Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty
Chapter 102
Tian Mi thinks these children are too evil, although they really want to see the little angels with bare bottoms.That's just a moment and a moment, and now the thoughts are not as strong as before, and you have seen children with bare buttocks, but the ones you see are not as fat as in the paintings.
Tian Mi didn't know about this, when she saw Yang Dan running over, she couldn't help but slapped his hand off Hong Hui's foot.
"Why are you pinching your nephew's feet? He's still an uncle, not at all stable."
"My son is obviously playing with him." After finishing speaking, he pinched the inside of the soft-soled shoe, and sure enough, Honghui quickly retracted his foot, and then gently stretched out his foot to shake his little foot Ah, when Yang Dan wanted to pinch, he quickly retracted it, then let it out quietly and shook his little feet again.
All right, these two played beautifully.
After talking here for a while, Si Fujin took the child to the princess's place to have a banquet. After the end, the couple came out of the palace with other brothers and got into the carriage when it was getting dark.
Si Fujin had something on his mind, and as soon as he got on the carriage, he quickly handed over his son to the wet nurse who followed him.
"I heard good news from Erniang in the palace today. Erniang said that Jiugege might stay in the capital."
The fourth elder brother had a headache from drinking for a while, when he heard the news when he was dizzy, he immediately sat up straight.
"Is this news reliable?"
"How can what Er Niang said be unreliable?"
"Did Erniang say which family she betrothed her younger sister to?"
"I didn't say that, but Er Niang only said that Huang Ama couldn't make up her mind now."
The fourth elder brother thought to himself, even if he couldn't make up his mind, he couldn't escape from a certain range.
But this is indeed good news, he sat back again and leaned against the sideboard of the carriage, "This matter must be carefully considered by the Lord."
The palace was full of joy because of the fact that the princess was pregnant. I don't know if it was a filter. Kangxi felt that after the good news, these sons didn't look like black-eyed chickens anymore.
So at night, I went to sit with the Queen Mother for a while, and then returned to Chengqian Palace, and saw cats and dogs fighting in the yard.
The reason is that Yang Dan wants to raise a dog. He loves both dogs and cats, but the cat belongs to my mother. After he moves out, he wants to raise a dog.
So today, the cat and dog room sent a little milk dog over. The old cat Hongyun still has the demeanor of an elder, and he didn't pay much attention to the little milk dog.But the mandarin duck-eyed lion cat that was sent later had a big opinion on this little milk dog.After staring at her for a while, he went up to tease and unilaterally beat her.
Even a small milk dog is a bit bigger than a mandarin duck-eyed lion cat. After being beaten for a while, the two can't distinguish between you and me.
Although the cat and the dog fought fiercely, the cat's throat made a purring sound, and the nails inside the pads were exposed, but humans felt that the two of them were playing around, and they were still clapping. Applause.
After Kangxi came in, he saw this cat and dog, you gave me a paw, and I gave you a paw back, so he felt bored and went into the house.
When he sat down, he asked, "Are those two males? If there are too many cats, they will fight, and if there are too many dogs, they will fight. If there are too many cats and dogs, they will fight. Just like this man, there are all kinds of people. Fight wherever you go."
Tian Mi heard his tone a little uncomfortable, "Why are you feeling so emotional today?"
"Mingzhu...it's time to retire."
This means that Zhu will also be turned into a blank board and go back to eat himself.
"Now I finally understand that children are good children, and if there are no unscrupulous people around to encourage them, our children will be the best children."
Tian Mi thought about it for a while, but she didn't think it through thoroughly.Kangxi didn't give her time to figure it out, and asked someone to prepare the meal.
At this moment, Yang Dan came in dejectedly, "Er Niang, our cat doesn't like my dog."
"You can see it!"
"Yeah," he looked very sad, but no matter whether the child is happy or unhappy, his emotions come and go quickly. After the food is served on the table, he picks up his chopsticks and stares at the meat on the plate. Fang Guang almost picked it up and stuffed it in his mouth.
All the parents saw his greedy look and wanted to tease him.Kangxi lifted up the chopsticks, and slowly added a piece of food with the chopsticks, and Tian Mi also stretched out the chopsticks very slowly to pick up a piece of lotus root.When they both ate, Yang Dan immediately picked up a piece of meat he was looking forward to and stuffed it into his mouth as fast as lightning.
The piece of meat was cut a bit big, and his cheeks swelled up after stuffing it in his mouth. After Kangxi saw it, he couldn't help asking Tian Mi, "Is he usually hungry? Why is he so aggressive when eating?"
"The child is very hungry, probably because he ran around outside just now, and now his chest is sticking to his back. Eat slowly, no one will grab you, eat slowly."
At this moment, someone from outside invited Kangxi to return to Qianqing Palace: "Your Majesty, the letter from Brother Seven has arrived."
Kangxi attached great importance to this matter, and immediately put down his chopsticks, "Mother and son, eat, I will go to the front, and there is no need to keep the door open at night, and I won't come back."
Tian Mi had no choice but to take Yang Dan to send him out, and she didn't know what Seventh Brother said in the letter. Tian Mi only knew that Kangxi called all his sons to the palace that night, and the father and son talked for half the night. Then let them go.
The prince was close, so he raised his foot and went back. The others either rode horses or took cars.You can lie down in the car for a while in a car, but it's uncomfortable for a horse rider.Sleepy and tired, and bumping on the horse.
For example, the third, fourth, fifth, and third were called over to discuss matters for half the night. When they went out, they yawned and didn't have anything on their minds, so they fell asleep quickly.
The boss tossed and turned at home, unable to fall asleep.On such a big occasion today to discuss such an important matter, Huang Ama didn't call Mingzhu over.
Even if the servants outside can't intervene in this matter, Lao Qi now has Huang Ama's favor.Some time ago, because he was young and fledgling, he could be suppressed to the Taipu Temple, and his power could not reach the Ministry of War, but he could not be suppressed after he came back.
He wanted to discuss this matter with Mingzhu, so he got up immediately after dawn to find Mingzhu.
But he forgot that he could go back to sleep because he was busy for half the night yesterday, but Mingzhu was going to court.So I ran to Mingzhu's house to save money.At this moment in the court, someone impeached Mingzhu. Normally, these are trivial matters. Today, Long Live Lord wants to investigate deeply, and Mingzhu already feels that it is not good to be in the limelight.
He rushed home in a hurry, saw Da Chitose sitting in the living room of his house, and quickly wiped the sweat off his brow with his sleeve.
"My lord, this slave feels something is wrong."
The two of them lay down on the table and analyzed it. What Mingzhu meant was that at this time, the torrent retreated bravely. In order to save the face of the monarch and his ministers, she asked herself to be sick and beg for rest.
The boss is not willing, the boss still wants Mingzhu to stay in the court for a few years, and without Mingzhu waving the flag and shouting, the group of people under him will lose their brains.
But Mingzhu knew in her heart that the reason why Long Live God disliked her old rival, Suo'etu, was because this person did not understand the situation, and when it was time for you to retreat, you must retreat, but he refused to retreat.I can't learn from this guy to do something careless.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to care about Elder Brother anymore, "My lord, it's not that the slave is unwilling, but the situation is compelling. You have also seen that now that old man Suo'etu is living in seclusion, and the slave is still jumping around in the hall. Your Majesty doesn't like slaves, and at this moment, there is a step down which is already due to the love between the emperor and his ministers, if that time comes...the Lord Long Live will be ruthless."
