He Shen

On the first day of Shanbao's arrival, he should go to pay his respects to Fu Heng, but unfortunately he failed to do so.During dinner, I learned that Mr. Fu was still in the palace and hadn't come back. He didn't see Mr. Fu until he went to sleep.

Until the early morning of the next day, Shanbao always got up at 05:30, the biological clock was there, and it was very punctual.

It's not that he is diligent, the key is that there are really no entertainment programs at night, and Shanbao never reads at night for fear of hurting his eyes.After dinner, talk to Fukang'an for a while, then drive him away, and then go to bed.

Go to bed early and get up early naturally.

When Fukang'an was dressed neatly and climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard to cover Shanbao's bed, he found that Shanbao had already risen, and he felt depressed.

The beauty was blocked from the house when she came out of the bath.

The beauty got up, but he came a step late.

What kind of luck is this? Fukang'an even wants to go to the temple to worship.

Shanbao wiped his face clean and put on some cream in front of the mirror.Putting down the rolled up cuffs, he asked, "Is uncle at home, do you want to go and say hello to uncle first?"

Fukang'an leaned closer to smell the fragrance of Shanbao's body, took it into his heart, took Shanbao's hand to look up and down the bunt on Shanbao's body, and said with a smile, "You just go with this body."

Shanbao was puzzled, frowned, looked down at the pea green shorts with rose red wide brims on his body, came back to his senses, patted his forehead and smiled, "I just got punched, I just washed my face, and forgot to change my clothes."

Shanbao ordered Jinzhu to find a formal dress to change into. With a smile on his face, Fukang'an touched Shanbao's neck and helped Shanbao unbutton his neck, saying, "On the first day, change into festive clothes. After breakfast, let's go for a walk in the city."

Alas, this little neck is thin and tender.

The tofu was so pleasant to eat, Fukang'an's mean smile fell into Shanbao's eyes.

Shanbao remained calm, glanced at the dawdling hand that didn't even unbutton a single button, and said softly, "Alright, there's something else I want to ask you."

"We two don't need to be so estranged, let's just say it." As we got closer, the scent became clearer, and Fukang'an couldn't help asking, "Shanbao, have you smoked incense?"

"What kind of incense? No." Shanbao poured a pot of cold water down with a smile, "I'm thinking of buying a house here. You are familiar with this place. Ask the steward for me. Just enter the yard three times."

Fukang'an shivered, and his face became cold. He paused his hand that was unbuttoning his shirt, and asked, "But some servants are not considerate, or do you live in a comfortable place? What kind of house do you buy?"

Shanbao and Fukang'an looked at each other's eyes for a moment, and after hearing Fukang'an panting like a cow, he said slowly, "I don't live here."

"You don't live, what do you buy a house for? It's for fun?"

You, are you fooling a fool?If you don't live now, you should live if you buy it.Hum hum!

Fukang'an began to ponder Shanbao's intention to buy the house.

Seeing Jinzhu approaching with the clothes in his hands, Shanbao took it and untied his belt.Jin Zhu gently and neatly waited on Shanbao to take off his coat and put on new clothes.

Fukang'an just asked from the sidelines, "Why are you buying a house? Are you anxious to kill me?"

Buttoned, belted, changed boots, Shanbao stood up, brushed off his sleeves, smiled, "I will live with Liu Quan and the others. Forget it, let's talk about it in a few days, the shop hasn't been found yet."

"Liu Quan'er is coming too..."

The two asked and answered, and when they left the courtyard, Fukang'an remembered, I, didn't I plan to change Shanbao's clothes?

I……

I, am I being fooled, am I?

Stealing a peek at Shanbao, he was a gentle and jade-like young man, his face was the same as usual, Shanbao turned his head slightly, and gave Fu Kang'an a smile, "This garden is really beautiful. It's the first time I've seen such a delicate garden. As long as you don't dislike me, I wish I could stay longer."

Hearing this, Fukang'an felt at ease, as if he had eaten a elixir, he stepped forward and took Shanbao's little hand, pinching and pinching, "From then on, as long as you drive with me, you will live with me." what.

Shanbao smiled and poured a basin of cold water over it, and said in a warm voice, "It's been fine for the past few years. If I get married and have a wife and children in the future, I will inevitably bring them over here. Can I bring my family along with me?" May I bother you?"

what?

marry?

Drag children and daughters?

Fukang'an was silent, yes, Shanbao is the eldest son in the family, a manly man, Guangzong Yaozu can't forget, and reproduction is also a major event in life.From oneself to the other, of course he couldn't stop Shanbao, Fukang'an quickly figured it out, women are just tools for giving birth to sons, it's no big deal.

