Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

In fact, the Weaving Mansion Yamen in Yangzhou is not as bad as what Cao Yin said. Just like Kangxi said, how can a mansion that has been built for less than ten years be dilapidated?

If there are any shortcomings, it is that the place is a bit small, and the decoration is a bit monotonous. It looks a bit like a rich family, and it is not like a place that can receive holy cars.

Mrs. Sun followed behind Tian Mi tremblingly. Tian Mi looked around these houses and nodded, "It was cleaned very well."

Moreover, this house has also been lived in, and it has some popularity, unlike some places where it is obvious that no one has lived in it at all.Even if the inside is smoked with a carbon basin, you can still smell a dusty smell and feel a dampness.

After Tian Mi nodded, the maids hurriedly carried the things in. Tian Mi felt that she had become squeamish now. She had to bring her own quilt, bed sheets and pillows, and she was not used to those prepared in other places. The clothes had to be brought in and hung up. Well, usually my rouge powder is also packed in a specific box.

So I can move this pile of things by myself for a while.

Tian Mi asked Mrs. Sun to lead her around the garden. The garden was not big, but some nice flowers and plants were planted, probably in her own home. Mrs. Sun was not as petty as before.

Pointing to the goldfish raised in the pond at home, saying that these fish are stupid, even if you bring a net to catch them, these fish will not escape.

For the first dinner here, a court lady came to ask whether to eat the taste of the capital or the taste of Jiangnan?

Tian Mi quickly integrated into this big environment, feeling more comfortable than living in Chengqian Palace.

In the evening, Kangxi and the ministers returned to the backyard after drinking. Seeing that Tian Mi had finished packing, he couldn't help asking.

"How is the Sun family serving? Is there any inconvenience?"

"If there is any inconvenience, people are trembling, lest they are not thoughtful. Today's dinner is prepared with special care. I saw that there are some delicacies from mountains and seas. There is a plate of sauced duck, which is very good. I heard that you still have to go to Jinling to eat duck. go."

"That's right, after what you said, I feel a little hungry. Ask them if they have anything else to eat? Bring some. I only drank outside just now, and I didn't eat a few bites of food."

After the food was served, Tian Mi looked at the exquisite presentation and couldn't help but want to eat more.

"I don't know why, I always feel like I'm not full recently. Bring chopsticks, I'll taste what it tastes like."

Kangxi couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, "You're obviously greedy, it sounds so sweet. You can eat more, you usually eat like cat food. The old cat in your palace is much bigger than cat food." You eat a lot."

Tian Mi needs to maintain her figure, and she can feel that the older she gets, the slower her metabolism will be, so if she eats a lot and digests slowly, she will easily accumulate fat.In addition, even if I do everything myself, I don't have much exercise.If you run around the East Sixth Palace in the morning, people will think that you are also bewitched.

"Let me taste the taste first, drink some lotus leaf tea after the taste, we two will go around the garden in a while, people say that after a meal, you can live to 99 by walking a hundred steps."

Kangxi nodded. After sitting on the boat for such a long time, he still felt swaying on the ground. He also sat and talked to the ministers for a long time. He also wanted to exercise his muscles.

Seeing a fish soup being served, he poured a small bowl for Tian Mi himself, "This is Mrs. Song's fish soup, have you had it just now, can you have some more?"

Tian Mi took the bowl and couldn't help but think of the allusion to this bowl of fish soup. After drinking it, she shook her head, "It is said that this dish became a famous dish in the Southern Song Dynasty, and that the fifth wife of Song Dynasty who made this fish soup at that time was Bian People from Beijing came to Lin’an with the southward migration of the Song Dynasty. I don’t think this should be true. I don’t know how people in the Song Dynasty made fish soup, but the dish I ate tastes like the local fish soup in Kaifeng Prefecture. It's very different."

"Thousands of years have passed in the past. Who would go back to the origin? A soup is delicious if you think it tastes good, and it's fine if you think it's not good. A dish can't stop your mouth."