Big Brother frowned, who knows what he was thinking, Mingzhu quickly gave him an idea at this time, "Although the slave is no longer working in the court, the slave's heart is still in the court Well. As long as the slave is still free, there will still be time to give you advice and charge in the future."
Eldest Brother heard that this is indeed the truth, instead of Huang Ama getting angry and exiling people or going to prison, it is better to take a step back at this time to save his life and become a rich man, and he can stand outside and watch the people inside the court The situation is changing.
Having said that, he felt a bit moved in his heart, so he nodded his head with difficulty, "That's the only way to go."
Eldest brother always feels that it is too bad luck. I have been sincerely burning incense and worshiping Buddha for a while, how did it become like this? Fujin gave birth to a daughter again, and his confidant and capable minister was also driven home. The prince is about to have My son-in-law, why is everything going wrong with me.
So he couldn't help but find his good classmate Lao San to complain, but Lao San is no longer interested in praying to gods and Buddhas at the moment, and wants to quit this study group, and doesn't want to communicate with the boss anymore.
So for the eldest brother, the words go in the left ear and out the right ear, which is a bit perfunctory, even showing his attitude, the boss is very unhappy.
"Brother is talking to you, why do you have such an attitude?"
"Brother, let's put these things aside in advance. My younger brother recently found that the fourth child is a bit abnormal."
"Why is it abnormal?"
"I saw him looking at the guards in the imperial study room from head to toe and back from foot to foot these past few days. His eyes were fierce. My brother was thinking, how did they provoke the fourth son?" gone?"
"It's nothing, how can those slaves have the guts to dare to provoke the fourth child?" After the boss finished speaking, he suddenly thought that there is a situation where it is possible, that is, someone is behind the back, and the status is higher than the fourth child these days. There are only a few people in the four accounts.
"The prince has attacked the fourth child? I didn't expect that." The elder brother rested his chin with his hand, "The fourth brother always likes to do business, did the prince do something excessive to make the fourth child angry?"
Thinking of this, he immediately acted, as long as he can make the prince unhappy, he can be happy.
So he stopped sitting with the third child, and hurried out to let others inquire about this matter.
For a while, the fourth elder brother thought that since he was looking for a son-in-law in the capital, he would most likely be selected from these wealthy families.These rich and powerful families usually put their children and grandchildren into the team of imperial guards for gold plating. Of course, those who can enter this team are all important children of the family.Throw the unimportant ones to the sixth department, start from the low-level officials, and slowly climb up.The last one is that in the past few years, some Manchu families have sent their children to study, and have made a way through the imperial examination.
Regardless of the latter two, the two younger brothers will not be able to marry the princess, and they are usually born in the family or those who will be trained in the future will be stuffed into the guard team. Those who can be stuffed are undoubtedly those with good looks and physique. The etiquette of conversation is also good.The emperor likes educated guards, who can also write a few poems.
The possibility of choosing a son-in-law from here is relatively high, so he focused on these people.
You don’t know if you don’t see it, you don’t say you are shocked when you see it, there are people who are stunned.
The guards are divided into those who are on temporary duty and those who are actually on duty. Those who are temporarily on duty are usually first-class guards. These people also have errands in other yamen. They are generally older and have already married and established businesses.For example, Kua Dai, although he is in the south of the Yangtze River, his quota of guards is still there.There are very few first-class guards who actually come to the post, and there are also young ones, such as the children of Tong's family, the eldest son of Erlundai actually came to the post.This is theoretically possible, but if you add more weight to their family, the Tong family will be even more powerful.
Then look inside the second class and the third class, and those who have families should be removed, those who are not of the right age will run away, and those who are not of the right seniority will go away... After this addition and subtraction, there are only a few people left.
Anyway, he is not satisfied with these people.What made him even more dumbfounded was that the children of Jiangnan Sanzhi had already gone to Beijing to serve as errands, and the children of these three families were all in the third-class guards.
According to the observation of the fourth elder brother during this period, he found that the children of the Li family are very good at pleasing Huang Ama... Because there is a history of marrying a wrapped girl to King Ping, he is afraid that Huang Ama will be arbitrary and marry his sister to Bao clothes people.
And there is another thing that has to be said, the imperial physician has repeatedly emphasized that Princess is not in good health and does not recommend giving birth.Since the two families got married, this matter must be known to others. Some powerful families value the children of the main house very much, and they may be a little unhappy in their hearts, but these coated servants are the emperor's servants. Marry a princess, maybe people will wake up laughing from their dreams.
He was worried that his younger sister would marry into these families, especially the Li family. Li Xu had sons and nephews, and they were all young men of the right age, and they were absolutely positive about such things.
He panicked, and at the same time he was trying to figure out who's young man could be his brother-in-law in the capital.Since Huang Ama couldn't make up his mind, he found a suitable one for Huang Ama.
At this time, he received another errand from Er Niang. Er Niang said that his younger brothers were going to move out. As an elder brother, he had experience of living away from Er Niang, so he wanted to decorate the yard for his younger brother and tell them about living alone. What should I know and learn when I go out to live?
So when he was not busy, he picked up Yang Dan's pile of things in the garden. Yang Dan came, followed by a bunch of radish heads.The fifth elder brother took over the eleventh matter, and the eighth elder brother took over the fourteenth twelve.
Thirteen is relying on the fourth elder brother. In fact, Thirteen and Fourteen are still young, and these two people are not in a hurry to study, but these two boys have more dangerous ideas than his brothers, and they are daring. The power is particularly strong.Don't look at her young age of 14, now she coaxes his concubine into a daze.
Concubine Liang also felt that her little thing was a very innocent little guy outside.But in fact, this guy is the same as Lao Ba, and he can toss in the same line.
After Tian Mi came over with him and Shisi for a long time, she promised them to go out to study together.I made an agreement with them for three chapters, and after talking about the rules for a long time, both of them readily agreed.Tian Mi thought in her heart that it is better to be alone than to be troubled by others, and to throw these burdens out to the masters, so that the masters can have a headache.
So I threw away these burdens thoroughly, and even threw the decoration of their house to these princes.
Thirteen is a well-behaved little guy. Yang Dan is also an obedient child. It may also be because the fourth elder brother has a straight face and doesn't usually play around with them, so that they feel that the fourth elder brother is more dignified.So things on the fourth elder brother's side were done very quickly, but the fourteenth elder brother's yard next door was full of chaos.
Twelve is a well-behaved child, and he was fined a few days ago for spreading gossip.These two days, I have been obedient, but watching the starling and the fourteenth elder brother sing a play and tear down the stage, I enjoy watching it, crying is more interesting than the big drama of the Shengping Department. Carried away.
So the little guys are almost settled, and only the fourteenth brother's yard is not done.Brother Eight could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
The ninth elder brother struggled for a while and went in to help. The fifth elder brother was told many times in private by Yifei, and Yifei's original words were "Then you can do whatever you want, you brothers have grown up , what he wants to do, you persuade him once is affection, and if you persuade him too much, even this affection will be gone.”
Therefore, the fifth elder brother greeted the fourth elder brother who was standing aside, and the two went out to go home together.
After tossing around in the garden for a long time, it was already dark when he went out. The fifth child looked at the night and invited the fourth elder brother to stay in his garden for one night.
"Don't ride your horse back and forth at night. It's too dark to see clearly. I have a guest room there. My fourth brother will stay for one night and go back tomorrow."
"My Zhuangzi is not far from here. It takes half an hour to ride a horse, so I won't bother you."
After all, the fifth son's garden is a bit small, and there is no spare yard after the family members are resettled, so it is not appropriate for the fourth elder brother to disturb him as an elder brother.
