The news that Li Ruizhu was disfigured by his cousin and could not participate in the re-election quickly spread, and the news that Li Ruizhu actually chose to forgive was also spread.There are those like the Zhao family sisters who regret that iron cannot be made into steel, and there are also those who gloat and secretly rejoice.

For example, Uranara Wenyao.

As a time traveler, of course she knew who Li Ruizhu was.Concubine Qi of the future Emperor Yongzheng.Knowing that several concubines of Emperor Yongzheng were from the Han Army Banner, she even sneaked out to inquire about the news.She considers herself a beauty, but she still doesn't look good enough compared to Concubine Qi. Although she doesn't want to admit it, she has to say that she would also like a woman like Concubine Qi.

Wen Yao firmly believes in history, even if the imperial concubine is still alive and well, and the Wu Ya family is no longer a concubine, it has not shaken her heart.

In history, Emperor Yongzheng's love for Li Shi lasted for more than ten years, and it didn't get better until Xiaonian Gao entered the mansion. She didn't want such a person to compete with her for Yongzheng.

Unexpectedly, when she was still thinking about what method to use to get people down, it was reported that she was caught and made a fool of herself.

"What you said is true, her face was badly injured?" Wen Yao asked with a sullen face.

The little girl was trembling with fear, but she still reported the news dutifully. "The person who reported the letter said that they were bleeding. Even if this kind of injury is not serious, it will not heal the day after tomorrow. It will definitely be brushed off by then. Moreover, I heard that her cousin was clumsy and took the wrong medicine. It caused, caused The wound deepened."

The little girl's words became lower and lower, so the cousin seemed to be doing it on purpose, she didn't understand, why the lady from the official family couldn't understand things that a girl like herself could figure out.After being murdered time and time again, they still become friends with each other like a normal person.

She didn't understand, but Wen Yao figured it out.Isn't this the Madonna and heroine in the ancient novels?The heroine was framed in various ways, and then she and the hero went through thousands of sails and finally got together.

"I see, you go down, don't tell anyone about this." Even though she knew that the little girl was loyal to her, Wen Yao still emphasized.

"She asked you to inquire about Li Wenye's daughter? Who is this Li Wenye's daughter?" Rong An and Fu Chan looked at each other, wondering what this girl was doing.

Standing in front of them was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in his early 30s, who was also one of Wen Yao's only 'loyal' servants.He said: "Mrs., this Li Wenye is the magistrate of Jiangnan. The emperor once praised him when he first came to Jiangnan. As for how Da Gege met him, I don't know. I only know that this girl is innocent. He looks good, and Da Gege is very afraid of him."

The servant doesn't have much culture and can't describe Miss Li's appearance, so he can only use good as a substitute.As for the simplicity of temperament, he hehe twice, that is not ordinary simplicity.Fearing that the wife and the young master would not understand, he also told a few things he had encountered to prove it.

The corners of Rong An and Fu Chan's mouths twitched. Before, they thought they were stupid enough, but now they found out that there are people who are more stupid than themselves in this world.

Fu Chan frowned and thought, no grudges, no grievances, how could the good-natured Wen Yao be afraid of the other party, thinking about the status of the other party's beautiful girl, he hesitated and said: "Could it be that the imperial concubine intends to marry this girl to the fourth elder brother?" Isn't it because of the fourth elder brother, and only the fourth elder brother can make the other party like this?

Rong An followed his train of thought to think, and after a while, she said: "It's possible. In this way, tomorrow, your sister and I will pass the sign into the palace to meet the imperial concubine." I can only choose to pick up the big tree of the imperial concubine.It is her sincerity to report everything in detail.

The imperial concubine really likes Ruyi, so in order to let her enter the palace at any time, she gave her the badge of Jingren Palace.Rong An was the imperial concubine whom she saw while rubbing her daughter's waist badge.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" She took a fancy to Mrs. Li and wanted to point him out to the fourth elder brother. Where did this come from, it was really funny.The imperial concubine was not only puzzled, but Ulanara's family had no power in the palace, where did Wen Yao get such unreliable news.

I smiled and shook my head, "My palace and the emperor both know about the Li family, so I'm not afraid to tell you that I didn't like Mrs. Li, but the emperor thinks that Li Wenye is good, and wants to tell Mrs. Li to Yaerjiang's side." Fujin."

