[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes
Chapter 110
Yinyou is a little prince raised in the palace, if he didn't happen to meet or someone specifically mentioned it to him, how would he know what happened in the court.
However, the matter of Mingzhu made too much noise.Not to mention the harem, the whole capital has already spread the rumors.
How the people outside the palace discussed this matter, Yinyou didn't know, and had no way of knowing.
But he is aware of the gossip in the palace.
First of all, Concubine Hui, she is getting old, she has already lost the favor of the emperor, and the power of her relatives that she can rely on is the pearl.
Just as Suo'etu fully supported the prince, Mingzhu also fully supported the elder brother.
After the elder brother got married, he was highly valued by the emperor, and concubine Hui also felt proud in the harem. Yanxi Palace, a palace forgotten by the emperor, has many concubines coming in and out these days, it is very lively.
Concubine Hui was very windy after a while.
But the glorious days hadn't lasted long, and a huge blow came suddenly.
Concubine Hui couldn't imagine that her son had just become an adult and was enshrined, and before he had time to make a difference in the court, the biggest backer would be gone if he said nothing.
How difficult is her elder brother's situation in the future.
The Yanxi Palace, which used to be lively in the past, suddenly no one cares about it.The people who were still flattering not long ago started talking behind her back and even laughed at her.
A few days ago, Concubine Hui liked to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden in the clear autumn, but now she doesn't go there, she locks herself in the main hall of Yanxi Palace all day long, and doesn't leave the gate.
Even the few concubines living in her palace lived cautiously and did not dare to touch her bad luck.
Although this is a matter of the previous dynasty, and the emperor ordered that the harem be prohibited from intervening in politics.But throughout the dynasties, the former dynasty and the harem are inextricably linked and inseparable.
Yinyou doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, the person he cares about is Rong Ruo.
Mingzhu was dismissed as prime minister and ransacked the house. The emperor just stretched out a finger and twisted it, and the huge Mingzhu mansion collapsed.
Naturally, the confiscated family property was filled into the Emperor's House of Internal Affairs. As soon as Cao Langzhong from the Accounting Department arrived at the Yamen early in the morning, someone told him that there are many good things in the family after the Ming Dynasty has been in power for so many years.There are two libraries in the house alone, with countless calligraphy and paintings by famous masters, and rare books of Tang and Song Dynasties.
When Cao Yin heard this, he had a bad feeling, and sure enough, the other party added it and said: "The emperor sent an oral order this morning, please go to Mingzhu Mansion to supervise the records in person."
"..."
Although Cao Yin also despised Mingzhu for what he did, he was the only one who knew that Kangxi was going to attack Mingzhu, except for Gao Shiqi.During the Chinese New Year, Kangxi came to his house and specifically mentioned this matter to him, asking him not to reveal a word in front of Nalan.
But after all, he and Nalan have been in love for so many years, and their relationship is closer than that of their respective brothers.That's good, what's the matter with asking him to take someone to raid the brother's house?
When Cao Yin walked into Mingzhu Mansion, he happened to meet Nalan coming out in official uniform.The two looked at each other without embarrassment, and there was a helpless smile on Nalan's face.
Cao Yin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
It was Nalan who raised his hand and patted his shoulder when he passed by him.
Cao Yin asked: "Are you going to enter the palace?"
Nalan nodded: "Today I have to give lectures to Brother Seven."
Cao Yin nodded: "Brother Cheng..."
"Lixuan." Nalan interrupted him, "The female relatives are all in the backyard, including my mother-in-law, wife and daughter..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Yin nodded clearly: "Don't worry, I won't disturb them."
Nalan nodded and left without saying anything.
Cao Yin turned his head and watched Nalan's figure bypass Zhaobi and walk out of the gate of Mingzhu Mansion.
Naturally, the soldiers would not spare every corner when they searched the property, especially places like Mingzhu Mansion.In addition to searching for treasures for the emperor, I also want to take the opportunity to get some.
When Cao Yin found out, a group of soldiers had already entered the backyard.He hurriedly put down what he was doing and rushed over, and was about to yell at those people to go out, but saw an unexpected scene.
The female relatives huddled together in the room, shivering.In the middle of the main room sat Nalan's mother, Aixinjueluoshi, the daughter of Prince Azig of England.
The princess is a real golden branch and jade leaf, and the emperor will call her aunt when she sees her.Her father's confinement until his death didn't affect her status.Her daughter-in-law and a group of underage grandchildren are surrounded by her, as if she is the only support of the whole family.
However, it was not the old lady who made a kind of soldier hesitate.It was a girl standing in front of the door.
She just stood at the door alone, without even a personal servant girl, raised her chin slightly, and confronted the soldiers in the courtyard fearlessly.
Cao Yin even felt that it was too early to call her a girl. She looked only about ten years old, and her appearance was immature, just a child.Take a closer look, her eyebrows and eyes are at least seven or eight points similar to Nalan's.
At this time, Cao Yin thought inappropriately: If Brother Cheng was a girl, he would probably look like this.
Little Gege rolled his eyes and saw Cao Yin in court uniform, knowing that he was the leader.Staring at him, he suddenly took out a short knife from his sleeve, threw the scabbard on the ground, and said loudly, "I see who of you dares to take a step forward."
The old lady yelled something inside, but Cao Yin couldn't hear it clearly, it must be Xiao Gege's baby name.
But Little Grid still stood there motionless.Cao Yin felt that she was more like a descendant of Jin Taiji than her Ama. Nalan must have never imagined that it was his ten-year-old daughter who stood up to protect a family of old, young, women and children in the end.
Cao Yin bent down and picked up the scabbard from the ground, it was studded with precious stones, more like an ornament than a sharp weapon.
He approached Little Gege, and handed back the scabbard to him: "Don't be afraid, I'm your Ama's friend."
Afterwards, he led the little girl into the house and saluted the old lady: "Cao Yin has met the princess."
There is more than one princess here. Mingzhu's third son, Nalan Kuifang, married Prince Kang's daughter, and she is also a serious princess with a title.
When the old lady heard Cao Yin's name, her expression softened a lot: "I heard... I heard Brother Cheng mentioned you. You are working together in the palace, and you have a deep relationship."
Where did she hear Nalan mention Cao Yin, she clearly heard that Cao Yin was one of the many names mentioned by Mingzhu when she scolded her son.It's just that Cao Yin was Luan Yiwei next to Kangxi at that time, and she was different from those Han people, so she paid attention.
After all, it was the backyard where the women's relatives gathered, and Cao Yin couldn't stay long, so he said hello and took the people out, and he didn't forget to close the courtyard door for them before leaving.
As soon as Nalan walked into the study, Yinyou rushed over and hugged him tightly: "Rong Ruo!"
"Well," Nalan looked down at him, with a gentle smile on his face, and gently patted his head: "What's wrong?"
Yinyou raised his head, his eyes were wide open, filled with concern: "Are you okay?"
He has grown up and grown taller, he is a young boy who can fight Nalan dozens of times.
Nalan hadn't hugged him for a long time, seeing the little guy so clingy today, he simply bent down and lifted him up.Carry him to the desk and let him sit on the table.
"I'm fine."
Yinyou blinked, a little disbelieving: "Really?"
Nalan nodded: "Really, how could I lie to you?"