When the two were parting, the fifth elder brother suddenly stopped the fourth elder brother, "Fourth elder brother, the empress dowager said that she would go to Hongluo Temple to offer incense in two days, and she brought Jiumei with her, and named me to guard the side , my brother thought, otherwise we will go together at that time, I wonder if you will be free in two days?"
"Incense?" It's no wonder that the fourth elder brother asked. The queen mother still can't speak Chinese. Although she believes in Buddhism, she is obviously more interested in the Lamaism on the grassland.
"That's right, take Jiumei with you. Maybe you will stay there for a few days. The queen mother wants me to push back the future. I think if you have free time, why don't you ride a horse together?" Send them there, and then you can do your work, they will live there, anyway, it won’t take too long to ride back and forth.”
"Okay, my brother has agreed to this matter, and you will send someone to tell me in advance when the time comes."
The two of them bid farewell on the side of the road. The fourth elder brother didn't know what the queen mother meant by this move, or what the emperor Ama had ordered. The next day before dawn, he entered the garden. When he got off his horse in front of a door, he saw Shisan alone squatting under a tree.
The fourth elder brother went over and asked, "Why are you staying here?"
"The older brothers have all gone to study. The concubine Liang is sick and the fourteenth younger brother went to accompany her, leaving the younger brother alone with nothing to do."
The fourth elder brother looked around and found that although he brought a group of servants, she was the only one squatting under the tree to play, stretched out his fingers a few times, "Let's go, follow brother, brother will take you to greet the queen mother. "
Thirteen happily reached out and grabbed the fourth elder brother's finger, and the two of them held hands to find the empress dowager.
Along the way, Brother Thirteen chirped and asked questions.The fourth elder brother is very patient at this time, and he answers whatever people ask. The two brothers seem to be amiable.
The Queen Mother's place is still as happy as ever, the fourth elder brother invited An to sit down, and couldn't help asking when drinking milk tea with a silver bowl.
"I heard from Lao Wu that you are going to Hongluo Temple in a few days. I don't know which Bodhisattva you want to worship?"
"I don't know how many Bodhisattvas there are, just go to the door and worship. It was your emperor Ama who said that the scenery over there is good, so let me go around."
The fourth elder brother thought that it was so, the queen mother was too lazy to move, how could it take a day and a half to go there to burn incense sticks and stay for another two days.
"How did you hear that Jiumei was also brought there?"
After asking the queen mother like this, she looked around like a thief, and whispered to the fourth elder brother's ear, "I told you, you are not allowed to tell others that your Huang Ama asked your sister to accompany me , I will live in the capital from now on.”
After finishing speaking, the queen mother was very happy. She raised these children, the boys all moved out, and the oldest girl was Jiugege.She really wanted to leave a child to live in the capital, so that she could call someone over to talk to her at any time when she was old.
Kangxi offered to keep Jiu Gege in the capital, and the queen mother was happier than anyone else. Considering that the fourth elder brother is Jiu Gege's elder brother, it is inevitable to ask at this time: "I will tell you this matter quietly. Going out every day to keep an eye on Haoerlang from each family to see which one is worthy of our Gege."
The fourth elder brother agreed, thinking in his heart that it seemed that Huang Ama hadn't made up his mind on who to marry his sister to.
When the day came to send the Queen Mother to Hongluo Temple to offer incense, the fourth elder brother noticed that the guards here were second-class and third-class guards in front of the imperial court.They are all handsome young men of Yishui, and they seem to be in good spirits.
Although there are several ministers in charge of the guards in the palace, the one who is currently arranging these guards is a Duke of the No. [-] Fen Township.According to seniority, these princes should be called uncles.This Duke of Zhen is a standard general, tall and strong.
He was staring at the guards, and the fourth elder brother went over in person.Although the seniority is relatively high, the fourth elder brother belongs to the high rank.
The fourth elder brother said politely: "I didn't expect you to be on duty here today."
"According to the imperial decree of the emperor, the slaves are here to watch in person today. The empress dowager doesn't go out often. This time, there are not only our guards, but also Luan Yiwei. You have to take a look in person to be at ease. The fourth master is going too? "
"It's okay for the past two days. Let's go with Lao Wu. These guards are all drawn out? They look very mighty."
"They're all from our own family. There's no need for slaves to coax you with those beautiful words. They're all ostentatious. Those who are serious and capable are still by the emperor's side and don't dare to transfer them. Thinking that Hongluo Temple is not far away from us." Far away, there are no rioters at the feet of the emperor, so I sent this group of people to fill the scene."
Of course the fourth elder brother knew that many of the imperial guards were sent in by noble families to be plated with gold. Standing on the side of the road and taking a look, there were indeed many children of noble families, and he already understood in his heart.
It seems that Huang Ama doesn't want to find a future power minister for Jiumei, just be honest and obedient.
After a while, the empress dowager's sedan chair was carried out, and the procession started slowly. The fourth elder brother cupped his hands and bid farewell to the governor, mounted his horse and followed the procession.
The large group of people walked on the road, and the road was a dirt road. There was no way to sprinkle some water and ash on the road in advance like the emperor went out.In addition, the sun gets bigger and bigger as time goes by. Although there are a few shade trees on the road, they can't provide shade for the whole team.After walking out of a certain range, the team lost the energy it had just now, procrastinating and dejected.
The Empress Dowager and Jiu Gege still had an ice basin inside the sedan chair, they just felt a bit stuffy and not very hot.The fourth child and the fifth child were exposed to the sun, covered their whole bodies tightly, and felt profusely sweating.
A servant had already offered the water bottle to the fourth elder brother, "Master, take a sip."
The fourth elder brother turned his head to look at the fifth child, and saw that the sweat on his face washed away the dust on his face one by one.I couldn't help but wiped my face with my hand and asked Su Peisheng who was beside me: "Is there any dust on my face?"
"There are both, and Fifth Master also has them on his face."
You dog slave, it was because I saw the fifth face, that I asked your grandfather if there was any.Needless to say, Grandpa also has it on his face.
The team lingered until noon, dejectedly, and finally reached a shaded place, blown by the wind, it was extremely cool.At this time, the team was procrastinating and didn't want to get out of the shade.
The fourth elder brother looked down on this group of people very much, and they were all delaying things here, so he couldn't help calling the person who led the team over to ask.
"Why are you walking so slowly at the moment, go there earlier and rest earlier, the longer you spend on the road, the longer you will be exposed to the sun."
The person who came was Mingzhu's grandson, this team was full of young masters, he couldn't command this group of people, because there was also a grandson who asked for his forehead.They also sincerely encouraged a group of people to be unwilling to move in order to hold him back.Since this group of people can't get away, let's just rest for a while.
"Fourth master, everyone's water supplies are not enough. We've all drank it up now. It's cooler here. After walking all morning, I'm very tired. This servant also wants to ask fourth master and fifth master to allow him to rest here for a while."
After his words came out, the guards who could hear around him ouched a few times.It looked like he was going to die here almost immediately and never get up again.
The fourth elder brother was angry: people like this, what can we expect them to do in the future? !
Veins popped out on his forehead, and he was about to speak while riding on the horse, but he was grabbed by the fifth elder brother, "Forget it, fourth brother, let them rest here for a while."
There were voices of thanks all around, the fifth brother said so, and the fourth elder brother didn't pursue it, he rode to the side of the sedan chair, "Queen Mother, let's rest here for a while."
"Well, rest."
Jiu Gege hurriedly asked: "Do you want to drink water, fourth brother and fifth brother? There is iced herbal tea in the sedan chair."