Ruyi opened her mouth in amazement, who spread the rumors, and said that Yaerjiang Ah's side Fujin belonged to the fourth elder brother? This, this is simply outrageous.

Rong An also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about another purpose of entering the palace today, she tentatively asked: "I don't know what the emperor means to Wen Yao, my lord?"

There is no proof, she can't touch the other party for the honor of the Ulanara family, and it's really disgusting to put people in front of her eyes. If the empress has no other plans, she will marry him away from a distance after the draft.

Speaking of this imperial concubine hesitated, she hesitated to speak.

Rong An's heart skipped a beat, and she forced herself to remain calm, "Your Majesty, you can speak up if you have something to say, this slave can hold on." The worst outcome would be Wen Yao marrying into the royal family.

With a sigh, Tong Jia finally said, "Do you still remember Mr. Wu Ya?"

Noble Uya?Isn't it the concubine De who was inexplicably demoted before, what does this have to do with her?

"Wen Yao didn't make friends with the nobleman Wu Ya before, the emperor meant to betroth her to Bo Yong of Wu Ya's family as his wife." Even though Bo Yong had a sister who was a nobleman in the palace and a first-class lady-in-law's sister, said After all, he is still a coat, and his children can only be born as a coat.Even though she was only a concubine to marry Bao Yi's daughter, the dignified nine-door admiral's daughter, she was a little hard to say.

After the conversation started, it would be easier to say more later, she said: "What the emperor means is that the Wu Ya clan took a fancy to Wen Yao at the beginning. Since it is Wu Ya clan's last wish, he will naturally fulfill it."

"Last wish?" Rong An unconsciously raised his voice, and then quickly apologized when he realized something was wrong, "Your Majesty, forgive me, this servant was just too surprised."

Signaling the mother to help him up, the imperial concubine said: "There is nothing to be surprised about. You are not an outsider. It doesn't matter if you say it to you. Wu Ya's body has not been well nursed after giving birth to children, and she has always had a bad head. It's even worse after elder brother, she sometimes has hallucinations, thinking that other people are bad people who snatched her son. No, once she went crazy and hurt the emperor. The emperor demoted her to a nobleman in a fit of anger."

"The emperor has been taking care of her for the past two years. Unfortunately, Wu Ya's fortune has not improved. Recently, her condition has become more and more serious. The emperor thought that she was an old man who had been with her for many years. Make her wish come true."

The truth is naturally not what she said, no one knows better than her why Wu Yashi was demoted.What she said was also the meaning of the emperor. The emperor was concerned about Fourteen and the princesses, and didn't want people to point fingers behind their backs, so he asked her to make up such a story.

In addition, according to the emperor's intention, he also wanted to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and giving Boyong a marriage would undoubtedly dispel the doubts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and let them relax their vigilance.

Since it is a marriage gift, the woman's family background cannot be low.She also asked someone about Boyong's child. She was proud of her young age and there were countless houses in the house, and she didn't want to harm a girl from a good family, so she thought of Wen Yao.

Just before that, Wu Yashi often summoned Wen Yao, and it would be best to describe it as Wu Yashi's last wish.

Rong An was skeptical, but she didn't get to the bottom of it. The imperial concubine brought the emperor out, and the marriage was a certainty.Wen Yao is not her own, she might be reluctant in the past, but now that she knows what the other party has done, she can't wait for him to die immediately.Isn't it just marrying Baoyi, Wu Ya's family is not ordinary Baoyi, thinking about it like this is even cheaper for her.

She knelt down and kowtowed to the imperial concubine, "I thank the imperial concubine on Wenyao's behalf."

The imperial concubine waved her hand, "The emperor means that this matter should not be announced beforehand, and he will personally make an order after the palace selection." Wen Yao looked at it as not a safe person, so she just used her to see what kind of ghosts and snakes these beautiful girls are. .

After taking the reassurance pill, Rong'an wanted to go back, Ruyi took the imperial concubine's arm and acted coquettishly, "Emiang, is there anyone for the fourth brother, Fujin, please tell your daughter."

Rong An's heart was pounding in fright, she wanted to scold her daughter, but she was afraid of causing trouble to her daughter.

