Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty
Chapter 139
In the eyes of the fourth elder brother, Princess Rongxian is wishful thinking.
Although the fourth elder brother criticized Honghui every day, he was very satisfied with this son and was proud of it.What's more, my father thought that none of the emperor's grandsons could compare with Honghui.
Regarding the fact that Princess Rong Xian took a fancy to his own son, he first said that Princess Rong Xian was quite discerning, and his second reaction was: But Princess Rong Xian's children are not good.He was short of saying in front of Tian Mi that he wanted to eat swan meat.
Another point is that the fourth prince insists that a virtuous wife is less likely to cause harm. When marrying a daughter-in-law for a son, he must marry a more virtuous one.Don't ask how fast your brain is, how clever your ideas are, at least you don't want to be hindered.
The fourth elder brother's attitude made Princess Rong Xian very dissatisfied.Even if you are dissatisfied, there is nothing you can do. After all, marriage is not a family matter, and twisted melons are not sweet.
The princess thought, there are many emperors and grandchildren in the capital, this one won't work, it's okay to find another one who is similar.But after looking at it, Hong Hui is still a good-looking kid with a good bearing.
Hongxi's marriage was a cousin, and both the Empress Dowager and Kangxi wanted the royal family to have a happy event to cover up this year's twists and turns, so Princess Rongxian's daughter was going to marry Hongxi in winter.
During the six months of preparing for marriage, Princess Rongxian entered the palace several times, and also expressed her intention to marry the fourth elder brother's family in front of the empress dowager and the emperor several times.
At the beginning, the queen mother was still a little hesitant, thinking whether she should come forward to make a match, but later she let go of this thought.
The reason is also because Hongxi's daughter-in-law made her feel a little unacceptable.
Hongxi's daughter-in-law came to the palace a few times. In order to let the young couple develop some feelings, Concubine Rong specially took her granddaughter over and let her stay in the palace for a few days.
But a few days ago, it was fine, the palace was peaceful, but within a few days, Ge Ge became domineering.
First, she became picky about what she ate. Concubine Rong has not been favored for many years. Although there is a small kitchen, some hard dishes still need to be delivered from the imperial dining room.After all, the slaves at Concubine Rong couldn't handle it, so the master chef in the imperial dining room had to do it.
Because of the cold weather, after the food was delivered, the dishes on the plate were lukewarm, and some of the dishes had oil lumps on them.
Seeing this, Ge Ge got angry from his heart, and asked the Mongolian female slave beside him to beat up the eunuch who delivered the meal without saying a word.By the time Concubine Rong knew about it, everyone had already finished beating her. Concubine Rong had no choice but to go to Tian Mi to apologize for her granddaughter.
She is a spoiled guest now, and will be a daughter-in-law of the younger generation in the future, Tian Mi can't tell, so she has to turn the matter over.
A few days later, she entertained her cousins in the palace, specifying that silver plates should be used.The Ministry of Internal Affairs searched around and found a set for her.After reading this, Ge Ge was not satisfied, and tossed and tossed to find a set that satisfied her.
People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs felt that this girl was difficult to serve, and silver plates were usually not used except for big occasions, and sometimes gold and silver tableware were not used on some big occasions.
These tableware are left to eat ashes in the warehouse, and they don't look bright after a long time, and they are a little black.The pattern on it satisfies her, but she thinks it is not bright enough, and she is not satisfied with the pattern if it is bright enough.
This girl lives in the inner palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not in the palace, so it took a whole day to carry these utensils back and forth for her.
As a result, the girl was dissatisfied, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not want to send it away.Both sides couldn't help rolling their eyes.The girl ran to Tian Mi and sued the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that she found that the tableware delivered was missing plates and bowls, maybe some slaves stole the tableware and quietly melted the money to fill their own pockets.
This statement frightened everyone in the House of Internal Affairs.
And Tian Mi hasn't reorganized the House of Internal Affairs for a long time, there is no reason for Tian Mi not to follow up with such steps, and immediately sent her capable maids and eunuchs to start checking the accounts of the House of Internal Affairs.
For a while, there were crying and complaining in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, many people secretly scolded the girl, and even Concubine Rong and the third child did not get well in the mouths of these slaves.
The princess is very troubled by such a daughter-in-law who is about to enter the house. She is not in good health recently, and there are many things in the East Palace.In addition, seeing her daughter-in-law do this kind of thing again, she can't wait to go to the empress dowager and the emperor to say that she is annulling the engagement.
The entire Eastern Palace was somewhat displeased with this Ge Ge, Hong Xi didn't want to marry this girl, and thought she was just a wild girl, too barbaric.The Crown Princess felt that this girl was ignorant, she had become so self-willed, how long would it take me to teach this girl well?
And recently, I don't know what the prince is thinking, and he has made big moves frequently.What's more, he was so stupid that everything the prince did hit the emperor's lungs.
First of all, the first thing he did was to sell the official title.
The official positions of imperial officials are clearly priced, and he can install people as long as they are paid.
When the princess heard the news, she fainted at that time.Weeping and begging the prince to stop quickly, you have already been demolished once, don't you want to be demolished a second time.The prince didn't listen at all, and naturally he wouldn't stop, so the concubine fell ill again in panic.
The second thing the prince did was to neglect the government.
It's good to delay something in his hands for ten days and half a month, and he doesn't care about some things when he is entrusted to him.
Often, Kangxi felt that the crown prince should finish this matter, and sent someone to ask, but he didn't do it.
Then there is the extravagance of life.Not long after he was reinstated as the prince, he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make dozens of clothes for him.
This request seems to be acceptable to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Anyway, there are a lot of fabrics in the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the clothes are made.
As a result, after the clothes were finished, the prince was not satisfied and asked to have them redone.I didn't say what I was not satisfied with, but I was still dissatisfied after sending it over for the second time. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs quietly inquired and asked the eunuch next to the prince: "What does the prince think is not good, please let me know. The servants are going to change it now? Otherwise, we have made hundreds of clothes over and over again, and I don’t know what’s wrong..."
The eunuch next to the prince replied arrogantly, saying that the prince didn't like the color of the clothes.
This is not difficult. There are quite a lot of fabric patterns in the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At that time, I brought over those cloth heads specially selected for people to choose colors and materials.As a result, the prince didn't like a color after looking at it.
It was not difficult for the prince to give the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few colors to let them do it. When these colors reported to Tian Mi, Tian Mi was dumbfounded.
"Camel hair, furnace silver, bronze, fire smoke, Yu Bai..."
After reporting a series of names, Tian Mi was attracted by the three words "out of the oven".Tian Mi knows this color, it is probably white with reddish color, it is said that the fabric still has some luster, in short this color is a very magnificent color, Tian Mi has never seen this color, but has heard of this color.
Back then, Kangxi and Kangxi had nothing to do in the snow. When chatting on the kang, Kangxi told Tian Mi disgustedly, "This color is not decent, so I never pay tribute, and good people don't use this color."
There is no right or wrong color itself, but the world thinks that white is not white, red is not red, and pink is not pink, so people who wear this color are not serious.