The fifth child hurried to the window, "Jiumei, brother, please pour a glass for brother first."
Then the curtain of the window was lifted, and a few white and tender fingers handed out a cup. The fifth elder brother took it and breathed a sigh of relief, "Great! Fourth brother, do you want to drink?"
The fourth elder brother turned his head and walked away, "I won't drink."
"Fourth Brother's stink has happened again. He doesn't like these guards and thinks they are too stretched. If you want to make Fourth Brother happy at this moment, these guards must immediately go on the road in a daze."
After finishing speaking, he passed the cup in, "Good girl, if the fourth brother doesn't drink, the fifth brother will drink, so I'll have another glass for my brother."
Jiu Gege inside was worried, "You guys are riding on horseback in such a hot day, I'm afraid that the fourth brother will not be able to bear it, otherwise this pot will be given to you, and the fifth brother will also persuade the fourth brother to drink something."
A teapot was handed out from inside the sedan chair, and the eunuch who followed the sedan chair held it to the fifth elder brother. The fifth elder brother held the teapot in one hand and the horse rein in the other to find the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother was talking to someone at this time. In front of him was a descendant of the Tong family, Tong Guowei's eldest grandson, Qi Busong, who came to see the fourth elder brother with a water bag.
Qi Busong's father is Ye Keshu, and in terms of family status, he is not as good as Yue Xing'a.And Yue Xing'a is the future Patriarch who the current family is doing their best to cultivate.
"Si Ye, there were so many people just now, the slave didn't come to greet you, I didn't expect to meet Si Ye here today, the slave has water here, it's clean..."
"You can drink, I brought some. There are a few people here that I don't know, which family's young master can you point them out to? Why are they so lazy and disobeying orders one by one."
When the fifth elder brother came over, it was Qi Busong who quietly introduced to the fourth elder brother who came out of which family.The fifth elder brother didn't say a word, he stuffed the water bottle in his arms to the fourth elder brother, and listened with gusto.
It so happened that at this time someone was driving a bullock cart passing by. There were an old man and a young man sitting in the bullock cart, and the people who drove the cart happened to be three generations old, middle-aged and young.
These young masters were sitting and resting by the side of the road. The drivers were a little hesitant. It was too late to hide. A group of people sat on the road.
Thinking of the cattle station here for a while, I still walked forward.This group of young masters didn't want to let go at all, but the team leader asked them to move.It was just a broken ox cart, and the person who drove the ox cart was also a commoner around. He dragged two people into the city for the purpose of earning a hard-earned money.
Everyone was sitting and watching this bullock cart coming from the road and passing through most of the team. There were people sitting in the cart, one old and one young, all wearing bamboo hats. The bamboo hats were pressed down very low. The old and the young are dark and thin, and they don't look like rich people.
The middle-aged man driving the carriage apologized to everyone as he walked, and when he was about to reach the Empress Dowager's sedan chair, an eunuch beside the sedan chair yelled, "Hurry up, don't bump into the nobleman."
The man who drove the car nodded and bowed, pulled the bull nose ring and walked forward. It seemed that he also wanted to leave here quickly.
The group of young masters sitting on the ground didn't think too much, the fourth elder brother stood up quickly, the people on the bullock cart had already grabbed two long objects, and the fourth elder brother threw the teapot in his arms at the two of them.
The teapot flew over, and the two of them just hid for a while. The teapot flew over, and the two drew their swords and shouted: "Fight the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, restore our rivers and mountains!"
Now the lying guards got up and swarmed up, there were too many people, the guards, eunuchs and assassins were all crowded together, the fifth elder brother picked up a big flag, took off the flagpole, and rushed into the sedan chair to wrap the queen mother and Jiu Gege , "Come out, the sedan chair is not safe anymore."
The sedan chair was crowded and swayed, their grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other in fright, and after listening to Fifth Prince's words, they followed out without saying a word, and the maids and eunuchs quickly hid around them.
The sedan chair collapsed, and a group of people were still punching and kicking together, screaming and insulting loudly.
Jiugege also heard the fourth brother shout: "Tie them up, don't let them bite their tongues and kill themselves."
After a moment of confusion, the three of them were tied up, their bags were searched, and all the contents were spread out in front of the fourth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother asked someone to clean up the sedan chair, but the sedan chair was already worn out and could no longer hold people.He looked at the three people who were still on the ground, then at the fourth brother who was reading a letter, and went over to discuss, "Let someone report to the garden, we can't go to Hongluo Temple today. Hurry up." Send the wives away."
"Well, I have to tell Huang Ama about this matter as soon as possible. These two people need to be sent to Huang Ama."
He found a sharp-tongued guard and asked him to report the news as fast as possible on horseback.
This time, no matter how hot the weather is, everyone is excited, this is a meritorious service, and the emperor will reward everyone after returning.
Stimulated by this incident, when I went back, I was extremely fast and full of energy and fighting spirit.Catching two assassins was like winning a big battle, and they all returned to the garden with their chests and bellies held out like little roosters.
The Empress Dowager and Jiugege were welcomed by all the concubines to the Empress Dowager's palace. The first thing the old lady said since the accident was, "I will never go out again."
The crowd gathered around to persuade them again, probably meaning to bring more people with them when going out in the future, so that things like this will not happen every time.
After being frightened, both the Queen Mother and Jiu Gege immediately became depressed, and they wanted to be quiet when they returned to a safe place.Tian Mi recruited the imperial physician and the concubines to wait for their diagnosis and treatment results, and only dispersed when they heard that they were asleep.
And Qingxi Bookstore was still busy with this matter until night, although many people saw the assassin, but not many people participated in the decision-making of Qingxi Bookstore.
The fifth and sixth brothers waited outside the study for a long time but they were not greeted.It wasn't until dark that the two brothers waited after eating, but after everything was arranged, the two of them were called into the study.
"It's not bad today. The queen mother and your sister came back safely, and captured two more assassins. These are all thanks to you. I will give you a few days off later and take a good rest." After Kangxi finished speaking, he waved his hand wearily. , Let the two of them retreat together.
Fifth elder brother couldn't help asking: "Huang Ama, what's the origin of these two assassins?"
"What is the origin? The origin of anti-Qing and Fuming. That's enough, you two don't ask about this matter, kneel down."
The fourth elder brother has experienced it before. He went on a business trip with Yabu, and this experience will never be forgotten in his life. Seeing that the fifth brother still asked, he asked the fifth brother to come out together.
"We know what we should know, we don't need to know what we shouldn't know, go back and rest early." After finishing speaking, the fourth elder brother yawned, "You go back to the garden, I will go to the brothers' yard for a squeeze .”
"Squeeze who and where?"
"Whether it's Yangdan or Shisan's yard, it can be crowded anywhere."
The fifth elder brother thought it was true, so the two said goodbye outside the study. After watching the fifth elder brother leave, the fourth elder brother quickly ordered: "Su Peisheng, go and ask if it is Jane who was discussing with the emperor in the study just now." Prince?"
Just as Su Peisheng was about to leave, the fourth elder brother called him quickly, "No need, come back."
Prince Jane must have intervened in such a big matter, so I better not inquire about it, after all, Huang Ama has a lot of people in the dark.
Because Yang Dan has to get up early to study tomorrow morning, in order to influence him, the fourth elder brother ran to Shisan's yard to deal with him all night.
Shisan still has the right to sleep late at this moment. Although he lives alone, he doesn't need to study, so he is very free.In the morning, after the little bird flew to the window and called a few times, the brothers woke up leisurely.