What the imperial concubine enjoys most is her children acting like a spoiled child. She smiled and said, "Let go, my mother is going to fall apart if you shake like this, how can I tell you?"

Ruyi let go of her hands in embarrassment, and stuck out her tongue.

Fu Er whispered the candidate in Ruyi's ear, and successfully saw Ruyi's surprised eyes.It never occurred to her that she would be a girl from the Han Army Banner.But looking at the appearance of the imperial concubine, it is clear that she is very satisfied with this girl.

When I left the palace, I met the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother who came to the harem, and they saluted. The fourth elder brother said: "Ruyi is here to see Emiang, why don't you stay a little longer? It just so happens that someone from the second elder brother offered a deer. If you wish, you might as well stay and have dinner together."

The fourth elder brother likes to eat roasted deer tendon the most. After the prince found out, he told the people below to pay attention. If someone offered a deer, they would send it to the fourth elder brother.

Today, the deer is not small, so brother ten clamored to eat meat hot pot.He and the sixth elder brother came here just to talk to Er Niang, and by the way, give half of the venison to the women in the harem.Their elder brother ate well in front, so they can't let the girls watch.The deer comes with a seasoned soup base.

Ruyi subconsciously went to see Rong An, Rong An smiled and said, "You child, look how much the fourth elder brother loves you, why don't you hurry up and agree." How many Royal Lords Belle are there?She is not considered a favorite in her natal family, and what she can bring to her daughter is really limited. It is only good for her daughter to have more contact with the imperial concubine.Although she was a little bit reluctant, she urged her for the sake of her daughter.

Yin Zuo was a little impatient, "It's so troublesome, you just have to stay with Madam, and there are not many people anyway." A deer looks big, and it's actually not much to share.Those who are eligible to be divided are also the empresses of the elder brother, the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine, the third concubine Hui Yirong, the concubine An, the seventh elder brother, and the eighth elder brother's empress Dai Jiashu and Wei Shufei.

This is what it means, one more Rong'an and one less Rong'an doesn't make much difference.

Yinzhen came back to his senses, he smiled and said: "Madam, don't mind, the sixth brother has this temper, but what he said is not unreasonable. With our relationship, I think my mother will be very happy if Madam stays for dinner."

Under Ruyi's expectant eyes, Rong An finally stayed.The female relatives set up two tables in Jingren Palace, and the fourth elder brother waited for the emperor's elder brother and the emperor to eat in Qianqing Palace.

Don't "enjoy" eating hot pot in May, everyone is sweating profusely.Elder Brother Shi sighed, "It would be great if I could eat a cup of ice." He ate a lot, and he grew strong, and he was the fattest among all the elder brothers.Because he was fat, he himself was more afraid of heat. The three ice basins in Qianqing Palace were not enough, so he pulled Liang Jiugong to put another one at his feet.

The sixth elder brother and the fourth elder brother looked at each other, the fourth elder brother waved to Su Peisheng, and Su Peisheng bowed away.

The tenth elder brother asked curiously: "Fourth brother, sixth brother, what kind of charades are you playing?" Everyone was still whispering in their ears.

Yinzhen smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out later, it's guaranteed to be a surprise."

No matter how he asked, the fourth elder brother just didn't say anything, and the mouths of the two of them were as tight as if they were sewn together with a needle. The tenth elder brother had no choice but to continue to eat with his head down.He vented his frustration on eating.

The hot pot base is because of the mandarin duck pot provided, one side is spicy soup and the other is clear soup base made from big bones.Big brother and tenth brother like to eat spicy soup, but fourth brother can't eat spicy food, so he always eats clear soup.

In addition to the hot pot base, he also provided some fungi. These things were also given by the Azure Stars, so it is easy to lie.He never took out those that were difficult to explain the source of, except for occasionally eating a little by himself, and piled them up in the warehouse.

He doesn't know how big the warehouse in the live broadcast room is. The time inside seems to be static, and it won't break for a long time.

When Su Peisheng came back with the basket, they had almost eaten, and motioned to Su Peisheng to put the food on the table, and a chill came over them.

The tenth elder brother yelled: "Fourth brother, don't you bring your ration? I just said, I really want to eat it." He was a little embarrassed, how many rations did the emperor have? I don't know, I don't have enough for myself, so how dare I eat the fourth brother's.