"Shanbao, tell me what kind of woman you want, and I will ask my mother to help you pay attention." Fukang'an's enthusiastic inquiry meant to be a matchmaker for Shanbao, but Shanbao ate it Surprised.

Could it be that he blamed Fukang'an wrongly, and this person thinks that he is Hong Guoguo's good friend?

But if he's a good friend, can he touch his ass while sleeping on the same bed?When unbuttoning and taking off his clothes, do you use your hands and feet?

But if Fukang An was really interested in him and heard that he got married, wouldn't it be this kind of reaction?

Shanbao was fascinated and thought about it, with a smile on his face, "It's not like you don't know about my situation. I live with my uncle and aunt, and I don't have much property, and I don't show my official status. As long as I have a good appearance and a good character, I will be satisfied. gone."

"Why do you despise yourself." Fu Kang'an said seriously, "How old are you. If you want me to say, it is very decent to be an imperial guard. Don't say such despondent words, which woman can marry you is a blessing. "

Shanbao is not actually inferior. These days, the Manchus are a privileged class.He was fortunate to be born as a bannerman, but his family belongs to the middle and lower class among the bannermen, and it is incomparable with the Fucha's family, which is a high-ranking and well-known family.And his family has another disadvantage, there are few people. These days, they pay attention to the ostentation of the clan. His family tends to be single-passed, and it has been passed down to his generation. up.

Man Han is not married, and he is not qualified to refer to marriage. If he wants to get married, he can only choose from among the undrafted girls.

That is to say, others pick out the leftovers, pick out the generals from the scorpion, and choose one to be his wife.

Thinking of this, Shanbao felt a little unhappy.

Well, in history, who did He Shen marry... Shanbao couldn't help worrying about his future wife.

The big family has strict rules. Fukang'an dragged Shanbao to stand on the porch, and asked the little maid at the door, "Ama is up? I'll come with Shanbao to say hello."

The little girl went in and reported to Fukang'an and Shanbaohou.

Having nothing to do, Shanbao looked at Fu Heng's yard. It was really spacious and magnificent. The yard entered by Xiaosan had its own small garden. The flowers are exquisite and outrageous.

"Ama must have come back late yesterday." Fukang'an explained in a low voice, afraid of being paranoid.

Shanbao nodded agreeably, "Uncle is an important minister in the military, so he is busy, but he has to pay attention to his health, taking care of himself is the most important thing."

After Fu Heng washed and washed, he sat in the flower hall, waited for Fukang'an and Shanbao to greet him, and asked Shanbao with a smile, "Are you still used to living here?"

Shanbao smiled and said, "It should be good, I have never lived in such a good house. Fukang'an treats people warmly, otherwise I have to go to the inn to rent a house."

"You are classmates, so you should take care of each other." Fu Heng said with a smile. He has a good temper and was born young, not like a grandfather at all.

Although Fu Heng accompanied Qianlong most of the time, he didn't know what he should know. He was very satisfied with Fu Kang'an's care of Shanbao. Heretics."

Shanbao responded with a smile, and Fu Heng said to Fu Kang'an, "Your elder brother is coming back soon. The house on the east side of the small lake is where he used to live. I have ordered someone to clean it up. You should go and have a look at it when you are free at home. Is there anything inappropriate, make yourself comfortable."

"Ama, when will the eldest brother arrive?" Fukangan said with a smile, "My son hasn't seen him for three years."

"If there is no delay on the road, it will arrive in about ten days." Fu Heng was very solemn, "Arrange some servants who are awake, and order them in the small kitchen. When he comes back, I will cook some nourishing soup for him. .”

Fukang smiled, "My son remembers, and the arrangements will be made properly."

Fu Heng nodded, and saw the maid come in to report, "Grandfather, please see me."

"Eldest brother-in-law?" Fu Kang'an was puzzled, "It's early in the morning, if there is something urgent, Amma should invite elder brother-in-law in?"

The big forehead refers to the husband of Gu Lun and Princess Jing, Sebuten Baljur, the Fuguo Duke. Of course, this forehead was originally a prince, but he was deposed because of the Amu Sana rebellion. Later, there was little news. After a while, Qianlong's anger also dissipated. It was hard to see that his son-in-law didn't have a title, so he made a Fuguo Duke.Now Sebuten baljuer is serving as the Minister of Lifan Academy, and he is in charge of some matters concerning the tribute and state letters of the Fan Kingdom.

Because Princess He Jing treated her mother's family with courtesy, and the power of the Fucha family was there, Sebutengbaljur would ask Fu Heng for advice if there was any difficulty. Fu Heng is such a seasoned person, he is in charge, and Qianlong Taking care of her, Buten Baljur has been going quite smoothly for the past few years.

Sebutengbalezhuer wore the official uniform of Yipin Shangshu Crane and Xialiang official hat. He saluted Fu Heng first when he entered the door. Is there something urgent?"

