Drunk Qingqiu

The twelfth lunar month is very cold.

The people in the palace changed into thick woolen clothes early, and even the people below changed into thick cotton clothes.

Elder brother's place, ninth elder brother's residence.When I went to the landlord's Nuange, the kang had been turned on and the brazier had been set up in the house, so the cold outside had not penetrated into the house.A small kumquat tree on the small table is full of fruits, which looks pleasing, and fresh melons and fruits are also placed on the kang table.

Jiufu Jin Jiahui, dressed in a big red flag and a multicolored tapestry vest, was sitting on the kang, leaning on the pillow of the autumn-scented money python.Yuzhu and Yuying were waiting in the room, Yuzhu brought hot tea to Jiahui, and Yuying was grinding while staring at Yinzhen who was rectifying her handwriting.

Holding the pen in a warm and jade-like hand, the hairpin flower lowercase on the declaration is delicate and smooth.The well-regulated words, but the whole article looks very beautiful, just like his hand holding the pen.

Dong Ejiahui took a sip of tea, looking at Yinzhen from time to time.Before leaving the cabinet, Dong Ejiahui just accepted her fate for the finger marriage.Dong E's family is also a big and noble family, so they have considered their children's marriage for a long time.Although Jiahui looks good, she is not top-notch, and her grandmother has already planned to ask the queen mother to ration her to the clan.But he didn't want the emperor's grace, so he pointed at elder brother Jiu.

Both the family and the clan feel that they have great face and are very happy. Of course, most of these joys have their own purposes and thoughts.

She didn't ask her own thoughts, and no one cared.Er Niang only cared about telling herself how to please Yinzhen, and to secure the seat of Di Fujin, it would be better if there were fewer side Fujin in the mansion.Ama and his uncles cared more about whether they could speak in front of Brother Nine.

The eldest sister married a governor, and she was released from Beijing a few years ago, and followed her into office.The younger sister is the daughter of the concubine, and she has always been polite to herself.Only elder brother Minghui asked, but they are not sisters after all, so there are some things that cannot be said.

Jiahui looked at Yinzhen in a daze.

I always feel that he doesn't like me, but I can't fault him.

He felt that his appearance was not good enough, but his temperament was not satisfactory... Thinking of this, Dong Ejiahui became vigilant.

It doesn't matter if Yinzhen likes it or not, can she leave him?In the eyes of outsiders, she is still the ninth elder brother Fujin who is personally referred to by the emperor.

After thinking about her home and her situation, Jiahui suddenly remembered something.After sneaking a look, there was no joy or anger on Yinzhen's face.After sending Yuzhu and Yuying away, Yuying gave Yinzhen a reluctant look, and followed Yuzhu down helplessly.Jiahui hesitated for a while, and then said: "Master, but my uncle and my uncles have troubled you recently?"

Yinzhen put down the pen, looked at her with doubts in her eyes: "Why do you ask that?"

Jiahui bit her lip and said: "I went back to Dong E's house yesterday, and saw that Ahma was promoted to the Manchurian capital, so I wondered if the Lord was in front of Huang Ahma..."

Yinzhen didn't speak, but looked at her with thought in his eyes.

Jiahui said again: "Although it is very unfilial to say so, if you are in Dong E's house, I want you to ask for grace from Huang Ama. If you don't want to say it, don't worry about my family's affairs."

They are all guessing like this.That's right, Dong E Jiahui's father, Dong E Qishi, was originally a third-class public with a false name.Within a few days of becoming Yinzhen's father-in-law, he was promoted to Zhenghongqi Dutong.

Yinzhen originally thought that Jiahui was going to speak for Dong E's mansion, but when she saw what she said, she was taken aback.I felt much more relaxed, and then smiled, and said: "It's hard to know how to advance and retreat, don't worry about these, I have my own discretion...Ama's promotion is not my idea, I think it is Huang Ama who sees the right one. " After hesitating for a moment, Yinzhen still called Dong E Qishi Ama.

A few days ago when the imperial study room met Kangxi, among the three recommended by Yinzhen, Kangxi chose Xilinjueluo Ertai as the head of the accounting department.He was promoted to the head of the Dong E family as the head of the Manchu family. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yinzhen always felt that it was because he didn't speak well of Dong E's family that Kangxi made such an order.

Do you have to do the opposite if you want to quit Nine Dragons?No, this is not a joke, if you make a mistake, Kangxi will not care about the relationship between father and son...