There is no such color in the palace, nor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and because they never pay tribute.It is estimated that the three weaving mansions in the south of the Yangtze River have no inventory.
It is really a headache for the crown prince to want clothes of this color. It will take at least more than a month to make this kind of fabric, and then send it from Jiangnan to the capital. The fastest time is two months.
Tian Mi tapped the paper with her fingernails, "The prince has spoken, but we really don't have any here. Tell him, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely do it, please wait a while, some other colors will be made first, and there will be no ones." It’s time to make up for it.”
Kangxi was very dissatisfied with the crown prince because of his troubles these days, and he also heard that he wanted strangely colored clothes now.He couldn't help scolding the prince once, saying that he was wasting money and wasting money by asking so much, and felt that he had already made hundreds of clothes, and it would be extravagant to ask for more clothes, so he ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to make any more clothes for him.
For such a small matter, the father and son can quarrel several times in a few days.After a long time, the prince stopped going to Kangxi, and the more Kangxi thought about it, the more he felt that the child was contradicting him on purpose, and his heart ached with anger.
Originally, the palace was peaceful, and it was all their family who were tossing and tossing non-stop.So Kangxi told the queen mother that in the future, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the prince's family, nor the affairs of Rong Xian's family.
Regarding Yu Rongxian's idea of marrying his youngest daughter to Honghui, Kangxi did not agree at all, and drove Princess Rongxian away with a cold snort.
Kangxi's idea is very simple, one grandson has already been harmed, and the other grandson must not be allowed to be harmed again.
But even though the days passed by, Kangxi still felt that the prince was not to his liking.The idea of abolishing the prince has already sprouted in his heart.
Not only did Kangxi feel that the abolished prince had gone too far recently, but even the princes felt that since this person was released, he was very different from the past.In Yang Dan's evaluation: "It doesn't look like a gentleman".
Just because of the prince's poor performance, these princes' restless hearts began to stir again.
Kangxi, who was very wary of these children, felt sad again.
The crown prince is going to be abolished, but this time is different from last time, this time we must plan carefully.After the prince is abolished this time, the prince will not be established, so let's live slowly.It's like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey so that they can see it but not eat it.Only in this way will the children be well-behaved, otherwise they will only fight like black-eyed chickens and intensify internal friction.
But the crown prince has just been reinstated and abolished not long after that, the situation will be unstable. The father and son have a tacit understanding, and everyone is waiting.
During this waiting, the wedding day came, and the bride should be very happy, but the groom's face could be called wonderful.
If you want to say happy, you look very unhappy, if you want to say unhappy, you still have a smile on your face.You can see a bit of resistance and relaxation from his face.
Tian Mi didn't know how such a strange emotion could be expressed on a face.Anyway, after the daughter-in-law got married, the groom breathed a sigh of relief.
But the Crown Princess brought this up. She has a very good relationship with her younger siblings. When they got married, they sat at the same table for dinner. Even if San Fujin was here, the Crown Princess told the truth.
"In my heart, I am worried about how to get along with my daughter-in-law. Alas, this is the first time I marry a daughter-in-law. I have all kinds of feelings in my heart."
When he said this, the expression on his face was a bit bitter, not like he was happy.Thinking of Concubine Liang's bitter past, everyone raised their glasses to each other and toasted her.
Sanfujin's toast is respectful this time, and she herself looks down on this niece, but there are some things that should be said and some things that should not be said.The aunt can't dismantle the bride's platform at this time, so everything goes without saying.
The wedding ended, and Sanfujin and Sifujin left together. Sanfujin was also full of bitterness, "People say that my sister-in-law is a troublemaker. I didn't believe it before, but now I finally believe it. The princess came a few days ago In our family, just open your mouth and ask our grandfather to take care of our niece, and our grandfather readily agreed.
You don't even know what it's like in my heart that they lived in our house for the past two months!In the past two months, just looking for dowries for their mother and son, I wish I could cut off my own flesh and give them to them. The good ones are picky, and the ordinary ones don’t look up to them... The princess also doesn’t look down on our family’s princesses, Said it was the same as that wooden beauty, and said it was some beauty lamps, and said that I don't know how to teach children, and babbled endlessly, in a word, she just didn't like me, and I couldn't help her, and Concubine Rong was everywhere. Protect her, she is more comfortable in our house than in theirs. "
Si Fujin sighed, Fourth Master's younger sister was in the capital, every time Si Fujin was sick, Si Fujin would come to see her, and the two of them couldn't talk together when they were gossips, but the conflict was not sharp.At most, this topic can't be agreed upon and changed to another one.No one pointed at Si Fujin's nose and said that she can't teach children, can't take care of men, can't housekeeper...
The two talked all the way because of this matter, and finally the topic turned to the princess.
"I see that the princess' complexion is not very good. I heard that she has been drinking medicine for a while. I don't know what kind of illness it is. Why does she look a little..."
It looks a little abnormal, after all, there is still a big difference between people who have been sick all year round and normal people.
Si Fujin knew it all too well. The empress in the palace drank medicine all the year round, and there was a bitter taste lingering on her body.It's fine when you're in good spirits, but when you're not in good spirits, you just lie down and can't get out of bed.
Si elder brother was frightened by several illnesses. He was a little frightened when he saw the empress's pale face. He told Si Fujin privately that he was worried that Erniang would not survive.
Si Fujin felt that the face of the Crown Princess was a bit like the empress's when she was seriously ill.
But everyone has their own destiny. When the princess was married into the palace, everyone thought that she would be the empress in the future, and she would live a lifetime of glory and wealth.But I didn't expect to become like this now, I don't know if I can survive until the moment of being a queen, it is really embarrassing to say.
The two talked all the way, and they parted ways after Sifujin arrived at the door of his house.
The fourth elder brother came back early, and was sitting at home reading a book. When he saw Si Fujin coming back, he said, "Hongxi is married now, and it will be the turn of the other emperors and grandchildren. You today I also saw the bride, she looked a bit rebellious, not like an obedient one. We should worry about it earlier, don't ask for a good one for the child, at least it should be a gentler one, save Sometimes it makes the house restless."
"I think so too," Sifujin hesitated, "We want to find a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law, and she thinks so too. There are already quite a few cousins in Honghui in the capital, plus the various clan palaces, little There are more elder brothers in a lifetime. Our family Honghui, we see that everything is fine, and people think their children are good, and the emperor will have so many grandchildren, it may not be our turn to be the top one."
And even if the husband and wife choose a daughter-in-law, it is another matter whether the emperor agrees or not.
Thinking of this question, both of them couldn't help sighing, alas!
Tian Mi was also sighing, she was worried about her son's marriage just like the fourth elder brother and his wife.
Yang Dan is not young anymore, and his younger brothers have already married wives.He was the only one guarding a county palace, living alone.
After hearing this, Yang Dan couldn't help laughing, he is not alone, the slaves in a room take care of themselves, eat and drink as much as they want, and sleep until the sun rises when they want to, how hard life is be free and easy.
However, considering that Yang Dan has not yet become a filial piety, this topic can only be brought up again. Tian Mi's attention to those good girls is far from the point of implementation.
