Liquidation

The person Feng Jing was looking for came back to report after dinner. Nian Xiyao has been very busy these few days. He took Nian Gengyao to visit the mansions of the ministers and princes in the court. Frequently, the Nian family brothers are not in their early years. After all, Yinhu is just one of the princes who are visiting by the Nian family.

But the master of Sibeile Mansion was not there, so they also sent a New Year's gift, Yinhu deliberately asked Feng Jing to ask, and learned that the gift was similar to the one given to him.It seems to be a unified system, not a single special one.

After that, there was another heavy snowfall the next day, and Yinhu invited Nian Gengyao to Baylor Mansion to have a talk on the grounds of watching the snow and admiring the plum blossoms.How could he not know that the Nian family had a good plan?I want to get the benefits but don't want to really pay, and I don't want to please so many people!The Nian family didn't want to provoke them, so he forced everyone to think that the Nian family had joined his boat in the morning and had joined him!

For this situation, Nian Gengyao must be reluctant. Since Nian Xiyao took him around to visit, there must be first: take him out to see people; second: let him see the current situation... so two Interestingly, from this point, it can be seen that the Nian family...or Nian Yaling himself has great expectations for this second son.He certainly didn't want him to identify someone so early, or to vote under someone's door.

There are too few real pure ministers, so in the 60 years of Kangxi, there was only one Zhang Tingyu.More, like Suo'etu and Mingzhu, they are delusional about taking advantage of the dragon's achievements, or joining a good master's family, so as to prosper a certain welfare for the family.Yinhu dragged Nian Gengyao onto the boat like this, and it was almost a surefire "Eight Lord Party"—unless the Nian family had established Yinhu as an enemy so early and would never have any contact with him.

But at the end of the day, although the Nian family is a family of officials and eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, the great-grandfather of Nian Xialing served as the commander of Jinzhou in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. After that, his grandfather Nian You was promoted and his father Nian Zhonglong. Captured, the whole family was collected under the leadership of Bao Yizuo of the Han army and became Manchu slaves.Now only Nian Yaling is quite attractive and has become the governor of Huguang.Not to mention Yinzhen, who must support him behind Yinhu, and the behemoth prince who is still vaguely connected to one body.

So when Yinhu's invitation came, Nian Gengyao had no choice but to come.Not only do you have to come, but you have to come happily, otherwise it will be a big hat: Yinhu invited not your father's age, but you, Xie Yuan, who was born in the Han army flag, how dare you refuse to associate with your master?He doesn't have that much patience.

Nian Gengyao not only came, but also brought gifts.In the afternoon of this day, Yinhu sat with him in the study, and Nian Gengyao made tea himself, and served Yinhu a respect.

Yinhu took the teacup, and saw that the tea buds and leaves in the cup were tender and even, shaped like pine needles; the tea soup was clear and bright, with a fresh aroma; the bottom of the leaves was as green as jade.Can't help but sigh: "good tea!"

Nian Gengyao was very impressed, and introduced: "This is the famous tea in Hubei, Enshi Yulu [①], which only weighs a few catties a year. Apart from paying tribute, only slaves managed to get some of it this year. Thinking about today's Come to enjoy the scenery, how can you not be accompanied by good tea? Therefore, I offer it to Ba Ye to taste."

Yinhu took a sip, the taste was mellow and lingering in the aftertaste, and he also felt that Nian Gengyao's move was very pleasing, and said with a smile: "You really have a heart."

He couldn't help but take another sip, then put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Liang Gong, let's go, let's go out and have a look at the snow scene."

Nian Gengyao's eyelids twitched, seeing Yinhu smiling very kindly.I heard that the garden in Babeile's mansion is very exquisite, but I don't know why I want to go out instead of enjoying the snow at the mansion?And Yinhu seems to be... saying that she won't be sick for a long time, right?