In order to be on the safe side, the way out should be carefully planned.

The 36th year of Kangxi was an uneasy year.In the second half of the year, several elder brothers got married, Ge Ge was married far away, and busy looking through the etiquette department, it was really lively.In a blink of an eye, at the end of the twelfth lunar month, we will be busy with Chinese New Year.

The end of the year is the busiest time for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the receipt and disbursement of money, and the withdrawal of utensils.The harvest and income from the various villages were also delivered along with the new year's goods. After the masters in the Zhuangzi delivered the account books, they did not dare to leave the capital, waiting to check the accounts, or find a chance to say hello to the master.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the silver, leather, porcelain, satin, clothes, tea, etc. that the palaces and mansions have to receive are also reported. This is easy to say, there are always previous rules to follow.

On Zhuangzi, there are grains grown and melons and fruits harvested.When winter was approaching, Yinzhen once sent a message to plant some precious potted plants that look happy and auspicious in each village, such as golden bergamot, lucky bamboo, peacock wood, etc., and wait until the twelfth lunar month to go to the palaces of the princes. Or the powerful clan sent some over.The governments were very happy to receive this extra gift, and publicized it everywhere.Some big households in the capital or clans that didn't get it had to buy it by themselves, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs took the opportunity to make a lot of money.

For Zhuangzi near the capital, there are usually certain forces behind the masters, and it is common to benefit from the harvest.But because Yinzhen dealt with the prince's people as soon as he came up, everyone didn't dare to be greedy too much for a while, and the income this year was higher than in previous years.

As for those from other places, there is an unsightly boss who comes from Zhejiang.Relying on the in-law relationship with the housekeeper of Ba Age's house, he greedy most of them, only saying that there was a severe drought and the harvest was small.Yinzhen directly sent someone to get the rainwater records of the year from the seventh elder brother, and found that there was no drought, so he immediately hit the board and stayed at work to investigate.

After that, everyone in the audience secretly thought that Brother Jiu was young, but his temperament and skills were completely opposite to his age and appearance.Brother Ba is so close to him, but he is not as merciful as you, Ding, and no one dares to be too greedy.

Others said so, but Yinzhen knew her own suffering.That night, Yinhu tossed him a lot.However, when he was so tired that he fell asleep, Yinhu touched his thin waist, and said to his ear: "Xiaojiu, Mynah will warn his subordinates not to be embarrassed by this. Don't work too hard. If you are so thin, you won't be embarrassed." It must make me feel distressed. However, the person who punishes me next time should tell me. That slave deserves to die, and it depends on the master to beat a dog. If it is someone else, I will not obey."

What Yinzhen answered was not clear anymore, he just thought, did the prince and elder brother who were dealt with earlier offend someone?

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, most of the official affairs were handled almost, and several Yuanwailang were discussing the final details with Yinzhen.

He Yuzhu ran in from outside and knelt down on the ground, with a trace of panic in his voice: "Master, Zhang De, the chief eunuch of Yanxi Palace, came over and said there was something urgent."

Several Yuanwailang were taken aback, and all looked at Yinzhen, with anxious and worried expressions on their normally indifferent faces.Several people were secretly amazed, they were used to his calm or stern side, and when they saw Yinzhen like this, they all had a lot of thoughts.He also thought that he was a teenager after all, so he should have such an immature side.

Yinzhen waved his hand, and only talked about the rest, and several people discussed it.

Then he pulled He Yuzhu out and asked as he walked, "What's the matter with Er Niang?" Since He Yuzhu had this expression, he seemed to know something.

"Master, I'm afraid, I'm afraid Elder Brother Eleven is sick, Master Yi is too sad..."

Yinzhen frowned when he heard that, Xiaoshi Yinzhen had been ill a few months ago, and he specially searched for a lot of medicine.It was fine at the time, why did it happen again?

Seeing Yinzhen, Zhang De immediately knelt down, "Master Jiu, you should go to Yanxi Palace quickly, the master has passed out."

Yinzhen was shocked when she heard this, "Emiang fainted? Did you call the imperial physician?"

"Zhang Qian went to invite him, and also sent someone to invite Fifth Master."

Yinzhen hurried to Yanxi Palace, and a group of people kneeled inside and outside the house.Yinzhen walked directly to the inner room of Dongnuange, Xiuyun was wiping Concubine Yi's sweat, when she saw Yinzhen coming in, she hurriedly stood up to greet her.Both Wu Fujin and Dong Ejiahui stood by.