Regarding Yang Dan's marriage, Tian Mi also asked Kangxi insinuatingly behind his back, and Kangxi gave ambiguous answers. He was a little vacillating between looking for a noble Mongolian girl and a lady from everyone.
"You also know that Yang Dan is different from their brothers. Now that he is young and high-ranking, he has no other right and wrong. Relatively speaking, finding a wife is more his preference. Whoever he likes can be his wife. So far, this son has not enlightened, and I don’t know what he likes.”
After finishing speaking, Kangxi looked at Tian Mi and felt that this kind of question should be asked like a mother: "What do you talk to him every day? Don't ask about the key things, but ask about those side things every day."
Hearing this disgusting tone, Tian Mi also felt that she would not know how to do things, "Don't worry, I will be able to ask you in two days."
However, this child Yang Dan is a special ghost, no matter how Tian Mi asks, he won't answer, Tian Mi called Shi Shi over to find out the answer.
"You two brothers are together every day, and you know a little bit about what he thinks. Tell the queen mother, what kind of wife does he want to find?"
Eleven got stuck when asked, "Emperor Niang, you just answer if you want to ask other sons, I really don't know about this."I haven't talked about this when we are together, so I asked suddenly, I really don't know.
Seeing that his expression didn't look fake, Tian Mi came up with a very absurd idea.
Could it be that Yang Dan doesn't like women?
Tian Mi told herself that she must hold on, but don't yell out this conclusion lightly, otherwise she would be making a joke like Concubine Yi.
Tian Mi quietly called some of Yang Dan's eunuchs over to ask.These eunuchs are also very concerned about Yang Dan's emotional problems, but so far, they have not found any signs of bad, nor any signs of love between men and women.
Moreover, Yang Dan's life is very regular, and the time to get up in the morning is fixed. If there is something to do, he will get up at almost 4 o'clock in the morning.If you have nothing to do, you may sleep until noon.There is absolutely no second wake-up time.
I go to bed early at night, work when I have work during the day, and find a few brothers to play when I don’t have work.He and 11 got along well, and the two of them listened to an opera and drank tea together, and neither of them glanced at the woman a few times.
Speaking of this, the eunuch quietly provided a direction, "Maybe the prince is still young, or maybe the eleventh master has not shown any signs so far, so our prince doesn't think too much about it."
This statement is actually very euphemistic, and Tian Mi understands that they mean that none of the friends around are looking for a partner, so Yang Dan doesn't want to.If no one around him plays with him in the future, he will think about such things himself.
There are only eleven people around here, and eleven is not in good health, so Concubine Yi is very strict about this kind of thing.
But... But, aren't these kids more rebellious the stricter they are?
In the end, Tian Mi felt that it was better to ask the fourth elder brother to come forward and ask.
The fourth elder brother went to find Yang Dan after receiving the order. Unfortunately, there were other guests in Yang Dan's house.
Yang Dan's own elder brothers, Yarjiang A and Shisi, are both here.These two have just arrived, and they are sitting here grinding their teeth.
Yang Dan dryly talked with them in the living room, with a cup of tea in front of each of them, not even a handful of melon seeds.
Yaerjiang Azheng earnestly persuaded Yang Dan to go out and have fun with everyone, "You are usually fine at home, what are you doing? Everyone invited you out several times, and you always said that something was wrong. Now when I go out Everyone said to me, 'Your brother doesn't take everyone seriously'..."
Yang Dan couldn't help but wanted to roll his eyes, "What are you going out for? Going out to entertain opera singers and drink? Don't forget that it's not been three years since A Ma passed away, how can we go out and have a good time?"
Yarjan'a couldn't help shrinking his neck. He had gone out to drink with others a few times recently.Because there are too many people flattering him, he really floated up. It seems that he has to restrain his recent behavior, otherwise someone will shout everywhere.
"I did it as a last resort, but you have to listen to what my brother said. We are all a family, and it doesn't matter if they invite you out to climb high and look far away, drink tea and chat, you always have to come out to meet and socialize with everyone. Every day If you stay at home for a long time, you will get moldy."
Speaking of the arrival of the fourth elder brother here, Yaerjiang was very upset. He and the fourth elder brother were somewhat at odds. At this time, he dragged his voice and asked, "What wind brought the fourth elder brother here today? This is a distinguished guest. Usually rare."
The fourth elder brother didn't take Yaerjiang a seriously, and said directly to Yang Dan who was sitting on the main seat: "The emperor sent me to see if there is anything else that needs to be repaired here? It is confirmed that it will open next year." Chun directly sent people over to repair it."
Yarjan asked: "Why is it starting to be repaired again? This is a mansion that has just been built." Speaking of this, he quickly asked: "Did it not be done before? Now it is reworked?"
The fourth elder brother sat down next to him, "He will always marry a wife. At that time, the place where the female relatives live in the backyard must be repainted, and because there are no people in it for a long time, there may be some problems. Check it out first, don't check anything when Fujin enters the door, and when it rains, it rains heavily outside and light rain inside, then it will be messy and messy, and life will be a mess."
After finishing speaking, he flicked the dust on his clothes, "What are you two doing here? It's not easy to see you normally."
Fourteen stood up and replied, "Fourth Brother, let's invite Brother Yang Dan to go hunting with us. Tomorrow we will set up a game in the western suburbs hunting ground. A few friends brought some slaves, all of them are good players. Yang Dan My brother is also an excellent archer who can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps, we want him to go with us tomorrow to become stronger."
The fourth elder brother knew what was going on in his heart, now Shisi and those low-level generals in the army somehow colluded with each other.The so-called friends and servants are all these generals. If you want to say that these people have some skills, what they lack is their background and opportunities.
However, dealing with these people in the military must be careful and careful.The fourth elder brother looked at Yang Dan. Yang Dan didn't want to go, so he yawned, "I'm sorry, I can't go tomorrow, I have to watch in the mansion. If I don't explain to those little bastards, the Ministry of Internal Affairs Those little bastards must have done a rough job."
Fourteen couldn't believe it, the House of Internal Affairs was firmly controlled by the queen, and Yang Dan was raised by the queen. It was too late for the servants in the house to fawn on him, how could they be perfunctory to Yang Dan.
"Brother Yang Dan..."
"I really can't go to the fourteenth brother. Otherwise, you can find someone else."
Yaerjiang stood up, "If you don't want to go, don't go, my brother came to you to want you to get up and move around, don't stay at home all day. By the way, your nephew will be angry in half a month. Come back to our palace, they all miss you very much."
Yang Dan quickly agreed that this is a serious matter and cannot be dismissed.
After Yaerjiang and Fourteen left, the fourth elder brother frowned.
I know this brother Yang Dan too well. Seeing his frowning and hard face, he knew he was going to preach, "Don't worry, fourth brother, I won't get mixed up with them. I'm not a fool. They hunt and drink every day. I can't talk to them, and I'm also a filial person now, so it's impossible to go out to dinner and socialize with others."
The fourth elder brother's face brightened a little, "You remember what you said. Fourteen...how should I put it? It's not a thing in the pool."