Tian Mi couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and Kangxi relaxed and scooped up a clear fish ball with a spoon and put it on the small plate in front of Tian Mi, "Seeing that you are not convinced, let's talk about it, The Kaifeng mansion you mentioned, after several floods of the Yellow River, there are very few local people anymore. Either they were buried by sand, or they fled to other places, and only [-]% or [-]% of the population is left. Now Kaifeng mansion Most of the population in the territory moved from Shanxi. A large number of people in Hongtong County moved to Shandong and Henan during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. You can ask now, and those who still remember where their ancestors were born can talk to you It’s ugly to say the least. So you can’t say whether this fish soup is authentic or not.”

Speaking of this, Kangxi's heart moved a little. Didn't the first emperor also come to the capital from outside the pass?How is this different from some Qianding back then?The descendants grew up in the capital, and when they returned to their hometown in Shengjing, all of them could not stand the cold.One side supports the other side, and the youngsters in the family do not love the taste of Shengjing.

Speaking of this, I couldn't help asking: "Where are those brats? Send them to eat and sleep?"

"It's full, but I haven't slept yet. Lao Jiu just ran over to me for money, saying that you will be busy with yours and I will be busy with mine. No one cares about their little things. He There is no need for us to worry, I will go to the street to buy earthenware for the people in my family."

Kangxi couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, "As long as you don't cause trouble for me, it's fine. These guys are smart because they are smart, but they are smart and useless. They thought they were here just for fun, and they didn't read or write. Can you play happily for a few months? They are beautiful! Don’t worry about it later, let’s find a chance to call them over and see if they have studied recently. If they are caught, they will inevitably be beaten up.”

"If you say that, I will report to you later. I can't just watch them get beaten."

"I just said that these little things are smart. Don't worry, they can read books and have fun."

Talking in private, Kangxi couldn't help complaining about Lao Ba to his cousin, "Let me tell you, it's not like they haven't done things that want both. Dongxi turned to practice some bow horses, so that now the bow horses are not very good, and his handwriting can't be seen by people."

"The child is still young, and those famous calligraphers are not hard-working. Tell me that as long as we encourage him properly, he will definitely become a master when he is 50 or [-] years old."

"There are some things that can't be gained through hard work and hard work. I have to say that to a certain extent, it is talent. Look at the same brother, is the old seven better at fighting than their older brothers? Talent is here. It's on."

Tian Mi didn't believe his statement, "It is said that sincerity and sincerity are the foundation of gold and stone, how many people can become a generation of masters by studying hard and practicing hard. For example, Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty, in terms of writing articles, how many of them are good? How much does it depend on talent and hard work? When Ouyang Xiu was young, he lost his father and lived in his uncle's house. Although he was taught by his uncle at that time, his uncle's family was poor and it was extremely difficult to get ahead, but he still insisted. Came down, generous and glorious to the end."

Kangxi shook his head, "Cousin still doesn't understand what I mean. Study hard...Let's not talk about Ouyang Xiu, let's talk about Fan Zhongyan. When Fan Zhongyan was young, he ate porridge. The son of a local official heard about his deeds. I was moved and gave him the food. He took the food and put it aside and did not eat it. He still eats porridge every day. What kind of ambition is this?! Not only is he ambitious but also able to resist the temptation and understand what he wants What do you want. It’s not that I’m going to bury them, go and see the children in our family, not only the old eight, but none of them can’t resist the temptation, and they don’t know what they want.”

This is where Kangxi was dissatisfied with these sons, "What Mencius said is good. When the heavens will send great tasks to people, they must first work hard. The children in our family are too rich. "

After finishing speaking, maybe because this topic made him unhappy, he put the chopsticks aside and didn't plan to eat any more.Seeing that he didn't eat much, Tian Mi thought that he was full of wine just now, so she quickly picked some vegetables for him and urged him to eat.

After eating here, the lights outside were ready, Tian Mi took a lantern from the hand of the maid, and walked slowly in the garden with him personally.

Just now when they decided to take a walk after dinner, in order to avoid disturbing the master, the garden had been emptied of people.

Hangzhou Weaving Mansion is just an official residence. Although this official residence covers a larger area, the garden in the mansion is not large.

There are maids or eunuchs guarding the corridors and roadsides, and everyone holds a lamp in their hands.Apart from the exquisite lamps, there is nothing else. Walking in such a garden with the evening breeze, both of them felt a lot easier.

"As the old saying goes, since ancient times, the big boys are worthless, and the younger ones should be taken care of in the future. I just want to make them suffer a little bit. I think that when the time comes, I will ask them to compete. Ask their brother to be stricter."