There will be a holiday in the next few days, and the fourth brother thinks in his heart that it is better to bring Shisan to his home and let him play with Honghui for a few days
Tian Mi didn't know about this, when she saw Yang Dan running over, she couldn't help but slapped his hand off Hong Hui's foot.
"Why are you pinching your nephew's feet? He's still an uncle, not at all stable."
"My son is obviously playing with him." After finishing speaking, he pinched the inside of the soft-soled shoe, and sure enough, Honghui quickly retracted his foot, and then gently stretched out his foot to shake his little foot Ah, when Yang Dan wanted to pinch, he quickly retracted it, then let it out quietly and shook his little feet again.
All right, these two played beautifully.
After talking here for a while, Si Fujin took the child to the princess's place to have a banquet. After the end, the couple came out of the palace with other brothers and got into the carriage when it was getting dark.
Si Fujin had something on his mind, and as soon as he got on the carriage, he quickly handed over his son to the wet nurse who followed him.
"I heard good news from Erniang in the palace today. Erniang said that Jiugege might stay in the capital."
The fourth elder brother had a headache from drinking for a while, when he heard the news when he was dizzy, he immediately sat up straight.
"Is this news reliable?"
"How can what Er Niang said be unreliable?"
"Did Erniang say which family she betrothed her younger sister to?"
"I didn't say that, but Er Niang only said that Huang Ama couldn't make up her mind now."
The fourth elder brother thought to himself, even if he couldn't make up his mind, he couldn't escape from a certain range.
But this is indeed good news, he sat back again and leaned against the sideboard of the carriage, "This matter must be carefully considered by the Lord."
The palace was full of joy because of the fact that the princess was pregnant. I don't know if it was a filter. Kangxi felt that after the good news, these sons didn't look like black-eyed chickens anymore.
So at night, I went to sit with the Queen Mother for a while, and then returned to Chengqian Palace, and saw cats and dogs fighting in the yard.
The reason is that Yang Dan wants to raise a dog. He loves both dogs and cats, but the cat belongs to my mother. After he moves out, he wants to raise a dog.
So today, the cat and dog room sent a little milk dog over. The old cat Hongyun still has the demeanor of an elder, and he didn't pay much attention to the little milk dog.But the mandarin duck-eyed lion cat that was sent later had a big opinion on this little milk dog.After staring at her for a while, he went up to tease and unilaterally beat her.
Even a small milk dog is a bit bigger than a mandarin duck-eyed lion cat. After being beaten for a while, the two can't distinguish between you and me.
Although the cat and the dog fought fiercely, the cat's throat made a purring sound, and the nails inside the pads were exposed, but humans felt that the two of them were playing around, and they were still clapping. Applause.
After Kangxi came in, he saw this cat and dog, you gave me a paw, and I gave you a paw back, so he felt bored and went into the house.
When he sat down, he asked, "Are those two males? If there are too many cats, they will fight, and if there are too many dogs, they will fight. If there are too many cats and dogs, they will fight. Just like this man, there are all kinds of people. Fight wherever you go."
Tian Mi heard his tone a little uncomfortable, "Why are you feeling so emotional today?"
"Mingzhu...it's time to retire."
This means that Zhu will also be turned into a blank board and go back to eat himself.
"Now I finally understand that children are good children, and if there are no unscrupulous people around to encourage them, our children will be the best children."
Tian Mi thought about it for a while, but she didn't think it through thoroughly.Kangxi didn't give her time to figure it out, and asked someone to prepare the meal.
At this moment, Yang Dan came in dejectedly, "Er Niang, our cat doesn't like my dog."
"You can see it!"
"Yeah," he looked very sad, but no matter whether the child is happy or unhappy, his emotions come and go quickly. After the food is served on the table, he picks up his chopsticks and stares at the meat on the plate. Fang Guang almost picked it up and stuffed it in his mouth.
All the parents saw his greedy look and wanted to tease him.Kangxi lifted up the chopsticks, and slowly added a piece of food with the chopsticks, and Tian Mi also stretched out the chopsticks very slowly to pick up a piece of lotus root.When they both ate, Yang Dan immediately picked up a piece of meat he was looking forward to and stuffed it into his mouth as fast as lightning.
The piece of meat was cut a bit big, and his cheeks swelled up after stuffing it in his mouth. After Kangxi saw it, he couldn't help asking Tian Mi, "Is he usually hungry? Why is he so aggressive when eating?"
"The child is very hungry, probably because he ran around outside just now, and now his chest is sticking to his back. Eat slowly, no one will grab you, eat slowly."
At this moment, someone from outside invited Kangxi to return to Qianqing Palace: "Your Majesty, the letter from Brother Seven has arrived."
Kangxi attached great importance to this matter, and immediately put down his chopsticks, "Mother and son, eat, I will go to the front, and there is no need to keep the door open at night, and I won't come back."
Tian Mi had no choice but to take Yang Dan to send him out, and she didn't know what Seventh Brother said in the letter. Tian Mi only knew that Kangxi called all his sons to the palace that night, and the father and son talked for half the night. Then let them go.
The prince was close, so he raised his foot and went back. The others either rode horses or took cars.You can lie down in the car for a while in a car, but it's uncomfortable for a horse rider.Sleepy and tired, and bumping on the horse.
For example, the third, fourth, fifth, and third were called over to discuss matters for half the night. When they went out, they yawned and didn't have anything on their minds, so they fell asleep quickly.
The boss tossed and turned at home, unable to fall asleep.On such a big occasion today to discuss such an important matter, Huang Ama didn't call Mingzhu over.
Even if the servants outside can't intervene in this matter, Lao Qi now has Huang Ama's favor.Some time ago, because he was young and fledgling, he could be suppressed to the Taipu Temple, and his power could not reach the Ministry of War, but he could not be suppressed after he came back.
He wanted to discuss this matter with Mingzhu, so he got up immediately after dawn to find Mingzhu.
But he forgot that he could go back to sleep because he was busy for half the night yesterday, but Mingzhu was going to court.So I ran to Mingzhu's house to save money.At this moment in the court, someone impeached Mingzhu. Normally, these are trivial matters. Today, Long Live Lord wants to investigate deeply, and Mingzhu already feels that it is not good to be in the limelight.
He rushed home in a hurry, saw Da Chitose sitting in the living room of his house, and quickly wiped the sweat off his brow with his sleeve.
"My lord, this slave feels something is wrong."
The two of them lay down on the table and analyzed it. What Mingzhu meant was that at this time, the torrent retreated bravely. In order to save the face of the monarch and his ministers, she asked herself to be sick and beg for rest.
The boss is not willing, the boss still wants Mingzhu to stay in the court for a few years, and without Mingzhu waving the flag and shouting, the group of people under him will lose their brains.
But Mingzhu knew in her heart that the reason why Long Live God disliked her old rival, Suo'etu, was because this person did not understand the situation, and when it was time for you to retreat, you must retreat, but he refused to retreat.I can't learn from this guy to do something careless.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to care about Elder Brother anymore, "My lord, it's not that the slave is unwilling, but the situation is compelling. You have also seen that now that old man Suo'etu is living in seclusion, and the slave is still jumping around in the hall. Your Majesty doesn't like slaves, and at this moment, there is a step down which is already due to the love between the emperor and his ministers, if that time comes...the Lord Long Live will be ruthless."
Big Brother frowned, who knows what he was thinking, Mingzhu quickly gave him an idea at this time, "Although the slave is no longer working in the court, the slave's heart is still in the court Well. As long as the slave is still free, there will still be time to give you advice and charge in the future."