Yinzhen laughed but said nothing, he opened the box with his own hands, the inside was indeed ice as the ten elder brother said, but it was already cut ice cubes.A lot of ice cubes have melted along the way from my elder brother's place, and half of the bowl has turned into water.He took out a bowl and put it in front of Brother Ten, "Ten brother, try it?"

He glanced suspiciously at the fourth elder brother, and then saw that the sixth elder brother had broken a bowl and started to drink. He took it and took a sip. "Huh? It's actually sweet." He secretly ate the ice issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it didn't have this taste. "I said Su Peisheng, could it be you who put sugar in it?" Can sugar be so evenly sweetened on ice cubes?

Yinzhen didn't answer, he took out the ice bowls from the box one by one, "Huang Ama, elder brother, second elder brother, you should try it too."

The prince didn't say anything, he took a sip after taking it, "No, I smell a scent of flowers." Although it was very faint, he still smelled it.This fragrance enters the stomach along with the coldness, which is really refreshing.

Everyone has a different feeling when drinking, some are roses, some are chrysanthemums, and some are sugar like the ten princes.

Kangxi put down the ice bowl in his hand and said, "Sir, stop playing charades and tell me how you did it." If you don't bother to turn around, he will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a special part for summer.

The fourth elder brother is not trying to tell the truth, "It's all due to the sixth brother. My son is afraid of the heat, so he consumes a lot of ice every summer to cool down the heat. However, the internal affairs office has limited ice storage, and it is difficult to buy ice after using up our own quota." So the sixth brother went to look through the books to see if there are other ways to make ice."

The hard work paid off, and in the end, the sixth elder brother really found it, that is saltpeter to make ice.

Saltpeter ice making first appeared in the Tang Dynasty.Put saltpeter in water and it absorbs heat to form ice, which is non-toxic and edible.

It's easy to say, Dai Zi has a lot of saltpeter, they asked Dai Zi for some, and after repeated research, they finally found out the complete ratio.Compared with the need to store ice to make ice in winter, making ice with saltpeter is much simpler. As long as there is enough saltpeter, you can use as much ice as you want.

As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Brother Nine said, "Fourth brother, what do you mean, as long as there is saltpeter, we can make ice directly in Jiangnan and other places without relying on transportation?" The temperature in Jiangnan is not low in winter. Ice is more difficult, and in many cases it needs to be transported from the north, but the hot weather during the transportation has greatly reduced the number of ice in the south of the Yangtze River.

If this method is feasible, they can use local materials to save the two processes of transportation and storage, which is to save countless money.

The abacus in Yinzhen's heart was crackling, and his eyes were full of stars, as if he saw countless silver beckoning to him.

Yinzuo looked at him vigilantly, "Ninth brother, I researched this with fourth brother, you can't take credit for it." If you say the credit is also fourth brother's, it happens that fourth brother is about to refer to marriage, and this credit adds to his body , it's best to let Huang Ama seal a Baylor or something before he gets married.

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes, "Look at what Brother Six said, I, Yinzhen, are this kind of person." He turned his head and said to Kangxi, "Huang Ama, let's do it before the hottest day arrives." , there are many rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, they will enjoy it and surely earn a lot of money."

After the fourth brother talked about it once, he understood it. It's a pity not to use such a simple thing to make money.

Kangxi frowned, how could this old nine get involved in making money so easily, did he lose money?

Yinzhen also followed suit: "Huang Ama, I feel that what the ninth brother said makes sense. Recently, I and my second brother sorted out the household department and found that the treasury is not abundant. Making ice with saltpeter can also increase the fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Jiangnan Wouldn’t they still be crying poor over there? Wouldn’t it be a good proof if they spent a lot of money on ice to cool off the heat.”

Jiangnan is the key to the fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty. From their consumption, we can see how their lives are, and we can also know whether they have expired or not.

Ninth elder brother grinned to the back of his ears, and the fourth brother helped him speak, he knew that as long as the fourth brother spoke, the matter would be half done.

The national treasury can be said to be Kangxi's Achilles' heel, and the fourth elder brother mentioned the national treasury, and Kangxi was shamefully moved.However, he has some scruples. It is so easy to learn how to make ice with saltpeter. If someone learns it...