Yinyou didn't know if he lied to himself or not. Mingzhu's dismissal even affected Concubine Hui and elder brother a lot. How could Rong Ruo be good as his son?
Nalan sighed, not only was there no sadness in his sigh, but a sense of relief: "Actually, I had a very strong premonition a few days ago."
Yinyou said: "I can see it."
"I knew a long time ago that there would be such a day sooner or later. I disagreed with him for a day or two. For a long time in the past, I didn't even want to go home, let alone participate in his clique-forming activities."
"But I am her son after all. In that family, I still have a mother, wife and children."
Yinyou thought of the woman who appeared repeatedly in his poems—his first wife Lu Shi.
But he knew that the wife Rong Ruo was talking about was not the deceased Lu Shi, but the wife Ming Zhu remarried for him after Lu Shi passed away.
Rong Ruo had no feelings for this wife at the beginning, and this step-wife was just a victim of a political marriage.
But after Rong Ruo suffered a serious illness, he also figured out a lot of things, and no longer entangled in the people and things in the past.
Although still disapproving of Mingzhu's way of being an official, the relationship between father and son is not so tense.
Although there is no deep affection for his step-wife, he also has an extra responsibility.
"I have known that such a day will come, and I have already prepared myself." Nalan lowered his head and smiled helplessly, "I even think that this is what should be done. Since I, Ama, chose to do that at the beginning, I also You should have expected the result today. It’s just dismissal and house raids, and it can be regarded as... the emperor’s favor."
Nalan's narrative was calm from beginning to end, as if he was telling someone else's story.
Yinyou took his hand: "Do you really think so?"
Nalan smiled and said, "Of course it is true."
"Anyway..." the little guy bit his lip, "I said before, I will protect you and not let others bully you, and neither can I, Ama, so don't worry."
The smile on Nalan's face became deeper and deeper: "The emperor didn't bully me, so don't worry."
Not only did the emperor not bully him, he even promoted him.
Although Mingzhu was dismissed from the position of Minister of State and Cabinet, but Kangxi handed him over to the bodyguard and kept him as appropriate.
Soon after, Nalan Chengde, the eldest son of Mingzhu, was promoted to a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Rites by the minister of the Imperial Academy, and Nalan Kuixu, the second son of the Pearl, was promoted to a bachelor of the academy and minister of the Ministry of war.
The Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the court even discussed this in private. The emperor is worthy of being a young emperor, and he is the one who has really played the art of controlling people to the extreme.
When Mingzhu was in power, his three sons, the youngest son who was the most promising, married Prince Kang's daughter and had the title of Heshuo's son-in-law.
Not long after Ming Zhu was dismissed from office, the eldest son and the second son were successively promoted from second-rank ministers, and they were both highly valued by the emperor.
Rong Ruo was promoted, but Yin You was not very happy.The prince's masters were selected from the Imperial Academy. Now that Nalan has entered the cabinet and also served as the Minister of Rites, he is much more busy than at the Imperial Academy. There is no time to give him lectures.
A few days ago, he was talking about protecting Rong Ruo and preventing others from bullying his little guy, but today he is uncharacteristically.
As soon as Nalan walked into the study, he saw Brother Qi turning his head to the other side with an unhappy expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" Nalan walked up to him, "Who messed with you again?"
"Hmph!" The little guy pursed his lips, and an oil bottle could be hung on it, "I was worried that you would feel sad because of Master Mingzhu's affairs, but I don't know that you are going to be a high official now."
Nalan smiled helplessly: "It's not that I want to be a high official, it's the emperor who asked me to go."
"He told you to go and you go, it's not because he wants to be a high-ranking official."
Nalan frowned, showing an aggrieved expression: "This is the emperor's imperial decree, and if you resist the decree, you will be beheaded."
Yinyou suddenly reached out and pinched his face: "You look so good-looking, I, Ama, am reluctant to kill your head."
"That said, it seems like I'm useless except for being good-looking."
"..."
The little guy didn't speak, but turned to look out the window.
Nalan coaxed him patiently: "Why are you so angry?"
The little guy said pitifully: "You will not be able to teach me in the future, but someone else will be my teacher."
Nalan suddenly realized that Brother Seven was worried about this.
He was not in a hurry to explain, but continued to ask: "Is Brother Seven reluctant to part with me?"
Hearing this, Yinyou thought his guess was true.His eyes immediately turned red, and he raised his hand to touch it: "No!"
Nalan asked him, "Really not?"
"No." Yinyou shook his head, tears were already falling, "I remember you said before that this is your ideal, and now it has finally come true."
After all, he was just a child of seven or eight years old.Has never been as mature as his brother.Rich in emotion, the eye sockets are still shallow, just like when I was a child, I would cry every now and then.
Nalan took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears for him: "I realize my dream, and I can continue to teach you. This is not a conflict."
Yinyou took the veil and touched it on his face indiscriminately: "Really?"
"real!"
In the afternoon, when the two were practicing swords in the yard, the new servant of the Ministry of Rites was so embarrassed that he was forced to retreat repeatedly by the fierce sword moves of the seventh elder brother.As the Seven Star Sword in the opponent's hand flicked and swung, he only felt a shock in his wrist, and the tip of the sword had pierced his chest, and stopped a few inches away from his chest.
Looking down, the branch in his hand had been broken in two and fell to the ground.
Sitting at the stone table under the tree, Mr. Fu nodded while sipping tea: "Yes, it seems that you have already practiced this set of swordsmanship to the point of proficiency, and it's time to learn the next one."
"No way!" Yinyou put away the sword, a mediocre scumbag, and suddenly became strict with himself, "Let Rong Ruo change to a sword, and I will be considered a good learner if I can beat him."
Mr. Fu nodded in satisfaction: "That's right!"
So, the eunuch went to the house to get a sword again.
Nalan used to practice sword with him in order not to hurt him, so he always used tree branches.It was replaced by a real sword in his hand, which was quite restrained.
This set of swordsmanship, Yinyou has long been familiar with each move and style, and can change as he wants in actual combat.
From the beginning of the competition, he entered the palace very aggressively, and the aura he displayed was not like a child at all.
Nalan was still thinking about the scene of him crying in the morning, and when he received the move, he was timid and embarrassed.
But he is the imperial bodyguard after all, if he really lost to a seven or eight year old child, he would have to be laughed to death by Cao Ziqing.
So Nalan settled down and concentrated on the challenge.
Yinyou used too much force in the front, but then it seemed that he lacked stamina.
But he is smart, good at observing and analyzing the situation, and reacts quickly.For a while, Nalan couldn't do anything about him.
The two fought for a long time, but it was hard to tell who was the best. The little guy was so tired that he was out of breath. When he looked up, the stone table was empty, but Mr. Fu didn't know where he was.
He immediately put away his sword and shouted: "My master is gone."
Nalan looked back, also a little strange: "Where are people?"
The little eunuch on the side bowed and replied: "Mr. Fu said he was sleepy, so he went back to his room and took a nap."
"..."
On this day, the imperial concubine sent someone to invite the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother to return to Chengqian Palace for dinner in the evening.He said that he made some delicious food with the flour and rice they grew, and asked them to go back and taste it.
The fourth elder brother was reading in the yard, and Yinyou sat beside him to accompany him.