Eldest Brother heard that this is indeed the truth, instead of Huang Ama getting angry and exiling people or going to prison, it is better to take a step back at this time to save his life and become a rich man, and he can stand outside and watch the people inside the court The situation is changing.
Having said that, he felt a bit moved in his heart, so he nodded his head with difficulty, "That's the only way to go."
Eldest brother always feels that it is too bad luck. I have been sincerely burning incense and worshiping Buddha for a while, how did it become like this? Fujin gave birth to a daughter again, and his confidant and capable minister was also driven home. The prince is about to have My son-in-law, why is everything going wrong with me.
So he couldn't help but find his good classmate Lao San to complain, but Lao San is no longer interested in praying to gods and Buddhas at the moment, and wants to quit this study group, and doesn't want to communicate with the boss anymore.
So for the eldest brother, the words go in the left ear and out the right ear, which is a bit perfunctory, even showing his attitude, the boss is very unhappy.
"Brother is talking to you, why do you have such an attitude?"
"Brother, let's put these things aside in advance. My younger brother recently found that the fourth child is a bit abnormal."
"Why is it abnormal?"
"I saw him looking at the guards in the imperial study room from head to toe and back from foot to foot these past few days. His eyes were fierce. My brother was thinking, how did they provoke the fourth son?" gone?"
"It's nothing, how can those slaves have the guts to dare to provoke the fourth child?" After the boss finished speaking, he suddenly thought that there is a situation where it is possible, that is, someone is behind the back, and the status is higher than the fourth child these days. There are only a few people in the four accounts.
"The prince has attacked the fourth child? I didn't expect that." The elder brother rested his chin with his hand, "The fourth brother always likes to do business, did the prince do something excessive to make the fourth child angry?"
Thinking of this, he immediately acted, as long as he can make the prince unhappy, he can be happy.
So he stopped sitting with the third child, and hurried out to let others inquire about this matter.
For a while, the fourth elder brother thought that since he was looking for a son-in-law in the capital, he would most likely be selected from these wealthy families.These rich and powerful families usually put their children and grandchildren into the team of imperial guards for gold plating. Of course, those who can enter this team are all important children of the family.Throw the unimportant ones to the sixth department, start from the low-level officials, and slowly climb up.The last one is that in the past few years, some Manchu families have sent their children to study, and have made a way through the imperial examination.
Regardless of the latter two, the two younger brothers will not be able to marry the princess, and they are usually born in the family or those who will be trained in the future will be stuffed into the guard team. Those who can be stuffed are undoubtedly those with good looks and physique. The etiquette of conversation is also good.The emperor likes educated guards, who can also write a few poems.
The possibility of choosing a son-in-law from here is relatively high, so he focused on these people.
You don’t know if you don’t see it, you don’t say you are shocked when you see it, there are people who are stunned.
The guards are divided into those who are on temporary duty and those who are actually on duty. Those who are temporarily on duty are usually first-class guards. These people also have errands in other yamen. They are generally older and have already married and established businesses.For example, Kua Dai, although he is in the south of the Yangtze River, his quota of guards is still there.There are very few first-class guards who actually come to the post, and there are also young ones, such as the children of Tong's family, the eldest son of Erlundai actually came to the post.This is theoretically possible, but if you add more weight to their family, the Tong family will be even more powerful.
Then look inside the second class and the third class, and those who have families should be removed, those who are not of the right age will run away, and those who are not of the right seniority will go away... After this addition and subtraction, there are only a few people left.
Anyway, he is not satisfied with these people.What made him even more dumbfounded was that the children of Jiangnan Sanzhi had already gone to Beijing to serve as errands, and the children of these three families were all in the third-class guards.
According to the observation of the fourth elder brother during this period, he found that the children of the Li family are very good at pleasing Huang Ama... Because there is a history of marrying a wrapped girl to King Ping, he is afraid that Huang Ama will be arbitrary and marry his sister to Bao clothes people.
And there is another thing that has to be said, the imperial physician has repeatedly emphasized that Princess is not in good health and does not recommend giving birth.Since the two families got married, this matter must be known to others. Some powerful families value the children of the main house very much, and they may be a little unhappy in their hearts, but these coated servants are the emperor's servants. Marry a princess, maybe people will wake up laughing from their dreams.
He was worried that his younger sister would marry into these families, especially the Li family. Li Xu had sons and nephews, and they were all young men of the right age, and they were absolutely positive about such things.
He panicked, and at the same time he was trying to figure out who's young man could be his brother-in-law in the capital.Since Huang Ama couldn't make up his mind, he found a suitable one for Huang Ama.
At this time, he received another errand from Er Niang. Er Niang said that his younger brothers were going to move out. As an elder brother, he had experience of living away from Er Niang, so he wanted to decorate the yard for his younger brother and tell them about living alone. What should I know and learn when I go out to live?
So when he was not busy, he picked up Yang Dan's pile of things in the garden. Yang Dan came, followed by a bunch of radish heads.The fifth elder brother took over the eleventh matter, and the eighth elder brother took over the fourteenth twelve.
Thirteen is relying on the fourth elder brother. In fact, Thirteen and Fourteen are still young, and these two people are not in a hurry to study, but these two boys have more dangerous ideas than his brothers, and they are daring. The power is particularly strong.Don't look at her young age of 14, now she coaxes his concubine into a daze.
Concubine Liang also felt that her little thing was a very innocent little guy outside.But in fact, this guy is the same as Lao Ba, and he can toss in the same line.
After Tian Mi came over with him and Shisi for a long time, she promised them to go out to study together.I made an agreement with them for three chapters, and after talking about the rules for a long time, both of them readily agreed.Tian Mi thought in her heart that it is better to be alone than to be troubled by others, and to throw these burdens out to the masters, so that the masters can have a headache.
So I threw away these burdens thoroughly, and even threw the decoration of their house to these princes.
Thirteen is a well-behaved little guy. Yang Dan is also an obedient child. It may also be because the fourth elder brother has a straight face and doesn't usually play around with them, so that they feel that the fourth elder brother is more dignified.So things on the fourth elder brother's side were done very quickly, but the fourteenth elder brother's yard next door was full of chaos.
Twelve is a well-behaved child, and he was fined a few days ago for spreading gossip.These two days, I have been obedient, but watching the starling and the fourteenth elder brother sing a play and tear down the stage, I enjoy watching it, crying is more interesting than the big drama of the Shengping Department. Carried away.
So the little guys are almost settled, and only the fourteenth brother's yard is not done.Brother Eight could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
The ninth elder brother struggled for a while and went in to help. The fifth elder brother was told many times in private by Yifei, and Yifei's original words were "Then you can do whatever you want, you brothers have grown up , what he wants to do, you persuade him once is affection, and if you persuade him too much, even this affection will be gone.”
Therefore, the fifth elder brother greeted the fourth elder brother who was standing aside, and the two went out to go home together.
After tossing around in the garden for a long time, it was already dark when he went out. The fifth child looked at the night and invited the fourth elder brother to stay in his garden for one night.
"Don't ride your horse back and forth at night. It's too dark to see clearly. I have a guest room there. My fourth brother will stay for one night and go back tomorrow."
"My Zhuangzi is not far from here. It takes half an hour to ride a horse, so I won't bother you."
After all, the fifth son's garden is a bit small, and there is no spare yard after the family members are resettled, so it is not appropriate for the fourth elder brother to disturb him as an elder brother.