Tian Mi couldn't help turning her head to look at him after hearing this, "120 times is quite a lot, you want them to recite 160 times? You coughed up blood when you read in the early years!"

"Aren't I all right?"

"Cousin, give them more time to ride horses and shoot arrows. Not all children can sit still. If they look like little old men one by one in the future, what's the fun of being parents?"

"You're right. Our ancestors were all people who could fight on horseback. When it comes to this group of boys, let alone mount a horse to fight. If they ride a horse for a long time, they will complain to the sky. We must let them learn what is written in the book, and let them fight. You can't fall into the prestige of your ancestors. In the future, these two things must be stricter..."

Tian Mi sighed in her heart, Yang Dan, it's Er Niang who is useless, Er Niang can't keep you anymore.

After returning from the garden, while washing, Herring quietly came to report to Tian Mi.

"My maidservant had a few words with the members of the Sun family today. I heard from them that the Li family has prepared a beautiful woman to present to the emperor. Madam, should we take action sooner?"

"What action to take? Every time I come to Jiangnan, I can meet beautiful women every time."

"This one is different. I heard that this one is a relative of the Li family."

Tian Mi already understood what Qingyu emphasized, she looked down on Li Xu in her heart, and didn't know what was wrong with these people, they could send girls related to her family to the palace or various palaces every time, what was she trying to do? !

"Don't worry about it so much, let's talk about it later."

Tian Mi was in a bad mood, Qing Yu told the maids serving here to be careful.Tian Mi went to check on Yang Dan first, and came back when she saw that she was already asleep.

The next day Kangxi continued to go out to work, and Tian Mi drank tea and watched a play with the noble ladies from Yangzhou whom he had known before.There are quite a few noble ladies from the Eight Banners here. After seeing Tian Mi, they may have heard the local accent in a foreign country, and they felt very friendly and acted very close.

Some people don't listen to the opera in this kind of theater, and they just look for opportunities to talk to Tian Mi.Yang Dan felt that it was boring. When sitting with these women, these women came to praise him, and some even touched his little hands and twisted his little face, which made him very irritable.

Tian Mi also knew that he would not sit here for long, so she asked the eunuch to take him out to play, and told him not to go near the water and not to touch those cats and dogs.After getting the permission, Yang Dan ran out and happened to meet the nine elder brothers and the ten elder brothers going out.

The two brothers didn't want to talk to Yang Dan at first, but when they saw Yang Dan squatting in the corner and blowing his cheeks to a small tree, they couldn't help asking the little eunuch standing next to him.

"What's going on here? Why did he come here alone."

"The little elder brother ran out because he was alone and had no one to play with. He ran into this tree just now, and said that he hurt the tree and squatted here to give the little tree a blow."

Brother Jiu couldn't help but despise this little thing in his heart for being brainless, people are people and trees are trees, if you hit it, it won't hurt except you hurt it.

At first I wanted to turn my head and leave, but thinking that Yangdan and Shiyi were very similar in age, I couldn't help walking over and kicking his ass. "It's not here, brother will take you out to play."

"Brother Nine, there are too many people outside, it's too troublesome for us to bring up a child, if something happens, we won't be able to explain it to the imperial concubine."

"It's okay, let's Yang Dan be good." After finishing speaking, he squatted down and looked at Yang Dan, "Are you good? If you are good, I will take you out. If you are not good, I will not take you out."

"Is it fun?"

"It must be fun," Lao Jiu couldn't help showing off to Lao Ten after he finished speaking, "I'm telling you, such a big kid is already sensible, but he just pretends to be incomprehensible, as long as we are not used to Just follow him."

Anyway, I'm going out to buy things, so there's nothing Elder Ten can't do.

These little eunuchs sent one person to report to Tian Mi, and the others followed their brothers with Yang Dan in their arms, changed into coarse clothes and went out together.

Because Yang Dan wears clothes of relatively plain colors recently, he doesn't make eye contact after being carried out.In addition, he was as fat as a small butcher, and several eunuchs took turns hugging and following the old nine and ten. As soon as he stepped out of the street, Yang Dan was attracted by the pedestrians on the street.

For the first time, he saw so many people, and so many people were disobedient, walking around bustling on the street.The sound of hawking and applauding came to my ears, and the Jiangnan minor tune was soft and waxy, dragging the tune and yelling words that he didn't understand.