Yinzhen asked softly, "How is Er Niang?"

Xiuyun hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the master, the imperial doctor said that Master Yi is overworked, angry and angry, and mentally exhausted, he needs to rest."

Yinzhen took a look at the kang, Concubine Yi has always paid attention to her appearance, at the age of 35, she is charming and charming even a girl in her twenties can't match.Now the face under the brocade quilt was very pale, and Yinzhen felt a pain in his heart.

Turning around and going to Xinuange to see Yintu, he was surprised again.Although Yinyu was older than Yinxiang and Yinzhen, he was thinner and smaller than these two.Now the whole person fell into a drowsy sleep, and his face was green and scary.

Yinzhen sat on the edge of the kang, shook Yintu's hand, and calmly asked the imperial physician next to him: "Emperor Liu, how is my eleventh brother...?"

Imperial Physician Liu knew that some things should not be said indiscriminately, just now you just said something, and did not dare to say more, Concubine Yi was already overwhelmed with grief, and passed out directly.How should I say it now?

"I want the truth."

After deliberating a few sentences, the imperial physician said: "Elder Elder Brother's illness is recurring frequently, use some medicine to see. Elder Brother Fu Xiang, if it takes ten days, he will be fully recovered."

The imperial physician just wanted to coax her, either true or false, but when she saw that after she finished speaking, tears fell from Yinzhen's eyes without warning.The teardrops were glistening, lining his jade-like face a little eye-catching, after one glance, Imperial Physician Liu lowered his head.Regretted in my heart, I told the truth, and sighed at Brother Jiu's cleverness.

Yinzhen just felt uncomfortable, turned his head to look at the people on the kang, and said after a long while: "I ask the imperial doctor to take the trouble to prescribe the prescription, the medicine will definitely be used."

"Ninth elder brother, but please rest assured, the old minister will definitely try his best."

He Yuzhu took the imperial physician out, and Yinzhen stretched out his hand to hug Yinzhen in the brocade quilt.

Previously, he was close to Yinqi, and he was different from Yinsi, Yinju and even Yinzhen. Yinxiang and Yinzhen loved to act like a baby to him when they had nothing to do.My younger brother, who is the same father and mother, has never been with him much.

It was only this year that the two got close, and it was when Yintang greeted Concubine Yi that Yintang found an opportunity to cling to him.Such a cute boy, only 12 years old, but only ten days to live...

These ten days, Yinzhen asked for leave and did not go to the House of Internal Affairs. If there is something that cannot be decided, let her go directly to Elder Brother's office.Concubine Yi was recuperating in Dongnuange, she came here every day to wander around, and was persuaded by her two daughters-in-law to rest.

After Yinyu woke up, he saw Yintang beside him, he was very happy, he took his hand and acted like a baby: "Brother Jiu, the last time you promised to take me out of the palace to go to the temple fair, is it still counting?"

After being silent for a while, Yinzhen stretched out his hand to touch his little face, and said, "Of course what Brother Nine said counts."

"Then let's go when I'm well."

"it is good."

"I also want this scimitar for Thirteenth Brother and the others."

"Okay, brother Jiu found it and gave this one away."

……

"it is good."

Yinzhen agreed to almost everything without any hesitation.What Yinhu wanted was always delivered as soon as possible.

"Ninth Brother, you come here every day and give me a lot of things. These few days, this treats me really well. It's even better than Little Ten 34." After a pause, there was joy in his voice: "Ninth Brother, I secretly Let me tell you this, I always look forward to the day when I can become this favorite younger brother, I am so happy these few days." Yintang lay on Yintang's lap, smiling happily.

"...Little Eleven, this is my favorite younger brother. This is my brother from the same mother. No matter how close we are, who else would kiss us?"

……

Yintang's small hand held Yintang's hand, and she closed her eyes with a smile.

Yinzhen was stiff all over, looking up at a loss, Yinzhen was standing at the door looking at him.

When Yinzhen saw him, he habitually wanted to smile and say hello.

Yinzhen came over and hugged him, let Yinzhen bury his head in his arms, and said quietly: "Xiao Jiu, if you feel uncomfortable, cry if you want, don't hold back like this. Just like what I said, four In front of brother, there is no need to wear a mask, and whoever kisses us will go."