When the two were parting, the fifth elder brother suddenly stopped the fourth elder brother, "Fourth elder brother, the empress dowager said that she would go to Hongluo Temple to offer incense in two days, and she brought Jiumei with her, and named me to guard the side , my brother thought, otherwise we will go together at that time, I wonder if you will be free in two days?"
"Incense?" It's no wonder that the fourth elder brother asked. The queen mother still can't speak Chinese. Although she believes in Buddhism, she is obviously more interested in the Lamaism on the grassland.
"That's right, take Jiumei with you. Maybe you will stay there for a few days. The queen mother wants me to push back the future. I think if you have free time, why don't you ride a horse together?" Send them there, and then you can do your work, they will live there, anyway, it won’t take too long to ride back and forth.”
"Okay, my brother has agreed to this matter, and you will send someone to tell me in advance when the time comes."
The two of them bid farewell on the side of the road. The fourth elder brother didn't know what the queen mother meant by this move, or what the emperor Ama had ordered. The next day before dawn, he entered the garden. When he got off his horse in front of a door, he saw Shisan alone squatting under a tree.
The fourth elder brother went over and asked, "Why are you staying here?"
"The older brothers have all gone to study. The concubine Liang is sick and the fourteenth younger brother went to accompany her, leaving the younger brother alone with nothing to do."
The fourth elder brother looked around and found that although he brought a group of servants, she was the only one squatting under the tree to play, stretched out his fingers a few times, "Let's go, follow brother, brother will take you to greet the queen mother. "
Thirteen happily reached out and grabbed the fourth elder brother's finger, and the two of them held hands to find the empress dowager.
Along the way, Brother Thirteen chirped and asked questions.The fourth elder brother is very patient at this time, and he answers whatever people ask. The two brothers seem to be amiable.
The Queen Mother's place is still as happy as ever, the fourth elder brother invited An to sit down, and couldn't help asking when drinking milk tea with a silver bowl.
"I heard from Lao Wu that you are going to Hongluo Temple in a few days. I don't know which Bodhisattva you want to worship?"
"I don't know how many Bodhisattvas there are, just go to the door and worship. It was your emperor Ama who said that the scenery over there is good, so let me go around."
The fourth elder brother thought that it was so, the queen mother was too lazy to move, how could it take a day and a half to go there to burn incense sticks and stay for another two days.
"How did you hear that Jiumei was also brought there?"
After asking the queen mother like this, she looked around like a thief, and whispered to the fourth elder brother's ear, "I told you, you are not allowed to tell others that your Huang Ama asked your sister to accompany me , I will live in the capital from now on.”
After finishing speaking, the queen mother was very happy. She raised these children, the boys all moved out, and the oldest girl was Jiugege.She really wanted to leave a child to live in the capital, so that she could call someone over to talk to her at any time when she was old.
Kangxi offered to keep Jiu Gege in the capital, and the queen mother was happier than anyone else. Considering that the fourth elder brother is Jiu Gege's elder brother, it is inevitable to ask at this time: "I will tell you this matter quietly. Going out every day to keep an eye on Haoerlang from each family to see which one is worthy of our Gege."
The fourth elder brother agreed, thinking in his heart that it seemed that Huang Ama hadn't made up his mind on who to marry his sister to.
When the day came to send the Queen Mother to Hongluo Temple to offer incense, the fourth elder brother noticed that the guards here were second-class and third-class guards in front of the imperial court.They are all handsome young men of Yishui, and they seem to be in good spirits.
Although there are several ministers in charge of the guards in the palace, the one who is currently arranging these guards is a Duke of the No. [-] Fen Township.According to seniority, these princes should be called uncles.This Duke of Zhen is a standard general, tall and strong.
He was staring at the guards, and the fourth elder brother went over in person.Although the seniority is relatively high, the fourth elder brother belongs to the high rank.
The fourth elder brother said politely: "I didn't expect you to be on duty here today."
"According to the imperial decree of the emperor, the slaves are here to watch in person today. The empress dowager doesn't go out often. This time, there are not only our guards, but also Luan Yiwei. You have to take a look in person to be at ease. The fourth master is going too? "
"It's okay for the past two days. Let's go with Lao Wu. These guards are all drawn out? They look very mighty."
"They're all from our own family. There's no need for slaves to coax you with those beautiful words. They're all ostentatious. Those who are serious and capable are still by the emperor's side and don't dare to transfer them. Thinking that Hongluo Temple is not far away from us." Far away, there are no rioters at the feet of the emperor, so I sent this group of people to fill the scene."
Of course the fourth elder brother knew that many of the imperial guards were sent in by noble families to be plated with gold. Standing on the side of the road and taking a look, there were indeed many children of noble families, and he already understood in his heart.
It seems that Huang Ama doesn't want to find a future power minister for Jiumei, just be honest and obedient.
After a while, the empress dowager's sedan chair was carried out, and the procession started slowly. The fourth elder brother cupped his hands and bid farewell to the governor, mounted his horse and followed the procession.
The large group of people walked on the road, and the road was a dirt road. There was no way to sprinkle some water and ash on the road in advance like the emperor went out.In addition, the sun gets bigger and bigger as time goes by. Although there are a few shade trees on the road, they can't provide shade for the whole team.After walking out of a certain range, the team lost the energy it had just now, procrastinating and dejected.
The Empress Dowager and Jiu Gege still had an ice basin inside the sedan chair, they just felt a bit stuffy and not very hot.The fourth child and the fifth child were exposed to the sun, covered their whole bodies tightly, and felt profusely sweating.
A servant had already offered the water bottle to the fourth elder brother, "Master, take a sip."
The fourth elder brother turned his head to look at the fifth child, and saw that the sweat on his face washed away the dust on his face one by one.I couldn't help but wiped my face with my hand and asked Su Peisheng who was beside me: "Is there any dust on my face?"
"There are both, and Fifth Master also has them on his face."
You dog slave, it was because I saw the fifth face, that I asked your grandfather if there was any.Needless to say, Grandpa also has it on his face.
The team lingered until noon, dejectedly, and finally reached a shaded place, blown by the wind, it was extremely cool.At this time, the team was procrastinating and didn't want to get out of the shade.
The fourth elder brother looked down on this group of people very much, and they were all delaying things here, so he couldn't help calling the person who led the team over to ask.
"Why are you walking so slowly at the moment, go there earlier and rest earlier, the longer you spend on the road, the longer you will be exposed to the sun."
The person who came was Mingzhu's grandson, this team was full of young masters, he couldn't command this group of people, because there was also a grandson who asked for his forehead.They also sincerely encouraged a group of people to be unwilling to move in order to hold him back.Since this group of people can't get away, let's just rest for a while.
"Fourth master, everyone's water supplies are not enough. We've all drank it up now. It's cooler here. After walking all morning, I'm very tired. This servant also wants to ask fourth master and fifth master to allow him to rest here for a while."
After his words came out, the guards who could hear around him ouched a few times.It looked like he was going to die here almost immediately and never get up again.
The fourth elder brother was angry: people like this, what can we expect them to do in the future? !
Veins popped out on his forehead, and he was about to speak while riding on the horse, but he was grabbed by the fifth elder brother, "Forget it, fourth brother, let them rest here for a while."
There were voices of thanks all around, the fifth brother said so, and the fourth elder brother didn't pursue it, he rode to the side of the sedan chair, "Queen Mother, let's rest here for a while."
"Well, rest."
Jiu Gege hurriedly asked: "Do you want to drink water, fourth brother and fifth brother? There is iced herbal tea in the sedan chair."
The fifth child hurried to the window, "Jiumei, brother, please pour a glass for brother first."