There were still many food and utility vendors on the street, and many jugglers. Yang Dan felt that his eyes were not enough, so he hugged the eunuch's neck and looked left and right.

Lao Jiu couldn't help laughing: "Look at your worthless appearance, wipe off your drool quickly, if people know that Brother Yangdan is drooling on the streets, they will make fun of you a lot year."

Yang Dan could really understand what others were saying, so he quickly lay on the little eunuch's shoulder and wiped his mouth.Lao Jiu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, "Don't you know how to use your own sleeve? You wipe it on someone's shoulder, do you know how long that area on his shoulder hasn't been washed? This kid is so lazy, Lazy, stupid, dirty and greedy..."

Yang Dan was not happy anymore. He said he could bear it before, but he couldn't bear it when he said him later, "You are lazy, you are stupid, you are dirty, you are greedy, you are bad, you are ugly, you are a dog..."

"Did the tenth hear it? Did you hear it? This is exactly the same as the fourth one. It's unreasonable!"

"Let's be fair, Brother Ninth, you're a bit unreasonable and ungrateful when you argue with a child."

"Who are you with?"

"What do you have to worry about with children?"

The three of them bickered all the way, and after a short walk, they saw a small stall on the street selling wood carvings.Old Eleven saw a wooden carving of a snake, which was just like a real snake.

The tenth old man is not too old, and he still has a youthful heart, "Brother Jiu, look at this snake, buy it to play tricks on others."

The two brothers squatted down, and Yang Dan wanted to watch it together, but his eunuch didn't want him to go, coaxing him not to look, because there were some things in it that were too scary, and he was afraid that he would sleep at night because of his young age. no.

Three of Yangdan's four eunuchs surrounded him, and one of them hugged him and patted his back.Yaerjiang, who was passing by on a tall horse, saw his younger brother at a glance. Since he met him here, he naturally wanted to come over and ask. He jumped off the horse and squeezed over by himself, pulling the horse's reins.

"Why are you here? Brother came out alone?"

Yang Dan also remembered that his brother was this one, so he stretched out his arms to let his brother hug him.Yaerjiang quickly hugged his younger brother in his arms, and the eunuch replied in a low voice, pointing to the two brothers squatting on the stage who were choosing.

There were many people outside, so Yaerjiang did not talk to the old nine and ten, but just greeted them both and told them to take their brother away.

Meeting such a good opportunity, of course the two of them had to get close. General Yaerjiang walked around with his younger brother in his arms, and held his younger brother in his arms while riding a horse.Riding on horseback, Yang Dan could see most of the small stalls on the street, and couldn't help pointing at one or the other with his chubby fingers. The laughter of the two brothers spread from one end of the street to the other end of the street.

Just when the two of them were watching the stall owner blowing sugar figures in front of a sugar figure stand, they didn't know that they had already fallen into the eyes of some people.

This group of people followed him quietly, trying to take Yang Dan away without paying attention.But whether it was Yangdan or Yaerjiang'a, they brought a large number of people with them.When two people are in one place, two people and horses also form a group.When the sun set, the follower hadn't succeeded, but he showed his whereabouts under impatience, but was noticed by his followers.

People from Prince Jian's Mansion stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother, there are people following us just now. They have followed us since the slaves noticed, and it has been half an hour now. I am afraid these people are not kind."

"Can you guys detect who the other party is? Are you trying to steal something or grab something?"

When it comes to patting Hanako, hurry up and hug your brother tightly, and look down at his chubby appearance, with red lips and tender face, and delicate and soft when acting like a baby. It's really killing me.

The people who followed separated out and dispersed quietly. Yaerjiang Ah didn't dare to wander outside, and hurried back with his brother in his arms.

Before he reached Zhizao Mansion, he was blocked in an alley by official sedan chairs in a small path outside the door, so he had no choice but to dismount with his brother in his arms and walk to Zhizao Mansion.

After walking a few steps, I realized that this little thing was really too heavy to hold. The little soft ball didn't look heavy, but after holding it in my arms for a while, my arms were shaking sorely.

"Let's discuss it, brothers, can you come down and walk?"

"No, my mother said, my legs are weak, so I won't walk much."

"Do you think brother believes it? You are just lazy, I can tell..."

