Master, do you recognize it?

The fourth master remembered that he was dead, and he died twice. The first time he died, he looked at the blurred faces around him, but he felt relieved when he died for the second time. I feel that the depression that has been entangled in my chest for the past few years has quietly dissipated...

No matter how you toss and make trouble, it has nothing to do with you!

The fourth master opened his eyes again and looked at the dilapidated roof replaced with styled pillars and carved beams. He felt refreshed. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have rich clothes, fine food, glory and wealth, as long as he doesn't have to face those pretentious things all day long, simple food and simple food are far better After passing the jade grain and golden water shield, who cares about the extravagance in the two lives?

Anyway, I don't care!

So the fourth master turned over in such a refreshed manner under the stunned gazes of the two boys, and was satisfied with the handsome brother in the mirror while the two boys were crying. The passer-by A who came here flicked his braids with different thoughts in his eyes, and waited for him to tear off the gauze on his forehead before he realized that the beautiful woman with twinkling eyes in Zhongxing Pengyue belonged to his body amidst the screams of a group of people. Auntie is also the real head of the Niu Gulu Mansion.

"Shanbao, you are safe and sound, these days I am really worried to death."

The beautiful woman smiled cleverly, and the tearful little Zhengtai who threw herself on the fourth master turned her head and gave her a resentful look. Dare not to speak out, the fourth master stroked the smooth forehead of the little Zhengtai and looked at the beautiful woman silently for a moment, staring straight at her. The pretentious frown on her face couldn't be held back before she suddenly smiled: "That's really my fault."

The beautiful woman was slightly taken aback. The fourth master was too lazy to tangle with her, so he pushed away the young lady who was on his lap like an octopus, and threw it by the neck to the servants to take him to the study: "I'm fine, Auntie doesn't need it." I'm worried."

"But……"

What else did the beautiful woman want to say, the fourth master had already walked out of the door, the sun was still early, and the grass was growing and the warblers were flying under the clear sky.

Speaking of which, I really haven't walked around the street like this for some years.

The fourth master walked leisurely on the bluestone road, looking casually at the street stalls, horses and carriages, bustling crowds, a mess, full of Beijing accents and children's laughter, familiar yet unfamiliar, just like He couldn't remember whether he tried the candied haws that the half-grown child bought for his younger brother just now.

It is said that he has always been a quiet person, but seeing this scene at this moment has a different meaning.Whether it is the solemnity of the Qianqing Palace or the dignity of the Compassionate Ning Palace, it is not as solid as the uneven bluestone ground under the feet at this moment, and the freshness of the wontons sold all over the street has finally disturbed the lingering sandalwood in the memory.

"Have a bowl."

Fourth Master hesitated for a moment, but after all he couldn't resist the temptation, so he randomly picked a fairly clean booth and sat down, ignoring the sweaty persuasion of the servant behind him.

noble?Honor what?

Isn't it because he finally became disrespectful that he had the opportunity to eat this bowl of small ravioli on the street?

Fourth Master ate small wontons slowly, and listened to the gossip of passers-by, such as the news about Qianlong's death, the new emperor's ascension to the throne, and the news that elder brother Eleven was named the county king.

"The Holy Majesty and King Rongjun really have a deep brotherhood. Growing up together is different. There is no more generous reward for such elder brothers as the late Emperor."

In the tea stall over there, a group of gossip gangsters clasped their tea bowls with all kinds of envy and hatred, while the fourth master in the wonton shop here ate wontons and sneered silently in his heart, Youhou?This is where it is, if it is not for the concern that there will be no place to grant favor in the future, I am afraid that the new emperor here has not yet ascended the throne, and there will already be an extra iron-capped Prince Rong over there.

"Although the emperor is young, his conduct is decent. From the waterlogging at the beginning of the year to the trouble caused by a few yellow belts in the past few days, everything has been handled beautifully."

It's not that I'm used to pretending.

"A true Dragon Emperor, he is naturally loved by the heavens, and his intelligence is unmatched by mortals."

Wisdom?There will be more to see in the future.

"This is, this is. I still took a look at the roadside during that sacrifice to heaven. Among other things, just his bearing and appearance are beyond the reach of others. He is really a first-class noble person."

silent.

"If you want to say handsome, I think it must be the King of Rongjun. That's really good-looking. I don't know which Gege will be lucky enough to marry him as a Fujin."

silent.

"If you talk about Fujin, the emperor hasn't chosen a concubine yet, it's a pity that my daughter is too young."

"Hey, your daughter is only two years old, right?"

"What's wrong with being two years old? I'm not lucky enough to be a queen, and I can still run for concubine ten years later."

