Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

Fourth Master opened the impeachment booklet and looked at it, ignored it, and put it all aside.

"You don't need to keep this, keep it for the emperor to have a look."

Several other important ministers should hurriedly answer "yes".

As the emperor's close ministers, they naturally understood Kangxi's meaning, and they intended to train the fourth prince, of course, to choose to inherit the great line.

But they usually don't have any friendship with the fourth prince, and they don't know each other very well, so they are a little cautious when getting along. Naturally, no one wants to offend him, and no one dares to give him any ideas, for fear of being misunderstood. .

Just like this impeachment memorial, they dare not make decisions in private.

Besides, Kangxi was very interested in hearing about the impeachment of the fourth master, and asked the fourth master to read it to him, just to relieve boredom.

Fourth Master picked up a book and opened it to read:

"Chen Zou, Prince Yong, went to court and hit a passerby with a car..."

Kangxi asked after hearing him finish reading:

"I really hit someone?" He couldn't believe it. The prince was surrounded by guards and the carriage was in the middle. How could he hit someone?

"While passing by Andingfang, a person suddenly came out and rushed towards the carriage, hitting the carriage." Almost startled the horse.

Kangxi shook his head, pointed to the stack, and asked him to continue reading.

Fourth Master Mo, is he being punished by Huang Ama?When will he have to read such a high-level book?After reading it, why don't you ask the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for your throat?

Reluctantly picked up a book and read it again.

"My minister impeached Prince Yong, Jin Fujin, and seized good land in the south of the Yangtze River, leaving the local people without land to grow, and wailing everywhere..."

Kangxi's expression was serious, and he was no longer as relaxed as before:

"What is happening?"

Fourth Master said with a dark face:

"Nianshi saw that many good fields in the south of the Yangtze River had very low yields and wasted land, so he bought them all together, used good manure and seeds brought back from overseas, hired local farmers to cultivate them, and gave a certain amount of grain after each season's grain production. Whether it is natural disasters or insect plagues, they have not lost their food."

The peasants farm by themselves without cattle, fertilizers, and improved seeds, and they don’t even have complete farm tools. After a year of hard work, they may not have so much food and have to pay taxes. Now they only pay for labor and don’t need to take risks. These people are still not satisfied, so they sue.

Kangxi nodded. He knew the cost of the fertilizer. No matter how much grain was produced with that fertilizer, it would only be enough for capital at most, and it would not earn money.

Over the years, Nian Shunyao has been improving fertilizers to reduce costs, but the effect is not obvious.

There is no way, Nian Shunyao was born in Gaoliang, so he really has no idea about money.

Sighed and said:

"Sometimes it's like this. It's obviously a good thing to benefit the people, but people can't understand it. That's all. Since the people have reported it, let's return that part of the land to them after the season."

"Yes! Er Chen asked Nian Shi to send someone to deal with it when he returned home."

Kangxi nodded, waved his hands and told Fourth Master to back down, he didn't want to listen to these scriptures anymore.

He had known for a long time that someone would impeach Lao Si, no matter which one he wanted, there would be people who would oppose him, this was also a test for Lao Si, Kangxi was relieved to see that he did not avoid admonishing these people.

A king must first have a tolerant mind.

Fourth master stood still and said with concern:

"Huang Ama, Grandma Sun in the son-in-law's mansion came back from Yunnan yesterday, why don't you ask her to enter the palace tomorrow to show Huang Ama? Maybe there is a way."

Fourth master was not sure if the emperor would be willing to use the people in his mansion at this time, but as a son of man, he still had to fulfill his filial piety.

Kangxi was very satisfied with his son's genuine concern, and said kindly:

"You are interested, let her come and have a look tomorrow."

Fourth master showed a comfortable smile on his face:

"Yes!"

After leaving Qianqing Palace, Fourth Master didn't leave the palace right away, and had to go to Yonghe Palace to ask for safety before he could leave.

De Concubine was there, and Fourteenth Elder Brother was also there. He stayed in Xiaoling for a year. After returning, he was much calmer and knew how to restrain his edge, but he was still so childish when facing other people.

"Yo, the invisible prince has come to greet Er Niang!"

Fourth Master didn't even look at him:

"Mother!"

Concubine De forced out a smile:

"Are you tired, do you want some snack pads to pad your stomach?"