Brother's books here, apart from Buddhist scriptures, are related to farming, river engineering, bridge construction and road construction. Yinyou is not interested, so he might as well lie on the table and sleep.
The fourth elder brother knocked on the table: "Don't sleep, the weather is turning cold, be careful of catching a cold."
Yinyou stood up: "Then I'll go back to Chengqian Palace to see what delicious food Eniang has made."
The fourth elder brother nodded helplessly: "Go."
Yinyou entered Dongtongzi through the corner gate, and when he passed the gate next to Jingren Palace, he took a look in and seemed to see his elder brother standing at the gate of Yanxi Palace on the other side.
A bunch of eunuchs stood at the gate of the palace, but no one said anything, they just stood quietly with him.
Yinyou looked at it for a while, but didn't know what happened.
When he was about to go over to have a closer look, he was stopped by Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng whispered in his ear: "Little master, go back."
Yinyou bit his lower lip: "But my elder brother is still standing there, he doesn't look very happy."
As soon as Yinyou took a step, Zhao Cheng immediately stopped him from going: "Master, the imperial concubine is still waiting, let's go back quickly."
Speaking of the imperial concubine, Yinyou remembered what Eniang said to cook delicious food.As soon as he thought of delicious food, the little guy immediately left his big brother behind, turned and left.
There are many things that can be made from flour. The imperial concubine has two sons, one likes to eat salty ones, and the other likes to eat sweet ones, and they have to make two flavors to make desserts.
Shrimp dumplings were steaming in the steamer, and some biscuits were baked in the oven, sprinkled with chopped raisins.
The little guy ate a piece and complained to Er Niang: "There are too few raisins, don't cut them in the future, it will be delicious if you sprinkle a whole one on top."
The imperial concubine freed her hands to pinch his little face: "You know how to eat!"
Immediately, two white finger prints were left on the little guy's face, and his hands were covered with ashes.
He asked the maid at the side to fetch water to wash his hands, ran to the chopping board and kneaded the dough as well.
While kneading, he chatted with the imperial concubine: "When I came, I saw elder brother standing at the gate of Yanxi Palace."
The imperial concubine naturally thought of Mingzhu's affairs, and said without raising her head: "He should go back and see Emiang."
The little guy said again: "He doesn't seem very happy."
"He may not be happy recently."
The little guy asked, "Why?"
"Because..." The imperial concubine thought for a while, then changed her words, "But it's not necessarily true, I think he might be happy in two days."
When talking, Yinyou's hands were not idle.After a while, the imperial concubine turned her head, and saw a row of abstract-looking little people on the chopping board.
"This... what is this?"
Yinyou introduced them one by one: "The one with flowers on your head is you, and the one who is sitting is Ukumama. She is too old to stand all the time. There is also this one who is shorter, this is my brother."
The imperial concubine pointed to the person standing beside him: "Who is this?"
Yinyou replied: "This is Ama."
The imperial concubine was puzzled: "Why is this Ama, what are the characteristics?"
Yinyou asked him to take a closer look, and the villain's face was covered with deep and shallow marks.
So, this is Amma.
The imperial concubine held her forehead dumbfounded, not knowing whether to praise him for his meticulous observation, or to warn him that some things should not be said in front of Ama.
Yinyou gave her a serious look: "Don't laugh! My Ama is very handsome."
"Okay, okay, don't laugh." The imperial concubine tried her best to hold back, but she couldn't hold back, "This is a son filter, I understand."
"If my Ama wasn't handsome, would there be so many empresses vying to give him a son?"
"..."
The imperial concubine quickly changed the subject and asked, "Why aren't you here?"
"I didn't pinch."
"Why not pinch?"
"Because..." the little guy was very distressed, "Your dough is not as white as mine, and you can't make it look as good as me."
"!!!"
The dumplings are steamed, all the cookies have been tested, and there are some other snacks, both sweet and salty.
Yinyou took a plate, packed some of each item, piled it up into a high hill, picked it up and walked out.
The imperial concubine asked him: "Where is this going?"
"Give it to my elder brother, isn't he unhappy? I make him happy."
In the little guy's heart, there is no big trouble that can't be solved by a bite of dim sum. If so, then eat a few more bites.
When Yinyou came to the entrance of Yanxi Palace with snacks, the elder brother had changed from standing to kneeling at the entrance of Yanxi Palace.
"Big brother, big brother!"
The elder brother looked up at him, didn't speak, and looked straight into the palace gate.
Yinyou asked the eunuch next to him: "Did brother make any mistakes?"
The eunuch shook his head, not daring to say anything.
Yinyou said with emotion: "My eldest brother has already moved out of the palace, and if he made a mistake, he would be punished to kneel down. It's really pitiful."
The elder brother raised his head and looked at him again, wanting to say something, but he still didn't say anything.
The little guy said again: "How could Concubine Hui be like this, what did the elder brother do wrong, wouldn't it be fine if he was beaten? Why did he make him kneel for so long."
The elder brother finally couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand: "Stay aside."
Yinyou picked a biscuit from the plate and handed it to elder brother's mouth: "Looking at you, Concubine Hui won't let you have dinner. Come, take a bite to pad your stomach."
"..."
Eldest Brother took another look inside, the gate of the main hall of Yanxi Palace was still closed, and his mother had no intention of announcing him into the house.
So, he simply lifted his robe and stood up, pulling Yinyou to sit on the steps.
"You..." Yinyou opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Didn't you make a mistake and are being punished to kneel?"
"I didn't make a mistake." The elder brother picked a snack from the plate and threw it into his mouth, "It's just that she was angry and blamed me."
Concubine Hui didn't turn her anger on him, she was just angry at herself. After so many years, she finally had some hope, and something happened to Mingzhu again.
She didn't want to see her son, but felt that seeing her son would only make her sadder, but it would be better if she didn't see her.
"Then you can come back tomorrow."
The big brother ate another snack: "You think I'm still like you underage little brothers, coming whenever I want."
Yinyou said: "It's getting dark, even if you kneel all night, Concubine Hui won't let you in."
The elder brother glanced at the sky and sighed: "You are right, I should leave the palace."
He stood up and walked out, Yinyou also followed him, suddenly said: "Rong Ruo is now a cabinet bachelor and minister of rites, but he said that he will continue to be my teacher in the future."
Eldest brother perfunctory him absent-mindedly: "Oh, then congratulations."
Yinyou suddenly took a step forward and pulled his hand: "Oh! Don't think about it, since you haven't done anything wrong, why do you think so much? Come, have another bite."
The elder brother pondered for a long time and didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Nalan Chengde, until he reached the gate of the palace, he suddenly realized that although the emperor dismissed Mingzhu and ransacked his family, he promoted his two sons.
Since the emperor's father treated Mingzhu's son like this, naturally this matter would not implicate his elder brother.
Entering September, the ninth elder brother is also six years old. Together with the tenth elder brother, he came to the study room to go to school.
For the two children, the homework in the study room is indeed a bit heavy, so they have to get up early to study, and it is really difficult to get up at first.
The ninth elder brother couldn't get up at all, and the tenth elder brother was anxiously waiting outside the gate of his courtyard, but he didn't see him coming out. When he entered the room, he was still lying on the bed.