The two brothers pretended to be confused while pretending to be ignorant, and Yang Dan's eyeliner was all over the country.Although there is no eyeliner in the army, but if you keep an eye on Shisi, you can understand everything clearly.
And he has to report to the emperor every few days.
The sticky place established by the fourth elder brother himself has eyeliners all over the capital, and it is easy for them to follow and listen to news.So the fourth elder brother also has a lot of news, and it is very timely.
Both are foxes who have been around for thousands of years. At this time, they both pretended to be little milk dogs. They both thought that the other party didn't know what they were doing, so the atmosphere between the two brothers was very friendly.
The fourth elder brother thought about his reason for coming, and holding a cup, he talked with Yang Dan for a while: from his own children to relatives' children.After talking about these children, I started talking about my childhood.
Just talking about these things made Yang Dan feel drowsy, but the fourth elder brother was also a talker, and he liked to talk very much. Yang Dan couldn't intervene, and he had to respond to others.
After a long time, Yang Dan wanted to leave here, looking around for an opportunity to escape.
After talking for a long time, I added five or six cups of tea, the fourth elder brother was over today's addiction, he stopped talking contentedly, and only said a more important word.
"What kind of girl do you want to find as Fujin, tell me first, so that Er Niang can find out more easily."
Yang Dan didn't care, "What kind of one can I find? Just make a living."
It seems that this requirement is very low, but it is very difficult to achieve this goal.
Fourth elder brother lowered his voice, "You have to think about it, think about it and talk to Er Niang, Er Niang suspects that you are a broken sleeve."
This sentence made Yang Dan jump up all of a sudden, "What did you say? What did Er Niang suspect me?"
The fourth elder brother drank the last sip of tea in the tea bowl, "You heard it right just now. So don't be perfunctory to Er Niang, tell her clearly what you want, don't you know what an old lady of this age does in the palace?" Nothing, do you like to think wildly when you are free?"
Yang Dan sat down indignantly, "I told Erniang that you were calling her an old lady behind her back."
"Go, go talk, Er Niang will definitely teach me, but you will have to be taught a lesson at that time. What are you thinking? If you can't make up your mind, brother will help you. I have a servant named Nian Geng Yao. You should know him. He has a younger sister who is said to be a talented woman. How about it? Do you like a talented woman who is full of poetic and literary spirit?"
"Who?"
"Nian Gengyao is a person with both civil and military skills. Their family is under the elder brother's sect. The girls in his family were also raised by gold and jade, and they have read a lot of books in their stomachs. They will not be like Guo Luoluo."
Yang Dan thought in his heart: How much does the fourth brother hate the eighth sister-in-law.
Although he does not have any serious errands in the court on the surface, he knows more or less about these officials.
"Nian Gengyao...is Rong Ruo's son-in-law?"
"It's him."
It's a pity that Nalan Rongruo has passed away for many years, and Yang Dan has never met this talented person.
"His father-in-law is so famous, and he also passed the imperial examination. Why is he serving in the army now?"
"It's just a chance meeting," the fourth elder brother didn't want to say too much, and there was also the meaning of the fourth elder brother. He wanted to get involved in the power in the army, but he couldn't intervene on the surface.You can only do some small movements behind your back, and the range of movements should not be large, so the old man must not find out.
Yang Dan nodded, "Although the Nian family has produced many high-ranking officials, my younger brother is not interested in their family." Here Yang Dan paused, thinking that it is necessary to inform the fourth elder brother in advance.
"Besides, Nian Gengyao, that servant, got along quite well with Fourteen recently."
The fourth elder brother immediately understood what it meant, and couldn't help but frowned again.He had already planned in his heart that when he went out later, he would have someone check Nian Gengyao immediately.
Yang Dan took a cup of tea and drank it slowly, "A while ago when Hongxi got married, Nian Gengyao sent a lot of gifts to our brother's house, and I also received a lot of filial piety from here. Quite rich."
This revealed another piece of news to the fourth elder brother, that is, their family has a large amount of money from unknown sources.
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother secretly made a note in his heart, "Everyone has some good things at home, and it's nothing to take them out and honor them."
Yang Dan saw that the fourth elder brother didn't want to continue talking, so he put the news aside, "It's as long as the fourth brother knows it well, by the way, what is the thirteenth brother doing recently?"
"Oh, he still has bad legs and feet, and he is raised at home. I don't know where to find out a folk remedy, saying that soaking wine with ants is effective for his legs. I found a lot of good wine for him, and the imperial doctor said after seeing it No, we must use those spirits, do you have any here, if you have any, send it to the imperial doctor to see."
"These must be strong wine. I have a jar here, which has not been opened. I drank it at Brother Wu's house before. It was very uncomfortable from the burning of my throat to my stomach. After that, I never dared to touch this kind of wine again. Well, since Shisan needs it, Brother Four will take it all away later, and I won’t drink it if it’s left at my place, it’s wasted.”
The fourth elder brother stood up, "Why don't you go together, I went to see him a few days ago, and he said that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much."
Yang Dan packed his things and went with the fourth elder brother. When he arrived at Shisan's house, he didn't expect that there was a fat baby in Shisan's arms who was the son of Shisan's side Fujin.
Although he knew that he had a son, Yang Dan also came to join in the fun when the full moon was over.But at that time, he didn't see the child with his own eyes, but now he saw the white and tender baby lying in Shisan's arms, which shocked Yang Dan very much.
Shisan hugged him first to greet the fourth elder brother, and then handed him to the fourth elder brother for him to have a look.
The fourth elder brother said that he would hold grandchildren but not children, but he still took this nephew into his arms and looked at it carefully, "This kid is blessed, look at how full his forehead is, how little ears and little ingots are Like."
Hearing what the fourth elder brother said, Yang Dan hurried over to have a look.
The fourth elder brother thought that Yang Dan should get married at this age, so he handed the child to him, "Hug him, let's see how good this child is. In a few years, you will be married, and you will be able to be an Ama."
Yang Dan took it over tremblingly, "Why do I think little things are not cute... Thirteenth brother, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that your son is not cute, I mean that all children in the world are not cute." .”
Thirteen smiled gently, "I know what brother means, but marrying a wife and having children is a necessary experience in life. I got used to it at the beginning, and once I got used to it, I felt that children are good everywhere."
Yang Dan wanted to speak again, when suddenly he felt his arms warm up, and a possibility popped up in Yang Dan's mind.
Then a stinky smell rushed into his nostrils, and Yang Dan stiffened all over while holding the child.
"Then what... Brothers, quickly call the servant, this kid seems to be dragged."
In Yang Dan's view, this is a very serious matter, but in the eyes of the two former fathers, it is a trivial matter. After all, it is so normal for children to poop after eating.
After the baby was taken away, Yang Dan's arms were covered with yellow poop, and a little bit was stained on the skirt of his chest.
This smell is really too stinky, smelling this smell, Yang Dan seems to faint.
Seeing his wrinkled face and pinching his nose, Shisan quickly asked someone to find out his new clothes, and then asked someone to boil Yang Dan's bath water.
Yang Dan, who was being dragged to change clothes, told the fourth elder brother before leaving, "You go back and tell Er Niang, just say that I am not married, children are too annoying."