Sebuten Baljur also came a lot. Sitting in the right seat of Fu Heng, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Uncle, it's urgent. I wanted to ask my uncle for an idea, but since my uncle was driving with me and I was not free, I had to come in the morning."

Shanbao was always alert, afraid that there would be something he shouldn't listen to, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle, my lord, since there are important national affairs, I will take my leave first."

Sebuten Balezhuer was raised in the palace since he was a child, and his etiquette has always been very good. Because of his anxiety, he didn't pay attention to good protection. At this time, he looked carefully and asked with a smile, "Uncle, is this Tanhualang?"

Fu Heng smiled and said, "The forehead also knows about Shanbao?"

"I heard from Yong'er that your dim sum is very novel and delicious." Sebuten Baljur understood Shanbao's concerns, smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, Tanhualang, listen to it, you scholars know There are many, maybe I can help out with ideas.”

Fukang'an asked with concern, "Ama, what's bothering you, why don't you tell me, maybe my son can help you think of a way."

"The envoys of the Siam Kingdom came to pay tribute, and the capital they arrived at first came to Rehe. They hurriedly caught up with the imperial driver along the way, and they rested at the posthouse yesterday." Sebuten Balezhuer Sighed, "These small countries don't know the etiquette. In addition to the pearls, jade, gems, cloth and cloth, they also brought some fruits. One of them, I don't know why it was delayed by the long distance, so it was not put away, it was broken, and it stinks." Coax."

Fukang'an said in surprise, "This is disrespectful, and the Holy Majesty will know that he will be angry."

The emperor was angry, and the blood flowed.

Whether it is good or bad will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Sebuten Baljur was worried about this, and that person was not a good-natured person, "Several adults in the Lifan Academy were about to cry, and asked the envoys of the Siam Kingdom, but they still refused to admit it. That’s what it tastes like. Cut one for us to taste, the post house made them so smoked that they dare not live in it, how can it be a food.”

Fu Heng was a very calm person, and asked, "What's the name of this thing?"

"durian."

Shanbao stared in surprise, durian?Did he hear correctly?

Fu Heng thought for a while, "It sounds familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Fukangan touched his chin and looked at Shanbao, "Do you have any ideas?"

Fu Heng and Sebuten Baljur looked at Shanbao together, Shanbao pursed his lips and said, "I remember that there is a record of durian in "Compendium of Materia Medica"."

"Oh, yes, yes, you young people still have a good memory." Fu Heng understood a little bit, and remembered it, and smiled, "Yes, there is in "Compendium of Materia Medica", Shanbao, do you still remember how Speaking of it, is it this thing?"

"It is recorded in "Materia Medica" that it can be used as medicine. It is sweet and warm, non-toxic, and it is mainly used for diarrhea and cold air."

Sebuten Baljur said anxiously, "Yes, uncle, several adults under me have checked the books, but the "Materia Medica" didn't say that it smells bad. According to the rules, I have to Present the letter of credence on behalf of Siam, and the tribute must also enter the palace. This thing is presented directly to the imperial court. If it is broken, not to mention that the country of Siam will not be good. .”

"This is difficult. The tribute is listed in the national certificate, and it's too late to replace it at this time." Fu Kang'an said nothing, and Fu Heng gave him a hard look.You still dare to exchange tributes, do you think your life is too long?

Shanbao was stunned for a while. He didn't know what Siam was, but he knew about durian. Before he had time to think about why people don't know durian at this moment, he asked, "My lord, what about durian?" It's quite big, so it must be so big," he asked, gesturing with his hands, "it must weigh four or five catties, and the outside looks rough and burrs, golden yellow, isn't it?"

"Well, Shanbao has seen it before?" Sebuten Baljur asked repeatedly as if seeing a savior.

Shanbao felt it was funny in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "I just heard it said. This durian does taste a bit indecent, but it's delicious," he frowned, wondering if he could help him After getting a few, Shanbao said, "It tastes sweet and glutinous, smooth like cheese. It was recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica", maybe it was not liked by people at that time, and it has not been handed down. I just heard it from a few foreigners occasionally. I mentioned it before, otherwise I wouldn’t recognize it, but it sounds a bit similar to what my son-in-law said.”

Sebuten Balezhuer's eyes lit up, well, it's fine if it's not broken, but it's disrespectful to present something bad to the imperial court.He asked Shanbao again, "Is there anything wrong with eating this thing?"

"No. Eating durian is very beneficial to the human body. There is a saying of 'one durian and three chickens'. It is a great tonic. Don't eat too much at one time. After eating durian, don't drink alcohol within five hours , and wine. I heard that in the place where durians are produced, there is a saying, "Dian sarong, buy durians; durians are red, suitcases are empty", saying that local girls would rather take off their skirts and sell them to taste durians."