"Ninth brother, it's almost two o'clock, why haven't you got up yet?"
Brother Jiu pulled the quilt over his head: "No, no, no, I want to sleep."
"..."
The princes discovered that Brother Jiu is simply an upgraded version of Yinyou.Although Yinyou is naughty, he is good at studying. He can recite books and answer questions asked by his master.
But the ninth brother is different, he is not inferior to Yinyou when he is mischievous, but his academic performance is really worse than that of the fifth elder brother.
And Elder Brother Ten has a gentle temperament since he was a child. Although he is the son of a noble concubine, he has no opinions.
The culture class is okay, and it is not particularly difficult to memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic", with a master from the school.
The most troublesome thing is the math class. This class was newly added to the princes by Kangxi following the advice of the third elder brother.
Even the older brothers haven't learned much yet, and they need the tutoring of the third brother after class, not to mention the two little guys who just came to the study, neither of them can understand addition and subtraction within ten.
The eighth elder brother patiently helped them with counseling: "Five plus three, ninth brother, you can break your fingers, five fingers, plus three fingers."
"Eight?"
Brother Ba smiled and said, "Yes, so five plus three equals eight. Next, how much is seven plus six?"
Ninth Brother hit his head with the tip of the brush, and by the way, eighth Brother's ink was thrown off his body.The eighth elder brother was not angry, but just sat back to his seat silently.
Brother Jiu suddenly shouted impatiently: "Mynah, I don't have enough fingers."
The sixth elder brother in front couldn't bear it anymore: "Then you can add your toes."
Brother Nine made a face at him, then turned to pull Yinyou: "Brother Seven, tell me."
Yinyou nodded and said yes with a smile: "Think about it, you have seven pieces of mung bean cake, Brother Qi will give you another six pieces, how many pieces do you have in total?"
Brother Jiu stretched out his hand to him: "Bring it here."
"what?"
"Mung bean cake."
"..."
Yinyou said patiently: "I think...or else...don't study."
Brother Jiu threw away his pen: "I think Brother Seven is right, anyway, I don't want to learn anymore."
Brother Ten poked Brother Nine from behind: "Brother Nine, this is not good, that foreign master..."
Baotai reminded him: "Although he is a Westerner, his surname is An, and he is Master An."
Elder Brother Shi nodded obediently: "Master An said that he will have an inspection tomorrow."
The fifth elder brother came over and taught his younger brother: "Look at your seventh elder brother. He is in class, talks, sleeps and deserts, but he doesn't delay in reading and practicing calligraphy. You can look at you again."
Yinyou quickly waved his hand: "No, no, it's different."
Brother Jiu asked him: "What's the difference?"
Yinyou patted his younger brother's head lovingly: "Your seventh brother is smart, you are different, you are a fool."
When the people next to him heard this, they all couldn't help lying on the table and laughing.
Unable to lose face, Brother Jiu slapped the table and stood up: "Brother Seven, you are swearing!"
Yinyou slapped the table louder: "What's wrong with scolding you, I still want to beat you up."
"..."
After what happened last time, Brother Nine was somewhat afraid of Brother Seven.Yinyou said he was going to beat him, but he was scared.Sit obediently in your seat and continue to do the questions.
He stopped making noise, sat down obediently, and Yinyou explained to him seriously.In fact, Brother Jiu is not stupid. Give him a little guidance, and he will be able to make it very quickly, and he can draw inferences from one instance.
In addition to the questions An Duo left for them, Yinyou gave some extra questions to his younger brother, and Brother Jiu also made them very quickly.
The real headache is Elder Brother Ten.
The real headache is Elder Brother Ten.
If Brother Nine is learning the Five Elements because of being mischievous, then Brother Ten really reacts half a beat slower than others.
Yinyou, Yinhu, and Baotai surrounded him, thinking of various methods, and the three of them were about to quarrel with each other.The tenth elder brother was not in a hurry, but advised them: "Seventh brother, mynah, Baotai brother, stop arguing."
Yinyou pinched his face: "We're not arguing, you hurry up, Ama should be here in a while."
Later, Baotai and Eighth Brother also had to do their own homework, and had no time to waste here.They gave up one after another, and before leaving, they advised Elder Brother Ten: "Brother Ten, don't worry, take your time."
The two left in a hurry, Yinyou glanced at their backs with great resentment, and sighed.
The tenth elder brother saw that the eighth elder brother and Baotai left, he lost his patience, bit his lip, and put the pen on the clip: "Seventh elder brother, I don't want to learn anymore. Don't waste your time, you hurry up Go study."
Yinyou smiled and touched his head: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up."
After speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave.Halfway through the walk, I suddenly remembered that several years ago, on the second day after he was born, because the condition was not very good, the imperial concubine would go to Chuxiu Palace every day to check on his condition.
Yinyou also clamored to go with Eniang.The younger brother is so cute, such a small one, lying in the cradle, still smiling at him.
In a blink of an eye, the tenth brother has grown up so much, and he has become a naughty brat who can only follow behind the ninth brother.
However, compared with the ninth brother, the tenth brother is not too bad, so it can be saved.
Yinyou turned around again, only to see Elder Brother Ten who was about to stand up and rush towards Elder Nine who was beside him.
Yinyou fell back again, pressed him on his shoulder, and pushed him back into the chair: "I thought about it, although you can give up, but Ama will not let you go. He will hit your palm, I spank your ass and make you stand and copy books, so I ask you if you are afraid?"
There is no child who is not afraid of being beaten. Elder Brother Shi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he slapped him on the waist: "Brother Seven, save me!"
His voice attracted the eyes of all the older brothers in front of him.Yinyou hugged him: "Write quickly, write quickly."
Later, Brother Nine and Brother Ten discovered that Brother Seven was not a good person.In class, he was the one who spoke the most.Said the story he saw from the tree, Sun Wukong beat the bone spirit three times.
The Bone Essence turned into a young girl, so beautiful, and how Tang Seng fell for her.
"Sun Wukong has piercing eyes, so powerful, he can tell at a glance that the girl is transformed from a monster, and let her be revealed with a stick!"
Even the master An was attracted by his vivid narration. The oriental mythology is very different from their Nordic and Greek mythology. A monkey can become their hero.
Ando wasn't that out of tune either. He still remembered that his mission was to teach the princes mathematics.
"Ahem..." Master An coughed twice, reminding Yinyou that the voice was too loud, "Brother Qi, get up and answer this question."
Yinyou raised his head and saw a blank piece of paper hanging in the front, on which Master An wrote and drew, and demonstrated examples for the princes.
"B is equal to 1. Master An, you made a mistake in the step in the third row from the bottom. You wrote B as ji."
"Hahahahahaha!" The princes roared with laughter. Just now, everyone was immersed in the solution of this equation and couldn't help themselves. No one noticed this small mistake.
Master An is a foreigner, and the writing of Chinese characters is not so standardized. It is good that everyone can understand it, and no one cares so much.
Only Xiaoqi, he can always drive out things that everyone didn't expect.
Yinyou turned back and continued: "Later, the Bone Demon transformed into the appearance of the old lady..."
This class is really impossible.
After going out for three months, Suo'etu came back.
However, things didn't work out.
The reason is very simple, he and Tong Guogang disagreed during the negotiation process, and quarreled!