"Returning a concubine, I didn't say, even if your little girl is only a little bit like you standing next to the emperor, there are only two words, 'shabby', or three words, 'scare people'."

silent……

silent……

Seeing the laughing and making noise over there, he was so angry that he was about to quarrel, the fourth master pushed the empty wonton bowl expressionlessly, left the boy to pay the money and left, walked two steps and looked up involuntarily Looking at the blue sky, it seems that the sky has not changed?

Noble, handsome, good looking?

The fourth master reluctantly recalled, a dozen or so brothers lined up one word at a time, the crown prince is the first to be eye-catching, that is the dignity cultivated since childhood, no matter the eighth or ninth seems to be the same, Yinzhen seems to have the same eyebrows and eyes Outstanding, but frivolity, arrogance, and calculations are all written on his face, is it worthy of such praise?

think……

think……

Still can't figure it out.

Fourth Master stepped forward resolutely and continued to walk. Since even he couldn't figure it out, it must be an exaggeration because ordinary people have no experience.

"Master, isn't that the shop opened by Liu Quan for you? Why don't you go in and have a look?"

The boy came up to please the master, not so much to help the master with ideas, but rather because he was tired and wanted to rest. He watched the master eat wontons, and he followed the master as he walked. .

shop?

Fourth Master paused, he hadn't thought that this body was young enough to have his own shop, but thinking about the look of the woman at home and the shabbyness of his room, it's not hard to imagine the reason: " Then go and see."

The fourth master nodded slightly, turned around and walked in from Shan Ruliu's feet. As for the shop, it was Yinzhen's job, and he had never managed it by himself in his two lifetimes.

The shop is not big, a simple grocery store, it's hard to say whether it's good or not, it's so shabby that fourth master is a bit fresh, but Liu Quan's enthusiasm for asking about the health and well-being made him feel a little cuddly, and he chatted casually.After chatting for a long time, Liu Quanshen mysteriously pulled him into the inner room and took out a 100 tael bank note for him to hide in his belt, and told him to take care of his body in every possible way. The fourth master looked at his wrinkled hands Baba's banknote was a little dazed.

100 two?

It's really 100 taels...

Why give me 100 taels?

It took a while for the fourth master to recollect it. Seeing Liu Quan staring at the unhealed scar on his head, the distressed and dissatisfied expression could not help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a rare warmth in his eyes: "Don't worry, master, there is no one in this world who can Those who treat the Lord badly."

What he said had a lot of meaning, but no one understood.

Naturally, there is no one in this world who can treat Master badly.

As long as Grandpa thinks.

Reincarnation III, fourth master thinks he is not the one who treats him badly, he would not have done it before, and now he naturally has no reason to be aggrieved, if the original Shanbao might have hesitated a little, he doesn't have so many worries.

Within a few days, the fourth master just found an excuse and moved out with his younger brother to separate the family. He found a husband for He Lin, and went back to the official school to report by himself. Within two days, the article was favored by the academic officer, and he settled the envy and jealousy The sons of honorable nobles who hate him, listen to Basho quietly, read poetry and books, and live a comfortable and leisurely life.

Fame is naturally a test, but then what?

Entering the court and becoming an official is one way, and it seems good to live in leisure and practice meditation. It is rare to be born outside the Forbidden City in this life, so why bother to go to the dark place of the wealthy circle to intrigue?

It's just a lifetime.

Fourth Master thought so, and imagined the leisurely life at the foot of the South Mountain of Picking Chrysanthemums, yearning for it, and pleased with it, but for some reason, his heart felt a little empty after all.

Forget it, let it be.

If there was anything that made Fourth Master feel worthy of the first reincarnation, it was that he finally had the opportunity to meet the thirteenth brother in this life with his own eyes.

As the empress dowager in the previous life, she was restrained after all, and she knew the situation of each other, but she could only watch him secretly communicate with Yinhu and others, but she couldn't even send a letter, which is really a lifelong hatred.He didn't expect to have a chance to live again, so naturally he couldn't miss the opportunity, the first thing fourth master did after he settled his fortune was to get in touch with Yinxiang's secret line.

After going around for decades, the two of them are no longer the same as before, so why not say "fourth brother"?

"I didn't expect that both of us brothers would go out of that wall!" Thirteen was drunk lying on the wine table and smiled contentedly, "Fourth Brother, I never thought that there would be a time to drink with you..."

"There will be opportunities in the future."

"I heard that you are attached to your Gege, I'm really afraid that you won't think about it..."

In fact, it's okay, Fourth Master took a sip of wine silently: "You think I'm the one who waits for a trivial matter to seek death?" Even if he really couldn't think about it, he would still be pissed off by those bastards.