Although the fourth elder brother criticized Honghui every day, he was very satisfied with this son and was proud of it.What's more, my father thought that none of the emperor's grandsons could compare with Honghui.
Regarding the fact that Princess Rong Xian took a fancy to his own son, he first said that Princess Rong Xian was quite discerning, and his second reaction was: But Princess Rong Xian's children are not good.He was short of saying in front of Tian Mi that he wanted to eat swan meat.
Another point is that the fourth prince insists that a virtuous wife is less likely to cause harm. When marrying a daughter-in-law for a son, he must marry a more virtuous one.Don't ask how fast your brain is, how clever your ideas are, at least you don't want to be hindered.
The fourth elder brother's attitude made Princess Rong Xian very dissatisfied.Even if you are dissatisfied, there is nothing you can do. After all, marriage is not a family matter, and twisted melons are not sweet.
The princess thought, there are many emperors and grandchildren in the capital, this one won't work, it's okay to find another one who is similar.But after looking at it, Hong Hui is still a good-looking kid with a good bearing.
Hongxi's marriage was a cousin, and both the Empress Dowager and Kangxi wanted the royal family to have a happy event to cover up this year's twists and turns, so Princess Rongxian's daughter was going to marry Hongxi in winter.
During the six months of preparing for marriage, Princess Rongxian entered the palace several times, and also expressed her intention to marry the fourth elder brother's family in front of the empress dowager and the emperor several times.
At the beginning, the queen mother was still a little hesitant, thinking whether she should come forward to make a match, but later she let go of this thought.
The reason is also because Hongxi's daughter-in-law made her feel a little unacceptable.
Hongxi's daughter-in-law came to the palace a few times. In order to let the young couple develop some feelings, Concubine Rong specially took her granddaughter over and let her stay in the palace for a few days.
But a few days ago, it was fine, the palace was peaceful, but within a few days, Ge Ge became domineering.
First, she became picky about what she ate. Concubine Rong has not been favored for many years. Although there is a small kitchen, some hard dishes still need to be delivered from the imperial dining room.After all, the slaves at Concubine Rong couldn't handle it, so the master chef in the imperial dining room had to do it.
Because of the cold weather, after the food was delivered, the dishes on the plate were lukewarm, and some of the dishes had oil lumps on them.
Seeing this, Ge Ge got angry from his heart, and asked the Mongolian female slave beside him to beat up the eunuch who delivered the meal without saying a word.By the time Concubine Rong knew about it, everyone had already finished beating her. Concubine Rong had no choice but to go to Tian Mi to apologize for her granddaughter.
She is a spoiled guest now, and will be a daughter-in-law of the younger generation in the future, Tian Mi can't tell, so she has to turn the matter over.
A few days later, she entertained her cousins in the palace, specifying that silver plates should be used.The Ministry of Internal Affairs searched around and found a set for her.After reading this, Ge Ge was not satisfied, and tossed and tossed to find a set that satisfied her.
People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs felt that this girl was difficult to serve, and silver plates were usually not used except for big occasions, and sometimes gold and silver tableware were not used on some big occasions.
These tableware are left to eat ashes in the warehouse, and they don't look bright after a long time, and they are a little black.The pattern on it satisfies her, but she thinks it is not bright enough, and she is not satisfied with the pattern if it is bright enough.
This girl lives in the inner palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not in the palace, so it took a whole day to carry these utensils back and forth for her.
As a result, the girl was dissatisfied, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not want to send it away.Both sides couldn't help rolling their eyes.The girl ran to Tian Mi and sued the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that she found that the tableware delivered was missing plates and bowls, maybe some slaves stole the tableware and quietly melted the money to fill their own pockets.
This statement frightened everyone in the House of Internal Affairs.
And Tian Mi hasn't reorganized the House of Internal Affairs for a long time, there is no reason for Tian Mi not to follow up with such steps, and immediately sent her capable maids and eunuchs to start checking the accounts of the House of Internal Affairs.
For a while, there were crying and complaining in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, many people secretly scolded the girl, and even Concubine Rong and the third child did not get well in the mouths of these slaves.
The princess is very troubled by such a daughter-in-law who is about to enter the house. She is not in good health recently, and there are many things in the East Palace.In addition, seeing her daughter-in-law do this kind of thing again, she can't wait to go to the empress dowager and the emperor to say that she is annulling the engagement.
The entire Eastern Palace was somewhat displeased with this Ge Ge, Hong Xi didn't want to marry this girl, and thought she was just a wild girl, too barbaric.The Crown Princess felt that this girl was ignorant, she had become so self-willed, how long would it take me to teach this girl well?
And recently, I don't know what the prince is thinking, and he has made big moves frequently.What's more, he was so stupid that everything the prince did hit the emperor's lungs.
First of all, the first thing he did was to sell the official title.
The official positions of imperial officials are clearly priced, and he can install people as long as they are paid.
When the princess heard the news, she fainted at that time.Weeping and begging the prince to stop quickly, you have already been demolished once, don't you want to be demolished a second time.The prince didn't listen at all, and naturally he wouldn't stop, so the concubine fell ill again in panic.
The second thing the prince did was to neglect the government.
It's good to delay something in his hands for ten days and half a month, and he doesn't care about some things when he is entrusted to him.
Often, Kangxi felt that the crown prince should finish this matter, and sent someone to ask, but he didn't do it.
Then there is the extravagance of life.Not long after he was reinstated as the prince, he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make dozens of clothes for him.
This request seems to be acceptable to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Anyway, there are a lot of fabrics in the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the clothes are made.
As a result, after the clothes were finished, the prince was not satisfied and asked to have them redone.I didn't say what I was not satisfied with, but I was still dissatisfied after sending it over for the second time. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs quietly inquired and asked the eunuch next to the prince: "What does the prince think is not good, please let me know. The servants are going to change it now? Otherwise, we have made hundreds of clothes over and over again, and I don’t know what’s wrong..."
The eunuch next to the prince replied arrogantly, saying that the prince didn't like the color of the clothes.
This is not difficult. There are quite a lot of fabric patterns in the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At that time, I brought over those cloth heads specially selected for people to choose colors and materials.As a result, the prince didn't like a color after looking at it.
It was not difficult for the prince to give the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few colors to let them do it. When these colors reported to Tian Mi, Tian Mi was dumbfounded.
"Camel hair, furnace silver, bronze, fire smoke, Yu Bai..."
After reporting a series of names, Tian Mi was attracted by the three words "out of the oven".Tian Mi knows this color, it is probably white with reddish color, it is said that the fabric still has some luster, in short this color is a very magnificent color, Tian Mi has never seen this color, but has heard of this color.
Back then, Kangxi and Kangxi had nothing to do in the snow. When chatting on the kang, Kangxi told Tian Mi disgustedly, "This color is not decent, so I never pay tribute, and good people don't use this color."
There is no right or wrong color itself, but the world thinks that white is not white, red is not red, and pink is not pink, so people who wear this color are not serious.
There is no such color in the palace, nor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and because they never pay tribute.It is estimated that the three weaving mansions in the south of the Yangtze River have no inventory.