And when he came back, he brought Kangxi even more shocking news!
However, the matter of Mingzhu made too much noise.Not to mention the harem, the whole capital has already spread the rumors.
How the people outside the palace discussed this matter, Yinyou didn't know, and had no way of knowing.
But he is aware of the gossip in the palace.
First of all, Concubine Hui, she is getting old, she has already lost the favor of the emperor, and the power of her relatives that she can rely on is the pearl.
Just as Suo'etu fully supported the prince, Mingzhu also fully supported the elder brother.
After the elder brother got married, he was highly valued by the emperor, and concubine Hui also felt proud in the harem. Yanxi Palace, a palace forgotten by the emperor, has many concubines coming in and out these days, it is very lively.
Concubine Hui was very windy after a while.
But the glorious days hadn't lasted long, and a huge blow came suddenly.
Concubine Hui couldn't imagine that her son had just become an adult and was enshrined, and before he had time to make a difference in the court, the biggest backer would be gone if he said nothing.
How difficult is her elder brother's situation in the future.
The Yanxi Palace, which used to be lively in the past, suddenly no one cares about it.The people who were still flattering not long ago started talking behind her back and even laughed at her.
A few days ago, Concubine Hui liked to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden in the clear autumn, but now she doesn't go there, she locks herself in the main hall of Yanxi Palace all day long, and doesn't leave the gate.
Even the few concubines living in her palace lived cautiously and did not dare to touch her bad luck.
Although this is a matter of the previous dynasty, and the emperor ordered that the harem be prohibited from intervening in politics.But throughout the dynasties, the former dynasty and the harem are inextricably linked and inseparable.
Yinyou doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, the person he cares about is Rong Ruo.
Mingzhu was dismissed as prime minister and ransacked the house. The emperor just stretched out a finger and twisted it, and the huge Mingzhu mansion collapsed.
Naturally, the confiscated family property was filled into the Emperor's House of Internal Affairs. As soon as Cao Langzhong from the Accounting Department arrived at the Yamen early in the morning, someone told him that there are many good things in the family after the Ming Dynasty has been in power for so many years.There are two libraries in the house alone, with countless calligraphy and paintings by famous masters, and rare books of Tang and Song Dynasties.
When Cao Yin heard this, he had a bad feeling, and sure enough, the other party added it and said: "The emperor sent an oral order this morning, please go to Mingzhu Mansion to supervise the records in person."
"..."
Although Cao Yin also despised Mingzhu for what he did, he was the only one who knew that Kangxi was going to attack Mingzhu, except for Gao Shiqi.During the Chinese New Year, Kangxi came to his house and specifically mentioned this matter to him, asking him not to reveal a word in front of Nalan.
But after all, he and Nalan have been in love for so many years, and their relationship is closer than that of their respective brothers.That's good, what's the matter with asking him to take someone to raid the brother's house?
When Cao Yin walked into Mingzhu Mansion, he happened to meet Nalan coming out in official uniform.The two looked at each other without embarrassment, and there was a helpless smile on Nalan's face.
Cao Yin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
It was Nalan who raised his hand and patted his shoulder when he passed by him.
Cao Yin asked: "Are you going to enter the palace?"
Nalan nodded: "Today I have to give lectures to Brother Seven."
Cao Yin nodded: "Brother Cheng..."
"Lixuan." Nalan interrupted him, "The female relatives are all in the backyard, including my mother-in-law, wife and daughter..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Yin nodded clearly: "Don't worry, I won't disturb them."
Nalan nodded and left without saying anything.
Cao Yin turned his head and watched Nalan's figure bypass Zhaobi and walk out of the gate of Mingzhu Mansion.
Naturally, the soldiers would not spare every corner when they searched the property, especially places like Mingzhu Mansion.In addition to searching for treasures for the emperor, I also want to take the opportunity to get some.
When Cao Yin found out, a group of soldiers had already entered the backyard.He hurriedly put down what he was doing and rushed over, and was about to yell at those people to go out, but saw an unexpected scene.
The female relatives huddled together in the room, shivering.In the middle of the main room sat Nalan's mother, Aixinjueluoshi, the daughter of Prince Azig of England.
The princess is a real golden branch and jade leaf, and the emperor will call her aunt when she sees her.Her father's confinement until his death didn't affect her status.Her daughter-in-law and a group of underage grandchildren are surrounded by her, as if she is the only support of the whole family.
However, it was not the old lady who made a kind of soldier hesitate.It was a girl standing in front of the door.
She just stood at the door alone, without even a personal servant girl, raised her chin slightly, and confronted the soldiers in the courtyard fearlessly.
Cao Yin even felt that it was too early to call her a girl. She looked only about ten years old, and her appearance was immature, just a child.Take a closer look, her eyebrows and eyes are at least seven or eight points similar to Nalan's.
At this time, Cao Yin thought inappropriately: If Brother Cheng was a girl, he would probably look like this.
Little Gege rolled his eyes and saw Cao Yin in court uniform, knowing that he was the leader.Staring at him, he suddenly took out a short knife from his sleeve, threw the scabbard on the ground, and said loudly, "I see who of you dares to take a step forward."
The old lady yelled something inside, but Cao Yin couldn't hear it clearly, it must be Xiao Gege's baby name.
But Little Grid still stood there motionless.Cao Yin felt that she was more like a descendant of Jin Taiji than her Ama. Nalan must have never imagined that it was his ten-year-old daughter who stood up to protect a family of old, young, women and children in the end.
Cao Yin bent down and picked up the scabbard from the ground, it was studded with precious stones, more like an ornament than a sharp weapon.
He approached Little Gege, and handed back the scabbard to him: "Don't be afraid, I'm your Ama's friend."
Afterwards, he led the little girl into the house and saluted the old lady: "Cao Yin has met the princess."
There is more than one princess here. Mingzhu's third son, Nalan Kuifang, married Prince Kang's daughter, and she is also a serious princess with a title.
When the old lady heard Cao Yin's name, her expression softened a lot: "I heard... I heard Brother Cheng mentioned you. You are working together in the palace, and you have a deep relationship."
Where did she hear Nalan mention Cao Yin, she clearly heard that Cao Yin was one of the many names mentioned by Mingzhu when she scolded her son.It's just that Cao Yin was Luan Yiwei next to Kangxi at that time, and she was different from those Han people, so she paid attention.
After all, it was the backyard where the women's relatives gathered, and Cao Yin couldn't stay long, so he said hello and took the people out, and he didn't forget to close the courtyard door for them before leaving.
As soon as Nalan walked into the study, Yinyou rushed over and hugged him tightly: "Rong Ruo!"
"Well," Nalan looked down at him, with a gentle smile on his face, and gently patted his head: "What's wrong?"
Yinyou raised his head, his eyes were wide open, filled with concern: "Are you okay?"
He has grown up and grown taller, he is a young boy who can fight Nalan dozens of times.
Nalan hadn't hugged him for a long time, seeing the little guy so clingy today, he simply bent down and lifted him up.Carry him to the desk and let him sit on the table.
"I'm fine."
Yinyou blinked, a little disbelieving: "Really?"
Nalan nodded: "Really, how could I lie to you?"