Then the curtain of the window was lifted, and a few white and tender fingers handed out a cup. The fifth elder brother took it and breathed a sigh of relief, "Great! Fourth brother, do you want to drink?"
The fourth elder brother turned his head and walked away, "I won't drink."
"Fourth Brother's stink has happened again. He doesn't like these guards and thinks they are too stretched. If you want to make Fourth Brother happy at this moment, these guards must immediately go on the road in a daze."
After finishing speaking, he passed the cup in, "Good girl, if the fourth brother doesn't drink, the fifth brother will drink, so I'll have another glass for my brother."
Jiu Gege inside was worried, "You guys are riding on horseback in such a hot day, I'm afraid that the fourth brother will not be able to bear it, otherwise this pot will be given to you, and the fifth brother will also persuade the fourth brother to drink something."
A teapot was handed out from inside the sedan chair, and the eunuch who followed the sedan chair held it to the fifth elder brother. The fifth elder brother held the teapot in one hand and the horse rein in the other to find the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother was talking to someone at this time. In front of him was a descendant of the Tong family, Tong Guowei's eldest grandson, Qi Busong, who came to see the fourth elder brother with a water bag.
Qi Busong's father is Ye Keshu, and in terms of family status, he is not as good as Yue Xing'a.And Yue Xing'a is the future Patriarch who the current family is doing their best to cultivate.
"Si Ye, there were so many people just now, the slave didn't come to greet you, I didn't expect to meet Si Ye here today, the slave has water here, it's clean..."
"You can drink, I brought some. There are a few people here that I don't know, which family's young master can you point them out to? Why are they so lazy and disobeying orders one by one."
When the fifth elder brother came over, it was Qi Busong who quietly introduced to the fourth elder brother who came out of which family.The fifth elder brother didn't say a word, he stuffed the water bottle in his arms to the fourth elder brother, and listened with gusto.
It so happened that at this time someone was driving a bullock cart passing by. There were an old man and a young man sitting in the bullock cart, and the people who drove the cart happened to be three generations old, middle-aged and young.
These young masters were sitting and resting by the side of the road. The drivers were a little hesitant. It was too late to hide. A group of people sat on the road.
Thinking of the cattle station here for a while, I still walked forward.This group of young masters didn't want to let go at all, but the team leader asked them to move.It was just a broken ox cart, and the person who drove the ox cart was also a commoner around. He dragged two people into the city for the purpose of earning a hard-earned money.
Everyone was sitting and watching this bullock cart coming from the road and passing through most of the team. There were people sitting in the cart, one old and one young, all wearing bamboo hats. The bamboo hats were pressed down very low. The old and the young are dark and thin, and they don't look like rich people.
The middle-aged man driving the carriage apologized to everyone as he walked, and when he was about to reach the Empress Dowager's sedan chair, an eunuch beside the sedan chair yelled, "Hurry up, don't bump into the nobleman."
The man who drove the car nodded and bowed, pulled the bull nose ring and walked forward. It seemed that he also wanted to leave here quickly.
The group of young masters sitting on the ground didn't think too much, the fourth elder brother stood up quickly, the people on the bullock cart had already grabbed two long objects, and the fourth elder brother threw the teapot in his arms at the two of them.
The teapot flew over, and the two of them just hid for a while. The teapot flew over, and the two drew their swords and shouted: "Fight the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, restore our rivers and mountains!"
Now the lying guards got up and swarmed up, there were too many people, the guards, eunuchs and assassins were all crowded together, the fifth elder brother picked up a big flag, took off the flagpole, and rushed into the sedan chair to wrap the queen mother and Jiu Gege , "Come out, the sedan chair is not safe anymore."
The sedan chair was crowded and swayed, their grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other in fright, and after listening to Fifth Prince's words, they followed out without saying a word, and the maids and eunuchs quickly hid around them.
The sedan chair collapsed, and a group of people were still punching and kicking together, screaming and insulting loudly.
Jiugege also heard the fourth brother shout: "Tie them up, don't let them bite their tongues and kill themselves."
After a moment of confusion, the three of them were tied up, their bags were searched, and all the contents were spread out in front of the fourth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother asked someone to clean up the sedan chair, but the sedan chair was already worn out and could no longer hold people.He looked at the three people who were still on the ground, then at the fourth brother who was reading a letter, and went over to discuss, "Let someone report to the garden, we can't go to Hongluo Temple today. Hurry up." Send the wives away."
"Well, I have to tell Huang Ama about this matter as soon as possible. These two people need to be sent to Huang Ama."
He found a sharp-tongued guard and asked him to report the news as fast as possible on horseback.
This time, no matter how hot the weather is, everyone is excited, this is a meritorious service, and the emperor will reward everyone after returning.
Stimulated by this incident, when I went back, I was extremely fast and full of energy and fighting spirit.Catching two assassins was like winning a big battle, and they all returned to the garden with their chests and bellies held out like little roosters.
The Empress Dowager and Jiugege were welcomed by all the concubines to the Empress Dowager's palace. The first thing the old lady said since the accident was, "I will never go out again."
The crowd gathered around to persuade them again, probably meaning to bring more people with them when going out in the future, so that things like this will not happen every time.
After being frightened, both the Queen Mother and Jiu Gege immediately became depressed, and they wanted to be quiet when they returned to a safe place.Tian Mi recruited the imperial physician and the concubines to wait for their diagnosis and treatment results, and only dispersed when they heard that they were asleep.
And Qingxi Bookstore was still busy with this matter until night, although many people saw the assassin, but not many people participated in the decision-making of Qingxi Bookstore.
The fifth and sixth brothers waited outside the study for a long time but they were not greeted.It wasn't until dark that the two brothers waited after eating, but after everything was arranged, the two of them were called into the study.
"It's not bad today. The queen mother and your sister came back safely, and captured two more assassins. These are all thanks to you. I will give you a few days off later and take a good rest." After Kangxi finished speaking, he waved his hand wearily. , Let the two of them retreat together.
Fifth elder brother couldn't help asking: "Huang Ama, what's the origin of these two assassins?"
"What is the origin? The origin of anti-Qing and Fuming. That's enough, you two don't ask about this matter, kneel down."
The fourth elder brother has experienced it before. He went on a business trip with Yabu, and this experience will never be forgotten in his life. Seeing that the fifth brother still asked, he asked the fifth brother to come out together.
"We know what we should know, we don't need to know what we shouldn't know, go back and rest early." After finishing speaking, the fourth elder brother yawned, "You go back to the garden, I will go to the brothers' yard for a squeeze .”
"Squeeze who and where?"
"Whether it's Yangdan or Shisan's yard, it can be crowded anywhere."
The fifth elder brother thought it was true, so the two said goodbye outside the study. After watching the fifth elder brother leave, the fourth elder brother quickly ordered: "Su Peisheng, go and ask if it is Jane who was discussing with the emperor in the study just now." Prince?"
Just as Su Peisheng was about to leave, the fourth elder brother called him quickly, "No need, come back."
Prince Jane must have intervened in such a big matter, so I better not inquire about it, after all, Huang Ama has a lot of people in the dark.
Because Yang Dan has to get up early to study tomorrow morning, in order to influence him, the fourth elder brother ran to Shisan's yard to deal with him all night.
Shisan still has the right to sleep late at this moment. Although he lives alone, he doesn't need to study, so he is very free.In the morning, after the little bird flew to the window and called a few times, the brothers woke up leisurely.
There will be a holiday in the next few days, and the fourth brother thinks in his heart that it is better to bring Shisan to his home and let him play with Honghui for a few days