"I know you're not," Thirteen murmured in a low voice, with the feeling of alcohol gradually getting on his head, rubbing his flushed cheeks on his arm, "I just feel sorry for fourth brother, you've had a hard time reliving your life before you can relax, fourth brother you are It's too serious, I'm really happy with my younger brother..."

distressed?

Fourth master's wine glass stopped by his mouth, he looked down at Shisan who was already unconscious, his expression was still gratified.Fourth master hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand to touch his younger brother's head, retracted his hand, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to touch it again.

With different looks and a familiar handsomeness, Fourth Master didn't miss him at first sight, just like Thirteen, he recognized him at first sight.It's just that compared with the dejected, decadent, exhausted and haggard before, this Thirteen is more like the desperate Thirteen Lang back then. Even in his previous life, Fourth Master couldn't remember how many years he hadn't seen him. up.

Why am I not happy...

The fourth master sighed softly, shook his head helplessly at Thisteen, who was dead drunk, stretched out his hand and carried him to the side of the soft couch to lie down, looked left and felt sorry for Thirteen running all the way, looked right and felt sorry for Thirteen, After much deliberation, after all, I blame myself for not doing enough as my elder brother, and I should find a way to help Thirteen...

and many more.

The fourth master turned his head, only to see a small head protruding from the door and looking at him for an unknown period of time. A pair of sparkling eyes on his white and tender face blinked pitifully, and his mouth was so pouty that he could hang up. bottle.

"Helin?"

Fourth Master frowned and cried out, Xiao Zhengtai's eyes turned red immediately when she heard the words, and she threw herself into his arms like a swallow, clutching Fourth Master's clothes tightly and refusing to let go, rubbing her head against Fourth Master's arms and crying : "Why does he call you brother, it's obviously my brother!"

"..."

"elder brother……"

Xiaozheng looked up tearfully, pitifully determined to ask for an explanation.

The fourth master looked at the black footprints on Shisan's body who didn't know when he was kicked, and then looked at the little Zhengtai who was holding on to him and was about to burst into tears when he was obviously wrong. For the first time in his life, the fourth master suddenly felt that his younger brother was fighting for favor. The head is as big as a bucket.

Fourth master, do you think your brother is so easy to be?You still have to learn.

In the second year of Jinglian, the fourth master took part in the provincial examination and ranked seventeenth;

So he stood on top of the familiar golden palace again as a matter of course, and before he entered the palace gate, he was surrounded by Fu Kang'an and Fucha Mingren, who rushed back to Beijing overnight, before he got to the front of the palace and was blackmailed by the new Prince Duan His face stared for a while.When Xuan entered the palace, fourth master didn't look sideways, only heard a few familiar low laughs from the side, and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a handsome prince with peach blossom eyes smiling eeriely and sweetly at him.

——Things that don’t grow.

The fourth master disdained his little trick, raised his head, and calmly met the eyes of the young emperor sitting on the dragon chair with a half-smile.The former twelfth elder brother gradually lost his childish appearance as he grew older, and instead looked more like the long-sleeved and good at dancing Prince Lian in Fourth Master's memory who never could see his mind clearly.With a spring breeze on his face, the young emperor still smiled softly under a luxurious and dignified dragon robe.

Yinhu...

The fourth master remained calm, followed by everyone saluting and lining up and shouted long live three times.

The young emperor spoke softly and selected a few people one by one to test some political knowledge, encouraging and admiring, even those who were too nervous and inappropriate, just laughed and said nothing.After asking a few questions, he seemed to be tired. He lowered his head and began to look through the files. He paused for a while after flipping through a few movements, then raised his head and smiled at a group of trembling Gongsheng students: "Which one is Niu Colu's and Shen?"

There seems to be no second person.

The fourth master came out to salute with a knife on his shoulders, and stood calmly and expressionlessly, turning a blind eye to all kinds of envious, jealous, gloating, and murderous eyes.

"Aiqing is so talented." The young emperor weighed the essay in his hands, his eyes stopped on the fourth master, and he expressed admiration, "He has such knowledge at such an age, he really is a young man."

Should I say that I dare not take it?

The fourth master was still thinking that the courtiers next to him had already praised a few words of "good knowledge" and "good literary talent", only the Rongjun king snorted coldly and his face was full of displeasure... The fourth master quietly raised the corners of his mouth and pointed deeply at the dragon chair. After giving a salute, his tone was raised slightly and his voice trembled slightly, as if he was full of joy and anxiety that could not be concealed: "The emperor's absurd praise made the students terrified."