Yinyou didn't know if he lied to himself or not. Mingzhu's dismissal even affected Concubine Hui and elder brother a lot. How could Rong Ruo be good as his son?
Nalan sighed, not only was there no sadness in his sigh, but a sense of relief: "Actually, I had a very strong premonition a few days ago."
Yinyou said: "I can see it."
"I knew a long time ago that there would be such a day sooner or later. I disagreed with him for a day or two. For a long time in the past, I didn't even want to go home, let alone participate in his clique-forming activities."
"But I am her son after all. In that family, I still have a mother, wife and children."
Yinyou thought of the woman who appeared repeatedly in his poems—his first wife Lu Shi.
But he knew that the wife Rong Ruo was talking about was not the deceased Lu Shi, but the wife Ming Zhu remarried for him after Lu Shi passed away.
Rong Ruo had no feelings for this wife at the beginning, and this step-wife was just a victim of a political marriage.
But after Rong Ruo suffered a serious illness, he also figured out a lot of things, and no longer entangled in the people and things in the past.
Although still disapproving of Mingzhu's way of being an official, the relationship between father and son is not so tense.
Although there is no deep affection for his step-wife, he also has an extra responsibility.
"I have known that such a day will come, and I have already prepared myself." Nalan lowered his head and smiled helplessly, "I even think that this is what should be done. Since I, Ama, chose to do that at the beginning, I also You should have expected the result today. It’s just dismissal and house raids, and it can be regarded as... the emperor’s favor."
Nalan's narrative was calm from beginning to end, as if he was telling someone else's story.
Yinyou took his hand: "Do you really think so?"
Nalan smiled and said, "Of course it is true."
"Anyway..." the little guy bit his lip, "I said before, I will protect you and not let others bully you, and neither can I, Ama, so don't worry."
The smile on Nalan's face became deeper and deeper: "The emperor didn't bully me, so don't worry."
Not only did the emperor not bully him, he even promoted him.
Although Mingzhu was dismissed from the position of Minister of State and Cabinet, but Kangxi handed him over to the bodyguard and kept him as appropriate.
Soon after, Nalan Chengde, the eldest son of Mingzhu, was promoted to a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Rites by the minister of the Imperial Academy, and Nalan Kuixu, the second son of the Pearl, was promoted to a bachelor of the academy and minister of the Ministry of war.
The Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the court even discussed this in private. The emperor is worthy of being a young emperor, and he is the one who has really played the art of controlling people to the extreme.
When Mingzhu was in power, his three sons, the youngest son who was the most promising, married Prince Kang's daughter and had the title of Heshuo's son-in-law.
Not long after Ming Zhu was dismissed from office, the eldest son and the second son were successively promoted from second-rank ministers, and they were both highly valued by the emperor.
Rong Ruo was promoted, but Yin You was not very happy.The prince's masters were selected from the Imperial Academy. Now that Nalan has entered the cabinet and also served as the Minister of Rites, he is much more busy than at the Imperial Academy. There is no time to give him lectures.
A few days ago, he was talking about protecting Rong Ruo and preventing others from bullying his little guy, but today he is uncharacteristically.
As soon as Nalan walked into the study, he saw Brother Qi turning his head to the other side with an unhappy expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" Nalan walked up to him, "Who messed with you again?"
"Hmph!" The little guy pursed his lips, and an oil bottle could be hung on it, "I was worried that you would feel sad because of Master Mingzhu's affairs, but I don't know that you are going to be a high official now."
Nalan smiled helplessly: "It's not that I want to be a high official, it's the emperor who asked me to go."
"He told you to go and you go, it's not because he wants to be a high-ranking official."
Nalan frowned, showing an aggrieved expression: "This is the emperor's imperial decree, and if you resist the decree, you will be beheaded."
Yinyou suddenly reached out and pinched his face: "You look so good-looking, I, Ama, am reluctant to kill your head."
"That said, it seems like I'm useless except for being good-looking."
"..."
The little guy didn't speak, but turned to look out the window.
Nalan coaxed him patiently: "Why are you so angry?"
The little guy said pitifully: "You will not be able to teach me in the future, but someone else will be my teacher."
Nalan suddenly realized that Brother Seven was worried about this.
He was not in a hurry to explain, but continued to ask: "Is Brother Seven reluctant to part with me?"
Hearing this, Yinyou thought his guess was true.His eyes immediately turned red, and he raised his hand to touch it: "No!"
Nalan asked him, "Really not?"
"No." Yinyou shook his head, tears were already falling, "I remember you said before that this is your ideal, and now it has finally come true."
After all, he was just a child of seven or eight years old.Has never been as mature as his brother.Rich in emotion, the eye sockets are still shallow, just like when I was a child, I would cry every now and then.
Nalan took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears for him: "I realize my dream, and I can continue to teach you. This is not a conflict."
Yinyou took the veil and touched it on his face indiscriminately: "Really?"
"real!"
In the afternoon, when the two were practicing swords in the yard, the new servant of the Ministry of Rites was so embarrassed that he was forced to retreat repeatedly by the fierce sword moves of the seventh elder brother.As the Seven Star Sword in the opponent's hand flicked and swung, he only felt a shock in his wrist, and the tip of the sword had pierced his chest, and stopped a few inches away from his chest.
Looking down, the branch in his hand had been broken in two and fell to the ground.
Sitting at the stone table under the tree, Mr. Fu nodded while sipping tea: "Yes, it seems that you have already practiced this set of swordsmanship to the point of proficiency, and it's time to learn the next one."
"No way!" Yinyou put away the sword, a mediocre scumbag, and suddenly became strict with himself, "Let Rong Ruo change to a sword, and I will be considered a good learner if I can beat him."
Mr. Fu nodded in satisfaction: "That's right!"
So, the eunuch went to the house to get a sword again.
Nalan used to practice sword with him in order not to hurt him, so he always used tree branches.It was replaced by a real sword in his hand, which was quite restrained.
This set of swordsmanship, Yinyou has long been familiar with each move and style, and can change as he wants in actual combat.
From the beginning of the competition, he entered the palace very aggressively, and the aura he displayed was not like a child at all.
Nalan was still thinking about the scene of him crying in the morning, and when he received the move, he was timid and embarrassed.
But he is the imperial bodyguard after all, if he really lost to a seven or eight year old child, he would have to be laughed to death by Cao Ziqing.
So Nalan settled down and concentrated on the challenge.
Yinyou used too much force in the front, but then it seemed that he lacked stamina.
But he is smart, good at observing and analyzing the situation, and reacts quickly.For a while, Nalan couldn't do anything about him.
The two fought for a long time, but it was hard to tell who was the best. The little guy was so tired that he was out of breath. When he looked up, the stone table was empty, but Mr. Fu didn't know where he was.
He immediately put away his sword and shouted: "My master is gone."
Nalan looked back, also a little strange: "Where are people?"
The little eunuch on the side bowed and replied: "Mr. Fu said he was sleepy, so he went back to his room and took a nap."
"..."
On this day, the imperial concubine sent someone to invite the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother to return to Chengqian Palace for dinner in the evening.He said that he made some delicious food with the flour and rice they grew, and asked them to go back and taste it.
The fourth elder brother was reading in the yard, and Yinyou sat beside him to accompany him.