It is really a headache for the crown prince to want clothes of this color. It will take at least more than a month to make this kind of fabric, and then send it from Jiangnan to the capital. The fastest time is two months.
Tian Mi tapped the paper with her fingernails, "The prince has spoken, but we really don't have any here. Tell him, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely do it, please wait a while, some other colors will be made first, and there will be no ones." It’s time to make up for it.”
Kangxi was very dissatisfied with the crown prince because of his troubles these days, and he also heard that he wanted strangely colored clothes now.He couldn't help scolding the prince once, saying that he was wasting money and wasting money by asking so much, and felt that he had already made hundreds of clothes, and it would be extravagant to ask for more clothes, so he ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to make any more clothes for him.
For such a small matter, the father and son can quarrel several times in a few days.After a long time, the prince stopped going to Kangxi, and the more Kangxi thought about it, the more he felt that the child was contradicting him on purpose, and his heart ached with anger.
Originally, the palace was peaceful, and it was all their family who were tossing and tossing non-stop.So Kangxi told the queen mother that in the future, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the prince's family, nor the affairs of Rong Xian's family.
Regarding Yu Rongxian's idea of marrying his youngest daughter to Honghui, Kangxi did not agree at all, and drove Princess Rongxian away with a cold snort.
Kangxi's idea is very simple, one grandson has already been harmed, and the other grandson must not be allowed to be harmed again.
But even though the days passed by, Kangxi still felt that the prince was not to his liking.The idea of abolishing the prince has already sprouted in his heart.
Not only did Kangxi feel that the abolished prince had gone too far recently, but even the princes felt that since this person was released, he was very different from the past.In Yang Dan's evaluation: "It doesn't look like a gentleman".
Just because of the prince's poor performance, these princes' restless hearts began to stir again.
Kangxi, who was very wary of these children, felt sad again.
The crown prince is going to be abolished, but this time is different from last time, this time we must plan carefully.After the prince is abolished this time, the prince will not be established, so let's live slowly.It's like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey so that they can see it but not eat it.Only in this way will the children be well-behaved, otherwise they will only fight like black-eyed chickens and intensify internal friction.
But the crown prince has just been reinstated and abolished not long after that, the situation will be unstable. The father and son have a tacit understanding, and everyone is waiting.
During this waiting, the wedding day came, and the bride should be very happy, but the groom's face could be called wonderful.
If you want to say happy, you look very unhappy, if you want to say unhappy, you still have a smile on your face.You can see a bit of resistance and relaxation from his face.
Tian Mi didn't know how such a strange emotion could be expressed on a face.Anyway, after the daughter-in-law got married, the groom breathed a sigh of relief.
But the Crown Princess brought this up. She has a very good relationship with her younger siblings. When they got married, they sat at the same table for dinner. Even if San Fujin was here, the Crown Princess told the truth.
"In my heart, I am worried about how to get along with my daughter-in-law. Alas, this is the first time I marry a daughter-in-law. I have all kinds of feelings in my heart."
When he said this, the expression on his face was a bit bitter, not like he was happy.Thinking of Concubine Liang's bitter past, everyone raised their glasses to each other and toasted her.
Sanfujin's toast is respectful this time, and she herself looks down on this niece, but there are some things that should be said and some things that should not be said.The aunt can't dismantle the bride's platform at this time, so everything goes without saying.
The wedding ended, and Sanfujin and Sifujin left together. Sanfujin was also full of bitterness, "People say that my sister-in-law is a troublemaker. I didn't believe it before, but now I finally believe it. The princess came a few days ago In our family, just open your mouth and ask our grandfather to take care of our niece, and our grandfather readily agreed.
You don't even know what it's like in my heart that they lived in our house for the past two months!In the past two months, just looking for dowries for their mother and son, I wish I could cut off my own flesh and give them to them. The good ones are picky, and the ordinary ones don’t look up to them... The princess also doesn’t look down on our family’s princesses, Said it was the same as that wooden beauty, and said it was some beauty lamps, and said that I don't know how to teach children, and babbled endlessly, in a word, she just didn't like me, and I couldn't help her, and Concubine Rong was everywhere. Protect her, she is more comfortable in our house than in theirs. "
Si Fujin sighed, Fourth Master's younger sister was in the capital, every time Si Fujin was sick, Si Fujin would come to see her, and the two of them couldn't talk together when they were gossips, but the conflict was not sharp.At most, this topic can't be agreed upon and changed to another one.No one pointed at Si Fujin's nose and said that she can't teach children, can't take care of men, can't housekeeper...
The two talked all the way because of this matter, and finally the topic turned to the princess.
"I see that the princess' complexion is not very good. I heard that she has been drinking medicine for a while. I don't know what kind of illness it is. Why does she look a little..."
It looks a little abnormal, after all, there is still a big difference between people who have been sick all year round and normal people.
Si Fujin knew it all too well. The empress in the palace drank medicine all the year round, and there was a bitter taste lingering on her body.It's fine when you're in good spirits, but when you're not in good spirits, you just lie down and can't get out of bed.
Si elder brother was frightened by several illnesses. He was a little frightened when he saw the empress's pale face. He told Si Fujin privately that he was worried that Erniang would not survive.
Si Fujin felt that the face of the Crown Princess was a bit like the empress's when she was seriously ill.
But everyone has their own destiny. When the princess was married into the palace, everyone thought that she would be the empress in the future, and she would live a lifetime of glory and wealth.But I didn't expect to become like this now, I don't know if I can survive until the moment of being a queen, it is really embarrassing to say.
The two talked all the way, and they parted ways after Sifujin arrived at the door of his house.
The fourth elder brother came back early, and was sitting at home reading a book. When he saw Si Fujin coming back, he said, "Hongxi is married now, and it will be the turn of the other emperors and grandchildren. You today I also saw the bride, she looked a bit rebellious, not like an obedient one. We should worry about it earlier, don't ask for a good one for the child, at least it should be a gentler one, save Sometimes it makes the house restless."
"I think so too," Sifujin hesitated, "We want to find a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law, and she thinks so too. There are already quite a few cousins in Honghui in the capital, plus the various clan palaces, little There are more elder brothers in a lifetime. Our family Honghui, we see that everything is fine, and people think their children are good, and the emperor will have so many grandchildren, it may not be our turn to be the top one."
And even if the husband and wife choose a daughter-in-law, it is another matter whether the emperor agrees or not.
Thinking of this question, both of them couldn't help sighing, alas!
Tian Mi was also sighing, she was worried about her son's marriage just like the fourth elder brother and his wife.
Yang Dan is not young anymore, and his younger brothers have already married wives.He was the only one guarding a county palace, living alone.
After hearing this, Yang Dan couldn't help laughing, he is not alone, the slaves in a room take care of themselves, eat and drink as much as they want, and sleep until the sun rises when they want to, how hard life is be free and easy.
However, considering that Yang Dan has not yet become a filial piety, this topic can only be brought up again. Tian Mi's attention to those good girls is far from the point of implementation.