The blunt and embarrassing concern has only appeared in this month for so many years.

"Thank you for your concern, my son, my son is not hungry!"

Fourth master was not touched much.

I can't say that there is nothing at all, I can only say that I am a little disappointed.

He has become an invisible prince, and it is normal for others to change their attitude towards him, but De Fei's own mother has also changed accordingly, which makes him a little more difficult to accept.

There was another burst of embarrassment between mother and child.

Brother Fourteen let out a chuckle to break the embarrassment.

"Emiang, my son has something else to do, so let's leave first!"

"Okay, find a safe nunnery for your cousin and that child, and there will be enough people to take care of you. Don't leave them alone!"

"understood!"

Fourteenth elder brother responded perfunctorily, and the man left.

When Fourth Master was about to leave, Concubine De said:

"You don't have many servants in your house. There are a few outstanding ones around me. You can pick a few and take them home. Don't say that I only love Shishi and not you."

Fourth Master got up:

"Thank you, Er Niang, for your love. It's just that my son has been busy with official duties recently and has no interest in his children's sex, so I won't delay these outstanding girls. My son has something else to do, so I will resign."

Concubine De looked unhappy, but she didn't say anything else.

Looking at the back of fourth master leaving, I have mixed emotions.

I didn't expect the emperor to take a fancy to the fourth child. That's right. After all, the fourth child has different meanings to him, but she can't accept this result. If there is hope, she would naturally prefer her fourteenth to be the successor in the future.

Fourth Master was thinking about Fourteenth Elder Brother while leaving the palace.

It is not so easy to get rid of the ambition.

The old fourteen didn't want to be appointed, and the people under him wouldn't just admit defeat like this, it's just that the light has turned dark now.

Don't look at the old fourteen who is not stingy in front of him, he still has a lot of rules in front of his subordinates. It can be seen from the fact that he has dug out a group of people from the old eight to follow him in just one year. As reckless as he appeared, fourth master was not deceived by his protective look, and was wary of him in his heart.

The same is true for Concubine De who has no mother-child relationship, not to mention the woman she gave, even the things in her palace are rarely touched by him, and Hongzhi is told to eat there as little as possible.

Concubine De didn't like Hongzhi much these years, so she wouldn't recruit him often.

In fact, Jinyao had already received news about the matter in Jiangnan.

Her father is still serving as the governor of Jiangnan at a young age, so it is easier to get news about Jiangnan's affairs. The letter from her mother explained that all this was actually done by a newly emerging sect called "Return to One" in recent years. of.

She sent people to deal with several batches of these evil and religious missionaries. Most of them persuaded people to become monks. Many of those who lived in hardship and helplessness were moved, and those who abandoned their wives and children followed, regardless of how their families and wives lived. , what kind of crossing is this?

Now there is something even more excessive, even instigating farmers to make trouble. Jinyao rented farmland and gave them money, and hired them to farm for fear that they would have no food to eat. Every season, the food will be paid for wages, and the amount is definitely more than their own. You can get a lot, and it doesn't matter what year it is, regardless of whether it is a disaster year or not.

Unexpectedly, some people were not greedy enough. Seeing that Jinyao's crops were planted in the field, the harvest was so good, and the grain output was so high, they were greedy. Coupled with the fans of the gangsters, they all wanted to go back and take the fields back for their own planting.

Jinyao is not a person who is short of food. Originally, she didn't make any money renting their fields. She just wanted to produce more food and store it there just in case. She also wanted to help the poor farmers who couldn't even eat enough. up.

I don’t want them to be ungrateful. In this case, after this season’s harvest, those who want to take back the farmland will bring money to redeem it, and she will not say much. The contract she signed is one rent for ten years, and one mu of land for ten taels. After the number of years has passed, you can redeem as much money as you have left.

As for those who make trouble, the government is there, who would dare, destroying farmland is a capital offense, and no one would dare to take their lives.

It's easy for her to solve it here, but the farmer's nest is blown up.

After all, there are a small number of people who want to take back the farmland. Most people, especially the elderly, are very satisfied with the current life. Once the farmland is redeemed, not to mention a lot of money, they have to be responsible for their own profits and losses. In the past, when they planted by themselves, they were hungry and full. Meal days are forgotten so quickly?

However, it is useless to say anything, the owner must return the field, and can only find a way to live by himself.