He had a bad premonition, and followed Yinhu out the door, and got into the carriage, with the clatter of horseshoes, Yinhu and him had a good talk in detail in the carriage, neither Nian Gengyao nor Yinhu was someone who would make the atmosphere embarrassing, Talking about political and state affairs that do not involve sensitive areas, Nian Gengyao has been by Nian Yaling's side for many years, and has been influenced by his ears and eyes, so he can talk freely and has his own opinions.Yinhu chatted with him all the way, and only felt that this person was really talented, no matter what, he must be pulled over to help Yinzhen.

In this way, the atmosphere is harmonious.The destination of the carriage was not far away. After walking two streets, it stopped in front of a mansion.Nian Gengyao stepped out of the carriage first, staring at the three big characters on the plaque and was startled.

Beizi Mansion.

Nian Gengyao turned his thoughts quickly, recalling what Nian Xiyao explained to him about the situation in Beijing and China within a few days.The Beizi who can get close to the eighth elder brother is probably the ninth and tenth elder brothers who left the palace to build a mansion after their wedding this year.I heard that the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother have been together since childhood because they are similar in age.And the eighth elder brother is exquisite in all aspects, so naturally he has a good relationship with him.

Yinhu took Nian Gengyao straight in, and the servants at the door followed them in and passed on the news. When they entered the main courtyard, the little eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "Babeile arrived— —”

Immediately, Yinzhen and Yinrong stood up from their seats and greeted me happily: "Brother! Why are you here?"

Yinhu hadn't had a good meeting with them for several years, and in a blink of an eye the two brats got married.He always thought that he was older psychologically, and when he got along, he treated himself as an older brother and doted on them. Now that the children have grown up so much, he is also happy for them.

He sat on the upper seat with the two bastards, looked at it with a smile, and blamed in his mouth: "Elderly Chinese New Year, why don't you come to me to post a post when you have a banquet?"

Yinzhen giggled, and I scratched my forehead, and said with a smile: "Brother, Lao Jiu and I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I heard that none of you have been seen... We also want you to recuperate well no?"

Yinhu glanced at the seat below, and saw that there were quite a few people in the court, but they were all small officials with humble words and no great use.A stage was set up on the opposite side, on which "Yiyi Yaya" sang a tune, and there were a few pretty maids standing beside Lao Jiu, all of whom looked pretty good.

He came here for a different purpose, and after hearing Lao Ten's excuse, he also smiled and said: "I am indeed recuperating from my illness."

The old nine and the ten looked at each other with "what do I say?" Yinhu deliberately pointed at Nian Gengyao who was still standing beside him, and said loudly: "But, if Lianggong comes to see me, my illness will soon disappear." Almost as good as it gets!"

There was an uproar, and countless eyes all focused on Nian Gengyao in an instant, turning him into a public figure abruptly.

At this time, Nian Gengyao was just a young man in his 20s with no practical experience. In short, his aura had not yet been cultivated, so many eyes looked at him at the same time. I can't take it anymore.Gritting her teeth secretly, she didn't know how to slander Yinhu: This eighth elder brother is so broken!Don't bring such a win-win!

Yinhu's smile was very amiable, and he pulled Nian Gengyao to the front: "You don't know each other yet, do you? This is the second young master, Nian Gengyao. He is coming to the capital to prepare for the exam and is going to participate in next year's competition."

Old Nine and Old Ten stared wide-eyed at Nian Gengyao from top to bottom, Nian Gengyao could hold his breath, and saluted him neither humble nor overbearing: "Slave Nian Gengyao, I have seen Master Nine and Master Ten. "

There is nothing wrong with this name, I am just a Beizi, but I am a little bit wronged by the name Beizi.Looking at Nian Gengyao's attitude, Yinhu felt a higher level of appreciation in his heart.Yinzhen Yinxuan After I finished sizing up Nian Gengyao, Yinzhen felt aggrieved and said, "Brother, that's...that's him? You've been recuperating for a few days, and you haven't seen anyone. As soon as he came...he went out?"

This is what Yinhu wanted, and he nodded with a smile: "Lianggong is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, you all need to get closer to him. In the future, you can do business for Huang Ama, and you can help each other a little bit."

