Drunk Qingqiu

After leaving Xuanhua Mansion in Zhangjiakou, it is the Mongolian grassland.

Under the blue sky, there is a boundless and vast land, and the grasslands in early spring are still covered with patches of white snow.Only in the place where the ice and snow melt, there are grasses standing up tenaciously, and the vitality under the severe cold is even more lovely.

Unlike in the mouth, Yinzhen's speed has completely slowed down, because he wants to convey Kangxi's will to the Mongolian prince or tribal leader, and patrol to appease the Mongolian tribes.Due to his status, he received a rather grand reception along the way.

Since Huang Taiji, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty have attached great importance to forming alliances with various Mongolian tribes who are good at riding and shooting.The title of the Mongolian aristocratic leader is Taiji. In order to control Mongolia, most of the royal princess Gege married to the grasslands. Over the years, most of these princes Taiji Beizi and others are descendants of Aixinjueluo.

For the envoy of the heavenly family this time, it turned out to be the respected Nine Brothers. Apart from being surprised, everyone was naturally more attentive.The imperial guard who came over secretly joked that this business trip was worthwhile, and the last time I came here with Yuanwailang from the Ministry of War, I just bowed to others and looked at people's faces.

Some people enjoy the hospitality, while others can't stand it.

Horqin Right Wing Middle Banner, Tushiyetu Palace.

Fragrant milk tea, amber spirits in a huge golden cup, and the famous hand-steaked meat and roasted whole lamb on the grassland.

Amidst the low and melodious tune of the matouqin, a girl in a Mongolian skirt with colorful laces and long boots dances to a cheerful rhythm.Different from the feminine beauty of Jiangnan women, the slender girl in the grassland has a unique heroic posture on the grassland. She raises her hands and raises her eyebrows, and her flexible waist rotates, which is equally stunning to the audience.

Although the palace is built in the Han style of the mainland, the ground is like a tent, covered with thick felt blankets.Yinzhen sat upright behind the table, looking at the dancing female slaves with a slight smile on his face.Prince Shajin of Tushiyetu, who was accompanying him, looked secretly proud, young man, who doesn't like women.

In fact, the reason why Yinzhen raised her head was because she didn't want to take a second look at the food on the table. Dairy products, mutton, and handbags, even if they were delicious, they couldn't eat them all at once.However, when he saw those graceful girls dancing, his heart moved a little.I can't help but think that if he is more relaxed and has three wives and four concubines...

There was a gorgeous taste in the smile, and it was Yinhu's face that flashed in his mind.He froze involuntarily, and subconsciously thought of Jiahui, but thought of Yinzhen, the cold-faced elder brother said: Xiao Jiu, we are sober this time.

Yinzhen felt awkward in every possible way, put out all his thoughts, and took a sip from the wine glass as if to cover up.

Yinzhen restrained his thoughts, after all, the two women in his backyard had already given him a headache.He accidentally caught a glimpse of the imperial guards following him, his eyes were shining brightly, wishing he could stick to the female slave in the middle of the big tent, he was speechless for a moment.

I haven't seen a woman for nearly a month, and I can understand the behavior of these people.Next to him, Prince Shajin of Tushiyetu accompanied Yinzhen while talking, while observing secretly, and was going to send someone to serve tonight when Yinzhen liked it.These people are all well-groomed young girls carefully selected from the palace, and they are not afraid of this young elder brother's criticism.

To his disappointment, except for the blushing once in the middle of the journey, Yinzhen's demeanor was calm again, and he didn't show anything from the beginning to the end. The guards below were very face-saving.

After Sha Lu smiled and asked Yinzhen to go to rest, he turned around and entered the small hall next to him, and asked, "Su Fan, I see you, how does this Ninth Brother compare to your impression?"

There was a person sitting in the small hall, about 30 years old, with bright eyes and a stone-blue outer garment.With simple clothes and casual posture, at first glance he seems to be just an ordinary scribe.However, when he raised his eyes, there was an unconcealable vigor in his gentle eyes, even compared with the prince Shalu, his aura was not inferior.

Seeing Sha Lu enter the room, Su Fan got up to salute, and said with a smile: "I really never thought that it was just a little elder brother who made such a big commotion."

"Well, small is small, but it is a master who does not eat oil and salt. I am afraid that you will have a headache in the future." Shalu said.

Su Fan just smiled and said nothing, as if he had a plan in mind.

After the salad was seated, two maids brought hot tea again.Holding his nose and taking a few breaths, Shalu said, "Good tea! Thanks to you thinking about it, it's running out. I'm used to drinking it, and I really can't leave it. I have to drink a pot every day."

Su Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you like it, I will send someone to send it from time to time."

Shalu laughed loudly, "Alright, now that you're here, go see your sister before you leave. She has been talking to me about you a lot these past two days. If you don't allow you to visit her when you come, you'll have trouble with me again." gone."

"Ah."

The new concubine that Sha Lu married was Su Fan's younger sister, and she was doting on her tightly.

It was night, and Yinzhen tossed and turned, suffering from insomnia.

He thought of Concubine Yi, Yinhu, Yinzhen, and fifth brother, tenth, thirteenth, fourteenth, etc.; he also thought of Jiahui and the child in her womb, wondering if she could go back before giving birth.

The capital, the place that Yinzhen wanted to stay away from all his heart, also had his only attachment in this world.