Naturally, the angry people did not let go of the Guiyi Sect who fanned the wind and set fire to it, and burned the Taoist temple where they settled down, and took the people to the government, not afraid of offending the gods and Buddhas.

The third elder brother who planned all this behind the scenes turned dark, and also lost his good face towards "Huan'er":

"Look at what idea you came up with? Not only didn't it cause trouble for the fourth child, but it caused a lot of manpower on my side. Now everyone is locked up in the prison. Do you think the master can save it? How to save it? ?”

"Huan'er" had a charming face, and didn't take the third elder brother's anger seriously. With a few soft words, the gentleness dispelled the anger, and once again trusted her to sum up, what should the next step be? Do.

Jin Yao was sitting in an inconspicuous carriage, waiting at the pier.

Today is the day when the second brother's family returns to Beijing. They turned to the waterway halfway and will stop at Ping'an Wharf today.

"Master, I saw a boat coming, so I'll wait here and ask if it's the second master's boat!" Feiling ran over in a hurry.

After a while, he ran back again:

"Master, that's right! It's the second master..."

Before she finished speaking, Jinyao had already helped the servant girl out of the car and walked quickly to the boat that had just parked.

If she hadn't paid attention to her image outside, she would have already run over.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law!"

The people inside obviously couldn't wait any longer, they stood on the deck and disembarked as soon as they stopped. When the siblings met, Jinyao was so excited that she burst into tears.

Nian Gengyao was both funny and heartbroken, so he took the handkerchief from Nian Ersao and wiped it for her:

"You are such an old man, why are you still the same as when you were a child?"

The first reaction to seeing my sister was to hug her up, that's how I played when I was young.It was only when I saw the younger sister in front of me that I remembered that my younger sister's daughter was married, she was no longer a little girl, how could she be hugged casually, I couldn't help being funny and sad, I only sighed that time is merciless.

He nodded to the third younger brother who followed behind and still didn't like to talk.

Apparently Jin Yao also thought about her childhood, and joked: "What's the same? When I ran over when I was a child, you could hug me, but now you're old, and you can't hug me anymore!"

"Puchi!" The old servants who served beside him couldn't help laughing.

Nian Gengyao also couldn't laugh or cry:

"You're not ashamed, and you don't think about how tall and heavy you were when you were young, and how tall and heavy you are now!" After looking up and down, it was indeed a little fleshier than the last time I saw it, not a thin piece of paper, and I was satisfied nod.

Nian Ersao interrupted the joke of the two siblings and opened her arms:

"Come on, the second sister-in-law holds you in the same way, I haven't seen you in these years, I can't imagine it!"

"Pfft!" Jin Yao smiled and hugged her:

"How could it have been so many years, did your journey go smoothly? Brother Xu, bring me to see!"

"Hurry up and give it to his aunt!" Nian Ersao turned her head and said to the nanny behind her, while answering Jinyao:

"It's all good!"

When Jinyao saw Brother Xu who was only two years old, she liked to kiss her:

"It's so cute! It's the same as Brother Xi when he was a child! By the way, Brother Xi and Hong Zhi are in the palace and will come back in the afternoon, so I couldn't come to pick you up."

"I'll see it sooner or later, don't worry." Nian Gengyao was quite optimistic.

"Okay, don't talk here, it's cold, get in the car and go home, you have time to say as many things as you want."

When Jinyao saw his mustache, her hands itch, and when she thought it was outside, she suppressed it.

At this time, two women came out from behind Nian's second sister-in-law, each with a girl, to greet her.

"Meet my aunt!"

"I met my aunt, my aunt is good!"

"Aunt Zhao and Aunt Liu, please! These two are the second and third girls of our family?" This ranking is the ranking of brothers Nian Gengyao and Nian Shunyao, not Nian Xiyao who is a branch of the clan.

"That's right, it's the first time you've seen them, and you'll see them more often in the future." Second Sister-in-law Nian said.

"Okay, let's play with your cousin in the mansion from now on!"

Jinyao treats these two nieces as mediocre, people, there is always a close relative, she and the second sister-in-law have a good relationship, and the child born to the second sister-in-law is naturally the favorite, aunts, it's just a matter of being rude, anyway, it's the second brother's daughter , different from others.

Nian Gengyao was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so he pushed her by the shoulder and urged her to get into the car.

Back to Nianfu, it was naturally lively again.