Regarding Yang Dan's marriage, Tian Mi also asked Kangxi insinuatingly behind his back, and Kangxi gave ambiguous answers. He was a little vacillating between looking for a noble Mongolian girl and a lady from everyone.
"You also know that Yang Dan is different from their brothers. Now that he is young and high-ranking, he has no other right and wrong. Relatively speaking, finding a wife is more his preference. Whoever he likes can be his wife. So far, this son has not enlightened, and I don’t know what he likes.”
After finishing speaking, Kangxi looked at Tian Mi and felt that this kind of question should be asked like a mother: "What do you talk to him every day? Don't ask about the key things, but ask about those side things every day."
Hearing this disgusting tone, Tian Mi also felt that she would not know how to do things, "Don't worry, I will be able to ask you in two days."
However, this child Yang Dan is a special ghost, no matter how Tian Mi asks, he won't answer, Tian Mi called Shi Shi over to find out the answer.
"You two brothers are together every day, and you know a little bit about what he thinks. Tell the queen mother, what kind of wife does he want to find?"
Eleven got stuck when asked, "Emperor Niang, you just answer if you want to ask other sons, I really don't know about this."I haven't talked about this when we are together, so I asked suddenly, I really don't know.
Seeing that his expression didn't look fake, Tian Mi came up with a very absurd idea.
Could it be that Yang Dan doesn't like women?
Tian Mi told herself that she must hold on, but don't yell out this conclusion lightly, otherwise she would be making a joke like Concubine Yi.
Tian Mi quietly called some of Yang Dan's eunuchs over to ask.These eunuchs are also very concerned about Yang Dan's emotional problems, but so far, they have not found any signs of bad, nor any signs of love between men and women.
Moreover, Yang Dan's life is very regular, and the time to get up in the morning is fixed. If there is something to do, he will get up at almost 4 o'clock in the morning.If you have nothing to do, you may sleep until noon.There is absolutely no second wake-up time.
I go to bed early at night, work when I have work during the day, and find a few brothers to play when I don’t have work.He and 11 got along well, and the two of them listened to an opera and drank tea together, and neither of them glanced at the woman a few times.
Speaking of this, the eunuch quietly provided a direction, "Maybe the prince is still young, or maybe the eleventh master has not shown any signs so far, so our prince doesn't think too much about it."
This statement is actually very euphemistic, and Tian Mi understands that they mean that none of the friends around are looking for a partner, so Yang Dan doesn't want to.If no one around him plays with him in the future, he will think about such things himself.
There are only eleven people around here, and eleven is not in good health, so Concubine Yi is very strict about this kind of thing.
But... But, aren't these kids more rebellious the stricter they are?
In the end, Tian Mi felt that it was better to ask the fourth elder brother to come forward and ask.
The fourth elder brother went to find Yang Dan after receiving the order. Unfortunately, there were other guests in Yang Dan's house.
Yang Dan's own elder brothers, Yarjiang A and Shisi, are both here.These two have just arrived, and they are sitting here grinding their teeth.
Yang Dan dryly talked with them in the living room, with a cup of tea in front of each of them, not even a handful of melon seeds.
Yaerjiang Azheng earnestly persuaded Yang Dan to go out and have fun with everyone, "You are usually fine at home, what are you doing? Everyone invited you out several times, and you always said that something was wrong. Now when I go out Everyone said to me, 'Your brother doesn't take everyone seriously'..."
Yang Dan couldn't help but wanted to roll his eyes, "What are you going out for? Going out to entertain opera singers and drink? Don't forget that it's not been three years since A Ma passed away, how can we go out and have a good time?"
Yarjan'a couldn't help shrinking his neck. He had gone out to drink with others a few times recently.Because there are too many people flattering him, he really floated up. It seems that he has to restrain his recent behavior, otherwise someone will shout everywhere.
"I did it as a last resort, but you have to listen to what my brother said. We are all a family, and it doesn't matter if they invite you out to climb high and look far away, drink tea and chat, you always have to come out to meet and socialize with everyone. Every day If you stay at home for a long time, you will get moldy."
Speaking of the arrival of the fourth elder brother here, Yaerjiang was very upset. He and the fourth elder brother were somewhat at odds. At this time, he dragged his voice and asked, "What wind brought the fourth elder brother here today? This is a distinguished guest. Usually rare."
The fourth elder brother didn't take Yaerjiang a seriously, and said directly to Yang Dan who was sitting on the main seat: "The emperor sent me to see if there is anything else that needs to be repaired here? It is confirmed that it will open next year." Chun directly sent people over to repair it."
Yarjan asked: "Why is it starting to be repaired again? This is a mansion that has just been built." Speaking of this, he quickly asked: "Did it not be done before? Now it is reworked?"
The fourth elder brother sat down next to him, "He will always marry a wife. At that time, the place where the female relatives live in the backyard must be repainted, and because there are no people in it for a long time, there may be some problems. Check it out first, don't check anything when Fujin enters the door, and when it rains, it rains heavily outside and light rain inside, then it will be messy and messy, and life will be a mess."
After finishing speaking, he flicked the dust on his clothes, "What are you two doing here? It's not easy to see you normally."
Fourteen stood up and replied, "Fourth Brother, let's invite Brother Yang Dan to go hunting with us. Tomorrow we will set up a game in the western suburbs hunting ground. A few friends brought some slaves, all of them are good players. Yang Dan My brother is also an excellent archer who can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps, we want him to go with us tomorrow to become stronger."
The fourth elder brother knew what was going on in his heart, now Shisi and those low-level generals in the army somehow colluded with each other.The so-called friends and servants are all these generals. If you want to say that these people have some skills, what they lack is their background and opportunities.
However, dealing with these people in the military must be careful and careful.The fourth elder brother looked at Yang Dan. Yang Dan didn't want to go, so he yawned, "I'm sorry, I can't go tomorrow, I have to watch in the mansion. If I don't explain to those little bastards, the Ministry of Internal Affairs Those little bastards must have done a rough job."
Fourteen couldn't believe it, the House of Internal Affairs was firmly controlled by the queen, and Yang Dan was raised by the queen. It was too late for the servants in the house to fawn on him, how could they be perfunctory to Yang Dan.
"Brother Yang Dan..."
"I really can't go to the fourteenth brother. Otherwise, you can find someone else."
Yaerjiang stood up, "If you don't want to go, don't go, my brother came to you to want you to get up and move around, don't stay at home all day. By the way, your nephew will be angry in half a month. Come back to our palace, they all miss you very much."
Yang Dan quickly agreed that this is a serious matter and cannot be dismissed.
After Yaerjiang and Fourteen left, the fourth elder brother frowned.
I know this brother Yang Dan too well. Seeing his frowning and hard face, he knew he was going to preach, "Don't worry, fourth brother, I won't get mixed up with them. I'm not a fool. They hunt and drink every day. I can't talk to them, and I'm also a filial person now, so it's impossible to go out to dinner and socialize with others."
The fourth elder brother's face brightened a little, "You remember what you said. Fourteen...how should I put it? It's not a thing in the pool."
The two brothers pretended to be confused while pretending to be ignorant, and Yang Dan's eyeliner was all over the country.Although there is no eyeliner in the army, but if you keep an eye on Shisi, you can understand everything clearly.