On the second day, Yinzhen set off again, went forward to the left, and entered Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner.In a few days it will be the Kulun Conference, and all the ministries will send people there. Yinzhen plans to meet with them at that time, and the rest of the ministries will not go one by one.

Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner was deliberately detoured by Yinzhen, Yinzhen glanced at the three carriages accompanying him, one was his own carriage, and the other two carriages were for Jiayu.Guo Luoluo Jiayu, Yinzhen's cousin, was allegedly given to Battelle, the second son of Daibu, king of Duoluo County, Horqin Left Rear Banner.

For this distant cousin, Yinzhen is very close because she grew up together.When Jiayu left Beijing, Yinzhen didn't say anything, but felt very reluctant.I happened to be passing by this time, so why not take a look.

Before leaving, Jiahui and Chuyun discussed and prepared a gift, and within a few days, Concubine Yi and the Duke's Mansion also sent important gifts, please Yinzhen to bring them over.

Yinzhen touched the red ground embroidered gourd pouch hanging on his waist, which was embroidered by Jiayu herself.At that time, it was originally a pair, and the other one was taken by the eighth elder brother Yinhu a long time ago.When Yinhu grows up and realizes that something is wrong, he has already been eaten by Yinhu, so it is superfluous to worry about these things.

Yinzhen was looking forward to seeing Jiayu sooner, but he hadn't seen him for more than a year. How is this easy-going and gentle, but very assertive cousin?

With complicated thoughts, Yinzhen was welcomed into Duoluo County Prince's Mansion.Daibu, the king of Duoluo County, came to greet him in person. Yinzhen greeted him politely, and then read out the imperial edict first.Then the guests and hosts were seated.

Daibu's eldest son Alabutan stood behind his father, and Yinzhen couldn't help taking a few glances. He was in his 30s, with a beard, and was mighty. He didn't seem to be the same as the wolf-like boy in his impression.

"Brother Jiu came from a long way, it's been hard work, why don't you stay at the mansion for a few days. Let me do my best as a landlord." Dai Bu looked at Yinzhen with a smile and said.

Yinzhen chatted with her for a few words, only saying that she might not stay for too long, and then asked: "I don't know if Er Beizi and Beizi Fujin are in the house?"

When Dai Bu heard the words, he realized that Yinzhen was looking for his second son and daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly said, "Because this king has something to do with Alabutan, Battelle took Jiayu to Kulun to attend the Kulun Conference instead of me."

Yinzhen's eyes darkened, she was so excited that she couldn't see her cousin today.But anyway, I have to go to Cullen, and I will see you sooner or later.

Yinzhen then sent the gift list over, a copy for Duoluo County Prince's Mansion, and a separate gift list for Jiayu.

Dai Bu looked at the gift list and was secretly surprised that the second son's wife Fujin was not Princess Gege, and the relatives were a little dissatisfied.A daughter of a third-class uncle, even if she is from a wealthy family, is a little bit hard to appease.

Some people in the family looked down on this Fujin, but Jiayu's dowry was completely in accordance with Princess Gege's distribution, only a little more, so no one dared to be too presumptuous.Although Daibu didn't treat his second daughter-in-law very well, he definitely didn't feel sorry for her.

Looking at the thick gift list in his hand, Dai Bu thanked him with a smile.

Doro County Prince's Mansion, East Courtyard.

Yinzhen and the accompanying guards were placed in the east courtyard, and they set off for Kulun tomorrow.

Thinking about the itinerary, Yinzhen discussed the route with Shibao, the first-class imperial guard.At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and a girl in a red robe ran in.Peacock hair was tied on her head, countless thin braids hung down, her face was exquisite, Yinzhen felt a little familiar, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The guards at the door stopped him at that time, and one of them had already drawn his waist knife.

Yinzhen raised his hand to let the guards back down, and looked at the woman frowning.

The red-robed girl had an angry look on her face, and she stretched out her hand to withdraw another person from outside the courtyard. She was dressed in a white robe, and her appearance was also beautiful and cute, with shyness in her eyes.The girl in red pointed at Yinzhen with one finger, and asked loudly, "Are you the younger brother of the woman that the second elder brother married?"

Yinzhen's face darkened, is this Abate's sister?What is this called?

"Presumptuous!" Two shouts came from Shibao and He Yuzhu.

The woman in white tugged at her sleeves and whispered, "Yina..."

"Hmph, let me tell you, I won't recognize your sister as my second sister-in-law. You people from the Central Plains are too ignorant of etiquette. My second brother obviously has a fiancee. Why do you insist on pointing him to Fujin?" Yi Na ignored The woman in white behind pulled and yelled bitterly.After finishing speaking, he pulled the woman behind him and said, "My sister Yun is the second brother's favorite person. She is much more beautiful than your sister!"

Yinzhen stared coldly at the obviously spoiled Mongolian Gege, then turned his head to look at the woman in white, and asked coldly, "Is this your idea or your second brother's idea?"

"Mine! But the second brother must think so too." Yi Na finally lowered her voice when she looked at the sullen Yinzhen.

"This is really new. We thought your second brother was not good enough for Jiayu, but she didn't say anything more because she wanted to. Besides, your second brother personally asked Huang Ama to point out the marriage. Speaking of which, If there is really a fiancée, Battelle is guilty of deceiving the emperor." Yinzhen said lightly, already thinking about how to make them separate and bring Jiayu back to the capital if this is the case.

"Yina, shut up!" At the gate of the courtyard, Alabutan, the eldest son of Daibu, shouted sharply.