"Yarjiang, what a shame to yell at your younger brother on the street!"

Yabu was standing not far from them, talking to several officials.Hearing his son's voice and scolding his head and face, Yaerjiang, the elder brother, didn't dare to speak, and stood obediently aside with his younger brother in his arms.

These officials quickly resigned knowingly and wisely, leaving behind the three of them, father and son.Yabu coughed a few times, stretched out his hand and touched Yangdan's head, "Why did you take off your brother's hat when it's still cold?"

"It was too hot just now." Yaerjiang turned his head to ask the servant to take his brother's hat, and turned his head to see that his servant and horse were behind him, and Yabu also noticed it. "Didn't you say that you have to go shopping today? Why is it so Are you back early?"

"On the road, I met a few Xiaoxiaos who followed our brothers. My son was not afraid at first, but my brother was young and worried that he would accidentally hurt my brother by attacking, so I thought about sending him back first."

Yabu nodded, "Go ahead, send your brother in, and come back after watching your brother come to your mother."

Yabu watched the eldest son leave with the second son in his arms, and wondered who was following his two sons?

If it is on the ground in the north, it may be that the son is generous and riding a good horse to attract people's attention.On the border of the south of the Yangtze River, riding a good horse and wearing silk is nothing.It's a little strange to be targeted at this time, and Yabu's errands are probably related to the Jiangnan rebels, so he has to take this matter to heart at this time.

Yabu immediately called his confidant over and asked him to investigate slowly.

After all, the emperor's holy car is here, so be careful in everything.

He didn't receive any news when he was having dinner in the evening, and Yabu could still eat with his eldest son leisurely, and finally received the news after the meal was over.The people sent by Yaerjiang were found, one was seriously injured and died, and the others were all killed and still in a remote place.

Yangzhou is no longer safe, and the Secretary of General Administration didn't notice it. Not only that, officials at all levels in Jiangnan didn't get wind of it. In addition, the prince went out for a walk in the past two days. Yabu was so shocked that he was in a cold sweat. I asked to see Kangxi.

After Kangxi heard about it, he put away his relaxed heart in an instant.The first order issued was to strictly forbid the princes to go out to play.Immediately afterwards, the two discussed for half the night. Although it was dangerous, Kangxi decided to continue the southern tour.

Just after Yabu left, the report from the Secretary of General Affairs was placed on Kangxi's desk.Kangxi had been busy all night, and only after dawn did he come to Tian Mi's side and fell asleep.

This matter is too serious. Before going to sleep, he couldn't help telling Tian Mi, "...Although this is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair, it is not safe anymore. If those noble ladies from the south of the Yangtze River come to visit you again, keep a distance from them and don't let them get along with you." You are too close, watch the children, don't let the children go out. Keep the door closed, and those messy people must not come in."

Tian Mi agreed and went out quietly after watching him fall asleep.

"Mother?" Herring called nervously, and Tian Mi waved her hands, "Don't worry, our place is the safest, there are layers of guards outside, and they don't just eat."

Tian Mi has seen the so-called Ouchi guards and first-class masters. These people can't jump over the palace wall, and they don't have the so-called ability to fly over the wall.The only thing that can be done is to do something with the food or other entrance things.

"You let people keep an eye on the dining room and the place where the water is used, and tell them that all the tableware in the future, no matter who uses it, put it in the pot and boil it for a quarter of an hour before taking it out. Those salted vegetables and rice grains, these You must find out the source of everything. Don't let those things of unknown origin mix in, if there are any consequences, maybe someone really landed."

After ordering from here, Tian Mi thought that the poisons at this time were all natural toxins, and the most important ones were also arsenic compounds. Most of the poisons could be detected. If the people are under control, and they are not allowed to catch loopholes or be lazy, then most of the diets are fine.

I was relieved, but my heart was still not easy.

The nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers who were able to go out to play casually yesterday were detained in a square inch, feeling very unhappy in their hearts, and inevitably had to swear in Zhizao Mansion.

Because it has not yet been found out whether the murderer was Jiang Yang's bandit or the rebellious officials and thieves who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, so this matter has not been made public.

The outside world and the princes were unaware of the others, and the officials and local gentry waiting to be interviewed were still lined up outside beaming.

After nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers were depressed for a long time, they heard that people from their respective Erniang families came to visit. The two of them knew that it was not their fault, and they could not take their anger out on them, so they were kind Went out to meet people.

After a long time, the two younger brothers did not come back, so the eighth elder brother couldn't help asking a few more questions, "Why hasn't the old nine and ten come back yet? Send someone to ask, and don't let the two of them sneak out."

The two brothers can definitely do this kind of thing. Huang Ama said that they can't be allowed to go out and run around. If the two of them really can't bear to be lonely, there are also times when they go out to play. You have to find out in Huang Ama Call them both back earlier.

After the eunuchs went out to inquire, they found out that there were more people from the Niu Hulu family, and they only received the news after a year that the imperial concubine had passed away, so it was inevitable that they would cry with them when they came.I also heard that Elder Brother Ten is going to do a few Buddhist rituals in the south of the Yangtze River. There is no need for Elder Brother Ten to show up. They can find famous monks and temples to do water and land ashrams for dozens of days.

This is doing something for Er Niang, brother ten will inevitably ask more questions.And there is a lot of knowledge in it, so I didn't take time when I talked about it.

After hearing the whereabouts of the ninth and tenth elder brothers, the eighth elder brother was relieved and at the same time thinking about how to build a good relationship with these dignitaries.

Just at this time, Li Xu came.

Not only did Li Xu come, Cao Yin, Sun Wencheng and the others were all in Zhizao Mansion, but Jian Wang Yabu was a little late because of Cao Yin's news, and Kangxi had already scolded him at this time.

As the main person in charge, Cao Yin was scolded the most. After the scolding, Cao Yin was left behind. Sun Wencheng wiped the cold sweat off his brow and went to arrange the meal for Sheng Jia. Li Xu looked around and thought he was fine. Come to see Eighth Prince.

Just after saying a few words, Eighth Brother asked: "I don't know when our brothers will be able to go out? We went to Jiangnan for a show, and we can't just watch nothing, and we will be laughed at by our brothers when we go back. They will ask in the future." The fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March, what did the three younger brothers see in Yangzhou? At that time, our brothers can only say that they saw the wall of Zhizao Mansion."

Li Xu had just been scolded and was very nervous. At this time, he relaxed, and because the eighth elder brother Tianhuang was so amiable, and because the atmosphere was so good at this time, he began to say, "It should be soon. Tianwei is in Hangzhou, these rebels dare not mess around."

"Rebel?"

"The thief... the little thief, it's a thief, the slave is wrong." Li Xu regretted it, he didn't mean it, his face distorted for a moment, and then he returned to his smiling appearance.

The eighth elder brother also laughed in unison, but he knew in his heart that Li Xu knew the inside story, and Li Xu definitely had a source of information.

Soon the old nine and ten came back, and the eighth elder brother asked: "Why did you come back? By the way, what is it that prevents us from going out? Have you heard any news?"

Brother Jiu took a sip of water and shook his head indifferently, "I didn't hear any news. Didn't the starlings hear that someone was eyeing Yang Dan yesterday? I didn't say that Yaerjiang was too ostentatious yesterday. If he hadn't hugged his younger brother to show off everywhere, would someone have taken a fancy to Yang Dan and wanted to abduct him? I don't even think about how hard our imperial concubine and concubine have gone to make this child white and fat, and count on Huang Ama to praise her How hard is it that ordinary children can compare?"

Old Ten shook his head, "Ninth Brother, what you said is a bit mean."

"I'm just talking about it. Although I don't get along with the fourth child, I really respect the imperial concubine. When I was young, I even went to eat and drink with her."

The eighth elder brother asked again: "Has Cao Lisun stayed here all the time?"

Brother Nine nodded, "I don't know what Cao Yin did, but I heard that he was scolded by Huang Ama. We saw him just now, and his face was really ugly."

"Why were you scolded?"

The old ten thought for a while, "It should be Sun Wencheng's inability to pick up the driver. I didn't say that this place is really shabby. Huang Ama should be angry."

Brother Ba shook his head, "No, if you were angry, you should have been angry yesterday, not this morning."

"Besides this, I can't think of any other reason. The relationship between Cao Yin and Huang Ama is no worse than that of brothers. I didn't say that our uncle doesn't have such face in front of Huang Ama. If he If you do something wrong, Huang Ama will scold you with staring eyes."