He should be terrified, when he said a word, not only the corners of Prince Rong's mouth twitched, but even the current Holy Majesty's smile froze, Ming Ren chuckled, and Prince Fukang Anduan shook his body and looked up at the sky.

A flash of astonishment flashed in the young emperor's eyes, and finally turned into a chuckle, he fixed his glance at him as if nothing had happened, then turned his head and asked a few other questions.

The fourth master smiled secretly in his heart, seeing this person's pretentiousness as usual, he felt very bored, all kinds of past lives flashed through his mind, and finally stopped at the moment when he heard the news of that person's death, the tip of the pen was hanging in the air, and a drop of thick ink stained the scroll , the warblers outside the window twittered, I don't know when the autumn is chilling...

The world of mortals is thousands of feet, and the ignorance of the mediocre is a prison.

The fourth master in this room is absent-minded and thinking about his own thoughts. Over there, Yubi Zhupi has already delineated the first and third places, and Niu Gulu's and Shen are ranked fourth, which happens to be the second best Chuanlu.

Four joys in life, gold list title.

This is a rare experience for the Aixinjueluo family.

Fourth Master was not surprised when he was summoned in the middle of the night, but he was a little surprised when he saw only one person in the hall sitting alone holding a scroll. haven't seen you for a long time."

Fourth Master was not surprised. If he wanted to, it would not be difficult to guess his identity after reading his article on the examination. Besides, although Shisan promised not to reveal his identity, it didn't mean that today's day would not notice the sudden northward movement of the leader of the Tiandihui.

Before he could answer, the young emperor tilted his head and chuckled softly: "Or do you want me to call you Niu Colu and Shen?"

The red candle flickered, and the hour hand could be heard in the hall.

Fourth Master's face remained motionless, under the other's menacing gaze, he straightened his robe and uniform, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The room was silent.

The young emperor sat on the dragon chair, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared at some point.He silently stared at another young man who was still in a kneeling posture, his eyes were dim, and the scroll in his hand had long been left aside and ignored, he just looked at him like this to see through his internal organs.

Enmity?

Cause and effect?

The young emperor quietly stared at the respectful and motionless worshiper in front of him, chuckled silently, a little disappointed, and a little self-deprecating, the hostility around him finally dissipated, and he didn't ask fourth master to get up, but just looked at the eagle Liang's eyes were tinged with nostalgia: "Long live... How can anyone in this world live so long, maybe only by living so long can we really look down on those grievances..."

"..."

"Do you know what I was thinking that night when I knelt down in the Taimiao?"

"..."

"You're dying from the cold, and you're dying from leg pain. I looked at those memorial tablets," Yinhu's voice paused, "I just want to see how you behave based on your arbitrary, mean and ungrateful character. Die, and what will happen to your ambitions."

Yinhu's indifferent tone seemed to still carry the bone-chilling cold of that night.

Fourth Master knelt with his head down, still feeling the other person's gaze on his back, but there was no resentment and hatred as imagined, but a bit of inexplicable sense of loss.

After a moment of silence, Yinhu sighed, her tone a little weak: "Back then, I really wished that you would die early, but looking back, if I was willing to take a few steps back, things might not have turned out like that."

It's just that no one was willing to retreat back then.

"You once forced me to swear that I would never associate with Xiaojiu and the others. At that time, I thought that I would rather die without a body than kneel down and beg for mercy. One step, will it give Xiao Jiu a glimmer of life?"

No one answered, Yinhu stared at the kneeling posture of the man on the ground like a stone sculpture, a trace of self-mockery slipped in his eyes: "Don't you know that sometimes you should tell some lies?"

After hearing the words, Xu Zhen finally raised his head and looked directly at the current day for a moment, the corner of his mouth suddenly raised a sarcastic angle, his dark eyes were like an empty well with bottomless depths: "Do you believe me?"

A gust of wind blew away the candles, and the dim yellow candles flickered violently.

Yinhu smiled, and Qingjun's brows and eyes stretched out in the chaotic shadows with a strange joy: "No matter what, you always gave me a choice, and I will give you a chance now, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Officials, You choose one."

Thirteen once said, I only wish the people in the world to be happy, Haiyan and Heqing.

In fact, they've all said it.

Take the five-day imperial examination and enter the Imperial Academy;

Another year, to Jiangsu and Zhejiang;

In another two years, he returned to Beijing for a job report and was transferred to be a doctor in the Ministry of Officials. Since then, he has been promoted many times, three promotions a year.

A few years later, because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, he was granted the title of Duke Zhongxiang, the third class.

A few years later, it was given to the king of the county.