Fu Heng listened amusedly, and said with a smile, "It's true that every place has its own customs."

Sebutengbalezhuer couldn't understand it, and said with a smile, "Yes, such a thing, one smells it and you don't even want to eat it, but it's so popular there."

After solving the worries of his nephew and son-in-law, Fu Heng did not hesitate to praise him, "Shanbao really deserves to be a Tanhualang. He has extensive knowledge and knowledge, and he is also quite insightful about customs in various places. He solved a big problem for me."

Shanbao smiled modestly, "It's just a coincidence. I usually like to read some miscellaneous books and talk to foreigners. They don't understand the scriptures of our Qing Dynasty, so I just talk about eating customs for fun. How can I think that these are useful? .”

The more Fu Heng looked at Shanbao, the more he liked him, and said with a smile, "This will come in handy. You have a good habit. Just reading those four books and five classics is just to know some principles of life, read a lot of books, and gain insight. Usually people say geography Customs seem to be useless words. When fighting a war, these are basic common sense. You have to read like Shanbao, so that you don’t become sour and rotten.”

"Uncle is overrated."

Fu Hengdao, "Do you have free time today? Why don't you just go and look at those new gadgets with the forehead. If you know someone, talk to the people in the Lifan Academy. They also have a bottom line. Those envoys will say no for a long time. to the point."

Since Shanbao helped, Fu Heng was not hesitant to give him a chance to stand out.

Sebuten Balejul also strongly agreed, he was really confused by these Siamese people, he had never seen a bunch of things before.

Shanbao thought to himself, it's okay to go, but Li Fanyuan is a serious professional, so if he is used to point fingers, even if he is kind, it is hard to guarantee that someone will be slapped in the eye, so don't act foolishly. The rafters, don't they rot before they are found?If you don't go, you will offend Fu Heng and the big forehead.

Shanbao was a little embarrassed, hesitantly said, "I only remembered this durian after listening to it occasionally. It was the first time I heard the name in Siam, not afraid of my uncle and Mr. Forebo's jokes. Durian has a special taste and looks It’s also special, so I dare to admit it. If it’s anything else, it’s all on paper, even if you know the name, you may not be able to match it. To be honest, I’m really not sure.”

What Shanbao said is true. He laid the groundwork earlier. I heard it, and I heard it with my ears. Even when I read books, I make mistakes. What's more, my ancestors have long said that "hearing is believing, seeing is believing" , this is related to the tribute of advancement, it is normal to be cautious.

Thinking about it this way, Fu Heng felt that Shanbao was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he could stand the opportunity to stand out in front of him, and praised, "What you said is also reasonable. Although the other entrances are strange, it's okay." It's not that weird and indecent."

Shanbao and Fu Heng talked speculatively, and Fu Heng stayed with him, and shared breakfast with Sebutenbaljur.

Qianlong is a man who likes new things.

The point is, it's not enough for something to be fresh, it has to make him look happy.

Because the matter was related to Sebuten Baljur, Fu Heng vaccinated Qianlong first. There are several kinds of fruits in Siam, and it is not easy to transport them from thousands of miles. It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica", what are the benefits, the girls there are greedy for this, and they can even pawn their skirts for a bite.

Such a talk made Qianlong amused.

Fu Heng rolled his eyes in his heart, the old man was not unhappy when he heard the girl taking off her skirt.

Qianlong was about to pass it in to see the freshness, Fu Heng added, "It just doesn't smell very elegant, but I heard that it tastes very good."

"Like stinky tofu?" Qianlong asked with a smile, "It smells stinky and tastes delicious."

"Long live the wise man." You wouldn't have gotten any gossip in advance, would you have made your eldest son-in-law anxious all night, and his hair almost turned gray.

Qianlong was a little curious, "I heard that people in the Lifan Academy are very worried about this durian. Where did you find out the origin of this fruit today? You even know about the girl pawning her skirt to buy the fruit?"

Admit it, admit it directly.Not only did he admit it, but he also turned against the general.

Fu Heng really wanted to ask, who did you listen to?He still replied respectfully, "It's a coincidence that the servant heard from Shanbao. He is indeed the Tanhua Lang handpicked by the Lord Long Live, with a wide range of knowledge."

"Well, good to keep your homeland?" Qianlong put his hands on his knees, playing with the suet jade pendant on his waist.

"Yes, he was classmates with Fu Kang'an in Xian'an Palace earlier, and his family had no property in Rehe, so Fu Kang'an invited him to settle in the garden."

Qianlong raised his eyebrows, nonchalantly, "They have a good relationship?"

"Fukang'an treats people with sincerity. Shanbao also behaves like a human being."

Qianlong thought about it quietly for a while, "Forget it."