And he has to report to the emperor every few days.
The sticky place established by the fourth elder brother himself has eyeliners all over the capital, and it is easy for them to follow and listen to news.So the fourth elder brother also has a lot of news, and it is very timely.
Both are foxes who have been around for thousands of years. At this time, they both pretended to be little milk dogs. They both thought that the other party didn't know what they were doing, so the atmosphere between the two brothers was very friendly.
The fourth elder brother thought about his reason for coming, and holding a cup, he talked with Yang Dan for a while: from his own children to relatives' children.After talking about these children, I started talking about my childhood.
Just talking about these things made Yang Dan feel drowsy, but the fourth elder brother was also a talker, and he liked to talk very much. Yang Dan couldn't intervene, and he had to respond to others.
After a long time, Yang Dan wanted to leave here, looking around for an opportunity to escape.
After talking for a long time, I added five or six cups of tea, the fourth elder brother was over today's addiction, he stopped talking contentedly, and only said a more important word.
"What kind of girl do you want to find as Fujin, tell me first, so that Er Niang can find out more easily."
Yang Dan didn't care, "What kind of one can I find? Just make a living."
It seems that this requirement is very low, but it is very difficult to achieve this goal.
Fourth elder brother lowered his voice, "You have to think about it, think about it and talk to Er Niang, Er Niang suspects that you are a broken sleeve."
This sentence made Yang Dan jump up all of a sudden, "What did you say? What did Er Niang suspect me?"
The fourth elder brother drank the last sip of tea in the tea bowl, "You heard it right just now. So don't be perfunctory to Er Niang, tell her clearly what you want, don't you know what an old lady of this age does in the palace?" Nothing, do you like to think wildly when you are free?"
Yang Dan sat down indignantly, "I told Erniang that you were calling her an old lady behind her back."
"Go, go talk, Er Niang will definitely teach me, but you will have to be taught a lesson at that time. What are you thinking? If you can't make up your mind, brother will help you. I have a servant named Nian Geng Yao. You should know him. He has a younger sister who is said to be a talented woman. How about it? Do you like a talented woman who is full of poetic and literary spirit?"
"Who?"
"Nian Gengyao is a person with both civil and military skills. Their family is under the elder brother's sect. The girls in his family were also raised by gold and jade, and they have read a lot of books in their stomachs. They will not be like Guo Luoluo."
Yang Dan thought in his heart: How much does the fourth brother hate the eighth sister-in-law.
Although he does not have any serious errands in the court on the surface, he knows more or less about these officials.
"Nian Gengyao...is Rong Ruo's son-in-law?"
"It's him."
It's a pity that Nalan Rongruo has passed away for many years, and Yang Dan has never met this talented person.
"His father-in-law is so famous, and he also passed the imperial examination. Why is he serving in the army now?"
"It's just a chance meeting," the fourth elder brother didn't want to say too much, and there was also the meaning of the fourth elder brother. He wanted to get involved in the power in the army, but he couldn't intervene on the surface.You can only do some small movements behind your back, and the range of movements should not be large, so the old man must not find out.
Yang Dan nodded, "Although the Nian family has produced many high-ranking officials, my younger brother is not interested in their family." Here Yang Dan paused, thinking that it is necessary to inform the fourth elder brother in advance.
"Besides, Nian Gengyao, that servant, got along quite well with Fourteen recently."
The fourth elder brother immediately understood what it meant, and couldn't help but frowned again.He had already planned in his heart that when he went out later, he would have someone check Nian Gengyao immediately.
Yang Dan took a cup of tea and drank it slowly, "A while ago when Hongxi got married, Nian Gengyao sent a lot of gifts to our brother's house, and I also received a lot of filial piety from here. Quite rich."
This revealed another piece of news to the fourth elder brother, that is, their family has a large amount of money from unknown sources.
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother secretly made a note in his heart, "Everyone has some good things at home, and it's nothing to take them out and honor them."
Yang Dan saw that the fourth elder brother didn't want to continue talking, so he put the news aside, "It's as long as the fourth brother knows it well, by the way, what is the thirteenth brother doing recently?"
"Oh, he still has bad legs and feet, and he is raised at home. I don't know where to find out a folk remedy, saying that soaking wine with ants is effective for his legs. I found a lot of good wine for him, and the imperial doctor said after seeing it No, we must use those spirits, do you have any here, if you have any, send it to the imperial doctor to see."
"These must be strong wine. I have a jar here, which has not been opened. I drank it at Brother Wu's house before. It was very uncomfortable from the burning of my throat to my stomach. After that, I never dared to touch this kind of wine again. Well, since Shisan needs it, Brother Four will take it all away later, and I won’t drink it if it’s left at my place, it’s wasted.”
The fourth elder brother stood up, "Why don't you go together, I went to see him a few days ago, and he said that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much."
Yang Dan packed his things and went with the fourth elder brother. When he arrived at Shisan's house, he didn't expect that there was a fat baby in Shisan's arms who was the son of Shisan's side Fujin.
Although he knew that he had a son, Yang Dan also came to join in the fun when the full moon was over.But at that time, he didn't see the child with his own eyes, but now he saw the white and tender baby lying in Shisan's arms, which shocked Yang Dan very much.
Shisan hugged him first to greet the fourth elder brother, and then handed him to the fourth elder brother for him to have a look.
The fourth elder brother said that he would hold grandchildren but not children, but he still took this nephew into his arms and looked at it carefully, "This kid is blessed, look at how full his forehead is, how little ears and little ingots are Like."
Hearing what the fourth elder brother said, Yang Dan hurried over to have a look.
The fourth elder brother thought that Yang Dan should get married at this age, so he handed the child to him, "Hug him, let's see how good this child is. In a few years, you will be married, and you will be able to be an Ama."
Yang Dan took it over tremblingly, "Why do I think little things are not cute... Thirteenth brother, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that your son is not cute, I mean that all children in the world are not cute." .”
Thirteen smiled gently, "I know what brother means, but marrying a wife and having children is a necessary experience in life. I got used to it at the beginning, and once I got used to it, I felt that children are good everywhere."
Yang Dan wanted to speak again, when suddenly he felt his arms warm up, and a possibility popped up in Yang Dan's mind.
Then a stinky smell rushed into his nostrils, and Yang Dan stiffened all over while holding the child.
"Then what... Brothers, quickly call the servant, this kid seems to be dragged."
In Yang Dan's view, this is a very serious matter, but in the eyes of the two former fathers, it is a trivial matter. After all, it is so normal for children to poop after eating.
After the baby was taken away, Yang Dan's arms were covered with yellow poop, and a little bit was stained on the skirt of his chest.
This smell is really too stinky, smelling this smell, Yang Dan seems to faint.
Seeing his wrinkled face and pinching his nose, Shisan quickly asked someone to find out his new clothes, and then asked someone to boil Yang Dan's bath water.
Yang Dan, who was being dragged to change clothes, told the fourth elder brother before leaving, "You go back and tell Er Niang, just say that I am not married, children are too annoying."
