fourth brother’s dinner here is deserted. Seeing that the relief money from Jiangsu and Zhejiang can’t be in place, just now he received a list from Liang Jiu of Shuntian Mansion, saying that the renovation of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was in accordance with Emperor Kangxi’s wishes. Magnificent atmosphere.

Take out the sketch, the pillars of the main hall should be made of nanmu, and the Ministry of Households should send money to Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places to buy them. The pavement from the outer hall to the inner point should use Fangshan stone materials, and the foundation of the hall should be raised. Ma also promised that he would lay the carved gold bricks fired by the official kilns in the south of the Yangtze River. According to this rough calculation, there is not a few hundred thousand taels of silver. This project may not be completed, but where can I find this injection of silver?The fourth elder brother held the chopsticks and the root of his tongue was astringent. He took a few mouthfuls of rice and stopped using the chopsticks.

Kangxi held the Ministry of Rites in his hand. In February, General Sabusu of Heilongjiang requested to set up a school in the two wings of the Mergen area. Under the leadership of Lun and Daur Zhuzuo, each year selects a young child to teach calligraphy.

I remember that when I exiled Wu Zhaoqian, Yang Yue and others from Guannei to Ninggu Pagoda, I also gave Mizhe Sabusu to treat these literati preferentially. .I heard that when they arrived in the local area, they not only taught apprentices, but also wrote poems and essays, which made the original delusion of disrespecting the emperor a little bit.In the future, Qiqihar and Yuanhui can also be handled in the same way. The Heilongjiang area has always been bitterly cold. If the official school can be established, it will also be an education by the imperial court.

I was thinking about the Wannian foundation of the Aixinjueluo family's emperor, but I saw the messenger rushing in with a stack of urgent reports. Kangxi took a look and stroked his forehead. It turned out to be Gartu, the governor of Shanxi. It is reported that on the sixth day of April, an earthquake occurred in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province. Countless houses collapsed and tens of thousands of people were injured!

The emperor immediately sent the official Xingchi to Shanxi to investigate the damage caused by the earthquake, but no matter how anxious he was, the official did not send back the post report until April [-]th, saying that all the houses in the disaster-stricken areas of Shanxi counties were destroyed, and the local population Most of them were injured and died, and the disaster was very serious. The situation is urgent.Kangxi hurriedly convened various ministries to discuss how to relieve the disaster, and then sent Ma Qichiyi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to the disaster area to find out all the money and food that the affected area had applied for this year, and finally decided to stop collecting all of them.

He also ordered the Ministry of Households to give two taels of silver to the people affected by the disaster in Shanxi, and to the people who were unable to repair their houses, to give one tael of silver to each family.A total of 10,000+ taels of silver came and went, and the fourth elder brother moved around in the household department every day, and there was less money for this. In addition, Kangxi was pressing hard, and within a few days he had a toothache and got angry, half of his face It was swollen. Fortunately, he was used to being cold-faced, and no one came to laugh at him.The fourth elder brother really wanted to stop the project of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but a little mention would be enough, Kangxi was full of heart to be a Mingjun in the prosperous age, if the main hall was not well repaired, how could the ancestors be willing to protect it?The fourth elder brother was bored, so he had to go back and move elsewhere.

Natural and man-made disasters are unavoidable, but some people in the court always like to make use of the topic, what is a vision in the sky, a warning from the emperor, Kangxi has never believed in these, but it is inevitable that he will also issue warm edicts to appease the hearts of the people. The Eight Banners have entered the Central Plains for many years, but the Ming Dynasty The bereaved family has always been treacherous. In the past few years, they have suffered disasters year after year, and Kangxi also thought about waiting for the repair of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to pay homage to heaven, so as to block the mouths of those people.

The crown prince is quite quiet at the moment. After all, the country is going to be handed over to him, so he doesn't dare to be careless. He asks the disciples and officials to discuss the disposal plan every day, and he thinks carefully before going to advise Huang Ama , the father and son are also getting closer, Kangxi is so relieved that he has a good son, who knows how to share the worries of the Lord.

The eldest elder brother and the third elder brother also wanted to show off. One said that natural disasters should be prevented from man-made disasters, and the other said that rites and music should be educated. I read all the memorials, and Zhu approved that it was feasible, but I didn't let them go to Shanxi for business.

On the first day of May, there was still no one guest to bother the two masters. Kangxi sent Ma Qi to the disaster area again to provide relief. At the same time, he told Shanxi Governor Gartu to set up a factory and live in the disaster area to rescue the affected people and wait for the decree from the capital. Do not rush Busy back to the provincial capital.He also asked Ma Qi to inspect the disaster situation in detail after arriving in Shanxi, and then inform the local people of the situation in various places through notices, and they must not move and disperse at will due to panic.He also sent an order to Zhou Fuxing, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, ordering him to lead the officers and soldiers to act cheaply and properly protect the affected areas, so as to prevent local bad guys and town standard soldiers from robbing and disturbing the people.

The position of governor of a province has always been very popular. Here, Ma Qi went to Shanxi, and the censors in the capital wrote letters one after another saying that Gartu, as a local official, failed to perform his duties due to the disaster in Shanxi, and should be strictly investigated and dealt with.Kangxi looked at the mountain of impeachment papers on the case, and he didn't know what it was like, thinking about how high-spirited he was when he first came to the throne, and he used all the talented officials who became famous at a young age, but now they are all graying.

Sighing, he sent Gartu to the Ministry of Officials for discussion, and the Ministry of Officials finished the discussion. According to the prince's wishes, he asked him to dismiss Gartu from his post and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishments.Kangxi weighed the thick booklet in his hand, picked up the ink brush and wrote: "Agreed to be dismissed, exempted from handing over to the Ministry of Punishment".

It's a pity that Kangxi hasn't decided who his successor is, but this kind of treatment has reassured many people and touched the scales of some people.

The fourth elder brother looked at the IOUs sent by the Ministry of Household Relief for the earthquake victims in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province. This time, the total silver was 12 taels. Huang Ama also issued a decree, saying that Linfen, Hongdong, Fushan, and Xiangling would be stopped. Taxes in the four counties.The eighth brother knows that there is a lot of hustle and bustle recently, the household department must be short of money and food, and he is not a capable person, so why bother to go forward to make himself unhappy?After reporting back to Huang Ama, he took his younger brothers to set up a porridge shop in Shanxi with the money from their private houses.

Although Kangxi heard that his younger sons had made some business deals, he didn't expect them to be very successful, but he just didn't want to mess around, it's good to earn ideas and pocket expenses.Unexpectedly, it was an unexpected joy to get the military newspaper in the Northwest. Now that I heard that I could spend a considerable amount of money to share the court's worries, I suddenly felt that my family's species was different. Concubine Yi and Concubine Wei couldn't help showing a little bit in front of them, and treated them very kindly.A mother who can raise such a sensible son is not far behind.

The palace is full of smart people, where can't they get the wind?There are more palace people who came to Concubine Wei to say hello, and the food from the kitchen has become more exquisite. Since Xiao Jiu opened the shop, Brother Ba has money in his hand, and he will go to Concubine Wei if he doesn't give it a chance. Nasai, I found a good tonic and jewelry from outside the palace, and I also took a food box and asked Ge Ge to send it over.Concubine Wei is a cautious person, never ostentatious, and she is even more careful when she goes to the palace's noble lords, she is more careful than before, which saves a lot of trivial matters.

Today, I was sitting at Concubine Rong's place chatting about Chunri's recipes, and sure enough something happened to provoke me!