Brother's books here, apart from Buddhist scriptures, are related to farming, river engineering, bridge construction and road construction. Yinyou is not interested, so he might as well lie on the table and sleep.
The fourth elder brother knocked on the table: "Don't sleep, the weather is turning cold, be careful of catching a cold."
Yinyou stood up: "Then I'll go back to Chengqian Palace to see what delicious food Eniang has made."
The fourth elder brother nodded helplessly: "Go."
Yinyou entered Dongtongzi through the corner gate, and when he passed the gate next to Jingren Palace, he took a look in and seemed to see his elder brother standing at the gate of Yanxi Palace on the other side.
A bunch of eunuchs stood at the gate of the palace, but no one said anything, they just stood quietly with him.
Yinyou looked at it for a while, but didn't know what happened.
When he was about to go over to have a closer look, he was stopped by Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng whispered in his ear: "Little master, go back."
Yinyou bit his lower lip: "But my elder brother is still standing there, he doesn't look very happy."
As soon as Yinyou took a step, Zhao Cheng immediately stopped him from going: "Master, the imperial concubine is still waiting, let's go back quickly."
Speaking of the imperial concubine, Yinyou remembered what Eniang said to cook delicious food.As soon as he thought of delicious food, the little guy immediately left his big brother behind, turned and left.
There are many things that can be made from flour. The imperial concubine has two sons, one likes to eat salty ones, and the other likes to eat sweet ones, and they have to make two flavors to make desserts.
Shrimp dumplings were steaming in the steamer, and some biscuits were baked in the oven, sprinkled with chopped raisins.
The little guy ate a piece and complained to Er Niang: "There are too few raisins, don't cut them in the future, it will be delicious if you sprinkle a whole one on top."
The imperial concubine freed her hands to pinch his little face: "You know how to eat!"
Immediately, two white finger prints were left on the little guy's face, and his hands were covered with ashes.
He asked the maid at the side to fetch water to wash his hands, ran to the chopping board and kneaded the dough as well.
While kneading, he chatted with the imperial concubine: "When I came, I saw elder brother standing at the gate of Yanxi Palace."
The imperial concubine naturally thought of Mingzhu's affairs, and said without raising her head: "He should go back and see Emiang."
The little guy said again: "He doesn't seem very happy."
"He may not be happy recently."
The little guy asked, "Why?"
"Because..." The imperial concubine thought for a while, then changed her words, "But it's not necessarily true, I think he might be happy in two days."
When talking, Yinyou's hands were not idle.After a while, the imperial concubine turned her head, and saw a row of abstract-looking little people on the chopping board.
"This... what is this?"
Yinyou introduced them one by one: "The one with flowers on your head is you, and the one who is sitting is Ukumama. She is too old to stand all the time. There is also this one who is shorter, this is my brother."
The imperial concubine pointed to the person standing beside him: "Who is this?"
Yinyou replied: "This is Ama."
The imperial concubine was puzzled: "Why is this Ama, what are the characteristics?"
Yinyou asked him to take a closer look, and the villain's face was covered with deep and shallow marks.
So, this is Amma.
The imperial concubine held her forehead dumbfounded, not knowing whether to praise him for his meticulous observation, or to warn him that some things should not be said in front of Ama.
Yinyou gave her a serious look: "Don't laugh! My Ama is very handsome."
"Okay, okay, don't laugh." The imperial concubine tried her best to hold back, but she couldn't hold back, "This is a son filter, I understand."
"If my Ama wasn't handsome, would there be so many empresses vying to give him a son?"
"..."
The imperial concubine quickly changed the subject and asked, "Why aren't you here?"
"I didn't pinch."
"Why not pinch?"
"Because..." the little guy was very distressed, "Your dough is not as white as mine, and you can't make it look as good as me."
"!!!"
The dumplings are steamed, all the cookies have been tested, and there are some other snacks, both sweet and salty.
Yinyou took a plate, packed some of each item, piled it up into a high hill, picked it up and walked out.
The imperial concubine asked him: "Where is this going?"
"Give it to my elder brother, isn't he unhappy? I make him happy."
In the little guy's heart, there is no big trouble that can't be solved by a bite of dim sum. If so, then eat a few more bites.
When Yinyou came to the entrance of Yanxi Palace with snacks, the elder brother had changed from standing to kneeling at the entrance of Yanxi Palace.
"Big brother, big brother!"
The elder brother looked up at him, didn't speak, and looked straight into the palace gate.
Yinyou asked the eunuch next to him: "Did brother make any mistakes?"
The eunuch shook his head, not daring to say anything.
Yinyou said with emotion: "My eldest brother has already moved out of the palace, and if he made a mistake, he would be punished to kneel down. It's really pitiful."
The elder brother raised his head and looked at him again, wanting to say something, but he still didn't say anything.
The little guy said again: "How could Concubine Hui be like this, what did the elder brother do wrong, wouldn't it be fine if he was beaten? Why did he make him kneel for so long."
The elder brother finally couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand: "Stay aside."
Yinyou picked a biscuit from the plate and handed it to elder brother's mouth: "Looking at you, Concubine Hui won't let you have dinner. Come, take a bite to pad your stomach."
"..."
Eldest Brother took another look inside, the gate of the main hall of Yanxi Palace was still closed, and his mother had no intention of announcing him into the house.
So, he simply lifted his robe and stood up, pulling Yinyou to sit on the steps.
"You..." Yinyou opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Didn't you make a mistake and are being punished to kneel?"
"I didn't make a mistake." The elder brother picked a snack from the plate and threw it into his mouth, "It's just that she was angry and blamed me."
Concubine Hui didn't turn her anger on him, she was just angry at herself. After so many years, she finally had some hope, and something happened to Mingzhu again.
She didn't want to see her son, but felt that seeing her son would only make her sadder, but it would be better if she didn't see her.
"Then you can come back tomorrow."
The big brother ate another snack: "You think I'm still like you underage little brothers, coming whenever I want."
Yinyou said: "It's getting dark, even if you kneel all night, Concubine Hui won't let you in."
The elder brother glanced at the sky and sighed: "You are right, I should leave the palace."
He stood up and walked out, Yinyou also followed him, suddenly said: "Rong Ruo is now a cabinet bachelor and minister of rites, but he said that he will continue to be my teacher in the future."
Eldest brother perfunctory him absent-mindedly: "Oh, then congratulations."
Yinyou suddenly took a step forward and pulled his hand: "Oh! Don't think about it, since you haven't done anything wrong, why do you think so much? Come, have another bite."
The elder brother pondered for a long time and didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Nalan Chengde, until he reached the gate of the palace, he suddenly realized that although the emperor dismissed Mingzhu and ransacked his family, he promoted his two sons.
Since the emperor's father treated Mingzhu's son like this, naturally this matter would not implicate his elder brother.
Entering September, the ninth elder brother is also six years old. Together with the tenth elder brother, he came to the study room to go to school.
For the two children, the homework in the study room is indeed a bit heavy, so they have to get up early to study, and it is really difficult to get up at first.
The ninth elder brother couldn't get up at all, and the tenth elder brother was anxiously waiting outside the gate of his courtyard, but he didn't see him coming out. When he entered the room, he was still lying on the bed.
"Ninth brother, it's almost two o'clock, why haven't you got up yet?"