After Lao Jiu finished speaking, Lao Shi nodded, and the two began to discuss how many times the unlucky Chang Ning was scolded last year?

The eighth elder brother looked outside and squinted his eyes.

After Li Xu came out from the eighth elder brother, he quickly went to find Cao Yin. Although Cao Yin was scolded, Kangxi also assigned him a task. He wanted to execute it after he came out, but was stopped by Li Xu up.

"What does the emperor say?"

"It's not an example."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, Cao Yin was still thinking about the errand, "Brother, you can stay here and take your errand, brother, let's go first."

"Wait," Li Xu was confused, "Shouldn't the prince know what we're doing?"

"Don't talk about the prince, how many of the lords know about it? Why do you ask this question?"

"Nothing? It's just... I'm just worried that if those young masters get into a fight in a few days and block us, how should we explain it? You and I are fine. I'm worried about the overly honest Mr. Sun. I'm worried that he will There's another bald mouth...you go first, I'll talk to him later, and tell him."

Cao Yin thought he was really thinking about Sun Wencheng, so he didn't leave in a hurry.

Li Xu quickly came to find Sun Wencheng, who was sitting in the room, holding a hookah in his hand and taking a few puffs.

Li Xu was dissatisfied, everyone is so busy and you are still hiding here. "You are the older of the three of us, and you are an elder brother anyway. We are so busy that we don't touch the ground, but you are hiding here to relax."

"You didn't see me when I was busy. Where was my leisure? I haven't slept well since yesterday, and I took a few puffs of cigarettes to refresh myself. Didn't I just sit down here? When you didn't come, there were a lot of people crowded here. I now I wish the emperor would go to Jiangning as soon as possible, although he is honored, but he is indeed roasted on the brazier."

"It's too much to say, our wealth comes from the emperor." Li Xu said with awe-inspiring righteousness, "We should serve the country loyally and respect our master. Now you and I are much better than others, so we can't do it at this time." If you want to be lazy, you have to think about how to do things."

Sun Wencheng turned his head to look at Li Xu, then silently lowered his head and took a few puffs of cigarettes. He smoked so fast that he coughed a few times due to choking, and threw the hookah in his hand aside.

His son ran in from the outside and quickly patted him on the back a few times. Sun Wencheng shook his hand, "Don't worry about me, I'm smoking too fast, you hurry up and go about your business, you and I, Uncle Li I have something to say."

Sun Wencheng's youngest son bowed to them and withdrew.Sun Wencheng was full of words and didn't know how to open his mouth, so he went straight. "We are relatives of sons and daughters, and our ancestors have been dating for so many years. They can be regarded as family friends. Now I say a word, don't dislike me for talking too much. Just now I heard that you went to visit the prince? This is a bit inappropriate."

Although Li Xu was a little younger than Sun Wencheng, he was no less arrogant than others, and Sun Wencheng had been under him for so many years. He couldn't compare to Cao Yin, but he could definitely compare to Sun Wencheng.Hearing Sun Wencheng's words, I felt a little unhappy. Everyone is a fifth-rank official and a slave. Why are you preaching here.

"Hey, old in-laws, you misunderstood me. I just stopped by to visit Eighth Prince and sat there for a while. Although foreign ministers are not allowed to make friends with princes, this is just for others to hear. Look at it. Which of the officials in the south of the Yangtze River doesn't have a master? I just want to look good, hello me, hello everyone, I don't do as much as you think."

Sun Wencheng believed his statement, "Since that's the case, then I won't talk too much."

Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief, he always felt that he revealed some key things to the eighth elder brother today, but he didn't mean it, and the other party was young, so he probably couldn't understand the key points... Maybe.

I came to Sun Wencheng to find Sun Wencheng to comfort myself, but I can't say these words now.

Moreover, what the two said just now was a little bit angry. For the sake of the future relationship between the two families, both of them took the initiative to say a few soft words.

Because Shengjia is here and may look for them at any time, these two people dare not eat or drink here.After Li Xu left from Sun Wencheng's place, a eunuch told the news to Eighth Prince.

Brother Eight nodded.

Three days later, Kangxi was going to Jiangning, and the brigade sent out to Jiangning, beating and beating all the way.Kangxi told Tian Mi in the car, "Jiangnan has become more peaceful these days, so don't worry about it."