Yinrong, I was very unconvinced: "Just him? Why can't I see what's wrong with him?"

The officials below are also discussing a lot. Judging from the consistent performance of the eighth elder brother Yinhu and his reputation in the court, he is good at dancing with long sleeves, has a wide range of friends, and is always gentle, gentle and peaceful. He is the best one among the princes to get along with , no matter which camp, they all praised this prince who didn't show any ambition.

And it was this Babeile who, when the prince and elder brother, Suo'etu and Mingzhu were having a quarrel in the court recently, said that he would not be sick as if he had news in advance, and hid in the mansion to avoid this dispute .But now he reappeared in front of everyone for the second son of the Nian family with an unknown future?

If it is to win over the Nian family, the Nian family's age is indeed worth wooing, but his pure minister mask is so tight that it is impossible to clearly identify which camp he will vote for.So what is this Nian Gengyao capable of?This second son of the Nian family...what kind of virtue and ability does he have?

What they could think of, Nian Gengyao naturally thought of too.Although Junxiu's face was still courteous, the corners of his lips were already twitching.Yinhu glimpsed it from the corner of her eye, and she smiled even more heartily.

Nian Gengyao, Nian Gengyao, just obediently work for your master... Be a cow and a horse!

Yinhu praised Nian Gengyao a lot in front of Yinyu Yinyu and me again, and he said that there is nothing in the sky and nothing in the earth. Does the conceited and proud Nian Gengyao think that person is really him?Could it be possessed by some god?Although I don't believe Yinzhen Yinxuan, but I have always believed in myna's vision, so I didn't make any trouble.

There were more Yinhu and Nian Gengyao in the banquet, but the atmosphere became more lively.Many low-level officials who wanted to get acquainted with Yinhu but had nowhere to get in took advantage of this opportunity to come up to toast and greet.After a few drinks, Yinhu introduced Nian Gengyao to them, and even asked Nian Gengyao to help them drink.There are all high-ranking officials here, the first-ranked officials crushed people to death, Nian Gengyao was still white, and immediately blushed and thickened his neck after drinking.

Even those who wanted to know Nian Yaling and hoped to get acquainted with him also got him drunk.Later, Yinhu sat on the seat, just smiled and watched Nian Gengyao become more and more proficient in shuttling through the crowd, coping with it freely.

Some people, as long as they are given a chance to display their talents, they will rise to the sky and become a dragon above the nine heavens.

And what Yinhu has to do is to turn this dragon into a kite—after today, Nian Gengyao will become the climate in the future, and when he wants to stand again, he must consider Yinhu.

The guests and the host enjoyed themselves, Yinhu and Nian Gengyao still went back in the carriage, both of them were a little drunk, and there was a slight smell of alcohol in the carriage.

Nian Gengyao leaned on the carriage, his eyes lost their composure and clarity, and were faintly shining with brilliance.Yinhu seemed to be engrossed in watching him, staring straight at him without moving, and then laughed softly for a long time.

Nian Gengyao vaguely heard it, and opened his eyes wide: "...Baye?"

Yinhu reached out and patted his shoulder, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Lianggong, you are a capable person."

"Your future achievements will not be inferior to your father's."

Nian Gengyao seemed to hear clearly, but he didn't.His head tilted slightly to the side, his breathing became long, and he fell asleep just like that.

The carriage stopped slowly, and Yinhu came out of the carriage, took two breaths of fresh air, and whispered to Feng Jing: "Go and report a letter to Mr. Nian's house, saying that I left his brother behind, and I will go back tomorrow." .”

Looking back, Nian Gengyao was still leaning in the carriage, unconscious.Yinhu touched his nose and decided to help Nian Gengyao down by himself.Just as he was about to make a move, a maid trotted out of the yard, her face couldn't hide her joy.

Yinhu looked at it and wondered, "What's the matter?"

The servant girl looked familiar, and when she saw Yinhu, she saluted with blessings: "Master, it's a great event, Fujin is happy!"