Brother Jiu pulled the quilt over his head: "No, no, no, I want to sleep."
"..."
The princes discovered that Brother Jiu is simply an upgraded version of Yinyou.Although Yinyou is naughty, he is good at studying. He can recite books and answer questions asked by his master.
But the ninth brother is different, he is not inferior to Yinyou when he is mischievous, but his academic performance is really worse than that of the fifth elder brother.
And Elder Brother Ten has a gentle temperament since he was a child. Although he is the son of a noble concubine, he has no opinions.
The culture class is okay, and it is not particularly difficult to memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic", with a master from the school.
The most troublesome thing is the math class. This class was newly added to the princes by Kangxi following the advice of the third elder brother.
Even the older brothers haven't learned much yet, and they need the tutoring of the third brother after class, not to mention the two little guys who just came to the study, neither of them can understand addition and subtraction within ten.
The eighth elder brother patiently helped them with counseling: "Five plus three, ninth brother, you can break your fingers, five fingers, plus three fingers."
"Eight?"
Brother Ba smiled and said, "Yes, so five plus three equals eight. Next, how much is seven plus six?"
Ninth Brother hit his head with the tip of the brush, and by the way, eighth Brother's ink was thrown off his body.The eighth elder brother was not angry, but just sat back to his seat silently.
Brother Jiu suddenly shouted impatiently: "Mynah, I don't have enough fingers."
The sixth elder brother in front couldn't bear it anymore: "Then you can add your toes."
Brother Nine made a face at him, then turned to pull Yinyou: "Brother Seven, tell me."
Yinyou nodded and said yes with a smile: "Think about it, you have seven pieces of mung bean cake, Brother Qi will give you another six pieces, how many pieces do you have in total?"
Brother Jiu stretched out his hand to him: "Bring it here."
"what?"
"Mung bean cake."
"..."
Yinyou said patiently: "I think...or else...don't study."
Brother Jiu threw away his pen: "I think Brother Seven is right, anyway, I don't want to learn anymore."
Brother Ten poked Brother Nine from behind: "Brother Nine, this is not good, that foreign master..."
Baotai reminded him: "Although he is a Westerner, his surname is An, and he is Master An."
Elder Brother Shi nodded obediently: "Master An said that he will have an inspection tomorrow."
The fifth elder brother came over and taught his younger brother: "Look at your seventh elder brother. He is in class, talks, sleeps and deserts, but he doesn't delay in reading and practicing calligraphy. You can look at you again."
Yinyou quickly waved his hand: "No, no, it's different."
Brother Jiu asked him: "What's the difference?"
Yinyou patted his younger brother's head lovingly: "Your seventh brother is smart, you are different, you are a fool."
When the people next to him heard this, they all couldn't help lying on the table and laughing.
Unable to lose face, Brother Jiu slapped the table and stood up: "Brother Seven, you are swearing!"
Yinyou slapped the table louder: "What's wrong with scolding you, I still want to beat you up."
"..."
After what happened last time, Brother Nine was somewhat afraid of Brother Seven.Yinyou said he was going to beat him, but he was scared.Sit obediently in your seat and continue to do the questions.
He stopped making noise, sat down obediently, and Yinyou explained to him seriously.In fact, Brother Jiu is not stupid. Give him a little guidance, and he will be able to make it very quickly, and he can draw inferences from one instance.
In addition to the questions An Duo left for them, Yinyou gave some extra questions to his younger brother, and Brother Jiu also made them very quickly.
The real headache is Elder Brother Ten.
The real headache is Elder Brother Ten.
If Brother Nine is learning the Five Elements because of being mischievous, then Brother Ten really reacts half a beat slower than others.
Yinyou, Yinhu, and Baotai surrounded him, thinking of various methods, and the three of them were about to quarrel with each other.The tenth elder brother was not in a hurry, but advised them: "Seventh brother, mynah, Baotai brother, stop arguing."
Yinyou pinched his face: "We're not arguing, you hurry up, Ama should be here in a while."
Later, Baotai and Eighth Brother also had to do their own homework, and had no time to waste here.They gave up one after another, and before leaving, they advised Elder Brother Ten: "Brother Ten, don't worry, take your time."
The two left in a hurry, Yinyou glanced at their backs with great resentment, and sighed.
The tenth elder brother saw that the eighth elder brother and Baotai left, he lost his patience, bit his lip, and put the pen on the clip: "Seventh elder brother, I don't want to learn anymore. Don't waste your time, you hurry up Go study."
Yinyou smiled and touched his head: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up."
After speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave.Halfway through the walk, I suddenly remembered that several years ago, on the second day after he was born, because the condition was not very good, the imperial concubine would go to Chuxiu Palace every day to check on his condition.
Yinyou also clamored to go with Eniang.The younger brother is so cute, such a small one, lying in the cradle, still smiling at him.
In a blink of an eye, the tenth brother has grown up so much, and he has become a naughty brat who can only follow behind the ninth brother.
However, compared with the ninth brother, the tenth brother is not too bad, so it can be saved.
Yinyou turned around again, only to see Elder Brother Ten who was about to stand up and rush towards Elder Nine who was beside him.
Yinyou fell back again, pressed him on his shoulder, and pushed him back into the chair: "I thought about it, although you can give up, but Ama will not let you go. He will hit your palm, I spank your ass and make you stand and copy books, so I ask you if you are afraid?"
There is no child who is not afraid of being beaten. Elder Brother Shi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he slapped him on the waist: "Brother Seven, save me!"
His voice attracted the eyes of all the older brothers in front of him.Yinyou hugged him: "Write quickly, write quickly."
Later, Brother Nine and Brother Ten discovered that Brother Seven was not a good person.In class, he was the one who spoke the most.Said the story he saw from the tree, Sun Wukong beat the bone spirit three times.
The Bone Essence turned into a young girl, so beautiful, and how Tang Seng fell for her.
"Sun Wukong has piercing eyes, so powerful, he can tell at a glance that the girl is transformed from a monster, and let her be revealed with a stick!"
Even the master An was attracted by his vivid narration. The oriental mythology is very different from their Nordic and Greek mythology. A monkey can become their hero.
Ando wasn't that out of tune either. He still remembered that his mission was to teach the princes mathematics.
"Ahem..." Master An coughed twice, reminding Yinyou that the voice was too loud, "Brother Qi, get up and answer this question."
Yinyou raised his head and saw a blank piece of paper hanging in the front, on which Master An wrote and drew, and demonstrated examples for the princes.
"B is equal to 1. Master An, you made a mistake in the step in the third row from the bottom. You wrote B as ji."
"Hahahahahaha!" The princes roared with laughter. Just now, everyone was immersed in the solution of this equation and couldn't help themselves. No one noticed this small mistake.
Master An is a foreigner, and the writing of Chinese characters is not so standardized. It is good that everyone can understand it, and no one cares so much.
Only Xiaoqi, he can always drive out things that everyone didn't expect.
Yinyou turned back and continued: "Later, the Bone Demon transformed into the appearance of the old lady..."
This class is really impossible.
After going out for three months, Suo'etu came back.
However, things didn't work out.
The reason is very simple, he and Tong Guogang disagreed during the negotiation process, and quarreled!
And when he came back, he brought Kangxi even more shocking news!
